One failed governor who saved every penny belong to Anambra into his personal bank while deceiving his fellow yeebos the money was being saved to be used in the future.

phantonce:
Why are nigerians short sighed?

One of my uncle recently bought a 2009 tokunbo suv for 2.5 million naira.

He didn't know he could get a brand new innoson suv for 3 million and naija made hyundai suv for 3.5m

Collynzo22:
What are the implications?
Take for example Innoson whose business has been supported by GEJ's policies. His cars are being used by FG agencies, police and FRSC in some parts of the country, individuals and companies are also rushing to pick up his cars.
With his business moving at such pace, is it a bad thing if he turns to a billionaire?
What about the jobs created?

Adminisher:
The IQ is very very low. This is a shame to have as Nigeria's president. His supporters know the man is mentally handicapped but he is all they have. What a pity?.

sufido123:
Buhari is not the change we need

stevecantrell:
Does he even know the implications of such careless talk ?

Truckpusher:
Suddenly the self acclaimed saint Buhari is wining and dinning with thieves and these dumb Nigerians still call him a saint?
What an irony.
We should speed up the breakup of this fraud called Nigeria - I'm tired sharing the same country with slaves of the Gambaris.

temitemi1:
Buhari is tinubu's LACKEY... GEJ till 2019!!!

dechandel:

Never wear his engagement ring for more than two years

PhockPhockMan:
So, fashola that deported his fellow citizens despite knowing that he's acting against the constitution of the country is a disciplined person abi? Now I know I've been arguing with a brainless fellow.

Weselion:
Are you comparing Boko haram to Niger delta militants? Those guys had a reason for fighting. They fought for their oil, government called for amnesty and they agreed. But Boko haram will they agree for amnesty, they are fighting to islamize the whole Nigeria, they are working hard to discredit the mans work. One thing I know is that if Jonathan is no longer president, Boko haram will automatically stop

stebell:
OP, yu shud be ashamed of yourself. so cos yu kno he is declaring today yu and ur rodents up North decided to bomb so as to foil todays activity. yu hav failed.

2moro yu wud say ur North is not developed.

GEJ till una stop to bomb and kill una people.

Rajiolaade: Ajaokuta was designed to convert iron ore from itakpe deposit into billet & bulk steel products for downstream inland steel rolling mills at osogbo,katsina,jos&aladja utilisation i.e their main raw material.Ajaokuta failed woefully to even commence talkless of delivering on its main job,why jubilating over ordinary conversion programme, which far lower private firms compare to even any of our inland rolling mills capacity are currently handling nationwide.ajaokuta only commences the dead& already sold out inland mills jobs, likely at higher prod. cost, of which they may not be able to breakeven.

priscaoge: Think about the Transformation,job opportunities and employment! It's not always wise to criticise good things even when d truth is glaring. It's a very wise decision to take which will help to curb unemployment in the country. And about d Duration of d cars,my dear its certain! Cars will be cheap that even d poor can afford it,Nigeria will export cars to other countries n it will help to build our Economy! Let's always be positive,Nigeria is our country,let's make it a better place.

Collynzo17: Absolute trash!
1. The UN is always involved in a referendum, any country that emerges from a referendun not sanctioned by the UN is not internationally recognized i.e somaliland etc
2&3. The South South region was artificially carved out to address the issue of minorities and from the look of things, they are happy with being seen as one region.
4. Biafran pound was used by Biafra for 2 years, I am not aware of any difficulty in creating a new currency, maybe you need to educate us on that.
5. Those who have oil on their land will control what belongs to them
6. Land locked countries exist all over the world and most are doing well. They can always import through the ports of neighbouring countries and pay the required duties.
7. Comparing the disunity in Nigeria with what is obtainable in the UK is quite laughable.
Bottomline: People must be allowed to choose what is right for them.
Your arrogant and long sermon cannot change that.

sonnie10: In as much as we are all aware that anything goes in Nija, I believe that any thing that is worth doing is worth doing right. You do not have to own a plant as big as Innoson to do this. Any certified auto mechanic, given the right equipment and tools [/b]would be able to mount an engine/ transmission and suspension. Same goes for the electrical aspect. What else is a car made up of? This is not the job for engineers.

sonnie10: On the customs website, there is provision for importation of semi Completely Knocked Down (CKD) vehicles. The total duty/levy on semi-CKD is about 20%. I would assume that any smart importer would bring the vehicle in as semi- CKD. All it would take is to employ people who would put the parts together; considering that labor is cheap in Nigeria, this definitely would be more cost effective.

In a layman term, importing semi-CKD means you ship only body, and the mechanical/electrical components are packed and shipped separately.

chuckdee4: I understand the government trying to generate revenue but my issue is 'will this revenue be put to good use or is it just more money for the government to embezzle?'

texazzpete: I'm not sure which is more stupid.

This brainless policy or the ordinary Nigerians that defend it.



The tariff increase is NOT required to create jobs. tax breaks and import waivers for local manufacturers are more than enough incentive to attract more investment in this sector.
People will patronise locally assembled cars if the savings from the local assembly is passed on to the consumer. At this stage, the local assembly scene is still in its nascent stages, there are ZERO vehicles available for sale apart from a few lower end and tiny Hyundai or Kia vehicles. Where is the local car for anyone who wants to buy a reliable family sized Sedan?


It's strange...when it comes to fuel subsidy removal the FG is keen to stress that 'Market forces' will drive down prices of fuel. For some reason, they are incredibly reluctant to let these same 'Market forces' apply in the purchase of autos.

All this has done is to drastically drive up the cost for the average Nigerian to purchase a vehicle that they like. Only sycophants and traitors are in support of this tarriff increase at this moment.

ayusco85: Nepa outtage should be blamed for young girls getting pregnant. Hear her story........

fairygeh: I totally agree with the op.where I see ths teenage girls most is my church, they can be so unruly and difficult. They wear clothes as if they are going to the club.they are so rude to say the least to adults and all through service all they do is talk,gossip about boys,listen to music and chat,ping all through.i was unfortunate to sit with some of them one day in church and I didn't even hear what the pastor said all through.i was so angry.,it was because of ths girls that the use of phone during service was prohibited in my church. And any of them who dares to, his/her phone would be seized.na so dem gentle o

Happywoman: Disgusting is the word. I pictured these fellas nak€d and Eminem's "Puke " came to my mind.

otijah: according to the above post "However, eight out of the 36 states in Nigeria recorded a score less than 10%. These states include Adamawa, Jigawa, Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi. Others are Gombe, Bauchi and Yobe". what is wrong with the educational sector in the north?

khiaa: Change that to SOME women worship/love money. The love of money is the root to evil.

UchihaMadara: You see many houses like so in Lagos (Lekki, V.I, and so on), a big mansion and outside, the roads are terrible, and the gutter is open for the world to see, filled with green shh that can make you throw up your breakfast on leaving your mansion.

I just don't get how houses in Nigeria go for such high amounts, and you get nothing, no amenities, nothing!

Compare this guys neighbourhood now in Lekki:

whirlwind7: It doesn't take rocket science to figure out. Cost of running business in Nigeria is outrageously high. Same reason why many companies have been shut down: No water, no electricity.

zudozz: I ve nothing against Tinubu or Ikimi. I am only gutted 4 Nigerian Youths here taking sides Ikimis or Tinunbus. Heavens Earth Grass sand water Oceans air we breathe all know n acknowledge that this men are comon criminals who have done more harm to this country (ur children n grand children... n their future) n u re all supporting them n d party they represent. Ikimi is a sure Margot everybody knows. Tinubu just like other past govnors n politicians did not loot money during his 8 yrs tenure 2 acquire Oando, D Nations News Paper, Oriental Hotels n tens of other massive investments......my maigaurd did!

funshint: U̶̲̥̅̊ can call Tinubu anything but the fact remains he's simply intelligent! If ACN was to go by "Primaries" as some pple want, someone like Fashola will never smell the governorship seat... Jagaban is a flying eagle!!!

chemali: If you read the news, the information Tinubu gave on the Oando transaction is what everyone knew all this while. Also the fact that he puts his weight behind certain candidates doesn't make him anti democratic. The question is does he manipulate results to favour his candidates? And he obviously didn't say that, so I wonder where you got your conclusions.
