i like how u r stating your points without insults i really appreciate that, are u based in Nigeria

Thank you, my hope is that the youths can read and understand that we are all victims of maladministration. I schooled in the East, did Nysc in West, lived in Abuja and Jos for a while before relocating to Portharcourt. I can tell you for free that the same rain (economic hardship) that falls in the west also falls in the north, South and Eastern part of this country. The moment we realise that we are the ones that will pay for all these financial recklessness being exhibited in our polity today the better.

An average Nigeria youth can be liken to a hungry man who is at home thinking of how to make ends meet only to receiving series of hotel bills from his parents parties that he not even aware of. CBN told us that over 60% of the monies printed are in private vaults.

I can't remember withdrawing 100k cash, all banks have functional apps and cards. If I am to travel, handy 20k and a fuel tank is ok. If I am to make big purchases I prefer bank transfers as they also serves as irrefutable proof of payment and helps accountability. So why keep cash if not for negative reasons.

What is lacking in our society today is accountability, Nigeria has all it takes to be far better than where we are today, if we package and respect ourselves, Oyibo will be queuing up for our visa. It begins with the right leadership, we have so many people with serious character flaws at corridors of power, it shouldn't be and we are even clamouring for more of such likes to take over because of our whatever reason, the rain maker said we can't sow cassava and rip cocoyam.

I can't remember when last I had 100k cash at hand, what do you need cash for in society of today? Not an average Nigerian politicians, they offload bullion van in their compound, Dino Melaye last weekend made a cash donation of 500k at an event. If we must move forward as a nation, we have to move away from these attitudes that only set us backwards.

u need to b in d senate n see d kind of money that is accrued to them, everything is not all about stealing.
If u r senator in this country, your perspective about life wil change

Bros, I have a life, if I am the president, I will influence my philosophy on the polity. We all travel and enjoy how smoothly things work, how easy it is to get things done in organised society, why buy a car that you can't drive in your village because you used the money for road repairs to "feel" among.

Until we understand that we are the ones to fix our nation by managing the little resources we have prudently, then our salvation will be near.

Imagine having a functional water board in villages where water is a scarce commodity, you employ the villagers at the water Corp, the villages gets water, life becomes easier on them because they have one less thing to worry about. The cost of a ferrari can take care of this.

We will soon have people with a different mindset in positions of authority, we will then know how bad we have been treated.

gassbee:
you talk like this because u have not been there and seen money

Not everyone takes what doesn't belong to them. Stealing public money, yahoo yahoo and the theif that comes by night are the same thing.
If anyone is involved in any of the above, let the person know that he/she a common theif.
If my only reason for not being a thief is that I haven't found what to steal, what a pathetic life am I living?

People have held position of trust and did excellently well, the youths should learn about money. If you need money work. If you are working and your pay is not enough, skill up, pick a side hustle, whatever you do, don't steal, I want riches but I don't want Dino's kind of riches, my kia soul provides more comfort than Dino's ferrari, what an irony.

shortIGBOman:
Emeka quit wailing over Dini Melaye's Lamborghini. Go hustle. Upgrade from your Gala Hawking business.

If you are serious, can we have a conversation on this? Have Dino been involved in any business or paid employment all his life?

Dino and his likes are bad influence on the younger youths of this country, "chopping without working" that's why quick riches syndrome is endemic in forms of Yahoo, money ritual, drug trafficking and Prostitution

This allegation should be investigated by the police authorities, we can't tolerate this kind of politics in 2022.

Let us come out and vote for our candidates, campaign based on verifiable track record, and see a working Nigeria that is different from Apc/Pdp shenanigans.

Nothing we no go hear for Nigeria. There is so much maladministration at an unprecedented height in this Apc administration.

Dollar rising like a helium filled balloon.

maryamabba:
CBN need to put some measures in place, anybody that needs dollar should go to the bank and obtain it with ease. It is only in Nigeria that black market rate nonsense is happening. Aboki will wake up and add money, who does that.
Every sector of Nigeria enterprise need to be regularised

That's one market that shouldn't exist but it does because the banks are weak. Before you get dollar in our bank for official use, it always take months wait. So the black market is booming because it is bridging the gap between our weak banking institutions and demand for fx.

Misleading headline.

Lama70:
Are the eastern states sealed for him?
I wonder why he's not campaigning there. Maybe the region is in the kitty for him.

Good luck!

The Eastern votes are at least 70% for him, the 30% will be because of the influence of political office holders in PDP and APC. Normally the Eastern states infrastructure was built by the community, so government influence is only for a few, and the few are the 30%.

That one dey, abeg allow baba to feed his eyes.

He is the best option by every margin.

Tareq1105:
What Tinubu meant was that Mercedes Benz and BMW manufacturers are highly indebted, running on loans yet their products remain the best in the world.

Nigeria can be in debt but if the debt is well utilized the economy will boom even in debt.

Tinubu talks proverbially and more of such will come.

He talks incoherently not proverbial, I asked what is the correlation between national borrowings to citizens using Benz and Co?

alanto:
If you are foreigner and reading this.. you need to understand that both the writer of this article and many of the commenters are mischievous people and do not represent the way nigerians think....
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed is saying the same thing that all nigerians have been saying including obi who doesn't have a road man for what hes saying which is buy locally made products. Is mercedes benz or lexus produced in Nigeria? No! While you buy this vehicles you're not helping Nigeria and Nigerians.... How many Nigerians are patronizing locally made cars? In everything we prefer imported, yet we say the economy is not doing well, dollar is going up.. and then you have a presidential aspirant that said he will lift all restrictions on importation turning Nigeria to a dumping site.

To real Nigerians as you listen to these politicians during the election period. Critically analyze their depth by what they said and also scrutinize their past record, that way chances of voting a dullard is slim

I read you comment, but it didn't address the crux of the matter which is "borrowing". Can you correlate citizens driving benz and lexus to government borrowings?

Mystic216:
Mumu
Shetima, your grandfather’s running mate banned all the betting platforms years ago and nothing happened
So what are you trying to say now
Olodo

They don't have a mind of their own, they are fed information and they run with it without verification.

What is happening in this country? This level of insecurity is on heard of, even with armed escort you are still not secured, bullet proof car sales will go up. Life in Nigeria.

Good. No peace for the wicked.

Good life and hard life doesn't discriminate, so is also good governance. We need a positive change in this country.

Tha k you Nwanyi Oma, may God bless you.

The best approach to insecurity is to engage the idle mind productively, so many idle minds in the north.

Neddstark:
Good move. Nigeria must do this next.
African countries can't be training medical and health practitioners for 1/50 the cost of the UK. Only for the same beneficiaries to leave the system and be of use to a society that did not train them.
Insult me all you can but when you or a loved one is having a medical issue and you are stuck with an auxiliary nurse and you have to be on a 3hour queue because there are few doctors on standby, then your eye will clear. Unfortunately, you will blame Buhari or the next president.

That is curing the symptom without addressing the root cause of the disease. Migration to greener pasture will continue. Have you ever been close to most children of top government official in this country? Most live large without lifting a finger, until African systems returns to merit based, people will always go to where they are more appreciated.

Ok. Internally generated revenue, numbers go up, street suffer, numbers come down street people un affected, over 70 perfect of Nigerian urban dwellers provide their own housing, hospital needs, water, security to an extent, even do road repairs. What is the government doing with our taxes?

This list is controversial and incomplete information. When you present report like this, you back it up with evidence or insert link to Transperency International which is your source.

This guy is not serious.

Ana enwe obodo enwe.

NuclearReactor:
To think that this is the same keeper that with him in our post ghana and algeria scored us so easily is what i cant wrap my head around.

.

The guy was looking fresher than he was looking when he was with the national team.

I think we should look at this scenario from the prism of competence, the only way people that are not close to power can benefit from power is by voting in competent people in positions of authority, just like in an organisation, having competence people at stations ensures work gets done. If Nigerians understands this and know that the president may be your next door neighbour but if he is incompetent, you will suffer from his maladministration. Market prices doesn't discriminate across regional or party lines, a better Nigeria with strong and secured economy is a big win for all of us.

HURIWA just lost its credibility. Orji Uzor Kalu that was jailed and released on "technical grounds" is what an organisation like HURIWA is defending. A man who in court admitted moving funds from Abia state confers straight into his company account and never returned the money. We can do better please HURIWA, you guys better issue a disclaimer or change your name and join politics

Whatever Labour Party does is headline news, this pure content for the shallow minded journalists.

They will work overtime today, the nation can do better but we already know the kind of stuff they write. Peter Obi is the only candidate that has the political will to effect a positive change in Nigeria.

This election should be issue based, candidate ideas on how to move the nation forward. The candidates prescribe method to tackle issues facing us now, and not who showed up or not

dangermouse:
come to Haiti and clear your doubts. Until then keep quite!

Then why is Haiti poor with such a super natural power?
