Despite the trick, how many fire have they been able to put out? Do they have access to water at all? Wonder why you all need put up lies to defend what doesn't really exist.

Without taking sides, I can attest to the fact that Lagos state have a record of putting out fire in different areas of Lagos State. At least, I know of a family friend that benefitted from their services. Recently, they put out fire on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway; oko-baba, Ladipo and some other places. A search on google would provide you with other recent episodes that required the intervention of the Lagos State fire-fighters.

I doubt you no how much Nigeria make from religion tourism too and other sectors.

The problem is that these monies aren't in government purse but individual purses due to corruption.

This new move by CBN will drain those purses. New millionaire will rise, new was a millionaire will also dey.

Nigeria makes money from Religious Tourism?! You make me laugh.

Naira is not over valued. All these value attached to production and consumption is layman economic.

Saudi Arabia is oil based with little production yet their money is stronger than USD. Why is it so?

Additionally, Saudi sold approximately 161.7 billion dollars worth of crude oil for approximately a population of 36 million people while Nigeria sold approximately 30.6 billion dollars worth of crude oil for an approximate population of 200 million people. Factor in the money they make from Hajj (religious pilgrimage) and then you would understand why their currency is stronger.

With a population that is approximately 1/6th of Nigeria's population coupled with their vibrant chemical industry, do you have an idea, how much money Saudi makes from Religious Tourism? For context, they are projected to make about 350 billion dollars from that industry by 2030.

Nah lie.

If naira is floated with preferential treatment. Dollar will fall.

Why should we have BDC in the first place when there is bank?

Why should there be two exchange rate? That is the highest corruption.

You buy cheap here and sell higher over there.

I do not support 2 exchange rates (i.e different official and black market rates). I prefer that it should be floated, but once that is done Nigerians will see that the Naira had always been over valued. From our consumption and production comparison, I believe that Naira is over valued.

Although, I believe that the Naira losing more of its value if it is floated might be a blessing in disguise as it may reduce the appetite of Nigerians for imported stuffs.

If the Naira had been floated without CBN interventions for years now, the $1 would have been exchanging for more than #2000. The reasons are not far fetched, consumer driven and low-productive economy relying solely on the sale of crude oil. That is a recipe for economic disaster.

I remembered when my brothers went to do 20acres of cassava and plantain farming about 10years ago. Almost all the crops were stolen by the villagers, they had to abandon it after 2years

Na we dy do ourselves for 9ja.

I pray God gives you Strenght. Your business will Succeed.

At a point in time, I had over 40 pregnant sows, about 200 pigs ready for sale and I employed about 4 people with a farm size of 4 acres. You need to see how these greedy mofos wrecked the biz by creating artificial mortality. I shut down the business and they were begging me not to do so that they would be managing even if i could not continue paying their salaries from my purse. I told them, hell no! I shut the place down and though I lost some good sum of money but it was their loss, ultimately because they lost their jobs.

When people complain of lack of jobs, ask them what happened to the jobs that people created for them. Were the businesses growing or they killed the businesses?

Well, it is written that wisdom is profitable to direct.

I belief that this "rofo-rofo" fight would not have been necessary if Pa Adebanjo had built consensus amongst the Afenifere chieftains before endorsing anyone in the name of Afenifere and in the absence of consensus, he could have endorsed Obi in his personal capacity and try to sell his preferred candidate to whoever he wanted.

When you are leading a group, especially a socio-cultural one, you need to be circumspect. I will like for Pa Adebanjo to say that he announced Obi as Afenifere's candidate having met in council with the rest of the Afenifere chieftains.

The truth is the FG should have intervened in some of these issues and not wait for the state government since the FG will still be in charge of the ports at the end of the day through customs and NPA, the citizens will still be the ones to benefit regardless of the state, my main point is for the government to make life easier for all Nigerians...

I am interested in your hypothesis of the FG intervening in the siting of the port. The FG, State and Private Investors must have a consensus before there can be progress. What can the FG do, if private Investors do not want to commit their funds in projects in some locations? Remember that the FG only provides port licensing as it's contribution in exchange for equity and not necessarily cash.

Politics › Re: Ayo Adebanjo: Peter Obi Remains Afenifere's Candidate by teepain: 12:46am On Oct 31, 2022

Eriokanmi:
Can you compare what Pa Adebanjo said to his predecessor with what the moniker said of the former? They're not same. What's bad doesn't have 2 names.

For the avoidance of any doubt, I do not support that the moniker should insult Pa Adebanjo. Having said that, the following statement credited to Pa Adebanjo has a lot of gravity and it is capable of further polarising Afenifere.

“Tinubu bribed some people with little money to put up a show that there’s a division in Afenifere. I won’t engage him and those he gave money to because we have already made our position clear that Peter Obi is our candidate" - Pa Adebanjo.

If you examine this statement you can draw the following inferences;
(1) Pa Fasoranti alongside some Afenifere leaders were classified as "some people" therefore deligitimizing them as Afenifere
(2) That these people (renowned Afenifere leaders in their own right) could only support any candidate of their choice except they were bribed.

One would have expected that Baba Adebanjo to exercise better judgement than to further polarise the Afenifere socio-cultural group. The group has not fully recovered from the decision to choose Olu Falae ahead of Bola Ige as the Presidential Candidate of AD for the 1999 presidential election. People's right to side with candidates of their choices should never be queried. For instance, I know you as an Obi supporter, and I will defend your right to align with your candidate of choice if ever feel that your right is threatened.

I pray that this misadventure ends here without Afenifere suffering additional self-inflicted injury. "Aabo oro la n so fun omoluwabi to ba d'enu e a di odindi"

Your advise is apt, however you will do very well to channel this advise to Pa Adebanjo too. He crossed the boundary by insulting Pa Fasoranti, a living legend. People can have different political choices because "gbogbo was o le sun, ka k'ori so ibi kan na", accusing the likes of Pa Fasoranti of being monetarily induced is insulting the sensibilities of gbogbo Omo ka'aro ojiire. Somebody should play Pa Adebanjo a track from Yusuf Olatunji's track that says "e ma ba agba je b'oya a kan ni l'ola" which literarily means "don't subject the elderly to ridicule because it could be your turn tomorrow".

Ayo Adebanjo is old, senile and foolish. His one man Afenifere scam has been bursted today.

Fasoranti is the only recognized leader of Afenifere and prominent Yoruba leaders such as Olu Falae, Archbishop Ladigbolu, Bisi Akande, Alani Ipoola Akinrinade, Olu Bajowa, Dr. Kunle Olajide, Cornelius Adebayo, Seinde Arogbofa, Gbenga Daniel, Dare Babarinsa, Pius Akinselure, Bayo Lawal etc were all present. They all spoke unanimously in support of the endorsement of Bola Tinubu as the consensus south west candidate.

Ayo Adebanjo should return the money he collected from Peter Obi. The fake endorsement don cast. All prominent Yoruba leaders are with Fasoranti and not him. Enough of the drama and pretense from Ayo Adebanjo.

While I will want to refrain from taking sides in reinforcement of my personal principle that individuals are free to support candidates of their choice, I cannot but point out the fact that Pa Adebanjo over-reached himself this very time by alleging that Pa Fasoranti and the other Afenifere leaders were bribed to have endorsed Tinubu.

The inability of some of these elders to act with sagacity was what led to the diminishing influence of this group and the formation of the Yoruba Council of Elders.

In hierarchy, Pa Fasoranti is a boss to Ayo Adebanjo and therefore the old man deserves some respect! I don't care about their political preferences but the "omoluwabi" ethos demand respect for older people, especially those who have paid their dues and those above you in hierarchy. Pa Adebanjo should be reminded not to insult his elders else same would be done to him when his time comes.

Don't get too emotional about his post. I guess what he meant was that Doctors get trained for next to nothing in comparison to the cost in the western world but I guess that extends to all other professions too.

Everyone have been short changed in Nigeria and I believe that only very few earn any pay that is commensurate with their knowledge and education.

Right now, doctors are indispensable o.

I was at a State hospital (the biggest hospital in that state) recently and was shocked when the most senior doctor there told me there were only 3 doctors left in the entire hospital.

There used to be more than 20. Most have left the country.

This hospital treats several hundred people a day, and that excludes all those on admission.

The 3 doctors work about 16 hours a day, and are usually rushing back from home when there is an emergency. No rest for them.

We have to respect doctors.

Doctors deserve respect just like every professional. Respect the cook who prepares your food because just a little poison can kill. Respect your house maid because her unhappiness can bring sad tales. I can go on and on. So, who shouldn't be respected?

People were not trooping into Lagos when Jakande and Awolowo did free education with shinkinni money, compared to the huge IGR and allocation of the past 24 years? Is the huge IGR not linked to people trooping into the state?

Please what do you gain for excusing failures

Excusing failures? In any case I will let that slide. When Awolowo, Jakande, Ajasin, Onabanjo and co implemented free education, the policy was a party policy that cut across many states and therefore the impact on the migration pattern was not devastating.

What you should be asking is why do few states thrive in this country, with others just contented with sharing allocations monthly without doing anything beyond sharing the booty,believing that they would get another largesse at the end of the month.

Is it not hypocrites that will call Tinubu a progressive politician when he only steals instead of giving free education for all children, something that is the cornerstone of social mobility

I dare say that the implementation of free education for all children by any state government is a recipe for disaster where the FG doesn't have a free education policy and the other remaining states aren't ready to implement same. The attendant effect is that there would be a lot of migration to such a state therefore putting unnecessary pressure on its resources.

Looking at how people troop into Lagos State on a daily basis one wonders what the governors do with their allocations and IGR. I have seen some states declaring zero IGR in the past, Haba.

LASG can do more and they should but that doesn't mean we should demonise everything about them.

One of the principles that underpins professional ethics is "conflict of interest". Wherever a professional acts in a way that conflict of interest can impair his/ her judgement, he or she would be deemed to have acted unprofessionally. As a corrections officer, Umoh has supervisory obligations over the inmates. If he starts sleeping with them he may be unable to perform his functions properly and therefore what he did is unethical.

He is even greedy to want to cheat other geo zone in his region.

You're not talking to a novice Oga.

It was not my intention to convince you to change your take on Tinubu and I do not speak for him.

I only explained my understanding of the context in which he made his statement. Beyond that you would have noted that in my concluding paragraph that I said that having won his party's primary the fate of Mr Tinubu becoming the President of Nigeria or not is in the hands of the Nigerian electorates who are free to vote for any candidate of their choice.

I do not believe that Tinubu's statement was meant to be tribalistic and I say this advisedly. If you look at the context in which he made the statement, it was before his party's primaries.

Now, I believe that there were agreements that Buhari, Tinubu and other major players entered into before forming APC. If one of the agreements was that APC will field Tinubu as it's candidate after Buhari's tenure then it was well within his right to have requested for adherence to that agreement from his party: at least in his shoes, I or any other person would have requested for same.

However the agreement to field Tinubu by APC, even if it was pre-agreed can only be enforced in the party's primaries.

Having emerged as APC's flag-bearer, I am sure that Tinubu cannot use that statement because he had no such pact with Nigerians. He has to now slug it out with other contestants and I am sure he knows that.

Most of the policy proposals of the presidential candidates are too generic. We need practical steps and I guess that's what Rinu is demanding.

For example any candidate proposing state police should give details of the

- Mode of operation,
- Relationship with Nigerian Police,
- etc
If the candidate doesn't have this outline of practical steps written somewhere with timelines where possible, then it will be business as usual if elected.
