I'm a proud Nigerian, I am not a refugee, this is my home, my investments are here and they will continue to thrive here, I am not a sIave that will run to serve white men in their homes, work in kitchen, mortuary, clean streets, I am a full blooded Nigerian and I'm proud of it.
Back to ur topic.
All what I listed are what a state governor should do, it's quite uñfórtuñate that u think that FG should provide; water, primary health care and general hospitals that are well equipped, most of the roads in a state are to be developed by state governors and LGA, same as schools, same as sanitation, parks are to be built by state and local governments.
U absorb obi of all his failures as a governor for 8 solid years and u name him messiah because u think a president should bring; water for you, build housing for u, build all the schools, build all the health sectors, build all the streets and light them.
Obi is a coIIosaI failure and the funny part is that most of u making noise on the internet don't even know what a president should do, what a state governor should do and what a Local governor chairperson should, just noise, that's why the failure becomes messiah overnight.
Sanwo-Olu is building railway infrastructures today, how many did Obi build?
Governors are building stadium, airports how many did Obi build?
Governors are creating employments, how many did Obi build?
Governors in the north provide tap water for their people, how many did Obi provide?
See fire services provided by other governors, which one did Obi provide?
Other governors are forming sanitation agencies to clean their state, which one did Obi do?
Nothing, he did absolutely nothing worth qualifying him as a good leader but because ur pastors want their man in power, they white washed him and u all followed, u want ur tribesman in power, u pick him up, dust him and white wash him.
WE WILL NEVER VOTE HIM FOR PRESIDENT.

NairalandForumo:
So you are saying Tinubu is better than Peter Obi?

Bendeco2020:
Stop deceiving yourself.

Yorubas never love Igbos but some ignorant Igbos are yet to know this. They think that North is their problem because of religious sentiment.

Most Yoruba leaders teamed against Jonathan because they sees Jonathan government as Igbo government.

During last election, some Yoruba leaders made hateful and tribal statements against Igbo.

Can you show me where any Igbo leader made an open tribal statement against Yoruba if not the kids and unknown people online.

There was never a love or unity between the two tribes

Benwallt:
Lawyer and Human Rights activist, Prof Chidi Anselm Odinkalu has reacted after seeing that the total amount the former governor of Anambra state, Peter Gregory Obi spent as legal fee in his electoral expenses was N744,500,000.

According to PUNCH, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party spent a whooping sum N744,500,000 on litigation following his loss in the 2023 presidential election.

The information was disclosed by the Chairman of the fundraising team for the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Organisation, Aisha Yesufu at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday.

Reacting to the report, Prof Chidi Anselm Odinkalu said it is surprising that the biggest single line item in the electoral expenses of Peter Obi is not media or polling agents but legal expenses.

He wrote on his page;

"Revealing - isn't it - that the biggest single line item in the electoral expenses of Peter Obi is not media or polling agents but Legal expenses? It's a consequence of the mess that lawyers & judges have made of Nigeria's electoral system".

No, and i even think their salaries should be cut. Drastically cut. Spending money on cars, and the one billion, all that was wrong.

But even if we did that it won't cover subsidy costs.

Ditto the aso rock budget. Again it should be cut.

As for why tinubu cut subsides, it is what happens when 90 % of the income is going for debt service. Which would have risen to over 100% ifwe kept subsidy

Which means pretty soon IMF and World Bank would be our rulers. If you think tinubu or even obi and atiku or even Army was bad...

Dangrace01:
Where does the word nyash originate from

Aza is a coined word it dosent need to come from any tribe

AkhereOkaka:
Coined by undergraduate from Unilag? Please do your research properly Aza is a Bini word for account, treasury. I know of a Benin song done more than 4 decades ago by late Osayomore Joseph he used the word Aza,


When did internet fraud gain prominence? When we where growing up as a kid in the early 1990's what we heard of then is 419.


We rise by lifting others

nairalanda1:
Just for jols.

National Assembly spent 221 bn on itself in 2023.

Subsidy costs for the first six months of 2023? 6 trillion naira

Nostring:
Igbo and benin fighting over a useless word " aza" up dia😂

Zooposki:
The talk does not even sound Igbo. When did you guys begin yahoo yahoo? Abeg send me your aza. Does that sentence sound like what a benin boy would say or an Igbo boy?

Pythagoras001:
Just Solve the corruption and productivity issues

Kukutenla:
You should ask your Emille o'Corn that daft question. You all have said subsidy removal and floating naira is good for the economy. Why then are you turning round to apportion blame to those who have nothing to do with the policies?

Is it mental cornfusion or corntusion?


Stop fishing for idiots Mr man. We all know on whose table this falls flatly

Kukutenla:
Op don't be a zombie.
I can see what you're doing.
Seems you did not sleep well which is why you woke up to look for someone to blame for sleeping hungry yesterday night.
You follow shout emilokan, now you're being deprived of a meal o' corn 🌽 😉

First of all, by now, I expect anyone with a functioning brain in Nigeria to realise that there's nothing like subsidy cabal. That word was just created by political hacks to demonise subsidy and make it look like it is the reason Nigerians are suffering. Mind you, after the coinage of subsidy cabal, we've had humongous looting of our stock exchange yet no stock cabal, looting of the CBN yet no central bank cabal and lately looting of ministry of humanitarian yet no humanitarian cabal. Stop being a zombie by regurgitating stale propaganda words.

Secondly, like someone pointed out to you, the value of the money being bandied as gains of subsidy removal in terms of increase in FAAC allocations is actually gains of devaluing the naira. The subsidy removal gain has not reflected in our remittances. In fact, as at now, it seems there's less money because while the naira has weakened further by 100% since August last year, the allocation has not increased by same figure but instead remained the same. This means the states are effectively getting less than they were during Buhari's time.

So instead of blaming governors for a meal o' corn, you should ask what your god is doing with the dollar denominated returns which the states don't have access to.

And also stop telling lies. Where did you see governors mopping up dollars with their allocation? Any evidence for this or it's just your normal gibberish in defense of a meal o' corn 🌽

UptownVibes:
My question is ,since the subsidy was removed where is the money going to? Because security became worst,economy zero, infrastructure nothing, unemployment on the rise. What is Tinubu doing exactly? Anyways,maybe its the punishment for Nigerians not voting for him..

So its left for Nigerians to stand up ,and let him know that Nigeria doesn't belong to him and his benefactors only.

skj1377:
Well I hope president Tinubu is getting all this negative feedback. He has been mislead. I wonder how he can find his way back

odduduwa:
are you done voting APC ? U never see anything, you have no right to complain

psucc:
The essence was to "continue where Buhari stopped". The suffering was going to the next level and now in a Pro max

Creamcrest:
no money for subsidy for the masses but there is money to fund lavish livestyles of elected officials.

Nigeria is not broke to pay subsidies we only have wasteful leaders.

cjrane:
In this day and age when you can contact people in America via WhatsApp, they are bringing back this policy that stopped dollar remittances into Nigeria. They have just opened business again for those who would ask you to give them the dollars in America and then they will transfer the agreed naira equivalent to your loved ones in Nigeria.

Ultimately, Nigeria loses on the dollars her people would have sent into Nigerian banks. The dollars remain abroad while the people in Nigeria who need dollars to fund their accounts abroad are merely asked to pay naira into an account in Nigeria and they will credit your account in China! So the dollars never enter Nigeria.

Acidosis:
In Nigeria, tough times require tough measures ONLY against the common and the helplessly senseless common man.

Politicians will always have their way. If I may ask though, why are you against globalisation? The world is a global village now. You can't box people.

Ategberoson:
Give it to Yoruba men when it comes to intertribal marriage


Dated a Kaduna babe before, we couldn't make it together because of religion, had a date with a Kano babe as well, dated delta, akwaibom, dated imo married Abia

In short you don taste all Nigerian apples

I be one Nigerian gan gan, what's ndume bragging about

shortIGBOman:
North can never suffer. We get food, we get un tapped Oil/Gas, we get the best grade of Gold in the World. We also have all the Mineral resources that exist in this World, in abundance.

But the West has nothing. They only have Lagos and Amala. However, when Nigeria split, Mokwa went get value past Lagos
