Come ooo..... what is wrong in praying for Nigeria and a leader? Were you expecting him to say that God will curse Nigeria through president BAT?

The man of God prayed a normal standard prayer and gave a good advice as a notable leader. What is the offence?

When pastor oyedepo lambasted buhari and tinubu then winners was no longer a Yoruba church.

I have said it time and time again that the activities of my igbo brothers since the emergence of KANU and now Peter Obi has created so much problem to us. No tribe will trust and agree to work with us.

Hia hia hia.

@akaahs
Oga stop confusing urself. U have stated the obvious reasons y our roads fail on time. So, the minister is right by saying minimum of 6 years before any repairs work.

@me
I think you have a reading comprehension problem. The writer stated that a road that dilapidates within 6 years is a substandard job. I replied and argued against it and stated reasons why Nigerian roads spoil quickly.

What is the confusion there? Hia

It's no use lamenting. We have gotten used to certain way of life now the situation has changed. In developed economies they will ask you first of what you can do(experience and skill). In Nigeria they will ask you of your certificate and grade.

If the cost of living is increasing, the solution is not lamentations and name calling. The solution is multiple streams of income and cutting of costs. Everyone can do it. Who tells you that you can't work in an office and have a barbing shop as side hursle? That's what they do abroad and their GDP increases.

We all have lived false lives for a long time. Reality has cut up with us. It's time to realign. It's not tinubu's fault. Experts saw it coming for a long time. Our revenue to GDP ratio has been low and we did nothing to increase revenue.

We have not been producing but consuming. Tinubu and his team will have to make painful decisions. We don't pay tax particularly income tax. Other nations make people work so that the government earns tax.

We just love subsidy. Import subsidy through fx rate. Petroleum subsidy. Therefore it's easier to make money through buying and selling than production. Now petroleum subsidy is gone the refineries will work.

Lazy me. Lazy Nigerians. Past leaders couldn't make hard decisions. Sell crude oil. Subsidise import and that's all. Nobody thought about tomorrow. Now the tomorrow we didn't plan for has cut up with us.

The president is a hard man. He's focused on expansion of revenue Viz blue economy, gas, solid mineral, tax reforms etc. The pains must come because we lived a riotous past.

@Chikeluba25
What?

I can't believe a minister of work is boasting that his road will last for 6yrs and people are celebrating it....

In Anambra, the Awka/Onitsha old road built by Chris Ngige in 2003 has lasted for 20yrs still solid.

Nigeria my country. The statement is very disappointing.


@me
20 years? When did Chris Ngige leave office. Hahaha 🤣. My people my people.

@jmoore
6 years is for substandard job.

A good road should last minimum 15 years.


@me
For naija? The roads are overburdened with heavy trucks. The cargo ought to have been carried by rail. Again heavy traffic hold-up add burden on the roads

@jmoore
The refineries in Egypt are working and there is subsidy in Egypt.


@me
I agree that this is a public forum therefore anyone can come up with any argument.

1. What is the size of consumption in Egypt?
2. What is the size of outlay in terms of subsidy
3. Is corruption so pronounced in Egypt as it is in Nigeria?
4. What killed manufacturing in Nigeria? Answer: you make more money importing than producing.
5. What killed the refineries? Answer: you make more money importing than refining - fx roundtriping, subsidy payment, etc.
6. In summary corruption killed the refineries and it will never come back so long as there's subsidy and special exchange rate.
7. Remove both and importation will no longer be attractive and the officials will want the refineries fixed.

Even with the least invasive option such as radiotherapy, care must be taken not to affect healthy surroundings cells. This is often the recommended first line of treatment. The radiation has to be guided by well calculated dosimetry parameters.
The above illustration is what they missed. They went with most drastic option,. Just for ego. Just to be seen as hitting the ground running!

@me
You're right here. I think that his problem was that he came with so much expectations. As politicians always do he wanted to impress. I'm hopeful that when the regime settles down things will begin to ease out gradually. I must state that it's a long run.

@sonnie10
They started on falsehood, no sincerity of purpose.
When they commissioned Dangote refinery that was not in any where ready, just to deceive Nigerians that they have a plan for subsidy removal, it was all games.
Actions have consequences. If they sincere, subsidy removal could have been in phases. Something like 25% at a time until we have functional refinery.
Now this, when Nigeria is still struggling with all the recent failed policies. It is an act of desperation, and hasty decisions often end up wrong.
Why can’t they wait for the first batch of locally refined product before attempting economic changes.


@me
The corruption around subsidy is huge and has been on for years. Any soft handling will not work. The refineries will not work so long as there is subsidy on imported petroleum products. The hand 👏 must be cut for the body to survive. That's the only way to treat cancer.

Unfortunately the ordinary people are suffering the effect of the collective rape of our common wealth by the political class and elites.

I just pity president tinubu. The mess in the Nigerian economy started towards the end of Jonathan's regime. This was principally because of corruption and the weakness of the president to control those he appointed.

This led to the alarm bell rang by okonjo-iweala. They did not arrest the situation. Unfortunately buhari did nothing but compounded the situation.

Tinubu inherited a messed up economy. He's not talking because he's protecting buhari and his party. He's battling against odds.

The good thing is that he's sound and he has sound people around him. When a patient is in a critical condition the doctors will try several drugs and modes of treatment and watch the effect on the patient. Finally they will get the most responsive mode. In the process the patient will feel several pains.

The doctor will be called names by the patient and his relations. I'm feeling the pains too.

What will anybody honestly criticise a government that inherited the Nigerian mess, less than three months, ministers not yet sworn in and broad policies not yet in full implementation?

FYI I'm an Ibo, professional, religious leader detribalised and apolitical.

@Ofunaofu
When we are yet to come out of the Naira redesign debacle, they want to plunge this country into another disastrous policy of Naira re-denomination

This is after they had removed subsidy from petrol, floated the Naira masking it as exchange rate unification which has further impoverished Nigerians thereby moving over 180 million Nigerians into multi dimensional poverty

From one policy somersault to another. From one disaster to another


[b]Honestly, e no go better for those who supported and voted for this current calamitous Tinubu APC government.


@me
Talk is cheap. Every idea rather than holistically xray it and throw suggestions, no it must be condemnation and condemnation.

Mr brilliant what is your suggestion. State it clearly and let us examine them.

@Ecos
Nothing


@me
Why do you accept to belong and live where there is nothing? Which means that you are nothing.

@Ecos
Which economy? Or are they joking?

As it stands now, Nigeria doesn't have economy .


@me
What does Nigeria have?

Wale Edu is a great guy. Cool as cucumber. I think party affiliation has taken Pat Utomi away. We need them all to rescue Nigeria. All the "A" team of president BAT.....Ben akabueze, yemi cardoso, relwane, Augusto, fashola, elrufai etc.

The situation is very challenging. We need a tested team with a tested leader. Not untested like the two challenging the election. We need leaders that we can judge by past results.

Sweet tongue and oratory ability doesn't solve economic problems. I'm an Ibo fyi but a cosmopolitan one.

Why the daddy go vex now. We no see anything now. That's how sports women use to dress. She did it at the spur of the moment.

No vex daddy we no see the real things.

E don begin dey pain KANU. He started it. We warned as enlightened Ibos that it was senseless and they wanted to swallow us.

Even those that are complaining now were clapping back then. Now the chicken has come home 🏠 to roast. Monsters are so easy to create but very difficult to tame.

Funny.....are you a baby?

Cele wedding 💒

Yeah.... very cool 🆒 and sweet.

@iCauseTrouble
This is the reason why Third class students in Nigeria go to UK, US and Canada and come out with First Class.


@me
Big lie.

Their floor is tiled so no big deal. Maybe the teacher wants it so.

Does this Norwegian understand that this guy is not circumsised? Let the guy off light when he wants to do.

@Dyfynezz12

How many jobs in Nigeria can pay u more than £125000


@me
You have forgotten that your rent alone takes £84,000 from there. Your monthly rent of £700 per flat is my rent per annum in naija.

@Racoon
Leave them make they continue to whine themselves. Corruption can never fight corruption. If anyone should do that, it must no be the balabloo-blu-bulava drug baron. It just got to be an unstained neutral person.


@me
Who is unstained among present day Nigerian politicians? If your answer is Peter Obi, you have scored F9. Every yash you open you must see shit. It's just that some yash carry more shit than others.

@Racoon
Any arrest, charge, prosecution and conviction of Godwin Emefiele without involving former president Buhari that solely appointed him to do all the dirty business over 8 years is just a charade and facade.

This will most obviously be another sensational media propaganda frenzy trial and whirlwind chase. They sat as a party watched Emefiele grossly abused his office using public funds to purchase APC presidential primary form without doing anything then suddenly turned around to shout corruption? Them dey ment.

Meanwhile why is the DSS yet to arrest Mahamod Yakubu to face investigation and criminal trial for financial and electoral criminality? Fingers crossed!


@me
You are funny. If you like when I appoint you as a professional and start to give you unprofessional instructions to execute, go ahead and execute them. When the hammer falls you will tell people that you acted on my instructions and I will remind you that you are a professional.

By virtue of your being a professional it is assumed that you should know more than me. If my instructions are unprofessional and if you care about your integrity and your name, you should resign.

What is attractive about map of the world 🌎 on a lady's bombom?

@Supremos
For those who will accuse me of posting fake news, go to Facebook and type Akwakuma, read posts and comments, it happened today.

Seun Mukina lend your voice to the terrorism going on in Alaigbo.

Obviously, we don't have president.

@me
You have a president my dear but you mobidly hate him. You hate the country where you
belong. If he takes action now you will say that he has sent Hausa/Fulani soldiers to finish Ibos. That he will be surmoned at the world court bla bla.

If you were in his shoes what would you do? See what we have done to ourselves. We warned when this was starting but we were insulted and called names.

I'm an Ibo like you but I can never relocate to igboland permanently. It's a shame. We don't know when it will end. We have created the monster. How can development take place?

@Reinaldo
Anambra is enjoying the good works of Peter Obi to date, producing such brilliant minds.


@me
Which Peter Obi? This is Lagos trained girl. Deeper life high school, mowe. Our people na wa.

Any bachelor up to 35 years is an advanced bachelor.

Come ooo...a lady of that age is is is an upper case spinster.

You are even talking of Yoruba and Hausa. Oti can never appoint any Ibo from another state no matter how competent the person might be.

Abia was calved from the old imo state. Some imo indegenes in the old imo civil service were sent to abia. Abia government sacked all of them.

We complain so much about how others hate us but we don't talk how we hate ourselves. We are not accommodating to our brothers and other tribes.

If we go to other people's environment we will like to dominate them but our hearts are not broad enough to welcome others. That's why other tribes don't settle in our area.

I have said it to some of our people that no group developes their place alone. You must make your place condusive for others to come in. This is lacking in igboland. Dangote can never invest in igboland. Oya attack me.
