That would be Abaribe

That is the only senator who speaks for the people.

Abaribe that almost lost the last election and quickly decamped to LP to ride on south east wave of that time. If he is that rated he should be capable of winning election irrespective of the party that he belongs to.

mrvitalis:
Judging a senator by projects shows poor education

Aberibe has done the job of representing and presenting the interest of his people perfectly that's what matters

You are sent there to represent your people and drag part of the national cake to your people. National cake could mean some many things. Mention the ones Mr forever senator Abaribe brought.

Kukutente23:
Quit the BS
We know why she attended
It's to counter the Christian persecution claims
I just hope they know what they are doing this time around because republicans are already aware of their lobbying efforts and they know all about Muslims being allowed to marry Christian women but not vice versa

So what is wrong about that?

RaptorX:
She went all the way to the US to attend the national prayer breakfast which normally is a local Washington DC event, even governors in the US don't leave their state to attend, but she flew all the way from Nigeria to DC to attend.

Do you know whether she traveled to states and decided to attend the event?

OneCandleAway:
I don't even consider all these RCCG pastors as real. Because their character doesn't reflect godliness

Go and sit down. Show us your character too and let us assess. How many RCCG pastors have you dealt with? Just a negligible number and you use it to judge millions of pastors.

HRTOFAKNG:
Lolz! Una never see house una dey make choices, ebe like say this Nigeria never still clear una for eye😀😀😀😀😀😃😃😃😃

Don't mind them. What are they bringing to the landlord's table? Landlord this, landlord that yet when you ask them to leave they will start crying 😭 and calling everyone to beg landlord. Abegy.....bad tenants everywhere.

Sonnobax15:

Good advice.

And also, any compound that a landlord lives in,avoid it.

And lest I forget,any compound that has a landlady is also a big red flag too.

But then again,a compound that belongs to a polygamous family,my brothers and sisters, don't ever consider renting such an apartment.

By the time you check all these and avoid them how many houses are available for you to rent?

AMINDA:
We are now bowing to imperialism and impoverishing our people just for a pat on the back from Bretton woods. No third world country will escape the poverty trap without home-grown and tailored policies that factor in their own peculiarities.

So your okonjo-iweala is part of the deceit group?

AMINDA:
Worldbank official? The desperation and quest to always seek validation from Worldbank and IMF would have been funny if it wasn't so pathetic. "Confessions of an Economic Hitman."

Your Obi said that infrastructure doesn't grow economy but experts are saying here that we have acute deficit. Doesn't it mean that Obi an economic illiterate?

LordBiden:
The best thing to do is to privatise it and that is why Nigeria needs Atiku Abubakar.

Atikus biggest dream is to have NNPC privatized and run like a business.
People say Atiku is a Big thief,but I see him as thief with good intentions for the country.

Atiku must not touch the sell of any state property. The ones he sold he sold them at give away prices to his friends that had no technical and financial capacity. A case in point is privatisation of old NEPA.

nexta007:
As long as he delivers, there's no trouble with that. A Governor who's state no longer depends solely in the National Grid is worthy of all the support necessary.

Na him build am? The complexity surrounding geometric power was resolved by who? Who liberalized the law to allow states or private companies to generate power and sell?

EyeCumInPeace:
The bulk stops at the table of FG.
They are the ones ultimately responsible for making policies that affect Nigerians.

It's their responsibility to identify the problem and profer solutions.

The FG is responsible for macroeconomic policies but the subnationals are responsible for microeconomic policies. So far the statistics show that the macroeconomy is improving but the complaints are that the impacts are not shown on the ordinary citizens . This is micro level. It means that the subnationals are not playing their part.

Moderator101:
Nigeria’s poverty is the consequence of a population that keeps empowering failure.

Nigerians repeatedly vote for corrupt, incompetent, spineless characters and then act surprised when the country sinks deeper into ruin.

How, Just how on earth can you elect a man widely branded a drug peddler and street-level thug as president.

We want you to tell us the credentials of your state government and the LG chairman. We want to check something.

mrvitalis:
Lmaooo once you See APC paid write up you just know

Nigeria GDP is not bigger than South Africa GDP we are 40% or more short off

Real GDP contribution is largely driven by population and not productivity

You know the painful part? APC guys know this but would still push the wrong narrative

Same when they started measuring GDP in PPP lol

Real GDP is driven by population? Who taught you economics? Go and collect your tuition back.

chicfarmer:
Nice explanation. Great perspective. Well done.

Very flawed explanation. He used United States as usual as example. Taxes there particularly vat are imposed by individual states according to their tax laws because they operate pure federation. In Nigeria we operate quasi-federation. Most tax laws excluding PIT but including vat are uniformly taxed by the center.

zinaunreal:
The naira did not react. The dollar dropped

You don't understand global finance. When your currency is allowed to float and there's no artificial manipulation then economic events around the world like we have with dollar will trigger reaction by your local currency. This is the way of modern global economy and it's the path that this government is leading Nigerian economy to.

It's different from the old archaic method that CBN arbitrarily fixes rates irrespective of what is happening in our economy and around the world.

Food4Thought:
If you dare decamp to APC then the Abians will roast you alive during the elections so make no mistake Oga. You can defect to any party but not APC.

Oti is APC in spirit. He has always been jagaban man before he became a governor and now that he is a governor.

zinaunreal:
Our economy has always reacted to rates and it was an extremely volatile reactor. This downward trend of the dollar has absolutely made not difference to our useless naira. Dollar spiralled down against most currencies

When you were arbitrarily fixing your exchange rate was it reacting to global movement?

zinaunreal:
Naira didn't appreciate, dollar weakened . No dey reason am 😆

It means that our economy has started to react to global economic events. Before now it was not so. It was armchair fixing of rates. Very archaic. Kudos to the monetary and fiscal authorities for their efforts to modernize our economy.

mrvitalis:
None of this roads was bad under PDP
PDP didn't build much roads but roads where mostly well maintained FIRMA was always on the roads doing repair works

Won't me to list roads that were good under PDP but became bad under APC? U want a list?

Owerri - Aba was good under PDP? That narrow road with a lot of potholes? You are talking to nwafor Owerri oooo. The road that they did less than one kilometer dualization from Naze junction and abandoned? Enugu to PH that was terrible. Leave politics and hatred ooo you can't compare APC and PDP when it comes to infrastructure.

wman:
So what did Bubari and APC achieve economic wise in the 12 years that you've spent in power?

The derailing started immediately OBJ left office. OBJ's reforms were not sustained because of those that took over from him and the fact that his reforms dealt with the surface and not the root. PBAT's reforms is dealing with the root that's why the pains are more but it will solve the structural problems.

AMINDA:
It's all borne out of low self-esteem. He always wants to be seen as the smartest in the room and that's not a quality of a good leader. Where are the likes of Fashola? It's the same reason why he dropped Elrufai. Wale Edun was also recently demoted for daring to speak to the facts. A good leader must be capable of taking constructive feedback from subordinates without feeling slighted. That was the Tinubu that was sold to us. Not this megalomaniac with only mandate standers around him.

You didn't pick where ndume said that Tinubu succeeded in Lagos. So you have never acknowledged this. Ndume wants Tinubu to pamper the North but Tinubu is the only politician in the south presently that the north can't push around. He's not like Obi that goes begging them for relevance with boreholes.

mrvitalis:
Please there is no road like this in this world

Aba -ikot ekpene road has absol no linke to Aba owerri road so please lie small small

Otti has already done Aba -ikot expene Abia axies

Aba to owerri road... Otti is working on Abia side to owerri nta
Hope Uzodinma is working from IMO airport to the Abia boundary both have nothing to do with tinubu

Make una lie small small na

The state governments will execute the projects under the supervision of FMW and claim refunds from the federal government. This is the rule. The south east supported PDP for sixteen years and these short roads could not be done. Anytime I drive on Enugu - PH expressway especially the Aba section I usually say APC thank you. Very solid and worthy.

They are federal roads. The state governments will execute them and claim refunds from federal government. This is the rule.

How is bursary student loan?
I went to school between 2012 to 2016 and my total school fees from year one to 500l wasn't upto 100k
I enjoyed bursary from my state govt which were totally free

Again how is bursary a loan?

Did I write there that bursary is same as loan? My friend calm down.

Love800:
I don't understand the bolded.

There's no system that approves all that applied. To confirm whether those that are genuinely qualified got approved you should look at the failure rate.

Failure rate = total applications less number of approvals = applications that failed.

Failure rate = failed applications divided by total applications × 100.

If the failure rate is high then it means that reasonable number of qualified applications were rejected.

omoredia:
U dont need to go to school to be literate.

Hahaha...... Why did you go to school to be literate?

Love800:
My friend who got graduated, told me of her hostel mates who seeked the funds but got nothing.
All of dem don already graduate last year. So they have probably forgotten about it.

AAU. Ekpoma.

Investigate and find out why. Is there any admission that all are admitted? What is the failure rate? This is the rational question to ask.

omoredia:
Starting life with debt is a satanic spiritual limitation. They same govt will steal ur money and will still use it to trap the people by using it as loans. Pure evil

So starting life with illiteracy because you can't pay to go to school is godly ba? This will promote lives abi?

OredoPikin2:
Can u tell me why this is a great initiative pls?

Can u tell me why I must seek a loan to go to school?
Instead of govt subsidizing education.
What happened to Awolowo free education initiative?
The next time anyone will tell me Tinubu is the Awolowo of our time, I will curse the person because they are completely opposite

Students loan has always been in Nigeria in years past. There was bursary years back. Students loan are also taken in developed economies. It allows access to education irrespective of your social status. If you don't need it others need it. Do you know what the help of monthly stipend of #20k mean to parents.

AMINDA:
Audio. But wouldn't he have approved it if the governor didn't decamp to the APC? This simply means the president is using our common patrimony selectively in such a way that will grant him unfair political advantage. It's a subtle abuse of office that is tending towards dictatorship. Governance should be separated from politics. This is no different from how Lucius Cornelius Sulla became the first dictator of Rome.

Nay..... from the days of NPN, PDP and now APC. Alignment with the center attracts more support than when you didn't. Parties use it to show what they have for their supporters. Your South East supported PDP for sixteen years but got nothing from them.

If a president is broad minded he will execute projects even in parts that didn't support him (as PBAT is during for the south east) but it's morally wrong to deny people the benefits of their support.

Osariemen12:
Of course, I would have appointed him a thousand and one times base on his record of transforming his state that no one knew about until he came on board.

Why was Donald Duke, former Cross River State governor not appointed minister of works by PDP after his sterling performance in his state.

You see....even if you are good you can be overlooked. You need someone who spots talent and believe in you to give you the opportunity. Umehi wasn't known nationally before now. He wasn't the only good state governor during his time but someone who believed in him and gave him his national breakthrough.
