Pol002:
The government must move beyond mere rhetoric and propaganda and take decisive, sustained action to protect lives and property,”

Atiku wouldn't have done better. Bad leadership for so many years created it. A large part of the north is ungoverned - no government presence. These bad boys feast on such neglect. Little settlements scattered everywhere. Our security personnel can't cover them all.

Maxymilliano:
The national library will be named after her. That is the goal

What is special about this? Can you help us get someone that will help us fix ajaokuta steel and we will promise to name it after him.

Fiscus105:
If you aren't lack intelligence, you would have read the entire petition properly, perhaps you have comprehension issue, just like that guy said, you must defend your oppressors, because your tribe or religion people are in govt.

READ BELOW AND UPDATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

I have read what you reproduced here several times and I can't see any proof of evidence here. All that I saw are political statements.

I'm not from the same tribe with the person that you are accusing. There is no issue. Let's see how it pans out.

00FFT00:
The foregoing are your conjecture. Reproduce HE Peter Obi's statement verbatim for assessment.

It's clearly written here except the person that posted it is wrong.

Lamasta:
More evidence will be provided in Florida you can attend court proceedings when the case starts

The world is a global village. We will all watch it God spearing our lives. Please remind if he succeeds.

Lamasta:
He has written a petition against them in the USA where the issue is so what are you now insinuating calling it pettiness....

Your bolded is laughable, you think Sowore is a boy that don't know what he's doing

I didn't call it pettiness rather I called it emptiness. I reacted based on what he provided in public domain. The Sowore that we know will splash his evidence all over the social media if he has any. In any case remind me of how far he achieved his purpose.

Lamasta:
Your children's future resources has been embezzled but you are here trying to defend those that have been oppressing you, there children are not working but they already have mansions in there names but you with 190mb is here defending them

You guys lack intelligence because of politics. I wasn't defending anybody. I just pointed out the emptiness of what he is doing. If he wants an effort that will yield anything he should properly investigate his claim, gather enough evidence and petition to the Americans.

No court will help you prove your case. You have to prove your case with evidence.

00FFT00:
Leave propaganda, controvert wetin HE Peter Obi talk.

But he said that he did the same thing when he was governor. Why did he leave out upgrading of schools to donations for his birthday rather than use state funds? According to him what Mrs Tinubu is doing now was what he did when he was governor. What then is the sense in what he's saying?

MaziObinnaokija:
waste of time chasing shadow.What if the WIKED man tell them he borrowed the money/he sold him papa house in Nigeria to buy the FL property 🙄 😒? We are waiting

Don't mind busy body Sowore. This is not a petition. You said that someone bought a property worth a particular amount but you didn't provide evidence of fraud or corruption. Does he think that Americans are jobless that they will busy themselves trying to find out how Wike got the money when the petitioner didn't provide evidence of corruption. The courts don't help litigants to prove their cases.

Ezeama400:
You can’t succeed in China if you’re not business inclined..

Again, Chinese don’t even speak English..

US, Uk , Canada and Australia remain good destinations for people from commonwealth countries, unfortunately those countries are beginning to shut down their borders against immigrants …

Vote the right people and fix your country

No matter how you fix your country people will always migrate. Are Chinese not migrating?

richard870:
Sir, you deserve a chilled 'udeme' ...most people here aren't aware of his real intention

People are free to build their refinery. People are free to source fx and import. What Dangote is teaching everyone is that in business expect change, prepare for it and adjust to it. People have made fortune through subsidy and fuel importation. They believe that it will be like that forever. All the tank farm owners will have to think of alternative business. Why didn't their unions join resources to build medium sized refinery? No,. they only want quick wealth that don't provide jobs.

Lovelife433:
I'm a redeem member, I can categorically tell u that redeem has been high jack by church politics. Come to my parish in festac, the pastor have spent decades but they don't want to transfer him. Redeem church has lost her Glory na only eye service remain now.

Is the Pastor productive or not? Transfers sometimes are not done for doing sake. There's a parish in Ipaja, the pastor is rich, arrived the location as PIC Area. He's been there for over 25 years. His records are super. He has taken an area headquarters to provincial hqtrs. He's now the PICP. He has brought down every building and he said that he's building a cathedral. The parish runs four services on Sunday. The pastor is even a part time pastor.

Did the church gain or lose leaving him there for so long?

GanagiBitrus:
Yes, many will say they go to church to worship God & not man. But most worshippers tend to develop a likeness & attachment to whoever the pastor is, unless of course the past is incompetent.

In any case, whatever the reasons may be, 5 different pastors in year is not acceptable.

This is a fat lie. No RCCG province will change five pastors in the same parish within one year.

mrvitalis:
Do you know what GDP per capita means?

I don't know sir. Please teach me sir. Is Nigeria's own high relative to other nations?

One rule when discussing in a public forum is to always assume that the person that you are speaking to has high knowledge. If the person has none then it's safer. If the person has then you wouldn't have fooled yourself speaking shallowly because you assumed a low knowledge.

SarkinYarki:
Convert these figure to dollars and you will see they are decieving you...These clowns trigger the 10x devaluation and start bandying tissue paper values as progress ..Factor in devaluation and inflation and you will see this might be worse than every single month under Buhari or Jonathan

Mr converter please convert the amount to your favorite dollar and show in one month that the regimes that you mentioned earned above what is reported here.

mrvitalis:
Less than 1.5 billion dollars per month as a nation of 200 million people is shameful

It means that we are either not productive enough or our earnings are low or our population has a lot of unproductive component. A lot is honestly required to realign Nigeria and not politics of condemn all.

Ofunaofu:
Compare the naira value of the so-called largest-ever FAAC allocation today to what it was before Tinubu 'grabbed it, snatched it, and ran away with it,' and you will realize the enormous and monumental damage Tinubu has done to the economy of this nation.

Keep wailing. The state governors are happier than before. They couldn't execute projects before but they are doing them now. Some of them owed close to two years salary areas to workers but they are paying as and when due now.

So please go ahead and answer your yourself. In my life time this is the period that I have seen the worst type of politics and opposition in Nigeria. I hope that Nigerians will be wiser else we will make a terrible political mistake.

olaric:
I am struggling to believe this story...let the person involved name the church responsible for this.

I don't think that this is true. People these days put themselves in trouble by saying all manner of things against the church to excite the crowd.

Similar thing happened some years ago in RCCG. Remittance had been done for the month. When such report came up the supervising senior pastor directed the parish pastor to effect the refund. In fact this was the whole amount. The tither said that he's withdrawing wholly the whole amount and the refund was effected.

In my parish earlier this year a case similar to what is posted here took place. The same day I ordered that a cheque should be prepared, I signed it and it was handed over to the person.

I don't think that there's any serious church that would do what is posted here. Real financiers of the gospel are quiet, happy and harvest heavily from what they are doing. They are not the multitude that give peanut and make all kinds of noise.

omoredia:
If ibo man said this they will say his unpatriotic

The headline is wrong. It doesn't align with what Dangote said. People should read properly and posters should stop misleading headlines.

ambale:
Tinubu was obviously not prepared for his job

How can you declare that revenue target has been met when the nation hasn't even felt the goodness of the target

Now he will need to explain to us why things still slow like this

If you set a target on revenue and you achieve it , what is wrong in announcing it? Don't forget that your budget is deficit. Even if you earn above your budget the implication is that it will help you reduce your deficit. It doesn't give the luxury of reckless spending.

Obi sometimes in an attempt to sound as opposition and look good mocks himself. If there's provision for payment of pensioners it must be in the approved budget. Even if you earn double your target revenue you are not permitted by law to spend outside what is in the law. The best any president can do is to send a supplementary budget to the legislature.

Okhuadams:
Who post this thing no try anything less than 500 then you say naira is strengthen

In fx market fifty naira is a major amount. Meanwhile it is expected that naira should be hovering around 1,450 - 1,550. Any movement below will be major achievement and any movement above is a major red flag. If the movement is within the bound of #100 then it's a measure of stability.

PigTormentor:
They don't have a clue but they keep attracting investors? Govt job is not to create job, but to create an enabling environment that will attract investors and other businesses minded people. They must be doing something right.

Ogun is enjoying the Lagos effect. Lagos is full and the only state closest to Lagos is Ogun. Infact in some places there's hardly any difference between Lagos and Ogun.

PerfectStranger:
When competency fail,you result to blame games. Y'all can only fool Nigerians once not twice.

My greatest wish in the light of what people are saying now is that I wish that Obi had won the 2023 election. Nigerians would have seen how tough the country would have been. He wouldn't have the guts to take the type of tough decisions that PBAT took.

State governments couldn't pay salaries for over a year. FGN was borrowing to pay salaries. Contractors were being owed. Foreign airlines couldn't remit their tickets sales. There were backlogs of fx obligations. Crude oil not produced were being sold upfront to subsidize fx rate and petroleum products. FGN was printing naira without economic backing. Neutral experts knew where Nigeria was headed to.

People were making money abroad, bring it in through black market rate and use the high volume naira to buy cheap CBN dollar through connection. It was crazy 😧. You could bring in $1000 through black market and take out $1600 through CBN rate.

Kukutente23:
It doesn't make sense to support corrupt politicians but label marketers corrupt
All corruption in Nigeria starts from the politicians
Even the military were taught corruption by the politicians
No marketer benefited from the subsidy without the connivance of politicians yet you worship them and condemn marketers
How does that make sense

You think that everyone supports corrupt politicians. Corruption is corruption. It's a cancer. Whether it's by the politicians, marketers, civil servants or contractors. We are talking about a private sector investor that is helping the nation and corrupt private sector business men that are fighting him and you are bringing politics into it.

youngsahito:
Let us leave Dangote out of this lblame game and face out useless president and corrupt NNPC officials for not fixing the refineries after two years that the man yeye president has been in office. You removed fuel subsidy without any tangible plan to make our refineries working now we are at the mercy of Dangote to get cheap fuel. He no go ever better for all APC supporters and their balablu for Aso rock.

Refinery wey no dey work since OBJ days. You think say na Tinubu cause all naija problems?

phr0nesis:
If Tinubu and co had allowed Jonathan to remove it in 2014, we would have avoided this mess we currently in

Did people not argue against the subsidy removal when Tinubu announced it but he stood his ground even at the risk of losing his popularity. Why didn't Jonathan do so?

Kukutente23:
What about the jobs it will destroy
We know your plan is to kick independent marketers out of business

All these years we have been having independent marketers, how many jobs did they create? Were we not constantly having fuel scarcity? They were the ones that ripped this nation off through bogus fuel subsidy. Now Dangote has taken the sugar out of their mouth 👄 and they are crying 😭 and fighting back.

givedemwotowoto:
The usual suspects will try to claim credit as usual with something that is bad anywhere else in the world.

For the “upteenth” time let us state again that drop in inflation is as a result of reduced purchasing power of people. If people can’t buy products due to increased poverty and harsh economic environment, inflation will drop. This is not a good thing.

If this happened in the US or any developed country, there will be outrage if the government tries to claim credit for it.

You can’t claim credit on a on an economy that is not growing as it should be.

Are you saying that productivity is static?
This cannot be supported by the GDP growth rate.

What is your definition of an economy that is not growing as it should be bearing in mind where we are coming from?

Does empirical evidence not show that at the early stage of the reform if you buy a packet of biscuit today and go back in one week's time the price would have increased? Such is not applicable now.

Faber:
Every nation on this list is a manufacturing and exporting nation, their economy is doing well... The number of universities justify the high level development both human and otherwise...

The only Black sheep is Nigeria, with all these number of universities, zero discovery, invention and innovation. Our Universities are just breeding grounds for hook-up trade, yahoo and cultism...

Very shameful

Show us statistics of how "every nation on the list is manufacturing and doing well". Mr condemn everything Nigeria and you still remain in Nigeria. Clap for yourself.

DMerciful:
Other countries are progressive but Nigeria is rooted in tribalism!

What a shame of a country!

They didn't mind where he came from. They went for his qualities. If it had been in Nigeria people would have seen only his tribe and religion. They will remind us about how many people that have been appointed from his tribe.

Nigeria is the most difficult country to rule. Everything is centered on tribe and religion. Politicians exploit this to their advantage.

potbelly:
With all due respect sir,
Go into the street and make this same statement if you are so sure of yourself...

With all due respect sir:
Ask the civil servants that were owed 21 months salaries by various states whether they prefer that or now that their salaries are paid on time.

Ask the various contractors that were owed so much before now whether they prefer that or now that they are paid timely

Ask the foreign airlines that were owed backlog of their remittance with no hope of releasing them before PBAT whether they prefer that or now that the backlog has been cleared. Ask the average traveller what this meant.

Ask the citizens all over the country whether they prefer the terrible road or now that there is so much provision of infrastructure by federal and subnationals.

Ask the average economist the implications of forward sale of crude oil not yet extracted and now that it doesn't exist.

Ask the average economist implications of high and low foreign reserve.

Think deeply and you will understand that two of the biggest source of corruption in our economy is the subsidy on fx and petroleum products. This monster 💩 has been defeated.

Ask the average parents and students in the university whether they will prefer the old order of uncertainty in the completion of their studies due to lack of funds or the current certainty of completion and gradual repayment of loan after studies.

Ask the average economist the implications to the economy and business people when workers and contractors are paid timely.

All these happened in two years. You can imagine how it will be in another six years.

BuharisBoy:
The APC government is not 2 years old. It is actually 10 years old and counting. If there is any benchmark of growth or lack of it, it must be measured against the pre-2015 periods. Tinubu and Buhari are the co-owners of the APC and they brought this mess together. When they were busy blaming the 16 years of PDP without separating the golden tenures of Obasanjo and Yar'adua, they never thought they would stay this long and have a mediocre score card. We will also lump them together in their failures!

No problem. Therefore APC is 10 years. So let's wait for their 16 years before we compare.
