Nobody cares if Tinubu decide to borrow the country away or not, what people cares about is accountability. U can't be borrowing money in the name of the country to loot or share amongst ur party members and supporters.

Past government has been borrowing and people didn't complained this much because they let the country knows that most of the money the country was generating goes into subsidy to ease the life of the citizens and that's why they are borrowing. Even though we all know most of the money are been looted, people didn't complained much because they felt the good impact through subsidy.

But can same be said about Tinubu today? No, Tinubu has removed almost everything about subsidy in Nigeria and even widen the tax on citizens and have makes life a living hell for the commoners in the country, yet he has borrowed more than all the pass leaders put together and he is still keeps on borrowing.

A lot of products and services are still being subsidized in Nigeria. Typical examples are agricultural input products and electricity.

Subsidy of Petroleum Prodcuts will not be returned during Tinubu's government.

Borrowing finds to finance budget deficits and infrastructures and other targeted needs is a normal and standard practice in major countries around the world.

hahaha 🤣 lol 😂 thanks for the free comedy laughter

Maybe it is funny to you but I was doing comedy.

Bizibi:
can the government account for the 15 trillion they borrowed before...... please don't tell me the infrastructure bullcrap.

Every loan solicited by the government is often tied to particular projects and often received upon completion of milestones, hence released in tranches.

I don't work in the government - ministry of budgets, ministry of finance or information office.

You can get this information about utilization of loans by the government from such offices.

nairalanda1:
LOOL...

So long as our economy is based on the price of oil, borrowing is going to happen.

So long as tax to gdp is too low, borrowing is going to happen.

And so long as we refuse to fix the above 2, borrowing is going to happen.

Ye are free to call me APC supporter, I am free to keep telling you the honest truth, lol.

Dutch disease.

Honestly, you have briefly Justified government borrowings to fund budget to them but a lot of them don't understand the economics and it is even more embarrassing that a senator wouldn't educate himself or get more information about the subject before spewing all the rubbish statements from him.

About 99.5 countries run their government administration without direct borrowings, there are still other forms of borrowings that creates leverages but let me just simply say that there is hardly any country in the world that doesn't finance their budget with borrowings.

Fashola's situation with Tinubu is completely different from the situation between ElRufai and Tinubu.

Fashola is a product of Tinubu's grooming and political leadership. However, ElRufai was not groomed, led or exposed to politics by Tinubu. ElRufai was product of Obasanjo's leadership period, maybe schooled politically by someone or some other body, but brought to limelight under the Obasanjo's administration.

Fashola and Tinubu fell out especially towards the end of Fashola's first term and through the second term of Fashola as governor of Lagos state. The case was further complicated when Fashola became a minister, who took the place of Lagos, in Buhari's cabinet, without the recommendation of Lagos State government or power brokers of Lagos State.

Fashola was no longer loyal to Tinubu but he was also not Tinubu's enemy. He stayed aloof and played safe.

I am so sure that Fashola knew that he could not be in position of power under the government of Tinubu, though Tinubu can be unpredictable sometimes.

However, ElRufai is a bigot, he feels superior and pretends to be a statesman or bipartisan or refined or non-bigot or ethnic superiority complex driven person. A close look at ElRufai makes me see otherwise. He is a selfish politician like every other Nigerian politicians, including Tinubu. ElRufai was offered a ministerial appointment under the Tinubu administration but he declined simply because he wasn't offered a guaranteed a particular position. He wasn't even polite or respectful in his effort to turn it down he made a public drama of it to sensationalize his message and refused to show up for screening anyway. He started to be overly critical of the administration too soon and drew the enemy line.

Tinubu prioritizes loyalty and grassroots politics. When you have ever benefited or followed him and you became disloyal or betray him, at a point. The chances that he will forget or grant you that opportunity or more opportunity again is very slim.

Going partially off-grid does not mean you won't have a bad meter that records poorly compared to what it is supposed to. Stop painting it as "because you have solar", but focus on the issue discovered; Faulty Meter. Simply pay the charges and get a new energy meter.

Excuse me please, did you even read what he posted?

What kind of ridiculous contribution is this?

Enskynelson:
You got it right. Original LG Smart TVs use WebOS and never on Android. I run anytime I see LG Smart TV with Android OS.

LG is a good brand with quality products, their smart TVs run on "WebOS" operating system.

However, when you see LG that has Android OS, it indicates that the product is a copy, not originally produced by LG Corporation.

FineUsername:
Smart TV with WebOS is actually better than Samrt TV with android OS. That's the difference.

What makes it better?

WebOS is simply your preferred choice. Some other people prefer Android OS.

Duhhhhhh

OriOko88:
Good evening all,

I wanted to put my smart LG tv for sale so as to get a bigger inches tonight,so the potential buyer told me to do the video of the tv by operating it with the remote.

So after doing the video and he saw the tv displayed android on the screen,he said he doesn't have interest again that he wants only smart tv. So the argument started and I told him isn't smart tv and android the same? Since they both can connect to wifi to watch YouTube and Netflix and other o online apps,but he disagreed that he wants only smart tv, without telling me how to spot the difference in case of next time.

So pls experienced tech gurus how do one spot the difference between smart tv and android one, and what make them different?

It is obvious that the potential buyer that you referred is not informed or knowledgeable about Smart TVs.

You could also learn more by researching this information online.

Read this:

"An Android TV is a specific type of Smart TV that runs on Google's Android operating system, whereas a general Smart TV uses a brand-specific proprietary system.

Key Differences

Definition: Every Android TV is a Smart TV, but not every Smart TV is an Android TV. Standard Smart TVs run custom systems like Samsung’s Tizen, LG’s webOS, or Hisense's VIDAA."

- "Level 17 officer", and so? Is she the only level 17 civil servant/officer in Nigeria? So at your age you need the concept of conflict of interest explained to you? You lot deserves every leader you currently have in Nigeria.

- Peter Obi's wife was just recently made a subject of the election despite not being anywhere near una election or public office, yet you lots were busy wanking off on the value of her handbag. But the wife of an active APC politician can't be questioned about her position on INEC hierarchy? Corrupt people everywhere!

How is it conflict of interest?

Is her husband contesting an election that she presides or officiates?

The only organization that can claim or insinuate conflict of interest is INEC and if they saw no conflict of interest, there is none probable.

soccerlite:
Lolzzzzz 🤣

That's their strategy, always respond angrily when asked about integrity questions.

The same showumi was fmr Atiku Abubakar spokesman in 2019, collecting 800k salary though he wanted to deny it but his partner in crime reno cast him.

Now that bola has been sharing appointment to his lick spittle defenders, it's only fair his wife get director too

Ambassador post don finish

At least money go dey now to buy quality dye for his beards

What integrity question: that question was rude and mischievous.

Should Sowunmi's wife resign from civil service because her husband is close to the APC government or appointed onto an APC committee?

Doesn't she have her own career, that she developed over years and worked with devotion to build.

Why was the journalist trying to make it sound like she couldn't have gotten that promotion without undue influence.

olaNL:
Just because there is Secretary in the title does not mean it's a low position. He mention that she is level 17 in the civil service that she joined since doing her NYSC there.

I know of a government organization that the Secretary is the number 2 position and is given official car and house.

Don't mind that guy. They keep exhibiting their clueless and uninformed personalities.

The most superior officer, in civil service, in any ministry is a Permanent Secretary. This office is second to the Minister, who is often times not a civil servant but a political appointee of the President.

MarkNsukkaBread:
Where do they promote a person from Admin secretary to head of a unit if merit is the major yardstick for that elevation?

Excuse me: you are referring to a Level 17 officer who has several years of experience as an administrative officer.

Do you want to question her capacity to manage operations head or any unit head position for that matter?

iwaeda:
But the price of N1300 is not hurting Nigeria? Whereas exported fuel to Niger, Chad, cheaper than Nigeria. What Atiku is proffering is for refineries to get crude at subsidy rate, so the products can be cheaper for Nigeria use.

This will create more opportunities for smuggling of fuel to neighboring countries.

I thought Atiku was a Nigeria Custom officer, he should know that.

Food4Thought:
You don't compare Nigeria electoral system to that of US.
In Nigeria any candidate especially from the ruling party can win in an election due to the flawed Nigeria electoral system and a corrupt and partisan electoral umpire the INEC.
The judiciary is as rotten and smelling as a rotten egg. They dance to the tune of the ruling party and whoever is in power.
Tinubu didn't win 2023 election yet he was declared by the corrupt INEC chairman and worst still the judiciary endorsed the electoral fraud. And come 2027 they are preparing another round of rigging. In a developed clime where the system works a president like Tinubu will not be returned for a second term because he doesn't deserve it. But you and I know that Tinubu and his APC have perfected plans to rig the election and they have almost 100% chances to succeed because the Nigerian electorate are too docile as they will do nothing when the rigging happens.
Even Buhari didn't win in the election fair and square. There were irregularities here and there and worst still the North voted massively for him due to he was their tribe"s man and they share the same religion. They were blinded by tribe and religion. They couldn't see clearly because their sense of reasoning was beclouded by tribal and religious sentiments.
These things don't happen in the US as candidates are elected based on their good track records and performances.
Trump was returned by the US for the second time because the electorate did careful and proper assessment of his past administration and concluded that he did well and as such deserved to be returned.
In Nigeria the people don't decide who wins in an election rather it is the corrupt politicians who determine who wins and this is most unfortunate as it drags Nigeria backwards.
Conclusively,don't compare the Nigeria electoral system to that of US which is highly advanced.

So you mean that the USA🇺🇸 elections are perfect?

Please don't deviate from the main question:

What is Donald Trump's recent ( last 1 year) and current approval rating in the USA🇺🇸?

Food4Thought:
He has never done well and he was elected and re-elected as US president?
I repeat,you need to run a check on yourself.

Since when did becoming a president twice translate to performance?

Has Buhari done well in his 2 term of 8 years in office?

Has Tinubu done well in his first term?

Does that mean Tinubu will still not win the elections in 2027?

What is Donald Trump's recent ( last 1 year) and current approval rating in the USA🇺🇸?

Food4Thought:
When you hate a person even though he does well you disapprove the good he does.
Iran is being taken back to stone age.
Wake up bro.

What has Donald Trump done well?

israelmao:
This is not about right it is about control in a conflict situation.

What control? You want USA to control another country's resource, especially without the country's consent.

Isn't that ridiculous? Would USA allow another country to control her resources without her consent?

Food4Thought:
You think Trump or the US is stupid then you should have to run a check on yourself.
What Trump is doing is in the best interest of the US.
Trump is not stupid!
He is smarter than you think.

Donald Trump is the most ridiculous and stupid president of the USA in recent history.

israelmao:
But if CNN had reported that Iran has the larger control maybe you would have believe it?

In the first place, USA🇺🇸 has no right over the waters of the Hormuz. It is first national waters of Iran and Oman.

The strait of Hormuz is Iran and Oman territorial waters.

Food4Thought:
The US is using this method now in order to push Iran to submit to a lasting solution.
Trump is smarter than you think.

Really, stupidity beyond imagination has become "smart" to you.

Doncudox:
Iran is gone.

This is the begining of their end.

Enough of terrorizing the world.

Na you end Iran?

It is easy for you to sit in your tiny space on earth and declare an end to the oldest civilization in the world. The only civilization that comes close to Iran is Egypt.

How ridiculous of you to pronounce an end to such country, people and tradition.

This emphasizes the stupidity of Donald Trump himself.

Beautifulday:
The people you mentioned, did they tender higher institutions as their educational qualification?

No they didn't.

However, if anyone tendered higher institution certificate to INEC, there is no law that says the contestants must submit NYSC certificate.

If there is such law, please inform us here.

ruzell86:
The question is if Tinubu is a certificate forger or not.
Not the balderdash you put up there.

Please prove that he forged certificate?

Beautifulday:
It is a requirement for any form of employment in Nigeria including political post.

Stop displaying your ignorance to the world

It is funny when you are exhibiting a lot of ignorance yourself.

Did you read the Nigeria Electoral Act before you concluded that NYSC certificate is a requirement to be eligible for the job of a President of Nigeria?

Did Obasanjo have NYSC certificate?

Did Buhari have NYSC certificate?

It is not even about previous presidents: what is the position of the law with respect to academic requirements for eligibility for presidential election candidature.

agadez007:
Na me propose am

Thanks for being honest, this time. It is all in your head, mind or imagination.

mrvitalis:
The Biafra that declared independence is not the map you posted

It’s balyelsa ,rivers ,Akwa Ibom and cross river plus the 5 south east states. That’s obvious for anyone who want to school

Biafra captured Midwest never included them into Biafra rather set them free as an independent nation of their own

IPOB Biafra is different from ojukwu Biafra
IPOB are calling for unification of people they consider brothers

Igbos ,Akwa cross,ijaws ogoni, igodomigodo groups , idoma and igala people
They want them to be give a referendum to determine if east of them want To remain in Nigeria or form Biafra

You obviously haven’t taken your time to read about the topic

You are sounding more ridiculous.

Did the South South accept that they are Biafrans?

Did Edo, Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta, Cross River commit to Biafra?

When you said Biafra agitators under Ojukwu captured Midwest and set other Midwest States free as an independent nation. Does that mean Ojukwu and Biafra is not just about pulling out of Nigeria; doesn't that seem like the ultimate goal is to decapitate and disintegrate Nigeria?

What else would you have me read about Biafra. We read about Ojukwu's drama and we saw Nnamdi Kanu's drama - so what more. We know how it has played out so far.

Several states or people that you claim to be Biafra are saying that they are not Biafra but you are adamant and trying to force it on them.

agadez007:
You not believing it does not null Its existence
What is Igala,Warri,benin etc doing in your proposed Oduduwa republic,your people are quiet but feel like they are the mouth piece of others in Nigeria?

Who proposed the Oduduwa Republic?

agadez007:
Anybody with an Iq more than 10 digits knows that’s not an accurate map,Any body can make maps

Btw,below is the Official Map of Oduduwa including Lokoja and benin,Uromi,Warri and Even Igala and even some part of the North,why do Oduduawans want to annex these tribes?

Oduduwa Republic only exist in few people's dreams and imagination. It was never taken seriously by the federal and state governments and the Yoruba people. It was a failure from conception.

Unlike Biafra agitation that translated to a Civil war and bedevils Nigeria till date.

mrvitalis:
There is no proposed map of Biafra

There is only a map of areas to ask if they want to join Biafra or not

Those who agree will form Biafra there is no map of Biafra how can you have a map without referendum

Your position is quite ridiculous and unbelievable, at most.

So which Biafra declared independence during the Civil War?
