Poverty South west get 11% of the allocation. The south east get 25%.
A need to change that since majority live south west. Need to increase south west aĺlocation to 25%.

While I may agree with the principle of injustice, meaning wrong is wrong and such must be condemned, people of the SW must not join others pointing begging bowls towards Abuja.

We are much better than that as Tinubu proved by doing the most developmental work in the post-colonial history of Lagos, after 1999, when the OBJ-led centre tried to literally starve and disenfranchise Lagos to death.

DAWN commission has given us the regional integration blueprint and we now need to work on that, and shun short-termism begging that others are obsessed with, to focus on wealth and prosperity we can gain independently, far more than any FG allocation can give us, to secure Western-style development for the SW.

FG allocation, based on crude income from the SS, is a poisoned chalice making Nigerians lazy, unproductive and beggarly.

Tinubu was the first Governor, post 1999, to realize this fact hence his obsession with making Lagos a self-sufficient State that can use her asset, human and material, to survive without FG allocation.

We need to spread that mentality and policy drives of Asiwaju to cover the SW and then, if we retain focus, we can even nominate to dash our FG allocation to other need regions in future. [Ab] That is how potentially rich, in terms of human and material endowment, the SW is. [/b]

Streetinvestor2:
How does this change the fact that majority in SW are transport union workers. That once you have that group on your side in SW.You will definitely become the next state governor. If doubt it we can start state by state in SW.The leader of the transport union worker is usually seen as god.I have been to all the state for first hand prove

My friend, you are clutching at straws. You mentioned "low life expectation" to smear Yorubas and the SW so I duly and factually showed you the people who typified that the most.

A people Kanu convinced to go around the world selling the lunatic tale that Buhari was dead and had been replaced by one Jubrin from Sudan. Una no get shame.

dapadawee:
If it were easy to rig Anambra, APC would have done that 2023. It's pain when the truth comes from one of your own against the lies one of your own propagate and feed obidient like you.

Absolutely. No man alive more self-deluding than our brethren from.the SE. They would rather label Soludo an Efulefu than defer to his technocratic analysis.

Nothing they hate more than the truth being told to them by their own. This is why they prefer lying hate preachers like Kanu who bamboozle a people of circa 40 million with rudimentary and nonsical lies that UN and Trump are about to ratify the birth of Biafra.

Virtually all Igbo leaders are behind Tinubu, because they are intelligent and exposed enough to see he is getting it right, while the riff raffs on the streets and Nairaland keep hating and ranting.

Alsenora:
Some of them with their beer parlor analysis claim to know more than the Governor who doubles as Prof. of Economics and a former CBN Governor. Lols...

Precisely. Soludo is a brilliant economist and accomplished technocrat whose analysis carry weight globally.

Unlike the Charlatan Beer brewer and petty trader, who was the worst Governor of Anambra since 1999, and now masquerading as Presidential material.

Streetinvestor2:
That is what you have majorly in a region many are transport union workers..They usually have very low life expectations. So when you give them stipends is all that is needed

Lol. "Low life expectation" would be typified by a people who, in their millions, abandoned their elected leaders to be doing the bidding of hate preachers, like Kanu and Ekpa, plus thousands of illiterate cultists killers, thugs, rapists, genocidal menaces etal.

You lot don't think before you rush to try and shade Yoruba land and Yoruba people when your land and people are a joke in comparison.

These are all spineless men who never liked Tinubu but got conquered by Tinubu

Lol. "Spineless" in Igbo man's parlance would be others you hate and feel must be fought to the death without understanding politics is about bridge-building and permanent interest.

Facts that many, but you lot, understand and have used to reach great political height. The same plays out worldwide.

You lot who don't do "spineless" individuals are where exactly in politics?

givedemwotowoto:
Not that he doesn’t like them, he likes them but he doesn’t respect them. If you try to do pass your power he’ll humble and loathe you.

If you are your own man, he’ll respect you and see it as a challenge to win you over. Once he does, respect is gone, you’ve been conquered.

Stick to analysing your simpleton messiah Obi. Below are many loyalist of PBAT decades ago. He took Aregbe from commissioner in Lagos to Governor of Osun.

Osinbajo went from AGF of Lagos, under Tinubu, all the way to VP. Ditto for so many others.

Your theory formula no balance. Tinubu always has target and 'missions'. If you can help with those then you are in with him regardless of If you were previously his most butt-kissing loyalist or worst enemy.

HEAVEN4444:
Think about it what is the adrenaline rush in having a butt kisser around you all the time ? And so tinubu is famed for hating butt kissers but once you oppose him then he sees that as a mission to conquer you. He only likes people who oppose him. If you are a sycophantic weirdo butt kissing pirate he hates it deep down but when you try to crush him he loves it. It's a challenge for him and he will make sure he crushes you with that Pandora's gift. Look at Reno ? Conquered. Now he is conferring honors on shehu sanni and falana two guys who like throwing jabs at him, . Many cases like this. Daniel bwala etc. all conquered. Tinubu enjoys turning opposers to butt kissers . But to just come straight off the start as a butt kisser ? He hates that. But as a conquered butt kisser ? He likes that

Amateurish psychological evaluation that fails the test of critical analysis. What of the many sworn and loyal affiliates of Tinubu of decades he has elevated and continued to elevate like Gbaja, MC Oluomo, Obasa who began following Tinubu as a teenager, Hamzat, Sanwo-Olu and literally thousands of others?

Oga park well. Tinubu is not a predictable simpleton, like Obi, anyone can read easily.

His main driving force is that he must see meritorious value in an individual be you his subservient loyalist unforgiving critic or sworn enemy.

People from the SE are so uncouth and pugnaciously offensive.

What warrants this transgender discrimination attack from Okonkwo against Eno when, as the Governor says, he is not from Akwa Ibom to be so vociferously and vehemently vocal about the political decision of the State's Governor?

Na wa for these intollerant, bullying and ungracious people and total lack of respect for boundaries as if they own others their land and even free will.

ibechris:
If he was ur father,would u be happy?

For not committing any crime.

Abeg make we hear word.

People like you must always find a reason to be unhappy even if there is nothing to be unhappy or displeased about.

Is the posthumous recogntion for the Ogoni 9 not President Tinubu's acknowledgement that are not guilty of "committing any crime"?

Abi you want him to magically bring them back to life to please those who can never be appeased , like you and your kinsmen whereas most normal folks will concede that PBAT, unlike others before him, has done the possible best by the the Ogoni 9?

Na una way sha so I am not surprised by your needless bitterness and disinterest in giving credit to whom it is due. I.e PBAT.

muykem:
This is call nation healing. Stop crying .

Don't mind them. Always miserable and wallowing in doom and gloom.

Obvious some Nairalanders will never have wives, husband, girlfriends, boyfriends and even friends because they are miserable soul.

Meaning they are human beings others will prefer to avoid.

ALTERNATEID:
Apart from Margarett Ekpo and Frank Kokori, all the names you mentioned are on the list of those honored by Mr. President.

Frank Kokori was posthumously honoured Sir. I watched Mr.President's speech live. See full list below. Frank Kokori is number eleven on the list. May he continue to rest in peace.

Mightyhaiz:
Cleaning and restoring ogoni would be a better honor

What is the NDDC and the Tinubu newly created SSDC meant to do if not what you request? Please think before you rush to post hastily out of bitterness and hatred for others.

Tinubu has tried, as no previous President has, for all region with all geo-political blocs of Nigeria now having development commission the FG is funding to operate.

Lithiumite:
Those obidients would always have something to complain about.....many don't even know the heroics of these guys or the ogoni struggle.....also Mariam abacha should come explain to us why her husband killed them.....I hate rubbish.

Truly painful what Abacha, a very wicked and evil man, did to these men who are heroes fighting for equity that some did not believe in then and still do not believe in today. I will not mention names but we know them.

They are gathering today, forming a coalition of opportunism, to try and grab what they feel belongs to them by birthright.

Wonderful posthumous recognition for heroes some maligned as treasonous villains. Wonderful too that Falana, who fought valiantly against the execution of Ken Saro Wiwa and others, was also conferred with a national honour same time as the Ogoni 9.

anonimi:
How does it feel to be violated constantly by the person who rescues you from kidnappers?

Is that a form of Stockholm syndrome?

Abeg carry your wahala go. Don't have time for your toxic and bitter rants on democracy day.

Ebeano49:
Another giveaway to his Yoruba kinsmen and women. Anthony Enahoro, Dan Suleiman, Balarabe Musa, Bagauda Kaltho, Ndubuisi Kanu, Margaret Ekpo, Frank Kokori, Alfred Rewane, and many others fought hard for this democracy but he chose to reward only his kinsmen, and Sani who recently declared support for his 2027 ambition.

BAT is bad for Nigeria!

Desist from this blind, wicked and evil hatred of others. It will bring you nothing but the wrath of God, karma or whatever spiritual higher power or essence you believe in.

How can you hate to the extent you speak blindly and with wicked lies against others merely because you are obsessed always with demonizing those you hate malevolently?

Most of the names you claimed Tinubu ignored "to reward only his kinsmen" were conferred with national honour and many more even that are not PBAT's kinsmen.

What manner of hate rules the heart of you people from the SE that you cannot even do a few minutes of research before you rush online to lie against others?

ZACHIE:
Pardoning Ken Saro Wíwà and conferring national honours on him and the Ogoni9 is quite thoughtful

Bro head swell sef with pride listening to Tinubu today. Sharp brain he used to do justice to all deserving Nigerians from all ethnic groups.

The consideration for the Ogoni 9 was wonderful and special. They were unjustly persecuted by unjust military dictators in a very unjust time in Nigeria's history.

I was especially please Frank Kokori deservedly recieved a posthumous national honour.

May he continue to rest in peace especially as he is vindicated today about Tinubu's bravery and will to tackle the biggest monsters on behalf of Nigeria and Nigerians.

Twemi:
This people are not yet serious at all. Why don’t you look for a younger duo and simply support and campaign for them

This has nothing to do with age. How old was Sowore when he first contested to be President to then lose to Buhari who was decades older than him then?

The truth is that Nigerians are mentally constrained. They have people they view as Presidential and those they don't.

The Nigerian electorate is one with a lot of idiosyncrasies that makes it unpredictable and unlike others worldwide.

Streetinvestor2:
Nothing must happen to obi between now and 2027.Obi is the biggest threat to SW president and his gang for 2027.It is now very obvious to us all.The SE will never accept it.The SE will hold the region responsible and go for thr own pound of flesh simply. THe SE have never been region of coward since the creation of nigeria.

We repeat nothing must happen to obi with this level of SW president desperation for 2027 with the rate of propaganda towards obi daily. We know obi has made them start election campaign less than 2 years of thr stolen mandate.

I know your sort have been brainwashed from the womb to hate Yorubas but watch how so many from the North, SS and Middle Belt (North Central) will show you 2027 is about keeping the best President in power and not "SW President".

Factcheck0001:
The same team even Buhari defeated hands down when PDP was intact!!!


Just Dey play

Lol. Desperation na bastard bro. Leave them to be daydreaming. Tinubu out of office, defeated the most powerful political titans, including the Presidency, to clinch APC ticket.

Ironically, he clinched the APC presidential ticket with the help of many Northerners as a benevolent patriarch cashing in on his elevation, support and mentorship of others who were eager to return the favour.

Is it now, Tinubu is President and wielding ultimate executive power, that same enterprising, supremely innovative, politically superior and focused Jagaban will fail when he had won while unfancied by the most powerful in his own APC party ?

Musrataman:
So of what value are they to Nigeria, when they don't even understand what causes the absence of outsiders in their land.

They are a people totally incapable of introspecting to note whether the problem lies with them and not others.

This is what the gentleman posing the question was insinuating.

The responses from then so far on this thread, in general, shows they validate the opinion other have of them which is that they are the problem yet keep playing victim and deflecting blame to others.

To me, Igbos are valuable to Nigeria, as all other are, but we must evolve a system that will curb the greater "excess" and "baggage" some, like Igbos, naturally have, as second nature, from harming other Nigerians.

Despite living in an information age, we are not as attentively studious as our forebears were.

Forebears like Awolowo who saw the covetous, expansionist and usurping character of Igbos to then deliberately move to politically check such from overunning the SW.

Why Azikiwe and co felt the conquest of the SW was their ultimate mission is a question that must be posed to Igbos.

Militarily also, the excess of Kaduna Nzeogwu, Ironsi and Ojukwu were similarly checked.

We must ask the real mission of the "Igbo coup", Ironsi's desperate and quick declaration of the unification decree and the real agenda of Ojukwu etal that prompted action they knew was a declarations of war against Nigeria.

Bottom line is that we know each other. Let's evolve a system, I.e full regional autonomy, that will ensure we don't continue getting in each others way to the detriment of Nigeria as has always been our reality.

Obi the Agulu gbajue is always on the wrong side of history like Azikiwe, Ojukwu, Ironsi, Kaduna Nzeogwu and many of his forefathers.

He joined, worked for and defended Abacha passionately while most Nigerians wanted the horrible dictator gone.

Today he has similarly joined a nebulous coalition of disgruntled elements and enemies of progress , frustrated to be out of power and incapable of controlling the cash and asset of Nigeria, on another doomed "gang up" mission.

Good luck to Peter Obi because 2027 will either be his political Obi (lol) or salvation. I know which it is for sure bit I don't want to ruin the rest of the week for Obidients 😎

Lol. Obi is not called Agulu "Gbajue" for nothing na.

givedemwotowoto:
APC is known for propaganda so anything they say should not be trusted. In any case, whether it's 30km or 20km or whatever, it's a distraction from the real issues, and Nigerians reject any attempt to distract them from correcting the mistake of 2023

Lol. King of haters, you still show face? Your master and chief cheerleaders in hate, Arise TV, have commended Reno. Yet your own hating no get part 2. I will pray for you.

Reno used meter guage for the trip na... With many TV correspondences including Arise TV 😂

Why Una life just be laidis for that Una Obidient group? 😂

Bruv, haters can't help themselves. They are failures and losers whose automatic reaction is to hate on winners and good news/progress for others.

helinues:
Stop living in the past. Reno went to the project site just yesterday to do a new video

Stop wasting your own time Helinues. This is not opposition politics anymore. It is just hating. Reno proved his point exhaustively.

An Arise tv member was part of the crew that accompanied Omokri on the verification exercise and Arise has even publicly praised Reno as correct. Case closed.

Yet haters are still hating online and on Nairaland.
We all know how haters behave because haters and hating are popular concept in the social media age.

I.e the reality of how bitter, losing, broke, unfortunate, charismaless and failed people automatically hate on successful, suave, attractive and winning folks getting on with their beautiful, happy, rich and fulfilled lives visible to all on social media.

The facts has been established by Omokri but "haters gon hate". Simple as that. If you're not a loser , enemy of progress and hater then thank God for your life and pity those who are because they are in pain 24/7 year in and year out.

A songs that made Taylor Swift one of the biggest and richest music star on Earth was dedicated to haters.

The world fell in love with that song because everybody know how loathsome haters are and they appreciated how Swift advised them what to do with haters and hating. I.e "shake it off".

Wike always talks about this, regularly singing "as e dey pain dem e dey sweet us", and Tinubu did too yesterday because they accept this is the reality of modern life where we now don't just hear of people doing great but we see it.

Players and winners, like Tinubu and Wike, are gonna play while haters and losers, like Obi and Atiku plus Obidients and Atikulators, are gonna hate.

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off (whoo-hoo-hoo)

kabillion:
How do you even float the naira gradually? Is it possible?

No is the simple answer.

DeOTR:
Only a braindead will have problems with this explanation. Like Sanusi rightly said, Nigeria have been living a fake life.

Absolutely bro !!! I am not even an economist yet I am progressive enough and genuinely desirous of a Nigeria that will be as great as the many nations I have had the privilege to experience first-hand, to the extent I have read and researched extensively to gain knowledge that will allow me understand the problem and then discern the obvious solutions.

Solutions would always become apparent, as would always be the case, if one fully understands the cause of the problem to begin with.

This knowledge make me confident I can stand before any expert, because the issue to be discussed is not Rocket Science anyway, and make a coherent case for why subsidies in the petrol, education, electricity currency and even religious tourism sectors etal are directly detrimental to the growth and development of Nigeria.

The subsidies for fuel and the Naira, in particular, are glorified and self-destructive scams a rapacious and ruthless gang of opportunists wish to keep using thereby forever retrenching an ultra-promising and blessed nation to the level of Somalia while they keep swimming in billions they and their family cannot exhaust in 10 lifetimes.

Na this small boy wan begin teach obi economics now

Lol. Specialist knowledge and natural intellect is defined by age?

How old was Zuckeberg when he became a billionaire whereas some in their 60s, in same sector as him, are yet to have 100k dollars in their life saving account?

grandstar:
Yes, it did.

When Tinubu entered office, there was only $3bn in net foreign foriegn reserves. That is the actual amount the CBN has at its disposal.

However, the CBN owed buyers of forex $7bn. There was severe forex scarcity and that's why Shoprite, Emirates airlines and other multinationals were leaving the country.

Today, the net foreign reserves has hit $23bn. So, the floating of the Naira has been a successful.

Precisely and I made same point above. Previously, forex was hoarded, through use of political power controlling the CBN, to be sold highly lucratively on the black market.

Thus denying those who truly need forex, for activities that will be socio-economically beneficial for our nation, what they want while saboteurs cash out hideously.

We were killing ourselves, as a nation and people, under previous Presidents who knew what was going on and either became accomplices of the act of national.sabotage or feebly turned and looked the other way.

Not PBAT. Baba gat to go there sha.
