No time for self actualization

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Borrowing money at interest to defend the naira ?

Obi has shown with that statement that he is more interested in sustaining an unsustainable import based economy, since an artificially propped naira will benefit only importers like himself.

How sustainable is this?

How can an import based economy provide jobs and enhance local production ?

Will this not lead to more trade deficit and turn Nigeria to a dumping ground and stifle local industries? And in no due time see to dwindling of FX earnings ?


Someone rightly said here that Obi is not a businessman but a mere trader. He was right.

Another poster here once related how Shagari's govt on the urging of Alex Ekweme liberalised importation in the 80s by lifting the ban on importing certain products produced locally and how that dissatrous policy saw to many local companies struggling.

I have said it here that the SE business model of importation has done a lot of damage to our local industrial base.

This is the same Obi that has been telling us he wants to move Nigeria's economy from consumption to production but here he is now promoting more importation by defending the naira through borrowed FX?

Nigeria is the way it is, because people think that the world owes them a living.

For example, we want good light, good water, cheap food, cheap petrol, good railways, good roads, schools and unis that look like those in saner climes, and we want all that on a budget of less than 20 billion dollars us....where some of the saner climes spend 50 billion for health care alone.

70% of the country does not pay tax, 40% of the country does not pay for power bills and the rest mostly underpay, and petrol subsidy would need to eat two thirds of our budget if we had to pay for fuel at N100 per liter

And you think the same issues won't follow us into our new countries?

Developed countries made hard choices to get to where they are.

I understand you. But let me ask you: with the advantage of hindsight, who would you have preferred between Tinunu and atiku?

Obaaderemi2:
You clearly don't understand politics. Even in the western world there are spoilers who split votes and cause certain potential winners to lose at the polls.

JASONjnr:
Nothing can stop him anymore..... Dude was desperate for power and he did everything to get it .... You don't expect him to let it go the way GEJ did.

Even if the entire country refused to vote for him, INEC will still declare him a winner...

He's now the president... He has placed people at strategic places already to secure his next win.... Even tho he claimed he's not thinking of 2027 election yet, he's never going to tell the truth about his plans.

The desperate Tinubu just want to become a president....has nothing to offer.

EreluRoz:
Nigeria's problem is very big, these marketers are actually the ones killing the country.
If Obi hadn't read it's ugly head by causing big distraction in the last presidential election we won't be where we are today.

If you all want to remove asiwaju let a strong northerner come out and Obi should deputize him, that's the only out else asiwaju remains your president for eight years.

Rivers LG Poll: Voters Accuse Police Of Disrupting Results Collation In Port Harcourt.

Video
https://x.com/Teepee1_/status/1842553808095699362?t=RYYbs8nQK-yque6r2fXZ2A&s=19[/quote]Tinubu is not only rewriting the story that will be told about his people, he's actually entrenching a kind of lawlessness we have not seen since 1999. The way most of his people side with oppressors and retrogressive actions is a testament to this same fact. They have an erection at the mention of 'powerful men' like slaves, and criticise those who refuse to pander to oppressive tendencies. Well, one nation but different values. The SS and SE might just be the only regions of freeborns left in Nigeria. We choose our own fate.

jmoore:
Tinubu is a weapon fashioned against Nigeria.

famology:
Obaseki is not any better though.

kedeojo:
Nothing like that, that ethnic idiot who turn is station to propagate lies during campaigns last year. He may be looking for favour from the government and he need to reach Wike who is so close to Gbajamiala the chief of staff. Am not surprised cos most of thier people are like that. Obi was in same convoy with Shettima and he almost kneel down to greet him. They are the devil Obi and Arise tv make us to understand but romancing with them.

Sheerbliss:
Did the Governor conducted free and fair LG election?. The House of Assembly election was rigged in favor of PDP. The one that pained me was the Labour Party candidate in Egor LG. He won the election but election was declared inclusive and PDP rigged that election.

You can’t rigged and asked others not to rigged. It is only in Nigeria that a Governor or President will rigged election while in office but when he left office, He or she will turn to an activist of free and fair election.

DevilsEqual:
Its only sane to vote for APC...

Who would want Obaseki's protege to continue the shii the man started

Love all around

APC is coming to retake the headquarter of Obidients

PHIPEX:
This jobless cameleon again?

Whenever they are unable to find anything on Obi, they will go for those around his circles.

See the names of those who supposedly managed the fund, non is Igbo. Yet, these are the people who accused Obi of being tribalistic.

Obviously, anything Obi is and will remain their nightmare.

We are also waiting for Reno to push his own rubbish propaganda

BoogieBoogie:
Na wa This Election go peacefully so?

Emekaonline:
Hahaha. It is not difficult to spot the emergency lovers of Nigeria. Where were you when police were deployed during Peter Obi in Anambra? To your dude brain, Democracy was not in danger then? What a shame. Did you know that it's that bad then that oppositions politicians were not even allowed to campaign FREELY in Anambra? Go and ask your family that were old enough to know that even El Rufai was detained on the order of your Peter Obi. Please stop the bullshit and use your brain

Your fraudulent obi have no chance.

guobe:
Who are you voting for in the upcoming Governorship election and why.
We have the PDP led by Asue Ighodalo ,APC led by Senator Monday Okpebholo and the Labour Party led by Barr Olumide Akpata.
Is there anything these candidates who are the leading candidates can do for you to change your mind ?
Who are you voting for ? Nairaland poll .

numericalguy:
Obi's supporters are insignificant and hence the tribalistic bigoted monster called Obi was disgraced and will never be president
