Even the war ton north east is contributing more VAT than the south east, the second most industrialized region in the country.

Does their industries only exist on paper?
Do they not pay taxes as supposed to?
Where does their taxes go?

Update: He has been arrested and charged to court this morning

Now, I hope that he gets to face the full wrath of the law if found culpable.
This will serve as deterrent to others who may want to take after similar life style of lawlessness.

How glamorous is the gathering of the rich.
But, with heavy security detail mounting their back even in the Mosque, they appear to trust no one, not even their God.

Durability

Well, I may not have seen alot of these cars to form an accurate opinion on their durability. But I have actually seen innoson MarcoPolo being used since 2016 till date.

AguluLiar:
Tell your state governor to buy the substandard chinese vehicles.

It is mostly the elites in Nigeria that affords to buy cars brand new. But unfortunately, they only pride themselves in certain brands due to reasons that can't fairly be substantiated from most other brands.
Aside that, if innoson cars were available in second hand value, we will have more Nigerians picking them up as long as innoson makes parts available.

SmartyPants:
I support buying local to boost the economy, but these are operational vehicles meant for patrols in rugged environments. That's the appropriate vehicle for the terrain.

Talking about terrain ruggedity, I think the innoson brand strongly factor that in it's SUVs and Trucks line up too.

MasterTeeUSA:
Can Innoson meet the capacity of all the orders he has or has pending? I called Innoson about financing, and I was directed to banks like Access Bank. They should have a bank rep working for them that can process payments. Why can't Innoson market to Nigerians on monthly payments...make deposits, pay up for 80%, pick up vehicles or delivery, and balance up? That can appeal to Diaspora folks who visit home often. Even Nigerian celebrities can be given one or two to use ...they can work with Unions for direct debit for civil servants. They need to be more creative around payments and financing, and the business will blossom. Govt cannot increase Innoson's capacity. The money belongs in the private sector. Govt purchase is not sustainable.

Innoson also needs a car showcase in Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, Abuja, Kano, and major metropolises. Look at Obi Cubana with his Keke. Some will scream that no one is patronizing SE Innoson, but the business must upgrade and meet the times. Lobbying and political alignment help, too. It happens like this even in the West.

First, think of the innoson brand as if you were the owner.

With all the elements militating against factors of production such as epileptic electric power, insecurity, political uncertainty, inadequate or inefficient policy formulation, implementation and it's ineffectiveness etc, do you think it is possible to struggle to stay afloat and barely strive in a hostile business environment where manufacturing companies are shutting down or operating at an extremely odd pedestal that forcefully drive up the cost of finished products, yet, still doll out your hard earned finished product in the terms you highlighted above?

I think that would be a perfect recipe for closure.

The business environment has to be friendly first, in a way that enhances productivity and promotes competition so that more of innoson would spring up across the nation and trive, before the thought of 'own through loan' can suffice and hold water.

Good one.
Wike with his forceful imposition of Godfatherism, in the mud.

I see Toyota. Why not innoson?
Well, this should be extended to every state so as to boost the operational capacity of mobile policing in the nation at large.

It is possible that some politicians in the state make use of his lawless services during elections. Hence, his excesses are being tolerated.

@op, alias Okpebholo.

Correct those numbers.
Your figures from China to the USA are supposed to be in trillions.

Over confidence can sometimes land one in a precarious position.
Mr. Daniel Bwala should remember that Nigeria have been through this road before.

History was made in Nigeria when then sitting president, Goodluck Jonathan was defeated in a presidential poll where he sort a 2nd term reelection.

Those that fail to learn from history are bound to repeat it with damning consequences.

Celestialsword:
It all depends on the financial muzzle of the man, some men don't want their wife to work, they even place her on monthly salary and allowance.

The man want her to take full charge of the home front, including taking proper care of the children

When you share responsibilities with your wife, you will surely loose her respect for you as a husband.

If you know you don't have the resources to take care and run a home, you better remain single until you are strong financially.

I used to share the bolded part of your post until I realized that an idled mind is not just the devil's workshop, but the devil's factory where all sorts of manipulative doings and undoings are being manufactured.

I careless about her financial support and I could still place her on a monthly salary. But being moderately busy in a productive way is good and healthy for everyone in the home.

Reno always like to throw himself in the midst of every viral controversial discuss.

He is trying so hard to lower his standards to 'just another attention seeker '.

The houthis are now trying to bite more than they can chew.

@op,
Your figures from China to the USA are supposed to be in trillions.

@topic
Could it be that Nigeria has been importing this ghost commodity from Malta in massive volume consistently prior to when this inconsistent data started showing up and even reaching new high after dangote's claims of the Nigeria petroleum industry's involvement in petroleum blending plant in Malta?

One can't help but assume that it is possible that similar ghost and dataless commodities are being imported from other nations to the blank knowledge of Nigerians.

This highlight the question, how efficient and transparent is data capturing in the country?

Lithiumite:
I don't really care who is president whether xtians of Muslim,but I am bothered which region- north or south....you see that GEJ card you mentioned is being played to continue to destabilise the opposition......you can now see atiku brazenly coming out to declare is intentions and the obi camp would be quite impractical by supporting a northern candidate with him as vice when a GEJ is in there somewhere. ....this would leave obi with no choice than to go it alone again.

Ultimately,the opposition gets divided again and the man you love to hate goes ahead to win again.....in all, I know the political dynamics of this country would change after tinubu and many of these old timers would be relegated.

We just can't be sure of the qualitative characteristics of the next crop of politicians. Especially, without strong and independent institutions.

Our politicians behave themselves in abroad not because they can't act 'larger than life' like they do here. But because they know that there are strong institutions, effectively and efficiently working system.

Onewazobia:
This your sentiments will not work, Muslim Muslim 8yrs must be complicated.
We want it that way

Now, where is equity?

NOETHNICITY:
Only a fooooool talks about religion when politics is being discussed.

If you want religious clergyman as president go and bring your pastor and let’s test his popularity

Iddiots bringing religion when it doesn’t favor

I can't blame you.
You obviously can't talk while eating alone what was meant for everyone.

Macphenson:
You are pathetically delusional if you think the north will field a christian after Tinubu.

If you noticed, we are of the same view.

As the northern Muslims are trying to be smart enough to formulate political ideas for the south in their own interests.
Same way I think the christians should be smart enough to sum up some kind of fascinating permutations that will put pressure on the north to give support to a northern Christian for presidency.

Think about it, who wouldn't vote for a northern Christian after Tinubu's 2 terms except the same north?

At the end, it is called politics of regional interest.

iamtoofan:
It is quiet unfortunate mentality that stinks as these is flown aloud, whether xtain or muslim why should it matter, is governance about church or mosque,

now that we have muslim muslim, are the muslims living a better life than xtains, was ileya ram cheaper.

Atiku wants to talk about equity, what about NC that as never produce any president in the north or the south east that not produce any president since 1st republic

if we want to talk about equity nd fairness shouldnt these regions be on top of priority chart ... Atiku should go n sit, his greed and selfishness is why pdp is apart

It is known world over that:
Muslim love power,
Muslim love dominance,
Muslim love to claim.

Although, this is not to generalize. But can you please tell us what is the root cause of herders/farmers clashes that often result in destructions of lives and properties in this same country?

What about all the maiming and burning of villages perpetrated by this same religion?

Installation of traditional rulers across multiple regions of the nation that is not origin to that tribe/religion?

Do you not know why other states were so reluctant in giving out their lands for cattle ranches when the idea came up by the federal government of Buhari?

All of these news are all over the media for only God knows how long.
You may have chosen to over look these news when reported, because it is your people oppressing others.
But we noticed and wouldn't hesitate to act with caution when having anything to do with your people.

Who has provided any acceptable answers before to all the questions above?
I dare you to try if you can!

Sleekfingers:
What are the meaningful thing all these trash about christians and Muslim ticket bull craps has given Nigerians?
The problem of Nigeria is not the religion of president, but greed and cluelessness

Although you are right.
But i think it will amount to foolishness on ones path to look the other way in a docile faction, while some other people are busy playing a political card for dominance.

buckeyemedia:
With all due respect, a complete waste of time, Nobody I say, Nobody cann defeat APC & Tinubu in 2027.

Whether Tinubu can or cannot be defeated in the next poll is not the issue.

Tinubu will have atleast one Challenger in the next poll.
And the north is trying to unseat a southern Muslim with a southern Christian in the next poll. If that happens, Muslims would have been president for 12 consecutive years since Buhari, then slide in a Christian in Johnathan for just 4years, so as to have a fully north breeded Muslim president for the next 8years.
12years plus 8years will be 20years Muslim presidency with the christians tasting just 4years within that time.

Whether Tinubu gets to complete 2terms or Johnathan gets to unseat Tinubu for just 1term as president, either way, it will be a loss for the southern Christian.
And the Johnathan card will deliver the worse blow to South if you notice.

So, I will Support Tinubu presidency for 2term over Atiku or Johnathan.
This is the way to go as it will compel the north to field a northern Christian after Tinubu 2 terms to improve their chances of winning the presidency to the North.

Interesting times ahead in politics

NaijaRealtor:
You know this is politics, everybody twist narratives just to suit their needs.

There's no moral meter anywhere, just a bunch of greedy humans thirsty for money and power.

It is a good thing that Atiku does realized that the electoral power lies with the people.
And I feel that the people will take all of my highlighted points into consideration in deciding who gets to be the next president after Tinubu.

Any political party that is really serious about producing the next president will not field Atiku or a Muslim as flag bearer.
This will be a big political point that will count alot in deciding which party gets to produce the next president.

Maybe this is what some northern politicians envisaged, that they decided to float the idea of pushing a southern Christian in Goodluck Johnathan forward as a possible candidate that can unseat Tinubu who is also of southern extraction as president in the next poll, knowingly that Johnathan has only one tenure of 4years left constitutionally.
I see this as a political card that will shortchange the christians of the number of years for presidency.

In my opinion, I think Buhari and Tinubu have expended every chance available to Muslims in chosing the next president after Tinubu.

Atiku should know this, retire from contesting the next presidential elections and not waste his time and resources until after roughly another 12 - 16years time.

RealGandalf:
Atiku described this as inequitable, pointing out a significant disparity in the years of leadership shared between the North and South.

Leadership Disparity

In a statement issued by his media adviser, Paul Ibe, Atiku highlighted the imbalance:





Atiku's Push for Equity

Atiku questioned the fairness of this proposed arrangement, emphasizing the need for a balanced power-sharing structure between the North and South. He stated:



While calling for fairness, Atiku reminded Nigerians that ultimate power lies with the electorate:



Implications for 2027

Atiku's comments underline the ongoing debate over power rotation in Nigeria, a critical factor in the country’s political landscape. As the 2027 election approaches, discussions about equity, fairness, and leadership performance are likely to intensify.

Source: The Bureau Newspaper

What has Atiku said about the marathon Muslim to Muslim/Muslim presidents Nigeria is currently having.

From Buhari - Muslim, ruled for 8years to Tinubu - Muslim with 4years tenure in the bag and hoping to secure another 4years to make it 8years.

Buhari - Muslim - 8years plus Tinubu - Muslim - 8years, will be 16years of Muslim presidency.
Let's not forget that Tinubu currently running a Muslim Presidents and Muslim Vice.

Atiku is another Muslim hoping to succeed a Muslim in Tinubu.
If Atiku happen to succeed Tinubu, after completing two terms, will be 24years of simultaneous Muslim presidency.

For 24years, Christians would been successfully relegated to the background as far as presidency is concerned.

Does Atiku really stand for Equity he is preaching now?

I see Russia in the 9th position.
Dey play.

His self serving marathon race to aso rock is fruitless on arrival.

Toad style visit.

After all these years of destructions of lives and properties in his own country occasioned by "I no gree".
He has now gone on self mandated exile in a foreign country.

Freestainworld:
Judas' Iscariot have spoken, the seller of votes to the highest bidder.

Atleast, that one from Jerusalem abi judea had remorse at the end.

This one in Nigeria right now has zero remorse. So defiant and adamant.
His conscience hibernate in a hypersonic speed and his ears are quick to go deaf at pleas made by parties not in power.

INEC under Yakubu is the most corrupt government institution.
Subverting the will of the people, giving credence to irregularities, formulating excuses for electoral bottlenecks etc... Especially, to favour the side with the power.

Is Yakubu saying that all of these deficiencies persist in his agency because politicians switch parties regularly?

All I can say is that, at this point, we need the bold and visible strides of the current president more than the former.
