But he is still borrowing.

Look, boys and girls, a lot of you people will come here to call me taxman, agbero, etc....but the hard truth is, so long as our budget is 80% reliant on monies from oil, we will borrow, and borrow more, and borrow, until we learn how to run our economy and government properly and face hard truths.

The budget for this year was based on the idea that oil prices will remain at least at 75 dollars per barrel. AND EVEN THEN...the government had to borrow 13 bn dollars extra. That is at Jan 1 2025. Since then, oil has fallen, and will keep falling this year. It is now at 60 dollars per barrel and has even been at 59 dollars per barrel. And it is going to keep falling. And here is a scary fact, we need oil to be at 130-39 dollars per barrel before we can say we got enough money...so even with all that, we are broke. AND THE ANNOYING THING...is that stealing is still in progress eg the budget padding happened this year as usual.

(Oh, and for agbadorians, that is why GEJ borrowed. Despite oil prices being high under his government, for the most part they did not 130 dollars per barrel).

But, forgetting corruption, oil prices have fallen far below the benchmark, that if Nigeria does not borrow, the government won;t be able to pay nothing, nada,zilch in salaries, contracts, etc. Which means people would be out of money and out of luck.

That is why, since we got independent, we should have gone industrial...but no. All of you calling for army rule...the times we have had army rule, none of them did the needful and improved industrial development. We have never had a general park type ruler.And we never will because of our oil dependent narrative.

Tinubu should have raised money by raising our tax to gdp ratio, raising income from alternative means, and by actually fighting corruption, and also by encouraging diversification. (I don't want to hear any it takes time to do things). And he should have removed power subsides as well....so that the sector can grow. And he should have started all this on June 1 2023.

Manufactured goods and services. Dutch disease.

Oil is a CURSE.

Interesting thought, unfortunately most of our political office holders are not cerebral enough to appreciate this line of thought, they are mostly merchantile in nature and transactional in their dealings, both recipe for disaster for a nation struggling for identity

SatoshiX:
Propaganda has an expiry date. Can someone post the current condition of this road as at today so that those not in Aba will know it's all Iies and the road has been washed away after few month.

Guess your wish is that the rehabilitation fails, in order to fullfil your bigot motivated dislike for a region. Never bad to wish others well when something good happens to them

Samantha125:
If you want to be responsible with your money, that's totally fine with me, but if I come home the following day with shopping bags, don't ask me where I got the money from the same way I won't ask you about your finances.

And if I tell you that I'm going on a girls vacation, don't ask me who's paying for the vacation... Just watch and go ahead and do you while I do me.

You live for shopping bags I guess, so go ahead and fill as many you possibly can, so long as I have my peace and my exclusive garden remains exclusive

cocolacec:
Business don land for Biafrans.

This na major client, any idea how I can be his supplier

FreeStuffsNG:


I am not sure your point is relevant if you're familiar with the strategic advantages Yemen has that is not even the drones but its rugged mountainous terrains and the iron-clad backing of Iran.

If you want to turn your people to Houthis, you need to first have your own country like the Houthis and to get an Iran to back you and huge mountain terrains that you can build long tunnel under. Yemen is Houthis and Houthis is Yemen. Nigeria is Nigeria so you are comparing apples and oranges.

That you have drones doesn't translate into reason to jump into war or insurrection.

Any Nigerian or part of Nigeria that foolishly embark on insurrection will be bombed like hell!

Pray no part of Nigeria embarks on insurrection , cause there won't be anyone to do your bombing to hell

davillian:

Expressing pride in the citizenship of other nations tells me all I need to know about where Nigeria is at the moment

Hoelujohn:

Tinubu will use INEC in a way never seen before. Just watch out.

And Nigeria will most likely experience what it has not experienced before

Does anyone know how I can be added to the WhatsApp group, a handsome reward awaits

Hope something good comes out of this for players in Nigeria

God1000:
The double standard is mind boggling. This is how democracy dies and dictatorship is born

If Obama did any of this, it would be a different outcome, and much more outrage, reason being that he's a black man, the same africans worshipping Donald trump today would have labelled him a typical blackman.

8 good years in office without a single scandal


The hatred and racism is real in America

What makes Obama a black man. Folks like me see him as an individual with mixed parentage. In other words,once white gene comes in with the black gene it's purity becomes diluted that it can no longer be considered to be white

Zonefree:

Lol

When you're still on earth? I can't leave you here na.

Na lie, you abandoned him, just like Ashake 's mother did. Now you want to come back because..............., I don't really know why, a beg tell us

MadPolitician:

I have to do what I have to do

keep on doing what you gat to do. i.e keep on sipping the poison called tribalism , hoping it kills your perceived enemies (igbos I presume?).

beerfraud:
we warned you

And thou shall continue warning

beerfraud:
your crying is our motivation

motivated by someone else's misery, wow. That's for lowlifes with no inner essence. Said my piece and I am out

AbuTwins:
Abeg which Prophecy is the culprit fulfilling?

Jesus fasted 40days and never told anyone to fast 40days! Daddy GO asked his children to fast 100days, wetin concern you wey no be hin children?

He's not supposed to be released!

Some Boys Make Fun of Elisha
Elisha went from that city to Bethel. He was walking up the hill to the city, and some boys were coming down out of the city. They began making fun of him. They said, “Go away, you bald-headed man! Go away, you bald-headed man!”

Elisha looked back and saw them. He asked the Lord to cause bad things to happen to them. Then two bears came out of the forest and attacked the boys. There were 42 boys ripped apart by the bears. Kings 2:23-25

And you are absolutely convinced that God sanctioned the death of 42 boys for that. I believe in God, but not this one you are referring to

Omoawoke:


So you think it requires a female judge to deal with a rapist
There are many men out there who hate rapists with ion because they are humans and have females in their families too

I won’t hesitate to sentence this guy to death by firing squad if I have the opportunity

Would rather castrate the fellow, that way he'll be alive seeing pvssy flying around him, and his rod won't do jack. That's mental prison, ain't nothing worse than that

ceejay80s:
I wonder how that boy missed that assassination attempt?

God, hope you get my drift

Namaster:
People who condemn the pastor and asked "why the girl needs pepple to forgive her" or to "show grace" and all the other drudgery are MYOPIC.

This is the WHOLE point of a church:
A community of people who hold each other to CLEARLY-DEFINED standards of virtues and morals.

ability is PARAMOUNT!

You don't attend EVERY Sunday and Midweek service just to end up as a SINGLE MOTHER.

You'd be a DISGRACE to the entire congregation.

That means you have LIED and DECEIVED them by PRETENDING to uphold their set standards while in church just to be FUCCKING like a porrnstar outside the church.

That's HYPOCRISY!

SHAME and STIGMA are effective tools for societal cohesion.

When someone misbehaves, SHAME them in punlic.

In fact, the Pastor was TOO lenient.
Were I in his position, she'd be EXCOMMUNICATED immediately after the apology.

The FAKE tears are so annoying.

She's getting ready to bring another FATHERLESS black child into the world.
What did she expect?
Praise?

She should count her blessings that she was only asked to apologise and NOT cast out as a PARIAH.

The anger I feel in this post is not Christlike, some of the people she's apologizing to have been pregnant and terminated it. If she had done same, she will continue in the hypocrisy of congregational validation which won't take her to heaven. What's wrong with private counseling sessions with the pastor with regard to helping her be better than she is. If we all have to seek forgiveness publicly in church, church service no go ever end, because sin plenty, and all man de inside, including the chief acc Pastor Jackson

zero8zero:

Federal medical centers across the six geopolitical regions were upgraded last year.

Na you upgrade dem?, and if so why can't the generals patronise them for their health needs

Infotubia9ja:


Them go write exam before dem go give them permission to dey practice medicine or treat patientsfor the abroad YES or NO

Guy, step down from your high horse and accept corrections given to you. Arguing further gives one an impression that you are really............ Said my piece and I am out

etrouble:


They don’t like speaking English in the public because French, Italian and Chinese Presidents don’t also.

Now the people that you thought will not make it are now leading you because only our Father in Heaven gives Wealth and appoint Leaders

Please leave God out of the madness going on in Nigeria, we choose our leaders based on our warped sentiments

CJStarz:


But that's the truth.
Take away Aba, Abia state crumbles economically.

Now let me shock you!
I am not from Abia state hence my unbiased assessment and submission.

Have a great day.

ABA is what it is, not because of Ngwa people, but because of it's location and value to the British colonial istration, and Abia state is fortunate to benefit from that legacy. It is therefore unfortunate that this should be used as discriminatory bragging rights, instead of further enhancing it's capacity to maximize the potentials in other parts of the state and Nigeria

CJStarz:
This shows how pivotal the entirety of Ngwa land is to the development of Abia state, yet these guys look down on them.
Let Otti go and set up the airport in his native Arochukwu or any community among d Ogboo people and see if a mosquito will patronize it

Take away Aba, may, Ngwa land from Abia state and see the state crumble economically.

So disappointed knowing an igbo man from Abia state actually thinks this way.

You might feel justified not going beyond your current level of assistance to your Dad, trust me, you'll regret not doing more if you could afford to, when he dies, been in your shoe. My advice is, do all you can for him, you'll feel better that way home

RandDigital:


Nigerian hunger levels are beginning to worry us in SA that you'll start eating our cats and dogs ☹️☹️☹️.

Guy, chill , getting boring going through your repeated narrative about hunger in Nigeria, seems you are intellectually limited. Ignorance provides the ingredient for primordial hate and envy to thrive on. Said my piece, and I am out.

ShescreamEWOOO:
Though from her public display and utterances you will know shes bullish and unrefined.

But when you see staffs jubilating like this you will know the sacked boss was ensuring prudency and ability among the staffs, you will know the sacked boss does not give them space for late coming, absenteeism and corrupt practices.

The staffs are happy now that they can resume coming late to work, they can starting makimg choices on which day fhey will be at work or not they can resume their curropt and sharp practices again.

Naija, EVERYBODY na victim, EVERYBODY na OPPRESSOR.

Apt summary of the shithole called Nigeria, sorry did I just say shithole, yeah, I said it, and you can put it on repeat

Thegamingorca:
nah breast abi nipple dey the football logo

Omo the logo de confusing, looks like a nipple, again come take style resemble booty too. Not surprised though, it's the Koko master doing his thing

Rehearsing for the eventuality

cathodekazim:



Stfu


Because it was posted online by a random person, a competent presidential aspirant will every source of his information before saying it out. All these ipob dogz retards. But if it's the other way round, you'll be quick to blame Hillary

Never knew ipob was mentioned in the report. Shows where you are in your evolutionary journey

Tjra:
Poor gal.. She's been through a lot

I can relate because I am facing the same issue here in Anambra.

I have a flat head, I am fair skinned and I speak Igbo well down to proverbs.

But getting business contracts here is very hard because of my surname.

The moment they hear my full name, tribalism sets in

We blacks should learn to love one another.

The real issue is actually the fact, that your flat head is not flat enough, what about those curves in front and by the side, get rid of them and MNK will donate his sister to you
