The insecurity in Anambra state has mutated into a dragon that is ravaging the state. Yet, Mr Peter Obi, has not said anything. Mr PO please, remove the plank in your eyes before removing the spec in your neighbours eyes (Mattew 7, 3-5).
Just because too many flies are attracted to faeces doesn't make faeces attractive. You are a fly attracted to faeces, you cannot be attracted to my views because it is way above your intellectual compression. Your maligned view that you are on Twitter to attract people exposes you as 'empty vessel'
The approach prescribed by Peter Obi is a practical approach. Before you get it twisted. The pegging of the foreign exchange through borrowing is temporary measure, within which period they can address and clean the precarious PESTEL business environment in Nigeria. Thereafter, the Foreign Exchange will operate on market determinant mechanism made possible by a favourable PESTEL business environment. Peter Obi is not using the Agbado-economics model. Mr Rufai is a journalist and not an economist or business expert, and he can be surprised because this is not his field of expertise.
Everybody in Nigeria has suddenly become an expert in business and economics. Quick to tell Nigerians how other countries like Singapore, Malaysia, etc, became self-reliant. Do you have any clue about the business model of the countries you mentioned? Those countries use the Asian Tigers business model, where small businesses were provided with government aid in a favourable business environment. Please do not tell me about the scam ridden palliatives to people and non-existent loans that the T-Pain government claims to be awarded to small businesses in Nigeria. Nigeria is a scam, but T-Pain has raised scam to an exponential factor.
T-Pain has succeeded in formulating and implementing risk vulnerable policies that have exacerbated the precarious business environment in Nigeria created by his party (APC) under the leadership of Buhari. The policies are not the problem. Rather, it is the implementation that encompasses knee-jerk ad-hoc decision-making with no regard for risk management and absolutely zero regards for the suffering of Nigerians.
@BashirAhmaad Universities with recycled curriculum. What is the essence of the ranking when so-called graduates are unemployed for life. Please show the employability ranking for graduates from the various universities you have listed. Nonsense.
Word of wisdom. When you point a finger at others, three fingers point back at you. Crime is a Nigerian culture, and it is regardless of tribe and religion. Do your research and scan through global statistics on crime and pertuators. You will find out that it is only the Northerners that are not on international arrest warrant. Illiteracy is a disease. Drink some Agbo to cure yourself.
No doubt, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is in power. But your uninformed self fails to understand that President BAT is President of Nigeria, not regional President of the South West. Why do you illiterates choose to your diminish the scope of President BAT authority by claiming he is President of the Yoruba's? Look around you, go the market in Lagos and any other South West Nigeria, and see the hopelessness, and 'E bi Nkpawa' is the slogan. Your grandma's, your grandpa's, your relatives are all crying 'E bi Nkpawa', and your destitute self is laughing at your family. The Igbos are not crying 'E bi Nkpawa' but are focused on making the money and buying your everything in their way, including you.
I grew up in a compound in Surulere, and everyone, including my family and other families, used to laugh at the Igbo people in the compound because they did not wear expensive clothes or eat expensive food. To cut long story short, 8 years later, the same Igbo family that we all laughed bought the same compound and became landlord. The moral of the aforesaid is that the Igbos are resilient and focused people who know what they want in and from life and aggressively pursue their goal and are ready to deprive themselves of short term pleasure for the achievement of the goal in life. Nobody says you should love or celebrate the Igbos, but try and copy their resilience, astuteness, prudence, and goal actualization focused mentality instead of lamenting Igbo this, Igbo that. The Igbo man will ask,'Your face na payslip?' It means the Igbos know that money answereth all things and everybody has a price they will sell something no matter how valuable.
Mr wise guy, where do you think is my region? The truth hurts when all your life you have lived and feasted on lies and falsehood. Truth be told, the only developed state in the South West is Lagos state, which is by default, because it was the former capital of Nigeria, which thereafter transitioned into commercial capital of Nigeria. Have you looked around you? The remaining states in SW are today more run down than they were 40 years ago. What is the GDP of the remaining states in the South West? You all come to Lagos from your remote villages and claim to be Lagosians just because you speak a certain dialect, whereas those born and bread in Lagos that are of Half Yoruba parentage are disenfranchised politically and socially and then you have the audacity to moonwalk in your backward ethno enclave mindset into forum of progressives and patriotic Nigerians. Am glad you are intimidated by the truth.
Addressing me with abusive words shows that you are someone with dwarfed IQ. Do you even know the meaning of gaslightning? People like you try to sound trendy, but you lack what it takes.
Let me educate you. Governor Soludo is a failed leader who has decided to hang unto the thread of populism aimed at eliciting ethnic sympathy from gullible people. This is the same tactics used by the Yoruba leaders. You ignoranamus and your likes fail to understand that your leaders who sensitize ethnic and religious divisiveness don't care about you and your people but care only about themselves and their family. Who is a fool now? You, I believe.
I own business in Lagos, and because I give no credence to tribe or religion. I prefer to say my employees are Nigerians. As a business owner, I hire the right people with the needed skillset to make business grow and flourish. To further deconstruct your ethnic narrative, there are thousands of Yoruba's in Diaspora in exceptional high paid and highly skilled jobs, be it technology, medicine, politics, law, just name it, and nobody is telling them to back to their country or town in Nigeria. These Yoruba's got to where they are in Diaspora through sheer brilliance, resilience, and the competitive ruggedness of a Nigerian. Cognizant of the latter, it is rather shallow for someone to advocate that in the same country (Nigeria). Some people should be handed a free pass based on a sense of entitlement because of tribe. Kindly hold your leaders, especially President Bola Ahmed, responsible for creating 3 decades of yobs and louts, a generation of youth dependency on crumbs and a pennywise pound foolish generation of Agbero's who hang around every corner of Lagos lazying about instead of looking for a meaningful source of living.
Following the arrest of Speed Darlington, many from different quarters have been dragging Burna Boy on social media. The only sensible commentator VDM who has once again shown himself as a peace maker with intelligence. Having watched the video of Speed Darlington ranting and spewing sick and vile rhetoric with extreme prejudice aimed at causing Burna Boy both emotional and reputational damage. I am of the position that Burna Boy has acted properly. Speed Darlington has to be grateful that Burna Boy only acted the Nigerian Big man way and did not go street with the ignorant Darlington.
Minister Festus Keyamo, some months ago, you showcased some men in uniform who are supposed to protect travellers. However, like many other ministerial management, you have failed to put in place measures to mitigate against the risks of bribery and extortion. What a national disgrace? Imagine the national reputational damage. Later, your government will shout de-marketing Nigeria, when it is your government that is de-marketing Nigeria through bad governance and twisted leadership.
Lying to oneself is the worst form of escapism from reality. The fact is that the majority of Yoruba's would rather stand on the road and do 'Tuale' to people and car owners, as against working as a dispatch rider. The work the Yoruba's needs to do is to address the root causes of preference for area boys.
