The dropping of the ball by Seun is scary. Man came from being the best thing on political TV to a mare opposition tool.
What happens to doing independent research and confirmation. Lazy journalism relying on what they see on social media. Because obingos are saying it doesn't necessarily mean it is the truth. @seunokin do better.
"By the way, we are only hearing figures, we've not been able to identify them"
@seunokin 😁😁😁
Seun: "We do not know them"
Mr Sawyer: @channelstv know, I have seen you post these this on your Station.
SEUN IS THE DEFINITION OF DELAPIDATED JOURNALISM OF PROPAGANDA IN NIGERIA.....
SHAMEFUL!
I killed my sense of entitlement a very long time ago. Nobody owes me anything. I wish for the best and still expect the worse from anyone; and nobody is coming to save me but me.
Absolute top drawer investigation into Reform UK.
This is it, what we've all been working toward for so long.
This is the smoking gun that ends Farage and Reform UK.
We all knew it was coming, but this incredible investigation could put people in prison, not only out of politics.
Orr, Farage, Jukes the lot of them.
As someone born in Iraq, @nadhimzahawi - I assume you will condemn this blatant racism by your Reform party colleague? Or do you also ‘see a problem’ with people born outside of UK being elected officials here?
There’s a reason why this person (a staunch Tinubu supporter) even with his faux love for Nigeria stays in the United States and not Tinubu’s Nigeria.
He sells Tinubu to you but he won’t leave the united states. There’s a reason for that. Ponder on that.
Most of the key political figures in this country whom we sometimes mock as unintelligent were already successful in their 30s. They came up from the most humble backgrounds, built businesses, advanced in their careers and became Governors in their 40s.
Agreed 💯
This was what Buhari did immediately after he was sworn in May 29, 2015.
Multinational joint task force that was formed in 1994 was revamped by Buhari between Nigeria, Cameroon Chad, Nigeria and Benin. Buhari retained command of MNJTF permanently for Nigeria and jumpstarted the operations with $21 million.
He didn't first buy car, jet and renovate government mansions.
@ishakaa did you remember baba Buhari first foreign trip was to Niger ?
Uba Sani owes a significant part of his political rise to the very “loan” he and his supporters now incessantly complain about. In 2019, the El-Rufai administration reportedly moved political mountains to facilitate his emergence as Senator, partly to secure the support required for the loan. He supported and approved it enthusiastically.
To now turn around and spend his tenure portraying that same loan as the source of Kaduna’s problems is not just politically convenient; it exposes a serious deficit of consistency and character.
There is nothing inherently wrong with government borrowing. Responsible borrowing is a legitimate instrument of development when deployed to productive projects that create value and improve citizens’ lives. Kaduna saw significant infrastructure development from the borrowing undertaken by the previous administration.
The real irony is that Governor Uba Sani inherited a state he complains is heavily indebted, yet proceeded to reportedly commit ₦11 billion to a banquet hall while schools, hospitals, infrastructure and human capital remain in need of investment.
So which is it? Is debt the problem, or is the problem how government chooses to spend scarce resources?
Lagos is heavily indebted too, yet nobody seriously argues that borrowing itself makes governance impossible. The question is what the borrowing produces.
People close to Governor Uba Sani should tell him: enough of the wailing.
Kaduna did not elect him to become the state’s chief commentator on inherited debt. It elected him to govern.
After years in office, the question is no longer “Who borrowed the money?”
It is “What have you done with what you inherited?”
Hurts me to say this: Africa will not be saved by entrepreneurship. We cannot vibecode ourselves into the 4th industrial revolution. We still need to industrialize. To achieve this, we need stronger and better public institutions. We need extremely competent leaders at the helm.
