What exactly is @aonanuga1956’s economic contribution to Nigeria?
Please, someone who knows should enlighten us.
Because from the outside, the CV seems to have one remarkably consistent economic strategy: wake up, find Peter Obi, talk about Peter Obi, attack Peter Obi, go to bed—and repeat.
Peter Obi this. Peter Obi that. Peter Obi in the morning, Peter Obi in the afternoon, Peter Obi apparently occupying premium office space in the mind.
But when the conversation turns to ideas, productivity, investment, industrialisation, job creation, infrastructure, wealth creation or measurable economic value, suddenly the microphone develops a technical fault.
Maybe we have misunderstood the job description.
Perhaps the national assignment is simply Peter Obi Monitoring & Commentary Services.
So, by all means, keep discussing Peter Obi.
But Nigerians are still waiting for the part where you tell us what you have actually built, created, developed or contributed to Nigeria beyond political commentary.
Because noise is not economic value.
And having plenty to say about someone else is not the same thing as having something valuable to contribute yourself.
@Iyoaiye_ Running to rescue men who lack even the most basic understanding of economic growth—yet somehow have mastered the economics of tribalism and nepotism.
At this point, are you their leader, their spokesperson, or simply the self-appointed chairman of the tribal bigotry committee?
Every project needs a strategic framework. But without strong governance, even the best strategy can lose direction long before the project fails on delivery.
Governance frameworks that work are not built on politics or willpower. They are built on value, structure, clear blueprints, accountability, and disciplined execution.
A reliable governance framework protects the vision, drives accountability, supports sound decision-making, and keeps delivery aligned with strategic objectives.
Good governance doesn’t slow projects down—it keeps them on course. But what established governance framework will the Renewed Hope Agenda rely on to keep it there?
Living abroad exposes you to information. So why let ignorance and lack of empathy shape your understanding of economics?
And seriously, what are you actually comparing? Total GDP? GDP per capita? Purchasing power? Cost of living? Jobs and wages? Standard of living? What exacly???
And if none of these is the yardstick, what makes this an economic comparison rather than just ignorant speculation?
@FinPlanKaluAja1 Watch those who are always quick to accuse and judge. Most times, they have something to hide.
Accusation isn’t evidence. A narrative isn’t truth.
Please listen to this song and share it to your mutuals!
No condition is permanent. That situation you see today is temporary, you will overcome it.
Who sang the song??? Who is the man singing it??
Let’s be honest: too many Nigerian governments would rather destroy the previous administration’s legacy than maintain something that actually benefits Nigerians.
A new government comes in and suddenly, anything started by the previous administration becomes something to abandon, rename, repaint—or simply ignore.
Why?
If a road is good, maintain it.
If a hospital is working, improve it.
If a project is unfinished, complete it.
If a policy is producing results, build on it.
Development is not supposed to end with the politician who started it.
Continuity is not a favour to the previous government. It is a responsibility to the people.
Until we understand this, Nigeria will keep spending money to start over while other countries keep building forward.
A country cannot develop when every government wants to erase the last government instead of improving what it inherited.
I appreciate you wanting clarity, so here it is: I don't accept that an entire people can be judged by a pattern seen in some of them. "4 out of 10" isn't data. It's perception, and perception is shaped by who we already distrust.
Yorubas have shown real hospitality. So have Igbos, Hausas and many others who built lives, businesses and families in each other's lands.
If someone does wrong, name the person and the act, not calling their family, their tribe, their unborn generations for what they know nothing about. Once we say "we will call you out collectively," we've stopped seeking justice and started keeping score.
That's not a fence I'm sitting on. It's a line I'm standing on.
Let me say something that many Nigerians probably won’t want to hear.
I love Nigeria. Honestly, I do. Nobody needs to convince me of that.
But I’ll tell you this for free: I don’t think our biggest problem is just politics. And honestly, I don’t think it’s mainly religion either.
I think one of our biggest problems is tribalism.
Yes, tribalism.
And you see it in very ordinary conversations.
You meet someone for the first time and, before you’ve even properly introduced yourself, someone is already asking, “Where are you from?” Then comes, “Which tribe?”
You tell them and suddenly you hear, “Ohhh, you’re one of them?” 😂
You’re talking to someone online and, instead of dealing with what you actually said, they check your name and start asking, “Wait, which tribe is he /she?”
You tell your family you’re dating someone and the first question isn’t, “Is this person good to you?” It’s, “Which tribe?”
Someone recommends a person for a job and immediately somebody says, “Are you sure? You know those people…”
Someone does something wrong and suddenly it becomes, “That’s how they behave.”
Someone does something impressive and instead of just saying, “Well done,” people start asking, “Which tribe is he?”
Sometimes you can literally watch people change their attitude towards someone simply because they’ve discovered where that person comes from.
Come on, guys. We know this happens.
And I’m not saying every Nigerian behaves this way. Far from it. There are so many Nigerians who genuinely love, respect and appreciate people from other tribes. I know many of them.
But there is also a deep-rooted tribal prejudice that many people don’t want to talk about.
And honestly, we need to talk about it.
Not to attack one tribe. Not to pretend one group is innocent and another is guilty.
Just to be honest with ourselves.
Because how do we fix something we’re afraid to even talk about?
Enough of judging people before knowing them.
Before you see someone’s tribe, accent, state or surname, try seeing the person first.
Because if we truly love Nigeria, then we should be able to love Nigerians beyond their tribe.
We can’t keep pretending this doesn’t exist. We have to start having this conversation.
What is your thought on tribalism in Nigeria?
@Mmaduka001 Negotiation or no negotiation, we are all human beings first. Our different ethnicities do not make one person more valuable than another.
We may have different histories, cultures and identities, but respect, dignity and humanity should never be negotiated.
@TheBlackAkord@captainsterling We should all have sense of responsibility and stop thinking like babies.
Does it make sense to you playing god to the entire people of the state?
Self-preservation is understandable. But calling tribalism “good” is where I disagree.
Defending your people is human; judging others by their tribe is prejudice.
A true Nigerian should be able to stand for his people without abandoning truth, justice and humanity.
If truth changes with tribe, then it is no longer truth—it is tribal loyalty.
This is exactly what I’m talking about. Tribalism is one of the biggest issues holding Nigeria 🇳🇬 back.
You’ll think someone is educated, exposed and enlightened—until they open their mouth and suddenly, you hear hatred and prejudice over issues that have absolutely nothing to do with tribe.
Education should broaden your mind, not build a bigger wall around your bias.
COVID-19 infected bodies. Tribalism infects minds—and Nigeria is still suffering from it.
You'll still see people liking it. That's shows the bigger trend in the tribalism pandemic!
