@shanaka86 Also a tactically stupid move that shows no one is in charge. The regime has just upped the threat equation for EU countries. Will they remain indifferent going forward knowing that someday the regime (if it survives and rebuilds) could possess ICBMs capable of reaching them?
@Smartek2050@FinPlanKaluAja1 Why didn't the 'patriotic' Nigerians who benefited from the inefficiencies that plagued the industry for over 3 decades make the investment?" It's called 'first mover advantage', it's called 'blue ocean', it's called 'economy of scale'. These are what characterize free markets.
@an_abass What is the performance of previous investments made by the state government i.e fertilizer plant, flour mill etc? What returns have these investments given the state and how has it helped augment revenue coming from the FAAC?
@an_abass There's nothing wrong in a state govt investing in another state. States need to diversify their revenue base beyond the allocations from the FAAC. The fundamental questions we should be asking are: what is the ownership structure of the current government investments?
@joezif@taadelodun@mabosigomolamu I was making reference to the general tone of the conversation in the public space. Apologies if my comment came off wrongly. Migration exerts pressure on the system no doubt but, it's an inevitable social phenomenon. Canada is experiencing its own reality with the housing crisis
@joezif@taadelodun@mabosigomolamu Absolutely!! They are entitled to that decision but don't make it seem as if migrants are a swarm of locusts eating up your resources leaving citizens impoverished. I have a problem with that narrative hence my argument that migrants are not there for free. We pay for what we get
@joezif@taadelodun@mabosigomolamu Government is not meant to make a profit but the IHS was introduced on d same principle that guides for-profit health insurance firms so that the system doesn't collapse. Migration is complex subject and looking at the impact without looking at the benefits is a one-sided view
@joezif@taadelodun@mabosigomolamu Sir, kindly show me anywhere in the world where people who subscribe to a health insurance plan pay 100% of value of the services they receive? I use a private health insurance and the value of what I am insured against is 1000% more than what I am paying for. Is that subsidy?
@mabosigomolamu@joezif@taadelodun I left the UK with my family after my son arrived. If we were to do the post-study for my wife to stay back we were required to pay. It was not free, even for my child who was born there. We paid for whatever services we got. It wasn't and never is free.
@joezif@taadelodun@mabosigomolamu Health care insurance is a game of numbers and most of those who pay the annual subscription don't use it. I paid IHS 4 my family when my wife was there. Guess how many of us visited the hospital in one year? One, my pregnant wife. How many of those people utilise the IHS paid?
1. My dear son, I was very proud you took part in the demonstration yesterday - very proud you didnโt consult me, you and your sister. Sheโs at the barricades in Lagos. #NigeriaNotes#EndSARS
Today is my last day as the West Africa Commercialization and Agribusiness Manager on the #aflasafe commercialization program we popularly call #ATTC. I have been trying to figure out how best to say farewell to a great team of change-makers who have beenโฆhttps://t.co/q5i6Sfjf8G
