@jidesanwoolu@LagHealthScheme@ProfAkinAbayomi Please I want to bring to your notice, few nurses in the Female ward in Igando General Hospital are exploiting the plight of their patients. They stealing drugs bought by relatives of patients to resell elsewhere.Take note.
The reason Peter Obi is against the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway has nothing to do with the state of other roads in various parts of the country, as he claimed. Peter Obi is a trader. He has trader sense. What in English is called cunning or native intelligence. He himself built a brewery in Anambra when Anambra roads were death traps. His objections are just subterfuges.
Obi wants to run for President again in 2027. And he feels that the South-South is his captive audience, based on the results of the last election. His projection is that the South-South will vote for him in 2027.
However, he has calculated that if President Tinubu is able to deliver the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway by 2027, Asiwaju is likely to sweep South-South votes. That is what he is against. But it is not the only reason.
Secondly, he knows that if he does not win in 2027, as is likely, power will almost certainly shift to the North by 2031. And if Dave Umahi is able to deliver that road for Tinubu, Umahi will be widely popular in the Southwest and South-South, making him an ideal running mate for a Presidential candidate from the North, and likely the Northeast.
If that happens; Umahi will eclipse him as the most marketable Presidential candidate from the Southeast. That is his other Machiavellian reason for opposing the project. Landmark, bad roads, and the road being too expensive are all just red herrings to hide his true motives from the public.

Look at the date. And today, the same Peter Obi is criticising Lagos for allegedly repatriating homeless indigenes of Osun back to their state of origin.

Things are hard in Nigeria because fuel subsidy has been ended, and the Naira has been floated. And the reason why is that Nigeria is broke. And Nigeria is broke because General Buhari borrowed more than all previous governments combined. We cannot keep borrowing to consume. Please fact-check me. If we keep borrowing, we will only pass the hardship to our children. Let us bear it now and pass prosperity to the next generation.
Many celebrities currently doing videos just want to trend. They neither understand the issues Nigeria is facing nor do they care. Others are unhappy with the result of the last election and are weaponising the current hardship to bring down the current administration. Listen, I, Reno Omokri, urge you to stand with Nigeria. Not with Tinubu. Tinubu is just a temporary occupant of Aso Rock. Whether in 2027 or 2031, he will leave one day.
We must do what India, China and South Korea did when they were in our shoes and #GrowNairaBuyNaija.

Nobody is coming to save Nigeria. It is only Nigerians that will save Nigeria. Local brands may or may not be as good as foreign ones, but with continued patronage, they will improve in quality. Buy them, and your Naira will rise along with your personal happiness and the international rating of the green Nigerian passport. Your value is tied to Nigeria's value. Buy Nigerian and Nigeria's foreign reserves, trade balances, and debt to GDP ratio will automatically improve.
