What's wrong with Tinubu naa?
He should talk less. Cos if Atiku should start talking, he ll good more than Tinubu.
Meanwhile, I think he wanted to say govt officials should stop using official Benz and BMW. Cos reduction in cost of governance is one of the best things to quickly do to sanitise Nigeria. When the political offices are less attractive, people ll go there to only serve and not to make money. Also, Nigeria ll be spending less on salaries of political appointees or elected ones unlike how it's high presently.
So...maybe if Tinubu or any of the candidates v the balls to promise and do that, we may turn to them.

Tinubu will never tell Govt officials to reduce wastage. Because he is the biggest beneficiary of the wastage and inefficiencies of the govt.

If you are foreigner and reading this.. you need to understand that both the writer of this article and many of the commenters are mischievous people and do not represent the way nigerians think....
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed is saying the same thing that all nigerians have been saying including obi who doesn't have a road man for what hes saying which is buy locally made products. Is mercedes benz or lexus produced in Nigeria? No! While you buy this vehicles you're not helping Nigeria and Nigerians.... How many Nigerians are patronizing locally made cars? In everything we prefer imported, yet we say the economy is not doing well, dollar is going up.. and then you have a presidential aspirant that said he will lift all restrictions on importation turning Nigeria to a dumping site.

To real Nigerians as you listen to these politicians during the election period. Critically analyze their depth by what they said and also scrutinize their past record, that way chances of voting a dullard is slim

You are a real clown walahi. Oga you are even making it so obvious when trying to defend Tinubu's gaffes. See a good leader has to be able to make his speeches clear to the minute detail. We don't need to do Philosophy or metaphysics to understand what a person says. Even old men who speak in proverbs make it a point to break down what they said so that people would understand it. Let Tinubu himself breakdown what he said that is if he understands what he said in the first place.

Tinubu keep showing the low intelligence of his haters!

He mentioned two things here

He said if borrowing is a crime, then America will be in jail (since they've got debt too). He also said if borrowing is a crime, people should stop using Lexus etc (which are not from Nigeria of course). He's saying there's nothing wrong in borrowing, only if it's used for something tangible such as development, just like there's nothing wrong with America borrowing since they're using it for good stuff.

Do you see how stupid you are. Where is the correlation between government borrowing and citizens buying Mercedes or Lexus? See guy just respect yourself and keep shut and accept the fact that Tinubu is getting senile

Listen... Innoson is not the only car assembler in Nigeria, there are infact manufacturer of vehicles in the country... APC has patronized locally made vehicles the most... compared to previous governments. When Tinubu said he will continue on that path you people starting crying forgetting that innoson motor will not get any patronage from pdp like they never got.

How many has he himself bought?

Age is surely telling on Tinubu and he si not fit to be a President. We all saw the agile Tinubu on campaign grounds in 2015 and 2019 speaking coherently without a need for an elucidator like you're doing. What has changed? His health? I think so. He should save Nigeria from borrowing to take care of his health, that is even if he wins.

You nailed it. Tinubu has been speaking eloquently not until recently he started needing analysers to help him drive his misyarn to his supporters. This guy might well need to explain why Tinubu himself at the Kaduna summit told the whole world "he has been told not to speak off his script"?

What he meant is that if you want Nigeria to be free from debt, contribute your quota by patronizing automobile products made in Nigeria.

The one he made about workers salary not paid in dollars is also a metaphor? The one he made about El Rufai is a Metaphor too? Please come off it! You're entitled to support your candidate albeit intelligently. Why has his team advised him not to speak off script anylonger? Your intelligent man was so intelligent to even intimate the world of this development. Why is it that anytime he doesn't read from his script he talks METAPHORICALLY? INTELLIGENT INDEED! We've heard plenty METAPHORS lately, he should give us more.

Tareq1105:



What Tinubu meant was that Mercedes Benz and BMW manufacturers are highly indebted, running on loans yet their products remain the best in the world.

Nigeria can be in debt but if the debt is well utilized the economy will boom even in debt.

Tinubu talks proverbially and more of such will come.

He talks incoherently not proverbial, I asked what is the correlation between national borrowings to citizens using Benz and Co?

Are you guys soooo blind that you cannot see the correlation?
There was a time it was Volvo cars that were in vogue in Nigeria and we had more Volvo cars than they had in the whole of Sweden where it is manufactured. Now, the craze is Mercedes and Lexus cars when you cannot even produce a bicycle from scratch.
Where do you expect the foreign exchange to come from without borrowing to supplement the meagre forex you earn from sale of crude, which you cannot even refine by yourselves?
Point Jagaban was making was we need to be more inward-looking and self-reliant….then we would not have cause to borrow so much from the industrialised nations and have to carry so much debt! Is this rocket science? cool cool

The writer of the story under reference is very incompetent.and lacks basic knowledge of economics. In sociology and in economics, the term conspicuous consumption describes and explains the consumer practice of buying and using goods of a higher quality, price, or in greater quantity than practically possible within ones income. So Asiwaju was very correct in his statement.
