Some never do wells will come to attack Obi here now
You were already late. Several of the intellectually bereft folks already dragged in Peter. Extremely appalling that they always try to mask the highly corrupt and regressive practices of the current administration with their childish and self deceptive hatred for Peter.

I also see comments disguising the weighty allegations with Atiku’s past performances. How do two wrongs make a right? How can we ever fix this country with these Stone Age mindset?!

The traditionalists have their rights to religion same way non-followers also have their rights to movement and civil activities. The rights of one group should not be interfered and should not interfere by/with the rights of the other group.
Business / Re: Senate Increases Banks’ Windfall Levy To 70% by Lexicon123: 8:47pm On Jul 24
Do these guys think at all? How can the govt tax paper/temporary incomes? Will they refund the taxes when the banks suffer huge FX losses? Banks are not allowed to pay dividend out of FX gains, but are now being tax on the forbidden fruit?

The whole FX gains/losses arose from govt policies. Govt is doing nothing to lighten the burden on the productive sector. Why think only of ways of squeezing entities?

Politics / Re: 10 Things To Note About Mrs Florence Morenike Saraki by Lexicon123: 1:28pm On Jul 20
Rest in peace Mrs Florence.

But one thing I don’t understand is why the ceremonies are being held in Lagos, not in Ilorin, not even in Ondo. With the Saraki dynasty so entrenched in Kwara, I don’t want to believe the State isn’t magnificent enough to host the burial ceremony of Ma Florence.

Our politicians really really need to examine their consciences. The people should do even more!

Politics / Re: Heritage Bank: CBN Should Not Destabilize The Country's Financial System —Obi by Lexicon123: 10:10am On Jun 04
Lots of attacks on the messenger rather than the message apparently for politics. Just wondering what those people’s reactions will be if it’s their hard earned money and maybe only savings are stucked in the bank. What is wrong with paying the depositors back in full? Isn’t it their money? Later one will be hearing “conditional cash transfers “ to ‘ghosts’. We need to be realistic, the depositors must not suffer in a bid to fix the system.

Politics / Re: Discos Struggle To Satisfy Band A Customers Over Gas Shortage by Lexicon123: 9:43pm On Apr 14
The light situation has become worse since the so-called banding, the article alludes to same fact. They’re basically scraping the already nonexistent light from the other band consumers just to meet the band A quota. This has worsened the light situation especially for the other consumers. It’s unimaginable that the most populous black nation cannot even boast of 5k MW. Increase capacity before coming out with this type of policy.

I don’t think Wale is as bold as Yemi.

Or probably, it’s harder to effect quick change at that fiscal level because there are lot of variables compared to the CBN that a man can just whip at them.

Let’s see how it goes in the next few month and we will know what’s up.
True!

Kudos to Yemi Cardoso.

According to Bloomberg, Naira is the best performing currency in the world for the month of April.

Cardoso should fire on until it comes to a record low. Wale Edun should step up his game on the fiscal side too to complement the monetary side.

To the saboteurs who are shouting “Keep your dollar close”, you will suffer for 1000 years when that dollar in your hand become worthless because the value has decrease 100% of what you got it.
very good point on Wale Edun needing to up his game. I really haven’t seen any traction from the fiscal end. Depending only on monetary policies is unsustainable in the medium to long term.

Politics / Re: Ahmed Yusufa: Islamic Scholar In Minna Appeals To Peter Obi For Borehole (video) by Lexicon123: 4:13pm On Apr 12
I’m liking this borehole debate. Politics aside, it baffles me how most of our state and local governments do absolutely nothing to alleviate the water challenges within their states and local governments. A case in point is Lagos, surrounded by large water bodies yet hardly have good portable water supply. Most houses have to depend on individually constructed boreholes. I do not understand why it’s such an impossible task.

Politics / Re: Rising Naira: Presidency Backs Cardoso, Vows Further Clampdown On Racketeers by Lexicon123: 3:56pm On Apr 11
Good job by Cardoso and Team so far!

However, the government needs to expand its horizon beyond just monetary policies and measures. That is really not sustainable in the medium to long term. The monetary policies need to be supported by clear and strategic fiscal, economic and even security policies and actions. We need to see clear actions on security to encourage local food production; manufacturers need to be incentivized (in contrast to some of the current measures that worsen costs of production), etc.

Politics / Re: Akinwumi Adesina Proposes ‘United States Of Nigeria’ by Lexicon123: 8:02pm On Mar 30
I agree completely. Earlier, I read the lamentation by Gov Uba Sani of Kaduna. He was complaining about the huge debts left by his predecessor, who himself thinks he has done so well that he’s beginning to strategize for 2027.

The Gov laments that the state got only N3bn from the N7bn accrued to the state in March. And I’m like: so the states cannot survive without the FAAC. No single mention of what the government is doing to increase the state’s IGR.

Obviously, this is how most of the states will continue unless we embrace true federalism. After promising heaven and earth during electioneering campaigns, they come lamenting at their incompetences. But with true federalism, they’ll have to sit their asses down and think of ways to make money for their states.

I also agree with Adesina’s position on the high intrinsic tax borne by Nigerians. With the huge tax revenues and surrounded by huge water resources, one wonders why most households in Lagos have to provide water for themselves for instance.

The government continues to play politics with the dare security challenges in the country. If not, why is instituting state police such a difficult task?

It’s well!

Very low safety consciousness. Fiddling with phone on the always busy Lagos roads. I see runners do that a lot and I’m like: “do you have double life?”. Another recklessness is not barricading red zone.

We shouldn’t take safety more seriously.

For those blaming APC and president Tinubu for the hardship in the country, are you all aware that UK and Japan are currently in economic recession? Is it APC and Tinubu that is ruling both nations? Nobody should blame APC and Tinubu for the rot the PDP government of Jonathan caused. What we are suffering today is the result of the Jonathan government's recklessness. Peter Obi and his PDP gang brought Nigeria to her knees. May God help our dear president Tinubu to fix the country like he did in Lagos.
Someone ‘prophesied’ that APC and its supporters will latch unto this recession story and blow their trumpets on how Nigeria is much better than UK and Japan. Lo and behold it’s already happening!

Why is President always blamed for everything?

What's the function of Governors?

The current narratives make it look as if they don't matter, so we should just stop electing them!!


Co-asking! Even the governors blame the FG for issues completely within their control. What are their state allocations and security allocations meant for? It’s high time we started holding our state governors, legislators and others responsible for things within their purview. Just empty promises during campaigns.

A radio presenter alleged that this cyber bullying could be the government’s strategy to portray the social media as “evil” in order to enforce the gag/ban already being severally muted by the government (re: Gbaja’s recent comments on the subject). Honestly I’m towing that line of thought and I hope we don’t allow ourselves fall into their trap.

You would imagine that this childish bullying would be coming from unknown names, but when so-called social media influencers are pioneering such bullying then it’s very likely a well orchestrated setup. Nigerians, let’s not fall victims!!!

See the hungry looking kidnappers. This is the more reason I believe these are just foot soldiers doing the dirty biddings of heartless politicians and others. Although the guns are surprisingly too cheap, I don’t know how these folks that are probably struggling to make ends meet can afford such guns. unfortunately, nothing is being done to apprehend the sponsors.

Politics / Re: Don’t Leave Nigeria, Tinubu Urges Multinationals by Lexicon123: 6:04pm On Dec 09, 2023
What exactly is the govt doing to encourage the existing companies to stay and new foreign investors to come? Absolutely nothing! No clear policy direction, no incentives, nothing! Contrarily, the govt and its corrupt agencies, go after the relatively law abiding companies and continue to corruptly squeeze them because they know those companies will never give in to their corrupt demands.

The highly corrupt NCDMB is a very clear example of this height of govt squeezing the foreign investors. They come and threaten you with very stupid and baseless audits and fines. Meanwhile, a body that’s supposed to be promoting local content has its management and staff, gallivanting around foreign countries from kickbacks they get from non-compliant companies and some companies sponsored training and estacodes imposed on such companies. Anyone that has dealt with these guys can bear me witness. Just an epitome of how Nigeria is forcing companies outta Nigeria. Smh!!!🤦🏽‍♂️
