Difference Better A US Governor And Nigerian Governor by foryourmindok: 11:34am On Jun 20, 2022 |
Yesterday people were lamenting (while some were unfortunately, hailing) the 3 hours blocking of Lagos roads by APC Presidential aspirant Bola Tinubu with dozens of cars show parade for his "homecoming". The US is the world's largest economy with 20 trillion GDP. President Donald Trump of the US, the world's most powerful man at the time, was seen here in the UK with 18 vehicles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn7dNO0XWMM US governor of California Jerry Brown can be seen here with 3 vehicles in his convoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02jMtVGKn18 California's GDP is about eight times bigger than that of the whole Nigeria Another US governor can be seen here with just two vehilces: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3cjpIiS5KI Another US governor is seen here with only one vehicle as his motorcade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4S1eaMrvBY Nigeria in the other hand has about 90 million people living in poverty. Although Nigeria has a bigger GDP than Egypt, Malaysia, Morocco and a host of others, embezzlement and careless population explosion has kept the country digging for the bottomless pit while the mentioned countries are fastly moving to become 2nd world countries. You would have thought that as poor and as mismanaged as Nigeria is, it will reflect on the life on their government officials. It's quite the opposite.

Stop comparing Nigeria and USA interms of anything,they are above us especially in politics. |
Re: Difference Better A US Governor And Nigerian Governor by foryourmindok: 11:44am On Jun 20, 2022 |
booblacain:No, they're not. How can you explain that an urchin like Yayha Bello or Orji Uzo Kalu or an experienced looter like Bola Tinubu is more safe-guarded than the US president and Russian president? Despite being in a nation where 35 m people don't know where their next meal with come from? They're simply criminals. 1 Like |

Nerogaming01:To feed the people in that convoy they kill like 3 cows everyday. Add fuel of 15k x 20 vehicles, add accommodation, add repair and services and see how much Nigeria is wasting guarding criminals and looters. Lalasticlala, seun 2 Likes |

foryourmindok: ...including the costs incurred by Commissioners, SSGs and other appointees along with their retinue of aides, security guards and the likes all drawing funds from scarce tax-payers' resources. All these happen in a country where the workers' Minimum Wage is less than $50 in a whole month...not even enough to buy a bag of rice! |

Who cursed Nigeria should forgive us pls. The politicians use ethnicity and religion to draw sympathy,thereby keeping us in abject poverty. A northerner will defend buhari no matter his crime, An igbo man is ready to defend Peter Obi with his blood just because Peter Obi is his kins man, A hungry Yoruba man will tell you how tinubu has made Lagos to be the new Dubai also how Tinubu has made the IGR of lagos to far than the USA. Ethnicity and religion is the worst thing that ever happened to this country. 1 Like 1 Share |
