“I stand before you proudly, noting that those who are afraid of the budget, the thoughts of borrowing. Yes, borrowing. If borrowing is a crime, the entire America should be in jail. If borrowing is a crime, stop using Mercedes Benz and Lexus,” Mr Tinubu declared.

Listeners were left in quandary as to the correlation between usage of particular brands of vehicles and concerns for ballooning national debts

The former Lagos governor has been under scrutiny for his mental alertness and general healthiness as he struggles with his frail physicality.

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....
[b]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 w[/b]e 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

Another useless crap!
While Obi is walking the talk, Tinubu only plays mouth service. Obi bought lots of vehicles from Innoson, Nigeria's flagship local brand but Tinubu has never patronized Innoson and neither has he ever encouraged his puppet governors to do so. Instead they buy from India, Brazil and any other country out there.

Hypocrites!!!

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.

Stop asking questions that are not related to the discussion. Tinubu was questioned about Nigeria's huge debt only for him to ask Nigerians to sell their Benz and Lexus. The same senile man also said all Americans should be in jail if debt is bad.

Does such stupid statements make sense to you?
Can you point to where he said people should sell their cars? If you can't quote the part where Tinubu told people to sell their cars you no go see better

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, just like there's nothing wrong with America or people riding lexus etc..

Mr Tinubu said Nigerians complaining about huge borrowings by the federal government should stop using Mercedes Benz and Lexus vehicle brands.


If Nigerians ever elect this man as the president next year, then their is something fundamentally wrong with the country. I mean failure cannot be more glaring.

Borrowing without the ability to pay back is a crime.

Borrowing, then share it amongst cronies is a crime.

Borrowing and going back to beg for debt forgiveness is shameful.

Borrowing to service debt with over 100% of your income is insane.

Actually, Tinubu is right.

Nigeria borrows because we spend a lot importing things which we don't manufacture...which puts more pressure on our forex earnings from oil....which forces us to take on more loans.

Also, we take loans because we sell oil....whose price is never where we want it to be, and which we cannot set, and we need it to be at least 120 dollars per barrel...on a conistent basis, mind.....and when the price dips below sustenance level...we take loans or we starve.

The problem with Tinubu is that in his manifesto so far...nothing on improving domestic production of cars so that we can spend more forex here in Nigeria.

All Americans are in debt that's what he is trying to say. Nigeria is the richest country on earth where people actually own things. A resource based economy is what Russia is fighting for and once they win by December everything will fall into place. We'll shut our doors to those who left to exchange the best place in the world for depression
