The project definitely started with world bank funding.

No be today oga at the top dey say one story while the guys in the trenches know the story is different.

You are showing me proof of the expressway. I have not argued that with you

But the Blue Rail line was paid for by Lagos state. WB did not partake in the $2 billion bonanza for a 27km rail.

The head of the transport agency just told you.
There is no proof from you that WB paid anything for the rail

Yet, you want me to believe a trenches gossip.

I refuse, sir

izzou:


You said something
I probed it

Now you are going about, dropping specific terrains...Not good, sir

You said roads are cheaper to build in the North than South. What you should look out for it the cost of a road in the North, in relation to that of a South.

I no wan win argument with you. You no even dey gree if you dey wrong, so there is no point of arguing

When did Yaba, 3rd Mainland bridge and Lekki Epe expressway become part of Badagry?

Ehn?

Amoto94:
On debts what we should be asking is what percentage are they used for; what percentage is owed by states and FG?, how can we repay them or should we have taken them in the first place?,
It is easy to say that FG shouldn't borrow to finance capital projects or salaries, but when you're faced with social upheaval and your revenue drops in the meantime you will know that theory is different from practice.
On QE I believe we shouldn't adopt the policy wholeheartedly without looking at the angle that we don't have enough in our control to regulate the market, this will lead to many capital chasing few commodities and in the long run leading to economic decline.
The best way to move forward is a lean and efficient government but in a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country like ours any such attempt to create such government will be looked at with
suspicion and you will be hearing cries of marginalisation from different quarters, this is easier to achieve at the Sub-National level where the stakes are not much higher and homogeneity is largely present.
In 2021 PMB granted Financial Autonomy to the State Assembly and Judiciary and Local Government but the Governors fought against it in unison, and the public went quiet without realising that without financial autonomy to these tiers of government they're more or less like employees hired in the service of the Governors who can punish them by withholding their salaries when they don't do their bidding.

seankafor:
why is everywhere quiet? Where are the labour union and activists?

GloriousGbola:


the nigerian problem is and will always be corruption imho

corruption exists everywhere - but in most other places - it ends at 10% or it ends at kickback

but too many nigerians are prepared for a level of corruption that will compromise the project, national security , food security , basic safety.

this replocates in all sectors and so here we are.

the whole kidnapping business is also chop money for soldiers. if soldiers are getting thier cut from kidnappers, why would they be motivated to flush them out?
there are stories of nigerian lawyers compromising international cases that would cost this country billions of dollars

right now everyone simply adds settlement to cost of doing business

I entered Lagos, and saw a station selling at 175

I shock

EmmanuelScott1:


In my area Total is selling 189 naira per litre but the queue plenty, others re selling above 300 naira (350 max so far).

APC government keep giving it to us hot back and back

Itsrm:


Maybe that's why no one seems bothered. Some are still getting at the normal price

BlueRayDick:


I believe in Africans looking within and finding their own system of government that suits them. Democracy leaves room for so many excesses while some of our traditional system of government in the past also had checks and balances in place . We should look at working something out for ourselves .

Itsrm:


Omo

I think Obj left it at 97 naira representing a 340% increase.

Only Buhari can outdo this

Make dem just remove the subsidy once and for all. We are buying 450 now and have not died

BlueRayDick:

Anything u veto can still be subject of judicial process . The executive will be at loggerhead with the legislature in a lawsuit which the judiciary will determine how the case will
be decided .

That’s just a recipe for disaster

Theflint1:
Fuel at the end of Jonathan's era was #87, when he initially removed subsidy, fuel was at #67, and it was supposed to go as high as #97 an increase of like 45%. Today we're buying fuel as high as 250% from the approved price.

Anybody knows what cost of fuel is supposed to be without subsidy?

Thanks man. I appreciate this.
1. Security - Reforming the police is one humongous task and if he can pull it off...
2. Economy - what exactly are we going to produce? Surely we can't compete in the technology area.
Agriculture you say? That would be interesting. A lot of investment is obviously needed in that area. Where do we source the investment from?
3. On governance - Cutting spending? Is he going to close some parastatals or reduce salary for government workers, officials including the presidency?
4. On power - For me oh, this is the number 1 problem after security. Fix this and we will all be smiling to the bank. haha.
5. Corruption - He is going to cut spending and then stop corruption? Again, if he can pull this off....

larride:


NASS doesn't have veto power?

The last thing you want as a President is an antagonistic NASS.

larride:


At bolded, its obvious you havent been checking our national budget to come to this conclusion.

Bros Salary, Pension and Gratuity of Education ministry and the Military alone is over 1trn naira and ASUU are still asking for salary increment.

Issokay.

That's what I don't understand. No protest, nothing. Maybe it's the festive season.

Donjazet2:


Oh blueray, this is quite a poor take, first of all, Europeans themselves who practice democracy today (parliamentary) were all once a monarchy too that also believed in leadership for life or being appointed by "God" hence the immense power of the church in the previous 1000 years in Europe.

Just like africa, Europe had a mix of theocratic and monarchial rule so nothing really unique about African beliefs just a reorientation is what we need.

Secondly, it's always said that the worst form of democracy is better than the best form of autocracy. One is the fact that in a democracy you are assured of a change of leadership eventually no matter how bad the leader is, you already know his time will end. Not the same in autocracy, monarchy or theocracy.

Look at america, many were complaining about how terrible he was and the more educated populace voted him out and brought I someone more level headed and experienced.
