Just yesterday, I saw a heart-wrenching sight of a physically challenged traveller in a wheelchair being carried up the stairs by four men, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport, Abuja because neither the elevator nor the escalator had been functional, for the past 3 months.

The situation becomes more disturbing when you imagine that such is happening in our nation's capital, where our dignitaries and foreign investors travel through constantly. This was the same Airport and the same day that our President flew out on a private visit.

I have been wondering what is private for a sitting President who is not on vacation to embark on a publicly funded ‘private’ visit.

May I humbly remind the President that he is now a public national asset. Therefore, all his movements should be public knowledge and matters of public interest. Even when he needs a private visit like a holiday, family gathering, etc, he should state so, which is graciously allowed, but private visits, like the one he has embarked on now, should be done at his expense and not at public cost. That is part of the cost-cutting measures desperately needed by the nation now. We now require savings of sorts to deal with every little issue that requires attention, like the maintenance of small public assets.

Otherwise, how do we explain as a country, that for the past three months both the escalator and elevator at the domestic wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja, has remained dysfunctional?

I often wonder how we the leaders feel traveling in sophisticated manners while the majority of our infrastructure being used by the majority, including our foreign investors, is left dilapidated.

The situation we find ourselves in calls for such drastic cuts in the cost of governance, and attendant savings, to be appropriately used for every minor public good. That is the spirit of the New Nigeria we are clamoring for.

I must however acknowledge some efforts by the President to cut costs like his recent 60% cost on travel but that is still insignificant given the quantum of problems waiting to be tackled like the elevator issue in our prime airport.

5,681 x 300 = 1,704,300 watts = 1,704 kilowatts  ~ 2MW

He is Chief Tinubu, not president Tinubu because he did not win the election

Private Visits should be at your expense, not with public funds - Peter Obi tells Tinubu

Coming from this same foolish criminal that is yet to account for the presidential donation he got almost a year after election.

This foolish bastard Pandora Criminal get mind sha but I know blame na naija mumu never do. A die hard criminal that looted ₦250 million monthly as governor to his ware house in Lagos is the one saying this rubbish.

Did this fool fund the looting from his pocket before he was caught by Marvel Akpoyibo the then Lagos commissioner of police ? This fool should continue to thank God that Miko Okiro his Igbo kinsmen was Inspector General of the police at that time, the bastard for still de Kirikiri they chop bean till now.

How much is like 300 watt solar panel on average in Nigeria?

Lets say it's around N80,000. Let's convert this to dollars, which would be about $88.

Now, your government claims you are a poor country, and you have to WAIT to see any benefits as a citizen, yet the same government will spend $500,000 for Hotel bills for a week.

Now, how many 300 watt solar panels can $500,000 buy?

$500,000  = 5,681, 300 watt panels.
--------
$88

How many watts can theoretically be generated from 5,681 300 watt solar panels?

5,681 x 300 = 1,704,300 watts = 1,704 kilowatts  ~ 2MW

This could power a University, multiple Universities, Hospitals across a state, many many homes.

Yet your leaders will tell you that the reason your Universities don't have electricity in 2024 is because, blah blah blah..., meanwhile the same leaders that just told you 5 mins ago that we are broke, are willing so burn $500,000 in a week, just like that.


My own is that, why do these evil politicians still have avid supporters? I can understand somewhat if you are getting paid like them legendhero and the rest, but those you meet on the street, that claim "our brother", like, what is wrong with those type of people? Mosquito is biting you, you can't pay bills, but you are voting for "our brother", chai

Is this why Tinubu will use public fund for private visits?
