How many jobs has your state & Local Government crested for you & your people based on their comparative advantages?

It is Tinubu in Abuja that will create jobs for you in your state, & also for the Almijiris in Birin Kebbi?

Dude your lazy mindedness is unprecedented.
No.

Tinubu's job is to wake up, eat, sleep, and visit his friends in France on a tax funded Private visit anytime he likes

President Biden that posts job statistics created by the US govt na mumu.

This project has been on since the buhari era.

I believe buhari paid for it.

Honestly, this is a better use of money than leaving it in the hands of the APC led FG for them to waste, loot and embezzle.

There's nothing like savings or loose money under the APC.

It must be looted or used up.

All the monies that was embezzled and looted under the APC govt, if we used that money to upgrade our military, it would have been far more useful to us.

Thank you for just reiterating my point, how many of the jobs were created in Washington DC?

How many jobs did your state, & Local Government create last year based on their comparative advantages for Abuja to report?

Nigeria just suddenly had elected govrnors and LG chairmen.
It has never happened before.

We didn't have them all those years when inflation was in single digit, unemployment was manageable, dollar was at N150, and Nigeria was the highest foreign direct investment recipient in Africa.

We didn't have governors then and local chairmen then.

We didn't have them during the pdp era when the bulk was supposed to stop at the president's table.

We just suddenly elected governors under the APC and we gave them all the jobs that tinubu is supposed to be doing.

When buhari was closing the borders, cutting off companies from the markets and raw materials sources in west Africa and increasing the price of commodities in Nigeria, it was governors that did that.?

When buhari was plundering our foreign reserves earnings for useless projects to Niger republic and crippling our ability to defend the naira, it was governors that did that.

When buhari and his useless APC cabinet supported by the likes of tinubu were churning out suicidal economic policies, crippling our macroeconomics, and shutting out the flow of foreign investments, it was govrnors that did that.

Nigeria is practicing a unitary govt.

The most important person to elect is the president.

It determines the direction of your macroeconomics, which determines if the states would get any foreign investment whatsoever.

Nigeria was the third fastest growing economy in the world under Jonathan, getting the highest investment in Africa for more than 4 years back to back.

Who benefited most from that?

It was the APC states in Lagos and Ogun.
Companies were pouring there like water.

They were benefiting from the decent macroeconomics of the pdp at the center.

APC is now in power.
How many investments is flowing to Lagos state now?

The ones there are already closing shop.

A dollar is now N1500.

Pdp managed the dollar for more than 16yrs, and the highest it got was a little over 200.

This is 8yrs of the APC, and it is N1500.

We cannot even earn dollars from oil, because oil theft is at unprecedented high.

Dollars that pdp was getting easily due to oil exports to the point where naira cards in all the banks could buy goods in the international market, is now a complicated thing for the APC to replicate.

And some people think this govt is for their benefit.

There are fresh security challenges that call for military preparation. Three countries recently withdrew their membership from ECOWAS. They definitely have agenda and have the support of radical islamic nations in the Middle East, who are going to be funding them, training them and supplying them modern weapons. Nigeria as the engine room of ECOWAS may be a potential target. We have to be prepared and our forces need weapons that is required for modern battle.
Nope they too have insurgency problems. Nigeria handle the issue poorly, we should apply the carrot and stick tactics.

Most of the guns used by those Terrorist comes from outside Africa, I know much of the weapons comes from Libya, we should work closely to make sure there is no more fresh supply from outside.
I heard Chad is another place were you can get gun cheaply so I don't think this is the time for more divisions.

Dangote has built a refinery with our cheap dollars, and now we can't even supply him crude oil.

He is going to buy crude oil from America with scarce dollars.
Two step forward, three step backwards for Nigeria.

What happened to our own crude oil?

Buhari and the apc has pledged most of the supply to servicing the humongous debts to foreign lenders.
And that's not even talking about the massive unprecedented oil theft.

Foreign investment come into Nigeria due to the actions at the center.

It's not states that attracted them.
Nigerian states are not that advanced.

It's when they come in that they select the states they work with, and most of them go to Lagos and by extension Ogun.

Under the APC, the foreign investments have dried up.

Worry about them coming first, before looking for which states they go to.

Why should the foreign reserve be depleted when you can export oil?

Are you aware that the Russian -ukraine war happened under Buhari that led to a record increase in the price of oil.?


If that war happened under obj or even Jonathan, our foreign reserves would enter almost $100B.

All the oil producing countries were getting rich during that war, except Nigeria.

You should be concerned about why is the apc govt failing to do the simple things.?

The simple things that the corrupt pdp govts did.

Leave the complex things for better people like obi.

Actually, yes they do.

The macroeconomics at the center has to make sense.

No company is investing in delta or Edo, if they can't repatriate their dollars.

And why can't they repatriate their dollars.?

The FG at the center is not earning enough dollars by exporting enough crude oil.

And that's just one example of how FG affects investments at the states.

If Nigeria was exporting 1.3 Million barrels a day, dollars would not be this scarce.

We may not be rich, but Nigeria would not be this bad.
We have been exporting this for decades, when dollar was at N100.

What has changed?

The problem is that we can't even meet our opec quota due to oil theft and massive corruption.

Who is supposed to reduce oil theft, and corruption as a matter of national security.?
The FG.

Opec wants to even reduce our quota because we can no longer meet it.

The quota that all the pdp govts have met, and were even lobbying to increase.

i bought dollars from the black market, deposited it in my domicillary GTB account and sent to my bro in Columbus Ohio 2 weeks ago.

Probably you don’t have a domicillary account, hence your ignorance, or you are waiting for the cheap official rate from the banks?

Why is our National tap not running optimally?

Some big men have cornered it.

How do we remove them?

By arresting them all, and creating deterrence.

As simple as this, APC cannot do it.
