Thank GOD... the present sufferings are due to man-made actions... not divine calamities...
If today I emerge as Nigeria President... my performances will immediately halt the suffering caused by the leadership poor economic policies and citizens collective corruption... then induce progressive policies for our common wealth and wellbeing...

What we need presently in Nigeria is "Wealth Creation Initiatives"... not "poverty alleviation programs"...
This has been the difference between us Nigeria and other wealthy nations like Switzerland, Luxembourg, Singapore...
While they were "planting good policies as trees" that would span for generations... we are "planting seeds of discord as grains" that would yield short term selfish benefits...

Nigeria can work again... even better... what we need is a right Leader... I am available to lead Nigeria...

This is my view with respect to this issue... The contract was endorsed in 2010... and no development was done apart from perimeter fencing until 2016... definitely the expectations of Nigerian government... and the clauses in the legal document should have stated the maximum timeframe for job completion and extension... Even Dangote Refinery shared updates on construction development phases...

From available information... the supposed compensation amount is due to contract termination... not refund of investment made... if the company couldn't establish the facility within 6 years... then they were merely wasting Nigeria time... and hindered other more serious investors...

If this oppression succeed other foreign parties would come into Nigeria.... do shady jobs... then ask for compensation...

In as much as Nigeria has a present issue of leadership flaws... I think our individual patriotic passion should overwhelm this foreign manoeuvres... Because ever kobo used to repay this legal charge would come from our collective taxes...

Let Nigerian government instruct EFCC to trace out corruption record of this company... before, during, and after deal endorsement... then let's issue warrant of arrest... and request Interpol to arrest the culprits...

Therefore I advise Nigerians to stand together against this legal oppression... Let's stand with Nigeria... Let's stand with Ogun state...

The approach of using "mafian manager " approach to crush competitors whether locally or globally shouldn't be encouraged...
Just as a Preacher once said that "Uriah was killed by his loyal bodyguards... rather than the perceived David, or Joab, or the Philistines... because they had knowledge of the evil plot and could have made him escape..."
If I were Nigerian President... this conspiracy won't fly... as long as you are within Nigerian territory... and all government agencies... must buy made-in-Nigeria products... whether produced at high or low quality... except for few exceptions...


...

Yes we can... and we will...

By GOD's grace... Nigeria can recover her losses and be better in less than a year...
But for this to happen... Key step has to be taken...
The Holy Bible says... you put new wine in new bottle... if the reverse is done... the bottle will burst...
The immediate Key step is... Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all his cabinet members... to step down from government power... when this happens... then an interim government is immediately setup for a short period... likely about 3 months... within this interim... a new Leader should emerge either by election or selection... then be sworn into government power....
By GOD's grace... the new Leader ruling in justice and wisdom... will be a positive game changer...
It is on record that Bola Ahmed Tinubu has during his tenure as Lagos state governor... willingly appointed a youth as a one-day governor... so I assume he can willingly_...

IamANigerianMan:

Can you fix Nigeria in one year?

Yes dear... Nigeria can be fixed in one year...

Corrupt people never learn... Abacha stole our common wealth and today Nigeria "cash out" from his loots... even during perilous times as covid...
Let all corrupt workers know that they will restitute willingly or not... in four folds...
To the corrupt leaders... keep looting the treasury and continue to use your energies to build "high walled castles".. very soon Nigerians will find rest from the recovered wealths...

Present Nigeria government with one hand wants to solve issues of increasing business investment and jobs creation... while the other hand is used to frustrate efforts of diligent entrepreneurs...
Dangote, Innoson, and other entrepreneurs whether functioning on small, medium or large scale investments... Please save energy by concentrating on improving your products into brands... Hopefully when a GOD sent government administration comes on board... your sincere efforts will speak for themselves...

Good work Dangote... Kudos... Thank GOD for this milestone...

I see no sense in slamming charges and fines on global online platforms... while Nigerians enjoy her benefits of free access..,
If an online platform offers free access to it's servers... doesn't bully or support such... not a threat to national security... her corporate home country not having dispute with Nigeria... then slamming huge fines are baseless...
Actually I don't see valid points in the charges laid against Meta...

Happy Birthday Seun...
Good job done through Nairaland... Nairaland has been a wonderful Nigerian online town hall meeting forum... well moderated...
Wishing you the best ALMIGHTY GOD has for you in the years ahead...

Truthfully, All of These Are Great. Especially Point 1,2,3 and 5. They are paramount for Nigeria's Growth.


I have some questions:

You didn't mention any solution on the regards of Improving Agriculture And Security in Nigeria.... Don't You See That These Two Issues Are Integral Issues That Needs To Be Attended To in Nigeria ?

Thanks for your response...

Actually, the solutions to be offered are quite elaborate and can not be exhausted in writing... They are better actualized than discussed...

Agriculture... Security... Healthcare... and many more... are the "others" I did mention that will be shared in due course...

But for some reasons I would only discuss on the desired results not the process to achieve them...

1. With regards Agriculture, one of the approaches is to create a mutual framework to encourage communities with vast "non-urbanized" lands to "long-lease" their lands to organizations... for commercial husbandry and plantations...
2. To improve internal and external security, one of the approaches is to ensure true Justice is served and reform the security agencies formation... (I won't share further on this aspect than this...)

Please I am open to further inquiry on what I can offer... You can also specify aspect of our country you do want to know my solutions... (except for issues on security and international politics)...

AImoneyAdder:



Great To Know.


What Are The Kind of Transformation You Would Make For Nigerians If Given The Chance To Become The President of Nigeria Today ?

By GOD's grace... solutions I offer are realistic and beneficial both for resolving immediate and long term issues...

Here are some, summarized in points:..

1. Resolve electricity issue by full and liberal privatisation. I mean registered companies can generate, transmit, and distribute electricity within a territory, whether as alone or within competitors zone.
2. Every government agency must buy products or service made in Nigeria. Exception would exist if such item is no longer produced locally. Purchasing imported item by any Nigerian government agency would be term ultra vires. This would strengthen industrilization.
3. Stop multiple taxation by utilizing the local government to collect taxes, which would be paid into the single TSA. Sharing formula will also be reviewed to include local government in allocation, so that grassroots projects are catered for.
4. Decommission all previous national awardees, then award national honours to deserving individuals or groups. This is one of the approaches of crushing corruption.
5. Overhaul the constitution, this action is wide and elaborate.
Others will be shared in due course...

The ethical rules of engagement for government security forces demand that the institution and her personnel remains neutral while managing internal conflicts...
Yale was right inviting the Police.. while the staff should have ensured orderliness while protesting...
But Nigeria Police trigger happy attitude should cease... other better options like the use of teargas, water cannon, loud speakers, or immediately inviting both parties key persons to the station for dialogue... would have prevented the death of a breadwinner..

I am available...

The root of this arrogance is because Nigeria is governed as one country with 2 constitution systems... that's the normal constitution operating alongside sharia law...
Justice never exist in a system applying double or multiple standards...
It's time we trash the sharia law in Nigeria... and restore Justice, equity, and sanity in Nigeria...
Even if the sky will fall... let it be...
True Justice needs to take root in Nigeria...

The purchasing power of Naira has really crashed... and it seems no big deal to Nigerian government leaders...
They should not quickly forget the common adage... a hungry man is an angry man...
In this present case... it is a case of hungry men doing their best to be calm... but till when?..
Unity and Justice = Peace and Progress...

Wicked acts like this shouldn't go unpunished... There shouldn't be sacred vows whether individuals nor groups...
To build a sane environment of justice... Security agencies and the Judiciary shouldn't spare the perpetrators...

If given the opportunity to be in Aso Rock... by GOD's grace... I know I would positively transform Nigeria...
We have had series of bad episodes of hardened hearts leadership...

The fact of the matter is... can the proposed salary increment by paid be the present Nigerian government... Yes it can... But this path is not a positive indicator of progressive growth in economy...
If all levies and taxes... all goes to the national treasury... and not siphoned by touts nor government officials... then we can have a robust economy...
Also as the topic emphasized... some of the loopholes for excessive spendings by the Nigerian government include:
a. Two arms of legislators
b. Unnecessary creation of new states... whereas some existing states can't fund or complete a good road construction within a month...
Truly Nigeria needs a positive restructuring...

Frequent and sporadic increments in civil servants salaries is not a viable solution... what should be more pressing on the desk of any Nigerian President should be to retrace Naira forex value... I mean NGN1 = USD$1... then a living wage and sustainable revenue can be achieved...

It so disheartening to know that the national and state water board can't map out locations in Nigeria where reasonable clean water pipeline projects should be executed...
Very sad to here people die because of no access to clean water within their communities...
Nevertheless can't the government offer zero percent (0%) tax and levy on factories producing sachet and bottled water as a subsidy to ensure clean portable water...
This will pacify the issue... while we await the big projects...

Kidnapping is same as man-stealing... So a kidnapper is a man-stealer... according to the Holy Bible...
Kidnapping will cease in Nigeria when every kidnapper knows nothing else but death sentence await such...
I commiserate with Mr Fouani... and pray for his speedy release...

Pls let the cartoons reflect not only the negative issues... but also the positive solutions to our common existence...

Well said... Justice Yusuff have said his fact...

But the truth remains that the reason why any man get disappointed is when he place his total confidence on men...
Nigerians erred by placing their total confidence in the judiciary... even with the slogan "all eyes on the judiciary"..
Rather the right thing to do is to place ''all eyes"... all confidence on ALMIGHTY GOD... then GOD will use means beyond our imaginations to achieve HIS good will for our country NIgeria...

The HOLY BIBLE gives the history account of a man called Mordecai... whose niece named Esther was the crowned queen of an empire... then when the oppression of his kinsmen would lead to their destruction... He gave a great counsel to Esther that if she would not be of help at such a time as then... then help will come from somewhere else... but his and the kinsmen trust will be totally on GOD and not on her... Well for those who know the result... it became a testimony of victory...

All hope is not lost... the case will be moved to the Supreme Court...

I see the presidential election result of February 2023 nullified... a fresh election declared... an interim government formed headed by H.E. Olusegun Obasanjo... INEC leadership under H.E. Goodluck Jonathan... and then?..

In summary it is vain to put your confidence in man... put all confidence in GOD...

Stay blest Nigeria... and Stay calm...

To know about the Ministry of the HOLY SPIRIT... and the Gifts HOLY SPIRIT... first you need to be Born Again... John 3:16
The HOLY SPIRIT also bears the title 'GOD'... because HE is the THIRD in the TRINITY...1 John 5:7
For the believer the first impact of the HOLY SPIRIT is to bring repentance through the conviction of sins...John 16:8
The Fruit of the HOLY SPIRIT is the expected evidence of being Born Again in every believer... Galatians 5:22-23
While the Gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT is the Spiritual impartation to enable a believer perform extraordinary acts to enhance the impacts of the Gospel to both the believers and the non-believers... Acts 1:8
Although, many Preachers have assumed that Speaking in Tongues (other unlearned languages) is the initial proof of receiving the Power or Gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT... that is not in all the cases correct... below are some of the following Biblical reasons...
1. The HOLY SPIRIT has been there from the beginning... and have been effective in all named Biblical heroes of Faith... Hebrews 11
2. Some believers received the HOLY SPIRIT without Speaking in unlearned Languages... such as Paul... Acts 9:17,18
3. The Bible clearly states that not all believers that have received the Power of the HOLY GHOST can speak in tongues... 1 Corinthians 12:28-31

If it happens that GODs will... brings forth an Interim Government within this Nigeria political timeline... I would say... former President Olusegun Obasanjo should be the Leader... He is better poised to manage aggressive titans...
Truly at this moments... Nigeria deserves better than this.... Let's keep Praying and expecting...

Although these may have been the case with past elections... this recently concluded Presidential election held in February 2023... have no good legacy to leave behind... nor hope for the good of Nigeria future...

We can upturn event by speaking and acting without violence... Let the Nigerian Judges know that they stand to uphold true justice... or justice will come from outside...

Let's remember Senator Ekweremadu... the justice averted in Nigeria... is being served in a distant land... today he stands as a scape goat... tomorrow many of the wicked corrupters will have similar fate... Let's be wise...

Yes... I do support the cry for justice against the wrong doings of the present INEC chairman... and recommend the appointment of former President Goodluck Jonathan... as the interim INEC Chairman...

I am of the opinion that... although an interim government may seem as an option... but it could be bloody tenure... due to power tussle amongst the titans...

Rather... President Muhammadu Buhari... within this tenure.. can sincerely interfere... by calling for another election... where the Presidential candidates have a second chance to prove if they are accepted by the masses..
.
Alternatively... the Supreme Court can nullify the just concluded Presidential election... and issue order for a fresh Presidential election...

The life and expectations of Nigerians lies in who would then emerge as the then elected Nigerian President...
