AUDACIOUS LEADERSHIP & TINUBU'S TEMPLATE

Nigeria can experience greatness in a sporadic way that will birth the desires we dream of.

We lost a window of opportunity to sow between 1999-2007 across Nigeria & that was the exact time Lagos was fortunate to have a THINKING LEADER. ImageImageImageImage
This is year 2023 and there seems to be HARVEST of Legacy PROJECTS in Lagos.
Here's my point, Governor Tinubu had 8 years at a stretch at the inception of this democracy just like other 35 other States in Nigeria.

What has happened in the past 22 years in the Sub-Nationals pls? ImageImageImageImage
For context, There are at least TWO major Audacious Investment Governor Tinubu made in his 8 years that have turned to a massive harvest today in Lagos: Lekki Free Trade zone & Eko Atlantic City. Audacious & daring mind that saw "Dubai" inside the Ocean.👇
Within 8 years, Governor Tinubu of Lagos created the Lekki Free Trade Zone. Despite being in the opposition, the President who was of PDP was on ground to celebrate his audacious step in 2006.

Now, the harvest is #LekkiDeepSeaPort, Dangote Refinery, Dangote Fertilizer, etc... ImageImageImageImage
On 4th April 2007, Governor Tinubu was talking about permanent solution to Bar Beach problem in Lagos..announcing to Lagosians permanent solution to the Bar Beach issue. That was the coming forth of Eko Atlantic City. We now have Multibillion projects there. NIGERIA CAN DO IT!
No, Gov Tinubu didn't take any of those steps just because "Lagos was former FCT", & Gov Elrufai of Kaduna State has practically demonstrated this now in his 8Yrs that any State in Nigeria can compete in Economy & Infrastructure provided they have thinking & AUDACIOUS leaders!
So Gov Tinubu within his 8 years built something that others could build upon & Gov Fashola, Ambode & Sanwoolu have demonstrated that Sub National can build prosperous Nigeria at their pace.
So, imagine that we had worthy 35 Governors btw 1999-2007 that successors could BUILD on! ImageImage
What is the focal point? We need to concentrate more on the Sub Nationals instead of focusing so much at the FG.
Kano State has been fortunate with Governors, Donald Duke was the only Governor so far we can remember Legacy Project traced to in Cross River, Akpabio in Akwa Ibom...
Many States are just finding their bearing after 16yrs of practicing Democracy.
Audacious Leaders now springing up: Elrufai for Kaduna, Umuahi for Ebonyi & a few others.
Lagos should no longer be a victim of its own success or the victim of the failure of other States!
WAKE UP!

I listened to EVERYTHING FESTUS OSIFO the PENGASSAN President said in this 37 minute interview.
I have never had a complete package tutorial around Oil and Gas issue like this👌👌

No Meda personality has ever brought this level in clarification to the issues around Dangote Refinery, NNPC, Pricing, Crude Supply, TAM in NNPC, Downstream sector, FX floating etc....
FESTUS OSIFO the Pengassan President giving real breakdown of how Oil and Gas costing is calculated and other issues around Dangote PMS price and why NNPC is the one buying alone for now....
FESTUS OSIFO 👌👌👌

Now, it's ok not to agree with everything he said, but don't block your mind from learning, unlearning and relearning....

FUEL SUBSIDY, LOCAL REFINERY, PMS PRICE:

The conversation must continue UNTIL we know what we want. There is practically no other way to get a cheap price of PMS outside SUBSIDY. All these noise and emotional talks are just not making any logical sense.

ALL the leading Presidential candidates said SUBSIDY MUST GO & WE ALL VOTED FOR THEM......We simply agreed with ANYONE who won to remove subsidy, that's what it means.

We cannot spend $40bn on subsidy and less than half on education & health - Peter ObiLabour Party's presidential candidate on @ARISEtv
You see all those new argument about, "I will put some things in place before removing subsidy" is just illogical brain dots....

The question was clear enough before election & the answer by Tinubu the winner, Atiku and Peter Obi was CLEAR enough...By June 2023, Subsidy would go.

Every other gymnastic statement AFTER the winner removed subsidy was just lazy talk without any substance, Nigerians and I meant all of us would have felt the pain EXACTLY the way we are feeling it now irrespective of who won and removed subsidy with FX market unification.
The Old Argument by individuals who didn't want to go straight about removal was that "at least I will ensure LOCAL REFINERY is in place before removing subsidy"....

That in itself is a RED FLAG of a deceiver seeking to be elected by all means, NO PRESIDENT sworn in among them in May29 2023 could have fixed anything in LOCAL REFINERY in June their 1st month.

That's a Presidential candidate propaganda. You couldn't have shit before removing subsidy you promised to remove IMMEDIATELY.

FG RICE REVOLUTION POLICY AND WHY THINGS MESSED UP....

I have found out that once you join emotional drama of pointing accusing fingers at the Politicians ONLY, everyone seems COOL & OK.
Ok, let me say Politicians messed it up so that you will be happy & you can logically join this conversation....

Buhari started something in 2016 that the Elites were against when he said we must produce what we consume....A task force was set up.Image
Image
A panel was set up and every stake holder was involved in 2016....
The purpose of this policy well defined:
"A policy document seen by Reuter late last year showed that the Government aims to be self sufficient in both rice and wheat production within three years"

HELLconomists on Social Media with big big degrees were everywhere & they were against everything...."Why closing border, you want to kpai Nigerians"Image
When Govt stopped importation, we were against it, When Govt plans to start importation, we are against it.....We are against EVERYTHING but that's not even the focus now🤣🤣

By August 2019, Govt had moved further to close border and the purpose of that closure among other things, was to encourage LOCAL PRODUCTION....Image

THE VALUELESS OFFICIAL DOLLAR RATE....

Let's even have a conversation on this OFFICIAL DOLLAR many have been talking about and they want Govt to peg it at N500....

Who used to have unhindered access to OFFICIAL RATE?

1. Politicians irrespective of their party affiliation. Are you?Image
2. The high and the mighty in the Society who could simply call people at CBN to arrange thousands of dollars for them at official rate.....Are you?

3. Top guys in the Banking sectors, Top Govt officials in MDAs (I can give example with location sha)..

4. Top business men and other elites in that class.
5. A few Nigerians trying to sort their admission out in foreign Countries...Out of these, some still gamed the system in collaboration with bankers (If you know, you know)... Are you one of these people?

If YOU or anyone around you have been part of these groups (maybe except group 5), you ought to be in jail.

Let me give you an example of DARK DEALINGS, just one😇😇
