Obi who imports virtually everything wants to make Nigeria a producing country?! Hahahaha..

more like atiku or Abacha claiming they will end looting.

Eriokanmi:
So, Wine and ketchup is what you term virtually everything, right? I can understand. Wine materials and apple can't thrive in our climate, just so you know. Go and check that. Ordinary toothpick, we import. We can produce it here

what is obi producing apart from importing?

Werey said wine materials cannot thrive in Nigeria's climate

The length these zombidients will go to sound stupid is amazing.

Iwo ati awon ara ile rę ni werey. You guys can't utter a word without insulting. Show me where apple is grown in Nigeria

Wines Apple's and ketchup ARE FOREIGN GOODS...MEANT for the RICH. I've said it several times PO belongs to the Bourgeois Class and Wont really understand what the poor are going through.....he is a billionaire

what happens to him investing in growing our local tomato pepper onions and package them for local and foreign consumption.....what business does a man that has not eaten 3 times a day have with expensive foreign wines and champagne?.
There are tons of naturally endowed african fruits that grow and wastes all over the place but PO decides its apples that dont grow here that he will import....why will a poor man go for expensive imported apples when he has heap home grown oranges and banana to eat....let people whose climate is good for growing apples grow and consume apples .
Then una dey wonder why dollars dey head to 1000.....we import things we can grow abundantly wasting scarce forex on frivolous apples and wines ....who dat epp

We don't produce apple in Nigeria and apple isn't for the rich. It costs less than the beer poor people drink to stupor and more nourishing to the body. You don't have to be a billionaire to either eat or import apple.

That said, in response to your post on importation, don't forget he brought into the country foreign lager or beer manufacturer when in government. Nigerians used to import that beer before then. The beer is consumed in Nigeria and also being exported to Benin Republic and other African countries. He created enabling environment for innoson to thrive. The majority of innoson vehicles are for export to African countries as well.

I understand you. I was just trying to prove a point that, even though Obi imports, they're items which can't be produced in our environment cos of weather. He once imported beer too. But he thought instead of doing this, why not create employment by inviting these people to Nigeria and be brewing locally and he achieved that. Have you heard of Erisco Foods? Peter Obi is his motivator. He personally encouraged him to stop importing tomato paste and cite his own company in Nigeria. Erisco foods have been producing tomato paste in Nigeria for years. They're located at Oregun in Ikeja. I drive past this factory each time, to cut off awolowo way traffic. The man today is a multi billionnaire. Imagine someone donating 100m naira to communities every year. I won't be surprised if this man donates hugely towards Obi's campaign. Obi made him. If obi couid do all these as governor and within his own capacity, he would do more by driving into the country more investors at a bigger capacity bro. I'm not igbo but I believe in this man cos he speaks my language. We need to be productive as a nation.

See apc and pdp today as they share money. This morning, Arapaja was in the news for returning 36m naira credited in his account by the pdp NWC. The other day, it was 1bn allegation by wike to Ayu. We can't develop in such a mess bro. Our politicians are eating our future away.

Which are things WE DONT REALLY NEED.
I dont support importing anything FOOD....we can feed ourselves if only we want to. Any importer of any food item is an enemy of the economy to me...if we need to import it can be technology or energy or medicine .....NOT FOOD.
My opposition to PO is ideological not personal. I just can't see him as anything but a CAPITALIST LIKE the others. In my earlier submission i mentioned globalization...which is the capitalist dream....not bothering if the poor masses are hurt. For instance PO sees profit in importing which is cheaper than put ting up a factory that will employ these poor folks.....with importation there are no jobs so how has he affected the poor man positively except giving him false hope of eating cheap Taiwan rice or feeling he is enjoying by eating South African apples.

Truly speaking, we don't need to import everything but you'd agree with me that there are things we can't produce locally and i cited apple and wine materials. Our soil can't grow them, except you want to install AC on farmlands, powered 24/7 with constant electricity. I remember a day I visited a town called Montreux in Switzerland by train from Geneva. I saw some plants looking colourful and binded with ropes. I asked my partners what it was and he said that plant you're seeing is used in making redwine. I saw it in frankfurt too. They can't thrive here. We'd end up wasting our resources ni. In that case, you can't avoid importing such. Just as you can't stop people from eating apple because we want to be self reliant. What the government has done over the years is place heavy import duties on such things. Apple is one of them.

Quoting from your previous post For instance PO sees profit in importing which is cheaper than put ting up a factory that will employ these poor folks.......Obi brought in a brewery from Europe as previously mentioned and this had attracted thousands of employment. He was importing beer from them before they came to Nigeria. In addition, the federal government makes money from them in taxes, Anambra state too. I also mentioned erisco foods which came up as a result of his efforts. He told the man to stop importing and establish his tomato paste factory here. Then erisco was always going to Obi's Bank, Fidelity to borrow for import of tomato paste. Nigeria used to import tomato paste before erisco was founded.

There are some goods we can't stop importing because we cannot produce them here. If Nigeria wants to invest in atomic energy tomorrow, we'd be importing uranium from Niger or Russia cos we dont have such here . Same applies to countries who don't have oil. America imports agricultural products too but mainly those that can't be grown on the American soil, likewise Europe. Every country has been blessed by God and this gives them comparative advantage over others. Nigeria is one of those countries.

Obi's recent trips to the west were based on direct investments of those in the Diaspora, that's a step in the right direction. He's been to Egypt to find out how they have been able to generate up to 50kmw of electricity, etc. That's why I said obi speaks my language. This country is seriously yearning for development. To make this happen,we need a change of direction,not by embezzling or sharing our common wealth as seen today. Imagine Addo Dogowa bragging of 5 wives and 30 children. Is that an achievement? Our law makers feed fat for doing nothing. I don't blame the guy. The system encourages this. Ask him how many investments has he and how many are employed through those investments and you'd not hear any tangible thing from his mouth.

If Obi fumbles( I hope he doesn't) , he won't come back for 2nd term. Same pvc used in electing him is what we'd use to show him the way out. We've slept for too long in this country.

Don't mind hafeez, aka haffaze777 . He has plenty monikers on nairaland. I know him very well through his style of commenting. I don't know what he's using multiple monikers for. He's tackled me and challenged my state of origin here severally, hiding under different monikers. I think NL mods should begin probing people with different minikers by asking their motives for doing that here. I'm Yoruba by birth, my mum is Yoruba, a lagosian and I claim lagos. She hails from pa Jakande family and I've only been to Akoko Edo 4 times so far. We have all our investments in Lagos. My dad was even born here lol. So, by all standards I'm Lagosian, even more lagosian than Emilokan that he's blindly supporting.

Tinubu wasn't born here. He came from Iragbiji in Osun state which he's not even denying on his Wikipedia page that he schooled in Osun but hid where in osun. Tinubu is lagos name not Osun. He adopted the name while i look real. My name is yoruba cos we hail from yoruba side of edo. If not for the river osę, we'd have been under Isua Akoko in ondo state cos my dad's town there speaks same dialect as isua akoko. The majority of those supporting Emilokan are from either osun or kwara state, only claiming lagos. We know them. The current deputy governor of lagos is from ogun state, his dad, a king in ogun died recently sef.

Leave him and allow him to keep wasting his time. I tried explaining to you because you mentioned me. I've always ignored him

If ordinary Nigerians without billions stashed inside Pandora secret foreign bank account can grow apples and grapes for wine, what stops the greedy consumption container importer from investing in grapes and apple farming?

Tomato is plentiful in Nigerian so how hard is it to set up ketchup plant or tomato processing plant like other Nigerians.

So? I said only in yorubaland would someone collect money and still lie. Its the truth because some of us are bigots and liars. I won't say because I'm yoruba and exonerate my tribespeople of what some of them are capable of doing...so how does this translate into me denying yoruba?. Isn't it the truth? Most of our politicians are liars, including Tinubu. How can someone claim 70 years when hes over 85 years old? Was that the way pa awo and pa jakande lived? Despite Tmac his inlaw bursting his bubble, that tinubu lied of his age, your likes still went ahead and defended him. Alhaja, his first wife died in 2018 at age 74, did he marry his sister? Tinubu is lying with grey hair you see? Same as you his followers...you can see youre the opuro here, you and the super liar you're following? He stole lagos money but lying about it. Where did he get the 3 private jets from? Is he Dangote? Dangote as rich as he is had only one jet.

Truth is bitter and so will it remain. You can go on and defend evil deeds and think Nigeria will move forward, the same way you've been defending the ailing Tinubu and his age, despite the obvious. You're one of those retarding the growth of Nigeria. Refrain from lies. Always call a spade it's name, my advice to you and your fellows, who share same lying ideology.

If I'm not yoruba that i claim to be, may God punish me, even till death. AMIN!

Eriokanmi:
Obi said a thing, which gave me hope about Nigeria.... PRODUCTIVITY

No country survives without being productive. Oil money can't sustain us. See our currency today. We have vast lands all over the country but nothing is being grown there. Along Lagos Ibadan Expressway, Benin Ore Expressway, Onitsha-Enugu highway, Keffi-Jos-Yobe highway...in fact you could travel 6 hours along adamawa-taraba highway without seeing a single hut. It's all forest. Yet, we import virtually all we eat, including rice.

The current administration closed the border for 2 solid years cos of rice import without making alternative arrangements to cushion the likely effects for the period. No agric loan to unemployed graduates , no farm settlements, no agric subvention, no skils acquisition programmes on growing improved yields of rice and modern production of same in place, etc. A reasonable government would go to Thailand and study their system. How they thrive in this business and used rice proceeds to grow their economy for decades etc. They just went and closed border claiming it would strengthen our naira. Yet, naira keeps depreciating. A dollar is 735 today. They kept shifting blames here and there for their failures and emefiele said it was aboki fx speculation that caused naira to keep depreciating. Aboki fx isn't there anymore yet, dollar rate hasn't stopped going up.

In late 70s, Indonesia came to Nigeria to learn of how Nigeria did it. They came to learn of how to grow oil palm. Gen. Obasanjo was the head of state then. They spent some days and took some seedlings along. Today, Indonesia is the world largest exporters of Palm Oil. That's a serious-minded country. Shamefully, Nigerians import palm oil from Indonesia today. Na bad leadership cause am. OAU was built with cocoa proceeds, ABU with groundnuts and cotton, etc.

The problem of Nigeria is leadership. The time to get it right is now. Our leaders caused all the divisions as seen today. We have all it takes to become a productive nation..massive and fertile land, population. In fact, most of the EU countries wished they had our kind of population. They'd have made the best of it. Each time I go to Germany, my partners always complain, that their workforce is filled with old people...ageing population. They apply fertiliser on every crop grown. Nigeria is just populated for nothing. My friend travelled to America some years back. We left together. When he got to America, he stayed. He was overworking himself, doing 2-3 jobs in a week. He broke down one day. I told him guy, you wan die ni? He said he's been counting celining for years in naija cos no job. He wanted doing farming but no loan from banks he doesn't have collateral. He said orę, ję kin breakdown jare (meaning friend,.let me breakdown pls) . You can now wonder how much he'd have made and contributed to the economy, had he applied same energy working for himself back home.

Tinubu could have bragged of some development but the environment made it happen. He met those templates already in place. Virtually all corporate headquarters are in my state, oil and gas too. Was it tinubu who wooed them to lagos? What of SMEs? Gulf oil now chevron had been there since the days of Pa Jakande. He started and drew the master plan of the lagos literail they're talking about today. He wanted connecting every part of lagos with rail after completing the then largest housing in Africa. He finished the housing in less than 3 years and gave a timeline of 8 years for the lagos literail before buhari coup stopped him...he'd have achieved it. He opened up lekki and epe road. One of his estates is in same area till date in the area and bus stop called Jakande. He died without owning a single helicopter.
Let tinubu go to Anambra and develop it too naw, a state where there was nothing before Obi came and turned their IGR around, a state with such a small population. Lagos was safer decades ago than it is today. Anyone who's fallen victim of attacks would bear a witness to this. Lagos development can be credited to the successive governors who had served here, not one man. I wish Buba Marwa had done 8 years in Lag. There'd have been discipline and far more development than what we see today. He remains my fav, after ambode.

Vote Obi for a prosperous Nigeria. Ire oo!
