In January 2020, it came to light that Buhari’s daughter, Hanan, paid a visit to Bauchi with the presidential jet "on a study tour... as part of her academic programme" at a London university where she was enrolled for a master's degree, according to Premium Times!So much impunity and lawlessness 12 Likes |

Ofcoz it doesn't make sense when we read about Nigeria getting broke..... We're extremely blessed and rich and we generate taxes on a daily. Even on weekends and non-working days, the government still generate tons of money from VATs. SMS, transfer, calls and browsing. But sha, if Nigeria must rid itself of corruption, it must come with a price.. and that will be WAR. The rich folks and corrupt politicians and their families must lose their lives. 14 Likes |

Forget, Nigeria is broke, let the poor continue to make sacrifices and pay even with their lives, and their senators continue to buy cars of 160million Naira. Enough suffering will reset everyone's brain. Nigerians have not suffered enough to be sincere. 18 Likes 3 Shares |

Hmmm Wait for nairalanda1 to come and explain to you how Nigeria is broke. Nigeria is broke because the political elites are corrupt. Imagine a former gov stealing billions of pounds yet discharged and acquitted by the judiciary only for him to get to UK and plead guilty. Lol. He's here!!

The truth is, we are broke, and that is all the more reason why our leaders living the lifestlyles of the Rich is awful. Anyway, here is why we are poor. 1.Our oil revenue is basically enough for a nation of less than 10 million people, not 200 million people 2.Our economy is not diversifed. 80% of our revenue comes from oil. 3.Because of instability of oil prices, we never have oil where it should be, meaning we have to take loans to keep head above water when oil is low, and pay back when oil prices are high...which is what happened in the past, and what is happening now. 4.Our debt as at 2022 was twice our budget. Yeah, that's scary. Debt servicing eats as much as 90% of our oil revenue as at today. 5.Again we sell raw materials. We don't use them to make usable product for the world market. We sell them...for 10 billion, think we have made bank, while the materials we sold are used to make products worth 2-3 times that...and we see none of the money. 6. The country is run on subsides, because Nigerians are too broke to pay full price for anything. We only got rid of petrol subsides (which is in anyway turning out to be a lie)....because we ran out of money to maintain it 10 years ago. (E get why I say am). Power companies are fully subsidised...or else they would have long since collapsed. And it isn't only Nigeria...every African nation south of the Sahara, has the same story. Ghana which many people love to praise is now having blackouts because they cannot pay for the gas....because cocoa prices have not been high enough anyway. We have to diversify our economy and become an exporter of manufactured goods and services. Being an oil rich nation is basically a poor boy wearing rich clothes he cannot afford. YES-that includes countries like Saudi. And it still boils down to one thing.....BAD LEADERSHIP. BAD LEADERSHIP. Leaders failed to take us the right way, and contributed to it by the corruption and stealing. And still do so, (that's for ye APC supporters). Here we are. 23 Likes |

In 2015, you can become a millionaire in $ If you have 150 million naira. Rate was N150/$. Today, you need 1.3 billion naira, to become a millionaire in Dollars. You see why we are wailing?! Except you don't do transactions in dollar. We're paying x7 of what we had 8yrs ago.

People reason with there feet when they want to make others look bad. Nigeria is very broke and that is a fact. YOU NEED TO CONSIDER THE POPULATION OF THE PEOPLE THAT DEPEND ON A RESOURCES BEFORE YOU CONCLUDE. Divide our wealth by our population and see that we are not rich at all when compared to other Africa countries say less European countries. We are just growing too fast |

Definitely Nigeria and Nigerians are not broke, anybody that says otherwise, spit into his or her eyes. Since Nigerians don't want to wake up, okay una go wake up by force. Bobo Chicago should keep doing what he's doing, roll out another policy to suffer the citizens, normally they will surely adapt to the suffering (no be today them don they adapt). Petrol is 660 in my area, anytime I drive around to go get petrol, I look at the displayed price and I look I Nigerians buying it, I go just shake my head (what a pity). Notice everybody buying it and smiling, nobody Cary coffin for head protest, coward citizens. If you talk your fellow affected human go tell you shetup we are in this together, barely one year lol, let see how it goes. I don't want to talk about food or jobs,or other basic amenities you ought to enjoy as a citizen. 1 Like |
