e remain racist church

Common thing in schools... That's why some people join gangs/cults to defend themselves..

Back in my secondary school, teachers were even afraid of the bad boys

Tokskob2008:

2005/2006 when Punch was #100 or so. This days a lot of people just read the news online, only the old school papas in their 60s or 70s still buy newspaper.

Since they increased Tuesday Guardian to N250, that's when I stopped buying it..
It used to be very informative...

I was also patronizing those entertainment magazines too, but online don take over

Amotolongbo:
Evening newspaper is the best newspaper to buy

highly forbidden pls

When last did you buy a newspaper ?

The people that do it are those without prepaid meters ...or they've bypassed the system..

Give every customers free prepaid meters before implementing yr nonsense policy

LIES!

Invisible123:
What this means is that band A will now have more power supply, carved out from other bands just to pacify band A and justify the upward review.
In essence, majority of Nigerians that fall under band B and below will now experience poorer supply.

Didn't the government think this through?

You're not getting the trick....
They will suppy some others 20hrs plus to make more money

This govt jus like to play with our intelligence.... If you say 20hrs plus , no subsidy, then others may likely receive 20hrs plus becus we know the power is
usually kept unused....
Nobody shl believe that band A lies...
I know that here in Ikorodu, they can give us 20hrs daily, but they minimize it due to expenses...

If you cannot give everyone free meters, then you don't mean anything good to us...
Simply use the subsidies to provide free meters to all customers, so that we can have an option weda to remain with your grid or shift away.... When your revenue drops, then you will know how to regulate prices..
Thieves!

Today is March 8th & it's your anniversary...as seen on wikipedia

Seun, mynd44 una don forget??

My number which I have registered since & linked was barred last week àfter I even did a verification and got a notification notice from Glo...

So I took it to their office to complain. They gave me a form to enter my details, and the next thing they said is that i have to get another number...
This is a line linked to all my platforms online and business, inçluding email, whatsapp...etc

I just left quietly before I kill person there... The next time I go there, I go scatter their office... E b like say na dat kyne madness dem need

simonlee:
After a long and fruitful weekend, I decided to chill small with roadside roasted chicken. Got to the place and the Mallam said it's 3k. After some back and forth, I paid N2,500 and he packaged it for me. On getting home, I unwrapped the paper and suddenly realised why it was this expensive. The cap and eyes staring at me got me feeling some worth guilty...like, "this Sapa never reach you abi?"
How much would this cost in your area?
I bought this in southern Kaduna by the way

Laff wun k me here

I hope this fatha will not backslide someday

Asake's Only Me Vs Tuface's Only Me

I just listened to Asaka's song titled, Only Me - the same song whose video portrayed him dressed in priestly vestments with his "co-priests" as they carry out their form of worship as though they are on a mission to outdo Tinubu who has remained undefeated in the art of arranging fake priests and bishops.

After listening to the song, what I said immediately was, "Where is the song, has it started?"

I don't know about you, but the song is so empty (and this is me, not having the right words to describe how wack it is).

The song started with:

"We get money-money, we get money" (He said this almost like 30 times in the 2:45 minute song. You can go and count it if you doubt me.)

Then, in what appears to be the verses, all I kept hearing was:

Automatic,
traffic
I'm classy,
Make dem give me space
put body
collateral damage
Only me

Then, he went back to "We get money-money..." until the song ended.

What a song!

Walahi, una dey try. How do you listen to such a song and your IQ is not affected?

If you don't understand how wack the song is, try to compare it with 2 Baba song of 2010 which has the same title "Only Me".

I want you to listen to just one verse of that song by 2Baba:

🎶If to say na just me
I'll be living like I don't care
Live my life unto no body dey here
If na just me I'll be doing anyhow
Because nobody go dey there to challenge me
Nobody supernatural
Live versus spirit of the carnvial
The personality no matter at all
Individuality cannot make us tall
I sing I sing for all y'all
Don't let anybody push you to the wall
Na community na in make us tall
Secret society na in break us all
I don't want to be talking like a preacher at all
I no want to do as I sabi pass all
I know say eno be everybody e sabi play ball
But arise o compatriot if Nigeria call
So make you just dey do your thing make I do my thing
Live and let living instead of to be feeling like a king
On top of nothing stop the bragging on top the posing
Because you know say all na vanity vanishing🎶

It is now 14 years since 2 Baba dropped that song, and even though it is a secular song, not only is the song evergreen with lots of hard work put into it, the song is so deep that even monks will find it worth listening to.

This is Tuface saying he is "classy" without using the word "classy". He does not need to be shouting "we get money-money" 30 times.

I think there is something wrong with the present standard of songs from some of our so-called Afrobeat singers.

This is the time when the whole world listens to Nigeria and plays Nigeria songs, but what these artists do these days is package empty songs like how Asake did in "Only Me", then get ThankGod Omori to give a high-definition video and cinematography with a little touch of controversy so that it will cause traffic to their page.

This is why I am not surprised about the video. Ask yourself, what really is the connection between the video and the song? Music video is supposed to depict the song, but in this case, the video is unrelated.

That is how you know how empty and wack a song is and also the artist. This is even someone who was once nominated for a Grammy.

The whole theatrics of using the church and things for mass is so that people will watch the nonsense. Unfortunately, it works all the time because as of today, the song is approaching 1 million views on YouTube.

So, while Asake disrespected the church by allowing such mockery, he first disrespected the intelligence of his listeners by packaging empty songs that can reduce people's IQ. All these happen because we allowed it and because we will play and stream it, and because tomorrow, one church minister will even invite him to perform at his or her birthday party.

It is sad!

What Prices Of Goods & Services Shocked You Most?

The Simple Actions President Bola Tinubu Must Take Now.
PLEASE SHARE UNTIL IT GETS TI HIM.
By Bolu John Folayan, PhD
VERY SHORT TERM (Right now. This month latest)
1. The golden rule when you face a crisis of any sort is to allay fears of those concerned, including you, the leader. Fear kills more than bullets. Mr. President Sir, get on TV and radio and reassure Nigerians that you are on top of the situation. It's not a long speech at all: max 5 minutes.
Translate the speech into as many local languages as possible. Let the governors and parliamentarians do the same to percolate to the grassroots.
2. in that speech, plead for more understanding. And tell Nigerians you will address them again, in four weeks latest, on measures to address the situation.
Reassure them that you will tackle the situation decisively. Take the advice I will give you here to your Cabinet and National Council of State so they can make inputs and perfect them.
3. Announce cuts in government expenditure esp. Lifestyle of political leaders.
Sir, don't you wonder how Nigerians who bear these "unbearable" inflation survive? It's not rocket science, Mr. President. The first rule under hyper-inflation is to go back to that rudimentary Economics we learned in the secondary school: Scarcity...Scale of Preference... Choices... Opportunity Cost.
Excuse me sir, this present crisis doesn't need economic experts to solve. We only need to apply that common sense that has been made so difficult!
a) Prices are soaring because of scarcity.
b) So, our money cannot buy all the things we used to buy.
c) We now have to make a scale of preference. We need the things we need (not want) on a scale of preference. Non-essential things are off that list right away!
d) We now make choices (priorities) purchases within that scale. This means that even not all the items that make that scale will make it in our Naira allocation.
e) We now increase our earning to cover those items on that scale (remember they are essential) but even essential things vary in terms how essential. Some can tarry for a while.
Summary: When in hyperinflation, don't panic. Panic will complicate the problem. And may even kill you. Smile broadly. Then, Think. Plan. Be honest. Have that will power.
Eh sir. That is how we have been surviving o. Every poor, even illiterate Nigerian family heads; this is what they have been doing sir. They may not know any economic terms, but that's what they do.
And I am writing here, as a journalist with common sense, is for you as the Head of the Nigerian Household Economy, just do the above.
Expenditure saved is income earned. It starts from. You Mr. President
That moves us to the short term.
SHORT TERM (Next six months)
1. Stop all new civil projects at the federal level for the rest of the year. Advice states to do the same. Divert money saved to agriculture. It takes between 3 to eight months for most food crops in Nigeria to be ripe for harvest. Thank God the food crisis is happening at the very beginning of the agric season. And sir. a farmer that doesn't plant at the beginning of the farming season, won't reap anything at harvest time. That's what Adam Smith meant in his Theory of Factors of Production. It doesn't need PhD to understand and apply sir
2. Continue funding of already approved civil projects so that real income will not shrink in the blue collar sector. Do mostly direct labour so income can circulate to Nigerians
3. Import strategic food e.g. rice, beans, tomatoes, pepper, groundnut oil, etc. There is no shame in this sir. It's food first in the hierarchy of needs. Whatever it will take in the short run, make food available to Nigerians. Don't go into who caused the food problem, for now. Ebi kii wo inu, ki nkan mii o wobe sir. (A hungry person will not listen to any other thing except you give him or her food). The dead don't eat food.
4. Overhaul NNPC to start pushing locally refined petrol (and diesel for the real sector). Meanwhile give NNPC dollar at controlled rate to import fuel. Call it subsidy or whatever name, if you like. Peg sales to controlled prices and monitor ruthlessly. We are in serious crisis. Be ruthless sir. Some people have said you can fast track Dangote or our corrupted refineries to do this. Anyhow. Just make fuel available sir. Again, Adam Smith! Production!
5. Identify growers of major foodstuff and support them directly through state governments
6. Release CBN probe report and Government paper. Eh sir, you are wasting too must time on this.

MEDIUM TERM (6-12 MONTHS)
1. Probe the banking sector and follow up with an enabling law to jail culprits. Trial should be through Tribunals, not courts. Trial should be statute barred so that in 10 months, the Supreme Court can give final judgments. From Tribunal to Appeal Court to Supreme Court! Eh sir! I know many of them are your paddy. They have had enough, sir. Tell them "O to ge". (It's enough). They will understand, if they are honest. They have bed Nigerian for too long. Nigerian must not die in your hand. (Sing Sonny Okosuns hit track them "Which way Nigeria...Let's save Nigeria. So Nigeria won't die
2. Start Civil Servants Miscellaneous Offences Tribunal to jail corrupt civil servants. Like the bankers, the civil servants will also understand. Those doing the damage in the system are not more than 2 per cent of civil servants! You know this Mr. President.
3. Rejig the National. Food Policy to plan how we can be food sufficient. Eh sir, we have not being able to feed ourselves in Nigeria. Bible says a man not able to feed his family or household is not fit to head that family. It means if you are president and the nation is not self-sufficient in food production (not food importation), then you are not fit to be president, sir. I am not the one saying so sir. It's God, because you are the Head of this Household called Nigeria now by His grace. God has blessed us too much. What we cannot grow in Nigeria does not exist!
4. License new agric banks (at least 10 of them) facing agriculture funding squarely). They must be operational before the end of this year nationwide. To hell with all these criminal banks. , license at least 50 small medium industry banks and 50 agriculture micro finance banks to start operations before December 2024. Commercial farming should be the goal here. They must be monitored to stay within their portfolios.
5. Make 40 modular refineries strategically located nationwide to be operational. State and local governments can save 50 per cent of their allocations for four months to own not more than 20 per cent equity in these small refineries within their states. This will not only solve the petrol problem on time but also serve as IGR for them in the near future.

LONG TERM (one year and above)
1. Sustain medium-term policies highlighted above. In strategic road mapping, execution is key sir.
2. Resume civil works in the public sector to create employment and incomes.
3. Start agro processing for exports. No export of raw agriculture products again
4. Rejig all Federal Universities of Agric to face agriculture or scrap them. State governments should start Universities of Agric. A state like Ogun with excess varsities and polytechnics should covert quite a number of them to Agric varsities with emphasis on practical training. All polytechnics should be converted to technical Universities to work out how to manufacture so many things that we import, preparatory to banning their importation. Local industry cannot survive if we don't ban these imports.
Eh sir! Adam Smith is turning in his grave, cursing Nigeria. We are poor because we do not produce, our taste is strictly for what we don't produce!! Anything. We can never be rich like that, unless we go into banking, politics or Religion! Each time Nigerian Customs says it's made billions of Naira, I cry. They should make income from excise income, (exports) not imports. Imports increase the need for dollars! Exports bring in dollars! Common sense nah.
6. Ban frivolous imports. Notice should have been given right now that in 12 months, these useless imports "are gone." They are the "subsidies" that must be "gone", not the one on petrol. In the real sense, Mr. President, you actually "subsidize" these frivolous items (toothpick, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. name it. Enter any Supermarket or market, 80 per cent of goods there are bought with dollars. So, when dollar goes up, the prices must go up". Eh sir, ban them! Don’t follow Reno Omokri's lame advice that Nigerians should boycott imported goods. Omokri lives abroad. We here can only buy what we see.
Enabling laws are needed here, so that if you display banned commodities, you go to jail. Please expand this for effective implementation of these laws.
7. My President, I have not suggested Price Controls. They don’t work. I am scholar. I am driven by theories driven by research. There is no economic theory bigger than the Theory of Demand and Supply. So, do not waste time and money setting up price Controls? The moment supply exceeds demand, prices will crash. And when we have excess food, we store, process and export to countries like Niger, Mali. We export to USA and UK. Check out the foodstuff prices in the UK. They are high sir. We can make good dollars and pounds exporting food to them there sir.
Finally sir, execution is important. Our problem has always been lack of executive will, not lack of ideas. I have never been scared of any crisis in my life. As the crisis is brewing, God is already giving me ideas to tackle it.
And it's so for most Nigerians at household levels.
See Mr. President, this economic crisis is no big deal if you want to tackle it. I swear. There is no need for any economic wizardry. We need just common sense and discipline or willpower. It's the same way we manage our household income. It's the same way my students are managing their incomes and expenditures! My students are fine! They are not happy, but they are fine. They are still making their hairs and coming to classes! But many of them have reduced what they eat and how many times they beat daily... Me too, I no longer fry eggs. I boil them. That way I save money on groundnut oil, salt, gas, onion and pepper. And if yam is not careful, I will ban it, like I did bread. No food is bigger than me in my household. I call the shots. Meat is only fir my daughter now. At over 50, I don't need meat. I take fish. Local fish. Not imported fish
It's only our government and national assembly that have refused to change. They still use uncommon sense. Every household in Nigeria is applying the common sense. Eh sir,
Economics is common sense made difficult!
Thank you for taking these actions, Mr. President.
Your patriotic subject,
B.J. Folayan, PhD

Pls give am immediate solution to curb this current situation

How can this current economic problem be resolved??

Give yr economic advise now

Unlike some churches where you just approach the pastor as a new jobless member, 1,2,3, they fix you somewhere... Catholic churches, despites their wide coverage, still don't know how to fix their members in jobs and it's affecting the youth population there....

At least, they should be doing meaningful empowerment programs for their members....

Before you criticize me here, I'm part of the system, & not impressed

They shl jst enrol at yahoo college

Whoeva is handling Oshoala's page shl b v.careful with the language they use, because I don't think she's the one dropping those words there... If na she, I must say guys go dey run from her

Some people just confuse today... They've even suspended ash wednesday to mid night

Despite the jappa tide flowing allover, there are some people who don't have jappa in their agenda even though they are not doing well...
Some reasons may include weather, culture, food, caring for loved ones here, lack of strict laws here, etc.
They've decided to remain in their "comfort zone"...

Are you one of dem

Do you still attend house fellowship?

Anything away from the church compound is a NO for me... I no go go where person go start to dey give me body language

Una pastor go come preach, after enta club go chill with Puff Daddy
