Lipscomb:
Imagine if its someone from other tribe become a president and the country in disarray like this all the Yoruba would have come out to do protest and shut everywhere down.

So many protests have been held in Lagos, Abeokuta, Ibadan and Oshogbo apart from the protests in Kano,Kaduna ,Minna, Port Harcourt and other places.

The Northerners engaged in violent protests destroying their cities with resultant loss of lives, which solutions did it bring?

Can protests solve economic problems?

Nigeria has deep seated accumulated problems and

the current problems we are facing now are the problems we didn't solve 10-15 years ago.

Iamanoited:
DANGOTE SHOULD FIX N450 PER LITER AS WHOLESALE PRICE AND N500 PER LITER AS RETAIL PRICE FOR PETROL.
A MARGIN OF N50 PER LITER IS ENOUGH DISCOUNT TO OPERATE WITHIN.

How would Dangote recoup running cost and enough profit to repay $Billion loans he took to build the Refinery?

bigpicture001:


Who told u so...? Study the structure of economies in macro economics 1 in skl, u will understand that when there is either just one supplier or just one buyer..it's called a monopoly....


The FG is fixing the price still...they bought over Dangote into the cabal...

The President is NO longer the determinant of pump price

engrchykae:
if God fail to punish you,then God is partial.
When gej removed fuel subsidy, tinubu led protest "occupy Nigeria"with soyinka, John adigie oyegun,buhari,tam David West etc.
Today he has done all the things he criticized gej for.

The topic is beyond your level of education, exposure and intelligence.
Look for your mate in such petty banters

Afonja44:
You can't make this shit up

So we are supposed to troop out and celebrate N800 Dangote fuel which is actually the real fuel price before Tinubu, NNPC, Marketers & Dangote connived to take it up to N1,300 just 2 weeks ago. A 700% hike!

Tinubu timed the hike perfectly to rhyme with his trip & the reduction with his return expecting a hero's welcome. A very dumb move by a very dumb, senile, old fool.

This same Tinubu trooped out enmasse with his horde of dumb followers just 10 years ago to protest against N85 per litre.


I say it without stuttering
Tinubu is the most useless president in the world

Take it or you leave it



cc: Mynd44 the coward I await your next ban

Very ignorant write-up.

The downstream sector has been deregulated and the President is no longer the determinant of petrol pump prices.

BitterTruth0001:
The indefatigable will of the people . He backed it with the natural God given entrepreneurial spirit of the great Igbo race and its sister tribes

He knew it was a matter of time before Biafra would become the powerhouse and pioneer of Industrial Revolution.

At the time the igbos ran everything, the entire federal civil service and private industry , stock exchange stc

Even the local civil service in other regions were controlled by the great Igbos


Case in point : since 1he war ended , Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani have ruled and see the wonderful job they’ve done to Nigeria . See the wonderful job the Yoruba man there now is doing 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What God has not given you naturally , you will never have . Know this and know peace

Ojukwu never backed Biafran pound with anything, he just printed his currency in Portugal on colourful papers ,asked Biafrans to submit their Nigerian Pounds and gave them Biafran , worthless pieces papers that no one outside Biafra recognised or willing to accept

Biodun556:



Surulere people I learnt were displaced from Lagos island due to town planning.

Some Lagos Island people came to resettle in the town of Surulere, a very old Awori Town where a diety called ELEGBA is worshipped.

The alter of the deity was called 'Oju bo Elegbe ti Ilu Surulere ' which was shortened to 'Oju Elegba'

Biodun556:


Ikeja is abbreviation for ikorodu and Epe Joint Administration

It is not a word

False.

Ikeja is far from Ikorodu and Epe.

Ikeja is a traditional Awori Town and the name , Ikeja was originally named after Awori diety

madridguy:
What about Ikeja people, Surulere, Ilupeju to mention few?

They are mostly awori people.
Ikeja was named after an Awori diety.
Agege , Akowonjo, Egbeda, Ikotun, Idimu are all Awori

Yampotatocarrot:

Thanks

Meaning he was able to physically get a location to install his ATM, put CCTV, connect it to power so that it'll constantly be on, got security to guard it, and the authorities didn't know for two years (or just left him)

Well sha, any how wey he do am, na him know, I guess the crime was, not getting registered then... If not, does that mean crypto trading is a crime?

Nigerians don't want to obey the laws in Nigeria regarding cryptocuredncy and they want to be repeating the same in 'saber climes'

helinues:
The Rwanda civil war was more recent yet they have moved on

1) Rwanda is a very small country compared to Nigeria.

2) Rwanda is fairly homogeneous.
The Rwandans, despite divisions into Twi, Hutu and Tutsi ,speak only one language called Banyarwanda and practice same culture.

3) Rwanda have abolished 'tribes' such that it is now illegal to call a Rwanda citizen Hutu or Tutsi, but you can simply call him a Rwandan

It is easier for Rwanda to move on and reconcile since they are more or less the same people.

guysbewise:


"before Ojuku declared the
republic of biafra in may 1967
Isaac Adaka Boro an Ijaw man had declared the
Niger delta republic in february 1966.
Boro had formed the niger delta
volunteer force an armed militia with
members consisting mainly of his fellow
ethnic group declared the niger delta
republic on february 23 1966 and fought
nigeria's federal forces for 12 days but
they were eventually defeated and then
jailed by the Ironsi an Igbo man federal
military government [and Ojuku an Igbo man eastern governor] for treason"

But it was Gowon from Kanke Local Government Area in Plateau State that later set Boro free and Boro later became a major in the Nigeria army and helped to tame the Biafra army.

The Igbos started the civil war because they wanted to take the lands of the Niger Delta from the people that own the Niger Delta, because the Europeans came and created Nigeria.

Irrespective of the past, if the Igbos or any other tribe want a separate country, they have the inalienable rights to do so.
However, I think it is best that their Representatives in the National and States Assemblies table this in Parliaments

I hope you know that it is both a sin and an offence to take advantages of dwarfs?

agadez007:
These tribes all despise themselves but their common hate for one ethnic group in Nigeria is what’s making them seem like they are United

This isn't true.

The Jihard and Islamic Emirates United Fulani, Hausa, Karekare, Kanuri and several other tribes under the banner of Islam especially in URBAN areas.

In the rural areas, peoples are less religious,poorer and sometimes fight for access to and the usage of Land and water bodies, which can sometimes take tribal colouration.


Because Nigeria practice a system of 'sharing the National cake' ,people who have similar backgrounds and worldviews (shaped by common ancestries, religions and/or history) tend to bond together against 'the others'

Kobojunkieee:
But what was the charge against him?

Security agencies can approach the court for an order to detain a suspect under investigation beyond 24hrs especially a suspect which high possibility of running away (Pidomn tried to hide under anonymity and described himself as a breeze).

paxonel:
Why is she bearing the name Kekere ,is she dwarf?

It is a prominent Lagos Family name.

She is a thorough bred Omo-Eko (Faniro-Ogundinmu-Savage-KekereEkun).

Remember her brother-in-Law, Architect Nosirudeen Kekere-Ekun was a Commisioner in Lagos under MB Marwa and contested against Bola Tinubu in 1999 gubernatorial election in Lagos state.

The family patriarch was nicknamed Kekere-Ekun ( meaning the younger Tiger in Yoruba language)

Kobojunkieee:
Section 373 which is stated does not prescribe an arrest before the courts have prescribed judgment on the matter.🤔
https://jurist.ng/criminal_code_act/sec-373

He was arrested based on court order obtained by the security agencies and has been granted bail but he hasn't met his bail conditions.

mrvitalis:

There are 6 zones in nigeria
Igbos occupy one zone alone so when people say igbos they mean South East

South East produce most lawyers according to recent stats

If you think South East not producing CJN is not injustice then it's ok

CJN is appointed based on seniority and not based on Tribes and Geo-political zones.

Justices Katsina-Alu ,Idris Kutigi and Alfa Belgore are all from minority Tribes in the North-Central Geo-political zone, yet they became CJN.



Overall, I think Southern lawyers first practice Law for years before joining the Judiciary, hence they clock retirement aga earlier so they don't serve long enough to reach the rank of CJN

hisgrace090:
Tinubu will like some higher price fix for the fuel.

No be Tinubu go dictate to Dangote how much he should be selling his product.

malali:
IPMAN is pitting them up against the public.
Knowing fully well it would be hard for him to break even at that price.

IPMAN are fighting for their own profits.

They want Dangote to sell to them at a cheap price of #600/L while they will be selling to consumers at around #700-800/L.


They know what they are doing

Believeintruth:


You are the one that is slow here. They are saying the facts. For this year targeting 6K MW for Nigeria is a poor milestone performance for a country as big as Nigeria.

From 1960-2023: Nigeria generated around 3000MW.

2024: Nigeria is currently at 5000MW and if we reach 6000MW by Dec,2024 it is a great improvement.

If we continue on that trajectory, the future looks brighter.

Pacesetter123:

So who suppose to create the enabling environment for the manufacturing sector you are talking about?
Is it an ordinary citizen or the government?

My brother, whether I am speaking out of ignorance..oo as you said or from the point of knowledge..oo,the bottom line is that,it is the government bad policies that has caused naira to lost value.
If you like, you believe and if you don't like, leave it.
Even one example that you set above as the cause of lost of value of naira is still as a result of bad governance and policy summersault by the government.
So I still stand by what I said that it is government bad policies that made naira to lost value.

You don't understand, the Naira was never a strong currency.

What used to happened was the CBN using FOREX collected from the sales of crude oil to subsided the exchange rate.

With time, CBN started reducing this subsidy on exchange rates since 1986, thus the exchange rates were always increasing from #5= $1 ,#21= $1 ,#200= $1 until the exchange rate was left open for market forces.

As per enabling environment, there is no way accumulated problems since 1960 can suddenly be solved in 14 months of this administration.

More Nigerians need to go into efficient productivities.

Pacesetter123:

When you people the ruling class keep saying that protest is not the solution to bad governance and economic mismanagement,I wonder what then is.
What have you people in the ruling class or supporters of ruling class ever brought to the table as alternative solutions to our economy problems.

You said the exchange rate is #1500 to a dollar,is it not government bad policies that caused it?
Was it the ordinary citizens that made naira to lost value completely?

The people cry,shouted,pleaded but government paid deaf ears to their plights.
So what then do you expect the people do?
Fold their alms and allow government get away with anything-goes policies?
Or clap for government for bringing untold hardship to them?

You spoke out of ignorance.

The exchange rate is determined by what you produced for the rest of the world Vs what you consume from the rest of the world.

You can't be a consumming Nation and still demanding that your currency should be strong.


Show us one poor country with strong currency.


This is like the children from a civil servant parents demanding that they must live in duplex and ride Bentley as family cars

Jostoman:
I don't know why this government is so stubborn, it is very clear that this government derived Joy in putting Nigerians in pain and agony.

If I were Tinubu, I will simply invite the organisers of the protests to Abuja ,give them license to build their own refineries or import petrol with the proviso that they must sell their product (petrol) at #250/L

Bebigiby1:
Okay Mr know it all that doesn’t know that the reason nothing changed was because Nigerians in southeast and southwest sabotaged the protest over tribalism and useless sentiments which caused the protest to lose momentum…. Tinubu’s government will continue to divide and deceive Nigerians as long as majority prefer lies, tribalism and religious bigotry over good governance….

How did Nigerians in SW sabotage the protest? The protest didn't hold in the SE.


How will protest solve economic problems?

EreluRoz:
Well, I still believe he did something very terrible to her. That's the father of her kids, him don show her shege na me dy tell you

What next after this criminal act?


The Immigration Officer were very incompetent.
They supposed to arrest the woma for willful damage to Government Property (The International Passport belong to the Government).

Quest7777:
Lets get this clear:

-Prophet Fufeyin manufactures soap,
-sends the soap to NAFDAC for certification,
-NAFDAC certifies the soap based on the listed ingredients, that it is safe for use by Nigerians,
-Fufeyin prays over the soap and presumably impacts healing powers into the soap,
-Fufeyin puts up the soap for sale,
-Nigerians who believe Fufeyin has impacted healing powers into the soap buy the soap.

-VDM calls out Fufeyin as a Scammer
-Fufeyin sues him to court for spoiling business for him, restraining him from further speaking against the miracle soap.

My opinion:
*Nafdac only certified the soap as ordinary soap not as miracle soap so Nafdac has nothing to answer

*Court can not convict Fufeyin as a Scammer. I have never seen any pastor jailed on account of failed religious belief or prophecy.
Also it will mean all these pastors who sell Olive Oil as Anointing Oil would have been convicted.

*VDM should be careful. He stands the risk of being convicted for Defamation, cyberbullying or some other criminal charges.

NAFDAC certify products based on QUALITY, SAFETY and EFFICACY.


You only consider ,one aspect of certification- SAFETY (which means the soap will not harm the users) but didn't consider the two other aspects.

The Prophet is misleading people by advertising a soap as Miracle soap that can cure diseases/health conditions

ellizy:
Every ilorin indigenes needs to wise up on the religious misconceptions.
The Turaki of their land was married to a Christian, she died a Christian, it might not be in this article but we all know..
All this forbidden thier daughters from getting married to other religion is high time they need to wise up and put an end to it.

Only the unexposed and poor ones reason like that.

gabicon:
Goodness me, the rumors of senator Saraki's mother being from Zimbabwe were false after all.

Most Nigerians don't read ,thus are easily misled by rumours from their Social Media influencers and Local opinion moulders.

kingbee90:

I have said it before that the implementation of this bill would be a problem & governors will fight back.
How would the poor states cope?
Walahi! If all the 36 governors cook for Tinubu, can he be able to finish the food?
Mr. Fayemi, I hope you tell this to Agbadorians who were jubilating, thinking the bill was passed because of Rivers crisis.
You can speak yoruba to them since most of them don't comprehend & understand English.

You don't even understand the topic but reduce everything to Tribalism.


NO BILL WAS PASSED.

What happened was that the FG took the States to Supreme Court
1) To stop allow 774 Local Governments get their allocations directly with the Governors taking the lion share of it or even getting part of it.

2) To stop the use of unelected care taker committees in Local Governments Administration

3) The matter predated Wike VsFubara rofo rofo fights

in Rivers

4) Nothing concern Yorubas with Rivers Politics

Different people are giving their opinions on the Court Judgement, which is normal in a democracy.

vanbonattel:


The Ronu register will be used to check if you should protest or not, infact, Oro worshippers are even taking over the protest, they want to use their local masquerade to protest, keep off all ye settlers.

Abia State is paying #18000 minimum wage with many LG workers being owed salaries and IPOB has held the whole SE hostage on Mondays, why not go to these places to protest?

Thewrath:
Some Yorubas are the cause,giving a legitimate,lawful,peaceful protest a tribal and regional affiliation,(you want to practice regionalism through the back door)now the organizers are faceless…

Let’s see who you have to blame now,go and mark attendance on that day by region and tribe!

The protest should be peaceful unless the police and army decide to shoot unarmed protesters like they always do!

If you have been following the ways certain people have been threatening people in Government and holding Spaces on Twitter and going by their antecedents and charged atmosphere, then you would playing to the gallery, if you think this planned protests would be peaceful.

The Protests would be demanding for in change in Government and targeting people in Government, friends and relatives of key members of the APC.
