He was half-white
he did NOTHING absolutely for FBAs
He was used to murder Gadaffi, and subsequently West Africa due to influx of terrorists who stole gadaffi's arms

He gave support to degeneracy,
In fact, black pl became disgusted by his pretensions;
though we understand that he was being controlled by the ' hidden govt.'

Well, in my opinion, I respectfully disagree with you on those points. If a white was the president, America would still invade any third world country. It wasn't a black president that invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. The current defense secretary is a black. The point is, black Americans who want to achieve great things are doing so. Again, most of this black Musicians in America are hardly innocent in charges against them. See the case of Kelly, some of his atrocities were even against black women. They keep giving the law there a chance against them. I think they have to look at themselves properly. How do you explain the way they kill themselves in gang violence?I mean blacks killing blacks over there

MetaMatrix:
There are racial lines drawn for ALL famous or rich blacks in the US. The line which is RACIST is to keep them all under the slavery diaphragm. Like
1. No condemnation of government
2. No wealth rivalry
3. No game rivalry
4. No criticism of govt., police or anything white.
5. No statement on repatriation
6. No support of Africa.
7. No condemnation on any injustice current or past commited against Africans.
Those who try to pass the lines are all in jails for wring accusations or persecution or even killed.
Some of these are in pictures below.

Did these black men gave the law a chance to go after them? By the way, also remember that, a black man rose to the highest level in America and by extension the whole world. Why was he not held down?

I hope say no be from PMS hin go take collect back the money o


Jokes aside, thats cool of him. This will go a long way for most of them

This means, he still has the masses at heart

That is if the useless politicians will not divert it

NIgerians do not want to pay market price for petrol....that is why we are having all this long grammer about Dangote doing emotional blackmail.

The thing is, Tinubu's government does not want to admit that they have been paying subsidy and they have to remove it for petrol to flow. Because it means prices go up, and their chances of winning in 2027 go away.

Nigerians as a whole do not want cheap fuel to end. There are the subsidy cabals, the smugglers, and most poor Nigerians.

Infact, subsidy is one of the few things the elite and the poor agree on. It benefits both of them...at the expense of economic progress and development of a domestic refining capacity.

Cheap fuel is what isdriving this whole thing. No Nigerian wants to pay N1500 for a liter of fuel, as it means that the subsidy is truly gone. But attempting to keep fuel cheap is hurting NNPC, who right now are scraping the barrel to pay for it. Their barrels, not the government. And they are at a point where they cannot keep scraping the barrel.

Subsidy should go. It's time to end the five decade old charade. But I know Nigerians...we would sacrifice our economy to Molech rather than do the sane and right thing. After all, we want N20 FUEL.

In as much as I agree with you, I want to add that, the foundation of all of these challenges is endemic corruption. We wouldn't be talking about subsidy if policians and people in government have not embezzled our common wealth, impoverishing the majority. The purchasing power of the masses would not be this weak if not because of the criminal acts of corruption. Head or tail, this government is in deep problems itself, especially their second term ambitions. So, it is a headache for them as you rightly said. It is a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea. For the masses, remove the subsidy let politicians feed fat on the gains and the masses continue to suffer more or continue with the subsidy at the detriment of the economy. For the politicians, keep the subsidy and remain a bit good in the books of the masses, or remove it and have hard times to continue in power

IfnobeGod20:
DSS had relegated their main duties to become a tool in the hand of politicians and no longer sourcing for intelligent reporting or information to help the security of the nation. This issue started as far back as 2013 when Marilyn Ogar was their spokeswoman. They politicized every bit of thing and today they have not drift from it.
A once secret police had turned to Baba Ajasco's comedy show organisation and we expect to have a secured society?

You are very correct. It is quite embarrassing. While FBI, Mossad, M16, and others are working day and night to take terrorist wherever they are, our DSS is at the heart of every comedy and joke dramas. It is a tragedy

How can he sack an aid for that? It is good he took time out to to do it. It is not all about looking serious always. We haven't killed Adeleke of Osun for his dancing afterall

It is quite unfortunate that, the likes of Turji Bello are having a field day under our security agencies who are cowering with their tails in between their legs. Just yesterday, bandits adopted nurses and patients in a hospital in kaduna, while the DSS or whosoever was looking for ajaero at the airport. What a country

Tinubu is taking a very dangerous path by trying to silence everyone.

DeLaRue:
Finally an intelligent thesis that mirrors what I have been saying all this while on Nairaland.

Any Presidential candidate that promises you things will be honky dory under him and petrol will be cheap, electricity will be constant, prices of goods will suddenly be cheap is living in cloud coockoo land.

You can not keep borrowing to live a middle class lifestyle when you are on minimum wage. Eventually your debts will catch up with you and you will go bankrupt and lose everything.

Over the past decades, Nigerian governments spent more than the country was earning, subsidising this and that, in order to keep the people happy. Those past Presidents feared being unpopular and so gave people what they wanted knowing fully well it was financial poison that future generations will pay for dearly.

Nigerians have got used to things being artificially cheap due to subsidy (education, petrol, electricity etc) that when a new President comes in and say the country will head for the rocks unless we change things now, Nigerians say he is the worst President ever.

Niger Republic, Ghana, and other neighbouring countries buy petrol at around N1300 per litre. But Nigerians want it at N300 or less

Given that both Ghana and Niger Republic also produce crude oil, what is so unique about Nigerians that makes Nigerians feel so entitled to super cheap petrol?

Unfortunately 99% of Nigerians, including the educated ones, just don't understand economics at the level of a currently poor country like Nigeria.

All this long English you wrote is useless as far as you conveniently ignore the key problem which is endemic corruption. Solve the corruption issue and 99% of the country's problem is gone. The taxes, borrowing and oil sales are funding the luxurious lifestyle of these politicians

Noblechykk:

He made no point. Nigeria major problem is corruption. Did he tell you that a senator in a European country does not own fleet of cars. Did he tell you a governor in U.S will not dip his hand in the state's treasury to sponsor election. He said none of that

At least someone with common sense at last. See how he conveniently left out the major problem which is corruption. Even if people pay 90% tax, the money will be stolen as usual.

What kind of shadow chasing is this from the police?

shoodboi2:
For those wondering, this same JNIM was part of the coalition groups that Ukraine funded and armed to kill Malian soldiers and Wagner PMC members in Mali last month.

Ukraine openly confirmed that it armed the groups and bragged that there was nothing African countries can do about it.

The US, UK, and France also went on to further sanction Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger for breaking diplomatic relations with Ukraine over its support for this terror group.

Now, we have seen the Ukraine-backed terror group killing more Africans.

But Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger are backed by Russia. Why didn't Russia fund and back them enough to defeat the terrorists sponsored by Ukraine, according to you?

PressMyButton:

You're the failure here and the funds for your Education is a waste. You lack the understanding and exposure to know there are processes to implementation of policies. It requires relevant stakeholders and authorities to adopt a template that'd suit its practicality, reports have to be submitted and adopted before the implementation, approvals from relevant quarters have to be given before implementation begins. Similarly was the directives of removal of import duties on some specific food items which had to pass through relevant agencies with procedures laid out before implementation begins, it doesn't just fly off the hat. You're simply ignorant.

How I wish you gave this admonition to your principal, Tinubu who is so far the biggest failure. He should have called stakeholders, strategize before opening his mouth to shout that subsidy is gone. Now, he is paying more subsidy, we are also paying thrice the amount on pms. He is ignorant too

completeskills:


That's how it should be...not this politics of bitterness. We will be friends and I will tell you when you are wrong. Unfortunately, For people in public offices, you have to be open when you scrutinize them.

Exactly, people are so immature, that I criticize you in a particular area doesn't mean we are enemies. Were they expecting the two adults to blow each other out in physical combat or what?

Rufai just admitted that he is padi padi behind the scenes with all these leaders he attacks on tv.

With all the things he has said about Cardoso, should he really be going out of his way to grab a handshake with him?

Are they enemies? Why is it difficult for people to separate work issues from personal life

princepee:
OGA make the local refineries work, nobody will hoard what you have in abundance.
It's not rocket science.

don't mind them. They like beating about the bush and leaving the substance. If they make fuel available, who will be stupid to hoard it?

loswhite:
Why waste your time on that senseless idiot. If NNPCL fixed our refineries by now where will the monopoly come from?

Don't mind them. They will just be talking any how

REDshouse:


The diesel never reduce.. The price was technically increased to around 1700 few months to dangote supply ... Don't be fooled ..they know what they are doing ... The fuel price around the world is around 1200 per litte unsubsidized.. now they have created technical scarcity to jerk up fuel price to 900 to 1000 per litre ... When dangote start producing fuel it will now drop to 600 and everyone will be happy that fuel Drop to 600 because of dangote ....

Who are the they you are talking about please? Is it the Nnpc cabal that doesn't want the dangote or any local refinery to work? Please I don't understand you. As far as the evidence in the public space is concerned, there are people who want to continue importation for their selfish aim. Dangote is complaining bitterly and here you are insinuating Dangote is in cohort with them

Max24:

You seem not to understand the concept of interest. Dangote and Tinubu don't have the same interest when it comes to fuel. While Tinubu might not be a saint he has the political obligation to control the price of fuel or else he would be put under pressure by the masses like some tried to do with the protest. Dangote on the other hand as a full-fledged capitalist has no such obligation to consider the masses. His interest is maximum profit possible and I don't blame him. And don't be deceived by the seeming public fight between Dangote and Bua about prices. It might all be a ruse. Do you know what they call cabal in business and their theatrics? Nigerians need to be smarter than this. Are you 100% sure that Dangote and BUA are not working hand in glove ? Are they not both northerners? Dey play ! For me, I voted Tinubu to control the price of cement and fuel. If Dangote can maintain current fuel prices I don't have problem with him. But I doubt he will. I would be shocked if he doesn't double or triple prices in few years time if given a free hand to control Nigerias fuel. The way they handled cement, a commodity that is 80% sourced in Nigeria, is still fresh in my mind

Please which local commodity that is 100% locally sourced did not double or triple in price during Tinubu regime? How much was a bag of rice, a tuber of yam etc prior to Tinubu administration? I am never convinced about monopoly shouts from different quarters. Your analysis between Bus and Dangote remains another conspiracy theory at best. I mentioned the cost of energy as a key drive to products cost. I work in manufacturing too. When Tinubu floated the naira and the exchange rate increase, the cost of diesel went further up. It means, if a truct was transporting cement to a location at 50k before, it now 80k or more. So why should the price of cement for example, not go up. The beverage I produce is more than double the initial price. Is Dangote or Bua or the northernals as you are trying to portray them, producing Coke, fanta or pepsi? Have the prices of those not more than double during Tinubu time. Why are you not calling those companies out like you do Dangote?

Look, we are running a free market economy, anyone is free to set up companies and set their prices, then compete for the market. Dangote was producing noodles before, did he survive the market? He ended up selling that line to indomie who are the market leaders. Did anyone accuse indomie of monopoly? No, then why? We all know that, there are politicians who don't want the status quo to change in the oil sector. Tell me why they are insistent on importation of fuel when we now have the capacity to refine it locally? In this very report, it was mentioned that, 8 refineries are ready to work, Dangote has only one out of the eight. So, where is the so much voiced monopoly? At least the Benin refinery cried out this week about crude shortage too.

By the way, you said Tinubu job is to control prices, kindly tell him hid policies are rather killing us with high prices. He is not doing his job

Max24:
I don't trust Dangote to favour the masses. His foray into cement is a point of reference. I won't be surprised if fuel doubles by the time Dangote is given a giant share of the market. How much is cement now ?

Please, how much are other cements prices compared to Dangote cement? Why are the others not cheap? I need education on this please. There are many variables that drive production cost, chief among them is energy. When your government took the dollar sky high and the cost of diesel doubled, what do you think will happen? Most time people unfairly target Dangote. At least he is not the only one in that market. What happened to all the noise Bua made about cement price reduction months ago,? It is simply not feasible. At least, Dangote is investing in Nigeria and creating employment. How many of the people in government including Tinubu have invested here? People will just be shouting Dangote monopoly. Why don't you build a refinery yourself?

REDshouse:
Even if they supply dangote all needed crude for his refinery it will never reduce the price of fuel ... Ask dangote cement and flour ... No matter what it will always go higher after monopolizing the market ... I won't cry for any dangote ... Let him hustle his way out ...

We know that, Dangote entered the diesel market and the price reduced. Please, you can also build a refinery to break the so called Dangote monopoly. After all, this same reports states that, 8 refineries are ready to start. Do they all belong to Dangote? In the cement market, why is Bua or Larfage not selling cement to us at 2,000 naira? Is Dangote the one setting the price for them? Let them sell it at that price and let's see if Dangote can still be in the market. The word MONOPOLY is indeed abused in Nigeria

Is that redeem church ?

The NAtional assembly should pass a law empowering the state to take 50% of church and mosque earnings. That money should be used to cater for the social welfare of the poor

As if government will not embezzle the 50%. The huge sums the government makes in taxes and other revenue sources, where is it? What social welfare have they undertaken that benefits the masses? Everything is a cesspit of corruption. Sorry, your suggestion is not the solution for now

Namaster:
I keep saying it that it's absolute INSANITY that the Nigerian Military is having such a tough time NEUTRALISING these terrorists and bandits.

They are a bunch of ragtag, illiterate and DUMB idiots with guns. A MINOR surveillance operation would reveal their location. And a coordinated attack on that location will PARALYZE them.

But the Nigerian Military would rather intimidate civilians and attack NEPA office for free light.

Very USELESS!

I have read the whole first page and there is no single "picture or I don't believe it" crew member, as we often see when Nigeria military reports killing of terrorists. I am confused please, what's happening? Because this report does not show any terrorist killed but the same people believe it without a doubt

If not because of madness and backwardness at the same time, who should be talking about power disconnection in this age, like we are in 17th century? What happened to prepaid meter? Install prepaid meter for them, if the don't buy units, they don't use light, simple

This is the only way to go, FCCPC if not gotten right, Tinubu government will be gone. Prices have skyrocketed and the Institution holds the ace to correct the abnormally.
I expect the head to sit with manufacturers, Middle men and look into their books and see where the evil lies and draw the sword immediately within 1 month of this appointment.

Are you still looking for where the evil lies? Tell me you are joking. What drive prices in our economy are majorly pms, diesel and dollar rate. Check their standings now and your answer is there

His role is moon sighting or announcement of sighted moon during Ramadan

Because they are Indians, they know how to do business the Nigerian way

Cheap labour
No standards
No safety
Poor welfare for staff
Bribe government officials
Etc.

With all these they still manage to make profit.
Big multinationals don't do these because of integrity.

You are very correct. You will never hear the indian, Lebanese and Chinese companies leaving. It simply because of the factors you listed up there

Kay17:


I agree. The exit of multinationals and the shrinking of the economy along with shabby foreign exchange market doesn’t affect Igbos in the Southeast and all round Nigeria.

The exit of doctors and astronomical increase in prices of food and medicine doesn’t affect Igbos.

Don't mind him, he was just thinking narrowly
