Anything is possible

Last time there was a national protest, ENDSARS protest, there was hardly any reaction from the North. Back then, a Northerner was President

With another national protest looming against the regime of Tinubu, it will interesting to see the reaction of the North now that a Southerner is President

Fujiyama:

Exactly.

There's the direct cost of transportation - fueling costs and other vehicle related costs. And there's the other costs - official and unofficial taxes, levies, duties, extortion by police, extortion by NURTW, extortion by local government workers etc. Those in the latter group - the group of government and government approved parasites who litter our roads, parks and garages are the biggest tax on productivity in this country.

A real pity that those who make policy in this country consider it beneath them to get in a farm vehicle with farmers/traders and monitor the movement of farm produce from farm to market in real time, real world conditions. When one follows the movement of goods by road in this country, one will understand first hand why stuff is expensive. It makes absolutely no sense for farmers margins to be squeezed to almost zero while leeches in NURTW, police, army and local government councils feed fat on their sweat. No country can make progress this way.

I'm a first time maize farmer, and my maize farm is finally ready for Harvesting. Someone brought in some market women to harvest and buy today.

The rate at which this women purchased is so ridiculous that if I continue selling like this, I won't make what I spent on the project back, not to talk of profit.

It was actually painful because I didn't discuss price with them before they started harvesting, as I assumed the person who brought them already did the discussion, only for this women to come up with a ridiculous rate after harvesting. They claim there's now excess maize in the market.

Another buyer someone called for me offer even worse prices.

It appears they have a maize seller association, where they fix their buying prices.

I'm currently considering harvesting and taking to the market myself, because I'm sure I should be able to sell at X2 of their buying prices (their buying prices is currently between 40 - 55 Naira per Maize on Average, and I think I should be able to sell at 100 - 120 Naira per Maize at the market)

I can't leave the maize to dry because of the rate of rainfall we're currently experiencing.

Any Clue from experienced farmers?

Dangote don hold Nigeria for blokos.

Ezeama400:
He's stylishly telling those hoping for the price of his fuel to crash to brace up..
Dangote is telling you that he has a debt to pay..

If he could deal ruthlessly with Nigerians on his cement price and got away with it, how much more fuel......

Those hoping to buy fuel and cheaper rate have entered one chance

englishmart:
I've seen Dangote twice. That nearly-short guy is very stingy and exploitative

immortalcrown:
Only a radical makes baseless claims. How are the topic and my comment about Obi?

immortalcrown:
Remain stupid until you prove that this post and or my comment is about Obi.

immortalcrown:
You want to divert attention to Obi because you can't defend your stupidity within the context of this post.

immortalcrown:
I don't know who is right and who is wrong in the battle. But I am sure that selfishness, greed and ego are the cause of the battle.

If such a thing happens in the Igbo land, the narrative will be that Igbo people hate one another. Bigots will say that the Igbo should not lead Nigeria since the Igbo peopl cannot lead themselves.

If it happens among pastors or Bishops, the narrative will be that Christianity is a white man's weapon to destroy Africa. Religious bigots will say that Christianity is a scam.

I don't do Politics of Tribe ,Hatred ,Hypocrisy .

Yesterday I was having a discussion with an Elderly Man an APC Party Man who is a Staunch Supporter of Tinubu about the Economy Situations .

He Said ,Kama Ton Arawaje ,Ilu Osunwon Rara ooo.

Meaning ,Without Deceiving ourselves the Things in the Country is not Okay at all.

He is a Yoruba Man ,I am too .

I do not Belongs to the Class of People that Believes even if The President Policies is not Working Good Results then I must Keep Talking like a Zombie ,

Let's face the Reality .

Things are Getting More Worse .

If you say ,You are Okay ,Several Millions are Sufferings ..Go to the Streets and see .

Now Objectively ..

Concerning the Dollars ,Finance ,P2P , Crypto Etc have been Blammed ,Yet Dollars Keep Rising .

WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU THINK THE GOVERNMENT ,CBN GOVERNOR SHOULD DO PRACTICALLY TO STRENGTHEN THE NAIRA ?

Namaster:
The heart of the average Nigerian is full of UNDISTILLED evil. It brims with evil so PURE the devil is envious.

Imagine the wickedness. Customers are already buying the petrol at an INFLATED price YET the wicked attendants want them to buy USELESS meatpies. Further investigation will probably reveal that the price of the meatpies bave been JACKED UP too.

Yet the attendants will return home and bitch about corrupt politicians.

Fact is the average Nigerian is MORE corrupt and wicked than the average Nigerian politician. Only difference is in scale and scrutiny.

NEVER put yourself in a position where you are desperate for something from a Nigerian. It's a TERRIBLE position to be in.

Ekaette1621990:
And poor kids like Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan and Buhari and Tinubu will come and rule them as president of Nigeria.


Stupidity at it's peak.

Anyway I laugh in Swahili 😂😂😂

Prenonjebose:
Truly Emeritus. The explanation the man gave regarding his statement didn't interest many, but they are fixated on the less important issue. Greed through financial corruption and embezzlement is responsible for where the country is right now. This affects millions of Nigerians across regions. Many have committed suicide because of economic hardship, others have left the country leading to brain drain as a result of systemic failures of various governments at state and national level. That is the point the man is raising.

BABAawoo47:
Na only you get sense, So many low IQ ppl... Homosexuality can't affect you, it's personal. But embezzlement is what brought us here. It has capacity to render millions miserable. Homo can't even affect your next door neighbor

oluwaseyi0:
Nigerian will disagree with you

Bobrisky cloth is a greater threat than their corrupt leaders and tribalism/religious induced hates

Yugoslavia247:
Fasting my foot

Stop being economical with the truth. Multiple channel or not you just confirmed that he was asked to speak in Hausa, stop misleading people with your usual use of so called facts to cover the truth we are not all ill informed on this forum. You can fool some people all the time but can't fool all the people all the time
