Nigerians have stockholm syndrome, there will always be people who would stand up for previous leaders no matter how bad they were, mark my words in 15 to 20 years time, people would be saying T-Pain tried his best . From rigging to vindictive politics and stomach infrastructure, it all started with Obasanjo. Even the MTN deal, baba still received his own cut but revisionist would have us believe he's the best thing since sliced bread

It'sl like Abacha rebuking Hitler.....Hypocrisy at its finest! Snoop's children and grandchildren can witness him smoking trees like it's nothing but lgbtv is where the line is drawn? Come off it!

Gboss247:
Antitrust forcing split businesses and expanding to gain more monopoly instead fighting there so-called imaginary monopoly? What joke!

How does Apple have a monopoly on phones? How does Microsoft have a monopoly on operating systems? Each company has at least one big competitor in the market so your monopoly claim is shitty at best

The internet on your device must truly be waste a space

As long as no be your papa's money I used to subscribe then it's all gravy

Gboss247:
The antitrust laws are blind to Apple been only American phone brands, blind to OpenAI's chatgpt, blind to Microsoft dominating the word processing space, blind to Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Threads own by Meta?

Maybe you should update your records and see how many times Apple have been sued for Antitrust both in America and Europe. Same goes for Microsoft, they were actually forced to split part of their businesses. Even Facebook is currently in a legal battle and might be forced to divest in the future.......Knowledge is power, even if you're not here in America like me, at least use Google to research these things before criticizing!

SmartyPants:
You do need to look for things to complain about just to satisfy your urge to be negative. Of which, we all know why you feel the need to be negative.

Dangote is an immense philanthropist. If you don't know, be kind enough to make use of googoo.

Immense philanthropist and monopoly don't look good in the same sentence.......If he was based in the USA, antitrust lawsuits would be flying left, right and center

Commentor:
Why has tourism plummeted?

Why is there inflation?

Why are job losses being recoded daily?

What was inflation before he took office and what is it now? Inflation is relatively within the same bracket.

What was the unemployment rate at Biden's last month, what is it now? Again very minor change.

Y'all need to stop drinking the CNN cool aid and stop being dramatic!

Donald Trump is overdoing the whole thing. I was his fan before but after a critical review of his policies via over 100 executive orders, I realized that Trump may not really be in a sound mind.


Check his encounter with German Chancellor at the Whitehouse, the one with South Africa's President, Zelensky, Uganda, etc, take your time and review even his meeting with Putin too.


Americans made a great mistake electing Trump a second time, he has been a disaster that you guys may not know for now.


He canceled MediAid, sacked a lot of federal workers, doing mass arrests at local farms where undocumented migrants who work their asses off for peanut pay just because of their immigration status. All these things will have serious impact on American economy.


Elon Musk is a very smart man, he must have seen too many flaws in Trump that made him backtracked from supporting Trump.



Trump is doing America more harm than good.


He is almost ruling America via executive orders

You just typed bunch of comedic jargon, you don't even realize America is cyclical, no single president can make America crumble. All Trump is doing is what he campaigned on and seeing that he has nothing to lose, why would anyone think he wouldn't fulfill his camapaign promises?

The headache is for the his party and the next election, America will still be standing and more vibrant than ever!

The question is not their wealth but how has their individual wealth contributed positively or negatively to their respective nations. Oprah for example is known for her charity work, ogbeni Dangote and Adenuga? Make we just dey laugh

AWODIORA:
People like you are the reason our country is in a serious mess, imagine defending the indefensible, asking for source as if you do not know EFCC is the ruling party lapdog. Just over a week ago a Canadian court declared your party a terrorist organization & you are not ashamed of yourself to defend same government. Let me ask you, where is Yahaya Bello? This same EFCC chairman said he would resign if he does not persecute Bello but you & I know it's not possible. MAKE UNA DEY FEAR GOD OOH

Still ask for source, we all know it iss not only the government that lies, Nigerians lie as well almost as much as their government........Transparency is key, always ask for a credible source!

Olokonla40:
Abeg, make Una enlighten me Biko. USA no dey forgive & forget ? As in since 2020 lock down. Make dem still dey arrest people wey chop money. Nna ehn...
Wetin pain me past nah when my card arrive, dem don block am. Bank of America
$27k still dey wey I no fit collect

If na your money dem chop, you go gree forgive them? Many have gone homeless or committed suicide because of similar situations, hand go touch all of una.....Every one of una must collect!

Peacecore:
And you saw me used the highest pay in the country as well. How much is a self-con here in Nigeria? Not less than 250k depending on the State. How much is Artemeter? Not less than 2k depending on brand.
A lucky civil servant that earns 70k per month can acquire a total of 70k × 12 = 840k after tax and rate deduction you'll have about 750k
750-250 = 500k. That's just for housing alone
We don't have light here, so you need Generator. A litre of Fuel is averagely #900( you don't need this out there).
Let's say you use 1litee daily you're spending 900×365 = 328.5k.
500k-328.5k = 171.5k.
We have not talked of feeding, healthcare or even paying NEPA bills.

For out there; let's say you earn $1.2k after taxes and rates monthly. One year is 1.2×12= $14.4k
You only have healthcare, and housing to spend on as analysed above. No money on power.
You were left with 171.5k
So how much is rent out there?
Do the deduction.

You're a comedian! A one bedroom apartment costs monthly minimum of $800 in the USA, health insurance is about $200 a month, electricity is about $100 a month, water, sewage and trash is about another $100 a month. Food is about $150 a month if you're frugal, let's not talk about other bills like phone, internet, car insurance and misc, all that could cost another $200 to $300. Looking at all these, you really think a minimum wage worker in the US is enjoying or balling enough to be able to afford $16 eggs? COMEDY

coleon:
Though I understand where you are coming from and I know that poverty dealt a higher and serious blow to you while growing which is evident in this abnormal analysis you made . To think that you are postulating that eggs which is a common stable food and should form a nutritional diet of every child should only be reserved for special days is not only shallow but a miguided statement in all ramifications. Infact, the WHO recommended one egg per day for every child but in your attempt to support what is not supportable and to show that you probably grew up in a refugee camp you have decided to say eggs should only be eaten on special days like you did and even attach some luxury living to eating eggs!!!
If minimum wage cannot make someone to afford eggs then what else would be affordable to the person , is it rice which is a no go area because a bag is 80k, beans no go area too or potatoes.
You people should not bring your refugee camp mindset to this forum and allow people to live their lives in peace instead of gaslighting them unnecessarily in a bid to make Nigeria and government look ok. I don't blame you but the fellow that brought this stupid comparison to this forum in the first place.

I can bet almost anything that your brain was substituted for potopoto at the hospital! The same WHO that you cited, also said to stay away from eggs in the 80s. Minimum wage was never designed to be the standard wage, it was never designed for adults to stay there all their working years, it was meant as entry level, by 5 to 10 years of experience you should be making double or triple minimum wage but as usual most of una are stagnant and unskillful!

My analogy still stands true, most households in the 80s only ate eggs on special days usually weekends, the ones making minimum wage back then were not stuffing their mouths with eggs every day!

Peacecore:
And you earn how much per month?
70,000/30 = #2,333 per day. That's the highest pay in the country.
Here you need about 3 days salary to buy one crate of eggs.

I know about someone in Canada earning $100 daily.
100/16.99 = 5.89 ie more than 5 crates with one day wage and that's not the only job the person does.

Nigeria is not working at least for now, period.

You've just done what I call wuruwuru to the answer . Using the minimum wage in Nigeria and then turning around using one of the highest pay in forign country. If you're earning minimum wage in 9ja, you have no business buying a crate of eggs, even while growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, we only ate eggs on special days not all the time. Just like someone earning $8 or $15 an hour has no business buying organic eggs for $16.99, there are options as low as $6, trust me if you are comparing egg cost, make sure to compare housing and healthcare cost too, na then you go know say una dey enjoy for 9ja

Nigeria is not working because the people just like the government are clueless!

No such thing as free in America......Few of the benefits are questionable like guaranteed custom clearance? IMPOSSIBLE......Even if the owner is well connected, Nigerians will still ship things like snail, ponmo etc. that are likely to be seized. Further anlaysis, who pays for the utlities? The federal taxes? The cost of insurance? All these are overhead costs put on the owner's head, how long would it take for the business to pack up?

Either this is an initial stage venture to lure people in and build a customer base or the math ain't mathing! Before any mumu replies to my comment with tribalistic or sentimental crap, know that I live here in the USA and own multiple businesses.....Don't be unfortunate!

Same U.S that hasn't increased the federal minimum wage since 2009 (16 years ago) despite the cost of living and inflation rising dramatically! Same U.S that colludes with the IMF to encourage Nigerian leaders to devalue the Naira.......As someone that lives in America, it's not every report you accept hook line and sinker! Make una use una brain, dem dey use una leaders, dem wan use una too

chicfarmer:
You are Just being emotional. Ademola will leave. Yoane Wissa has deleted everything about Brentford from his social media accounts to force his own move. Alexandar Isak is effectively on strike too. Clubs no longer have all the powers，so save your BS.

Yinmu.....Gyokeres did more than that and he only left after the right offer was submitted......If na your papa's business, you go accept less? Dey Play!

jaxxy:
If Jonathan runs and opposition steps down for him tinubu is in deep trouble.

Gej's can continue her buddy buddy if remi is still OK with it as their husbands slug it out.

Yinmu.....The sooner you realize some of these people are working for Tinubu, the better

jaxxy:
The opposition are their own enemies and downfall.

None of them have sense like tinubu I'm sorry to say. if by now they don't know they need a concensus candidate to avoid dividing votes.

If Gej decides to run I expect both Atiku and Peter Obi to step aside for him if they have sense and serious about defeating tinubu.

If GEJ runs, it would be to give Tinubu an advantage......His wife is already buddy buddy with APC and Jonathan could be used to finish the oppostion once and for all

Will you keep quiet! .......Your daughter is known to reveal cleavage and shake bum bum online, a glorified OS who got exactly what she bargained for......In a sane country, she would be on a no fly list and face possible criminal prosecution......Compensation kor, validation ni

chicfarmer:
I humbly disagree. Part of the obnoxious reasons Atalanta has been recalcitrant is that they do not want to sell him to a fellow Italian club. Some of this rubbish clauses clubs include in players contracts are ILLEGAL. It is about time some of these silly contracts are challenged in court including the court of arbitration for sports. It is not chickens and goats they are selling, players are first of all human beings and have rights.

If a player feels he is not being treated fairly, then he has a right to disagree. No club has the right to force a player to a club or country he does not wish to go to. Even if such clauses are included in his contracts, once they go against a person's fundermental human rights, those nonsense clauses are ILLEGAL. SIMPLE. Atalanta MUST release him wether they like it or not. What Inter Milan has offered is fair enough, all things considered.

This is bullshit and you know it! While under contract, the club is not obligated to sell him, no court can force him to be sold, if you think say na play, name one case the court has actually determined in the favor of the player in such circumstance, NONE! You do not get to determine what is fair compensation, if the club values him at 1 billion, so be it! Even in court, you'll have to prove how the contract was unfair and how the transfer value is absurd.....There's no such thing as fundamental human rights here, you see out the contract plain and simple or you have other clubs meet the evaluation of the current club!

Arrant nonsense, you're under contract, you play and can't force the club to accept offers not meeting their evaluation. This is how big clubs bully little ones, they unsettle the player and then whine the smaller club to either accept lowball offers or risk the wrath of the player!

This is why I love America, as long as half of the bill is still viable and the value can be seen, banks go accept am, even if less than half can be seen, there's still a process you can go through to get compensated. For 9ja.....Forget about it......Na to burn the remains and mourn your loss

helpee:
It is actually because a certain tribe has spoilt the name of Nigeria with criminal activities worldwide. There are so many countries with bad leaders but the citizens are not despised or undergo the extreme vetting Nigerians are subjected to. It has nothing to do with the government. It has everything to do with the conduct of the citizens especially certain tribe.

Even this case at hand, the guy that was denied was using a false narrative to claim asylum. The Canadians knew he was lying...they only used the excuse of PDP/APC to deny him.

There's no such thing as certian tribe, it is a combination of most tribes. It has everything to do with government, if government did it's job, Nigerian citizens would be less desperate and would rather stay in 9ja then to seek greener lands. If government had a conscience, it would be Western coutnries begging Nigerians to come over instead of Nigerians begging them!

We have 3 years to outrank United and some teams, starting this year....The glory shall be TELEVISED, the world champs ain't joking around

Hampers001:
Isn't your government self centered?
What are you saying?
Kemi criticizes the government and so will i

Kemi criticized a whole nation not just the government....This includes your papa, mama, your current or future kids!

Hampers001:
My dear wait until you are in her shoes...
For a week or so now, no light in the entire ikorodu and no circular to that effects..you wouldn't know how much i have lost during this period...a woman doing frozen food was in tears because all her stuffs are spoilt because of no light....remember not really everyone can afford this expensive fuel...that being said..

My very good friend was kidnapped and killed in Edo state....

And you expect one who had witnessed something like this not to stab the country anyhow if they have the opportunity to...

Please stop being myopic

It's all about you you you.....This self centered approach is the root of all problems in Nigeria. The government is truly a reflection of the people, if not you wouldn't be exhibiting the same characteristics as those bad leaders you condemn!

Lament if you must but know the difference between protesting government and crucifying the entire NATION!

BULLSHIT......Na so dem talk say we go have flying cars all over the world by 2020......Instead we got Epileptic Cybertruck and self driving cars that could drive you to your demise.....ABSOLUTE CINEMA

kingthreat:
Yeah I have seen videos, US air staff are very eager to use force.

I dey fear them myself.....Ever since they dragged and beat a well known doctor from his seat because of overbooking, my mind just dey tell me o boy respect ya sef o

kingthreat:
The woman prevented her from moving. Could the air hostess do the same to a man?
Whatever happened to reporting the girl to the Aviation authorities and they come pick her up while she has been deboarded?

That's not how it works, lawful restraint is permitted once damage is done to the plane or staff. They held her till the authorities came which is permitted. The problem here is that there should be at least one law enforcement officer on every flight, this is how it is done abroad, the officer would drag her ass off the plane and if she got violent, he would smack the shit out of her.....United & Delta Airlines don't play that shit, na only loacl flights dey tolerate such nonsense!
