G00dharddick: Lemme chip this in for clarity sake. Regarding the bolded, there's no rational thinker on earth who doesn't create room for eventualities while championing a course he believes in, and this means that as events unfolds, you adapt to the situation that presents itself before you. It is called adaptive reasoning. To you, it might appear as double-faced, but to any rational thinking person, he see a man that adapts. If we agree on a deal, it's all well and good if everything remains the same, I might choose to go on with the deal, but if any of the external or internal factors changed and I decide to opt out, you'd typically say it's the Yoruba way of doing things, but to the man that opted out, he might have done so due to a perceived change to one of the aforementioned factors. He's spotted something you cannot see standing on an iroko tree... Na akonuche! |

Zhunnurayn: Dangote oil will not change the status quo until there's a viable and healthy competition because he's a capitalist who's out to make profit, and he'd most likely be using the 'scim the cream' pricing model, being a monopolistic market. However, when other competitors come into the market, maybe prices will begin to become competitive. I said maybe because they might opt to fix a market price at the time to ensure that their revenue does not shrink at at time. The more profit that the oil companies make, the higher their income tax to the government. So our government might prefer to watch their citizens pay high for fuel and make more money from taxes than the other way around. 1 Like |

Zhunnurayn: Good question. The loans from China is priced between 3 to 7% for African countries including Nigeria with no strings attached, but those from IMF and world bank is priced between 15 to 35% to African countries with stringent clauses like removal of subsidy and local currency devaluation... Mind you, same IMF loans to Western countries are priced at about 1 to 4%. Back to the 'whys' : Most African leaders have resorted to borrowing from China to fund capital budgets and that doesn't board well with the Western powers. So they force African leaders to take those loans with threats of strong consequences if they dare to object. And because most African leaders got to power with the support of external (western) government, they just have to comply. Failure to do so means that such government will be toppled and overthrown or his country thrown into chaos. Another reason why African leaders take these loans is to further enhance their ability to loot unchecked and unnoticed. You only loot when there's surplus. And when the terms of those loans are implemented in full, you'd be left in an unending loop of borrowing because by the end, your currency will be worthless and cost of governance will always be higher than your revenue. Remember that bulk of the revenue would have gone into loan repayments. 1 Like |

HeatSeeker: There's no truth in what he said. A poor country with the highest paid politicians in Africa and one of the best paid in the world. We can't be as poor as he described and pay our politicians so handsomely. That's like saying a family is poor, yet they own a house and live in Ikoyi VGC, ride a bullet proof SUV, most of their kids school abroad, but someone somewhere tells you that they're a poor family. A country with over 200 million population with most of them youth is not poor. Don't let them sell that narrative to you. The West are the ones dealing with us for trying to romance with China by using world bank and IMF loans to stiffen their hold on us and our economy. They force our leaders into collecting loans with crazy interest rates up to the point where our total revenue equals total cost of debts servicing. Another thing they're doing is to use poverty and insecurity to keep our population in check. It is when you eat well and live in peace that you'd want to marry and give birth, but when the country is this hard, nobody will caution anybody to limit the number of kids they'd have. With hyperinflation, how many people can afford to feed themselves, how much more feeding another grown up adult (wifes) and kids. Even if you can, security threats mean that you're either going to be a victim or you'll always watch your back. And in such situations, the chance of population explosion is minimal. If you check our population growth between 1960 till date and use that data to forecast our growth in another 50 years if we continue to increase in numbers unchecked, baba, India and China might soon have us rivaling them in terms of population, and the resources used for catering to the needs of that much people is not readily available anywhere. So, their justification to use quasi-natural causes like hunger and insecurity as a tool to checkmate our growth appears understandable. Bring it home and ask people around you how many kids they wish to have if the present inflation continues and let's hear their feedback. The bad news is that there's no government official that'll come on air to tell you all these things. You have to use your tongue to count your teeth. 10 Likes |

ColonelMichael: Absolutely...! The need to learn about Islam cannot be overemphasized. Just as it's the same with learning anything else in life before building your bias for or against that thing, it'll help you make informed decision about the religion of Islam and you'd not just gulp in everything the western media throws at you hook, line and sinker. |

Beverlyjean: By the definition of the bolded above, it is safe to say the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Israel and the US are all terrorist nations. The facts are there if it interests you to learn about. They've all killed people in hundreds of thousands or millions, but because they dictates the perception about anything, they're in charge of telling you who's supposed to be a terrorist or not. Some of the cabinet members of Netanyahu is a known terrorist by name Bengovin.... I hope I spelled it correctly. Go read and learn more and stop believing everything you see in the media space. |

Beverlyjean: If at this age and time, and couple with the plethora of materials that are available on the internet, you still see and call Palestinians terrorists, I think you'd be among the people that still think Nelson Mandela is a terrorist because he was once on the US world's terrorist watchlist until recently. Perhaps you might be the type that have crossed his/her mind to unlearning and relearning. |

Botragelad: Do you even know what journalism entails at all? So BBC journalist that went as far as entering BH and Bandit enclaves to interview them are terrorists themselves? When Palestinian press crew go into tunnels to interview Hamas, they're considered terrorists but if CNN or BBC reporter does the same, they're called all the good adjectives related to their profession.

As it is today, the country is deficient on qualitative leadership. It's endemic to us as Nigerians. Give anybody the chance to govern and you'll see the monster he'd become.

Some people would prefer to belly their hate while others would be vocal about it either in writing or verbally. That said, those who rule over the land are not on Nairaland or should I say when they gain leadership positions, they stop visiting.

It'll take the lifetime of the last youth that of this generation that witness the Lekki event to exit this world before the next generation will ever consider the thought of rising up against the power that be. People have seen first-hand, what might be their fate if they challenge the status quo, and the worst part is that those they died defending will come back to argue and deny that the heros ever died for them. 2 Likes |
