Nigeria is currently run by foreigners from Chad and Niger. I am 100% sure of this. All the evidence is there. Remember that a bulk of votes during election are provided by Chadians and citizens of Niger that are deliberately brought into Nigeria for the elections.

PoliticsRe: Suspected Herdsmen Tie Oyo Farmer To Tree, Kill Him With Machete by ajl: 2:02pm On Mar 16, 2021
Nigeria cannot exist as a country because some people are terrorists by nature. I run into an African guy from Senegal in the US. We were just talking generally about issues in Senegal and then I mentioned about current Fulani massacres across Nigeria. The next things he said was "I am Fulani too. My people are too violent. They freely go around with arms and weapons".

I was shocked but really didn't show it. But I love his honesty. I think he has lived in America for long and talked openly about issues.

So, these are the people you want to live with in a so-called Nigeria? It can never work.

They can hold it.

Let them continue to deceive themselves. Na their families go suffer.

If Nigerian abroad truelly send 29 billion dollars, we wont be in any dollars crises even if the price of oil falls.

In 2019, Nigeria oil revenue was $64.9 billion, so this people abroad are telling us that they send almost half of the country's oil revenue. What a joke.

Infact oil and agriculture are the bulk of Nigeria's revenue, not diaspora remittance.
A lot of you are just too ignorant and you all exhibit it without shame. Nigeria that rely mostly on foreign food imports until 1 or 2 years ago. How much food export does Nigeria do?
PoliticsRe: Ahmed Wase: Nigerians Abroad Threaten To Withhold $23b Remittance by ajl: 1:43pm On Mar 16, 2021
thebosstrevor1:
So Google will give me the answer.

Do you know what is even counted as remittance.

Foreign direct investment is infact counted as remittance.

The only people who can give real data about individual remittance are the apps and the banks.

90% of Nigeria foreign exchange is from oil and agriculture not diaspora remittance.

Also Nigeria wont be in a dollar crisis if Nigerians abroad do send 24 billion dollars annually
You are saying you don't know the difference between diaspora remittance and foreign direct investment (FDI). The annual remittance from diaspora is several fold higher than FDI because foreign investors see Nigeria as a high risk country and the FDI is even quite low. Probably just couple of billions of dollars unlike diaspora funds that run up to over $20 billion. Why did CBN recently change policy that allow receiving dollars instead of Naira when fund is sent from abroad by Nigerians. If Nigeria only rely on dollars from crude oil sales, the economy would have collapse and even Dangote project will be affected since he needs to purchase equipments which he get from CBN. Our criminal senators won't see enough dollars to fund their foreign trips. Its diaspora remittance that allowed countries like China and India advanced significantly in last two decades because those remittance were directed at infrastructural development unlike Nigerians remittance that go mostly to private projects and family members. A lot can be found online about diaspora remittance. I even read a world Bank document on it.

dimugonabo:
Why doesn't he use it to become rich?

If I discover the secret to riches, nobody go hear about am.

I will guard the secret with my life.
It's interesting that my response here came via a new knowledge I learn yesterday even though I have been aware that it's your destiny (which we yoruba call "Ayanmo" or "Ori"wink that dictate whether an individual will be rich in life. However, I never knew the foundation of this thought until yesterday. If one likes, he can pray a million times a day to God, if riches is not part of his/her destiny, there is nothing one can do.

According to a verse in the Yoruba IFA corpus called "Otura Arete" (hope I got that name right), Akapo, the topmost disciple/assistant of Yoruba deity of wisdom Orunmila (a witness of human destiny), petitioned his boss before Olodumare (GOD). His grouse was that he as the senior disciple of Orunmila, the father of wisdom and repairer of human misfortune has done everything the Ifa oracle recommended that he do, and he did every sacrifices he was advised to do, but still he continued to be ravaged by poverty and penury. How could it be that he the topmost disciple of Orunmila could be this poor. Olodumare summond Orunmila who was taken aback because such summon was unusual. There he met Akapo, his assistant, who retorted the same allegation against Orunmila in the presence of Olodumare that he always does the things recommended by his boss but yet he was in penury. There, Olodumare asked Orunmila "why is it that your closest disciple live in such state of penury, and why is his case like this". Orunmila was pained by this petition and he replied to Olodumare that "it would be fair to hear my own side of the story in order not to be one-sided". And Olodumare replied that He was equally pained by the state He saw Akapo and it's for this reason he summoned him.Then Orunmila continued that he already did all the things and sacrifices required to be done on behalf of his assistant without holding anything back, and why he has not been rewarded with good fortune can only be confirmed by asking Akapo's destiny or "Ori". Now, the "Ori" of Akapo was summoned, and was asked "is it true that it was all the things needed for Akapo sacrifices that were delivered to you by Orunmila, then Akapo's "Ori" replied "yes, all required sacrifices were delivered". Then, Olodumare asked Akapo's "Ori", then why didn't you release good fortunes to Akapo? Then Akapo's "Ori" replied that the agreement between him and Akapo before he came to the world was that good fortune would only be with Akapo towards the later part of his life. And that all his good fortune would be delivered to him at the time of his life that they both agreed to. On hearing this, Akapo became perplexed, and he prostrated flat at the feet of Orunmila, begging to be forgiven. That if he had known he wouldn't have resorted to petitioning Orunmila before Olodumare. Then, Orunmila accepted his request to be forgiven. However, Orunmila demanded from Olodumare that that from that day onward, human should never be allowed to bring petitions directly before Olodumare because humans are very good with frivolous petitions. And because Olodumare love human so much and take human issues seriously, it will be better to avoid this kind of disagreements between deities and humans, if humans are not allowed to have direct contact with Olodumare. Olodumare accepted Orunmila's demand that this was best way to go to avoid hearing one-sided stories of humans.

You must've overestimated yours.

Who pays 250$ for mobile phone monthly except if you meant zim dollars.
What are you talking about? It's my bill, not yours. That cover phones for 5 members of the family including monthly payment of insurance in case phones are damaged in order to get replacement. If you live in the US, you won't argue it. Someone claiming to live in Ontario claims he pay $400 for communication. Now, because I once lived there, I could dispute that. But he know better because there could other fees attached to that.

I have a feeling that Wakili has already been hit with a charm. They deliberately left his accomplices unharmed. They know the police will release him eventually but if the police do, Wakili has already been rendered useless. He will never recover from the effect of the charm. One may think he is just pretending. You expect OPC to use ordinary hands to catch him? You know Wakili is loaded too. Wakili went to Benin Republic to empower himself. But he failed to realize that the charm makers in Benin Republic are students of the Yorubas, and many of them are even of Yoruba origin. They probably gave him fake charms knowing fully well about fulani atrocities in Yorubaland. He think he's wise. Abi no be Oyinbo say "Wise, Wiser, Wisest".

Fulani can't penetrate Lagos, I am so sure of that.
Really? Why not see the trend. They started from Ondo, then to Oyo, and then Ogun. And eventually Lagos. Ogun state share border and forests with Lagos. Those location where the kidnap too place lie along a road that can be accessed from Ogun via Ijebu-Ode. They might soon head for Epe because most farms in Lagos are located there. There is a road linking Ogun with Epe and there is a forest too. A big one at that. Let us wait and see.
