D government should increase minimum wage to save civil servants from this looming hardship. The business people have taken care of themselves by increasing their prices, the private sector should be compelled to abide by the minum wage and the naira losses its value automtically. The common man is always asked to bear the brunt of the reckless political class. They come and destroy our economy and country, enrich themselves, live very extravagant lifestyles, buy choice properties in the best part of the country make themselves comfortable then leave office. A new set come and pilfer our collective resources make their blunders and still ask us to be patient. Its high time we speak outbwith one voice and forget our differences as youth and demand accountability from leader from the councilor in a local government to the president at the centre

I cn assure you petroleum marketers will take advantage of this. Are we not in nigeria? Has DPR and PPRA every being able to enforce price regulation outside abuja? Even when they were subsidising, fuel marketers were already selling at 140- 150 now they have been saddled with the responsibility of sourcing forex and importing a litre of fuel will sell for as much as N250. All filling stations were so quick to adjust thier pumps and sell subsidized products yesterday for 145. After they run out of this stock you will see drama most of them won't even bother importing petrol again. The ministers of petroleum have failed and the easiest way out is to pass the bulk to the masses. No matter how APC supporters try to sugar coat this, its a very wrong move. The cost of food and transportation in the market won't wait for market forces to determine the price of fuel before they start sky rocketting more. There is so much suffering in this country but zobeism won't allow people protest. I laugh when I see the pained and false expression on zombies faces as they try to rationalize this government's insensitive policies. Austerity measures were protested all over the world in advanced nations, but even to voice out how you feel zombies **** go one chop you

omenka:
Who cares if you (one person), out of nearly 200million people, don't accept it?? You can remain stuck in the past with garri, tomato, bread and pure water prices while the rest of us leap into the future.

You won't be missed.

I don't quote people. I usually just comment the way I feel might not be right totally but that is why there is what we call individual differences. I can recall your picture of 14 Feb with your woman and judging from your looks you must be in your 30's. You go about nairaland attacking peoples opinions and personalities it doesn't tell well of someone born in the 80s. I think we should apply decorum and set an example for our younger ones on nairaland. People must not agree with you always. That's why it is a democracy and there is freedom of speech. Just say how you feel and move ahead. You really sou d bitter atimes

Hmmm even the government is not allowing discerning voices to be heard. Thank God for social media where our voices can't be stiffled. If only aosome of you know how this government is trying hard to silence any dissenting voice. Make dem just increase minimum wage. PDP government bought mass transit buses with money saved from subsidy, created sure p that gave people jobs even though along the line the Nigerian factor destroyed this good programmes, but it showed the governmnt was listening. Transport fare in abuja has increased by 100% and you know this will have a ripple effect on every other thing. What happened to making the refineries work before totally removing subsidy. APC just shot themselves in the foot and have created an army of disgruntled citizens. There is no government policy that has been people friendly from the onset of this government

What does the common man benefit from the government. Subsidy in itself is not bad but as it is with everything in this damn country it was abused. NNPC's job would have being to ensure these subsidies were implemented to the latter. Bloody government quick to remove subsidy but taking their time to look into labour's demand for increase in minimum wage. This sole act will have a ripple effect as is obtainable in Nigeria. There are no clear cut policies in how to grow the countries economy. After one year keep hearing we should be patient. Nonsense after we go through hardship for four years they will cone and ask that was give them time to right their wrongs. Nothing is working
The economy is in shambles, there is insecurity all over the land, there is division in the land, there is hunger, no power, no fuel after this removal the queues will still persist. Only thing this government seems to be doing well is fighting selective corruption fantastically. NLC should ground d country abeg I am in full support. What nonsense

I really don't want to believe Buhari made this statement. If he did then he is totally in support of the Fulani massacres. Why did he have to go to katsina before addressing an important issue like this? Is he the president of the north only? The army has even issued a statement as regards inciting posts on social media. The next thing peoplebwill start being arrested indiscriminately. We should learn to take our politics to the next level. APC floated Buhari just to garner the votes of the Muslims in the north I understand but at this time Nigeria needs a better leader. A leader that stands to unify this country. Obasanjo toured Nigeria after he was elected just to endear himself to Nigerians. If the president feels its only the core north cos and probably south west that matters he should go on. If people feel they have no stake in a matternor nothing to loose, then they don't care if it is destroyed. Nothing can ever be resolved violently a wise leader applies wisdom in handling his followers but in Nigeria today I ama not seeing this

Karashika. Thank God u don expose ya self imagine how many of us for like taste ur honey pot without knowing say na gay. Lord save me from karashika

Even federal government sends civil servants from Maiduguri to Ibadan for training by road sick country

Did u watch nta network news yesterday? Those pictures are fake but it happened cos the cows with bullet wounds were shown. Don't just discredit every news for whatever reason afford to go an extra mile to find out don't spend all your time on nairaland

If u watched NTA news last night you would see the video I don't know how many cows were killed but they show wed videos of cows with bullet wounds and Fulani's in the bush. The heat is on. The agatu youths should never let thier guards down. Thes animals can wait for 5 years and hit back. They should never ever let their guards down cos the blood suckers will be bacl

Just imagine? I expected this. I remember the day my colleague from Maiduguri said they have caught plenty Igbo people who are boko haram members killing their people. When these northern leaders can't tell their subjects the truth. The subjects cannot even think critically. This is the story they are bandying now. Just like they kept quiet when they thought boko haram was attacking Christians only. They will have a taste ofthier pill

We truly deserve the kind of leadership we get that is why citizens of a country are being murdered and the president doesn't deem it fit to say anything. Just imagine a divisive leader in modern times with civil war mentality. We need young progressive leaders to move this country foward

We won't get tired of talking about this issue. The president has to make a statement as regards the Fulani menace. The Americans we cil copied democracy from don't behave like our President. He has to reassure the people. Democracy is about communication also. A menance taking a national angle needs to be talked about. Statements can't just be issued via the media. When they need our votes they move from place to place disturbing our peace. They get there and all of a sudden we are inconsequential now that you don't talk to us. The diasporans are the only ones worthy of answers. May Gd give Nigeria a leader that connects with the common man. Agatu has not seen any high powered federal delegation

Where there is no equity and justice, there won't be prosperity. Someone has won the presidency of Nigeria is a Nigerian President and not the president of the north west, north east and south west. U can't be sourcing the bulk of funds from a rfion and make statements like 95% and 5%.

The president doesn't have good advisers or has surrounded himself with sychophants who can't tell him the truth.

He is proving to be a sectional president and its really unfortunate. A man that aspired to attain this position 3 times he finally got it and has disconnected himself from the people. Why has this man not toured Nigeria like obasanjo did? Why can't he endear himself to the people? Are the people meant to serve the president or the president serve the people? This is why wars ravage Africa and the middle east, where supporters of leaders idolise them and worship them. The man should practise equity and justice and see whether so much of the complaints originating from parts of the country won't die down. You can't openly show a people you dislike them and expect them to like you. For the next four years they will fvckig hate you and you hate them and nothing changes. The people are here but he president has at most 8 years to be in office why can't he leave a good legacy behind

Na wah o. The vigilantes in my town dey carry pump action like stick if these scrawny fvcks try shit make dem mowe dem down den leave our town union to face Nigerian army or police in the courts. Ah ah do they have monopoly of violence because people are peace loving. I trust my people we go contribute buy automatic pump actions lincence am join self. No wonder presidential committee on light and medium weapons wanted to disarm us first. Because of Fulani I no free make them try disarm us we will give them the Dane guns and keep the autos in anticipation of the day the barbarians go misbehave dem no go fit run na just to blow wishtle make vigilante comot and all gun owners. What nonsense. Bunch of cowards that look for lone people in farms to kill. Let them come to the east in broad day light and try and sack a community. My agatu brodas abeg David Mark should buy guns for his people cos the federal government as it obtains in agatu gave an order that the soldiers should not shoot at Fulani's as confirmed by people that were on ground in agatu and spoke with soildiers in confidence

Very proud guy. Customer is king. Even if u don't want to display your price you can politely respond to his comment.

As Steve jobs said the most expensive bed in the world is a sick bed u can't pay anyone to lie in it for you. If his time is up he will go. I can't place my finger on his legacies only the terrible hardship we passed through as children cos of SAP

Na so these people chase Jos people out of their villages. They don dey advance enter Benue

Aisha don't begin show herself because bubu no dey town. Hmmmm the man no like make end wife dey public domain. Funny Aisha shake vice president for the launch. I wonder why some Muslim women no dey shake hands

This man really has common sense. what is happening now in this country makes me shudder. The president truth be told has put mediocrity over merit. He is appointing people less deserving of some vital positions into these key positions and this will tell on this country in the long run. Nepotism will kill Nigeria not corruption

I have a problem with the Chinese they always comprise standards. My organisation embarked on a project worth half a billion naira with the Chinese these guys refused to transfer the technical know how to us. Language was a serious barrier and they feel u are drawing them back when u trying to understand what they are doing. After less than a year, the project has started falling apart and we are struggling to keep it going. They will come and take our jobs, no Nigerian engineer was involved in this project, they just used Nigerians as menial workers, breakig , digging, packing and so on so there was no transfer of knowledge. They rushed the job and rushed out leaving us with problems. I am very skeptical about them

Not statement on the murder of over 500 agatus. That Daura guy and his DSS should be fvckiing careful. This favouritism of Fulani's go split this country a word is enough for the wise. If the Fulanis brazenly justified why they murdered over 300 pipo cos of their fvcking animals then they deserve death by any means necessary
If u come to my land and murder me and it's justified then they never see shit. Maybe the Americans predicted right but they just got the date wrong

Akshow:
Opeyemi Tomisin Ogunbadejo SAID: ~There you are, fighting, insulting, killing and destroying in their names, while their kids get robust education, jobs, gifts and properties you have ever wished for. Living your dreams on your behalf. Subject you to eternal envy. with your support..... ~There they are looting the national treasure, sharing it among themselves. They are in the competition of 'The Best At Looting'. They rape the national treasure and ejaculate the waste on you the ignorants, while you trek, make use of public transports, resort to crime for survival, e.t.c. But they sleep and wake in what belongs to you, yet, with your support...... ~They send you to kill, maim, harass, protest, assassinate, campaign, rig. You get to your rented apartment, dodge landlord enter, cause you haven't paid the rent, with several responsibilities awaiting you e.t.c, but they will never be at the battle front, yet they go to their mansions, relax in expensive jacuzzi, with wines expensive enough to start you a career, they reach for their expensive gadgets, and check their over-filled accounts, the profit they have made from your stupidity, unfortunately with your support..... ~You struggle for a job, some of you get one with peanut salaries that will be owed for months before you get paid, you scream, wail, shout, stress your vocal cord before they consider paying you. While their kids never get stressed for jobs, they have been getting paid even before they were born(ghost workers). Each one of them gets a month salary x2 your annual salary, again with your support. CBN secret/partial recruitment comes to mind. Oh! I forgot, them pikin get brain pass you! Abi no be so? ~You take sides when they throw unreal tantrums at each other. You fight your brothers and sisters on social media(oh I forgot! They are not your brothers and sisters, he is not from your tribe, he doesn't practise your religion, he is APC, ayam PDP, because they said so? issokay, kwontunu). But what comes to your mind when you see them laughing? Does the picture of those you have insulted, killed, destroyed with the words of your mouth comes to your mind? They become friends(like they really fought before) laugh at your ignorance. They have won again, no be you support am? Have you seen Obasanjo and Madam Patience recent pictures? Where dm two dey groove? When you groove last? Ok la, na fake jor. You don hear sey Aluko and Fayose don reconcile? Wait for Wike and Amaechi. They use you to achieve their wants and needs. Well done to you. ~You defend Tinubu abi, when him mama die as the Iyaloja of the whole Lagos State, your mama no get brain to lead na abi?, so he went for his daughter to become the new iyaloja (just imagine). Hmmm! Good. How many dignitaries attended your wedding? But Jonathan's Daughter received over 50 exotic cars. Na lie, na cheap propaganda. Infact na toys them give her. What a shame, on you na. ~They ruled your father, they are still ruling you, their kids are beginning to rule you as well, and maybe rule your born and unborn kids, with your support. Abi no be you dey vote for them? On election days, you risk your life and properties just to get them back to office. What have you been receiving since you've been voting? Nada. Yet you go still vote ooo. So pathetic................ -You struggle everyday, queue for fuel, enjoy interrupted electricity, but they don't feel this. While you run after public transports, Dino Melaye and his cohorts flaunts their wealth in your face, ride exotic machines. Oh! It's the lord's blessing, and na satan curse dey upon you abi? Issorite. ~they make use of religious tactics, they use our Pastors and Imams to divide us, oh I remember! They are Men of God, and you are Men of Devil? They spit from their private Jets, it lands on you while you're on your private Okada. Kwontunu. ~the problem of this country is not the few crooked pot-bellied leaders(looters), but the teeming foolish masses. Until we realize the battle is "we" against the "elites", things will never get better. Support intellectual revolution, supp

If we have just 500k youths that can reason like this, Nigeria would be a wonderful country were justice and equity will exist. I commend you. I read from beginning to end. I feel very happy logging into nairaland today cos of this ur write up

Southerns especially these young ones on nairaland. Dem swear for una. This is what will even embolden the fulanis. When we are supposed to stand united to crush these murderers that want to take the peace and harmony we enjoy down south. Some very shallow youths are here recalling how many Yorubas and ibos have being attacked in the past.
U are confronted with a problem instead of thinking of how to tackle it you are broaching up irrelevant stuff. I believe even a 16 year old has the ability to think critically. When we read what some people post here its just irritating

After serving for 8 years ad a senator under the banner of PDP Smart Adeyemi of Kogi state defects to APC. Probably to be given a soft landing as regards so many shady deals perpetrated under him as chairman of the FCT

These animals in human skin weh dey talk say PDP destroy Nigeria for 16 years is it that una dey suffer self imposed amnesia which people constitute APC now? I wonder why you numskulls can't put up superior argument s without insulting people. Abi must everybody agree in a democracy. Oh I forgot u have all been infected by your lord and masters dictatorial tendency

The way land racketeering is going on in FCDA now, croonies are being allotted lplots of lands with impunity as el-rufai did in the days of Abuja. They are concentrating so much on prosecuting corruption in the last administration and its happening under their nose.

So many Nigerians are use to city corruption as a way of life. The buhari factor cannot faze them. What is happening in rivers state? Why are the results being held back. He who must come to equity mist cone with clean hands. APC and PDP are the same just a change of name. Abeg youths shine your eyes ooo

Its really appalling when you see how APC supporters just stupidly are suffering and bottling up their suffering. PDP I made sure I criticised cost that is NY duty as a Nigerian citizen. Youths that should be able to reason critically will come here and say crap like PDP destroyed Nigeria for 16 years. I beg to ask 90% of this APC members were part of PDP and contributed end to the destruction of the country. Buhari has achieved what he was aspiring for I respect him for that but I keep wondering whether in 2015 this was the best Nigerian to take us to the promised land. I followed his campaign and it was only corruption he talked about the rest was packaging. There is serious corruption in different facets going on now that is why bikes ply expressways in abuja, cows can be seen walkinbun the middle of roads in maitama

byrron:
A country were a certified Dunce becomes the president while a SAN/PROF becomes his errand boy?

Sick country with mentally challenged citizens.

Where a journalist is appointed minister of education and a professor and former vice chancellor his Junior minister and somebody is trying convince me to give the old man time is funny. He got itnall wrong from the beginning cos he is a bigot

This was how book haram was attacking churches at the beginning of their bombing campaign and Muslims felt very comfortable with what was going on till it started affecting everybody including those in abuja and they started crying wolf. They have destroyed the north east and wasted lives. Monies that would been used for developmental purposes would be expended rebuilding the north east. The Fulani marauders have started and a president that says he belongs to nobody cannot come out and make any bold statement. If two people are killed in a high school in US the President reassures his people and make them feel he feels what they are going through. Femi Adesina had the audacity to call Nigerians wailers. That is how stupid they all become when they get into power. Are we serving them or they are supposed to serve us. Why can't people speak against this buhari? Why are people afraid to tell him the truth. See how things are spirally down daily and some numskulls will ask us to give them more time. We will give them four years but that man should be very careful a government that has a good policy direction is known from day one. Why is everything so hard for this government otherwise simple things. Salaries are paid on the 5th, petrol seems like rockets science, power generation like landing on the moon, insecurity on the increase. Try travelling to Kaduna and see how your car can easily be snatched or you can be kidnapped by the same Fulani that were paraded on NTA today and people won't tell buharithe truth. Make them continue but Fulani's should know u can push a people to a limit. When everybody cook food for Fulani them no fitnchop am finish they are giving everbody a reason to unite and face them.

A unit was installed in my section of the office it cools very well but its still less than three months old so I can't vouch for this durability
