I am anti- Tinubu but Cardoso is doing a great job of doing damage control to the stupidity of Tinubu impulsive economic policies. Anything that needs to be done to rescue the naira, I support it 100 percent.

When referees were busy favoring Barca, nobody claimed match fixing.

As long as the cost of fuel is high, the appreciation of the naira will have minimal effect on things produced inside the country. The cost will only go down if government can reduce petrol to 300 or 400 naira.

I wanted to shout what do women want but on a second thought I came to the conclusion that they like a nice guy with a bit of craziness. If you are too nice, they will treat like shit. If you are too hard, they will run away from you. So be nice and be tough on when necessary and they will stick by you.

The way we hate each other in this country, I wonder why we are still one country. Those who are boasting have nothing tangible to show. There is hardly any part of Nigeria that is doing well economically yet people will always use any opportunity to lambast the other tribes even those who call themselves intellectuals. I do not see anything intellectual in constantly degrading people who are not from your tribe.

Yoruba amaka.

Although saying offering Fanta saved him is absolutely stupid, he was observant and held on to the rope. The others were careless.

Our religiosity has turned to stupidity hence we don’t have contingency plan for any negative outcome. We are so complacent!

The problem problem is not traveling by boat. The problem is not wearing safety jacket. I have not seen a people that have total disregard for safety as Nigerians except for our fellow Africans.

The three major tools of evil politicians are 1. Bribery 2. Propaganda/lies and 3. Intimidation. APC is using all three in full swing to the detriment of Nigerians.

What kind of subsidy are you paying for supplying nothing. Anytime they want to generate more revenue, they will claim they are paying subsidies. The three major tools of an evil government are bribery, propaganda and intimidation and we can see that in action.

Millennial

Artorius:
These are mostly western constructs - they apply mostly to the west, especially the USA.

Only Gen Z and Alpha apply to Nigeria (and Africa) because technology makes the world smaller.

All other prior generations in Nigeria na generations of suffering and corruption and unintelligent religion...

Gen X, downwards is a global phenomenon. As for boomers, I don’t think it affects us so much because we were not so involved in the world wars. The challenges facing millennials and gen z are the same across board.

nairalanda1:
You do not like the answer of your question.

Things cost money, sadly. If you want 24 hour power, you pay the price for it. Or you take your bad power without complaining.

Your assertion doesn’t make sense when you compare the Nigerian situation to other countries in the world. Most people in advanced countries can’t survive under the conditions you are supporting. You are defending the indefensible.

nairalanda1:
Because the cost of things has no respect for your wage.

If it did, I would be buying a Ferrari tomorrow.

Government paying subsides over the years is a big reason for our debt mass.

You have not answered my question.

Tinubu is the price we pay for collecting bribes for political contestants, allowing ethnic sentiments to becloud our sense of reasoning and cowardice. The cost keeps getting higher and higher. At this point, only God can come to Nigeria’s rescue. The people are helpless.

nairalanda1:
Unfortunately the cost of production of electricity has no respect for anyone's purse especially the government

What cost are they incurring when they are producing nothing.

nairalanda1:
Yeah and it can't be for all because we aren't paying cost reflective tarrifs.

In the big countries everyone pays a cost reflective tarrif, and also pays enough in tax for government to pay some form of energy subsidy for the very poor, not for everyone.

In Nigeria, not only do we don't pay a cost reflective tarrif, millions of us openly steal electricity and as a result the power companies don't have enough money

Yeah , even the profit they made last year...they owe far more than that to the gas companies. We haven't even mentioned the one they owe the tax man.

Forget politics, forget apc pdp nonsense, me I never voted for apc in my life, but it is a thing that the only way to let a business run well is to allow it to charge the prices they set. And to never pay then consumption subsides

We've subsidise power for decades. Time to try something different.

You are free to disagree with me.

My question is how can the cost of 24h power supply be higher than the minimum wage? There is no where the average monthly minimum wage is less than the cost of 24 h electricity supply.

nairalanda1:
People living in band A are the rich and wealthy.

24 h light should be for all. Stop all this classification.

If not for outright foolishness on some Nigerians defending the wicked policies of Tilumbu government. Why will e everyone not be in band A. Secondly, how can payment for band A be higher than the minimum wage ?

buJu234:
I don't think we need to divide the country but to change our system of government revenue sharing.

Let every state or region generate their own money, then pay taxes to the federal.

Development always start from the grassroots, and it's easier to develop a small place than a big one.

As we talk, economy of Lagos only is bigger than alot of countries listed there, so imagine uses 95% of her IGR on herself for everything excluding only military and ambassadors. U will see a state with 247 power, trains, trams etc

How do you know the economy of Lagos is bigger?

oz4real83:
Check the population or existence of the fulani tribe in all these countries, then you can conclude on your own why Nigeria isn't on the list

Do you know that the Fulani originate from the Senegal and Gambia. Stop blaming Fulani for the situation of Nigeria.

Tinubu and his goons have seen that Nigerians are very weak-minded people and are taking full advantage of it.Who will rescue Nigerians from their oppressors? The people are without hope.

Odidigboigbo:
To the best of my knowledge, Lagos is not the only state in the SW. Why is the template not work in other states (Osun, Ondo, Ekiti, Ogun) Tunubu has major influence on before now.

Lagos was built by Federal government when it was Federal Capital just like how they are building FCT now but Rivers state is being build by Rivers. Mention any significant landmark project owned by Lagos state or Tunubu when he was a governor? Lagos is one of the dirtiest state in Nigeria with a terrible Road network

Maybe tomorrow, when Federal capital is moved another place, and FCT is made a state, they will claiming of building FCT.

Almighty Tunubu has been given Nigeria to build, we can see how he is building it now.

Don’t mind their empty boasting.

Our kind of politics is filled with hatred, deception and corruption. The purpose is not to serve but to become rich.

It is only sheer economic ignorance and lack of statical knowledge , that will make someone to think that because your tribe is well-represented in the few richest people in Africa, it means you are doing well. The question is what is the average purchasing power of the tribe this people come from? Because Dangote has consistently being the richest, does it make the northerners richer than the south? The wealth of a society is measured by the distribution of resources not by the number of few billionaires hoarding money.

Happy birthday, may your life reflect the conditions of Nigerians as a result of your policies. May people do to you as you have done to Nigerians.Amin!

I really don’t know why the moderators will not ban comments that are indicative of violence and ethnic hatred such as the headless children of IPOB. I would have loved to abuse such people in a more direct manner but I would receive a ban but people who insinuate violence and ethnic aggression in a subtle way are allowed to continue on the platform uncontrolled.

The only promising future is early death. It is either they drop their arms or they perish.

tophempire:
Naira is only surviving on borrowed dollar... In 3 month we should be back to 1800+.

Who wan bet

As well as I dislike Tinubu’s government, praying that the currency will depreciate again is almost evil.

True, because he was enjoying the money collected from the government of Lagos and also playing the sycophants to Buhari. Also , he did not foresee that his cluelessness and impulsive behavior will create hardship for the people. If it were more reasonable climes, he would have resigned and apologized for his lack of foresight. A leader that lacks foresight will lead the people to doom.

LagosFirstSon:
Ekiti the outcaste of South west ?

Say something else .

Ekiti is the poorest and one of the yeye states in South west followed by Ogun and Oyo

Kiss the truth

To say the truth. After Lagos, Oyo state is the next best state. Ogun generates huge revenue but there is little to show. My rating is Lagos, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, Ogun, Ekiti in that order.
