Capital flight

[b]There is no business that can survive selling anything imported

Reason $1= 1200naira
The goods are now too expensive
Nigerians have very low purchasing power
These shops cannot make profit servicing only the few rich people in the country.
They are better off in a country with a buoyant middle class......

More shops will be closed, more foreign companies will leave as well.

Your Trade minister also has no clue what she is doing, you need someone who is tested and trusted, you can re-allocate her to another ministry, but get a trade minister thats ready on day one.

The senate should also start inviting all these ministers and questioning them on what are the measures they are taking to alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians. Tinubu should send another ministerial list to senate for clearance at least 2 for each potential ministry, so that the current ones can sit up and know that they are replaceable(Call them reserve bench ministers). We dont have to go through 4 years to know a non-performing minister !!!

Also, that mistaken identity bombing, No country should bomb its own citizens, In a civilized country thats
1-Grounds for impeaching the president. (You are the commander in chief, you swore an oath to serve and protect Nigerians).
2-The Army officer in-charge should have submitted his resignation honorably.
3-There should have been a ruthless senate hearing , where the army should have been cut to size and held accountable, killing Nigerian citizens mistaken for terrorists is high up there as treason in a country thats not at war ?? Even Ukraine,Russia,Hamas and Isreal are not killing their own citizens by mistake.

Sweeping this under the carpet shows weakness from a Commander in Chief.

Please Stop singing that song "Bola on your mandate"......You make the whole government look like a circus. It only makes the Commander in chief look like the Commander in Clowns[/b]
You said it all well. You are patriotic. 👏🏾👏🏾

But what if you going to office. Will you go without bath?
I wish you visit jos, kaduna, or kano. You will understand how severe harmattan is to them. Only afternoon is manageable when the breeze blows with a touch of warmth.

You are right brother. Jos and some part of Northern Nigeria is not a joke during harmattan season. You will even see people in group or in family units making camp fire in their compound and seating around it just to feel warmth.

Antivirus92:
Yoruba is not popular even in Nigeria and outside. There is a very high tendencies of someone who is not a Nigerian to know one or more words in what they call Nigerian language such as bia, Chineke m ee, aru, etc which they learnt from nollywood or adventurous Igbos .
Everything about Yoruba ends in Lagos and the few non Yorubas living in it
That's not true. For me to criticize an opinion of a fellow yoruba comrade on this matter. You should know that, I welcome reality against bias. Yoruba is one of the southern language that has contributed immensely to what is recognized as nigeria pidgin today. Fact is there in the lyrics of different artists across all ethnics making contemporary music.





Beside, there are more yoruba prefixes and suffixes added to spice up pidgin to a greater extent compare to the influence of other indigenous languages on pidgin. Everyday word like: 1) oya let's go = let's go now
2)
Noun like: 1)Oga = Boss
2)Ashawo {from Ashewo} = prostitute
3)Gbedu =great beat)
4)Werey{Were} = mad person
5)Omo = child
Exclamation like: 1)lai-lai I wouldn't accept = never would I accept.
2)Kia-Kia = exactly right now.

Other words like: 1) shey you go follow me= will you follow me.
2) your gra-gra don too much = your overzealous is too much
3) japan = run away
4) patapata = completely
5) kuku kill me = just kill me (when you are overwhelm with someone stupidity)


These are bit of what all tribes of Nigerians speak outside Nigeria. Lagos Binin to Asaba. Ogun Abuja kaduna to Kano. I have been in all those places I can testify.

8k multiply by 26 informal working days in a month equal to 208k
208000 is not too small for a non skill worker to start with in today's nigeria

SQLmastar:
Yoruba is the de facto official language of Nigeria. Spoken by 65.66% of the population. It should become adopted as the 2nd official language.

Other languages spoken in Nigeria are irrelevant. They should be jettisoned.
I'm a yoruba but how many northerners understand tips of yoruba language. Yoruba don't solely have the ground where hausa language is, when the topic of second national language from our indigenous languages occur.

This is kind gesture but at the same time, I wish Wizkid is financially wise. Rihanna is a successful artist but she uses her fame and popularity to build business outside music which is currently booming and may likely boom pass the peak of her music career in the future. This is what should overwhelm wizkid now; not spendthrift spending.

Politics / Refineries Are Not Created To Reduce Fuel Price. Kyari by AncientAlien(m): 3:33pm On Dec 09, 2023
Forty eight hours after being summoned by the Senate, the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Mele Kyari, has now appeared before the joint committee on appropriations.

The Senate had issued a 24-hour ultimatum on Wednesday to the NNPCL boss after an observations that he had in previous occasions, shunned summons by the Senate to appear before its ad-committee probing over 11 trillion naira expenditure on turn around maintenance of refineries in the country between 2010 and 2023.

Responding to questions by the senate committee on appropriations on the potential drop in pump price of petroleum owing to the expected functionality of refineries, Kyari clarified his comment after he was interrogated again. He explained that it might be possible to have a reduction, but it is not the main objective of the refineries.

He buttressed that maintaining the energy security target has fostered the confidence that in 2024, Nigeria will become a net exporter of petroleum products.

The NNPCL boss affirmed that no subsidy is charged to the federation, adding that the NNPC has contributed 4.45 trillion naira as direct revenue into the federation in a combination of taxes, royalties and dividends and paid 406 billion naira as dividend to Federal Government’s account from July 2023.

According to him, Nigeria does not have credible data for PMS consumption in the country because of the absence of the instrument to measure.

The Chairman of the Senate Appropriation Committee, Senator Adeola Olamilekan, had on Wednesday, directed Kyari to appear before the committee in 24 hours.

Olamilekan, who asked Kyari to appear in company of the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), warned that failure to appear undermines the legislature and sabotages the process.

They are required to present the list of all individual companies operating with OML licenses in Nigeria as well as total production output approved on a daily basis.

The lawmaker expressed concerns that some of the revenues required to drive the 2024 budget was attributed to the NNPCL, which according to him, was owned by the Federal Government and responsible to it, and by extension the three arms of government.

Politics / Oyedepo’s Prayer Made Me Minister—betta Edu by AncientAlien(m): 2:56pm On Dec 09, 2023
The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, says that David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church, popularly known as Winners’ Chapel, prayed for her to become a federal minister in Nigeria.

Edu said the prayer was said for her during the 2022 edition of Shiloh, a yearly programme held by the church.

While speaking on Friday at the 2023 Shiloh on Friday, Edu said, “Church praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!! My name is Dr. Betta Edu and I came to thank God.

“Last year at Shiloh 2022, I prayed and told God that by the next time I come for the next year’s Shiloh, I want to be a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“On the last day of Shiloh, just as I was walking out, I saw Papa, Bishop David Oyedepo. And I went to greet him and meet him as usual, and I whispered to him, ‘Papa, I need you to pray for me. I have just one prayer request now’. And he said, ‘What is it?’ I said, ‘I want to come back to Shiloh 2023 as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria’. He put his hand on my head and he said, ‘It is done’. I stood up and I left.”


Edu said, “I came today to return all glory to God that in spite of all odds, today I’m a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; one of the youngest in the Fourth Republic.

“People of my age are not at the Federal Executive Council of Nigeria in this Fourth Republic. But today, I can boldly stand here to say, ‘God did it’. I came to return all glory to God.”
