Same way CNN, BBC and FOX news are pro zionist and highly biased filled with propaganda and hasbara.

CNN and BBC pro Zionist? How? This your desperation has led you to write trash

Carrick should stop playing rashford in cunha's position and they need to start playing more direct football. Why did the mods remove this thread from the front page

omoredia:
So Dangote was also getting stolen funds from nnpc? He didn't get stolen fx from cbn by order of his brother Buhari? Keep clowning

Oga rest! You don't have a point and you have gone off topic. After attacking the Chinese, you're now attacking dangote. Whether you like it or not, foreign nationals can come here and do business anytime

ManU trying to play a perfect football is not really going to help them against Fulham. They run out of ideas once they reach the box. The midfield is also porous and lammens has been saving them cos they would have easily gone like 2 goals down in the first half. I believe Carrick would have to bring in baleba. Rashford is off today but they don't even have a better replacement for him. ManU cannot win this game. They need to be more direct if they want to cos Fulham is playing more direct

omoredia:
Danote is the cabal. Bokku is a new business. Is Globacom still in business. Guy stop being sentimental.

These your excuses are null and void. Dangote was not the cabal. The cabal were the nnpc who were using proxy accounts to steal funds. They really destroyed a lot and wanted to frustrate dangote's vision. Bokku is a business that has been in operation since 2022 and have successfully expanded across Lagos even into ogun and Oyo states. Globacom is in business. Globacom already enjoys government support so what else do you want? You want government to cripple MTN, Airtel and other ISPs to prove to you that they support their own? This is the kind of unintelligent mindset we don't want here. We're not xenophobic and will never be. The sky is big enough for every bird to fly

omoredia:
It's not greed. A govt is supposed to protect its own citizens businesses about all else. Even in the US the govt protects their local car industries from the Chinese. That's how it should be

Is dangote refinery not protected? What about bokku and does globacom not receive waivers? What else do you want? Competition is here to stay especially if that competition would promote common sense

stanluiz:
Do you know what the traders are passing through in this harsh economy ? Do you know how much it cost to clear a container ? Including the high import duty fee, shipping and logistics fees and other government taxes etc.

Have you done importation business ? Or you just come online dey yarn opata.

You are calling the trader selfish and greedy but you don't have problem with Dangote selling 1bag of cement for 15k. Something that he produces here with the raw material available for him and he doesn't import it yet cement is very expensive!

What about fuel ? I litre for 1500. In a country that has oil. Dangote keep hicking price despite FG granting things like Tax waiver, free import and export duty fee etc. What has the traders benefitted from the FG ? Nothing!

Go and start your own business and sell cheap. Since you think say e dey easy like ABCD.

Abegi enough of the container nonsense. VDM no later expose una? Abi no be same container the Chinese people go still clear? As for dangote matter, he needs competition as well so that one is normal. If the Chinese come here and sell cheaper then your stance is flawed. December dey come and price of poultry would quadruple. Dem dey pack chicken for container too abi. This is not even about container now. If basic things being produced here are sold at prices higher than imported stuff, does that make sense?

jmoore:
Many Nigerians don't even know that Chinese have a cement company in Nigeria.

Lafarge cement was acquired by Huaxin Cement Co. Ltd, having purchased 83.81% stake of the company.

Whenever the high price of cement is discussed in Nigeria, most will accuse Dangote for being exploitative. But we have other cement companies in Nigeria, including the one owned by Chinese.

Cheap goods are sometimes associated with Chinese companies. So why isn't this Chinese cement company crashing the price of cement in Nigeria?

Una just dey find different means to discourage people from accepting competition from foreign nationals in the open market. Una go wail tire

omoredia:
So the Chinese are not greedy and corrupt?

Very funny. Let them come first. At least you'll try something before concluding. Abi you want us to be stuck with the greedy locals? As I said earlier, healthy competition is welcome. Check great economies around the world and you'll see foreign investment. Is this not the same china that Nigerians import goods from and sell at exorbitant prices? So what are you scared of?

omoredia:
Nigeria is not a real country. Foreigners interests are more protected than that of so called Nigerians.

Keep deceiving yourself. So the government should protect greedy traders increasing prices anyhow and anytime they feel like just to satisfy their greed? Nigerians need to learn that exploitation is not business. I remember when the Lagos state government opened a food bank (ounje Eko). These sets of wicked traders came to buy and still sold the discounted products at exorbitant prices with their "get rich quick" mentality. If these are the people you want government to protect then you are on a long thing. Healthy competition is welcome. December is approaching and you'll see how the prices of chicken and other poultry animals would triple or even quadruple. Then somehow in January, prices would fall sharply. Make it make sense. Put price tags on products, no Dem no go do am so that they can easily do some manipulation. The Lagos state government have done well. This move would make things affordable and further reduce inflation. If you hate this development then it means you have never had the interest of Nigeria at heart. Do you know how bokku mart has saved many people from the greed in the open market? If Nigeria must get better then we must take out greed and corruption from our society. We cannot be fighting moves that would make life easier for the average Nigerian

Dancebreaker:
Very true.
But at times, the sender can "understate" the value of the gift. Like, use this to take the bus or keke.

But a smart and grateful person/receiver should know the true value.

As you already said, girls receive whopping sums from guys after meeting on TikTok, Facebook, etc. That's how they can afford an iPhone 17, bone straight, etc.

The thing most Nigerian girls don't value any gift anymore. They see it as mandatory now. Infact, if you gift them that 15k, some of them would tell you how your mates are giving 100k to their gfs. This is how bad it has gotten. Honestly, I don't blame the ladies. It is the guys that have registered that entitlement mentality in their heads that I blame. Several of our male musicians are guilty of this as well. Do you know there are guys who badmouth other guys behind and ask the girls if their boyfriends are giving them plenty cash then before you know it they'll start giving the girl heaven and earth just to take the guy's place. I personally know someone who did this and now the girl has even left him cos she had found a higher spender. The blame should go to guys who have created this whole thing. Funny enough, our Nigerian brothers have started carrying this same thing to other African countries and have started splashing cash on those women there. I can tell you that women in other African countries have a different mindset from our girls here from my experience with them but trust our brothers as usual, they have gone there to turn things upside down.

15k for breakfast abi wetin I just read now? What species of men do we have in this country right now? So if she wants lunch and dinner now na free 45k. No wonder why ladies see relationships as big business. Imagine how many guys are sending her money steadily. That girl can easily pull out 100k in a day without even breaking a sweat. Na him wahala be that sha. Funny thing is this girl would be telling another guy about you and be laughing hard while he is mounting her for free or way less

Arsenal don collect wotoporiously. Same scoreline with their brother. Sure say juju no dey inside that Brighton shirt. The shirt get as e be

So na poison Dem dey share for their yeye summit . Dem no poison ramaphosa well at all. Dem for give am plenty cyanide so that body go tell am

More trouble for ManU. They might surprise everyone sha

Chelsea collect wetin no good

HacheNoire:
Tell me the worst of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)?

He has failed to prosecute sponsors of terrorism simply cos they are in his party even as Nigerians are losing lives daily. He is frolicking with a known thief called yahaya bello simply cos he is in the APC. All of a sudden, his sins had been forgiven. Tulumbu is only interested in campaigns while terrorists are having a field day. Donald Trump is far better than him. When he was not yet president, he said "na statistics we go chop?". Now suddenly he and his croonies are providing cooked up statistics of how the economy is moving forward but no evidence on the ordinary citizens.

HacheNoire:
The dumbest president in the human history!

Counterfeit of Putin and Kim Jon Hun

The convicted morbidly obese orange turd shitting on his diapers forgot he is in a democratic country!

You will never be Putin, Kim or Xi! The media will rubbish your soiled diaper ass!

Tinubu has done worse but somehow you support tinubu and despise trump. Na hypocrite you be.

myspace:
Nigerians are not xenophobic. We welcome every law-abiding foreigner who comes to do legitimate business.

For years, Igbo traders have outcompeted many Yoruba businesses through aggressive pricing. We heard no Yoruba outcry about that. Now the shoe is on the other foot: Chinese traders are applying the same playbook, and suddenly some voices want them shown the door.

Competition, it seems, is only “unfair” when you are the one losing the customer.

They would learn by force to stop cheating customers. They would cry more until they are ready to learn. The same Chinese they buy from are the same people they wanna chase away. Very funny people

Why the house be like shrine like that? >:

vikstandon:
Please what did this people do on Oppo Reno 5?

That phone get power. I have been using mine for 5 years, e still dey power.

This your last sentence na lie

Anything under the umbrella of TRASSION.

ALL XIAOMI PRODUCTS ARE KING

You're just here to market xiaomi. The xiaomi series with the smooth performances are Mi series, Poco F series, Poco X series, Some of the Poco M series then some of the Redmi note series. The ones which can make you regret: Redmi A series, Redmi series, Poco C series

Julibet:
Tecno, I've had more than 5. I bought Samsung last month and I immediately understood the difference. Never again!

Mention the 5 tecno phones you used and the Samsung you're using now

The black fish is sweeter and more nutritous than the fair one.

See this one. Chai! Dem don come again

Armaggedon:
You think you're fighting the Igbos but Igbos will somehow find away out of the problems for themselves while the ultimate loser will be you. Those businesses you see that you call trade have other businesses that rely on them. When you allow a Chinese who borrowed from China with 3 percent interest rate to compete with a Nigerian who borrowed in an incredibly weak currently with 30 percent interest rate, it not competition, you're killing your economy. Commodity prices will be determined in China, profits will be taken back to China and it'll spread to other sectors, not just retail.
If this is the usual post to get at Igbos, Igbo will find a way out. The ultimate losers are the ordinary Nigerians.

You guys are greedy abeg. No dey play victim. We need the Chinese in computer village too. Let us see who would laugh last. That was how I saw an item advertised for 150k and I had to call the number to confirm before going to computer village. The guy confirmed the price but when I got there to buy the next day, he started acting funny and said it was 160k. He was now saying dollar had risen. Very evil stuff. Had to leave there and get it elsewhere. Sadly enough, it is very common in computer village and it's your people. Let the Chinese come and let there be competition that would reset their heads.

So taking down the Air Force jet means they have won abi what kind of crappy post is this? Even look at the poll that failed to achieve its delusional aim. When Saudi starts attacking, they would start emotional blackmail. See how much Iran has funded rag rag militias around the middle east and Africa and yet some people still feel comfortable with it

Why are they afraid of the Chinese people? Cos those ones would spoil their dubious business for them. Healthy competition is welcome abeg. It would drive down the prices of commodities. Many of the local traders have been so dishonest over the years

ManU still doesn't have an excuse to justify that loss yesterday. It was a shameful loss. Nothing can ever justify it

Peacecore:
How do expect a 10-man to posses you? They really passed through their defense and midfield before scoring anyway and the possession percentage isn't bad

Nobody is saying that they shouldn't possess City, just execute the style perfectly and get the goals. They couldn't even score with all the ball possession.

ManU team is not learning anything over the years. Not learning from mistakes. Same old story. They ain't going anywhere this season. You see this city team that played them today ehn, they played nothing special. They just had to apply the typical ManU style which is to absorb pressure and attack fast and that was how they got their goal. ManU decided to play city possession football and lose against ten men. It's a big shame cos city was there for the taking. ManU don embarrass their fans again

HISGRACETELECOM:
I don't know what is special about it so far my one month salary can buy a plot of land in anywhere in south west apart from Lagos I don't care. As for the first five countries listed, can their 1 month salary buy a plot of land in their respective country?

This me and myself mentality shaa. Who told you those foreigners can't buy lands in their countries? They have rural areas and suburbs there too. From the way you talk, I can easily deduce that you haven't traveled outside Africa before. You're buying land in rural areas and somehow you feel like advertising it here. I don't understand o. This is something many Nigerians have done over the years just by even saving parts of their salaries. The problem with those lands you are buying in those places is that you can't get much profit except you wanna use it personally but if you are after profit, na Lagos o. Massive one! These same foreigners you are clapping back at would comfortably build houses in Lagos. That tells you how bad your system is and how badly your currency has lost its value. So the average wages earned by Nigerians is not okay at all. Don't justify bad governance. Those countries earn wages per hour not our regular monthly salary.
