How do you mean? What structures?

LordAdam16:
Seun, the naked, continuous attempt to run interference for Tinubu's administration is nauseating.

Can you at least pretend to be fair or balanced?

There are topics referencing yesterday's drop from ~660 to ~770. You and your mods refused to move them to the FP.

Yet, three hours after the I&E window closed today, you're personally pushing a deliberately flawed narrative to whitewash a troubling development.

Tinubu met the rate at 460. The rate is currently 756. In only 3 weeks. Some would argue that is an early indictment of the so-called
Tinubunomics. But hell will freeze over before you draw attention to anything that remotely suggests that.

You are part of the nation's intelligentsia. Act like it. You're not some no-name blogger whose sole priority is to push political talking points for breadcrumbs.

-Lord

I dropped my phone and applauded, sir.

I read in Chinua Achebe’s ‘There Was A Country’ that the Yoruba intellectuals who should have immediately opposed the tribalism of blaming Igbo people for the coup and steady dilapidation of the system prior to the Biafran war, were actually the ones fanning the flame, probably for selfish benefits. Even the Yoruba intellectuals in media like him! As a Yoruba, I was baffled.

We must be careful how we use the word intelligentsia. True intelligentsias would look at their history books and see the synonyms in their character to past traitors. How can one be part of the intelligentsia in Nigeria and still be mixed up in tribalism nonsense? What intelligentsia is easily convinced to push false narratives for such shallow benefits?

Karlman:
OP!
Haven't you heard?
We are in Chapter Two of APC's New York Best Seller Book, Titled; 'How to Kill Nigerians While They Hype You!'

Thats your own copy of the book!

Man, I love this your post so much!!

Oyinbo said if you push a man to the wall, he may react desperately but they didn't say about when you push a man to the wall and then bash his skull into the wall so he's brain-dead like Tinubu is doing some Nigerians.

It's almost like a simulation; fools celebrating as thieves appoint their thieving brothers, then one clown posts up their profile, whilst the country plummets. Same format since 1999.

The country is sinking because oil thieves are walking freely in daylight. The country is sinking because Dangote and Otedola who still bought Rolls-Royce last week owe Nigeria billions of naira. The country is sinking because the cost of running the govt itself is unsustainable.

When Nigerians go even do this Revolution thing wey the entire world don do for equity. The monthly salary of a senator is far above her yearly pay as someone working in the healthcare. Haba! The gap is too much.

SmartPolician:


Stop being intolerant!

If Black South Africans are happy having white South Africans share their country, why should a Nigerian be complaining?

Mind you, those folks in North Africa are not black and are still considered Africans. So, not all Africans are black!

Who told you black South Africans are happy about apartheid? Lol

Na your mumu na e too much! You be mumu! You're a Mumu Man!
Have they not left you?

If you use a Non-Explosive Composite Fibre Cylinder, you won't have to worry about explosion with LPG, LNG, CNG or any other type of gas.

I'm just waiting for the results to come in, so I can decide on what to do next with my generator.

In terms of pricing, it is possible that petrol prices will fall a little with less demand if many Nigerians switch to gas to fuel their cars and generators, but what will happen to the price of gas with the high demand? You expect price of gas to remain below N700 per kg?

Thank you for your last sentence. Nigerians will use all sorts of skills and stupidity to shy away from revolution.
Switching to gas is NOT the escape people think it could be.

wonder233:
It is not an aphrodisiac. That is a stereotype. The drink is just a plant based milk drink. Nigerians and their obsession with aphrodisiacs, anything that looks creamy is automatically an aphrodisiac.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nigerians are funny. It aids digestion, increases bowel movements and could also improve one's mood coupled with the placebo effect it already has, I think that gives weak men erections. When I started eating them often I realised it's nothing.

The bad side is, I was going through terrible constipation and someone saw me eating it and called me a bad guy 😉.
In fact I have to hide in the market whenever I buy all 3 of them cos immediately people think otherwise.

ALL OF YOU ARE WORSE THAN TRYAGAIN77

The Nigerian government and system everyday rapes, insults, dehumanizes and spits at all of us and we've been taking it for way, way more than 9 months.

I saw some people here saying they'll fight the boss till their last breath, saying one of them will meet heaven that day. All na mouth because the Nigerian govt rapes you everyday and you do NOTHING.

Some of you even go through something very similar at work but because you're paid N200k, you keep quiet, your dignity is for sale.

Make it make sense. The Otedolas n Dangote's owe us trillions of naira through AMCON, the salaries n benefits of the govt officials is outrageous BUT the first place the govt turn to save money is from we the absolutely poor Nigerian people through subsidy removal.

Clear evidence that you can push a Nigerian to the wall and even use his head to break the wall.

Ifyz0001:
Sorry chief,

But sincerely there should not be any privately owned business that you should allow to owe you salary.

It's only govt that should owe you.

You can report this to civil right office and see what comes out of this, since he still owes you salaries and still withholding it, there is nothing to loose than to report him.

You can find another job, walai...it would have been better for you to become an agbero than to accept all the inhumane things the man did to you.

Find another job while learning a skill and who says you will die.

And why should govt owe us? You n him na same o

7upnigeria:


Its d system that works in those countries. Why didnt you cite countries like china, UAE, Saudi, North Korea or even South Korea. Western countries are more of conquered territories where they still live with native inhabitants. Many of the countries mentioned above have the native inhabitants as the original owners. Settlers and visitors cant come and determine the pattern of leadership in those places. Same goes to many African countries, trying to force your western style of leadership where ANYBODY from nowhere can come and become their President is an invitation for WAR.

You're bending the narrative to fit your story.

The system of government we're operating is very similar to the Europeans. The culture of politics is very similar to that of Britain as Nigeria was it's colony.

In Lagos, before your balls dropped, Igbos were governors.

I can't understand where this selfishness of power is even coming from. Isn't Osun State and Ondo State underdeveloped just like some other states in Nigeria. This should reveal to you that what matters is where the heart of the leader is not his tribe. Do you know some of our Yoruba leaders are more European than Nigerian/Yoruba at heart?

Pick up any book on your African history and up your consciousness my brother. Pan-Africanism is the only way. We need you.

pandoragirigory:
Nigerians didn't call for destruction of USA, UK, etc like Kanu nnamdi did and one Igbo boy Chinasa Micheal burn BRT buses in Lagos, Nigeria didn't execute coup and robbed USA, UK, etc like mostly Igbos coup plotters did in 1966, Nigerians didn't force themselves to be elected like Igbos was forcing one Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour that detested yorubas on them

You've singlehandedly reduced the level of intelligent discussions on NL to zero. What you've written there is so regressive. You'd expect the most opppressed skin on earth today to be the most read and to be having vital discussions on forums like this, talking about Capitalism, Socialism, Pan-Africanism, mental emancipation and the likes, instead na meaningless Tribalistic arguments.
Any single book you pick up on your African history will preach Pan-Africanism to you and you'll raise your consciousness to understand how imperialism or neocolonialism's divide and conquer works but no, you don't want to read.

Do you know a lot of young boys and girls are reading these your retardeddd posts? All these your micro stupidity fake info could rub off on them.

Pretty sure Chinese govt have enough shares in Nigeria to upturn such a plan

Sunshine34:
Messi is good no doubt but he lacks football business. MLS money compare to SAUDI OIL MONEY . He supposed go wipe in money from Saudi after leaving Europe

He can still go there after MLS lol + the deal with Inter Miami is juicier than those Saudis I think.

Saao:
He made more sense, wike is a smart and lucky politicians I must confess. He is also principled..
Those of you quoiting me, don't even listen to him on channels. He made much sense when he said, APC now have another opportunity to redeem themselves from the past misgovernance, and bad leadership. He was/is principled when he said the power must return to the south if not the election could have been work over for atiku. He was smart because even though he prefer Peter Obi but he knew he will be rob of his mandate by power that be, that's why he supported and rig for Tinubu. And he said he will never leave pdp that is principle. And many more

You’re a walking contradiction, my friend.

N3TRAL:
I'm a bonafide south south boy but let's face it- based on those figures, APC no too chop Nigeria's money.

What Jonathan's administration spent for subsidy for 4 years is almost double what Buhari spent for 7 years.

If you divide Buhari's figure, it is lower than what Yaradua spent in 2 years and what Obasanjo spent in a year.

APC may have its problems but you have to admit that their subsidy figure is the lowest in the history of Nigeria.

The data also shows that Buhari's major problem may not have been misappropriation of funds but he couldn't run the economy well. The percentage the naira fell during Buhari's era is scary.

At least under Jonathan, we can point fingers to who and who did it

Hambivert:
People like Timaya don't have a particular political ideology. All they are interested in is, how it is going to favour them. Once policies stops favouring them, they sparogatively start to cry.
I don't hate him or wouldn't stop to listen to his 'good songs' if he drops any, because, I've come to understand that's who he is
...a leopard with unremovable spots

I totally agree. He and his fellow entertainers can be likened to mere jesters that put on a show for the kings in the mediaeval times. They fool and make mockery of themselves so they can be tossed a coin or two by the king. Afterwards, the king taxes the people including the jesters 3 coins. Lol.

In 2023, equity is worse and the people have been thrown into convulsive depression which means they need the jesters more now to forget their hardship. They made the jesters important. Imagine if we didn't..

(EDITED)
I think I just got a revelation of a theory. What if every single act of the masses especially one that is oppressed is an act of shying away from revolution. For example, the masses thrown into depression and hardship BY THE KING for his 3 coins tax ought to fight him and NOT try find solace in the jesters. That's shying away from the real issue and it'll continue for a million years.

We need to quit listening to music and watching movies. They're not art. They're coping mechanisms. A few months deprived of these things WILL trigger a revolution.

Evergreen4:
The subsidy that was removed from kerosene, diesel and gas, what did they use it for. Subsidizing fuel is the only way we the common masses enjoy anything from the government if not the politicians share our common patrimony amongst themselves. Before removing subsidy, government should make thinks easier by fixing up refineries, ensure stable power supply and improve transportation by providing workable rail system. All the time our government keep comparing the price of fuel in Nigerian to the price of fuel in Saudi Arabia but they don't compare the rail way and stable power being enjoyed by the Saudi's. Government should continue paying the subsidy and reduce the cost of governance. Salaries and allowance of legislators should be reduced, the office of minister of state should be collapsed and if possible we should practice a unicameral legislature by scrapping the senate. If am this is done, they will save cost

A colonial master wannabe who confessed openly that he increased the salaries of the judiciary in Lagos by insane amounts to curb corruption is who you're expecting to scrap the senate? He'd rather increase their salaries to save cost.

Essenza01:
I really don't know anymore, i just did my budget for the month and i am scared, i have cut from everywhere possible and i fear for my self.. i dont have a GF, Wife, Children.. my salary is N400,000 and i have added side businesses and one or two's to even survive.. but with this fuel increase, what else is left... zero savings..

Total = N556,500...

My rent is average rent for where i stay, its a two bed flat, i use the other room for home office..

Feeding is N2,000/day.. its not anything out of the ordinary.. tried cooking and spent more with time wasting.

Fuel for car is at the new rate of N500/ltr, my car is a 70ltr car tank..

Auto maintenance is basic brake pads, shocks, service 2mths, tire guage, police pr, tire purchase if any, minor touch ups etc... nothing major.

Fuel for generator is 20ltr/day (2hrs or less daily)

I need help.... how are you people doing it, what am i doing wrong? The rat race is killing me..

First of all, there are so many articles about how your annual rent shouldn't be more than 2 months of your salary. You should begin looking for a 1 bedroom that cost less than 800k and everything will begin to make sense. Some bedrooms are large enough for both work n bedroom.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
You all can see the difference between a man like Peter Obi and Tinubu. Peter Obi made sure that it is not a family affair right from the word go. This great man didn't allow any of his sons to partake in his campaign even. But Tinubu, his children were so involved in his campaign and now see what they are doing already. I just hope that the judges will listen and reason with us in court. Nawa o.

The sheer insensitivity of it. It amazes me that they killed people in 100s just last week, that Nigerians are going through avoidable hardship and the daughter of the leader, an adult can do something like this. You'd have expected her first act to be visitation of victims' homes.

I see the Tinubu family as a coloniser family.

This has to be one of the worst starts to a govt in the history of mankind. Confusion, killings and hardship. What next? President travelling out for more health palava amidst the chaos?

I don't believe you. Many times you let personal interest influence your conduct as Governor Of Lagos. Alpha Beta, increasing your benefits as ex-governor etc. These are gross misconducts.

tydi:
Lol
Even his cows might had given up on him too

Modifed :I hope Tinubu won't say raw agbado is easier to eat than cooked agbado if perventure he fails Nigerians too.

😂😂😂😂 well done sir! You're the only NLer that's made me laugh in months!

Flangelo12:


I never read your dirge.

Goddamn, black man.

Flangelo12:


This one just go write thesis because of small question.

Instead of demeaning the education because it's beyond you, why not just read it and keep quiet. For what it is worth, I hope it raises your consciousness.

Capitalism is the reason you're waking up at 4:30am to go work for somebody/yourself and returning home at odd hours. Capitalism is the reason you're bound to do this routine for life.

The Capitalism competition is unnecessary and it is literally after your life, because if you lose patapata, you no go fit chop... simply because one guy won build or buy flying car.

Let me explain this part above. Since Capitalism na about who get there first and I can do what I want, even plant wey dey grow on e own wey suppose provide food for you to just sleep wake up and eat and sleep back, one man don go collect am as per Capitalist, collect the one wey dey e compound too con use your own swap for flying car. Now, instead make you sleep taya for sweet life wey u come, you go stand dey monitor your tree 24/7 (going to work everyday).

Flangelo12:


What is wrong with capitalism?

If you were given the visa to USA today, tell us you wouldn't go.

What makes you think I haven't already visited USA? Besides, what's the point with your question? Why not use Angola or Sudan, also capitalist countries.

Use this phrase as a guideline when you think of Capitalism -- "Just because you can doesn't mean you should"

CAPITALISM
The question should be what isn't wrong with Capitalism? Capitalism is a forced concept by European elites that allows them to do and take/use whatever belongs to the populace whilst impoverishing that populace. Capitalists pay peanuts to the populace, introduce insane working hours which we do for years, so they(Capitalists) can live anyhow and create waste.
Capitalists use our commonwealth/natural resources to create their wealth, so why do a few people get to decide what to do with our resources with go-ahead from the govt... because the Government is an extension of Capitalists/Elites in a Capitalist system.

Let me explain further why Capitalism is an elitist tool for exploitation. If capitalists could have their way, they would use our resources to build enterprise and make immense profit without employing a single person. Capitalists do it for themselves not for you. In Capitalism, there's always the winning side and the losing side instead of humanity side. Africa is losing Capitalism because USA/Europe is winning Capitalism. Dangote and a few MDs are winning Capitalism but a huge amount of Nigerians are losing Capitalism.

IMPERIALISM
Capitalism birthed colonialism/imperialism. Imperialism is Capitalism but on another nation's soil. Capitalism allows European Capitalists come into Nigeria and take natural resources, use it for enterprise, SIMPLY FOR PROFIT. Imperialism is insanity because initially blacks didn't have employment at European companies in Nigeria exploiting Nigerian resources SIMPLY for white profit. Does it make any sense? "Just because you can doesn't mean you should"

COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM
The idea in Karl Marx's Communism is for EVERYBODY, through the central authority, to decide what is best use for our resources, regardless of whatever innovative/passionate ideas individuals have. And the enterprise we decide on, everybody through the central authority decide working conditions and we all will be paid equally.
Under communism, enterprise is built for employment/comfort of the people not for profit. There are no poor people in Karl Marx's Communism.

Profit drives people crazy. Capitalism is why we're going to the moon with tax payers money amounting billions of dollars when there are poor people all over. "Just because you can doesn't mean you should"

Flangelo12:


It is a stupid thought.

If it were sited in Ondo state, won't people live there?

The refineries in Warri did not kill people.

See as you dey fight for capitalist who probably used your own money to build that refinery and will now pay you less than you deserve to work and refine OUR oil so he can become a billionaire. The only thing you should be doing is scrutinizing that refinery and it’s health hazards, not defending it.

Dsalvo:


You are the one who is sanctimonious and, most importantly, unprogressive. Have I denied any Nigerian is prejudiced? Including myself? I even bolded "myself" so you can see I am no hypocrite, always playing innocent victim, like you.

It is only your kind always playing victim because you view your future and fortunes as inextricably tied to 'one Nigeria' to the extent you cannot put pettiness aside to see the bigger picture.

You will even be going after individual when existentialist issues, affecting 200 million plus people, are being discussed because that is how incapable you are of rising above sentiments, emotions and bias when it matters. Something most responsible and progressive adult should be able to do.

Even in the most bitter war, mutually beneficial ceasefire can always be deployed between the most bitter of enemies for the greater good.

All you are showing here is just the petulance of a simple-minded adult, akin to a kid, who can only focus on people and not ideas.

If you claim people know me here then you should also know that most understand I am progressive always above everything else. Unlike pathetic haters and sadists like you looking for beef online always that deliver no solutions.

If those I even dislike are making progress I will be first to congratulate them because progress is what is most important.

Everything else, that we are all guilty of, are mere distractions. Those who do not understand that, like you, are the real and unreformable bigots who live to hate and blame.

How can you talk about progress when Tinubu and INEC have regressed our electoral system by 2 decades. Why not begin your fight for progress from the election which is most recent?

God1000:
Nigerians should stop hailing our leaders when they return from abroad

Have you guys ever seen people from Asia and the west behaving that way?

What a country

Lol quit calling them leaders. They're mere politicians/businessmen/thieves.

Ajens1991:
He should be released with a condition of publicly apologising to the slapped officer and the Nigeria Police Force.

I'm pretty sure they already asked him to do that but knowing what Seun believes in, he'll never compromise like that. Hence, the whole unnecessary prolongation of the issue with the hope that it'll break him.
