Made a country useless then swooped in to run all its affairs. The US gentrifying a nation the way they treat housing. Make our leaders no allow them do the same thing here. I know the benefit of the masses is not their concern. Having a place to call home is my major concern. I do not like the thought of colonization.

Is colonization by Western powers not better than oppression by Nigerian politicians?

South Africa and Zimbabwe in the early 2000 were better than most African countries. Becoz they were better managed economically by colonial masters that refused to leave.

What is your standard / cost of living under your current political leader?

Leave the matter bros.

We joke too much in this country.
Your Government that does not obey your court order, you now want Facebook in America to obey your court order.

Facebook (Meta) may pay him if they accept the misdemeanour, or appeal it. This is becoz the amount involved is small. I don't even think $25,000 is up to how much their top directors earn in 5 days.

On a flip side, it will be a huge cashing-out for baba Falana in naira terms.

Are you sure it's not Obi Cubana that is flexing with the Pastor Jerry.

Not judging thou. Just my view.

Christianity is way deeper than all these circus.

Morocco has 2 cities on that list.

They don't have oil, gold, diamonds or rare earth minerals.

Nigeria have all the above is varying quantities, yet citizens can hardly feed.

Osimhen and Yekini, which one wil.u choose?

Yekini for sure.

Osimhen will surely break all Yekini's records by far thou. But for now, we must honor the legend.

Osimhen will take that spot in 2 years time if he remains consistent.

Celestine Babayaro instead of Taiye Taiwo.

Emmanuel Amunike in left wing position. You have to remove Yekini from the wing.

Osimhen and Yekini plays same position. You have to choose one for the team and slot the other one in the bench.

In as much as I like some aspects of Donald Trump, esp. his right wing ideologies. However, his excessive use of force and intimidation in achieving his personal international/geopolitical goals will obviously hasten the decline of the American empire.

The American thriving foundation was built on trust, carefulness, and intelligent interrelationships.

Every great empire had similar declining patterns, and Trump is obviously at the edge of the same errors of the dominant Roman or British empires.

It's often significantly start with a huge debt, territorial control/funding, and currency manipulation issues.

For more understanding, check the below clip on the life cycle and the declining trend of a previous empire:

Trump is looking for trouble everywhere.

I wish the American legislature can control his excesses, but just like Tinubu in Nigeria, they are toothless.

I hope the American people can remember the scale of their current debt. I also hope they all understand that the USA does not have the funding capacity for a multi-facet global war currently considering de-dollarization issues and many others.

Yeah. Osimhen is supposed / supported to be praised not harrased by fans. The gives his all to both country and club.

I watched the short video clip of that pass issue scenerio on Youtube, Lookman absolutely wasted that chance and Osimhen was just alone and could have easily scored if the ball was supplied to him.

Before you criticize him again, kindly go and check the video.

That is why citizens are rejecting new tax system, no matter how much money generated by government through taxation, 80% of it will go to politicians pockets and wasteful projects.

Politicians are stealing billions, government too are dashing out billions at will, and they keep saying they need to tax the poverty striken citizens to have more money to spend.

Exactly.

Politicians will keep having lavish lifestyles and free loots. Where as, the govt keeps looking at the account balances of struggling Nigerians to deduct tax from the little they have left. It's pathetic and we need to awake.

Kemi is trying to play along with the big daddy.

No balls, no firmness. Just manipulative as expected.

Even thou the subject narration is inaccurate.

However, after misappropriating and siphoning country's resources.

After removing subsidies that should make life easy for citizens. The next step is for Tinubu and Oloyede to be deducting monies anyhow from struggling individuals accounts without their knowledge or permission.

People that are supporting this govt are sick honestly.

Reference:
They are good players needing good coordination.
Chelsea should learn to embrace and live with good quality coaches and at the same time learn to discard poor quality ones in a timely manner. This they have not managed in the last decade.

You have given the guy a very proper answer. Correct.

Tinubu was marked by Trump for removal.

Trump would have served him the same food he served Maduro if Tinubu had thrown a jab back at Trump when he roared against Nigeria recently.

Tinubu was wise and escaped the trap for now. He kept quiet all through and did not do anything to contest the external aggression.

Venezuela, Iran, Nigeria are heavily under Trump's interest and watch.

Obi is brilliant. . I also perceive him as a diplomatic leader.

But most brilliant people are usually not strong-willed, determined and bold. You need the traits therein to lead a stubborn nation like Nigeria impactfully.

Peter Obi, Femi Adesina, Yemi Osibanjo etc. Will give the ideas, but don't have the balls to stand by it to the tough end.

Save more and spend less na my agenda this year.
I really see shege last year

Hi dear.

Very rich people save very little but invest much of their funds.

To be continuously rich, you have to learn to send ur monies on errands for continous multiplication.

Happy New Year to you.

The leading countries on that list were war ravaged countries. But now, they have been able to attract some trust and stability to their system.

Even Zimbabwe and Benin republic are now growing well marginally.

But here in Nigeria, the only thing our leadership know how to do is to steal funds, or kill industries with inflation, high running costs and tax, tax, tax.

Ogun state should not destroy our handsome AJ for us o with their terrible evil roads.

AJ, thank God for your life, pls take a quick flight back to the UK.

In Hollywood, you see several male actors (Tom cruise, Arnold, Reeves, Stalon etc) buying expensive properties, cars etc in Los Angeles, New York etc.

But in the Nigerian film industry it's only the female stars that are buying expensive houses, brand new cars etc.

Only the US govt can arrest him. And am not sure that's a possibility with regards to International laws.

The guy is bigger than President Tinubu in Nigeria.

Why is this dude always restless and panicking each time there is a serious attack or headway against terrorism?

He should shut up and let the country tackle the issue.

If Tinubu cannot suspend that useless inhumane tax law to Nigerians, he will be impeached.

He has proven to be a hyper greedy and selfish leader. Just concerned about himself and his collective slavish cohorts.

If he can't fund his further expenditures, he should explore more borrowings.

How can citizens of a country without war become so poor. Enough is enough.

Joshua knew this before he entered the fight nau.

These guys are professional fighters and they know the deal.

You can criticize the US but that’s the ONLY place to earn $98M for “non title” fight of less than an “hour”.

Also, the reason these Western countries are doing well are from TAXES. See road, see regular electricity, see non stop water. How many Nigerians pay taxes from earnings aside civil servants and a few others.

Most of the biggest government critics don’t pay any tax at all!

Do hawkers pay tax?? Mechanics nkor? Vulcanizers? Market ppl?!? Agberos

We ain’t serious!

Bro, are you talking about over taxing a people that 85% of them sees buying Chicken, Sandine, Fish and beans as luxury?

The issue with Nigeria is not non-taxing or taxing, it lies with systematic deep and brutal corruption.
It is messed up.

If Tinubu taxed Nigerians 50% from January, I can tell you for fre that the derived proceeds will still be wasted and looted as usual. Thereby creating more stark poverty.

The UK and some EU countries need to over-tax becoz they have noting to fall on. Nigeria have abundant mineral resources. We shouldn't be in this pressured state at all in the first place.

And the way out is still not over taxing the over-stretched people.

If he can't generate ideas for now, he may borrow more to fund his expenditure. I believe you are staying abroad or have some pipes to free politician monies. That why you guys talk like this.

Emu4life:
Them dey plenty now

MarketSquare
Prince Ebeano
Boku H-Medix
Sa'ad Store
Everyday
Just Rite
Etc

Yeah, that's the fact.

Especially Boku, Justrite etc here in Lagos are becoming like RCCG. You see one at every 5 kilometer drive.

Axis313:
Dangote really mean these people o.
He just want to wreck the marketers that imports fuel.
Anyway,may their price war benefit Nigerians.
AMEN.

That is why an alternative to Dangote must remain. So that prices will remain competitive and reasonable.

One of our football prospects that year.
The moment he started mingling with that Phoebe of a girl on social media I knew something sinister is in the offing

Lol! Same thing actually came to my mind too.

It's well. That lady was all over him in his apartment. That was the last time we heard anything meaniful abt him.

All this noise so they can collect their own share.

EFCC should be the agency to spring up on top of this case, but the oil people know very well how to always grease the pockets relevant officials ahead of time to forestall any issue.

Dangote knows the game and is very well a player in the market. He knows the only way to ruffle the feathers is to bring the game down to street level.

In the long run, it will be inevitably very messy at both ends.

Dangote outlayed about $20 billion on the refinery facility, and later purchased about 4,000 ($470 million) CNG powered trucks.

I believe his anticipation was to significantly carry the refining and supply chain load of the downstream sector of Nigeria's oil and gas.

In my opinion, Dangote obviously saw that NNPC and the regulatory authority kept circumventing his plan despite spending such huge sum. He said " I am fighting for my survival".

That's what made him become so radical and restless.

For me, he didn't do proper feasibility study before buying that much trucks, despite the concerns that lead to the need for it.

Also, it is also very wrong for Dangote to be flagging Farouk's family matters in such a business context. Afterall, all of them have dirty linen.

Every Nigerian funded the Dangote refinery project via CBN's FX subsidies and virtually COT free transactions on his accounts. Don't let's go into the means of his capital acquisitions.

He needs to be careful, because Tinubu can be unpredictable and won't allow Dangote to have his way unchecked as previous leaders.

Emmy000seun:
Lol...🤣🤣🤣..you think chicken is d problem or even food?? Nigeria is one of the country where things that supposed to b cheap and at all time affordable are luxury, and people only think about it occasionally...🤣🤣..if you commot for Nigeria you will realize chicken is very cheap and not valuable..🤣🤣..it's well .. people only like to come back home just for old vibe fun and atmosphere..nothing more

Thank you for such a response. Spot on.

10 years ago in Nigeria, basic meat and food was not a luxury o.

This was nothing more than an exhibition match for A J.

Fair enough, the way dubolis beat Joshua like a kid, he needed an extended break from boxing 😂

AJ could beat DD if he did not underrate him and went very technical and clinical with decisions.
