Progressive ideas kiil you there GEJ

U should hide ur face in shame... an adult like u supporting evil calling black white.
Is it th 0.5% cyber security levy that is progressive to u now? Or the 35% inflation is what u count as progress for ur life?
Shameless corn

DeLaRue:
Interesting.

One thing about this President is that he is BOLD

He goes where no previous leader dared to go.

1. Fuel Subsidy - removed. GEJ folded at the first sign of protest at Ojota.

2. FCT minister - gave it a Southerner

3. Student loan scheme - in the works

4. Coastal road - ongoing

And so on..

But this horrible 0.5 or 0.005% tax on bank transfer his government wants to introduce is too much. We are hearing too of Telecom tax. There's the dreaded Band A electricity palaver on ground.

Excessive taxes are suffocating the people and the economy

But he is bold abi... wait till he tax ur entire income... shebi u don't want to be reasonable, continue

Light78:
So you want to tell me that Muslims don't buy things from their Christian customers?


Typical Nigerian Mentality. The same Davido fans are following Wizkid, Tiwa, Rema, Phyno and so no...

There is nothing like true fans. Everyone follows one another.



The guy already said it: Davido no be him God. Simple!

Accept it and stop unnecessary arguments.

I'm talking about diehard fans of davido who might 'dislike' wizkid.. u don't put ur business on the line cos of so called celebrity fights

Light78:
Why does he need Davido to upgrade his life when he has something doing?

You don't even know what you are saying. You think money is everything.

Have u thought of Davido fans that are his customers?

MEEVEET:
Why would you use Diesel when u can use CNG

Anyways while private cng plant might be comparable to national grid,
1. It cannot be cheaper cos of economies of scale
2. Many smes cannot afford the cost of d gas plant... in that it is an extra capital burden.
3. U create severe pollution in a lot of places vs a central place where it can be better managed
4. Everybody handling gas is more dangerous than it being used centrally/pipeline can be dangerous too in Nigeria

MEEVEET:
There is no how u want constant power n your power bill would be below 150k monthly... Unless government subsidies it which we can't afford now ... And yes 98% of people who don't have 24 hours electricity can't afford it

Power is not an issue for an industry really, if we had a adequate gas pipeline network it CNG... It would be far cheaper for business to generate their own power than buy power from nation grids numbers don't lie
If you want the maths I can do it


And yes ooh if you can set up s factory, setting up a generator unit won't be the issue


Forget what you used to know

Name a business that's better to be ran with national grid power than generator. I dare you.. Let's do the maths together

This is crazy... Diesel generator vs grid power?

nedu666:
Cardi b and tinubu thinks Nigeria is above defending its currency, something every opec member is doing gallantly.

Point is we don't have the $ funds to do that.. our only source which is oil fx has dipped by about half since 2015.. upon that , we are also paying back $loans and have a higher import demand...

helinues:
It's now Buhari?

Don't be confused guy, be stable

B quiet and answer the simple question.. if emiefele was so incompetent, why didn't buhari fire him? Doesn't that show leadership incompetence on his part if u can't fire a lying, poor performing official

And DISADVANTAGES !!
There are both.. U must consider both exhaustively not hastily choose to hear what u want to hear...
Insecurity is not zero.. teenagers do a lot of knife attacks with one another.. U can't discipline ur children the way u would like.. expenses are in pounds not naira... u get to deal with adverse weather which is a more painful problem than having to fan yourself in the afternoon when there is no light.

akuneme:
What if.

That means he could be wrong. I would listen to more people in the UK and then weigh my options.

Also, insecurity in the UK is almost Zero.

As a freelancer who resides in the UK, I get better chances to get hired by businesses in Europe and the US.

Anyhow you want to look at it, there are advantages.

stagger:
Yes but in the UK,

- you do not queue for hours to buy fuel
- you do not buy fuel for generators
- you have access to a proper government health insurance system
- well managed transportation which means you really do not need a car to move around
- no touts on the road trying to extort you like this new task force roaming about Abuja roads.
- no police, VIO or FRSC officials trying to extort you on the road for flimsy stuff.

In other words, those things you spend money on in Nigeria, you find that the tax deductions actually pay for them in UK so you do not need to spend again from your pocket.

Also, the Britons don't like seeing your face there. Can u imagine how it feels not being wanted everywhere u go? Have u imagined it might be a worse feeling than driving on bad roads ?

akuneme:
Better person 😂

That's foolishness..what if they are correct... then u go and have a hard time ? You have to consider risks as an adult!!

ThiefnubuBandit:
Those who want a better life will still travel out of this hell-hole. 20,000 £ is more than 34 million Naira. And that is the least annual salary the poster wrote there. You dey whine? Which job wan pay a Nigerian youth up to 34 million NGN every year for inside Naija? Abi nah all these one-man business wey full everywhere?

If you work for 3 years, you will be able to invest in a business in Nigeria that someone residing in Nigeria will not be able to start with 12 years of working.

So u want to work for 3 years and come back with say 33M assuming(impossibly) u save 30% for d 3 yrs and invest in a business right ? So can u explain why those who have 40M already in Nigerian are seeking to travel to the UK?

CrossRhodes:
Always youkay people telling us why you shouldn't come...gatekeepers of youkay una well-done oo

Have u considered what if they are being truthful ?

Too many jokers in this country...
Imagine 6.7m for well used muscle

You are just a talkative! Deal with d main point on ground, u had to travel to sokoto and back just to discredit d messenger and the point.
Is it not true that some sec students don't know anything and "pass" exams?
Is it not true that some teachers and parents are responsible for that ?
So why beating round the bush cos u have ur hatred for the messenger ?

Are universities better?

Universities where lecturers for no good, justiciable and reasonable reason will just be hating students


Where not less than 70percent of lecturers have tested the Kuntus of different female students


See, it is even lecturers that are encouraging laziness among the female gender; when these females finally experience that allowing them lecturers stab their womanliness won't kill them, rather it will result upgrading their actual score, they will be looking down on hardwork.



Lecturers will contribute to your low self esteem, which mostly last a life time; they will humiliate you in such a way that you strongly believe that you are a failure



Forget what Pan Africanists tell us about loving our blackness and continent Africa; black man is nearest to the giant fork wielding devil with tail.



Listening to these lecturers talking ill about politicians will leave you in wonder and aware; you will be like is it this heartless man that is talking about immorality of politicians





To hell with the opinion of university lecturers







Lastly telling secondary school teachers and parents to muster all their efforts for the development of students is like a dentist filling up a rotten tooth without first clearing the cavity. The government are the ones that should first be told to be responsible.

Due to governments callousness and wickedness parents who should chanel at least 50 percent of their energy on their children won't have no choice but to muster more of the energy on work in order to feed, shelter their family.


So government should first be talked to before writing hypocritical letter to parents and students

mcjohny:
Ask questions brodaman

U will be surprised at ur findings.
Do you know a Fulani man cannot take his cow to the southeast owing to the security of their cows. They would rather sell 2 or 3 of their own cows and buy grass lands or immature maize plants than plying that risky part of paying almost 3 million to transport their cows only for them to be killed by ...

What questions ? Something SUDDENLY became rife and widespread when buhari a fulani fundamentalist became president, No single prosecution of a fulani killer talk less conviction-- have u asked yourself the question of why?

And all these deflecting away from the actual problem by the OP is the reason tinubu has not dealt with the problem.. he himself deflected back in 2018 asking where are the cows

CandidAdmin:
The rich ones aren't the ones killing people.

When given cows, the herders feel too big and then do anyhow. But the real owners don't know about it.

Just a theory

So the point of d matter is this fulani menace that has stopped people from going to the farms that wasn't a big problem b4 buhari time is not caused by rich indigenes!!! That's d point I want to be clear rather than mixing things up... the fulani killings & kidnappings of farmers is NOT sponsored by indigenes, it is sponsored & perpetuated by the Fulani hierarchy !!!! And that's what should be dealt with if u want a solution.

https://www.nairaland.com/8077091/attahiru-bafarawa-bandits-forced-me--Look at that!

Just imagine-- how logical is it for a rich man to contract fulani herdsmen ito rear cows in his town.. they kill people and come back to kill and injure people and he is happy working with them ? Will he not be bothered they might one day kill his friends or relatives who are farmers in the town?

Pecoleee345:
Anyway I know comprehension is a big problem.

I clearly wrote situation i experience in the southwest..


You can't see fulani in your village if no one employed him to take care of there cows.....That the common sense.

See don't let's mix things up... the widespread attack of indigenes across different states and that starting all of a sudden in buhari 's time is not just caused by the various rich indigenes.. they were emboldened by the fulanis in govt , in police, in the military with buhari being the chief enabler. Even this ur town case, did u have fulani coming to kill people in the area? Did they tell you that it was rich indigenes that sent them to kill the people ? I doubt

This doesn't make sense... why would indigenes across multiple towns and states instigate the killing of their tribesmen cos they don't want to pay for feeds for their cows?
What's d probability that it will happen across different tribes and states?
Pls common sense should be applied when talking about these issues

U have judged well in this matter, Lord CoronaVirus

CoronaVirusPro:
That’s a good one!

Responsible student should be expelled, remanded and sent to juvenile detention centers.

Anything short of these only encourages bullying.

Student need to know there are severe consequences for every crime they commit.

As for the parents of those bullies, they should be jailed for 1 year for raising thugs, and still having the audacity to enroll them in public spaces where sane students abound.

As for the students watching while their colleague was being bullied, each should be allocated one acre of grassland to cut and cleanup, for aiding and abetting.

oluwaseyi0:
Price of things are still very high

And besides you need to explain the miracle of bringing the dollar from 1900 to 1100 without defending it with foreign reserves, something doesn't seems right from my investment banking point of things

No increase in production, no increase in oil earnings, Dangote refinery is still at infant stage yet

Perhaps the price increase was artificial/manipulated in the first instance... $ was around 1,250 for about a month till January ending.. what made it rise to 1,900?

Imported goods should have reduced in price while locally produced crops are going up in price because of herdsmen problems in farms

Wainey:
CBN said they are not using the reserve. This is determined by the market.

This is Nigeria where u shouldn't take all the govt says hook, line and sinker.. for instance d govt recently said there has been no subsidy AT ALL for the past 1 yr which from simple arithmetic ratios u can conclude is a black lie.
CBN has been supplying dollars through BDCs and much more through the banks! It would be naive for u to think the only cause for a N750 fall in d usd in 1 month is only banning binance or releasing paltry $60M/wk to BDCs

The only thing I see is while the yorubas are the most socially intelligent people in Nigeria, the igbo support for IPOB agitation was partly due to the oppression from the federal forces back in 2017. There was once MASSOB during OBJ period which didn't gain much traction back then cos there was no federal oppression at that point into time.

.

thesicilian:
There's still time. They still have 7yrs to prepare.

U & helinues should be ashamed of yourselves

garykoeman:
Official rate is higher than parallel market.

Can u explain how naira is being defended.

That alone should tell u there is a problem.. hw will official rate be higher than black market rate?
Where does that happen ?

For how long will the CBN keep draining the reserves at the rate of $2bn/month? This is despite also preventing the IOCs' 50% remittances...when we all know the long lasting solution is increasing crude production, FDI for local production. We are now importing maize cos local production is no more there... tha'ts more fx demand. Anyways, let's all watch the game the CBN is playing as it unfolds..

First thing is u are assuming that not bathing in the morning is d cause of the odor... I seriously doubt that! especially something that just started all of a sudden and she baths everyday. I believe it's a medical condition and u guys need to visit a dermatologist/other doctors to get a solution ASAP

LVStone:
Dears,

I am married to a wonderful woman indeed, beautiful in and out and I have no regrets.

However recently I noticed strange body odour from her, the first day I came in and observed mild strange smell, without being malicious I said just blatantly said "what is smelling in this house" , while trying to check around I moved closed to the chair she was sitting and it became stronger then I told her maybe she needed to bath because I noticed she hasn't.

Please I need honest counsel and not abuse, if you are not married please don't respond to this, thank you.

RaptorX:
That their miserable gloomy weather is enough to drive you into depression, most of them on anti depressants and mental health issues is very widespread. Give you 1 or 2 years before you get tired of good roads and steady electricity and see it as no big deal.

Like the gloomy weather alone trumps good roads and constant light not to talk of the racism , d cultural shock & d social life u will.miss

https://www.google.com/amp/s/nairametrics.com/2024/04/07/nigerias-fx-reserve-dips-by-1-02-billion-in-18-days-on-cbns-naira-defence/%3famp=1
So it shows that the reserves are not being replenished at the same volume they are selling and there lies the problem.. infact depleting $1bn in half a month is excessive especially when a high crude oil price should increase it .... This is very unsustainable!!!

being:
This is what both sides of the argument needed to note.. yes CBN is selling from reserves but as long as it keeps getting replenished at same volume, no issues.
My addition is that the major reason why there has a been a higher supply is because the IOCs have been mandated to keep 50% of their sales for 3 months b4 repatriation. After 3 months, let's see what will happen. Long term solution is higher crude production, more exports and local production !
