As CBN or what?
Thank for these millions Naira question, has NNPC constitute itself as ultimate government, or what power do they have to go and borrow on behave of Federal government to put money in their purse. Where is CBN and Ministry of Finance? Where is economic team that suppose to take charge of our economic policies.
Education › Re: FG Insists Federal Universities Not Allowed To Charge Fees by benjaminlawson(m): 12:29pm On Aug 16, 2023
FreeStuffsNG:
FG is right to a significant extent.

Apart from the University of Lagos (UNILAG), no other federal university has increased its fees or permitted to increase its fees.

That's the status quo for now. It shows how smart and proactive the UNILAG management is; they quickly designed a template to help them recover the increased over head costs, went through the due process , defended it, got FG approval, took the approved adjusted fees to the university unions and got the unions on board. UNILAG gained the first mover advantage as the door is shut against other universities that came late after the HOR resolution.
That's the signature brand UNILAG university culture benefit of having experienced university administrators.
Great university with smart leaders. If you no attend UNILAG, the university of First Choice and the nation's pride ehn, you don miss something very valuable.Check my signature for free stuffs!
Please stop this lying, all universities has increased their fees, starting from 2022/2023 session, it because unilag just started their own 2022/2023 session, also the fees universities are charging for the services they rendered, is it not outrageous? They do this because no one asked the VCs how they expended the internally generated income. If we see the visitation panel report, we will notice that large percentage of these income went into personal purse. So the university are expected to revert to 2021/2022 charges, because all of the has increased it in this correct session. They have to consider parents who are experiencing hard economic situation now.

You can only remind someone who you know better than him of his responsibility.
Pressuring the Judges to declare someone who came 3rd in an election, could not be a reminder of responsibility.
Obi and his Lawyers had close to 2 months in the court to proof, how they won election, .
You have forgotten that Uzodima came forth, and he was declared winner, when the result is correctly tabulated and calculated, we will then know the genuine winner
Business › Re: We Will Name & Shame Commercial Banks Engaged In Illegal Sales Of Dollars – CBN by benjaminlawson(m): 10:46pm On Aug 10, 2023
Our CBN has now becoming a toothless dog, how can the whole CBN claiming they will name shame bank? Where is their big stick to confront and discipline any erring banks. Their controlling power now limited to naming and shaming banks. Did we tell them we dont know their name. Nigeria is drastically turning to a nation without law and regulation, where individual behaves the way they wants.

You think she's a northerner because her name is aisha? She has done more for LP, Alex otti and by extension abịa state than you. Our government most be cricicized by all when they go astray. Don't be like the SW people who see everything from tribal lenses
Don't generalise please, only the agboros in SW that see things from tribal angle. That is why you see many Yoruba leaders failed to blindly support them, respected elders like Baba Adebanjo, Obasanjo and many others, but that does not mean that if the man do what is right tomorrow they will not support him, what they want is justice and equity.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Buying Of Jobs, How Long Has this Been Existing? by benjaminlawson(m): 2:08pm On Aug 09, 2023
It was made official policy during buhari regime. If not that Nigeria is turning to a lawless country, how would a public officer confessed that he is collecting money from job seekers running to millions of naira and be allowed to go home and sleep. These are the people that no one collected a naira from them to enter the service see what they have reduced public service to.

But if this boy was an Igbo boy, they will use insult finish the boy.

Nawaooo for our Yoruba people,

Always pretending they don't harbor bad blood, but the thing is inbuilt in them.

Congratulations boy abeg.
You people are making mistake by condemning all Yoruba race. Those people are spilling our race they are few, and they are the one who claimed political entitlement. But most true omoluabi did not support them, for example, baba Obasanjo, Afeniferes, Dale Fatiroti, these are mostly selfless Yoruba leaders, not those that are so corrupt that everything about is corruption.

Suppose we are in a sane society do the executive arm of government needs any letter before doing what is right and constitutional. The problem of this country is not subsidy payment but, but corruption in the NNPC, and up till now the kyari is still moving freely after inflicting hardship on Nigeria, while Emefele who committed the same economic sabotage with him has been in prison up till today.

What pains me is that democracy has been thwarted in Niger, but what gladden me is that shameless losers like you have shown you do not care about democracy anywhere but only wanted power.

Our government that have no money to attend to doctors demand, but seeking approval to go to war in a sovereign nations for matter that does not concerns us, From where would the money come? Subsidy removed without palliatives, our children school fees increased. What did masses do to our government to treat us so badly like this.

NIGERIANS ARE OPPOSED TO ANY ILL-TIMED WAR.
My concern is, where is Nigeria going to get money to fight in Niger. A government that claimed there is no money pay continue all social services like fuel subsidy, education, health care, good roads etc, suddenly plan a war, where is the money to prosecute will come from, even if we have saved money from social services Withdrawer, then we should use it for war.

Wainey:
Niger does not have what it takes to stand ECOWAS.
Also I don't want this war on Niger, they are trying to find a govt that will suit them, but I seriously don't want them to think a military dictator is better than a democratic govt.

I think they have to look for a voice in Democracy than settling for military rule
How would they have voice in democracy, why the so called democratic system has turned themselves to object of suppression and intimidation using the same security apparatus to achieve this. Even all other arms of government; legislature and judiciary has been pocketed by so called democratic government. The point am trying to make should not be misunderstood that I support military government, but what am saying is that, the democratic principles must be abided be the players, so as to avoid coups. Some of these leaders also use the same security forces to perpetrate themselves in government, if that is the case what is the difference between them and coup plotters?
Politics › Re: 2023 Election Most Credible In Nigeria’s History – Tinubu by benjaminlawson(m): 8:40pm On Aug 03, 2023
We really miss former President Yaradua of blessed memory, who publicly admitted that election that brought him to power was not free and fair, and he backed it up to introduce genuine reform plan. But the present one is claiming the election was the best,while the whole world is having a contrary view. The question is if can make this conclusion, how can he make any attempt to improve it.

I hope they traveled at ECOWAS expense, the government that makes life difficult for her citizens on the excuse that there is no money to subsidies anything, must not use unavailable money for bobo nice project in other nation. We don't want to be busy body in other country's affairs.

I disagree with you on this, our president has categorically stated that there is no more coups in West Africa as chairman of ECOWAS, being it military coup or civilian coup through rigging. So we believe him on this.

Tingotoe:
You lie. The NUC is the federal body that regulates ALL UNIVERSITIES in the country and the rules state that nobody can get admitted without having at least 5 credits. There's no different rule for state or private universities
You are completely talking out of ignorance, we two set of laws, southern law and northern law, all our constitutional law are for southerners, while the north is govern by their own suitable law. That is while some have mention it earlier that students from south will be required to produce 130 over 200 before admission to unity college, but in the so called same country, another will be required to score about 10 over 200. Even with the fact that all students have gone through the same curriculum.

jmoore:
SURE P Version 2.0

It is stupidity to claim that only a select few benefitted from subsidy, at the same time you still acknowledge that Nigerians are suffering from subsidy removal.

If only select few gained from subsidy, why are you talking about palliative? Common sense should have told you the poor also gained from subsidy, that's why they are suffocating now that it has been removed.
Am on the same page with you on this. My appeal to me. President is that those few that scammed us on subsidy, should be arrested and charge to court until every naira they stole is collected back, because more than 200 million Nigerians are suffering because of their wicked act, mr. president cannot tell Nigerians that we should endure without making these people suffer for their corrupt act. There is no solution even in all what mr President said yet, because all those people that stole our trillions of naira in subsidy, are there to steal all the billions naira mr president is planning to be used as palliatives, will still go into their pocket, while the real beneficiary will still languishing in their poverty. The first solution for any sincere Nigeria leader in tackling our problem is to first fight corruption, if this is done, 50% of Nigerian's problems will be solved. Mr president first tackle corruption before any other thing, and reclaim our money in trillions of naira back.

To investigate the corrupt dealings of Emefiele. Or are you angry that Mr. President is fighting corruption?
For your information, the president is yet to fight corruption, he is presently fighting his foes, if someone can be charged for possession of dane gun in his house, because he is an enemy, and a supporter displayed AK 47 in public, and the same person is working free on our streets, then the question need to be asked. If the president is interested in fighting corruption, all MDAs in the country needed to be included, because all of them acted as it please them without check and discipline in the last 8 years. So Mr. President, all Nigeria are glamouring that the investigation must not be selective but must be total including INEC.

Senator Akintunde that moved the motion is a Yoruba man, he knows well an adage in Yoruba that " pele lako, o labo" means the tone you say sorry matters most. It is not their fault its all lies on people who always sells their birth right for a plate of food, and that is why they are making life difficult for ordinary citizens, so that they we will not have the mind of ourselves, but surely Good God of Heaven will deliver us from their hand. Even those in PDP and Layout Party we expect to provide reasonable opposition to their wicked policies are keeping quiet in the house, its unfortunate.

Don't bring this idea, during Liberia intervention during Babangida, only Nigeria was left to finance the war, our government that can't finance our subsidy, education of our children, health for the people and other social services, we now tell Nigerians that they want go to war in Niger, God forbid.

A Yoruba adage says bi iro ba lo logun odun, ijo kan ni oto o ba. Which means, lies may linger for 20 years, truth will catch up with it within a day. Now this is the same government that set up a commission to investigate the killing, they sat for nearly a year, conducted diligent investigation with open facts, submitted their reports, but someone sitting down at the corner of his rubbished want they have done in the name of so called white paper, honestly if this is what white paper is meant to be achieved I think it is high time council it use in government circle. It only in a lawless country that this type of madness is being exhibited. What they deny in the so called white paper is they now termed as no one show up to collect the corpses, how would they come to collect what you deny?

You are completely talking out of ignorance, what OBJ did, no past president have done it. He make effort to get debts relief for Nigeria, where about 40% of our revenue is used in servicing, after paying more than 12 billions Dallas. Now if any one ask the past government we have 8 years ago to bring even one billion Dallas to write off our debt, where would they get it, because all our common wealth resources has been shared among themselves, with other so many thing OBJ has done. Please let give kudos to Baba.
Education › Re: Reno Compares Nigerian Universities' Tuition Cost With That Of Other Countries by benjaminlawson(m): 5:59pm On Jul 23, 2023
nairalanda1:
Well, a lot of people in developed countries too pay back loans they get to go to school.

2.We provide our water and electricity because we do not want to pay the market price for water and electricity utilites...meaning that the companies do not have enough cash to pay for these things...and to pay for improvements in the supporting infrastructure for these things. So ironically we have to spend money to provide those things because...poverty.(And even then, in many parts of Nigeria people get water from the water supply, so let's not lie.).

3.A lot more people have survived malaria because malarial drugs are heavily subsidized here (mostly by NGO's, and people like Bill Gates...yes him). Try buying malaria drugs overseas...you will scream.

4.Again we provide our own security because the NPF gets one tenth of what the NYPD gets to police one city in the US...TO police one nation. And to raise that money, we would have to tax the 70% of poor Nigerians who do not pay taxes to state or FG....yet we can't do that because poverty.

5.We have bad roads because, again, tax, and also because we stopped paying tolls in 2002...great idea...not. Overseas, tolls are what keep roads well fixed.

6. And abroad, they probably spend more to fix cars....because your car has to pass strict roadworthiness...more than Naija own.


Am sure you would call me a government supporter, and I assure you I am not...but we don't have good things because we do not pay enough into the system. And yes, before you start...corruption is a bad problem, and it makes our bad situation worse. Plus oyel is not enough for a country our size....it would be if we are ten million , not the 220 million we are.



Do I like saying the above? No, but it is what it is.
I don't know who had done this to us in this country? Were you not in this country when civil servant embezzled billions and trillions of naira, so we should pay more tax for them to eat, have you not heard that our national assembly members monthly salary is around 30million naira a month, have you not heard that we have about 11 aeroplanes in presidential flight. All the nations you cited above how many of them do you see that their leaders live an affluent life like Nigeria. For your information, many Nigerians are paying heavy tax, infant, there is what we even called multiply tax in Nigeria tax system, so don't deceive yourself that we don't pay tax, it is the rich like Dangote and others who government gives tax exception in trillions of naira which is part of what makes him the richest man in Africa. So if you don't know what to say keep short your mouth, Nigeria masses have made enough sacrifice it is our politicians now that needed make their own sacrifice by reducing their affluent life style.

All Federal univeristies do not have same fees. I was shocked when I read that the almighty UNILAG school fees was 16k in 2023. I told somebody that south west enjoys free education.

I attended Nnamdi Azikiwe University. I got admission in 2004 and my school fees was 23k by the time I was graduating in 2009 I paid almost 50k for achool fees.

I was evn telling somebody that If I had known UNILAG school fees is 16k that since 2012 I came to, Lagos, I would have enrolled for another degree.

Go and check how, much UNIZIK and other federal universities in the east are paying.

Believe me 100k is a reduction in what federal universities in east are paying..
That is legacy that our father, Baba Awolowo left behind, free education in south West, the likes of Baba Bola Ige, Adekunle Ajasi, Jakande and Onabanjo all continue from where Baba Awolowo stops, this writer also enjoy from the later. It all those fake leaders of today in south west who are using Baba Awo's name to win election, but failed to do the word that Baba of blessed memory did.

This man called omokry need to visit psychiatric hospital, or is it because all the money he has stolen during Jonathan government has been exhausted, so he is desperately looking for job from government, if not, how would he made such unverified comparison. Those who are charging our children high tuition fees, ask them how much did they pay during their time, government was even feeding them then, many of them were also given scholarship to study abroad. Now they are VC, permanent secretary and director in ministries, they want to take education out the reach of poor masses. It is not their fault, it is the kind of students' union government that we have that allows them, during sowore as union leader, the VC that will increase tuition was not yet born, because it will be resisted to the later. Even students do lent their voice in government policies then, like Ali must go, IMF loan collection during Babangida etc.
