What is Your Rating of Tinubu's Administration in One Year?
On a general scale it will be absolute ZERO.
But to be fair enough let the ratings be based on the various aspects of the economy or based on the ministerial portfolios including that of the CBN governor and any other appointments as it concerns the economy.

rotadeco27:
Even NLC knows that what they are proposing is not realistic,but with the reality of things , 100k should be the minimum wage. Things have gone 3 times up , from the 30k it should be like 90k, the extra 10k will kind of balance the reactive inflation in response to the increments.
With this proposed #100K and given your place of residence can you put up a template on how this money will be spent in a month and how much is left for savings.
Just do a template for a single person with no dependent.


Food
Transport
Utility bill(Electricity or water)
Tithe/Alms giving
Toiletries
Provisions
Gas refilling or kerosene

Politics › Re: NULGE President Hails Ekiti State, Two Others On Local Government Autonomy by bixton(m): 8:45am On May 29, 2024
BondRiv:
The NULGE president is not in touch with the plight of his members and the current situation in Rivers State. There are elected chairmen now whose elections were conducted by former governor Wike. However, the present clueless governor Fubara is planning to appoint illegal caretaker chairmen instead of conducting elections. The governor has also the withheld the funds of the councils.
Ehen Ehen
This type of election is what we call appointed election and there were no other political parties in that election.
Its just the same thing that recently happened in the LGA elections in Bayelsa State. It's all appointed election and there were no opposition party to contest with.

Insulting the President will not solve the issue. If Peter Obi was elected there will still not be any increment in salary at least we can see how much he paid during his time as governor of Anambra State when compared to other States.
One major factor of any good economy which is foundational knowledge is that you have value for money.and Nigeria lost that literally the last 20 years if you compare us to those nations in Europe we like to compare ourselves with whenever we talk about increase in petrol and electricity.

Everybody seems to be supporting this labour demands now hmmm. My question is how many percent of Nigerian work force are employed by government? Who will pay people under private sector and SME their own minimum wage?
Are we ready for the kind of hyperinflation that will make what we are currently facing look like child's play this labour proposed minimum wage will cause if approved?
Since they have not increased the salary the inflation that the country is experiencing is caused by what, please?

I don't understand why will anyone be complaining about inflation anytime people talk about increase in wages in this nation.
But this same people will come and be comparing the price of petrol and gas, price of electricity, etc,etc, with Nigeria and USA.

It's not about NLC going lower and the FG going higher.

It's good the NLC has come up with a template on how they arrive at their proposed figure.

Let the FG also come out with their template on how they arrive at the figure they keep trying to propose.

Because they can't just keep doing this and expect the common man with the lowest grade to accept and be happy. We all know they have a purported template for the large salaries and allowances they give themselves, right from the Presidency, Senators in both chambers, Ministers, Federal High Commissioners, etc, etc......many of which don't even contribute anything meaningful to the Nigerian economy and coupled with they still have the easy access to loot the treasury of the nation.

The facts is well documented.
And it's even carried on video am not attaching sentiments,let them decamp and test their popularity at the polls on a free and fair contest
That's the same thing they told the governor if he intends to rest his popularity let him conduct LG elections and not this caretaker installation he wants to do.
Anyways the law will take it's course. The Simplified movement will need to prove their case according to law and not otherwise thst this members have truly defected. Certainly a governor can't be the one to formally speak on defection when the party at the National level says otherwise and even the Wards these members belong to can take the stance of the governor if we intend to follow the way of the law.

I hear the Simplified movement is on their way to the court with no substantial evidence according to law to prove the purported televised defection of the 27 RSHA legislators. PDP National does not have a formal letter of defection received by them and there's no formal formal proof of them being members of the APC other than what the populace was shown. It is now being regarded as a stunt.
I look forward to the High Court Judge in RS and what evidence will be shown him and what judgement will be given by him.
I intend to see where this academic work will lead to.

That is how it ought to be and that is the law. The law does not recognize care taker LG chairmen or even using any civil servant be it head of service or LGC to head over the LGAs.

Honestly, Fubara has to really increase his strength to fight Wike for his emancipation and rightful possession of power in Rivers.
There is no boss.
I look forward to the day when LGA will be truly be autonomous then you'll know that there are LGA chairmen that are bigger than even a Governor. Let true democracy take it's rightful place through all these shenanigans happening here and there.

Funny man. I expect Fubara to come out in full force against them.
He should give it to them fire for fire.

Fubara is the only Governor in the history of Nigeria that an ordinary local government chairman or a mere Commissioner will openly insult simply because they think they have the support of the president.

The president should be reminded that Fubara is an Ijaw man. If he doesn't caution Wike or play neutral, the problem will consume the whole of Nigeria and it will cripple oil production in the Niger Delta region.
When the time reach we will be told who are the Ijaws and who will make oil production cripple in Niger Delta. The real Ijaws don't write such things in social media.

Oh cry me rivers. It will be easy for the camel to pass through the hole on the needle than Fubara to be impeached . Even the old drug lord occupying Asorock illegally knows the implications. Nigeria will probably say bye bye to to oil, the only source of revenue
There's no body in Rivers State that will want to fight the FG if Fubara is impeached. Everyone is attending to their surveillance contracts. The names of those who are the people who are only needs to be submitted to the appropraite authorities. No man will want to fight for another man when he is already feeding big from a largeese ill-gotten.

Na the matter we still dey settle now grin

PDP is shameless though..smh
I have watched the video. It is an interesting one indeed. The G60 leader dodged some questions though. He is ascertaining that the Lawyer used is a private lawyer......I don't really know what he plans to achieve by that.

You think taking up the office of the minister of the FCT is for jamboree? He is like the governor of a state and fully in charge of security apparatus to squash the activities of these senseless hooligans causing mayhem on a daily basis. He needs to settle down here and focus on his job and if he can't he should excuse himself from that office and allow a more competent fellow occupy there.
There's no more competent fellow that can achieve what the Honourable Minister and former Governor in the person of HE Nyesom Wike in this present time and circumstances we find ourselves as a people.
Whether you like him or not there is not yet one person given the time. With what he has done, given the time frame and bureaucracy and botle necks he has achieved much more than those before him and even virtually all the State govenors put together in about 5 geographical zones out of 7 if I'm not mistaken. He will maintain an unbeaten record for projects delivery with set time frame.

I have been saying for years that I strongly suspect Dangote Corporation is owned by colonizers, and Aliko Dangote is just a figurehead to deceive Nigerians.

Nicely put.

There's NO way though that Heineken Lokpobiri wouldn't have known that cheap crude shipments are on the way from the United States because it's been reported in the global media on sites such as Bloomberg and other international sites that I regularly visit which are devoted to reporting global energy issues. The newspaper publication may have misrepresented him here. It's either he meant that he wasn't aware of imported crude oil that has recently landed in Nigeria for Dangote. I will have to see the full video of the comments Heineken Lokpobiri made to really be sure that the newspaper isn't misrepresenting his words. A lot of newspapers and Journalists usually misrepresent people's live comments from time to time, NOT just in Nigeria but globally.

Dangote Refinery can always complement crude oil sourced from Nigeria with cheaper crude oil sources from the U.S. and even TotalEnergies is also gearing up to supply Dangote with crude oil. As long as the pump price of fuel is cheaper than it is now, and Dangote Refinery is able to declare profits, then all is well.
So you are saying that the US crude is cheaper to import and then refine when compared to the refinery that is situated in Nigeria buying Nigerian crude and refining!!!!huh?

So why would anyone sane mind invest in Nigerian crude to refine?

I will only say except the Minister is trying to say that Dangote's refinery is yet to get the US crude. Otherwise it seems he is either telling the President that he does not know the operational reason behind the refinery and where it intends to get it's crude from and by that saying there will be no import duties on such crude.
