[color=royalblue]The exchange rate is important, my brother

Make person pound me for 3 hours come give me 10 CFA?[/color]

The problem here is that u are assuming those traveling to African countries for commercial sex trade are going to be transacting with the lowest dregs of the society in the foreign countries .

Nigerians going to African countries are going to be seen by their would-be customers as foreign meat and they will command a higher price than the local ashana. Those yahoo boys , drug dealers and those who even make legal money in those foreign countries will always fantasize about foreign meat just like naija guys fantasize about South African buddy here in naija .

That is what is likely in the mind of Nigerians traveling to those countries for olosho work. The reality might end up being different , but dem go rugged am and cos shame no go let them come back to square one in naija

Despite the money ur parents have , they chose not to do things the right way. That was what led them to prison .

No dey come here to blackmail us emotionally . When they finish serving their sentence, I hope they would’ve learnt how to do things the proper way and not going through shortcut like typical naija big man

I am saying they diverted the actual captured vessel, and burned an empty one for show.

If you empty a fuel tanker but do not thoroughly degass /render it inert, expose it to any flame and it will explode.

I know of three or four instances where this happened. In one case the tank was ruptured, in one case a person died and in another a person was hospitalised.

Anyone tells you they are burning an oil tanker is lying through his teeth.

Na so chief of defense staff and Tomopolo move 650,000 liters of bunkered oil and burn empty vessel 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

GloriousGbola:
That means they are burning a fake vessel tho. You set a an oil vessel with even an empty tank on fire, you are going to get a BIG explosion

Chief of defence staff no talk about any explosion when he dey defend the action 😔

That Abu abel DJ chicken stuff I never understand am
The way this country is going ehn, the excuse the police have is DJ chicken didn't press charge

There’s nothing like press charges , Nigerian police are just shamelessly useless . If somebody commits a crime, it’s police duty to arrest the person and institute an action against the person . U can sue anybody that commits crime against u, it’s police that can sue the person on ur behalf . The police only needs to be aware of the crime.

They can’t say they didn’t watch video of the crime nor hear him mentioning the perpetrator’s name in the video . Na because that one dey in their good books . He usually pays for police escorts , so obviously he’s in bed with all the ogas. Naija police 🤦‍♂️

But truthfully there are shanties around that Alaba side sha, so it’s possible they raided the place . What I don’t understand is why they will set the place on fire causing pollution as well as putting businesses close by at risk .

Normally if u wan destroy shanty shebi na to carry sledge hammer and pull down whatever structure is in sight. Police no too get sense for this country sha

Good point you make but OBJ and Yar Adua were in the same political party meaning there should have been some understanding of the policy of government.

It wasn't like a Biden (democrat) reversing Trump (republican) policy. They were both PDP and I assume OBJ would have adequately briefed Yar Adua.

Baba , na here we dey when Larride an APC card carrying member stated it that in his opinion he feels it’s not proper for Buhari to remove subsidy May 2023 and then handover to Tinubu to deal with the fallout.

That’s similar to what happened back then. Shebi Buhari and his cabinets too would’ve briefed Tinubu about subsidy and why it needs to go. But most APC Members and even members of the public feels it makes no sense for Buhari to go ahead with the removal when he could’ve just waited for Tinubu to do it with his full chest .

In that kind of scenario , u think more about the future of ur young administration ahead of any party loyalty

[color=royalblue]I was in Alaba today when it happened

Fire service didn't come till like 4 hours later.

They need to build fire station around that side. Maybe the market union should engage Lagos state fire service to influence how a fire station can be built around that axis.

I was alarmed recently when I noticed a fire station is just being built at iyana oworo bus stop. I find it hard to believe there was none around that axis till now.

I once stayed with a friend whose house is not far from a fire station. Omo Lagos state dey try in aspect of fire service o. Those fire service guys get called almost every night to respond to emergencies ; they can drive out 2.am once they receive distress call.

chrisooblog:
Yar Adua (RIP) really messed up big time canceling the sale of the refineries. Stalling the power project was another huge mistake he made.

Funny enough, I blame Obasanjo for the fallout of the sale and reversal of sale of the refinery. Today it looks as if Obasanjo sold the refineries and then Yar Adua just come on board and reversed the same immediately ; well what happened was not as simple as that .


Obasanjo was president for 8 good years, he had access to the best economic advisers , he could see the current situation of things and the foreseeable future; yet he didn’t sell the refineries till he was leaving .

Yar Adua like a typical naija politician would assume saw it as a Greek gift that may mess up his administration that was still in its infancy . Having observed the wide outcry and criticism of the sales and different labour unions promising strikes upon strikes, he had no choice but to make the populist move of reversing the sale.

The identity behind true consortium that bought the refineries didn’t help matters . Dangote, Otdeola’s zenon and transcorp
along with rivers state govt . Most people just saw it as the political class selling off assets of the nation to their friends as croonies.

Maybe if obasanjo had sold it during the middle of his tenure and saw the privatization process through like he did telecoms sector, things might be different now

[color=royalblue]Once upon a time, they said those of us that didn't get vaccinated against Covid were likely to die.

What happened?[/color]

Dem still dey tackle me till now for work . Na only me and my oga no collect vaccine …… I was one of the strongest advocate of vaccine before dem release am o; until they released it and they said vaccines won’t stop u from getting infected with COVID-19. I just change am say why the need to collect vaccine that doesn’t guarantee anything ?

Anytime I want to mess with those vaccinated , I will just make a joke about the fact that they are carrying “micro-chip “ in their body through the vaccine dem collect; dem go just use side eye nearly kill me

raumdeuter:
Beyond the usual election campaign rhetoric, how possible is it to cut govt spending when most of it is codified in the laws passed by the house

In the US every campaign they shout that they will cut govt spending but everytime they raise the debt ceiling. The last balanced budget was 30yrs ago. Next week there will be another round of fight between Biden and the speaker to raise the debt ceiling again

How many times did Buhari and Senate get to a stalemate because spending was padded?
Senate refused to approve budget because their own padding was excluded

What will Yes Daddy do when he sends a bill to senate and they pad it like they've been doing for every govt since Democracy

Governance is beyond squealing like a rat on AriseTV

I didn’t expect less from you 👍

iamoyindamola that Rabbit Hole is a very nice series; can't get enough of it. Kieffer Sutherland is just a natural, the man sabi act no be small.

I have watched it up to Episode 7, can't wait for 8 to come through.

I will also recommed this series "Your honour". Initially I thought I had wasted data to download and that it will bore me to death, but no the series made sense. Season 1-2 is out.

liveLongNprospa:
Guy
We had so many times to get it right post oil boom.
You dey borrow to do projects wey nor dey return any form of investment because you want to win election.
You dey print naira like say you be US lmaoooo.

The thing that scares me the most is the incoming admin is planning to make what buhari did legal and finance even more projects like that😂😂😂.

Nigeria in the last 8yrs personally decided that if doomsday doesn't come to us, we will go to doomsday😂😂😂. And boy did we run to doomsday with rocket launchers in our boots🤭

Me personally I’m not under any illusion that whoever becomes president after Buhari would wave a magic wand and Nigeria’s financial problems will disappear; in fact I know how hard such person would struggle .

That is the major reason I voted Peter Obi because I believe the first step of Nigeria getting things right is cutting down on the cost of governance . He seem to be the only one amongst the major candidates at the polls interested in doing that. It’s only when we decide to cut down on wasteful spendings we can then say we are ready to chart a new course for this country .

Nigeria has been on a downward slope financially before buhari but the incompetence of the man’s administration made things worse.

Nigeria accrued over 700million dollars in judgement debts due to government officials, ministries , parastatals and government agencies signing contracts on behalf of the government and later reneging on the contracts . This is not peculiar to Buhari’s administration but nothing has changed with the Change chanting administration . It’s quite unfortunate things might still not change going forward .

When we talk about how financially reckless our leaders are, when we talk about how we pay our legislators humongous salaries for doing nothing , when we talk about governors of extremely poor states buying vehicles over 400k dollars, when we talk about government refusing to cut down overhead expenses on frivolous things….etc. Our resident defenders of government will carry calculators and start telling us those spendings are insignificant in the overall scheme of things and won’t do much to alleviate our financial problems as a country even if the monies are not spent on those things.

A government that has been unfortunate to be faced with dwindling revenue is supposed to be wise enough to know that when u borrow money , U are supposed to be wise with it and not spend it lavishly like u’ve been doing in the past. U are not supposed to be spending like previous governments were spending when there was boom.

For a government that came with the promise of overall change in the way things are being done, APC has not only failed woefully but have used their insensitivity to create more problems for the country . One of such problems is the judgement debts the clueless Attorney General Malami has been unable to find solution to. The PI & D judgement will likely cost us 30% of our $37billion foreign reserve; recently the court also ordered Buhari led government to pay the NNPC guy Araraume N5billion for what ? Cos Buhari either doesn’t get legal advice from Malami or doesn’t listen to him.

Nigeria has wasted billions thus far trying to set up a national carrier ; Nigeria air that only exists on paper and front of fez cap. The minister of aviation has spent 12 billion on 10 fire trucks .Buhari promised to reduce number of planes on the presidential fleet with the intention of cutting cost….. we know how that has remained Herculean task for him.

But it’s okay to borrow . It’s okay to use 96% of ur revenue to service debts. It’s okay to borrow to pay salary of an over bloated civil service ,they ought to have prune down in order to have a true picture of things .

We go dey alright las las.

Itsrm:
There are two divides here and I want to believe we both agree there's nothing wrong with both

1. Those who feel the need to always defend themselves

2. Those who will allow the story run even if false.

My point is, I don't find it odd that someone who believes in point number two will question why those who do point number 1 do it.

And if you look at it, had PO maintained his silence on the leaked audio it would have been better than the embarrassing response he gave when the same interviewer asked him about it.

This one u are saying is classic megedefege.

If u have an issue with his defence/response u can challenge it. But saying someone does not need to respond makes no sense to me.

If u call me a thief , I am within my rights to come out and clarify to everyone concerned that I’m not a thief . If u are not satisfied with my response/clarification, u can further take the matter up with me with further evidence to prove I’m a thief .

But u can’t say I shouldn’t respond because u have hindsight that my defense will not hold water .

Itsrm:
I watched the full interview. It's not as bad as you guys are making it seem. What I gleaned from it was like saying PO can ignore certain things especially when they are not true. You may not agree with him and believe PO has to debunk everything but there's nothing entirely odd about ignoring a news you know is false.

Which kind talk be this ?

It was on this thread I first saw people call Peter Obi a third class graduate . It spread far and wide that most believed it until I later saw his certificate uploaded on Twitter showing it was 2.2 he graduated with . Let’s apply ur logic to this case now, so u would have the man allow people call him third class graduate for as long as possible when in actual fact he graduated with 2.2 ? (Most people trolling him with the third class jibe are even 2.2 graduates o) Did he do wrong by having his certificate put out and the false narrative put to rest ?

Not everybody like their names being ridiculed with all sorts. If u call me a thief and I know I’m not; I will always put the fact out that I’m not . Why will I allow u to continue calling me a thief ? Why ? What’s the fun in it ?

How many news has Obi debunked sef ? This one U are making it seem like that man goes on TV every forthright to defend himself .

U may not like the man , his guts and whatever he represents to u; but how do u accuse a man for defending himself ? How ?

liveLongNprospa:
Broo
I laugh tire.
The man dey actually vex.
You go just know say the thing dey bite the party badly especially with the way Obi easily destroys the stories.
E nor dey stick at all😂

I’m not even talking about whether Obi destroyed their story or not. It’s just head scratching that u will say something uncomplementary about a person, then u get angry when the person comes forward and try to clear the air about those things u’ve said .

The interviewer really tried to talk some sense into the man’s coconut head but then if e didn’t dey, e didn’t dey .

This man and the other man that claimed Bullion Van missed their way into Tinubu’s house; I don’t know who fooolish pass .

GloriousGbola:
Well... You will note that Tinubu has largely adopted a let them say approach.

There is also the possibility that there are more leaks in the offing that will invalidate what Peter obi has said.

Sort of like when your pikin is lying to you and you know exactly what happened and you are waiting to see just how much he/she will incriminate himself/herself

I don’t follow at all.

Everything u’ve written here does not still make the man look less fooolish for what he said in that video .

How can u be mad that someone is given a platform to clarify some of the things said about him that he believes are untrue ?

If u have evidence to suggest his clarifications are not adding up, u can lay it bare in the open. Why being mad at a news station for allowing him react to issues raised about his person ?

We have really come far this season .

Goals wey we dey find hard to score last season; it’s hard to believe we have scored 81 league goals this season with 4 games to go compared to 61 league goals we had all through last season.
