What about people that earn their daily bread from arisetv You don't care abi?

They're all professionals in their endeavours. They'll find employ elsewhere. Proven career individuals such as those hardly stay unemployed.

This is not to however say that I endorse any actions by the government that will prompt the loss of their respective jobs.

Rostikol:
YOU ARE NOT A NIGERIAN.

YOU IGBO NARCISSISTIC DEMONS ARE NOT NIGERIANS.

YOU ARE TERRORIST, SEPARATIST OUTCASTS PRETENDING ONLINE TO BE 'NIGERIANS', SO YOU CAN SOUND CREDIBLE WHEN SMEARING THE COUNTRY, WHICH IS ALL YOU DO ONLINE.

IMPOSTORS.

AND YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR TREACHERY WITH EVEN MORE POLITICAL ISOLATION AND MARGINALISATION THAN YOU CURRENTLY EXPERIENCE.

SO BE READY FOR EVEN MORE SIT AT HOMES ORDERED FROM FINLAND.

SPIT.

Are you done?

These ones don't even know that most Nigerians no longer need the conventional media platforms for information. They can shut down AriseTv if they want, but you see this Tinubu issue?

Lol.

Wujio:
Obedients are thinking if all this fune and fun, but as much as i detest Tinubu being my president i find this attitude disgusting

Nigeria has long been a disgusting society to the masses. So this na normal level. People are tired!

tishbite42:
Omo
Disgrace opor
Nigerians disgracing themselves

You cannot shame the shameless.

Ordinary Nigerians have lived in disgrace since 2015. We don't care anymore. Make everything kuku scatter.

Angelfrost:
Lol... Everyone is an Economics Expert these days.

Just leave them to keep Googling and bandying theories about the internet space.

It gets sad and depressing bro. We don't deserve this. We're too blessed to be existing like this.

Angelfrost:
Electricity in my house and area massively improved in the last 6 months, and Voila! I haven't used my generator since.

I now gladly pay more for electricity without complaints.

This equation is simple.

Give a man a constant supply of his pleasurable poison and he'll become addicted enough to go any lengths to afford it, irrespective of the price.

Give a Nigerian 24 hours electricity for just a week, then add 20 naira to each unit of electricity he consumes and he'll pay it. Of course being Nigerians we'll murmur a bit, but we'll still pay the increment, because we're "addicted" to the good life.

Nigerians are beautiful people who know how to enjoy life. Just make it easy for us to make money and we'll spend it effortlessly.

correctguy101:
I see...

It all boils down to the same thing many are saying on here: We need to industrialize.

A good plan.

And you think all those werey in charge of running the country are not aware?

No make me laff abeg...

Goodnight brother. There's a reason I don't like discussing issues plaguing this country.

It gets me angry for I refuse to believe all these fine ideas all you guys are putting out on here are things these people in charge don't know already. They know, yet they do something entirely different.

Abeg, does any nation need rocket science to know they're supposed to have working refineries? Especially a nation whose entire income rests on such. And an oil producing nation at that?

Smh

"He who is silent in the face of evil is just as guilty as the enabler".

You see, that's the reason some of us go the extra length to talk and keep talking, despite the fact we're uncomfortable doing so.

When I die tomorrow, I want it to be heard that even if I didn't have the capacity to have corrected the wrongs, I was vocal enough to be heard in the criticism of evil.

That would be a palatable inscription for my tombstone.

Funkyswagzz:
The inflation they are suffering is not enough they want to make it worse.

And it scares me cause we'll all suffer the consequences together.

Theunbothered:
Buhari border closure did irreparable harm to the Nigerian economy, now imagine a total import restriction. Do they even know the largest share of imported goods are essential items?

When Peter Obi was talking statistics some people's concern was what they will chop.

I'm having a hard time understanding why Nigerians will still be recommending the same measures Buhari undertook that put us in this colossal mess.

Theunbothered:
The guy mumu shock you abi?

I practically ran out of words..😂

xandy84:
Nothing is wrong with them. They only read nl news and suddenly, they are economist in their own right. Where are the alternatives? Dollar is not our problem. Same issue will arise if we trade in 💴, even Cedis.
We bring Nothing to the table except oil and it works when our population was medium size but we had quadruple our population in the last 70 years and by UN estimate, Nigeria will be 3rd most populous country by 2050. Trouble is loading.

I sincerely worry for the lives and survival of the children our generation is going to produce.

sulaak:
In the 1970s, the Indians and Chinese rode bicycles when the Nigerians were spending their Udogi award on imported Japanese cars; in 1980 the Indians and Chinese learnt to mass produce motorcycles, and today both China and India are two of the top automobile manufacturers in the world.

Nigeria cannot fund imports anymore; the country has been mortgaged to the hilt and has large debt and low dollar exports. Nigerians have two choices start producing or do without.

Don't you think we're both agreeing on the same thing here?

Abolodje:
Tinubu course mate lol

You just made me laugh really loud..😂😂. You be heavy idiot! No wonder Tinubu no longer uses social media. Na demons like you cause am.

EmperorCaesar:
Guy, I've seen u numerous times attack BAT while singing praises of Giringory Obi, so yea, I know for sure what "Political Congregation" u belong

Eloquence has nothing to do with Intelligence...Your case is just another testament to that fact

Look, even now I'll authenticate whatever insinuations you're trying to put out.

Bola Tinubu is a stellar politician. He knows the streets. He understands and appreciates the concept of long term loyalty and has always used same to his advantage. He has an eye for recognising capacity in people. But when it comes to managing an heterogenous and diverse community like Nigeria and the economy, he holds no aces against Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi respectively.

I don't waste my time trying to educate closed-minded bigots on nairaland because y'all are allergic to learning or assimilating new ideas. There are nairalanders I commit my time and trade ideas with, and you don't make that list. So if you think my opinions on issues are tantamount to parochial interests, have a blast basking in your demented throes of illogical depositions.

Least you earned 30 minutes of my time today. Be happy.

talented321:
Oga go and cross check your posts..

Lol.
Why am I not surprised? It's a pretty normal habit to level accusations that cannot be substantiated. Kindly go to anywhere on nairaland and show me where I made posts or comments, portraying loyalty to a particular political party or movement, and you're already blabbing.

creativehubb:
We need to utilize both import ceilings and domestic production, so we achieve quick results. There are so many things we are importing that we do not need, I can not mention all right now, but believe me, if we place import ceilings on some of those things we will live well without them.

Buhari attempted import restrictions on a lot of commodities including used cars. He shut the borders for years and banned importations of items down to rice, all to enable local consumption. What happened?

Local demand outweighed supply. Nigerians began to illegally source for those banned items despite their increased prices. His inability to address the core problems back home ended up tumbling that effort to the ground. Even the locally produced rice became so fucking expensive that some families ended up being unable to buy rice in December, for the first time in Nigeria's recent history.

When he was done fooling himself, he reopened the borders, eased taxes on automobile imports, but the damage had already been done. The economy was in comatose. It is foolhardy to keep doing the same things over and over while expecting different results.

EmperorCaesar:
So what does he have to score to make distinction out of a possible cumulative CGPA of 4.00

Last i checked, they indicated under their remarks that he had distinction but how could an obidient like have seen that

Blinded by pure hate

I am not surprised you happened to categorise me to a political congregation, it is the nairaland tradition. And whether you chose to abuse me from now till your brain turns sour, it won't change the fact that the societal circumstances do not spare anyone for being part of a political party or the other.

You nairalanders feed off on bragging rights, even when you end up begging for alms to survive on a daily basis.

talented321:
But you also show your interest in this forum without shame..
You think you are way smarter than others, which you are not..

Pray tell, what do you know to be my interest as shown on this forum?

creativehubb:
Some products like whiskey, cigars, luxury cars, private jets, expensive body creams, perfume, luxury items in general, government can ban some or put heavy import duties on them, to discourage it's import...we should approach foreign producers to start off manufacturing plants in Nigeria. Critical times call for critical measures. We are looking for how to solve the currency crises, you are talking nonsense.

This is naivety speaking.

All those items you mentioned are luxuries whose imports don't even contribute up to 4 percent of the pressure on the FX market.

Why?
Those are items that are comfortably affordable to Nigerians that don't number up to 10 million, at this very instant. Taking them off the import list or taxing them heavily is going to have an infinitesimal effect on the current naira/dollar quagmire. And humans have a way of sourcing for things that are out of reach, even if they have to circumvent the system. The moment you raise taxes on those things or ban their importation, they automatically become twice as expensive as cocaine. Importers will put more money into smuggling them in, and those willing consumers will only be too happy to spend even more to acquire them. You have solved nothing.

You people keep prescribing paracetamol for acute malaria. Fuel, food, health care and education are the major drains on our FX right now. Fix the basic rots in those four places with local production, and you have automatically eased pressure on the naira by 50 percent. Those are the things every ordinary Nigerian sweats to afford. If those things are domestically produced in the right quantity and quality, importers will no longer make profits from bringing them in, cause people will opt for what is home and affordable.

EmperorCaesar:
It was actually 3.52 not 3.00

You're not as neutral as you've always claimed to be

NL Polygot

The word is polyglot, not polygot.

And whether 3.52 or 3.0, both do not translate to a first class performance.

Next time you want to troll, make certain you're smart enough to fit the role perfectly.

talented321:
But i don't think you'll see that as a problem if he happen to support obi.
Someone who hardly comment on any thread is a threat to you because of nairaland politics..

Whether he supports my interests or yours is not the point of concern. He has no business taking any sides. And the earlier you realise that, the quicker you'll be able to stop exhibiting what ignorance you're putting on display right now.

Everything to you nairalanders revolves around APC/LP/PDP and Igbo/Yoruba sentiments. I don't know why y'all will never see the need to have a bit of shame.

Alhaji Dantata and his family have spent over 50years in Nigeria's oil and gas corridors of control, amassing stupendous and illicit wealth to the detriment of ordinary Nigerians. And to this day, pipeline contracts are still being awarded to one of his conglomerates, MRS.

This country is odiously sick and is being held hostage in the hands of a select few. Yet, instead of the masses to come together and retrieve what's rightfully ours, we sit on internet platforms to fight ourselves over stupid sentiments and peanuts.

Godforbid Nigeria!

Rauf Aregbesola, the Osun state he-goat, should be ashamed of himself wherever he is.

talented321:
He is unserious to you because he don't support ur obi' right?

Exactly.
That's why he's a square peg in a round hole.

CodeTemplar:
import can be reduced. Tax specific import and watch demand for it drop because price increase leads to reduced demand.

Lol.

Please, list the specific imports you believe government should tax heavily to reduce domestic demand.

Severally, courts keep throwing out tribunal cases on the grounds of lacking merits, explaining to plaintiffs that they have no business in the inter-party affairs of another political party, yet more politicians and their lawyers keep approaching the courts with the same queries.

Is it that these people are deliberately being stupid or they're looking to manipulate judges by knocking consistently on the door of falsehood?

Billyddude:
Without laws we are savages...shei na so oyibo talk am

Indeed, it is.

obiekunie01:
Seun is sitting on a gold mine but he doesnt know how to mine.

If he is talking to me. i would av guided him on how to manage this site to be competing with others worldwide.


i will kill total anonymity and monetize everything including posting on the forum.

i will also create an avenue for members to earn.

very simple thing to do.

I will use bots to moderate the forum. and do away with all the enemies within.

How well have you managed your own current endeavours? Have you mined the gold around you enough to turn yourself into a millionaire? If you have been able to successfully build and manage an internet forum, what are you always doing on nairaland?

All some of you Nigerians know how to do is talk a mouthful in another person's issues.

mrvitalis:
Yes you read right... Nigeria don't need power right not it's not that important

Omoh, nairaland is not for me abeg! I'm so over all of this right now.

mrvitalis:
Lol you just spoke like a typical Nigeria

What's the percentage of people that run on gen? Most business barely use their gen

90% of Nigerians who can afford constant power have constant power.... If you know you want constant power dont you know an estate in your city with constant or near constant power?

Power is not important to Nigeria now as a president I won't even invest too much into its

What did I just read?!
