Your bias and prejudice will always blind you to what is obvious thus precluding emotional people like you from being part of the solution for Nigeria.

Militaries, even the mightiest, find it difficult to defeat insurgents whose motivation is ideological. Worse still in the case of Nigeria where the military is compromise.

Read what is written below, especially final thoughts below to understand, as logical a d critical thinking adults would understand, this is not about what Goveenment is failing at. Especially a Akuther President in charge of an Army dominated by Moslem Northerners.

Don't mind them. They are like toddlers who'd put their hands in a high-powered blender without knowledge of the consequences.

At least we can forgive toddlers wtih minds and reasoning not advanced enough. What do we say for self-destructive adults who wish to destroy themselves and generations unborn because of inordinate and ethno-religious hatred of PBAT?

Coup in Nigeria to bring in who? A Fulani Soldier as military administrator for years while 'preparation' for return to democracy is "ongoing"?

Easy to see them gathered on threads like this.
I wonder how you guys think. You guys are too low in reasoning for my liking

Smartwave:
Almost intelligent comment

Nigeria’s currency the Naira extended its recovery at the official market, gaining 0.72% to close ₦1,455.17

I'm from the 'minority' tribes.
Is it fair to say the three(3) regions from my point of view collectively destroyed the country?

Samantha125:
One thing that I've realised over time is that where there are different tribes, there'll always be tribalism because we humans are territorial in nature... But it's how we handle it that matters.

If you're going to allow tribalism to interfere with your day to day operations, then you won't have any progress at the end of the day because you need each other in order to build a strong and unified nation... Even we SA tribes have our own differences, but we've learnt to respect each other's boundaries and coexist with one another.

Let's say you eventually get your own independence and over time, you start clashing with the minority tribes within that newly independent country, will you guys then resort to separating once again?

nairalanda1:
No alternatives. Has been cash. Always

Gudiza:
Err.... pardon me, I think you're omitting a vital piece of information.
You should probably surmise in addition, that your people were those hers kicked out earlier in the year...and that Ur people have resolved to label hers Xenophobic till thy kingdom come.

Samantha125:
I've read your write up and it's quite interesting, but I don't want to dive deep into Nigerian politics because my country's own is already giving me grey hairs.

But you guys really need find a way to resolve your differences and lead by example as the giants of Africa.

nairalanda1:
It always has been. There is no alternative.

LegendHero:
No pure Yoruba blood will be slurring his people daily. Those who engage in that have been seen to be mixed or married to other tribe.

LegendHero:
The Yoruba people.

I said Rufai did not insult or attack the Yoruba people at any time whatsoever. So how can they say he is not Yoruba.

LegendHero:
Slur on us.

You go school at all?

LegendHero:
Lol Rufai is Yoruba and I haven't seen him use any slur on us before.

He is just a LP/PDP politician just like the rest of the Yoruba in PDP. Rufai is a PDP/LP political analyst on television and also an aparo journalist.

SImple...the difference paid between the cost of production (including transport costs) and the government set price

For example, in 2011, we were bringing in fuel at N99 per liter (december ending)...and selling fuel at N65 per liter.

Subsidy paid for the difference...between the landing cost and the cost of fuel as set by government. Subsidy also covered the costs of transport from ports to the end consumer...

The problem with subsidy over the years is costs of production rise, and also because our naira is dependent largely on oil price, falls in oil price cause value of naira to fall...thus by 2015, landing cost was N132 and fuel was being sold at N87...which forced buhari to raise fuel to N145....to reduce subsidy costs. Ditto GEJ in 2012 when he raised fuel from N65 to N97....to reduce subsidy costs

Keep in mind this has been going on since 1973.

Haibo!!! I didn't say you must write an entire bible...😭😭😭

My job alone involves a lot of drafting and reading and now I must read this?😩😩😩 I need an energy drink.

There's no man who's not good in pounding, the most important thing is the skills.

It's good that they have all those aspects, but it would've been even far better had they used them for the betterment of Nigeria.

nairalanda1:
Whereas if we had followed your ideas and kept subsidy, keeping fuel at N200 per liter, by now our debt would be nearing the N250 trillion mark, if not higher, and budget deficits would be as high as N20 trillion naira.

And we would have no refineries, because no ROI, and dangote refinery would soon be scrap. And we would be losing billions to fuel smuggling. And the forex reserves would be below 1billion dollars..if not worse.

(And if any nation has stopped smuggling of subsidised fuel...you are free to give examples. Libya, Iran, Angola, Saudi, and Venezuela have not been successful to date)

Venezuela once had a 900000 bpd refinery, which was down to 100000 bpd in 2008...because subsides on fuel. Unless they are run by APC...lol..

Mock APC...they are incompetent, but dont wish fuel subsidy on us again. We should have removed that thing since 1987. If we had, by now we would be refining fuel for over half of Africa and earning millions.

SeverusSnape:
Go with your APC membership card, They will sell to you at #500 per litre.

Samantha125:
Which other aspects? Don't tell me about your bedmatics skills because I've already heard some of your ladies as well as those here in SA talking about how terrible you guys are in that field... That they were only enduring you guys because of the money.

Franking:
If you criticize Tinumbu or any politician for that matter then I have the same response for you.

If you think politicians are looting money you go and be a politician for one month and win election.

There's not a single honest pastor, not one....they are all in it knowing what they are doing.

Samantha125:
I don't get it, majority of black American men are basically Nigerians in diaspora since they have a dominant Nigerian DNA.

So what's the difference between black American men and Nigerian men?🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️

And can she differentiate Nigerian men from other West African men? Because some of us can't.

madridguy:
President Tinubu is not doing enough by still allowing the governor of Kwara state to still be controlling the state when it is obvious the man is not doing enough to fight insecurity in his state.

Love800:
I miss seyi shay.
