Nairaland GeneralRe: How Northern Elite Plot To Remove Tinubu, Impose Jonathan by budaatum: 3:28pm On Aug 21, 2024
I am going to put this down as the promotion of Fulani hatred, and it is similar to Igbo hatred, and its a pity its by my own Yoruba people promoting that we are full of hatred.

Shame!

He has been well-connected even before his Dad became a President

Do u expect him to stop living and work just because his father is a president?

If all due processes are followed and his firm can handle the project, should they deny him of it just because his father is a president?

kedeojo:
Don't mind him, they always see fault. Why did our local engineers over the years not fix it. Russia engineers built it and it is logical for them to fix it and also in the process further train our engineers. That is how Dangote is doing currently in his refinery. He don't want to praise the effort of the government to resuscitate the steel company. Enemies of Nigeria.
Every year, there's an item in the local government budget of the Orolu Kingdom for the tarring of Janta-Jamodo, except there's no road in the Orolu Kingdom called Janta-Jamodo.

There's Palace Road that does go between Janta and Jamodo but that's not the road, they'd tell you, since Palace Road is already tarred and doesn't need retarring except when it does and is budgeted for separately. Janta-Jamodo however does need tarring, and is budgeted for every year and the contract is awarded and paid for.

We would want to praise the effort of the Orolu Local government for the continued annual tarring of Janta-Jamodo, but attempts to find out who the contract was awarded to is as elusive as the elusive Janta-Jamodo they claim was tarred, annually.
FoodRe: Why No One Is Talking About The Nigeria Food Sellers. The Wickedness Is Too Much by budaatum: 2:06pm On Aug 20, 2024
Now please write the "wickedness of farmers" who jack up the price of the food they grow.

And after that, write about the wickedness of the transporter of the farmers produce who charge more to transport the food.

And don't forget please to write about the wickedness of the petrol seller who jacks up petrol price for the transporter.

And also the local government who jacks up local tax for the foodseller in the name of IGR.

And consider the rain gods who have been skimpy with heavenly water lately!

I could go on and on here, but please write about just these few first, so we can all be angry at the food seller for not subsidising your daily bread like NNPC claims they aren't.

Oh! And perhaps after all that, mind your tribalism! angry

PoliticsRe: Judgment Seizing Nigeria’s Presidential Jets Would Be Vacated Soon – Adebayo by budaatum: 1:56pm On Aug 20, 2024
Or perhaps we might some day educate ourselves and learn to stop making the same stupid mistake.

In 2002, the Nigerian government under Olusegun Obasanjo concessioned the project to Japanese Kobe Steel in an attempt at revitalization, however without much success. In 2004, the project was again transferred, this time to Ispat Industries. The deal was financed by Global Infrastructure Holdings Limited (GIHL) (now Global Steel Holdings Limited, GSHL), which is chaired by Indian steel magnate Pramod Mittal. The concession ended in 2008 after the government accused GIHL of asset-stripping. GIHL then sued Nigeria at International Chamber of Commerce.[6] The dispute was initially resolved in 2016, with Nigeria regaining control of the Ajaokuta Steel Mill in exchange for GIHL retaining the Nigerian Iron Ore Mining Company (NIOMCO) operating at Itakpe.[7][8] In 2022, the Nigerian government paid $496 million to GSHL to settle the claims.[9]

BusinessRe: Nigerian Presidents And Value Of Naira To Dollar by budaatum: 1:37pm On Aug 20, 2024
I actually expected 2000 Naira to the dollar during Buhari's term, and I'm surprised it never got there, but with NNPC's fake non-subsidy and Nigeria living on loans, I'd now bet 3k to the dollar and petrol at 2k a litre and bread made with sawdust.

My desire not to depress anyone or get stoned is why I did not say 5k to the dollar, note. And I'm praying I am wrong.

Even if it's 500, I'll appreciate to at least buy noodles. God bless you. 🙏

Thank you everyone. This is 24 hours since I made a post that I'm hungry, till now, I've got nothing but bashings. I've taken down the account number.


This my down moments have made me realize that it's indeed a cruel world. If I do something funny today, everyone would blame me for not speaking up, or I even get a dead sentence just as some people here have given me a fair share.

The other time, I was saying on a thread that I'm owing a loan app, i had to subsequently clear the thread.

All these are stories I'll live to tell one day.

I just want to use this medium to tell you that not all begging for help online are scams, if you can't contribute to their wellbeing at anytime, do well to skip the post other than adding to their woes. It's still the same set of people who go to church everyday with a bible preaching goodness.

To everyone currently down now, we would come out of this soon.

You don't deal with such parents. You know they can not feed you, so you need to start looking for ways to feed yourself instead of seeking alternative parents to beg from.

If this were a 1979 car we were trying to revive, someone would tell me its a vanity job, done for show, and there's no way it could perform like a 2024 car though the cost of revival might likely be enough to buy a 2024 car. But I'm expected to believe a steel plant built in 1979 would be productive today and produce steel cheaper than can be imported from China.

Thankfully, those we are taking loans to come revive it for us know we have presidential jets they can confiscate if we don't pay up.
