Oh my God you guys are extremely too annoying.

Read!!! And shut da f u c k.

The drones stray to Romania it wasn't an attack, Read!!!

You never can tell.
It's possible they targeted an ammunition or artillery rocket storage.
You know, the best way sometimes to defeat your enemy, is to destroy his weapons...even if you don't destroy him yet.

Ww3 looming.... Africa will start d next civilization...after this people are done with themselves....we better b ready to take over if not we go go back to stone age

I stand to be corrected, but it is possible you've missed a step.

The Hun ( China) are the next world power. And they will definitely be brutal on Africa.
If we start now, by 2100 ( 76 yrs from now) , we would be in a good place.

But now, it's China's turn.

Solidex:
-West Africans, precisely Nigerian youths, have no other occupation but Yahoo.

-Over 80% of young men, even women are into one or two sort of internet fraud.

-Some parents even urge their children to go into this crime, just for the quick money.

-Students are no longer interested in learning any subject matter, instead they induce lecturers to sort them out.

The future is very bleak, we have lost most of our core moral values and I believe all thses things we do, comes with its repercussions.

What do you think are the likely repercussions?

I know some, but I pray that the ULTIMATE REPERCUSSION doesn't happen .

I really am in great fear.
I lived through Liberia 1&2 , Somalia and Sierra Leone 1&2 wars. You can't witness these things and remain normal.
I pray a miracle happens, that doesn't lead us to the ULTIMATE REPERCUSSION, but rather a Peaceful Dissolution of Nigeria.

Minus it from the debt...

AND THATS WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD

One can make for example, $900 billion dollars. But once your debts ( & expenditure too o!) is now almost $5 trill, that one no be positive revenue again o.

Because , debts will swallow all the growth you made.

Now, compare to 1958, when the Western Region under Pa Awolowo, was almost debt-free ( infact W. Nigeria was borrowing the federal govt money; which they repaid) and there was growth in the agric sector.

Therefore, when we're talking growth and revenue, maybe we should also ask them,

" Bọ̀da Jide, em...how much debt gaan is Lagos owning?
We want to know the yearly repayment , against your revenue.
We wan check something"

You have no idea. All the restaurants and fun spots on the island are empty these days.

Olodumare o!
So, it's also true that most ppl can't afford to go to malls or restaurants like B4?
It's even being reported that many Nigerians cannot buy meatpie again.
Even me, ever since 1akara= 100 naira, I no dey buy am again.
God!

JoeEeL:
Religion compounds the foolishness of a black man.

Many people used to talk like her before apc met Nigeria. Today their lives are beyond damaged. The religious dumbos, some of them even reading my comment now. They can't even recognize themselves or their lives anymore. No meaning.

That is cos these religions tend to focus on breaking societal and communal units, making u a lone warrior.

There's no "I", if there's no "we". That ure OK today is no guarantee of tomorrow or no be shan George they cry 3 months ago say her last card, 3 million, them thief am? Where will u be tomorrow Toke?

U ppl should stop using religion to break the bond of rallying around and organization. U are not different from those that think they are so connected spiritually but now broken beyond comprehension.

Oga mii, I slaute your wisdom sir!

You spoke what had been in my mind for years...what I had been suspecting, but couldn't bring it into words:

1.

JoeEel: Many people used to talk like her before apc met Nigeria. Today their lives are beyond damaged.

Baba, when Tinubu was "enthroned" ( I can't say voted), many prophets and pastors in SW were making declarations " that this Tinubu regime will favour (ONLY) me & my family; even in famine, I will smile!".
Majority of those clerics are now experiencing low patronage in their businesses; some of their chucrch members no longer attend church regularly or be cajoled to pay big-big tithes, due to the annoyance of hunger and ppl " don dey open eyes" gradually.
Many Christians who were sheepishly following the yearly prophecies of Pa Adeboye & others are now very extremely angry ( but dem dey bottle dé anger for now).


2.

JoeEel: That is cos these religions tend to focus on breaking societal and communal units, making u a lone warrior.

Nigerians, most esp. Yorùbá Christians , think that they can be successful, eat well, be rich, their children go to fine-fine schools and their lives will still be secured from the legions of hungry, poor and increasingly violent poor masses. They believe " pentecostal grace" will be enough for them.
While we praise self-reliance and seeking to better oneself, we must also remember ,
" agbajọwọ la fi n sọ'ya" ( only united , can we overcome poverty ).

This means that if we lose our country to religious and economic terrorists ( fulani/ bokos, and political looters) , our lives will become meaningless even if we succeed individually.

The Chinese and south Koreans know that your personal success IS ALSO DEPENDENT ON THE SUCCESS OF YOUR COMMUNITY/ ETHNICITY. That's why :

- they won't sell their brothers to the whites
- they help themselves succeed economically
- they invest in helping one of them to rise, and that one will pull others up

- in their families, 1 person won't be using witchcraft to destroy the lives of the young children of the family

- they no longer engage in human sacrifice or rituals, as these bring negative karma to ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY


Many Christians have been killed by bad roads causing accidents, terrorists and ritualists.
How do you expect to continue to prosper under these conditions individually, if NOTHING IS DONE to deliver our ethnicities COLLECTIVELY?

Kudos to you Ẹgbọn.

All Nigerian man 40 and above should be allowed to easily acquire assault rifles.

The present Nigeria , is no longer 1980 Nigeria.
It has changed.

Not only in Nigeria although it's worst in Nigeria.


God has already left Africa long long time ago.

Hope you know that when you ridicule the land especially of your birth, you invoke a curse on yourself?

musicwriter:
As far as I am concerned, the US isn't even a democratic country.

Just look that Clinton VS Trump election. The one who got the most vote from real voters, lost the election. But the one who got less vote was instead declared the winner.

And Americans have no power whatsoever to change anything.

Amerikkka is not a democracy; it is a white-owned republic.

No nation on earth practices democracy ( you won't believe me).

I saw some AK47; probably Pakistani or Chinese ( obviously they are neither Russian or American).

However, I'm seeing a RPG ( bazooka).

Abeg, e don reach?!
So, very soon we should be expecting small-small surface- to-air missiles!


Abi, police is adding to the exhibit nii?! ( You know, they've been caught doing so before; no offence , though the criminals could actually buy RPG from the creeks [ Ijaw boys trading with Mexicans on the sea )

"I only engage in discourse, when i am sure the person has enough mental faculty to comprehend.In your case, i wont be replying."

If you don't see this as an insult then you are as stupid as him, very much offense intended...

Well...let us forgive ourselves and move on.
The EXISTENTIAL CRISIS we are all facing is bigger than us individually.

Let's shelve our personal hurts, and see the bigger picture.
And we should be ready to be the bigger person, even in disputes.
It's well.

Beremx, kindly not call me wèrè. The word implies a mentally insane & completely deranged person.

I'm not.
Thanks .

I hope you're hearing from your mother?

Very soon, we expect you to be " brought permanently" to Nigeria, so you can also endure.

Have a nice day, brother.

RickyJesus:
Is it the same capacity and also can you compare the cost and nearestness of resources to be use and the labourer that would be fly in to over see the project. [b]You lack critical thinkin[/b]g, don't bother replying.

But why this insult?
He, malali , never insulted you. You could as well make your point, finger out the mistake ( if it is a mistake) and give the correction.

Look, we should have all grown up. Let's quit behaving like kids.

justmondris:
Now I understand why they never wanted any refineries to work in Nigeria. It's because they were exporting the crude to their refineries abroad to refine it, steal it, and return a small quantity back. This is pure evil, and they should all be jailed.

Can I shock you a bit ( though it won't; we are immune ).

According to Tell magazine 1998, Late Sani Abacha had a refinery in Brazil. Meanwhile , we were also importing fuel from abroad , at that time.
What does this means?

Sani Abacha, plus probably Babangida , may likely be the beginning of the oil cartel.

Their families are still milking Nigeria. But others have joined over the years.

malali:
That refinery is not worth 20 billion.

The largest refinery by capacity in the world. The largest refinery in the world, as of recent data, is the Jamnagar Refinery located in Gujarat, India. It is owned by Reliance Industries Limited. Here are some key details:

Jamnagar Refinery

• Capacity: The Jamnagar Refinery has a combined refining capacity of approximately 1.24 million barrels per day (bpd). This includes the original refinery and the adjacent export-oriented refinery.
• Cost of Building: The initial phase of the refinery, [b]completed in 1999, cost about $6 billion. [/b]

This 20% by NNPC is closer to the whole cost of the whole Refinery.

Check the bolded:
completed in 1999, cost about $6 billion


This is 2024.
It's value would had increased more than that.

I need to report this account.
It's actually a bot; an annoying one.

It's been used to generate hatred and tribal division.

Pls, kindly ban it.

Layi4real:
Your protest will yield nothing but will rather add more suffering ******
make all of us go work harder to survive Nd go back to farm

- do the politicians who receive ₦160+mill vehicle , and does NNPC management, that has never been able to repair 1 single refinery on 10 yrs , despite HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS POURED INTO IT, work harder?

- how does the farmers in Kainji, Benue, Taraba & Oke-Ogun go back to the farms, and won't be killed by fulanis, Yorùbá, Igbo, hausa & idoma kidnapper criminals?

I would love your intelligent response.

chopnaira:
Lol. There have been economic hardship before him and there will be hardship after. Not everybody will be financially buoyant even in America.

Rip to the dead.

That means , to you, a suitable condition of living, is one in which you are born, live and die in hardship?

Emm...can you wish that on yourself and children?

Enemiesmasquera:
Tinubu is a disaster that will NEVER HAPPEN again

Shettima, the commander of " alternative Northern Forces" is being prepared.

His will be a reign of Idi Amin+ Bokasa+ Samuel Doe+ Abacha

SensualMan:
Lol. The real Ebi n pawa ooo

Good riddance to the society.

Do you know what Karma means, and how it operates?

akuto:
If not for selfishness of some people in authority, going cashless will minimize these issues. I remember when we had currency change and limited physical cash, these kidnappings stopped. We may need to redesign currency again put a timeline for swap with limit and do more with digital channels. Kidnappings thrive where physicall cash is readily available

So, you're using this opportunity to push your WEF/ CBDC ( Central Bank Digital Currency) agenda?

Don't you have shame?

Economics may indeed not be Bob Dee's forte.

But I hope you know that if you can run a successful business ( entertainment magazine+ event management) since the middle 90s till 2010 , you can talk on certain matters on the economy.

Nigeria is not a 1st class economy. It's a primary economy.

I know some people are calling me a conspiracy theorist. But I want you to consider some things:

Did you remember the foll. In 2020:

- Late President John Magufuli was asked if he would accept the COVID 19 vaccine for Tanzania. He said " no". He said he didn't believe that the Corona virus was really that serious.
He encouraged his country's citizens to eat well, boost their immunity naturally & believe in God. By Feb 2021 , he was dead.
Check what the new president did


- did you know that the speaker of the house Gbajabiamila , was rushing through the 1st and 2nd reading in the house of representatives, for adoption of the covid 19 vaccine? And suddenly , some uncomfortable members started asking why the rush, they didn't even know what the whole vacinne was all about!


- the president of Madagascar said they didn't need the COVID vaccine, because they had a local solution; a cocktail of herbs that proved efficient. He escaped an assassination about 2-3 months later.

Now, are you aware that all over UK , doctors are now calling for the persecution of Dr. Fauci of America, that he was pushing for the vacinne , and probably millions of ppl have died from blood clots in their brains due to the fact that COVID 19 vaccine is an untested experimental drug, and also there are calls for the arrest of bill gates and his push for . DEPOPULATION USING VACINNES .


******************
This is my take:

- WHO + Bill_Melinda Gates Foundation were pushing for the VACINNES, but they knew that the VACINNES were dangerous, and would lead to massive sudden deaths of ppl.

- Magufuli MAY LIKELY had been murdered, just like President Moyes of Haiti was killed by paid Mexican hitmen , sent by ....(?). Remember, Madagascar president was also nearly assassinated.

- did you know that some doctors in US & UK had a pre-knowledge that the COVID vaccine was dangerous, and told their family members and friends NOT TO TAKE IT.

- despite all the propaganda, did you REALLY SEE Corona virus killing massive people in Nigeria , west Africa and the rest of Africa? And many ppl were unvaccinated. Why?
Think.


What do I know?
Just another conspiracy theorist?

onatisi:
Only a mad mad crazy military leadership can stop fuel importation and subsidy payment in Nigeria . EVERY SINGLE NIGERIAN POLITICIANS HANDS ARE NOT CLEAN WHEN IT COMES TO THIS SCAM SUBSIDY PAYMENT .

Or can we just do:
- return to regions

- referendum, whether we still want this contraption, or we go to our different countries of pre-berlin 1884 conference?

ajadematanle:
Now I know most of you that commented are empty headed and anti Nigerian. What’s your business if government is keeping quiet on subsidy. Once you’re getting fuel at N 568 you should be okay. Do you want to buy at N1200

My dear friend, we are matured here...no need to be insultive.

Do you REALLY understand what happened btw May 29,2023 & now?
Tinubu said subsidy is gone. And that the money being aid for subsidy would henceforth be diverted into the economy. Then, diesel, kerosene, gas & petrol prices went up drastically, and ppls' savings and income went down drastically.

Now, let's assume Nigeria was paying ₦100bill as subsidy in 2020-2023, by now, the subsidy money would / should have been put inside QUICK REPAIR of refineries, so that world market price of fuel doesn't affect our own local consumption.

Example:
Eggs in Nigeria is ₦200/ piece. But in America, eggs now may be close to $1/ pc ( that's a bit exaggeration, but ppl are complaining that egg prices is going up now).

Now, that price in America is close to ₦1500/ egg.
But despite inflation , we don't have ₦1000/ egg...YET.
Because we have local production.

BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE LOCAL PRODUCTION NKỌ́,...gbam!

We now must import the egg from America ( let's assume America stands for world market) and pay ₦2500/ egg , if we want to eat egg.

PROBLEM
- you have to use diesel & petrol & gas in this economy
- we now have to import all the fuel from abroad, when we have the basic mineral resource, which is crude oil

- the crude oil has been sold without our knowledge by NNPC plc during Buhari's tenure

- Nigeria thus have to pay AMERICAN PRICE ( not necessarily America price but world market price) for fuel

- we have very low foreign exchange in Nigeria, compared to , say Namibia & Ghana, so it means less money flows into our economy but more of the less money is flowing out

- why is more (of the less money) flowing out ? Importation of fuel + IMF/ world bank loan

- the money is from the masses, so it means the masses pay more money to IMF & international fuel traders

- so, the masses become poorer, because we have to pay more


And there's no end in sight .

Let me tell you another story.
From 2015- 2024 today, in order to even pay basic salary, we have to borrow loans.

Don't forget, there is something about loans: the borrowing period...then the period when the lender asks for his money.
We have even borrowed money that the next 3 generation would have to pay for! And we are not even repaying the loans o! We are paying interests only.

So, as example, we borrow from china to pay IMF interests ( not original principal loan amount ), then borrow from Portugal to pay Chinese interests ( not the original principal o), then finally borrow from Taiwan & use our UNTAPPED CRUDE FOR THE NEXT ( give or take) 3-4 yrs as collateral for a "mere" $3.3billion loan .


This simply means that the " unknown lender" will take our crudeoil for 3 years, at say $70/ barrel, but if inside the 3 yes, the oil price increase lasan to $200/ barrel...( You know that we can quickly get more dollars fast since the price has increased), we can't renegotiate oh!
The price calculation must stay at $70/ barrel, so the lender just smiles to the bank, while we weep and wail, because it is now season of plenty, but we can't enjoy the plenty, because the plenty is going to another person.


ALSO, DON'T FORGET...
WE STILL HAVE TO PAY interests to:
IMF/ china/ Portugal and Taiwan o!

*** China, Portugal, Taiwan are hypothetical examples **"


Those loan payments are still going steadily and they are even shrouded in secrecy by NNPC & CBN.

Who's paying them? Nigeria masses.
Oh...the politicians are stealing btw 10-40% of the loans ( if we can believe Minister Chinasa ; the women affairs minister; check Sahara reporters news of yesterday 22/07/2024).


We are in deep mess.

Klington:


He raised the IGR of Lagos without producing shiiit.

The only thing his dead brain understands is tax and more tax.

APC is a curse to humanity.

The IGR of the state was raised by further impoverishing the citizens.
That was the original concept of taxation in Europe in the , say middle ages ( let's leave the Graeco-Roman period for now).

Cardoso and his fellow Lagos boys, if you check we'll, would likely be the ones together with Tinubu, to being the idea of VIO, Lastma, etc who resort to agberoism, in order to meet monetary targets set by their ogas in the lagos state tax offices. I doubt that the sole reason for setting up these agencies was simply vehicle or transportation system sanitisation, emission control or reducing accidents or holdups.
It was simply taxation.

Cardoso is a taxmaster; like a slave rider. There was no intelligent or golden policy to increase IGR , but also increase the standard of living of Lagosians.
And don't forget, we were having a combination of:

- oil boom , pre - 2015
- low foreign debt


They forgot that the original reason for taxation was not that the rulers should eat and be fat like pigs, but that the state ( country) be stronger

A strong country happens when a visionary ruler executes projects that would enhance the living conditions of his lowest citizens, because a prince is only as strong as the number of strong citizens he can control.
Once the prince's citizens are weakened , especially due to hunger and poverty, his days on the throne is just a.matter of time.[color=#990000]

I read through IamHim1's post.
I'm speechless. Honestly,...
We were all miseducated from primary school to university: the education of a grass cutter.

Economics & economic theory has some general principles, that can be applied across nations, but you got to be careful;...
when cultures, conditions, beliefs, races etc are different, then each must be subject to possible scenarios.

1. How many ppl are making & keeping large percentages of their money as savings , in this economy, compared to , say 2014? Therefore , if the answer is that savings or money in thw bank are reducing, increasing interest rates WON'T KEEP MONEY WITHIN AN ECONOMY experiencing galloping hyper- ultra inflation.
Truly, Cardoso is looking at the borrowing aspect for importation & exports. You don't want more ppl to borrow, and then sell goods across the border or overseas, so as to keep a substantial amount of money within the economic system, but...Olayemi, those exporting will not bring back dust na? Some forms of money will also return to the system.
If it is the importation/ export part, even if some farmers in Niger (!) , zamfara or Owode-yewa are being said to be transporting agric products from Nigeria ( how many sef?) to across the border , so they can get better foreign exchange ( CFA), the CFA comes back into the economy. The CBN is thinking that Nigeria food market may be getting deprived of agric products if cross border trade is encouraged , because ( you may not know) THE MOST DEVALUED CURRENCY RIGHT NOW IN WEST AFRICA IS THE NAIRA! Even if a smart business person borrows from bank to import ( say beans ) from Togo, they will still pay interest on the principal. At least you are stimulating trade.


But Cardoso, low farm output due to insecurity + high interest rate + high fuel price = chaos!

Cardoso , it seems, wants stagnant money within an economy. But stagnant money, with hunger, with inflation...is it high interest that will now reset the economy? The egbon seems to be seeing economy from the monetary aspect only, but is forgetting the Real Economy ( agriculture +industry)

These Lagos boys are just working by textbook theories!

I doubt if they are going physically to the markets, ports, borders , etc and seeing the REAL EFFECTS ON THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION.

They sit inside AC offices in Abuja, and watch foreign news, thinking that IMF/ world bank economic policies will deliver Nigeria.

Do you think that India that was told by the Europeans in the 1940s that it would take them 70-100 yrs to achieve agric breakthrough in output, ( India had a lot of famines from 1700-1930s; caused by the evil British stealing majority of their output ), but same India did it in 25-40 years!

It wasn't IMF / world bank economic strategies...it was Indian Native Economic knowledge!

Cardoso & his oga are lost men!

I'll keep quiet for now, B4 they start calling me Mr. " conspiracy theorist".

Let me see if they can connect the dots. The new Black Africa should only be a positively intelligent one, not...

APOPTOSIS:

I'm relocating back to Nigeria. Oh! sorry to Kenya.Oh! I forgot Al Shabab are domiciled in Kenya. Please where else can one relocate to?

-Fulani cabals ( including Hausa, Igbo and Yorùbá elites) have already destroyed the country economically

- fulani terrorists killing ppl in Ondo, zamfara, Katsina, Benue

- armed robbery, ritualists

Honestly, I'm tired.
