Putinofrussia:
Let them protest in peace if they dont want to dialogue.
They should watch it so they dont inhibit others from exercising their right of movement.
I am suspecting a made up story because there is no picture and no other news outlet seems to know any protest in Ibadan today.

What dialogue are you talking about? They're asking for policies that will help ameliorate the inflation and improve the quality of living of the masses.

Aldol:
Hausa leave their families behind in the north ,the men only come to do business and that's all

Funny generalization. You've obviously not been to Idi Araba, Alaba Rago, etc. They have communal enclaves where they live with their wives and kids.

Aldol:
I can bet you that those out of school children in the west are of ibo extraction

Then what would you say about the northern kids in the west?

Alexis11:
The people that jerk up that figures are the teenagers from North and East that came to hustle in South West, especially Lagos

South West is becoming the hub of these destitutes from other regions.

Eastern kids enrolled in Western schools far outnumber the Northern kids. They shouldn't even be in the same sentence.

prizeless:
North West and North East together contributes a total of 73.6% out of school children. Now that's massive and a ticking time bomb

Those guys no suppose rule us normally.

nomadreporter:
It's a lie. I can say that with confidence because I worked in the agency for Non-Formal Education which gathered such statistics in my state. SW. We normally cook statistics in order to get grants from international donors. I can bet it, the total number of out of school children in SW can not reach 1%. What are they doing at home, even the poorest of the poor strive to enrol their children in private school.

Story

For the records, it's a UNICEF report... No ethnic bias.

Is This thread created to pacify northern protesters?

rapheal5:
i really want to know why insurance document is compulsory in car documention when you never get any benefit from it..I thought car insurance is meant to cover some unexpected expenses like minor car accident, i stand to be corrected..i have heard from anybody that insurance turned up for them when they had accident...

Na because we never Torchlight their matter.... A few major lawsuits and legislative interventions will Wake them up.

Hand go touch them...

Awesome analysis...

LegendHero:
No it hasn’t solved all the problems. Nigeria problem cannot be solved in a day.

However, this will solve the problem of several hundred thousands of students whose parent cannot afford to pay their school fees.

It will put 240k per annum in the account of those students for upkeep.

This is a good step in the right direction.

It's a Loan, not a grant...

Throwback:
Atiku the serial election loser and his supoorters should wait till 2027 when he can finally lose for the last time.

All election losers should wait for their next election loss.

It is that simple.

If he even had any iota of respect for himself, he should retire from politics already

Mantrah:
The hunger is real Sha but reasons for waving Russian flags still not clear to me

Those Northern guys have close ties with Niger. And Niger has been taken over by the Military that's loyal to Russia, discarding their French overlords. In summary, they're hoping for a coup.

CriminalTinubu:
Pesin wey dey calculate him brother burial money na him you dey ask for money. Tinubulation affect everybody - poor, rich, big belle, home and abroad.

Even Dangote was crying last month.

They're not related.

Salewa97:
It's quite concerning to hear that Customs is not adhering to Tinubu's directive. This inconsistency could hinder the efforts to alleviate hunger in Nigeria. I trust that Tinubu will address this issue swiftly because he has shown commitment to making food affordable for all Nigerians. Let's hope for a resolution soon!

That's if he's formally given the directive at All. Just like the directive to sell crude oil in naira. Looking More like lip service... Maybe a More fierce protest would shake him up.

DUNDEEmoderatos:
Do you people expect Nigerian problems to be solved in a day? I don't understand.
And you are still here crying about GEJ....na wah o!
GEJ that confirmed that he did nothing for his people.

. Then you decided to vote Buhari that was only interested in favouring his people. Where has that led us?

Salewa97:
Dele Momodu needs to chill. Tinubu knows what he’s doing; he’s not a novice in governance. The man has a plan, and sometimes tough love is necessary for real change. Let’s give him time to implement his strategies. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day!

He's gotta start taking some positive actions as well. Clearly, he didn't have the Will to support local refineries at first. It was after that outcry from Dangote and supporters that he remembered to give an executive order to sell crude to Dangote in naira. .
There should be declarations of emergency on food, which Will go as far as liberating northern farmers from the shackles of bandits and price regulation. Or even the FG taking over the transportation/ distribution of essential food items.
As for power, he was more interested in increasing tariffs without given the discos a firm warning about metering and illegalizing estimated bills.
I know he wants to boost revenue but we deserve to get value for the we extra we pay for.

Obiedun:
If they can direct their energy towards reclaiming their land from invaders and protect their indigenes against killers as they are doing now they will not be where they are now. They are only good at drinking burukutu.

Whose duty is it to stop the marauding armed nomads from killing people?

Mace0lane:
He was never dead he was just bidding his time to see if Tinubu know exactly what he was doing , if Tinubu meant well for the populace even with this message I believe he being a lot cautious not speaking directly to the failing of the Tinubu administration because no one knows what economic impact recovery or any possible verb is action my lead.

The long the evidence of Tinubu takes to materialize the more those supporting him will voice out concerns on such action this negates the extremely foolishness of the average Igbo obidient that want Tinubu condemned simply because they lost the election not minding is his action will have a y positive or negative action on the economy n the populace at large.

He waited too Long.... 9 years late.

Omenlon:
is that place the truck was parked a road or in front of a residential building in a Street. The way some of you defend criminality because of religion and tribal sentiments and yet still have the moral guts to attacks those in government baffles me. Nigeria and hypocrisy na 5&6.

I'm not defending $hit... Just trying to be objective. There are are certain scenarios that can be clarified by a plausible explanation. That's why we have courts, I believe you're civilized.

mrvitalis:
It's igbos.. Igbos are the major problem we have in Nigeria

Igbos are responsible for tinubu failure they have ideas but won't share it they are waiting for Obi to be president to share their ideas

Igbo are bad people

What ideas can igbos have that "sophisticated" Southwestern folks lack?

Chinkoalhaji34:
Is it not funny how some people thrive on predicting doom and gloom?

Four years of hardship? Na so dem go dey talk because dem no fit see beyond their noses.

Meanwhile, Peter Obi is still searching for solutions in his endless rants.

Instead of focusing on the progress being made, they prefer to wallow in negativity.

How about we give Tinubu a chance to prove the naysayers wrong?

Or are they just scared that he will succeed and put their empty promises to shame?

Have we not borne 9 years of economic free fall already?

sexiestharam:
How can CAN steal palliatives? What kind of country is this? Everyone blames the President but let us look inward, we are our own problem as Nigerians. Is CAN hoarding palliatives Tinubu's fault? Is your LG chairman not repairing your street road for years Tinubu's fault too? Na wa!

But there's a video of people taking bags from a truck. Meaning it was on Transit. CAN may not be lying here.

They (NNPC agency) can regulate the quality, quite alright. But they shouldn't sabotage his efforts.

nairalanda1:
Yeah, so? And it has probably lost just as much due to selling under subsidy

The harsh truth is, if you are operating at a loss, all that money is going to be stolen over time or lost via loss making sales. That's how damaging subsidy is. Because free money is coming in and you really do not need to be profitable to make cash, corruption and looting will resukt


Venezuela does subsides..and it's largest refinery produces at less than one ninth the former capacity . Same issue. Is Nnpc.running Venezuela refining?

The long and short is, if nnpc was allowed to operate profitably, that 40 million billion would be well spent.

Dangote can do what he did because the banks know that if he messes up , they can get their money back. Plus since he most likely would sell at a profit , the refinery would work.

Because if it loses money,there would be no government rescue via finances and subsides. So it has to work


Free money is an easy way to sabotage anything..making people work for a profit is a way to ensure stuff works

Oya na, the subsidy has been removed, why the backpedalling in the supply of crude to Dangote?. And why the perennial postponement of the start of operation of Nnpc refineries. The political Will is not there. Tinubu is the Minister of petroleum, I presume. He had to wait till Dangote And Nigerians cried out before he approved the sale of crude to Dangote.
Left for them, we'll keep buying from Malta.

nairalanda1:
Because to get the cash needed to repair refineries requires a total removal of fuel subsidy as a first step.

Most of us don't want that,and unless you have the pockets of a dangote, who the banks will lend money to because worst case scenario,they pay themselves back from his other investments via AMCON., you cannot refine fuel at over 1000 a.liter and sell below 700 naira, and have enough for maintenance and upgrade costs

And assuming the status quo remains, dangote would prefer to export.pertol overseas rather than sell it here. And lose money for nothing

Nnpc has spent over $40 billion to overhaul refineries in the past 20 years whereas Dangote built a new One with a larger capacity than the Nnpc 4 combined with $20 billion.
Nnpc and BAT don't want the refineries to work. He should prove us wrong .

SmartPolician:
Fuel subsidy cannot return at this time. The way forward is to work on alternatives like CNG. Fuel subsidy was costing this economy so much and oil cartels cashing out with it.

The best alternative is to make the local refineries efficient And support private refineries so as to reduce price And stop importation. But BAT clearly has no political will to do that. He prefers to buy fuel of $2billion yearly from Malta.

He didn't mention anything about the local refining of petroleum products And stopping importation of same to help boost the naira value.

DMerciful:
Read my comments again. I saw criminals are hiding under agitation for Kanu's release to cause criminality. They may not necessarily be IPOB or ESN members but they know all blame will go to them

That's the consequence of promoting anarchy.

No Dullling.

Express yourselves.
