Pootle:
the country need serious reorientation, the mindset of an average nigerian is extremely corrupt

is it national anthem that bring out reorientation?

Sweetphronesis:
This president has successfully passed every single thing he planned on passing.

With speed too.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing.
He's brave though.

brave in what way?

if you dont know if whether all he has done so far is good or bad, then how are you assessing his performance?

MasterTeeUSA:
Its an idiomatic expression - wouldn't be easy for you to understand. That is why we ask everyone to please stay in school. US is good and yet US citizens travel and move out of the US. That moving is tantamount to the state of the country is why you are where you are. We draw causations and associations. BurnaBoy is over there buying cars I never dream of. You can speak success into your life...OR japa too. Did I stop you or your family?

and part of the subject of literature where you got "idiomatic expression" from, there is also a word known as "sarcasm". am surprised that since you stayed in school, you have no idea what "sarcasm" is even when you see it.

my questions still remain which you have failed to answer.

1. how many years was Rome built?

2. is 25years and a day the same thing?

3. pls how many days is 25years that you feel people should not complain and desire for a better life as Nigerians?

4. I didnt ask you about Burna Boy. if Nigeria was so good, what are YOU doing in the US?

Fcold:
How dp you explain to your kids that this is a man

I have noticed that nairaland enjoys promoting news about gays and these perverts while at the same time Seun posts schedule of marriage seminars where we are supposed to be taught about marriage the godly way

StOla:
Must you always be partisan?

What is unprogressive about a government that has allowed anyone, including yourself, to vent their frustration without any reprisal or consequences?

Does progressive mean government policies will favour everyone?

That your preferred candidate was defeated by a political superior is not the end of progressive politics?

how was he partisan? what exactly did he say that is partisan or did you just learn the word?

why should government policies not favour everyone?

you are the one accusing someone of being partisan and here you are talking about "preferred candidate". what has that got to do with what he said?

this so called "political superior", how has he shown his superiority in governance?

MasterTeeUSA:
If you lived through the Military Era, you would not even ask this question. Democracy might not be great, but at least it allows AriseNews the right to openly criticize the govt without consequences. I see people beating police and soldiers...dem no born your parents and the entire family to do that under the Military Govt. You will just go missing...even NUJ will remain mute. Who born who? So yes, lets celebrate our Democracy...ROME was not built in a day.

how many years was Rome built?

is 25years and a day the same thing?

pls how many days is 25years that you feel people should not complain and desire for a better life as Nigerians?

if Nigeria was so good, what are you doing in the US?

StOla:
I was in secondary school and thought the military was gone for good.

They only left power, they did not leave control.

how did the military leave power but did not leave control?

Splashme:
I actually did not think anyone could be worse that Buhari.

I did not support Tinubu but I often argued that he would be better than Buhari. Surprisingly, I was wrong!
.

what made you think that tinubu would have been better than buhari?

Kobicove:
He's now a roving motivational speaker cum self-appointed ambassador going from country to country

he is not a "self-appointed ambassador". he is a lobbyist and certain kinds of people pay him to lobby thats why you seem going from country to country

StreetFight:
Mabinu Omo Iya mi, let's give him 12 more months, if he doesn't perform his magic and make the Economy better, then na we his Disciples go pursue am

he has already utilised 12months. if he has made Nigeria worse than he met it due to his incompetence, what makes you think a million years will make any difference?

Treasure17:
😀😀 See the way you romanticize and justify stealing. You are funny.

can you show me where and how you saw any justification of stealing in my post that you read?

AskNgige2:
Oga leave that thing..
Na bad leaders de spoil this country..

There are educated Nigerians in Yankee doing well over there..

Your president is not educated even the past president..

Eg former governor of Abia is a Prof. But see how Abia is today..

you said one thing and ended up contradicting it

omohayek:
How many of the PhD holders and professors have you elected as governors, reps and senators? And whose fault is that but your own? Do you think having a PhD gives you mind-control powers or something?

Your insistence on blaming the highly educated for their not being listened to by the millions just like you is a perfect example of "educated illiteracy" in action. You are the political equivalent of the man with heart disease who ignores his doctor's calls to change his diet and take up exercise, only to suffer a heart attack and then begin to curse at the doctor for not forcing the patient to do as he'd been told.

what have the "highly educated" said that the millions didnt listen to?

tungamaje:
That's it. Come to Dei Dei under bridge and see aboki boys waving the new notes looking for buyers. Anyway who arrests a malam?

are POS operators not selling cash?

what is the difference between what these guys are arrested for and what POS are doing? when will bank MDs be arrested for directing their branches to hoard and ration cash even when there is no pressure?

ElevationD:
The driver in the car should simply have bumped into the bike rider. That would have effectively ended the robbery.

People have the penchant for taking pictures and videos when such incidences happen. Actions can be taken to prevent such crimes. Now they have to resort to accusing the Police of not taking action. The citizens have powers also to prevent crime like this from taken place. When such criminals act in such brazen manner, we can take certain measures to stop them. Chase them down with cars. Throw stones and sticks at them and the crime is aborted.

or at least inform the driver

Treasure17:
When you are hungry, rationality is the least of your problem.

if they can conceive this plan and execute it the way they did which demonstrates a high degree of rationality and risk which is needed for success, then they can plan and execute lawful endeaevours which will always keep hunger away if indeed hunger was their problem.

NB: remember that they will still sell what they have stolen. which means they are good marketers and salesmen

helinues:
200m people couldn't produce their own pesticide except they import?

The unions in Nigeria, what have been there usefulness if not money sucking in the name of different fees with no interest of their members .

Are the unions not the one fixing the ridiculous prices?

are you not among the 200m people that cant produce their own pesticide? what have you done to change the situation?

helinues:
Toh

Should government also be blamed for the ridiculous price of goods and services we don't import like pepper, tomatoes, onions?

Why should the attached below items be costing N500 in some Southern region areas.

Before talking about herdsmen activities in the north, are the Southern people so that lazy to produce their own foods?

And before talking about the increase in fuel price, what % of increase in fuel price compared to the ridiculous % increase in prices of foods items we don't import?

oga, all you have said is about inflation. maybe you have not heard of the word before. who is responsible for managing inflation? under the disastrous and difficult terrain which tinubu superintends, how do you want farmers, producers and traders not to increase price of their products? if you are saying the price consumables is ridiculous, why is fuel price, electricity tariffs, multiple taxes, wasteful spending and corruption under tinubu not ridiculous?

MIKOLOWISKA:

In the 60s
PDP members are all former npn and military men


progress
New party instead of one group now we have choice
It's like you would have no per second billing if mtn had no competition from glo
The same in politics and economics and civics
Ppl only respond to competition not to sentiment
The fear of losing election will force them to act
Not lamentation online

was there NPN in the 60s? can you pls name all PDP members and explain how they are all former npn and military men?

you asserted that "Pdp that had failed for 50yrs". pls how old is PDP that it failed for 50years? can you give me the year that fuel was 11k per litre?

you have not answered my question:

how does knowing or not knowing the meaning of failure answer this question....if you call the PDP years failure, what will call the buhari/tinubu era?

MIKOLOWISKA:


Where did I mention integrity
Stick to the topic
That's how you fail exam



Did he win or not after 24yrs of pdp and northern hegemony




Lekki




It is an achievement
Cos it shows it can be done but govt officials are not doing their job





Ikeja and one hospital I believe

tvc, independent paper, oriental ccecc

Now let's see you answer one question about your option

You no fit

how does all you mentioned show integrity?

in the screenshot below, what did you "yes he has" for?

is tinubu INEC that he delivered election?

what constitutional powers does he have to deliver election?

how is delivering a tolled road and bridge an achievement?

how is tax increase an achievement that is delivered?

is it from his pocket that the increased taxes were to be paid?

which private power, private concession and private waste disposal did tinubu deliver?

what does this mean.."Ikeja and one hospital I believe"?

which Media houses, hotels and road construction did tinubu deliver?

tvc, independent paper, oriental ccecc

which "independent newspaper"?

oriental what?

how is tinubu responsible for ccecc?

Treadway:
nah

Letters of credit are guarantees provided by banks to big importers or other international business concerns. Basically it signals that your banks are not only strong enough to fund whatever the level of transaction the letter authorises, but also speaks to the strength of the businesses that use them, cos logically no sensible bank would guarantee a business that they are not certain can repay.

So what this report means is a cumulative depiction of how banks cannot foot the bills of much of the transactions in recent times esp when converted to FX equivalent, and also depicts that most businesses have stopped international trade/imports.

letter of credit has nothing to do with a banks strength because the bank is not the one that initiated the transaction. LOC is a guarantee sent by the bank to the would be seller that the buyer who is its customer has the financial capacity to pay the would be supplier upon the fulfilment of the terms of the contract and that the supplier will be paid once the buyer gets exactly what he ordered for

turmacs:
you must be m*d for asking me that.

I ask again, what has hardship got to do with the story?

turmacs:
This is very sad, hardship everywhere. People have resulted to crime just to survive, this country is fast degenerating into an animal kingdom, lawless everywhere. The saddest part is that when you call Nigerians to come out and stage a massive protest that has the power to change this country for good, they will refuse to come our because they're afraid to lose the miserable lives they're living. Honestly if this everybody in this country had the kind of guts i have ehh, all these useless politicians for don run commot for this country.

what has hardship got to do with the story?

the FRSC focuses on looking vehicles were passengers dont wear seat belts but does not attempt to look for and punish drivers for over speeding or for causing accidents as if not wearing seat belt is the cause of accidents

JagabanB:
I can't repeat what I said, simply go back and read my statements.

on the basis of your previous statement that you say you cant repeat, hence my questions...

who are the "you folks" and the "you all" you are referring to?

did this happen...."Former President Buhari indeed launched commercial operations of the Abuja light project in 2018, invalidating Wike’s insinuation that there was no previous inauguration of commercial operation of the metro line."

JagabanB:
Read my previous replies please.

on the basis of your previous replies, hence my questions...

who are the "you folks" and the "you all" you are referring to?

did this happen...."Former President Buhari indeed launched commercial operations of the Abuja light project in 2018, invalidating Wike’s insinuation that there was no previous inauguration of commercial operation of the metro line."

JagabanB:
Is my statement wrong?
You know the answer

which nationality are you?

JagabanB:
Nigerians love irrelevancies alot but want politicians to take them seriously.

so which nationality are you?

JagabanB:
I can't explain same thing again.

what did you explain before an how is what you think you explained before answer the questions I just asked you?

MEEVEET:
Feel good projects are status project, they are important yes but not needed

They are wants not basics needs
Cocoa house, niger bridge, rail,

They are good if u use revenue to build them... But borrowing to build them makes no sense

who defined railway as a status project? if railway is important, why then is it not needed?

who told you that it cant generate revenue? have you ever used a train to travel interstate in Nigeria?

MEEVEET:
Because it can't pay back its loan cabt generate enough revenue

is that what makes it a "feel good project" or would you want to give a definition to your concept "feel good project"?
who told you that it cant? have you ever used a train to travel interstate in Nigeria?
