I hope wherever this man is now, he’s saved up for his retirement because they’re about to make this go viral and unfortunately for him he might get laid off for this probably unsanctioned mission he sent himself on. Or maybe he’ll release a statement denying it. Let’s watch and see.

I know that no reputable police department anywhere in the modern world will officially stand behind such a potentially dangerous statement and expose themselves to liability.

I can’t even understand what he’s saying so we’re only taking the words of whoever posted it as fact

Woman admit it ! just nairaland alone we know how you ladies abuse the report click, just imagine what these ladies will do with Uk police free toll

Naija wives are very much capable of doing it its not naija men fault foreign women cant take there hands off, please !

1Sharon:
Fake news! That video is over 5 years old. The 'UK police' never said that.

lets even admit the video is old and the police never said that .... is the story distance from reality or what naija wives can do

that was how we saw a woman tore her husband passport at airport and people like you were foaming it is a skit , it is not true

Do you know why the movie acrimony had black characters

pocohantas:
The solution is quite simple. Nigerian men in the UK should marry the white women there.

i knew i will find this one, conscience kicking,

aunty wey **** maybe thats what they are trying to do and the wives are shooting "acrimony"

Adakintroy:
Ok lets say we keep.blaming tinubu
Ok tinubu is bad..let's shout it many times. Does that help with the school fees. The way people generally absent themselves from any blame is what I don't get.

My sister de ask me for money every month to supplement for her 120 salary with 2children. Next thing I know she get bele. So make I blame or she tinubu she never know wetin family planing really mean.

Blame is that the other best you can come up with, why cant we all protest, tell me a nation shutdown protest wont get the govt to revert
I wont blame your sister cos @least she has a job, if APC govt had not happen to Nigeria her 120k salary would feed her nd children comfortably
with the way Tinubu is running the economy its making even people that go to work look unserious .... some family cant even remember when they chop chicken last, so people like you tell dem eat fish or egg .. that is not the kind of life we should be promoting or Nigerians

Govt/Tinubu needs to do better, bring down inflation, at the bus stop you see working class stranded and looking helpness .... do we blame dem or ask dem why take a job that requires transport

Adakintroy:
Stop placing too much pressure on yourself with too much expectations from goverment or others. If na one your power reach cater to one till you finance clime for two.

Even rich men with money sometimes na 2_3 them de get. Na poor man de like get 5_7.

see campaign after election, naa unborn children dey go school abi those don born make dem kill their children to reduce to one or two

with the way this useless Tinubu govt is running everything aground even person wey get one child is it easy, for a bachelor just to eat a standard meal is it easy


These is not the time for those oversabi quote, cut your coat according to your size ..people spend 8yrs under buhari cutting whats left to cut

The summary of Tinubu administration ... lessser money from the govt to the people and more money to the govt to share and finance imcompetence


It still reminds me of how state governors took FG to court to demand excess crude savings be shared ... they won, more money was shared But not a single thing did Nigerians benefit

More money in Nig. equals more money to loot, never effectiveness, efficiency & competency

TheBreastSucker:
To even get good quality breasts to suck is becoming difficult these days because most ladies are not feeding properly dispose to high cost of living

i for carry pocohantas give you, that one still dey see men carry her go chop from one eatery to the other But her miliki is expired

"Sometimes, people dont want to hear the truth because they dont want their illusions destroyed." -Friedrich Nietzsche.

[i]They saw a criminal and foist him on a nation then expect everything to be well. [/i]They see those whose avoid their idiocy as plague and called them wailers. Who is now wailing? Many useless people

How does these position toh waa eyin mor benefit you, nagging, blame game at these point how does it help

we warn you crew ... what does that phrase even give you guys,

atiku4President:
For where? They won't say pim. Most of them think saying the obvious is fighting the government of their own son. Forget them.

They would rather prefer to tell their people to pray away their sufferings and hardships to intervening and stopping the nonsense their son has plunged the nation into.

if they don't pim ! is the state of the nation not enough attestation that Nigerian are undergoing extreme hardship

With fuel selling @1200, does Tinubu need a soothsayer to understand the ripple effect on businesses and low income earners

Yorubas adage says, enì bu rù mor o kon wa eni toh ma sor fun ni i.e a wicked person knows, he/she is just looking for who will tell


Gone are those days we argue the president is distance from people reality ....as long as Tinubu has a smartphone and manage to buy data we are connected

cococandy:
Team foreign girls in the mud

So she’s now a witch?

yiimu! in a country where there is no mud, team foreign women rocks cos when they are in r/ship with Nigerians they are the provider/Atm

Na we dey charge dem for support jealousy written all over you take a bath

nairalanda1:
Which they can afford because of very high revenues, which is due to...you guessed it...high taxes and diversifed economies



So, we are at the chicken and egg question

They have good infrastructure because they charge high enough taxes which yield the kind of revenue to not only build those nice infrastructre, but also to maintain it very well, and modernize it if need be.

Not Nigeria where the average allawee from the federal government to a state is not up to what one hospital in the USA spent to expand its facilites. Before looting o.
ANd Nigeria charges shit taxes. Take away corruption..the revenue is too low to get to where US and UK and so on are

THAT IS WHY STEALING IN NIGERIA IS EVIL, AND WHY WE HAVE TO STOP IT.




And also the useless policies of most governments, from independence

Nigeria's economy since independence has been run on the priniciple of sell raw materials, share the money, import stuff. That is why we are as broke as anything

Not just Nigeria...pick any African nation, even the South Africans, and it is the same story, and no one has been run by a NIgerian (Well, the DR Congo's LIngala people did emigrate from what is now NIgeria over a thousand years ago, but that's not important).



No, subsides in developed countries are not explixit subsides...as we do here, where we force the business to sell below production prices and pay them a subsidy to compensate them for the resultant loss. Which works, until inflation and rising costs of production set in

(A little secret...NIgeria used to subsidise food items. It worked until 1982 when oil prices crashed, by 1984/5 there was mass food scarcity especially of ESSENCO items. WHen IBB took over, he removed food subsides. Since then, you have not have to be queueing for milk and sugar for example.)

IN developed countries, subsides are either production subsidies, which are given to companies in the forms of grants or tax breaks (what we do here for Dangote, otherwise cement would be 20000 for a 50kg bag by now)...or subsides to the poor...means tested poor. In other words, if you are earning below a certian amount, you qualify for such subsides. But they are not meant to be permanent...once you are back on your feet, the subsidy goes.




I wish it was true...it isn't. LIfe can be difficult there.


The problem is, we cannot subsidese fuel on a budget of 18 billion dolalrs for 200 million people. You need something like trillion dollars before we can talk.

I am not joking.

Doing that for 4 decades is why we have a large debt burden and several years of deficit budgeting

Or if you are now accepting debt, then better praise Buhari and tinubu for the debt they got us into...because a large chunk of it was due to susbdies. As for me, that's bunkum economics of APC.




Yawn.

If the refinery is not making a profit, it does not matter if you sink Bill Gate's entire fortune into it...so long as you sell fuel at a loss, the loss will eat up the money sunk therein. That and corruption because free money.

Subsidy is not sustainable.

Bro what are even saying, these countries make high revenue cos they maximize there resources and the govt spares no effort to creat an enabling environment for businesses to thrive then the TAX last.
Moveover this taxes turn revenue are used to fund a variety of goods, programs, and services to support the American public and pay interest incurred from borrowing.

it is not about affordability the difference is in priorities. like we see Tinubu govt prioritize Hajj subsidy over education/ health
Tinubu Govt told us we are broke, states are owing, pensioneers are owed But Tinubu govt could afford private jet, cardillac beast & yatcht .. if we no broke nkor !

Bro get the arguement, everywhere in the world it provision before billing, no america we pay high tariff for darkness, no america we pay high taxes if he graded the road to his house himself, no america we pay high taxes if he has to hire viligante and pay monthly.
As a Nigerian after paying high tax, i know i will stil drive my car on bad roads, @ the fed hospital i will still hear no bed space , i know i still have to arrange viligante, i still have to send my children to private schools cos govt will do nothing asides loot
Tinubu promise us money saved from subsidy removal wil be use for infrastructures, today no subsidy savings nowhere to be found and these are the people you believe will use our Taxes right.

No amount of salary you earn, if you are wasteful spender or gambler you wont gather properties. The only thing in politicians head is steal, loot and loot

nairalanda1:
UK, US, Germany also

1. Have very high tax rates, in Germany it can reach half your income for the year.

2. Have diversifed industrial economies that export industrial products. Does Nigeria have that.?

3.Subsidise fuel for the very very needy...who are means tested before they get the subsidy...and yes, that includes food for example.

4. Note, they don't do subsidy for everybody, for a select few of people

5. Fuel prices in the US and UK and Germany can be much higher than Nigeria thanks to massive fuel tax...especially in many parts of the USA for example.

6. Even then, subsidised sectors are heavily in debt...eg Germany train system is subsidsed and is also heavily in debt.


Try again?

Plus saying the above does not mean I support tinubu, dumbass.

if you had given it a proper thought you no suppose even talk p, while we agree UK, US ,Germany have high taxes it is also imperative to known those countries measures in place to compensate and reimburse the citizens

In those countries high taxes are paid, they infrastructures and social services the commensurate and justify the "high tax" in Nigeria one god forsaken politician will loot the fund and nothing will happen

if Nigeria dont have industrial economy whose fault, with the cbn incessant interest rate hike or the ill thought fiscal policies of the useless Tinubu govt which one facilitate enabling environment for industrial operations.
Aside Tinubu sharing what are measure the old fool as come up with to support industrialization

Bro you are not talking to a bush, in develop countries incentives, palliative and subsidy are structure to address "ALL " citizens who need it.

Higher fuel price in Uk, Us and Germany bear no adverse effect on economic operation of those countries besides most household or business may never need fuel to run, the high taxes is justified

Debt is inevitable .. but you must agree those subsidized sectors are effective and they operate at optimal service as a citizen thats my concern, i dont know where you belong

in the last two decades, the money spent on our refineries repair is enough to build new dangote kind of refinery but nothing to show ... thats the system you are trying so fvcking hard to defend, you fail bro

nairalanda1:
Libya also has 8 million people. We have 260 million people

Therefore Libya has more money per Capita than we do

That's why they can afford subsidies. We can't

Oga lets hear word, jare is it only libya you see on the list or is it only libya that afford subsidies


in the Uk, Us, germany name it, are the govt not subsidizing food, health , education among other things
Have you heard about tax refund, these are topnotch initiatives of right thinking leaders not that fool old man that only thinks of how to take everything from Nigerians and give 5kg rice in return.

Tinubu is a disgrace

timoyin1617:
Can you imagine just spending only 700 naira for this pepper and tomatoes at a popular Sabo market in Kaduna, 200 naira for pepper while 500 naira for tomatoes, altogether 700 naira. Forever enjoying the North

If naa because of tomato, bro keep enjoying the North, and pls be mindful of posting your location anyhow make bandits no go find you before terrorists check in

ttoyetade:
Portable is making sense. The day Fela started attacking the Military government is the day he began to go down. He should have focus on this music jeje. Eventually his republic was burnt, his mother was killed and he lost most of the things he worked for.

You are highly mistaken, infact what made Fela music standout was the controversy that surrounds it
Fela is not the type to be singing big waist, fine face, i don dey wait for you my charge abi big big things nii mo like ... his call is activism with music

Among all his colleagues Fela became a legend/icon today because he spoke truth to power when a lot of people dare not to

whatever fela lost as to properties i am sure his family has gained more

TerrouMuda:
Is the refinery working now?

was any of the clarifications necessary

TerrouMuda:
Is it the Ebele year, or the Obasanjo igbo man year?

kini iyato ?? whats the difference ?? did the refinery work under GEJ abi naa electricity stable

idanone:
you mean when Obasanjo was in the realm of the affairs, Obasanjo tenure was just like barca team even a blind man can be governor and still succeed in his government.

As at when Obasanjo left, Nigeria refineries were not working, major roads were in bad state, some governors owe salary and electricity was epileptic ...
ogbeni go n suck breast, you dont know what you are saying

TerrouMuda:
Lol. But we never voted the president. The 8 million majority that voted for him, should end his bad government. We are learning our lessons in peace. Some voted for bad government just to spite the Igbos.

These position you are akeen to, of what use is it at these time,

are igbos the only tribe in Nigeria, why is it that when things dont favour an igboman he turns it to "victimization".

In my compound then we did illegal light connection, naa my wire nepa 1st disconnect, immediately they move to next compound rented by igbo he started shouting is it because i am igbo

so yoruba went to vote Tinubu because we want to spite igbo .. year wey omo igbo no contest nkor

Mathiasa:
It's best his tribal chiefs start telling him the truth. I love Jimi Disu who always speaks the truth about the president incompetent.
What Gani is doing now is an indication that even the people who comes to nairaland to defend nonsense are not having it easy.
I think it's time we leave tribalism and religion sentiment out of our life here in Nigeria so that we can move on.

How old was Tinubu administration when the " ebin paa waa " outburst trended .. election ended in southwest immediately the winner announce, we move

Do you know Tinubu now visits lagos on lowkey nd avoids the crowd, people see what they chose to see,
No tribe in Nigeria criticised Obasanjo more than the southwest, did SS do that to jonathan or Did north chant "we are dieing" to Buhari even when insurgence almost wiped them out

Yet Yorubas are the most tribalistic cos 60% voted for a yoruba

TerrouMuda:
When that tribe is also talking forward, others are talking backwards. You named them wailing wailers.

Funnily una direction never aligns with the direction the world, dont you see


we are talking end bad governance una go dey talk 2023 election, and when we are talking of election they we be talking biafra .. e sick oo una no just know nii

Bluntemperor:
Gani Adams has always been bitter,just as before,though he has some point.
But,it is always Elderly for any well intentioned Traditional Rulers to go and have Personal discussions with the Head/ President and I think he was never allowed because of his past pathways with Tinubu.

dear kid, the truth is always bitter, if Gani sounds bitter you just attested he speaks the truth !

You agreed he has some points, what is Gani relationship with Tinubu that guarantees a personal meeting even Dele momodu that had a cordial relationship with Tinubu for decades, did he not resort to Open letter.

Despite prominient yorubas calling out Tinubu back2back , children of hate are still accusing yorubas of tribalism you can imagine

TerrouMuda:
But you guys said that Tinubu got the blue print of fixing the country from Architect Unago Sofa.

why are you people always talking backward, how can a whole tribe sleep n face one direction, when we are talking forward they will be talking backward

Amumaigwe:
Oga, you are just very pathetic. Nobody is fighting for good leadership with you. Suffer your suffer alone and quietly.

Only a fool will think, Under economic hardship, one person can suffer alone.

Neduzoma123456:
Forget all these drama, we know the Yorubas very well...

When the time of election comes, they will still vote dia uncle .

Tribalism is deeper than what you think it is in Nigeria.

There is a reason why the Igbos call the Yorubas saboteurs, we can all clamour and complain, but when the D-Day of the elections come , everyone of them will remember dia race and put tribe first.

You know the yorubas so well, how did yorubas vote that igbos did not ...
can we even compare how yorubas voted for Tinubu to how igbos voted Peter Obi .. you are just shameless,
a tribe that gave Peter Obi 90% vote is calling yorubas that gave Tinubu less than 60% vote "Tribalist" 😄 God is good

Now the yorubas are sabetour, coming from a tribe that killed other tribe leaders in a coup and saved their own 😄 is your name chinedu or sabinus cos you funny die

Your fathers call us saboteurs because we chose not to boycott a nigeria election but today Igbo offsprings are boycotting national Protest so what should we caption the igbos ??

no be say we even care, but una go still dey open mouth yarn dust, bro shut the fvckup

idanone:
Tinubu was never the ideal man for the job. Back door president did not fail those youth that already knows he is a failure before election, my tribe only saw 2023 election as a competition with the igbos forgetting that Competitent Obi is forever better than Tribulation.

People only see what they chose to see, If Peter obi was not in the presidency race SW would have voted for who ?? Atiku
If Tinubu that concieved free trade zone in analog age is not an ideal man, it is Peter obi that bought shares in a brewery that is ideal

Bros orì ta yin !

@ Neduzoma123456 can you see your live outside, Gani adams we know who are the ones you claim see nothing wrong in whatever Tinubu does.
Once again i ask, in the face of bad leadership in Nigeria what as Igbos ever done to save Nigeria
Tinubu, & dele momodu went on exile, sowore and adeyanju went to prison cos they fighting for a better Nigeria, what is Nnamdi kanu in prison for ??

Call me i tribalist, i no send , But i think is high time the igbos Shut the fvckup, if you cant join Nigerians to fight for good leadership @least shutup and stop the aimless distraction

Neduzoma123456:
Shut up your mouth... I still discuss with your people on a regular basis and most of them will not want to admit dia uncle is a disaster that happening to Nigeria

In recent times, 70% of those that have come out to castigate Tinubu openly/ media are the yorubas
the 'Ebin pa waa" outburst was from yorubas , they said it to Tinubu face, which other tribe can do that to their son

Soyinka address the president, people cant be asking you for bread nd you give dem bullet

Dele momodu wrote an open letter, pa adebanjo, bode george, obasanjo , sowore, even adeyanju these are all yorubas that have called out the Tinubu govt

the notable faces to End bad governance protest were actively yorubas

Asides blaming & mockery what have our igbo brothers contributed, in the face of bad leadership in Nigeria. people shouting e no concern us should learn to shutup as well

YEYE govt ! How favourable is shunning up interest rate and raising taxes to SMEs

The ongoing sheningans between dangote and govt does it rekindle confidence in investors

In a country where purchasing power is already eroded what suffice to propel the economic .

Tinubu must think investors are stupid no wonder he keeps travelling around with nothing to show .. investors use there eye more than there ears

UHLmoving:
another story.

I didnt know you were born yesterday

Excelneedful:
They are all Pretenders and hypocrites.

There faith loosing is fake .

They are Madly in love with Sufferings

una just like to dey talk without reasoning

UHLmoving:
Story

They haven't seen anything yet

Then you dont know the yoruba people well, lemme tell you small about my race, if you are doing good yorubas will celeberate you like god BuT that one day you Bleep up ... my yoruba people we turn back on you
when yorubas turn there back you it will take God to make adore you again ...

Tinubu now comes to lagos on low key, he knows yorubas will rebuke him in public
