Girls these days are all looking for Odogwu. The already made rich man they created for themselves in their dreams. Noone wants to build with any man.

But unknown to them, the rich ones are not even up to 10%. How they will all compete for such miniature percentage of rich men baffles me.

Instead of clamouring for a rich guy, a wise lady with wisdom will instead look out for a hard working and ambitious young man.

This is because a young man who is hard working and ambitious can become rich at any point in time. But common sense is far from most of them.

Which rich guy will harbour a liability who wasn't there when he got rich?

Fóolish bunch of delusionáls.

We keep reminiscing Women want rich men, what about men of this modern time who wants liability ... suffering impedes love

Tbh, its becuming stale to blame women for desiring riches.
if you are a woman naa poor man go be your choice

JustAndy:
.


Honestly I just believe men are not stupid as women think we are. I dont want to say much because this was the message I received from someone I just met...

what are you expecting, things like this shoudnt be a surprise anymore

shebi you sef get plans to nack her, give n take l'aiye mehn

descarado:
Those blaming here don't have up to 50k in their account. Real men marry. Just that they can't differentiate between a wife, mistress, maid and mother. The 4 are not the same and no wife should take the job of the other 3.

Unless they are ready to be sugar daddy, daddy, boyfriend and husband in one.

I look forward to knowing the woman that coined that word "Real men"

women dont just use that word except they want to manipulate,
babe : real men buy G wagon for there wife,
OG : sorry your dad is my role model

Nnamdipapa:
Then why bother me with your minimum wage stupidity?

It is your duty to build your life so as not to depend on minimum wages.
m
As an adult, if you have to depend on a minimum wage to survive, it is your own damn fault.

Fools are not hard to know, No be you bring your irrelevant life online Mr earn in Dollar ... who asked you

Ode how do you build your life not to earn in accordance with a minimum wage of your country
if everyone owns a business who go be an employee or Naa everybody go do remote work

your last statement depict you lack all form of sense, weyre you have total control of your life you no dey on Forbes list, or you decided not to be as rich as dangote

No remote worker wey i know, normal for head, any small thing i earn in dollar but they are the most useless people to turn to, everyone around them is always guilty of entitlement mentality

enjoy your dollar but fvcking shutup on threads like this

Nnamdipapa:
Naija is paradise for me because I earn dollars in Nigeria and spend in Naira. I own businesses and don't give a fvuck about minimum wages.
I am sick and tired of these people with a minimum wage mentalities.

Thats an abberation that you shouldnt be using to juxtapose cost of living

e.g If you were a student abroad and your parent are working in nigeria to pay your school fee ... will you say mom ! dad ! Nig. is paradise

That you are lucky and earning in dollars does not change the present reality of Nigeria or her currency .. its irrelevant

the minute you think you can use a foreign earning to juxtapose good cost of living in Nig .. minimum wage must bust your ears

You dont give a fvck, gud 4 you ! buh would your fvck have made any decimal difference.

Nazgul:
Your story is once sided and sounds entitled.

Having a million naira (or more) in your account doesn't translate to you having enough money to give around. You should know that people have their own problems they're struggling to solve as well.

If you're the kind of person who lends money to friends regularly, you'll understand that most Nigerians don't pay back loans.

Many would even tell you to your face that you're doing better than them financially, you're driving a car and live well, and yet you still expect them to pay you back can't you even dash them the money, forgetting that they were the ones who went into the agreement of paying back.

They'll see you as a stingy and wicked person. Some would even vow behind your back never to pay you back. This is why most people just give you an amount they can afford to let go whenever you ask them for money. So even if you chose not to repay them back, they won't feel it.

No one owes you anything in this life. The moment you condition yourself to live that way, you won't live your life expecting people to always come to your rescue, and getting angry when they don't.

Ofcus the story is One-sided, buh coming from a guilty conscience makes the story credible enough ..

Having over a 1m in account and your friend needing just 50k barely 5% of your account not even net worth means you are over eligible to help

As far as this case is concern you have a 50k to throw away and you wont even feel it,

We all have problems but problem pass problem your own need my be 20m but a friend net problem is just 100k ... nothing stops you from blessing that friend, make e leave God alone to attend to you

Entitlement is not as Evil as our Generation try to promulgate, why are we friends if i cant ask you for help or you dare not ask me

We all have our stories of ingrate friends, But thats clearly not the story of today.

Nobody owes you anything 100% but no man is an island ... even dangote go get people e dey call for favours

Nnamdipapa:
Why exactly are people cursing this man? Why don't you refute his statements? I pay more than N600k every month in utilities abroad per month, N3.2M in mortgage for one house alone per month, I will never pay 20% of that in Nigeria. You people never see anything good in your country. Between August last year and February this year, I was paying about N6m per month in mortgages which included an empty house under renovation. You want me to tell you how much I pay in taxes per month?

Abroad go bill you like crazy, Imagine your own house in Naija with no mortgage and a 24hour solar light? O boy, Naija na paradise on earth I swear.

Oga your school fee was total waste of Money,
How can you use worthless naira currency to justify your cost of living abroad

Dont convert to naira, tell us the minimum wage of Us, how much you earn and lets weigh it to your re-expenditure

If you think naija naa paradise come back home and be making 6m ... yeye people

using dollar to juxtapose naira economic is better is the height of illiteracy

honour7:
there are some ACs that don't cool every aspect of the room properly, if that is what the owner bought, then it should be replaced. People should learn to render services that was paid for. Which one is because the emvironment was hot that is why the AC does not cold. what is the function of AC again.

How about if the services does not suit you or not satisfied simply walk away

You see am before you pay, nagging is unnecessary walk away to what suits you

EPIJOE:
They should focus on the return leg. It won't be easy at the bernabue

madrid get another team wey go play the 2nd leg

We are saving a chicken from hawk e say we no allow am enter chicken republic go flex

if any of us have the choice to chose a nation pre- birth, you think 99% of Nigerians will be in Nigeria.

Most of us for sue our parent, buh what will jesus do

donproject2:
People will come online to provide half information to denigrate others just to have cheap scores.

A guy in my apartment would leave his 2 HP AC switch on all the times, and this is a place where we have light almost 24 hours a day, the first bill that was released after he installed the AC, his bill was so huge, mind you, we use meter reader.

The guy started complaining that he can't be paying huge some for electricity, asking rheotorical questions like should NEPA bill in a years be more than house rent, I aggresively told him you can even pay a month bill equivalent to your 1 year house rent if you have heavy appliancens that consume energy so well. Ever since that day, I have never heard the sound of his AC's compressor again.

Maybe energy is expensive But not as Expensive as people like you try to promulgate

what we have in Nigeris is mostly "crazy bill" constumers are just extorted cos consumer protection do not exist.

I dont see how a residential energy consumption will be more than rent ... most appliances in this age are energy saving so whats your rationale behind crazy bills

Malroux:
His only offence was supporting Obi.

Base on what source or statement, person wey support obi no fit commit crime ??


are we going to toll the lame line of obedience are saints again

Stilloracle:
US should face its problems created by Trump and leave Nigeria alone. Nigeria is not answerable to US. US is sliding into Recession and acute unemployment. They are busy pokenosing into Nigeria

Nigeria is a sovereign country

Edward Ekpo sounds Nigerian. The Calabar man hiding behind US Institute must go-to hell

Tbh, US dont have to focus on US before problems are solved cos they have a better system than works

Can Nigeria solve her own problem alone, where your leaders have ordinary malaria dey run to Us

your president catches cold overnight he is on a emergency flight to france and you are here shouting Nigeria is not answerable to US ..
see his mouth

helinues:
Next time, type in pidgin

Will that bring back the part you sacrificed to pledge allegiance to Tpain

PresidObi:
Sir, my candidate had never failed before, he will never fail as Nigeria president. It was clear that criminal forces were fighting him, but what amazed me was that some innocent Nigerians believed the propaganda against him.

I can recuse myself from the protest, but what if it affects my workers from coming to work? Should I pay them for not coming to work in a protest I know that Stoneheart jagaban has rigged. Sowore may be acting a script he has been paid to act. Don't endanger your life.

Meaning your candidate never Won before in Nigeria. so how do we take you for a FACT

he will, is not a guaranteed statement, even tested ok appliance they fail when you carry am reach house

With the reactions of police and FG to protest, does it look like protest can disrupt business activities. lets be realistic

Even if sowore is acting a script, @least Nigerians are presented the opportunity to vent there anger/frustation.
when people can't vent at ALL that should be your biggest Fear, cos naa sudden explosion go follow.

Living in Nigeria is enough endangerment, naa you suppose don japa if your life is so precious to you

PresidObi:
It irritates me when those who were warned return to expect me to participate in solving what I spent over 2 years screaming for people to run away from. Just like meeting a friend whom you fought and advised and even helped to Rehab for drug use, and one day you find him eating from a dumpster, you will be so annoyed.

Nigeria has become like this because people who are looking to get high refused to hear advice from those who know.

Let's all eat rubbish for the next 6 years, maybe our brains will reset by force. Please dont protest, it's of no use, you will even scatter the business of a few of us still managing to survive in your fight with the heartless security forces. Dont come and scatter my company abeg.

Point of correction, No one expect you kan kan, did swore tag your name, did anyone call you on phone to come out

You have exclusive right to recuse yourself or participate in anything protest ..

dont cumma wail i warned you, life is full of risk and making mistake is not the end of the world, if Peter obi had won and things were this bad, We would still think Tinubu is the best thing after slice bread

Dont feel you are better cos your candidate performance remains unknown.

even in america they protested yesterday

helinues:


As usual, the protest already died naturally before it gets started

whats the difference between the protest and Tinubu shot at economic reforms

Tpain toh gba penalty lo throwing

Ngozi123:
It's not only Igbos who don't like amala — you can see that in this thread.

I love amala and ewedu but it's fine if others don't have the same opinion as me. One man's meat is another man's poison.

Abacha is very nice if properly seasoned. Have you tried is with fried/roasted mackerel fish?

yeah one man is another poison !! i have never eaten abacha though .... when my igbo friends want to buy for me i remind dem i am not ruminant

bring nkwobi

PresidObi:
Bro, you have to live with your choices in life, you can't make a mistake and want to pull all of us into helping you pack your mess.

I need so.e peace abeg.

Well what you consider "My Mess" affects us all, so it only logical what affect us All we come together and clean it

if you dont feel affected kindly keep mute. dey look

Quarterpast:
Ok. Oya buy Amala and ewedu for me lemme eat. I like the stew and kpomo on it whenever it is served. I'm in Ibadan rn

1,500 will do

Enter iya samund resturant along adeoyo road ... wait there

PresidObi:
Arrest all the noisemakers and lock them up somewhere.

Most of them voted for a druggie.

Really, how many police wan arrest ALL .. shame on everyone supporting Tinubu govt .... nobody cam take the voice of the people away under any guise

we voted a druggie doesnt mean we will support him blindly

Quarterpast:
So In ur small mind, whoever isn't Yoruba is automatically an Igbo?
Nawao

whoever makes a mess amala nd ewedu as to be igbo thats the only CONTEXT here,

you're welcome

Quarterpast:
People hype some food a lot, meanwhile, such foods aren't worth such hype.

No disrespect to my brothers from the southwest, to me, Amala and ewedu remind the most overrated food. I see absolutely nothing spectacular about the food.

you must be igbo, thats the only people that make a mess of amala and ewedu ... funnily whites that have tasted amala and ewedu made nice reviews

Abacha igbos eat dont make sense to me, when i am not ruminant but other eastern food goes with me

I think my over rated food is breakfast in bed, whatever it is, having it on bed does not make it more enjoyable than on dining

we now have so many women looking 4ward to breakfast in bed, folake4u relax its over rated,

sogodihno:
One thing I like Tinubu for is his courage, no president can take the step he has been taken in their first time in office

You mean courage in always Subverting the wishes and choices of the people at all time

When will Tinubu show true courage by give n directives that will hurt the political class, or high n mighty in the society.

Picking on your "size" is the true courage

SmartEnergyng:
Ah, “feigning stupidity,” you say? Fascinating choice of words—from someone who's working overtime to pretend **complexity is ignorance**.

Let me flip it back at you: maybe the only one **“feigning intelligence”** [/b]here is the one who walks into a nuanced economic debate and expects every answer to come gift-wrapped with applause lines and short-term miracles.

But let’s take your points—since we’re here for clarity, not clapbacks.



[b] 📌 **Point 1: “Anyone can have a PhD. Intelligence lies in impact.”**

True. And that’s precisely why **your argument collapses on itself**.

Because when someone with that much education and experience spends his time simplifying policy for public understanding, he’s doing exactly what *impactful economists* are supposed to do—**translating complexity into clarity.**

Impact isn’t always building a dam. Sometimes, it’s helping a country walk through the storm **without losing its sense of direction**.

Fasua has:
- Advised the presidency during one of the most difficult economic transitions in decades.
- Helped draft policy that prioritizes[b] **internal production over external illusions**.[/b]
- Spent years creating jobs through SME development, running businesses, and mentoring entrepreneurs—real people, real jobs.

That’s tangible. Maybe not flashy. But **real work rarely comes with confetti.**


📌 **Point 2: “You shouldn’t compare $1 with ₦1,500. Compare the lowest unit of both currencies.”**

I see you’re reaching deep into the bag of analogies—but you’ve pulled out the[b] **wrong scale**.[/b]

This is where your logic breaks down:

In economics, **purchasing power parity (PPP)** doesn’t compare coins. It compares **value in terms of what you can buy locally**. [/b]You don’t compare a dime to a kobo—you compare [b]**how far a person’s money goes in each country**.

So no, we don’t compare ₦10 to 10 cents. We compare **what ₦1,500 can buy in Nigeria vs what $10 can buy in the U.S.**

That’s the whole point Fasua was making. The fact that you missed it doesn’t make him stupid—it just shows **you came to a chess match swinging a frying pan.**

📌 **Point 3: “Highlight one real, relatable impact of Tope Fasua’s work.”**

Let’s try:
- Championing economic literacy across TV, print, and podcasts in a country where misinformation runs wild.
- Supporting SME policy frameworks and entrepreneurship as a private sector actor.
- Helping shape **non-theoretical, boots-on-ground policy advice** that supports long-term reform—whether you like the reforms or not.

But here’s the real irony: you ask for **"tangible impact"** while contributing nothing but **tangible bitterness**.

If policy must be shouted or sponsored by Hollywood before you recognize it, then maybe **you’re not actually looking for impact—you’re looking for theatre.**

---

✅ **Final Word:**

You don’t have to like Fasua. You don’t have to agree with him.
But let’s stop pretending that a man offering honest, accessible policy insights during a tough time is the villain—while those who gave us cosmetic economics are suddenly heroes in hindsight.

As we say, *“If you break the drum that carried you to the dance floor, don’t complain when the music stops.”*

Don’t knock the man cleaning up the mess just because **you preferred the illusion that made the mess look pretty.**

When you have meaningful contributions backed with results .. prevarications won't be a lifeline ... are you a poet

Before you misconstrue my context, Maybe Nigerians have outgrown "applaud lines" and we all agree naa only Jesus "Miracle" no dey taya ... so your interpretation is just a mischief

If Tope intention is to simplify economic policies then he did an awful job, cos both the elites & illiterate dont buy the wack analysis he gave, a mere common sense who have flawed Tope pov, how do you justify a worst performing currency

lemme ask, is Tope really about the people or he is trying to earn his pay, Nigerians are not fool naw
i tried to leave the messenger and dwell on the message

If Fisua had advised the govt at our most challenging time, so what depict the economic is out of challenging times, give one tangible result to validate, please

Between you and I, what are the indexes that portray prioritized local production so far ... have productivity increased where??


Thats you own bo'lè kaja economic, In standard economic purchasing power btwn two nation is guaged purely on "minimum wage" it an abberation to use $ to juxtapose cost of living a country with valuless currency

Yoruba adage says, Oun ti o ba jora la"fin wey ará wòn i.e compare whats alike

Pick Us lowest currency and compare with Nigeria lowest currency, highest vs highest thats the logical scale or go minimum wage

Everything you said about Tope resonates paper works that never transcend beyond illusions, since you cant place the results

SmartEnergyng:
It’s one thing to critique policy. That’s fair game in any democracy.
But to discredit someone’s competence based on a surface read of their CV? That’s not analysis—it’s academic snobbery dressed in lazy thinking.

First, let’s get the facts straight.

**Tope Fasua is not just a “commercial banker.”/b] He holds degrees in [b]Economics from institutions like the London School of Economics, earned a **PhD in Public Policy & Administration**, and is a fellow of several professional bodies. He has written extensively on economic reform, public finance, development economics, and policy architecture. That alone already puts him miles ahead of many “theoretical economists” whose only engagement with Nigeria’s economy is through Twitter threads and textbook quotes.

Second, your argument reveals a misunderstanding of what[b] **an economic adviser to the president**[/b] is supposed to do.
It’s not about drawing equations on a board or quoting Amartya Sen on TV—it’s about **understanding fiscal policy, interpreting data in real time, communicating strategy clearly, and advising on implementation in a complex, imperfect system**. And on those fronts, Fasua has demonstrated more depth and clarity than many of his peers.

Third, dismissing him as someone “putting out fires” for his boss is rich—coming from people whose own fire is often just Twitter rage and echo-chamber retweets, without the burden of actually solving anything.

Being “into developmental economics” isn’t a badge you wear—it’s a mindset applied to real policy issues. And if you bothered to read his work instead of skimming a resume like a lazy recruiter, you’d know he’s done plenty of that.

As we say, “A man who judges a book by the cover often misses the wisdom in the pages.”

So next time, come with a real critique. Not this shallow take that couldn’t pass an entry-level debate class.

I dont know you but i am more disappointed in you, @least we know why Fisua is feigning "Stupidity"

Anybody can have degree, phd and whatever But true intelligences lies in " Real impact" ... fasua might have written more on economic reforms But please highlight [b]One real impact [/b]traceable to his works

Forget academic resume, No sensible person will compare the lowest unit to highest unit, $1 is the lowest currency of Us

America lowest currency cant buy meal anywhere in Us, how about Nigeria lowest currency lets use #10, can it buy any meal .... thats the logical scale to juxtapose

Seems you know Tope well, highlight Tope's works relatable to "tangible impacts" so far

WizardOfNG:
My bro, if accurate, he more than deserves it. No one has taken time to always defend plus thoroughly and exhaustively explain the policies and initiatives of President Tinubu in ways that completely educates Nigerians, willing to learn, and dismisses deliberate fake news and misinformation from political mischief-makers. I have learnt a lot from Reno.

Also, Omokri is a well-educated, eloquent, witty and very intelligent individual who will be one of our stand-out Ambassadors for sure. Fully endorse his nomination if indeed accurate.

What is there to explain about the counter productive policies synonmous with Tpain govt

Anyone can package rubbish, go n read the comment sections of Reno post ...
how do you make sense of refinery is working and yet Nnpc is still the largest importer or
Nigerians record highest revenue generation under Tinubu but the same govt have taken our loans from 70trn to almost 150 trn just under 2yrs

Sebi naa one idiot say 1500 can buy bolli & fish but $1 can not buy a meal anywhere in Us therefore Nigerians should be happy there highest currency is being compared with america lowest currency

Thats what you call defense, do Tinubu boiz care about Nigerians, any objectivity, @least now we know why Reno aborted his brain

Catapault:
But the market is filled with people buying and selling.

How many Nigerians use Shoprite?

How do we even know where or when he is filming that thing?

Are you it’s not the SHOPRITE In Abakiliki or Awka that he’s filming from, and claiming Silverbird?

Yeah !! maybe local market and neighbourhood stood stores are filled ... but is the quantity of what they are buying

is sales what it use to be, people are downsizing and scale of preference is fantastically high ... thats the issue here

slimfit1:
These people will start loosing business very soon.

You no sabi business, business is all about patronage, what attract men the most

as a gym owner just contract gurlz to come to your gym regularly and you will see men trooping in, even baba 70 for area go wan enter gym ..
you can pay incentives or even kit these gurlz up they will come


even my folake4u that can not lift two turkey drumsticks at a time done dey go gym ... naa sharia court weddin we go do las las

TimeManager:
I can't wait for the hammer that will land on that girl.


-Kiss the truth!

why did Tinubu back down, thot they said he likes taking tough decisions

useless govt

PressMyButton:
Just 90 days without pay, these ones are lucky, a child that is not trained at home, it is from outside he/she will collect home training. You're not the ones that forced the Government to make an announcement of 70,000. Civil service are collecting 70k, while the Govt generously increased your own to 77k, but you think you can arm twist the Government when to start paying you based on your own terms by inciting other corp members in a WhatsApp group to revolt.
These ill- trained GenZ allowing some devils from outside be pushing them foolishly. Now, you have to serve for extra 3months and you won't collect that 77k for the period. What would they even do with the 77k, aside buying wigs, buying data for TikTok, going to joints and all sorts, only a few of them have sense when it comes to money.
You see that spoilt brat serving in Lagos, insulting Lagos and doing 30 days rant challenge, that one go collect her own too after service. It will be another fresh one year service for her. I don't have pity for ill mannered, disrespectful and foolish kids.

Days extension is that the worst a tranny govt can do,

We wey no be corpers nko, how do Apc/ Tinubu intend to gag us, cos we aint going to stand down

Tinubu criticize and sponspored protest against every govt in Nig if he thinks he can take our fundamental right away, he should go n ask Abacha
