This man must be a chronic liar and mentally sick. Even kids in primary school know about the report

All these shutdowns of markets have a cumulative effect on the economy that is already strangulated.

"And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." - Luke 12:15.

Life is ephemeral. His death was very sad and tragic. We should all remember that we are pilgrims on earth.

Emilokan and having capacity to govern are totally different. The void created by this is huge. Also in teritary institutions he came and dissolved Governing Councils. At least Buhari allowed Governing Councils appointed by Jonathan to conclude their terms. 7 months later there are no Governing Councils. The promotion of many persons is hanging. Head of these institutions are operating like kings.

It was during Buhari's draconian regime in 1985 that Nigeria won the first ever Kodak Under-17 World Cup.

Abacha as bad as Nigerian's remembered with was the Nigerian leader when Nigeria won most of the famous sports competitions.

In 1994, Super eagles of Nigeria won AFCON during Abacha's regime.

Super eagles played in the first ever World Cup in 1994 under General Sanni Abacha. In their first match Nigeria beat star-studded Bulgaria 3:0. Marginally lost to Argentina 1:2 and beat Greece 2:0.
We were painfully eliminated by Italy 1:2 after leading them 1:0 until the dying minutes when Roberto Baggio equalised. They were awarded a controversial penalty in extra time which the converted. Italy played all the way to the final where they lost to Brazil on penalties.

It was during Abacha's regime that Nigeria won the first and only Olympic Gold medal in Football. It was during Abacha's regime that Chioma Ajunwa won the first individual gold medal for Nigeria. Did that make Abacha the best thing that happened to Nigeria??

Rostikol:
Until we START TO LOVE, PREFER, and VALUE NIGERIAN-MADE GOODS AND SERVICES over foreign-made goods and services, FORGET ABOUT THE NAIRA VALUE RISING.

Until we PREFER to buy Nigerian made shoes, slippers, handbags, cars, sandals, clothes, watches, bangles, etc INSTEAD OF foreign made, FORGET ABOUT NAIRA VALUE RISING.

We have to start to see things like the Chinese.

A China man prefers to buy made in China, even if the foreign version from London is of better quality.

Why? Because he's thinking ''why should I enrich Europeans instead of my own Chinese people?''

And so, this makes manufacturing very profitable in China! And the currency very strong! There is more demand for the Chinese yuan than for the dollar!

Why?

Because the people PREFER made in China to imported!

Without that mindset in Nigeria, FORGET ABOUT NAIRA VALUE RISING.

We cannot have a mindset that laughs at a man for wearing 'Aba-made' shoes.

That's a destructive, ignorant, anti-African mindset that will lead us into the abyss.

THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THESE WOMEN WE CALL NIGERIAN WOMEN SPEND ON SO-CALLED BRAZILIAN HAIR ALONE EACH YEAR, IS MORE THAN 2 BILLION DOLLARS.

IMAGINE IF THEY DECOLONISED THEIR MINDSET, AND FAVOURED TRADITIONAL PLAITING AND WEAVING HAIR STYLES OVER IMPORTED PERMS, WIGS, AND FAKE HAIR, ......THAT ALONE WOULD GENERATE EMPLOYMENT FOR 3 MILLION LOCAL HAIR STYLISTS MINIMUM, AND SHORE UP THE NAIRA VALUE.

When do we wise up as a people?

It's not about pointing fingers at govt officials. They make up less than 0.1% of the Nigerian population.

We over-estimate their influence and capacity to alter society.

THIS IS ON US!

Just as we started to prefer Nigerian movies and music over foreign, which made those sectors BLOW to world class proportions, we can accomplish similar by preferring NIGERIAN MADE GOODS AND SERVICES to foreign made.

When we do that, THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WILL BLOW.

This is cheap blackmail against the masses. Has government taken the lead on that? Imagine if the president and his team, governors of the 36 states and the various teams, national & state house assembly members fully patronize locally made goods both in official capacity and personal level. We will have a strong Naira.

Where did she get these unproven statistics from? While a number of Nigerian women would have loved to leave their marriages but for societal pressure, a good number are happy staying in their marriages despite any challenges.

DaddyRochie1642:
See the man smiling and shining teeth like goat,

Which kind blackmailing be this,

I am seeing up to three children from what I'm seeing, how will a right thinking single man marry a single mother of three children, make that man no gree o.

U sabi wetin the woman give the man that twisted him brain?

Umahi missed it because of his over ambition. Senator Simon Lalong took the right decision.

CockPit:
That is why I would rather be a senator than a minister if I have to make the choice.

It seems true. 99% of these politicians are sinners. I think he should be left to continue the transformation in the ministry of interior despite his shortcomings.

Kobicove:
Her name was May Ellen-Ezekiel (MEE) she was never a TV presenter but a magazine journalist. She was a columnist with Quality magazine then eventually started her own magazine named Classique...you're welcome

She later presented an interactive TV show on friday nights. Not sure of the name of the program but I think its MEE & You.

He didn't even announce 7 days of mourning in the state with flags to fly at half-mast for his late boss.

After Christmas

seunmsg:
Personnel warrants for December salaries were raised yesterday. Everything should have been finalized today. If you have access to GIFMIS, you can go and confirm. Most workers will get their salaries by Tuesday and Wednesday.

Yes government workers have not been paid December salaries. Government has also refused to pay the N35,000 wage award.

Birdbyrde440:
But is it true that government workers have not been paid December salary?

That's a myopic reason. Some men used to be good cook before marriage. Pressure of career advancement and making money in order to take care of the family made them to forget the way to the kitchen. Getting a man that's a good cook has many advantages. When the wife is sick or overstressed or even out of town, the man can handle cooking without much stress. If your husband travels for a period and has to rely on other women to cook for him, your marriage may be threatened.

Odewaleadesoye:
Popular Nigerian chef Hilda Effiong Bassey, aka Hilda Baci, has said she can’t date or marry a man who knows how to cook.

She said she loves cooking, stressing that she doesn’t want a man who will outshine her in the kitchen.

The former Guinness World Record holder said her love language is a man ordering food for her.


Speaking in a viral podcast video making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), Baci said,

DAILY POST

why can't World Bank tell government to increase the minimum wage? Why is it that World Bank like inflicting pains on Nigerians? World bank asked them to remove fuel subsidy. They did. world Bank told them to devalue Naira. They did. Which kind World Bank be this?

santaclaws:
Wow, that's tragic. May God comfort his family.

Tragic at 80 years in Nigeria?

KnowAll:
There are about 10,000 wards in Nigeria. By having 2 representatives per ward that would give us a 20,000.00 capacity who would now vote who they want to be president electronically. That is by using their phones.

This would not only reduce the billions spent on present day INEC to bear insignificance. But would entrench a free fair election all over d country.

Supported. In addition, rotation of presidency across the 6 geopolitical zones should be enshrined in the constitution. Preference should be given to zones that have not produced president since 1999. It should also be a single term presidency of 5 years.

The trillions of Naira used to organise presidential elections since 1999 should have been used to bridge the infrastructural deficit. Nigerian elections as presently done can never produce the will of the people. So instead of wasting trillions on elections why not allow the foolish wise men to elect someone for us.

But politicians have decimated potentials of millions of Nigerians making difficult for them to realize much from their potentials.

True. But they earn far more than us so there's no need for comparison. It's only when you travel with Nigerian Naira based on Nigerian salary that you can make such comparisons.

What a loss!!!

I have tried to do the maths. Any thing above 5 million - 10 million on monthly feeding is outrageous. I know they eat during meetings and they also feed their security. But 233 million is too high for such.

By building universities he is creating more jobs.

More lecturers in various fields as well as non-academic staff like, engineers, administrators, accountants, auditors, ICT experts, medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technologists, security men, porters, drivers will be employed to run a standard university.

TheSuperX:
He should create more jobs instead, imagine building universities while graduates are still jobless for decades due to unemployment.

Ten Hag is the architect of his downfall. He sold too many players during the summer. All he needed to have done was to add 3-5 players to his squad to beef up his team. He shouldn't have let goalkeeper and Fred to leave. It was a huge mistake.

IT IS A LIE. There are millions that have not committed abortion. If she is a prostitute doesn't mean everyone else is one.

Why not send SMS or email to them after all you have the phone numbers and email addresses. After frustrating us for almost 1 year.

Things are not so expensive in Nigeria compared to other countries. The main problem is very poor salaries and weak currency. The politicians embezzle our money and pay us peanuts.

jaeyking:
With the kind hardship wey dey now
Abi
I no understand all these statistics

Looking at the trend
You will notice that richer countries with high human development index and GDP are the most expensive to live in

They get value for their money

I feel reverse is the case in Nigeria

GeneralPula:
The Op is a liar like Lamba Nanu:

George Udom

It’s more than that.

Kindly argue with facts. Majority of these people are not Igbos. Provide their states of Origin. Only illiterates call those who are neither hausas nor yorubas as igbos

If all the politicians and civil servants who have stolen the nation blind are brought to book, If the genuinely cut down the cost of governance, it will significantly close the so-called deficit.

Rossikk:
There’s a growing feeling on the African continent that the imported western systems of govt we operate, be it military regime, presidential system, parliamentary system, etc etc, are not working as well as they should.

We clearly need to devise a home grown system that protects us from corrupt leaders and foreign imperialists looking to exploit our resources.

SO FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST (AND EXPLAIN) YOUR NEW HOME GROWN AFRICAN SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT HERE.

Thanks.

Terrible reporting . Disciplinary committee cannot sack staff members. They can only recommend their sack.
