This guy is somewhat autistic IMO, and somewhat have mild intellectual deficiency as well. I know many can not tell by hearing him speak.

Oh, trichoepithelioma..... Edited

If Spain does not win within the extra time, it most likely will lose the penalty shoot out.

penalties usually favors the one on the backfoot.

Lagos that is predominantly surrounded by water does not appear to be this worse. Although it is unfair to compare Abia state to Lagos state. They are eons apart.

The Tax credit in road construction is simply govt not collecting the amount of tax MTN owes the govt directly, but asking them to pay it to the contractor.

If a man owes me money and i ask he use that debt he owes me to pay directly a car dealer i just financed a car with, then it means the debtor bought my car?. what a weak logic from a comment above.

walenden:
You are arguing against a point I did not make. I never said citizenship or homeownership should not be celebrated.
My point is simply that legal stability and property ownership are not the same as financial freedom. A passport provides security, and a house can build wealth, but a person can still be heavily indebted, unemployed, or under serious financial pressure despite being a citizen.
His story is clearly one of resilience and progress. However, he also admitted that expenses increased sharply and that his family faced intense financial strain. Acknowledging that does not diminish his achievements; it simply prevents progress from being confused with complete financial independence.

I bet someone like you said home ownership is not the way to financial freedom to someone who got a house of less than 500,000 in 2011 in Toronto and sold 1.2 million in 2021 to move to Calgary with enough money to buy a house fully paid.

Time and chance happen to us all. Let that sink in.

I see a lot of unintelligent takes by this professor.

Nigerians want to continue paying 3,000 naira monthly for university education ? Yet they want world class university education in those universities. In a country of 240 million, where half of the population is less than 18 years ? we are so confused.

I doubt any nanny will accept 10,000 naira remuneration monthly for a child to stay with a nanny in the nanny house for few hours in a day monthly.

I have given u google facts and no the army never swept through all of it not even a quater of it cos sambisa is a bigger than some states. Same army that couldnt find chibok girls for years?

The part infested by bokoharam like u went there to scan the part they were and were not.

The part of national park infested by 5 bandits is not up to a secondary skol compound. No IED and special trucks or wepons and it took the hopless government 2months and 3 deaths from the hostages.

I did not give you google fact, i gave you a reliable Nigerian dailynews fact, but you went to wikipedia where any nonentity can type exactly "60,000sq km for Sambisa and claim it as fact. The whole of Nigeria is less than 1million sq. km in area. Even in what i posted, it mentioned about ridiculous claims of sambisa forest size bandied around.

518 square Km is about 51,000 hectares of land, and that is about the size of sambisa that BH infested.

it is obvious you have no idea how large over 2,500sq km is, based on your call of Oyo national park a secondary school compound.

Let's get into what you're saying. Nigeria oil production has dwindled .... a lot. The FG is saying it is at a six year high. What information lead you to make such a statement? .. or did you pull it out of the air?
The minimum wage 6 years ago was N30K ... which was equivalent to $70. The minimum wage today is N70K which is equivalent to $50. (I'm quoting US dollars because we're talking oil and oil is sold in US dollars.) Oil 6byears ago was $42 per barrel ... today it's $80 ... dropped from over $100.

Oil production is higher .. income from oil has almost doubled... shouldn't we be having wayyyy more money to offset expenses and fund development? Labour cost is lower ... instead of paying $70 minimum wage the FG is paying $50. Six years ago the FG was also paying fuel subsidy... that's taken off ... more money to the FG. You tell me what was the cost of 1Km if road then .. and what it is now ... then say how many Km of road they have built ... and we'll see how much it cancelled out from oil income.

And we wonder why we can't progress ... why we're having blatant self serving governments and a population sinking deeper into poverty.

It is common knowledge production was about 2.4million bpd at some point in 2013 , and we are now 1.7 million bpd, highest in 6 years. so if you lose about 50% of your peak production, meanwhile cost of oil production has not stayed static nor the population of the country. What do you expect? You write about a minimum wage that was not enforced in many states at 30,000 naira since they could not afford to pay? Or the dollar conversion for minimum wage in Nigeria that a basic workers could not get access to at official rate? That minimum wage and logic in your conversion from naira to usd is seriously deficient. i gave you a simple assignment to tell us what was cost of construction of 1km of road within the period? More food for thought for you:

what was the annual budget in those years versus the last 2 years?
What was the level of debt servicing within those period?
what was the average km of road constructed annually within that period?
what was the quality and quantity of construction within that period?
what was the average annual oil subsidy removal savings compared to increase in expenses/budget post subsidy?
What was the quality of social intervention programmes then versus last 3 years?
How come ASUU has been largely pacified in the last 3 years with no strike versus then?.

Is hypothetically your grudging way of saying you are a propagandist liar?

Meanwhile you are yet to provide evidence of your 800,000 bpd revised statement. Until you do that, why should we believe you

It is not a revised statement, i think it is a comprehension issue for you. because when i got specific in 2016, i mentioned a "sharp drop in crude oil production"

Two things are working against Atiku in the North this time around, and one thing is working for him in the core North. It is still 6 months to election and a lot may still change.

1. He no longer has the umbrella safety of PDP as a brand party 2. he does not have the governors and moneybags to finance and monitor the elections anylonger.

What he has now is the Core Northerner sentiment of wanting to be back in power once a southerner is there and he has the biggest northern face.

In all of these, he will be lucky as of today to retain the 2023 percentages from the north outside PDP.

Six year high production ... sixyear high price ... what is there to show for it? ... still borrowing... Dangote importing. The more you look the less you see.

How much was minimum wage 6 years ago? what was the cost of building 1 km of road then? Many still fail to realise Nigerias oil income has dwindled a lot , while projected expenses is now at least 5 times more. That money will not be simply printed.

anonimi:
Stop telling lies.

Oil production never fell to 500,000 bpd.

What is your source for this claim when APC’s strongman, General Buhari, their change messiah was in office

It fell to 20-30 year low , even about 800,000bpd when "avengers" were blowing up pipelines in SS sometime in 2016. the 500,000 bpd number is only an hypothetical number obviously to the folk who says he is not benefiting from the oil, that way (s)he will realise quickly how everyone is indirectly benefitting if not directly.

Lmao Have u been to borno state? Or have u been to sambisa? Its clear u have no idea what ure talking about so i will use google to teach u.

The sizes can easily be gotten from google to we dont speculate from our bias minds and emotions.

Old oyo national park is about 2500 kms²
Sambisa forest is 60,000 km²

They are not even close to mates. Do u know what it means for bokoharam to have their stronghold in sambisa?

There is no camparison here isln either size of place and capabilities of the groups involved btwn chibok and ibadan kidnapping.

I am glad you have stopped mentioning Ibadan forest. Sambisa forest in Borno, Nigeria used by BH is only 518sq. km. In actual fact, The military once swept through it all during Buhari's tenure with claims of victory.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/04/safe-sambisa-forest-now/.

Read the link i sent you instead of using wikipedia. The area infested by BH is within the 518 sq km.

Gotocourt:
Over 20K

Oya go park for front

still terrible calculation, as over 60 million naira is what you equate as ALMOST 1 billion.

Gotocourt:
Pay ₦3000.00 into Taraba State Civil Service Commission bank account.


Omorr na wa ooooooo . Sharp cashout, over 20K will pay for this form . Almost a billion for treasury bandits .

3,000 * 20,000 =almost 1 billion in "Gotocourtcalculator"

goodman55:
You see we are not doubting you guys reports on whether it rose or not but is it on paper work or in actual sense i.e in reality bcus we are good on paper but reality it's zero. Economy is improving in Nigeria on paper but in reality, average Nigerians is not seeing it; it's not reflecting in their lives. Okay with this crude oil rise in production as you guys have said which we the Nigerians are not seeing it; we are not enjoying it; it's not felt in our lives so how on earth shall we believe you guys reports? We have irresponsible government who are not responsible to giving Nigerians what they have been doing with the huge sum of borrowed money. This government of Tinubu has the highest number of Ministers but a very few are making impact less that 40% of the minister.

You will feel it when crude oil production is 500,000 barrels /day and Nigerian states cant pay salary. It once happened in 2016 when Nigerias crude oil production fell sharply, as the terrorist group "avengers" where on pipeline destruction spree and state allocation dropped and many states could not pay salaries.

ceejayluv:
BAT has ruled half the Time period. he practically beat his own record.

How this deliberate twisting is relevant in your mind puzzles me. The report is simply saying that the highest production since sometime in 2020 is now achieved.

Hopefully we push it to 2.5 million bpd in less than 2 years. it is moving slowly, but i understand it takes time. Many of the new wells wont start daily production till next year.

jaxxy:
I didnt downplay it i said he shouldnt compare it to bokoharam chibok kidnapping in sambisa. They are not mates. Sambisa alone is almost half of lagos state. Then u talk about bokoharam stronghold and armies.

How can u compare that to 5 bandits in ibadan forest?

you are not reading, are you ? It is NOT IBADAN FOREST . the old oyo national park is not in Ibadan. Old oyo national park is 5 times bigger than Sambisa forest and bigger than most states. The kids were hidden in that parK. comprehende? i have been to some part of the park, in actual fact i spent 2 days there as they have a lodge for visitors.

I see a lot of fallacy with people establishing imagination as fact, and argue on that basis.

Makes no economic sense to set up another airport, irrespective of immediate reasons, i suspect runway size issues impacting type of airplanes that can land in current one. It is not necessary as it is very capital intensive. The state should focus on income generation. There is a level of financial sustainability a state gets to , it can afford to start some type of projects. I am disappointed with the Prof.

U

jaxxy:
U are no idea what ure talking about. Bokoharam was in full operations b4 chibok, they had even bombed abuja and had claimed territory so No they were not in baby stage.

My point remains valid u cant compare chibok with the ibadan kidnapping that took the hopless government 2months to respond.

Jonathan atleast didnt believe kidnapping such number of people was posible so was in disbelief but tinubu knows very well what bandits have been doing and has done nothing. Same incompetence if not worse but u want us to clap for them? Lol

ibadan kidnapping? You downplay what you dont even know where it happened?

The forest is over 2 hours drive away from iBadan, i have been to the park on a consevation tour in 2013. The size of the old oyo national park is bigger than some states in Nigeria.

The airport is undergoing a total overhaul never seen since it was built, a cctv, is not all in all and an improvement can be canvassed devoid of using it for political defence.

Has the individual involved denied it is not him?

Having a Phd , but lacking logical sense put a dent on your degree.

If the coastal road was made to go through EIA and what not, it will still be on paper by now, and billions spent on "Design". Court cases and noise will have bogged the project. That is the death of most large scale turnaround projects in Nigeria.

Shortsighted people can not see what turnaround the project will have along that corridor and and evil politicians deliberately misleading "olodo uprising "crusaders. Many investment will sprout along that axis and it is surely a victory. Even hundreds of thousands of many landowners in close range to project will be made multi millionaires. There is a reason why Lagos-Ibadan expressway boast of many companies and factories till today.

Starting in 2024 with over 100 km completed and ongoing in 2 years is a masterstroke.

Kushites:
When he does that and loses you will still blame him for not going for the kill instead of just sitting back.

not with a 2 goal lead and less than 15 minutes. You ask players to purposely slow and frustrate the game. A foul on any egyptian player should take 1 minute and an overreaction. A team down with 2 goals with 15 minutes left and the superior side in quality of play will be on a dangerous edge and you make it worse for them and they may get a red card.

I am tipping Colombia to surprising reach the final of this world cup.

If the victim was able to snatch the knife and lodge it deeply and firmly in her abdomen or her heart in self defense it would have been easy case for any lawyer. The victim will be released in days.

Absolutely, a serious revenue problem.

The average corrupt Nigerian is only screaming debt and loan because they feel they can not benefit from the corruption.

A village chief cornering half bag of rice out of 1 full bag of rice meant to feed 20,000 community members. The village chief are the politicians and top civil servants. 20,000 comm. Members are the rest of Nigerians

We all know no how 1 bag of rice can conveniently feed 20,000 people.

Newsmills:
MTN tax is what is doing the work

I thought MTN tax belongs to FG. no? it is only a dedicated funding initiative to guarantee funding to this type of project. Instead of government receiving the tax, MTN pays it directly to govt. contractor.
