oloriooko: I didn't read this but i know Falana will always yearn rubbish, he's always backing the wrong horse, the same way he did in occupy nigeria so schools are run with stones and sand abi with skyrocketing prices left right center stoopid man, gerrarahia mehn!
It's in the blood of you guys to be hypocritical and to defend nonsense.
nairalanda1: Anyone who thinks that fuel will drop just because we have domestic refining...should remember that transport cost, refining cost, taxes, and workers salaries are part of the price you pay for petrol
And government cannot afford subsidy, althrough they want to keep paying it...folly indeed.
But the thing is, there is no way dangote is going to pay maintenance costs, taxes, refining costs, upgrade cost, and workers salaries at international level on just N100 per liter.
You keep changing like a chameleon Weren't you part of those who tried to convince Nigerians that Dangote's refinery and/or competitions would bring down the price of petrol following the subsidy removal, while we kept reminding you Nigeria's economy doesn't obey standard economic principles? You guys are not only hypocritical, but ignorant. Nigerians are already suffering for nothing more than 1yr after the unfortunate and ill-advised removal of the subsidy and the blood of the dead will be on you guys' heads.
madridguy: No country come close to Nigeria in generosity.
It's about Nigerians, not Nigeria/Nigerian government. Nigerians help themselves because there's no government there that cares about the people. You're always looking for an opportunity to give undeserved credit to the clueless ethnoreligious bigots and jihadists you've be voting for since 2015.
Tinubu's government charge protesters to court for treason.....
If that old bastard is arrogantly and meanly treating Nigerians like this in his first tenure, then, one wonders what he would do if given the opportunity to go for a 2nd tenure.
Nigerians should do everything possible to stop him.
prof22: Do you know the number of people wrongfully jailed for years in those saner climes? Most of you are just kids with beards. Abroad is not heaven, your view about that side is not what it is...they just dont use their press to show these things.
Mumu, nobody is imprisoned without conviction abroad, compared to the rubbish your useless government and security agents do in Nigeria.
If your are quick to arrest people on useless, trumped up charges, you should be able to convict them; otherwise you should be sensible and humble enough to allow them go.
Goat, you must be a southwesterner; very cunning and hypocritical people who shy away from the problems they contributed to and try to divert attention to innocent people
LifestyleTonite: The police high command, on Monday, declared Andrew Wynne (also known as Andrew Povich or Drew Povey), a British national, wanted for allegedly plotting to overthrow the government being led by President Bola Tinubu.
It said the Force has specifically launched a comprehensive investigation on how foreign mercenaries and those it described as subversive elements plotted to overthrow the democratically-elected government of Nigeria.
The spokesman of the force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who disclosed this at Force Headquarters, Abuja said the British rented a space at Labour House, Abuja, for an ‘Iva Valley Bookshop’ and established ‘STARS of Nations Schools’ as a cover for his subversive activities.
Adejobi, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, told journalists that documentary evidence and confessions revealed that Andrew Wynne issued directives and monitored progress of the August protest.
The senior police officer added that the foreigner provided finance and operational guidance to achieve unconstitutional regime change in Nigeria.
He said, “The Nigeria Police Force has launched a comprehensive investigation into the activities of a foreign national and subversive elements plotting to undermine the democratically elected government in Nigeria through unconstitutional regime change and orchestrating violence across the country.
“Following extensive intelligence gathering and collaboration with other security agencies, nine suspects have been apprehended, who received substantial financial backing from foreign sources to destabilize the country.
“Preliminary findings suggest they orchestrated and funded violent protests, disseminated false information, and engaged in other unlawful activities to create anarchy and justify their illegal plot to overthrow the democratically elected government.”
The development comes after the Department of State Services (DSS) arrested some poles in Kano during the protest.
Polish authorities had said their citizens had nothing to do with the Nigerian protest where flags were waved and were in Kano for an exchange course at Bayero University, Kano.
However, they were released after weeks in detention.
The police had also invited Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), over British National, who is a tenant at Labour House, Abuja.
Although, Ajaero honoured the invitation last week, the police reinvited him.
These clueless southwestern power mongers will cause a very big problem for this country both locally and internationally What's exactly their problem? It's unfortunate that power mistakenly entered into the hands of the worst set of humans from that region.
IyaTola: You gan na poverty gan gan, high paying job is relative as someone I know says anything else than 800k, his not interested and he got the job for 850,000 he would resume on Monday, his skill are in demand in Nigeria.
What skill is that exactly? I have friends and relatives in Nigeria that need jobs or new skills to learn
helinues: So is the house now an asset or a liability?
My aged parents are enjoying it. Don't overthink or over analyse these things. Every normal person gets both assets and liabilities Just try to have more of the former, and not focus o completely avoiding the later.
1. Not running an actively exporting economy that exports manufactured gooods and services...instead being so fixated on oil, that we have a very weak economy.
All NIgerian leaders (yes including GEJ, Buhari and tinubu...take that!) have been bad leaders largely because the economic policy is based essentially on the price of whatever resource we sell. This leaves us prone to debt and inflation and a very very weak naira...with the result that we have high prices of meters.
Lack of a decent industrial sector means even local industries have to import spares from outside the country. Here we are.
2. Meter workers too have to eat. Many meters are made here, and the workers too are subject to the issues in the economy. As a result....prices go up so that the meter workers who make your meters have to eat.
It would be silly really to sell meters for N20000 and expect people to make a living from the losses resulting therein
3. Frankly speaking...expecting government to subsidise everything on a budget of just 18 billion dollars....yes, you heard me right....is basically asking for more and more debt.
I mean, many countries have far far more cash than we do, but don't do subsides for everything...or try to do subsides for everything...like we do. They would be broke in no time
Even this meter thing...it is obvious that if government tried to subsidise it down to N20000 ......it would make them go broke.
That is why any decent government for Nigeria would not do what this APC government is doing...they would embark on a programme that would lead us to....manufactured goods and services, and a decent tax to gdp ratio.
Same silly excuses and defense lines all the time.
Ikemba007: This is not even the issue. The real issue is why the stupid guys are not talking about the insecurity in the North, but only appointment of elite northerners.
If you're Igbo and you're not complaining about T!efnubu's marginalisation of the Igbos in all his appointments so far, but focusing on the north which knows its right with regard to the federal character system, then you're a big goat.
We should be focusing on our own complaints and not attacking those who manage to complain.
What T!efnubu is doing should be unacceptable by any region in Nigeria.
Featuredgist: APC is determined to capture most of the South-East states to end the Igbo Marginalization - Ganduje The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, on Thursday, said the perceived marginalisation of the Igbo could be blamed on the fact that the five South-East states are governed by different political parties, rather than one.
Therefore, he said the ruling APC was determined to capture most of the South-East states, starting with Anambra, which is governed by the All Progressive Grand Alliance. “The North, South-East political zones are all claiming that they have been marginalised. The South-East geopolitical zone is saying the same thing. But what we are telling them is that the marginalisation has been created by them.
How can you have five states ruled by four political parties? What will be your political bargain?” Ganduje queried. He said the APC was working very hard to ensure that it spread its tentacles beyond Imo and Ebonyi states, by winning more of the South-East states. “Next year, there will be Anambra, which has been a state governed by APGA for many years, but we have introduced a new scheme. We want to start with Anambra. Already, we have Ebonyi and Imo. Now, we are encroaching into that zone to ensure that we capture most of the states. And if we get what we want, we capture all the states,” Ganduje said.
Anither563: The Yoruba Muslim is a good person who helps others without looking at their religion or tribe. He is generous, kind and compassionate.
In your dreamland, right?? Yoruba muslims are the architects of tribalism, ethnreligious hatred and bigotry in the SW. They initiated and drive ethnoreligious hatred and animosity the ignorant Christians amongst them eventually bought into.
