But what's actually the idea behind labelling all mechanics "Kazeem"?

Seen that nonsense a couple of times on this nairaland and I never got around to understanding it.

What does 'Kazeem' mean, actually?

Ebubu7:
Anuofia. Do you people not make fun of ridiculing and insulting Sbonti state in Onitsha, NNnewi and Anambra en large? Do you people claim they are non-Igbos, wretched, poor, ugly looking and have funny dialect? Some landlords don’t want to give Ebonyi person property to rent simply because he’s from Ebonyi. Your daughters are barred from marrying Ebonyi man and you all ridicule them.

Your people open campaigns to ridicule and mock Ebonyi airport calling it abandoned amusement park, something Yoruba people and Hausa are asking you people to stop.

Now you won’t warn your brothers against such anti-brother activity but you warn me for returning the gesture and ridiculing Anambra on a public forum.

Tit meets tat.

Tell your Anambra brothers to stop insulting Ebonyi state otherwise the division between us will be opened for the world to see.

I'm from Imo, not Anambra. I can't continue arguing with a shameless, unrepentant fool.

You can open another thread and continue on your shameless path, but know that your main enemies know you as an Igboman, not as an Ebonyi man.
This is one important thing brainless people like you don't know.

Ebubu7:
Anuofia
Go and talk to your unknown gun men anambra fool that insulted Ebonyi state first. You people should avoid insulting Ebonyi state in this world, otherwise you’ll be met with brute force.

Shameless idiot, do you the people clapping for you? Yorubas and Fulanis!

The same people who hate you for being an Igboman, irrespective of the state you come from.

Try and receive some sense before you die.

No Igbo person comes here on a yoruba dominated forum to insult Ebonyi state.
The people doing it are the same yoruba and Fulani boys that are clapping for you for calling Anambra a terror state, but you're too senseless to know that.

jumper524:
Professional bodies too were subsidised?

My God, I know the govt is corrupt but if they did subsidised this much, them the govt would bleed.
The president should cut off all form of subsidies apart from education and start investing on new ideas.

If you don't understand the professional bodies they're referring to, you ask questions.

The professional bodies and councils are government agencies, and you can't call the budgetary allocations that go to them 'subsidies'.
It's the duty of the government to fund them.

They're different from the professional associations you ignorant folks have in mind.

Ebubu7:
mumu come to Ebonyi State University see where sons and daughters of Ebonyi teach and learn professional courses.


We have passed your level in Anambra where professional agberos and UGM hold sway.

Keep closing shops by 6pm out of fear in Anambra na una sabi.


Terrorised state. Brother in arms to Borno state.

If your are Igbo, you're a shameless fool!

The most backward region in Nigeria. Something done since 30 years ago.

Foolish pig, how is the Igbo region the most backward region in Nigeria What are your parameters??
Some of you useless bigots will just manage to get a little data and then jump onto nairaland to type rubbish

sonnie10:
It makes no difference. Then if you send $100 , the receivers gets it and changes at abk for 7300 (naira) . Now if you send the same amount, the receiver goes to the bank or abk and gets 7500 (naira).
So it makes no difference.

How did you arrive at this?
It's not true

See how it works:
There's 5 naira incentive for every $1 you send to Nigeria. So, if you send $5000, your relative in Nigeria withdraws the $5000 from the bank, gets a total incentive of 5x5000 =25,000naira.

He then proceeds to the black market to sell the $5000 at the prevailing rate which hasn't been lower than 750, except in early 2021.

As a result of this free 25k he receives, he encourages you to send more and you comply, just to ensure he gets more free money and stop disturbing you/stealing from your project money.


This is what i and many others have been doing since February 2021 when the policy was initiated, and i'm very sure it helped to increase the inflow into the country significantly.

House of Reps Speaker, Hon TJ Yusuf on Monday visited former president Muhammadu Buhari in London.

How many of you miss Buhari? Baba Go Slow

News about this hateful jihadist who destroyed Nigeria shouldn't be brought to the FB.

Many of us don't like seeing his face.

I have the fundamental right to hate him and not to see his face, and i want that right respected.
Everyone should take note of this.

sonnie10:
If the receiver would get the money at the same amount they got before the policy change, I don’t see why diasporas wouldn’t want to send.

The policy was encouraging many people to send more dollars back home so their relatives could get higher incentives.

I and my colleagues have been sending dollars every month to Nigeria since 2021 when it was put in place till this June, even when it wasn't necessary.

I don't think any of us will be doing that again, except for emergencies, which don't happen every month.

baralatie:
If you don't have dollars .is that not shortage of supply?
If you have limited supply against unrestricted demand ,what will happen?
So I am asking you again.how is the floating of the dollars not working?

Floating is not working because it has failed to crash the rate as the idiots who implemented ignorantly expected.

Floating shouldn't be there in the first place.

The right policies should be those that will help increase the supply and not those that will float it and allow the already high forces of demand to destroy it.

randymirrors:
Says who? Not kidnap for ransom as it is now but kidnapping existed. Matter of fact, I used to have nightmares of kidnap simply because I knew it existed. They used to call them "gbomo gbomo" then.

What existed then in the late 80s and 90s were "head hunters", not actually kidnappers.
That was made more popular by nollywood films

sonnie10:
You don’t increase production
Your don’t increase export
Your don’t increase direct foreign investments
You still have insecurity
Oil price continues to fall
Corruption is at the highest level
Import is at highest level
You continue to borrow heavily and pay heavily on interest from your oil revenue

Yet you expect dollars to be abundant.
Ignoring basic economics of supply and demand

No amount of wishes will do it. The worst is dollar is not even controlled by CBN. Propaganda policies won’t cut it.

Fix the rot from the root.

The drunkard even stopped the naira4dollar policy that was encouraging the diasporians to send dollars to Nigeria every month and helped to increase the supply.

nairalanda1:
Yes, we are still not earning enough forex.

Lipstick on a pig...

I thought you supported the floating too?

Just like the subsidy removal, this is another crazy and ill-advised policy inplemented by a man who knows absolutely nothing about the most basic of the economic principles.

Market forces should never be allowed to determine the value of a currency in an economy that has perpetually been plagued by dollar scarcity from poor forex earnings and excessive demands.

baralatie:
How is it not working?
If you do not have dollars,how do you intend to sell?
If you don't export to earn dollars .then how to get dollars for your imports?

You're just confusing yourself.

It's not working and will never work because of your 2nd and 3rd sentences.

How can you float it when the main problem is scarcity and still expect the floating to work?

Bodeem:
I remember running home after 3 o'clock closing hour so as not to miss my favorite cartoons on TV

There was nothing like satellite TV which meant we watched more contents on local TV. You go to school the following day to gist with friends about the episodes.

Christmas was much fun, we visited friends and families on Christmas day and eat to your satisfaction

There was nothing like phone so whenever my dad goes to work , I stay outside all night till he comes back. Make I no lie anytime its getting so late around 10pm and he's not back I start thinking of bad things like he was kidnapped or had an accident. The more it gets late, the more i get worried and when i finally see his peageot 504 headlamp shining from afar, there js this relief thay engolfs me instantly.. May his gentle soul rest in peace, he passed on last year.

Teachers and parents beat the hell out of you, they were more ruthless than what we have now.

Our soldiers (army) back then used to be very skinny infact na khaki dey wear them no be them dey wear khaki but the fear they commanded back then is far more than what we have today.

Oh did I forget Mr biggs toilets? When you enter Mr biggs toilet, you find phone numbers painted on the wall. They obviously belong to people looking for love.

The word ''kidnapped'' wasn't existing in Nigeria in the '80s and early '90s.

Hope you're not a millennium kid trying to ginger us?

nairalanda1:
That is irrelevant to subsidy sustainability

This shows you don't know what you've been supporting all along.

The actual amount may be quite affordable and sustainable.

No more fuel scarcity is a win
No more subsidisibg west Africa and lodging dollars is a win



you go for stand if revolt start
Ordinary end sars you were all crying like bitchesss

Your stand is neither here nor there.

You support subsidy removal but don't trust the government that'll be in charge of the 'saved' funds.

Hope you're not confused? Be courageous enough to stand one place.

nairalanda1:
Even then, we cannot live in fantasies when it comes to economics.

Yes, we're talking about economics here, and it deals with figures.

What's the exact volume of petrol consumed per month in Nigeria, to guide informed decisions?

If we are really taking economics seriously, any reasonable decision maker will have this figure before proceeding.

nairalanda1:
Whatever your ideas are about me or my motives or my sources of income, and I don't even work for the government or the APC or any party , subsidies are not sustainable right now.

You can change the narrative by writing to your senator and getting him to reinstate subsidies on petrol. And there would be nothing I can do about it.

Again, whatever you think of me, or imagine me to be,subsidies are not sustainable.

Just like every other brainwashed supporter out there, your focus remains only on the subsidy payment not being sustainable.

Have you or your government cared to find out the actual quantity of petrol consumed by Nigerians per month and the exact amount of subsidy that would go with it?

How much of that ''unsustainable" bills does corruption account for?
Do you know? Did your government try to find out?

How do you trust a government that couldn't confront the subsidy manipulators to be able to face the new set of criminals that'll embezzle the 'saved' subsidy funds?

I hope you know June's funds(that run into billions) have already been 'saved' as subsidy wasn't paid?

Have you cared to know how they've been utilized or what they'll be used for?
Do you know if the funds have already been shared by the crooks??

It is obvious that Nigerians are going to suffer in vain.

I pray you guys will push them so hard that they'll have no other option than to revolt and set all of you crooks ablaze.

FreeStuffsNG:
Not surprised, subsidy on electricity is gone too.

Now it's free market capitalism that punish the lazy and idle more severely.
It will soon reach the politicians who live on a fake life of free money.

All their accounts are now flagged on surveillance by CBN, NFIU and EFCC. Social media addiction that kills productivity and fuel wastage of scarce resources can now go down too. Nigeria is on the forward March with Asiwaju Tinubu.
God bless Nigeria for ever!
Check my signature for free stuffs!

I hope you know 1 month subsidy funds that run into billions have been saved for the this month(June)??

Have you cared to track the fund and enquire about how it has been utilized or how it will be used??

Let know now how the 'saved' June funds have been used so far

It is one thing to promise, albeit deceive, Nigerians that the saved funds will be properly invested and another thing to ensure they're properly invested.

Remember we'll personally hold you and your fellow misguided bigots who supported/preached subsidy removal accountable if Nigerians suffer in vain at the end of the day.

MessiahOfAfrica:
Very Recently - Just Last Week (On June, 13 2023); I Lost My First UNBORN CHILD To The Cold Hands of DEATH Because of The GREEDY, VILE and EVIL Nature of Some Certain Nurses in The General Hospital of UGEP, Cross-River State.


We got to The General Hospital at Past 1:00 AM - However; Despite Depositing The Sum of 53,500 Naira which was Part of The CS Operation Request of The Nurses on Duty on This Particular Day (June 13, 2023) - These VILE And EVIL Nurses Delayed in Calling The Medical Doctor on Duty To Be TIMELY in Getting My Wife Operated Upon. They Started Making Attempt To Call Up On The Medical Doctor Who SHOULD Be Responsible for Operating on My Wife Exactly 2 Hours After I Had Agreed To Make Payment.



"...Okay, I'm ready to make ALL OF THE NECESSARY PAYMENTS. Can I Get An Account Number To Make Payment into ?"



None of Them wanted to receive the part-payment of The CS Operation into Their Personal Bank Account Number Despite The Fact That They Claimed That There was No Bank Account For The General Hospital, UGEP.




They Told Me to go withdraw the money from A POS Operator at Past 1:00 AM.


As at The Time That We Got Her To The Hospital; She Had Fainted because She Had Already Lost Alot of Blood Due To The Fracture of The Placenta in Her Womb which had happened around 7:00 PM The Night Before.


However;

These Certain Set of Nurses Decided Not To Even HELP Provide My Wife with A QUICK AND ORDINARY FIRST AID Service To Fully Bring Her Back To LIFE.

They Delayed Until 1 Hour Before Providing My Wife with Any FIRST AID Service from The Facility of The General Hospital, UGEP.


They Continued with Their Sluggishness as They Made It Compulsory That I Provided Them with The Registration Card of The Hospital.

Despite Providing Them with This Registration Card; They Decided That I Go Ahead to Look For A POS To withdraw money before they could attend to my Dying Wife.


IF NOT For The Maternity Nurse That Followed Us To The General Hospital, and The Doctor That Was DETERMINED To Operate Quickly on My Wife on That Day;


By Now; Maybe - My Wife would have died.

But LIFE Gave Her ANOTHER CHANCE.





You See;



I've Started The "OUR UNBORN CHILDREN" Cookhathon Initiative (OUCCI) To Expose The Atrocities And CARELESSNESS of Many Nurses of The General Hospitals Prolonging The POVERTY of POOR HEALTHCARE Across Nigeria.





To Cut The Long Story - "Short";



My Wife Got Operated Upon 3 Hours After Her Arrival to The Hospital.


At This Time; Our Unborn Baby Had already Suffocated in The Pool of Blood Gushing Out From The Ruptured Placenta.



All Thanks To The HOSTILE, VILE And EVIL Nurses on SHIFT of The Night (June 13, 2023).





You All Needed To See How They Treated Myself, My Father-in-law, My Mother-in-law and My Wife That Very Day.



They Treated Us like We were HELPLESS HUMANS.



It was a very BIG PITY For Nigerian Women and Nurses!





We Lost Our Baby,

However; We will Do our BEST To Ensure That This Information Gets To The President of Nigeria - HIS EXCELLENCY. BOLA AHMED TINUBU (BAT) So That There Would be A FAST AND QUICK (FAQ) Necessary And Positive REFORM of All of The General Hospitals in Nigeria So That Other Parents of Nigeria will Not Continue To Loose Their Children To The VILE And EVIL Hands of Some Nurses and Medical Doctors in Nigeria.

I sympathize with you over your loss, and I condemn the unprofessional actions of the Nurses at the General hospital, but I still find it unacceptable that you failed to recognize and highlight your own contribution to the whole issue.

Why did you choose to allow your wife deliver in a roadside maternity being manned by quacks, only to remember the general hospital at that critical hour?

How long was your wife in labour at that maternity? I believe she had a prolonged obstructed labour.

You noted she had lost so much blood before getting to the General hospital.

That's most probably from a ruptured uterus(womb) as a result of your wife being pumped with Oxytocin(aka hot drip) and urged to continuously push on the background of an obstructed labour.

Obstructed labour, prolonged labour, ruptured uterus and other causes of bleeding during labour(placenta previa, placenta abruptio, etc) are big risks to a baby's life and your regular maternity operators do not have the trainings, skills and experience to detect any of these early and make prompt referrals.

From the information you provided here, your baby most probably died at the maternity centre, and it'll be very unfair to lay all your blames at the feet of the Nurses at the General hospital.

I speak from my experiences in the early stages of my career while in Nigeria.

The health indices from Nigeria are very poor, but most of us, other than the health workers, contribute to those poor indices through our bad decisions.
I believe that, going forward, you'll be in a better position to make a better decision for your wife/relatives.
I sympathize with you, once again.

nairalanda1:
It does not matter what other countries do.

First do we earn the same amount in revenue from taxes as the USA does? We don't

Do we run a diversified economy as the US does? No.

Is our agriculture industrialised as the USA is? No.

Does the USA force their petroleum sector to sell at prices below production and transport costs? No.

We can live on the fantasy that we have the US level resources, or we can face the fact that we are broke thanks to years of mismanagement and overreliance on oil, that 40 plus years of subsidies has not improved our economy and that keeping fuel subsidised iswrecking our economy and driving up debt.

I want subsidies, but economies don't run on fantasies.

And no, I don't support the APC government and I don't think they can run this economy well, but right now subsidies are not sustainable.

We are not America.

I wonder how much they paid you to keep pushing out this nonsensical narrative

FeelGoodAlways:
I understand we are all together for the challenge before us regarding subsidy removal and the economic consequences but how are we being helpful to those we can?

Where I went to buy Akara this morning, one elderly woman met me there and begged for N50 to buy salt. I wanted to buy Akara for N200 but I had to buy for N100 and handed over the remaining N100 for her.

Of course, it's not an entitlement. Any body who feels entitled to your money is not wise.

We all need each other. #Truth

Else, no need crying or typing RIP if someone dies.

Let me spread it on how you can do.

There are many ways to help people at this challenging economic times such as handing over small cash to someone for transport to work/school, lifting someone with your ride, help for health/medical need, handing over "small thing" for the day/week(end), buying someone breakfast, lunch or dinner, airtime/data, cups of rice, beans, Garri, Maggi, paying for someone barbing/hairdo, and so on and so forth.

Be of help to someone next to you.

Meanwhile, the inconsiderate and callous drug man who put Nigerians in this dire condition is still moving around bragging how he told his associates that subsidy was gone and they thought he was joking.

May God help Nigerians
