KingOfAllIgbos:
Akpabio sounds like a fool a lot of times

Akpabio has actually proven right my agelong conviction that most men from akwa ibom are fools and speak foolishly.

Dennisochampa:
.... Oh I will compare the both of them because as bad as tinubu was.... He left a better Lagos than obi left anambra.....
As for the crime issue.... If you were in tinubu shoes... Please tell me what you will do??
Take up arms and go and fight boko haram yourself?
These fvckers hide among civilians...
They come out, strike and go back among civilians....
The government forces are doing the best they can and the same people who are crying for them to be caught are those who will claim the soldiers have killed innocent people when soldiers to all out to fish out the Boko haram suspects....
Was there no attacks on civilians by armed groups during obi tenure?? Did he catch the culprits till date? Or u want us to start digging??

Someone is trying to correct your foolishness , you are still grandstanding in folly and ignorance. Is Obi the one in government as president? Why bring him into the conversation when clearly the one in government has failed in his first responsibility as president ,which is to protect life and property.
But because your brain is full of sentiment and tribalism, you found a way to bring obi in and trying to justify the government's failure in his sworn responsibility to the people. You are even justifying terrorism by bringing in crime done in other countries in order to sound correct.
All of you that are not holding the government accountable with your blind followership and tribalism, may poverty and terrorism visit your home. You will all die a miserable death. E ma she ofo daanu ni.

Omookunnimi:
People will just be casting aspersion on the judiciary and judges. They will never blame the politicians that made and committed grave electoral fruad.
What hinder PDP for instance to obey simple court order before fielding candidates for general election I. Plateau? Meaning they haven't learn from APC mistakes in Zamfara state.

What prevent NNPP to do the right thing before the election. How come it's only it's candidate votes that some of the ballots paper were not sign?

For you that insulted INEC, they planned and do everything for election to be conducted free and fair, but the politicians ambushed them and frusted their efforts.

Insulting judges should stop forwith. If the politicians conduct themselves peacefully and obey the rule of the election, there will be not need for them to seek redress in the law court. Also as a politicians insulting judges, why result to insult when in the first place you trusted them that was why you go to their court. Why can't you accept your defeat and prepare for the next election if you don't have hope of getting justice? You took your case to them as you have lost in the pool and you lost again in the court, the next thing is insult and ridiculed of the judges and justices of the court. I think there should be a heavy fine for any institutions and politicians as well as any individual painting our judiciary in a bad light. Enough is enough.

Your judiciary is a fraud and I say it with my full chest come and fine me.
The same judiciary that ruled akpabio and lawan can contest after nomination for president is a pre election matter is the same one that wants to remove abba Yusuf for pre election matter.
Infact, they are not just frauds but armed robbers dressed in robes.
We will initiate a revolution soon when we can't take it no more and they all will pay dearly for where they have taken this country to.

Dennisochampa:
....
I weep for u if you think I'm trabalistic all because I don't support hoebi or atiku...
For your info.... I am not Yoruba, I'm not hausa or fulani.... I am definitely not Igbo...
I asked a simple question that you have failed to answer with reasonable facts....
Who would have been in a better position to rule 9ja.....
Who would have been able to magically transform 9ja to become like London over night....
Mention the person's name and the methods he would use that will appeal to Nigerians!!!

I will not dignify your open display of folly with a direct response.
If in a country of over 200m people that has produced Yemi Badenoch,Achebe, Adesina, David Borha, Okonjo iweala, Zainab Muhammed etc. Tinubu is the only one you can see to take the country out of the mess he is part of and he created then I pity for your generations to come.

Dennisochampa:
....
Let me agree with you that tinubu is not capable of turning the fortunes of 9ja around....
So who is? Peter obi that couldn't transform anambra during his tenure or atiku that almost privatized Nigeria during his tenure as customs boss and vp??
Who please??

Like he has stated earlier, you are sunk in your tribal hole and unable to discern naturally. As far as you are concerned it's either it's Tinubu or obi or atiku in a country of over 200m people that have produced renowned surgeons, musicians and athletes you cannot see anyone that can lift Nigeria out of the mess but Tinubu that has taken the country 100 years back in lass than 6 months in office.
You asked for 1 thing Tinubu has gotten wrong, he gave you five yet you are still saying obi will not make it any better.
Is Obi the one in office as president? Even if Tinubu cannot make things better, why can't he leave it the way he met it?
Things have tumbled upside down in this country in less than 6 months due to Tinubus ill thought out policies yet your defence is that obi will not make it better whereas you have not even tested obi and he's not the one in office.
You and your fellow minion will know no peace for the way you have used your blind support to politicians to finish this country. Poverty will visit your home ni.
And before you call me ipob because I'm not like you, I will say it in my language,a ti Iwo ati Tinubu e ma sofo danu ni.

Ogbonna24:
This man has been doing so well

Doing well with talk and no action. A visit to the passport office will tell you better.
I was there on Monday and it's a nightmare, to open file and come back again after waiting for appointment for capture for more than a month.
I will not give him any credit until I get my passport in two weeks like he promised.

[quote author= post=126930267]To buttress the OP's point :
Things are not all that rosy for Nigerians staying overseas.
You would have to work hard and smart to survive.
You must learn high-demand skills abroad if you have the intention to travel to Canada, the USA, Europe, etc.
Developed countries do not emphasize certificates like Nigeria. Your employability depends on your level of expertise.
There is nothing like I got the job because of my uncle or other types of corrupt practices.
We know family relatives who had difficulties settling abroad because of a lack of digital skills or handwork.
We know someone was able to succeed through her catering skills.
She was able to open a big restaurant because she knew how to cook delicious Nigerian meals.

The following is the list of handwork to learn before leaving Nigeria;
Tailoring
Plait Braid and Weave Hair
Makeup Artistry
Barbing
Electrician
Heavy Machine Operator
Phone & Laptop Repair
Auto Mechanic
Plumbing
Furniture Making
Carpentry
Welding
Construction
Cooking & Catering
Interior Decoration
Car Rewiring
Mow Flowers
Window Installation Service
Auto Body Painting[/quote]Truck driving should top this list.
That's the highest paying vocation if you plan to move to Canada but it requires a license.

Omoawoke2:
Dirty jobs to you because you have been programmed to think everybody must be doing white collar jobs so you can look down on the rest like they dont matter.

The dignity of labor is well respected abroad and all animals are equal. You will see a beautiful girl will be proud to say her father is a plumber and that's her family business.
You will see a normal white babe or dude will say proudly that her family are into bakery.

And that's the business they do they use in living a quality life and sending their kids through college.

The kids even finish high school and start the family business.... they live a far better life than you..
You don't look down on labor in Western world

Don't mind the ignoramus. He thinks everywhere is like Nigeria, if I tell him the highest paying job you can get in Canada is truck driving I'm sure he won't believe it.y cousin in Canada rented his house from a truck driver and he told me he has several similar houses in Alberta. Infact, that my cousin has dusted his certificate and he's learning how to get the truck driving license from his landlord.
Everywhere is not Nigeria and you require a license to practice most of those vocations abroad.

Mopolchi:
Well, I believe that with IreV, the affected parties can argue their cases and send APC packing. The updated IreV currently shows the number of accredited voters. What these parties need now is to print out the number of accredited voters per each polling unit. Make/force INEC to get the collation results at the ward level, then compare and contrast to see if there is over-voting. If there is, the court will have no choice than to cancel any polling unit with over voting.

Irev is irrelevant to elections in Nigeria according to supreme court oga.

Mopolchi:
Unreasonable and unrealistic figures. Irev shows lesser people were accredited, so why did INEC agree to these bloated figures by APC? Other oppositions should challenge these results in court. Evidences dey.

What is irev? The supreme court has already confirmed that irev is irrelevant in elections in Nigeria. The presidential election judgement according to the supreme court states that irev is irrelevant and inconsequential in election results.
Nigeria is doomed, just know this and know peace.

yankison:
You no go ever know peace in ur miserable life ..Oloriburuku person ..untimely death is ur portion for the remaining days of this year ...Watch out how u will die miserably

Please include the mumus that like his post in whatever curse you are placing on his life.
They also should not be do not deserve to live long for supporting evil in hard times like this.

benuejosh:
Most Nigerians are just clever by half.

That was a budget by the Nigerian Navy.

This one thinks he's making a point with his irrelevant post.
Whar happened to the yatch bought by Jonathan then? Are you aware the president vets all budget proposal before NAs approval?
You and your mumu post will end up as failure in life for supporting evil.

atiku4President:
What is wrong in buying a presidential yacht? Fake #RevolutionNow crusader.
You believe only you can save Nigeria and every other person is a thief. We have not forgotten the same people have used you in the past, and for the fact that you have been paid off and abandoned didn't make you any different.

You must be very unfortunate to be asking what is wrong in buying a presidential yatch of 5Bn in a country where over 80% are living below the poverty line.
In a country that is unable to meet her FX obligations and have defaulted on forward contract of over $4Bn.
In a country where you are unable to fuel your car because your salary cannot take you home.
You and your fellow zombies shall never have peace and e ma she ofo daanu ni loruko jesu.

nairalanda1:
Not defending the government, but it is millions of naira, and even if we used it for 'debt' it won't make much of a dent in our debt.

Naturally, the government is borrowing, so some of it, if not all, is prolly borrowed money.

You are always defending the government but will be using style not to say so openly.
Are you so timid of where you stand that to even say it out is shameful for you.
You said 130m car for 360 legislators is millions of naira. We need to revisit the school you went to and possibly collect back your school fees if that's the case.
That billions of naira wasted on such frivolities can go a long way in settling many domestic debts with the CBN but as usual you are trivializing it in your usual manner.
Very pathetic human being.

opamoses1:
Reno has something to say:

You and the anywhere belle face Reno that you copied his posts are very ignorant of what you are saying.
What does Nigeria as a nation export that makes naira devaluation favour us? Do you know how much Nigeria's trade deficit is?
Do you know the attendant inflation and dwindling of purchasing power the devaluation has caused Nigerians?
Dundee following Dundee united.

garfield1:
We will never enter recession under tinubu.ge might be corrupt but is competent.he has ran businesses successfully unlike buhari,worked under abiola a billionaire,revamped Lagos economy so I don't know what you are looking at.he will reduce borrowing,increase our revenue sources and increase expenditure to critical areas.

This is how zombiesm has eaten so deep into this one's skull.
We will never enter recession when all the evidences are staring at him in the face yet he has embraced zombiesm because of his primordial sentiment.
If I may ask you, how much is dollar today compared to when Tinubu took over? How much is a bag of rice today compared to the price in May 29th?
What are the indices that portends we won't enter recession when your government just took another $2bn loan without any clear cut means of paying back? Your lawmakers just bought SUV @ #130m each with funds that is not available but borrowed under this same directionless and ineptitude government but a mumu on nairaland that is yet to drive a keke napep is banking on hope to survive recession.
Are you just banking on hope without any clearcut strategy from the government on how it intends to tackle inflation, unemployment and FX unavailability.
From time immemorial hope is never a strategy. From what I have seen so far this Tinubus government will be worse than buharis own, mark my words.

JuanDeDios:
I wish it was this simple. It's that black market that impacts you, Mr DeLaRue, the most because every imported thing you buy at the shops comes from it. It is the market that impacts the economy, as that's where the real sector gets dollars from. If you don't believe me, go to GTB or First Bank on Monday to try to purchase $20,000 to import essential items, banned or unbanned.

Are you minding the ignoramus.
The black market is what sustains the Nigerian economy. That I and E rate you are seeing there is artificial.
I even heard from an official source that you pay higher rate in the I and E market. It's just to make the government feel good that they report that rate.

Ventura1:
Nothing is constant
You can't be happy that crude oil prices are increasing, while lamenting increase in prices of the derivatives.

Comments like this are what makes me think Zombie followership and tribalism is the biggest problem of this country.
I have read through every comment here and surveyed the streets and I am yet to see a single Nigerian happy that crude oil price is increasing except for politifians for obvious looting reason.
If I may ask you, how have you in any way benefitted from the crude oil price increase?
Has your salary increased or your standard of life better off?
The only thing you have gotten out of crude oil price if inflation, poverty, hunger and suicidal thoughts.
Yet you come online to state that Nigerians are happy that crude oil price increased so they should manage increase in gas price because of tribalism.
Zombies are very pathetic human beings indeed.

Vision101:
A distorted economy with so many things going wrong - weak revenue, poor power, poor infrastructure, high inflation, scarcity of fx, low GDP, import dependent, high unemployment, high rate of poverty, low productivity etc. cannot be turned around in three months.

The average policy gestation period cannot be three months. What we should be looking out for should be signs of focus and policy direction. On this I have confidence in BAT.

You see zombies like you deserve to be taken to the market square to beat your brain off zombiesm.
What policy reform has Tinubu put in place that made you think it will get better in three years or even 8 years. My people always say you will know a good Sunday from the Saturday.
Tinubus government is a trial and error government, he copied kpmg recommendation and quickly removed subsidy and devalued the naira thinking he has done something but he ended up causing more problems for everybody.
I actually don't pity zombies anymore, I despise them and pray hunger inflicted by Tinubu end up killing them.

Basicend:
Guy, what on earth do you want the govt to do. . ?

Are you a mad man?

Do you have someone in senate or the executives that is transferring stolen funds to you?

If he did not subsidize, that means PMS right now will be at N860 in Lagos by NNPC at best end price. . and if he had not been pegging the dollar at N1,000 range since the past 2 months, most importers including the Oil Marketers will have been getting a dollar at around N1,600 by now. .

Check my previous posts and you will know am not a Tinubu or APC advocate, but look, as humans, we must adjust and re-adjust just to get things right.

Why do people even talk like this. . Can you pay N1,600 per Litre now? Which is the reality of the status of NGN). Is so annoying. .

You are the confused and daft person here.
The forex you are attributing to have made fuel above 1600 per litre through your illogical economics.
Who made the forex to jump to that rate? Is it not the same mumu president?
He should be held responsible for both the forex and the fuel hike or subsidy addition.
Throughout buharis clueless and directionless regime forex never got to 800 even in the black market. Now there's still black market despite Tinubus mumu forex unification and it's selling at 1500 yet zombies like you don't think it's tinubus fault but innocent citizens complaining.

ArcFresky:
This is why education is very important.

It was clear Nigeria was borrowing to pay subsidy.
Nigeria borrowed within and without.. Nigeria was borrowing from CBN.

The Twin duo, Buhari and Emefiele were terrible things that happened to Nigeria.

TUC were asking for the Billions saved on subsidy, friends, Nigeria was borrowing to pay subsidy. Nigeria borrowed such that, it had to borrow to pay its debtors.

Its not sustainable, and removing susbsidy didn’t free up more money, it only made sure we were able to pay debts without borrowing.

If you ask me, thats a good step.

The next step is reduce the cost of governance, impose heavy duty on imports and send corrupt people to the gallows.

I always shudder when I see people spreading falsehood online and even get likes for the lies they spread.
Just as I asked someone earlier, can you share proof that government indeed borrowed money to pay for subsidy?
Could you state specifically the exact eurobond,sukuk or imf loan that was sourced for the payment of subsidy?
Ignorant people post falsehood online and ignorant people will like the lies told.
NNPC themselves came out and said they have not paid a single subsidy to anyone since 2015 , so who were the people paid these your borrowed subsidy money if true.
The only reason the government removed subsidy is cos they want more revenue that's all and unfortunately we cannot trust the government not to loot this extra income. Tinubu himself said they saved billions to be shared from the federation account in his nationwide broadcast the first month after subsidy removal yet a nairaland Tinubu supporter is insisting his master has not saved any money and yet still got likes for same.
Wonders shall never end in this country.

sulaak:
Before you link me to Tinubu, search my comments on this forum.

I despise Tinubu and everything he stands for. Nigeria needs to learn to be objective and discuss issues without being personal.

Nigeria doesn't have enough oil to swap or have you forgotten that Nigeria now produces less than 1 million barrels of oil per day due to government stealing. The Nigerian government was insuring bonds to fund oil importation.



The TUC, labour movement, and interest groups such as. Falana, Ben Bruce, Tinubu, Buhari and co all objected to the removal of Oil Subsidies. It was a public debate which was televised and available (see Attached )

Nigeria currently has $3.7 billion in reserves instead of $35 billion because the government has been mortgaging the reserve to JP Morgan and co to fund the importation and subsidy of refined oil. The funding and subsidy programme is corrupt to the call and both PDP and APC have benefitted from the importation of cheap refined oil.




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLd8o8z-2CU

All these rubbish you stated up there just to cover up where you have been busted.
Firstly, if the nations reserve is depleted it is not subsidy but the wastefulness of successive government in this country. You cannot shift goalpost from saying government borrowed to fund subsidy to depletion of foreign reserve.
Secondly, which specific bond did Nigeria issue to fund petrol subsidy and what's the series of the bond I want to know.
Is it Sukuk bond that was used for road construction,Eurobond or FGN series. You think you can come online to spread falsehood to ignorant people and not be put in your place.

Rossikk:
THESE ILLITERATES DON'T KNOW THAT NIGERIA WAS BORROWING TEN BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR TO PAY SUBSIDIES.

SO WHICH ''MONEY'' OR ''SAVINGS'' ARE THEY EXPECTING TO SEE?

KAI... WE NEED APTITUDE TESTS BEFORE JOINING NAIRALAND.

THIS PLACE HAS BEEN OVERWHELMED BY IGNORAMUSES AND ILLITERATES!!

You are the illiterate and gullible one here. Nigeria has never borrowed one Kobo to pay for subsidy before.
Provide just one evidence to back this up, nnpc was swapping crude oil for petrol all through Buhari's government so where did you get your false narratives from?
Tinubu himself even addressed the nation and said he saved billions from subsidy removal.
Liar oshi.

sulaak:
Nigeria TUC are the dumbest trade unionist in the world. Nigeria was borrowing money to fund oil subsidies. You don't save on borrowing; you end borrowing to stop growing the debt and then introduce economic reforms. GEJ should never have listened to these stupid TUCs and should have removed the subsidies in 2012.

The TUC should be protesting to fix the refineries, end the stealing of crude oil and fight corruption.

You have made two very absurd points to absolve your sponsors of the guilt and spread false narratives.
Firstly, it was not the TUC that spearheaded removal of subsidy in 2012. It is the people in government now, headed by Tinubu and Buhari himself that sponsored protests against subsidy removal in 2012.
Secondly, you lied that government was borrowing to pay for subsidy which I find very preposterous. Can you back up your claim with facts cos the government from time immemorial has never borrowed 1 Kobo to pay for subsidy.
Infact nnpc was swapping crude oil for petrol all throughout Buhari's tenure and there was no single report that stated we borrowed money to pay for subsidy.
Furthermore, Tinubu himself came out in his last address to the nation to state that his government saved billions from subsidy removal so where are you getting your misinformation from.

Pls I'm interested
How do I inspect

Sometimes if I'm bored I will just call one of my olosho friend will just smoke drink and spend time together.. because right now most friends are enemy..

Same with me.Most of my friends are indeed enemies masquerading as friends and I don't trust them at all.
One of them even went to the extent of saying shits about me to my wife to poison her mind to leave me, the other one borrowed money from me and didn't return it till date. Others are indeed looking for my downfall.
I've given up on friendship cos of the consistent betrayal from people I hold dear and call friends.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Op is telling a boldfaced wicked lie

Disregard. Don't believe him.

Petrol is not $3.9 per litre in USA. This is very misleading.

Petrol is $3.9 per gallon in USA instead even lower than that in some regions.

A gallon is equivalent to approximately 3.8 litres.

He can lie for Africa just to sound woke and deceive gullible people to support his wicked government.
That's how he said government is borrowing to pay for subsidy.

nairalanda1:
Subsidy is one of the things contributing to our debt. And since politicans make the decision to keep subsidy and have done so since 1999, it is still their fault

( Other things that keep us in debt is the fluctuations in oil price, import dependency and massive looting and corruption. Failure to diversify the economy worsens the matter).


If we had kept petrol at N65 since 2011, by now subsidy costs would have been running between 900 to 1000 per liter, up from 34 naira in Dec 2011. And we would have been paying for the thing from other parts of the budget.

Nothing like cheap fuel

You always come online to deceive gullible people with something you know nothing about. You have been championing subsidy removal since but yet you do not even understand the cause you are championing.
Subsidy is not even one of the things making Nigeria to borrow and it's not the reason Nigeria is in debt, the government themselves said they have not paid a single Kobo as subsidy payment to anybody since 2015 see where are you getting this misinformation that government is borrowing to pay subsidy.
What has been happening before the recent price adjustments by Tinubu is that nnpc is the sole importer of petrol and they have this crude for petrol swap deal in place instead of outright payment for subsidy other marketers will buy from nnpc.
So where did you get your misinformation that government is borrowing to pay subsidy?
While you may say swapping crude for petrol declines government revenue but is that not better than government earning the same money only to be looted by politicians. To me I prefer the crude swap arrangement cos at least all Nigerians benefits from cheap petrol but it's not all Nigerians that will benefit from politicians looting.

cathodekazim:
In a free and fair settings, mention one Northern state an Igbo man will win as the president of Nigeria. Even in Southwest, the closest you can get is Lagos and that's even a tall order. In a free and fair election, An igboman will always come a distant fourth. Bitter truth to swallow

Your assertion is not correct even though I'm not igbo. Obi won in nasarawa, plateau and FCT which are all in the north and that's despite all the electoral fraud so what do you mean by Igbo cannot win in the north?

Kindly reach me on wattsap if you are in interested. 07012623013

Let's shower of president with some likes..

His getting things done in terms of investment negotiations which will bring more jobs and also stabilize our Economy.

May God bring back the lost glory to our great Nation.

Nigeria Will Be Great Again.

There's nothing special Tinubu is doing here as that's why he's there. Not to just go and eat food, laugh and waste tax payers money.
It's because buhari took governance to the lowest of low that we see things like this as special.
Imagine buhari despite all his travelling could not attract a single significant investment into the country. Even if he wants to he's hindered because he cannot communicate. Even Nigerians cannot understand when buhari speaks English how much more foreigners,his best bet would be to speak fulfude and get a translator when talking to Biden but he didn't do that.

If not Ecuador, Haiti, and the rest what were you expecting??

When we ask people to do a little research and stop talking out of ignorance they will come online to disgrace themselves.
Ecuador is a strong footballing nation and it's ranked 12th in the world. Infact Ecuador is better than Nigeria in football, in the last world cup Ecuador won Africa's best in Senegal and drew with Netherlands to qualify from their group.
Ecuador have star players all over Europe and some of their players like caicedo etc are hot cake in epl . Try and read a little before coming out to say what you don't know.
