But the President gave an order for the withdrawal of police from VIP protection.
Yet Tinubu’s son flouted the order, and they still want us to take them seriously.


Thunder 🔥 all of them there.
As a child of the President, I believe Seyi is entitled to DSS protection.

With the amount of times Tinubu has visited France and met with Marcon of recent, surely the least Marcon can do is offer French intelligence and technology. Along with equipment, weapons and training.

I saw a video of a group of soldiers advancing in the bush today on X, and if thats really how our Army operates, its no wonder why we are struglling. No tactics, no coordination whatsoever. They showed poor training.

A professor would still be earning less than 10k dollars per year
Highest a prof makes now is 600k so 900k for a professor a month in this economy is ok?

And 150k for a lecture one is ok?
Don't mind him. Left to me though a salary of N1.2mln for a Professor in Nigeria of today is ok.

For a lecturer just startiing out, 500k is okay.

Nigerian Army should conduct counter terrorism by posing as travellers in mufti in fairly rickety vehicles and set ambush for the terrorists too.

Nigeria needs to do better in terms of intelligence gathering. We should have a network of 'spies' in the rural areas - folks like goat herders, shoe makers, vulcanizers etc who will monitor local gist of bandit and terrorist movement and relay info to a central control room in a coded manner.

You can't tell me the locals don't see these guys when they are riding around with heir multitude of bikes.

Its really sad that we like to pander to oyinbo, but don't listen to our own people.

Sanwoolu repaired the Lekki - Epe expressway by Oriental hotel because Oyinbos were coming to town for the boat race! So for years that spot has been very bad, you didn't know it needed repairs for the people who drive on it everyday. but oyinbo is coming to town, then you hurridly go and repair it.

If we are serious in Nigeria, we should have done much more by ourselves.

its only in Nigeria that you will hear that millitants attacjked an army base for 5 hours. The same 5 hours that i will use to fly from Lagos to London! So in that time, they couldnt get Air Force support?

There are cheap Turkish drones that are like $5mln and can stay airborne for 24hours loaded with pricision guided missiles. Left to me, we should buy like 20. 15 fully armed (3 each for NE,NW and NC) and 5 with high tech cameras, infrared etc to surveillance gathering. We can then partner with western countries to place a sattelite permanently over Northern Nigeria. A sattelite can have 100 high definition camera, constantly monitoring movements in notorious bandit areas.

Then we should have like 5 attack helicopters ready to go at short notice at all times. Station 2 in NE and 2 in NW and one in NC. These helicopters will be fitted with our elite Army fighters on rotation to support ground forces with mop up operations after drone strikes.

If we keep at this dilligently for 1 year, we will decimate these terorists significantly. At least they wont roam around with impunity.

By January when people start paying taxes, they’ll see the reality of living in a country where you pay taxes like those who live abroad, but get nothing in return.
The person to demand something in return for your taxes is you. If Sowore requests 1mln man march to NASS for good governance, I'm sure you'll use that Saturday to be watchhing Netflix.

Nigeria's are not willing to do what it takes.

Mind you i'm not advocating for riots or looting o. Just 1,000,000 people going to occupy NASS and Aso Rock and demanding for good governance, reduction in estacode, reduction is wasteful spending, reduction in corruption, reduction in using our money to buy Landcruisers etc will shake the establishment to their core. Do you know what it means for 1mln people to gather? Even 100k!!

The problem with guyz like you is You dont shut up where necessary,

Presently in Nigeria, almost everyone is embracing "cashless transactions" opay, moniepoint e.t.c So what problem is higher domination notes coming to solve

of what benefit is a higher note in an economy drowning in hyper inflation ... we have #5, #10, 20, 50 and # 100 all uselezz n valueless already even 1000 the highest currency cant feed a child 3 meals a day

After Cbn waste our little resources to print higher 10k n 20k notes what do you think will happen to the smaller notes then inflation skyrocket again ... why do the rich hate the poor so much, if you must spend millions in a day do transfer, why cash anyways

Proposing for Higher note is a call for Final burial of " naira" no benefit, zero advantage
I advocate for cashless and infact 99% of my transactions are cashless, but once in a while you still need cash. As it is now you cant even gift anyone N1k. Even a 5 year old will be like what is this...it can't buy jack!!

And the cost of printing the N1k may be N400. The cost of printing N10,000 note may be N500.

It's not nonsense, it's actually A LOT OF SENSE.
Even CFA has 2000, 5000 and 10,000 single notes without your SUPERSONIC INFLATION fears and emotion.
Mind you a 5000 naira note will not even have the value of a 2000 CFA note.

2015
1000 naira = 3100 CFA

2025
1000 naira = 388 CFA

The argument being made is not about the value of the naira, we all know naira is not even worth the paper it's printed on.
The argument is about the portability of the naira.
Know the difference.
Don't mind them. Too many people here are responding with beer parlour gist and no sound economic principle or undeerstanding

Texbook Economics.

Will you be the one to tell the Millo seller to sell for N100, or the Farmer to sell his yam for N200, I wonder which theory supports this your speculations, its a free market, remember.

Please there is a huge difference between theories and reality.

Textbook -wise, you score A+, But applying this to Nigeria, unfortunately, its Zero
Ok since 2005 when we had N1000 note has massive inflation not ocurred? Inflation is a function of more serious macro and fiscal indicators, not the absolute denomination of the currenct.

We don't need higher denomination money in nigeria but to make the existing ones to have value moreover with the type of people we have in leadership if there should be introduction of a new note, kleptomaniac tinubu will make sure it is his face and signature cap that will be on the note and we don't want that.
Having value is not magic. You and me are causing the lesser value. I can bet you everythting you have on you now is imported

phone
laptop
belt
pant
jeans
t shirt
watch
slippers


All imported, but you add no export value, so where will the better value come from?

Your economics teacher in secondary school will be in severe pains reading your comment.
Im curious...so N1000 note was introduced in 2005. Twenty years ago. In that time that the highest denomination has remained the same, have we not seen inflation? So where was that inflation coming from?

Printing N22trls ways and means is more dmamaging than increasing Naira denomination
Corruption and loose money in the system does more damage than increasing naira denomination
Operating N20trln deficit and having excess money in the system does more damage than increasing naira denomination
Depreciation of the Naira, does more damage than increasing the naira denomination.

Personally id say we need N5,000 and N10,000 for now.

I put N20k in my wallet and it can barely handle any transaction, even though I don't use cash much. And I cant put more than that cos it makes my wallet too bulky, so whats the point.

Bro. When it comes to Nigeria, it is never a beer parlour gist. Why? The regulatory body hardly follow-up on their duties in this nation. Good example: ever since prices of edibles don go up, I observed something which is = Increase is price, decrease in quantity and quality. Then the question is why increase the price when you know that you will reduce quality and quantity. Let them bury the idea of higher denominations
Reducing quantity while still increasing price or at least keeping price stable happens everywhere. Its called shrinkflation. Some companies looking for 20% increase in price may have felt Nigerians cannot absorb it, so rather the increase price by 10% andnr educe quantity by 10%, thereby stylishly achieving their 20%

Namaster:
Experts in what?
Stupidity and buffoonery?
Do they know anything about Macroeconomics?

If the CBN implements the NONSENSE, we'll leave the realms of Galloping inflation for the stratosphere of SUPERSONIC inflation.

We'd be using a Wheelbarrow-load of money to buy SNIPER while looking to the sweet release of death with FONDESS.

"Experts" should STOP this nonsense and go back to their Beer Parlour.
You are actually the one that doesn't understand basic economics! The denomination has little to do with inflation.

Buhari printing N22trln of ways and means did 100 times more damage than having N10,000 note will ever do.

Operating a N20trln deficit does more damage to inflation than the value of your denomination will ever do.

The critical thing CBN needs to do is to ensure that if they print 1 million notes of N10,000 bills, which is N10bln in value, they have to remove equivalent value in lower denominations from the market so that money supply remaiins the same.

Manyfacturers do not increase prices because of the level of denomination.

If Milo is N100, it remains N100.

That gist of the denomination will increase inflation is actually the beer parlour gist

How many graduates does the north have compared to the south first of all. And I mean quality graduates o! Not the ones that are just pushed through school for the sake of graduating.

Let KPMG do a proper aptitute test of 1000 students from each geopolitical zone. I can bet you graduates from North East and North West that would pass wont be more than 10%. Go to ICAN and get a list of all of their Chartered Accountants and lets see how many are from the North. But when it comes to government appointments you want equal footing.

Thats the critical question. But Dangote has consistently said he can meet local demand. And truthfully is a 650kpd refinery is firing on all cylinders, then it should be able to meet our demnd easily, especially now that demand has gone down due to less cars on the roads due to the high cost of petrol.

Any account linked to Nigeria via phone number, location etc must have the users NIN as part of his or her profile information (though not visible to the public).

So after that, let anyone who comes to post on social media do so with his full chest. No one is saying you shouldn't criticise. But criticise is different from insult.

No one is saying you shouldn't agitate for your community, clan or tribe, but that is not the same as propagating tribal hate.

This new investment is a birth of the PIA initiated by President Muhammed Buhari.

The credit goes to late PMB and not PBAT.

The unbundling of roles, responsibilities and tasks of the Upstream (Exploration), Midstream (Refining) and Downstream (Distribution) has made investments more attractive in the Upstream sector.

Shell had announced this investment since last year with a total of $5B but has just concluded the first tranche of the $2B. This investment has been captured as an FDI inflow since last year.

Them go whine you (Propagandist) but please no panic.
what Shell announced for $5bln last year was for Bonga North, This is HI. Two different projects.
