The budget has nothing to do with dollars it is NOT roughly $5 billion dollars. We do not spend dollars and do not operate in the same framework.

There is no way $5 billion in America will account for the same number of people or activities

whether it is petrol a haircut,taxi fare or olosho the cost schema is not the same

forget the exchange rate. It is not relevant

It is very relevant!! Like it or not the USD is the currency of the world and benchmarking against it is a valuable indicator of progress or otherwise. You might have seen a viral post some time ago of how someone who built house for rent was collecting N1mln rent like 8 years ago, which at the time was worth $1000 for eg, while now rent of N2.5mln is worth $800. Increase in NGN seems like progress, but in dollar terms, it highlights that not as much progress is being made.

Most of that capital expenditure will be highly influenced by e-rate, so its very relevant.

Calm down!! It's only a Stadium which they had to build to host afcon. We have Abuja stadium and Uyo stadium that beats this hands down. This is looking at the same level as Adioke Amiesimaka stafolium in PH.

This is why government can never run a business successfully. This time of the year has the greatest demand for rail services. This is the time the NRC should be smiling to the bank, but that's the time the dumb FG decides to give free train rides!! Honestly speaking, anyone who cannot afford N1200 train ride from Lagos to Ibadan should just stay in Lagos and not travel. it's not by force.

People will say they don't have money to travel, but the place you are going at this time of the year, is it not money you are going to spend there? How do you show up anywhere for Xmas and not spend money?

All this is, is cheap publicity for political support, not sound economic decision making.

The bourdillon frog is losing on all fronts

I would like this to take hold, but what power does IBB have in APC? That's where the real problem is. Scaling the APC primaries is the real battle.

Depends on if Tinubu is really interested in contesting or not. If not will he openly support Osinbajo? Likewise Buhari. Does he have enough clout in APC to swing it for Osinbajo should he decide to support him?

It's clear that Buhari would prefer Osinbajo to Tinubu.

E-money made money from clearing and forwarding.
His wife was the key to his success in that service business that he became very big and started clearing full container loaded ships for some big wigs in the industry.
As an igbo man concerned, he diversified into other money making businesses like oil and gas and shipping.
Today, he owns an empty container terminal (Emmy shipping) that's being run by an elder brother.

There's no juju to it
Dont ever think There's Yahoo to it just because they call him electronic money, man is a legit business man.

N.B igbo man and business is like 5&6
It's abinibi not ability

Brexxit:
We celebrate mediocrity in this country too much.

The amount of money Akwa ibom state has received for the past 8 years is enough to turn it to a world class standard like Dubai.

The Governors of Akwa ibom are thieves, especially akpabio.

I get where you are coming from, but what many of you don't realise is that no government single handedly builds a city. A lot of what you see in Dubai is also private capital. Not every skyscraper you see in dubai is built by the government. When a city/country becomes viable for investment, they will need a head office won't they? Either they build it themselves or a private developer may build it and then they lease space there.

It's like saying Lagos state government built the nice high rise office buildings on Osborne Road. The two under construction, one belongs to Dangote and the other to Alakija. In 5years now when completed, someone will come to Osborne from Nassarawa state and say why can his governor not develop their capital like Lagos.

prophetfire:
You call importation "ordinary" and says anyone can do it? Oya na, go and venture into it and see for yourself.

Importation is what millions of Nigerians do! Is everything we use not imported? If you look at 20things around you, 18 of them will be imported. Your phone, jeans, power bank, belt, TV, laptop, shoes, watch etc.

The point is Dangote actually went the line of production which reduces imports, reduces demand for forex and creates jobs which results in taxes for govt. So why wouldn't government support him?

And now that Air Peace is worth supporting, the government has done that too!

Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu today commissioned the newly reconstructed Network of Roads in Victoria Island (Adeola Hopewell Street, Idowu Taylor Street and Afribank Street).

Adeola Hopewell and Afribank/ Churchgate Streets are One-way traffic road while Idowu Taylor is a two-way. The three roads form a ring road-like pattern that serves that sector of Victoria Island.

The network discharges traffic into Sanusi Fafunwa which also connects back to Adeyemo Alakija Street at it tail end.

Some of the features of the road designs: interlocking paving stones on walkway and Carriageway Provision of service ducts, street/lane marking and provision of Streetlights.


The commissioning of these network of roads will improve Inter-connectivity with other roads within area, eliminate perennial flooding and erosion problems experienced within the axis and better socio-economic activities within the area.

#ForAGreaterLagos
#SanwoIsWorking

Good development, but Sanusi Fafunwa and Adeyemo Alakija and that GTB former head office street should have been done as well to really give that part of VI a new lease on life.

Abeg my people, where on the island in Lagos can one get 18-20 hours light for residential homes.

I'll appreciate your submission.

In my estate in Ologolo/IgboEfon we average about 18 to 20 hours a day. On a bad day, which maybe just a day a week, we might be 12 hours.

Don't know if that is because we have our own transformer sha o

Actress Luchy Donalds Celebrates As She Is Gifted With A Mercedes Benz Car (Photos, Video)

Popular Nollywood actress, Luchy Donalds has been gifted with a new Mercedes-Benz car, IgbereTV reports.

The actress revealed that the car was waiting for her while she was on vacation in Instabul, and she returned to receive it as an early Christmas gift.

Some of her colleagues congratulated her on her new car, telling her that she deserves the car because she worked too hard for it.

Luchy shared a video of herself with the car on her Instagram handle. She captioned the video;

So we are now celebrating second hand benz online. The car looks ancient. Certainly not a recent model.

Anyone expecting it to make rice cheaper maybe chasing a pipe dream with this government.
6 months after production starts the next thing u wud hear is that Nigerians are buying the rice at cheap prices and smuggling it across the border to sell at higher prices;so the goverment has no choice than to raise the price to discourage smuggling.
Another one will be that due to scarcity of foreign exchange the production company has to source for dollars at the black market to buy machinery and other production needs;so prices have to be raised to avoid laying off of staff and settling of bank debts.

The unfortunate reality is that these 2 scenarios if they occurred would be real. That's the impact of operating in a global economy. Interest rates, exchange rates etc will surely have an impact on operations

This imota rice mill has been 99% complete for almost 2 years now!!

larryking540:
then the fg can source for cheaper labour ,that's what UAE ,and other countries do when their citizens refuse to work

Labour in Nigeria is already one of the cheapest in the world

Curious345:
Medical consultants earn 300k-400k monthly in 9ja.

Professors earn 400k-500k monthly in 9ja.

Bus driver earn £3,000 (2.8m) monthly in London..

If you don't chose driving a bus above this mess we call a country then you must be high on Mkpurummiri

Not really a good anaylsis, as it doesn't consider cost of living.

If that Professor were to be in University of Ibadan (Ibadan being a cheap town), he might be able to save more at the end of every month than the guy earning GBP3000 in London.

Let me add additional perspective for you. I live in Houston and let me give you a run down of bills, some of which don't exist (or are significantly lower) in Nigeria:

Rent (3bed) $1,850 a month (N1.036mln) equivalent in Ibadan is like $178 a month (N1.2mln a year)
Auto Insurance $108 a month (N60k)
Electricity $120 (N67k)
Water $70 (N39k)
Gas $50 (N28k)
Homeowners Insurance $60 (N33k)
Flood Insurance $60 (N33k)
Home Warranty $60 (N33k)

And how exactly will this policy help? Nigerian news sources are really poor sha. They just report on the periphery of issues without any detail or substance. Partly because the journalist covering the event sef is low quality. If he were to read the policy sef, he couldn't analyze it well enough to bring out the salient points.

Not even a link to the pdf version of said policy so we can read it for ourselves.

https://punchng.com/25000mw-siemens-power-project-begins-q1-2022-fg/

This is just typical shallow Nigerian news without details.

Can anyone tell me exactly how Siemens plans to get us from our current paltry 4000MW to 7000MW? Is it by providing gas to existing under utilized gas plants? If so, where is the gas magically going to come from? Or do they plan to deploy grid scale solar and wind?

And then how are we to get from 7000MW to 11,000MW and then on the 25,000MW. Even if money were not an impediment, that sort of jump would still be very challenging to pull off, given the so many things that can go wrong with executing a project like this in Nigeria beyond the financial aspects.

As far as I'm concerned this is all just shallow talk, as there is no concrete plan!!

FarahAideed:
And you don't know almost 30 percent of the cost of your flight ticket goes to the Nigerian govt ? You should check the breakdown of your international flight fares and see

That's transaction tax and one off! What about the remaining tax on that persons annual income?

Nigeria is about 1.4 times bigger than Texas.
Texas is approximately 678,052 sq km, while Nigeria is approximately 923,768 sq km, making Nigeria 36% larger than Texas. Meanwhile, the population of Texas is ~25.1 million people (188.9 million more people live in Nigeria).

Funny enough on Google maps, they look roughly the same size

FarahAideed:
So you are going to tax any transactions that occurs on a bank account? ... All Buahrist truly have low IQ like the bUhari

That is already being done by way of N50 stamp duty for any credit to account over N10k! You no dey see am for your own account?

Besides, linking TIN to account doesn't mean they will charge tax per transaction. It's just a way to link people cash flows to their tax records. How can N50mln pass through an account yet the person has no tax record with govt because he's an Idumota trader. That has got to stop.

Left to me people with no tax record should not be able to fly out of Nigeria. Tax records should be linked to passport sef. You don't pay tax, but you can afford N750k flight to US!? Or N300k flight to Dubai! How can?

Arrewa:
Shoprite, Silverbird Cinemas and other high-end outlets begin setting up office at the new Galaxy Mall in Kaduna with 3 cinemas , 48 line shops and 6 restaurants . Shoppers going to Abuja and Kano for certain goods and services will now get them in Kaduna. IGR will rise.

The mall is sitting on 11, 000 square meters along Waff Road and it is designed to accommodate 48 line shops.

What is it that shoppers were getting in kano and Abuja that this mall will now suddenly provide?

I hope Hisbah will not come and shut it down sha o.

Mercychen:
Shes scared for her life. If she doesn't do that she might get tracked down with her account.

This is why it's important to bring up a child in the way of the Lord. When he grows up, no matter the peer pressure, he'll never give in or join bad gangs.

Now, Does this woman look like someone who has the time to give a child moral upbringing? This slay mama?
From her looks you can easily tell she left the training of her child/children to maids and house helps in his formative years.

Lets forget this peer pressure thing. It only over powers spoilt empty heads that didn't have a proper informal training.

You jumping to too many conclusions on the basis of looks alone. Many parents do try their best, but but the kids just get too swayed by peer pressure.

Peer pressure is the most intense form of pressure in life. Just one bad mistake to drink beer with friends in sec school, or rape a girl or use weed or commit an 'innocent' crime can change a teenagers life for ever.

When did Nigeria oil production drop to 1.5 million per day something that was 2.2 million under Jonathan

APC has finished Nigeria honestly

Don't you read the news? Nigeria's OPEC quota in response to drastically reduced demand in 2020 as a result of covid is about 1.65mln barrels a day. Then due to some pipeline outages, production is lower than the quota.

The International Convention Centre, Awka nears completion. It is one of the outstanding legacy projects of the Obiano administration.

With capacity to accommodate over 10,000 persons, the ICC is rightly positioned to be a convention hub that will enable social and economic growth and drive development in specific areas of the economy.

In the video, attached, Commissioner for Housing - Hon Michael M. Okonkwo provides insightful details of the architectural masterpiece and explains the benefits to Anambra State.

Gov Obiano is committed to completing the ICC to ensure that ndị Anambra enjoy the benefits envisioned in its design and construction. His passion for the development of the State drives the impetus for the delivery of impactful projects even to the end his tenure.

festacman:
It is not about training. Nigerian Police as at today has tons of modern kits and equipment for protest or hostile crowd control. And they sure have the knowledge.

Most Nigerians believe that Nigerians by nature are stubborn and only firm use of red eye and raw force will get them moving. It is about mentality. Give an average Nigerian uniform and small authority and watch his enforcement conduct. Even the degrading way common corporate security personnel treat crowd of job seekers especially when recruitment is on will tell you everything.

Which tons of equipment? Where are they?
