A heated exchange broke out at a store after a man asked his child’s mother for a $10 loan when he came up short at checkout. Tension rose quickly as he reminded her, “I gave you $2,000 last week, and you can’t spot me $10 now?”

PressMyButton: I'm loving this, since President Tinubu opened up the oil sector, it has become a chess game, a price war, call it anything. Remember that Dangote had said on several occasions he has enough fuel to go round, therefore, there's no need for markerters importing fuel. From the article above, you will see where Dangote exported 44,000 tonnes of diesel, very sure he also exported petrol and other products as well. Meanwhile, as that was happening, the marketers ignored Dangote to go import their own petrol into the country. For me, I am neither here nor there, I don't want market monopoly, at the same time, I do not want marketers boycotting local refineries to patronize foreign refineries, I do not also want too much pressure on the dollar for fuel Importation. So, I am caught in between. However, Dangote is a Don, from what I am observing here, he's a badass capitalist that knows his way around the market. He has warned the importers that he has enough to go round but the marketers insisted they will only buy from where it is cheaper as the market is now a free market. Dangote would then wait for them to go place an order abroad and when their petrol is on the sea, Dangote reduces his own price below the landing cost. By the time, the marketers received their products, they are left with no choice than sell it at Dangote's price. They dare not sell above the price of Dangote. With that, the marketers run into losses. I heard them crying two months ago that the price crashes made them incur losses when Dangote again crashed the price after FG renewed the naira for crude deal. My observation so far is that Dangote is still controlling the market price and whenever the marketers decided to buy from abroad, he reduces his own price to punish them.
Satazaa: The surest way to live comfortably in Lagos is to be a successful and thriving entrepreneur or have multiple streams of income, salaries carry curses that can never be enough nor make you rich, Carl Toriola the highest paid Nigerian no be Dangote and Otedola mate, anywhere they seat Carl must stand up
But Carl is rich by all standards, even though he earns salary.
Even Dangote and otedola don’t make the same amount. One is richer than the other even if so slightly.
There are people that are entrepreneurs and have multiple streams of income that don’t make as much as some salary earners with all their incomes combined.
Riches/wealth/success is subjective.
The idea that salary doesn’t make you rich is false.
Jman06: If Prof Soludo,in his wisdom, considered it necessary to adopt president Tinubu for 2027, then I'm left with no choice than also support Tinubu! This is because Prof has shown so much progressivism in his administration; including making sweeping progressive changes in his political appointments which saw him appoint some great minds in pharmacy profession into his cabinet and also revamping the pharmaceutical sector in Anambra state.
This is unlike other states that pay lip service to this critical sector of our healthcare focusing attention only on medical doctors while neglecting other great minds in healthcare viz-a-viz Pharmacists.
For the above reason and also for his monumental achievements in the state's infrastructural development, I'll solidly stand gidigba anywhere Prof Soludo stands!

zero8zero: No 1. According to findings by The PUNCH. Written on the 2nd of May. Meanwhile as at 6th of May, Nigeria has cleared her debts. Punch was too hasty to write this article.
No 2. The RFI loan, disbursed in full on April 30, 2020. It was a loan disbursed 5 yrs ago.
No 3. Under the terms of the facility, Nigeria’s remaining repayment obligations are staggered over a five-year period beginning in 2025. Meaning the payment is due this year, which has been cleared.
No 4. Also, Nigeria’s debt to the IMF dropped significantly from $2.47bn in 2023 to $800.23m in 2024 — a reduction of 67.6 per cent, or $1.67bn, likely tied to repayments on the emergency and budget-support facility disbursed in 2020. Under a year, Nigeria's debt went from $2.47b down to $ 800.23m in 2024.
No 5. And concluding in 2029. From 2026 to 2029, the obligations primarily relate to charges and interest payments estimated at around SDR 26.7 million each year, translating to about $36.14m annually at the current exchange rate. An SDR is not money, it's a reserve asset. So, we are not owing money.
SoftSport: Tinubu’s decision is a great one if followed properly, it will help local businesses grow, make the naira stronger This shows Tinubu truly cares about Nigeria’s economy.

nairalanda1: Racoon, let's forget politics for a moment...and I am not backing APC.
This year's budget was based on oil being 75 dollars per barrel.
For several weeks now, oil has been hovering around 60 dollars per barrel, and may even go lower.
That means difficultes in funding the budget and by extension, subsides for anything.
Plus, we have been subsidising power for decades, and it has not improved power supply at all, yes. (Even under your beloved GEJ, power supply was bad. Let's not deny it).
Since power was privatised, we have been paying subsides, and essentially preventing the power sector from making a profit.
Now, with falling oil prices, money for subsides will be hard to come by this year. Either tarrifs are raised, or we go and take loans, and nobody complains about it.
Always announcing that you’re not backing APC, thinking that everyone here is as dull as you are.😁
