₦airaland Forum

The sad part of this all is that we are still calling these people "bandits"

They are terrorists for God's sake. Let's start from calling them what they are.

erad:
I don't see any reason for the insult and degradation.

If you feel you have a better insight, educate him. Except you have nothing upstairs as well, that's the only reason you'll stoop so low.

Just checked your posts now to see if you are one of the APC paid folks on this forum and saw that you are not.

So, I'll be really calm with you. If you don't know, let me inform you. The way to relate with APC folks like that guy on this forum is not to educate them (they're paid for what they're posting) it's to ensure that they see so much push back that they get demoralized concerning the job.

You don't try to wake those who ate pretending to be asleep, you pour hot water oj their head so when they feel the pain, try stop pretending to be asleep.

dederocs:
Government should ban NUPENG, they can't hold the nation to ransom, if a union begins to be a thorn on the flesh of citizens and economy, it should be banned.

Nigerians get no benefit from NUPENG, just a parasitic union.

Apparently, you don't know jack about labor laws. "Government should suspend NUPENG"?

Money wey dem take train you go school, dem suppose use am train goat.

The issue we are not seeing is that whether it is NUPENG or any other thing, we as a country would heavily depend on a private individual for petrol I and petroleum products.

Jaymats:
Ok noted, pls no one should beg them if they like let them not even return to work again its up to them.

I have realised everything in Nigeria since those losers lost in 2023 become politicised just to throw the current govt balance for them to say didn't we told you?

This is how most Africa countries ended up in the hands of a tyrant because of frustration and self hatred towards one own country in the name of political party, religion and tribe affluation.

Doctors pls go on strike your family too will suffer the consequence afterall you all have brothers, sisters, uncles, cousins, niecews, nephews, friends etc so if they say heaven is about to fall its going to fall on all.

The suppose use money wey them take trian you go school take train goat.

I remember when one APC folk once opened a thread and said Tinubu is the best president in Africa. Without any research, without any index, he just sat down in his room in Ogbomosho and declared.

We have some very very funny people here in Nairaland I tell you.

This is a wonderfully cooked propaganda this early morning.

Please continue. Therapists need customers.

Ttalk:
I know some people who will be jittery with this news, anything that has to do with regionalism or true federalism is a no go area for them

Either they like it or not, Nigeria will operate as a true federalism or regionalism so we can identify the leeches that always claiming developers.

They condermn state vat collection.

They go against tax reform bill

They have now surged their heads to condemn state police.


Nigeria is not a. Unitary system, if you want good governance, create one

I've not seen a more disastrous take on things in the last few months than this your take.

The next and true step to true federalism is state control of resources. Especially oil.

sreamsense:
I laughed in 3D! First, you agreed Oyo is of the same size as the five south east; you never raised argument or raise data to counter it. Good of you for accepting that fact.

Now, your major problem is now on conflict of thought, you compared yourself with small size Lagos, but you all five states put together never have riches of Lagos or close to it. Oyo is not directly or indirectly feeding small Lagos, but Oyo is indirectly feeding your entire five states in term of remittance from her own excess profits to balance your own deficits. You don't even need to drag abroad to this, not to expose your weaknesses; it is not by size, yes; we agree only for the small states that are richer than the big one in question.

You better go and check the population census of Oyo state in case you forgot, Oyo is always number 3 in term of population before Kaduna. Oyo is not responsible for ipob/ESN that drive people away from Alaigbo for your low population, hope you know?

Juts a simple google search will tell you that The South Eastern States are bigger than Oyo State.

The total landmass of the five states in Nigeria's South East (Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo) is approximately 29,388 km².

While Oyo states holds 28,454km²

NOETHNICITY:
Some people are saying it’s all lies. Now tell me why someone would lie about being rich

There are lots of reasons why a person would lie about being rich. To be treated with honour, to get a woman, etc etc.

Pauladex:
School is a scam gang, how will Nigeria develop if all your life is used to defend naira. You want light, good road but used your resource to defend naira. Which country on earth is doing that? Go back to school and stop been a nuisance.

What you call "defending the naira" is called a fixed exchange rate. It's a common practice in the world. No country completely floaties it's exchange rate.

I believe the reason Tinubu is getting away with all he's doing is cause we have a very high population of illiterates and that includes you.

But we've met our revenue target.

What's the revenue used for?

Eniitankorede:
Okay let us educate you further now. Nigeria has had a positive balance of payment of 5 trillion in last two years. This has not happened for over ten years. It is happening now, what you thought would never happen. We told you that you need to read and learn about the changes happening gradually.

Thank you very much for this! But I think you need to pay attention to details so you're not swayed by propaganda.

Nigeria had a TRADE SURPLUS not a BOP surplus.

Nigerian hasn't had a problem with it's trade trade surplus in about 10 years+. We've always had problem with our other accounts i.e Capita account as a whole and current account as a whole.


Pay attention to details.
Except your

Eniitankorede:
Where do we start to educate you now? You have a long way to go in understanding whats going on. Eventually the value of naira will improve and this will also improve inflation and reduce poverty eventually. It is a long walk which will eventually be happy for everyone.

Thank you for trying to educate me.

But, in my humble and very little knowledge, let me make something clear to you.

Nigeria has had a Balance of Payment (BOP) deficit since the 1990's

No nation on Earth has ever used income from diaspora (Current Account) to flip the position of it's BOP. It has never happened and it won't happen with Nigeria. So, the talk of inflation will come down and rhe value of Naira will improve won't happen based on increase in remittance from diaspora.

You know why? Cause only a producing economy can bring about that. A industrialized country - a category which Nigeria currently doesn't fall into.

You said it's a long walk. I disagree. It's an impossible walk.

Proof of reform or proof of a dying economy?

Proof of reform or proof of a suffering people? These monies are not for investment but rather monies sent to loved ones from the diaspora. That means the cost of living has increased and begging has increased.


I really condemn in the strongest of terms how this government calls it's bad economic decisions reforms.

Pk01:
Haaa.. too late for you Mr rufai..I remember that year ..you re the first to increase university fees for the entire naija

First to increase university fees? Fashola and LASU was a joke to you right?

aswani:
Of course you are going to follow up this post with the link in Pandora papers where this information is, right?

We can't believe your words alone on this, nor vex you hear.

This is funny. So, you haven't even read the Pandora papers and you're shouting Pandora here and there.

Do something useful this once in your life and source for and read that report yourself.

When you finish reading it, then come back. But, then you'll not be able to come back cause the papers are as clear as they can be.

Smartwave:
Which statistics? But to pay for visa application is sweet?

Traveling tickets is not #10.
International passport is not for common men.

National Identity Card, is what is compulsory for everyone

Mr. Man, a passport is a basic thing.

Enice:
Oga stop writing rubbish! It's an executive order that doesn't require legislation

See the kind of rubbish you're saying online.

As far as the country is concerned, ALL expenditure must pass through legislation. The executive can't autonomously grant spending outside the budget.

This is supposed to be Govt for SS1 students.

Adetunde876:
Lagos generates most of the money. so it's fair that it gets more than others

Lagos does not generate most of the money.

90% of our revenue comes from oil. Just because Lagos generates the highest vat does mean it generates most of the money. The total vat generated by lagos is nothing compared to what is generated through oil.

aswani:
President Tinubu is not in there, neither is Atiku.

Whilst it is true that some corrupt politicians are not in there, you don't end up there if you are clean.

Adegboyega Oyetola: The Governor of Osun State was linked to a property transaction involving Tinubu's London mansion. Oyetola denied these allegations, stating he had no ties to the property or the involved parties.

Figures like Dangote and Adenuga were also mentioned.

aswani:
You can't be the cleanest anything if your name appears in Pandora papers, a worldwide expose on corrupt politicians all over the world.

The Pandora papers is not entirely a corruption expose. It's how rich people hide their wealth and avoid tax (which is not a crime) Not to mention that Tinubu also appeared in Pandora papers.

seunmsg:
Tell Peter Obi to sue me now. I’m waiting to meet him in court. If he can’t, you can sue me on his behalf.

Boy, you're inconsequential in the scheme of things.

Nobody is going to give you that popularity you so desperately seek.

The army did more than this during the Lekki toll gate massacre.

Anybody can shout "fake news!" But We know who is telling the truth and it's not the government.

RollinTNDA:
If the attack is from nimc that means somebody in nimc is selling those data to hackers and exposing it will stop the profit.
Hence the attack allegedly

Fij don spoil market for somebody

The same IP address was behind it, and when I checked the IP, both on Cloudflare and on What’s My IP Address, it showed NIMC,” he added.

We have a reading problem in this country.

Boy, make sure you read before making a comment.

Is this not the same guy that screamed out that he is not Peter Obi's son?

This propaganda will not propagand sha.

When I passed through Niger, I said this exact thing.

States that are solvent should acquire lands from other states and use for farming.

Food security is a not on the exclusive list.

franugo:
How is his comment a troll?

I seriously don't understand how that guy enjoys being a nairaland celebrity.

It's a public forum for God's sake. There's a quote button there for a reason. If someone quotes you it's not a troll.

zero8zero:
Go school you said No permanent l






Dude, do you realize Brazil is a top ten world economy?, do you go to school at all?. Why does it take us this long?. Have you ever been to Brazil?. Do you have an idea what direct flight means to exporters and entrepreneurs?. You need exposure.

You're the one that actually need to go to school. An MOU is not a contract
It is not implementable. It's just ceremonial.

Ómó, please speak on what you know.

INEC delayed too long on this matter.

APC folks, over to you.
