What is wrong with simply looking at the GDP in 2015 and the GDP now.
And commodity prices in 2015 and commodity prices now?

Don't let any sorry opposition deceive you that they will do better. They are just like those boys promising a girl just the tip.

I have to conclude you may have adopted your stance on account of tribe.

Despite the naira devaluation, the foreign direct investment is still abysmally low.

Hopefully, the new tax law regime will attract foreign investors .

But balablu and his goons must fix our security challenges and embark on massive infrastructural development.

Else we will just be beating about the jungle.

BAT's IMF inspired reforms were only ever going to achieve recession, starvation and poverty. It will not change even if implemented for fifty years.

Probably you have a different meaning and idea of resist to what i clearly stated as resisting or forceful, hostile, takeover-like protests.

You are introducing your personal definition which the bible did not give.

At least, he can deliver Kano and influence things in the NW. As it stands, Shetima’s governor and Senator have declared war against the administration in which Shettima is the vice president.

Oga we are still waiting for one thing - just one thing in which you disagree with the Tinubu administration on.

Mr Putin already said quite a substantial amount of Russians live in Israel about 3 million.

So logically it won't be wise to want to harm her citizens there.

How will an air defense system harm people in Israel?

No rigmarole, you said "faithfully supporting," i didn't say that. Christians don't wrestle against flesh and blood. You cooperate with any leader and Caesar as far as it doesn't involve sin as clearly stated in the Bible. We obey God rather than men. So if Hitler says there's a census, or election, or pay tax and utilities bill, you do so and pray for him. This is Bible. If he says go and steal, or fornicate, or worship idols, be a Daniel.

1Ti 2:1 KJV I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1Ti 2:2 KJV For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
1Ti 2:3 KJV For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

You are contradicting yourself. You are saying effectively that you can rightly resist Hitler.

If you overstayed a visa in the past but later legalized your status properly (e.g., through marriage, asylum, adjustment of status) and eventually became a U.S. citizen lawfully, your past overstay does not automatically put your citizenship at risk.
Hope you have learnt something today?

Did I say automatically? I said he could he queried. Hope you have learnt how to read today.

If you are on the good side of the law, you have nothing to fear. Elon Musk is an immigrant who voted for Trump, but he has nothing to fear because he came in the right way. Learn to do right. I understand that as a Nigerian, you are accustomed to breaking the law and taking shortcuts, but it doesn't always work out.

Elon Musk overstayed illegally after his student visa expired and this was how he eventually got his citizenship so he can be queried.

SalamRushdie:
This is totally alarmist and sensational lies ...The US is saying you can be denaturalised if you are found guilty of certain crimes like terrorism, antisemitism, extrajudicial Killings , human sacrifice and many other gory crimes ..If you don't have you hands in such dirty things then you have nothing to fear

The problem with anti-Semitism being listed there is that even normal criticism of Israel or her leaders or her actions is branded anti-Semitism.

Image123:
No, you talked about "faithfully supporting," which is different from resisting. The God-fearing should be subject and, of course, not be involved in resisting or forceful, hostile, takeover-like protests.

No need for rigmarole.

So in short, if Hitler is your leader, don't resist. That simply means comply, cooperate, obey. Don't make any attempt to see him out of that position no matter how peaceful, don't do anything against his wish, don't resist even his evil commands. No be so?

Image123:
Add Nero to the list. i didn't mention anything about faithful support. Read again.

Rom 13:1 KJV Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Rom 13:2 KJV Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

We are saying the same thing. So the God fearing should not resist such leaders?

classicfrank4u:
Exactly!! That's why the reps are kicking against it

You don't understand. As a govt apologist he is saying it is a lie. Cannot be true.

My underpinning for decades.

By this token, leaders such as Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Mobutu, Abacha and all the worst leaders throughout history should have been faithfully supported by all God fearing people right?

It was 180, 000 I wanted to write anyway, but the central message is that even if they are 50,000; they do something better and never underrate any country no matter how small. Weather Nigeria is sixth or 3rd is not the issue, the issue is that we are so small compare to India and china in billions, of they hold your type of perverted mindset.

You couldn't answer question on if the meeting was held in your room for you to get the information. I don't know why many of you like turning assumption to reality and you are trying to sell your false assumption on other sensible people for us to believe it as a fact without you presenting any verifiable evidences that you knew what you are talking about.

If you are picked up by DSS now for relaying and spreading lies online, you will expect me and others to waste our time to hold placard "FREE YOU", right? You better stop accommodating hatred in your heart so that many bad thoughts will not be and mere assumption will not turn your mind to a play ground for filthy thought.

Continue deceiving yourself.
The fact that you even mention being picked up by DSS for such legitimate conversations and concerns just shows your mindset.

Do you know who Gilbert Chagouri is? I mentioned him and you were silent on that.

Enjoy worshipping those who exploit you.

Since the meeting of laundering discussion took place in your house, then come out publicly to blow the trumpet louder, otherwise; you are more corrupt than him. Carry all your verifiable information and your CCTV footage when the discussion was going on for money laundering in your house and present to the court or sell the information to your LP or Obi or Atiku so that Obi can become president tomorrow. When everything that comes from your mind is hatred towards him, there is no way bad thought will not be holding conference meetings in your corrupted mind.

If Nigerian population compared to China and India that are above billions in population is significant to China/India, then be rest assured that 800,000 of a sovereign country is far more significant for Nigeria as well. No matter how small the highland may be, there is something they get better than Nigeria that can be benefited. Never despise any country no matter how small you think they are

St. Lucia doesnt have a population of 800k. Its population is 180k.
Let that sink in.

I hope you know Gilbert Chagouri his partner is the Honourary Consul of St. Lucia to the Vatican. For those of you who do not know, Chagouri has been convicted of fraud in two countries - the USA and Switzerland.

If you wish, analyse with wisdom. If you wish, do not.

Oh, and with regard to the comparison to China and India. I hope you know our population of 230 million is almost twenty percent of the populations of those countries. Besides, we are, at that figure, among the most populous countries in the world.

Nigeria is exactly the sixth most populous country in the world! There are only five countries ahead of us! By contrast, the population of St. Lucia is 0.07826% of the population of Nigeria. Not even up to one per cent!

So, Nigeria should not meet China and India because our population is insignificant compared to their own, right? You better come down from the ladder of hatred and arrogance, Tinubu is your president till 2031. You can only make noise, you can't bite

Ride on.
If you think he went there to fetch you FDI and improve Nigeria's global standing, you must be something of a clown.
If you dont know that he's gone on a money laundering mission, that's your business.

And oh, a population of 230 million is not insignificant anywhere.

Oh i just rechecked, we're talking of two different things, you about GDP, me about GDP growth.
https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/profile/NGA

This was clearly expected with the reset (forex subsidy removal or floatation). If government subsidizes dollar today, the figures immediately changes. i guess you are chasing numbers, i look for a country with real permanent positive change. i admit there are pains, but i support the removal of the subsidy. i knew and any educated person knew it would come with the initial hardship, regardless of who removed it. i wish it had been removed earlier but there was lack of will. Here we are and it is what it is.
BTW, i wasn't in love or fully supportive of Tinubu until i saw the options if not him, and saw him doing what i have always prayed for Nigeria to have.

The notion that subsidy was bad and necessarily had to be removed was nothing but Bretton Woods propaganda which is nothing new - it has existed for decades and every single time it has been implemented by third world countries has only led to greater poverty and recession. What needed to be addressed was the corruption in the subsidy system. A subsidy that ballooned from under N300 billion to over N7 Trillion in just a few years shows nothing but magnificent corruption on a cosmic scale by and within the government. That is what needed to be addressed - the corruption.

Today, you can rest assured that whatever is claimed to be have been saved from the so called subsidy removal will simply be looted. And if you dont know that about Nigeria, then you are a novice about this country.

As regards naira floatation this is also another Bretton Woods piece of poverty inducing manipulation. An import depedent economy cannot afford to devalue its currency the way we did. Same thing has been done repeatedly by countries being advised by the IMF. It always leads to the same result - recession, starvation and poverty. Only an exporting and industrially robust economy can do that profitably. If you are import dependent the way Nigeria is, it is economic suicide to devalue your currency. You must defend it to some extent still until you can compete properly in the international market.

Bola Tinubu has easily been the worst president in the history of Nigeria and the only ways he will win in 2027 are (1) Mass rigging and/ or (2) Oposition disunity.

LordReed:
Because spiritual is generally defined as nonphysical, nonmaterial phenomenon. This is opposed to natural things which are physical or material based phenomenon. Spiritual things are said to be independent of natural things so it is impossible that it both spiritual and natural.

Very well. Perhaps we have different takes on some words. For me, all things are natural. There is, in fact, nothing like "supernatural." Even GOD ITSELF, if or where IT exists, can only be natural. So for me, the words "natural" and "physical" are neither synonymous nor coterminus.

For me, to say that something is natural is almost like saying it is what exists by default, or is the basic, normal, logical way in which a thing happens, functions or exists. This is entiely different from saying that a thing is physical or non physical.

Because there are non physical things which are natural.

Examples are thoughts, time, information, numbers and many others.

LordReed:
LoLz. No offense but this is a nonsensical statement. A thing cannot be 2 mutually exclusive things at the same time.

How are nature and spirituality mutually exclusive?

Why is Reno always famzing the north?

When did the north ever recognize him as one of their trusted advisers

He will not advise his fellow Itshekiri on who to vote for. He wil be advising people who can't even pronounce his name

Nor be ment be dat?

I swear this guy is headed for a psychiatric hospital. Mark my words.

SmartyPants:
Sort out your comprehension first, coz I can't be explaining myself over and over.

Ol boy its your own comprehension and even reading of basic grammar that has been an unqualified disaster today, no offense.

Kukutente23:
It is you who simply do not understand how Nigerian politicians think or arrive at decision. If you think a political giant like Atiku will sit down to ask a Reno for advice on who should be his Vice, then you need to speak less and listen more in this section. It is not about qualification. It is about clout, influence and strongmanship none of which Reno possesses. May I remind you that Reno's main grouse with Obidients is their refusal to listen to his advice to support Atiku and not Obi because he believed Obi does not have the necessary clout and structure to run and win. Go back and check his 2022 tweets. His present suport for Tinubu is borne out of two things: frustration and spite.

Can you kindly explain how that mail implies that Obi is asking Reno to help him convince Atiku to pick him as Vice. Just outline the specific portions that support that inference.
And this is without prejudice to the fact that Reno has been posturing as if he is a confidante of Atiku which anyone that knows anything know that he's not!

He cant do the bold.

Kukutente23:
Loool. Reno was not even GEJ's official spokesman. That was Reuben Abati. Reno's beat was mainly socia media engagements. Even Doyin Okupe was higher than him in rank. That's who you think has enough clout to nominate a VP. Are you joking or you're trolling? Even Abati his boss does not have enough clout to nominate a VP not to mention Reno. Heck... even Femi Adesina does not! You simply don't know what you're typing

Smartypants has shocked me today. I rated him far higher than this.

Image123:
We've had GDP growth, not reduced GDP.

Are you joking here?

Nigeria's GDP as at the end of 2022 was $477.40 billion US dollars.
It fell to $181.26 billion USD by the end of 2024.

Are you hgh or something?

What exactly is wrong with some of you? As in, you just wake up and spew the most blatant and most absurd lies just because you are in love with a clearly corrupt leader?

States get more than double their allocation

This is meaningless on account of the devaluation of the naira and the radical inflation, the real value remains the same or less.

Image123:
Nigerians are quite forgetful and forgiving, and we have a president smart enough to know that. A people calling military rule, OBJ, Yar’Adua and GEJ government great. Some like you even call Buhari more preferable. The point is, Nigerians soon forget. Even in 2023 with the CBN cashless home goal and all they said about APC, Tinubu still pulled the numbers in states lost and won 12 states. Politics is a game of numbers, you surely must be hearing about the weekly defections of opposition politicians to the APC.
Hardship will not matter in 2027 because the effects of forex and fuel subsidy removal are already showing. Those are the main root causes of the hardship BTW. There'll be no wasting of votes or senseless votes based on fear of muslin ticket, Lagos, FCT, Osun, Kaduna and Kano are likely going to APC from the look of things. The South South would give a better outing with all their governors now APC.
