You are not far from the truth. They have some coded drinking bars , strip clubs there.

But most Nigerians Muslims see them as holy , especially our confused north Muslims .

Thy don't even know anything. The lifestyle of the opulent in Saudi is beyond depraved-luxurious.

Peaceful religion. She knew what she's doing wasn't right

What was wrong with it? There was nothing lewd about it.
Or are both music nd dancing haram?

Please dont you dare ever say that Islam is a peaceful religion in your life again otherwise I will send a delegation of persistent slappers to your house to take up residence in your bedroom for the next seven and half years and one day, without removing their sharp spiked rings in the entire period.

I know for a fact that they have night clubs and brothels in the basements beneath some mosques in Saudi Arabia.

Oburu202:
Yeye. Dancing is not the facing this world. People are dying of hunger, insecurities, crimes, etc.

Yet you are worried about a dance? Getaway!

Very gentle conservative dance for that matter.

Religion ehn?

Nothing can compete with it in terms of rendering people daft.
The only things that come close are political, racial and ethnic prejudices.

In one year this government has taken three steps which drive high inflation.

Subsidy removal, floating the naira and increasing electricity tariffs.

Don't go chasing Paul for what Simon has caused.

I remember during the oshiomhole saga saying we are setting bad precedent.two executives will announce they have suspended the national chairman of a political party and the state high court will issue an interim order,this nonsense started with oshiomhole.

The PDP is in crisis today, because of this same supposed ward suspension and an high court order.The one in Kano is such a case that a governor of a political party known only in Kano wants to remove the national chairman of a ruling party.To remove a national chairman is very difficult that's why they always resigned during when PDP held away at the federal.

Personally,I don't like Ganduje and i don't mind the EFCC prosecuting him for that viral dollar video.He even messed up during the last APC guber primary.Those of us in APC Edo known how he disgraced himself during the primary.However,i want the president to put an end to this nonsense of two or three ward executives announcing suspension of national chairman and then approaching high court for interim order to remove national chairman.

My dear, sometimes, when a person is far too obnoxious, the means deployed to kick him to the trash can can be ignored, no matter how illegal or improper.

Very good salient points.

Anytime anyone of your friends or family members is doing a party, attend it and spray as much Naira as you can afford there. Then get someone to video it, and then send it to EFCC on their social media handles. And when they eventually arrests and arraigns you for prosecution, then you or your lawyer should plead these your salient points in court on your behalf. Your escape might set a precedent for other subsequent victims of this invasive law by government.

You are a wicked soul.

At the bolded, the logic behind taking the dollar from 700 naira to 1900naira and the resultant outcome is all that matters, when it was 700, it was being heavily subsidized and Nigeria was basically sponsoring neighbouring countries through the fuel subsidy. The money needed to develop infrastructure were being used to subsidize fuel and we even started borrowing to meet up with subsidy payment. While you and I were getting deeply indebted due to the subsidized fuel, it was flavouring the rich as they have more cars and neighboring countries too who now turn around to tell us waka.

We were basically mortgaging our future to buy cheap fuel , but now with Tinubus reforms we are set free from subsidy induced indebtedness while the dollar value will still get lower and lower.
Borrowing to pay fuel subsidy is foolishness and counterproductive, we can borrow to develop infrastructure instead, a little bit of analysis is all you need to understand all this. Tinubu will develop Nigeria by God's grace, let's give him a chance

Sadly what you dont understand is the following -

1. There is ordinarily nothing wrong with subsidy - except the fact that it became corruptly bloated. The corruption , not the subsidy was the problem. To see this, simply reflect on the fact that the cost of subsidy jumped from under N300 billion to over 6 Trillion in a few short years. That should tell you everything you need to know - and show you that it was all about corruption. The subsidy was not the problem, Corruption was.

2. If you think monies saved from subsidy removal will be saved for infrastructure you simply dont know your country. Such monies will simply be stolen. That is exactly what is going to happen - just as with looted funds which are returned to Nigeria - they are only re-looted.

Both the subsidy removal and naira floatation were very ill thought out and worse, badly implemented.

If we are in Abuja and we put money together and find alternative sources like Benue, Nasarawa or Plateau to buy these goods directly and cutting off the Abuja sellers, what would that do to demand from the Abuja sellers? If they do not want to lose, they'd be forced to review prices. We saw this in the Lagos-London route.

You are still missing the point. The point is that in major urban areas such efforts will not register in terms of demand. The demand figures operate in figures too high for such measures by small communities to have any impact. That is the point.

Gated estates neighbours, friends, church members, lecturers, club members, workers unions, drivers, students and small associations can come together and even have an umbrella union.

Try to look beyond your nose. I don't know how old you are, but this type of thing happens among lecturers now. Instead of going to the market, they contribute money and buy goods to share.

As a union, we can also start our own cooopetative within Nairaland to buy and sell.

Deceive yourself.

The aspect of putting money together is ok but that will do nothing to bring prices down in big towns.

Welcome to Tinubumonics,the only Nigerian President to Bring down the Dollar,also Crashing the price of Petrol,Diesel, Aviation Fuel and Kerosene.
I keep saying The battle for the Soul of Nigeria has started,and I'm sure Asiwaju will triumph.
Asiwaju is a Genius and he has assembled a stellar cast of very intelligent people around him.
Some months ago, precisely in December when one of his advisers said the Price of the Dollar will crash to around 800-950, some Nigerians made fun of him and taunted him,but Today his prophecy is being proved Right.
I daresay Shame on those prophets of Baal who were predicting 2000 to a Dollar,and I prophesie it's just the beginning.
Some days ago, the NNPCL made an earth shaking announcement that didn't really gain traction as I expected,Crude oil sales will soon be done in a combination of Naira and Dollars,this is what I call the Final coffin in the Nail of Dollar speculators.
Buying Crude oil in Naira is what I call a game changer,the Modular refineries will soon start roaring to life,and I daresay Diesel, Aviation fuel will soon fall to less than 700 naira.
The demand by these Refineries for Usd is gone and this will allow more forex to remain in the Country.
For those still listening to Olodo Economist like Aisha Yesufu,I implore you to quickly dispose of your Dollars if you are a speculator,the fall of the Dollar will be massive and heart wrenching.
Nigeria is back to Business.
God bless Asiwaju
God bless Nigeria.

You meet a price at 700, increase it to 1900 and your iddiot supporters praise you as a genius for reducing it to 1000. Daft, they can't see that all that has happened is an increase.

How daft must you be to fail to see that the government has simply swallowed it's vomit and is now defending the naira, contrary to its stupid decision to float it?

emkz:


Price hike of commodities had nothing to do with exchange rate in the first place. Sellers just used it as an excuse to hike prices. It is similar to landlords who increase rent of tenants when they hear that minimum wage has been increased.

Most of the goods have no dollar component, but sellers hike prices anyway.

Some of these sellers have associations and cooperatives where they decide to hike prices. Any seller who does not heed is blacklisted. Consumers should have such associations too. They can decide to contribute money and buy the things they need in bulk from village markets and share them. They can also forgo some items whose prices are hiked to force the sellers to drop prices. Social media can be used to have that conversation. Customers have the powers to kill the businesses of those sellers. They just don't know.

Not in an urban area. In what major city can consumers come together like this. You clearly live on a rock in the countryside.

Although this news is from Bloomberg, I will thread with caution in believing this report.
Although I don't hide the fact that I'm a Supporter of Asiwaju and Nigeria, I'm also a believer of Facts over emotions.
There's a coordinated attempt to disparage the gains made recently by the Naira,and I believe the narrative is being slanted to meet the desires of very few greedy Nigerians.
First,is the recent noise by some people led by Nasiru El-Rufai that Subsidy is back,thereafter the CEO of Rain oil without any scientific data other than correlating the pump price of Diesel with Petrol, trumpeted that Nigeria is paying a Subsidy of 600 billion every month,Habaaaa you wonder the kind of Business man that CEO is.
Next is the deliberate fear being created that CBN governor is defending the Naira by dipping his hands into the Foreign reserve,Habbbba how's selling less than 60 million Dollars enough to dip the Foreign Reserve of Nigeria by over 2 billion Dollars.
I repeat the National Security Adviser should begin to treat these People as Economic Terriorist,all they are doing is speculating and trying to force the value of the Naira down.
Although they believe all Nigerians are lazy but we will counter them with our own figures,last month OPEC told us Nigeria's oil production dropped to around 1.3m barrels per day,since Oil is our biggest earner,the revenue from oil sales dropped drastically and that affected the foreign reserve.
Again I will keep going back to our budget,the total earning without oil Subsidy for 2024 is around 10 trillion naira,if these people claim Subsidy is back in full,then Nigeria is in Big trouble because there wasn't any provisions for Subsidy in the 2024 budget,like the Rainoil CEO used some abracadabra figures to support his figures,any payment of Subsidy will cause inflation to raise to 100% cos we will go back to printing money to run the Economy.
I believe Nigeria is on the right path,all these Economic Terriorist and Bandits are just trying to instill fear in our minds,anybody paying for subsidy should be treated as a criminal and handed over to the EFCC, payment of Subsidy is a fraud Against the people of Nigeria.
I'm sure Nigerians will not bulge to these Economic Terrorist and fear mongers, currency speculators and economic sabos,.
Onward forever is our motto, Asiwaju is taking this country to a better place and it will be right in front of the nay sayers.
God bless Nigeria.

Well it's obvious some subsidy is being paid because there is no way the dollar would have risen as it did without affecting the landing cost of PMS.

Therefore under your recommendation the president should be prosecuted as only he can authorize such payments.

Electrochemistry:
Iran has exposed their weakness by launching projectiles that travels for hours in the air so much that 99.9 per cent were intercepted by technologically superior Israel.

The main fear isn't weather Israel can subdue the learner, Iran or cause an escalation in the middle east. But the danger of degenerating into a full war involving humanity as a whole.

It isn't going to be fun when this added to our already messy economy and the global community.

You see ehn, the major world powers are wiser than that. None of them will throw their hat into the ring. At best they will send weapons and money to whatever side they support, shikena.

Can't you see the way they have avoided entering Ukraine?

Make I no lie. Lagos is doing well

You have to understand that Lagos is not just a state. It is much more than that, and frankly comparing it to other states in Nigeria is not comparing apples for apples. It is almost analogous to trying to compare other cities in Nigeria (other than Lagos) to Abuja and assessing them based on the development in Abuja. It simply isn't apples for apples. Just as Abuja is the political capital of Nigeria, Lagos is its economic capital. To give you some idea of how significant that difference is, just take a look at the amount of Federal Tax offices in Lagos as opposed to the rest of the country. Look here -

https://www.firs.gov.ng/office-locator/

That should tell you a lot about the significance of Lagos as an economic nerve centre.

EMILO2STAY:
you are just trying hard to convince yourself of whats not true.see what the bible says about all you just wrote.

2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away;
behold, the new has come.

Romans 8:1 ESV
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

I can bring more quotes but I think these two has done justice enough to nullify all you wrote up there and all the bible verses you quoted.


whats different standards are you talking about? is it not fare that people are judged according to what is applicable at there own time and knowledge. the bibel says for with the law comes the knowledge of sin romans 7:7-9, romans 30:21. so all those who have known the law will be judged by it and all who have not kown will be judged outside of it. nothing can fairer nor more just than that.

your just grasping at straws...

So some bible verses cancel other bible verses. Very good.

amaridigital:


Elrufai is late to the dinner table. Who cares if there is subsidy? Obedients and Atikulators were crying that the time for the subsidy removal was wrong anyway so who cares? It now occurs to El Rufai that the Government seems to be getting few things right and the economy will improve, thus, his cheap jab at the Government for paying subsidy. Na today day break?
A word of advice for Elrufai. I expect you to form an unholy alliance with the obedience and their yes daddy principal plus the Dubai landlord immediately in opposition to the Tinubu Government. I want to really check something. You have seen the handwriting on the wall and nobody is hiding it. This is truly Emilokan Government with the mandate to transform the nation. This is the Government of omoluabis and other patriotic Nigerians who wish the country well. I want to tell you one secret Mr Elrufai including the unfriendly friends of Nigeria and the emergency lovers of Nigeria. We the Yorubas above the age of 40 years knows that this will be the only Government headed by a Yoruba we will witness in our lifetime and we are glad Tinubu gave us enough Representative opportunities in this Government. We can beat our chest that if Tinubu fails, the whole Yoruba nation fail. We do not expect another Yoruba led Government until 2055 except their is military intervention or a return to regional Government which is unlikely .That's why all Yoruba technocrats, industrialists, Traditional leaders, Religious leaders, those in the diaspora, entertainers and all of us must join hands together to deploy everything we've got to make this project work. I'm sure friends of the Yorubas across the nation will support us while our sworn enemies will wish we fall. There's a lot at stake. Elrufai is fighting a battle bigger than himself. The only alternative to a united and prosperous Nigeria is a broken or fragmented one and for your information, we are equally prepared for that if that is what it takes. You will be surprised.

We don hear, but please and please let "your" government do something about inflation. Its killing the people.
