PEACE2023:
Can you employ someone with 2.2?

But your senators only need a primary school certificate to be in the national assembly?

Wealthoptulent:
One day
E get one couple in SA i do watch on Nat GeoWide they are into snake capturing. I hope one day ....hmm!

Those are more careful.

Allergic to anti venom and still would not use your sense to deal with snakes.

...like he conducted the election without the approvals of the then Military President?
Nwosu did nothing. Babangida had to allow the election to take place due to pressures both from within and outside Nigeria.
And as you can see, he had another plan.
I may not be old enough to vote then, but I always read the newspapers and watch news.

dominique:
The punishment is very mild IMO. They should have been fined at least $100k and banned from playing any home games in their country for at least 2 years.

Especially the ban on playing home matches on their home soil for some years.

deogratiasfxtv:
Nigeria has not qualified yet; even Libya can still qualify.

This is a joke right? How many games do you think they have left to play?

She must have done something really right. These civil servants are worse than our politicians.

Kinzo0917:
Houses are scare in my area in kubwa and very expensive. Reason they do those rubbish

Oh, you're even in Kubwa. I thought such wickedness is only heard in Lagos.
If it's not very strategic for your work, it's better to move to another place. Increasing rent at that rate is not sustainable for anyone.

Kinzo0917:
The woman is clueless and wicked

Increasing rent in space of 6 month

The same thing will be done to his or her children

Is it even legal to do that?

Kinzo0917:
What if u are in Abuja and a civil servant. What are you gonna do?

My landlord just increased mine today to 350k after earlier increasing this year February from 150k to 170k

Just because she heard minimum wage has been increased. Not that government has started paying the new minimum wage to workers in fct

Better to leave her house for your own sanity. How can someone increase rent by 100%?

Dainy1:
This country is becoming something else. With the current high house rent increase and bills, we pray we survive it.

I was just thinking out loud. For someone earning 100k salary monthly, staying in 650k-800k house, what's your strategy towards your house rent payment?
Knowing that you still have more bills to cater for monthly.

How do you save? What percentage do you save in a month?

With the little Salary been paid, Salary earners, how do you plan towards your current house rent payment?

A colleague was joking telling us, he's considering relocating to the village to start farming and staying in a free family apartment........hmmmmm

Earning 100k and living in a 650k apartment? Just tell your company to be paying your salary into your landlord's account.

IniobongEno:
All thanks to the satanic APC. Just to chase Jonathan out of office.

There's no APC at the time. Stop deceiving yourself. There has never been a time since the the return to democracy in 1999 when Nigeria is anywhere near secured.

IniobongEno:
Back them it was only in Borno state and few other areas, until APC started using it for political reasons.

Churches were even afraid to open on Sundays because of bombings. Security situations escalated during Jonathan era.

Fuel Price Hike: Reps ask FG to introduce “targeted subsidies” on petrol, cooking gas


Last week, the pump price of petrol rose to N998 and N1,030 per litre after NNPC Limited announced the end of the sole off-taker arrangement with the Dangote Refinery.

The National Assembly can also do that one from their bloated budget. Mumu people.

mrvitalis:
Corruption has never been a problem to us ... It's effect is overblown... Yes it's harmful but not really the main issue

Number one issue is our revenue is too poor for a country of 200 million people making less than 20 billion dollars per year? That's a joke

Why is that? Because we are not productive enough, and why are we not productive enough we lack access to capital

Solution Borrow , give to your best brains in areas we have comparative advantage in, they grow pay more tax, employ more people that pay more tad, they repay the loans we repay our debtors

This hopefully can kick start the economic growth

This is what Obi is saying... I wonder why it's difficult for you all to understand

Corruption is a major problem. If you factor in the amount of money that have been stolen and mismanaged over the years, you'll understand why we are where we are now.
It's one thing to earn well, it's another thing to utilize it judiciously.
There was a time in this country when we had more than enough to go round, but instead of investing the excess on something meaningful, our leaders were busy "giving wife allowances to students, just in case they're married".

phantom:
Exactly! That's why I was insistent on the definition of "infrastructure ".

Infrastructure is not only physical things like roads and bridges

I don't know why most people erroneously think infrastructure is just road and bridges.
I'm surprised he mentioned investments in education while trying to explain why infrastructural development is the most important thing.

mrvitalis:
No nation can get great without infrastructure but borrowing to build infrastructure is foolishness

Every family needs a family car or home but borrowing to buy them is foolishness

Think of it like this: A young man in his late teens had a chance to build houses, buy cars, and make other meaningful investments, but choose to spend that on olosho, expensive wears and exotic drinks. He's 64 years old now with many mouths to feed and lots of responsibilities, and now trying to borrow to achieve what he could have achieved when he was single.
That's our story. We had our chances, but we blew it. As if that's not enough, we've still not learned anything from our past . Even the little we're still making (it's little compared to our size), some few individuals are still living large on it.
The only thing that breaks my heart is: why would any public servant be earning more than 2 million naira monthly (all allowances inclusive)?
This is why I believe we need a reset to salvage the situation.
Take away the corruption and wastages, this government is doing the right thing.
I'm currently in Rwanda. Things are generally more expensive, they pay more taxes and they're largely consumer nations, but but their government is doing the right thing.

mrvitalis:
Every successful economy started with infrastructure? That's a big lie

Lets take a look at China they started by educating their people, funding local businesses before building infrastructure

You don't grow an economy by using borrowed money to build infrastructure

In fact let's take two village

Village A

Gets 20 billion... Use it to build all the roads, build school, hospitals and markets

Village B

Gets 20 billion, doesn't do any infrastructure projects..but . Support it's people to

Build a cassava processing plants
Pall oil processing plants
Rice mills
Shoe factory
And many other businesses


After 10 years which village would be better off answer sincerely

Just wanted to point out that investment in education is a capital intensive infrastructure.
Our government maybe be investing in the wrong infrastructural development, no nation can be great without it.

descarado:
But saying the truth.
We eat so much carb we think it's enjoyment.
Who big belle and fat bum and breast elp.

People that studies food and nutrition,personal trainers, gym freaks, even healthcare practitioners, where are they.
We need re-orientation.

Follow all the dietary theories all you want, you can't still add a single seconds to your lifespan.
Maybe you don't know eating alot of carbohydrates is not the cause of diabetes or potbelly.
Eating alot of fruits and vegetables are good, but carbohydrates remains the primary source of energy for the body. There's a reason they said balanced diet and I don't know any normal human will see a meal made from a combination of plantains, yam, fresh fish and say it's bad for your health.
Anyone nursing diabetes should not disturb us with the details.

discusant:
But killing all Hamas and Hizbollah leaders is no ending to the Arab-Israeli vonflict. A comprehensive peace plan is what will end the conflict. New Hamas leadership must be persuaded to accept the existence of the state of Isral.

After 6 attempts of rejecting a 2-state solution, I don't think the so-called Palestinians will accept the existence of Israel.

I don't even know the problem with this man.
What exactly is going on? Is there anything he forgot in Rivers State government house that Fubara didn't allow him to take, because I don't understand?
If I were Tinubu, I'll sack him immediately, so he'll have all the time he needs to fight the current governor.
Let's even assume he did you dirty, must you take revenge immediately? Is 2007 too far?
Tinubu disgraced Ambode without this kinda of unnecessary attention. I don't like people like this man.

YorubaDemonswag:
You would have make more sense if you don't follow jesus and jehovah,now you look more stupid than him.

I don't think it should be your purpose in life to care what or who people worship.
Jesus nor Jehovah not responsible for your failings in life.

YorubaDemonswag:
Can't you keep Yoruba out of your wawa miserable life? You can diss Muslim,Allah and Muhammed as you like but keep Yoruba out of your stinky mouth if you don't want Ogun to kill your useless jesus and jehovah.

You would have made sense if you didn't mention Jesus and Jehovah. Now you both sound like fools.

Revenge is best served cold.
If you're a Mafia, you'll understand what that means.

Something that'll benefit the community in the long-run. Most Nigerians have no foresight.

Good luck to you guys. You people are not ready to address anything yet with these demands.
Inflation and rising prices has never been our problem in this country.

Basicend:
So if Libya can subsidize to make life better for it's citizens, what is the excuse of our useless govt?

I responded to the buying fuel from Libya when we know it's heavily subsidize.
When you become the President, you can decide to give fuel for free. Things to keep in mind:
1. Libya is a nation of just 7 million people earning as much (if not more) as Nigeria of 200million people in oil revenue.
2. You guys can't keep breeding like rats without commensurate increase in revenue and expect the quality of life to improve. If you have a family of 8 and earning 500k, trying to do same thing a family of 3 who earns same income, does will put you in serious debts. It's that simple.
3. My only problem with our government is wasteful spending and embezzlement. All of you in that country are self-serving hypocrites who would do worse than people they criticize if given the opportunity.
We Nigerians have high tendencies to abuse privileges, no matter how little it is. From cleaners, to gatemen, from pump attendants to pos operators, from market women to people working in the office. These people would frustrate you with the little edge they have over you at any given opportunity, but somehow we expect people we elected into higher offices to act differently?
Sorry, it's not possible for bad people to have good government. Same thing is true for good people. They can't have bad people governing them. We are the reflection of our leaders.
I can bet everything I have that you won't revert to the old pump if given the opportunity today, so look in the mirror when calling your leaders useless.

LandMann:
So why is Nigeria importers not importing from Libya?

Why import from Malta and Europe at costlier price?

So Libya should sell to Nigeria at subsidized rate?

N3TRAL:
Let’s be honest, if we adhere to the principle that non-performance should lead to removal, the people of Edo made a sound decision. They chose to vote out the PDP, which fell short on its campaign promises.

Ask any random person from Edo State, and they’ll likely tell you that Adams Oshiomole of the APC stands as the best-performing governor in the state's history.

While I personally disdain the mediocrity of the newly elected governor, I can understand the rationale behind Edo’s electoral decision.

You already know the newly elected governor is a mediocre, even before taking the oath of office? What is mediocrity?

Emeskhalifa:
My question is, why can't they stop the people blowing up rocks in that place?

I don't think any company does that there anymore.
