you have the right to feel entitled to cheap petrol seeing Nigeria is a petroleum country, but remember the rice farmers, and how they used the intl price of rice as benchmark for their harvest, even after enjoying the lion's share of govt support to agric.

And what school of thought compels you to feel "expensive" should be an "ideal" .. you sound like it and thats what APC ideology seems to resonate, life must be hard, things must be expensive thats the only way

I can't blame farmers that are risking there lives and paying levies to bandits just to access there farm lands, beside whats the proof govt audio support get to the farmers, we are talking about an Apc govt that spent billions to feed school children no one saw ... even not a single parent can relate

The fact that Tinubu govt is so endear to rice as palliative is enough catalyst for "hike" ... moreso placing a ban on imported rice automatically triggers a surge in demand for alternates, high demand spike prices there is nothing locals can do about it, these where a responsible govt comes in nd subsidize


Naa govt get junk of the blame however you look at it

Standing5:
That is what deregulation connotes but Nigerians like to believe it should much lower than that and of a fixed price.

Oga deregulation or not, Nigeria as an oil producing national should not be a push around to int'l market price.

it makes no sense global oil price boom is a burden to Nigerians, we cant celebrate rise we cant celebrate fall in int'l price, regulation my ass

Nigerians are right to believe pms price should be lower as a producing nation ... we just have the worst set of people ruling us

CodeTemplarr:
Not bad considering that crude price has gone up after the last petrol price reduction.

I thot the govt and expert were all claiming market competition influence the drop in price few weeks ago ...

Now it is convenient to acknowledge int'l market price as increase But when it dropped they feign unaware

ElSudani:
Perhaps your own personal economy is in comatose, we perfectly understand. Like individuals, there are times when a nation needs to take tough decisions in order to thrive and survive. That is what Nigeria is going through.

You guyz should shut the fvckup already "tough decision" my foot, are we suppose to forget under Buhari 8yrs Nigerians were fooled into " make sacrifices n endure". Was it not the same stupid lies APC used to justify and defend Buhari outstanding failures

How do you validate removal of subsidy as savings when in actual sense Nigeria is not better than where it was 2yrs ago

APc want to talk about "waste" .. how about buhari wasted 8yrs

how about Tinubu wasteful spending on opulence .. the aso renovation, private jet, exotic car and incessant trips abroads with entourage, total minus the subsidy amount saved how much remain

Queengee:
On the 15.02.2025, I'll be embarking on a journey of eternity with my best friend.

Thanks in advance for all the sweet words

All smiles !! on a 2nd thought just look at you, beautiful souls have nothing to fear,

AntiChristian:
The thread is about electricity not food!

If you are hungry go chop!

Ifunloran!

afofungbemu !

AntiChristian:
I still think our electricity is getting better! Especially in my area!

@i must support tinubu local govt

Jones4190:
Felix Morka was right about peter obi, You are beginning to sound like Tegwolo. It seems to me you are out there to shop for bad news.

Show us your own shopping basket, as if there is meaningful good news

RealityOfReason:
Will your respect develop Nigeria or create an environment where lives are dignified? Else STFU, you ass licker

No you shutup, A develop Nigeria does not resonate planning or innovating crowd management for almajiri lifestyle or orienting people for hardship

A govt that dignified lives of the people wont divert or pocket interventions/palliatives

RealityOfReason:
This is the exact kind of moronic mentality that has made Nigeria a wretched shithole. Subordination of the rule of law for nepotism (man knows man) and you wonder why things are upside down? The law should take it's course

On what grounds are these Organisers culpable citing the constitution

PulaPower:
Look at people that want a better Nigeria

how is punishing the innocent a trajectory for a better Nigeria.

if Govt have not failed in its responsibility will parent be throwing there kids over the fence cos of 5k

Curious345:
Normally she was probably sent the by the family to test your potency. The wife may be aware her mom could be aware so they assumed that if you have intimacy with her and she gets pregnant then you have passed.

No wife will live her sister in the house with her husband and travel and not expect the contrary.

Sometimes if the elder sister cannot get pregnant they send the younger sister or the cousin a trusted cousin to get pregnant to her behalf.

But when the husband cannot impregnate any of them then they assume there's a problem

complete gibberish

zero8zero:
You were already borrowing to pay subsidy . Tinubu saved your lazy ass.

@least when we know what we were borrowing for and felt the impact

Now Tinubu is collecting more loans, no accountability, no impact and we dont even know where these loans go

Ojuntana:
Recovery from what?
The economy was already growing at over 3% before you took office so it's not as if you took Nigeria from recession
Inflation has worsened since you took office
Interest rates have almost doubled and Nigerians are now paying more for living expenses than any time in history
Debts have increased
Dollar value of govt income has reduced
Unemployment has not improved either
Shall we talk about exchange rate that has plummeted?
So what exactly is the economy recovering from?
I think it's becoming obvious that these guys are taking Nigerians for a ride
They just throw around figures as they wish without any thought for what they said previously
N930bn is just about $930m while this man previously said $20bn was being used to subsidise fuel every year by the previous administration. So if $20bn was spent on subsidy, how come you're only able to save $930m out of $20bn? Where's the remaining $19.1bn?
I'm more convinced that these guys don't have any clue what they are doing with the economy!!

The most annoying thing for me is there academic resume, phd in harvard hiv in oxford But when you listen to any of them speak .. you wonder where is the school

outside govt/politics these people are intelligent but the moment dey work under politics ... smh

Dynamicboss:
FYA, only few millennials in their early 80’s gave birth to Gen Zs. Maybe you wanted to state Generation X who are most parents of Gen Z. Millennials gave birth more to Gen Alpha.

Besides, parenting doesn’t ascribe to any particular generation. It is a shared responsibility between father and mother to nurture their children to be well behaved from childhood. Will you say prophet Eli during Samuel era in the Bible that gave birth to two irresponsible children is Gen Y (millennials) ?

i like that you made a point and back it up, But if out of bible 80 books Eli wayward children are the only example you can cite ... i will give that generation an A

imagine we wan write bible now, do you know how many Eli children we have, infact there wont be space for jesus or david story talkless of solomon

crossfire:
Can we see how social media has made young nigeria to talk and act like moroons,every body is just commenting bullshit,have u guys sit-down to ask ,y wld young boy between the age of 19 n 21 just kill an Uber driver,u fools just concluded, have u guys gotten first hand information. People just come out to talk bullshit. Am not in support of the killing,but atleast people shld not just just into conclusion. Mumu children for nairaland

why not be the correction, be the detective and whatever excuse you find i hope it justifies

otipoju:
Spare the rod and spoil the child.

When kids are young that is when you can teach them anything. Once a child is twelve, its too late.

Our woke counter part will never agree ... they will say hire a therapist, dialogue or deny the child biscuit thats correction for 5yr old that steal schoolmate toy home

Stilloracle:
To God I'm having tears in my eyes just reading
this woman's interview. Same way i cried when I watched the video.
Like how on earth can U hit a child like that? Howwww What kind of devil is in your heart? I'm sitting here looking at my 5 years old son and imaging someone doing that shitt to him. .. may God let me not commit murder if such happen.
[b]My father used to hit me like this as a child. Till now i cant get over it [/b]I'm still traumatized. I hate him till now

Finally someone admit, i was beginning to feel like only me grew up in Nigeria, people are just acting like these things are new nd we dont watch parent beat there kids outside

your father did hit you rite, evaluating your life today are you a better person or his disciplinary action made you a terrible person.
i pray God gives you more grace to hate your father the more, e no concern us

Kobojunkie:
Whether you choose to term it a privilege —reward only available to those who qualify(earned privilege)— or you classify it as an incentive( a motivation for doing good work), the fact here is that these are ideas to help you raise your kids without needing to resort to violence. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Wow !! so caning or beating my child is now violence .... weytin person no go hear from our so called " Woke" elite

Incentives is to encourage a child to do beta it doesnt "correct" bad behaviour ... @these point i think you lack basis


look at the gen Z we have today mere chilling around dem you will know something is mixing in them, make una continue with fake lives on social media decieving yourselves

Kobojunkie:
1. I am afraid it can be just that simple. What I described earlier is just what the 6.5-year-old settles with. I didn't even say anything about what the 12-year-old accepts or the one older than that works for.

2. That is instead what you assume.

3. Even as far back as the 80's my own mother knew that she only needed to bribe me to golden morn, suya, or even a new book from the bookstore to get me to do chores at home. Again, Privileges can be as simple as I described. Ultimately, what most kids want is to know that they have your attention. If you are not able to afford the Nintendo Switch for instance, they will settle for a kid or a pizza if they know that you are at least thinking of them. 🤔

Oga i think you are mistaken incentives for privilege, in your context that "incentives

although privileges can act as incentives but incentives cant fully act as privilege

if its what any child next door can get, thats not privilege, like i said in the 90s maltina na privilege, our parent promise us bicycle, how many children around fit get that


For you just say incentives

Kobojunkie:
I currently use cake, sweets, candy, garri and ekpa, hot cocoa, noodles, and even fried eggs to bribe a 6-& half-year-old boy into doing his homework, chores, and being a good boy at home and at school. Those are just some of the privileges he enjoys when he does well and he works really hard to keep the goodies coming his way.

like seriously 🤣 thats raising a "Pikin"

Oga even if i dont know anything i know privileges are not "Basics" or regular things ... groundnut privilege kwa 🤣 noodle

privilege is getting what other children wont get on a normal day .. if noodles is a special treat that child should be with social service 🤣🤣
in the 90's gameboy, discman, mr biggs treat are privileges esp. drinking maltina your playmates that day

Kobojunkie:
Use myself as a case study how?

thought you knew "priviledges" beta... i was born in local Nigeria cant relate

Sulele04:
Your education is definitely a waste though, infact your case should corroborate that good education does not necessarily equate expensive education.

I mean see how you turned out, you don't think different from a motor park tout. There is literally no deductive or fact based reasoning in what you type just pure okoto moew gibberish of "na so them take train us oo".

Fooolll I am sure it was your type that justified killing of Twins by the Efik tribe after all nah so "out papa dey do"

Who gives a Bleep about what "Jesus christ" supposedly do, do everybody subscribe to the same bullshit beliefs as you. I say you be illiterate sef.

Infact I am sure you are one of those religious extremists that crucify people on how you think they should leave their life, meanwhile do all sort of terrible things behind close doors. I know your type se.

The abroad that you are talking about why don't you go and beat people's kid and claim that you are correcting them make you land for better prison & get child abuse record for your CV.

lol !! like you were literally shouting, beta check ur bP

I dont know what good the society or parent stand to benefit if discipline is abolished , we are in present society where parent hardly have time to monitor or raise there kids, if we serve a deterrence to teachers to the point they fear for there lives to correct a child ... it all coming back to backfire on us
i am a product of discipline and No amount of america accent or wokeness you feel can intimidate me.

i am africa i am Nigerian and i am fvcking proud of my heritage .. i dont copy copy whites cos i understand "Peculiarity"

Kobojunkie:
Nigerian parents are busier than parents in foreign countries where the suggested ideas are the norm?

2. Do you understand the meaning of the word privileges?

3. Huh?

I am open to sensitization, use yourself as a case study

codemaniacs:
My parents never slapped or raised there hands on me...

tribe has something to do with it because the same way people from different religions can't tolerate each other is the same way people from different tribes can't tolerate each other...

in saner countries, her slaps will be treated as a crime of hate against the Yoruba boy.

have you read anywhere that P:eter Obi condemned the woman who was slapping the boy

these your arguement ehn .... sleep in jesus name

Sulele04:
You are an illiterate it is very obvious.
"Beat the rod, and spoil the child" gibberish I am sure that is a reasonable excuse to abuse children.

If in 2025 you think the best way to discipline a child is physical abuse it shows how inept, and pathetic you are. I am sure no country beats their children more than us yet we turn out scammers, cultists, corrupts individuals like no other I am sure those guys were not beaten in their childhood. Otondoo.

E no go far sha.
When you born your own children beat them anyhow you like, with anything from canes, to pure wood, knife and even pressing iron sef.

Just don't even as much as slap another's person pikin else anything you use your eyes see collect am like that you hear. Filthy scum

i doubt your parent can afford the schools i went to from primary to uni.

what special about 2025, did jesus son of God not chop horse whip, so who is my son to be above cane
lol ! caning is now physical abuse ... sumtin wey im papa papa chop ... whats even wrong with some you claiming halfway woke

i tell you what, we are scammers, cultist and most corrupt cos of a failed system & economic hardship not because of morale deficiency

i can see you argue like a woman , i beat me child but like i said "in Moderation" ... even abroad i have watch black kids open up there mom beat them, it as to be mom 😀

BoldBrainz:
Very same mentality that's giving birth to the morally deficient children we're seeing in the streets on a daily basis today.

No one is supporting her high-handedness and she's already being punished for it, but let us all not pretend as if practical discipline has become a taboo in our society, which was what she probably intended.

But trust Nigerians on social media such as these clowns to always exaggerate matters especially when they emanate from social media. Forming woke over nonsense. Na only for Internet them sabi get outrage, and always over seemingly minor issues.

Always majoring in the minor! Make una go nail am to cross parade am for streets of Lagos na. Hypocrites!

You know what very annoying ... these social media madness of always over reacting we dont take it to politicians or govt

What Tinubu and his associate politicians as done to Nigerians under 2yrs is it not worst than a teacher slap,

Temitunz:
Timeout, Loss of priviledges, Grounding etc

Timeout ... from parent that are hardly home, inside these economic, even parent no get time out

Priviledges ... Maybe for the otedola, davido kids, on a reality what priviledges does an average naija pikin has ... smh

Grounding ... where is the money, its so bad children are the ones raising parent now doing yahoo
how old is peller, naa that one parent go ground

codemaniacs:
Arrest is not an overkill... Luckily for the woman she is Nigeria where people chant unity and overlook violence just to maintain the illusion of unity...

the woman committed a crime of assault against a 3 year old, crime as a result of hatred against Yoruba people..

the woman should be spending at least 5 - 10 years in prison..

you don't go to another person's ethnic nation and mistreat and be violent against them in their own nation..

Can you say your own parent never slapped or raise there hands on you

what as tribe got to do with anything here, if you had gotten the right amount of slaps as a child you wont be reason like some genz on kolos

Sulele04:
It is not an over-reaction you are such an hypocrite I am sure if it was your child you won't be saying the same thing. If your 3yr old child returned home deaf go & pat the teacher on the back you hear if e reach your turn.

You are being obtuse trying to use your own unfortunate case of abuse to justify another abuse.

If nem dem use omorogun nack una head for your house let it end there, you can even use knife too if omorogun is not effective.

Just don't do it to people's kid ok, nobody cares if that's how your parents raised you ok keep it in your barbaric family.

after sacking the teacher, detaining her, someone is still asking for justice If thats not over reaction then death sentence must be a benchmark

hypocrite how ! i will beat my child if he errs and my position on these matter gives me out, i support discipline

lol ! there is no one in my age group or born 80's backward that dont share a similar experience as mine, shout to our Naija mothers " Abàrá" naa factory reset

if i beat my children 20% of the beating i recieve as an hyperactive kid, dem go disown me for life ... time have change nd thats my believe "Moderation" is best we can do

spare the rod n spoil the child, therapy is not for naija breeds

Temitunz:
Teachers should learn to control their temper.. there are other ways to correct a child misbehavior than beating. I am a trained and licensed teacher and I speak from experience

Gud !! so what are these ways and how effective as it being on Genz turnout

Sulele04:
You are absolutely sick in the head if you think this is a minor issue, just recently was it in the news that a child was beaten to death by a teacher I don't think it is up to two months sef too.

A teacher repeatedly abusing a child to the point that if it wasn't leaked it wouldn't have stopped to add with he had to be hospitalised as a result of the slap, if you watched the slap sef if nah you dem slap like that you go dey nurse your hear ni, you are sick in the head se trying to trivialise this.

Useless animaals if you like abuse so much when you born your own children beat them to death if you like nah your problem, but if you do am to another person pikin make e no be say nah person like me else you will be fuxkkked up so bad ehn you will think it is more than a slap.

What is bad is bad, the teacher over acted buh considering how the case is going there is certainly over reaction

As a child some of us grew up in the days of koboko, teacher go beat you for school even for house you fit chop omorogun or wire from your own parent ... But today we thank God

The teacher as being sacked i did think thats enough
