Asked and answered…
If you are discerning enough to grasp the response.

Meanwhile, so long as this remains a PUBLIC DISCUSSION forum…
I will continue to respond (or ignore) posts WITHOUT PERMISSION!

You are yet to answer my questions! That wasn't the questions asked.

9jaRealist:
I ignore personal insults and attacks…
They merely betray the lack of a crude argument and CRUDE FAMILY UPBRINGING.

Nigeria does NOT have 44 or 58 billion dollars..
And the utility of foreign reserves is that they be USED, not stored and admired.

Even if the CBN reportedly used N58 billion to produce over N1 trillion in banknotes…
It’s still a much better outcome than the alternative of spending dollars to produce the notes abroad.
>

I can't even comprehend the whole bullshit tbh. I already told you as at 2020, Nigeria had 45bilion dollars in reserves which disappeared in 2023. That's one.

Two, how comprehensible do you think I understand a clown who begins to defend the use of 58billion to print 2b notes?

9jaRealist:
Dude, the way a PUBLIC DISCUSSION forum works…
Is that if you share your opinion with the PUBLIC, that PUBLIC has the unfettered right to DISCUSS it!

If you don’t like the heat…
Stay away from the kitchen.

I asked you questions! Until you answer them, stay away from mention I repeat!

9jaRealist:
This is my point about LOW STANDARDS and lowered expectations…
Quit subscribing to a VERY LOW bar, educated/professional Lagosians are migrating to Kigali and Accra.

Lagos may have more than 10x the population of Kigali…
But it also has more than 10x the revenue and resources (human and material) of Kigali.

Like I previously noted, population is a double-edged sword…
The crucial difference lies in governance and resource management.

We cannot aspire to be a world capital…
While subscribing to LOCAL standards and expectations. EKO o ni Baje!

I asked you questions, except you answer them, get off my mention!

Offpointng:
Read what I wrote, you obviously din read it

I'm still on the same point. Of course he's not alone in it but he's part of the sham. Emefiele is incompetent and a thief! How does one even use 58b to print 2b notes? Lmao.

9jaRealist:


Dude, your article says Naira and not dollars…
And even then, the value of the printed notes were reportedly over N1trillion.

Nigeria does NOT have 44 or 58 billion dollars….
Our foreign reserves are LESS than 35 billion dollars.
>

In 2019, Nigeria had 45b dollars as forex but has dried out in 2023 but a clown like you don't see what's wrong in it? Or the fact that Emefiele used 58billions to print 2b notes? You and Emefiele dey craze?

Offpointng:
That's the exact thing I'm still saying. they used him to loot to and now he's getting all the blame, that is the game plan. He was foolish to not have resigned bfr all these things started. If he starts talking now that will be the end of him

He's also a thief and incompetent! The economy was Moribund under him. How do one even use 58billion to print 2b notes? The audacity!

9jaRealist:
Which is why I said that living in Lagos…
Is akin to being served RICH caviar on a bed of human feaces.

Good governance is not just about collecting revenue…
But ultimately what exactly you’re doing with such revenue.

Lagos is RICHER Rwanda and Ghana (by GDP)…
Yet it is a shithole in comparison to Kigali and Accra.

Population is a double-edged sword that works BOTH ways…
While putting pressure on infrastructure, it also leads to increased revenues.

We should collectively RAISE our standards and expectations…
And start by separating partisan politics from governance issues.

EKO o ni Baje!

Yet it's the 5th largest economy in Africa! So which state in Nigeria is better than Lagos? Which of the ex governors who contested in the last election has done better than Lagos government, Tinubu precisely?

Meanwhile, Lagos overpopulation is 10 times that of Kigali, so what are you saying? This put more pressure on Lagos' Land mass and resources, considering the land mass!

The overpopulation of the Nigeria as a whole needs to be watched as a matter of fact. You would see some who can't even feed themselves yet give birth to plentiful.

9jaRealist:
Beer parlor rumors…
Nigeria does NOT have 44 billion dollars!
>

You dey craze? How do you omit the point? I was even being mild with the 44billions. It was 58 billions to print 2.5 b notes! You and Emefiele dey craze? Not to mention the forex misuse under him.

Offpointng:
Actually the truth is, Emefiele wasn't the problem. Buhari was and other cabal that Buhari gave power. You can't tell me all what Emefiele was doing was his policy. He was just a pawn in the hands of the powers that be and that was why the Presidential guards brigade thr the CDs was the one protecting him. So we should not blame him

Emefiele was a problem. Using 44billion dollars to print 2 b naira notes? What about the forex misuse?

9jaRealist:
Although, it was NOT my point…

I am often dismayed with this fixation so many have with Lagos supposedly having “turned revenue around”. While it is generally a positive, it is NOT the primary function or government nor in fact Lagos’ primary problem (moreso if there’s any veracity in the allegations of a percentage of such revenue collections ending up in private pockets). The unfortunate reality is that, even with all of its “revenues” and supposed wealth, living in Lagos is akin to being served rich caviar on a bed of human feaces.

Sadly Lagos is a city that does NOT work - even for its own residents (many of whom have low standards and obviously limited exposure and expectations). And I say this as someone who’s lived in Lagos since moving to Nigeria and taking up Nigerian citizenship, but please don’t take my word for it. Instead, and I am not even going to compare Lagos with the world capitals that we aspire to, just visit several other AFRICAN cities (Kigali, Accra, Nairobi, Rabat and Casablanca, Addis Ababa, etc. Arguably, even Abuja and Uyo).

EKO o ni Baje!

Yet Lagos is the 5th largest economy in Africa. Tinubu made that possible! Lagos' is still the ideal state in Nigeria which pay her pensioners and workers promptly while overseeing several laudable projects... Name which of the state is better than it? Lagos major problem is its overpopulation, considering the land mass.

Accra has only 2mil population for example whereas Lagos is 10 times the population.

The overpopulation of the Nigeria as a whole needs to be watched.

Offpointng:
i just checked, the Acting CBN governor Shonubi happen to come from SW and fortunately na our person mai we pity am allow do this 4years with Tinubu abeg

If he's in collude with the thieving Emefiele, a better technocrat had better been brought in.

9jaRealist:
Business administration is NOT synonymous with economics…

Business administration focuses on the micro and not the macro…
In other how to run/manage businesses (micro), not how to run/manage economies.
>

Isn't Emefiele an economist, what has he achieved apart from being the worst CBN ever? You dey craze? Tinubu turned Lagos revenue around to what it is today! And yeah, Tinubu is far better as a top degree business administrator!

9jaRealist:
Tinubu is an accountant (a bean-counter), not an economist…
>

Business administration degree, majored in accounting.

Best student of his set sef.

Good one, considering the insecurities state. I hope there are more devolution of powers, like state police.

Good one. The insecurities of the country has to be tackled. State police like those in developed countries should probably implemented. Honestly, we need to start implementing some better advanced models into the country

Tinubu is an economist. He knows what to do. I think We need more Forex savings. Anyway, we're not at least accumulating more debts since the removal of fuel subsidy.

Meanwhile, I hope all the CBN officials are removed, including the promoted Shonubi guy. They're in affiliation with Emefiele. When corruption is already deep neck in an establishment, it would be difficult for them to stop, best way is to remove all of them and replace them.. Heck, Emefiele knew why he handed over to the Shonubi guy. All of them are in collude.

The problem of Nigeria is corruption at its peak. I hope immunity is removed from all government officials and anyone found looting is jailed!

FireUpNow:
No more freedom of worship and freedom of association?

Just imagine that. Especially from one nonsensical foreign Arab culture? The nerves! When did Africans become Arabs?

The same isese that's being practiced by the African in Brazil and Cuban Africans cubans. It's basically free will for these Africans and as long as they're not killing human beings, I don't see what's anyone's business! Imagine the audacity of some clowns wanting to force foreign Arab nonsensical culture on Africans? The nerves! Are we Arabs?

I will always say one thing, everyone can practice whatever religion he or she likes, as long as he or she isn't killing human being. I support humanity basically. As long as the religion isn't killing human being.

Let alone some clowns threatening and wanting to force one nonsensical foreign Arab culture on someone else in her own African soil? Are we Arabs? Na madness? Are we Arabs?

juman:
Asa, Baruten, Edu, Ekiti, Ifelodun, Ilorin East, Ilorin South, Ilorin West, Irepodun, Isin, Kaiama, Moro, Offa, Oke Ero, Oyun, Pategi.

Those bolded are kwara north.

You can only say kwara is yoruba dominated state.
Kwara is never a yoruba state.

See the link below and cure your craze.. I still don't understand how some clowns are dictating one nonsensical foreign Arab culture on people in their own African soil? Na madness?

https://kwasang.org.uk/languages-in-kwara-state/

juman:
Kwara was never a yoruba state.
Kwara is state for kwarans. Yorubas and other ethnic groups.

All the local governments in kwara, what's their names? Let's start from there?

Imagine dictating one nonsensical foreign Arabic culture to someone else in her own African soil? Na madness?

Untube:
If she want freedom, she should leave Ilorin and try other towns. Ilorin people don't joke with Islam

Because na you get Ilorin right? Or it's become Arabic state? If she's a Yoruba, you have no right to dictate to her not to practise her culture on her own African soil, you dey craze? Na question I dey ask?

ChybuzzDD:
This is not actually about what she worships, but more about her freedom to worship whatever she likes as enshrined in the constitution.

No one has the right to decide what and how the other should worship.

If they believe the woman is an idol worshipper, they should also believe they're ter.rorists when some of us address them as such.

Anyone can worship whatever he or she likes, even it's trees as long as he's not killing human being, its no one's business! The nerves! Is this an Arabic state? What kind of nonsensical is that? Are some people mad?

HayB100:
Lol, one of the reasons I hate hypocritical people. In this same Ilorin, the rate ate which them dey do JuJu pass anything, all these their young Alfa's, nothing wey you no go see with them, and more so, the rate at which infidelity dey take operate for Ilorin no be here, nah only person wey never see them finish them dey portray to be religious too, nah lie, to even top am, even some of their Alahajis dey chop 'pork' meat, if I lie, make God punish me 💯✌️

I tell you. In fact, my great grandmother said there was nothing like money ritualist in Yoruba land in old days where people could walk around at night in the old days without anything until some people started going to Mecca to practise rituals and black magic.

IFA people don't even kill human being or use human being for money ritual. There's nothing like blood money in IFA.

What's the governor saying about this?

Last I knew, Kwara is an African land, Yorubaland to be precise. How did it become an Arabic land? Are some people mad?

As long as no one is killing anyone, you have no right to threaten anyone, let alone a useless foreign Arabic culture? Are some people mad?

DOptical:
Buhari made that budget. Why did he do such though? Anyway, It should be reversed and cut. The cost of governance, including legislative should be cut. It's too much. Even the government of developed countries don't feed that fat. Politics should be all about those who want to serve the people. I hope the loophole on corruption is tightened.

I even recently learned that Jonathan's own was much higher. Nawa. Anyway, I hope Tinubu revisit the old budget and cut it down.

Open grazing should be banned in Nigeria totally. I don't understand why is so difficult for the government.

Is a very backward practice. We should be advancing.

Exactly!

GWMI:
I commend Tinubu and am not an hypocrite.
It is people who want to eat their cake and the same time have it that are hypocrites.
It took sacrifice and sustained efforts for the united States to be where it is.
It is a process let's keep our fingers crossed is not even up to 100 days in office but you have written Tinubu off?
Who would have done better Obi, Atiku or Kwankwanso?
Let's hope for the best.

Tell him.

He expected Tinubu to keep sinking Nigeria into debt by borrowing more huge funds to pay subsidy for the criminal inclined marketers to keep looting while selling to other countries? Maybe he's even part of those criminal marketers.. Instead of him to call out those greedy criminal marketers, he's mentioning Tinubu.

I don't even see why there should be herdsmen in the first place. the nerves! It's an archaic practice! This isn't old ages. If these herdsmen can't buy feeds for their cows, they should forget it and fuvck off! Do anyone see any herdsmen in any developed countries? The audacity!
