Not only that. People like them steal the system blind. Imagine one of them talking about a civil servant on #70k minimum wage raising #30m

imagine the president having a 50m USD private Jet after serving as Governor
While his son is wearing a 200m Richard mille watch.
So Nigeria na Imagination.
Imagine paying a Senator 30m while professor 400k
So Nigeria is an Imagination and imaginary nation

Brendaniel:
So he should be absent from his work while the office bleeds from his absence and be going to farm ?

What if his boss does not permit him?

The office want him to be absent that why they paying peanut that Cannot carry him home as take home

You pay a Family Man in Abuja 200k per Month
And miraculousy expect him to rent house ,pay transport,school fee ,feed etc and still show up Daily Una no well for Nigeria
Senator that are paid well show up Daily
NNPC staff that are well paid show up
Teacher that you pay 65k will have excuses

Kukutente23:
I'm beginning to guess your age and exposure
How many private hospitals in Nigeria can afford to employ 3 doctors and match the govt's meager pay for doctors?

good bye .I no strength for personal attack .
Enjoy your poor pay and Lament
Other interested in improving Income and family situation have gotten some positive points

Kukutente23:

Another joke
How much is a planter and an harvester? Google it and paste the price here for everyone to see
You remind me now. Some folks in 2020 came up and claimed to be agric investors. They ended up scamming civil servants who took your advice in absentia about investing in business. A good number can't recover their monies till today. Is it those same agric investors you're talking of or another?

you just want to talk Combine rice haverster is rented by Farmers 60k per hectare for rice Farm .

Brendaniel:
and getting those equipments you mentioned are free abi?

So a peasant farmer in the village who has never seen 100k naira in his life will be able to afford all those equipments abi?

abi Man abi poverty dey wire you abi ?
We talking about Civil servant that has 200k work and 15m to Japa
What better thing he fit do for Nigeria than Cutting grass in the UK

Brendaniel:
So when he earns 200k a month and he doesn't leave his duty as you have said, how is he going to take care of himself and his family with 200k at the end of the month?

You take about Zamfara, so all the doctors in Nigeria should go and work in Evercare, Duchess and Zamfara hospitals to earn a good pay abi?

So other places can lack doctors and the listed hospitals should absorb all the doctors in Nigeria to pay them well?

they should wait and earn peanuts .and lament online to wife and kids .
If Human resource become scare state government up pay .
If Majority of Doctor are in private practice
State government will match pay

Brendaniel:
So you are telling those that are employed to break the constitution by leaving their duty posts and go hustle for themselves while the country bleeds from their absence of work?

What then were they employed for in the first place?

So soldiers should leave their work and go for side hustle, doctors, nurses and so on should leave their work and go for side hustle and break the law ?

And what if their bosses don't grant them permission or sacks them because of that, what should they do?

Oya wait na when poverty reset you head your will think outside the Box
Civil servant can also own Farm .( Smart ones )
Dull one reman in the office gossiping up and down waiting for Crumps and loan apps while lamating.
It not compulsory to continue the Jobs if he sure of his ability he can move to top paying organization.
Army is not a Job but service

Kukutente23:
Have you been to the north before? Or you're relying on demsay demsay?
Besides, do you know what 50 acres look like? Have you farmed a plot before? Do you seriously think an individual alone can farm 50 acres? Are you just blowing air or speaking reality?

there are Farm Labourer and Agric investor .
Within be 20 acres come Hadejia Gamaree river basin .Come see Farm
When there is planter , haverster , Sprayer etc who Farm with hoe

Brendaniel:
Thank You, you just asked a very good question, this same people would curse a doctor for leaving his duty post to go and hustle for more money, but here they are encouraging the same thing just because they want to defend the failure in chief in Aso rock, they will even be shouting that those criticizing the government are not patriotic but here they are telling civil servants to not be patriotic to the country by leaving their duties to go and hustle for themselves ....

Just because they want to defend the failure in chief in Aso rock, just look at the hypocrisy..

Why will he leave his duty post ? He should thrive to work in Evercare, Duchess hospital and well compensated .
Zamfara state just increase pay of doctor to attract and retain .

Kukutente23:
Hajj and Ummrah is subisidised by govt sir
Migrating/holidaying in UK is more expensive than going for hajj
Check your figures well pls

And how many fertilizer sellers have gone for hajj if I may ask?
I asked if you have sold fertilizers before but you didn't answer
That would have helped me know how to respond to you

Honestly you just want to argue .
Umarh is unsubsidized it cost 3.5m naira while Hajj is 8m expended with 12 days
UK
Flight +visa + hotel you can use 1000 pounds
Kindly engage yourself
Truck of fertilizer is 28m
720 bags
Retail for Markup of 3k per bag

guobe:
You still didn't answer the question I raised.
Should all civil servants abandon their duty posts?

Civil servant in NNPC , Presidency , NPA NIMASA CBN ,FIRS ,NFIU NDIC MFI, Custom are always in there Jobs they well compensated .
Others in poorly paid job should either get a side income or look for Jobs in better paying companies.
It survivalist strategy
In the UK people work Nights shift ,3 jobs to survive so why would a Poor paid Nigeria civil servant wait to die

Kukutente23:
You still haven't explained the part about how a Civil servant on 200k came about 15m
And she supplies 12 major supermarkets? In this Nigeria? Which town if I may respectfully ask? You mean the supermarkets can't get their supplies directly from the manufacturers or dealers?

the way Nigerians suddenly have 5000 pounds for deposit many Civil servant also Japa go and asked them
I will not provide further information on business strategy
Yes Majority of Super markets depend on Vendors Go and look for interviews of Sahad Super markets chain

Kukutente23:
Hmmm
I wonder why all the folks I know who sell fertilizer are not going to UK for holidays
Probably they don't like travelling

They going to Hajj and umarah is is more expensive
Over 70000 yearly
Saudi is 3.5m
UK is for Illustration of possibly

guobe:
I get your point but if everyone abandons his or her duty post to do business, how will the country move forward?
Any country that is not able to make its Civil service attractive will always lag behind and that is what we are experiencing.
Doctors will abandon their duty post and when a patient needs critical treatment, you won't find him and he dies.

the business and enterprising space is endless in Nigeria
That why Indians , Lebanese and Chinese and paying 3m naira for residency they are not stupid .
The dysfunction state of Nigeria is what bringing the opportunity for business
Doctor and come together to raise Finance to have top private hospitals like Evercare , Duchess hospital in this place doctor negotiate pay .
Govt should enforce Health insurance HMO for all Citizens so that Majority can access those Hospital
If Nigerians can spend 600 bn on beer 1 trillion on data ,50 bn on wigs then Universal coverage can happen
ICEBERG water is own by a Lebanese it mint million monthly selling premium pure water and water dispenser to Middle income group
If there was clean water by water boards this opportunity will not arise
We are now a Capitalist Nation with huge poor citizens
Sadly Socialism and corruption can't develop 220m people country

guobe:
You have said it all but it's not ought to be like that as it is supposed propel the Government of the day.
Well as the Government is not ready,things will certainly fall apart.

The Nigeria Civil servant is now a welfare scheme not real work .like welfare scheme in the UK unemployment benefits .is not real work
Like Buhari was surprise when 70 percent of Civil servant where told to stay home doing Covid and there was no report of manpower shortage.
Nuprc pays around 1.8m per Months for starter.
NDiC 1m
NNPC 1.5
NPA 750k .
Orders are poorly paid but you just wake up on Morning and you be Federal permanent sectary with 100 bn budgets to over see

guobe:
Hmm nice perspective, but not everyone has that acumen for business and also how can a Civil servant raise a capital of 30 million naira from the meagre salary he is being paid.

No body was born an entrepreneur na condition make crayfish bend
Chinese where not entrepreneur 30 years ago
Lebanese na civil war cause am
IBO na civil war
Kano people na survival instinct.
Check his woman textile dealer FMK textile
She started with less than 5m in 2019 when everyone was Selling down to Japa
She now have a Big plaza and doing textile container from China worth 400m
Nigeria is entrepreneur paradise .

Come Abuja and set up a Solar panel and Litmum battery selling business .
Just position for Wuse 2
You don't need to travel to China just buy from Chinese in Lagos and position in Abuja
You go dey office one Govt agency will bring 10m order
Don't sell what people want
Sell what they need
Electricity,Food , medicine, etc

they way Nigerians Miraculously raise Money to Japa to the UK .
Suddenly average Nigerians could deposit 5000 pounds 1000 IHS 60O Visa ,500 Flight .

Nigeria is a entrepreneur paradise for traders .
You must not buy a truck .
200 bags , 100 bag a good Location that all
Dangote is selling 1 trillion naira cement yearly
500 billion naira fertilizer
1 billion litres of Petrol

This has given you where all the sale happens in Nigeria .
Labanes opening large store are not stupid they can go to UK too

The salary for the month for state civil servants that have worked for 15 years is barely 200,000 naira which is less than 200 dollars which is the amount earned by someone clearing grass in a day in UK.
Once the civil servant gets his salary at the end of the month, he goes depressed as the money can't take him home.
Due to high cost of rentage,he joins contribution of 80,000 naira for 10 people, and this money is for the Landlord at the end of the year.
He gives his wife 60,000 naira for feeding and the wife grudgingly collects it as it is impossible in this present economy to survive with that amount.
He spends on transportation, he also has dependants like his dad and mum and siblings and also hospital bills for his family and that of his parents.
The salary he was receiving 10 years ago has more value than the present salary as dollar was stronger then.
The future looks very bleak for the civil servant as there is no more gratuity unlike before as it is now contributory saving as it is what you save is what you will be paid when you retire.
No wonder Directors are now quitting their duty post and travelling out of the country because they see no hope.
Nigeria we hail thee.

Let me burst you a little My wife friend is a Civil servant on 200k but she established a thriving Daipers business.
She supply the Top supermarket she currently has 12 Major supermarket she supply Monthly
Which sell in excess of 200 pack per supermarket 2400 packs x 1000 naira profit/= 2.4m Monthly
The capital no pass 15m and limited stress orders sent via WhatsApp , items delivered via Keke , Invoiced sent for payment via WhatsApp

And still a Civil servant going to office 1 a week
This what Labanes and Chinese are seeing in Nigeria while we selling everything to do grass Cutting in UK and been threaten by reform UK

Cutting grass in winter with all your UK 15000 pounds degree at 38 year is degrading and humiliating couple with daily treats of Reform UK kicking the grass Cutter out of UK
So I rather be chopping Najia govt 200k with zero stress and use the 15000 pounds or 30m to do Business
Example if I order Dangote fertilizer 720 bags at 38k each
Will sell for 41k
720*3000=2.1m
This 720 bags sell out in a Month and repeat the cycle .
So you can see the UK grass Cutter is no better
Than the Civil servant with 30m capital and business knowledge in Nigeria
The Nigeria Civil servant with this Capital will come to UK with a 1000 pounds to 5 days holiday he will see his fellow Nigerian Mopping the Hotel Floor after spending 30m +UK MSC to Japa

Sex Outside Marriage Isn't Called Dating

Sex outside marriage isn't called dating but fornication.

That's what it is called by God so no matter how anyone tries to paint it, it would never change the fact that sex outside of marriage is fornication which is a sin before God.

So instead of trying to change the name of sex outside marriage, change your sinful ways and get it right with God before it's too late.

God bless.

shout up sin and non sin where created by Men ! What is sin to you is not a sin to another
Simple solution if sex outside marriage is sin then the creator of sex desire should not allow it work and you only desire you wife

Penguin2:
I’m not going to write long tales. Yeah, I will just go straight to the point.

With the wave of defections going on, very soon all Southern Governors might be in APC.

And if we check very well, almost all Southern governors who are yet to join APC seem amenable to Tinubu’s re-election.

Name them, Gov Adeleke of Osun is not in APC today because of the pushback of APC stalwarts in Osun.

Gov Otti of Abia has never hidden his friendship with Tinubu.

Gov Diri is touted to have resigned from PDP en route APC.

Gov Fubara is only a governor on paper that even if he doesn’t defect cannot do much to harm Tinubu’s gameplan for Rivers.

Only Makinde seems to be on his own and that’s because he wants to answer Presidential candidate in 2027.

My point is, with what is currently happening in the south, the ADC or any opposition coalition giving their ticket to a northerner will just make 2027 Presidential Election an easy ride for Tinubu as it will become a north vs south affair. And with vast of the Middle Belt amenable to Southern sentiments, and with whatever Tinubu would be able to muscle from the rest of the North, he’s sure to win in 2027.

So, if the opposition is truly interested in challenging Tinubu in 2027, their ONLY option is to willingly hand the ticket to Peter Obi.

Why? Because with Obi, the south will be broken; with Obi taking Southeast and Southsouth again.

Again, the Middle Belt and northern Christians are still sold out to Obi.

Then you add whatever influence Atiku and his men can bring for Obi from the core North and you will see Tinubu struggling, if not beaten silly.

This is the only practical, logical and realistic option left for the opposition.

If you think they have a better option, convince us otherwise.

Penguin is a bird of reason!

The North will vote in Muslim Muslim ticket's and Tinibu cos in 4 years time it's back to the North.
What benefits of voting obi .
He is free to stand in his Lp with abure

Does America allow. any business to hold the country to ransom

They have very robust antitrust laws

Why is cement $2 in China and $7
In Nigeria

Yes he is a business man but no country places strategic business in the hands of 1or 2 or 3 companies without antitrust measures

The number one antitrust measures is to prevent extraordinary profits

By EBITDA. Dangote is the MOST PROFITABLE CEMENT BUSINESS IN THE WORLD

cement is not AI or anything innovative

Probably never run a small shop analysing cement production
Why it 2 USD in china
1 in China no need for Generation of private power they use Coal and grid is ok
2 to need for trucking cos rail is available
3 No need to Huge security the govt provides
4 . interest on Loans is 2 percent or zero
5 .No thieving employees
6. No bride demanding civil servant
7.No crazy inflation
No useless Labour union like Pengasan

Nigeria’s reliance on petrol imports has deepened despite the commissioning of the 650,000-barrel-per-day Dangote Refinery, as new data reveal that imported petrol accounted for 72.64 per cent of total national consumption in the last nine months.

This comes as many African countries race to build new refineries or complete the overhaul of existing facilities, a development that would rival Dangote Refinery and Nigeria’s ambitious plan to become the continent’s refining hub.

According to figures from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), the country consumed 12.5 billion litres of petrol between October 2024 and July 2025, of which 9.08 billion litres were imported, while 3.5 billion litres came from domestic supply, mainly the Dangote Refinery.

The data showed that hopes of achieving energy self-sufficiency through local refining remain distant. In October 2024, for instance, Nigeria imported 40.43 million litres per day, translating to 1.253 billion litres that month, while Dangote Refinery supplied only 7.09 million litres daily, representing 14.9 per cent of the total. Similar patterns persisted in the subsequent months, though local supply briefly surged early in 2025 before sliding again amid operational disruptions.

By January 2025, import dependence had dropped to 56.3 per cent, with Dangote supplying 592.1 million litres, its best performance so far. February and March maintained similar trends, with local supply hovering near 45 per cent.

However, production began to falter from May 2025, when domestic supply fell sharply to 472 million litres, leaving importers to cover nearly 72 per cent of national demand. By July, Dangote’s contribution stood at just 31.5 per cent, following a labour dispute that halted operations temporarily.

Despite being Africa’s largest oil producer, the country still struggles to supply its own refineries with adequate feedstock. Dangote Refinery, for example, imported nearly 20 per cent of its crude from the United States in 2024, underscoring the challenge of securing local crude under Nigeria’s current production constraints.

Despite the region’s push, stakeholders have insisted that unless crude availability and pipeline security are fixed, even the best refineries can’t solve the import problem.

Chairman of the African Energy Chamber, NJ Ayuk, while decrying a $15.7 billion shortfall in energy infrastructure investment on the continent, warned that regulatory barriers further complicate the issues on the continent.

“You can send crude and LPG across borders, but an African holding an African passport can’t move freely,” Ayuk said. In response to halting import dependence, several African countries are accelerating refinery projects to reduce reliance on foreign fuel, a development that could make Nigerian refineries less profitable.

According to recent announcements, Ethiopia, Senegal, Angola, Mozambique, Djibouti, Cameroon, Ghana, South Africa and Uganda are all planning the return of their refineries or building new plants that could collectively add over one million barrels per day of refining capacity, potentially rivaling Nigeria’s Dangote and NNPC refineries.

In Ethiopia, the government is advancing plans to build the Gode refinery, a 70,000 barrels-per-day facility in partnership with China’s Golden Concord Group (GCL). The plant, located in the Ogaden Basin’s Hilala oil field, will process domestic crude and condensate, marking a significant step toward the country’s energy independence.

Neighbouring Senegal has unveiled plans to construct a second national refinery to complement its existing Société Africaine de Raffinage (SAR) facility. The new project, targeted for completion by 2029, will cost between $2 billion and $5 billion and aims to make Senegal self-sufficient in petroleum product supply.

In Angola, the Cabinda refinery is expected to come onstream in the second half of 2025, starting with 30,000 barrels per day and scaling up to 60,000 barrels in later phases. The country’s larger Sonaref project, planned for 425,000 barrels per day by 2027, is one of Africa’s most ambitious refinery ventures. Meanwhile, Uganda’s Hoima refinery, which recently secured an implementation agreement, is inching closer to construction, though its first phase is not expected before 2028.

These new projects join Ghana’s 45,000 barrels-per-day Tema refinery, which commenced operations in 2024, and Egypt’s Midor expansion, which boosted capacity from 100,000 to 160,000 barrels per day. Combined, they represent Africa’s most determined push toward regional refining independence in decades.

While some countries are building new plants, others are battling to restore dormant or damaged facilities. In Cameroon, work is underway to reconstruct and restart the Limbe refinery, which has been offline since 2019 following a devastating fire. Ghana’s Tema refinery, long plagued by operational issues, is undergoing full maintenance and is expected to restart shortly.

In Libya, the Ras Lanuf refinery (220,000 barrels per day) remains pending restart under the National Oil Corporation, while in South Africa, the Engen refinery is being converted after a fire, and Sapref, the country’s largest refinery, remains mothballed. Elsewhere, the Ivory Coast has started constructing a new diesel unit to expand domestic and regional supply.

If not Obi then Tinubu should continue. God forbid another fulani as president.

hunger no no Fulani or iyamiri
Continuation of Tinubu mean just 4 year wait for the Fulani you hate and 30 years wait for obi

With all PDP governor going into APC the only option for obi is to take the VP slot with Atiku so it will be Nigeria Masses VS Tinibu and APC

If not opposition is wasting it time

OboOlora:
Woke up today to the news that ILR would now be between 5 and 10 years instead of the definite 5years that it used to be. Am I worried, NO. Am I bothered? NO, Am I surprised? NO.

While others took to various social media platforms to rant about the implications of this, I was not perturbed. Instead, I focus on one thing, solution.

Immigrants, especially Nigerian immigrants are known for one thing abroad: moaning about more problems in an existing problem.
What is the worst that would happen, Reform will take over and place a hold on ILR/British citizenship? And so, what? Then what happens? They will make people only work and earn on work visas without any advancement into citizenship.

While this might seem harsh, considering most people’s plan is to gain the citizenship status then move to better careers without being tied to sponsored care jobs, move back home and only visit at will without applying for visa, apply for various grants, benefits etc. as a citizen etc. It is pertinent to know that this also accords you the opportunity to work and save, and if the reforms are deemed unfavourable, there are options to return to your home country or relocate to other countries that offer better immigration policies.

Like I tell my friends, UK don cast. It seems like paradise to first time travellers that relocated during the post-covid mass emigration but people that have lived here or been travelling here in the last 15years, they will tell you, you came into the UK when it is just bloated African country with cold weather and stronger currency.

The cost of living is over the roof, food so expensive, rent so pricey and salary almost stagnant. Do these new japa crew understand? Probably not, they live ‘well’ on minimum wage jobs as long as they can convert the money, send it back home and be hailed for being rich abroad.
And for people rushing to take mortgage 2/3years into your arrival, have you thought deeply about it? The retirement age is just below 70years. If you take a mortgage with a 25 – 30 years repayment, how do you plan to complain the payment as a 47year old immigrant?

To be continued….

Am surprised why people are still rushing UK study route when what they all do is moan About immigrants , making stay difficult .
Nigerians still selling property to Japa to UK when they planning to deport 800k migrants
