Misterone:
This your logic is very upside down really! They should "insert clauses that favour them"! Really! Do you think Nigeria is the only country that has oil? Tinubu had to give tax incentives for shell to invest $20 billion.
You talk about Saudi Arabia and the others. Do you know their production capacity and their population? Can you compare that with Nigeria!
Subsidy is gone! And gone for good! Let's stop playing childish politics.

Where is the logic please?

Now some of you can simply justify subsidy removal because you want to let us know that Tinubu achieved it.

Nigeria was way better in 2015 than we presently find it today. If the same Tinubu along with his co-sojourners allowed GEJ to move ahead with subsidy, citizens will not be facing such severe hardship as presently experienced.

Commonsense should tell you that the same oil companies that operate in Nigeria, also operate in the Middle East. Is it a secret that aside from oil and gas, Nigeria has better resources than Saudi Arabia? Can anyone steal crude from Saudi Arabia and escape? Were you not in this nation when the story went out how thieves were making away with over 800k barrels of crude daily for years? Do you know the difference that would have made in the lives of citizens?

Are you not the childish one here, believing that agreements should not favour owners of products because investors are putting their monies? Why not simply ask investors to explore, drill, sell and keep the entire funds to themselves? What’s the business of government, if not to protect the interest of the citizens?

The aforementioned countries have always paid salaries and fixed their countries and economies, even with subsidies. Nigerians travel to those countries to enjoy better lives and earn much more. Now that subsidy has been removed, salaries are getting paid, infrastructures are developing, as per what you all say. The question asked is how the poor have been impacted positively. Hopefully you are not going to tell us that the FG has been giving handouts.

Mynd44:
Sauidi has 37 million people
UAE has 12 million people, are you seeing the problem?

I do not see that as a problem. The population of Nigeria did not overtake 200m in ten or twenty years. At independence, the Nigerian population was at approximately 44 million.

The country systematically destroyed by all those in power and there’s one singular word that afflicts the nation and its people. That word is corruption.

The Americans with a population of over 400m also have subsidy in the energy sector. They support the production side of petroleum through tax codes and federal land policies, making it easier for operators and citizens.

Mynd44:
The first flaw in your argument is thinking Nigeria owns the oil it drills.

The crude oil are joint venture businesses with oil companies and they will not be interested in giving their own when they can sell at international price

Who owns the oil? When partnership agreements are reached, how can you not insert clauses that favor you?

How are the middle east nations able the run their countries with ease and some citizens not even paying taxes? The same foreign companies operate in Saudi Arabia and the entire Middle East.

There is subsidy on petrol in Saudi Arabia and the citizens do not pay personal income tax. How do they run their nation successfully, making life better for their citizens?

Yes, you may take off subsidy, but you must ensure that life is better for the citizens in the end. Unfortunately your party makes the rich get richer and the poor depend on handouts daily.

Tareq1105:
So bcoz of this road govt should stop the coastal highway? If you're from any of the communities along the corridor you wouldn't have said that. The people whose community will benefit from the passage of the coastal highway wouldn't say that.

This is the only direct road that will pass through Niger Delta states and some Nigerians do not want the geese that lay the golden eggs to benefit.

So because they are building the coastal road, damaged existing roads should be abandoned, leaving citizens to spend nights on the road, in journeys that ordinarily should not exceed seven hours?

Freshtruth:
Tinubu is not the problem he has approved the money to the governors and ministers are the problem so tinubu go come still carry him legs com mornitor projects? Abeg make una free tinubu jare

Can u imagine money has been approved to the contractors ookk
Umahhi u nor know ur work please resign

Tinubu is not the problem, yet he sees the issues on tv daily.

It is his business. The ministers are his appointees and represent him in all matters as assigned to them. They send their reports and he has the business of monitoring them all to ensure performance.

Surely, he can disengage a non performing minister.

emoneyrano:
Is he no longer looking for debate with Peter obi

They are busy doing money laundering with chagoury on the coastal joke to ondo. While major roads that drive the economy have collapsed

Under tinubu Nigerians started clearing Bush to travel

Same way he turned lagos to a toilet before fashila cleaned it up he is doing same to federal roads

Infact, the minister simply showed his incompetence. That’s absolute incompetence, total negligence.

When they award such contracts, there are terms and within those terms are specific timelines. It is the responsibility of the minister to supervise the job. There absolutely was no oversight, otherwise there would be no need for arresting anyone.

They awarded the contract and failed to follow up with the project. They failed to monitor and supervise. In the end, the job would be shoddy.

Now he’s trying play to the gallery.

If people were not stranded for days and cried to the highest heaven, the boasting minister would remain in his office, claiming “I am an Engineer”.

The NASS members who job is oversight at the ministry and its projects also totally failed. That’s not the only failed road in the entire nation.

That particular corridor has been completely messed up since APC assumed power in 2015. Those roads were not in that horrible state before 2015. It was smooth driving from Benin bypass to Onitsha, Benin to Lokoja and Benin to Sapele before 2015. When the roads started damaging, citizens shouted, but APC turned it political.

How many citizens ply the coastal road? When will that road be completed? Even when it is completed, will you abandon Shagamu to Benin or Benin to Onitsha. The idea of the coastal road is acceptable, but fix the existing roads and make them easily usable for citizens. Fix Benin - Okene completely. Fix Okene - Lokoja - Abuja completely and let that Lokoja road connect with Wike’s effort in Abuja. That’s all we ask.

Rather than face the reality, the minister is being heady and demanding a debate with someone far bigger than he is.

Stolen:
WEN NIGERIA STARTS REVOKING THEIR OIL LICENCE I HOPE TRUMP AMERICA WILL TAKE IT IN GOOO FAITH.



IT IS USUALLY FUN STEPPING TOES BOTH WAYS.

How can you achieve that?
1. You President sent the NSA along with top government functionaries to beg for security assistance from the same Americans.
2. You government officials, just like citizens queue up and beg for American visas.
3. Looted funds from your country are used to purchase properties in America.
4. Children of your political leaders are sent to school in America.
5. You and your leaders WILL NEVER travel to Iran and will never choose Iran over USA, knowing that there’s no basis for comparison, except for religious deception.
6. Can you dare stop Chevron or Exxon in Nigeria? Infact Chevron has an estate of its own in Lagos, asserting its presence.

Tell us how you can go about reciprocating such.

HacheNoire:
No lies was detected!

He said it and that’s the blatant truth!

With direct investment in infrastructure and human capital, it is expected and permitted to say over 200 million citizens have been impacted.

At this pace, we definitely bound for greatness.

Some of you APC supporters should have some shame.

What’s the pace that you are talking about? Where are the interceptions? Why do you all keep deluding yourselves.

How can you conceal the fact that more Nigerians are falling behind the poverty line?

There are two determinants that citizens are getting out of poverty.
1. Security
2. Agriculture

Can you confidently tell us that those two indicators have been dealt with? Great nations first ensure security for the citizens and then agriculture.

For some of you deceive yourselves by assuming that handouts of rice and 2k, in the name of intervention, are effective in tackling poverty.

“…it is expected and permitted to say that 200 million citizens have been impacted”. What a joke!

If you and your fellow APC supporters have been impacted, why the struggle for one cup of rice and one cup of garri by APC members in the last Osun state governorship election that we all witnessed?

This is so so sad. What a big loss in the name of making money. What was the essence of it all? The end was his life? He would have lived in absolute regret and fear before the final order.

Let’s hope that our citizens can learn their lessons. The richest men on earth did not make it by criminal acts. Honest leaving earns you wealth and peace of mind.

“Agulu packaged fraud”? You no get shame sef. You forget that your principal dey busy running kitikata to prevent American government from telling the whole world the truth about his past life and activities? As your principal dey beg court to prevent release of the files, where you see mouth? All of us know that the files will scatter everywhere.

AdolfHitlerxXx:
Very well written. Many Nigerian men and some Africans don't understand the concept of consent.

They are often taught lessons they never forget abroad.

It’s not just about Nigerians and Africans. It’s simply how good societies work, where everyone’s rights, irrespective of age, status, sex or religion must be respected. That’s why, for example, you cannot not mishandle your child in any form and escape justice.

Now that’s the difference e between civilized cultures and Islamic radicalism ideas, where women absolutely have no rights and are treated as slaves.

Take the case of Afghanistan. Not too long ago, before the Americans left, the women had their freedom and their rights. They were getting educated, participating in science to improve their country. The Talibans ruined it all. They use the Islamic religion as a tool of oppression. The same happens in Iran and Yemen, where the rights of women are absolutely taken away and women used as shields during battles.

That horrible belief is getting exported worldwide and that’s what civilized countries aim to either put an end to or control it.

Look at our country. Go into the market and see how women get touched by random men, in the name of wanting them to purchase items. Also men use the opportunity to intimidate the women and always get away with it.

I believe that such cases must serve as examples to such irresponsible men, who think that women must be at their service or serve their sexual fantasies.

If you do not have consent, do not touch. Even if you have consent, know your boundaries. As you move on the roads, mind your business. That’s the way it works in developed countries.

Almighty iran is obviously in charge here, they are calling all the shots while the drama King and comedian in the oval office keeps gaslighting people with his bunkum

Na so.

Please give us the figure of vessels that have either entered or left any of the Iranian seaports since the area was blockaded by President Donald Trump?

Can you call shots when you are not able to import or export one barrel of oil for months and your economy is collapsing?

Thankfully there’s very visible a comedian in America, who travels and appears publicly daily. The decapitated Ayatollah in Iran is not able in anyway to appear publicly, in any event, to his people.

While Donald Trump calls the shots in America and the strait of Hormuz, Iran has no visible leader who calls any shots. That’s a nation is complete ridicule, decline and destruction.

BATified2023:
so what's d point in all your bullshit?

U are so fixated in insult than passing your message

The point in your bullshit is to face your daily assignment of defending APC.

An additional point is to stop deceiving yourself, claiming what you have no idea about. Or does your scope of assignment include claiming what you are not publicly?

Chucks13:
All these question you are asking are nonsense. You can't transport live catfish for such distance. Full stop.

You and him should go and sort the rest out is not my business.

Since it is not your business, why not stay away from commenting on something that you have no knowledge of?

Who told you that?


By the way, do you know the distance between Benin and which of the towns or communities on that road the market woman was traveling? A normal day’s journey from the Benin end of the bypass to Asaba takes less than one and half hours. If there’s no traffic holdup at all, that’s the same time to Onitsha, in a worst case scenario. Fish go that distance. Fish sellers in Lagos Island move with their Korope and keke, with the traffic in Lagos to purchase fish on the mainland.

For your information, catfish buyers go long distances between farms and their markets. They source their products wherever they are notified of sales by the farmer.

dem d do roads abi dem no d do roads d go?
abi dem must start all d same time?
no be una no like even d coastal, highways, super highways roads etc...?
una messiah obi, ma not even support roads just like him no do any for anambra

See what your messiah Tinubu has brought upon you lots? He brought the calamity of your inability to think rationally and face challenges with the clear desire to bring solutions,

While you sit in your one room, one window apartment, you do not understand an inkling of what those who embark on such long distance journeys have to contend with.

In eleven years of leadership, Nigerians have been bequeathed the legacies of horrible roads and total security breakdown on the highways.

When Tinubu took up the job, he clearly stated that it was his choice. Are you saying that citizens lack the right to complain when they have to confront such unfavourable situations?

You probably are receiving stipends from your parents, either as a jobless youth or a student, otherwise you should have some bit of pain over the situation.

While inner city roads, which have been built several years ago are dilapidating, government builds superhighways. While nobody disputes the fact of building new road infrastructures, as decent countries do, you agree without wisdom that existing roads should not be fixed to enable citizens travel with ease, while awaiting the completion of the highways, no matter how long they take to build.

If you APC fellows had a little bit of shame and human feeling, you should understand that it is absolutely horrible embarking on journeys that ordinarily should cost eight hours, but end up costing two days. We are not in India of twenty years ago, where certain journeys took sometimes two days, because of the geographical distances in the country.

What’s the business of Peter Obi with your reckless ill conceived and ill mannered comment? Is he the President? Have you ever and will you ever visit Anambra state? What do you know about the state, how much more his tenure as the governor? Is Tinubu the President of Anambra state? As the President, are you so unknowledgeable to realize that his Presidency is to serve the whole country and he must be held accountable for his words and actions?

as a former farm manager, I can advise u to check the following.

Salt concentration of the water
Acidity of the water
Hope the water isn't to hard ( there's hard n soft water)....hard water will reduce oxygen in the tank.

Then if after doing all these n it persist, try n get a new treated tank n move them in to check what d problem is.

These ones are big size so cannibalism is ruled out


Ps....I can never do this business no matter how rich I am, it is too volatile

A former farm manager? See as you keep playing yasef wayo? No go face your daily APC promoting job.

Maybe you are talking of a cassava farm or cannabis farm. When fish farmers talk fish business, listen, watch, learn and do not pose.

Fish farmers gave the ONLY reason for such loss and you responded completely wrongly, showing complete ignorance of fish farming techniques and business. You kuku decided to show yasef as Mr. Alan Poser.

That said, the ONLY reason is overcrowding in the pond.

OP, the only reason that you suffer such losses is overcrowding in the single pond that you have.

Livestock are like humans. They need space to move, exercise and enjoy themselves. Imagine having a room of 10 ft x 12 ft and expecting fifty people to live there. You should expect all forms of fights, sicknesses and diseases to break out until you move them to different rooms that will contain them and they live and thrive.

For those of you who use concrete, plastic and other types of ponds, you must know that there are limitations in different forms, ranging from water quality and size, to eating habits, temperature, etc.

The pond size and depth of water play significant roles in concrete and plastic ponds. Water with enough depth is very significant, as it allows fish to move around freely, thrive, swimming horizontally and vertically. When ponds are crowded that way, fish get into each other’s way, causing commotion, injury and cannibalism. Because they are choked, you are forced to feed them three or more times daily, as overcrowding does not permit all fish to get food at the same time and enough.

So OP, do a proper measure of the size of your pond, find other ponds to add, effectively separating them, ensure enough water in your ponds and watch your business succeed.

Continue to bring out useless propaganda. I don't know may be all roads in Nigeria will be completed in just one day. Is it only that road that is bad in Nigeria? What about other roads that this administration has been constructing in the eastern part of the county? Why the fixation on this road? I'm not making brief for this govt but I see this as a calculated propaganda to make the administration look bad.

You are holding brief for the government, definitely.

Shame no dey for una APC supporters eyes Conscience no even dey.

By the way, what is the business of “eastern road” there? Is that an eastern road. Is the road located in any eastern state?

Where’s the propaganda, with the reality on ground there? Do you even have an idea about the area talked about?

That eastern road that you talked about, can you show us one road initiated and completed in the east by this government?

When it is like this, they use the word “palliative”. It was like this last year, two years ago and this year.

“dem d do roads dey go…”. Na until nobody remain for that road again?

Very sad to see. But the owners could have acted fast by getting wood and set up to dry the entire fish. That would have drastically mitigated the loss. Every experienced catfish seller knows that simple as ABC.

That said, it is a very big shame on our government. Is it that Umahi and his group lack compassion, or the greed to show off the coastal highway has beclouded their judgement?

This road was like this last year. Those who travelled for Christmas took two days. The rains will come to an end at the end of November. When will that road be fixed to enable citizens travel with ease during the Christmas celebrations?

Leave the EPL and go full throttle in the UCL that's what your club needs to silence so many people especially Chelsea fans

Well, the season has started.

Arsenal appears to have the most balanced team in the Premiership presently. Players already know the demands of the manager. New players, aside from Ezri Konsa, have adapted already. The match against Coventry was smooth and relatively easy.

Other teams, Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, etc, have to make adjustments with new manages, players and methods. That may take some time before they fix their issues and get into their groove.

On the international side, Arsenal is solid and commands respect among all European teams.

Chelsea fans are simply losers. That cannot sleep, seeing that Arsenal are the leaders in the Premiership. They can’t stand it. The way they hire and fire managers, except they give the manager time to put things together, they will continue to play to play second fiddle to others.

Kalulu44:
First of, I am not expecting you to believe me. But I am not among those United fans expecting us to win the league this year or say if Carrick had started last year.
If not that there's nothing on this Earth that will make me bet against my team, I would have put 2k or more for Hull to win cus I foresee it after that Milan preseason lost.
Now having said that, first match of a league season doesn't determines how the season will end.
Hull City just Man United, but they're still candidate for relegation while Man United will still be named as contender or top 4.
Liverpool won 5 straight matches last season while United won 2, drew 1 and lost 2.
We all know how the season ended.
.
What I will only tell you is to enjoy the trolling of Man United from now till next week which is what all we football fans live for. But be assured that it must get to every big clubs too

I like this. Complete admission of the state of football. Thankfully Arsenal won the Premiership.

Sometimes the first few matches do not determine the season. However, starting strong is very crucial for teams that win the league. Winning the first few matches strengthens the resolve and confidence of teams.

Man U needs to wake up. Arsenal started on a good footing, just as Man city, Brighton and Barcelona in Spain.

On the lighter side, remember that the title will remain at the Emirates in May next year.

It was shocking to so many people on hearing the death of legendary thespian Taiwo Hassan a.k.a Ogogo.
As an Igbo boy growing up in the street of Lagos, I watched Ogogo and another Yoruba movie legend Yinka Quadri strut it out and battling for the best actor during their prime years.
Two of them and other great Yoruba actors and actresses made our growing up years entertaining. And he'll surely be missed.
.
But I found something bizarre aftermath of the announcement of his death.
Many people especially his colleagues in the industry turned it into a content creating affair.
No sooner than the announcement of his death, these people have put on ring lights and camera on to start recording themselves shedding tears and waxing lyricals about the legend.
Many I watched were trying to force themselves to cry and hit their heads or hands on something just to show how they're pained about the death, but they're recording and posting to their different social media handles for their fans to tune in, comment and likes. And in the process, more money to their bank account.
Honestly, I found it awkward.
Can't they just drop some words about the man and just type their RIP. Than the social media circus they have turn the man's death into.
.
Some were saying they were shock to hear of his death. Shock kee most of una there.
Since over 2 weeks we all heard he's in S-4 cancer. It's just a matter of time when the inevitable will eventually happened. So do those shockers want to tell us they were expecting miracles and not knowing the inevitable is almost near.
I for one wasn't shocked but was pained he went thru all that before finally succumbing.
But the greatest shock for me was one of the late Ogogo's daughter who after being told her died has passed on, calmed down and set a ring light with camera and put it live for her followers to watch how she was crying and lamenting about her dad's death. Who does that?
.
You were told that your beloved Dad just passed away, and you still have the time to set camera and start recording yourself crying, honestly I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
The millions of views and comment she'll get will also fetch her money. Bcus as at the time I watched it on YouTube ystday, I know how many views she has gotten.
Couple with her Dad was loved by many will make millions of people wants to watch it too. So how does it make sense to use your dad's death to get publicity and still make money from it.
.
Don't get me wrong guys, I am not saying she like most others I mentioned earlier shed crocodile tears. She was genuinely sad for the lost of her Dad and demonstrated it.
But the rationale behind putting it on camera is what I still can't fathom.
I maybe wrong in my whole assertion and thinking of what I just wrote. I will like to hear from you whether I am right or wrong.
Whether I was too harsh on my assessment on the issue or not?

Correctly stated.

Infact, his movies were always quite enlightening. Knowledge was always shared watching his roles.

Anyway, that’s the way of life. He completed his assignment and went his way on the journey that does not know one’s choice of religion.

May his family be comforted.

Lol. You missed General Tukur Buratai's innuendo. He is tacitly taking a jab at Tinubu.

You got it.

There definitely is something serious in that file. Should Nigerians not ask the US government to release it? Afterall if it was Donald Trump, Islamic radicalists by now would be screaming to the highest heavens, asking for release of the information.

Even our President, if he says that his hands are clean, should boldly ask the USA to release the files and face it once and for all. That’s what he should do and have his peace of mind.

Is any religion fighting Isreal ? I dont think so, if you think so that is your own opinion and what you feel, if Isreal thinks they are God's own people. The conflict in the Middle East is a struggle for resources not religion. Jews are not Christians. Why will a country say another country should not develop its armed forces. Any country that behaves like that and is always under threat is actually deceiving gullible fools around the globe they are God chosen.
Isreal is always apprehensive and always under threat, despite calling themselves God Chosen.
If Isreal continues with this belligerent behaviour, thinking it is God Chosen, they are going to send the world into the point of no return.
