China is a huge country with significant raw materials as well as manufacturing.

The UK doesn’t have either. Just the legacy of global theft and modern money laundering.

You don’t know what you’re talking about most Nigerians like you just follow crowd mentality without research..

Just Google this companies and which country owns them also

Range Rover, Bentley, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Rolls Royce etc .

For your information Rolls Royce is the maker of plane engines

What this APC guy does is.. he brings some potentially controversial threads here and makes sure to comment first in order to control the discourse. He's doing it before another person will do it so that people don't get to express their views freely without first corrupting them with his own.

Notice how he didn't mention where he got those stats he was just pulling out of his ass? Notice how he said that we will save trillions in naira, but declined to mention how his oga uses billions of our money to buy dollars that he will use in lodging in luxury hotels + other miscellaneous? Its only you and I that are told to make sacrifices, no part of Tinubus governments involvement in that sacrifice was mentioned.

When you see the way he throws around numbers, you'd think that that is actually how it'll play out. What Nigerians should understand is that spin doctors are just that. They're not economists. Their job is to control public perception. They know they're quoting jargons, but if you know the truth, they won't get paid. They get paid to convince you that you're privileged to suffer.

I wish I could like your post 1000 times, You know their game. The OP thinks everyone is stupid

Learn to read and understand.......the last airbnb I stayed in NYC was $88/night in 2022, same place goes for $264 per night now.

I have friends in the U.S who can't afford to pay their mortgage again, and had to forfeit their home this year. Mind you, they've owned the house for over 8 years. This is the first time I am traveling and every Uber driver who has picked me up have some horrible lamenting about inflation. Imagine a house where husband and wife are working, yet, all their salaries goes in to bills.

I am not here to compare, my point is that its crazy all over the world.

You know it’s crazy when you see Indians leaving Canada and moving back to India.

Using accommodation prices to compare everyday items doesn’t make any sense. Lodging and accommodation prices goes up and down based on how busy the bookings are ie peak and off peak periods. The inflation we are suffering in Nigeria is just too much. Every day Items are going up at over 500% increment and a lot of people are poor, no even salary increase

beer parlor talks, do you think all the money being generated by the full 20 epl teams to the British economy is up to half a billion pounds anaually?

Go check the top twenty biggest contributing sector to the UK economy and see where football is.

Na so dem talk say na Nigeria dey give UK money. Say it Nigerians stop to go UK, UK economy go collapse

Tinubu supporters looking for bad news all over the world to justify the hardship in Nigeria. We can see through your foolishness. Comparing your economic woes to top 10 economies in the world. What a shame!!

On October 27, the Department of Defense announced that it wants to make a new variant of the B61 nuclear gravity bomb. This will be B61-13, the 13th such variant of the bomb design, and like all modern nuclear weapons, it will represent a repurposing of an older nuclear warhead, rather than a wholly new construction. As a gravity bomb, the B61-13 will be designed for release from a fighter or bomber, which would result in a thermonuclear blast and fallout plume that is devastating to anyone, civilian or military, in the affected area.
Atomic bombs are an almost 80-year-old technology, and thermonuclear bombs, which use an atomic warhead’s fission reaction to spark an explosive fusion reaction, are not much younger. The design for the first B61 variant began in 1963, which means the latest variant is continuing not just a 78-year legacy of nuclear gravity bombs, but a long legacy of this specific template for a gravity bomb. (A gravity bomb, by the way, is a bomb that falls to its target, sometimes though not always navigating as it descends.)
Of those B61 variants, five remain in service today (the B61-3, B61-4, B61-7, B61-11, and B61-12), with the B61-13 slated to replace the existing stockpile of B61-7s.
Some B61 bombs can be carried by fighter jets like the F-15E and the F-16. But the B61-7 and, presumably its replacement, the B61-13, is designed for nuclear-capable bombers only, meaning that the B61-13 will likely be carried by the B-21 Raider stealth bomber, and possibly the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, if both are in service at the same time. (The iconic B-52 no longer carries gravity bombs, in part because modern anti-air missiles make the venerable bomber too vulnerable to being shot down when in bombing range. Instead, B-52s can carry existing and future air-launched nuclear cruise missiles.)
The B61-13 is intended to have the same yield as the B61-7, but with the modern safety, security, and accuracy features common to the B61-12 line currently in production. This includes the B61-12’s inertial guidance system, for greater accuracy, though there is only so much that specific accuracy matters when it comes to guiding a bomb that will produce blasts in the tens or hundreds of kilotons.
“The B61-13 represents a reasonable step to manage the challenges of a highly dynamic security environment,” said Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy John Plumb in a release. “While it provides us with additional flexibility, production of the B61-13 will not increase the overall number of weapons in our nuclear stockpile.”
The single most concise way to describe a nuclear bomb is in terms of yield, or the TNT equivalent of explosive force that will be unleashed when it is detonated. The B61-3, -4, -7, and -12 variants all have dial-a-yields, meaning their explosive potential can be toggled before use, at the time the bomb is loaded onto the plane. For the B61-3, -4, and -12, this yield can be as low as 0.3 tons of TNT, or a fraction of the explosive force of the bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima (Little Boy, 15 kilotons) and Nagasaki (Fat Man, 20 kilotons) in August 1945. The maximum yield of the B61-4 and B61-12 is 50 kilotons, making every dialed-up bomb greater in explosive force than the only two nuclear weapons ever used in war.
The B61-12 was already designed to consolidate the four variants of B61 into a single upgraded universal design, replacing the 3s, 4s, 7s, and 10s. The B61-7 has a yield of 10 kilotons to 360 kilotons, and B61-10 has a yield of 0.3 tons to 80 kilotons. By replacing all of these weapons with the B61-12, that would cap the maximum yield of these specific gravity bombs at 50 kilotons. The B61-13 would have a yield of 10 kilotons to 360 kilotons.
Yields are an abstract way to talk about the effects of heat, pressure, and radioactivity on cities and people. NUKEMAP, by technology historian Alex Wellerstein, offers insight into how such blasts would play out in real life. A 50 kiloton warhead set off in lower Manhattan would kill an estimated 273,000 people, injure an estimated 471,000 more, and send a radioactive plume all the way to Hartford, Connecticut. A 360 kiloton bomb, in the same location, would kill an estimated 778,000, injure an estimated 1,045,000, and send a radioactive plume almost all the way to Lowell, Massachusetts.
While US cities would obviously not be the target of US nuclear bombs—and if they were hit by a nuclear weapon, it would likely be via intercontinental ballistic missile—it’s a useful context for understanding how the weapons, as designed, would work.
“The B61-13 will strengthen deterrence of adversaries and assurance of allies and partners by providing the President with additional options against certain harder and large-area military Targets,” reads a fact sheet shared as part of the announcement of the B61-13. The fact sheet also notes that the development of the B61-13 is “pending Congressional authorization and appropriation.”
The fact sheet and announcement both emphasize that there is no specific threat driving this development. It is, instead, a policy choice undertaken by the Biden Administration. Writing for the Federation of American Scientists, Hans Kristensen and Matt Korda argue that the B61-13 is announced as a way to replace the massive B83-1 (1,200 kiloton) gravity bomb with a larger weapon than the B61-12, but not one nearly as potent as the B83-1.
“The military doesn’t need an additional, more powerful gravity bomb,” write Kristensen and Korda. “In fact, Air Force officials privately say the military mission of nuclear gravity bombs is decreasing in importance because of the risk of putting bombers and their pilots in harm’s way over heavily defended targets – particularly as long-range missiles are becoming more capable.”
At present, the United States can deliver nuclear warheads through a range of means: submarine launched missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles fired from silos, and nuclear bombs or missiles launched from planes. Taken together, these submarines, silos, and planes constitute the “nuclear triad,” a Cold War plan that spread risk and responsibility of nuclear launch across a range of means, ensuring that in the advent of the worst war humanity had ever seen, at least some nuclear weapons would be able to launch and share misery in retaliation. Deterrence, or the strategic concept of nuclear-armed nations avoiding war because of fear of nuclear retaliation, also hinges on the threat of some retaliatory nukes surviving a surprise first strike.
It is precisely because the scale and power of nuclear weapons constrains their use in all but the most existential of wars—to the point where none has so far been used in war since their devastating debut in August 1945—that the nature, design, and continued production of thermonuclear weapons is a policy question. The continued modernization of the US nuclear stockpile, which means refurbishing parts like plutonium pits and moving old warheads to newer casings, is a choice successive US presidential administrations continue to make, adapting the weapons of the past for an uncertain future.

Make UK try closing down the rate people are entering there

Make them be like US and Canada for once

There are more Nigerians in the US than in the UK. These countries do open road once in a while depending on the government in power. We all know the UK will start closing up from next year that’s why people who have means are trying to get in now

Ikaeniyan0:
Are you spending dollar or naira in Nigeria?

Are you importing fuel in Dollar or in Naira? Or you are too blind to see the foolishness of the government

Ikaeniyan0:
The problem with some of you is that, you're dumb but think you're clever

If the landing price of a litre of petrol is #900, when petrol was #200, government will have to pay #700 as subsidy, now that's like #650, Government will only have to pay #250 as subsidy.

Can you see you're very dumb?

You are the one that’s very dumb. What was the dollar exchange rate when petrol was #200? You and the government don’t have sense

I knew the Tuition fee was going to increase by hundreds of percentage. Laughing when FG and some state Governments were saying nothing like school fees and it’s free

Zico5:
No where in the world is safe again. Some of the countries we are looking up to have their challenges as well. The worst place to live today is UK. The tax alone can send someone to hell. We live in a trying times. Nigerians need to buckle up and face the reality. We are the one to fight for our existence. These people in power dont care so far they can maintain their expensive lifestyles. We shall survive.

Is like you don’t know what the tax rate in Nigeria is. Nigeria has one of the high tax rate in Africa

NOwazobia:
12 million? ok.


So what happens after 6 months l, and what can one do with 8k?


Another siphoning mode activated.


please, I don't want to miss Buhari oooo... 🥺

After 6 months they should have saved enough money to open businesses to survive on

OP what about the black guy that killed 3 white people.
So the UK is not also safe for white people?

Don’t make up excuses for people sick in the head. The good is the law will always fish them out unlike in Nigeria

Yahoo and hush puppy likes money plenty past legit ones

Those are not taking into account here. They are talking trackable remittance

Governors owing salaries, pensions, gratuity etc., are now fighting for you. Nigerians deserve the leaders and the suffering they get. Those Governors fighting this new naira policy only fight for their greedy interests. They don't care about us. They didn't tackle unemployment, electricity, education, fuel scarcity etc., like this.

The Cabals played Tinubu. The first plan was to half the vote from Tinubu's own region by tricking him to go for a Muslim Muslim ticket knowing fully well that south West region is 50/50 based on religion. The Cabals know 80% of Christians in the southwest won't vote for a Muslim Muslim ticket. Ask yourself this question, have you ever seen a Northern presidential candidate pick a Muslim VP even when his region is about 85% Muslim? Now they are putting anti-people policies in place to further cause more damage to APC/Tinubu.

My point is whoever the cabals are, have their own candidate. When last did you see the PDP attack Labour Party on anything whereas APC is always on the Labour party's case now and again when it should be the other way round as it seems LP has gained a stronghold of major PDP States. There is going to be a shocking coalition between PDP and LP very soon.

Atiku or Peter Obi is either going to be your next President. Tinubu has been played!!

Bro, I accept the title. When Emefiele inevitably faces his 'trials' in the near future, for putting literally the entire Nigeria in severe pain, I will resurrect this thread to mock myopically clannish elements like you and your IPOBian brothers.

You bigots rush to cannonize your fellow Igbo in Emefiele, who is causing total chaos and misery everywhere, because you think he is thwarting Tinubu.

Yet you forget he is the only stooge, about to become totally unprotected in the next few months, who will be dealt with mercilessly after Buhari is succeeded by Tinubu.

The saying "act in hast and repent at leisure" was coined, as history has shown us, for the Igbo man but I would replace the word act with brag or misbehave.

You should be directing your anger to Buhari. You Tinubu supporters should be plottingng plan B to also deal with Buhari and his Hausa cabals but no, hatred won't let you see beyond your nose.

Why can't the British citizens go out to vote?
Why does the MPs always vote for who will be the PM?

Elections are usually held every 5 years except the PM calls for for a general election with the approval of the king. UK Conservative Party won the last general elections which usually has a 5yrs tenure.

For example if Buhari had resigned after a year in office APC as a party would select a new president if they feel the VP is not who they want.

They say “over familiarity breeds contempt” that’s what I have noticed with Nigerians that think they know everything in the UK. So there are countries you can go as a student and get jobs as bank managers, Lead consultants, Construction supervisors, Warehouse Managers, head of departments etc whilst studying or as someone who just relocated and not on work sponsored visa? They are even lucky to have jobs to put a roof over there heads as students.

The care giver or healthcare support worker whatever you guys call it is a crowd mentality syndrome for Nigerians, that’s where they know someone that can easily link them to a quick job to do are working. To them is easier to do those jobs and study and probably can get lots of hours as per shift to earn money.

Nigerians are not the only international students in the UK, they don’t even make up to 10% of the UK international students population but most of them prefer to do care jobs as that’s the niche they’ve carved out for themselves. Most non African students prefer working in the retail, hospitality, Takeaways etc. They are not the best jobs but earn a living for themselves and even send money back home to families. Heard some even pay their school fees doing some of those jobs.

In the end some would get better jobs, some would settle for less, others might have to return to Nigeria. That’s life do whatever makes you happy.

Faithful007:
White Americans were mostly European and Middle Eastern descents. Not necessarily British. Your claim of 90 percent US president being from British Royalty is also false. The War of Independence was not a Civil war. The British colonialists signed what is referred to as the Paris treaty and redrew the boundaries of British North America, holding the part which is Canada today.

The founding fathers of the America we know today were of British decent that’s what He is trying to say I guess. Same as Australia, Canada and New Zealand

So, because Jesus is a Nazarene, he must have dreadlock right? So all Nazarene has lock hair enh?

Why can't you reason properly like reasomable human being at least for once enh? You reason like say because Nigeria is Africa and Nigerians are black, therefore everybody in Nigeria is black in completion, that is your argument that Jesus has dreadlock because he is a Nazarene and since all Nazalene has lock

Brother, all dreadlock forks are rastafarian and street guys ok. You are address in the way you dress ok.

People of God should be decent and moderate ok.

So you don’t understand the meaning of probably?

Those of you talking about Jesus hair, remember he was a Nazarene which means his hair was never cut since birth. Jesus probably had locks cos He Wasn’t white.
