[quote author=HgsMediaPlus post=132368587][/quote]Are Nigerians really hungry! Or it's just cruise?

It's not a must to drive a petrol driven car. There are alternatives like CNG which have been proven times without number to work perfectly. Therefore, I see no reason for this lamentation!

One major problem we have in this country is that those who claim to be educated seriously lack comprehensive skills.
Another thing is that some see everything about government from a biased point of view.
Now back to the Koko.
The issue is this: if you make a down payment on a commodity with price flexibility and without an agreement on price at due delivery date, at what price should the seller sell to you if price changes after payment?
I believe a contract must have been drawn to address these issues before IPMAN members made those down payments else Oyobo! Money don waka.

Kelklein:
Where are the Labour leaders, Opposition Parties' leaders and CSOs in all of these?!🤔

It's no longer news that the NNPC has hiked the pump price of PMS yet again. Petrol currently sells for about N1030 in NNPC stations in Abuja. It's expected to sell for N1200 at the stations of Major marketers such as AA Rano and Co.. and even more at other mushroom stations. Meaning that the product would sell in Abuja at the price of N1030 for those that can bear the long queues at NNPC stations, and more in other stations.

The questions that beg for answers are: where are the labour leaders and the Civil Society Groups in the country?! Why have they all left poor Nigerians to suffer these miserable fate in the hands of the government?! Why is nobody speaking out to protect the weak amongst us?! Why has Joe Ajaero and his Cotravellers been quiet since the Police Invitation event?! What deal did he agree with the government to let him off the hook?!.. They negotiated the minimum wage and were offered peanuts when the pump price of PMS was N537 per litre. Now it has since been more than doubled that price.. and their silence has been that of a graveyard.. the commonfolks do not deserve this.

I don't even want to get started about the so-called opposition political parties.. the best any of them had done so far is to sit behind their keyboards and tweet away. A real opposition would have rallied Nigerians and set an agenda for a way forward out of these unending hardships, whilst inspiring hope.

The Nigerian media (both Print and Digital) must be given some credits as they seem to be the only ones doing their bits to always call the government out, as we have seen with their countless editorials.
Now is the time for all those stakeholders mentioned above to wake up from their slumbers and rally the common citizens out of these mess. Because from the look of things, this government is not showing any signs of stopping anytime soon.

Well, the problem is that you can't see beyond your nose! Where will government get money to pay the difference between the real price and your expected price? These person's you called out know all these. It's time to face the fact that in terms of oil wealth, Nigeria is not a rich country given the size of her population. If countries in the west African region can go without subsidy, why can't Nigeria? Abi dem get two heads?
It's time we stop these charades and move the country forward. Someone has to pay the price for greatness because a leader has said the time is now!

Okoroawusa:
SUBSIDY MUST GO!!! As it is there is still subsidy. Unless it's gone totally then we are ready to move forward as a country. It's painful but it's the only way to go.

Yeah! This is the only way for Nigeria to move forward. Those complaining here like making silly comments about the country. Now a man has come to say the country must be great, gbajues are crying with eyes wide open!
Just a profit margin of N20 on PMS as road tax can rehabilitate all the roads in this country.
They want the country to be like those in Europe but they don't want to do what it takes to make it.

Rebuke:
Always planing to. Policies that don't reflect on the life of Nigerians

If it doesn't involve garri or rice, I know you wouldn't understand!

OkCornel:
So Tinubu did the right thing by protesting against subsidy removal under Jonathan knowing fully well Jonathan was right to remove the subsidy back then?

Keep repeating your question, I've given you the answer

OkCornel:
On the bolded part of your response…

So how can we reconcile this with Fayemi admitting that APC (ACN peeps to be more precise) politicians knew Jonathan did the right thing by removing subsidy but decided to play politics with the whole thing?

https://www.ripplesnigeria.com/11-years-after-fayemi-admits-fuel-subsidy-protest-under-jonathan-was-mere-politics/?amp

@the bolded. A father that can't discipline a child when he (the fathe)r knows it's the right thing to do is an idiot.
If Jonathan believed that the right thing to do was to remove subsidy then why did he back down? That tells you that he's a bad leader and should be removed from office.
Once a leader believes that he's doing the right thing, he should stand his ground.
Jonathan was the one playing politics with our lives because as the leader then he had the last say. But second term greed did not allow him.
Opposition will come even when you're doing the right thing but your ability to resist pressure from bad influence makes you a good leader

surgical:
you are just blabbing, you don't know the difference between proven approach to solving issues and try and error method, that is what your man is doing, no road map, no team
No result will be achieved, we heard this same thing during buhari, you guys think repeating this will make people have interest in bulaba,with benefits of hindsight, people have become more aware than you think, you and your group are the only ones deceiving yourselves

An ignorant man will never agree he's ignorant. You think you have all the information on your palm! You lie! You don't. This same thing was what happened in 2013 or so, during the subsidy protest. You don't know shit and you don't know if you're a puppet on a string! So, stop saying you know something! You know nothing!
Whether Tinubu is on the right track or not, time shall tell but to (me), he is because removal of subidy is a step in the right direction. Nigerians have been spoon-fed for so long a time that we think that government is responsible for us instead of the other way round.

OkCornel:
So Tinubu did the right thing by protesting against subsidy removal under Jonathan’s tenure?

They say "ignorance is bliss". As at the time Tinubu protested against subsidy removal, Tinubu acted based on what he knew at that time. He was not in government. Jonathan that was in government and had all the information/knowledge of government workings and the machinery to act, failed.
Like I said earlier, it's like a child that wants to watch TV all day. As at that time of his/her life, that is the best decision and anyone telling him/her something contrary to that is wrong. When that child grows older and has knowledge, the child will know that that was the wrong thing then. But when the child, now a father fails to impact that knowledge on his child, then it becomes a failure.
Jonathan was a failure in all sense of the word.
It's not a crime to protest because you do so based on the knowledge you have at that time but it is criminal when you know that that issue will lead to chaos later and you still allow it to continue.

OkCornel:
What was Tinubu’s reason for protesting against subsidy removal under Jonathan’s tenure?

it's like a child that wants to sit in front of TV all day. To the child, the parents are bad if they prevent him/her from watching but the parents know best. If the parents succumbs to the child's urge, then that parent is a bad one. That was what Jonathan did. He lacked the will to move the nation forward just because of greed (second term)

OkCornel:
What was Tinubu’s reason for protesting against subsidy removal under Jonathan’s tenure?

if Jonathan cannot do what he believes is right for the country then I will say it was good riddance to bad rubbish

Softmirror:
Tinubu is the best. He is the only leader courageous enough to take the bull by it's horns.

Some people think greatness and success comes overnight! They want to behave nonchalantly and expect success.
Ask the GOAT Ronaldo. As rich as he is doesn't take sugary drink! Not because he can't afford it but because of its consequences to the body system. That is call discipline. You have to reap what you sow. The situation of Nigeria did not come overnight. It's an accumulation of deferment of solutions to a problem we all knew existed. Now, someone has said we must take the bull by the horns! Some lunatics are claiming he is the problem. We have to cut out the gangrene for the wound to heal.

atiku4President:
Wow. And the same man hated his brother who was his President and carried all kind of propaganda against GEJ. He channeled 99% of CBN developmental and corporate social responsibility projects to the North and his Northern brothers when he was CBN governor. Yet when he's in trouble, the Southerners will come to his rescue. Karma will keep haunting them one by one.

Rubbish talk! You guys like making comments that doesn't make sense. Hate GEJ how? So if you work for someone, you must lick their ass! Is that what you're saying.

KingWarri:
How is crypto currency slavery?


.....We live in the 21st century where information is at your finger tips, yet ignorance abound in the mind of many....

Maybe if you had sat down to think this through, you wouldn't have spoken stupidity out of haste. The bottom line is making policies that will serve the greater good. Crypto is not a bad thing nobody said so. Even Tinubu may have some cryptocurrencies. The issue is that presently, it's being used by speculators, money launderers, terrorists and whatnots to run the Naira and the country aground. The policy is to serve the majority of citizens who are affected by the inflation caused by the instability of the naira.

party every day

Niccoloimhotep:
Stupid countries

Especially that country that sounds like a nigger 🙄🙄

Yanma yanma

You dey ban, you no fit provide jobs to cushion the job loss that would eventually be associated to your senseless unwarranted defense.

If truly binance is the cause of dollar rate spike, why is bank rate not low? If bank rate were to be 460 the bastard met it, would black market have spiked?
Awon oloriburuku, always looking for who to dump their inefficiencies on. E no go better for all of una ……waka 🖐️

so! Because there's no job, you will sell your children and grandchildren into slavery! Rubbish and ingredients

Kingpele:
Look at zombies mocking a civil servant that live better life than them such shamelessness....to threatened people who wanted a peaceful protest is dictatorship not democracy....but how can people who believe in grabbing power and run away with it to nowhere ever understand what democracy entails....APC remains a plaque against this nation....

Threaten them how? You saw Nigerian police providing protection, and even giving them water and biscuits, even singing with them.

magoo10:
How many of those countries have or produce oil in the quantity Nigeria does.

Divide the quantity of oil produced by these countries and Nigeria by theirs population and you'll see that Nigeria is the least.

Connected1:
Will you keep quiet?

quiet or no quiet, when it happens, eyes go clear

Most of the kids here don't know the meaning of hijacking a protest! If that protest is hijacked, that may be the end of NLC as we know it. Hijacking of protest is very easy. Just infiltrate the protest with hoodlums and some rogue NLC members. without confrontation from anyone they start destroying citizens and government properties. This was very common during the military regime. All NLC executives will be arrested and put on trial. Case closed.

Peter Obi

Obi is just spewing rubbish. What did he do for Anambra when he was governor? That road he was jumping on like cricket in Okpoko is still like that till this day. Rubbish and ingredients.

ikorodureporta:
Despite the jappa tide flowing allover, there are some people who don't have jappa in their agenda even though they are not doing well...
Some reasons may include weather, culture, food, caring for loved ones here, lack of strict laws here, etc.
They've decided to remain in their "comfort zone"...

Are you one of dem

If you can live like a king in your country, why will you run to somewhere you become a slave? You japa doesn't mean you will make it. There are citizens that are homeless in the US. Nigeria that you want to japa from, some foreigners are coming here to make it. So it's not about the place but the mindset.

Enice have you finished reading? Come let's discuss what you have understood from class today

Oga you lack comprehensive skills. Even the stupid post you posted backs my statement in a way. It's a fact that at one time Communist China was very hungry. They shut their borders to the world, developed themselves and became self reliant. Today, they are among the best economies of the world.
But you and your ilks think the country can move forward without erecting a strong foundation! For Nigeria to succeed, all forms of rent must be cut out.

EreluRoz:
If you had sense you won't blindly quote me to type this rubbish.

Allow sensible people to comment.

if you had sense, you would not have written this rubbish you wrote. Your father is not poor because of Tinubu! Your father is poor because he had the same mentality you have now. He was waiting for government while the wise ones were looking for ways to take opportunity of the situation. Your write up says a lot about you. That you're a dependant and will always be poor

FourQu:
What phase did you say China went through?

You're ignorant

Don't ask me stupid questions. Go and read their history. There was a time they were dieing like rats due to hunger but today, they are better for it

EreluRoz:
I'm sorry for campaigning vigorously for Tinubu, I believed in him base on his past records as Lagos state governor.

I thought he will bring smile to Nigerians, but it's over six months and things are going from bad to worse. I'm not a witch to be blind to people's plight and the complains I see on social media on daily basis breaks my heart, a lot of suicide cases been reported on daily basis 😭😭😭.

Please if you are still loyal to asiwaju tune it down and don't be insensitive, people are going through a lot and you have to be compassionate.

In case the idea of revolution starts shooting up, please I want you all to embrace it because it is the only way out.

May God come through for each and everyone of you. Amen

Oga! Get sense small! Tinubu did not cause anything! Did you see Tinubu in the market increasing the price of garri? No. The country is going through a phase. Most countries have gone through this phase at one time or the other. An American president once said "ask what you can do for your country and not what your country can do for you". Today, the are better for it. China also went through a phase. Germany etc. it is only in Nigeria that people want to eat their cake and have it back. Our oil money is not coming back to us. It's being use to pay debt yet you blame Tinubu as if he ate the money or put it in his pocket. Anyone that tells you that there's a way out is a liar. You must sow before you reap.

Burob:
They deceive yourself lazy man, na Tinubu for Abuja make you hungry abi?

Wetin you plant or sow, that you are expecting to reap?

Believe me, hunger never start on you yet, keep deceiving yourself.

Oga, don't mind the slowpoke. It is only in Nigeria that people expect to be fed while lazing their buttocks doing nothing. Everyone is shouting "we're hungry" no-one what's to do anything.

Ketamine9000mg:
In today's Nigeria's situation, can someone manage 1.5million for a wedding?

You just want to hype yourself because this is a stupid question.

It is not about being batified. It is about doing what is necessary. To cut out the gangrene involve pains. China locked it's borders and endured pains for 30 years to get to where she is today but you want success overnight. Oga no free lunch anywhere. What we need now is to support the government to do what's necessary so that our children and grandchildren can reap a bountiful harvest. We have to sow today to reap tomorrow
