DIVINEEVIDENCE:
These guys should go and develop South East nau.
No be person build independent power plant for Aba?

Ndi Yoruba don't even realise the sort of situation they're creating with their collective igbophobia.

Give them 20 to thirty years, Lagos would be retired as the economic hub of the nation.


See South East thriving today from scratch and it'll be hard to reconcile the fact that this was a battlefield a few decades ago.

Despite marginalisation, useless leaders and absence of FG representation, they have emerged a force to reckon with in business, education, international investments etc.

Let myopic Yorubas force them back to the SE just to win elections.

In 30 years time, we'll be hearing about federal interventions to address imbalance in geopolitical economic development like we have today in education as evidenced by Educationally disadvantaged states and the federal character principle that enthrones regional representation over merit and qualifications.

This battle is over before it even started.
Only myopic fools will prosecute it.

Lagos is no man’s land, no be so?

helinues:
Why are you people also planning to stop naira payment when it's a local product..

Dangote group is not also sincere

Because NNPC has started selling crude oil in dollars to Dangote.

Validated:
But why do we still have black market though? Everyone with bank account and BVN should be able to access FX at official rate. Anyway, we still hope that Tinubu remembers that his Renewed Hope benchmark was N300 to the $. Even if he can't fulfill his promises, he should return Naira to pre- May 29, 2023 rate of N460. Then, we can commend him. Now, he is only clearing him mess.

There is no black market in reality. It is unofficial market and the rates are almost the same. It is like buying bitcoin at Binance and OKX, there will always be slight differences in price. But arbitrage is almost completely eliminated because of narrow differences in price. You have access to official price if you have the documents. You don’t need much documentation at unofficial market.

Kemetian:
Why must you rule Nigeria before you can be brilliant? What happened to your states?

What did Obi do as governor apart from brewery?

Brilliant question. Was Lagos ruling Nigeria before they became the 5th Largest economy in Africa? Did Lagos rule Nigeria before development started over decades ago? Just dey play!!!

Zionmdde:
Oga petrol tank drivers are not pengassan members
Now answer my question objectively
How did the mechanical engineers, process, safety etc run down the refineries? Did they provide their accounts for people lifting products to pay into?

Can you have some sense? Nupeng members are petrol tanker drivers. Yes, the workers can sabotage a company especially when teleguided by outside evil forces. If you have run a business with n past you will know this.

youngsahito:
how did they use their members to destroy private refinery? You guyz will just talk without understanding anything. Is it Pengasan that stopped the balablu from fixing the refineries after two years of removing subsidy. We are all hypocrite in Nigeria as long as we are not affected by that matter.

Who are the workers in the refineries? Are they not Nupeng members? Who else can destroy where they work if not themselves? Who are those that diverted our petrol to neighbouring countries? Are they not Nupeng members? Who instigated petrol marketers to continue to import petrol and not buy from Dangote? Is it not Nupeng members? So why are you asking the needless question?

Zionmdde:
State practically how pengassan and nupeng destroyed the refinery. Just give me two ways ooooo. And also tell me the member of which union are responsible for all the crude oil production Nigeria have been surviving on

All workers of government refineries are Nupeng and Pengasan members. If refineries are sabotaged, just tell me who else must be involved in the sabotage. Secondly, all petrol tanker drivers diverting all our petrol to neighbouring countries, are they not Nupeng members? Is your question even necessary when the answer is obvious?

Zionmdde:
Small education for you
Union is strictly there to protect the interest of its members so you can't just wake up tomorrow and sack them for nothing without realizing that you are putting them and all their dependents into hardship

What is happening with all these Lebanese and Chinese companies is pure slavery and that's dangote's model. Unionism is one of the major pillars of the UN ILO

You guys can keep supporting injustice, it will reach everybody

Nupeng and Pengasan are toxic pro-importation unions who destroyed our government refineries. They use their members to destroy private refinery so that government can continue importing with subsidy. Thats why Dangote is mad against them.

heykims:
Baba President, go on we dey behind you kampe. We are the most populous black nation on earth with an emerging promising economy, that's enough feat to leverage on.
I know enemies of Nigeria will start to wail, na dem problem especially the 'Yes Daddy' crew.

You mean the yes daddy crew? Wailing is inside their blood, you can’t do anything about it.

EyeCumInPeace:
Let's test their popularity here.

LIKE for Atiku
SHARE for Tinubu

Atikulooters😀😀

Wallade:
Nobody is compelling Dangote Refinery staff to join unions. If you have such evidence, please bring it to the open or floor.

I also never said Dangote Refinery prevents other refineries or people from setting up refineries. That is not within Dangote's control; federal government through her agencies already issues licences for several other refineries.

Go back to school to study monopoly.

You are the one who should go back to school. Go and learn the meaning of monopoly. The Nupeng wants to compel Dangote staff to join them. Dangote does not stop his staff from joining unions.

Wallade:
I agree that Dangote Refinery is not a problem; it is a big solution.

I also see your analogy on DAPPMAN being obsolete and the gradual extinction of Tank Farms in the Nigerian market.

However, a good understanding of Dangote conglomerate would reveal that his businesses thrives on monopolies - he wants pure monopoly of the downstream petroleum products market in the interim.

This will make it very difficult for new entrants into the petroleum refinery business to compete with his structures and dominace..

Dangote Refinery efforts to prevent her staff from Unionism is simply to totally influence and control the activities of her staff and prevent external influences - this can be good but the flip side is when Dangote Refinery takes advantage and exploit the staff, which will happen because Dangote Refinery is a capitalist organization, there will be no pressure group to defend the staff.

As for DAPPMAN, they really should look into setting up some refinery business of their own.

I think you got things wrong. Dangote has not prevented anyone from setting up a refinery. It is therefore not a monopoly.
He has not also stopped staff from joining unions. All he says is that people should not be compelled to join unions.

geoworldedu:
Unlike Religion, scientists generally wouldn't accept this as fact.

He is right. If you have been working in research for long you would have known that. It can be used to serve an agenda. When many sources claim Adam is black, these bogus fellows are claiming the wife is white. How ridiculous can that be?

SmartPolician:
Oga, rest! Buhari and Jonathan built projects across Nigeria without removing the subsidy.

Tinubu should be transparent enough to tell Nigérians how much he saves from subsidy removal every month and what he does with the money.

But then, that name and integrity cannot share the same sentence.

Go and ask your governor joh! Stop blabbing on NL. Governors are using subsidy money to buy suya for girlfriends and you are here complaining.

The6thAustralia:
It would have been better if she had informed the Home Office she lost her Dad and would like to add extra hours.
It's too late now

They won’t even listen to that excuse. After that they would now focus their monitoring on her.

Government should introduce a permanent structure and means test people. Blanket payment to those who don’t need it is a waste of resources. Government must pay more attention to disabled people and test their disability before paying them. People should be asked to apply and interviewed for the payment. These will make the payment more transparent and equitable. It is very naive to just disburse money without these considerations in place.

Some yorubas might think it is a drunkard’s statement. But they nearly actualised their aim in the last election in Lagos where Peter Obi used religion to garner the votes of yoruba Christians against their own blood Tinubu. Their eyes cleared after the lost in Lagos, they nearly lost the governorship election to Sinedu if not that some of them regained their senses and realised the shenanigans of the IPOB represented by Sinedu.

I woke up one morning and saw this on my skin. The pharmacist I went to sid it was airborne disease.
I have taken several antibiotics I even used native treatment and it has refused to go.

It appears like allergic reaction probably due to bee, ant or scorpion sting. Get antihistamine and hydrocortisone cream to rub on it.

NUPENG is one of the beneficiaries of fuel subsidy. Now they have been exposed for their wickedness. The end of NUPENG is nigh.

zero8zero:
Says someone who along with his boss, OBJ couldn't pass the PIB into law till they left office, PDP throughout their sixteen years couldn't pass the bill into law until Buhari did in 2021. But this shameless politician has the gut to come out to talk. The most corrupt VP in the history of Nigeria.

Not just that, did Atiku show transparency, accountability, national interest and future of the nation when he was selling Ajaokuta steel, petrochemical industries, newsprint manufacturing company, steel plants and others during his tenure as vice president? If he did, where are the benefits of such sale today? I am not against the principles he was mentioning, but did he uphold those principles when he was selling our national assets for peanuts to his friends?

Nupeng benefitted in many ways from the subsidy scam. Their members diverted all our petrol to neighbouring countries without sanctioning such members. It is most likely they encouraged the diversion of our petrol. The depot owners must be gratifying them too. Thats why they are crying that depots owners are losing if Dangote directly supplies filling stations.

okpouman:
Sensible person is asking the youths to arise and takeover leadership from the old ones but the same youths would say it's not about age,they would be saying yahaya Bello nko.

May dey dey swegbe for there

Wisdom and knowledge with leadership skills is not about age at all. No research has ever shown age as an important factor in good leadership.

Why are people telling lies like this? Is there any difference between economy is improving but we have not got to destination as against there is no improvement at all? These haters of Tinubu will never admit they are losers.

It is most likely allergic reaction. Is it itchy?

Mariangeles:
These daughters of jezebel called side-chics.

Like I've stated before; nobody hate wives like the side-chics.
The ultimate goal is to take the place of the wife.

You agaracha men, keep your concubines on a leash! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Before Chineke akpochaa unu oku!

Have you considered his statements where he said he called his wife to come with him to his places of work but she refused? She has obviously been denying him of the congo for some time. Some men cannot hold body for long. That may explain the reason for getting a sidechick.

oyatz:
This is similar to the usual excuses of failed siblings, blaming their most successful siblings that 'all the money that our parents had were used to educate Broda Yemi/ Aunty Aminat' now, he forgets us.

The real reason why other States witnessed slower growth: collapses of over 300 manufacturing companies scattered across Nigeria between 1986-2007 and replacement, with culture of massive importation. This led to great rural-urban migration.

The guy is igborant. As popular as he is, he is equally ignorant. A ship just berthed at Onitsha port recently. Onne port is now receiving ship frequently. There is Calabar and Warri ports. Many dry inland ports have been established in Kaduna, Ibadan and other places. Government cannot force people to use them. They should have asked importers why they prefer Lagos ports. Same with airport. There is Maiduguri, Kano, Abuja and Port Harcourt including Owerri international airports. Why are airlines including local ones avoid them? It has more to do the government and welcoming people of Lagos. It has to do with security of lives and property being protected by progressive government of Lagos. It has to do with weather and Atlantic ocean. It has to do with population of Lagos. VDM cannot do anything about that. Perhaps Lagos should secede from Nigeria and lets see who is holding the other backward.
