Dbegining:
Thank you for trying to educate me.

But, in my humble and very little knowledge, let me make something clear to you.

Nigeria has had a Balance of Payment (BOP) deficit since the 1990's

No nation on Earth has ever used income from diaspora (Current Account) to flip the position of it's BOP. It has never happened and it won't happen with Nigeria. So, the talk of inflation will come down and rhe value of Naira will improve won't happen based on increase in remittance from diaspora.

You know why? Cause only a producing economy can bring about that. A industrialized country - a category which Nigeria currently doesn't fall into.

You said it's a long walk. I disagree. It's an impossible walk.

Okay let us educate you further now. Nigeria has had a positive balance of payment of 5 trillion in last two years. This has not happened for over ten years. It is happening now, what you thought would never happen. We told you that you need to read and learn about the changes happening gradually.

Dbegining:
Proof of reform or proof of a dying economy? It

Proof of reform or proof of a suffering people? These monies are not for investment but rather monies sent to loved ones from the diaspora. That means the cost of living has increased and begging has increased.


I really condemn in the strongest of terms how this government calls it's bad economic decisions reforms.

Where do we start to educate you now? You have a long way to go in understanding whats going on. Eventually the value of naira will improve and this will also improve inflation and reduce poverty eventually. It is a long walk which will eventually be happy for everyone.

Only $600 million a month at this point in time? Yikes! Nigerians in diaspora no dey too send money home again abi wetin? At this rate, the county will fall far short of previous high of about $17 billion a year from the diaspora.😐😐😐😐

Most of that $17 billion came through informal channels. And government had no access to most of that dollars falling in private hand. Very little amount of $200 million and below was coming through official means. That is changing now. Most Nigerians in diaspora are now choosing official channels as the naira value has been harmonised between official and black markets. This means more dollars is flowing into official channels to be used by government to increase forex reserves and stabilise the value of naira and even increase the value of naira as compared to dollars.

jmoore:
Lagos did not generate half of the VAT in Nigeria.

VAT is recorded on point of sale. Nigeria has no system of recording point of sale VAT deductions so it is false to say Lagos generates half of VAT in Nigeria.

Example: Someone will buy mtn recharge card in Aba, but the VAT will be credited to Lagos because MTN headquarters is in Lagos.

Reno Omokri should go for education. VAT is paid by the consumer, not by the company. The company is only acting as an agent to collect the VAT.

Its not only VAT. Lagos generates more than 35% of Nigeria’s GDP. Most of federal revenue apart from oil comes from Lagos. It is the commercial capital of Nigeria.

DoctorStanley:
What does "unaffiliated" mean?
And what's the difference between "unaffiliated" and "other religions"?

They are atheists and agnostics.

zero8zero:
After the last LG election in Kaduna and ADC came last.. 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡

Another Orubebe is warming up 😀😀😀

adabaraabdul:
the woman na Naval officer? If YES then the question will now be; what is the law in the Navy on a married female Naval personnel smashing another personnel. If the answer is no, then the NVy has no business with her. Her husband should handle the issue.

It is stated that he smooched the wife of a personnel. We are not sure if she was also a personnel of Navy.

CJStarz:
And the woman went Scot free?

I was going to ask them that! Does it not take two to tango? Was she raped or coaxed into the relationship?

It is a racist xenophobic agenda. Ordinarily no foreigner will get a job if an equally qualified British white man applies for same job. I am 99% sure of that. The only 1% situation is when the employer wants to pay lower wages which a British would not accept, or where the employer prefers black man for their hard work and dedication.

Kobojunkie:
And you have visited this hell yourself to know for sure that people who die this way in fact end up there? Nonsense!

Your eyes will clear when you die. I will be quoting “nonsense” for you by then if I have access to seeing you then.

Does this fee include include the cost of posting it?

arantess:
You did not pay dowry but she is your wife, HOW?

You were cohabiting and not married in the eyes of God and the law

As for the woman, na express to hell

Sometimes I wonder if people think of dying while committing adultery, and where they expect to find themselves if they kpai in the process. Those doing these things are playing a dangerous gamble because I don’t know of any other place than hell if they should kick the bucket in such filthy situations.

So Obidafts have been hiding this news😀😀😀. Everyday Obi is enmeshed in scandals and rubbish.

gerrardomendes:
...and borrowing more on the other hand for frivolous lifestyle.

Who told you he is borrowing more than previous governments? Just check how much Buhari borrowed and compare to Tinubu.

Chimarto:
Is not by landmass oooo Iran's landmass is far more than Israel but Israel is beating Iran,Syria, Yemen, Labanon + others like babies.

Anambra maybe small but it population density is more than Niger is it's aligned by landmass proportion.


Comparison of Landmass: Israel vs. Iran, Yemen, and Syria

Israel has a total land area of approximately 22,072 km².3c452f For context, this figure includes areas like the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem, though these are not universally recognized as part of Israel. Here's how it compares to the specified countries (using total area figures for consistency in international comparisons):
Iran: 1,648,195 km²1bcdba — Iran is about 75 times larger than Israel.
Yemen: 527,968 km²4407fe — Yemen is about 24 times larger than Israel.
Syria: 185,180 km²41e636 — Syria is about 8 times larger than Israel.
These comparisons highlight Israel's relatively small size in the region, with its neighbors possessing significantly more expansive territories.
Comparison of Niger State and Enugu State in Nigeria
Assuming "Nigeria state" refers to Niger State (a common typo or autocorrect for "Niger State," one of Nigeria's 36 states), here's a comparison of landmass and population density between Niger State and Enugu State. Data is based on the most recent available estimates as of 2022.
Landmass:
Niger State: 76,363 km²dd952d (the largest state in Nigeria by area).
Enugu State: 7,161 km²610838 (one of the smaller states, ranking 29th out of 36).
Comparison: Niger State is about 10.7 times larger than Enugu State in land area.
Population and Density (using 2022 estimates):
Niger State: Population of approximately 6,783,300.1922ff Population density is about 89 people per km² (calculated as population divided by area: 6,783,300 ÷ 76,363 ≈ 88.8, rounded up).
Enugu State: Population of approximately 4,690,100.1b52c0 Population density is about 655 people per km² (calculated as 4,690,100 ÷ 7,161 ≈ 654.9, rounded up).
Comparison: While Niger State has a slightly higher population, its much larger land area results in a far lower density. Enugu State is more densely populated, reflecting its smaller size and more urbanized characteristics in southeastern Nigeria. Densities may vary slightly with updated projections, but northern states like Niger generally have lower densities due to more rural and arid landscapes, while southeastern states like Enugu are denser due to fertile land and higher urbanization.

Can you stop the fake comparison? You must add the whole of America to that of Isreal because Isreal is a twin brother of America. There is no comparison in that. Isreal cannot stand alone for 1 minute without American support. So what comparison are you making?

TenQ:
Do you know any instance since inception of Hisbah in Kano or any of the Northern states where a known millionaire has been arrested for drinking or adultery or any haram things. Except your argument is that Rich people do not engage in Zinah or theft.

Ganduje is an example: is he guilty of anything in Islam?
WHy is it that Hisbah has not summon him for questioning?

For anyone you bring I will give you twenty poor people under the judgement of Islam

Islam is different from muslims. When muslim leaders refuse to met punishment to themselves, they have will be punished by God on the day of judgement. It is their fault, not that of religion. When catholic bishops and priests molest children, is the fault from bible?

TenQ:
Islam is for the Rich.


They can get away with ANY thing and they would be protected by the same system that will unleash koboko on a poor adulterous muslim woman.


We are still waiting for kano Hisbah to speak on Dangote's partial nudes released by his estranged concubine till tomorrow.

Islam is for everyone, not just the rich. Any leader that uses his position for breaking the law will answer for it in this world and the day of judgment.

Botragelad:
Of course, you won't see her in a hijab or burqa. And you don't see any man forcing her to cover up.

This is the difference. While some are still brainwashed into committing terrorist acts in the name of their religion and ideology, others are choosing to live in the modern world and move forward. It's funny how converts are often the first to make excuses for their extremism.

You got it wrong. There is nothing moral or righteous about your so-called modern world. She has been brought up not according to Islamic teachings and morals. Thats the fault of their parents. Western lifestyles has no morality in it. Tell me the morality in nudity and pornography? Just one benefit of it, tell me? Every parent will answer for how they brought up their children, whether you are a king or poor person, it doesn’t matter. And there is nothing moral or connection between wearing hijab and terrorism. Terrorists are criminals and must be dealt with. Ignorance is a disease. So go back to school and learn and stop spewing ignorance in daylight Nairaland. Can you tell me: do IPOB terrorists wear hijab?

ZaraArewa:
Like his commitment level is zero, but he's someone who cares.

Thats not enough. Real care is to take you in as wife in a responsible and long lasting relationship.

kunlesufyan:
Single accident?

It’s possible the deceased dosed off while driving.

This is highly possible, considering the time of the day, perhaps skidded off the barrier and summersaulted.

Toruibestate:
Come back Goodluck Jonathan Rally took place at PDP Headquarters Abuja today.
Note: when GEJ came out to debunk the Wizkid Instagram Account of his saying it wasn't from him, he never debunk the rumour of his second coming.


He never said the PDP Presidency he wouldn't come because he went to the last convention and said he see Nigeria calling him to serve again hence the chant GEJ GEJ everywhere.
North had learnt their lesson and now begging for him to come back.


@General Ditari

They didn’t learn any lesson. They are happy Buhari led, even if it was disastrous.

anonimi:
How is 75% in less than two years of what his expired northerner spent in eight years, equal to serious efforts?

What arithmetic formula does that?

Meanwhile, any logical explanation for why ebilokan is borrowing more money than previous presidents after his $84 billion subsidy savings that has made petrol and everything else very expensive and choking people

Nigeria’s debt is $2 billion less than he met it. What are you talking about?

CodeTemplarr:
What policy or directive is yielding results? Yeye dey worri you.

When food prices increase, na Tinubu cause am. But when prices reduce, na Obi cause am😀😀

OneCandleAway:
Mmm
Going to work in Abuja daily from kaduna. I've never heard of that one. I know of people going from suleja, keffi, to Abuja daily but isn't kaduna too far for a Monday to Friday work schedule.

They mostly return in weekend to return on Monday.

Atlantis585:
Meanwhile, while a foreign country is opening up their arms and welcoming Nigerians, some Yoruba people want non-indigenes to go back to their regions.

I hope the Japs will not regret very soon what the yorubas are regretting. Land grabbing, domination and developer mentality is in the blood of some Nigerians who will be moving to Japs.

pdppower:
By the time our developer brothers start developing it now the govt will regret their action

Nzogbu brothers, oya, over to you. Opportunity to run away from the zoo.😀😀😀

Racoon:
Nice development for the Tinubu's government. However, forex upwards climb with no commensurate decline in inflation is of no use to a nation

Inflation has declined in last four months.
