Basic problem why Nigerians opposed subsidy.....people could not see beyond cheap fuel (It was not because people did not like GEJ...people do not want to pay N200 per liter for fuel/PMS).

But the subsidy has to go. (Yes....even PDP opponents like me see the need for it to go)....especially now that we do not have the money to fund it.Even if it means paying N250 per liter for fuel.

Ok good but people like me who saw the writing in the wall.but with due respect subsidy should be left alone however the fraud around subsidy should be removed.open the market for everyone.even those who can import one tanker.This is the reason why me n yoy can still buy cars.if it's limited to a few we would be paying premuium or getting it subsidised 2.

bushdoc9919:
For now...the best we can do is what the CBN is doing...hoarding money ie dollars....to buffer the naria.

Thanks to the fall in oil prices, we do not have enough dollars to buffer the naira....hence the fall in value.

Long term, we may have to remove subsidies, and end government waste....and industrialise....to get the value of the naora up again

Na lie we nor gree.don't end no subsidy. We would have gone past that if everyone support GEJ to end it.

tpiander:
hope it appreciates at some point.

Don't worry Baba body language will solve this problem

with all dis shoot shhot, me i rather stay in the Uk B4 sombody wey no like maths teacher go shooot my pikin 4 class sake of say Him hate maths and the maths teacher.

gists:
That is a very valid food for thought.
I am never an advocate of the idea that one can never make it until s/he travels out. Its the "grass is greener on the other side syndrome".
But then, why will it be a mission impossible for many graduates (even with masters) working in Nigeria to have financial fulfillment when people that ventures abroad seem to be thriving - even though those adventurous people may (or may not) be doing "unskilled" job.

But the fact is that, to a large extent their is dignity of labour over there and people see nothing wrong in being a cab driver, plumber, electrician etc. In fact they are proud of it and as the write-up suggests, a cab driver is able to build a house in Lekki!

However, what I have problem with is people selling their house here in naija and relocate abroad, only to be living in one room apartment doing 2 to 3 jobs a day. In all people should sincerely evaluate their situation before "checking out". The grass may just be greener here. But then, some people simple do not have any choice other than to relocate.

I like your objective thinking, let me give you a situation of a friend I know,Sold his house N3M,moved to the UK, his younger Bro moved with him, they both went underground and worked in the black labour mkt, doing 12 hours shift daily.cos of the long hours their take home each was always above £1800 monthly so in total they both generate £3600 monthly B4 rent and food and other xpences. rent was £500 cos they both live in one room.the jointly post £1500 home each month thats more than N500k so if they do this for 3 years the would have saved N18M.At teh 4th year they decide to pack up and return back to Nigeria, would you say they have made a wise decision?

sledjama:
that is a whooping 3.9 trillion naira
equivalent to 3,900 billion naira for those having a hard time understanding why the whole of nigeria is coming to a standstill.
for those who love numbers, it is 3,924,618,100,000 naira only.

this woman breaks the guinness world record

That was meant to let you know the write was making mockery on Nigerians rather than the woman.

gmyguy:
lol...you insult yasef
No offence, but that sounds literally cool.
Its just that...
A thief is a thief and an innocenti is an innocenti...but let the courts decide

Diezani Caught Trying To Buy Hyde-Park, London - TheSun.co.uk .

This write up needs to be confirmed. Guess it's someone trying to malign and further tarnish her reputation. Is that kelvin email really of the sun tabliod of the UK? I doubt I just visited their website and their email does not follow that pattern.

Nigerians just seem to fall for all they want to believe, hear or read.

God have mercy

What the writer just posted is calling all Nigerians fraud stars, Im surprised people post on here without understanding.#1 hyde park do not cost £1B hence the writer said he is surprised she did not buy the whole of hyde park.just incase you don't know Hyde park belongs to HRM so its not for sale.

mbulela:
On a more serious note, SUN and its silly sensationalism.
I hope we take their article with some dose of salt.
I know she stole but I doubt it reached like this.
Sane people are not so brazen in their stealing.

That aint the sun

Babalegba:
What are you on about, it's on the Sun's website.

Once again that's not the sun website
Check www.the sun.Co. uk

Finally, I wonder where The Sun UK got the £13 billion value from

That was someone commenting on the sun.not the sun reporting.them don start

klax:
Show of shame so is now UK that will front fight against corruption isn't And that funny isn't It's better Nigeria change their name to *Niger area United Kingdom* and be given a post code I think that will be cool for the banana republic called Nigeria.

Ibori stole our money but went to prison in UK, Madueke stole our money about to to prison in UK and you are calling Nigeria a country I guess No. One good day one if the ex Nigeria president will also go to jail in UK becayse when you have country that no integrity and are bunch if shameless heads white or foreingner push them around like goat and humiliating them at will.


Condoleeza Rice came for a useless meeting in Nigeria that same period MKO was poison it was revealed that she should be send back to Nigeria yo testify during El Mustache case did US accepted rather they said and I quote * our citizen can not stand trial in foreign country no matter the offense* but Ibori can be jailed in UK, now the next target is Madueke isn't and that sound funny, right

They stole our money but get hailed in another man's land and to some idiot that is cool in the hand of all these wicked imperialist Were they not seen her when she was dumping the money in their country After they have enjoyed the share of gain from the looted cash and satisfy now they realised is money laundry and corruption isn't?

We have been waiting for even BBC London to air this news nothing like that yet.

sleemfesh:
You sound stewpede.

Very very

Smooyis:
From all indications, it is clear that Nigeria economy will be on the upward swing by next year. Kudos to PMB osinbajo administration.

Ok we are waiting for may next year

Joeoku78:
A fmr petroleum minister and a woman for that matter indicted by the senate of the 7th assembly for embezzlement of public fund and you are saying that she is innocent. Even goat living in the bush knew the hopeless and scandalous roles she played in the oil industry. Your madam is a thief and must be sentenced to prison in london. After serving london prison, she will face prosecution in nigeria and jailed again until she rots in the prison. Your madam does not deserve mercy because she is cruel, wicked and delvish. If no other person is sentenced she must be sentenced to finish in prison and all her illegal assets acquired by her as if there will be no tomorrow must be collected by government of nigeria. We are glad that a fearless and a no nonsense president Buhari is in charge.

Plz let's keep sentiments out.apart frm the craap jonalist in Nigeria name one mews media who said she was arrested in the UK plz.

otukpo:
We don't know what to believe again.

9ja is such a joke.the reason for the arrest has nothing to do with Nigeria.it's a diff may a for the UK govt hence they mentioned no name. Where the Nigerian press got the Information I dnt know. Her name is not in any news media in the UK.

EgunMogaji:
I just might be down there in the same timeframe though highly unlikely but who knows.

I have my travel documents for early next year though, it's time to thrust a structure into the Mogaana Village skyline In Sha Allah

No problem, all is well, the sand must rise December

mt7511:
@encrypt I found an xposed module that can change imei. Is that what you're talking about?

A lot of people here don't bother reading comments or really thinking before they respond.

1. Konga, jumia & co don't sell used phones.
2. The phone supposedly wasn't on a contract when I bought it. I did not pay the subsidized contract rate. The seller advertised it as unlocked for use on any gsm network and that's why I bought it.
3. The amount I paid was quite reasonable considering it was being brought back to Nigeria by a friend. Probably even cheaper than I would have paid in computer village.
4. I don't think amazon does an imei and esn check on phones advertised on the site. Only swappa does that.

I'm sure I've answered most of the ignorant and unnecessarily hateful comments. If you don't have anything valuable to add to the thread, move along and save your data.

how did you know it was black listed and not locked to Tmobile?

mt7511:
Hello house. I bought a used phone on amazon. When it arrived here in Nigeria and I put in my sim it did not work. I checked online and the imei has been blacklisted by t-mobile.

Please is there any solution for this problem? Can I unlock it or have the imei changed? I can't return the phone because the cost of shipping it back is very high.

Please house I need urgent help so this phone doesn't turn to a waste. Thanks.

Who told you that you have to pay for returns.black listed phones where stollen so mail amazon and complain they will refund your money not the seller. Then they will deal with the seller as they have his bank details.

EgunMogaji:
Thanks Man, I appreciate your comments as you are unique in knowing AmeriLondon Vs Naija landscape and running shyte remotely.

The rain is a double edge sword. I need it to help compress the filings but it's stopping filing from getting to site in the first place

But it's a nice stress and actually a nice distraction from daily hustle over here

I know.hence I decided to get down December. I'm counting down now I can say I can't wait to tear shut down

okinlee:
I know of Nigerians getting their Phd's in Malaysian Universities and excelling well both at home and abroad and a lot even working for Petronas and the likes....but the topic of discuss is not about them but rather about the ills that majority commit......which unfortunately is what we are defined by ......try and visit either Malaysia or Singapore with your green passport and tell us about your experience with the immigration at the point of entry.....Nigerian passport holders are selectively taken to a special section for further re-examination before they let you in regardless of your status or moral standing....which means we are not defined by the phd holders nor the Nigerian expats but by those that commit these evils......note that I narrated the story of just a taxi driver.....he didn't tell me that people like me do positive things in their country but bad bad and very bad things.....

No sir we are saying his 500k Nigerians is false.and craaapp write up full stop.and how do you know I own a green passport?

okinlee:
the OP is right and thank you for this wonderful piece....I was opportune to be in Malaysia and (later Singapore) as an expatriate (i am Nigerian but was working for a foreign company) few years back and one of the things the Malaysian taxi driver told me was that I should avoid Nigerian girls when i visit nightclubs that they always have pimps working for them and are potential dangers....he also told me about Nigerian drug dealers in their country and how they use 'juju' to evade conviction....he even said that the punishment for drug pushing is death by hanging but some Nigerians have magical powers that prevent them from death even after hanging....he told me of a case about a Nigerian that did not die after hanging for many days and they had to lay watch for days......it is also true about East African prostitutes as I met a lot of Kenyans in Singapore and Malaysia...there is a visa free scheme between Malaysia and Singapore with some of these East African countries which makes it easy for them to enter but their prostitution is mainly after low hanging fruits and not as sophisticated as the Nigerians....

All this plenty plenty thing you write you nor fit give us xtimates. How many Nigerians did you personally Co. E across

vascable:
do yo own research and lets compare

Dem don fall your hand.

989900:
That was just my own opinion of posibilities.

Fair enough. But I recon the EFCC had go e on blackmailing and using this fabrication as an excuse to raid her house but also in every lie there are traces of truth.she has not come out to say anything even though this news is trending on social media 2nd day running.or is it that she was arrested in the UK but for something else we are yet to know about?

EgunMogaji:
Duly noted.

Ah you are back to the big apple.project going nice I see ur progress on ground.nothing like knowing exactly what needs to be done next.the rains are not making boys smile on site so I heard.

989900:
You've said it all.

The irony is, she can be jailed in the UK on different charges, then deported back to Nigeria with the EFCC waiting for her on some entirely different indictment -- depending on what they find.

But there was no mention of this in any of the news house .ie BBC.it etc.how come it's just the Nigerian Media reporting it?

uncle005:
Chai! you dey UK? If true you are in UK as claimed, with this kind of write up i will not go to UK again.

Ah na wah oh so I need proof reading for mumu like yu to read ni?

softvio:
when people has nothing reasonable to say. They result to hallucinated-stupidity just to please their fellow low minded fellows.

Or get high on cheap weed

RockMaxi:
The process has began, passport confiscated.

So no news house in london thought it was good enough to write about it.can't yoy see the writing on the wall?EFCC has used this as excuse to seal her house.

sunnyb0b0:
Sauce don land on top there

Fake news we dey UK no mainstream media carried it.the never mentioned any names.nor nationality or of they where men or women. Anything to tan ish GEJ is a good store for the Nigerian press and Mumus as usual will buy the stories
