malali:
[b]The Past Nigerian administration lack revenue generating ideas, they have been running the pocket money economy system. Instead of taking revenue generated from the oil boom since late 70's till date. They have just looted the money and used the rest to subsidize lifestyle of Nigerians (fuel subsidy). Now they can barely afford the subsidy and also pay salaries, pension and also politicians. So they are transferring the subsidy to the common man, this will free up cash for them to loot, and run the government. Eventually even without paying subsidy there still wont be enough cash to run the government (We are already in this stage, thats why they keep borrowing money up and down, which devalues our currency). See some countries that have also used the same oil to prosper their nation as a whole.
Norway: Norway has built a sovereign wealth fund, known as the Government Pension Fund Global, which invests proceeds from oil and gas production. The fund is one of the largest in the world and has investments in various sectors globally, providing a stable source of income for the country.

United Arab Emirates (UAE): The UAE, particularly Dubai and Abu Dhabi, has diversified its economy beyond oil by investing heavily in sectors such as tourism, real estate, finance, and technology. Dubai, in particular, has become a global hub for trade, finance, and tourism.

Qatar: Qatar has leveraged its natural gas reserves to become one of the world's leading exporters of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Additionally, Qatar has invested in various sectors, including finance, real estate, and sports, to diversify its economy.

Singapore: Although Singapore does not produce oil itself, it has established itself as a major trading and refining hub for oil and petroleum products in the Asia-Pacific region. Singapore has also diversified its economy into sectors such as finance, shipping, biotechnology, and tourism.

Malaysia: Malaysia has developed a diverse economy, with thriving manufacturing, services, and tourism sectors alongside its oil and gas industry. The country has also invested in infrastructure projects and technology to support economic growth.

Netherlands: The Netherlands, home to one of Europe's largest natural gas reserves, has invested oil and gas revenues into developing a highly advanced economy with strong industries in agriculture, manufacturing, trade, and services.

These countries serve as examples of how strategic planning, prudent investment, and diversification efforts can help mitigate the economic risks associated with dependence on oil revenues. By investing in other sectors and fostering innovation, these nations have been able to thrive beyond their oil wealth.[/b]
Why bother yourself with this long story? Nigeria isn't ready yet. I've stopped writing any epistle cos it's time-wasting.

How can you have such vast lands everywhere but can't empower the Youths on agriculture? Agriculture fetches countries that practice them much more than oil in revenue...and each time they claim they're reeling out agriculture programmes, theyd disburse the money to states and ask governors to share them....it's like giving fish to a cat to share. What happened to the bank of agriculture?

A reasonable government wouid set up an independent entity to screen those who are interested and forward their names to the bank of agriculture for the loan requested, then they'd visit site and monitor progress, etc. Let's see if rice won't become sufficient in 3 years. We'd even be exporting cos we have all it takes...Good soil and population. Indonesia came to Nigeria in the 70s to learn how we grew palm oil and became a major exporter. Today, they're the largest exporters of palm oil globally. That's a serious-minded country.

I've come to realise the fact that, those who agitated for democracy during the military era only did so for their selfish gains. We know their worth today...those who own 3 jets but without a single manufacturing company to their credit..many Nigerians are so daft, sorry to say, by follw8mg these men who always deceive them. Why won't Nigerians be in such mess when they know that, 99% of the time, they'd always fall for their lies, using bigotry and tribalism as a tool to cajole them in every election. What the democracy agitators are now doing is worse than what they said the military was doing back then.

Only the masses can rescue themselves from the hands of all these elite politicians but they're not ready yet. The psalmist says I will lift up my eyes onto the hills, from where commeth my help, my help cometh from the Lord, who creates heaven and earth. I don't depend on government to live rather I proffer solutions to them. Na the masses I pity pass and their blind supporters who think they'd get their daily meal from them by always vitong them wit their lies. they'd be disappointed again and again.

CrimeRe: Amotekun Intercepts Trucks With Weapons, Charms In Ondo by Eriokanmi:
The government and our greedy politicians know what to do to maintain peace and harmony in the land. But for their selfish gains, they'd not do it.

The meaning of Democracy had been turned upside down in Nigeria by our avaricious politicians with their inordinate ambitions. When the people whom you're meant to serve are giving you solutions to seemingly unending problems but you're looking the other way, it simply means you're no more their servant but their boss. When a large number of Nigerians said state policing is the panacea to ending insecurity in Nigeria buhari and his apc people kept turning it down. They said state police would be manipulated by governors and politicians, as if the Nigeria police force aren't being used to dabaru elections and snatch ballot boxes, as if they're not being used by the ruling party to harass the opponents.

Today, katsina people are the hardest hit, followed by their neighbouring states. Now, they're coming to our land. Thanks to Aketi for his bravery on the amotekun formation. May his soul RIP. The entire South west would have become a ghost town by now cos the evil people had heinous plans.

You did worst during Jonathan era. The opposition isn't trying at all. They ought to have shut down major cities by now as you did back then over insecurity without knowing your regime would be worse. I think they're too soft .
I wish I was Jonathan, he caused all the mess we're in today by not doing the needful and allowing the propagandists have their way into government. I'd have locked up all the protest sponsors till leaving office, cos the power to do so rested on him. People would have wailed and kept quet by the time their leaders were picked and locked up. You'd just charge them for treason and the case would be adjourned perpetually. Future politicians must learn from his weakness.

Because,we are all Not Productive enough, except, with Few, to earn good Money from Exports,for all we care is Oil,Oil and Oil.
Worse is that even the Oil Money is being Stolen through ( Corruption)!
Nobody cares for the Youths and the Masses!
This is not even the case. The major problem of Nigeria is massive corruption and bad economic politics. There are many great countries who don't have oil, neither is their economy export-driven but their GDP remains strong. Crude oil is supposed to be a blessing to us likewise our population.

You borrow money to do roads for instance, the road was awarded at triple its normal cost. You still did not do the road well. 3 years later, you borrowed to patch the same road done.

An accountant general stole over 100bn , when ASUU was asking for same amount to upgrade our university system but the federal government said, no money. See the massive corruption at the aviation sector. Hadi sirika slapped over 200m Nigerians by fraudulently bringing into Nigeria an Ethiopian airplane painted in Nigeria colour and called it Nigeria Air. The corruption cuts across all sectors. Instead of patronising Peugeot like the military did, you went and ordered expensive Toyota suv and shared among lawmakers who are highest paid in the world. All these wouid have a great negative effect on our economy.

During the military era, when obasanjo took office and followed by Jonathan administration, what were we exporting than crude? Was our economy not strong? Obj came and built up our foreign reserves out of virtually nothing. What were we expecting than crude? An export-driven economy is fine, but it would have just been a boost to our already strong economy if well-managed. Our problem has never been being an import dependent nation.

A major political figure moved 2 bullion vans into his building at the eye of the public, where did he see it? He had jets when he's not dangote, how many manufacturing companies does he have? Instead of asking questions, they were defending him. We're such a funny nation..all these nonsense won't happen in a responsible country. Such a fellow will rot in jail. See a government that's less than a year old, already stealing public money, outting it in an individual account?

proeast:
Look at the foolish ones talking rubbish. So, Nigerians should keep their money in naira and watch their hard earned money become worthless? This man here probably has vast stash saved in dollars just like corrupt politicians but they want Nigerians to suffer alone.
After announcing last week that they'd use over 30bn dollars stashed in various banks to safe the free fall of naira, the money which the CBN later debunked,, a lot of people, including politicians have besieged banks and withdrawn all their dollars.

From time immemorial, any news from the federal government coffers which were carried by major newspapers were later debunked later became real. I can't be mentioning scenarios. The most recent one was the electricity tariff which they first debunked. Now, its become a reality. Maybe the cbn had envisaged that people would react swiftly and pack all their dollars before they implement the policy, they now debunked it. Nigerians are wiser than they think. How can you convert usd to naira at a rate you would now dictate to the owners of those dollars?

The politicians aren't left out today among those who thronged banks and took their dollars away. That's the reason dollar rate fell since last Saturday. I bought dollar at 1407 today, imagine. Early last week it was sold above 1,500. Dollar don yapa now and its estimated to fall further.

All these international banks will be hardest hit and that's why the standard chartered man was shouting 😃. A lot of people must have emptied their dollar vaults today.

TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Eriokanmi: 7:58pm On Feb 04, 2024
slimmsyyetty:
Exactly my opinion, too. Students on study visa of 1 year travel with one way ticket without issues, how much more a super visa of 2 or more years for older adults... The least duration given at POE for a super visa 2 years and as high as 5 years, so do they expect a return ticket for someone coming in on a 5 year stay?

In fact, her health insurance is important at POE than return ticket. The mum can simply tell them she is on a super visa and would buy her return ticket when she is ready to leave but I doubt it she would even be asked because the status of her visa is on her passport already.

Older parents or grandparents can't seek asylum because they are also dependant on their family members that invited them. They can't even work with it so I believe they won't have issues at POE because of a return ticket. But with a visit visa even as a great great grand parent grin, you must have your return ticket within 6 months

But nonewisthanding, I respect people's choices.
Thanks for this info. I think sanyaolurilwan should stick to this advice for her mum's ticket. None of my relations had ever lived in Canada before, talk less of any of my parents visiting them on a super visa. We only visit on vacation and attend programmes. My earlier pieces of advice was strictly on a visit visa which I know so much about. I know less about super visa holders obtaining a one-way ticket, which is why I'd want you to take his advice. Regards.

Also knowing Nigerians, someone would grumble about hacks and about viruses and write a lot about how the system was hacked.

The problem with Nigerians is they think election is free and fair if their side wins.
They always use these excuses to suit their selfish gains. Why not say they're not using their phone number to transfer money cos it will be hacked ? Why not say they must always go to the bank to transact in order to ensure safety of the money in their accounts? Why use emails to do business across the border? Its all excuses .

They know with electronic voting system in place, many of them will become politically irrelevant cos people don't like them. They're only forcing themselves there, using power, force and influence.
