The questions Merchant!.
Continue to be asking questions.
I hope you get paid at month ending

Google is where questions are answered for free.
You have to make payments before I answer any question from you again

The only solution is to proscribe the parallel market as a terrorist organization.

Subsidy beneficiaries are currently facing the music.

The parallel market needs a courageous decision against from the president if we want our naira to have value again

N206 profit without manufacturing anything to improve the economy of the country after collecting dollars from the bank is terrorism and economic sabotage

Same thing with subsidy
Government won't go after the wicked beneficiary but would rather inflict pains on all Nigerians

What then is the point banning importation of selected foreign goods that only the poor can benefit from if the rich can't accept luxury cars made in Nigeria

lexy2014:


since you have an international passport, then my question shouldnt be difficult for you to answer. lets try again.

How does immigration collect revenue due to passport issuance?

Oh! I see!
You are an Immigration officer.
Firs is coming
The time to face your real work has finally come.
Who won't need to deal with money with your uniform anymore
Passport fee will now pass through a transparent channel.
No more corruption
Hope is now renewed

It is obvious you don't have an international passport.
You can try to get one at the nearest immigration office to you then come back to share your experience

Good!
Firs should collect revenue in immigration for them to focus on their work.. the corruption just to collect passport is too high.

They should also collect revenue for police so that highway extortion should stop

Let him find his way into Europe where the poor can breathe

Or wait for the 8k for 6 months of this government

Extortion, bribery, multiple taxation and corruption are the basic reasons the entire nation is suffering.
The more money the few in charge are making, the more the sufferings of Nigerians.

ICPC AND EFCC has failed
How many uniform men have they prosecuted for extortion at the airport, at the border and on any road in Nigeria?
How many airport officials have they arrested for bribery and corruption?

An item with landing cost of N205 sells in the market for N1500 in Nigeria because of all this wicked people in uniform and tie

I see no reason why the unbanked should have assess to money deducted from the banked as charges.
This people have money but not willing to help the state economy with it. How many of then pay taxes, nepa bill etc?
Yet, they keep their money to themselves alone with high security threat to the state.. No matter how poor you are in the south, you will have a bank account as a contribution to data, economy and security

Claim A claim by IPMAN that Nigeria has the cheapest petrol in Africa made headlines.
The National Public Relations Officer of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Yakubu Suleiman, has said that even with the sudden hike in the pump price of petrol in Nigeria, the country still has the cheapest price of the
product among other African countries.


Verification A quick check in Libya shows that the price of octane-95 gasoline is 0.15 Libyan Dinar per liter. 0.15 Libyan dinar is 0.032 dollars which is 25 naira.

https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/Libya/gasoline_prices/

Verdict: Libya has the cheapest petrol in Africa

Where is the so called market forces that only inflict pains on Nigerians ?

nairalanda1:


It is competing. The issue is

The climate and the cost of labour.

Nigerian rice is very labour intensive, and is grown on irrigated land...which means a lot of extra costs

Thai rice is grown in a country that is basically forested and rainy. And has an environment good for rice growing. Same thing happens in Brazil. Also, mechanized.

So, the only way for a Nigerian farmer to stay competitive and pay for the extra costs is by selling at high prices.

If Nigeria was like Thailand...forested, with a lot of rivers, and with all year rain....rice would be very very cheap.

Just like saying we should ban importation of petrol to allow Kaduna and portharcourt refineries only to produce the petrol we consume locally for many years now not minding if it quantity and cost will cripple the economy of the nation as a whole just to save the jobs of the rich children working there.
You know we can't survive on that but since expensive rice only affects the poor, the poor are free to die?

They kept collecting salary as workers at the refinery till date with the rate at which we import petrol.
Why can't we also allow the poor to also breath with cheaper rice importation?

nairalanda1:


Importing is a job, but at the end, it has the effect of stifling industries at home (we lost our textile industry partly because of cheaper imports from abroad, for example).

Yeah, we all want cheap stuff, but at the end, we have to beware about the effects on jobs.

(This is a big issue in the USA. Americans want cheap stuff, so companies do most manufacturing abroad, where there is cheap labor and reimport the thing back to the US, meanwhile USA loses jobs because no one wants to make things in USA because labour is expensive).

At the end, however, there has to be more mechanized rice farming in Nigeria....so that we can have increased production and possibly lower prices.

It's a connundrum.

We live in a wicked country where you give farmers free seedlings, seeds, fertilizer, tools, equipment, CBN direct cash intervention and yet their produce selling price cannot compete at the international market. Yet we ban any competition by import ban just to spite us by seeing international price online but buying at outrageous local prices

nairalanda1:


While I agree with you that banning imports is not exactly the way to go, the fact is, overimportation is a big part of why we do not have jobs and why we have issues like banditry and other criminal issues.

No jobs, no work...crime rises.

At the end, people want to be paid for their work. If you were selling rice, would you sell a 50kg bag at N1000 so that you can help the poor? No you won't.

Are you saying importing and exporting is not a job?
So only farming creates employment!
Trade and investment is for what exactly?
Job elimination?
How many people has farming employed compared to trade?
The value chain created by importing is nothing compared to farming.

The same farming that bandits and herdsmen won't allow to thrive?

DeLaRue:


So, you know any country in the world where a bag of rice is currently N8k.

Please mention.

I don't know
Just allow Thailand rice to compete with local farmers rice in the market first and see wonders.

IconicR:
When there's competition among marketers the price will definitely go down

Forget that thing.
They are united
They have a union where our fate are decided. No competition in unionism

DeLaRue:


It is not as simple as that.

Before Nigeria started producing rice in large scale a few years ago, we were spending over $2 billion dollars a year importing rice.

If the last administration had not banned import and encouraged local production, we would probably be spending $3 - $3.5 billion now. And the amount would have continued to increase every year.

Now, we are able to produce a lot of rice, with tens of thousands of farmers gainfully employed and hundreds of billions invested by large corporations too.

Besides the above benefits, producing our own rice means we are less dependent on other countries and it improves our food security.

Now. do you prefer that we throw all these away, send $3.5 billion to Thailand to keep their own farmers employed (while ours lose their jobs) and also strengthen their economy while destroying our currency just so we can buy a bag of rice for may be N30, 000? If we go by experience, once the importers destroy local production with initial cheaper price, they will soon increase their price to the same N40k or more. What will you do then.

And every month the whole country will be monitoring the news to check whether the ship from Thailand is on its way to Apapa, or the country goes hungry.

Do you really prefer that?

Governing a country is far more complex than some of the simple solutions that we are so sure will work.

Let the local farmers export their rice to Thailand to earn forex in billions of dollars. That will keep them employed and richer. Allow poor Nigerians to breath by importing 8k bag of rice from Thailand. It is better to wait for 8k rice at Apapa than to buy 40k rice from Nigerian farmers

joseph032:
APC will do same. So you know, LP won in Rivers and Benue State, and so many reduction Vote in LP(Which is visible to the Blind because they have no party Structure/Governor to rig any State).

If Only Inec is neural and does the Right Things. And if Truly APC won 2/3 of the State and lost FCT (leaving other Court Case Issues)
Then there Should be a rerun between APC and (LP or PDP) according to the Constitution.

So you know INCE always account for a rerun in their budget

What is the purpose of this constitutional provisions?
Is it not for national spread?
29/37 and 16/37, which one carried a better spread of votes?
So if a candidate got 25% in 36 states without FCT yet got the highest number of total votes, he should be subjected to a rerun with a candidate with 25% in FCT alone?
What exactly is FCT then?
A federating unit not big enough to have a governor but a Minister

joseph032:
That's Why there is provision for a rerun.
At that point the Highest Wins.

But INEC was wrong and just too quick to make the Call at midnight.
May God Help Nigeria

Rerun!
If obi had 29/37 without FCT and tinubu got 16/37 with FCT, will you be here to advocate a rerun?

OredoPikin:

Like i said
You logic or common sense is not needed here
U must follow what is written

Obi did not wrote the constitution and he can't twist it to suit his abysmal score of 16/37 to upturn another candidate with 29/37.
Nigeria is not FCT but FCT IS A FEDERATING UNIT IN NIGERIA

joseph032:
The president is the Governor of FCT(like State) and Control all it Affairs.

That's Why the 1977 Constitution was Ammended, that Statement "And FCT" wasn't there.

Not like the People there are Special But at least,
Let thier Governor( The President) Get 25% That's the Only way the Law is fair on Them

so the man who got 25% in FCT without the required 25% in 24.67units (16/37) should be president instead of the man with 29/37?

OredoPikin:


Who won 29states?
Let me assumed u wanted to say he who got 25% in 29states
The law is the law
There is no logic to the interpretation.

If u like have all As in all subjects and fail English and maths, u will never be admitted by any Nigeria university
If u also like, have A+ in English and maths and F9 in the remaining subjects, u will never get admission to any school
You must have credit in English and maths, and 3 other subjects
Ur emotion or logic is not needed
It is what it is

Tinubu won 25% in 29 federating units out of 37 units otherwise known as 36 states and FCT

Newton2024:
You must have 25% in 2/3 of the states and FCT
Again, you must have 25% in 24states and the FCT before you can be declared a president

If you are a student of mathematics, english or philosophy, you would have understand this. The AND there is a disjunction. The two substatements are independent events.

Therefore, he who won 29 state should stepdown for he who won 15 states and the FCT?

seunmsg:


OP like the rest of the headless mob is nothing but a poorly educated illiterate. He’s like every other delusional Obidient who can read but can’t comprehend. Tinubu stated clearly and correctly that he scored 25% and above in 29 out of the 36 states and FCT of the federation.

If it was written exactly like the bolded, then you are free to call anyone against it an illierate.
Check what was written once again and compare with what you wrote then come back to judge correctly

Of what use exactly is this stress?
We all know the super eagles will not qualify or may qualify by calculator on the last day only to lose out at the group stage at the world cup.

Thank God for Nigeria
No electricity!
The few jobs we have here are somehow safe except for banks who can afford electricity by generator to power ATM machines

A waste of Time.i must say

Because Tinubu did not win Lagos and fct couple with the fact that rain fell at the close of hearing from atiku's lawyers , hence the atiku camp is expecting victory through the court.?

The real idiot is you who believe the government and science can't mislead you.

The idiot is you who couldn't provide a single proof as to why lab grown chickens are good for humans in a lifelong cycle, after 150+ posts under this topic.

You could be a scientist, throw Africans under the bus because they question the benefits and relevance of some concorted Frankenstein tissue, when nature is constantly providing the real deal, but one thing is clear: YOU AREN'T AS SMART AS YOU THINK

At best, you're MEH in thinking, exposure, and orientation.

Have a good day, Chief; until we meet again on one of your basic IQ posts.

Go and conduct a scientific research in the laboratory with all your literature review you've gotten from Google and analyse your data at 0.01 level of probability then come back to argue with a scientist.

That will be fair enough
Else, your idiotic posts remain idiotic.

Hopium:


They play! Scientist isonu.

FDA Approved in the mud. Aspartame has been used in many product for more than 10 years. Approved by the US government, but today WHO is raising alarm about being a carcinogen.

People, do all you can to educate yourself so that idiots like this guy won't misled you. There are a lot going on in the world that the ordinary mind can't comprehend. Sensitize yourself about healthy living or perish. I won't say more than that.

Fortunately, WHO is also relying on reports from scientists against scientists.
Scientist stills remains your manipulator.
We get paid for what we do while we leave you to invest your time and money arguing for/against our efforts.

I hope it is clearer now who the real idiot it

femicyrus, hello sir! I just say make I hail you.

Olodo oshi. Going to a week now, we never see him brake light Dude said he's a scientist

Your rant won't change my status as a scientist because I earned it. Not honorary nor your Google version.
You said I am free to consume the meat so what has changed?
You are also free to continue in your primitive knowledge while hiding under google to form wake
