Whats the meaning of the recent shalaye from the Bucha of Southern Kaduna?

Why is El rufai so desperate for media visibility these days.

Shettima Kashim should watch it if at all he is interested in Taking over from Tinubu

He is positioning himself to succeed Tinubu.

I decided to buy myself this gift for christmass and its means so much to me.

Good. Buying is not the main issue, studying is the koko.

InyinyaAgbaOku:


When do your own people travel back from other states ?
I have met Yorubas everywhere including the East

Let's tell ourselves the truth. The Igbos are the most travelled out of their states

Pauldollars:
Anambra State.... Shutdown

Imo State......Shutdown

Enugu State...... Shutdown

Abia State.....Shutdown

Ebonyi State....Shutdown

Rivers State..... Shutdown

Akwa ibom State.....Shutdown

Delta State.....shutdown

Cross River....Shutdown


While all other States across Nigeria experience reduced economic activities and vehicular movements during the Christmas periods.
Congratulations to the Igbos. They are the real backbone of Nigeria's economy.

Simply because they are the ones that travel out of their region the most. So, December is the period they travel back.

My wife and I are expecting our first child, so currently I'm saving up money before the baby comes, we are also trying to get baby things of almost 400k.

But she wants me to buy Christmas rice for her mom. I've already decided that I'm not buying anything for anyone this December, including my own mom. But she wants me to buy for her mom which I refused becauze my baby is more important.
Mind you, she has elder ones who can't even get anything for their mom this December (she's the youngest). I just lied to her that I'm broke and I don't have any money. But I have close to 1.7 million which I want I to save for the baby and also get a car for when the baby comes.

I'm I making the right decision by ignoring everyone this December or should I take like 100k and just buy a bag of rice and share to the mom.

Personally I don't want to spend a dime on anyone because my child is the most important thing right now

I understand your point but sparing 100k+ for your parents this period won't hurt since it's a one -off.

I knew it. It must be a black person.

LeoDeKing:
Gimmicks.

Chike Akunyili was shot dead at Umuoji, Idemili North LGA of Anambra state. 99.9% of the residents were igbos. Why did igbos not save him?

Stop this already. Had it not been the presence of those men. He would be killed that night. Festac Police have killed a lot and went away with it.

Josephamstrong1:
I don’t really understand some schools this days. My baby girl cleared all her subjects with distinction, all As and she was given 3rd position. She has been sobbing uncontrollably since yesterday. Yes, she was promised Christmas gifts and present if she takes first position in class this term.
I think she deserves the 1st position. I want to go to the school on Monday and appeal for result recheck. It can’t be!
I am not taking this o! My baby deserves 1st position with this result.

You really need to calm down. You're like the proverbial child who said his father's farm is the largest because he has not seen others. Yes, your child is brilliant but others might be more brilliant. I'm talking as a teacher with years of experience. You should be more concerned about the grade(which is distinction) than the position. I once had a girl that had 95% overall but finished 5th because I had 1 who finished 98% and three finished 96%. All you need to do is to keep encouraging your child. Don't ever make it seem like she was cheated. She will be badly affected. That's my little advise.

The caption should be like this.. Nigerians asks the CBN governor to stabilize the naira and stop the blame game.....

I hate nonsense

Everything is tribe to them.

Bliss62:



Cheating by lecturers earning multiple salaries from multiple university , earning as visiting lecturer, earn from private schools, earn for supervising Masters Students


Atleast they can stop their useless ASUU strike


.

They are thieves. Tinubu is doing everything to avoid strikes by ASUU.

Who else notices the palpable silence in the north?

HeadNigga:
Hmmm...this is what gets oba of Benin angry. If he speaks now one Lagos oba will retaliate. CAF, osimhen is an Edo boy... typing that thing in Yoruba suggests he is yoruba but he is not.

Type am for pidgin instead...

Osimhen speaks Yoruba than Edo.

I got promoted, got married, got a son and bought my first SUV. To God be the glory.

Mbanda:
The the reason for the coup is not to execute good men. Michael Okpara was a very good and hard-working man. Eastern region economy rose tremendously under Michael Okpala to the extent that our economy was among the fastest in the world then. besides, he's not among the bad eggs.

Only non-igbos were bad people? Stinking hypocrisy. What was the crime of Akintola? If Awolowo was not in the prison. He would have been killed too.

Chygoz01:
Check out what col nwobosi said about January 15 coup before he died he was one of the coup plotters for many years many Nigerians have been feed with propaganda to hate the igbos but this man said the truth few months before he died check the video below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAWzo7tRRZo?si=As_cUcnZ-T9lridK

Dey play. Say that to yourself. Why did Zik travel on the eve of the attack? Why was no Easterner attacked or killed? Why was it only Yoruba and northerners were killed? The coup plotters were predominantly of Igbo extraction.

JASONjnr:
This used to be a relieving kinda news until Ajuri told us that it wouldn't stop Dangote from selling petrol at expensive prices.


What's the need for having a refinery if it's refined goods will be more expensive than imported refined goods?

Why are we pumping billions to repair failed refineries when it's selling price wouldn't be any different from imported goods?

It would in the long run lead to appreciation of Naira against the dollar. The pressure on the dollar will be reduced or channelled towards importation of machinery for production.

Weretuntun:
can someone from minority tribe became nigeria president.
i wish to know what will take someone like ebira,igala,ikwere,uteshiri,uhobo etc, to became a nigeria president,
i know is a long journey, i wanted to know what it will cost me..

Yes, if the person is a vice president and succeeds an incumbent or if strongly supported by an incumbent president. If Tinubu supports an igala man to succeed him. He would win.

FreeStuffsNG:
This is highly commendable. Well done to every patriotic hardworking Nigerian and lover of Nigeria who made this surplus possible.


Nigeria’s most imported products were ‘Motor Spirit Ordinary’ (N1.92 trillion or 22.71% of total imports), ‘Gas oil’ (N736.66 billion or 8.71%), and ‘Durum wheat (not in seeds) with a value of N331.76 billion or 3.92% of total import.

Petrol is still the big elephant in our room depleting our forex and raising our aggregate import bill.

As Dangote Refinery rolls out this December, import of petrol will significantly drop and the dry season farming output for wheat will complement the impact of reduction in petrol import to further shoot up our trade surplus.

Exactly. The government has made huge investment in the cultivation of wheat, dangote refinery to come on board and PH refinery to begin operation first quarter next year. As an Economist, I can see positive economic recovery in no distant time. Naira appreciation to come too.

Ttipsy:
Do you work there ?

My friend works there. They work day and night just to finish on time.

Ttipsy:
We need govt refinery

PH refinery is nearing completion and two others will be ready by end of 2024.

I'm posting this as a response to the topic that made Nairaland front page yesterday; "See What Someone Bought With An Hour Minimum Wage In The UK £10", the link: https://www.nairaland.com/7929193/see-what-someone-bought-hour/8#127286855

UK & US ARE OVER-RATED NIGERIA IS STILL BETTER in terms of cost of living see a practical example why doing a price comparison: 1 pound to 1 naira today is N1,001 so are you saying with £10 x N1,001 = N10,001 you cannot buy everything in that basket and collect change in Nigeria today?

1 Sliced Bread = N800
2 Spaghetti = N1400
1 Gesha = N600
1 live chicken = N3,000
1 75cl soya Oil = N1,400
1 Midium size Butter = N600
2 Gino Tomato paste = N1,000

Total = N8,800 so your change is N1,200 that's if you exchange pound to naira at offical rate and buying at the most expensive stores or high brands. If you exchange at black market rate and buy at public market "days" you will collect as much as N6,000 after buying everything in that basket....that's about £6 left.

LET'S JUST THANK GOD FOR WHAT WE HAVE AND STOP LOOKING AT AND GLORIFYING ANOTHER MAN'S LAND MORE THAN OUR OWN....OUR OWN NA OUR OWN O

We all agree but the income is the main thing.

Bobloco:
Umahi should rather tell Tinubu to work assiduously to earn the support of the south east

There is nothing he would do to earn the support. If were him. I would keep a straight face.

Is04970:
Yoruba is one of the oldest empire in Africa.
Yoruba influence can be found all over West Africa.
They found Benin

Benin, Togo, Gambia, Ghana, Sierra Leone.

Igbos ate seeing this with no comments against it. When the Nigeria army begins dances in the east now the. They will be shouting.

Validated:
Who approved the building plan?
How much was paid to LASG for the approval?
Why is Tinubu's Bourdillon house, which clearly contravened the original Ikoyi masterplan not yet marked for demolition?

Nobody approved it. None of the buildings have approved plan bit certificate of occupancy

Aren't nonsense!

🇳🇬MOST INDEBTED STATES - JUN 2023

Delta, ogun and Edo have nothing to show for it.

"If people know the realities of these conditions they will not sell all their properties to travel abroad into the unknown"


Millions have made that mistake and more millions are on the verge of making same mistake!

I always tell any one having the plans that, NEVER SELL YOUR ASSETS FOR JAPA

It even makes you relaxed knowing you have a fall back plan in an eventuality.

Imagine people selling their lands and homes to go change diapers in the West! It's absurd!

It depends. Someone sold his prized land and cars and replaced it with better ones within 6 months of relocating to Canada. You need to study what you're going to do there well before leaving. The guy went into oil rigging in Canada.

nedu666:



You are right. Ogun has plenty of industries but they are not owned by indigenous people but Chinese, Indians and Lebanese. Example is ota industrial estate, you see Chinese and Indian factories everywhere, even Chinese and Indians drive okada up and down the estate. Even in lagos, most thriving factories in ikeja, apapa is still owned by Indians and lebanese

You're right.

[quote author=IamAtikulate post=127187384]

Ogun is not the most industrialized.

If it's, how come it is not reflected in the common masses. Again, Onitsha Main Market alone has more multi-millionaires than all those industries in Ogun.

How many millionaires can you find in Dangote, Lafarge, and all those foreign companies in Ogun.

Do you even understand what capital flight is?

If Dangote makes #1 billion in Ogun as profit, he will pay 350 million as taxes. Let assume another 350 million goes into personnel and recurrent cost, he will be left with 300 million which he will repatriate to Kano or outside Ogun.

Ogun will receive only a tiny of this tax. The only thing that goes into the Ogun economy is the workers' salary since most of them will spend the money in the state.

So, nothing substantial goes to Ogun from all the heavily industrial activities in the state.

Now, if Stanel Group makes 1 billion, they actually reported that.

If they 350 million as taxes and 300 million as recurrent expenses, 300 million will remain in Anambra.

So, Anambra gets more from ongoing industrial activities than Ogun.

No country develops by relying heavily on 70% FDI. No state develops by relying on 100% DDI.

SW claims to have the highest IGR, yet it's not reflected in their villages because the owners of the money took them away after each fiscal year. I will excuse your ignorance. Who told you it does not reflect in the lives of the people? Is it the chest-beating you all do all the drugs Anambra people are notorious for?
