Babablu bulabu.

3,500 naira could get you more than 23 liters of petrol in 2015.

Today 3,500 naira can only get you 3.6 litters.
you don’t know that you are talking about. It was 850 naira 2015.


We are taking about full tank for most cars.

Russia only gives weapons and thing else.

There is no benefit with any kind of alliance with Russia. Check all the countries with strong alliance. It’s just weapons and no development or any economic gain or activities.

Ikaeniyan0:
I don't believe in IPOB propaganda, I only deal with facts. The 6 Igbanke monarchs remain suspended. They can relocate to Aba or orlu. Igbanke is Benin land.
what proof do you have to claim the land is a benin land?

Also you are calling them slaves ? That indutrination that they are part of benin has not brought any benefits to that land. No development and previous beni government haven’t done anything there. Orhiomwen is a shadow of it self. If the proposed state is actualize it will brought development and prosperity to that land so what is the problem all about?
Car Talk › Re: Should I Sell My 2012 Corolla For A 2008 Camry? "Details Inside" by fineboynl(m):
You just waste your money buying catalyst.

Nigerian mechanic don't know anything.

Cars without a catalyst runs better and faster with little acceleration. because the engine can breathe properly. catalyst only help with emissions and a bit of quiet sound. Even if it help with fuel you might save 1 litre from every 20 litre so it doesn't worth it. Engine without a catalyst will last better than one with catalyst.


Also you might be confusing km with miles. If your car is America spec then it's in miles not km.

Never open your engine to service nossle. Instead buy and add injector cleaner to your fuel or Tina. I learnt a bitter lesson. If you are opening your engine because of nossle then just knows your are changing them. Because Tina will do the same work when add to your fuel.

Sometimes your coil might be faulty and it will work when they test it, but when it's under load and performance it will not be so efficient and the same thing with plugs.

That's why when changing coils change all. When changing nossle change all. When changing plug change all.

If your car still consumed fuel. Your engine done weak. Likely cylinder loses a bit of compression and it's ok for it age. Also 20w50 which most Toyota people uses because of oil burns consumed fuel a lot.


Be informed that majority of Nigeria sell their cars because of problems.
Business › Sometimes Gtbank Account Statements Doesn't Align With Balance by fineboynl(op):
For many times nowI have been noticing this act from gtbank.

The account balance will not be accurate with account statements. I did contact them sometimes when I noticed it but other times I don't take notice of it. Even when I do it mostly from last credit and the debits that follows it. Because the statement is huge I can't really go through them all.

If you are the type that uses gtbank for daily transactions like my myself it will be difficult for you to notice it. Because you won't have chance to be checking the balance and statement all the time.

But anytime you have the time to check it you will likely observe it more often.


Today for example I got a credit alart for 300k and check the SMS it was 308k new balance. I never even bother about the balance but what really got to my attention is to confirm if the transaction was real because of the increased fake alert from people of recent. I only just checked the last SMS I received before this one. I want to confirm if it's legitimate transfer and I can only do that with new balance from the credit alert. The last transfer new balance said 14k plus. But this one didn't align 308k.

A wise guest should know when to leave otherwise they lost value and respect.

Knowing when to leave the stage, metaphorically or literally, involves recognizing when a situation, role, or even a performance is no longer serving its purpose or is no longer enjoyable. It's about having the foresight to exit when overstaying one's welcome can be detrimental to oneself or others. This can apply to ending a performance, leaving a conversation, relationship or even transitioning to a new job.

..how tinubu partner with world bank to destroy Nigeria economy. The world bank was created to protect the imperialist interests.

China didn’t get to where they are today begging world bank. A loan collector is a slave to the borrower

Prov 22:7: “The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is slave of the lender.”

Oil price is not going up anytime soon. So Nigerians need to prepare for strong challenges ahead of time.

Rich people don’t pay tax in Nigeria. Even so they mostly politicians or affiliates. It’s the same issue that cause the French revolution.

The the elites and nobles dine together. The make the laws spend and waste the resources.

The masses and natural resources pay all the bills for them.

Most Nigerians elites from 70s and above don’t know anything about modern economy which the government is part of. The people doesn’t have faith in their policies

Countries that are doing fine don't listen to IMF.

IMF was created to put other economy in shambles while their economy prosper at the disadvantage to others.

The imperialist have live out there days and time. China have taking over as richest country because they do things their own way.

The chenise middle class is higher than the entire population of America.. Africa need the Chinese blueprint.

Opay only call those who have done huge transactions. Also if you once purchase airtime ok 100k single recharge. you will be targeted for purchase more on that category for huge bonus e.t.c.

Something like that.
Phones › Spam Calls From Opay Is Becoming Irritating. by fineboynl(op):
Why does opay getting themselves involved in spams phone calls. The whole ideal is becoming annoying and irritating.

Opay needs to stop calling customer randomly with ads. If they need to do anything like ads they can simply does that on the app ads not calling people randomly at business hours.

The NCC and CBN needs to stop that ASAP.

Truecaller and most phones have already flag all opay calling numbers as spams.

Apple is just a software company and source all hardware components from different phone manufacturers. Reason they lack innovation and creativity. Apple love for too much profits 50/50. 50% profits from each device will not allow them to produce it from us.

Us made iPhone is not possible.

If the Chinese build a solid operating system and Europe accept it. Then it's finished for iPhone.

Just that the Chinese government like to control and spy their company data reasons why the world trust America.

Politics › Re: Oil Nations Scramble To Avert Economic Crisis After Prices Crash by fineboynl(m):
malali:
Tinubu’s grandstanding infrastructure obsession has all the markings of another debt-fueled disaster in the making. With oil crashing into the low $60s per barrel ( far below Nigeria’s budget breakeven) the only logical question is: who funds his dreams? His answer appears dangerously obvious ,more loans, higher interests, and a financial dependence on creditors who will eventually dictate Nigeria’s policies.

What Tinubu is building are not assets that generate future revenue or foreign exchange, they are legacy projects for ribbon-cutting ceremonies. Railways that cannot pay for themselves, roads without tolling strategy, power projects without market reforms. This is not visionary economics , it’s political optics borrowed at premium rates.


Nigeria is staring down a future of ballooning debt servicing costs, currency devaluation pressures, and even more taxes squeezed from an already battered population. Without structural reforms, productivity expansion, or genuine export capacity,

Tinubu’s current path feels like a fast-track to fiscal captivity.
thank you my brother.

I’m not against building infrastructure. But that shouldn't be done with borrowed funds when you have to repay with interest.

The south east needs 200 trillions or dollars equivalent loan to revolutionize production and self reliace on some key manufacturing items. That how the Chinese and south Korea developed. Not borrowing money to waste on things that cannot generate wealth and repayment. Look at the world bank for example they will not grant any loans that will make Nigeria a manufacturing hub not even the Chinese as all of them are protecting their interest. But we have to do it anyway possible.

We need manufacturing state or estate closer to the sea. Free or cheap energy to kick start production. Access to good road and all other basic needs to start manufacturing automobile parts and electronics components even heavy equipment. In the next decade we should be reliance on some key items to challenge china dominance in africa and beyond.


But here we are still talking about herdsmen and farmers crisis today.

Look at the loans world bank and imf is giving Nigeria for example. Bole hole and money to be shared to vulnerable people. Senseless and rubbish loan to funds unproductive ventures and eventually the funds stolen back to their economy as they encourage corruption. then later on they will advice the government to remove subsidy. Is just like the rat that’s blowing your leg is biting you

World bank or the Chinese will never approve any loan that will make Africa self reliance and manufacturing hub. Unfortunately we have clueless leaders who only think about winning or rigging next election.

Higher price in energy means manufacturing is dead. And cannot even be competitive with international market. The Chinese are very smart and strategic with area where subsidy is needed. The western style we are coping today we have seen what happens to their manufacturing company in last decade. The US for example is now a dumping ground for Chinese products because of high energy and labor cost.

The same style of government tinubu is introducing Nigeria into. Inflation, increasing workers wage, high energy bill and higher cost of general production.

You cant tax unproductive and poor people to prosperity. You can only tax a productive economy to higher greatness.


We have to follow the Chinese blueprint. Because the western style economy capitalism is already failing

Foreign Affairs › Re: China Raises Duties On US Goods To 125%, Calls Trump Tariff Hikes A 'joke' by fineboynl(op): 6:37am On Apr 12, 2025
America doesn't have what Chinese needs that much. It was the reason the trade wasn't balance in the first place.

But if it's in the part if the Chinese government to block out the US imports than trump might be right.

Most countries trades with China is not balance either not just the US. The reason is that china produces more than they need and even cheaper than to import.

Nigeria trade with Chinese is not balance and the reason why the naira and yan exchange deal never worked.

Foreign Affairs › Re: China Raises Duties On US Goods To 125%, Calls Trump Tariff Hikes A 'joke' by fineboynl(op): 12:09pm On Apr 11, 2025
Beijing indicated on Friday that this would be the last time it matched the U.S., in the event that Trump takes his tariffs any higher.
"Even if the U.S. continues to impose even higher tariffs, it would no longer have any economic significance and would go down as a joke in the history of world economics," the Finance Ministry's statement added.
"If the U.S. continues to play a numbers game with tariffs, China will not respond," it added. However it left the door open for Beijing to turn to other types of retaliation, reiterating that China would fight the U.S. to the end.

On Thursday, Beijing said it would immediately restrict imports of Hollywood films in response to Trump's tariff increases. Earlier this week, China focused its sights on U.S. services exports, issuing a travel advisory for citizens visiting the U.S. and an alert for students considering studying in the U.S. state of Ohio.
UBS analysts said in a note that China's declaration that it would not retaliate in kind against any further tariff increases was "an acknowledgement that trade between the two countries has essentially been completely severed".

SEEKING TO BUILD ALLIANCES

Beijing is seeking to rally trading partners to its cause.
In his first public comments on the tariffs, President Xi Jinping told Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez during a meeting in Beijing that China and the European Union should "fulfill their international responsibilities... and jointly oppose unilateral acts of bullying", China's state news agency Xinhua reported.
Xi begins a three-nation tour of Southeast Asia next week, aiming to consolidate ties with some of China's closest neighbours as trade tension escalates with the United States.
Eric Orlander, co-founder of the China-Global South Project, said improved market access in areas like agriculture would likely be on the table when Xi meets his Vietnamese, Malaysian and Cambodian counterparts rather than "big free trade deals".
"China's best offer to Vietnam is stability. Don't underestimate how important that is at a time like this," Orlander added.
Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao has sought to get ahead of U.S. negotiators, holding video calls this week with his counterparts from the EU and Malaysia, which is chairing ASEAN this year, as well as Saudi Arabia and South Africa, by way of reaching out to Gulf countries and the Group of 20 and BRICS nations.
Beijing and Brussels agreed on Thursday to restart talks on trade relief and to immediately carry out negotiations on electric vehicle price commitments, according to a readout of his meeting with European Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security Maros Sefcovic, meaning a truce to a longstanding spat could be forthcoming.
A rapprochement with Europe would take China's trade war with the West back to a single front -- the U.S.
"China remains open to negotiations with the U.S., but threatening and pressuring are not the right way to engage with China," the country's Commerce Ministry said in a separate statement.
