The most expensive food item in Birnin Kebbi is Yam. I bought a single Yam for ₦2,000. Is this a fair price?

Yam is expensive everywhere in the world. Very soon, we go stop to the chop yam and just start eating wild cocoyam

We all can't be stupid. Let's use our heads even if NDLEA and Nigerian banks are stupid.

Drugs worth 134 billion naira? This money no matter how it gets laundered, has to be banked. All banks have KYC(Know Your Customer). Parasites being what they are, Nigerian banks only give you a KYC form to fill. Has it ever occurred to these brain dead lot that the billions they see entering a particular account, they can actually go out and visit the business claiming to generate such money? They don't do that.

The rise of drug use in Nigeria is one of the things putting pressure on the naira. These monies get changed to dollars and sent abroad. Nigeria has become a major transit hub for drugs. These drug guys will buy dollars at any rate just to keep business moving.

Until the NDLEA starts pushing banks to be accountable for unproven money flow into accounts, the drug business will keep flourishing.

It is impossible for drug business to work without banks facilitating it.

It will be laundered through a chain of several legit businesses; some kept as hard currency and others as cryptocurrencies.

Tinubu is a pure evil minded person with senseless economic policies.
The people of Nigeria are dying of hunger, starvation and insecurity.
If a retired General can be kidnapped this way what do you think will happen to you who supports incompetent inept Tinubu

Sounds like you are blaming Tinubu for the wicked things done by citizens including:
1. armed robbery, kidnapping
2. 419
3. Illegal drug trade
4. Fake drugs and drinks

You forget that people have a choice to not do the above.

@OP

Please see a doctor. Dont diagnose yourself and seek treatment online.

I don't see the sense in offering student loans to students in a country where the vast majority of graduates are without jobs. It just does not make sense of any kind.

What alternative would you propose ? Not sure its sustainable for government to provide free tuition

It's concerning how people will witness something genuinely barbaric and still support it for whatever reason

Sorry about your hearing. You said you were giving 2 drugs but you have posted only one.

This medication should not affect your hearing. Do you have the picture of the other drug u were given for flu?

As usual, things in Nigeria never make sense. The same banks dont have cash for customers but somehow POS operators can provide cash.

Let us learn to be empathetic.

Such letters should not be leaked. Whoever leaked the letter should go to prison.

Lifts generally have fail safe mechanisms in place to prevent such accidents. This needs to be thoroughly investigated.

Really sad that following the accident occurring inside the hospital, the health system is not developed enough to have saved her life.

They should invest the money in education or healthcare rather than as palliatives if they dont know what to use it for

okosodo:
So DSS is the automatic attack dog of any APC president. To think that DSS is the American equivalent of the CIA. Them really destroy this country

The Nigerian equivalent of the CIA is the NIA and not DSS.

psucc:
When you taste any coca-cola drink from neighbouring countries, you will know we're being killed here in Nigeria.

Here, water + anything goes.

Aspartame is used worldwide and not just in Nigeria.

Issuing road worthiness for cars when the roads are not even worthy of being roads.

gbaskiboy:
If this is not rejected now on the long run it would be financial burden to us and government will cash out big time without using the money for anything. Charging 1k maybe small but on the long run the amount would be increase. Road worthiness they charge N4,5 is now 15k, if money generated at the end would be utilized optimally none will complain but at the end it would be devoured without showing Mercy..

Wish him speedy recovery but would be nice for African leaders to develop their healthcare so nobody needs to go abroad. What of the poor man that doesnt have money to travel abroad?

Sounds very unlikely a medical student would be allowed to do a C-section especially in a government hospital. Maybe they meant a resident doctor - but again this should have been done under supervision of a consultant.

Sadly, someone has lost her life as a result of poor care provided.

So the government is spending USD1billion essentially to build a rail road to a country that the total value of exports to was USD138million in 2020 (of which electricity export accounted for 36% of this figure)?

If the rail road cannot pay for itself (repay the loan), whats the point of such construction?

The lack of critical thought that goes into decision making is the reason our leaders continue to impoverish the African continent.

Please pay a doctor/dermatologist for professional advice.

CPR. CPR. CPR, Nigerians. If somebody knew it he would still walk in the land of the living.

Its like you dont know how Nigerian Police is. They will arrest the person/people doing CPR and charge them to court. It will take grace of God before they release you.

The police are not well trained to handle rifles; we should replace them with non-lethal tasers.

We also need to deploy technology and get policemen off the streets. ANPR cameras plus CCTV can easily track stolen cars; ensure cars on the road have valid registration and insurance.
These things are not rocket science.

Only in Nigeria, bad shit happens and steps are not taken to ensure it doesnt happen again

But why do people need large volumes of cash? The idea behind is to encourage people to transact without cash as well as make all large volume transactions traceable.

These people are not fighting for poor people who dont even have that kind of money to be withdrawing everyday. This policy will make it difficult to throw cash around during elections and CBN should stand their ground.

Legislators should look into other areas to truly make the life if poor people easier.

The naira redesign is a welcomed development. The only thing that needs to happen is to ban third party physical cash deposits (ie. you can only deposit cash into your own account).

In addition, ban physical cash withdrawal beyond a certain amount to ensure all large volume purchases can be traced electronically.

What's the essence of inviting the vice president to commission a renovated building?

Because commissioning is a big thing in Nigeria and everything must be commissioned..transformers, buildings, etc.

Tax is a major way governments in developed countries fund the economy. I don't understand why a government minister is deciding to fight this. Does he prefer the government begging China or some foreign government for loan?

The UK generated £584.5billion in 2020/21 from taxes alone.

My message is simple.

If you are crying because of hunger
If you are crying because of unemployment
If you are crying because of insecurity
If you are crying because of inflation
If you are tired of poor state of healthcare in Nigeria
If you are tired of voting politicians that are are completely clueless about how economies work…
If you are tired because nothing works in Nigeria, then do the following:

1. Wake up
2. Get a PVC
3. Don't vote with sentiment
4. Don’t vote because he/she is your tribes man
5. Don’t be lazy and don’t vote based on stories/rhetorics of what praise-singers are saying about any candidate
6. Do your own research as a responsible adult
7. Vote because you want good schools
8. Vote because you want hospitals that will work
9. Vote because you want 24/7 electricity
10. Vote because you want pipe borne water that is drinkable
11. Vote because you want to sleep with 2 eyes closed
12. Vote because you want to enter bus and have rest of mind you will reach your destination and not be kidnapped
14. Vote because you want roads that your car can be driven on
15. Vote because you are tired of living in a country that people call shit hole

Finally, when politicians say I will make Nigeria great again. Ask them one simple question ‘how’?

If you don’t vote with sense, then collect NGN5000, bag of garri and shut up.

Stop complaining and enjoy the country because you and the politician you are complaining about are the same.

Advise to @OP: Go to a hospital and see licensed healthcare professional. If the situation gets worse after following online advice, u only have yourself to blame.

This is a really sad development. Even poor people are no longer safe at the hands of kidnappers.

Karma will deal with every one of them if they actually collect this ransom after inflicting such pains on this man.

So many doctors on this thread with different advice. Which will @OP now follow?

Whats the point of all the drama? She cheated…move on and find a better person.

Moral lesson: Loyal people are hard to find…girlfriend or not.
