These attacks we all are playing with might consume us beyond measure in the near future.

Why did they have to announce it though?

If Tinubu does not relieve Matawalle following the interview he granted and senseless deaths like this, then the government is very complicit in these killings.

This is the height of being useless. He isn't worth his position and if the president is serious, the guy should be relieved of his position immediately.

Many comments here suggest we are poor at heart and it will likely take us much longer to develop as a nation. Someone thinks he's rich, wasted financial resources, disrespected family and friends, and many feels he did well. It is a big pity.

bosstim:
Bia keep quiet. 6 million when people dey spend for club in one sitting. I guess you missed the point where he said he's rich

Even at that, being rich doesn't suggest stupidity. A rich man wouldn't waste resources on revenge. Just cancel it and save your money.

Horrible Nigerian security forces will harass private citizens who wear Camouflage not even related to any of its security forces but wouldn't track down these bandits they can see have their exact uniforms.

lawani:
We have always had a low revenue to GDP challenge in Nigeria which is no longer serious now courtesy the current government but it is still there. Make comments only on things you have studied or that you have enough understanding of. There is no need for a first to comment competition or who makes the most comments competition and etc on all threads that you must participate in

The governments over the years have collected loans to fund infrastructural developments, how many have they achieved? Learn to make the government responsible instead of shifting goal post each time tou are shown that your point isn't sufficient.

lawani:
Who is this one? What about in the USA where you must tip when you buy things? Did they force you? In the US if you don't tip them, they will feel offended.

Also, it is more honourable to beg than to go into crime but it is better for everyone to be well paid and not depend on tips. If you can afford to buy a new TV on a whim, what is the big deal in giving a small amount of money as a tip?

Where did you get such a conclusion from? Have you lived in the US or you are speaking from hear says?

lawani:
Revenue. Mention the ones with low government revenue or budget to GDP ratio that is a successful country. Tax sometimes can be an insignificant component of revenue

We don't have a low revenue challenge, our challenge is embezzlement and corruption. Most of the middle easy countries developed on oil revenue.

lawani:
.If something has never happened then it will never happen. No country with very low revenue to GDP has ever risen

Oga, many countries similar to Nigeria have grown with low tax revenue to GDP ratio. Countries rich in natural resources like ours grew with their resource revenues. Stop parading lies as truth.

lawani:
Lagos and Abuja or PH maybe expensive because of rent and if you really have high income you would be able to afford to go off grid so electricity costs would not be significant. We are not talking of a luxury lifestyle here but comfortable living. Flying in Nigeria today is a luxury and it is even more expensive here than in high income countries. The most senior civil servants are not paid ten million naira per annum after decades of service and you are saying thirty million naira is not enough for you in an average Nigerian city? Can a senior civil servant in any state be described as poor?

Why are you so conflicted? How many people outside of the cities you mentioned make that much? Why do you think flying is luxury in a country where government can't provide security yet you hail the government?

benardtotti:
I will try my very best to answer you not as a supporter of the apc but as a Nigerian who advocates proper governance .

First the decay didn't start with this government, it is over 50 years old , when nigeria found wealth with oil in the 70s Gowon made that famous statement that Nigeria's problem is not money but how to spend it , that was the beginning of the lack of accountability that entered governance in nigeria as politicians ajd even the military ended up spending money on white elephant projects, doing subsidy ,and dashing our fellow african countries money .

Meanwhile other countries like uae who also found wealth in oil around the same time sat down and mapped out a blueprint on how to use the oil wealth to develop their country .

You can blame tinubu all you want but the reason I admire his courage is that he didn't come in and do the same populist nonsense other leaders that got us into the mess in the first place , at least he tried to reform the system.

No politician in his first term will try what tinubu did .

Finally , after all said and done even if he looses and a new person comes in how sure are you that they won't continue with Tinubu’s policies ?
Will they revoke the tax act ?
Will they bring back subsidy and begin to pay dangote to supply fuel at 500 per litre ?

Where will they get funds to pay off all our debts ?etc

Forget partisan politics for an instance and go thru all I wrote logically and reply .

I find the bolded amusing. Removing the subsidy and wasting the money saved from it is the main crux of the OP's discuss. If the current government removed all those subsidies you mentioned and are borrowing at the rate they are, you should be more than concerned.

Privateworld:
We have don everything doable and she seem to be issue. She has pcos and its a chronic one according to the doctor

You are leaving your wife because she has pcos? Na wah oooo.

This is quite fearful. I will suggest you go on with the test first and let the dad know the outcome. Tell him to follow you to report the case if she was abused. If he refuses, go ahead by yourself.

Broda, you don turn broken record. At your age, you suppose fit rewrite your story instead of these unnecessary lamentations every time.

radautoworks:
I've never tried 🤔 I usually just put a grain like rice, couscous or pasta inside, or put garlic bread on the side🤷🏾

It's true ooooo... Where is GboyegaD.

Madam, I'm just around you living life a day at a time.

Caaz:
Gboskii for a reason....hope you re good bro?

Yes, I am. Just taking my time for now.

Caaz:
Rad no vex for my question...
Person fit use akpu/eba chop this your soup?


Hello GboyegaD alias gboskii so you ve finally left this thread?
I missed your food pictures sha.

I will soon.

This doesn't seem true however, if it is, he should please excuse himself from a terrible situation.

gaddafe:
I own a private school. You can be arrested for administering paracetamol. Infact when health officials come for inspection and they check your first aid box, they don't expect to see any form of medication in it. They will tell you that you are operating a school not a clinic. And that should you have an issue, you should call the parents before even taking the child to the hospital. I have challenged this severally but this is how the government wants it. It is their policy. Only a concrete law from the legislature can change this.

Don't you have a qualified registered nurse making the sick bay?

Mariangeles:
In the midst of the crisis, the teachers did everything but rush the boy to the hospital.

They even got someone to drive him home.🙄

I was talking to a group of teachers recently and you can tell they are not allowed to admit basic first aid. The discussion was due to us being called that my nephew who is a boarder had cold and we should come pick him from school. You know they gave us this consent form to sign that should our wards die in school, we wouldn't sue Lagos State Government.

A teacher also mentioned how she almost got sacked for administering paracetamol. The parent if the child claimed they only use herbs for their child and it became a big issue.

It is unfortunate what we have turned things to but what can we all do?

Naya261:
bro i understand and regretted that decision. The skill i wanted to learn as at then isn't available in my village so i had to move to a bit more developed area.

You owe no one apologies for your decisions. You committed no crime and that was a phase in your life.

Dpharmacist:
This is the new trend with Nigerian ladies, all about the money.

New girl i just met is giving me attitude because i no send her money, money you didn't give me to keep. She was even long voice note trying to guilt trip me. I was sick and she was even reluctant to wish me quick recovery.

Whatever point you are trying to make, you shouldn't give out her personal identification information as you just did.

From my understanding as a parent, seek early intervention once it seems something is not right.

Were there no Nigerian companies that could handle such contract?

MasterTeeUSA:
I do not get all these lamentations. In Berlin, you have to pay for trolley. If you dont have 1 Euro coin, you have no ways to get one and you are stuck. In US, for a 30 mins trip, plan to pay over $60 which is close to N80k. You waited for luggage...well I waited for luggages in Gatwick and at Dulles Airport...heaven did not fall.

Maybe you are not matured enough to travel with a child or travel at all. We do not sing all these Songs of Lamentations abroad. Even Flights get delayed like crazy...no one goes into a tirade. It is when we get to Nigeria that we act like everything is perfect abroad. Free buses from airport...in what country...maybe within the airport but even at Heathrow, there are no free buses from airport Lol.

Thank God some of us have traveled, else people like you will paint a fake picture.

How long was the wait for the luggage at Dulles? That said, since MM2 got burnt and the plane has to park far away from the point of entry, getting one's luggage is now very very difficult. It takes well over an hour which isn't fair.

Hope the Fire Service is able to put it out as soon as possible.

erad:
Is it not the same guidelines that has been abused?
I no just understand una baseless criticisms.

Fact still remains that's the university should be autonomous with little to no interruption.

Why does universities need approval before confering an honorary degree on anyone? The minister should provide guidelines and allow the universities be.

Shameless lots. Is this how democracy is practiced?

Eriokanmi:
I don't know how long it would take seun osewa to create a family thread with strict access .

Firstly, I'd say we're architect of our fortune or otherwise in life. We can all begin to getting it right by voting right leaders in governing positions. Take it or you leave it, the masses are always at the receiving end, irrespective of tribal affiliations.

I just dropped off my son at his school today and I knew how much I paid in school fees alone, not to talk of provisions, pocket money, mention it. I get pikin wey dey university too, a private one for that matter.

All I can say is, God's grace has been sufficient for me.

Don't wait until you have a 2-bed before you get married. Things will get better with time. Let your fiancé agree with you on this. Plan for your future. By the time you attain our level, stress or pressure won't be much. If you have the opportunity to japa, don't hesitate but japa with sense. Go to school and come back as I always advocate. It's the best decision ever taken by me.. Invest in meaningful endeavours. You may also stay there but don't dull yourself. If your friends are riding big cars, don't copy them. Its a liability. Enter train.If they're throwing parties abroad and buying asoebi, waka pass because if you attend one, when it gets to your turn, you must spend too.

Hear this, salary will never make you rich, regardless of where you're working or living on earth. The world is changing so don't rely on 9/5 job. Establish yourself. It's not easy to be self-employed but it pays in the long run

Good morning,
Returning to settle in Nigeria and wouldn't mind connecting with you.
