Heard that people from the SE were swarming Benue state owned hospitals to get free retroactive drugs and that the real high cases are not in Benue but the SE instead.

So there are no free retroactive drugs across hospitals in the southeast? Is that to be believed?

You people talk anyhow...yen yen yen, i hEaRd

Rutherinspace:
Nice take on the subject. The reason for the high cost of housing is not only because of cement. There are many factors but cement price is one of them.
Dangote is a dominant player in the industry. It controls over 60% of the market and influence prices and economic activities in that industry.
When you control over 60% of the market you have monopoly power which is bad for the Nigerian economy.
The government can encourage other investors in that industry. My initial post was for the government to create a level playing field for all investors. During Obj regime he was favoring Dangote to the detriment of other players. When you favour some investors and allow others to die, it destroys the economy. Nigeria can have one of the cheapest cement prices in the world through such reforms and not through importation.

Most of the valuable limestone deposits have been cornered by the major firms, and, as you stated, with one company controlling over half the market, outsider investors are at a disadvantage because it can and does reduce prices at will. The fastest solution, especially in the short term is to allow importation. It was done for food - an essential commodity. Housing, too, is an essential part of life. Farmers cried, but food is now cheaper than before. Let the same be enacted for cement.

My hope is with Huaxin (see below), but in the meantime, importation should be allowed so prices drop.

drnoel:
Hmm? I do apologise in return. I might have been a little brisk in my reply.
Then again, I still don't agree with the statement cos in my opinion it is not true. That doesn't mean that it doesn't happen but for me as regards this topic true statements are those that one can generalise to a wider population group.
That said, black sister in Europe might be lonely doesn't mean they don't have options.

They have options to have sex, which does not equate to getting married. Their chances are low. Women esp as they get older, tend to tie sex to commitment, aka marriage.

And yes, a Nigerian man that is holding his own, mobile and has a nice apartment in Europe would score way more than his expectations in Europe as well as in Nigeria.
Question always is this; what does it profit him?

Cultural expectations towards attraction are different. Being financially comfortable is a standard in Europe. What else does he have to offer? How does a comfortable Nigerian man compete in Switzerland?

Rutherinspace:
Again I'll be clear. The government should not allow importation of cement. Whoever encourages that has no idea of that industry.
FYI: Nigeria holds one of the largest reserves of limestone in Africa. Limestone is exported.

Yet housing is expensive, and there is a severe shortage. How does the problem get solved since one of the major components of construction is very expensive?

Also understand words based on context. Free market doesn't mean free trade. A country can operate a free market domestically while maintaining regulated international trade.

Not while housing is expensive. The govt allowed the importation of food, so prices reduced. The same govt allowed the importation of derivatives of cassava into the country, and there was a corresponding decrease in cassava prices within the country because the major buyers/off-takers (the pharmaceutical industry) bought imported products. The pharma industry lobbied for the importation.

Nigeria, which produces cement and has huge limestone deposits, is meaningless when cement prices are very high which result in high rents. Allow the importation of cement to ease prices so the wider population can construct more affordably. Countries do this to ease prices, just as they restrict exports for national security purposes. Our govt has done the same with food and plans to do the same with eggs by attracting an almost $1BN investment from the Chinese. Why should it be different with cement?

Rutherinspace:
No. Government should not allow importation for products that the country can be self-sufficient. Importation is one of the major problems of the Nigerian economy.

You stated this...

They should promote a free market economy.

Then this....

The Obasanjo administration killed Ibeto cement to favor Dangote. We're still suffering from those actions. Those policies destroy the economy and encourage monopoly. Nigeria should be pushing for competitive market policies.

Then this...

Bros, this is either trolling or sarcasm, or you don't understand what you have there.

P.S. A free market economy allows importation. Nigeria is not self-sufficient in cement production, else the price should not be at its current price.

blackmantis:
The rate it is going Government may have to step in and regulate the cost of house rent. How can someone in Calabar or Benin be asked to pay thee same rent as someone in Kubwa or Lekki.

There is no place on earth where house rents were regulated and there was a corresponding decrease in the house rents. Regulation of house rents lead to an increase, not decrease. It is basic economics.

The earnings in each state differs. While you can get a job of 250k to 500k in Lagos or Abuja where will you get such in Calabar or Benin.

Remote workers, aka those who earn in USD and live in Nigeria, are the major drivers of this. Two, people who earn lowly should focus on areas and houses where their money reach. What I see is people with low salaries targeting high income areas with certain aesthetic infrastructure, aka living a champagne life on a beer income. Things don't work out that way. Shoe get size. The alternative is to increase your income or income sources.

Tell the govt to allow cement importation and build public housing. In Lagos, it needs to build up and metro lines to Ogun and Oyo.

davidotokiblog1:
but this isn’t just about a private individual it’s about broader economic conditions and the role of government in creating a stable environment for businesses and citizens. People can invest their money, but when issues affect many citizens at once, it becomes a public concern. We can hold both individuals and government accountable where necessary without attacking each other.

Tell the gov't to allow the importation of cement and build public housing, then watch house rents fall.

This belief that govt should control prices is the root cause of our poverty. Govt should not control prices, especially in an ethnically heterogeneous country like Nigeria.

Rage bait!

A woman who ties her baby on her back has no business negotiating with a landlord for a house whose rent is 2.5m per annum. The majority of Nigerian women who are married to men who can afford that rent or singlehandedly can afford it wouldn't tie their babies on their backs and create a video for social media consumption.

p.s. Yes, it is classist, and I don't have money because I know that is the next point of rebuttal.

It seems that you are the one that didn't understand what the person I quoted was trying to say. I had to go back and reread the posters comment to be sure I didn't misunderstand.
There was no place in his write-up that he stated marriage or sex categorically but once you understand the implication of what he was saying you will see he mentioned sex rhetorically many times.
So to conclude you had no understanding of what he meant. Meaning my comment remains true and correct. Cheers!

Apologies for being pedantic, but here is my response and do have a great day too.

Everything is on a much higher level. What choice does a Black woman have in Europe? 90% of them have no chance at all to achieve a serious relationship with a quality white man.
What remains for them are Black men who cannot even help themselves, let alone form a family and be even remotely decent husbands. Black men are known for the fact that their ultimate success in life is to get some stupid white woke loser pregnant and run away because they are not capable of anything more.

uchkochi:
Condoms may protect physical diseases but cannot shield you from spiritual diseases.

Backwardness and foolishness is a spiritual disease. You are not enjoying you are going down and introducing evil occurrence to your family. Stop sleeping around not every girl carries a good spirit and energy.

This belief is prominent in poorer countries. However, mystic power still holds sway in poorer countries, again, largely as a result of the belief in these poorer countries. In reality, well-to-do men are the ones who have the most sexual intercourse and even more so for well-to-do married men. The questions should be: why are these spiritual beliefs prevalent in poorer countries? Why are some men poor? Why do some men become financially handicapped later in life? The state of the economy and dogmatic beliefs which prevent risk taking and pivoting to new areas, coupled with high fecundity rates, are the reasons some men become poorer, not necessarily because they have sex with different women. Heck, a financially comfortable man in Nigeria does not or should not lack consistent sex. It is the financial well-being that brings forth women, not the lack or avoidance of women. How come the men who don't sleep around become wealthier?

P.S. Womanising is expensive though, and largely a rich man's sport.

Your signature carries a religious banner. Bros, I have come across a lot of PASTORS who sleep around. I had them in my family's hotels. I knew them down to their churches. I have been told of Catholic priests who sleep with women, both married and single. A pastor with a popular megachurch literally forced my friend's crush in our first year to sleep with him. In the first semester, she refused and failed his course (GST o). She had to succumb to his will and passed everything. My academic supervisor is a knight in a popular church and always acts tough in classes and meetings, but there are recordings of him begging girls to allow him put his preek inside. I knew another whose dad was a commissioner where I did my SIWES. He, too, is a pastor in another popular megachurch and ALWAYS walked with teenage girls. I never saw him with boys, ALWAYS girls, and all were in their teens or max early twenties.

Abegi, when it comes to religious men and anything sexual, I know it like the back of my palms. I can write a thesis on it. They f o r k A LOT

goran3310:
My opinion? It all depends on what a woman wants and how much she is worth.
Either adapt to the new society and environment or disappear.
Beauty standards are incomparably stricter.
Everything is on a much higher level. What choice does a Black woman have in Europe? 90% of them have no chance at all to achieve a serious relationship with a quality white man.
What remains for them are Black men who cannot even
White people make up 7% of the world’s population. If anyone is endangered, they are endangered. That makes things even more difficult. When dating, that should also be kept in mind.

Basic demographics and human tribalism, but many seem to overlook it. The aspect of "quality white man" is also an important metric in assessing marriages.

drnoel:
That is also not true. Most white men would sleep with anything sleepable and they love exortic things here

The person you quoted emphasised marriage not causal sex. You are stating an entirely different aspect.

Princedapace:
Life is not fair on Most Nigerians. Due to the nature of my work, I rarely go out, today, I wanted to buy food, so I drove to the nearest mall to buy food. It was around 2pm. Immediately stepped out, see sunlight, the crushing effect of the sun was unbearable, I was inside my car, turned on the AC, yet I could feel the effect of the sun before my AC circulated. But something caught my attention, the many Nigerians on the road side, people's mom, fathers, brothers, sisters, bf, gf. Lord, this is too much. With such heavy sun, Nigerians needs AC in their shops. God this is too much. The sun was so much that even with my AC on, I could feel it a bit. But I could see how much of pains are on the faces of the people I saw outside, the people inside shop whose solar fans are now blowing hot air, those roasting plantains, shops are so hot eh, a friend told me she had toc close her shop and go home becus the heat was unbearable and she uses solar fan.

But why? God gave us oil, gas, lithium, gold, farmable lands, many other natural minerals, but none we have been able to use for our benefits. Why are we sufferinng like this? It is like the suffering is deliberate. I felt so terrible, I imagined my mom too, where she might be under the sun, maybe going to buy something. The pains of many older men and women who have never known any form of comfort and happiness since they were born.

I cant stay inside without electricity, I must on the Gen to sleep, to work, to do anything. My family deserve 24/7 electricity, they deserve to drink bottle water, they deserve comfort. Imagine ur child, an innocent child dealing with this sun but govt says u are owing them 700k of income tax. This means quality of life has degraded further. This is pure wickedness. Nigerians have no business with this wickedness.

Let me give u a break down, a person earning 30m yearly is not rich. That person is just a bit able to afford a bit of comfort and YES, u deserve comfort in such a wicked and hot country. How on earth should a human be exposed to this type of wicked sunlight every day of their lives? While the politicians cant even survive one minute outside this wicked sunlight, they expect u to survive it and pay them 25 percent of ur income sweat.

Why so wicked to ur own kind? Why are blacks this wicked? We patch our roads, we take herbs now becus health care is wacky, expensive and out of reach of most Nigerians, we take herbs, we are dying becus of it, we dont fucking have electricity, Nigerians deal with heat without electricity. If we had stable electricity, every shop would have an AC, it is a needed appliance now, the heat is too much. But most gen cant even carry AC, most solar that can carry AC are super expensive for over 90 percent of Nigerians.

What type of life is this? Many were born, raised and they got old under this wickedness. Pls, if u are reading this and have not given birth, pls abort it. If na Benin republic or Ghana, just go there and born. It is better.
YOUR CHILD DESERVE 24/7 ELECTRICITY AND AC UNDER SEVERE HEAT. BEING A NIGERIAN IS NOT A CURSE. PLEASE DONT TAKE MY WARNING FOR GRANTED, THIS COUNTRY IS WICKED, THE LEADERS HERE ARE EXTREMELY WICKED. I think they have intionally weaponized suffering. It is a pity the people cant fight to save them selves but were hoping the US helps them out.
These politicians intentionally refused to invest in education, STEM based education would have saved this country, proper political structuring would have saved this country, they knew, they know exactly what to do. I say this because when u sit with them outside political environment, when u sit with them one on one, u will hear them say this truth, they know that unity as it structured now can never take this country anywhere.

Sometimes i really wished the Igbos succeeded with their move in 1967, this would have changed the story of the black race. NIGERIANS biggest problem merging multiple ethnic groups into one. Now, the masses cant unity to fight their oppressors and the politicians love it that way. NIGERIANS HAVE SUFFERED. If u are a politican reading this or work for them, i knee down to beg u, pls, have mercy, it is enough. Pity for these old men and women. Sometimes i feeel for my dad, i feel for my mom. They are growing old, they never enjoyed life. That is the story of millions of Nigerians.
Now, govt has made it worse more for us, they have vowed to take from us the more which will make it harder for us to even support families and friends from our income, govt says if u make 25m and above per year, u are rich. Na still from that 25m u go buy fuel for ur family house, na still their u go use give them cold inside heat. God, this is too much.

I appreciate your sincerity. It's hard to come across a sincere Nigerian who explains the true situation of the country even though he's not directly affected.

Even for village weh People poor pass city them de marry mor than one. Suffa you can feed them. Those who can afford it will all fingers are not equal.

Polygamy in today's world favours women more than men. Marrying a woman means taking responsibility of her and the offsprings (if they are). Many men would rather rent the cow than purchase it which leads to owning and catering to a ranch. The aim is to get the milk (side chick), so why buy the cow (polygamy)?

Current side chick model favours men.

sammiewrite:
Religious associations will not substitute the place of being the kind of human people want to relate with. I mean, religion will not fix a shitty person or a person with major character flaws.

The other five girls you are talking about, maybe you should have tried to start a relationship with one of them to really understand why they were single for that long. I was born into a Christian home and my immediate will be 30 by september without even a boyfriend let alone a husband. I tell you what, though, she is one of the most religious persons I know but with a major flaw: arrogance. She is always right. She don't listen to or take advise from anyone, not even her parents. She doesn't take correction. She never apologises! As a man, tell me how you want to have productive discussions or build with a woman like this.

To an outsider like yourself who don't know about this side of her, you will say my sister is still single because she is a naive church girl who got caught up in her naiveness of romantic relationships.

Ndi "A woman can never be wrong".

Bluearrow:
It is hard to avoid loneliness at old age especially as a man. My mom's elder sister is around 79 years, she has more than 8 children, but now live alone. My mom told me they got a paid maid to be coming around to do her chores. My point is regardless of marital status, everyone should partially prepare for loneliness at age.

GBAM! Parents of children who have japa'd to various locations should have understood this by now. Nigerians need to separate their desire for children from companionship. Both are different.

Some Mainland Chinese have remarked on visiting Japan because they are sure of the authenticity of products here compared to back home.

dettolgel:
If you think the US will watch their dollar dominance go just like that, then you most be joking. If you think EU will watch her citizens suffer and her economy destroyed then you most be from mars.

All those things they asked countries not to do they all did that to save their economy so as to stay ahead.

Let me give you a peek into how their minds work. Greece owed EU a lot of money and other EU nations were complaining about it and wanted to get more loan out of the EU. EU knew that if they allowed it, they are done for it. EU before the world gave Greece options 1: accept austerity measure and EU will give them more money or 2: face bankruptcy and exist EU. I am sure you understand the implication of option 2 on EU's and as a body.

The so called custodian of democracy said to Greek representatives go talk to your people and let them decide.

They went talked to their people about it and like any other democratic loving nation, their people said sure we will put it to vote and whatever the majority agrees upon we will stand by that. EU nodded with a smile. The whole world was watching and the Greeks went to vote on the 5th of July 2015.

Verdit: majority said fck EU we dont want their bailout we had better crash out of EU and burn. The Greeks were happy and told their representatives to take it to EU.

Outcome: When they went to Brussels behind closed doors EU did what EU does best, their ministers went back to Athens, overturned the will of the people and stayed in line as directed by EU.

Britain leaving EU is costing them so much, that the fear of what EU is doing to UK is keeping any other nation with the faint thought of leaving EU in check. Today UK is trying to stage a come back masked in different disguise of re negotiating their exit.

Bro, they would rather burn the whole world than suffer the fate you think is coming their way. Even if the whole world goes nuts they will be ontop of the pile.

Do a little search on how the US and EU handled to 2008 financial meltdown and look at what happened in Zimbabwe and ask yourself why?

I appreciate your whole post, but for the ending: The West sanctioned Zimbabwe. So, Zimbabwe was handicapped and lost access to international funds, until the coming of Chinese investments.

Kipaji:
A man's life begins when he is born. Not at 30, not at 40.

Whatever age you are, live life and enjoy it. Enjoy the highs and the lows, the calm and the tumult, the hope and the despair. Being invisible at 20, doesn't mean that your life hasn't started yet. The start of your life is not determined by when women give you attention.
Whether you are 21 or 42 don't postpone happiness to tomorrow. Live now. Not at 30, not at 40, not at 50. Now.

My Oga At the top - Tensazangetsu20 gave me the same answer when I asked: When we go enjoy this money?

His answer? Now

And you both are correct because the enjoyment and trials at the age of 20 or 30 differs when they are performed/experienced at the age of 50 or 60. So enjoy it now.

Oracleee:
Ride on pastor. Truly, this is your season.

The pastoral market in Nigeria is booming like never before and let’s be honest, it’s not slowing down anytime soon. The tougher the economy gets, the more people run to churches for “succour,” and somehow, everything still ends up being labeled spiritual.

Fuel price goes up.....spiritual.

Job loss.....forces from your mother's family

Trailer misses brake on those deadly hills in Aramoko Ekiti..... spiritual attack.

Meanwhile, if you actually know that road, you’ll understand that physics and bad infrastructure are working overtime there. Sharp bends, steep hills, tired drivers… but no, let’s bind and cast.

And in the middle of all this, some pastors are cashing out like it’s peak season.
Now we even have pastors pulling up in Cybertrucks to Uniport. Innovation meets revelation. Silicon Valley meets Mount Zion. At this point, the gospel is not just being preached it’s being test-driven.

Dear pastors in that category, ride on. Nigerians’ prosperity now seems directly tied to how bad the economy gets. The worse things become, the more people give hoping for a miracle bailout. And you? Just keep flexing atleast the bible said a fool will be pathed from is money.

Truly, it’s a well-structured system. Pain below, profit above.
Ride on pastor… it’s your time.

Nicely and hilariously written! Thank you!

What specialty in academics is this taught? I don't mind running a six month program in it.

Onegai:
That British university is a moderately crap University. Go and read Brit forums, they're usually insulting Coventry (I saw a thread where Brits were telling an American who wanted to apply there to save his money because internationally it wasn't a strong degree). It's an average university at best

Agreed. Coventry University in my books isn't worth the cost. Better enrol in Stellenbosch or the University of Cape Town if it must be a foreign university.

If we really want to benefit, we would be talking to Cambridge, Imperial College and Oxford, but those ones don't need our money.

Not just money, but highly rated university wouldn't want to dilute their brand power.

Some British secondary schools are moving here for our money: Charterhouse, Rugby, Wellington. Nigerians can't get visa, forex is too pricey plus England is deeply unsafe for Black kids so the wealthy flooded the top Lagos and Abuja schools with their scions. And the British schools felt the financial loss so they're moving branches here

The bold is interesting because many new japa migrants eulogise the UK for the education and how their relocation is for their children. Well, I'm not surprised so much. Raising a Black child within a Black environment, and preferably culturally similar, helps in personal confidence and grit. And if your assertion is widespread in the UK, I can imagine in France, Spain and Switzerland.

Sha, I have never rated British education. It is not math intense as it focuses on soft skills plus speaking foneee English 🙄

So Charterhouse, Rugby, now Wellington, all in Lagos. Charterhouse = Ajah, Rugby = Eko Atlantic, Wellington = Alaro City.

Thank you for letting us know Kuda pays poorly and has frozen both salary increment and promotions. This is how we learn.

So how much is a junior developer salary at Kuda? Senior developer?

nairalanda1:
Well, what did you all expect.

1.Your government under GEJ privatises power in 2013, and then takes the power of setting their prices away from them and places it in government hands.

2. Government then promised to pay subsidies to cover the losses that would result, and then forgets to pay most of them

3. Since power companies cannot charge a cost reflective tarrif, as a result, they lose a lot of money, and the subsidy payments that do come cannot cover their losses completely. They are forced to borrow from the banks to survive.

4. Also, the discos engage in ripping off customers from estimated billing to bill inflation

When government is setting your prices, the result is scarcity, corruption and inefficency.

(As an example, in Poland, from 1945-1990, government set the prices of food below what it cost the farmers to produce it. The result was food scarcity, shortages, long queues at shops for things like bread and eggs and milk!..and so forth. But once the Solidarity government removed the prices set by the Communist party of poland, and allowed farmers set their prices, the result was that while prices shot up, there was an abundance of food in the shops and market. TOday, no queues in poland for food.)

5. Before you say it is all GEJ's fault, Buhari came in, and maintained the price controls. Tinubu too came in and maintained the price controls

6. Add the problems of massive power theft, and bypassing of meters (60% of metered consumers as at 2025), and the result is a power sector that is losing money, struggling to surive and cannot pay for gas

7.The result is for the nth time, the gas companies have totally refused to supply gas to the gencos. They want their money, all over 10 trillion naira worth of it, including 6-8 trillion owed by government in subsidy payments dating from 2014.

8. When the discos and gencos were NEPA, it was the same story.

9. So, since the gencos cannot pay for gas, and they cannot raise enough funds from the discos, the result is that Band A cannot get light because the gencos and discos are so broke that they can't even survive without ripping off consumers.


Lack of a cost reflective tarrif caused all this. Saying that it is tinubu or gej is basically saying that tinubu andGEJ have been ruling this country since 1978.


I am not here to convince you to support tinubu, I am here to show you why the situation is bad. Please for god's sake vote out tinubu, but don't expect your new leader to bring back light unless Nigerians rich and poor pay a cost reflective tarrif. ALL OF THEM, Not just band A.

Thank you for the detailed breakdown. Now, I see where the problem comes from - government setting prices, which shouldn't be the case.

Mr IbeOkehie is correct: the problem of Nigerians is their socialist nature. An ethnic heterogeneous socialist country cannot be prosperous.

Mr IbeOkehie, take your flowers. It's well deserved!

nedu666:
Have you seen the compensation slip of any worker. Which company will give you 7 months payment. Dey play

So what is the salary of a marketing employee with the company? If it is, say, 500K for those in Lagos, a 7-month severance payment is fair enough.

And so what? What does it have to do with you? OK, when they get 50, they may regret. But does that improve your life in any way?

Live your life bro. Let women live theirs. And if they (ever) regret, that's their personal problem.

Instead of expecting women to regret their dating and mating choices when they reach 50, focus on ensuring that you won't regret your own choices when you reach 50.

GBAM!

Please collect an e-handshake. Well deserved!

But seriously, why Igbo man dey tey before them marry? All my Uni classmates are now in their late 30s and early 40s and the Igbo boys among us are all unmarried. If na money, they have the money and they are making much more as we speak, but marry? Mba! They have refused to do so. What exactly is the problem?

This is interesting considering the bold.

I'm thinking of the reason being taking care or trying to settle their siblings before getting married.

Rapmoney:
Have you noticed something in most modern women? They are very brutal when it comes to making choices, and they hold on to their choices tenaciously like the grip of a 20-foot python on a helpless goat. Modern women do not involve emotions, past acts of kindness, sympathy, empathy, etc, when they make choices. That is why a woman can easily switch lanes; she can easily throw you under the bus, no matter what you have done for her, if she sees another man that can take her to the next level.

As a man, you need to be brutal in your choices of life. You need to choose you first. You need to be at least 85% selfish. This is not some redpiller talk. Neither is it just another advice. It is a prerequisite for survival and success in a complex society filled with hypergamous women.

Whenever there is conflict between what a woman wants and a course that can upgrade your life, always go for the latter, because if you don't, she would do the exact opposite without remorse if placed in your shoe.

As a man, always put yourself first. No let anybody whine you. Poor man house dey always dey far. If house fall, goat go climb the roof. Do not let them meet you at the same spot they left you.

Cc:

As Mr Emma has stated, they have seen their mothers' conditions and have decided "it can never be me". At the same time, they now earn equally as men, so the competition for already scarce resources have stiffened.

It is why I keep preaching that young men should focus on their economic wellbeing rather than whether a woman would get married or not, because these women are not hell-bent on the institution as their mothers. They have fought societal shackles; they possess economic and birth rights. Also, it is why I keep harping that today's world is that of a woman, and only a man's own when he is financially comfortable.

LordIsaac:
Until they clock 50 ...Then the realization!

Women who are looking for sperm donors? Women who have decided that if dem no born, nothing much as long as they keep earning money? Women who are travelling around yanfu-yanfu? See, at 50, society looks at your economic achievement, not whether you don born or not. So, I find it funny when lads mock women with that in today's age given that women are getting plum jobs and building profitable businesses. In fact, most of the men who mock these women online MIGHT never get to live the lives these women have, and that is the most important metric - your economic prosperity, not whether she is unmarried at 50 or childless at 40.
