Werey wey no get work, na him wife dey feed sn, so ba the wife paid for all that was incurred while serving Nigeria in no position. When the wife stopped footing the bill, he has to throw in the towel

Really?

vanbonattel:
Chronically insecure people.

Very pained that the second in the world is bearing chidinma as her name, they have to find a way to attachee by force the dressing of the first.

What is wrong with us in this part of the country?

They will still claim the second as their daughter, that her surname Adetshina is from Ondo, and claim the 3rd, 4th, 5th and all the contestants as being from their region.

Again,

What is wrong with some of us?

You're the one with a problem

A major problem

You're the one finding what's not lost

You, indeed, have a problem

Ttalk:
They should just pack one side with their extortion. Until they they change subscription to pay as you watch, they will continue to lose customers with their contents that promotes promiscuity over educative programmes

Don't mind them

They're blaming the loss of customers on inflation

Meanwhile, Netflix is growing under the same inflation

Who are they deceiving?

So many people are not happy with their pricing model on which they even repeat movies and shows without an opportunity to choose what to watch when you want it

baslone:
If he easy, go run am!

I don't understand

Run what? He made a promise and collected money. Did he deliver? Has he redeemed the promise?

Is this what you want others to run?

Nigeria sef!

Who says he must be right every time?

Jehovah can change its mind @ anytime, to move the appointed prophesy.

Why would Jehovah change His mind?


Hehehehhe

Why bother to prophesy?

richmond500:
I don't think Obi will say something like this.

But I believe Church needs to go, especially these Nigerian churches that is more interested in money than preaching salvation

What a lazy excuse

You could have simply watched the video before rushing to comment

Pocca:
Ojukwu rejoined the Nigerian army?. I don't believe anything from the yorubas until I confirm it. Yorubas can lie.

What a senseless comment

tundegan:
Tinubu should give her the offer formally and let her decide.

I believe she will turn it down.

Her husband legacy is too big for her to toy with.

How far nah?

OkCornel:
Awww so touching. You’re human, but the bolt driver is a monkey and a rat you can make to disappear.

You’re only remorseful because the incident was recorded and generated a backlash beyond your expectations.

Spare us the hypocrisy

Your head is correct

Imagine if the incident wasn't recorded

tundegan:
Tinubu should give her the offer formally and let her decide.

I believe she will turn it down.

Her husband legacy is too big for her to toy with.

We will revisit this later

Hope you won't look for a desperate excuse

ehikwe22:
These sacked directors are very very very corrupt. I was opportuned to know one of them personally. Lots of things were recovered from them running into several billions of naira it was quite interesting.

But the problem is, Tinubu sacked them not because they're corrupt, but because of political reasons. We know why they were sacked and it's a good thing because I expected it. But the fact that their replacement will be worse ten folds and nothing will happen to them is a problem

Really? Which agency recovered several billions of naira from the one you know?

fuckingAyaya:
If Tinubu imposes 5% tax on telecoms they will be left with no choice than to hike their tariff, the poor masses will be at the receiving end. Be like say Tinubu sign MOU with devil to finish us before December.

Do you understand what they're talking about?

What has happened to the Siemens deal?

Suggest an alternative

Na wa o

The judge should please rule in the interest of Nigeria and not in the interest of looters and thieves

phantom:
Now, let me ask you.. what are the benefits of a defended nara

I've answered this question without being asked in previous posts

phantom:
Very good! So the initiative itself wasn't the issue but the resultant corruption. Now imagine if that subsidy went to the sectors that needed it the most. ....the real productive sectors.

That is our point! The same thing wit energy subsidy.

There is nothing wrong with fuel subsidy . Every sane, civilised, serious nation SUBSIDISES ENERGY in some way. A serious leader with the will would tackle the corruption in fuel subsidy and not the whole initiative.

Hope you're not oversimplifying this

Subsidy to which sectors?

Meanwhile, hope you know this is not what Obi said

mrvitalis:
That's not the only way it can be done when though that's the only way APC has done it

You can also defend naira by reducing demand from the start... Solving the problem from the root cause which is what I stated as an example pharmaceuticals

Mistake number 1: it's not an APC thing. It has cut through the tenures of Yaradua, Jonathan and Buhari. We had enough reserves and borrowed. They frittered it on defending the naira.

Mistake number 2: you're adding what Obi didn’t say or insinuate. Again, what you have added isn't new. It started from the IBB era in the 80s. Oh, substitute imports and promote exports. But where are we? Is it that easy?

For those who don't know, borrowing to defend the naira DOES not mean reducing demand. It means what it means. Don't put words in Obi's mouth

What Obi said isn't so brilliant. Simple

Let's stop being emotional

mrvitalis:
Then I Expentiated on the statement defend the naira...

The method of defending the naira is what is different obi has been clear

I can now see that you're innocently making a mistake.

Borrowing to defend the naira means that the naira will trade at a lower rate and the differential will be paid from the foreign exchange loan. It's like subsidising the naira. Nigeria has done it many times before now. The subsidy went to connected people and the beneficiaries didn't transfer the cost savings.

It was the main reason the black market rate was usually far higher than the official rate..

Obi hasn't said anything new or novel

Tareq1105:
I keep having this feeling that Obi couldn't have done better.

On one on one, Obi doesn't seem to understand the Nigeria economy even though he claims to be a player. Obi doesn't know economics.

Why would Obi be thinking of borrowing from outside to defend the Naira?

I think our opposition parties, PDP and LP are as daft as the government they're expected to criticize constructively.

Oppositions parties are supposed to be vibrant of articulated ideas and policies to convince Nigeria and Nigerians, and put the ruling party on its toes.

See what Obi is saying.

Exactly 💯

LordReed:
As a stop gap measure, I can see that but that is not a long term solution. Even as a stop gap measure it is still dubious.

Don't mind them. They see everything the man says as the gospel truth.

How can any knowledgeable person be talking about borrowing to defend the naira? And some people are hailing him

mrvitalis:
Obviously you don't understand economics

Obi has been clear borrowing is never the issue what you do with it is the issue

He said he will borrow to defend the naira

He stated the purpose. Do you know what it means to borrow to defend the naira?

Stop being emotional. We've been through borrowing to defend the naira in Nigeria.

Stop being ignorant.

Xxxxtentacion2:
State filled with bad roads...

Don't mind them

mrvitalis:
Everyone knows that's the only solution
Obi said he would borrow 12 billion dollars that he had the connections

The Koko is what you use the borrowed money to do

APC from Buhari to Tinubu now keep borrowing to build infrastructure with the hope that the infrastructure would kick start development

Not only are the infrastructure over inflated they are sighted wrongly so can't even breakeven

So they just increase our debt service, increase recurrent expenditure and have absolutely no increase in revenue

Obi solution is to borrow money

Give it to the people, support business especially in export potential business and import substitutes

1) you create employment
2) you boost revenue, as this businesses come for the needed loan you capture them into the tax net
3) you don't increase debt service per say as the people would pay back the loan

This can kick start a chain of events that kick start the economy

OBi and Tinubu are not the same

You obviously don't understand the nonsense Obi said

Na so

okerekingsley90:
This your comment eh hold no water. Its in our hands to make that corrective change as a people. But who one die

Which of the comments hold no water?

Rubbish

As if the office of the first lady is constitutional

Nigerian leaders are great when it comes to spending and ostentation but poor when it comes to governance

What would have happened if he didn't have a daughter or wife?

Nigerian leaders continue to push Nigerians to the brink everyday

Again, rubbish!
