Salewa97:
Bauchi Governor should focus on his own state first before pointing fingers. Tinubu is working hard to stabilize the economy, and it takes time. Everyone knows that good governance is a process, not an overnight miracle. Let's support the progress rather than dwell on complaints.

I am an absolute supporter of Tinubu before he becomes president.
I was optimistic about his ability to govern the country very well.
Not until he started rolling out fluctuating policies.
thing is becoming increasingly difficult for ordinary Nigerians and the president have nothing to do to stop the pain of the people.
Of course things must be tough for us to witness changes in our economy. But Tinubu government has not yet taken any action to show that his administration is different from the previous administrations that brought up the suffering.
Rather than breathing new systems to help make life easier, Tinubu government is making the same mistakes other failed government before his own administration made and even more worse than the previous administrations.
God help us

Solution to this issue is the supply of crude oil to the local refineries and let them pay in naira as directed by the federal executive council headed by Bola Ahmed Tinubu .
Case closed

EponObi:
See how Baba Iyabo dey talk like say the rot and mess we are experiencing today didn't start with him.

He's talking about Nigeria putting all her eggs in one basket. Lol. What did he do to diversify our economy as a military head of state and the first and a two-term president after 1999? The man even pushed a third term agenda.

Didn't everyone of them since 1960 abandon agriculture and chase after oil money?

"I believe we made a very, very deadly mistake" - No sir, I believe YOU made a very, very deadly mistake.

When you invited Shell and they told you about the corruption ruining our refineries, sir, what did you do with the power given to you by the people to crush the cabal and rot in our oil industry? You were president for 8 years, what did you do to put the interest of the people as priority? What efforts did you make to change the trajectory of the NNPC for the benefit of the common Nigerians?

What was OBJ's stride in our gas sector? What policies and reforms did he introduce to the gas industry? What were his implementations? Didn't he flare our gas too?

OBJ is saying shit, with all due respect. This is the person some idiots are rallying around because the man they hate so much became president.

Tinubu's bad policies implementions aside, at least for the first time since 1960, we have a brave president who has the political will, muscle, and clout to repurpose our economy. And if he and the APC had allowed GEJ the weakling remove the subsidy in 2011, we would have moved past this pain - Tinubu has a share of this blame too.

There's no going back from here, inshallah. The economy must be rejigged, no matter how pain and strenuous the process may be. History will remember Tinubu for not taking the easy route of padding our economy.

Edit: Some idiots are quoting me to say trash. The truth is bitter, so deal with it. Some were saying shit about good economy under OBJ. Lol, even a retard could run our economy like he did because of the oil boom. Go and check how much Nigeria earned with crude oil sales between 1999 and 2006. Then compare with next successive governments.

The crazy oil money during that time was one of the reason they all abandoned other critical areas of the economy for oil. They took the easy way and we are suffering it today. They didn't foresee that the oil mania will end, or perhaps, they saw but didn't care because they knew they won't be the ones to deal with the problem. Nigerians just don't think, that's the issue. So far any 10 IQ president can subsidize their PMS and dollars, they think all is well and won't give a f*uck about their own future or that of the next generation.

All you want is government handouts in the form subsidies then you later cry that the country is retrogressing in economic and infrastructural development. One idiot even asked me to mention one third world country that isn't subsidizing their citizens. Oponu, must Nigeria remain a third world country for life, even after 60 years since independence? This is the kind of imbeciles that sell all they have and secure loans to japa to sane countries where nothing is free. Ode!

The country using 96% of our revenue to service loan; shouldn't that be a concern for any right thinking citizen? Instead of asking past governments how and why we got to this point, the average Nigeria won't so far you give them subsidies as if they are orphans. And before you say dogshit, OBJ didn't have to borrow because of massive oil revenue. We started borrowing after the oil boom was over. And mind you, we shouldn't have borrowed to the extent where almost all our revenue is used to service loans if OBJ diversified our economy from the start with the massive influx of income Nigeria earned during his time. He should have been the person to lay our economic blueprint and like I've said, he took the easy route and avoided the hard work.

What happens to your business when 100% of the money you make per month is used to repay loans and the situation is even worse that you are still sourcing for more loans to make your business stay afloat? If you can't answer that, keep shut whenever the Nigeria economy is being discussed.

Zero agriculture, terrible gas economy, no other economy sector, zero manufacturing + production just subsidies, vibes and inshallah plus crazy level of importation, and you, OBJ, is now complaining that our youths are redundant. Thunder fire you, sir.

All said and done.
Let Tinubu government take a decisive action on domesticating oil and gas exploration and production.
If we as people of Nigeria can not understand the working environment and be able to provide the technical knowledge to enable us be in control of our natural resources after 60 years, then, we will remain in colonial shackle as we are now.
Tinubu should work on making naira a strong currency.
The floating of naira without a solid policy to back it up is the worst policy that falls Tinubu administration.
Let the economic management team of Tinubu administration take a serious step towards selling crude oil to local refineries in naira.
This policy will help the situation around the country for better.
God help us

Tinubu is the one that allows the people to start the protest by his not having feelings for the masses.
By his not having another alternative to his excruciating policy
By not listening to the aspirations of the people
By his overblown government
By his not being able to think things out to take the bitter pills he is forcing down the throat of Nigerians out.

By his not having fatherly feelings
By his shallow thinking

Many thanks to Tinubu himself for allowing the protest to continue with his flippy and floppy sunday morning address to the people of Nigeria.

Something is going on somewhere

We don't want to listen to another story about sending palliatives around the country.
We don't want to listen to anyone telling us to be patient again.
We don't want to listen to we are doing something about the economy.
We don't want to hear story of how the whole world are experiencing economic crisis.

The day Tinubu became the president of Nigeria, he made just one pronouncement that began the crisis we are facing in the country now.
What we want to hear from Tinubu is another statement that will bring the economic crisis down for the people of Nigeria to enjoy more better living conditions.

Tinubu must redeem his name and image with his proposed Sunday morning address to the nation.

Not another flippy floppy nonsense of address to the people of Nigeria

Majority of the security men and their families are the one that are suffering most.
Unfortunately for them, they are the ones that are being used to help the government against the people who are asking our oppressors to do what will favour us the people of Nigeria.

The scenario playing out in the country presently is a big shame on Tinubu who used to be a master protester himself.

I expected Tinubu to have addressed the people of Nigeria.
As a one time professional protester, he should have the ability to understand the situation better

How are the agro allied industries going to do with the high cost of fuel and other inputs.
The solution to this high cost of living is for Tinubu to reverse some of his government policies, particularly naira floating on the market force.
No production lines in place to help naira compete with dollar.
Sanwo Olu should know better.

nepapole:
I can only see 5 people

Even only one person is enough to protest and it will send the right message

Colonial masters are still calling the shots economically.
This ongoing protest should be made to liberates ourselves.
Tinubu government is dancing to the drums of the Colonial masters.
Nigerians must take our resources and use it to help Nigerians

trutharena:
These protesters in Kaduna are just wasting their time. They think shouting will change the reality of the situation, but they are only making noise for nothing.

It is a big shame on this government of Tinubu.
The truth is that people are suffering.
The truth is that households are hungry
The truth is that policies of government have reduced purchasing power of the people
It is this government that has to offer something better to help make life easier for the people.

The name of Tinubu is now synonymous with hungry and suffering.
Tinubu should address this crisis
God help us

The solution to this issue is very simple.
With one statement from Tinubu the hunger games started
With one wrong move about the dollar to naira exchange, the crisis escalated.
Yes, there are many economic crisis before the arrival of Tinubu government, but Tinubu policies made them more worse than they were before.
The solution to the problem now lies with Tinubu to reverse some certain policies.
Help Dangote refinery and other local refineries to get crude oil supplies sufficiently. This will help bring the energy crisis to some minimum bearable level.
Distribution of palliative will never have any effect on the suffering of the people.
Sharing of certain amount of money to certain people will never have add any solution.
A simple way of getting out of this hardship is to get pronouncements from the mouth of Mr President of certain reforms of the killing policies.
It is as simple as that.

tuoyoojo:
The worst form of deceit is self deceit
Lying to one's self

The origin of this problem is fuel subsidy removal and floating of the Naira

Just fix these two things.....everyone goes home happy

But no!, they want to give away rice to shut people up. They are threatened people with court order, blaming everyone but themselves. Tinubu who was vocal during the naira redesign has suddenly become mute

Like someone above said, who is the cabal. Bring them out and show us. Were they the same cabal that supposed lagos protest in 2012 or this na fresh one

True talk.
Regulate the dollar naira exchange rate .
We don't have production lines to compete with other countries to help naira.
Allow Dangote refinery and other local refineries to get crude oil sufficiently
Only these two policies will help stabilise the economy.

Whatever it takes, NNPCL must make crude oil available to the local refineries.
Tinubu as the commander in chief of the armed forces of the federal Republic of Nigeria must take every action and necessary steps to ensure that crude oil is available for Nigeria domestic usage.
Forward sales or no Forward sales, nnpcl is required to provide crude oil for Nigeria and Nigerians.
At least, the people who are running the affairs of nnpcl are Nigerians and are answerable to the president and the government.
For the mafia who are addicted to seeing Nigerians suffering, it is time to ask themselves questions.

Esama:
What Ghana is producing that your country not producing? Your currency continue falling like toddler why Ghana currency continues appreciate.

The battle is against the strong and potentially powerful nation like Nigeria.
Unless, we have a government that is really keen about salvaging the situation, we will continue to get the treatment from the world powerful nations who are very much in battle to see Nigeria in turmoil

TheAlchemist:
Why did Dangote with zero experience in the oil and gas industry build such a gigantic refinery, the answer is simply to kill any form of local competition.

No, Sir
Any other person can come up with another gigantic refinery if the capacity is available for such person.
We need more refinery in Nigeria and Africa to help take Africa away from the European oil cartels.

Good news.
First move on the road to economic recovery.
This is a very big deal in dealing with the economic crisis in Nigeria.
It is now time to make Nigeria more independent.
Time to get back our resources.
Time to look into the joint venture dichotomy.
Many things are very much wrong for too long in the oil and gas industry.
We just need a bold leadership to rescue our oil resources from the international oil companies that have been draining the Nigeria wealth to help their own countries.

Tinubu should make sure that this order is executed properly and correctly.
The oil cartels and mafia are ready to sabotage the process if not monitor very well

All the story highlights is the mafia in the oil and gas industry
Tinubu should do whatever it takes to resolve the issues around this Dangote refinery palaver.
We have just seen the reason why Nigeria government owns refineries can not work.
Everything that has been done to make our local refineries work has proved abortive just because of the international mafia group.
Now that an individual has been able to built a refinery in Nigeria, the government is under obligation to help make the project work to help make life more prosperous and easier for Nigerians.
How many years ago did we started the business of oil exploration that we still have to depend on international oil companies for everything.
If Tinubu government is serious about taking Nigeria and Nigerians to the promised land, then here is the best way forward.
Dangote refinery is the way forward.
Let the government buys more shares through NNPCL.
God help us

Tinubu is showing Nigerians the meaning of power corrupt absolutely power is corrupt.

Why not ask the police to help make the protest as peaceful as it can be, instead of trying to block the people away from the protest.
Good governance is what the people are crying for
It is very possible to get things better by reviewing the results of government policies and making remedies where necessary.
Dangote refinery is an excellent opportunity for Tinubu government to help solve the entire fracas in the petroleum supply chain.
Tinubu government is handicap again to use the opportunity.
International oil companies are so powerful than the president and commander in chief of the Nigerian armed forces to be the one dictating how the crude oil taking from Nigeria soils will be sold to Nigerians
Not any section of Nigeria is working accordingly, except the people in power that are sharing the goodies.
Tinubu should come up with some more solid ideas on how to make things work.
Not all that promises that have not yield much.
Not the selective palliative that have no effect.
Not the bragging of few people who have the way to the government treasury and looting blindly

Men are not exempted from cooking.
Cooking/ preparing your food is number one priority in every human schedule.
When you are hungry and famished, nothing else will work out well until you eat.
So, cooking and preparing meals is a big survival instinct that man and woman must possess.

In marriage, yes, women are supposed to provide food for the household. The number one priority for woman in a family setting is to make meals for the family.
Where this assignment is lacking from the woman in the house, nothing stops the man from taking the responsibility of cooking for the house or at least cook for himself.
For breakfast, it takes a lot of responsibility for the family to make breakfast available before leaving for the day assignment.
The woman in the house must be the type that can manage time and resources and take responsibility seriously for the family to be able to enjoy breakfast every day of the week.
God help us

The meeting will not solve any problem.
Rather, the meeting will create more problems.
It is obvious that this administration of Tinubu is capitalist government being driven by imf and world Bank who are addicted to seeing Nigerians suffering in the middle of plenty.
Tinubu administration will spend 8 years and that 8 years will only see Nigerians suffering more and more from year to year.
Tinubu has failed those of us that have beliefs in his capacity.
If he wants to exhibit a good idea, it is just a matter of addressing the issues that need to recharge the system to a better extent.
Today's meeting will not work out any solution

ObiORBiafra:
Because of Ajaokuta I guess... Dangote is not happy about the government own refineries. But Nigeria can't be in your pocket for ever.

Is the government owned refinery working?

I believe we can all see the international gang up against Nigeria and Nigerians. Nigeria government is a big collaborator in this gang up.
How is it possible for a crude oil produce in Nigeria soil be subjected to the dictate of the foreign company and their foreign base agencies before it can be refined in Nigeria for Nigerians consumption?
God help us

David0002:
I really thank God for giving me the gift of speaking in tongues, ever since then, my prayer life has changed. Now I can pray for 3 hours, 4 hours without getting tired.

I still remember 31st of may, 2024. It is a day I will never forget. I didn't even dream that I will ever speak in tongues, I never prayed about it, infact I was not expecting it.

Let me tell you you truth, initially, I hated the idea of praying in tongues, I thought it was not possible, I thought it was scam, I thought that people were just speaking anything that comes out of their mouth. It was because I have prayed earnestly for it before that God should give me this gift and enable me to pray in tongues, but I didn't see it forth-coming. I prayed seriously for it, read books that dealth on Holy Ghost baptism, exercised my faith, opened my mouth for God to fill it, yet nothing happened, so I gave up the idea and stopped praying about it. But little did I know that God heard the prayer and was waiting for the appointed time to bring it to manifestation.

On that day, I was hungry to just praise and worship God and nothing more. Once it was 4.pm in the evening, I started with praise. I praised God for a very long time.

After I was true with praise, I entered into deep worship song. I worship God with songs with all my heart for a very long time.

When I was true with worshipping God with songs, I entered into a prayer of praise and. I began to call God sweet names, I was calling Him by His attributes praising and and worshipping Him. Then I became tired. I decided to sit down because I have been standing for over one hour.

As I sat down, I felt a sensation in my body, from that moment, I knew in my spirit that something was about to happen, and it happened.

Immediately something began to move from my body, immediately, it came to my mouth. Before I knew it, my mouth opened, I started to speak in tongues or pray in tongues. It was so powerful. It was like rivers of living water flowing out of my belly.

For almost 45 minutes, I was praying in tongues as the Holy Spirit gave me utterance. It was so great. It was lovely. It was so much that it didn't want to stop. It was like borehole water that doesn't finish, infact I have to force myself to stop it.

After that encounter, my prayer life has never remained the same. I can now pray for longer hours like 3 hours, 4 hours without getting tired. Before I received the gift of tongues, I could only pray for 30 minutes to 1 hour before getting tired or running out of words.

It has reached to the extent of whenever I want to pray but don't know what to pray, I will pray a simple prayer and tell God that I want to pray in tongues that the Holy Spirit should possess my lips, and that the Holy Spirit should pray through me. Immediately, my lips will open and I will start praying in tongues. God is alive, and He answers prayer. My prayer life have changed since then. Infact I am addicted to prayer. It is burning inside of me. Any day that passes without me praying is like I want to die. I can't survive without prayer.

My fellow pastor, evangelist, brother, sister, desire this gift of praying in tongues. It is more powerful and effective than praying with your understanding. By praying in tongues, you don't know what you are praying. But in the spirit, you are speaking mysteries. As you are praying in tongues, God can use your prayer and heal someone in China. Your prayer can travel to India, Japan, U.S.A, London, even to your village etc and lose someone in bondage.

I plead with you, desire this gift more than anything else. Remember, prayer is a powerful weapon. With it, you can touch anybody around the world right on your knees.

Good morning and have a pleasant day.

Happy Sunday.

We want someone who can help us with solutions to the problem in Nigeria. Someone who can pray his or her way to return Nigeria to the blessed nation it should be.
We want someone who will pray to solve our power problem
Prayer is good.
Prayer is powerful
Prayer should be personal.

God help us.
Substandard buildings are the order of the day in Nigeria today.

The problem with our local contractors is greediness.
They will cut down on materials for certain jobs in order to maximise profits.
The consultants that are scheduled to supervise the project are looking for more money rather than insisting on the right thing to be done.
The results are the collapses of buildings and roads in all parts of Nigeria.
The problem with Nigeria is Nigerians.
God help us

Electricity infrastructures development has been made into personal development by the contractors.
Billion dollars that have been invested into the system is in the hands of the contractors, the consultants and the civil servants that are supposed to see to the completion of the projects.

It is very painful.
It is very pathetic
It is just so hard to change the scenario.
Power projects management needs new hands.
The people that are there now are just enriching themselves.
God help us

That you're still paying for rent annually, pay the electricity bill , pay school fees and you are giving your wife 700k monthly upkeep is very much okay
.
You and your household will have to sit down and plan together.
If your wife is a reasonable woman, she will be able to provide the household good food and drinks for the whole month and also make some savings.
Tomorrow is good to plan for.
Tomorrow is not certain
Tomorrow is pregnant
Tomorrow is cloudy
Take time to call your wife now and talk about how to make adjustments.
Things are expensive in the market but 700k is much more than enough to get a decent living for a family of 6

Bovis:
Zenith Bank introduced corporate prostitution and other fraudulent practices into the Nigerian banking system. I know this fact because of my many years of experience with them

The bank’s foundation was built on fraud and corruption since its inception the early 90s. Therefore, I was not surprised when the rot in the CBN under Emefiele was revealed

You are right

PHIPEX:
Nawa o

How is this possible? I can see Meristem in one of the Narration. Is it possible for such reputable names to credit your account if you didn't deal with them?

Does it mean your own accounts are not being audited for over 10yrs, how.come no one noticed it internally not even through SMS or mail. This is deep

Very simple.
You know the criminals that are operating the account fraudulently are the top managers of the bank.
What they needed doing to get the account operational is to create a dual account owner database for their criminal actions to be going through.
Phone number
Email address
Financial correspondence
Auditors
And all that are needed will just be created without Otedola and co notice.

Bankers are the real criminals in all the fraudulent deals being perpetrated by politicians, contractors, business men and civil servants
