mrvitalis:What tribal sentiments? You can read what this Yoruba man said below: https://thenationonlineng.net/subsidy-removal-floating-of-naira-disruptive-changes-nigeria-must-go-through-soludo/ Stop using the tribal card when the news does not fit your narrative. I am apolitical. I have even said I would have preferred Atiku's policies over Tinubu's. Is Atiku Yoruba? All the 3 main presidential candidates were also going to end fuel subsidies and make the Naira market reflective again. What's the noise now about Tinubu for implementing those very same reforms? Why did the country's GDP drop so drastically? It was due to the Naira losing about 60% of it's value. So, let's say the country GDP is 100 trillion naira and th exchange rate is $1- N500. That means the country's GDP in dollars would be $200bn. Now, if the exchange rate now fell to $1-N1,500, that means the GDP is now $66bn. The fall is down to the drop in the exchange rate. However, it won't remain that way forever. Soon, prices would begin to adjust to the new value. I am an estate agent and I have seen property prices increase by over 100% in the last 2 years. Salaries too will increase. In time, when a rebasing of the economy is carried, the nation's GDP would be much higher. |
mrvitalis:Oga, if they told you a man went from 105kg to 25 kg in 3 weeks, would you believe it? That's the same thing as believing Nigeria's per capita income is now $800. I am neither APC nor PDP. I am apolitical. They are all crooks. If I was to choose a candidate purely for his proposed economic policies, it would have been Atiku. Secondly, judging the economy by parties is unsound, It is best judged by presidents, and not parties. OBJ- A3 Yar'Adua- C2 Jonathan- D Buhari- F9 raised to the power 10 Tinubu- A3 Buhari completely destroyed the economy. That was why people were Japaing. Tinubu is reviving it but economic reform is always painful. Things wouldn't have been this bad had Emefiele refused to coorperate him. 97% of government of government revenue was going towards debt servicing. Imagine you collecting a salary of 1m monthly, and you're left with only 30k after servicing your debt. The World Suggest 20% but Nigeria's was 97%. That Kenya is about 40% and the country has to implement reforms to increase revenue and there are protests everywhere. |
mrvitalis:I just checked and you seemed "right." However, the figure is down due to the Naira develuation. If the economy was rebased as was done in 2007, per capita income would be at least $2,000. In 2007, it was over $3,000 in 2007. |
He should open a new account and apologize. He can quickly gather new followers, especially if he announces his return. Though Instagram does not pay, money he gets from advertisers for shoutouts and adverts would be huge. 1.8m fans no be moinmoin |
Company tax at 25% is quite high. The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria have recommended it be reduced to 20%. I would suggest a max of 19%. |
pathinv:Someone said he has money now. He is mo longer broke. That's good for him |
Kalulu44:How is he making money now? Is it as a pastor? Man gotta chop |
I have only been to Abuja once in my life and that was in early 2000s. I don't chase contracts Na contracts they chase me ![]() |
Starhearts:Where's Walmart in the list? They employ about 1m workers. It is bizarre thar NNPC is not only the list. |
Many broke footballers can now smile. I hope Taribo West name is there. He really needs it. |
mrvitalis:Their per capita income isn't higher than Nigerias. I doubt it's even up to half. |
Iran had no choice but to accept a ceasefire. The US hit was hard and it exposed Iran's vulnerability. It was an ant being pound by an elephant. Many n Iran aren't pleased that the Mullahs agreed to a ceasefire. They really had no choice. How long would their rockets last if they continued? They probably run out in maximum a month. That was their only "Trump" card ![]() |
Let's be honest, Iran capitulated. The US strike seemed to have woken it to how powerful the US was, and how vulnerable they were. Nevertheless, I think Israel will have some respect for the Iranians. Iran will use the ceasefire to stuck up more weapons while Isreal would improve the capabilities of the Iron Dome, bringing it up to scratch to deal with the type of advance rockets that Iran employed. |
Elrufai will never forgive Tinubu. Elrufai could forgive Tinubu for not appointing, but he'll never forgive Tinubu for appointing persons not worthy of walking in his shoes into his government. When you think of Akpabio, Ganduje, Matawalle and so on, you will understand why. There's even Wike. |
He should turn his pepper into pepper soup. He should Tiktok and vlog his experience. There'd be millions who want to know your experience and progress. Tiktok may not pay you but you can earn money through adverts. Youtube would pay you. Follow this advise and in 5 years time, you'd be making good money. |
Checkwell:She's very gorgeous. You must be jealous. Does your baby match her? |
It seems Netanyahu is focusing on regime change. |
This will be very interesting. I hope to start a startup one day. |
shibyc Firstly, If she continues like this, it's best you dump her. She's going to be very entitled when you're married. She's the type that will be sending your kids to you any time they ask her for money. Secondly, let her keep the business. Accept that as a loss. It's the honorable thing to do. |
Ruke1990:You sha! Wetin Mustafa no go see for Nairaland ![]() |
Ruke1990:You were doing okay until your last paragraph. The color of your skin determines nothing. If you look down on your race, that is wrong. If you feel your race is superior, that is also wrong. I can tell by your statement that you've never travelled overseas. I am certain 99.99%. If you have actually travelled or lived there, I have a family friend who before leaving Nigeria thought white people were angels. After leaving in the UK, he detests British girls. He'd rather date a cat. He would serioysly discourage me. Next time, it's better to say the average African. You can even niche it further by saying the average Nigerian. Your background and the culture you grew up in has a greater influence on your character. The prime reason why there are fee pre-nups in Nigeria is because there really is little need for it. The society is misogynistic. Men can treat their wives how they like with little retribution. Even if she files for divorce, she might gain very little financially. What hurts them the most is that their husbands cheat to their faces, and they have to put up with it. If they complain, society can even turn against them. When these same women get overseas and the same husband tries the same nonsense, what do you expect? She might want to teach you a lesson for her past abuse. It is not as simple as just blaming the woman. Married men need to remove the rocks blinding them to see the small stone in their wives eyes. There are several successful Nigerian marriages overseas, and most often, the man is faithful to the wife, The man too helps around the house. In Europe, most women contribute to family expenses. It's not like here where the man is expected to shoulder most of the financial burden. The man therefore handles a lot at home. |
We are closer to World War 3 than at any other time. This might be "The Great Tribulation," |
Emma1Oj:Things are as hopeless as we perceive they are. That's why when we are in need or desperate. If instead of hawking, if he carried a placard along the road saying he is a level 500 student of medicine and he wants to dropout because of lack of funds, I am sure one or two motorist will help him, if they are convinced of his story. His school fees is nothing to many people. The money they spend on their boerboels in a week is more than his feeding allowance in a month! As he is even hawking, if he dresses well, and sounds educated, one or two motorists will ask him questions and when they learn about his history, they'll feel pity for him. They won't even want to see him hawking again. |
Her village will be celebrating her. Hubris does not pay the bills. |
4Things are truly progressing from bad to worse.(Read 2 Timothy 3:13) We nearing day by day to towards the Great Tribulation. The Great Tribulation will culminate with Armageddon, when God sends his might angels to bring complete destruction upon the unrighteous, wicked and the ungodly. One sign of the Great Tribulation is the attack on false religion worldwide. When that happens, remember I informed you here.

Abiola was owed 45billion? Does he know what he is saying? 45bn then was well, well over $1bn. I doubt the country's budget was up to that figure. |
D1official:Iran's warhead is truly an issue. They can launch it when pushed to the wall. |
NassBoy:You didn't annoy me at all. What I meant was that any issue concerning how one spends money should be discreet. We have lots of scammers here. |
NassBoy:This is a public forum. One must watch one types. I do help when I can. You have probably suffered from the hands of mean and tightfisted people. That's where you're coming from. I notice a lot of people are wary of asking for help due to what you said. |
FengChui:A lot of what you said here is right. At the end of the day, it all depends on our individuality, size of the problem, and the way we se it. I don't want to sound like Peter in the Bible and be cocky, neither do I want to see things in a negative way. |
This is so sad. Worse, I doubt the government can eradicate these idiots as they can flee to Niger country for cover. |
