If she made this up, or fabricated it, she should be held accountable.

I know in some countries, she can be held accountable for wasting police resources. Investigations arent cheap.

So this is where our debt was hiding all these while Agbadorians have been pushing propaganda about debts being cleared?

Anybody that tells you to focus on yourself and family and leave politics alone, that person is an Agbadorian. They have unleashed them to dampen the spirits of people to think election is won and lost. If you don’t fight back, you’re the architect of your problem o.

See the countries we’re competing with
The loans from the World Bank are at concessionary terms. That means the interest rates on them are very low.

Believeintruth:
The same you was rejoicing when Buhari passed the PIA into law. Now you are changing tune. Haba bros fear God and be honest naaaa. There is no way this will not create constitutional breaches. Again our president only signed the redirection and it never specified how much will be accrued to states, LGA and FG.
The issue here is that the country needs all the money it can get. Why should billions of dollars that should rightly go to the government purse be missed?

If the PIA Is a constitutional aberration then why has it not been repealed huh

Are NNPC deductions for subsidy payments that Tinubu announced were removed in May 2023, but continue to be paid as UNDER RECOVERY on imported fuel?

Why are we still importing fuel from Malta and other places when NNPC refineries have been working since 2015, and exporting since December 2024 huh
The second you mentioned NNPC refineries, I knew you were running on the wrong path.

That's my President. NNPC will be reduced to the status of a mere Ministry. No more excess funds to steal.

Only PBAT can take the bull by the horn. The other Agulu guy and the Adamawa guy once asked my president to take a cue from Argentina. Today, Argentina is in shambles while Nigeria is progressing. The Agulu guy shamelessly deleted his Argentina tweets. This is what happens when you take advise from a lunatic.
Argentina's problems are quite chronic.

Milei has to go for broke like Cardoso. There should be no sacred cows or else, he'll fail.

Sell it to your village people.

On a strong note, release the bird.

Better money will come your way. It is desperation that is compelling you to sell the bird.

Though I am not a fan of Burnaboy's music that much, it is so obvious he has global appeal. Because it does not appeal tome much does not mean it isn't good. One man's meat is another man's poison.

He doesn't chase fame like Davido or Wizkid. Fame seems to come to him.

His pride will be his undoing. He needs to repair any damage done asap by that concert gaffe where he walked out a fan who sleeping.

That employee will one day be an employer. And whatever he sowed he shall reap.
I have an inlaw who reportedly stole large amounts of money from his boss. The money might have contributed to the downfall of that business.

My inlaw started his own business and it did not fare well. Eventually he was cashstrapped and bankrupt.

lipsrsealed The worst mistake you will ever make as a man is to place your business under the total care of a woman angry If not that I quickly retraced my steps back on time and collected my business back with style,by now,I for don run mad angry.

To think that the female thief will still be collecting salary by the end of every month after siphoning all these money is even more evil angry

I know of bosses who were scared of employing sales boys , thinking they'd steal from the company. They instead employed sales girls, mistaking their soft nature's as a sign of gentility, only for the sales girls to turn out to be Scorpion queens and iron monkeys,stole and even made the bosses bankrupt to the extent of relocating back to their home towns angry
Thats why i shy away from engaging in starting any business that gives room to an employee having access to cash. Thwy will ruin you.

They have no mercy.

Politics › Re: Nigeria Loses ₦1.76 Trillion After Missing OPEC Quota by grandstar(m): 6:50pm On Feb 18
Psalmistproject:
Hehehe.. They are happy to be missing their quota from now to after the next presidential election. For those that doesn't know, anything missing is stolen. So they drill and divert and report less while millions of barrels are stolen and sold illegally. All is to amass funds for the coming election. And the government of the day is the chief culprit.
On such a scale? Wby havent pwople cried out?

A theft of such scale would have grabbed attention. You cant just hide.

Thw truth is known but also hard to reconcile: that onshore production is fraught with all such as dangers suxh as theft, militancy, kidnappings and so on, that only a few brave souls can take the risk of investing there.

The country is lawless. Something as simple as drilling for crude oil is now almost impossible speaks volumes.
Politics › Re: Nigeria Loses ₦1.76 Trillion After Missing OPEC Quota by grandstar(m): 7:40am On Feb 18
The country needs to produce a minimum of 2mbpd .

Why is the country producing a meagre 1.5m per day? The quota is poor.

It will take yeaes to put things in order!

By then, the Naira will drop to $1 - N3,500 because of the fuel subsidy
Politics › Re: Tinubu Unveils Nigeria Industrial Policy 2025 by grandstar(m): 7:25pm On Feb 17
OredoPikin2:
why not do all that before removing fuel subsidy?
light - we nor get
fuel - we cant afford
solar - not for poor man
The fuel subsidy should have been removed as far back as the 1980s. It came decades late.

There waa no option but to remove. Dont forger it took about a year until it waa fully removed.

In 2022, the government revenue waa 5tr. Subsidy cost 5tr. The nation resorted to ways and means- this is asking the central bank to print money to lend to the federal government. All the government revenue was taken up by subsidy payment

Light will not come overnight. The government needs to increase the transmission capacity of power sectoe so it can move wholesale all the electricity the Genco produces to the Discos.

By 2028, if the transmission capacity has been increased, light should be more stable. Also, all remaining electrical subsidies will be removed. We will all bw on Band A

Lol... where is the strategy drive or infrastructural base for industries to thrive?
A lot of the money being borrowed is to build infrastructure.

A lot of money is being spent to inctease the transmission capacity of PHCN. Currently there is insufficient capacity to move all the power being generated from the Gencos to the Discos who deal with the retail end- poeer to the end users.

Dude ran for office without any vision and action plan for local industrialization. Having used scarce forex flying around the world begging for FDI, he has decided to send his VP to launch an Nigeria’s Industrial Policy.

The interesting thing is If he personally travelled to watch Argungu fishing festival but delegated the launch of Nigeria’s Industrial Policy. It tells you how important he considers the content of that policy document.

I am shaking my head.

To say he didnt have a plan is disingenious.

Hasnt Charles Soludo, Lamido Sanusi, Okonji Iweala and others not praised his economic reforms?

If the objective is truly about protecting children, then why not propose a law that prohibits the sale of alcohol to anyone under the age of 18, with strict penalties for those who violate it? huh
It won't work. People will find a way to evade it.

In the UK and US where they have a minimum age limit for alcohol purchase, they also have very high child drunkenness problems.

Hello everyone, Lemme go straight to the point.


My junior brother wants to travel to another country ( Kuwait and oman in particular) of which I will sponsor everything but I have told him to change to his mind on the country he's choosed but he's not. He said he wants to start from somewhere before moving to Europe after some years I tried to change his mind to move to another country but he seems to have made up his mind.

I need your suggestions before i send the money to process the visa to the agent that will do it.

What do you guys think? Is it a good country to start hustling ?

Thanks
Both countries are not good. The pay in most Gulf states are poor compared to Europe or the US.

The best advice is for him to research the salaries of workers.

He won't get a white collar job, only blue collar and they don't pay well.

Why not expend your money on him learning an IT program?

For instance you said you picked a phone from where? In a bus, on the road, charging house, church where exactly do you pick up the phone?
Does that matter?

What matters is that he choose to do the responsible thing and return the phone to the owner.

The truth is that the vast majority of phone owners are happy when tbey retrieve their phones. Its the wicked and ungrateful ones that usually cause a storm, and one reason is because most of them would probably never return anyones phone.
