Farouk Ahmed should have been suspended by now, even if just to allow for an uninterrupted investigation.

Such brazen display of the proceeds of public funds is shocking.

If he had done the most Nigerian thing by sending only his kids to foreign universities, eyebrows wouldn't have been raised so high .

I suspect nothing will happen to him eventually like most others.

10/50 not bad or excellent?

Very good.. Excellent

Widows have the right to remarry. Death of their spouse ends the marriage. If she remarries, she does not sin.

But in a misogynistic Nigeria, she would be demonized but will be okay if she dates men secretly.

People love to believe what they want to believe.

Babangida era was better by all indices.

In 1991, minimum wage was was double to N250 a month. Then 50k was the price of a wrap of eba or a piece of meat. That could buy you 500 wraps of eba, which would be about N50,000 today. The last time it was increased was in 1981 when it was fixed at 125.

However, the Naira fell from around $1- N11 in early 1991 to around N20 at the black market by early April 1992. The following year, 1993, it fell again to N37.5.

The day he stepped aside, I was around CMS, by that building that has Tantalizers. I asked a Hausa exchange trader the rate and he told me N37.5.

Inflation during Babangida's time was crazy. They resorted to Ways and Means to finance the budget. All they knew how to do was loot.

Hehehehe..... Normal level. Dem even hide am for you to see.

When you hire caterers, it's inevitable that they will take food, you just have to let them know that this is what you're targeting as output, then they can take the rest - but anything less than the expected output, you'll not pay them.

Then have a trusted family member assist them, so that one fit dey put eyes for their body.

But, it's unlikely that the caterers hid that food - caterers no dey hide food to be forgotten - they must carry am. Maybe na your own people run you street.

It is her greedy people wey do am.

modath:
Aregbe will understand soon that his "authority and clout" is linked directly to Tinubu.
On his own, he's a NONENTITY

The truth is that Aregbesola does not understand Tinubu.

I am not saying he should like Tinubu. Many who are with Tinubu today aren't too happy with him but they never left.

Fayemi from his utterances seems pissed that Tinubu frustrated Jonathan's effort to remove the fuel subsidy in 2012. He even said the last time Nigeria had sound economic policies before the present government was during the GEJ presidency.

He probably feels Tinubu betrayed the masses to get the presidency. This obviously seemed to have pricked his conscience. Nevertheless, he still stayed on.

Fashola, who had fallen out with Tinubu in the past seems to have reconciled with the president way before now. The role Fashola played during EndSARS riots was indicative of it.

LagosOrigin:
Buhari shielded corruption probably because he largely benefited from it .

I doubt he benefited from it.

Buhari had one basic flaw: he lacked the intellectual capacity to run the country as a person.

It was this lack that led to disastrous decisions and policies.

When people kept demanding his certificate, this was what they were "subtly" referring to.

His policies, rather than fight corruption, created new ones, some gargatuam, like the roundtripping of foreign exchange due to his introduction of rigid exchange rates that did not rfeflect market realities. In those days, those who had access to exchange rate at official rates became billionaires overnight. Some of the best connected naturally, were his family.

The 15% import duty is Tinubus turf. Tinubu has the final say on it, and I suspected he chose to side not with the oil importers but with the masses.

15% import would completely kill all competition and make Dangote a monopoly, and with it, an ability to set prices.

MemphitzDgreat1:
Babangida era is a trillion times better than this nonsense Republic we currently have

I doubt it very much you experienced that era

The useless Babangida years.
It was a kleptocracy and nothing else.

Ewedegubbler:
you missed it, LARRY PAGE and steve balmer are both jewish

Larry Page is Jewish from his mother's side but he wasn't raised Jewish.

That was why I excluded him. I didn't know of Steve Balmer.

I probably glossed over him as he never really identified as such. I prefer a person where both parents were either Jewish or who identified as such despite one of their parents being Jewish.

Thanks a lot. I am adding Steve Balmer.

Out of the top 10, 3 are Jewish. Larry Page is Jewish from his mothers side and does not identify as such.

Edit: I am adding Steve Balmer to the list. That increases the number in the top 10 to 4.

They've omitted my name again. I'm just fed up!

He would need some time to readjust. 6 years no be beans at all

..And that's six years of eating presidential baked beans.

The rich should be incentivized to donate to hunab right organizations who work with lawyers to free such ones.

"We wanted justice, they gave us the rule of law."

No wonder the DRC still remians backward: they don't accept dual nationality.

Nigeria scrapped that rule around 1992.

Germany might still have it but it has denied the country of fielding some of the best football talent in the country because they refused to renounced the citizenship of the parent's country. Mezut Ozil had to drop his Turkish citizenship to play for Germany.

Truths9ja:
He will soon reach $1tr benchmark

I thought he was finished due to his association with DOGE and Trump.

First, I thought he was finished due to public apathy to him due to DOGE and Trump. But alas, he wasn't.

Next, I thought he would be finished as Trump would try and destroy him due to their fall out. For instance, Trump ended subsidies to electric vehicles. That would have been a blow to Tesla.

Alas,no! He is back stronger than ever. He needs to be studied.

esnbrutality:
See Audacity...

RONU-bandits can't link this to Peter Obi...

Thread is definitely dry.

I don't know why one is tribalising this issue.

Dangote and Faroud are both Northerners, probably Hausa. This even noble in itself.

I don't understand why the petty behavior by some.

Under Joanthan, Diezeni Madueke chopped over $1bn. One of her underlings bought a private yacht worth around $50m for himself.

Jonathan's government was of the most corrupt ever.

The amount is impressive.

If non-oil exports can continue increasing at a 20% rate yearly, it would hit 24tr by 2028, and 48tr by 2032.

South Korea saw exports rising at a 40% rate yearly from 1962-1972, all were non-oil exports.

Non-oil growth must have been much larger hn Nigeria considering a lot of it is unrecorded. Nigerias exports to neighbouring countries, most especially those using the CFA, would have galloped, as the Naira fell against it.

Hundreds of thousands depend on this business for survival. This is crucial considering how the economy is faring.

This is not the time to destroy the livelihood of so many

P1PrinceKT:
This has do to with JuJu someone was behind this act to collect ladan's throat, may be politicians.

The assailant must have planned this for sometime. It wasn't a one day job.

The killing of the criminal has buried what was behind the murder.

His competitors are purchasing cut throat fuel from Russia.

The competition isn't fair. I would suggest a tariff of about 3%.

HitTheFloor:
I don't want to go through the stress of running a business, paying staff, rent and other overhead expenses.

Why do you say "interest is evil"?

Please ignore what he said.

That verse was refering to lending money to someone in need. It isn't the time to take advantage of such a person.

However, if it is for commercial purposes, that is a different matter.

ahmedio2017:
“Lend, expecting nothing in return” (Luke 6:34–35)

This is lending to someone in need.

However, it changes when you're lending for business purposes.

SixSeven:
The African mind is so enslaved, it leaves the issues at home and goes to look for validation abroad. Charity begins at home. This reminds me of the time when there were shootings in France and my people were changing their profile pictures to 'stand with France' but when France won the world cup with your brothers, they reminded you that they were French.

It is how some people take sides with Iran and they live in Kaduna or how someone in Aba is taking side with Israel. You think it's just Muslims? No. Nigerians have lost their culture. They don't know who they are, this is why they try to attach themselves to what gives them meaning.

Lose your culture and history, lose your identity. It's okay to be on the side of the oppressed in Palestine but bro, have you asked your brothers what's up with Nigeria? Religion is another tool we have left in the hand of opportunists to create division amongst our people.

While religion has had positive influences, it has also been exploited to manipulate, control, and undermine rational thinking. I have no problem with religion but I will advise you spend more time learning about your roots. You will be empowered and free minded they day you start that.

Is it wise to simply follow the religion you were born to without asking questions?

I chose to become a Christian because it provides accurate answers regarding the celestial, and the things unseen, about the afterlife.

The Bible says "God dwells above circle of the Earth" (Read Isaiah 40:22). How did the Bible know the Earth was around over 2,500 years ago?

The Bible says, "God hangs the earth upon nothing" (Read Job 26:7). How did the Bible know the earth hangs upon nothing over 3,000 years ago.

It is such and many more than convinces me that Christianity is the true religion. I am refering to true Christianity, and not the counterfeit form prevalent today, where either where the blind lead the blind, or oppressive wolves who serve as the clergy, fleece their congregants.

CyynthiaKiss:
All thanks to Ishaq Akintola and Yoruba Muslims, they made it possible..

He told Yoruba Christians to mind their business..


When I started enlightening Yoruba Christians on this forum 7 years ago, telling them to wake up that their is a great danger ahead of us, I was insulted and bullied,, Infact, I was called IPOB..

Is well !

You ignorant lot will never learn. You can't divide Yoruba's based on religion. You'll see an alfa drinking alcohol and a hijab wearing woman selling sachet spirits of all types.

If Peter Obi won that election, then OBJ is now the mayor of London.

Even Atiku beat am

99.9% of Nigerian politicians should be behind bars because of corruption.

So, when one, with a puny amount involved is prosecuted, you just wonder what is really going down..

Gotocourt:
Wetin concern baddie with Papa stroke , make him stroke himself their

Yes, wetin consign fish with raincoat? I am certain she is also spoilt.

Her papa go just complain taya

Do you know what I find shocking?

That despite his misadventure with DOGE and Trump, it didn't slow his meteoruc rise.

I thought he was finished. He almost seems unstoppable.

By this time next year, he'll probably be worth at least $800bn. This would be double his networth earlier this year.

Thumbs up. He can't still take it all with him when he dies.
