IGBOPROMISE1:
You guys are always predictable in your attempts to blame the victim instead of the oppressor!
This isn't about blaming the victim. Whatever way you want to agitate, don't encourage the spilling of blood.

Was sit-at-home Mondays fair on the Igbos? It was insensitive, but speaks of the length they are prepared to go, even trample on the livelihood of the very people they are trying to help.

Nnamdi Kanu, a man fanning the flames of violence.

He could burn the entire country down over nothing.

It is not like the Igbos aren't doing well in Nigeria.

They are probably the richest tribe in the country and they thrive in anywhere they are.

Yes, things may not be perfect, but it does not justify the excessive violence he was fanning.

Lamba from Baba again. Baba weh deh look for someone who is weak and can easily be controlled and Yaradua was a perfect fit for that hence he settled for him. Baba no say El-rufai can't be controlled like that, reason why he did not back him.
Don't forget that in terms of corruption, YaraDua was clean by Nigeria's standards.

I suspect that was the real reason. He did not want someone very corrupt to take over.

And you believed that finance Minister that speaks from both sides of his mouth?

The aso rock bandit does not need any rules to get money, he phones the CBN governor to bring it in. Ways and means is still active till tomorrow.
Ways and Means is like smoke. You can not hide it.

The Nairas stability over the last one year is an indication of that.

Ways and means would lead to an increase I money supply which would lead to a depreciation of the Naira.

The economic literates have put the economy in the worst shape since independence.

Surprisingly, there are no external factors influencing this state. It’s all caused by their own economic “literacy”.

Arrogant set of people who won’t accept that they’ve failed even when they know they’re failures.
Buhari was the economic illiterate that ruined the economy. Buhari started by dictating exchange rate policies, overturning the one that had served the economy so well since 2006 or so.

The destruction started by June 2015. Prominent economists such as Soludo, Utomi and Sanusi condemned the economic policies. Sanusi, especially, was unrelenting in condemning them.

That should have been when everyone should have been making noise and not now. Imagine 8 years of destruction? Reforms commenced 8 years late. A stitch in time saves 9. Repair work in this case commenced at 10.

As usual, they hate truth.

Nigeria's debt profile is way out of comprehension. The urban bandit have abused the ways and means in two years far worse than what the incognitive bubu did.

It's sad to see young people waste away on social media just defending stack failure.
The finance minister said they stopped using Ways and means over a year ago. They inherited a huge unpardonable mess.
Politics › Re: Oseni Rufai Replies To Bayo Onanuga Calling Him "Economic Illiterate" by grandstar(m): 9:41pm On Oct 24, 2025
I will be honest, there is a lot of economic illiteracy. That's the root of people blaming the IMF and the World Bank for the painful reforms their economies and ignore the disastrous state those economies were in.

However, there is nothing wrong with borrowing as long as it is prudent.

Borrowing now is far morfe sustainable than before. The economy is growing, government revenue is rising very fast, and the means to service new borrowing exist.

Nevertheless, because you can afford to service a debt does not mean it should be taken.

This issue must be handled with tact, before a new religion fueled insurgency is borne.

Nigeria dodged a bullet with Sharia, and Bakassi. They could have birthed long term wars.

OBJ also ignored Boko Haram. They said they had no problem when he was on ground.

Some issues are best ignored. If I was heavily loaded, I won't mind providing the man like 50m to go sin no more.

I narrowly escaped from the hands of the ipob that came to burn Tinubu TVC in ketu Lagos in during Endsars.

I left ketu for Ikeja to catch a flight back to Abuja. They came to burn the TV station just about 20 minutes I left the bus stop.

I'm sure if kanu knew that a day like this would come, he would not have ordered his boys to burn brt buses and Tinubu TVC.
It is an extremely violent organisation.

The "stay at home" Monday just showed you how they operated. This was cruel for the industrious Igbos. The morning shows the day.

He wants people to die for a cause, and he is wearing Fendi, and womanising.

Romance › Re: Between Nigerian Women And Arabian Women Which Do You Prefer (PHOTOS) by grandstar(m): 1:10pm On Oct 24, 2025
I wish there was truly an Arabian woman!

The Arabs of North Africa aren't real Arabs. The are Arabized Berbers. Many don't share any DNA with Gulf Arabs. Zinedine Zidane is a Berber and not Arabized.

Sudanese Arabs are Arabized blacks.

Even Lebanese, Palestinians and part of Jordan are not considered pure Arabs. So many races went through their areas and there were lots of intra racial marriages and kids.

The ones considered pure Arabs are the Saudi's, Yemeni's, Omani's Kuwaiti's, Bahraini's and Emirati's. Even they may not be that pure.

It is believed by some that the the Saud family who today rule Saudi Arabia originated from Turkey.

Properties › Re: Reps Propose 20% Cap On Rent Increases Across Nigeria To Protect Tenants by grandstar(m): 12:12pm On Oct 24, 2025
Rent control policies do not work. They are counterproductive, just like another of its siblings, fuel subsidies.

It leads to underinvestment in property development, and aggravates scarcity.

Why would a sitting tenant want to move when he is paying very low for rent? He would have no incentive to build a house.

The landlord would have no incentive to maintain his property.

Such an inheritance could set him up for life if prudently managed.

This is why I keep telling my fellow men never to date single mothers. Her child will never appreciate anything you do for them and the mother will not allow you discipline the child as well.

Single mums are a huge baggage every right thinking man should avoid.
What of single dads- should right thinking women also avoid them?

Do you know what these 2 men have in common- Jeff Bezos and Saquille O'neil.

They were both raised by stepfathers, and they have fantastic relations with them

Shaquilee only discovered as a teenager that his stepfather wasn't his biological parent.

Jeff Bezos adopted his stepfather's name. I am sure O'niel too bares his stepdads surname.

Please stop demonizing all single mothers, and what about their dads?

I am a firm supporter of the free market.

Let global best practices dictate things, and not armtwist foreign firms to set up subsidiaries here.

If there are opportunities, Nigerians should set up companies to exploit them, and many are already doing so such as Flutterwave.

Many of these Nigerian founded Co.panies are still domiciled abroad as the country lacks the brand name and venture capital to make them thrive

I thought Boko haram has been defeated and are repentant
They were never defeated. They can at best be contained. The US couldn't even contain the Taliban.

A guerilla war is very hard to fight, especially if the insurgents have escape routes, and these guys have several.

The government cam however do more. I feel they may require outside help like foreign military contractors such as "Executive Outcomes."

They were the guys Jonathan used to route Boko Haram in 2015, and the fighting soldiers spoke well of them.

The military would also require sone high tech weapons such as guided missiles, or advanced drones to frustrate these opportunistic attacks.

This is the 21st century, and you can't defeat guys on bikes?
Politics › Re: Armed Bandits In Northern Nigeria Holds Victory Parade , Carve Out Own Territory by grandstar(m): 1:10pm On Oct 23, 2025

AI Overview

Northern Nigeria's refusal to adopt a free education policy was primarily based on concerns that it would disrupt the traditional economy and divert children from agricultural labor. This rejection was rooted in the belief that the policy was detrimental to family and community roles, as the children were needed to help their parents in the fields.
Economic concerns: Leaders in the North reportedly viewed free education as a way to take children away from the important work of farming, which was central to the economy.
Societal impact: The policy was seen as disrupting the traditional family structure by removing children from their roles as farm assistants.
Underlying logic: The rejection was not a rejection of education itself, but of the specific free education policy proposed by Awolowo, which was seen as incompatible with the prevailing economic and social realities in the Northern Region at the time.

Present reality is the outcome of past rejection angry
The core North's refusal to embrace Western Education is based on an hatred of it due to religion. They feel Islamic education is sufficient and Western Education is evil and Western or unislamic. It all boils down to religion.
