This is the truth: anyone who is duped by purchasing this phone is at fault

You might ask why? If 100m enter their bank account, they will head to Slot or even the Apple store at Shoprite Ikeja to buy original.

Solcampbell:
They aren't a poor family, sir. Her father-in-law was a former national chairman of the PDP during GEJ regime.

Its sad anyway you look at it.

Maxymilliano:
Having her pardoned outrightly is a grave injustice to the family of the deceased.

May it not become a tooth for a tooth, particularly the murder cases incidents because If the aggrieved family or complainant are not properly healed, they could resort to self help..

Perhaps, Tinubu can compensate the family of the victim with a large cash sum e.g N100m.

That woman should never have been released.

It could either have been reduced to life or a very lengthy sentence.

I hope China is financing the project at low interest rates.

How many US visitors overstay and start working at the McDonalds in Bamako? I jst remebered it has no McDonalds.

Is this a joke?

One thing can sure, Tinubu wants to use this project to win votes.

If he can achieve this project in 4 years, people will believe he can do anything.

It is projects like these that Tinubu wants to sway the masses to vpote for him.

Alliswell248:
Always certain in spewing misinformation.
Tinubu is loyal to everyone.

You're a joker.

If you know his antecedents in Lagos, you know he is just using Wike for now.

Tinubu always works with technocrats, the best technocrats available.

Wike and many others do not fall into this category.

Usually for most presidents, they have political debts to settle. In their second terms, since they have paid off those debts, they free themselves from these leeches. I can see Tinubu doint that, for most of them.

Tinubu always works with technocrats. The lack of many of them as ministers is the price he has to pay.

However, the minister of finance is a technocrat, and he is achieving great results.

omohayek:
Sadly, real-life burdens have made it a lot harder for me to justify wasting time on Nairaland ...

Sorry to hear this.

Please take it easy.

Greetings to your family and friends.

Tinubu needs Wike for now. He will look the other way for now.

During his second term, he will rid himself of Wike and find a technocrat to manage the city

Tinubu is ready to pay any price for what he wants. I am certain he doesn't like Wike, but just bearing his presence.

This is a. minister that uses aRose Roise as his official car. Only power hungry dictators behave like that.

I'm so happy for them.

Burna is no.1

It is amazing how the international community idolise him.

He is their favorite artist for many.

Getting a replacement may be very had.

The future is very unpredictable.(Read Ecclesiastes 9:11,12)

Immatex:
Good thing this complaint is not coming from an Igbo person so that Yorubas won’t insult Igbo even in the face of glaring truth.

Tinubu and the Lagos State Government have displayed the highest levels of nepotism and bigotry ever openly showed.

Lagos under these heartless people have become the height of a growing urban displacement, where government approves land surveys and building permits only to turn around and have the buildings of 90% residents of Igbo extraction demolished with no compensation, compassion or iota of sympathy in a country they are citizens of. This Governor will be remembered for his smiling wickedness!

It will only get worse. Tinubu will be more nepotistic and racist with his decisions favouring his Yoruba tribe more and more.

He is confident of victory at the polls because votes will not count as voted!

Tinubu is not just counting on votes. He also wants his works to speak for him.

I suspect that he is why went on a borrowing spree. The Calabar Highway project if completed on time will be a game changer.

I travelled recently and found out that a lot of infrastructure work is going on all over the country. This may win him lots of votes. It did for Buhari.

He has tamed the Niger Delta to an extent, and I suspect he may also be having some success with the bandits. I suspect they are being pushed out from where they were formerly based and fleeing to new areas such as Kwara state .

Let;s be honest, what has the North done to deserve such a high quota?

They don't go to school, but feel entitle to lots of government jobs. If merit was the standard, they'd be at the very bottom.

I am from Ondo state, and when I sat for my Poly JAMB, I was advised not to apply for Yabatech because I was from Ondo. Then, Ondo state had the highest cutoff mark. Interestingly, I passed but eventually went to UNILAG as I was on the supplementary list.

I later found out that a classmate of mine in UNILAG from Enugu who scored less me was on the first list. Life sucks.

madridguy:
I am very sure President Tinubu didn't go through the list before granting majority of them presidential pardon.

Many of the victims families will feel so bad about the action of the president.

He might have gone through. He also has well qualifies technocrats.

He alone and a few others k ow why he pardoned drug dealers, a murderer and kidnappers.

For drugs, sending someone to prison for selling Indian hemp is wrong. Even in US, some cops just look the other way if weed is the drug in question.

CoronaVirusPro:
Can someone please educate Atiku about democracy and the reach and limits of presidential pardon?

His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) has the constitutional right to pardon anybody HE deems fit.

That is how it is done in democracy.

Atiku should desist from raising dust when there is no fight. The baseless antics to seek attention is gradually constituting nuisance.

He might have perogative but it must not be abused.

The man must be Igbo.

Hhh4444:
Even if I'm saving 2million monthly,I will still travel. When Nigeria happens to you,that money will not be able to save you.

By your statement, I know you've travelled overseas.

They right. The market will recover. This is simply an overreaction to Trump's. Eventually, Trump and zxi zXinping will inevitable an agreement.⁰

I suspect the bandits after being dislodged from an area now move to new areas.

The government must work to ensure this does not happen. They must be stopped.

Reference:
But is Lagos atate getting out of debt trap, yes or no. And please, a 4 percent growth minis a 25 rate of inflation is a -21 peecwnt year on shrink in the economy or deficits which will need to bw filled with new credits.

Getting inflation down to single dgits is the key to any visible economic recovery. It is the single sole task any serious government should pursue.

The economic growth takes into account inflation..

It is the net economic growth is when you deduct the population growth. rate.

Getting inflation down to single isn't the key to economic growth. An economic can still growth despite double digit inflation rate. Chile was growing fast despite double digit inflation in the 1980s. China was still growing fast I'm the 1980s despite high inflation as well.

This government isn't keen on fighting inflation because it could slow down the economy.

Reference:
Na waoh.

Did you just say that government should continue to borrow until 'debt servicing consumes less....less.

Tell me what hocus pocus will square that financial circle.

Look fellas. There is no alternative to a well run economy. Take that to the bank. Because there is no other source of stress free adventurerrevenue stream to the country other than taxation. It is the only way, the only way, the only way (three times for emphasis), to get out of the debt trap.

Unfortunately for this government it cannot leverage on the golden egg because it has failed to care for the goose. As a matter of fact it has long eaten it up.

A government that is making life miserable for the producer, the entrepreneur, the adventurer or investor. A government that rather expends the largest sum, the largest single capital vote on a single company building a highway, a contractor for that matter, not even an industrial concern (that can continue to generate revenue for years to come) in my opinion has surrendered to the debt trap.

They simply don't believe Nigeria can get out of it.

Why did the government bring in a new tax law if they had no intention of raising revenue?

You have forgotten that Lagos state IGR is the largest in the country. This year, due to improved revenue collection, gocernment claimed it achieved its revenue targets by August. This is despite a fall in crude oil prices.

Tinubu has always believe in taxation. The government $2bn loan from the World Bank to increase tax collection by 3% of GDP. From what I see Tinubu is aiming to reach at least 6-8% instead.

So, your belief that this government has no aim to improve tax revenue is rather strange.

Things may be hard for now, but he inherited an economy in tatters. But eminent economists and the two Bretton Wood sisters have praised the reforms, and states the economy is stabilising.

Economic growth rate is beginning to rise, and it's now at 4% The government is targeting 10%.

What are you doing with seven children?

I am certain your landlord who owns the house does not have that many.

malali:
Oil prices would not rise anytime soon. Dont forget the world is still fighting Iran and Russia. Increased oil prices would fund their budget. There want to starve them of funds, vis a vis sanctions and very low oil prices !!
Not necessarily my principle, i praise and criticize with equal vigor....BTW Angwan Rimi would be a better name

The real reason why oil prices are low or coming down is because of the declining US economy, which will reduce demand for petroleum products.

Likewise, a weak American economy will also drive down growth in other economies, which will also shrink demand for crude oil.

China in the past could have assisted by forcing its banks to lend .massive amounts of money to left up its economy and the world as it did in 2010, but China is swimming in too much debt, that it's avoiding doing the same now.

malali:
Nigeria’s public debt-to-GDP ratio reportedly dropped to 39.4% in Q1 2025 after the NBS “rebased” the GDP, supposedly reflecting stronger non-oil growth.
But that’s puzzling, crude prices are down, budget deficits are widening, and Tinubu’s government is borrowing more than ever.
If GDP has truly grown beyond the subsidy era, why are we still financing gaps with new debt?
It feels less like economic growth and more like statistical cosmetics, voodoo economics dressed up as data.

When Tinubu took office, 97% of government revenue was going towards debt servicing. Contrast this with the 26% Buhari met.

To better grasp the severity of the issue, imagine your salary is 10m a month, and after settling debt, you are left with 300k.

Debt servicing now takes up less than half revenue. The government will need to keep borrowing foe some time, until debt servicing consumes less than 20% of gocernment revenue

In addition, the present borrowing is more sustainable now than under Buhari.

We also need to define the size of borrowing in "real terms.

If a government borrowed N2trillion in 2015 when the exchange rate was $1- N200, that was $10bn.

What if the govement borrows 6 trillion today at an exchange rate of $1- N1,500 and you get $4bn.

Why is this so? This is because the money in circulation is much larger today.

Then, it might have been 10 trillion in 2015, today it is 100 trillion.

I simply used exchange rates to explain things.

DomPerignon:
The Asagba of Asaba is demanding an apology from the FG and Nigerians as a whole for the so-called Aqaba Massacre.

I won't go into details on why I do not believe there was anything as such that occurred. I will reserve my own understanding of what truly transpired later in this thread.

But what was obviously clear to non IBO people of the then Midwestern region was how Midwestern Ibos collaborated with Biafran troops in invading and occupying the Midwest.

During the occupation a lot of atrocities and war crimes were carried out by Biafran soldiers on non Ibo Midwesterners with active connivance of both Ibo civilians residing in the Midwest and majority of Midwestern Ibos.

An underground resistance movement was quickly formed by non Ibo Midwesterners during the brief occupation in response to the occupation of their homeland and atrocities committed by Biafran forces and their civilian supporters.

In Biafra proper, ethnic minorities trapped in the hell hole were undergoing a slow genocide with Biafran and IBO civilians harassing and murdering minorities. Entire coastal communities were forcibly evacuated on the direct orders of ojukwu and marched into Iboland never go be seen again.

All manner of crimes against humanity were being perpetuated on the hapless minority people. Mass rapes, tortures and mass killings were the norm. Cannibalism was openly practiced by the occupying force.

At no time have the Ibos ever attempts to apologise for their war crimes that was what led to the whole abandoned property saga after the coastal enclaves were liberated.

Any attempt to remind the world of what the ethnic minorities went through both in Biafra and occupied Midwest is always met by a deluge of insults andthreats from Ibos .

What I don't understand about the Ibos in delta north is why did they not demand during the clamour for the creation of Midwest to be joined to the old Eastern region? They had another opportunity to join the SE when Delta state was being created but they insisted on remaining with people that say now are strangers.

Now that Anioma state is being tabled, it should be a matter of no debate that the future Anioma be joined to the SE.

Anioma people will tell you that they are not Igbos, though, though Igbo speaking.

It is like calling an American a Cnandian, or an Aussie a Brit.

Or calling a Swiss German, an Austrian , or a German. Though they speaking the same language, they are different.

Same with Ikwerre which you are familiar with. Though they are Igbo speaking, they insist they aren't Igbo. Same as the people of Opobo.

It isn't tax clearance.

Rather, it will be a tax identity number. If you don't have one, you can't operate a bank account or open a new one.

This is to ensure that Nigerians start paying taxes.

He might have stepped foot inside Nigeria.

He is a Briton as someone said of Nigerian ancestry. Na there dey born, na there he grow.
