I no understand

I find this grossly unfair. The is a private business and customers who cannot afford the subscription are free to downgrade or leave.

Premier league and other TV rights are very expensive. Nigerian TV companies don’t have these rights because they can’t afford to pay. If you doubt this, go and ask the late HiTV

First sensible comment.
Good one.

Private business for that matter.
What is it that has not more than doubled in price for the past 365 days.
Why is PHCN increasing tariff on darkness,for instance?

Absurd...

As if not enough

Beremx:
Nigeria has turned from bleeding to suffering from anaemia.
Tinubu's aides should be telling him the truth. He's far from reality and thinks he's still Lagos state governor.

He's not far from reality.
He and may be 99% of politicians in nigeria live to lie and lie in order to live. They are so shielded from what is happening across the country, they just choose to live in denials.
They are lie merchants

Let's flip it around.
If BAT didn't become the president, would his Batists be sleeping by now or calling people names?

Online is filled with many fans and fanatics belonging to different camps.
Jonathan was trolled like less than human.

APC did this same to topple Jonathan.
Before you cast a stone, weigh how holy you are. Like they say, "nobody holy pass"

You guys want the youths to rest when they belong to the largest population block? They are the ones most active online, and even with that, does that even mean everyone who believes in Obi trolls?

Exactly.
FCT is the whole of Nigeria.

Whatsoever happens to the rest of the country...

Naira may hit 2500naira/dollar by next week
No production, no exportation
How do u want to strenghten your currency when all u do is borrow without significant exportation?

They even want to borrow the future in the name of pensioners money.
You have said it all, wanting naira to be strengthened with production and exportation is simply voodoo economy.
Is it only naira currency that's on those platforms? Why always naira?
Insecurity has driven off many viable investors.
They keep on chasing after shadow

Case of making lemonade out of lemon

The first term you guys are doing doesn't have bearing yet, you are already dancing for next election

Nigeria may never be better with this thinking and tendencies abetting the criminally inclined

babzo:
. Is LCD a place?

Lol not a place o,
LCD was a Christian dance group back in the days

LagosFirstSon:
Which Reno

This Reno?

Soon, Nigerians would stop taking Reno serious.

Many have already stopped taking him serious.
His own Messiah called Atiku doesn't have a fraction of integrity Peter Obi has. What OBJ said about Atiku can't be totally erased, it is the same Atiku that this Mockery lines up behind.
What he's doing to Obi is personal. Obi isn't a saint, which public holder never had critics? Even Lincoln had so many, and on top of it all, Abe Lincoln was still assassinated despite being rated as one of the finest of POTUS.
Possibly Obi never gave him money to back him or he is being paid to attack Obi purposely... All the same, he is worse than a toothless bulldog.
Obi is never a saint, but his record in public offices will make Mockery's principal become green with envy.

yarimo:
Mr EFCC chairman please resign immediately, it's clear you don't know anything about the court and your job

And he is said to be a lawyer of more than 20 years...

Lawyer must eat...

The actual imperial, colonial ones
Ruling by proxy.

They won't suggest any policy that doesn't help they themselves.

The salient question is, why increasing tariff for darkness?
On here, darkness is even costly! Weird!

FreeStuffsNG:
HE Yahaya Bello should come out of hiding. This is below him . Haba!!

"HE"?
"His Excellency" for a thieving rogue... Jokes on you.
There is not extent you can't go with bootlicking.

If he is honourable, he wouldn't go about stealing state money in the first place. Dishonourable people occupying honourable seats.

I bet your lots would come out to say until "proven guilty" about him.

Tueh!

babzo:
This is serious. One of these 4 things must be happening:

1) Tinubu is really determined to change Nigeria for the better and is ready to fight corruption, which means he himself is cleaning up and is giving EFCC free hands. Meaning others should be ready for what's up.

2) Tinubu has not forgiven Yahaya for contesting against him..

3) This is all much ado about nothing and Yahaya didn't get the memo and is unnecessarily afraid. He's simply supposed to surrender, get interviewed /detained by the EFCC for 1 day and the case will drag on for the next 15 years.

4) Yahaya has seriously offended some powers that be and Tinubu's hands are tied.

Apt!!
You know Nigeria very well.

Babzo... Your moniker sounds familiar though.
Babzo of LCD?

nedu666:
Unfortunately for sowore, this pepper grinding borehole is common everywhere in Nigeria. Its not the kind of borehole that matters but the depth and ability to provide clean water. I did nysc in Ogun state, this borehole is common and it provides clean water so kini big deal

If that Sowore becomes anything near power, no evidence that he will do better.
Be wary of someone who only sees wrongs.
Is Obi in government presently? What is the governor, the councilor of those places doing without providing water for their people?

How much relief has he brought to people personally from his own money except for only publishing criticism? He was once a presidential candidate, and his own party lamented that he stole the party's money.

CCIA:
When you borrow sense next, i may indulge you.

mud for brains

You are so stewpid, that you should be crowned for slowness

You came to mention and quote my words, were you drunk on horses' piss at that time?
Your brain must have escaped you when you did that.

mightyhazel:
how many kilometers can u swim ? How many hours can u swim? How powerful are u to beat the steady strong currents

It is not really about swimming for kilometers, it is mostly about staying afloat first. Staying afloat is a skill beside swimming.
If they stay afloat, help can come to them

obinna58:
All these popular people doesn’t know how to swim or what exactly?

That's one of the areas among many others where the West is ahead of many Africans.
They learn swimming right from when they are children. Swimming is a skill which is supposed to be learned as early as possible.

CCIA:
Blame your fellow greedy Nigerians, not the government.

lean witted member of the sheeple.

You have contradicted yourself in one sweep.

Old stocks finishing,
Your greedy Nigerians are responsible...

Your IQ is that low? Must really be hard for you to cope being less than the average of the average.
But no sorry, just avoid discussion above your wits.
You should be okay, may be.

CCIA:
When old stock is no more.


I install sense at an affordable rate.

You almost sounded funny but then rather dimwitted, and disillusioned.
Even if you are half human and you have been in Nigeria long enough, you would know that an average seller would rather make prices stay up than come down.

Naira depreciated daily, prices of stuff responded by climbing daily.
Now that naira has been appreciating for over 3 weeks, there is hardly commodity that has reflected that, and you think the sense you claim to install you don't need it yourself?

Stop this note of appreciations, biko.

When will it be felt on the prices of commodities

I love this sage
He is a SAN with head for data.

He is another Gani Faweyinmi.
The manner Gani used data and statistics was phenomenal and would give an analyst a run for his money.

No apology to "na data we go chop" crew.


I haven't seen many lawyers who master data literacy like these gems.

bentenny:
When you hear stories like these,you will come to realise why soccer celebs like CR7 prefer not to marry their baby mamas

You just nailed it.
White men don't see marriage like most Africans do, like it is a must, well except for Christian ones who know that cohabitation is a sin

tefishy:
These days to trust woman hard, be it side-chic or wife. As a man, just try and work on your weakness because those eves are manipulative and unforgiving.

Not only UK, same thing in the US.
The law is to protect women from men who want to take advantage of them, but now many women are the ones taking the advantage.
I bet this is partly why most white men don't really want to get married, except for cohabitation and having kids just like that. And in the case they opt for marriage, they have well-defined prenup clauses and conditions in place.

kay29000:
This is quite impressive.

I remember going for Akin Alabi's seminar at CMS, Lagos like 15 years ago when he was still an internet marketer. Dude has come a long way.

Yeah, I got yeah. Even 15 years and above.
In the days of success digest magazine, by that late publisher (Sunny Obazu-Ojeagbase), who is also the founder of the popular daily sport news paper.
Those are the days he has been hitting it hard. He has paid his dues. Along also came nairabet too. All those early years I doubt if he ever thought of becoming a politician.

Power of success is real, it will cascade into greater success eventually.

Run ooo

Unrealistic manifesto

SmartPolician:
We are deceiving ourselves thinking we are going to school in Nigeria. If we really want to offer STEM courses, they are very expensive because they often involve practical, experiment and research.

We cannot afford it in Nigeria; that's why we focus on theories, outdated practical, no research and no inventions. Imagine asking a Nigerian student to pay £10k (#20 million) per annum in tuition fees. That's the cheapest tuition fee you can get in the UK. Na money dem dey use cook beta soup; quality education isn't cheap.

This is why they overglorify federal government that FG has subsidized education at tertiary institution of learning - Federal schools.
Only to learn theory and what you learnt is not really relevant to the world of today.

Namaster:
Listened to a few seconds of the video and I can tell she's an IDIIIOT with bad intentions.

First of all, 99% of the People who travel abroad do NOT do it to make money. So the premise of her NONSENSE argument is flawed.

The amount of money that is needed to complete the process of emigration in Nigeria is MIND-BOGGLING! The idea that it's ONLY poor people looking for money that choose to travel to UK, Europe, USA, Canada, etc is just plain DUMB!

It's even dumber when you consider the fact that a 40-year old man is UNLIKELY to receive external support to finance his plans.

People who travel do it to get AWAY from the economic quagmire, political instability, infrastructural collapse and the general LAWLESSNESS that is the hallmark of the Nigerian society.

Put simply, people travel out to get a better quality of life for themselves and their families.

Anyone who thinks people are fleeing Nigeria to make money is just being DELIBERATELY obtuse.

She's advocating for staying in Nigeria and "looking for money in dirty places". She doesn't realize that all the money in Nigeria would make no difference if you fall sick and the hospitals do NOT have ordinary X-ray machine to help with the diagnosis.

For those reading this:

If it enters your body to leave Nigeria and you can afford it, LEAVE! Even if you are 99 years old, LEAVE!

So apt that there's hardly anything to add.

Like they always say that Nigerians don't ask for too much.... They just want to have the basic amenities, the good road, the 4G that's actually 4G, the security of life, life expectancy that's actually worth one, then the dividends of actually paying taxes... Are these too much to ask? Of course, they are too much to ask in a country where political office holders use state money to finance their lifestyle, and horde stolen wealth for 4th and more generations and never get to resign voluntarily from office when accused of misappropriation of public funds.
Anyone who has the chance to escape such decadence should do without looking back...
