Hmmm na wa o, this govt just make things expensive,

The last time i bought this, i got it 9million.....imagine within few months its now 13m......this Nigeria ehn

Happy Birthday, wish you heaven's ravishing beauty and joy wish long life and good health.

For your sleep issue, you may not have much issue,
Firstly, i think you should reduce your stress level.

Do physical exercise in the evening, not very close to your sleeping time.

You must discipline yourself to avoid using your mobile phone at night, especially when your room is not properly lighted, avoid long chatting at night, and also TV or PC.

Try and sleep early, possibly do not exceed 9pm before going to bed.

Avoid thinking too much, try and reduce anxiety and too many expectations in your life. I know say Nigeria hard.

Eat early enough, and take less water at night to prevent you from been prompted to urinate.

Avoid using medications to induce sleep, you might become so dependent on it. Not so good.

When i was quite younger garri and pear (not avocado pear) used to help me sleep, u soak together, u can try too for a short time, don't depend on it.

I believe these would help, good luck.

Polchiz:
Buhari spent 8 years blaming Goodluck, Tinubu will spend 4 years blaming Peter Obi.

Obi is the reason 1 dollar = 890 naira

Blamatoshins......

My profession is to secure you, doctors and the entire Nigerian populace.

Is it now a competition of counting kills by doctors? Can you even listen to yourself?

Only a very very DUMB person would believe doctors are above criticism.


During the COVID era, people like me risked our lives by providing safety and security for doctors to go to work

Others who do more important work than doctors are not even getting the 3k hazard allowance.

No one is forcing any doctor to go to work and any doctor that is useless should resign instead of killing people he is meant to save

All useless doctors should be sacked immediately and that includes you if you are a useless doctor.

Which of the security department are you?

Just read through properly, who said its a competition to count people doctors kill, is that the point here?.....
Nigeria is where it is today because we hide the truth, all around the developed world there 3 very respected profession Health, Security and Teachers....they are well paid.....Here in Nigeria how much does a soldier earn, or a police or civil defence, how much.....compare the difference with what your political holders earn.

Whether you like it on not, Doctors remain important and essential, they should be taken care of and other sectors as well which include the military.

That's how you people praised Ngige who was a minister of labour that said doctor can leave the country if they like that Nigeria had enough doctors, they actually started leaving in drove una begin complain.

Always state the truth let's Nigeria be better

complexstuffs:
Is the life of a doctor more than the life of other Nigerians?


Same doctors who kill patients all the time out of negligence and incompetence

No,
What's your profession?

What's the ratio of people doctor save to what they kill?
The doctors you criticize spent their lives helping people during covid when u were in your house, they were being paid about 3k hazard allowance yet your senators who go to sleep doing nothing in the national assembly they give dem millions.

You are criticizing dem......they should just sack all since they are all useless to u.

Ademola47:
But is strike the way forward?

Yes, govt can allocate billions to themselves but can't even treat their medical staffs well and even other workers well.....no good working environment, yet the Senate president says their allocated money ain't even enough..... nonsense, how much would it cost to fix elevator

bukatyne:
Hmmmmmmmmm.

Again, it has never been this bad so I guess people are very desperate.

Anyways, the strike held as scheduled.

I hope something good comes out of it and issues are resolved quickly.

Grounding businesses when everyone is recording serious losses would further hurt our crazy economy.

Yes, its hurts...its just a pain we have to bare temporarily because our government doesn't understand any other language...the country is seriously messed up.

bukatyne:
While I am not in support of their shenanigans, I doubt anyone is afraid of NLC anymore.

They have been toothless bulldogs for a long time.

Yes they are toothless bulldogs, but their effect is feared, anything can happen as a result of their declaration, the govt is scared of protest, its obvious.
If they had been communicating appropriately and backed it with action, we wouldn't have been in this position.....

Does this reduce the price of food stuff in the market abi does it reduce fuel.........fear of NLC strike, make una continue, if u like give NLC money to stop the strike, when the real crisis start even NLC cannot control of hold people back........continue, una think say that proverb wen say. "an hungry man is an angry man" na joke, una think say na joke....continue

Fear of NLC protest

Wetin concern world people.....

This is what should be done rather than closing people's offices and wanting them to come out and risk their lives.

nairalanda1:
Same show under army,without freedom of speech

Exactly

nairalanda1:
No it hasn't.

Military rule has been just as bad , and in some instances even worse than democratic rule here.

You don't have to agree with me, and I myself don't like our current political system, regardless of the party, but at least we have choices that we never had under army rule

Also, at the end, we have had the same corruption and looting under army rule that we do under civilian rule. The soldiers take over where the civilians stop.

If you want a better democratic system, we have to get up and do the hard work of participation. No democracy is born perfect. It is always a work in progress

And if we want prosperity we have to develop an industrial economy that exports. Army rule never did that, nor did civilian rule. A coup would just change the nature of the oppressors. It's at the end, still the same mess.

You actually think you have choice in your democracy compared to military... let's reason it, your current crop of politicians are same recycled people who would always use power and stolen money to hold power. In Nigeria can someone without money and connection win a primary not to talk of the main election. We are always forced to choose between rubbish always, which is basically selection....circle of cronies n friends ruling......so how's that better than a military govt.
A democratic govt that tells it's citizens to ride on bicycles but allocate billions for themselves to acquire bullet proof cars.....

Chop fufu n better vegetable soup when get obstacles full belle

Often time what people call stingy is just calculative. Most of the men we classify as stingy just hate spending foolishly....when it comes to their families, they take care of their needs, but u see that extra money for flexing, u are not guaranteed to get it.

CuriousStudent:
A stingy man is the most hated of all men. Penny pinching is just not it. Women will forgive a cheat but not one that doesn't spend.

I can't be over estimating prices or lying my way just to collect cash.

I no fit. I will trim you off when I notice. Choose a cheap place(chicken republic) or ask for home dates,then you have entered the ghost list.

I want to go to heaven . Any man that will make me inflate junior school fees is a no go area.

They are always easy to spot
1) always trekking
2) saving drinks from occasions so they don't have to buy drinks to entertain their female guests.
3) asking for house dates
4)will collect the change from bike ( for those of you demeaning yourself by dating men that will make you jump bikes. Until the silencer of the bike burns your leg or you fall into a ditch)

And the rest

Lol... have u ever contributed to a man's life?.......abi na u work for the man money ni........u just want to dey chop....obiageli ( u con chop).....u funny sha.......i think alot of women need a change of mentality, must a man give u money....see correct women out there dey make impact.....some dey look for who go carry dem for front seat....lol

talented321:
Have u ever has ano encounter wit a stingy man?

U not fit work for ur money? Y depend on a man's money.....if he is stingy, better o, atleast once in a while money would be dropping whether he likes it or not.

simplesearch:
Very useless advice none should listen to or accept. In life You always get your complementary half, meaning you can't be deceitful, promiscuous, cunning, and expect to get the opposite by chance if such does exist. There are women who will choose never to get marry again after the death of their husband. There are also many who serves as breadwinner for their homes when the going became tough for the man without blowing a trumpet. If you get marry to an ex-hooker, bisexual, serial fornicator or even a leabian or a godless fellow and except to have a good and sincere partner; you're joikng.

I don't totally agree with u on this, some of the so called serial fornicator et al. Like u highlighted became best wives and the so called Holy women worse wives, there's no "cast in stone" definition of what would make a good wife...... while we try not to generalize, a man can finance a woman through school, take care of her every need and family for years without d woman working, nobody would hear of it, d moment d man gets indisposed and same woman starts financing the home for just 4 months, the whole world would know..most women behave like this.

Primebuilders:
Of the Jamb exam is CBT why are students not getting their results immediately. It will not take some weeks before they start announcing them. Just curious

Exactly, what's the essence of cbt if result can't be instant......yeye people

You love her na im u tie her mouth....leave the mouth mak e for kiss u......mtchewwww.. stupidity defined as madness

Interesting.... what's the physics behind this

Chicken leg and wing is the sweetest part

All this are just charades, we are waiting for dollar to equal at most 50naira not even 1naira and also for poverty index to drop drastically, then I would say Yes, BAT has done it......for now, they are no different from Buhari's APC of lies.

chidiokay:
Your case is good bro, @ least you know one sure 100k is coming month end, it is left for you to draw case of preference

For a trader, with the present economic hardship, consumers will surely cut down on purchaases .. before as a boutique owner if you're making 100k a month it is no longer guaranteed, becos turnover will drop and flunctuate at low.
Need i remind you a trader will pay shop rent, pay transport to his/her shop, pay sales gurl/boy, pay his house rent and feed all that expenditure is on a dwindling turnover
Salary earner whether oga sell or no sell you go collect salary at month end, you have zeros worries about your office expenditure na the owner headache, If you guyz own a business you won't argue the way una dey argue

You are right, but also note that the person that pay you that salary is also a business man or woman.....so loss of jobs might become imminent....thereby adding more frustration, wahala everywhere

chidiokay:
And majority of hausas and yorubas are beggars the igbos feed and cloth abi ..

In an hyper inflation economic people who suffer the most are traders cos of eminent low sales, scale of preference and opportunity cost will be the order of the day.
Consumers will not only cut down on there consumption, they will prioritized only essential goods, so it going to affect most traders not into essential commodity whether igbo, yoruba or hausa ...let me widen your horizon bro.

With the current economic situation,traders turnover is most likely to drop than increase while monthly pay is prone to remain constant or increase. business life span is not as durable as human, onces business is not making regular turnover naa close down, but salary earners will survive even economic melt underground sef. na lean dem go lean

Economic hardship knows no tribe, we all go to the same market, emeka selling motor part will eat meat/fish, mama chukwudi selling okrikra cloth children will go to school, chinedu selling phone accessories in computer village will pay shop rent, Nnamdi will need kazeem mechanic to fix his highlander ...

As you exploit customers in your business, you also will be a customer somewhere and they will exploit you tew ... its a circle we all are in it. stop fooling yourselves.

While you have a point, i don't totally agree, they are essential goods traders or business people, those would sustain well, salary earners are mostly hit, transportation currently has doubled, by this coming week, food and other essential products would likely double or triple, so, me that earn 100k and spend 30k on transport previously would now be spending 60k, also if i spend 20k on feeding, then it becomes 40k, the 100k salary is gone...also if u had savings of 500k, its value would be halved.....also note that while Businesses are affected like you stated, salary cannot be increased up to 200% ( or double), so, now, who would suffer most?....so business may have to lay off staffs to survive.

Cost of running business should have doubled or even tripled....so salary worker would be on the receiving end more.....I learnt water is about to increase, would you now stop drinking water or eating food?

The president wasn't wise and too hasty....alot should have been made available.

At this point our borders need to be opened if that would help reduce prices of essential products especially food, let there be over supply.

The coming weeks would be very tough, all of us writing in support of this removal and discouraging a protest would begin to feel the pain, the government needs to provide a cushion, and trust me, if this Govt doesn't get the heat they won't act.

Bobloco:
All the three leading candidates promise to remove it no doubt about that but the difference is the approach. Tinubu got no approach reason why he goofed with that "subsidy is gone" pronouncement right at the inauguration ground

Very unprofessional and unethical of him....wrong approach......anyway i nor blame, na still apc e b

nairalanda1:
Fuel in Benin is N489 right now.

And right now, fuel in Nigeria is N488-540 per liter.

At the end of the day, smugglers cannot make a profit at all. Removing subsidy has made it difficult for anyone to smuggle fuel across the border.

And people ask me why I say subsidy must go...well here is one good reason.

Modified

If fuel was still N195, and I was living on the border, I can buy fuel into two 50l jerrycans, at N19500, cross the broder and sell it at dobule the price, and earn a cool N40000. Note that it was not only big cabals involved in the smuggling...it was also small poor boys and gals too.

Your analysis doesn't add up, smuggle fuel or not, fuel is mot scarce in Nigeria, i don't think that's the issue here...how many persons live on the border?
Ordinarily, fuel subsidy doesn't make sense, why are the refineries not working, this is because people are benefing from it.
Now NNPC says even with Dangote refinery, price would not drop, you claim to deregulate something, yet you still control the price.

What do Nigerians actually benefit from their Govt and oil they have? Nothing, yet they make them suffer alot. Nigerians have suffer too much for nothing.....the previous APC stooge promised fixing the refineries, yet no success, the present is promising same...audio promises.

Personally, your story is not complete, i think i need an instance or 2 how your mother in law interfered.... sometimes what we think is interference may not be, also how and what did you tell or do to your mother in law...? This would help make proper judgement.

E b like them dey do double social distancing for the venue......

See as the staffs look unkept, hope he paid them well.....make e just carry im baggage, incompetence plus bad luck dey go

Them dey call u odogwu, e dey sweet u. You say u dey suspect say she get ill motive...i dey laff u, u forget say na pikin wen she carry for belle u marry, na im dey give u food chop, plus bed work. N u tink say as u give am hot she don go......u better go apologize, pray say na good woman....dey mind mouth n use your head next time and remember say cassava wen stand today go bend tomorrow.
