kingscare1: Not good. The man should be the governor while the woman would handle mostly ladies and female child affairs in union with the ministry of women affairs.
The wife of the governor should be like a mother figure to the state.
Nothing like that constitutionally. All these additional expenses brought us here. Let the ministry do their work.
If she likes she can run an NGO or seek employment in the ministry ( dont know if its constitutional tho)
Truth is Truth no matter how painful or sweet it sounds.
Most enlightened minds blaming buhari is because if his role in 2012 which is hunting his government today. They played the people to believe they had the solution but they have been exposed.
In my view: Subsidy is a temporary solution to a permanent Problem.
1.Countries that 'refine at home' are seeing rising diesel prices.
2.Crude produced for the domestic market...hypothetically...may not be as high as the international price, but it would be higher than normal. Then there is the cost of transporting diesel to the end user...especially with government not subsidizing diesel.
Let me tell you this, if the refineries were working, the increase in price would be a function of the increase in global crude price which ordinarily would be infinitesimal. Again the government would gain from the increase in the sale of crude.
For Instance the price of diesel and pms in UAE increased with some fils (our kobo) about 29 fils or so.
Now even if the price of goods would adjust it won't distort things like you have in Nigeria.
The solution however remains: Remove the subsidy, let's suffer it once and for all. But ensure the money from subsidy removal goes to the RIGHT channel. Emphasis on RIGHT.
tekjansen2: So, should domestic producers of crude keep crude prices down 'to help poor Nigerians'?
Would you reduce prices of what you sell, assuming you are a businessman 'to help poor Nigerians'
And does my accepting the reality of capitalism mean that I am suddenly a Buhari supporter?
Swerve please. Many countries that produce crude sell it at a high price. Unless you want diesel to be subsidised again...something that ended in 2013...and something that if reinstated would drive us into more debt.
You aint informed bro... Sorry no body here can help you.
wink2015: BRITAIN THAT RELIES ON OVERSEAS INVESTMENT WILL START EXPERIENCING PROBLEM.
Many nationalities that ones sought refuge in Britain and financial havens will start transfering their wealth to their native land.
They will see Britain as a crude country with a crude conduct.
Many of the Arabs, Indians, Russians business men that find haven in Britain will start moving their funds from Britain.
I see the GBP ( Great Britain Pound ) Sterlings sliding down in the months and years to come.
Many arabs have learnt a bitter lesson from the Abromovich experience.
The hate the West had for Putin is now being redistributed to every Russian citizens that they know of that is in their midst.
ENGLAND DOES NOT HAVE CRUDE OIL THEY RELY ON SCOTLAND FOR THEIR SOURCE OF REVENUE PLUS TAXES FROM FOREIGN INVESTORS.
Now they want to do more than the American government.
BRITAIN SHOULD LEARN WHEN TO STOP A FIGHT.
WHEN YOU 'OVER DO A FIGHT' IT BECOMES SOMTHING ELSE.
Yeah you sound logical but those thieves in Africa and Asia including the Middle East can't invest where the true owners of the wealth (their citizens) can see and have access.
Moreover the need a stable and developed country to do that. It's not like the never knew stuff like this could happen.
Not so sure but we learnt of a former governor in Nigeria who lost a refinery to a South African..
idowuidowu70: Yayyyyyyyy!!!Do you know you can study in USA for free!!!!!! You’re not required to pay ANYTHING. Get the full details as I spill it all in this video . Please subscribe, like and share . Premiering now. Kindly join me.. Forward this to your family and friends. Good luck!
sukkot: brah sit this one out. those industries were shipped out by the american elites as part of payment for china. its covert moves you are not aware of. i mean which country deliberately destroys its own economy by shipping all its jobs to another country ? thats all your tax base gone. thats why poverty is now rife in america. you think someone in his right mind will deliberately impoverish his own country if there was not a hidden reason to do so ? all the states in america are now going bankrupt because all their tax base is now in china. nobody to tax anymore. the jobs left in america are menial low paying service jobs. cashier or macdonalds jobs
And you are privy to such sensitive info... CIA Director.
All you said isn't even worthy to be called an opinion. More like a wayward fantasy or nicotine induced hallucination caused by hatred for the US as a result of numerous visa rejections.
Don't you know most of those companies relocated to China only went there with their hard currency? When they decided to leave China, buidings will still be in China but the real company might have been moved back to US in just a press of a single button ( which is transfer of dollars).
Use this as an example, when ETISALAT left nigerian, I'm sure they don't move any building, all they did was to move their dollars out of NIGERIA.
Another example, when ShopRite left NIGERIA, they don't move a single building , all they did was to just move their dollars to South Africa. That's all.
So what you see in Nigeria right now is not the real ETISALAT or SHOPRITE. I hope you understand how it works now
Now to worsen the situation, no new investors would likely come and take over the business. Unlike the case of Etisalat where 9mobile and some banks (not sure) covered the liability.
Oluwatobike: No doubt Abaribe is saleable and a good choice. He have his people at heart, vocal and fearless. How I wish he can context under another party. Godfatherism politics in Abia have destroyed the state beyond redemption.
Well politicians are deceptive but I don't think Abaribe Is a man to be bossed around in Abia based on his pedigree.
My case with him is the zoning arrangement cos he is from the same Senatoria zone as the current governor. As for political parties, forget it. Party na name the people who happens to be of the same stock is the problem.
Oluwatobike: Why is Abians so unfortunate? Are they not tired of suffering? When will they keep party politics aside and embrace governance? Abia state learn from Anambra enough of the suffering, unpaid salary, undevelopment, loopsided appointment. Abians wake up from your slumber. Don't vote PDP again. Try Apga, APC or other party.
Oga chill na.... dem neva vote am in already. Take a chill pill jor.
Abaribe was out spoken in the senate. The reason most non Ibos and Anti- Biafrans hate him is because he is pro - Biafra and maybe IPOB Apologist.
If I remember well, during the end sars protest he was the only senator the youth listened to and gave audience to not those that were "FEMED"
NaijaGoBetter20: One of the major problems we have is decision making.
One of our major problems in this country is insecurity.
After you dismissed and release a soldier that was trained to kill, what do you think, most of these people ended up as bandits, kidnappers et al.
For this type of crime, I don't think NAF should dismiss this guy there should be a better punishment for him rather than dismiss him. What happens to the guard room, what happened to other punishment.
Them be goats na... Thats why CIA operatives are hunted down are not allowed to leave. You don't just throw a Weapon into the street like that.
Sadr: I don't blame your line of reasoning. Nigeria was once colonized so the word "capture" resonates well in your psych as a former victim of colonialism. Russia never set out to capture Ukraine but just to destroy your colonial masters activities in the country. If you think Russia is weak, tell Joe Biden to enter Ukraine as he set out to visit Europe and watch maybe his convoy won't become a legitimate target.
Are you sure you believe what you posted here? If Biden should enter Kiev you think Putin, even if he drinks all the vodka in Russia would send his troops to kill him?
If you believe Putin would do that then your are a true believer.
panafrican: That logic does not work when it comes to Africa. NATO countries as of now are White people, we are Black, never forget that .
EU countries are buying weapons or other military equipments from other countries.
Not true. NATO cannot confront Russia or China, not to talk about a military alliance including China and Russia.
What I'm saying is China and or Russia don't give a Flying Fvuc about Africa. If the west wants to invade Africa they won't pass through the stress of making African nations join NATO or whatever
From my view both China and Russian would want a cake in the Spoils (Africa) as they both missed the first time of not having colonies here.
Hope you get my point.
Moreover, even without a Pact to protect each other, have you seen any Eu country or The US invading any African Nation since independence?
Truth is while I can agree the West wants Africa to be in line with their dictates and all, they don't care about certain things like if we progress to having good roads, electricity, water, education and all. Those aint their issues with Africa.
So Have you heard about one NATO country attacking another before?
If the West wants to invade Africa a second time they don't need NATO OR Whatever. The weapons you use to defend against them are Invented, made and sold by them. And so you know Russia and China won't even stand on their way.
chronique: Leave all those programmed robots to be typing cluelessly. I bet most of them don't know that 50-60% of America's manufacturing is done in China. Without that, Americans can't survive as the cost of production in the US would be too high for them.
I may not be entirely correct but I know every businessman has a competitor. If US today decides to pull out their investment from China, there Re other countries to move to with cheaper labor.
The only thing may be a set back in a few years cos of availability of present technologies but I'm sure within a few years it could be settled.
bergs2: Thank you brother! Yea! The brother is sitting patiently waiting for Americans or Europeans to name a fruit is his domain in African language. Is our God not wonderful?
And me im waiting patiently till I can give them e slap.
Blacks are swift to cry about colonization but when they enjoy the products of the white man they are mum. The white man has long gone to his country. If they wanna go back to being cave men on hunter gatherer who is stopping them. Or even killing of twins or whatever .... If they decide to speak only their native language im sure no body ll arrest them.
Mariangeles: It's not about hating, it's about preserving what is left of our heritage and identity. Especially those things the whites haven't tampered with.
Kindly elucidate please. Cause from the post I quoted initially no such interference was perceived. Like the example I gave, cars ,air planes, phone etc are product of the white man and all have native African names. Im sure the white man doesn't care
Rubbiish: Now u are evading the question Is Ukraine west? Have u ever sat down to ask yourself what Ukrainians really want? I made reference to your India ability to make decision as a sovereign nation. Ukraine is not west, stop using west to smokescreen.
Most of them screaming west doesn't know the meaning or the appropriate use of the Term West. Ignore them bro.
