What are the indices/indicators that show that we are truly on the path of recovery. The last time I checked, dollar rose from N1500 to Ni,650 under one week.

Chinkoalhaji34:
If na Atiku or Obi dey there, we for don dey hear different stories now. No be small wahala, but Tinubu dey try to bring balance. Make we give am chance to do him thing.

oh yea, i agree with you. Tinubu is truly working indeed. Please can you give us some indices/indicators that can give us glimpse of hope that things would be or are getting better?

Salewa97:
If Atiku or Obi was the president, they would have probably been busy trying to figure out how to govern a country with their endless political drama.

Meanwhile, Tinubu is busy making moves that actually matter.

Leadership is not just about titles; it’s about action and impact.

Let’s be real, Jagaban would have found a way to unite the nation and push for progress, while others would still be stuck in their campaign promises.

God bless the president of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, for his unwavering focus on the task at hand!

o yea, you're right. The same way he united the country with the Occupy Nigeria protest. you are doing well. Abeg how much were you paid to type this nonsense?

dey play! just dey play

For those that are giving 101 reasons why we shouldn't protest. Could you please answer this simple question.

What do you think Tinubu and the Occupy Nigeria Crew would have done if Atiku or Obi was the President and economy was this bad:

1. Dollar rose from N400 to N1650 under one year in office
2. The price of fuel from N180 to N800.
3. A bag of rice from N30k to N100k
4. Tuition fee from under 50k to over N200k
5. Electricity Tariff from N15,000 to N60,000
etc.

Please be sincere and objective, tell us what you think would have happened?

Glasca:
Are u joking or serious? No go let person swindle u o…….the only way is tO japa

you don't need dorm account. As a matter of fact, i don't recommend account because by the time you want to withdraw your funds, that is when they will tell you no dollar. I will suggest you convert your money to USDT. you can buy and sell your funds under 10mins. This is where I kept my money now.

Murketeer:
lol … u want to use South Korean economy to compare Nigeria … pls go and google their GDP

na you get time dey respond to that fool. How can any sensible person compare SK with Nigeria. Do you know how their government is supporting SME businesses? This country has no business with dollar. they question is, how many businesses in SK need dollar before they operate. Come to Nigeria, even every basic need both personal and business requires dollar to survive. And one muron is now comparing SK and Nigeria. Nonsense!

ifytrik:
How can I change all my savings from naira to dollar for goodness sake? I am living Nigeria very soon and all my money is still in Naira, to make matter worst, their is only one bank were I am( unity bank) and they said they can not open a dollar account, how can I change my savings to dollar? Help a brother

that is the wise decision. I have told my friends, if you still have naira in your bank account, I'm sorry for you. Just convert your money to usdt, with that you can still keep the value.

FatherLord:
Sometimes when they say be patient the president knows is trying to repair the economy I wonder what they mean.
Will dollar ever come to 500 naira again
Will bag of rice ever come to 25k again
What of beans, house rent, school fees haaa these politicians are not sensitive.

forget it, this can NEVER happen again in Nigeria. The moment he approved the 70k as the minimum wage, I knew we have lost it. They may push it to N2000 or more and then try to revaluate the currency by removing digits to give a facial value of N2 to a dollar. The same thing Ghana did.

I thought they said it was Binance that caused it. I'm waiting patiently to listen to the next excuse this idiots in power will give. Living in nigeria is so frustrating.

We told them before the election that this man doesn't care about the poor. they were saying idi berere... let's see where that your rotten "idi bebere" would lead. let me see any idiot that would still tell me that "things have damaged" before this olodo took over (ikan ti baje jina).

OkCornel:
300 naira to the USD in the “short term” - Tinubu, April 2023.

perhaps he meant N3,000 to a dollar. One idiot will now come online with 101 reasons why Nigerians should not protest. thunder fire you! I called my aboki that I need $60 to pay for a course online, he gave me a bill of N96,300. infact, thunder fire all APC supporters. May APC happen to their generations.

This government will do anything possible to stop this protest, because they know this is the only thing that can librate the people from their inhumane and anti-people's policies.

After approving the N70,000 minimum wage, I knew dollar would definitely hit N1,800 to N2,000 to a dollar. The aim is to maintain $35 minimum wage. sebi una foolish ni, you go wise by force by fire.

MossadAgent:
1. Long standing fuel subsidy scammers : a key demands by the faceless and headless mob is a return to the old subsidy scam regime. You can't be crying on behalf of Dangote and at the same time demanding to a return to subsidy. You will only be empowering the same cabal that own interests in foreign refineries who make another round of profit scheming through the subsidy regime. You remain a bonafide fool to want a subsidy regime that benefits corrupt NNPC criminals who looted our collective wealth to own interests in foriegn refineries that have seen to our state owned refineries not working while denying Damgote's private refinery from having access to crude to refine and at the same time seeing to FX drain and a dearth in local content aka employment in the downstream sector. You remain a real fool to hit the streets on behalf of those who have continued to scam and loot our commonwealth.

2. FX racketeers: This is another set of criminals you are ready to burn down the polity over. The ones who benefited purely from manipulation and speculation of our currency.

3. Lazy importers and money launderers: who used the old FX regime and inner connections to the old CBN under the likes of Emefile to turn Nigeria to a dumping ground thus suffocating our local industries. The criminals involved in drug business , scammers use the importation model to launder their illicit loot using the artificial rated naira to their best interests.


4. The Buhari cabal: One midget of a former governor of a northern state has began recruiting terrorists from the Sahel as he did in 2015 to participate in the upcoming insurection. This politician has everything to lose as he is being indicted for massive fraud and embezzlement by his successor. He will rather see Nigeria burn to the ground than answer to his looting spree.

5. embittered sore losers of IPOB aka Disobedient: the spirit of Zik , Ojukwu and Hoe-Bi is strong with this crowd. The anarcho Marxist mob of delusional idiots claiming reformists who are only concerned in maintaining the Ironsi handed down parasitic status quo

So, if you like be the fool that you are and go hit the streets for these criminals and terrorists.

...for your mind, you don talk sense finish. If you are comfortable that a litre if fuel is N800 and subsidy per month is now N700bn. Today, N1600/$. School fees from less than N50k to over N200k. I can go on and on. If all these do not bother you, it simply means youi have sold your soul to the devil.

OPINION : Four Reasons You Should Think Before Joining The Nationwide Protest

By Wisdom Nwedene

Ahead of the planned nationwide protest scheduled to kick off on August 1st, 2024, I strongly believe that Nigerian Youth should think twice before joining the protest.

Though, there are genuine reasons for the protest but I have four strong reasons which made me to believe that this protest is not in the best interest of the country at the moment.

Below are my reasons

1. The organisers Of The Protest Are Faceless Individuals : It's crystal clear that those organising this protest are not known till now. I recommend that this type of protest should have leaders that should be calling the shots in case things go wrong. In a protest where everyone is a leader, many things can happen. The organisers should be at the forefront, leading the protesters and controlling the crowd so that things won't go wrong.

2. Thugs Can Hijack The Protest: It's very difficult to organise a peaceful protest in a country battling with bandits, criminals, hoodlums and expect things to go fine.

3. It's Still Early To Judge Tinubu’s Government : I still believe that it's too early to judge Tinubu’s Administration by leading this type of heavy protest against him. Despite that his policies are too harsh, Tinubu still needs time to address issues and bad policies of previous administrations.

4 All of us can still remember what happened during the EndSARS protest. Many lives were lost and property worth billions of Naira destroyed. How sure are we that this Nationwide won't degenerate to what happened during EndSARS protest? I think we should think twice. We can't afford to lose more lives and our national assets destroyed again just like what is happening in Kenya.

Keep your reasons to yourself.

The same way government hijacked endsars?

Perhaps to plan how to hijack the protest. EndSars was a peaceful protest until government hijacked it

Removal of fuel subsidy was not early? Why didn’t you warn the olodo in Aso Rock that floating of Naira was too early and could be hijacked?

If truly that this government is paying this much for nonexistent subsidy and we are still buying fuel at N700 per liter, then welcome to mother of all scam.

We are looking for investors indeed. A reasonable investor in his or her right senses would dare to invest in a country like Nigeria?

dododawa1:
Mallam El-Rufai told the committee that when he ran the Bureau, Obasanjo and Atiku contacted him at different times to influence the sale of government companies to their cronies but that he turned them down each time.

“The president and I were always quarrelling over issues of privatisation,” Mallam El-Rufai said. “Each time I told him we have a process ... that they should advise their friends to be the highest bidder.”

He added that former President Obasanjo blocked the sale of Nigeria Airways because of a personal interest he formed based on stories the then aviation minister, Kema Chikwe, was telling him.

Although Mallam El-Rufai hailed the idea of the privatisation programme, he blamed its failure after he left on government interference in the process. He said that under his leadership, the agency handled 33 transactions, closed 23 and that only one of the transactions he handled failed.

He further told the committee that the privatisation program saved Nigeria N265 billion annually. He said that between 1970 and 1999, Nigeria spent over $100 billion building companies but only got 0.5 percent of that amount back as return on investment.

He also said that Obasanjo ignored his recommendation of a successor and instead, appointed Julius Bala who was later investigated for fraud three months before the end of his stint at BPE. His described his successors as “cranky businessmen” who rather than being technically sound in privatisation issues, were only interested in making money.

Do you want me to respond to this writeup without a source? I don't engage in beer parlour gossip. I respond facts.

raskymonojendor:
LMAO.. Lagos stopped being the FCT over 20 years ago.

Let me educate you a little. New York was the U.S. capital from 1785 until 1790 before it was moved to washington dc On July 9, 1790. However, till date, no state in US can compete with New York. Nigeria and Nigerians built Lagos, not Tinubu. Unfortunately, the richest state in Nigeria is now the most indebted state in Nigeria. That's the same thing they have successfully transferred to Nigeria. Dele Momodu was right.

The same CBN governor that claimed only 5% Nigerians have up to N500k in their bank account is not saying we have excess liquidity?

dododawa1:
Atiku privatised 60% of NIGERIA assets


Call or ask


Obasanjo.

Please where did you read that?

EreluRoz:
lol let's just be patient. I don't like protest, I don't want anyone to be hurt

Abeg, leave this your preaching. Please tell us, how much were you paid for this thrash?

EreluRoz:
Remember Obasanjo didn't meet the mess Tinubu met on ground

How old are you? perhaps you weren't born when OBJ was president, otherwise you wouldn't have said this. But you can go and read the rots inherited from the military in 1999.

ATIKU

Part

Of

NIGERIA


Problem.

Please tell us how

kestolove95:
Atiku will never b president

Because?

Krankhead:
Sidikatu too is talking..one of the people that destroyed the country

Please tell us how did he destroy this country?

...and what would happen if they do? kill them?

ponishah:
We south south and southeast no go protest anything, make the hunger continue to dey kill Yoruba's and hausa fulanis, na dem bring APC to for this country.
Tribalism go kill una, shebi buhari kill this country and una no talk, now wey tinubu dey bury the country una wan talk.

Una funny die.
Endsars protest, northern youth say SSAR must stay, tinubu must stay .

TINUBU TILL 2031 ...
ALL THE ABOKI GO CHOKE WITH HUNGRY

The way some of you reason really baffles me. So, the hunger only applicable to Yoruba's and hausa fulanis? What a brain? Some of you people talking like this have either collected money or just echoing the same song from those that have collected money from Tinubu.
