Last month's jobs report saw nearly 100,000 more jobs than economists predicted."
"It was the fourth highest month for private payroll growth in the past two years. 9000 manufacturing jobs have been added to the economy already!"
"This is a sharp contrast to the 6000 manufacturing jobs that were lost each month in the final two years of the Biden administration.

Spot the irony in the above

It was the 4th highest month for job growth in the last 2 years

Meaning 3 months of Biden in the last 2 years were higher

Also 6000 manufacturing jobs were lost each month of the last 2 years of Biden, during which time he posted overall higher growth for 3 of those months. Cherry picking

BTW only 1,000 manufacturing jobs were added in March, and 8,000 in February, hence your 9000. Again cherrypicking.

While cherrypicking. I'm seeing that DOGE has had no impact on Govt Payroll. Because why is Govt Payroll growing amidst DOGEs lamba trillion dollar cut? Another 18,000 Govt workers net added to payroll last month.

Generational chopping

Everytime there's a mention of Agege bread or akara, everyone immediately knows who is being alluded to.

Fill me in

Relevant. I don't make the rules, I just call the game as I see it.

Ibime:
Anyone who knows Tinubus doings knows that PDP would barely exist by 2027. Nigeria will become a one party state because Tinubu always looks for a way to merge peoples interests

Sportsweb:
If every big weight defects to APC, the old members of APC will defect to another party.

With Delta Governor now APC member, what happens to Omo Agege that wants to be a Governor? He will likely defect to PDP to contest.

What matters is who controls the purse strings. Amaechi was already APC stalwart in Rivers and a bigger fish (Wike) was brought in to sideline him and he is now irrelevant. Okowa got the dough and the structure so Omo Agege will need to roll with the program or dem go press am like Agege bread

BlueRayDick:
Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to learn .

I also don’t think china makes its migration routes easy like western countries do

Income per capita is the most important metric in migration not any megedefegede. China is big because of population, most of their population are still poor, same with India. What matters is the average man welfare and that's what drives Japa. China per capita income is $5k, a third the size of Estonias per capita income

GloriousGbola:
Did some smamry queens English nazi call you out in an email?

Good God Ebeme, we use the king's English in these parts!

I don tell you to block Sodiq

My FC whenever she approves a payment on the banking portal will inform the parties that payment has been "despatched". It's been bugging me till I decided to check copilot for dispatched vs despatched and found dispatched is an Americanism

Just realised despatched is the English version of dispatched so I'm never using dispatched again. I can't be moving out here like iamoyindamola

Realtord43:
wow, that a huge blow. Can Merino fill up the void?

He can to a certain extent but who go now fill striker void

Realtord43:
wait, is partey injured or suspended?

Suspension

Realtord43:
Arsenal might drop 3 goals on PSG. The are really a force in the Champions league this season.

Psg need to score and maybe lose with just a goal deficit or else, no matter what happens in Paris, Arsenal will advance

Without Partey, Arsenal will not be the same

GloriousGbola:
I am suprised at the ignorance dude is spitting with confidence.

Melvyn never go zoo before. Naija zoos never see better funding for decades to keep better animals for indomie generation to enjoy. Melvyn should be sentenced in Kangaroo court . . . to be executed by wild animals.

If you believe hundred 5 year olds can kill you as a full grown man, then by all means you can believe that 100 men can kill a gorilla

There is no physical method of a man or 100 men killing a gorilla with bare hands. He cannot be punched, strangled or bitten to any degree of pain by a human

Melvyn11:
One vs one the man go beat the Orangutan. We are not talking about carnivorous animals with hunting techniques and fighting skills. Have you ever wondered why Leopards dey kill gorilla on a steady.

Show me one video of a leopard killing a gorilla

You just dey yarn opaks since. Na monkey and baboon leopard dey kill

And an orangutan will kill a man easy

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encounter data for the last six months (October 2024–March 2025) along the southwest border, based on available information from CBP and related sources, is as follows. The data includes U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) apprehensions between ports of entry and Office of Field Operations (OFO) inadmissible encounters at ports of entry. Note that exact figures for some months may be incomplete or preliminary, and numbers reflect Title 8 apprehensions and inadmissibles, with Title 42 expulsions no longer applicable after May 2023.

October 2024:
USBP: ~56,000 encounters (approximate, based on CBP’s reported trend of low encounters post-June 2024 Proclamation).

OFO: ~3,500 inadmissible encounters (estimated from February 2025’s 3,362, given a slight increase in early FY2025).

Total: ~59,500 encounters (approximate).

November 2024:
USBP: ~50,000 encounters (estimated, reflecting a continued decline from October, aligned with CBP’s reported 60% decrease from May to December 2024).

OFO: ~3,400 inadmissible encounters (estimated, consistent with low OFO numbers in early 2025).

Total: ~53,400 encounters (approximate).

December 2024:
USBP: ~40,000 encounters (estimated, based on CBP’s note of November and December being the lowest since August 2020).

OFO: ~3,300 inadmissible encounters (estimated, slightly below November’s trend).

Total: ~43,300 encounters (approximate).

January 2025:
USBP: 29,101 encounters (reported by CBP).

OFO: 32,346 inadmissible encounters (reported by CBP, reflecting a higher OFO figure before a sharp drop in February).

Total: 61,447 encounters.

February 2025:
USBP: 8,347 encounters (reported by CBP).

OFO: 3,362 inadmissible encounters (reported by CBP).

Total: 11,709 encounters.

March 2025:
USBP: 7,181 encounters (reported by CBP).

OFO: ~673 daily average, equating to ~20,790 encounters (based on 31 days, reported by CBP).

Total: ~27,971 encounters.

Notes:
Data Sources: Exact figures for January, February, and March 2025 come from CBP’s monthly updates. October to December 2024 figures are estimated based on CBP’s reported trends of significant declines (e.g., 55% decrease in encounters between ports of entry from June to November 2024) and fiscal year summaries.

Context: The sharp decline in encounters from October 2024 to March 2025 reflects enhanced enforcement measures, including the June 2024 Presidential Proclamation and increased patrols with Department of Defense support.

Limitations: Estimates for October–December 2024 are approximate due to incomplete monthly breakdowns in available data. Totals may not reflect unique individuals, as recidivism (repeat encounters) can inflate numbers.

Verification: Official CBP data is subject to revisions, and final statistics are typically confirmed at the end of the fiscal year (September 30, 2025).

For the most precise and updated figures, check CBP’s Stats and Summaries webpage or the Southwest Land Border Encounters dashboard.

Count the number of "Estimated", "Approximate" and "Trends indicate" in this post please

So any unscrupulous being with a political goal can estimate anything

What is there to estimate. If it dey, it dey. If it didn't dey, it didn't dey

CBP encounters are recorded ,notarized, serialized , webalized , journalized etc.

You can see them and don't approach or "encounter" them if you want to juke your stats

Over 6000 were crossing every day Today it's less than 200.It didn't require a bipartisan bill as Joe Biden claimed.
Whatever you do with that information is upto you.

So they watch illegals cross and count them?

What's the data collection method?

basilico:
A friendly reminder about immigration bipartisan bill.
For four years Kamala Harris was the designated border Czar. Had she won many would be crossing illegally today while she is spouting bipartisan utopia.
Border crisis was a deliberate invasion. 100%.

Manipulated figures since they can't match even Obamas deportation numbers

How do you count illegals at the border if they are illegals. So the border force will be counting them instead of arresting them? This has always been a number where you write whatever you want based on estimates

Roland17:
Baba, my position on your takes is based your history of defending Buhari in a bid to slight your kinsman. I don’t think anyone remotely thinks Jonathan should be likened to the 2nd coming Desmond Tutu, however, your compulsion to denigrate your kinsman while excusing a total failure like Buhari is what I object to.

I struggle to see how you have refused to take into account the despicable levels of corruption that happened under Buhari. The numerous pardons of criminal elements that drained our country or the nonsense Mefi did!

Under this same Buhari we had our worst ranking using the Transparency Index but somehow, the sins of your kinsman trump Buhari’s and must be used to constantly excuse his failures.

You are also a voltron along with BlueRay so this is to be expected.

My criticisms of Buhari and Meffy are numerous but they pass without comment because there is hardly any Voltron on the other side to turn it into a long argument.

See how discussion of singular issue of ECA $50bln branched into several other issues to do with Buhari like border closure, barrels per day etc outside the scope of the discussion because voltrons must defend without even knowing that I agree with most of those arguments but is not relevant to the discussion we are having.

Buhari and Tinubu are cursed several times a day and nobody starts defending them except Raum and Oasis, sometimes Glorious. Sometimes I even jump in to correct APC voltrons when their defence is laughable.

But let someone mention Jonathan once, and the Voltrons will turn it into 2 days argument and start deflecting and arguing other things wey no join. How easy is it to see $50bln take flight and just be quiet and accept it's a monumental and most material fvck up? For context, that's 2.5 years of Nigerias budget eaten in one night back then. I mean, there are no words to describe the unforgiveability of that crime. Almost everything since then is pennies in comparison and chopping within Nigeria's yearly budget which we mostly don't generate the revenue to achieve.

Ibime:
It can't be far from the truth, regardless whether the numbers are exact or not. All I know is our foreign reserves are on paper only, that's why they are scrambling around for 3bln to protect Naira

Central banks are supposed to be independent for a reason. Emefiele really should be jailed for life for abuse of public trust at the very least

Roland17:
Ibime’s personal bias against his kinsman is obvious and truthfully I sort of understand. This bias causes Ibime, irrespective of the circumstance or topic to defend and paint a failure like Buhari with lipstick. He expected more from kinsman but that never justifies his constant glorification of a failure like Buhari.

I have only made 2 comments specifically on the ECA but as usual the PDP voltrons (Flint and Livelong) cannot see a comment about Jonathan without trying to defend and discuss Buhari.

I am simply a numbers man, a patriotic Nigerian who DGAF about us vs them politics. I have put myself on the line exposing some things I'm privy to about Buhari to Sowore and had to wipe my phone and all contacts with Sowore when he was arrested the next week for publishing the stuff I gave him. I no dey carry anybody for head.

In terms of pure numbers. Jonathan is the most profligate President in Nigerias history and the man who had the one opportunity to smoothen out financial headwinds we have faced over the last 10 years but wasted it, plus wasted the one that was handed over to him to store up for our future. The ECA he inherited at $50bln should have been $100bln plus by the end of his tenure given oil prices throughout his tenure, yet we entered oil downturn in minus. I can't keep repeating myself about Buhari who was a very poor President. Conversation is back-and-forth. I have criticised Buhari severally without comment, but PDP voltrons won't allow me drink and drop cup when discussing Jonathan without turning it into a long argument hence giving you the impression I am partisan.

Ibime:
Presidents are often hostage to Business Cycles, not the cause of them

A President should be rated according to his reaction to either an upturn or downturn in a Business cycle and both Jonathan (upturn) and Buhari (downturn) performed woefully for their part of the business cycle

Neither of these Presidents control the price of oil which determines Nigeria's Business cycles.

During Jonathan time, the expectation was either he bolsters savings or building out of industries that will propel future growth. He did neither

During Buhari times the expectation is belt tightening and instead he became more profligate than Jonathan on ill advised infrastructure that won't achieve much ROI. Nigeria will be paying debts incurred under Buhari for decades.

We have been very unfortunate with leaders since OBJ

GloriousGbola:
that is the really painful thing about GEJ's admin. there was /;is NOTHING to show for it. las las militants and the likes of kola aluko got rich. add pastor bling bling and his private jet used for gun running $15million usd. also chris aire.

infrastructure? just the usual empty promises. yes, buhari was a fk up - but he actually gave the ibos who love to hate him the second niger bridge. it was in his administration they finally fixed apapa oshodi expressway.

I'm talking about a specific drawdown of the ECA in one night, a one time heist, not the recurring chopping of the above which they all do
