Codes151: if every state added 1000MW with just 2 incinerator each, or if half... we no go fit contain the supply..
that alone will boost economy. thats just 1 example. we need to contribute.. eveyone needs to bring somethng to the table
When is power supply moved from the exclusive list to the concurrent list? Or you don't know power supply is under the purview of the FG till the law was changed in 2022 or 2023?
rummmy: Hug transformer with full electricity.. How do you easily conclude I'm from the states you named..
You're ashame of yourself, that's why you're denying where you're from. Let people from the area the OP mentioned complain, it's none of your business.
Celestialsword: Some Yoruba people have bragged about Igbo people being in Lagos, but they never knew that had it the Yoruba had not monopolised the seaport in Nigeria, no Igbo man would be in Lagos as Lagos would have turned into a graveyard.
Nigeria is a country where more than 200 million people make use of the Lagos seaport when it can be distributed among regions. There are seas with proximity to the ocean in Bayelsa, Calabar, Akwa Ibom, Warri, Anambra, Abia, and Imo, yet the Nigerian government has denied the East seaport.
Ndi Igbo being in Lagos is a plus to the Yoruba people. These Igbo people were denied seaports and forced to be in Lagos. As the highest importers in Nigeria, Ndị́ Igbo were forced to travel miles away from their homes to clear their goods. Many had lost these goods to bad federal roads in the East while bringing them down to Ịgbo land. Instead of losing goods all the time, they decided to lock up their shops in Onitsha and relocate to Lagos. Since then they are not only contributing to the IGR of Lagos, they are also developing Lagos.
Imagine a situation where Anambra or Warri, or even Abia or Akwa Ibom, have a working Seaport. Do you think our people will be trooping into Lagos? They will stay in their land and develop it.
If you take away the monopoly of seaports from Lagos, Lagos will lose its taste. That's because Igbo people will head home and replicate what you see in Lagos back home.
As an Igbo man, you must stop feeling that Yoruba people are doing you a favour because you are in Lagos. It is the other way around. You are the one doing them a favour. They connived with the Fulani to have the seaports to themselves.
When you say this they say don't you have seaport in Warri and Calabar. Funny people. This is how they do it. They will make sure you pay more if you decide to use Calabar or Warri seaports. They will also use their men in charge of those places to frustrate your goods. By the time your goods spend 6 months without clearing it, you will learn to use Lagos seaport. If you are from Warri or Calabar and you claim you have a seaport, then you are a clọ́wn.

Jonathan built a river port at Onitsha, there's Onne port at Rivers state and there's calabar port at Cross River state.
If the wish of the enemies of the state who wants the naira to keep on losing value comes true, the price will rise unless Tinubu sell crude to indigenous refineries below the market price
Validated: It is foolishness that has put Nigeria in the same basket like Yemen, Ethiopia, Ruhinga and the poorest of the poor. A country whose leaders know nothing and have idiots as followers. To all those defending free float of Naira, I dare ask, Which country does that? China as big as they are defends the Yuan, Russia has been defending the Rubble. The USA cannot allow free devaluation of the Dollar, o matter what. The UK, aside need to curb Eastern European incursion into the Kingdom opted out of the Euro so as to keep the Sterlin valuable. Back home, some "educated " illiterates are falling over their stupid selves because Peter Obi said he would have defended the Naira.
Take a look at where we are today. A dollar is about N1600 from N367 that T-Pain met it. Even countries in war or crisis like Haiti has not had it so bad that their currency is devalued by 3400%.
Our purchasing power has been so eroded that Nigeria's minimum wage of N70,000 can only buy 55 litres of gasoline. The Naira is so useless now that given N100k to anyone is like giving them N1000 in 5 years ago.
Tinubu and his followers are suffering in silence, yet defending failures.
You're complaining as if the CBN has not been intervening
YesDaddyTill203: I told you people for a while now that the man is still wanted but the NL IPOB retards claimed that the case was settled. Imagine if this had happened to Dangote and Buhari refused to extradite him, the Nigerian press will remind us in daily basis that it's because Dangote is a Northerner. The bias Nigeria press has been silent on this story for a long time.
I like Oyenma but i hate the double standard and the wailing that would have originated from the Igbos if this man had been a Northerner or from the SW.
adenigga: Amid the economic hardship in Nigeria, activist cum politician, Aisha Yesufu, has described President Bola Tinubu as a bad person.
Yesufu was reacting to Borno South Senator, Ali Ndume’s remark that those Tinubu surrounds himself with are behind Nigeria’s economic hardship.
Ndume had said some individuals are behind the “harmful policies” under Tinubu-led administration rather than focusing on controlling inflation and stabilising the exchange rate.
Ndume said these people are working to undermine Tinubu’s administration, while expressing concerns over the rising prices of fuel, food, and essential goods.
He said: “Those who are bent on making the President look bad will stop at nothing in inflicting pain on Nigerians through the so-called reforms until things get out of hand, and the blame will be on President Tinubu.
“I believe President Tinubu means well for Nigeria and Nigerians. I know this because I know what he stands for. But some of his advisers who don’t mean well to the people of this country give him wrong advice.”
Reacting in a post on X, Yesufu wrote: “Tinubu is the bad person. Call a spade a spade and not a garden implement.”
richmond500: he got if from a telegram group that shares porn videos. Just ignore what he said.
mrvitalis is just busy throwing figures around. If the naira true value is #2500/$, with the very poor intervention by the CBN under Cardoso, Aboki will be selling above 2400/$ by now
mrvitalis: I have always and will always complain about borrowing to build infrastructure
It's better to borrow to build infrastructure than to borrow to defend the naira. But I don't also agree with the way Tinubu has made the naira lose value
mrvitalis: Firstly there is no other solutions to Nigeria present economic pitfall than to borrow... Absolutely not
If we're go to go through your old comment now, you might have wailed in the past about how Buhari or Tinubu is borrowing, but because your messiah don talk am, you don't mind again
