1 trillion saved 🤔 and you went to borrow 500 billion for palliative? Tinubu make it make sense to ordinary Nigeria like myself here now.

If Mr. A is living in a rented apartment with his family at 300k monthly. Mr. A somehow loses ability to pay rent, he lost his job or got a pay cut. The rent doesn't stop counting but now accumulating and he's begging landlord to give him time. Suddenly, Mr. A doesn't need to pay rent again because he now moved to their family house. He has saved having to pay 300k monthly. He still has to pay his former debt and rent but has saved 3.6 million usually going into annual rent.

Blaze14k:
Ok health is the 25k increase for doctors, education is the bus for SUG of which we don't know how many. We still dey wait for infrastructure. Mind u that 25k is not up to a billion naira.

More than this, over time monies will be free to help improve primary healthcare and education sector. Building good schools and hospitals.

blowjohn:
The 800 million dollars plus all the monies repatriated frm abacha and the ones buhari borrowed cud have built us refineries

Okay, refineries in plural, right? How many? And how long to complete them?

kingi777:
Use the savings to refurbish our moribund refineries or build modular refineries in each state. Establish many compressed natural gas stations or other alternative fuels across states, cities and towns. Encourage solar powered electricity supply to support stability of normal conventional electricity supply across the country for at least 12 hours daily during day time eg 6am to 6pm.
Why is the President not even talking of solving the root problem of subsidy which is building refineries? I guess all these gimmicks is to prepare ground for the private refinery in Lagos to monopolise refining and sales of petroleum products so as to recoup the huge money they invested.

How much and how long does it take to build refineries? Have you not noticed that refineries can't work in Nigeria because of subsidy?

shortgun:
Clueless drug baron, you saved 1 trillion yet you borrowed 500b for consumption not even for infrastructure

Don't let your literacy go to waste, you can read the president's address of yesterday. If you think that is all consumption, shame on your education and your teachers.

abobote:
While thousands of Nigerians are dying as a result

Millions more will be saved, sorry about your thousands of dead friends.

Ofunaofu:
Saved

But where is the money?

It's simple logic. It's like if you used to transport yourself to work monthly for 50k and you got a place trekking distance from work. You've saved 50k that should have been transportation to work.
Or you used to spend 1million in 6months on accommodation, but you are currently staying free in a place courtesy of a friend. You've saved that 1 million that you usually sourced for accommodation. Now that Nigeria does not have to pay for subsidy, that debt is no more accumulating. Also, the gains made can be rechanneled to other things like health, education and infrastructure.

We are ready dear, we are ready for 6 months. Tinubu must cry and Buhari must be sad na, we are kuku jobless.

ThatCEO:
Talk dey sweet sha.

Let us agree on one thing. The current sufferings of Nigeria is not because of forex exchange but because of fuel hike.

So, if a person creates a fuel/energy crisis, the first thing I expect is for him to tackle that same crisis. Anything other than this makes d entire speech a hogwash.

Baba said he will dish out billions to businesses, release grains n fertilisers, but Baba made zero mention of how to deal with this fuel hike. D only thing he mentioned was about 3k CNG buses, but if I am able to access loan to buy a CNG bus, won't I be a compound fool if I don't charge my persengers like a normal fuel bus?

Is it that across all d appointees, there is no one with enough brain cells to tell him that "look, Baba, if we can't give these people a single refinery, n we can't subsidize fuel, but we hv d 12th largest gas reserve in the world, n those gases requires almost zero refining, why don't we shift these people to gas?"

I don't want subsidy back, but why has Baba not come out to tackle the fuel issue right at its source? Why are they running from CNG or even modular refinery?

Who are the people that own shares in Dangote refinery and why are they hell bent on forcing fuel on all of us, even tho we have gas. And exactly how many of those Dangote shareholders r currently in government?

I did the findings on CNG at Nipco. ₦4000 of CNG will power your 4 cylinder car for 150-160km. A 6 cylinder conversation costs almost 500k. If they place CNG conversion kit on list of items not liable to customs fees, the price will drop by up to 60% especially in places like Lagos. From here, they can now say, Oya go n convert your car at half the price, we will pay d other half.

But over their dead body will they make policies that will directly benefit us because their stinking fingers are all over the oil money of this country n they will do everything to ensure we all buy oil.

Nigeria does not have a fuel crisis issue, what we have are just leaders who will rather feast on our blood than make our lives easy cos their hands are deep in our common wealth.

Say whatever you like about Buhari, but Buhari had tasted some degree of poverty in his life at some point, n even tho he later lived in luxury as a president he still remembered that life is tough on the other side n didn't bring this sort of hardship on us at one fell swoop. These people have never spent their money on fuel since they started their political career n their convoy didn't reduce with fuel hike, u REALLY think they know what the price of fuel is? What we have now na, "may God help us."

You showed a high degree of ignorance in long words.

Shattuck:
then what is the purpose of screening then? Are you not suppose to judge their ability, knowledge understanding based on the ministry they plan to occupy? Is that not how things were done in the past? So why call it screening? What will the Senate then be accessing?

They were asked questions na, you can watch it or rewatch it on youtube. And also watch past screenings. Most of Nigeria's screening at Senate level is usually take a bow. i am not historically aware of any minister that did not pass Senate screening since 1999. No be by Senate screening or even CV. Minister's role is administrative. They are not expected to know how to sow cloth or cut hair or change oil filter.

SmartPolician:
You want to grill someone without knowing the ministerial position he is coming to occupy. Is it not when you know the position someone was appointed for before you assess his suitability? We are not serious in this country.

Duh, the President can swap ministerial roles at his discretion. They are not going there to chook injection.

LoLz, this one don dey receive ipob brainwashing small small.

i knew it that this guy is not well, someone cannot be doing like that and be well. May God heal him. They can take him to Redeem camp or to crusade.

Wailers must be made to wail, thanks Mr. President for helping people fulfill their destinies.

The President will somehow be blamed for this.

What palliative. People are not agreed on what is the right form of palliative so why should government share palliative for sharing sake. If they shared it since June, the people complaining will still have said it was shared among cronies.
The best palliative the FG can give will be seen from about 1year away, and that is massive investment and improvement in power, roads, education, health and infrastructure.
Any other palliative, ask your state government and Local government. Stop enabling corruption.

Wail o wailers, oh what a weeping and wailing. Unprecedented wailings of biblical proportions are reserved for sore losers for the next 8 years. It is their destiny, don't be surprised. They will gnash their teeth terribly even if they hear that the president drank water today.

What a weeping and wailing. Wailing of biblical proportions from sore losers all over.

RevenuesBoost:
They say God has a reason for everything

So what explanation can someone give me for

A woman that lost her baby during delivery

A woman whose husband was robbed and shot

A little girl who was raped

A shop that caught fire at night which was the only source of livelihood of the family

A man who was kidnapped, ransom paid but the kidnappers weren't merciful, they still killed him.

A child who lost both parents at a very tender age

A widow who got chased from her husband's house because she doesn't have a male child but two daughters

Community clashes which leads to loss of lives and properties

A car accident that claimed the lives of the whole family

Killing of Christians in a church

...

Who's to blame for the insecurity of human lives and properties

Everyone wouldn't want all these things I mentioned to happen to them.

Some will say you didn't pray well so Satan prevailed.
In all, most of these bad things happen to people whose name is prayer, if prayer was a person.

So who's to blame for all the bad happenings?

God or Satan?

Most of the blame is for man. We can decide most of these things.

The Nsogbu crooner. It is what it is.

Who be all these unknown men wey still dey give Obi lamba 2027 hope. Obi is gone forever, as in o ti lo. May Obi and his lamba type of politics never happen to Nigeria ever again.

LordReed:
That's an old wives tale. No one's life is determined by any devils or gods.

We can all see where your prayerlessness has led you, and how the devil has made a mess of you. Now all you do is to franctically look for how God will not exist, lolz.

Lamba don.

Jomonix:
I know you are too young to understand the damages. You will understand as you grow in experience.

You're too old to comprehend the backward move your movement is causing the whole region.

Fujiyama:
^^^


Nonsense.

The problem isn't thinking about or talking about the poor. The problem is laughing at them.

Don't try to create a diversion. It won't work.

Pele poor.

Fujiyama:
^^^
Oh be quiet. We aren't children here.

It's an insult to compare bigots, terrorists sympatizers and sore losers to children.

LordReed:
And you don't know the difference between non belief and disbelief. Go educate yourself.

Unbelief nko, educator.

LordReed:
No, I do not.

Isn't God wonderful?

Wetin wailers go gain if dem no wail?

Wailonitisis.

Workch:
Lol, LordReed. You just don't want to accept that we don't know if a god exist or not hence we should stop disbelieving it or believing it.

He's a man deeply frustrated by people's prayers. Don't blame him much.

LordReed:
Oga call yourself anything you want that's your business. You asked for my opinion and I have given it. Did I ask you to change the label you use for yourself?

Tell him the truth, a sinner is a sinner no matter the name you call yourself.
