[quote author=chatinent post=131885303]₦1200/litre today.

NNPC is selling ₦800 and sth per litre.

What about you?[/qu wote]


1,300 in Warri. The overfed father of starving children is doing well.

Fellow Nigerians, it's with a deep sense of sadness but determination that I address you today.

Sadness because of the hunger and anger in the land.

Although the fuel subsidy removal was done with the best of intention for our dear country, as we could no longer sustain the trillions being paid out, the unintended effects have necessitated a suspension of this policy.

The fuel subsidy removal is hereby suspended for six months and petroleum products prices back to their pre subsidy removal level.

Within these six months, NNPC must complete repair works on our three refineries
The goal is that together with the Dangote refinery, we shall become self sufficient in our petroleum products needs.

I have directed the heads of NNPC and NUPRC to handover to their most senior colleagues and proceed on immediate retirement.

Security

The war against banditry, kidnapping and terrorism must be won and soon. I've instructed the heads of the armed forces to draw up timelines and strategies to achieve our goals.

Failure to meet up with these set targets would attract consequence management.

The NSA under my instruction have set up a whistle blowing system where issues pertaining to the welfare of our armed forces, especially those on the field, would be brought directly to my attention

Employment

The teaming population of our youths must be positively harnessed for national development.

I have directed the establishment of large scale farms and agro-, allied industries across all the states, taking into cognizance their comparative advantages.

Government shall incentivize the private sector to explore and exploit our solid mineral endowment for the benefits of our youths.

Already established youth empowerment schemes shall be adequately funded and monitored to achieve set targets.

Cost of Governance

I am in agreement with you all that our present structure and cost of governance is unsustainable.

To this end, I've undertaken the following:

1. An overhaul of the Presidential fleet with a view to either sell off or commercialize at least two.
2. The outright sale of the president yacht.
3. Reduction by 50% of my allowances and that of my ministers.

I have directed the attorney general of the federation to in liaison with the necessary bodies, undertake a review of our national legislative structure. The aim is to operate a unicameral legislature that would run on part time basis.

I am not unaware that the aforementioned measures would be met with resistance by entrenched interest groups, bent on carrying on business as usual. I shall relentlessly pursue these reforms.

Let me sound a note of warning. While government recognizes your lawful right to protest, this right is neither a coverage for acts of arson and vandalism, nor criminal elements and enemies of state bent furthering their evil agenda.

The full weight the law, our armed forces and other agencies shall be brought to bear on them

Fellow Nigerians, I appeal to you to call off the strike immediately. Your voice have been heard loud and clear.

My government shall update you on steps taken to implement what have been said.

Nigeria shall be great again, and in our time.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

God bless you all.

putting Catholic among ur writeup shows you know nothing about Christianity.

The foundation of whatever you have as Christianity you now boast of started from the Catholic Church.

You can preach Christianity without insulting yourself and others. I see nothing but desperate tomfoolery.

Not true. The Christian church started at Jerusalem where Jesus told the apostles to wait till they receive the power of the Holy Spirit. They were then empowered to spread the good news to Judea, Samaria , Rome and other parts of the world.

Sadly, the branch in Rome became paganized, but used their access to political power to start persecuting those who refused to accept her state backed authority.

No need to pay. I'll rather raise a million naira for solar or other alternative energy source.

Do you people actually make money from this crypto true true?

I don't even take anyone into this crypto thing seriously, it's same as betnaija gambling to me and if not why is it only men that do the crypto thing and the very few women involved are tomboy?

Crypto currency for your info, is the next stage in the evolution of money. From trade by barter to cowries, to coins, notes, ATM cards, apps and codes, money has now advanced to crypto currencies... And yes, you can make big millions within a short time and lose too. You'll need a mentor to guide you.

Election have consequences.

For daring to use N43m instead of N298m to reconstruct the burnt gov house, and then used N80m instead of N500m to reconstruct the gov lodge, Obi was impeached!

This was after he refused the plea of traditional rulers and other stakeholders to meet the 'legislathieves' half-way.

Yet, some people are saying "what would Obi have done differently? "

chatinent:
I didn't really see what he did to gain the recognition.

Eyah, kpele. It's not easy to be blind.

The government should organize a counter protest, praising her for the ways things are moving so well...

You can snatch, grab and run with power, but don't know what to do or how to use it for the good of the people.

This nonsensical cosmetic approach will not work.

Tackle the fundamentals. They include

1. Systemic and endemic corruption. Imagine the billions used in settling retired military personnel, the judiciary, legislators. None of which added any productive value to the economy

2. Show example by buying made in Nigeria goods n services. From cars, to education, Medicare, etc.

3. Fix the refineries.

4. Fix Electricity.

5. Leverage on technology to create jobs in agriculture, FinTech n other sectors.

6. Provide low interest loans to SME. Let this money get to those who really need it.

7. Move the economy away from consumption based to that of production.

Etc.

A supplementary budget is a budget made for very important national welfare needs of the people which were not captured originally in the main budget, or do not have adequate funding.

Sadly, the most pressing national needs and emergencies have not featured in the supplementary budget that was just announced by the government. For example, the United Nations and World Food Programme have recently alerted that up to 6.5 million Nigerians will go hungry next year.

This number is largely from among citizens in Sokoto, Adamawa, Borno, Yobe, and Zamfara States. A caring Government in order to plan for the mitigation of such pending catastrophe can request for supplementary budget provisions to cushion those under threat.

No item of urgent social welfare has yet featured in the supplementary budget being orchestrated by this government. Instead, the items being made to dominate public discourse on the budget include a mysterious Presidential Yacht, Presidential Jets, the furnishing of already lavishly furnished presidential quarters and offices, fleets of luxury SUVs etc. This portrays a Government that is totally uncaring and insensitive to the suffering of the majority, and indifferent to the mood of the nation.

The government’s overall attitude does not indicate that it is aware that the country is in a huge crisis, nor is the government in tune with the plight of the generality of our people. Even worse is the fact that most of the funding for these profligate expenditures will be

largely borrowed. The least that Nigerians expect from the government at this difficult moment is empathy and realism, not lavish indulgence." -PO

My younger one had a similar experience. His wife left for UK having secured a nursing job, leaving him and their little daughter behind.

He just joined her now and the family is together again after about 5 months.

Get a relation to assist you in caring for your baby. It'll be tough n your wife too, n I bet she'll do all within her power to see you all together again as a family.

Naira land tribal bigots and ethnic champions will not like this.

This is foolishness. 70% of our demand for dollars comes from buying petroleum products which we should be exporting. Buhari was president and petroleum minister for 8 good year's n none of the refineries worked! Even the hastily commission Dangote refinery is not ready.

Add the endemic corruption of the ruling class, poverty of leadership plus borrowing for consumption, you'll get a clear picture of who is responsible for the weak naira.

Following the failure to pay some Super Falcons their entitlements for the past two years, and to forestall similar occurrence, FIFA has decided to the players the money for their qualification into the next stage, directly into their account.

This is the first time that the football body would be doing so, as against the usual practice of paying them through their Football body.

Congratulations to our girls and shame on NFF leaders. This in a saner climes would lead to their resignation or sack and prosecution.

Nothing is as deadly as the mixture of poverty and illiteracy.

There seem to be no end to how low these miscreants can go to advertise their Stockholm syndrome.

* 70 billion for national house of assembly members, which translates to 149m each.

* 40 billion for SUVs

* 35 billion to National Judicial Council

* Retired Generals package: 4 bullet proof cars, 2 cooks, 2 stewards, 1 gardener, 9 guards, free medical cover home and abroad, etc.

* Fuel now N617

* $/N = 840

* N8k for 12,000,000 Nigerians, for 6 months.

If you like nor get sense and look for ways to generate additional income. Na you sabi.

The bottom line is all 9ja girls are ashawo both the ones forming GF or church girl. They are all the same.

The fact that you have never caught your babe doing ashawo, doesn't mean she is not an ashawo

So who are they 'ashawoing' with?
Men are even more guilty than women.
Absence of fear of God is a root cause among other reasons.

[quote author=SalamRushdie post=124020331]So you beleive Akpabio or you are just deliberately doing so so you can sell your funny business

The focus like you guessed is not whether Akpabio is saying the truth or not. It's on the massive opportunity and potentials in the telecom sector.

I'm not inviting you to my business, but to setup yours and earn thousands daily like I do.

✳️If Akpabio, the senate president can donate (dash) Wike N200m from the profit of his investment in the telecom sector, why are you not investing in it?

✳️If the banks are raking in billions through their VTU portal, what are you waiting for?

Yes, you may not have millions like Akpabio or the banks, but with a minimum of 10k, you can setup your own VTU just like the banks and earn thousands daily when you and others buy airtime, data, pat for cable TV subscription or PHCN bills. I'm talking from experience.

Check this out

If you're not an investor in the telecom sector, you're missing a lot.

✳️. The fuel price increase and high cost of living is driving many personal and business activities online.

✳️ Kwara and Edo state government has reduced working and school days from 5 to 3. Many activities are now done online.

✳️ Businesses that refuses to have an online presence will become disadvantaged competitively and will eventually be offline.

✳️ Jamb is considering allowing students use their mobile phones to write the exam.

Take my free advice. Invest in the telecom sector today!

As a student of end-time Bible prophecy the outcome of the Russian-Ukraine war is clear to me.

This is because it is a proxy war with the West and by extension, the United States of America.

Revelation 13 identifies the US, as the 2nd end-time beast that'll mobilize the world to make an image of the first beast of Rev 13. The implies that the United States will get stronger and stronger in her political power and influence.

Beasts, by the way, refer to countries and their political power in relation to the cosmic battle between Christ and Satan, good and evil, light and darkness, that is entering its final phase.

Rev 13:15 says "And he had the power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."

Let me state here that I'm neither an admirer of the United States nor Putin, although I like Putin's anti-homosexual stand.

I am not unaware that this post shall meet with derision and even insult from the ignorant.

The Bible you see is far more current than CNN, BBC, AJAZERA, Arise TV, Channels, etc.

It is history in advance. It's a divine record of the origin and destiny of man.

Shalom.

Even though I'm a born again Christian, I will like to use this opportunity to wish our Muslim brothers and sisters a peaceful Ramadan. May Allah accept your Ibadah. We Christians and Muslims are one, only unscrupulous politicians like Peter Obi try to divide us for selfish gains.

By their fruits we shall know them. Real born again don't go announcing themselves and don't use foul language.

Imperialist economic prescription. Imagine the twin effect of subsidy removal and increased taxation in an economy that hosts one of the highest concentrations of the poor.

Any suggestion that the money saved would be used to help the economy is balderdash... The same argument right from the days of IBB.

I agree that the subsidy should be removed but only after our refineries are functioning again. Otherwise, inflated figures for imported petroleum products would necessitate a new subsidy regime.

As for increased taxation, it is the height of wickedness on an already pauperized masses with record level unemployment and poverty.

A better approach would be to improve the productive capacities of Nigerian economy through agrarian revolution, regular power supply, SME financing, etc.

The cost of governance should be drastically reduced starting with a unicameral legislature, slash in salaries and other benefits, a removal of the outrageous and evil pension for governors and their ilks, etc.

Woe to them that calls evil good, and good evil. The church should be ashame of herself.

Homosexuality is unscientific, an aberration and abomination.

This is so heartbreaking, Nigerians are truly suffering in this hard times.. may God touch the heart of a good samaritan to help you dear

Stop using bots to display likes n pls stop trying to scam people. Aren't you tired of posting this on all post or topics?

Ongoing feelers nationwide points to the reality of the people's revolution personified by the ObiDatti's movement.

What PDAPC don't know is that this election is that of the people vs their internal colonial masters masquerading as leaders.

So far, Obi is sweeping the entire South South, South East with a strong showing in the South West. Middle belt having suffered the brunt of terrorist attacks are unashamedly obedient.

Except for the core north even central may cast protest vote for Obi.. Protest against the endless killings suffered by them.

Funny enough, what is suppose to be Atiku's strong hold is being diluted by Kwankwanso grassroots appeal and the waning vestige of APC governor's power.

Whichever way you look at it, there's no denying that power indeed belongs to the people.

Wow! I'm 54 years old and voted for the first time ever along with my wife for P.O.

The people's revolution is real.. Obi is sweeping Delta. In my polling Unit it was

LP = 200
APC = 6
PDP= 1

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, I and all Nigerian Christians will vote against Peter Obi because he's a divisive and dangerous catholic that must not be given the mantle of leadership. We Christians will rather vote for a Muslim than a bigot like Obi

Stop lying...and don't be a shame of who you truly are. No born again talks like this or uses this accursed words.
