Hmmm. Protectionism.

Now you know before you start complaining that customs siezed your goods or containers. Do not bring those items into Nigeria, if you do, they shall be siezed , burnt and all your funds lost.

For those ignorant of the reason and the benefits of protectionism, free yourself of hate and bigotry and get educated that protectionism is in your interest to give you jobs that can cure you of idleness.For the few ones among you uncouth, badly raised, lazy and idle youths who are ready and willing to work and end the idle life style of social media addiction, protectionism will create more jobs and credible alternatives for you

Reasons for Protectionism
An economy usually adopts protectionist policies to encourage domestic investment in a specific industry. For instance, tariffs on the foreign import of shoes would encourage domestic producers to invest more resources in shoe production.

In addition, nascent domestic shoe producers would not be at risk from established foreign shoe producers. Although domestic producers are better off, domestic consumers are worse off as a result of protectionist policies, as they may have to pay higher prices for somewhat inferior goods or services. Protectionist policies, therefore, tend to be very popular with businesses and very unpopular with consumers.

Advantages of Protectionism
More growth opportunities: Protectionism provides local industries with growth opportunities until they can compete against more experienced firms in the international market
Lower imports: Protectionist policies help reduce import levels and allow the country to increase its trade balance.
More jobs: Higher employment rates result when domestic firms boost their workforce
Higher GDP: Protectionist policies tend to boost the economy’s GDP due to a rise in
domestic production.

Although I see your point, protectionism can encourage monopoly, with consumers having to pay more for less quality.

A preferable option is higher tariff on these goods.

Besides, shouldn't the government lead the way by banning importation of petroleum products?

It's hypocrisy to import fuel, diesel, kerosene and then ban clothing.

CalabarPikin:
The false report about his alleged death read:

Man Whose Wife Died Weeks Ago Chasing "Side-Chick" in Calabar Has Finally Died.

Sonnie Bassey has been on coma due to shock having lost his wife in fatal accident while she was chasing him and his mistress.

Sonnie finally lost the battle and he has finally gone to meet his late wife leaving behind their children.

Sad.

RIP.

Wife na shark, side chic sef na whale.

Well, she should be happy that a black guy is even fvcking her fat dilapidated ass, because no white dude would wanna settle down for a shark like her.

White guys really have good taste when it comes to selecting the type of women they want, they detest fat ladies, but you see our black guys especially Nigerian Guys, they don't have good taste for women.

Nigerian Guys can date shapeless ladies with protruding belly. No wonder Nigerian girls are becoming so shapeless day-by-day because they know we don't have good taste for women.

Mehn! What manner of childishness or foolishness is this?

What a contradiction... Lying is obviously an official policy of your party. The Young Supporting the Old? When it should be the Old supporting the Young.

Woe to them that call darkness light, that call evil, good.

For your info... There's an ongoing people's revolution that'll take back our country from political vultures and scavengers.

For your own good and that of your children, vote wisely.

aajibeye:
Certainly, you cant cheat nature.. tinubu is human..let's remember that we all have blood running through our veins.. say NO to politics of bitterness..

Shame on you. Woe to those who call evil , good and good, evil. Someone doze off on a visit to solicit for support in is un-presidential ambition, and you think it's natural?

Tinubu is old, frail, increasingly senile and you want to entrust the fate of over 200m Nigerians to his hands?

Suffer neva taya you?

"Obi's Missionary Notes"

Peter Obi's first missionary journey to Europe and America.

"I bring greetings from our brethren in Nigeria.

My beloved Datti whom I left behind send his regards. He has been of much help to me in my journey to rescue our dear country.

Those of the household of Labour Party send their greetings. Providence has deem it fit that they be the vehicle for this movement.

May the Lord grant us victory to His glory and the blessing of our dear country.

Ekejoestar:
One would assume that he is the incumbent president, every one is campaigning against him.

APC deployed their arsenal of propaganda against him, Pdp is always talking about him.

All the political parties have attacked him directly, not through their supporters oo but direct confrontation, yet he never raised his voice to attack any of his opponents and that makes me wonder why are they so much afraid of this man that they are ready to fight dirty against him.

Many articles have been written against him lately, but no strong proof if evidence has been presented by his attackers.

This is a man that was barely known in Nigeria national political space few months ago, except when he ran under Atiku as vice in 2019.

They said he doesn't have a national structure (of big men of the political underworld) but his answer is that ORDINARY NIGERIANS ARE HIS STRUCTURE, he so much trust in Nigeria and Nigerians that he believes that things will fall in place for the betterment of Nigeria when the time comes.

He has never in all his interviews asked electorates not to vote for his opponents but his message has always been " get your PVC and vote wisely".

Peter Obi is a typical example of a tsunami, it moves with force to the extent that everything in it's path revolves around it.

All the other political parties find their daily relevance only by talking about Peter Obi yet he never talks about them but his daily song is "I want to move Nigeria from consumption to production, I want Nigeria that NIGERIANS will be proud to call their home, I want to reverse our brain drain to brain achievements and recognition.

***Drops pen***

God bless you.


Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come. At last the long suffering people of Nigeria has decided to confront their internal colonial masters, political vultures and scavengers and nothing can stop them.

Light dispels darkness. Truth evaporates falsehood. The long awaited people's revolution is finally underway personified by Peter Obi.

A political analyst that cannot discern the times. A so-called analyst that does not recognize the ongoing people's revolution as embodied by the OBIDATTI movement.

One good thing about what's happening is that it has exposed many cashivist who have been masquerading as activist.

A better Nigeria is PO-ssible. Vote Character, Capacity, Competence and Commitment.

Gistsme1:

https://fij.ng/article/fact-check-did-elon-musk-declare-support-for-peter-obi/

This tactics of creating a video of a popular person endorsing Obi, only to refute it is becoming stale....

We know those behind it.

Just as light dispels darkness, truth evaporates falsehood. It clears the misty haze of lies, making vision, direction and progress possible. The Obidient movement is the light and truth of a new Nigeria.

Asiwaju bola Ahmed Tinubu and Gej held hand to a private room for a close door meeting during Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to former president good luck Jonathan house in Abuja

What I see is Jonathan holding Tinubi's hand to support and obviously frail and old man.

apache22b:
Buhari will be a child's play compared to the hardship that will befall this Country if Peter Obi becomes the President of this great Nation.

Atrocities to expect in Peter Obi and his Obidient urchins government
1. Thuggery
2. Kidnapping
3. Nepotism
4. Corruption Pro Max
5. Lies, deceit and more lies ,even Lai Muhammed will become a Saint
6. Terrorism unabated
7. Killings and extra judicial killing
8. Government of the Obidient's urchins,by the Obidient's urchins and for the Obidient's urchins.
9. Lack of jobs for our graduates
10. Inflation, hardship, more hardship and Pro hardship. Just to mention a few

Falseprophet1 tell them the truth before it's too late, how long will you continue to hide ?

My fellow youths, will you allow all these and more to befall us ? Think of the future of your children before casting your vote .

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the only man and the best man for the office of the President

My fellow youths vote Wisely for Tinubu , let's give him our Bloc votes for a better country for us all .

I won't say this again , Peter Obi and his Obidient urchins are all failures and they have absolutely nothing to offer.

What manner of foolishness and stupidity is this?

SenecaTheYonger:
Wow, what happened? No single BBN thread hit FP all week, I forgot the show was still on. What’s happening? The show dead?

Peter Obi is the reason. Obidients are too focused to be distracted by common Bbnaija.

The arrogance and audacity of failure is sickening and must be punished in the polls next year. No PDP, No APC!

Moh247:




May all those who mock Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his old age at 70 never see the prime age of 70

As he has laboured had on NADECO fight for democracy, sacrificed for AD, AC, ACN , APC all those who wish his labour should go in vain shall suffer in vain

.

So you actually believe he's 70 years old?

This man is really not serious

So you’ve not receive pension .. how is that anybody’s bussines..
you wear one watch .. how’s that anyhumans bussiness

Your son no get car.. how’s that our business

You’re stingy with public funds .. wetin you come carry a.m. do?
Meaning you lack ideas . Simply reason you couldn’t invest it and the next government merry it away

I don’t understand Obi

All I know is that he’s IPOB and Ekpa Simeon candinate
A vote for obi is a vote for a national Monday sit at home

A vote for obi will see IPOB and Ekpa burn Nigeria and Nigerians

A vote for obi is a vote for wide spread cannibalism and another level of inter state criminality of IPOB and esn

They will forcefully enlist your state youth into esn and IPOB and brainwashed them to kill you people in your state

A vote for obi is a vote for religious intolerance and rise in demonic worship as seen in Anambra State

What has obi done in anambra to help fight esn and IPOB

Ekpa and IPOB follows him on Twitter

Has obi ever caution them even when the killing and cannibilization was on heat in anambra ..

It took Soludo efforts ..

Meanwhile OBi was in the state all along

Nigerian youths are wiser than IPOB bingos

Only foolish Nigerian citzens will vote Obi

Power to the people
North 2023

What manner of illogicality and stupidity is this?

At 87 years, senility, unsteady hands, diminished physical and metabolical abilities makes him highly unsuitable for even a local government councilor.

Note: His Wikipedia account have been edited to cover his real age.

To start with Tinubi is 87 years old having been born in 1935. I'm sure you would not employ him as a bank manager, lecturer or supervisor in your company if you had one.

Besides, his grasp of economics is outdated. He recently said those who are not importers need not bother with the increase in the dollar naira rate because they'll be paid in naira....a statement that reflects macro economic and financial illiteracy.

If you add the fact of his drug case in the United States, controversy surrounding his educational qualification to mention a few, you'll agree that it'll be foolish to entrust the destiny of over 200 million Nigerians in his hands.

Righteousness2:
Very Foolish action.
The punishment she would have faced here on earth cannot in anyway be compared to the consequence of suicide.

Suicide is not a means of Escape. Let no man or spirit deceive you. Suicide is straight to Hell Fire. And no hunger, pain or punishment here on earth can be compared to what is in Hell.

The dead do not go straight to heaven or hell, rather they remain in the grave until the day if resurrection.

"Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." John 5:28-29

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:" 1 These 4:16-17

" But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."
Rev 20:4-6

Besides, God who is love does not and will not burn sinners in hellfire for eons of years, without end. The wages of sin is death, not eternal life in hellfire.

Don't get me wrong, hellfire will be fire sent from heaven to destroy the wicked and burn them to ashes at the end of time. Sin and sinners will be no more and affliction shall not arise a second time.

1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. Malachi 4:1 and 3

9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. Rev 20:9.

Note: This is the second death. The fire that came down from heaven DEVOURED them.

Shalom.

God1000:
I've heard several stories like that, but I don't know how true it is.

Only mortuary attendants can answer this question, can a corpse really wake up momentarily in the middle of night and start tormenting workers in the morgue facility

I only know little about life, there's so much mysterious things happening which we are not aware of.

Death is the opposite of life. The dead know nothing, absolutely nothing! For the day they die, their thoughts, plans, dreams etc perish with them and they've no part again in anything that's under the sun.

Stories of so-called dead person's appearing are demons masquerading as dead relatives...that's why the Bible calls them familiar Spirit.

Oh that the living will look unto the Lord, but alas! They seek for answers among the dead. What an irony!

The farmers who are daily being killed, the youths who are not only deprived of schooling but employment, the bereaved family members of those who have been killed by terrorists and the millions of Nigerians that have suffered untold hardship under PDP and APC. ...these are the people spending their own money to campaign for Obi. They're the elites and his structures.

My Encounters with Peter Obi as a Student.

It was a hot afternoon, and I was in my classroom ( Lake City Secondary School Nri, Anaocha LGA, Anambra State)
Suddenly, the school bell rang (an emergency call).

The entire school hurriedly assembled at the assembly ground. Lo and behold, the State Governor was in our school - in flesh and blood - unannounced. He came in a coaster bus with almost half of his commissioners.

Teachers started scampering, trying to get the students well dressed and composed to welcome the governor. Being one of the most outspoken junior students, my English teacher, within a few minutes, prepped me on how to respond to the questions the governor might ask. In case he insists on hearing from a junior student.

Mr Peter Obi, spoke to us about his plans to transform education in Anambra. He went ahead to ask us what we needed in our school. He insisted that he'll hear from the students first before the teachers. His aides were busy writing down our suggestions while he listened keenly. We asked for a computer lab with actual, functioning computers, pipe-born water, science equipment and the renovation of dilapidating blocks.

Afterwards, he inspected some of the classroom blocks that were already dilapidating, our school library and science laboratories - already taken over by weeds.

After the inspection, he promised us that the government will provide all we've asked for and he left.

Few weeks later, a team of technicians arrived at our school and commenced the borehole drilling. In a matter of days, clean water was already running.

They installed the tank and taps at different points within the school compound. The borehole was powered by solar energy. That was my first time seeing solar panels. "MDG GOAL" was boldly written on the water tank.

Before the intervention we had no free access to clean water. It's either you drank from the lake behind our school or you bought sachet water from the school canteen. Not many students could afford to buy, so a majority drank from the lake.

You can imagine our joy when water began to flow in school.

Soon after, renovation work commenced on our science laboratories and library.

The renovation was completed in a few months and the lab equipment and computer sets were set up.

Few years later, I became the Senior Prefect.

One morning, the principal called me out of the class and told me to get ready, that I'll be accompanying him to Onitsha and we'll leave in 15 minutes.

I packed my school bag and dropped it with my cousin.

When we arrived at Shanahan Hall, Holy Trinity cathedral, Onitsha, we observed that the governor had summoned the principals and Senior Prefects of all the secondary schools in Anambra.

To our amazement, he gave out cheques in millions to all the schools. I received a cheque of ₦2m on behalf of my school for the renovation of our hall.

What was awe-inspiring was that the governor gave the students his phone number and asked us to call him if we find out that our principals are not using the money given to the school judiciously.

That's the man Peter Obi.
