During APC's presidential primary, Tinupooo used tens of thousands of dollars to bribe delegates to win that primary. Where did he get the dollars? Oga is like a big thie.f chasing after small thie.ves. Politicians like your Tinupooo have hard dollar/foreign currencies and billions of Nigeria packed in the cubicles and warehouses. Those are the major problem of Nigeria and Naira's free fall. They mop up any dollar pumped into the economy with billions of stolen naira to gain more when scarcity increases. The Nigerian crypto people will still have their ways to trade and maneuver, what you need to do is to caught off the internet into the country if you want achieve result.

When Ibeto cement was leading they crumbled his business due to ha.te for Igbo.tribe, frustrated his business just to favour Dangote and BUA... I mean a special monopoly was given to them, especially Dangote cement that even the bank of industry gave them billions of naira as loan. Now, what's the result? You are now begging them to reduce price of commodities. Nobody should have a monopoly of any business in Nigeria no matter the tribe, open competition is the best policy that drives prices of products down.

During election they will still give them another bread or 1k to endure with for another 4 years. Naija don cast. What baffles me is how I got to exist in the same space and share same country with this kind of people.

It's earlier southern governors start investing massively in agriculture and food processing industries, providing trucks to convey the food items produced to those industries and market destinations. When the northern politicians who used Fulan!s terrorists to stop Southerners from farming their lands, block food from coming down the south, food inflation and hunger will be more in the south. Hunger doesn't understand that you have a house, not a farm.

This is no longer funny. The rate at which naira is falling against foreign currencies is fearful. I have made a few suggestions that should strengthen our naira and revive our economy.

1. Stop selling our crude oil dollars. You import and buy in dollar. You also export and sell in dollars. It makes Naira useless. Foreign countries coming to buy our crude or any other products should buy in Naira. It will raise the value of naira.

2. The government should embark on massive industrialization. They should stop importing items we can produce. I feel like crying when I see the millions of Keke imported to Nigeria all over the nation. Can we produce Keke aka tricycle? Are we cursed. There are millions of items we have no business importing.

3. Our borders should be fenced round to reduce smuggling. It's a huge project but it can be done. If they can lay pipe from niger Delta to the north, they can do it. Our open borders makes it easier for terrorism to thrive.

4. The government should take the agricultural sector very serious. We are so blessed and our land is fertile. They should not leave agriculture to peasant farmers.

5. Our railway network should improve. It will reduce the overhead cost on food items caused by high cost of transportation.

6. Build gas stations all over the country and encourage people to convert to gas. It's for cheaper than petrol.

7. Give loans to small scale businesses so they can grow their business and help strengthen the economy of the country.

8. Stop importing refined petroleum products. It gives room for fraud. Make all our refineries work.

9. Make every political office holder account for funds they are given for certain project. And punish without mercy those who misuse or divert public funds for private use.

10. Pass a bill that makes contract inflation a criminal offense. A contract that can be carried out for 500 million will be put at 10 billion so they can have money to share. This is destroying our economy.

You're advising a crim!nal. It's useless to him. You're probably one of those that voted him, I guess? If that's so, then wait for the consequences of your insensitivity and actions if you haven't started experiencing it. All of you that voted this clueless criminal in power for tr!balism sake, the consequences of your actions will be massive that it will go beyond you.

God will definitely punish all those who brought this agent of darkness on Nigeria, one way or the other. The wicked will never go unpunished says my God.

Meti99:
The funny reality is that the negotiated minimum wage will be bargained from #1,000,000 to #50,000 and the NLC will become the joke of the century

Sad outcome we don't want.

Expect 60-90k as new minimum wage at the end. Meanwhile, ordinary Local government councillor, House of rep, or senators with only O'level degree are collecting millions legally minus the billions they're stealing directly or indirectly. Government of doom.

If I have the finances I won't even hesitate to leave Nigeria and never return. I had one opportunity but I'm scared the guy is a gay. I don't want someone to force me into gay because he assisted me.

When people say there is enjoyment in nigeria, it's about the communality, food, being the default, lack of civic responsibilitiee, and "freedom in chaos" such as hook up, bribery, abusing others ( eg sales girl, house boy) etc

Apart from these, I don't know exactly how Nigeria is fun. If one have adapted to their new home, it's far better fun than what's obtainable in naija

How can you enjoy a place with no light, dirty beaches that's not free, no free museum, architecture, library, etc?

And a preventable situation such as bad roads, dumb police officers and bad medical care can kill you in an instant?

Also, your money can only go far in a functioning society. It takes me about 20euros to fly from Amsterdam to the Spanish islands in Africa (Gran Canaria) , but can same amount take you from Lagos to Abuja by flight?

If I dump you in the desert with a million usd suitcase, your money becomee useless, just because the desert can't convert your cash to value.

It's the same thing with being wealthy in Nigeria. Hopefully the drugs you bought for headache is not fake. Imagine paying for your death.

So no, there is no enjoyment in a dysfunctional system. Just that human natures will adapt to bad situations and create fun in it. Just as the kids in the ghetto are having fun, but it's not good life.

You're right.
Help me relocate. I'm an academia, teaching in a university. I'm just tired. Lack the finances to go about it.

I know his and his drum-beater's intentions are to keep Igbos out of business in Lagos but he will fail in his ev!l intentions against the Igbos in Lagos.

What will scatter this country will start from the north, and it will spread. Let every region go their separate ways nothing is enjoyable again being called Nigerian.

The country is still in balablu, we're yet to enter bulaba. I saw it coming This was the song I sang and it was released globally on May 29, 2023. Check it on Spotify, Audiomack, Apple music, etc.

I don't think this guy understand the situation of thing Africa now. The insecurity and coup d'etat, coupled with poverty. No country in Africa is in good shape now. Let the bad guys not dev0ur you. For me I can't embark on that journey. Even if I will, not this period because it's to risky. Good luck though.

Mu.mu government headed by a thievf

When a thief cum clueless is in power expect nothing good but backwardness.
Everyday we pray against criminals and bi.gots think such a person bring boom to Nigeria. I laugh them. Road still long to start shouting or crying.

Vanity of life, all is vanity. All those riches won't follow him to the grave.
If I have that kind of money, I will build a simple house for myself and family, then money for the upkeep of my family, the rest will go to my foundation to be used in helping people and giving them hope.

Una neva see chomtin sef. Bi.gots

Senseless govt. When hunger is killing Nigerians, politicians are keen to wastages. Irresponsible and illegitimate government that's their characters.

The governor is illegitimate to start with, like Enugu like Imo. The two governors are hellbent in selfish agenda and selling Igbo land to appease their slave master. No legitimate Igbo southeast governor will think of such. It's better IPOB go after these use!ess governors in the East.

A crim!nal and his gang in power cannot offer Nigerians any good, mark my words. His bad omen will always work against him, and so shall it be to his supporters

It's already benefitting them and their families, m.umu.u people

Your husband grabbed power and just barely 8 months Nigerians are already dying of hunger. Emilokan people m.u.m.u. if thu.n.der no fire una make I know why.

Can you just imagine the extent this level of stealing has been going on all these years.
Untill the main actors are arrested and sent to life in jail then this madness can never stop.
The main actors are the elite in our society, the so called shakers and movers of our society are the ones who can bank toll these kind of operation.

The few of us that do own ships and super tanker will not and cam never Indulge in such sabotage.
Our so called politicians should be watched

You own a ship or boat?

Shege banza promax never start sef, it's still warming up and it will donate massively in your houses, you ev!l people.

The hike is to make the thief in power to have more available Money to loot and launder.
They don't care about the commiserate increase in the prices of goods in the country and poverty increase it would cause.

We all know what happened, voters suppression as much they can, if it's not APC don't come close. You can't tell me if we have free and fair election that APC will win and local government with the way the economy is in Nigeria presently.
Even if PDP teems up with LP, APC will still apply that master rigging plan and rig themselves to power, it's as bad as it is. Check Kogi, check Imo, etc.
All the same they have the man in INEC to do their bidding in case things go south.

Shege banza promax never even do 1 year una don dey para...

People who are leaving the country because of worsening economy and insecurity are the ones buying the dollar, making it scarce and the price to rise. If Nigeria was working we won't have mass exodus of Nigerians and businesses leaving the country. Solution is fix the country. But unfortunately, balablue bulaba is an illegitimate president and has nothing to offer.
