Waste of time.
It shouldn't take two days to determine the next policies to screw Nigerians over. They can start with taxing the air people breathe to ensure steady flow of funds to loot. I wonder what other gimmick they will come up with after the failed cyber security levy.

We have more economist in the classroom, professors for that matter, their wealth of knowledge are caged at our nation's university gate.

Is like those presiding over the economy of this country are people without economic mgt background. The economy seems to be getting worse on daily basis? Many Nigerians this days can't afford the high cost of medication in government owned federal medical centers. Inflation is at it's peak. What a country!

/
You are correct about the Nigerian economists wasting in classrooms with useless theories. But there is nothing the economists can do. How do you advise deaf politicians whose interests are only to loot enough for their immediate families? Every president knows how to fix Nigeria but none is willing to step on toes to achieve it. The worst part is that the FGN has totally handed over the economy to IMF. There is no sense of panic or emergency in the Presidency as Nigeria heads to abyss economically.

Adeboye should do a crusade in Sambisa forest.

I am sure God will want him to bring repentant Boko Haram and ISWAP members to the body of Christ. Who knows? They may even tithe 10% of their ransom to him after all the only god he worships is money. It is understandable that as a human he "loves" money but the insatiable appetite for money is what puts him close to satan.

I just had a nasty experience at the Indian consulate in Ho Chi Minh City.

Here is the entire story:

On Friday, I went to the Indian consulate in HCMC to apply for one month tourist visa, after booking online the previous night. On getting to the consulate, the lady at the reception took my documents inside and after a while, returned to tell me that my visa has been granted in principle. That i have been issued with a single entry visa. However, I must pay 6.3000,000.00 VND about $250. I was shocked when I heard this because I already paid the agent that booked the appointment $100 thinking it included visa fees. They said it was because I’m a Nigerian and we are charged higher. Nevertheless, I decided to go ahead and pay the amount to save myself further stress. But the lady again, insisted I must pay cash.

I called a Vietnamese lady who accompanied me and she helped provide the balance because I had only 3+ million VND with me.

After paying, they collected my passport, Vietnamese visa and then conducted biometrics on me. Then I left.

This morning, I received a call from the consulate that I have to pay another 8 million VND otherwise my visa would not be issued to me. I was shocked and I told them that I can't pay a dime again. They either issue my visa or refund my money. The lady agreed that I should come and get the refund. However, on getting to the consulate, they refused to give me the refund. That it was a new policy. Eventually, I left with my passport. No visa! no $250!

I'm currently feeling robbed and dehumanized. I don't know how to go about this to seek justice.

Pls can anyone help me with advise or pro bono services because I believe I have a good case and such inhuman acts shouldn't be allowed.

Follow it up.

Meanwhile follow rule #1 --Do not go where you are not welcomed. Sometimes you Nigerians are too desperate to go to hell as long as there is visa involved.

Tourist visa to India? Wetin you dey find?

I don't understand the verdict.

How is that embezzlement? The morons pouring money into churches are aware that God doesn't have any bank account. So evidently the bandit standing on the pulpit is the ultimate beneficiary. I guess he has better use of the money than the ones that easily give it away.

Who do pastors pay tithe to?

Leaders of rich countries are investing in exploration, research and innovation to get richer while the leaders of broke countries are looting the little they have to invest in rich countries.

Foreigners can steal the whole of Africa, the citizens will just mumu dey go. But once you mention Jesus or Allah, their dumb minds wake up from slumber.

Nigerian situation is aptly captured below:

Only in a shithole country like Nigeria would the likes of Obasanjo and Reuben Abati be talking and people be listening. Obasanjo enthroned everything that is wrong with democracy in Nigeria--corruption, rigging, thuggery, godfatherism, you name it.

They are poor students of history. Wike used the G5 governors to reposition himself politically while the other four ex-governors lost out. He is using these lawmakers until they are no longer useful to his personal ambition.

Bayelsa has nothing to show even being one of the recipients of highest allocation in the nation. Considering its small size, it should be El Dorado.

The advice is only applicable to those who manage to stay alive for the inglorious 4 years of Tinubu. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. Nigeria is an open air prison. Goodluck escaping

Please this topic wants to tear the family apart.

We are doing well, each of us earns almost 85k per year, I'm in IT, she's in healthcare, and we both work full-time.
I am a Christian, I have never defaulted in tithing in the last 5 years. Not once.
She says tithing is my personal 'problem'. She uses the word problem specifically. She doesn't pay tithe.

This is the present sharing agreement, I bring 70%, she brings 30%.
This 70-30 covers the cost of living, groceries, nursery fees for our baby, and other bills.
before this sharing, we both bring equal amounts for the house mortgage and the car.
When her family needs money, she insists that we share it 50-50 based on her culture.

For my cybersecurity certifications, I pay from my less than 20%, but I have never complained. God has been faithful. My belief is that my tithe covers for the family.
The good news is that I won a large sum of money from my savings, tens of thousands of dollars. I intend to pay tithe, and channel most of the money to my professional development so I can earn more. I don't think I deserve that money I won, that money was from God.
She thinks otherwise.

What's your opinion?

/
I think that the fact that you are tithing should be a ground for divorce. As a supposed leader of a household, your wife has more common sense than you. You work. She works. And at the end, you take part of your money to feed another man's family under the guise of giving to God.

It makes sense why women abandon their husbands abroad--some of you come with factory-fitted stupidity.

I gave you two weeks timeline and it came to pass as stated.

On Wednesday I will tell you exactly where it will be by the end of the year. It is reality not fantasy.

Why blame Cardoso when IMF is the one running your economy?

I never understood how and why entities in Nigeria are allowed to transact in foreign currencies.

Whether the story is true or false, the message is there. Everyone is one minor medical emergency away from 6ft under.

I wanted to write that Alex Otti should just move on and forget about the past administration, but 10 billion is a lot of money. He should use plea bargaining on Okezie Ikpeazu. Even if he can drop 5 billion, that's okay.

However, if he keeps denying, Otti should share his dossier with the EFCC after the forensic audit so they can deal with Ikpeazu their way. He doesn't need that distraction now. The EFCC was established for that purpose.

But if you catch a thief who stole a phone, you don't ask that he be left alone if he can return just the battery and keep the phone. One of the major problems in Nigeria is folks like you that worship and excuse looters.

/

/
The sad reality is that at the end of the day, Wike will abandon the 27 lawmakers.

/

/

I guess after educating them and then no employment, their certificates will be massaging their souls. Education without employment is useless.

/

/
Apparently IMF is the one managing Nigerian economy Such level of meddlesomeness is non-excusable.

Where is Timmi?

Come and settle me!

DCA around $1/N1000 and you chose to be stubborn and delusional. I gave naira two weeks around $1/N1000 and you graciously extended it to three weeks

Back to the colonial era when the traditional institution was placed under the dictates of her Royal Majesty. By mere pronouncement, a judge can decide the fate of Benin Kingdom. When Oba of Benin started frolicking with politicians, we knew that it is a matter of time before they water down his influence. Sanusi still couldn't fathom out what hit him as the Emir of Kano.

Some bloke will end up marrying her. Then like Kora Obidi's ex-husband, he will come on social media to start wailing that the 304 he married is actually behaving like a 304.

Go figure!

What Britain did in the Middle East is just the same as planting Fulani settlers in your community. Then US and Britain arming them to "protect" themselves against the host community. Then some deranged Neanderthals shouting "I support Fulani" because the koran told them that the Fulani are Allah's chosen people. Whenever the community rises against the machination of the herdsmen, the government comes out to wipe the community. Isn't this scenario playing out on a smaller scale in Nigeria? Replace US and UK with Nigerian government.

Anyone who supports Israel and is against the establishment of Fulani Ruga in his or her community is the devil.

I don't do Politics of Tribe ,Hatred ,Hypocrisy .

Yesterday I was having a discussion with an Elderly Man an APC Party Man who is a Staunch Supporter of Tinubu about the Economy Situations .

He Said ,Kama Ton Arawaje ,Ilu Osunwon Rara ooo.

Meaning ,Without Deceiving ourselves the Things in the Country is not Okay at all.

He is a Yoruba Man ,I am too .

I do not Belongs to the Class of People that Believes even if The President Policies is not Working Good Results then I must Keep Talking like a Zombie ,

Let's face the Reality .

Things are Getting More Worse .

If you say ,You are Okay ,Several Millions are Sufferings ..Go to the Streets and see .

Now Objectively ..

Concerning the Dollars ,Finance ,P2P , Crypto Etc have been Blammed ,Yet Dollars Keep Rising .

WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU THINK THE GOVERNMENT ,CBN GOVERNOR SHOULD DO PRACTICALLY TO STRENGTHEN THE NAIRA ?

/
1. Resign from OPEC. Sell crude oil in naira.
2. Have great control over mineral resources being stolen from the North and convert the price equivalent in naira before sales.
3. Join BRICS.
4. Get rid of politicians that treat the West like gods and imbibe patriotism by putting Nigerians first.
5. No import waivers on luxury. Place 80% tax on luxurious goods and automobiles even during renewal of annual registration. Do you want to drive Rolls Royce? To renew registration N2million annually.

I saw this on Facebook yesterday, what do you think guys?

But seriously, I don't expect any responsible young woman to tattoo her body this much

She is a true definition of a white sepulchre--beauty on the outside but rotten on the inside. What sane man will marry someone who has shown evidence of bad choices in her life? First impression matters.

Bail amount is 3.5% of alleged loot.

Case closed because this is the last time this case will be heard.

Profit is 96.5% of loot. In this case N2.8 billion.

Looting is a good business in Nigeria if you ask me.

Here are some photos of how streets in aba are giving a new look and shape.
Just check the photos

Then we need to ask ikpeazu and TA orji why they left aba to rot away

Good thing that he started on positive notes.
But his works are incomplete if he doesn't champion the extraction of all the loots from Ikpeazu, Orji and Kalu.

I wonder what dumb Nigerian Christians will say now...are they going to tag the POTUS a terrorist sympathizer?

/
A lot of Israelis themselves and many Americans are against the genocide by Israel. It has turned to Netanyahu's political ambition for power retention. But mumu Nigerian Christians are supporting Israel because a book convinced them that Israelis(who by the way are non-chrisrians) are the children of God while they, the Nigerians are under ancestral curses . We have Israel in Nigeria. There is a town in Nigeria called Umuchukwu (children of God). Have Nigerians revered them or they are only interested in the ones with white skin?

Historically, taxation had caused revolution and change of government in many nations. But I expect Nigerians to complain, pay up and later turn it into comedy skits. Case closed.

Nigeria will always happen to Nigerians.

Asari Dokubo is wailing. Seyi Law is crying. FFK was used and dumped. Reno Omokri is hustling backwards. Inflation is biting hard. Insecurity is the new king of the block. Naira is following the path of least resistance down. Hike in electricity. Cyber security tax. Fuel scarcity. Intermittent cum total power failure.

And it is not even one year yet of Tinubu in power.
Japa used to be the solution but that window of opportunity is almost closed. Nigeria has turned to a full blown IDP camp. No prison escape.

/

/
Fubara has not played his last card. Nigerian politicians understand one word. Once one or two of the members of the State Assembly joins Funsho Williams, area go scatter. Wike proved to be a man of vawulence and they behaved. Fubara may need to stop barking and start biting. With his full control of the state fund, he is the closest thing to an alpha and omega.

This may be the right time to invest in bulldozers.

Bulldozer work go full Lagos soon.

Maximum respect for who dey buy land for Lagos. If they escape Sanwo-Olu government, how about the next governor? That's too much psychological stress for real estate investment. But as it goes, future victims will continue to buy, sand-fill and build. They are the ones that are quick to ask, "Is it your money?" followed by "mind ya own business". Then when shit hits the fan, they come on social media to wail and seek for public sympathy. Nigerians can only learn the hard way.
