My brother
People no dey read the child's play but person notice say dem no blur out phone number

Make we dey play

He's right though. Been mostly skipping the back and forth between them. The phone number just caught my attention.

If you have watched this man's interviews in the early days of Tinubus administration, you will almost choke with laughter watching this

I first visited PH in 1998 and I will not even lie, everyone in my family was dazed as to how clean the roads were . It was a very huge contrast to what we were used to in Lagos.

Even though Pure water, Takeaway packs and other disposable plastic wastes have found their way into the average Nigerian city in the new millennium, I can still attest that present day PH is still cleaner than present day Lagos even with LAWMA doing serious waste management job in Lagos.

Looks like you guys need double the workforce of Lawma considering the population density of Lagos at 4-6k people per square km.

Ph for instance has roughly half the density of Lagos.

Amigoss:
"You are pandering to ... "

2023 election spoil many things sha

Ikeja is a neat capital too na,minus ipodo sha

This Ikeja?

swiz123:
For all the effort Lagos State government put in to combat traffic, I find it surprising how unhygienic they left some areas.

I see Lawma pass Ikeja underbridge, Kodesoh street and assume for my sanity sake that they have catarrh. Because can some explain what that horrible smell of refuse dump mixed with urine of a thousand homeless touts doing at the center of Lagos State??

My head even spins when I see two women selling food and puff puff respectively under the same bridge, 20 ft away from the horrible dump and piss.

Most Lagosians who visit PH always have this to say. The lady who said Lagos is dirty and smelly may not be far from the truth

Theflint1:
Courts presiding over cases they have no jurisdiction over is another way to lead to anarchy.

Except that it's not always black and white. Even in this case, the supreme court may come back to say the Federal High court actually had jurisdiction.

BlueRayDick:
Maybe he wants to be hearing people that will saying " What The 4ck" in french , Spanish, German, etc as he's reading the speech

Omoapena:
....


When I fix my Samsung screen, I will screenshot all my ordeals with you and post it since you said I'm bitter and let the whole world see how a bitter person was honest with you right from day 1 I collected the Corolla from you

Why are you exposing his phone number though? If you must post the chat, you can edit it out.

BlueRayDick:
When I was much younger, one senior bros told me that the 🎧 which delegates wear at international conferences is for translation of foreign languages to ur lingua Franca when other people whom u don’t speak their language are addressing the public .

Now that I’m an adult , I don’t if that is true or just lamba that Egbon gave me that time .

Assuming this is even the case, the president shouldn't be the one using it since he's the one speaking. The other delegates who don't understand English should be using it.

What did I just watch ? 😲

Shey na all those technocrat and best brains wey surround T-Pain provide this speech for him too ?

Why the 🎧. Is someone telling him what to say?

BlueRayDick:
I mentioned it here that day that the Federal High court has no jurisdiction over Rivers state LGA election and their ruling on the elections could not stand . People were saying otherwise , but see now that the judgement had been overturned for that same jurisdiction issue .

That Peter Lifu man should be ashamed of himself sha. I’m sure his kids too will claim their dad is the best dad in the world 🤦‍♂️

And that is the normal thing to do if a judgement does not go in your favour. You appeal. You don't take laws into your hands.

Once you start taking laws into your hands, all bets are off.

OasisX:


.......relax bruh. A term is 4yrs not 8yrs hence anything can happen in 2027.

One of the few positives of the Tinubu administration. Hopefully, he will be fully back to PDP by 2031 so we finally bury this evil party called APC.

tabithababy:
. Oh thanks..the next one will be January 2025

Someone said there will be auction for 1st quarter 2025 this year and I think he's right.

563bn will be maturing on the 5th of December and 256bn one week later.

swiz123:
Can you be exact on what people complained about then? I can tell you with certainty that in the East, people complained mostly about their governors, not the president. Do you think people were complaining about food when a loaf of bread can maintain the same price for two years or more? Do you see people complain that rice, beans, corn, yam, potatoes etc is too expensive?

I can confirm that for any Nigerian who worked hard enough, food becomes the least of their problem. For example, a Mason laborer in 2007 can make 1,800 daily. He can spend N300 on food for the day given that Bread and Akara was N50 and Pepsi N30. He could even decide to spend 400 on beer and pepper soup in the evening and save 1,100. In less than 2 weeks, he can buy a bag of rice and have change.

Today, same laborer makes 8k daily pay but will complain, not about DSTV subscription, price of data subscription, cost of beer or pepper soup etc but cost of basic food he used to afford with ease.

So I ask again, please, can you be exact on what people complained about?

Nothing else to add.

TemporaryHansel:
That Corolla... I think it is bolt drivers that made the cost skyrocket.

That was when it was affordable. Most people can no longer afford to buy a Tokunbo corolla and put on bolt. The demand has drastically dropped.

To put into perspective, if you pay full duty and don't cut corners, you will pay 3.6m to clear it. This means you can no longer get a Tokunbo corolla below 7-8m.

How many aspiring bolt drivers can afford that?

[color=royalblue]My point is that you now see that period as "Enjoyment", because you are in a worse one..But the truth is we lamented then.

Or are you telling me Nigerians were all happy when OBJ and GEJ ruled. No...We cried.

I am not saying APC is good. Nigeria has never been better. The worse it gets, the more we pray for us to go back to Egypt.

I have heard people say Buhari is better than Tinubu. But we all wailed for 8 years, abi?[/color]

There's this yoruba proverb that says, "ti obinrin ko ba dan Ile oko meji wo, ko ni mo eyi to daa ni be"

We were complaining then but truth is, we were enjoying. We just didn't realise it.

Let's just pray as you have said that we won't look back 5 years from now and say we were enjoying now. Surviving will be hell by that time.

swiz123:
I get it now. Acknowledging that OBJ and Jonathan did well will mean accepting that APC is a failure.

Anytime una catch Raumdeuter and OasisX, just leave the latter for me personally.

Exactly.

BlueRayDick:
You hit the nail on the head with the bolded. It's obvious they don't see their principal surpassing his predecessors in terms of verifiable evidences, so they resort to pull down his predecessors to justify his failure.

Some of us complaining have had substantial increase in our income in the past 9 years under APC rule but due to APC's misgovernance the cost of living keeps catching up with our augmented income year-in year-out. Instead of APC government fixing the economy, they keep focusing on the wrong things like blaming PDP throughout Buhari's 8 years, etc. Na God remain make dem blame.

It's even annoying that the same people who clapped for Buhari all through his disastrous 8 years are the one claiming T-Pain is doing well today.

Bro, I've said it before, if we can take the economy back to 2014-2019, I don't mind going back to the salary I was earning then.

I remember importing a vehicle, received salary, paid to clear the car and had enough money left to fix it.

My salary now cannot even clear a 2003 Corolla .

Look at cars for example. People no longer buy because it's too expensive, vulcanisers have less work to do, mechanics are snoring in their shops, filling station owners sell less fuel, shops doing wheel balancing and alignment have less work to do, vehicle part sellers sell less. Everything along the value chain gets affected. How exactly will the economy grow? How will government earn taxes when businesses make losses?

And someone is blaming Obasanjo and Jonathan when the problem is clearly self inflicted.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]And that is the problem I see here.

The reason why OBJ's time is good, is because there is a "Worse" to compare it with.

I was a child then, but we complained. Our parents complained. We thought and knew we deserved better.

Was it not OBJ's time that made Oshiomole a hero with his numerous strikes, especially for fuel increment?

Nigeria has always been bad. The only constant K is that, for every new tenure, the previous one becomes better

20 years from now, children today will tell you Buhari was good, afterall, he left fuel at 200, and they are buying it 2,837/ltr[/color]

Was Yaradua worse than Obasanjo? And before you say he didn't stay long, he was there for three years. In comparison, Tinubu didn't need one year to bring us where we are today.

swiz123:
Please, do not insult OBJ by placing him anywhere beside this cancer.

Under him, mechanics owned story buildings which they rented out, civil servants owned good cars and bought landed properties, carpenters could afford to erect a decent 3 bedroom in their villages, bus drivers were land owners, and finally, the most important metric to measure economic progress — businesses experienced high turn overs. There was always something for those who worked hard, skilled or unskilled.

In the east, his name was changed from Obasanjo ( Njo means bad or ugly) to Obasamma ( Mma means good or handsome), for his obvious good leadership made the Igbos choose to see him as a handsome man as well.

Have you noticed that, those who support Tinubu are the ones who demonise Obasanjo.

Once you clock this fact, you won't waste your time trying to convince them. Obasanjo like Jonathan has to be pulled down to justify the hardship, hunger and erosion of our purchasing power by the APC led government in the last 9 years.

Odunharry:
30% level.. Itsrm how far.

CBN is doing well. Closest we've had to rate of inflation. There's really less incentive to stock up USD in the short term.

Shalom428:
Cash is King right now. This rate is unprecedented and it's likely to inch up if MPC tighten tomorrow / Friday.

Risk free money dey sweet at this rate , if a lot of cash dey. Especially if you have good cash flow and you are compounding.

Swears. Had to come out of retirement and pulled funds to invest. I don't see the naira depreciating to N2,200 a dollar within the next one year.

Prayer is for this bonanza to continue well into the coming year.

Shalom428:
Today's rate

Nice one

GloriousGbola:
when he is a bloody civilian who does not know his place in the scheme of things

in the military hierarchy a civilian is an omega male - who can be beaten up by uneducated 17 year old recruits fresh from the most backward village you can imagine

you dare to not to move your jaolpy out of the way of my convoy

break his windscreen, wipe him and slap his wife for good measure

we are nigerian soldiers - the original kill and go

what can be done is to get the name and family names of the general. his kids are likely schooling abroad. if their woke classmates hear that they are beneficiaries of third world oppressors there will be a backlash on them

This reminds me of the post of the guy who asked us to jump when an officer is talking to us


The ones I meet in my line of work are extremely courteous and nice. I've never felt that military-civilian thing when working with them. If I wasn't married, would have gotten a military babe.

BlueRayDick:
E shock u?

Chai. See people wey I dey defend

Obvious the "immediate investigation" is a ruse.

There are circumstances under which beating an individual is justified?

Risingcash94:
THEN HOW COME EVEN WITH 3, 5 AND EVEN 6M GTB AND ZENITH INSIST I GO FOR SECONDARY MARKET BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE 50M. INFACT I HAVE NEVER DONE PRIMARY MARKET. THEY ALWAYS TURN ME DOWN 😭

Then go to another branch. Or another bank. First Bank, Stanbic e.t.c.

Some of the people you meet in some of those banks don't know any better than you.

When they send treasury bill related mails from their HQ, most of them don't open it.

Theflint1:
If it's a country where people were spoilt for choice yet chose to be soldiers, I'd buy this, but that's not the case in Nigeria.

That I'm not willing to join now doesn't mean there wasn't a time when I'd have jumped at a gig in the military, and the only reason I won't do so now is cause I have other options.

There's tons of young Nigerian men that'd pick joining the military over the joblessness they're faced with, and that's even with the military actively in war.

And yet, the military has been lamenting in recent times that people from the south are not applying to vacancies in the NA. Are you saying there are no jobless people in the south?

Have you ever heard this from any other agency of government?

Theflint1:
Maybe it's uncalled for, but quite frankly I'm indifferent to their lot. I feel as much empathy for Nigerian military personnel as I feel for civil servants in any other government parastatal doing their jobs and facing whatever hazards in the course of getting their jobs done.

It is. Without them laying their lives on the line, me and you won't sleep with two eyes closed. Every soldier that dies in battle died to keep you safe.

6 division in PH is one of our clients and I go out of my way to satisfy them. Things I wouldn't do for other clients, I easily do for them.

Truth is, you won't do their job for any amount. Neither will I.
