I am seeing that cement is 10k In certain places in Nigeria 😂.

10k
Izzou you Don hear anything?

[color=royalblue]My church is carrying out a project in its premises, and it is was halted two days ago because there is no place to buy cement

I just heard about it today.

So 10k or 15k sef is not impossible[/color]

GloriousGbola:
I guess we can see what an LP run administration would be like tho.

[color=royalblue]Is it worse than APC?

At least, there is a calling out.

APC that openly crowned a Babariga dollar stuffing thief as Chairman nko?[/color]

CrystalTiger:
Buhari tenure mad abeg..

Men were withdrawing cash direct from CBN..

[color=royalblue]Emefiele himself was dragging the bags?

So even the security staff could not help him as per Oga nla?

[/color]

[color=royalblue]I like LP's mode of operation

Anybody that challenges Abure, he will just dash the person to Apapa and banish him/her

....Ọ̀rẹ́...... o it sú mi. I just want this country to work but too many saboteurs full ground.

Commoners are the ones suffering cos these elites ain't feeling the pains at all. My friend is into real estate and cheapest home he ever posted for sale is ₦150m.

At times he does post homes worth ₦450m, ₦500m and do wonder if its same Nigeria the buyers are living too.

Don't mind me bro - I hope this country can be fixed. I really hope!

[color=royalblue]What Bode George said maybe true, but that is not the reason we are where we are; Maybe just a little percentage of it.

Do we know how much have been siphoned by politicians alone since 1999?

Is Wigwe's round tripping the reason why Nigeria cannot generate electricity or have just one functioning refinery?

Na Wigwe say make we no dey produce for here?[/color]

OasisX:


....even though Baba Bode hands ain't clean too, but I still like his courage to speak out. Elites have ruined this country so much that it may need combined interventions of God and gods to fix it.

Dangotes, Otedolas ain't clean too..........damn! I love Naija but I won't mind we reset it - break goddmamn country so we can start afresh.

[color=royalblue]Tomorrow, you'll come and tell us Tinubu will fix Nigeria, and you believe in him

Next Tomorrow, break the goddamm country and start afresh.

GloriousGbola:
Going through the thread - I also found that a very vocal critic of the FG (corruption, incompetence, Yada Yada) was an MBA spokesperson at the time. Interesting.

[color=royalblue]Smart Politician?

[/color]

folake4u:
Pele. I don't think I can eat any other brand asides Indomie.

It's really crazy. The woman complained of low sales.

[color=royalblue]At this point, only God can save us.[/color]

[color=royalblue]BlueRayDick

This was when the pipeline burst. See wetin person carry go meet God for answers.

That thread ehn! [/color]

folake4u:
I bought 3 packs of that Indomitable pack for 200naira yesterday. Almost shed tears.

The sellers are saying a carton is now like 12k.

[color=royalblue]I had to buy one funny brand like that.

Indomie is now out of the reach of the poor.

Let the world end already![/color]

GloriousGbola:
Only place you will find the pack is in market square on 22 road. Move fast. Prices are increasing every 48 hours

[color=royalblue]I go try tomorrow[/color]

popizaino:
I will be surprised if there is no serious uproar from Nigerians in form of nationwide protest before the end of year.

[color=royalblue]I came back this night, and wanted to eat noodles

I have walked the length and breadth of my street, and nobody has Indomie (the real brand)

They said the company increased the pack by over 1,500. So nobody is buying it, because they have no confidence in consumers paying 200 for the small size.

Let's give Tinubu time. At least, we will access him in 2027[/color]

BlueRayDick:
In Nigeria , we excel in throwing away the baby along with the bath water .

That was how I read about an estate in Enugu where they suspected some kidnappers hid some of their victims in one of the houses there. The next thing the government did is to demolish several buildings in the estate that had absolutely nothing to do with the kidnapper's hideout . It was one skit maker that whose house was about to be demolished in the same estate that made a video before the thing gained public attention and the state govt was now doing shalaye .

Like u rightly said , it makes absolute no sense to start shutting down those herbal liquor manufacturers because some of them were actually registered by same NAFDAC initially and this is not a good time for wielding of such big stick.

I will not lie, it just appears as if there's one evil hand pushing this government to keep taking anti-people decisions until the people snap at the breaking point . Because I no just understand.

[color=royalblue]It is like when they appoint someone to be there, they throw every bit of commonsense out of the window.

From retailes, to distributors, to contractors, to suppliers, to haulage companies, a lot are making their living from selling it

I pass through Intercontinental distilleries just near Canaanland, and you'll see so many trucks outside. That place is a beehive of activities

Then someone will just wake up and ban it because of registration number.[/color]

[color=royalblue]The way the economy is dwindling, and every sector is working as if Nigeria is fine is very funny.

NAFDAC is banning satchet alcohol, forgetting that a lot of jobs are created by these companies; let us not even forget about how taxes would be affected.

Their reason is that none of them are registered.

So why not force them to register? Why not drag them to your office and register, since registration is the issue?

BlueRayDick:


That is a proof that people who come online seeking for advise don't actually want any advise they will act on. Imagine how the first few respondents cleared him that the whole thing was ponzi but he chose not to listen. People like that actually deserve to lose money to scammers.

[color=royalblue]Those ponzi threads can be funny.
[/color]

[color=royalblue]Official market come worse pass parallel market!

BlueRayDick:
Wait, don't tell me the op invested the N2m he posted about and it was swallowed by the ponzi scheme?

I just read the first page and don't have strenght to read through the rest.

[color=royalblue]He did naa

Even when the MBA closed shop, some monikers were still defending the whole scheme.

That thread dey always make me laugh [/color]

[color=royalblue]This thread never gets old.

Whenever i need some comic relief, i go back and read again[/color]

[color=royalblue]Culled this comment from a post of front page, and i couldn't agree more.
[/color]

Any monkey can remove subsidy and devalue the Naira.

It's what you do before,during and after, knowing the ripple effect of those policies that should distinguish you from the monkey.

monerozi5590:
I don't think there's any country in the world where their currency is freely floated. One way or the other the government will come in. I think CBN is now collecting receipt of NNPC sells, this will hugely be helpful in accountability. I believe with time the dollars will come into the system.

[color=royalblue]Government is not coming in when it is 1500

It is when it is 5,000 they want to come in.

Masterclass move, I must confess[/color]

Bluelines69:
Never seen a player as trolled as Maguire before and he’s turned it around, you can easily restrict people from commenting on your page so why the drama

[color=royalblue]Maguire that actually has memes done with his mistakes

There are YouTube compilations of Maguire's gaffes.

I am surprised we are making this about Nigeria in SM. Or should we talk about Onana, where his gaffes are talked about for weeks?

Any small thing, Nigerians are this and that.

Omoh![/color]

monerozi5590:
The goal is to stabilise the Naira. They should just do anything they can to stabilise the Naira. We need brains in that CBN office. Officially I think our balance of trade is ok.

Tinubu don't really want us to go the way of SriLanka. I think those guys are coming out of their economic crises slowly. What the new guy did was to remove all subsides.

Tackle exchange rate should be the focus. Bring down inflation should be the focus for now.

[color=royalblue]It's not by writing goals. How do you stabilise the naira?

How do you bring down inflation, when all the metrics are against it?

We used to believe we were 90% dependent on importation, but that's a lie. We are 247% dependent, and everything has been exposed when the floating started.

Let us keep waiting for the tackle until bread turns 3,000. Then maybe, just maybe, those who feel we need to give time would understand the unrepairable damage we have gotten into.[/color]

[color=royalblue]If i had a $1000 dollars, i would rather keep it in an account and watch it climb from 1.5 million to 1.6 million in days.

Instead of starting a business that i will struggle every single minute to survive, this is the only option.

That is why i said the scarcity is not because of hoarding. It is because nobody is willing to invest in anything

We are hitting ground zero in a matter of months.[/color]

monerozi5590:
Do you know governance more than Tinubu? Do you want us to be on the verge of bankruptcy?

The times are hard and we know. Let's give him time.

[color=royalblue]At what point do you think it will get better?

This quote is the future of Nigeria.

You are not producing anything. The more the naira weakens, the more it becomes difficult to produce anything.

How we still need to give time again is what only me in this country doesn't understand[/color]

Itsrm:
I share your pessimism. If you bought dollar when Tinubu came on board, your money would have doubled. Do you know how crazy that is? Like what's the incentive to produce? What's the incentive to set up a company and employ people when you can just leave your money in a domiciliary account and double it. No taxes, no omo onile, no agbero, no diesel and petrol headache. How will any country grow this way?

And things will only get worse. Even Cardoso has thrown in the towel. With the full free float, he's essentially saying that if the dollar gets to 5000 to a Naira, so be it.

Realmrsean:
raise am, raise am, raise am.. brrrrrmmmmmmmm

Itsrm:
Everybody around me don dey on red alert. Just waiting for who will light the matchstick as you put it.

Someone said change will start coming when the middle class starts getting hit with hardship. I believe that time is now.

[color=royalblue]Unless something changes, serious riots are inevitable. [/color]

BlueRayDick:
It's only a matter of time; especially if the politicians keep living their luxurious lifestyles while the masses look on in amazement at their non challant attitude .

Just yesterday I was reading that memo of Tinubu approving 1billion ( 500m in the first tranche ) for inauguration of national minimum wage committee. Bayo Onanuga was more concerned about investigating those who leaked the memo than addressing whether it makes any economic sense to approve such amount for a routine government duty .

The comments I saw in the IG posts shows people are pissed that the people in government don't even send the masses. It's only a matter of time before the people move in mass against the government violently . How can people be seriously hungry and u are approving 1billion for a kangaroo committee ?

It's only in Nigeria they will say we are broke and u will see government officials living ostentatious lifestyle . That was why I was 100% against the fuel subsidy removal from the onset; it's only masses that should make sacrifices while the political class continue business as usual.

[color=royalblue]1 billion for committee.

I saw the thread and i just laughed.[/color]

PDPGuy:
Chei. Dem cheat you

[color=royalblue]I no even know anymore.
[/color]

BlueRayDick:
What makes me mad is that Buhari was 4cking this country for 8 straight years yet APC and their apologists were goading him on.

Today they are telling us Buhari borrowed the country broke to the extent that our future oil revenue has already been pledged to pay debt. Debt over infrastructures that can't pay itself over even in 15 years time .

The same pattern continued with with Tinubu 4cking things up in his early days and they claim it's him being bold and taking the tough decisions others before him are scared of taking .

Today now almost everybody is groaning under the weight of the hardship. I'm afraid the worse is yet to come this one IMF is already advising Tinubu to still go ahead to remove subsidy from electricity and price of PMS totally .

[color=royalblue]This country is just waiting for who will light the matchstick. Fuel don dey the body already.

The hardship is becoming something else

You will find long queues at petrol stations that sell 568 to 601 (Total, NNPC, Mobil)

The ones selling 635-640 are empty.

I bought fuel along egbeda road and the attendants just sit down dey sleep. No customer.

I doubt if we can bounce back from this disaster we are in.[/color]

PDPGuy:
The official US$ to Naira rate has just hit a new low of N1,534 - $1🤯🤯

[color=royalblue]I bought a nonsense 8GB Dell laptop for 160,000 today

Tokunboh oh.

I have never been pissed this month like today[/color]

[color=royalblue]My Uncle travelled from Benin to Lagos today.

He got to GIGM Uselu around 5am and boarded a bus to Lagos (Festac).

He said they were only 2 that were passengers. The management had to beg them to join the bus going to Iyana Ipaja, because they cannot carry only 2 people to Festac..A whole GIGM

Even when they agreed, that one wasn't filled too. They were about 8 in the bus.

The way the economy is going, very soon everyone including the rich will just come outside and protest.

The moment people cannot afford their daily bread, then EndSARS will be a child's play[/color]

andrewbaba44:
I will single out Nigeria baba ,we are worst

We can’t loose game in peace ,we must look for one person to cyber bully

I am sure if kolo Muani missed that chance for Nigeria in a World Cup final they would have bullied so badly and he will retire from international football

They fit even go lynch him family house

[color=royalblue]With all the nonsense Uzoho has been dropping, how many times was he lynched?

How many times has his family house been attacked?

You see how you yourself are actually going to the extreme?[/color]
