Stop talking nonsense.

This is about SOUTH Africa.

Leave "Africa" out of your mouth, okay?

So south Africa, dey Europe, or Asia? You see weytin village people don use head do? Common sense no truly common, so those innocent teachers were only beating a dead horse for years.

Africa no go ever disappoint. The government is of little or no use to us in Africa.

Lazy, incompetent, and inefficient Discos Meter customers una no fit, collect una money from customers una no fit, provide cost reflective services una no fit, but una wan collect cost reflective tarriffs, classical case of wanting to reap from where you did not sow.
nairalanda1 oya food don done, come defend rubbish by yarning opata.

Some of una dey very emotional and easily swayed. Where you expecting the governor to order the killing and maiming of oppositions? Na WA for una oh!!!

See how Kobojunkie dey school you like atakara school children, so that Bwala comment about the human brain on joining the APC na true? @Kobojunkie I hereby donate 1 Dangote trailer of chilled stout for you.

Isreal existed before, during, and will continue to exist after Trump's presidency. Though same can't be said of the most protected man in Iran, who is currently hustling for virgins in hell, and his heir is scared of joining him in the virgins hustle, as such ogbeni no fit even show face to pay him papa last respect. Who pass you, don pass you.

na poverty and hunger make them win


When oshimen won he didn't deserve it

Lookman own too he didn't deserve it he won with just a match which was Europa league hat trick

Carry talk people no dey hard to know,

Basic123:
You know nothing about public finance.
Buhari would have borrowed more for infrastructure but we had a very poor credit rating due to subsidy regime.

Google "Credit rating" if your brain no carry am

If you get brains, answer why Energy security expenses come dey expensive, pass subsidy despite fuel being more expensive more than subsidy era.

Freshtruth:
Nigeria
a we keep going backwards with this mentally . We are not football nation we progress in football national level due to hardship we no Sabi play ball make we talk truth

We no sabi play ball, yet na only Cameroon past us for number of Africa best awards. Back up your claims with facts, no open mouth wa, dey yarn opata.

BATified2023:
if subsidy is removed

Will u pay more or less?

Go n ask chatgpt cos u can't answer it

And you know fit answer any of my questions.
Yes I paid more, even with subsidy.
Can you please tell me in your own words what is ENERGY SECURITY EXPENSES?

BATified2023:
I know u won't b able to answer this question but I will ask u

If obi were to be the president, buhari paid subsidy till may..... How will a new government get money to pay for subsidy?

Despite paying subsidy on petrol, and electricity, fiercely spending heavily in defending the naira, how much did Buhari borrowed compared to what Tinubu has borrowed so far?

Buhari: 2022 subsidy payments on fuel= #4.39T

Buhari: January - May 2023 subsidy payments on fuel = #1.8T

VS
Tinubu: June - December 2023, energy security expenses = #4.84T, this is despite removing subsidy

Tinubu: 2024 energy security expenses #7.13T

What is energy security expenses some may ask?

Energy security expenses are cost borne by a government to ensure that a country has a continuous supply of energy like petrol while selling them at government regulated prices, below their actual supply cost. Meaning a government buys a product for #700, but sell same product for #400

So I ask you, how then is energy security expenses different from subsidy?

How come Tinubu energy security expenses were even higher than Buhari subsidy payments, despite Tinubu not paying subsidy?

Where Tinubu take get the Trillions wey him spend on energy security expenses, and squander on none working refineries?

Some of una need serious beating

From past experiences even free ticket to watch any Nigeria live match I no follow. That year we go Warri for tournament my team w beat the home team. Final whistle blow we dey happy anyhow, when home fans pounce on us, dem give us serious physical beating. We left Warri with swollen eyes, nose, forehead.

Small hope dey today, I no go wear face cap hide enters compound today.

English FA will never allow Manchester United to relegate.

At this current pace their hands will be tied.

As a Manu fan, na to find better IPTV wey go show championship matches remain. Because at this pace relegation sure die.

PerfectStranger:
Sometimes I try to compare the suffering we're facing now to that of the Israelites at the wilderness.

If God created us all equally, he should show up and eliminate our bad leaders. Even if it means striking them with a deadly disease,then others will learn.

😆 😆 Ogbeni abeg no kill me with laughter you hear? the stew wey I dey eat currently get too much pepper. If you reason. Nigeria leaders matter, to wear suicide vest enter their family meetings go hungry you.

The reason is Discos wanting to reap from where they did not sow. They want cost reflective tarriffs, but can't provide cost reflective services.

You are right my brother.
OBJ did everything.....it was all heaven on earth. Tinubu came and destroyed all the:
1. All the Federal roads, excavated all the asphalt and starts his kangaroo construction
2. All the health care facilities and equipment that OBJ installed in all teaching hospitals and bulldozed down all health centres and cancer centres and reduce doctors salaries
3. Tinubu destroyed all the interstate railway infrastructure that OBJ built to improve the economy. Tinubu must be a destroyer😁
4. Education in Nigeria during Obasanjo was top notch, no ASUU strike, lectures and teachers well paid but Tinubu came and destroyed all Education sector .
5. Every household during Obasanjo was living fine and driving cars but the oppositions paid Idris, African china, Black face, Tuface, Niggar Raw and other musicians who sang out the frustration of the people. But now Tinubu has brought poverty.
6. #1500 minimum wage was better and people could build house easily and buy cars. Tinubu destroyed everything
7. There was no corruption during Obasanjo regime. Report of killings, political assassinations and freedom suppression were propaganda to spoil his government
8. There was no strike either from NLC, NUPENG, Resident doctors, ASUU etc.
9. Tinubu came and destroyed all the oil refineries that OBJ built, destroyed all the airports, all the seaports, all the power stations, destroyed AJaokuta steel company that OBJ almost completed before he left,, destroyed all the bridges over sea and lands. Tinubu must be evil

😆 Given the contents of the image below, your reaction is completely understandable. Even Tinubu himself confirmed it, though I pray may yours not be permanent.

Jesu, this na follow come carelessness and forgetfulness oh!!, na people like this, go use their phone touch take dey look for same phone.

Nigeria is a really beautiful country.

Lol that Isoko language can make us laugh for area that year. I find the language very funny, and entertaining, it feels as if they are singing when talking. "Jacobu wo ple table tennisi" In Sapele Delta state, Okpe is like a forgotten language I barely heard people speaking that language the last time I visited, unlike the Urhobos, Ijaws, Itsekiri, Igbo, Isoko and others. Okpe genz generation wan deaf my ear with tegwolo wafi English.

Fear for your own self say, you dey among the weapons fashioned against Nigeria.
Nairaland will not progress with people like you being the majority here, ogbeni deactivate your account, and swerve lost, you will not be missed.

Father that Sense you give me to buy and build pls increase it
Don't let me be reckless and stupid like some who believe it's government that is killing there capability to improve there life
Wasting there time drinking and free fullish there little income on beer , flex without given attention on wealth creation

Focusing on there ability and disability
And using that as a tool to get there want and need to there reality

So help me God

Good, may your new sense be permanent IJN

1. Obj government being heaven on earth
with #1500 minimum wage for workers?

Make I school you small.
OBJ increased minimum wage in the year 2000 from #3500, to #6500 for states, and #7500 for federal, that period, Nigeria Consumer Price Index (CPI) was at 29.60
Now let's find out the purchasing power of #7500 in the year 2000 VS 2025

Using 2010 as a baseline, Nigeria CPI as at 2025 is 860.32 according to world bank figures

Therefore: 860.32 / 29.60 = 29.065

7500 * 29.065 = 217987.5

Can you now see that the #7500 minimum wage OBJ paid in the year 2000, is worth #217987.5 in 2025?
You see why education no be scam?

2. Tokunbo car I no sure say e go reach 100k but no worker get money to buy it?

During that period, na taxi people dey enter as in people dey use cars do taxi work, not Keke, or tuke, tuke bus, there was a Volkswagen model then named Passat, wey people nickname "PURE WATER" because e dey very popular, cheap, and full everywhere yakpa, my old man no gree buy am because e too common, instead he settled for a Nissan, he was a civil servant. Na the same taxi driver, wey society consider say na suffer head work then, na him graduates dey happily do today, dem call am Uber.

3. To build house for 3 bedroom flat complete then na just ordinary 1.5 million budget but no worker get that kain money?

Using the CPI figures above that same 1.5 million na #43,597,500 today, how many civil servants get that kind money now?

4. All federal roads were in shambles, accidents everywhere, political killings, ritual killings, prostitution, kidnappings, armed robbery, cultists were order of the day....

So accidents don stop today, Is it not a pity, that same federal roads are inaccessible till date? For Plateau, na mass burial dey reign now, Bandits dey pursue full communities from their homes. Them dey even kidnap full school now, dem they collect tax from residents for some communities now, rag tag bandits dey even use Nukes turn eba currently. Dem dey boldly display their crime proceeds for TikTok now. Then rituals were considered abominable, and secret acts, but now even 14 years old dey run am steady.

5. No railway, no light, no fuel, queuing at filling stations for 3 days everytime.....

According to the Nigerian Railway Corporation figures, reproduced by the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE). From 1999 - 2003, Nigeria Railway carried a total of 7,205,502 passengers, shey you say no railway then?
During OBJ we paid #6 for a kWh of electricity and shouted up NEPA, but with Tinubu we are paying $209.50 + 0.75 VAT for same kWh of electricity and still shouting up NEPA, with OBJ Aso rock was still on the national grid, but with Tinubu the grid dey collapse like epileptic patient, even Tinubu run leave am go spend #10B on solar

6. ASUU strike, NLC strike, Doctors strike, NUPENG strike every month but all are gone now but yet his era the heaven on earth

The highest price of fuel during OBJ time was #65, meaning a minimum wage worker could still afford 1L daily with no serious qualms on his salary, how many minimum wage workers wey fit play that kind rough play now. As for NLC strikes I recommend more RAM, no be aboki RAM oh!! for you. Fuel na premium material currently, so minimum wage worker, no dey play go there now, fuel wey we dey buy anyhow just to take am burn bush then, don become luxury.

7. Rewards for teachers are in heaven bcs they were the poorest of the poorest....

Refer, to my minimum wage values above, you hear? During OBJ even teachers dey consider ice fish poor man food, same ice fish don turn luxury currently.

8. Yet looting everywhere, There was a popular slogan by PDP boastfulls then that PDP, SHARE THE MONEY.....Every oil boom looted, yet the heaven on earth

OBJ created EFCC, With Tinubu na fake government agency wey government budget funds for dey reign now, Trillions spent in refineries that are not working, Trillions spent in subsidy that was removed, dem change am to energy security expenses, Humanitarian ministry scam the country over #44B+, looting na water. APC youth chairman donated cars worth billions of Naira, abeg show me him business, na pity say even Temu Keke dem no share reach you.

9. No single infrastructure, no security, no economic plan or diversification, no good health care, no quality education....

Telecommunications: The GSM revolution na Obj run am
OBJ constructed over t4748KM highways in the country, fact check me, we no dey talk about coastal road of fraud here. Benin - Asaba dualization, Abuja - Lokoja road expansion, na him run them. Na him form The Niger, Delta Development Commission (NDDC) if you know know weytin dem dey do, you fit ask me, no fear or shame you hear?

According to the Association of Resident Doctors in Nigeria (NARD) from 2000 - 2015 an average of 600 - 800 doctors exited the country per year, total exits over that period was < 5000. But in Tinubu first tenure, over 5391 doctors don japa, 2023 alone 3974 doctors run leave Nigeria, abeg you fit tell me why dem dey run leave Nigeria?

10. Idris sing Nigeria Jagajaga, African China sing "Mr President, lead us well", Black face sang " Hard life" yet this mmoffos say heaven on earth

Same Idris in his song in 2025 a lyrics directed to Seyi Tinubu:
"Tell your papa country hard, tell your papa people dey die... this one don pass jagaga"

During OBJ's time citizen dey hopeful, and they think of weytin government go fit do for them, but currently it is all man for himself, government no longer give a bleep about her citizens existence.

11. Black people are the most ingrate i have ever seen......They are quick to forget their oppressors and would give them opportunity to oppress them over and over again....

See how you describe yourself in a perfect manner, kudos say you no deny your true nature.

12. By now, Obasanjo, Atiku, GEJ should all be behind the bars or have been summarily executed if it is in China but Nigerians keep praising them.
You deserve your kinds of leaders

I'm in strong support, none of them were saints just like Tinubu and his current APC government abi no be so? But OBJ, GEJ, defended the naira, paid subsidy, yet borrowed less. unlike the current government who did none of that, yet borrowed more, and still taxing us, with almost nothing to show for it.

With OBJ, our legislators, and judiciary were very active and truly independent, not the Akpabio senate on your mandate we stand. The Abuja master plan of today was initiated by OBJ, not the Wike "I'm not a fool sir" era.

This was your comment in May 2015

I want to recommend that we always disallow our politician 4 second term in office cos it has always come out to be fraud.Sacking oga jona is a good omen 4 dis country,suddenly jona gets liver to perform his statutory roles as president in cealing off d country's leaking avenues....Well done NIGERIANS

[quote author= post=141113823]How we wish African Presidents can also be doing this time to time.
Sigh 😕[/quote]They can't with people like you in existence, and being the majority.

Even if their country collapse, an African president go still rule the country from overseas.

Banding/Tiering customers is a good initiative by the government I must say, unfortunately the lazy, incompetent, and inefficient DisCos are exploiting it at the detriment of Nigerians.

Normally customers on Band A are supposed to enjoy at least 20 hours of electricity daily, because they are paying cost reflective tarriffs. But customers on Band B - E are supposed to receive lower time frame of electricity, because the government asked Discos not to collect above certain price (#40 for Band E) from these customers, the government agreed to pay the balance to Discos.

But somehow the government is defaulting and arguing with Discos because Discos, can't reliably prove the true figures of electricity they supplied to those Bands (B - E). Given normal circumstances I expected Discos to focus more on Band A and spoil them with electricity, which will make it more tempting for other bands ( B - E) to switch to Band A, given the fact that even at cost reflective tarriffs, electricity is still cheaper than Petrol, and Diesel.

But Instead Discos sees it as a perfect opportunity to steal from all bands and still cry foul that government is forcing price on them, despite not providing the service that people paid for. Below is the end result

Band A: Paying true cost reflective tarriffs, but don't receive cost reflective service, due to the inefficiencies of Discos, and Gencos.

Band B - E: Not paying cost reflective tarriffs as such don't receive cost reflective service. Full community dey shout up NEPA, for light wey go last at most 1 hour a day.

Government: The figures Discos are giving us as what we owe them is not correct, although we agree we are owing them, but na debt we owe no be person we kill, we go pay dem small, small.

Discos: Band A users una sorry oh!! we no go fit give una cost reflective service, because una no many reach, even though you all paid well for it. And for those of una wey dey other bands, we no go fit give una cost reflective service, because you did not pay well for it.

If the government can suspend subsidy on electricity for at least a year, it will expose the inefficiencies of Discos, who want to reap from where they did not sow. I believe nairalanda1 go don dey yarn opata by now.
