BusinessRe: Naira Falls To All-Time Low On I&E Window, Hits N1,099/$ by Johncuppa(m): 7:37am On Dec 09, 2023
nairalanda1:
If we kept that subsidy, and even then what tinubu has done is partial removal......we would have had an exchange rate of N2000 to one dollar by now. And a debt reaching 70 trillion naira.

There is a reason why all the three candidates vowed to remove subsidy on day one. And there is a cold reason why GEJ wanted to remove subsidy in 2012. s

In 2011, subsidy costs were thrice of what they were in 2010, and were eating up our oil income. That is why GEJ wanted to remove subsidy....and eventually did a partial removal.
Partial remover as how?
He declared subsidy is gone, you're saying partial remover.
Do you mean independent oil marketers are being paid again?
How did you mean gan gan?

Also, I agreed susbsidy would have increased our debt rate, but how is the subsidy going to make dollar 2k?
As in the dollar that just moved that way within the period of less than 6 month
EducationRe: Can A Secondary School Certificate Holder Be Termed “Educated”? by Johncuppa(m): 3:38pm On Dec 02, 2023
Guyman01:
I feel ashamed when I saw the kind of very poor sentences from some of my course mates in the higher institution, they couldn't write a simple report that made sense, meanwhile, some of my classmates in secondary school published books without getting any higher education, I see these ones as educated and some of my course mates as school attendees, we have a WhatsApp group and they will never comment because they can't put words together without errors and some of them occupy positions in civil service

PoliticsRe: 2024 Budget: Student Loan Commences January — President Tinubu by Johncuppa(m): 12:25am On Nov 30, 2023
Fujiyama:
^^^
huh

I have said absolutely nothing about Peter Obi. He has nothing to do with this discussion. Nothing at all.

I stand by my comments on Osinbajo. He was the vice president in an administration that miserably failed Nigerians in every way, shape and form and it is laughable that some of you want to rewrite history to favour him. It will not happen. You cannot remove Osinbajo from the failed equation that was the Buhari administration and the APC for the past 9 years. He was with Buhari from 'top to bottom', take it or leave it.

This nonsense of bringing in Peter Obi into the discussion - for absolutely no reason exposes the lack of depth in your argument. I have no time for filthy partisan politics. Instead of asking Osinbajo to atone for his silence in the face of the widespread slaughter of indigenous Christian farming communities across Nigeria during the Buhari years (a slaughter that is still going on as we speak) you are telling me tales about Obidients and APC tickets and voting parts in Western and Northern Nigeria. Who cares about all that? undecided

Osinbajo stood by and did nothing while terrorists ran riot across this country - and they are still hard at work. He is a man of the cloth and he had a duty of care to these hard hit Christian communities in North Central Nigeria and beyond. If he was genuinely appalled at the targeted elimination of people of his faith, why didn't he resign all those years ago? undecided

Rubbish.
Osinbajo did nothing against terrorism and should have resigned, when Jonathan didn't? What was the outcome of all GEJ did, and why did he choose to return as a Christian watching his fellow believers dieing?

Now Tinubu was part of Buahri administration one way or the other, You aren't rooting for Peter Obi and Yemi Osinbajo was a failure (for being part of administration that failed despite all he did as a VP with the mistreatment of the cabals), who should have been the best bet for Nigeria please?

If being part of a team that fail makes one an automatic failure no one will be fit for a better governance as it stands in this country.

And I was expecting you putting more points on how he's a failure just for you to mentioned insurgency that a no 1 christain president couldn't stopped and a vp was supposed to stop or better resigned if he couldn't.

RomanceRe: Nairalanders That Have Lost Loved Ones: How Did You Cope? by Johncuppa(m): 1:50pm On Nov 25, 2023
Samantha124:
Whether you pray or fast, it doesn't change that we're all gonna die... We might not know who's gonna die first, but we're all gonna die.

Even some spiritual leaders have lost some of their loved ones.

You're just lucky that you've only lost a grandmother because prayers can't prevent deaths from happening when it's time for someone to die, but what they'll do is comfort you spiritually.

But if you believe that prayers and fasting are the reason most of your loved ones are still alive, then you're entitled to your own opinion.
I do not argue.
You are sure correct.
Thank you.

May God keep us from sudden death and give strengths to do that have lost theirs to bear it.
RomanceRe: Nairalanders That Have Lost Loved Ones: How Did You Cope? by Johncuppa(m):
Samantha124:
There was a time I was like you, I had not lost a loved one and I used to consider myself lucky until death came knocking on the 25th of December 2009... It was my grandfather and he was laid to rest on the 31st of December, his birthday.

I loved that man so much, he was like my second father... Whenever I'd visit, he'd fill the fridge with all my favorite snacks and dairy products... He'd also cook for me whenever my grandmother wasn't around and the man was not such a bad cook.

Well, at least he was an old man and as we were moving on, my brother past away on the 2nd of February 2010 and was laid to rest on the 8th of February... It wasn't easy, I was still young then and I'd sometimes have nightmares... My parents had to move me to their bedroom for a while... The whole thing still affects me even today because whenever I hear that a loved one is sick, I'd panic.

On three occasions I suffered a panic attack in public and it was so embarrassing... First time was at the school of law, I had went there to consult with one of my lecturers when I contacted my sister to ask her about our father because I couldn't get hold of him all morning... When she told me that he was hospitalized, at first I acted calm... But immediately I hung up the phone, I started panicking and one of the lecturers who was passing by noticed that I wasn't okay.

He came to me and asked me what was wrong, but I couldn't speak... He then called the school's principal administrator and together they took me to the administrator's office... They got me a glass of water and tried to get me to calm down and after a while, I was finally able to speak and told them what was wrong... They then asked for my father's contact details so they could call him just to ensure me that everything was going to be fine... He finally picked up the call and he ensured me that he was going to be okay and that I shouldn't worry much.

The second time was back then when my sister had issues with fibroids, sometimes her condition would be so severe, I'd be afraid that I might lose her like I lost my brother... One time I was at the library when I started crying... I thought studying would keep my mind occupied, but I was wrong.

And the last time I panicked in public was at my grandmother's funeral... From the day her death was announced, I didn't cry because I thought she was old and it was her time, but I guess I was just being in denial of her death because all the emotions came crashing on the day of the funeral, I even passed out and woke up in the clinic.

Ever since my brother's death, I'm always afraid whenever someone close to me isn't feeling well... They say time heals all wounds, but as for me I don't know, I feel like I haven't gotten over my brother's death because whenever someone doesn't feel well, I always fear that the person is gonna die like he did.
PoliticsRe: Forex Restrictions On 43 Items Resulted In $1.4 Billion Revenue Drop — Cardoso by Johncuppa(m):

No matter how you want to look at it, Long term, Nigeria needs people with balls, people that can take the fall, people like Emefiele that can take some risks. People that knows the importance of localization of economy and import substitution. We need to take outside the box approach. We don’t need people like IMF and the WB feeding us Stale economic jackshit! Protecting our local industry is key!

Well God has taken over, but yiu see those household enemies?

They are more dangerous than the average kidnapper or Nigerian police, those household enemies would never stop till they render you useless like a used female pad. And guess what, it takes the grace of God before you realize what has actually happened to you.
Some don't until they eventually die.

Its a sad sad world.

The average black man is filled with wickedness and jealousy, they won't succeed and they don't want to see you succeed either. That includes some members of your family.
God help us all.
Most educated and elites still believe this thing is a myth. Until people experience it, spirituality is difficult to explain

If you want to know a stupid person especially a very stupid unlearned Nigerian just ask him do you support israel or palestine. Without due research they will quote the bible for you claiming God gave them the land. Isn't it thesame God who expelled them if you want to go by bible facts?

God can never give you a gift and you end up having so much problem with it.

Solomon wisdom
Samson strength ( he did himself )
Abraham, Jacob wealth
Samuel
Daniel

PBAT, was able to build Lagos that has already been build before he came in, just because he has a lot of technocrat under him then, majority of those people now are no where to be found..

All his new friends are just political jobbers running around PBAT just to fill their pocket and the pocket of their generations yet unborn...

As a God fathers that he has always been, even if he wants the power to shift to Yoruba, I see no reason why he can't back either fashola or oshibajo...

Things has really changed alot in Nigeria, 1999 is different from this present time, and only young president with fresher idea can move this country forward...

Or may be you have an explanation on how Yemi Osinbajo could have won primary election against the tactics used and the money spent. How on earth would anyone know that those men that are now impotent against the economy could have that strategy.
Or with the national arrangements, how would Obi delivered against the massive norther votes?
