ask yourself was africa the only continent taken as slaves or colonized, how com the continent still remain the poorest and the most undeveloped. nothing is exploiting anyone jus as your forefathers exchange themselves for jus mirrors so is it today, a black man is naturally greedy,selfcenter all he wants is pleasure no thought of improvement or trying to seek for innovations all he knows is flex flex, my community has about 7major hotels young ones trooping in and out. any form of anything new and good is from the gademm west so what the f...ck are telling me

Am talking about the real reasons Africa is all you described, you are speaking emotions. White man came all the way with guns, invaded, overpowered and subjected local people everywhere around Africa, some resisted, a lot died...the white man used the advantage of Canon and guns. It was a well planned slave era, an international business, majority of blacks were against it, of course they were some who valued money more than their people...but absolving white man from blame shows you are ignorant and naive and didn't know the scope of the slave trade....blacks from everywhere were targeted for their economic expansion and national development.

After world war 1 and world war 2, the white man sat down again shared African states to their sphere of interest, created World bank in Brettton Woods USA, in 1944, all to ensure they profit from African economies, through economic schemes, like using the IMF loan to trap African nations, using WTO to enforce trade liberalization and open borders etc...they are in control.

Open up your senses, emancipate yourself from mental slavery. All you are talking of are traits of some black men, some white men too have those traits, they are greedy, and junkie white men too, its beyond individual characters, its a systemic deliberate plan by them to be in charge and on top perpetually.

Study and learn...the real issue is that, the white man planned deliberately, invaded Africa, used religion as a tool to keep Africans meek, but they had their guns too, and the Queen sent in mobilization to quell rebellion, like it happened in Benin, Lagos and several parts of Nigeria. Study don't just speak out of emotions.

Sometimes good loving is what we need to be okay. Ladies open up, get some loving in your lives, don't be too conservative...time is fast.

helinues:
Stop crying on my mentions, is that hard for you to adhere to

We all have different ways of handling issues, allow us to do in the way we know best without pokenosing

If you look at events of history, you will understand why people don't trust fulanis. Remember the invasion of hausa states, remember encroaching in Kwara, and seizing the opportunity to take over...those who don't learn from history...

Peace pact mean Yoruba have given concession...there don't need to be any pact before you cease attacking people... yorubas should be careful, a pact is an agreement...why don't Yoruba have pact on Northern territories... this is giving in, a subtle surrender.

Pootle:
your ancestors paid the price you enjoying now,

From slavery to colonization, from direct colonization, to neo colonization, economic and social colonization still exists in the form of economic exploitation of Africa, using WTO, IMF and their various schemes, all to put them in control and give them access to our markets and resources. We need to break it for real enjoyment/prosperity for Nigeria.

APC is ridiculing itself, how can an APC spokesman talk like this when the attorney general has said EFCC can not be stopped when going after anyone for investigation.

This man is not wise, so he is going against what the attorney general has finalized on. Mr you are an unlearned man, just a paid spokesman, your views are false and inconsequential.

So you need to sign pact to stop attacking people. Evil people.

We should be building all these. Governors of Delta, Warri axis utilize the water, train your youths in ship welding and building, start building boats and ships.

Good, support them with loans to buy the tools they need.

So if subsides go, we get more refineries , more investment in refineries and more jobs created because now everyone is free to make profit sellon petrol

After high prices initially, prices drop because competition.

And we spend less forex meaning we become less dependent on IMF loans.

Plus we no longer import fuel from imperialist nations. That's the koko

I agree with this your submission partly, but subsidies don't need to go finally, Nigeria earns enough, government must keep subsidizing things like food, transportation, healthcare and electricity for the masses, to keep the people going and general economy going, also to keep the people happy and peaceful. Too much hardship leads to unrest, increase in crime etc.

Federal and state government should put in work, use revenue to make more money, by investing in smart private controlled enterprises, to boost production and profit for the state, not just consume and waste revenue and inflows... states can invest in good projects, ideas, stocks etc. government don't need to run such investments, but should invest, to create jobs, boost productivity and earn profits, invest and allow private professionals run it, for a fee.

Our finance minister and his team are very intelligent, I believe they have the good interest of Nigeria at heart, they will do the job, that is their job, to plan economic policies and ensure all policies benefit Nigeria and Nigerians, grow the economy, boost production and reduce importation amd demand for dollars for imports. Let us listen to the finance minister and the economic team and smart Nigerians like Sir Rewane, Falana not IMF. iMF is our problem!

This lady just dey enjoy, look fresh. But she don put in work though. Give people money, don't spray it.

EFCC need to focus on Governors and Ministers, as well as house of assembly and Senate. These are the people controlling our national wealth, their corruption affects our existence as a nation...put more priority and resources in doing undercover in ministries and planting informants in every government ministry and state government apparatus. Follow the expenditure and demand balance sheet from state governors.

nairalanda1:
Had a reply for you, but since you are still being abusive by calling me enslaved brain, when I haven';t even abused you, I don't think we can continue

Things cost money. Sadly

IMF is one of our biggest problem, it's a shame you don't realize, IMF was formed as a business, Europeans came together and discussed how they can mobilize and channel the world's revenue via loans for interests...that is how we started keeping reserves with them, which they use as part of their funds to run their private business...even world bank is a Private business and works closely with IMF...we deposit the money, they give it back to us as loans, with interests and conditionalities.

If you are smart at all, you will know IMF is one of our economic problems, most people know this, because it is the fact. Wise men like Sir Falana have told Tinubu to distance from IMF advice, remove ourselves from their global trade system that benefits dollar and European economies, and join BRICS. Are you wiser than Falana?

nairalanda1:
I don't recall abusing you, young man.




Probably the difference between us being so broke, we cannot pay much for anything.

Plus, many of those loans are induced by subsides and price setting. That's what many eastern european countries did. They did subsides, ended up in debt, and at the end of the day, they were in big trobule....so IMF.

Romania and the old USSR are good examples.

Countries that do not do subsides rarely end up in IMF bondage.




You also allow free investment in local production, and things like more money for power supply, which long term would improve local production, and eventually, make you like an exporter.

As seen in South Korea, China and Japan, and many European countries.


[

ON the other hand, over 50 years of subsidy are why we are not self sufficent in fuel and in power supply.

Sadly things cost money. Removing subsidy would enable domestic companies pay for stuff to make services better...which is good for Nigeria in the long run, and gasp...makes us less dependent , if not free from IMF.

IMF WANTS Us not to be in a place where we take loans. Foreign countries who contribute to IMF Budgets do not like giving free money to third world nations.

We are not sufficient because we depend on imports, which PMS and diesel are part of, this is the part that your small enslaved brain can't understand...we are importing that is why we have no functional refinery until Dangote came on board...the IMF used a strategy, they knew if we get used to importing, it will be hard for us to imbibe a culture of production, because we will become lazy. If you are a gen z ask your father before IMF gave us loans, Nigeria was producing most of what we consume, Volkswagen had a plant here so did pegeout churning out cars in Nigeria, dollar to naira was equal, naira to pounds was equal, in late 1970s, because we didn't need dollars and pounds for imports, we were self sufficient, because there was no conditionalities forcing us to open our borders, we should have continued on that path...but IMF lured us with their loans, and dragged us into this path of waste, no production, just a consuming people. This is my point, go into history do your research, because you are contradicting yourself...IMF loans is the problem, we never needed it, it was because the politicians were corrupt so they accepted the loan.

IMF has never told our government, we will pay for supply and installation of factory equipment, train your engineers across the geopolitical zones, how to maintain the factories, that will be producing everyday necessities, never.

All IMF advice us to do is to, remove subsidy, so you earn more revenue to service your loans and pay the principal sum.

By removing subsidy you kill small businesses which are the backbone of Nigeria economy, what are they doing with the excess money now that they stopped fuel subsidy, giving more money to governors, and we know how governors are...it is better we have subsidies, grow the economy...and with subsidies government can give companies tax waivers, free lands, and other incentives, so the companies sell their goods at lower rates to the Nigerian consumer, so the average Nigerian have more disposable income, so we demand more from each other, as long as we are building production capacity alongside... We need smart people, not people without ideas, to rule this country.

Sadly most youths like you are half baked, soaked in their indoctrination of the West, you can never decipher their deceit with a shallow mind, even though history has clearly showed you, that the white man only works for his interest.

IMF is protecting the interest of Europeans, those are the people who formed it, and that of their investors, foreign bodies can give loans to IMF, IMF doesn't give free money Nigeria is just a customer to them(this is why I said you seem ignorant of what IMF is, it is a loan company, Paris club). We should not listen to IMF.

nairalanda1:
USA does not subsidise healthcare for all it's people. Instead, you pay health insurance companies premiums to do so, and even then the copay can leave an American in debt. Yes there is something called medicare, but it is for means tested poor people , not everyone, and you can be dropped by your hospital if you carry it as it does not pay much

Education at primary and secondary level is paid for via taxes. Which everyone pays. Unlike Nigeria where we pay for everything via oil money which ain't sufficient. University is paid for via loans . That have to be paid back. Noting like subsidies . Maybe you may pay less of you choose to attend your state college. Maybe.

Food is not free for Americans. Unless you are very very poor, meaning you receive some assistance. Ie food stamps. Food costs money there.

Transport? Not that subsided. Public transport is good in some major cities, in other places it is so bad that if you do not have a car , wahala dey

USA does not subsidise fuel at all. Infact prices of fuel have tax added on top in some states self. Maybe the government may pay some money to the refineries there to help with costs.

Free salaries? Lol. Maybe welfare which isn't available to all, and is heavily funded by taxes.

Better take IMF advice serious.

Now I see you are an educated slowpoke, and blatant liar, America pays unemployment and welfare checks till tomorrow to its citizens, born Americans that are either disabled, unemployed or too old to work...stop sounding like an ignorant. Subsidy doesn't mean free, it means government is investing some part of public revenue, either in form of concessions, tax waivers, investment etc, to make products and services cheaper(this is the work of government, or you want the politicians to keep all the revenue to themselves...only a politician or one of their stooge like that type of arrangement, because more money goes to their pocket)

I don't like engaging people that are not intelligent about what they are saying, but on a second thought, for the sake of enlightening the public....i will give a little lesson.

Tell me what benefit Nigeria has had since we started collecting IMF loans, with it's bunch of conditionalities.

IMF trade conditions is about trade liberalization and open borders, this means once you sign up with them, you will allow EUROPEAN imports into your country, without restrictions... knowing fully well that this model favors their advanced economies in Europe...they have more factories, equipments, produce more at a cheaper rate(economies of scale).

I suggest you read up on IMF conditionalities...Do you know what open borders agreement is, that was what turned Nigeria to an import dumping ground, IMF will insist you open your borders for imports, knowing the Europeans already have the advantages of production in large scale, hence we become the buyers, and consumers, from then till now, we became lazy and as our population grows, it gets harder to bridge the gap between our production and consumption, hence our imports volume keeps going up from then till now. If we didn't sign up for this, we would have been serious about production when we had a smaller population, our economy would have grown, people more prosperous. IMF is not a blessing to us, IMF represents the European world powers, it is a lenders club, Paris club, their aim is their interest. We need home grown solutions to home grown economic issues.

vowiski:
EFCC is an irresponsible agency.

You declare wanted a man everyone knows his location, of course only EFCC doesn’t know where Bello is in Nigeria.

This joke is on you

Move forward to the jokes section.

Old Cultists posing as association leaders

What is a 45years old man doing in NANS, is it not for university students?

Pure fact

Melagros:
I dey tell you

They are all hypocrites and money hungry people, that is the worst part

DeOTR:
Unless you can explain the difference between the Hammer of Thor and Ose Sango, and the fact that the two entities are gods of thunder but from different people, I'll take it that you have absolutely no knowledge of either of them.

My guy, the dumbness and mental slavery of adults here is alarming, and most of them claim educated, intelligent etc, but really ignorant.

Kewtt:
Then if "we" local Kogi people are naive leave us alone. However if you are intelligent all you have said constitutes grounds for the EFCC appeal. The FHC and SHC are courts of coordinate jurisdiction

He broke Nigeria laws, Nigeria will deal with him. It's Nigeria's business.

phorget:
So why haven't we also progress?

Just stop talking nonsense like a village lad.

Pootle:
the general perception is right, what would have come of you if those white folks neglected and forsake you forefathers black sorry ass....plain answer to that is nothing. oga face reality that why ye all wanna travel there.

The white folks enslaved your ancestors, are you praising them for enslaving your ancestors

It's poor people that want to travel and escape poverty not everyone.
Slave mentality is deep.

Pootle:
no one indoctrinating shit am a f..cking artiest if i where to believe in a god i will prefer the white man one. not some ragtag fanta drinking god, forget this self pity shit most africans bring into discussion when it pertain to religion,culture and all

That's the zombie mentality, not just about religion, but general perceptions. Just like you said you will believe the white God, lol, nothing like black or white God.

We are not using our drones and air assets properly

decatalyst:
Enemies of Nigeria, is that you? 🙃



All of the should be arrested and locked up? 😏

Nigerians should be coming out to attack these enemies of Nigeria, these rogues posing as civil organizations...they are a crowd for hire...thieves.

Paid agents and sycophants. Arrest them

Kewtt:
No higher court has been involved. The court of appeal is to give judgement next week

An Abuja Court has...the point is, the state court have no powers to bar an investigating agency...the judge was being nice to Yahaya, because, obviously, he works for them(kogi state court judge).

Your local kogi people can be naive and foolish but not Nigerians.

Kewtt:
Lies, if you have a case go to court. In reality you ought to be chiding EFCC for seemingly deliberately bungling the case....the more you look...the less you see

You are a paid agent.

Kewtt:
You're being unreasonable just like the EFCC. What makes him unreasonable? When he sues the EFCC for declaring him wanted we'd be alive to witness

He has to submit himself to EFCC. You cheap paid agents need to tell him to come out and face his crimes. A higher court upheld the EFCC's right to go after him, and besides a state court can not bar a constitutionally recognized institution like EFCC from doing its job. That state judge obviously is trying to be nice to Bello.

Have the governor of kogi been asked where he is hiding him?

The governor having immunity doesn't mean he can shield a wanted man.

What the Bleep is wrong with Nigeria?

How can a governor be hiding a fugitive?

udomonday:
she is the one taking care of herself,she can always get a guy to oil her engine whenever she feels like.

This kind engine no free oiling o... premium engine.

phorget:
Because those gods you mentioned has not in anyway helped us to progress but their gods made them achieve greatness.

Lies, science, technology and appropriate utilization of resources and slave era helped them progress.
