Politics / Re: Strengthening Nigeria-India Ties Is A Win-Win For All - Minister Of Industry by Johnrake69: 6:38pm On Sep 08, 2023
We should stop deceiving ourselves. Investors put their money where there’s rule of law and strong public institutions.

Imagine as a an investor the country’s judiciary where you want to invest money make comparison between speeding ticket and Narcotics and money laundering crime.

Indians are not stupid. In India, if you threaten to sue someone for just $200 especially when it’s a business disagreement the offending party will be pleading then compare that to Nigeria?

Where people buy injunctions upon injunctions. Two different High court’s giving opposing rulings. And we’re looking for foreign investors. Lol

The only people that can invest in Nigeria in its current state are Nigerians in diaspora. And e bi like they themselves don wise.

Only the unproductive ones who cannot differentiate their left from right. There are destitutes even in America.

Lol… you lots are so clueless. You don’t know government policy can make it’s citizens rich or poor? Go and check what India has achieved within the last 10years. Strong leadership is the panacea for a vibrant economy which leads to improved economic wellbeing of the people.

Within the last 10years India moved from 11th biggest economy to fifth biggest economy in the world.

From $1.8 trillion GDP to $3.75 Trillion. What did Nigeria achieve to even make it’s citizens prosperous? It doesn’t matter what divide you’re on if you don’t know that Nigeria has been on negative trajectory then you’re the biggest fool I have seen.

It doesn’t matter if you’re doing well for yourself. It will only take one unfortunate incident and you’re back to zero. Not to talk about the level of insecurity. I find it funny when people that are not even anything in life will try to mock fellow citizens because you feel you’re better off.

Bandits got a hold of a whole former chief of Defense staff, Alex Badeh and killed him and the people that killed him didn’t know who he was then common you when no be anything. I pity y’all with this foolish mindset.

Shettima is a charlatan. Is carbon dioxide emission the problem of Nigeria and Africa in general?

The top 5 global economies produces more than 70% of global carbon dioxide emissions. And they haven’t come up with a crazy policy that will starve their people under the guise of reducing emissions

Politics / Re: Tinubu Moves To Block Atiku’s Fresh Petition On Chicago Records by Johnrake69: 10:12am On Jul 21, 2023
seunmsg:
Atiku the sore loser and perennial presidential aspirant who is not destined to be president. The petition he filed in Nigeria against Bola Tinubu where he raised this same issue has not been decided and he’s in another US court chasing shadows around.

Atiku is a born loser as far as the presidency of Nigeria is concerned. Sadly, his empty ego and crass belief in fake marabouts won’t let him see the foolishness of his obsessive pursuit of an ambition he’s not destined to fulfill. He will lose again as always.

You guys are supporting nonsense. I will never be bothered about anyone writing to UNN about my academic records. If they like they can spend the next 100years writing and searching. I will never flinch. But Tinubu obviously have something to hide and here we’re with so called educated people defending nonsense. And some people still believe Nigeria will suddenly become progressive? Very laughable.

With the current trajectory Nigeria and it’s economy will soon be competing with Zimbabwe.

If you haven’t noticed…over 16% Increase in money supply within a month with no corresponding increase in production. Nigerian economy is shrinking by the day. Our highest source of earning FX which is diaspora’s foreign remittances is no more performing as they have lost total confidence in the nation. We’re on our own. And here you’re defending nonsense.

We should all be ashamed in this country. Sanwolu, and the one in Ogun state are busy trying to cover their ass on the Waec certificate they submitted. The one in Enugu is fighting Nysc DG over forged certificates. You think any sensible person will want to invest into anything in this country? You guys should continue your praise singing to people that don’t give a shit about this country. Until all Nigerians become a refugee to foreign countries maybe that’s when we will have sense.

Lack of professionalism. If you're chasing an unarmed suspect if you can't chase him down then retreat and plan again using Intel.

States that are dying to have investors come invest are places like Benue and Taraba. If you want to build something for business those guys can actually donate land. I have been made such an offer in the past.

The so called subsidies removal is already a failed policy.

Procashtips:


Let me break this done to you.
The UN is using their own yardstick to decide what is poor and what's not.
Majority of the people making up the UN are from a region where capitalism reign supreme.

Where it takes at least $5-$10 to get a good meal, but somewhere in Nigeria or Uganda, with $1-$2, you will get a solid balaced meal with all the complete nutrients in them.


So it's easy to think those who feed with $1-$2 per meal are extremely poor when you judge them with what someone in Switzerland is expected to spend on an average balanced meal.

I do not judge poverty through the eyes of the UN or the West, i judge it based on what you're getting as value compared to the strength of your own currency.

Electricity should not be used to judge who's poor or not, do you know that there are rich men who build houses that are almost 100% natural?

Do you know that there are more healthy people in the villages than the cities?

Do you know that there are more older people in rural areas than urban areas?

Why so?

Shouldn't the poor people in the villages and rural areas be dying like flies (Before 40yrs)? Whereas its the people we see as not poor that are dying before 50.

Poverty using the eyes of the privileged can't be accurately defined.

Bro that was in the past. A kilo of chicken is cheaper in America than in Nigeria as of today. Some families can’t afford to add protein to their meals anymore. This is serious.

The figures I quoted was from National Bureau of Statistics. I believe they have a better understanding of the subject matter.

So tell me, why should I believe that 130M are in multi-whatever - poverty when UN said it's 70M people?

What can be worst than extreme poverty?

BTW, poverty is a broad word and doesn't have to be lack of money or whatever.

So I want to believe the multi dimensional poverty you're talking about here includes 'illiteracy, mental poverty, intellectual poverty, moral poverty or does the "multi dimensional poverty" not cover these ones?

BTW, I am not surprised with the policies, there has never been a government in Nigeria that was better than the previous one, so expecting some sort of a miracle means you can be deceived easily.

Nigeria might actually have more than 150M people in extreme poverty.

The problem with many of us is that we view Nigeria from the top. Where you see people spending money on social media.

In 2013 when I left school I got a job where I was paid 24K. Sometimes I have to trek from Oshodi under bridge to inside Ilupeju just to save #50 for Keke and I will be sweating. When it’s time for breakfast I will skip then I will wait till 12pm or 1pm before I eat so it can take me home. My point here is that Nigerians living under this conditions are in their majority till this day.

In the course of doing business I have seen what extreme poverty looks like in places like Benue, Taraba, Cross River.

Majority of the villages in Boki LGA in Cross River have never had access to electricity, then clean water is luxury. They don’t even know what it means to shout up Nepa.

Just yesterday, it made homepage here that we have 70M people living in extreme poverty, within 24hrs, you have increased it to 130M people.

By the end of the year another 50M people would have joined the 130M number of extremely poor Nigerians.

The Voodoo Economics of APC is mind boggling. 200% increase in fuel, Tuition fees for University students, 7.5% vat in AGO and PMS, 40% hike in electricity cost. When we already have over 130M in multi dimensional poverty. How will this bring people out of poverty? Massive reduction of the people’s purchasing power is never a good thing especially when the money will be stolen by few people in government.

These massive hike will definitely impact on economic activities negatively.

As you’re complaining of poor wages, your Employer could be contemplating on reducing the number of workers under their employment.

And we’re making excuses for them. Next will be health. FG will say they can’t find public hospitals again. And I wonder what they would fund aside from their luxurious lifestyle.

A president that moves with 60 cars on his convoy with 10 Presidential Jets that is more than enough to float a National carrier is telling you that is earning little above 30K to endure for a better tomorrow.
Well… The question is will you be alive to witness the better tomorrow with this level of economic hardship? Time will tell.

Modified
For people quoting me about the figure of 130M people living in multidimensional poverty please go through this Nairametrics report 7months ago.
