Jobs/VacanciesRe: Fuel Subsidy Has Been Removed But My Salary Remain The Same by Johnrake69: 12:54pm On Jun 20, 2023
Procashtips:
How do you guys manufacture stats like this?

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

https://www.nairaland.com/7732935/over-70m-nigerians-extremely-poor

Do you people get high with bad news?

Do you delight in spreading bad news even if they are lies?
Ordinarily I wouldn’t have responded to you but it will be unfair to allow you wallow in ignorance here is the report 7months ago. Till date Nigeria has nothing less than 130M people living in multidimensional poverty.

https://nairametrics.com/2022/11/17/133-million-nigerians-are-multidimensionally-poor-nbs/?amp=1

You never responded to the logic behind the current policies which is the core message.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Fuel Subsidy Has Been Removed But My Salary Remain The Same by Johnrake69:
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.

PoliticsRe: Now That Subsidy Is Gone, What Is The Plan? - Babajide Fadoju by Johnrake69: 8:10am On Jun 11, 2023
Myopic understanding of the impact of fuel subsidy in our economy.

Fuel subsidy did subsidize everything in our economy.

Transportation, food, Healthcare, Education, Laundry, saloons, housing, car maintenance, home appliances, etc.

We should expect 50% -200% increment on some of these things.

We should also be ready for a recession. Many Nigerians can’t afford to go to work anymore.

Especially people earning minimum wage because it doesn’t make any economic sense. Earning 30K then spending over #1000 daily on transportation.

Many businesses will close up shop.

Okealaaye:
No genuine Nigerian, especially those Nigerians who have stood by their country through thick and thin will want their country to be run aground. None whatsoever. Ajaero or whatever he calls himself is highly partisan. He cannot lead a charge in this matter without exposing his fidelity to the desires of the Labour Party! Nigerians be cautious - the folks who went to war against us in the past are wide awake still. They may mouth patriotism all the time, but deep inside them is the desire to see our Fatherland fall into evil days. Do not agree with them the day they tell you that the goals and objectives of the mamba and the rat are the same!

That's Ajaero standing by Peter Obi on the Campaign hosting!
You mumu eh… This was clearly during the workers day rally that was held in Abuja.

Peter when to the worker’s day rally to celebrate with them.

This Tinubu and APC tribal politics has become a cancer
PoliticsRe: FG, TUC Meeting On Fuel Subsidy Removal Ends In Deadlock by Johnrake69: 10:13am On Jun 05, 2023
Ruggedniggaone:
I expected train to have started working before the removal of the subsidy to reduce the cost of long distance travelling how am I going to survive paying 20k from zaria to the West from 7k 8k to more than 20k this is wickedness a lot of people will die of starvation if this continue
People underestimate the power of fuel subsidies in our daily lives.

People supporting fuel subsidies removal are either ignorant or gaining something from government.

If Average Nigerian is not sure of earning minimum of 250K don’t even talk about fuel subsidy removal.

The level of insecurity that will hit Nigeria will be unprecedented.

Bokoharam already recruit people for 30K according to several media reports. Over 130M Nigerians are in Multidimensional poverty and the government wants to expose them to International price movement for goods and services. We’re joking

Some people think because they earn #1M or #1.5M monthly they’re now part of the elites reason they advocate for rubbish.

Meanwhile the gateman in your house earns less than 30K. Your maid earns less than 30K.

Government will not stop at fuel subsidy removal.
Public schools is already dead. They’re coming for universities soon. You pay through your nose to get a degree.

400gram of Tin powdered Peak milk is now about #4000.

It will never get better. They’re promising a future that only their families will be alive to witness because average Nigerian would have died off due to overwhelming hardship.

PoliticsRe: Subsidy Removal: Revert To Status Quo – TUC Tells FG by Johnrake69: 12:37pm On Jun 03, 2023
The way Tinubu’s men are attacking NLC and TUC leadership shows how dirty Tinubu’s politics is. Asking workers to ignore their Labour union leadership is just so despicable.

You removed subsidy before engaging stake holders, what was he expecting? We should all start worshipping him despite the untold suffering of Nigerians.

Someone that moves with over 60 vehicles on his convoy and currently have 10 presidential jets is telling Nigerians to endure.

If you be Tinubu supporter I sorry for you. Zombies.

Hello! Bill gate has been making money for decades and still making money.

Is Peter the richest man in South-East or Nigeria? He has every opportunity to expand his business. Elon and Bezos are still expanding their businesses till date .

Not wasting money that count breed 50,000 fish fingerlings on a lost course
Peter Obi is an accomplished Entrepreneur full stop.

You’re not anywhere close to giving him a financial advice.

Peter Obi with Card centre limited crashed the price of SIM cards in Nigeria.

Peter Obi with Paymasters help launch electronic payment in Nigeria. Deployment of ATM and POS terminals.

If he has decided to occupy himself with societal issues I believe it’s his prerogative

Peter should channel the energy and funds into other sectors like Agriculture.

Oil palm plantation and fish farming are highly profitable ventures he can go into.
Na Peter Obi you dey advise on what to do to make money?

Some of Una just dey very slow.

Someone that was already Chairman of Fidelity Bank before he was 38years old. Una really dey funny.

As far back as 1996 he already bought 1 million pounds house in the UK and paid cash.

What we are seeing is beyond political grievances. We have a particular ethnic group that are angry about the ethnicity of the incoming president and nothing else. Nothing can appease them except the head of Tinubu. Simply put, they are too full of hatred to be appeased. We will just mange them Witt their hatred for another 4 years.
This is a very foolish thing to say. In the whole of Nigeria it’s only in Lagos where Tinubu reigns supreme are non Yoruba residents threatened with violence during elections and this is not the first time. And none have been prosecuted.

But continue with your foolishness. I haven’t seen tribalistic people like APC supporters.

The first Mayor of Enugu was a Fulani Man from Sokoto state in 1952. And he was duly elected by the indigenous people of Enugu. His name is Mallam Altine Umaru and held the position till 1958.

Igbos have always led by example.

Foreign AffairsRe: Sudan War: Visa Officials Exploit Nigerian Students At Ethiopian Border by Johnrake69:
Is the ambassador supposed to be sending letters or fly to Ethiopia to get Nigerians out?

This is the time we need good leadership. We all want good leadership but when presented with an opportunity to choose a leader that will lead from the war front we choose people that will rather go to France and UK for medical than build our hospitals.


This is really sad. I supported Peter Obi and Datti for this reason. We have been so accustomed to absentee leadership.

On many occasions I have seen Secretary of State in America traveling to the Middle East just for one American citizen.

I saw those traits in Peter Obi when he was governor. He didn’t send commissioner of environment to meet with flood victims. He was there himself helping to evacuate flood victims and even gave them government house as temporary shelter.

We can’t continue like this. We need people that will serve Nigerians and not Nigerians serving them like we have experienced with Buhari. The only thing that improved after 8years of APC’s administration was Buhari’s health.
