Couple of decades since that's what you want. Now rest

braveboi4life:
Wike is a greedy folk, proud and claims to be self made, The Jonathan's made him minister and governor yet they never came near govt house when they left office.

He never learnt from Jagabans style of leadership, be in front but let the people dictate the direction

He would loose woefully

You summarised all in clear terms. People saying tinubu did same thing are not intelligent. Tinubu didn't need to over do it. You can control things without directly pressing the buttons. For the fact that you made a governor you are in charge largely. Then you want to appoint everyone for him, that's going too far. I would preferred he allow sim to come up with his choice then he can suggest or approve.

benardtotti:
Not a popular opinion but Fubara is fighting a loosing battle , he has fallen into the trap wike and BAT set for him and pdp , they have a false hope that the template that worked in edo will work in Rivers, unfortunately BAT is not buhari , he is a marchavelian when it comes to politics and when the time is ripe they will pull the rug 0ff the feet of Fubara and pdp.

It's a dicey situation but the president has the advantage. If sim is removed and the ijaws start attacking oil facilities that would affect the country economy more and his government. On the other hand the president can call wike to order or simply throw him under the bus( sack him) while he gets sim promise to work for his 2027 bid.

Spirit04:
funny thing is that Tinubu can decide to bury Wike and it will not even take 10 seconds. If he sacks Wike now he's dead and buried forever

you read my mind; he is so vulnerable to jagaban now. He can simply throw him under the bus and he would be a political orphan. He would go on excile

Nigerians never stops o amaze me. Every time a story of Dangote refinery comes up, I see a lot of people complaining. Some go as far as saying the refinery is a scam.

First and foremost, there is no businessman who doesn't want to make money from his investment. Dangote wants to make money, and he has invested billions into this project, and he will do anything to make sure it succeeds. Like every other businesses, there are going to be hiccups and delays and other issues before it fully kicks off. This is not a fast food restaurant project. Engineering and mechanical projects of this magnitude will certainly face challenges before fully operational.

Why are people calling this project scam?? Like really??

Dangote wants to make money and he certainly will. I think you guyz should focus on your own life and projects cause Dangote will succeed with this.

are you minding them? Everything na scam to them. Irrespective of the situation the refinery is closer to working than ever. And most people here just comment with no economic knowledge. Having the refinery work is not about getting fuel to 50naria per litre. Let's not think from the perspective of cheaper fuel alone but improved productivity. Would it really matter how much fuel is, if majority are earning well through industrialisation. It's more about affordability not cheap. Fuel could be 50naira and people still poor. The refinery working has a lot of benefits. The diesel alone can make fuel price drop because cheaper diesel means tankers would deliver fuel at cheaper rates. Let's be optimistic

Prices must drop. A lot of gains are expected when this refinery comes on board. The landing cost of fuel would be reduced. The fuel won't cross the sea and back. When diesel becomes available cost of moving fuel around the country would drop hence fuel prices would drop. We would save forex used from importing fuel thereby increasing our naira strength. More industrialisation. The gains are enormous. It's not about crashing the fuel prices alone. Are you aware that the diesel has more impact of the masses than fuel. Food prices are high because manufacturers use diesel for production, transportation. Even petrol tankers use diesel.

Spermatogenesis; the process by which sperms are specifically produced in the seminiferous tubules of the testes during the meotic cell division.

Women should go on strike and stop giving birth jhor, world population too much. And men should stop donating thier sperm too. Make everybody rest.

This is me, I have been battling depression because of this. I'm 34, I dread speaking in the public. I have attended public speaking classes to no avail ( I stopped going when it was getting practical). I avoided speaking in class till I graduated. I have never had a girlfriend that I toasted myself. I used to be a chronic mastubator, I'm trying to overcome that. Many times I wish I could end it all. I feel worhless, I'm always alone, being amongst people scare me. I always feel awkward and ashamed. The irony of it all is I do my own business and It's going well. I don't have friends. It's difficult to make friends with me as I always appear to be frowning. I know one day I would have the courage to end it all.

I use to see Seyi Tinubu as a smart dude who would deliberately stay away from Aso Villa and instead operate silently bringing in business from outside Nigeria to explore opportunities in Nigeria, create employment and boost the economy while securing handsome stake in their local operations. I use to think he is a TRUE entrepreneur.

But by this singular act of unnecessarily sneaking into FEC chamber to attend its meeting unauthorized, Seyi Tinubu has shown that he just is a lazy dumb head and that all the businesses that were touted as his are just empty shells. He is just a helpless "omo daddy". In fact Buhari's son has proven a smarter person.

Seyi Tinubu fall hand big time. Now, his dad has subtly chased him out of Aso Villa since he refused to have sense. His value has taking a big crumble and people in Aso Villa will always see him as busybody. I am sure he will either fly out of Nigeria to cry on his wife's shoulders or man up and explore opportunities.

couldn't have been put better

Zionmdde:
Now if you don't have evidence that they have done things but base you stupid assumptions on what you don't know then just sharrap

You sounded sure the government didn't engage with them first and check my comment. I used "may". You dumb head just concluded on behalf of the government. I hope you have Evidences the government didn't engage them first.

Zionmdde:
They should keep shutting down markets and businesses. Soon businesses will be afraid to make investments. What happened to partnering with the market to keep the environment clean.

What happened to supervising a once in a week total sanitation where one person from every shop must show up or risk heavy fines

Let them continue driving away businesses

will you keep quiet. So government just wake up and decide to close down a market. Don't you think they may done all these things you mentioned and the traders didn't comply.

Shikini:
I knew from beginning that Alaba and Trade Fair were their target. They started with small small markets, then Ladipo market, before hitting the big ones.

Nigerian politicians are so predictable. I even told a a friend that all those small markets Alausa were closing were smoke screens. The ultimate targets were Alaba and Trade Fair.
.

Keep quiet. Is the closure more important than the reason for the closure. The market wouldn't be closed forever. Once the right thing is done it would be re opened. Everything should not be politicised and it's not always about ethnicity. So the government should allow dirty environment because you don't want to hurt some people that don't acknowledge Lagos made them.

vannessa7:
That you realise you have a problem is the reason why I'm replying you unlike the op. The first thing you need to do is to build up your self confidence and one sure thing that destroy self esteem is immorality or crime, the more you engage in it the more you violate yourself and low self esteem is the outcome, which means patronizing prostitute is against your being and it is contributing to your low self esteem.

There are many things you can do to develop your self confidence, one major route is to get God, begin to serve God genuinely and you will see a difference, read the word of God first thing in the morning daily and it will heal your soul and take away the desire for immoral sex from you, I have experienced it. You focus on reading the word of God daily either as a Christian or Muslim and worship God. If you prefer Christianity I will recommend RCCG, it's one of the churches where you are sure you will see God , I'm a Muslim though, after reverting to Islam after almost 20 years of being a Christian, check my story of convertion in my profile here on nairaland.

Anyway another route is to get self help books on building self esteem, get as many as possible then read them all.

Also check your life for any habit that can erode your self confidence. Anything that violates the law of God will give you low self esteem to an extent no matter how small. Do away with such habits because you need good self esteem to be able to talk to a good lady and to build a relationship with her that will lead to marriage.

About the place of worship, you need accountability and places of worship can offer you that if you belong to a particular place of worship where you come together for prayers and you build up friendship there with people who are even closer to God than you, you will look out for each other and they will encourage you to be closer to the things of God because of your interaction with them, you will also not be lonely anymore because several opportunity to interact with others will present themselves if you belong to a place of worship,

Also directly ask God to take away the desire to patronize prostitute from you and to give you self confidence, pray this prayer daily and you will surely get answers to your prayers.

thank you so much for this. With these words I feel encouraged and hopeful. I would do as you have advised; so help me God. Thank you.

I'm in tears while typing this. I feel like someone leaked my life story. This is my current predicament only that I'm 33 not 47 and I don't pay that high. After battling masturbation for years, I found myself addicted to prostitutes. I feel very bad after the act. I find it hard to walk up to a girl I like and even if we meet through an event, I lose interest in girls easily as i dont know how to love a girl except to try to sleep with her. I get depressed daily.i have zero social life. I'm just existing in a lonely world. I feel so bad. I need help. 😫

Even if I bought the asoebi, I would still leave. This is highly insensitive to say to people who came to celebrate with you.

Is thus a ploy to discourage people from buying dollars indiscriminately so the naira can breathe?

kokorokoman:
Engineers in the house, is six years not too small for a standard road to start attracting attention for repairs?

he said "MINIMUM"

Don't quit your job
Start POS on the side with like 200k since it requires little capital to start.
Do online courses on Tech.
Keep saving.
NB; 1m is nothing in this current economy. And certainly not a good time to start a reasonable business. I'm into bakery and 1m is barely 20 bags of sugar now. When I started my business in 2019. I bought my oven and mixer for 1m. Sugar was like 10k.

YourMrBoo:
Can't they just map the money to revive some refineries and crash fuel importation killing the forex and inflating fuel price

refineries don't take 2 weeks to fix and people can't endure the sufferings.

From my understanding, this 3bn usd would be pumped into the forex market, thereby making excess dollars available and reduce pressure. This would force speculators and hoarder to sell and even making the dollar crash more. The reason for dollar rise is people buying to store value not to trade. Pin this comment.

festacman:
ECOWAS led by President Tinubu will NOT invade Niger. Tinubu, as a politician, can NEVER ignore the clearly-communicated opposition of the Northern political and religious leaders to military action against their kits and kins in Niger.

I believe what is currently playing out is a hybrid of brinkmanship and psychological warfare. It serves the dual purpose of putting pressure on Junta in Niger and making US and France happy.

nice one bro, most people don't know what it takes to be president. You have to project strength. Deploying or threatening to deploy military assets doesn't necessarily means they would engage. Warfare is mainly psychological.

SmartPolician:
Sanctions only affect ordinary people. Those who masterminded the coup will feel nothing.

but the ordinary people want the military coup

He lacks composure and charisma to be a leader let alone senate president; So unguided and immature. We all know that's what they do but he announced it like it was a parlour gathering without regards for the sensitivity of Nigerians.

Social media need to be regulated in Nigeria. A lot of unverified news online and many people online are not smart to decipher the facts. This clearly, is a sort of maintenance work going on.

I was looking out for only 3 parameters; location, capacity, expected time of commencement and I couldn't find them In this long essay.

Life is about risk but this was a stupid, especially that he didn't open the car wash for himself; something he could have easily done as a side hustle. Then he make a decision based on prospects.
Maybe he got the advice from a mad man

The US Tactical department only need to provide the location the coup leader, then Nigerian airforce take over thier airspace giving the Nigerian ground forces time to advance to the capital. In 24hrs the show would be over with minimal fatalities.

Desammyst:
We pray for peace in Jesus name. Amen!
The way Tinubu is going about this is not right. Everything is all about dialogue, especially when it's a matter that doesn't concern you.

Even the matter that concerns you, e.g. someone owes you money, and refuses to pay back, you will still dialogue.

Buhari was chairman of ECOWAS when there was coup in Mali and the other country. He didn't do anything. Buhari is military general and he was quiet about it. Why? Because he knows the extent military officers go when provoked.

Now Tinubu is provoking Niger's military officers in their own matter. Please he should calm down o, because the entire West Africa would be on shutdown.

May God bless us all. Amen!

are you not aware tinubu sent sultan of sokoto and abdusalami abubakar and they were denied entry into Niamey. How else would a dialogue occur?

madridguy:
This is a false alarm against the innocent girl. From the video I don't see anything that point that she will be selling the water.

Why she is refilling the plastics with water is best known to her but it is very far from hawking it.

moreover how would she seal it or do people drink from unsealed bottles. The claim is not logical but guess what; people must find a way to post on thr media

a4cube:
When agbadorites are shouting cut the cost of governance their baba just the double the ministry to settle his cronies.

relax bro, it's not always about cutting cost, if you are into business you would understand that. Now would you rather spend 1k to make 500 impact or spend 5k to make 15k impact?It's accountability that matters which is our fear, understandably. Let's be positive not every move should be condemned before it is even set in motion. Creating more ministries should been seen as more development not more expenses. For example work, housing and power ought to be 3 ministries, while vio ,frsc and police nscdc can be merged as one because dey duplicate responsibilities.

Zulum:
I am always thinking of that, infact I have divorced her once before our parents interfere and brought her back....u know as Muslims you are entitled to three divorce...so remain two now

But my fear is my 3yrs old son....fear of missing him

Don't worry, he would miss you soon. Dey play
