How many men preek each cucumber or yam ... this is what these girls are using to climax

Maybe she is not his mistress in real sense and you just jump into conclusion

That is worse than a local market village woman way of measuring inflation. So i should simply look at an individual life to measure inflation in a country, dont expect a reply.

Sorry i use to think NBS you market prices survey to compute, no vex

please educate me, how do you measure your own inflation rate

dont expect reply, see 419 🤣🤣 if e sure your papa lets get into the conversation.. economics proper

emiye:
Nigerias inflation has dropped for 6 consecutive months, but that means inflation is volatile in your head, because that is what you choose to interprete.

Use your cost of living to juxtapose the inflation drop ..... we all cant be fuuls how much as your rent dropped to, your children school fee how much did it fall to,
No be fight ... tell us what we dont know

Tareq1105:
As far as you're concerned, the cup is half empty. No positivity, but pessimism. Best of luck to you.

if being realistic is pessimism count me in, i will never live in fuuls paradise

the same world bank that are pushed Tinubu to wound his people are @least Sincere enough to tell him Oga your policies won't yield impact

so what is governance without " impact"

helinues:
Very good. Nigeria's economy future is promising

We are finished people should please stay out of this thread. This is not a sad news

Promising on what you thinkbeconomic development is by doling out forged statistics

By 2026 Tinubu's draconian taxs will further shoot down productivity and trigger inflation becos the market is volatile , so where does investment come in and without investment on what is the economic you envision going to boom

Have you seen his policies does it foster SMEs and productivity, naa propaganda boom you dey expect

Okonjo Iweala, Sanusi Lamido, Femi Adeshina, Charles Soludo and other seasoned economists confirmed the fact that Nigeria's economy is stable. Not some ignorant election losers, especially "the finishing specialist" and his sore followers who had zero understanding on macro and micro economics.
We are steadily recording increase in non oil revenue, GDP growth at 4.2%, stock market highest ever gains, trade surplus, we moved from being an oil import nation to oil export nation, there's steady increase in oil production with OPEC quota benchmark, our debt to revenue reduced to below 50%, debt to GDP projected to reduce further to around 39%. Couple of months back, we paid fully our IMF debts. Our credit ratings have improved everywhere from a negative to a positive within two years. All of these are as a result of a carefully thought out policy reforms. These are clear signs of stability, however, we need to translate these gains down the ladder, to spread developments to the grassroots which is where everyone agreed. But first, without growth, without the gains above, there can't be development.
The issue of food inflation is the biggest elephant in the room and this is mostly a human made factor, Banditry that is bedevilling farmers from going to farms and mass producing is largely a man made factor, it has nothing to do with Govt policy. Buhari tried anchors borrowers to assist farmers but it ended up being a flog, local farmers became more greedy rather than solve the problem of hunger. The current administration has learnt not to follow same old failed route but to import some food to help crash food prices. The President has also approved the creation of forest guards in the meantime, but a state police would provide a lasting solution.
Again, this is a big indictment on the Southern region, if you could still depend on the north for food despite being plagued by banditry, it therefore means, the South is not only mentally lazy but productively lazy. St this crucial point, the south should be coming to the rescue, engage in large scale mechanized farming in all the 17 states and feed the region. The south is even supposed to transport food to the northerners to be able to eat while they're unable go to farms. Why can't the South return the favor?. Unfortunately, the lazy south still depending on trucks of foods coming down south from a plagued north on daily basis, what a shame. All your Governors are sitting on fat allocations doing nothing. The Governors are in charge of lands in their states but are paying no attention to farming. How many youth empowerment programs are they bringing to the people in each local government?, how many traders empowerment in each local government?.

IF you like name Angel gabriel, angel Natasha and angel rufai certified the economic is stable its meaning nothing

Ideally a stable economic will lure FDI, investor are not blind .. thats the main indicator truly the economy is stable

Inflation is still volatile and at double digit then you think you can confuse us economy is stable where are the ripple effects

ElSudani:
You can't get information from people by being confrontational and overtly aggressive. He use words like "I put it to you" and other aggressive words.
You are not a lawyer, your studio is not a court of law and most importantly those you interview are your guests and should be treated with respect even when you ask them tough questions.
He should at least emulate a more experienced Dr. Abati and the other journalists there.

Really !! since when did Nig govt or minister start being accountable, for years did they tell us how much fuel subsidy cost, do they really tell us anything except feed us inflated figures
the senator that announce there renumeration allowance did the senate not suspend him

the lady reporter that asked Umahi question and he replied he does not hear english nkor, was she rude tew

or is it not these same umahi that walked out on reporters after standing them up for hours ... all of them were rude ??

AriseTv is not the only media station and by now everyone knows they dont ass lick politicians like NTA .... accepting to go there means you are in to comply n answer the damn questions, you see how wike organise his media press n dictate the question the atenu journalist he calls will ask him

Umahi is a public servant nd if he feels he is tew big too answer question he should resign open a refinery nd show us he is Boss

grandstar:
The fuel subsidies consumes as much as 2% of GDP. That is extremely high. All the other sources of waste you scream about altogether to not amount to 0.5% of GDP.

Secondly, it was improverishing you. If there was petrol subsidies, the Naira would probably hover around $1-N600. Buhari resorted to the printing of the Naira to subsidise petrol which is not only inflationary, but always leads to a massive depreciation of such a currency. That was one major reason why the Naira dropped from$1-N200 when he assumed office to $1-N1,500.

Subsidy is gone now, +2% back to GDP what have these govt achieved better than previous govt that even paid the subsidy,

Mind you subsidy on health, education, and electricity have being remove yet to what gain

Is it not crazy after removing All subsidy, double Taxation the govt is still borrowing at × 2 over the past govt .. the meaningful project going on is that coastal road and it on loan
what is govt really doing with taxes, high revenue turning every agency into money making entreprise

grandstar:
If you don't support what he said, it is due to your poor grasp of economics and nothing else.

When OBJ tried several times to rid the country of fuel subsidies, the then NLC leader, Oshiomole, did all he could to frustrate him.

However, when he became governor, he now realized why government wanted to end the subsidies. He did not know it cost the federal government and the States lots of money, about 2% of GDP a year. He regretted his past actions.

Many of you are like Oshiomole.

Even after the subsidy is long gone You guyz wont demonizing " fuel subsidy" ... its only in Nigeria govt will paint " subsidy " evil

We have so many things govt is wasting our funds on, like continous splash of money on dead refineries in the last 20yrs we have wasted so much billions on the refinery that One no dey pain govt, politicians dont demonize those refineries maintainance waste

School feeding project since implementation as being nothing buh waste of limited funds

Senate allowance, this are excessive burdens ... they won't demonize it

Subsidy that goes to the people and make cost of living bearable is the Master piece of why Nigeria is not developed
we waste money on hajj, piligrims, and govt entourage dem no see that one ... now that subsidy is gone why is Tpain collecting more loans even than those that paid subsidy ... most painful part no tangible achievement, go n meet ur governors

Afriifa:
People be asking what played out on Arise TV.
Umahi was triggered by Oseni's unprofessional media practice. But as a public servant he ought to have handled it better. Umahi could have simply told him the cost per 1kilometre road, and explained the technicalities behind the overestimated budget.
What does Oseni mean by "reporting me to Mr President?"
Who does he think he is?
Rufai Oseni feels journalism is about having a loud opinion on subject matters that defy his pedigree. There was a day this guy was arguing an economics subject with an established scholar in the name of journalism, even me that was watching felt triggered.
Finally, whether Umahi is right or wrong about his claim of professor in practice, it sha depends on who is judging.
Umahi is a seasoned engineer. where he earned a degree in Civil Engineering in 1987. His early career spanned various engineering roles, including stints with major firms like Saipem and SCC Nigeria Limited. Before his governorship, Umahi held several leadership roles in the private sector, including co-founding Norman Engineering & Construction Nigeria Ltd and leading Brass Engineering & Construction Nigeria Ltd. He is well-known for his tenure as the Governor of Ebonyi State, serving from 2015 to 2023. Managing a small state and delivering. He is the current Minister of Works.
If you are the one, will let someone who has no knowledge no pedigree in your field talk to you in the manner Oseni did in the name of journalism?

If you think the problem was Oseni, what about the female journalist that ask Umahi question and he said he does not understand english, tell me she was rude tew

thats was early days of is ministerial appointment

aysnoopy:
I work with FERMA and the amount being used to repair roads alone is alarming not to talk of constructing Virgin roads

you meant the inflated cost, we all know how contract goes in Nig what wont cost more than 10m someone will call it 100m for govt, they bring the money out n share 90m among themselves

we are not babies enough we know wassup

guobe:
A couple of years ago,roads were constructed with about 10 million naira per kilometer.

The amount presently being used in constructing road per kilometer has so skyrocketed that it is very difficult for anyone that knows to mention it and you won't even hear it from me too even as I am an Engineer.

The inflation currently in the country has cut across so many things and it will be very difficult to construct roads with this present amount as it is just too expensive to say the list.
We are in a dire situation.

I guess you are another professor in this engr field ... that you cant call or pronounce the figures does not negate the fact that it as a " Price"

All we just need is estimated kilometer for the project and cost expended to get an hint of average cost per kilometer

we understand cos of terrain cost per kilometer might varies Buh that doesnt negate " average cost idea"

all these engineering people sef dem dey always think say naa dem no book .. they don't believe we can know 2 × 2 sef

Oga.... Social media plenty... Dating app boku, picture and scrolling video app boku, why should a pretty girls waste her time here when she can gather thousands of simps, admirers and followers that will be hailing her and liking her in other platform. This is thing is common sense, but u just one argue.
If there be fine gal here, u can count them. Real feminine fine gals are narcissistic by nature who want attention. So u can't find them here cos that kind of attention they want don't exist here. Even if they get it from few moniker here, most monikers will bash and attack them because NL is a faceless very critical site where everyone don't care who are you. So u can't find them here .. Oga this thing na common sense.. No stress me with baseless argument. And NL doesn't need to start permitting pictures and scrolling. This is why it's NL. this anonymous model makes NL unique. Unfortunately fine gals won't like it

You are not getting My point, platform yapa no one is disputing that, the reason lola feels she is not wasting her time on instagram would have applied to NL if it were a Bio platform tew .. numbers of platform doesnt matter, e.g i play around on NL you will never see me talk long on my facebook or my X account
i feel its same for most people here IF we check there rappor on Facebook nd NL its like two unidentical twins

one thing you must know is humans tend to bring out their flip sides with " mask on" .. this epistle don dey long i hope you get the hint

FreeSpirited:
There's nothing special about Nairaland gals... Nothing special.
Nairaland is not the best place to get really feminine ladies.
Most Feminine ladies are narcissistic, so they prefer platforms where their beauty, pics and videos will be liked by hoards of dumb men.... But ladies u find on a boring, pictureless forum like this are mostly feminist, tomboys, ugly, and women of low means.... At best, perhaps tired, jaded married women who are bored at home and uses comic comments on NL to ease their boredom

Nah ! dont say that, NL gurlz are the same ones we have as neighbors, church members, we meet on Baddo, tinder and clubs they dont live in pluto

the whole ideal of NL being a faceless forum is one homo problem people have here

if these forum evolves to bio, with faces ... the pattern of conversation will change, let me see how kay will insult a fine gurl

imagine you don type insult you check her profile you see face like uche montana ... you no rush back delete nd comport yourself 🫢

as ishilove wan insult kay, she check profile see desmond eediot face .. she no go borrow character

Sammy101111:
She can add who ever she wants it her choice not yours . sometimes you don't have to respond to all post or comment

she is not your daughter sis or wife you don't even know her ... do you normally contradict your advice

Sammy101111:
I love the block features it will give you quality hide out from all does small secondary school boys using nairaland as abuse center and mature man no go one follow them cap much so you block . There are so many boys on nairaland and not men any more

if you think " abusive" is a secondary school things then it shows you aint conversant with "9ja" ... did you watch Oseni vs Umahi ... are they in secondary school boyz

Natasha case, Oby told a senator to shutup n the francas that ensuited those ones tew are secondary school boiz

i dont know why, all these " real men" " mature men" dont do this dont do that dont work on me 🤣 ... the more you play it on me the more i want to do what i wont even do on a norm .. cos it manipulative

Maturity us your composure even in discomfort, how you tend to handle others mis step

who set all this code sef 🤣 no head wey you take do boy still dey your neck ... dey play

Bro when you real men are busy dragging maturity, if i get humor i'm fine

Lifestone:
And so what did Oseni gained? He wasted such a prime time not allowing his guests to talk and ended up not getting any information for his viewers. It was an opportunity to cleverly unwrap Umahi and get the needed facts. Oseni likes to talk too much and dominates his guests, he most of the time end up having problems with guests who doesn't allow himself to be dominated. That's arrogance

Are you really asking me that question after watching that show, i will bottle feed you

1.Oseni just gain More recognition as a slaying journalist , Rufai he says it like Nigerians would have say it

2. Oseni gained what millions of Nigerians are not privileged to have, hold public servants accountable

if i was Oseni i would be glowing seeing how i made the Minister so uncomfortable even in his office, naa small e remain he for ask for hand fan 🤣

He did allow Umahi talk, was Umahi really talking abi e wan tryin to show he is bigger, i am a professor, cumma learn , you know nothing you are too small ....did that one come on Air to talk abi to fight

Umahi as an history of being confrontational with journalists... you are just naive

Lifestone:
Was Oseni not rude with his arrogant posturing? Being an online personality and asking hard questions does not say Rufai should not to be polite to his guests. Seun Osinbaloye's questions are probably tougher.
Umahi was already a successful Engineer before Rufai finish secondary school, he was a former Governor and much Older than him. You can ask your questions without arrogance and rudeness.
I watch that program and was really piss off at Oseni, I completely agree with how Umahi handled him. Next time, Umahi should send his SA on media to answer Oseni questions.
Being an anchor person does not put the two of them at the same level

if you say "posturing" thats relative to interpretations ... simple and direct question and Umahi struggle to answer becos he came with a beef in his mind 🤣

Umahi people booked for oseni on arise tv, rufai reminded him .. Umahi was struggling not to go mad on that show, the grudge in his mind no let am know say the questions are even simple

the angry one is the loser 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mariangeles:
You're welcome.

Trolling used to be very bad here, until Seun introduced the block option.
I'm sure he did that mainly for the females.
Me, I just go ahead to block them.

If you observe, only the males have been the ones complaining about the introduction of new features here.

Alol ! the introduction of the block option seems like a success to the female gender, buh for the logical ones the block option only kept the women and men apart

the people have not changed, we are still the same What would have been better is growing to accommodate one another ... Buh e don late alfa males we die here
make dem just put me n that pocohantas for UFC ring 2hrs

Mariangeles:
This is a blatant lie!

Women like, and are drawn to kind men.
They feel safe around men who are kind, and stand up for them.

You intentionally did not add "Men that has Money and Money" ..... thats why i am giving you 2 ova 10

Beremx:
Hyping this woman is unnecessary. Tinubu will still remove her and put his fellow Yoruba man.
Why should a president have the right to install a new INEC chairman? It's unconstitutional

if an hausa man announces Tinubu as president in the last election what make you think it takes a yoruba man for Him to win next, is wike yoruba

your last statement very wrong, every president we've had appoints INEC chairman its constitutional But an abberation we are agitating electoral reform amends

Franklyspeakin:
try to read. I never said it wasn't premium times that broke the news. but notice how an Igbo V.C and Registrar didn't sweep this under the carpet. with an Igbo dominated senate of UNN taking a stand also move to twitter and see his critics. still Igbo dominated such that it got to a point Tinubu minions started pushing the narrative that it he gets sacked Igbos should not be offended if he is replaced by a different tribe. but still yet that didn't deter Igbo critics. Ohanaze ndigbo didn't go supporting him nor did the equivalent of MURIC like it's done in other zones

How will they sweep Facts under the carpets, do you know what investigative journalism is ....premium time worked on it for two solid year they have undeniable Facts should the VC try to coverup is like risking the there job n school reputation is it worth it anymore

It would have made sense giving credit to the VC and school without Tribal coloration, tribe no follow here matter wey don cast don cast mama wrapper sef no fit cover am

igbo dominated senate ... b4 nkor naaa hausa wan dominate UNN🤣 naa konji dey worry you

igbo kwe nu

Franklyspeakin:
Good riddance to bad rubbish. The Igbos set a standard with this case by calling for his sack even though he was a minister of Igbo origin. I am proud of them. they don't stand by forgers for tribalism sake

it was premium times that did investigate journalism and expose the man Not IGBO ... or how igbo take enter this matter

ElSudani:
Rufai doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. You don't need to be an engineer to know terrains could be very different from kilometer to kilometer.

He kept on asking cringe worthy questions like a child.
Is he there for real journalism or just for comic relief?

Maybe Rufai was naive in our he structured his questions that can be overlooked cos its not his field Buh someone who claims to be a professor in engr did umahi sensitize him properly or say anything concrete

even if cost varies by terrains of kilometer to kilometer, someone professor should be able to give a rough estimate @least instead Umahi was busy trying to see he could use Rufai to shine

He purposely booked that session with Oseni just to have shoulder to shoulder tussle with rufai, clearly no objectivity just some petty drive

this guyz easily forget they are serving the people, they as though its there father's money how dare you question me,

Beremx:
Tinubu's daughter went to Benin to change the culture of Benin people by installing Iya oloja. Heaven did not fall. Just a misspell of Owanbe to Owambe, my Yoruba landlords of Lagos took it personal because it's an Igbo woman involved.

It is well o!!

Dangote is a capitalist. He hates competition. He wants to crush NLNG price.

On a normal production costing, a kg of gas should be in the range between 200-300 NGN.
It is the same gas that was been released into the air during distillation process of crude oil.

The actual cost per kg will come out during the competition and price war they are all embarking upon.

Oga no woman prays to be two in her husband house, you are not meant to love or be buying flowers for you Rival ... its business its a game of survival

They don't know anything
He knows how to gain citizens sympathy. His team is so good at what they do .

Buy now and prepare for triple price next year. He just needs to already existing guys to work with him,and they will put a fix price..

Bro we are not kids, substantial with reference to How dangote don do us bad pass Govt, Nnpc, Labour and neighbour
I dont understand this rant monopoly, at a time ObJ was going round looking for who will buy our refinery total, shell, chevron all decline
Power sector need revolution now tell your rich parent to go n buy it Before dangote show and you clowns start shouting monopoly again

Cløwns....all this year Nnpc n marketers had monopoly what joy did they bring to the people even for a week

bolaayenimo:
Keep deceiving yourself if you think Dangote loves the masses

Oga carry your bad belle go front, Dangote dont owe anybody love, we dont need love, let him sha be surpressing our oppressors for Us we are cool
