what are you selling or which business are you doing cos you can't be a small private school teacher recieving 25k and you expect to see the gain of this government,until you start doing business or providing professional services before you see what we are talking.even a private school teacher publishing books for sale to students can never say such nonsense.

So to enjoy dividend of democracy or good governance, naa my profession and salary go decide ... did you even think b4 you talk

Is there anyone in Nigeria, not complaining or affected we are talking 300% inflation and valueless currency, are you okay

Mention what Tpain as cooked nd serve that Nigerians that have spoon are enjoying

GeneralPula:
So where is the threat from Moria’s response?

I even thought he threatened to kill Pandora fraud just like the way Headless mob threatened to kill Reno’s daughter..

Pandora’s life is already useless ever since Anambra people cursed him. He’s a bad Omen from Devils incarnate..

They should just ignore the demented slowpoke and let him be wallowing in his stupidity..

interprete that for us, hope you can read

TimeManager:
Any serious person would ignore Peter Obi, he's not worth it, a weakling for that matter. During campaign, Reno Omokri made him cry on Arisetv town hall debate, after election, Tinubu made him cry live on TV, and now he's crying again. When they fire back at him after firing the first shot, he goes on crying. Someone should tell Obi that politics does not entertain sissies & ball less men.


-Kiss the truth!

why not stay on issue, differentiate morka last sentences from a "threat"

kiss the truth dont rape the truth

yoruboid:
Was fuel subsidy removal necessary?

Was floating of the Naira necessary?

Both were critical to the survival of the country

Yea it affected Nigerians but at the federal level President Tinubu had tried with his interventions but the state governors deserve 80% of the blame for whatever citizens in their states currently experience

When Tinubu offered to dole out interventions through state governors, what was the public reaction, did Nigerians not caution Tinubu, did Nigerians ever embrace the idea of sharing rice to solve economy hardship ... Did Tinubu ever listen to Nigerians, who deserve the blame the idiot that kept fish with the cat or the cat itself


Would you blame state governors for the failed duties wavier on medicine and commodities ... a program lasted 6 month no single beneficiary, what do you make of that

plumcomm:
Since when then born majority of us here we never hear say them refine curde oil for nigeria,the refineries obasanjo said can never work is working in less than 2years.untill the government start to dey spoonfeed people as they do in Europe and america them no go know say e dey work.
In 2years tinubu has done what all the presidents couldn't do since 1999.
If that refineries alone are what he was able to achieve in 8years,he has surpassed every others,obviously he has more time to do more.

You guyz are shouting refineries are working yet over 70% of our consumption is imported, infact importation of Pms is not declining

Our local refineries are working yet, int'L market price still dictate and influence "Prices" .... what exactly should Nigerian celebrate

In a nutshell, can anyone supporting these useless govt, pinpoint the gain or impact so far

Metronomy:
If this news about Deji commending Tinubu is true, it means the refinery are truly working.

It means the man may have slight good intentions for the country. All fingers crossed. God bless the federal Republic of Nigeria.

Good intentions that are never reflective abi,
Out of good intention, duty waiver on drugs and gain started and ended with no single beneficiary
Now local refineries are on board yet prices of Pms is × 7 of what Nigerians were comfortable with ...

Int'l matket price as dropped but they keep liein its competition that drive down the Pms to 925,
Dangote alone can cater for out total demand plus they claim our refineries are back but still on still the country is still largely dependent on import Pms how does any of these make sense.

We need good intentions that people can feel, or see the impact thats one thing missing in Tinubu administration

helinues:
You have already stepped on life wire with your pettiness and reckless talk

Tinubu knows better, Peter Obi as become a mine field, step on it and get an explosion

cr7lomo:
U are A simp...society don chop u ...

And who are you to xtain me, no your place boy, fvck society

cr7lomo:
Fix which mess?? Did the story just break?? Something that came out years ago... are u guys to dull not to understand what he is trying to do?? Same Burna that denied his own child when a woman came out with evidence that she was carrying his child ... why didn't he take up responsibility, instead he and his mom destroyed the girl ... till she lost that child... now he is forming superman ... did anyone call him out then ?? Besides , did CP ever tell this foolish woman he needs a child.... the poverty woman just took advantage of a rich man to come out of poverty by intentionally getting pregnant for man wey u get one night and with... dint she know she was unsafe for unprotected sex... why did she open her legs ??

if you like let it be 20yrs ago the news broke out, it is not burna responsibility so whatever time he choses to clean another man's mess is "FINE" ... he can decide not to do anything

You heard about it why you no ask the woman for her Aza, if you are more concerned and you did nothing What gives you the morale standi to judge burna


Regardless of Burna motive here ... @least the woman nd her child life wont remain the same again, all these talk you are digging out is way pass relevance.
CP was married when he decided to fvck around, why did CP not stay faithful ?? did CP not know having unprotected sex can cause him disease/infections ..

cr7lomo:
Same burna forming Saint...why did he deny taking up responsibility for that girl that got pregnant for him a few years ago... he humiliated her and called her a prostitute, that lady lost that child ... now he is forming volition, defender of the universe

Sometimes i dont understand how some of you reason, the attack is always on the messenger and not the message


As burna is trying to fix another man mess now if you or someone else had taken the initiative to stand up n fix burna mess then the lady wont have lost the child shame on you for lookin on

Your arguement changes nothing, burna is just doing him

cr7lomo:
This burna na small pikin... pure money miss road ... why u no help dem all these years when the news first broke ... a fool and his money soon part ways

is it his responsibility to take up another Rich man denied responsibility

Why did chief priest not address his mess even after the news broke ... at which ever time burna boy or be it any samaritan respond it is justify

A fool should know where to talk and not criticize

free2ryhme:
While I agree that state governments should take charge of addressing their unique challenges, pretending that systemic national issues can be solved in isolation is wishful thinking. Yes, Governor Zulum's initiatives are commendable, but they don't exist in a vacuum. Many of these state-level interventions, including subsidies and inputs, often benefit from federal allocations, grants, or indirect support. So, to imply that it’s purely a Borno-only effort without national implications is a bit of an oversimplification.

Now, the "all states for themselves" argument sounds good in theory, but let’s not forget that Nigeria is a federation. Resources, including revenues, are centrally managed and distributed unevenly. For instance, regions like the South generate significant revenue for the country but often don’t see proportional reinvestment. When states like Borno receive heavy federal support—whether directly or indirectly—it’s fair to ask why that hasn’t translated into long-term development, especially when others have had to fend for themselves with less.

The argument about holding governors accountable is valid, but here’s the rub: state-level success shouldn’t be used to dismiss or deflect from broader systemic inequalities. Regional challenges may require regional solutions, but they also deserve equitable federal support. The imbalance isn’t about Zulum doing his job well; it’s about ensuring every region gets the tools to do theirs effectively, too.

You are making tew assumption, i dont know how "in isolation" take relevant with the topic

Federal allocation is a benefit each state is entitled to collect, should any governor decide to utilize it wisely full credit should go to the governor. besides state also generate iR and also collect loans, so you cant tell which money the governor is about to use

I dont really get whether you are trying to excuse failures or you are trying to blame FG for state lapses

when you say south generate significant revenue but dont get proportionate reinvestment ... i will ask which region has more investment & infrastructural development than "South"

Your assertion Borno is heavily supported is baseless and false, cos Borno is not even among top ten states to receive high Fac

Your call for systemic equality is not feasible cos states challenges are not equal, and these challenges vary so how do you gauge equality

Federal support is highly dependent on collaboration and support from state govt, these governors can either undermine or amplify

When you look at state like lagos compared to Ogun you will know the imbalance is mainly governors performance

free2ryhme:
Governor Zulum’s responsibility is, of course, primarily to the people of Borno. No one is disputing that. But the question being raised isn’t whether he should or shouldn’t help his people—it’s about the broader systemic pattern. When you see state-specific interventions like this happening predominantly in one region, often with federal support backing them indirectly, it naturally raises eyebrows about the imbalance in how challenges across the country are addressed.

It’s not that anyone begrudges the farmers in Borno much-needed assistance. They’ve endured unimaginable hardship, and Zulum’s efforts to help them are commendable. The issue lies in the perception (and reality) that other regions facing their own challenges—whether it’s herders destroying crops in the Middle Belt, coastal erosion in the Niger Delta, or the economic fallout of industrial neglect in the Southeast—don’t seem to get the same level of targeted intervention.

So, while Zulum’s subsidy isn’t inherently "preferential," it highlights a glaring disparity in how problems are addressed across Nigeria. When people raise concerns, it’s not to attack Zulum or the North—it’s to ask why the same energy isn’t applied to other regions. That’s a fair question, and dismissing it as "myopic" only avoids a conversation Nigeria desperately needs to have.

Your aspersions are unfounded, state intervention for farmers is not beyond what state govt can handle with or without FG, beside nothing suggest FG as a hand in it

Every state in Nigeria has it own peculiar challenges, how each state govt chooses to solve these challenges can not be deemed imbalance on a national scale, infact all state for themselves.

Any state not getting needed intervention should hold there governor to ransom, cos you cant blame another governor for doing his people right.


Your question is on the wrong thread, if the energy or initiative is coming from FG e for make sense, infact i think it best regional problems or challenges are combated regionally. if state governors cant reason like Gov..zulum then its there fault

AgentGoat:
This is highly unnecessary.


Secure the farmers from boko haram and bandits attacks and they ll flourish on their own.

You are Biggy Wrong, security is part of it but cost of operation is majorly the determinant of how a business flourishes


Subsidizing petrol and fertilizers for farmers is one the best measures to promote and boost mechanized farming

Ibehchizzy:
Trust Nigerians
People will misuse this opportunity
Everyone will start claiming to be a farmer

You think in the north, farmers dont know themselves oe have an association, you think just anyone can just jump into the line n claim farmer

Oga in each local govt, farmers know themselves

Proudlyngwa:
This is all shades of wrong

tell us how ?? make it make sense

free2ryhme:
another story of Northern Nigeria receiving preferential subsidies while development in the region somehow remains stagnant. Governor Zulum’s efforts to subsidize petrol and distribute farm inputs to farmers affected by Boko Haram insurgency are commendable in the immediate sense, but they shine a glaring spotlight on the deeper systemic inequalities.

Meanwhile, down south, where people are often left to fend for themselves, subsidies like these are nonexistent or riddled with bureaucratic bottlenecks. Southern farmers and communities dealing with their own challenges rarely see this level of direct intervention. Yet, the North continues to lag in basic development indices despite decades of such targeted support.

It’s the same old pattern: massive resources pumped into the region, but little to show for it in terms of sustainable progress. This cycle keeps the North dependent, while the South hustles its way to growth with minimal federal support. It's frustrating because it feels like the scales are always tipped, yet the outcomes remain lopsided. The question is: when will this imbalance end, and when will the North turn these opportunities into real development?

Since it will be a subsidy from the gov. of borno to the farmers of borno ... how is it preferential treatment

is governor zulum obligated to Nigerians or his state

Curious345:
This is not well though out at all

I am real curious, how

coleon:
You have made an excellent point which is only applicable in theory but not practical. Do you think a bag of rice will ever come down to 30k again , or petrol reduce to 500/litre ever again? That's the main problem here which you and I know the prices will never get reduced again .
Now if we all admit that the prices of basic items will never go back to the way it was, then why will you expect the workers wages to remain the same, take for instance I fuel my car 50k weekly to work now and that's 300k monthly on fuel alone but my salary remains what it was in january.
If my fuelling cost and other things have increased and there's no hope of it reducing again, why will you expect my salary not to increase to match the attendant inflation that has ruined my salary?
Mind you,the government herself pegged the 2025 budget at an exchange rate 1500 to a dollar so don't expect the price of anything to reduce from what it is now cos it can only go up further.

if you are conversant with Nigeria peculiarity, then i am surprise you don't know a push in salary always comes with a corresponding push in cost of living

Let's even make it more relatable, the higher your salary, what do you think happen to your expenses??
it getgetswer, or remains static, or, increases as well, which

fuckJones:
very good, competition is good, after oil and gas, let the government turn it attention in cement production too,

when you read, think ..... Suddenly Nigeria refineries that have refuse to work for decades are coming back, .... naive Nigerians will say it is Tinubu or a miracle But it all because of Dangote.

Dangote refinery is design to feed on Nigeria crude, Nnpc knowing that fact are playing on how to sideline Dangote using valid excuses, our four refineries

If our four refineries are working, it will shorten ration to dangote, then Nnpc can move to sideline Dangote ... all of people will say and so what who cares

We need Dangote in the Mix, dangote is the only force that can keep Nnpc on there toes and on track

Coldrux:
Mumu dey worry una. You guys lack knowledge of Basic economics. A further increase in salaries and wages of govt workers will lead to further inflation which will be highly felt by the non-Govt workers..

Majority of the populace are not govt staff.

That Ajero guy who is diminutive, minute and microscopic is the one pushing for this. He's a very selfish guy. Ayuba wabba is even better

Sometimes when you listen to them speak, even if our present LU is full of dropout dont they consult and ask experts

How can any graduate be proposing incessant minimum wage increase as a messure to catch up with inflation

A serious country's inflation index should not be more than a digit, Nigeria is on 35 trying to catch up with that is like using thunder sound to cover bomb noise ...exactly

what we need are sincere efforts to wind down inflation @top priority, ensure naira stability and value ... Nigerians can enjoy a 20k minimum wage even beta naa currency value be koko

I prefer the days 30k can buy a bag of rice and workers still have enough to go to work than a 150k minimum wage at these time

wunmi590:
Good afternoon Nairalanders,

Despite the hard economy, I decided to make it a challenge to save some small extra change I see from my side hussle from May 2024 - December 2024.

This is what i was aable to save in my piggy 🐷 bank

1. N500 note (N47,000)
2. N1,000 note (N35,000)

Total is N82,000.

I had to make sure I look for the new note because I don't want to hear stories that the old note have been ban from usage...

imagine all that meaningful effort, your savings cant buy 50kg of rice


naija naa waa

Blocking my ear 🙄..

TimiofAbuja:
Same God, different prophecies from different people. I heard someone gave a 94 page.

One president do you hear tinubu media aides say the same thing.

people cant hear and not interprete

EponObi:
I wonder why El Rufai went this low with Reno.

Reno has nothing to lose. Who dey advice El-Rufai? He was close to Tinubu for many years; I'm surprised he didn't learn anything on how to fight this kind of political fight. Since he has decided to come to the market square to dance, Tinubu will only set his lapdogs on him to wear him out and say the most nasty and damning things about him and lookout for weaknesses and softspots in the mallam ahead of 2027. Tinubu via proxies like Reno will throw him soft punches as test run. Lol. And the thing with Reno is that he won't loosen his grip on El-Rufai; ask Pàndora Obi. El-Rufai, meanwhile, has a limit to how he can drag the president in the media.

El-Rufai is heading for a disgraceful defeat in 2027.

How far is el rufai from the ground that he cant go low with Reno or anyone Tinubu send to face.

With the level of demotion Tinubu brought upon Nigerians, there is no amount of dragging that is tew much for Tinubu

Did Tinubu/Apc not drag jonathan beyond limit, a president that has no human face, zero emotional intellligence, pride and never listen to the people ... no insult is tew much for Tpain

dettolgel:
When you have your own daughters you can allow grown men aka pedophiles suck their breasts but other responsible parents are not like tha and will never support that.

; just becos i corrected a misinformation, i am supporting

gurls nd emotion

JovialJune:
It's not my fault you were born with -0 IQ.

you are not old enough to hold that result, let your aunty do it

JovialJune:
Go and suck breasts of 13 year old kids in front of their parents and see if they will not overblow things

Wayray alaso.

okay when your parent are around let me know 👶

JovialJune:
You have got to be kidding me

You expect her to be happy and cover him up despite the fact that he raped a 13 year old girl and not expose him because he cheats and infected her with stds? She should not be concerned that her husband raped a minor regardless of what he did to her?

Seun I thought you promised to rid this forum of depraved minds that will go to any length to support rapists and pedophiles, I thought the crash of last December would have prompted you to do a total cleansing of nuisances that corrupt this place unabated, why is it still happening to this day? This individual supports rapist same as some others here, which is against the rule, why do monikers such as this exists up till this moment?

won tun de o ! where she mention, the idiot did not penetrate the kids naa breast he suck ... its not a must you over blow things

Acidosis:
It is the duty of every citizen to call out illegalities, report crime to the police/EFCC to make investigations swift and faster. Last time I checked, Dangote is first a Nigerian before anything else.

Do i have sensitize you there is a difference between calling out illegalities and calling out name

calling out illegalities is tantamount to whistle blowing, and you allow the security agency do there job.

You can assume someone is a criminal and investigation will prove otherwise, thats defamation, you think a dangote will want to go through that


You can report But calling out criminals name the law no send you message

Acidosis:
It's the same logic. Your claim is that this lady left the marriage because there was nothing for her to benefit (materially). You may be right, but the fact remains that even Dangote, which you mentioned, has endured many things because of what he wanted to get.

Ordinary small corruption in NNPC, [i]he couldn't mention exact names despite his endless press conferences. [/i]We all know how he (Dangote) and other Nigerian billionaires fail to expose corrupt politicians because of the need to protect their empires.

The logic is the same and, so, for coming out to expose corruption in her household, she's better than corrupt Nigerian billionaires who would rather watch Nigerians die in hunger.

Since when did it become dangote perogative to mention or call out names of corrupt individual,
Do you even understand dangote 1st priority is to protect his investment and in business you dont creat enemies instead you find friends
whats the job of efcc

folake4u dey there, even ishilove no go mind ... i dont understand what some men see in minurse
