The first 4 comments on this thread are from guys with the same ethnic origin and region, the East.

I expected them to ask questions like ;

How could they have being arrested if they werent at the protest ground and maybe close to the real perpetrators?

The Polish ambassador made it seem like they were arrested in their room


Who goes to a foreign country to get involved in an "aggressive" protest?

Once u realised its becoming non-peaceful, why not run to your hostels or wherever your abode is?

I mean it and I pray we all go our separate ways one day. I'm finding it hard to believe I share same country with these guys. Their reasoning is worrying

Youve spoken very well and reasonably too!

[color=#006600][/color]A highly commendable move. One should be proud of his/her roots! I really lauded this one.

Hmmmmm. Scandalous scandals!

The man is a known PDP sympathiser!

You've spoken very well and reasonably too! Our type of political system gives rooms for all the lapses!

You've jit the nail on the head! Their carelessness by losing that match cost them the league title!

nairalanda1:
In other words, they want Putin to remove tinubu from power, and replace it with a russian aligned government

To be honest, it would be good to get rid of this current government, but it won't get rid of our debt, our resource dependent economy, corruption, strife, and crisis. Nothing would change.

Nigeria is in trobule because at independence, the economic model we chose was sell raw materials to everyone, and share the revenue equitably. Well, since the 1970's, the population growth has outstripped the ability of the revenue to cover for it. We saw the first signs in 1976 when the government could not sustain free primary education for everyone despite having oil money income in record amounts. And there have been other signs too.

We need a government, and I don't care if it is backed by Russia, IRAN, china, USA, or whoever...that would take us from a resource dependent state to a nation that has a wide tax base and uses its resources to make products for the world market. That is how countries like China, and Japan and so on are able to stand on their two feet.

It does not matter how long it takes, ten years, thrity years or a hundred, the only way we can survive is by being able to make our own stuff, or indeed, to paraphrase Stalin, the other countries of the world would pulverise us. And not by means of open warfare.

But we won't do it. We lurch from one bad government to the other, a governments of stomach infrastructure. GEJ supporters boast about Sure P, Buhari and tinubu supporters boast about their own Trader Moni projects and student loans. We boast about how army built a lot of infrastructure, forgetting that those infrastructure have deteriorated because there is not enough money to repair them..because not enough tax. We pretend we are rich, and use loans to cover up our asses. We are running a government that wants to share money, that wants to maintain wasteful subsides, and we have an oppositon that is the same.

And we keep on getting poor. IN 1965, Nigerians were suffering. TOday we are suffering. Yet we do not want to face the root of our suffering...which is our collective failure to develop an industrial socieity that exports. We want cheap money and subsidiszed fuel ona financial base that has been shaky since the 1970's...we used oil to hide the cracks.

Maybe we should just continue...or maybe, our government should stop sharing money, fight corruption, and wake up to its responsibilites, and people should stop wishing for Easy street. There is no free pot of gold anywhere. No free money, and subsidy is not sustainable anymore. Not on a budget of 30 trillion...which is the money needed in one year to make progress in fixing NIgeria's power sector to a point where it can power every house and factory in the country.

Nation building is not easy.

But all we do here is shout agbado and obidient, abuse each other';s tribe., call Igbos evil, call Yorubas evil, call Hausa Aboki, and fulanis murderers. We don't want to solve the problems we have together. We just want to get our side into power so that we can chop money

And if you propose any sane economic thing...either you are obuidiot or agbado.

Anyway, make we dey continue. When we are ready to be serious, call me.

Last post.!

Sound submission!

Olachase:
All this gra gra the north day do no touch anywhere

Mk dem declare say them no won be part of Nigeria again mk everybody go there own, but i bet they can't

You've spoken very well and reasonably too!

Restore petrol subsidy? That would kill the nations economy completely! I can agree with the that of the electricity subsidy but certainly not the fuel subsidy!

Nigeria should plan how to counter this unfortunate development without delay!

When in Rome you behave like the Romans!

MasterJayJay:
Why can't these DISCOs install prepaid meters for government?

I wonder ooo!

[color=#006600][/color]When in Rome do as the Romans do!

Salewa97:
VeryDarkMan should understand that Tinubu is a leader who knows how to handle situations wisely.

A curfew might not be the best solution, but I trust Tinubu to take the right steps for the safety of the people. We need to trust in his judgment and support him as he navigates these challenges.

You've spoken very well and wisely too!

erniok2:
State governors are major part of the problem.

[color=#006600][/color]Yes ooo! They're the major problems mitigating against the nations development. Tinubu is really trying but some of the governors are callous and wicked.

Wise decision!

MossadAgent:
See this one

Calabar was the first capital of Nigeria until WW1 and German Cameroun next door forced Lugard to move the capital to Lagos

Calabar was reduced to a mere province under the Old Eastern Region with Enugu built from scratch using the resources from minority provinces.

It's now you remember Calabar. When Calabar was trapped in your eastern Region it was totally neglected for Enugu project.

Where is that your Enugu today in the scheme of things ?


It's good that you are all now seeing the tribal bigotry and Ibo supremacist ideology and practices of Zik and his minions.

Instead of ensuring Calabar compete with Lagos, Zik was more bothered dragging Lagos and building Enugu .

It's now you see the strategic geo-economic relevance of calabar.

Good morning.

Thanks for your historical submission!

That's a good one!

ecolime:
Dangote refinery must not be allowed to fail. Government should support the business to our own advantage.

NNPC can allocate 300,000 barrels to him solely for refining and sales in the Nigerian Market at a reasonable price. They should sell the crude to him in Naira.

Then he can buy the difference from abroad or IOCs here in dollars, refine and export to other countries and make good money too.

It's a win-win for everyone.

Dangote himself should know he can't get the full 650,000 barrels per day locally. Previous and current administrations have already used most of what we currently produce to take foreign loans with little or nothing to show for it. And we have to fulfil those obligations. That's the sad reality of things.

You've spoken very well! The Federal Government has adopted most of your suggestions today. Let's wait and watch as events unfold.[color=#000099][/color]

[color=#006600][/color]A smart and
laudable move!

Indispensable85:
Obaseki where you dey?

He's busy fighting Shaiubu and Oshiohomole!

Bigkoko:
Dangote is really ready for them. He has his northern brothers waiting for Asiwaju in 2027. Emir Sanusi has fired the first shot yesterday.... Interesting days ahead as they leak each other businesses Secrets!

God shall shame all the enemies of the country.

[color=#006600][/color]This is highly commendable! God shall shame all destructive elements in this country!

[color=#006600][/color]We should cherish our culture all the time.

bouncin04:
Omoh I don wake since 2am I no fit sleep again overthinking wan finish me .

God shall take control. It is well with you.

Hmmmmmmm! Scandalous scandal!

[color=#006600][/color]That's the best way to go!

Dirty business brickbats!

I also learnt about the story, but don't know its veracity.

TimeManager:
A large amount of our crude had already been contracted/sold long ago, long before Dangote refinery was completed. We can't afford to default the contractual aggrements with our foreign clients. Supply of crude would have to be resolved on a negotiation table with lots of concessions involved.

-Kiss the truth!

You have git it on spot!

Hmmmmmmm! Those planning the protest should heed the advice of elders that they should desist from the protest.
