Here we go again. Rubbish

And all this money wey dem dey waste na loan money, loans that the same poor and their children will continue to pay off for many generations to come.

CodeTemplarr:
If i say many govt workers are idlers and not adding value, some low level zombies will get angry and attack that.
A govt official was squeezing him without specific reason and declaring that such a project cant see the light of the day. Why not they come out and declare that our environment is repulsive to huge power plants? I wonder how Dangote gets his own permits and clearances.

Aren't these similar stories to the one Dangote told of how he got his permits and clearances to build his own refinery? Isn't Dangote still whining today about it all? When una mumu go end abeg!

nedu666:
■The president of World Bank is from India. In all sincerity will he advise India to implement all these bone crushing reforms at once

First of all, the other guy lied to you because in the full video, the man condemned Nigeria's approach to implementation that seemed to be benefit the rich and not the masses.

Second, India has implemented a lot of the same reforms suggested by the World Bank which happens to be many of the same set of reforms that were included in the IMF SAP package that IBB refused to fully implement back during the late 80s/early 90s. Nigeria is yet to implement many of these reforms which if you take your time to examine them are in fact commonsense reforms that could help move things forward for all Nigerians — no longer the looters alone —if successfully implemented. Corruption(and general ignorance of the masses) has been the black hole and stone wall in the way of Nigeria's progress.

nedu666:
India 1.4 billion people. Nigeria 220 million people Yet Nigeria has more poor people than India God why

I believe it has to do with the percentage of the total population and not the literal count of people in poverty. The percentage of Nigerians across the world is over 70%. The number has been rising over the years and the government has not been doing much to curb the rise except sharing bad rice here and there.

Kewtt:
What do you have to say? Poverty capital of the world.... Nigeria has overtaken India.

I said this to someone the other day and he almost made it seem I was to blame for it all. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

■ Is it that You guys are very unintelligent or have low reasoning capacity. Show me the indices that the current economic policies are bringing serious economic reform and I will apologize to You publicly.

Do you know any of the economic policies that your government has in fact implemented — I don't mean talked about oh!

► In July, right before the #EndBadGovernance protest, Tinubu declared the importation of rice into the country with no VAT. The announcement was made and Nigerians even believed that it meant that there would be no taxes charged to those who would now import rice into the country.
► Many Nigerians tried to import rice but had their foodstuff confiscated by the Customs office.
► Almost 3 months after the announcement, the policy has yet to be implemented. But there are Nigerians out there believing it has and applauding the government for it.

A corrupt regime — kakistocrats in power —will almost always fail at the the implementation of policies that majorly benefit the masses and take away the chance to loot from those in power.

■ The argument model you have used about 4 thousand Gods existing and worshipped in the about 4 thousand religion in the world is not original to you. I don't think you understand it and the purpose it's meant for. A lot of atheists and irreligious persons have been using it to question the veracity of the claim put forward by both Christians and Muslims that theirs is the only true God which is responsible for the creation of the entire universe and everything in it. It's never about human deities who are never regarded as supreme creators .
■ But I already said here on this thread that it's a false argument because most of the other religion in the world haven't affirmed different supreme dieties but just one which the say has different names in different languages and numerous paths humans have created to make contact with it. In other words,for these other religion there's only one God and not thousands. I believe you don't want to accept you presented a false argument at the beginning and so brought in human deities to create confusion as a way of insisting you were correct about what you argued . No, you not.
■ You're the one trying to create confusion and confusing yourself,not me. Humans are never regarded as supreme deities to be worshipped .So don't conflate the two all because you want to win an argument. If you know of any such supreme human creator deity or religion where' that is accepted, mention it.
■ I never said it cannot have plural. Please go back and read again. I explained "God" begining with capital letter and "god" in Small letter to highlight the difference between humans deities and invisible supreme dieties.
■ Well ,I think I'm done with you since you're pretending not to know the difference between a supreme diety and humans regarded as lesser deities. Thanks for your time.

1. One, I never said it is original to me. Two, if you are quite aware isn't original to me meaning there is nothing out of place with my use of it, then what in the world are you attempting to argue meaninglessly for?

If I decide it is, for me, about even human deities, who are you to decide whether or not I can use it in that manner or not?

2. I don't give a flying f-k about your private review of religions though as what matters is my review here which is that even those religions that place the self at the center of worship have the self as the supreme — the ultimate. You don't like that, that is your business, not mine!

3. Your confusion here is not mine or shared by me at all!

4. If you never said it cannot be plural then why are you raising an issue with my use of it in that manner? Please cut the bull already and move on if you have nothing meaningful to state here.

5. ***Yawn!***

Check the grid yourself! Still less than 10% of the grid is online even as we speak https://www.niggrid.org/DisCoLoadProfile

This post is very dry. Good news is not good to some people.
Wait till something goes wrong and rhey will troop out to show their real feelings. Yesterday they were all crying on one lower class rail system in Tanzania.

How much is the fare on the train? Are you a regular user yourself? I still read and see more videos of people using public transit and next time none of the people rushing trains, etc. is why I ask.

olarent:
Working perfectly, it's is situated close to my building in itori.

How much is the fare and are you now a regular user of the rail system?

So US represent the whole abroad? Have you checked UK n other EU countries?

■ Your answer is why you are not smart. My first post was about how IMF/World bank are only interested in getting their loan paid back Now you are telling how the reforms made Nigeria pay it's loan back under Obasanjo,
Can you pique your dumbnessss now

LOL... I understand you desperately want to seem smart in your ignorance but it still ain't working!

I didn't say the reforms made Nigeria pay back its loans. Rather, what I said is that Nigeria — formerly struggling under the debts it had to pay off debt— by reducing waste in the system, beginning the selling of government assets— as suggested— was able to obtain money enough to not only pay off its debts but also get in the good graces of the World Bank resulting in the debt cancellation deal Nigeria enjoyed under the Obasanjo regime. If you don't know these things at least do some honest investigation of your own to obtain the facts rather than continue to desperately search for ways to twist the narrative to instead suit the false propaganda you have been fed by the same politicians who are currently corruptly ruling over you and your ilk today.

femi4:
In all thy getting, get informed. Even in abroad, they don't operate 24/7.

► New York operates a 24/7 Subway system.
► Chicago also operates a 24/7 rail system.

Now back to my original question regarding the Lagos state rail system! How much are the fares? And why do they not operate 24/7 service?

ycat:
Where did you read all of that? Anyways, what is he/she going to do? I think he/she should still forgive her, for her own good.

OP does not seem to be struggling with the forgiveness part but the getting over the issues part to me... you religious folks like to place importance on that which really should only matter where people are pursuing religious ideals. OP is simply trying to work out his life really.

olaztek:
■ How else can the op feel better if he doesn't measure his pains against others.
The fastest way to get relief and peace of mind is to be grateful in whatever condition you find yourself because some people are far more in miserable situation than you are.
■ You should visit hospitals, prison, war torn communities, natural disaster regions etc to understand that life is painful and unfair to everybody.
■ What the op needs to work on is his financial status. The rage burning inside him is very strong because he's yet to make it. Once he succeed and start enjoying life, he will find it easy to forget the pain of the past.

That, is a very silly and very sad way to live your life — going around comparing yourself with others.

2. That is a very pathetic way to live and see yourself.

3. Did OP tell you that it is his financial status that is the problem? He has no peace and is filled with anger... it has mentally messed him up... and all you have to say is that he needs to work on his financial status. You never see rich people wey still go kill person or kill themselves abi wetin? Wetin dey do una, abeg?

■ Except no country in the world has succeeded with the stupid recipe

Stop fleeting arrogantly in ignorance abeg!

Did you know that for a brief period — 2003 - 2007— Nigeria was on the path to succeeding with this recipe? Yes, Obasanjo finally began working hard on the implementation of a lot of these reforms and Nigeria began reaping dividends even then. Nigeria was able to pay off its debt while the rest was wiped off. The country began the privatization of public sector companies and saved up so much money — $50 Billion in its Excess Crude Accounts — too. Sadly, that all ended when Yar Adua came into office and reversed many of the reforms that had been in place. If Nigeria had continued with those reforms through the Yar Adua and even Jonathan regimes, the APC would not have easily come in to destroy all of it and take Nigerians back to square one again.

Yes, if Obasanjo had also installed the Safety Net plan and removed fuel subsidy at that time too, or even during Yar adua's time, Nigerians would have probably saved over $100 billion in subsidy money. Sadly the success was cut short by the greedy politicians. Now that I think about it. Maybe Nigerians missed a good opportunity when they refused to allow Obasanjo to continue for a third term in office. Maybe that was needed at the time but we were too blinded by propaganda and permission to see it. Compared to the nutjobs that came after him, Obasanjo was a saint.

Ogbeni face your government and stop blaming world bank.
Here 👇 is Nigeria's credit rating

Thank you very very much!

richmond500:
This is the same step that Norway took in 2014 and today they are a leading economy.
The man from world bank yesterday spoke on it. It's about 150mb to watch the full video

That is a bloody lie! Norway never implemented policies in such a way as to protect only the rich and their corruption.

Bebigiby1:
■ I asked you for a fact based reply and not your opinion...The truth is that based on current situation, Nigeria can not pay back these loans, you know this. Your contradictory reponse here "....its credit rating qualifies it for loans, so what reason would the World Bank have not to give Nigeria the loans it has so long as Nigeria implements reforms that guarantee the loan would be paid back?" Leads me to another question, what is Nigeria's World Bank credit ratings? If the bank is transparent then I do believe the Nigerian government's bad policies, wastages, looting and corruption over time should influence such credit ratings that the bank will consider....
■ Again you did not make your point with fact on your second answer regarding the obligations of World Bank as regards the role they play to monitor the impact of their loans. I do believe you can do better in providing facts in your next reply to my post....
■ I will maintain that the fuel subsidy removal was done prematurely and the naira devaluation (Free Floating) will destroy the economy and plung this country into chaos if no genuine effort is made to reverse it..... Nigeria's import dependent econony can not survive a free floated currency... It is callous for World bank to continue to encourage the implementation of these policies even after seeing adverse effects it is having on Nigeria's economy....

1. I am not entirely sure what you say is contradictory or what it is you are arguing. The bank bases its granting of loans on the credit ratings of countries and not all of that jargon you are coming up with there. And if you check the S/P Global ratings of Nigeria, you will find that Nigeria still is OK.
Nigeria Ratings Affirmed At 'B-/B'; Outlook Remains Stable

2. The IBRD Articles of Agreement is the agreement on which the World Bank was established. Look through and find for us what part of the agreement has you insisting that the World Bank has to act as a corruption monitor and nanny to the Nigerian people as well.

3. As we speak, subsidies are still being paid, and Nigeria now pays more than double what it paid under Buhari. So, if Subsidy was in fact done as you claim, how come Nigeria has continued to pay subsidy in all 18 months of this current administration?

Even Ikeja has only 70MW as we speak. It is like a drop in that ocean. https://www.niggrid.org/DisCoLoadProfile

FriendsAndFans:
Are you sure. We haven't been restored

Check the Grid for yourself at the following line https://www.niggrid.org/DisCoLoadProfile

It is still at less then 300 MW for a country of over 10 million households. Claiming it is restored is essentially insulting the intelligence of all Nigerians.

richmond500:
Oga bring proof that we operate multiple fx window. No be too much talk, try to back ur claim with proof

I can't find the report right now because I can't remember the particular date or the content of the title of the report. But why don't you instead post proof that CBN does not operate multiple fx Windows still?

richmond500:
can u bring proof that our fx window hasn't been reformed. Give me proof that elites buy dollar way lower. U have to back ur claim with proof

So long as the CBN operates multiple windows— one for the people and another for the rich—, it has not fully implemented reforms. That much is simple, is it not? Additionally, so long as the removal of forex restrictions is still AUDIO announcements, CBN has yet to implement reforms. Also the lack of transparency as well as the implementation to allow Nigerians to monitor and remain informed on the process itself, nothing has been implemented.
