■ Clearly you're just looking for an argument! To qualify for medicaid, it is not just about how much you make but the frequency of your pay and the hours you work. If your $1000 a month is not regular then that can get you qualified as opposed to someone making the same amount but is regular and fulltime. This is simple enough and not worth arguing! I spent years auditing the state of georgia so i have some knowledge about the process.
■ Next, the average American does not have two roommates
■ and spending $100 a month on food/groceries is a flat out lie unless you have other things compensating like family, donors etc. What the hell do you mean by getting it from the pantry? You dey whine me ni?
■ This is why I said your situation is not representing the average American, please when arguing or trying to make a point be mindful not to use your own extreme experience to claim a norm, try to view things from the general populace perspective!

Lekan239:
yes some1 earning minimum wages who does not have any other responsibilities, or some1 who is still leaving with his parents can actually save up all his money and get a car.. and also continue saving up to maintain the car.

Lekan239:
good, but is the minimum wage meant to buy fuel alone,.. calculate other expenses too.... well some1 earning minimum wage any place in the word is not even expected too own a car

■ Una funny for this app, what year was this and you already disqualified yourself from the discussion as you're not a full time minimum wage worker.
■ Even with your income I don't know how you qualified for Medicaid for years but things have changed now, annual recertification is now a thing especially here in Georgia.
■ Food $100 a month, na Ramen Noodles you dey chop?
■ Please when analyzing issues like this let's think of the average person not just you......The average American spends at least $250 on food and groceries every month nowadays, the avergae American with a fiull time job spends at least $200 on health insurance.....If you figured out a way to crack the system good for you but that's not the norm!

■ Both Saudi and the USA have their own refineries o, not one not two but many yet we want to compare to them. Also do you know how much those governments subsidize petrol for their citizens?
Finally, what business does a minimum wage earner have with buying fuel? The lowest earners in the USA are either getting on a bus/train or taking a loan to afford a car. The minimum wage earner in the USA go still pay 25% tax from that $1200, him go still pay minimum $500 as rent, him go pay cell phone, health insurance and other utility bills. Oh let's forget e go cost brother man or sister, at least $200 to eat for the month, wetin remain?
If such a person has more than $100 to spend on petrol per month just know say na JUJU

In a groundbreaking move aimed at transforming the relationship between citizens and their government, a group of concerned individuals has officially launched the initiative Mobikita; I CARE, seeking to bridge the longstanding communication gap that has hindered effective governance in Nigeria. The name “Mobikita,” meaning “I care” in Yoruba, embodies the initiative's mission to make government policies and programs understandable and accessible, particularly for those at the grassroots level.

Show the maths... Your maths calculations made so many unrealistic assumptions which I pointed out

chidiokay:
■ 1 barrrel = 159 litres
1 barrel sold $72
$1 = #1600
1 barrel × 1600 ÷ 159 ltr
which of these is an unrealistic assumption

What’s in one barrel of oil?
Today’s infographic comes from JWN Energy, an oil and gas news site. Using Chevron as a source, it shows 17 different things that can be made from each barrel of oil.

Here is everything that can be made from just one barrel of oil:
► Enough gasoline to drive a medium-sized car over 450km (280 miles).
► Enough distillate fuel to drive a large truck for almost 65km (40 miles). If jet fuel fraction is included, that same truck can run nearly 80km (50 miles).
► Nearly 70 kWh of electricity at a power plant generated by residual fuel.
► About 1.8 kg (4 lbs) of charcoal briquettes.
► Enough propane to fill 12 small (14.1 ounce) cylinders for home, camping or workshop use.
► Asphalt to make about 3.8 L (one gallon) of tar for patching roofs or streets.
► Lubricants to make about a 0.95 L (one quart) of motor oil.
► Wax for 170 birthday candles or 27 wax crayons.
But that’s not all. After producing all of the above products, there are also enough petrochemicals leftover to be used as a base for one of the following:
► 39 polyester shirts
► 750 pocket combs
► 540 toothbrushes
► 65 plastic dustpans
► 23 hula hoops
► 65 plastic drinking cups
► 195 one-cup measuring cups
► 11 plastic telephone housings
► 135 four-inch rubber balls
Oil is not a one-trick pony, and the gooey black liquid actually has thousands of applications. The above serves as one example of how a barrel could be used, but here’s a list of many other oil applications. It includes everything from guitar strings to antihistamines.
Whatever your opinion is of fossil fuels, it’s still pretty astonishing what can be produced out of each barrel of oil.

While rushing to compare let's not forget that Saudi is subsidizing fuel for it to be 2:33.

■ Seems you are a dunce. 4000 riyal in saudi is more than enough to survive if you adopt the same living pattern in Nigeria. On feeding, a typical Nigeria family of 5 living in Saudi can not spend 500 SAR even if they are glutton, and accommodation is in the range of 700-1200 SAR for a flat. Most Nigerians earn between 6000 and 15000 SAR except student on scholarship who gets subsidized meal from government and most times a stipend less than 1000SAR at all level.
■ Nigeria run by Tinubu and his fellow thieves like Dangote is enslaved. Such assertion from African richest man tells us he is not a superman, but a thief corroborate by fellow thieves. Nigeria should go back to a state of anarchy, where we can choose our leaders ourselves, and not by sham election they organised and later generates some random values in their own favor. Next election, voters should approach coalition centres with petrol, any state Tinubu won via rigging, the returning officers and his cohort should be burn to ashes.

phemray:
So it means Asiwaju decision is right, correct and irreversible. We should learn and adjust to leave with it. They should make jobs available. Ok next?

ednut1:
petrol comes from crude oil. Which is an internationally priced product. Na you no get IQ. Or where do you expect NNPC to get crude for 10 kobo. Your backyard abi. U too mumu sha

pharmade:
■ Pls convert the tax and other cost involved plus cost per litre to dollars, then get the equivalent in naira, then you can relate to dangote's data. Aramco is same as subsidises nnpc, but that doesn't work at pump prices.

ednut1:
crude oil is international priced. Produced by oil companies like shell and co who give NNPC their own share of the production.

ednut1:
its an internationally priced product. Do you consider minimum wage for price of things like mobile phone or cars Iphone 16 price in usa is the monthly salary of a cleaner. Same iphone is 3-4m in Nigeria. 🥴

NinjaMetahuman:
the minimum wage of Saudi is not enough for them to survive, same way it's not enough to survive in Nigeria. Minimum is not living wage. Learn the difference.

Islie:
■ FACT CHECK: Is petrol 40% cheaper in Nigeria than in Saudi Arabia as claimed by Dangote?

Shadomaan7:
■ The price of petrol in Nigeria is now lower than in Saudi Arabia. That one na confirmed news

Ihengwu:
Why did the VDM through the poor man/woman under the bus by revealing their personal conversation. Bobrisky was probably just bragging.

A civil servant working in the office of the Head of Civil Service, who is not authorized to speak, also confirmed that he has received a new minimum wage payment for September 2024.
“I got an alert around 2 pm on Thursday. I am hoping the arrears will come too”, he told DAILY POST.
Some of the federal workers confirmed that they received an additional N40,000 to their previous salary, as consequential adjustment.
The implication meant that over 1.2 million workers under the federal government’s payment have begun to receive payment of the new minimum wage.
On Tuesday Chairman of the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, Ekpo Nta, confirmed that the government has approved the upward review of the consolidated public service salary structure, CONPSS in line with the Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act, 2024.

The Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, and the Creative Economy has launched a groundbreaking initiative to refurbish and revitalize six national museums across the country.
In a statement issued by the Special Assistant Media and Publicity, Nneke Ikem Anibeze said the Museum includes the National Museums in Ilorin, Birnin Kebbi, Uyo, Owerri, Gidan Makama Museum in Kano and Zazzau Emirate Museum in Kaduna State.
The statement reads, "the project, done in collaboration with the National Commission for Museums and Monuments, aims to preserve Nigeria's rich cultural heritage and make its historical treasures more accessible to the public.
"The refurbishment program, set to begin in October 2024, will focus on infrastructure upgrades, enhanced security systems, and improved exhibit spaces. By incorporating modern technologies and sustainable practices, the initiative seeks to create interactive and educational environments that celebrate Nigeria's diverse cultural legacy".
The Minister, Barrister Hannatu Musa Musaw said in New York on Thursday, that the significant project underscores the Ministry's commitment to preserving Nigeria's rich cultural heritage and enhancing public access to the nation's historical treasures.
“Our museums are custodians of Nigeria's culture and history. This refurbishment project will not only preserve our heritage for future generations but also promote cultural tourism and education in Nigeria. We are committed to making our museums more accessible, engaging, and reflective of our rich artistic tradition in line with His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and our Ministry’s 8-Point Plan”.

zebszebs:
I remember vividly an official at the Kirikiri prison saying that Bobbyrisky was inspected and found to still have his male member so he was assigned to the male prison.
Also, it is said that Bobbyrisky spent 3 weeks in the prison. So if he could spend 3 weeks there, why couldnt he spend the remainder of the 6 months sentence there?
These people just like to use spurious English to deceive the unlettered and justify corruption.

As shared by Titilope Gbadamosi, Special Assistant to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu 🇳🇬 on Youth Initiatives.
https://x.com/titilopegb/status/1839657899607351612?t=bMsYglDa7M0ODFmnrsnKXA&s=19[/quote]Nonsense! Isn't this the very same Government that recently violate the right of Nigerians to a free, fair, transparent election in Edo, Kwara, Imo, and Sokoto State, a human Right by the way?

The people are better off taking their grievances to Berekete, VDM, or SaharaReporters directly abeg! No need to have your name and number added to this one's quota fulfillment count. I bet collecting these reports is how This Titilope intends to get paid— may not even matter whether the people's issues are resolved or not.
