■ So practically it's death for her if she is still living and cannot afford all the above basics. That is just one of the hundred of millions of cases across the country including my very self.
I guess protest would draw the attention of the government to the issue since normal online ranting didn't.
See you all on protest day.

She tell you say she go protest? Many in her shoes will find time and ways to conjure up reasons for why they should remain zombies still... probably until death.

∆ LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTONOMY.
I have been wishing for it for the past 20yrs!
Then ELECTRICITY BILL SIGNED INTO LAW.

I am afraid that like others, you have been fooled by your media and politicians. What you got cannot actually be called a local government autonomy since what existed previously was just that, Local Government autonomy, only that it, like so many other things was not implemented. Yes, your governors overstepped the bounds of the law for over 23 years. Tinubu was once one of those Governors who criminally usurped power over LGs when the Law
was clear that they had no right to such control and access. But rather than demand they be punished for such abuse of the Law, the Zombie people of Nigeria sat back and did nothing for what seemed more like 25 years.

Now as president, what Tinubu has arranged for himself is power over LGs, that further destroys the letter of the Law just as he did as Governor. And here we find again, the Zombie people of Nigeria doing nothing again.

2.. Electricity law that forced an Electricity tariff that the vast majority of Nigerians can't even pay even with the new minimum wage forced on them?

trutharena:
Tinubu is absolutely right, home is where the heart is! Nigerians abroad should remember the warmth and opportunities waiting for them back home.

You mean the Shege many of them instead ran away from?

AntiChristian:
Jesus did broke the law he quoted!

Answer questions 2 and 3 too!

If they born you well follow Jesus and so same now!

#2. The Law of Moses happened to be the National Constitution in the nation of Judah in the land of Canaan. Every Israelite in the land at the time live under the Law that was YHWH until the Kingdom of God came at the end of days -- after the death of Jesus Christ

#3. His disciples were Israelites and existed in the land of Israel and were subjects of the Law like Jesus Christ was.

sIfioksq:
True talk! Home is where the heart is, and Tinubu is reminding us of the importance of our roots. No matter where we go, Nigeria will always be our foundation. Let's rally together and build the Nigeria we all dream of!

No place like home yet your political class have, for the most part, happily made their homes in foreign countries where their families live comfortably with none of the suffering that they inflict on Nigerians?

mrksquare:
What does the law says? That the minimum wage will only apply in a situation where an outfit has not fewer than 20 staffs.

According to your senator, even though still a slavery wage sanctioned by the nation, this deal is across the board.

IfnobeGod20:
∆ They really disappointed me for allowing such madness without raising voice of rejection. Egbetokun is to retire this year and they went through the back door to change the whole police act because of him, as they are already planning for the dirty job they want to use him for.

The man set don show say he dey cut out from the same canvas as i am certain this arrangement is part of a deal.

opamoses1:
■ Read to understand.

Understand that planned protests do turn out successful or that ISWAP and other foreign groups have been contributing to insecurity in Nigeria for many many years now making it unreasonable to try to tie their actions to a protest that is yet to take place.

IfnobeGod20:
And he's building on it very well and even over building on it. You went to change an entire law because of just one person and your ambition. It makes no sense at all. They don't know the implication of this madness they signed into law. After 4 years tenure, the IG will still lobby for his tenure to be renewed for a second term like our politicians.
I am really disappointed in all the oppositions, PDP, LP and APGA in the senate. At least they supposed raise their voice in rejection as to create awareness.

The opposition has never changed. They too looted the coffers and should be brought to answer for it all. Until the people wake up and take back their power from these cockroaches, things will only get worse for Nigeria.

Goodvibes007:
■As we speak now some foreign people are entering Nigeria from the north. They are likely ISWAP and Al Qaeda. You people will seat in the comfort of your home abroad and be encouraging people's kids to go and face Ak47s.

ISWAP and Al Qaeda have been in Nigeria for what seems over 3 years now. Why are you suddenly linking their presence in Nigeria to the protest when the insecurity created by their presence is all the more reason to protest this Government's refusal to tackle insecurity head-on?

Goodvibes007:
Everyone is now worried that the protest has been hijacked.. A protest is supposed to be spontaneous not one that is been planned as if it's NLC that's goi g to conduct it.

There is no truth to that nonsense claim! The Civil Rights movement in the United States was majorly planned protests and walks.

EreluRoz:
No sane person will participate in this type of protest. A government that has not reached two years

Yet you, a supposedly sane person were not able to, when called to do so, name a single one of the policies implemented by the current administration that you are aware has benefited the Nigerian people.

NJV:
Fuel subsidy payments? Which fuel subsidy?? The one that has been removed? Or is there another type of fuel subsidy in Nigeria that we're not aware of?

This time na mega Scam. Almost $500 million dollars stolen from Nigeria every month under this scam.

Published on July 23, 2024

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, has said Nigeria’s fuel subsidy expenditure might cross N700 billion monthly.

The Secretary of IPMAN, Abuja-Suleja, Mohammed Shuaibu disclosed in a statement on Monday.

He was reacting to data released last Wednesday by the Major Energies Marketers Association of Nigeria, noting that the landing cost of petrol as of the preceding day was N1,117/liter.

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, has said Nigeria’s fuel subsidy expenditure might cross N700 billion monthly.

The Secretary of IPMAN, Abuja-Suleja, Mohammed Shuaibu disclosed in a statement on Monday.

He was reacting to data released last Wednesday by the Major Energies Marketers Association of Nigeria, noting that the landing cost of petrol as of the preceding day was N1,117/liter.

Speaking to the MEMAN’s data, Shuaibu contended that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and the Nigerian government may not be telling the truth about the country’s fuel subsidy expenditure.

He warned Nigerians to be prepared for fuel pump price hikes.

“Petrol price is determined by the forces of demand and supply in the international market. When there is a global price increase, we should experience it in Nigeria.

“Therefore the N1,117/litre is not just based on our foreign exchange rate, but also the global PMS cost. The sole importer of this product is NNPC and the company is not telling us the truth.

“But data sourced by our counterparts, the major marketers, showed clearly that the landing cost of petrol is above N1,100/liter. This means that the monthly subsidy has crossed N700bn.

“That also means we should be prepared so that any time the price of petrol jumps, we should not be surprised because they have already told us,” Shuaibu stated.

However, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri on several occasions had insisted that fuel subsidies remain removed in Nigeria.

Further analysis showed that although petrol goes for between N617 per liter and N750 per liter depending on the location, dealers said the ex-depot price of the commodity by NNPC is N585/liter.

This brings the difference between the landing cost of N1,117 and an ex-depot price of N585 to N532.

According to the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, petroleum consumption figures of 44.3 million liters in October 2023, multiplied by the estimated N532 subsidy paid on each liter of petrol, give N23.57 billion as the daily subsidy spending.

The figure of the estimated fuel subsidy thereby amounts to over N700 billion in 30 days.

This comes amid the impasse between Dangote Refinery and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority over substandard petroleum products.

Meanwhile, the Lokpobiri on Monday, presided over a meeting with the heads of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission and Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.

Recall that the former governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, had claimed that the President Bola Tinubu-led Federal government is paying more on fuel subsidies than before.

Similarly, the President of the Trade Union Congress, Festus Osifo had also hinted at the government is applying a quasi-fuel subsidy on petrol.

■ Did the zombie governor with the bias supreme court allow the people's will to prevail? Are u not aware of the supreme court's abracadabra that foisted this calamity of a governor? Are u not aware that ever since he took over Imo state became a theatre of war and grave yard with very high insecurity?
■ The irony of the whole thing is the idiots that will attack Alex Otti who is even delivering democracy dividens to Abia people will not mention this supreme court disaster of a governor because he is in APC.

1. Sadly, the zombies —the unresponsive party in this case — are clearly the people here who, because of a fraud perpetrated against them by courts have refused to fight back; they even refuse to use their votes which were ignored to at least try to get rid of the man.

2. Leave Abia alone and focus on the Zombie IMO people for whom whining has become a pastime.

Macphenson:
■ The people trying to remove him are rhe ones idiots call unkown gun men. The security apparatus has been desperately protecting him. He moves about with bullet proof vest and sleeps in Obinze barracks. His daughter did her traditional wedding in Abuja. Cowards cant make a sitting governor to be this scared but idiots who cant stand the sound of a single bullet will brand them cowards.

What the fk did you just say? Are you telling that a bunch of criminals tried to use violence to remove a supposedly elected official in Nigeria?? What kind of nonsense is this?

To remove a sitting governor, the zombie people need to wake up and demand their mandate be given back to them. That is instead how you go about removing a governor who you do not approve of. You start by petitioning your senators and reps for immediate impeachment; get rid of all those that deny the request of the people. Go from there.

Macphenson:
∆ Because he is being backed up by the evil APC Federal government. The good people of Imo state never voted him but supreme court rigged him in.
Ever since he stole power, Imo state became a killing field and a grave yard.

The supreme Court rigged him in yet like Zombies the people made absolutely no attempts to get rid of him? Either the people are cowards like the rest of Nigerians are or they are satisfied with him and whining is merely a pastime

Macphenson:
I knew this statement was coming from hopless Uzodinma. The most useless south east governor.
Unfortunately the idiot is ruling my state.

Why have the people refused to demand his immediate impeachment even with all the damning evidence that shows he has had a hand in the killings of his own people? Why?

flokii:
Arochukwu in Abia State.. smh

....

Arochukwu Local Government Area, sometimes referred to as Arochuku or Aro Oke-Igbo, is the third largest local government area in Abia State (after Aba and Umuahia) in southeastern Nigeria and homeland of the Igbo subgroup, Aro people.[3]

It is composed of five clans namely Abam, Aro, Ihechiowa, Ututu and Isu. Arochukwu is a principal historic town in Igbo land. It was also one of the cities in the Southern protectorate targeted by the British colonial government. Several historic tourist sites exist in the city. The mystic Ibini Ukpabi shrine, the slave routes and other relics of the slave trade era are frequently visited by tourists. It is also in the food belt of Abia state where most of the staple foods are produced.[3]

Jokerman:
No problems. My sales boy for my frozen food store will now be placed on 70k... However to meet up, I have to increase the cost of my goods, or I sack him and stay in the shop myself whenever I'm free

In sane climes, slavery masked as employment is considered illegal.

OmotolaDiego:
The results of lack of education,lack of skill and oloshoism.....

You think say na only those ones wey you list dey abandon children? Think again!

By the way, compared to a lot of children living through the shege of the current administration, that baby is lucky its life ended from the start.

slimfit1:
So why are they not raiding sambisa forest like this if it's there style of operation. For the past 20 years of Northern state terrorism I've not heard of the military storming terrorist hide out like this. So much explanation. Sadly the Igbo lawmakers won't represent this people properly.

When their governor is right in bed with Tinubu and all too willing to raise the army to attack his people, what do you expect? What I do not understand is why the people think not rising up against their governor will somehow mean they would not be killed.

Broveens42:
Are we stylishly witnessing the 2nd Biafra civil war ? Flash: BRF are now using the ogbunigwe technology on armored tanks Tweeter is on fire

Nonsense! Your very own governor, right there in Imo State, whom you all refuse to rise up against dey attack una, you dey yap say na biafra!

PresidObi:
May God help Nigeria.

Which god? The god of your ancestors wey many of you don abandon tay tay abi na God of Israel who tell una say him only people na the people wey get the blood of Jacob for inside their veins?

SadiqBabaSani:
And this is something to celebrate?

Imagine!

■ You are a fool. Are pastors, Imams and otje religeous leaders politicans? Are they responsible for the governance of the country? Wannable Atheist.

Yes, they are!

RealityKings:
■ The mind is a branch of Human Nature.

The term nature is typically used to refer to that which is beyond human control. If your mind as a human being is beyond your control, you might as well consider yourself an eejit!

na·ture

1. the phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape, and other features and products of the earth, as opposed to humans or human creations.

2. the basic or inherent features of something, especially when seen as characteristic of it.

RealityKings:
■ Do you know the meaning of nature? ... will disagree with anything even though she knows she's totally wrong Don't try to wiggle your way out

Again, Your mind is not nature! Not every mind is susceptible to such things. Yes, there are people out there who lack those desires and urges that you probably struggle with; there are equally those out there who have learned to bring under control their urges and desires that they no longer battle with them as they used to.

RealityKings:
■ Does nature influence sex urges or desires? If it does, then to what end?

No, it isn't nature but your mind. Not every mind is susceptible to such things. Yes, there are people out there who lack those desires and urges that you probably struggle with; there are equally those out there who have learned to bring under control their urges and desires that they no longer battle with them as they used to.

RealityKings:
■ No ma. If you read my post well you will see I noted two factors which are Nature and Society..those two influence humans

Nature does nothing of the sort you claimed. Nature only makes available a possibility for women to choose whether or not to have kids. Nature cannot force a woman to bear a child; it equally does not punish her for not having a child.

erniok:
■ By including yar'adua, you just show cases your ignorance.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Look at this one!

nairavsdollars:
A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Omoba Tunde Ajibulu has cautioned Nigerians against the danger in protests, saying it can be hijacked by undemocratic elements.

Does anyone need to read past this first line to know this is from the Tinubu gang? 🤔
