Ofunaofu:


This is what I wanted to ask too

Did they include igba-boi in this statistics?

Igba-boi is not childs labour. It's a form of apprenticeship. Most Great Igbo Businessmen started from Igba-boi

Does igbaboi work or not during this apprenticeship?

If he works and is around the age, it’s child labor.

Peakdesign23:
Is it for Garri or cassava? Or for election?🤨
But this is very unnecessary sir!

Stop displaying your folly on public platforms, keep it in your family house.

How’s gathering data for proper planning unnecessary?

Comments like this make you look silly in public.

Do better.

omoredia:
instead of Tinubu and his pathetic minions to work they are channeling energy and resources into lies and propaganda

All these tears are unnecessary.

Enter market and see for yourself. Online lo wa

Felabrity:
This one too uselèss

You go just open mouth waaaaa.

Objectivist04:

None of his successors has probed him despite having a beef with him, it tells a lot even though I am not ok with his style but one undeniable fact is that he came out clean

Tinubu too is same even though he had issues with two of his successors.

rantingpigs:
You are a shameless failure and a colossal disgrace to SW.

That is how another man's wealth is your source of livelihood as a ranting praise singer.

It's 5pm here...


Ozuor.

Cry little thief, cry. 😆😆

rantingpigs:
If wishes were horses beggars would ride.

Praise singers for the Opulent are constantly broke and poor redundant fellows.

I respect wealthy people , because being filty rich entails smarts. But will I foolishly/blindly submit my existence totally to them ?... NEVER.

Even a wealthy man with brains enjoys constructive criticism. Not, yes Master 'failures' who are at the 'beck and call' of criminally inclined individuals.

As regards, the POLICE VEHICLE empowerment you so much cherish. The vehicles should be deployed to your worthless community, while people in your foolish location DIE of ...

Preventable Diseases
Poor water supply infrastructure
Dilapidated schooling infrastructure
Comatose Medical infrastructure


Etc etc etc...

You are a shameless person and you can NEVER be wealthy, because wealthy people are 'LOYAL' but not foolish praise singers.

Gosh..

Go to bed little boy.


Make sure you pee before going to bed, entitled little preek.

rantingpigs:
YORUBA man haba!!!

So buying cars for police is empowerment for poor citizens?

Shame on you. Lowlife Agbado loser.

If you ever make money, do the empowerment you’re looking for.

Abi you’re hurt rich people aren’t giving you handouts.

Shameless leech.

We know your type, e dey find rich man to empower am.

Lazy thief.

No go hustle your own dey chook eyes for another person wealth.

Anumanu.

rantingpigs:
So police vehicles is a part of human development?


You are immensely Daft.

NIGERIANs see the people that are employed by your oppressors to brainwash you foolishly.

Nonsense

You’re a fool se.


Make your money then decide what you want to do with it.


Ill-mannered dimwit.


Mumu dey draw budget on top another person moni dem curse you make you no make your own?.

Poor hater.

rantingpigs:
You are tremendously sick and shallow

If the country was allowed to breathe all these Billionaires won't employ losers like you to sing their praises

What will it take these useless billionaires from building hospitals, schools and other empowerment schemes for their people.?

Are you so dull that you feel empowerment is giving people money without any means to grow it? You are all senseless and shallow minded people.

Dangote gave 80,000 bags of Rice to Lagos state. Is that empowerment?

You are truly slow and redundant.

Nonsense

Lmao. You’re obviously a retard.

Can’t count how many police vehicles I see on the road donated by Dangote, yet fools like you would come online to say nonsense about other people’s wealth.

Why don’t you become a billionaire so you can do what you want them to do.

rantingpigs:
All these Billionaires but None can give Borehole to their communities?
Especially that audio Billionaires from NIGERIA?

A billionaire without projects for the less privileged and incapacitated is a worthless loser


Nonsense

Shut up man.

Did you do any research on their philanthropic efforts before spewing this online?

Moreover, they got where they are through hard work and personal sacrifice; why not face the government who have been elected to provide these?

Stop being entitled to people’s personal wealth.

Gerrard59:


You only need GRE fee, TOEFL fee, WES fee, SEVIS fee, visa application fee and flight ticket. Aside the UK, most countries' universities' offer scholarships, and as you stated, they are competitive. Why shouldn't they be? Everyone loves good things, and good things don't come easy or cheap. Yu must work hard for them. In order to compete, you need to have a competitive profile. I would outline the profile of folks I know one-on-one and from a distance:

- First class in Biotechnology from a private university and MSc from a federal university in the south east who is pursuing his PhD in the US. Source of funding: Graduate Fellowship (very competitive form of sponsorship by US' universities).
- First class in Biotechnology from a federal university who pursues his graduate studies in the US. His first class was even celebrated on the front page sef.
- First class in Chemistry from a federal university, and I think should be done with his PhD in the US. Prior to leaving Nigeria, he taught GRE/GMAT to job seekers in Nigeria.
- First class in Petrochemical engineering from a state university now in Canada pursuing his MSc, and as we discussed would move to the US for his PhD. He was a math teacher prior to leaving Nigeria.

While all are first class (including others too numerous to mention), there are also those with 2.1 who get scholarship to study abroad. I know one who did and would complete his PhD this year. I know another in Germany who we communicated via Nairaland and should be done with his PhD sef. Had a 4.33 in Chemistry from a state university. Myself, I had a 2.1 and got scholarships when I arrived. My parents said either I get scholarships as 25 million would not be spent even though they had/have it. No be only me dem born.

To secure these scholarships, your profile must be competitive, as admission into grad school is very competitive. I thought competition would have reduced as Chinese students shy away from the US, but Indians don cover the gap. First class graduates are more likely to be sponsored because foreign universities judge us mainly based on our grades before other factors compared to how they would assess Americans, Europeans or Chinese. A Chinese grad with 2.1. from Fudan University has little to exhibit compared to a 2.1. from UNIBEN. To compete favourably against that Fudan grad, it is better to possess a first class.

Thank you for taking the time to compose this.

I have a first class in Business Administration from ABU and I intend to do an MBA but I can’t sponsor myself at the moment.

Please advise on where and how to get a scholarship, preferably fully funded.

Hows Ahmadu Bello University not there?

eddyline:
If 550 is what they are proposing to Dangote, then it means that there wont be much difference in price at all.

There will.
Independent marketers get it at 640 from depot owners who get it at 555 from Nnpc.

I believe that if independent marketers get it at 550 from Dangote rather that 640 from depot owners, it’d retail for lower than it presently is.

rinzaugustine:
Lol now you know why they were wailing loudly with microphones in the past few days to drop the dollar in your possession…maybe they thought everybody is brain dead like their supporters who believe in those useless APC propaganda abracadabra that’s full of lies. Borrowing money to strength the dollars is not and will never be an economy policy to any sane mind

Shut up.

Do you know more than the IMF?


The International Monetary Fund recently projected that Nigeria’s foreign reserve would experience a significant reduction, plummeting to $24bn by 2024. The IMF foresaw a challenging period for Nigeria’s financial account through 2024–25, driven by the absence of new Eurobond issuances, substantial repayments of existing funds and Eurobonds totalling $3.5bn, and continued portfolio outflows.

Seefinish:
how many of those countries you mentioned have natural gas in abundance as Nigeria?

Neither do they have 1/8 of the population and land mass.

God1000:
No Israel on the list, the so-called christian country.

According to a report At the end of 2022, Christians made up 1.9% of the Israeli population, numbering approximately 185,000. 75.8% of the Christians in Israel are Arab Christians.
Imagine, in a country of 9.5 million people, only 185,000 are christians.


The worst thing that can happen to any man is to ignorantly support the wrong cause.


Happy Sunday nairalanders

How are Arab Christians different from Christians.

jmoore:

Ever heard of cost push inflation?

You guys don't know that price of petrol that went from 165 to 650 naira and high cost of diesel is the major factor of the inflation.

There’s that and there’s excess money supply.

Watch and see, prices for some commodities have started reducing; more will follow.

jetwonder:

But Prices of good is still high!
Government should look into this.

This is normal in the meantime.
People are still selling the stock they got when dollar rates were high.

With time, market forces would stabilize it.

Have you ever seen any relevant world body investigating or proscribing IPOB as terrorists? Only in Nigeria.

Which other country does IPOB enforce their sit at homes or establish security network?

Dey think before you type.

OboOlora:

Trial and error financial techniques.
Pump $$$ from foreign reserves to save a dying naira so people can applaud you for a week.
Then watch the same $$$ rise in the next month and blame citizens for not buying unavailable local goods.

We’re in an era of confident, ignorant people.

What do you owe me if this your prediction fails?
Put your money where your mouth is.

jmoore:

It means interest rate has increased.
It will scare people from borrowing.
And those who borrow will have to increase their cost price which will increase the selling price, thereby making inflation higher.

Nope.
There’s excess money supply in the economy which is part of what’s causing inflationary pressures. The increase is to mop up money supply.

123yes:
You are right Mr Trump. But what Hamas did to them that 7 of October attack was really disheartening. I pity Palestinian children who are worst affected by this Israeli retaliation attack. Peace to the world!

Y’all act like this thing started on Oct 7.
Israel has been bullying the people of Gaza on their own turf for years.
Numerous videos of them laying siege on them and even going as far as assaulting them in their mosques during worship but the western propaganda machine would have you believe it started on October 7


Most people that support/supported Israel do so on the basis of religion forgetting that not only Muslims live in Gaza.


A lot of supporters of these atrocities have now rescinded their support because social media has exposed Israel’s propaganda for what it is.

I hope you see same too.

Imagine Tinubu talking about arithmetic.

But he turned himself into a jester with his "Na statistics we go chop" jibe.

Yes, because Peter was reeling out pointless and erroneous statistics, including his baseless requirement of 25% in the FCT, that barely had anything to do with Nigerians.
Tinubu spoke the language the people understand and now he’s president, while statistics man is counting is losses.

"Nigerian Government Allocates N47.5Billion For Rehabilitation Of 50 Schools Without Locations Amid Budget Padding Scandal."


https://saharareporters.com/2024/03/18/nigerian-government-allocates-n475billion-rehabilitation-50-schools-without-locations

This is what I expected Ningi to point out rather than calling the review of the budget, padding.

So many line by line discrepancies in the budget.
I just hope someone finds the time to go through it line by line. You’d be shocked.

Feintline:
Tinubu this is 2024 not 1999 where propaganda was used to build to lagos.
Quit all these promoted story telling on foreign and local media .
We know how you did with bbc with your fake certificate saga.

The country is in a deep mess. Red danger lights in every sector.

Shut the hell up.
When Bloomberg and the likes were reporting doom, dunderheads believed them.
Now they’re reporting otherwise, it’s propaganda.


Yall don’t love Nigeria like you proclaim, yall just hurt it’s not your man at the helms of affairs.


That propaganda that he used to make Lagos a success and cynosure of all eyes, he’d use it to make Nigeria a success; to your dismay and that of naysayers.


Asiwaju will succeed, Nigeria will progress.


And there’s nothing dunderheads can do about it!

ruggedtimi:
this chief of staff sounds very very official..how many times have you heard on news that a minister appoints chief of staff.

They could have without putting it in the media. It’s not a biggie so far they all serve the public as they should, diligently.

Depriest2020:
Na Nigerian senators they abuse their office, they have degraded their offices that it no longer commands respect. Imagine ordinary appointed minister disrespecting and talking to an elected senator of the federal Republic of Nigeria, can such a thing happen in the US? Can't she summon Wike to the NASS? And why are her colleagues not protecting her? Nigeria is a mess.

How can you say minister of FCT is ordinary?
Minister of FCT is almost equivalent to a governor.


She can’t summon shit. Her only leverage is using the senate and it appears Wike has more influence than her there.
