Kukutente23: Shouldn't be a problem for her to afford
She earns dollars not naira
Stop deceiving yourself. People are suffering in America even with their dollars. Watch the videos of people crying that they can't afford food or bills or gas because of Trump's terrible, mad policies.
MrSly: Nigeria is now the haven of the world and American are now begging us for grants and aids. Americans queue at nigerian embassy spending tens of thousands of dollar to come and be cleaners in Nigeria. Boko Haram has been killing Americans. Imagine!!!!!! Olodo uprising is indeed here.
MANY TRUMP VOTERS ARE STARVING AS WE SPEAK, AND CAN'T AFFORD GROCERIES!!
THEY WILL GLADLY JUMP ON A PLANE TO NIGERIA TO GET SOME FOOD TO EAT!
VeeVeeMyLuv: His staunch defenders here on this forum said the naira devaluation will ignite an industrialization/manufacturing fervor among Nigerians thereby spurring the economy and leading to Nigeria becoming net exporter of various goods and services.
Nigerian Manufacturing Job Additions Jump 133% to 81,174
Nigeria’s manufacturing sector added 81,174 jobs in 2025, more than double the 34,769 jobs created in 2024, marking a 133.47 percent year-on-year increase despite a sharp slowdown in the second half.
The surge in employment was driven by a recovery in factory activity in the first half, supported by a more stable exchange rate for imported inputs, improved business confidence, and a rise in manufactured exports, according to data presented by Segun Ajayi-Kadir, director-general of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, at the association’s 54th Annual General Meeting in Lagos.
Bittersweetnig: shut up and get out, Trump won't compromise dealing with terrorism no matter how you cry
See this one. Better tell your Trump and Netanyahu that the Arabs will never allow their pink white European faces to take over the Middle East, if you like, call them ''terrorists'' for resisting their evil. And if they push it, Russia and China, BOTH Iran's allies, will finally put an end to that Epstein class you worship.
Classictunez: You ended up saying rubbish. To score 74 goals for both club and country in a single year na beans. Kane deserved his win. He also won the Bundesliga and dfb pokal too. Was also the top scorer in the whole of Europe hence his European golden shoe. He was champions League top scorer last season too. Yamal won the world cup but he wasn't spectacular. Mbappe scored goals too but never won a single trophy last season. So how does Yamal or Mbappe deserve it? Kane was the worthy recipient. Period.
Dogalmighty17: Training on antiquated systems at a time when the Russian/Ukraine, Iran/US wars have shown that drones are the future, is a monumentally stupid thing to be doing. There is nothing this aircraft will be doing that existing platforms in the Nigerian Airforce don't already do. What the war on terrorism in Nigeria needs is cheap loitering systems, rapidly deployable, lethal on engagement and in vast numbers. FPV drones carrying explosives do that very well.
There is a reason why Russia can't advance in Ukraine and the US operates a thousand kilometres away from Iran. The Nigerian Airforce has refused to be dynamic and adaptive in its solutions when it proffers them.
What a monumentally stupid and childish way to reason.
You don't SUDDENLY cease ALL training on all fighter jets simply because ''Russian/Ukraine, Iran/US wars have shown that drones are the future..''.
Heck, the training would have been included as part of the deal in negotiations that took place long BEFORE the US/Iran War started!
Antiquated?

Kobojunkie: During the thousands of years when your ancestors and likely mine too had fellow Africans as slaves, before we then sold those or them who survived their brutality and deathlist off to the white man? 🤨🤨
Are you referring to the same Jim Crow period during which black Americans were known to have been the most successful they had ever been despite being under segregation? 🤔🤔
2. But your ancestor and mine were 'massas' who sold their fellow African off to other Africans, Islamists or later on the White man. And none of the slaves they sold were bought on layaway. 🤔🤔
3. I can imagine!🤔
OH SHUT UP.
SLAVERY IS NOT UNIQUE TO ANY RACE.
THE VERY WORD COMES FROM 'SLAV'. EASTERN EUROPEANS..
THE VIKINGS CAPTURED THEIR FELLOW WHITES FOR CENTURIES AND SOLD THEM OFF TO THE BLACK AFRICAN MOORS WHO RULED EUROPE FOR 800 YEARS UP TILL THE EARLY 16TH CENTURY.
THE CHINESE WERE ALSO LAYER ENSLAVED, SHIPPED TO THE AMERICAS, AND WERE KNOWN AS 'COOLIES'.
SO TAKE YOUR NONSENSE ANTI-AFRICAN PROPAGANDA AND FACE THE DOOR.
EUROPEANS WEAR BLACK FACE TO CELEBRATE THEIR ANCIENT MASTERS, THE MOORS
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday faulted former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s assessment of President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms, describing his position as an oversimplification of Nigeria’s economic realities.
The party, through its spokesman, Seye Oladejo, in an interview with Saturday Independent , argued that the country’s economic challenges predated the Tinubu administration, insisting that successive governments contributed to the structural weaknesses currently confronting the nation.
Oladejo was reacting to Obasanjo’s remarks at the Financial Times Africa Summit in London that Tinubu’s reforms had made Nigeria the poverty capital of the world and left Nigerians 300 per cent poorer.
The Lagos APC spokesman said it was misleading to attribute Nigeria’s long-standing economic problems solely to an administration that had chosen to address deep-rooted structural distortions.
“With due respect to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, I consider that assertion an oversimplification of Nigeria’s economic realities and an attempt to attribute long-standing structural challenges to an administration that has chosen to confront them,” he said.
According to Oladejo, Nigeria’s economic difficulties did not begin with Tinubu’s administration but had accumulated over several years under successive governments.
He identified unsustainable fuel subsidies, distortions in the foreign exchange market, mounting fiscal pressures and excessive dependence on oil revenue as some of the factors that contributed to the country’s present economic situation.
The APC spokesman maintained that Tinubu took difficult decisions to address these distortions rather than continue policies he described as economically unsustainable.
He, however, acknowledged that the consequences of the reforms had imposed significant pressure on households, stressing that the hardship experienced by Nigerians should not be trivialised.
“However, there is a difference between acknowledging economic hardship and declaring economic reform a failure,” Oladejo said.
He argued that an assessment of the reforms should go beyond the immediate economic difficulties to examine whether the policies were correcting structural weaknesses, stimulating investment, strengthening government finances and laying the foundation for sustainable economic growth.
On Obasanjo’s description of Nigeria as the poverty capital of the world, Oladejo said such characterisations should not replace evidence-based assessments of the country’s economic performance.
“The phrase ‘poverty capital of the world’ is a political description, not a substitute for rigorous economic analysis,” he said.
He called for greater scrutiny of credible poverty statistics, real household incomes, purchasing power, employment and access to basic necessities in determining the impact of government policies on Nigerians.
Oladejo further maintained that Tinubu’s administration should ultimately be judged by whether its policies translate into a more productive economy and improved living standards for citizens.
“The APC remains confident in the direction of reform, but we also recognise that the ultimate justification for any economic policy is its positive impact on the lives of the people,” he added.
Nigeria has faced significant cost-of-living pressures amid the removal of petrol subsidies and changes to the foreign exchange regime under Tinubu’s administration. These measures have been defended by the government as necessary steps towards addressing fiscal imbalances and improving economic efficiency, even as households and businesses contend with higher costs.
The debate over the reforms has continued to generate contrasting views among political leaders, economists and other stakeholders, particularly over whether the long-term benefits will outweigh the immediate hardships experienced by Nigerians.
Kobojunkie: Well, individuals have a right to hate whomever they choose for whatever reason they can conjure up. So, such things do not bother or phase me, neither does it impact how i choose to source my self-esteem or "self-respect" or dignity. 🫤🫤
You're the type that MAGA racists will spit at, and you'll smile and say ''I know you were just sneezing and saliva came out of your mouth by mistake....Can I shine your shoes?''..
Kobojunkie: The fact that you see yourself as a black face speaks volumes of the particular mentality that powers your psyche! And no one else is to blame for that. 🤔🤔
OF COURSE I'M A BLACK FACE.
BLACK LIKE THE PHARAOHS.
BLACK AND PROUD, WITH DIGNITY AND SELF-RESPECT.....unlike you...🤣
Kobojunkie: I have learned to wait to hear the other side of the story in situations such as these. Way too many people playing the race card particularly when unnecessary. 🤨🤨 As I feared. 🤔🤔
Cheii....see her making excuses for the racists who can't stand her black face....
The only COMFORTING THING about this is that the 60 million Black American population know EXACTLY who MAGA AND TRUMP REPRESENT - white supremacist racists, which is why less than 6% of Black Americans support Trump and his RACIST mob of evil demons...called MAGA and their Republican party.
BigkokoRep: It appears you are the only one on earth who doesn't know Tinubu is alleged to be a drug bagman. All his appointees know including the senior media aide, the Mexican Nombador, Reno and the diaspora winch. Everyone knows except you. Wake up
Does this make sense to you? Or you just as expected?
ALL THIS IS UTTER RUBBISH AND SOCIAL MEDIA GARBAGE UNKNOWN TO THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA.

YOU THINK I'M A SMALL KID THAT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING IN THE WORLD, THAT YOU CAN DECEIVE WITH NONSENSE?
I'M A RESEARCHER, AND I FACT-CHECK IN REAL-TIME.
WHAT THEY DO COVER IS THE THOUSANDS OF YOUR PEOPLE LANGUISHING IN JAIL WORLDWIDE FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING, WHILE YOUR HYPOCRITICAL LIPS KEEP SILENT.
BigkokoRep: Your president is an alleged cr!minal with links to drug cartels. Tinubu is currently at the mercy of a mid level career judge in a US District court and a DC lobbying Firm because of his proven links to drug trafficking!
When Nigerians allowed a drug dealer with links to cr!minal cartels in Paris -London- Brussels Axis to steal 2023 election, what do you expect? Flowers from other countries? Not to worry, 2027 election is around the corner. Vote the drug dealer out
SHUT UP. NOBODY ON EARTH KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR NONSENSICAL '''DRUG'' TALES ABOUT TINUBU.
THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA DOES NOT COVER THAT BOGUS, FAKE STORY THAT IS LIMITED TO NAIRALAND AND OBIDIENT ACCOUNTS ON X.
