What will be the US GDP if rent for a family were forced down to USD 300 per annum?

What also will be Elon Musk's net worth?


In a situation whereby rent per annum for a three bed apartment is not more than three hundred dollars a year in the USA, it will mean household income need not exceed three thousand dollars per annum between two adults caring for maybe two or three children. Most households do not make up to ten times their rent per annum and this will not change if rent per annum becomes only three hundred dollars. What will change are the costs of things like Apple gadgets, Tesla automobiles, smart TVs and etc and also the cost of all services.

The per Capita income of the USA will be like three thousand dollars divided between four or five people. If four people, the per Capita income will be seven hundred and fifty dollars per annum

The nominal size of the GDP will drop but the actual GDP as in goods produced may at least double

Elon Musk will be worth around 1.5 to 2 percent of his current worth of 1 3 trillion dollars which will be around or less than 26 billion dollars.

The nominal size of the US GDP would be around six hundred billion dollars or thereabout.

All dollar debts will then be restructured accordingly to like 1.5 percent of their former value.

Rent can actually be forced down in such a manner because in many countries, the cost of rent is not more than that

So when ACN branded opposition candidates as Igbo candidates for the Lagos governor should election be what was that ?

When oba of Lagos attacked igbos ordering them to vote apc what was that ?

The same ACN patronized Igbos with appointments to the extent I and others had to make comments on this forum saying anything given to Igbos in Lagos ought to be given to the Hausa as well. The ACN is now anti Igbo?.

So the random comment of an Oba supporting the ruling party now means the Yoruba are fighting Igbos? Did the comment have any effect on the direction of Igbo votes? The state government is paying the Oba's salary so it shouldn't be a surprise that he campaigned for them and he didn't have any means to stop anyone from voting.
The traditional way for the Oba to compel people to do anything is to threaten them with something that is like the national deity which in Lagos is the lagoon

There is no record of Igbos ever having been attacked in Lagos over politics or for any other reason. Nowhere in Yoruba land has it ever happened too but rather there are reports that two Yoruba were killed by Igbo election riggers in parts of Lagos during the last Presidential elections

mrvitalis:
So Igbo’s attacked first ?

The Yorubas do not have any reason at all to attack Igbos given that who most of them supported won the Presidential elections.

However the reality is that the civil war has been going on since 1967 and is yet to end. I will concede that. The problem is that the civil war is still ongoing

mrvitalis:
So why the attack on igbos ?that are this small

Why will you abuse or attack someone and be surprised that they responded in kind? Why don't you take up the Igbos who started everything because their principal lost an election?

mrvitalis:
Yoruba don’t have to allow we are all Nigerians and have equal rights

Igbo’s bought everything we own in Lagos every single thing we never took anything by force

What exactly have we done wrong

Before you were born, Igbos have been contesting elections in Lagos and Yorubas in Kano, PH, Enugu etc. it isn't anything special. However when you insult Yoruba people they will respond and what you need to support is to make the SW have 45 senators at least so that there can be more positions for all to contest or how many senators do you think Lagos should have if Nigeria were fair?

mrvitalis:
Then go take over Enugu or onitsha or out compete igbos in lagos in areas you feel they dominate

That’s the right thing to do

So why the campaign against Igbo’s people you are bigger than

You can't be a jack of all trades. If Igbos are bigger than Yoruba, Urhobo too are bigger than Igbo and also Igala, Ijaw and etc. They are all bigger than Igbo. That is the big problem Igbos like you have. As if 35 can measure up with 100

DomPerignon:
Tell us what led to the abandoned property saga across the SS .

Most of those properties if not all were acquired via the Eastern region government and not from the natives. The natives then seized the opportunity of the lost war to reclaim the lands as would be expected. If they sold the lands by themselves, they would most probably not take it back from the buyers unless they have other reasons. Human beings anywhere are not much different. Igbos were able to get back their properties in the west and even in Kano etc because they were willing buyer willing seller properties. That is the way I understand it

There is no offense. Just don't talk down on people as if they are not fellow human beings. Contest elections as you want to and when you win you will be sworn in.

Contest and also join the struggle to give the SW three times the representation at the center that the SE has because that is the right and fair thing to do. Lagos has more population than the SE.

You are free to contest anywhere in Nigeria just like the Yoruba and others are free to contest anywhere in Nigeria

mrvitalis:
There is no law stopping Yorubas from buying lands and living in the east
Onitsha business School is owned by a Yoruba businessman

You can’t tell me where to focus
Same reason all banking and oil hqt are in Lagos are they not focusing on Lagos too much ?

No body is stopping you from picking a sector in the east and dominating it’s fair game

But can you ? Do you have the ability to ?

Ability like how? Yoruba are ahead of Igbo in both quality and quantity or how are you measuring ability? Even as data is staring you in the face, you will argue to the contrary

mrvitalis:
By telling you that in one Nigeria you agreed to we are all equal everywhere ?
Or that you can get your land only by division and separation ?

Tell me what I said that’s offensive ? Talk

Yes we are equal everywhere but have you given the Yorubas on your land their due for you to be focussing on Lagos? The focus on Lagos is the issue despite that the SW has 18 senators for 55 million people while the SE has 15 senators for 19 million people already. Why not fight for the SW to have 45 senators first?

Then if Yorubas and Hausas are not fighting over PH, Enugu, Aba, Onitsha, Awka where they have huge numbers and Yoruba are not fighting over Jos where they are always slaughtered, why Igbos in Lagos? Then contest anywhere but there is no need to boast when you even have no electoral weight as a bloc. Win first.

There are markets there in Onitsha where Yoruba dominate and there are other sectors too. So why are they not making these kind of posts?

DomPerignon:
Before the civil war, they were more concentrated in both the north and the adjourning SS.

After the pogroms , their enthusiasm for the not evaporated.

And following the atrocities they committed on the minority people in present SS, they were declared persona non gratia which was cemented with the abandoned property saga

Having nowhere to go , since the SE can not sustain their population and new found appetite, they migrated enmasse to the SW.

The Ghanian govt had the vision to see that their country will be the best destination , so they quickly deported every Nigerian from their country to prevent the swarm that was trickling in.

Since the end of the civil war, they were able to pick themselves mainly due to the accomodating reception they got from their host.

Now they want to take over the land of those who allowed them to settle and thrive in their midst.

Not that they had nowhere to go. They lacked cities which they now have. Lagos has 120 percent of the SE population and sixty percent of Lagos is empty. How much more the whole SE which should be almost or around ten times the size of Lagos?

musicwriter:
Christopher Columbus was a Jew. Google "Christopher Columbus's DNA test shows he was Jewish" or "was Christopher Columbus secretly a Jew?" by CNN.

As I said earlier, wealthy Jews stayed back in Europe. But most of them fled to different parts of the world, especially "the new world" now called America (which is the basis of what Huckabee said.

If you want to understand what happened to the Jews in Europe at that period, read the book: the Jews of Spain and Portugal and the inquisition - by Frederick David Mocatta. Indeed, that's the book I quoted.

You can't use DNA to say a Portuguese or a Spanish is a Jew. Not even for a Pole or an Ukrainian etc. If he was a Jew, it would have been known when he was alive. Just mention one Jew that was in the Americas in the 1500s to fault my claim that Jews were not there when the slave trade started

musicwriter:
If you understood the history and what Huckabee just said, you'll be ashamed of yourself.

And @ all

During the 1400's Jews were being chased out of Europe. But some wealthy Jews were allowed to stay.

It was those wealthy Jews in Europe that sold the idea of the Atlantic slave trade to Europeans.

Their holy book has told them that YOU (a black) was cursed by their god and is therefore a slave for life, and that you must be enslaved.

So, when Europeans thought of them as slaves in Europe and began chasing them out, they (Jews) instead pointed accusing fingers at YOU (blacks) and said that we blacks are the cursed slaves, not them.

That's why Jewish Rabbis funded Christopher Columbus's first voyages (which was not to America but to Africa).

Christopher Columbus, the explorer who "discovered" America was a Jew!

The Atlantic slave trade only took off after Columbus convinced European financiers (Christian kings and queens) that blacks in Africa would be the slaves. It was after that that they funded his voyage to America to acquire lands where YOUR ancestors were enslaved.

That's how America was founded. And that's what Huckabee is taking about when he said that without Jews there'll be no America.

Yes, he's right but you're a fool as a black rejoicing over it because you're rejoicing over your downfall without realising it. This information has been suppressed in history books but those who've read the book: what is Satan? What is Lucifer? The biggest secret in the world, can relate.

Christopher Columbus was not a Jew and the most prominent European nations in the Americas literally had no Jews because they drove out the Jews earlier. The Spanish drove out the Jews along with the Muslims when Andalusia fell while the British also drove out the Jews centuries earlier. There were practically no Jews in Britain, Spain and Portugal when the slave trade started. Particularly Spain and Britain. Jews are only prominent starting from Germany with the bulk of them in Poland. When the slave trade started the Jews were not there at all. West Africans were there before the Jews and they remained there till the end despite that the cargo was African. You can not really find Jews that were in the Americas from the onset. They came later. You will find Yoruba in the Americas that landed there in the fifteenth century. The narrative that the Jews were the main people in the slave trade is obviously wrong. They were not allowed to operate in Spain and they were not allowed to operate in England, so there is no way the narrative can be true. The Jews only started to land in the Americas when the Germans, Poles and etc started to land there and not before. To say Jews controlled the slave trade isn't different much from saying Poles or Germans controlled the slave trade and you would agree such would be a wrong narrative

AntiChristian:
So Adam was created because of the Jews?

Adam and Eve is a Jewish account of creation. All cultures have their own account of creation since it is a normal quest by intellectuals in any settings

There is no point in saying you have weight in a place you can't win one percent of the electoral posts available. Before you can say you have weight, you must be winning a substantial portion of positions available already or don't you think so?. Yorubas will not take Igbos seriously unless they can win five percent of Lagos posts or why should they? Responding to posts online isn't the same as taking people seriously.

Then anybody can make any claim. I can say the Yorubas are more successful than Igbos in Enugu, Abs, Onitsha or PH. Once you are not required to prove what you say you can say anything. Your mouth is your bond servant.

Igbos don't have any dollar billionaire in Lagos
They also don't have anybody worth up to 900 million dollars. If you go to 800 million dollars it is also the same thing but you will say it is the territory where there is no census that Igbos dominate? Nobody is obliged to believe you but you are free to talk. I don't believe Igbos who are worth even 500k are up to the half of the Yoruba who are worth 500k because the population of the Yoruba is much more than double the Igbo population and everybody is working

KobolanderSegun:
You are very uninformed the British found a very primitive area Called Lagos that had people living in huts and tiny buildings. The first One story building in Nigeria was created by CMS Christian Missionary Society in 1842. The Africans had never seen a one storey building In their lives before the British showed up. See this person talking about Ibadan getting the first University..... If the British had never come to Nigeria NIgerians would be walking around barefooted up till tomorrow. Even the Portuguese who came to Lagos as far back as 1600 did not build one story buildings but created the first brick buildings in Lagos

Portuguese trade with Lagos before colonial timesPortuguese trade with Lagos before colonial times Before the imposition of colonial rule, Portuguese trade with Lagos centered on the transatlantic slave trade and was facilitated by the Kingdom of Benin. Portuguese explorers first arrived in 1472, but established a formalized trading port in Lagos during the 1760s, exchanging manufactured European goods for enslaved people and local cloth.

Key Aspects of the TradeInitial Contact and Bypassing: When Portuguese navigators first explored the coast, they bypassed the small fishing settlements (then known as Eko) and went directly to trade with the Kingdom of Ijebu.The Benin Connection: By the 16th century, the Benin Empire established a military camp in the area. Lagos became a tributary of Benin, and the Oba (king) of Benin controlled the region's early diplomatic and commercial engagement with European powers.

The Slave Trade Boom:

By the 1760s, Lagos emerged as a major Atlantic port primarily due to the rise of prominent Portuguese merchants—such as Francisco Felix da Souza—who established extensive networks there. The Portuguese traded items like cowrie shells, tobacco, alcohol, and textiles in exchange for captives.

The Naming of Lagos: The indigenous Awori people originally called the settlement Eko. Because of the swampy terrain and surrounding network of lagoons, the Portuguese named the area Lagos de Curamo, after the coastal maritime hub of Lagos in southern Portugal.

The trade fundamentally transformed the region, allowing local rulers to amass significant wealth and influence before the British bombarded and annexed Lagos in the mid-19th century.

The Portuguese where the ones who gave Lagos it's name.

So storey building is your metric for civilization?;There are storey buildings all over built as at when needed. Among the ruins at Ijebu Eredo a three storey building ruin was identified as the palace. If you go to the old Oyo national park, you will see the ruins of storey buildings. In Hausa land today there are still ancient storey buildings. In Timbuctu they are there. You can't have an urban center without storey buildings. What is the big deal in building a storey building? If you have an urban center, you will have storey buildings there
We build in mud that crumble quickly but we still have buildings existing in Yoruba land today still being lived in that were built over one thousand years ago and that are more sturdy than today's buildings. None of today's buildings can last one thousand years. The palace in Akure is over one thousand years old

So Lagos was not a primitive village. It was a city of merchants, well defended by cannons, with huge markets, well educated leaders who knew the world and had relations with South America and Europe. If not that the British were invited they may not have stormed the city.
Lagos was founded according to my research with IFA by a combination of Benin and Ijesa for the purpose of exporting palm oil and they were granted land by the Awori. The Ijesa gave their two slots of foremen to the Portuguese and because of that two chiefs in Lagos are of Portuguese origin while two are Benin. The descendant of the Ijesa priest who went with them was later made King. When the British took Lagos, the language they transacted in would have been Portuguese. So they were a modern state by all ramifications though small.

I initially did not want to reply or further indulge you but I later did so

mikeapollo:
You are the one confused!
'Jews'' does not mean only those who practice Judaism.
Jesus Christ was a Jew, yet he did not practice Judaism. Descendants of the tribe of Judah (a key tribe in Israel and the most dominant at a time) are generally referred to as Jews

What did Jesus practice? His parents were Jews. All his disciples were Jews. His girlfriend was a Jew. He went to synagogue and observed Jewish holidays and customs. He was a Jew. It is those who worship him that are not Jews. He himself was a Jew. Preaching what the Jews consider heresy does not mean he was not a Jew. Are there no Christian groups today that have their own distinct theology?

saintkel:
Obi won Lagos and rivers convincingly, as for who won overall, I don't know but there r 3 states with high electoral turn out.....; Lagos, Rivers n Kano and Obi won 2....we should all pretend Tinubu won

Winning Lagos with ten thousand votes is marginal and not convincingly nor is it massively. Then Rivers does not have the number of voters of many states, the only thing it can have is more voter turn out and LP lost Rivers convincingly as well. You complain of rigging as if it is that easy to rig elections.

Because of the population of the two zones, you hardly can become President if you performed woefully in both the NW and the SW during a Presidential election

dederocs:
Lies, Islam started with barbarity, ottomans were barbarians.

If you have a holy book that must not be questioned, that is always the end result. If your culture accepts any holy book, that will be the end result

Mohammed himself never knew during his life time that the Turks could become Muslims but they eventually did. Mohammed actually prophesied that a sign of the end times will be that the Muslims will fight the Turks and defeat them

Instead of fighting the Muslims as prophesied by Mohammed, the Turks themselves became the Muslims fighting other people. They became the Barbarians as became Constantine's Rome the first state that adopted religion because if you keep it to yourself as did the Jews, it may not qualify to be called a religion

Tenses:
Christianity was practiced for hundreds of years before the birth of Islam. That singular fact, rubbished all you have just said.

There was a time it was not a state religion. There was a time they had to hide to practice and there was spiritual tranquility as at then. Then it became a state religion, then a branch of it called non trinitarian Syrian Christianity metamorphosed into Islam and we are still in the mess caused by both the foundation and the offshoot today

Tenses:
Are the Jews not 1million miles ahead of the Egyptians as of today.

Was it not a jew of a certain Joseph that helped Egypt prepare for the drought and famine to come?

Does it wonder you that the most civilised societies practice Christianity.

There was a time the highest number of civilized societies practiced Islam.
There was also a time Christians were barbarians who burned people at the stake, over a hundred thousand of them for being witches and they also sentenced scientists to death for making true statements that oppose church doctrine.

Look for another reason for the orderliness in the western world as it is not Christianity. They were barbarians when they were under Christianity. You can't but be a barbarian if your constitution is the Bible

If you try to do something really important that benefits a large number of people, some people will not only oppose it, they will try to kill you

How the SW have been short changed by the current 1999 constitution

Using the SE as a template because it is the smallest zone and using NIN registration data to compare the population size of states and zones, though if you use other data like voter registration and active phone lines etc you will get the same results

It shows that Lagos is more than 120 percent of the SE by population and this means Lagos should be at least six states.

Oyo state also by the same metric should be at least two states

Ogun should be at least two states

Osun and Ondo can remain one state each
Ekiti too can remain one state

The total is thirteen states and since a state like Ebonyi state is just a bonus state then the number of states that the SW should have if the SE has five should actually be more than thirteen

If population were considered, this is the right number of states for the SW to have if the SE which is the smallest zone should have five whole states. The same argument can be made for the NW and it will come up with an even higher number of states than the SW while other zones will be lower than the SW.

If we now use tax paid to determine representation at the center then the SW should take forty percent of whatever is the total number of states in Nigeria which amounts to 14.4 states out of 36

It is on this kind of basis that you can say states in Nigeria are equal and that a President elect should win 25 percent in a certain number of states before he can be declared winner. Any other formula is unacceptable. If you want to alter it then bring the revenue to the center. Speak through your industry.

However states are not supposed to be equal. They don't need to be equal as big states can exist alongside smaller states. The representation at the center must however reflect the variance in both the GDP and the population between states.

Then all non Yorubas living in Yoruba land are cancelled out by Yoruba living in other places all over the country in their millions. If there are seven million non natives in the SW, there will be more than that number of Yorubas scattered all over the country.

The SW has six states for now but should have at least thirteen states if the SE has five if population were considered and 14.4 if the total is 36 if revenue generated were considered.

I did not include the Yoruba in the NC and the SS in my calculations at all.

So that is the extent to which the Yoruba of the SW have been shortchanged in Nigeria as everything in Nigeria is shared according to the number of states

The best way forward that I support is a disintegration of the country but any federal union is best set up in the way I described so that every unit will be actively competing for people to live on their land.

Transportation fee will still be costly. Shey na Naija we dey. Nothing goes up and come down again

Price will always come down when cost of production comes down. It may not be immediately but overtime. Price can even be forced down by just oversupply. All markets behave the same way unless it is a monopoly

Babanah:
We have to be a bit creative about this lingering problem. We don’t need state policing . What we need is a decentralised Nigerian Police. Power should be devolved to the Police Commissioners in the states. The IG cannot run the police from Abuja. Second funding should come from the three tiers of government. So the state police commissioner will prepare his budget based on funding input from the three tiers of government.The federal government may pay salaries, the state governments in charge of building infrastructure and local governments could maintain for the benefit of the local population. Also the state police commissioner will only be appointed after prior consultation with the state government, conversely if the state police commissioner is not up to the job, the state governor can publicly declare that he has lost confidence in the state police commissioner. In that case there are checks and balances.

Let those who want to arm themselves to break away do so! After all what is the big deal? When it is not as if they are feeding you. People on government payroll in this country are not up to three million of the almost 100 million working age people. If they breakaway are they going with your local government? Please security first. Most states have enough population to be a country

Omoawoke:
So since you know a single idea from one person can change more than a country- where’s your single idea?? Don’t you want to change Nigeria?

It is in Nigeria that when you see a foreigner, you worship them based on their nationalities…

There are also people in other countries with low exposure and lQ that act that way of treating foreigners based on what they look like or come from but the irony is that they hate you once they sight you…
But you Nigerians/black Africans love anything foreign and automatically believe they are better, lmao

Even losers and rejects from other countries know they can catch your women easily once they look foreign…

But those people mostly belong to the streets, just like the South African xenophobes… those people you see looting shops and attacking black migrants are never do wells..


You don’t have to even be in the calibre of Victor Osihmen, or Wizkid or Dangote… just at middle class level, have a good education, good career and you will mingle easily with people from other nationalities and they will give you your full respect…

So basic common sense does not tell you it is ideas that bring change and that an idea can come only from one person at a time? And you think you are intelligent?

Your main talking point here is dividing people based on color of the skin and the only departure is recent as a result of what happened in SA. And you talk about people with low IQ? You lump all Africans together. Is that a sign of high IQ? Are all Africans the same? Are they under the same government? They don't even have the same HDI or GDP per Capita. Even all Nigerians are not the same.

You made a sensible comment a while ago the substance of which I can't remember and that was why I followed you but I have now unfollowed you

Omoawoke:
So what have you done to fix your country?

No individual is responsible for “fixing” an entire country of millions or hundreds of millions of people.


And to you theory, that’s a big lie

On the ladder of respect, the kind of person you are and achievements eventually determines how people will respect and treat you even if you come from the most failed country in the world…

Most people are judged by their actions, accomplishments, and values, not by the successes or failures of governments they do not control.

I really believe many of you haven’t interacted with people of other nationalities and have poor exposure so I won’t blame you for this myopic mindset…

What have I done?
Nobody in Nigeria or that is a Nigerian has worked harder than me in the last two decades.
It is surprising you don't know people from working countries are automatically respected even before you get to know them well. I wonder the extent of what else you do not know

One person can not change a country of millions? No individuals that have a sense of responsibility can bring change and they are the only ones who can. Not a crowd.

You are traveled as I gather but you don't have a broad mind. Yet you say I am myopic? If you were not myopic you would have known that a single idea from one person can change not only a country of millions but the whole world.

blackpanda:
And who will fund the State Police States that are owing months in salaries to their workers or the Federal Government?
if its Federal Government, then it means nothing has changed. if its States , from where will they get the funds
In the end the State police will enventually become more unknown gunmen

Is that your headache? It shouldn't be. Let those who are ready to spend money on security do so while others continue to spend money on unnecessary things like Hajj and etc. Nobody is saying all states should have police by force
