May God just please help , Regina Daniels. Honestly, may no evil befall her. I pray that she will come around and truly live. She seems too empty to me.

Why is there oil subsidy? Why is there no food subsidy? Why do we not have mass transit in Nigeria? Why are we still having converstations about government subsidy?

NNPC ran down their own refineries and started importing fuel. The fuel consumption ballooned that even a former senate president said he didnt the local consumption data. Transnational smuggling became the norm and one of the candidates has promised to enhance smuggling by bringing back subsidy in an opaque way.

Government cannot handle subsidies. Private refineries are private businesses keen on profit. Once each state government handles mass transit, there is no need to discuss fuel subsidy. Also, give our people power so they wont buy fuel on generators. Incidentally, the candidate who is insisting on bringing back subsidy is the same guy who admitted to paying power sector contractors 100% upfront who later disappeared.

The subsidy question should be rested. Anyone wishing to bring it back is desperate for power and does not mean well.

The greatest problem to Nigeria are Nigerians!

The petrol subsidy became unsustainable when the cost ballooned. Some sell to neighboring countries to make profit, while some even document higher figures without proof, moreover those who are paid to prevent smuggling or falsification of records also take bribe to look away. If food or transportation were to be subsidized, it will work for as long as the average Nigerian has not started to take advantage of it.

A society that has exalted money, instead of critical values like integrity, compassion and diligence, is doomed!

In view of the above, I believe the greatest transformation we need as a country is not a change in leadership, but of orientation. Let’s get back to our true nature - a group of people who embrace hard work, integrity, celebrate contentment and are compassionate. The concept of a good name is better than silver and gold needs to return to our mouths and the way we live. Traditional and religious institutions must get back to work. If a corrupt politician is ostracized by the traditional and religious institutions, he or she is more likely to come around. But these institutions are more like accomplices today.

She's doing runs.

He's riding okada.

To your tents, Oh Israel!

Did you guys listen to her… she said she is going to start a POS business.

I don’t think she was mocking her classmate.

Elusive001:
Hmmmmm
GOD Almighty done become ATM machine for una so?

The number one thing he needs is salvation. His healing na small matter for GOD.

Why do you guys lay the wrong foundation for people's journey of faith?

You have a valid point, I have assumed he is saved, because he said he had prayed and fasted, those are supposed to be the actions of the saved. But I was wrong, a truly saved person should be a dwelling place for the Spirit of God and not the habitation of beasts.

I need to fix that right away. Thank you.

Ojuju1:
Please moderator, I will be happy if you can move this to front page to enable me get solution that I have been desiring for the past years.

I have been experiencing moving objects from my head to my feet for over 15yrs now. For the past 15 years I have visited hospitals, done tests, scan, prayed, fasted and taken herbals but all to no avail.

The last test i went for, I was told that I had stomach ulcers. Which I have taken the medication prescribed for me but no improvement.

The symptoms include feeling as if a living being is moving inside my stomach, terrible stomach pains, worm-like movement on my head, feet even in my scrotum, I find it hard to stand for a very long time because I will be feeling pains on my legs.

Please, if anyone has experienced such or has someone that has gone through such should kindly recommend the best solution that will help me be free from this torment that has made life unbearable to me.

First, understand that it is not the will of God that you should go through this, and for this long! Circumstances may want to make you think otherwise, but be assured, it’s not the will of God. The will of God for you is sound health.

Once the above is settled, from the depth of your heart, ask that the Almighty God will take it away so that you may be able to fulfill destiny. Tell Him that you know He can take it away and He is willing. Tell Him, your body should host only HIS presence and No other strange agent. He will take it away, you don’t even need any special prayers. He is closer to you than you can imagine.

Finally, cultivate an atmosphere of worship of God around you. On your mobile phone and computer system while you work or sleep, let worship songs, NOT prayer songs, but songs about the greatness of the Almighty God and those that guide your heart back to him in true adoration. Let this continue always and forget about it.

You will be freed and you will be able to help anyone in such or similar situations to come out of it in the future. Please continue to cultivate His presence afterwards, it’s always better to have Him in than any foreign agents.

PS

Please understand that I have assumed that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour in the above submission. If that condition isn’t fulfilled, please note that while you can still be healed, you would just be eating from the crumbs that fall off the table where the sons are eating. When you do not have access to it, there is no guarantee that such won’t return.


Jehovah rules in the affairs of men, he is before all things and he is exalted above all things forever and ever!!!!

Benwallt:
Lots of people have graduated and not paying. Heaven never fall. Find another job

Nigerians are their own biggest problem.

Most of the people that will claim not to be able to repay the loan will use sophisticated phones, spend as high as N2000 on airtime and data on weekly basis to Facebook, do YouTube, play Nairabet an Bet9ja and all. Yet, they won’t consider that failing to repay the loan is closing the door against future students from accessing the same loan.

Meanwhile, they also know that they can do this, because opposition politicians don’t know where to draw the line. Some will come out and say the loan should have been free, even though tuition has been free in Federal institutions for years.

This scheme will fail like the previous ones if we remain like this and no political leader will be ever good enough for us.

Hezzyluv:
All this na for formality. Them don employed who them wan employ.

Don’t always think like that.

Some of us chose between jobs without the leg of a man. Union Bank is a credible Organisation. I went through their recruitment process then and got accepted, but I didn’t resume because I got another offer that was better.

This may be funny, but an average Nigerian doesn’t really care!
The primary objective was achieved. You wanted to bully the girl, Nigerians came to her rescue and gave her the platform she wanted, she then went on to do well at the world stage, that was sufficient.

As for the lady herself, she has her life and choices - I don’t know what she’s still doing there in the midst of so much hate.

Kobojunkie:
1. Smart people can do foolish and stewpid things too. Should I be wowed when I see such? 😒😒

2. Simple! Supposedly smart people also have their blind spots. That is why smart people can also make some of the most foolish of decisions in life. This isn't rocket science! 😒😒

3. When did it become a requirement to have all of the answers? I mean, I never asked you for all of the answers... just one answer...but here you keep rambling about not having all of the answers. Why? You claimed you had a personal relationship, yet one question is too hard for you? Then doesn't that invariably mean you have no answers and hence lied about having a personal relationship to whatever you called it? 😒

4. We all have experiences, but what do your experiences have to do with a personal relationship with a deity you claimed applies beyond just you? 😒

I responded to your previous question out of courtesy; I didn’t have to! Using unsavory words like “rambling” and “lied” was uncalled for.

At some point in life, you will realize how wrong you have been about certain things. This is one of them!

Kobojunkie:
What exactly is this thing that is beyond your particular understanding, and why? 😒

2. Why? 😒😒

1. Have you not seen people way smarter and above you in perhaps all aspects of life attend such programmes religiously? Can you explain why they cannot seem to see “the hole” you think you see?

When it comes to faith or belief in God, no one ever has all the answers, as such it is wise to just pass.

To your questions, why?
I don’t claim to have all the answers, but when it comes to issues like these, it is better to let people be. I have my own experiences, it won’t convince you or anyone, except the Almighty God decides to allow it make sense. That is the reality of worship. To some it is foolishness but to others, it is life. For me, it is the latter, to the glory of His name.

Amotolongbo:
Please what is the developmental value and economic contribution of this to our GDP?

The crowd you see there boarded vehicles to that place; most shortlets and hotels around there were all booked; petty and medium traders had a huge crowd to service; all those people were fed twice each day and so on.

Now, would you have been more satisfied if the place was empty and the narrative was “The RCCG Convention deserted this year…”?

This is to you and many like that here on this forum, Take time to weigh your thoughts and words, because at the root of those words may be deep seated subtle enmity with God. You may find it difficult to accept, but you may actually be an agent of satan.


A wise person will read and ponder on the message, not just like or condemn it, but a foolish person will do otherwise.

It is not wise to disdain what is beyond one’s understanding. With every sense of modesty, you cannot bear the shoes of some of the people in that meeting.

reddingtonblack:
What are even saying, You are so greed alll you care about is how to make money off what makes the lives of million miserable

I already checked n post $ is 1388 dis morning .... You think forex trading is for everybody, you cant see a forex trader that praises for naira to strengthen, they wake up everyday praise for another country currency, USD moon naw

As at this morning how many Nigerians woke up with minimum of 500k in there account .. and you are here forming motivational speaker

Lemme ask the credence/rating of a currency is it in " stability or in value"

Perhaps i am not educated enough

I don’t trade forex, I function in the real economy.

This is how it works, what we have inside the ground are some of our major assets apart from our people. Unfortunately, what will develop those things to what you and I can use and the world wants is Technology which we do not have, so we have to buy them, but not with Naira. This means investors will come with the $ to develop those ground assets. These investors are very important to us, just like our assets are to them. If they bring in $ at N1400 and suddenly the rate becomes 1800 or 2000 when they want to take it out, they tend to lose. If it stabilizes there, then they are just doing business and coming out not having to fight exchange rates volatility again. So, an exchange rate that is predictable favours investors. You see what I mean?

Now if we have more and more of these investors, they will recruit more and more people to work for them. When these people earn, they will naturally support their immediate and sometimes extended families and recruit everyday people who clean, cook and so on. That is where the concepts of direct and indirect jobs come in.

Now my initial post was aimed at encouraging people to be ready to join the direct employment - not necessary as an employee alone, but also as a contractor. These guys will need skilled people. That is where we need to develop ourselves.

Finally, the resources that come from God, we have in abundance under our ground, but the one above the ground, you and me, are failing to develop ourselves but are wasting time. FX rate isn’t much of a problem if you can earn more. South Korean Won is about the same value a the Naira or may be less, yet they live excellently because they are productive. A small state in Australia has a GDP that’s almost the size of Nigeria because they are productive! You need great skills to be productive, and when you are productive, you are rewarded with competitive payment.

Guys, learn to separate yourself from politicians!
This allows you to praise and criticize constructively when needed.

What I expected an intelligent person to do is to check the exchange rate in the last 24 months like he said and see if volatility has been less than 3-5%; then check the Stock market performance and finally see how he or she can benefit from the boom, if available data validate the man’s claim.

However, I see people coming to praise Tinubu or lampoon the guy for the information. See guys, Tinubu and his generations are made, so is Peter Obi and his. PO is making a kill from the current stock market boom; go and check. Don’t sit somewhere and insist that until he comes things won’t improve. You are your own greatest asset, please make the most of it! Don’t waste time! For those who are ready and always developing themselves, all government administrations favour them. Have you guys not noticed that more and more companies are now coming out to recruit? Things are looking up, it is a fact! Ignore the fellow at the helms of affairs and make the most of this time!

He never said that!

My God! Guys, please learn to read and listen before posting.

From the comments made by many people here, they just read the headline without watching the video. Meanwhile, I think the headline is fraudulent, and the poster should be flagged by the admin. The content is different from his summary.

Some of you seem to watch the back of your TV, else I don’t know what will make any sane human being to say IRGC , NOT Iran, is winning a war that has heavily decimated them.

I don’t really know what some of you believe in, to support such an insane regime, but trust me, if you actually know that these guys are killing the great Iranians, sponsoring and perpetuating terrorism around the world, killing their own people and their people, alongside Saudi Arabia, UAE, even Qatar etc.
urging the so called aggressors, the USA, to continue until the regime becomes very weak or changed, and you still support them, then you are one of them! You are a burden to civilization and anything called Good!

Imagine an IRGC that states on air that if America enters their land, they will bomb that section of their own country; I saw this - NOT AI. The same people said even if they get to a point where they can no longer hold out, they would bomb Iran. These are not human beings! They are the real Haram Bokos plus actual terrorists with insane, unthinkable mentality - mentally unstable and heavily demented people in my opinion.

PDPdestroyer:
My Obidient neighbour just committed suicide because of this news. In his suicide note, he said there’s nothing else to campaign for Obi with, hence his decision

They shouldn’t have been kidnapped in the first place. And, for those talking about ransom payment, for now, let’s just be happy for those who are now free from captivity and trust God to bring all others out and thoroughly destroy the perpetuators, their sponsors, collaborators and those who gain or rejoice over these terrible events in our country.

Nigerians, let’s learn to love one another, without it there would be no empathy.

Honestly, this guy is fixing Nigeria despite the multitude of challenges and muddy waters. ASUU has refused to revamp and refocus the University curriculum, if he insisted, ASUU will commence industrial action, and since many of the internet warriors don’t even like him, they will just increase the tempo of his criticism.

In about 1 week now, we have State Police and NYSC Reform. That’s no small feat. Well, as for me, Obi wouldn’t have done a quarter of what BAT has achieved. I believe this fact is clear to him in his heart. May be Atiku could do as well too.

This has nothing to do with Tinubu na.

Meanwhile, we need to avoid sensationalism o.
You had a cheap, well subsidized education then want to cut out immediately after, it is not fair now!

The country has a lot of challenges, no doubt, but the responsibility of fixing things lies with each and every one of us.

Before somebody will come and start saying insecurity and weak currency, it’s important to note that they had the education in the midst of all these challenges. And those people should also note that no one eats his cake and have it. If they all get cheap education and go, how many people will be in our hospitals, we will then come here to blame the government.

We must understand that these politicians are not doing this one for themselves at least, because they can afford to go abroad and get treated. This one is for you and I.

Now this is very unintelligent! Even organisations that will give basic finance to a business will demand a well documented business plan, which by the way is not written just by sitting with an AI, alone.

By now, you should have known the root cause of the power problems and insecurity bedeviling Nigeria; identified competent people that will work with you, who should have been aware of the problem and submitted a blue print of how the problems can be resolved and how long it might take, with room for limited errors. That is the only time he can hit the ground running and at least achieve something of value within the 4 years tenure he’s canvassing for.

Personally, I don’t believe this guy can do much. But he coming out to say this validates my stance even more.

Proserpina:
I think moderators should start taking down this anti women / female threads. It's only on Nairaland I see people boldly preaching against having female children.

Seun
Mynd44
RoyalRoy please look into this.

Beyond anti-women or Female narratives being peddled by the post, the Op’s conclusion is too data bereaved and lacks depth.

As a male factor, I have seen females run their father’s businesses even before the man passes on. Where I come from, inheritances are shared equally amongst the children, even if the first child is a female, she can still preside over the administration of the assets of the deceased and it’s been working very well.

Moreover, as an employee and employer, I have seen females do better at what they do than many of their male counterparts.

In view of the above, I will say that the premise upon which the Op based his argument was an outlier, a one-in-several situations, so his assumption is faulty and conclusion a nullity in my view.

2027: Aisha Yesufu Loses NDC Senatorial Primary in FCT

Popular activist Aisha Yesufu has lost the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) senatorial primary for the Federal Capital Territory.

She was defeated by party chieftain Amanda Pam in the keenly contested primary.

Aisha, who recently declared her intention to run for the FCT Senate seat to give residents a stronger voice, is now facing heavy ridicule on social media, with many mocking her strong online presence versus local political structure.

This is a major setback.

After building significant visibility through activism and support for Peter Obi, her loss raises questions about the power of social media influence versus grassroots political machinery.

The big question for Abuja residents:

Does this prove that politics remains local and structure-driven, or can activist voices like Aisha still break through in future contests?

Abuja people and Nigerians, what’s your take?

Nigerians are interesting group of people, because they say one thing and then do another. One would have expected that this woman would be voted massively, but NO. I believe that the primary reason for this could be that she did not give out money or that she was regarded as being too outspoken for her gender , hence unfit based on religion.

The same people who will complain about bad leadership, support you when you speak against constituted powers etc, but will also condemn you when they eventually vote against where their “mouth” has been after collecting something. However, I don’t blame them anymore, after all, I won’t give to them , neither would most of those who are asking them to vote otherwise. In reality, a working Nigeria may still exclude many of the people that are actually voting in Nigeria. Many of the people who want improvement in governance are already in the upper or lower middle-class.

A complex society where white may not always be white and right may not always be taken over wrong!

Kanwulia:
Because na only Fulani and Yoruba get Nigeria abi?

Nonsense!

Though I find this whole direction funny, it amplifies the deeply seated ethnicity behind the call for PO. Seyi Makinde is way ahead of Obi in governance, business, academic excellence, recency of experience and youthfulness.

Now many are coming out to say the actual reason behind their choice of Obi - it’s always been about “our turn”. I don’t see Obi doing as much as he did in 2023 the way things are panning out.

I dare say that this is revealing a lot. Many wouldn’t have accepted PBAT anyways, even if he constructed roads to their rooms and made electricity free - he took their “turn”.

We are not ready for a new Nigeria then.. I think it’s better for the country to split up amicably. The average NW and some NE people see and feel closer to the people of Niger than the Igbo or Yoruba man; to many of these same group, everything must have a religious undertone and so on. The only group that would have made a solid country (SW/SE) are always at war with one another.

LagosOrigin:
Tinubu should start writing his hand over note.

He's a goner!

It's over for him and Wike.


Massive defections into the ADC especially from the north in the coming days.

Congratulations to sane Nigerians, We Move

Let’s learn to manage our emotions. They are going back to trials. How long would that last and how much time does ADC have to provide its candidates?

Today, we praise SC for this judgment, if tomorrow, things don’t go the way we want it, we should be ready to equally accept it.

I hope we choose well in the coming elections.

LIES


My brother, some of the things on your list are real like NELFUND, the new minimum wage, tax reform, and clearing the forex backlog. Nobody is denying that government launched plenty programmes.
But make we talk the real thing wey dey happen for ground.

Since Tinubu came in 2023, poverty don jump from 56% to 63% according to World Bank report this April 2026. That means over 140 million Nigerians dey poor now millions more than before. Many people wey dey manage before are now struggling badly.

Petrol wey be around ₦185–250 for May 2023 don jump to over ₦1,200–1,400 now. How many people fit carry that one? Transport cost triple for most people. Market women, okada riders, teachers, everybody dey feel am.

Food prices still dey pain. Even though food inflation don come down small from the 40% peak, rice, beans, garri, yam, everything still cost 2-3 times what they were in 2023. Plenty families don reduce to one meal per day. Some no dey eat meat or fish again. Hunger don enter many houses.

Naira don lose serious value from around ₦460 to one dollar to over ₦1,370 now. Anything wey dem import (food, drugs, spare parts) don become very expensive. That one fuel the inflation.

The government refineries (Port Harcourt, Warri, Kaduna). them still never really work well. Billions spent on rehabilitation but most time them dey shut down. The only big refinery working well na Dangote own (private). So that "refineries activation" claim na just talk.

Minimum wage increased to ₦70,000 yes. But with this kind inflation, the money no get power again. Wetin ₦30,000 fit do in 2022, ₦70,000 no fit do am today. Salary don increase but purchasing power don drop badly.

Stock market dey boom and government revenue don increase that one na true. But the ordinary man for street no dey feel am. The pain of subsidy removal and naira float hit everybody hard, but the cushion (safety nets) no strong enough.

Abeg, listing all the programmes and initiatives no mean say people life don better. When your wife dey cry because she no fit buy food reach, when your children dey miss school because transport too costly, when rent don double all those acronyms no go comfort anybody.

If Tinubu supporters wan show say him don do well, make dem show us clear evidence say the average family dey better today than May 2023. Not press release. Not "we launched this".

The suffering dey real for most Nigerians right now. Poverty don increase, hunger don increase. Na the truth.

I agree that the impact of these reforms on the lower middle class and those at the bottom rung of the ladder has been terrible. The question is WHY?

Personally, I do not think Tinubu should be voted out because most of the people vying for the position today either also have life time ambitions to fulfill or they are opportunists trying to leverage on the emotions of the average Nigerian to rise to power.

Having said the above, if we actually want the “poor man on the street” to feel the impacts of reforms like this, we need to re-introduce socialism, it could be for the next few years. Price control and setting of salary benchmarks will resolve most of the challenges we have today. A minimum wage of N200k and a maximum wage of N500k will significantly crash house rent and others plus the reorientation of our people to understand that money is not everything - a notion most people don’t agree with again today.

But it won’t happen because you and I would rather maximize profit at the expense of anything; show off wealth than see most things affordable for most people and so on.

Personally I feel that the poverty of the “common man” has more to do with the common man and his greedy Neighbour, you and I, than it is with the president.

Most Nigerians are evil o… people have been complaining about Wale Edun but as soon as he was removed and replaced by Oyedele, he became a great choice. In deed, if you are hated, there is nothing you do that would be good.

GEJ was also criticized for almost every step he took at the time, today we wish for his days as president to return, but it is too late.

We must grow up as a people if we ever want to really make progress. Greatness takes time, but if we continue on this path, we will always loose our gains. The politicians are lurking around to achieve their “lifetime ambitions” by leveraging on our impatience and indecisiveness.

Think about it, if we were patient with GEJ, we wouldn’t have had the calamitous 8years that ended in 2023 or the current one. Disgruntled politicians always take advantage of us, today those guys are gathered in another party to do the exact same thing - in my view.

This is honest! Thank you.

Who do you support Obi or BAT?

They should be executed on national television. That will send strong chills to those who are either still practicing banditry and terrorism or planning to start it.

Kenobsky:
Rented or not rented Tinubu is a goner.
Naira land is missing people like:
Slaworrmir.
NwaAmaikpe.
Mejiloyon.
This are the men who make this forum become more interesting.
Seun has spoiled this forum for unnecessary ban.

Here is the problem! If he actually rented the crowd, then the action should be condemned because he is not different from those he is seeking to replace.

Personally, any Nigerian who is sincere about change should look the way of Sowore more. He has been more consistent than the others. He has refused to join those plundering Nigerians for a while now, we have read instances where they attempted to bribe him but he refused. I think another person that would have been like that would have been Tunde Bakare, but it appears he seems to be indifferent these days.

In view of the above, anyone who actually desires to see positive change, NOT because of ethnicity or hatred for the current administration, shouldn’t even be looking the way of Obi in my opinion. His actions seem to betray sincerity, pure desire to lead and make a difference. When you begin to romance with those who have plundered Nigeria, there is no way you can run the country without them.

But seriously, we need to stop these. Your leader and some of his family members were taken out in the first 50 minutes of a war; in less than 48 hours your entire airspace is taken over by the your enemy unhindered, they assassinate whoever they like and bomb whatever they wanted; you tried to get new leader, the enemy came and bombed the gathering; you appointed a new military leader after the first one was killed less than 24 hours into the war, the new military leader was killed; you started having meetings in schools and stay more in hospitals because you know your enemies won’t want to attack such places, staying there you appointed the son of the dead leader, and that one again was injured less than 96 hours after his appointment and now in coma. Then you succeed in attacking some of your enemy bases as well as launch missiles to the other one and a few people died while some got injured; then you claim victory Is that how it’s done?

Well, we will see how it all ends.

Let’s set the record straight, prophecies about individual’s death are always to the individual and not the public - search the scriptures. Secondly, when an individual receives such prophecies, his or her reaction could affect the outcome of the prophecy - Hezekiah comes to mind.

Having said the above, please let’s know that the greatest manifestation of the power and mercy of God is not in the healings or money He makes available to you, because the devil can also give these things, sometimes even human determination can bring about financial success. The greatest demonstration of the power and mercies of God to man, is SALVATION and deliverance from the power of sin! This is worth far more than all the treasures in all the earth and dimensions we can only see but not access. You were not purchased with the mundane but with the precious blood of Christ.

In view of the above, PLEASE, if you have been saved, don’t joke with your salvation, because it is God’s most precious gift and the summit of His mercies towards humanity. However, if you are yet to come into the fold, Rev. 3:20 is still in force, but not forever. If all of these mean nothing or even foolishness to you, just scroll away, perhaps the god of this world may have blinded your eyes from seeing properly - though the grace that brings salvation already appeared to you, may His mercy draw you in.

… Hallelujah to the King eternal, the reigning Lord, the father of spirits and grand commander of all hosts … PEACE!
