Thank God for their life sha



The way the country be everybody suppose da on guard. The country is on autopilot mode. Sleep with one eye open. I just da reason life

Rescued but the kidnappers were not killed, injured or captured

How is that possible?

nairalanda1:
Good, you are really showing them APC support pepper. You are a good nigerian. I believe you did the same when PDP was in power...



I spoke too soon.

Ah well, as for me, APC =PDP=LP

Who are the APC supporters I am showing pepper?

How ami showing them pepper?

What did you speak too soon?

nairalanda1:
Good questions, but they won't answer them

Who are the "they" that won't answer?

nairalanda1:
Good question for the apc supporters....

Who are the apc supporters?

And I just replied you.

Did I say you didn't reply?

I didnt ask you what government does or does not do.

How is taking advantage of the suffering of Nigerians and breaking the law to enrich yourself being smart?

underpinna:
Because that's what the government do too.

dallyemmy:
I don't speak for the government. However, you fact check the exchange rate of Nigeria compare to our neighbours. Then you can make your inference why it's a good business for the smugglers. Have a great day!

that is not what I asked you. since you have checked the exchange rate, then you should have no issues answering the questions.

Is this the first time that the naira is being devalued?

If devaluation is the reason for fuel being smuggled to neighbouring countries, how come the government has always said the reason for smuggling is because the price is low and needs to be increased?

If devaluation is the problem, how does government deliberately devalue the naira knowing the consequences it will have in terms of smuggling?

mrvitalis:
If they pay tax they would do more

You claimed that Burna boy is keeping quiet today.

If he kept quiet according to you, would you be on this thread?

nairalanda1:
We are still subsidising. That is why we still have smuggling.

Good morning. Shebi you wanted subsidy. Your leader is giving you subsides. See the effect of bad APC Policies. Result is the mess we have now.

I know you guys care for the poor of this country, but it is evident we can no longer sustain subsides, or shortfall.

Pls read again. Take note of the highlighted.

all these years, we have been told that the justification for fuel price increase is to discourag e smuggling to neighbouring countries.

After all the price increases under the guise of removing subsidy, how come smuggling of fuel to neighbouring countries is still taking place?.

Who are the "we"?

Who is "your president"?

If there is a "we", who is the "your"?

What is the "bad APC policy" that you say the effect should be seen?

What is the mess "we" have now?

Who are the "you guys" you are referring to?

How is fuel subsidy no longer sustainable?

My Watch
Book by Oluṣẹgun Ọbasanjọ will help you better

Did the book not help you?

If it did, use that help that it helped you to answer the question.

What are those Nigerian assets atiku sold to himself?

nairalanda1:


It is simple.

1. Fuel costs below N1000 here

2. Fuel costs above N1000 over there. Even in NIger, with the recent reduction, fuel costs N1400 per liter

3. Naturally, smuggling would result. And let's be honest, it is not only big people doing it, even the small ordinary Nigerian would carry a 50 liter jerrycan of fuel across the border, and sell it, and come back with a big enough profit to bribe customs, and still have enough left over.

4. We don't have fuel, because government is struggling to pay the subsidy on fuel. Right now we owe fuel exporters lots of money, we are struggling to even pay the NNPC shortfall, and NNPC is now raiding the dividends to pay off its own shortfall.

5. And yet, Nigerians keep asking for cheap fuel

It is our desire to have N40 fuel that is causing this, people. And it is high time we woke up and realized fuel cannot be cheap, and totally removed subsidy.

Yet, anyone suggesting this now is apparently agbado, even if they have never voted for tinubu or never liked the man (I have not liked tinubu since 2005, when Gani first raised the questions about his certificate then)....

But it is obvious subsidy, even at tinubu level is not sustainable.

The only way to stop smuggling is to TOTALLY REMOVE SUBSIDES. Yes, fuel would cost N1500 per liter, and yes, Agbado people brought hardship to NIgeria, and yes NIgeria needs to divide, and bla bla bla

But you cannot sell at a loss and not expect issues.

And if you think NIgeria is the only country with this issue....

1. LIbya has a severe smuggling problem, to the point that smuggliers are being bombed by the LIbyan air force

2. Saudi has a smuggling problem with Yemen, which they are finding hard to fight

3. Iran has issues on the border with Pakistan. Iranian fuel is being smuggled into Pakistan well well. Subaisy

4. Venezuela has a massive smuggling problem. Same thing happening here. They lost 18 bn dollars to smuggling one year.


See the benefits of subsidy


Yet somehow, we want something that costs over N1000 to make to be sold at N200 or less because 'poverty'

We better wake up folks.

all these years, we have been told that the justification for fuel price increase is to discourage smuggling to neighbouring countries.

After all the price increases under the guise of removing subsidy, how come smuggling of fuel to neighbouring countries is still taking place?

dallyemmy:
It is because of the devaluation of the Naira while the values of our neighbours' currencies have not really changed.

Another lame excuse.

Is this the first time that the naira is being devalued?

If devaluation is the reason for fuel being smuggled to neighbouring countries, how come the government has always said the reason for smuggling is because the price is low and needs to be increased?

If devaluation is the problem, how does government deliberately devalue the naira knowing the consequences it will have in terms of smuggling?

Timmi:
Go and read Obasanjo book. Lazy ineptitude mentality. You want people to research everything for you. If you really want to know, then get up, dust off your behind and go read/study/research and stop playing dumb.

You sound really hurt. What's the problem?

Are you aware that asking questions is the foundation of research?

Since you have read, studied, researched and not playing dumb, am surprised that you can't answer this very simple question for a person of your intellectual level...

What are those Nigerian assets atiku sold to himself?

When these people who support tinubu are asked to assess tinubus performance, they will say "it's too early to assess his performance. He needs more time".

When they are asked what they think atiku, obi, sowore and co would have done differently, they will say all these aspirants would have failed as president.

If they can't assess the performance of the person in office, how are they able to assess the performance of obi, atiku, sowore and co who are yet to be in office?

Is it like they are blind to the present but have a crystal ball that helps them tell the future or it's the lens of sycophancy and tribalism that they put on?

madridguy:
Atiku as a Vice president sold almost every Nigeria assets to himself through his proxies, now imagine him as a president

lexy2014 weyrey. always repeating same questions . weyrey alasho

But your name calling still leaves the questions unanswered.

1. If he doesn't pay taxes in Nigeria, how does that disqualify him from speaking on the issues plaguing Nigeria?

2. Has he said anything that is out of place?

diamond68:
I guess I can come to your house where you pay all the bills and tell you how to run it ? 👀🤣 . If you don’t pay taxes you have no say because you are part of the problem. ImAgine armed robber giving you advice about morality ?

How does your analogy answer my questions?

We are facing fuel hardship, people are using it to cash out in other countries.

Business no go kill Nigerians.

Last last, na the smart ones dey ball the cash.

How is taking advantage of the suffering of Nigerians and breaking the law to enrich yourself being smart?

Dynamicboss:
The situation is the same as when the wicked people claimed they pay fuel subsidy against not paying now. It is other countries benefitting the rot system of this country.

How are other countries benefitting?

But all these years, we have been told that the justification for fuel price increase is to discourage smuggling to neighbouring countries.

Burna boy just keep singing your songs and don’t let buju Banton gaslight you into throwing your career away. Ever since buju banton said afrobeats is rubbish because they sing about rubbish instead of singing about issues and uplifting Africa, ever since then burna has been gaslighted

First of all you don’t qualify to talk about Nigeria because I am sure you don’t pay taxes in Nigeria

Secondly these talking points of Nigeria being created is a dummy’s talking point. Every country in this world was put together and created by humans for business purposes at one point or the other. Take the USA for example ? They added Texas from Mexico and Hawaii recently to their landmass as a country and everything is fine. So nigerias problem is not the country created but the people inside that country are plagued by numerous demons , demons have found a comfortable home in that geographical region called Nigeria. We need demon slayers, the Orunmilas, to cleanse the whole land

In conclusion? Burna boy just keep quiet and stop trying to sound intelligent because you are not intelligent. You are just vomiting what you read somewhere on ipob page

If he doesn't pay taxes in Nigeria, how does that disqualify him from speaking on the issues plaguing Nigeria?

Has he said anything that is out of place?

If our celebrities pay the Tax they are meant to pay they won't be this silent

The tax they don't pay is a bribe to them

You want to tell me burner boy makes 80 million dollars and pays 40 million dollars as tax he would keep quiet like he is today?

No... I have always said it Tax would fix every problem we have in Nigeria

If he kept quiet according to you, would you be on this thread?

Tayorshd87:
He didn't say he wants to go back to bachelors hood he was just trying to pass a message.

Only an adult will understand.. SMH

Adult, can you show me in my comment that you responded to where you saw where it was said that he said the above?

its not too late to walk away from your marriage and back to bachelorhood

What is the message he was trying to pass?

Pls what does the highlighted below mean?

PheelzAlmighty:
I got married....and honestly I'm still trying to process it all.

There's a baby on the way and that's enough incentive..I guess 😏
Guys but honestly if you can, don't get married. Nothing special about it, just more responsibility, liability and routine serenren😔

Bmaster:
This man is on another level with wasting of resources and he doesn't seem to care

Because that is the only thing he came to do. It's all about "emilokan".

Max24:
Imagine how much Nigeria would spend if the president had to travel on chartered aircraft that is not Nigeria's. Does it not make economic sense that we bought our own aircraft. The aircraft is a tool to bring more prosperity to Nigeria. People like Obi are arm- chair critics who have never delivered development to their people as he is penny wise but pounds foolish. Don't mind them jare, the Jagaban !

Pls what exactly is tinubu travelling for?

What is the benefit of the traveling?

Does his traveling to France make economic sense?.

Does tinubu now live in France that he now has to "return" to France from Nigeria?

Will a chartered flight be parked at the airport in France to wait for tinubu?

Throwback:
Nigeria is rich enough to run its government with whatever funds is required to run the government.

All you have listed is government expenditure on government assets and government operational costs.

how are the following assets?:

new cars and tyres purchased at the cost of ₦3.7b and N244m respectively.

new VP's house built at the cost of ₦21b.

National Assembly renovated at the cost of ₦30b

SUVs for the legislootors at the cost of #160m each.

Expending ₦1b on a trip to Ethiopia for just one week.

Expended over ₦90b for Hajj operation.

$150m spent on a new plane without legislative approval

Throwback:
Nigeria is rich enough to run the government that the constitution says it should run.

As long as you have not changed the constitution, those lamenting now will get to power and continue the expenditure on the things the illiterate man considers a waste.

Or how can the eventual building of the Vice President's residence be termed a waste after decades of pussy footing?

How can a 3rd hand Airplane for the Presidential fleet still be termed a waste, when you currently do not have any other better plane in the Presidential fleet?

What is the problem with renovating a national asset like the National Assembly?

The problem with beer parlour analysts is that they feel the urge to question any amount they see tagged to any expenditure, without any empirical fact to show why it should have cost less.

how does the constitution say the government should be run?

Throwback:
It is you who consider it a waste. I do not consider running costs and procurement of assets as waste.

Nigeria is rich enough to run its government as stipulated by the constitution.

Left to you, even the budget is a waste as it is not valued at N3million.

Left to you, everything is a waste unless you are the one in power.

1. how did thee constitution stipulate that the government should be run.

An asset is a resource with economic value that an individual or company owns or controls with the expectation that it will provide a future benefit.

2. how are the following assets?:

new cars and tyres purchased at the cost of ₦3.7b and N244m respectively.

new VP's house built at the cost of ₦21b.

Throwback:
Keep reinforcing your own shallow opinion that every government spending is a waste.

can you show me the opinion you are referring to?

when did question become the same thing as opinion?

is nigeria rich enough to waste funds on the following?: SIMPLE YES OR NO

tinubu spent ₦3.7b on new cars and N244m on tyres.

Built new VP's house at the cost of ₦21b.

bought SUVs for the legislootors at the cost of #160m each.
