Komu1048:
U must be a baby in this country, and what brings parent to this discuss. If u r not mature enough to speak better go n learn

I don't just post before I think..... ascendancy to CJN is based on hierarchy and no one can stop her from getting there even if she were to be the president's blood sister!!

If you want Ur parents to be unashamed of you....you don't opine like a dimwit!!

jumpandpas:
Las las you'll show us what you achieved more than the enemies.
The enemies seems to benefit more under any government in power, they're still buying your ancestral lands and are still building on them while your people continue crying and protesting because of hunger.

Buying properties on another man's land and who benefits ? Where do the taxes go?you are the ones helping them add value to their land while yours turns to a wasteland no one is interested in acquiring......with all the money you spent acquiring the land,99 years after it goes back to the owners and you have to negotiate again.....the cycle continues.

Komu1048:
Nepotism is d order of the day in Nigeria, God abeg help use nepotism lift me up too

You know nothing....go learn how CJN emerges.....you know nothing and stop embarrassing your parents!!

lagonovo:
Logically, that simply means this not about PDP or APC.

Sadly Fools don't know that....that's why u still find people crying over GEJ's loss in 2015 when GEJ himself has moved on and is in cahoots with the same people that ousted him.....but fools don't kno that

The next inec chair is going to be from the SS can't be same region with the president because the president appoints directly with concurrence of NASs....the SE too is in Reckoning to be next inec chair but I doubt the powers that be are going to allow that.

press9jatv:
Chaiiii this is a big terrorists sponsor here and he’s affiliated to Fg under Tinubu leadership. Nawaoooo 🐵🐵🐵🐵

Affiliated to tinubu and same tinubu is prosecuting him for attempting to destabilise his govt......how more confused can you be?

Zionmdde:
Not surprising
Everything APC is criminality. You cannot take away criminality and thuggery from APC, Those two things were the very foundation on which that party were built upon. Even in NL here they have multiple accounts.

And we think things will ever get better in this country

How then would you explain his relationship with GEJ of the PDP?

CodeTemplar:
Protecting local farmer dont always work out well. There are strong-willed middlemen who unionize to milk farmers and consumers from one end to another.
We saw that in a thread few weeks back when market women resisted on of their colleagues who was selling at lower price in Kwara state. They sell at intl market price. Controlled opening of the local market to foreign goods is better than total shutdown or opening. Have you wondered why food items that are majorly consumed in nigeria have been the most expensive? Cassava, Yam are exceptionally higher in price.

The major reason for high food prices is inadequacy......we simply aren't producing enough also our agric economy is badly skewed to the detriment of the real local farmers......all this is due to lack of adequate investments by govt and relevant stakeholders,we have no reason to still be practicing subsistent farming....we have one of the lowest land productivity ratios 8n whe world comparatively.

All these problems have been there for decades and cannot be wished away by hating tinubu or obi.

Beremx:
Tinubu isn't ready to solve hunger crisis in Nigeria. He makes a policy for zero tarrif on imported food items and gives a crazy condition for his policies.


Another massive protest loading soon.

You need to protect your local farmers by disallowing different foods being dumped on us.....if you were to allow foreign rice unimpeded for instance,you will kill local businesses who are already into farming and processing,jobs would be lost,investments will be lost.

Also we have limited availability of Forex and introducing this policy without some control can further worsen the already bad Forex rates.

This policy will surely drive down prices of rice,wheat and maize but we can't sacrifice our economic interest for popular opinion.

Don't just criticise without having a good hang of any topic

omojeesu:
1. I have my farms though l live in an urban area. Just harvested my maize!
2. Sometimes I wonder how some of us reason. Did my post ever suggest that Tinubu should come and farm for me?
3. Do you have your own farm?
4. Serious governments promote local farming to prevent hunger in the land and not depend on importation.
5. If other countries don't farm and have surplus how are we going to import from
them.
6. How safe is the food for our consumption?
7. When are we going to stop this culture of being mere consumers instead of being producers and exporters with added value?

I am glad you mentioned you are a farmer......you should be able to better understand the problems we have in our agric sector.....we have been retrogressing in agric for decades we barely could provide enough to feed ourselves.

The govt is to blame largely,I agree but people trying to place all the blame for the current food crises we are having is totally unacceptable to me.

muykem:
Obidients will never see anything wrong with it.

Stop speaking without thinking.....the pic of the said road doesn't show erosion but rather an uncompleted tarred road.....the headline and the pic doesn't tally.....I am not Igbo,I am not obidient and I don't like Peter obi.....but truth needs to be said!!

10mobile:
Great. But, does she call her mom "guys"?

I greet my mum what's up!! What's the big deal?

omojeesu:
Why should we ever have to import food?
Why can't we feed ourselves?
And in addition be exporting food?

We have crude oil we are importing petroleum products!

We have fruitful lands we can't feed ourselves?

And we say we got Independence!!!!

Are we jinxed?

Why are you in the city and not on the farm,so you expect tinubu to go to farm food for you?

Newyorkitis:
How will this bring down the price of rice if it has to be milled here in Nigeria? These people don't understand what it means to govern.
Those of us that have done rice cultivation knows that if I mill 1 bag of 100kg rice, I might end up with 75-80 of rice.
Who then suffers the loss?

Bulk husked brown rice is cheaper than the finished one.....the good thing is that business men would be the once importing themselves and the competition would balance out prices.....anybody can now go and bring into the country and sell at your own price.

RecessionistPMB:
The effect of this policy will be too negligible to be felt.

The cost of transporting these items will erode any perceivable price reduction.

Whatever has gone up is usually difficult to come down in Nigeria.

There is imota mill in ikorodu Lagos that can feed the entire SW and there is a port terminal in same ikorodu......it should cost not more than 2,000 naira to transport 50 kg to and from that mill in Lagos.

dimgbajwe:
They have started. The 40 thousand naira bag of rice they say they will sell where is it today?

Be calming down....the policy just took effect yesterday.....so more people can have access.....govt have been providing rice at subsidised rates but the people receiving are round tripping it to sell @70 to 80k.

Nigerians are very terrible people,that's why govt now seeks to liberalise it and have genuine businesses bring it in so it can rich more people and govt stops wasting money subsidising rice for some few to feed fat

Majesty7:
Customs have started again with wayo. Which one is, "husked brown rice"? Why not dehusked rice? Yes, we know that it is, husked *brown* rice but average Nigerian customs are illiterate and touts. They might attack the grain if the rice is not brown and called it polished rice. Polished rice is also dehusked but more processed than just, *husked brown rice*.

Customs are wild, devilish and street smart. The government should please look into that and make corrections. Customs are just trying to be smart here.

Secondly, what is all this bullshit about the need for importers to own a milling plant with a capacity of at least 100 tons per day, operate for at least four years and have enough farmland for cultivation? 100tons/pay is approximately 2000 bags (50kg) production per day. If we truly have mills that are already producing 2000 bags per day, do we need to import again? What sick country is this?

It was the federal government that gazetted those items and not customs.however, finished rice will still come in through the back door.

We have several mills in Nigeria that can achieve that capacity,the challenge had always been adequate feed stock,same problem dangote refinery is facing.however if imports are allowed there will be sufficient production which will eventually drop prices.

This policy is masked so as to pretend to protect local producers but you and I know that this is Nigeria..... however,I believe this policy will crash prices to about 45 to 50k a bag.

DevilsEqual:
That troll is silly

And the hate in his comment was just as if he has a personal issue with Chike

For an artiste that's never had any scandal,either on or offline, he shouldn't be dragged that way

Nice Gesture from Chike

Death also made mohbad.....he was just a regular average artist while he was here, would have just been like young John or joeboy level......life is all about opportunities and chike was just at the right place at the right time ......mohbad wasn't!!

DevilsEqual:
This isnt cool
Don't tribalise everything

Not all his fans are Igbos

Sharp,lucky guy if I must say

DisGuy:
18months Project of 2007 or there abouts.....almost 20 years still uncompleted-abandoned!

The Katsina state govt is already asking the FG to hand it over to the state......you need not blame a minister who just came in barely a year for the decades of rot we have 8n our energy space. ..... The remains ,he is up and doing and making some progress.

slimfit1:
You are so ignorant or you are not well informed so I can't argue with you. I've seen solar farms in a place that only has 3 to 4 hours of sun light you foolish animal. My cousin install solar panels in Holland you fool. China and Egypt are using solar farms, I work for an energy company so don't come and say something you don't know. Do you know how many jobs that will create alone. Because US are not using it so for that reason we should stay in darkness. See stay away from me. Don't like people that think like monkeys responding to my comments.

Hope u got lots of energy......go check REA Nigeria and see how many solar projects they alone are handling not to talk off other govt agencies.....Katsina alone has one of the largest wind energy farms in Africa when completed.

Go read your initial post and see how uninformed you sound.those countries u mentioned do not have only solar as their primary source of power.....no govt would encourage that.

slimfit1:
A minister that is not focusing on solar farm installations and manufacturing is destination failure just like Fashola. We have sun reserve I don't know why I am saying what we already know.

Even the most technologically advanced countries in the world and even the richest,none depends on solar energy as primary source of power .....you guys just pull narratives out Ur arses and spew rubbish ....you don't have to make comments every time to embarrass yourself.

Parable007:
Sincerely I fear if Dangote will be able to reduce the price of fuel to around 200-300 max. This is what Nigerians want, anything above this is useless. But they are trying to frustrate him from crashing the price.
The it's high time for Nigerians to know that some people benefit more when Nigerian goes bad.

That isn't possible,yes there will be some reduction which obviously makes sense but nothing outside 20-25% at most.....anyone looking for 200 naira fuel would be the biggest dreamer ever..... dangote isn't getting the fuel for free and he is buying at international price.

omowolewa:
This response is harsh

I do not believe an organisation at that level and those in charge of their corporate communications know what they are doing cannot issue such crass and ridiculous statement.

Kingsmeal:
But you guys clapped for Joe Igbokwe when he insinuated the artists have no elder right?

Two faced people for a reason.

Now peace move has started and you guys are still sad.

Bitter tribe

Of all the problems in Nigeria settling family feuds is obi's priority......I thought you guys said security agents killed 1000s of people.....I expected your lord and saviour obi to have started visiting them after all he was the one urging them on to protest.

JAMO84:
Yes, this is what a good elder do.

Peter Obi, a good man with toxic followers

I can live with Peter Obi Presidency, what I can't live with is his headless mob having a victory celebration. God forbid.

His greatest undoing are his followers....can't imagine their crass mentality prevailing in this country..... Nigeria would have become Mussolini fascist state.

Richtaiwo:
Such an intelligent leader. That is what Balablu cannot do. That is the president we voted before Tinubu sent his agbadorians to steal ballot box.

These are the comments that will dominate this thread. Oh, they are even here already.

Where were ballot boxes stolen.....despite all the victimisation and coercion by obi's people to vote him,he still came a distant 3rd.....same SE that is calling everyone not deluded like the obi mob tribalists,are the same once whose voting pattern reeks tribalism the highest.

FahBuLous:
I saw this yesterday and i was so disgusted with the south africans..

It's no big deal and don't hit urself too hard over this.....the English and the French still banter right from the beginning of civilization itself,same for Indians and Pakistanis,Russians and polish .....this are just normal banters you should take for the laughs nothing more.

ednut1:
The justice system is a joke. Will be out soon to continue

He perhaps is a first offender!! That's a good justice system.....here people spend 10yrs in jail for picking pockets.

dinge:
even in London

Dey play!! Nah Una dey like to paint Una own country black like say nah d worst tin on earth

NaijaSumigan:
You're out of touch... Cos you don't understand the pains of the masses. You presume I will flock around a politician cos he's related to me. Infact, I will be his number one critic if he misbehave. I don't support stupidity... Open your blind eyes and set yourself free from these demons called politicians

His people elected him and you dont have anything on him......you need to stop Ur pedestrian way of reasoning......those cars there are what he can easily afford......face Ur own elected officials and leave him alone if you can't prove anything against him.

NaijaSumigan:
All of them including the political thief that gave the car shall all drive themselves to early grave if that money is part of Nigerian stolen funds or money meant for the masses.

This will surely happen if that money belongs to the masses. Anyone of them who is smart among the aides should return that car, it's a death certificate for them.

Stop the debauchery.....what if he was your relative or friend and he helps u out would u say d same.....u sound like someone filled with hate......calm down and take a deep breath and don't hate eat u up.....it never ends well.
