Men to be honest it has improved, like seriously improved. We had light for 6 days at a stretch without blinking. Before they took it and brought it back almost immediately.

The only problem I'm faced with now is that my prepaid meter's units is horribly dropping each day with reckless abandon.

Power supply has seriously improved on Lagos mainland. I don't know for other parts of Nigeria.

Why do we complain of prepaid in this country? Can you compare the amount you spend on petrol generator with your prepaid? We have to change our mentality. Electricity is expensive in every country. It should be stable and we can easily switch off our appliances

mjuvey3:
Since Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in, I've been enjoying 24/7 constant power supply.

If they take it,it won't be up to 5 minutes before they bring it back.

Matter of fact,I'm tired of the light 😂🤣😅

How's the power situation in your area?

switched off your appliances. Oga

CharleyBright:
As a Muslim, why would you not feel okay that all positions can be held by Muslims from top to bottom?
So tomorrow una go tell us the country is a Muslim country all round, and force everyone to become muslims abi?
Will you accept same if all positions is held from top to bottom by christians?

Wicked people trying to subtly islamize the country
Muslim Muslim indeed.

Obviously you lack basic understanding...Go and read again and modify your post

Cooly100:
For you..anything that will keep Nigeria down...you will support it...

I know you support this Tinubu stooge...when he was in FIRS Chairman...he might be recalled to head the agency again...

You won't even blink..

Please Buhari stooge are thieves too. Let's remove all of them.

CharleyBright:
Sounds logical.
It is very obvious that Tinubu is supporting Akpabio for Senate President because Akpabio stepped down for Tinubu at the primaries and paved way for Tinubu's emergence as APC candidate.
That's okay. It is Reciprocity.

But as someone who believe in Seperation of Powers and who is greatly opposed to Executive interference in the Legislative, am caught in between the two scenarios of Tinubu deciding for the Legislative arm who should be the Leader (on one hand), and on the other hand, if Akpabio doesn't become Senate President, Yari would be President. What that would imply is that #1, #2, #3, and #4 positions in the country will all be occupied by Muslims. That will automatically means Muslim dominance in govt and further give credence to the Islamization agenda. This is one thing the Muslims will never accept if the situation was reversed.

But it seems the members of the Senate will hijaack the process and go against Tinubu's wish and gang up to support/vote Yari.
This would further fuel the internal crisis within APC. Already El-Rufai and Ganduje are already nursing grievances against Tinubu over appointments to juicy positions. They might try to incite Northern senators to gang up against Tinubu and ensure Yari emerges as Senate President. And going forward, Yari will become an instrument to oppose Tinubu bills.

I thought we have gone past the religious sentiment? They said we should not talk about Muslim Muslim ticket but focus on capabilities...lol. The first to last position can and should be held by Muslims we don't care.

Hamachi:

They could do virtual too na, COVID helped with virtual. We have virtual interview, assistant and what have you


Some private organization are wicked especially those on the island, with these subsidy removal, people are still working 5 days a week
No salary increment
No palliative
Some HR are from HELL

The focus is on transportation...lol forgetting we spend more to power our homes and businesses with generator.

jmoore:
Clowns!
Emefiele was following orders of Buhari.
Rejoicing the arrest of Emefiele without arresting Buhari shows how politicians use you to play pingpong

He did not follow orders to create multiple exchange rate. He is disaster.

Ezeama400:
Bola is a bloody coward !!!

You are arresting a man that took an instruction from his Boss, if Emefle was acting against the directives of the presidency, they would have stopped him

Godwin didn't act on his own.. Arrest Buhari ist..

Tinubu has started creating enemies across Nigeria starting from SS region..

South south leaders will respond at the proper time ...

Let the drug lord flex muscle small while it lasts..
His unfortunate rodents should not fly to my mention like house flies

He is guilty of majority of the accused offenses. The only one that will not hold is the terrorism charges and funding of unknown Gun men but for the rest the guy is 100% guilty. He is the worst CBN Governor. The CBN need serious clean up.

olisefom:
I would have gone b3fore handover or before election. What exactly was he waiting for?

lol Exactly. He did it but Buhari deceived him.....lol. The guy will probably get a soft landing tho. They will try to recover as much funds that they can get from him. The truth is the guy did poorly. The multiple exchange rate is a making too many millionaires without adding value.

olisefom:
So quick. Highly expected.

Nigerians don't know when to take a bow from public office. What was Emefiele expecting?

He cannot just resign from office immediately after the Election. He is a terrible CBN governor.

Beremx:
I am beginning to like Tinubu.
Emefiele deserves to not only be suspended but thrown into jail. The hardship he caused Nigerians will forever haunt him.

Next is for Tinubu to open the Seme border. If he does this, I will support him wholeheartedly

Did Emefiele cause us more hardship than Buhari? Buhari Emefiele and majority of the ppl in the last administration are a total disaster to Nigeria.

Winters23:


This is why filling stations adjusted immediately, if not they'll be in this same shit.

Although some stations low on stock prior the announcement are still in this same shit as major marketers.

They are only in the business to extort. We have too many players in the downstream simply because of subsidy. They don't have the capacity to be in the business
These are the ones that are always smuggling or selling at extortionate prices.

BossGerald:
Look how its easy for you to type...


Why you never merge your 30k monthly BAT and RAT stipend with Helinues and Co?? You'll rather create multiple moniker here.

The so called petroleum marketers are very fraudulent. They are only in the business because of smuggling or selling at extortionate prices. They have been making noise since about importing fuel since now that they have removed subsidy and allow them to import instead of only NNPCL .....lol. Them don dey shake.

Revolution2022:
Was the 80k fans for his show or other artistes also performed?
I don't know what kind of Burma boy song that can pull much crowd because he is so boring.

Lol we already know who is boring....Just crawl back enter inside your mosquito net abeg.

ednut1:
War to the west is all about money and control. I pity these mumu Ukrainians being used to fight proxy war.

Mumu Ukrainians should just hand over thier country to putin says the mumu Nigerian.

lhordspy:
Just imagine the effrontery, the confidence to start dictating for and threatening a sovereign nation on its dealings.

I mean, just imagine. This thing is getting illogical day by day. Same United state forcing other NATO, EU members,bullying other neutral countries into sending billion dollar worth of weapons to Ukraine, is still the same US threatening others not to rally around Russia. Donald Trump complained on CNN today about how billions of dollar were flushed down the drain by US into this Ukraine war, thereby abandoning Key projects that can even benefit the US citizens. Who the fvck do these guys even think they are? A god?

UK today just announced they are sending Long range weapons to Ukraine. Long range weapons are not for defense but for offensive. Yet the hypocritical west are saying they are only arming Ukraine for their defence. Who then supplied the sophisticated drones they have been using to attack Moscow?

This is what you get when you worship these slave masters. Nigerians who are fond of running to them for validation and writing letters to them to interfere in our internal affairs should learn from this. A mere Ambassador running his mouth. Imagine a nonentity threatening a sovereign state. Cuba today cant even import a bottle of coke because of heavy sanctions from the US. The only crime they commited was allowing Russia build a military base in their country bordering US. A 'sin' which almost warranted US nuking Cuba. The same thing US are supporting Ukraine for against Russia.

Focus on your country and stop ranting from your kitchen...kolo

updatechange:
But he will yab Tinubu for traveling abroad to attend to his health…talk about hypocrisy.
🤣

Is he a politician? Is he your president or senator? Who's responsibility is it to fix the country medical sector? You guys are just stupid

burp18:
balderdash. He raised a very important point but like we all know, you have to be a brainless fellow to be an obid.iot

You are a bigger idiot. What's the valid point? Zombie citizens

Dubetex96:
If e pain u that we are observeing sit at home go to Sambisa shekina

So you are happy to observe sit at home? This one no get work normally...lol. Everyday na sit at home for you...lol

Ever8090:
e pass shame sef but na Nigerians want am like that...you can imagine if Nigerians from the North, south, West and East rise up in protest that will bring Nigerian government on their kneels, running to protect their lives and that of their families, they will give Nigerians a date that will not exceed 2 months to fix Nigerian power issues permanently. But we decide to keep quiet and complain on social media and drinking joints and allow them enjoy 24/7 electricity in their homes while we can't ha single hour in-interrupted power supply

The one they are giving to us we have refused to pay. The ones that have prepared metre chooses to bypass. The problem of the country is the citizens ....I know someone that can buy fuel for 10k without complaining but if that person pays 5k for Electricity bill....lol him go cry say nepa don kill am.

MasterJayJay:
Clowns! The British monarchy is just ceremonial. No executive power

Do they even know amount of money that the monarchy brings into uk economy from tourism?

And some Nigerians that have thousands of kings in their villages are supporting the protesters. Hypocritical clowns!

foolish set of ppl. They have sultan and they support it. They have olu of warri and they scream my king...lol. They are coming to type thrash from thier kitchen

lhordspy:
CNN, BBC, and other propaganda media would have ran 24hrs non-stop news about how 250 people were killed. They will litter all our front-page with fake photo-op crime scene about how children, pregnant women, and dogs are feeling vulnerable and unsafe

US have been going around the globe trying to push democracy on the countries not practicing them, especially in Africa. You wonder why they are quiet about 'voice suppression happening in UK.

Are you in Uk? Do you think the number of ppl opposed to the monarchy are more than those in support of the monarchy? I understand your hate for the west usually make you guys forget your senses at home.

seunny4lif:

I swear, since Police officers have been arresting any anti-monarchy protesters up and down since yesterday because if this is in Iran or any other country, USA will be preaching freedom of speech and human rights

Shut up... You cannot use your protest to obstruct want millions of ppl are in support of.

lhordspy:
Three factors playing out:

1. The King isnt as popular as the Late queen Elizabeth. The people are not use to the change yet and they dont seem like they want to or going to get use to it anytime soon.

2. The Late Princess Diana death is still playing against everyone in the royal family. The Citizens still looking for scapegoats.
The Queen consort, Camillia is always the victim here.

3. I think the citizens are tired of not being able to elect their leader themselves. They want a president not some fancy kingdom with kings and queens.

They wish to vote their leader themselves. They want to be the decider and for that to happen, they need to scrap the monarchy system entirely.

Not very possible with the way things stand.

lol make them come Nigeria come see the one we dey vote since 1999...lol

Okiton:


Mr. Buhari may not know anything about these expenditures and many of it, the cabals behind are the ones looting the money and same cabals have push another imbecileee forward to continue their looting sprees

He is aware. I don't know why you guys like separating Thieves from Thieves

Obinwenite:
How does Akpabio being Ssenate president help you or your immediate family or community or state?….you guys waste a lot of time supporting bad choices.

The same way una praise Lawan, his tenure is over with nothing to write home about but trillions of debt.
Now supporting the same Akpabio that just finished as a minister with nothing to show but sharing Ghana must go bag. He has a case with EFCC for embezzling billions of Naira.

What’s really wrong with una?.

They are bunch of idiots...He bought the senate presidency with funds meant for Niger Delta development

DeLaRue:
That 40% salary increase was shocking. The agreements they are rushing to sign are befuddling.

We need fiscal and monetary tightening to bring our debt profile to a sustainable level, not reckless spending.

Reckless spending = more debt, more debt = increased chance that we default on repayment, default will = crash of the naira to well over N1, 200 to $1. To put things in context, the Egyptian pound lost 50% of its value last year alone.

Naira crash = hyper inflation which will finally turn the economy upside down.

By then, we will be in the clutches of IMF, like Ghana, Sri Lanka, Argentina, Egypt, and Lebanon.

Inflation in Lebanon is over 250%. Bread there costs 50 times as much as it did 3 years ago.

That's the equivalent of buying a N500 loaf of bread for N25,000.

All because they failed to manage their economy properly.

Tinubu needs to declare a debt state of emergency as soon as he gets in and do the following:

1. Temporary ban on salary increases
2. Ban on certain infrastructural projects for 2 years - e.g no new major road construction to be approved. Let's do patching for now
3. Orasanye report or a revised version should be implemented. Many agencies should be abolished or merged
4. Sell off non performing refineries that are still gulping tens of billions annually.


In the mean time:

1. Channel resources into education - elevate their infrastructure, keep agreements made with lecturers, and help our schools produce graduates that can compete on a global level,

2. Increase import duty exponentially on non-essential reckless imports that is destroying the value of the naira. I don't understand why my local supermarket has 4 different types of almond milk. 10 years ago, nobody had heard of almond milk, and we survived.

3. Spend on improving efficiency in public service delivery.

A few years ago, registering a company was complicated and in many cases required bribing CAC staff. Today, the process is as smooth as butter because the entire process has been moved online and no.more bribery. The efficiency gains are massive. This approach should be adopted across all government departments. It will significantly reduce if not eliminate corruption, at very little cost.

4. Pay down our debt.

5. By the end of year 2, start loosening the purse strings again, but more responsibly than the current govt. Paying down the debt significantly will help to stabilise the Naira, and help Mr Tinubu to start investing in priority infrastructure again. New roads, better schools, better hospitals etc

Instead of immediate salary increases, he should consider removing anyone earning N40, 000 or below from paying income tax. This will have less impact on inflation.

Not a single mention of the politicians wasteful payment package. The leaders should be the first to slash their salaries and crazy allowances.

N3TRAL:
If you have passed through a public university in Nigeria and then you think Dr. Ngige isn't making sense , then you should forfeit your degree.

Education in Nigeria is heavily subsidized. Nigeria cannot train you almost free of charge and then you run away to a foreign country when Nigeria lacks sufficient manpower in your field of endeavor. The practice is worse than being unpatriotic. It is wickedness.

Medical doctors spend less than a million naira in tuition in Federal universities to complete their program. In fact, during the NYSC program, most medical students make back the money they spent on their tuition.


Many medical doctors in the foreign countries you wickedly dump Nigeria for spend the first two years of their career paying back student loans. Their salary is high because of the high cost of living in their country which is why they pay an average of 100,000 USD for medical education ( tuition+ others fees).

The government doesn't intend to stop you from migrating. No, they'll be stupid to do that because it's against the tenets of FHRs .
The FG is simply telling you, if Nigeria is the worst country on Earth, go to Canada, US or UK and spend 50,000 USD to acquire medical training and then work for them. If you want to benefit from our subsidy then you must compulsorily serve us for a few couple of years.

---

However, the policy of the FG is not good for the long run because medical consultants, experts and specialists will greatly reduce in Nigerian hospitals as there's no embargo placed against them.

What's the need of having many medical doctors who are not really proficient?

The best practice remains improving the welfare of Medical practitioners and enlightening them of their Hippocratic oath to serve their black brothers and sisters.

---

God Bless Dr Ngige. He's a patriotic Nigerian!

You are a foolish Nigerian. A patriotic Nigerian will slash the amount of money we spend on politicians. A patriotic Nigeria will speak against pension for Ex looters (state Governor) This ppl constantly feeds on the country. Jumping from one position to the other and enjoying tax payers money and yet they don't care about the welfare of doctors. They jump on the next flight to get medical attention in foreign countries and yet they budget so little for health sector. You are big fool for calling Ngige a patriot.

juman:
There are jobs in nigeria.
Look around you, you will see some that are doing wonderfully well.
Not everybody get their money from corruption.
Many get theirs from their sweat.
Open your eyes and learn from others way of doing things.
Hard work is necessary to be successful in your chosen path.

The stats are telling lies...There is security and stable electricity in Nigeria...lol open ur eyes you will see it. Don't mind them

sleek214:
How many people did the fraud Obi removed from poverty when he was Anambra State governor? Among the four leading candidates in the just concluded election, Obi was the least qualified.. in a sane society, Obi won't get up to 5% votes. He had nothing to offer as a governor, he wouldn't have offered anything as a president. Unemployment rate is high because many Nigerians don't think, they are as shallow in their reasoning, just like you.

Lol so for your mind you dey think...kontinue

Invitationn:
Valid points.
Spotting a propaganda campaign isn’t as hard as it seems. The whole idea is to corrupt the truth.

I’ll give you some instances and you be the judge.
We’ve been dealing with the US for decades now.
We have the a huge energy issue.
We have a huge infrastructure issue (roads, railways, airports- MMA in Lagos; the busiest, the gateway to Nigeria is an eyesore).

What did the US do about it? What help did they give?
All they do is threaten us with sanctions (John Kerry threatened GEJ with sanctions because of a bill to legalise homosexualism). Trump paused the delivery of the much needed Tucanos to fight terrorists as sanctioning measures even after we’ve paid in full.

Looking at what the Chinese has done for us in less than a decade- over our nascent relationship with them.
Railways and rail stations , highways, Airport terminals, Port and bridges.
They not only provide the loans (interest cheaper than what’s obtainable in the world bank and IMF) they are also building the infrastructure.

Now, you’d agree with me that I didn’t get these information from the Chinese media: these are facts! We can all see it.

That’s not propaganda.

Who did it for China in 1989? Why are you always looking for someone to do it for you? You have bad leadership and if only those leaders focused on developing the country by now we would have been in same position with China helping other African countries.
