How many people bought it when it was 55k?

If it was cheap at 55k then, everyone will have it in their house.

You may never be able to buy it because of your poor mindset

who told you people were not buying it more in 2015? If you are poor you think everyone is?

The issue is the percentage of increase which is astronomical. This is over 700% increase fgs!

Reno is a lost sheep. All he cares about is making money online at the expense of this country

He sets up ethnic nationalities against each other while waiting to harvest payments online from the banters

We will remind him and his generation of how their father tore Nigeria apart with his love for money. He doesn't care if Nigeria burns!

The format has always been the same, if you want to work for the North and APC, just do the following

1. Attack and vilify the Ibos
2. Defend all the atrocities of Politicians in the APC
3. Attack Obi everyday
4. Praise the SW and the North while you condemn the rest ethnic groups in Nigeria
5. Say nothing about Herdsmen and Bandits' atrocities
6. Praise Islam as the best Religion and Condemn everything the Christians does in this country

Check all those who works for APC, that has been their JD

The Hooornnyy of Ife has spoken

If by now she don't have a serious man known to the father, then we may conclude that the 'Sabigays' the abroad don capture this one

The Hooornnyy should arrange a man for her if by December she no bring one.

The leading causes of food inflation in the country now is insecurity and rising cost of transportation

what has Tinubu done to solve this problem? Nothing!

Bandits and herdsmen keeps kidnapping farmers for Ransome and yet the FG and army looks away!

instead the army are looking for ESN and IPOB in the bush. They left those making life difficult for Nigerians but keep pursuing those fighting to keep their region free from herdsmen.

By December this year, you all will be buying a paint of Garri for N15,000.

Una never see anything!

Please IDF, help us throw some these bombs into Sambisa forest and aso rock

there are Gazans there too

One gworo chewing Gazan also lives in Daura and he was en ex-president. help us strike him too

Basic123:
Stop calling this Director of community engagement for Atiku/PDP campaign im 2023 a member of NEF.


HE was also sacked for corruption as NHIS boss in 2019.

The media always fail to refer to this man as who he is!

But he said the truth. Is Tinubu not failing?

Are you better off now than where you were in 2014?

The fact that they made Ganduje to announce that means they aren't serious about it

Leaving bandits to roam freely and kill at will was a negotiation point used by the Arewa north to give Tinubu Presidency

Tinubu will rather pay lip service to it or even ignore them just so he can get a second term

Banditry, herdsmen and boko haram is the creation of Northern Muslim Politicians to negotiate power for their benefit. They don't care how many people up north dies from the hands of these guys

APC = Terrorist party

Blame the SW, left to the SE, NC and SS, these guys will be rounded up in minutes and exterminated

The reason the North and Fulanis are making jest of everyone in this country is because the SW is weak and confused

No thanks to Yoruba Muslims!

FiftyFifty:
Did the minister misunderstand the speaker?

By Ibraheem Dooba

(My column of today in the DailyTrust)

A man was kidnapped in Niger State by bandits who demanded a ransom of one million naira. The family scraped and struggled to pay the ransom. When the bandits got the ransom, they increased it to N2 million. Now the family couldn’t pay. What to do?

The man had two daughters with suitors. So they asked the fiancés to bring money to pay the ransom so that the marriage could be done upon the release of the father. The two suitors managed to raise the money and the family paid the bandits. Upon receiving the money, they still killed the father.

Now the suitors wanted marriage without delay or their money back. However, the family needed money to do so. So the widow reached out to the speaker of Niger State Assembly, Abdulmalik Sarkin Daji, for help. He did help them with the marriage and set them up for success.

Then he reasoned that other orphans may need similar assistance. So he set up a committee to investigate identical cases. The committee reported over 270 people who needed the same support. So he mandated the committee to screen the list to only orphans and need basis. The list was reduced to 100 orphans who voluntarily submitted themselves that they wanted marriage.

So the speaker agreed to give each lady N500,000 and the men N50,000 for their dowry. When the Governor of Niger State, Farmer Governor Bago heard about this, he said was going to give the ladies an additional N100,000 for business.

That’s the background. At least that’s how Dr Ibrahim Daurawa told the story as related to him by the speaker himself.

Here’s a summary: The Speaker of Niger State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Abdulmalik Sarkin Daji, with the support of the Governor, the traditional institution and Muslim scholars, is sponsoring the wedding and businesses of 100 orphans.

But out of nowhere, we read, “Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, minister of women affairs, has petitioned the inspector-general of police (IGP) and sought a court injunction to halt the marriage of 100 girls in Niger state.” TheCable reported.

“I want to let the honourable speaker of the house in Niger state know that this is totally unacceptable by Federal Minister Of Women Affairs and by the government,” Kennedy-Ohanenye said.

The Muslim scholars in the North and Niger State in particular see the minister as an interloper and deem her comments as insults to both the northern tradition and the religion of Islam.

The Council of Imams in Niger State issued a one-week ultimatum to retract her comments. Dr Umar Farouk, the secretary of the Niger State Imam Forum, delivered the warning during a press briefing in Minna, the state capital. He stated that the Minister had overstepped her authority and that the Forum would not tolerate her remarks, which they believed could incite a crisis both in the state and nationwide.

The Speaker, himself a barrister, said: “I am highly disappointed in the minister for women's affairs and it is unfortunate that she allowed herself and her office to be misled by social media reports without finding out from me the true situation on the ground concerning this marriage.

"This is politics taken too far by the minister. She should be properly educated on the culture and tradition of the north that girls of marriageable age are not allowed to roam the streets.”

Now Barrister Abdulmalik is refusing to participate in the wedding without withdrawing the financial support.
“If the parents wish to go ahead with the marriage of their daughters, so be it but I have removed my hands,” he said.

As for me, I think the minister made some dangerous assumptions in a bid to earn a name for herself.

First of all, she referenced the Child Rights Act and said that every child is a ward of the state.

“Because there is something called the Child Rights Act and I said it from the onset, that it is no more business as usual. These children must be considered, their future must be considered, the future of the children to come out of their marriage must be considered,” she said.

Here, she assumed that the 100 orphans to be married were children. The more dangerous assumption is that any marriage in the North is done between men and girls. Because logically, if she jumps to the conclusion that these are girls, you must also admit the conclusion that she thinks only girls are married off in the north. She would be surprised that these are women in their late teens or early 20s.

The second assumption is that these “girls” have no education and have no skills.

The Minister said: “As the speaker did not think about empowering these women or sending them to school or giving them some kind of training support financially. The women's affairs have decided to take it up and we are going to educate the children.”

We don’t know the level of their skill set, but the fact that northerners don’t want to send their children to school is stretched by some people to fit their theories. You would be surprised that these orphans have at least graduated from secondary school and have started a trade in which they only need money to scale.

I’ve sponsored some orphaned girls to school because they want to go to school. If the minister really wants to help, we have many girls who want to go to school but can’t afford it. I’ll personally help with the list. They’re in thousands.

So we’re lucky that the Minister is offering to sponsor our children.

The third assumption is that these orphans are being forced into marriage. It’s also the most irrational assumption.

The Speaker said: “She never bothered to get across to me to even find out the motive behind this Humanitarian gesture because I didn't force any girl into marriage, it was the parents of the girls that approached me and solicited for my support and I gladly accepted to assist them.”

A committee screened those who applied for help and the list was reduced from 270 to 100 based on need. They applied! They sought help. And the help was specific: help us get married. What will the Speaker gain by forcing girls to marry other men?

If the minister did intend good, she could have cleared these assumptions by a simple request to the Speaker asking for the profiles of the ladies. The profiles don’t need to be detailed. Indeed, only three questions are enough: age or date of birth, level of education and employment status. Parental approval can also be added.

I’m sure the screening committee already has this information and could’ve emailed it to the Minister within minutes. Indeed, none of the “girls” is younger than 18, according to Dr Umar who has the list of all the ladies.

But in a bid to earn a name, she chose to pick a fight, a fight that she can’t win. More importantly, she’s causing needless problems for her principal among the people who still have doubts about the intentions of the presidency.

This woman has become the reactive minister. The first time I saw her was during the Lead British School bullying episode. Now, this. What’s she done that’s proactive? The Speaker said that she hasn't visited even one IDP camp in Niger State where these vulnerable women live.

In sum, the speaker is a good guy who wants to help his people. I know because we’re neighbours. We just finished planting trees together. He sponsored the tree planting. That’s the kind of guy he is.

Your submission is taken, however we should understand that those families and women opted for marriage because that's what they have been condition to believe as a way out. The speaker should have advised the families better and offer them better alternatives

Education and skill acquisitions first, then marriage later. That's how it should be

by the way, what has the speaker and his team of assembly members done to see that banditry is halted in Niger State? Have they called on Tinubu to do his work by securing the state? Why are they silent on solving the security problem but focuses on managing the symptom?

How may marriages of orphans are they looking to organize in the next 5 years? Why not solve the problem of insecurity and let the people live to take care of their children?

Is Nigeria cursed? who are these bandits? why are they left to kill and kidnap at will without commensurate effort from the security agencies to stop them? who is financing banditry all over Nigeria? Isn't it same Imams and Fulanis in the corridor of power today?

They always turn everything to religious issue. The minister only said do the right thing and all the Imams ganged up against her shouting Religion. Isn't the North Cursed like this?

No one is changing the girls' religion, we are only seeking to better their lives. Does Islam in Nigeria hate empowerment? if not that the Saudis and the Qataris are rich and doing well, one would have thought that Islam is synonymous with poverty and illiteracy.

Empower the girls first, they can marry whoever they wish in the future. That a girl is 18 does not mean she should rush to marry.

The most painful thing is that you won't see Muslim women rise up to defend their own, Islam hates women and the women that practices it are without rights and privileges.

btw, when will the Niger State Imams and the emir of kotangora issue a fatwa against bandits and kidnappers? are they in love with terrorists and bandits and evil?

More of this than religious teachings for now.

Especially for those up north, those guys think sex, religion, orphan's pu**y and terrorism.

In the case of Rivers, the grass will benefit when the two elephants continue fighting

once they reconcile, otilo...

State Treasury will be shared between Abuja and the Government house

OboOlora:
They should use the opportunity to open the head and add some brain, he will need that more than the artificial hair.
Even if na fish brain lol

You wey get brain, what have you achieved more than him?

You dey advise a Millionaire just because you get data

Pay for am now make we leave am

Edzy:
Your hate for the north will never allow you to be just to them. What has this minister done in anyway to better the lot of million of women/girls who's husband's, parent have been killed by bandits. Go to Maiduguri and see what is happening in refugee camps, with a plate of rice, one can have his way on this women because the so called women affairs minister don't even know this people exist. The minister should know that the north will never choose prostitution over marriage.

To you it is all about reducing prostitution than empowering the young girls. Go online on 'X' and see how your so called young girls are prostituting despite being Muslims.

You talked about banditry and children made orphan by it, have you ever wondered why 99% of bandits are Muslims? What have your Muslim elders done to reduce the recruitment of young Northen Muslim boys into banditry and terrorism?

A religion that encourages terrorism and banditry but shuns prostitution and alcohol is just plain hypocrite in nature.

Hadone:
Atleast he cared for this girls more than the dubious minister. Many innocent young girls are into prostitution, did the minister wrote IGP about it? Had it been this girls are also into prostitution, the dubious minister will not raise alarm. We're now in a society and situation where some people value prostitution beyond marriage. Nobody will marry them off due to orphanage situation they found themselves. The Speaker now took a bold step to shoulder the responsibility of their deceased parents, but some one who don't even care for them is now trying to frustrate his efforts

Oga, try to dey reason well now?

Is marriage the only way of helping a young girl? Why can't the speaker send them to school or train them on a skill set?

You guys in the other religion thinks nothing other than marriage and sex. Like Moh like his followers!

TheBillyonaire:
But his ex-wife was fuccking men and giving birth to another man's child while married to him. I hope he does not feel he is a real man.

That's why he is advising you na! He has learnt from his mistake

btw, your wife can carry belle for another man without you knowing she has a bestie.

If she says she is Nigerian, who am I to argue?

btw, who suggested that' Edidiong' name? you wan make she vex say she no be Nigerian again?

I love their simple way of dressing, man and wife dresses simply

It is only Africans that dress to impress those who no send them. Colonial mentality!!!

Chicagograduate:
So why is NNPC importing fuel when we have local refineries?Give them licences to operate legally.

I tire O!

Even the army, when will they uncover where killer fulanis are hidding in Nigerian bushes nationwide?

Isn't Nigerian leaders cursed?

Build refineries, No

Repair exiting ones so it start working, No

give licenses to individuals to build, No

Even the ones that built, they want to sell at international market rate to Nigerians, aka Dangote

Allow Niger Delta boys refine these crudes and sell to the Nigerian market at local rates, No

Is Tinubu and his co brainless former Presidents not cursed?

Women are manipulative bro, don't be a weak man.

Provided you have taken care of the needs of the home and have also set something aside for savings, you are free to spend your money the way you want. You may also find her something from it since she is your spouse

As per the tithing issue, its your private matter, tithe if you want and don't let your wife decide for you.

RoxyBrownAutos:
There is more to this than media report.The previous government said they used the fund for road construction after the contractor said he cannot handle airports projects.If actually the fund was used for road construction,then the present government should just forget about the matter and move ahead.

Clap for yourself, abi you follow chop the money?

where are the roads?

why pay money to someone that didn't apply for anything and then later ask him to payback the money so that you can divert it to building roads? Why is there no record of diversion of fund to build road before now?

EFCC should carry Ikpeazu and lock him up!

Give the first salary to your parents, collect double the amount from your boyfriend to survive

smart move

Leave her alone for now

Just be ready to join her in prayers or escort her to Redeemed Camp or shiloh by the time she clocks 40years and unmarried

I don't like Tinubu and I didn't vote for him

But I think he has done well in probing some of the past Buhari ministers and appointees

I will vote for him in 2027 if he can probe Buhari and send him to jail.

Buhari is a bigot, nepotist, corrupt and a Terrorism sponsor!

I am a Christian but there is no indices or record that shows that those who paid first fruits to a church are doing better than those who didn't

same for tithe.

Give to God bountifully as the spirit leads but don't be scammed by anyone

dreamworld:

the same pucccy small small boys and her suger daddy has been utilising

Every man pays a price to b**ng a pussy, whether you dey use only indomie and egg o! or another person do introduction just to eat the couchie o! all na price

Even the one you marry put for house, you keep paying a price just to browse the website!

Difference between as*awo and wife and girlfriend is not too much, you pay something to chop any of them.

sad but true!

Make dem kuku sell am for iron condemn aboki people

enough of this madness!

jail breaks in Nigeria are pre-planned stunts with the FG acting as directors

One common reason for these jail breaks is to free boko haram inmates in the guise of jailbreaks.

Its all a negotiation tool for the Federal government.
