Im sorry I cant help your retarded brain if you cannot work out that the government is still better off by N225/liter. For one thing they have more money than before subsidy removal 2) they dont have to borrow and 3) there is less demand so less overall subsidy and less cross border subsidy

I asked you a simple question and you're here rambling like an animal.

casualobserver:
Subsidy was removed at the time the landing cost was such that the pump price was circa N600. International oil prices have since gone up such that the pump price now should be N800. Somehow or the other the government have found a way to subsidize the difference between N600 and N800 because if they allowed the price to reflect the true market price of N800, you are the same people that are programmed to complain. bear in mind subsidy is now illegal. there is no law backing subsidies on petrol, it expired in June.

Pump price before subsidy removal was N175, government was paying subsidy of N425 (600-175) on every litre of petrol. let us assume they are now subsidizing N200 (800-600) through the back door, the country is still better off N425 (previous subsidy) v N625 (subsidy today if subsidy was never removed v current subsidy (N200) which still leaves N425 available for roads, hospitals education etc that would have been burnt in the exhaust pipes of klandcruisers and lexus jeeps.

its not like subsidy is back and yet they are charging users N600....no!!!! the subsidy from N175-600 that was removed remains removed but due to the rise in oil prices and the reality on the ground, the rise from N600 to N800 is being met by the government one way or another.

Then what was the purpose to remove it in the first place?

Why are u misleading the whole world cos u want to sell your crappy product

I use starlink.. No throttle.. No FUP and truly unlimited. The data cap thing does not even apply to Nigeria and even in US and Canada, it's been scrapped

Stop saying what u don't know

All naija ISPs are all thrash including yours

Bro, do you play games with the starlink? I heard it lags, but i don't know how true

How many people can afford the cost of ftth activation and subscription in abule egba or egbeda. Fiber optic implementation is very expensive. So, most telecoms companies prefer, where they will get many customers within a short period. E.g VI Ikoyi Ikeja and Yaba, those are the areas FTTH is common in Lagos.
Also, the idea of sharing cable can’t work in fiber optic, what they can share are duct,Manhole, set site etc

Fibreone works in ilorin, you can't tell me that people in ilorin of all places have higher purchasing power than the suburban areas in lagos you listed

vannessa7:
And these are the same people calling Tinubu forger, drug lord etc, they lack conscience and human feeling, they are worst than animals, it's better to let them go, they introduce yahoo and many other crime to Nigeria, they are the one that put an end to true federalism for their selfish reason, they made it impossible for Nigeria to divide also for selfish reason which they now regret, they are destroying this country everyday, imagine. I bought a laptop recently from an online vendor who is Yoruba and I had no cause to regret.

Op try and contact the consumer protection agency as advised, if they get away with this they will be more confident to do more and don't buy anything there without being present physically and vigilant.

The father that gave birth to you is worse than an animal.

Gerrard59:
They are shameless men. Their mates in Japan and China built their countries such that these Asian men are not fazed by White women. Japanese and Chinese men are not interested in whether White women like them or not. Rather, it is White women who wish these Asian men show them love.

And yet you're in Japan, why don't you come back and build Africa?

Abagworo:
More like a propaganda Governor. I still wonder why Abians have refused to acknowledge Ikpeazu who actually worked without noise.

Ikpeazu worked in Abia state? This must be a joke

LegendHero:
That bixch Ekwesili will not write a letter summoning Otti to come and explain why he is demolishing houses now.

But if it’s in Lagos, she will start crying like a lunatic on Twitter.

Bitch wey better pass your mother a million times, what did your mom achieve other than raising a fool?

I feel terrible that the mob mentality in Nigeria has obfuscated the true underlying issues that demand attention. In a related incident involving Burna boy where he sought a romantic interest, only to find out she was already with someone else at the venue. When she rebuffed Burna's advances, he flew into a rage and had her boyfriend shot in the club. Shockingly, there was no substantial public outcry, no legal action taken, and no one even hinted at pulling Burna's music from the airwaves. We continued to embrace Burna without reservation.

When Burna's aggressive behavior went largely unaddressed, it sent a message that such actions were tolerable within the industry. This lack of accountability set a dangerous precedent, allowing for a culture of unchecked aggression and intimidation to persist. If the industry had taken a firmer stance against violence and intimidation, it might have discouraged such behavior, potentially altering the course of events that led to Mohbad's untimely death and so here I equally argue that we hold individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of their status or influence within the music industry, but holding them accountable is not the same as having a mob mentality.

Shifting gears, Naira Marley operates a record label, and the artists under his umbrella are bound by contracts. Even the most illustrious stars have encountered conflicts with their record labels, as exemplified by Michael Jackson's scathing remarks about Tony Montana or Sony Music, the entity he was associated with, which he likened to a 'devil'.

Admittedly, Naira Marley and his associates likely had vested interests in Mohbad, whom they had invested in. Undoubtedly, they may have exerted some form of pressure on Mohbad to ensure compliance. Nigerians contend that these tactics may have contributed to Mohbad's untimely demise, and it's on the contention that Naira Marley has been sentenced already. No one is taking a step back to do possible re-assessments, or having the imperative not to subordinate an approach to the situation that uses a fair and impartial perspective. Nigerians forget that jumping to conclusions without comprehensive investigation risks perpetuating a cycle of vengeance and violence, that will potentially lead to even more tragic outcomes. They forget that when you take drugs away from someone having substance issues, their allegations then should be re-examined before using it as a basis for constituting guilt as substance abuse could impact a person's perception and memory, potentially leading to exaggeration or distortion of events. In the case of Mohbad, there is also a recording where what he alleged of Marlian music, he alleged of his wife. Of coz, he is dead and to suggest of his compromised state of mind having led him to misinterpret situations, inadvertently assigning greater significance or intent to actions that may have been far less malevolent might seem impossible to you, but did you not think so when he was alive, that changes in his weight, slurred speeches, slurred movements, allegations that he had withdrawal issues and possibly neglected his important obligations and commitment, had a sense of hopelessness in some of the videos evidencing his state of torment, had worsening mental health conditions, and possible health issues were all related to his substance usage? These were physical signs, psychological signs, behavioural signs, physical health issues, and withdrawal symptoms that are also associated with those now alleging maltreatment from Marlian Music.

Mohbad's passing doesn't preclude us from examining his state of mind especially if done with empathy and a commitment to seeking the truth and avoiding a re-occurrence. and such assessment does not diminish his experiences which is evident in the videos, but how about we admit that to understand the context of such videos is important to making judgments that could have significant consequences. Due process is a cornerstone of any just society and in ours, it appears justice is served in unfairly vilifying individuals.

If you disagree, so why is it not important to consider whether Mohbad's struggle with substance abuse played a significant role in his tragic trajectory, impairing his ability to fulfil his obligations to the Marlian record label? And that this, in turn, compelled Naira Marley's' camp to resort to increasingly forceful tactics. It's worth noting that Sam Larry, who may have one time been the source of Mohbad's drugs, likely exerted similar pressures on Mohbad, to recover the pay for the supply he made to him. This is purely speculative and not an assertion of fact, however, such speculation may be relevant in the context of understanding the video evidence depicting altercations between them. Why would you not think of possible motivations behind the conflicts captured in those videos? and yet make judgments while denying yourself any insight into the power dynamics, dependencies, and tensions that may have been at play. How ridiculous, but you believe instead that NDLEA at the behest of Naira-Marley administered a harmful substance to Mohbad and yet it is propagated without any slight scrutiny. Not a scrutiny at the timeline, which defies all logic because of coz, Mohbad's apprehension occurred during a period when he was known to maintain a cordial and seemingly unproblematic relationship with other members of the music label. Yet we go on, hinging on the notion that his drinks were tampered with as he was made to gulp a liquid substance that looks like water and we buy into it willingly suspending all rational thought and replacing it with an unfounded narrative that serves only to vilify Naira Marley caring not that it is not only implausible, but it defies all reason. Why would anyone resort to such an elaborate and risky scheme, and for what purpose would such an extraordinary lengths serve using an institution designed to combat drug-related issues, as the backdrop for such a clandestine act of poisoning Mohbad? If there were nefarious intentions, there are countless other, far more inconspicuous locations where such an act could have taken place, and easily done, because at the time, Mohbad was good with Marlian associates.

How ridiculous, it's more difficult to think it was Mohbad's lifestyle choices that led to his downfall and much easier to join the mob in thier fervor to lay the blame squarely on Naira Marley, and they do so insufficiently justifiably on his questionable history. That this is the case is a lamentable indictment of an entertainment industry and country that appears to be using Naira Marley as a convenient scapegoat.

The issue demanding attention is the complex web of factors contributing to Mohbad's tragic demise. This includes not only the intimidating tactics from both Naira Marley and Sam Larry, but also Mohbad's own struggles with substance abuse. The larger concern is how these elements intersected and ultimately led to the unfortunate outcome. It's important to recognize the broader systemic problems within the entertainment industry, such as the power dynamics between artists and record labels, and the potential for exploitation or coercion, but it's more important to address the issue of substance abuse, objectification of the female bodies which is glorified in their music.

Additionally, there's a need to address the public's response to such incidents, which has an history of overlooking or downplaying serious misconducts, until there is a fatal outcome.

The tactics of intimidation have taken a concerning turn, now directed towards Naira Marley and Sam Larry. Influential figures like Bella Shmurda, and others that stand to benefit from violence, have gone so far as to call for the lynching of Naira Marley and Sam Larry, perpetuating a culture of violence that threatens to claim even more lives. It's imperative to recognize that in our mourning for Mohbad's tragic passing, our grief may blind us to the fact that allowing such a situation to persist will not lead to a better society free from exploitation, intimidation or harassment. Instead, it is likely to breed further weaponry and violence within our communities.

Furthermore, Mohbad's peers and individuals seeking to establish their presence on social media platforms have inadvertently fostered unrealistic expectations of law enforcement. The police investigation, when conducted impartially, will likely exonerate Naira Marley while uncovering the role that substance abuse played in Mohbad's demise. This truth may be a difficult pill for many to swallow, as there is a strong desire for a scapegoat in Naira Marley. Succumbing to this desire, however, will only perpetuate a cycle of violence that will claim even more lives. It is crucial to approach this situation with a clear and rational perspective, seeking justice without resorting to further harm.

They've surely paid this one, my friend will you shut your mouth right away.

Holluwhakemmy:
How many people are in SE before ? Dey play

Why do you talk like an illiterate always?

Skyview01:
Dont you try to get closer to friends with more money?

parents prefer the child with more money!

Pastors in the church prefers members with more money.

Even the society prefers people with more money.

It is the way of the world and instead of complaining, why don't you go work harder/smarter.

Stop blaming the sisters

Then it means you're nothing without money, you're really scared of loneliness and if money relationships are predicated on money, the only way to mask that loneliness is through money. What happens if the money vanishes, i do not wish you ill luck by the way.

Skyview01:
So it is my fault that ladies are rejecting you because you are broke.
Work on yourself bra and you will see ladies swarming around you.

You make money because of women, and women choose you because you have money?

feyay:
It is absurd and uncalled for , to use such derogatory statement against any fellow human irrespective of his/her affiliate to the power that be.
The admin should be commended for acting up to his responsibility.

So mc oluomo is not a thug? If no, may mc oluomo happen to you

descarado:
That is too small na.

I expected 55%

Nice way of tellingus that you gave your husband bastards

cococandy:
I guess for better or worse is only for her not for you

Abegi! Like women don't leave their broke and poor husbands who can't provide for their needs.

DatNaijaGuy:
I might be wrong, I think this is an unnecessarily power play between these so called super powers. India, a country ravaged with endemic poverty is spending so much for space exploration when millions of Indians can't eat twice a day and with millions of unemployed roaming the streets.
Third World countries need HDI and not this jamborees.

Nigeria doesn't even have the technical knowledge and intellect to do this. Forget about HDI abeg.

Okoroawusa:
I hope they were not the ones that installed that useless "All Eyes on the judiciary" in Benin?

Look at how you're moving like an animal

Shameless men who can't defend their land and heritage, if it's to attack igbo people now their penis will stand up.

Pepperdemisback:

Lol, you haven't made any sense. You're broke shaming people and yet you're poor as shit. Dumbass

Pepperdemisback:
Did you read me well? Her problem is personal not Political! Anybody that has any issue, that's the fight punch they throw at you without finding out the root of your problems.
She has a household business but suffering an emotional breakdown, what brings Politics into her issue?

Now that you've accepted that you're broke, it means that she can also buy your family up to the 15th generation?

Omoawoke:
They no sabi politics at all. Obi won Lagos becaue yoruba voted Obi. They grew wings and began to make noise too early, the Yorubas that voted Peter obi quietly left them to vote APC in Lagos and they lost shamelessly.

With this their attitude, I have Yorubas who voted obi that will never ever vote an Igbo person again in life

Who gives a shit about who you people vote, no be the same economy all of us go dey? How has tinubu benefitted your father and family directly?

Acidosis:
A clear evidence of innate brilliance. Some people were born with a higher retentive capacity.

Every human is only equal under the law, not genetics. Man pass man

majesticguy:
Which Soludo? don't even go there. It's pretty obvious you don't live in Anambra or Awka to be precise or you just want to spite the governor...

Soludo is currently doing great in Anambra state... Almost all the inner and street roads and villages in Awka are being worked on presently. What of the construction going on in Ekwulobia, Onitsha.

Let's not even talk about his human capital development focused on the youth of which my siblings are major beneficiaries to. The recently opened SID, the one youth 2 skill initiative, The 5000 jobs given to youths who are interested in teaching.

Soludo isn't doing anything, the flyover in ekwulobia has been going on for how long?

Myer:
Everyone has a past and their flaws.
If you're looking for an angel, by all means present yourself to rule Nigeria.

I laugh at you, we shall see in 4yrs time. Let's pray for long life

Myer:
He has said it all, he spoke out of passion and truly, he spoke the truth.
His need to tender the apology shows his wisdom.

I believe he will make a very valuable minister. I am super-excited for Nigeria.
Just trying to keep my hopes and expectations in check.
Cos truly I see God's hand in all of this.
God has remembered Nigeria and her glory will be restored soon in Jesus name. Amen.

Only God can repair the level of rot that has been wrought on this country by powers that are beyond us.
We have suffered and by God's Grace we are moving from the Wilderness into our Promised Land in Jesus name. Amen

God has remembered the country by installing a president with no ethical leaning, a known drug pusher? Do not mock God!

jrusky:
That is how God works. Bosun ran his mouth then now God has put him in a position where others too will runs their mouth on him.

Life na turn by turn so Mr Bosun be ready to receive the missiles you threw then being throw back to you so pls develop a very very thick skin to bear it.

You sef run your mouth so that God will lift you up.

pfadom:
What goes around comes around.
Bosun never thought Tinubu and APC he so much hated would someday nominate him as a minister designate without any godfather.

But his hate is duly justified, has Apc led the country well? You guys should be sincere for once

tartar9:
Empirical data based on statistical rigor remains the standard. Anecdotes proves nothing.
A typical sign of humans with lack of critical thought is their penchant towards the latter over the former.

Confusing yourself with words when you could have corrected our ignorance by posting the said data. Where is it?

Mystic216:
The focus is IPOB and Igbos while their lives are being cut short

May the innocent farmers be found in good condition

Both are bad sir.

Omoawoke2:
Far ahead in which indices

Statistics of poor people per state doesn’t can easily be flawed.

What you can use to determine is IGR

And in every indices, southeast is the poorest in the south and second poorest in Nigeria

IGR that doesn't reflect in the quality of life of it's citizens, which kind IGR be that? And also note that most industries and factories in the south west are owned by non-indigene, take Agbara, Ogun state for example.

ecolime:
Fake stats

How did they arrive at these figures?

North West: 92.8%

North Central: 96.2%

Nigeria wey no get database dey dish out figures. All NBS staff should be sacked. They are collecting fat salaries for doing nothing.

North Central has Abuja, Kwara, Benue, Kogi and Nassarawa. You think if 96.2% of the Population there are in poverty, the region won't be in turmoil? Even Sudan and Somalia no get these terrible stats.

Apart from Abuja, those other states are dirt poor, wetin you dey talk sef?
