I am not saying the so-called leaders are saints but the masses are also one of the major problems of Nigeria.

I was born and raised in Nigeria so I know what I am talking about, don't pretend as if you don't know how Nigerians behave. Most Nigerians are wicked in nature, I saw pure witchcraft during the cash scarcity.


Even if fuel is reduced to N200per litre today it would still take ages before they comply because of greed/wickedness.

do you have a business or run one? A businessman will always based decision on the forces of demand and supply and on speculation. The current hardship and inflation in Nigeria is govt instigated. So blame them appropriately.

Just recently, you and I witnessed another tsunami in electricity price increment, snf tomorrow you'll blame businesses for increasing prices. For every cost increment in production, the final consumer bears the brunt. This is simple economics.

Zico5:
We are getting there gradually. Dollar is striking but these devilish supermarket owners are inflating for selfish gain. We are truly our enemies in this country.

these people buy diesel to power freezer and run their facility 24/7.

Why were we not complaining this years ago? For how long can the govt coerce businesses into price regulation? Are we not a capitalist state again whr demand and supply influence prices of commodities? I do not own a business, but I'm certain this business owners are not the cause.

President Tinubu single-handedly caused this inflation, he should fix it.

Bahamas95:
Nice one.


Nigerians are the most wicked people on earth, they take advantage of every opportunity to punish others.



"E don cost o" nai we dey always hear for Nigeria, when e cheap traders nor go talk.

so you mean business owners arbitrarily chose to increase prices of their goods? Can we just as a people start thinking right and blame who is meant to be blamed?

Fuel 650, diesel 1300, gas 1300, dollar 1300. Then you guys go about blaming businesses for inflating prices. This is absurdity in its highest form.

Hezzyluv:
As far as I am concerned, China is the world's power.

do China give aid? Let them start giving aid first na, just like the US.

Macdeey:

=N= 96.2 Billion

I rest my case

so Davido get 96bn? Blv dis at your own peril.

IbeOkehie:
The USA is rich because its economy is based on liberal capitalism and free markets. The US government has chosen to subsidizes some things because there's money to pay for it. The USA is one of the richest countries in the world while Nigeria is the Poverty Capital of the World. There's no basis for comparing the two. The State of North Carolina is about the 10th largest GDP in the USA and their 2023 Budget was $30 billion and it ran a budget surplus.

The Federal Budget of Nigeria has not exceeded $40 billion since 1999. The collective TOTAL REVENUE of all federal, state and local governments in Nigeria has been less than $30 billion dollars for at least the past 5 years, probably longer. From that total about 90% has been going to pay INTEREST on the public debt. For at least a decade the government has been borrowing to supplement those revenues, to the point that HALF the budget for 2023 was borrowed money...which was used to pay for everything else, including various subsidies like pilgrimages and N-Power grants and Anchor Borrower Loans.

So Nigeria is BANKRUPT, there's no money to pay ANY subsidy for ANYTHING. In the last 8 years the government solution to this bankruptcy was PRINTING MONEY not backed with any productivity and the result has been massive inflation of prices. Electricity can't be an exception.

When the NIGERIAN PEOPLE learn and demand the implementation of FREE MARKET CAPITALISM, Nigeria will become rich and then the government can afford to pay subsidies. Until then, the people must learn to be realistic in their demands. Or the government can continue printing naira to pay for everything, let's see how far that will go. It appears Nigerians haven't learned their lessons from the past 8 years.

Good Luck to Nigerians

why is Nigeria the poverty capital of the world? What is the disparity between the pay of the minimum wager in USA and its senators compared to that of Nigeria?

I don't know why you people will always look for very primitive alibi to justify why Nigerians must continue to live in perpetual poverty. The senators' wages keep going high in Nigeria, but the citizens must suffer to enjoy tomorrow. Only in Nigeria do we spend billions buying cars for senators all the time, yet whr they are leaving office they go with this cars and other office equipments.

Tayorshd87:
Just to make nigeria better .


Go to overseas u pay more and enjoy what u use .

Nonsense

why are the politicians not suffering to enjoy tomorrow? Una go just wake up dey yàn wetin una like. Did you bother to ask yourself if developed countries went through this excruciating pain to get to whr they are today? Only in Nigeria are we told to suffer today and enjoy tomorrow. Since the structural adjustment programme of Babaginda, tell me anytime Nigerians have enjoyed anything, if not sufferings?

successmatters:
Greedy old man intent on suffering his minions

We warned all of you, they will be using propaganda to report that the economy is getting better but na suffer go kill most Nigerians.

We warned you that this man is much more evil than his predecessor. He has nothing to offer, its just his turn to loot.

Tomorrow some CORNfused elements will be asking me why we the manufacturing sector are not bringing down prices of goods, na urine we dey take power our factories ni?

lol

funshint:
Yoruba egusi is bey!

enjoy it alone ooo.

funshint:
Igbo egusi always looks and tastes boring. Na Yoruba lead for this Egusi thing. The mere sight sef go dey attract you with orishirishi meat inside . Infact Yorubas try for this one.
Ogbono is overhyped!

try travel and see. Which Yoruba egusi? Abegi

Makunahatata:
another sick one...y e dey pepper u like dis we burst ur lie😂

Igbo soup wey even heaven confirm, na Yoruba wan claim. Pls claim ur ewedu and efo, na wetin una fit cook jor. Call dat egusi with respect, Igbos spend a whole lot to prepare it.

Makunahatata:
Yoruba restaurants don't sell egusi?? Are u people foolish or high on something 😂

it's neva their standout menu. It's ewedu first before egusi. Efo and ewedu are your main soups.

Mosh1:
Egusi, Igbo soup?
We like deceiving ourselves in this Country.
Must you claim everything?
People will start believing if we keep on quite about this.
Egusi is Yoruba, even your Igbo dictionary confirmed it.
Pls consult Igbo dictionary and check out for Igbo word for Egusi.
I come in peace.

even Yoruba restaurants don't sell Egusi. The first soup any Igbo restaurant will offer you is Egusi, that alone should tell you whr the ancestral home of the soup is from. Wat is known to the Yorubas is ewedu, gbegiri. Pls lay claim to them.

Tdotbluejays1:
Egusi is a Yorba word and soup. You guys call it elili enini or something similar.

Oya it's from Yoruba, enjoy ur Yoruba egusi.

Makunahatata:
Egusi no b Igbo soup..den dey eat egusi for Ghana, Cameroon, Sierra Leone e.t.c

why u no go dere go chop am? Jealousy

Premiumbuy:
Premium Be Unto You

Still don't understand why Igbo are trying to claim Egusi soup.

egusi is pure Igbo soup sir

ignis:
I would not appreciate a bolt driver marketing plantain chips and groundnut to me on a trip. I'd rather he concentrate and focus on his business. The business of business is business.

We celebrate rubbish in Nigeria and call it innovation.

would have made sense if its free.

See the kind of lawmakers we have. How can this set of people checkmate the excesses of the executive?

Blakjewelry:
Because you produce roadside liquid soap na you are a producer. My business involve dollar so yes some things should be affected and not all locally produce products.

so tell me what is locally produced that should not be affected?

SUPERPACK:
If you buy at 500 and the price falls to 300 will you stop selling snd claim you dont have so you dont sell lower?

sometimes these traders make losses like this too. Dey don't need to tell you. Especially those into perishables. Business is not always about profits. Sometimes dey come with huge losses.

Kevineleven:
They will not come down, let me explain
We are facing a 2 headed hydra,
One is the rising of fuel prices due to the removal of fuel subsidy and the other is Naira depreciation or increase of dollar exchange rate.
The increase of fuel prices is responsible for the rising cost of food items , and dollar to naira exchange rate only affects imported goods.
So the cost of food items will not reduce unless the fuel prices reduces.

God bless you. Most people just talk without giving deeper thought or assessment to what they are talking about. I'm shocked how people are blaming traders for the increase in prices of goods. Dey won't mention the over 300% increase in the price of fuel and dollar. Na traders dem dey blame

SUPERPACK:
But same warehouses hiked food prices they bought when dollar was 1200 when dollar hit 1800, and blamed the dollar for the increase.

you guys should stop arguing just for likes. When you open your shop you do it anyhow, and let's see if you won't close shop in a short time. Business is not charity. If you buy and stocked goods at #500 and in 2 weeks times it's being sold for #800. What will you do? The wise thing to do is sell at #800 just like others so it will be easier to re-stock again. If you sell at #500, how do you buy when u exhaust the little you have?

Pgirigory:
So is it the making of the government or the greedy people

which greedy people? Do you know what economic stability is? We import almost everything. So as dollar keeps dancing upandan, so will prices of goods neva come down. No businessman wants to bear the unnecessary loss accompanied by economic instability.

Blakjewelry:
Nope it's not about dollar rather it is just the Nigerian factor. When I was telling people the hike in price has nothing to do with dollar some fools were arguing silly like they understood what is at play, oya dollar dey trade about 1200 something oya make price come down na.

when you start selling goods or manufacturing you'll say better. For now, this is just your opinion which I think might not be true.

Vinnie2000:
Yesterday evening, My Neighbour bought a Small bread for N1700 and was so sad.

I thought Reno Omokri says we should Hail Tinubu for bringing down the prices of Good, which Suffered effects of Inflation.🤨🤨

The Only Item I know with Reduced price is Indomie HungryMan size.
From N1000 to N900.😒

Please, Which do you know?😕

you still follow Reno Omokri? Chai, sorry.

It's better to listen to Fani Kayode than Reno Omokri.

Rich4god:
In 2 years, grid have collapsed more than 7 times. Yet then never still find solution to the issue.

that 7 times should be for 2014 alone.

AK89:
He built lehgas...

He tamed the Atalantik O-Cean...

he built Lagos that was the capital of Nigeria from 1914-1992. Clowns!

Power should be the president's priority, but no, na fuel subsidy removal.

dreji:
Hunger is more real than Real Madrid

and we are busy as a nation sponsoring rich people to hajj.

wany:
That song is wack

our choices are diverse.

helinues:
Make una dey calm down to read news before commenting.

Are they talking about electric vehicles here?

I think you were hasty in ur response. Vehicle manufacturing is highly power intensive. A country with dilapidated electricity will lag grately in this area.

So he was right afterall.

JooEeL:
Nigerian musicians are not doing very well in their songs and lyrics these days, for like d past 2 years.

But what I observed is that their video editing and overall production , cinematography and directing has reached very high levels.

I have only seen Bnxn & Ruger - Romeo Must Die and Odumodublvck - 100 Million ft. Tiwa Savage.

Will listen to a few of them now.
