This Emefiele na certified thief!

media trial no dey tire u? Stole this, stole that.... Unless the court certifies this, we are just swimming.

Do I care about Emefiele? No, but we can't honestly fight corruption this way. Same tactics Buhari adopted that failed woefully.

Malroux:
You will never end well for destroying Nigeria beyond redemption.

Oga try chill. Buhari dint inflict this level of poverty on Nigerians as the present govt.

being:
In case u don't know, he is d direct cause of the present distress!!!! And he managed to keep d damage caused by taking loans upon loans to fulfill obligations... Tinubu simply reduced a bit the loan taking but then we have to pay it back and Tinubu himself has not figured a way out of the economic destruction caused by buhari

excuses upon excuses. Buhari borrowed heaven and earth. In less than one year into office, Tinubu has borrowed loans, so what are we talking about. I know for sure you won't say this if Buhari was the one inflicting this manner of hardship on Nigerians.

Buhari was both clueless and heartless..

He should easily go down as the worst president ever.

for now, he's a but better than the present. The hunger is too much.

Okay, so a landlord should rent his room to the nigerian at N10 a month.

The market people should sell a bag of rice to him ...A 50 kg bag...at N20 to him

The school should charge fees of N5 a year....

The hospital should charge fees of N10 for admission, and N5 for consultation

And NEPA should charge N1 a month for power

And petrol should be sold at N2 per 50 liters to the man


Because he earns minninum wage.


How do the suppliers of the above pay their suppliers, taxes, workers, etc.


But it does not matter to you ,

But when you run your business, you won;t charge that low.

Nice talking with you.

you said Nigerians don't pay cost reflective Tarrif, hence my discuss. Now you're getting it much better. The minimum wager sends his/her kid to public school, lives in a very low income home just to be at par with his earnings. All over the world, the price of commodities go up as the purchasing power of the people increases. In Nigeria it's a departure. The more the poverty increases, the more the price of commodities.

I'm not saying businesses shouldn't make profit, but profit making shouldn't be to kill the citizens. This is why I'm fully against fuel subsidy removal. Today, you and I know the implication, except you're trying to deny the reality.

nairalanda1:
So people earning minimum wage cannot afford a big tin of milk sold at N100 per tin.?

Your maths is off.

You are so invested in opposing me, that you have made it seem a nigerian earning minimum wage would consider a large tin of milk sold at N100 a tin too expensive!

That's why it is too difficult to debate you guys. All you want to do is call me wrong. You don't want to engage my thought because you know I am right.

who told you a Nigerian earning minimum wage buys tin milk? Come to reality bros. And who even told you a tin of milk is #100 na which type of Nigeria you dey?

From the same 30k u expect him to buy tin milk #300, pay rent, feed, pay school fees, medical and health related wàhálà, then the nepa bill which averages 5k for the average minimum wage earner is still not enough you want it to be increased for business owners to make profit. Do you want to impoverish Nigerians the more?

Do I still need to remind you that fuel is #600, gas #900, diesel #1100. Which part of Nigeria are you living sir?

nairalanda1:
All I say is simple. Run a business as it should be run, and it would make the profit to do the things you want it to do.

Minninum wage does not come into it. If you were running a business selling milk, would you sell it at N100 a 1500mg tin because Nigerians are earning minninum wage of N30000, and you want to help?

Oga, think.......think!

and who will buy the produce? The same people earning minimum wage. Àbi how u wan con do am?

nairalanda1:
So, if you were running a business, you would charge below the price you bought it from the wholesaler, because everyone is earning minimum wage?

How would you make enough profit to see returns on investment, pay your workers, pay taxes, pay yourself, expand your business, etc, etc.

Business does not care about how much you earn in this world. It is either you can pay, or you can't.

Or maybe you want government to do as they do in Europe and tax everyone between 40-50% of their income.

Forget mininum wage, abeg. A UK worker earning mininum wage cannot live in a 10 bedroom house.

"a UK worker earning minimum wage cannot live in 10 bedroom house." Who lives in a 10 bedroom house if not a multimillionaire or billionaire? The UK minimum wager can live in a comfortable apartment, well furnished and with all amenities can the Nigerian minimum wager even pay for a dilapidated one room apartment?

Govt privatised phcn to political allies who know little or nothing about power generation business. This is the main issue. They want to reap without investing. The average transformer in Nigeria is over 10yrs. They won't replace any, but want to charge exorbitant bills.

You are all about Nigerians paying more, you're not after the govt officials reducing their profligacy. Nigerian legislators earn as high as the UK legislators if not more, but the Nigerian worker earns way lesser than the UK lowest worker. This should be ur major concern.

nairalanda1:
That's the fact, and I am not lying.

Power supply is divided into bands, Band A-d. Band A gets 18-20 hours of supply, Band D gets less than 6 hours...and Band A pays higher per kwh than Band B and so forth

And yes, we don't pay cost reflective tarrif. That's why government is paying subsides to the power sector up till date.

what is our minimum wage? How do you expect people earning little or nothing pay this cost reflective Tarrif?

The least worker in UK earn £10.42 per hour. That's about #10, 000. If he works 5hrs per day, he earns £50 which is about #50, 000 per day. In 20 working days, dats about #1,000, 000.

Electricity on average is £60 per month. So compare notes sir and see that Nigerians are even paying more.

How can I earn #30, 000 per month and you expect me to pay cost reflective tariff? Àbi na wetin be dat ur grammar again.

nairalanda1:
Ideally, it is the job of the local DISCO, not the job of PHCN. PHCN does not exist. Discos and gencos and TCN have replaced it.

But as to why consumers contribute...this one is easy.


Nigerians are not paying cost reflective tarrifs for electricity. Additionally, over 30% of us do not pay for the power we use.(If you think I am lying...google for the PwC report Solving the Liquidity crunch in the power sector).

As a result, your local DISCO is owing money, and at least 3 of them have been taken over by the banks. Up till today...many of our DISCOS have not broken even. THREE of them, and I mean three of them, have been taken over by their creditors, one has been taken over defacto by the government.

Why...because Nigerians do not want to pay their power bills at market price. We think we must have power for free.


Meanwhile, GSM companies, if the antenna spoil, dem go replace am. Your local provision store owner, if he runs out of milk today, he will replace it within a few hours, if not tomorrow latest....because they are allowed to do something the power sector is not allowed to do. Sell at market price.


This is the result of not letting DISCO set prices.....you will be asked to contribute for your generator.


I went to a private school for primary school, and then for secondary school, na government school I go. My school fees in the primary school were at one point three times what I eventually was paying in the government secondary school I went to....yet in the primary school, in over 6 years of being there it was two times I bought exercise book for myself...the second time, because the supplier was late,and I was advised to buy a book...anyway, normal service was resumed in a few days.

When I entered secondary school, I was paying cheap school fees. Guess what......in my six years there I was buying all my exercise books and stationeries and textbooks while there. Something that in my private primary school..they were issuing us textbook.



Let us all pay a cost reflective tarrif.......and you will see your disco provide you with high quality transformer that would last 300 years. Not this one where we pretend power is cheap, and where in some areas half the population thinks it is free of charge. Ok o.

so all the houses in Nigeria with prepaid meters are not paying cost reflective Tarrif? Make una dey play.

ceejayluv:
Govt has built some low cost housing estates but they End up being hijacked and sold by "cabals" in govt.

then they dint build anything.

adisacool:
Why should they not be blamed
Building materials you said
Is the house newly built or was there a major maintenance that require extra money
We all need to stop blaming the government rather than we punishing ourselves.

I blame the govt. Housing shouldn't be in the hands of private sector alone, hence it's subject to abuse. Whr are the govt estates?

coputa:
The rule is that stay in a house that your three months salary can pay the annual rent.

Things will never get better,cut your cloth according to your size.

this is even too much. Won't you feed, cloth and meet other exigencies, yet save for the unpredictable?

Connoisseur:
I had to look at your profile first.

Well, you are right🤷

nice profile name.

All this PR overdrive will not alter the dude's eternal fate. He is reaping what he sowed while he stayed in this world. You folks can throw all forms of defence around, it's going to change nothing. Always love this Scripture.

Revelation 20:12 KJV
"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

are you there with him to know whr he's presently? Nawao

udemzyudex:
If they can make calls then they can be track, though according to what I've read, they tend to move from one location to another making it difficult to pin point the exact location they could be.

a serious country fighting crime knows what to do. This is simple intelligence. Once a victim is kidnaped, it's normal these people will want to get in touch with the families. What happened to call tapping of all involved?

Akwamkpuruamu:
And those ones can't be tracked with Google earth?

God bless you. Everything Nigeria is just upside down. We make everything seem so difficult. In 21st century, catching a kidnapper is as easy as ABC for a serious country.

TimeManager:
It does not work, my friend. Those bandits make use of their victims' phones to make calls to their families.

-kiss the truth!

if call can go through in the forest whr the victims are kept, what is the essence of GPS? So they can't track a simple call location? Why are we now budgeting billions annually for the police and its infrastructure? Nigeria is just a pity country.

everything is not about criticism. In as much Buhari failed, but the NIN policy to sim card was a good policy if well utilised. Pantami will not do the work of the police.

Bobloco:

bụt he's very right. He cannot do his job and still do that of the police. NIN of well utilize will crime in the bud, at least if not immediately, but in the long run.

Ukraine and republic of Korea are not same. One is a friendly nation while the other is an ally. Different scenarios will play out in case of war.

you're spot on. America has no military installations in Ukraine, but av military Bases in South Korea. Dat Korean warmonger should better calm down.

dammywapes:
is it more hot than qatar ?

yes, it was hotter than Qatar

dammywapes:
What i noticed from the match yesterday is that this guys does not put in 100% shift like they do for their clubs they just want to exist the tournament and go back to their different clubs except for iwobi.

bros, that weather was too hot. And how coach lacked tactics.

sleekender:
I dey live at Abidjan for AFCON & this match.

The Heat & Humidity is/was unbearable for me wey come from 9ja.

The people wey dey play for Europe no fit think well inside that heat.

Na wetin dey affect all the big teams oo. Na local players that are used to the humidity that would excel & adapt easily.

Don't compare to Saudi or Qatar - those guys put airconditioning for stadium and play mostly at night.

Try playing football at 30°C with Kano 70% humidity - na your body go tell you.

Too bad if you are used to European 4°C summer weather with 10% humidity

you're very correct. I still don't know why CAF won't consider players first in their decision. Who plays football under 32"? This tournament should be played at night to accommodate players.

robosky02:
It was a good game

But the truth is JP did not read the match well


The EQG team had a game plan to seat back and hit Nigeria on the counter


And there defense was shocked so can penetrate


In such a game as a coach direct play will not work

Because Nigeria was playing a direct ball making Osimhen the sole focus of our play. Of course the EQG will ensure they're all on him



What to coach should have done is to split thier defense by using more of the wings to drew them out.

And also use more strike option with at least two strikers.

He left it too late before bringing in wingers Chukweze..
And the striker at barely 3 minutes to go



Jose Peseiro is still a learner

d guy ni sabi. Tactically empty.

thinkmoney:
People only blame coaches but fail to admit that we have average players

a good coach turns average players into super players. This is why he's being paid. Those boys gave their best, but the coach was ineffective. No tactics, nothing.
