Your foolishness is poor.

If you were not daft, you would realise Lagos is Nigeria's commercial centre by a great mile and is the location of most Banks and financial activities the CBN is responsible for.

If you were not daft, you would realise sending staff to work away from home, paying for flights, hotels and per diem for weeks & months is a huge cost, drain on resources and a significant waste of public funds that could have gone into the education system and make you less daft!

I curse the God that put me in the same country as foools like you! E no go better for that God!

so what is NNPC doing in Abuja? Is there oil well in Abuja? This your argument is flawed. If you're trying to decongest an office premises in Abuja, you can decongest it to another state, not Lagos that is choked. CBN can actually make a legislation to mandate banks to build a mini head office in Abuja for close monitoring and inspection. With time everyone will align.

Yankee101:
I can almost guarantee you Lagos is very very congested

Lagos is not congested, it's choked.

blaise26abj:
If they pick one up now , people will say they are wasting resources when they have sparsely populated offices in the state . If the management decides to send some of the staff there , good ! Nigeria saves money instead of acquiring a new building

Nowhere did I imply they have only one building. That particular building is congested . That’s my point .

but Lagos is also congested. How do we intend to develop other states in the federation when we keep sitting govt offices in Lagos. Aside the seat of govt. Other govt parastatals should be sited close to the source of raw materials. That's the only way this argument makes sense.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Between Abuja and Lagos which of them should be decongested?

I wonder my bro.

Ironbull:
Honestly it so annoying turning everything to tribalism. When the Federal capital was moved from Lagos to Abuja then it wasn't tribalism but now just splitting over-populated govt office is now tribalism.

Anyone not please with the move can resign and go to his hometown where only angels lives there.

Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria by landmass, and has this mammoth population. Don't you think the FCT is better as the capital.

More so, no country builds its capital close to the sea, it's for military reason. Abuja is more like the centre of Nigeria.

Edusouls:
I supported and loved joe Biden, not knowing man were devil on suits , one of the most silently wicked USA presidents in history, I wonder at 81years very near to his grave if he leaves today what would he answer to God for aiding a very brutal genocide in 21st century all in the name of fighting hamas? The wickedness and cruelty of man have long surpassed that of the devil long agoo

so what Hamas did in isreal is what? Pantecide.

Both countries must come on a round table to negotiate a way out. But this constant Hamas dropping bomb in Isreal won't stop the war. Take out iron done for instance, what do u think will be the remains of Israel today?

Her only sin was being born and raised in Nigeria. God rest her soul.

nairalanda1:


If you were a businessman, and you were selling yam you bought from farmer at N1500 per tuber, will you sell that same tuber at N200 per tuber to help the poor breathe? To help the masses breathe?

You will not, because your business will die.

Dangote needs to pay salaries(at the rate that his workers would not jakpa), pay taxes, pay for crude at international prices, pay for maintenance costs, etc etc. Expecting him to do all that and then sell fuel at N200 per liter because of the masses is a big joke.

Businesses are not charities. They exist to make profits, and to make more profits. They do not care about the masses, because if they let the masses set their prices, they would crash. If the masses were allowed to set MTN and Airtel prices, they would crash well well.

Hopefully, it would reduce the pressure on dollars, and hopefully this means the cost of transporting fuel falls. But the era of cheap fuel is over. NNPC is even now a private company self.

The funny thing is people will call me oppressor now. Ok. If a business cannot set its prices, how would it make profit for shareholders and workers? Shebi government go pay am? Lol.

if Buhari is the president, will you give this warped analysis?

Biodun556:
If the price of fuel does not decrease then government budget and minimum wage will go up and all of us will adjust to the new pricing

so what exactly is the benefit. This will only make inflation static, reduce the purchasing power of people and make the naira useless. Under full capacity, the price of fuel should be adjusted locally to #300 that's the meaningful thing to do.

kokoA:
If I'm buying petrol for 650naira and I know it's being produced in Nigeria I wouldn't mind.

so what then is the essence of producing it in Nigeria?

A commodity we have in abundance? Will you be happy it was Buhari in power and Nigeria and Dangote refinery is up and running, yet fuel is 650?

dominique:
Melt everything with hot water and use it to wash coloured fabrics

thanks, na liquid for washing machine Henceforth.

jmoore:
I just witnessed this dude blow his nose, use his hands to clean and rub it on his trousers.

Most will rub their hands together as if they are rubbing cream.

Why do most adults hardly go out with a handkerchief?

it's a sin to go out without handkerchief. Any day I step out without one, it's a bad day, and I must get one from guys who hawk on the road.

Faiththatworks:
Kaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.........
Asiwaju is really firing on all cylinders,I doff my heart to Mr Cardoso and the whole Economic Team of the President.
This was one of the comments I made on another thread about the leadership of our Former president and Mr Emi werey.
Despite all the rail guards to forestall any pilfering of resources in the CBN,the former president,baba Buhari was aloof and allowed the CBN governor run riot.
I believe Asiwaju should go the whole hog and go after politically exposed person in the former president tenure who put their hands in the cookie Jar, especially those who profited from the racketeering in the CBN.
Mr President is doing very very very well,this is the first time I have seen a president implement the recommendation of an investigative panel in quick time,many other Former presidents would have form committees to review the panel and eventually push the recommendation of the panel to the shelf to gather dust in the office of Mr Former Attorney-General.
I believe most of these panels and recommendations were used to blackmail political exposed persons that's why most of the recommendation were never implemented.
Pls this is just a speculation oooooo.
Asiwaju should please use this opportunity to revisit the recommendation of the Orosanye panel and the CONFAB recommendation under President Jonathan, I'm sure No one will go against him if he decides to implement it
God bless Nigeria.

when fuel equals #160 per litre I will buy this your sermon.

atom080:
Shut up!
I said I hate transion and big screen...

I bought oppo Reno 8t (6.4 inches screen).. and that was my best decision

wats d difference between transsion and oppo, all are same kind of product.

Crumbian:
Yeah, because the pop 7 (of 2023) better pass Galaxy s7 (of 2016).



Una sha go dey type nonsense. See as una full thread dey give advice. Pop this, pop that.

I pity the op if he follows their advise. Tecno phone of 40k now no go pass 1gig ram. Make d person just dey ready to hang with the fone. Lamentation loading.

TheBTCinvestor:
All these nairaland trolls...how much is 1.5m that someone can't afford to treat himself...poverty has eaten deep into the mind of Nigerians honestly. I had an S21 ultra I got for 900k back in 2022 b4 it broke...oga pray for grace and stop hating okay..1.5m is nothing...the functionality is the same with an A33 just that the S23 is classier and has more advanced camera....see pics of the S pen below to clear ur doubt..I took the pics with my A33

if I've the money for such phone I will buy it. Nothing beats better than your happiness. That a person bought land for 1.5m doesn't mean every 1.5m will be used to buy land. People have their individual need and scale of preference.

Many kept large sums as investment and savings, after death dey don't know what is left of them all. Enjoy your life while you can.

MasterJayJay:
Open a new account and abandon the old ones if the 50 naira charge from 2021 till date will amount to a large sum.

you go manufacture new BVN?

EmperorCaesar:


This is really bad
But then,Naira isnt rolling down an incline plane so it won't continue to go bad for them

Trust Cardoso to make the Naira appreciates again and these guys will have stronger reasons double their productivity


As for the enemy of the states, dem go quote me to explain tire....Obidients I mean

obidients are not your enemies, your real enemies are those who make policies without thinking the real economic implication for all. The masses and businesses are made to suffer, while the political class get billions to buy luxurious cars. What happened to the cars used by the previous legislators? Only in Nigeria government do we see them budget billions every now and them for cars. The average public school will use one bus for 20yrs, that's if they even have one.

Rubyjade:
The money will finish with before setting up
Rent 650k depending on location
He would have Jamb/SSCE class right, one hall is enough
White board and marker?,
There obviously would be demand for
Junior classes, right?
He would have to do partition
Lecturers charge 1k per hour and he would over 15 teachers, that's 15k per month
NEPA bill
Cleaners salary
Repairs and maintenance
General expenses

Income obviously would be the lesson fee, from experience most students don't pay all at once, they pay parts

you're taking it too far. Rome wasn't built in a day. With wat you have up dere, 10m sef won't be enough. Just the way a person will use 500m to build a house, another will build a clean house with 10m. Just start small and grow it.

BGSM:
I hope this ll not encourage a lot of people to be posting nonsense and stupidity in order to gain attention, because this social media is too far from reality. Where is mommy calm down today and others.
Please let be mindful of the type of content that ll be posting online.

graces differ. If dem like post nonsense and ingredients from morning till night, if God no remember u, e no remember u be dat. God mustn't remember us all via dis means. It can be as simple as giving us sound health. We take it for granted, but it's a great deal.

ecolime:
You took this straight out of my mouth.

Na the office lady we need to know. She is the unspoken legend.

God used her for the family so lets meet her.

Funny enough, she might not exist

she might even be doing it without any intention of causing harm. All of them involved did well.

Beremx:
NNPC should have employed her husband instead of giving them free fuel. He needs to upgrade from being a mathematics teacher to something better

but a mathematics teacher isn't a bad job. Let's stop belittling teaching, this is why our schools are decaying. With 1million out of the 5m he can setup a classic tutorial centre to up his income.

nedekid:
Trying to survive should be done within the law. Drive through oyinbo and see whole tarred streets blocked.

do oyinbo have a proper market structure to accommodate both the rich and poor? Do they have a decent car park and a wider street? Ur ansa will solve all these. Leadership is the bane here.

OMBIIGA:
The manner EFCC is going about the issue is appalling. Why can't they formally write Dangote group demanding forex documents
Recall it was an open secret that the FG policy drive for backward integration was conceptualize and design such that access to forex is seamless for industrialist
Let watch and see how it goes.

all des na political gragra. The previous govt made it as a policy to subsidise forex for businesses too important to fail. So I wonder what the drama is for. By this time next month, story don end.

AbuAeesha:
That shouldn't be an excuse to display wares along express,jeopardizing other people's safety by congesting the road.
If a vehicle lost control now,it will crush those traders immediately.
So those displaying their wares along the express are putting their own lifes and the lifes of motorists in danger just because they want to make ends.
Sure,things are quite hards recently,but that shouldn't be an excuse.
I hope you understand?

Sir, chill.

Let's say the traders are very stubborn. But ponder on this. Can they afford to rent a shop? If no, what alternative has the govt provided for them poor traders to sell and fend from? Back in the days we had open kiosks in every market for these traders to sell. Markets are built at far distance from the road. It's your govt and it's official that will build very close to the roads just to make more money. The city plan is designed just to make money and not look beautiful. Don't blame the poor who are trying to survive.

Love800:
Wat abt getting a container?

all what is on the wheelbarrow, can it buy a container? And if at all the container can be afforded, whr will it be placed?

I understand the fact you blame this traders for whatever nuisance they constitute to the roads, but have you asked yourself what other alternative do they have, and what has the society made available to them. In the evening, the same govt officials will go and sell ticket to the traders for selling on those places. See, the fabrics of our society needs reset.

Golan007:
The presidency can do nothing about an erring governor.

You can pholosophise over it, yet it doesn't change the fact.

when the president does well and the economy is vibrant, no one cares about the governors. No matter how effective a governor performs, once the president kills the economy, his effort is futile.

Golan007:
What sanction?

You forget governors enjoy immunity?

Would you have allowed Buhari sanction Ugwuanyi without turning it to a tribal war?

Go and sleep.

the governors are misbehaving because the national leadership is doing worst. The governors have very little policies that affect the citizens, the bulk is on the table of the president. Inflation, fuel, power, security etc. What influence does the governor have in controlling inflation and economic stability?

Kenn55:
Why should you let the president off the hook here? The degradation of Nigeria is primarily the fault of the president. To be fair to Tinubu, he wasn't the one that destroyed it as it started before him but he has contributed to bury it.
The major items that controls the health and viability of the country rests on the FG. The president presides over the monetary and fiscal policies which sets the tone for the economy which affects the states. CBN though independent reports to the president. When naira depreciates due to stupid policies that gives rise to inflation, it is not on the governors.

The president controls the police, army,dss and the entire security architecture etc. Not the governors. When farmers can't farm because of the massacre by terrorists in the middle belt which now leads to higher food prices, the fault is more on the president than governors cos governors don't control the armed forces. I can go on and on.

Unfortunately, our structure is the cause of this deep problems. We copied democracy from the west but applied it the wrong way due to greed. If we practiced true federalism then the governors would have more of the blame. Now they are hiding under the FG cos the FG is too powerful.
In the west like Canada and US, each state or province function like an independent country and in charge of its economy. No sharing of money from FG, it is the state that contributes money to the FG. The resources in each state is used for the state so every state is forced to develop it's own unique economy. In Nigeria, the states are useless cos there is oil money to be shared every month.

I'm not saying the governors are doing well, in fact, they are useless but as per your argument, the president shares the biggest blame in the current situation.

I buy your supposition in totality.

AbuAeesha:
Sorry,I think they are telling those with low IQ to go into crime.
A sensible person should know that he/she shouldn't display wares on the highway

how much is a shop sir? How do u expect someone selling on a wheelbarrow to pay shop rent?

tamdun:
Igbos pls don't come back,stay and enjoy your mansion

they are Nigerians and have the right to live anywhere. If you think otherwise, pls tell the govt to change the constitution.

aljharem:
It is not southern Nigerian. You adopted it !!! Nothing wrong with that.

adopted from who?
