NwekeUG:
A referee identified as Mustapha Bello was killed after being struck by lightning during a friendly football match in Madalla town, Niger State, IGBERETV reports.

Mustapha Bello, member of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFA) who was popularly known as Mustafa Coach 02 among football fans, met his tragic end on Tuesday evening, June 13, 2023, during the match played in the community’s primary and secondary schools’ field.

The match in which Suleja and Madalla youths participated, was on half time break around 5:20 pm when the incident happened.

“It was raining and all the footballers along with their fans were taken refuge inside the school’s classrooms. The referee along with his assistant (line man) rushed back to the field, demanding the players to join them,” an witness explained.

"They were only at the centre of the pitch when the thunder struck. Two of them were rushed to a hospital, where the referee was confirmed dead on arrival while his assistant was revived.”

A family member of the deceased identified as Ibrahim, said Ibrahim was buried Wednesday morning in Suleja town where he lived.

Do you watch news…its even longer than this in US during a standoff to prevent death. if it’s due to lack of response, if no one calls police on time, they can’t show up by magic.

CHIOMAEZEH:
Na wah... They were held hostage for 30mins...whay was the police doing?

While I No get time to explain everything…I will try. There is an Importer-Exporter window….those exporting will get dollars and can sell to those that want to import say raw materials. Limits to zero means no limit and cessation of rebate means elimination which was set up under Emefiele to provide subsidy for people to remit dollars because no one wanted to do that at CBN rate. With both rates uniform, everyone can smile…medical and school fees must be processed as usual….I guess cos they are considered emergencies.

Rate will be based on previous day typical of stocks so if $1 ends N680, it will start the next day at that rate …weighted average means if you have $1 = N680, N682 and N687…..It will begin next day at (680 + 682 + 687) / 3 = N683. This is meant to uniform the rate daily across the board

By using funds from his other companies....its not diversification. Do you know how much cements he has sold since Refinery started? You can then ask...if he is making so much money, why borrow to begin with? Borrowing can be made for timely task and repayment can occur over many months and years...you don't want the uncertainty of profits from other ventures to delay implementation or expansion. You can learn a thing or two from Dangote and Rich people.

melonsgroup:
How can somebody borrow billions of dollars to build a refinery and paid back 70% of the same money when the refinery is yet to produce a single drop of petrol ?

Hmmm let's wait before conspiracy starts

Frezhkid10:
The people getting the dollar at the official rate..are the really using the dollar to import fuel or they are round tripping it??..
Just so you know it’s easier for me to round trip the dollar and make cool cash than to follow the route of stress to import fuel and still the same profit or less than round tripping..

Diaspora will soon start sending in dollars through the banks. Lots of money laundering going on backdoor.

Naija will pay Naira into accounts, same will save dollars equivalent in US banks.. buy at Emefiele rate and transact to desperate people for more...lots of scams

First of all, i am grateful for this forum in getting and hiring a good farm manager.
My former manager frustrated me and i ran at loss last year but so far so good, the person i hired on nairaland has been faithful, loyal and hard working.

Buhari could have removed it...but APC had an election to win. It would have been a bad move. The best time to do it is at the Beginning of any administration.

- Year 1 - Remove subsidy, deal with the issues
- Year 2 - People start seeing the benefits of removal of subsidies...more funds to States, LGAs and more infrastructures. People will still be complaining.
- Year 3 - Stabilization and reduction in price of fuel, foods, excess product, more forex and eyes on the prize.
- Year 4 - Planning for Election and continuation ---Everyone is excited about the bigger project plans and the way forward.

If you wait too long and get to stabilization, you might not be able to usher people into bigger plans and projects before next election.

EKONGKING:
All this unnecessary trouble for Tinubu and Nigeria would not have happened had Buhari mustered a quarter of tinubu courage .

It is important to note that this is my own opinion, and you are free to dispute this.

Obasanjo: Obj was a new civilian President. He was saddled with trying to unite the country and recover the country's loots from Abacha years. That was his priority in addition to recruiting capable hands to manage the economy...an area I do not see him as an expert in. Obasanjo was mostly hands-off allowing experts to do their job, and the return to democracy was on his side. Investors came in with high hopes, and countries forgave us our debts. Removing subsidy was not a priority at all.

Jonathan: GEJ was an accidental President. Yar'Adua was supposed to rule Nigeria after Obj for 8 years. It is very possible that there was an alliance to ensure power shifted to the North. Everyone including Atiku worked against Obj's 3rd term agenda. Power was meant to be shifted to the North. Yar'Adua died and it became impossible to impose a new leader without a coup, so the accidental President became the President. All throughout GEJ, most of the opposition to his governance were not really about reason or whether positions taken were good or bad governance...it was simply to force him to resign so power could shift to the North. Maybe he should have called a special election, but he did not. He could not remove subsidy because he was barely trying to hold on to power.

2023 Election: Obi wanted subsidy gone, Atiku wanted subsidy gone, Tinubu wanted subsidy gone. If Obi had won, he would have been saddled with trying to reconcile with the North. Protests would be ongoing in the country especially in the North where they have a low trust in Obi that it might be an agenda to make life difficult for them. Atiku would have faced a similar problem with the South. Southern Gov like Makinde and Wike worked against him. They would have called the removal of subsidy a punishment of sort, and trying to unite the country would have prevented subsidy or force him to reverse. That would have delayed subsidy removal.

Tinubu: He was clear too that subsidy had to be removed. He released a manifesto, spoke to stakeholders, aware that subsidy removal would help Dangote Refinery unless we continue to pay subsidy to Dangote which would have created a major issue...and most importantly Tinubu had the support of the Northerners and Southerners. Removing subsidy is HARD, but the reason the country is not collapsing is because there is enough trust that this is not targeted or against some over others. Now, everyone is busy discussing solutions, what they should do moving forward, or what they should have done. Labour Unions in the South might be hardliners, but they are dealing with a President from the South. They all have people that can speak to them. The South do not want anyone to destabilize this administration, and the North voted overwhelmingly for it as well. This is the reason Tinubu was able to remove the Subsidy. He is JAGABAN, but this was more than just a matter of mandate. This is purely about Trust...this is what Nigeria needs, and this is why some of us supported him. A President trusted by ALL (mostly ALL)

By borrowing? Peter Obi no speak on palliatives during Covid and Naira design…he asked for patience. These guys wan scam us now lol

ManWater:
This & other palliative measures should have been put in place before subsidy removal.
A case of extracting a rotten tooth without anaesthetic.

This is how you know the unpatriotic Nigerians. Why is importation the first thing they want to do instead of patronizing local refinery…Dangote while pushing for profits to be used to repair other refineries. I won’t grant importation license as President..and spend forex. These folks only think of themselves…they will start importing lower standard petrol to crash the price, affect Dangote and damage machineries and vehicles. As a govt, even if I do short term license, testing the grade of petrol will be crucial.

I agree evidence would have buried him but you also agreed he didn’t know his rights and admitted all these on camera when he should have demanded a lawyer. They could have at least tried …computer was hacked or some else used my computer or steel clemency and plea..now he do add lying on top. Gone for Masters….went to jail plus deportation

SKIBiNSKI:
Still wouldn't have help him, lawyers must follow the rule of law. If the evidence they have is too much against him, yes,lawyer may advice him but may not keep him outta jail. He admitted everything on camera. Yes, they also took advantage of his lack of knowledge of his rights, but then again he put himself in that position by lusting after underage girls. He should carry the cross.

SOCIAL MEDIA SENATOR...El Rufai isnt gunning for a position. He wanted to go back to school, and Tinubu told him not to. I see someone like El Rufai and Fashola as Special Advisors to the President not Ministers or SGF at all

Lawyer would have at least demanded to see what they have and then advice him not to further incriminate himself. All those lies would not help him because they made him look like a liar on top of whatever he is going through now. Some people are not destined to travel abroad...and this is what happens when they do. Out of all the people talking to underage, na him be the scapegoat...oga oo

SKIBiNSKI:
Errr.. it would not have made any difference if he demanded for a lawyer, as you know already they could not have turned up at his doorstep if they didn't have a good evidence against him. Besides, does he look like he has a lawyer? Or could even afford a UK lawyer? Good riddance, i agree. By the time he gets outta this mess he will regret ever setting foot in N. Ireland.

Before you travel, study…he should have requested a lawyer. he has incriminated himself with all those lies not knowing they have all evidences including warrant to get all info from telecommunication company. Good riddance…better to have all these child molesters in Uk where they can be caught anyways

Three months after arriving in the UK, Nigerian student arrested for allegedly attempting to date children

A Nigerian man identified as Cyril Kenneth has been arrested by the police after being accused of dating minors in Belfast, UK.

According to a video shared by warriors of children, Kenneth who arrived in February for his masters degree, was arrested after multiple children between the ages of 14 and 15 reported him with evidence of him grooming and sexually harassing them.

In the text messages he had with some of the victims, Kenneth sent his unsolicited indecent pictures, asked some of them for their house addresses, invited one of them to his house for sex, amongst other disturbing messages.

The suspect, however, confessed to the crime and blamed it on temptation from the devil. He said he contacted the kids because he needed friends as he was new to the country. He was subsequently handed over to the police for further investigation and possible prosecution(instablog)

I agree that having a solar farm to power the vehicles make sense...but a backup is needed which can be gas powered from Dangote Refinery.

Lanrelagboi:
Note: These two are the pilot phase, there are plans to put 1,200 of these buses to use and also develop an assembly line for their production.

This will also work well in this era of subsidy removal

Personally, I will advise the Lagos State Government to look towards Solar systems for the charging of these buses. It will increase the whole point

N100,000 is the ideal minimum wage. That will be the wage of those without degrees hired to work. That will allow the private sector opportunity to match such wages. Keep in mind.. it is the minimum. BREAKDOWN WILL LOOK LIKE THIS

Here's an example list of expenses in Nigeria, assuming a hypothetical minimum wage of 100,000 Naira per month:

Accommodation: 20,000 Naira
Utilities (electricity, water, gas): 5,000 Naira (No one pays for Water and you do not need more than this for Gas)
Transportation (commute, fuel, maintenance): 10,000 Naira (Mass Bus Transportation can be provided or workers should live close to work)
Food and groceries: 20,000 Naira
Healthcare (insurance, medications): 5,000 Naira
Education (tuition, books, stationery): 10,000 Naira* (Not compulsory)
Communication (mobile phone, internet): 5,000 Naira
Clothing and personal care: 10,000 Naira
Savings and investments: 10,000 Naira - Without Education, you save N20,000
Miscellaneous expenses (entertainment, emergencies): 5,000 Naira - You have healthcare...

N200k is crazy...Govt needs to pay down debt, and invest in infrastructures. You start this high...all the subsidy savings will go into paying salaries. If Married, double all my estimate and it is more than enough as MINIMUM WAGE...Single (N250k rent) - Married (N500k - even too excessive for the lowest govt employees) but this is assuming all these expenses will rise including RENT.

akingangan:
Can this work?

Here's an example list of expenses in Nigeria, assuming a hypothetical minimum wage of 200,000 Naira per month:

Accommodation: 30,000 Naira
Utilities (electricity, water, gas): 10,000 Naira
Transportation (commute, fuel, maintenance): 20,000 Naira
Food and groceries: 40,000 Naira
Healthcare (insurance, medications): 10,000 Naira
Education (tuition, books, stationery): 10,000 Naira
Communication (mobile phone, internet): 5,000 Naira
Clothing and personal care: 10,000 Naira
Savings and investments: 20,000 Naira
Miscellaneous expenses (entertainment, leisure, emergencies): 45,000 Naira

Please note that this is just a sample list and individual circumstances may vary. The expenses mentioned above should be adjusted based on personal needs, priorities, and the cost of living in your specific location within Nigeria. It's important to create a budget and allocate funds accordingly to ensure financial stability and meet your specific requirements.

I am not sure TUC Union Leaders went to school..minimum wage means the pay of Non Academic Staff like cleaners will start at N200k. They are not serious at all...

1. Pay should increase from N30k to N100k
2. After 2yrs...revise based on income from deregulation and taxes or come up with other source of revenues
3. That will allow us to pay the debt and service the rest.
4. Invest in cheaper mass transits and rail networks....free for workers or buy tickets at reduced rates.
5. Continue housing schemes and credit...

- If Labour truly focuses on welfare, they can work well with the Govt...what I see here is Ego and unrealistic expectations...how will State Govt fund this and the retirement and pension that will follow. Ridiculous

Reading all these comments, I am not sure people even understand. The path to a successful Tinubu administration lies with 2 major arms...Legislative branch and the Governor. As a former Speaker, Gbaja has clouts with both arms...he can explain and swing the legislative branch and as a former Speaker, he can also listen and get what the Govs want for them.

I know yall don't know ...Biden-Harris (both Senators), Obama-Biden (both Senators) and now Tinubu-Shettima (we go see how things will go)

I agree he is the ONLY one that deserves to keep his job from this list, and our sister Abike Dabiri. No doubt they have done well, and we can see what they have done. Folks like Amaechi....a snake, gone for good now. I used to like him, but his ambition was destructive. Aregbesola...retire for good...cos Passports still remain hard to get. We need Fashola as advisor cos he said he is done, and El Rufai...praised across both parties.

concacid:
It's okay.

I go with Buba Marwa. That man is doing well with NDLEA.

Jonathan was an accidental president. People did not fight his policy...they fought his right to be the President, and only used the policy fights as a cover. Nigeria cannot afford an accidental president that is not and was not agreed to by the North and the South. This is one of the reason I believe Tinubu won.

Atiku was a Northern Candidate
Peter Obi was a Southern Candidate
Tinubu was a Northern and Southern Candidate...and all parts of Nigeria, except for one region mobilized for him because the handwriting was on the wall.


This is my own belief....feel free to speculate yours.

this was Jonathan plan before all evil elements in Nigeria came out to protest.
