We are gradually getting there.

The poor masses are getting closer to the ultimate level of poverty gradually, right? And you are happy for it?

Omicron007:
Today makes it exactly one month since Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Since he took the oath of office, the president has made some tough calls and decisions. He has also made some appointments.

One month later, how has he performed so far?

He has been terrible so far!
All the positive ratings are media hype!

Nigerians are much poorer now because of the reckless increase in fuel price and floating of the naira which now sells above N750 to USD

seborrhic:
Good.
Once it converges around the parallel rate,further improvement will be seen.
A good part of what made the parallel market rate high was the round tripping.People would buy from the banks through connections and sell to the black market or the banks would hoard the dollars they buy from the CBN at favourable rate,sell to abokis and make huge profits while claiming in forms they sold to businessmen.
Why would anyone now sell to abokis if u can source from the bank.
Abokis too would in losing market have to bring down their rates or they lose some patronage particularly when people know there are fraud and counterfeit risks involved in trading in the black market.

It is madness and stupid idea to float the naira in a market that is inefficient and does not have adequate checks and balances.
Don't be deceived by all the hype.
One very rich man can decide to buy the dollar to hoard and kept, and that alone can cause a major move in the exchange rate.

LOL @ driving my car to my village. Na boat we dey use. I saw Gazzuz post on his conversion to LPG hit fp. And for someone of his status, I'd expect he understands the physics, chemistry and risks involved AND would have taken all precautions. But who is to say Kazeem onigas will take those safety precautions? Plus is gas powered vehicles really the way forward? I don't know the stats but in say the US, I'd like to see what percentage of ICE vehicles are gas powered compared to petrol.

The use of LPG/CNG as vehicle fuel is the next thing in the global energy transition agenda.
This technology is not new and it has been in use in Ghana for almost 20 years now. Most taxis in Ghana run on LPG/CNG.
The problem is that most Nigerian artisans may rush into it without taking their time to learn and master the art and be near perfect. So many quack generator mechanics, and same may happen to the LOG/CNG conversion thing.

Dialpad:
This is a good move, I know many are waiting to hear news of when we can start spending dollars on our naira cards.

How can one have millions in a naira account but can't spend when you travel out, some lunatic tells me I can only spend $100 monthly.

If you are waiting to spend dollars on your naira card, click the like button.... lol

It is better you understand the consequence as regards the exchange rate.
This would make the dollar to be N1000 in a few weeks, and destroy things more.
We have a president that is operating market-dictated, capitalist ideas but the market on Nigeria is not a skewed type with no checks and balances.
By the time the dollar reaches N1000, the same govt. would some back againand tell you that fuel must sell for N1000 per litre because ''subsidy is a scam'' and that they cannot be father christmas to other neigbhouring countries forgeting that it is Nigerian masses that are suffering and dieing..

This Tinubu wil destroy Nigeria if care is not taken!
All this media hype will not save Nigeria and Nigerians by the time he is done with his crazy capitalist policies.
The more the naira loses value, the more Tinubu and his cronies become richer, and the masses become poorer!
Some idiots are still praising him for this destructive policy!

nairalanda1:
So, we still won't be enjoying domestically refined fuel yet. Played again by APC

Anyway, we can't go back to subsidy, even if APC goes tomorrow. We can't be borrowing to fund some countries' kpayo addiction.

Please stop a while and think deep. Don't be fooled by the silly assertion that Nigeria is doing father Christmas to neighbouring countries. There can never be an end to the so-called "subsidies" if they keep importing refined products and the naira keeps depreciation.
CFA is now stronger than Naira so it is cheaper for smugglers to come but fuel here and bribe your customs officers, ship it across the borders and sell to make profit.

Nigeria, known for its rich culture and diversity, has a plethora of captivating dances that have captivated audiences for generations. Nigerians love to dance . Many Nigerian artists know this, so they are always making songs for the hottest dance, or – for the more creative ones – creating a new dance move for fans to rock to and increase the shelf life of their songs. Some of these dance steps were not invented by Nigerian artists, but the moment they crossed into our airwaves, we made them our own, and created mad jamz around them.

Azonto is still the most enjoyable of all the dance styles. Flexible, communicative, sexy. It is not aggressive and stressful like some of the other dance styles

patriotic007:
Tinubu should have resumed office first,go through the records, balance the accounts, negotiate the negotiatables, meet the marketers, evaluate the market, negotiate with Dangote,do a market survey, and conclude the best case scenario for Nigerians before announcing the subsidy removal.......Now marketers are cashing out big time because of tinubu's reckless pronouncement......with a new indeginious refinery and a ready market Nigerians should have a better deal in terms of Pump price......But our Mandate thief wants to recoup the money he used in stealing the position immediately without caring for the masses.....and subsidy payment was the only spare aspect of the Nigerian Budget that the thief Tinubu can use to recover the Billions of Naira he used in Getting the position....... Nobody invests money to lose the money 🤣........ Forget about the fraudulent quote the wife of tinubu is putting up that God has blessed the Tinubu's family and they don't need Nigerian money🤣🤣🤣🤣....... God has blessed them but they have clinged to Lagos State's mega revenue and resources for years now......God has blessed them but they have made sure their stooge continue as Government in Lagos to continue their stealing of Tax player's money......God has blessed them but they used billions of Naira to bribe their way to power and snatch political power to run away with it.....God has blessed them but they spent billions to bankroll many youths to kill,intimidate, snatch ballot boxes,and even impersonate online as patriotic Nigerians for them to remain on the good books of Gulible Nigerians ....... Anyone thinking Tinubu is the solution to Nigeria's problems is just totally blind...... Nigeria is doomed or else The New Nigeria comes to pass.

You are very right!
What Tinubu did shows he could be very reckless and not deep enough when it comes to thinking about how to govern.
I am already seeing a nepotistic tendency like what happened under Buhari.
He will fail badly if he decides to fill his cabinet and appointments with mostly Yoruba people instead of spreading appointments across the 6 zones of the nation.

Spandau:
Oga, they just started this administration. Give them time and stop expecting magic like Obi lied that he would perform.

If they just started, then they should not impose punishment on Nigerians and be making stupid comments about Nigeria being father Christmas to neighbouring countries! The truth is Nigeria has depreciated badly, so they need more Naira to imrt the fuel, not because of any father Christmas anywhere!
What didn't Tinubu say in 2012 when Jonathan increased fuel price in the name of subsidy removal?

herkeem:
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/06/nigeria-cant-continue-to-be-father-christmas-to-neighbouring-countries-tinubu/

This is a stupid and thoughtless statement. It is silly to punish 200m people because some few other people are stealing from the government and the govt is clueless and cannot arrest or investigate them.
The real issue with the so called fuel subsidy is the depreciation of the Naira. So, it is cheaper for people using stable currency like CFA to buy the fuel in Nigeria and smuggle it to other countries to sell for profit
There can never been an end to this so called subsidy if the Naira keeps depreciating and the FGN refuses to investigate the fraud in the subsidy payments and prosecute the people that are stealing from the scheme. I
The same argument was used by Obasanjo and Goodluck to increase the price of fuel in years past.
If the dollar exchange rises to N1200, the same idiots in govt will still come back and say they want to remove subsidy again.

DOptical:
Imagine. Nigeria using huge funds to subsidise fuel for the whole Africa nation while Nigeria masses themselves bear the brunt of it all.

Where did you get this useless thought from? Do you think it is only Nigeria that has oil in Africa?
Libya, Algeria, DRC, Gabon etc. all have oil and they don't need any oil from a clueless and directionless country like Nigeria.
If your government and country is clueless about how to manage the oil resources, dont try and console yourself with some silly conspiracy theories!

Successonpoint:
I hope my story will motivate someone to take charge of their life.
I lost my job last year July, and so a friend of mine introduce me to a poultry farm where I am earning 22k per month.

A man with wife and two kids o, my wife was not happy with the job even though she has been supportive in her own little way. And then, she suggested that I should learn handwork, and so I decided to learn welder.

On getting to the man, he told me I will spend 2 years o, I will pay 70k to learn from him. Me way I no get even 20k, I begged him to collect 50k and he agreed.

Then he asked me to make part payment of 30k. I went home and told my wife, and then she gave me 20k to give to the man. I gave the man 20k and he collected it, to my greatest surprise within 2 months I started doing the welding job perfectly.

On my own, I have paid up the remaining 30k with small small repairs job he allowed me to be doing for people. And by God's grace, I have started saving up for my tools.

I really thank my wife for the advice and the welder too. The man has been a tremendous blessing to me in many way. He even told me yesterday that with the look of things I may be free from him in 2 months time except I decided to still remain with him for a while.

Please take charge of your life and stop depending on people for survival.

This is my advice to you: Dont be in a hurry to leave the man. I know age is not on your side, but try and learn many more tricks and volunteer to do the difficult and dirty jobs. That is how you would be able to master the tricks.
When you are very confident that you are okay, then you can go set up your own workshop. You can also apply to go abroad to countries like Canada and Germany where they need people like you.

LeoDeKing:
Yes, they can meet to discuss how to mitigate the spontaneous effect of the removal. But I trust the great Jagaban of Africa, subsidy is gone and gone for good.

A line may be added in the salaries of public and civil servants. Learning and medical facilities may be provided in appropriate institutions at reduced prices for the benefit of Nigerians. Infact, there are more than a million ways to redirect the subsidy funds for our collective good.

But continued enrichment of the already very rich fuel marketers in the name of the scam called subsidy should stop forthwith.

God bless PBAT
God bless VP Shettima
God bless Nigerians in all the six five geopolitical zones.

Blind support! Tinubu messed up with that careless and reckless comment that he made ''subsidy is gone''!
Now, he has caused unnecessary hardship in the economy!

A wise president would have taken his time to settle down and received detailed briefings from technocrats and stakeholders in the industry and consult widely before making such remarks!
Being a president is different from being an opposition leader! Presidents should not talk anyhow!

thelords4u:
I just got two jobs:
1. Federal Hospital Job - ₦95,000 monthly
2. General Manager of a subsidiary of a big pharmaceutical company - ₦500,000 monthly.

I have been out of job for 2yrs before these employments, I have really suffered that in those 2years, where my family have disowned cos I have been so poor and hopeless.

Now I want to make the right choice, which job should I pick cos I'm also thinking of japa very soon

You have the answers already:
Take the 500K job, but make sure you restrict your budget as if you are taking 95k per month.
That would enable you to save very well and invest or travel.

If you are already considering the possibility of taking the 95k job, then it means you could survive on it, so the extra 400k should go into serious savings/investments over the next few years and you would find your status gradually changed. Beware of things that could snatch the money from you.!

LeoDeKing:
Tinubu should be firm with his decision.

Criminals benefiting from the subsidy scam can cry blood, subsidy is gone, make dem go chop the one wey dey don save.

Funds for fuel subsidy will be invested in other sectors for the benefit of Nigerians instead of few criminals.

Yes, it will be difficult but for our good.

For those who said Tinubu is not their president, they can ignore this subsidy removal from Tinubu and comply with Peter Obi's contrary directive.

Tinubu himself is the useless criminal, and a loose talker!
Subsidy had been provided for in the budget up to Jun 30th, so what is the reason for making such reckless and irresponsible comment that ''subsidy is gone'' on hi inauguration day before even sitting down to engage stakeholders!
He will fail with this useless agbero talkative mentality as president

HacheNoire:
Shettima nailed it! These is the kind of leader we need, who can say it as it is.

Those subsidy thieves will do everything to cripple the economy, and Nigerians must not give-in.


The criminals will act like they are on the peoples side so as to get subsidy running again.

Shallow thinker!
How does it benefit the masses if petrol sells at N350 per litre?
You are one of the people who have been brain washed to accept that petrol subsidy benefits some people and not the masses! So pathetic. Minimum wage is 30,000 and you are supporting plans by a useless political class to impoverish the people.
Tinubu does not have any magic wand. So don't just swallow whatever his government says!
He would sow the seed of failure if he starts by taking anti-masses decision by removing subsidy on petroleum products.
His reckless comment that ''subsidy is gone'' is already causing hardship and distortions in the economy, with long queues at filling stations.

HacheNoire:
Price per liter in Saudi Arabia is $0.62/liter. Are we paying that much in Nigeria? That’s what subsidy has been cushioning.

It’s time we step up!

And how much is the minimum wage in Saudi Arabia? Do you use only half of your brain to think?

KiNg0G:
I'm dieing deep within me every time money comes my way. Just know it's time for me to suffer throughout that week. I lodge a hotel, carry women buy drugs and start gambling on sporty bet until I'm drained financially, physically few days before I come back to my senses with not a single one naira in my account. I feel like I'm cursed to be rich with no peace of mind. But when all the money is gone, I can manage 1k and cook food, eat well, drink water...

But give me 1million. That's when my suffering start...I forget to eat or think just back to my suffering ways. I can't help it.

I have prayed to God to make me poor for life because it's yet again another suffering when money comes my way

Pray, and go to SCOAN.

U09ce:
The Israeli aggression against the Palestinians is the most poignant example of Western hypocrisy. The West forcefully carved out Israel in the midst of the Arabs. And they shamefully support the expansion of the illegit state while trampling on the rights of innocent Palestinians. These are same people that vituperate once they hear of a coup in one landlocked country in Africa. What a double standard!

Carved out Israel? You must be joking! Israel is older than most of the surrounding nations.
It is even N insult to describe Amy parr of Jerusalem as "occupied East Jerusalem" All of Jerusalem belongs to Israel

Cheating, dishonesty and poverty.

You are looking for a rich, ready made guy who would not cheat on you?
Good luck.
When he cheats, leave him and go for a richer guy who would also cheat on you, and you leave him again and again and again.
If you as a lady want a lasting relationship with the potential of marriage, remove cheating
from the list of deal breakers ! Focus more on if he has a good heart and is kind to you and your family!
Most men go after more than one lady at a time

Dindondin:
Who made jollof rice popular?
Nigeria.
Who first made it, we don't know. But historically, Nigerian culture is older than that of Ghana and Senegal so it's possible Nigeria made it first. Though I stand to be corrected.
Later, I m seeing it here that Wollof tribe of Senegal started Jollof rice with palm oil n condiments. You should know how horrible jollof with palm oil will taste. So the trophy of who made it better and popular belongs to Nigeria.
Foods like eba, pounded yam & fufu were popular world wide cos if Nigerian influence in selling them in overseas.
Amala on its own is peculiar with Yorubas. Meaning Nigerians are the first to eat Amala cos it's origin is from Yorubaland. Amala is of two types, brown amala and white amala.
Brown from grinded yam peels and white from grinded cassava

Typical Nigerian mentality of trying to steal the credit for something that others did or crested or originated.
Nigeria did not make jollof popular! Arrogating things to yourself is a sign of greed and covetousness, and that is what makes people to steal all sorts of things, ideas without acknowledging the original owners and even go into more serious crimes like stealing and robbery!

Can the Igbo tolerate in their states what they do in other people's states?
You come to another man's land and after becoming successful you open your mouth to call the place " no man's land"!.
