English is a big problem to me.
Despite their efforts to explain what's going on, I didn't still understand it.

They're only trying to be wise with words. This shows that politicians and their cohorts thinks little of Nigerians.


That means the FG is only subsidizing sale of crude by NNPCL
INDEPENDENT marketers will have to sell according to landing costs

All that I just read are too shocking to believe.

The office of CBN cover, or comes with lots of privileges already.

Why will you now accrued more than enough to yourself?


I need more details on this
If this is true, obviously this country is gone already and we should stop deceiving yourselves

These people no even send us.

Tinubu bought another private jet in the mist of a famine
This one too....

CyrusVI:
Irrelevant comparison from an irrlevant group

Since when did we start comparing every single act of our Govt to that of the U.S

Even in cases where our FG fared better, negativists would still call it propaganda

Nigeria is a sovereign Nation for godsake

There is nothing irrelevant about the comparison. Nigeria and the US operate same system of govt, and the US is the standard every developing nations wishes to emulate.
Comparing our govt to the US govt doesn't take anything away from our sovereignty

It's no more August again

I know someone at the Dangote refinery, he said the refinery will start working in 2027

The Refinery is already working but not for Nigerians

Stone03:
Protest doesn't work in Nigeria. Once we don't get it right at the polls, be ready to suffer 8yrs of bad governance

We can never get it right at the poll because of our diversity.
Politicians will always use the ethnic and religious cards to disunite us.
And most Nigerians can't see beyond their noses

I think Nigerians have finally lost all hope.

When you protest, they kill you.
If you don't, poverty will also kill you.

Nigerians have resign all hope to God. These evil people have enshrined themselves in power while manipulating us with ethnicity, religion and party as if that's what we'll eat.

So sad we can't find a common ground to agree even when poverty knows no tribe or religion

You have no idea how many atrocities committed to spread Christianity . Africa enslavement is an example ,English conquerors and Spanish conquistadors genocide in South America and north America are example,even Christians killed themselves in the name of doctrine like the Spanish vs English war just to exact Catholicism in England . Even in central African Republic.


Abrahamic religions want to take over the world either by any means ,either by preaching ,threatening with hell , terrorism,war or propaganda.

Don't make this about Christians vs Muslims.

It's Israel vs Terrorists.

Most Israelis aren't even Christian.
You only hear noise whenever Israel retaliate against an attack on it. Do you know the number of suicide bomb that explode in Tel aviv daily?

Seeing BBN hitting FP show we are not serious about the discussion of important issues

HydraFeeds:
You must be living under hole to think Hamas just decided to escalate things ,

All religions wether Islam ,Christianity or Judaism are birds of a same feather and should be tamed .

Have ever seen a Christian terrorist kill anyone in the name of Jesus Christ?

And don't tell me about the crusade

I don't know yet

But certainly not APC and surely not TINUBU

Can't we have new bloods?

We've seen all these ones b4.

I may consider Sowore because we need his strictness

So if something is faulty, the next move is to replace it with a new one, what happened to repairing it?

Well, I don't blame you all. We made the error of putting insensitive looters in charge

Namaster:
It's DISTURBING how people insist on hiding the identities of CRIMINALS.

It's not just PETTY criminals, either. But drug dealers, ritualists, rapists and robbers too.

Criminals have NO right to privacy. SHAME and STIGMA are justified consequences of criminality.

Cut them some slack. Those are kids driven by desperation and possible neglect. Their naive past mustn't ruin their future.

If I were the owner of the house I will tell them they're free to visit whenever they're hungry

HydraFeeds:
Why don't you tell us the terrorists hiding in this single hospital room where newly born twins were bombed to death ?

That's the ugly side of war.

It's just so sad but Muslim terrorists don't care about civilian casualties except when they use them for propaganda
Every thing was docile and relatively peaceful before Hamas escalated it

While it seems criticisms of the president are apt, certain facts must be cleared.

Presidential transportation worldwide is a serious security matter. In our case, air transport of the president is handled by the Nigerian Airforce. If the airforce says a jet is unfit to fly the president because it might have stayed in service longer than specified, hence a potential aviation threat, it is only fair that we listen to them. We do not need to like them.

Those suggesting that the president must fly commercial or use his personal vehicles (like Deji Adeyanju) are not aware of the potential security threats. A Nigerian head of state was assassinated in broad daylight in his official car, while another one was murdered for not taking their security serious.

The aircraft here does not belong to Tinubu. It belongs to the Federal Government. Once Tinubu leaves power, he won't take the jet with him. So those accusing Tinubu of purchasing a private jet for himself are being ludicrous.

Yesterday, Charly Boy lied that the president's official car, Cardilac Escalade is worth almost 1 billion naira. A simple internet search showed that the vehicle is about 250 million naira. Still expensive, why did Charly Boy have to lie? When Buhari exited power, he didn't leave with the Maybach. The vehicle was not his. The Cardilac does not belong to Tinubu. DSS handles his ground transportation. Why not question DSS for proposing that vehicle?

And for those who are just realizing, the Cardilac Escalade SUV had been in use since last year and sighted several times in the convoy, how come they are just seeing it? The vice president is driven in one of such vehicles. How come they have not seen it?

Anyway, Kenneth Okonkwo says people are dying of hunger and there is no fuel or electricity. It is not Tinubu's job to cultivate arable land nationwide. It is not Tinubu's job to provide buses to transport people within states. These are things state governors can easily undertake on their own, and even local governments. We have seen the Niger State governor buy such buses. Once the burden of transportation is removed, the issue of fuel price would not bother so many.

The fact is that the president is being blamed for policies, but all presidential candidates agreed that subsidy on petrol needed to be removed. Even the messianic pontiff said he'd remove it on day 1. Suddenly, Tinubu is being condemned for taking the decision to save us from economic doom. It didn't make sense that we were borrowing to pay subsidies. Also, the removal of the parallel trade of fx was to tackle the fx fraud that drained our resources.

This meant that increased allocation could be used for developmental purposes in the states. What do the state governors do instead? We find them doing Hajj subsidies and Ramadan feeding, purchasing vehicles for traditional rulers, buying wheelbarrows to turn their unemployed youth to mai-barrow in the markets, and stacking funds for elections they are not sure of living to partake in.

Dear governors, learn one basic thing: from what happened in Kano during the August riots, when people take to the streets, they'd target governors first and they can only move up the ladder once they have brought you down.

You still have time to work for your people and address the basic problems of food security and transportation within your state. We shall criticize the president for the things we must criticize him on.

Oh STFU!

This is a man who keeps telling Nigerians he feels our pain. How does he empathise with what he did to us? By getting himself a 150 billion jets.
When there are jets in the presidential flight already. Must he fly in the latest jet?

HydraFeeds:
In a nutshell ,you support Israel genocide on innocent civilians.

Hamas should come out and fight.

Stop using humans as shield.

That is the consequence of shielding terrorists

HydraFeeds:
I will .

You asked why Hamas hasn't released Isreal hostages ,I responded that Isreal also have Hamas hostages and that the best way to ask for their hostages is by opting for swapping but you still asked again ,which means that you're deflecting.

Also, hostages is not the reason for the ongoing war in Gaza . The number of IDF death in Gaza surpass any known hostage held by Hamas . So if even the hostages are released,the ear will still continue because isreal don't want Palestinians to exist.

That's what happens when you don't take on someone your size.

Hamas should have taken on someone their size

budaatum:
Meanwhile, UK sells Israel its genocide tools.

https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9964/

So Israel should stand akimbo while terrorist nations in the ME obliterate it

While that nincompoop is spending 150 billion on a jet

This is why we must hold our government responsible.
As citizens of an oil rich state like Nigeria, what exactly do the citizens benefit that foreigners don't?
Please, anyone, kindly enlighten us because I know of nothing

And no energy to channel on ways to make self money?

Lol!

I'm already into other side- hustles. But if you show me another one. I'll be obliged to do it

Mind you, I have three extra mouths to feed

helinues:


You get mind oo. Why spending the money someone kept with you?

Right now, with the way the country is, any money I have it's food straight. Whether mine or not.
I just repaying and owing back. One day I know I will overcome the debts.
If you see money to borrow or in your possession, give praise. Because most don't have that opportunity.
From Thursday till now have spent 30k mostly on food. I just paid electricity bill 8k out of it

Why do this people like wasting our money like this?

The aircraft was in France and the president is going to France, why bring the plane back to Nigeria?
Can't the president take a flight to France and come back with the plane?
They don't even think of ways of saving money at all

grandstar:
How true is this?

The petrol price makes no sense.

The price of a litre of crude oil goes for N720 while a litre of petrol is N600. The maths does not add up.

IPMAN states that the fuel subsidy despite Tinubu's (futile) denials.

IPMAN is estimating federal government spends N700bn monthly subsidizing petrol. It charges that the petrol landing price is 1,100/litre.

There needs to be some opacity here. Somethings don't add up

The FG is still paying subsidy. However small.
And NNPC under Kiyari will like things to remain that way

Praise God!

Nothing is impossible for Him

Because the war was being fought on Ukrainian territories, Putin kept lying to many of the citizens that they were not at war with Ukraine even though most Russians didn't believe him, he can't sustain that lie anymore, the war is no more only in their backyard, also in their sitting rooms, kitchens, toilets and everywhere, Russians now have firsthand knowledge and experience of what Ukrainians have been suffering

Are we to rejoice or be worried?

You to be highly worried.

With no prepaid meter, you'll be paying much more for power you didn't use

Nigerians are the most gullible people ever , how can dangote make fuel cheaper ? When the price of the crude is expensive , if dangote buys cheap crude he produces cheaper fuel ,if he buys expensive crude he produces expensive fuel , dangote refinery will be crushed by the imf and world bank , go read about the confession of an economical hitman by John Perkins

Crude is sold to him locally in Naira.

International price is not involved here
