Travel › Re: Emirates To Reduce Flights Frorn Dubai To Nigeria From 11 Per Week To 7 by MrBlock: 2:04pm On Jul 30, 2022

I am not sure why this letter was coined this way. The non-repatration of revenue proceeds has led to cashflow constraints but not necessarily loss in business profits or revenue.

The only loss in profits I see is the inability of Emirates to earn investment interests on these funds. There would also be loss in profits if funds have to be obtained from more expensive sources to meet short-term obligations outside Nigeria. These two activities are financing and investment activities and hence not operational in nature.

The better decision that Emirates should have made is the deployment of these funds to local Investments that can earn higher comparative returns versus returns available outside Nigeria, after all, Nigeria has one of the highest interest rates in the world. I suspect this is what the Nigerian Government is trying to achieve as keeping these funds within would steer the economy.

You are just being stupid! Just look at how you are embarrassing Yuroba tribe because of one man's ambition. If you misplaced your certificate, you request for for Attestation result. This is 21st century

My statement didn't confer support for or against Tinubu. I just stated my opinion as regards to the low importance some people place on their primary and secondary school certificates especially when they have had multiple advanced degrees and decades of professional work experience.

You, on the other hand, are a sick cunt. Run along to your chauvinistic friends. I'm not here for people like you.

I just don't know but I honestly think if Tinubu wins this Election, the problem we should worry is not BokoHaram or Banditry.

It's the Touts and Park Agbero's that will feel like Presidents.

It's the Surge of God - Fatherism around the country.

Those two are things I'm afraid of.

For the man himself I heard he's tough in Governance.

But today he has no manifesto.
Only Manifesto he's got is that
"It's His Turn"

When he said "it's his turn", he was speaking to his party delegates not the general Nigerian public.

Now translating "Eléyi" in Yoruba, let me school you....when you're pricing goods or objects, when you touch it The seller tells you IYEN KÓ (not that) when you touch another item you use the word "Sé Eléyi "....when your Tinubu use a disparaging word that is used for a mere object to a sitting Gov. In his own presence.... It shows frustration.... You guys defending him are the worst set of people... Just read the garbage you put up there

Even in your example, "se eleyi?" means "is it this one?".

How can you point to yam or bread in an attempt to indicate the item you want and then say "this thing"? It doesn't make sense.

"Eleyi" means "this one". Period!

BritishNaija:
Rational statement indeed. Please do not be ignorant of what Peter Obi did. For a starter, Peter Obi linked all the towns in Anambra with major roads. Headbridge in Onitsha up the way to Army barrack was neglected for a very long time, and nothing to write home about, But Peter Obi did the needful.
Although I do not expect you to know all these because you have never visited Anambra and will never know what I'm talking about. Everything should not be about politics.

The kind of achievement required from a productive president in Nigeria goes beyond building roads. Infrastructure is essential and must continue to receive attention but that is not what would make the next president of Nigeria "great".

There are some structural changes that need to happen that would set a foundation for a progressive Nigeria even after the president leaves. These structural changes require world class internal politics at the highest levels of power in this country.

If Peter Obi can't play ordinary PDP politics, how will he handle the kingpins that run the helms of affairs in this country? Remember, these kingpins are in the Oil and Gas sector, Power generation and distribution sector, Importation and Exportation, Military and national security, internal government politics, etc.

Status quo must be disrupted for serious changes to happen in this country. The cabal is waiting and the next president must be ready and able to face them head on.

IamDavid:
Don't mind them, they're all in Lagos. In many parts of Ibadan, 7M will make your bungalow liveable or rentable. Don't expect anything fancy, just basic house. You can finish it up when more money comes.

Exactly. Many tricycle riders and danfo drivers live in their own houses even though it's in the outskirts like Sango Otta or More Ibafo. Taste is relative but building a livable and decent 3bedroom with 7m is doable.

You can't undermine the importance of government in any country. For us to take our destinies into our hands, we need to move from just protesting to joining the government. Only then can we make real change. The politicians and military leaders that took Nigerian back from the British were youths - most of them in their 20's and 30's.

We can't all become politicians, but the ones that are born for it should go for it. We would support them by joining their party and playing the politics at party level.

Dora Akunyili was not a politician when she touched lives!

Maduka, running for Anambra gubernatorial seat was not in politics before he effects changes that brought him to lime light!

Dr. Stella Adadevoh, saved the population of Lagos, from ebola, was she into politics

So what are you saying How can a professor of law just speak anyhow all for the sake of talking then when it comes to real talks, he's mute

If being what you (prof Osibanjo) are today is what being in politics is all about then I dare say politics cages one and makes one senseless!

Let's stop being unreasonably critical. Clearly, Osibanjo is refering to the youths making change in government affairs like law making and administration of the country.

The youths have an idea of what they want, but it's time to stamp this idea through deciding who wins at the primaries, attaining key political positions at state/federal level, appointing the right Chief Justices, appointing the right security heads, making the right laws that we think is needed to govern this country etc. An extreme example of such laws could be to behead corrupt politicians, amongst other laws.

We can't keep protesting every time. We need to start playing the political game that would finally send these old politicians to oblivion.

Knowledge is far from you. "#EndSARS" is a representation of an ideology that Nigerians aim to quench. It's not a fight against SARS, it's a movement against government oppression.

There are video evidences of residents of the South East cheering the unknown gun men as they carryout their destructive activities. This gives indication that the people are in support of what is going on. If this group is
