I love Gatwick!! It is closer to London

IbeOkehie:
There's no way to prevent this EXCEPT the complete elimination of ALL subsidies and price regulations and also privatization of all government owned commercial enterprises.

I'll like anyone to give me an outline of how to reduce this kind of fraud or corruption.

Government University is subsidized so lecturers devise ways of charging extra, up to and including demanding for SEX as payment for admission.

Petrol is sold at government subsidized and regulated price and people buy and smuggle it to Benin Republic and Cameroon to resell at higher price.

Government ministries and corporations hire people and the bosses take cut of the employee salary and of course the employee hardly shows up for work. He'll there are THOUSANDS of government employees living abroad and still collecting salary!!!

And it's not just Nigeria, it's a world wide thing! The impact is so big in Nigeria because the populace has low productivity.

The populace has low productivity because government owns or controls ALL factors of production in Nigeria...and Venezuela and North Korea and Liberia and many other places. It's madness.

So someone tell us how this can be stopped.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

God bless you richly.

Corruption is in almost every Nigerian.

All tiers of Government, Ministries, Agencies, parastatals are all corrupt.

The citizens complaining are massively corrupt too.

Let one member of their families win an election, they will be jubilating. Ask why they are jubiliating, they will say it is their own turn to loot our commonwealth.

We need a very strong deterrent but the Judiciary is another beehive of corruption. The situation in the country is very daunting.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
He is supposed to supervise the governors

Just like Buhari he is not supervising for reasons best known to him

You are very ignorant.

Show me in the constitution where the governors are accountable to the President.

When does the president becomes a supervisor?

You guys think of the Office of the President like office of the chairman of your neighbourhood.

With EscoBAT at the helm, expect worse.

The man na thief, his Party members who are usually given these grains to distribute are bigger thieves.

You are a silly man.

FG released bag of rice, it was repackaged and sold in a state, yet you still blamed the presidency.

Are you of sound mind at all?

If this guy goes to court, 10 years he is still on it while spending his money to prosecute the case.

This is what happens in a society where judiciary has failed a common man.

I understand the pain and the frustration of the man but his society has let him down.

chidiakwari:
We do not want to know where it will end. Since the kleptomaniacs have decided they do not care about the citizens but share largesse like it’s their birth right then be rest assured that the people are ready to take what is rightfully theirs.

I understand majority of Nigerians never voted for the current government but they do not deserve the kind of treatment meted on them.

This is a huge reason why Nigerians need not walk back on that planned protest. Do not care how long it will take, if it takes one year, so be it.

What do we have to lose? We already lost our country to selfish leaders, we might as well go all out.

Nigeria belongs to Nigerians and Nigerians decide who rule over them.

Any empirical evidence to support the bolded?

Maliqcious:
but Tinubu did it it 2005 in Lagos

And he was not funded by the FG. He looked for a way to fund the LCDA himself .

politicoNG:
https://tribuneonlineng.com/local-govt-autonomy-misnomer-not-going-to-work-fayemi/

So this Fayemi is an idiot. I lost my respect for him today.

Nigeria politicians always quick to reference foreign countries when it suits them. Do Governors behave in the way they do abroad? Do Governors have broad powers? Do Governors earn security votes which they do not have to account for? Can Governors flout the order of the Supreme Court Justices abroad even if the judgement doesn't suit them?

Fayemi should have donned the garb of the supreme justices to interprete the law for us. What lessons was he passing to the coming generations? For them to disregard the rule of law?

Stupid and lawless people in power! I have said it many times here , Governors are our problems in this country and not the president.

Dbegining:
I won't even give you the insults that I can cause if I do, it will be child abuse. Cause if not that you're a child, how do you manage to not see clear questions that I pose.

Okay, let me take it from this Angle, since you have such low sense of reasoning.

Does the FG have a ministry of agriculture?

Can the FG procure lands?

If the FG doesn't have unlimited funds to spare, is it state governors that have?

Not even to mention that the FG that doesn't have unlimited funds to venture into agriculture have funds to subsidize Hajj and buy a yacht of N5b

If it's stupid for the FG to negotiate for lands from governors for something as crucial as agriculture, the what purpose will it be wise to negotiate?


ómódè ní é

If not that you're a child, when do you ever see that an allocation is give to state governors for "agriculture" ?

Answer this questions and you'll see that you need to tender a unreserved apology to me for wasting my time on a child.


This section is not for children. Stay off.

It's been a tedious job educating you.

Don't reply. I won't dignify you with another response. It seems your head only serves the purpose of separating your head. Nothing more.

Dont run off like a deranged dog with its tail tucked between his legs.

I have never seen an idiot of this magnitude on Nairaland.

I will educate you till you have no where to run.

At the bolded, you claimed that FG has "Ministry of Agriculture". In your miserable opinion, you felt that FG has a farm where it produces crops and rears animals . Empty head, I have attached to this thread the main responsibilities of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture. The FG only work through the State Governors because it is the States that own the lands. Federal Ministry of Agriculture only provide REGULATIONS which all the State Ministry of Agriculture must adhere to. Can you now see your stupidity? There is no reason for the FG to procure lands from the States when the States have the wellwithal (funds) to undertake Agriculture. Federalism does not work that way, Idiot

Secondly, if you are not a nitwit, you would realise that the monthly allocation given to each state through the Governors is all-encompassing - health, education, agriculture, Works etc. Fools like you do not even know what constitutes the Monthly Allocation. Your stupidity has no limit. It is up to the Governors to use the money as they deem fit, and the Governors are not constitutionally accountable to the presidency!. If the Governor chooses to squander the money meant for the Agriculture in his state's monthly allocation, there is nothing the President can do.

How you even attempted to air opinion in this matter is beyond me because you have no depth. You open your mouth "waaaaaaah" and you disgraced your entire lineage on this thread. I was intentionally quoting your response so that others could see your madness is incurable, and to stop you from editing your previous messages.

Learn to read and research. The world would have been a better place if you had been flushed away from your mum's womb. Now, the world has to deal with your idiocy. Pathetic lot.

It beggars beliefs that hopeless individuals who cannot administer a group of 3 people are claiming expert by hiding behind the internet to advise the Presidency. Beast of nature, you are.

Actress Eniola Badmus resumes office as SA to the Speaker of House of Rep, Hon Abbas Tajudeen.

Nigeria certainly does not know what “SA”job is.

What advice can Eniola give to the Speaker ?

What qualifies Eniola to be an adviser?

Advice on what ?

Going by the picture where she was looking like a statue, was she performing the role of body guard as well?

IAmHim1:
NNPC could pay you #800,000

And that would seem like big money to you

But really, is it

Your #800,000 is just $500 at $1 =#1600

Note: I'm not saying reject NNPC offer. I'm saying weigh your options because your salary is going to appear to be BIGGER the more naira loses value. SO HEADS UP!

Stop comparing in an uneducated manner.

Person earning 800k in Nigeria will do much more than someone earning 2000 USD abroad. The person earning in Nigeria is exposed to Nigeria economy and not US economy. For instance if he rents a house, he doesn’t neeed to pay 1.5 million per month. Calculate the percentage of income that is wiped off abroad by just house rent.

All in the name to be reasonable forcibly, you guys end up looking stupid.

It is not the number of users that access the site that crashed it, it’s the way the application was built.

You design an application to scale as the traffic increases and you deploy some infrastructure to help in the process too.

Question the so called consultants who design and architect the apps rather the number of people accessing the site.

Dbegining:
I won't ignore your foolishness. Enough of condoning foolishness on this platform.

Let me take you back to your first comment I quoted.

You were talking about reducing the hunger in the land and I asked simple questions. Who spiked the hunger to this level? Was it the state governors?

In case you don't know, subsidy and he floating of naira are what spiked hunger and inflation.

Are the governors responsible for that?

Then, you talking about agriculture, are you telling me that the federal government can not get lands in each state for farming?

I just used army barracks as an example that if the FG can procure lands for army barracks then, they should be able to get lands for farming but because you've been blinded by your stupidity and willingness to defend the government by all means, you couldn't it.

Fool, the one who caused the hunger should be the one taking the major steps to bring it down. So, let the federal government start farming, the state governors will follow.

Not even to mention that the president you're defending has not still assented to the minimum wage bill sitting on his table since last week. Clueless president! Foolish supporter.

I’m not gonna spare you because you lack the mental acuity to process things.

When a nation can feed herself and able to export , it helps the larger economy. To address hunger, you need to start paying attention to Agriculture. It is as simple as that but your kind are half baked who just want to cluelessly engage in a debate.

State Governors collect monthly allocation from FG. They are given money to boost agriculture in their states but the Governors do not prioritise agriculture. All farm lands in the states have been converted to real estate. The states own the land and it’s stupid of you to suggest that Fg should go and negotiate for land from the States. What then happens to the money already included in the state’s monthly allocation regarding agriculture? Or your empty brain thinks fg has access to unlimited fund they can play with?

Now you are foaming in the mouth like a leper that FG should ask for land from the states when the monthly allocation received by the Governors already caters for agriculture? Why don’t you place the failure to boost agriculture on the doorsteps of the Governors who are not willing to connect with the real farmers in their states? Should all your frustration ends with the FG?

If hunger has knocked sense off you, go to your family land to till the land.

You type like you reason - silly you

I asked again - are you well so?

Dbegining:
Are you foolish?

Was it state governors that said subsidy is gone?

Are they the ones that floated the naira?

Are they the ones in charge of security?

Who told you FG doesn't have the right to lands in states? The military barracks that are built isn't it the federal government that owns them?

Why can't FG go into farming?

I wanted to ignore you before because you are so dumb.

So FG should use military barrack as farmland and feed the nation while you overlook the states who have unfettered access to arable lands in their care to farm ?

You are so blinded in your quest to blame the FG. We are talking about agriculture, you are talking about subsidy .

Are you well so?

esrinri:
No Jupiter can save Tinubu from what is coming fa. The hunger is too much is the problem

If the hunger is too much, why are you blaming the presidency.

The states own the lands and the state governors collect fat monthly allocation. What are the governors policies on the farm lands in their respective states? How are they saving farm land from real estate?

If all the governors dedicate 10% to farming, there will be abundance. They will rather build poor road where they can easily loot.

Occupy the state Guvernors residence rather than the presidency.

Let truth be told, Assisat doesn’t perform for Nigeria anymore.

I don’t see the falcon coming out of that group. Match with Spanish team will be totally embarrassing.

If you’re seeing this and you’ve millions for investment please and please don’t invest in Nigeria you’ll cry blood



Otedola even advised Dangote not to invest in Nigeria but Dangote thought it was going to be business as usual



PLEASE DONT INVEST IN NIGERIA IT WILL BE A HUGE LOSS

You should be arrested for economic sabotage.

Just because of a rift between Dangote and other agencies, you were intentionally sabotaging your own nation and tommorow, you will be crying blood that there is high unemployment.

I would not understand why the moderator has not deleted this guy's post. This is one of the things why Nairaland was almost taken off. @Seun FYA

I do not understand why people are complaining.

Netflix or Dstv are not for everyone. Stay with terrestrial TV which comes free - like NTA etc - if you cannot afford them.

Not everyone has cable TV abroad.

The service provider has just announced the new cost of their services, if you cannot afford it, stay off it or rather provide such services at ridiculously cheaper prices for the public.

Cable TV is not a must for your consumption. It is not food. It is a luxury.

comrChris:
Paying such amount when you still need data to use it is ridiculous

Just for you to know, cost of data and Netflix are more expensive abroad than in Nigeria.

seborrhic:
Please I maybe naive with this Netflix but don't you still have to subscribe for data?
So if you have to subscribe still for data for HD,which may cost average of 1Gb for each HD movie,how does this make economic sense?
Unless of course you are in a place where you have free WiFi or access to one.

or in a place where you can AFFORD the data.

When push comes to shove, people like galant would be cashing out representing those arrested.

He who has ears should listen. What happened in the Lagos State the last time won’t repeat itself ever again.

Dele Momodu is craving for attention and suffering from mental diarrhea

Trump believes in Harris.

How would Trump discredit Kamala whose campaign he once donated to?

How would Vance speak highly of Trump whom he had spoken ill of ?

The Republicans were fooled. The democrats made sure they used their big platform (Republican Convention) to target the wrong guy - Biden.

Immediately after the convention, Biden stepped down. There's no platform bigger than the Republican Convention again - opportunity lost .

That was a perfect game and politics played by the Democrats

NB: Kamala just raked in 81 million USD within 24 hours - the largest in US history. Trump must be quaking in his boots

That is entirely your opinion. I graduated from a UK university and i can tell you i know my stuff. You get exposed to a lot of technology studying in the UK which makes you ready for the job market. But having a degree like you rightly pointed out should not be an end in itself as you need to continue to develop yourself because the job market is really competitive.

So tell me which aspect of my post did you debunk with your hurried response?

I can tell you for a fact, unless you come to the UK with industry experience, at minimum, most times, your UK education can only give you “mentorship” opportunity.


For illustration, UK universities will teach you A, B, C while the job industry will ask you to write an essay.

Sonnobax15:

Proud mom...

Over there,it seems certificates are merited...But down here, blocking wan finish out higher institutions....To the extent that, nowadays even to see an intelligent graduate don dey go into extinction...

Certificates are nothing in the UK. Your interview for job would always be based on a real life scenario.

Most people that graduate in the UK don’t get to work with their certificates as they don’t have industry experience. They end up majorly working as carers. Most of them outsource their assignments out. They don’t know nothing about what was taught.

So, if you lack industry experience, no job for you in the western world unlike in Nigeria where you only need to show your certificate and the job is confirmed.

Forget about graduation, focus on what comes after graduation. Most of the graduates know that they know nothing to earn jobs.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/3/18/why-are-black-voters-backing-donald-trump-in-record-numbers

Straight from Aljazeera.. and they don't even Like Republicans

From the link you presented, it shows that 17% of black voters would vote for republicans.

But let me quote again (copy and paste ) your previous message:
"Americans are angry at the Democrats. Read the statistics. Republicans now have the highest supports from blacks and Latinos of any election. "

So, how does the Republicans enjoy HIGHEST support from blacks and latinos with a mere 17% ?. Can you please clarify because your evidence seems to go against you.

I understand you and i won't tongue lash for your ignorance.

You are not capable of owning or operating a company in the US.

You would rather be sweeping the floor under the snow.

I don't need to prove anything to you. I will rather leave you with eggs smeared on your face.

Kamala was the border czar who threw the US border wide open - you think she can get out of that issue when trump box her into a corner about it ? you dont live in the US, i do, anyone the democrats present for president right now is toast, democrats did a horrible job witch hunting Trump and left their defenses wide open - its game over

I don't only live in the US, I own a tech company in Atlanta.

Stop your funny assumption.

Trump would box Kamala into a corner? You must be dreaming. Have you forgotten she was a Former Prosecutor?? She would destroy Trump in any debate.
