As Rotus explained on AriseTV, Tinubu's inauguration speech was very good from a business POV. It 'Renewed my Hope' & made me start dreaming again.

However, PBAT's silence on the current fuel scarcity is alarming. His team should be telling him to complete subsidy removal ASAP.

Then Mr. President will be able to boast of having hit the ground running - by removing the subsidy that leaders have been trying to remove for several decades within his first days in office. The hardship we're currently facing will be the last that we will face.

If Mr. President backtracks, then his bold proclamation on fuel subsidy removal will be seen as a costly blunder that bodes poorly for our future under him. He will be prolonging the suffering of Nigerians who are currently experiencing scarcity. They will experience it all over again when he finally removes the subsidy.

The president has an opportunity to get to the finish line of petrol subsidy removal before those who would oppose it can even start organising their resistance.

All he has to do today is empower filling stations to price their petrol based on demand and supply, just like diesel. Then he should instruct the NNPC to announce that they will distribute fuel at the landing cost since the subsidy is gone. Fuel scarcity will disappear.

After the subsidy is gone, the poorest of us can be helped using a Rapid Response strategy. We can identify those who are struggling the most with subsidy removal & use the funds earmarked for subsidy payments in June to provide short-term assistance to them.

Later, Mr. President also needs to license at least 50 capable companies to import petrol into the country alongside the NNPC, duty-free. Their competition and duty exemption will prevent unsubsidised petrol from becoming too expensive.

This will be a big win for Mr. President if played right.

His speech is brilliant and mostly offhand.... The man sabi book.

He spent about 7 years wooing me.

I later gave in after 7 years. He didn't give up on me because he saw ultimate value in me and I was the best thing to have ever happened to him. Turned out to be the best relationship I had. I set him as a standard. If you don't have such forbearance as a man when dealing with, I am sorry but I can't date you. Thanks.

Moral lesson: Never give up on that woman because she's not ready or ain't giving in. Patience is key.

I met this lady on Facebook and before you say jack we started dating. As time went on i decided to invite her to my house on a particular day....

That was our first meeting and we had sex. I was suprise to see that she was a virgin, infact real tear rubber wey be say na me open am. She cried and left, after some time she informed me that she hasn't seen her period ooh, so i told her to run a pregnancy test fast cos my mind don dey beat uncontrollably.

After the test it was confirmed that she was pregnant hmmmmm, God of mercy, i was so confused and devasted. To cut the long story short i went to to see her family with my own family and informed them that i would be fully responsible for the child but i wasn't ready for marriage.

After deep conversation with both family we left. But what struck me was during the conversation i sighted a HIV drug on their dinning table(I'm a doctor), immediately my mind was not at rest again. So upon reaching home, i started interrogating her on WhatsApp and calls about the drug I saw until she opened up to me that all her siblings were HIV positive including the father and mother and that She was the only one who was negative.

From the moment she told me that my mind hasn't been at rest again because i wasn't sure she was telling me the truth about her own status. I started running HIV test from that day every month until a year later before i confirmed I wasn't infected but you need to see the way i lost weight due to depression.

Please guys be careful out there, AIDS IS REAL. Though she later gave birth to my lovely son but unfortunately he died before clocking a year. I do not wish to remember the pain I passed as a result of his death.

Outstandingmam:

“Multiple nominations with the electoral act does not occur simply because he accepted a second nomination, the fact that the acceptance was immediately relinquished so as to pave way for another person to replace him as senatorial candidate cannot be overlooked or disregarded.

“We have to be very careful the way we read provisions of facts particularly when they are public interest issues and for presidential requirements where it is broad knowledge where it is very clear that the purpose of the statutory provision is to avoid a situation where the person holds two nominations to have an election as a candidate either in two constituencies or political parties.

“The purpose of that provision is to avoid the situation but where a person has clearly said ‘no I don’t want’, and relinquishes one, I do not think it will be acting in good faith to jump on him and infer something else.

Case closed. I've been wondering why nobody thought along this lines since this argument started. The guy didn't go into the election standing in 2 constituencies. He relinquished one and INEC only published his name in the VP slot so why all the cacophony of conspiracies?

I'm not surprised the judges choose this common sense path.

Good day my fellow nairalanders...It's been a while since I've been active in-here...I know how much you guys have equally missed me ,the warri guy .....But I must really confess that I've missed you all so much too...But the hustle has really got my hands so tied up

Well,I've sat and thought of sharing with you all my experience and journey so far on how I've fared since I left my bakery work for keke riding...

First of all,it hasn't been an easy journey..But I must say from the depth of my heart that it's the best decision I've made so far in my entire life....

Though it was given to me by a micro finance bank at a higher purchase price...But considering the amount of profit I usually make for myself on a daily basis after remitting the everyday #4k back to the micro finance bank is very mouth-watering .

Also,the peace of mind is top-notch....I don't have to be confronted by any boss whosoever for coming late to work or poor work output...As a matter of fact, I'm myself boss . If any passenger tries to intimidate me,I've every right to show him/her the exit door out of my keke . I remember how agberos took advantage of me at first when I first started as a novice......To the extent that I stopped working during the day, waiting until the evening when the different squad of agberos have departed the roads . Chaiiii,dem really show me shege cha

Las las,it wouldn't be nice if I don't mention the fact that "agberoism" is indeed a part of this job.... Sometimes I can't help but ponder and wonder how a dude like me who used to be very quiet has suddenly turned out to be the outspoken type to the extent that I now exchange insults with other motorists on the road . Perhaps it's something that's encrypted in every transporter's DNA


In a nutshell,my deepest regret is that I neglected this idea as at five years ago...If only I had paid heed to my old man's advice, definitely, I'd have had my own keke by now... But so far so good,I give God all the glory

Las las, I'd love to advise every jobless but aspiring nairalander out there, that there are enough legit hustling out there which are waiting for you to come and embrace them....."KILL THE PRIDE AND HUSTLE, BECAUSE LAS LAS, NOBODY GO PUT FOOD FOR YOUR TABLE IF YOU NO GET MONEY"......
