This is not good. The government needs to look into this as a matter of urgency, especially now that Naira has lost much value. Lecturers/professors deserve a very good pay

saintjimos:
If kwara can pay #70,000 where's Akwaibom State

helinues:
If you don't want government to be borrowing unnecessarily, then suggest another means of raising funds without taxing

Please save us the story of government should cut their excess , even if they do, it's not even up to 3% of the current budget

HedgesTV:
Seriously ? When did buses have armed escorts in Nigeria and why did it stop ?
I’m genuinely curious.

RealityOfReason:
Actually, he made sense and you said sh!t instead. What is the competitive dollar price of Petro in West Africa? Dangote's price in naira is in reference to the index dollar price. Hence, regardless of how useless naira is, you cannot smuggle because by the time you convert to the neighbouring country's currency, it will still be their own reference to the same index dollar price. The only exception is if Dangote is referencing an index dollar price (a global mkt price) that is cheaper than the dollar price being referenced in the neighbouring country.

You need to start thinking optimally

Eniitankorede:
I know that government could have made the price cheaper through pegging an exchange rate for sale to local refineries or selling crude cheaper locally. But they wouldn’t do it because they want to stop smuggling of refined petrol to neighbouring countries. There is no way petrol will be smuggled at 1200/litre to neighbouring countries. It is just not profitable. But government must do something quickly before they cause class suicide due to hunger and poverty. They must not also underrate the propensity to cause social unrest and revolution. They must do something quickly to reduce the pain on the people.

FreeStuffsNG:
Congratulations to the two leaders. It's pentecostalism so they can go start their own ministry.

hakimi1974:
VERY BAD move, those custom and n.p.a guys will so frustrate this new policy.

Teymanhenry:
We've been scammed for donkey years that creating a local refinery will make the fuel cheap and more available thus ignoring the fact that fuel is sold in accordance with international price. The government should make our currency valuable and reduce over dependence on crude oil exportation.
The space to improve our agriculture is limitless, but they won't because the poor man will benefit a lot from such initiative...

ObosiLandlord:
Before you cry, don't forget Jonathan created one in his village too and you clapped for him.

She may be saying the truth. A girl may be wild but fears intercourse.

MrProlific95:
Lazy youths, this can also be a gimmick that will serve as excuse why the refinery could not be completed in December due to youths restiveness, Naija politicians are Demon people

GanagiBitrus:
If current market realities should determine Minimum Wage, then anything less than ₦120k would be unrealistic.

helinues:
Are you aware that some states are still paying N18k minimum wage?

potent5:
Height of Irresponsibility. Brainwashed people in government.

Educated illiterates with inferiority complex.

Sheuns:
What we actually need isn’t more Naira, it’s purchasing power of the Naira to be stronger than we have now.

50 Naira is almost useless. A satchet of pure water is 30 Naira or so. A bottle of water is 200 Naira.

Even if the minimum wage is increased to 1M Naira it still won’t be enough.

Government must do something about reducing inflation.

goatandyam:
But you go still dey import crude and petrol will not be cheap.

Thief

KnowAll:
1. Free transport to work

2. Subsidised homes. Like the ones built by shagari in the 80’s . Little one two & 3 bedroom houses. They would pay N5000.00 per month

3. Build large cooperative stores that would sell groceries at rock bottom price. That means government would buy fruit and vegetables from farmers and subsidies them. Including meat rice& fish.


It can be done. There would be know reasons to increase wages which would eventually lead to a runaway inflation. The 650,000 labour is asking for would lead to runaway inflation just like in Zimbabwe.

A delayed or cancelled flight is better than a plane crash.

So, an aeroplane can give such a false alarm?

Glory be to God that give us the best brains from SW.
magine Emeifiele was afraid to flow the Naira that's why he was paying billions to defend Naira but Cadoso has proved it that Yoruba are the best black race

In Asiwaju mandate we believe

God!!!

You sent your angel in a human form to that young man....

It will be nearly impossible to see one Nigerian lady do this.

God bless her for this.

mrvitalis:
It's a very simple question answer or u leave it

mrvitalis:
What' does the poor need steady electricity for

Electricity is not a right

Access to electricity is and u already have that

kenny714433:
IPP or solar farm?

But why can't Nigeria manufacture things like solar panels? Nigerian education is a total mess. All talk, nothing to show for it.



Honestly, no! During my curious age, I wanted producing solar panels. After using Fx series of casio calculator, I removed the solar panel to check the secret. I made real research.....

That was when I learnt of stuff like photosensitive materials, electron jump, silicon cell etc.

At such a tender age, I only knew how to improvise to set up all those components. I was haunted by my dad who never wanted to see me "play" but study, my limited knowledge of where to get those materials, my symbian phone which will always reference everything to US and UK.

After years of unsuccessful attempts, I landed in the university and the haunting continued, even worst.

It was an abandoned dream and abandoned hope.
Nevertheless, I was able to produce speakers from scratch. Achieved just by wounding coils around magnetic field and using silver film to reflect the sound.

I failed in:
Solar panels
Generating electricity with motors without battery
Electronic bell
Transistor radio.

In summary, Nigerian education is trash, it buries your aspirations. I later picked Civil Engineering in the University and it's still trash. I can only attribute 95% of the real world knowledge I have now to my Catholic secondary school.

Queengee:
Currently lives and work a 250k monthly Job in Lagos, recently I got an offer for a 500k job in portHarcourt so am still contemplating whether to accept the offer or not. I heard portHarcourt is very expensive compare to Lagos, so I don't want to make wrong decision.

Usefulsense:
Last year, I sought the opinion of Nairalanders concerning my plan to move to Australia.
My major worry was my age (48) and also considering that my net salary in Nigeria was a little over a million Naira per month as the financial controller of a manufacturing company in Onitsha.

Below is the link to the thread I opened to seek peoples advice and I recommend that you go through the thread to fully appreciate
the story that follows.

[url=https://www.nairaland.com/7825207/japa-confused-please-advise][/url]. I promised to tell my story after 3 months of my stay in Australia.

I finally left Nigeria on December 7th, 2023 and arrived the country on December 9th with my children. Today, I am exactly 3 months, 2 weeks and 6 days old in Sydney, australia.

This is not a hearsay, it is not an eye witness account, it is my story.

This is intended to guide people who maybe planning to travel outside Nigeria. Should you migrate at an age over 45 or not?

Those who told me not to go are right and those who told me to travel are also right.

Given another opportunity, will I take the decision to move out of Nigeria at 48? Have I made a mistake? How am I surviving?

You will find out in this thread.

To be continued shortly .........
