I am not your brother.... So you do the check-up thing... Because you aren't sane enough to know who's related to your cursed self and who's not.


And thank God you know that you don't even exist to feel that you should make a joke about someone in the first place.

Your heart is evil... And you don't deserve happiness.

Chill, you be man, is this necessary?

Reminds me of that skit with one only woman asking a guy pushing a wheel barrow with a body in it, "e don die?"..
At the end of the day when she heard the reason, she adviced the body not to do that again in next life, but for now, they should go and get rid of it.
Poor girl. May he soul Rest in peace.

Beer parlor business is not for a married woman, except the hubby does not mind sharing her, having her ass slapped once in a while, as far as the cash is flowing.

Adonbilivit. Call me a hater if you like. How much is the pastor worth? Who is shioma to him to warrant him doling out such amount to get her a gift? Has he set all his relatives straight? Publicity is a I see here.

People will do alot to impress and gain respect. Davido is a big man, him visiting the pastor with chioma, possibly to formally introduce her, is a big honor as it shows davido has regards for him, as a big boy he had to reciprocate on the standards he has been placed.
See, few years back, my brother visited someone after his wife gave birth, the man gifted him $30k. Hot cash money! Here in naija oh, not abroad.
So such gifts are not unusual amongst rich folks.

I recall how this menace was competing with the bad news of boko haram bomb blasts during the horrible locust years of HE GEJ's era and all our national problems looked intractible but today it is zero.

So it will be for other crime industry like bandits, sit at home violence, train piracy, drug menace , oil theft etc and Nigeria will crush all the evil unpatriotic elements holding back the country.When the bandits were being bombed and their collaborators being rounded up home and abroad, they were forced to release all the train piracy victims.
All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose.

Imagine FG investing billions to build train for the comfort of the citizens yet some unpatriotic elements went ahead to steal rail tracks and bomb the train. I never just can not fathom that.
Now that FG has defeated them on sea then should permanently flush out the train pirates and terrorists in the north and terrorists in the South East using drug epidemic to recruit illbred youths.

This is truly a great news!! God bless Nigeria for ever!

You call Jonathan's time "locust years"?. Wonderful! You probably live on the moon, uranus or lala land.
Are you honestly claiming your standard of living is better now than than during Jonathan's time? For real? Even if you were paid 30k bmc monthly stipends 7 years ago it was $200, today it is worth a mere $40.

Corridon:
FFK is mentally sick. He is yet to realize what Nigerians take him for! He still doesn't know that he is the butt of our jokes and no one takes him serious. Even Tinubu's supporters sees him as a mad man because they know that by this time next year he will abandon Tinubu again and be singing Obi's praise.

Fill his stomach with snacks and he will sing the blues for you..
If he were a chick, he will be the patron of association of quick 2ks

Abeg they should chill with the Armageddon till I enjoy my next vacation ohh

Somebody needs to buy 2022 benz Maybach for 3 other wives.
If you know you know..

Is this not the work of dangote under the tax concessions scheme deal he has with federal ministry of works?

Wow, we should celebrate him for raising the national debt. Wonderful.
Who was it that said " nijariaa! From top to buttom"?

4teenblaq:
We don't want appointment, we want Nigeria to be working!

With all the appointment so far, we are still suffering. Our oil is not beneficial to us, no reasonable infrastructure in delta state. Most of us in Delta state, are always out of state. We are like vagabonds. No proper job creation, the only thing that strive here is YAHOO YAHOO business.

Abeg shey you see people reasoning?
Thank God for you good response.

Waynesteave:
my uncle is dead, he died in 2004 on my arms.

Na wah, sorry to hear that. Are you sure there is no problem with all the die die?

Tinubu is comming to the rescue 2023, cassava, garri, agbado, ewa and dodooo will be plenty to create demand, the farmers will produce, hunger in the land will vanish.
Well, Tinubu and I (hopefully) will be eating Swiss cheese, ham, bacon, croissant etc..

My bloda, nothing do you. Infact you are doing well.
How's the family?

Na wah. The way these politician blow cash, flunt money, you will think there is no suffering in this country. This car is at least $250,000. Duty on a car like this can be over 60m! This is mint, not tokumbo oh, brand new! You can bet state resources was used in its purchase. There is no sense of remorce or sobbernes that the country or even the state is going through difficult times, that salaries are owed, that schools in that state are run down. This same gov has 3 other wives and possibly tens of concubines, all possibly living large.
Well, that is why I think Obi cannot be president. Will you have a president living a frugal and humble lifestyle than have politicians under him living large? Not possible, so they will fight him to ensure the presidency is elusive to him.

Perfectbeing:
Don't be foolish. Innocent Chukwuma is a big businessman whose major customers is the federal and State Government. Should be now say he's not a smart businessman then?

It will rather be "foolish" to compare a manufacturer that makes his products ie vehicles, plastics tanks, chairs etc and sells to the open market, government, private individuals, companies etc come to patronize him, to another person that is a career government contractor. Someone that has no financially sustainable business other than government paddy paddy deals.
Seems you are ignorant of how that works. See, before other people's eyes opened, Abiola was the only one chopping such big time deals, latter, people like nuel ojei, Arthur Eze etc in the early 80s entered the fold, later consolidated by getting oil blocks. In the 90s folks such as the late Hosa okumbo, orji kalu etc got in and by the late 90s early 2000 everybody had wisend up and all wanted to make easy money as gov contractors just as Abiola did, i inclusive.
You get a padded supply contract worth eg 10k, use 2k to execute it and share 8k with paddy paddy officials.
That I insist is not business acumen such as it is with Innoson.

In my opinion I don’t think the ban on importation of turkey and rice was a bad idea in itself, the implementation was the problem. I remember still seeing foreign rice in the market while foreign rice was banned, I am talking about many many months after the ban came into effect so we cant say it was the foreign rice already in the country that they where selling. Everyone knows Turkey is still smuggled in anyway, many governments before Buhari has banned it and it still came in. The Nigerian Customs service is a very corrupt organization so that is why many of these policies fail IMHO. But now saying remove forex and import restrictions? No matter how you look at it, whatever rice in price of goods we are seeing now will be childs play compared to what will happen if those restrictions are lifted. The solution is to ensure proper compliance to those policies, anything we can make in Nigeria should not be allowed into the country, most especially not with forex gotten from the CBN. If imported rice gets too expensive, people will eat the Nigerian processed once, it looks like a painful process but that is how self reliance work, it is a painful process. We want the country to work but we want it easy. Processing rice is not rocket science, if importers see they can make more money buying local rice and processing here they will take that route. Even the local rice will be expensive at first but eventually more people will go into it, competition lowers prices, and in the end everyone will be happy.
When we are shouting we want a better country, we should know a lot of pains comes with it.
Most people today are shouting remove fuel subsidy, the way you complain about the price of rice is how they will complain about the price of fuel. Nobody want die, but dem want go heaven.

You mentioned the government policy on containers and trucks when importing, I don’t have a lot of knowledge on that so I can’t say much on it.

Well said, but my point is that we have been doing things same way and getting same results. We should try some other way to see if there will be improvement. We have not gotten the full details of his plan, just the sensational part was picked. Don't forget Obi has operated businesses at the highest level, home and abroad. From international to local trading, also the financial industry.
On the financial sector ran 2 banks including the current fidelity bank, chairman of charms Ltd and so many other blue chip companies. He certainly is not a green horn.
Finally, fx and economic has to do to an extent with "confidence". People's trust in financial management. If people know they can have acess to forex to do their business or personal use when needed, there is less demand and pressure on the naira. Eg, currently, anyone that has reasonable cash at hand, because of perceived fx hoarding, goes to the parralell market and changes the money to forex and keeps, at home or in dom accounts. People have even started loosing faith in dom accounts and rather transferring to foreign accounts for savings!
Maybe once confidence is restored interms of availability, naira will stabilize, that might be his strategy. Of course, the regular import ban on certain goods remain to avoid the country being a dumping ground.

Tejuri:
You people don’t think, that is your problem. You think 150 to 750 is bad abi, remove forex restrictions and see what happens. I guarantee the naira will devalue against the dollar by N1000 every six months. You will buy 2005 toyota corolla for N10,000,000 na that time una eye go clear. You think those who put the forex restrictions and import restrictions don’t know what they are doing. Yes, there is corruption in that system where they give the rates to their friends but the alternative is 1000x worse.

Funny you, as I said earlier let's stick to what we know.
The fact that boarders were closed, imprortation of eg rice, turkey and the rest was banned, has it increase local production and made the price of those items reduce? Has it in anyway stopped the devaluation of the naira since those items have been banned and no forex allocated for importation?
7 year ago when those items could be imported, how much was rice, turkey etc and how much was the dollar to naira. Now it has been banned how much is rice etc and how much is the dollar?
You were importing 7 years ago rice 3500 a sack , dollar ₦150. You banned, rice 35k dollar 750! No be juju be that?
Stupid policies!
I wanted to import a truck with my money sourced from abroad, shipping will cost 2500 pounds, clearing ₦1.5m.
Now they told ee new gov policy is that you cannot load items in the booth of the truck to offset your shipping cost. That you must load such items in a container. So in short I will ship a whole truck empty and pay full shipping. On the short term, a civil servant thinks he is making money for gov, but a knolegable person knows that getting taxes from 1000 trucks imported is better than now when only 50 will come in at same time. Last week they said good worth billions are abandoned at the ports, cars etc because after clearing them they can not be sold at market prices, so better to cut cost by abandoning them.
Wise on the short term but silly on the long term.

tempest01:
LOL

Shettimas heart is dark.

You people will not be able to white wash this with your usual fact checking propaganda.

"Shettimas heart is dark"
Same thing was said about the current occupier of the villa way back, but block headed people refused and but him in power. See where he has gotten us, poverty capital of the world and confirmed shit hole. 7 years later out of 10 calls you get, 8 are begging for assistance! Ie Formally proud hard working folks oh! 7 years later, some stupid minister is boasting of how may passports immigration has successfully issued! How come Nigerians are processing passports in record numbers?

N3TRAL:
A voice note isn't my problem.

My problem is that a presidential candidate wants to remove import restrictions in Nigeria.

Like what the Bleep?

Within 2 months of such stupid policy the dollar reserve in the central bank will be empty.

Millions of employees will lose their jobs.

Even people that produce biscuit will close their factories.

It's scary in this e-commerce era where I can order for 1 million crates of eggs abroad, 200,000 cartons of frozen chicken online, and throw poultry farmers into joblessness.

Nigeria will suffer the worst balance of payment deficit ever known to humanity.

Wow. Just wow!

Oga, stick to what you know, leave the one that is causing you "problems" for those that can handle it or try to do so, Afterall things have been done same way for the past 7 years and we know where it has gotten us. From 150 per dollar to 750! Should be continue doing things the same way and getting same results ie the destruction of the naira?
Kindly stick to hailing Tinubu and bashing tribes, leave economics to others willing to try a different route.

PointZerom:
You that's on top line of politics, what have you benefited more than an average igbo person?

Abeg ask him.
One other fellow that wrote on another page. I checked his profile. Nigger does okada buz as a rider for a living. Even contemplated suicide last year from hard times. Yet, yet, he still has not wisened up.
No be juju be that?

Throwback:
What I want to know is how Peter Obi would be better despite his failure in academics and in government.

Some day, hopefully, some folks will have sense.
As fela said, suffering and smiling.

Sonyboom765:
Peter Obi can lie, just look at this man. The Pandora account exposed was not opened before Peter Obi was governor nor was it opened in his first term as governor.

The Pandora a count in Obi's daughter's name was opened in his second tenure as governor.

Notice where Premier times declared 4 years after he was governor 2010 meaning his second term which every Nigeria know is when governor loot the most.

You have this info, why have you not done Nigerians a favour by petitioning efcc, police, ndlea, lawma, lastma, icpc, man o war, girls guide etc to investigate, arrest and prosecute Obi all these years? Haba he is in the opposition and with little evidence, the ruling party will pounce on him. Surely they will be greatful for your info.

Who ask Reno for him opinion? Buzy bodi, work no pay.

All theses kin business weh persin no understand.
Them go use person money take buy benz

JooEeL:
See ur life. And Im sure you are of one the brightest of Tiffnubu's supporters.

O ma se fun ebi e o.

Is this really the best u could come up with? I refuse to believe Tinubu's supporters are dull though. Let me skip this comment and read further down in search of something more easy on the eye.

Just go and read the guys previous post on his profile page, you will them wonder if Nigerians are cursed.
Seems he wants to continue suffering for 600 years

Bad market
Persin weh steal that phone better just drop it in 3rd mainland, if not dss go use am do suya.

Might be that exotic African breed called "bingo", it is good at showing thiefs where the house holder is hiding. It's favorite snack is shit.

babaolofin:
He is a crude trader. Just like Onitsha Main Market or Ariara or Alaba market uncivilised trader.

That is a container economic theorem.

He was the Special Adviser to Goodluck Jonathan on Economy, the economy failed woefully. That time, he was the Anambra State governor and Jonathan honoured him and made him Special Adviser on Economy, his sister, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala was the head of the Economic team, they liquidated Nigeria, after, the woman ran away.

IBETO was allowed to import and package cement in PortHarcout while FMN, BUA, Dangote & Lafarge invested on local production. There are so many things I don't want to discuss here. Apart from IBETO, there are many other deals that took place among their kinsmen. That is why they insisted Jonathan should not be probed.

In 1993, during the Presidential Debate on NTA Network service between Abiola and Tofa, Tom Ikim and Nduka Obaigbena were on the side of Tofa. They asked them a question on how to bring exchange rate down and stabilize Naira. Tofa said, he would peg Naira to Dollar rate. Abiola said a Glasgow Trained Accountant can never say he would peg Naira to Dollar. He explained that there are factors that forces exchange rate, you analyse the factors and work upon them to control exchange rate.

Container economist can say anything.

So how come Abiola was not a sucessful businessesman as a Glasgow trained accountant, but rather a government contractor that got his billions through sharp deals with his military collaborator paddies. Then from the billions set up so called businesses that were sustained through his cash inputs from his regular paddy paddy deals.
Show any one Abiola owned business that survived after his lack of government patronage and his later death. Abi how come his family claims he was owed billions by the state? No be contract?
There was nothing superbly smart about Abiola as a businessman other than he had good interpersonal skills, an extrovert that mixed with the powers that be and took good advantage of that to get sweet deals.
Abeg, use others to explain financial skills not Abiola. (God bless his soul).

Eriokanmi:
You're nothing but an olodo.

I'm an importer. I also export . Each time I'm paid in dollars on goods exported, I'd need to change the dollar to naira to pay salaries , sort overheads, etc. Then, depending on your capacity, you need to source loan to buy some materials needed to produce locally for export. In this case, the naira loan sourced would now be exchanged for dollar to buy those raw materials. I'd noq buy at black market or bdc rate. Invariably, there's no much gain when dollars are paid for goods sold overseas cos we're still going to get more dollars locally to buy materials overseas.

The problem I have with you urchins is, you're too emotional and most of you lack the right knowledge tackle pertinent issues. Liberate yourself please. Stop behaving like an illiterate.

Most of them are no bodies. People just given stipends to write crap online. People that do not know the concept of generating wealth. Of trading, adding value and turning ₦1 to 2.
All they know is to tax, fine, give bills from those generating the income. They are at best goverment officials eg lastma, local gov staff, vio, state inland revenue officials etc.
