Angelfrost:
Any Nigerian earning such an amount and not living in comfort is clearly punching far above his financial weight.

That's an income over 70% of working Nigerians can only fantasize about.

Many of you just come online to pretend and needlessly grandstand.

That is why most Nigerians live a frustrated life. Truth of the matter is that people that earn less than that officially still spend more as money must drop by hook or crook. Your driver will sell your petrol or diesel, police will collect bribe, gateman will beg all the bank customers etc.

Britishcoins:
500k is just like 50k of 2023...

Today I don't even calculate my daily expenses, it can send man to early grave.... imagine those who depend on salary

You said it all, 500k today is nothing, that's tops, 3 days expenses for some of us and money no reach.

Yet when your fellow governor from nassawara wondered how you got the funding to build the airport you said it was money you found in the bank left by your predecessor.

seunmsg:
Peter Obi’s lies have finally caught up with him. Now that the Anambra state government has presented evidence of his debt and corruption, he should do the honorable thing and withdraw from the race.

If you believe Obi left debt of $123 billion then you may need to see a psychiatrist.
How much is the total income of nigeria along with the neighboring 6 countries, Oga it is not up to that amount.

nairalanda1:
Nigeria cannot provide a subsidy now, because we are so much in debt thanks to decades of bad leadership, not being a productive nation, and the high amounts of borrowing we had to do to keep subsides for 30 years longer than we should.

Any attempt to pay for a subsidy risks worsening our debt. It's already so bad, that we cannot benefit from the current oil price increases, because of debt servicing, which in turn is creating a massive shortfall in government funding leading to even more borrowing.

Most African countries have the same issue now.

Finally, we produce less than 1.7 million bpd. Revenue from that cannot pay subsides, and pay for everything else. Even when we were doing 2.3 million bpd, experts were saying the same thing.

No, this is not support for the usleess APC government by the way, this is a statement as to our current economic condition. No, I am not in support of looting, and no, I am not voting for tinubu next year, never voted for him, never even liked him. But here we are...economically. It's no use crying over spilt milk. I believe subsidy should have gone in 2012, by now we may have had savings galore to do some form of limited subsides.

Keep explaining for them. No money no money, yet one governor just declared spending $800m on an airport. A facility that will be under used.

If you know you know.

Oga so you sold land 6m, pocketed 1m and give 5m to your wife?

I will just advise Obi to be careful now that he is a political figure that is of interest. His family has to think properly about what they do because if they don't come for him, they will come for his family. It's not a surprise that Obi's wife is not visible in his campaigns.

Well said. I concur.

SocialFinance:
Funny family.

Husband use one watch and shoe for 50years

Wife use different Hermes bag and jewellery that can buy 100s of watches and shoes for outing

No wonder they govern a state for 8 years and turned it to poverty capital of Nigeria.

Oga what his wife does with her personal money does not define him, the man is wealthy and so is is family but he chooses a frugal lifestyle and that is his choice. Eg I personally I drive a Honda I bought 14 years ago, old jalopy, my madam a Yoruba woman drives a landcruser. It is my choice of frugality, I will not insist she lives like me, neither will I insist she does not spend her hard earned money.

Bayoonanuga:
Margaret obi will squander public funds once her husband become president

What part of not having office of the first lady don't you understand?

tobenuel:
Is helinues married?


A concerned nairalander

I doubt.

Bahamas95:
A desperate woman can do anything to get what she wants, once she gets it the contract is over.


A family friend is presently in that situation now, we all warned him but he didn't listen.

It might be different in this case.

Men, men, hold your ears, how many times did I call you?
Never place yourself in a disadvantage over your wife. Always make sure you take the advantage to be the bread winner if not according to gheghe, "had I known is the question of a fool".
How will you say you got the job opportunity but left it for your wife, you even went as far as selling your bolt business to buy a car for madam, lol.
Truth of the matter is that women are not built to acknowledge your manly sacrifices. We that have links to school business will tell you wella, you will see a man who has paid school expenses deligently, then only time the man has issues and his wife pays, the whole school will hear of how the man is usless, jobless and that she is the one carrying the whole home. Lol
I have written here of my guy who when apc entered and naija was getting rough they sold their assets, did US visa, they finally sold their suv to buy ticket, madam convinced Oga she should go first, that was the end of that marriage. They never saw again till the guy died years later, even before his death when his health started failing him we heard her brothers came to serve him divorce papers as she don move on over there.
Early this year, I met that my late paddies PA, that one told me his late bosses wife came into the country and called him to aid her logistics. Omo he said if you see how beautiful the woman is right now, that he skin de glow, she was constantly communicating with her new man, she stayed in high end hotel ie protea in ikeja and that one 4 points by Sheraton on the island, places my late paddy could never go to.
Guys wisen up ohh.

omoadeleye:



What's the meaning of "ASSORTED" riffles ??

Shaki, amo, fuku, abodi, edoh, roundabout, ponmo rifles😅

This one na Omo baba, likely political thug weh miss road while on assignment. Na them them ruling party alayes.

tiger28:
Is he lying?

My Dad didn't get paid for a WHOLE YEAR and A HALF. Worst of all, he was STILL required to go to work,leaving his home @ 5am and reaching home @ 8pm after Traffic.

Can you or your father do that for a year and a half WITHOUT salary

It was the NORM back then ALL OVER the country.

Adding to that was the regular fuel SCARCITY and different school stoppages because teachers were striking for unpaid salaries.

We still have a long way to go BUT this is the first time that Nigeria economy has been getting KUDOS from even Elon Musk, all major financial institutions and major business men and economists eg madam Ngozi, Elumelu, Gov Otti , Gov Soludo (opposition govs that used to be Financial TITANS)

Finally, do you know that Nigeria fx reserves is at its HIGHEST in about 2 decades?

Furthermore, the BIGGEST one, Nigeria stock is the BEST Performing stock in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!!
Pls google it, FIRST time ever!

I am a Northerner and not Tinubu fan BUT let's be truthful WITHOUT Bias.

Don't worry, shebi you are still under your father, when you leave your eyes will clear after facing reality. Ohh well you are a northerner so you will probably join civil service, police, army, customs aka government pikin.

I actually belive Nigerians are the most docile and easy to rule people in the world, the general selfishness makes it easier to oppress since everyone is all for himself.
These people will mess us up and still rub it in our faces with no consequence, funny thing is that you will still have people who have collected pittance to support them.
Where else in the world will such arrogance take place that the country wount shake?

And you think someone that begs like this has the intention to serve his constituency? He seems rather like someone food has been removed from his mouth, an employee who has been sacked. Someone who had gotten used to the soft life of a Nigerian politician, one his previous profession of acting could never afford.
Anyway he should have kissed the rig of the chief of staff.

Bobloco:
This should be very easy for Tinubu.

A first-class accountant. A master strategist. The man who, according to tata boys, built Lagos from scratch and tamed the Atlantic Ocean.

As President, his policies have ensured that he and the governors have more money, even if the masses are subjected to extreme poverty. The governors have more money.

So, facing Rufai one-on-one for a 50minute interview shouldn’t scare Tinubu.

Those around Tinubu should encourage him to attend this interview. After all, for a man who has supposedly conquered everything from Lagos to the Atlantic Ocean, surely 50 minutes with Rufai shouldn’t be the mountain he cannot climb.

He will rather eat his Fila (cap) than consent to the interview.

If he was in Naija that Dr will be even promoted to chief medical director, commissioner or minister of health. You will see PhDs, SANs, traditional rulers, spokesken, special advicers, online worriors defending the Dr and explaining reasons why the man does not have to know how to prescribe drugs or treat patients the normal way. They will argue that as far as the man has Dr badge on his cloth, as far as he has held stethoscope, as far as he had "chooked" injection before he is a medical doctor and if you don't agree you should go to court, and funny enough in Naija, Supreme Court will proclaim him to be a Dr. 🤣😂

Op who was your audience, abi did you just stand outside the man's house shouting your preaching for people inside their homes to hear, In which case you may be considered a nuisance?
There is a man that has being consistent for the last 10 years, he will stay at a spot every morning playing music and preaching while people commute, to me it is a waste of time because who listens? Who waits to hear his surmons, is that effective winning of souls, no.
How will you feel if an imam, a babalawo, a debia, guru maharaji etc stands in front of your house every morning holding a megafone and claiming to be preaching?

Congratulations to her🎉🎉
Hope the money was paid directly though, if not..

LordLicifer:
So because of your experiences with buying car parts you have concluded that the man is involved in the child abuse. can you not see that your opinion comes from the a hateful point. It wasn't even the man who sold you the car parts. How a topic about child abuse case connects with your buying of car part i fail to understand

The way you think baffles the mind

The point is that with some people, there is no low they wount go to make a buck.

Rapmoney:
See how you are just disgracing yourself because of lack of knowledge. The woman said she made 300 dollars but your brain has changed it to 300,000 dollars. Make Una dey try read. It wont hurt you to read properly.

I saw what he'd her 300k during her interrogation, unless the translation was wrong, Furthermore, do you think that woman will violate her child for a paltry $300?

nairalanda1:
That N187 was made possible by massive printing of naira and borrowing.

Fact is, we did not remove subsidy in 2012, when we should have. The result was that government was forced to borrow to maintain the subsidy. And that created a massive debt, and also forced the Buhari government to raid the forex reserves...just to pay for the subsidy.

The result was the subsidy being removed to at least allow the government have some spending money, otherwise things would have really been bad.

Most African countries charge as high as NIgeria, most even higher. Only five african countries have some form of subsidy on fuel, and even those, (apart from Libya that can pay for subsides and refinery upkeep without breaking a sweat because they have a very small population)...maintain it at the expense of debt. If all African countries subsidsied fuel like we do, even the oil producers, they would have collapsed economically ages ago.

Choose your wickedness...removal of subsidy with harsh price increases but the chance of improved domestic refining and more jobs, and no more borrowing to fund subsidy, or maintianing subsidy with the borrowing it entails.

Bro, keep explaining and understanding for politicians and government, seyi and the rest are not suffering or hungry neither are they living the life of endurance, tightening of belt, or managing hunger (as him papa talk). You say if all African countries sunsidized fuel they would have collapsed? Are they major oil producing coutries as we are? Oga we are a major oil producer, now we have refining capacity, why should we be paying $1 per liter of petrol or about $1.50 per liter of diesel? Does it make sense that we pay the same amount for petrol that the US citizens pay? How much is the gdp of the US compared to Nigeria, $70k compared to $1k? What is the average salary in the US $50k while that of Nigeria is N1.2m or $850. Is the math's adding up to you?

MonsterVerse:
good morning sir, please can you help me with data, am missing out on my gig please

Which network you de use?

Abeg, Oga you knew. We know the despiration of some of our brodas for criminality and seeking money by any means is real. The wife said she earned over $300k or N420m, where did he think that money came in form if he was not even the mastermind?
The quest for money by those folks ehh? My 60k I paid for compressor of which they sent me a repaired one that messed up my Ac system is still stuck in ladipo, once money enters their hands it never returns. Yesterday I needed a brain box for a Toyota hiace, they said price, I agreed, they said they will send someone to bring it, we pay for his transport, we agreed, next was that he called back that we should send the 155k first before the person comes, we said no, guess what they did not agree lol. Bloody fraudsters and thives, once you send the money they will send a crappy, faulty one, yor try to return it, they will say it was you that spoilt it hence your money is lost!
Bloody criminals group of people.
Guy you knew of the abuse of those kids, man up and take responsibility!

sharone21:
Wow, shocked at the comments.

I thought this is what several men do often but because this is a woman.

It's well.

Fair enough, the wife should move on, but she must not touch any of the late husbands property, his acoounts or assets. You think iwanyawu was unwise when he put it in his will that his young wife, once she remarried must loose access to all his properties?
A woman that moves on in such short time probably had the fellow hanging around before the death, even if not, which reasonable man will go after a recently widowed woman if not one that has considered her financial status? A man that will rush to marry her will plan that if she looses her life, all her assets will go to him as her spouse, what then happens to the kids left by her late husband?
This is why I always say men should enjoy, take care of them selves, why, you kpai today another man is climbing that wife and enjoying your money within a short time, money you were depriving yourself to save for the future of your family, that nice house with penthouse, it is in that pent house doggie will take place lol. Men are still alive they arr nacking their wives, na when man kpai them no go fire am well? Those days when we were younger, a neighbor previously married with 4 young boys divorced his first wife after a horrible incidence with robbers, he moved in with a new wife, they booze and smoke all day especially after the man had an incidence in Abuja where he fell and broke his legs so for the rest of his life was immobile. This new wife did not have kids for him ie olosho weh all the womb don fry.
This man later kpai, the woman sold the house, gave the sons 200k each (or so), the waka with her new bf, later she sold a mini estate the man had, by then the boys were wise enough to go to court. Many year later that estate is deserted because of the court case.

aydought:
Please don’t misjudge the woman in her present situation, only those in such circumstances can truly and practically know what she’s passing through. Taking the step of having a partner could be her way of having someone to share her pains with and probably not dying from depression. Loneliness kills silently.

You are not serious.
