Powered what millions of people excluding you leach that only destroys her eomonu with your buying and selling.

Below is how Lagos generated most of IGR courtesy of the civil servant the leach from the falling sun are barely visible in.

Lmaoo

Cooly100:
Lagos built by you alone...?

Why not build another Lagos in Ibadan

totit:
Lool

Lagos is the 5th largest economy is the whole of Africa and it's why you would rather die there and refuse to go home. Simple.

Use your head please

totit:
Truth is, the SE will never leave no matter how hard you try to convince them as their home is not that productive and not economically viable.

Statistic ally, they have low purchasing power.

The majority are into buying and selling.

The economy is powered by buying and selling.

Except for a few industries in Anambra nothing there to write home about hence their high level of migration for survival.


They barely pay taxes as confirmed yesterday in a case where 50% of taxes are in the pockets of street louts.


And above all, they have the highest poverty in the south.


So, how would they survive?

HBB1:
If Igbos leave, others will take up their spots

It is that simple!

You are so deluded!

When Igbos left in 1967, they ran back thereafter and not the other way round.

You are not so important.

I dare you.
If they born your father well, leave!

HBB1:
To start with, we don't go about telling everyone we are better than they are.

Eventhough we obviously aren't🤣

At the time we had Kingdoms extending beyond present day Nigeria, your ancestors were Bushmen living in the forest.

The Brits came and brought some enlightenment, which greatly helped the primitive lifestyle your people had.

We had Regional Governments and the South West was performing very well until your lot seized power and tried to keep it for yourselves.

Regional government was dissolved and an Igbo man instituted the unitary one of today.

Civil broke out, you would not leave alone, but chose to drag the oil-rich South-south with you.
This is one reason they also detest your agitations today.

Tell you what...

The South-West will do well without you.
Nigeria will do well without you.

You however, will not.

You have not even split, but you have madmen slitting the throats of your women on camera and shooting your sons.

About the South West's contribution, it seems your eyes or ears are paining you.

Or you think contribution is all about selling out of 2*2 kiosks.

Who controls IT/Tech?
Or the Afrobeats you will still vibe to today?
Entertainment/TV?
Finance?
Where are the best Universities in the Country?
The best Hospitals?

A successful Tech startup is worth a thousand-thousand of your 2*2 shops.

Do you now understand why you want to die in the 'South-Waste?'

Until then

Personally as one of those supposed idiots who celebrates the end of fuel subsidy, I would be glad if we could use that 25 billion for the subsidy instead of the House thieves

But this year we spent 3 trillion, plus 600 billion on subsidy. Government still owes NNPC 2.8 trillion subsidy money. 25 billion won't be enough even for one month of subsidy payments.

Might help fund a university or two better though

Migration flows in the direction of economic opportunities.

With the direction of migration at the moment, people in search of economic prosperity hardly choose the southeast as a destination.

That's telling enough. Only informal jobs like traders and transporters and manufacturing (JHow many people have the funds for that?) thrive in the southeast. Eg Go to Nnewi as a "Tech Bro", Data analyst, Architect, quantity surveyor, Event planner, 3-d animator etc and see if hunger won't finish your head.

Control that which you can control. You really are not helpless.

Only use low energy 5watt or not more than 10 watt bulbs.

When you buy fridges and /or freezer check for low energy usage or those with inverter. Same for AC. Be intentional about everything you do and you will see that things are manageable.

There is a lot of wastage in the use of electricity.

Don't you people know how to have decorum, just unnecessary noise on internet to the extent the foreigners are beginning to think that's how average Nigeria youths are .

Some weeks after the election, I was having a discussion with a guy, he actually believed Peter Obi won the election cos he was following their social media page.

Please , make una relax una muscle this is only politics, stop disgracing Nigeria youths on social media

Thank you

If I have anyone either siblings or friends that always say let me " discuss with my wife first " I will never relate with him again for life.

This is the result of a woke generation. Sad enough, some bandits above are commending Op for talking back on his father, this is the kind of society we now find ourselves. Because you are 18 and you pay family house rent, so you now have power to talk back at your father or come late at night, what happens if you are as rich as Wizkid? May be you will be asking your parents to prostrate for you to greet you every morning or you will be asking the whole street to lie down for you to walk on their back.
Anyway, in all you do, don't forget karma.

When the Central Bank of Nigeria used to set the value of the Naira and defend that value by artificially pumping Dollars into the market, you, as an ordinary citizen, did not benefit. It was another girl subsidy. But this time, the subsidy recipients were importers and people who wanted to ferry money out of Nigeria.

Last year, the CBN was projected to have spent $8 billion to defend the naira's value artificially. The year before, it spent almost $ billion. That is more than what Nigeria spends on infrastructure annually. And that money just flies out of our economy, benefiting traders and foreign investors rather than manufacturers.

It dissuaded local manufacturing of made in Nigeria goods and services because it almost guaranteed that imports would be cheaper. That is why Aliko Dangote had to close his tomato paste factory in Kano because Peter Obi could always import and sell cheaper, substandard tomato paste.

All that will gradually end with the floating of the Naira. Our reserves will no longer be used to defend the Naira. Those who wish to take Dollars, Pounds, Euros and Yuan out of the country can look for it where they can legally find it. Anywhere except the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Our reserves will be used to defend local production instead of foreign consumption. The price of goods in Peter Obi's Next Cash and Carry will rise because they are almost 100% imported.

The price of locally manufactured goods, like Innoson Vehicles, and Dangote Tomato paste, will also rise, but not at the same rate as imported goods will increase.

But you, as a citizen, will gain because the money previously used to defend the Naira will now instead be used to pay Nigerians a living wage, build infrastructure, and service the proposed student loans, amongst other things.

It is a win-win scenario. That is why nobody who loves Nigeria should attack this patriotic policy that all major Presidential candidates, except Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, promised to implement.

Every country with insufficient supply of dollars use their foreign reserves to defend their currency. It is not peculiar to Nigeria. That is why its called a managed float as against free float or hard peg. Also tomato paste and foreign goods in supermarkets do not account for a large percentage of Nigeria imports. Rather imported fuel, petrol chemical byproducts like resin, hdp, lldpe, raw materials, motor vehicles account for majority of imports. Irrespective of wat tinubu did, the greatest supplier of forex will still be the central bank tru oil and gas revenues. Reno is becoming desperate in all these obi, obi, obi.
