It has been decaying from independence.

The problem with our economy in my opinion (corruption aside, which is a serious issue mind you)..is that our economy is based on the price of whatever we are selling. IN the 1960's it was agric and solid minerals...then from the 1970's oil took over and remained our main source of income.

Problem is, we do not set the prices. ANd the solutuion is that we use what we have to make things the world can use.

Tinubu has really not done much. WHat he has done is had his hand forced by the fact that at the start of his regime, debt service was eating up most of the avaialble revenue, once subsides for petrol and the dollar had been paid. He had to cut subsides (he has not removed subsides) to get more money. Yes, nice...like IMF even suggested.

But lipstick on a pig does not make it a beautiful woman. (It may improve the pig's looks a bit, but it is still a pig).

At the end, we still are not earning enough money, and cutting subsides can only go so far. APC , Tinubu's party promised that diversification would happen when they took over in 2015. At the end, they did not diversify, and TInubu has not yet outlined how he would diversify the economy. Then there is the low revenue from tax. Improving both things means harsh economic polices for the next decade...and APC wants to win elections...so at the end, they won't take the hard decisions needed.

We have to earn more money, and we can do that by being a exporter of manufactured goods and servicies, having a decent tax income and also having a proper anti-corruption effort, and cutting government costs.

When will you contest for presidency? Your comments are always on point

This is a good initiative.

A South African is on a Nigerian forum calling us criminals and all sorts of names.
Some one committed a crime instead of this South African to condemn the person, he tells us that he was not brought up properly by insulting an entire nation of over 220 million people spread over 500 tribes.
This South African will then claim he is not xenophobic.
Please my fellow Nigerians, judge this matter.

Seun and Mynd44, you people are not see this one oh.

What is ICJ's jurisdiction?
Has South Africa solved its own problems?
How will this judgment affect the war in Gaza?

And young man you can make your point without insulting Nigerians. You and your friend mzansicoolio always behave somewhat as if a Nigerian slept with your wife.

Dey cap 🧢 nonsense.

There is nothing weird about this, the calf has a congenital anomaly that's why it is looking like that.
Humans and animals cannot procreate. We can't procreate with chimps and bonobos, our closest relatives talk more of cows.

Unpredictable is a word that describes life perfectly. Life is chaotic.

atheistconverta:
Really? So what's the difference between you and an atheist that you were thanking God for saving you from? And all those books you claim to have read. To what purpose?

I said "then" Oga. I am a Christian now.

Jackanda1:
The bible says many shall fall away in the last days, please don't fulfil this prophecy.

When i went into atheism, i used to settle for the term 'agnostic', i just needed fews years for this demons to convert me to a militant atheist.

You're been decieved. A demon is telling your mind to be comfortable and settle inbetween GOD and atheism. But there is no inbetween. Its either you're for GOD or the devil. Its either
gathering with Jesus or scattering.

* I would advice you to start seeking for deliverance, ask for prayers against that demon hardening your heart, before its too late.


In addition, No matter what happens, make sure you don't blaspheme, your words are important to God.

*I could be attacked this night for warning you, like other times, but i would take that risk for you. Only consider what i have said.

Please read what I wrote up there. Especially the last word.

I think agnostic would be a better term for my beliefs then.

Omo OP bad oh!
"who is no stranger to failed relationships".

lomprico:
People don't change, they are who they are. You can only pretend but one day circumstances will expose your true self.

She is a hater and a fuking hypocrite

This tells me that you are stagnant in life.

My case was similar to yours.
I grew up in a Christian home, believed in Christianity. But then I left home, the things I thought I knew, turns out they were not that simple. I had someone with like Kobojunkie telling me all the reasons to not be a Christian, pointing out contradictions in the bible, telling me that christ never even existed etc and I started believing her. Then Facebook own join too, suggesting atheist pages and groups for me.
What saved me was that I stumbled on the case for christ book, a book that I highly recommend for new Christians and those in doubt. After reading the book and other books explaining why we can trust bible using sound logic, I began to see things differently.
Now I feel much more stable knowing that my faith is grounded in reality.

I pray you find the help you need.

But you shouldn't have brought this to nairaland because we have a lot of children here who don't know when to stop joking. They will definitely make fun of you.

People can change. People grow.
It's possible that life has shown her that it is unpredictable so she has learnt her lesson.

Fuckyoumod:
did you hear who was killed?

The head of Iran's intelligence was killed by Israel. This is enough for Iran to declare war on Israel but the shitty Persians would rather use proxies.

The intelligence chief of Israel can't be touch, not to talk about Iran killing him. Iran never baff to kill Israel's intelligence chief. That would mean the end of Iran.

Intelligence pass intelligence, an intelligence chief wey them kill like this na kpako.

Don't mind that guy.
I am waiting to see what Iran will do.

This is an old story na.

Make una no dey answer PrinceofSarcasm.

I have eaten enough garri to the extent that even if I don't eat garri again in my life, I have still eaten more than the average person.
I have also eaten so much golden penny jollof noodles that the smell of that noodles now irritates me.
That time, my friends will ask me why I don't put fish or meat in my meals, I will say I am going for "quantity not quality for now".
Well, I have gone beyond that now.
Truly "hard times be like sugar, without am the story no go sweet".

This Abuja thing surprise me oh!
Kidnapping at this scale in Abuja?
This is bad, very bad

nairalanda1:
Landing cost in October 2023 was N720

Price of fuel in Nigeria was between N580-700 across the country.

(Ye can't trust the government).

Nawa oh! The more you look, the less you see.
Thanks for the information.

nairalanda1:
Let's hope that Tinubu removes subsidy completely by then, so that the refinery can make a profit in the trillions.

Good job from Abia.

You mean it is not completely gone?

PROUDIGBO:
Dude, a revolution will either lead to resetting the order of things in Nigeria, or lead to the dismemberment of the country as we know it! Either option is preferable to the current situation where we keep on fooling ourselves by doing the same thing and expecting different results!

It's mind-boggling how any sane person can think reenforcing failure by keeping a failed political party in power and 'electing' a character like Tinubu can lead to a new dawn in all aspects of Nigerian life!

Looking at your moniker, I am sure you are an Igbo person, which might explain why you are calling for a revolution or dismemberment of the country. That being said, I asked for a name of a nation where revolution has helped the masses, no one has answered me.
Who is going to invest in a war-torn country?
The brain drain that we are complaining about will skyrocket.
Who will farm in a crisis?
Do you think you have seen poverty, just wait until the revolution you are calling for happens then you will see what true poverty looks like.
You people should learn how to think logically both long term and short term.
Did the Arab spring revolution help the average citizens?

That's great news, Edo has one already.
If we attack this refining of a thing like this, in 3 years time importation of petroleum products will be a thing of the past.
If we use this kind of energy to attack agriculture, security etc then the Nigeria of our dreams will become a reality little by little.
Not the yeye revolution those keypad warriors were calling for in the other thread.

Fuckyoumod:
Black man, they castigate and criticize the solutions of others, they will trash your solution, they will give you 1 million reasons why your solution will not work.

Oya, bring your own solution na, nothing.
They can't offer anything and have no solution.

Their solution is status quo.

I want to echo it again to you, THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA IS REVOLUTION.

No policie, no blue print or planning can salvage Nigeria. Because, the same corrupt people and system that messed up Nigeria are still in government.

You are talking like a child.
I asked important questions up there and you did not answer any.
This bravery you think you have is all because you are hiding behind a phone typing.

So what?
Why are you attacking the messenger instead of the message?

Prigidypogodo:
keep playing

Answer the questions as logically as possible.

Prigidypogodo:
revolt

What exactly will a revolution solve?
Do you think it is easy to start, sustain or experience a revolution?
Has revolution solved the major problems of any nation?
Is a revolution going to immediately increase food production?

I thank God for your life

PrinceofSarcasm:
This is a very low latency card. You should give it to someone for free.
Change title to free give away. This card isn't worth 5k even

Nothing is ever worth the price for you. At least you have not insulted this one.
