Hello oo

Trump was stopped by his own so he dare not press the nuclear code. Did America and Israel say they will launch nuclear weapon?

If the table is the other way, Iran wouldn’t hesitate to press the nuclear button. By the way, seems you supported the terrorist attack against Israel 3 years ago.

Iran hasn't invaded any country since WW2 despite their military capabilities and despite their massive stockpile of ballistic missiles. But somehow, the world has been made to believe they're so unstable, so uncontrollable and so irrational, so much so that they would instantly use nukes the very moment they lay their hands on it.

Meanwhile, the USA literally has the largest known stockpile of nukes and other devilish weapons of mass destruction. This same US has attacked and bombed 50+ sovereign countries since WW2 and has directly and indirectly caused the death of multiple millions through invasive wars (the greater majority of victims being innocent men, women and children, wasted as collateral damage). This same US also holds the world record as the only ones in history to have used nukes on a civilian population, and this act happened TWICE in history. Need I even mention that the US is also known to have used banned chemical weapons to wipe out entire villages during the Vietnam invasion.

Despite these, I have since birth been made to believe the USA has a right to own (and even use) nukes while also unilaterally dictating who should and shouldn't own nukes.

If there's anything I find really amazing about the USA, it has to be their unmatched ability to brainwash and control the mind of the world. 🙌🏽

How much is it in dollars?

I didnt ask you about the exchange rate here, rather I asked that you simply mention the CAPITAL projects, completed or ongoing in the last 3 years, that are worth the N80 trillion borrowed so far...


The Buhari government also repeatedly justified its insane borrowings by claiming they were for capital projects. At the end, we all realised it was all a lie; rather possibly over 90% of the funds borrowed by buhari were for subsidy and salary payments and stealing.

Now Tinubu clearly isn't paying the subsidies that swept off over 90% of buhari's borrowings; nevertheless, Tinubu has borrowed more in 3 years than what Buhari borrowed in 8 years. So abeg, where are the capitial projects completed by Tinubu that can account for the N80 Trillion?

How can any normal person stand to defend this devilry?

Parachoko:
Nigeria was borrowing to pay for subsidy before Asiwaju became the President

Under Jonathan, we were borrowing to pay Salaries, borrowing to pay for subsidy, Pension, and also borrowing to build projects

Under Buhari, we were borrowing to pay subsidy on fuel, and also borrowing to pay salaries, pensions and also borrowing to build projects


Under Asiwaju, we're not borrowing to pay pensions or salaries, we're not borrowing to pay for subsidy, we're only borrowing to spend on Capital Projects.

I expect Sanusi to know there's no problem borrowing to build capital projects

Can you kindly point out the capital projects that have been completed with almost N80trillion in borrowings in just 3 years?



"We are borrowing for capital projects, we are borrowing for capital projects!!" This sounds like a beautiful nonsense excuse the government is using to deceive undescerning people. These capital projects that are worth N80trillion, where are they located?

Without digging into much details, for a person like Tinubu to sack someone like Edun, it means Mr Edun was doing something right.

That plaque is it real or ai generated? Cos what manner of fkry is that hailing yourself as ex governor and minister.

I just sighted the plaque now... damnnn

Just like in 2023, the APC is relying on widespread illiteracy and poverty to win the election again.

Mattswaggz:
But in this case you aren't repenting in heart.... it's just because you've met your match.

It's never too late to 'have wisdom'...

If I foolishly followed someone in the past to a useless battle which doesnt concern me, there's no shame in retracing my steps and avoiding another senseless battle.

By the way, what exactly is the point you're driving at?

Mattswaggz:
You mean the same robbery you guys have been carrying out together of which proceeds built you mostly as in this case or what?. .

Because I joined him to go rob before, that doesnt mean I don't have the right to repent and refuse to join in further robbery operations.

Mattswaggz:
Forgetting that their weak and would might need the US someday?. .

Because I may one day need the help of my classmate who is a blood sucking cultist and ruthless gangster, that doesnt mean I would have to accompany him if he invites me to one of his midnight robbery operations.

When he needs help in reasonable things, I will surely come through for him, but just not for banditry.

Mattswaggz:
European woke leaders are hell bent on being politically correct in this war.......but most of them are failing to ask themselves the big question which is "if roles were changed would the other side even bother about being politically correct"?. .

The truth is that European leaders for the first time in a very long time, surprisingly chose not to be foolish spineless puppets of the US who would be dragged into one of the most useless, senseless and unnecessary wars of the decade.

Betterthanwalki:
So the rate of our economy has been bastardized this much? In 2016 this car Mazda 626 use to be 700k toks and 2022 It's 1.7m even negotiable, the post is here on nairaland.

And now I'm about to buy this car and it's now 6.8m toks. Is the country this bad? How can a normal legit person raise reasonable amount to purchase a year 2000 car.


Country is gone

Funny how some persons foolishly brag about how wonderful this regime is because allocations to state governors has increased by under 60%....

Meanwhile the exchange rate has tumbled by almost 500% and prices of basic goods have increased by 500-1000% in the last 3 years...

UrVillageChief:
Nobody is here to argue religions with you and nobody is saying religions started racism or vice versa, I was only educating you on this very one being discussed. This very particular one is about two Muslims (the Arabs and Africans) and you claiming it has nothing to do with religion is not only silly but false as we all know the Arabs believe they are better Muslims than the Africans the same way the northerners think they are better than the southerners. Now, here is how it concerns the religion. A good religion should have intervened and corrected this anomaly a long time ago. In case you don't know, it's extremely difficult to marry an Arab Muslim woman even as a devout black African Muslim man. Now you know. Next time, contribute only to discussions that aren't above your mental capacity, thank you.
Again, this very one has one thousand and one things to do with religion since it involves two group of Muslims (the Arabs and the black Africans)

Religion is religion, racism is racism!

Sorry you're not going to succeed in dragging me into the pit of bashing one religion or the other when clearly the core issue we're talking about isn't tied to a particular religion.

UrVillageChief:
I like how you keep lying to yourself about this very topic. I love how you're pretending to not know that even in this our own Nigeria, a typical northern Muslim thinks he is more Islamic and pious than his southern counterpart. A good religion should be able to eradicate this. I'm not with any of the two religions but this is another area where Christianity triumphs. A southern Christain pastor isn't superior to those in the North and nobody can claim to be the head of all Christians in Nigeria by the virtue of his region being the best or the first to receive the religion.
Let's stop being economical with the truths, it's annoying.
The same way a northern Muslim thinks he's more Muslim than his southern counterpart and believes that no one except the sultan should be the head of Muslims is how the Arab Muslims think they are superior to the blacks and yes, a good religion would have addressed this. This should have been corrected since the days of Bilal, the first caller of the adhan

*Yawns*

I made my point clear, I'm not here to argue religion but racism.

Racism isnt an evil restricted to any religion. Some of the worst form of racism and racial cruelty humanity has ever recorded was perpetrated by people who tightly held bibles in their hands.

Western slave traders who inflicted some of the worst form of racism against blacks did so with bibles in their hands while preaching religion. So I'd be swimming in the same ignorance if I fall for the lame trap of trying to paint racism as a Christian vs. Muslim matter.

tishbite41:
There's naked racism in the Quran

What does that mean?

My point is that the worst form of racism ever experienced in the world were justified and propagated with religion. So on this issue, this shit has nothing to do with religion.

Sonnobax15:

A religion that sees people of the same faith as less and inferior simply because of their skin complexion .

That ain't no religion, but ,a cult of the highest order.[quote author=Helinuss post=138873230]Very funny religion. The Arabs are terrible racists

[/quote]Racism actually has nothing to do with religion. Just stupid ignorant people being ignorant... and this ignorance exists everywhere, regardless of the religion.

These psychos just making life difficult for everyone with their ego driven decisions.

yarimo:
but constitution mandate peter obi to only react or condemn anything outside south east states

Only willfully blind or selectively dumb people keep repeating without evidence, this nonsense talk about Obi not reacting to things that happen in the SE.

Prove to the world that you arent in one of the 2 categories I mentioned above by pointing out the notable event in the SE which Obi ignored.

AsomughaChuks02:
Today, 17th March, 2026, Governor Professor Chukwuma Soludo CFR will be sworn in to office for a second term with pomp and pageantry all well deserved. He earned this honour after Ndi Anambra overwhelmingly gave him our mandate 21/21 with all his opponents in the election losing their local government areas while some like ADC and LP candidates even lost their polling units. Peter Obi the former governor lost his own polling unit to APC.

Now that the elections are behind us, today marks a new cycle of 4 years of the Solution is Here administration. On Sunday 15th March, a thanksgiving was held to thank God for the last 4 years and the next 4. Prominent Anambra sons and daughters graced the event including former governor Chris Ngige. Noticeably absent was Peter Obi who may have allowed his bitterness to get the better of him. Though in the country, he was a no-show.

Let's hope he will overcome his bitterness today and show up like the gentleman he pretends to be!

As a former governor of the state and as the most infuential politician from the SE, if he wasnt invited, Obi will be silly to gate crash a formal state event where he wasn't invited.

OBI never harboured any ill-thoughts against Soludo, but Soludo appears to lose sleep and bitterly run his mouth whenever he hears Obi's name. Perhaps he's just jealous of OBI's unprecedented popularity and amongst Nigerians.

fergie001:
Omoyele Sowore at the Federal High Court after his cyberbulling suit was adjourned to next month

Sowore confidently labelled every other person a thief, but obviously couldn't use the same tag for OBI. Rather OBI's "crime" is merely being in the same party with people he calls thieves.

givedemwotowoto:
Dangote has already reduced his petrol price due to public outrage and people asking tough questions, because everything I described was possible, while some people are still online explaining and defending nonsense

Defending?

I only explained basic economics 101 to you on why the price increased and you think that's "defending"? Well, it's not my fault if the elementary explanation I gave flew over your head for you to term it 'nonsense'.

There are several avenues for Dangote to reduce it's price if it wants to, they can simply choose to reduce their 'profit margin' and that can help reduce the price. But my point was that if NNPC chooses to sell crude cheaper than global prices to Dangote, then that's a form of subsidy. That is all I said, but if your brain chooses to interpret this as me 'defending' the price rise, then I cant really help you.


...by the way, the ever greedy Dangote didn't reduce his price because of any public outrage or tough questions, he reduced his price cos global oil prices dropped in the last few days.

givedemwotowoto:
This one is different from subsidy payments. Let’s use a simple Math:

You sell tomatoes produced from your farm. It costs you N500 to produce each basket. You sell each basket for N1,000 locally. In the international market, you sell $2, that’s the global price.

There is flood somewhere in Australia where a lot of tomatoes are also produced, so demand abroad pushes global price to $4.

You still produce it for N500, nothing changed.

As a tomato company funded with the tax money of your community members, will you raise the price for locals to N2,000 just because the global price changed, even when your N500 production cost didn't change?

Yeah but if the company keeps its products at the same price, there's an 'opportunity cost' for that, and it's still a form of 'subsidy' or 'under-recovery' (which is the fancy term the NNPC under Buhari tried to use to mask the term 'subsidy'.

If there's an opportunity to sell at N2000 and make a profit of N1500 per basket, but the tomato company chooses to keep it's price at N1000, that additional profit of N1000 which the company forfeits to keep prices low for its community is still referred to as 'subsidy' in economics.

advanceDNA:
So what is wrong with subsidy sir?
What is wrong with you as a citizen benefiting from your own common wealth…. Baba u pple should not be brainwashed by ur own goverment into to thinking that subsidy is an abomination ….. its a strategy of this govt because they know its the only way to truly give back to the pple…

I think Nigeria has grown beyond the subsidy argument. My concern is what the government should be doing with the funds allegedly saved from subsidy removal, not about reintroducing subsidy payments.

givedemwotowoto:
Nigeria doesn’t spend N1 in crude oil production, the oil companies do, and they will get their profit from their own share of crude. Nigeria sets its own price when they receive their share of crude, about 1 million barrels per day. If they sell to their international market, they must sell at the prevailing international market price. If they sell locally for local consumption, they can sell at a lower price.

Nigerians consume only 30% of Nigeria’s share of daily production. They still have over 60% to sell globally at the prevailing international market price, so what’s the problem? Why are already suffering Nigerians paying for the blockage on the Strait of Hormuz?

What you're asking for is basically 'oil subsidy'. The only way to keep pump prices low when it's expensive everywhere else is by subsidising.

If global oil price rises to say $100 and NNPC is instructed to sell to Dangote at $70 to keep petrol prices low, what that means is that Nigeria will be losing $30 for every barrel of oil sold (i.e. govt. paying a subsidy of $30 per barrel). So if 327,000 barrels (Nigeria's daily consumption amount) is sold to Dangote daily at $70/barrel, that's equivalent to ~$10million daily in subsidy to keep local petrol prices low.

givedemwotowoto:
This is a rejoinder to: Petrol Price May Hit N1,800 In Nigeria- Refiners Warn

20% of global oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz. We get it.

But here are the facts:

1. Almost all of Nigeria's crude oil is sweet crude.

2. Dangote Refinery has the capacity to process 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

3. Nigeria's daily consumption of crude oil is 327,000 barrels per day (or 52 million liters per day).

4. This means Dangote Refinery can process 100% of Nigeria's daily consumption locally.

So for the defenders of fuel price increase, explain to us why there is fuel price increase at Nigeria's petrol stations.

Before you come with Canada argument, let me preempt you:
Most of Canada’s crude is heavy crude and almost half of the 16 refineries can’t refine heavy crude, so the crude oil needs to be exported to the U.S. for refining. Because it is exported abroad, global oil price will affect it: you export at a high price due to demand, you import at a higher price.

Dangote buys the crude which he refines at the global oil price. So if the price of crude rises, Dangote also increases his prices.

I'm actually happy for Reno... The man has hustled tirelessly and shamelessly for this role. Would have been too embarrassing if he was dumped like El Rufai.

Goo0dHardDick:
Iran has nuclear weapons and they were disturbing USA with it, ranting how they were going to destroy America and others.

For 5 years, the late Iran supreme leader has been boasting until Trump had his time. It didn't even take up to 48hrs before they killed him asap, despite his nuclear weapons. Lol dey play.

Iran nuclear weapons are by far greater in numbers than NK that has literally nothing. USA has the most nuclear weapons in the world, followed by China, Russia, Iran and others. Nk is in the last or so. So how on earth would they withstand USA or Israel? I don't understand.

Oga NK will be reduced to ashes in 24hrs if Trump or Israel Reason their matter. Dey play

Lol.... I even thought you were knowledgeable in the subject you were discussing and arguing all over the thread. You dont even know the difference between 'ballistic missiles' and 'nuclear weapons'

If Iran had actual nuclear weapons, nobody would have dared to fire a single shot of even BB pellets into their airspace.

Goo0dHardDick:
This dude won't last 72 hours if USA or Israel reason his matter.

However the battle is against those islamic terrorists not Kim Jun

But that's exactly the point. No matter how much they hate him, no one dares to "reason the matter" of an unstable person with nuclear laden ICBMs.
