I used to pay N5,O00 under Jonathan. Now,,i pay N60,000 and I am still using generator.
It will never be well with anyone that,supported or voted for buhari.

Jonathan was the person who as far back as 2013/2014 signed this privatisation agreement and approved this phased increase in electric tariffs which you are seeing today. There isn't much Buhari can do to reverse it except the FG starts paying electricity subsidy to power companies..

The singer had called the man to inform him that he is one of the lucky winner of the ongoing zoom promo. The superstar who is the host of the show was startled when the man received his call and told him to get out that he is not peter Okoye.

He wrote on his Instagram handle:

In a country where almost half of its population are scammers, and where just about every single human with an active phone line has received scam calls before, why exactly should Peter or any normal Nigerian feel surprised that people doubt the genuineness of his call?

Even though it is true that there are paternity frauds in our society, the reality is it is not so much like how social media are publicizing it.

Nigerian dna market is unregulated, dna is your human footprint, your personal data. Dna is not only about testing paternity but it can be use for many things.

I believe there is a plot on Nigerians by some Dna tech companies in Nigeria to raise the discussion about DNA Test in our society because they want to create a DNA bank For Nigerians.

For instance, there is a company called 54gene in lagos that is building an African DNA bank, the company raised almost 15 million dollars from Bill and merinda gates foundation. The company claim that the Greater availability of African genomic data could lead to medical breakthroughs for the African’s 1.2 billion people.

As far back as 2019, the company has almost 60,000 dna samples of Nigerians in their Bank, in addition, the company is based in Washington DC and Nigeria.

How many of you are concerned about your privacy, don't let social media discussions fool you, some of these dna companies might be the ones sponsoring the discussion so that people can go for Dna test, soon they will gather your data and also sell it to the highest bidder in the United states or to law enforcement agencies.

People should know what they spread online, you might be claiming woke, understand that your privacy matters and that anybody who has control over your dna data has control over you.

Privacy? If someone has my DNA data, can you give me just one reason why that is something I should be worried about?

The person lying down to be the CIA's bi..ch is telling others to see a psychiatrist. Comical.

You actually need a native doctor, to cure you of the jazz whites did on you to make you an unquestioning donkey for their machinations.

Lol... when you finish barking, you should go yake your drugs.

Rossintii:
Oh please shut your trap.

I'm not one of of those who ''complain Nigeria is a useless country''. YOU ARE.

So, don't come here projecting.

And we are not so desperate for 'liberation' that we will succumb to the machinations and manipulations of FOREIGN INTERESTS whose IMPERIALIST INTERESTS cannot possibly align with OURS.

If you're too thick and dumb to see the basic logic of that stance, you need to go get a refund on your education, because it was years wasted.

I'm sorry sir, there's nothing wrong with my education; rather you should be the one to go check your psychiatrist for help.

The only reason Nigeria is and will continue to be a useless shithole nation is because there are too many Nigerians who reason like the Op.

Everyone sits in their homes complaining about how Nigeria is a useless country. But the very few people like Sowore who for 25 years have braved the odds and dared police bullets by trying to speak up, instead of being supported (or at least just ignored), they are being vilified and insulted by the same Nigerians who keep lamenting behind their keyboards everyday about how bad Nigeria is.

Oluwasaeon:
You mentioned he's been smoking when you people were younger. I guess you leave him and let him be, as long as it's in moderation. Weed is not bad. You're lucky to have such a gangster dad

Besides the fact that we were born into a world at a time when weed smoking is considered 'Irresponsible', has his weed smoking in any way or manner affected his ability to cater for his family as a man? If the answer is NO, then you should stop worrying yourself cos he's never going to stop. If you don't like it, the best you can do is make sure you don't ever indulge yourself in it. Leave the rolling stone to keep rolling; there's a lot of stress in Nigeria and some of these things are more like mental therapy for those who indulge without 'abuse'.

This same girl was reported to be 23 few years ago when she contested a beauty pageant; now she's celebrating 23 again with a car gift from imaginary fans.... Amazing how humans feel comfortable living fake lives - fake age, fake boobs, fake butt, fake hair, fake lashes, fake non-existent fans etc... But I guess one man's meat is another's poison.

Bless her!

Whiteangel1234:
Igbos are Travellers it make more economic sense to link the South East with this so called Buhari Train for easy accessibility all over Nigeria .

Thousands of Igbos travel in and out of South East Daily

The railways are expensive and are being built with loans, one at a time. In the coming years, more will be built, and it will get to the south east. For now, we only have 2 main ones; the one built in the FCT and the one built in the commercial capital Lagos.

Higher oil prices, higher revenue but higher petrol prices. I'm sure Nigerians would be visited with another pump price review by January.

As usual, big men hardly go to prison. Even when they do, they always come out early.

...and we still have myopic fellows who dont understand why the Naira is worth nothing today.

N400 billion!!!!! This would be the icing on the cake.

KayyDee:
It seems your advice will be good for yourself too.

Please, do pause and consider carefully before commenting on topics like this...
Especially if you don't live in PH/Rivers.

The fact that this is apparently being done only on the RIVERS STATE section of the express, will tell any discerning person that the road project was most likely initiated by the Rivers State Government (Of course, in hopes of getting refund from the FG in the future)
Of course, many State Government do this/or has done this in the past (just in case you are among those who believe that once a project is ongoing at a federal road, it must then be an FG project)

This is not to argue who is better between Rivers Gov & FG, or who should take the glory. It's just to set the records straight.

So, be well guided my friend.
Thank you.

Are you certain that the road is being constructed by River's state government?

By the way, the girl's crying video was so damn convincing that I fell for it 100% yesterday. If this girl can act so well, why waste your talent chasing clients at Hilton when you can try Nollywood? Oh I forgot, Nollywood wouldn't also give her good income except she still chases clients on the side at Hilton (like some other Nollywood babes). Uwa mmebi!

Fahdiga:
Terrorism would have been a thing of the past if only we have a lively president but since we have a lifeless president who believes that an attack against Boko Haram is an attack against the north, tell me how terrorists will not be running amok

Terrorism persists because we keep having clueless leaders; that explains why even the last 'more lively' and educated president spent 5 years scratching his head while terrorists ran amok and terrorism flourished. Incompetence and cluelessness are the problem.

persius555:
You will make a better engineer than an economist. How many times have LNG transported by rail involved in accidents? This project is just another egocentric mission laced with emotions and no financial objectivity.

Like I said in my previous post, even of we ignore the safety aspects, it is economically useless to transport gas via rail instead of building a pipeline.

kayjay69:
Have you bothered to ask yourself why this pipeline or do you want to be mischievous?

To answer your question, YES! this is my field, and I have a fair understanding of the economic and political importance of this pipeline for Nigeria.

The long term plan for this project is to develop the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline. This project has been in planning and paper stage since the 90's. The day Nigeria connects a gas pipeline to Algeria, that will be the day Nigerian gas gets to Europe. I do not need to explain to you the economic and political impact of Nigeria being a major gas supplier to Europe. If there's anyone who should be worried about this project, it should be Russia, as it could weaken their political/economic edge over western Europe.

But instead, what do we have on this thread? 99% of those opposed to the project on this thread are simply analysing from the myopic/ignorant point of view of tribalism; people just seem to get a hard-on whenever they hear the word 'North'... The other day I came across a video of some ignorant IPOB fellow analysing this project on Facebook and asserting with so much confidence how Buhari wants to dash Niger Deltan gas to his "Muslim brothers in Algeria".

CSTRR:
There is nothing wrong with his proposal.

It would kill two birds with a Stone and a more prudent use of resources.

You want to transport gas via rail, compressed and liquefied gas? In Nigeria?.... no my brother, you arent killing 2 birds with one stone, rather you're killing 1000 humans with one articulated bomb.

Even putting safety aside, rail or road are the most inefficient means of transporting gas; rather than making prudent use of resources as you think, you would be wasting resources by doing that. Rail or road or even ocean vessel transport of gas only become useful when its absolutely impractical to construct a pipeline.

persius555:
It will make more sense if the loan is channeled towards completing the North to East rail section. That way, LNG can be conveyed by rail to and from the Niger delta to the north. Don't forget the same rail will serve dual purpose as goods can also be transported to and fro.

The problem with this government is not availability of funds but the wastage of available funds. We are digging Nigeria's economic grave with all these Chinese loans flying all around. The Chinese only want to create economic annex in Nigeria. We should be smart with loans.

You're suggesting that gas should be transported via rail instead of pipelines, and at the same time, you think it is the government that is clueless.

persius555:
LNG transportation is a global thing. On the scale of exposure to disaster, it is below 3%. The US have been shipping LNG via LNG vessels over the high sea to Europe for years. This accounts for 12.5% LNG supply to Europe. The commercial viability of this project at a time when the economy is already depressed should be our concern.

This project, if completed to Algeria, easily passes as the most economically viable project Nigeria has ever executed with any loan.

I just shake my head at the level of misinformation and outright ignorance oozing off this thread. A lot of people on this thread have zero clue in what the project is about; all they needed was to just hear the word 'North', and boom!!! Mass hysteria...

kayjay69:
This country is finished.

There are thermal power stations all located in the South of Nigeria that require Gas to produce electricity.

Rather than invest this kind of money in building a gas infrastructure for present and future thermal power plants, the federal government led by the Fulani elite prefers to spend money on an unnecessary project similar to the kaduna refinery.

I say again, this country is finished.

You want "Gas Infrastructure" but you think a major "Gas Pipeline" of this nature is useless?

Kondomatic:
Being brought up in a rich home doesn't automatically make one mature, also some people can be educated and rich but still a child in heart. Sometimes you will see one big girl dating a small boy like that and you will wonder what she's doing with him, it's because, though she's a big girl physically, she's still a child inside and will connect better with younger ones.

Not sure I understand how a 'rich girl' liking a person you dont expect her to like, amounts to immaturity.

Orubebe01:
commendable but expensive. how can I pay between ₦3000, ₦5000, or ₦6000 from Ibadan to Lagos depending on the class I chose. I thought train is the cheapest means of transportation.

Ibasalin:
Yes! is the cheapest in every sane country around the world but not in Nigeria

For passenger transport, trains aren't cheaper than buses anywhere in the world. Would be interesting if anyone can kindly point out one single developed country in the world where trains are actually cheaper than buses for passenger service.

This particular misconception (that trains are cheaper) seems to be very very widespread amongst Nigerians and I keep wondering where the idea came from... Maybe the idea came from these Bangladeshi trains which the poor hang on to.

sw:
The amount of funds used in setting up d below rail tracks and d coaches not up to 1/4 of what Nigeria spent. Despite that, compare the quality to China refurbished coaches been celebrated.

Naija wake up from your slumber. Stop celebrating mediocrity.

The picture you put up there looks like a monorail with miniature wagons used for local transport within cities, but you expect it to cost same as intercity standard rail trains?.... How can you expect okada to cost the same as a car?

Sanchez01:
1. The story isn't about the fame or money. Oge is a reserved person and took on the identity of Kemi during the entire documentary.

2. She caught her boyfriend who is also a BBC staff in a compromising situation with Kiki. Sadly, the guy broke up with her not too long after. Another of her trusted friend whom she liked also got down with Kiki. Somehow, those ones influenced her caving in the more during the whole thing.

3. She is not just hurt by Kiki's claim over her sweat, the fact that that one person did her repeatedly (career, fame and man) got to her for a long time.

4. She spoke up about the SFG documentary in November but got bullied by fans of Kiki.

5. While Ruona was trying to make the world recognize Oge, feminist coalition members have been bullying Oge deliberately because she decided to tell the world that she caught Kiki Mordi with her man. Meanwhile, Kemi Olunloyo had revealed that Kiki Mordid ended Oge's relationships since last year.

6. Apparently too soft for social media, the bullying got to Oge that feminist coalition and Kiki Mordi stans suggested she took both cyanide and ricin when she suggested which to take.

7. She had been battling depression for a while before the bullying within the past few days. But bulk of it was because of her relationships and then the recent documentary coming to light.

hmmm... na wa!.. thanks for breaking it down.

I've been struggling to make sense of this story. If she invested so much in the sex-for-grade documentary and Kiki seems to be the one getting accolades, is that the reason she wants to die? What exactly did the Kiki lady do?

madmohamed:
I'm tired of this bridge. There is other bridge all over the country but u can't here them telling you buhari is working why only when this man do something he suppose to do it becoming a favor to nndi Igbo. The guilty conscience is killing Nigeria about what they are doing to nndi Igbo. We are asking common 1.5 cases bridge for 30 years that is evil the government should apologies for for nndi Igbo for bad policy against south east.

In response to the bolded portion of your comment, the only reason this bridge is continuous topic of discussion and mockery is because of the brand of hatred some some Igbos have for Buhari. There's nothing wrong with anybody liking or hating any political leader, its simply an expression of one's right, but when some people start allowing the hatred eat into their rationality, then things like this become a topic of discussion. An example of what I mean is the comment of the fellow you quoted who basically claims Buhari has not and will never carry out any project in the SE, and that the 2NB is only being constructed because of America. Ridiculous comments like that is the reason people usually pick this bridge as a subject of mockery against Igbos.

MINORU:
Who told it's bubu that complete it

Good luck paid for all of this

Wake up guy

This delusion is truly monumental. I'm sure Goodluck is even the one paying my salary today.

Cjrane2:
Obviously the gratitude for the continuation of this project after 2015 should go to America.

The highly nepotic despot would NEVER have funded a bridge in an area of Nigeria he openly professed so much hatred for "not voting for him"

Meanwhile, the other infrastructural projects (Expressways) built in the north and west with the $311 million dollars Abacha's loot will not be tolled. But this bridge built between the East and Midwest will be tolled. Go Figure!

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-enters-trilateral-agreement-nigeria-and-jersey-repatriate-over-300-million-nigeria-assets

America thank you oo.... If there's anything I've learnt in the last few years, it's the fact that hatred breeds a special typr of mental illness really...

Meanwhile Buhari wasn't the one who conceived the idea of tolling the bridge; it was the one who claimed to love the SE so dearly that placed the toll.
