PoliticsRe: Drone Will Be My Defence Minister - Sowore, AAC Presidential Candidate by ogascomax: 2:31pm On May 29
brightzstart:
But there's nothing silly about what he said.
The use of drones will greatly reduce our reliance on the use of Able bodied soldiers.

That way we can attack actual terrorist hideouts without having to risk human lives.
We can even have military drone centers on most highways as their response time will make it harder for kidnappers to operate on our roads.
Think about it.
What he said was purely nonsense. Even China with technology won't say that. How can drone be a defence minister. It doesn't even make sense at all. Can a drone attend meetings, go on conferences, engages people.
What he should be saying is that he will deploy drones heavily in the fight against insecurity.
Drones cannot be given a personality.

Baba, the problem with most black people is poor reading:
Also, politicians have made u believe u must suffer, manage life until u die grin
How much is inverter? Hahaha, bro, to get inverter to power at least two AC, such setup will cost u more than 10m. Your present spent 15b on solar setup. As usual, una go resort to manage life.
Read the article again, the article is talking about the reality of the current economy. It says, with 30m per year before, u can live a very comfortable luxury life, high standard of living.
But not anymore. U cant achieve such standard in today's economy. That is the point of the article.
Carry a wife, a husband and maybe two kids fly go to vacation to South Africa here, or morocco, and see if u wont burn more than 7m grin
Like I said, to live a high standard of life with such income now, u will struggle, unlike before, u wont struggle. That is the point.
And the fact that more than 70 percent of Nigerians dont see such money shows that naija is a very poor country, does not dismiss the fact of the notion.
If you are to argue that such money can give you a luxury life prior to Tinubu administration I won't argue that with you. If you are comparing now and few years ago I still won't argue. If you said that the article only compare now and then I won't still debate that.
My only argument is that with that money you will also live a good life now. You won't spend 10 millionaire to give you an inverter that can power 2 AC's. They are AC's for inverter. You can only install inverter once.
While I agreed to your argument based on the article I also introduce my own take that with such amount most people will live a nice life, they will buy properties and even build house with such an amounts. That makes it a good amount too. An amount that 75 percent and more cannot earn makes it something good.

You and your fellow evil northern born to rule are the ones behind the Fulani led terrorism and insurgency ravaging the northern part of the country.

Your greed and desperation for power is why you’re sponsoring the insecurity all over your region. You have absolutely no value for the sanctity of human life. We saw how you played evil politics on the grave of Deborah and we are now witnessing how you are now trying to use the insecurity you’re sponsoring to score very cheap political points.

You all have failed. Your evil agenda will be defeated and Nigeria shall win the battle against terrorism. You will never become the president of Nigeria and power will remain in the south till 2031.
You go just sit down and be typing rubbish with that your head. Insecurity was sponsored by Tinubu and his gang to tarnished Jonathan's government. You think all of us are fools. Your folly will not work sane mind like mine. Tinubu was part of the insecurity and during Buhari's time that insecurity and terrorism that Tinubu and his alley in the North formed became a booming industry which they couldn't fight again. Under Tinubu it continued and it's becoming worst by the day but because of the nonsense work they gave you to be defending folly you will always be here castigating and talking rubbish.
I am in Niger Delta and if our politicians decided to create a bandits is it not in the power of the government to ensure that they were destroyed. When ESN were formed who destroyed them that we don't hear of them again. Just be there talking nonsense in this forum everyday. With the cheap propaganda job that they have created for you online.

Bla bla bla. The article says 30m a year can still make U struggle.
Do U know how much U need to install an inverter that will power at least two AC? Some of U just blab here.
The article says U can live off 30m present if U are ready to drastically reduce your standard of living which U were used to before.
Before the present administration, 30m per year is enough to make U live a very comfortable life. Not anymore.
Have U tried vacation with two kids, a wife and your self. How much does it cost now? Or U don't assume that vacation is part of living well?
I just dey laugh Una for this country.
Even taking local flight with your two kids, wife and your self, for a return ticket, U may need to cut down to just once trip par year.
Look, humans can live off any amount, including 500k per year. The post simply said during this present administration, U will need to struggle if U want to maintain the quality of life 30m per year gave U before this present administration. Remember, for 30m income, U will be paying govt alone over 8m as income tax grin
The only way to survive on that income is to drastically reduce Ur standard of living in this present reality grin You can't live how U used to live.
Cho cho cho won't work here. The article never included tax you just imported that in. How much is inverter that you can't do with such income. Like I said just say you want to live a life of luxury. They are places in Nigeria good places that you can take family and children to. Must you travel to Europe for a vacation. They are African countries you can go on vacation. It's all about planning and you cannot be travelling up and down.
If you compare by administration you can say inflation now is high but that does not mean that it has eating so much that you cannot be comfortable.
More than 75 percent of Nigerians don't have that amount yearly and that is what you are seeing as a small amount.
I hail you.

He might not be even earning that. Telling me that 2.5 millionaire can not give you a good life in Nigeria. How na. Except you want to be wasteful. You will live satisfactory and by the time you start investing what you will end up saving later. I can save 17 millionaire for that money yearly.

U are speaking from the mindset of poor!
30m supposed to make u live well, but due to inflation, u cant anymore. 30m supposed to place u as a middle class, but due to the situation of the country, u arent even close to that.
By the time u fuel ur car, fuel ur gen, pursue 24/7 electricity, eat healthy fruits, live in comfortable area, pay children school fee, use quality health care, eat good foods that are healthy, baba, u don drain already. If u come add flight for ur family, vacation, u are finished. Can u now see?
Some of u dont understand the post and it is basically due to poverty
It's not about poverty just say can 30 millionaire give you a live of luxury. You just want to be wasteful. Who told you that 30 millionaire will not give you all that. They are standard and quality life you can still have. They are good places you can live. You can eat healthy with that money. Your children can go to nice school with it. Do you want to give birth to community.
You think out of the box. Get an inverter. They are people living well without such an amount. They use that amount to live below their means. It's people who are not yet earning some level of money right now that comes with unnecessary expectations that think this way. You can plan even a vacation once or twice a year.
30 millionaire means you are earning 2.5 millionaire monthly. And you are there talking about poverty you are not just serious at all. Many people are building houses without earning such.
You guys go just come online to impress who with fantasy.

We are still talking same thing. What did Kwankwaso got in the entire North West that made you think he will do anything different. Someone that could not pull votes for himself will pull for Obi. What is more delusional than that. You think all of a sudden he will become a magnetic field.
Kwankwaso is only supporting Obi for his own agenda by 2031 so that Obi can return the favour through the Obidient support.
Don't think I am being emotional, no. I am only appalled by your fellow Obi supporters thinking.
BusinessRe: Dangote Faces Price War As NNPC Backs Fuel Imports by ogascomax: 5:02pm On May 26
MiddleDimension:
We already do.

Which one? Education!

Education is not cheap anywhere in the world including in Nigeria. If we pay the meagre amount we pay at the universities and in some cases, pay nothing at the primary and secondary levels, then it is because the government HEAVILY subsidizes it.

What we say we are not paying again, is the subsidy on petrol and such products; it is too expensive and we cannot afford it anymore.
There is no nation in the earth that primary education is not free. In most of those countries their education is far better than ours. The education systems in most countries are far better and cheaper than Nigeria education and it's only expensive to foreigners not to their citizens because it's heavily subsidies or it's based on students loan which when they start working government begin deducting such money.
Let me educate you. In UK schools are free for those who can't afford it until University graduation. They only start paying when they begin working.
So don't just come online and say what you don't know.
In addition In the USA, government subsidies span multiple sectors, primarily taking the form of direct cash payments, tax breaks, subsidized loans, and grants. The largest subsidies target Healthcare (Medicare/Medicaid), Energy, Agriculture, Education, and Housing.

What is our government doing for us, please tell me.

Obi supporters are highly delusional. Their thinking is beginning to irritate me. Is it that they are daft or they are deliberately living in folly.
How can they be thinking that Kwankwaso is a competition for Atiku for Northern votes. Kwankwaso that could not give himself votes outside Kano is who these Obidient are relying on.

NW is not going to give Tinubu the number of votes he got in 2023 with Buhari gone and Kwankwaso now in serious power play

Northern leaders and business moguls will be secretly backing Kwankwaso knowing this contest is really between PO/Kwankwaso vs Atiku

Among the 3 major candidates, who do you think will get the biggest financial backing from moguls like Dangote? Who do you think gave the green light for Kwankwaso to work with PO?
You be truly an ignorant person to think Kwankwaso will give you votes. It's sad seeing people that think this way. Like are you really o....k
Kwankwaso that Obi did better in the North is who you are hoping for.
By now sense should be telling you that Atiku will sweep the entire North both East and West. The only challenge Atiku has is Southern Nigeria.
Obi will fail badly this time.
Tinubu will steal most of his votes with the aid of the governors except in SE.
BusinessRe: Dangote Faces Price War As NNPC Backs Fuel Imports by ogascomax: 3:16pm On May 26
nairalanda1:
grin grin grin grin grin

1. Saudi uses about 60 billion dollars, which is way above our budget of 40 billion dollars for this year, to keep fuel cheap. Unless you want us to take our entire budget, borrow 20-30 billion on top, and use it to fund subsidy for fuel so that we can all have cheap fuel, while salaries go unpaid and projects go unfunded, and everything grinds to a halt, but hey, you got cheap fuel that you cannot pay for now...lol......you better not bring Saudi here.

If Nigeria wanted to be like Saudi, we would have to earn something like 7-10 times what we earn from oil to be able to fund such subsides on fuel. SInce such money does not come overnight, it is either you want us to borrow the money...which would create the largest ever debt in the history of mankind, or you just accept we cannot fund oil subsides for now


2. Russia? Russia pays 22 billion dollars per annum to keep subsides on fuel. And it is not like that money is easy to come by.

And their fuel price per liter are between...466-1000 naira. Yes, it is low, but it costs a lot of money...which Russia can afford because it runs a diversifed economy...that produces industrial goods for export. Does Nigeria do that?

Nigeria relies on 1.8 million bpd revenue for crude oil. Our budget this year was about 54 trillion naira, to subsidise fuel to N200 per liter would require 22-24 trillion naira. Like I said, since we have no budget for subsidy...having a budget now, would mean taking money from other sectors of the budget, including money we borrowed...to fund the subsidy budget.

You know that means we go borrow more, worsening our debt, sha?

We are not RUssia or Saudi..we are Nigeria, a nation that since independence has not diversifed our economy and has a very poor tax uptake. And sadly tinubu dey continue am up till now

So, please forget subsidy, unless you want your debt to be around 500 trillion naira or more in two years time.
There is no country that does not run a subsidy scheme in one or more things. All those things you said are just excuses. Before Gaddafi died the citizens were been taken care of and much welfare go round. Tell me after removing subsidy what have we achieve with that? Our problem was never subsidy but stopping the corruption in the scheme.
The government lack creative ideas, knows nothing. It's just about looting and stealing they know. What problem has APC government solved for over 10 years now and this administration has solved zero problem but help to expand it dimensionally.

PoliticsRe: Senators Who Lost Return Tickets Lead Mass Defection From APC In Bauchi by ogascomax:
callmeDDD:
In as much as APC did alot of wuruwuru across their party's primaries, the question I always ask these politicians is how popular are they among the party members and grassroots? Once they elect many of them, to even come home and interact about what they are doing in Abuja becomes a ghost. They cut many youths that helped them out and bring strangers and family members totally to work with them. So it's good for most of them to be dealt with. If you use your consistency allocations well and connect well with the grassroots, a lot of youths will stand for you and with you in difficult times.
That's the cases many fell into. He should go and sit down. They failed the grassroots. Politicians hardly accept defeat even if they are disconnected from their people.
All of them are same except a very small numbers. The once that will replace them may do same or worst.
