Keep lamenting.

Smart ones have move to solar and LPG.

All my bulbs at home and tv are on solar. Only freezer and Ac is on phcn. Infact there is a company that sells solar with tv, 4 bulbs and fan but l don't want to advertise so that l will not be banned. Just ask around.

PoliticsRe: Fuel Subsidy: Students, Workers Resort To Bicycles In Maiduguri by okewumi: 3:44pm On Jul 02, 2023
nairalanda1:
Bicycles might be the answer.

At the end of the day, we are borrowed up. We try to keep subsidy...and seriously, in my innermost heart, I think we should...we get so broke within 5 years that we would be calling the IMF Mommy. And Beijing our mummy dearest And we would be so broke that to even pay salary of senator would be hard.

It does not matter if we even cut government spending, or stopped smuggling. We've reached a point where we take another loan to tip us over into the abyss, or we just face what we should have faced 30 years ago...

I mean, we have gotten to point zero. We have no choice. Remove subsidy, or reach a point where we cannot even pay for the basics, while we shovel non-existent money down the subsidy bothole. Guess the poor would be suffering ...no, starving and eating each other then. Or at least close to

Has nothing to do with politics.
Nigeria is a poor nation at the moment. They are debtors. They have reached point zero. One idi×t was even saying they shout protest. Go and protect now. Usele×s and debtors. Jn next five years, people will improvise. Humans are born to solve problem. Country of 200 million producing graduates every year and they can not comeup witj ordinary matches. Everything is government. Watch tiktok, you will see small guys in corner of their room improvising. The only thing is to be shouting president whereas 90% does not know the name of ordinary local chairman of where they stay. Governors are just there for nothing sharing money

It is a very welcome development. Bicycles are very environmental friendly. The same people who praise the Whites for living a simpl life are all here condemning what they commended in Europe and America.
Northerners knows how to improvise but the only thing southerners knows is to shout online. Southerners will not come out to vote but to be shouting on Twitter.Fuel is expensive in UK and US. One thing l know is that after Tinubu, future president will have resources to develop the country because since l know democracy, all of them use to shout fuel subsidy. I did not hear any reasonable thing since 1999 apart from subsidy. We will survive

PoliticsRe: Reuben Abati, Rufai Oseni Hail Tinubu For Representing Nigeria Well In France by okewumi: 11:24pm On Jun 25, 2023
They should go and sit down. Journalism should not be one way traffic. Most people doesn't like Tinubu because of age and some pending issues but when he was sworn in, we started feeling his little impact through what comes from his mouth that Nigeria can be great.

I appreciate feedback from leaders and that is what Buhari fails to do through out his tenure. People were hailing him that new masha has arrived. He hardly communicate to masses.
Every time is " l assure u". Nigeria youth are lazy, people should go back to farm. Cow is more valuable than human.

But Tinubu case is different. "Let the poor breath, Greatest Nigerian students, He was talking to people in diaspora and was telling them that we will find a way where you can be sending money home. Most can not transfer to their domicillary account in Nigeria again and it is ridiculous.
We just have to be patient about life, some best friend could be worst enemy
FamilyRe: People Are Suffering. by okewumi: 5:43pm On Jun 25, 2023
JeffreyJunior:
And those living abroad, who will reach out to them or you think it's all bed of roses for them?

With all the natural disasters happening around the world daily, how many of our people have reached out to their relatives abroad just to check on them and ask how they are surviving?

All Nigerians do everyday is expect everyone else to pity them when they themselves don't have any atom of empathy for anyone else.

There's suffering everywhere and I advocate that people lend helping hands to each other but don't just single out those living abroad because they themselves are also facing hardship too.

People at home are even better off because they have villages to run to and arable lands to cultivate in the event of extreme hardship unlike people abroad who become homeless so easily.
Thank you for your writeup.
Who do you think those in abroad run to ? I observed we waste alot of time in Nigeria doing nothing. Raining season has started in Nigeria, instead to start small farming at their backyard, they will not. Every body want to be in city (Lagos, PH, Abuja ) by force.

If a Naira is equal to a dollar, most people will run back to Nigeria (Note: Most in abroad doesn't have work Permit but they do send money because of Naira to dollar). It is not easy also in abroad. I only attended church once and others are online because l need to go to work so as to pay bill. But in Nigeria, most will be in church or mosque from morning till evening expecting free money during the week.
Some may feel blablablu on gaming. When l was in ede, Osogbo, l farm. Also in ibadan. I did small farming in last year that carter for my family.

Useless fellow. Most of the houses are weak and they have been marked since last year b4 election. The worst is that most of this traders are not even the owner. Almost all are owned by yotubas which their great ground children can not maintain over years.

I don't know the state you reside but l know how terrible it is apart from Lagos, ph and Abuja at that time of the day. In fact some areas outside Lagos like Ibadan, Ogun state etc is always like mid-night when it is 9:30pm.
Just imagine coming back 11:30pm without doing something tangible. It is people at home that always feel the pressure, not you that are coming home. They will be peping through window from 10pm and l doubt if you call to update them of coming late

VinnyBaba:
The Question this TUC spokesman should ask is, is there Anything Nigerians will gain from it's removal? sad

The Fact is: Fuel Subsidy Removal is to Favour Dangote and the Northern Hausa/FULANI Aristocrats
who have bought shares in his Refinery. 😕

Every Nigerian is Lining the Pocket of Dangote, anytime he/she buys a litre Fuel of N510. 😔😒
They don't need to ask him. Is very painful when some doesn't know the meaning of a debtor. Buhari finished Nigeria with loan

Just use the energy and ask Google " Does Nigeria use to burrow or collect loan to pay subsidy and you will see the answer.

They used three unborn generations to be collecting loan and pay for fuel me and you did not use grin. If the next generation enjoys life, is it not better that they suffer the same way our own generation experience. IMF loan, Suku loan, China loan, Brazil loan etc. Where is the result l beg.

seunayeni:
Honestly, it's a Laudable proposal and I hope it is sustained eventually.However, what about states like Ekiti, Osun, Adamawa, Ebonyi etc who probably do not have the Financial Strength and laid down Blueprints like Lagos for Power Generation nko....these states go come dey look Lagos like London grin...abeg make them do the check and balance well so that all other states can be carried along.
That is why we are where we are today. Investor are ready to put their money but if policy is not on ground, nobody will invest. There are thousands of country in the world where you can put your money and make profit. Investors can invest in solar generation, they can invest in wind generation and before you see, Osogbo steal rolling company will come back to life. Enugu, imo, Anambra has gas. They will use gas turbines and sell the excess to grid. Their are hundreds of potential in power generation that can be tapped in the north. Bauchi has large quantity of Uranium chai !! Nigeria is blessed.

Let just keep praying for our leaders expecially tinubu. All we need is good life and it is achievable by good leadership.

Damn Africa...well peaceful demonstration is part of democracy and its the duty of security agencies to wadoff miscreants from hijacking the peaceful protest but I think in Nigeria 🇳🇬 of today u can't protest without overzealous security agencies using brutal force and is even worse in this balabu regime with tales of stolen mandate hanging on their heads...Nigeria doesn't have business paying subsidy just as Nigeria( with abundance of crude oil ) doesn't have business importing fuel in the first place...the real solution is not to remove subsidy arbitrary,rather to tackle the problems that led to importation of PMS ..the corruption in that sector is largely through having moribund refineries...fix the issue of our refineries and subsidy will die a natural death...u can't subject millions to suffer because of the incompetence and corruption of few people who stole all the money allocated to service our refineries. rather get them to vomit the funds and use it to get the refineries working again..but supporters of evil will rather not see the reality
I remember the time of a quote or jokes "wahala, wahala and wahala"


Most people have never see wahala.
Some will just type and politician uses their destiny to play. Oshiomole as NLC leader uses our destiny then and later he became governor abi. Some still remain where they are till today.
Demonstrations in many part of the world always yield fruit but it can never in Nigeria because of level of education, religion, tribe etc.
I have been joining demonstration since 90s today what is the dividend. Most time this fuel wahala.

Some will tell you that government should put things in place before removing subsidy abi. The country is a DEBTOR. So they should keep burrowing to pay and indirectly taxing us heavily to pay debt. The future of Nigeria go here wuen. I pity most!!!. People in city enjoys but those outside city usually know whatsup .

Immediately wahala start, food market closeup, PHCN will shut down power, doctors will not go to work, Armed rubbery etc

Let me tell you what happened after four days of ENDSARS and during Jonathan demonstration. Armed robbers started knocking each house telling everybody to bring out what they have or else they will kill.


NLC should use the strength to fight for salary increament. But if people want wahala, they should start jt on Wednesday.

Parachoko:
I believe NLC should be asking Government what the Govt will do for Nigerians not to be too affected by this fuel subsidy removal

NLC should be asking Government what the Money will spend money on and how the money will be spent

Strike will only lead to more hardship

What did the 2012 strike achieve?

There will be chaos and scarcity of fuel if Govt does not stand her ground

But Government must make Nigerians know the plans dey have for Nigeria. This is where I expect the NLC to give the Government a very close marking.
God bless you.
After ENDSAR protest economy collapsed and prices of food soar all because they could not bring food from North and rural areas. What is the outcome of ENDSARS now but more hardship. NLC should ask for salary increament.

When ladies want to encapsulate you, they will ensure you are committed to things of God so that you will not be able to voice out. If you talk, people will say you are a child of God nau.

A lot of men ignores red flag during courtship and when their wife gives birth (after two children). They showed their madness. My dad has never lay hands on mum; and he is a good man and breadwinner

Always look at things holistically. They don't rely on you for cash or bills. They bring out the best from you career wise. They are good in time management and smart (see Okonjo oweala when she started her career)

You have potential to travel out of the country together. For instance, if embassy denies you visa, they can apply as well for her family and they are easily be granted ( My friend travels to canada with the help of her wife because she is IT guru and many certifications)

There children always excel because there is no room for mediocrity.
