No Landing Cost, No VAT Charges, No Port Duty, No Forex Impediments and yet NNPCL Increase Fuel Price! The More We Try To Understand the Indices Of Nigerian Economy, the more confused we become.

Because there is actually no indices.
Just a group of kleptomaniacs sucking the country dry and making decisions that best suits their selfish plans.

If their religion does not permit it, then so be it. We must not impose our culture on other people.

Government should just ensure FIRS segment taxes on alcohol separately and get them distributed only to states that permits consumption of such products.

Simple!

If every region in Nigeria starts implementing and forcing the adoption of only what their religion permits on all the people in the state, regardless of whether they are members of the religion, and regardless of whether it contradicts the constitution, do you think we will still have a country called Nigeria?

Myclubmycash:
It takes extraordinary bravery to speak up in this manner, especially in a country as corrupt as ours. Maybe we are having another Dora Akunyili here.
If EFCC are incorruptible, then we have a classic case at hand. This should not be swept under the carpet as we have always seen in the past.

The way you guys trust this so called EFCC and their likes to battle corruption amongst political bigwigs surprises me seriously. Does Nigeria look to you like a country with a functional antigraft agency?

Pls you guys should leave them to continue their work of "anti yahoo-boys", and going after political oppositions.

Aurelius1:
And you think pushing Fabura out is going to be easy? The 27 legislators decamping was the biggest mistake Wike made and it would haunt him for the rest of his life.

I never said anything about the ease of removing Fubara. I am only saying, statements like the one PDP just made could ignite anxiety in Tinubu and make him consider throwing his full weight and federal might behind Wike in the fight.
The PDP comment can give the fight a colouration of PDP vs APC instead of Fubara vs Wike or godfather vs god son.
That comment at this point in time is not in the best interest of Fubara.

This is not a smart comment or publication to make at this very dicy time. Especially not a helpful statement for the state governor at this very crucial and challenging time when he still needs the president to stay neutral and not throw his full might behind Wike.

Statements like this could make Tinubu very uncomfortable and decide to throw his weight behind Wike. All Wike needs to do is to tell the president that without him (Wike) in control of Rivers affairs, PDP will kick the president out of the control of Rivers state.

It's a shame that these same people who have exploited us since forever aren't still satisfied yet but we shall rise as a Nation and stand in unity to defy them in their craftiness

No parasite gets satisfied until it has completely drained its host.
No parasite leaves its host willingly except it is deliberately expelled by its host.

Nigeria as a country and indeed Africa as a continent need to understand this very clearly and deliberately take measures, put things in place to better herself and expel everyone leeching on us as a country.

I repeat, no parasite leaves its host willingly except it has either Completely drained the host or it is forcefully expelled by its host.
It is up to us as a country and Africa as a continent to choose if we want to get completely drained or we want to deliberately expell the parasites draining us.

This high handed fight with SIM may end up being Wike's greatest political mistake.

Nature has a way of reminding mere mortals that they are not gods. Especially mere mortals that tend to assume the position of a god.

Good evening all,
pls someone should me because I can't think straight again since morning. I met a girl month ago, she has been on neck to have s*x with her for the past month but I always declined, at times I do reach the point but I always stop, but today's own was different cus I couldn't hold it any longer. Though it was not upto 2 minutes sex before I realized that the economy is not smiling but everything was inside already. After the s*x I contacted some people on what she can take, they recommended beecham and teem solar including the said girl, now she is feeling lizzy.
Pls I don't know what to do, I can't think straight at the moment.

This is my first time having sex and it will be the last for now

I would have advised you, but when I read your closing words "for now" , I just decided to keep quiet and allow life to advise you.

I just hope you don't finally learn the HARD WAY.

Pregnancy is your fear today, I just hope HIV will not be your fear tomorrow.

the clothes and shoes they put on, do you know what the designers do and what they bow to just to get those inspiration?
I read somewhere that in Apple, they don't like the name Jesus. Yet pastors and believers use the iPhone very well.

It is woe to whom offense come through and not the victim of the offense.

The EARTH is the Lord's and the FULLNESS thereof, the WORLD and EVERYTHING that dwells therein.

The devil created nothing! Absolutely nothing!!

So the raw materials used in making those clothes and shoes the men of God wear and the raw materials used in making apple phones they use are God's creation, they belong to God, so God's children can enjoy bye products of their Father's creation if they choose to.

Probably defeat induced frustrations @ the battle field. The so called game changers like M1Abram & F-16 have arrived yet they're losing more territory to Russia.


Russian economy is gaining more strenght while Ukraine is depending on handouts from EU/US. Hamas vs Israel is now the trending agenda...too bad for Ukraine. They picked the wrong fight with the wrong opponent @ the wrong time. Russia is too big & powerful to be isolated by US/NATO/EU.

I always say to my pals when we discuss world conflicts, any smaller country having misunderstanding with the Big boys (China . Russia . USA . Japan . Britain), should find any other means to settle the issue and never resolve to fight a war with them, even if you are promised support by anybody or any country.

I tell them these countries will never openly or directly throw missiles at each other even if they promised to support you fight, because they know the consequence will be a world war instantly, with massive loss to all involved.

The best they will do is assist you with money and weapons but they will never go into direct military confrontation against each other because of you.

At the end of the day, you will be the one doing your fighting by your self and bringing heavy destruction to your country and loss of life, while your supporters that pushed you to war will sit comfortably in their country sympathising with you and holding fruitless meetings up and down.

At the end of the day you will still resort to negotiation to resolve the matter, but this time it will be with heavy destruction and loss of life already incurred.

Are you sure they are not being mandated to resign by the governor? It may be he does not feel safe having his enemies loyalists closely surrounding him. He wants to replace them with his own clique he can trust.
Just my thoughts anyway.

Despite his 8 years of loyalty to President Buhari, there was no reciprocation. Buhari was just a selfish fellow.

I think there was a much earlier and much weightier deal/agreement between Tinubu and Buhari on who will occupy Aso villa after Buhari's term in office. And that was the reason Tinubu gave his full support to buhari in 2015, knowing it was the "turn" of the North at the time after 6years of Southern presidency, otherwise he himself would have contested at the time.

I want to also believe that buhari conceded to that agreement not willingly but after severe pressure from Tinubu and his political allies.

Pakute:
Very blunt, no wuruwuru. The koko of the matter be say they all agreed after picking them up from the gutter.

But even wike fought the people that picked him from the "gutter" too.

Dbarrzx:
To see his old godfather or new godfather is emerging ? No vacuum anywhere

All the people accompanying him are Wikes staunch loyalists and inner caucus men. So he is most likely going to meet Wike in Abuja to make peace.

Then why did you write all that sheet up there?

This cracked me up

gabazin080:
what is bad in appointing people you trust whether they are your kinsmen or not

Nothing would have been wrong with that if we did not have a Federal Character law.

I think what Nigeria needs to do is scrap the Federal Character law. So that a president will be at liberty to appoint all his cousins and family members if he likes and if he feels they are the only set of people he trusts to get the job done without breaking any law.

NotoriousBiggyS:
I stays in an apartment that has five 5flat , each flat occupied with 5 different tenants including myself. Before we uses direct electricity which we collectively pays monthly but recently got change to prepaid meter. With each fat with it own prepaid meter. The landlord refuse to bring another prepaid separately for the compound water Pumping Machine.
However the tenants come to dialogue and agreed to tap electricity from my own prepaid meter to the pumping machine in agreement that each tenant will be paying me 1000naira monthly. So I want to know if 5k can be enough to run pumping machine for a month?

No it won't.

Tariff is high now. By the time VAT is deducted from that 5k contribution, you will be left with about 4,600 or 4,700. How many units do you think that can get you? To last you for a whole month of water pumping.

Atleast, and I repeat, atleast 2k per flat should be the monthly contribution.

Remember that immediately they pay you that 1k, you have no right or authority anymore to stop them from pumping the water or using the water anyhow they want.

I repeat, 2k minimum. If they refuse, then they should put it in another person's flat.

SocialJustice:
I really hate tribalism on this website. No interesting conversation can be had without tribalism messing it up.

Nigerians, will you be petty forever? Engaging in primitive fights all the days of your life.

Blame it on the MODs.
They are the ones permitting all sorts of nuisance and trashy talks on the platform.

I don't know wether they are scared of banning accounts that pollute the platform just to sustain traffic on the site, which boils down to greed. Placing personal gains above human decency.

Ordinary WhatsApp or telegram group accounts, if anyone behaves or talks unruly, the person or group of persons are deleted from the group instantly so others become cautious of what they post on the group. But in Nairaland anything goes.

It's unfortunate.

When you are so evil and have committed all manner of evil that you are now haunted by imaginations of evil repercussions, you begin to live a paranoid life, thinking everyone else not in your evil circle must be planning evil against you.

This evil creature will be more comfortable and extremely happy if the security architecture of Nigeria is handed over to Hamas, ISIS, Boko haram or ISWAP.

And everyday they keep begging for foreign investors to come invest their hard earned money in the country.

Is this the kind of lawlessness that the government thinks foreign investors will see and still come down to invest their hard earned money?

A country where court rulings are as useless as a birds dung, and can't help you even when you are right.

Foreign investors should come so that after investing millions and billions of their hard earned money, one rascal will just wake up one morning and decide to destroy their investments just because you didn't greet him that morning, and even the courts will not be able to save you.

No wonder foreign investors are avoiding anything Nigeria. The ones that were here before are all packing their things and running away.

BloodyDoe:
Even if that man is stealing all this plantain, he shouldn't sell them at such price cos it takes guts to steal. I sincerly hope these are not the joysticks that has been missing nowadays.

It even takes more guts to harvest joysticks than to steal na. So it should even be more expensive

Calabar1stSon:
38 fingers for 1k from the West. Maybe I live in a different West because that plantain would cost around 4-5k if not even more sef.

He lives in the West, while you u dey live for Westside (california yo men ). You no see ur bandana? How ur plantain go cheap when ur table strong like dat?

It depends on the kind of persons being led.

If you are leading already competent persons, then 1 is the way to go..

If you are leading learners or armatures, then you start with 2 and gradually go on to 1.

But Mr Tinubu quickly gathered his team of attorneys and asked to be added as an interested party in the suit, alleging that Chicago State University might be unable to fully protect his interest as the owner of the records being sought.


The above statement got me laughing really hard

Please Atiku and Obi, you people will not rest until you give my president heart attack abi

Now even when the president is sleeping and you just whisper in his ears Chicago! Chicago! Certificate! Certificate! , he will jump up and start mobilising lawyers from every nook and cranny to be on standby for counter defence.

For several years, I have consistently maintained the position that the fuel subsidy had to go. This once beneficial measure had outlived its usefulness. The subsidy cost us trillions of Naira yearly. Such a vast sum of money would have been better spent on public transportation, healthcare, schools, housing and even national security. Instead, it was being funnelled into the deep pockets and lavish bank accounts of a select group of individuals.


Did my president just say the above?

I laugh!!!!!

Who fought Jonathan tooth and nail in 2015 to ensure subsidy is not removed? And even called removal of subsidy a big fraud and a deliberate act to punish the poor.

Na wa oo.

SmartPolician:
Muslim leaders have a lot of work to do in order to sensitize their people. That's because their level of ignorance is so alarming that it's easy to convert them into Islamic extremists and terrorists. That's why Islam is always associated with terrorism.

Muslim Leaders? Who are the Muslim leaders?

Muric Prof or El Rufai or Isa Pantani or who?

Do you think it is by coincidence that most of this violent acts occur after their Friday meetings? Who do you think they go to listen to every Friday in their meetings before going out to wreck havoc? Their juniors or their leaders?

Beverlyjean:


My problem is not even what u posted cos u never ever posts anything that makes sense...its the number of senseless people that liked ur post that's my problem ... it shows the number of Nigerians that are mentally deranged

You should not be surprised by the number of senseless people that liked his post? If the constitution permitted buhari to contest for a 3rd term in office, believe me, he will still win.

Unfortunately in Nigeria, there is a huge base of people who are acutely stupid and incapable of being reasonable in judgement either as a result of Religious fanatism, Tribalism, or Selfish interest. This is partly the reason why we get the kind of leaders we have and also why the leaders don't have any sense of responsibility to the citizens, because they know that no matter how stupidly they perform in office, there will still be a huge base of senseless and unreasonable people out there that will support and vote them, all he needs to do is to just tickle their Religious, Tribal or selfish interest and they will follow him like morons.
