That old man called fashoranti is a typical man Yorubas call àgbà tí dale rú.

He is one of the people being used by the likes of Tinubu to sell Yoruba interests despite the fact that his daughter was killed by Fulani terrorists not long ago.

Politics / Re: Petrol Prices To Fall Over Refineries’ Take Off, Says Cardoso by pacespot(m): 7:00pm On Jan 24
Fall to where?

Giving how petrol price jumped dramatically from ₦200-250 to over ₦650 after Tinubu's fuel subsidy removal, if the pump price didn't drop to ₦100 which is below the previous price, then that wouldn't be counted as falling.

Most of these Black American negroes have the dumbest and lowest take when it comes to Africa because they never had the chance or means to travel out of their "utopian" America in their life unlike their White counterparts.

White Americans know much more about Africa than Black Americans.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Netanyahu Rejects US Calls For Palestinian State After Gaza War by pacespot(m): 9:04pm On Jan 19
As much as I will like to disagree with this man Netanyahu over his incessant wars against Palestinians, I do think the man is right on this one not to allow a State of Palestine creation.

Israel is such a small country that if it was in Nigeria, it would be comparable to any of the smallest states in the country. Why do you want such a small country to accept another potentially hostile country being carved out of itself?

I do agree Palestinians have the same right as Israel to lay claim to a country of their own, but Israel is already bordered by too many enemies that I think it is in the best interest of Palestinian people to join hands with Israel in creating a Union of Israel-Palestine state. Mind you Palestinians are in better position to cope under the state ruled by Israel than under Sharia & Hamas.

Also the outside influences of Iran and Qatar which can stir the tension between Israel and Gaza into conflict will be contained if both states are under one rule.

That is my view

Business / Re: 90% Of 2023 Diaspora Remittances Didn’t Get To Nigeria — Oyedele by pacespot(m): 8:29pm On Jan 19
RepoMan007:
So dollars goes to govt who subsidizes the sales to pilgrimage goers, fake hair buyers and wine importers among other wasteful things.
One question though, the fintechs settling Nigerians abroad in exchange for dollars, which currency are they crediting those Nigerians with? If Naira, are they printing or stealing it?

Naira of course. The thing is that these fintech companies have Naira-domiciled accounts in Nigeria which they use to settle these transactions for their users, but their dollar accounts are offshore so CBN doesn't get to see these dollars from diaspora remittance.

Oga you should blame the central bank and the Nigerian banks for that.

Do you know the CBN policies that are affecting remittance in Nigeria?

Do you know Paypal and some other international payment platforms are not working to remit in Nigeria because of CBN not that they don't want to, I spoke with PayPal and they told me, then you have the issue of Nigerian banks not making every Nigerian account receive dollar easily, except with domiciliary account that they take charges anyhow....

I was trading BTC from Finland and I knew how hard it was sometimes to bring the money back to Nigeria, you keep looking for channels to bring the money into Nigeria.

The Nigerians in diaspora you are blaming, most don't have a choice, those are the available cheapest channels to them, I am speaking from experience, The CBN and our Nigerian banks are not really helping matters...

So na so flutterwave and Cos be blocking dollars from reaching Nigerian banks thereby causing the Naira to crash against the greenback?

But I think most of the problems are from Nigerian banks, I have a lot of dollars in my forex trading account but I'm not allowed to do bank withdrawal of dollars even though I have a domiciliary account linked and from which account I transferred the money I used to start trading in the first place. It is same story if you want to withdraw dollars from Binance. Nigerian banks will convert the dollars into Naira, so that means Binance gets to keep my dollars while sending Naira into my account. You can't even transfer dollars from your domiciliary account into another account these days.

Properties / Re: House Rent In This Country Is Nothing To Write About by pacespot(m): 9:15pm On Jan 16
This is a really serious issue that government needs to look into. Rent is a major factor driving the inflation in this country. Not that the condition of the housing is better than before, landlord will just wake up overnight and increase the rent. Housing is a capital project which needs to be under the government control, just like you have regulatory framework for real estate in advanced countries.

Where is the "commodity board" Tinubu promised during campaign to regulate the prices of good and services in this country so as to protect consumers from exploitation?

Emergency meeting by ordinary minister. These people can deceive other Nigerians with their fake media action, but I've passed that level of that person they can deceive. This is just to give people a sense that they are taking the issue of kidnapping in FCT as a matter of urgency, but I can assure you there is nothing going on behind the door aside this media noise.

Another political move by this man Tinubu, he is seeing the trend of soldiers attacking politicians on social media lately, like that Sanwo Olu and Nigeria Army brouhaha, he has decided this move to pacify the aggrieved military. Tinubu realizes his govt can be cut short by military coup at any time which will enjoy support from most Nigerians. It won't be a surprise to me if I see further moves from him to compensate the armed forces.

Football has passed that time when a team is fully reliable on a single player, even for Messi

MeineMutter:


Did FG dole it our freely? Talking like a kalatobo.
It’s not one of the reasons Dollar was scarce. It’s your state governor and politicians and your ndi billionaires that are importing nonsense that cause scarcity of dollar.
Mind you, most of what Dangote spent on that refineries were borrowings from consortium of banks - both home and abroad.

Didinrin. Were you there when they signed the contract to know that government can increase its stake in Dangote? So you have a copy of such documents? If you have, share it here for all to see. Copycat from Arise TV disgruntled analysts.

No wonder you graduated since and couldn’t find job. Very lazy and unemployable youth.

If your Dangote can survive with his parasitic business style without Federal government propping him up, why are you Yorùbá and Fulani afraid of restructuring of Nigeria to bring about truly independent states across the country?

I know your useless father didn't teach you about the etiquette of a decent conversation, so will let your childish and lunatic rants pass and focus on the main subject, Dangote isn't the sole owner of that Refinery that is built on his name, there are other stakeholders and investors as well who contributed to bring about its success, I don't even know this is open to any argument with a sane mind.

MeineMutter:


Hold your past and present state governors responsible for your life that has improved or that has not improved. Don’t forget to ask all civil servants in your state on how they corner your state’s resources.

Dangote is not FG. He is not out to better your life. Ask your parents too what they have done for you.
Leave DANGOTE alone. Why are you feeling bad?

MorataFC:
This is Dangote refinery not NNPC Refinery, wetin consign nigeria government with private company? 🤣🤣🤣

If you guys don't have short memory, do you know how much of our forex was doled out to Dangote by former president Buhari to fund that Refinery, that project was one of the reasons for dollar scarcity and crash in Naira.

And mind you, you forget that the federal government has 20% stake in that Refinery which can also be increased depending on its performance
Business / Re: Video Of production Flaring At Dangote Refinery by pacespot(m): 10:21am On Jan 13
Take these people serious at your own expense. I will only take this Dangote Refinery serious when I start to see measurable impact in terms of positive changes in the lives of Nigerians. They can do this showoff in the beginning only for the Refinery to downsize later, Nigerian government is capable of anything.

Fantastic deal, with 12million shares valued @ $9billion, i should think he remains the largest shareholder. It couldn't have been a better deal.

$9.5bln won't make him the largest share holder at BlackRock. Maybe close to some of midweight shareholders in the company though. Go and research about BlackRock
