That’s cause u guys don’t have any plan, it’s just to insult and run mouth without facts or reason.

That’s y u pro Biafra igbos always put the rest of the igbo tribe into trouble, with your excesses. From bringing insecurity to the east, to terrorism in the east to the militarisation of the east, to the back to back seat at homes we now have and now the Yoruba ronu problem that’s imploding. U guys caused all of it.

If not for quota system, a president entering into power would be legally allowed to appoint the entire ministers from his cabinet, if not for it a president can allocate all the projects to his region and nothing would happen, if with the presence of quota system Igbos are being marginalised, if u remove it. If you cry marginalisation they would ask you which laws did they break. That it’s legal.

If quota system and federal character is put to practise 100%, the era where a president comes into power and fills everywhere with his tribe people will end.


U guys can’t see this that’s y u people are running into brick walls, out of short sightedness.


The fact that none of Una don think reach here is y I can never join u people in Biafra, if a subject as little as quota system and federal character which if practised properly favours our people, u guys haven’t discussed up to this extent, u guys then think I will trust your judgement on the so called Biafra being feasible.

Then when u guys get ur Biafra u people would start digging tunnels to enter Nigeria. I know what I have seen that’s y I will never support Biafra. Biafra was needed as at then in 1967-70 but at present anybody shouting Biafra is seeking for our self destruction
I think you have stayed too long without getting any crumb from your masters that's why you are sounding so frustrated. You can get away with your so called Ideas. Trash!

If SW succeeds in connecting all SW states with rail una no go see their back, in a very long time.

Apart from Lagos? SW has Ogun, Ibadan.

These 2 states no SE state compares to them in anything. This is minus Lagos o.

There’s nothing wrong with the present arrangements.


I support it 100%, I even propose that the present arrangement should be followed 100%.

I support quota system, I support federal character, I support the present unitary system.

Only thing I hate is the injustice and lack of rule of law.


I reject tax reform bill 100%, no reasonable igbo man will support tax reform bill or regionalism or true federalism
I was thinking that you had one special tactics or economic policy you want to propose but now that i have gone through this response, i quickly realized that you are just ONE of the many people who leech off crumbs by affiliating and hobnobbing with politicians.

akuneme:
Thanks for sharing.

To also make your battery last longer after charging, here's what works for me;

1. Connect only one Email account. Multiple emails make your phone to sync repeatedly. This drains your battery faster.

2. Use a portable WiFi. Instead of using my phone mobile network, connecting to a portable WiFi
helps my battery last longer.

I can relate to the number 2. I notice that my battery usually stays longer on a particular percentage whenever I am connected to a WiFi. The thing surprised me when I noticed it lol.


3. Use 1 SIM.

Stop being delusional, they are all as lazy and hardworking as each other. Gone are the days of the Igbo men who after the war lost everything and were working 4 times as much to dig themselves out of poverty.

Yoruba men are WEAK men and are not family oriented. So they prefer a family oriented woman that can compliment him that area. That's why you see them sell their family property to impress an Igbo woman.
Politics › Re: To The Yoruba Women by Pentagon007: 10:21am On Feb 16, 2025
This one is in depression. To be honest, Yorubas land have lost it with this lazy generation of Yoruba men.

How can a man be admonishing his tribe women to go and woo their men for marriage?? Dating and marriage is initiated by MEN. The reason why Yoruba men have abandoned to their women is because culturally, Yoruba men are WEAK in matters of family. They cannot protect their lineage and because they grew up in a society with huge number of Muslims who marry more than one wife, philandering became part and parcel of them. They are ever ready to bring in a woman from another tribe into their lineage and start cross breeding. That is sign of WEAK MEN. And added to it, is the fact that women from EASTERN REGION are very beautiful, Well learned. They are good in home making and can stand up for the family even when the man is no more. These traits are lacking in Yoruba women who are mostly considered dirty, wayward and of poor quality in home making.

Since you decided to make it about tribe , let me help you go down further.
It is public knowledge that rich Yorubas are not known to help one another. This is why there is a massive rate of poverty in yorubaland. There are uncountable number of super rich Igbo families that helped to lift their brothers.
The Emeka Offors, Innocent chukwumas, Tony Elumelus and so many others.

I think Yorubas have a lot to learn from Igbos in this regard.

If there is anybody who is finding the new situation difficult, it is the corrupt criminals in Abuja and their minions who get the majority of these funds straight into their pockets in the name of HIV aid.

Politics › Re: I Asked Deepseek Ai To Calculate What Should Be Nigerian Minimum Wage Today by Pentagon007: 2:08pm On Jan 29, 2025
This is NOT correct.

The minimum wage as at 2009 was 18.000

ChatGPT has a better calculation



ChatGPT

You said:
What should be the minimum wage in 2025 considering the rate of inflation from 2009?
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
To estimate the minimum wage in 2025 adjusted for inflation since 2009, we need to account for the cumulative inflation rate over that period.

Steps:
Find the 2009 minimum wage

The U.S. federal minimum wage was $7.25 per hour in 2009.
Calculate cumulative inflation (2009–2025)

Using historical inflation data, the cumulative inflation from 2009 to 2023 is about 46%.
If we assume an average annual inflation rate of 3.5% for 2024 and 2025, the total inflation from 2009 to 2025 would be around 53%.
Adjust for inflation

Adjusted minimum wage = $7.25 × 1.53 = $11.09
This means that, just to keep up with inflation, the 2025 federal minimum wage should be at least $11.09 per hour.
Considerations:
Some states have higher minimum wages, often exceeding inflation-adjusted levels.
The cost of living has increased more in certain areas, making $11.09 insufficient in many places.
Productivity and wage growth factors could suggest an even higher figure.
Would you like a more specific estimate based on recent inflation data?

ChatGPT
To determine the appropriate minimum wage in Nigeria for 2025, adjusted for inflation since 2009, we can follow these steps:

Identify the 2009 Minimum Wage:

In 2009, Nigeria's minimum wage was ₦5,500 per month.
voanews.com
Calculate Cumulative Inflation from 2009 to 2025:

Using available data, we can approximate the cumulative inflation rate over this period.
From 2009 to 2023, Nigeria experienced significant inflation, with rates reaching 24.66% in 2023.
macrotrends.net
In 2024, the inflation rate increased to 34.80%.
tradingeconomics.com
Assuming a conservative inflation rate of 25% for 2025, the cumulative inflation from 2009 to 2025 can be estimated.
Adjust the 2009 Minimum Wage for Cumulative Inflation:

Applying the cumulative inflation rate to the 2009 minimum wage:
₦5,500 × (1 + cumulative inflation rate) = Adjusted Minimum Wage
For instance, if the cumulative inflation rate is approximately 500% over the 16-year period:
₦5,500 × 6 = ₦33,000
Therefore, to maintain the same purchasing power as in 2009, the minimum wage in Nigeria should be at least ₦33,000 per month in 2025.

Considerations:

This calculation is based on estimated inflation rates and may vary with actual data.
Other economic factors, such as changes in the cost of living, productivity, and economic growth, should also be considered when setting the minimum wage.
Regular reviews and adjustments of the minimum wage are essential to ensure it aligns with current economic conditions and provides a livable income for workers.
It's important to note that while adjusting the minimum wage for inflation helps maintain purchasing power, it may not fully address the challenges faced by workers due to other economic factors.

countryeconomy.com
Calculate Cumulative Inflation from 2009 to 2025:

Based on available data, Nigeria's inflation rates were:
2009: 12.54%
2010: 13.74%
2011: 10.83%
2012: 12.22%
2013: 8.50%
2014: 8.05%
2015: 9.01%
2016: 15.70%
2017: 16.50%
2018: 12.10%
2019: 11.40%
2020: 13.25%
2021: 16.95%
2022: 18.85%
2023: 24.66%
2024: 34.80%
Assuming an estimated inflation rate of 25% for 2025, we can calculate the cumulative inflation over the 16-year period.
Adjust the 2009 Minimum Wage for Cumulative Inflation:

Using the formula for cumulative inflation adjustment:
Adjusted Minimum Wage = ₦5,500 × (1 + cumulative inflation rate)
Calculating the cumulative inflation rate:
Cumulative Inflation Rate = (1 + 0.1254) × (1 + 0.1374) × ... × (1 + 0.3480) × (1 + 0.25) - 1
This results in a cumulative inflation rate of approximately 1,200% over the period.
Applying this to the 2009 minimum wage:
₦5,500 × 13 = ₦71,500
Therefore, to maintain the same purchasing power as in 2009, the minimum wage in Nigeria should be at least ₦71,500 per month in 2025.

Considerations:

This calculation is based on estimated inflation rates and may vary with actual data.
Other economic factors, such as changes in the cost of living, productivity, and economic growth, should also be considered when setting the minimum wage.

To estimate the appropriate minimum wage in Nigeria for 2025, adjusted for inflation since 2009, we will:

Step 1: Identify the 2009 Minimum Wage
The minimum wage in Nigeria in 2009 was ₦18,000 per month.
Step 2: Calculate Cumulative Inflation (2009–2025)
From historical data, Nigeria’s annual inflation rates have been:

2009: 12.54%
2010: 13.74%
2011: 10.83%
2012: 12.22%
2013: 8.50%
2014: 8.05%
2015: 9.01%
2016: 15.70%
2017: 16.50%
2018: 12.10%
2019: 11.40%
2020: 13.25%
2021: 16.95%
2022: 18.85%
2023: 24.66%
2024: 34.80% (estimated)
2025: 25% (assumed for projection)
To calculate cumulative inflation from 2009 to 2025, we apply the formula:

Cumulative Inflation Rate=(1+r1)×(1+r2)×...×(1+rn)−1Cumulative Inflation Rate=(1+r 1)×(1+r 2)×...×(1+r n)−1
Let's compute this inflation factor.

The cumulative inflation factor from 2009 to 2025 is 11.32, meaning prices have increased by approximately 1,032% over this period.

Step 3: Adjust the 2009 Minimum Wage for Inflation
Using the formula:

Adjusted Minimum Wage=2009 Minimum Wage×
Cumulative Inflation Factor
Adjusted Minimum Wage=2009 Minimum Wage×Cumulative Inflation Factor
₦18,000×11.32=₦203,800 ₦18,000×11.32=₦203,800
Conclusion:
To maintain the same purchasing power as ₦18,000 in 2009, the minimum wage in Nigeria should be at least ₦203,800 per month in 2025.

However, the actual minimum wage should also consider productivity, cost of living, and economic conditions beyond inflation alone.
