I'm just very depressed here but everyone around me seems to b happy, they don't really care bout me, God pls see me tru this hard times!! Need some balls 2 end this once and for all. The pain is just too much to bear.

Whatever happens don't ever take the suicide option, it's the most foolish option. It's a new year, seek God try harder and luck and grace will find you.

theoldpretender:
No one is hanging anything, the reason why subsidy is still there is because Nigerians don't want to pay 250 naira for a liter of fuel.

Even Obi knows that

Don't put the blame on Nigerians. Within a year of this govt I paid almost 100% more for fuel than before. Subsidy remains because this govt has gone full cycle with lies. From there is nothing like subsidy to jacking up fuel price to 145 on the lies of removing subsidy. They promised to build new refineries during campaign, now they sit and wait for Dagote to rescue us. They motivated ignorant few to resist subsidy removal I'm 2012, now tell me how wise were they?

They should admit they have no single plan in place to run the economy. They are merely paying salaries and waiting for reactionary moves.

theoldpretender:
In addition to Dangote refinery, there are modular refineries, at least 2 of them under construction.

There could be more if we removed subsidies completely so that private investors can come and invest in more refineries

It's madness to hang the fate of over 200million people on the private plan of a single man, this govt could pass for the most irresponsible govt in the world.

Sirjamo:
The only way to stop subsidies completely is to get our refineries working again or build new ones, or deregulates the downstream sectors 100% and let the masses bear the costs.

Obi and his boss want to remove subsidies and leave Nigerians to pay more for PMS which will lead to more inflation and make life difficult for us.

Buhari and Osinbajo want to keep subsidies for the mean time until private refineries currently under construction come on board, then, we will be able to stop subsidies completely without creating more economic hardship for the people.

A whole govt wants to keep subsidy until a single man finishes his refineries. That's the most useless idea I have heard in 2019. Dangote should be made the president then.

Can you remind me the promise of this govt prior to 2015? How subsidy was a scam and how body language made our refineries to work just 2 weeks after taking over the govt.

Evidently this govt is more dumb than I ever thought. Ordering NBS to change statistics overnight, the same statistics he campaigned with in 2015 is now wrong suddenly for 2019.

The problem with giving leadership to mediocres is that they will proudly lower the standard, set a new inferior culture and still claim right.

The inability of an average westerner to travel beyond their region makes them think that it's Lagos or no where else. But for Economic reasons, most people will exit Lagos. I once told a friend that the houses in my village is at par with the houses in Ketu, Oshodi etc.

I like the spirit of the book, Nigeria is better off together but tribalism and hate currently being championed by Buhari himself is the greatest threat to our unity.

Sometimes you wonder whether these people have a brain of their own or mere puppets of the Presidency.

The bill should be thrown away because of an unfounded suspicion, what policy of the govt has not been suspicious to different groups since 1960?

Something is obviously wrong in Aso Rock

He wants to plung Nigeria into another frustrating 4 years in order to gain in 2023

I laugh when I see people who criticised godfatherism in other states endorse same in Lagos.

They believe they have a good-corrupt godfather than others.

PHILipu1:
Peter Obi the tribal bigot who will not wear the Hausa cap or identify with them but want their vote to be vice president?

Is that dress he's wearing not an Hausa dress? Try another propaganda.

I have always seen Mbaka as a political priest since some years ago.

The wife keeps complaining but some unknown faceless jobbers on Nairaland wants me to believe all is well at Aso rock.

Madam first lady, why do you still campaign for your husband that has been caged by 2 men? Why should I vote for a president in bondage?

"Whom the gods want to destroy they first make mad" those who adviced Buhari to address critical national issues only when he's abroad have ended up ruining his reputation on the global scale.

Believe it or not, when most foreigners see him henceforth they will always wonder if he's real or an impostor. Very sad for a Nigerian president.

Sicilyjoe:
U can't read, lazy yoot

d33types:
Please learn to read

Can you show me anything in the article that contradicts my earlier post, Mr Professor.

The boy needs to learn fast that windfall don't come everyday and spend wisely.

I wish someone with head will tell that boy to invest wisely but no he's gone shopping and 12months later he'll wonder where his money went.

I still don't understand how these people blame everyone around Buhari but always afraid to blame Buhari.

All failures of FG and APC are poured on others but Buhari but successes are credited to him, who is really in control?

michoim:
Atiku is definitely out of his mind...Buhari should sign what you and your cronies (Saraki)has hatched in the national assembly. Atiku has finally lost it.

People like you ignorantly encourage the mess in this country. Mention 5 amendments in that bill. Do you know how much of our resources that was spent on that bill?

ChiefAzubuike:
I don't believe that SARS boy did anything wrong. Its against the law to stop the vehicle of a uniform man in traffic. When I was still working for road safety many years back I once stopped the convoy of an army general. What my eyes saw that day words cannot describe. I was beaten black and blue before being sat down and educated about the constitution.

Educated about which constitution and law? They capitalised on your ignorance.

Oga minister you and I know you are lieing but continue.

Since after the NNPC approval saga, the once vibrant Ibe Kachikwu joined the propaganda wagon and lost his zeal.

If the well respected Channels can pander to the antics of the presidency then we are finished.

See how tin the pillars are looking

It seems Ambode has given up on Lagos traffic. How can an issue with Fadeyi bus stop be allowed to linger for so long with no hope in sight. So much manhours are unnecessarily wasted daily on that road.

Elrufai throws up a lie once in a while to remain relevant in the media. His penchant now is to form overly familiar and loyal to Buhari. Every time his decision and sense of judgement is questioned he tells the world how "he got approval from Buhari", reeks of inferiority complex or hypocrisy.

Interesting, I love this man's music any day. "Opi m fugbuelum Omekagu"

Ategberoson:
OSU means someone that's not an indigenous right?


how is that related to marriage. I'm lost here, anyone to educate me

Nope, it means someone who belongs to a deity.

I know someone who cancelled his wedding a week to the event because he realized the lady was Osu, I wonder how he'll feel now.

How do you explain this man occupies same office Dora Akunyili occupied? They are like words and opposite.

Most supporters of Buhari just like this man don't believe in him, they are only after their belly and interest.

As much as I dislike this govt, ASUU is confused and seem to fight for their pockets alone. They've been going on strike since I was born, what has strike achieved.

Will employer of labour discount the years students waste to ASUU strikes when they place age limitations to job applications? On the average a student in our school:
Wasted 1- 2 years looking for admission
Wastes 6 - 12 months to ASUU strike
Waste 4 - 6 months waiting for NYSC call up letter.

Yet after it all employers will demand for 2yrs work experience at age 24. The Nigeria students are the biggest loser of all these.

Omololu001:
must you guys scream buhari for everything ? They are still negotiating.

Those labour Union leaders are very foolish people who will go on strike for about 2-3 days and will call off the strike after that.

I think labour Union should also go on strike concerning the salary of National Assembly members.

You are right, they should also go on strike against National Assembly but they have to start somewhere; their own welfare first. The govt should cut down on their excesses and pay labour a living wage.

I blame NLC for waiting for this long, it takes a long time for Buhari to articulate an issue, let's hope he still has the time.

debaj10:
when you have a few minutes during the week, walk into any mfb near you and ask them the pros and cons of this policy, k?
promise to share the answer you get?

who will invest in a microfinance bank, when big banks like Skye can fail just like that?


hm, most of us will be shocked at the number of taxes a new firm has to pay! why on earth will a sane country have these kinds of laws?!


in the short term (12/2020), is might be the safest- even only- option for depositors. in this economy, who won troway money?! abi dis won na new MMM?


this even goes beyond funding the new base. when the unqualified/merged banks close, where will their customers go to access loans? how far will they travel?
if the CBN failed to properly assess Skye bank which folded up last month, how will it monitor/assess thousands of microfinance banks


it's actually quite different from being evil- most policy makers are out of touch with the real world. the question is, who was consulted before this policy was drawn up?


you stabilize micro enterprise institutions by securing/guaranteeing deposits, improving monitoring, more effective operations; and other policies that draw micro enterprises to access loans near their point of business.
govt keeps wailing that many people are unbanked and there's too much liquidity in the market, yet its policies are reducing access to banks, creating uncertainty and appear to be deliberately aimed at making inclusion harder.
what stops the CBN from employing field assessors to monitor, advise, even market MFBs?


consecutively bad decisions means the politicians in power lack adequate knowledge to query such policy suggestions. why devalue your currency and still have to defend it every single day, with billions of dollars?! and yet, manufacturers still find it hard to access same dollars!
its madness!

All these and more were said when Soludo did same for commercial banks, looking back you can tell it worked. Solid Mfbs will effectively implement the microfinance policies and give confidence to investors and depositors. As at today most depositors fear to use most of the Mfbs because of the possibility of collapse. This policy will solve that problem and introduce professionalism in the sector.

This road has been an eyesore for decades. I had my NYSC PPA somewhere along that road and I regretted plying that route, several years have gone by and it's gone worse. Ogun prides its self of hosting industries yet can't muscle courage to give them a good road after all we know the FG is a failure already.
