USELESS STATEMENT...

Goodyness:
Someone should help me remind Mr. Lie Mohammed that the countries he was comparing Nigeria with have social security for their citizens. Primary and secondary education are free. UK and Canada have free healthcare, in other countries like US where it is otherwise, there is basic healthcare (Medicaid) for the poor, food stamps are also given to poor families so that their children don’t go hungry. There is also jobless benefit for the unemployed in the UK etc.

In Nigeria there is absolutely zero social safety net! Zilch! When this government pretended to create something for the ‘poor’, it became a conduit for them to suck the treasury dry. Set of wicked and evil vipers. Judgement awaits you and your generations.

Actually Nigeria has always had a lot of programs to help the poor, going back a long time before even 1999.

Education, electricity, healthcare, pilgrimages are all subsidized in Nigeria. I'm sure there's more. All this despite the fact that Nigerians don't pay taxes; citizens in the UK, USA and Canada pay a lot of tax. Add to that, they're way more productive than Nigerians. Few medicines or innovative products have been discovered or made in Nigeria. I understand your anger, but we have to think about everything logically.

Apc startede with blame games they'll end with blames as well. Now they're blaming Europe I ask is it today that prices started skyrocketing? Even when crude prices is above 100$ they're still complaining that it's going to bring hardship.

So because it is being experienced in the US and UK, it must be experienced in Nigeria too. Rubbish!

cp3o:
Closing the southern border, arbitrary customs tariff hikes, shutting down the local refineries for 7 years, building railways to interior parts of Niger Republic, pushing the doctrine and policy of appeasement for killer herdsmen, "bandits" and kidnappers to the detriment of Nigerian armed forces, anti people policies, rabid indebtedness with nothing to show for it, where has he done well? He seems to feel he can kill and terrorise the country to submission, and he will not be taken to task for the horror his regime has unleashed on this country.

You've said it all

Buhari has bad advisers.

dre11:
Not Nigeria’s Problem — Buhari Government
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, described the rising prices of petroleum products in the country as a global problem.

I really shake my head. Is it that our leaders don't have conscience at all?

Can u compare standard of living in these countries to Nigeria?
Despite the food increase as he said, the standard of living in developed countries is better than what we have here

Ok

adecz:
Nigeria food prices have been
on the rise since 2015.

This nonsense government of old
Muslims like taking fake examples from
abroad.

During the the COVID lockdown, these
countries they are quoting were giving
their vulnerable citizens $300 every
week to take hold body.

But in Nigeria, lucky people were
getting one 50kg bag of rice for one
street to share. Then APC government
locked up the rest in warehouses to
use for campaign.☹️☹️☹️☹️

Yeye lie, lie shameless people.

Lol! The chief architect that foisted the Buzus on us is skimming to come and finish what sai baba started.

It shall not be well with their generation yet unborn, I swear.

alsudan:
What a senseless comment from a Government that gives its citizens the Middle Finger at every opportunity.

E no go better for the people way foist these Buzus on Nigeria.

Fahdiga:
Even though it is a global problem but other countries are dolling out palliatives to their citizens to help cushion the effects but here the lifeless government is hell bent on killing Nigerians with multiple taxes and obnoxious laws. Buhari is a certified failure simple

Before you start insulting presidency, what about the Governor's who collect monthly allocation on behalf of the state every month. State Government is closer to the people that presidency. Let's start holding them accountable.

Eyah, we don almost forget dis comedian of a liar.

Of course Bastard, rising food prices are experienced everywhere.

It is now very convenient for you to compare with the US and UK! When it comes to wages though, you will not say the the UK hourly wage is about £9.50 and the US depending on the state could be up to $13 and hour.

Dear Bastard, this means some people earn in a day what you pay some people in 3 months!

Then you compare their rising food prices to ours?

Failure

Flexherbal:
Yes indeed it’s a global problem, but let’s learn to handle our own business first.

Don't listen to these mad people óò. Things that get expensive in abroad are compensated with another thing, example more money for salary, tax cut and so on. Lastly d percentage of things getting expensive is under 1% while in Nigeria is 200% to 1000%. Make una do d maths. Comparing Naija to UK and US lol, there are couple of countries in Africa doing far better than those 2!!!!!!!!!

It is only problems that they use to compare us with these countries. Nonsense

Uprightness100:
To be Sincere, they are right on this.

The Ukraine/ Russia war is bringing the world into the Shadows of the Great Tribulation. Russia and Ukraine are responsible for 50% of the World's Wheat.
Russia is a very Major Force in Gas in the World. The Covid Plandemic also caused a whole lot.

Famines, Inflation, Hunger, are at an all time High.
But Guess what ? It's in times and Seasons as these that those who BELIEVE and TRUST in ANCIENT of DAYS, Live Large. I don't mean those who believe in GOD in Mouth or Just lips Service. I mean those who Depend on GOD indeed!

We Live by the Economy of Heaven and not by what the Nations say.
Do yourself good to Hop in to JESUS Christ indeed, Walking with HIM, Depending and Trusting in HIM. You will see and Understand Miracle.

Yimus

"We still have good people around". Leave his own family out of this scam great "opportunity".

Honestly, I don't like insulting people online but I must say that this lai man is the most useless minister of information we had in the history of Nigeria

Very fast to comment, comment on ASUU and compare with UK, USA.. Compare electricity with us and UK..mumu man wey na get common sense ..APC is a failure..

Why should people take this man seriously? it's clear he's not normal, you get to know that from his outfit every time. Come rain, come sunshine, cold or heat period, he always dresses like someone catching cold, do you need any doctor to tell you that he's not normal?

Why is APC always comparing Nigeria and the West during adversity and never during prosperity

mmsen:
And my response was to a blatant lie.

No additional help is being rendered anywhere.

The link was to prospective assistance and if it's anything like the covid-19 assistance it will be inconsistent and insufficient.

Don't mind that lady. She will conjure and twist information to suit her narrative and deceive gullible Nairalanders. She likes to bamboozle

Tinubu the Messiah is warming up to come and finish the country. Nigeria is cursed I guess

dubaiprince:
Agreed. In the UK energy prices have increased by 54%, Public transportation increased, council tax and food prices have all increased. However, minimum wage is increasing from April, Government is giving rebates on council taxes for most households, compulsory interest fee loan to be repaid over 5 years is given to all households on energy bills and some employers are looking at increasing pay to cushion the effect of high cost of living and inflation. Though all these measures are still not enough but it is still something.

The question to Lai and the government is what are measures put in place to help the citizens here?

Is minimum wage increasing at or above the rate of inflation in the UK?

It's a lot more than 1%, housing prices are up 20% year on year in the States,

Renters across US face sharp increases – averaging up to 40% in some cities
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/16/renters-rent-increases-us-lease

The average transaction price for a new car was $46,426 in December 2021, according to Edmunds, up $5,850 — or 14% — from a year prior.

US inflation has already soared to a 40-year peak on the back of high demand, clogged supply chains, as well as rising energy, food and housing costs. In response, consumer sentiment has fallen to the lowest level since August 2011.

Did u read what I wrote? I was talking about day to day things like food, grocery and so on!!!! Do u remember the country u are comparing Naija situation to have good roads, social system, affordable health care system and so on?

Did you click the last link? It deals with general inflation, that includes food and fuel.

You cannot avoid housing costs, everyone needs a place to live.

And healthcare is unaffordable for many Americans too. Most Americans will tell you that the social system does not benefit them at all.
