Oh yes. I agree with you.

Ibo people are too timid and fearful ..that is why they got a useless leader like Peter Obi and grown ass Wo-MEN hide under their beds every Monday. grin

Nigeriañs deserve the leaders they have. Most Nigerians are deceitful in nature and lovers of corrupt practices.

They don't speak against evil, they are very timid and fearful... Nigerians deserve their useless leaders

So what will that person eat? I am not an Obi supporter, stop hiding behind political lies. Look through my posts, I am very objective.

Please what should someone earning 70k minimum wage eat? Sand or stone? You don't have a conscience!
I can't remember asking any clown if he or she supports Peter Obi.

So for a person earning 70k, the least quantity of rice in the market for sale is half bag? Mbok, how many 18k earners bought half bag of rice when it was 10k in 2015?

Oya, drop lies again.

So what amount of food can 70k buy in the market, since you're an expert in poverty economics.

Please tell us how someone (a single man) can survive on 70k monthly with the price of food. Just food alone, let's assume the person treks to work and has no bills to pay.

It takes a wicked soul to defend what you're defending.

I am not Igbo, neither do I support LP, and you mentioned me first.

Next time you quote people trying to defend poverty, first of all, pray to be in such a condition so you can know what it feels like, since you have no empathy.

I can't remember asking any clown which tribe or political opinion he belongs. But I remember one clown fuming from both sides of his mouth because he saw Peter Obi in my post.

I ask again, if 70k is too small for grade level 01, step 1, which doesn't even exist in the civil service, take the preaching to Allex Otti who thinks 18k is on the high side for Abians.

Why have you refused to answer the question? No dey disguise... Nobody dey do APC vs LP, I believe in neither of the 2 parties.

Just answer the question, what amount of food can 70k afford? Let's know if you have a working brain or not.

Empty barrel. Ordinary question that you initiated, you can't even answer. Well, I didn't expect much from you.

Like the chest-beating IPOB supporters on Nairaland, you Tinubu APC supporters are no different. You defend nonsense with barbaric enthusiasm, especially things that defy common sense.

You're not even worth the time. Keep talking to yourself.

Simple instructions, he can't take, yet feeling funky.

70k is too small, yet can't explain how 18k is sufficient.

Ipob and brain.

Traumatic Yulltide truly, or better called Tinubu Traumatic Yulltide.
Things are going from worse to worst everyday.
Tinubu asked us to endure yet he is living extravagant life styles, he lives a direct opposite lifestyle to what he asked us to live.

People now have to queue outside the cold weather in the night for rice . You asked us to use CNG but none of your vehicles and that of your members both government and family members use CNG.
This is seriously bad.

Before you come after me, please tell a lot of dying Nigerians where they could get cheap items contrary to the prices stated by Punch.
It's well
This pisses me off all the time. And some people are calling it good initiative in a country that has crude oil as her major income earner! That's hypocrisy

Honestly, there's rarely been a time in this country's history where Nigerians were queuing and dying because of rice... The effects of the economic policies are just too much and there are too little measures put in place to help people cope.

Minimum wage = 70k.
Half bag of rice🌾 = 50k
5 litres of vegetable oil = 25k, salary don finish! No other food item, transport, clothing, rent, bills, protein, gas added ooo...

Meanwhile the president in his last interview was still saying he doesn't believe in price control, so no plan to reduce cost of food, so people still cannot survive on the new minimum wage.

Tinubu must do better and not focus on his own power agenda. Nigeria seems like a lawless country, but I know God has his way of judging those in the political sector. Where your political influence ends is where God's judgment begins...

I hope Bola Tinubu and the APC take note. If Nigerians continue to groan, God will strike.
God will surely strike. We dey wait.

We eat half bag of rice per month in my family, like once a day. It is not even enough. So, if you don't buy half bag at once, it is still going to add up at the end of the month if you buy it bit by bit. So, what is your argument

So a minimum wage earner isn’t at least entitled to a bag of rice💁🏻‍♀️ Wow!
Those of you that voted for Obi, you see what you’ve caused?
Atiku would’ve been the president instead of this insensitive and wicked group of vultures🤦‍♂️

He's saying it is time for you guys to stop defending failure. My family and I voted for Tinubu, I even defended his votes in my polling unit. But this man called Tinubu has proven to be a failure and a disaster. Anyone still defending Tinubu, his economic policies and the outcome of his policies that we have seen so far should get his or her head examined. We must know when to stop, I know it takes courage to do so.
The way everything is being run by him, there is no glimpse of hope

But you need to understand Governments the world over no government tries to deliberately impoverish it's people. None including the Taliban and the Kim's north of the 38th parallel.

Why did you forget to give examples of how/where God came down to strike because the humans He created in His image failed to work their own salvation from their leaders looters huh

Was it God that made us listen to the lies of T-Pain when he packaged Buhari as messiah of change instead of the master of shege that he really is? That was four years after calling him CPC's expired leader, just so he could get his own ebilokan turn under the tribal Yorubalokan disguise.

Was it God that made Obasanjo endorse Buhari despite knowing he was clueless on economic managementhuh

Or maybe it was God that struck Peter Obi to grab SE votes almost 100% in his failed tribal attempt to be president that only weakened PDP chances and made Asiwaju president?

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.
