People are not allowed to challenge your flawed position.

You do not know it’s a global thing simply because you do not have awareness of happenings in the globe.

AllBlack:
Is the reality far from what we are facing here? and YES I was talking about our very own NIGERIA

AllBlack:
Yes I have zero awareness. I don't even have an international passport not to talk of dreaming of visa. Oh sh!t, I don't even have a TV or radio, not to talk of Internet. I can't even read.
Keep talking about the globe as an excuse when the truth is right there in your face, right here at home. with all the history of financial impunity and horrible years of horrible governance, you can still choose to easily sweep them under your foot and carry the banner of global happens as a facade for political correctness.

I'm drinking Garri as I type now. I couldn't afford sugar. I bought two cups.
Through out yesterday, I starved.
Tommorow I don't know how I can cope when I enter the class to teach. I pray I don't slump while teaching. It's sad.

MT:
You might travel the world and still be deeply uninformed.

That is what happens to an “economic migrant”

AllBlack:
From "I have not travelled" to Economic Migrant? You can do better with your guessing.
Keep trying hard to convince yourself that this has nothing to do with years of bad governance. You are almost there.

motionarena:
You fuul
We know but what consigns us with Niger?
So we have converted it to a Nigerian thread cause we are facing same issues.

MT:
I do not need to take a guess about you. It’s pointless. Your brittle intellectual reasoning is under the spotlight here.

This country is a mess sometimes I try to consider leaving permanently but I don't just know. I have a feeling that the country might become good some day.

This gamble I hope it would be worth it.

Niamey, Niger — At a Niamey market, mother of five Rakia Abdou haggles hard for a sack of rice, a staple out of reach for many in Niger due to record inflation.

“The prices of local food are falling but those for imported products are still high,” she said at the Wadata market, lightly coated in dust carried by the wind of west Africa’s Harmattan dry season.

It is almost a year since the lifting of heavy sanctions on Niger imposed by regional West African bloc ECOWAS to protest the overthrow of civilian president Mohamed Bazoum in 2023.

But constantly changing prices mean that many of Niger’s 26 million inhabitants face the grim daily choice of having to adapt or even go without.

Four days after military officers seized power, the Economic Community of West African States slapped tough economic and financial measures on landlocked Niger, one of the world’s poorest countries.

Economist Abdallah Souleymane said the sanctions “completely disrupted the supply chains” and resulted in “difficulties with imports”.

There were “repercussions on the cost of many products, particularly food”, he added in an interview on national television.

Inflation in Niger peaked at a record high of 15.5 percent in June last year before falling towards the end of the year, data from the National Statistics Institute showed.

For 2025 to 2026, it is expected to remain high at 5.4 percent, according to World Bank projections.

Border closed, long detour

Trade unions say the main factor driving costs higher is the closure of the border with Benin, which has the closest port through which 80 percent of Niger’s freight transited.

Niger, which is battling jihadist violence, refuses to open its border with Benin, accusing it of harboring jihadist training camps — an accusation Porto Novo denies.

Niamey has found a workaround via the port of Lome in Togo.

But this forces thousands of trucks to make a long detour and cross eastern Burkina Faso, running through a region also plagued by deadly jihadist attacks.

The new routes entail higher costs that are passed on to customers in the prices of essential necessities.

While many of you are struggling to eat and stay healthy, they're using your money to pay hordes of online miscreants and social media influencers to remind you about Jan 15, 1966.

Corruption is everywhere. When the US mismanages billions of dollars in their military industrial complex projects, how many people come here to foam in the mouth?

abbey621:
How do you know it was mismanaged? Every budgeted dollar in military spending is approved and reconcilled yearly! Unlike Nigeria where there's no accountability, Congress actually keeps such spending in check.......There's the Budget and Appropriations Affairs (BAA), people lose their jobs and possible jail term if they mismanage government funds, can you say the same for 9ja? Stop comparing apples with oranges!

misreal:
This is talking about nigeria oh,but nigeriens.
Make una open eyes read well oh

AllBlack:
90% of all those crap you see in market as beverages are just chemical formulas that China has sold to these companies to help them increase profit without using original materials for actual production. How many of them buy cocoa for production? Also, don't forget the article that exposed the FAKE milk products being sold in Nigeria for years.
Too many lies in the food industry.

nedekid:
The Nigerian purchasing power can it afford proper milk, it is mixture of soy, veg fat and milk powder we are consuming. The higher the soy and vegetable fat the more affordable it is.
Atleast people can boast to their neighbours say them drink tea with milk. Lol

I know because I read and wouldn’t come to open platform like this to show my ignorance. I don’t also just assume there is no rot or deep frauds in the western world committed by people in power.

In 2024, US department of defence failed their 7th audit consecutively.

https://breakingdefense.com/2024/11/pentagon-fails-7th-audit-in-a-row-eyes-passing-grade-by-2028/

They are even hoping they would have a clean audit by year 2028 which is still considered probable. Some entities always have their hands in the cookie jars.

abbey621:
I've been working in audit for over 13 years here in the USA and I've audited government agencies before, you really don't understand the difference between functional/operational errors and fraud/crime do you? I'll give you an example, a department went over their annual budget by 25000 USD, during the audit it was discovered they accidentally paid a vendor twice, this is not fraud but operational error. Failing an audit does not automatically mean fraud mr. cookie jar

Further, the fact that they are audited shows there's some form of accountability, the result of these audits are reviewed by the BAA and ultimately Congress, this is the difference between Western countries and 9ja! This is why there's no uproar because there are checks and balances.......This isn't rocket science my guy

MT:
Mr I-have-been-an-auditor-from-the womb , read the attached document.

No matter how you want to lick the ass of the westerners, there is hefty fraud going on there. You were trying to blame failure of the audits test on mere operational accidents and not intentional fraud. Most of you guys are simply impossible. You will create a different rules for the whites while you throw your own under the bus .

You should be embarrassed.
