What would make the country not to afford it? Wasn't it affordable before?

It was never affordable, we were borrowing for it before that was why every govt had tried to remove the subsidy

Spy360:
Ok. Now that he has removed subsidy why are we still borrowing?

Borrowing itself cannot be an excuse to remove subsidy. We are an oil producing nation. How else can be benefit from our natural resources?

If the issue is corruption then Tinubu should be solving that not punishing the citizens.

Yes we are borrowing for other projects. e.g capital projects not just borrowing for consumption

TemporaryHansel:
Fubara can't win a primary election unless they dash him ticket the way obidients have been saying Obi should be dashed ticket without contesting primary.

If Fubara is given the ticket, APC would lose rivers state. Simple.

If Tinubu is wise like I think he is, he will back Wike. Of all the others on the side of Fubara none has won an election before, Some cannot even win their Street. Wike has shown that he can deliver his state

No be by carrying structure around, Amaechi had APC structure and Federal power for almost 10yrs he couldnt win Presidency, Governorship nor even LGA for his party in Rivers

Wike delivered Rivers to APC at first attempt.

That shows you who has street credibility not those newspaper pages politician

Who lied to you?

So all the resources we generate in Nigeria cannot cater for the needs of the people? Is that what APC is telling us?

raumdeuter:

You're not getting the point. Oil is our natural resources. Fuel/gasoline is gotten from oil. So saying that we are borrowing is irrational and unacceptable. APC mismanaged our economy

Just to please Wike?

You are a scientist, now lets do the calculation. What is the Nation annual revenue and divide it by the population

The answer you get, Now check any nation with that answer that is providing fuel subsidy to its people

Spy360:

Elections is not to please anyone. None of these anti Wike people including Fubara can win elections on their own for Tinubu. They have never been able to do it

Wike has been able to do it

Oil is our major natural resources, we sell the oil to fund the economy. Fuel for driving and generator is not the only thing that happens in our economy, roads have to be built, salaries paid, economy maintained all from this oil sale

From PDP times they have been trying to remove subsidy and failed until, APC Tinubu did

Just watched a video on VDM's page of how he met Nigerian students who are on scholarship in Morocco, but the government abandoned them.

No allowance... Nothing.

Infact, there's a video of a Moroccan Real Estate agent, begging the FG to pay their students, so they can pay her.

And I remember how people were saying Nigerians are demarketing Nigeria after the AJ accident. No matter how you try to be positive, it just gets worse.

The one wey burst my head na say Niger Republic ensures that they sponsor their citizens without owing.....The same Niger Republic wey we dey use laugh for here.

Nigeria, the country that huge sum of money is always missing every time..

This has been happening for decades. Morocco is even nearby. I know of people that were abandoned in Ukraine and Russia. Places where if you don't have money for winter heating you might freeze to death.

There are some people chopping the money meant to get to those students.

It's pathetic.

Na by force to sponsor people go there?

What kind of a country is this?

You're a wise man. Fubara can't even deliver himself talkless of delivering the state for Tinubu, or maybe APC/Tinubu doesn't need rivers state. If they need rivers state and they think the right person for the job is Fubara, they'll be brought back to reality soon.

Nigeria has a management problem, not a revenue problem.

I tell you the way it is, Not the way you want it to be

People might hate on Wike and postulate every theory they want

Even the Jibola Bashiru APC spokesman, Has he ever won an election for APC in his Osun state? APC lost last governorship in Osun, APC lost presidency n his Osun, even in 2018 he was losing until APC Federal came to his rescue

If Wike and others had not delivered for Tinubu, will he have the mouth to be talking

Seasoned politicians know those with street credibility and not newspaper and Twitter politicians

Help me ask am oooo
Them just dey defend like VVD

Major lesson I learnt from middle east conflict is that western nations and their leaders lack morals,when Russia aggression I'm Europe expands,trust me it's coming,I won't side with any nation I will call for ceasefire the same they did anytime Isra el responded to attacks.

I will sit on the fence.

This is poor response. You're saying our oil cannot fund our development and happiness as a nation.

Any government with the resources of Nigeria that cannot provide any form of benefit should resign.

It cannot which was why I told you to do the Maths

The resources of Nigeria is not enough to provide all the free stuffs you want

You get benefits already from govt. Primary secondary education is free. University education is heavily subsidized compared to what other nations around us pay

The only rationale for Trump to give Tinubu the “Maduro treatment” is if Tinubu wakes up one morning and announces that Nigeria will no longer sell her crude oil in US$.
Any other narrative na wash

That too, so long as they aren’t sold in any other currency

Trump can't do anything even if they're sold in another currency. I thought the administration was making plans to start selling oil in naira some years back, was that only on paper?
I don't remember the countries at this moment, but some countries stopped trading in $ some years back during the Biden admin, and nothing happened to them.

E don shele.. The actual bond amount could be either $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000 which will be determined solely by the Visa Officer during the visa interview. The pilot program starts on January 21 of this year🙆🏽‍♂️

The amount is only refundable if the traveler
- exits the U.S. before the expiration of their authorized period of stay,
- and also exits the U.S. through certain airports…

I just hope other countries don't follow this country route, but are people still interested in this US

Most persons going to the US for business most likely have that amount of liquidity to tie down.
