The course of living is very high over here, everything is very expenses. A mudu of rice here in New York is $20 and a mudu of gari is $30. Same thing in the UK where my cousin is living.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth shocked what are they using Garri to do over there

Anything is better for now than a Nuclear bombs in the hand of a lunatic Iran regime
Who has ever used a nuclear weapon? Who has a nuclear weapon but wouldn't admit having it? Who is invading his neighbors kidnapping and killing foreign leaders?
Who is exterminating a whole population and destroying their cities?
We shouldn't fear those people we should only fear a country that has never invaded its neighbors.
How much brainwashing do you need to get to this level?

A price of $5.89 per 4 litres (gallon) is N8095.80 in converted rates (USD to Naira). So he is spending 0.4% of is minimum wage on 4 litres of fuel.

The Nigerian minimum wage is N70,000. 4 litres of fuel is currently N5500. The Nigerian is spending 7.8% of the minimum wage on 4 litres of fuel.

Who is in the worse state really?

Iran destroyed YEMEN
Iran destroyed Lebanon
Iran made irag ungovernable
Iran destroyed Syria....should I go on
Entire Gulf countries knows Iran hidden agenda to carry out Revolution in all Arabs countries and install her proxies
If not for Israel that liberated Lebanon....iran would have taken over Lebanon through Hezbollah ...declaring her as Islamic Republic and installed Hassan Nassaralla as supreme leaders ....
Stop covering up evil Iran regime

All those folks that like shouting? How much is the minimum wage in Nigeria vs minimum wage in the US?

Claiming that with their high minimum wage, they can afford it, hope una de see am?
Bro forget about minimum wage. You can still have that minimum wage for 1000%, (but) as long as the economy is useless, your 1000% minimum wage too is useless..

Even if the government increases Nigerians minimum wage to 500% today, that money is still useless. Your currency can never amount to anything if the countries economy is dying and trust me Nigerians will still cry that the 500% is not enough.

The solution is to fix the country, but Nigerians can't, because an hardcore tribalism mindset has been long installed and upgraded to the latest version.

Na now their fowl lay cooked eggs grin

Even we that didn't vote here, didn't Tinubu hit the ground running on his first day
Who & what prevented you from being part of the 10% of our population that voted for Tinubu to have his own turn at continuing APC shege in 2023 huh

Racoon:
The ranking placed Nigeria in 186th position, only after Haiti, among 187 countries of the world. Nigeria is the second country in the world with the lowest voter turnout, worse than war-ravaged Afghanistan and Libya, a new ranking by Picodi has shown.

The ranking placed Nigeria in 186th position, only after Haiti, among 187 countries of the world. Nigeria also ranked worst in Africa. Nigeria’s low voter turnout

PREMIUM TIMES had reported how Nigeria recorded a new low in voter turnout during the last general elections. With a national turnout of 29 per cent, a Premium Times analysis showed that the last election had the lowest participation rate in the country’s six decades of independence.

It further revealed that of the 93.4 million registered voters this year, 87.2 million people collected their Permanent Voters Card and the total number of actual voters on election day was only 24.9 million..The winner of the election, Bola Tinubu, had less than nine million votes, roughly 10 per cent of the total eligible voters.

Another analysis by this newspaper revealed that all the 18 candidates in Nigeria’s February elections received only 27.55 per cent of the total eligible votes.

How do we fix this country without REDUCING the total package of public office holders to reflect their value added to the society, compared with civil servants?

How do we fix the country without EXPECTING government to employ well paid workers to make education free for all children and water available for all residents huh

Did Lebanon ask Israel for liberation? Explain how Iran destroyed these countries. Is it like how US destroyed Afghanistan, Iraq or Libya or is it like how Israel destroyed Gaza and now focusing on Lebanon?

Nigerian IDF’s said the war is not affecting the US.

Americans should be patient. We are still going to 200/barrel.
What of Nigerians who have been patient for Tinubu to crash petrol price since May 2023 when he hit the ground running cluelessly like a headless pig 🐖?

What happened to the renewed hopelessness huh

Deltafirstson:
Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

The war against Iran is necessary for the entire free world. As powerful as North Korea is with Nuclear weapon, they don’t go about arming non state actors in other countries. They suppress their own citizens and that’s it.
Really?

Are you blind to the fact US and Israel created Al-Qaeda and ISIS and its various offshoots to destabilize the middle east?
These are non-state actors.

When US and its evil twin create and arm these terrorist groups to project their nefarious and destabilizing agendas, you hype and hail them

But when the citizens and government of the region band together to counter, resist and liberates their land, you call them terrorists.

Let us dial back to the time before Israel was created. Did anyone ever shout " death to America" the answer is no.
Go a little further and find out the population of Palestinians as compared with Jews in Palestine in 1948.
Compare the ratio today and see if you will not ask yourself what happened.
Well, we all know what happened. The apartheid system in Isreal actively supported by the US started a systematic displacement and killing of Palestinians.
Now, ask yourself if you were a Palestinian what would you say? Peace be unto the people who killed your entire family?

Iran’s economy has already collapsed pre war! Those Persians have practically nothing to lose! They have seen it all!

They are still delivering oil to China via railways.

The biggest loser is the US. Petro dollar slumping! Oil prices bringing the world to her knees.
