MTN is listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Go to the South African embassy.


When will these students protest against Nigerian police that has been killing innocent Nigerians?

they wont protest when more than 300 Nigerians are slaughtered, when universities are in bad state.
they wont protest about bad givernance o

All the best to them.

Official early congratulations to president Tinubu for his reelection

That Atiku and Kwankwanso will be in the same party, I said it won't be possible and should that happen, 2023 votes sabotage will be repeated. Now add the factor of Obi also living ADC

Even with the united opposition, Atiku, Obi, Kwankwanso, Amaechi and co can't still defeat president Tinubu not to talk of when they are scattered into pieces.

On a free and fair election, Tinubu will lose so badly. Like, badly. Like badly. Guy, Nigerians dey para over suffering this man leadership has casued. for the first time in my life, I felt the pain of Nigeria as Tinubu reduced my purchasing power. Many I know cant do what they used to do again and u want them to vote in the same man?
Like guy? come on na.

Nigerians are balless, fearful and cowards. This is why I love south Africans. Nigerians will come online and claim that south Africans are lazy. But no one lazy reach nigeians. Politicians of same skin dey r&pe Una on a daily here. Like what did I just read?
The other day, soldiers killed someone in his house. The other police killed someone in public. All we do is what we know how to do best.

The prize of this fruit skyrocket as soon the awareness of it's medicinal and curative value became known.

If you put yourself on soursop diet , it naturally cures cancer.

Doctors do put cancer patients are on soursop diet and the cancer will vanish within a short time.

Yes, even the leave is medicinal. The demand skyrocketed

Gbadugbakun:
I agree. The goal is to unseat tinubu. If Obi stubbornly contest, he would end up reducing Atikus vote thereby giving tinubu a clean victory. He should join forces with Atiku.

So, why cant Atiku join force with Obi? I dont understand. Both of them had similar vote couts. Infact Obi was rigged out in reduced numbers in many states such as RIvers, etc.

On top which person head?
U said we should hold governors. Are we Efcc that supposed to hold governors? Or which governors? The same ones running to ur party and single on your mandate? It is ur duty to and ur agency to hold them. They are now ur ass lickers, so u cant do them anything. All of u are in the same group.
I will pay for loan that I cant count what I benefited from? If I show u the road my car drives every day, u go pity for the car. Nigerians sleep inside heat, with mosquitoe, then buy expensive fuel, then send their kids to private school because govt schools are wack, so what exactly are u using the loans to do? Reward politicians? This man is an elitist. They are people who reward the very few elites in the society. While the majority of the masses suffer. f%ck u sir. i hate eveyrthing about u and ur likes/

HacheNoire:
Professor Wole Soyinka is highly learned and familiar with economics indices to assess and reach judgement.

You do not expect him to address issues when there is none. He is familiar with the great shift His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is working on and aware about the course where The President is navigating towards.

When you see critics silent, is not that they are scared, bribed or being cowards. It is because they CURRENTLY do not have critical issues to address.

It will be nuisance for The Great Wole Soyinka to start addressing matters like Peter, who has no in-depth knowledge about economics or a sense of feasibility to know where the country is drifting towards.

This was what Buhari supporters said until he wasted 8 years of our lives
Electricity: 0
Corruption 0
I wish u can watch documentatry on who has been getting most of the contract FG awards
Poverty extremely high!
Electoral reform 0
security: worse
rascality of politicians
purchasing power, horrible
Education: horrible
Healthcare: pathetic
So, what index are u talking about?

helinues:
Bitter truth that the ignorant will argue about.

Ordinary increasing the electricity tariffs to boss the distribution of electricity, we all heard the loud noise from the Nigerians

Okay, so why cant u enable your citizens to afford the electricity? Like in in other countries where citizens afford light? At least whe u pay people well in a society, they can afford quality of life. So, whose fault is it that over 95 percent of the citzens cant afford good quality of life but all politicians can live large? That shows the system is faulty.
And what he said is actually funny becus he is asking govt to at least ensure there is light at night for citiznes to use and sleep. That is also hard for a failed country called Nigeria

Haydens:
No level for that terrorist country.

Nah, Nigeria can't survive what those guys have survived.
Hope U know that Nigeria too is a terrorist country

Haydens:

Trump na man abeg......

Iran is under sanction for 40 years yet fought two great countries and didn't bow. Bro, the real deal here is Iran. That means if those guys werent under sanction and only one country chooses to fight them, na die o

Hehe, honestly I wasn't supposed to be a black man with these set of dishonorable men and political jobbers, black men why why why?

Even citizens from the best governed countries and with high standard of living still travel to other countries.


Saying stay to fix corrupt country is insensitive!

It is not insensitive, we should be bold enough to fight these monsters. The country is rich enough

FreeStuffsNG:
Camara was a central figure in the military government that seized power after back-to-back coups in 2020 and 2021.

I knew something very dramatic will take place in those rogue military coupist-led states since they gleefully announced their ecowas exit.

They lost the Nigeria-ECOWAS protection because of the personal ambition of their coup leaders and are now being cannibalized by their more powerful adversaries.

Bammako has fallen.

Burkina Faso and Niger coupists are in hiding. Their countries record failed coups almost every month and their coupist leaders rule from seclusion.

Democracy, in spite of its challenges, give more citizens opportunity to participate in bringing peace and development to their nation.

Since the coupists violently took over in Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali, peace and progress took flight! They have no legitimacy to exercise Presidental powers.

What development has democracy brought to Nigeria?
What do u call peace? Is it the stability of the looters or the stability of the citizens? If u say for the looters such as Nigerian leaders and their families, oh, yes, they enjoy peace. But if u talk of the citizens, no let Benue, Jos, Zamfara, Borno, and practically almost all rural ares of nigeria are not enjoying peace. Thousands that die par year in Nigeria is more than those who die in Ukrain. So, what security are u talking about?
Security for the looter class? yes.

Ghaliz:
A country with only 16 million registered vehicles most of it old and beat because the cost of a new vehicle is 25x the average annual income. Nigeria is governed by moɍons.

Lol, these are what the Europeans asked him to do o. Everything he is doing, starting from fuel, naira floating, tax, they told him. He dances to their music, i dont know what they hold on him though. That must be big. No other president in naija history has danced to European interest as much as this man. We must chase him out else he will finish us all in his second term

akpumping7720:
This Jagaban naaaa very brainy man
Just to unseat him, different opposition has to come together and start organising summit again.

Briliant in what sense? What do u Nigerians even call briliance? No wonder the entire country till date can not solve one problem, basic electricity that Tunisia has, Nigeria can not fix. Like, water, light, nothing. No problem solved since 1960 because what u people call briliance is mere cheating.
What is briliant here? APC merged together to present one candidate to fight GEJ, does that mean GEJ was briliant? Omo, ur shame dey shame me. No use this brain cross road. Briliant and he cant fix one problem in four years. South Africa made major electricity break through in under two years o. Make una dey play

budaatum:
I would not be suing a politician. I'd be suing the bus company. And the fact that "leaders do it openly" does not mean I should docilely "expect the worse" and accept it being done to me!

well, nothhing will come out of it if leaders arent sued for same thing, bro

budaatum:
I hope he sues the company for ethnic discrimination!

Who has sued Nigerian politicians for ethnic descrimination?
The leaders do it openly, so they should expect the worse

Racoon:
This is not funny @all. Building useless roads while people are dying, insecure? Why borrowing to fund projects that are of no economic value to the dying citizens of this nation? God punish whoever put Nigeria in this mess with the plagues of Buhari and Tinubu.

hahaha, project contract is the easiest and legit way of looting. The thing is the Nigerian people are defeated, conquered. They were conquered by whites, now by their own people.
So, politciians use these projects to loot such as flyover
If the project is 10 naira, they will say it is 200k naira. U get? So, in the eyes of everyone it is legit. They also use it to award contract to their croonies. It is called favourism, nepotism, etc. The blaack race may actually need to scatter first before rebuilding to ever get librated from this. This is also why I support South Africans. Because typically, Nigerians will elect rubbish leaders, then run away to other countries as cowards. And still bent on electing useless leaders. There are Nigerians in the Uk who will vote for this regime even though na this regime chased them out of this country o. That is how stupid an average N$gerian is

Mirasteel:
I hope this isn't skit?

It is skit for sure. Who goes about carrying camera up and down for stuff like this. And how did she get into his apartment? lol

oyichi:
which community, what is her full name?

Why should I give u my woman's full name? Her native name is Chinoye. And their community is Obiarukwu
Core Igbo people. Even one of their professors recently was on Channel TV to put the claim down that they are core Igbos. Infact, the first military coup that led to many Igbo deaths in Nigeria was from Anioma. Those people never denied being Igbo. Most of these narratives are from online

oyichi:
When we told them that Ned is wasting their time, they refusd to listen, they were blinded by land grabbing, majority of delta north doesn't subscribe to the idea of lomping them to the south east, these people have history, that they speak languages that have some semblance with igbo does not make them igbos, even in ukwuani, it is a sacrilege to call someone igbo, it is an abomination because it means slave, the south east should create a state from the existing five states they have, stop dragging people that has no root with you, learn from the yorubas, they are not dragging the itshekiris

hahaha, oga stop to dey lie. My babe is from Ukwani and my babe family are poud Igbos
Many movements are already on this issue. Infact, they are the ones pushing for it more than the Igbos in south east. So, make una stop to dey lie. Which one is Ukwuani? Place where i went with palm wine

Nigerians are cowards, look at country bragging among African nations. Nigeria is the most useless entity on earth. Ur citiznes are being kidnapped mostly non indegenes of this country, and u guys are quiet.
I want to ask a question, what dey heck is wrong with southern politicians? Why are u all so scared? No balls. Damn!
End this madness country unity! Establish identity to move from one region to another and this madness will end.
Since northern Nigeria has vowed to keep producing kids whom they wont send to school, wont give them skillsets, then they should take care of them selves.

Eriokanmi:
See his copy and paste lips. Awon agbaaya. The international community sending us financial aid to ensure smooth elections every 4 years must not keep quiet over this. These guys are so mean and irresponsible and im not surprised. They've carried their lagos unruly political hooliganism enter Abuja. Shame on you guys.

why must it be international community that will rescue Nigerians? cant nigerians fight for them selves?

HacheNoire:
Anyone can compose a novel about how His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) won’t be re-elected.

What’s most important is accepting the reality when it hits.

Like, have you not heard or seen the works and political formation of the APC. Have you not learnt from history about the political prowess of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

Naysayers should be humble and stare at the reality. Online epistles alters nothing! I can do a better a job at that and still won’t change the reality as of date.

The opposition should be planning towards 2039. The next 12 years is sealed already!

We are talking about suffering Nigerians and u are here talking rubbish. Is politics not about the masses anymore? I dont understand una o

Heffalump:
If someone can put you in prison, it means he's more than you in life. It is therefore wiser to guide your mouth to avoid further embarrassment.

VDM never go prison twice? What is so special about it? Nothing special here, VDM only took advantage of banter gone wrong, period. Nothing like pass here, the court only doing what it should do.

So, Buhari and Tinubu will be remembered for extreme hardship. Tinubu will be worse in terms of hardship. These two sets of leaders pushed most Nigerians to the highest level of suffering and struggle, and it became even worse under Tinubu. The man is an agent of suffering. The suffering is too much. Even those earning relatively well are affected this time. You will only escape if you are truly rich—if you have reached a certain level of wealth, with assets worth at least 200 million. If your cash inflow is less than 100 million, you will not enjoy a good standard of living here anymore.

Under Buhari, yes, you could still live fine. I recently checked the price of my car, which I bought for 8 million under Buhari—it is now between 12 and 14 million. This regime has wiped out the middle class. Only the upper-middle class, the rich, and the wealthy are safe now. The reason is that these groups push the economic burden downward onto the mid-middle class.

Now, Tinubu supporters will always tell you that the measures he took were necessary because Nigeria was collapsing, and that they inherited a failed economy. But the economy they inherited came from their own party. APC was in power for eight solid years—did they admit at the time that they were doing badly? No.

Also, the problems of this country were caused by the political ruling class across all parties. Many APC members were formerly in PDP and ruled for 16 years. None of these policies will affect the politicians, so why must the sacrifice be made by the masses who did not participate in the destruction of Nigeria? Why should I suffer and sacrifice for Nigeria when I did not destroy it, while those who did continue to enjoy?

This is the part I do not understand. On average, Nigerian politicians live in massive luxury. They do not understand what it means to lack fuel—the state always provides it for them. If they want solar installations, they go for the best and most expensive systems that can serve them for over 10 years, while the masses struggle to afford systems costing between 1 million and 5 million naira.

The ruling class, both past and present, along with their families, do not sacrifice anything. Why?

Why should I suffer for what I did not create, while those who created it do not suffer for it?

Some politicians are still enjoying their looted wealth to this day, and some have even transferred it to the next generation. So why must I suffer? I am not wrong to say I will not suffer for Nigeria. I did not create the problem, so no one should make me suffer for it. Policicians must participate in the sacrfice and should participate more.

I would have gladly supported taxes and other policies if they significantly affected politicians, but they do not. These people have access to enormous amounts of public funds, and no one seems willing to challenge them.

Have you ever looked at the pay packages of these politicians? Someone once told me about a commissioner in an oil-producing state who is now worth billions. These politicians may even rival the wealth of global billionaires. They have no innovation, no global products, no scientific contributions—yet they are extremely rich.

It was said that the late owner of Diamond Bank had over 100 luxurious properties in the UK alone. Do you think he is the only one? These politicians have accumulated wealth that could last generations. They have properties all over the world. They destroyed Nigeria—the masses did not. So why must the same ordinary people pay for the damage while politicians walk free? The masses are victims of the havoc created by the politicians for the past 60 years.

They say the tax policies will not affect the poor. Yet the “poor” threshold is set at 800,000 to 1.2 million per year. Tinubu even classifies people earning 25 million per year as high earners. In Nigeria, that income does not guarantee a decent standard of living. As a private citizen who works hard, you deserve a good life—you deserve quality education for your children and a comfortable lifestyle. So, 25m per year is not executive earning. To live comfortably in most state capitals, to rent an apartment alone that can be classified as executive apartment, that your 25m per year maybe cut into 2 alone for house rent. So, why call my income execative when my standard of life is not executive? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE TO ME, PLEASE.

But somehow, the ruling class believes these same citizens should bear all the sacrifices. Tell me—how does this suffering affect Tinubu, Buhari, Obasanjo, governors, senators, commissioners, or ministers? They are protected by state resources funded by the suffering masses.

If Tinubu truly meant well, he would have started by holding past leaders accountable and recovering stolen funds—across all regions and parties. That recovered money alone could significantly fix Nigeria’s electricity problem.

If he were serious, he would push policies to drastically reduce the cost of governance, cut political salaries and crazy packages they get, and require politicians to use public services like government schools and hospitals. If they do not want that, then they should not be in government. There must be serious consequencies for public corruption, such as death penalty before I can take any president serious.

Instead, fuel subsidy was removed—a benefit that, even if small, helped ordinary people—only for the money to be redistributed to politicians, who continue to misuse it. How does that make sense?

An okada rider loses the little support he had, while the funds are handed to governors with no accountability. There is no strategy, no structure, no plan to prevent corruption, waste, or nepotism. The small benefits the masses had are gone, and the money is now in the hands of those who caused the problem in the first place. I do not understand the logic in this.

I am not ready to sacrifice for a country whose problems I did not create while those responsible are exempted. My children deserve the same quality of life that politicians’ children enjoy.

I will only be willing to sacrifice when there is real accountability—when past leaders are held responsible, stolen wealth is recovered, governance costs are reduced, and political privileges are cut.

Until then, I do not see any fairness in asking the masses alone to bear the burden. I WILL NOT SACRIFICE UNTIL CORRUPTION BY PUBLIC OFFICE HOLDERS IS MET WITH DEATH PENALTY. POLITICIANS MUST USE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS, FAIRNESS MUST BE A MUST INCLUDING ELECTIONS. FUNDS RECOVERED MUST BE INVESTED IN FIXING ELECTRICITY, SOLVING HOUSING PROBLEMS AND ENSURING THAT LOANS ARE EASY TO OBTAIN FOR BUSINESSES AND HOUSING PROJECTS.

With your performance sir, on a free and fair election where people like Wike and senate president don't exist, U won't even get up to 3m vote.
Lol, if U remove vote buying which shines due to how U have dragged more Nigeians including middle class into poverty and struggling like, U can't even get up to 2m votes.
U can only win via electoral fraud. Baba, even middle class are bleeding now. We can't do a lot of what we could do before. U have sent us into struggling lines with Ur policies while U and Ur fellow politicians are immune to these policies. U and Ur families enjoy on our sweat. Only an idiot will vote a man who crashed our purchasing power. A man who refused to cut down governance cost, but increased suffering for the masses. It is a shame that U even have no shame to contest again. U failed big time.
Buhari was better than U are. U have made 20m look ordinary. Damn
Only U, removed fuel subsidy with no fix to electricity which means Nigerians buy double expensive fuel.
Only U made electricity expensive, only U still widen tax and dealt with us.
Like we are battling over 500 percent in increased prices of goods and services and U still broaden tax. Like how na? Like how na? Don't U understand that most of Ur citizens can't meet up anymore with their regular expenses and U are still taxing them?
U claimed the poor won't be taxed and pegged poverty at 800k per year. Bro, even people on 2m per month have cut down on most things just to stay afloat. Poverty line should be pegged at 20m per year. F&CK U.

Lithiumite:
The Japanese govt must have so bastardised their economy to have the highest number of suicides in the world.... the way you guys reason ,is second to non in stupidity.

Nigerians and blacks arent known for suicide baba. Japanese commit suicide not becus of hardship. Nigerians are commiting suicide now becus of hardship. At least everyone rescued said same thing.

kole22k:
Nothing good come easy. Story Story that is your story everyone has his own story to tell, thousands of people have made it in this same Nigeria, the path you have chosen is deferent from others. Nigerian is a beautiful country envy by thousands of foreign individuals Nigerian has been governed by many individuals before Tinubu so the problem of Nigeria today has nothing to do with Tinubu, he inherited the problem and he's making effort to fix it. Government is continuous, we shall continue to have different personalities in power till the end of the world. But Nigerian will be better and great some day.

Be better some day? By the way politicians are looting Nigeria? So, I should be suffering and paying 25 percent of my sweat to politicians for them to loot? Like, I read that his son has serious stake in the company handling the so called road projects. Like, i should be wasting my resources on politicians to loot and send their side chicks to all expenses paid trips? I dont see any fixing that he is doing. That is a big lie.

To fix Nigeria, he must fight corruption. Baba is not fighting corruption, infact, he is romancing it. There is no other issue Nigeria has than wastage and corruption. Nigeria has massive money, massive wealth. From litheum to gold, to diamond, to oil, to massive gas, gas alone is bastard money, to farmable lands, lots and lots of massive resources. All of these are stollen by politicians. If u hear what these men called politicians have. Someone was gisting me about the wealth of a commissioner in one state. Guy, I want run mad. This guy has made so much money within 4 years, money that 10th generation cant finish. If Tinubu truly wants to fix Nigeria, he should f^cking fix corruption and wastage, starting from him. He is doing everything he once condemned, so he is not f%cking fixing it.
A country that has done nothing for her citizens should never ever ever demand 25 percent of their income, especially those sourced outside the shores of this country. I mean, for what na? Do u know how much ministers are looting, govenrors, senators? So, we should just relax and work while they loot? These guys have eaten from us for too much and now, their kids want to rule over us.

Elzazzi:
Lol. How many people Dey see that 30M per year ? Same country that the minister of finance said less than 8% of the population have 500k naira in their accounts? Lol

This is also another thing most of u miss. Income tax will tax u on ur income, not how much u saved. Nigerians earn way more than the 500k but the problem is that the country is very expensive compared to income generated.
Also, the country due to having larger population of extremely poor and struggling people, the 20m u earned in a year will varnish because u have parents to care for, u have siblings who may still be struggling, u get babe who needs u, married men with kids are worse, 30m per year is not even enough go live comfortably with one wife and two kids. U will struggle. Dont forget u have parents, siblings, inlaws, even friends that will always ask for help, and u cant abandon them. In Nigeria, at the end, u cant save a kobo. So, not having 500k in the account is not same as earning. The income tax will tax ur 30m without minding if u were able to meet ur needs as a man. I can give u a proper break down. The problem is that most Nigerians arent smart to really understand.
Let me give u an example: Let say u make 25m per year and out of that 25m, u spent about 2.5 on generating electricity and nepa bills. Then before now, u werent paying income tax due to foreign sourced income tag.
Now, inflation is higher and everything has increased more than 500 percent due to fuel subsidy removal. this means serious pressure on ur 25m income. Let say before now, u could send ur two kids to school where they were paying 150k per term. u know how much that is it a year, right?
With theh inflation, the schools increased their school fee to 200k per term and u have two kids. Then everything u ever bought previously has increased significantly including rents. U are still earning 25m o per year.
Now, Tinubu wants share of ur 25m Dont forget the other tax u are paying from that same 25m. Based on calculation since u sourced income abroad, ur tax bracket is high since deductables arent much at all. So, u maybe paying up to 6.5 to 7m as tax. So, if u remove 6m from 25m u have 19m left. Now, Tinubu didnt solve the electricity issue. The 2.5m u spent previously to solve ur electricity issue in a year has risen to over 4.5m now, So, u will still attend to that issue.
Tinubu didnt fix public schools, so u have to pay 200k per child for ur kids school per term. Also, if u were able to have some few days off to relax and enjoy ur sweat previously, u cant do that anymore as ur income has been cut short.
U have options: remove ur kids from the good school and find cheapers ones for them, stop ur mini vacation, etc. U need to do all these cuts to pay Tinubu and his team ur income tax which maybe over 6m from 25m earning for most people who work online, therent much deductables.
It also means ur parent needs which u met previously, u may struggle to meet them. It means u may work like an elephant and harvest like an ant. Bro, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Nigeria should just kill me

Elzazzi:
Lol. How many people Dey see that 30M per year ? Same country that the minister of finance said less than 8% of the population have 500k naira in their accounts? Lol

Those few people shouldnt be taxed that heavily. A lot of those working online earn that and more. Yes, many software developers with one or two gigs a year easily will earn that. Many affiliate marketers, bloggers, content creators, etc. These are hustles that citizens fought so hard from nothing with no state benefit to build. They should be left alone. They made the income abroad, with mostly their own generated electricty, water, security, drive on terrible roads. It is pure wickedness to extract up to 25 percent from these people. Nah, that is evil. Tinubu wants to copy US and UK model of world wide income tax. But such model is jusfied only if the country actualy provide services that citizens be it private or public citizens enjoy from such as quality public healthcare service that can save me if I have kidney issue, heart issue, malaria, free of charge, quality public education, standard and clean roads, quality primary and secondary school so I dont need to send my kids to expensive private school which cost money, electricity so I dont need to be buying fuel for generator for house, generator for business, fuel for car. The list goes on
