You dey mind the idiots?

You want to increase federal workers salary by 40%. What about the informal sector where the overwhelming majority of Nigerians belong?

Even the 40% increase on federal workers will soon become worthless because the informal sector they refused to help will help themselves.

They will still have to buy fuel at 500 per litre and other things that will be affected.

An ominous cloud is gathering over Nigeria. It appears like our recklessness as a nation has finally caught up with us.

Sometime ago, it was predicted that there would be total government collapse in Nigeria and the effects will reverbrate beyond our borders. Except for the near anarchy during #endsars protests, Nigeria seem to have weathered the storm & we proved naysayers wrong. Or maybe we rolled out the drums too early. We just conducted an election that ended in a stalemate. The three contestants each claim to have won & are in court...

The government has decided that subsidy must finally be removed. Unfortunately, it's about to happen at the worst possible time. A time when overwhelming percentage are struggling to survive. If fuel prices go beyond 500 naira per litre as expected with the removal, the country will shut down. Most workers salary won't be enough to support them. For the unemployed or even underemployed, they won't be able to function again.

Nigerians are known for their thick skin and being able to tolerate grave sufferings. But, a combination of an illegitimate government & extreme suffering could trigger something that will shock the world.

The tribunal could save the situation by giving a judgement that will sooth nerves, otherwise they will ignite a H-bomb.

BigIyanga:
The poor will get poorer

Lol, the term poor is not well defined in Nigeria.

If you're earning below 400k monthly, you will definitely be affected. Now, what percentage of Nigerians earn up to 400k? I tell you, they're less than 3% of the total population. In other words, over 95% of Nigerians will be affected!!!

It's left for Nigerians to fight back now & live like normal human beings or remain docile and continue to exist as subhumans. People are already gnashing their teeth in excruciating poverty, then imagine what the situation will be when subsidy is removed.

Tinubu is already condemned by providence. He won't rule over Nigeria because the forces of nature has conspired against him. If the tribunal fails to stop him then the prediction about government collapse in Nigeria and total chaos is about to occur.

favor914:
Is there anywhere that it is written that you will not pass away before him, or don’t you know people that are younger than you that have passed away?

Beg Jehovah for forgiveness, as you keep gloating in your ignorance.

Neither is there anywhere it is written that you won't die before me. People younger and older than you have all died, so it could be you next.

Better ask God to forgive you. When you support killers, drug barons and evil men, the repercussions would affect you one way or another. Karma has a way of repaying evil people in their own coins.

GDP in poor undeveloped African country local state? no be yeye be this, wen even FG no fy give exact crude oil barrel production. Even Census data na rough-estimate.

IGR is an offshoot of GDP....cos you cant pay what you don't have as Soludo is disgracefully finding out.


Please, educate yourself more. the easiest data that can be gleaned is state IGR covers as you can't declare what you don't have else corruption charges.

NBS is not as foolish...GDP in local state of Ngr of no national database not to talk of state database.


I swear most IBO are illitrate, hahaha....!

You're such a dumb fellow. Most of you from the waste are just educated illitrates. The yardstick for measuring the size of any economy in the world is GDP, not IGR! Some countries or regions put less emphasis on tax while others focus on it. Dubai for example will have a relatively big GDP but small IGR because they don't extort taxes.

Igbos are above you guys, both in wisdom and knowledge, so stop hating. The person you quoted have shown you global data yet you continue to live in your fool's paradise.

computer0810:
Yes.....he will rule over u, all ur family and ancestors

Me and myy family? No, he can't! But my ancestors? Yes, he is likely to join them soon!

Lol, so things have become that terrible over there. The woman even looks like death already

The drug baron and his men really think that Nigerians are fools.

Amoda Ogunlere thinks Nigeria is now under his control. They have been promoting all manner of disgusting tribalism. Even trying to institutionalize primitive tribal supremacy in Nigeria. But I laugh at their foolishness.

By the time the dust off the violence they instigated in Lagos settles, the state will be returned to the true indigenes and the primitive Invaders will have no choice than to return to their state of origin.

The drug baron is hoping to rule Nigeria then install his son to rule Lagos. Thereby becoming a modern day emperor over Nigeria. With him in Abuja and his son in Lagos, who else can challenge him again till death and afterwards? The funny thing is that he thinks Hausas, Fulanis, Igbos and all other Nigerians are foolish not to see through his sick ambition. No, they're seeing everything playing out and they're bidding their time before cutting the modern day emperor Nero to size.

One thing has become very clear, the drug baron will end badly.

The funny thing In all this OBi matters .. is simple..
The very desperation of Asiwaju Tinubu to be President of Nigeria .. knowing he has plotted and plan all.. but never foresee the emergency of Obi and his Labour .. if he did .. OBi would have been dead by now..
Like Abba Kyari.. that’s was said to have died of Covid-19 :- even when those who know .. knows ..

Now Tinubu and southwest Apc are like bulls in China shop.. they want to destroy all.. and everything .. thinking that Nigerians are quite for nothing sake .. and that they’re fooling everyone at all times .. with their schemes ..

Little do they know .. that even today toddler in politcs is looking at their drawing and seeing the full stop .. even before they place the dot.. without anyone being worried

Of course replacing the Labour chairman with a Yoruba man loyal to asiwaju ..in an emergency take over is a smart move to prevent the audio interim government..
North knowing that all has been planned even before the election ..

Law of power .. “” planned to the end “ but Tinubu is planning as it comes ..
The audio that they felt would anger the Muslim north failed .. the mutiny has to come as plan b.. even plan C is in their ice box.. but who cares ..

The main fact is the tribunal .. which they believe they will influence after May 29.. then the Supreme Court .. with their southwest yorub already mouthing how they Yoruba man won’t betray his fellow Yoruba .. and for their inner minds .. Nigerians are stupid .. na their brain lugard take join Nigeria ..

They’ve threaten Obi .. they’ve lobbied him.. they said all and propagate all sort .. the man is quiet like stone .. not moved .. not even shown concern.. just doing his thing.. we know assassins are already an option.. in his state to be blamed on insecurity in the east.. we know all that

But we’re quiet ..

Nigerians are boiling .. ready to kick start that revolution that will swallow everyone .. I told one moniker .. am not worried about Obi .. am worried about Lagos and Yoruba people.. because they drum .. they’re beating .. Walahi Allah.. no other part of Nigeria is with them and they’ve failed to see this .. because they’re too fixed on power .

Nigerians swill wait patiently for Supreme Court .. then they will decide .. not inec dicide .. but Nigerians and Nigeria deciding

Asiwaju and his peeps can do all and manipulate themselves.. but you see that documents ..

Walahi he will return it

Is a must..

Na time

You've said it all 100%. History has a way of repeating itself. Tifnubu thinks Nigeria is now under his control. They have been promoting all manner of disgusting tribalism. Even trying to institutionalize yoruba supremacy in Nigeria. But I laugh at their foolishness.

By the time the dust off the violence they instigated in Lagos settles, the state will be returned to the true indigenes and the primitive Invaders will have no choice than to return to their state of origin.

The drug baron is hoping to rule Nigeria then install his son to rule Lagos. Thereby becoming a modern day emperor over Nigeria. With him in Abuja and his son in Lagos, who else can challenge him again till death and afterwards?

the oil field they are paying delta state are in ondo state. ondo own the oil field they are paying derivation to delta state.

most of the oil field are not in delta state but they are in ondo state. but delta state is been paid for it.

Lol, perennial landgrabbers. So, you now want to take Delta people oil?

Since when did Ondo begin to produce oil? Was it not after boundary adjustment that ceded Delta lands to Ondo. So, that one is not enough for you? You want to grab more?

Anyways, I trust those Delta youths. Go collect the oil if them born you well.

Buhari is the worst thing that happened to Nigeria since 1970. No country deserve to have such a demented fool as president.

Posterity will definitely dump him in the gutter.

Iamgrey5:
But Oyo state is bigger than three South East state combined!

That's a fact.

Most of you are poorly educated. Let me enlighten you, empty landmass means nothing. Niger state is same size as the entire SW.

That's a fact.

Ibadan is just a massive slum settlement with decrepit houses. No settlement should be like that in 2023. A single 5 storey building in Onitsha is more valuable than 50 rusted roof shanties in ibadan

Blissful45:
That is how Tinubu would also be hanged. As for Buhari, posterity will judge him for all his evil deeds. He is an accomplice to TInubu's drug offence and must face the law along with Tinubu.

KwuoteYourFada:
All this Afghaneestan people eh

They keep spoiling our name abroad

But her name is KUDIRAT AFOLABI? A typical Yoruba, no??

Flangelo12:
Buhari should unilaterally cancel the result of the election despite 8 million Nigerians voting in support of the candidate.

Obinnas are totally lost.

Tribalism is the worst problem any country can battle with. You're willing to jeopardize Nigeria and Nigerians because of tribalism.

Did you read the post at all? Don't you think there is more than enough grounds to disqualify Tinubu?

MSGAMBLE9:
you say those selling Gala are a fraction? really, please what does majority do for a living? nwa boy-boy and petty trading in small cubicle shop?


We know beggars can't be choosers.. IBO people don't even own some of the biggest Abuja start-up or head multinational companies or neither have one permanent secretary in FCT ministries ( due to discrimination), where money to buy Abuja properties em mass wan come from? buying and selling?.


Believe Yoruba-fulani at peril cos like I said before it's only to give you people false sense of belonging while they continue to cut out your kinmens out of official reckonning and Multinational company roles...they are zoning Speaker seat of both chamber away from south-east already, the statement is meant to soften the blow.


Ask yourself why now? Your people are not SMART to play these games...I swear.


Yeye dey smell.

Lol, how old are you?

Igbos have been occupying Senate president and house speaker since. It's nothing new. Apart from oversight functions that enable them to embezzle money and bogus allowances, there is nothing much that comes from it.

What fraction of Nigerians work in the ministries? Mind you, Igbos are also more or less represented. Imo State in the top three of states with highest number of federal workers.

It's ignorance that is making you look down on "buying and selling". Before you guys wake up, Igbos would have gone very far!! In the city where I am, those shop owners you call petty, own blocks of multi storey buildings. They control capital running into hundreds of millions. Igbos are building vast number of duplexes all over Nigeria, even in their villages, while you guys are still living in decrepit houses.

Yorubas will see work that pays 150k and think they've made it in life while the average Igbo man in his shop makes that in a couple of days. You live pay check to pay check while they're accumulating and compounding capital through investments in real estate.

Go to any city near you and ask about Igbos there. Ignorance is not bliss.

Lol, yet the cursed and demonic children of hate and wickedness still support these criminals in APC. They even want a notorious and globally known drug baron to take over and perpetuate the crimes forever

May it never be well with those that supported these crimes!!!

MSGAMBLE9:
upper class? when Many of your kinmens dey Lagos traffic dey hawk Gala and Pure water and the rest are nwa boy-boy grabbing customers so they could eat for evening.... please who are those buying up Abuja and Lagos please name them.


Ibo people are Internally displaced tribe a.ka. economic refugees in viable regions of Nigeria.


Chest-beater feeling funky!

Lol, those selling gala according to you are probably earning more than you. They are only a small fraction. Or are you saying it's gala and pure water money they used in buying up Lagos

If you're in Lagos you won't be asking such question. Many of your brothers have been pushed deep into Ogun state after selling their lands to Igbos

Go to the ministry of lands in Abuja and check the names of those buying properties in Abuja. Even El Rufai cried over it when he was minister of FCT.

ariesbull:
so Fulani has settlement in Yoruba land, I was thinking they are okay with Ilorin...wetin I know seff


Why kidnap the poor man

Lol, they already have emir of Lagos and you're talking about settlement.

There is hardly any state in the SW without large fulani settlements. But there is no problem with that, we are all Nigerians.

Ukpaka:
Gunmen allegedly kidnap man from Fulani settlement
https://247ureports.com/2023/04/gunmen-allegedly-kidnap-man-from-fulani-settlement/
-
Osun Police Command on Wednesday said one Mohammed Jubril, 30, was allegedly kidnapped by gunmen from a Fulani settlement in Odo-Otin Local Government Area of the state.

SP Yemisi Opalola, Osun Police Spokesperson, made this known in a statement made available to newsmen in Osogbo.

According to Opalola, “At about 7.00 a.m. on Wednesday, one Seriki Fulani, Mohammed Kajibo, reported that gunmen, numbering about eight, attacked Ago Igbira, a Fulani settlement in Osun.

Na wa o. No be who first call police dey always win case o.

The fulanis are in their own now, these people are coming to kidnap them. Wahala dey sleep nyanga dey wake am up.

Who buy market go collect o.

No come here dey cry when dey retaliate o.

Yoruba run o.

Christistruth03:
Go and read the Arochukwu History

If it were not for Lord Lugard and his absolute Stubbornness they would have finished selling you all into Slavery long ago for their Snuff and their Shoes

Those Arochukwu sold as slaves were already condemned by the Igbo justice system. They committed crimes in the society but instead of being murdered like you guys always did, the Arochukwu sold them out.

Meanwhile, equal number of Yoruba slaves were sold by the aworis and fons. Hausas were also sold in large numbers by the Sahel tribes long before the Europeans arrived.

So, you're not making sense!

Ireportlive:
Sharp sharp Obi is on his own

What has Obi got to do with this? It seems Obi has truly made you guys to run mad. SMH.

alanto:
Confusion resides in SE Nigeria... Now they are exporting their misfortune on a daily basis.

Continue deceiving yourself, rigging an election in such brazen manner is enough for people to lose faith in Nigeria. You can't continue to impoverish millions of people and still expect them to remain docile.

Those that want to remain as primitive neanderthals should allow those that want to develop to go.

Nigeria is a crime state as it is, we either sanitize it or go our separate ways. Otherwise, we will remain in this sorry state forever.

Christistruth03:
I have now concluded that if it were not for Lord Lugard that made them into the Igbo Nation by force they were too divided and difficult to have done it for themselves

Any True leader that rises up amongst them they must pull down by force

Even till today many of them see Azikiwe their father as a Traitor and Ojukwu the Arch Rebel as a hero

Abobaku, go and read your history. It was Yorubas that almost finished themselves before the whites arrived. Igbos were living peacefully among themselves and their neighbors.

With all that is happening, it has become apparently clear that Nigeria will divide. It's only a matter of time.

USSR, Sudan, Malaysia, UK etc never had it this bad yet they all split. I doubt Nigeria will be any different.

FreeStuffsNG:
First and foremost, you are contradicting yourself by advocating that your people bring home the money made in other parts of Nigeria then saying now that the money is made in Igboland.
If money is truly made there you will not find Igbo fleeing daily in droves to other parts of Nigeria for greener pastures.

Also, Seplat is a publicly quoted company with headquarters in Ikoyi, Lagos state. When profits from this project come in, it will be paid in part to Imo, Lagos and FG while the rest is shared as dividends to all Nigerians. There are still some key lessons you miss on how real wealth is domiciled

Fallacies of hasty generalization. The fact that lots of Igbos are all over the place is not necessarily because the SE is not economically viable but due to high literacy levels & indomitable spirit.

Igbos are not coming to Lagos, Abuja or the rest of Nigeria to take up jobs no one is willing to do, rather they're always mostly found among the middle to upper class in any place they domicile. That's same way you don't see Chinese, Lebanese or Indians coming to Nigeria to do low level work. They come to Nigeria, fix themselves at the top or mid level and make good money. Does it now mean their own countries are not viable?

If Igbos aren't doing well, they won't be buying up most places in Abuja, Lagos, P.H etc.

kettykin:
The eastern economy is 99% eastern driven , the money made in the east will drive other industries in the east like housing, food etc my issues is that unlike before agriculture , cement manufacturing, petroleum refinery and even power generation is no longer gettthe right traction.

If this gas is something we have so much in abundance then automobiles ought to be gas driven , with has powered industrial estates around the gas sites

The good things counting for SE are:

1. Capital retention: Other regions of Nigeria experience high level of capital flight unlike SE where most companies are home-grown.

2. Rapid urbanization: the cities and towns in SE are growing rapidly due to rural-urban migration as well as relatively high population of educated people.

3. Commercial activities: due to large markets in the SE, the people are able to draw in cash from both within and outside Nigeria. Being able to accumulate cash makes it easier for them to engage in big projects.

If only government can provide adequate infrastructure and security, the region will return to its 1960's level when it was among the world's fastest growing economies.

The future is bright for Imo State, the gas capital of Nigeria!

They should hand him over to the authorities. No unnecessary killings abeg.

I heard he was stoned to death in another news, even saw the dead body.

All these conflicting reports...
