If you're not a northerner and the northerners like you politically, check yourself.

Yinmu..

Enugurangers:
Too bad. And campaign has not even started proper. Those Peter Obi'religeous war tapes against muslim would be played before or after their call to prayers in the North. I hear posters of Peter Obi holding Hero beer are being printed as well.

Oh well. It is what it is.

Lol

They’ll soon start remembering saudauna, just wait for it..

Anybody that understand Nigeria would know that Obi can never become a president of this country..

The moment he was caught with that war tapes, it was the end of the road for him..

The Agulu fraud is not worth liking. He’s a ridiculous homo. A bad omen and a certified failure. A religious war bigott..

Too much familiarity

We know this already..

Even the Oyo kids, many videos and pictures being circulated are fakes. We know cuz we know..

In due time, we’ll reveal..

This guy, are you serious at all? Did you read my analysis why they could not and why it seems they can now? If you disagree why not come up with facts and figures to debunk my claims. Stop ranting like a robot or zoneB

I did read it all. The proposition in which you’re bringing your argument from is invalid, nothing logical. You have no basic knowledge of the kind argument that you introduced..

Infact, the dollar you're using to measure now is not even doing well at all right now. USA is now considering to float the dollar again and again… Note,USA has floated the dollar more than many countries have done to their currency..

Your argument is lame bro. Go and watch different interviews on your tube regarding Tinubu’s policies, and then you’ll stop disgracing your heritage on this great forum..

Gracias !

I’m beginning to think some of you didn’t even watch the video, perhaps because your ₦30,000 monthly stipend couldn’t cover the data costs. Otherwise, I struggle to understand how anyone could watch it and still fail to see why I reiterated the points I had made earlier. My reference to my previous post was simply for confirmation and consistency.

Your APC representative came with the same tired talking point: that states should be delivering more projects because federal allocations have increased. Yet the moment Prince presented his analysis and broke down the figures, your representative suddenly went silent. He couldn’t respond because the facts completely dismantled the narrative he came to defend.

Sometimes I genuinely wonder how some of you reason. It’s baffling to see people who pride themselves on being educated and analytical approach issues with less critical thinking than one would expect from a child.

Perhaps if you watched the video with an open mind, you would understand the points being made. Take the time to watch it properly and digest the facts. Hopefully, you have the intellectual capacity to comprehend what Prince was explaining.

On the issue why it seems that states governors are now able to pay salaries. Let’s look at the figures and data.

Minimum Wage Comparison

2015:
Minimum wage = ₦18,000
Exchange rate = ₦180/$1
Equivalent = about $100 per month

2025/2026:
Minimum wage = ₦70,000
Exchange rate = ₦1,500/$1
Equivalent = about $47 per month

In dollar terms, a minimum-wage worker earns about 53% less today than in 2015.

Lagos State Example

2015:
Personnel cost and pensions = ₦101 billion
Exchange rate = ₦198/$1
Equivalent = about $510 million

2025:
Personnel expenditure = ₦401.1 billion
Exchange rate = ₦1,500/$1
Equivalent = about $267 million


Let me explain it in the simplest way possible.

Imagine a state government received ₦5 billion every month in 2015. At an exchange rate of about ₦180 to $1, that was worth roughly $28 million.

Out of that amount, it spent ₦2 billion on salaries, which was worth about $11 million.

Fast forward to 2026.

The same state now receives ₦15 billion monthly. On paper, that looks like a 200% increase. However, at an exchange rate of about ₦1,500 to $1, that ₦15 billion is worth only about $10 million. Which is more than 50% of what they were receiving 10yrs earlier.

The state now spends ₦5 billion on salaries. While that looks much higher in naira terms, it is worth only about $3.3 million.

So although the numbers look bigger, the actual value of the money is much smaller.

This is why many people say today’s increases are partly an illusion. The figures are larger in naira, but the purchasing power behind those figures is significantly lower.

That helps explain why governments may find it easier to pay salaries without arrears, while many workers still feel financially worse off than they did a decade ago.

The numbers look bigger. The value is smaller. I still doubt if you would be able to comprehend.

In the 2015 context you mentioned, how many governors were able to pay salaries then? Infact, most states never paid the 18k minimum wage as at then. Civil servants were been owe 5/6months salaries..

Such thing doesn’t exist today and never anymore… Nigerians are never gonna go back to those days of scams !

Let put this to front page. These people been peddling dumb lies and we gotta burst them out..

Sccarrr:

BizLeader:
Go to a business school. Simple.

All of you should stop using people's opinions to try and navigate business.

You studied mathematics, English and geography and did not listen to opinions on social media about any of them. Study business with the same approach and vigour.

Again, go to a business school.

No be some peoples opinion Dem go still teach you for business school?

Is there any school teachings from school that are not 1 or 2 people opinions?

Sccarrr:
take tissues 🧻🧻🧻

You guys started fighting yesterday while celebrating una Epl. Which kind violent celebration be that?

Una no fit even celebrate in peace haha

And what is the thing that they told you to do that you can’t do?

E no go pass BDSM… The one wey dem go punish you, treat you like dogs to fckk you. It’s called *Slaves & Masters*

She no sabi game so they gotta throw her out. They’re not wrong cuz you can only be involved or not be involved..

You’ve created this same topic many times but it’s not working. As it’s not working, you keep opening and opening on again, and believe me, it won’t still work..

You people always act as if it’s not the same Nigerians that are existing today, existed during previous governments. Una too mumuu oo..

If FAAC allocations increase is a mirage, how come it’s easier for state governors to pay salaries now, compare to during past governments? Look at the projects that some governors are doing, without relying on borrowing… How do you think such became possible?

Even the Agulu fraud when he was a governor, doctors had to go on strike for more than a year and dollar was how much then? If there was more money in the circulation then, you think the fraud wouldn’t pay up Doctors?

Ever since the beginning of this government, have you ever heard of anything like strike this, strike that? … How do you think such was possible?

This is not adding up at all..

No doctor will leave duty to go to church, not even on Christmas or Easter Day..

Make he talk the real truth..

NaughtyBrainiac:
Is the boy in that meme not Nigerian? Does it mean the meme has travelled that far for Richalison to have used it? Wow

Rooney 🗣️ “I’ll be completely honest, Arsenal were absolutely robbed tonight, there is no other way to put it. You look at that foul on Noni Madueke in the box; it’s a stonewall, 100% clear penalty. How the referee or VAR hasn't given that is beyond me, and it completely changes the dynamic of a Champions League final.

But for me, the moment that truly gave it away the moment you knew exactly what the referee was doing was that halftime whistle. To blow the whistle right as Arsenal are literally standing there about to take a corner? I’ve played this game a long time, and you rarely see that unless there’s a blatant bias. It was shocking, and it set the tone for everything that followed.

In the second half, it became a totally different game, and not because of the football. The referee made absolutely sure that every single 50/50 call, every little nudge, and every major decision went straight to PSG. It completely killed Arsenal’s momentum. But to be fair, I’m not even surprised. We saw the exact same story when they played Bayern Munich earlier in the tournament. The officiating was heavily skewed then, and it’s happened again on the biggest stage.

PSG might be lifting the trophy, but they cannot honestly look at themselves in the mirror and be proud of the way they’ve won this final. To win the biggest prize in club football like that? It leaves a horrible taste. Arsenal deserved so much more tonight.”

What about that Saka handball?
