Start transaction in dollar, end the transaction in prison. It's that simple.

North has the highest number of Nigerian billionaires who are oil magnates,
They own the larger parts of our oil wells,
They enjoy quota system, thereby making them the most favourite for federal employments
The majority of federal government projects go to them.
In agriculture, they have majority of the federal government irrigation programme.
They benefited the social intervention fund more than any other region of the country.
What investment is Peter Obi talking about again?
If other tribes enjoy half of the attention given to the north, we would have moved forward than this.
My take : let every region go its separate way.
Enough of parasitism.

At least something is being done to mitigate the effect of the harsh weather. For more effectiveness, the government should make provision for a chopper to air-spray chilled water. It will fall like rain.

Waa gbayi!!

Why do I keep having this feeling that things are about to change for good in Nigeria?

maternal:
I've been saying it, now you have said it. It's jealousy. The fact is an ordinary blue collar worker makes more money, and enjoys a better quality of life than, these "big boys" in naija, who are nothing abroad honestly............

My brother, there's nothing any of them can say that will hold water, the fact is obvious, blue-collar jobs in developed countries are miles apart from white collar jobs here. I have some1driving company truck in the US who has a modern bakery in Ondo town. Every thing in that place is automated. The factory is solely using transformer that a whole street will be struggling to have in five good years. This same man has 5-star hotel, car stand and several other businesses here, a driver. To hell with bank manager here.

Eleporobi:
Atiku is making some valid points

But he didn't make same when one idiot was constructing rail line from Nigeria to Niger, all for the passion he had for his 2nd country home. That's that. Alaye come, no go dey do like oloriburuku o, This Chagoury of a guy na scammer, he no dey complete project. We no wan hear story o.

The one wey weak me pass for this news na d Toto local government. I wonder wetin go dey happen now now for that lga, now that rain just fall and the weather cool.

chubinwa:
I hope the village guys are not affected by the village name. name so weird.

On the contrary, the old man deserves any penalty given to him. hope I made sense

Which kind penalty this old man wan catch? Him sabi keep?

Trying BOB may be RISKY

The Buhari administration made a grave mistake by banning food importation for local production. Even developed nations do import foodstuff heavily. If stopping food import is the solution to boosting local production, how come we are worse than before in terms of food production?

vacanci:
Not everyone loves rice as an ultimate food as you may think.

Surprisingly, if i earned N1M monthly, I will still choose Eba over rice. I prefer to eat swallow 5 times to eating rice 1 time

Sir u go get pot belly as I dey reason u so.

Trying BOB is RISKY

Oga shift one side

So we are brought to earth in order to spend 70 to 100 years preparing for heaven right ??

If you don’t make it on earth , it’s even more likely you won’t make heaven .

You are beginning to disgust me . Trying hard to normalize being broke and positioning making heaven as the ultimate.

I have not made money and no amount of your preaching can make me justify being broke .

You claim your father is the king, he owns heaven and earth and everything in it , yet you are comfortable being broke and gets your satisfaction from singing his praise

Tuer !!!!!

Make I help u translate the bolded well well. If poverty no gree make u make earth, how u wan take make heaven? The earth wey u dey, u no gree make am, how u wan take make heaven?

GigdraftAdvert:
Congratulations, Davido. 💃💃💃

Probably his father's toy. I doubt if Davido can afford to buy a 75 million dollar toy.

Enddy50ty:
This is the way to go as a public office holder, in order to build public confidence, trust, transparency and accountability in your leadership.

It reminds me of late president Umaru Musa Yar’adua. The first Nigerian President to publicly declare his assets.

Dont know why people are so obsessed with asset declaration. Does it stop politicians from siphoning with big hose? No, so what's the fuse?

Treadway:
na so o. We know. Really sucks to be you🤣
Even the pets there are all better than you. They get endless treats/food, have access to clean air, emergency services and are routinely checked by world-class vets.💯

Weird takes...Na so you dey lecture me on my own dollar stash the other time. Oh well!

Mr dollar hoarder, how's ur business going?

VAPatrick:
Someone who hasn't travelled outside Nigeria will never understand. There is no basis for comparison between Nigeria and a developed country. In terms of everything, I mean everything, countries like Australia, UK and Canada are way ahead of Nigeria. Having said that, the decision to relinquish one's job as a manager in Nigeria for a low level job (e.g. forklift operator) in Australia is personal, which we should all respect. Besides, no one migrates with the primary objective of taking up a cleaning or fork lift operator job. For most people already at the middle or top level of their careers, they take up these jobs to survive, pending when they land their ideal jobs.

For me, if I am to choose between being a bank manager in Nigeria and forklift operator in Australia, I'll go with the latter. As a forklift operator in Australia, I will live a good life and provide a better future for my children. Even if I decide to return to Nigeria after 25 to 30 years, I'll live very comfortably, far better than I would have, had I been a bank manager.

To reiterate, no basis for comparison, and respect people's decisions. Shalom!

Nairaland has always been a faceless forum. All these people criticizing other people's decisions, deep within them, they know what they're passing through, they only come here to pretend as if all is well, all is not well with them, because the economic & security situations here is so volatile and unstable. U can not predict what tomorrow may bring.
* If Nigerians living in Australia cannot afford flight ticket to fly to naija, then I wonder where my cousin is getting the money to fly to Naija often for the Holy Ghost night at the RCCG camp. She's the church type.
* Some of them were furious about the fact that a cleaner or factory worker in Australia is by far living a better life than a bank manager in Naija, isn't it the naked truth? How come bank managers took advantage of the Emefiele's policies that time to defraud the system and pack their families abroad to start new life? We were all here when it happened. If they were comfortable with life, they won't take such actions. Former CMD at OAUTH relocated abroad with his family without second thought.
* One was talking of retirement at 60 or so in Nigeria, what is even the average life expectancy of Nigerians? 54years, how many Nigerians manage to get to 60 or 65 years before their health begins to fail them?

UK has always been a no no for me, not even now that an indian is the prime minister. I hate indians for who they are.

Usefulsense:
Australia really humbled me. Imagine a financial controller in Nigeria now picking and packing cartons in warehouses in Australia.

No wonder many Nigerians roam the streets doing nothing. Too proud to do any job

I said this a few days ago, how can they be keeping 10 aircrafts? I would applaud him if he could encourage total downsizing. BAT himself has between 2 to 4 aircrafts before assuming power, what stops him from making use of his private aircrafts for state affairs? The government should only maintain them, while all the money-consuming aircrafts in the presidential fleet are sold off to cut costs.

Surface2AirToto:
It will still catch fire but this time, there will be nothing to renovate.

Why are you so engrossed with bitterness towards another man that u couldn't even hold it to yourself? This kind of spirit won't take u anywhere. U better change ur ways.

Another news to confirm that Nigeria will work again. Gradually, we are getting there. Life needs to be given a value by setting standards Oyo state needs to follow suit. Many of the buses being used for commercial stuff cannot be used to transport goats from one location to another in South Africa, because they have standards.

This news com dey sweet me like say I get wetin I wan collect from it. If Nigeria finally begins to work in the right direction, many of these multinational companies go chop koboko Belle full. I see things working again in Nigeria. Irrespective of who is involved, human rights will come to stay and every Nigerian will be proud to be a citizen of Nigeria. By that time, America will not be scared to declare Nigeria as the giant of the black race.

Some idiots don collected bribe ,look away yill the man waka from the mosque

What business does a criminal like this man have in the mosque? With all these financial crimes against humanity, u still get mind to pray to God, for what? Mercy or more hardened mind to do more? We use kid gloves to handle some deadly cases, all in the name of religion. This man has committed a treasonable offence, and has no right whatsoever under the law.

Treadway:
5-10 years too long...more like in 3-6months, except both refineries truly come on stream within the next 6 months

I'm particularly waiting to see it touch below 1k so I can load up as much as I can for the next 'bull run', cos I'm not optimistic about those refineries one bit, not with all the falsehood. Dec 2023 they said, na March 2024 ending we dey so, we no see even refined palm oil comot from any of the two that were hyped as ready to go.

U"ll be shocked and disappointed when u see naira failing to obey the rule of the game (bull run). The moment it crosses the 1k bench mark, then the downtrend will continue, this time with a heavy downward spike. There may be little retracement, continuation of downtrend is inevitable. It's no longer business as usual. Therefore u buy, u cry.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Shame, south Africa is generating 50,000 megawatt.

But we have to start somewhere. SA did not just establish 50k MW in a day, it started gradually and built up. Better late than never.

New breed of politicians are gradually crawling their way into power. It's not by putting all the degrees in this world in your portfolio, it's by applying common sense into governance.

The more reason we call for separation. Let each tribe go its way. We can't continue to act as if all is fine when north is dragging us backward, all in the name of religion. Such humongous amount on Ramadan feeding, who does that? Had it been each region is on its own, trying to manage the resources it has to develop itself, will these bastards be blowing state fund on frivolity?

This chinkos won't stop to make person laugh. Because say dem wan collect contract from Niger state, dem dey wear aboki cap for head. Nawa oooo!

Out of all the issues facing us at the moment, why did he chose to pull momentum in this direction? Just asking

The guy might be testing him for all I know. Don't be surprised if the guy has something big in stock for him. What if he has a big project he wants to start here, and he's looking for some1 responsible and reliable to handle the project. He might be doing that for a start to reconnect with him.
