That's how they exaggerate figures to arrive at useless propaganda. They cant leave things as they are. Never.

Where will the members of the other churches now worship? These ones aren't concerned obviously.

Double wahala.

Politician are severely heartless.

Obidients are group of illiterate bitter people

APC used to be when they didn't have power at the centre. It is part of our style of politics.

Even though I don't, I can understand their twisted mindset. The current ruling party, in their capacity as opposition and trouble investigators did same in principle. It is part of Nigerian politics and no different from what others did and are doing.
At least they haven't gone to the extent of sponsoring banditry like the north is doing.

🚨BREAKING -
Russian President Putin will embark upon a state visit of North Korea starting from tomorrow.

The visit is expected to last 2 days.

to go and shop for more weapons to finish off ukraine.

Blues...

Under Buhari too it was loud. Maybe he is still giving the new man some space to perform before appraising him with admonitions.
Besides buhari created a mega mess, though no justification for Tinubu's perormance.

It is so sad that these guys don't even have a conscience , 62k wouldn't even get you a bag of rice ...

Wanted to buy pepper yesterday to fry eggs and I was given only 20 pepper strand for 1k ...

Omo

The problem is how many of those workers can cover a bag of rice with their monthly effort. The battalion of LGA workers going to pickup their pay for doing nothing cant justify even a small bowl of rice talk less about a whole bag. The sensible thing to do is to separate the idlers from the workers before rewarding the workforce with any increase in pay. As it is now, ther are many workers in LGA and states who don't work but will get a raise if 62k goes through. That means the govt is just rewarding such people with oil money and printed money. Don't expect the SME sector to maintain prices if cash is pumped into the system through idlers again.

Stallione:
Ajero is useless, why is he still keeping quiet, i tot he said the strike is relaxed for 5days, so whats still holding the strike to continue since FG is bent on 62k. Joe Ajero and his excos have compromised.

Ajaero is not useless sir. He knows govt employment is not a must for all those workers. In my estimate, 65% can be sacked today and you and I wont be able to tell because they are not contributing but just earning.

Stallione:
How much is a bag of rice

the logic of salary is not centerwd around meeting a workers need. It is about compensating the workforce for the overall effort, which in my humble opinion, is very low.
That bag of rice is more than the output of many govt workers from January to december every year of their lives.

Kukutente23:
A few months back, your likes was telling us to face governors to tell us what they are doing with increased allocation. It is same mouth you're using to defend governors that they can't pay minimum wage. It is well. Where una push the country reach because of politics all of us go meet am

You are not making any sense dude. Yes I asked what they are doing with increased allocation. Is that bad? It is accountability and we deserve to know what percentage goes to each major sector. Civil workforce salary, infrastructures, executive etc.
But from the way you are sounding, it is like you know for sure that they can afford the N62k being proposed to them.
I wouldn't want to assume if I were in your shoes but confirm by demanding accountability to know what is available for rechannelling into N62k minimum wage implementation. Before you rant further, remember the 62k wage is multiplied by workforce of each state to arrive at a rough estimate of what can be afforded.

Toh

Sebi everyone wan dey live for city and leave their village abi. Oya now

Villages are now IDP camps run by Fulani jihadists. City outskirts is the new village because those you took blood oaths to support online have refused to develop the villages.
What happened to Kolmani, where buhari staged a oil and gas discovery coup? They cant develop it even with oil and gas. That's why kolmani young men are going to Bauchi city and Kano city outskirts to rent cubicles and breed.

It is called continuing from Buhari stopped.

For wailers who will term it teaching Obi a lesson, food has been going up in prices before Obi decided to teach Atiku a political lesson that Igbo block vote is not for PDP.

The money you cant pay health workers nor use to train more health worker in education sector, you dash pilgrims. Is that a form of sacrifice ?

Imagine someone cant repay agriculture loans even at a time food is selling so high. Take them to court please.

helinues:
There is no need now.

Let everyone be relocating to the city. I heard stones are now edible

APC and BMC should pay you in stones then. Idiotically inclined poster.

Maybe IDP camp corn pap and Garri are better than menial jobs around the city outskirts.

Remman:
Na ChatGPT create the speech for him, his not that smart.

ChatGPT will never recommend lower populayion growth or population reduction as hunger reduction strategy. She will rather demand all hands be productive so all mouth can fed.
Dull in and out of power, that's how they roll.

That population part is heavier but in addition be productive. Even if you reduce population by 75% and don't produce proportionately with hands around, poverty still stares you sternly at the face.

China and India are 1.4 billion in population each but are better managing hunger and poverty because they are productive.

After leaving power they still don't understand basic economics yet cries and threatened blood & baboon to get power.

How many states can afford even that 62k ?

Nlfpmod, let your people know the consequences of war. Both sides are actively using starvation as a war tool and it is the innocent masses that are baring the greediness of the elites and the islamists.

Bio-ethanol plants in Benue have been taking in truck loads of cassava lately and that's a strong factor for garri being ahead of other staple food in the inflation curve.

Crypto farm or crop farm?
This man is funny.

Starvation Now Employed By Both Sides at Detriment of Sudanese

Mohanad el-Balal is one of many Sudanese civilians doing everything they can to ward off a devastating famine – and there is one man whose photograph he will never forget.
Sadiq, a middle-aged father, grips the arms of his wheelchair tightly to keep himself upright, his painfully thin legs poking out in front of him.
Sadig "is in a wheelchair, but he’s not disabled" Mr Balal says: "He's just so malnourished that he has lost the ability to walk."
Mr Balal, based in the UK, is one of the co-founders of Khartoum Aid Kitchen, which provides food keeping tens of thousands of people alive in the Sudanese capital.
When volunteers found Sadiq, he "hadn't had a proper meal for over a month", Mr Balal said, because any food he could get, he was giving to his children.
Sadly, there are many people like Sadig in Sudan right now.
The country is being destroyed by a war between the Sudanese army and a paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which broke out in April last year.
More than nine million people have fled their homes, and everyone in the country has been affected in some way.
Things are about to get worse.
"I expect that by September, we’re looking at about 70% of the population being extremely hungry," said Timmo Gaasbeek, a food security expert who has worked in Sudan.
"That could lead to two-and-a-half million deaths, or more. It could be as many as four million. There is just not enough food."
He said the way that food kitchens have been distributing food is a big help but it is not enough.
"The war has paralysed the economy of the country, so people have no money," said Amgad al-Farid, a veteran human rights activist who runs the Fikra for Studies and Development think-tank.
"Also, the RSF has taken Gezira state, which has the biggest agricultural scheme in Sudan, and produced a lot of our daily needs.
"And due to the huge inflation, food imports have declined," Dr Farid explained.
In short, there is not enough food, and what food there is has become punishingly expensive.

Homes and shops have been looted and parts of the capital have been devastated by the conflict


Throughout the war, the BBC's Newsday programme has been getting regular updates from Ahmed, a resident of Omdurman, one of the three cities that make up the capital.
In one part of Omdurman, controlled by the RSF, prices have increased by 400% in recent times, said Ahmed, who we are only calling by his first name.
"My wife got back from that area, and she told me most of the people eat only once a day, and sometimes not even that.
"It wasn’t like this a few months ago when looted food from factories was sold cheaply.
"Now, in RSF-controlled areas, food has become so expensive and rare.
"Hundreds of people queue up near to where I am to get lentils for breakfast. Some of them add water to the lentils so they can eat it at night-time too," Ahmed said.
He has had to explain to his young children why they cannot have the biscuits they used to love, and how even though things are tough for his family, it is so much worse for many others.
Ahmed said humanitarian aid rarely gets through, and people are only surviving because of the food kitchens. But some of those are running out of money, and even food to buy.
Mr Balal from Khartoum Aid Kitchen knows of people who have starved to death.
People are struggling, and dying, not only in Khartoum, but also in Darfur, in Kordofan, in Gezira and elsewhere.
Ayman Musa from the NGO the South Kordofan and Blue Nile Coordination Unit spoke of people in the Nuba mountains in the south having to boil leaves to survive.
Aid workers, like Justin Brady, head of the UN's humanitarian body (Ocha) in Sudan, despair at the lack of international attention on the war in Sudan, and make the point that the international community simply has not provided the funds needed to help the people who need it.
More than $2bn (£1.6bn) was promised at a pledging conference in Paris in April, but Mr Brady said "that is proving a little bit illusory".
"We’re noting that only under a billion of that is for humanitarian action in Sudan, and some of those funds had already been dispersed, and some of those pledges have yet to materialise."

Hundreds of thousands have fled to neighbouring Chad - just some of the millions who have been forced from their homes

Many Sudanese believe the world is turning its back on the country’s suffering.
That is not all.
"Both sides use starvation as a weapon of war," said Alex de Waal from the World Peace Foundation. He has been studying famines and conflict in Sudan since the early 1980s.
The RSF, Mr De Waal said, is "essentially a looting machine.
"They rampage through the countryside and towns, stealing everything there is, and that’s how they sustain themselves."
While the Sudanese Armed Forces "are trying to starve the areas under control of the RSF" to up the pressure on their rival.
The two sides, Mr De Waal added, "show no signs of any willingness to relinquish what is a cheap and very effective weapon".
Both sides deny the accusation.
But throughout the country, people are hungry, worrying about where their next meal is going to come from – and in some cases, dying of hunger.
What many agree on is that without an end to the fighting, and a colossal effort to reach desperate people, things will soon get much, much worse.

You lost the game. That agency was been bypassed because the vultures in the North are ready to use this man and the agency to stop or frustrate or turn the project into into a looting gambling box that was why that action was taken.

The North are totally against that project because its all about the South but same North were shouting "rankadede, Buhari we Hail Thee" when he constructed train track from their region to the heart of Niger Republic so the BPP should be reshuffle ASAP. What is good for the Norh also good for the South.

Thanks...

divide n conquer.

That's a subtle lie in a sense. N40k then was buying subsidized stuffs. Things that cost N170k was being subsidized and that's why you could buy it N40k. Today, it is different as subsidies have been removed.

The bigger issue is, why must we bargain for virtually everything in Nigeria?
We prefer the method that reduces competition and gives unmeritted profit. That's greed.

I recommend combination of both because of hunger and low productivity of subsistence farmers. The GMO always yield more and that can reduce hunger. Organic should be the main option but we know we lack food and so GMO can cover that space organic cant.

If bandits can operate comfortably enough, why shouldnt police too aspire to levy people for security AKA No Harrasments.
