Pastorship no dey hard to get

Lobatan.

Judolisco:
Very boring edition... Let's go back to our normal way of playing abeg

What makes it boring?

EmperorCaesar:


Dem say if person mates don dey die small small, make the person sef dey dey ready to die


Bello Turji, your end is now

Tinubu is about to squash this shii that GEJ struggled to control


We almost there...Ride with us

When Bello Turji start terrorizing the north?

Fujiyama:
The man made a few good points...but only a few.

His comparison of Nigeria's morbidly corpulent public sector employees to USA public sector workers was a disaster. It isn't just the number of employees - its the drain they place on the public purse.

Instead of laying the blame squarely on Nigeria's political/business elite - and their sustained attacks on our weak institutions, Oyedele keeps justifying subsidy removal - as if it is a silver bullet.

The man and his principal BAT just caved in to powerful, vested interests that have severely watered down BAT's so called 'tax reform' and left it for dead. Where is the courage to take on those interests?

Window dressed realities indeed.

And now that subsidy has been removed, what happens next? How much have been saved?what did they use then , and

aswani:
This is a really sad reality of Obidient misbehaviour, we need a strong third party in this country.

Look at what Sanwoolu did in Lagos stare for example after the Presidential elections, he ordered impounded vehicles to be released because of an impending LP threat (okay the slowpoke Chinedu Gbadebo screwed things up fit himself but that's not the point).

A shame really, a real shame. The abnormally high Ndigbo voting percentage in the SE for Peter Obi also didn't help. All of these things would be used in the next elections by Northerners and Yoruba people. Too bad.

Sanwooluwa not only released impounded vehicle but also started visiting media stations he refused to grant interviews earlier to campaign for votes 😕

Richtaiwo:
If e pain you, look for the nearest river and do the needful. In the brain of a typical ipob, any governor supporting Tinubu was rigged into office.

Infact, anyone not supporting the agulu packaged fraud is hungry and deserves high doses of insult. Ipob are the noisiest about hunger, but quick to call anyone supporting Tinubu a hungry urchin. I no just understand.

Anyway, Peter Obi will never be president of Nigeria my country.

What's Agulu packaged fraud? 🤥
Did Obi steal from you?

Ibrahimado:
Wike camp will win the major case that will nail SIM camp why SIM will win the minor case that will not stand long
E.g wike camp will win that there was no defection from those assembly members automatically they have nailed SIM camp why SIM camp will win the RSIEC case.
Take this to the bank.
SIM is gone.

I hope you will not eat your words come february 10th..Save the date.

yesloaded:
You are just trying to be smart but I won't exchange words with you

He's saying the obvious because at the end of 2025, come back to this thread and defend it.

You cannot say anything without true reflection defending your.

yesloaded:
Import duty not reduced

Exchange rate still high

Telecommunication tariff hike just got approval

Increase in pump price

Well, impossibility is nothing but chances of deflation is very low

And also, increase in electricity tariff.. Without all listed above, expect nothing as usual.. Government of lies, propaganda and deceit.

imam07:
mumu like u plenty for nairaland. When police kill innocent people why not close down d Nigeria police or when dangote truck kill people why not close down dangote company. To close down d school does dat stop this same incident not to happen in other schools?

And even all the school that was closed down previously, what happened to them next? After two weeks, same government will reopen the school.

mcgaius:
I had some goose bumps watching the mother cry at the hospital at sangotedo sw hospital.

Do you stay around that vicinity?

bentenny:
Did the retaining of subsidy impede the three national refineries from working years ago despite humongous funds allocated for consistent turn around maintenance for more than 2 decades?
Whether subsidy was removed now or years ago will not change the corruption in NNPCL!
Guy talk something else....this line of logic is stale!

Let an external auditor check NNPCL, hell will let loose.

nairalanda1:
I don't support our government buying yachts, cars, etc...and I regard your assertion or implying that I do as a libellous statement.

Don't you ever repeat such again.

Anyway, even if we used the cash from all that to pay for those things...it won't pay for subsides for at best 2 months.

Again, government has no business wasting money on frivolous things.





Yes, all true, but at the end, ending wasteage still leaves us with the same figures i quoted above.

And that's the problem.

Remember the wasteages are comming from a budget of N49 trillion naira. Stopping the wasteages, and subsidising fuel at N65 a liter leaves us with a 36 trillion naira budget for subsides, and very little money for salaries, wages, contracts, projects, obligations, etc etc.

Option b is to do as they do in saner climes and have everyone of age pay heavy tax...rich and poor....to fund subsides for a select few poor people.

The problem is not subsidy but wastage of public funds and corruption... Even developed countries like UK and US subsided food, fuel, education, medical Supplies e.tc for their citizens...Stop mentioning subsidy as the only problem we're facing..

An ex governor was charged for stealing billions but the court gave him bailed for 500 million.. Subsidy is not the problem here.

nedu666:
So at 80 dollars fuel is 1150. It means at 100 dollars fuel will be 1450 or 1500. At 120 dollars, fuel will be 1700. At 150 dollars fuel will be 2000 naira. We are getting there. Nigerians must suffa

Should the dollar be a benchmark on how to control our resources? We have the crude, refineries and resources yet countries without these things are doing well than this shit hole called Nigeria. Let change our currency to naira.

nairalanda1:
Okay, let's crunch some numbers.

Let's assume that tinubu said on Jan 1 this year that fuel would cost N65 per liter.

That means that subsidy cost would come to about 100 billion naira daily. Or 36 TRILLION Naira annually.

As you know, our budget for this year was N49 trillion, meaning that once we take 36 trillion out, we would have 13 trillion left.

Salaries won't be paid, projects won't be executed, and services won't be done. You may not be able to get passports, documents, etc...because no money.

And the debt would rise as we try to borrow more. Our debt is N135 trillion as at the end of last year, and rising. Maybe it would shoot to N200 trillion.

Meaning, no money for even importing anything...ashewo included.

Result...Sri Lanka ten times over.


Who do you this kind thing?

Oga, you're only interested in speaking about how the masses should bear the grunts...All the salaries, allowances, cars, jet, yatch, house renovations allocated to themselves, where's the money coming from?

How much have they saved from the removal subsidy? No body knows but yet they can appoint hundreds of aids doing nothing..

Our problem is wastage of our resources and inability to be transparent in our dealings. Let everyone be on minimum wage and see if things will not change.

You can't be living large yet asked Nigerian to tighten their belt.

NaijaCowFarm:
What are Agbado illiterates celebrating here?

70% of Oyedele's recommendations have been whittled down or thrown away.
- Derivation is now only 20% instead of 80%
- Corporation Tax - UNCHANGED
- VAT increase - STALLED
- 80% (50% -equity + 30% -population) of VAT still goes to POPULATION and EQUITY (North is the winner, while Lagos and Rivers lose)
- All Institutions like TETFUND, NASEN, NITDA, etc - UNCHANGED

What exactly did TINUBU achieve with the Tax Reform Bills?
Congratulations to Zulum, Ndume and Bala = These WINNERS

Tinubu had no choice than to succumb to the northern governor's and senators unless he wants to do a term president. Once they says no, he can't do anything.

Federal Republic of Rice and Palliatives. Why will rice not be expensive because they bought all in the market to share.

What a country indeed!

dettolgel:
Fashola told us that it requires only 6 months to fix the power problem in Nigeria.

Are you saying that Fashola lied or that this Tinubu government is incompetent?

That's just simply propaganda okay

yommen:
I see many senseless comments here. Many expect Tinubu to fix power by now already but couldn't question Dangote refinery that took more than 10 years to build. Is it usually as fast as that ni?

I still maintain it. How Obasanjo spent $16b between 1999 and 2007 on power and situations remain like this baffle me. Its someone who has spend less than 2 years they are calling for his head. Is that no it senseless?

This is because nobody can investigate or jail an ex president...All the corruption that happened under the previous administration, how many people has been investigated aside Emefiele? Other has been let off the hook..Why has Tinubu not audit the NNPCL account?

We need to tell ourselves the truth in this country because propaganda will not take us anywhere.

VikingKing:
The “Agulu fraud” wan kpai APC hallelujah boys. They thought he’d fade into obscurity after the elections but Baba no wan leave their jugular 😂😂😂

Agulu fraud, you do this one o 😂😂😂😂

What is Agulu fraud? Did he stole from you?

t2luv1:
Maybe you need to open your eyes and start using the white meat in your head if you have one.

Nigeria External Debt Naira to Dollar Rate President
$3,5B 197 - 365 Jonathan
$7.5B 405 - 875 Buhari
$13B 905 - 1650 Tinubu

Your Messiah has made the country poor. Right now, 90% of the country's revenue is used for two things: servicing the debt and paying for governance.

Nigeria has to increase its bond interest rate to make it attractive to foreign investors. I know all this because I just forked over $60k from my Fixed account at TD Ameritrade to buy some of Nigeria's high-yield bonds. You can pray and wish for all you want I am just giving you straight facts

They will still defend this government like nothing else.

Zico5:
El Rufai is truly a corrupt man. No wonder he was pained when he was rejected as minister. There is no difference between El Rufai and Wike. They are both desperate and dangerous. But rule of law is already dead in this country. So nothing will come out of the case.

Funny enough, all these people will be let off the hook by EFCC..Some people are untouchable in this shit hole and zoo of a country.

This is the secret as a chemist; Dangote fuel burn slower than NNPCL and other imported ones because it has higher octane number which means slower fuel burning rate.

Octane number is a measure of a fuel's resistance to engine knocking or pinging, which can damage an engine. It's also known as an anti-knock rating.

It's a scale that rates fuel's ability to resist auto-ignition. Higher octane fuels (e.g. 91, 95, 98) are more resistant to knocking, while lower octane fuels (e.g. 87, 90) are less resistant.

When fuel auto-ignites too quickly, it can cause knocking or pinging, which can lead to engine damage. Higher octane fuels burn more slowly, reducing the risk of knocking.

This is especially important in high-performance engines, which operate at higher compression ratios and are more prone to knocking.

[quote author=Forumites post=133641334]Obi is a ghost that’s seen by all. You can’t arrest him. You wan cause problem be that. Mind you he is not like Nnamdi Kanu…. Before you come here come dey compare. [/quotes].

This current administration did worse when the opposition was in power.

budaatum:
Same subsidy he organised Nigerians to help him fight against, you mean.

Basically, he used you. He knew you'd all fight against fuel subsidy, so he marched in front and led you to fight knowing that will make him a man of your people, but now he's in power he is doing what should be done.

Hopefully, you have learnt not to trust your politicians, and make you scrutinise them much more.

Oga, do you know me anywhere? I wasn't even in Lagos then and didn't partake in any protests or whatever.

I was educated enough to know that they're all fighting for their pocket so please stop tagging as if you saw on the protest ground.

In as much as we have government who doesn't listen to the plights of their citizens. We should be considerate as landlord too, because it's a honour for God to bless you with an apartment for lease or rent.

Increasing rent arbitrary and yearly doesn't help the situation we find ourselves in this country..I can understand that there's inflation, cost of items and other essentials has increased significantly, but again, some of your tenants are struggling to survive, their salaries are not increased yearly.

As a landlord, do you know that you're doing more of a humanitarian service not purely for business? Increase your rent with wisdom and also, stop running after tenants that will give you millions and headaches later in future.

Tenants too should also respect their landlords and let us live in peace and harmony..Money should not be a factor all the time... There are houses I know in certain areas and estates here in Lagos that nobody wants to rent for the past three years because of outrageous fees and demand.

We are one and should continue to live as one. Go to the northern part of the country, even though, it's underdeveloped, you will see people accommodating other for free.

abbey621:
It works exactly that way since I own 4 properties in Lagos and this is how my lawyer deals with tenants....Okay!

And you think it's legal right?

abbey621:
Fine, for yearly renters, serve them quit notice as soon as 6 months is left on the lease, once lease expires they are no longer tenants, serve them a one week letter of intention to repossess, at that point any tenant is free to sign a new lease with the new price.....Court cannot stop landlords from choosing not to renew a lease

Oga it doesn't work that way okay.

budaatum:
Tinubu, you done well.

Other presidents had promised to remove fuel subsidy but found they lacked the balls you have.

Same subsidy he fought against in 2012?

Biodun556:
Check last election results, majority of them voted for Atiku

What will be his fate if his vote reduces drastically in the North because of the beef with the northerners?

LegendHero:
This is baseless. If Buhari candidate is Lawan, are you saying Buhari FG doesn’t have enough money to outspend Tinubu or Amaechi?

Let me tell you, if they go and do that primaries in heaven or mars, Tinubu will win flawlessly. He has too many loyal people within APC for him to lose to an Amaechi or Osinbajo. Even if Amaechi were to outspend him, he will still win.

See the Emilokan speech in Ogun. Tinubu was bold enough to go to Ogun state and warn Dapo Abiodun and the delegates that they must not do “egbo ile” by saying they will vote Osinbajo. Then telling everyone bluntly how he made Dapo at the stadium.

His People in APC stand to gain more with Tinubu as president for them to be discouraged by meagre less than $10k any other contender will spend on them.

Will Lagos delegate forfeit an Asiwaju presidency because a nobody Amaechi offer them $$?

Lastly bro, our politics will continue to have money influence. Even Obi bought the LP ticket and it is public info. Go and contest ordinary SUG president, you will understand why Nigeria politics will still have influence of money one way or the other.

I just said something earlier that Tinubu's influence and wealth, the support he got from northern Governor's and his support base in the south were major factors that helped him clinched the primary ticket.

Do you know how many people he has helped to become governor's, senators, ministers etc? that's why he said EMILOKAN. Even Buhari emergent to defeat Jonathan, he was a major factor.

He has started strategizing as soon as his tenure expired as the Governor of Lagos State.

Hausa:
Been thinking of learning a language, but I'm unsure for which.

Do you genuinely think learning Chinese will be good for a matured adult?

Do some certification in H.S.E(Nebosh) and project management..This will help you get job while doing your masters..If I might ask, which area of chemical engineering do you want to specialized and what school did graduate from?

When you get there and start making your Megabucks, no forget your paddy here😊
