HacheNoire:
Be patient, their is a new sheriff in town. Change is a gradual process.

His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is determined to address the key areas that affect Nigerians.

Their is so much on the table, but Asiwaju has made food and transport as top priority.
Yeah the dude will snap his fingers like thanos and change will occur. The damage that has occurred will take years to fix. The foundations are terrible . We are just growing sideways and not bottom up.

But what can your $16 min wage afford in the great America. Where you pay for everything .

We should always talk with reality. FG cannot afford 200k as minimum wage oga rather the FG should tackle inflation and exchange rate. That is the only way we can move forward
The guy you responded to has no idea what he’s talking about if a cleaner is getting 200k don’t you think teachers ,’doctors will not ask for the same rate increase. Tackle inflation and raise Gdp

LagosFirstSon:
Revert to the old price and come to the negotiating table or we go on strike

Bola Tinubu protested against fuel subsidy removal in 2014 during Goodluck Jonathan PDP government. Why go back to his vomit now?

Tinubu must be really stupid to think he can just wake up and take decisions without following due process
People say a lot of things when they are not provided with data. There is no way the country can afford it at the rate which is like 25UScents a liter . At least it should be on par with CBN dollar exchange rate.
That said - I am trying to see where in the budget for the past 10 years an allocation was made simply for subsidy. I don’t see.
We are spending more than we make.

We need to make a lot more money. There are a lot of people working in the civil service , defence, airports that are just getting a pay cheque with no actual task.
We should be emulating India and China and not America . We need to make the country attractive to investments that is why blindbat said he would look into the double tax .
There are lots of IT and customer service jobs that are in india that could have relocated to Nigeria but insecurity, trustworthiness robs us of billions.
It’s not coming back . We have to learn to live without

BTCJagaban:
Sir, this is not about law. It’s about rebuilding this country and rewriting the wrongs. With honor sir, should we continue the fuel subsidy?

All elder statemen in Nigeria should come together on this issue. It’s not about Tinubu or APC. It’s about our country and what’s pulling us back.
The issue of removal is not emotional or sentimental. It’s pure mathematics. We don’t have 1.4billion a year it takes to fund the thing if we want other sectors to be paid their salaries. Too much debt . God forbid we default on debt servicing . China or Russia will take your seaport as collateral
FamilyRe: This 35 Year-old Lady Needs Your Advice As She Plans To Get Married by rickleye: 1:07pm On Jun 03, 2023
Fineman2:
My name is Dora.

I am 35 years old and everybody keeps reminding me that age is no longer on my side.

My fiance and I have been dating for more than one year and we are getting married soon.

My fiance is 40 years old and he has never been married.

The relationship was really good when we started but now that our wedding is in a few weeks time, he has shown how controlling he can be.

From the choice of the wedding dress, to the bridesmaids selection, to the colour of the day, he wants to be in charge.

He also wants his mum to buy the cloth for our engagement as well as buy our wedding ring.

He does whatever his family says without seeking my opinion and it almost seems as if I am not the one getting married.

I told my parents about how this makes me feel and they just asked me to endure because I am getting older but I really fear for what is going to happen after the wedding.

Are these not red flags I should run from?

I am confused, please advise me.
Call me let’s chat .
On the off chance you don’t call .

As painful as it is break it off.
A broken relationship is better than a broken and unhappy marriage.
Even if he begs or people beg . Do so unless you will have a lot of sleepless and lonely nights.

jullary:
Good. Let the competition start.
It should be a competitive market, las las the price will definitely comes down without subsidy.
Hmm, the government should say this is the maximum you can charge. You can’t trust the Nigerian to set the price by themselves . So if I import 6Million barrels , I’ll get it cheaper than someone who imports 2million barrels. I can also therefore run the competition out of business by charging a lower price or work with my competitors in charging a higher price .

Dude you need to fight it out . Let him no who is the boss. He’s has been sizing you up and things he can take you down.
I’ll tell you a story . My brother and I are 3 years apart so growing up we shared a room . I took the top bunk and he lower bunk. But for some reason during the afternoon he likes to snooze in my bed . Now I caught him one many times because 1. He doesn’t know how to tidy the bed to perfection and 2. Smell. I have a different smell than he .
In any case we have been going at it for a while and then I dared him to not sleep on my bed . The fight lasted 2 mins as I brought out my cutlass to slash at him. He said no instruments so I kept my cutlass and started punching. Before we did I punch the wall with my bare knuckles to let him know that I would destroy him . My mom was shouting … my Sister held my waist begging me not to kill him . When my punch connected , it cracked his ribs sending him sprawling to the ground . I held his shirt and asked him - ARE WE DONE HERE ? Are we done here, all he could do was cry and hold his side . It’s been 20 years and he’s never made the mistake again
FamilyRe: Help Me With Budgeting.... My 400k Salary No Longer Takes Me Home. by rickleye: 1:32pm On Jun 01, 2023
Essenza01:
I really don't know anymore, i just did my budget for the month and i am scared, i have cut from everywhere possible and i fear for my self.. i dont have a GF, Wife, Children.. my salary is N400,000 and i have added side businesses and one or two's to even survive.. but with this fuel increase, what else is left... zero savings..

- Rent - N108,333/mth (1,300,000/12)
- Fuel for car - N180,000 (36k for 5-6days)
- Auto maintenance - N30,000/mth (service/repair)
- Fuel for generator - N50,000/mth (20ltr/wk)
- Feeding - N62,000 - (N2,000/day)
- Health miscellenous - N5,000/mth
- Dstv - N4,500/mth
- Data - N7,000/mth
- Recharge card - N3,000/mth
- Dry cleaner - N4,000/mth (Starch/iron)
- Hygiene maintenance - N10,000 (body spray/perfume, roll on, soap, cream) etc..
-  Gift to people - N10,000/mth
-  Family House contribution - N20,000/mth
- Eko electric - N10,000/mth
- repairs and maintenance - N12,000/mth
- Clothing, footwear etc - N10,000/mth
- Outings, restaurant, sit outs and provisions - N30,000/mth

Total = N556,500...

My rent is average rent for where i stay, its a two bed flat, i use the other room for home office..

Feeding is N2,000/day.. its not anything out of the ordinary.. tried cooking and spent more with time wasting.

Fuel for car is at the new rate of N500/ltr, my car is a 70ltr car tank..

Auto maintenance is basic brake pads, shocks, service 2mths, tire guage, police pr, tire purchase if any, minor touch ups etc... nothing major.

Fuel for generator is 20ltr/day (2hrs or less daily)

I need help.... how are you people doing it, what am i doing wrong? The rat race is killing me..
I love your breakdown . It shows some of you are listening to what people have been encouraging you to do .

Some eyebrow raising issues though.
1. It appears you are living beyond your means .
You are supposed to plan around your budget so for starters your living quarters is too expensive. Your lifestyle is too expensive. You can save when you are in the plus not negative .
A 100,000 a month on a 400,000 month salary.
Your vehicle should be for weekends only and not on daily use so carpool with someone.

Now what would solve the issue without cut backs is if you were living with someone so that you can share the bills 50/50 or 60:40

My 2 cents

PoliticsRe: Is N488 The New Official Price Of Fuel? (NNPC Station In Lagos) by rickleye: 1:00pm On May 31, 2023
Was not a fan of fuel subsidy removal but after listening to Mele Khari talk, it is clear that its implementation made sense but its removal makes greater sense. Yes, this is one of the many ills our fathers passed down to us
1. Corruption
2. Oil dependency

If oil subsidy cost 2.8 trillion over 2 years. ( from February 2021 through to June 31, 2023) ( 1.4m yearly )
When revenue for the country is just 5.8 trillion. How do we pay for “ free “
Education & Health , Defence, infrastructure, debt servicing, debt principal itself.
This was doable when we just under 100m but since 2000 we are over populated. Census now at 160m plus 20m living outside the country.

One of many problems continues to be how we share , disseminate information. President says Fuel Subsidy is gone but does not explain concrete steps when it will be removed , how the masses will be compensated and why it had to be removed.

Why would you start off your campaign with such a divisive move. Usually most countries have short term goals like first 100 days in office and long term goals .

Now we just recovered from Bad Naira redesign policy where Nigerians had to pay in order to access their money 🤷. Now they have to content with highly inflated prices at the pumping station with fuel these stations paid at a subsidized price. 🤷.

In any case - I don Japa o …

RomanceRe: This Is The Biggest Scam Of All Time! by rickleye: 7:28pm On May 30, 2023
You lack understanding hence why you see mArriage as a scam.
If you marry a career woman who has her own money and has a 9-5 job or business like yours you’ll know it’s a blessing and not an anchor to drag you down.
If you have an emergency in the middle of the night, which of your friends will come to your aid asap.
If you are hungry and thirsty who will you call in the evening and say dear could you make me something.
With whom will you grow old with to talk about life and plans for old age with.
With whom will you make children with .
Who will stay with you in the hospital to watch over you and make sure that your affairs are okay.
A marriage is suppose to be a bond , you argue and make up not cut and run . It is something both of you work on without external interferences.
Just like the agenda of normalizing gay rights and LGBTQ. You guys continue to bash marriage and you will realize that there will be no commitment to each other. Only companion where each person can just up and leave at anytime they want.
The society we are inheriting from our fathers and fore fathers is based on 2 people becoming one. 1 flesh . You people suddenly have grown 2 heads and now call it a scam.
If you don’t want to marry then don’t but don’t pass along your faulty assumptions on everyone else
