I hope so but I don’t understand what is going on. Yesterday they sold it at 1,021 to BDC. So what’s going on?

The people are not being real, they are just forcing the thing with our external reserves and loans. The danger in what they are doing is that once they run out of these resources, the fall will be unimaginable. I guess they are hoping that money will just come somehow, who does that?

The real solutions include:
1. Politicians to stop stealing
2. Encourage export by remove at least 90% of the bottle-necks therein, if not all
3. Fight oil theft like it is terrorism, eliminate it
4. Stop any form of dolarization (it is also shameful that a govt agency, the customs, uses dolar to quote their fees), come on, these people act like we do not have a country, like this is just a limited liability company.
5. Reduce unemployment by encouraging the private sector
6. Invest heavily in Agriculture
7. Declare state of emergency in energy sector
8. With improved electricity, reduce the stress of doing business in Nigeria to attract foreign investors.
... and many more.

I was told yesterday evening that half cup was 150. Omo, I kukuma carry my 300 go buy three wraps of fufu instead of one cup of garri at 300. You see garri eh, her father.

How you take know say garri na woman?

edogu:

That's what they taught us in school especially if the accused happens to be an eye witness, a minor etc. Again, like out earlier, there's a possibility the accused may be exonerated. So, in other to avoid the stigma that follows such report, their faces are usually blurred or covered.

Mind you in the age social media anybody can record and upload without considering the implications.

I get, but in this case there is no implication, he has owned up to his crime. Even CNN shows mass shooters when caught, or drivers evading police. Nothing dey there. This adult cultist has told you the cult he belongs, told you the person he killed, and why he killed him. Journalists should know when to hide people's faces, not in cases like this.

edogu:

It is unprofessional in journalism to display the face of someone yet to be convicted especially if it's crime related. What if the person is found innocent, what will now happen to the picture displayed on the media?

So those people they show on crime fighters had been convicted? Was Evans convicted before display? This one even confessed to us that he committed murder, the journalist was even emphasising his admitting to the crime perhaps to hear him say otherwise, since like you think, he has not been convicted.

Display his face and say he was "alledged" to have committed a crime, no burden there.

People are wicked in this country.

Greed will finish us in this country.

Go to trade fare and see how street retailers are ripping us off big time.

My wife bought her body cream CT+ at the rate 2100 at trade fare yesterday while in our area retailers are selling it for 3700.

Kk brothers soap my wife bought the pack for 7k(6pieces) while one is sold for 1700 by retailers.

Her sanitary pad she bought 1 pack at the rate of 1050 while retailers sell for 1700.

Even strike bitters sachet pack(20 pieces) wey I dey always use console myself i buy for 2000 she got it for 1450.

Note she didn't even buy at carton price but at pack price because if she was buying in carton the price would be lower that than.


Just yesterday I bought a derica of rice on my way back home for 900 around oshodi terminal while the seller in my street is still selling for 1300 despite price of bag of rice coming down.

We are own problem.......everyone is wicked in this country.

The retailers have done you NP wrong, they did not stop you from going to shop at Trade fair every day, or every weekend. Those selling items for 1200 at trade fair bought it foe about 400, they did not stop you from travelling abroad to buy your own.

Come on, this is a free world, buy and sell as you wish. You did not give your street seller the capital to start that business. If he price are too high, simply check the next store

So none of you can show his face? Shame! Are you sure this not the type that his patrons will pay out of police custody tomorrow, and by 2031 he will become a lawmaker?

God1000:
Now I understand US unwavering and ironclad support for Israel even when atrocities are being committed.


Israel is officially the 51st US state


Please I don't hate Israelis my people, I don't just like netanyahu and his right wing government.

Hahahahahaha, how many Nigerians live in the US?.

PressMyButton:

Do you know how much dollars we spend on imports annually compared to the shortages in reserves?. If you want drugs, sit down your lazy ass and produce drugs locally. You don't bleed the economy because of importation, you are myopic sighted.

It's simply "myopic" or you say "short-sighted".

Fraudulent government. You tell others not to mention dolar when doing business in Nigeria, but a government agency quotes their fees in dolar and gives you a rate to pay with. This country is simply a shithole.

TruthsFM:
Isreal defence force are much prepared even before the war started. The bring war to the doorstep of their enemies. Iran will be worst than Gaza in matter of days and weeks. I pity the innocent iranians that will suffer the consequences

I am wondering the corridor Israel will pass to take the war to Iran, they are surrounded by hostile mutual neighbours. They either stay put and defend, or have an excuse to start invading direct neighbours that give Iran an assault platform. Well, Israel no be small pickin for dis matter, they know what to do.

predictor1:
I knew it would lead to this. I'm curious to see how Israel would fight a war on two fronts.

You think Israel will let this slider? Those people na law of Moses raise to power 5 dem still dey practise o

tommykiwi:
This man forget say na 9ja him dey, him think say here na abroad in.

Even if na abroad, na like dis? He is making the scam obvious

Nigerians keep acting dumb. Your government has segregated between the poor and the rich and the poor find it ok. It means that if you are not rich, then you are not entitled to electricity.

Eriokanmi:
Obinrin ti ko ba ę, one man down. My peeps, if hustling doesn't kill you, avoid anything that wouid cause women to kill you or your career. Same applies to female gender running after men

Even the 'hustling' is remotely tied to a woman. Any man not killed by a woman, directly or remotely, cannot be killed by a 60T bulldozer.

techub:
Men should learn to marry averagely beautiful ladies.... Eee get why.

You can't fetch an ant infested firewood and expect not to be visited by fowls

Is that fat lady too beautiful for that man? We don't exactly the reason the fool killed them. Both of them are likely birds of the same feather because there is no way they had not seen the signs in both. They could have simply walked away. I don't support divorce, but separation is far better than letting another cut your life short.

oliverwrites:
Sadly I agree with you and when I wrote what I wrote, I wrote it selfishing considering my own situation. I am totally against the hike and for the reasons you highlighted.

People claim Nigerians don't pay tax but every Nigerian at least pays VAT, does the vat they collect in addition to the vast natural resources we have correlates with development in the land? Sadly no.

I waiting to see if Nigeria will ever have good leaders, I used to be a believer of "Nigeria will be great someday", but sadly, I am beginning to fear if this will happen in our lifetime.

oliverwrites:
I have supported most moves by this government but on this I do not agree. I personally don't mind paying as much as 200k per month for electricity ( I currently pay about 13k monthly and about 450k on generator ) however, you can't ask people to pay 225 when they don't get even up to 8 hours of electricity per day. It is madness and absolutely unacceptable.

Nigerians should not be made to suffer for the problem the corruption of the middle class brought upon us.

I hope people stand up against this nonsense.

So you also think others think so? Paying 200k a month on how much salary? Besides, I hope you all know that electricity is not more essential than food and education, so a man has to feed, clothe and educate his family before giving thought to some of these other bills. It simply means that these people do not wish a good life for the citizenry. They are not even thinking of 24hrs electricity. I would have wished they provide the electricity first, then start negotiating the fee.

If I may ask. What does the government now subsidize? They have removed subsidy on petroleum, education, and now electricity. These people are wicked. Shouldn't they have increased wages first? Now they will feast on the money they removed from subsidy, just like they are already doing through budget padding. Nigerians I pity.

Wow, nice thing to do. She needed to move on with her life, but she feels indebted to the man. She has a large heart. Since the man cannot fulfil her sexual desires, he will be no threat to any man she tangles with. She is kind, yet smart

Advice is actually one of the cheapest things to offer, even when the advisor cannot dare practice what he is advising others.
Everything you said there is correct, 100%. But the fact that people initially, especially in Nigeria, are grateful for even seeing where to go to every morning and return in the night so they can have 30k into their bank account at the end of the month is a think to ponder over. Many know what they want, but they also know that what they want may never become reality because of the environment they find themselves.

Donaldoni:


People earning far less than me are also doing well. They are building their houses. That's the fact and the point I am trying to make.

Hahahahahaha

Donaldoni:


@bolded Nope.
I live in an x-bedroom flat with 2 toilets. Most of you guys live in studio
My living standard is quite high and above the regular average here. So you can't use me to judge.

This debate is becoming useless to me because the point has been missed. I only debate to learn. You have already. Acknowledge you earn more than 200k a month.
I am wondering the location where a rent of 250k per Anuum comes with 5 bedroom flat with 2 toilets and the standard of living is compared to a living in UK.
Please be informed that in most places abroad, the size of your apartment is determined by the size of your family. 700-1000 pounds gives you a decent place.

Any, I do not live in the UK. Please learn to have a health and smart debate.

Zaccshegzy:

It's Naira not Pounds, I believed it's an error.
So it's N80 million not £80 million.

Ok o

Donaldoni:


I have a washing machine but I choose to hire someone to do the washing for me.
How is that your headache?

I enjoy near 24 hours light so much so that I don't even have a generator.
Sometimes, I have to switch off my freezer to get stuffs out.

God secures us here. I have never had to visit the police station or call the cops for any security issue.

My human rights are intact. I am free to practice my faith and NOBODY dictates to me how to treat my wife and children unlike you niggerrrs abroad.

My house rent is 250k per year and it's been so since 2020.

You said the person in UK saves 500k monthly. Why do you guys like converting your chicken change pounds to Naira just to feel good?

Did you not purchase a visa and flight ticket to enter the UK? What the huge school fees you paid to attend a mushroom university over there?

Can you stay in UK and enjoy your Naira here in Nigeria?

If you are to visit Nigeria, don't you know how much it will cost you in air fares and the rest?

So you see, you are just managing over there. Nothing spectacular.

Hahahaha. You know where you Belong bro. 200k monthly and 250k per annum for a face me i face you abi. I am perplexed you have not even seen the issue here. It means you earn well over 200k monthly, so the comparison by onyema is useless.

Under-reported corruption news. Why?

Oyegbile Adeniran received £80 million from the ministry in six transactions,

£1 was at least N800
£80 would have been around N64B. Why report N1.4B?

extol1:
How do some of this state governor that didn't borrow money doing it. I think those of them that are borrowing money needs to learn from them

I always say it, once you get a politician who is not a thief, and who is not occultic and sold to the devil, forget it. The money they receive from FG monthly is huge enough to make a state like abroad, trust me. Just that few individual sit down to share the money. Once the governor disapproves of the stealing, then he must not be a thief to be able to survive. But if he is stealing and wants to stop his leutenants, na there him go get problem. Abia state is a role model now.

Was looking for Abia state there. Come on, we need to applaud this man Alex Otti.

God, you have really remembered the people of Abia, not just in any small measure, but to make it truly God's Own State, from bottom out of 36 heading to no. 1

I am still waiting to see who will make Alex Otti stop developing Abia, I am waiting.

helinues:




Admit you goofed with that early comment.

I don't think he goofed, unless he had mentioned the consumption of the vehicles locally. Every manufacturing development first needs electricity.

Come to think of it, they should support local manufacturers first. Nigerian politicians just keep going round circles and have zero interest of the people at heart. Even if the president means well, these thieves will only venture into what will swell their pockets

Donaldoni:


Be deceiving yourself.

Total is 200k(could be a little more)

Sure @bolded

Thank God

You are the one deceiving yourself, deceiving ignorant people, and being deceived by the people who made the lame comment that 200k salary in Nigeria is better than 2k in uk.

Now you have listed what 200k gets you, using your hand to wash your clothes, with low quality life (no power supply, human right abuses, no security, etc), you did not even include your house rent. It means if you were to pay house rent, then the 200k won't be enough. I didn't see you brag that you also pay driver salary as he had claimed.

I know of a friend who lives in UK, with 3 kids, and yet he saves 500k every month. A lot of people just stay in Nigeria and console themselves and find point to argue that their leaders are treating them welll, instead of holding them accountable.

Please travel to UK, live their for 6 months, then come back let's have this debate.

Donaldoni:


How can people who dare not leave their lights on be happy to use the washing machine

Using machine here can be stressful especially if the cloths are much like ours.

@bolded
Around 25k(could be more) including PMS and gas

Lol, the story they tell you at home. Nobody uses hand to wash any clothe in a civilized society bro.

If you spend 25k weekly, that makes it 100k monthly. Does that mean all your expenses for the month is adequately taken care of?

Donaldoni:


The level of shopping I did yesterday is monthly and I spent a little over 100k. There is the weekly one.

People don't wash with hand abroad Can you afford the power bill

Power bill where? You will also ask me if I can afford internet bill. Washing with hand is a sign of developing or underdevelopment.

So after spending 100k a month how much do you spend shopping weekly?
