North is talking and this coward is pointing east .....real coward

You dy mind them? They can never confront the North no matter what, they rather shift the post to the SouttEast. Very dangerous people.

Let those who want to protest go ahead, while we keep eating in Aso Rock.

God created Nigerians and used goat brain on them.

Olachase:
Nice one

The South East can carry on with their protest, they have been on lockdown since early last year and the economy didn't feel the impact of the lockdown,

If the North protest from now till 2027 nothing will happen, even the foods they claimed to be feeding Nigeria this government don open there Yash 😄😄

And you think the people of SouthEast care about Nigeria?

TimeManager:
In 2012, SS and SE didn't join in the protest. In 2020, North didn't join in the protest. In 2024, what's good for the goose is sauce for the gander.

-Kiss the truth!

SouthEast have never and will never join any protest against bad governance in Nigeria. Kiss the truth.

LagosPrince:
Stock up your homes people , it's surely gonna be a long protest

Are you not enjoying the government of PBAT? What protest?

Hope you will lead the protest.

The combined team of Army, Police and civil defense should be mobilised immediately to deal with these touts. The president should give for shoot on site. They should not disturb the already peace we are having in this country.

Let's all enjoy the government for the next 8 years.

Celplas1010:
Mr. President most act fast. Nigerians are suffering. He need to open the border and reduce the cost of fuel. Otherwise, Northerners will use this opportunity to destabilize the country

Opening the border is never an option, it will take our economy 20 years backward. Subsidy is no longer sustainable.

madridguy:
This is impressive. Tinubu must bring back the fuel subsidy. We cannot be buying fuel at high price, cooking gas is 1500 per Kg and the electricity tariff is unbearable yet both VAT and Import duty goes up every day.

Tinubu should not tax us to death. Within a year you removed every life lines we Nigerians are enjoying.

Bring back our subsidy Tinubu.

Let's give Tinubu time, his policies will favor all of us on the long run. Protest is not the answer, moreover, protest against leaders is against Islamic laws.

lexy2014:
You didn't answer my question.

Why is it that when it's meant to benefit the citizens, it will cause inflation but when the politicians steal billions, it doesn't cause inflation?

Which minimum wage was agreed on?

When was it agreed on?

Take that question to your politicians who you voted for.

lexy2014:
Why is it that when it's meant to benefit the citizens, it will cause inflation but when the politicians steal billions, it doesn't cause inflation?

The FG are crafty, they know that the minimum wage increase will cause more inflationary pressure, but who will hold them responsible if that happens? They have done what the people want.

The minimum wage have been agreed on, let's watch the economy starting from when it was implemented.

Vinnie2000:
STOP spreading Misinformation.

Minimum Wage will NOT lead to Inflation because not all Nigerians will receive.

Market Pple CAN'T Inflate Prices of Foodstuffs when they know that Barber, POS Operator, Private School Teacher, University Undergraduate, etc did NOT receive any Minimum wage.😕😕

You are really ignorant of economics, let me give you a little example.

Can you comfortably stay in an environment dominated by Yahoo boys? Yes, you might not be a Yahoo boys, buy you will buy commodities at the same price with them, else the market people will tell you that "someone will but it at that price".

Who told told you that there is "price discrimination" in the Nigeria market. When minimum wage goes up, price increase affects everyone irrespective of your occupation. I see you must be a civil servant,ask those in the market what will happen to price if wages go up.

In 2019, when the wages was increased to 30,000 the first commodity that went up in price was coca cola, mind you, there was no increase in price by the company.

Why do you think prices of commodities go up during election campaign all over the country, it is assumed that there is more and free money to go round.

The typical Nigerians market man and woman believe that when wages is being increased, then he should also earn more, he increases price not minding who is buying.

More reowned economists and financial experts have warned against increasing the wages without first working on the economy,and if the economy is worked on,then only a moderate minimum wage should be paid, as not to increase too mu money in circulation.

Most of you civil servants and 9-5 workers think we don't want increase in wage, why not, since the inflation will only benefit business men.

I am talking to you as an economist and a business man, if wages go up in this period of almost hyperinflation, then next year will be survival of the fittest in Nigeria.

Racoon:
More Shege promax still loading everywhere. When adjusted for headline inflation, food inflation, fuel price increase and foreign exchange movement, the current wage level has lost its value and would need to be tripled to restore the purchasing power of the working class.

An average worker, whether they are on public or private sector payrolls, the analysis suggests, will need an almost 200 per cent pay raise to maintain the 2019 utility level, otherwise, they will slip further below the poverty index.

The government ought to have declared a state of emergency on the economy, healthcare sector especially on drugs/emergency medicines, but trust they won't because the drugs concerned are not recreational drugs that these wicked politicians consume( cocaine, heroin, marijuana, angel dust etc). This country really needs a resetting.

The politicians find it hard to sacrifice their ostentatious and expensive political lives but are always asking the poor downtrodden, distraughted and despairing citizens to brace up for more hardship. Imagine NASS members buying exotic SUVs for themselves telling people of bracing for more impact.

Many of you fail to understand how the economy work. Increasing the minimum wage right now will mean increasing the prices of commodities, Tinubu and his economic team are clueless,watch and see how prices will shoot up next year as a result of increase in wages alone.

Increase in wage is impossible, but the government must bring price stability tools and work on the economy, bring policies that will aid production and investment, without this, the increase in wage will cause more inflation.

I pity Nigerians if minimum wage should be increased without effort to correct the issues that brought about the Sharp increase in price. The hyperinflation that will follow will be unbearable.

But for us businessmen, we will just increase and keep increasing prices.

hmohammed:
We will never vote for Obi, that one is for sure. Things will get better inshaallah

That is one thing with the hausa from North, you guys can die of hunger so long as an Igbo man is not the president of Nigeria.

May you keep being hungry inshallah. A bag of corn is almost #100k in the North and about 90 percent of hausa cannot afford it.

Orinechi:
Nobody is dieing of hunger Forget ur rhetorics. When u work u eat, if u don't work u are not supposed to eat. Never seen someone who worked and didn't eat. Go and work; stop blaming government.

If a bag of rice gets to 200k, I will eat it. But I am not sure about your people who won't leave Obi rest. How will they afford it from 60,000 naira wage.

You have not seen anything yet, Asif we don't see videos of your people fainting in the market cause of hunger.

Orinechi:
Yes. Out-and-out supporter. Do u want me to whisper something to ur ear? Listen: Obi will never be president of Nigeria.

A bag of local is 75k, paint of beans is close to 10k, Obi will not die of hunger, Nigerians will, your people will.

PressMyButton:
Same could be said about you, seems Tinubu is the air y'all breathe.

We don't care about Tinubu, we only criticize his policies, being the president of Nigeria.

Obi is not your president, leave him and the Igbo tribe out of the failure of Nigeria.

uncleck:
The pattern with which naira was gaining recently looked suspicious and appeared fake. There was no significant policy shift that necessitated the rise of naira so it was just a matter of time before it goes back to it's real value. That notwithstanding, don't rely on this momentary fall to make your speculations. I heard many people are paying their school fees abroad this period thus driving the demand for foreign currency ...

It doesn't, ask an economist. That is what you gain when a weak currency is being floated.

PressMyButton:
From 1100 back up to 1400, Obidients are jubilating once again, they are no longer saying CBN is defending the naira. Despite debunking their lies of CBN defending the naira when it was gaining.
Can we say Naira is falling when CBN is defending it?

All my life I thought the Hausa people are so unintelligent and myopic and allow bitter politics to cover their sense of reasoning. I never knew Yoruba were worst, now I respect the Hausa people.

Do you people sleep dreaming of Igbo, Obidients and Peter Obi?

Soon if your wife can't conceive, you will blame Igbo and Peter Obi.

onuman:
Prices never go down in Nigeria. Prices in other countries go up and come down according to fluctuations of currency exchange rate influenced by government policies.

Nigeria under APC has lost traction, out of government control.

Price doesn't go up and down according to fx or govt policy. Prices go up or down based on the inflow of demand and supply, although fx and government policy plays a role in prices of goods but not the major factor.

Birdbyrde440:
The naira is currently trading at N1270/$1 in the online market as futher downturn is expected.

They will soon call you Obidients.

muykem:
By July/ August food prices will crash very well.

Which food? That is your imagination. Food prices will crash Sept - December. July/August is the scarcity season, unless govt opens land borders for food to come in.

fitinwell:
Wetin b Paddi?

Rice with it cover, paddy is milled to get rice.

Teetee777:
People should expect foodstuffs to drop in price during the harvest period which is from Sept to Dec this year. We are off-peak period when foodstuff used to be expensive.

Even the dry season harvest Price drop won't last a month.

The demonic government of Nigeria you have been defending since the 70s will soon be exposed. Thank God you are getting this from government source, the Eastern Nigerian just like the North has so many ethnicity just like the North, but the Nigeria government with her divide and rule broke these ethnicities.

Those tribes you mentioned are all part of Aligbo, even other tribes from Rivers, Akwaibom and Calabar are all part of Aligbo.

alanto:
Socialmediaman how do you see this comment? Shouldn't this guy be banned abi hypocrisy will make you look away?

Ban me from my trading business and I will lift a lid, ban me from nairaland, you are wasting your time not mine.

Divine15:
Don't let jealousy blind you, Chiefpriest has always used "Money na Water" as his end signature on most of his recent posts.

Left for the Yoruba people, Indigbo should starve and beg on the street. Theyyy will all die of jealousy. See how they were all interested about Chief priest case, I know the bail really pained them.

Splashme:
The most foolish Nigerians are APC supporters.

See, even a primary School CBN governor can do what Cardoso is doing.

The man is simply dipping a hand in our foreign reserves, share it at subsidised rates for Banks & BDCs to sell to Nigerians at regulated rates.

Same thing Emefiele was doing
.

Same thing i was saying before they came for my head on the other thread. The exchange rate market is technically fixed again, but, most of them don't understand how exchange rate market works or have little knowledge of economics.

CBN sells dollar to BDCs and bank, mandate them to sell at a particular rate, that mean the exchange rate market has been fixed. Then, they will float it again when they want to steal.

Unperturbedpota:
Actually you are wrong. Peter obi was and remains my candidate.

I am just trying to focus on a better Nigeria until election time comes around. No point being negative when the elections won't be for another 3 years is there?
I just want things to get better

We are do sir, we criticise Tinubu policies not because we hate him, but because we believe they are not OK. No one will want Nigeria not to succeed and then suffer along, people are suffering, a man I know in the North just died, his wife was hospitalized, out of frustration and lack of money, he developed some sort of sickness and died.

Who is Tinubu policies benefitting, absolutely nobody but the rich businessmen and politicians.

Unperturbedpota:
We are yet to feel the impact of thee policies but hopeful. I don't believe in propaganda but truth be told Tinubu has been pushing out S.M.A.R.T policies. Let's wait and see how things play out.

But I feel he has to tackle head on the consumer protection agencies that regular consumer good prices.

They have to start working or he better scrap these agencies

What are the smart policies and how have they positively affected the economy. Pls don't tell me that using the foreign reserve to defend the naira is a smart policy.

I understand that he is your candidate, but one thing you guys do not understand is that politicians do not care about the people. I will criticise Peter Obi if he had been the one with these killing policies.

Tinubu policies are not about smart or bad, they are policies brought to enrich himself and his friends.

garfield1:
It seems the inflation is biting you hard son hence you bringing it up.tinubu will rule till 2031.
By the way, information on ethnicities is not about Tinubu or any particular president but Nigeria official records even before independence.infact,even international organizations corroborate it.you have no moral right to talk here son since you claimed atiku won the north and you don't even know how ethnographic infos are gotten,you blindly think it's from tinubu.you people from that side always overreach and over do.better shut up and allow people from the disputed areas to talk

Why will inflation hit me when I am into trade? The Inflation happens to be a blessing for us as traders.

Soon, they will tell you that you are from Togo, which I don't doubt, lolz. I hope you will take it as it is from the government.

People from the disputed areas are not the ones making the so called data, if they were, you would have gotten real, unrefined data on ethnicity.
