For the President to say that inflation will reduce from 34.4% to 15% , he is not being realistic or possibly over ambitious.
Or possibly those close to him are not telling him the blunt truth. For me it's impossible to reduce the current inflation to 15%
So Mr President I don't believe you. |

advanceDNA: If u use ur debit card to take buy goods at shop and it's successful..that's a classical debit and credit transaction....i.e. you should be debited while the merchant should be credited...
But sometimes, debit and credit doesn't happen simultaneously real time.......the transaction might say successful yet the merchant isn't credited....the legder balance is like a suspense account that keeps track of in complete transaction realtime to avoid losses, keeping the money out of your reach by moving to ledger balance, so that seamless reconcilation can happen at a later time and the merchant can have value without chasing you to come and pay.....
It's happens with credit too, example if u have paid another banks cheque into our account before or receive international inflow.. Very apt. It may also happen when you get a loan facility from the bank and decided to pay upfront before the due date. So what will happen next is for you to send a mail to the bank so they can correct it. |

SiIver: Sounds like another rivers state drama. But unfortunately for them, the LGA Chairmen doesn't have their own power, despite the Local government autonomy running It is so because the Constitution still mandate the House of Assembly to either suspend or remove an erring LGA Chairman. This is why the autonomy for the LGA given by the Supreme Court is neither here nor there. So long as the governor still have power over the House of Assembly cases like this will continue and the governor will always win. So the problem is from our constitution which is flawed with irregularities. |

jumper524: Please pardon my typo.
Ok I'm currently doing my NYSC in one of the northern state as a teacher, I returned home for the festive break only to discover lots have change in my community after just 3 months of being away.
My community a peaceful community in Abuja has turned something else and is gradually becoming a real ghetto. But then the key point I noticed is that our boys are loosing it completely to drugs. "Colorado“ in particular. I'm not an hypocrite so I'll say this too, yes I do smoke too, even the Colorado I've tasted it too and concluded that the drugs is on another level, it's not particularly the cruise we all want to enjoy when we sit as men and smoke together. I noticed most of the fresh and promising boys have become hopeless and ragtag. I mean they say it themselves how they realize they are becoming useless by the day, infact the community guys are now divided into groups, they no longer align with the Colorado crew. Everyday one drama of misbehaving or another, you find them sleeping in public places all in the name of cruise. Almost zero motivation to leave the ghetto unlike in the past. To cut the whole story short, they are at the level where they now sell things from their home to iron condemn just to get money to buy the same hard drugs doing them dirty. You know a junkie? That's what they now behave like. For non smokers, it's hard to differentiate amongst us. Those who smoke weed, those who do drugs and those who smoke just cigarettes. I've always been an advocate that smokers are also very responsible people. But then this is a new low in my environment and I honestly wished that drugs can be whisked away from the earth. If you no dey do the following 1. Take drugs 2. Smoke 3. Womanize 4. Drink alcohol You will not know what God has done for you |

Politics › Minimum Wage: NULGE Tackles FG And States For Sidelining LG Workers by saintopus(op): 1:42pm On Dec 13, 2024 |
The National Union of Local Government Employees has raised concerns about the exclusion of some local government workers from receiving the newly approved minimum wage of N70,000. NULGE’s National President, Hakeem Ambali, expressed the concern in an interview with The PUNCH on Wednesday. Ambali attributed the situation to delays in implementing local government autonomy, which has left workers uncertain about the appropriate channels to voice their grievances regarding minimum wage payments. While federal and some state employees have started benefiting from the wage increase approved by President Bola Tinubu’s administration, the situation remains inconsistent for local government workers. Ambali noted that workers in states such as Ogun, Rivers, and Kano have begun receiving the new minimum wage, but others have been left out. “It should be the same across the board. This is a national Act—no category of worker should be exempted,” Ambali stated. He added that the lack of local government autonomy had compounded the issue, as some governors argue that local government workers fall outside their jurisdiction. Ambali urged the government to expedite efforts to address the disparity in wage implementation and safeguard the rights of local government employees. https://punchng.com/minimum-wage-nulge-tackles-govs-for-sidelining-lg-workers/ |

ivandragon: Understanding Tinubu’s definition of ‘fake life’
He chose an academic gathering to define and redefine the lives Nigerians had been living before he became president. “Unfortunately, the good life we thought we were living was a fake one that was capable of leading the country to a total collapse unless drastic efforts were urgently taken,” he said at the combined convocation ceremonies of the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) in Ondo state.
In one swoop, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu blamed Nigerians for the “fake life” they had been living, absolved the government of which his own party had been in charge for over eight years, and dubbed himself the Messiah. He did not explain what constituted luxury living for Nigerians save for the usual allusion to petrol subsidy and “subsidy” of the naira. But was there luxury living in Nigeria prior to Tinubu’s administration?
It is a dubious acknowledgement of the travails the people are going through without taking responsibility. If the economy is much tougher now than it was 10 years ago, does it mean the standard of living then was characterised by luxury? At the time APC dislodged Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and his PDP from Aso Rock, the major strategy was anchored on leveraging what was described then as the poor living condition of the people. In Nigeria, in 2015 when APC came to power, the minimum wage was N18,000 ($91.4), dropping in 2023 when the wage was increased to N30,000 ($66). On the other hand, top oil-producing African countries pay far higher than Nigeria ever paid as a minimum wage. Gabon, for instance, pays N376,000, while that of Ghana was N60,000. Countries like Liberia, which even Nigeria classifies as a poor country, pay $91 as minimum wage.
By the time Tinubu increased the minimum wage further to N70,000, its actual value fell to $44. If the extant minimum wage at different times could not let a worker afford a shuttle flight to Lagos or Abuja from other parts of the country, if all he could afford was a 50 kg bag of rice as was the case before 2015, then what was the luxury Nigerian workers enjoyed at the time? At every stage of upward review of minimum wage, many manufacturers and entrepreneurs could not afford to pay the new minimum wage due to the high cost of production and running costs. When the minimum wage rose to N70,000 in July this year, only 21 states acknowledged their ability to pay their civil servants the new rate, a continuation of what had obtained previously.
There is no framework for reviewing minimum wage to offset the inevitable increase in inflation, as is the case with Vietnam, where a five percent increase in salaries is routinely effected annually. Invariably, reviews in the past had never reflected on the prevailing inflation rate but on how the labour leaders were able to arm-twist the government to accede to their demands.
“As you are all aware, we took the baton of authority at a time when our economy was nosediving as a result of heavy debts from fuel and dollar subsidies,” Tinubu said. This is a devious simplification of Nigeria’s debt profile. The President chose to ignore the fact that at some point, precisely in 2004, former President Olusegun Obasanjo had negotiated debt relief with the Paris Club after paying a substantial amount of the debt en bloc, effectively freeing Nigeria from the debt trap.
Umaru Yar’Adua, Obasanjo’s successor, took the external debt to $3.5 billion, while the domestic debt was at N5.62 trillion. Goodluck Jonathan added $3.8 billion to take the country’s total external debt to $7.35 billion, while the domestic debt was N8.8 trillion.
But when Muhammadu Buhari and Tinubu’s party, the APC, took over, domestic debt rose from N8.84 trillion in December 2015 to N44.91 trillion in June 2023, while external debt increased from $7.35 billion in December 2015 to $37.2 billion in June 2023.
Tinubu’s so-called “heavy debts from fuel and dollar subsidies” were essentially a mismanagement by his predecessor and party man whose borrow-and-spend mentality returned the country to the debt trap barely 20 years after Obasanjo did the unusual of weaning Nigeria from the Paris Club and western creditors. The characterisation of Nigerians as having been living in undeserved luxury is an attempt to blame the victim for his travails. As long as Tinubu prefers to play the ostrich on the state of the economy and the living condition of the people, there can never be an altruistic pathway to giving Nigerians minimum comfort.
First, Nigerians had never lived in luxury or fake life. They just barely managed to get by. By glossing over the point at which the debt burden was again foisted on the country along with the wanton looting that characterised the management of the loans, the administration showed it is incapable of evolving a working strategy to alleviate the suffering of the masses. For as long as the former governor of the Central Bank is cast as the scapegoat solely responsible for the ruining of the economy, for as long as the real perpetrators of the macabre despoilation of the country are shielded from accounting for their rulership, the attempt to make ordinary Nigerians, the victims of that era, now the people to blame, Tinubu has not got a road map to bring the country back from the brink.
The true message from President Tinubu is that the real life suitable for Nigerians is the one his administration has plunged the country into. They will have to live with hunger, deprivation, and a bleak future. After all, they had lived a luxury they had not earned upfront before he came to Aso Rock.
