 Politics › Re: Germany And Nigeria Population In 1980 Compared To Now by savcy(m): 4:05pm On Jul 12, 2023 |
Anyone stating our current population is a problem is either pro-Tinubu, being economical with the truth or flat out ignorant of the subject. Our population as it currently stands vis-a-vis our resources and level of productivity is very Ok. One major problem that compels us into thinking we're a poor nation: resource distribution. Let's use the NDDC as a case study. Since its inception the agency has received nearly 21trillion in allocation. Does the ND look like 21trillion has come there? No! Not even East West road has been completed till date. 70% of that money ended up in local and overseas bank accounts. 70% of that money wasn't used for it's intended purpose. The result is poor infrastructure in the subregion, and poor infrastructure means low productivity. We have the funds to finance an agriculture revolution that would put an end to importation of so many agric commodities we import, but the money we need to do this is domiciled in banks yielding interests that has no real economic impact. Elon Musk, Bill Gates etc. have most of their wealth tied to the value of their stocks, while most Nigerian rich people have billions in actual money lying in banks and doing nothing. Pension funds in bank accounts are in trillions, but they're not impacting the economy. We have the money to industrialize, bit we are not. We have the money to increase SME productivity, but we don't. If a man has billions and refuses to share it judiciously across his family they'd starve. |

dreamxhaser:I beg to differ. Using data from the last general election, it would be overreaching to assume we're even more than 150m. 90m registered voters (which by the way consist of even deceased persons, I know this personally), and yet, under 25 million votes cast in one of the most keenly contested election since 1993. During an ARISETV post-election show a comparative analysis was done to display the efficacy of the BVAS, and I saw where some PUs in Delta State, which used to record 60k plus votes pre-2023 having less than 5k votes in the 2023 general election. Factor in the massive underage voting that occasions our election and you understand the point. Reading comments thus far, I cringe at how Nigerians underestimate the type of politicians we have and how far they're willing to go to have a political advantage. Our population is terribly overbloated, especially down South. In fact, especially down South, we're soon going to experience a population decline due to urbanization. |

| Family › Re: My Husband Wants Us To Relocate To The Village by savcy(m): 4:38pm On Jun 20, 2023 |
This is the exact decision my late dad took months before he sadly passed on. I remember how scared I was at the prospect of living life in the village. In my case, I knew we weren't going to be there for too long, because my dad was a hard-working man, and he was a senior fire and safety officer before he was maliciously retrenched. But the fear was palpable in my family. Marriage, for me, is too sacred a thing to begin to suggest anything that potentially compromises it. He's your husband, and you made the conscious decision to spend the rest of your life with him. Painful as it may be, it's for better or for worse. So you have to leave with him. Give him that honour, and when you arrive there be the brains of the house. Kickstart a plan to return to the city, and find anything right you can do to actualise that plan. If there's a will, a way pops up. It's a rule of life that never fails. Sad what men turn out to be these days. Your husband has no right to unilaterally take that decision, but be kind to him. He will one day remember your acts of kindness and reward you. If you have anyone you can speak to that could speak to him, please do well to explore that option. Although, from your description of him that may likely be fruitless. But give it shot anywho. I feel sorry for you , because I have been there. |

One thing I never like about this man is his inability to accept responsibility for a wrong, whereas he and his ilks are the reasons for all that's happening in Nigeria till tomorrow. They introduced election fraud, wanton embezzlement, irresponsible NASS-ing, political killings...name it. The only thing he did of note was allowing investors into the telecoms sector. What else do we remember him for? He still holds the record for the government to oversee the biggest decrease in value of the naira to the dollar at nearly 600%. Ask him why he refused Nigeria's biggest economy by state allocation for months, and I'm so sure he'd blame someone else. 26 Likes 3 Shares |

To be fair, they're right. An ex-policeman cannot head a body that every security agency answers to. However, Tinubu must do well to appoint a southern Christian veteran as NSA boss.

| Politics › Re: What Will Be The Impact Of CBN Free-floating Naira Policy To The Economy? by savcy(m): 8:56pm On Jun 14, 2023 |
The naira eased at N668-$1at the I&E window today. I don't anticipate a drastic loss in value of the naira at all, and among many reasons, it's the fact that people don't seem to understand that no one actually knows the true value of the naira. Yemi Osinbajo mentioned once that, if export volume determined strength of currency, why didn't the naira gain value when oil hit north of $95/b. Several unconventional factors determine the value of the naira with the BDCs being the principal element in the intricate structure that's the Nigerian FX market. Artificial scarcity is another culprit. I think the market would stabilize, and if a rapid loss in value ensues, the government knows precisely what to do. All in all, as scary as it may seem, the policy is a step in the right direction. 1 Like 1 Share |
