I was in a meeting today with someone who wants to engage a full time vendor. The person is committed to doing so. They have no choice but to pick one of the vendors they interview. That is what an election is. Or an interview. You have to weigh the pros and cons and pick someone.

As to the state of Nigeria I do not expect it to be easy. We have been on too many unsustainable subsidies for too long. And now we are broke. There is nothing happening today that pundits have not warned about for years.

What is the price of a litre of petrol or a kilowatt of electricity? Can a private investor supply these at below market price and somehow break even?

Reality has been dodged all this while but it remains undefeated

Even you know Peter obi was the lowest denominator of all the candidates - but your own argument is that you cannot reward apcs failures not that Peter obi was actually some sort of hyper competent administrattir with a proven track record and people skills

2 sure odd must enter


🤣🤣

[color=royalblue]You know he was lying.

But somehow he was going to perform..

So i can lie to you to invest in a business. You know i am lying and cannot deliver, but you will still give me your money, abi?[/color]

Lols..

The more u look the less u see........

Lamba but trusted...🤣🤣

raumdeuter:
I believe this

You are detached from reality ...so baba any of your take or belief is considered a joke or a cruise

larride:
Bosun dey burst my head tbh.

He easy to do cho cho cho before government appointment.

Do u believe his statement of Tinubu being the best president, (his youthful age)





Do think any Tinubu minister would criticise his style of governance

This accusation is loud o.

RealityKings:
This is private information and it's wrong putting it out here

Whar are u even saying


Na wao

I heard Wike is the person to address the Nation.

Is Tinubu dead...?

Them say... ORO scam Tinubu....

larride:
Hungry and angry.

The protest has been a long time coming. You can't blame people for taking to the streets to express their frustration.

I don't know why people are trying to make it seems the protest is all about "hatred"..


Today's protest irrespective of the Northern version didn't truly reveal the hunger/anger. In the land..

I don't know how tomorrow/subsequently will look like...


I hope it doesn't really escalate to the extent of my thinking cos endsars will just be a friendly match

airmark:
Some people won't even be happy if a bag becomes 10k.

You live in alternate universe bro..

You believe the protest is a "sign of hatred" but in reality we are hungry.....

OasisX:
......you guys keep hammering on FX like its all we need to beat down inflation. How much is a bag of Rice in Benin Republic?! Do you know Smugglers do pay more than ₦1m as bribe to clear a Trailer of Rice from Saki to Lagos?!

How do you expect them to recoup the money?! Simply by spreading it on the retail price. Even with CFA, Rice ain't as expensive as its being sold in Nigeria.

If you are interested in Rice business, I can link you up with a sure plug in Saki. You'll be supplied without collateral but you must pay back in 3 days.

Price of Rice will crash in few days times, mark this post. Maize and Wheats will be imported massively too.

What is the quoted price of "cost price"..


Is the rice stress-free (no stone and good)..

We are hammering on FX cos it defines our day to day biz ..its instability will always have a repulsive impact on any form of import

This is sad to watch.


Nigeria police is so uselex

OasisX:
.......Airmark and I were proffering solutions to hunger issue but guess what?! We were mocked.

After I suggested massive Importation of staple foods by the Government to complement opening of borders, my dear friend and brother izzou started gathering firewoods, lighted it and roasted me well well. Thanks Swiz123 and larride that comot me for fire, I for don turn ashes.

I also suggested separation and creating New Ministry for Foods Security, basically with sole objective - flood every nook and cranny of Nigeria with subsidized foods. Una no see this ó, na Oasis dey mock us una dey post upandan. LOL!

That was ur suggestion not heard or acknowledged by the FG.

Out problem now is survival.....and it is hinged on food.

I wish ur hypothesy is fact but in reality naira is more than 1600 vs d dollar...

Opening d border will achieve very little if we are purchasing with foreign currency.


Shockingly...I don't support protest but this one is beyond what can be swallowed just like d endsars saga.

The government didn't and still haven't started communicating even when the protest is at is initial stage...

Is this a parody..??

OasisX:
......let me first correct you, I never comdemn Protest rather suing for peaceful protest. The records are there on this board, Oasis no dey delete past posts - Ọlọhun má mú mi, torí tani àti tani níwájú tani. LOL!

Protest is our fundamental right but destruction of properties is not, and I have said it many times here. Few folks have answered your question but let me help you out with it one more time.

2027 is less down 3yrs, vote him out. Whether you protest from now till tomorrow, PBAT ain't ready to backdown. Kindly watch yesterday World Press Conference by his Cabinet Members. He believes he is on the right track to fix Nigeria, he acknowledges the hardship and promises prosperity is close.

If PBAT eventually fails, God forbids, I will humbly campaign aggressively against his re-election. He has this term to fix Nigeria and I still have confidence he can do it.

You have to understand that hunger protest can't be tamed.


You are threatening a very hungry/angry man instead if proper communication...

It is always going to be worse .

.


If this protest lingers....the opening ceremony might just be child's play

Seyilaw is spitting good.....

swiz123:
Like Larride said, the government needs to find a way to keep FX rate stable. Also, importers can only import just the quantity people are willing to buy, so demand controls importation.

For example, car importation dropped significantly because Nigerians can't afford Toks cars. But I believe with tax waivers granted on imported grains, we will have some hunger relief while the government works round the clock to fix other important economic issues.

The instability of the FX is actually d main prob we are facing ...

If FX is pegged at a given rate and d gov subsidised (if d rate is too high) then we have a convo.

Izzou n poor Me are talking about reality wch is the instability of d naira......

Opening the border now is as useless as Nigeria cos FX abracadabra will always have a say.....


But if PMS is returned to d default level b4 bubu came on board...things will normalise b4 u blink

donjazzet:
What do you mean usurp??
I said he should be the one taking charge and leading the protest.

HOW IS THAT WRONG??

The reason he can't is d scene will take a new definition..

swiz123:
Truly you don't understand economics. Which causes inflation faster? Higher exchange rate or scarcity? Let me give you a clearer picture.

Flour is imported and prices of bread has remained more or less stable over the course of 3 months despite foreign exchange movement.

Within the same time, prices of locally made staple food have doubled if not more. Example: Beans, Tomatoes, yam, potatoes, garri.

This is so because there is extremely low supply of those food items.

Without foreign rice competing with local rice, what do you think will happen to its price given that the price of other staple food has increased significantly? But then, there has been no sharp price movement in rice because its supply has been relatively stable.

Economics is not hard.

I am poor in economics too..

But this foreign rice will be bought with foreign currencies..

How do we ignore the naira stupidityy vs other currencies...?

iamoyindamola:
They do like they love us😂😂
They really do we can't just see it

Things are just going downwards


Each time i see Oasisx (respect) post of insulting optimism.....I am always disturbed...why is this guy doing this...why why and why...



I don't even know if I should beg him to stop or just being angry with it...

larride:
I'm reading reports that protesters don enter Kano Govt House?

Hunger protest will always be unpredictable.


Weda d gov supports or not...it is always going to be the same....



Baba ......maybe u never really understand the realities..I shed tears when one full grown adult come meet me almost knelt down for 5h some days ago.......

AirBere:
It's a common knowledge that's why I don't take them seriously. Werey thinks we're not aware of his theatrics Lmao. They're all in the same WhatsApp group and I call them airheads, led by a bonafide AirHead. 🤡 🤡 🤡

swiz123:
Opening of border could help us gain from those commodities in which we have comparative disadvantage, and as well as grant tax waivers on those adjudged to be necessary.

Our money is useless... We are still going to purchase bordered goods with foreign currency

He say today na introduction.

If it didn't dey, e didn't dey

Over 4 million Northern infants are at risk of hunger and starvation, growing by over 100% within a year, and this is the best Tinubu has to offer...subsistence farming.

I respect the work the man puts into crime, but in administration/state craft, he's dull, lazy and uninspiring.

How many weeks vegetables take dey mature like this?


Cos I no sure say e don rch one month, this woman begin plant

Obi already supported war in his speech few days ago in Anambra and I didn't come here to accuse him of dividing the country.

Nobody should arrogate any ferocious power to a jellyfish.
