The story is not complete

How did the police collect the 150k ?
Cash or transfer ?

What about statement from the driver that was arrested.?

Families need to review requirements for marrying their daughters to reflect this generation .
High and expensive requirements could discourage people from going in to marriage.
Some families behave as though they selling the daughter and forgetting that the groom automatically becomes a son inlaw
Let us reduce bride price requirements.

President Tinubu is taking Nigerian youth for granted and careless about their protest and demands.
A listening President that is calling for patience shouldn't announce any award of merit (GCON) on the senate president that has lost credibility and humanity but being a stooge .
There are many deserving Nigerians for such award but would never be recognised because they refused to be "rubber stamp"like the senate president .
We need a change .

Justice need not be delayed on this matter as it is glaring that the daycare failed in delivering its service
That daycare should be closed by now and I think the mother of the baby needs a psychological examination.
What is she looking for that made her took the little baby to a daycare.?
Parents should keep their babies till after 3 years before taking them to daycare.

We never suffer reach.
Come 2027, APC as a political party shouldn't be in government and any of the serving reps and senators who failed to caution and check the executive shouldn't be voted for again.

Rather than the government make Nigeria better, they are using opportunity of japa to exploit Nigerians who apply for Nigeria passport by increasing the price.
Bad government.

IPOB Members, Others Risk Jail Terms As Nigerian House of Reps Proposes 25-Year Imprisonment, N10Million Fine For Separatist Agitation



https://saharareporters.com/2024/08/13/ipob-members-others-risk-jail-terms-nigerian-house-reps-proposes-25-year-imprisonment

I wonder how this bill that is supposed to be dead on arrival passed first reading.

Rubber stamp legislators that are destroying this country..
They are just there saying aye or nay and collecting huge allowances.
They know that if Nigeri breaks, there will be no chance to loot and misgovern.

This is a blessing to Nigeria if the elites turn against themselves .
It is time to unravel the mystery in the oil sector (corruption)

Watch how Dangote will challenge them squarely.

MONEY247:
How do I apply and Can 100 levels student apply also

You can apply.
Go to Google

You don't need to tell us before naming them.
Go ahead if you are sure you know them.

Engrjamjam:
Obidients on the beat. Obidients are angry cause Obi lost election shamefully! They want to burn down Nigeria.

Obidients una go see anyhow, if una do anyhow.

It suit Kano Governor for supporting the protest

How much you dey get for dis your work .

Jflex07:
Lol. So they could reduce the price of rice all these while, but they refused, yet making Nigerians go through so much pain. Our politicians are really wicked and heartless. How does this even get to the common man? I don't trust these governors one bit.

The Nigerian government is not telling the whole truth.
Somebody is paying the difference in price and that is no other person but the government. That means government is subsidising the price for you to buy it at 40k.
Government is paying this subsidy with borrowed money and this will worsen Nigerian debt and the naira will fall or devalued further.
This can be done temporarily to douse the planned protest. It will bring a bugger problem in the nearest future.

Only calls are connecting. Social media is not working.
I hope they are not calling for violence in order to tag the protest violent.
President Tinubu, we beg you , please do the write thing and respect the people.

Starzdavid247:
I have also mistakenly transfer erroneous to a wrong opay account and my money was refunded by opay after a week later. Contact opay first,The opay account willbe place on lean and you willbe send indimity form to fill and summit, if the customer account hasn't make used of the funds, the money can be easily withraw from the account.

SensualMan:
Dangote needs to be taught a lesson in a language he understands.
Yoruba nor dey fear face, our Son be President!
Do anyhow see anyhow we nor dey look Uche face.
We must send Dangote packing,
Yoruba Allied movement(YAM)

You must be one of those that are easily bribed by those sabotaging the economy to appeal wrongly to tribal sentiment.
There is no organisation called YAM and I think you are not a Yoruba person .

You are trying to impersonate and give the Yoruba people bad name.

Change your ways.

RichBoy247:
Any group of idiots wey wan make Ogun drink their blood, make dem troop to the streets. Protests will be shot at sight with AK-47, survivors will be re-shot with AK-49. No single protester will be allowed to run away, if you run, you will be chased and sacrificed to the gods of Yoruba land including Ogun, Sango, Obatala, Osun, Aiyelala and Esu Odara

The protest is to let government know that Nigerians are reaching their elastic limit.
From your write up, it seems you are benefitting from the regime.
So many people are suffering and can hardly feed..

Look at how the dollar is rising from one government to another because of low productivity, too much borrowing, corruption, mismanagement , misplaced priorities ,cluelessness and too much disregard for the masses.

The politicians no longer represent the people but their pockets and their political parties.
The country is going down every day and the government is playing the ostrich.

Protest is part of democracy , hence government should not threaten the people with their power.

The government should not forget that the power they weild belongs to the people.

Protest is part of democracy and the people should not be suppressed.

PROTESTERS SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR CRIMINALS AND THIEVES THAT WILL INFILTRATE THE PROTEST FOR THE PURPOSE OF LOOTING AND DAMAGING PRIVATE PROPERTIES.

BlindAngel:
Good afternoon Nairalanders, my wife gave birth last week which was Saturday July 13th, that day was also my birthday, she gave birth through CS, this is our first child, and it's a boy.


This week Saturday is our baby's naming ceremony but my wife is insisting that her pastor must be the one officiate the naming the child, we've been disagreeing over this for some couple of days now,

she has called me all sorts of names, insulted me that I'm a very wicked man that I have no conscience, that after she pain and tearing she went through and still going through, I can't make this as a sacrifice for her, that I choose my family over her. She said so because my family also insist too that the naming must be done by our pastor.

But she's keying on the fact that she won't agree for the naming to be done in my church that it must be done by her pastor, she has cried and insulted me regarding this. Yesterday when we were arguing about this same particular issue she starting crying endlessly and calling me a wicked man.

I have finally agreed for her to use her pastor to do the naming, although I don't know her pastor and haven't seen him before, but I only agreed because of the CS operation she did while giving birth, her endless crying might affect her, if not there's absolutely no way possible I'd have agreed.

I must say that she doesn't know the repercussions of what sha has done by challenging my authority and always wanting to have her way with tears all the time. But time sha tell, I'm in so much rage right now, and I'm trying my possible best to control myself and not to loose my anger over this.

As a couple, you should worship together in one church and under same pastor and values
Where will your children worship? She will take them to her church and one day you will be thrown out of your own house.

We are in a very big problem.
How can a sane president order unused land in military barracks to be cultivated.

Is it the military that are supposed to go after bandit and insurgents that are to cultivate the land ?

Nigeria is not lacking land. We see wide expanse of uncultivated land everywhere.

Protect Nigeria farmers from bandit and insurgents and there will be food.

If Tinubu get 2027, it means Nigerians needs to suffer more. Their mumu never do.

The people he rely on are not advising well.

I think fish Brian is better than that of his followers

The man could have raised alarm so that the hotel manager can call the police. Afterall love making is not a crime.

Pierocash:
Benny Peters is not an Ijaw man oga

You just don't stop at saying " Benny Peters is not an Ijaw man" you say where he is from.

You should tell us if the guy has written waec again and passed genuinely, retook jamb and now 100L.

The end justifies the means
.

What about penance and what should he do in this circumstance ?

yyba:
Bitter Obidients please make sure you update and report back, how many cars are in TINUBU convoy .

This is not a Tinubu or APC thing. The president is our president whether you voted for him or you are Obidient.
Criticising the number of cars in his convor is as a result of the pains the people are passing through and hunger in the land.
A normal peasant thinking of how to feed and now see the affluence displayed by such long convor, would be angry as though the government care about themselves and less about the masses.
If I were Tinubu, I would reduce the number of cars in my convor.

Alternative to known tomatoes.
Even this Alternative will soon become expensive once people start to recognise it.

mrrandomguy:
These are not tomatoes, they are another fruit.

allah is a demon from hell and Muhammad is allah's prophet. JESUS IS LORD. Accept Jesus today

The topic is tomatoes and another fruit which is alternative to tomatoes.

Why do you digress and bring in religion, Muhammad, Allah Jesus and Lord ?

Why do you say Allah is a demon from hell ?

I am a Christian but I condemn that statement.

That statement can cause fight between Christian and Muslims.

Please refrain from using such statement .

egoldman:
So why telling Nigerians on may 29th last year that subsidy is gone?

100k minimum wage will still not commensurate with current cost of living.
We need better life and living wage.
Whatever the increase may be, landlords and landlady's, market women, private schools,
transporters restaurants and other sellers are waiting to cut from whatever salary that may be approved and at the end the worker would be worst economically.

How will the private school administrator get to pay the minimum wage without increasing the school fees.?
Nigeria is gradually becoming a cursed country as long as the legislators turn themselves to legislooters.

On petrol subsidy.

We can do better on this subsidy thing.
The question is : how do people in other countries that import petrol manage to drive cars ?
What is cost of electricity in other countries and vi a vis the salary structure in those countries ?
I think the government has failed the Nigerian people.

CORRUPTION CORRUPTION CORRUPTION.

Our government and judiciary are ridiculing Nigeria..
The laws in Nigeria are made for the poor.
What is the sin of Bibrisky or who did Bobrisky offend ?

Then look at EFCC, what impression are they portraying before the outside world.. "They want to settle out of court? "

I think this government is really continuing from were Buhari stopped in corrupt practices.

No hope for the common man in Nigeria.

EFCC is a shame.

PrinceofSarcasm:
While it is tempting to celebrate Nigeria's relatively low debt-to-GDP ratio of 41.3% as a testament to prudent financial management and economic stability, we must critically examine the broader context and avoid falling prey to government propaganda that often distracts from more significant issues. This pattern of overhyping modest achievements, unfortunately, obscures deeper systemic problems and reflects a troubling reliance on superficial metrics to paint an overly optimistic picture of economic health.

First, it's essential to understand that the debt-to-GDP ratio is just one of many indicators of a country's financial well-being. While a lower ratio can suggest economic stability, it does not automatically equate to overall economic prosperity or effective governance. For instance, Nigeria's external debt stood at a staggering $41.59 billion (N31.98 trillion) as of December 2023. Despite the favorable debt-to-GDP ratio, this figure represents a significant financial burden that the government often downplays.

Moreover, Nigeria's total debt is approximately N97.34 trillion, according to the Debt Management Office (DMO). This figure, when considered alongside other economic indicators such as inflation, unemployment, and poverty rates, paints a more comprehensive and less rosy picture of the country's economic health. Celebrating a low debt-to-GDP ratio without addressing these critical issues is misleading and fails to provide a complete understanding of Nigeria's economic challenges.

This tactic of highlighting mediocre achievements to distract from broader failures is not new. In the past, the government has celebrated minor improvements in literacy rates or the addition of a few kilometers of roads while ignoring the crumbling infrastructure and inadequate educational facilities. Such selective reporting serves as a distraction from the government's overall poor performance in critical areas that directly impact the quality of life of its citizens.

For instance, the government previously touted a slight increase in literacy rates as a significant achievement, despite the increase being a negligible 0.2%. Similarly, the addition of a few dozen kilometers of new roadways was heralded as a major success, even as the existing road network remained in disrepair, contributing to severe traffic congestion and hampering economic activities.

The celebration of Nigeria's debt-to-GDP ratio in isolation follows this familiar pattern. It is essential to hold the government accountable for providing a holistic view of the country's economic status rather than relying on selective statistics that offer a skewed perspective. While debt management is undoubtedly important, it must be seen in conjunction with other economic factors to provide a true picture of the nation's financial health.

While Nigeria's debt-to-GDP ratio may be commendable at face value, it is crucial to approach such figures with a critical eye and demand transparency and comprehensive reporting from the government. Only then can we move beyond propaganda and truly assess the country's economic standing and address the underlying issues that hinder sustainable development and prosperity.

Good analysis and I wish those supporting Tinubu and those supporting Obi blindly can learn to make educative analysis rather than being abusive.

These our leaders are taking us for granted and being very wasteful because they can always go to Abuja on monthly basis to collect money.
This is why they don't want us to practice true federalism where states have grater control of their resources.
Religion is a personal thing and the state need not spend our money to subsidise hadj.
Rubish.
