Agbegbaorogboye: My brother, you should say the above when Buhari leaves office. Then we'll discuss. We already saw how Jonathan reduced it to 2bn. The agricultural reform is already yielding results. As for the price of rice, this was due to the closure of border, thereby boosting our our own product, which is an excellently idea. Currently, more and more people are venturing into the lucrative rice farming, which will soon lead to positive results, as supply becomes surplus. Once supply becomes higher than demand, Nigeria will begin exporting rice, rather than importing. This is a great development, unless you don't want our economy to grow. What we need now is large scale production. Once these farmers make more money, they'll purchase machines that will foster large scale production. Government is also helping them with grants and low-interest loans, which has been helpful. But Rome was not built a day. Regarding infrastructure, even the worst critic of Buhari knows he's doing absolutely well. God bless you. |

Agbegbaorogboye: My brother, it doesn't work that way. You cannot just wake up and demand the resignation of the president, simply because you don't like him. Millions of people who voted him are okay, so the minority can do nothing but wait for his tenure to elapse. As for the secessionists, let them follow the right channel if they want to secede. As far as the world knows, the people are protesting against police brutality. Regarding fraud, I have replied to that already, even corrected you that Buhari wasn't saying there wasn't subsidy, but complaining about the fraud. I don't know if you missed that post. Savings of the subsidy savings? LOL.. Is the money missing? Regarding the Excess Crude Account, let me repost My brother, due to the biting economy, President Mohammadu Buhari had to bailout states government, due to their inability to pay salaries. President Mohammadu Buhari, being the masses president, will never sit and watch people go hungry due to their governors inability to pay salaries. So, he had to. The bailout was necessary. Note that this happened in the time of scarcity. Meanwhile, Goodluck Jonathan met $20 billion, and in a period the country witnessed her most prosperous seasons.. Yet, they squandered $18bn, depleted the treasury pulse and left a meager $2.1bn for President Mohammadu Buhari. And now, you guys want President Buhari to turn Nigeria to Dubai overnight? My brother, make we fear God.. President Mohammadu Buhari has done a lot in agriculture, infrastructure, see the quality work going on across the federation, support of micro, small and medium enterprises, and others.. It shows he's there to work. It shows he's committed. How I wish President Buhari was the president when oil was trading around 90 to 100 USD.. I ready for you, my brother |

Agbegbaorogboye: My brother, your explanation is "one of the meanings" of relative POVERTY.. There are other meanings to it... Relative Poverty also means, receiving, for instance, 50% less than average, which means, though can afford the basics, but not having enough money to afford things ABOVE THE BASICS.. In other words, IT'S NOT A MUST you leave your country or state or town to be relatively poor. As long as majority of the people around you live better than you do, even if you can afford the basics, you are relatively poor, compared to those people. You can be born in Lagos, raised in Lagos and still be relatively poor. You can be living in Jigawa all your life and still be relatively poor, as long as more people earn higher than you do. You don't have to go to Lagos to be relative poor. But once you are unable to afford the basics, you are extremely poor. And all of them are poor. The only difference being that a relatively poor person can afford the basics, which is the minimum.

Agbegbaorogboye: My brother, asking the president to resign, out of hatred, chanting revolution and secession are all opportunists voices. By the way, why are they calling for his resignation when the protest is about #ENDSARS, which the president looked into? Does it make any sense? How many of them voted him? Why use #EndSars as a front? Regarding subsidy, My brother, like I said, stop misquoting the president. President Mohammadu Buhari wasn't actually against the subsidy, but the enormous fraud perpetrated. He didn't mean subsidy itself waa a fraud, but that it was used to siphon huge amounts of money, which was later proved right. He even protested the removal. First, due to the plight of the people, and second, the destination of the funds earmarked for subsidy, was questioned. Especially as things were being done in secrecy and the latest massive corruption scandal, tied to the subsidy. They argued that it's better to continue with the subsidy than divert it to unknown "places".. Even till now, President Mohammadu Buhari is against the removal. But as the reality of the economy and national debt becomes bolder, the president was left with no option but to succumb to pressure. No dollar to sustain the bill, and so on.. |

Agbegbaorogboye: My brother, you are the one confusing yourself, not me, biko.. I told you the screenshot is from BBC. And "absolute poverty" being "outdated" is from NBS, not me.. It doesn't mean there's no extreme poverty.. Which is political.. Countries, especially developing countries, disagreeing with the world bank's $1.90 earnings-per-day benchmark. However, Nigeria's case is far below that $1.90.. It's currently at $ 0.98, which has sparked controversies. According to the World Bank, if you're living on $1.90 a day or less, you're living in extreme poverty. Note that $1.90 is the benchmark, just like $0.98 is the benchmark for Nigeria, yet they are still considered to be living in extreme poverty. (See screenshot) Also, just like I said, you can still be living above this benchmark and still be living in poverty, according to world bank(screenshot attached).. Now this is CONTRARY to your claim that ABOVE the benchmark means above poverty, that's fallacy! That aside, you can't argue that people living on 380 naira per day are not poor just because they are not below 380 naira. Doesn't make sense.

Agbegbaorogboye: My brother, you go attack tire, lol.. I consider those ones calling for revolution, secession, and those calling for Buhari's resignation, as opportunists. They have hijacked the protest to further their own selfish and anti-national interests. These elements are big opportunists, my brother. I will never support anyone whose purpose is to cause chaos for Nigeria. Also, my brother, please stop misquoting President Buhari. What President Buhari was against, if you follow his talks, is the extreme corruption going on through the subsidy. Right from 2012, President Mohammadu Buhari has been calling out the PDP for the fraud. And he was subsequently proven right, after the "endemic corruption" was exposed.. But too bad, some people decided to spin it.. Nigeria must better |

Agbegbaorogboye:
My brother, in other words, all major Nigerian newspapers, international newspapers, including CNN, and the world bank website and I are all suffering from English deficiency, and you are the ONLY ONE VAST IN IT.. Jamb approved 160 as cutoff mark. Now the total score is 400.. If you score below 160, you have failed completely, extremely poor.. If you score 160, you still failed, however, you are within the cutoff range.. But most universities will reject you. Even if you score 180, previous cutoff, you are still below average, even though you are above the cutoff mark. Average is 200 mark.. Similarly, the NBS poverty and inequality stats, is on POVERTY, strictly.. There are upper and lower level poverty lines.. Annual lower line is 124,948.. Annual upper line is 137,430.. The CUTOFF MARK is 137,430 in the POVERTY scale.. According to NBS, the National Poverty Line is N137,430 or $361 per person, per annum, which translates to $ 0.98 or around 373 naira per day.. My friend, tell us something.. People on 380 naira per day are averagely rich to you? Note that this is the POVERTY LINE.. The 40.1% are BELOW THIS LINE.. Meaning, they live on less than 380 naira per day, which is absolutely poor.. It doesn't mean people living on 380, 390, 400, 450, 500, etc are averagely rich. They are still poor. Just that they are on the upper poverty line.. |

Agbegbaorogboye: My other account was hit by spambot. My brother, you are clearly confusing yourself here, LOL.. That is BBC screenshot, and it used "absolute" to refer to poverty below the upper line.. You google it.. Look well before you reply.. NBS said "The absolute poverty line for Nigeria was previously calculated in 2004 but has now become outdated" Stat blessed |

Agbegbaorogboye: Sorry, my main account was banned by the bot for posting link to the Reuters article. Actually, Buhari was right. What Buhari was alluding to was the lack of transparency, fraud, etc. The amount stolen almost rivaled the subsidy itself that the removal would have been better. Though I admit he exaggerated a bit, that's Politics. He's a politician. Politicians use hyperbole as a tool, it's necessary in politics. According to findings by Reuters, Buhari was proven right.
Inciting the people? That he protested the fraud doesn't mean he incited anyone. See how Buhari is being systematic in the removal, several relevant bills in place. Compared to PDP's abrupt approach. |
