They should have revived that refinery before removing subsidy. Refinery that has swallowed trillions of naira with slow pace of work progress. At least the inflation could have been reduced.

Logic: if PHRC is ready before sangote Refinery, dangote will be a price taker for his products. But if dangote refinery resumes first, then he fixes the price. And the price will not come down even with PHRC coming up.

When I say these always sit on a round table and ensure everything Benefits them, they will say I hate politicians.

Now the damage has been caused already. Inflation has happened already, prices of commodities will not come down again. They should just increase minimum wage and let everyone including the stupid apc worshippers find ways to survive

Dangote can't fix any price. First all, there are up to 25 companies with or to be granted import licenses - his price must fall below theirs. Secondly, he can't dictate to any other supplier how to price theirs, certainly not to government.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Lol why Nigerians no abuse or insult am na?

Once again because "he is my tribe" "he is my religion" so we no go troll am. 🤣😂

The other one called opposition wild dogs on newspaper as a columnist. Though campaigns and elections are over, so we pardon him. And the man is also very brilliant.

Why should they? Is the Nigerian government Tinubu's personal property? Why should any Nigerian refuse to serve the peiple just because they may not have agreed with Tinubu's approach?

EKONGKING:
Tinubu erred big time on Niger issue and Nigeria has been caught between its tail.

All the Islamic countries are coming on side of Niger and if war breakouts, expect Northern Nigeria also to support Niger.

You dont understand the issues. Has absolutely nothing to do with religion. It is about the state of relationships between those countries and France.

3 of the countries listed there are led by coupists who have to protect Niger in order to protect themselves.

Senegal is the most powerful muslim west african nation and they are opposing.

SmartPolician:
You want to grill someone without knowing the ministerial position he is coming to occupy. Is it not when you know the position someone was appointed for before you assess his suitability? We are not serious in this country.

Only the president can determine who is fit for a particular positoon because he, not the NA, takes responsibilty for their success or failure.

Appearing before NA is more like a ceremonial event.

Meanwhile i doubt the authenticity of this update because the restrictions are actually written into the Student Loan Act - to remove them would require the National Assembly to amend thay Act.

EconomistXplain:
i dont see anything wrong in exemption drugs nd fraud convict from students loan....

he is making a mistake....

Na. So if a young person makes a mistake they should be shut out of society? Then what do you expect of them but to return to the same drugs and fraud?

While it is important to reiterate that President Tinubu has directed release of over 200,000 Metric Tonnes of grains to families in 36 states and Federal Capital Territory, Abuja

Some people among us may want to argue that this provision means 200k for the 36 states and another 200k for the FCT. Abi?

Funny how everyone instictively understands the use of and in this context but suddenly dont understand it in the electoral context.

Interesting country!

baralatie:
Nigeria and Nigerian has a security pact in the war against bokoharam and insurgency.
Therefore it does not play well for Nigeria to involve itself in an issue of change of govt within Niger.
Nigeria can only act on the platform of diplomacy to see that ECOWAS security is not vompromised

Another way to look at it is that based on the existing security arrangements, Nigeria should prefer continuity with the older government that we have a relationship with, and should act to restore that government.

baralatie:
So if nige now decides to use Russia as an excuse to spite France
Should Nigeria get involved?

There are pros and cons. Preferably we ought to stay neutral from my perspective but dont forget that Niger has a relationship with Nigeria already and being allies we have to take a stand on fundamental issues.

We should get involved if there is any assessment that the absence of Western powers in the region will destabilize our own security and economic interests.

baralatie:
Is it this Niger coup plotters are openingly pitch France against Russia

So you think Russia is boy boy that you just call and they run and do your dirty work? They invest according to their interests. Niger is a pawn compared to the entire AU.

izubext007:
the US should respect the stand of the AU which is more bigger than the ECOWAS

So you don't know that the AU has also condemned the coup plotters?

thisisit:
US is behind Ecowas.
Russia is behind Niger Republic.
France is the referee.
Battle theatre is co-hosted by Nigeria and Niger.

Let's the battle begin!!!

See all this blood thirsty children.

There will be absolutely no war.

The US, France, AU and ECOWAS are too powerful for any potential rival including Russia. Besides, Russia is trying to Court the powerful African countries - they will never take sides with Niger against the AU. NEVER.

BoldBrainz:
The North East has been under seige by terrorists and insurgents who have camps in various forests. It is understandable if the airforce puts up a strong showing over there.

There is nothing happening in the South East to warrant the intervention of the Airforce. The police can comfortably handle the challenges, it they possess the will and requisite government directives.

Wait - is it now a bad thing to have the airforce protecting you?

Whether the police can handle it or not, can't they do better with the support of the airforce?

Besides, I'm yet to learn of a single instance of insurgency that has been effectively handled by the police in the entire history of Nigeria. Do you know of any?

BoldBrainz:
Some of you just talk carelessly.

Why should tucano fighter jets be flying around civilian airspace when the country is not at war or in a state of emergency?

How many of the said jets have hovered in the North East civilian airspace through the over 10years of terrorism and insurgency that have plagued the region?

What are you saying? in the North East and North West the airforce is extremely active. You are talking about Tucanos meanwhile much more sophisticated aircraft are being used daily in that theatre.

Again and again, the Courts come to the rescue of the common man. Yet, if one or two high profile cases don't go the way we want, the next thing you will hear is a rain of curses on the judiciary.

Revolution2022:
Why is Tinubu bent on finding fault in emiefele? What about the minister of petroleum,the humanitarian minister and the former attorney general,malami?

The write-up clearly says to investigate and report on ALL private or public persons or entities with corrupt access to Nigeria's wealth.

The words in the headline of this post are nowhere to be found in the body of text presented here.


Where did the senate make any reference to Utomi's "dead case"?

SmartPolician:
That's an unfair comparison. During the death of the Queen, there were guests from all over the world coming to the UK. In the picture above, Putin invited a few African leaders to a meeting in Moscow.

Besides, the UK is a country that takes strict steps to manage their resources, unlike broke African countries living an extravagant lifestyle. When Boris Johnson was the British PM, he often travelled in the economy class of British Airways, but a broke Nigerian president always flies a NAF jet anywhere he goes.

The post is comparing Russia and the UK not the UK and African countries.

Orubebe01:
After you people has helped in bringing this calamity upon us and you want to japa to a better country? Kole work o

Without even knowing the identity of the person involved, you just had to make this comment. Meanwhile, Obidients are the major japaree constituency, not so?

Penguin2:
But must Tinubu appoint people with question marks?

If he appoints someone without a baggage will he die?

What is the difference between what this man is accused of and what Datti Ahmed was actually found guilty of and unceremoniously given a kick to the backside for?

Forgotten the man is a convicted election rigger?

Eschew hypocrisy.

I've been telling my friends the tech bubble will soon burst and its already evident - nowadays you can come across jobs for developers with pay as low as 100k ...unthinkable 3 years ago.

FreeStuffsNG:
Methink it is actually a frantic face-saving diplomatic call by US and the west to reach out to strategic African leaders who were not physically present at the Russia-Africa summit currently holding in Russia. That summit is giving the west chills and they are throwing everything including the kitchen sink at it to undermine Russia. That Nigeria, SA were there is a huge concern to them.

In my opinion, the Niger issue is not particularly their concern, that's French fries because they are very far from Niger Nigeria remains the most strategic ally to both sides yet Nigeria is not alligned to either side. PBAT has stated that Africa will be the centre of his international diplomacy. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Nigeria is heavily West-aligned but also open to the East.

We're among the few African countries outrightly against the war in Ukraine.

OP nice one..but fiction

tochman:
But we actually do have ports in other parts of the country that are not working to maximum capacity. I believe the govt can help make laws that can encourage such ports. Instead of creating more congestion in Badagry axis, let's try to decongest Lagos and the terrible traffic.

Laws like what?

You mean the government should dictate to business persons where and how to move their goods?

ViceGovernor:
Wonderful.
So who killed the 103 people the Lasg wants to bury after 3 years sir

I don't know who killed them.

Lagos state government says the bodies were not from the toll gate and that rather, they were from incidents that occurred around the state that day.

That suggest that they were killed by the thugs who took over the protest, and possibly by police too.

ViceGovernor:
You still dodged my question sir the bodies that are awaiting mass burial are they from the shooting or not?
If yes that invalidates all their false claims...
They said they were not there at all lie 1
They said they shot in the air lie 2
They said they used rubber bullets lie 3
They said nobody died lie 4.

Now why on God's green earth should anyone believe the serial liars anyone that believes them is more stupid than the ridiculous lies they have been dishing out.

I'm trying to find out what exactly your argument is sir I still can't wrap my head around it... something tells me you are a military man so it is expected of you to defend your co-workers. I may be wrong tho.

I am amazed you are talking about logic while completely ignoring the crux of the matter which is the obvious lies of the military.

I will ask you again sir for clarity sake.
Did the military kill protesters or not? A simple yes or no would suffice 👌🏾

I didn't see your question. Of course the military did not kill any protesters.

ViceGovernor:
I don't know where you got that from but I read from verifiable sources that post verified news.
Stop reading news from squawka.

What about people that recorded the shooting live? Abi those ones too dey lie?

Don't assume everyone is like you.

As for those live streamers, they didn't lie but they are ignorant. BBC were on ground - CNN were not. Now BBC clearly said they witnessed the start of the shootings but they didn't see any killings. Becasue the military were shooting blanks.

The average Nigerian doesn't have the first idea what blanks are so of course when they see military men shooting at them, they used they were being shot at with live bullets whereas that would make no sense. The same live streams said they approached the military to ask them why they were shooting at them and according to them the soldiers replied that it was an order from above.

Sir, have you ever seen people casually walking up to soldiers who are supposedly already shooting at you? So the bullets didn't enter them as they were walking up to the soldiers? So the soldiers stopped shooting long enough to sit around and chat with them then resumed after they left?

We need to be logical.

ViceGovernor:
Everybody knows the NA are serial lions...the same people that murdered protesters and denied ever being there until US dropped satellite images.
Then they switched the lies.

If they are coming out to deny this arrest so quick then it is true

But the same US said the military did not kill anyone but you people still insist. Why?

Negligible

MrSundry:
Flagrant disregard for the rule of law and court orders in Nigeria is so appalling. This is not a banana republic!!

Well I agree with you this is heavy-handed - but its actually not against the rule of law. This is because Nigerian law allows law enforcement to rearrest you provided it is on different charges.

loosecanon50:
They can't do Emefiele anything. If he ever goes down, lots of head will fall alongside him.

..this is because he did lots of jobs for the dirtiest of the dirty politicians we have in Nigeria today. Buhari tops the list.

In politics there are untouchables and there are scapegoats. That is why Jonathan is a free man writing books and imagining himself to be a hero of democracy, but Diezani Amduke dare not as much as google Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

CuriousCart:
The goal is to take custody of Emefiele.
Take an IQ test.

I was commenting in jest obviously Why so snarky? lol.

In any case, if the correctional services have been physically overpowered it is obvious who has him now. Not so mister iq test? lol.
