We take some harsh economic decisions....(I am about to say things that Nigerians do not like)...and that means raising our income via

1.Raising our poor tax to gdp ratio...which means some sort of way has to be found to bring in the 70% of Nigerians who as at 2019 were not paying tax to federal and state coffers

2.Removing subsidies...so that the oil industry can find money for new refineries, new pipelines even things like new trucks and suchlike...which means that government saves money, and the stealing stops in the name of subsidy. The power sector too needs removed subsides.

3.We need to find a way to diversify our economy...that is where things like mechanized farming, and stronger mining regulaitons come in....

4.We have to stop oil theft.


It's my solution, and Lord knows it means hardship, but the alternative? At best we can produce 2 -3m barrels of crude a day, oil prices fluctuate badly, meaning that when they are too low, we have to take loans, and the oil money is not enough for 200 million people...so we have to take more loans. AAnd...we still suffer.

Bro, people are suffering hard time, businesses are collapsing because bad implementation of policy and you're still talking of gdp growth and diversifying. People needs to survive first and likely be in better health before those things you mentioned can work.
No hungry man who can't feed his family will decide to get himself a water bed to sleep on.

PatEinstEin:
Why is everything in Nigeria “business as usual”?

No cash. Bank transactions are failing. And we are just going about our usual activities?

People trekk for kilometers to and from work. People can't even eat.

Why does a small group of people have it as a duty to make more than 200 million people suffer?

Are we going to continue like this?

Because we Nigerians are still playing partisan politics with our lives. We are just so carried away by the coming gubernatorial election that we don't think to see that we the general masses are the ones suffering and not the elites...
If we decide to block all cbn branches in Nigeria, including the headquarter in Abuja I feel the president or the cbn governor will come out to address the issue by making cash available for the suffering masses.
People are really suffering in this country, likewise people businesses are also collapsing on daily basis due to this ill redesign cashless policy.
Please, mod push topic like this to front page, all hands need to be on deck..

We have a very wicked and a useless government in place that don't know what economy is...
Businesses are collapsing on daily basis due to this ill policy taking by the president...
Whoever have close contact with the president should enlighten him on the danger lurking. Nigerians are really suffering and the so-called president pretends to be deafened....

TheMaterialist:
If Nigeria is like Gotham City where
Corruption and Crime are the Order of the Day.

Then Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the BATMAN.

You no serious....

LegacyB:

We Lagosians can say exactly same of you. Tinubu’s victory is sure. But I would advise southwest people to wake up. We accommodate you guys too much!

Accommodate who...did you think I based in Lagos...

LegacyB:

Your bigotry cannot even be hidden. When we use your same argument for you now story and victim mentality go resume. Because you give alms he mst return with votes. Just imagine !

Iwhy pretending to have pity for someone who will end up stabbing you at the back...
If I'm a bigotry then what we see and observe in Nigeria these days made me to be so...and no shakings if I b one...

EmekaBlue:
Its high time I will personally stop giving alms to all these almajiiris and northern beggars because I always give to them alot.

I can see how selfish and self centered they are.

Na you dey still give them sef... Me I have stopped given them a dime since 2015... Those people only think of themselves...

abduleez1:


Yep.... I'm also waiting. Didn't forget. 😏

I'm waiting for you to see the movie within a week or two so we can discuss it here, just to know who just don't talk but support cbm generally (through seeing them on the big screen) and not just waiting for a particular director's movie, because you always see those talking against James Gunn DC's project as those bitter snyder fans.

When you tend to make a star War movie from what ought to be a cbm the result will most likely be disastrous.... That's Ant-man and the Wasp: Quantumania for us.
4/10...
MCU have been (favourably) escaping the rotten scores for a very long time now. Thanks to some great and topnotch directors in Hollywood who have been calling their movies theme park ones - probably that might have forced those bias critics to review their movies fairly rather then trying to cover all their lapses with "fun, lighthearted and entertaining...
Kang doesn't even pose a proper threat to Ant-Man and his team let a alone the whole Avengers...a serious and an expensive joke...

Abduleez1, please don't forget our agreement o... I'm waiting. We talk and we also support financially even when it's not Snyder's cbm...

Barrywhyte1:


I think showing Zod is a great strategy as it gets more people hyped and they need as many people as possible to take the attention away from ezra

Yeah... But we all know he's definitely in the movie...
For me, I feel showing Faora-UI vs Kara would look more interesting.. Probably if they want to include General Zod in any of the trailer it should be him vs the entire squad, ready to do battle with.. Gen. Zod just looked too big for only Supergirl to go toe to toe with for me... But the trailer is still great!

How i wished instead of showing Gen. Zod they showed Faora-UI then kept General Zod for the movie itself...
Dope trailer anyways!!!

Shittaakeem:
Snyder fans una eye go clear las las
This is how to build a universe.
I knew James won't disappoint.

This is the problem...

Minemrys:

Why couldn't Cavill feature in Superman Legacy? I think something went terribly wrong behind the scenes.

I guess so...
Time will definitely unfold everything we need to know...

Great but not as the first one...
8/10

Lizzysamuel:


That's the only strategy they have.

With a very good turn out, Obi's vote in Lagos will cancel many northern votes.

Moreso, enlightened people are more in Lagos

The reality is; will Tinubu's foot soldiers ( boys) allow others to vote against him, especially for Obi... I don't think so...

Xavier5:


I ask again who directed "why is Gamora!?", Gunn?

Who made Hulk a sissy in Infinity War? Gunn?

Is it Gunn that is responsible for the ridiculous portrayals of Thor, Hulk, Wanda, Vision etc?

The two films directed by Gunn in the DCEU, do they contain such ridiculous portrayal of character(s)?

You haven't answered my question. If you don't have an answer, then don't reply me. If you know me by now, I don't do senseless arguments.

Drax just like the above mentioned characters and others, were the handiwork of Kevin Feige, period. All this noise you are making are just unnecessary if you ask me.



In other words, you do not have any reasons to back up your claims other than some delusional assumptions. That's amazing. You can continue with your delusion, it's your life, but fortunately, not everyone will reason that way.
If your assumptions even have the tiniest of truth in them, we would have started seeing them in TSS and Peacemaker, but fortunately for us and unfortunately for you, that's not the case. So once again, no facts, just delusional assumptions. Goodluck with your assumptions anyway.

But a little advise, to avoid sounding and appearing ridiculous, appeal to reasoning and wait for Gunn's plan to be implemented first before you start your criticisms, okay.

#Xavier
#DCian

Keep putting the blames on Feige, go on...
It's very visible to anyone who decides not to be sentimental that his two movies with DC apparently mirror exactly most of MCU's movies.
I bet you, people who can not differentiate DC from MCU would think his TSS and PM are in MCU's universe. The similarities are just too over the place... Cranky and silly jokes...
Henceforth, directors should not be blamed if the movie they direct fails I guess...

Xavier5:


Who directed "Why Is Gamora?" again?

Drax just like Vision, Hulk, Thor, Wanda etc weren't the directors' faults, rather Kevin Feige. It was Kevin that made those characters to be portrayed in such ridiculous manner.

Amazingly, the two films Gunn has handled in the DCEU despite being comic, were devoid of such ridiculous portrayal of characters. So to me this your Gunn hate or criticism is just useless, senseless and ridiculous all at once

It is stupidity to me to start criticizing Gunn when he hasn't even implemented his DCEU plan yet. It's like criticising an architect when you haven't seen his architectural plan. What's the rationality in that?


#Xavier
#DCian

Two-sided people at their peak.
When it's the directors they like then it's the exec's fault, but when it's from the ones they don't like then it's the directors' fault, yet we can easily distinguish the Russo's brothers MCU movies
So Feige told him to make Drax ok in the first GotG then also told him to make Drax a clown as it goes...
Don't worry, we are getting there with the new SS characters (if they keep them). The signs are all over the places that the majority of those characters will turn clowns as the story progresses... It's not about being sentimental, it's just the honest truth...
There is something that those who have followed movies for a very long time can easily spot in directors or actors even before their movie comes out...

"And I just don’t know if I want Drax to be my legacy — it’s a silly performance, and I want to do more dramatic stuff," - Dave Bautista

I said this some time ago that Drax might come out too to talk about the silly way James Gunn and MCU keep portraying Drax, but few people opposed it, now I think we can all see clearly...
The above is entirely what that guy will most likely bring to DC...
God abeg o!!!

abduleez1:


I remember Snyder having to deal [b]with some fans making mockery [/b]of his child's death and I abhor such behaviour. I don't remember large numbers of people issuing death threats.

I like you, cause when it's Snyder it's "some fans making mockery", nothing like toxic fans or them being the very first toxic ones. In fact, they are the ones responsible for the main division we have in DCEU to date...

abduleez1:


I put my money bruh. And don't shït on other people's work when it doesn't suit your pretentious elitist taste.
Well it's cultists behaviour when you issue death threats, wish someone dead and hope his projects fails just because of a movie franchise.
Don't blame me if I say it as it is and don't mince words.
Yeah, just like you support Cathy Yan, David F Samberg or Patty Jenkins you ppl appropriate her win to another director.
Yaay!!!

And will you just shut the fvvk up if I say challenge accepted, noisemaker.

I now know you truly have short memories, I was even overrating you I swear..
You talked about death threats when actually Snyder received more than that during his child's death... Are you not normal to remember such before bringing up issues of threats...or you have forgotten that Snyder was actually the first victim of this DCEU toxic fans attacks...
Accepted without any hesitation...

abduleez1:


The only DC exec I've openly supported was Walter Hamada to an extent.
You just go from one dumb lie to another in your desperation.

Jumping from directors? Lol, that's cos I'll support anything as far it's DC, not crying tears before anything comes out.
I praised the characters included in it like Dr Fate & Hawkman not the actual movie that finally came out. Your BA accent narrative was challenged cos it wasn't a big deal and we haven't seen such in live action and no one was expecting The Rock to go that far. We've seen his acting range. He wasn't an actor to give you that. If you'd complained about his lack of pointy ears or hair, just maybe.

You talk as if something can't sound great in early development and then the delivery fall down flat. Most of your talks just lack context, just emotional ramblings.
Anyways tho, trolling cultists who think themselves as TRUE fans is one great way to unwind tho.
I very much remember it was peeps like you that wil disparage anything not Snyder-like that made me started taking jibes at his films. Not that I hate his movies per se or have issue with the man himself.


Dude, I've got nothing to prove to you. If you want biggest fan of the year award, you're free. True DC fan. I don't need a challenge to go see movies I want to.

Then try to put your money where your mouth is, and stop shitting on other people's works when they didn't suit your cocky taste...
You used the word "cultist" on a particular fanbase but you're even acting like the real cultist honestly... I disparage anything anti-Snyder but I have been supporting David Ayers (the one you partly put the blame on for Gunn TSS bombing), James Wan, Matt Reeves and even the BA director despite criticizing some poor individual work from Dwayne Johnson during the first trailer...
I was hoping you will take up the challenge, but no, I know your type...keyboard warrior

abduleez1:


Lmao... Who praised Geoff Johns leadership??
Seems you mistaking me for someone else. No wonder you've been capping shït all these months.

So now you pulling facts from your @ss? I challenge you to bring receipts of me praising Geoff.

Your attempts at masking your saltiness no dey move me. Professorial Agba Watcher.

Go back to your own posts and see how you kept jumping from directors and execs to another as long as their narratives pushed out anything Snyder. Even the BA you are crucifying today you once praised it like the second coming of Christ. I can still recall how I criticized The Rock for not putting enough work in order for him to actually have the Black Adam real accent, but you thought otherwise. I guess your memories are very short...

Nevertheless, I still wan remind you to still go on the challenge to really know who's waiting for downloads or who's going to the cinema to support the DC between you and me... Trust me, if you're bringing up that crap about "my schedule is tight" then mine is extremely compounded but I still squeeze out time to see movies.

abduleez1:


Keep crying... Your tears is sweet.
So you failed to see where I said the week I designated to go watch it was when WB surprisingly dropped it on VOD.

Continue choosing what you read and understand. When your logic is used against you na tears, gnashing of teeth and goalpost shifting. Hilarious.

Anyways, this tears will be very much needed next year. Make e no finish. TRUE DC Fan.

you will still shift the goalpost when your god starts misfiring.. Just like how you worshipped Geoff Johns and the former WB execs despite their cluelessness.
Some of us tastes are not salty so we don't fall for that stupid propagandas you do. We have been seeing movies for more than 25yrs with critically thinking, not now we will brainwashed to think that cbm need to be done in one way...

abduleez1:


LMFAO... Guy quit the crap you're talking about and labelling yourself as a true fan and choosing who's a fan or not.
You just dey cry MCU fan since.

If you like shout James Gunn TSS bomb 1 million times e no concern me. If Zack Snyder or anyone direct a DC film, I'll surely watch and support. Not you whining about movies you haven't seen or watched a single trailer of.

If critics praise a film or not doesn't determine if I'll watch or not. If I really want to I'd watch nonetheless.

Black Adam wasn't on my priority list at time of release and I'd have watched it anyway, it just became available to watch digitally just when I was about to go see it. I watched The Batman in its first week. https://www.nairaland.com/1549406/what-movie-watching-now/2918#110915308

So dead all this your "true fan" MCU fan gimmicks. No me be say make you dey bitter.

It's as if you choose what you read and understand, it's funny.

A DC fan that chooses what DC movie he will see in the theatre, but finds it comfortable to label other DC movie(s) calamity..lol
I bet you don't even know what is calamity cause if you do you won't be using such word on movie like the 2016 Suicide Squad movie.
Be like you and your James Gunn that enjoys tweeting about rape will tell us what is success when it comes to movies
Imagine if Snyder or Ayer's movie did this $180m to $360m box office numbers these days....people like you will become a town crier overnight

abduleez1:


LMFAO, bro maybe that's you. Ain't me. I watched The Batman in theatres. Would have watched Black Adam too but I wasn't so moved by it not after the shite I heard and it was a busy month for me. The week I wanted to go watch it in cinema that's when WB surprisingly dropped it on VOD.

Dey there dey cry. So now you know practically unknown characters. I thought you said everyone was used to CBM characters na since we all consume Comics and watched the cartoon programs.


Yea, only problem is Watchmen wasn't released as a hybrid streaming platform. The DC label was pretty much still strong then so far the movie was good. That decade was the start of the turning point of CBMs. We had Iron Man and The Dark Knight(1st comic book billion $ grosser) the previous year. Also forgot to add that movies had very long theatrical lifespan then. A movie could show in theatres for over 6 months then. That's impossible right now.
The calamity that was Suicide Squad in 2016 definitely also had a role in audiences perception.

Anyways, keep shifting goalposts as usual and shedding tears. "MCU fan turned DC fan" is that a jibe? You can do better bro.
Coming from a fan who blindly follows a single man. Now claiming to be a TRUE fan.
Irony at its PEAK.

Yes, I make use of the words "unknown characters" because then cbm was not having a major share of people's interest when it comes to movies, unlike when GotG was released.
It shows your mindset is being driven by what people ( critics) say about movie that's you could not go out to see BA and that's a typical mindset of those MCU fans who disguises themselves as DC fans wanting everything to be like the MCU.
If you claim to be a true fan and not a James Gunn fan then you should do your work as a DC fan to support all their movies by going to the theatre to see them.
Your James Gunn TSS bombed and it bombed hard, not soft.
I'm a core DC fan, and if any situation arises where I should choose between Synder and Gunn, my brother, I will choose Snyder 100 times over Gunn. No this and no peace.
If you claim to be seeing DC movies in theatre then I will challenge you that we both discuss (in detail) any DC movie release in its 1st week so we know if truly you're one or you just wait for those pirated sites to upload and come here to say what you don't really support..
The calamity of the 2016 Suicide Squad, which got a lofty returns compared to your messiah's TSS, you see the reason why I should label guys like you MCU fans. I should even be calling you the toxic one, just like your Gunn that enjoyed tweeting rubbish about rape...
You don't see anything good about DC movies that it's not almost MCU-like.

abduleez1:



Yeah, we suffering from the same delusion of grandeur fans had when Snyder came in despite delivering an ULTIMATE FLOP in Watchmen 2009— his first DC movie. Didn't stop WB from giving him the reins to DCs priced assets.

E be like say na get selective amnesia dey forget say no be MOS dude take start with DC.

Make na rest cos this na tears is becoming shameless. Let the man fail first then you can have your "I told you so" moment. Not this blatant hate.
As your hopes are... If he fails in his first few films, trust WB to can him and bring someone else, right?

If they bring another person in next year January, I'd still support cos I'm a true DC fan and don't care for the man at the top or who's portraying which characters. New persons are gonna show up and bring their spin to the franchise as it has been done since time immemorial. So, it's left for you to be positive or remain bitter for what could have been instead of looking to the future.

Merry Christmas to you.

True DC fan that often waits for pirated sites to upload before he can see DC movies...

I think you are the one suffering from this cause if not you won't bring up movie of 13yrs ago that as at then cbm had not really peaked and with practically unknown characters that ended up having better box office numbers (both budget and box office wise) to your lord and saviour movie TSS of 2021 (even despite covid-19) when cbm is at full peak..

Raalsalghul:


The way folks on this thread assume that Gunn's DC universe will be successful.

Na just two flops and everywhere go bust.

Baba, my name is now siddon and look..
As a DC fan I will still go out to see the movies, but I know for sure that the light at the end of the tunnel is not that bright like the overrated new DC universe MCU fans turned DC fans are over saying it...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL HERE AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE!!!

BlackManta:


We will know how divided the fanbase truly is when DCU films start hitting theaters in 2025.

I will revisit this discussion again when the new Superman reboot makes more money than Man Of Steel.

Just like how the almighty James Gunn's TSS made more money than David Ayers' one despite being almost 6yrs apart...

Note: I hope all his DC movies going forward will be critically acclaimed and financially successful by the time we start seeing his new take because the bedrock of all this his delusion of grandeur is/was because people (including him) think the old movies are not successful both critically and financially....
We dey wait to see wetin d master dey cook for us...

TonySpike:


He needs the fans for his new universe to succeed and survive. The fans, on the hand, don't need him to survive. He should stop dividing the fanbase.

You just hit the nail on the head perfectly...
You know one funny thing James Gunn fanatics are not realizing is that; he keeps engaging (bantering) with bitter fans on social media any little time he has and his fans are applauding him for the banters... I hope in the future they will remember these days when the bitter fans start getting the better of him, let nobody cry foul that they are toxics - cause he's actually the genesis of his own undoing...
Gunn will even divide the DC fan base more than ever by the time he's done. Maybe those disguised MCU fans parading as DC fans will come to his aid...

Minemrys:

Dude, get your facts straight. Snyder addressed the terrorist wasn't killed. Before the hearing, Senator Finch realized nobody died at the hands of Superman. Not even the warlord.
Even Clark told Lois "I killed nobody if that's what they are saying"
He never threatened Batman's life, he could have taken him to the authorities and outed him, and he could have done that as Clark Kent.
Superman was very much conflicted in Dawn of Justice. He and Lois weren't even sure what he was doing. He even travelled to Smallville, called his mother and part of it was trauma over killing Zod. It wasn't spoken out but was shown.
In the desert, Jonathan told him the story about the cows who got flooded while he ate his hero cake. It was part of his actions in MOS that brought about his psychological issues leading to his exile.

A lot were cut from BVS, and Snyder did say they were going to explain the black zero event which they did. You want to nitpick, fine but dude, what exactly do you want?

Superman returns, fans had problems with it because of the lack of action. You think if a light-hearted Richard Donner Superman film came out, it will be perfect in this age?

Man of Steel was meant to represent the modern times and Superman in it. It wasn't perfect, Snyder films aren't but before you go hating on the guy, just understand what he wanted to do.

Of course, James Gunn Superman may be the best film since The Dark Knight or Infinity War, but there's also a chance it might end up divisive.

These Snyder fans crap, you all are saying, I hope you do know some non Snyder fans are in bashing the DC films. So before you go on vilifying a group of people, know there are those who love his works and don't go hating on others.

Just hope the reboot goes well than trying to fuel the hate. Else if Gunn ends up in similar boat, you will have a lot of I told you so camps.

The Snyder vision is dead, let's bury it and stop hating or quoting some idiots to stir up hate.

I think Some of the guys here need to go to place like quora to learn from guys who know this characters more, and not just thinking that Christopher Reeves' Superman is the only and best way to portray the Boy scout....
