“What message are Lagos indigenes sending?

Because every political watcher would agree that before now, no traditional ruler in Lagos would dare openly bestow a title on an opposition figure.”

"Unremarkable". You rate yourself so high to tell people what is remarkable or not.
I have seen you don't understand the meaning of "may have". It is not every statement that you must respond to especially with an offensive tune.
Even if any meeting was held or not held, you wouldn't know, you can't claim with authority to have known until you're informed. All that is enough for now is just speculation.
Here is your mistake, my information is not based on speculation, I read foreign magazine and online newspapers.

My mistake is assuming you read anything other than what is posted on nairaland, Because if you did, you wouldn't
have assumed such a ridiculous notion.

And for the record I rate myself high, and I use the same expectations on everyone, sorry it's inconvenient for you.

When you make unremarkable statements, you get that kind of response.

The Chinese president has said no negotiation, if they raise the tariff, they will do the same.

What is your justification?

Fubara should have resisted this suspension ! Let it be that the presidency arrests him so it can be on record that Tinubu violently removed a governor elected by his godfather. That would have shown the world that Tinubu is anti-democracy. Unfortunately the guy na fool . A spineless fool handpicked by an arrogant fool .
His name would have gone into the books as the only governor to be removed by the president, nothing else, it is completely insignificant.

Fiscus105:
If it were to be APC that got the court judgement now, even at lower court. IG would have sent army of police to the secretariat, claiming he wants to effect the judgment, but now he disappears to the cloud. The same man that quickly sent signal to police in Rivers, not to come out during local govt election, because of one kangaroo judgement, cannot effect supreme judgement now.

Not until institution of state start leaving up to their responsibility, we will continue dancing backwards.

If this finally leads to fighting, he would quickly rush to lock the secretariat, and rush gragra to the media, that, he is doing it to prevent total break down of law and order, and trust slaves on nairaland, they too would start commenting irrationally to defend lawless acts.
What is there to effect, SC said they don't have jurisdiction, they matter should be settled internally.
If you have something to say, say it, don't join issues, nothing to enforce.
Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Imposes 104% import tariffs On China's goods to the US by sparko1(m): 7:28am On Apr 09, 2025
Period007:
I think America have price control and Nigeria doesn't so don't compare
You expect the importer to sell below the cost price?

The real question is, will the alternatives produced in the US be cheaper?

The answer is NO, The government doesn't set price for goods, the president doesn't have that power.
Even if he does, his body language says he won't, he wants a more profitable industrial business environment.
Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Imposes 104% import tariffs On China's goods to the US by sparko1(m): 12:46am On Apr 09, 2025
Dreamhans1:
If I'm getting you right? When Americans start to pay for the tariffs, companies in America will join in raising their price. Why? In the nut shell,so when Chinese goods become expensive, American companies will fold and go to china
The part you don't get is, people living in the US will definitely buy those imported products
they have been buying and they will continue, the difference is, the quantity will be lower.

Take Nigeria for example, when Buhari stop importation of rice, local rice was cheaper than
foreign rice before the government stop the importation, what happened after, the price of local rice
is almost the same as imported rice, why? Because farmers discovered Nigerians hand no choice.

The only difference is the government stopped the importation instead of increasing tariff, which is the best,
because tariff won't force people to start farming, it will only allow a select few to be able to buy at higher cost,
which will still drive the price of the few locally made ones up, everyone wants profit, you should keep that in mind.

You are joking right, China is about 1.4 billion people, they own more than half of Africa (including Nigeria) that is about 400 to 500 million
People.

It's the US companies that relocated to China that will suffer, China don't care, for everything produced by the American companies

udemzyudex:
That's what Trump is trying to stop or reduce.
He can't reduce minimum wage, he can't restrict regulatory agencies, he is trying to force the companies back to the country,
But the reason they left can't be addressed.

Even those still in the country do most of the labour intensive parts in China and complete the rest in USA.

What he doesn't know is, the reverse will be the case, once everyone starts paying in the US for the tariff,
those still in the country will have an excuse to raise their price, and when they discover they are still not making enough profit
they will move as well.

Let me give you an example for cheap labour.

In Nigeria, if you want to do renovation, you can decide to pay the state government agency some money and they will allow you,
You then go ahead and employ who can do the job, be it bricklayer, painters, welder, as far as they are good, you negotiate with them
and they go ahead and do the Job.

In UK for example, you can't do that, before you begin anything, at least 3 to 5 regulatory agencies will visit, depending on if it's residential, commercial, factory, the kind of facilities that you want to use, waste management, water, gas.
Then when you want to employ workers, you can't just pick anyone, they must have certifications, register with appropriate body.
Sometimes the cost of labour is higher than materials, the right word is most time.

SalamRushdie:
Trump will bankrupt China if they continue
Seriously, do you even understand what this tariff means, the United States depend on China for almost everything.

Trump is trying to pull back factories that produces most of their stuff in China back to the US.

BUT, there's a good reason why they left and those reasons are way more heavier than tariffs.

1. Cheap labour, the minimum wage is going up, there's no way to get cheap labour.
2. Labour laws, the laws in the US are too strict and must be followed.
3. Regulatory agencies, this need no introduction.
4. Environmentalist and strict environmental protection policies.
5. Raw materials and it's availability.
6. Cheap alternative materials and availability.
7. Steady government policy.

These are just over a few and because I am on the move, the advantages outweigh whatever tariff he impose.

PoliticsRe: Why Protests Fail In Nigeria - Lisa Bassey by sparko1(m): 1:17pm On Mar 31, 2025
SensualMan:
Protest always fail in Nigeria because of association and integration of nonenties known as the yellow ba people.
They don't believe in anything.

They are the most treacherous b@stards u will ever find on earth. Their treacherous ways has always kept them where they are - at the bottom. They are sellouts. Dimwits.
Political power is different from economic power. The yellow bas are the dregs of Nigeria.
This is the major reason protest fail, ethnic bias.

The igbo don't believe in Nigeria, but want the support from all Nigerians
The Yourbas are too educated and religiously inclined that they can't unite under tribe.
The North are the only people that practice politics, they are united in religion and tribe,
they speak and move in the direction that benefits them.

Bottom line is, we as Nigerians can't be objective, most of the youth treat everything like football.
We just support a someone and don't care if they are wrong.

Generally Nigerians don't care about Nigeria, we just care about ourselves, if I can make money while everyone else
is suffering, all good, if my source of income is the reason for there their pain, they are haters.

And then there are a group of people that once they lose an election, they hope and pray the country burn.
It's like OUR PAIN AS A COUNTRY GIVE THEM A SPECIAL KIND OF JOY.
PoliticsRe: I'm Ready To Provide Evidence Against Fubara - Says Ex-HoS Nweke In New Video by sparko1(m): 10:47pm On Mar 29, 2025
Lanre1st:
Then what's the need for his outbursts?

Is Fubara is the first governor to be suspended using Emergency rule, why can't their HOS came out to cry? Something is cooking. His wife was also surprised because that was not her husband point of view before going to Abuja.

Logic is what justice use in court to know beyond what you are saying, no coherent in HOS speech, something is fishy
Justice or judges don't use logic, they use evidence.

1. The wife said he was kidnapped, but she's aware he booked a flight, and there was no evidence of kidnapping in
Abuja, no news of such.
2. He called major TV stations for the first, second broadcast, none of the TV representative could say he wasn't present or
or he was speaking at guy point.
3. In the last video, he said he has spoken with his wife and they will meet up after his meeting in Abuja.
4. His wife has no evidence of any of what she said, especially as she didn't work in the same office.
5. You assume the wife knows his point of view, because she said so, but refuse to believe the owner of the point of view even after saying it 3 times, maybe you are a mind reader, because even in the court of law, nothing best first hand account, whatever his wife said is considered hearsay, it can carry some legitimacy if he was dead, but while he is alive, it's not acceptable as evidence anywhere.

Finally, you can pretend all you want, spread speculation and baseless accusations, but it's now on record the governor has a lot to answer, no level of public sentiment can help him, no story of godfatherism will distort it.

You expect him to speak up in the presence of the Governor, now is the best time to speak up, the governor has limited influence.

Ordinary local government chairman in my area will make a King to cry not to talk of Governor, he won't even leave Rivers alive, no TV station will air it in the state.

Hemanwel:
That is 6 months of continuous operations; yet the color of Nigeria's problem has not changed from where it was:

- dollar/naira ratio still stands at 1:1500+

- Fuel price is still high

- FX reserve is still dipping

- Marketers are still importing refined fuel

Nigeria's problems are more than meets the eye!
The recovery you are expecting can only be done by God or if every other country press pulse
on their own economy and wait for Nigeria to catch up.

The effect is a slow burn procedure, dollar stability is more important and that has been achieved, what that means is
we can only improve from here, there were speculation that dollar will get to 3,000 that kind of uncertainty is bad for the economy
now everyone knows it is important.

Same with everything mentioned, fuel price, forex, are all dependent on the dollar but you see that Nigeria problem, Dollar can't solve it,
It's as much as Nigeria population.
