A caring and understanding side chick who gives you peace of mind is far better than a nagging house wife who's steadily giving you headache and paranoia

what if the sidechick uses otumurkpur?

WriterNg. I hail o. When will Russia sell cheap wheat flour to hungry Africans please? That man started a war that made bread a luxury.

Wishful thinking at it's best.

Even Akara Frier has many battles in Nigeria not to talk of a an office that can be used to make money and available for the taking by those who joined politics with their souls.

grandstar:
Politics is what dictates what gets done.

You prune the civil service, they prune your presidency to one term.

The political cost is simply to high. Choose your battles wisely.

so the presidency n governors and corrupt civil service team up to prune the amenities n pockets of the masses.

Where is the corn or cassava? Garri is now a rich man food. Corn is for ballers.

Rossikk:
The idea of “tribe” was introduced by the colonia invaders.

Pre-colonial Africans did not identify themselves as “Igbos”, “Hausas” or “Yorubas”, especially not in a way to differentiate between THEIR group and others.

People identified by their lineage or ancestral town or village.

Back then a clan of Igbo speakers had no issue ganging up with a neighbouring village or clan of Yoruba speakers to attack an Igbo speaking village.

It was the colonialists who, to create blocs of division and rivalry, roped all speakers of a language into one “tribe”, and those of another, into another “tribe”.

It’s all FALSE and ENGINEERED.

If you actually did an ancestral DNA test, you would likely discover that your ancestors were migrants from a totally different part of the country.

be lying small small.

True yarns.

Africans like to believe they are better than they are. Very disorganised people. One of the strongest forces of disorganization is ethnicity and tribes. Just look at how seriously africans take tribal loyalty and you see why we cannot unite on any meaningful thing. Loot at how we demand list of drinks and biscuits that were never in existence before our so called forefathers at traditional events. It means our tradition and culture has become slave to colonial influence.

grandstar:
I suspect he is petrified of regime change.

He can't set aside the politician in him. If he can't deregulate the price now, I don't see how it's possible in his 'second term.'

When the economy started crumbling under PMB, Northerners were bitter. A semi-literate Fulani man and an uneducated Hausa man both expressed bitterness towards him. This was in 2016. They said they wont vote for him come 2019, and we're speaking for their people generally.

However, by the time elections came in 2019, they voted massively for him.

How come? In 2017, the CBN introduced a second foreign exchange window where the rates were market reflective. This pulled the country out of a recession, and economic growth resumed. By 2019, the pain had long been forgotten. The 'high proces' of goods in 2017, was now the new normal

Why am I saying this? Tinubu has only 2 year window to enact the first phase of painful reforms which will primarily be deregulation of the petrol price and some more in the electricity sector.. People are already adjusting to the new prices.

By 2027, people would have adjusted to the new price levels, and if combined with rapid economic growth, would guarantee him a re-election. Yorubas have this phrase, "O ti mo wan la ra.

As long as the petrol subsidy remains, the Nairas value can't be maintained. It will be prone to depreciation, which will only widen the amount spent on the subsidies.

The second phase of painful reforms would be the pruning of the civil service.

The pruning of civil service should be the first phase for any serious govt. Why pay idlers in the first place. That's a man or woman with functional hands, legs and brains yet being paid for doing nothing but agreeing to play spiritual politics with their souls. The bloated civil workforce needs to be pruned alongside the criminal element in the workforce and society at large. Productive hands need protection and motivation to grow. Even the middle class prefer to run away than try and grow locally. That tells you growth has become to expensive in Nigeria.

🤧🤧🤧😏😏😏The GMD of nnpcl already told Mr president the pH refinery has park up and is requesting for fresh funds to build a brand new one by the side😏😏😏
You get the gist🙋🙋
On the other hand nnpc has 20% stake in the dangote refinery and they wanna exploit the stake jejely as nnpcl is concerned😂💪

NNPCL is in debt according to their wide mouth and have no 20% stake in any refinery with Dangote in the name.

It is nearing N1700 and not N2000. The sensationalism is irritating.

baralatie:
Nigeria does not operate public refineries 🤔 but we have nnpcl owned disfunct refineries

did they promise that those refineries will work soon or not? If it is about to work, why take the partnership with Dangote so serious?

Imagine paying bride price for gallon of fuel.

baralatie:
You are joining nnpcl and refineries ?🤷🤷
Well nnpcl and dangote are just acting drama
The main plot will be exposed

who is in charge of public refineries again? Educate me please.

christejames:
All the ones they've been signing, what have they achieved with them

more pointedly, the ones Buhari signed and built, how much is it generating or repaying. The goal Is to loot the inflow and repay with oil money. That's why knowledgeable citizens are reluctant to pay taxes.

EreluRoz:
Nigeria is in danger, it'll end in revolution and it'll come unexpectedly.

Mark this down

maybe that one is to build another super highway or flyover in urban area.

International beggi beggi. They always disguise it as partnership and MoU then loot it.

If the NNPCL run refineries are close to working, why is NNPCL so fixated on the output from Dangote refinery?

You cannot fool everybody all the time?

Edo first and now Kano. The governors are now leading the protest with postponements. I hope DSS locates them and arrest them for reasonable felony.

There nothing to look into. There is a cost associated with power generation.

AAEEI:
Are you blind? Its on the first post

la click la.

Where is the link to the video of imams pinning fuel debacle on Christians.

Will they hear wisdom?

PlayMaker14:
Now, you are the loser cos you supported the fool.

to be president?

PlayMaker14:
2027, you will come to Channels TV to gaslight some emotionally defeated fellows to give Tinubu a second chance.


We know una.

at least he didn't produce beer and save the rest for the next looter to loot like your messiah in politics. Your messiah who watched onitsha boys reign terror on people and supervised SARS terror.

I saw through him long ago. No one who knows economics and understands it dynamics well enough will watch genuine workers and contributors to the system get harassed and exploited by thugs who do nothing for the society. He ignored the ills of the system to be building projects him and his cronies can take a cut of the cost. He celebrated higher taxation rate instead of GDP which is what improves lives of the masses.
Dude was a typical Nigerians big man.

Same difference as going to a quack for surgery versus going to a trained and certified medical practitioner.

BALLOSKI:
It shouldn't be a news because you're not the one affected.

Only you. You quickly hop into another account to type Toh as usual.

The writer of this piece is yet to recover from the shock of the last election loss.

A bittersweet life

I am sure the many Nigerians whose cries his opinions resonates with are elections losers also.
I understand that's how politics work in Nigeria. Attribute election lose to any sensible advise from the opposition because it exposes the shortcomings of the present govt which you support.

In early August, Tinubu turned his attention to agriculture. As is customary with this administration, a new policy was clandestinely formulated and announced, permitting duty-free importation of agricultural commodities such as wheat, maize, and paddy, despite vehement opposition from farmer groups nationwide. This policy poses a grave threat to Nigeria’s food security ambitions, as local farmers, facing unfair competition from low-cost producers in Asia, Europe, and America, are compelled to reduce or entirely abandon their production efforts. It jeopardizes job creation, wealth generation, and the sector’s long-term prosperity, casting a shadow over Nigeria’s sustainability and development.

If I recall correctly, sometimes back the local rice farmers justified their high prices with the intl market price of rice. If that is truly the case then they need not fear flooding of the local market with foreign rice for example. This part of the article is unnecessary.
