NinjaMetahuman:
countries you considered working have highest paid politicians in the world in 2023. Top 10 are either European, Asian or America.


Nigeria is not even in top 50 of the highest paid in the world.

The problem with Nigeria politics or Africa in general is instutional looting and bribery, not how much they pay politician.

It's hard to actually discuss stuff with someone that just wanna see everything through bias lens. Apc this apc that.

Like apc is the reason Nigeria is still in terrible state since 1960 and not just politicians generally.

Can you give a list of countries with the highest paid politicians in the world and let's compare it with what is earned by Nigerian politicians aside the looting - I'm talking about salaries and allowances. Then compare it with the minimum wage in those countries and the minimum wage here.

And yes, APC is the reason Nigeria is completely finished. Nigeria has never been this bad before APC came. There is bad and there is bad. Defending APC makes your brain stop functioning properly

NinjaMetahuman:
politicians receive a lot of money all over the world apart from their usual looting.

That's what makes politics attractive everywhere in the world.

No working country in the world pays their politician like Nigeria. Or maybe like your leaders, you want to compare Nigeria with the worst countries because that's what's been happening since you guys helped bring APC into power

Politicians in the developed world have more of power than money

Blame shifters and distractions.

NinjaMetahuman:
Getting paid for doing zero job.

Nigeria labor union has to be the best in the world.

I don't see anywhere else this type of shit will be tolerated.

No where else would tolerate the type of government we tolerate in Nigeria rather. Being paid peanuts while the politicians receive higher salaries than even those in the most developed and rich countries

kunle4toyeyaho:
Call it whatever you like,what accrues to federation account after the subsidy removal has geometrically increased. Hence,your state earns almost twice of what they were earning before.

It didn't geometrically increased, like I said before, it's called INFLATION. Nigeria is earning in dollars and if Nigeria earned 1 million and exchanges it to 500,000 million naira, immediately the subsidy was removed and naira lost it values, same amount would give Nigeria 1 billion naira. And currently, same amount is giving Nigeria approximately 1.5 billion. Is this an increase? No, it's called Inflation

kunle4toyeyaho:
The monthly allocation being given to your Governor has since increased since the removal of subsidy

It didn't increase. It's called inflation

The comments here are sad. It shows Nigerians don't really know their rights that it's now regarded as a privilege

Imagine what nairaland pushes to front-page then claim they don't want ethnic bashing

What made Hamas a terrorist organization and IDF a not so terrorist organization? Hama's was elected and IDF was created by an elected government

Since the food scarcity issue started, no governor or government official has been bold enough to mention one of the highest contributing factor - Fulani terrorists

Simple solution, declare a state of emergency against Fulani terrorists. Ban open grazing across the country. These policies don't require strong mental capabilities to implement but simple willpower

AntiChristian:
Even Biden better pass your Dad!

We don't cherish anything ours!
Why do we keep seeking nonsense validation from the whites?

You travel there you become a third class citizen and serve them!
They come here as expatriate they still retain their first class title!

Did you say "yours"? Only a deluded person will claim Tinubu as his

They know the criminals. Fulani terrorists are not hiding their faces. They post videos all over the internet. Their communities know them and report them to the security operatives. Who are they trying to deceive with this whole NIN linkage bullshit?

Blazebond:
Kill them all,na some of them dey claim to be "REMOTE" workers so,when police go ask them for more details Dem go rush come nairaland dey shout police intimidation.many of you ignorant youths don't know how humans can lie,make una dey believe everything when una dey read,any remote workers when nor show concrete evidence of he or she being a remote worker is a thief.

Shut up. Who tell you say Fulani terrorists dey hide? Thousands of them wen don upland videos on the internet, who dem don arrest?

It's not the force of demand and supply. It's not the hoarding of foodstuff - perishable goods cannot be boarded. It's not the exporting if foodstuff to other countries - otherwise it would be good for our import based economy.


We all know the truth. It's the astronomical increase in fuel price and the rise of the dollar. Another contributing factor is the Fulani terrorists that chased farmers away from their farms.

How did the dollar rise suddenly and how did farming suddenly become a death sentence in Nigeria? Tinubu and Buhari that he installed should have the answer

Yea, and Nigeria economy will grow by 7% according to world bank.

You guys will be coming out with stupid statistics and predictions everyday.

Adlac:
You & I should protect our infrastructure from insane people.

You no well with that comment

PressMyButton:
Senseless comment, why can't you ask Govt to come and protect the transformer at your backyard or your compound gate. Sensible citizens take charge of public facilities in their domains and alert the security of any intruder.

Stfu! It's not a senseless comment. How do you expect civilians to take charge of security when Fulani terrorists are posting videos on the internet with their faces uncovered but they don't get arrested? Insecurity is not the lack of information by the security operatives because all the terrorists are known people - they're not in hiding

forgiveness:
Exactly, but i am saying they scrape that and allow normal atm to do that.

And it's already illegal when they've not scrapped it? Why are you blaming citizens for government policies?

forgiveness:
Dump! You must be a novice. So, you don't know you can use your domiciliary account atm card to pay for services abroad?

You be de olodo.

Domiciliary account ATM that you said they shouldn't have?

forgiveness:
Use your atm to withdraw and pay or make transfer.

You're 100% dumb.

forgiveness:
Dollar payment in Nigeria is illegal. If you want to pay outside the country, use your atm card to withdraw.

You well so? So to pay my brother's school to an American university is illegal?

MADIFF:
Great move, how can a Nigerian living in Nigeria have his or her savings in dollar?

Even dollar sent from diaspora NIGERIANs refuse to convert and spend it rather wait till the price goes up and they cash out.



Our problem is not the land or the leaders but the orientation of average Nigerian so corrupt and self centered, always money oriented above humanity.

You are dumb. All citizens want values for their money. There's no country where it's the responsibility of the citizens to fight for their currency. In Nigeria, you're forced to trade against your currency. I didn't have a Dom account until the bank forced me to open one before I can be able to pay school fees for my brother. Then you'll turn around and blame me for opening a Dom account when the government policy literally forced me to?

Why did the naira suddenly start going down when a clueless ineptitude inefficient government came into power if it's not the stupid leaders?

forgiveness:
This is the best way to go. Convert dollar to naira immediately it enters the domiciliary account, and make sure nobody receives dollar in the bank.

Provision should be made to convert naira to dollar with atm card only if you're in America and naira to other countries currency in other countries.

I could remember when we used atm card to withdraw cedis in Ghana even withouthaving a domiciliary account. Buhari destroyed that system to favor aboki selling dollars.

You no well. So if someone go BDC go buy dollars to make dollars payment, make dem convert am to dollars?

Who dem wan deceive? I went to pay school fees for my brother and I was forced to open a domiciliary account and went all over Abuja looking for where to buy dollars to fund it and make the payment.

They made it impossible for citizens to make any foreign payment with naira accounts and forced to open domiciliary account to do that then turned around to whine about citizens opening domiciliary account. Are these politicians normal at all? They spend all their time looking for how yo shift blames on citizens but some of us are not Dundees like most people

NOETHNICITY:
My religion Islam solved this problem thousands of years ago, but you call us fanatics and woke for not drinking alcohol.

Some friends avoid me saying I make outings boring, simply because I don’t drink alcohol.

Alcohol has ruined many homes, ruined many lives.
Now deal with the problem

Yet 90% of your people are sniffing animal faeces and inhaling suck aways to get high due to poverty and lack of funds to buy proper drugs. Who are you trying to deceive?

Hadone:
Good move!! They bear witness of the negative consequences the alcohol infiltrates on their husbands hence taking such action. This happened in a Christian dominated location, therefore stop cursing the sharia police in Kano and other Muslims dominated areas. Alcohol is always a bad substance no matter how some negative thinking people or authorities legalized it

Shut the fvck up! These women and the sharia Police are mad.

The truth is coming out. They should simply push for a DNA test. If A joke is TB Joshua's blood, then that's an evidence to why TB Joshua would hate her for wanting to tarnish his image. But if he's smart enough, he would have just claimed being a polygamous man as some dubious controversial pastors like him have done in the past

Dagger111:
This guy again. Why is it that great people normally have 1 or 2 Judas in the list of their children? Almost every great men o.

My maternal late grandfather had lot of children and he is a very known cleric and so wealthy but believe me, over half of his children are crooks and agberos. Why?

Is your mom among the crooks and agberos?

[quote author=BloomingDale post=127984219][/quote]wtf is wrong with Aljazeera? They should not involve us in their wahala. Our own is already choking us and nobody cares

emapeteum:
This is absolutely nonsense. You so ignorant of what Islam say about the Jews and the murder of the Jews by Muhammad in Arabian peninsula
Christianity and Judaism are two side of a coin:both used Bible except Christianity has a new testament in addition.Christianity is a confirmation of the old testament. Though Christians persecuted the Jews in the middle age but played a very significant role for the re-establishment of the modern state of Israel. Islam call for the killing of all the Jews but Christians send resources to those who were massacred by your brothers ,Hamas.In conclusions, I think you are the one that is ignorance.

You're just imagining things and arguing with someone that has actually lived with Jews including Zionists. Jews and Muslims are at loggerheads but when it comes to religion, they're 100% more at ease with Muslims than with Christians. They call y'all idolaters and abhore and hate you with passion. They can pray with Muslims and pray in a mosque but when it comes to churches, no Jew would ever contemplate that. I've casually interviewed Jews on this and they explained some things to me


Mind you, I'm neither a Christian, a Jew nor a muslim. I'm an atheist
