Stop Japa

You have no reason to leave Nigeria if you are over 30 and have a family and career.

Nigeria's skills, education and training are not recognised in the frustration of doing low-skilled and mundane tasks, which will have an impact on your mental well-being and lead to a mental breakdown. A trained civil engineer working in Tesco (stacking shelves) with a wife cheating on him has nothing to lose.

Stay in Nigeria and fight for your country.

The family arrived in the UK from Nigeria in 2022 but clashed over money issues as well as the alleged affairs.

Abodunde was a trained civil engineer but had been unable to find work in the sector since relocating here and took shifts at supermarkets and DIY stores.

Following his arrest for murder, he told police he had acted in self-defence, saying: 'My wife has subjected me to physical abuse for a number of years.

'On November 28, we got into an argument. She ran at me with a knife. I grabbed the knife and cut my hand. I was defending myself.'

sultanofpigs:
TINUBU lost in the LAGOS he built..

Lost in his Osun State

Lost in the FCT

But rigged massively in other regions because of YAKUBU.

No shaking.. the next election will shock you to the end of the earth.

Tinubu built nothing in Lagos.

LOVEALAIGBO:
I understand Sowores’ sentiments, but he’s not being pragmatic! He’s idealism, commendable as it is, doesn’t work in Nigeria! If he thinks i’m joking let him just mention the word revolution and see where it lands him! Just to mention oh….not even to try carrying it out!

That is the only thing that will work in Nigeria,

pragmatic power will create another APC, political power without ideals. One day PO will be president of Nigeria and Nigeria will regret it.

Faithful Ebube Ejealor, a 15-year-old boy, revealed the key to his exceptional success in the recently completed 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

According to Vanguard, the bright young man from Umuohie-Ukwu Eziama in the Ngor-Okpala local government area of Imo state received an astounding score of 354. He received scores of 71 in English language, 95 in physics, 95 in maths, and 93 in chemistry.

I noticed that all top UTME's student's lowest marks is usually in the English language subject. BTW 15 is too young to do UTME

Exousiang01:
Okay you belong to the class of people who thinks a University is the only place you can do a course, we are not in the 1995.

You dont need a university to do an IT related course, you dont need a University to be a cyber security expert, nobody mentioned a University or 4 years. You manufactured that information in your brain, stop pushing down informations you manufactured in your head down our throats.

Its people like you who spread fake news.
Where in this reporr is there any statement of a university degree or a 4 year course.

People do 6 months course and get their certifications.
How many months does it take to get a CCNA, CCNP and co? Get yourself enlightened and stop shaming your self, your ignorance is becoming to evident

University is overrated in today's world. Nigerian state should prioritise primary and secondary education only. If you can afford a University education, then pay for it.


The universities can be privatised, sold or closed down.

MEEVEET:
Why not use that money

Employ the Indians
Equip your state university

That way you can reach more people and achieve same thing cheaper

Common sense is not common to all the student who have been sponsored in the past. Where are they now?

Nigeria's government should build industrial capacity, Electricity, Rail, roads, water access and security.

SocialJustice:
I hope Atiku is ready to be Obi's running mate now

Keep on hoping; Peter Obi was visiting Atiku at Atiku's residence. Had PO continued as Atiku VP in 2023. Atiku would have been president, and PO would have been VP, and in 2031, PO would have been president.

This is what a debt trap looks like. The West has convinced the fool running Nigeria to destroy the economy and is now big for aid and loads. The next thing they will force Nigeria to accept foreign bases and support Western interests.



Nigeria need to get rid of Tinubu now

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
So where is the money from subsidy removal

There was no subsidy removal. Tinubu has destroyed Nigeria.

The funding will be received via two major development projects. The first project is the Nigeria Reforms for Economic Stabilization to Enable Transformation Development Policy Financing, which is set to receive $1.5bn.

Quest7777:
After completion & trainings, DSC was handed over to Nigerians who ran it aground, b4 Indians took over to try & revive it.

When was DSC handed over to Nigerians?

DSC was left idle by the Nigerian government, then privatised by Atiku in his role as Chairman of the National Economic Council and head of the National Council on Privatization, overseeing the sale of hundreds of loss-making and poorly managed public enterprises alongside Nasir El Rufai and handed DSC to an Indian organisation that renamed DSC to Premier Steel and ran the steel plan to the ground.

kennyz247:
Even if the Visa made Nigeria visa free,I doubt if any sane investor will like to come Nigeria with d current situations in Nigeria..

They still don't want to accept that the APC and Tinubu are the problem.

The only news we read about Nigeria is about poverty, dirty streets, the government destroying people's properties, multinationals leaving the country, prison breaks, Japa, missing president, and corruption. People don't go to failed states, Sudan and Somalia.

Forget about visitors and focus on the local people. Where will visitors relax? Tinubu has recently destroyed the last modern beach facilities (Landmark Beach)

sulaak:
A leader makes a tough decision that nobody wants to take, and that decision might hurt Nigeria in the short term, but in the long term, it might save Nigeria. Nigeria barely earns $12 billion per annum, and the majority of that fund is wasted on importing a product that we should be producing(refined oil)

Why are the refineries still not working?
Why can't the country export more crude oil?

In 2012, GEJ should have removed oil subsidies and invested in fixing the refineries, but GEJ was never a leader. The consequence is that Tinubu must now make that tough decision, but it also seems that Tinubu is less of a leader than GEJ. The consequence is being kicked down the road.

Elusive001:
You lie.

Tinubu didn't take any tough decision. It was senseless
He copied PO but didn't copy well. This is like the coastal road we are shouting that it is not a priority now. It's just like the tax he is imposing everywhere. There was no iota of plan to contain tye subsidy removal like functional refineries and good business atmosphere to encourage production. It seems that he was told that PO mentioned subsidy removal and fiam he said it without any template.

Can you read? Where did I say Tinunu made the tough decision? I said that Tinubu must make tough decisions, but he is not a leader. You are so up Peter Obi's backside that you cannot read well or reason for yourself.

LandMann:
Before subsidy removal fuel was around 165-200.... After subsidy removal fuel price jumped to 650-700, inflation skyrocketed and naira depreciated massively.

Now, fuel price is over N800-1200, the government claims there's no subsidy yet the IMF is screaming that Nigerian government is paying subsidy that will ensure there's zero infrastructural, health and educational development in Nigeria for the next 1-3 years

Dear Nigerians, is IMF the enemy of Nigeria or is Tinubu and his cabal of incompetent morons just running Nigeria aground?

Helinues and all other government propaganda zombiés on Nairaland please come and defend your government wage and explain this anomaly

The IMF is not the enemy. Compare the landing cost to the cost at the pump, and you will know that Nigeria's enemy is the Tinubu government.

SoNature:
I'd like to think that we Nigerians either like to deceive ourselves or we are just ignorant of what leadership is. In truth, leadership is NOT all about choosing between good and evil. No!

Think of a leader as a civilian in charge of security operatives chasing after one dangerous terrorist who has masterminded the killing of hundreds in the past. This terrorist runs into a building full of people just to escape from security operatives.

The leader knows that if he tells the security agents to go into the building to arrest the man, he will waste all of them and escape because he's a specialist in doing that. Instead, he tells them to throw bombs into the building, killing the terrorist and other innocent people.

The leader knows that if he keeps that terrorist alive, he will kill more. So, it's better to sacrifice just 5 - 10 innocent people in place of hundreds. That's something these leaders face every now and then.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told Jonathan to remove the petrol subsidy in 2012. She took hours to convince Jonathan. Jonathan took weeks to think about it but wasn't convinced. Considering that his options were limited, Jonathan had to remove it anyways. And it backfired! It nearly led to a countrywide protest - a protester even died at Ojota! That's what it means to be a leader.

So, sometimes, we have to pity our leaders. We don't have access to the information they have. We don't know what they go through at night for making certain decisions. But, I like the way Buhari put it, "You cannot satisfy everyone. Just make a decision that will enable you to sleep at night."

If you read up to this point, my point is, leadership is hard!

A leader makes a tough decision that nobody wants to take, and that decision might hurt Nigeria in the short term, but in the long term, it might save Nigeria. Nigeria barely earns $12 billion per annum, and the majority of that fund is wasted on importing a product that we should be producing(refined oil)

Why are the refineries still not working?
Why can't the country export more crude oil?

In 2012, GEJ should have removed oil subsidies and invested in fixing the refineries, but GEJ was never a leader. The consequence is that Tinubu must now make that tough decision, but it also seems that Tinubu is less of a leader than GEJ. The consequence is being kicked down the road.

God1000:
Too bad, government should stop using cosmetic approach to stabilize naira and address the real problem

Production

FitCorper:
Stay there de wait make government spoon feed you. No open brain learn skill wey go fetch u correct money. In Buhari’s voice “Lazy Nigeria yoots, they always want everything handed to them”

A lazy president is calling the yoot lazy. In less that 8 years Buhari and Tinubu took Nigeria GDP from $600bn to $200bn

nairalanda1:
Why not fight corruption, remove subsides and industrialize?

Keeping subsides, means more debt, which means more burden for the poor. Remove subsides, and there is a chance of investment and jobs , which benefit...the poor.

A corrupt government cannot fight corruption. What sought of government spends 15 trillion on a new road when its electricity infrastructure is collapsing

Quest7777:
The Ajaokuta & Delta Steel Companies, if fully revived can put Nigeria on the path to Industrialisation.
But unfortunately they can't.

DSC was all fine when Oyibo were in charge, but things started going haywire immediately Nigerians took over.

Things like this make me wonder if blacks are cursed or their brains are inferior.

It was Indian's that took over Ajaocuta and DSC. Indian destroyed the UK steel industry. What Indians do , is use the steel mill to import their own steel from Indian's .

Angrymode:
This move by Lagos state is a very bad move that will lead to further divides in this country. Just imagine if every state decides to follow suit.

Then Nigeria will be a better place. Why should Lagos state be responsible for another state's failure? How can anyone leave his state to live on the streets of Lagos? Lagos is full of shanty towns full of destitute from other states with no hope of success.

Tetrahedron:
Illegal squatters, area boys, beggars, touts, homeless wanderers should all be picked up, asked for their proof of work or home, if unable bundle them into a trailer and send them to their state of origin.

Their govs collect state security allowance they should spend it on their indigenes.

Lagos will no longer be a dumping ground for all sorts of lay-abouts

I agree with this statement. Why should a state be responsible for another state's failures? Osun state should provide social welfare to their people.

yawehoverall:
Looks fine though, but here in NIGERIA we need to tackle poverty , insecurities and hunger.

This is clearly a misplaced priority.

Thank you sir.

Nigeria's priority should be refineries, electricity, and the Ibadan -Kano railway.

Sannisege:
The coastal road as an alternative road will reduce stress on the internal roads thereby making them last longer. New communities will also spring up along the coasts leading to more economic activities and depopulation of already overpopulated internal urban and rural areas. How about travel time reduction? The advantages are endless.

Why build alternative roads when the main road is in a terrible state? What you are saying the alternative road ends up being the main road.

Remman:
The best hero of our nation. He brought the idea to slash excess spending of NASS, so his death could be suspecious considering the greedy nature of NASS members. He gave Armnesty to Niger Delta militants, the first to actually publicised his Agenda and actually stood by it.

Seems to me like Nigeria has an evil spirit to take away "better thing" from them. Somehow validates the common adage "better thing no dey last".

Giving amnesty to militants is an act of failure and an admission that Nigeria is a failed state. Today the Militants now control the oil wells. It was under his government that the leader of Boko Haram was killed.

Bobloco:
Who is Nigeria's minister of petroleum?

That should be the first question on everyone's lips.

President Bola Tinubu as Minister of Petroleum Resources appointed Heineken Lokpobiri as the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil) and Ekperikpe Ekpo as Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas) in August 2023.

dreamworld:
just for small money?, the sentence is too miuch

He is a bank manager, If Nigerians cannot trust the bank then the country is in real trouble.

Jokerman:
Observation

1. Era of PDP result writing favoured OBJ

2. Tribal voting did not start today, however it seems Tinubu and his minions have proliferated it, as we can see....

In 1999, all Yoruba voted for Olu Falae, from 2003-2015, all Northerners voted for Buhari head on...

3. It seems SS/SE vote more of competent candidates rather than tribal, as we can see votes to Obasanjo etc..

4. So no core SW gave GEJ 70% 😂😂😂😂

The majority of Igbos voted for PO

The Igbos had an unfair choice between OBJ and Falae and selected OBJ

Igbo only voted for Atiku because PO was his vice president.

We are all tribal inclined, one Nigeria is a fallacy and a joke.

ttobizz:
How did you know, are you currently in the UK? Okay when I get to the UK, I'll confirm. If this information is true, me and you go come back 9ja

I live in the UK, and this is true. Tax is very high and pay is low

Kelvinofficial:
Nigerians complaining about these IOCs leaving are really myopic. At least now indigenous companies are taking over, which means retained revenue. The most important question we should be asking is if these indigenous companies have the technical expertise and financial chest to take over these oil wells!

If IOCs leaving is the best policy, why is the government courting investment from Qatar, India, S Arabia and UAE? Nigeria needs both foreign investment and indigenous investment

Judolisco:
China said they won't finance, that doesn't mean we can't build if we have d money...

We don't have the money or technology to build a coal power electric plant

Judolisco:
is that not what I'm saying, I said we should focus more on other ways of generating electricity, if u say other regions should generate their own electricity, then d question would be, generate their electricity from what? South Africa uses coal fired plant to get bulk of its electricity ... If Nigeria can look into dis it would be better, I knw there is coal in enugu and kogi.... Instead of relying on hydro and gas.... South Africa also uses nuclear energy...

Forget about coal; Western financial institutions will not provide loans for a new coal power station due to the ESG and climate change. However, suppose the SE state government and private SE institutions can garner the will to approach Asian financial institutions to support the financing of coal power electricity. It will make a significant difference.


https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/nigerian-lawmaker-questions-why-coal-power-projects-have-stalled-2021-09-22/

It was reported in 2018 that PowerChina was in discussions with the Kogi State government over financing a 2,400 MW coal-fired power plant in the state, but nothing appeared to have come of that.
In a pledge aimed at helping tackle climate change, China said on Tuesday it would not build new coal-fired power projects abroad. read more

Judolisco:
Niger for example now has like 4 dams... Kainji, jebba, shiroro and zungeru, d middle belt alone can't consume d energy generated from all dis stations... What we need is more ways to generate electricity

The total electricity capacity in Niger state is only 2700MW. The Middle Belt will need more to develop a mining, agro-processing and manufacturing industry. If SA, with a population of 60 million, is struggling to manage 55,000 MW. Nigeria can barely transmit 5000MW.


Nigeria should focus on the electricity that they will need for the industrialisation of the future.


Kainji Power Station Kainji, Niger State Reservoir 800MW
Jebba Power Station Jebba, Niger State Reservoir 540MW
Shiroro Power Station Shiroro, Niger State Reservoir 600MW
Zungeru Power Station, Niger State Reservoir 700MW
