Ethiopia has just stopped Visa on arrival for Nigeria. The damage that has been done to Nigeria's image.

Sabadon:
One of the downsides of being an oil producing state, poor soil for agriculture, contaminated rivers for fishing, indigenous non inclusion in the scheme of things, the list goes on.......



NNPC is headed by who again??

The oil-producing region has always supported the North presidential candidate and when they voted for GEJ he did nothing beyond stealing their local resource.

The state minister of petroleum resources is from the SS and that has been the case for the past 8 years under Buhari. Under GEJ, Diezani Alison-Madueke was the minister for 6 years.

After 2023 election the hate between igbos and yoruba will grow to 90% between two tribe either yorubas hate igbos more or igbos hates yorubas so i advice we start preaching peace among us 2023 election will tire this two regions

The hatred is so much that I will rather Nigeria split.

THIS IS NNPC PLC NOT LTD.
PLEASE CORRECT THE IN BALANCE NOW AND LET US KNOW WHO WE ARE DEALING WITH.
AND FOR NNPC LTD TO BUY 380 OANDO PLC FACILITIES ALL OVER NIGERIA UNSUNG IS A DISASTER KNOCKING.
PLEASE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO NIGERIA TOWARDS 2023?

OBJ IBB AA AND OBJ AGAIN PLEASE ABOVE FOR YOUR NECESSARY ACTIONS AND FOLLOW UP.

NNPC is not listed on the stock market so it's a Limited Liability Company and not a Public listed company. If NNPC was a PLC Kyari would have been sacked for incompetence.

What is happening is that Buhari and his team are cashing out big time. Spending $400 million on for 5% stake on Nigeria Air when $400 million will build 5-10 modular oil refineries that Nigeria needs to cut refined oil import.

Kingpin1000:
Na that censors under OBJ northerners carry play southerners 419.
Under Obasanjo regime o.
Then somebody go say northerners no smart. Na northerners smart pass for Nigeria.
There account go dey read millions but na only 3 cloth den get. Northerners would rather pay for for a single room with upto 6 people living inside than build a house.
One man wey I dey pity tell me say him dey vex say him no sell onions well this year na only 6+ million naira him sell and baba still get cows o, wetin baba wear for leg na bathroom slippers. You be mumu if you feel say aboki na mumu.

If they are smart, 90% of Northern Nigeria will not be living in extreme poverty.

The system is working and that is all that matters. It is a starting point, why liberate from progress? Isn't that retrogression.

You do not know the level of traffic being experienced by Lagosians on a daily basis. This is some level of relief and it is a welcomed development. People can quickly get from point A to B, without much hassle.

Isn't it beautiful that your flight arrives Lagos, and you just walk out of the airport, straight to the train station and you're on your way, hassle free, traffic free? Do you know how much time people spend in traffic to, say the Island, from the airport? It cuts down all of that stress. It is a deliberate and strategic move, towards reducing the amount of traffic time, which in turn would increase productivity. It should be commended.

You can do better, look for other posts, not this one.

If we see truth, make we try dey talk am.

The system is not working if someone is controlling it, Tinubu had some positives when he took on the OBJ dictatorship but over the years he has been involved in state capture and supporting hopeless leaders like Buhari. It's time to go.

SMH, I think Economics should be made compulsory for everybody and every courses up to university level.


In a lay man explanation. When there are too much money in circulation or when there is a perceived inflation, government regulatory body increases interest rates to banks and bank increase interest rates to customers which reduces customer borrowing from banks and hence reduce money in circulation and reduces inflation.


On the other hand. When there are lesser money in circulation, govt reduces interest rates to banks and bank also reduce to loan borrowers to encourage loans.

In economics, it's explained in terms of bonds

Who is printing too much money aka Ways and means?

Buhari is so bad if the Fulani have stopped defending him.

Nukilia:
A party without principle! The same way PDP ruined this nation with their accomplices thats the way they'll destroy themselves...

#Ajatuka

PDP destroyed Nigeria, APC aka nPDP aka ACN completed the destruction the country

Ortom is the spokesman for Atiku another Fulani.

I have no time for these people in the middle belt, is it not Ayu and Ortom that are fighting for a Fulani (Atiku) to be the next president of Nigeria?

patthebulb:
In the same way that oil boomed in the 19th century, tech jobs are booming today.

We're talking about a $4 trillion industry with over 50% growth expected between 2020 and 2025. And guess what? It's not just about coding. Tech jobs are everywhere—from software development to user experience design and project management.

This means there will be plenty of opportunities for people who want to start their career in this field.

But where do you start? What steps should you take? How do you get a job in tech?

Keep this thread active for answers to all these questions

You are wrong!

The largest global transaction is FX followed by oil and gas.

Russia cut off gas and oil support across Europe and the entire world has collapse into a global recession. Commodities are still the main driver of world economies

Chief, sponsoring students to study abroad is not an achievement.

14. Established 44 Technical and Islamic Studies Schools.

16. Sponsored 100 persons for Degree in Medicine overseas.

17. Established 26 new Institutes for vocational training.

18. Sponsored 100 persons for Piloting and Aeronautical Engineering in Jordan.

19. Sponsored 100 persons for a Degree in Pharmacy overseas.

20. Sponsored 100 females to study Medicine (Gynaecology) abroad.

21. Sponsored 25 Candidates to India and UK to study Marine Engineering.

All the states mentioned are all Christian majority states with only one state located in the SW..

...am still wondering how you think that these Christians will foolishly vote a party fielding muslim-muslim candidates.

...mind you these so called governors have one vote each...

Do you think the South will vote for another Fulani after Buhari's disaster?

King44:
This man is dividing the country through ethnicity.

The proper authority would turn a blind eye to this.

How could you be preaching hate and disunity because of your beliefs and sentiments? It's crazy.

How could some people let a man like this pollute their thoughts and views and they sat there listening to him?

This is a terrorist mindset

What a stupid statement. Nigeria is already divided by ethnicity. Nigeria is a country, a regional expression. The nation called Nigeria doesn't exist.

Does country mean nation?
There is a difference between the terms nation, state, and country, even though the words are often used interchangeably. Country and State are synonymous terms that both apply to self-governing political entities. A nation, however, is a group of people who share the same culture but do not have sovereignty.

What is wrong with tribalism?

Nigeria has only existed for 106 years ( 1914 to 2022), while we have been tribal for thousands of years. We need to accept our differences

Urheadmaster:
Nigeria is a land of tribalism

It has eaten very deep in the minds of her citizens and have generated to a hate against one another .

iSense247:
Because you want to sound unbiased you end up surpporting evil. Are the Igbo dominated markets the dirtiest markets in Lagos? What of markets dominated by Yorubas and Hausas? Be wise and sincere for once.

All traders must do is convince the authorities that their market is clean with proper waste market facilities. I know Oyingbo very well, the please is a shit hole and should be closed down. The majority of the traders at Oyingbo market are from Dahomey and Egun selling dry fish and foodstuff.

funshint:
It seems things has been in comatose in NRC since Amaechi left. Hmmn Hausa has taken over...expect redundancy. That's their trade mark wherever they head.

It was always going to end this way whoever was in charge of the ministry of transport. The primary source of energy for the Railway is diesel. Nigeria imports diesel and presently the country lacks the foreign exchange to pay for imported diesel hence the train cannot work.

You will think that the numpty in government would have priorities energy security and steel production first before building new rail tracks.

Nigerian stranded are not the Diaspora, these are Nigerians that are not supposed to travel out in the first place. The Nigerians in diaspora are the legal Nigerians that are allowed to reside abroad.

Nigerians like Kemi Badenoch

Olukemi Olufunto Badenoch (/ˈbeɪdnɒk/ BAYD-nok;[1] née Adegoke, 2 January 1980)[2] is a British politician serving as the Secretary of State for International Trade and President of the Board of Trade since 2022.[3] She previously served as Minister of State for Local Government, Faith and Communities and Minister of State for Equalities from 2021 to 2022.

Anigreat:



All thanks to Tinubu, a very big thanks to him.

This is a man some føolish idiotic nonentities believed and think that Nigerians will vote for so that he can continue with his oppressive rule. Funny enough, the law makers and enforcers are the ones breaking the laws more in Lagos. Till they obey the law they make themselves, will I take them serious.

Atleast there should have been a warning given to defaulters by paying a little amount of money , but no, it's total seizing of their cars and auctioning it at ridiculous amount, so that poor people will Continue to suffer endlessly.

Agbadorian can only be president of Iragbiji not Nigeria, Incase he needs my vote to be life president of Iragbiji community, I am ready to vote him.

Maybe you missed the quote

when I drove against traffic in Cele area and the bus was impounded

Only man people that should never be allowed to drive, drive against traffic. Until we start punishing bad behaviour Nigeria will never make it, now that they have paid the price for their stupidity they will never drive against traffic.

FreeStuffsNG:
I know interpreting this is too difficult to understand for the lazy youth who idles away on the social media 24/7 from January to december to make a career in jesting and entertainment, this inflation is not caused by the Federal Govt and if you can just quit your idleness and live a productive lifesfyle, this temporary high inflation locally and globally can be a blessing for you to earn more.

The basket does not have all the goods and services in the country and some of the composite items like energy-related costs, school needs etc maybe temporary price increases

I am not a lazy youth, so please educate this learned middle age man on how Nigeria happen to have very high inflation, especially when the main cause of inflation in many other countries is due to the high cost of food and energy which Nigeria has in abundant.

Inflation rises in Nigeria amid fuel scarcity and insecurity.

The hike in inflation means the purchasing power of Nigerians, some of whom live on a monthly minimum wage of less than $50, is declining.
Inflation in Africa’s most populous country soared to 16.8 percent in April, driven by fuel price increases and accelerating costs for food,

including bread and cereals, newly released data from Nigeria’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has shown.

Annual food inflation rose to 18.4 percent from 17.2 percent in March, sending the headline rate to 16.8 percent, the highest in eight months, according to the data released on Monday.

Sabadon:
In as much as disobeying traffic rules is bad, there should have been a lighter punishment or option of fine......i hate seeing grown ups cry, moreso a man, who knows thats his source of livelihood

Lighter punishment is the reason why Nigeria is in a mess today. If Niger Delta militants were arrested, Fulani and BH militants and terrorists persecuted, and corrupt politicians imprisoned with the maximum of the law, do you think Nigeria will be facing insecurity today

If this was Nigeria, he would be an elected politician.

Quintopia:
What a load of ignorant rubbish.

Every nation will BEG to have a business environment that guarantees swift profits for investors.

I'm actually an economist by training, so I can school you all day on this if required.

In the west, 80% of new businesses fail in the first 3 years, mostly due to cash flow issues and the exorbitant cost of running a business.

Is that what you're recommending for Nigeria? Businesses in Nigeria pay bills and taxes, and even provide their own back-up power supply, water etc. YET ARE STILL PROFITABLE IN NO TIME AT ALL.

The reason they are profitable is not because of any ''dysfunction'' in society. It's a simple issue of demand and supply, a huge buying market and the relative absence of monopolies.

Olodo, you said you live in the West for decades, yet you learnt nothing.

The reason why Nigeria generate no electricity and has poor infrastructure is that the country is very unproductive due to the lack of revenues to fund infrastructures and corrupt government.

Nigeria’s revenue to GDP ratio lowest in the world, says World Bank

Quintopia:
Stay there talking rubbish. You people take NIgeria for granted. You don't know what you are enjoying in Nigeria until you leave Nigeria.

In Nigeria you can wake up tomorrow and start a full-blown business, and become your own boss.

Within a short period period you're employing people!

I mean, this is something you just cannot do in the USA or UK. Their business environment is locked in to the elite class there, and is hugged and sewn up by those who were there before you.

Another ignorant Nigerian. A society where you can set up a business and be in profit in a short time is a dysfunctional society without a foundation.

Paying bills and tax is the reason why a country has infrastructures to sustain development.

Revolution2022:
His opinion.Your opinion.Case closed.

My opinion is that Nigerians are jealous, always complaining about Nigerians that have been forced to leave Nigeria to better their lives, when the problem is Nigeria's cultures and societies that have failed to build a functional economy despite being blessed with numerous resources.

Nigerians in the diaspora are not responsible for Nigeria's problems, look to the leaders that you support. Millions of Nigerians supported Buhari and look what he has done in 8 years of corrupt and poor leadership.

Sltp:
Fear the Asians. They own form of racism is still like the 15th century European racism. You're a black man? You're worth less than an ant

Black people are the most racist people to Black people, Nigerians destroyed their own country and will sell their resources and people for nothing.

Revolution2022:
Most of What he stated were true.It is not every negative things someone said is jealousy.

It is not true and he is very jealous, Nigerians in the diaspora are now one of the largest contributors to the country's GDP. Say thank you and stop being jealous.

kelechi50:
If it is a trap why is many Nigerian going there to work.
You can only share your experience with us here if you are a victim of Arabia atrocities and not hear say.

According to the UN, Arab countries practice organ trafficking and modern slavery, if someone is offering you a job out of the blue think twice

CaptainZubi:
Most of them no get money. No let anybody deceive you, obodo oyinbo no easy. The system is designed to make you work your black ass like a slave for someone, get paid with one hand then the government use another hand to collect am. Some people have lived abroad for 20 years but can't even boast of $15000 as savings. People who go there and make it big with riches they start building mansions back in nigeria are into one shady deal or the other. No let them deceive you, the money no legit. Usually wire wire, BEC, drugs, robbery and all forms of fraud.

You are just jealous and bitter.

Living in a country with no light, clean water and very limited economic prospect can be very daunting. You desperately want your friends to come to Nigeria and dash you money but they have cut off your lazy ass.

KingAzubuike:
Your children no go come your burial. Say amen.

When I am dead, I am dead. I wouldn't even know how my assets are shared beyond my will.

SergeantTitus:
Why do nigerians living abroad fail to come back to Nigeria even for Important things like their parents death, burial, brother's wedding etc? I also find it weird some remain there for 15, 20, 30 years without ever visiting home even if na just once.

What is the relevance of coming to your parent's funeral when they are already dead? Your duty is to support them when they are alive and provide the funds to support the burial, prayers and the cost of burial. Why spend an extra 2000-3000 to be there?
