Just as border closure did. Dollar rate has significantly reduced. We now enjoy a favourable balance of payment.👍

That border closure helped Nigeria even if it had its negative impacts.

It's many failures can't be attributed to the federal executive but rather the agencies and people who ought to be responsible for implementing the border restrictions who took bribes are were complicit in the lapses.

It was to enforce sovereign policy to our neighbours

seborrhic:
Of course but brain challenged imps were jumping up and down saying when Dangote comes on stream petrol would sell for ₦300 because Nigeria won't be importing fuel again with foreign exchange!
I won't even be surprised if it becomes more costly to buy a litre of Dangote fuel,than to import it.If you query it they would tell you that selling anything below current price the refinery would run at a loss and won't be able to pay it's debts.Also selling at anything below dollar based pricing would encourage smuggling across the borders.
That is the Nigerian way of things:contradictions and "upsidededness".

It must fe sold at market value to stop snuggling, the benefits would be FX control and guaranteed supply.

abhosts:
Yes, it can be cheaper if the government intervenes by supplying crude oil at a discounted rate to refineries.

a.k.a subsidy

Moyinoluwa35:
Nobody is taking about the hardship in nigeria, everyone is okay, during good luck time economic was not this hard and good luck wanted to remove subsidy alot of people came out to protest, but here now things are hard and the government remove subsidy nobody want to protest.
Is Nigeria really okay with this hardship?
Where is the strength of the youth??

It's the economic failures of Goodluck compounded by the misgivings of Buhari that has us in this conditions.

That is why economic policies and long term planning is important because the effects at the micro and macro levels are felt long after the actors have departed the stage.

We first went into a recession that consumed the bulk of our foreign reserve as Jonathan exited the stage when NOI had publicly declared just before the electiond that Nigeria had two quarters of negative growth as buhari took office we entered a recession, it was buhari lack of understanding of basic economics and his dependence on people like Emefiele that lead us into having to defend the Naira using out foreign reserve abd we entered a rollet coaster ee ate syill yet to disembark.

Buhari had two nasty recession to battle and he turned both around but at a cost which we are now getting to know due to the detention of Emefiele. Once Kemi Adeosun was out of the picture there were no brakes in place, no checks and balancing.

Cruzmaster:
Can we please remind Yoruba Muslims that Anambra state detest mud houses. Unlike what we have in their region We don't want mud houses in our land. We should inform them that we help ourself that's why we are Igbos ✌️✌️✌️

There is nothing like Yoruba Muslim they your filthy hatred abd division back to the east where you differentiate between your Imo and Abia - Enugu Igbo.

You bitter lousy lot have emerged like wood worms that you are since the elections.

Abagworo:
It's worth it going by present cost of building materials. Giving is not easy so I honor whoever gives

Seriously commendable. The fact however is many more should endeavour to get involved in charity rather than acquiring one more new car to add to the fleet which they barely drive.

At whatever level you find yourself do something charitable

HeadNigga:
So this solves the problem of "how much will it cost to build a bungalow"

12.5m is the answer

I don't think such a building should need 12.5m something around 5-6m should do. Still a steep sum for 10 buildings at 60m

Lordave:
But but Igbo people don't like themselves... Always killing each other, they don't even sell lands to themselves and non Igbos.


The anthem of a depressed, poverty stricken South Wasterner.

Wetin concern south west for this your songs of lamentations. The act of charity was done in Anambra the beneficiaries are from Anambra.

obicoolnino:
Sub standard weapons I guess....do we even have weapons manufacturing industry here in Nigeria?

Ever heard of DICON, and I think they should have specified.
Very good they are making their own UAVs , frankly automation and the parts to make a decent surveillance UAV are readily available from the radionics to the imaging systems from Turkey, Iran , SA and china.

Ozommadu:


So you didn't know all these when you were occupying Ojota in 2012??

Jonathan removed fuel subsidy and fuel was selling #145 but all hell was let loose, now tinubu is there and fuel is selling @680 and you suddenly realise nobody is a magician...aren't you deceitful??

Jonathan wrecked the economy with his policies and NOI's IMF style policies without restraint.

Buhari reversed it recklessly without restraint too thanks to Emefiele, Adiza & all his phsycophantic advisers. I'll wait and see where Tinubu wants to place his policies but to suggest that the slide has only been since this new administration is totally deceitful.

Jonathan removed the subsidy on new year's day without prior adequate notification most people. That January was the first time 98% of the population knew that there was something called subsidy or that Nigeria even paid a subsidy on PMS and Diesel, since then diesel subsidy was removed before this recent PMS removal

tesppidd:
I don't understand your question.

Wike was interested in being VP to Fulani Atiku.

Ortom himself confirmed it.
Dino confirmed it.

How could a man who was interested in VP to a Fulani be telling us he was fighting for Southern presidency?

Are we idiots or kids in this country?

Okay Wike is lying is that your conclusion, what of the remaining G5 did they all want to be VP too. Fayose and Makinde also wanted to be VP to Atiku ! Or Donald Duke etc Ort.wanted to be VP too, his own kinsman was the PDP chairman

tesppidd:
Quit with all this gibberish.

Ortom was the chairman of the committee which threw the PDP ticket open, to both North and South. Ortom read out the communique and happily declared it was a concensus agreement that the ticket should be thrown open.

Ortom was still the same chairman of the committee tasked with picking a running mate for Atiku between Udom, Okowa and Wike.
Ortom was on record lamenting that they proposed Wike to Atiku but Atiku picked Okowa, and that was what made Wike angry.

Whatever happened at the convention is not my business.

My point is that Wike was to be pacified with the VP position.

When Atiku rejected him, he got angry and began pretending to be fighting for Southern presidency.

Let's assume without conceding that PDP did a shoddy job with the zoning but if Wike really was fighting for Southern presidency he should have proven his integrity by rejecting the nomination to be VP to Atiku.
Wike has always been pretentious, cunning, mischievous and hypocritical.

Common you are too old and I believe too educated to be falling for Wike's lies, pretences and antics.

Do tell why then did Ortom join the G5. He did make a few public statements when entertaining Obi.

jaxxy:


ok interesting but do government offices and establishments have same safety standards?

or this only applies to event centres?

Most government offices don't accommodate over 1000 people who are halfway intoxicated, some with mobility issues, with many tables and chairs present acting as obstruction.

The only one building run by government I can think of that may have an issue would be an hospital and they do have a dedicated safety officer whose responsibility "should be" conducting a survey and making plans.

I think there was an incident recently at a federal government hospital where the fire hydrant didn't work because the officer in charge had failed to conduct maintenance.

Decarbonisation:


Nigeria pays you, fu...cking idi...ot!
Is Buhari not a confirmation of that?
I am sure you have claimed money you didnt work for too, so what is your point?
Fu..ck your country, its leaders and its largely docile + valueless citizens, corrupt vagabonds!

In this part of the world if you don't go to work because of illness, your employer is only obligated to cover a certain number of if sick days as stipulated in your contract.

If the injury was sustained at work they may cover some of your wages if you'll be on an extended period off more than 3 months, the rest is covered either by your income protection insurance, health insurance or the social welfare office.

But if you opt not to work none of the above can cover your wages not even social welfare office. Many companies don't even offer maternity pay in these so called "developed" countries, no be even that US where employment laws are so weak and do next to nothing to protect the employee.

tsdarkside:
who pays you in the entire world when you dont work....??

how is this news....??

It should be the responsibility of the Union to cover the pay of workers if and when to decide to go on an extensive strike.

jaxxy:


ok these are good requirements but have they made them aware of these standards cos many events centres don't know or have these requirements especially when building or starting up.

anyways I agree with u on the safety standards.

Lagos state has a fire safety inspection agency that I know. In Nigeria many people do things without proper order, many event centres don't even have adequate insurance, that's why it's such a money spinner because the overheads are small, the only major overhead is diesel for the generator.

Rowe wait till a major fire incident happens and over 500 people perish because there is no adequate evacuation plan, and that can happen and how it is yet to happen does bewilder me atimes.

tesppidd:
You ought to have gone past this lie by now and stopped fooling your age.

If Wike had emerged as Atiku's running mate there would have been no G5.

That can't be proven and it has never been mentioned, however of what we know is true is that Southern governors across party devife meet twice between 2018 and 2021 and put out a public communiqué which stated an agreement of southern presidency.

Wike lost the PDP ticket under dubious circumstances to Atiku and felt cheated, the G5 fallout is as a consequence of that.
Wike was not offered the VP slot that is a fact but not once did he ever state publicly that such influenced his struggle, of what we know that has been said publicly

- Wike was angered at the loss of the PDP ticket

- Wike had 4 supporting governors including Ortom was oversaw that nonsense shoddy committee on zoning which permitted Atiku to contest and others like Fayose, Odili, Duke etc

- G5 Stance was Southern presidency and this was made known in multiple media communications Wike even granted a seat down with journalist it was over 1hr long.

- Wike wanted PDP chairman to step down

- Ortom and SE G5, Bode George etc supported Obi publicly and advocated for him.

- Wike, Fayose, Makinde etc supported Tinubu, while he didn't declare his intention before election day it was evident, he had meet Tinubu a few times and must have come to an agreement with him, and he put a plan in place which he actualised on election day.

It's politics and those are some of the intrigues involved, it's neither the first time in history nor is it particularly sinister of events

Irony1:


Dude don't gaslight me. You said Peter Obi sold us a fake story, so in response I asked you the One Tinubu sold to you that made you vote him is good abi!!!! Look just go and rest gaslighting doesn't work on me.

Did I tell you I voted for Tinubu ! Your sensibilities never caused you to reason that Tinubu and Obi could be equal liars.

You're the one gaslighting here, you can't make an arrangement on the basis of facts.

jaxxy:
I find this suspicious and strange. Are we in covid or what?

You read safety s d you're asking if it's covid.
Many of those event centre don't have adequate emergency exit or fire control mechanism.

By standard all should have a sprinkler system installed, must have periodic safety checks and have an emergency exit plan in place for all events with more than 250 guests

soccerlite:


An Aspirant for president of nigeria turn dindinrin

Lolzzzzz

Should he be beyond having a few moments of joy and happiness. He's not committed a crime or done something so despicable. It is evident he's trying to be comedic I'd even say he's engaged in some sort of sacarsm to entertain his friend gbaja

izubext007:
Look at what former governor wike has reduced him self to, to the extent he is the one opening do for that small boy .

The man is humble you claim he is opening door for a political aid as being below him.
Is that not the same "simplicity" you hail your Anambra gbajue for

OkayDaddy:


Gbaja is a dual-qualified lawyer. Wike is a Life Bencher.
You on the other hand are trying to use 6 sittings to get 5 credits.

I think he has an issue in the US, rather mundane but he didn't treat it with the seriousness it otherwise required and lost his cert to practice law.

SALLYBERRY01:
The remaining clowns that was forming G5 with him will be regretting now

Of the G5 himself, Makinde and their clique supported Tinubu while the rest like Ortom.supported Obi openly as was agreed. The principle of the G5 was Southern presidency.

Both Makinde and Wike have been rewarded for that loyalty, Makinde got second term in a landslide at the expense of the APC candidate likewise Wike with FCT minister and a lot of his loyalist are getting federal appointment

Supremos:
And you didn't see "allegedly" in the post?

You can't use allegedly when it is absolutely certain that such can not be proven with the evidence at hand.
You've done so to mislead the many ignorant readers who can't distinguish and its most unfortunate and wicked.

I don't know why people are so shameless and without the principle.

Dmama1991:
You see why I always castigate these tribe,they are evil just imagine this yaribans tribe that mine skull and kill people anyhow for money rituals, please if you are south south and south east leaving in Yoruba land please protect self because children from sadwest do rituals anyhow tuee I spilt on these tribe

You spilt on the tribe !

Irony1:
so the one Tinubu sold to you is good abi. Stop this demonstration of stupidity abeg.

What did he sell to me, you're not making sense

Ozommadu:


Lol, na only me dey buy rice #50k abi fuel #680?? You can never use your senses, no be like this you take vote and defend buhari for 8 wasted years?

What does that have to do with anything. We've been buying at ridiculous prices before he came unless you want him to enter the five fields in the north strike the ground with a staff like Moses and command rice to grow within one week then command it to reach the market magic.

The isries behind food production and high prices is beyond inflation or FX it has element of logistics, security,financing etc CBN has come out of the latter after many years of anchor borrowers thankfully

Melagros:
Emefiele was/is incarcerated for naira scarcity but the naira scarcity persists to this day, so who's fooling who?

There is definitely no naira scarcity in Nigeria

crossfm:
Hehehe.

Nigeria government don't obey court orders,but want Nigerians to obey and respect the judiciary .
As for the idea that he failed to secure his bail,just da play, even if he bring people who have billions,they won't grant him bail without the approval of the oga on top.

Emefieli is in jail, while his boss is enjoying life. Life no balance at all.

Who in their right mind would attempt to bail a prisoner of the president, why would you invite a vendetta on yourself

This Atiku mouthpiece,he was at it before and during the elections I don't expect him to change. Tinubu can do better but some of the plans I see coming from the police is very commendable, if the IGP can realise some of the plans that'll be good

waledeji:
But they were useful when your Pandora man benefited from the same Supreme Court of technicalities and corruption .
