Very confused folks....why can't they scrap that NNPC

DeLaRue:
Is the NLC above the law?

Are they saying their Chairman is too big to be invited by the Police.

The man has not been charged with anything. Just invitation.


You are one of the many problems this country is facing at the moment.
Which law empowered police to invade one's office, cart away sensitive document and bring out trump charges?
Can you point or direct me to the section of the constitution where your evidence are being destroyed even before they manufactured charges against you?
Stupid and mad people supporting rubbish.

In a shocking turn of events, the Nigerian Senate, through their official X handle, @NGRSenate, announces the dumping of Labour Party by Ezenwa Onyewuchi, the lawmaker representing Imo-East Senatorial district.

Following a recent trend of unwholesome announcements made from official government handles on twitter, the post reads

"Labour Party Senator Joins APC

Ezenwa Onyewuchi, lawmaker representing Imo-East Senatorial District, has dumped the Labour Party (LP), for the All Progressives Congress (APC)."

This development was greeted with backlash from citizens, over the desecration of official handles under the APC government. Majority labelled it a direct affront on Labour Party, citing that Ifeanyi Ubah, the senator representing Anambra South, defected from the YPP but didn't even get as much as a mention on the same handle.

https://x.com/NGRSenate/status/1816156377565520302?t=fMPjrx9s_lc2OFJdj4LnuA&s=19[/quote]Labour party should sue and call him back, let him wait for APC ticket in 2027

IGP Egbetokun you see that you don't even know your constitutional responsibility? This is where the intelligence of the famous CID/FIB or Police Special Branch ought to have infiltrate the den of these treasonable bandits cum terrorists to eliminate this menace.

But your obsession is protesters demanding good governance from the failed government your are trying in futility to entrench. SMH!

MossadAgent:
I have read several posts here by the usual Obidient mob calling for mass violent protests similar to that that shook Kenya.

It should be noted that their planned violent protest has one of its key demands being violent overthrow of the current administration.

This has been the reoccurring theme in all the topics created by the deranged Obidients that has advanced as their key reason to "protest" : an overthrow of the incumbent democratically elected civilian adminstration.

Your rights to protest in a democratic setting ends when your demands are for the overthrow of the current administration, a scenario that will usher in the end of our democratic system.

This is not only high treason and sedition but exposes the antidemocratic tendencies of the Obidient mob, whom I have been warning here since they reared their ugly heads are filled to the brim with deranged Marxists.

They never got over the elections. They have openly refused to accept the outcome of both the final polling results and it's affirmation by the judiciary to whom(judiciary) has come under severe gaslighting by the mob.

They have been at the vanguard calling for extra-constitutional means to unseat the current adminstration and were the only ones calling upon our military to replicate and domesticate the coup wave sweeping the continent here in Nigeria.

You must understand that they are not in any way a democratic people nor do they uphold our democracy nor judiciary in any regards.

They have waged emotional blackmail on those of us who never supported nor voted for their failed Messiah and annoyingly to their own foolish chagrin, have unwittingly and unknowingly accepted their candidate was rejected by majority of Nigerians in the manner at which they insult and degenerate Nigerians for voting Tinubu. Here are a people (it you call them that) who claim their messiah was rigged out only for them to open threads and posts here every single day insulting Nigerians for not voting their "president".

They have refused to accept the elections and have been at the forefront calling for a coup.

They are a seditious treasonous band of antidemocratic Anarcho-Marxists whom we should all see and treat as terrorists.

This governor is confused and incompetent. this was what I wrote here several weeks ago he should have done.There is no need reinstating sanusi as emir and dissolving other Emirates created by Ganduje.He should have simply dethroned the emir not loyal to him and face the business governance in Kano.

Newsflash, it is not up to Israel to decide the destiny of the Palestinians with respect to becoming a nation in the world.

It is up to the league of nations, the will eventually be a Palestine nation.

Mark my words today.

You and Israelites can fight it but you will not succeed.

Doyin Okupe wouldn't have done anything different.

Buhari removed fuel subsidy before handing over to PBAT.. subsidy paymemt wasn't in the budget for 2023 when Tinubu came in. The sore losers blaming PBAT over subsidy removal, especially those Northerners going on TV programs are only playing petty politics. PBAT being the smart politician that he is decided to echo "No more subsidy" in his swearing in speech to send clear message to those who might want to lobby for subsidy to be reintoduced for their own selfish gains.

Soon Nigerians will appreciate PBAT when some of our refineries become fully functional and we won't have to rely on import of petroleum products again.

With PBAT's drive in infrastructure and accountability in the solid minerals sector, Nigerians will soon start rejoicing. Those who know the man's brilliance when he was Lagos State Governor are at peace knowing Nigeria is in capable hands.

NwaNimo1:
The Presidency has reacted to a report published in the New York Times criticising the Nigerian economy as facing the worst trajectory in a generation.

Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Sunday reacted to the report credited to Ruth Maclean and Ismail Auwal’s.

According to the Presidency, the feature story with the title, ‘Nigeria Confronts Its Worst Economic Crisis in a Generation’, published on June 11, reflected the typical predetermined, reductionist, derogatory and denigrating way foreign media establishments reported African countries for several decades.

The Special Adviser on Information and Strategy said because of the ‘misleading’ slant of the report, the government needed to clear up some misconceptions conveyed by the reporters as regards the economic policies of the President Bola Tinubu administration that came into power at the end of May 2023.

He said one significant aspect of the report was that it painted the dire experiences of some Nigerians amid the inflationary spiral of the last year and blamed it all on the policies of the new administration.

He also said the report, based on several interviews, is at best jaundiced, all gloom and doom, as it never mentioned the positive aspects in the same economy as well as the ameliorative policies being implemented by the central and state governments.

[b]Onanuga went on to say that Tinubu did not create the economic problems Nigeria faces today.

According to the presidential aide, Tinubu inherited them.

“As a respected economist in our country once put it, Tinubu inherited a dead economy. The economy was bleeding and needed quick surgery to avoid being plunged into the abyss, as happened in Zimbabwe and Venezuela,” he noted.
[/b]
Onanuga said this was the background to the policy direction taken by the government in May/June 2023: the abrogation of the fuel subsidy regime and the unification of the multiple exchange rates.

According to the presidential aide, for decades, Nigeria had maintained a fuel subsidy regime that gulped $84.39 billion between 2005 and 2022 from the public treasury in a country with huge infrastructural deficits and in high need of better social services for its citizens.

Onanuga also alleged that the state oil firm, NNPCL, the sole importer, had amassed trillions of Naira in debts for absorbing the unsustainable subsidy payments in its books.

He said by the time Tinubu took over the leadership of the country, there was no provision made for fuel subsidy payments in the national budget beyond June 2023.

“The budget itself had a striking feature: it planned to spend 97 percent of revenue servicing debt, with little left for recurrent or capital expenditure. The previous government had resorted to massive borrowing to cover such costs. Like oil, the exchange rate was also being subsidized by the government, with an estimated $1.5 billion spent monthly by the CBN to ‘defend’ the currency against the unquenchable demand for the dollar by the country’s import-dependent economy.

“By keeping the rate low, arbitrage grew as a gulf existed between the official rate and the rate being used by over 5000 BDCs that were previously licensed by the Central Bank. What was more, the country was failing to fulfil its remittance obligations to airlines and other foreign businesses, such that FDIs and investment in the oil sector dried up, and notably Emirate Airlines cut off the Nigerian route,” he said.

Onanuga said to deal with the cancer of public finance, Tinubu on his first day rolled back the subsidy regime and the generosity that spread to neighbouring countries. Then, his administration floated the naira.

He said, “After some months of the storm, with the naira sliding as low as N1,900 to the US dollar, some stability is being restored, though there remain some challenges. The exchange rate is now below N1500 to the dollar, and there are prospects that the naira could regain its muscle and appreciate to between N1000 and N1200 before the end of the year.

“The economy recorded a trade surplus of N6.52 trillion in Q1, as against a deficit of N1.4 trillion in Q4 of 2023. Portfolio investors have streamed in as long-term investors. When Diageo wanted to sell its stake in Guinness Nigeria, it had the Singaporean conglomerate, Tolaram, ready for the uptake. With the World Bank extending a $2.25 billion loan and other loans by the AfDB and Afreximbank coming in, Nigeria has become bankable again. This is all because the reforms being implemented have restored some confidence.

“The inflationary rate is slowing down, as shown in the figures released by the National Bureau of Statistics for April. Food inflation remains the biggest challenge, and the government is working very hard to rein it in with increased agricultural production.

“The Tinubu administration and the 36 states are working assiduously to produce food in abundance to reduce the cost. Some state governments, such as Lagos and Akwa Ibom, have set up retail shops to sell raw food items to residents at a lower price than the market price.

“The Tinubu government, in November last year, in consonance with its food emergency declaration, invested heavily in dry-season farming, giving farmers incentives to produce wheat, maize, and rice. The CBN has donated N100 billion worth of fertiliser to farmers, and numerous incentives are being implemented. In the western part of Nigeria, the six governors have announced plans to invest massively in agriculture.

“With all the plans being executed, inflation, especially food inflation, will soon be tamed.

“Nigeria is not the only country in the world facing a rising cost of living crisis. The USA, too, is contending with a similar crisis, with families finding it hard to make ends meet. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen raised this concern recently. Europe is similarly in the throes of a cost-of-living crisis. As those countries are trying to confront the problem, the Tinubu administration is also working hard to overturn the economic problems in Nigeria.

“Our country faced economic difficulties in the past, an experience that has been captured in folk songs. Just like we overcame then, we shall overcome our present difficulties very soon.”

Chaiii

This scenario fits well for Tinubu and shetty.
Hopefully, this fate awaits them nextmonth.

Btw, watch as bloggers overflog the biography of this Malawian president in the coming days

EponObi:
With all due respect, Rev. Alia, you are the fucking executive governor of Benue state. The Beune people have suffered for way too much, for too much to be listening to another sob story. You knew the job would be hard and tough given the state of affairs before campaigning for this seat.

You are not doing your citizens a favour by paying their salaries and pensions, so stop the pity party. The elite fought you or not is no one's concern, your civil servants only care about getting paid. EOD.

Toying with Benue people with lambas about some Fulani herdsman, or Buhari, or some vague elites should wither with the last administration. Governance, bro. Not story. Not excuse. Not pity party.

Benue has rotten to a point that all hands should to be on deck round the clock to reverse the decomposition process. You shouldn't have time to tell tales, lies or not.

Potential Impact on Beef Prices
Implementing large-scale ranching could significantly increase the cost of beef due to the high expenses associated with establishing and maintaining ranches.These would make Nigerian cows too expensive for purchase as cows from Niger and other neighboring countries practicing open grazing will be cheaper in the open market.

Suggested Practical Solutions
Designated Grazing Areas: Allocate specific areas for grazing to prevent clashes while allowing pastoralists to continue traditional herding methods.
Conflict Resolution Mechanisms: Establish local committees to mediate disputes between farmers and herders, promoting peaceful coexistence.
Cooperative Farming: Encourage farmers and herders to form cooperatives, sharing resources and knowledge to improve productivity and harmony.
Community-Based Animal Health Services: Provide mobile veterinary services to support herders, reducing the need for long migrations and potential conflicts.
These solutions aim to be cost-effective and fair to both cattle herders and farmers, ensuring sustainable practices and reducing conflicts.

Labour demand is much. They should accept 60/70 as minimum wage



Oh they should pay them 400,000 they asked for?
Na stage 2 inflation you de call for. Have you studied the Expectational Augmented Philip curve theory?
Have you studied the wage wage price spiral theory?


Can the government cought out this money you called without going back to print more money?
If what labour is asking for Is implemented it's to cost 10 trillion monthly. Does Nigeria has that money to push out?



The government should look for ways to increase productivity, that is national output.
They should look for ways to tackle insecurity so that farmers can grow food.
They should look for ways out all federal roads in order to transport foods, goods from North to South.

They should look for ways to be transparent in oil production. Ensures they partner with dangote to bridge the gap that exist in oil import.

If all this are tackle alongside corruption mostly among state government then real wage will increase.

There is a difference between real wage n money wage. ... Search that in Internet to learn more.

Doyin2:
That’s not how to run an economy.

So what happens when prices go down?

An employer pays salary based on capacity and capability to pay .This stupid And unnecessary NLC comedy,was never envisioned by the minimum wage law.

How many eligible private companies have the capacity and capability of a 200% jump in their wage bill??

Essentialbrand:
They simply don't care about the masses.

Upon all the hardship they are claiming in paying workers, they refused to reduced their exorbitant salaries and bonuses for doing nothing.

Barteze:
Increase of 200% of current #30,000 minimum wage is #90,000. Will that be enough?
