They want to cash out that's why Umahi and FG are in a hurry to start the project

Is oseni rufai not cashing out already or tou think he doing PR for landmark for free, dey play

Validated:
Gilbert Chagoury and Tinubu are friends. Why would the FG headed by Tinubu award a 700 km road, bridges and rail to a single company?
Shorter roads are award about 4 to 5 contractors, why is this one special

There are more questions that Tinubu will answer on the ChagouryGate

Some you go just dey blah like say una use head hit ground as a baby

Naa enemy/foe Tinubu suppose give the contract to, everytime people just love to argue nonsense very few Nigerians think ... before asking more dumb question why not list out the laws the costal road contract as violated

i have no issue whether FG continues with the road or even cancel it .. but Nigerians should stop being a push around ... lets focus on where our shoe hurts

oseni don pocket money, he talks more on costal road than fuel scarcity or Naira fall affecting nigerians badly

Bro, people hoard currency still. Large transaction will be done in foreign currency. If we look beyond, this is even a recipe for hoarders to start hoarding hard currency.

People hoard but the truth remains its a unwise risk and unsafe from all perspectives.

Hoarders don't need a recipe to hoard e get why they bear that name naw

Good day everyone!! I am emotionally shattered as i type this message. I have been suspecting my wife for years now but no concrete evidence to confront her. There is a boss of my mine who happens to be our family friend. Each time he calls my wife, she deletes the call history immediately. This has been happening for years but i keep quite because i love my wife and my children so much. Of recent, i decided to know what is happening by hacking her call with him. Lo and behold, they are into deep relationship that my wife calls him baby. Infact, sleep has gone out of my eyes and am thinking of how to deal with the situation. It should be noted that i am not working under the man in question only that we are church members and he has rendered countless of help to me. I am wondering what puts my wife into this mess. I am graduate but i decided not to work for anybody but to focus on my farming. I am doing well financially bcs i can boost of 500k or more every month. We are not lacking anything at all. Please house ignore my typo and help with good advice. Note: i dnt want to divorce my wife and am ready to forgive her bcs she has been of great help to my success and moreover, i love my family very well. What should i do to stop them?

if you can't divorce and you are ready to forgive your wife then what other advice are you looking for abi

Oga how about you call her one on one tell her you had a dream n its so real, you saw her cheating with the MR A, that you caught them pants down and that what pained you the most was that she was not remorseful in that dream nd the marriage crashed .. then end it with babe lets pray

i hope you sabi act, @least you watch nollywood

He was saying it is not by your strength to stop and dedicate your time to doing meaningful things; that's why he said to put about 3 hours into reading the scripture every day.
When you dedicate 3hours to Bible, what other time is left for porn?
None
So he is teaching well, just that most of you do not reason deeply.

but What he said makes logical sense walahi ... na dumb people full online

I am reading comments above and laughing loud . When CBN issued the directive on currency swap that year, people were blabbing and clamoring. Many Nigerians supported agent Elrufai 001 of hell fire to fight the government and reverse the mopup policy. Tinubu will eventually settle for currency swap last last. Even if Emefiele is proven to be a thief, I believe that policy was spot on. Nigeria is badly damaged so in order to fix it, there must be ramifications we all have to put up with.

E be say that laugh suite you beta, cos your words no make ....
once the people get own of the new currency they starting hoarding again .. we keep going round in circles so how many times we go dey change currency
currency swap is a temporary measure for cash mop up but won't last if "distrust" issue between banking sectors and customers is not fully addressed, Cbn/banks need to profound policies & interest that will promote savings

Jagabanbattle:
With the latest threat by OPay and possible threat from other banks on Cryptocurrency, we are totally back to CASH regime. People will never allow you to control them which is one of the reason cryptocurrency has become popular all over the world.

Now, people will transact in CASH and never use Bank as middleman again. Any cash that goes out won’t return to the Bank anymore.

But that is totally Unsafe and Risky... should people go back to the eraof keeping cash @ home it might give rise to robbery

Imagine the mental stress that comes with carrying over 2m to go transact ... compared to just holding ur phone n transfer

On the long run hoard cash outside bank is not just detrimental to the economy it put percieved rich people in danger .. i don't see any benefit sef

This man is one of the most toxic people on social media, his content may at times be factual but his intent is always laced with bitterness and bigotry.

Every wise man will avoid his content.

So he should have allowed the losers get away with lies ojukwu was the richest abi ...

Should a wise man avoid someone that speak facts what will he gain following "chestbeaters"

LadyExcellency:
Reno is chasing shadows. When you choose to monetize your account on social media, your reason for being on the platforms changes. It's no longer about connection and providing information, it's about "Let me see how many clicks I can get so I can get paid". I wonder if his conscience still exists.

you are just being mischievous, we all know Reno to be tableshaker and he drops fact what as changed.,
if you think you know better why not discredit or expose him with yur facts

Becos reno exposes yur liein asses you are crying conscience

Great job by the Lagos Police Command, Nigeria Police Force. That was very swift! Well done to the gallant and patriotic efficient Police officers.

The Police should equally get some of the mob that burnt the two buses of innocent people and spread the lie that the men were members of the DSS and prosecute them in court. It was bad enough that such a very unfortunate event happened, adding innocent people to the casualty list is lawlessness that should not be tolerated.

Police must get to the bottom of everything that happened and ensure that they get his family justice too.

Law and order remain our watchword in Lagos. Invest in Lagos and the neighbouring SW states today for great returns on investment and enjoy the best investorfriendlyexperience in Nigeria and Africa.

nairalanda1:
AM telling you that the subsides paid are not enough as well

Government need to pay 3.7 trillion in subsides as at last year, they could only pay less than 500 million.

There is your problem.

Lets even agree the subsidy paid is enough, the funds govt have invested in power sector since 1999 .. does it reflect any progress

Money invested may not be enough, but that does not mean progress no go dey ... but with phcn we are even still struggling to generate 3000 megawatt what we had in 1999


if i need 1 million to renovate a house, even if naa 300k i give engr e suppose do something wey go depict progress .. haba !

nairalanda1:
rrr

You said or should i say insinuated that subsidies is the root of corruption i.e subsidy is the root of corruption.

I pointed out other public sectors with no subsidy but there is corruption

Like i said, even in advance countries subsidy is a common practice ... so why is Nigeria subsidy corruption prone and the ones in advance countries are not nestle for corruption ... try answer that

nairalanda1:
Subsides cause corruption..free money.

Also see my first reply to you

really ! health, humanitarian, aviation sectors is subsidy there, or corruption no dey those place

Is there anywhere you won't find corruption in Nigeria.

Do you even know in developed countries govt subsidize i.e pay subsidy

why must it be in Nigeria that subsidy is bad, and root of corruption ... it is not tenable jare

nairalanda1:
But

1. Service no dey reflect charges. We are paying 70 naira or less for something that cost 184 naira.

2. Subsidy is not enough. Government needs to be paying 3.7 trillion naira at least every year to cover resulting losses

Bro you need to understand the meaning of subsidy and the essence.

You say subsidy is not enough, all the funds govt have invested in the power sector as it reflect any change, when you are investing in something n you are not seeing an improvement will you be encouraged to do more ..

Phcn is being run like creditors just want to recoup their money and nothing more ... these are not good signs for us at all

you want to eat you must work the work ..

nairalanda1:
I wish it was a lie.

But at the moment, the cost reflective tarrif is 184 naira per kWh. 80% of consumers pay below 75 naira per kWh

That means losses of 110 naira per kWh of power sold. To cover the losses, government has to pay a subsidy of 3.7 trillion naira or more

We are paying for darkness because we aren't paying enough for 24/7 light

Would you run your business at a loss to help the poor.

That's why you buy transformers and poles and wires. You ain't paying enough for the disco to buy them in the first place

If you acknowledge govt is paying subsidy then what is the essence of the subsidy if you insist there is a LOSS.

Is subsidy not meant to cover up loss .. or is govt paying. that talk of losing 110 per/kwh is INVALID abeg

Nigerians are paying for darkness becos of embezzlement and diversion of funds call it "corruption" ...

I insist service should reflect charges, if i enter a barber shop n the charge is 50k ... i must see service and an environment that reflect the price ...
you can't charge me 50k for haircut base on 3D of what to expect when next i come

nairalanda1:
Respectfully, I disagree

The experts have repeatedly stated that our lack of a cost reflective tarrif is why we don't have good enough power.

We are paying less than 70 naira per kWh, meanwhile the cost reflective tarrif is supposed to be 184 naira per kWh

In 2019, we were.paying between 20 to 30 naira per kWh. Cost reflective tarrif was 58 naira at least.

I agree most of us are poor and I agree most of us have never had good government, but you cannot run a power company at a loss and expect miracles

Indeed many discos have fallen because of low profit. The nesi owes the gas companies trillions of naira.

Even the corruption and lack of planning is a result of lack of profitability. Similar things do not exist in sectors that are allowed to set their prices because it would harm their bottom line.

The only way this system we have can work is if government raises tax to gdp above 30% or even 50 % or more. Especially since a subsidy of at least 3 Trillion naira per annum is needed. But sadly that is not possible. Even fighting corruption, which we got to do, and must do, won't raise the cash. And no investor is going to come and invest in a sector where 80% of people are paying below the cost reflective tarrif. I mean it harms their bottom line.

We need money to harness all that latent gas and hydro power. And unless government is ready to raise money via taxes, nothing will change.

God knows I wish there was another way. I effing wish so.

i also disagree with you, for all the tariff you quoted you failed to put into cognisance GOvt subsidize power i.e there is a subsidy regime which Phcn as never debunked

The main setback in the power sector is "corruption" lets call a spade a spade

Everywhere in the world cost reflective tariff is subservient to service reflective tariff ... if Phcn is serious about cost reflective tariff then let Nigerians see a convincing infrastructural development that can guarantee stable supply

nairalanda1:
It's because we don't want to pay market price for electricity

Other African countries do that, that is why they have better power outcomes. We don't, here we are.

You get what you pay for. No profit , no money to fix transmission and generation.

Right now, we should be paying 184 per kWh . Apart from band a, most of us pay 50 to 70 naira per kWh. That's 80% of consumers. Naturally no profit is made, and government subsidies are not enough.

And gas suppliers are getting fed up with being owed.

That is a big lie, efficiency must preceeds charges, what we see in other countries is "Service reflective tariff" ...
they want Nigerians to pay more, but the infrastructures on ground is not convincing

No country pays for darkness like Nigerians, it is fraud-like to ask people to pay more with the hope service will improved

Scarcity234:
Avoiding unnecessary fights, minding ones business is the reason Nigeria has continued to rot.

If we all can stand up like this young man and demand for a change, Nigeria would be better.

If mind your business won't go down well, @least Nigerians should learn how to apply "discretion"

Competing with lower prices is bad for Air Peace brand strategy.

Those guys probably think that you will offer lower prices in order to undercut your competitors so they will rather force you to transfer those charges to your customers. This is not market buying and selling/trading business where you stand in the corner of the market to call your neighbors' customers to one corner, offer your own goods to the customer at lower prices so that you can snatch those customers from your competitors, this is a heavily regulated service sector.

For as long as the charges are not discriminatory then do not complain rather compete fairly with your competitors by providing excellent service and international aviation travel national sentiments.

May God bless Nigeria for ever!Check my signature for free stuffs!

These is not just about snatching customers, Air peace share the same ideology as BoVAS filling station ... there stand is "We can do the righting and still make profit to remain in business. Bovas is a good sample
I don't know why businessmen think if they are not exploiting customers then there is no profit

what makes market look like market is "competitive Prices " ... but what we have in Nigeria as market is a cult temple where sellers gang up

DMerciful:
The bulk of Nigeria population is not enlightened, so it was easy, with enough money to pay media and influencers, gaslight and deceive the public.

They were even telling the public that there was nothing like subsidy. Buhari said if anybody says he is subsidizing anything, that person is a fraud and you know how much northerners trust Buhari.

A prominent politician said petrol should be N40 and Fashola said theh can fix electricity for good in six months, that it was not rocket science.

America supported the opposition because GEJ govt had passed antigay law in 2014.

The North introduced massive insecurity because they said GEJ promised to contest hust one term.

Finally, if you decide to pretend you don't know these things, I can't help you

So you need to be enlightened to know if you are bellefull know

An illiterate that is rich does not know that he is rich, ... make una dey reason b4 una go post naw

whatever the opposition said during GEJ is what it should be, we told GEJ to bring down the prices of things down to how he met it and that is what Nigerians are telling tinubu now ... or are we speaking latin

The last time Tinubu showed himself to crowd in Lagos, did he get a pleasant remark from the yorubas

Did Southsouth ever criticize GEJ to his face, or did the north tell Buhari ebin pa waa

if East never saw any thing wrong in whatever GEJ does, how will they when there son occupy aso rock

DMerciful:
Why do you guys like gaslighting yourselves?

Rising tide lifts all boats and the Nigerian economy was growing steadily from Obj to Yaradua to GEJ until APC came. Nigerians were getting richer on average until APC came to reverse it.

Data does not lie. Even the minister of finance said the last time the economy grew was GEJ's time. APC knew they stood no chance against GEJ, they had to kidnap chibok girls which unfortunately spiraled out of control

lemme ask, if you are living comfortably well and acquiring wealth ...can a stranger walk up to you n convince you that you are poor/wretched

If Nigerians were doing so well under GEJ, how can APC convince us we are not ...when our Lives can tell

The way some people carry these GEJ matter for head, one would think Nigeria was eldorado then ... if GEJ knows and he is convinced he did so well why did he not "recontest" ... the APC handcuff him
You hate APC so much becos of GEJ, but same jonathan wines and dine with Tinubu .. should that not tell you the joke is on you.

Brendaniel:
And you did trial and error with the V-boot... the same way Tinubu and Buhari are doing, that's why you are ok with them doing trial and error with over 200 million people

The reason why God created man last is because God's work is perfect not trial and error, going by your analogy then we don't need to go to school, we should practice on the Job with trial and error... God is not Tinubu or Buhari, there is a reason why we learn to do....

And lastly Tinubu was the worst candidate in the entire ballot among all the contestant, wrongest person as candidate, I will be more comfortable with an ss3 headboy as candidate on ballot than Tinubu, the problem with you guys supporting Tinubu is you people don't know him...

Again you want to tell me that Buhari was better than Jonathan?

Read my comment from last year immediately Tinubu was sworn in, the red flags on Tinubu were just too much for any right thinking person not to see....

I know your type, no point carrying on with these conversation.

DMerciful:
Tinubu already damaged his presidency for good by taking rash policy decisions. Unless he is able to improve prices of all things he took over from Buhari, he will be deemed as failed

You can't damage was is not working, Nigeria was tagged jaga jaga even b4 buhari

I agree BAT took some rash decisions, but no one will transform or renovate the country without Nigerians undergoing pain

True change will bring pains to Nigeriana which is inevitable but the only problem i have with these administration is .. only the poor are asked to sacrifice whereas the politicians are just enjoying like its no man business

i don"t think Peter obi or Obedient are against infrastructural development rather what THEY (obi & children) don't want is BAT administration to succeed ...

Ahead of 2027, any goal BAT administration score is an away goal that count against Peter OBi

think about it, should tinubu succeed in 4yrs of what relevance will Peter Obi be

Brendaniel:
Best options, Buhari and Tinubu were your best options ?

Do you buy a car to give your child who has not learnt how to drive yet?

available options is what decides best,

The highest score in a class determines the best student, i.e if the highest score is 39/100 that is the best student ...simple analogy

Yes ! cos my own father gave me is benz V-boot to learn driving.

there is a reason the last thing God created was Man ... think bro

BigIyanga:
And it’s not going to be done in PBAT tenure. This project will take another 30-40yrs to complete … when the President could have been adding 2500 MW per annum to the national grid.. 10k MW in 4yrs.. Another 4 yrs 10K MW.. in. 8yrs, he would have added 20k MW…it means economic and industrial clusters like Lagos, Agbara, PHC, Warri, Aba, Onitsha, Kano, Kaduna, Abuja, Benin etc will tripple their output.. more jobs and 💰💰 for Nigerians.

This is a just a way to compensate his cronies.. Chagourys in buillding Eko Atlantic… most importantly, to tipple their real estate appreciation value.

So you are against a project that is more tenable to achieve but you want govt to invest money in a power sector that as proven to be a bottomless pit, since the days of OBJ till now do you know how govt have spent yet nothing to show .. power grid is still below 5000mw
Are nigerians not enjoying 2nd Niger bridge today, and did it take 40yrs like the nonsense you are quoting

What ignoramous like you don't know is a good road network have great impact on production and prices of goods which are the integral parts of economic activities

Brendaniel:
That's the mistake you guys keep making, no wonder you people could support Buhari for 8 years and now Tinubu...

How can you say infrastructure before human development, it is human development before infrastructure.

That's why you have so many infrastructures in Nigeria that are not utilized or vandalized by the people the government failed to develop

Oga quash that lame talk, the most important thing is they seem to be the best option among other options
Maybe you don"t understand what an "enabling environment" means .... cos where will that human developed thrive if infrastructures are not readily on ground
Do you think it was after God created man he started planting food ... you need to think

Brendaniel:
That's the problem wit you guys, you guys keep prioritizing infrastructure over human development, infrastructure is good but how do you justify having a second Niger bridge from the government and yet your minimum wage from the same government cannot buy you 1 bag of rice, not even half bag of rice?

Thank God you used the word might for Peter Obi....

Bros the horse suppose be before the cart naw, infrastructure defines an enabling environment,

its important to know human capital investment and all forms of investment can only thrive in an enabling environment.

PressMyButton:
Dangote collected dollars at cheaper rates from Emefiele, we know all that but Dangote is still doing big things and we appreciate him for that and that's why he was appointed a member of Jagaban's economic team. However, every sensible individual knows we can't afford to keep official rate at 460 while parrallel rate at 780 with huge monthly subsidy, thereby making few unscrupulous elements overnight billionaires through dollar arbitrage at a time 97% of our revenue were used in servicing debts. Definately, we can't continue like that.

there was a time these analysis would make sense to some us, but since tinubu unbox and expose us to some of the policies we have seen it just a fruitless seed

Everytime we applaud a policy thinking it affects the rich, it turns out screw the poor class the most.

We can't continuing subsidizing for the poor cos few people are benefiting but our politicians can continue living there wastage of public funds on extravagant lifestyle

They tell the poor masses to sacrifice but nothing on the govt/politicians side depict they are ready to "manage"

emkz:
That one sef? Just watch anything they do, you'd see they'd take a side as if they have a personal fight inside.

I think they are fully aware their relevance is highly dependent on "being controversial" ...
it's intentional

emkz:
How did she rattle him?

She asked a question and he responded. He made a joke and that was interpreted as rattling?

Arise News may need to explain if their interest is for the public good or they are seeking to protect their client.

The angst against the project by Arise News journalists and aspiring journalists us reminiscent of the same Arise News supporting Emefiele’s manipulating of the naira to scuttle someone's ambition. It also reminds us of their proprietor attacking the presidential candidate of one party to interfere in elections because the candidate refused to attend his PR debates for PDP or allow himself to be interviewed by his biased media outlet.

Let us also remember that this same Arise News did not give any media coverage to the arrest of Godwin Emefiele.

The sudden posturing for public probity is suspect.

Arise News, what is your interest in this matter? Did this guy pay you for PR against the government?

You no add the mmiesoma vs jamb saga, that was the point i gave up on that TV station
