Guys, rest

This isnt about Igbos and the news isnt about the SE

STop involving yourselves in unrelated matters...It kills the essence of discussion

This is 2024...Evolve beyond kid bants

bro why are you quoting them as if they're the ones complaining? Face those Aboki people after all they never complained about Buhari nepotism, why are they talking about T-pain abi Buhari no do the same for south? Face them and call them out, stop being a coward 🙏

kettykin:
The only thing I saw in the reshuffle is the appointment of Mrs Bianca Ojukwu. I pray she rejects the appointment because she might come out with a dented reputation.

She might have been appointed to counter ipob and their wild goose chase or to provide a soft landing for Nnamdi kanu release.


I dont see what the government has to offer in terms of performance.

I suspect too. I pray that she rejects this appointment. Something is fishy about the appointment.

Where are those mulching miscreants shouting when will SE pay

as much as I don't like ekpa, but I actually believe him, he might not be the one behind that tweet. Just like his account here on Nairaland, someone is just impersonating him. But anyway good for him, he's a charlatan and an idiot

[quote author=haybhi1 post=132571974]He was a great man, for standing for democracy. lol, you people and your gaslighting, blackmailing and calumny. Lol

Listen Ojukwu, no Yoruba man anywhere cares about you people. We do not send you. We don't even mind what you chose to do with yourself. I dare say no Yoruba thinks about y'all enough to hate you. If Igbo man wins in Lagos and Hausa man wins in Osun, while Igbo man won in all of South eastern states then it's easy to see the cheap, unintelligent blackmail. Bro, Yorubas don't care about your existence or even the air you breathe in!

Look, we're Yorubas and education is our watchword, from the days of our founding fathers, because we're positioned with exposure. We learn from and model towards the Whites, rather than staying logged with our bitter neighbours at home. It's this reason you see Yorubas excelling in the White men's land at a ratio astronomical than other tribes around.

---

My dear, every hate you think Yorubas have for anyone in Nigeria is imaginary. I swear it only exists in your people's mind. In fact, most of us Yorubas still patronize your people (ahead of ours) like we don't care, especially if you sell at a better price than ours for the same thing or it's convenient for us because we don't even see you as rivals–this is rare among non-Yorubas. Our goals is to be great, to go far in life and achieve great things along the White men like Soyinka did, like Tope Awotona did, like Gbenga Agboola, Adebayo Ogunlesi, Eniola Aluko, Tion Wayne, https://www.nairaland.com/6531702/victory-yinka-banjo-gets-19-scholarship, and so on. We are not poised to embroil with some petty lowlifers back home who are comfortable with being local champions and winning little things. Goodluck to una sha. We'll never hate you because we're never competitors. We're not in the same lane at all.[/quote on] who the cares about you? See this ant from Ogbomosho forming lion king on Nairaland. Rich Igbos and Yorubas are getting along well building bridges while hungry riff raffs like you spend time on Nairaland spilling thrash. Abeg shift

Richtaiwo:
Rest.

To prove Nigerians should have voted grievingory Obituary right?

Now get this into your head. If the agulu fraud is the only candidate contesting against Tinubu in 2027, Tinubu will defeat him 2 hrs after commencement of voting.

That agulu fraud can be anything but president of Nigeria.

Reno Omonkey I know you are the one behind this Moniker, go and find food chop Peter Obi is not the reason for your frustrations

Bro face your shithole country and allow Americans decide who they want to vote.
Why not do an article on Why APC and Tinubu are a big cancer to Nigerians and the rest of Africa. We never solve our domestic issues na Yankee you wan educate on who them go vote? Abeg shift

why not counter and send your own troops to Ukraine

Abeg sharrap hateful bigot. Only kids, bigots, haters and unmanly men will keep up this talk of "Tinubu brought Buhari". Tinubu supported his Party affiliate who had the brightest chance of deposing GEJ who gained power courtesy of Yar Adua's death leaving the North aggrieved.

Of course it makes sense for Tinubu to support the Northerner with the brightest chance so that he too would then have the chance to be President courtesy of appreciative return support from the North.

That was politics that every mature, pragmatic, critical thinking and intelligent man would understand because they know BAT is a politician and understand politicians do whatever they have to do to gain power.

Trump is the best example of this. He dirtied and disgraced American democracy yet he is fighting to be President again with many Americans behind him. What does that tell an olodo like you?


It is like musician ls getting into fake spats and controversy before an album launch. Critical thinkers understand it is part of the game to sell music whereas kids like you will be foaming at the mouth.


Tinubu did what he had to do but he cannot read minds and certainly did not back Buhari to go and follow a Fulani and Niger Republic agenda once President. That is solely on Buhari and every sensible Nigerian would understand that.

If you want to be childish, then blame every Nigerian who voted Buhari into power. That would also confirm you don't understand democracy, I.e will of the majority, let alone respect it. Tinubu has a right to support any candidate vying for an elective office as do you and every member of NL. Man up, accept that and move on. Nigeria made a mistake with Buhari but it is asinine trying to then blame Tinubu for the actions of millions who voted Buhari as President.

Your talk confirms why Nigeria is not working. I.e majority of Nigerians are not good or progressive people. They are corrupt, bigoted, immature and deceitful people always looking to blame someone else for all that is wrong in their lives. When most Nigerians don't wish to accept the tenets of democracy then what hope for our nation? You are the ashiere you are calling our President.

it's just now that I even took my time in reading your post and oh my gosh I'm so flabbergasted and disgusted by what you wrote up there, so you mean to tell me that Tinubu mortgage the whole of SW knowing fully well that Buhari is a very useless incompetent person that has nothing upstairs just to fulfill his selfish ambition of becoming the president?? So he supported Buhari and didn't even care whether Nigeria burns or not as long as he fulfils Emilokan agenda? So you people can rather choose a poisonous snake over your own people just because of selfish ambition? I said it before even if you bring MC oluomo and Okonjo iweala una go still vote MC oluomo. Tufiakwa.. una even worse pass chameleon sef

UltraSolid:
Yes call me a Chameleon but I consider you a Mumu. It is all politics. Politicians want power. They seek power, especially when in opposition, by trying to discredit the ruling Party or President/head of State in the eyes of the electorate. This is a universal reality even smart kids understand yet some of you will keep foaming at the mouth Tinubu did this and that to GEJ.


One of the main reason Nigeria is not as greats as she should be is because her electorate, people like you, are not as intelligent or as critical thinking as they need to be. You people are always focused on sentiments, emotion and personalities rather that ideas.

You will see huge potholes outside your house and automatically shout Tinubu when your search for solution should begin with identifying your LGA chairman and then organising a residents signed petition to make him repair internal road sthat are his/her responsibility.

Ditto food security. 36 States with one FCT. You are all screaming Tinubu yet what stops governors, many in charge of huge arable land, from declaring a farming and agricultural revolution that will yield bumper harvest in even 6 to 12 months?

You people are not ready. That is why those who are pragmatic and critical thinkers still keep making it and maintaining well in the Nigeria of today.

a gentle reminder, I didn't bother to read the thrash you posted up there. You guys are bloody chameleons, unrepentant hypocrites, someone once said if your likes say to you good morning check very well it might be Night, you guys are so unreliable never trustworthy always quick to deny your actions. You guys cannot man up and face your responsibilities. Always heaping blames on others. I repeat again you guys are Chameleons a very deadly one for that matter.

Sharpsharp00123:
not everyone is as hungry as u

Don't mirror your situation on others, if food is a luxury to u then let it b don't believe it's d same everywhere

your Brother Tinubu once said he doesn't believe in one Nigeria! All of a sudden you are now an advocate for loving Nigeria just because your Tribesman is the president? Are you guys deviant or just plain undiluted hypocrites

Who doesn't know Nigeria is a useless country? Even your president knows deep down it's useless

Let them perform an autopsy on the girl to determine whether it was actually a road accident or Assault

see them! Typical chameleons, always changing narrative and story. Is it not the same Tinubu that came out in APC national convention 2014 and said for Nigeria to be saved Jonathan needs to go and Buhari is the best man for the Job. Chai who do una this thing for SW.

iwaeda:
Between 2015 and 2022, Nigeria witnessed a reversal of economic gains, as recorded by Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Yar’Adua, and Goodluck Jonathan between 1999 and mid-2015.

The World Bank disclosed this in its latest Nigeria Development Update (NDU), themed, ‘Staying the course: Progress amid pressing challenges’. It painted a grim picture of how policy inconsistency and contracting the oil sector conspired to lower the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita by about one-third between 2015 and 2022.

“Income gains from 2000-2014 were partially reversed from 2015. Inconsistent macroeconomic policies, the contracting oil sector and external shocks lowered GDP per capita by about one-third between 2015 and 2022, while comparator countries continued to prosper,” it explained.

The report noted that an unorthodox monetary and foreign exchange policy crisis contributed to the inflation surge witnessed during the period, saying the CBN maintained heavy-handed foreign exchange management and loose monetary policies, including monetary financing of the fiscal deficit and development finance interventions while parallel market exchange rate premium and inflation soared.

Also, during the Mohammadu Buhari era, the report said fiscal deficits widened and Ways and Means of financing by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) skyrocketed, forcing a rapid increase in debt pressures.

While the Bank acknowledged the economic and social hardship attributable to President Bola Tinubu’s reforms, it stated that the policies are beginning to bear positive fruits. It added: “Major policy reforms are starting to yield positive results. Despite the very large adjustments, GDP growth has been resilient and is being driven by services and slightly edged up in the first quarter of 2024, which is largely helped.

It observed that the foreign exchange reforms have achieved a market-reflective exchange rate in the official market while the foreign reserve buffer is growing with the parallel exchange rate premium closed. It added that foreign exchange turnover has nearly doubled just as foreign reserves are almost $39 billion.

CBN’s renewed focus on achieving price stability, tightened monetary policy and improved transmission mechanisms anchored on market rates have excite the global financial institution.

While sacrificing an affordable lending rate, the CBN has increased the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) by a cumulative 850 basis points since February 2024. It also substantially increased and standardised the cash reserve ratio and conducted large and market-priced open market operations (OMOs). The apex bank has also normalised standing facilities, made frantic efforts to halt new development finance loans and phased out ways and means of financing to redirect its attention to market-based debt instruments.

Whereas a revenue-driven fiscal consolidation is on course, the government fiscal deficit shrunk, thanks to contained expenditures and a surge in revenues, the report noticed. Against popular belief that fuel subsidy claims the largest chunk of government revenues, the report has a contrary opinion. It revealed that the surge in revenues believes there is still more job to be done going forward. It charged the Tinubu-led administration to maintain a unified, market-reflective exchange rate and implement a comprehensive, systematic framework for CBN foreign exchange interventions to provide clarity to market participants as to when and how CBN may buy or sell foreign exchange. Focusing on transparently supporting market liquidity and price discovery is also crucial while measures to build liquidity in the NAFEM, including easing remaining restrictions, and channelling oil-related inflows to the market should be prioritised as well, it advised.

The report also stressed that efforts should be geared towards maintaining a market-reflective petrol price and ensuring that the gains from the removal of subsidy flow to the federation. It urged the Federal Government to strengthen non-oil revenues, reform the value-added tax (VAT) regime, rationalise tax expenditures and improve tax administration by adopting an e-invoicing system while strengthening tax audits.

the purchase of vehicles and external training while lowering the cost of collection of ministries, departments and agencies of government as well as governmentowned enterprises. Noting that macroeconomic stabilisation is crucial, it should be accompanied by more targeted and urgent support to poor and economically insecure households. While acknowledging that inflation has started to wane with improved monetary policy, it remains high and sticky, saying the battle is far from over.

“Inflation has started to fall overall, but it is still very high, at 32.7 per cent yearon-year in September 2024. Inflation and slow growth have contributed to increased poverty along with other shocks, such as COVID-19, past economic missteps and the current necessary course corrections have contributed to an increase in the share of Nigerians living in poverty,” it stated. While most Nigerians feel that the cash transfer programme of the Federal Government is shrouded in secrecy, the World Bank is seeking scale-up and fasttracking of the programme. It said: “Direct benefit transfers of N25,000 are being rolled out to 15 million recipients and their families (over 60 million Nigerians).
As of October 8, 4.4 million households have received at least one tranche of payment and 0.8 million have received a second tranche. The authenticity of the individuals is being validated through the National Identification Number (NIN) or the Bank Verification Number (BVN) before making payments directly into recipient bank accounts.”

However, it observed that low coverage of NIN/BVN among the poor and economically insecure population has adversely impacted the pace of the rollout of the direct benefit transfers.


In the reckoning of the Bretton Woods institution, the minimum wage, which is now pegged at N70,000 may not impact most Nigerians saying only 4.1 per cent of the working population will benefit from the pay raise. Indeed, statistics show that 44.0 per cent of Nigerians are in non-wage employment, 43.6 per cent are not employed or in subsistence farming, while 12.4 are in other forms of employment. However, within the 12.4 per cent, only 4.1 per cent of that would be affected by the new minimum wage law.

who are too young or old to work can give Nigeria a sizable demographic dividend while a lack of productive jobs could turn the demographic dividend to a demographic burden. It warned Nigeria that creating jobs is not enough to lift people out of poverty as high employment and high poverty can co-exist.

So, hope dey for light tonight to look good for church tomorrow

shame no dey catch you after 64 years of independence we still dey celebrate when NEPA go bring light

everyday they'll give one silly excuse or the other just to find a way to justify their incompetence. So you need to tell me that it was transformer explosion that was responsible for the two previous ones? Foolish incompetent idiots. They'll be the first to criticize yet power generation is rocket science. From fashola to the present all of them are useless.. just as APC useless useless useless cretins with nothing to offer.

Almighty Lagos oo..

More like Tinubus group wants to draft Jonathan into 2027 race no same northern group would want to involve Jonathan into presidential race

SensualMan:
Lol. Tinibu D'DONKEY is in France treating epilepsy and blood flushing.
Shettima is chilling in the best hotel in Sweden having a massage with Swedish women.

To the sophisticated ediots,

Tinubu is handling the economy
Shettima is handling the security

Today of all day wey EPL match go start by 12pm

There was light since 5pm yesterday, they took it by 8am today, I didn't charge my phone and laptop, I wish I saw this early

Obi would never be President shebi Emilokan is working

honestly when I saw Tinubus desperation of becoming the president of Nigeria, I tripled my hustle because I was afraid of what extent he might had gone, even to sign a deal with the 😈. I'm very sure that he mortgaged the entire SW just to fulfill his selfish ambition reason why he has no sympathy towards the current hardship. Thank goodness sane citizens like us saw the handwriting on the wall on time and we prepared ourselves for this disaster. Even Buhari said that Nigerians would miss him

this election would end in a tie. There would be run off

givedemwotowoto:
Typical comment from a specific group of people in Nigeria when they make the wrong choice

They start trying to gaslight others. They never take responsibility. They never own up to anything. They're called cowards for a reason.

they are not called sosphicated m@r@@ns for nothing

helinues:
The person asked some sincere questions constructively

why not answer her sincerely since Tinubu is your God

Ikaeniyan0:
Bro, peter obi will never become the president of Nigeria

oga I'm not arguing with you. Peter Obi told you he's not desperate so why are you hammering out that he'll never be president

I hate seeing this kind of headlines. Lift poor Nigerians with 5k abi 10k in this useless economy? What happened to giving money to businesses, startups and empowerment to drive our economy forward? Instead they're giving money to Nigerians that it'll not benefit

Authoreety:
🤭😜😝😂😆😄this got me laffing hard

Guy u get point o ...

as much as I understand your sacarsm but it's important to prioritize your spending. Peter obi shares money to those who really need it. Not greedy ashawo delegates that collect money from different politicians. Obi has already told you that he's not desperate in becoming a president.

Ikaeniyan0:
Peter obi will never become the president of Nigeria.

you need Peter Obi more than Peter Obi needs Nigeria. Your frustrations are like a cancer with no cure. But unfortunately I won't even advise Peter Obi to run again. Nigeria is too polluted for him. Peter Obi is too pure to rule Nigeria honestly. It will take at least 20years to reverse the mess Buhari and Tinubu A.kA T-pain has plunged Nigeria into. Personally I don't even want Peter Obi to be associated with anything rebuilding Nigeria because of Idiats like you. He should stick to philanthropy, the masses already love him. Let him continue to stick with the masses until Nigeria is restructured. Idiats like you deserve Nigeria and all it's calamities.
