When you see good news you claim it is APC sponsored, but when you see bad news you rejoice.

This is not even hatred or lack of patriotism, it is witchcraft in training.

Go for deliverance

Since May 2015 there have been many good news and you can see the effect from where we are today, massive inflation, massive debt, massive monopolies, massive oil theft etc.

We are tired of many news and no impact on people's lives. Within one hour of this govt fuel price increased to N500 per litre which has caused untold hardship in an already bad situation. This shows the massive power of govt to affect your life positively or negatively in an instant.

PLS LET SOME GOVT ACTION AFFECT PEOPLE'S LIVES POSITIVELY IN AN INSTANT....WE ARE TIRED OF PLENTY NEWS

Reno...any progress that does not make anything cheaper, easier and saner for the Nigerian masses is not progress. None of what you counted has made anything better for anybody. The same people who said subsidy does not exist and brought the country to a standstill when then President Jonathan removed subsidy in 2012 are the same people who def ft for the intervening 11 year from the same subsidy and now because there is no more money...removed subsidy within an hour of assuming the reigns of power..

It is double speak to praise the same people you criticised for blocking the laudable reforms of GEJ Govt

Another distraction from petrol N511 per litre..from the same people who said in 2012 that subsidy does not exist

I support senior wife

I thought Hilda Baci has done this....naija people sef

Oga Keyamo make you try to do one thing at least for your native Effurun, Uvwie Local Govt Area of Delta abeg. Thanks

Good one. I had heard when I was growing up that wild animals dont attack children...maybe it is true

Bluntemperor:
OP,so calling Prime Minister - a Country Head ,a President is an issue to you in Nigeria,eb like say,there is nothing investigative to report again in this Social Media,abi?
If this is for examinations,not normal but in Practical,when most Nations are feeling the Masses heat,who gives a fork!
A Prime Minister= President of the nation, afterall all the bulk of the Country is on his table!

na one of those Trumpist na im go post this one

It shocks me that you still have people support Trump in spite of all his shortcomings and support for what supremacist groups..

This is a post obviously by a Trumpist, otherwise is this relevant news?

IS BELOW EXTRACT REALLY GENUINE ECONOMIC ANALYSIS?

Compared to the current period the Jonathan years were simply heaven

========================================================================================

Under the five-year reign of Goodluck Jonathan from May 2010 to May 2015, growth rate dropped from eight per cent to 2.31 per cent; inflation rate declined from 14.10 per cent to 7.98 per cent while unemployment slowed down from 19.70 per cent to 6.41 per cent. In comparison, the growth rate stood at 2.31 per cent during the eight years reign of Muhammadu Buhari from May 2015 to May 2023; inflation, however, spiked from 7.98 per cent to 22.22 per cent while unemployment rate increased from 6.41 per cent to 33.28 per cent.

While the official exchange rate moved from N149.99/$ to N196.95 under Jonathan, it galloped from N196.95/$ to N461.06/$ under Buhari. Under Jonathan, external reserves dropped from $37.47bn to $28.34bn while the current account balance as percentage of GDP dropped from 8.33 per cent to 0.18 per cent. The Buhari’s administration took external reserves from $28.34bn to $35.15bn while the current account balance as percentage of GDP moved from 0.18 per cent to 0.21 per cent.

Public debt as percentage of GDP, revenue as percentage of GDP and expenditure as percentage of GDP moved from 8.79 per cent to 12.42 per cent, 5.60 per cent to 3.60 per cent and 7.57 per cent to 4.57 per cent respectively under Jonathan. Under Buhari, it moved from 12.42 per cent to 22.85 per cent, 3.60 per cent to 2.62 per cent and 4.57 per cent to 6.62 per cent respectively.

Jonathan took the money supply-GDP ratio from 22.29 per cent to 22.65 per cent, MPR from six per cent to 13 per cent and Equities Market Cap as percentage of GDP from 11.48 per cent to 12.73 per cent. On the other hand, Buhari moved the money supply-GDP ratio to 24.84 per cent from 22.65 per cent, MPR to 18.50 per cent from 13 per cent and Equities Market Cap as percentage of GDP to 13.79 per cent from 12.73 per cent.

I think they in Lagos should cool down on their powerful lobby so that development can go elsewhere so that people can relocate.

You use all your connection to deprive other places of progress so everybody is forced to go to Lagos even against their wish.

They use their salaries in Lagos, pay tax in Lagos and you want to deprive them of fundamental human rights of voting and being voted for in Lagos....haba

Be like say this economy favour you

Looks like fake news

We kill wide life too much in Naija

Sultty:
after how many times?? Jona said he removed it, bubu said he removed it, now tinubu said he has removed it. God spear both our lives, I'll save this comment for 4-8, years+ then I'll remind u of this comment

Jonathan removed the subsidy but we did a major strike to bring it back

seborrhic:
Given time, transport cost and related prices would normalise and reduce from the initial high levels because there would be adjustments and cost saving measures employed by people,forcing transporters to reduce their prices because of reduced patronage.
For eg,many people that work far from their residence would start squatting with friends or find temporary accommodation near their places of work,so if they go Monday they only return weekends.

So what made this position untrue in 2012 when Jonathan did removed subsidy and you guys locked down the system in protest?

The damage was done in 2015.
It can only get worse, except for miracle

Looks like staged managed news...what about 2012

This na image laundering news...after such a dismal tenure

On second thought it could be an opportunity to bring reconciliation and closure to an age long issue. Carry bitter blood attracts no blessing.
Insist on meeting with the bio father

MetaBroadband:
Good morning mature men and women in the house. Please I need your help on this topic.

My Fiancee told me about how her biological dad abandoned her and her mum after getting her mum pregnant.

Her mum later married another man who adopted her as his child.

Now she's grown and I've proposed to her, I wanted to go for her official introduction and list collection.

Would it not be nice to hear the biological father's opinion? Should I just ignore the fact that the man is still alive and proceed with the marriage arrangement?

Although she said I should not bother about that, but this is Nigeria and as an Akwa Ibomite I don't think it's proper. Although she's against me trying to find out about the man's opinion. Should I care?

Note: she only told me that the man abandoned them, but what if it was her mum that actually took her away?

It would have been nice to see the bio father but on what basis? What is the link or connection to follow. In all your dating days you were not introduced to the bio father at any time.

If your girl has introduced her "father" and mother to you and you have been interacting with them ever since then you do not have any reason to go beyond that level.

You may only go to the biological father if your girl says so or if the bio father somehow got wind of the marriage and requested that you see him.

Rikze:
This is very very correct 💯

Though I wasn't in Warri at the time all this happened. But I can see the shadows of the Glorious past.


Whenever I drive through DSC and its township I can't help but imagine what life was like then.

Or is it the Enerhe axis, Macdermoth, refinery, old airport and Osubi.

When you hear locals discuss what Warri was like, you'll know it was a city with great potentials killed by "deve".


PH almost towed same line with their "marching ground", "bush entry" and other crazy taxation by the indigenes. The saviour is that no war erupted, but it affected some companies to the point that govt at some point had to intervene.

We must learn a lesson in Asari Dokubo's voice.


Keke riding is the major business in waff-town today, for graduates and undergraduates alike. So sad 😭😢😢

No be deve....na lack of govt development jare.....some people no want the place to progress!!

Igboslayer:
Going to Warri back then was a big battle. You can’t enter the city with any vehicle bearing the logo of a popular company. Anywhere you park Agebros will bombard you like bees asking for Deve. Benin also borrowed some format from this and drove many potential investors away. The Benin by pass saved a lot of people and businesses from Agberos lurking in every part of the city. Robbery is very common along the bypass till this day.

These things are more elsewhere but companies dont leave...more of it is propaganda!!

I used to believe all these stories that communal crisis brought Warri down......but for me that is not totally correct.

The major problems are as follows;

1. Lack of government focused attention to support and encourage industrial development. For a major oil producing state there is no single industrial complex like those you have in Port Harcourt, Kano or Lagos. That means Govt has not set aside, developed and marketed any industrial area of any kind for so many years.

2. Most major development occur in state capitals because it is the center of govt and the state governor is on hand to supervise, monitor and advance the progress of the capital at least and give it some profile. They will host national and international visitors e.g foreign heads of state, governors meetings etc. All of these attract development to the area not just of facilities but of minds and brings in exposure. All of these are absent in Warri area in spite of its prominence in Nigeria.

3. The government focused too much on the security side of things hence indirectly connoted the state as being very unsafe. Many people on their first trip meeting permanent sandbagged checkpoint especially at the airport gave them a very bad impression of the city even without witnessing any crime.

4. The unending construction of the entrance to town and total poor outlook of that entire area gives a very bad image of the town and a big discouragement to any would be investors.

5. Since 1999 the state govt has not lobbied or tried to create a lobby to attract any major federal investment to the state.

So while ethnic crisis or youth restiveness is an issue it is not a cause but the result of years of neglect and lack of development.

The so called Apapa man is working for APC

[they lied to the boy the same way they lied to the masses
Ekweremadu needed a kidney for his daughter and contacted a middle man ie the Dr and the Dr did business collected 4.5 millions from him and gave the poor boy 270k.He was not told anything about donations of kidney ooo, he was only promised job opportunities in the uk. Make them continue every day for the thief one day for the owner quote author=GeneralPula post=122952557]The boy claimed they didn't tell him from Nigeria he was coming to donate kidney!

I think I have a reason to believe him! Why?

Why would you fly a kidney donor to UK without even confirming first if such kidney matches with your daughter's? Cuz according to the boy, it was when he reached UK that they took him to hospital!

The whole scenario looks like them wan jonze the boy true true..

THE BOY SHOULD TELL US WHY THEY TOOK HIM TO LONDON

I think the donor boy was told and agreed. It is when he reached London that he saw another opportunity to abscond.

The Ekweremadus wouldn't have gone the whole length of this journey without proper arrangement.

If the boy says he was not told he was going to donate kidney what was the reason they took him to London? He should tell us the reason he was taken to London first
