Paperwhite:
E choke! Thought all the denials was that 25% in the FCT does not count or matters. Waiting for how the Supreme court is gonna interprete the clause "AND THE FCT."

What happened between Awolowo and Shagari is about to happen again.

TOMMYS:


My leader wetin you feel say be the solution

He should start singing ''o ya so pe o ti lo, e don go''

The moment a lady has the guts to tell you she would rather lose you than to leave her bestie, just do a send off party for her and move on.

MALIGNANTHost:
Good morning NLers, This is a new relationship less than six months and a long-distance one.

The guy confronted his girlfriend whether she's having a male bestie and the girl acknowledged.

The girl said that the bestie is even the one making her dreadlocks.

After the chat, the girlfriend made it clear to his boyfriend that she would rather break up the relationship than for her to leave the male bestie as her bestie has done for her what no guy including the current boyfriend can do.

What's the way forward please

Low self esteem dey worry her boyfriend.

Be a man, be confident... And no lady will take you a for a ride and Infact she will be the one to break away from the bestie without you asking for it.

pineed:

I modified so as not to cause confusion

My point is that FCT is considered as 37th state in election not a special state as people have been propagating

OK lemme agree that Abuja is the 37 state.

Meaning a winner must make 25% in 2/3 of 37 states.

So what is 2/3 of 37 =24.6

So which state will be considered 0.6?

So in essence, the constitution is clear...

2/3 of 36 states which is 24 AND ABUJA

Meaning 25% in at least 24 out of the 36 states and then 25% in Abuja making at 25 states.

But let's see how the court interpretes it.

Yet they asked citizens to make sacrifices. Criminals.

This is why they will never allow a man like Peter Obi to be the president.

AareGaa:


Just say U.K is far better than Nigeria, simple. It's not 100000000 better.

I doubt if you have left the shores of Nigeria for once.

Lobatan...

victorsola:
what threshold. Does anybody earn below 12k pounds a year. And if tinubu tax you people will keep screaming yet u can go to another country and get taxed heavily .

They are not corrupt here, monkeys and snakes don't swallow money.

SmartPolician:
The UK has definitely run out of ideas on how to improve their earnings. That's why they are turning to taxing immigrants.

By the way, I was just studying how countries around the world tax their people. I realise that the UK should be the highest in the world.

Honestly, I hail Nigerians who live in the UK. How can someone cope in a country where you can pay income tax of about 45% coming from a country where you pay peanuts in taxes?

You only pay more tax if you earn above a threshold.

And even with the taxes, the country is still 100000000 times better than naija.

Tareq1105:
So Toks2008, now that Tinubu has done all these things what do you want to do now?

As I wrote, at the moment I'm not affected directly but I feel the pains of millions of Nigerians.

Too bad I can only pity those affected by the cluelessness of Tinubu’s Government

Why is the Govt not obeying court order to release Kanu?

zoghys:



You are trying so hard to sound smart, unfortunately you ain't. When PO mentioned subsidy removal during his campaign, am sure you weren't against it because every right thinking government knows that's the way to go especially in the face of dwindling income. PBAT has taken a giant step and it takes a man of steel to do that, and sincerely am impressed so far and so are many right thinking and non tribalistic Nigerians. During Jonathan regime we had billions in our excess crude oil account, and can surely partially subsidize, but then this is 2023 and not 2012. If you had argue that we need to reduce the cost of running the government, I will have agreed with you totally, but on subsidy removal and the timing, nope you ain't right.

It is one thing to read and another to comprehend.

Go back and read again and this time do it slowly.

Nobody is against subsidy removal even when it is the responsibility of a Govt to subsidise as it is done in many other countries...

BUT IF IT MUST BE REMOVED IT SHOULD BE DONE IN PHASES.

Simply English.

Opolopoopolonio:


2012 was the best time to remove the subsidy.

The next best time was May 29, 2023.

No pain. No gain.

You are still in pains from election loss

You think I dey suffer with una? Most Tinubu supporters who are not gaining directly or indirectly from his tenure are suffering from Stockholm syndrome

EcoNews:
If to say you no be Igbo I for take you seriously but you were born in hate n nurtured in it so I will be taking this as your usual lamentation

My name is Tokunbo. Omoluabi thoroughbred educated yoruba with a sound mind.

The current report from statista.com shows that an estimated population of 88.4 million people in Nigeria lived in extreme poverty and this was before subsidy removal.

No amount of intervention can atone for his hasty unguided totalitarian decision of removing subsidy in one swoop.

You can never put the cart before the horse and expect progress.

It is one thing to be intelligent to rig elections and another thing to have the intelligence to lead a country.

This was Tinubu's own very words in 2012 when Jonathan wanted to remove subsidy...

"It must be on calibrated phases, on which the promised gains are measured and confirmed before moving to the next phase of removal.

Government must modify the sudden and complete removal of the subsidy. Either we restore the subsidy or use the funds for other social purposes, If we are to use the funds for other programmes, these programmes shall be placed on parallel track with the subsidy."

So what happened? did he lose his sense of reasoning ,could it be old age or was he suddenly possessed with the evil spirit of a dictator so much that what was written in that inaugural speech was ''We shall remove subsidy in phases'' But he went ahead to say ''SUBSIDY IS GONE''

You never spend one day for office, you never get meeting as the president with stake holders you Don dey announce policies of unification of exchange rate and subsidy removal... Now a dollar may soon hit N1000, many people will. Definitely lose their jobs and even those who have money can't afford a normal meal cos of increase in food prices.

I have never seen a Govt inflict so much pains on Nigerians in a very short space of time.

Lol it's Siofra 😄

I'm already getting tired too but I must keep going because I have a goal of 5000 topics and I've only created a little over 300.

How have you been?

Wawu

You definitely have passion for writing...Are you a Gemini?

siofra:
All back cornrows.

I rarely make this hairstyle and I don't know why. Anyway, recently I made it and the compliments I've gotten are too much. I can't even walk down the road in peace
Seriously, I thought men only liked it when women wore expensive wigs.

Or maybe they think it's low maintenance, so they stand a chance??
No, I don't think so. Even women complimented the hairstyle☺️

Sofria it's been a while.

Creating threads on nairaland don tire me... I don Try with about 300 threads of mine has graced the front page...

The time has come to retire

fanzine:
My Husband thinks that cornrows is the sexiest hairstyle. He so much admire it before I wear my wig. No matter the wig style, he always wish I rock my natural cornrows.

I saw a thread on the fpage a couple of minutes ago and I remembered this interesting thread.

Reading through again makes me conclude that some ladies lack cognitive ability to comprehend judging from how they attacked the OP over an innocuous thread that bothers on Men's preferences without any form of subjugation towards the women.

May GOD grant wisdom to some ladies...

socialmediaman:


Is this not attractive?

So lovely..

I get so turned on whenever I see this on a sweet looking lady.

I think I created a thread about this that made front page years back.

Yeah this is the thread...

Saintinoo:
This is not a female bashing thread, just to share my experience with some kind of human.

I have been hearing of the narcissism, and even through I believe we all have one traits of narcissism or the other, but I experienced this with my now ex girlfriend. All this while I was trying to protect and love her even after seeing so many signs of narcissism but, the more I try, the more I make her believe that I am the problem. Here are most things she does that made me believe she has a covert NPD.

1. Love bombs me today, and give me hell the next day.
2. She never apologizes, she will ghost me until I apologize for complaining about her wrong doing.
3. She gives silent treatment immediately after an argument until I apologize.
4. She gets angry so easily, she can yell at or shame me when angry and when I react, silent treatment follows.
5. When I caught her lie, even the slightest lie, she gets angry and start ghosting me till I apologizes (sort of manipulation).

These and many more I experienced from dating a female narcissist, female narcissists do not know ALFA male, just don't get into any relationship with them else they will destroy you, no matter how strong of a man you are.

She actually left when she saw that I was too sturborn for her manipulations and won't adhere to her demands, need I say that I still tried to get her back, that is how female narcissists destroys not just their man but even female friends they manage to have.

Guys ever been in a relationship with this type of woman, share you experience.

Ladies who exhibit these traits usually love so deeply. Unfortunately, their men should just tolerate their narcissism

As clueless as ever.

8000 for what? Is it for Agbado or cassava?

Eriokanmi:
Hope they didn't say, awa lokan and voted along that line before they left the country. Now I'm beginning to really learn of leadership.

Leadership is divinely orchestrated. You don't struggle for it else, you'd mess things up. Of all the leaders known in this country, only tinubu grabbed power by hook and crook. Even when Buhari was so desperate, he never got it until he willingly surrendered and left the space.

From 1960 to date, none who ruled Nigeria got to power desperately and the history has shown and I'd start from the most recent cos of some indomie generation here.
Buhari was called to lead Nigeria after the successful coup in which he never participated.
Babangida, same. It was obj who said those who participated in the coup should consider IBB for the position. This is a fact not known to many, till now.

Chief Earnest Shonekan never dreamt of becoming an interim president.

Abahca too never knew it could be his turn. Those who persuaded shonekan to step down in line with their agreement was led by Gen Diya, not even abacha cos he wasn't in good terms with IBB.

Abdulsalaam Abubakar never thought of being head of state. There were senior officers before him who could have filled that space but he was picked and his promotion was doubled, as a prerequisite to being head of state before he became Nigerian leader.

Obj was picked from the prison, he had thought he'd be executed by abacha when IBB boys did the needful and he was released . The rest was history.

What of Jonathan?

...and Yaradua?

None of those mentioned above bought their ways into power. When you force yourself in a position where God didn't put you, you should experience things like this. Only God appoints leaders, irrespective of religion or ethnicity.

If tinubu scales the hurdle of the judiciary eventually, he'd manage to lead Nigeria for 4 years but people should brace up for the unexpected. This isn't a curse. We're all seeing the realities. A Pounds sterling don pas 1,000 naira now.

Succinctly said

RTID:
Okay, this is crazy. I was with my friend yesterday and he told me a very shocking true life story.
A particular Yahoo boy went to plus up his Yahoo. Babalawo tell am say make him sleep with 25 women for the whole thing to be successful.
“I will advice you to sleep with 50 ladies at least, because many of these women have been used.”, the babalawo said.

This guy went to book a lodge & stayed there for about 2 months. All he was doing was sleeping with different women.
He slept with over 120 women & went back to the baba.
120 women!!? Quite shocking right? Now, here's the most shocking part of it.

The babalawo told him that out of over 120 girls that he slept with, only 8 have not been used. The rest of them have been used by someone else.
Ahhh! This is crazy. I was traumatized when I heard this story. Things are happening.

So many thoughts came through my mind. This is just one of the many reasons why we should flee from sexual immorality.

Only a myopic person will not believe the reality in this story whether the story is true or false.

thesilentman:
This story is real.The yahoo boy confessed at church revival service.This is one of the major reasons i prefer to cheat with a decent married woman to the average Nigerian girl.

And who told you the married women are exempted?

001Lagos:
Video of Remi Tinubu threatening to deal with the Igbos for not supporting her husband .

The video of Remi Tinubu threatening to use her husband office to deal with the Igbos for not supporting her husband, Tinubu presidential ambition .

The igbos has generated mixed reactions by the Nigerian people .

Like seriously.. Is this the new low?

Obviously you all posting this shit don't understand yoruba.

Nothing like threatening in the video and she was Infact making friendly comments.

You guys should stop creating baseless and malicious threads

Nsogbu001:
I think is very bad for the first lady of a country to threaten a particular tribe.
Must everyone support Tinubu. This should be investigated biko

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJSYbvGPeM8

Please bring down this malicious thread.

I'm an obidient but there is nothing like threatening in the video.

She is Infact making friendly comments.

I'm yoruba but it seems you don't understand yoruba.

Please stop spreading falsehood.

FreeStuffsNG:
Money is everywhere in Nigeria but you focus on the negatives, curse the land which in turn withholds its blessings from you. In this land, if you are not winning, you are losing. You are losing does not mean that other Nigerians are losing.

It is not a coincidence that the region that keeps raising uncouth youths and unpatriotic elements who curse Nigeria are losing perenially everywhere home and abroad. They always lose all las las unless they start blessing Nigeria. It is a settled fact; you curse Nigeria, Nigeria curses you back!

Nigerians making it big legitimately don't waste their time on Nairaland and Social media cursing their land, cyberbullying and insulting people upandan Get one thing right about success: FOCUS

Don't be deceived bro, confessing positively is good but does not automatically translate to success.

There must be an enabling ground for people to succeed and not just selected few.

Very apt.

He was indeed possessed by a demonic totalitarian spirit.

No true demicatically elected president will do what Tinubu did.

To think that in 2012 he was against the removal in one swoop.

These were Tinubu exact words in 2012 when Jonathan tried to remove subsidy.



"It must be on calibrated phrases, on which the promised gains are mea- sured and confirmed before moving to the next phase of removal.

Government must modify the sudden and complete removal of the subsidy. Elther we restore the subsidy or use the funds for other social purposes,"

If we are to use the funds for other programmes, these programmes shall be placed on parallel track with the subsidy."

Tinubu counselled in a special statement he cap- tioned, "Removal of oil subsidy-Presi dent Jonathan breaks social contract with the people' and which he personally signed.

So indeed he was possessed by a demon for him to do the exact opposite of what he advised.

Reno needs to check in into a psycaltry.

His pseudo intelligence is appalling.

How can you even compare the two?

Apparently his mental state and that of those saying he is right needs evaluation.

They will rarely tell us the true story.

Don't get it twisted... People rise from nothing to something but they hardly tell the world the true story behind their success.
