bukatyne:
You prefer to pay N200/ liter than pay subsidy cabals for nothing

Sorry, you sound like someone being fed or has no responsibilities.

If Buhari has 10% of his acclaimed integrity, he would fish out the cabals and let us have peace.

Fuel hike + increased VAT = inflation in a country with more than 50% below poverty line.

Electricity is epileptic and we run gen almost 14hrs daily when we are at home. Imagine the amount incurred on a weekly basis.

Why?

bukatyne, the current petrol subsidy is the BIGGESR SCAM in Africa

Subsidy needs to go, for tangible devt

BUT

This fuel subsidy seems to br the oNLY major thing that the masses enjoy from the govt?, and the argument is that IF we save from subsidy, the money will still be stolen by politicians


So it's a catch 22 situation

ideally subsidy should go

BUT

the peculiarities of Nigeria is another PALAVA

franchasng:
No, they should continue, the day of reckoning is sure fast approaching.

Go and read history books about the war, in terms of military personnel casualties, Nigeria recorded almost equal or more death of soldiers like Biafra.

The only weapon they used to bring down Biafra was Awolowo's starvation policy through change of currency that led to starvation of Biafran children and women as a result of malnutrition.

Their only weapon was targeting civilian Biafrans, even before the war reason they went and started killing civilian Igbos living in the north just because of a military coup that does not concern an ordinary civilian Nigerian.

So they should think twice, ordinary ragtag Boko Haram militants Nigerian army can't defeat it for over 10 years now.

During the 1967 - 1969 Nigeria Biafra civil war, Biafra didn't have jet fighter or bombers to go to Nigerian side to drop bombs, they were fighting with bare hands (my uncle was among the Biafran commandos that were trained to use hands to confront Nigerian soldiers and snatch their guns to help Biafra secure guns for the war and they snatched thousands of guns from Nigerian military batallion), so imagine another civil war today that many Igbo individuals home and abroad can rally and acquire latest fighter jets and surface misliles.

I personally must make sure enough bombs drop in Lagos, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Niger and Ibadan so everybody can feel the wrath of war.

Because Britain and Egypt and other foreign allies helped them, and because Biafra didn't have bombers to drop bombs in their regions so they could feel the heat, they keep bragging about the war, I think we really need to fight another civil war in Nigeria to settle all these scores once and for all so the survivors will borrow some sense and make things better

it's usually kids and young men who often talk like this

"I think we really need to fight a civil war in Nigeria "

to prove what or achieve what?

instead of planning to move forward


these ones want to go back

kettykin:
i really blame Aguiyi Ironsi for all these insults , he should have stepped aside and allowed Nzeogwu finish his business , see what his naivety is costing igbos, the son of a Nigerien coming on social Media to install igbos and get away with it as if nothing happened.

Chai how are the mighty igbos fallen , this present generation of igbos appear to be the weakest in the history of the igbo nation , what happened , where did we get it wrong , so much so that igbos are no where near the first top 6 positions in the country and the country still continues unconcerned

weakest?

what do you mean?

Joromi12:
Crude production cost is 5 dolls This man is mad. The current subsidy being done my nnpc sucks because it doesnt allow private coys import fuel meaning lesser jobs. NNPC has over at least 51% of all oil blocks in nigeria. So the nnpc is selling its oil to refenieries abroad at a reduced rate so that they can sell for us at 145. Let them continue abeg. because if dem remove am we wont see wat the money is being used for

you know what's up nwanne


nnpc scamming the country clean and cleae

don't mind that fool

talking nonsense

Aiyk2333:
Govt crippled Ibeto's booming cement business only to monopolize Dangote, plus top politicians laundering money, hiding it in his business all these gave rise to his wealth

this cock and bull story about ibeto again

Millz404:
Shut up. Do you know how many google projects failed and packed up... Did that make them less of a major business entity. People that know nothing about entrepreneurship always have some sh¡t to say

ignorant comment everywhere

Campaign4truth:
Dangote is simply diversifying his business portfolio. The flour business must still be profitable to attract any investor at all. However it appears a lot is going into the Refinery and Tomato business, so it would make sense to let go of the weaker business to fund the "cash cow".

no mind them

SillyMods:
Bad belle kill you.

These yahoo boys use those wack music as cover up.

doggedfighter:
Senseless write-up

no mind am

ArmaniUhuru:
Not everybody though, but Many are benefiting from yahoo directly or indirectly. They just choose to be hypocrites.


You condemn yahoo, and you’re buying iTunes cards and bitcoin from boys.

You dey condemn yahoo, and you dey find boys wey go come buy your goods for shop.

You condemn yahoo, and you run a pharmacy.

You dey condemn yahoo, and expect street boys to come and buy building materials.

You condemn yahoo, and you have a boutique where young boys come to buy stuffs.


You hate yahoo, and na Street boys dey patronize your business. Thunder fire you.

the purchasing power of the so called Yahoo miscreants is still negligible
compared to the total purchasing powerr of Nigerian

so they don't matter much

so don't over estimate the importance of these criminals

many mumu people for this thread

martineverest:
even the descendants of slaves aren't into scamming, yet the descendants of those that sold their brothers to the westerners are the ones using scamming as reparation.. irony of life

if u think the white people should be scammed because of slavery,what about the African kings that sold their people to slavery?..why aren't other west and Central Africans not into scamming like Nigerians,since they also took part in slavery...it's so stupid to use slavery to justify scamming.

Nigeria is beyond repair...the country is finally dead.her citizens are killing the country faster than their corrupt government

you have said it all

mudiana:
You ruin people's lives and you are happy.
You are making money from innocent people's sadness and you are happy.
People hail and praise u, your parents even brag about you while the victim commits suicide, you are happy.
To you it's payback, did u experience slavery?
There is no justification for what you do.
You ruin people's lives, you are a killer, a murderer and a thief.
Change your ways else your children's children will suffer worse fate.

I hope you know some activities of some western countries (corporation's actually) have their effect on us developing countries, so quite frankly I don't care about the victims

What we should be all worried about is HOW this Yahoo is affecting US as Nigerians

the effects on Nigeria and Nigerians is MUCH WORSE than whatever loss or pain causes to the victims

Pavore9:
"Nobody Holy" is a defense mechanism, many hide under to rationalize their own lifestyle.

exactly

Yahoo is a menace to our society F**k the victims, it's not about them let their countries worry about them It's about how this Yahoo is affecting our country negatively It's akin to how the narcos started in Mexico /Colombia According to them, it's the "putas gringos" that snort white powder and not them now see what it has snowballed into 4 decades after, Mexico and Colombia are in trouble it's the sane thing we did with kidnapping, saying it's the whites who have cheated us that are being kidnapped now look at the result two decades after, no one can sleep even in the north in peace again We are doing the same with Yahoo, sayinh it's "payback for slavery" but when it degenerates into something else (stealing of pants and body parts is just the beginning) then we will know what we did to ourselves Coupled with the fact that more and more boys will be toeing that line instead of learning skills or getting an education Nigerians shine your eyes

now see what it has snowballed into 4 decades after, Mexico and Colombia are in trouble


it's the sane thing we did with kidnapping, saying it's the whites who have cheated us that are being kidnapped
now look at the result two decades after, no one can sleep even in the north in peace again

We are doing the same with Yahoo, sayinh it's "payback for slavery"

Imagine this guy and Lionel Messi rivalled the Most valuable player back then. Na wa o. He failed to attain his full potential as a professional player.

Mourhino destroyed him! What a waste of talent.

ogun kee Mourinho for ruining his career

KevinDein:
Ah, nice to know the emboldened.

So men if you wrong your partners, don't bother asking for forgiveness or try patching things up, it's a waste of time. Just ask for a breakup.This Man here is basically telling us they'll never forgive you and would only stick around to ruthlessly deal with you if opportunity presents itself.

Amazing creatures, women.

only if you know how many women have bottled up grievances against their significant other and are waiting for the right time to pounce

you will fear women


but if you treat your woman right in the first place, there won't be room for the "grievances" in the first place

Jumoke has kicked out the man in her life based on this premise


Now the same guys supporting this thread are on the other one condemning jumoke :Dwhy una like double standards na

victorian:
God bless you.

You will make heaven

You've just nailed it, as it is.


Sighs when I was trying to find my feet in becoming someone and resourceful, guys I dated or hope to date bailed out on me, cause I was still a student struggling to find a head way in life. Back then I was as slim with a great height like a model but none could be able stand by me, through my struggles in life, even though I was ready for us to work as a team.

Since I have my business and career going for me three years after nysc, I now look chubby and all. Guys are all over professing imaginary love.

Really? Love

Sighs if not for God and my unborn kids, I will never wish to love a man, settle down and marry. That's the honest truth

May God help this generation. Almost everyone has thrown the true meaning of love to the dustbin. What we have now, is lust lust and more lust. After lust and with series of passionate moments, everyone waka to the next available person that catches their fancy. Just too bad. Only very few percentage of people practise true love, the rest is zero. Nothing there.

Good morning.

it's a shame really

grandstar:
Economist always want to know whether an increase is in real terms. This is a crude way of finding out.

Let me use Nigeria's economic growth rate. It is predicted to grow by 2.5% every year for the next 4years.

But the Nigerian population is growing by 2.6%. To know if it is growing in real terms simply deduct the population growth rate from the economic growth rate. That is 2.5% - 2.6% = 0.1%. So in real terms growth is -0.1%. That means every year for the next 4 years Nigeria will grow poorer.

If population growth was 1% like Bangladesh that means real growth will be 2.6%- 1%=1.6%

you have said it all

Reference:
Oga go and sit down. Typical Nigerian, always looking at financials from the expenditure side of things only. From the Gowon era and his now infamous, 'our problem is how to spend it' to the present. Nigerians will NEVER look at the income/earnings side. They will always be comparing their earnings with 'senators' or citizens of developed countries. Ask them if they produce a fraction of what those they compare themselves with and you receive 'no answer'. Police will say they collect bribe because they earn far below those in the United States....nonsense. But everyone does it. They cannot teach, treat, build, administer justice, sweep streets, run, climb, drill, carry, trade.... because they donot earn enough. Is it not work that makes money again...

That is why it is so easy for failed politicians to swindle them of power without getting any concrete, tangible return. Within the time span quoted what has Nigeria done to increase productivity and earnings to be able to give itself a raise. You can only pay yourself from what you earn. The alternative is either to borrow (to live a fake life, a life of subsidies in power, fuel, schools, hospitals, like we have been doing for decades) or steal (as you point out - from the citizens).

Irrespective, Nigerians are irresponsible hypocrites.The day we wake up and take charge of this country and our destiny being active, responsible and engaging citizens the way nationals of other countries are, then we will know what to do to change our fortunes. I repeat again. Government is just a nomenclature for a group of people whose responsibility is to organise society, period. It is the quality of the society that determines its experiences. Nigerians are poor because we have an abundance of lazy, ignorant, corner cutting citizens whose penchant for blaming everything and everyone except themselves is legendary.

Oga. Within the time frame quoted what have we done to diversify the economy. What have we done to DEMAND government organises us around alternative sources of income outside oil. Even within the sullied oil mono economy to keep up with inflation we should be producing something like 4 million barrels of oil a day, something near impossible. So where will the money to pay raise come from... I tell you.... hear this. The stripping of assets, the mortgaging of the future, the crushing of what is left of the middle class. This country is effectively slaving for government employees.

you have spoken well

GeorgeTheCoder:
This is Africa. Despite all our shortcomings not all of us are mad. We have traditions and principles. "No matter how much money the youngest child has, he will kneel down to greet the eldest"
Wizkid can fill up the Atlantic ocean with his fans for a show for all we care. In age, maturity and 'doings' he is still a small boy and Tiwa a woman married with a child is a disgrace.

what is this one saying

This is Africa my black arse
