He has shown failure already, I'm still surprised

Did you listen to the interview with the cbn MPC? You should listen to it and know where we are coming from. A position of absolute mess. See your fundamentals: excessively growing population, mono income economy, poor revenue base, poor GDP to tax ration, import dependent economy, high taste for imported goods with poor fx inflow, low food production, subsidy in every area, poor energy, crude producer but 💯 dependent on imported petroleum products, high level corruption, non performing sub-nationals etc etc.

You must be a super human to turn these around in two years.

Softmirror:


There are so many Pastors in Nigeria that make this kind of confession and the Law doesn't take care of them.

Mean while it seems that these people have realized that it is easier to make a lot of money by becoming a pastor, owning a church, robbing from the pulpit with sweet words.

Why not become one. You don't want to be rich?___

oluwaseyi0:
Deputy feeling like governor

Governor Godwin Obaseki should please call his deputy to order

He has disappeared

frog12:
where obaseki?

Disappeared into tin air

Nigeria is too big a country for any of the super powers to mess up with. Nigeria nobi Mali.

Energist:
If the dollar were stable, who will bother to go through this hassle?

Is your local currency dollar? South Africans, Chinese and other nations talk about their local currency. It's our uncontrollable taste for foreign goods and importation is responsible.

fineboynl:
.the economy is far better when emelefe was in charge. The administration need to cover their face in shame

The name shit anyhow for cbn. Na the shit they still the clean.

englishmart:
We never thought we could have an administrative downgrade of Muhammadu Buhari until Tinubu became a thing.
As terrible as Buhari was, Tinubu is far worse. What a desperate man with paucity of ideas.

This one na lie 🤥

Realdeals:
Cardoso must hear this..

So where is the money?

Energist:
She do lose value sha. It isn't wise to save in Naira these days except if it's for a few days time. Better one buys a commodity say maize and sell it off later when ready. Or convert the little savings to USD at the end of every month, and reconvert back to Naira at the end of the target date.

You can see that we are all enemies of naira. Government should ban circulation of dollar in this country and the value of naira will go up.

Nazgul:
In the US their average minimum wage per month is about $2,400. And their average electricity bill per month is about $140. That's less than 10% of their minimum wage. And note they have uninterrupted power supply.

Compare it to Nigeria where minimum wage is 70k and some people using post paid in Band A pay over 100k every month.

How can your electricity bill be higher that your minimum wage and you don't expect people to voice out their frustrations?

Where on earth does that happen?

A friend in the east called me and was lamenting that his monthly post paid bill is 155k. How much is he earning, isn't the government plunging people into poverty.

Even if you want to defend the government, try to be reasonable. Imagine you're earning 200k and your street is dragged to band A where you'll have to spend over 75% of your income on electricity would you applaud the government?

When citizens of other countries spend less than 10% of their income on electricity, you're here defending a government that's making her citizens pay over 75% of their income on electricity. If you don't have any problem with that, it means you're still living in your parents house. The day you become independent and start paying your own bills your orientation would change.

Leave USA matter. Let's talk our own. Too many comparism. It done on us that all the good things that we desire have got to be paid. That's why in your USA they are doing multiple jobs and virtually living on credit.

9jatriot:
Kai....

If you follow Nigerian's mouth take make policy, they go put you for trouble.

I cannot count the number of times I used to hear before now, statements like "We are paying for darkness, give us power and we wee pay for it"

Now people don see light now they de write petitions.

Kai.

Just like subsidy removal, almost every so called expert on TV and radio programs said subsidy had to go and that no nation can afford to have multiple exchange rates, now government removed subsidy and harmonised the exchange rate. As soon as there was a fallout of increase in prices and high inflation, the so called experts abandon government to face the music alone.

Even some of the candidates like the lamba king wen be talk say Day 1 he go remove subsidy start to de change mouth.

So, people who were saying that they were ready to pay for power as long as it is available, where are they?

Hahaha 🤣😂

jeff1993:
Put them in band A. They voted for tinubu

Nigerians are wonderful. Everyone was shouting give us constant electricity. Now constant electricity has come and you are running away because you want it cheap. Every good thing has a major price. We want subsidy in everything including bride price. Hahaha 🤣😂

canalily:
.. and what do you think you have in Nigeria? Freedom to suffer without hope abi??

If you don't like us leave us.

Whytelyon:
Can you go to Chad and Mauritania ? Or Djibouti?

I didn't condemn Nigeria. I love Nigeria and God has great plans for us. My advice is to those that said that there's no place worse than Nigeria.

Chikel20000:
Just wish I can relocate abroad.....dis country is no longer funny

This is not the substance of this story.

elmodee7:
Sadly apart from Haiti, Somali, Afghanistan, Madagascar, paua new guinea which other country is not better than Nigerian.

Oh there are some that Nigeria is better than?

canalily:
Abigail abegi tell us please, which country Nigeria better pass for Africa in general so that we no go de go there? We're waiting for urgent answers ooh

No country. So leave and go to Sudan. FYI Gambia just received a set of Nigerians under TAC. For some years Nigeria has been LENDING personnel to them to run their judiciary and stem. People don't value what they have until they lose it.

Whytelyon:
Which country is Nigeria better than Now? Ethiopian embassy just stopped giving visa to Nigeria , both e-visa and paper visa. Our passport is visa free to 25 countries from 59 it used to be.

No country. Just run out of the country and enter anyone that you like.

Eduadolero:
I just hope there is a country really worse than Nigeria

Go to Mali na.

papyjaypaul:
This government loves name changes. It looks like part of propaganda. To give you a feeling they are doing something.

Changed the name of subsidy payment to under recovery.

Changed the name of vacation to working vacation.

Changed the national anthem to old anthem.

Changed the name of protests to treason.

Changed the name of FIRS to NRS.

APC, change!

Federal Inland Revenue Service.... inland revenue? Is there another body that collects external revenue? Do your research before you criticize. Everything is not Cho Cho on the Internet. Ask experts why the change in name?

The farm settlements were very popular during Michael Okpara's regime during the old Eastern region. What are the state governments doing to bring back the experience?

Hemanwel:
These ones are oblivious of what Nigerians back home are going through. When relatives call them for financial assistance, they think it's just a cunny attempt to inconvenience them.

They should try making attempt to find out what Nigerians are going through.

What a shameful display of insensitivity!

Shebi you have time to type this here? Abroad you no go get this type of time. You must work your ass off to pay bills. You must worry about paper. You experience racism. You must be extra conscious of whatever you do because if you do anyhow you see anyhow. No tribal sentiments to fall on. No uncle or auntie to give you connection.

In Nigeria we want everything that is in abroad but we don't want to work or pay for it. We want to enjoy subsidized fx, electricity, petrol, school fees, no payment of taxes etc.

ogaemma:
Those people who traveled out of Nigeria before now do not know what God have done for them.

If you dey foreign land and oyibo do you then you will appreciate your papa land no matter how e be.

AcuraZDX:
Omoh

Is EFCC & ICPC not aware of this mess of the Budget? What is the relevance of our anti corruption fighting institutions? Are the politicians now bigger than our institutions set up to checkmate & fight corruption?

Seems corruption is normalized now in d country.

This nonsense is coming from constituency projects. The lawmakers are crooks. By doing this it becomes difficult to check the figures for constituency projects. Why can't they create separate expenditure heads for constituency projects so that the law makers are held responsible.

hisgrace090:
Many poor Nigerians families have bn eronously included in this band a,b and c making it very difficult for them to use light again.
Question now is why pushing Nigerians out of everything that makes life meaningful?
Constant electricity that is not affordable is of no need and as good as constant darkness.

Energy is never cheap anywhere in the world. We want things that are available abroad but we don't want to pay. They thought that it was before now when they used to divert power without paying. The bands are done based on location. If where you live falls under band A and you can't afford it then relocate. Eno easy to be a big man.

MadPolitician:
Where are the performances you're talking about? Where are buharis and Tinubus "two years" wonderful performances? Has the country not been practicing 4 years double tenures that has ruined everything and accentuated the level of ethnic acrimony across regions? Copying everything done in America, is part of our political problems in Nigeria. Who needs a bicameral Legislature at Abuja for instance, when all of tinubus bills are passed with ease?

Imagine the billions that could be saved if we only have a single house of less than 60 men as the National Assembly. Atiku seems to be the only one amongst them, that is worried about what is going on. Few days ago, he warned everyone of the dangers of a "one party state", and some were laughing because they are currently ontop. They will soon cry when they're at the receiving end. He seems to understand that an illegitimate president, can not spur a nation towards political peace and economic growth.

Na now atiku wake up?

Sheistoopretty:
Nigerian men are Us£less..... All of them

Nigerian men don deal with this one well well. Sorry dear.

Sheistoopretty:
Nigerian men are u$eless...... All of them

You have surfaced again?

JoeyNaza:
So why was your reformist with a strong liver part of the gang up against positive change, 9 years ago. He protested and wailed with you gullible people at ojota day and night, cooking up various propaganda and all when fuel was 97 per litre. Today, fuel is 1K and you guys are calling him a reformist based on what agbado politics or economics.

Face the facts, Tinubu played politics with the truth in 2014, today he is paying for it. Another fact is that you guys voted for a packaged failure and still supporting incompetence.

The same way your obi is attacking the reformist of today. Give him the job tomorrow and he will still introduce reforms. After all he campaigned that he will remove subsidy but he is attacking subsidy removal today.

JoeyNaza:
What happenned when the spineless Jonathan attempted to take hard decisions. Your beloved Tinubu went out to protest with his unintelligent folks, now you clowns want to make yesterday's hard decision today.

Jonathan gave up because he hasn't got the liver of a reformist. Any true reformist must expect attacks and must ride them. No serious reform is painless.

OChimex:
Mumu liar. How can an old man be lying like a kid? Does he think the reality won't counter his lies?
Why is Tinibu this stupid?
So this is his master strategy? Lie in the face of glaring evidence?

Give us your counter evidence.
