Namaster:
Endeavour to read the article.
NOT just the headline.

Nigeria is NOT being accused of having Forced Labour System.
But IMPORTING goods produced with forced labour, likely from China.

Sahara Reporters is being MISCHIEVOUS with the headline.
SR is a FAKE NEWS merchant.

Plus, the Forced Labour claim is just an EXCUSE by the PDFile to reinstate TARIFFS that have already been deemed ILLEGAL by the courts.

The PDFile is still imposing TARIFFS of up to 10% on countries that they claim DON'T even import goods produced with Forced Labour.

Thank you my brother. I knew that many will not understand.

helinues:
It's hypocritical of USA to be accusing Nigeria of having force labour system.

There is no evidence of such system in Nigeria. The Eastern Congo mine, majority of the companies using minor to do force labour are from USA, but they can never see such kind of a thing

Modified: To those saying I didn't read the article, didn't same USA accuse Nigeria of forced labour just some months ago, that didn't work, it's now goods from China . Make una dey take time to be comprehending my comments

The first town crying from Usa was Chinese funding the terrorists, till today, it's yet to be substantiated

Then Christian persecution, that also didn't sell

They initially came up with Nigeria having a child labour system, it was a joke talk with no response, now it's increasing the tariffs from the goods from Chinese . How many America companies are operating in China? Where is the likes of Apple operating from and who are the workers

Did you read the content properly. The US concern is importing goods that were produced with forced labour. If Nigeria imports goods from foreign countries that were produced with forced labour. This is the target. Not using forced labour in the country.

faceland:
I have never seen a white even use that word.

They rather take pride in their body of work.

They do. On what basis is funded foreign scholarships based? Is it brilliance? Isn't first class evidence of brilliance?

Remember something here...

Atiku was NEVER president..

The propaganda against him is from the SW, just like they maligned Peter Obi, because they both want a better NIGERIA, by removing Escobar Yekini Elchapo TINUBU.

Atiku is not truthful. He is bending everything. Look at him now accusing OBJ of supporting his kinsman when he knows that OBJ has never seen anything good in Tinubu.

The truth is that Atiku is trickish and inordinately obsessed with the ambition of being president. His desperation has no limits. Someone that picked you straight to vice president without your being part of the campaign. Less than three years into the tenure you were planning how to impeach him. You didn't mind the crisis that would bring to the country. A country that was under military rule for so many years. Under Abacha Nigeria was a pariah nation. The winner of cleanest election was murdered. His wife was murdered. Many killed and many went on exile. Suddenly there was divine intervention and democracy returned.

Just three years into it you wanted to truncate it and return Nigeria to dark days because of selfish ambition. Today the same person is standing and pontificating to Nigerians and many sides him. If he had truncated democracy then would there be presidency for him to contest today. This is the Atiku that Obi and his gang joined and told us that they are the Moses of Nigeria.

patrikoolar:
Obvious truth that is. The purported letter was dated July 6, but we are just seeing it today almost month end, why?

For Diabolical intentions...

6th July is one year ago abi? Every Tom Dick and Harry has become interrogator courtesy of social media. In those days of newspapers some of these ones can't publish a short article on Open-Ed.

Nackzy:
They all know the truth but they're scared

Scared of what. If you are wise would you point out the faults of your wife in public when you can correct her privately?

What Fashola did was wisdom. Did you ever see Tinubu criticize Buhari publicly? Everything must not be Obi's style. Btw when you think of brilliance, poise and polishing Fashola is very far ahead of Obi. But small Obi is all over the place challenging Fashola's oga.

AMINDA:
If Tinubu also attempts to go for third term (assuming, heavens forbid, that he wins his re-election), Shettima will work with other patriotic Nigerians to remove him. The bigger question Nigerians are beginning to ask is, why have all the presidents from the Southwest region so far been seemingly drunk with power and dictatorial with a penchant for never wanting to voluntarily relinquish power? It's becoming a pattern.

All the presidents? How many presidents that completed their terms and want to go for third term? I used to respect your opinion before but this time e get as ebi.

BENEAMATA:
The worrying aspect is that the guy comes off as dull and half baked anytime he tries to profer his many " theories " and opinions on issues that makes him seems the more out of his depth in this his presenter job . As in, he wants the government to impress him or like , God ! A so called investigative journalist wants the people he accuses to do his job for him . No wonder one vdm thinks he is good at unravelling . What with folks like this chancing their way to a paycheck by claiming journalist .

My brother I tire ooo. If he's not a lazy "journalist" he should do a detailed investigation and unravel whatever that he thinks that is wrong with the announcement that the government made and bring them to the knowledge of the public. Not just lazily sit behind a microphone and ask government to give him what he will still debunk because of morbid hatred. As if he is what?

AMINDA:
This is what all Nigerians of good conscience are demanding for right now. Release the letter!

Release which letter? That chicken called Rufai thinks of himself so highly that because he sits in a studio and dish out hate against a government then he can demand anything. Official diplomatic communication between two presidents will be made public to please Rufai.


Who taught that guy journalism. A journalist is supposed to be neutral. To Rufai it has become a tool of hatred. What gets me annoyed is who the hell is Rufai. Prior to 2023 who knew him. We know the Abatis, Yakubu Mohammeds, Ray Ekpus, Dele Giwas etc. Who is Rufai please?

Ladymillion:

This one that you are defending, are........ don't feel offended.

anonimi:
Investors meaning banking and insurance recapitalisation funds, to redress their eroded capital and asset value due to hyperinflation because the master strategist failed to crash the price of petrol and failed to make a dollar equal to N300 in the short term despite borrowing SPV $3.3 billion from Afreximbank to defend the currency

When will these window dressing propaganda stories stop? Will they ever stop

You are funny 🤣 with your hatred and propaganda. Do you think that investors are sentimental? They see what you can't see. If the present fundamentals and expected earnings of the companies are not right do you think that investors will put their one kobo into them?

What is the propeller of good fundamentals and expected earnings. FYI it's good macroeconomic policies. Was it like this during Buhari's regime? If peradventure 2027 comes and PBAT loses I can bet you that there will initially be massive capital flight because the two leading opposition candidates haven't come out to coherently tell the public their likely superior policies. All that they keep saying is to condemn and that they will cancel this and that.

Ask someone like Pat Utomi even with his pretences and he will tell you the present investors perception of Nigeria. He will not say it in public. Please don't ask Obi oooo. That one doesn't know anything. He's idea of being a good president is to use one shoes for ten years and fly on economy class.

GOFRONT:
No peace for the wicked.

All thanks to OLUWADONALD EKENEDILICHUKWU BATURE TRUMP!!

Waste of effort. Atiku has nothing to campaign with. His lobbyist is just trying to justify huge dollar that he paid to him.

Why them dey reject us like this? We dey attach them to ourselves but they just dey detach. We claimed that Jonathan na one of us. We even fought for him pass his Ijaw brothers but the man no identify with us. During the campaign for 2023 election we said that Wike is one of us but the man rejected the tag. Why why why. Are we begging people to be part of us?

ZUBY77:
These thieves always make it look like Igbos are begging them.
Of exactly what importance is he to Igbos?
With all the revrnue money in Rivers State, he refused to fix Aba - PH express. Alex Otto had to fix it.

Which Alex Oti? Everything is not hype.

No

malali:
Pretending these scandals don’t exist doesn’t make them disappear. A fake council using forged documents from your Chief of Staff’s office secures CBN accounts, budget allocations, and federal secretariat space, and your response is “investigate later”?

This is not governance. This is enabling.You came promising to fight corruption, yet every week another racket surfaces inside your administration, unrecorded spending, shadow agencies, and now this brazen PFIPC fraud.

The more you look away or kick the can down the road, the more you discredit your entire anti-graft stance.Nigerians are not fools. Either you’re complicit, or you’re too weak to stop it. Either way, history is watching.

Clean house now, or own the legacy of another administration that talked tough but protected its own. The choice is yours. But the shame is becoming national.

Who blew the lead? The same government. Not opposition. Not the press. It means that such had happened in previous regimes but this regime brought it to the public. If the government had wished they could have covered it up and you and I wouldn't have known this.

Let's give them credit while await the outcome of the investigation. The target might not be Nigerian money but foreign governments and entities while presenting themselves as genuine Nigerian agency.

mrvitalis:
This is not a construction contract that secondary
This is a future tax agreement , it was agreed and sealed years ago

You can’t break such contracts without fines especially when MTN has done their part

My brother I'm a chartered accountant. I didn't want to say it. I know what I'm talking about. A tax credit is like a voucher that is only drawn on. The contract is between the construction company and FG. FG supervises and approves IPCs. MTN only pays and deducts the amount from their tax liability. Right to supervise, maintain quality standards and terminate the contract is reserved by the FG. Where there is no approved IPC MTN cannot pay and they will claim no tax credit.

Time to toilet will tell them the real meaning of eating raw pepper

My pity to their anus in advance

chatinent:
Before a sitting president like Tinubu allows another to overtake him, he would rather see Nigeria burn than concede defeat

Realistically who will defeat him? Obi with a rag tag party? Atiku with a party in confusion? Obi is not even preparing for election. He's just on social media and ARISE TV everyday talking. PBAT and his team are at the background preparing.

When they formed their coalition they celebrated and made so much noise. Their supporters said that it was over for APC. When PBAT and APC hit them with defections they accused them of offering billions to force the defectors.

When the naivity of their forming coalition and buying over parties without due diligence hit them through multiple court cases they accused PBAT of stifling opposition and turning Nigeria to one party country.

Now PBAT and APC are busy preparing for election and the opposition is busy playing to the gallery. When the results roll in they will shout rigging.

All the off season elections are not being used by them to test their strength. Just noise all the time.

Who is NDC chairman abeg? Who are their governorship candidates. We only hear of Obi and Dickson.

mrvitalis:
You guys are weird

We should praise him for not canceling a project and paying heavy fine ?

We Igbos n you people are not the same sha we are totally different

Which heavy fine? I'm sure that you don't know how construction contracts work. I was in the industry as a senior worker for seventeen years in a foreign construction company. I know the industry and the mode of contracts like the back of my hand. All abandoned contracts tell me which one attracted fine?

You miss it if you think that I'm not igbo but I think and behave differently.

mrvitalis:
This road reconstruction was not conceived by Tinubu administration
They didn’t award the contract
Tinubu government have not spend one kobo on this road yet taking credit

This is an MTN road done with a tax credit
Conceived and awarded by Buhari administration

Don’t get why Tinubu wants credit

Give credit to whom credit is due. In Nigeria succeeding governments inherit projects and abandon them. Tinubu could as well have cancelled the tax credit to MTN. A tax credit is not cast on stone. The government can cancel it, measurements of work done to-date will be done and evaluated and MTN will be allowed to claim only that and the work will be abandoned.

Why are you refusing to give credit to Tinubu? I thought that you said that Tinubu is Buhari and Buhari is Tinubu? For all that went wrong in Buhari's government you used to say that Tinubu hoisted Buhari on Nigeria. That Nigeria became hell since APC took over. Why the separation now because the story is positive?

Nuff Said.

Nay....Air Peace did business. They were paid by FGN. Besides Nigerian government from Buhari till now has been so good to Air Peace. The CEO is always grateful and doesn't get involved in tribal politics. Remember that majority of the returnees are mostly your people.

As for me, can a member of a tribe hate this same tribe? It's possible that he might hate the general character of the tribe. Thanks 👍

wonlasewonimi:
He is spitting facts but data boys would misinterpret his emotions

Is it clear to him now that the pains of today is because we neglected to do what we ought to do some years back that would have come with little or no pain.

Then why does he so much hate a person that decided not to take the same easy route that past leaders took? The person decided that we can't continue this fake life. We either take all the pains now and do what we ought to have done some forty or fifty years back without pain or continue this pretence and eventually crash.

Onewazobia:
Was it a quarters transferable to next judges ?
Or gift to current judges

Quarters for judges in service in Abuja. If they retire or are transferred they will have to vacate.

Onewazobia:
We shouldn't overlook that. I think he raised a very important issue: Why should the Federal Government be building houses for judges? Hmm.
With a system like this, we can't move forward, whether it's Obi, Tinubu, or Atiku.

Why should the executive build legislatures quarters? I'm asking you and Falana?

The executive builds quarters for ministers and commissioners. Builds quarters for federal and state legislatures. What is wrong in building for the judiciary?

We haven't heard Falana for awhile. He wants to make his usual noise.

AMINDA:
They are rather running to town celebrating policies like subsidy removal, naira floatation, taxation, hike in WAEC fees, and calling it "bold reforms." Meanwhile, the lived realities of ordinary Nigerians is saying the opposite.

Sanusi spoke to governments in Nigeria. In your heart of hatred once you hear policy in a federation like Nigeria your mind goes to Tinubu in Abuja.

In developmental economics in a federation the center is responsible for creating broad policies while the states and local governments create specific policies. When a state receives huge revenue and waste it on white elephant projects would you blame the center?

Anyway I can under...... your moniker is Aminda. Your mind must be Aminda.

Naysayers over to you. One of them above asked where are the others but he didn't read where the security agencies said that they are still being investigated.

givedemwotowoto:
Nigerians must fight for their democracy else they will lose it forever.

It will get worse if these people ever get re-elected.

We should be smarter than this junk journalist. The item that he picked is an account head. What is the make up of that account head? Oseni should find out this before making his usual noise. Very lazy journalist. Just sit in the studio, pick anything and dish out to undiscerning public.

"They Told Us Subsidy Was Gone, But Quietly Spent ₦7.1tn" - Rufai Oseni



Source

As Oseni complains that citizens don't trust government so are many discerning people don't trust his criticisms. You don't present yourself as someone that solely holds out to find faults and never sees anything good in a government and expect serious people to take you serious.

You have told us that there is an expenditure head in NNPC accounts that you assume to be for subsidy. If you are a good journalist and not a chochocho one you should go ahead and investigate the make up of the account head so that we will clearly know whether it has components of fuel subsidy or not. This is professionalism and not his brand of armchair journalism.

CaptainFM1:
Think about it like this....
If you have $50.5billion in 2009,
Should you be having $51.85billion in 2026?

Is that growth?

You should ask presidents before now. Why didn't they build on what they inherited?

CaptainFM1:
APC and wayo figure! Do they factor inflation into it?

Is $50.5 billion dollars in 2009 not far better than $51.86 billion dollars of 2026?

You should be asking yourself how come the last time we had it this high was 17 years ago?

Why did we have it low for the past 17 years?
What were the presidents in these years doing?
Why didn't they build on what they got in 2009?
What did the present regime do to bring it this high even with heavy investment in infrastructure?

I heard that net reserves are around forties from inherited mere $3 billion.

Mumusaphire:
What’s this foreign reserve mean for please my people.

It's savings in foreign currencies that belongs to the country. It shows the capacity of the country to import or pay bills in foreign currencies. If it's low(uwahala don come). It means that the country has low capacity to pay bills in foreign currencies. It's one of the signals that shows that the economy is sick. Foreign investors will begin to avoid the country. It's more complex than this but this one don due.
