See werey here again. Was it Americans that subscribed it.It is not Nigerians that bought into it.and institutional investors. Then u have banks,pension fund managers ,fund managers corrupt nigeria politicians.
Do u know it is another way of borrowing internally. They just borrowed for that time duration to loot..What are they doing with all this borrowing should be your concern.
How do they hope to pay.They will next claim the reserve is growing when the shore it up with borrowed money

Euro bond means borrowing internally? Nothing aboki no go read for nairaland.

ZombieTAMER:
This party called APc opposed refinery sale under PDP


how exactly should we define evil?

Show evidence of APC opposing refinery sale under PDP. People have turned public discussion to something else. Internet has become a market square.

Mrfixitt:
Mumu FG na now una eyes clear abi ? Obasanjo advised Tinubu on what to do but like a clueless man he is, he gave deaf ears.Almost $20b wasted yet nothing is working..May Tinubu NEVER HAPPEN to Nigeria again

My friend avoid bias when you criticize. The turnaround maintenance, the disbursement and the management team were actions of Buhari. PBAT inherited them. As sensitive as sale of a major asset like NNPC is would it be the first actions of a new president when commitment and expenditure has been made by previous administration? The logical thing is it not to encourage it to see if something good will come out?

If it didn't work out, the next step is to fire the team, put a new team in place and allow them to have a neutral look at the issue. Whatever comes out then a firm decision will be taken. Is this not what is happening?

Leadership is not a piece of cake 🎂.

Miramonica:
If Nigerians can leave emotions aside, they will know that this guy has no case to answer. But most people just hate him for no just cause.

Let's even say he did all that FG is accusing him of, MNK is saying you can't try him on illegality. The way he was brought into the country makes a mess of whatever they want to try him on....simple!

I want to ask you a simple question: since this case started for some years Kanu has been using lawyers. Now that the case is close to conclusion why did he suddenly decide to represent himself? The same man that mentioned the names of the high and mighty as his witnesses suddenly don't want to enter his defence. Kanu knows that the evidence against him will send him to jail. He wants to play to the gallery but he will end up jailed.

AMINDA:
Due to the inexperience and garrulous nature of those at the helm of affairs, Nigeria is not even in good terms with her neighbours. Now, we are gradually becoming isolated and a pariah state. How the tables have turned.

Chad that's landlocked and dependent on Nigeria? How Nigerians underrated their country surprises me.

Sonnobax15:

You left Nigeria for the UK in search of greener pastures,but all of a sudden you've forgotten why you went there and abandoned all your dreams simply because of one banny who may lead you to your doom

Bro, you're a Nigerian and we Nigerians don't give up ....We're known for that.......Leave that house for her....In fact,leave that relationship cuz it seems she's a weapon fashioned against you .....no loose guard bro..

He no fit because of paper. Na the lady dey cover him.

correctyourself:
Explain this to the police and let them escort you to the house, package you belongings and go.

But if you allow love control you, one day she would broke your head.

That lady needs serious help and treatment to overcome that habit which you can not render.

Even Your profile name self no show say u be gentleman o

He used her for paper. That's all. He no fit leave her.

osuofia2:
What changed, he protested 2011 with their Buhari against GEJ

You can go ahead and protest with GEJ and and other persons that you choose including your favorite MOG against this regime. If you are looking for Adeboye's validation you will not get it. It's his choice.

Sonnobax15:

Terrorists and their sympathizers nyash go just dey vibrate anytime Dem hear trump name .

They keep saying Nigeria is a sovereign state,like say mexico no be sovereign state too .

Trump no be their papa mate at all .

Did you read this well? USA collaborates....and not invades. The Mexican government said that they can only accept this.

osuofia2:
WHAT CHANGED, ISNT WHY HE DEMONSTRATED AGAINST WORST THAN BEFORE, WHY IS HE NO LONGER PROTESTING NOW

It's his choice. You have your choice. He's not the owner of Nigeria. Face your front. It's your choice to hate this regime. You have no right to drag anyone to join you.

osuofia2:
Why is Adeboye silent, is it complicity? .
Sowore we know you are working for the government when you decided to protest the release of Nnamdi KANU on the memorial of Endsars but as usual obidients couldn't see through your deceits and you even lured the lawyer of KANU to the police

Keep calling Adeboye. He was your former president, Senate president, state governor. He has held political positions before. The Nigeria government built his church. If it was because he chose to demonstrate against a government that you loved, has he no right to make choices? Are you supposed to dictate for him? Is he dictating for you? Is he forcing you to accept his choices as you want him to accept yours?

Kindered:
he's been living in Nigeria for decades before Tinubu curruption forced him back to his country

The Arnold guy apparently has nothing good to do in USA. Why so much interest on Nigeria? For people that are celebrating and inviting Trump, how many American fighters is he bringing? Nigeria is not small Libya. The vast North and forests how many can they cover? All terror groups around the world count America as number one enemy. How about if they regroup in neighbouring countries to launch real attacks against the south that is christian dominated? Will Trump send enough fighters to cover both northern and southern Nigeria?

Nigeria is too large and complex beyond what Trump thinks. The best he can do is to impose heavy sanctions and diplomatic muscle flexing. But evasion is not possible.

hatchy:
Yet we are still borrowing.
This week the Federal Government is poised to borrowing over 2.4 Billion USD to finance the 2025 budget.

This our economic posture is abracadabra kind of. The more you look the more you see.

In financing you have long and short term. Your reserves cover your short term while your loans are for long term. There are fundamentals that determine whether your economy is healthy even with long term loan.

I will not waste my time explaining further.

Nazgul:
Are Nigeria and China on the same economic level?

China is a global superpower with one of the strongest economies in the world. Their manufacturing, technology, infrastructure, and export strength are miles ahead of most countries, not just Nigeria.

In case you don't know, China has managed to industrialize rapidly over the last few decades, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty and becoming the world’s factory. Meanwhile, Nigeria is still struggling with unreliable power supply, poor infrastructure, insecurity, unstable policies, corruption and heavy dependence on imports.

That’s why when such lists come out, it’s not the same thing. The “countries of concern” list is largely aimed at African and Middle Eastern nations. Regions often labeled as politically unstable or high-risk. China might appear there due to political tensions with the West, but economically, they’re still too powerful to be treated the same way.

Our realities are not alike. While this can cripple us, China has the systems, industrial capacity, and global partnerships to withstand it.

Sebi America imposed duty, how far did it affect us? Aside arms which they hardly accept to sell to us there is minimal trade between America and Nigeria. It was not so in the past. The truth is that Nigeria has almost fully aligned her economy to Asia. How many American companies are here? Trump just wants to be everywhere at the same time. They have discovered that their economic policies that are hurting others are not hurting us. Not that we are rich but high cost of their products and services have made us to turn to Asia. Besides they import little or no crude from us.

Nazgul:
This your post exposes how shallow your knowledge about what happens to country of particular concern is.

Let me explain it to you. When a country gets categorized as a “country of concern,” it sends the wrong signal to the global community, especially investors.

Foreign investors rely heavily on stability, credibility, and security when deciding where to put their money. Once a country is flagged, it creates fear of political risk, unstable policies, and possible sanctions. That alone is enough to make international companies look elsewhere.

It also affects trade relations, travel opportunities, and access to international funding or partnerships. Even Nigerians abroad could start facing tighter visa and business restrictions because other nations now view us through a lens of suspicion.

Would you still say we shouldn't be worried about this categorization?

China dey there ooo

Mopolchi:
See what Tinubu has caused. This muslim-muslim ticket has turned out to be a curse to the country. God help us.

Better countries dey on the list. We be better country na. See Russia and China dey there. Who CPC help?

surgical:
it is called misplaced priorities, he is a self serving leader, the action is aimed at self preservation, allocating more money to those that will loot it rather than channelling to what will benefit majority of the people, Tinubu is not in power to do good for the greatest number of us, but for personal gain and he needs the support of the governors to remain in power, he has choosen the side he belongs to,certainly not on the side of the people

Is there any regime in this country that didn't witness strike from doctors?

Mrexcell:
This is what you get when u allow a hardened criminal mind take over the affairs of your nation.

It's a sign of weakness if a man always looks outside as source of his problems even when he makes no effort to solve them. Assuming without conceding that Tinubu wants PDP weakened are they not men? Can't they organize themselves and fight their common external enemy? What has been Bode George's efforts as an elder in resolving their problem?

It's share laziness for a group to constantly dodge their responsibilities and accuse others of being responsible for their failure. Was Tinubu and his party not attacked by the same PDP through OBJ but he withstood them. The truth is that PDP and almost all major parties are like rudderless ships. They all lack strong leaders. APC appears to be the only party that is presently led by a strong leader.

Kukutente23:
That's a silly excuse. And what do you mean by "our luck"?
Are you among the genuine decision makers in APC?
You're just a ball watcher at best
Know your place

Why are you full of gutter language? You must be mindful of the fact that this is a public faceless forum. You will be shocked at the level of people that come here. Some of us come here to ease our brain and that this place has more compact news. Some people here by their level have privileged information that they can never share here. Not everyone here is a layabout please.

Kukutente23:
Lol
That will be the biggest joke of the century

I have been waiting for this because I know it would have been a valid excuse for them

Now that they have a supermajority, APC especially Tinubu don't have any excuse to reinvent Nigeria to their utopian state they used to mouth when they were in opposition

Not now but after 2027 elections. It's risk to touch those areas. It will be a political suicide to touch almighty fuel subsidy, fx unification, tax reforms, local government autonomy etc all in one term and go ahead and touch restructuring. That would be stretching our luck too far. Wait for restructuring in second term.

Bmaster:
They are the first class citizens,in their own little understanding, they're feeling like the peacocks, can't you see the pride in them ?

They know last last,nothing will happen to them.


There was a country

It's not true. The truth is that the north is so vast. There are so many ungoverned places. Some places don't even have signs of governance. If you travel in the far north you will see large lonely land mostly bush and forests separating hamlets not even towns. You will need to have ten times the size of the present military to effectively police the North.

These fools take advantage of the above to behave as if they are too strong. They can't try such stunt in the south. Besides gorilla warfare is more difficult than conventional warfare. They just take advantage of a minor lapse, cause havoc and run away. The military is more used to conventional warfare.

writeprof:
So we have these big titles in the military and militants/bandits/herdsmen et al are having a field day. It shall be well.

You will not even mention that the president is very daring, ruthless and shows guts in his actions. The military will know that civilian president get grade.

olaric:
Almost 99.99% of the alleged plotters are from the northern part of the country...It's a clear message to the the southern part of Nigeria. The north is not happy.

Of course they are not supposed to by their nature. Fx money making machine closed. I heard that bureau de charge operators are crying. No more arbitrage through CBN cheap fx.

Oil subsidy is gone. Nnpc has been taken. The tax reforms are about to take off. The more productive a state is the richer. They fear total restructuring if PBAT wins second term. He's the only one from the south that can do these. That's why abi nitio they didn't want him. It was his political seed for years up north that helped him.

Wetin be your problem na? Old road no dey 🔐 close na.

geoworldedu:
Na wa o. Pastors ehm, very disgraceful people.

I was sitting in the midst of two people yesterday, arguing about marriage life. One was trying to back up his claims with the Bible, the other was balancing Bible and Quran because her father is a Muslim and she is a Christian. I was just watching because they don't even know that I am neither a Christian nor a Muslim.

The lady's marriage has collapsed after a dozen years in marriage. She said that about 6 people told her that she was the man's missing ribs before they got married. About 3 pastors told her that they are fit for each other. Someone even checked from traditional worshippers to claim same. Even some Muslim clerics said same. But the marriage failed, even despite how she tried to make it work by pleasing the man in every way.

The other man, a Christian was bitterly complaining how his wife would never listen to him. He was quoting Bible to say that wife has to be submissive. Wife has to respect their husbands.

I was just laughing inside my mind.
First, religion doesn't keep marriage, the couples do. They must be in agreement. They must be playing mates. They must try to elevate each other. One must not look down on the other.

That's how mine is working. Whatever I'm doing, I want my wife to also get to that height. Then we always reiterate our goal. We don't use Bible or Quran to build our relationship. We don't ask pastors for advice.

Pastors are there most of the times to ruin marriages rather than building it. We can see them manifesting here and there.

Try always dialoguing with your wife or husband instead of taking your matters to pastors or imam or traditionalists. It works good. But if two people cannot agree to the point that they have to start fighting physically, abeg call it quit before you become late.

My two cents.

All these your long grammar, what is the offence of the pastor?

LagosOrigin:
shut up abeg and stop defending rubbish . This will surely increase price of fuel in the country .

Let's watch.... what is the price of pms today? Bookmark 🔖 it. Remind me in one month's time when hopefully this policy would have come into effect if the price has gone above it. I promise to dash you my finance and accounting certificates.

BDW you asked me to shut up for mere conversation. That's gutter language. I wasn't trained like this.

PlasmaTV:
Not particularly. If fuel is abundant in Nigeria, why would we need to import?

Does it sound right that we have oil but no refinery?
O wrong nau

Importation has been sweet for depot and tank farm owners. They take out fx through it. Some have blending plants outside. Local producers can meet up to 80%. Why is Dangote exporting pms?

Gotocourt:
It's actually a good thing, local content 💯. It's to discourage import but middle men go spoil am.😥

Dangote will supply direct. Case closed 🔒🔐

Stevosty:
Nigerians should brace up for increase in fuel pump, una go see shege like never before, no job created, no subsidy on anything, no productive sector, but tax on surviving Nigerians.

You are shortsighted. Government wants to discourage importation but those that have used it all these years to milk our fx don't want. Rather than outright ban government elected to use tax. They will be humbled and go to local producers.

gare:
will this not increase the price on imported fuel, because i dont think Dangote is able to meet the daily consumption on fuel.

Importation will be minimal. Dangote has reasonable quantity but those that have enjoyed importation all these years don't want it to stop.

LagosOrigin:
This means Nigerians will pay more for fuel ⛽

Nay.... Dangote is winning. Buy local pms and stop or reduce importation.

alphaconde:
What does the president tell these Governors that makes them move in droves

Strong party leadership. PDP enjoyed strong party leadership under OBJ. After him non again. Saraki and co made so much mess because Bubu was not a strong party leader. LP has not strong leader because Obi is not one. He's looking for where food don done then he will use it to campaign.

PBAT is a strong party leader. That's what's going for APC. It will remain so while he's in office and out of office except he chooses to be indifferent.

The summary is presently, no party has strong leader except APC.
