I think I'll give this a try, while I continue with my European qualification assessment and evaluation. Would love to practice in Europe to help boost diaspora remittances

Hope one can resign at will?

It has a fixed number of years service. There is a bar when it comes to progression.

With a good lawyer this lady can win. Prostituion is illegal. That man can be jailed.

Person wey dey scam for #30k fit pay lawyer?

This one can't deceive Trump. Trump wouldn't fall for this. He has told everyone: avoid going to America.

Labour party has created a shadow ministry - ministry of condolence and food serving. Peter is the minister in charge. Obi is carrying out his responsibility. well done minister Obi.

pocohantas:
No wahala.
They should also embrace other men sleeping with their women. After all, na person wife Yul Edochie snatch. Snatch the pikin join. Now Mr Obasi dey cry for TVC news. A married man's sidechick is one single guy's serious babe. So let's all tolerate ourselves and live as one big happy family.

Can you go and pay the bride price of a man? Can your husband change his surname to your maiden name? Can he pack and come live in your paternal home? Can you have more than one husband at a time? Can you make your husband full house husband?

lionshare:
If there is any sector I can confidently say this current administration has the capacity and expertise to transform, it is definitely the oil and gas sector.

The man at the helm has good understanding of the sector. For the first time gas has been separated from oil so that there can be more focus.

A trader can only focus on buying and selling

And if they don't manage their finances well, the country they represent in their time can't take care of them niiiii.

If I'm a cardiologist practicing in government hospital and I fail to plan for my tomorrow, when things happen then I should become a government liability?

Footballers refuse to understand that their career has a short life span. As an entertainment profession they are paid heavily. It behoves them to plan for their future. Sensible ones among them will financial advisors that help them invest.

The majority live bloated lifestyle and forget that a major injury ends the career.

Prince16:
This was someone that played for grade A clubs o . Inter milan, AC milan, AJ Auxere etc as well as playing for the super eagles.
Are his mates not kanu and okocha? Why are those not complaining?

He must have mismanaged his resources or was not informed enough to 'diversify' into biznaze like the okochas and kanus.

He should count himself lucky to reach the height he reached in soccer out of over 200 million Nigerians.

Majority of them got their exposure through Nigeria. Nigeria gave them the platform. Taribo's son can go and play for any nation that he wishes. Many want the chance.

One of PBAT's governance signature.


Not enough content...... I no sabi plenty book

Believeintruth:
But you were among those hailing Buhari and saying his policies are great. So now you are criticising him for not honoring FX obligations.

I didn't. I supported Buhari's coming because there was so much corruption, indiscipline and no one controlled politicians under Jonathan unlike OBJ's time. I did this because of his antecedents but he failed totally.

MICHEALADEX:
How much of your loan was buhari servicing?

How much was he paying governors?

Mr metrics please answer!

You didn't add loads and loads of foreign exchange obligations that were never met. All cleared under PBAT.

infohenry:
You are intelligent, you are one those people in Nigeria that are sway by their propaganda. You are not paying subsidy, not defending naira and oil production is on the rise and they gloating over foreign reserve.

What did Buhari eventually leave the reserves at? Buhari's government is no longer APC?

israelmao:
External reserve is shoring up in the face of intense hunger, unemployment and poverty.If people are really feeling the positive impact of this govt ordinary men and women on the streets would speak in support of it.

So we should use all our savings to give free food and forget about tomorrow. If any adverse thing happens to our economy or world economy then the country will be helpless?

jmoore:
Our foreign reserve reached 47 billion dollars in 2018 under Buhari.

Buhari was paying subsidy and was defending naira.

Tinubu is not paying subsidy and has devalued naira.

Our foreign reserve should be hitting above 100 billion dollars currently.

So Buhari has become an achiever because it fits in your narrative. He was no longer APC.

Good one .......more should follow. Foreigners have turned Nigeria to cybercrime hub.

PlasmaTV:
Did Tinubu tell you what he will do differently?
Did he attend any presidential debate?

Off the road

Without trying to defend PBAT Tinubu never for once spoke against the government that he succeeded. The popular credentials that spoke for him during the elections were his political history and the work he did as governor. Most people including myself still trust him because of these. I have searched and I'm still searching to find out why I should trust Obi.

If we must make an alternative choice we need facts and not cho cho cho.

DeepSight:
Jamboree as usual.

They don't care about the actual technical work.

Estacode, etc are more important.

While their broke online defenders make excuses and laugh off the failure that will create their own hunger, underdevelopment and backwardness for generations . . . .

If so many officials relevant and irrelevant embarked on this trip Mr Obi will cho cho. If they select a few relevant number according to their plan Mr Obi will still cho cho.

Whichever way he will still cho cho. So, allow him to cho cho. It's his pass time.

PlasmaTV:
Peter Obi, their nightmare.
The one who speaks and the camp of the enemy quakes in fear and trembling.

Some folks were paid heavily to do their job, but they've gallivanted away from their duty post, just like their principal, BAT, is apt to do.

Peter Obi should spend more time on telling us what he will do differently if given the opportunity. He's hiding this so that we will not see how hollow is ambition is.

Going up and down picking holes in every action of the government will not build his profile in the eyes of the discerning. When you appear too frequent in the news you become un-news worthy.

Again let him tell us what he can do differently from what the present government is doing. We want to assess his capacity. Being the president of Nigeria is a complex job.

Streetinvestor2:
And u decided to work for APC after atiku refused to equally pick u for vp

He talked about his case very openly unlike the grass cutter that said that his reason for joining coalition of annoyed people is that he wants to rescue Nigeria.

DoctorStanley:
Ok, so find me an article like the ones below but that applies to US instead of Nigeria

You are saying a different thing entirely. We are talking about America's condition for issuance of visa. Diaspora remittance don't come through new entrants into USA. They come through Nigerians with valid papers in foreign countries most of them well settled. USA's new visa conditions even if Nigeria retaliates will have little or no bearing.

Besides America's restrictive visa conditions over the years has significantly reduced their contribution to our diaspora remittance. The bulk comes from Europe, Asia and Canada.

DoctorStanley:
I bet you if the roles were reversed US would not reciprocate because they know it would only cost them money, and their eyes are always on the money NOT reciprocity!

Assuming US decides to impose 50% tax on any remittances from Nigeria, will Nigeria reciprocate and impose 50% tax on remittances from US?
It's NOT everything you reciprocate!!
Someone comes to your shop to spend money. You go to his shop to make money. He says he'd start charging you a small amount to come to his shop. You angrily retaliate and say you'd also start charging him to come to your shop!😅

Nigerians that go to USA for medical treatment, holiday, schooling (not japa), business etc. spend money there and they don't make money there. These are the majority.

Those that go for skilled work visa are few because it's not easy to get and America needs their skills as much as they need their dollars.

Using post graduate route as japa is not common because of the visa restriction.

SmartPolician:
The US government is asking for visa applicants' social media accounts so they know those supporting terrorist organisations in the Middle East, particularly in Gaza.

But why is the Nigerian government asking for their social media accounts? BTW, how many Americans are willing to relocate to Nigeria and hustle? Some decisions are not worth it. Tinubu's team should focus on fixing Nigeria, if that's even their goal.

So Americans don't come to Nigeria ba? How many Nigerians have successfully relocated to America to hustle?

jmoore:
READ!

The topic is visa not importation.

Many Nigerians migrate to USA more than those going to China.

Nigeria needs USA cos USA have given jobs and high quality of living to many Nigerians.

How many Nigerians get American jobs from Nigeria?

DoctorStanley:
Pick your fights! It is not every fight you get into.
This stupid government should be making it easy for Americans to come here and spend their money.
Unlike Nigerians going to US, they don't come to make Naira. They come here to spend money!

Nigerians that travel to USA go for free abi? Just free ride?

Any time I enter the filling stations to refill and I see fuel attendants sitting down waiting for customers I smile. I know what it used to be in the past. Long queue, man-hours lost and of course black market.

No more three cars for one family. Fake lifestyles of Nigerians are being reduced. A poor nation living above her means. The politicians are just our only problem. Who will tame them? They are all in one page.... Obi inclusive.

We are getting there but we are paying the price. It's paining everyone.

RhinoChest:
What the government should do is upgrade Band A customers to a new category called Band A+. Customers in Band A+ would be guaranteed 24 hours of uninterrupted power supply and would pay an additional fixed charge—for example, ₦10 per 24-hour cycle—on top of their normal tariff. This fixed charge would only apply if the distribution company actually delivers 24 hours of uninterrupted supply. If they fail to do so, the charge should not apply and should instead roll over.

Furthermore, if Band A+ customers experience an outage longer than one hour (excluding faults from the National Grid or TCN), the government should impose penalties on the distribution company—for example, fines of ₦10 million for every hour of outage.

Band B customers should be upgraded to Band A, while only Bands C and D should continue to enjoy subsidy temporarily. This will cut the amount of subsidy significantly and cushion the effect of all these economic reforms on the very poor.

Sound idea.

ajoguegbe:
Nice one provided they're there to represent christ. Beliecers are supposed to be the light of the world. The only challenge is that many only use the church as a cover up. If I herald a guess I can say that 99% of those who enter politics in Nigeria from the platform of church are not really ambassadors of the Kingdom. I wish they were, this country would've been a better place. Without trying to sound like I'm campaigning but a Peter Obi is exhibiting more Christ like politicking than even the reverend so called.

And I'm not just talking about the politicians, the voters themselves that claim to be believers are the biggest tool in the hand of the politicians. Most so called Christians make decisions on the basis of tribe, religion or denomination not the according to Christ like character judgment.

The church would've have been a huge political block to influence our politics and culture. If Nigeria will change it must begin from the pulpit what we preach to the congregation. All this self gratifying, ego building greed motivating messages should be curtailed. Let's preach Christ.

You destroyed your write up by mentioning Peter Obi. It shows that you have a political bias. The church is made up of people therefore you should expect the good and the bad. But the very best are in the church. When you put up a good write up like this stop mentioning pretenders names.

Hemanwel:
The results we are seeing that are being released are obviously results that have been prepared even before the casting of ballots.

How many of the electorates knew the candidates of the parties let alone coming out to vote?

Old story when it doesn't go your way. When it goes your way then it's a reflection of the wish of the electorate.

APC..... digital party. All other parties are analog. Very organized party. Change chairmen and positions seamlessly.

Hemanwel:
Who else has noticed that Peter Obi's style of opposition politics has been issue-based? Unlike the ruling party and its supporters who have called him unprintable names; got people on payroll to bring him down, Obi has focused on issues rather than name-calling, character assassination, and whatnot.

Nay and I repeat nay

lordm:
Peter Obi is quietly waiting for bad news to use as a means to promote himself.

Tinubu will lose the next election as long as these bad news continues

Obi should come out serious. Let him tell us in concrete terms what he is going to do different from what is being done now viz exchange rate, return of subsidy, crude production, tax reform, employment etc. We need all these so that we can appropriately judge him. Criticizing without alternatives doesn't make him smart.

chukwuwendu:
Mr poster, please tell me......what's the reality on ground

Stop deceiving yourself

What do you mean by reality on ground?
