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.

destinychildolu:
I am just curious. If all the governors decamp to APC and the people still want Tinubu out. What is going to happen?

Not possible. I marry you and I marry your children.

3seriez:
Politicians in Nigeria like to give sermon like they are not all birds of the same feather 🪶. Just some a lil better than others.

Don't mind them. Is Saraki not a sit tight leader. His father held Kwara state governance by the throat. He took over from his father. It was forcefully taken away from him by APC.

CTee1:
Good performance on paper… if the figures are true, standards of living should hv improved drastically. 2027 campaign in progress we are not born last night.

Standard of living should have improved drastically? How?

poiZon:
The last we bought was 70k, local rice

Local rice here is between 50k and 60k or a little lower depending on the source.

Elusive001:
We know. They propaganda posted up there sa8d "harvest". These guys have sold their souls to the devil.

Are the locally produced rice imported too? I live in Aba. There's no imported rice here but prices are dropping. Oya talk 🦜.

poiZon:
Why not just tell the people to face the reality than using the media to gaslight the people into believing that price of commodities has crashed.
We that r in the southern regions, we still buying rice at a costly price.
Does Nigeria start n ends in lagos, that they use lagos as a determinant price crash state?

Where do you live? How much are you buying rice there? I live in Aba.

MadamExcellency:
A bag of rice selling at a price equivalent to minimum wage is absurd.

A Nigerian soldier told me he earned N36,000 per month in 2014, and bought 4 bags of rice from his town at N7,000 each and still got N8,000 to run expenses for the month but today, he is paid N90,000 and he can only afford a bag of rice. Na so, I begin to pity them.

Justice for military cadets.

How many months will he eat the bag of rice? Is his salary meant for rice alone? How can you earn #36,000 and spend #28,000 on one item of expenditure?

ChoCho54:
You and who?

Koshi soun jareh!

I can understand through your moniker....ChoCho

Mrchippychappy:
Bro that's not the case. Crashing food prices when you have insecurity issues that led to the scarcity of food prices in the first place is not sustainable. What is basically happening here is that the FG are using the national reserves to balance out the actual price of the agricultural products so the sellers can at a rate that doesn't actually reflect the true cost of the product.

If for example a tuber of yam now sells for 3k due to insecurity and the FG covers N800 of that, the farmers can now sell for 2200, not because there's been an actual price reduction but because the FG covered for a substantial amount of that 3k.

It's a stop gap, it might help make food more accessible for a short time but it's not sustainable because the FG are taking funds directly from the national reserves and this would have to be replaced one way or the other (does the new 2026 tax policy ring any bells?) , Also that 3k tuber of yam would most likely sell for almost twice that price in 6 months to a year, as the Islamic terrorists destroy more farm lands and kill more farmers, meaning the FG would have to cover more cost for agricultural products which would in turn lead to more taxes on Nigerians ( remember the FG are not getting this money from thin air, they have to replenish the money they take out meaning more taxes OR request a loan from the IMF and to pay that loan we would need to raise money from somewhere, example...taxes!)

We could do this or, here's a thought, we could just crush the terrorists once and for all. And a first step towards doing this is by calling them terrorists and not bandits. Enough of the silly games

So what is your option and what are you saying: leave the food prices to soar until we crush the bandits. Are you people not the same people advocating for subsidy in every area of our economy? Were you not the same people that condemned Bubu when he shut the boarders to encourage local food production?

When the government quotes increased reserves you say that Nigerians are not feeling it. The same government is using the reserves according to you to make Nigerians feel it you still condemn. Ha ha ha.

When food prices were soaring you used it against the government and now that the prices are going down you still use it against the government. Ha ha ha ha. I tire ooo.

ChoCho54:
Propaganda and outright lies by APC is for the consumption of their laptop boys online.

But offline, these laptop boys are the worse hit by tinubumonics.

You flocked the market with imported food items which sold at cheaper rate without any consideration for local farmers and the inherent losses they'd incure, then went to town chanting hallelujah over a shortlived fit.

You guys are funny 🤣. The same people that were not happy with Buhari for shutting boarders against food imports are again not happy that PBAT opened the boarders for food imports. See you people's life?

JAYMMO:
When will FG set up committee to clear ex- PHCN staff' benefits?

Ask OBJ, Atiku and Jonathan. It was their action. Another person shit comot you come dey worry another person to come and clear the shit and on top of that you still dey abuse am.

chiagozien:
Then why are crying 😭😭😭

No one is crying 😭 I'm correcting you. Watch out what will happen between now and middle of November.

chiagozien:
He's very right, what is there to defend?

Accusing someone of terrorism without providing ingredients of terrorism found on him.



They real Case should be first court settle the jurisdiction of him to face trial, no saying he should add that among the written defense after his defense.



It shows they are not out for justice.






God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

This man has indirectly sentenced himelf to prison. I'm sure his senior lawyers must have told him the true position of law. The prosecutor's presentation and evidence were damning. They must have told him that nzogbu nzogbu will not help him but he ignored or as usual insulted them. They decided to hands off.

Once Kanu submits written address it means that he's resting his case on the evidence of the prosecutor and the judge will foreclose and give judgement.

AqualinaXYZ:
Will that Aso Rock white powder inhaler listen?




He wants everything to be in Lagos yet they complain of Lagos congestion




Any day a working seaport comes to south south that’s the end of Lagos revenue

You are appealing for my political patronage and you are abusing me. Can this work? Can you see why we cannot gain anything from regimes. We always play the wrong politics.

SpecialAdviser:
Only fuuls will misunderstand these words.
He is not commending Yahoo. He is simply saying that the ICT skill with which the yahoo boys use can be redirected to something better.

Most yahoo guys writes strong codes to break cyber secured assets. The problem is that theee idiot. S are using their skill to defraid innocent people. The government should equip good guys with sound ICT skill to achieve something better than what these animals are currently doing

There is nothing the government will do. They have skills that are in demand but they choose to use it to do crime because of the desire for quick wealth.

Penguin2:
Every Nkwo market day, you find irritants who have zero knowledge of what is going on in the Southeast giving their opinion and questioning Peter Obi’s stance on insecurity in the region, but we know what’s going on.

80% of the killings in the East has nothing to do with IPOB but political mercenaries or sponsored murderers who were activated to destabilize our region.

But as always, Igbos will recover from this.

We’ve recovered from worst.

Was it like this before IPOB?

PlushyRealtor:
When a nation's growth rises on paper but his prop sink in hunger(over 130 million Nigerians now living in poverty- IMF), this isn't progress- it is polished poverty wearing a mast of statistics.

It's possible if your population growth is more than your economic growth. We need to watch our population.

Sirjamo:
What I like most about this growth is, it's not powered by oil boom like the PDP era. It's the end product of strategic reforms by the great strategist himself.

This is an economic fact. It means that with good management it is sustainable unlike an oil induced growth.

FreeIgboho:
How about products made in UK that are still cheaper in Nigeria?
Or some global products like coke that is much cheaper in Nigeria?

Products made in UK but cheaper in Nigeria - trade policies. In some countries exports are subsidized by lower tax rate and incentives. Our importers bypass some of the duties through corruption.

Global products like coke - lower quality, lower labour cost and lower tax in Nigeria. These factors wipe out other costs associated with Nigeria economy eg power.

seunmsg:
Nigeria does not exist in isolation to global economic situations. In the same 2010 that you are talking about, China and India had a GDP growth rates of 10.4% and 10.3% respectively. Today, IMF is projecting same China and India’s GDP to grow in 2026 by 4.2 and 6.2 respectively. So, did Tinubu also brought APC to destroy and slowdown China and India’s economic growth?


Nigeria’s economic growth from 2010-2014 was powered majorly by the oil boom. In 2014, Nigeria had a GDP growth rate of 6.3%. That was the same year global economy started falling. The oil boom ended and Crude oil price was already on a free fall as a result of slowdown in global economic growth and By 2015 when APC took over, Nigeria was already borrowing to pay salaries and GDP growth rate had dropped to 2.7%.

Global pandemic finished off every country between 2019 and 2022 so what we have now is a global economy that is gradually recovering despite trade issues by Donald Trump. So, get yourself properly educated before jumping to compare Apple with oranges. While we all want a faster growth rate, we are now very stable and on a better and more sustainable growth trajectory.

Thank you. You are very well informed. Leave these political chochocho. Proper economic analysis requires reasoning without bias.

seunmsg:
This is a very good decision by Trump. The Biden administration’s conviction of CZ was simply an overkill. It was absolutely unnecessary. CZ took the bullet for both Binance and crypto in general to survive. Glad Trump has done the right thing by pardoning him.

They wrote here that he has interest in a crypto company linked to binance. That's corruption.

FreeIgboho:
I give up. What?

The simple answer:
1 the products are from China.
2 the Nigerian currency is weaker than pounds sterling.
3 logically a Chinese amount converted to both currencies should result to Nigerian price being higher than UK price.
4 why then is the UK price higher than Nigerian price?
5 answer: tax and trade policies. There is higher tax in UK than Nigeria. The trade policies encourages importation in Nigeria but discourages same in UK.

1.5m a month? And one can't live in Lekki?

I'm a landlord in Ipaja. My average rent is 1.2m per year. So how can someone live in expensive lekki with income of 1.5m per month. My teacher in personal finance class called it financial suicide
