MadPolitician:
NAFDAC made mistakes or maybe they intentionally wanted to hyjack traders goods for whatever reasons.
They are using a good excuse to perpetuate evil at places like Onitsha.

The Onitsha drug market has thousands of shops. Many of those are selling drugs, others are selling other things.
There is a very important need to find fake drugs and arrest those involved on that. Everybody agrees to this including most of the traders.

Problem is that NAFDAC invaded these markets at the wee hours of the night, blocked all entrances to the markets, and started pulling down shops and breaking into peoples shops without the owners of the shops being allowed to come around. How is that right?

Most traders have many millions in cash inside their shops. Most products may have been packed in ways that need explanation for the NAFDAC officials to understand. All that was required was the presence of the traders. If they are found to be selling fakes, they should be arrested and if not, their shops should be opened.

But NAFDAC officials prefer a gangster approach by going into shops, opening shops, taking whatever they want without the owners allowed to be present, when the owners are just a pole away..., that is nothing but an abuse of power!

See one of them oooo. Killer

The Economy is only growing on paper, citizens are in severe pains. Frown faces all over town, our purchasing power have been crippled already. Small Uber corolla is now 9/9.5 m yet some foolish ones will still vote this government in the next election, the idio.ts in nigeria are more than the wise hence the politicians will keep playing us fool

The greatest mistake that Nigeria will make will be to bring in another regime in 2027. The results of the reforms are beginning to emerge. A reversal will seriously hurt the economy. Imagine going back to multiple exchange rate regime, fixed exchange rate regime, return of petrol subsidy, slow down of efforts to increase crude oil production, reversal of tax policies etc etc. Almost all state governments will be grounded, salaries will be owed, projects abandoned. We will return to the era of using ways and means to fund recurrent expenditure.

Mrexcell:
I will support the death penalty if only they will implement it first on any corrupt public office holder or civil servant who steals above #50m of public funds.

Fake drugs dealers are worse than corrupt government officials.

creativejagaban:
We know your tribe don't read

If you can quote in the article where Nigeria was mentioned, I will start supporting Obi.

The OP probably drank mad man's poopo to have included Nigeria in the heading.

This is headless mob at play
Their blood pressure runs high whenever Nigeria is mentioned.....what a waste of a tribe

Some people think that there's an award for condemning and insulting Nigeria. They don't know that they are demarketing themselves. Mali released a statement on a policy by America. Nowhere Nigeria was mentioned. The op twisted it and included Nigeria in the headline. Fiam.... Nigerians started insulting and condemning their country. Nawaooo

dannygood:
Where was Nigeria mentioned?

Abi ooo

saintmm:
What is actually our stand in international diplomacy?
What actually is Nigeria doing in BRICS if you don't share the same diplomatic ideology with them.
With this, I see Nigeria on the middle of no where on international politics.

If you're pro-west then have nothing to do with BRICS and of you're for BRICS, stand with them.
If you want to be neutral then be.

Nigeria's foreign policy from the days of cold war has always been non-aligned.

aikyg:
How is the market notorious? What kind of narrative are you pushing? The Onitsha market is not the only market in the country where we have discovered fake products. Why is it the only market to be closed?

Wherever you find them, our people are behind it - onitsha, Aba, nnewi, idumota, trade fair, Kano etc.

SmartPolician:
It's totally wrong to shut down an entire market for the crimes of others - even if they are in the majority.

Good people cannot be paying for the crimes of evil people. Doing so defeats the essence of goodness.

Pick out the evil folks and deal with them ruthlessly.

When you have a neighbour that is a known criminal you better report him else the government will come and seal off the premises.

fastseo:
Why closing a whole market? The drug section is just 2 to 3 lines of shops while there are over 80 to 100 lines selling different things

This are market where they have to clothing section, building materials section, cosmetic section, foodstuffs station etc. Its a big market...

You can't close down the whole market instead close the affected section of the market.

What has someon who sells vegetables n red oil got to do with this matter that u close down sources of livelihood.

Some of the fake drugs are hidden in these sections that you mentioned.

ManOfSon:
Give it a maximum of three years!

Nay

Where is Obi's part in the struggle? Why did he not come out then under Abacha? Today his boys praise him as the saviour of Nigeria.

kingbee90:
Bulaba and his likes can't do shit by themselves. They are always scared to be at the fore front of every battle.
Always begging people with balls like El rufai, Nyesom Wike etc to do things for them.

No balls.

Nonsensical talk. So a president will do everything himself?

Nchenches:
It's the greed and fault of Owerri people, not God, that made Owerri the only place that sees modern development and urban expansion in Imo state. The greed and faulty concentration of 100% of government institutions of Imo state in Owerri, but no consideration for what to locate in the other zones of Imo state to induce modern develooment in them.

It's the same stupidity which makes your lot say the FALSEHOOD "Imo state is Owerri and Owerri is Imo state."
Go to Anambra and say Anambra State is Awka, and Awka is Anambra State, you will be pushed into the gutters.

Hahaha who sabi Awka? Owerri has been notable since the days of east central state. You sabi one awkward okigwe or orlu?

Nchenches:
Owerri small London while Orlu and Okigwe remain nearly like they were in 1976.
You don't ask why because you people lack moral consciousness when you were forcing all government institutions that induce human and economic development to be located in Owerri. No consideration for other parts of Imo state. Those institutions located in Owerri are reasons why people of Imo State run to Owerri to settle. It's time to get campuses of thise institutions in Owerri be opened in other towns outside Owerri in Imo state. Is it only Owerri that owns Imo state?

Hahaha...... it's not our fault. Na God give us. Imo is Owerri and Owerri is Imo. Let insecurity stop and Owerri will get even better. People even none-Imolites love Owerri.

Nchenches:
Imo most expensive to live in is a self-inflicted injury.

Before return to democracy in 1999, politicians of Owerri cornered 100% of federal and state government institutions and parastatals and located all in Owerri area.
Rest of Imo state have to drift to Owerri for settlement.

Even till today, Owerri refused to stop cornering for location in Owerri any federal government development institution. The latest is a Federal university teaching hospital imposed upon Federal Medical Centre in Owerri, whereas there are too many locations in Imo state outside Owerri for the hospital. Excessive Greed of local rent collectors and native land owners.
We have FUTO in Owerri, ALvan Ikoku Federal university, Owerri, Federal Polytechnic Owerri, Federal College of Lands Owerri, Imo state university Owerri, all federal housing estates to Imo state located in Owerri, all state and federal ministries and paratarals are housed in Owerri. Nothing, absolutely nothing left for any other place in Imo state to develop with.

Are you jealous? I'm an Owerri man. Owerri is small London.

Aether:
I saw one clown mention MTN 2.0 up there.

It's just unfortunate that the government loves wasting the time and resources of the country.

I'm wondering how they want to collect the so-called damages from a company that has no presence in the country.

If there were actually smart, they'd have cajoled them to officially set up their presence in the country and they try to get this illegitimate damages.

Fortunately, they are not as smart as they believe. They forced binance to technically withdraw their services from Nigerians.

A fool will always blame everyone else for his inadequacies, so I'm not surprised.

So you are smarter than all the lawyers in attorney general's office. You don't know that if the government wins the case they can use the judgement to pursue binance assets all over the world.

TruthHurts1:
APC is really the worst thing to ever happen to Nigeria.

The rapid devaluation of the Naira started in 2015 when the utterly incompetent, gworo chewing Fulani Herdman from Daura began ruining the country while Tulumbu stood by and hailed him as a genius.

Binance was not even in existence in 2015, but the Agbado tout wants to hang his blunders on them and make them a scape goat.

Maybe Nigerians will finally learn their lesson after 4 years of this MU-MU ticket inspired incompetence.

Off point. We are talking about a foreign entity operating in Nigeria without due registration and payment of required taxes and you are talking off point. You can't sell ordinary bread in advanced economies without due registration and payment of taxes.

Melagros:
COMRADES are speechless, so Ghanaian currency is now more valuable than Nigerian Naira? c7,000 is N600,000. Tinubu has finally rendered Nigerian currency worthless!

What a shame!

That's the only thing you guys sabi. That fucking cedi was rebased. That's all. They removed some zeros. Nigeria can do the same but it's meaningless economically. You just want to condemn Tinubu. The thread is on another thing and you are talking another thing.

chaloskyx:
Lol yes i have heard of Jurisdiction its why Ekweremadu was charged and Jailed in the UK for a crime he committed in Nigeria cause your justice system is corrupt

Again you are displaying lack of understanding. The organ harvesting attempt happened where? Which country is the hospital situated? By the above where was the offence committed? Which country's court is supposed to have jurisdiction?

Demolaeby:
Nafdac is mostly impounding some foreign drugs with no nafdac number. That doesn't mean that any drug without nafdac number is fake. Most of the special drugs that are meant for special cases are mostly without nafdac number because they are not every day market drugs. They process of going for nafdac number for such drugs that is not every day sell drugs will inflate the price of this so drugs. Nafdac terming it fake because they were not having number is the highest level of deceit.

My friend be reasonable. Can you bring in drugs without certification in any of those countries that you call sane clime?

FARA4GA:
Why are there more queues in MRS stations than in nnpc?

The rate is lower. Simple lesson

Blazetrailer:
Lol.....written just like a semi literate liut would have

Hahaha..... full literate called budget projected figures pegged rates.

greatiyk4u:
You keep on releasing Boko Haram terrorists and keep Kanu tight


It's the South East Governors that are holding Kanu not even the FG, they are afraid of loosing influence once Kanu is released because Ndi igbo respect Kanu more than any of the so called political leaders.

However, Just that Kanu is not enjoying unrestricted freedom but believe me he is treated like a king in DSS custody.


If you have ever been detained by EFCC you will know how the treat you nice, begging you for money and even giving you access to your phones, some of them even run errands for you in town.......this is not the case with all these chingum yahoo boys

So you have been arrested by efcc before ba . Bloody suspect

helinues:
How long do you think the effects of Binance manipulation would take to be normal? How many years did you think Binance manipulation take before they are being sacked in Nigeria?

If there is scarcity of dollar, all sectors both private and public will increase their rate of dollar exchanging

If FG pegged dollar at N1500 for the 2025 budget, how much was the same dollar around October, November?

I don't know why people believe that there is an award for hating their country. Meanwhile they don't have any other choice. FYI government didn't peg the exchange rate for 2025 budget as there is no more fixed rate. The rate that you quoted is the target rate just as we have same for inflation, oil production etc.

Good, very good.

This binance man is lying:
1. How did he know that the equipment were unplugged?
2. Will the legislatures think that he is senseless that they will be demanding bribe with cameras around them?
3. Hence he knew what they wanted why didn't he play along, pay and use it now against them.
4. Why is he getting into Nigeria's political issues concerning government policies or no government policies?
5. Why didn't he raise this issues why in detention?

Bottom line: binance is a criminal financing organization. That's why they've convictions all over the world. The grounds on which they were convicted and they paid in USA if it had been in Nigeria they would have brought up the same sentiments that they are bringing up now knowing fully well the corruption perception of anything Nigeria.

magoo10:
Tinubu should employ Reno ASAP the man has been trying including fooling himself.

the APC which Omockery is foolishly defending should be providing us with answers about the State sponsors of terrorism since the past 10years they have been in power.

Malam Nubu Ribadu is an incorruptible leader who, as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, refused a $15 million cash bribe in 2006 and instead deposited the funds at the Central Bank of Nigeria. Tigran Gambarya is an allegedly corrupt economic saboteur who worked against Nigeria's economic interests for people who Congressman Perry has now exposed as funders of terror.

Incorruptible leader that once called tinubu a criminal and swore to investigate him only to be serving tinubu today.

Stop showboating. Counter what he said concerning Ribadu with evidence.

Have we ever had a president that separated petroleum and gas and gave them different ministers? This is the benefit of experience. The president has oil and gas background and not buying and selling background

chaloskyx:
yes its good to take Legal action but in which court as long as its not nigeria then i can say you are confudent of your facts but if its Nigerian courts then you are guilty by association of that corrupt entity😅🤣

Did you go to school at all. Have you ever heard of jurisdiction?

UHLmoving:
Wow

With a barrel of crude oil currently at 71 USD

That means Nigeria will be making a total of

$71 times 1,500,000

= $106,500,000 Daily

In Naira!

181 Billion Naira Daily.

Now the big question is, where will all these money go to?

Shallow thinking. So all the money goes to the government and none to the companies that produced the oil. No wonder it's easy to manipulate Nigerians.

anonimi:
Why do we allow people with questionable characters to emerge from among us into leadership positions at the federal, state and local levels

Don't you have questionable character?

MASTAkiLLAh:
You cannot tax a country into prosperity. Ask yourself, why are industries and SME's folding up and the effect on the economy ? Ask yourself about the current state of Nigeria's export sector and how easy(?) it is to conduct business there compared to other West African countries, ask yourself about the import sector and how morbidly high tarrifs are crippling businesses that rely on imported parts and materials including much of the food you eat though you föolishly forgot that you can never produce or build everything you want, you just have to import many things just like the industrial giants eg China, USA, Germany, Japan, Singapore etc but some crackers in customs believe their primary duty is to increase REVENUE awon oloriburuku. Nigerians, use your head now that it's operational or else. Everything I highlighted here will start showing results within three to six months, some people just deliberately want you to suffer

You guys just type chochocho.... this is approved for banks. The charge doesn't go to the federal government.
