which "FX surging things" is that?

why has dangote refinery not saved nigeria all the billions of dollars it was hyped to save nigeria?

Savings in less than two months? Haba Nigerians.

Sir, where are you located...?? Am a professional laundry man

I live in Lagos but I work in Aba. My laundry needs now is majorly in Aba.

Nwaikpe:
Nigerians are usually eager to jump into new technologies without appraising its possible downside.
This CNG technology is not being sponsored in any of the western countries because it is only but a "lesser demon" to petrol.
Most people are pushing for better and cheaper sources like Hydrogen, etc.

But Nigeria, no go hear "cheap" make their body rest.

They don't know that the price they would have paid in petrol cost, they will equally and much more pay in CNG technology and accident (explosion).



Anyways, God bless the IDF,
I, and all the northern nigerian muslim miscreants do stand with Israel and support their mopping of the world off animals and pigs like us.

The western nations are not too desirous of CNG because they do not have so much natural gas. We have more than enough natural. We need the transition.

..another senseless BATist..

..they are capping constitutional matters..BATist capping in roasted electricity comprehension..

..tufiakwa

You are funny 🤣. Anybody that makes rational presentation is a BATist. What I said has happened time and time again. Check from OBJ till date. Has it been happening? What is Mike Ozakome's noise.

For rational minded people it doesn't really matter. What matters are results.

The law says one minister per state. After satisfying this the president is free to appoint any number from any state.

Some people made their name through criticism. This prof is one of them. This is the only thing that we know about him.

ivandragon:
Is it only Jerry can that is used for smuggling fuel?

Aren't tankers used? What stops the smugglers from repurposing LPG cylinders? Or fashioning crude canisters?

Have you ever heard that LPG is snuggled?

Leonardo4:
I thought the foolish government said fuel consumption in Nigeria dropped due to subsidy removal and reduced smuggling.
In reality people can't afford fuel anymore. Purchasing power reduced drastically hence the reduction in fuel consumption

Reason for reduction:
1 People are being sensible in the management of their finances.
2 No more 24 hours generator when public electricity is off.
3 No more one car for me, one for my wife another for my children's school runs.
4 Elimination of pool car in organisations.
5 No more a/c house, a/c cars and a/c office.
6 People drive around only when necessary.
7 Car owners sometimes now use public transportation. They do this overseas also.
8 Elimination of cars with high fuel consumption.
9 Mechanics no dey use fuel ⛽ wash hand again.
10 People are switching to alternative energy sources.
11 The days of a young man with multiple cars are gone.

ivandragon:
What happens when those countries also switch to CNG and start smuggling it?

CNG is not like fuel. You can't store it in Jerry can.

santopelele:
If she had stayed back to fix Nigeria as fani the as*s licker said, she wouldn't have achieve the height she achieved today, because your shithole country would have killed her with corruption and poverty by now

Who told you so. So nobody that stayed back ever succeeded and everyone that left to her Brit is successful.

That lady thinks that running down the land of her birth will give her acceptance. In the UK no matter what you do if you are a black you are a black. What is the linkage between her adopted country's politics and Nigeria.

Creamypie:
Opportunist tinubu. He took advantage of obj retirement from politics, same as Tony anenih, Sam ogbemudia, and the pdp division to propel himself. When obj dey government, who know tinubu? local champion

OBJ was not actually too recognized. He became military head of state by chance. He was really afraid and that's why he didn't fail to hand over as promised.

Abacha jailed him when he tried to run his mouth. No body including the west fought for his release. The prime people that gave Abacha big fight both in and outside the country were NADECO and Tinubu was a front line fighter.

Upon the death of MKO in prison it was obvious to the north that if Nigeria must remain one then the president must come from the west. All major political parties made sure that their presidential candidates came from the west.

The two major ones from the west where Olu Falaye and OBJ. In terms of quality on all rounds everyone knew that Olu Falaye was far ahead of OBJ. Olu Falaye was considered by the north as awoist, hardliner and unbendable. And to OBJ they were looking at him with his disposition during his military regime.

To the north the better of the two devils i.e. dancing to their will was OBJ. So they backed him to win. Even when he wasn't a founding member of PDP and Alex Ekwueme offered more appeal during the primary. But the very best of that time was Olu Falaye of a different party. So OBJ though fair but not as super as thinks he is.

He has always benefited from unexpected painful circumstance of others viz:

Became military ruler because of assassination of Murtala Mohammed.

Became president because of the circumstance that Abiola died.

Jessyjeff:
It was because you had the best team that worked for a better economy. Soludo and Okonji Iweala were very active in shaping your economic policy.

Those economic policies were instrumental in pulling many Nigerians out of poverty.

Since 2015, lizard people took over power in Nigeria, and the results are what this country is experiencing today.

Yes OBJ saved and obtained debt forgiveness but there was no infrastructure. Total decay of infrastructure under him. What is the sense in saving without investment in infrastructure that will develop your economy.

His privatisation was a mess under atiku. Billions of dollars were invested in power without results. That's the genesis of our energy problem of today. He didn't make efforts to either bring the refineries back to life or encourage private sector investment.

Then the worst was the regimes that took over from him. Jonathan squandered everything. OBJ was so upset 😭 against Jonathan that he had to openly support buhari.

Then buhari..... another story. Many had confidence in him including myself. We trusted him to be frugal and have the ability to tame corruption but he disappointed.

The problem of OBJ is that he thinks too highly of himself. He believes that he is the best leader that Nigeria will ever have.

Omoawoke:
Everything that has to do with Benin republic is justified.

Those aren’t schools but fraud

Don't mind the op. He must be one of agents of those fake schools.

MEEVEET:
Tinubu has borrowed more from. Ways and means than any president in our history what are you even talking about?

MEEVEET:
My GDP rate is not correct? Maybe Google Nigerians projected GDP this year

Naira was subsidized? And it's not subsidized right now?

Removal of subsidy? Tinubu government have paid and is still paying subsidy till date... Anyone who think we are no longer paying subsidy is not smart the facts are on ground

Bad fiscal policy? Do you even know what is bad fiscal policy?

There has never been a worse fiscal policy than what we have under Tinubu never

Building none needed roads with borrowed funds? Payment of billions to inexistent people?

Bros you obviously lack basic understanding of economics because what you are saying makes absolutely no sense

I lack basic understanding of economics.....yes sir . I will answer only one. You are using forecast GDP and not actual. A forecast is an estimate, more like a budget. The absolute figure is actual.

Let me answer another one.
Low income to GDP ratio is good fiscal policy

Heavy financing of budget with ways and means is good fiscal policy

MEEVEET:
GDP moving from close to 400 billion to less than 200 billion dollars today is not enough evidence?

How about naira moving from ₦700 to a dollar to ₦1720 today?

How about inflation?

Your GDP figures are incorrect.

Your former exchange rate was artificial. Anyone could do that. It was subsidized by heavy inflow of petrodollar. It didn't reflect the truth about your economy.

Four factors affected the rate of inflation:
Poor food production due to insecurity in the North.
Low earnings from crude oil due to low production
Removal of fake lifestyle aka subsidy
Bad monetary and fiscal policies of the past.
Global economic distortions.

mohbadliveson:
Very clear. This government doesn't enjoy the goodwill of the people

Which people?

MEEVEET:
Finance minister should be first to go then if that was what he used

What is your empirical evidence?

EmperorCaesar:


Which means we sacked them and not Tinubu

This is the first time Nigerians really have a say in who the FG appoints

He used world class consulting outfit too, KPMG to assist in the assessment. Accountant will always be accountant even in politics.

Very upright and right thinking man. Introduced innovation. Risked his life for truth. When the election was annulled he kept quiet because any statement from him would have burnt the nation.

Refused to take any further government appointments.

anonimi:
What other country are they having galloping inflation like what clueless Buhari started and his incompetent enabler, Tinubu is continuing, while wages are not rising and unemployment is growing? What other country do sufferhead shitheads also have with these features?

Was this what ingrate Obasanjo had in mind when he endorsed Buhari in 2015, over the candidate of the party that made him president from Abacha's prison?

When there's logical, sound reasoning and economic discussion please stay away. Jajaja talk irritates sometimes.

Basicend:
China introduced COVID to the world IMO to create financial chaos, and undermine standard of living in the West and other places. So that their products basicly will be what most countries can be able to afford ultimately.

How many people globally, esp. Africa and indeed Nigeria, can afford Gadgets or Cars etc from US, Germany, Japan etc.

Simply, China is pushing out Western companies and facilities from all these countries currently.

The Russian war with Ukraine was geared by Putin to escalate the global financial crisis IMO, and further reduce the economic strength and influence of the West.

Both Partners, China & Russia, are systematically countries to their block form a global siege and influence against the Western powers. It's working indeed. .

Very thoughtful.

Hahaha.... this children eeh.
How can Bible that I preach back up what it condemned.....oath of fornication? To the Bible that oath didn't exist abi initio. It's void, nugatory and of no effect.

There's a soul tie and sin consciousness issue. Apparently your ex died an unbeliever. Therefore hence her soul-spirit is not in paradise nor hell it has transmuted to demon. Demons must live in a body and in most cases someone that they knew.

Simple solution is: go and submẞit to Jesus Christ. Abstain from fornication till marriage. Approach your pastor to lay hand on you and pray. Make a good effort to have a constant indwelling of the holy Spirit. God bless you.

cobilak9:
Nigeria is finished

People in Nigeria like you are finished too.

FashionCookie:
Hmmm

People don't understand that economic problems are everywhere since COVID and now the Russian Ukrainian war though the ones in the developing world are more.

Sammy101111:
God bless you we need to stop noise pollution
Especially in Lagos 5 church will be in one street
Noise left and right

Na only church be your uwahala? The way commercial vehicles and even private cars 📯 horn nko?

Wow. You see. Poverty dey everywhere. Only 10,000 Canadian dollars and she was ready to commit crime.

SEGLIZ:
why was her case rushed?

She pleaded guilty.

VULCAN:
If you want to identify an APC urc..in just go over their past comments and you will see them strenuously defending the indefensible govt

Hahaha
It's not everyone that says anything contrary to what you want that is an APC urc..in. Some of us are just professionals and not tribalists or politicians.

Yes some of us believe in this government because beyond politics we know what the problems are and technically we know that they are taking the right decisions though painful.

It would interest you to know that some of us worked with or under some of the key figures in this government. So we have first hand knowledge of their capabilities outside politics.
Have you not noticed that some knowledgeable persons that were in opposition during the election and even helped to package some front line opposition figures have not been publicly criticizing this government's economic policies. They know the truth and the key figures in this government are their professional friends.

Fairview1:
Nice move. Sometimes I have always asked myself how some of those ministers made it to the list. Could Tinubu eventually turn out to be the most courageous Nigerian leader of 21st Century?

It could turn out to be. Past presidents hardly reshuffle cabinet within first one year in office. He touches areas that past leaders wouldn't. Taking hard decisions. Look at his focus on gas. Student loan. Consumer credit. Regional development. Charge to nnpc to romp up crude production. Subsidy removal on PMS and fx. Even his haters agree behind the scene that he's very courageous. Past presidents will not touch all these because it could cost them re-election.

Kukutente23:

I have to confess that I thought Tinubu will never reshuffle his cabinet but I was proven wrong.
The funny thing though is that the reshuffle is actually meaningless and even worse than not doing any
Like this man keeps breaking his own records in cluelessness and incompetence
I thought a serious reshuffle is one that requires the appointment of a substantive Minister for Petroleum and sack of the FCT Minister for overheating the polity with his public fisticuffs with a sitting gov. I don't think that level of indiscipline has ever been shown by any government functionary since this republic began.
What the hell is Ministry of Regional Development in a federal state? Is the FG going to now supervise the "development" of each region?
It seems there are now more Ministers of state than substantive Ministers and the ironic thing is that the oil producing Niger Delta no longer has a ministry but cows now have a ministry and a full fledged Minister to booth!!
Mind you Niger Delta is not South South. There are states from SW and SE in Niger Delta commission
Las las Tinubu does not have any serious direction he's going in terms of governance. Everything is politics and political calculations where he is concerned

You have too much time. Maybe less busy.

This people eeh

Franktom247:
Is this the so called reshuffling of Cabinet

So Niger Delta and North East Commission will be in the same place when one is the cash cow of the other

We are joking

The statutory allocation to each is different but the management is under one umbrella 🏖️. Each commission will have their leadership.
