.. and what do you think you have in Nigeria? Freedom to suffer without hope abi??

If you don't like us leave us.

Whytelyon:
Can you go to Chad and Mauritania ? Or Djibouti?

I didn't condemn Nigeria. I love Nigeria and God has great plans for us. My advice is to those that said that there's no place worse than Nigeria.

Chikel20000:
Just wish I can relocate abroad.....dis country is no longer funny

This is not the substance of this story.

elmodee7:
Sadly apart from Haiti, Somali, Afghanistan, Madagascar, paua new guinea which other country is not better than Nigerian.

Oh there are some that Nigeria is better than?

canalily:
Abigail abegi tell us please, which country Nigeria better pass for Africa in general so that we no go de go there? We're waiting for urgent answers ooh

No country. So leave and go to Sudan. FYI Gambia just received a set of Nigerians under TAC. For some years Nigeria has been LENDING personnel to them to run their judiciary and stem. People don't value what they have until they lose it.

Whytelyon:
Which country is Nigeria better than Now? Ethiopian embassy just stopped giving visa to Nigeria , both e-visa and paper visa. Our passport is visa free to 25 countries from 59 it used to be.

No country. Just run out of the country and enter anyone that you like.

Eduadolero:
I just hope there is a country really worse than Nigeria

Go to Mali na.

papyjaypaul:
This government loves name changes. It looks like part of propaganda. To give you a feeling they are doing something.

Changed the name of subsidy payment to under recovery.

Changed the name of vacation to working vacation.

Changed the national anthem to old anthem.

Changed the name of protests to treason.

Changed the name of FIRS to NRS.

APC, change!

Federal Inland Revenue Service.... inland revenue? Is there another body that collects external revenue? Do your research before you criticize. Everything is not Cho Cho on the Internet. Ask experts why the change in name?

The farm settlements were very popular during Michael Okpara's regime during the old Eastern region. What are the state governments doing to bring back the experience?

Hemanwel:
These ones are oblivious of what Nigerians back home are going through. When relatives call them for financial assistance, they think it's just a cunny attempt to inconvenience them.

They should try making attempt to find out what Nigerians are going through.

What a shameful display of insensitivity!

Shebi you have time to type this here? Abroad you no go get this type of time. You must work your ass off to pay bills. You must worry about paper. You experience racism. You must be extra conscious of whatever you do because if you do anyhow you see anyhow. No tribal sentiments to fall on. No uncle or auntie to give you connection.

In Nigeria we want everything that is in abroad but we don't want to work or pay for it. We want to enjoy subsidized fx, electricity, petrol, school fees, no payment of taxes etc.

ogaemma:
Those people who traveled out of Nigeria before now do not know what God have done for them.

If you dey foreign land and oyibo do you then you will appreciate your papa land no matter how e be.

AcuraZDX:
Omoh

Is EFCC & ICPC not aware of this mess of the Budget? What is the relevance of our anti corruption fighting institutions? Are the politicians now bigger than our institutions set up to checkmate & fight corruption?

Seems corruption is normalized now in d country.

This nonsense is coming from constituency projects. The lawmakers are crooks. By doing this it becomes difficult to check the figures for constituency projects. Why can't they create separate expenditure heads for constituency projects so that the law makers are held responsible.

hisgrace090:
Many poor Nigerians families have bn eronously included in this band a,b and c making it very difficult for them to use light again.
Question now is why pushing Nigerians out of everything that makes life meaningful?
Constant electricity that is not affordable is of no need and as good as constant darkness.

Energy is never cheap anywhere in the world. We want things that are available abroad but we don't want to pay. They thought that it was before now when they used to divert power without paying. The bands are done based on location. If where you live falls under band A and you can't afford it then relocate. Eno easy to be a big man.

MadPolitician:
Where are the performances you're talking about? Where are buharis and Tinubus "two years" wonderful performances? Has the country not been practicing 4 years double tenures that has ruined everything and accentuated the level of ethnic acrimony across regions? Copying everything done in America, is part of our political problems in Nigeria. Who needs a bicameral Legislature at Abuja for instance, when all of tinubus bills are passed with ease?

Imagine the billions that could be saved if we only have a single house of less than 60 men as the National Assembly. Atiku seems to be the only one amongst them, that is worried about what is going on. Few days ago, he warned everyone of the dangers of a "one party state", and some were laughing because they are currently ontop. They will soon cry when they're at the receiving end. He seems to understand that an illegitimate president, can not spur a nation towards political peace and economic growth.

Na now atiku wake up?

Sheistoopretty:
Nigerian men are Us£less..... All of them

Nigerian men don deal with this one well well. Sorry dear.

Sheistoopretty:
Nigerian men are u$eless...... All of them

You have surfaced again?

JoeyNaza:
So why was your reformist with a strong liver part of the gang up against positive change, 9 years ago. He protested and wailed with you gullible people at ojota day and night, cooking up various propaganda and all when fuel was 97 per litre. Today, fuel is 1K and you guys are calling him a reformist based on what agbado politics or economics.

Face the facts, Tinubu played politics with the truth in 2014, today he is paying for it. Another fact is that you guys voted for a packaged failure and still supporting incompetence.

The same way your obi is attacking the reformist of today. Give him the job tomorrow and he will still introduce reforms. After all he campaigned that he will remove subsidy but he is attacking subsidy removal today.

JoeyNaza:
What happenned when the spineless Jonathan attempted to take hard decisions. Your beloved Tinubu went out to protest with his unintelligent folks, now you clowns want to make yesterday's hard decision today.

Jonathan gave up because he hasn't got the liver of a reformist. Any true reformist must expect attacks and must ride them. No serious reform is painless.

OChimex:
Mumu liar. How can an old man be lying like a kid? Does he think the reality won't counter his lies?
Why is Tinibu this stupid?
So this is his master strategy? Lie in the face of glaring evidence?

Give us your counter evidence.

ActiveFarms:
When would Nigerians youths develop strong critical analytical, reasoning and thinking skills. When ? You mean to say once government releases any info, you take it hook, line and sinker without any critical evaluation just because of your ethnocentrism and bigotry. Smh. Shame on your education, a cocoa farm would have yielded better rewards . How can you read financial news without financial stats and proofs and you absorb it hook, line and sinker. Does Nigeria in any way have the means to generate extra One trillion Naira to the national budget let alone 30 Trillion Naira? Use your sense man. You can't keep delegating your education to us


Now to educate you, Ways and Means was converted to bonds, transferring the debt burden to Nigerian youths to bear the burden yet again for so many years in addition to existing loans by converting them to bonds doesn't mean it was repaid


Where and how does Nigeria have the means to repay 30 Trillion Naira overnight. Do you people hate yourselves so badly all because of bigotry. Tueh



Now if the Ways and Means where cleared the first thing to have done was not to take loans but to bring back rationalized subsidy. Meaning subsidize like a quota per day now that we have approximate measurement of the fuel we consume. Subscidize fuel for two years. Use that two years to build twenty modular refineries. Grant small scale refineries setups and have fifty refineries in two years. Then peg the dollar to Naira to 1,000 Naira exchange rate over the two years period using Ways and Means to peg against the exchange rate.


This would instantly drop the prices of things by at least 100%. When we ask you people to support we mentally sound people to places we will make better decisions for you guys, you would refuse. Nigeria only needs sound intellectual management which your leaders lack and followers like you too

The moment I read the word "peg" in this your comment I discerned that you are an armchair critic. Which sound economist will tolerate the word peg. That's irrespective of economic performance the figure remains the same.

Man tone down. It looks easy outside but not that easy inside.

E no concern me but I just dey imagine the kind energy that will be required to fùck the woman

Racoon:
Why are these men always praying the Lord God Almighty to protect the sheepies but always goes about with endless armed-to-the-teeth retinue of security agents?

It's not about people harming them but they will not be allowed to freely move because of the crowd.

ivandragon:
Go and ask dangote that said the price of fuel in Nigeria is too cheap when compared with Saudi Arabia.

I am not here for shenanigans.

ivandragon:
The price of a regular low end motorcycle in saudi arabia is about 5000 SAR. So a person on minimum wage in Saudi Arabia can get such bike with maximum of 2 months salary if s/he uses all the wage to buy a bike.


The cheapest motorcycle in nigeria cost around 700k. So a person on minimum wage in Nigeria needs 10 full months of salary to buy the same bike a person in Saudi arabia would use less than 2 month's salary to buy...

Can you see that the joke is on you?

You are having laughing gleefully that the minimum wage in Nigeria is nothing to write home about and isn't that the point sane Nigerians are making?

The government wants Nigerians to pay prices for goods equivalent to foreign countries but does not want to pay commensurate wages.

Good and very good hence you want to be comparing Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. I wasn't looking a long that line. Now let's go.....an employer pays his employees according to his income. What is Saudi Arabia most recent GDP, balance of payment and foreign reserve? How much is Nigeria's.

ivandragon:
So people who earn minimum wage cannot purchase motorcycles that use fuel?

You can see that it was your thinking that was flawed hence my response to you.

🤣 Hahaha...How much is annual income of #70k per month monthly income earner and how much is the price of a motorbike? How many years will a minimum wage earner save all his income (without spending one kobo) be able to buy a motorbike?

VeeVeeMyLuv:
There's almost nothing like cheap public transportation system in all the APC regime since 2015 including this present one.

There has never been any cheap transport system in Nigeria. Please when I write I don't like mentioning parties. I belong to none and I support none.

ivandragon:
Do you have a brain block stopping you from doing your own analysis?

I was commenting directly to topic, so I don't know what your question about owning cars or not is all about.

Even if this is a faceless forum decency demands that one must watch his language. I only just pointed out that your logic is flawed.

You talked about landing cost. How about other charges and seller's margin before you arrive at the pump price? DRL might be cheaper after all.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Saudi minimum wage is 4000 riyals

1 riyal = 444 naira

Saudi minimum wage in naira is 4000 x 444 = 1,779,086.93 naira!

Nigerian minimum wage is just a paltry 70k that they are yet to implement.

And you want somebody in Nigeria to pay the same amount for petrol those in Saudi pay? Haba Alhaji

What is the cost of living of the two countries? Accommodation, food, groceries, etc. A man that is paid 200k by a company in Enugu if the same company transfers him to their branch in PH the 200k will not sustain him.

ivandragon:
Hmm...

Most of these analysis that requires conversion from one currency to the other are often misleading and negate what truly matters, which is the purchasing power of the common man, primarily, the least paid workers.

A straightforward analogy which makes more sense is how much fuel can be bought with the minimum wage?

The average minimum monthly wage in Saudi Arabia is about 4000 SAR. PMS averages at about 2.3 SAR per litre. So 4000 SAR gets you about 1700 litres of PMS.

In nigeria, with minimum wage at N70000 and pms averaging N1000 per litre, your minimum wage gets you 70 litres of pms.

Case closed. Any other calculations or conversions are just exercises in futility because the purchasing power of the masses in any country is what matters most.


Look at USA. Average minimum monthly wage is about $1200. Average pms price is $1 per litre. So minimum wage in USA gets you about 1200 litres of pms.

People that earn minimum wage do they own cars? You should be talking of efficient and cheap public transportation system.

Two international pastorpreneurs who have mastered on how to enrich themselves while their puppets keep on languishing in abject poverty

I'm sure that you aren't referring to adeboye or oyedepo because I can't see puppets in their churches. They are heavy weights. Rccg is in over 120 countries in the world. Are they all puppets?
