Racoon:
Why is this Dangote refinery such a monumental controversy for goodness sake?

The oil cabal do not want petroleum products produced in Nigeria anymore. They have fed fat on importation.

LagosPrince:
Fear don catch tinubu, baba quicky call for emergency meeting with former heads of state , IBB, abdusalami and Obasanjo .

We were reliably informed that chief Obasanjo ignored Tinubu

Who informed you?

This figure must be wrongly quoted

mrvitalis:
Them course apc to make wrong decision

Why give them tax break when you can give them low interest loans to expand?

Did this people in Tinubu team actually know the basics of developmental economics?

The decisions they are taking is shocking really makes absolutely no sense... Companies already have means not to pay tax if they don't want to... What you should so is ways to increase payee tax that's the tax that can't be written off, profit tax is not important

It's sad seeing this people destroying our economy gradually

Our GDP would be below 200 billion dollars by next year at this rate

Always claiming that you know all. You ought to apply for world Bank president's job. Low interest loan for expansion? Is it a long term solution or short term solution?

Armaggedon:
And they have to photograph the food of their own members for religious propaganda?

Who photographed it. Do you think that RCCG as a church has time for a publicity like this?

festacman:
The President and his advisers are a huge disappointment so far. I mean nothing to offer in response to economic challenges that were obvious even at the point he was campaigning.

Zero vision. Zero roadmap. Just imposition of taxes and senseless distribution of rice. Future looks bleak. Sad, sad situation.

I refuse your assertion. The future looks great. There is no reform without pain. Someone had promised that he would change Nigeria from a consumption to a production nation. Did that person understand what pain that is in it.

The president had option.....take the easy route out and become popular and Nigeria gets worse on the long run. Take the hard way out and become unpopular for now but lay a foundation that Nigeria will forever be grateful. This was his Lagos option and today everyone is singing praises about Lagos.

Only tough leaders can do what he is doing. He is aware that he is endangering his political career as he's presently unpopular. The informed and neutrals can understand him.

Do you know what it means to pay $5billion Dollars inherited debt within one year? The airlines that packed up because of debt are back.

It's not a joke to reduce your usage of 97% of your revenue to service your debt to using about 65% of your revenue. All within one year. The honest state governors are paying salaries regularly and executing projects. Where is the money coming from?

Reverse subsidy removed and every budget - federal, state and local government will collapse.

Brendaniel:
So this has solved all the problems of Nigeria?

Especially the ones Tinubu caused?

Will all solutions come at once?

Must you eat Titus sardine. Take other options. Besides you don't even produce it. Eat what you produce.

Devotedly:
They've now realised that they were deceived during the elections

Are these ones protesters? Do they understand what they are doing? When did protest become more popular in the north than in the South. I smell something.

Abdullah36:
Well, two of my siblings are in Bayero University, for now, as per as I can say this na audio money

Did your siblings apply? Who gives loan to someone that didn't apply?

He was one of those insisting that the protest must go on. He gave legal backing just to make himself popular. Wise people counselled that Nigerian protest will always lead to looting, arson, destruction and loss of lives. Those that want to pretentiously become overnight Senior Advocate of the Masses insisted.

Now it's getting out of control and they want to stop. Don't stop. Continue forever.

chidiakwari:
You think this is October 20, 2020? I laugh this clown who think they can threaten Nigerians.

Be ready

When it's time please come out and confront them.

Kobojunkieee:
Yet some internet imbe_ciles were spreading false news of how the South East voluntarilty stayed out of the protest.

Uzodinma and all his terrorist gangs must go abeg!

Why are you always using gutter language? Imbe... this and imbe... that. Yes the south east voluntarily stayed out. I live in Lagos and I work in Aba. I left Aba today to Owerri. There is minimal presence of security agencies.

Infact some people decided to enjoy themselves... eating, drinking, singing songs that make sarcastic statements of the president and his regime.

Kobojunkiee:
Do you think that in order countries where effective law enforcement is a given, that it is so because police manpower covers every street and corner in those countries?

Keep comparing a baby of two years and a man of fifty years. Is it logical?

Kobojunkiee:
These nincompoops have yet to realize that the fact that the protest could be hijacked by unscrupulous elements is all the more reason why people need to go out to protest the incompetence and ineptitude of the government in arresting the security situation in the country.

How can a whole IGP of Police come out bold-faced to tell people not to protest for fear that criminal elements could take advance of the opportunity? Isn't that clear proof that you, as an IGP, have failed in your responsibilities? Why is the Police trying to push what is his responsibility on the people looking to freely exercise their right to protest?

So to you the police should have enough manpower to cover every street in Nigeria.

Xscape1993:
Where was the court when the drug master sponsored so many protests during Jonathan's regime? Why is the certificate forger afraid of protest and constructive criticisms? Pretenders everywhere...

Did you take this preemptive measure back then? Are you aware of the destruction that went on during endsars?

Kobojunkiee:
Satisfied? Of course not! Next Is to look for those who are not paid to back up your claim which is that your parish gives out food regularly to individuals.

We don't give out only food. We give money and other items. Why not try and attend any of our service and be a witness.

Infact we are packing a wonderful second service targeting the youths and young adults (YAYA). There will be refreshment after every service. People don't know that we have a lot of CSR activities. I'm still expecting you.

Kobojunkiee:
Lies!! Which parish? Where? What food? Make we search for others from the same parish to corroborate your claims.

Hahaha....koboooo. I'm the PIC of Area. The name of the parish is Daystar Parish. Abia Province 2. 70 Aba-Owerri Road, Umungasi. Aba. The next super Sunday will be first Sunday in September. I'll be expecting you. You will be fed very well. You will receive a good take-away package.

Are you satisfied now. Koboooo.

Amucha:
We need to follow UK pattern in healthcare, politics, minimum wage, education, employment, social welfare etc.

It is laughable to show us protesters who were jailed in UK while neglecting other things happening in UK

But you want the government to do what UK government is doing but you don't want UK standard applied against you when you go wrong. Hypocrite!!

SisterRamota:
Remi Tinubu working overtime to kill the protest, but she is just wasting her time. Protest must go on.

Don't say what you don't know. We give gifts mostly food items in my parish every first Sunday of every quarter. The service is called super Sunday.

LagosPrince:
The soldiers won't be stupid to make the same mistake that they made during the Endsars protest because it may not be business as usual o

So they better use their sense and avoid use of force this time to avoid anarchy and doom for this great nation

Come out first and do anyhow. Don't stay in nairaland and be talking.

vowiski:
Nigeria is really inconsistent with policy deployment.

I have verified my NIN, Infact it showed verified on my app and NIMC app, yet it was blocked.

How can you block people’s lines with no final notice, 7 days , 3 days and 24-hrs?

How do these guys even reason ?

The deadline that government has been shifting since 2020. Nigerians and our last minute mentality.

Kobojunkiee:
What kind of imbecilic question is that?
▶ Why would I be helping Nigerians when that is entirely the job of their government?
▶ Do I have Nigeria's money and /or mandate or what?
▶ Was I elected by the Nigerian people to serve in such a role?

I mean why do you people ask the dumbest questions ever?

You should demonstrate what you preach. You are in another land built by several years of sacrifice by others. You are just enjoying what you didn't labour for.

Nigerians are now making such sacrifices and your solution is to use the standard of what you didn't know how it was built to criticize and judge us. No solution.

MichaelSokoto:
SHAT AP!

Were u not boasting dat the protest will die down b4 D-Day?

Wat changed?
Why is d govt running helter skelter?

We have three tiers of government. The problem of Nigeria is not for the federal government alone to solve. What are the state governments and local governments doing?

Kobojunkiee:
Not a lot of people have even Naira 5000 to their name as we speak. Why do you think the rice is being handed out for free in the Northern States? It is because of this sheer reality which is the vast majority cannot afford even 1/20th of that cost. The reason the North is being prioritized in such a way must already be clear to anyone at this point. The government fears northerners than southerners.

Kobo... you live abroad. How many Nigerians are you helping out. Abi na only to criticize in Niaraland.

Beremx:
Why not open borders for rice importation? How many people will have access to buying rice at 40k?

Another stampede loading...

Open our borders for all manner of rice importation. Hahaha...some people will shut down this economy if you give them one day to rule this nation.

What a shame!!!

ceejayluv:
Yes, we'll keep bearing and realigning while the political class keep strangling the economy. The better managed the economy, the more opportunities for realignment.

This one na truth

ceejayluv:
It can't possibly be worse than the number of people who have lost their sources of income due to the mismanagement of the economy. Many of the people that japa in the last few years were doing fairly well before.

Have you woken up one day and discover that your only source of income is in flames? Have you experienced a loved one being killed by stray bullet? No matter how an economy is managed some people will sustain losses while some will prosper. I have an evidence of someone that is doing very well now from a simple business.

The key is realign. Excuses will not help anyone.

mrvitalis:
This is failure in leadership honestly

I as a president can not send food item to a state and it's diverted impossible ( BTW I can't not be a foolish president that goes about sharing food)

There are ways to share palliatives there are ways to monitor palliatives sharing

Believe me this rice is compensation for political support that's the truth... Government is fully aware of this because I can't believe someone can be this clueless

Have you ever ruled a primary school before? Mtchee .... everyone na online expert.

Melagros:
COMRADES, protest should go on please

Protest is the fundamental rights of all the citizens of Nigeria

If Tinubu is jittery he should either resign or he should restore the fuel subsidy

Are you ready for the outcome? It might not affect Tinubu personally but you because you have no personal security.

Several personal properties might be lost. Many may loose their sources of income. Wisdom is scarce.

1opinion:
If Nigeria is in good shape, her citizens wouldn't leave her.
If 5 million can take a family of 4 out for this country, believe me Nigeria would have been empty by now.
Have you ever imagine, what happens 10 years from now, for those who stayed in Nigeria or those in diaspora.

There's no country that the citizens don't migrate. Even the mighty USA.
