Yahami:
When are they going to stop this scammed program, obviously is a scam if not a 100b naira can suffice feeding of all primary schools in Nigeria but for this, we only watch in TV when I have primary schools around me in shambles

I don't even understand why a government has to use food, in the name of addressing malnutrition, to drive attendance in schools for kids.

If you want to subsidize education, please do but not to descend to this low of sharing food.

It will eventually be exploited by vendors and become a fraudulent venture

Tellmeastory:
You are worse than STUPID.

Demonic entity.

They are allocating unprecedented amounts to feed Nigerian school kids, and this is the evil vomit you spill out?

Nasty, worthless thing.

Get out of the country. We don't need your type.

Oh shut up you fool.

If you don't know how to communicate with people then shift away from nairaland.

Why are you insulting him because of his comment. He is entitled to his opinion.

Is this another form of government subsidy? To think that PETROAN can ask for this grant is ridiculous.

Ekele22:
I be stick way I no go smash,but I will do it responsibly.i don't pretend and also am not a saint though.

I feel you though.

The proposed tax reform bill is going to be passed whether we like it or not and nothing will happen. It’s going to hit harder than we think.

It can be moderated based on consultation and discussion at the National Assembly.

https://nairametrics.com/2025/01/06/naccima-urges-tinubu-to-slash-corporate-taxes-to-19-vat-to-7-5/

Most companies have their way around Company Income Tax, they often manipulate their financial statements, in connivance with their Auditing Firm, to declare loss hence pay a minimum tax payable by even loss making outfit.

This Value Added Tax is just the problem it should ordinarily be kept at 7.5% even till 2030. They can increase the base to capture more people and organizations who have been evading it but to increase the rate is not acceptable by me.

That is my opinion.

Akalia:
Before now I considered burna a rich spoilt brat and pissed poor morally but I am seeing a different side of him that reflects on maturity, humanity, godliness.

I think I am beginning to hold burna boy in high rep now.

Which maturity, is this maturity in display?

If he is matured, why bring it to social media?

Bar1941:
So that fat boy that always like to show himself online by throwing money here and there has a woman and a lovely kid elsewhere that he’s not talking care of!


Irresponsibility of the highest order.

What do you know about the story of te guy and his baby mama.

Sonnobax15:

Should we say Burna boy has got a big heart or he's just trying so hard to be sarcastic towards the big man?

Burna boy is only being sarcastic and despicable. Anyway, everyone will be served.

I honestly think Adedayo is correct. The battered Nigerians should be men of the year.

Nigerians have been pummeled, despised, crushed and poverty inflicted yet they keep pushing and striving.

Come on, give it to Nigerians

smeag0l:
Sir, Bayo Ojulari is yoruba. Secondly, he doesnt work for NNPCL. The last role he held in the oil and gas industry was as the MD of one of the companies under Shell Nigeria(SNEPCo). He has a very limited broad experience in the industry when compared with Ahmed Musa Kida and Bashir Bello. Both of these guys also retired in the very top management of Total Nigeria and Shell Nigeria respectively so he cant boast of being more experienced than they are. Therefore, if BAT wants to justify his selection of Bayo Ojulari on the basis of competence or ethnicity, it wont hold water.

Oga when you become the President of Nigeria, you can choose anyone of Ahmed Musa Kida and Bashir Bello.

As for the current President of Nigeria - Tinubu. He has right to choose anyone he prefers.

He doesn't really owe us any explanation on his choice of workers that he is allowed to choose.

Sofistcatdmoron:
they are not pure Yoruba, they are northern origin

Define a pure Yoruba person? North Central is just a geopolitical zone not the tribe.

The tribe of the Okun people is Yoruba.

Simple.

Judolisco:
I'm saying Ojulari or anybody else should be selected based on competence and not based on tribe, ethnicity or region

Now I understand you.

Thanks for the clarity and answer

Dyke15:
Them Neva see anything. Yh things are hard but Nigerians re wicked. Now it's festive season and all d poultry farmers add money for their chicken.
I can't imagine dat I will witness Chicken selling as high as 25/30k?
Our leaders re cruel bt we re heartless.
The opposition party needs to buckle up. This country needs to be saved from d hands of Tinubu nd his gang of Alibabas

Na your leaders dey breed the chicken? Na your leaders dey produce feed for poultry animals abi? Na Tinubu cause am.... Na dollar exchange rate cause am?

The government and Nigerian leaders have their own failures and misbehaviors but the price of food stuff is not their fault.

Instead of you to blame the poultry farmers, livestock farmers, crop farmers and feed manufacturers for their greed and super profit mentality.

idanone:
not all, we have Kwara North and we have ilorin who happens to be Fulani mixed with reminant Yorubas from the conquer capture then during the war. But in the real sense Kwara South are Yorubas with oba as king.

Okay.

Judolisco:
read again

Answer the simple question

idanone:
my simple response is simple, I am a Yoruba man by birth and culture

Most certainly, Yes!

Kwara people are Yoruba people by birth and culture.

Biodun556:
It is Ilorin that is affected by Fulanis not the whole Yorubas in Kwara only 3 or 4 local governments out of 16 do not belong to Yorubas in in Kwara State

Noted.

However, there is no dispute about Kwara being predominantly Yoruba people but Kwara is classified as a North Central state on the basis of geopolitical zones.

Biodun556:
It is the Northerners that calf Yorubas into the North to have bigger land mass to manipulate in politics

Kwara and kogi Yorubas will be very have if boundary adjustments can be made to return them back to south west

South West, North Central and other geopolitical zones are just geopolitical zones, they are often relevant I politics or for statistical data. They are not a tribe classification so I don't think it is necessary to reclassify or carve out the Yoruba speaking Kogi and Kwara people.

We know the history of how Fulani took over the rule in Kwara.

Akamon:
Content writing and journalism plays a huge part in national building as the third realm of governance. A content that is not well researched and thought out can bring a nation to civil war and can deny a nation of foreign direct investment. Kperogi, I have time without number critic your content on many occasions because there are most times not well thought out and researched as Remo Omokri does his without going back on correction and partial apology. Revisiting your content put you in the class of clout seeking individuals who want to attain fame with ease.
You are based in abroad and your content will easily be consumed by diaspora because of your position in the academia and your ties with your homeland, so a little mistake in your content can do a great harm to your country. Brushing off your written mistake by a wave of hand is not accepted but a total change in approach to your writing without bias is advised.
Research forms the bedrock of every genuine content rather than hearsay which can reduce your journalism to a mere beer parlour conversation.
Keep up your good work but a change in your approach is highly recommended. Do not join the queue of illiterate journalism we have in Nigeria social media and renown Television stations, all interest is the click, like and traffic.

Mr Kperogi was only being rhetorical, consciously or otherwise. His second article was a clever attempt to re-emphasize his earlier article.

erniok:
I'm a country with diverse cultures such as ours, regionalism would always play out. Imagine bringing the technocrats from the south to head sensitive positions in government. Would you be surprised if the north cry of marginalisation tomorrow?

The North started this trend under Buhari's government, they should endure it too because other people watched as they did it for 8 years under Buhari. That is my observation

Greenlandz:
Thanks for the clarification Mr Kperogi!

I am Yoruba from Ilorin but If you labelled me a northerner, you're also right. If I called myself a Yoruba guy, I am also right.

God bless Nigeria

One love

Happy first Sunday family 🥰

Mr Kperogi's attempt at clarification still corroborates his earlier view:

From his explanation and opinion of most people on this platform, Bayo Ojulari is a Yoruba man who happens to be of North Central origin. Don't forget that North Central is a geopolitical zone not a tribal group.

The Kwara people are predominantly Yoruba people. That means the allegations of Mr Kperogi are still founded by his clever attempt to deflect his earlier assertions.

I wonder why he is trying to clarify his opinion anyway. I don't really blame Tinubu because Buhari showed everyone that he didn't care about the federal character in his selections for service in his government and the various MDAs under his government. Never has nepotism been so bad as it was under Buhari. Was it the recruitment done in FIRS, NPA but to mention a few, under Buhari's government.

When you set a dangerous precedence, you should know that it may turn around to bedevil you. I am somehow not bothered that Tinubu seems to be serving the North back the nepotism and sectional recruitment and administration that they visited on Nigeria. I know this may just be the beginning. Everyone that becomes president of Nigeria will always want to select his trusted folks, especially for sensitive positions, in his government going forward. It has become a precedent contrary to federal character - federal character seem to have been dumped.

idanone:
Am from southern Kwara and am a full blood Yoruba man, in politics our name is North Central, but in reality we are South West Nigeria.

May I know the reason for this chameleon nature in politics or culture?

Judolisco:
Kwara is 90% Yoruba and I challenge anyone to tackle me on dis, kogi has a majority Yoruba tribe in the west, Dino melaye, smart adeyemi, deji adeyanju, and abiodun faleke, are all from dis region..... North-Central zones has a lot of diversity in terms of language as many tribes fall into dis zones..... It amazes me that instead of looking at competence in 2025,some people are still playing regional politics.....

Are you saying that Bayo Bashir Ojulari is incompetent?

BoldBrainz:
Why are you typing all of this new testament because people said they don't want illegal migrants in their country again ?

I don't even understand the logic behind this your argument. You want to force them to retain undocumented migrants? Oya when Trump massively deports them, go to the White House and solicit on their behalf na.

See problem o😂!

We can't force the USA, we are just analysing the situation. That is all.

However, I see why you can't understand my "new testament "

edunaragold:
it's a tit for tat move , surly they will fine a way to welcome her people back home ,but they too will shift us troops to an unknown location.

Thank you very much for your submission. It is simply a "tit for tat" foreign affairs policy at play.

BoldBrainz:
Good thing you said "had".

Whatever migrants were instrumental to building the US have long been assimilated into the American society, so that's an eternally porous point of argument.

[b]The country reserves every right under the sky to deport any illegal migrants at this point. Should they sit back and watch their society collapse from the influx of migrants simply because they want to please you and your ilk? Abeg get real![/b]

Building process is continuous, a lot of your Nigerians, documented and otherwise, are doing several jobs in the USA which means they are adding value. They are being taxed and the ones that are not taxed are earning less that minimum wage hence the company or person that employed them is still benefiting from them (they are able to pay them less because they are undocumented however, the job is done and value is added).

Your point in bold letters is well taken and accepted by me but I don't agree with you that their society is collapsing due to influx of migrants. There are jobs in USA, most white and blue collar jobs are reserved for their citizens and a few documented migrants that have high value however, most jobs undocumented migrants take in the USA are brown collar jobs, casual and menial jobs. They are jobs that most Americans don't want to do but those undocumented migrants do it to make money.

It is all about the Benjamins.

Typical American would prefer to be on social Security scheme of being paid monthly stipends for upkeep and doing online jobs from the comfort of their homes or parlor. However, undocumented migrants are hustlers, they hustle hard because they plan to return home some day or perfect their documentation in USA someday and be able to afford mortgage and assets by then with funds saved. They also have responsibilities to family and folks too so they take any job available.

SenatePresdo:
Why didn't OP post a chicken or goat and ask the same question?

It's gross, that's why he asked it.

You can eat a baboon that it's head is like your own, ozuor.

Foolish boy!

Yes I can. I am proud to say I can, if you are pained about it na you sabi.

What is your problem? People eat dogs, snakes, frogs and so many other strange animals and food.

Let me also state that it is not peculiar to Nigeria or africa. Do you know the various strange meats and delicacies that Chinese people eat? That is what they wanna eat, not into your mouth but their mouth; belly.

Why is there a word like "Cannibal"? It is used to describe the act of eating humans because it is still meat anyway.

You have not heard of people eating other people during war times, hunger and famine, people lost at sea? Some people from your South East (Ngwa people) even eat humans as normal delicacy.

Why are you acting like a pussy over food, as in - meat!

Baboon meat is good meat, if you don't like it then find another meat. You don't have to eat it but don't disturb other people that eat it.

Period! You are becoming a nuisance on this thread. What exactly is your problem? Just talking without sense.

Ontarioo:
Who benefits mostly from the military base?

Good question!

In fact, excellent question

BoldBrainz:
It's not mandatory to play host to undocumented migrants. If the host country decides to deport such elements, their origin nations should make plans to integrate them into the society, not threaten the country being plagued by the illegal migrants scourge.

How is the USA 🇺🇸 plagued by these migrants?

The USA that you see today had a significant contribution to nation building by migrants, including the undocumented ones too.

helinues:
Okay. Could you please sir point out to what's wrong with the comments you are attacking.. Your comments is not even showing attacking comments but my personality.

The question is why?

"U think is this foolish one u have here as the president,this is not Remi Tinubu but a woman with depth and guts.

Amala man,just stay on ur Lane."

That statement is highly unnecessary. You started the banter so when they gave it to you, you come dey ask why?

Nice2023:
This shows that u have no common sense.

Don't be commenting when u can't put yourself together.

U are just being a nuisance here.

U think is this foolish one u have here as the president,this is not Remi Tinubu but a woman with depth and guts.

Amala man,just stay on ur Lane.

Can any African country president threaten the USA 🇺🇸 president economically, militarily or otherwise?

Does 🇺🇸 have any military base in Nigeria?
