Just leave those people that don't even know what they want there is this Ghanaian tiktoker that came to Nigeria to buy brand new iPhone 13 for around 400usd when converted from naira and buy the same product in Ghana around 1000usd but some mumu go still think that Ghana is better... last time I check DSTV confarm sub is around 11k in Nigeria but the same sub is around 28k in Ghana ... 1 Gb of data in Nigeria is around 300 naira but in Ghana the same data is around 1500naira ... the list long no be small

God bless you. Thes facts you drop they will still ignore because many Nigerians are determined to hate on themselves.

Nothing you can tell or show them that will make some Nigerians see anything good about Nigeria.

What's so fetish about "Ori(chi)sa" or "Omi"?
Water no get enemy Abeg!

They are just ignorant. Most people fear what they do not understand. It is those who seek greater knowledge, so they can understand life better, who run the world.

Factcheck0001:
in Yoruba land, once u are a leader u are the father of everything.

U no longer have a religion or bias.

U must associate freely with anyone, that's y u see adeleke in mosque today n in church tomorrow n he will still do orisa next tomorrow.

That's Yoruba for u

Don't mind them. They will never understand Yorubas because they continue to view our lives from their own perspective.

Take me a Yoruba. Born into a Christian home and I am studying Ifa divination currently.

Meanwhile my elder sister is married to A Moslem and they have four kids. Three Christians and one Moslem.

Yoruba's tolerant and expansive minds/disposition is to die for. Some people need to learn from us 😎

This is part of the N500b Food For Lagos initiative. There's a Lagos farm in Niger which would run the course.
Gov Bago is very underrated, he is a top 3 best performing Governor. There's no regrets voting Gov Sanwo Olu the second time.


-Kiss the truth!

He is. In fact he comes to mind when I think of young and progressives Northerners in office who could play bigger roles in Nigerian politics in future.

Win win for Lagos, Niger State and Nigerians

These are the sort of news that should excite young Nigerians and challenge them to get involved.

Even dedicating 3 years to learn specialist and profitable areas of processing agro-produce for export can make many youths far richer than money they earn from laptop scamming they engage in all day.

My nephew is 23 and already making serious money from fish farming he started 3 years ago. He stopped calling me to ask for money ages ago lol.

kedeojo:
the disgrunted obidients still say obi will win Kaduna south. I pity them cos northern Christian will massively vote for Tinubu. The governor really tried and since 2023, there are no single attack on Kaduna south . Tinubu played an important role by norminating one of them as a service chief. I will see what obi and igbos would use to campaign in 2027.

Don't mind those ones. They are too emotional and militant to understand politics. All they know is "we want to rule, give us the Presidency now !!"

for bringing peace to Southern Kaduna is even a highly commendable achievement indicating he values the lives of all Kaduna indigenes more than his predecessor.

Your August 14 OP below shows you talking sensibly about how you don’t absolve ebilokan of any wrongdoing, despite his 26 years a-looter master plan for waterless Lagos.

Oga, make I apologize. Na my fault and mistake for engaging you even as I know your irredeemable character.

No vex. My bad. I go leave you dey your lane in future.

Therock5555:
You've said the complete truth boss ..👍👍👍

They won't accept that Sir. They prefer to insist, unreasonably and ignorantly , that the President alone is the problem of Nigeria start to finish.

They don't even mention Governors, legislators, local Government chairmen, irresponsible clerics and pastors, worthless Obas, Emir, Igwes etal and even ordinary Nigerians.

We have One President but ignore the role that literally hundreds of thousands of political cultural, religious, administrative leaders have to play in the national solutions mix.

We Ignore the role of ordinary Nigerians too because virtually all in that category believe they are victims including the girls, and dem yapa for Lagos and Abuja now, who irresponsibly opened leg for a layabout villagers ,not interested in condoms, to then bring two kids or more into the world they leave with their elderly mums to go and 'hustle" in other States of Nigeria.

These are kids, because of deprivation due to no mum and dad to raise them, destined to be menaces to society. We are not talking about these serious social ills yet expecting a wonderful nation with milk and honey flowing for every citizen.

Did we not see China initiate a family planning policy,of one child per family, at a time unfeasible population growth was threating the socio-economic health of China.

Yet many, as the man below insists, are even having children to use as beggars so they can sit at home all day nothing at all but creating more babies.

All Nigerians are indulging that self-destructive madness that is the biggest recruiting Sargent for terrorism and banditry yet we somehow feel we should live like Britons and Emiratis.

Same self-deluding Nigerians will then go online to be demarketing Nigeria and praising other nation who do not have the issues we have and irresponsibly fail to confront as a people.

We expect a people behaving irresponsibly,i.e Nigerians, to have the good life those in the nation we japa to enjoy, [b]yet personally, [/b]we do not wish to commit to doing what those nations have done to be where they are.

Are you talking about leaders looters who asked to be given the opportunity to serve and the responsibility that comes with it?

Or you are talking about leaders who were forced to take up the job?

Can you please clarify

You hardly ever talk sensibly. See my post about the issue of unsustainable population growth, that is on Nigerian adult, and then come up with one of your redundant counter-arguments as usual.

I don't know how folks like you can attack individual leaders alone always, 24/7, whereas anyone who know the on-ground reality of Nigeria appreciate the contribution of ordinary Nigerians to our dire overall situation.

People like you are not truthful, sincere or helpful in my opinion and your one way-hatred of certain leaders and the government, who I don't absolve of wrongdoing, means that you can never be part of the solution of Nigeria. You are a solid part of the problem.

Therock5555:
And how many of them are oil producing countries?

It's not about been an oil producing nation only. Think about the far mores serious consequence of Nigerian leaders, especially in the North, not at all willing to broach the topic of family planning to the extent we now have families with many children they cannot feed or cater for.

Did China, as a nation, not bravely confront and address that same issue when she limited families to having only one child in the past due to how spiralling population threatened her economic survival?

We cannot even have that conversation in Nigeria with literally all Northerners exploding with rage over "disrespect" to Islam whereas the issue is simply socio-economic and not religious.

Fact is that even if religion allows several wives and countless children commonsense, as Moslem nations like Turkey show, should tell an adult, even an illiterate one, it is wrong to being a child into the world to suffer because you cannot cater for that one child let alone the 20 you birth you feel it is your right to have!!!

We are not seeing what we should because we still do not appreciate that economic growth and greater national income for Nigeria will not overcome problems linked to social irresponsibility, unproductive citizenry, refusal of some regions to take education of children seriously etc, etc, etc.

You cannot simplistically narrow everything down to an argument Nigeria has oil and therefore all her citizens should live like Saudi Arabians.

Are Nigerians, leaders and followers, as responsible, disciplined and considerate as Saudi Arabians?

occfx:
Nigeria is not habitable to 80% of her population... Simple. Even if fuel is 1 naira, if I can't afford it in Nigeria, it doesn't make sense.

This is because people like you put everything on leaders and the Governemnt while absolving Nigerian adults of responsibility even as they revel in doing wrong things every adult should know comes with negative personal repercussion.


As the Hausa man below says, 3:24 time stamp into the video, it is "Haram" to bring children into the world you cannot cater for.

I am not here to hold brief for the government but the obligation of nation building falls on leaders and followers. Government and the people also.

Is irresponsibly swelling the population of Nigeria to 500 million people by 2070, with majority of that population unproductive, the way to build a developing Country with serious economic challenges and an undiversified economy? We need to look at ourselves in the mirror.

StoryHaven:
Even browsing data in Nigeria is so cheap that if you compare to other countries, it's like Nigerians are paying nothing.
I am not a fan of jagaban but Nigerians enjoy some things than many nations. I am rationing my data as I type. This month alone I have spent 7,500 cefas and checking the balance yesterday, I feel depressed. That is more than 20,000 naira and the month never end.

Well-said. Even like for like data plan of MTN is cheaper in Nigeria than Ghana. If I am out and about, away from my home or office WiFi, I buy 4.5GB of data from MTN for 1000 Naira on a daily plan.

Does Ghana or any of the nations using Cefa get same value?

Seeing yourself or your nation as the worst and the lowest should be based on fact and not self-hatred which can then make you a loser incapable of seeing the positives.

sirray001:
before you conclude, always check out for the country minimum wage compare to Nigeria to know if things are cheaper in Nigeria or not

Have you done same before speaking? Obviously some of you are programmed to automatically assume the worst about Nigeria.

Okichi:
All you have stated does not make sense, all you need to do is compare the minimum wage of Ghana or any of the african countries listed here with that of Nigeria

Ogbeni, I am not one to talk ignorant of fact or in blind support of Nigeria. In fact most times I speak from direct experience I have on the subject matter. I know Ghana well from direct experience and was even in Accra in March.

Ghana's minimum wage is 539 cedis monthly based on 19.97 cedis a day linked to a 27 days working month.

Ask anyone who know Ghana and they will tell you the 27 days is generous as it is more like 20 to 22 days months.

Even granting the 539 cedis for a 27 days working month, that converts to 75k Naira which is close to the 70k Naira minimum monthly wage of Ghana with most goods and services in Ghana costing at least 2 times what Nigerians pay, and up to 4 times even, for same goods and services and that is even[b] accounting for abnormally high reforms-related inflation Nigeria is experience. [/b]

So what the hell are you talk about bro? Nigerian minimum wage, today makes Nigerians richer than Ghanaians per what both can afford monthly using their respetive minimum wage. That is fact.

Everything else is you people's ignorant and fact-bereft desperation to proclaim every single nation on Earth as better than the "Zoo". Bro, abeg go siddon.

Emtol01:
Thank you. Even that haircut is not up to 1k in some states. Like myself, I've never barbed for 1.5k and I lives in one of the most serene capital cities in the Southwest.
We just hate ourselves in Nigeria for no just cause.

You are 100% correct. I deliberately used the 1500 Naira figure valid for most of Lagos Island minus areas like Ikoyi etal even as I know you cannot pay more than 500 Naira in Ijebu Ode for example.

I did that in anticipation of self-hating Nigerians coming to argue that my 1500 figure is one the low side. I would then factually show them it is even above average per Nigeria.

That is how much I anticipate the nonsensical counter-arguments that will be presented by Nigerians who hate Nigeria and are devoted to demarketing her always.

Honestly, hate Nigerians have for themselves and Nigeria is an evil thing. It is like the hate a parent has for a child to the extent anything wrong that child is accused of, the parent will side with the accusers and insist they beat and terrorise the child.

What hope does said child (Nigeria) have of growing into a productive and well-adjusted adult?

Amotolongbo:
I use to tell them here whenever there is a debate on currency value with the Ghanaians, I would tell them to multiply the price of any item they buy in GHC by 10,000. That is the real price of the item cos of the redenomination they did, dropping 4 zeros from their currencies.

Indeed. Redenomination achieves some positives but not the intrinsic purchasing power of the currency.

For example it is easier, for convenience and numerical counting, for 20,000 Naira become 2 Naira by removing several zeroes.

Yet the 2 Naira will buy the same thing 20,000 Naira used to. As they still have the same purchasing power.

helinues:
Things are cheap in Nigeria, not just the oil. I read online yesterday that barbing in Ghana now is around 20GHC. Convert that amount to naira

A lot of Nigerians blind themselves to reality hating one thing/person or the other. Ghana is terribly expensive and it is irritating ignorant and self-hating Nigerians keep referencing her as "economically superior" to shade Nigeria.

I remember earlier this year, with the usual talk of Ghana currency "superiority' to Naira, I had to factually prove that Ghana redenomination of her currency does not make the cedi more valuable than naira because removing zeroes does not increase a currency's spending power.

I showed, factually, a product sold in both nations, in real time, cost around 700 Naira in Nigeria whereas it's equivalent price in Ghana, converting cedis to Naira, is around 2,500 Naira.

As I said earlier, hatred of ourselves make us the biggest enemies of progress to each other.

Imagine the ignorance and self-hate making some Nigerians insist the worthless cedis is more valuable than Naira simply because the 20 cedis you mentions appears of greater value compared to her Naira equivalentof 2,816 Naira.

Yet inspect the purchasing power parity (PPP), the real determinant of a currency's strenght and measure of inflation, which shows a 20 cedis (2816 Naira) haircut in Ghana is 1500 Naira (10.65 cedis) in Nigeria.

Meaning Nigerians pay half of what Ghanaians pay for haircut. Yet self-hating Nigerians are still bashing their own nation.

Bro, shey you see why I push for regional autonomy daily? A country full of different ethnicities who hate themselves and act like enemies more than fellow citizens plus the biggest and most ignorant demarketers of each other, can never forge a great nation.

Much easier for ethnicities that love themselves to develop great regions of Nigeria instead once freed of 'one Nigeria' restrictions.

SmartPolician:
Mr. Kyari must have transferred the significant fraction of his loot to his foreign accounts. That 661 million is just for meeting his immediate needs. If you become the GMD of NNPC in a corrupt country like Nigeria, you won't be worth nothing less than $20 million.

$20 million ke? Must be at least $500 million USD to $1 billion USD for the lenght of time Kyari spent in charge of Nigeria's oil wealth.

madridguy:
The most barbaric region in Nigeria. Imagine six able men fighting a woman.

Indeed. The woman below gets it spot on about how they do not love each other and are very violent to each other in Ala Igbo. Let them continue coming online fighting others who are far better than them rather than going to fix the warped mentality, values and psyche of the average Igbo

Managed properly, and with the reality of the world today, China can be an excellent development partner for a State like Ogun State with so much potentials.

They bring finance and technical expertise and Ogun offers them ROI (return on investment) that can create a mutually beneficial relationship that will endure for a long time.

The proviso being that Ogun State technocrat do their homework to ensure they negotiate firmly so that there is a cohesive strategy to aid the state's development and growth through trade engagement with Chinese firms.

Spandau:
Somehow, you managed to twist the narrative to Cownu and IPOB. Attention seeking victim. Kanu is Mossad asset my foot. Self aggrandizement.

Not sure that poster you responded to is actually sane TBH.

CoronaVirusPro:
They know the truth. It already conditioned to hate, condemn and insult the party.

What did PDP give them in 8years? Nothing outside telecom mast.

Even if His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) gives the South East 24 hours electricity, this lots will still tell you that “Shey na electricity we go eat”

They are programmed to detest good news and celebrate woes.

The bolded is 💯% correct and the reason they will struggle to make their own SE an example of a great civilisation they emptily brag they are.

fuckingAyaya:
Amotekun that bandits are using to do pepper soup. Have you heard anywhere in the news where Amotekun won bandits in a gun duel? The so called vigilante group in the east are Soludo's political tools used mainly for election rigging, harassing opposition party members and innocent individuals. The only security network recognized in the east is ESN created by Ohamadike himself to engage fulani herdsmen maiming innocent farmers. You can ask herdsmen how the HIT dey be with ESN, them dey cook herdsmen on a daily like pepper soup. How would ESN using Ak-47 riffles copy Amotekun using Dane gun? 😄😄😄 you self think am na.

Continue with your default modus operandi, as a people, entirely related to redundant arguments and a desire to deflect rather than confront and deal.

Even the bolded in your post confirms my point that shows you are a typical example of the human factor problem with the SE.

Amotekun cannot carry AK47 by law let alone ESN not sanctioned to operate by any Nigerian authority. Amotekun is clear about weapons limitations and lawfully works with that restriction to be as successful as possible

Yet you, without engaging your thinking faculty, are bragging over illegal AK47 been imported illegally into the SE and being used to murder Igbos by ESN, UGM and even cultist killer teenagers etal.

Is it not clear it is the wrong, lawless and illegal things you lot support now troubling you all to include many innocent Igbos?

It is not me, a Yoruba with no links to the SE whatsoever, who is losing out. It is your people fleeing the violence and murderous disposition of their fellow Igbos, now aided by copious importation of assault rifles , Cubana Chief Priest openly confessed made him leave the SE for Yorubaland permanently.

Kanu, years ago and publicly, openly demanded guns to fight Nigeria. He got the guns.

Where are you people now for the proliferation of weapon in the SE today have recieved whereas you mock Amotekun for operating with 'peashooters'? Who are the violent losers who have opened the gates of hell againss themselves they will struggle to close for a long time? Yorubas?

Kemetian:
Na wa o.

The entire world is bowing for Tinubu’s leadership.

They can see Nigeria is heading up. 😊

Nigerians should allow this man to finish his two terms please. The man knows his job.

The last thing I want to see is someone like Atiku or Obi coming in to scatter everything! 😡😠

Gos bless you for the bolded. My thinking exactly. I am not even a fan of our 'One Nigeria' presidential system yet I believe Tinubu can use it to create a Nigeria where everything and everyone in Nigeria is made to be far more productive and valuable, towards nation building, than we believed possible.

This is what is key to the the success of developed nations i.e optimal development and utilisation of human and material resources.

For example, we cannot have some of the best raw material endowment any nation of the world can be blessed with only to limit ourselves to selling these raw materials cheap so they return to us as expensive finished goods.

We cannot have a huge population, the envy of Africa, only for ridiculously large perxentage of that to be unskilled and unproductive. If even 50% of Nigerian adults are well-educated with specialist skills and training, [b] obtained from a university and other training institutions, then Nigeria is gone. Like Singapore.

I am personally excited over the many good that can happen for Nigeria under a visionary, driven and inspired Presidency of Tinubu.

Racoon:
Can Britain please make Tinubu their minister of economy or appoints him into any commonwealth economic steering committee let check something?

Here we go again. Na curse bro?
@Topic.
Tinubu is truly special. Unfortunately, he inherited Nigeria at her worst since 1999. Given time, he will make Nigeria and Nigerians more prosperous than ever.

Tax reforms under Tinubu, as one example of many, is a massive selling point attracting potential FDI from nations like the UK that need transparency and clarity over tax ation affairs of foreign companies operating in Nigeria.

All the FDI we are making noise about will grow at least 600% easily if Tinubu gets till 2031 in power because the world , to include the UK, will invest in Nigeria, with her stupendous potentials, and trade more with us if we can sort out fundamental issues, like security, infrastructure, automation of processes to defeat corruption etal, that currently makes many Nigerian States scary to investors.

This is what we expect from any security or vigilante group from the SE. I.e excessive use of force, lack of restraint, abusive conduct, and uneccessary violence

Awkuzu police station in Anambra is tagged the most brutal and murderous in Nigeria. Ebebeagu they copied Amotekun to rush and create is largely disbanded today for robbery, extortion, human rights abuse, extrajudicial killings etc while Amotekun wax stronger.

The people of the SE must really pay attention to the need for attitudinal change instead of 24/7 obsession with malevolent cho cho cho over the affair of others.

brainbox1000:
The federal govt are not doing this because of the poor masses , they are doing all of this because of 2027 , they want endorsements from the state govt.. if this is really for the people , first you will ask states what they use the previous money for ..

Ignorant talk. What you demand is the primary responsibility of the respective State houses of assembly not the FG. The FG's role is essentially related to promoting transparency not withholding funds or demanding "what they use the previous money for".

Majority of Nigerians are guided by sentiments, emotions and one prejudice or the other making them think and talk ignorantly. This is part of the reason we are not making progress as a nation.

You should task the "people" you speak on behalf of, beginning with yourself, to stop being lazy and get involved with what you assume is the responsibility of the FG.

They should take their leaders to task much better, and demand accountability, rather than flee to Lagos and Abuja to then be complaining about FG this and FG that in relation to the poor performance of their Governors.

Softmirror:
If anybody likes the should go and build brewery with their money or open bet Naija shop. Nothing concern Tinubu.

Precisely. The dumbest talk here is the claim of some that Tinubu is giving Governors more money to loot. Simply senseless.
