₦airaland Forum

No president can singlehandedly do that withiout the knowledge or help of the indigenous people, the fact that Buhari was unable to achieve Ruga scheme is more than enough for this man to learn from.

Putinofrussia:
So also is 100k in 2006 cannot buy what 8k can buy in 1987.


In1990, a 50k bag of rice cost N350.

In 2006, a 50kg bag of rice in Nigeria cost ₦6,000.


In 2025,a 50k bag of rice cost N70,000.
Let us do the maths.

6000 divided by 350 gives ~ 17.

70,000 divided by 6000 gives ~ 11.6= 12(approx)


Comparing the two with the space of 16 and 19 years,Tinubu has done better because price went up 17 times in 1990 (space of 16 years to 2006) even with the fraudulent Fuel Subsidy.

In 2025,with the removal of the fraudulent Fuel Subsidy,price only went up approximately,12 times (and things are still coming down exponentially, we pray)



Kudos to President Tinubu for having got the gut to make these hard decisions that brings prosperity to Nigerians soonest..

I have said this several times on Nairaland but people will quickly tag you as pro governmnet supporter. Nigeria has never had visionary leaders since 1966 when military took over the government. There were never a time Nigerians are not suffering, it is just that we don't have Internet and few people live in the cities back then.

Purchasing power was extremely low back then but majority were into back yard farming, which gives them majority of stable foods unlike today. Also, only few people used cars or have any need to buy petrol or kerosene, so they dont care much about increment in pump price or dollar. People make money more easily these days than those days. Politicians embezzled public fund with reckless abandoned, reason you see their great grandchildren still commanding millions of dollars despite their father being the politicians in 70's, 80's or 90's.

Soulsymbol99:
For this guy to still be protesting for over 25years only tells us this country has not made any meaningful progress.

Everything is not about physical protest as always done by Sowere. I really love the man, and i always wish he become a leader in this country but you see his aluta attitude has begins to make him look unserious to many.

Imagine him carried a briefcase containing tooth brush, toiletries and sponge for police invitation. This unnecessary show of immaturity portrayed him as someone making a joke of the situation. Maybe he has been treated like VIP at police custody before, reason he did not see any reason to respect the law enforcement agency.

Unfortunately this is the situation with many married men above 50, but it is a silent issue noone talks about . I also think this is one reason why polygamy is better and secondly at time been away for sometime usually brings back the intimacy

It is not only married men of 50 years and above but all men in monogamous marriage. Men are not wired to be having sex with only one woman for the rest of their lives. It get to a point that the real pleasure won't be there again during sex with your wife. There are two remedy to renew the lost intimate urge;

1. You stay apart for awhile like 3 months.

2. You have sex with another woman.

No. 2 is the fastest remedy but I won't recommend it for anyone who is not rich enough, because it is destructives, especially if you are someone that still struggling to be liberated from poverty.

Atiku/obi like 2019 ticket must have been agreed on before they even came up for the coalition, it is only political novices that don't know this. Tinubu and APC has already knows this, reason they are trying to mop up all votes from SS, SW and NC. They will still get significant votes from NW and NE.

Meanwhile, Atiku/Obi ticket will definitely win NW, NE and SE. The winner will be determine by margin votes in entirely North.

APC still have upper hands here, because there is possibility of them winning entire South and North Central with a wide margin. They will also get substantial amount of votes in NW and NE.

The gentleman power rotation between North and South has already jeopardize the chances of coalition.

$100k is not a peanut to an average female footballer, so everyone should understand their grievance. Well meaning Nigerians should come up to compensate them as well, they truly deserve being honoured too.

ufotunang:
..ok but they said the law in USA and other foreign western countries...child right law ..does not allow a parent to spank or flog his child or children.. that if the parents does that the parents can be arrested by the police or the child or children can sue the parents to court for flogging or spanking them or can call the police to arrest their parents ..

Yes, and that is why we must not copy this dangerous law in this part of the world. "Child right law" should only focus on child abuse, such as child labour, rape or killing. A natural little child can only be moulded through discipline and little spank with cane by their parents. If you had ever be with little kids, you will understand how sturbbon and insincere they could be. The only people that can mould and integrate a child into a large society is their parents, so any law that is giving a child who know nothing about what is good or bad an undue independent right or excessive freedom is only placing her society on a time bomb waiting to explode.

I'm 100% certain that in no distance future, the west will rewrite this law, just like the way Trump and some other western leaders are banning homosexuality.

Ekejoestar:
Most of you Africans in this forum thinks that you're different from the young man, but the only difference is that you don't have access to guns and firearms.

Alot of African kids has unlimited access to their father local guns/weapons but won't get provoke to the extent of killing them due to excessive fear and discipline being imposed by their parents.

This is a result of poor upbringing of a child, you don't allow children to have excessive freedom or behave like they have special right under your care. You train them by your own rules, until they are fully mature to take a reasonable decision on their own. It is quite unfortunate that alot of African parents are copying this unsafe western style of rasing a kid in the name of being woke. The result has already being seen in the lives of the so called Gen-z, and it is just a matter of time that they start killing their parents or send them to jail too.

That is why this country need to follow the path of true federalism to make a meaningful progress. Every tribe or society have a special way of settlling issues within them. Give each geopolitical zone a total control of their affairs and see how peace will return to entire country.

These terrorists are mostly carries out their jihads because of their hatred for the southerners they see as unbelievers and western ideology form of government. They will most likely listen to their religion leaders and regional government and get along by little encouragement to embrace civility.

Reflect7:
Why is Peter Obi silent about the drug trafficking epidemic in the South East?

He talks a lot about Bangladesh, Indonesia and all these places.

Is he aware that those places are teeming with prisoners from his state, convicted for trafficking hard drugs?

When will he call for a South East Conference on Drug Trafficking?

This issue must be addressed not just by Obi, but ALL Igbo political and traditional leaders.

They are silent accomplices in this scandal.

We cannot have the indigenes of one state drag the entire nation’s name through the mud internationally due to their sheer greed for money.

Anambra is not a poor state. They are not Sokoto or Adamawa. They have no reason to be into this nefarious activity.

Drugs trafficking is not peculiar to only Igbos, other tribes too are always involves. The only difference is that, Yorubas carry their drugs to less strict drug regulation western countries in collaboration with highly connected catels, while Igbo are found of taking theirs to less developed strict drug regulation countries in Asia/central America with little or no highly connected catels. Hausa takes their to majoriy Arab countries with little or no drug regulation during pilgrimage.

Besides, Igbos are fearless and risk takers, while a typical Yoruba drug trafficker might be afraid of going or deliver to a particular country, Igbo might not think twice to do so due to their fearless nature. Another thing I observe is, Yoruba or Hausa drug trafficker would rather do it alone and take care of people around him but their Igbo counterpart would rather be stingy and tell his people to risk their lives too like him. That make alot of them desperate to be rich like their brother withiout being equipped very well before embacking on the mission.

In conclusion, whoever got caught is always call a theif, that igbos are always caught in the act due to their unprocessed risk taking does not mean other tribes are not guilty as well.

Evergreen4:
Now this is not tribalism. when imo state governor did the same thing , the internet was full of complain, ring lights and camera's flying around followed with bashing contents. Verydarkman should do criticize him na

He started it, reason other keep doing the same. If he has summoned all the team members and compensate them, other would not be doing it separately. One thing about Nigeria politicians is that, once one person do something and get media attention, other will definitely follow the same step.

Daniel058:
I thought Dimeji Bankole was senate president ,.



I wish Peter G Obi is our President

He was speaker of house of representative. Nigeria has two legislatives bodies.

Senate - upper house of representative ( headed by Senate president/ 3rd citizen)

Representative- lower house of representative, ( headed by Speaker/ 4th citizen).

National teams coaches are paying monthly, while players are only paying match bonus or participation allowances.

Coaches are hire to do the job and get paid irrespective of whether the team win or not. Anything giving to coaches for winning trophies are bonus or gifts because it is what they were paid to do.

MufasaLion:
He should have left his house within the 9 months if the host was supposedly bad to his I'm different ways as you've suggested. He didn't leave but instead stayed to eat, sleep, bathe and do all sort for 9 months. Nigerians just hate accountability and irresponsibility.

You didn't trust him enough with your travel plans even if it was to tell him after you got your visa, which was the appropriate thing to do but instead you stayed back. You all underrate what it means to provide accommodation for people especially non-relatives.

Whether he's been deported or in jail shouldn't be a discussion because we all know that the probability of that happening is very low!

Lol, may life never happened to you to the extent of being rejoicing to eat your enemies food. You sounded like inexperience person about real life situation. Someone can pampered you but still don't want your progress, someone can give you life but still take it back in another way. Nature has a way to tell us or make us identify genuine people in our lives. Like I said before, alot of things we don't know might responsible for his action. The early you understand that humans are not as loyal and love like God or even dogs, the better for you. You can feed and clothes humans for 50 years and becomes their everlasting enemy from a single wrong doing by you. That is the nature of human beings.

Aside what I stated in my previous post, some people don't know how to appreciate, not that they don't value what you do for them or intentionally doing it the other way but because they just don't see it as wrong. They will thank you genuinely at that moment but that is all. It is their nature, they might even love you more than the person doing eye service by praising you. I will say it again, you can only know ungrateful people when you are also in need of help and they fail or refuse to reciprocate when they have the capacity to do so.

MufasaLion:
Stop justifying bad behavior.

You sheltered someone for 9 months without asking for a penny but he didn't deem it fit to inform you of his travel plans until a day before?

Someone that is traveling would have been preparing for months! It' takes nothing less than 6/7 months to start travel process. He should have informed the guy probably immediately he got his visa not a day before his flight.

You people just like to be ungrateful! If he didn't trust his host enough with his safety, he wouldn't have stayed with him for 9 months! He was just being ungrateful!

Relax bro, there is reason for every action and inaction, you can never tell if he has seen some bad traits in him or a jealous type or someone with loose mouth. You can be good to someone and still be hurting them emotionally. I have seen where a guy accommodate his friend and start sleeping with his girlfriend. I have also seen someone who accommodate a friend and still bad mouthed him to their neighbour that want to get job for him. His friend knows better than us, this might go beyond being ungrateful, because ungrateful people don't usually ghost you, they could be your friend and still not appreciate or reciprocate your kind gesture.

Besides, things are not always what we think they are, he might have lost his phone or his number, he might be in prison, he might have even been deported or left for another country.

It is so unfortunate that serefusi the head of Agemo worshipers might eventually be freed.

Politicians and top government officials including security agents patronise these wicked herbalists.

givedemwotowoto:
Did he steal public funds to send his son abroad? That’s the only way this topic will make any sense, else it’s a low IQ discussion topic

If you don't see anything wrong with this, then they need to check your IQ rather.

Infact, I have no more words for your kinds.

Alexas58:
This is a very healthy correction using my method

If btc corrects to 100k I won’t still short it for now


Which one is natural bull run again?

I called it Natural bull run because, what people are calling bull run today is a normal market movement orchestrated by big players. Bitcoin moves steadily between $18k to over $100k from late 2022 to the present. More than 500%, and this milestone signified different dynamism in market trend. Judging from previous market dynamism, Bitcoin don't make significant movement like the one we saw between late 2022 and now during bear market, it kept slowing down or totally fall until another bull run. If we are to judge by this movement, we can as well say there is no bear market at all since late 2022.

Characteristics of natural bull.

1. It usually short and fast.

2. Market become stabilise after a major bitcoin leg up to pave way for altcoins.

3. Alts don't move along with bitcoin, it bleed during pump but skyrocket when bitcoin movement is stabilise.

Bull run usually happens within short period of 6 months or slightly higher. Bitcoin don't make a big fluctuating retrace during bull run but stabilise and pump again. It showed this same Characteristics in May before manipulators crashed it back below 100k. Bitcoin can show green for straight two weeks during a natural bull run.

My submissions are the following:

1. Market dynamism has totally changed, therefore, we may not see an era of real bull run again.

2. Altcoins are dead, few major ones will made a way but majority will only impoverish the investors who refuse to opt out or take profits.

3. Crypto is as good as trading stocks.

Considering Dapo Abiodun 65 years of age, Tinubu might be close to 90 now.

CoronaVirusPro:
Who cares!

Lady feeling very important!

She should identify with anything of her choice. Changes NOTHING!

Wannabe! She now feeling like a Caucasian that she will never be!

She is only pressing their mumu buttons over there to get a key political post.

There are many like that before her, and if at the end of the day she doesn't get any, she will relocate back to Nigeria in her 70s. If she eventually get to the top politically in UK before that age, she will not relocate but spend most of her time in Nigeria.

Alexas58:
A correction to 100k is a very healthy correction

Not healthy in a natural bull run.

Bull run is overdue but we surely can't have it straightforward anyone like before. Market manipulators will never allow straight bullish. The most saddest aspect is, even if Bitcoin hit 500k, some alts may never touch their ATH. Bitcoin dominance may not come down as these big players that can influence the market only believe in Bitcoin as safe investment.

Nigerians youth that know next to nothing about their right. Presidency is always our problems but we forgot that the Real problems are the governors.

Sometimes I keep wonder how some people would be blaming Federal government, when it not directly answerable to them.

Besides, how would Obi stop governors excessive or frivolous spending if elected as president, because the last time I checked, president don't have power to stop or question any state on which way it chose to spend it money.

osuofia2:
She is not single, she has a child

Ok, that is normal and understandable.

Thanks for clarification.

But which parents gave their single daughter to a father of over 5 children from different women? Nawa o.

How many time will he declare state of emergency in food and security? I think I have read the same more than 3 times in the past. Ordinary rice they remove duty on its importation, they could not extend it more than 6 months.

I wonder how a government will prioritise revenue generation over the welfare of the people he is governed. It would've better and understandable if they use the money for the benefit of all, but they have not so far.

Brahamimo:
Why asking me what exactly I'm complaining about?
What's difficult for you to comprehend in my write-up or did u just to comment without understanding?
I already stated and acknowledged with gratitude for her nursing me till age 8, and you're still repeating same in your comment

My post literally means, you don't need to complain about the issue like this but do treat her in accordance with what she deserved. Mother is mother, you are the only one that can decide how to treat her on the basis of your relationship.

You don't even have any problem to start with, if I were you, I will let her know how fair i am doing with life and do whatever she deserves for her. That is all.

Bringing the issue here will not solve anything as each person suffer or enjoy various type of treatments from our parents.

What exactly are you complaining about, if you are comfortable to give, take care of her needs, and if not, do whatever within your capacity. Don't kill yourself over such a mother, let her only feel proud of having you withiout necessarily giving yourself undue pressure.

Nursing you from the womb to about 8 years old is not an easy job too, that is why you need to respect her even withiout giving her the supports she might naturally deserved.

AMINDA:
Small speech from Kwankwaso and APC are already panicking, organising a two day emergency summit in Kaduna. What are Tinubu's achievements in the North to warrant Northerners voting for him again in 2027?

And what was Buhari achievement when the same Notherners voted for him the second term?

Let the South have for 8 years like Buhari did, if you don't won't Tinubu again, then back Peter Obi from the South. It is not even like the present set of politicians from the North have sensible thing to offer apart from the same old way of looting and retrogressing the same North.

He shouldn't have proposed that bill in the first place because Nigeria is not yet ripe for that.

States are mostly bound by the people of the same tribe, identity, culture and history, you don't just say someone from another tribe should have a right to lord over them. You are only calling for a brutal civil war if such right is conferred on non citizens of a particular community.

illicit:
Stammering is a communicable thing, not exactly hereditary....

He just emulates you, maybe you should let him stay with another family where nobody stutters for a while

It might not be hereditary but natural in some cases. I know a close to 50years old man that still stamer till today.

“Nigeria must work in our lifetime. We will bring back a people-centered government!”

– Rauf Aregbesola

If Aregbesola actually made this statement, then may ancestors thunder fire him into pieces. He can only say that to gullible fellows.

The same man that refused to listen to anyone and went ahead to destroyed education system in his state. The same man that wasted billions of tax payers money on needless programs in his state? Same man that headed ministry of interior for good 8 years with nothing to show as tangible achievements?
