Very poor

With that, you can have access to flexible loan from banks or cooperative society and start a side business to increase your income. Your gratuities and pension too will help your old age. You are very lucky to be a federal civil servant.

Not only grains, government need to do this on cows, goats and rams too.

An average big cow is not less than a million naira now, the same cows these Fulanis feed on people sweat and blood. Same go for the rams and Goats, an average big ram today is not less than 400k, while small goat that use to be 30k is now selling around 100k.

One of a great injustice and wickedness in this country is doing by Fulanis. They are making hundreds of millions on these cattles, yet they refuse to built ranches for their animals.

The propose "forest guard scheme" should be made to be under state or local governments. They should be mandated to cease or kill any cattle roaming around our forest and farmland. The big men and politicians who are the owners of these cattles should be prove and made to face the wrath of the law.

Axis313:
The problem is this,it will be politicized.
That's when you will see the governor will have a certain slots,deputy governor,local government chairmen,traditional rulers,senators and other politicians will have their own slots.
Whatever little positions remaining will be shared to those who don't have connection.

It would even better if they politicise and employ the right number of people, what if they employ just 500 personnel's and tell FG they have employed 5000. Humans are hopelessly wicked and heartless in this part of the world.

People can only changed by circumstances but not by who they truly are. She would one day got tired of this boring life and start sleeping with men codely.

She can't make a good wife. If you must marry any retired prostitute, zero your mind from long lasting loyalty from her.

Nigeria Defence Academy has all you are talking about, it is almost the level as university with different courses( including intelligence unit and Health science). Perhaps you take those illiterate recruited combatants for those that went to NDA.

Besides, soldering is an art, and not what you just join withiout undergoing special training. There are qualified personnel among them but corruption has dwarf every effort made by good ones among them. The infiltration of locals and harsh desert terrain always make it so difficult for armies to defeat insurgents in the North. These guys are more sophisticated than you think, have they support and link to get more modern weapons and finance from advance Talibans, Hamas, and ISIS. Also, there are many informants among Nigeria soldiers that are sharing from crime proceeds perpetrated by these extremists.

Government should as matter of urgency declare a state of emergency in affected areas and seek more help from more experienced desert combatant Ecowas armies. By this, they would be thoroughly dealt with and push them back to Sahara up North Africa.

very true add Smugglers

Smugglers are only doing business, and they sometime lose magnificently to the point that some may never recover again. Some may even lose their lives along the line.

Unlike those I mentioned, they steal nothing, they work for their money, just using their money to take banned products across the borders.

Spursy:
What is that one Thing?

No one will ever understand why some people are broke or work hard with nothing to show for it, until you experience it yourself.

Every rich or average rich man will think broke ones are lazy or dull until he become broke himself.

No man become wise or have deep understanding of life withiout being broke once in his life time.

Judolisco:
Dis one na agba yahoo... E fit Don spend dat money finish sef.... Now he doesn't have peace

That is probably one of the deals he made during that time. Majority of rich men you see in Nigeria today are former fraudsters or those that their fathers has steal so much during military governments. The rest are those that made it through oil, money laundry, and dollar arbitration.

Love800:
Is match-making the same thing with arranged/referral marriage?

Not the same thing. Match making is modern way of connecting two strange people by a neutral or professional person who may not know anything about them. It is often doing for business purpose.

Arranges/referer on the other hand is a situation whereby a close relative, friend or parent recommend someone to you base on their personal relationship with that person. This is often doing for love, and they are most like not to recommend a bad person because they must have had a good relationship with that person or the family the person came from.

Majority of women going to match makers to find husbands for them are retired prostitutes, divorcees, greedy women, very bad character women, etc, while majority of men you see there are mostly looking for sex or rich ladies to dupe and turn to single mother.

pansophist:
The best way to get a wife is through referral (AKA arranged marriage).

Let someone you know, that you trust, and have your best interest at heart help you search for a wife. If you choose a wife yourself, you are more likely to choose base on wrong reasons.

A woman that you find attractive can easily pass as a good wife. Especially when she knows you want a wife, and she may act as a camouflage of a good wife-to-be.

With referral, there is something called ''third-party accountability''.The referral has a sense of accountability to the outcome of your union, and it is in his best interest for the the relationship to work.

Also, referrers can see things objectively, they know you, and your potential wife, and can vouch for the suitability of both parties. A referrers will not look for a wife through social media for you.

It most likely will be a girl they have known for long, and everyone knows who she is. So you will have no fear if you are marrying a repentant public property. Referral by design will filter the rubbishes out.

The area that you might have to compromise on is on attraction, because a referred wife might not make your preek stand

But in the end, we will all settle. It is up to you if you want a beautiful marriage, or a warzone because you married a lady with a big behind.

That is why the marriage of our parents and forefathers last through the ages. In those days, it was a responsibility of parents, relatives or family friends to find partners for their children from reputable families.

richmond500:
I disagree with ur number one point
Church is one of the best place to find decent ladies.

I also disagree with schools and professional event, these are the places to find a career driven woman that will help u soar. Events are the easiest place to find connections and a lady who attends professional events already has connections.

Also friends suggestions is not bad, my brother's wife was suggested to him by a friend and he married her as a virgin, very beautiful and well behaved

Olosbo full Church on Sunday, I know many of them in my area that don't joke with Sunday service.

Though, he got it wrong with school and professional events and friends suggestion. Friends suggestions are always the best.

Social media and match making are the worse of them all. That is where retire hookup girls look for husband.

$4000 might looks too big to us but probably not to this couple. Besides, some people prioritise their happiness over all goodies in this world. It is when you have this money that you will realise money can't buy peace of mind if you don't have one.

Only a dumb person will chose money over his/her family, money can come and go, but the one close to your heart will stand by you in happiness or sorrow.

@ iLegendd

Even in advanced countries, places like China and USA, people work on the farm and other people work with different sectors.

I don't get the ideology behind always condemning academic certification.

You people hype agriculture like it's the only thing that can give you a path to wealth.

Lemme tell you, one of the reasons India is poor today is because most of their citizens are farmers, they spend most of their time on the farm and agricultural produce is their main source of income.

Almost all the countries have embraced self-dependent agricultural practice, this is not the 20th century when one particular country is dependent on another for food.

Too much of harvest will paralyse the price of agriculture produce.

Everybody cannot be on the Farm.
Some people need to keep your money.
Some people need to fix your machines that you use on the same farm.

Some people need to supply the fertilizers that you use.

Some people need to study on the best climate and water level to ensure maximum harvest.

Some people need to provide good roads to transport produce to where they can be sold.

Shelter is man's basic need. Some people need to study how to build good structures. All these things require academic certifications.

This is not rocket science. When there is too much harvest in the market, the price of farm produce drops and that's a loss for the farmers.

Farming is not for everybody, the same way white collar job isn't for everybody.

From 2009 to the fall of 2015. The price of cassava dropped very woefully at the markets in Oyo State. Do you know why?
It was because prior to 2009, cassava was sold at high price and many people because of that went into cassava farming in large scale so much more that there was a sudden influx of harvest into the market and the price dropped.

What about pepper? In 2013 to early 2021. A 50kg salt sac full of pepper sometimes was sold at ₦200 in shasha market because there was too much harvest.

I've been into crop farming and fish farming.

A certain individual came to me for consultation on fish farming so I took him to my uncle because I wasn't making any production that period.

My uncle had been raising fishes for about 30 years now. And lemme tell you the truth, last year he went about looking for a white collar job.

Farming can give you a very huge kind of money that you never expected in your life in one year, and take back all the money and even run you into debt the next two years.

I'm not saying white collar job is better than Farming. I'm only saying everybody cannot be at the same place.

Agriculture will give plenty of food, yes of course. But it cannot sustain the economy. People will be well fed, but they will be poor.

Look at India and Mali where 80% depends their livelihood on agriculture yet they are considered poor both by global and regional standards.

If you wanted to destroy Africa it is very easy.
I agree with the religious tactics.
The other thing you can do is to sow a seed of greed into the heart of everyone and see how we'll wipe one another out in less than 10 years

The only thing i can agree with n your write up is your emphasis on diversification.

The fundamental problem of poor Africans is not but inability to solve our physiological needs. For a country to break a chain of underdevelopment, food should be the cheapest thing her citizen should worry about. You can't succeed as country withiout robust human resource. It is humans that drive the economy and not the other way round. Foods and good nutritions are primary requirements to promoter better human resources. You cant be hungry and talk about development. Development is a collective endeavour that all citizen must be Carrie along. This is the secrete of developed countries that dumb Africans fail to copy.

For Nigeria or Africa to achieve a meaningful socio-economic development, we must first past through Agririans societies in a modern way( because our forefathers had miss out on this ladder of development). Mechanised farming should be our main focus in Africa. Food should be most cheapest thing to obtain that even unemployed person can comfortably feed with all round nutritious foods.

As absurd as this may sounds, we have no business with modernity brought by developed Europe and America if we want to succeed in Africa. We need to start from Agririan communities, to technological advancement.

Note: when talking about Agririan societies, all citizens are not expected to farm, what it means is that, majority of our needs and focus will come from the nature.

SmartPolician:
That's not true. Tinubu has never supported Jonathan. We still remember these events. Tinubu supported Nuhu Ribadu as the presidential candidate of ACN.

You can't know more than someone that omething actually happened to.

He intentionally sponsor unpopular lighter weight Ribadu who only won in Osun state. Jonathan won massively in Lagos and other South west states.

santaclaws:
That Kwara state and hypocrisy sha... 70% of the muslims in Kwara are involved in one juju or the other, but they just love harassing innocent people living their lives. Anyways, I am not surprised.

The same hypocrites men won't mind to date her like that if she give them opportunity but would be forming holy in public to appeal good to others.

While I may not support wearing seductive clothes to religion houses, people can wear anything they are comfortable with outside of this places, and that shouldn't be anyone business. Besides, no law or anywhere in our constitution says that you cannot dress in a particular way in Nigeria.

If APC did not split after the emergency of Tinubu as its presidential candidate against the wish of majority of key members within the party, I don't think they will split now that the major oppositions has no visible direction to bank on.

Nigeria politicians are only motivated by what they tend to gain from the move, and the incumbent government offer them more benefits than uncertainty in opposition camps.

Whenever this happened, just know that the man involves might be battling with low sparm count withiout knowing. Alot of Nigeria men have this but will never know because their wives are constantly getting pregnant.

There is no way you will not father just a child out of 4 from a wife you constantly slept with. His wife may not be sleeping around self, just occasional accidental quicky could get her pregnant since her husband sperm is infertile.

DNA test at birth is the best.

Bitcoin has already ticked all boxes to indicate a real bull run. It now achieved the latest one (market stability). What makes a real bull run is market stability in which we are currently seeing.

The whale that SHORT with $35 million has got liquidated. If it ever go down below $98k, then it is no longer a bull run but manipulation by big players.

My advise, whether bull run or mere manipulation, always follow the run with stop loss.

Firebox123:
Once Enrique knock out Arsenal this night

Lemme see the way inter Milan will win the champion 🏆 league

You people said more than that before Barca game. Inter is a very strong team with alot of experienced players. Only Arsenal with restless pressure can beat them if they qualify today.

4.2m - 3.9m = 300k

He still have 300k left, he can send 200k to his mum nah.

Majority of Nigerians don't have that opportunity to save a kobo this period, so he should go and sit down jare.

JibrinAm:
This man used to be a very powerful figure in the political hemisphere of Nigeria. He is a politician. In fact, a one time governor in the late 1980s. He was also the CEO of Nigerian ports Authority(NPA). And a former national chairman of His Party.

Today, He's no longer as strong as he used to. Now old and sick. He's now confined to a wheel chair.
This is a lesson to everyone, power is transient.

May God show him Mercy.

What actually is the purpose of this thread? Nothing last forever, not even our existence. So, all of us are going to become old and die someday.

Are you mocking the old man or what exactly is your point?

yarimo:
ATIKU trying very hard to get the correct IPOB mumu bottom 🤣 ATIKU please try again

You are correct, he is only trying to get into Obidients heart. The man has studied the way they think and approach an issue.

Can Atiku use innoson vehicles himself? Let someone visit his garage at home and see if they will find made in chilna vehicles, let alone Aba made.

joshuaidibia:
Why Should a civil servant with a salary of 70k have 5 kids if not stupidity and ignorance!

You don't talk with wisdom, 30k before 2015 could feed his family compare to now that he earn 70k. What if all his children were born before Buhari/Tinubu economic meltdown?

For instance around 1990s and early 2000s, there were civil servants with 7 children that are living fine. Some even send their children to private schools then.

A bag of cement is now ₦10,000.

One bundle of zinc is now ₦85,000.

2x2 wood is now ₦2,000.

2x4 wood is now ₦4,000.

Fascia board is now ₦5,000.

12mm rod is now ₦15,000.

A trip of sand is now ₦70,000.

Mason daily pay is now ₦8,000.

Labourer daily pay is now ₦4,000.


Economic Context:

Minimum wage is now ₦70,000.


Using the law of advancing hardship, calculate the probability of a civil servant with a family of 5 building his own house before he retires.

Take Tinubu/APC as constant, c.

# COPIED

100% yes, banks are easily giving huge loan to civil servants, especially federal civil servants.

You can borrow upto 5 millions naira in some banks and be paying gradually and conveniently from your salary.

Outside of cities centres, 5 millions naira can build 2 bedrooms mini flat with no much interior designs that can be done later in future.

Partially mentally unstable persons are usually obsessed with a particular item. It maybe sim cards he has been picking on the floors for years.

Let the police investigate the matter thoroughly to know the truth.

There are some lines you don't cross in international schools...

There are discussions u dont have with pupils, there are questions or favours you don't ask from them or their parents

A teacher don't don't need to ask before these kids tell you everything about their homes and parents.

There are two things kids does perfectly out of their innocence.

1. They are very open about everything around them.

2. They lied alot when the tied is not in their favour or if they are under threat of punishment.

mrvitalis:
Let Oba challenge governor first na

Prominent or first class kings are not easy to be removed by Governors.

There are deities or traditions associated with those thrones that you can't just change anyhow. No Governor can remove Oba of Benin, Ooni of Ife and Alaafin of Oyo and go away with it.

Local industries withiout power supply and over priced band A?

To even think that an average local industry can't get a reasonable loan or grant from government is absurd.

Useless old men in power.

The fact that you still believe Tinubu bought INEC during the last presidential election made your whole analysis unworthy. You even add salt to the injury by saying someone beg Atiku to let Obasanjo leave Lagos for Tinubu.

No good political analyst will say that Tinubu bought Inec with 8m votes as against over 13m votes gathered by PDP members in Atiku, Obi and Kwankwaso.

Atiku biggest mistake was never with OBJ because Obasanjo being a president will still get PDP ticket even withiout his support. His biggest mistake was joining others to removed Jonathan as president. His second mistake was his failure to reconcile with not only Wike but entire G5 and yield to their demand by removing Ayu as PDP chairman.

JagabanBorgu:
It means you are actually complaining because you are not "sorted"?
Lol.
I couldn't stop laughing, so u won't be bothered if u are "sorted"?
These are same people telling us they want a better country, it's all about selfish interests on the long run.

Your post shows we still have some that think differently. That is the same mentality of many Nigerians, once they are sorted, everything that happened to others is non of their business again.

Nigeria can't, and will never move forward with the kind of her citizens.

SmartPolician:
Dey play! Her children are already sorted and can never been seen complaining. She is speaking to people who want genuine change because what we are getting from this administration is far from it.

However, one thing I ask of this beautiful lady is not to let Wike rewrite people's election results in 2027 like he did in Rivers State in 2023 and got away with it. People's electoral choices MUST mean something in this part of the world.

See stupid reasoning, do you think it is only politicians children future that are already sorted and can never conplain? And you keep wondering why everyone will try to steal so much to secure their future and that of their family. If as a rich or politician, you can't fight or sacrifice with everything you have (including letting your children be among the youths to carry out what you preach), I wonder what change you are expecting from the rich who are in position of authority. This kind of mentality is the reason everyone will only come to steal to secure their future and leave the crumbs for the rest to battle with.

You better wise up before they use you to take bullets, while they keep stealing for their next generations to continue controlling you.
