Of what use is N20 to the common man?

paxonel:
Importing sub-standard pms to knock our engines.

How is then that not felt?

You deserve a response but
Let me just reserve my comments

How much is your SSD 8GB. If your price is reasonable, we can deal (if you're in Lagos)

Biodun556:
How does approval means commencement

Bros abeg leave this guy. His brain can not process information beyond it's capacity.

I don't respond to his types.

Peace!

Everyone is entitled to his our own opinion.

We must learn to appreciate someone that is working. If they don't work we complain, and when they work, we say something else just because we hate them. why are people wicked like this.

Wike is one of the stars of this administration and should be commended as such.

Wike is working wonders, anybody that is not happy with what he is doing is entitled to his or her own opinion.

Well done Nyesom Wike, please continue the good works.

I wish every other minister emulates what you are doing and start performing in their own respective ministries.

Peace!

Tho I have not received but similar statements in the past have actually been proven to be true. I'm referring to the grants that were given to some people during covid-19, which they actually thought were dash.

Everyone was busy complaining of lockdown and no money, while some people were actually credited with hundreds of thousands by Buhari government as grants.

We only got to know sometime last year when the monies were deducted from their bank accounts.

Since then, I don't doubt when the government put out this kind of information because I noticed we don't even share beneficial information amongst ourselves in this country

Bottom line is....we don't love ourselves.

vanitybutiwanti:
Mr jealous IPOB, Bridges are the least of what he did in Rivers, stop spouting ignorance everywhere. Tell your preferred governors to pay for media attention too, they have money.

A very good response for a deserving hater. Well done bro

Tbh, I just need an explanation on why some people hate this man!

To me, if you hate Wike, it is either jealousy or the person is born a sadist.

A working minister whose performance has surpassed records of about 34 years of existence in less than 2 years, despite that he's not even from the region.

Abeg give it to Wike, he's a star ⭐.

Jokerman:
Many houses with be up for demolition... This is a great development though...

I wish many states can come up wit these too...

Sacrifices must be made for development. It's not funny though but it's the fact

His followers will think say, the man na better man

😂😂😂The man is good with statistics! 833 nautical miles from Stockholm..like seriously 😳

agulion:
Just watch and see some hungry and angry Yoruba Muslims insult this gentle man for stating the obvious

What is the obvious?

You are on leave and there's an assignment to be carried out. What's the person who's supposed to act in your absence supposed to do? Leave it undone? or what exactly?

Let me not tell you what I think but just add 1+1 and conclude by yourself.

Peace!

I disagree with Soludo on this, completely!

We said let there be distribution of wealth and development down to the grassroots.

Therefore, give them the autonomy to develop their domain and one governor is saying they would not be accountable. Is that the duty of the governor or that of the EFCC and the likes?

In the first place, why must the LG allocation pass through the states.

We are not yet ready for development.

When we are ready, we will start!

Only God knows exactly what we want. The other day people were almost protesting that it is corrupt and callous for NNPC to want to be the sole off-taker of all that is produced by Dangote and people were out there telling me that I was just in support of corruption.

Forgetting that the greed and the tendency to be wicked to ourselves is in our DNA and the government being the sole buyer was a way to checkmate arbitrary price increase. Now, I need a right thinking person to convince me that the fuel we import is cheaper than the one we produced locally!

What happen to the cost of freight, shipping, customs, logistics and everything in-between!

We go get sense by force.

thedio:
I agree with u but putting ban on importation of these products will give Dangote the change to increase price at will. Importation should continue,nobody should stop it except price/competition .

I agree with you. Any attempt to burn importation is an invitation to galloping inflation. We don't want anybody so be the soul producer and join Monopoly. Else, we will wake up one day, sometime very soon, and start buying a liter of petrol for 3,500. At that point, you cannot do an emergency activation of soil importation.
Just my own opinion though.

Hmmm....well, Nigerians! What we want exactly, I don't know. But I know one thing for sure. We have seen the steep rise in prices of all the other products that were not regulated. NNPC said they wanted to be the sole off-taker and people said they're not happy with that arrangement. Well, to me, NNPC buying off this product from Dangote is keeping Dangote in check in a way.

I just hope it will not become another Indomie noodles introduced into the market at N30 and today we know how much we're buying it.

Abegi leave those people o... they'll never learn because they'll never hear.

And the crowds that gathered everywhere went home empty handed


If you desperately wanna know how to use the head of the masses, try read this book "The Prince" by Niccolò Machiavelli



In the end, there are no Saints anywhere. Its always fun to read gullible folks comments under the SM pages of David, Aisha Yesufu , Sarah Ibrahim and other socalled Activists/investigative journalists .


See who those guys look up to

ActiveFarms:
When would Nigerians youths develop strong critical analytical, reasoning and thinking skills. When ? You mean to say once government releases any info, you take it hook, line and sinker without any critical evaluation just because of your ethnocentrism and bigotry. Smh. Shame on your education, a cocoa farm would have yielded better rewards . How can you read financial news without financial stats and proofs and you absorb it hook, line and sinker. Does Nigeria in any way have the means to generate extra One trillion Naira to the national budget let alone 30 Trillion Naira? Use your sense man. You can't keep delegating your education to us


Now to educate you, Ways and Means was converted to bonds, transferring the debt burden to Nigerian youths to bear the burden yet again for so many years in addition to existing loans by converting them to bonds doesn't mean it was repaid


Where and how does Nigeria have the means to repay 30 Trillion Naira overnight. Do you people hate yourselves so badly all because of bigotry. Tueh



Now if the Ways and Means where cleared the first thing to have done was not to take loans but to bring back rationalized subsidy. Meaning subsidize like a quota per day now that we have approximate measurement of the fuel we consume. Subscidize fuel for two years. Use that two years to build twenty modular refineries. Grant small scale refineries setups and have fifty refineries in two years. Then peg the dollar to Naira to 1,000 Naira exchange rate over the two years period using Ways and Means to peg against the exchange rate.


This would instantly drop the prices of things by at least 100%. When we ask you people to support we mentally sound people to places we will make better decisions for you guys, you would refuse. Nigeria only needs sound intellectual management which your leaders lack and followers like you too

It is you, who lack the deep understanding of the economics of the ways and means. Unfortunately, I spent time reading your comments all to discover that you succeeded in nothing but campaign for your candidate. Anyways, let me reserve my comments

Chucks13:
Will you stop these nonsense coming out of your mouth?

When Dapo didn't touch the roads you all complained now he woke up from his sleep and slumbering fixing the bad roads you came up with hunger in the Land, then go and eat grass or eat cardboard.

Abegi! Is it today you know how our people reason? Leave them on... before they start telling you "is he doing it with his personal money? Meanwhile, anything you do, whether good or bad, they must complain.
As for me, anytime I see any politician performing, rather than complain, I cheer them on so they can do better.

lapintoz:
For us Lagosians, we cannot wait for this project to complete. It's going to be a huge relief. Even with the proposed tolling, it's a no trainer.

The Lekki Epe Expressway is the only road network still experiencing traffic gridlocks in Nigeria!

But our brothers (haters) do not, and will never see any good in such a massive investment called infrastructure. I have said it, anybody that is not comfortable with the road, when completed should continue with their Israelites journey through their wilderness.

Even when it's tolled, we will pay...as nothing of value is ever free.

I am not a Lagosian but I can not hate good things just because I don't agree politically with those in power.

And I'll like to know the responsibility of the government of the state in the education sector. This is a sector that has a ministry, allocation, commissioner, permanent secretary and all you can think of and for which the staff are paid on a monthly basis. Then how is their kpi determined?

The fact that community has built schools already stopped the government from building and maintaining even one?

I dikwa serious o.

Ensa777:
Because they have community and missionary schools.
In my community,we have several community schools and missionary built by community and the church so there was no need to build public ones.
Just maintain them and support them .That's all.
We want our children in school.

Nicepoker:
price reduction where? check how much the product is lifted from the refinery.

at least, it will be cheaper than imported fuel

bixton:
Mention any governor past or present and even President that has embarked on the kind of projects that Wike has done and accomplished same within their tenures?

He pays for media that amount because it's the media that will sell the stories. Some admnisrators don't do nothing and they waste money on fake publicity, Wike has not been known to do such and now is not the time.

Even those roads you qualify as LGA roads built by him , also shows us who has done better given their own resources and tenures?

Bro, I don't care what anybody thinks or says. I'm not a tribalist. You see this Wike, I don't need people to like him. We are known for complaining about everything.

Wike alone has done in eight years, what 5 other governors combined has not been able to do in 8 years. And when we talk, they say "is it his personal money?"

Abeg, do their own not get allocation in billions during the same period? What did they do with the billions? Or were they told to not develop their own region?

The same people complaining Wike this, Wike that! Go and check their own region there is absolutely nothing to show.

Abeg I no get strength jor.

Na Monday morning be this!

Abeg

Wike na man aswear

Well, I don't know much about their story and I'm not going to take sides. However, this story hasn't been in the public domain until recently after Reno came out on social media to show praises on the new wife.

I smell envy and bitterness because I'm sure Reno would have been called out if she'd talked long before now.

dinge:
smiles

It's true na....

I've told people this times without number but the entitlement mentality would not allow our people to reason properly!

Believe me, I love this man. He's got the guts. Anybody is free to say anything, I don't care. He talks and stands his ground

Pls you need not exchange words with this guy.

He only wanted to comment but unfortunately, he is blind to the fact. All he could read was 20k but choose to ignore the real information.

Since that is what makes him happy, pls allow him.

I have no time engaging/schooling his type.

Peace.

aguluobi:
It is nothing but how many students can you n your father provide with the 20K

Verydarkhearted:
Your father is ex military?? Bro even if your having issues with your family blood is thicker than water. They will turn up for u do matter what.. this look like a pr stunt to get sympathy from people to patronize your work.

Turn up the volume plls....Omo to sole nu, o so apo iya ko!

No matter how bad you are to your parent, no parent would watch his child languish in prison over an offence he probably didnt commit or bail conditions he could fulfil (even if he had to borrow)

Namdosky:
Funny enough na Dem click go still buy am...the circle continues

I don't care.... provided they do the right thing. Let the best hands get it.

This is obviously a step in the right direction and it is long overdue too. I don't care who buys them, my own is let them function optimally and never have a reason to hold us to ransom by withholding supplies.

Anyway, importation should not stop yet until they are able to prove to us that the competition from the importation would not be necessary.

I seriously doubt the correctness of this information.

I followed this particular news closely when it broke last year.

However, we didn't hear anything again at a point.

Why on earth would price crashing be announced and people were not informed when it was eventually implemented..? Only to come out one year later to say that it was implemented but the dealers took advantage of it. You never reverted back to the same populace you promised that you've done the crashing eventually and see if people would not blow the whistle about the corrupt dealers to your hearing.

We need more than this.
