specialmati:
so the agbero chairman won't make 1$ 1 naira again you try

Agbero chairman is Market forces.

You can call it any name in your dialect, but the bottom line is that the economic laws of demand and supply ,now determine exchange rate rather than CBN borrowing $Billion to artificially defend the exchange rate.

specialmati:
so the agbero chairman you guys smuggled into asorock is no longer the master planner,the builder of Lagos State from the sea,the first class economics from oluwale uni.so he won't make 1 dollar 1 naira again.but can make 1 dollar 1600.how you set of people reasons should be a case study

Demand and supply,now determine the exchange rates,not the President.


Economics don't respond to all these insults,curses and abused.

Tinubu is implementing the right but ,may be unpopular reforms.

ivandragon:



Thank you.

Those who condemned N215:$1 are suddenly excusing N1600:$1.

Bat is both incompetent and greedy, a nasty combination. He does not understand the basics of socio-economic growth and his policies are designed to satisfy selfish interests which is why despite all the so called 'positive'reforms, Nigeria keeps sinking.

You didn't talk about anything economic, just insults and politics

Zionmdde:

All you guys do is to call youths lazy.
Youths weren't lazy when tinubu led apc were asking Nigerians if $1 to N215 was OK?

You sound naive sha but I won't delve in much.
1st exchange rate won't have gotten to 1600 had tinubu shut his mouth on the handover day, assemble his economic team, sustained subsidy payment while ing dangote to fast track commencement of production. Once dangote refinery starts, remove subsidy. With that, dollar wouldn't have exceeded 500

Secondly, there is so much corruption that have led to abandoned projects that single handedly could have projected Nigeria's economy
Go to brass, go to ajaokuta, go to ikot abasi and see how trillions of naira investment were abandoned. There are lots of things Nigeria has no business importing, so you guys should stop calling people lazy.

How do you sustain subsidy?


1) No international creditors were willing to continue to loan Nigeria $Billions to pay for unsustainable subsidy


2) If Tinubu didn't announce removal of subsidy and continued paying MARKETERS, it would be difficult to stop because so many vested interests that benefited from the scam ,in and out of Nigeria would make it impossible to stop through massive sabotage


3) There was no provision in the budget for subsudy.


Exchange rates are now determined by demand and supply, if you continue to demand for dollars to import everything without exporting much to earn dollars, Naira would continue to be weak

Mbanda:
What is tinubu doing in his own part? Don't you think he supposed to create an enabling environment he promised first before other things can set in.

Part of the enabling environment;


1) Reforms in the Down steam sector: removal of subsidy ,allow private investors build refineries and sell at prices that pay them

2) Unification of exchange rates and removal of subsidy on the exchange rates - Stability of the exchange rates: this boost investors' confidence in the economy

3) CNG policy: Rather than establishing Ibom Airline or building multi- Billion Naira church, A/Ibom (and other oil producing States )supposed to tap into this policy by building giant conversion plants and industries that manufacture CNG cylinder and conversion kit.

4) Lagos-Calabar Coastal road, Ondo ,Delta and Bayelsa States ought to have started processes of linking their economies to Lagos e.g massive investment in Fish production and storage, along their coast to supply over 20 million people in Lagos

Raf4:
Either knowingly or unknowingly, consciously or unconsciously, El-Rufai is working for Tinubu.

He is working for himself against 2031, by positioning himself as the new defender of Northern interests/New Buhari

Arostar2023:


Have you considered the effects and impact of the woman's utterances on Davido's family and other people that had inter tribal marriages? If someone as highly placed and supposedly educated as that woman can make such insensitive utterances in a highly polarized nation like Nigeria....that says a lot.

Whatever impacts, Davido and his family experience is their cup of tea.


1) The woman did NOT go to Davido's page to write anything

2) The woman never said anything negative about any tribe. When has it become a crime to public express preferences for Yoruba spouses in Nigeria?


3) In the bible, God specifically told children of Israel, not to marry from certain nations, the Glorious Quran also mandate Muslims, not to marry certain peoples.


4) Marriage on it's own has tensions and marrying people that don't share your cultural views or whose interests are directly opposed to yours is likely to bring disharmony. This is the reasons, Igbos and Fulanis, Southern Kaduna & Fulani, Hausa-Ijaw don't inter-marry much.

Bendeco02:
Both the woman and the Igbo guys that replied her are just petty.

Why all these unnecesary tribal fight?

You want all your children to marry yoruba, and so who asked you?. Why not keep it to yourself instead of generating division and trouble with it

The ones replying her are jobless as well

When hasn't become a crime for Yoruba to express their desires for Yoruba spouses publicly?

This is the critical issue - The attempts by over zealous Igbo ,especially in the Obidients Movement, to silence or denigrate anything Yoruba.

This should be resisted and those bullying her be arrested and charged to court.

bigpicture001:
The lecturer called for what is happening to her... Sh knows the trend if the Davido topic is about a fan frowning at davido for marrying and association with igbos... So davido shut the fan up by saying he is Igbo by blood..

Now this woman reed the argument and now claim it's an innocent statement.. see, u dnt go to the north and do religious argument in the public garage.. if u are christian except u want to die...

Sh know the atmosphere is already tensed and waded in in condemnation big davido... ND still expecting those ing davido to keep quiet .. abeg sh deserve and called for what sh got

1) The lecturer, never reed anything

2) She has a right to write anything on her FACEBOOK page
3) Making sure her children marry from her tribe is NOT an attack on Igbo

4) Anyone bullying her and threatening her should be arrested

5) Conservative Yoruba organisations should step up campaigns to protect Yoruba interests ,including long term cultural interests.

franchasng:



una just like forming saint after causing trouble, na wa oh, na only una de Nigeria self? Lol


Read this:

The controversy began on Wednesday, May 21, when Dr. Olarinmoye reacted to Afrobeat singer Davido’s comments about his Igbo ancestry by writing on her Facebook page: "I would ensure my kids marry Yoruba."


Out of the 371 tribes you claim are in Nigeria, Davido said he came from the Igbo tribe as his mother happens to come from Anambra state and that was when the razz lecturer ed that her children must marry only Yoruba, what does that mean? It's a direct attack on the tribe Davido identified with, stop pretending or twisting facts.


You know why she said that but as usual, you guys are very good at pretence and treachery.



And listen, she making sure her children marry only Yoruba is her choice but coming online on a post where a famous music star identified with his mother's tribe to say such thing makes that woman a very despicable human being, it was an obvious attack on Igbo tribe Davido identified with, so whatever criticisms she got she fully deserved it

How does making sure her children marrying from her tribe equalled to attack on Igbos.

Marriage should be bases on mutual interests and if the interests of both parties are opposite, then it is better to avoid each than entering into potential marital and by extension cultural chaos.

helinues:
Na petty issue. Let the matter rest

No, it is not a petty issue.

It is a recurrent phenomenon that should be dealt with now before it snowball to greater ethnic conflagration.

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD

Dalohad:


Mr Alagbado, Rasaq's pic is right there. He is a human being. He is also on Facebook.

One British man, observed that some of we Yorubas love to tell ourselves lies, even in the face of truth, just to play empty politics.

We know the truth, but we will pretend and say 'black is white' and say it convincingly just to promote a certain agenda..
It is terrible. Change..

Leave Yoruba, out of your problems for now.

Face whoever is facing you and let Yoruba be

Oga, park well.

We are tired of all these threats. Anything that want to happen should happen jare.

DMerciful:
The rationale behind it is that an Aboki owns the refinery and can employ his people. Go look for Yoruba companies!

I am really surprised that some people think these guys are employees of Dangote Refinery.

These are mere labourers, engaged by CONTRACTORS who are executing projects for the company.


During the construction of the numerous Jakande Estates all over Lagos State , LASG engaged thousands of Youths from the North plus numerous local boys that worked as labourers.

Even down south, whenever people want to do menial jobs like digging graves, soak away pits or gutters, they would say 'go to Sabo and call the Aboki people'

truthera:
When it comes to Nnamdi Kanu then it is easy to manufacture 1000 reasons why he should be jailed or punished.

Nothing stops the current government from ending this shameful trial now as everything is in the hands of the prosecuting team (FG). Tinubu and those in his kitchen cabinet knows that when it comes to Nigeria's terrorism crisis, Nnamdi Kanu is not the country's problem. The whole world is watching, it will be a clear injustice to convict Kanu to prison or death while the real perpetrators of terrorism and their enablers like Buhari continues to enjoy his freedom and the government continue to free "repentant" Boko Haram fighters. Let's see how this trial will end.

The case will continue to it's logical conclusion.

David Hundeyin is Blogger, NOT a journalist let alone be an 'International investigative journalist'

Igirigimercenar:
Give it to tinubu. He has made sure everything works out according to his dictate.

They should just allow him see out his remaining years in power. Buhari should be blamed in all of this, you know how greedy and corrupt tinubu is yet because of your indifference to your party activities, you allowed a dictator from Lagos to corner the rest of the country to his pocket

How else do you explain the fate of the opposition parties in Nigeria today. It's bizarre

But let it be on record that a precedent has been set by a Yoruba president. I just hope when another person from another tribe takes the mantle,I don't want to see those fake pastors and fake professors from the south west speak again.

Confront your problems and solve them, instead of looking for who to blames.


I guess you were in primary school in 2002 when Ex-President Obasanjo entered into a fake accord with AD, with the false assurance that AD Govs should campaign and his 2003 election while the PDP would not field any gubernatorial candidates against them but Obasanjo reneged on this arrangement, which liquidated 5 AD Governors and Obasanjo attempted to take over the AD ,using Sen Mojisoluwa Akinfewa Faction.

After protacted court cases, the Akande-led Faction f the AD resigned from the party and moved en mass to form AC

About half of the people in Lagos have no business being in Lagos. They would be better off if they relocate to their States and take advantages of the opportunities there e.g food production.

However, one of the most urgent needs ,Nigerians need is the end to Fulani killer Herdsmen.

truthera:
Is Buhari, Niger Delta militants, Boko Har fighters, Sheikh Gumi and others above the law?

What aboutism have no play in court cases.

The best options for you and other ers of Nnamdi Kanu are;

1) Get great lawyers to represent and defend him.

2) If convicted, get a great team to lobby for political solution e.g Presidential pardon

oskopy:
An Igbo cannot kill his brother this awful manner.yorubas will start shouting ipob, just to hype their masters that have been terrorizing Nigeria. One thing I know, is that Igbo man cannot run away from his anssestral home land

This happened in Okigwe, Imo State , please leave Yorubas out of your problems.

truthera:
It is a shame that many Nigerians are yet let go of tribal bias and hateful sentiments even in the midst of wideapread hunger, insecurity and bad governance. I've observed how so many s of this platform especially those that are of Yoruba descent were quick to attack and condemn Nnamdi Kanu to death in the thread title Terrorism: Nnamdi Kanu Confirmed He Ordered Tinubu, Wike To Be Killed – DSS while the real instigators of terrorism and violence all over Nigeria are roaming free and been celebrated. One person in the list of chief instigators of violence that should come to mind is Buhari. I made a post recently titled Why Nigeria Must Jail Buhari Before Nnamdi Kanu on this platform in which I shared details on how Buhari in the lead up to the 2011 election incited a bloody violence that killed many Nigerians and since then till now, Buhari has never been invited by DSS, detained or made to answer in court for his role. If Buhari can walk free in the aftermath of such a bloody event, why should Nnamdi Kanu's case be different?

Apart from Buhari, there have been several armed groups and political figures that have over the past few years been granted amnesty or pardoned like in the case of Boko Haram fighters who were directly responsible for several mass killings and destruction in the northern part of the country. It is not surprising to me that since I made that post, it has not gotten the massive condemnation or calls to arrest Buhari from s as the thread made against Nnamdi Kanu on this platform.

Sadly, the biased and hateful sentiments towards Nnamdi Kanu is not only prevalent on this platform but it is also been weaponized by malicious political agents offline to fuel the divisive tribal propaganda that has continued to keep Nigerians divided and distracted from the bad policies of the government. Why must Kanu be sentenced to jail when others have done far worse and are free? An unjust sentence will only exacerbate the unrest with in the country while the real sponsors and ers of terrorism remains emboldened to continue their killing spree. If Nigeria must jail Kanu then Buhari (Fake one or real one) needs to be arrested for the violence he orchestrated that led to the killing of Nigerians. El Rufai, his sons, Niger Delta ex militants, "repentant" Boko Haram/ISWAP fighters, controversial muslim leaders like Sheikh Ahmad Gumi and any other notable religious/political figures that have ed or sponsored violence directly or indirectly within the last few years must also be detained, they must also face trial.... If the government fails to uphold justice by not prosecuting these people then it means Nnamdi Kanu's trial is nothing but a political witch-hunt, a testament of the injustice towards the Igbo people and a validation of his call for the igbos to leave Nigeria.

If this unjust trial is allowed to continued, it will only serve as a catalyst that will lead to the eventual disintegration of the country....

The trial must continue.

Nnamdi Kanu is NOT above the law.

You too will soon know the koko by time the hand of law lay on your body. Agbaya sleeping with small children.

The guy is 18yrs and the ladies he slept with aren't small children, some are even older than him.

mrvitalis:

Oga I even want Peter Obi to step aside

Why?

Atiku, Peter Obi, Sowore and others are contributing to the entrenchment of democracy in Nigeria , irrespective of whether they become president or not.

While serving in the North, I met a young lady from Delta State, whom I wanted to ask out.

She explained to me that, she just lost her BF, before coming for service but that his ghost still visited her. I was dumbfounded.

Threedoorsdown:
A one party nation isn't good for any country

This is what this man wants. Turned all his opponents to slaves either by force or persuasion

You guys would realize the effects sooner than later

As the election draw nearer, there would be alignment and re-alignment of political forces but there can NOT be one party in a large heterogeneous country like Nigeria with competing and contrasting interests, which can't be accommodated in one party.

Chidinma Adetshina was born and brought up in Southafrica. How was she treated last time?

How is this related to question asked?

We're not even talking about outsiders becoming Nigerians right now, we're talking about Nigerians being allow to be citizens where ever they're found.

Nigerians are already citizens by the constitution.


Please explain, how you plan to IMPLEMENT this indigeneship law.

DMerciful:
Irish have Ireland, English have England! UK is a lose confederation.

Yoruba needs Yoruba nation for exclusivity. As long as you're in a country,
all citizens have equal right to vote and be voted for anywhere in Nigeria

I never said all citizens don't have rights but they aren't the same as indigenes.

Benjamin Kalu's Bill try aim at 'making non-indigenes to become indigenes'


This is very laughable.


Suppose ,Ikemefuna and Umar Aldo who have lived in

Benue State since 2010, without becoming Tiv or Idoma, want to become indigenes of Benue State, who will confer indigenship on them?

1) President

2) Governor of Benue State

3) Local Government chairman of their place of residence

4) Traditional Rulers of the towns they live in

5) Benjamin Kalu

Indigenship ,just as love or unity can NOT be created by legislation.

Nefort:

Granting political rights to people who have resided in particular state for some years doesn't in any way translate to ethnic cleansing or genocide. Those examples you mentioned are something entirely different from the subject matter.

The constitution of Nigeria already grant citizenship rights to ALL Nigerians.

You only need to be citizens to run for elections.


However, indigenship of a town or kingdom is by ancestries and cultural identities.

If you want to become indigene of Ilesha, you become an Ilesha person by adoption of their language, culture and ways of life.

You can NOT retain your ethnic identity and still want to be regarded as indigenes of other peoples ancestral homelands. This is fraudulent.
