Racoon:
13 trillion dollars? I mean how Mr Sanwo-Olu? Meanwhile, where are these investments? Even Nigeria's GDP is not even up to $300B. So how did you arrived at this bogus figure?

Even IMF Have told the FG that it proposed 1T investment drive is not feasible given the abysmal rate the Nigerian economy is progressing. So abeg dey lie small small.

I wonder o 🤔
If Nigeria as a whole had $13 trillion in investments over the last 10 years, Nigeria would be 2nd or 3rd largest economy in the world.

Nigerian prophets and their silly Gods.

I always say that a God is as silly as the mind that created it.

Very good one Atiku.
The federal government should lead by example and compel states to do the same.
If all federal government agencies, including the presidency,should buy locally made vehicles, it would add hundreds of billions to the economy, strengthen job creation and strengthen the Naira by saving foreign exchange.
Most importantly, it would set a very strong message that would emulated by the private sector. It would also be a lasting political currency and legacy that the presidency can cash on in future election cycles.

There's a big difference between storage and hoarding. Half-baked graduates everywhere.

No there is not.
You're obviously not a business person and probably never done any business before.
Every merchant hopes to sell products whenever it is most profitable.
If crayfish is cheapest during the rainy season and most expensive during the dry season, a crayfish merchant would be absolute mor.on not to buy low in the rainy season and sell high during the dry season. This is common sense, this is universal, this practice goes all the way back to the very beginning of commerce in the human march of civilization.

TallNigerian:
You are thieves and deserve all the losses and more. God will continue to punish all of you. Greedy merchants and middlemen. Senseless hoarders.

Every part of the bolded statement reeks of enormous greed, selfishness, wickedness and any other name evil assumes.

Mo.ron.
I guess you were sleeping during basic economics and commerce class in junior secondary school.
If there were no middle mean and merchants to stock and store seasonal foods and grains, malnutrition would have killed you long before you were able to articulate your first thought.

Why couldn't he have built a hospital or even a cancer screening center .

What a x.ucking zoo.
Nigeria is really really scary.
No wonder Nigerians prayer so much.
Everyone dreads Nigeria happening to them.

nairalanda1:
Yeah, I am suspicious of the guy, but he was acquitted by a court of law. And that superceeds any suspicions I may have of him.

As much as I oppose female abuse, at the end of the day, the Law has said he is not guilty. I ire the Mayor's desire to stand up for what is right, but the guy was acquitted.

There is a reason why we got courts.

That he was acquited only means that they would not send him to jail for the rest of his life.
His acquital does not in anyway absolve him of the suspicion of being a danger to the public, especially vulnerable young women.

If the courts failed his many victims, then the state officials have the obligation to put a secondary safety net for their young women.

The action was correct and necessary.

DeepSight:


Some are not so bad. Jainism and pure Buddhism for example?

I suspect it's mostly the Abrahamic religions you are despising so much.

Yes, the Abrahamic religions.

Righthussle:
You're telling us the truth just as you told us that the cause of covid 19 was 5G network that was introduced in China.

I just wonder how 21st century humans will spend their precious time listening to someone like you and even give you their hard earned money and think in their minds that they have given their money to the force or being behind the existence of the universe.

Everyday, I find more and more reasons to despise religion. A Poison that eats away the human brain bit by bit.

Not surprising that narcissistic sociopaths like FFK and Reno Omokri, both political jobbers and political runs girls, moonlight as Religious clerics. It goes with narcissistic personalities.
There is something embedded in their psyches.

Smartwave:
I don't understand, the way southeast people reason again? This man spent 8 years as Governor with nothing serious to show.

It's not a South east thing. Sycophants and praise singer are to be found in every nook and cranny of Nigeria.
Again, Stockholm's syndrome is a real thing.

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu Is A Tool God Is Using To Develop Abia North — Rev. Elekwa

Reverend Samson Okoro Elekwa, a respected cleric of the Baptist Church, has hailed Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, describing him as “Abia’s greatest gift from God” and “a divine instrument” through whom God is transforming Abia North Senatorial District.

Speaking to newsmen, the cleric commended Senator Kalu’s impressive strides in rural infrastructure, particularly citing the construction of roads in Ndi Orieke, Ohafia LGA, and Amannagwu, Arochukwu LGA, along with over 80 other roads across the district.

“The road in Ndi Orieke, Ohafia, and the one in Amannagwu, Arochukwu, are just a few among the many life-changing projects Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has brought to our people,” Rev. Elekwa said.
“He didn’t just talk; he acted. These roads have opened up our communities and empowered our farmers, traders, and transporters. For me, this is real empowerment—far better than sharing wrappers or giving out small cash.”

Reverend Elekwa highlighted several other communities that have benefited from Kalu’s leadership, including Atan Abam, Alayi, Ezeukwu, Ndi Inya Abam, Isu, Umuzomgbo, Itumbauzo, Okoko Item, Nneato, Akanu Ohafia, and Abia Ohafia.

“Kalu is not only building roads, he is building hope, restoring pride, and empowering generations. We must acknowledge and protect this legacy,” he added.

Taking a firm stand against those criticizing the senator, the cleric described detractors as “political jobbers and sponsored nonentities.”

“Those attacking Senator Kalu are jobless noise-makers who have never brought a single block to their communities. They are threatened by his success and are trying to distract him. But they will fail,” he stated.

Reverend Elekwa urged the people of Abia North and the entire South East to rally behind Senator Kalu, describing him as a beacon of leadership, vision, and grassroots development.

“The South East needs leaders like Kalu—bold, generous, and development-driven. I urge our people to stand with him and ignore those who only know how to criticize without results,” he concluded.

Apparently, God forgot to use him to develop the entire Abia state when he was governor.
I guess God must have advised him to loot now and develop later.

bookson:
That's called faith - believing God and exalting His word. The word doesn't have to make sense before believing it.

Of course,
common sense is not required to understand religious things.

So , when you build your entire worldview on religious dogma, then your life , as you live it, cannot ever make sense. As a man thinketh, so he lives.
No wonder the most religious nation on Earth, Nigeria,is a basket case.

GRACEGLORY:



. While the tariff strategy aims to address global imbalances and encourage other countries to offer the best deals to the U.S, it also sets the stage for the president to implement the largest tax cuts that he promised the Americans.

I believe Mr. President got a plan.

Again, this is just another irrational excuse to justify the whimsical and dangerous actions of a meglomaniac.

Every single trading relationship the US has with other nations were specifically and deliberately crafted by the US for the benefit of the US.
The US economy is greatest beneficiary of the current global trading arrangement. So it doesn't make sense that they are complaining of unfair trade. US economic power comes from these trade arrangements that makes everything available and cheap for US consumers. This is what every empire in history dreams of and fights to attain. That Donald Trump is trying dismantle the underpinnings of US economic power and dominance is baffling,..unless he is on mission to do just that.

GRACEGLORY:




That's not the case.


Trump is trying to accelerate the impact of the interest rates by using tariffs as a form of pressure. This tactic is to finish what the hike in rates is expected to do, that's why he's pushing the Federal Reserve to lower rates now to prevent a recession from the combined effects. While the tariff strategy aims to address global imbalances and encourage other countries to offer the best deals to the U.S, it also sets the stage for the president to implement the largest tax cuts that he promised the Americans.

Respectfully, this economic illiteracy at its worse.
If you are parroting this nonsense from someone else,pls cease immediately. It makes you look like a slowpoke.
Number 1.
When you destroy $10trillion from the economy in a whim, and then tell yourself you're just trying to prevent a recession? Nonsense.

The federal reserve was already poised to lower interest rates at its next meeting this month. They didn't need to destroy the US economy and drag the entire world just to persuade the fed to reduce interest rates. That's nonsense and comical.
Pls cease and desist from parroting this low IQ nonsense in public.

Reminds me of another dump economic plan by another dumb and clueless president, Buhari.
In one swoop, He sucked out trillions of Naira , federal government money,from the banking sector, and by extension, the entire economy, and deposited them in an with CBN, supposedly to fight corruption in government.
Depriving the economy the necessary engine oil upon it runs on.
Well, we all know the catastrophic results of that dumb move.

Why do nations elect criminals and Mor.ons to lead them?

Trump's tarrifs is like burning your house down because you want to cook some steaks.

mrvitalis:
One thing I have always said is if I ever decide to be governor or president Economics would be made compulsory in all schools from SS1 to university 200 level...

Volume of debt or size of debt is not an issue
Ability to repay is the issue

Someone can owe 2 million and be worse than someone who owe 10 billion

In nigeria the issue we talk about is our revenue to debt servicing is too high..

We need to increase revenue, sadly the only way to do that is to borrow more but use it for what would generate revenue or ability to pay back the loan

So borrowing and using it to build road, bridge, rails, and the reat feel good projects is foolishness... Very big foolishness

And that's what APC have been doing since

But robust economic activities are what generates revenues for the government. In a stagnant economy such as have, government can only generate additional revenues by squeezing the already suffering masses.

Baxilexi:
Agreement is an agreement - such a foolish consistency adored by slaves. I guess we should still submit or commonwealth to the British by this maxim.

If an agreement is detrimental to the people, the constitution, convictions, oath of office and personal contrition. Should it still be honored?

Personally this saga has opened my eyes to the multifaceted nature of our problems.

Nigerians don't want a good society, they just want someone they know to access the treasury, by hook or crook and share. David Cameron couldn’t have said it better- “fantastically corrupt.”

How we are not vexed that people can boldly speak of putting others in office, like we run an oligarchy or monarchy is bemusing. Instead we vilify the unwilling or repentant subject for turning a new leaf.

Even the 3 wisemen in the Bible didn’t honor their promises to Herod because of his inimical intent. So what do we actually pray for concerning Nigeria as Christians and Muslims? To change whose heart?

Just the other day in Lagos, a group of men voiced their position beyond the veil as being the grundnorm of authority in the Lagos assembly and no one sees the inanity in their statement.
Same in kogi, an ex-governor uses the current governor as a vassal and no one sees anything wrong with it.
And now port harcourt.

This is sad.

We lack norms, we lack values, we lack integrity.

Think for a minute, if Wike’s angst is for better schools, hospitals, jobs, welfare of his constituents or personal gains.

Thanks a million.
I cannot fathom why Ordinary Nigerians not only tolerate,but celebrate obnoxious behavior from their sociopathic leaders.

Nigerian suffer from acute Stockholm's syndrome, after years and decades of being rap.ed and pillaged by the political elites.
No hope for this country.

Basic123:

You are not logical.
Stop attaching emotions to everything.
Have you asked if there is any legal reason why the land should be revoked?

Anytime a party in power uses its power to intimidate the opposition party, there could be no legitimate reasons for doing so.
It is a sad day for Nigeria's Democracy.

Earthquakes:
Nigeria is a comedy scene
If you live and die in Nigeria without travelling abroad to see sanity.
You will think Nigeria is a country

Well said.

In the hands of the Stupid, we are all doomed.

Jagabanbattle:
Trump has no chill.

Economically, Canada will succumb to the 51st state request. As long as Trump through congress extend his term, case closed.

As the world stands now, the USA needs to extend territory. That’s why Donald Trump first defund all organizations that can challenge actions (U.N, WHO and others). Militarily, USA now own Gaza as Trump plans to deploy their military there to clear everything including Gazans out.

Greenland will be taken from Denmark as price for USA protection of Europe and if Europe still needs protection, the USA needs Greenland.

Also, USA needs Ukraine. That’s why Trump ask Zelenskyy to sign mineral deals without guarantee. What’s the purpose of owning a land without authority to mine your mineral. As long as Zelenskyy accepts the deal, that land become of interest to USA and they will put boot on ground to Safe it.

Spoken like a simpleton

Sirmwill:
If they are not seeing cryptocurrency being utilized for bribery and stealing of public funds in the government, then they are dullards

Indeed, my friend.
Illegal arms, drugs, rice or whatever would definitely have to be paid for in one form or another.
How such large shipments of hardware are shipped and smuggled in Nigeria should be the focus of DSS and EFCC, assuming, of course, that these agencies are genuinely focused on anything.

AMINDA:


You mistake me for one of your fellow areaboys. Who reinstated Obasa?

Meanwhile...

APC er: Obasa is very corrupt, so the House of Assembly has impeached him. Guns were even found in Obasa's CSO's office by the DSS.

APC Leaders: Meranda must resign so that Obasa can return.

APC er: ''Jagaban has settled it. He's a political strategist''

Animal Farm!

Animal farm indeed.

People who read to learn will buy and read it. It offers a lot of insight into the past which can help you understand where things are headed based on the present. We’re all learning. If you don’t read, wisdom is farther away from you

I disagree.
The book sheds No new light on any relevant issue in Nigerian history.
The book is 32 years too late.
This is just about a poor man, a poor spirit trying once again to con all of us for his attemp at redemption.
What IBB forgot is that true redemption cometh from within. And obviously from the tone of the book and his self-adulation , he IBB had not learned anything at all , and would thus still die accursed.

It reinforces the fact that at the end of the day, the poor masses are on their own, and would always remain on their own.
Only stupidity make the poor masses fight for the rapacious political elites.

CodeTemplar:
No wonder Nigeria is in perpetual reverse. Did the soothsayer tell you it will happen by injustice? That means beelzabuub runs things. Idiotic lots.

Idiotic lots indeed.
I wonder why the soothsayer forgot to predict that these kleptomaniacs would destroy Nigeria.

Stop talking

Since FG acted on Binance dollar manipulating in Nigeria, Naira has been gaining strength.

Is it only Nigeria Binance was banned or have issue with the government country?

Why should we be using crypto rate as dollar rate in Nigeria?

Annoyingly, those who have no idea about the extent of Binance manipulation would come on this thread to defend him. Annoyingly

Modified: It's important for Nigerians to have a clue about the basis of Binance trouble in Nigeria.

So Binance and some crooks in Nigeria, colluded together to be placing fake orders on Binance which will required dollars settlement. The crooks would use the receipt of the placed orders to exchange naira to dollar at a very discounted price as the amount is huge.

Eventually, the orders are not existing, the demanded dollars are meant to be laundered outside Nigeria most especially other African countries and sell at high price.

It got to the extent that there was too much demand on dollar which made the suspicion.

Now , how many years have Binance been manipulating naira-dollar rate in Nigeria? That some people said Binance left a year ago while the dollar is still around N1500. So you expect years of manipulating to be vanished within a year?

This is nonsense, and you know it.
I can agree that crooks in Nigeria ( and there are millions of them) were using Binance for currency arbitrage. They saw opportunities for quick profit and they used it to their advantage. Looking for loopholes in the system and taking advantage is what every Nigerian does, from top to bottom.
However, claiming that Binance itself was complicit is absurd. Binance is crypto currency platform where crypto currencies are bought and sold.
Nigerian bankers and firms have been know in the past , even sanctioned for manipulating stocks for their benefits. Has the Nigerian stock exchange been banned or closed for the actions of rogue players?

I believe everything, every single thing that this man is saying simply because we all know that Nigeria and Nigerian politicians, and the Nigerian judiciary are thoroughly corrupt.

SalamRushdie:
We told y'all they will all fall in line ..nobody know the art of dealing like Trump...China is next to fold

Nonsense.
Trump caved in.
The leaders of Canada and Mexico just assisted Trump to save face.

The proposals from Mexico and Canada today were already on the table and agreed upon since last year.
