All your examples pointed to one thing: INFLATION. Now steps are being taken and the dollar has lost over 900 naira. The prices of goods have not dropped concomitantly. Is that not an indication that the price spike itself was artificial? Even people who don't know what dollar looks like blame the dollars.

Right now, steps are being taken to cushion the effects of the artificial inflation. You attack every effort made. Wicked ers of certain candidates are fighting tooth and nail asking hoarders to continue to hoard their dollars with a view that the naira would crash. If you study their antics, they want to punish Tinubu to prove that their candidate is better. If these people say these things in developed countries, the states would take them out.

As for the price of dollars before the currency was floated, everyone old enough knows that the price of dollars was heavily subsidized from the PDP days. It was the wealthy who enjoyed such subsidy as they could travel cheaply, buy properties abroad and import foreign prostitutes, especially from India. Now that the currency was floated, the poor are crying. Even if the dollar is subsidized again, it is naive for the poor to think it would benefit them.

The other aspect you raised is poverty capital of the world. Why do you people buy this narrative? What metrics did they use to reach the conclusion? The research itself is flawed.

You can blame aspects of price hike on insecurity. That insecurity started under PDP with Boko Haram. It eventually led to banditry, kidnapping and ethnic fighting over land. This led to severe lack of production. Then we also had lack of proper transportation from agricultural hubs to urban centers. My hope is that we use more cargo planes to transport agricultural produce while we work on the railway.

Instead of complaining and shifting blames, make reasonable suggestions to help those who run the state. From my small corner, I have made contributions and some have been implemented. Some dimwitted nitwits accuse me of being paid or ing APC. They can't argue beyond that.

Thank you for the time you put in educate some of these people.

Johnjustice:

What is bad in defending the nation and it's currency?

Is the wealth not for Nigerians, what is bad in using it to avoid mass hunger and chaos?

You saboteurs and haters of Nigeria don't seem to amaze me with how myopic your mind works.

That is the wickedness in the hearts of some of this people that one can't explain.

Lizzysamuel:


Shut up oo.

Nobody takes anyone that ed Buhari and his policies for 8 years serious.

You guys can continue in your sychophancy.

Real Nigerians will always counter your propaganda and lies. If you like cry

Present contradictory data or shut up o! Not empty Nairaland analysis that you and your ilks litter this platform with that bares no relevance on reality! Real Nigerian? You? LizzySamuel? Lol

It wasn't propaganda when the dollar was spiking which "Real" Nigerians like you rallied everyday to gloat over. Now there is a resurgence of the Naira and you want us all to come drink from your "propaganda" bile. Not everyone is lost and bitter you know!

It is never your place to legislate who anyone chooses to as a candidate be it Buhari or Tinubu or anyone else because you believe a man who made Anambra poorsible is the next best thing after slice bread.

Available9:
you are right, that is what the book says, but in reality, no one deposits anything...the issue of paying anything comes in when the surety cannot produce the defendant...this is my field

How do you explain Abari forfeiting 100Miilion when Nnamdi KANU jumped bail if he didn't pay anything before KANU eloped

immortalcrown:
You have not pointed out any falsehood in my comment. So, you obviously hate the truth.

That's if you read my submission without the childish lenses on Mr. Your definition of "truth" is that nobody should glory in anything because you say so and I told you to go chide Bloomberg for celebrating the Naira appreciation feat.

When the Naira depreciated you and your ilks rallied everyday to celebrate. Now there is a decline in that trajectory and you want to still make us believe the government has no hand in it and nobody should celebrate nothing!!

This your cruise don sour Mr Dollar VAR!

immortalcrown:
Naira gaining value against Dollar is good for Nigeria as a country. But it is not a good achievement by APC. Know the difference. How can it be considered a good achievement by the APC that took Naira from 216 per Dollar to whatever Naira is per Dollar now?

APC said ₦216 per Dollar was too much. Therefore, no APC government is good unless the regime takes Naira below 260 per Dollar without taking the nation's foreign reserve below what the reserve was during the time of PDP.

Praising the government when Naira is 216 per Dollar means praising stagnancy.

Praising the government when Naira is above 216 per Dollar means praising backwardness.

Call me anything you like.

You can be so childish you know...all this pontificating on Nairaland doesn't change nothing. APC government this APC government that...go chide Bloomberg that praised Naira appreciation as a monumental feat under this government. Even cruise sef dey sour abeg!!

Cantonese:
OP, spraying of naira or whatever currency is centuries old. It is part of our culture or society. Dem born us meet am. Dem born our papa papa meet am. It did not find its origin in the 1980. Please make a proper research.

And if what you are insinuating is that because it is "culture" then we should continue on that path, know that there's a "new" culture in town-don't mess our Naira up! We all can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result abeg! Ignorance is ill-bliss

God1000:
This was a message, not an attack, they knew most of the drones will be intercepted


Iran has been saying it for two weeks that they would retaliate, they also informed turkey 72 hours before the attack, turkey is a NATO country

If their intention was to cause maximum damage, they would have launched a surprise attack without informing anybody using hypersonic and ballistic missiles which are much more deadlier and they travel faster than cruise missiles and drones.


By broadcasting everything, it gave USA, Israel and allies ample of time to get their fighter jets into the air to intercept those missiles

Israel will never inform you if they want to strike, the reason most of their attacks are always successful


The message is look, we are not afraid of you and we can hit you as well

1. That somehow you believe that Israel became a sleeping duck after hitting at the terrorist beside the Iranian Embassy is befuddling I must say. That you believe that Israel didn't see this coming is amusing.

2. Iran has gone down this road before and still does the same thing which is insanity. Need I remind you that they did this same thing when Trump ordered the elimination of Soleimani. They rained missiles at a military base taking out who? You will expect a tit for tat thing but NO! If I will take key targets in your government and terrorists and all you will do EVERYTIME is fire a barrage of missiles without any purpose intended with significantly limited casualties on my ends. I will do that again and again. What was the casualty on the Israeli side? High ranking military official? Who?

3. Would this stop Israel from nit-picking those Hamas terrorists wherever they are? Your guess is as good as mine!

Optimism drives no nation to growth.

And if your perennial pessimism makes you sleep better...please enjoy! For @ burp18 and the rest of us we CHOOSE optimism any day and time!!

Nigeria will work and work it will for us all!!

#Optimistic #Period

Haven't we been down this road before? I mean when Trump ordered that strike that took out Soleimani, which is exactly akin to what Israel did. What did Iran do? The EXACT same thing...I would expect a tit for tat or more not just some barrage of cheap drones and missiles without nobody of significance killed or hurt and you say Iran won? Hmm

Then maybe Israel should take out Khomeini and expect Iran to empty their armoury on them, without no one as a target but let's shoot so many at them at least it will hit or even kill something even if it's a sleeping horse. Hmm

Does this bring the Israel-Hamas conflict to a halt? I don't think so! Will Israel stop eliminating Hamas officials and their families? I don't think so! Israel's response to this questions will determine the trend of this conflict.

OUR MONOPOLY PROBLEM... one dey one day, he go be HISTORY.

You can keep littering this platform with all the Monopoly talk about Dangote nobody cares or even buys it!

This person captured my thought

nairalanda1:


Dangote is not running a monopoly anywhere.

CEMEMENT: BUA, lafarge, Ibeto, etc dey.

Noodles: he got out of that business...and even when he was there, Indomie was the nationwide leader.

Spaghetti: Golden Penny and co were beating his ass

Refineries: There are 4 other private refineries, plus BUA is building his own mega refinery. The reason why there aren't more is susbsidy which makes donestic refining unprofitable. (Ironically subsidy makes importing fuel more profitable...which is why it has to go).

Tomato....lol.

Car: Innoson cars are more than Dangote Peugeouts.

Jeezuzpick:


We're saying the same thing.

If there's approval, we would've heard all kinds of noise by now.

Yes o bro! This what this socialmedia defenders want us to believe when nobody is suing. Nobody approved nothing cos if they did they will have been making noise by now like you said.

nosa2ekundayo:


Between your lines, I could tell things are very difficult for you right now!

If you know the content/context/scope of the word "approval" especially the one from a legally constitutionalised arm of a state, u won't be talking shiit.

Nosa since you didn't answer my sanity check question, I assumed well this one is sane and wouldnt go build on third mainiland bridge just cos it was "approved" for him but with this your response, hmm, I have a HUGE source of concern for you. How will an adult be "reading lines"? Stop imagining things Son, not everybody is as unfortunate as you are!

nosa2ekundayo:


You sound like a product of an extremely failed state right at the bolded!

In a sane clime,the govt will even extend basic amenities closest to your property before approval is granted. then one can go ahead with building. .. whatever challenges comes post approval ,becomes their sole responsibility to deal with or relocate you somewhere safer.

If there was approval, I would say he did no wrong!

In your haste to sound "educated" you came off empty. What hooey! Speak within the context of discussion and stop imagining things. He built a house blocking a canal and that's insane, Mr sane clime gibberish!

Answer this simple sanity check question: Will you go ahead and build in the path of a canal just cos it was "approved" for you?

Interesting how Insane fellas want a sane system.

Atleast you are not willing to wager that it was approved from your last line, so what's the fuss?

Zilka:
The people who approved the he plan the first place have a question to answer

So you will take your hard earned money and act like the person who built that house because it was "approved" for you right? Nigerians sef! U blind? Is it the person that "approved" it that is going to live there with the inherent risk of flooding?

In any case I will tell you for free, nobody approved anything and the only question to answer is when is this building going down?

Racoon:
Reno Omokri and Igbo matters is like he is under a spell. The tribalism thing is an innate thing in every tribe or ethnic national. Was Reno no aware of the open manifestation of this same problem during the last election?

Stop the hypocrisy! This is not "igbo matter" as you are wont to paint it in your usual manner but about reciprocity! Simple do me, I do you! And hey the Igbos are not the only tribe in Lagos but if out of the magnanimous egalitarianism the igbos are allowed to occupy certain positions and absolved in the Lagos state civil service, it is only fair that some semblance of reciprocity should suffice from the East. And if you are talking about elections the facts speak for themselves and yes, the elections changed the usual dynamics. Wake up to the reality and stop expecting what you won't give! Ogun state and other states will follow suit and everybody will be fine!

Dafresh:

You're a big liar can you swear that those lands wasn't approved

Can you also swear that it was approved? If it was approved how come not one of the people with multimillion naira buildings is suing abi na so dem get money to throway? Don't let blind emotion mislead you! They dont have papers and they know it. Nigerians and anyhowness

Milito:
One of the major problems in Nigeria is the mindset that we can bribe our way out of any situation.

People deliberately go on a wrong path and afterwards try to use emotional blackmail or bribes.

There's no way if a proper search was done on those lands that it will not reveal that the place is under govt acquisition.

Whatever survey you are given for a land to be bought, abeg, carry am go lands bureau for verification or consult a land lawyer to do proper checks for a small amount of money. As at the time these lands were bought, i doubt it will cost above 50k to give a lawyer to do all the findings on the land.

People know these things actually. But they just form smart and settle some people believing money sorts out all issues. And that is why Nigeria is like this!

You've said it all! In Nigeria you seem to be a "mumu" when you do the right thing until when nemesis catches up with them then the emotional and tribal mudslinging starts. Interestingly, not ONE is threatening to sue because they are all neighbours in crime and there's someone somewhere in Nigeria now about to do this same nonsense in the name of "smart".

YorubaDemonswag:



You wey go atikulate by 2027,no be you people again?

E get right to campign and vote for whoever he like abi?

Beremx:
yes! Abia state has suffered bad governance from PDP since 1999. Why shouldn't they celebrate good governance now they have seen one?

You are right about the bad governance but wrong about equating Water fountain to good governance, haba Beremx? No now!! Wetin Abia people do you?

Beremx:
they celebrated Julius Berger coming to the state and not the sign post. Don't tell me threads to comment on!! What nonsense

Abia state = Ajegunle
Beremx 2023 (c)
Ahn ahn naso Abia bad reach? No now.

Beremx:
Build a water fountain at Ikotun or Ajegunle and see whether the people living around there wouldn't celebrate.
How many people in Nigeria have actually seen a fountain before? How many is located in Nigeria?

You should have just stayed off this thread, this your comparison no follow! Should we remind you that it is this same state that celebrated Julis Berger Road Construction Sign Post?

Politicstoday:
big companies their products on Twitter? So where’s the loss here.

Lol so because "big companies" on Twitter that means there's no revenue loss?
Read: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-66217641

Politicstoday:
how many big companies leave Twitter? Twitter is still the largest platform to your products. Elon musk is working round the clock to improve on revenue bases of his app. He’s even given out more funds to some consistent and active Twitter s every month.

I stopped reading your piece when you said "Twitter is still the largest platform to your products"...where? How? Why are you sounding like some pseudo twitter PR personel on nairaland. Abeg don't make me laugh

Politicstoday:
Upon that thread can’t be popular as Twitter (X). I so much love Elon musk and his creativity . Up till today, Twitter is one of the finest app in the world cos’ Elon musk brought great features on the app. It’s good to work with great thinkers . Elon musk is top notch in that.

Functionality Maybe😒 | Profitability Hmm🤔 Elon musk is posting losses back to back since takeover and if big companies (who obviously are the rs) continue to leave your platform, hmm $8 subscriptions won't save X!

ayomilore:
But Tinubu looked sickly before the election now, where did he suddenly get this strength to be transversing the globe?

He never was! He kept playing to the gallery to deceive the gullible and it worked cos every of his move was scrutinised and so he becamie the centre of attention! He has mastered that art and used it all the way to the supreme court rulings!! He had no opposition cos the opposition were his biggest advantage! You oppose him, he wins. You don't, you lose!

Simply put; 48 laws of power games!

Oloki:
To what end? Is he going to collect the award from the current holder?

ofcourse he will! Records are meant to be broken and pending confirmation he just might have done that!

Thundafireseun:




If you sincerely check the ratio of most crashed marriages you will see that they sincerely spent little or no money to get married in the 1st place

No empirically verifiable stats to back your assumption but you somehow you just want us to swallow it hook, line and sinker. Wow granpa we ain't buying it because you "sincerely checked". Nope thats not how the way the world works. Nope! Happy Sunday!

Thundafireseun:
I'm already guessing that marriages in this African countries are quite cheap.....

If you spend your hard earned money like the igbo man does just to get a wife divorce will be the last thing on your mind

The western world still has the highest rates of divorce and one of the contributing factor is that it’s quite easy and cheap to get married

Although divorce is quite expensive buh they don’t care

If divorce is quite expensive and yet it is commomplace in the western world, what makes you think it is how expensive the marriage is that will make their divorcr rate low? Expenses or not, a marriage wey go crash go crash...Psquare twins is a good example!
