If the Nigerian government knew how much we are losing to this Kanụ case, they would have just released him, granting him the referendum he seeks. What's difficult in doing this?

Ndimkpurummiri:
what is the justice for the Policemen he sent his boys to kill?

Today, I have the time to respond to this reckless statement you've been making. So, you don't know that there is something called provocation in criminal law both globally and in Nigeria? Don't you know that if there is any ground to establish that someone was rightfully provoked to do something, then, the culpability is lessened to that degree?

OK, let's assume you're so ignorant you do not know this, are you also so morally and rationally bankrupt that you don't know this: When IPOB was only carrying placard, the Nigerian Government provoked them again and again by killing them until they became violent?

You are so shameless it doesn't worry you that an organization your country proscribed (IPOB) is not proscribed anywhere else throughout the world, but an organization proscribed throughout the world (Fulani militia) is protected by your government. Full shame.

Look at the poorest states in IGR and see that they were all 'advantaged' states relying on some free money from somewhere. For example, Buhari's home state was then relying on having free hand-out from the President or his asslickers like Rotimi Amaechi. Bayelsa and Ákwá Ibom were relying on 13% derivation from FAAC. Crude is a curse to Nigeria.

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. Here are recent warnings from Nigerian banks to their customers https://bbbox.livejournal.com/1445.html

There is a new wave of bank-related frauds.

Mtchewwww!
They are just trying to divert our attention from their own corruption. When CBN policies make it difficult for the people and POS operators to get cash, whom are you blaming? See ridiculous claims...

He stated that some POS owners charge as much as N4,000 to withdraw N10,000

Meanwhile, how about Dino? I guess he's Ebira too?

MrBroke:
You might be beautiful but aunty your shape is distorted. God Forbid

So, you want her to actually kill herself? Wicked soul.

Potopoto people no go sleep well tonight

Yes you're right. Only potopoto brain people will sleep well because of the bliss of ignorance. Have you ever seen a goat that worries about political problems?

Totilopussylick:
Ebonyi state is regarded as the most poorest state among the states from the south east.



None of the past and present governor of Ebonyi state has ever met up with what it means to be governor of a state

THE MOST POOREST? Which bush are you emerging from to insult my state with your bad grammar from your poor education? Your state must have 'the most poorest' quality of education to have produced you.

Dem right now.

I mean enemies of state.

Friend of the state, I hail thee. Are you buying fuel cheaper now because of this newspaper story? Dem Don manipulate your forefathers and now you for decades. When are you going to grab some🧠?

Do you mean only recent movies? Or, you want all time 'gems'?

This heralds the commencement of the production of petroleum products after the Christmas break.

PRODUCTION is yet to start, but this newspaper said that OPERATION has started. What is operation without production? Why not wait until production starts before you tell us that operation has started. Beware: This looks like an attempt to media-manipulate Nigerians.

The Federal Government, on Thursday, confirmed the commencement of operations at the Port Harcourt Refining and Petrochemical Company in Rivers State. It announced that the facility commenced operations on December 20, 2023, as the first phase of work at the plant had been completed, adding that refined petroleum products would start flowing from the refinery after the Christmas break.

The government had earlier in the year repeatedly stated that the Port Harcourt refinery would begin operations before the end of 2023.

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, who led of the Refinery Steering Committee to inspect the facility, congratulated the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and Nigerians in general for the feat.

Nigeria's refineries in Port Harcourt, Kaduna, and Warri have been dormant for decades, as the Federal Government has spent several billions of naira to revamp the facilities.

"The meeting today coincides with the commencement of operations at the Port Harcourt refinery,” Lokpobiri stated at the refinery.

He added, “This is to announce to Nigerians that in fulfillment of our pledge to complete phase one of the Port Harcourt refinery by the end of 2023, and the subsequent streaming of phase two in 2024, we happily announce the mechanical completion of flare start-up on December 20, 2023.

This heralds the commencement of the production of petroleum products after the Christmas break. We want to thank Nigerians for their patience and trust in the NNPC to deliver on our promise and mandate in the rehabilitation of our refineries.”

Also, the Group Chief Executive Officer, NNPC Limited, Mele Kyari, said the employees of the company worked day and night for over 9.6 million man-hours to get the refinery back on stream.

On April 7, 2021, The PUNCH reported that the NNPC officially signed a contract with Tecnimont SPA for the $1.5bn rehabilitation programme of the Port Harcourt Refining Company.

Awarded by who?

Do they make the cans too?

Benwallt:


He didn't mention the offers neither who made the offer.

As for link. Concerned mod will do the needful. Link , please provide the link to this news. E nor dear hard u but e dey hard me

We know.

Obi insisted that he was not afraid of death and would always be on the right path.

“I can tell you the offers that I get today is mind blowing. On the other way round, for refusing the offer, what they want to do to me is also very frightening. But I am ready to go through anything.

In case Obi is reading this, PLEASE PLEASE, DO NOT BE READY TO GO THROUGH ANYTHING. Nigeria needs your contribution, not your martyrdom. Do all you can to protect yourself. We've lost everything in Nigeria except hope. If something happens to a Godsent like you, many people will so lose hope that God would reject your martyrdom.

She compared this incident to her previous visits to water parks worldwide, noting the absence of rubber padding in Giwa Gardens’ pools.

The first aid response to the injuries further added to the distress. “The staff did not even see it as a big deal!! It took them almost 15 minutes before I saw one who took me casually to the nurse. The first aid service is wack!!! No good plaster is available!” she lamented, highlighting the inadequate medical assistance provided.

Here in Africa, nay Nigeria, we often imitate white people without thinking. Just like I visited a beautiful stadium complex built by a state government and people were urinating openly at the back because there was no provision of toilet.

Oh, see that...

Hope she's not living in the core north sha

There are more Fulani Christians than you can imagine. I've met one.

“I continue to receive very grave and painful news from Gaza,” Francis said. “Unarmed civilians are the objects of bombings and shootings. And this happened even inside the Holy Family parish complex, where there are no terrorists, but families, children, people who are sick or disabled, nuns.”

Disheartening.

Maxymilliano:
Crap !

As usual.

Hmmm! Looks like Tinubu actually thinks Nigerians are the greatest fools on Earth. Man of the Year awarded to yourself on what grounds?

Tinubu: One of our key initiatives is the provision of N25,000 monthly to 15 million households, for three months

World Bank: 99.9% of families are yet to get the cash transfer.

Me: Peter Obi may have infiltrated the World Bank with his penchant for statistics.

Tinubu: Na statistics we go chop?

Tinubu's newspaper The Nation has given him its Man of the Year Award. The event was reported at the State House WhatsApp Channel. Following the event, the Nation also interviewed the President on important States issues...

Nigeria's President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, during the weekend, talked about the economic program of his istration in a brief interview with The Nation, which announced him as Man Of The Year on 17 December, as observed:

The Nation: What do you say to millions of Nigerians battling a cost-of-living crisis caused by spiraling inflation, high petrol prices, and currency devaluation, who desperately want some relief?

Tinubu: As your President, I am deeply aware of the economic crisis's severe impact on Nigerians, and we are part of a global challenge with the rising costs of living. To help our people, my istration: is taking proactive steps. We are focused on providing financial to businesses and ensuring the availability and affordability of staple foods, which are essential for every Nigerian family. One of our key initiatives is the provision of N25,000 monthly to 15 million households, for three months. To further food security, we're working with our partners, local and international, to improve agricultural practices and provide essential resources to farmers.

In addition, the National Single Window Project is being implemented to enhance international trade efficiency. All these efforts are in line with our commitment to reducing the economic burden on our citizens, especially the working class and vulnerable groups. The reallocation of funds from the removal of the petrol subsidy is also a strategic move to bolster our government's finances, contributing to a stable economic environment for all.

Furthermore, in our commitment to ease the economic strain on our citizens, particularly the working class and vulnerable groups, our istration is championing the shift to cleaner energy sources. We recognize the benefits of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in providing an affordable and cleaner mass transit system. To facilitate this, we have waived the Value Added Tax (VAT) on CNG purchases. Additionally, to reduce the costs in food transportation and manufacturing, we've also waived VAT on diesel for six months.
I fully appreciate that these massively important reforms have been hard, but the dividends are already manifesting, with even more in sight. We have already seen improvements in our economic outlook, as corroborated by the likes of Fitch and Moody’s. These may seem ‘academic’ to many but the impact on investor confidence is significant.

The Nation: Many have criticized the cash transfer initiatives of your government, saying they are superficial and cannot address the level of poverty in the land. Are you still convinced about the efficacy of these programs?

Tinubu: I am steadfast in my belief in the efficacy of our cash transfer initiatives. These initiatives are a crucial part of our strategy to target and provide relief to the most vulnerable segments of our population, especially during the last three months of the year when the prices of basic items typically rise. This is not just about providing temporary ; it’s about strategically delivering assistance when it's needed most. We continue to work closely with all key stakeholders – including state governments, civil society groups, international partners, and private sector entities like telcos and fintechs – to refine these programs. Moreover, we urge all Nigerians to be mindful of the current economic situation and avoid exploiting it for abnormal profits.

In addition to these cash transfers, our istration is deeply committed to empowering micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, along with nano businesses. Significant financial is being directed to these enterprises to foster human capital development, economic growth, and financial inclusion. For instance, through the Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, we launched the 3MTT program, aiming to develop technical talent across Nigeria in fields such as software engineering and cloud computing. This program is designed not just to aid businesses but also to enable our youth to participate in the global gig economy, earning competitive wages while contributing to our nation’s growth.

Our interventions extend beyond what some may call ‘cash handouts’. They are about creating a sustainable environment where Nigerians can innovate and thrive. By focusing on sectors like digital and creative industries, we are fostering growth and job creation, harmonizing efforts between monetary and fiscal bodies to build a stronger, more resilient Nigeria."

The Nation: You have been quoted in the past promising to pay Nigerians a minimum wage they can live on. What is delaying the unveiling of the new minimum wage? How do you manage a situation where many states without the Federal Government's resources may not be able to meet whatever commitments the government at the center makes [it] to workers?

Tinubu: I understand the concerns regarding the unveiling of the new minimum wage and how states will manage these changes, especially those with fewer resources. To address this, my istration has approved a provisional increase in the federal minimum wage to N35,000 per month for six months, two months of which have already been paid. This decision follows extensive consultations with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC).

In managing the situation with the states, we are working closely with them to ensure the new wage structure is practical and sustainable. Each state's unique financial situation must be considered. We are focused on strategies to help states strengthen their economies, considering factors like tax efficiency and economic diversification.
We are committed to ongoing dialogues with labor unions and state governments. This collaborative approach is crucial to ensure that the new minimum wage is fair, reasonable, and implementable across all states. Our goal is to balance the economic well-being of our workers with the overall financial health of the nation.

We ask Nigerians to be rest assured that our istration will not rest until we have delivered a sustainable solution in the best interest of Nigerians.

The Nation: One feature of the last few months has been your aggressive pursuit of foreign direct investment. What are the tangible results of these shuttles around the world?

Tinubu: It is essential to place our initiatives within the broader context of our economic recovery and growth strategy. This strategy encomes several key reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidies, the unification of the naira's exchange rates, the adoption of the customs single-window, the streamlining of our tax system, and the enhancement and diversification of our revenues. These strategic moves are designed to enhance liquidity and create a more attractive investment environment for both domestic and foreign investors, thereby stimulating sustainable growth.

FDI is not ‘chicken change’. FDI is substantial, long-term financial commitments made by serious enterprises and investors. What is happening right now is that Nigeria is re-engaging with the global market - both foreign and domestic investors. We are telling the story of our significant and far-reaching reforms and rebuilding confidence in Nigeria as an accessible and safe investment. We are clearly communicating that ‘Nigeria is open for business’ and that the direction of travel is clear and fully committed.

So far, our pursuit of foreign direct investment has been met with positive outcomes. We've secured a $500 million deal with to fund renewable energy projects, particularly in rural Nigeria. Additionally, through local enterprises, Nigeria will supply LNG yearly to , starting in 2026, solidifying our role as a key global energy partner. Our focused efforts to attract European FDI are yielding fruit, notably with the $116 million French investment in the I-DICE program, aimed at creating 65,000 start-ups and 150,000 jobs, particularly empowering women. As announced on the sidelines of COP28 in Dubai, we're deploying 100 electric buses nationally, affirming our commitment to sustainable, eco-friendly initiatives and creating a platform for public-private partnerships in the mass transit category. Since this announcement we have received serious requests for co-investment opportunities from within Nigeria and across the world – Europe, India, China, and the Middle East, key global markets which our istration has been energetically engaging with.

I'd like to know why ungodly people are given power to oppress godly people in the world. I will use Nigeria as an illustration. I will tell God that that is why many people were so evil on Earth. So I'll demand to know why he allowed it that way.
