helinues:


We are not spending dollars in Nigeria.

Okay, revenue increased but inflation reduced the real value?

helinues:
Are states being remitted in dollars?

What I'm asking is 500M in 2022 and 1 billion in 2025 which is higher in real ?
I need to hold my governor because I have not seen any improvement since revenue allocation increased but I need to understand what is going on first.

It is no longer a secret that state governors receive more revenue allocation from the Federal government yet nothing seems to have changed in the states .
Then again, I tried to understand what actually changed in of revenue accrued to the states but it wasn't making sense to me.
Let's assume state A receives N500 million per month as allocation in 2022 which is equivalent to around $900,000.
Today, same state is receiving 1 billion, 100% increase! That's massive but scratch a little further and you will discover that 1 billion today is only worth around $625,000.
It gets more confusing when you consider the fact that this oil subsidy was paid in dollars therefore, subsidy recovery is equally in dollars.
Economists in the house, please educate me on the increase in state revenue because it is not adding up on my side .

I guess you did not read where he said he gives money to the mother? dude is simply bribing the mother to have access to the helpless girl. He's just an opportunist taking advantage of their poverty state.

Pacesetter123:

That's not what he was asking you.
He asked you if he has broken any law to warrant an arrest?
Let me add my own question too, which section of the Nigeria constitution will the girl child rights activist friend of yours use in prosecuting him seeing that the girl in question is within the allowable age of consent under Nigeria law?
You and most of us here were in this same country when a former governor and a serving senator who was 65 at that time got married to a minor of only 13 years old.
Where was this your friend and her NGO as at then when they were mostly needed?
Did they arrest the man for child abuse?

This is even 18 and 33 , you are calling for an arrest.Shiooorr!

Of course, He is more than qualified and is doing very well

Ndidi2:
Did he get itted to private uni to read medicine?

You realize you are not anonymous here, right?
What it takes is for me to place a call to a female child right NGO director friend and present your case to her and you with the lazy mother of the young girl that is taking money from you will have a case to answer.
Leave the innocent young girl alone. she's not ripe enough to withstand the pressures of marriage.

Elyonboy:
Arrest me for what?

Did i break any law ?

Honesty our love is deeper than physical attraction.

He is in a private university now studying his chosen course. I can't allow Nigeria to frustrate him the way it did to us then.
it's the exchange rate that has gone up else Canada or Australia is not a bad choice

mrvitalis:

He should change state of origin

He can change it back when he gets into the school

If you are applying to study Medicine, Pharmacy or Nursing in the East tie your wrapper very well . Last year UNN screening in Medicine humbled my boy with 305 JAMB score. I have to push him to a private Uni. immediately.

mrvitalis:

Medicine, law, pharmacy 288 won't get you itted especially in eastern federal schools and you are from IMO or Anambra

It's the sad reality we face... Someone from Kano would strow into unn medicine with 260
While someone from IMO or Anambra is not sure with 320

Its only in Nigeria that people will sow Yam seed and expect to harvest carrot.
If you still expect any good thing to come out from Tinubu/APC led government then you need to examine your head

Leave the innocent young girl alone to enjoy her childhood and teenage years. I know it's her pointed breast and tight tender skin that is pushing you. Look for girls that are ready for marriage, she has not discovered herself. If I know you I will arrest both you and the long throat mother that is collecting money to sell her young daughter to evade responsibility of sending her to school for further studies

Elyonboy:
Thanks alot for the advice Sir, Like i mentioned earlier, she is really mature for her age and her mum knows me very well and I've also told her my intentions towards her daughter. I also do help the mum with funds sometimes.

Gov Seyi of yesterday G5. This man quarrels with everybody

happney65:
Hehehehhehehehehe.. grin grin grin

I cannot wait to see Wike and Seyi fight. That yeye useless party that should have done the right thing in 2023.

Una fight just dey start ni. You never know anything.

Obi is really making mature political moves and that's commendable.
He is the only politician right now (aside Buhari) that can mobilize six million votes at the click of a button without spending shishi while it will take hundreds of billions of Nigeria's looted money + rigging and server glitch for Tinubu/APC to get same votes.

Whatever is the reason. This is pure extortion and you know it.
FYI, in a well organized setting, public transport is supposed to have designated loading points not the type you're talking about.

Caaz:
It only happens when they pick up engers in a designated park.
But when they re running on the freeway,they hardly experience svch.


Thanks for making the rider smiled.

Yesterday, my mechanic took my car to his workshop for regular servicing and my wife have been showing some bitchy attitude whenever I use her car ( bought with my own money) but that's not the story.
I decided to use public transport instead of the usual bolt ride for my day's movement for the first time since 2012.
I discovered a worrysome trend at the Keke terminal or whatever it is called.
The middle aged Keke man loaded four engers for #150 each which totals #600.
But to my surprise, he paid the union #150, another #100 to the areas boys and #50 park ticket.
Mind you what they're calling park is just a road side bustop built for the public.
I got alarmed when this same Keke man paid another #100 to a police checkpoint just 100m away from the bustop.
What it means is that this struggling Keke man have paid 67% of the money his engers paid to touts and police. He haven't bought fuel yet, and the Keke need maintainance. What a world ! What a wickedness! What a country!
I never knew all this nonsense has been going on and everybody is complaining of hardship. Nigerians are truly the problem of Nigeria not the leaders.

Anyway, out of pity I hired the Keke man for the rest of all my daily movements and paid him hugely at the end.

Lol! It's not as if I'm bed ridden bro, it's just that I'm a health conscious individual.
I spend heavily on medical diagnosis and check up cos of my family medical history .
Most Nigerians are walking dead, they only hospital when disease strikes

princemillla:
My brother all is well with you

I normally stick to doctors advice when I attend events.
During Xmas season,, I had a lot of appearances to many invited events.
I attended 7 events on 31st Dec alone.

I felt like ignoring my doctor's advice for the one week alone. Flexing costly foreign drinks offered in all the events.

As I'm typing now, I have a
3days appointment with my doctor for ignoring his advice for just one week.

Now imagine celebrities appearing on major shows almost on a weekly basis year on year with exposure to different drinks and cocktails.

Note: I didn't disclose my medical history for sake of privacy

I don't actually believe the authenticity of the alleged leaked audio call involving Ganduje however,
If it's actually true that Ganduje was not informed of the Paris meeting then Wike have a lot to worry for .
He (Wike) will be thrown under the bus by Tinubu's cabal to pacify Atiku in a bid to validate the incoming Presidency.
The political episode will be interesting

Sometimes you children need to sit down and listen to elders before making controversial comments .
That's how uninformed young Nigerians returned a dictator as President despite the warnings of us that saw his rule.

I was in Awka live when the then military governor handed over to Mbadinuju so I can tell you the state of Anambra politics.

Peter OBI remains the best governor Anambra and South East have ever produced since 1999.
As far as am concerned, Peter OBI is a one term governor because his first term was full of frustration and distractions from opposing camps that wants the old order to remain.
Peter OBI fought for the liberation of Anambra state all through his first tenure and still achieved so much in his second tenure.
He built consolidated development template for Anambra state which Obiano used throughout his tenure and even the talkative Soludo is using.
Stop all this childish comparisons

pquaver:


History will obiano .. Till date he is anambra best governor since 1999.. Hate him or love him

Africa my Africa
black man celebrating a Presidential car imported from another country.
Next level hunger will soon resume
Like I promised during the election, the era of helping Nigerians have come and gone.
To me now is me and family only.

Peter OBI is not called Okwute (stone) for nothing.
You should be more worried when he is silent.
Many Nigerians don't seem to know him.
I like what is happening anyway.
It will teach politicians a lesson.
I guess Tinubu is beginning to know who Peter OBI is from the technical knockout he suffered in Lagos with an unknown party.
Fighting OBI is the greatest mistake any politician can make

Seun take down this post.
This is 2019 picture of Peter OBI.
Let's not heat up an already tensed situation

Port Harcourt is locked down for OBi.
Any agbado urchin that loose guide and misguide will wake up in Bundu waterside

My brother sometimes I feel like proposing that ing senior secondary school exam (WAEC and NECO) should be minimum requirement for voting.
People that don't even know why they are voting are many in this country.
One of the downsides of democracy in a third world country

Hellonearth:
Are this ones human?
Just say some animals standing to vote.
U no s we blind people,cripple. What do they know about economy?
After one of them will come and say I should dash him money.

God will punish any idiot to ask me money from next week

OBI is winning this election. The only concern is the Senatorial and HOR candidates.
Though I know LP will form an alliance with PDP in the Senate to form the majority

So many fake news on nairaland frontpage

Wike is making poor decisions out of desperation. Dunno who is advising him

They would have even calmed down and sue INEC after the election.
The Senatorial and HOR election will simply be cancelled and a rerun ordered.
By then the party can use their influence of having the President elect on the polls.
It's called politics 101

Thank you our incoming President H.E Peter OBI for making this 2023 election worthwhile.
I wonder how the mood of this election will be if we are left to choose between Atiku and Tinubu?
I would have been dusting my port for assylum to Gambia instead of dusting my PVC

See the urchins above are wailing.
Handkerchief sellers will blow on Saturday.
Enough tears to wipe

This is exactly my thoughts.
Wike projected that Buhari will use incumbency power to rig in Tinubu, unfortunately it backfired.
Buhari disappointed them at the last minute.

How I wish Buhari can agree to collect his remaining salary and allowance and hand over to the newly elected President in March .
May seems too far

Kogi governor cannot be sued because of his legal immunity.
The moment you him to any suit sorry, you have automatically lost the case

Theoarhics:
Which one be kogi govt instead of kogi governor. Are they scared to call Yahaua Bello's name as the accused?
