That’s a short term mindset. We were all suffering before because there were no investment in roads, no hospitals no good schools. They gave you cheap petrol to stop you from feeling the impact of the damage the subsidy regime was doing to your futures.

What is the benefit of cheap petrol if it means your life and prospects stagnate?

You spend all the money (even borrowing) on subsidy, because you spend all the money on subsidy you don’t have a well educated Labour pool, poor roads and infrastructure etc because of that you are unattractive as a destination for businesses, because businesses don’t invest good jobs are not created, because there are no jobs you are unemployed and the few jobs that are available you are unqualified because the education system is so underinvested your certificates and degrees are worthless…..all because of cheap subsidized petrol!!!!

Cheap talk like this do pain me a lot.
Are you saying that our road infrastructure, healthcare system, educational institutions,our standard of living,etc are now in anyway better than they were during the subsidy regime?
That our economy is now attractive to investors than it was during subsidy regime?
It is like you don't even know what you are talking in your mouth.

Ritchiee:

Use your head.
That $20 is what they would have borrowed to pay subsidy.
It would have been $22 billion including that amount you touted.

No, you are wrong.
He said the money saved is physical and not what they would have borrowed to finance subsidy as you said.
That is why he said the money is now being channeled to infrastructural development.If it was what would have been borrowed,the money wouldn't have been there to channeled to anything in the first place.
So for him to say it's channeled into infrastructures means the money is real and not imaginary as you think.

(Though there's no infrastructure anywhere in the country being seen that they use subsidy money for?

Buhari's own is even the worst because man has been contesting to be president since 1999 only to fumble so badly when the nigga finally got the opportunity to govern

It pains me so much knowing how much I believed in the nigga

PDP Bishop

Wee you kip kwayet dia?
The man is saying the truth to the power that be.
That makes him a stateman

Well, it's a very sad situation.
I will blame the principal and at the same time blame the present administration of PBAT for this ugly situation in that school.

Whether we believe it or not,the poor economic situation in the country has contributed to the poor quality of food served these students.
Even in different homes of average Nigerians, you can't tell me that it's the same quality of food they were eating few years ago that they are eating in this era of "subsidy is gone".

The 30k minimum wage they were getting many years ago is what they are still getting today while the prices of goods and services have increased by 300---400% due to poor economy policies of this regime.
And you still expect them to eat the same quality of food they were eating before.No,it can't happen.
So the same situation is what this Principal is facing.
Remember, this is public school,and public schools charge very minimal amounts as fees compare to their private counterparts.And in public schools,the Principals cannot stay on their own and increase fees arbitrarily like that without government and PTA approval.
I may not know the actual amount charged by this school,but I can qurantee you,it won't be above 100k per term.Now, you can imagine a situation were he collects 100k per head of student when a bag of garri was 28k,rice was 23k,grayfish was 48k per rappin.
And now in this PBAT era,garri is now 120k,rice abt 92k, grayfish 230k per bag.
While the students' fee still remains 100k as before,so what type of food do want the Principal to serve the students given the situation?

I am saying this because I myself, I am a product of government boarding school.
In our days (OBJ 2nd term) when the economy was not as bad as it's today,to some extend,we were "well fed" in the boarding house.
For example, every Sunday morning,they served us one full egg with sliced bread and condimented tea.
Because egg was affordable then.But I can tell you now,those children cannot eat one egg through out their stay in that school as far as this present administration is concerned.Egg is now #300 .
So the poor state of Nigeria economy occasioned by poor economy policies of this government has contributed partly to the low quality of food am seeing in the video.

Then to the Principal,he is not fit to hold a public office.
Even in your house,no matter how hard the time is, you try to double your hustle as a man at least to feed your family well.Yes, the food may not be as qualitative as it should,but you can't feed your children with the type of soup you are feeding those students with.
The quantity of garri is a bit okay.But you see that colour water you called soup, you deserve to be arrested for that.

Now what should the principal have done if the boarding fee is too small and can't give the children good food again?
He should have called for a PTA meeting and explained the current economy reality to them and the need to increase the boarding fee.
I believe the PTA would have seen reason with him.
Another thing was to send a memo to government through ministry of education about the dilapidated state of boarding facilities in your school and the need to upgrade them and need for government to increase the fee too to enable you meet up with the current market situation in the country.

If he had done that, and the whole effort still fail to yield result, work transfer to day school to have peace of mind.Allow them to run their military detention camp in the name of boarding school by themselves.
If he had done that,he would have saved his name and reputation.

Lastly,the Perm Sec, Chairman State Sec. Edu.Board and the Commissioner of Education should equally be suspended and prosecuted along side with the Principal for negligent of duties.

.............I paid an unscheduled visit to the school bla bla bla when I saw the video.
How many of such unscheduled visit has she paid to different schools to check how things are being done and the state facilities and report back to governor for actions ever since she was appointed commissioner since Udom's administration till today?
Na to sidon for office the chop chop money nah im them sabi.

But I am still wondering why Islamic sharia law is allowed to operate in a secular state like Nigeria.
The constitution of Nigeria clearly spelled out that Nigeria state has no religion.
So where do the northern states derive their power from to govern part of Nigeria with Islamic law?
If states down south that are predominantly Christians should formulate a law now base on their religion,how will Muslims in those states survive?

So nah so Oyibo dey follow mumu reach?
I think say nah only for black man land wey sense no dey a times.
Nah here we hear say Buhari dey go with "double body" by some mumu Naija men.
So Oyibo fit mumu reach the point wey them talk say no be the real Putin dey Russia so,say nah plastic man?
Orr,nah dis one wey I bin blame Naija people that time for rumour of Buhari double body story.

Come to nairaland and ask how much they think it will cost you to purchase a pair of slippers, an idiot will crawl out from somewhere and say you will need more than 1.5m because of inflation.

I tired for some of them.
Asweeerrr!!

deavicky:
Let us do wrough analysis. An average 2bedroom flat should be about 90to 100 linear meter.
Let use 100 meters. U need 200 block to make this 100 meter so if ur foundation is 5 coaches you will be needing 1000 block which is #600,000 in my area.
U need 13 bags of cement to lay that amount of blocks =#130,000
Bricklayer #120 per block= 120,000.
Sand 25 cubic = 120,000
Granite about 500,000
Excavation of foundation 90,000
Blinding of foundation cement 15bags =#150k
Labour 30k
Doc 30 to 40 bags of cement 350k
Labour 80k
Total of 2.14million
Filling of the foundation befor casting is not included .
If u can manage the money well it will go along way.

The granite and sand you are counting are already there on ground.
So you can see the money is enough and will even remain some light change sef.

Godfullsam:
So many idiots on nairaland.

You are an idiot if you say 2m naira is not enough for a 2 bedroom foundation.

Considering the fact that the OP already said he has sands and lots of iron rods.

Except if he wants to build the house in the middle of river Niger.

Wait oh, if 2m can not do the foundation of a 2 bedroom flat how much will be able to complete it?
300m naira ?

You guys are mad.

I am still wondering..oo,my guy.
What will he really buy again?
Somebody said he has rod,full loaded truck of granite and sand.
Is it not to mole blocks about 800 to 900 pieces should be enough and pay workmanship?
In fact a little change will remain sef.
Just for only foundation and with the materials on ground,they are saying 2m can't carry him.
Nawa..oo.

id4sho:
Yes, with small building collapse

The borrowing also left Nigeria with debt that was eating 90% of government revenue by August 2022.

That's what forced tinubu to remove subsidy the following year on petrol and forex

Infact if anyone taking over after 2023 had continued to borrow to help the masses, by now our debt would have been nearly 100 trillion naira. And we would have been borrowing to service the debt and pay for everything else.

I know the poor state of economy Buhari left the country with.
But your explanation above doesn't in anyway answer my question.

What is this administration borrowing all these huge amount of money for?
We are no longer subsidizing any essential things that the former administration was borrowing to do.
Rate of taxation has increased.
So what are we borrowing the money for and how does it impact on the life of average citizen?
That's my question.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Multi polarity in the international system is here to stay. As an African, I'm happy seeing the ICC issuing arrest warrant against Western leaders, it will go a long way in suppressing the belief that ICC was established to prosecute African leaders.

Meanwhile, congratulations🎉🥳👏 to South Africa🇿🇦, they're the people that took Israel to ICC. They have balls made of STEEL, Nelson Mandela will be proud💪.

But who will enforce the judgement?

nairalanda1:


He is also partly responsible for the problems we have right now.

Throughout most of his regime, oil income was at an all time low, except for 2 years. And even then, it was never high enough. Meanwhile government revenue from taxes did not grow very much.

So, where do you think they got the money to pay salaries, keep fuel below N200 per liter, keep subsidising electricity, and a host of other things.

That is right, borrowing.

Because if he had done the alternative as prescribed by the experts, all Nigerians...rich and poor....would have been paying heavy duty taxes, and subsidy would have been removed totally on petrol, and electiricty.

It would have imporved our economy eventually, but it would have led to him being removed.

His acolyte...tinubu ...is doing what he did. He was forced to end fuel subsidy, because the buhari practice left Nigeria with a massive debt.

The thing you guys need to realize...something that the army and even people like Obj and GEJ tried to tell you....is that nothing is cheap. If someone is offering you bread at N10 per loaf, either that bread is fake or made of sawdust, or.....someone is paying heavily to keep that bread at N10 per loaf, and when the money goes out, or the cost rises, loans will be taken...and when that becomes difficult....the price of bread will go up, and we would call the baker lucifer.


The story of Nigeria, in brief.

Yes,I agree with you that Buhari is part of the problem we are facing now.

But don't you think if Buhari borrowed to pay salary, subsidized fuel so we can buy fuel below #200 and electricity as you said,that his borrowing was very very beneficial to the masses?
Now tell me what this present one is borrowing the money for and how does this his continuous borrowing benefit the masses?
In this present administration,PBAT is not subsidizing any essential item for us..oo,but we are paying higher rates of taxes, price of fuel gone beyond the reach of ordinary Nigerians, electricity tariff is on high side while the power supply remains epileptic.

So what is his own borrowing for?

You think you can live on this 200naira per post?[/quote]

Make them allow me hear word with their noise of imaginary North Korean troops in Russia.
So are they telling me with all sincerity of mind that these NATO supplied long range weapons are operated by Ukrainian military?
Is it not western military mercenaries that is helping Ukraine?

I love what Putin is doing in retaliation

Putin, the man with steel ball

NothingDoMe:
Still mocking him. Where the nukes? Once e press that button na opportunity for all of NATO to fire nukes at Russia. He go dey okay in the end.

So those NATO states are immune to nukes, right?

psucc:
It's rather ironic that the ICC issues arrest warrant on Israeli PM whose country is fighting for survival while Putin who invaded Ukraine is walking free.

No truth in this world - Lucky Dube

Putin nah dia mate?

Bunnatex:


I'm Igbo and there's no tribalism here. She already served 5 years, let another try out.

Ok,I am not Igbo.

Your reasoning is very low.
Did the president tell you he sacked her because she had already served for 5 years?
So you think the Present didn't know she had already finished her first term before reappointing her for a second term?
Or has the 5 year term president Tinubu appointed her for finished and she was still there that's why he feels she has overstayed and should go to give another person a chance?

So where is that one in South Africa that was fighting her?
Did she compete in the world too?
Or is she only a local champion that is afraid to compete in the world stage having known that she will fail woefully?
