Compared to the purchasing power of the minimum wage, petrol is expensive in Nigeria.

Dangote, that’s the bitter truth.

Interesting

For a nation with fertile land where the likes of maize, wheat, sorghum etc can grow, this is absolute madness

Let’s start by reviewing the APC scam change of 2015.

Jail those frauds who promised 3 million jobs a year.

If food price inflation comes down, just know it’s not because of anything innovative the government has done.

It’s because of importation.

However the success of this strategy is dependent on stability or volatility of the exchange rate. If the exchange rate keeps deteriorating, it ain’t gonna help sort food price inflation and food security.

Lovely topic.

Will update my post later today.

Ikpeazu the petrol governor.

Excellent development if the production facility is sited in Nigeria

They’re right! He missappropriated 235 billion, not 234 billion

I see…

Dangote, I suggest you get your oil mining license. That’ll sort out a lot of bottlenecks.

Every thing in life has two side Let me introduce a different perspective

Yes farmers are making money but does the country benefit?

Some may argue. It brings in dollars .

Why are dollars a good thing? What do you do with the dollars? Consume imported stuff that fuels jobs in other countries?


The problem is this

Land used to grow cocoa is not being used to grow stuff that we eat in Nigeria. That is a problem

Is that opportunity cost worth it for the country if you end up importin rice? using dollars?

African Nations are being used as farmlands for rich countries to grow cocoa, cashew nuts cassava, coffee, tea even flowers whilst African people go hungry. Most of these cash crops their people cannot afford to consume.

We are not even allowed to add value to the cocoa and the real money is made in places like the USA, Belgium, , Switzerland


We need to forget ing our land to service Europe with things our people cannot afford to consume

The other thing is that they have the power to crash prices of cocoa and other commodities when you least expect it . We have seen it many times with crude oil


We should focus on trading with our African neighbours growing things that Nigerians eat or our neighbours eat

Rice , Yam, beans, vegetables, cassava potatoes
If we must grow cocoa. We must insist on making chocolates from it and aim to get our people to consume it
If not let us aim to train our youths to make electric cars, solar s and so on

No matter how you dice it the labourers working on cocoa farms are close to slave labour. Our people deserve better

Now Chinese people are going into the bush and loading containers with cashew and cocoa and our people are celebrating because they see the kind of money they have never seen before but it is not in our best interest. We need to look at the bigger world picture. See what Trump is doing

Let our land serve us

Something similar is happening with Dangote. He is more intent on exporting fertilizer than mobilizing it to boost food production in Nigeria.

Here is a very interesting fact

Nigeria is number 8 in the list of countries with Arable land and number one in Africa.


Why are we hungry.

The cocoa story is nice but let us switch that to what we actually eat IN NIGERIA

Summary of the matter is…. Money is a tool for mind control.

An illusion people keep chasing after, rather than being in sync with nature to improve their standard of living.

The picture below explains it better.

Good news!

Ok

Inflation rate in Burkina Faso reduced from 14.1% in 2022 to 0.7% in 2023.

Source: African Development Bank.

Something Tinubu will never accomplish in his wildest dreams.

Another one for Tinubu slaves to choke on.

Burkina Faso is doing better than Nigeria on the Global Hunger Index.

Erm....who is going to tell Baba Kenya?

Thought he said God never called him to start a church? 🤔

Putindbutt:

Mere projections, not real data. They also applauded the President's policies but you chose the one that suits your sentiments.

So how has the standard of living of the average Nigerian improved under Tinubu so far?

Kindly explain to us.

Point to one HDI index in Nigeria that has improved under Tinubu.

Putindbutt:

Mere projections, not real data. They also applauded the President's policies but you chose the one that suits your sentiments.

Quit playing the Ostrich.

See how GDP per capita declined rapidly under Buhari and Tinubu from 2015 till date

I want to see how you will twist your way out of this one.

Putindbutt:


Same IMF? dey play.

Yes, the same IMF.

Go to their website. Who una wan gaslight?

Let’s add the $897m to the 11.35 trillion naira already flushed down the toilet.

Putindbutt:

You're still not making sense, give us surce of data with date of release. That's how to situate an event, you half baked graduate.

Your attempt at deflecting from the obvious is pitiable. Are you pretending not to see the following institutions in the screenshot?

1. IMF
2. UN's Food & Agricultural Organisation
3. the World Food Programme
4. Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security.

Are you still itching to play the ostrich or deflect with "IPOB" as your way of escape?

Meanwhile, I can see you've conveniently turned a blind eye to this report from the world bank hmmm?

Will update when it hits front page

Putindbutt, you got mail.

Putindbutt:

What's the name of your source?,

More stuff.

Nigeria is in trouble.

Putindbutt:

What's the name of your source?,

It’s in the screenshots read it.

Putindbutt:

Which blog be dis one?, Ipob blog?

You have eyes to read.
Pitiable attempt at deflecting

MT:


If you were made a Nigeria President today, tell us two things you would have done differently.

I’m not fighting you, just want to learn from your supposedly top notch istrative skills

Flood the local refineries with crude oil at naira denominated prices. That will tackle rising inflation rate and exchange rate instability.

So far, the bulk of Dangote refinery’s crude oil stock is imported. Meanwhile Nigeria has unsold crude cargoes. Absolute madness.
