Our Defence tech and digital data handed over to USA 🇺🇸
Our strategic Seaport handed over to Britain 🇬🇧
Nigerian Lithium and cobalt mines were handed over to Australia 🇦🇺

Tell me what is left of the Nation called NIGERIA to serve her 250 million population? NOTHING!
These are the exact same people with history of unaliving our monarchs and enslaving our people.
The same people invaded, pillaged, raped and looted our resources and artifacts that's still sitting in their museum till date.
Are we truly independent??
Alhamdullilah! 🤲
The people have spoken!
God bless Kogi Central!
God bless the All Progressives Congress, APC!
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria! 🇳🇬
I bought fuel yesterday in Toronto, Canada, at $1.7999 CAD per litre, and it cost about $98.95 CAD to fill up my tank. This should ideally last me about a week or more.
Now, the minimum wage in Canada is $17.95 CAD per hour, which means someone who works an average of 8 hours a day will earn $143.60 CAD before tax. A day's salary is enough to fuel his or her car for 2–3 weeks. This means that even one of the lowest earners in Canada can afford to own and drive a car daily without the cost of fuel becoming an overwhelming burden. Public education for children is also free and of high quality.
In Nigeria, fuel is about ₦1,300 per litre. It would cost about ₦88,000 to fill up a similar tank. The minimum wage in Nigeria is ₦70,000 per month. This means that an entire month's minimum wage cannot even fill the tank once.
A minimum-wage earner in Nigeria cannot realistically afford to own, fuel, and maintain a car. The same person still has to afford food, rent, children's education, healthcare, electricity, transportation, and other basic necessities. The list goes on.
In fact, even a bank manager in Nigeria earning ₦1 million monthly could still struggle to maintain a decent standard of living after covering these basic expenses.
This is one reason poverty is so widespread in Nigeria. The cost of basic living is simply too high relative to what the average person earns.
You don't just have an income problem in Nigeria. You have an affordability problem.
For millions of Nigerians, simply living a decent life has become too expensive and increasingly impossible.
@BashirAhmaad@Cyberhijabitech So you call a whopping amount of $170, Just?
How much is it in naira?
Or do you just enjoy getting the people upset for no reason, Bashir?
I'm now 31. I can't work as a graduate trainee in most banks or Fintech in Nigeria due to age.
Their criteria is always;
> below 27
> NYSC certificate
>2.1
> atleasg 1yr experience
But if I manage to stay alive till 75yrs, when my brain cells will need more sleep then I'll be more than qualified to be the president of Nigeria that will determine the existence of any bank or industry in the country.
A single Policy made by President Tinubu on May 29th 2023 threw over 30million people below poverty line.
He doesn't have a first class.
He didn't go to any university.
He's not young.
But he's qualified to rule Nigeria because the criteria to rule Nigerians is to be dubious and incompetent.
Make it make sense
We designed a system to have the best in Private sectors and the worst in Politics running the Affairs of the entire nation.
Judicious in Micro economics but dastardly stupid in macroeconomic conditions.
So many abnormalities are happening in this country.
Minimum wage is 70k, but a passport costs 250k.
Minimum wage is 70k, but a local flight can cost 100k.
Minimum wage is 70k, but a driver’s licence costs 45k.
A year’s minimum wage is 840k, yet a room self-contained in central mainland can cost 1 million annually.
Minimum wage is 70k, but transportation to work alone can cost 30k a month.
Do we really have a government?
I just refilled my SUV in a Gas station at the rate of $5:499 cent per gallon. Do the conversion and know what you are enjoying in Nigeria. Please, cut the crap of Nigeria being oil producing country because USA has crude oil, has over 120 functional Refineries and has refined petroleum reserve that can last over ten years in time of emergency, yet, this is the current fuel price. Think about it.

She could have just waited a few minutes. I was once blocked on foot at Garki. I stood at the corner waiting until one Muslim brother cleared a path for me.
Let’s just learn to respect and tolerate each other’s faith.
