@___A1shah @Maven_writes Well she has pretty much said so now, in the school everyone learn to recite both Christian and Muslim prayers, and I've heard of many of such cases actually. So you see why your request for a video just because it wasn't your experience was wrong.

@Ferdinandinho5 @Maven_writes She didn't say she attended a Muslim school.

Till date I can recite the grace, the Lord’s Prayer and sing multiple hymns from memory I graduated from a Lagos State Model College (back when it was just the OG) 5 almost 30 years ago Tolerant una!

In many Nigerian markets, food items are removed from branded packs and resold in nylon bags, buckets, and plastic cups. BusinessDay investigations found that many come from expired, near-expiry, or rejected factory stocks, fuelling a multi-billion-naira illegal trade that exposes consumers to health risks....

@toyinjaz Lol except those so called favorite brands have him on retainer, what does he have to gain from blindly supporting them. GST should learn from actual journalists on how to pass information without fear mongering. "Everything is designed to kill you" can't be a long term strategy

Yeah, right. Because this one isnt indicating any of una favorite brands. Very dishonest demography.

now this is how you write an informative editorial without undue alarmism

@___A1shah @Maven_writes You can relate because you're a Muslim and maybe went to a Christian school. You won't be able to relate with a Christian who probably grew up having to go to a Muslim school for whatever reasons. It's easy to understand pain you've experienced, not so easy when you've not.

@Ferdinandinho5 @Maven_writes @deenprogress That's because I can relate and I know all that offhand too. A Christian saying she knows surah that's written in Arabic is obviously a lie which needs to be proved.

I am a very patient man.

@delatonesx The African mother doesn't have access to full cream or whole cream milk that's widely available in every provision store?

The European mother who fell for the same "Got Milk?" propaganda gets actual milk. The African mother who fell for it gets a tin of skimmed milk powder blended with palm oil, sweetened with sugar, and packaged with a cow on the front. Do Africans deserve substandard products?

Also, if NAFDAC mandates the sodium content of Maggi be halved, the person using one cube to fry eggs will start using two or three to compensate for the very obvious difference in taste.

people smoke cigarettes in spite of the large warnings on the packaging. Why should anyone have to make special concessions for people that are clearly suicidal. Is it normal to fry one egg with a whole cube of maggi?

@___A1shah @Maven_writes @deenprogress Why didn't you ask the OP to make a video of her reciting the Psalms or the Lord's prayer?

@Maven_writes @deenprogress Please make a video of you reciting it 😂

NEWS UPDATE: The International Monetary Fund, IMF, has warned that Nigerians may face tougher economic conditions in the near term as rising food and transportation costs continue to squeeze household incomes amid lingering global shocks.

You people should take it easy with how you consume processed sugar. You cook yam? Put sugar, cook beans? Put sugar. What the heck.

Move to Lagos, they said🤡 I changed the filter 4 days ago btw

They will come and post “Guys have you noticed that maggi is no longer sweet? You now have to use 5 cubes”

@shadesOfQueenT Is it the fault of the manufacturers that the people can't read?

And people that can’t read? 🌝🌝 Like for someone who can’t read, if two different milk products are placed together, are they wrong to assume they’re both Milk and not that one is milk while the other is a milk derivative?

@YCarvin80 Lol how much is/was the going rate in your location? And which state is this if you don't mind?

APC don't pay much. Take It from a career vote seller

I promised actionable solutions and realistic expectations. so here we go: we need to first first fix our economic vocabulary to understand the problem & the potential fixes! People conflate “Cheap” with “Affordable”but in economics they aren't the same. The Fuel Case: In the US, fuel is ~$1.18/liter (N1,593). In Nigeria, it’s N1,250–N1,330. Fuel is technically "cheaper" here, but it’s "unaffordable" because our purchasing power is low. Even at cost price (N1,153), most Nigerians still can’t afford it without a subsidy. The Rent Case: Our rent is among the cheapest on the continent (lower than Ghana or SA), but it feels expensive to us bcos the wallet is thin. Average annual rent for a single family home in S.A is R110,00 equivalent to N9M meanwhile the average annual rent in Nigeira is N700k less than 10% of S.A rent, still cheaper but not affordable. The Hard Truth: Populist slogans like "slash cost of governance" or “stop corruption” though morally ideal but in reality they are good for nothing but election sloganeering, they won't put more money in your pocket tomorrow. To move the needle, we have one job: Produce, This is a GDP-per-capita problem. We solve it with three pillars: 1. Massive Industrialization (Export or Die) Purchasing power is tied to your Balance of Trade. We must move from a consumption economy to a production one. We need to export processed goods, not just raw materials, to capture the full value chain. Nigeria became a net exporter of petrol for the first time in history yesterday when Dangote shipped 317k barrels of petrol to Mozambique, that is the blueprint. We need to replicate that in tech, cars, textiles, military hardware, processed food etc. We have too many people to rely on oil royalties like the Emiratis or the Saudis; we must diversify the economy from oil & become an Asian Tiger. 2. Energy Independence High energy costs are a "hidden tax." When a baker spends 40% of revenue on diesel, bread becomes a luxury. Fixing the grid lowers the "cost of doing business," allowing for better margins, higher wages, and economies of scale that naturally lower prices. 3. Functional Consumer Lending (Credit & Mortgages) Nigeria is a "Cash-and-Carry" economy. In the UK, a £300k house is affordable because of 30-year mortgages at 5%. In Nigeria, we expect 100% upfront payment. That is almost mathematically impossible for the middle class and the lower class are consigned to never owing homes. Affordability isn't just about the price tag—it’s about spreading the cost over time. Until we have single-digit mortgage rates, housing remains a 1% luxury. this doesn’t just apply to housing but every other thing nigerian buy from clothes to food to education to health etc. the USA Domestic credit to private sector stands at 198% of GDP while nigeria’s own stands at 20% by that token with a GDP of $250b Nigeria has a $500b+ consumer lending gap that needs to be closed for affordability problems to become history. The Bottom Line: No elected candidate can "decree" prosperity and slash prices of Fuel or Rent overnight not BAT, Atiku or Obi. We have to move from a cash-at-hand consumption system to a production-and-credit system. So when you go to the polls next year, I really don’t care who you vote for that’s your prerogative but if you really care make sure you compare their promises and their manifestos against these pillars and make informed choices across all strata’s of government from federal to state to local governments.

@mao_0k It's not the same thing because there's real milk in Nigeria. If you drink full cream or whole milk, that's the so called real milk and it's widely available in Nigeria. Nigerians don't usually buy that for economic reasons not because it's not available.

That said, LQT why is GST quoting a politician as proof of scientific statements? So we are larping Europeans and the full argument is eurocentricism and white supremacy as counter? We are in the dark place o

You wey no get stuff😭
