You guys are becoming so irresponsible. What is CBN's business with a service provided by Telco's and Banks? Is CBN in charge of MTN, Airtel and Glo services? Telcos provide the service and they have agreed to charge a flat rate or N7.00 instead of the N4.00 per session / 20secs
What do you gain by constantly mis-informing the public? USSD is a service provided by telcos to banks just like mobile calls and Internet services.

What exactly is your mission?
The flat rate is a reduction compared to the N4.00 per session / 20secs previously charge especially for services that require multiple sessions. The service is not free from the Telcos.
In South Africa, USSD services cost R.20 per 20 secs which is approximately N6.
Unfortunately we have a lot of people who do not read here. A pandemic of ignorance that these irresponsible media houses are feeding on. USSD service was never free.

Twice I have engaged the NBS on this criteria of classifying unemployed, underemployed and employed. Jobs are gradually shifting from hourly intensive, hard labour promoting classification to skill and enterprise based models. I don't need 29 hours weekly to earn a living.
In a largely unstructured economy, every Nigerian you come across and interview will tell you that they are "looking for a job". There is a bias, some will think the govt wants to help them get something better. A lot will outrightly claim they have nothing to do presently.
The plumber that came to fix some drains in house billed me 10k in less than 2hrs. Such a guy will claim that he has no work because he doesn't work in a structured environment.

This thing is simple, when you subsidise consumption ( wetin people dey consume ) per unit cost e.g Litre or per Kg, the people who have funds to buy more will enjoy more benefits. E.g N50 per bowl of jollof rice, if I am a millionaire, I will buy 200 bowls weekly and flex.
At the end of the week, I would have consumed N10,000 in subsidy as a millionaire. The poor guy who can only afford 2 bowls get N100. Millionaire gets N10,000, poor man gets N100.

Now look at the production line of jollof rice, from rice seedlings - preparation of jollof.
If we subsidise or intervene with inputs
- Land : farmers will gain, jobs
- seedlings : farmers
- machinery : farmers, operators, mechanics, jobs etc.
- rice mills : jobs, millers, bags and processing companies
- Road to the farm or mill : increased output, more jobs more rice

Niger state shares borders with Zamfara, kebbi, Kaduna & Benin Republic. Terrorists from Niger republic and Burkina faso easily move money and arms across the borders of Kebbi, Zamfara and Benin R into Niger state. According to UN over 900,000 people have been displaced in B'Faso
Niger, Mali and Burkina faso are weak countries populated by Shell terrorists who have now found a safe haven in the forests in Kaduna and Niger state. Birin Gwari, Mokwa forest, Nanati forests, Kanji lake areas.

No decent human resides permanently in forests.
We are facing both external and internal threats from these weak and failed countries we are surrounded with. As a senator you know that a FG police system with less than 300k officers can't actively police the landmass and borders in the North.
Form your state police now!

When a celebrity calls Nigeria a shithole, he or she is indirectly calling you all pieces of shit. Nigeria is a geographical space. There is no Nigeria without the people. A derogatory term used by the sick Trump has become your favorite .
Separate the country from the government
Why are Nigerians profiled abroad? It is the perception about about country = people. Why do you complain when you are treated like a piece of shit at international airports? You already labelled yourself as a piece of shit from a shithole.
The government workers and the politicians you hate, which makes you call you country funny names are given first class treatment abroad, but you carry the stigma.
Not all Indians like Modi but they cannot stain their flag or call their country derogatory names.

When people buy tables at your shows for N10m and you give them groundnuts, puff puff, chivita and Andre brut laced with dry jokes. Do they ask you how much the entire Eko Hotel is worth? This is a private investment by the banker's committee.
This project has been on for years, as a member of the creative industry, you should have taken extra steps to learn more.
The National theatre has a 5,000 capacity main hall, 2 capacity cinema halls, Banquet halls 8 - language translation media system, sitting on a 23,000 sqm. Image
700 seats cinema halls. I am sure you will be the first person to run there to screen your movies. The banker's committee will build - movie, music, fashion and IT parks on the vast land around the theatre.
Must we be cynical at all times? Image
