DeLaRue:


By 'everything', I assume you mean fuel subsidy in particular.

Well, it can be done, but there will be severe economic consequences.

If the president announces that he is restoring full subsidy, the international institutions lending Nigeria money will stop doing so. Naira will immediately fall to around N2,000, and slowly move towards N2500 and beyond.

Any benefit people gain from the reintroduction of full subsidy will be lost as prices of everything imported will shoot up to unprecedented levels. Prices of locally produced goods will follow.

So, as you can see, reversing subsidy removal can be done. Nobody will stop Nigeria from doing it. But the pain thereafter will be worse than before. We should be prepared to buy a loaf of bread for N3000 or N4000. May be N5000 or N6,000. Not possible? Ask the people of Lebanon.

See Venezuela, Iran etc for developing countries that don't generate enough revenue but still refused to remove subsidy.

How do you compare Nigeria with countries that are under multiple economic sanctions??

Fuel can still be subsidized. The FG can actually use one stone to kill 2 birds by pegging the fx rate at which NNPC and Dangote deals. They can pay Dangote the short fall. In the long run I am guessing that it will eventually start improving our fx rates and at the same time.

I am saying because it is a fact that our energy consumption is directly proportional to our fx rates, because of the massive fuel imports we've had in the past years.

The problem with a black man in Africa is that he wants to become a jack of all trade, he alone wants to rule everything thereby not allowing others to rule and this is why Africa is backwards today.

The white man or woman will have for example a kerosene factory and that factory will become a family heritage for generations to come, they will be known as the billionaire kerosene empire.
This means other whites will have to build empires with other diferent products and industries, thereby the circulation of wealth is distributed.

But in Africa, one man wants to have it all.

Greed is why Africa is still a 3rd world continent because i don't understand how and why dangote wants to own a bank.

Wrong ideology. That is not why African nations are poor.
Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk sell multiple products. I can point to multiple business tycoons that have their hands in multiple streams of income. The difference between Africa and developed countries is that we focus on tangible resources and neglect intangible resources. Until we think the other way round then Africa might not grow as fast as it should.

Nigerians just like to parrot whatever someone else says if it looks like it makes sense, when it is actually not making sense. Mr Bayou Onanuga lied. The road was a single carriage way and was upgraded to a double carriage way all the way to Abeokuta. Around Ita-Oshin to be precise. Towards the end of his tenure, he added the over head bridge at Ota. You're wicked if you just accuse anyone wrongly without verifying your facts. No major maintenance work has been carried out on that road, hence it has failed. We're easily deceived by politicians because of such trait.

The problem most youths on this forum have, especially those from Southwest is that they are not really smart in their thinking, they are just commenting with hatred and dislike for Igbos and Peter Obi without being objective and smart and their foolishness is seriously affecting or will affect Tinubu's chances in 2027 if Tinubu plays according to their ignorant mindset.


This poster gave you guys a daring secret exposure of what played out in 2023 and what is going on in the background.


Bola Tinubu have an agenda to dismantle Northern political influence in Nigeria and Tinubu also have a plan to be the last influential Nigerian President as he plans to restructure Nigeria and return power to regions and LGA levels before he leaves office because he knows that if he fails to do these things before he leaves office, Northern political Mafias will regroup and use it to deal with his family and Yoruba region, so he is working hard to ensure he finishes the battle by dismantling that Northern political influence and grip on Nigeria and I honestly support him in that regard even though the battle is affecting Nigeria economically and otherwise.



In 2023 Northern political Mafias wanted power to remain in the North under APC and when they realized that it may cause an uproar, they reluctantly chose to push the power to Atiku which was what gave Atiku the confidence not to bother about Wike and his Asoebi men's shenanigans because Atiku was so confident of his Northern brothers secret support.


Tinubu being a smart politician worked on El Rufai's greed for power by quickly aligning with El Rufai to deceive him into thinking Tinubu would pick him as Running mate. Tinubu still deceived him after picking Shettima by making him his point man he was carrying about to key campaign moves including the one at London.


Tinubu outsmarted the North in several ways and I give him kudos because he knew Northerners wouldn't have allowed him become President if he didn't act sick and about to die. He also knew that it would be difficult for him if he didn't carry El Rufai and co along, so he played them all. Even Aliko Dangote's ordeal is all part of Tinubu's decision to dismantle Northern political and economic influence in Nigeria and I commend Tinubu on that.



Now like the Op rightfully pointed out, Northerners are trying to work on Peter Obi with an agreement to align with Atiku to defeat Tinubu in 2027 so that Obi would then take over in 2031 to do one tenure and return power back to North.


And if they succeed in convincing Peter Obi to become Atiku's running mate in 2027, believe me, they might win Tinubu. Though the only challenge they would have is that if Peter Obi agrees to deputize Atiku in 2027, Obi will not get massive votes from Igbo youths like he got in 2023, Obi will also lose most Yoruba youth votes he got in 2023, but with a mass Northern vote Atiku/Obi would secure in 2027 if they marge together, it will overshadow the votes they would lose from Igbo and Yoruba youths that supported Obi in 2023.


If Tinubu wants to checkmate their moves, what Tinubu should do now is to first realize that his Northern game is over and face South to consolidate his support base in the south and Middlebelt by doing the below things:


1.) Tell COAS and IGP to work seriously together to curb Fulani herdsmen attacks in Middlebelt states like Benue, Plateau, Kogi, etc

2.) Initiate or create a Middlebelt Development Commission to return back displaced Middlebelt indigenes and farmers

3.) Release Nnamdi Kanu at all cost without minding whatever nonsense his Yoruba kinsmen maybe thinking, this will return peace to Southeast and win Tinubu large supporters that Obi would lose should he mistakenly decide to deputize Atiku.

4.) Work seriously to actualize the extra one state in Southeast.

5.) Start paying Niger Delta youths a monthly stipend of say NGN50,000 in the name of any reason he can come up with, and this should be initiated around beginning of 2026 so it won't deplete Nigeria's scarce resources.



If Tinubu work on these points I raised, he would most likely checkmate Northerners and whatever Zanga Zanga plans they may have and will win again in 2027

All Tinubu bots on NL. If you truly love your principal, take this to him, let him read and act exactly as written here.

I object on a few points you raised though. The moment Obi deputized Atiku, he will immediately lose all the organic support he got in the last election.

A plus for Tinubu is if he eventually finds a way to bring food inflation way down, even if we have to continue with high energy prices

I don't understand the rating of your battery. Could you pls convert this 5kw to ah?

Funny you should think that he is discouraged. He will go to another African country that is open to investments (very easy now that a good number of African countries need to work on their debt), then we will end up importing the steel. Dangote dey find where to put money, una dey talk another thing.

Do you ship from Amazon?

Eko Atlantic was there before landmark.. There won't even be landmark without the great wall of Lagos.

In addition, the remaining Eko Atlantic phases would have canceled out landmark anyway. Blue Arrow below is the great wall of Lagos. You can already see the road grids of the remaining phases (phase 2) of Eko Atlantic.

Sir, your comment is snide if I may say. That water front was leveled out on the basis of the supreme court judgement that says a certain area from the coastline is for the FG. Now is Eko Atlantic phase 2 a Federal government or a state government project?

Secondly, on what basis would Lagos state government have claimed that water front of not for Federal interference. Please educate me if I am not correct

uncleck:
There's something inherently wrong about Nigeria. What you can achieve in 30 years in Nigeria, you can achieve in just 1 year abroad. Let me tell you guys few stories to buttress this point.

There's this my good friend who worked as a senior lab technician in an FMC in Nigeria. He is married with 4 children. Guess what? The upholstery in his rented apartment are all torn. Life wasn't easy till he decided to travel to Europe. Less than 4 years abroad, his entire family has joined him and he now owns a modern duplex in his hometown; something he may never have achieved even after working for 35 years in Nigeria.

There's this other guy I know. He traveled through desert to Libya then to Italy through Mediterranean sea. Six years from the time he embarked on the journey, he is now a big boy doing a lot of things with money and bringing his whole family from poverty. There are many people in this category.


The Nigerian system is designed to make you fail. I can bet with everything I have that 99% of successful people in Nigeria did so illegally. Either through bribery or corruption or kidnapping or bunkery or yahoo yahoo or drug business or armed robbery. Businesses that succeed elsewhere will fail in Nigeria unless you cheat. Every office in Nigeria is used to cheat and extort people. Gift the police 10 new vehicles and see 10 new checkpoints the next day. The way they dedicate their time collecting money from motorists....

My advice to everyone. If no member of your family is abroad, all of you should contribute and send one person...

Terrible opinion. Travelling out is good. There are also lots of people that made it & are doing even better while in Nigeria, running a legit business. If you're young here I beg you do not internalize such advice.

The Internet & IoT, has unlocked & is still unlocking a whole lot of value chain systems you can plug into. Yes it might seem difficult starting off, especially if you don't have buoyant finances but once you build yourself & unlock value... That is it. Value is value anywhere in the world. My case in point would be legit skit makers & how much they have unlocked & they're still unlocking.

That's my 2cents

On top crude oil wey Dangote dey import?? We do know that Nigeria has become a crude oil importing nation now right? So he should import crude oil and reduce to #700??

Nigerians like putting pressure in the wrong places. Put pressure on NNPCL and the minister of petroleum to make crude oil available for Dangote. Then we'll see if he won't reduce price.

If you know what it means to miss an appointment due to such issues no one would be saying "what of other airlines". Airpeace had better work on the stories of incessant delays. It is not a good thing to be associated with.

Hi Sir.. I'm interested but my major concern is battery replacement.

Do you know if the battery is easily accessible?

I don't feel left out... I just pointed out his bias..

I love my state like that we dont need his validation..

The post says 13 new Governors. Omo State Governor isn't a new Governor Sir

Does emails to support@radautworks.com go directly to you? I have to ask you a couple of questions pls

ednut1:
where do you people get your information At newspaper stands or what. A citizen of any country can relocate where ever he wants and cant lose his citizenship na except its North Korea. I came to Canada 3 years ago as a PR. And will become a citizen this month. So all the Nigerian celebrities and people that gave birth in USA have their kids living in Nigeria lost their citizenship Like can you guy stop all these falsehoods.

As a citizen of a first world country you have more job prospects abroad than someone from a 3rd world country. There are people who were born in Canada that live and work in asian countries and latin America. Dem get too head?

Hi ednut1.

You seem pretty knowledgeable about migration, you're well travelled.

If you don't mind i would like to have a chat with you so that i can make an informed decision. That's if you don't mind. I can drop you a mail or something

tunjilana:


This is the problem with the trader's line of thought. it is like the guy who controls 5 shops in Alaba versus the one who is sitting on the board of a conglomerate, they cant think same way, one is tactical, the other is strategic

Electricity generation is never efficiently done by individuals, it is always at a high cost and environmentally unfriendly ways, even when green technology is used, it will still be at the expense of ambience and ease-of-deployment.

Every sane country focuses on bulk generation (either by private or public enterprises ) while distributing to households.

SMEs wont thrive the way they should, if they have to focus on generating their own power, cos they will be frontloading a cost they are meant to pay gradually. While heavy manufacturers will even have to spend more, thus increasing their cost of production and ultimately cost of goods/services provided by them.

With upfront investments by government/private corporations towards boosting bulk generation, and efficient transmission to SMEs, plus stability and reliability, more SMEs will spring up and existing ones will thrive, while the investing entities recoup their funds and mak profit over time

But it is difficult to see this when wearing a trader-lens and believing society runs on individuals solving their problems and trying to be a master-of-your shop without thinking holistically about how society should function

Good analysis. The NPP project and most recently the Siemens power project that has failed, could you kindly tell the main issues that put this projects on hold that would greatly improved power supply in Nigeria

MrVitalis is correct with his analysis. Until Nigeria graduates from a vicious economy to a virtuous economy we will keep hearing the same stories. Whatever happened to the Siemens power arrangement? Any serious company can get Nigeria powered in 1 to 2 years at least but the buying power of Nigerians have been frittered away through different means

Thanks

@Conner44 are you a mech? If you are, i would like to private chat you please. If you aren't i still want to private chat you

Conner44:


If that’s the only code you got then go ahead to change just the one sensor under your vehicle near the catalyst, drive for a few kilometers/miles and check if the malfunction light comes on again. If it does, then you’d need another scan.

Thanks alot

Conner44:


That code is for your secondary heated oxygen sensor. The one under your car near your catalyst. It’s due for a change

Thanks. Do i have to do any more scanning or just go straight to changing both sensors?

Sirs, i have a honda 08 2.4l that is really consuming too much fuel. It has one error code which is the P0420.

We've done the usual servicing the injectors & air intake system.

I don't want to start throwing parts at this problem i need proper advice and would also appreciate if i can be linked up with a good mechanic in Lagos

May your gbola remain glorious.... ASUU isn't a union of market pepper sellers.... if the solution they provided was as flimsy and wishy-washy as you claimed.... your FG's agents would have wasted no time in exposing it for the nonesense it would have been.... the current IPPIS has been adjudged to be worse in all of these metrics that you listed and many more ....evn by the Government itself...so this excuse falls flat....

one is the fact that it was FG that mandated ASUU to come up with a better alternative to IPPIS which was done..... second is the fact that it is as far as the constitution is concerned, University payroll and staff management is not the responsibility of the Accountant general's office... it is constitutionally vested on the University governing councils... if you want to change that arrangement. you need to first go to the national assembly to change the edict that supports ASUU's stance. This FG has not done so.... and unless we want to continue supporting impunity... we should not have even allowed this stand in the first place..

The issues that they gave as justification as to why they need to bring up IPPIS have been shown to be worsened now that IPPIS has been deployed. with ippis....university vice chancellors dont know all their staff....they only judge by those they see on ground.... IPPIS staff have been shown to insert the details of their friends sand cronies in the payrolls of government institutions. those folks collect salaries...sometines as professors and c...then share the salary in rations with the ippis staff that ran the racket.... this evidences are already in the public domain..... what would eventually happen will be that 5-01 years down the line.... some mischievous folks will just come out with evidences and claim that thousands or millions of ghost workers were discovered in the university system.... people like you will still be the ones to drag ASUU's name in the mud for it.

You can deploy both platforms alongside within the same time period ... then hack both as you have suggested and see which ones works better than the other.... the already known weak one that fg pays agents almost 15k per staff to run currently ..or the developed one which saves money and can still be run /handled by the staff members currently deployed to run university payrolls in the accountant generals' office...

We all know what this is about.... Soft Alliance is the company running ippis database in lagos...and abuja and is owned majorly by tinubu who himself settles the necessary key government men and politicians. Nobody is even saying to take it away from him....just protect the education sector from the personnel rot that has bastardized the other sectors..simple


last is the fact that ASUU's real bone of contention go far beyond ippis... let FG treat these others...lets see if ASUU will not shift ground...not this shifty attitudes they're playing. It's not their faults.... the average nigerian doesnt deserve good education.

You're smart. Very rare in this forum

Hi Mr Gazzuzz

You deserve a chilled bottle of drink from me and you will get it soon God willing.
Thanks for your willingness to help people

I'm here again.

I need someone I can talk to daily, someone I can discuss the details of my life with. I just don't want to be lonely.

I'm trying to wean of, the unhealthy relationship with my ex.

P.S : you need to be available, if airtime or data is going to be an issue, please don't indicate

Hey.... Just wanted to let you know that it's pretty hard to distract yourself from your previous relationship using someone else.

First take the decision of deleting both mobile and social media contacts and avoid been in close proximity to him.

Time will do the rest.

Can you ship from Nigeria to China?

So what are they doing in Guayana, Namibia, Mozambique, Senegal They're leaving Nigeria to countries where it is much cheaper to explore and produce. Stop trying to be smart Sir GMD.

What's the problem here?? The procedure is reversible.
