ruth Dung: yes , in Jos some filling stations have reduce their price to 95. truth should be said after abacha regime this is my first time of seen no cue in filling stations . GEJ come 2015

*queue*

billante: This goes to show that deregulation does not necessary means high fuel price!
This is the time to do away with fuel subsidy and use the money for our infrastructure needs....almost a trillion naira will be available.....imagine how much that will do to nigerian roads, airports, railway,universities, hospitals, etc and dis is per year.....

or available to corrupt pockets?

not far from the new shoprite been built.

being built

Idi Amin: I hope you guys have jobs for all the police officers you caused their sack so far. They are people's fathers, mothers, brothers and breadwinners. I am not supporting corruption but how many of you have attempted to expose corrupt politicians, civil servants, bankers etc. An average Nigerian is corrupt so why emphasize on police alone

1.---The crusade has to start somewhere, and where best to start than the NPF, who are the most ubiquitous and brazen in bribery and corruption?
2.---Your argument about their being fathers, mothers, sister, etc does not hold water. The citizens being traumatised and extorted daily also have families.

The arrest is only the beginning of the story. More important will be what will happen in investigation, prosecution and sentencing him to appropriate punishment according to our laws.

I am not confident that will be followed to logical conclusion.

It is always plenty of talk and little or no results!!!

Dis Guy: perhaps they need the police treatment

Maybe people should start exposing their attitude online!! Video!!

I have a gut feeling that this video exposure thing has the capacity to bring some change to Nigeria.

But be careful filming a drunk man with a gun ooooo.

victorv12: We need a lot of psychiatric institution in Nigeria. The percentage of people that are insane in our country is highly enormous. Most of the people that we see on a daily that we think that are sane are mentally sick.

thats not to talk of the incessant brainwashing by lots of self-appointed "men of god"

Rawdeal: This is just a symptom. ASUU is the sickness. Treat the sickness and the symptoms will be cured

This is no excuse for a sane adult to commit a crime

Mr. Aladin:
I Don't Expect Less Frm An Aboki.
Everthing About Them Is Negative.

Abeg Aboki Shine My Shoe I Get Babe To Catch Up with By 2pm

A civilised person argues with facts and figures, and from a position of objectivity, not with sentiments and baseless stereotyping.

AND for your info, the average Aboki in far more intelligent than you, given the same opportunities.

petrov 10: he can go to hell...who needs him ..stewpd aboki

Jona CERTAINLY needs him for 2015:
He presides over Kano State, the most populous state in Nigeria. (2006 census figures).
He can easily unite majority of the Northern governors against Mr. Shoeless.

AND like it or not, Nobody can win a free and fair election in Nigeria without the support of the North.

interior pics and location for inspection pls.

uthupbe: Nairaland is a market place where u display your wares. If you are afraid to display the price along with it, its unfortunate that your wares will be ignored and opportunities pass you by. Its a poor marketing strategy. Think abt it. PRICEIS IS THE STRONGEST MOTIVATIONAL FACTOR. Good day

seconded

Enugu will now be the new haven for drug traffickers. I will avoid that glorified motor park like a plague.

In other words, English vs pidgin

olabukola: Heat grow, gatwick, and many other uk airports are not managed by uk govt. you guys should get unself informed b4 hitting the keyboard.

Yeah, but they are managed by reputable home-based (uk) companies. AND are Nigerians complaining about the current arrangement? Methinks someone stands to get kickbacks from this concession.

We should be careful how we parcel out out strategic assets to outsiders in rhe name of management.

fredopayee: Ask MTN.

........and DSTV
........and Game Stores
........and GD cinemas
........and etc

you forgot to mention Kano is the first airport in Nigeria. British Airways (then BOAC) was landing there in the 1920 s

Acidosis:

Have you ever been to Kano?

Are you aware Kano is the second largest state in terms of commercial activity within Nigeria and the second most populous state in the country ? (check wiki)

Do you know Kano & Lagos are competing in terms of population?

Are you aware people troop in to that city like pure water for trade, business and investment?

Are you aware we have a standard football pitch in Kano state where footballers all over the world troop in until recently (crisis and all) ?

Are you aware Kano state governor is sending his people in hundreds on a daily basis for scholarships right from that Kano airport to any country you can think of in the world?

Do you know foreign investments and investors are all over the city?

Hope you know people who troop in to Kano just to order cars are more than those going to Lagos and Cotonou put together? Everything in Kano is relatively cheap!

Hope you know Kano state is the "Centre of Commerce"

Are you aware there are over 70 Hotels in the city- Kano? (not state).

I don tire for my west, south people o...

My dear, don't limit yourself to nairaland cos if you do, you'll not know anything aside Fashola, and maybe Amaechi and ACN..

Even if you can't travel to places, spread your horizon!!

The best comment and most accurate analysis of our affairs. I doff my hat for you sir.

MARK-REN:
The biggest mistake anyone will make is to compare Egypt with Nigeria. We are innately selfish and greedy people and this has been with us since independence, only amplified with every generation as we get older as a country. There are 2 categories of Nigerians "Those in positions of Power & Influence & Those waiting to get into those positions of Power & Influence". Everyone complains about how bad the system is, how those in charge are ruining everything, but deep down we are waiting for our turn to run things and get our own piece of the largesse.

We claim to be one of the most religious people in the world but lack any sense of morals. We lie, cheat, kill, rig, etc. and justify it in the name of religion. We have religious leaders who no longer preach morals or good behavior but prosperity. Therefore if you get into any position of influence, God has blessed you and u must do everything to get your own share of the loot. And guess what it is ok as long as you give 10% or higher to your Pastor or GO or Imam or better still build a cathedral or mosque for your religious faith, purchase a private jet, cars, houses and all sort of ostentatious effects for our clergy, while poverty stare us in our faces everyday. We do not believe in charity except if it is for our churches or mosques.

We are ready to sell our conscience for any piece of silver (At least Judas sold his for 30 pieces). Every Friday & Sunday I watch people attend religious services & come out the same way they entered. This is the reason why countries who are less endowed & religious than we are continue to make progress while we continue to go to churches and mosques to pray for our problems. We are waiting for God or his so-called messengers to perform miracles to solve our numerous problems forgetting the age old adage “God helps those who help themselves”. We even have a Minister of Power- a Professor of Engineering who during his interview told the Senate how he will “fight the demons & witches” who have constituted themselves into a cabal that has sabotaged the Power Sector in Nigeria. Imagine this statement coming from a so called Professor- This tells you the level of hopelessness in this country where all our problems are attributed to one witch in the Village or one demon in our family and we sit & fold our arms waiting for God upstairs to come & “deliver” us, making more silly statements like “God help Us or in God we trust”
Nigeria will never change. If you read books on Nigeria history (which we hardly do in this part of the world) you will understand that all our problems have been there since 1960. Name it Corruption, Ethnicity, Tribalism, Nepotism, Greed, Religious Violence, and we have never sat down to study them and find lasting solutions. Why Because it is not in our individual selfish interests.

The lesson is simple when people sit down and do nothing they cannot expect change to happen like we expect in this country.

This guy will make a successful pastor in Nigeria

Talking about past and present deeds, i still stand by my position: let him propose an alternative whose past and present deeds demonstrate that he is a better candidate

austinkenneth:
This is not balderdash in anyway. He just threw more light on the alternative that many are proposing. In bringing Buhari as an alternative, the above should be taken into account because it is an actual fact.
I'm sure 99% of Nigerian do not know anything about what Soyinka wrote there.
If you're contesting to be the president of Nigeria, All your past and present deeds need to be laid bare.

Balderdash. Let him give us a genuine alternative to squarely face the wholesale corruption that will soon bring this country to its knees.

you are outta ur mind

Capnd143: Leave no stone untouched boys! Ban anything related to terrorism, even if shouting allah arkbar is related, ban it, anyone cought shouting should be shot on sight, anyone with long caftan and overgrowm beards with hungry and scary looks should be shot on sight, anyone that frequents the mosque regurlarly even without reason and carrying a load should be shot on sight, after this is done then we will negotiate with human rights watchdog later!

life_style: when motorcycle is been banned every where..

+ this looks like a lady's machine

Looks like a glorified bicycle.

floriana: God prepared men-o-pause for men. Women stole it and began using it even without changing the name to women-o-pause. Now menopause has become a big problem among women. That is why you have these two Yeye women who have hit menopause fighting publicly over stolen property.

I dont think Patience has hit menopause. She just looks too obese to enjoy $ex

his nostrils look like the wings of a 747 on takeoff

Ozonna:

Your Evil decree is cancelled by fire

It is not an evil decree.

It is just the nature of the way things are done in Nigeria. Check out all the previous promises of jonathan and preceding governments.

And your fire? Well, your interpretation of my statement says it all: you are a delusional zombie.

Why is always " FG to do this, Mobil will do that"? and Never "FG has launched this, fg has finished that"?

MArk my words, the project will be on paper in the next 5 yrs.

If it is the Exxonmobil I know, the only projects they give priority are ones which involve accelerating oil exploitation.
The know our people are corrupt, so they know how to promise and drag their feet, while oil extraction goes on 24/7.

Consumers are usually lured into shitty and/or dubious products and services by expensive advertising.

It is a global phenomenon

TechyGuy:

What are you saying? I lived in the North, a BH state, I know what I'm talking about. The core northerner will "hardly" collaborate with security agencies (seen as enemies) to fight against BH terrorists (seen as brothers).

Put sentiments aside. Where in Nigeria do you think people are ready to give tips to the police?
If the citizens have confidence in the police to fight crime, will they resort to frequent lynchings of suspects?
How many have gotten into trouble for ratting out criminals to the police?
AND AND AND.... How many of those policemen are actually not in cahoots with criminals?

TechyGuy: Following the news and like that of Boston, the people once again collaborated with security operatives to thwart the plot. If only our security operatives get the kind of support from the communities where terrorists have thrived in Nigeria, the security challenges would have been subdued.

You don't get that kind of support from the community when you traumatise them even more than BH.
