blackboy:You guys are all missing the point. Truth is, we all know what we are capable of achieving - individually and collectively. But are we ready? Do we have the political will to proceed? Any student can compare himself with Albert Einstein, or Steven Hawking if he likes, but if he's not ready to sit up and apply himself in school, he'll never achieve anything great. All we do in this country is fight each other. An elected official comes into office. What's the first thing he does? He begins to fight his predecessors, instead of building on the work of those before him, he completely destroys that one's work and begins to build a new one, which he knows fully well he is never going to finish before his tenure ends. The next person after him does exactly the same. At the end we move one step ahead and ten steps backward. In Nigeria all we see are friends and enemies, not working colleagues. When you bring up any developmental issue for discussion, it is immediately reduced to APC vs PDP, Christian vs Muslim, we vs them. No sense of oneness. The Fulani herdsmen are running amock in the North (actually now all over Nigeria now that they're in control of Aso Rock), the Easterners are threatening fire & brimstone, the Niger Deltan militants are watching & waiting for their turn, there's chaos everywhere. The only way to remain sane in all of these, is simply to maintain a neutral stance |

sixtuschimere: OP, tell that man that 82pounds in normal CbN exchange rate in naija is 20k +. Also tell him that he is even over charged because a fuel tank of 100 litres @ current N150 is is 15k far less than what he pays. + my car fuel tank is not upto 100litres. Also tell him that 12kg of gas here is 3k, assume I use 36kg per month which is very very impossible as I use less than 12kg for 2months +, it will still be around 9k, far far less than what he is charged. So, tell that man to shut up. |

doe: Bollinger: The OP post is stupid. And your comment also makes me wonder understand why this country is a mess. The OP says he used to buy petrol at £82 and then next time filled the tank with £55. Assuming he has a 60 litre thank that will be £1.37 per litre at £82 and 0.92p at £55. That is a drop of 0.45p overnight. U.K. Fuel prices only drop in pennies. To drop 0.45p will take over a year. So I can only assume the poster was in prison or away on planet Mars. http://www.petrolprices.com/the-price-of-fuel.html

thesicilian: It's that type of mentality that demonstrates Nigeria will never progress. Nigerians have so much more power than they realize but aren't angry/fed up enough to instill the change they so desperately want to see. Instead, we have people like you who say that we shouldn't compare as a way of not confronting the crippling truths of the state of our land. 1 Like |

What actually happens is this. You have an agreement with British Gas to supply gas for heating & cooking and to supply electricity. You would need to set up a direct debit with them so they can take payment from your bank account. At the first instance, based on how many people are in the house, the type residence i.e house or flat (including number of rooms) and other factors, they estimate a certain amount that you will be paying each month. Every 3 months, they ask you to read your meter and send them the reading via a special app or online. They calculate how much you owe them or how much they owe you based on the reading you submit. If they owe you, they will refund, if you owe them, they will increase the monthly amount you pay to recoup their payment. From time to time, say every six months, they come to your house to read the meter. If they determine that you have been honest in sending correct meter reading, they reduce frequency of coming to read it. Mine hasn't been read now for up to 3 years. If the price of wholesale gas in the world goes down, they may reduce the amount you pay for gas. Now for fuel, the fuel price we pay at the pump can go up or down depending on the price of oil in the global market. Here in the Uk, the pump price is made up of over 60% tax hence it is much more expensive than many countries, but at least we know what they use our tax for and they don't corruptly spend it. |

apatuku: Krismart:They give estimated bills if they are yet to come for physical reading of the manual metres. However, if during physical reading, it's discovered you have been overcharged in the estimated bills, they might give you credit, and you wouldn't have to pay in subsequent month(s) subject to when the credit is exhausted. Note: This doesn't mean that the power company doesn't give spurious and exorbitant bills to a number of unhappy users. |

MrProducer: You spoke putting your brain on hold. Who are you to say "It will never ever happen"? And what senseless, baseless and contradicting point did you give; "Population of 180m and largest economy in Africa"? What's the population of China? What has being black got to do with doing what's right and being honest? Is your own brain black while theirs is white? Is your mind black while theirs is white? Stop being stupid! This as nothing to do with color/creed/race! It's about refusing to sell our birthrights when the opportunity shows itself; refuse to be an Esau, who reduced himself all because of porridge! |

Alani86: You quoted me putting your brain on hold. Didn't you see the part where I said nobody should quote me? Look my friend, I'm entitled to my opinion. At least you made reference to Esau. That's good. You too know what we are really suffering from. False hope and unwillingness to work together as one.. Bonne nuit |

ABSOL10: Quoting Ur intial post about Slavery. Slavery didn't originate with 'whites' nor did it end after it was outlawed in 'white' countries. For example, Muslims began buying and selling large numbers of African slaves 600 years before Europeans did and continued to do so until at least 100 years after. The prevalence of 'white' slavery is also rarely if ever discussed. Between one and one and a half million white European sailors and residents of coastal villages were enslaved by the (Islamic) Barbary pirates. This included many from Britain itself, particularly in Devon and Cornwall. These and other aspects of slavery are rarely, if ever, discussed or debated because it doesn't fit the anti-white agenda. Neither does the fact that it was black (African) tribal leaders who, during military conquests of other tribes or states, captured and enslaved their fellow black Africans then sold them in the slave markets to the highest bidder. With slavery being such a lucrative business wars were often launched with the sole purpose of enslavement in mind. Another source came from within the enslaving societies themselves. Just as Britain disposed of it's convicts, heretics, debtors and ne'er do wells by sending them to the colonies so did the African tribal leaders by selling them as slaves. |
