Well, even if you break up Nigeria, you will have fuel scarcity UNLESS your new country allows marketers to sell fuel at a profit...so that they can pay transporters, producers of the fuel from crude, a decent price, that helps them make a profit to build adequate domestic refining.
lame excuse..the telecom companies are charging decent fee that allow them to be profitable ...why can't they render the same quality service obtainable in other countries?

But we have better service than we did 20 years ago...plus the service is quality. And we don't pay the highest rate for GSM in Africa. (and Pantami the communications minster has managed to get the price knocked down a bit.)

The truth is that nigerians love to complain instead to apreciate.
They are not ready to take dangerous decision to get best solutions

Partially.

So long as government sets the price of petrol, and so long as the price of petrol is below the landing cost, there is a subsidy in place.

Is Diesel cheap?

Diesel has been deregulated since 2013, alongside kerosene.

It's only PMS that is subsidized.

We need Civil war or Military Take-Over. Lawlessness everywhere. Everybody just dey do anyhow

Nigeria has been reduced to the dregs. We produce oil but lack fuel. We are over-taxed but no development to show for it. If you have a shop in Nigeria, you'll hate this country. You are heavily taxed from the state to the local government, to the “land owners.”

One time LASEPA were distributing their garbage buckets, they'd go to shops who already have trashcans but insist they re-buy theirs or be sanctioned.


The funniest realities on ground now is you'll see POS operators almost outside every banks! And sometimes, when you think of it twice, you'll withdraw from the POS to avoid insult or another misdemeanor.

We complain of racist treatment outside! Aren't we the ones who will employ Whites with BSc to boss over Nigerians with BSc and the Nigerian will be digging tarred roads in the sun while the White will be supervising?


Aren't we the ones ready to fight for Ukraine for free while Boko Haram is there killing the northerners on per seconds check?

Nigeria wey after NYSC, e come bi like say your own hell done start?

Nigeria wey just for common army to pass main road dem do begin flog who dey the road before dem come anyhow?

Country wey pastor get security entourage but dey tell you to ask God for protection?

Country wey dem no want fix steady electricity because they gain from the proceeds of their companies supplying epileptic power while they use big generators to provide 72hrs power supply from money stolen from your taxes?

And all you do is choose who to recycle between Tinubu, Atiku, Obi, and Osibanjo? Same people who have once ruled and still kept the country in damnation?

Dem do una?

Isn't Nigeria a bad dream never to happen again?

Little wonder these politicians beat their chest that you cannot do anything to stop their career! Of course, they can achieve the boast with N1000 bribe distributed to you and a promise to empower you with a bike when they come in. Same bike they will come and ban in the metropolis? Or the same bribe they stole from you...your money?

I was watching a video here how a lawyer was assaulted by, I think civil defense, for going to ask why his client's vehicle was seized. You need to see how he was dragged like a foot-mat without them telling him his wrong! A legal practitioner! The NBA are afraid to talk about it so they won't be penalized. Una don hear about am again? Dem don sanction broadcast agencies not to dare post it again. What do you expect when the judiciary is accountable to the executive and the legislatures puppets?


Little wonder boys dey do ritual here and there. Should I blame them? Never! Country don do am say if you no get money, you no dey exist na. So the boys dey find money, the girls dey find money. So they find it through ritual, fraud, prostitution, or other crimes because the one means of getting money, education, cannot give you money in Nigeria! And check am well, na only politicians get the biggest money because they all do political yahoo yahoo with your taxes. So why are political yahoo yahoo men arresting non-political yahoo yahoo boys?

Let me give you sth to think about:
1. The killer of Umoren Inibong, the job seeker, wetin don do am?
2. Why hasn't Abba Kyari been paraded by the NDLEA as they do to others on national broadcast?


Reason am o.

Make una reason this country o. You have the right to vote any idiot out!

That's the good use of multiparty systems to check the excesses of other parties. They can't rig any election! That's why they need your votes! Your vote counts! Other political parties make sure the election is free and fair! The only way to win is vote! The highest vote wins! E-gladiatorship of politics doesn't win!

Vote out any idiot ruining the country!
Don't vote for relation!
Think about your children!
Think about your welfare!
Even if you are rich, insurgency doesn't give a fvck!
Do not recycle failure; if they didn't do it before, they cannot do otherwise!

Vote sb who wouldn't make graduates look stupid!

Vote sb who'd boost the legal tender!

Stop voting for promises!


Vote the person who is doing well already!

Abi una no know say people una dey call una heroes past na dem spoil the country? Their whatever labour is in vain already!

I see many individuals prefer being nepotistic about who rules them than choosing the right person. Well, in anything you are doing in this life, never let Buhari or anything accepted by Buhari happen to you again.

Choose your future with your cards!

Depends on the income of whoever is buying and what they need it for.

I know, you want to tell me that Nigeria needs to subsidize fuel so that 'we can help the poor' Meanwhile, our subsidizing fuel is one of the things keeping us in debt.

There is no such thing as cheap fuel, or cheap diesel. Harsh as it sounds, the people who are involved in refining it have to be paid and have to earn money also for repairs and upgrades to the machines involved in the process.

It is painful, I don't like it, but it is as it is.


Good morning.

POS business is not an 'oddity' or a sign of poverty. It is a common sight in many African countries.

Even in the UK, you can get something called a 'cashback' where the cashier using a POS at the till helps you withdraw money.

Every country has a similar system. It's the endgame of a increasingly techified world. You can even do all that the POS person does except withdraw physical cash on your android phone, or PC.

Except POS actually stands for Point of Sale - the person holding the POS machine is actually selling something. I agree re cash back. But it's always for a small change - not like going to a bank to withdraw money. And you don't pay a commission for the cash back separately. It's deemed part of the sales transaction. Bottomline is what the POS merchants are using it for in Nigeria (or as you say, all over Africa), that's not the purpose. You actually have to pay a cut throat commission to access & spend your own money. What are the banks for?
