Cost of governance is too high, perception of corruption too high and Nigeria does not even have a well articulated and publicised economic plan instead they're trying to raise more money for government by taxing the already poor Nigerians. The national poverty level would only continue to increase while the economy shrinks.

Ogbaru, starts from Asaba, goes through Anambra and ends in Rivers state.

Those classifications na scam na, there's no possible way that it can be implemented. Men, the more i don't want to talk
Nigeria, the more issues pushes me
into doing so. I bought Nepa credit
today for my prepaid meter at a rate
of #55 per kilowatthour. I noticed
that the units was exactly half of
what i use to get for the same
amount of money, in other words, our
electricity tariff was increased by
about 100%, i then went online to
check how much kilowatthours of
electricity an average family
consumes in a month, it's 914
kilowatthours, when i multiplied 914
by 55, i got #55,270. In other words,
it would cost an average family #55,
270 a month to get electricity 24/7.
If the family only gets electricity for
6hours a day, then their electricity
bill would be # 12,567.5 per month.
I'm speechless.

Oil Marketers Deny NNPC On N5.35bn Petrol Subsidy Payment
Okechukwu Nnodim, Abuja Oil marketers on Monday expressed surprise over the resurfacing of petrol subsidy in June 2020 as disclosed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation in its latest operations report. According to marketers of petrol, the government had since March this year declared that the downstream oil sector had been deregulated and as such there was no need for petrol subsidy. The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria and the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria told our correspondent in Abuja that they had not received any subsidy payments from government. The PUNCH reported on Monday that NNPC made an under-recovery of N5.35bn in June. Under-recovery is the losses incurred by the oil firm due to the difference between the subsidised price at which the corporation sells petrol and the price which it should have received to meet its production cost. The Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs, Division, NNPC, Kennie Obateru, had explained that the return of under-recovery in June was due to the payment for stock held by marketers at the onset of the removal of subsidy by the Federal Government. “Since the subsidy removal started with reduction in pump price, marketers have been paid the differential of the PPPRA verified stock they held and it is spread over a period of six months,” he said. But the National Public Relations Officer, IPMAN, Ukadike Chinedu, said it was surprising to hear of subsidy payments when the downstream sector had been deregulated. He said, “They didn’t pay us any subsidy money. You are also aware that the market has been deregulated. We are now dispensing products based on international crude oil market price. “Furthermore, you are aware of the price regime and this regime is regulated by the price of crude oil in the international market. So, where is the subsidy coming from?” Chinedu added, “You are also aware that in the months of February, March, April, May and June, the PPPRA released guiding prices for petrol based on price deregulation. So as at what point did the subsidy come in? On whether marketers got any support when the pump price of petrol crashed from over N140 per litre to about N125 per litre some months ago, the IPMAN official said nothing of such happened. Chinedu said, “There is no differential that was paid to us because when they reduced the cost of the product from N145 to N123, they did not pay any differential to anybody. https://punchng.com/oil-marketers- deny-nnpc-on-n5-35bn-petrol- subsidy-payment/

right now, I'm seriously thinking of running away from Nigeria, even if it's to Namibia or Botswana. I'm just tired of everything.

Yahoo Yahoo government.

Good day everyone, please what's the job prospects for someone coming over to Germany to study for a masters degree in Geoinformatics? What can you tell me about university of Muenster? Thanks and remain blessed.

Do traders resume at 7:14 on a normal day?

Onitsha main market opens by 6:45 am while street traders and transporters opens by 5 am(morning mass bell ).

PureMe01:
coming from a deranged pauper.Take your time, borrow money and go to the land of the rising sun and see Riches,not just typing from your Oshogbo brown-roofed hut.

don't mind him, my area at 33 Onitsha is absolutely on lockdown with no vehicular movements.people at home have pumped water from their boreholes for people to fetch for free. many gardens are been tended after yesterday's heavy rain and breeze. everyone is at home but busy. I've got laundry, researching assignment topics for my students, technical books on architecture, and four architectural models etc. we might be at home today but we are definitely been productive. ****

schools in Anambra State are on mid term break so automatically, the education sector have complied with the sit at home order. @op, the Ebonyi state governor is infringing on the fundamental Human Rights of the citizens. say it boldly instead of sugar coating the truth. I suspect your intentions to be bad. ****

God bless Biafra, the land of the rising sun.

the security men are not interested in Fulani bandits, IPOB are the real terrorists.

Nigerian intelligence operatives can't even do a proper propaganda. This is too childish Biko.

the irony is that he said during a supposed Democracy day celebration, how Democratic is that? many would still ignore him.

Thank you bro. I will be ready to go build your house anytime and anyday. We are right now building this same house in another part of the country. Be assured of our readiness to build to your satisfaction. https://www.nairaland.com/4492239/making-akure-5-bedroom-duplex

chairman, congratulations and remain blessed. please, what's the type of paint that you used in this your village mansion?

is OBJ indirectly saying that Buhari is an illiterate? One thing for sure is that, Buhari is outrightly going after his real and perceived enemies that can hurt his chances of winning the presidential election next year.

EngrOYemi:
Watch out for the 2nd method approach

Thanks for the great job you're doing here.

Nigeria have no bright future. why anybody would support the continual existence of this tragedy is beyond my understanding.

meanwhile, their state governor is doing everything possible to support the herdsmen against his own people.

Zoogeria

No referendum, no election. Don't go and die at the polling station over politicians whose children are abroad.

humblenature:


"When the witch cried in the night and the boy dies in the morning, we know who killed him."

Isn't it obvious that the killing rate in Nigeria has increased under the present government?

Sars, Police, army, civil defence, NDLEA, Anti cult, have all been given "shoot at sight" order.

By who? Yes who is the commander in chief of the armed forces?

The nation is in mourning. Who is next?

Pls, I advise everyone listening to be careful and protect your life.

Stay away from law enforcement officers(police,army and others). Don't play , laugh or even talk with them. Just mind your own business, if you must greet, greet and go your way.

Stay alive

you forgot killings from herdsmen.

Biafrans, Biko, no referendum, no election. the bloodshed alone is enough for the wise to stay away from these evil people and their politics.

GavelSlam:
Always down to BMC.

We see pictures of victims, never one of a captured Fulani marauder dead or alive.

We find the military displaying suspects with arms but you insist they are vigilantes.

Where's the proof that vigilantes have the means to defend their communities?

I have given you two real life examples, one from Niger state and the other from the northeast.

GavelSlam:
The local vigilantes that have never caught a single "herdsman" dead or alive.

The way some of you reason sef.

If the local vigilantes have AK47s yet not a single of the murders have been caught then it is safe to say the vigilantes are complicit.

you're the one reasoning like a paid BMC online agent. I was in Niger state two years ago when the Gwari (Gbagi) natives fought off the Fulani herdsmen and went ahead to deal with the soldiers sent to disarm the vigilantes, the same vigilantes are currently fighting as civilian Jtf in the northeast. local vigilantes have proved themselves repeatedly as been better in protecting their homelands than compromised police and military forces.

Did they arrest killer herdsmen or local vigilantes guarding their villages?

products of a failed nation, why should nigerians travel to India to do small and mid level drug dealer runs if their nation offered them deserved opportunities.

Bluecurtain:
From my observation so far, Nigerians see these killings as the normal thing, just few people are voicing out against it. The aggression with which we are calling this menace out is not enough at all.

If it were to be Oyinbo country and just 2 people shot dead by miscreants,, social media would be agog with noise from celebrities, religious leaders, political office holders and Nigerians alike. Thank God for this cardinal though.

You'll see updates and status like

" _pray for Manchester"_

_Feeling sad with Japan_

_Mourning with France_

_Praying and fasting for Germany_

Even to the extent of using these countries flag as dp, cover photo, profile pix etc.

But here back at home,, Fulani herdsmen can wipe out a whole community for all they care.

Nigerians hypocrisy stinks to high heavens.

Nigeria is not a nation and can therefore can never experience nationalism.

TheFreeOne:
Anyone close to Buhari should draw his attention to this breaking news of a herdsman caught with AK-47 in Benue.

His attention is also needed in helping to identify if the terrorist herdsman is from Libya, Niger, Mali or Mars.

I have lost count of Fulani herdsmen caught with AK47 rifles in Enugu state alone that have made the news. Buhari is a blood thirsty vampire.
