Una dey see wetin I dey see abi na my eyes dey pain me?
Everyone from Northern Nigeria,(especially the core north) is begging FG not to send troops to Nigér republic following the coup. These same people that constantly threaten the people of South East with WAR at any mention of PEACEFUL REFERENDUM or even PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION are now begging FG to embrace peace, dialogue and to adopt diplomatic measures for Nigér Republique.
Does it mean that Northerners are happy to wage war against their "fellow Nigerians" but preach peaceful resolution when external conflicts are involved? Does it mean that they understand how costly it becomes when combatant boots are placed on anyone's backyard? Don't we still have "our pride" the gallant Nigerian Army? Wonders shall never end.
Maybe, this is renewed hope we have been waiting for. I hope Northern Nigeria will continue to adopt this same strategy both home and abroad from now henceforth. Ositadinma,... |

colossus91: So I currently work as a system admin in a new generation bank where I earn almost 500k while also having a side hustle that pays me 400dollrs monthly, I’m thinking of relocating as my sis and her husband have been on my case to migrate, I am in my early 30 no serious relationship just figuring if japa is the way cos my remote job actually pays me better if I’m here than leaving just need advice on this. Once you're over 20-24 years and you relocate abroad, you're not doing so for your comfort but for the benefit of your offsprings. Ever wondered why immigration is extremely easy for children and made very difficult for adults? This is because, to them (Oyinbos) you've lived the most important part of your life in your homeland (CHILDHOOD/TEENAGE). They indoctrinate, mold, educate, train and shape the career of people here from a very young age. Except you're a special talent back home and continuing with your career after immigration (programmers, nurses, experienced doctors), your "new country" don't really know how "USEFUL" you'd be at this point in your life. All they see is LIABILITY or at most, a GAMBLE. This is why they will happily offer important and strategic job openings, financial assistance, or social acceptance to "home born /home grown" immigrants before other categories. With all these said, make the move. Swim against this tide. Create a base for your children so that they won't start where you started. They will be grateful that you started their lives on a better footing. I hope this is simple enough for anyone to understand. Peace off. |

Family › Re: 38 Years Old, 40k Salary, 5 Children Living In One Room by Aguogba(m): 7:42pm On Jul 20, 2023 |
ConfusePoint: Ranting. Ranting. Ranting.
I have decided to rant out my predicaments on this forum today.
What is the way out of poverty for me?
One inlaw is even living with us, making it 8 in number, all in one room.
This thing don come big pass me.
I know most of you here would blame me for impregnating a woman to give birth to that number of children but then, life is life. It happens like that sometimes.
They say a poor man's prayer is "e go better" but instead of things to get better in Nigeria, everyday things get worse.
Truth is, except I drive myself out of this mess to a better life for me and my children, this poverty that is so stricken will likely be extended to my children, which I really don't want.
No two ways about it except ...
But like a car without tyres, can it move even if it has fuel? Definitely no.
For 4 days now, I sleep outside in an abandoned car because of financial war at home. I can't go back home and I even feel like never to go back there but should I abandon them like that and run away? To where?
When I went to the market the other day with 5k to buy food items for the house, I was crying and talking to myself on my way back because I came back with almost nothing.
Nigeria have succeed to plug life out of poor Nigerians. The poor cannot breathe again. Let's die and go.
Advice: never give birth when you are not financially strong. Unfortunately, I've learned my lesson the hard way.
Life happens.
How do I help this family better than I am trying?
Wishing you the best in all you do. Who did your family vote for in the last election and how has your life been after elections? This is what I have been asking complainants since 2015. |

nairalanda1: So you want a leader that will bring back cheap fuel?
Cheap fuel has not benefited our economy. At all. It is why we don't have working refineries, why we even have inflation and deficits.
Fuel costs money to refine. Subsidy removal was not planned, it was abrupt and you know it. Maybe Atiku or Obi would have approached it differently. Talk about having a functional govt- owned refinary, ot having significantly improved power supply before subsidy removal. |

And now, like Orji Uzor Kalu, he can’t stop crying 🤣.
But there’s another who will soon join them in their infamous crying club.
His name is Charles Soludo.
Like Chimaroke, he has set sail on the road to slaughter.
And like they did to Chimaroke, Tinubu Owambe boys have been cheering him.
He forgets that when time comes, not even the entire battalion of the Nigerian Army can save him.
He can go ask Andy Uba who the detachment of the entire security but still came third.

Car Talk › Re: The Effect Of Fuel Subsidy Removal On The Prices Of Cars by Aguogba(m): 6:08pm On Jun 06, 2023 |
zeenaman: Personal opinion:
The relationship between cars and Petrol is complementary in nature. Complementary in the sense that, one is needed to augment the other, just like garri and kulikuli.
Going by basic economics principle, there is an inverse price relationship between complementary goods i.e an increase in the price of one results in decrease in the demand for the other. With this, it is conceivable that with increase in the price of petroleum, there will be less demand for cars, hence result in price crash occasioned by excess supply over demand.
Also, from the angle of the Federal government, the rich benefit more from the subsidy. People with ten cars will now find it unfunny fueling the convoy, and this may result in selling off some of the vehicles. This should further increase the supply of cars and drive down the price.
Let's talk about this, do you see the price of cars crashing? Let's leave out the Nigerian factor, corruption and base our argument on fact. All these your economic theories are correct IF supply (production and assembly) of cars is mainly LOCAL. As long as the bulk of cars we drive is imported, the reduction in price will only be felt on "Naija used". Brand new and Toks will still depend on exchange rate and import duty. The spillover effect of cheaper naira used will be insignificant. |

maasoap: Long story. The price you buy determines the price you sell. They're selling subsidised petrol at 500/L. If you go back and buy 450/L now, you're free to determine what price you will sell to make profit. Did you read the calculations at all?  I am telling you something practical and you are talking about some phantom theories that don't work in real life. Well to educate further, the only 2 options that the dealer can adopt to make profit out of this scenario is to 1. Sell at the higher price (maybe 450 naira per litre) and quit the business and join another one, e.g building materials 2. Sell at the higher price, put his capital in the bank and hopes the subsidy removal is reversed or that depot price goes way below that selling price (450 naira/L) through competition then he starts same business again. This is the same law that guides stock trading. Thank me later for these nuggets.  |

maasoap: Why would you buy at 2500 naira and sell at 2000 naira
You don't know your Maths at all. The price you buy determines the price you sell. You bought N170 per litre and sell N450 per litre, you already made your profit. If you go back and buy at N500 per litre, you won't come back and sell at N450/L. So my friend, why would you say anyone who bought subsidised petrol and selling N500/L now doesn't make profit? Go back to school Your response is the shallowest I've gotten in my life. Wetin you no Sabi pass you. If you need business education, go and do apprenticeship. I won't educate you for free. |

Go back to school Lol. Now i know why a lot of people fail in business. To make it clear like ABC to you like a JJC that you are. Assume you got a loan to start petroleum retail. You rented a station everything is in place. You used your capital and bought A SINGLE TANKER of petrol as at May 25th for 175/L ×33,000 (5,775,000) . Normally you would sell for 220/L and make profit of 45/L (profit is 1,485,000 ) Now after 29th May, subsidy is removed. As novice wey u be, u rush sell that product for 450/L. For your "Olodo" mind u don hammer be that. Na to go price land for a new station. 450×33,000 =14,850,000. (profit is 9,075,000 abi) Then you go to depot to buy ANOTHER SINGLE TANKER of 33,000 litres of petrol and they tell you Depot price is 480/L 480×33,000= 15,840,000. Now answer me, did you MAKE PROFIT?  |

priceactionx: so pe otilo I learnt that this is how many of these fuel cabals operate to cheat the government. Some get access to oil blocks ( but cant refine the crude oils) so they ship it and sell it to their cronies that have a lot of stakes in modular refineries abroad, in which they import it back to nigeria at a subsidized rates being paid by the government. So virtually carrying nigerian crude oil abroad to refine, and sell it far higher than even the supposed money without the subsidy, yet come back, claim subsidies, making monies in multiple ways, claiming they are multi billionaire , forbes this, forbes that. If you look well, they are same people behind all these forex and dollar manipulations. My fear is that until i see this new government encouraging and commisioning modular refineries after maximum, let's say, 2 years of this price adjustments in each region, and selling crude oil at local price in naira directly , simuteneoulsy, to the operators, things may be getting worse. If i remember, Tinubu said he would waive a lot of taxes for investors that want to be part of oil industry revolutions, so that they get waivers to subsidize the price and improve employments to the citizen if elected, ( cos he himself is an oil expert and know much of the industry) BUT CAN WE Really TRUST POLITICIANS in nigeria? Will they allow him to work?
Do we, nigerians have that patience? DONT WE, as a citizens like cutting corners just look at how filling stations sky rockets their prices overnights over the stock they have at hand? Drop gas price by 10 naira and you will hear them saying they have never seen any official letters. It will take them 2 months to adjust. Same thing should be aplicable to all other sectors especially agricultural sector, region by region ,which i also believe that shetimma is also an expert in that sector and can handle that. Revolutionise and encourage mechanized farming and let the price of basic food fall and avoidable. I dont know if it is practicable or possible. i just dont know. Make I ask you this. If you go to poultry farm and BUY 1 crate of egg at 1k to SELL AT 1500 and on your way back, you hear that purchase price is now 2k to sell 2500. Do you think that you will make profit even if you sell that one you bought for 2k? These are simple knowledge that business people possess that even learned people outside the business community don't easily understand. You have to be involved to understand what they know. This singular example I gave you above is a tip of the iceberg. It is one of the reasons that inexperienced people lose their capital and fold up through bankruptcy. They do not know economic secrets that guide businesses. That is why Igbos do "NWABOY" or apprenticeship for every branch of business. When you prove yourself worthy, Oga go leak some of these priceless secrets to you. Dem no dey teach am for school. Coming back to the subject, a petroleum dealer that bought his PMS (petrol) for e.g 170/L cannot make profit even if he sells each litre for 450naira. The ONLY way he can make profit and remain in business is to sell at his NORMAL margin ON TOP of the current (EX DEPOT) pump price. Unfortunately, this price is not yet fixed by FG /NNPC, PPMC So, most marketers, as it stands, will prefer to LOCK UP their stations pending official depot price release. Those that want to GAMBLE can only afford to sell at a margin of e.g 10-15 Naira above NNPC station prices for each state. That's the only way they stay in business irrespective of how much they bought the fuel that they have now. Remember, they will have to buy another consignment after selling what they have. |
