@Post that is half truth.

Okada was banned from running on dual-carrage ways (double lanes). Even at then their are still many bikes I see around.

Keke do not have such limitation. Though some people are rumouring Keke will soon follow the way of Okada. But its not yet official.

The fact remains that your post is false. Join Enugu community at www.facebook.com/thecoalcity

@Poster:
The report states that TODAY the government will SIGN N20k minimum wage - It never state the have been paid.

Allow today to pass, when you receive your next salary and its less than a N20k plan you can then shout. And if the report from SUN NEWS is false soon we will get to know.

Call the Gov. a scam this early will not help your position.

Moreover the only complain we have seen is the delay due to the verification process.

Blackteeth:
Gaddaffi has really dominated Nairaland topics.

For a good reason my dear. If some other persons should condemn Gaddaffi, the Nigeria government should be the least.

Imagine what you can achieve in life as a Nigerian, if you do not pay for a constant electricity, government pays you as a graduate, your wife gets $5,000 for putting to birth, fuel is sold at N19 per litre, government pays you 50% the amount you spend on buying a car of your choice. And many others.

When a man of Gaddafi’s might falls, it is typical of self-taught historians and unpaid political commentators to creep out of the woodwork voicing their opinions based on what they hear through Western media outlets influenced by governments who seek to provide a defense for their interventionist actions in countries around the world.

When Western commentators choose to speak against a man such as Gaddafi, they could be forgiven because to a certain extent they come from countries with functional policies in place and a couple of these countries are better than Libya. What however baffles me is when the Nigerian media, public and political elite who live in a country worse off than Libya spend so much effort speaking against a man who did much more for his country than the thieves in this sector of the hemisphere will ever do for theirs.

If wishes were horses, I would swap Nigeria’s rulers for the last 51 years and hand Nigerians Gaddafi for 42 years, I think we would do considerably better than this visionless progression to nowhere led by the current coterie of brigands we’ve found ourselves with.

Under this bad man called Gaddafi, Libyans had the highest standard of living in Africa. In 2010, the United Nations Development Programme rated Libya as having the highest ranking in its Human Development Index for Africa. In terms of the world, the UNDP HDI statistics considered Libya better than countries such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, Brazil and Turkey.

Nigeria? This nation of Agbada-wearing blind mice masquerading as politicians was rated one of the worst developed nations in the world in terms of the Human Development Indices for both Africa and the world. Countries such as Ghana, Cameroon, Benin Republic, Togo and even poverty-stricken Bangladesh were ranked as better than Nigeria. Even worse, São Tomé and Príncipe that Nigeria donates money to, was said to have a better standard of living than we do.

Gaddafi’s Libya had free health care, interest free loans from banks, free education and subsidized housing. Libyan’s schooling abroad had access to not only finance for their studies but recognition for engaging in scholarly activities. While our university system progressively loses value like termite-infested wood and our graduates can’t even write essays much less books, Libya had a literacy rate of around 90% with women receiving an almost equivalent exposure to education as men. Of course, our rating is somewhere far behind them, even Tanzania and Gabon are doing much better than we are.

Libya’s social welfare programme under Gaddafi cannot be replicated in Nigeria after 51-years of independence, yet here we are talking about Libya and Gaddafi like the nation of hypocrites we are, paupers discussing the price of expensive lace. Petrol in Libya in March this year was the equivalent of 19 Naira per litre, subsidized by Gaddafi’s government without complaint, while in Nigeria successive thieving governments have attempted to yoke the masses into perpetual slavery by increasing the cost of petrol each year, now they are threatening to cut out subsidy and leave us with fuel at 142 Naira per litre next year.

Nigerian refineries catering to 180 million people have a combined installed capacity of less than 460,000 barrels of crude oil per day, yet we’re lucky if we get 75% of this production capacity.

Under Gadaffi, Libya’s production capacity in its refineries was for 378,000 barrels. Their population is 6.4 million people. They only use about 220,000 barrels per day for domestic uses and export the rest.

Of course let’s think of what Gaddafi did for his people in terms of electricity, a Nigerian all-time favourite and comparison metric. Libya under Gaddafi had total installed electric generation capacity of 6,248MW for their 6.4 million people. Nigeria through an organization run by old pensioners growing fat on government salaries claims to have 4,000MW installed but we only see about 3,000MW of this capacity performing for 180 million people.
Y

et today I’ve read more than ten articles written by Nigerians, who write as if Gadaffi personally blew pepper in their eyes. How many Libyan refugees are in Nigeria, how many Nigerians were on forced economic exile were in Libya? What did our own politicians do when the NATO-supported NTC lined up Nigerians and shot them in cold blood in the streets?

Nigerians should kindly find something better to discuss other than Libya and Gaddafi, our case has gone beyond pot calling kettle black to the owner of a 504 Peugeot comparing the cost of spare parts with people who drive Mercedes.

Here is what will happen. Let Oga Presido keep toying with the opportunity granted him.

Beaf:
Its funny how some of us expect refineries to be completed in a few months from the day they were first talked about on the campaign trail. Even if we are biased, let it not be to such abysmally ridiculous levels.
The fact that there is discernable work in such a short time from the campaign promise shows a govt that is resolute about building the new refineries. It is a commendably rapid response to the issues that blight the life of the common man on the street.

You are the one funny really. Buhari built the Warri and Kaduna refineries when he was the petroleum minister, partly expanded PH old refinery, initiated the built of PH new refinery in 1985 when he was head of State.

And why should the Zoologist tell us about it if he do not have plans for it?

Buhari built the Warri and Kaduna refineries when he was the petroleum minister, partly expanded PH old refinery, initiated the built of PH new refinery in 1985 when he was Head of State.

Instead of removing subsidy and making life difficult for the masses, the Government can repair and build new refineries. So that we will not have any need for importing the fuel we use in the first place.

Is there anyone who knows how much it will cost to build a new Refinery?

remark D:
Abegi, you guys should free Seun. I've seen lots of times people post that "oh i heard this and that, here and there, someone should confirm this please"i do find most of them annoying for some reasons, so/but wanting to nail Seun to the cross for this, is not necessary, y'all.

Odunnu, how are you doing? any plans this weekend?

Hope you will say the same when some people rumour about your family members death or accident? The truth won't kill you guy.

Odunnu:
Thank God the bomb didnt explode. Thank God our anti-bomb squad was efficient this one time, thank God its not in the major newspaper, thank God no death or casualty. Thank God some think its a rumour, lets move on to the next news please.

Actually there was no bomb in the first place. The post is false. Enugu people, friends and residence demand an apology. Cheers! www.facebook.com/thecoalcity

Seun this is very shame - the fact you are responsible for sprading such rumour. I expect you to tender appology to the good peace loving people of Enugu.
