If God loves nigeria at all, why dafuck aint we like UAE?

Abegii!

that one is on our leaders, we hv been given what we need to even be better than UAE, we have misused it

Most bloggers, forget to add the share button or perhaps add too many share buttons. Some network sites are irrelevant to us here in Nigeria. Only add the relevant ones like fb, twitter, whatsapp, google plus etc.



Also to add to the post of too many texts, this is very true, always leave space between paragraphs like i have done above, some how, the mind find such write up easier to read than the ones without spaces

Take a look at the scenario of rice, if the ban on the importation of rice remains, locally made rice will start selling at #21k when the demand in the market reaches a peak, but if it is lifted, the decision to buy locally made rice of 10k, and the imported one of 21k is solely your choice keeping a steady price for the locally produced rice..

This may be a bad decision because it will put more pressure on the Niara when we start the importation of this products without any much means of sourcing for more dollars in the economy. Anyways we are watching this development if the government will not end up making a U turn because of lack of dollars to import this product!!!

the decision will also ease the pressure for demand of the items in the local market hereby curbing inflation. It can be a good thing if you consider the current state of the naira will shoot extravagantly the cost of imported items hereby keeping the cost of locally made ones steady. So as a consumer, it is left for you to purchase the locally made products at a reasonable price, or go for the imported ones at a very high price. Consequently, i urge the government to increase the tax on luxury goods by 200%. At this point Nigerians need to start spending on what they need and not what they want

2 questions i will like to ask, pls reasonable answers only, 1. Why did they refer to her as a victim and not a suspect 2. What are female suicide bombers brainwashed with ?, we know their male counterparts are promised a mansion in heaven filled with 40 virgins

There is every possibility that sm group of people hv received help multiple times without rendering help. I agree with the OP, this is whr the scam comes in....

so cos I bleeped...I shudnt pray??...u gonna tell me dah u dnt pray evn wen u a sinner...I want advice nt judgement

you obviously do not love your boyfriend, maybe you think you do becos u get lonely when he is nt around, he makes u smile and u think of him always, but you dont love him, you are only fond of him. This is why i said so...

The secret ingredient to sex is love. God that created sex made it this way, if you love someone, you would equally want to have sex with them always and not just want to please them. Secondly, everybody sexually activeness is not the same, some ppl will prefer to have sex once in 3months, others once a month, some once a week, while some are once every hour, our body types are not the same, u need to understand his body and your body, and find common grounds otherwise you will continue to have issues, just walk if you guys cant reach an agreement. Thirdly, u shud be happy he even still fights to hv sex with you, other guys will simply just start cheating and having affairs else while, and before you know it, you will be the one begging for his attention

These 10 countries that are running out of oil will face serious problems down the road unless new reserves are found and tapped into.

shutterstock_366656231-750x500

For a while now, you can scarcely hear the term peak oil, which was widely used in the past to describe the end of the cheap oil era. For a while, it seemed that we are running out of oil, with the price exceeding $100 per barrel. But then United States shoal revolution got into the high gear, and prices came tumbling down, falling for a while below $40 threshold. For many oil producers, this is hardly enough to keep operating, and for many oil producing countries, especially those in OPEC, low oil prices are creating havoc in governments’ budgets. Still, any call for decreased production in order to bump up the price within the organization has been met with a resolute no from Saudi Arabia, a key player on the market. Determined to force US shoal oil producers into extinction by flooding the market with their oil, Riyadh is confident that it can weather the storm of fiscal deficit. Other countries aren’t that eager to test their limits, especially Russia, but there’s little they can do.

shutterstock_127132946-750x500

Current low prices are driving the consumption through the roof, and countries like China and India are yet to reach their peak consumption. Both of these countries are still using far less oil per capita than Western countries, but the gap is getting smaller every year. With their limited reserves and production, they are heavily dependent on imported oil and will be even more so in the future. The current paradox of increased demand and falling prices can’t hold for much longer, and when the market corrects itself, there will be some serious consequences, especially for countries that are running out of oil.

In order to create this list, we used data from OPEC 2016 Annual Statistical Bulletin. For each country on the list, we supplied production, proven reserves, estimated time frame when they will run out of oil and imports. Interestingly enough, even some of the countries that produce the most oil are at risk of running out of it.

10. Brazil

Production (1,000 b/d): 2,437.3
Proven reserves (millions of barrels): 16,184
Years of production left at current level: 18 years
2015 import of crude oil (1,000 b/d): 251.7
2015 import of petroleum products (1,000 b/d): 556.6

We kick off with Brazil. South America’s largest economy needs a lot of oil to fuel its growth. Fortunately for Brazil, there’s plenty of domestic oil production to meet the demand. They do import plenty of refined fuel and even some crude oil, but overall production far outpaces the imports.



9. China

Production (1,000 b/d): 4,273.7
Proven reserves (millions of barrels): 25,132
Years of production left at current level: 16 years
2015 import of crude oil (1,000 b/d): 6,730.9
2015 import of petroleum products (1,000 b/d): 1,150.9

China is slowly stepping into the role the United States played in the 1970s and 1980s, that of a glutinous oil-hungry behemoth bent on getting its oil wherever and however possible. With its domestic production peaking in 2015 and on a decline and record high crude oil imports, China is facing a strategic problem of oil dependency, one that will not be easy to solve. The recent warming up of Sino-Russian relations is aimed as a part of the solution, among other things, like an attempt to curb the American influence.



8. Malaysia

Production (1,000 b/d): 665.0
Proven reserves (millions of barrels): 3,750
Years of production left at current level: 14 years
2015 import of crude oil (1,000 b/d): –
2015 import of petroleum products (1,000 b/d): –

The first of only three countries on our list that doesn’t import either crude oil or petroleum products. Malaysia’s oil production is sufficient for domestic needs, with plenty remaining for exports, but when those wells dry up, some adjustment will be needed for the transition to imported oil.

7. Angola

Production (1,000 b/d): 1,767.1
Proven reserves (millions of barrels): 9,524
Years of production left at current level: 14 years
2015 import of crude oil (1,000 b/d): –
2015 import of petroleum products (1,000 b/d): 134.5

Angola’s economy is heavily dependent on oil production. In 2004, 80% of the government’s budget came from oil production taxes. In the same year, the oil industry was responsible for 45% of country’s GDP. While Angola’s oil reserves are plentiful, they aren’t infinite, and some hard steps will be needed to reduce country’s dependence on the oil industry.
6. Indonesia

Production (1,000 b/d): 690.1
Proven reserves (millions of barrels): 3,230
Years of production left at current level: 12 years
2015 import of crude oil (1,000 b/d): 374.4
2015 import of petroleum products (1,000 b/d): 506.0

Indonesia has been one of the larger oil exporters back in the 1980s, but have since then turned into a net importer, due to increased domestic consumption. It does have a significant potential for increased production, with many unexplored oil basins around the country.
5. Mexico

Production (1,000 b/d): 2,266.8
Proven reserves (millions of barrels): 9,711
Years of production left at current level: 11 years
2015 import of crude oil (1,000 b/d): –
2015 import of petroleum products (1,000 b/d): 712.9

Mexico’s oil production is in decline and the country produced 200,000 barrels per day less in 2015 than it did in 2011. The current level of 2.2 million barrels is a far cry from 2006’s 3.7 million barrels and status of world’s seventh largest oil producer. In order to maintain productivity in one of the largest oil fields in the world, Pemex has been injecting nitrogen into the giant Cantarell Field. This massive operation was consuming half of the world’s nitrogen production at one point. The results were impressive but short-lived. The decline in oil production is causing severe fiscal problems for the Mexican government, which will require some creative thinking to solve.oil-rig-514035_1920-750x422
4. United States

Production (1,000 b/d): 9,430.8
Proven reserves (millions of barrels): 36,385
Years of production left at current level: 10 years
2015 import of crude oil (1,000 b/d): 7,351.0
2015 import of petroleum products (1,000 b/d): 2,050.0

The United States oil reserves are a somewhat controversial topic. The proven reserves of some 36 billion barrels are the highest in United States history. However, in their Statistical Review of World Energy published in June 2016, BP claims that the figure is actually 55 billion. To complicate things further, there are large reserves of oil and natural gas in Outer Continental Shelf, estimated between 66.6 and 115.1 billion barrels, which are currently off limits to oil companies due to US legislation. When all of this is put together, United States have the largest oil reserves in the world, easily surpassing those of Saudi Arabia and Russia and have no business being among the top 10 countries that are running out of oil. However, we decided to go with the OPEC and US Energy Information Administration numbers, since they represent the only proven amount.

3. Norway

Production (1,000 b/d): 1,567.4
Proven reserves (millions of barrels): 5,139
Years of production left at current level: 8 years
2015 import of crude oil (1,000 b/d): –
2015 import of petroleum products (1,000 b/d): –

The third place on our list of 10 countries that are running out of oil goes to Norway. The smallest country on the list exports 8 times more oil and natural gas than it consumes. Unlike the other countries, Norway is actively preparing for the day when their oil runs out, investing a large part of oil income into a fund colloquially known as The Oil Fund. The fund is the largest stock owner in Europe and currently, owns 1% of all global commodities.
2. United Kingdom

Production (1,000 b/d): 879.7
Proven reserves (millions of barrels): 2,755
Years of production left at current level: 8 years
2015 import of crude oil (1,000 b/d): 856.2
2015 import of petroleum products (1,000 b/d): 652.4

After a short stagnation period between 2012 and 2014, United Kingdom’s oil production seems to be ramping up again. OPEC estimates that production in 2015 has been increased by more than 13% compared to 2014. With the expected start of exploitation of Mariner oilfield in 2018, the figure should remain stable, despite the depletion of oil fields currently in use. However, UK’s problems aren’t geological, but rather political. With the unexpected vote on Brexit, there are renewed clamoring for Scottish independence, which could bring up the issue of ownership of North Sea oil fields.

1. Colombia

Production (1,000 b/d): 1,005.6
Proven reserves (millions of barrels): 2,308
Years of production left at current level: 6 years
2015 import of crude oil (1,000 b/d): –
2015 import of petroleum products (1,000 b/d): –

Another country on our list that doesn’t import oil is Colombia. Oil exports play a significant role in country’s fiscal policy, accounting for some 20% of all exports. Almost all of the exported oil goes to the United States. As the peace deal between the government and FARC has been signed, a substantial space for increased production has been opened. Country’s rural region, previously off limit to explorers, could also hold many potential oil fields, which would hopefully increase Colombia’s energy stability. With years of production left at the current level estimated at six, Colombia is on top of this list of 10 countries that are running out of oil.

According to popular website Health Groove – a health visualisation site by Graphiq, Nigeria Has been Rate as the 15th most dangerous country to travel to in the world. The site explained that it compiled the list using the 2016 data from the Canadian government and The Global Health Data Exchange. It also went further to state that:

“The Canadian Travel Advice and Advisories data comprises four major categories — “exercise normal security precautions,” “exercise a high degree of caution,” “avoid nonessential travel” and “avoid all travel.” HealthGrove’s list includes countries with at least an “exercise a high degree of caution” rating or higher and nations are ranked by worsening travel advisories. Ties were broken by using the Travel Mortality Index, which provides an aggregate score representing the likelihood of death caused by travelling to a given country. The higher the index, the higher the probability of traveller death. The causes of death in the Index vary from diseases like Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS to causes like “interpersonal violence,” “exposure to forces of nature,” “collective violence” and “legal intervention.” The variation in causes explains why you’ll see France, for example, with a score (116.2), which is separated from that of Honduras (120.4) by only a few points”

It is in this regards that Nigeria takes the position of 15th out of the 118 countries that were rated. Ghana was rated 52nd with a Travel Advisory of Exercise a high degree of caution and a Travel Mortality Score of 295.4, Benin republic followed at the 51st position with a Travel Advisory of Exercise a high degree of caution and a Travel Mortality Score of 308.6, Kenya came is at 45th with a Travel Advisory of Exercise a high degree of caution (with regional advisories) and a Travel Mortality Score of 381.6, cameroon pitched its tent at 32nd with a Travel Advisory of Exercise a high degree of caution (with regional advisories) and a Travel Mortality Score of 526.8, while South Africa was rated 28th with a Travel Advisory of Exercise a high degree of caution and a Travel Mortality Score of 681.8, Sudan beat Nigeria 5 points to be rated at 20th with a Travel Advisory of Avoid non-essential travel (with regional advisories) and a Travel Mortality Score of 144.9.

[b]Congrats

But why always cartons of INDOMIE?

Its easy to share and cook i guess... i can say that nothing you give those people can ever be enough, but at the same time, nothing is too small, they will appreciate even one sachet of #10 milk. our government has alot to repair in this country

She wasnt alone too, she was accompanied by handsome Me - CEO, Wireless Impact Media, Editor - Poise and Class Magazine, Media - Brendance and Crusaders Limited.. also on the train was Miss Silver Ezenezi - Miss Nigeria International 2016, Mr Micheal Mba - Business Manager, brendance and Crusaders limited, Mr Prebai - Media Director - Brendance and Crusader Limited and a family member.

she was having so much fun with kids, she made us spend an extra hour beyond our schedule, and the kids loved her charm too they didnt want her to leave...

Few weeks ago while having a discussion with a friend and the first runner up of the prestigious Mr and Miss Nigeria International beauty pageant 2016 - Miss Amoo Zainab Opeyemi, I asked her about her birthday which was few weeks away, and where she would like to turn up so that we can pop something (bottoms up, you now, that kind thing), she stared at me with a warm smile and said,

"Actually, i have been thinking Ayo. I will love to spend it with those that have no reason to look forward to a birthday, those that will remember for 5 life times for giving them a reason to smile"

Today, 8 November, 2016, has finally come, and the vibrant beauty queen turned up indeed, not at a club but at the very heart of ebute meta - the home for the destitute, she stormed the heartbreaking environment with a lot of gifts ad donations to the home. Residence of the home gathered around her and rained prayers upon the queen for remembering them. It was indeed a touching sight to behold as she mingled and played freely with the kids, i could only wonder, i couldnt take off my glasses to prevent anyone from seeing my tears filled eyes. today, I will like to say forgive me almighty God if i have ever been ungrateful in anyway through my words, actions or thoughts. Today, i will like to say i am very happy for your mercy in my life, it is not like i am better, it is by your grace only I have totally forgotten that some people still live this way.


In celebration of the birthday of an angel on earth, Miss Amoo Zainab - Miss Nigeria International Africa 2016 and the support from the entire crew at brendance and crusaders limited, we paid a visit to the home for the destitute, oko baba. What i witnessed changed my view about life. Thank you lord for helping us to help others, only you deserve all the glory. God bless the celebrant and strengthen her with wisdom to do more for humanity. see pictures below...
