Kanade21:
Well, here is the explanation

At the time , in 2016, fuel was selling at N87 per liter., meanwhile it cost N132 to import that one liter of fuel.
Also in 2016, as oil prices were now at $30 per barrel, the revenue for paying for subsidy was also very low.

So, government raised the price to N145, thus ending the subsidy..for then...till import costs shot up to N150, then 200 per liter today.
What government does now, is have NNPC import fuel at N200, sell at N137 to depot..and pays NNPC part of the difference, while NNPC makes up the rest.

And that is why fuel is at N145 per liter.

As for why we cannot improve refining capacity

1.Danogte is building a refinery...as are two other guys.

2.Most people don't want to build refineries because the cost of refining one liter of fuel here in Nigeria is more than N145. (Even Dangote is looking to exporting to make up any loss from selling fuel at home).

NOTE

GEJ did something similar...in 2011...raising fuel from N65 to N140, with a landing cost of N99 per liter before protests caused him to knock it down to N97 and then to N87...while landing costs kept on rising.

from ur write up
low crude price didnt favour us
high crude price didnt favour us...

what is the way out or are we going to continue economic rigmarole

Kanade21:
As stated elsewhere....remove fuel subsidy, allow marketers to set the price, and watch as all this smuggling ceases.

Because fuel costs
N386 in Cameroon.
N328 IN Benin
N350 in Niger
So, why won't a smuggler buy fuel at N137 from depot and smuggle it across the broder...

If subsidy goes, the smuggling would go too.

how many times will they remove subsidy?
if not , what was the reason given for the increase from N87 to N145

Oponu ni bobi yi sha.

Let me simplify it for you

Activity 1 :You claimed you have seen "video" evidence that all the women caught so far are indeed Yorubas.

Activity 2: I asked you to provide evidence

Activity 3: You provided three links that led to one source without showing any videos as you claimed.

Activity 4: You started to write mumbo jumbo that does not correlate with our previous discussion.

Please provide me a link where I can actually watch the video you claimed you watched

Simple as Abc

Simple enough for you

tribalism is not good
support humanity not tribe

there is hunger everywhere

Iamgrey5:
How?

You can tell by pictures

Aren't Yoruba women" dark and ugly again". based on your well defined twisted narrative. The second woman is obviously light skin

Again no tribal marks !

that one bleached

Sirjamo:
Both third term and northern agenda ( if any) will crumble like a pack of cards.
I don't have any regret with kicking out Jonathan/PDP and bringing in Buhari/APC, it was the right thing to do at the time. Nigeria was bleeding badly from the multiple stab wounds inflicted on it by the PDP and Buhari was/is the right person to stop it from bleeding to death.

When Buhari finishes, its will be the turn of the south (South west specifically), to continue from where he would stop.If any northern cabal try to play smart, then, the APC should be ready to kiss the Aso Rock good bye for the next 300 years!!!!

the northern agenda can only materialize if the SW contests in 2023

Monogamy:
Ikpeazu shouldn't have won his reelections if you guys are serious.. I am from SW, no Senators or house of reps have ever served than 2 terms from my constituency..

The rate of improvements might be low but we are still passing a message to them that if you don't perform we wont for you next tine

its part of the freedom igbos are fighting for, most of these people are not popular
when a governor has abuja connection he can win elections with few local support

just support igbos to be free

Patrioticman007:
.

What of the Christianity that the English gave southern Nigeria, is that part of the transaction ?. As such Christianity can never be a religion in Nigeria, going by your statement analogy. Ipobians spotted.

christianity is in the bible but not nigeria

Monogamy:
Because of their political irrelevant... Igbo's should have asked their governors, senators, house of reps members what they are doing with the resources in their capacity.. Same as other region though only that they have it a little bit better than Igbo

am talking about freedom here not resources

btw, have u forgotten that u people will attack us if we try to deal with our leaders, so stop telling us to ask our leaders anything- ekweremadu as a case study

StaffofOrayan:
Una don start this early morning!
No be Osinbanjo and Fulani that wants to use and dump him again?
Now na Tinubu vs VP

must it be one story?
all join

Monogamy:
All regions are being cheated by the politicians.. The question is for how long are we going to allow the politicians to be cheating us?

i dont think so, if not why is it only the igbos that want freedom

Monogamy:
Only if the young easterners are ready to learn about the implications of war

you people should also learn the implications of cheating the easterners in every sphere of the nigerian project

niaralandtopuser:
it will happen when everyone see what the north is up to

i wish for a restructured country instead but if not then disintegration because we can never , i repeat never grow like this. the world will always leave us behind
janjaban that was shouting restructuring is now mute now that he has influence
most of my SW friends including the educated ones dont want disintegration, they also dont want hausas to continue ruling, they are indifferent to restructuring, they dont want nigeria to remain like this, they dont want igbos to rule, they dont want regional govt. they are just confused
the one i interacted with recently simply told me the truth that they dont want disintegration because they dont have oil
its a tough situation.
i just wish nigeria the best

plaindealer:
I though Yoruba people are Hausa slaves for doing it with the North, is your turn to turn slaves too?

Tribalism, confusion and hypocrisy just can't let you people see road..

being slaves to hausas have favored u people
we want to copy u people for political sophistication

niaralandtopuser:
I rather pray for disintegration and a northern presidency may help achieve that

there will be no disintegration if there is no agreement and cooperation in the south.
with what am seeing it will be very difficult

niaralandtopuser:
a 2023 northern presidency will teach the south an important lesson.

yeah, all thanks to the greedy SW region
let us just pray for a good northern leader since there is no cooperation in the south

niaralandtopuser:
I prefer a northern presidency

may God in his infinite mercies give us a good one that will move the country forward

plaindealer:
Election and politics is not a case of it's my turn or your turn, it's about doing the hard politicking work, reaching out, forming alliances and strategies, this is what the North and the SW did and something the SE must do instead of sitting and shouting it's my turn it's my turn..

dont worry, if thats the case we will do it with the north the same way u people did in 2015

niaralandtopuser:
but the East will prefer a northerner if it means stopping a west presidency

but why is the west also bent on stopping an eastern presidency after we have paid our dues to them

congrats baby

efighter:
The one your competent drunk ineffectual buffoon brother Goatluck Jonaddaft did for the wasted years he was president.

your write like an unlettered person
pls quit public forum discussions

nice one

PearlStreet:
Hope you know that he used beans water to illustrate how 'dirty' local rice is?

Don't look like a fool simply because you want to support an idiot.

zombie - why must the rice be dirty in the first place, are we supposed to have stony rice in the market? i ate one recently i had to go outside so i can be disposing the stones easily, i couldnt continue with the food , i had to stop angrily
instead of u to call govt and its agencies to be alive to their responsibilities u are here attacking the messenger

dont point any good local rice rice to me, or who are u people reserving the stony ones for, is it not the same nigerians that will eat it
dont we deserve good things?
nigerians are the only people in the whole wide world that prays and supports their oppressors
the oppressed in nigeria are very good in digging out excuses for any wrong doings of the govt

Endtimebro:
Why must he look for the dirty one. Are u telling me that he hasn't seen a clean local rice?

why must a dirty one exist in the first place
what is the work of the govt or is it SON or NAFDAC - whichever?
why not standardize all the local rice to avoid such complains

nigerians and fake patriotism eeh
we and suffering and smiling na 5&6

madridguy:
The Southerner always look for avenue to insult the Northerners. English is just language for communication so why throwing tantrum against each other over borrow language. Many Nigerians cannot speak their local dialect yet they see foreign language as the alpha and omega.

Kudos to Victoria Abdul Malik and Mr Abubakar Champion.

who forced him to speak a borrowed language

ArcFresky:
Dude, its not just about blocking the border, its about stopping the importation of goods that can be produced locally.

goods like what and what

Honor10:
And u think dz make sense. Chai. Go and prepare for ur waec. This i s beyond u

u are just comfortable raining abuses without countering any of my claims with reasons.
am not surprised, i know u are one of those zombies supporting border closure without any intellectual reasons

you are intellectually bereft

ArcFresky:
Lol, Yemi Osibanjos polling booth is filled with Igbo men who make their fortune importing stuff....Buhari blocked importation.... Who else would they vote for?

blocked border without any vision just propaganda . and the propaganda is working on the youths.
i was surprised people are celebrating border because they think Ghana is suffering , not minding how they themselves are suffering it without any plan from the govt. for remedy

Honor10:
This ur blackmail won't work. Prepare to lick the ass of ur Fulani masters in 2023, but SW is going for the presidency, deal with it.

blackmail or truth?
its not about contesting , its about winning and what ur plans for the country is, we cant continue to be branded a shithole because of u people
my region is uncomfortable with being a shithole citizen.
we can only accept to be shitholes with northern rulership but not with southwest

Andhominem:
The land can only be leased to them especially those who are not Yoruba...

I sincerely pity all those affected though, but when pigggidddiotts think they are wiser than Yorubas, this is what they get...

according to u if somebody is not yoruba, they should be treated badly. hope u are not religious
if u are a pagan or atheist - then i have no problem with u

Honor10:
Pls, start using ur Brain to type not only finger, go and continue ur slavery to the north, SW is contesting in 2023 and millions of ur people cant stop that.

And this ur gospel of '[/b]if I can't have it, nobody will[b]' will consume most of u at the end. Let's wait and see

we helped u to have it in 1999 and 2003, why would u want to have it again
its u people that are saying " if i cant have it twice nobody can have it once" . its ur own greed that will consume u at the end
lets wait and see what ur greed will do to the nation.
is it not all of us that are suffering it now? how much is ur region buying a bag of rice.
No remedy in sight, we have finally accepted ur regions plea to drown this nation together, we are tired of playing the role of a good region
keep pretending that all is well

Honor10:
Then why are u afraid of letting him contest with Osibanjo in 2023, why are u begging the north to contest?

because no southerner can win without the others support and ur region has sworn to ever be against us no matter how good the person is, so we are playing along with the North just like u people to damage the country more until u lots come to ur senses

[quote author= post=83725215]Peter Obituary weeks before the Presidential election..........[/quote]why do u hate the truth
kindly point out what is wrong with what Peter Obi said
