bentenny: Bro forget the naira for exchange arrangement! Thats a scam! On the average,Dangote imports 55-60% of crude from countries like USA! But i keep asking...what stops the FG from subsiding crude for dangote to strictly sell to Nigerian citizens at a cheaper rate?
When you say 50-60% of what quantity?
Are these actual figures known to Nigerians or it's like those guys who use falsified data to claim subsidy payment from the FG when it was the business of the day..... While this is the reverse .....!!!!
deji17: Do you know that oil extraction is a business by private companies in Nigeria? They price the crude based on cost and going market rates. Oil business is not charity . Buying in Naira does not mean you will not buy the naira equivalent. The price keeps fluctuating. Never static and that is what you see all over the world. You need to get out of the mindset of govt fixing prices of petrol, dollar rate etc.
You did'nt asnwer the question..... The quantity is what i asked ....
bentenny: This is all on the apc led federal government. Buhari had 8 solid years to build atleast 2 refineries that would have been serving nigerians but they were all waiting for dangote! Tinubu used billions of dollars to repair two refineries which turned out to be a scam and a channel for embezzlement! Interestingly,Saudi arabia during the regime of Buhari,built two new refineries! In 2026,we have no business importing or depending on the monopoly of dangote refineries! Unfortunately,its not dangote's fault as most of the crude oil he gets are imported!
How much quantity of the crude oil Dangote buys is imported as against tbat he buys within given the naira for exchange arrangement he benefits from that we are told it benefits the nigerian economy?
deji17: It's the effect of the Iran/ Us/ Israel war Cost of crude has gone up. All over the world petrol prices has gone up
What quantity of crude does Dangote buys from outside Nigeria in foreign currency as against the quantity bought from within Nigeria given the naira for exchange arrangement that he benefits from that we are meant to believe that it benefits the Nigerian economy?
abuhusna1: When a poor man is not ready to make money he calls the rich thieves. Ask those who bought dangote sugar and dangote cement if they are not super rich
Don't tell us to ask..... Please if you're one of those who bought kindly tell us how super rich was the payment of dividends and how much were you paid thr last time payment was done for such shares owned?
This doesn't look like something an educative institution writes.......
Do they have any proof whatsoever on this or just like someone wrote down there about particles of iron metal being mixed with the grinded food...!!!
Some people went to school just to pass exams which is quite easy but they don't think for themselves.....
One major processed food in Nigeria which majority eat is garri and you can imagine how many of us are even willing to believing this nonsensical write up.......
One good thing about the Nigerian politics is that while they are out of office and seat of power, it may seem that they are saying something of good ue but when they get into office a d seat of power, they become the very things they once criticized and spoke against.
Very gross lies.... Even bandits in those States will be laughing at this mannerless statements Akpabio and sensible Nigerians know why they will not want election results to be electronically transmitted.
I only laugh at people who are followers of such kinds of people. These are humans with no iota of integrity. It's so funny that the PDP once had these sets strange fellows to do their bidding and they are now doing the bidding of the ruling party. These are men who are no different from the bandits, ritual killers, yahoo and the ++, killer squad IPOB, etc, etc, all who do their dirty acts having different ideologies but at the end of the day, the main aim and objective is same.
Ishilove: Someone complained on X that there had been no power in Ikorodu since it rained, and a social media handle called Nigerian National Grid explained the reason why power goes off anytime it rains. At least in Nigeria. I don't know how it is in other countries
Orlandoo: If you gather all the Igbos in different states in Nigeria, then I think Igbos are the largest indigenous tribe and might extra states to be created for them.
Please mention the States where those Igbos are and ask yourself if they see themselves as Igbos or you think we are in the era of Lord Lugard or Queen Amina of Kano!!!!!
At the same time, the president issued a firm warning to Fubara, insisting that political seniority and structures must be respected.
The bolded is all that matters as far as politics is concerned. Nevertheless if Gov. Fubara wants to break free from all this bonds that he has put himself then he should come clean to God and the people and let God fight for him.
SixSeven: With the way this government has handled the information around this coup, first from the early denial 3 months and scaring the press for irresponsible journalism and unpatriotism to now admitting that there was a coup attempt without any apology that they lied, you cannot tell me that the reason for the delay is nothing but POLITICS.
A government of propaganda is always concerned about their image and they do this with the way they manage information. It's such a disgrace and a red card because what they have done is proof that the government cannot be trusted.
Do not forget that President Tinubu did attempt a controversial "special presidential promotion" for his Aide-de-Camp (ADC), Colonel Nurudeen Alowonle Yusuf, in December 2025.
The apparent contradiction can be explained by three main factors:
1. Strategic Misdirection and False Flag (October 2025): When the plot was first foiled in late September, the military and Presidency denied the coup rumors to prevent panic and deter copycat attempts. They publicly reclassified the arrests of 16 officers as "routine disciplinary actions" for career stagnation and exams.
2. The ADC Promotion Logic (December 2025): The attempt to promote Colonel Yusuf just two months later was actually tied to the coup climate. The Presidency's formal reason was "rank parity" with other Villa security chiefs, but analysts suggest it was an attempt to solidify the loyalty of the President's immediate inner circle. Promoting his most trusted personal guard was seen as a way to ensure a "last line of defense" after a major betrayal within the wider military.
3. The Admission (January 2026): The government only admitted the truth once the investigation was complete and the legal process for a court-martial was ready. This delayed confirmation allowed them to secure the administration and reshuffle top military brass, including moving General CG Musa to his current role as Minister of Defence before the public admission.
The government prioritized stability through denial in October, attempted to build a "fortress" of loyalists in December, and finally felt secure enough to be transparent in January. In short, the government lied through the seasons. Happy New Year folks.
Well said. What the government just did is one of those things referred to in the American movies as misdirection.... There was actually no coup or attempted coup. It's just a repeat in different content of that coup that Abacha used in silencing Diya and co.....
babaztee: Ottis's model is working because it is delivering the dividends of democracy and the people can see it. The three past governors who stayed and ruled Abians from the government house, what have they produced? What has the stay in government house produced all the three put together?
They should leave Otti alone and not cause any distraction for the man.
The man is working. What I see in the man is that, he has a compassionate heart and is willing to sacrifice his comfort to serve the people.
Governor Otti, I doff my hat for you. The Lord will keep you strong to do more for the people.
You are a man of the people.
This is that same fanatical talk someone said about PMB ruling Nigeria from any where he likes and your likes complained. I hope if PBAT chooses to go to his village to stay and rule Nigeria, you won't come out to complain because you'll have to show it up in thr constitution that he ought to be there in Abuja......
Its obvious this same Nigerians that frowned at a NYSC corps member being told to knell down by a principal of a school are the same people applauding a uniform military officer knelling down to give salutation to a muslim religious leader....
Make una try well well. This double standard hypocrisy will not end.
Very good. But you're supposed to tell us how impactful positively it is practically on the economy and the people.....What are the physical proofs seen that show that it's working and worth....?
This is not about age but the uniform. It's enough for him to salute him which is the traditional thing to do. If he can do prostration if he wasn't wearing any of the military uniforms.
Do you think it's also sign of respect if this same high rank officer does same for PBAT? Don't you know that's a disrespect to the uniform, which the Nigerian constitution gives power to?!!!!!
We over do things in this country and term it tradition and customs. There's no other custom in the Nigerian military other than what it is.
Only in Nigeria you see a military/para military personnel carrying hand bag of first lady of a State or carrying luggages of the the State Governor or Senator or Honourable......
bigpicture001: Not true... The highest political elected public office holder is the leader of the party, since fubara came in , he assumed leadership.. before him.. will be the senator with the highest profile in the state.. next to the state chairman...
Can such position be given to the State governor when he has no one on his side inside the APC........or do you want the followers of another person to be handed to him!!!! Do you think it will work that way?
Ahayalift: There are very good aspects of Sharia Law actually. Look at the ways many of our girls walk half-naked, they always cover well in the North because they know there is Sharia there. I'm not saying it should be introduced, I'm just saying we Christians have a lot to learn from Islam. I know the general narrative, but I tell you what I know many Muslims are far much more kindhearted than most Christians, I'm talking from personal discovery over Years of my experience. See: https://www.nairaland.com/8599625/music-alert-let-greatness-manifest
The best test to know a kind hearted individual is to offend such person and not one whom one knows can't do anything but that one whom you know can undo the offender..... That's the best test .
Sharia no be only for dressing Have you heard the other penalities of Sharia been given to those rich people who fault such laws ?
emkz: ADC ought to know that once Obidients entered, they'd control the narrative. What they ought to have done is ensure everyone signed an undertaking to respect the outcome of the primaries.
My suggestion to ADC is to do their primaries after all parties, probably two days to submitting names to INEC. That way, those who'd decamp after losing in the primaries can no longer do so, or they'd decamp before then.
The Obidients are fanatical about their ignorance that Obi cannot defeat Atiku to secure ADC ticket. The best way to manage them is to declare open primaries to test the popularity.
Yes, Option A4 is the best for the ADC to check popularity and they should not engage in financial inducement.
Well, while we wait for the FG to respond to this allegation......!!!
Why don't Mallam El Rufai kindly make available a spiral binded copy of this more than 15 months 100 billion naira monthly dedication and let Nigerians read for themselves how it all started.....
Even those who came out with the falsified gazetted laws have not shown Nigerians the areas the falsification was imputed......
The questions sensible people would ask themselves is who is there in the North that PBAT will choose as a replacement for VP Shettima if he intends to get the whole support of a great majority of the North assuming that replacement is even possible?
What is the electoral value of that person compared to Shettima and is the person an asset or liability to PBAT when it comes to the re-election?
OlujobaSamuel: Yes, according to the report, he defaulted in 1999, but cleared it all in 2001
No, you're mistaken in your interpretation. That loan facility given to him in 1990 was open to him to use till 1999, which he would no longer have access to it. That's why the report says it expired in August 1999 meaning he no longer has access to that loan facility for that amount of which he has fully completed the repayment as at 2001 and the facility liquidated. That means he is no longer indebted to the bank.
I'll also add that even if a customer defaults in repayment and the bank still goes and deduct from that account and still holds on to the collateral, then its a criminal offence.
Note that loans are taken from source once money enters the individuals' account and not necessarily the individual coming to pay directly that loan.
michlins: This ban shouldn't even be questioned at all. We must place emphasis on our younger generation more than our present needs of few people. The health condition of the present adults is also very important.
Alcohol should be taxed at 40% also. If you must want to drink alcohol, you should be ready and willing to pay for it
Do you really think that has brought any solution to the already existing problems, troubles, worries and fears!!!!!!
Do you know those who are addicted on cheap drugs, the lengths and breaths of stealing/robbery,etc,etc, they undertake in order to buy these substances that can alter their destinies for worse?
reddingtonblack: I might be byiers tho buh i dont consider myself a Fubara supporter i just believe any side against godfatherism is on democracy
To the issue, i dont see how Fubara betrayed his supporters Highiest he did was CAUTION his fan to stop making statements easy to misconstrue as inciting the other camp, he wanted the tension n heat to cool down thats All
The chief Judge is human 1st, we always fall to one side its just how we admit it ..
I am saying for a chief Judge that already decline to accept the " request" even if supreme court force him to proceed what do you think he will do ... misconduct is subject to his interpretation
lastly A chief judge is at the peak of her career you can threatening such person with demotion, nothing more except debit & credit alert
A true career person is different from a politician or any other.
I hope you remember what happened to CJN Walter Onnoghen!!!!!
It's never good to mix politics and careers, especially when you're at such peak in the legal profession.
Vadese1: If the information is true. Kudos to the able governor for doing the right thing. Anything associated to the obiokpo emperor wike. must be discarded
That was how Wike began and he was applauded for fighting Gov. Amaechi and everyone associated to with till Wike is now fighting those who once applauded him.
Kudos to you and your likes. When this tabke turn i hope you'll praise the next one.
