The one they said during the campaign has not been accomplished and there's no timeline for everything said by this APC administration seems to be in indefinitenon existing existence.
Now, whatsoever that was said in far away Cape Town promising Nigerians 20 hour daily power supply is just for that fora. We are going in sweet nothings. If you like give them beyond 2027 we will still be doing it wrongly as long as
Before you know they will tell you they are not magician's.
This people after stealing the nation dry without remorse come out to tell Nigerians to pray for hardship they created on the nation.
What manner of pray will work when those who tell you to pray don't pray and even when they do pray it's only from their lips, for their hearts and hands acts contrary to what they speak, so tell us how does God answer such prayers?

i dont know why an average Nigerian cant think, cant you see what excessive importation and demand for dollar is doing to our economy

In as much as we continue import fuel our national refineries will never work and naira will keep crashing cos of imbalance of trade

The true cheap in real sense is when Naira regains value and local refineries stand as competition around dangote ....
All these marketers are selfish bastards that have being Nigerians for year collecting free subsidy money , at a time they imported bad fuel that damaged peoples car and no one took responsibility.
Dangote like profit, are marketers not in business to maximize profit, is it not better we buy dangote fuel expensive now and naira regains value cos we save ourselves from importation.

Our true chance to cheap fuel is through our local refineries,

Are you sure you're not part of the average Nigerian who usually don't think and only dish out myopic perspectives of a whole broad subject.....
Do you really think just fixing the refineries and all that you put up here will give anything worthwhile to the value of your naira?
Whereas a greater more percentage of our livelihood and sustainability as a people are completely dependent on imported things because we are at the bottom of the food chain of stark consumers.
How many sovereign nations whose currency are of real worth and value are stark consumers on all round imported items?
Without proper industrialization forget about the value of the naira. Na life support the naira
dey on in terms of real working economy.

WorkTheTalk:
Nigeria is a conglomerate of illiterates, courtesy of the thiefing political class. When the corrupt politicians pretend to be on the side of the masses to keep looting the treasury, you hear them accusing people like Dangote of monopoly in the oil sector, whereas for over 30 years, they kept stealing the money meant for fixing the refineries to produce the fuel locally. They use the same stolen money to import fuel, and collect subsidy benefits.

When did Dangote stop NNPC from fixing the refinaries, or approving private companies to build new refinaries to produce fuel locally for a fair market competition? Dangote knows is right as a local producer, and he has approached the court. Whoever believes that Dangote is aiming at the so-called monopoly in the oil sector should approach the cout too.

How can someone produce goods locally, and you import same product to sell in the same market, and call that competition?
Don’t be fooled by all the noise from NNPC and all its affiliates. They want to turn Nigerians against Dangote so they can keep importing fuel, and steal from the treasury in the name of subsidy.

If the oil giants are afraid of oil sector monopoly by Dangote, let them build refineries, and produce fuel locally. They have crude oil locally to produce fuel.

Every sane person knows that the best economy is when there is local production, rather than importation. Even the thiefing politicians know this, but they will try all means to control Dangote, or blackmail him to support their reason for continuous fuel importation.

If local production is good enough for Dangote and if he truly encourages it sincerely why has he not encouraged the FG to ensure those who are engaged in the cooking of crude oil into it's derivates be brought into the business legally rather than destroying it?

After all for over the years most of the PMS and AGO used by all, comes from those are involved in oil bunkering from the creeks to the Sahel.

If only Nigerians can just agree to stop buying just one of Dangote's product for just 30 days then he would know he is in for business.
But I guess we will all just rant and rant and will continue in the vicious cycle of nonsense and absurdity.

He can choose to appeal the case or do whatever he feels like armstronging everyone and playing some propagandists theory of some sort.
His case will be waiting for him after his tenure as POTUS and he will get his judgment where there is no immunity.

It's just nothing but four years as POTUS.

Let's just hope his court cases don't give him a judgment that will make him make another history in the Guinness world book.

I also hope the same Nigerians who are celebrating him don't come out here when his policies affect them. Nothing goes for nothing. Everything comes with a price.
Let the citizens brace up.

Tinubu is fighting dirty and 2027 Nigerians will respond decisively. We will drop a deadly blow on him..
Wike that used Rivers money to do giveaways and sponsored all kinds of things, wasting State money was rewarded with a ministerial position. Is there anybody that stole more than Wike?

Nobody is fighting dirty and there's no such thing. Just because some persons are not prosecuted now does not mean they might not being future or even when they are dead. It all depends who is at the top of the leadership and the petitions being written against the governors or individuals concerned.
There's nothing wrong if you have all your petitions properly filed, factual and documented about Wike or any person you feel might have towed the line of corruption. You never know when it can be valuable for use, the world will not end in the next 50 years and there's no law stating when a corrupt issue can be handled or not.

The Prince Charles Commonwealth Head of Government meeting and this meeting about coastal high way are they of the same class?

It's like a participant in the FEC meeting trying to cause some unnecessary friction which ordinary should not happen..

I just hope one day all these politicians will meet their evil repercussions.

CodeTemplarr:
Stop talking like a Nigerian professor of nothing. Engineering revolves around design and technician role revolves around repairs, maintenance, operation. The fact that a HND carries mechanical engineer as well as BSc doesnt make a professor a technician. It is patetic to expect a professor to try and decipher the designs of other engineers just to satisfy ignoramuses like yourself

It is a shame you're are saying the bolded.
I would be asking myself how did the professor come about the academic title.

God2man2again:
Luke 18:16-17 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

In my own opinion and in consent with the above scriptural verses, children or infants should be allowed to know Christ at any age.

What do you think?

If your question means making them to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, then we should take a clue from the Scriptures. At age 12 Christ Jesus was already in the temple and we all know what He was doing there.

Luke.2.42 - And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
Luke.2.47 - And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.
Luke.2.48 - So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously."
Luke.2.49 - And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?"



From the above I'll say probably it's better a child be made known to Jesus from the age of 8.

For me as a little child though I can't remember saying any of it, but it's what my mum tells me , that whenever I return home from school (this is my nursery school days) that I do normally tell her that my auntie at school says that we should tell our parents t take us to church and do it repeatedly almost every week.....this event happens during the early '80s.

So if a child's life is allowed to form from the nursery school such child is taken to the church or given to a good teacher of the word that will teach the Scripture to the child and the child will have informed knowledge of Jesus Christ and God and even the Holy Spirit at an early age.
So with children it varies but as long as a child is watched and such been noticed to differentiate between right and wrong and a godly child will ask certain questions that will make you know that this one is ripe to be lead to Jesus and a proper follow up is made.
It is one thing to know Jesus and another thing to have a relationship with Him. Many believers fall on the knowing aspect just like the Pharisees and Sadducees....

It take the grace of God in all of these.
One of the major flaws about Christianity is making someone become so religious but never ever coming to the Truth.

Even PBAT and all those in power should have a rethink about this or even allowing any judge make such pronouncement........

nairalanda1:
Again fuel imported into Nigeria comes from two sources

1.substandard European refineries , mainly in the Netherlands and Belgium who refine poor quality cheap fuel and sell it to Nigeria and other African countries.

2. Malta where cheap sanctions busting Russian crude which costs less than 60 dollars a barrel is being refined into fuel

Landing cost of the imported fuel as at October 1 was 950. Dangote is offering ipman local fuel at 1028 max. Meanwhile NNPC is getting fuel from dangote at 898 per liter and it also plans to sell to ipman at 1000 or more.


Ipman decides it's time to keep on importong

You say substandard fuel from Europe, I guess they have companies who do that which they can bring into Nigerian and other African countries for the vehicles we equally buy from them be it brand new and mostly second new?
The moment Dangote came into the sector has told us that his own is better and has to be expensive!!!!!! Right.

Is it not abnormal that the NNPC wonia supposed to produce same is buying from another at a reduced rate and selling at very good profit margin?

Dangote has refused to say the actual cost of producing the PMS, well for reasons best known to him!!!

I guess we don't have to question those who also rely on said the fuel to produce their commodities why they should sell at a high price?

It is only in Nigeria that home grown things are more expensive that the one imported.

JTCHI:
Some people are saying Sim was nobody before Wike picked him and made him a governor. That's a lie.

Sim was state accountant, worked with the previous governors too. So, these governor's also backed him up.

Wike thought the guy was really a simp but he's wrong in his calculations.

Which of the previous governors are you referring to that he worked with as an accountant and please is it as an accountant general or accountant in the treasury department or office or which of the accounting division or department was he working from and with who?

Ulogwe1:
Bro go to his LGA if he was not known.

There's nothing to hide because there's nothing hidden. Even Wikipedia does not have anything about his past, I guess he does not want his profile to be put up.

WizardOfNG:
I absolutely agree with you 💯% . Indeed corruption will be a challenge to the judicious use of increased tax collected.

Yet, it is a new Government and we can only hope it can do things differently and more productively.

One things is for sure though, all actions possible must be taken to increase the income of Nigeria that is now broke with a mono economy, for now, essentially dependent on income from sale of crude.

I like it when you guys come out an advocate for the government, just like those who did same for the previous administration.
What has all the so called possible purported good actions brought the economy into?
If care is not taken you'll see that part of their campaign policies for second tenure will be that policies needs time to gain the desired results for the betterment of all !!!!!
I'm sure whoever will be bring up this selling point did not sit down and rethink before they actually protested against the PGEJ government and administration.

Estimated billing is a huge scam that those involved needs to be killed...
This is how exactly estimated billing is done in Bayelsa State.......

It doesn't matter if you're out to work or in the house, it's always a constant.
At the specified time, the PHED officials go to the transformer within each location, measure the power supply that was passed through the meter of the transformer and arbitrarily prepare the estimated bills for that month. This process is done every month.
If you let them come into your house and they see the appliances you have they will tell you that's it's even cheaper, what they were giving you originally.
Even if someone was to be indoors in his hours and would not go out , how many appliances would be using electricity constant for longer durations apart from fridge/freezer?
How many hours can one watch television now that one can do a lot with his android phone?
How many hours does one have to use the pressing iron for clothes?
How many hours do one use washing machine and how frequent do you even use it?
How many hours do you use your hot plate for heavy cooking which is regular except you dey run a restaurant?


The list is endless.....
But this scammers cease not to amaze us when they come with bills.
Why would anyone pay bills for something not seen or even used?
Though I know some people do not like to pay but how about those of us who are paying for things not seen used.

There has been no light in the entire State for more than 3 months and PBAT is not aware because they said PHED is owned by a former president but the North did not see light for just 10 days but a Presidential order was given and it was rectified.

WizardOfNG:
Efficient and increased collection of taxes will significantly improve your standard of living.

You pay fairly high taxes in the best nations of the world, with excellent Infrastructure and healthcare etal, that are collected efficiently.

Same must be birthed here. Nigeria has been living in the 16th century under past President. Tinubu is trying hard to advance us into the 21st century where others have reached.

Forget all these stories. There's no connection between having world best standard tax policies or whatever you can call it to having a world class standard of living.....This is absolutely impossible in Nigeria.
A place where politicians are bigger that government institutions that are supposedly to be independent,a place where the rich and wealthy are bigger than institutions that are supposed to remand their in prison,a place where corrupt politicians who occupy government positions and institutions are not accountable and can't be held accountable for mismanagement of public funds and abuse of powers.
Lastly, it's not whether the policies are perfect or world standard, the real issue is which man or woman, boy or girl is ready to do that which will make that world class standard made in Nigeria.
Some of these people have been in politics since the creation of Nigeria and their villages are still living in darkness, imagine reading in the news that a community after over hundred years of existence is celebrating having a toilet built.

Make una calm down, all these Ikwerre men talk na just to belittle the Governor.

If he was a politician as a civil servant that won't be hard for anyone to say out. Even in his LGA, was he known as a politician, it's not about even been a party member. Who amongst the entire political class in Rivers State were his people or who knew him to be a politician not a political commentator oOoOO OO........
There's no such thing as that the ikwere man wants to belittle the governor. The govenror himself belittled himself when he started this in-fighting.

Gov. Fubara will not be fine. Anyone who is double tongue and given to emotions is never fine because the issues are of great trouble and concern giving him sleepless nights.

It's just like former PGEJ coming out with smiling face to tell Nigerians that he is okay with his decision about conceding defeat to PMB. Forget about the looks on people's face, there are many whose hearts are so much demonic compared to whatever anyone would accuse Wike of. There are those more wicked than Wike even though you may not hear their names spoken because those who are their puppets will remain puppets for ever.

So teenagers cannot join their voice when the hunger in the land also affects them? Did someone have to send them? Stop trying to trivialise this issue.

To join in a protest is not a bad idea or thing to be done.
But to get yourself involved in a protest that you now become the one who destroys government property, public property, private citizens property then you should be blamed and you should blame yourself.

80 New Vehicles Bought With Public Funds Delivered To APC Loyalists In Wike’s FCT –Report

Previous thread https://www.nairaland.com/8254902/wike-distributes-80-vehicles-fct

All that matters is that those given are Nigerians and that is all there is to it. Is it not even good that the FCT Minister who is a PDP member is giving out those vehicles to APC members if that is what you want us to believe!!! Or do you think Wike does not know those in PDP in FCT to give same.
After all the palliatives PBAT administration gave to all the State governors was it not shared along party lines even after hoarding of same by the governors.

Many brainless people on this NL... they rub emotions into everything... The court was going to trash that shitty affidavit in the first place as it isn't the right avenue to defect... It's because Fubara is yet to tell them the truth... wasn't that affidavit part of the case Tinubu told them to withdraw and go back to status-quo after the peace accord? This Fubura just dey Maradona una head as mugu wey una be... the next fews weeks go open una eyes!

He will only succeed in dribbling himself.
Anyone who has not seen that he is deceitful then that person is blinded on all fronts.
Those so-called Rivers State elders standing with him are voiceless, faceless and nameless.
People whom Amaechi as governor ensured were silent till his 8 years in office complete. People whom Gov. Wike brought onboard the moment he became governor and he fed them fat with Rivers State allocation and these same people fell out with him for one reason or the other on the way along that brought in Fubara as governor. Now he thinks they are with him and that they have what it takes to back him up.
