i am from nasarawa state. though there is no state in nigeria where there are no chaos but trust me, so far no any evil recorded in the state in terms of insurgency

It has also had it's fair share of fighting and killings, especially towns areas like Obi, Awe, Kadarko. Just last December there were herders farmers clash that led to many deaths

@OP, you didn't specify the part of the state - hope u aware it's quite large.

However since you mentioned education, I assume it's within the two major cities - Lafia and Keffi - where I believe they have the higher institutions. And in that case, both are quite okay in terms of safety.

Where you have occasional skirmishes are at the outskirts or border towns (eg Kadarko)

Na wa o �

Hmm. So it's actually true. Thought it was fake when I first saw the picture online

Certainly not a Buhari fan, but I don't buy this. Petrol as souvenirs?

It could be vege oil for all we know

Abeg OP softly oo.

Badb0y4lyf:
O.p take most advice here with a pinch of salt most are car dealers and only trying to sell you there car do not buy a 2010 camry it is the same thing with a 2007 camry and above only cosmetic difference if u will go for a camry go for a 2007 to 2008 2.8m to 3m should get you a clean one. However with 3.5m budget you can get a Lexus ES350 that's the best of both world you can buy luxury, maintainance, ruggedity you name it if I were in your shoes I will bite the bullet and go for a ES350 Lexus but if on budget 2007 to 08 camry. 10 and 11 camry is buying same thing with with few differences for more money. My 10kobo advice.

Except 2007-2008 has the oil shortage issue.

No one beats them when it comes to fake news. The only war the Russians are losing now is the information war[/s].

Then go there and help them naa.

Nonsense

Blablamalala:
[s]Shows they are a force that is civilized and humane. Even during the two world wars which the played most active roles. They still were very humane. They have always tried as much as possible in maintaining minimal casualties of the innocent. If not, history would have told us otherwise, that the behave like BARBARIANS shedding blood all over the world like the U.S.A. Maybe if the have also chosen to be dropping atomic bombs on people the story would have been different.[/s]

You love them so much, so why TF haven't you emigrated there?

Sigh another one ☹️

Yes USA is bad, wicked, blah, blah. . .

Yet you see them in their hundreds, nay thousands, holding endless vigils at US embassy just to get the coveted visa.

Pray if you love Russia so much, hope on the next plane there to support your hero, na.

Nonsense.

I don't know why this is hard for people to understand, i mean it's not rocket science. There's limited amount of oxygen in an unmoving car so once the oxygen level finishes, the person will feel weak and drizzy and the next feeling will be sleep which will eventually lead to death. This has been happening for centuries. That's why houses have windows. Read black hole of calcutta india.

This is not true ooo. This can happen if:
1. The car is in an enclosed environment, eg garage
2. There is a fault or leakage eg in exhaust,thereby allowing CO to build up in the interior.

Heck I can't count how many times I've been in unmoving vehicles on the road with AC fully on, which usually occurs during heavy traffic. And yes, can stretch for hours sometimes. But nothing happened to us.

Loewe:
The way Nigerians conclude on certain things without reasoning baffle me a lot.

What if they were assassinated and their naked bodies were dumped in the car to mask the murder?

How 2 people can be having sex and both would die at the same time is what people should ask themselves.

It's simply illogical and highly suspicious. Were they both poisoned? Where were they coming from...

Was it suffocation? If so, they would have been able to roll down the windows and get some air wouldn't they?

A lot of Nigerians won't even question the possibility of other things, they'll just jump into conclusion.

Well what u wrote plausible but not likely. Note that the narrator said the key is still inside the car. So if murder, how was that possible? Or the murderer had a spare key?

CharleyBright:
Ok.
After Ukraine which country will be next?
Ukraine is not the first country he is annexing, neither will it be the last.

Some of you people supporting Russia and hating the US on Nairaland are very willing to sleep in US embassy everyday to beg to secure visa to go to the US, but you hate the US.
And may God not allow Boko Haram and ISIS to over run Nigeria, because the same US and UK you people are hating is the same countries you will beckon for help, not Russia or China.
Hypocrites all round.
Between two devils, choose who is the better evil.

Honestly it's shocking seeing the number of Putin sympathizers here.

Is that people have become so used to draconic rule, they now consider such tyrants as heros? A twisted form of Stockholm syndrome?

Everyone just opening their mouth waaa .

Simple question, WHO STOPPED YOU ALL FROM PROTESTING THE KILLINGS IN NAIJA? ABI THEM HOLD UNA LEGS??

Last I checked there is freedom of association, so those folks are free to protest whatever they like.

Seriously, Y'all should put a sock in it.

Hmm. That zone is becoming something else.

It used to be kidnapping spree along that Auchi - Uromi - Ekpoma axis, but it seems are people now aviod that route, they are moving into the town.

Years ago, especially during his first tenure as gov, I would have agreed, but certainly not anymore.

Rochas has been diaster to Imo and would likely do worse if given the chance to head this country

Okay, let's back up a bit.

This is not about who is in charge of NNPC, Buhari, South vs North, GEJ, PDP and APC, etc.

At the heart of the subsidy removal argument is the simple thing......in order to make it in business, any business, you have to sell at a profit.


And that goes for petrol selling.


Here is the thing. NNPC brings petrol into this country right now at N282 (in 2015 it was N132, and in 2012 it was N99) per liter.

NNPC and the marketers then sell that fuel at N163 (in 2015 it was N87 and in 2011 it was N65 ) per liter.

To cover that loss, we pay the difference between the landing cost and the cost at the pump. THAT is WHAT is called the subsidy. And the subsidy rises when the cost of producing that crude oil, petrol, etc rises.

Gowon brought in the subsidy in 1973 because in 1973, thanks to the Yom Kippur war, fuel prices were rising because oil prices rose...and stayed high till 1982, when they crashed, and remained low till 2006/7 when they rose again.

The problem with subsidy is that everything...cost of crude oil, cost of refining petrol...rises. And the subsidy rises as well. That's why our subsidy costs rose from N1 trillion in 2019 to N3 trillion now, and why prices have to go up...because we have to reduce subsidy costs from time to time...and why we no longer pay N65 for fuel, or the 15 Kobo we paid in 1981.

Second problem is subsidy money comes from crude oil revenue...the same crude oil revenue we used for our budget. Oil prices have been so fluctuant that we never ever have enough to pay for subsides, so we borrow.

At the end, subsides due to their rising cost and due to poor base of revenue have been difficult for us to maintain. That is why every nnpc boss has advised the leader of this country for nearly 3-4 decades....to stop the subsidy monster. But at the end of the day, people want cheap fuel prices, so governments don;t listen to them

Yes, Nigerians, like you and me, are the ones responsible for the subsidy mess. Our inssitence on cheap fuel is why we do not have refineries, why we are going to spend more than 3 trillion funding subsides, meaning we cannot see the benefit of the rising oil prices, why we cannot even have investment in more refinereis apart from the six going up, and why we get into more and more debt, and why we use dirty fuel insteand of premium fuel.

That's why your arguments really don't matter...I'm sorry to say that, and I do not mean to be rude...but your argument does not matter. You cannot sell fuel at a loss, and expect an industry to be free of corruption and all the mess therein. You cannot oppose government setting the prices your business sets....and then support the same for the petroleum industry.

And that is what I want you to see. It is not about politics, who is appointed, even the whole 'helping the poor....because are we helping the poor with more debt and reduced spending on health and education and so on...because we have to pay subsidy?


Let's remove subsidy. The oil industry will earn the profits needed to fix things, government would save money , and anyway, the value of the naira would go up because we save forex. We've wrecked our economy long enough.

Great analysis!

backbencher:
Ultimately all people see is the potential rise in food prices and other prices ( eg cost of photocopying stuff could rise because your guy running the photocopiers uses petrol generator as power source)

Thats why subsidy removal is a scary proposition to most

Yeah, but we have to make difficult choices. Like I said people are currently paying as much as 400 per litre. Yes its scary, but the alternative is no better.

We are literally borrowing ourselves into stupor to maintain an ever ballooning, unsustainable subsidy monster. It simply cannot go on.

Na so oo. Paid 50k for Abuja to Enugu, which is usually abt half that amount

the thing pain me shaa.

IMF is totally right here. Subsidy is the biggest scam against the Nigerian people.

It's is shocking NLC cannot, or refuse to, see the bigger picture.

People are currently buying at 200+/ litre, and heavens did not fall.

Subsidy need to go.

treatise:
Buhari was the minister for petroleum then, I am not surprised.

Not true.

Wow. I love this

Na real 'Abdul goat' lol.

Na wa o. These Americans with their intelligence. So tay they even know the actual time of attack. . . . �

wifeesnatcher:
how can you've your family in your car and be speeding, anytime I'm speeding I always remembered home and any emergency can come up, so when speeding how do you control your break if circumstances arises on motion?



they should hand him over to motherless babies home before he grow up in the hand of wicked family

Honestly I wonder. Tho we don't know for sure, but with the damage on the Corolla, one can can deduce there was likely some serious speeding

Even me sef by Gods Special Grace survived an what would have been a tragedy just few days ago. Boarded a car with driver doing James Bond along Ore - Ijebu-Ode (you know as the road smooth). While trying to overtake he passed by right, and lost control. Na so vehicle spin 360 like 3-4 times. Men I see something that day.

How the vehicle didn't summersault or run into the ditch, na Baba God. .

See them, all grabbing space like possessed entities.

He's aging quite well.

his friend is a YAHOO BOY. his friend is a THIEF.
I am dating a YAHOO BOY. I am dating a THIEF.
those guys are YAHOO BOYS. those guys are THIEVES.
he has joined YAHOO BOYS. He has joined THIEVES.
my boyfriend is a YAHOO BOY. my boyfriend is a THIEF.

a thief is a thief. nothing like yahoo boy
this is the bitter truth and only a thief or people that glorify thieves with nicknames like YAHOO BOY will not agree with this


The sooner Nigerians change the rotten mentality and replace YAHOO BOY with THIEF, the better

[s]Leave the boys alone and go after the politicians first.
The boys bring in money into the economy
The politicians steal and take away money our of the system
When all the politicians are firstly dealt with, you can then come after the boys[/s]

What those useless boys do is no different from our politicians. Stealing is stealing. The only difference is who the victim is.

Stop supporting evil.

Since I joined nairaland I've never seen a headline that reads "EFCC arrests 40 yahoo girls"

I believe we'd have more saner clime if females are allowed to dominate the globe.

More saner ko, most sanest ni. No go work on your atrocious grammar.
