mikeansy:Please no war. I rather live under corruption than war. You people don't know the magnitude of what you are all wishing. |
Lagos - The commercial heart beat of Nigeria is ready to soldier on. If Lagos snizzes - every other states catches a cold |
[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=843052.msg9934783#msg9934783 date=1326201321]He is right. Do the math.[/quote]You cant conclude based on the above result . You can do wonders with that 2 million daily sales to the Human capital of any nation . That is where the power lies |
Protest is definitely gathering momentum - Some us of monitoring the financial aspect. 1 Interbank lending is almost down - but not completly down 2 Stock exchange 30% trading 3 - Shut down of oil wells will be icing on the cake. ( The game changer - the Dumb and deaf government - will recieve an earing and seeing miracle) Nigeria's main oil union said Tuesday a nationwide strike on scrapping fuel subsidies will disrupt oil output and exports in Africa's biggest producer if the government fails to open dialogue on restoring the fuel subsidy. Pengassan's secretary general Bayo Olowsihile said workers have already failed to show up at offices of several oil companies and that his union was in talks with its blue-collar counterpart Nupeng on "bringing down the platforms and production levels." "We had hoped the government would bow down but that does not seem to be its line of action," Olowshile said. A spokesman for Shell said the strike has had no impact on its operations so far but said the company was monitoring the situation. Nigeria Labor Congress deputy president Promise Adewusi earlier Tuesday said parts of the oil sector could be shut down if the strike con[b]tinues. "The process to shut down the upstream sector began yesterday [Monday] and by today [Tuesday] we may complete the shut down," he said.[/b] State-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation's spokesman Levi Ajuonuma was unable to confirm reports that loadings at some ports have been affected. "There has been no impact on oil production for now," he said. Abuja-based Ajuonuma said oil minister Diezani Alison-Madueke had today held several meetings with industry stakeholders to discuss the crisis. Nigeria's government announced January 1 that subsidies on imports of petroleum products would end immediately, more than doubling the price of gasoline to about Naira 150 ($0.93) a liter. The government estimates it will save $6 billion this year by eliminating the subsidy and said the money will be invested in education and infrastructure. Economic activities in most parts of the country were paralyzed Monday as the majority of banks and filling stations did not open for business. http://www.platts.com/RSSFeedDetailedNews/RSSFeed/Oil/8780095 |
Yes oo history is on his side. 1st President in the Nigerian history to govern a bankrupt nation - I want to see where he will get 1 billion to eat cassava bread next year . Oloshi ![]() |
He is right on track - It is about time we ginger the people of Nigeria - Let us banish docility and chase away mediocrity leadership. Fela and Gani would be smiling in their grave right now |
jmaine:would you prefer destruction of properties, deaths or a chaotic environment - The Last Uk strike against pensions was like a carnival - What you should be worried about. Gradually the econonmy is being brought to a halt - Remove Lagos , abuja and Kano . Nigeria would be finished. |
LeoMax:One truck and not 1600 - Are you aware of the logistics involued in sourcing and delivering 1600 buses in a matter of days. I think we should agree that part of the buses where on ground before the announcement was made. |
LeoMax:Are you serious - btw last friday and now - Are you telling me 1600 bus carrying planes flew into Nigeria - Unloaded and registered for use. Are you really educated - It is either the buses were available before the announcement was made or not. |
I laugh is fuel subsidy madness - Propanganda at work - Who will blink first. |
Illiteracy is a disease - whilst these poor souls were protesting - Their saviour spent 3 Million naira eating yesterday |
smile11s:Is change 1 billion Naira to eat in a year. |
Feed your eyes - Remove all the allowances and Estacodes - Here you will have savings of almost 2 trillion Naira. Dont be deceived subsidy wont destroy - It is leadership mismanagement that will eventually destroy Nigeria 5billion allocated to the Office of First Lady - Hope it is an English School
|
Who cares ' when I still have 1 billion to eat. |
I will name and shame them very soon |
Phock government contracts and speak the truth,l'et the devil be ashamed |
Answer the question of leadership mismanagement . There you will find answers to questions. |
Everything you listed cannot be achieved under Gej. A man who feeds on 1 billion naira a year. where is the sincerity and dont give me that BS that the corrupt system preceeded gej. How many times do you buy furniture in year. Don't worry I believe along the way the protest will gather momentum and a specific ideology. Let the police carry on killing protesters |
Even if you pro gej. Does that mean one should also be daft. |
Beaf:Lol I have danced the last time OBj buried NEPA - till today i am still dancing in darkness let me guess the name of new company NDEC |
[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=842409.msg9928069#msg9928069 date=1326124996]Not really a meaningful move until the PHCN successor companies are privatized. Doesn't make a difference if they are all directly employees of PHCN or now employees of the successor companies; in the end still government employees. Much ado about nothing, I think.[/quote]Just what i stated earlier - Many here behave like they lack formal education. what is the name of the transition company - where is their struture. I guess it is another one of those " 23 licences given to refinery operators" |
Beaf Why you deny the obvious - baffles me - Anyway just to let you know - the protest is gradually turning into a ethnic war - Just as you have desired. As you stated " if GEJ cant rule nigeria , the country must burn" |
I am confused - Who is currently providing electricity - is not phcn - when you scrap an organisation - I thought transition to the new company would have happened before scarping . Abeg give me break - Things like this only exists on the pages of newspapers. Next month you will hear " Scrapping to commence 2013 " - Who is fooling who - here. One thing I have definitely observed during this subsidy protest - All government agencies even the ones that are redundant are all currently sending out positives messages via twitter, facebook , tv, and so all. Definitely propanganda machine is work - Let see who will win. |
Why anbody would want to make this a tribal protest - beats me - Fuel hardship or related issues knows no tribe. Anyway Niger delta youths only exists on the pages of newspapers - |
LeoMax:Will Nigieria not collapse when 1.2trillion is allocated 469 persons - or a president eating 1 billion naira worth of yearly meals Please get your head right - The protest is against corruption is high places. |
You guys are missing the picture - Nobody is saying subsidy should not be removed - but it needs to be carried out with sincere motives. According to recent government statements, government was actually borrowing to support subsidy . So where is the 1.3 trillion savings comming from. 1. Timing has to be right 2 Appropriate pallatives measures on ground not freaking 1600 buses 3 why cant refineries be fixed At this point in time - Protest has moved away from subsidy - The focus now is now government corruption. Change can only come from a leader who himself is ready for change. How can i adjust whilst he is feeding fat £11,000 daily. In short what is happening - Government is transferring the payment of subsidy to the already burden masses - Is that what you call subsidy removal. |
then remove the subsidy when they arrive - why not fix the existing ones instead of building new ones. Oyinbo people call that one " quick wins" |
Bad Leadership. Look no further - How many times has Obama gone out of the US to look for business opportunities for american firms and equal that to useless trips by the Past and Present leaders of Nigeria |
In the land of blind, the one eyed fool becomes the king but not necessarily the wisest |
Yawns So Buhari is no longer guilty |
Wish I was there. The last time People protested in London and New York - Yaradua and Cabal Fell within days. No Regime has ever outlasted the Will of People. If the worst of IBB and Abacha can back down , who the hell is GEJ How long can Nigerians remain docile - One day docility will break. |
We need to distinguish between conspiracy theories and actual foreign matter |
