855 is still high na
Make them reduce am or we should know if this is the stable price

From all indications , the price will still go higher sef 🤦‍♂️

I drove into petrocam earlier this morning I discovered they didn’t have queue and asked them how much is a liter , the attendant told me 1,100. I use my eyes see it on the machine like this I just shake my head commot.

Now seeing an NNPC with just about 8 cars being attended to at 4 pumps selling for 855 felt like I was the luckiest man in Nigeria 🤦‍♂️

This morning , I stumbled into one NNPC filling station that sells for 855 per liter with just few cars at the pump .

It felt like hitting a weekend jackpot buying fuel without spending 2 minutes on queue . 🤦‍♂️. Now it’s a source of joy/flex that one buys fuel at the official pump price without queue

Ashiwaju + Shettima 2023 - ASHISHE2023 do this one 🤮…. Na real big Ashishe(mistake ) this government be Aswear.

Now imagine how much worse it would be for children of different wives in an adverserial setting. If siblings who grew up together are fighting over properties, what would happen with siblings who were actually in competition

I hope my post is not misconstrued to mean I’m making a case for polygamy .

I was only trying to correct the impression he made that only polygamous families fight over properties/inheritance .

The fact is once there’s a valuable property/inheritance left behind by an elite , some of the survivors of the deceased will always feel left behind in whatever arrangement is made as to sharing the inheritance equitably . Whether in a polygamous or monogamous setting it will happen

ObalendeCMS:
This "nonsense" family has taught me never to engage in polygamy!

Even, when I have all the money in the world.

Chief F.R.A Willams one of the finest legal luminaries this country has ever produced was married to just one wife with whom he had 4 children. Till date those children are still in and out of court over his properties since he died in 2005.

Late Dr. Biodun Laja was the founder of Lekki British school. She has just two sons from the same husband and they keep dragging each other to court and writing petition to the police authority against each other over the international school she left for them as inheritance .

[quote author=iamoyindamola post=131989907][/quote]It seems u just have free time on ur hands and u feel to use it going round and round a circle ; because anybody that followed our discussion would see that I provided a source to his unhappiness on the bench.

Once again I did not claim , it was reported in the news and I showed u evidence/source to that effect.

Jodera:
Congratulations to David Raya.

That Save against Aston Villa was really really outstanding as well as important. The big difference between 0points and 3points that day

Big congrats to our number 1 👍

iamoyindamola:
You claimed he was unhappy even when he tried to get in again whereas the coach have made up his mind to sell him and foolishly spend big on another keeper
We will be buying another one next season

1. I did not claim he was unhappy, I showed u The Guardian UK screenshot in which it was reported that Ramsdale himself spoke about being unhappy about his situation at Arsenal.

2. The issue has always been about Ramsdale believing he's good enough to be Arsenal's number 1. Unfortunately for him, Arteta does not share in his confidence.

3. He tried to gain back Arteta's confidence but Arteta sees him at best as a backup keeper. Ramsdale thinks otherwise and sought first team football elsewhere.

Finish....... Every other thing u are saying, na u know that one.

iamoyindamola:
So according to what you wrote
Ramsdale was unhappy and orchestrated the move
Bravo 😂😂😂


My point have been made since arteta is a squanderer aka suwona

I don’t even understand what point u are trying to make, but whatever rocks ur boat sha.

iamoyindamola:
Blueraydick
Oya let's have it 😂😂😂

Always endeavor to read the full story and not just few lines off a news piece.

I read the full news on The Mirror UK website and I fully understand . The summary is :

Ramsdale fell out of favor with Arteta who replaced him with Raya . This did not go down well with Ramsdale and left him unhappy. He tried to compete and get back the no1 spot but it’s obvious Arteta has made his mind up on moving ahead without Ramsdale so he joined Southampton where he’s guaranteed playing time.

So what exactly is the point you are trying to make again ?

DeeScan:
Pires point was situated on both dribbling prowress and that's why he used the word *imaginative" .


I might not watch saka that much but one thing is fact .. doku is imaginative and creative with dribbling than saka .. saka is pretty basic when it comes to dribbling .. He does the same thing over and over using one style hence he gets easily predicted.. but for players like doku, leao, vinicius .. if you get their style, them go use another tske dribble you ..


But it's no news that saka is way better at other things required in football but when it comes to dribbling.. Doku pass am oo which is the point is trying to get at..

What is imaginative about the shakushaku Doku does on the wings?

It's like u read the Pires interview and failed to understand the context.

Pires was asked if he thinks Saka was the best Winger in the league , then Pires went on rambling about Saka lacking consistency and experience . Like what more does Saka need to do to show consistency? For the past 4 years Saka has been delivering back to back in goals and assists playing from the wing. He has done this for both club and country on all stages.

He didn't even stop there, he now had to insult Saka by saying Doku is better technically? How ? Which kind yeye technicality ? Dribbling is not always about shakushaku o; Saka dribbles effortlessly beating his markers without doing 1 gazillion step-overs and always delivers end product.

If Pires had said Salah was better than Saka, nobody would've argued sef.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]This Dangote matter is starting to become nauseous.

Till now, nobody fit talk price[/color]

The way I'm seeing things, it appears both Dangote and NNPC are playing a game.

It is obvious if Dangote decides to sell PMS at its actual cost, it will be above N1,000 because sometimes around July it was reported by major media outfit that the landing cost of PMS is around N1,117(And naira has since slumped against dollar after that time, so the landing cost as at today will be higher)

Now here is the issue: If Dangote announces PMS is let's say N980(Let's say the cost of shipping is no longer in the equation since the PMS is being refined in Nigeria) ; Nigerians will shout and call Dangote a thief. Nigerians will now see the reality that Dangote refinery will not make PMS cheaper. This will put Dangote in bad light before Nigerians.

So, Dangote wants NNPC to be the one to announce the price knowing fully well that NNPC has two options:

1. NNPC announces a price lower than the actual cost and they pay him under-recovery/subsidy (whatever name they decide to call it this time) or

2. NNPC announce the actual price, and the people abuse NNPC of being the ones increasing the price of PMS

Let's not forget that NNPC is still very much interested in importing PMS and still continue to do their under-recovery arrangement.

I may be wrong, but from where I stand it appears both parties are playing a game.

DeeScan:
he said doku is imaginative and there is every ounce of truth in that statement...

And Saka is not? The same saka that crosses with his weak right foot while you are expecting him to dribble on his strong left foot is not imaginative?

Or is it the same Saka that dribbles to his weak right and scores with it while you are expecting a weak and ineffective shot?

Let's just say English is not Pires' first language and he used words he didn't know the meaning of

Jodera2:
@blueraydick.

Pires no try for this talk sha

Pires head Don touch 😂

He's probably referring to another Saka and not the one that plays for arsenal. Why will anyone even say Doku is a better winger? Is it about goals, assists, pre-assists?

Pires must really love shakushaku for him to pick Doku ahead of Saka when rating wingers Sha.

He's talking about big games as if we've not seen Saka play excellently well in the Euros, World cup and even against top teams in the EPL.

Na wa o

We RICE by lifting others.

Shegzdave:
I think it was against Villa last two season

Yeah, u are right.

IZUKWU:
Was wondering if Pires has a personal beef with Saka because even Doku will not pick himself over Saka

We need to see the full conversation to know if he was being quoted out of context for clickbait or if indeed he said that literally.

You know someone can ask you " Who do u think is a better dribbler between Saka and Doku" and you reply " In my opinion, Doku is a bit better". They can then decide to post " In my opinion, Doku is a bit better- Pires on Saka Vs Doku"

Well, to NDDC's credit, two nights ago, I confirmed there'd be an official flag off of skill acquisition training this week by the NDDC in my LGA. (I don't know about other LGAs or states.) But until I have evidence its not just for optics instead really advanced trainingz, no comment from me. I've sent someone to be on ground to give me updates.

-
NDDC isn't even my problem. The PIA is my real concern. According to the Host Community Development Trust, the oil companies MUST pay about 3% of all their earnings annually to the HCDT which would be managed in conjunction with representatives from host communities. Those monies are already being paid.

Some of us have confirmed the names of these representatives for our place even though they were mute it until we started asking loud questions. One of them a former senator. Those ones I can at least hold responsible as we know their homes and families and we are all interrelated so they'd be walking on glass if they try violence to silence those speaking out.

HCDT is the real money and our focus not subject to partisan politics. It's fixed and statutory.

-----------
If you are from the Niger Delta reading this, just know your clan and LGA CLOs, youth leaders, traditional leaders, and politicians have been quietly siphoning monies belonging to the your communities from the HCDT to their pockets and cornering alloted jobs they don't announce. Don't just believe me - go digging. Your Governor is likely oblivious of what's going on. Likely. It's all hush-hush.

Wow!

By 3% of their total earnings, you mean 3% of the Profit After Tax right ? That's a whole lot of money they will be giving out to the host communities .

I hope the process of selecting the communities' representatives is transparent and those selected are not people of questionable character because you definitely can't rule out the possibility of those individuals mismanaging the funds. Such huge funds can be tempting for anybody who has a selfish mindset.

Like you rightly said, if such monies are channeled to the right projects like skill acquisition for technical jobs like under-water welding for those that prefer technical skills and scholarship for youth that intend to pursue the academic route.

One thing I've come to realize is that oil and gas companies always reserve employment slot for host communities indigenes, but most times those roles are not filled because of the dearth in qualifications amongst them.

I will also suggest that any scholarship that will be granted should be for those schooling in the country; they shouldn't be using such funds to sponsor anybody abroad.

Ihebu4chelsea:
NDDC is trying though.

Are u sure? Because all I've been seeing in the news about NDDC is just corruption, corruption and corruption.

DissTroy:
Between February 2021 and December 2022, I and a few individuals from my LGA sponsored pipe-fittng trainings for persons of our LGA extraction primarily (and the whole state secondarily).


Niger Delta youths as a whole need to acquire in-demand skills if they want more than crumbs from these companies. We could negotiate and insist on skilled employments because we had confirmed they are available skilled persons. Better skilled and demanding employment as stipulated by the PIA than screaming "Our oyel!" or "Our land!" and being considered a nuisance.

You are doing well bro, Nice one.

Ideally this is what NDDC is actually supposed to be looking after; they ought to be at the forefront of helping Niger-Delta youths acquire in-demand skills in the oil and gas sector.

That way, the youth would not be too focused on engaging in oil theft and some laying siege on oil companies demanding for deve money all the time.

raumdeuter:
In an ideal society, State governors should also not use State controlled security apparatus to their own advantage in elections
Ideally all security agencies State and FG remain neutral but when you don pocket one advantage and dey complain say your opponent dey try gain his own advantage
Its like an exam one side is carrying textbook to cheat and come dey complain say another dey carry laptop to cheat

We are saying the same thing.

If the people trust the government at all levels, FG will not use security operatives a.k.a federal might to manipulate elections, governors will not see the need to use state controlled security apparatus and thugs to match the FG.

Long and short: Nigeria is not an ideal society. Simple!

germaphobe:
Aston villa

Yeah, Thank you.

I remember the keeper was overconfident coming out thinking they would score the dying minute corner

raumdeuter:
Why doesnt he want assists to his opp when he is using state operatives to assist his own side?

In an ideal society the Federal government controlled police force should maintain law and order in the build-up to the election, during the election and after the election.

Apparently Nigeria is not an ideal society, nobody trusts the police and he obviously wishes to resort to self help.

I don't have a dog in the game, let the best rigger and most violent party win. That was the loud message he has passed with his refusal to sign the useless peace accord.

Fkforyou:
As in. 😂

For me, the only good thing the werey did was that assist to Gaberiel in our match against Man U.

Baba really needs to level up because age is no longer on his side.

Do u remember the assist he did to Martinelli in one of our other matches? The weyrey even celebrate before Martinelli scored inside empty net.

Lush100:
No nonsense fan spotted


Hot seat for Arteta loading...

Arteta has been given all he wants; he must deliver

Fkforyou:
When I first saw it, I was how the Fvck does he get injured without playing any competitive match.

All he does is to train and get injured.

Like even breeze fit injure the guy.

Baba just use football to Dey cash out.

Those kind of players make whoever recruited them look stupiid and clueless

You go just dey wonder say which kind bad market be this?

iamoyindamola:
Blueraydick even viera is injured
Thigh injury
Make we cash out on the guy

That one don turn to Portuguese Abou Diaby

We should just sell him to anybody that wants to buy and count our loss; It is obvious he has no future in a physically demanding league like EPL. If he can still be getting injured in the Portuguese league, then we should just give up on him.

reccy:
I don't understand you. You mean, he wants to rig election yet, don't want to be checked for it? I thought he is the Governor and has performed well. Leave it to the electorates to decide. He contested his second term with APC government at the center, yet won . Why now?


I hope this excuse would be made if the opposition Governors follow suit!!!

You are asking the wrong questions.

Obaseki is basically saying he is no interested in signing an agreement that will only be obeyed by one party and the other party won't obey.

He doesn't want to abide by the terms of an agreement that has not prevented anybody from rigging in the past. He was wants to rig just like other parties intend to rig.

The message is loud and clear; whether I agree with him or not is another thing entirely.

ddippset:
Abdulasalami should goan sit down one place with his shitty peace pact abeg.

Which kain eye service be that one?

It is obvious there are no saint in this election; all parties will deplaoy their machineries to win the election.

It's only innocent people that will be caught in the middle I pity.

Itsrm:
He's playing a media game.

Everyone knows signing the peace accord is ceremonial. Signing will not stop him or any other from unleashing their thugs.

Yes, it seems he knows how to play the media game and it has been working for him.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
At the bolded... Because na the same police go enforce the resolutions agreed... So why sign any treaty with them if they will not be neutral ❓❓

Las las na the biggest rigger and whoever can unleash the highest degree of violence go win that election. Then the courts will play their own part in a year or two to come.

I think the goal for APC and PDP is to rig as much as they can, leave not-enough evidence for the court to or not to overturn the result, and go to church to "Give God all the Glory "

Itsrm:
I watched the video. What surprised me was seeing a lawless man like Obaseki talking about the rule of law and democracy.

This is the same man who imposed his candidate on the party and conducted a rigged primary election, refused to swear in elected HOA members, removed his deputy governor from office and is notorious for not obeying court judgments one of which returned Phillip as deputy governor.

Our politicians are a rare breed

From my interpretation of the video he doesn't really care about any rule of law. He just declared war and doesn't want anybody to tie his hands to his back while he's fighting the war.

He does not want to be bound by the provisions of any peace accord.
