Some feminists led by Ujuanya demanded for her head. Guys and other ladies rallied around her and supported her. Someone asked why she doesn't cook and refrigerate. She said she doesn't have enough money to buy. Her account number was requested and viola, 1.2m in her account.

lol. That their twitter sef, e be like say both the feminist and the people wey rally round her no get serious work wey dem dey do.

Alarm no reach their side, na why dem get all those kind time for such trivial matter. Wetin concern me if a lady is trying to save her marriage by preparing food for her husband?

Okay, the lady that says she wakes 4.50am to cook for her husband cos a female colleague has been bringing food to share with him?


Why are they giving her money ?

This is why I pity this VDM guy that's trending with his recent video report of the attacks in Plateau.. Man's report was too detailed, even visited the village..

Was personally wondering how an individual's report could be so detailed yet nothing from our big media houses..Make them no go arrest or kpai him sha..

I didn't he did a video on the incident cos I usually skip that guy's video anywhere I come across it online. But like u rightly said, he should be careful delving into this herdsmen waters cos we all saw what Obadiah Malafia went through before his eventual demise.

Watch this clip see wetin our legend miss abeg

Na sanchez they even drag top scorer when our CF is useless in the leg na only head baba gallant

That would have been his only shot on target at the world cup but the ball no even go post .

This is not funny at all

Make Tinubu kukuma vacate president seat give Fulani Herdsmen power make dem dey rule us na

Head actually since he scores more with it

As in....

If to say Giroud na player wey play in the 90's when most people no get access to watch EPL every week now, person for even say maybe the stats do not speak of how good he was. But the Giroud wey all of us gather watch? Na average player as far as Arsenal is concerned; he can never lace the boot of a fully fit Van Persie.

A fully fit Van Persie commot Arsenal he go continue his goal scoring form for a stronger Man Utd team. An average Giroud left Arsenal and still continued his average performance for Chelsea where he scored single digits EPL goals all through

If u are average u are average abeg!

Wetin be this ? So TV & radio stations have been ordered to stop reporting details of herdsmen attack ? Na wa o.

We never ready for this country.

Shegzdave:
How will an ardent Arsenal fan compare Van Persie and Giroud in their goal scoring ability?

Some people just like argument sha

Don't mind him; he will just be arguing for argument sake. If u choke am well enough, he will start insults like he called DaveP unschooled on top small football argument.

Spy360:
You are isolating two seasons for Van Persie but taking 6seasons for Giroud. That's not fair. Giroud wasn't exceptional but he was average in terms of being useless either. He is just a normal striker. He is currently the record goal scorer for France. If this does not mean a thing to you guys then no apologies.

Oga the discussion is about who was a better striker for us and clearly it is Van Persie. He scored 30 goals twice and 18 goals twice. Giroud highest was 16 and he only managed to achieve that twice.

E say that's not fair . Na me hold him leg and head not to score while his mates are scoring?

Maybe u don't know that Wilfred Bony of Swansea (A much lower quality team to Arsenal) that year sef score 16 EPL goals in two seasons.

OH the issue with the deal is the interest rate.
But I just dey point out the fact say TOE Don dey benefit from this FG 😁

My old place had a terminal that was from the 70s. The company's crown jewel. We were looking for oyibo partners and these people came in for an assessment of the company's assets. They told our ogas at the top your terminal has a net book value of zero.

It was after that management went on a gradual process of demolition and reconstruction within the terminal. The difference is that this was a terminal for fuel storage, so no need for any 'refurb' - just dismantle the tank and build and new one in it's place.

If anyone is to look at the actual numbers involved on the refurb of the refineries vs cost of construction of a new one I am sure we will find the rehabilitation was a bad financial decision. I expect the refurb to work because Buhari did engage professionals - but will still amount to a waste of funds driven by nostalgia for a business model that failed from day one.

I was going to ask: "Why has no government even come up with an idea of building a new refinery instead of the perennial turnaround maintenance ?"

At least we can't claim Dangote who sat down to conceive the idea of building a new refinery is richer than Nigeria. All the money Buhari was borrowing from international organizations and spending on infrastructures that can't pay for themselves, if he at least built one refinery his name won't be forgotten.

The man I even got from didn't get the one from SIM. Said it was "colonised" by SIMs loyalists and that no one wants to be seen frolicking with them.

Dem still carry their feud and show of loyalty reach sharing of rice ? Even as rice dey expensive reach ?

I'm looking for the one from the Cable
Apparently they updated the figure to 66m dollars

https://www.thecable.ng/exclusive-nigeria-to-pay-afrexim-nnpc-3-3bn-loan-with-12bn-worth-of-oil/amp

lol

It's normal for any entity that arranged a facility to get a fee for their service na. Going by the nairametrics link u posted earlier , its AfreximBank and UBA that are the international & local arranger respectively so the $66m or 2% fee will go to them. I don't see any cause for alarm here.

If UBA was not the local arranger it would have been any other bank like StanbicIBTC, StanChart, Access, etc. Except the issue u have with the facility arrangement is that the terms are not favorable to us as regards the interest. Well, the interest rate may be due to our existing foreign debt, risk of deafault or any other factor.

It's now the job of analysts/media to analyze it and tell us maybe we didn't make the best out of the deal as much as we could.

Spy360:
Lol @ bolded.

When I gave the illustrations below pix, that is exactly what I meant. Take away his last season for Arsenal and RVP would have been completely anonymous and below average. Whereas Giroud howbeit not spectacular but was consistent in delivering double figures throughout his stay apart from his last season.

How can u take away his last two seasons? Everybody that watched Arsenal knew Van Persie was almost always injured which frustrated him and the fans alike.

When he was eventually healthy he proved he was not an average striker like Giroud was all through his stay at Arsenal. I see u struggle to accept Giroud was average all through his stay, but it is what it is.

Their goal haul is there for everyone to see na Haba!

Was this not one of reasons CBN gave him cheap dollars to finance the construction of his refinery? Make we dey watch the film dey go 🙂..

Just dey play!

No be the same government sell us hope that when Dangote refinery gets completed we will breath fresh air as far as hike in cost of pump price is concerned. Were they not the same people that turned back and said " No be so o" ?

Dangote refinery is a private company which Nigerian government has just 20% shareholdings inside.

There are people who graduated from Uni and got jobs at Ajaokuta, worked until they retired, and are now drawing pension, yet nothing tangible ever came out of the project.

He's the one that arranged the loan apparently

Okay, so how did u come about the $300m he allegedly got for the deal?

afrodoc2:
Ajaokuta is the most egregious example of this.

I read one article about that Ajaokuta steel mill; omo we are wasteful in this country. And we have extremely wicked people that don't care wheter the country goes broke, so far their pockets get lined they are fine

TrebleChamp:
NNPCL said they are installing state of the art equipment at the Port Harcourt Refinery, so we wait to see whether it is the usual lamba or not. I doubt the old refineries can compete with Dangote and Bua's bigger and more modern Refineries though. If Tinubu's Govt (miraculously) succeed in getting the 4 Nigerian Refineries to work, i would advise that the Refineries focus on refining PMS/DPK/AGO/Aviation Fuel/CNG for the Nigerian local market, while Dangote, Bua and others refineries can focus on exporting their product to bring in Forex.

U think Dangote will bring in Forex for this country ? He will most likely be looking at spreading his tentacles to more economically stable countries na.

Of course labour unions kicked agaisnt selling the refineries

in addition to being a conduit for wasting money, the refinereies are a waste of wages.

people literally do nothing in kaduna refinery year in year out and get paid salary

https://ibekachikwu.com/nigerias-nnpc-publishes-financial-statement-for-2018/



as an aside looks like kachikwu picked a page from obj aand iweala and created his own narrative for future discussions on him

i think yarduas issue is that he was like buhari - someone fixated on government running businesses

I remember that time they pointed it out that how can they be paying salary to staff of a company that doesn't produce anything & running at a loss; the excuse was that if they don't keep the staff of the payroll the whole equipment in the plants will go to rot. They claimed the staff need to remain to maintain the equipment.

I think u are right about Yar Adua, he's more of a Buhari type of person. They hold socialism so close to their chest

Spy360:
There's what is called limit of tolerance. I hope our tolerance doesn't exceed that price.

If Northerners never ready to join the protest, the government will still find way to bring it under control.

If any revolution will succeed in this country, it must start in the north.

My reason for saying this is very simple; the southerners can easily be divided by the government along tribal lines, religious lines, cultural lines and so many other lines u can think of. The northerners are much more homogenous in their culture; once they band together to take a course of action they are mostly indivisible.

I may be wrong tho, but that is what I think

Person wey score 30 goals in 2 different seasons and 18 goals in 2 different seasons, shey na mate with person wey score just 16 goals in 2 seasons at his peak ?

NB: The former is injury prone while the latter is one healthy sexy moda4ka

TrebleChamp:
True. One can even guess that Pres. Yar'Adua was pressure by powerful people to reverse the sale, since the refineries present probably their biggest avenue to loot the Country without fear of probe. NNPC doing turnaround maintainance on our refineries for years without any end result can be considered the biggest scam ever, we wait to see if Tinubu Presidency will finally get the refineries working again....

Maybe there were powerful hands behind the scene pulling the strings, u never can tell. But the Labour unions and the media kicked against the sale & they were very vocal about it.

The real question is, even if the refineries are eventually turned around successfully can they compete with refineries built from scratch with new modern technology? If the MD of shell as at early 2000's advised Obasanjo to do away with the refineries, does it not suggest that some of the technologies put to use in those refineries are almost obsolete?

Abeg na 300m dollars Tony Elumelu collect for this deal as loan arrangee?

I didn't see any Tony Elumelu or $300m in the screenshot. Maybe u should share the full article so I can understand the full gist.

Dangote used that refinery construction to milk Nigeria off huge dollars, i read a report online years back on this same matter. Reason why i don't hype him that much, cos the man sef follow dey do Nigeria shege....

Who go see mugu and no go chop am ? Shebi dem see Buhari and his Cabinet like that and dem use their head.

But las las, as much as we may want to canonize Yar Adua for the few years he spent at the helms of affairs in this country & things were going smoothly; the truth must be told. If Yar Adua had not reversed the sale of the moribund refinery to Dangote & Otedola backed Consortium that year, we would not be in this position now.

We would by now have at least one working refinery run by the private sector and nobody will be talking about any round tripping of dollars resulting from Emefiele making dollars available to Dangote Refinery at official rate.
