IAMTHEHERO:
Why shifting the goal post(blame) from our people who run transport companies to marketers. As par the government you mentioned, please read my original post OK. Let me refresh your memory: It is only APC government that removed subsidy and we never protested. If they actually have vision, this fuel scarcity is avoidable. They would have made plans and flooded all the storage tanks in the country with FUEL since August/September/October against December.

No goal post was shifted. Fuel Scarcity has to do with the marketers while unreasonable hiking of TFare has to do with transporters. Yet you do not understand my stand. The starting point of the solution is to stimulate local production to meet our local consumption. I have no damn eyelid movement for protest or no protest for as long as I'm concerned Nigerians have never held a genuine protest in this country.

The right system is what we need and only Nigerians can do that themselves by changing for the better because they all rotten deep down in their mind.

IAMTHEHERO:
How much is the price of fuel in the south east as at today? How much is the cost of a toyota hiace bus as for today?Why didn't the transporters hike the price to 15,000 in the previous administrations? Do the buses run on water? Please you can't defend the defenseless. This APC govt has caused more woes and sorrows to Nigerians more than any other government in Nigeria. Instead of you to blame on the APC visionless government you are here blaming the citizens. What a shame!!

Guy be objective. There has never been a political party in Nigeria but groups of greedy interest. The problem is the people. Marketers holding the government to ransome to increase pump prize because the government has a poor system in place to prevent such. No government and I repeat none has ever led Nigerians with a vision. I don't take sides but tell you the truth. Until you all change and use integrity and productivity as your innate watch word Nigerian will remain a shackle.

Lomprico2:
If you were a transporter and buys fuel for 250 per litre. By how much will u increase ur fare in order to go home with something? Lets say a distance of lag-ph which is 7500 when fuel was 145 per litre.

You do your calculation and you will find out that they are making more profit other than making up the difference.

Okay let me help you out. At 145*70= 10,150. Lets say they use 3 full tanks to complete a trip and a fare of 7,500*14=105,000-30,450= 74,550 profit per trip.

250*70=17,500. 3 full tank is 52,500. 15,000*14= 210,000. 210,000-52,500= 157,500.

You can reassess too. But from the above, they are smiling to the bank.

IAMTHEHERO:
You have claimed now that it is an annual ritual in order to exonerate the incompetent and directionless government of Buhari and APC. Let me tell you why Buhari's fuel scarcity is the most painful: Buhari and co removed fuel subsidy with a promise that there will be no scarcity of fuel again. Nigerians stupidly believed him and never protested against his decision. Today, some of us couldn't go to east for the first time in 18 years because of transport is 15,000 just going alone. Let me advise you,LionDeleo, never you carry this your attitude of supporting evil enter year 2018.

Buhari never made transport to be 15,000 but your own greedy people. There is no justification for such an hike in transport fares even if the situation necessitate it an increase.

Write2018:
So this whole thing is about increasing fuel price

You know know before. I knew from the start that marketers are the plot of the artificial scarcity all because they want to smile to the bank. Well the onus still falls on the government, because if the right system has been in place, it will be difficult for gold diggers to exploit

What are they to use themselves as a model. Pride

porka:
Nigeria does not need any parliamentary system of government.

What Nigeria needs is a good electoral system.

Parliamentary system works well where people cherish the principles of consensus building and give and take.

Nigeria is too disorderly for such a system.

Nigerians are cannot trust each other.

There is no region that can survive this system.

Imagine for a second if Nigeria were Germany where the Chancellor is still struggling to form her government after several months of election. (Note - this is not the same as Buhari taking eternity to appoint ordinary ministers.)

Italy and Japan were practically changing prime ministers every 1 or 2 years in the recent past.

Imagine the chaos and the level of instability that would have caused the Nigeria's economy.

And it is not that Nigeria has not practiced it before.

Parliamentary system was what our founding fathers started with in the 1960s shortly after Independence.

It failed woefully.

The military simply took advantage of lack of cohesion to stage their coup d'etat which led to us where we are now.

Nigerian politicians are even more unruly now than they were in those days.

The country itself is just too fragmented now, more than at any time in our history.

How would the APC have functioned in a parliamentary system with their disjointed structure where everyone is the lord?

You can argue for eternity about the cost of running a presidential system, it won't change anything. It is not that the parliamentary system too would be entirely free of costs.

Moreover, it is doubtful if there are verifiable scientific evidence (published researches/studies) supporting the assertion.

Much of the argument on cost reductions have been purely conjectures at best and wishful thinking at worst.

Nigeria needs strong electoral system and this presidential system would just be fine.

This is the 18th straight year we have been on it.

One of the main problems right now is that the traditional watchdogs - the civil society and the media - are not effective with holding Buhari to account on many fronts.

They seem to be struggling with playing their role in the age of new media or they have been bought or cowed into submission.

The Nigeria's media and the intelligentsia were most feared and indeed respected across the world.

Until they fell into Buhari and his government's spell by helping to dish out lies and demonic propaganda - becoming accomplices in disparaging people's characters.

Why have you failed to sight UK and Canada Parliamentary System and likewise Spain. We can sit down and structure our parliamentary system to fit our complexity and diversity.

Was he not putting on protective gears?

MrHistorian:
Whoever that wishes you death shall die before you Yusuf Buhari.

What if it is his own exuberance

Eaa247:
f**k off my friend. can a 'mosque road' in d north be renamed after a southern politician?
FYI dat road is a church road.

Your headache. Does that make the road holy or unholy. Why not prove that you can be sensible.

As long as NBS does not have a record of those employed, then their stats is bullshit to me.

Eaa247:
keep ur mouth shut if u ve noting to say. u writing out of context? seems u don't understand d topic of discussion.
I am not against Rochas naming any road after any personality but it must not b an ancient road that has been in existence even b4 his father was born.
if he wants to name a road after anybody let him build such a road.

Grandpa, sorry. E pain you. The whole scenario points to two facts, the annoyance towards Rochas and the hatred towards Buhari. So that is the context of the story. Na today them they rename road?
I beg go si down

tribalistseun:
why don't you animals give them biafra that they're looking for, na by force to stay with you animals?

It is only an animal that can see an animal. Why don't you start from somewhere if you need biafra. No one will stop you from travelling through ABC, Peace Mass or GIG. You all can even use flight. Go and prove yourself and stop ranting. Remember to call all your brothers developing the world in Malaysia, China, and all other countries too.
As I've said no one will stop you and your people from going back home.
Happy Yuletide season.

If igbos are this in nature, let them all simply go live within their geographical region, do their business there and grow their own economy and environment. But as long as they aren't, let them learn to live with others

How does this make sense.

For me the marketers are the cause of this issue. They want to force the government to either increase the pump price

resurgentxtian4:
Do your worst if it is not. Majority of Nigerians want restructuring or Biafra so that the unruly Igbos can determine their own future and stop blaming us all.

Hi, its 19:24. Time for checkup

Indigenization needs to be abolished in Nigeria with immediate effect if we need to survive together.

wakaman:
This must be victimization because she is Igbo, oya ipob boycott Nigeria.

It's time for checkup

lady2sexy1:
yeah, you had that right, the current infrastructural development in your state.

well I will declare the floor open. am from Imo state and I must confess my state have witnessed an unprecedented infrastructural development in recent times and tourism and hospitality is in all time high.

Please show us where the citizenry stays

NwaChibuzor808:
Buhari is a Muslim, he is anti-christian ,he has no business with christmas. He looked for the perfect time to make Nigerians most especially christians suffer. Islam is truly the religion of peace.

I think I share in your thought.

[quote author=tmann626 post=63543298]If you are a Nigerian and you are still supporting APC or Buhari. It means you are a fool. Quote me anywhere. [/quotle]
Please let us hear word. Is APC and PDP ghost. Nigerians should start to change themselves first.

Japan is one of the world’s most civilized societies, a country where no one and nothing is above the law, no exceptions. Even the most minor of driving offenses like the one that got the driver of this orange Lamborghini into trouble aren’t left to slide.

It all started when the driver of an orange Lamborghini Huracan ran a red light and was seen by a patrol Officer , who was patrolling the area on a bicycle. 

Without thinking twice, the officer proceeds to chase the traffic code violator, and miraculously catches up with the 610-horsepower supercar shortly after, pulling it over. 

The driver submits, and in another unexpected turn of events, the patrol officer kneels down so that he can talk to the driver at eye level.

[img]https:///a/img923/8002/2Hptnp.png[/img]

From this position, the patrol cop proceeds to write a ticket, after which the two went their separate ways, and everyone lives happily ever after.

If you thought that it’s strange for the Huracan driver not to resist getting a ticket, don’t forget that politeness is an integral part of Japanese culture, and it’s utmost important to be humble when caught in the wrong.

Do you think the Nigerian police and traffic officers can show these kind of politeness and respect to the citizenry?

Can the citizenry also behave themselves

MrHistorian:
Online Criticisms really does not reflect the situation on ground in the Nigeria polity.

Who will believe that despite the severe opprobrium that trails Yahya Bello's governance.. He will not be stoned to death in any public outing??

Some Idiots even have the temerity to endorse him for 2019. . .Someone that should be on the brink of impeachment.

Shior

Most of the people you see there does not know if Nairaland exists. All they care about is 1000 Naira each

braxjay:
One of the major problem in Nigeria is that everything is somehow left for the government to handle.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester Clubs, Barcelona Etc are not owned by governmental bodies but by individuals.

i may be wrong in some assumptions but if individuals NOT state can own and manage clubs and make it independent of the state,
maybe just maybe the Nigerian league will become more interesting because there will be real scout for talent not the politics that goes on currently.

and things like this would not be happening.

my words not copied.

Unfortunately, football isn't lucrative in Nigeria for the rich. The clubs are not financially innovative, lack social and corporate branding. Hence they are in a mess compared to the likes of foreign clubs
