bjcole: You are talking scraps. The price of petrol is dependent on the current exchange, crude and petrol.are all international products and unfortunately Nigeria govt is do dependent on earning forex from sales of crude. Until we can operate like Liya, Saudi Arabia etc where the govt prioritize local consumption, then Nigerians can begin to enjoy less expensive petrol. We need leaders that are not selfish, leaders that truly want this country to work, not personal pockets. Prfft! When you said I was talking crap, I thought you had something different to say other than the usual murmurings and unnecessary complains that's the habitual anthem of the average Nigerian.

But wait o, is it that basic understanding of everyday dynamics is a problem for Nigerians?
Yes, the Dangote refinery is producing fuel and already selling same into the Nigerian markets, but it is equally exporting fuel to other international markets as we previously read on this same platform. Even if Dangote concentrates on feeding our market, the current output is not going to meet the daily fuel needs of 220 million Nigerians.
Don't even get me started on the Port Harcourt refinery because that one is still on shaky grounds, post rehabilitation. We're yet to be certain even, as to what's coming out of there and into our consumer markets.
Then factor in the fact that we are still buried deep in the menace of fuel smuggling across International borders and this is a scourge that's a daily source of income for thousands of Nigerians engaged in it.
If we abruptly cease importation of petroleum products at this point, the magnitude of scarcity that's going to hit us will have all of you here lamenting and abusing the government.
This thing is a process. Those of you who were born during the privatization of the Telecommunications sector in OBJ's regime can recall how long it took for us to start buying SIM cards for 200 naira. The healthy competition and reduced prices vis-a-vis the surplus availability of petrol that y'all are clamouring for, is going to take a decent while.

The UN itself has not designated the war in Gaza as a genocide .
Let me ask you the same question what makes the war in Gaza a genocide? The deaths or intent of the state of israel Your stupidity beggars pity.
Even with that bold heading citing the findings to be that of a special UN committee, you're daft enough to try twisting words that everyone can see clearly. Everyone except your unfortunate and intellectually malnourished self.
Where stupidity exists as a word in the dictionary, it should be boldly replaced with your passport photograph. Such a properly curated dunderhead meant to be the poster-child of uncommon idiocy.

BiafranPatriot: That guy is actually correct. You are essentially dull and laughing at your foolishness
When constructing roads, soil test are carried out to determine different factors ranging from..
Piling.... Dredging depth (Incase of Pillars) Texture and moisture retention capabilities
and so many much more.
The simplest form of road build that doesn't require drainages abounds in different scenarios. On the surface the road looks Level, but in closer inspection the roads are actually slanting..to right or the left. This makes stagnant water from rainfall run off the road to the side where the soil absorbs it
Yoruba man..I will not educate you again. You have just shown that you are essentially a noisemaker without common sense.
Before you come online to expose yourself research and apply common sense
Nonsense Which then implies that roads constructed in riverine areas mostly don't need drainages😂? I want to fully understand the extent of your and his foolishness before I comment further. Let me know what I'm dealing with. |

EmekaA125: Shut up your mouth. You don't know that soil test is usually conducted before road construction to determine if a road should have drainage or not. Rivers State communities are mostly riverine and they don't need drainage on both sides. Same technology was applied in Anambra West LGA of Anambra which was considered a riverine area of the State. What you don't know, ask. This is unarguably the stupidest opinion I have read on an issue on nairaland in the last one week! That roads constructed in riverine areas mostly don't need drainages?

Not one. The UN has not designated the war a genocide because it isn't.
Did you know Gaza's population is now more than what it was before the war started. Even from the Snapshots that guy sent you, one of the articles lucidly quotes a UN statement as saying that Israel's actions in Gaza are consistent with genocidal acts, yet you're still asking dumb questions and reasoning like an intoxicated possum.

Merz said in an interview with Stern that he would demand an end to military action in Ukraine, for which Moscow would be given 24 hours. If this ultimatum is not fulfilled, Merz will supply Kiev with Taurus cruise missiles and lift the ban on long-range weapons strikes deep into Russian territory.

TV/Movies › Re: Netflix Stops Buying Nigerian Content - Kunle Afolayan by BoldBrainz(m): 7:55pm On Dec 04, 2024 |
Douglad: you are one not too blind to whatever point you are trying to make.
there is a big difference between recouping revenue when you have expenses in the market and recouping revenue when you have zero expenses.
the decision to not purchase any local content puts netflix in the latter category because the expenses they were making while in the former were more than the revenue they were recouping. This is the simple fact of it all and there is absolutely nothing to dance around. Now, they can actually make a profit even if it is one or two or three subscribers.
they thought buying local content to put on their site would grow the subscriber base and it didn't and so they stopped. why did it not grow? because of the poor, shitty economy. i don't even understand the silly point you are trying to make here. For some reason, Nairaland is not letting me upload photos. I just saw a more updated version of this news on X where it's been confirmed that Netflix has pulled out of the Nigerian market. As stated in my first comment, it is in this circumstance that we can both agree that Economic factors are largely responsible. But having this assumption on the back of Afolayan's disclosure about the Nigerian contents, was hasty and unnecessary. |
TV/Movies › Re: Netflix Stops Buying Nigerian Content - Kunle Afolayan by BoldBrainz(m): 7:43pm On Dec 04, 2024 |
Douglad: What you are asking is for Netflix to allow other countries subsidise the Nigerian market and that is actually the nonsensical argument here. Netflix is a public company that is expected to show quarterly increase in their revenue and profit if they hope to maintain or grow their current stock price. What you want them to do increases their overall expenses in the Nigerian market without making any extra revenue as the rest of the populace are too poor to afford their subscription. Allowing Nigerians access to the contents of Netflix without buying local content does not remove a dime from their pocket but adds an extra negligible revenue to their overall earnings. The company is not a charity. South Africa with has 4 times less the population of nigeria has 10 times the amount of subscribers. it is a simple numbers game. You're dancing around with a lot of unnecessary semantics. As long as Netflix still streams in Nigeria, it recoups revenue, whether the market here is half the size that's obtainable in Saotome and Principé or twice as much. It will make no sense for them to abandon our local content over revenue drops when it is actually that content that appeals more to this target market. Something else has to be responsible, but this logic you're trying to sell is just not flying. |
TV/Movies › Re: Netflix Stops Buying Nigerian Content - Kunle Afolayan by BoldBrainz(m): 7:22pm On Dec 04, 2024 |
Douglad: pulling investment due to poor roi is a myopic take? wow! Now please tell me what your wonderful take on this situation is. i am all ears. If a deficit in ROI was the reason for Netflix's decision, it is safe to say that they will entirely pull out of the Nigerian market and not refrain from buying our local contents. Netflix provides diverse contents to its consumers and as long as they still render services within the country, it implies that their consumers are still streaming contents being provided from other countries movie industries, rendering your argument about ROI redundant. It will even be more reasonable to assume that they stopped because Nollywood lately has become too saturated with the same storylines, thereby reducing users' interests in local contents and subsequently depleting viewership. But arguing that this move results from a failing Nigerian economy, sounds quite nonsensical anyway you slice it. |
