I just received a copy of The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power by Daniel Yergin. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prize:_The_Epic_Quest_for_Oil,_Money,_and_Power I doubt I'd ever read it myself, but the index has a whole heap on Nigeria that I do intend to read because knowledge is what will place the future in our hands. If anyone does read it (and I tell you, it is readable just that my eyes don't work so well no more), do come educate buda please.

It is just one person And you can't see how conveniently the thousands of actual proven cases of racial discrimination are being ignored here, it must be the left that is pushing an agenda, Ben?

Igbos must be smarter than this though if potential is to be fulfilled!  kirajustice: POLITICSNIGERIA.COM
Ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo has denied backing an igbo presidency in 2023, POLITICS NIGERIA has learned.
Obasanjo on Saturday refuted reports that he supported the clamour for Igbo presidency.
It can be recalled that the former leader while receiving a 2023 presidential aspirant, Mao Ohuabunwa, last week, reportedly stated that he would like to see a South-Easterner become President as they have a lot to contribute to the country.
However, in a swift response through his Media Aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, OBJ denied ever making such a comment.
He criticised Ohuabunwa and accused him of being behind the report. "If that was the way the presidential aspirant wanted to approach his ambition; such was a wrong way."
"He came here and the former President received him as a gentleman and in the spirit of his 85th birthday celebrations only for him to go and put words into his mouth. Baba is not that sort of man and if that is the way he wants to fulfil his ambition that is a wrong way."
Barely 11 months to the 2023 general elections, there is a central thread of discourse in the nation on the possibility of a president of Igbo extraction. Proponents of the quest for a Nigerian leader from the Igbo dominated South east axis premise it on six standpoints: Tripod nature of the nation, equity, justice, unity, peace and fair play.
Some of the contenders for the presidency from the South-East are Anyim Pius Anyim and Dave Umahi (Ebonyi State), Kingsley Moghalu (Anambra State), Orji Uzor Kalu and Sam Ohuabunwa (Abia State), Rochas Okorocha (Imo State), Chris Baywood of Baywood Foundation (Enugu) and others expected to make their intention known in the coming days.
While Kalu, Umahi and Okorocha are members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the likes of Anyim and Ohuabunwa are in the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

That's 6 people, Ben. And even if it's 60, still a tiny percentage of any group you put them in and a very tiny number compared to instances where the allegations were actually true! Go on, Ben, I dare you to provide a list of people found guilty and jailed for racial abuse. Let's see if you find as many as 6. |

Kingcalls: Thats the effect we are witnessing now...broken down marriages and family... single parents, terrible kids being raised... cant u see the world started becoming crazy when they got liberation.... the family Union collapsed... there's a reason God Almighty made it that way ... ... No, Kingcalls. I "cant u see the world started becoming crazy when they got liberation". What I see is archaic backward bushmen putting the equivalent of the hijab on women's minds and mouths and brain so you don't have to hear how miserable you make them. Thankfully, women are now so liberated, they sit in judgement of you. And that bit about "God Almighty made it that way", do you seriously think you can hide behind a text written by oppressive ignorant men to justify your oppressing? I guess Eve hasn't yet given you the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil to eat, because if you'd eaten it you'd know by now that you were lied to about the woman being your rib! |

Raypawer: Currently NNPC is regulating everything, that's how they are able to pay subsidy
First of all, according to NNPC, they are the only once importing Fuel,
All the independent importers have been halted or they are now doing sub contract for NNPC, if their claim is true
That's why the downstream sector is regulated.
If we take NNPC out of the picture, Nigeria will blossom in a matter of 1 or 2 months, that has been our request for a while now
Total Deregulation of the Downstream Sector
It's the regulation from NNPC that is sending away alot of investors and big players But local modulars don't need subsidy, since they are not importing, so why should they do the opposite of what would allow them to blossom by putting NNPC in the picture? Remove "regulation from NNPC that is sending away a lot of investors and big players" from what you are suggesting, and I will invest in your wonderful blossoming idea, is what I'm saying. NNPC has far too much work to do already, so let them let modulars assist them without NNPC interference. |
Politics › Re: Modular Refineries Can’t Refine Fuel Due To Price Regulation – NNPC by budaatum: 12:13am On Mar 12, 2022 |
Raypawer: I like your view, but the point here is not paying them to run at a loss,
No, no, my point is that the modular refineries should as much as possible try to stay in operations
As we stand now, we are paying subsidy heavily and the modular refineries are not working, we are loosing heavily on both ends
Look at it from this angle, the modular refineries produce even if its 35% of total consumption in Nigeria, which will minimise their loss, and at the same time they are in operation
They then present what they have to NNPC, since NNPC is the sole importer now (according to them).
NNPC buys from them, and NNPC will sell to Nigerians at what ever rate they wish. Why should NNPC buy from local producers, Ray? Can local producers not find market of their own? Subsidies distort market for local producers to the benefit of importers, and Nigerians really ought to be on the streets protesting against it. If subsidies are removed, local producers will fill the market and competition will eventually suppress cost and price and increase employment opportunities instead of providing employment where we buy from! |

GOD DID NOT CONCLUDE HER TRIAL.
THE CURSES (JUDGEMENT) SHE GOT ARE ONLY "INTERIM ORDERS".
FINAL JUDGEMENT HAS NOT BEEN DELIVERED TO HER, YET.
THUS, HER CASE IS STILL PENDING, AWAITING FINAL JUDGEMENT!
THAT IS HOW GREAT HER OFFENCE WAS. So, you agree they did not die, but their eye's opened and they became like God, knowing good and evil, instead of living like ignorant naked slaves? Dt! Open your eyes and read the "FINAL JUDGEMENT" of Eve, please, and quote it to show you actually see it. Then shall we discuss Eve's 'offence'. 16 To the woman he said,
“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children.(Z) Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.(AA)”
17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’(AB)
“Cursed(AC) is the ground(AD) because of you; through painful toil(AE) you will eat food from it all the days of your life.(AF) 18 It will produce thorns and thistles(AG) for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.(AH) 19 By the sweat of your brow(AI) you will eat your food(AJ) until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”(AK)
20 Adam[c] named his wife Eve,[d](AL) because she would become the mother of all the living. |

benalvino3: why not just go to Lagos and select an ID from yaba and present it. i pick your Letter, I went to a guy to make an ID of a company that doesn't exist or even if it exists...
When cops stop you and ask for your Drivers license... why do they verify it from their database? because it can be forged. ID has to be verified as well. Going with your work ID will not allow the workers at the polling station to verify you. Make it easy for yourself... get the right ID. You usually think the majority says something so that thing must be correct because of democracy. well, more than 70% want voter ID. So, you want to "just go to Lagos and select an ID from yaba and present it" to vote in USA elections, Ben? Can you tell me how many people would be pathetic like you and for one vote "just go to Lagos and select an ID from yaba and present it"? If more than 70% want id then they should give themselves id, but I very much doubt 70% of Americans want government issued ID, Ben. In the American psyche, however, a national ID card conjures images of an all-knowing government, its agents stopping people on the street and demanding to see their papers. Or at least that’s what leaders of both parties believe. The idea is presumed to be so toxic that not a single member of Congress is currently carrying its banner. Even those advocates who like the concept in theory will discuss its political prospects only with a knowing chuckle, the kind that signals that the questioner is a bit crazy. “There are only three problems with a national ID: Republicans hate it, Libertarians hate it, and Democrats hate it,” says Kathleen Unger, the founder of VoteRiders, an organization devoted to helping people obtain ID. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/08/voting-rights-national-id-card/619772/ |
