What indices were used to arrive at this list?

Were they arranged in any order?

I am yet to see or hear of the promised huge benefits of our standard built satelites in areas of intelligence, disaster mgt, agriculture, weather, etc.

Now this!!

My take: if we can't reproduce or improve o
n an existing technologies, we should be humble and procure! Soon another person will use a discarded motor car engine to build what he would call a chopper!!

I am grossly inclined to believe Soludo!! Facts will always win arguments that is for when the audience has brains.

When Reverend(in the true meaning of the word) Catholic leaders and other non-political Men of God talk, the politicians listen, the main reason is because they know they have no political affiliation. A few examples: Cardinal Okojie, Cardinal Onaikan, Bishop My Man Kukah, and even recently, a certain Catholic Bishop laid it bare before Jonathan and Dickson at Azazi's burial, etc. Bakare and his politicized likes will never be taken seriously because they have soiled their hands.

See distraction!! That soldier by her right can no longer point his gone straight!

Wondering why all of them are closely packed in the same range. This sounds unreal though. Haven't seen Joke Sylva.

Lets see what will happen if Dangote uses the BRT lane

Hey, Warri is not a hell hole, Warri is an oil city that is better than Abuja in the eyes of Waferians. You are not from Warri that is why you cannot appreciate the city. Please Identify what the governor has not done in warri that should be done. Uduaghan is doing well and Delta State is working, to God be the glory.

I will not blame you until I know where you are coming from. You were probably living in a mangrove creek before now, so Warri has to be comparable to the Abuja described to you by a blind man.

The only visible sign of Uduaghan in Warri is the demolition/reconstruction of primary schools not done during long vacations; forcing children to sit outside to learn.

Innoson is making great strides, most likely because it is a private firm.

Remember that a government partnered company in Eastern Nigeria, ANAMMCO, Enugu, was making powerfully strong buses.

PTF bought their 1414 buses for most Fed universities then.

Unfortunately, they have run ANAMMCO down!!

You guys buy oyinbo rejected salvaged and obsolete 'tokunbo' cars then start whining.

there is no car mentioned that someone somewhere is not having a good time with.

before you buy next time, check the history

Any Government policy on oil whether subsidy,deregulation or what ever poo i dont understand will always be perfect for a nation.The two prominent things that make things go wrong is corruption and greed.

Even at the current price,fuel price in Nigeria is still low compared to prices in the US and UK
Subsidy or No Subsidy,the problem with Naija is leadership.
It would make more sense if protests were staged to drag incompetent leaders out of office than protest against economic measures.

Its time we drag down our over paid senators and other government officials who wants to live an American lifestyle even though our GDP is less than 1% of America's GDP,

‎1) One barrel of Crude oil = 42gallons or
159 litres

,  2) Our Refineries (i.e 4) Installed
(combined) capacity = 445,000
,  barrels per day

3) Actual refineries capacity due to
ageing equipment = 30% i.e. 133,500
barrels per day
.
4) . . 133,500 barrels = 21.2 million litres

5) Local required consumption (F.O.S) =
12millions litres

6) It means that even our MORIBOND
refineries can actually meet our local
consumption need of petroleum.

7) The cost structure of crude oil (i.e.
Qua Iboe Crude Oil) production;
- Findings / development - $3.5
- Production cost - $1.5
- Refining Cost - $12.6
- Pipeline/transportation - $1.5
- Distr/bridging fund Margin -$15.69

True cost of one litre of petroleum
anywhere in Nigeria;
- Total sum cost = $34.8
- 1ltr cost = $34.8/159 litres = $0.219
- Naira equiv. 0.219xN160= N35.02k
- Add Tax N5 + N35.02 = N40.02

9) Let FGN refute the above composition
and if not, they should tell us how
they came about N65/litre.

10) Locally refined products cannot be
sold at International price.

11) We really do not need FGN SUBSIDY
as there was NONE in the first place.

12) What is LACKING, is the WILL to
enforce LAW ON CORRUPTION.

We still stand a chance as a COUNTRY.
Analysis done by Professor Tam David West, former Petroleum Minister.

This analysis is totally flawed and I should be ashamed if it came from a Minister of the Federal Republic, not to talk of a professor.

The assumption that 1 barrel of crude = 159 litres of crude = 159 litres of PMS (petrol), men!!!!

that caption sounded sacarstic to me!! just saying,

Madam Plea Bargain!!! Gone for good. EFCC has shown lack of competence in prosecution of cases.

This is their normal work flow:

1. Receive petition
2. Call the culprit and ask him to take off
3. Declare him wanted (enough media noise)
4. After looong delay, he shows up
5. Arrainged
6. Obtain bail (same guy that was on the run gets a bail)
7. Investigation starts
8. One year later, amend charges
9. Negotiate a plea bargain
10. Culprit Organises a thanksgiving!!!
Case closed!!

Orode Uduaghan

there are lots of businesses and people living all around the axis affected, why single out Shell and Chevron for specific mention? are they more important than the others who are being inconvenienced? #justasking

There is no denying the fact that these two major multinationals directly or indirectly supply up to 60 -70% of the wealth that sustains the inhabitants of Waffi Kingdom.


My question: Couldn't this traditional marriage that lasts for 3 days be held in the Warri Township Stadium?

there is nothing too outrageous here. The list is lengthy but definitely not too expensive.

Ordinarily, you may have decided to buy the dress for your father and mother-in-law but now, it is standardised and made ''simpler'' for you.

You would have bought all the food items mentioned or even more, but no one will raise an eyelid if what they requested is not enough.

Catering: What were you gonna spend on catering services? check this:

13).   FOR THE PEOPLE THAT DO THE COOKING:
A).   A CRATE OF MINERAL   (less than 1k)
B).   A CARTON OF BEER      (Star is a premium beer, <1.7k
C).   A PACKET OF CABIN BISCUIT   ( 0.15k)
D).   A BOTTLE OF SCHNAPPS    (no particular brand < .5k)
E).   A GALLON OF PALM WINE    (depending on season, <2k)
F).   KITCHEN SUPPORT N2,000.00

can it get cheaper anywhere in the world to hire caterers?  


However, nothing there is beyond negotiation!! Best of luck.

By the way, I am married!!

cas-cas,
if your using a one-off payment plan like mine, don't count on the insurance people doing that
for you.

in my own case i was handed the sim pack meaning they have given me complete control.

My insurance installed and renews the service even though I can contact the tracking company on my own.

But the fact is that if you have a comprehensive insurance, u need not bother. If the car gets missing, it is left for the insurance company to find it by every means, if they like , use jazz else, they pay!!

i dont trust this Boko Harem. he might be gathering intelligence for his 'cell' seeking where to blow up!

You sound so right: there was a bomb scare on Freeman House (Shell's office); one of the listed http://dailytimes.com.ng/article/bomb-scare-shell-office

there had been one on NNPC Towers

What I think is: It should be the responsibility of your tracking company to register the sims they installed in trackers.

Anyways, my tracker was installed by my insurance, if they do not register, ncc blocks, God forbid my car gets missing, wallahi they must pay!!!

I noticed how old the youngest of them all is (1995?). My question is; what legacies are our generation leaving behind?

You, of all people, should know that when a person dies, only an autopsy can confirm the real cause of death.  Sources have confirmed that the man did not die from the gun shot, but from cardiac arrest. olodo

Of course, it was a shot on the chest, the ''heart was attacked''

[size=8pt]Tinubu made us know he is a suspected sponsor of Boko Haram. Usually, this kind of accusation is hard to prove by prosecutors. I think govt wants another reason, (this case) to cage him behind bars in a fight against BH.

All these talk of, ''they are after me, they are after me'', it does not move me; Just answer your case! This is why I never pitied Chuba Okadigbo against OBJ, Diya against Abacha, So  many Vs Ribadu's EFCC etc.

If you are smart enough to know they are after you, then be smart and play clean!!![/size]

Sangooo 84 committees doing what exactly

there is so much money to share!!

My wife is sexiest whenever she is in that important part of the house.   Each time I show up, something usually happens!!! These days, if I join her, even on serious purpose, she begs me to consider time for the meal and just hang on elsewhere. Am I weird?

GEJ has not recovered from ''having no shoes''!!! He stilll thinks if he matches on any designer shoe - clad toes, he will get the dirtiest slap of his life. An un-exercised power is wasted.

this thread sounds like a marketing stunt
And why are all the empty houses? Don't we have enough billionaires again? Something is wrong!
Very soon, and very very soon, our overpriced real estate sector will take their turn in crashing.
How can I explain a plot of land in my village going for N2m+

This is strange and weird, if not crazy!!!
You needed proper counselling before going for such a ''minor'' but expensive surgery.
And again, right now, you also need counselling: both of you!!!
A $12k surgery that may not work? And who tells you humans can ALWAYS have a baby when they want to, even if there was no procedure ab initio?

Boko Haram is a today's problem, as such, we do not need any ''wealth of experience'' of Gen Gusau to handle it. We need wisdom instead.
