PetsRe: Help, My Dogs Are Dying!!! 4 Dogs In 2 Days by cassytoons: 10:15am On Jul 07, 2015
owner:
Good day Bosses...

Please I need your Urgent help and Advice.

I was at my Kennel 3 Days ago and my 4 Month Old Rottweiler could not eat anything instead she was Vomitting and Passing out Blood from her Anus, before the Arrival of the Vet, The Dog has given up.

Just Yesterday, The Vet came around and he Vaccinated all the Dogs but we lost another Boarboel puppy with the same Problem the First Rot had.

Just this Morning again, I lost another Puppy Boarboel and a 5 Month old Rot Vomitting and Blood from the Anus again.

Please am Afraid and Discouraged, I don't know whats happening..

Someone said it might just be Parvo, Please who has experience this Issue before, Kindly put me through on what to do so this Issue won't happen again, The Vet can't help.

Pls help!!!!
Sorry O, I feel you. I lost 2 dogs (3 yr old Rott and 5 yr old GSD) in the space of one month, The fault was partly caused by me, I stopped given the booster shots cos i thot the Dogs were old enough.

Then I got another Boerbull and I lost it also . unfortunately the soil in the compound was already infected with the virus,
Then I researched and I saw "Parvaid" its an american product but a lot of pple swear by it. I bought the parvaid and got another boerbull, and truly it was infected but survived it after taken the Parvaid. The dog lived to be 8 months ....

I am preparing myself emotionally to have another Dog

But you can give Parvaid a try.

PoliticsThe Simple Arithmetic Of Oil Subsidy by cassytoons(op): 9:51pm On Dec 19, 2011
Being text of a speech delivered by Pastor ‘Tunde Bakare, Serving Overseer of The Latter Rain Assembly, at the church auditorium on Sunday, the 18th day of December, 2011

My objective in this presentation is to confute the confusion created by a government that is hell-bent on the removal of oil subsidy without due regard for the feelings/sufferings of a people being pushed to the wall.

Let me start this presentation from a definitive standpoint and move on to other issues that will bring light and illumination to this manufactured foggy issue. To subsidise is to sell a product below cost of production. Up until this time, neither the federal government nor the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has told us the cost of producing a litre of oil in our Warri, Port Harcourt or Kaduna refineries, so the nation is not in a position to take an informed stand on whether or not oil is being subsidized.

However, according to statistics from the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPRA) and National Bureau of Statistics, getting petrol to Nigerian ports costs N117.74 per litre. And because of deliberated gross inefficiency at the Nigerian ports, an additional cost of N6.25 per litre is incurred. The petrol is usually stored at the ports. It is not transferred directly from the ships to the trucks and so the ports charge N3.00 for storage and an administrative cost of N15.00. Other costs include a bridging fund of N3.95 and then the dealers add their margin of N1.75 per litre. The transporters add their own margin of N2.70, while filling stations add a margin of N4.60. So the cost of fuel at petrol stations comes to N138.19 per litre, or approximately N140.00 per litre. And because it is sold for N65 per litre, the federal government pays the shortfall of N75.00 or thereabout on every litre of petrol. This extra N75.00 called subsidy, is what the government says will bankrupt the nation if it is not stopped forthwith.

If you have followed me so far, it will be clear to you that the federal government is not subsidising the cost of production of refined oil in our nation. What the government is subsidising is the alternative cost of importation. This shows clearly that our leaders have allowed their laziness to envelope the entire nation so that we have corporately become a lazy nation according to the biblical definition. In Proverbs 12:24, the Bible states that

The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting, But diligence is man’s precious possession.
Simply put, due to laziness and lack of diligence, our leaders cannot refine enough crude oil for our consumption.

Furthermore, in addition to its exploration activities, NNPC was given powers and operational interests by enabling legislation in refining petrochemicals, transporting products and marketing. Between 1978 and 1989, NNPC constructed refineries in Warri, Kaduna and Port Harcourt and took over the 35,000-barell Shell refinery established in Port Harcourt in 1965 and expanded it to become a two-tier refinery.

Today, the four refineries in Nigeria currently operate at 21% capacity providing 93,450 litres daily, while, on average, Nigerians use 294,000 litres of fuel per day which means that an additional 200,550 litres is imported to meet the domestic need. If you multiply that figure of 200,550 litres by the N75.00 absurdity called subsidy, Nigeria spends N15 million daily to pay for our leadership failure and pathological laziness.

The federal government has been dangling the carrot of what enormous savings they stand to make and then invest in infrastructural development, mass food production, education, health services and minimum wage. These half truths and easy answers are weapons of mass deception as the government cannot save the entirety of the sum being touted for the simple reason that 40% of total fuel consumption is by the government itself.

Fellow citizens of Nigeria, by removing the subsidy – if we ever allow this to take place – Nigerians will be made to pay for the ineptitude of their leaders and the kleptomania of government functionaries. Like other nations, some less endowed, we have the opportunity to set up our own refineries, refine our products, sell and export refined products, and make money. Instead of doing that, both NNPC and the government “explore sleaze, refine roguery and market sharp practices.” They cannot complain that they import at a high price. It is their idiotic choice and Nigerians should not be made scapegoats for their poor choices.

I have other reasons why Nigerians at home and abroad, young and old, must stand against the removal of this absurdity called subsidy, so that the government can be compelled to look inward and stop fleecing the poor people of this nation.

Successive governments have failed to explain why the refineries have remained incapacitated despite humongous investments over the years on Turn Around Maintenance (TAM);
At present, the four (4) refineries in Nigeria operate at 21% of their total capacity and produce 93,450 litres per day. We have not been told the cost per litre as earlier mentioned and the reason is not farfetched – the disparity between local cost of production and cost of importation will glaringly show the cost of our leaders’ negligence and incompetence. To show the lack of foresight and unpardonable haemorrhaging of our national economy, if the refineries are made to run at only 66% capacity, they would produce more than the 294,000 litres needed domestically everyday;
Nigeria under irresponsible leadership prides itself as the sixth (6th) largest producer of oil while wearing the shameful badge of being one of the highest importers of petroleum products, paying as much as N1.3 trillion to sacred fat cats that are untouchable because of compromises at the highest level of government in our nation. Whereas nations more or less endowed as we are, like Libya and Venezuela, refine their own crude oil. Venezuela does not even export a drop of crude. Why does our country continue to export crude oil to countries that then refine and sell it back to us at higher prices?
Why does NNPC leave its own storage facilities unused and proceed to incur additional costs from leasing third party storage facilities? The DPK tanks with a storage capacity of 18,000 cubic metres at the PPMC depots within the Mosimi area have not been used for three years, though they are in good condition. The cost of leasing third party facilities is passed to the government and entered as subsidy in the books. The owners of these third party facilities are not faceless people, they are part of the cartel siphoning the resources of our nation. They cannot do it without the collaboration of those in the corridors of power;
The federal government of Nigeria does not tell the whole truth each time it trumpets and blows its propaganda machinery that the present N65.00 per litre we pay for petrol is the lowest in the world. Put side by side with the cost per litre of petrol in other oil producing nations, ours is one of the highest:
Iran sells for N58.40 per litre
Kuwait: N30.66 per litre
Qatar: N32.12 per litre
Saudi Arabia: N17.52 per litre
United Arab Emirates: N54.02 per litre
Libya: N15.95 per litre
This oil subsidy saga to me is the proverbial handwriting on the wall and this government has taken the toga of Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, to further concretise the suffering of our people in the midst of plenty. Rehoboam thought he could continue the profligacy of his father, but the people that were pushed to the wall kicked back because they could not comprehend why their nation had everything but the citizens paradoxically lacked everything.

A cursory look at this scandalous precedent in the Bible and the attendant consequence that ensued will show to the wise and discerning the end-product of taking the people you are meant to serve for granted.

The abundance the land of Israel experienced in the days of Solomon can be likened to the period of our oil boom when one of our military leaders exclaimed that Nigeria’s problem is not money, but how to spend it.
Let’s check the Scriptures for indicators of King Solomon’s stupendous wealth:

AutosRe: Congestion At The Port ? by cassytoons(op): 10:44am On Mar 22, 2011
Hmm, after all the delay. i got the car eventually, though i was pissed at first but after seeing the car delivered intact, no pilferage, no missing item, what else can i say. ,
thanks all for the concern.
AutosRe: Congestion At The Port ? by cassytoons(op): 7:47am On Mar 15, 2011
It will suprise you that I have not seen the car even till now, the last story he gave was that the car has been released and he is waiting for the driver assigned to drive it.
I even offered to drive it myself but he said. I shouldn't bother
I am begining to feel funny about his whole story,
I am even thinking maybe I should just go to the port and ask around, to ascertain if my car is still there or not.

ayotee2000:
I drive a VW Golf 4. In comparison to most Japanese cars, it's acceleration is superb, the AC freezes much faster and it's has excellent stability on the ground esp when swerving.

I'll confess and say that maintaining it is a bit more than the average Japanese car would cost me, but I get value back in my pleasurable ride. And yes, the brakes are wonderful. You can stop on a dime, seriously!
I think wth dat advert, am buying a aGolf next, grin

I would say its just a case of demand and supply (price).
I drive a 406 myself, 1998 executive
I've heard a lot of pple say the cost of maintenance is high but come to think of it, What car made between 2001 -2002 have so cheap spares huh? My alternator is N5K, my A/c compressor N6K, and Engine price is from N80K upward.  Yeah prestige spares might be more expensive than mine.
Go round check the spares of other cars of the same year and make ur conclusion.
Wont think its a thing of maintenance price but I think pple in Nigeria got tired of peugeot after 504
Fuel efficiency = 10Litres for 100km (I mean on the highway)
Durability = I would say they are durable
The only thing am worrying about the car is that ma friends have complained about its maintenance costs, durability, fuel efficiency
Wat exactly is your friend complaining about huh? Wat is his maintenance culture like huh

Just my personal opinion - I stand corrected

@ all posters with negative feedbacks

In as much I love naira land, I would for once agree that a lot of people on NL just come here to display their pent up anger by giving negative feedbacks on all most every subject, I kinda understand cos its all caused by the ASUU strike ,
But at least lets still be logical,
of all that has left negative feedbacks lets take a quick survey (1) - How many have seen a plane on the tarmac talkless of fly in one huh
(2) How many work in the transport not to talk of the aviation sector huh? (3) How many are frequent flyers huh? (4) How many are conversant with the regulations guiding aviation sectors huh?
If we go on and on , we will still narrow it down to the fact that "Empty barrels makes the most noise" (They know nothing about the subject but still wants to sound politically correct),
Pls let read logical and superior argument that will benefit all than come here to display transferred aggression
