Several rubber, palm and Timber plantations in Delta state as well.

I believe they also own huge shares of Dunlop as well.
Some of their businesses are dead due to the decline in the Nigerian economy but they were so diversified, the money still dey!

However there has been a lot of infighting in the family. So a lot of inheritance cases before the courts.

While it is an improvement, we need to do more. 5Trillion Naira in 6 months is only $7billion or $14b p.a pro-rata. Nigeria needs $60-100B p.a in revenue. Considering our oil revenues are probably around $20b P.A, we have a long way to go.

PPIA:
It increases fuel consumption by 20%


Causes more load on the engine because more current from the alternator is required, hence the engine needs to generate extra RPM to compensate.


Don't you notice even how the sound of the engine changes when A/C is powered on!!!?
Wrong. It consumes petrol because the compressor is driven by the engine. The AC compressor is directly connected to the engine via a belt. It is the compressor that puts strain on the engine.

The alternator does not power the AC, it is the engine that does. If you like switch off your engine and see if your AC will blow cold. If it blows it won’t blow cold air just fan.

It puts pressure on the engine hence the engine consumes a little more fuel.
Somebody who says AC uses gas and therefore has nothing to do with petrol clearly does not understand how cars work. No point arguing g with him. He probably does not know the compressor is driven by the engine via a belt. Even hydraulic power steering consumes petrol, full beam consumes petrol that is why cars now come with electric power steering and led headlights.
Car Talk › Re: Do You Still Drive Your Car With AC? by casualobserver: 8:10pm On Jul 20, 2023
AC consumes petrol that is why your rev counter drops when you switch on your AC. The question is is the extra petrol consumed by the AC more than the extra petrol consumed by the aerodynamic drag of your open windows? At speed you are probably better off with your AC on and at low speed the drag is probably not much but the reality is like I have said the convenience and comfort of AC and security of having your windows up is not worth the fuel savings. If you are eager to save fuel avoid heavy acceleration and keep your rev counter below 3000 in acceleration mode and 1500-2500 in normal driving mode (for most cars). You will save almost half your petrol.

I used to believe this as well. But this video shows field tests that invalidate the assertion that AC on is more efficient than windows down

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUFwbNbQpck#bottom-sheet
Yeah I remmember watching that episode years ago. Bottom line is any saving is negligible considering the inconvinience and security risks. Best way to save petrol is to develop a less aggressive driving style. You can increase your range (how far your petrol will take you) by more than a factor of 2.

Rikze:
As for me, the answer is NO.


Unless the rain is heavy, to have clear vision, I may drive the car with AC for a while and turn it off.


The fuel wahala is biting so hard. 😡😡😡😡
It is foolish to think you save petrol by not using your AC. When you wind down, your car becomes less aerodynamic so their is more drag and you actually use more petrol when you wind down. Than windows up and AC on.


If you want to save petrol stop putting your foot down and watch your rev counter. Try never to go above 3000 and once you achieve your desired speed try to maintain your rev counter between 1500 and 2500 max you will use almost half the petrol you used to consume.

Avoid heavy acceleration if you want to save petrol. Look at the road ahead of you if the road is not free accelerating only to brake is just wasting petrol.


A car requires a lot of power to get it to the desired speed. Once it reaches that speed and so long as it is not excessive speed, you only need minimal petrol to Mai rain your speed but if you keep accelerating only to brake, you are just burning petrol.

Your driving habits is the difference between doing 500km on a full tank or doing 250km.

If you have a trip computer on your car (most modern cars do). It will show you how much petrol you are consuming (miles per gallon mpg or liters/km) when you accelerate and when you are just maintaining reasonable speed. They won’t need to tell you to avoid undue acceleration. Also you can put your trip computer in range view and see how your range increases or decreases depending on your driving pattern.


You can thank me later.

It’s not reverse psychology it is a fact. Go to Europe where petrol is N1500 they do t drive the kind of gas guzzling cars we drive. We speed anyhow in this country only to brake after a few meters, wasting petrol because petrol is cheap. People buy deisel cars and small engines economy cars in Europe but a poor country like Nigeria even a struggling man is driving a v8….because petrol was too cheap!!!

We have no. Sense of fuel economy and how to drive properly because petrol was too cheap.

You can drive to Ibadan and back on half a tank of petrol or drive to Ibadan and back on a full tank. It all depends on how conscious you are on fuel economy. The f you put your foot down the journey will take you a full tank, if you are cruising you will only use half a tank. Nigerians don’t know these. Things because petrol was too cheap!!

I am not God or even a god. I just have brains and I use it. Read my posts from last year. Everything happened exactly as I predicted.

Obi is unelectable, even Hope Uzodima has a better chance of presidency than Obi. Nigeria is not ready for an Ibo president and when it is it will not be a man of the ilk of Peter Obi. Right now Dave Umahi is the most likely Ibo president when the time comes.

Understand this, Nigerians will decide when they are ready for an Ibo president not the Ibos. In the same way as the North made the SW President not the SW.

Your elite are still asking for Kanu’s release and you think Ibo presidency is on the horizon? Somebody who ordered the killings of Nigerian soldiers and policemen?

Kanu is the price you will pay for Nigerian presidency. If you are not ready to sacrifice Kanu, you are not ready for presidency. Nobody is going to take you seriously for presidency of Nigeria while you all rally behind someone agitating for the breakup of Nigeria.

So...?
What is your point? To be miserable in marriage you must first marry. Sensible people dont marry beauty queens.

There are people who are happy and people who are miserable in marriage. But you must first be married to know which camp you belong. As a beauty queen you have eliminated the possibility of getting a good husband by 90% so even before marriage you have ensured your misery. Misery out of loneliness or misery of bad marriage because only weak men or old men marry beauty queens.

If there is any rerun, it will be Tinubu against Atiku or Atiku v Obi. because Obi did not spend I minute proving he won or talking about his votes. He spent all his time trying to disqualify Tinubu not proving he came 1st or 2nd or did you see or read anywhere I. The PEPT where Obi claimed he was rigged and this is the actual result? No!

Obi cannot defeat Atiku. So Obi cannot become president.

After the Tribunal and Supreme Court throw out their cases, they will all gather in Abuja, form a coalition and probably float a new party similar to what APC did in 2013. That Coalition will be strong enough to oust APC in 2027, unless this government deliver their campaign promises.


Asiwaju is probably the only Nigerian President in history, that must have to perform to get a second term. The opposition that is coming will be massive. I am confident he will deliver, he has to.
I actually agree with you and I was thinking about it just yesterday. The thing is who will they field?

They can’t field Atiku as he will be 81 in 2027 and obi cannot win in a 2 horse race against Tinubu. Forget it, the North will not vote for him. Kwakwanso on the other hand will be a problem. All this assumes they manage to reunite.

The problem is Obi has boxed himself into a corner. He can’t 1) return to PDP. 2) be a VP to either Kwakwanso or Atiku. Or else he loses credibility. Furthermore it means dashing any hopes of the SE.

If the opposition mange to regroup they can defeat Tinubu but the candidate has to come from the North…..specifically and only if they coalesce behind Kwakwanso. Forget Obi, he will never become president of Nigeria. He cannot win in a 2 or 3 horse race. He can’t win with a Northerner also contesting in a 3 horse race and he can’t win if it were a 2 horse race against Tinubu.

My opinion is this PDP have a certain DNA. It is that DNA that made them lose against an unpopular Buhari in 2019, the same DNA that made them split into 4 camps and snatch defeat from victory. The same reason they won’t get their act together in 2027. DNA is DNA. PDP is a party birthed in impunity, entitlement , lack of strategic thinking. It is not in their DNA to be strategic, they did not earn power in the 1st place , so they have not learnt how to defeat the opposition in an environment where rigging is difficult.

They are idiots. Most of them have 1 station. They have been able to run profitably in the fixed price subsidy regime despite inefficiencies because their selling price is guaranteed or they smuggle or sell their allocations to smugglers. Have you ever noticed all those 1 branch filling stations that are always closed…na dem. Now that the market has been deregulated, they can’t compete because they dont have the scale or efficiency to compete. This is exactly what deregulation is meant to fix.

Petrol retailing is a low margin very competitive business. It’s not the kind of business that is profitable with 1 branch. Many fuel stations abroad don’t even make money from petrol retailing but from the retail shop attached to the stations.

MrBrownJay1:
now you are truly showing an inferiority complex, swerving this discussion from picking a wife to now talking about marrying someone who is rich/famous/elite.
majority of white aint upper class nor elite, and just because a few dont want to mix, doesnt mean that these people are the representation of the white race. saying that because elite marry elite, it means white women that marry other races are "below" these elite, is so far from the truth, its funny! the problem you dont understand is that today the elites anywhere in the world are black yellow and green, the time when the elite were solely white is done and out (especially in the US). when you go to the country clubs, you see equally blacks, indians and asians (especially Chinese)... and even though Chinese have very little class, their money/power around the world open all the doors. go to any top elite schools around the world, and you will find you fair share of black/Asian/Indian kids.

but most importantly, who cares about these elites, they are the minority in the white population out there. in the US only, they make only 2% of the population... and truly, i wouldnt care less what these people do as it is irrelevant to this discussion. the majority of white people around the world have no problem with marrying anyone they are attracted to (whether black yellow or green)... and thats what matters here.



the above is such a sad post, truly sad! you living in la la land.... EVEN the royal family got mixed, thanks to prince Harry, and there is nobody above them when it comes to "elite". BWAAAAAAAH! sadly, you have all the right to believe what you wanna believe. to each their own!



again, your definition of "broke" man is (as you stated) a man with no potential, no future, while my definition of broke is anyone who took care of their life responsibilities and then have no more left to spend on irrelevant life frivolities.... not to be mistaken with a POOR man (who in my book) are men who cant take care of their life responsibilities. in my book, a broke man who meets a broke woman can easily have a great family life for themselves. his contribution with her contribution will support the family!



in the US, 98% of white women would NOT be elite, therefore they would be the majority and would easily find a man to marry whether common or not. the fact that you keep talking about these elite further shows your inferiority complex, as if these elite were better humans to marry than other people of their race.
Like I said you have the mindset of a commoner nothing else need be said. That you think a woman can be approached by an Uber driver says it all, you and the women you think should allow themselves to be approached by anyone have no standards. I didn’t bother to read the rest of your drivel. I stopped when I saw the word rich. Again for the umpteenth time this has nothing to to with wealth…again showing your commoner mindset. Money money money…typical of commoners!!!

It is people like you that their wives end up sleeping with houseboys and drivers because you marry women without standards and boundaries.

90% of people who marry outside their race or tribe do so because they don’t have what it takes to attract the best of their own! Deal with the fact!

you sir, show me exactly what is wrong with Nigerian school of thought....
- if a man approaches a woman, she has all the rights to "respectfully" decline the offer to talk to this man. to be respectful of others in life (that may respectfully approach you) IS FREE!!!!!
- are you claiming that a woman in a r/ship with a Uber driver and/or bricklayer has no standards/value?
- are you claiming that a respectful Uber driver and/or a Bricklayer that (approaches a woman RESPECTFULLY) does NOT deserve the exact same respect as any other man on earth would?!
- what kind of yeye woman believes that she shouldnt be respectful to a Uber driver and/or a bricklayer?!
- so if i approach a woman respectfully, it will be written UBER DRIVER and/or BRICKLAYER on my forehead, abi?!
- so if a billionaire approaches your woman, you wont be upset (only Uber drivers would upset you), abi?!
- i can categorically STATE that you sir have never been to the west or simply you just look like king kong... the difference between Nigeria and the west is that people dont judge you (socially) by how you look, therefore any man in their social circle would be able to talk to them (whether Uber driver or Bricklayer). it doesnt mean that they are gonna date in the future, but at least they would be civil to one another, whether a bricklayer or Uber driver.



again, no wonder these women have such yeye attitude when men say the above you just wrote. funny how you would look down on women and their attitude when you confirm exactly the reason why they have such foul attitude.
there is nothing wrong (to fix) with a man who took care of all his life responsibilities... there is only something wrong with women who expect such man to have extra money, so that he can take care of them (under the guise of dating/marriage). if a man took care of his life responsibilities and the women (he goes after) took care of theirs, then this is a perfect match IMHO. only broke deluded women who come with NOTHING TO THE TABLE think like you do. no man/woman need more than to take care of their life responsibilities!



bro, thats because you say so many different things in the same post
The 1st part of your post shows you are a commoner or have the mindset of a commoner. One of the things I often tell Nigerians when they go abroad is…don’t think that because a white person can speak English, they are on the same level as you, assuming you are on any level. The problem with many Nigerians is the white people they interact with are the commoners. And they behave like commoners. The white people you are talking about are commoners just like a Nigerian commoners. The white person you are talking about does not have access to the elite of their society, they didn’t go to the same schools as children of senators business leaders , governors etc. they don’t have the numbers of these sorts of people in their address book. The equivalent white elite do not allow themselves to be approached by commoners because to begin with you will not find yourselves in the same social setting. When the Nigerian elite marry, they marry themselves. Its the same all over the world. It’s not about money, it’s about social class. People with class don’t mix with commoners either in Nigeria, Uk, USA, India, Lebanon, UAE. They don’t even stay in the sort of areas where the majority of Nigerians will stay. A friend once said, homes in London are small. I told him these are not the homes of your type of people, go to surrey, and see where the elite British live. They have servants just like we do back home. The people you are seeing are the commoners. The people who live in Ajah, Akowonjo, Ipaja, Abilene eggs, Amuwo and co. Imagine interacting with people from such areas and thinking you understand the real Nigerian elite? Those are commoners!!!

Whites marry whites, blacks marry blacks, Indians marry Indians etc etc. those who cross breed are generally commoners. Unless went to their schools, Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Imperial, MIT etc etc, you wil not even get the opportunity to mix the proper whites. The oyinbo you went to school with at Georgia tech, north London, east London University etc etc are children of commoners. Those you are mixing with are commoners….commoners have no standards to begin with they would rather die than go to such universities. They are the equivalent of the Tonto Dikehs of Nigeria, that they may have money like Kanye and the Kardashians makes no difference. Their children cannot gain admission into the exclusive jack and Jill club that a black or white civil servant with pedigree on a meager $100k a year can. If you think that a bricklayer or cab driver should be able to approach a woman who has pedigree, then you are clearly a commoner and have never interacted with women of pedigree either in Nigeria or abroad. They will dismiss you without even saying a word.

Secondly you need to learn how to read and comprehend. I specifically said most people live to pay bills so your second paragraph is pointless. I have told you this is not about being rich. The only requirement for a man is that he must be able to fend for himself and his family. Otherwise he has no business with a woman….and any woman of value has no business being with him.

A proper Oyinbo woman, just like a proper Nigerian woman, Indian, Emirati, Lebanese, German, French etc will not give you the time of day unless you are from her social class and she can smell your class and pedigree from afar no matter how expensive your designer attire. In fact it is usually a dead giveaway of “common”. The reality is your paths will never cross, just like your paths will never cross with the children of the elite of Nigeria. Is it that you went to the same schools or attend the same social events or travel in the same class so where do you want to meet? So stop drawing conclusions based on interactions with commoners without pedigree.
