What I am going to say is not popular....but let's be honest

All of us are cursing the Police. That means that should the Police be 'destroyed' as a result of our curses...who then would take on the criminals for us?

A lot of crime gets stopped by the Police, AND SARS is one of the police agencies that fight crime.

Many of us are rightly angry with the SARS for killing the young man...but we should remember that the young man was part of a group that was interfering with Police work.

Remember Kabiru Sokoto. Kabiru Sokoto...who was Boko's bomb maker, was freed because 'youth' interfered with the Police in the discharge of their duties...because the youth thought he was innocent.

The guy the Police came to arrest....was thought to be innocent..and many young people promptly rushed in to save him. SARS opesn fire..and an innocent youg man gets killed.

Our Police needs reform. But reform is not going to come by cursing and abusing the problem. Many of us don't appreciate our policemen and women.

And it is the same thing in many fields too. Many people in Nigeria curse doctors for doing their job , NEPA officials for disconnecting people who don't pay their bills, FRSC for enforcing traffic laws, and so on.

Yet, many of us won't pay the taxes and the bills needed to make things better. We all think that money gotten from 2.2 MILLION barrels of oil per day at $60 per barrel is enough...when it isn't and we know it.

So, why not appreciate your Policeman? Why hide criminals from the Police? Why interfere when the POlice come and arrest crooks in your neighborhood?

Anyway, Nigerians need to change.

You are right -there are more models to choose from and the volumes are increasing --but, not to the extend of threatening the dominance of petrol cars, especially in the US which has a very robust motor market.

We know china is pushing hard and it would be interesting to see how that plays out ,at the moment it is still only 4% of the total market.

But,what about the haulage industry,the manufacturing industries --these guys still need oil and it is evident in the amount of oil china is consuming daily (no wonder it is the largest importer of crude oil).

erico2k2:
Are you serious about Hybrid cars?I take it you have not seen the BMW,Audi,Merc and Range rover hybrids hence you are talking like this.
The Tesla is getting cheaper, way cheaper, we even have Nissan Leaf which is very cheap

brave212:
The survey reached around 220,000 people in about 100,000 households and was conducted between July and December 2018.

Felixv:
The world is awash with crude oil - the US alone is taking in billions and set to overtake SA as the largest exporter of oil.

Dangote’s refinery is a lifesaver for us and we should be greatful. For those who are talking about electric cars - please dream on. The world is not ready for them, Teslas are still very expensive and the hybrids lack the horsepower of challenge the non-hybrid cars.

And the appetite for refined products is still very high.

Based on comparative quality and other factors the noodles failed I dare say but what happened to the tomatoes. I really want to know

kayfra:
You've not started making today's money now and you are asking us to forsake it! Which kin nonsense be dis? Babanla nonsense!

Can't you chew gum and walk at the same time? Make money from what's obtainable now and invest in the future or do both simultaneously?

kayfra:
Petrochemicals (value addition to crude) is part of diversification. It's the easiest and fastest diversification effort we can achieve.

It's private enterprise. The man didn't become a billionaire by accident and not using good judgment

OkunrinOloro:
In the long term a collosal waste of money.

China, India and Germany have already announced that by the year 2030 which is just 11 years away, they would have fully done away with the use of cars which run on fossil fuels.

Indeed, Sheikh Zaki Yamani, a former Saudi oil minister, once said, “The stone age came to an end not for a lack of stones, and the oil age will end, but not for a lack of oil.”

But Nigerians have never been known for long term strategic thinking or planning.

You guys will suffer the consequences of poor leadership very soon.

blackpanda:
If PDP makes d mistake of taking Igbo as VP again, they will lose. The truth is nobody can win without the north, and the north don't like Igbo. Just as Igbo dont like north

Richdad50:
The worst and most inconclusive INEC Chairman in the history of the country. Maybe after Iwu. We may need to reconsider the use of academias as election umpires. Not all professors are smart as you think. Smartness is an attribute.

Richdad

SpecialAdviser:
You guys should stop this SW and SE nonsense.

Grow up and get a life bro. Yorubas rejected Buhari if not for rigging.

I'm an Igbo but always ashamed of these online urchins and their nuisance.

Below is APC and PDP Secretariat sharing same building in Sokoto, Northerners are more enlightened on the dynamics of politics.



Politics is not a do or die affai

WarriAproko:
isoko don't have the numbers to win election. They are politically muted. The massive vote buying and rigging. I pity delta. Imagine selling votes for 1k. Ogboru don't have the money to spend. Ortega omero never supported ogboru because he knows he is a failure. Oshomole spoilt things in APC. Ortega wanted Victor oshei who will wrestle Okowa in his own ground. And ready fully well to sponsor him with cash. Ogboru can never rule delta when he don't have the money to buy votes. I see Ovid omoagege to rule delta next. The fight would be between David edevie, Otega omero, ovie OMO AGEGE, Kenneth Gbagi. According to zonning iBori and Okowa already assured and sealed delta centra to produce the next governor.

nwanyionitsha:
We shall see.

SouthEastFacts:
Buhari never enter 2nd term you don dey shout disintegration.

Sorry, nobody is breaking this country until after SS gets their revenge. Watch it, IPOB will stand down all massive opposition against APC.

gratiaeo:
SW is also PDP. The only person comfortable with APC in the South West is Tinubu and his thugs

MXrep:
The South should tow the part of wisdom and reciprocate the support igbos gave other southern zones in the past or else southern presidency will become impossible

TheFreeOne:
Ameachi is a greedy and senseless idiot.

How can any sane human being encourage such madness upon his own people.


It's about time Riverians cut him to size.
