oga which rich billionaires most of those guys made their money from other businesses or investments. The solution is the refineries need to be privatised and nnpc needs to hands off. No more turnaround maintenance crap. When there is so much fuel that the country needs there will be no scarcity and even due to other competing refineries , less price paid. Don't fight the wrong ppl , these guys are business men and if no profit after buying at depot for higher price do u expect them to sell at loss like government was doing when it was paying subsidy? Do u know how many marketers are in fuel business, all can't just wake up and agree not to sell fuel Na. There is def a disagreement somewhere so don't blame one party.

The moment I read that part you said do you know how many marketers are in the sector, then I know you have no idea of what is happening in the downstream sector. I function in this sector so I am not babbling. I won't keep exchanging words with you because we might not agree. Have a good day man. Hopefully this country will make sense one day.

God forbid. Only Hausa (NW) votes are not enough to make Buhari win. He will loose in the entire south and middlebelt.

Fallacy. An average poor Nigerian will vote Buhari 50times when a bowl of rice with 1000 naira is handed over to him. And that name SAI baba like I hear it everytime is a force. Me I keep praying that God will allow him to get it right. How we ended up with a very ill president like Yara'dua is still a mystery and how buhari will still defeat all these atiku will be mysterious but vivid.

Boss13:
You have a point especially in the North where he has unfettered support regardless of performance. However, in the south it will be a different ball game. The south-east already are less interested in anything APC, except Imo which is as a result of the governor. In south-west, I think the economic hardship is sufficient enough to make a decision.

If the race comes down to Atiku and Buhari, which is a shame for we Nigerians since we cannot produce a reputable leader, then the battle line will be the North.

and that north will vote buhari to atiku in a ratio of like 90-10. Like I said unless we are deceiving ourselves. That is why I keep praying to God to grant the man the know how wisdom cause he might be in that villa till 2023 and we won't have a choice. Revolution? Nigerians won't d it we too dey endure. Impeachment if he doesn't perform? The senate that can do it won't make a single move so far their juicy money keeps dropping into their accounts be it APC or PDP or APGA or whatever party. The masses will still suffer the consequences not this gluttons.

YaxxVille:
You have sense bros

We kuku all have that sense my man, but hatred, tribalism, envy, dishonesty and illiteracy robbed people off utilizing their senses. Not that it has disappeared from them but just that we ain't using it.

mmsen:
LOL.

Have you looked at the indices for the north?

Have you looked at the absolute poverty rate? Or the illiteracy rate? Or the maternal and infant mortality rates?

Did you read the part where I said they are building it back? You think development is magic? IT comes in trickles and by the time it sums up, how you achieved it will be difficult to answer. And what is the difference between those doing everything within their power to pull out of poverty and those nose diving into poverty? Till we fully had a collapse of economy as a nation we didn't know we were going into it until we woke up and discovered one day. Like I told you, Rome was never built in a day but after the building, those other countries that felt they can wake up one morning and build an empire couldn't do that and couldn't understand the mystery behind the ROMAN development. Just watch the north.

By the time oil is not selling for more than 5dollars per barrel, this regions will be far ahead of the west and south. The little they get from fed allocations are being properly utilized and the south administrators are not doing anything. I just hope other dormant and nonperforming governors will see these and wake up. Gradually they are building that region back and we are forming educated and oil rich. This was how they got the best roads from the inception of this federation. When president Jonathan awarded East West contract and I saw the kind of roads being built by the local un-serious SENTRACO company I just weep for them. Drainage beside those federal roads are not even as deep as the gutters in my compound and they were giving them certificate of completion and commissioning the roads. Most of them have collapsed now. I pray we wake up. And this region IGR except for Lagos and Ogun is second to none. They are really trying

[quote author=LordHiffy post=63026015][/quote]But has DPR gone to the locked filling stations and discovered there are no fuel in their reservoirs? For them to lock up when they have fuel shows inhumanity we bring on ourselves. Those IPMAN guys are bunch of billionaires and see what they are doing to average Nigerians that can't boast of 5000 naira in their accounts. Very unfortunate sincerely. There are some things that shouldn't be heard of anymore in this country. Things like fuel scarcity sets us backward a lot and negatively impact out economy. Give licences out to as many rich business oriented individuals/companies that can afford it as possible. It pains me when there is a solution in front of us but we just keep moving around in a circle doing nothing.

Truth be told unless we are deceiving each other. Buhari vs Atiku election will be a clearer landslide victory for Buhari. Even Jonathan tried small, Atiku's own will be worse. The popularity and fame of Buhari is not debatable unless we are deceiving ourselves.

It has reached Port Harcourt, somebody is not telling the truth.

The truth is fuel pump price still stands at 145. Nigerians are the ones buying out of panic. NNPC fixes pump price not IPMAN. so if IPMAN has issues they should go and resolve it. So far NNPC says no wahala. I also think the federal govt needs to give licences to many more marketers so that these few hat formed a cabal already won't be holding us to ransom eveyrtime. They are so used to the days of mkaing almost 500% profit. They still make their profits but want more. Greed is all I see.

Shoprite Abuja, airport road was opened last week. Myself and three of my colleagues decided to go there for shopping. The management were waiting for the FCT minster to declare open the store and the minister was delaying. There was almost a stampede as people were trying to rush in and so. A senior police officer made a statement i countered. He said ''You Nigerians are just the problem but when you leave the shores of this country, you behave yourself''. I think he was just right.

I drove from my office at central area to lugbe and passed through almost 6 filling stations yesterday. They were all selling. But there is just this panic buy everywhere. I still don't know why we put ourselves inside problems. IPMAN said they might increase pump price, NNPC debunked the news. We should all just keep going through our activities jeje. Even if you buy 200 litres now, you will still finish it. As for me whenever my fuel drops to the last stick level, I park my car and start taking public transport.

My resolution is simple at this age. I won't do any stupid queuing up again in my life. Life is easy.

Give about 1000 more individuals licences to import and trade and stop the monopoly enjoyed by these few marketers. VERY SIMPLE AND EASY

Davido is a fool. Meanwhile, Kiss Daniel should kiss his music career goodbye.

Second to comment even from Shiloh ground.
I dedicate this post to everyone sitting on the same third row with me here in Canaan Land Ota.

People like you are one of the reasons the world make fun of Christianity.

The rate of negativity in Nigeria is just alarming. Why would a good news like this still be generating this kind of heat here? We should just grow up and embrace peace, unity and growth in this country. Shikene.

Same thing here at Iwo... No tangible infrastructure since he came on board. Funny enough the ssg is from Iwo, yet we can not even feel anything. Even landlord association in his street contributed money to procure transformer, he was not even ashamed. Yet he's gunning for govnorship. My question is who will clear all the debts of these workers if aregbe leave without paying up all the half salaries.

I have a feeling that money is gone for now. But later in the future maybe 20 or 30 years time when things pick up and the state becomes financially buoyant and stable under a good, sound, educated and brilliant administrator, the arrears might be paid. Sad thing is most of them will be dead by then but their family members who didn't suffer or laboured with them will receive the money. Just a pity.

There are five of them. 1. Aregbesola. 2. Okorocha. 3. Fayose. 4. Ajimobi. 5. Yaya.

But dem try small. Aregbe do small road. Okorocha has some statues. Fayose dey do Xmas for kids. Ajimobi do flyover for ibadan. Yaya carry plenty soldiers come kogi.

Abeg forget that thing wey you dey talk.. Who told you women who stabbed their husbands were not showered with love and affection?

A devil will always remain a devil even though you shower her with undiluted love

Your problem is comprehension. I said unless she's a devil or demonic. Read Read Read boy. Learn to read and comprehend. PHEW!!!!!!!!!!1

chynie:
So cos of 2 stabbing you are writing article.
[center][/center]
Please put a counter thread for women
On how to defend themselves against domestic violence without killing the man
Or kill the man if is a rape case

Simple : REPORT. Every man has someone they listen to. As a lady, make sure you know who that person is in your man's life. Maturely and sparingly discuss his wahala with that person. Not running to the person every time. There is just that person hidden somewhere he can't say no to. And if there is no one, HUMAN RIGHT FIGHTERS ARE YOUR FRIENDS.

And love her. There is no woman you show love if not demonic or a devil herself that will ever think of hurting you. They just have that weakness when you show them that love. I respect the womanhood though. They were specially created by God to beautify this life. Even the so called Ashewo and olosho will go the extreme mile for you when you show her love. And when I say love, not necessarily giving her money. Time, words, affection, etc.........

I'm from osogbo, both primary and secondary school education attended in osogbo. I'm surprised when you said osogb only has one local govt

Truth is grassroots are suffering from his sole-man administrative style. It can't work that way. Fine he saved a lot of money from not allowing lg chairmen and councilors but they have their own functions too. He could have a good heart(which i doubt), but I am very sure to tell you he's a bad manager. It doesn't work this way. Talk of Osogbo, he developed osogbo nooks and corners. But Osun state is not osogbo. You can build the biggest schools but when the teachers ain't motivated, it is just a waste. I finished in the late 80's and I can rmbr vividly the enthusiasm of our teachers back then because they were motivated by their salaries. We finished from a public school and read professional courses, how many sec sch graduates from that state with the assistance of the teachers in exam halls which is a norm now can make 6 credits talk more of making it to the university.

whao. I went to this abatuer on friday in Zuba-Dede, you can't believe they smoke those goats with tyres as in when i saw i i almost vomited. Staying there for like 20mins at a time i knew i wasn't inhaling oxygen anymore. The level of pollution is terrible. Climate change no even concern us for naija. That sad, you guys need to always talk to your ever-blowing pipelines and illegal refineries owned guys in your state. They are the major cause of those things. How many vehicles dey PH self?

farihafaheemah:
You got it wrong, Osogbo has two local govt. Osogbo local govt, secretariat at oke baale osogbo and olorunda local govt secretariat at igbona, osogbo. He built road in ido osun, built school in ipetumodu, ilesha, ife. So stop misleading the people. If your claim is right on not having any project in odo otin, honestly I don't have any prove because it been a while I travel along that axis

And i'm not misleading. I'm saying what I know. Grew up there invested there and proud to be from that state irrespective of what's happening there.

Oke baale is not osogbo. I got to know that during the senatorial election few months back. Most places people call osogbo is not even under olorunda lga bro.

What is this one saying? Projects only in osogbo??

It would do you good to focus this ur energy on your useless state governor, whoever he is.

Imagine your own parents that worked for 12 months but inconsistently received only 6 months salary that even shot into the following year 4th month and there are like four of you in the universities, you won't be talking this way. How do you freeze half salary of staff and use it to be building schools and constructing roads? One guy even quoted me making noise of how the new roads which aregbesola built has brought in new investors into the state. I simply asked him to name one single just one single investor that has come into the state since aregbesola took over power and he went mute. When you talk on social media, talk objectively. All the local govts voted for him why concentrate only on the capital? Rome wasn't built like that neither Greece. You can't be the sole administrator of the state and sit in osogbo without depriving those in the remote areas that voted you too off basic amenities. It is very possible for him to have commissioners and local govt chairmen and Councillors with funds given to them but there will be accountability.
I'm from Odo-otin LGA, I can't point at a single road he patched not to talk of built in his almost 8years as a governor and that local govt voted for him. Even in one of the towns in my LGA, Okuku, Aregebsola has a close senior friend there in person of one chief Akande. Oyinlola supported him for his second term run and still nothing to show for that support. His governance doesn't just add up a bit.

After all the federal govt keeps giving him monthly allocation too. Simple word for him, He's a tyrant. There is no how aregbesola could have said he actually performed and he's scared of contesting for senatorial seat in Osun state. The defeat they suffered during Adeleke senatorial election was a template of his governance. HE KNOWS IT AND HIS ALLIES KNOW AS WELL ONLY INTERNET KIDS AND THOSE ILLEGALLY BENEFITING FROM HIM ARE THE SUPPORTERS AND NOISE MAKERS.

farihafaheemah:
The schools are not only in osogbo, we have school across the state. The roads construction too spread across the state. The only problem is half salaries for Osun state workers.

Schools across the state? Osogbo has only one local govt please tell me how many schools he built in only osogbo compared to other LGAs. You spoke of roads? You must be joking. My LGA is Odo-otin and in almost 8 years I can gladly tell you he didn't even patch a single pothole not to talk of construction a 10m road.

OLP46:
Guy I'm tempted to give you my salary. You made a lot of sense. You just painted the correct scenario of what is happening in my beloved Osun State. But some Apc internet warlord will see it as against their party.

Don't ,Mind all those internet freaks that do not know a single thing happening in that state. Imagine it is their own parents that worked for 12 months but inconsistently received only 6 months salary that even shot into the following year 4th month and there are like four of them in the universities, they won't be talking trash. How do you freeze half salary of staff and use it to be building schools and constructing roads?

Ballmer:
Was the poverty not in existence before Aregbe ? Will his effort to build up the state capital not bring about more investors/innovation into the state ? I have been to Osun maybe before n that state is a disgrace. The easiest way to attract people into the city is what Aregbe is doing. I remember my secondary school day in Abeokauta Grammar School and today Ogun state as the highest number of Universities.

Today the state is being opened up, investors are pouring in. You think Amosun brought all those investments with him ? Development takes several decades to germinate n the student attracted to Osun will be the pinnacle that will pioneer the growth of the state. Business innovations will be brought in from other parts of the country to develop the state.

It is pretty obvious Osun Indegene like you have no clue what development is nor can you bring about such development so others have to do that for you. I suppose you'd rather share your destiny like it is presently happening in Ekiti ba.
Is cost of governance that was never enough not being cut by not having councillor ? Is over head cost of govt not being reduced or what exactly will the councillor be doing when the state can not even pay it workers ?

If cost of governance is by reduction of executives in the state then himself as the governor is not needed. Let every affairs be coordinated from Abuja. Investors coming into osun? Name one. Those developments are sweats of workers he decided not to reward. No single igr if salaries are not paid for him to tax workers from half salary. You know nothing about osun. Grew up there and I have investments there. That's my state boy.
If your parents worked for 6 months and are paid only 3 months salary with four of you in the universities as their watds

Tell me your home town I tell you mine.

For a lady that will ditch you for a far richer guy?

This man is looking younger and healthier. The way I'm looking at it, another person might not smell that villa seat until 2023 o. See him as gallant as anything.

Deceit

Jimi is just very unfortunate to be contesting in a state where the ACN/APC governors have been doing wonderfully well and performing.

Imagine we have a Jimi to contest against aregbesola in osun state. That would have been great. And for all making a hell of noise about aregbesola's projects always rmbr he has the remaining half salaries of workers in his coffers and no single local govt chairman in the state. No local councillor. He just employed some commissioners. The local govt funds goes to him directly. 95% of all the projects you are seeing are all in the state capital osogbo. And osogbo doesn't even make up to 15% of the whole state. Over 20 local govts can't point at any reasonable basic amenities his administration has given them in almost 8 years. Go to the state and you will smell poverty in the air.

What has he done exceptional for the country

Jaideyone:
you go school? Lagos does 5times what Ogun does. not 30 times. read the report again

Lol. There are different types oooo. Ask him the one he finished from.
