DomPerignon:
Concentrate on your useless Biafra .

When we chase you away we will not have parasitic importers who demand for FX to import cheap crap at the expense of local producers .

What have you been able to achieve with your useless Nigeria?.

You foolishly floated a currency that was been rightfully defended because of its inherent weakness, and falsely promised Nigerians the rate would crash.

Now, seeing the effects of your rash and thoughtless actions, you've not only evaded taking responsibility, but have also pushed the blames on unknown group of people.
Let us see how a dru.g crim!nal will save a crumbling country

*Difference between official and black-market rates is widening
*The rates briefly converged in June after naira devaluation


https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-19/nigerian-central-bank-is-losing-a-battle-to-close-naira-rate-gap#xj4y7vzkg

The rates will never converge.

Floating the naira with the hope of forcing a convergence in a country that has perpetually been plagued by forex scarcity is one of the most foolish policies ever enacted by a government led by humans.

IconicR:
😢 but I believe everything will be fine in no distant time.
This is the effect of Jonathan and Buhari's maladministration. May God ease our affairs

Stop this stupid and false-reassuring line.

Nothing will be better as no previous, well planned policies have ever worked in Nigeria, let alone these ones carelessly implemented by a demented geriatric

Workch:
you really have said nothing new here. And whose job is it to fight the corruption, my job?
There's nothing wrong with subsidizing a commodity, the problem is the bad structure, weak institutions and the total unavailability of reliable database that gives insights to help channel the subsidy efficiently.
Subsidy for certain commodities is a norm is Most parts of the world, the problem is our weak structure.
U.K subsidizes for health, some goods and even tax for low income earners. Don't deprive yourself of basic benefits as a citizen because your government doesn't want to fight corruption.
These countries cannot produce enough crude oil to serve their own country, we can produce enough crude oil to serve our population and even export excess. This is why if we have a working refinery, we can easily regulate prices internally better than Benin and Ghana.
Benin and Ghana still depends on buying crude oil from other countries to refine, which means they will still be heavily dependent on international market forces.

this does not correlate, I don't get how this is directly related to oil and gas industry and how government subsidizes services.

again, there's nothing wrong in subsidizing commodities as a government if you have reliable data to track what you are subsidizing and a corruption commission that is efficient. It all boils down to the bd structure in Nigeria.

subsidy is what you are suppose to enjoy as a citizen if EFCC and ICPC were doing their jobs in the downstream and upstream sector. Don't suffer for their inefficiencies.

you didnt comprehend my post. You failed to get the point
The point is not that we should not remove subsidy, the point is why and how we are removing it. Read it again

That is just an an a.ss-hole.
I always wonder how much they paid him to be throwing those puerile, purulent, and annoying defence lines where ever petrol subsidy is mentioned in this forum.

There's nothing Nigerians will not sell!

Ijelenwanyioma:
I am legally married to this man and we have 3 sons together. Recently he purchased some land which he actually told me about but when I checked the documents of all the land I only saw Mr(his name in full) and not Mr & Mrs (his name and surname) or Mr (his name ) and Mrs (My name ). This really gave me great concern and when I asked him, he told me it doesn't really count because the properties also belong to my children. Later he started accusing me that I am nursing ulterior motive in my heart and maybe I want to take over the properties which is blantly lies. I just want to feel ownership of the land too

Please am I overreacting on this issue truly or my husband is planning something behind me ( maybe remarrying)

I do the same too sometimes.
That means you don get 2 people to beat be that

Dotherightthing:
Just shut up!

You won't be saying if Obi had was the president.

Eggs must be broken for omelette to be made.

These are trying times and we shall overcome. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Local production of PMS is the way forward

You, shut up first!

Obi wouldn't have brought in 2 stupid policies in one swoop.

In Nigeria, eggs can be broken and yet omelette won't be made.

You gullible folks should know that no economic policies have ever achieved any desired result in Nigeria because of mountainous corruption

Nigerians will end up suffering in vain and that's very unfortunate.

nairalanda1:
And I bought fuel yesterday at the old price.

Well, I got lucky

Truth be told, if it was Peter Obi in charge, and Obi was the one that removed subsidy, I won't be bashing him...at all.

If we kept subsidy, yes we will enjoy subsidy , until it's cost rises beyond our entire revenue....then we would be at Sri Lanka levels...no money to spend or even loot.

And IMF would be looking at us one kind....

Modifed

To all those calling me government supporter and abusing me, the truth is, I really DO NOT WANT SUBSIDES TO GO.

But the thing is, since 2012, when my eyes got opened, the cost of subsidy has always been too expensive. It is always the cost, always has been the cost

You keep on dishing out these same rubbish lines even when it's obvious the policy is only there to punish Nigerians.
It's inhumane and utmost wickedness to remove the only benefit the average Nigerian was getting from the government, while the politicians keep theirs.

Petrol subsidy wasn't the thing holding the economy back, it's corruption. And that corruption is still there.
Leave subsidy alone and tackle the corruption, and save more money.
Now, where are the billions of naira presumed to have been saved after the removal??
If you're saving money, why borrowing again for palliatives?

This is a stupid policy that will never bring any economic benefit to Nigerians.

IconicR:
🤔 it'll eventually come down

What do you know about economics with regard to Nigeria??

Opanka44:
I hope you will say same when such befalls you. It is commonsensical to empathize with people when something tragic happens to them. I guess we are all humans

We understand you, bros, but it's not compulsory they sympathize, let alone, empathize with you.

Just take it as you see it and focus on the work which you're being paid for.

Henceforth, approach your job in the same business-like manner as they do, and leave emotions out of it.

intergral:
Coming from a region that glorifies crime... Better sharrap!

Where do all the politicians who have been scamming and looting Nigeria since 1970 come from??

FairlyUSEDpussy:
Remember then..........when insecurity started in the north........the villagers cheer,supported and hid them(Boko Haram boys)away from millitary..........not until it boomerang them.........

Thought Southeast........had be wiser and learn from the previous mistake...........but mbanu they stupidly follow suit...........now the the whole region is on self destruction...........

What has southeast got to do with this news, you foo!??

optionalY09:
Oh crap idiot!
You want Obi right?
tell them to bring in their guns or go back to Biafra dumbass.

I don’t like you personally and your hypocrisy is going to make me puke.

This animal can't even make a sound argument.

Which human yearns for a liking from a p!g??

Run back to the jungle you emerge from, you stinking foo!

helinues:
Wailers should rest IJN

Is Osun election federal election?

Why are there so many half baked lots in the opposition's camp?

So, Osun state's election was based on Osun state's Electoral Act and constitution?? Nawaoo
The only half-baked and ignorant lot i see here is you, Mr Anyhow Defender.

optionalY09:
What concerns EU with Africa are we still slaves. If biafra want to be slaves they can sign off their states

Statement like this only comes from ignorant village kids who get their information only from the market square.

You don't know that the EU donated about 39million Euros for the elections?

Why didn't you, your government and INEC reject it, as you're not their slaves??

Tinubuwins2023e:
Some of you are so dumb that you cannot have a healthy discussion without involving banters. Is that how rotten your life and mind is?

What healthy discussion do you want to have after damaging the country for 8yrs and still counting??

You won't understand.

What have you achieved so far in life with your understanding??

Stop creating enmity amongst people with your false dream interpretations.

[quote author=Nwamazi8 post=124433301]Use this opportunity to say something positive that you like about the tribe you have insulted on this forum, no negative or abusive feedbacks...keep the ethnic banter aside and let's see if we have a toxic-free engagement. So comment one positive thing about the other tribes that you admire.

Oya let's go! [/quote

Stop opening useless threads like this.

What actually do you expect to hear from Nigerians

You'll only end up giving avenues for frustrated low-lifes and nonentities to try to make themselves feel alive.

enemyofprogress:
did you read the charges at all with an open mind or with an igbotic mind?

What stupid charges did you read??

Are charges for possession of firearms the reason for all these noises so far?

BigBlackPreek:
He destroyed the economy and left many households in
throes of pain, agony and untold hardship


He should be jailed and the keys thrown into the deep blue
sea

He should be jailed on what charges??
Possession of firearms?
You guys are shameless and clueless nitwits.

How did he destroy the economy without being the president?

ibechris:
Pls,there is a growing menace of friends poisoning their friends at beer parlours,lounge or bars.

Watch out especially now that begging has increase among peers,friends and family members and close allies.

Just this morning my class mate was pronounced dead,as he was poisoned and left to die.

I saw another video of recent which was prior to this news,where a guy was poisoned and he died in an inhumane manner...vomiting blood and all sort before a doctor pronounced him dead.

Pls,watch and drink smart before the unthinkable happens.

People are just not happy seeing u do well.
Don't get it twisted as most people think it should be them and not u that is successful.

Be wise.

How did you know objectively they were poisoned?
Alcohol can't trigger off a cardiac arrhythmia, arrest and death?
Alcohol can't trigger off an acute gastric erosion, perforation, vomiting of blood(haematemesis), haemorrhagic shock and death?

Childfree:
I had same issue.
Landlord refused.
What would you do?
He knows you must use light hence you would go and recharge. PHCN would remove it wether you like it or not.

Landlord has no excuse to refuse.
PHCN can't just remove it unless you escalate to NERC and win eventually.
Your battle is with the owner of the building, not PHCN.
So, you can prepare to deduct the total "stolen" amounts from your next house rent or you simply look for a better place.
You can't possibly be paying the debts because the people who incurred it were brought in by the landlord and their rents were paid to him, and not to you.

Assetosky:
Do people with meter enjoy light without first buying it? How did they owe when you must pay before seeing light

That debt usually comes as a carryover from outstanding estimated bills.

If a building is on estimated billing, when prepaid metre is installed, the outstanding bills will be transferred to the new metre.

So, if you're packing into an apartment in Nigeria, which had previously been occupied by another Nigerian, you need to first find out their bill paying history.

jmoore:
Landlord will tie a tenant with rope and force him to pay energy bill? I would like to know NERC stand on this issue.

This is one of the reasons you're allowed as a landlord to put caution fees, and you should thoroughly inpect your building as the tenant is packing out.

jmoore:
Why should a landlord pay for the negligence of the DISCOs? Is the landlord an agent of the DISCO? Inasmuch the new tenant should not pay the debt he is not owing, the landlord is not the customer of the metre in question and is not liable. DISCOs should find better means to recover their debt.

The bills are tied to the building which belongs the landlord, and the at the DISCO's office, registration is done in his name.

It is his responsibility to ensure his tenants are paying their monthly bills.

If he fails to do so, he'll automatically inherit the debts as they're tied to his building.

As for the DISCOs, they don't know who the landlord rents his rooms/flats to and can't possibly be looking for him/them.
Their business is purely with the owner of the building(landlord).

baaliyah:
If PHCN takes 60 percent to service your debt, that leaves you with 40 percent which is N2800.
You mean 2800 is too much for almost two weeks of regular power supply.

None of you were able to address his main issue.

If it were you, would you be happy paying for debts you didn't incur??

@OP: It's the duty of the landlord to offset the debts incurred by his previous tenants.

Liaise with him on the best way to follow it.
One of the ways involves substracting the total expenses you incur in 1yr from the next annual rent.
It is not your responsibility to pay the debts and should never accept that.
