Please how many people can afford to buy & drive electric cars?How many electric cars are there in Enugu state? If electric cars can become affordable for the average Nigerian,then this is a welcome development but as you can see,it is not the case. With the current state of things,this is just misplaced priorities.

investors will see the potential and step in. Don't forget transporters can trade few fossil fuel vehicle for EVs to force the switch.

Two suggestions:

1.
If people should be mandated to serve outside their states of residence, NYSC should pay for any damage that occurs in the process.

2.
If NYSC is unwilling to pay for the damages, serving outside one's state of residence should be absolutely optional for everyone.

A whole NYSC cannot raise 1 million Naira or mobilize police to rescue a citizen of Nigeria. Yet the NYSC exercise is termed "Serving your father land", and the same NYSC stands as a god between graduates and employment. What kind of a father is Nigeria to Nigerians? Nonsense.

Same corpers they want to draft abi na mobilize to war. If they lost a limb to bomb blast in war, what happens then?

NYSC should be optional o.

On the right track to implode economically.

Palliative in exchange for subsidy is like accepting double portion of food for 6 month in exchange for a lifetime of no food. It may work elsewhere but not in a country that's fantastically corrupt.

You put it into words well when you describe many losing for few to be paid. It is a contribution lottery system where only the organizers are guaranteed to gain.

The best approach is bvn based crediting of accounts. NIN too can support it. A fixed amount to varying States sizes will encourage governors to resume swelling poverty profiles their states for funds.

Take a break once in a while then continue. E get why.......work no dey finish.

Above all work smart.

Sensible thing to do. Imagine the so called palliative in states Lagos, Abuja, PH, Warri, Benin, Kano, Maiduguri, Onitsha, Ibadan, Kaduna, Zaria etc constructing just 20 - 30 MW of solar charging spots to charge keke and shuttle batteries.
That's better than audio palliatives or trains to Niger.

I no like GEJ, but if he had had a set of balls in 2012 of the steel kind, we would have been a major exporter of petrol by now.

Anyway, tinubu will soon bring back subsides. He is a typical Nigerian. Power matters.

For our sake, I hope he doesn't.

Subsidy is effectively assistance. If truly petrol subsidy was fraud ridden, a good govt could have equally scrapped it and put another form of assistance that's almost as effective in place of it.
But the corrupt govt of uncle Bola removed it and proposed a one time palliative. That's like denying a child snacks indefinitely in exchange for extra snacks for a week or two

nairalanda1:
The problem again with Farooq assertion is simple.

He thinks that subsides can be paid for based on our one track economy.

Well it can't. Countries that have subsides also pay for them via the kind of taxation that if thiefdrugbareon brought it here, there would be protests

But in a way, I expect tinubu to bring back subsidy. He is a Nigerian. Most Nigerians love their subsidies

But all that neoliberal apologists in Nigeria do is regurgitate the racist, impractical, flyblown, ill-digested talking points that the World Bank, the IMF, and American conservative think tanks have fed them with.

They see sobering, indisputable evidence of the abject failure and cruelty of the economic prescriptions their masters in the West have imposed on developing countries but, like preprogrammed robots, all they do is repeat the discredited and unworkable ideological dogmas they have memorized.

They are ideological zombies who have a fixed frame into which they fit everything. If things don't fit, they force or ignore them. That’s why they come across as unfeeling, sadistic ideologues.

Do you know that population
of Qatar is less than 4m ? Tell me why their
resources won't be sufficient. When an average
home in Nigeria has about 5 members of the
family and population of about 200m. So don't
shame Nigeria bro

so you saying in principle our politians can't loot us dry if we were as rich as Qatar per capita basis?
Dead wrong

Free of charge?
If above is not free, conditions?
For who?
By who exactly(partners)?

He is looking ibile and oleku-ish.

Same way obi changed Anambra lives and Atiku changed Adamawa lives.

Both but if only one, agriculture. Though local refining will save the weak naira faster if ready today, agric will take off the table the most recurring and heavy expense of the poor man as well as earn forex.

favor914:
Don’t blame me Code Templar, since you were born in The Federal Republic of Nigeria, name the year that government (army or civilian) has fixed the refineries?

Yet not one year has ever passed, that money for Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) wasn’t allocated.

Keep deceiving yourself, Lazy Almijiri.

keep consoling yourself

grandstar:
Argentina is a perennial basket case. It should be an economic powerhouse but bad fiscal and monetary policies are the bane of its economy.

It always spends above its revenue and lacks the backbone to cut spending. Cutting spending would mean slashing the bloated civil service, eliminating transportation and energy subsidies. These are untouchables, so things just go from bad to worse.

On January 1 1992, the Argentine Peso was fixed at $1-1peso. Today, it is $1-350 peso

Those who want the petrol subsidy to continue want the above to play out, This should be a warning.

as usual, bullshit logic. Their bloated civil service for example is only a burden to their purse because they don't produce their salary worth.
Petrol subsidy should never have been touched without local refining capacity doubling local consumption

favor914:
Those Allocators were correct, fix refineries indeed, with which money, same money been used to pay subsidy for you?

Quite obvious that you did not click the link, just jumped into a vague assumption.

so it only when the govt you work for is tasked with performing that money finishes? When they need furniture allowance, constituency project funds, general looting lootables, 120 convoy there is money.

Pilgrimage, war in Niger, rail to Niger they have funds o.

You must be high on fufu and blood tonic this morning.

omohayek:
It isn't, and if it had been, a one-time devaluation of the Naira would have ended the problem once and for all. The real problem is that Nigerian governments spend more than they earn, which they try to reconcile by a mix of borrowing abroad and simply printing more money. It's the printing of ever more money that causes the problems, as it gives rise to inflation, of which the slide in the Naira's value against the US Dollar is just another manifestation. Nigerians aren't surprised when tomatoes cost 20% more than they did this time last year, yet act shocked when USD also costs 20% more, as if Dollars weren't simply another good to be purchased.

is like the shege is banza-ing you o.
You sound so honest suddenly and your man grandstar so humble very suddenly too.

To all Nairalanders, Heaven is real and Jesus is the key.

Jesus promised eternal life to anyone who accept him and his/her Lord and saviour.

This is an assurance.boldly given.

He called Lazarus out of the grave after four days.

If he had not mentioned him by name, all the dead would have risen at his voice.

He is the resurrection and the life.
Accept him today.

good morning child of god. How's this admin favouring you and yours?

Competence over tribal affiliation for me anyday.

grandstar:
It is bizarre. I also feel the government should have waited till the new ministers have been sworn in before making such an important decision.

The FG has also dismissed the myth about a re-introduction of fuel subsidies.

you sound less arrogant these days o.

As Explained by O'tega Ogra:



OPEOLUWA also explains:

This pure a loan collateralized with crude and repaid with crude. No more selling of crude before presenting dollar, they using ND oyel directly now.

It is like a farmer exhausting his income and assets for collateral to repay/secoure old debt, so uses future harvest to take loans so he can have cashbin the present. Very disturbing signs of a crash.

Loans indeed. Mumu liars

We told them o. Fix refineries first, they allocated me villages in Osun and Abia. Now see ...

Tinubu carefully using the Buhari script to evade issues. Shock ko, electricity ni.

You tried.

India strategically dealing with hunger.

Even world bank don understand their stealing tactics...

they know if they do not bypass our local distribution process that money is gone. Let the world bank ask for account details check transaction history and do bvn elimination themselves. Anything short of this is risky.
