Hope Buhari and other agents of 'darkness' are watching?

Ordinary 500 Million naira?

Seriously my guy, grow up.

You called me wicked, I call you out for it, now you are accusing me of emotional black mail.

Right.

Anyway, nice knowing you. And grow up. Calling people wicked does not make you wise...or right.

lol...still trying hard to sell the unsellable.

Kobonaire2023:
Thank you for calling me wicked.

As it seems, I can no longer talk with you anymore. You are only interested in calling me evil and wicked, and that is not a discussion, that is being petty.

Good morning, get a life, and behave like an adult, not a child.

I honestly thought we were having a discussion, really.

Lol. Now switching to blackmail. It won't work.

Kobonaire2023:
Because most nigerians want it.

As they also want petrol subsides

And because it is easier for government to take bad economic decisions because ' poverty ' while they borrow to cover our embarrassment

Always coming up with the invalid argument to justify wickedness.

Kobonaire2023:
Yes, so? At the end, making petrol is a profit driven business.

Plus it is tax credits. Money NNPC wouldhave paid as taxes

Then why is govt still subsidizing education health and more, when we know that are all businesses.

Ths is where emefiele got 100m fund to by presidency form.

N40B for CBN intervention projects, NNPCL didn't start it.

gracealonev:
NNPC has no business constructing roads or awarding such roads. They should pay all their profits into government coffers.
It is another way of fleecing the nation.

Exactly. CBN too posses as a revenue generating entity and do projects, NNPCL under the firm control of Hausa speaking folks only took it to a new level.

@Kobonaire2023, come and see the money NNPCL doesn't have to subsidize petrol or properly block petrol smuggling.

DMerciful:
NNPCL is running their own govt? Why is Bubu so clueless!

All federal road construction should be under the ministry of works so that there's one standard criteria for choosing the roads to fix.

God bless you for this insightful observation.
Once the northerners dominate any parastatal this is what happens. They are the problem we have.

The red flags are just too much.

Refineries are down yet part of NNPCL's core responsibilities.
The NNPCL has been running at loss and I wonder how they have 1 trillion.
There is a functional ministry of works handling roads.
Who harmonizes road project between NNPCL and ministry of works?
They say we are borrowing to subsidize petrol yet they have hidden trillions for this.

The red flags are just too much but under Buhari, what do I know?

Mental people everywhere. So it is the religious inclination of President and the vice President that does the magic?

The surrounding houses tells a truer story.

Lol.

Wonderful. So a handful of businessmen are the real giants within the "giant" of Africa?

The used poverty to subsidize crowd rental and vote buying.
Three useless candidates Obi, BAT and Atiku are contesting to be the one under whom Nigerians hit the streets in fustration.

[quote author= post=120123415]Our car can travel 20km with 1 litre of petrol.
A normal vehicle will give you around 15–20 kms per litre in average Port Harcourt/Lagos traffic conditions with a 1.0 or 1.2 litre engine.

And for others,
Let's say, for example, that your specific car uses 8.0 litres of fuel per 100km.
The actual formula to get km per litre is 100 divided by 8 = 12.5, meaning that your car will give you 12.5 km on one litre.



Angrygoat, why are you angry?
Dis one never cause fight nah!
It's just a simple question!

kenedyx:
I got a huge contract through my brother's company.

The contract is securely in my possession now and I've been fully paid. Initially, the plan was for my bro to supply me the materials

But the issue now is the quotation he's giving me is way higher than what I'm getting elsewhere.

I've asked him to beat down his price but he's adamant. I plan on sidelining him if he doesn't do the needful.

Guys any thoughts on this?

do it yourself and give him a cut if he complains tell him the profit and show him the papers or payment documents proving the profit made.

In other words, natural resources is just like inheritance in man's life.
You can either invest it wisely or blow it on fast living and achieve broke state fast.

Marriage is. If yahoo people can use marital destinies of another to cash out, then it is an achievement for those who fulfil it.

Lol...preemptive lamentations.

Lostchild:
I remember seeing one thread here on nairaland of a boy who complain of him having financial depression. He said he had no food, no money, no light, no television to comfort him.

I was shocked when I saw some here asking him, have you given your life to Christ?

Some even comment, have you accept Jesus as your Lord and savior?

I was like, wtf is wrong with these funny people? A person is depressed and you are asking him to accept Jesus in hunger?

I think your understanding of Christianity and bible is off the mark.
The message of the bible let's us know man is a spirit and has a mind. Both can come under attack. Being in Jesus isn't out of place for a depressed person.
As for his hunger, there is trust issue when it cones to generous giving among us because we know what we are capable of.

Kobonaire2023:
So since government is broke by your assertion, why do you want them to keep paying subsides?

You want debt to increase, ko?

Don't quote me to mock me again. Thanks. You have just proved my point....and I will add that government got into the brokeness by their refusal to remove subsides and improve tax to gdp ratios, as well as bad leadership.

There is no such thing as free lunch.

As long as more unevenly distributed and wasteful subsidies are maintained no problem with petrol subsidy for me.

sulaak:
Then they should find a trade and not attend university. Nigeria requires more artisans than university graduates

the issue is beyond the skillset or level. It is all about low production and dependency on resources sharing instead of production.

alimiadedayo1:
which government is broke? pls are you okay? are you the CBN governor or accountant general of the federation.. pls don't come into box again.. you are such a disgrace to the youth.. government is broke and billions of dollars are wasting ever day

govt is indeed broke. Look at debt repayment to income ratio. They have borrowed and want to borrow more. That's should tell you something. I admit there are leakages and wastages but the govt is broke and that's the fact.

alimiadedayo1:
God bless you, I have said let ASUU stop fighting government for students sake.. what the government wants is for them to increase the school fees in order to take care of ASUU welfare because they don't want to take full responsibility for it.. by the time all federal university school fees reach like 250k many of the useless students supporting government against ASUU their brain will reset back to normal

govt is broke and can no longer do the hidden father Christmas show whereby they subsidies education unconditionally. ASUU or no ASUU, the available money to cater for emerging needs are limited.

Poppia:
I'm an orphan and i sponsor myself. I normally pay 33k now they are asking me to pay 125k. Where do I get such amount? More worrisome that I got 2 more sessions to go.

What you do not realize is FG was putting down hundreds of thousand on your behalf while you were still paying 33k. As things are now, there is inflation and govt is almost broke going by what comes in versus what is used to service debts on ground. That leaves any FG owned institution with the option of sourcing for funds internally, and who else should they bill if not the main beneficiary of the system.

Kobonaire2023:
Well, if the students don't want to pay the fees, that is fine by me, and everyone else. They should not be punished for being poor.

However, they should not complain about bad facilites, bad equipment, and bad libraries, and bad hostels. The fees they pay are not sufficent enough to make things good like universites in sane countries.

Universites in sane countries are good because fees are sky high (and students take loans to pay them back...) or people pay taxes (half their income in some countries like Denmark) to get good and decent universites.

We all get what we pay for. But I doubt that any university can be world class on an income of between 30-60 million dollars a year.

Lol.

Have you dropped your support for evil subsidy removal?
These are some of the other wasteful and unevenly distributed subsidies the govt wants to maintain with petrol subsidy withdrawal funds.

naijainstinct:
Things have really changed. I recall when I gained admission into UNIMAID in 2005. My first fees as a fresher was N15,000. In subsequent years, I paid between 8,000 and 12,000 except for final year in 2008 when I paid N18,000 because of added field trip fee and an extra 5000 for late registration.

Where are we heading in this country? Tuition fees have risen over 1000%, yet, salary has not risen beyond 200%

The FG has limited money and cannot keep subsidizing universities like UniMAID. The days of comfortably distributing oil sale proceeds to fund unproductive venture are over. If the students pay for the education, there will be a sense of purpose around how the schools are run from choices of programs offered, to how students conduct themselves during and after their time in the school.

At 2000 per card. A million vote is 2 billion. That's affordable to many politicians and I see prices per PVC going up to N10,000 per vote delivered.

Great. Fintech is saturated and agric is a welcome direction given the reality of food prices.

Lol... Only to claim independent woman when they get to eat the dude's money.
