During their dinner date, Burna Boy and Chloe Bailey received matching wristwatches

See the weak kiss!!! The babe go just chop Burna money for 6 months and go her way.

There's no such thing as a specific volume meant for the domestic market. The refiners should approach the oil compan ies and put in place purchase agreements

Funny enough the article itself doesn't mention the word STOLEN! This is why 90% of Nigerian students will fail comprehension

Again whoever put the topic out there just used that word to generate traffic!!

Petroleum Retail Asociation PETROAN Says 500,000 Oil Barrels Meant For Local Refineries Stolen Daily




https://saharareporters.com/2025/02/05/petroleum-retail-asociation-petroan-says-500000-oil-barrels-meant-local-refineries

Stupid allegation, this PETROAN is talking a lot these days and most of it nonsense.

When we had no refinery working on Nigeria, was the 500k barrels supposed to be piling up somewhere doing nothing? Of course the IOCs and NNPC lifted their share and sold internationally. And some of those contracts that have been in place for years are hard to break. And also asides that IOCs don't want to sell to local refiners due to credit issues. Only Dangote is very likely to pay you. The other smaller ones are huge credit risk. And FG refineries should be buying their crude from NNPC. If NNPC can't supply 150k barrels to its refineries despite owning 55%, is it Shell that should be supplying 500k with it's paltry 30%?

And at the moment there is no specific allocation of volume for domestic refining to anyone. It is supposed to be on a willing buyer willing seller basis. And it will still be in dollars anyway.

You must be a novice to economics. This morning people already queue up at MRS, because of N10 difference.

Which novice! Those ones don't value their time and have nothing better to do with it.

So if you are Uber driver would you stay on the queue for 1 hr for N30 difference? N30*60 liters if you fill your tank is N1800.

Too thick for me!

Santalpharay:
And for your mind it is all about your family. That they did their glasses in Nigeria means that the health Care is better in Nigeria. Ok. We don hear, next!

The point is that as some only see the negatives, others are also seeing the positives!!

yes I agree that healthcare overall is far better in the West, but if they give you appointment in 6months time and you die before then for a surgery that you could do in Lagos next week, who e help?

The Minister didn't say healthcare is better in Nigeria than the west! he said some people come here for healthcare and based on some comments here from others alluding to that fact, then he was not incorrect.

Newspapers just generate sensational headlines to sell papers and generate clicks for online advertisements.

There is no price war raging anywhere! So reducing price from N950 to N890 (N60), when crude prices had fallen back from $82 to $75 and Naira had appreciated from N1600 to N1480 is tantamount to price war abi?

The way we like to use 'crash' and 'price war' and all these big words for N50 decrease ehn!!!

You will see some headlines, 'naira tumbles in market'. Then you read the story and the naira just fell from 1590 to 1600!!!!

Amayabor1:
He is not lying though. But they are all Nigerians living abroad. Some go back to Nigeria to have their dental issues fixed because of the very expensive nature of dental procedures abroad. Some go back home for surgeries because these western countries don't rush to operate on you if it is not an emergency. They will give you a far date for the surgery. Some Nigerians just go back home and do the surgery and go back abroad.

Most folks wont accept because of their poor situation will not allow them to see beyond their nose.

The problem with healthcare in Nigeria, even in the good hospitals we have like Reddington and Lagoon, is not that its expensive. Its actually cheap by global standards. The problem is the low income of Nigerians.

I do eye glasses for my wife and kids who live in Yankee from here. Filling their prescription cost me N160k, yet the one for my wife alone in Yankee is $200 (N320k). To do for the three in Yankee would have cost me like N700k.

The main problem with Nigeria is that incomes are too low. If minimum wage were like N250k, the complaints would be less.

As it is 2 of my cousins who work in IT in California and were working 100% remotely are now in Nigeria because when naira devalued massively, they found that their salary that was a struggle in California is balling in Lagos and they can save a lot more here. Just rent alone, $3500 a month (N5.6mln) compared to a nice duplex in Lekki for N6mln a YEAR! They just needed Starlink and inverter for 24hr light.

Use tax payers money to build a road and the tax the same people for using it. Bulaba townhall.

You didn't read where a loan was taken for the road?

Dogalmighty17:
How much did it cost to construct this road? Concessioning this road for tolling for 25 years? Is that not excessive and a give away to China?
We must remember that a report came out that check points in the South East from August to December last year reportedly extorted over 100 billion naira from motorists. So imagine how much the Keffi-Akwanga-Lafia-Makurdi road will generate in 5 years. Possibly over a trillion naira. Did the road cost that much?

If subsidy has been removed, shouldn't the free funds be used to pay off loans collected for projects like this?

They are currently working on the Makurdi to Enugu axis with money China has made available. This will add a possible 5 tolling points. A vehicle traveling from Enugu to Jos will cross over 9 toll gates. That's absurd to say the least.

These tolling points will work 24/7. With huge volumes of cash in their possession. They will be prime targets for armed robbers.

You forgot they mentioned it's cashless

HEAVEN4444:
who takes this guy serious after his incident ?

Incident is one event and this is a separate event. Judge them independently

YaQsGaYa:
This man is just playing politics and monopoly with his PMS, seriously he's not helping anything because there is no stability in his products. Soon he will increase it to balance what he cut...

How can there be stability when the price of crude changes daily? The guy is even trying to keep prices steady for week. In yankee the price in the morning, afternoon and evening at the filling station can be slightly different.

If Dangote changes from N890 today to N892 tomorrow, is the N2 your problem?

Ishilove:
The fuel stations are always quick to jack up prices when there is an increase, but when there is a reduction, that is when they will remember that they have to sell off their old stock before adjusting the pumps

Same thing everywhere in the world. Don't be fooled into thinking its a Nigerian thing.

datola:
Hmmm.... Nigeria tins get as e be.

I have been looking for filling stations that sell Dangote fuel. Most of the MRS filling stations are out of stock. I was able to get one yesterday where I refilled. I want to see if I will get better mileage.

That better mileage thing is just internet sensation created to drive demand to MRS and it worked.

I have bought MRS all through January and don't notice any difference

Illiterate oyinbos. Drug is drug and can also be called medication.

The other one that's illegal is hard drug.

She can take legal action against them if it's true ir it's another social media cruiz

I don't think there is much basis for legal action. The police arrested her on a tip off, interrogated her and released her when found to be a wrong tip off. The person who gave the tip off, might have been prejudiced because she's black, but that's almost impossible to prove, besides she doesn't know who it was anyway.

The police on the other hand were doing their constitutionally empowered work.

freemanq:
Fellow brothers I strongly advice Nigerians save money and get solar as an alternative to government power, it's how obvious that government don't have good plans for Nigerians. They are travel abroad and seeing how foreign citizens enjoy basic things, Are they willingly paying their taxes. But here nothing to enjoy yet they are killing us with taxes and tariff hike

It's taxes that will enable you to enjoy those things. If no money, how can they invest in those things.

AbuTwins:
Are we band A still paying subsidy?

It would appear band a is still enjoying a bit of subsidy

Privatize the damned thing to a REPUTABLE company!

See the massive turnaround in Indorama, formerly Eleme Fertilizer and Petrochemical.

I hear it is currently one of Nigeria's biggest non oil exporters.

Green line on the Lekki Axis should be viable. Lots of middle and upper middle class families in that area, many of which would not mind taking a train to work in Marina or VI to avoid traffic and save on petrol.

I just pray LASG will ban Danfo on Regional Road. They should restrict them to Lekki - Epe expressway. They are the ones who cause 50% of the traffic on Lagos roads. Let the Regional road from VI to Abraham Adesanya be used strictly by private vehicles and non passenger commercial vehicles. Worst case, any passenger service on that road should be run by proper organized mass transit buses.

There is no big deal to Dangote importing crude, especially since he also exports refined products.

If he imports $2bln worth of crude and exports $2.8bln of refined products, what then is the problem?

And its not a big deal that Nigeria cannot supply him 100%. Some countries have refinery and have zero crude! Same way some countries have zero cocoa and export chocolate! Didn't they import the cocoa!? Important thing is value addition.

which fake live exactly ??
is it the 24hrs light

Was there a time minimum wage was standard or over

were Nigerians getting optimal health service from govt hospital at lower price or cheap

The cars and houses Nigerians built was it subsidized by govt abi naa govt drop 50% of the funds

My community bought our transformer, i did my gutter, we graded my street contributing, every house in my area fixed there borehole, we provide n pay vigilante every month

Thats the story of an average Nigerian whats the fake life, All my life i cant point one thing govt did for me, even if there is a Fake life naa masses live am or polithiefians

You can't find what government did for you abi? Let me count them for you.

1. Petrol subsidized from when you were born till 2024.
2. Diesel subsidized from when you were born till like 10 years ago.
3. Kerosene subsidized from when you were born till like 10 years ago.
4. Electricity subsidized from when you were born till 2024 (if you are on Band A). If not on Band A, then still subsidized.
5. Education subsidized from date you were born till now
6. Your lifestyle subsidized till you were born till now, because the FG and States do not collect commensurate taxes like other countries, so your parents benefited and if you are working you are also benefiting. Theis abroad you want to be like, go and see what they pay as VAT, Property taxes, Insurance, Personal income tax and more.


All these subsidies wouldn't even be a problem if it was costing us 20% of government revenue, but when you are borrowing for all these DOES IT MAKE SENSE!!!!

if YOUR BROTHER IS BORROWING TO SEND HIS KIDS TO A FANCY PRIVATE SCHOOL, ISN'T THAT FAKE LIFE!!!!!??

He should go and sit down!!! What are the PDP NASS members doing? IF he loves democracy, he shouldn't have been PDP candidate in the 2023 elections, when the party's own constitution had zoned it to South.

omoredia:
A lawless leader will have problems enforcing the law

Honestly, I wonder why enforcing the law is a big deal. Have constant surveillance every day with daily siezures and crushing of bikes. Only a fool will keep buying new bike, only for it to be seized within a month.

The okada's come back because they expect the initial gr a gra of government in enforcing to die down.

As a government, you have to show them you are crazier than them.

https://nairametrics.com/2025/01/27/oando-to-deploy-5000-electric-buses-for-public-transport-in-lagos-wale-tinubu/

Remains to be seen if this will happen! 5000 electric buses is not beans. Each one is like $400k minimum. So 5000 of those will be $2bln!!!

That makes zero sense and is clearly a scam. At most they will deliver maybe 100.

Bobloco:
Almost two years have passed in a four-year tenure, and they're still using the word 'we will! We will!'

lol, they expect to have an 8 year tenure

Ijaya123:
Really?

Is there any country in the world that sells unsubsidized petrol at the equivalent of N600 per liter?

Leave folks to be hoping against hope. Better face their reality and make adjustments necessary to survive at this times. I know it isn't easy, but its true we have all been living fake lives for too long.

sirblend:
How is electricity supply far better? When power generation has never exceeded 6000MW?

It's high time we drop this APC/PDP/ Labour party mentality.

You are the shallow one here! I made a simple statement on electricity supply....how you have equated that to partisan politics beats me!

TCN recently activated a 75MVA Transformer at the transmission station near my house in Lekki and the light has been more of less 24 hours since late December. Since Dec 20, not sure light has gone more than 5 hours combined.

Procashtips:
Imagine a struggling tailor being forced to use band A.

She makes ₦70k in a month but ends up using ₦45k to pay for electricity.

How's she expected to thrive?

If the tailor had no light before, then the tailor must have been using generator, even if its I pass my neighbor, which is still more expensive!

SERAP has now become laughable like NLC. Not sure which court will deem a tariff hike to recover costs and stay in business unconstitutional!!

Telco's tariffs have been constant for over a decade! Like it or not, rationally speaking, the price adjustment is long overdue
