[quote author=Kobonaire4 post=121270712]Keep abusing the illiterates. You are making the same mistakes that the Democrats in the USA made in 2016, that allowed Trump to win. Democracy is about convincing people about the merits of your cause. Many of you city guys don't go out and do that.[/quote He’s right actually. The literacy level plays a huge part in the elections in Nigeria. Do you notice that in areas where you have more literate people like the cities and townships, the choices made by the electorate are more sensible. That’s why you see Obi winning in Lekki, ikoyi etc.But once you go into the hinterland and villages, or illiterate parts of cities like shock, you find that the voting pattern is much more tribal. Unfortunately this election has assumed a tribal nature. Atiku or Kankwaso in the North, Tinubu in the West and Obi in the east. Tinubu will pick some stares in the north due to some APC state governors and ditto Atiku in the west in Osun. Obi on the other hand may not pick any state in the north or West at all. |
iwaeda:Abokis at work! For president they voted their own. |

WibusJaga:I hope you know only about 50% of Nigeria's production belongs to the government. The other half goes to JV partners. So it should be 1,600,000*800*80*.5=N54,400,000,000.00 |
TheRareGem1:I hope this increase is real and not audio production? Cos different parts of govt give different figures. Don't be surprised by tomorrow NUPRC or NEITI will come and say Nigeria's production is 1.2mbpd. However, to maximize the benefit of the Dangote refinery, we should be producing 2.5mbpd. So that the 600kbpd refined by Dangote and additional 100kbpd by PH refinery and modular refineries, which do not count to OPEC quota, will allow us export the 1.8mbpd OPEC quota and we earn the full value of our quota in USD. |
ebukajay184:Typical Igbo man house. Horrendous!! |
davidl7:Totally agree! People should put sentiment aside. |
eminikansoso:And which defensive midfielder has ever won African, European or World Player of the year? |
PlayMaker14:Mikel is not serious. He was not robbed of anything. How did he expect to win, a player who scores no goals, compared to Yaya Toure that was almost City's top scorer that season. That was the season where almost every time Yaya steps up to take a free kick, na goal. No doubt Mikel was superb that season, but Yaya was also immense that period. The clincher was that Yaya was scoring for fun. Bottom line, football is about scoring goals. And are you really about to argue with Eto and Drogba being the best at the peak of their powers? Anyway Nigeria can win this year if Osimhen keeps scoring and Napoli wins the Scudetto! |
nairamaniac:That means your are above 40 at the minimum. Today pikin won't have any clue what moonlighting is. ![]() |
millionboi2:Very good question. He's the glue holding that church together. |
pimplucious:Might do the hall, but certainly not a hotel. |
Tokskob2008:Why is it harder to hand out a $10 note, compared to N5000, which is multiple notes? Dollar is actually easier, just that in the hinterlands people might reject it due to difficulty in changing it as people will want to spend immediately |
Mamaafrik1:TsTV serious so? I don't think so. |
That's an average of $0.56 cents for a can. How is the chart showing over $2! Nigerians don't reason and verify info before they start arguing senselessly.

ZombieSlayer1:If you are looking at it from a business point of view, if petrol is subsidised at N165, while production cost is N400, then surely you don't expect the refineries to survive. From a social point of view, even if you want to say we accept the subsidy, Nigerian government has a horrible track record of running any business. I make bold to say there is NO SINGLE business run properly by FG. I challenge you to give me one that has been run effectively for 10years straight. Those are reasons why we cannot refine crude. |
ZombieSlayer1:That's cos they are STEALING the crude that oil companies used Billions to explore, develop and produce, using very crude techniques that destroy the environment and do not guarantee quality. It's all well and good using products from those artisanal refineries until your engine knocks! |
Kobonaire4:Left to me, I'd reduce the workforce by about 30%. Federal agencies, parastatals and civil service have too many unproductive staff at all levels. |
ZombieSlayer1:Oil producing doesn't make much of a difference if you take away subsidy. There is a cost to finding oil, developing, producing and refining it. If you are an oil producing country the only benefit is you avoid shipping costs. But funny enough, because of high cost of production here, it could be cheaper to buy crude from Russia right now, compared to refining locally produced crude. |
FalseProphet1:More like N700per litre |
But isn't it funny APC governor's are running helter skelter on this Naira notes issue. Yes I get that it's really frustrating for the people, particularly the 'masses', who are usually illiterate and less likely to have ATM and internet banking, but like Oseni said, the governors and politicians do not have our interest at heart. They Are only worried that the crisis will make them lose the elections. |
Deoo1125:There is nothing fantastic about cashless economy that we are not ready for. How are these same people ready to use GSM, but not ready for cashless. Its just a state of mind. In time, they will get used to it. Yes it can be hacked, but let's not over glorify that. If you take the necessary precautions, then you are relatively safe. Same way you can be robbed of your cash. |
thebosstrevor1:Going by this analysis, then it is only expected to be a short term thing. Cos eventually in a few months, the cash situation should normalize then things go back to the way they were. |
FreeStuffsNG:We shall see. On paper every proposal about how to do business in Nigeria always seems to make sense, until you take your container out of the Lekki port and then Customs and Agberos will be waiting for you. |
dododawa1:Its always the richest people in the news. In America, isn't it always Elon Musk these days... In UK there was a time it was always about Richard Branson. In fact at a time in this country, it was all about MKO Abiola. |
Kobonaire4:Quite right. What surprises me though is the lack of investment by Lafarge, despite the growth in demand in Nigeria over the last 10years and with opportunity for export. I guess because they are a multinational company with many global operations, they may not take Nigeria serious also because of our reputation for corruption and lack of ease of doing business relative to other companies. This is a case for having our own home grown industries that can invest at home, even if they also go abroad. Nigeria should be supplying the entire West Africa with cement. |
Indispensable85:If na you nko? |
Can someone help me with exactly why residential areas in Nigeria are always so haphazard. Houses are never in a straight line. Roads are never in a straight line. There's never greenery, there are no trees etc. The picture shows a middle class residential community in the US and very few, if any, middle class area in Nigeria matches this. Not yaba, or gbagada or Anthony. Not even Lekki phase1 in my view. No doubt, our uses of fences gets in the way, but even asides that the straight lines and the symmetry of the estate in the picture is just makes for a good environment.

Ournolly:Not sure its much of a gamechanger! Cos its too expensive. From what I gather, the NGN prices posted on the site are just for representation. Once you try to pay, I hear it will request for the USD equivalent. So In effect, the monthly subscription is almost N40k, as you will have to source your dollar at the black market, while the hardware costs is almost N450k. Those are not prices that are game changer prices. Besides if what you have meets your need, why do you necessarily need it. I have 10Mbps Fiber Optic and I can watch FHD with it for N11.5k. If I wanted 20Mbps, it would be N18k or so. So if that works, why do i need to cough out half a million naira of my hard earned money. And our gsm isnt that bad. i've watched matches on my phone at 1080p for the full 90mins several time without major issues. just the occasional drop in resolution now and again. |
