We all know he can't, you're just deceiving yourself.

Well light in my part of lekki has been almost uninterrupted in 3 months. We get like 23.5 hours a day

Story!! All these spurious claims, yet they will never tell you the person. Just false stories.

Gboss247:
When you wake up from your dreams, imported are heavily subsidized below there production cost in Europe. Europe has the most expensive petrol in the world while Nigeria is has 12th cheapest petrol in world claiming to import illusionary cheap from Europe.

In most of Europe, up to 30-50% of the pump price you see is made up of taxes, which we don't have even 1% tax on petrol yet. So thats part of the reason why the pump price is a lot more expensive.

Ikaeniyan0:
Did you not go through the article? It's cheaper importing into Nigeria especially when it's imported from a country like Russia.

If its true that its cheaper from Russia, then its probably only because they are looking for an outlet for their processed crude due to sanctions. So maybe they are offering it cheaper. The fact that the so called cheaper fuel is coming from Russia in particular is highly suspect. Why not USA, Europe, Middle East or Asia?

I have said it before,there is a deliberate attempt to continue keeping us in darkness,for how many years now we are still on 5000mega watts,how naa?
For a population of over 250m people.

Deliberate by who and for what purpose? Nigerians love conspiracy theories sha. Every problem is caused by someone else. And please don't tell me that nonesense of generator importers!!

If ENUGU state wants electricity to be N160 in its regulatory domain, it either generates its own electricity and sells it at whatever price it wants or buys it from the grid and subsidises it. There is no other way. As of now, almost all the power plants in the country belong to the Federal Government, as well as the Transmission grid.

And state government shad better not go down that route of subsidy. It has not worked in any sector in Nigeria. All it breeds is corruption and inefficiency. The tariff should be cost reflective. Let the business thrive and grow by itself.

Kukutente23:
Dangote should quit wailing
He's getting subsidised crude yet he's pointing fingers at others getting fuel from Russia
What does he mean by subsidized Russian fuel
Is Russia paying subsidy now

Which subsidised crude is Dangote getting? Oya tell us the price he's paying, since you know!!

Gotocourt:
State governments should create their power plants and distribute their energy. The polithiefcians governors won't do that but rather start controversies 🤷

Its not the job of any state government to be building power plants. Thats what the private sector is there for!!

Using NGN1478.965197 average annual exchange rate, the US Dollar equivalent of the 2024 figure is about US$252.068 billion.

Where on earth did you see that exchange rate? Even on CBN website, Niara has not yet gone below 1500

redcliff:
Na olosho work them use rebase this time again? Economy dey grow, people dey suffer, prices of goods high for market and people no fit afford food to chop. Economic growth my foot!

Like it or not, prostitution, hookup, runs, FWB or whatever name its called is a huge contributor to the economy. I hear the busiest Uber route is on friday evenings between yabatech/unilag axis and the island. You go just dey see hundreds of that popular toyota corolla with pretty girls in the back heading out of that axis. Just imagine if 1000babes are collecting N50k on average every Friday, not to talk of other days of the week. That tells you how much money moves around in that business nationwide, although lagos is certainly the biggest by far.

LagosOrigin:
I will support any thing that will remove tinubu and APC

Lol. be careful what you wish for. All of them in ADC just want to come and steal their own money. They are all the same. ADC has not yet put forward any economic principle or solution.

Unless they want to bring back subsidy, there is not much they can do that will dramtically change the current situation.

OlujobaSamuel:
Dangote isn't getting anything from NLNG, he is producing 22000tonnes per day which is sufficient to disrupt the market.
LPG is a waste product, majority of the cost comes from logistics, so it's easy for Dangote to bring down cost as he needs little to no capital investment for production beyond storage.
Our annual consumption is about a million plus.
With 22k tonnes daily, he will be producing about 800k tonnes.
NLNG isn't selling its whole production to the Nigerian market, only a percentage of it is allocated to the Nigerian market, which is about 400k tonnes per year, the rest is exported.
Dangote production is likely to increase with time, and with lower prices, Nigeria consumption is likely to go beyond 1m plus to 3 to 5m tonnes per year

I think the 22k tonnes was an error. Its most likely 2k tonnes. If it were 22k, then his annual production would be 8million tonnnes, which is 6 time more than our purported 1.3million tonnes consumption annualy.

SalamRushdie:
I have maintained this for ages that Nigeria doesn consume more than 15 million litres a day , this was what Tinubu was supposed to solve instead of shouting that subsidy is too much , if you fix daily consume you will see that Nigerian can easily afford any fue subsidy , I have a technique that can on earth true daily consumption figures

Somebody who owns a refinery is saying about 35million litres, you sit down in your house and say 15million litres!! ok o.

https://dailytrust.com/buhari-retained-petrol-subsidy-so-nigerians-wont-die-ex-minister/

How convinient to say this now that he's dead. So to retian subsidy, you bankrupted the nation!?

Its one thing to retain subsidty if we can afford, its another thing to print money of N22trln and take loans with Nigeria's future oil production.

That is the main cause of the inflation we have today. His poor management of FX from 2016 is what caused portfolio investors to flee and thats what caused a run on the currency from 360 to 750 or so.

Buhari is the main reason for the problem we have today and I salute Tinubu for having the balls to do the right thing economically, despite the obvious pains.

Most of the masses will clearly not agree, because they are thinking with their stomachs, not their heads, but Tinubu has done the right things in removing subsidy and liberalising the FX market. At least the exchange rate has stabilised and is slowly recovering. At its worst it was 1900 in the parallel market, but now down to 1550.

And the Tax Act and incentives for oil and gas production will have an impact in the next 3-5 years.

Mind you I am not in support of APC or PDP. All politicians as we have the today are useless, but between Buhari and Tinubu o, give me Tinubu anyday!!!

"he should work towards collaboration, instead of competition" See statement from LPG markerter!! So he's basically saying Dangote should join them to form a cartel. Isn't it competition that brings down prices?

Why don't the join the FG gas monetization program to crete their own LPG plants forfrom flared gas?

Thats why I always say most Nigerians are not good business men, but the are good traders. Just buy or import, add margin and sell. No value add.

yinkus6750:
You people cannot comment on someone's post without Insulting your generation and disgracing your lineage.
FG should have sustained the subsidy till Dangotes refinery kick off and now cancel importation totally. Subsidy would have died naturally. Most of us never supported subsidy, with the high level of corruption exposed by the Otedola gate.

So what's the difference between what you said and where we are now?

As of today Dangore refinery is operating and subsidy is no more.

casdoruche:
Please the whole issue started from Buhari now tinubu

Fuel is too high


You were among the unwise that said the reason subsidy was to be removed was to prevent smuggling

Many goats Dey Nigeria sha
So because of smuggling na why you na remove subsidy without proper plans

Anyways 3 years after nothing to show for it

What plan are you expecting and what is the plan supposed to have done to the price? The price is the price, simple. Does any plan change the price of crude in the international market?

Meektunz:
In the past when Landlords are renting out their houses, they don't care about your privacy as far as you will pay their money at when due but these days Landlords are so annoying and they start asking what you do for a living etc... Well, I can excuse that due to the fact that they don't want to give out their house to a criminal. But they go as far as give agents the following conditions to rent out their house;

1. I only need a male tenant, single and working class

2. I only need a female tenant, single & working class

3. I only need a newly married couple without kids

4. I only need a single male or female but the type that go out in the morning and come back in the evening.

5. I only need a married couple with children

6. I only need a corper. Haba, for goodness sake.

7. Some Landlords will tell you they don't care who wants to rent the house but he would lock his gate latest by 9. I've encountered that before and it wasn't funny throughout my stay in the house for 2 years.

8. Some Landlords will tell you they don't like you bringing in friends anyhow whether male or female.

9. Other landlords will say they don't want womanizers that would bring black girl in the morning, fair girl in the afternoon, fat girl in the evening. Etc.

10. Lastly, some Landlord would say they need 2years rent at once. They don't collect one year rent.

11. There was a house I stayed, the landlady told me that she collects one year light bill together with your yearly rent because she doesn't want to knock your door every month asking for your light bill. It was estimated billing then and she pays same amount every month because she has no dept of even one naira on her bill. Though it helped me somehow Sha.

Please guys share your experiences.

Its not so annoying when you consider that government will often say that properties rented out to kidnappers, ritualist, drug dealers etc will be demolished. Also with the amount of default in payment of rent and messing up of properties by tenants, its not annoying at all.

jmoore:
Those in Aba are already used to it.

Aba power is not benefiting from any subsidy.

I am in band C under Aba power and my tariff is 180 naira per kWh.

My advice to others connected to other discos is that if you have spare money, be it 100k, 300k, 600k and you are a prepaid customer. Better buy in bulk, whether you are in band e or band B.

And on average, how many hours of electricity are you getting per day

Starpro87:
Dangote is, obviously, playing with our intelligence.

Was there any reason he increased price for Nigerians a few weeks ago?

Why is his Price dancing within 800 and 900?

Maybe we will still benefit someday.

. So you didn't see where crude oil prices increased when US bombed Iran abi?

SmartPolician:
IMO, a child of 16 is even too young to be in the university. What people mostly do in school is cram and pour. A university should be a place where people are involved in critical thinking and coming up with innovative solutions. I don't see how a child of 16 can do that.

If you return to read the books you used during your undergrads, the way you understand it now won't be the same way you understood that time because your brain is well advanced now. I think the limit should be 18 or 16 years with the prerequisite that the child hits 300 or above in UTME.

You understand it better now because of experience!

I'm sure this article was lifted somewhere and not written for Nigerians. Cos I don't think Turkey has e-visa for Nigerians. As for Thailand, Nigerians even need EFCC letter and they may come validate your residential and office address.

Nigeria To Regain Biggest African Economy Position After Rebased GDP


https://dailytrust.com/nigeria-to-regain-biggest-african-economy-after-rebased-gdp-report/

I recall they said it would capture prostitution. And to be honest it really should, cos the amount spent on Hookup, Runs, Prostitution, Ffrriends with benefits and whatever else name is called, is humongous, particulalrly in Lagos, where all the clubs, bars and lounges are filled with these girls.

Bade007:
why is a private airline operating a state government property

Because its probaby not State government property. You reckon the govt paid cash for 5 brand new planes? The probably did a wet lease where the owner will operate by himself on behalf of the government and they will share revenue.

Xpol:
Yea, just like it's being done in NOUN e-exam. Only you and computer, no internet, you won't even have same questions with those sitting around you and you get your score immediately you finish and submit.

Yeah, the no internet enabled terminals might be a good solution. And the wifi should be totally disabled, so that students don't use their own devices as hotspots.

CodeTemplarr:
Why not replace written paper submission with oral defence so the ideas are forced to pass through the brain of the the students and not just from Internet to paper.

And how long will it take to do that for each student?

PDPdestroyer:
It got to a point I started getting apprehensive whether they have switched us to band A without notice, the light has been steady averaging over 20 hrs per day, sometimes 24hrs in my area

If you enjoy this level of light for a month, you'll likely be migrated to band A

Freetech:
It's sure the private entity paying 50m per annum for the ICC will be part of the coalition.

Like Atiku who sold $300b Ascon for a paltry $200m, claiming he made mistake

Atiku and Obi has never done any serious investments in their lives, yet they want to rebuild Nigeria. The leeches

Obi's Next in UK is long dead. He can't manage but is promising us new Nigeria

$300bln? Really!? Did you think logically before quoting that figure? Does it seem possible to you?

The FG should resolve the Mambilla hydro dam issue with Sunrise. That project should be priority number one.
