the real test will come when crude process go up past $50. At that price petrol should be like N170. We'll see if government has the liver to take petrol price that high. |
Fourwinds:Who said anything about arms. Did anyone protesting in Yankee carry arms. If Femi falana calls for one million man match to nass , he'll be lucky if 100 people show up. |
kitsall123:Don't you get it. Many people have refinery licences, but it makes no sense because our regulated price is TOO LOW!!!! |
Fourwinds:Managing the.money is a separate issue. What you are saying is like two wrongs. And reason why govt gets away with it is because we are all docile. Only George Floyd was killed and the whole America rose up. Yet our politicians commit far worse atrocities, but we all sit down and hope for our own opportunity to be as corrupt as them |
lexander:Govt didn't remove subsidy the first time. When crude prices crashed then, the import price was lower than pump price. So for that period government was not paying any subsidy. Doesn't mean they removed it. But when crude prices went back up, subsidy came through the back door again. |
cjrane:Because the subsidy was far more then. Don't you get it!! Besides don't forget that naira has also devalued by about 100% from 199 to 400 |
Jetline:The issue should actually be the wages in Nigeria not the price of petrol. I've always said that if I were president of Nigeria,I'd sack 50% the civil service ,but double salaries for the remaining. Nigeria needs a vibrant middle class. There is not point if 1mln people are earning N50k. Its better if 350k people are earning N150k. Because their purchasing power can attract industry. One reason Toyota,Samsung, LG, etc can never produce massively in nigeriabis because there are not enough people to buy their products. |
juvewalex:Yes it has actually. When petrol was reduced to N123, crude had fallen to $20 and now its back up to $41. |
Are they all Muslims in that house of assembly? Every time that place is mentioned all I hear is moshood, Ramon, Abdul, isiaka etc |
DexterousOne:And what exactly is the twerker selling? Her body? Our parents didn't really lie to us. That was the way then, even in the western world. Its the proliferation of smart phones and Internet in the last 10 years or so that has turned things on its head. Just seems weird to me that people who aren't adding to the body of knowledge or contributing anything of real value to the world are the new celebrities. |
Professorcplus:Very good point and very well said. How many people in the entire Nairaland wouldn't do a deal in their office if it would bring them N10mln, with chances of being caught being very low. Everyday in Nigeria, we are all being corrupt,either financially or morally, from lecturers sleeping with students, bankers doing forex deals or conniving with customers to shortchange their own banks for gratification, oil workers supporting bunkerers with info, civil servants frustrating citizens and forcing them to part with their money, police, immigration, customs, brothers swindling family members abroad on pretext of building house for them etc. How many more can I mention!? There are doxens more examples that highlight just how corrupt WE ALL are. Including many who make noise here. The true test of all our integrity is if we are offered a N1bln deal and we reject it and inform EFFC and continue with our normal salary lifes. |
Houses in Ibadan that don't have value!! Maybe they should turn it into a hotel. I grew up in Ibadan in Bodija area. Most of my friends houses in old and new Bodija, Ashi area, Akobo, Ikolaba etc....big, big houses are all empty, with kids either abroad or outside Ibadan. When parents die, the house becomes too big to rent. In some cases the houses are empty. The few ones on busy streets become hotels or lounges. The huge Tewogbade house in New Bodija on Ladoke Akintola had been turned into a bar/lounge as far back as 2009 or so. Only God knows the status of the property now. This was a house we used to marvel at in the late 80's and 90's, with plenty of modern cars in there. I am sure the same fate has befallen Arisekola Alao huge house in Ikolaba |
TheKingIsHere:Are you minding that one? |
Seems that's the new way of making money now...by actually doing nothing really, but finding a way to become popular (or notorious) online and using that popularity to start influencing or marketing for products. It really amazes me that people go to school to become doctors, lawyers, engineers etc, then someone just twerks on Instagram all day and starts endorsing products and selling stuff and bam........she's richer than a doctor, lawyer and engineer combined!! Yet during COVID 19, doctors and nurses are now appreciated globally, yet the twerker can't solve any medical problem. If a murder charge were falsely labelled against anyone here, a lawyer would be vital, but what would be the value of the twerker? If 3rd mainland bridge were to collapse, engineers would be required for the re-design and re-build. What value would a twerker add to that? Yet, she's possibly richer than them all. Just seems like a travesty of what is really valuable to maintaining/enhancing our quality of life and what our priorities are in this new generation. |
Sodiquinone:Before n ko. No be student visa you take go? Study abroad does not equate to relocate abroad. |
How come he has been living in Dubai all this while?? |
Good riddance in my view. Not much respect for politicians that failed to do the right things. Perhaps if health care in Nigeria were better, he and kyari would have made it. And these are the same politicians who would refuse to allocate money to healthcare. If wouldn't mind if COVID paid bubu a visit. Let's have a proper president for a change. |
chigodo:What's this V4 I'm seeing everywhere now. If you are referring to engine, there is no major auto manufacturer that uses aV4 engine configuration. Any 4 cylinder car is 99% going to be an in line 4. Even V6 is going out of fashion, and being replaced by turbo boosted in line 4 for more fuel efficiency. Stop trying to make the car sound more fancy than it is. |
I hope the FG will move forward swiflty and transparently to conclude this concession in the shortest possible time. This is what we need in Nigeria. Pass on a lot more responsibility to the private sector and let things flourish. MM2 is a good example. If the airport had been in govt control, it would have fallen apart by now. Instead, it's still operating almost same way it was when it was built. The facilities have even improved a bit from that time. When the escalator was old and faulty, it didn't take long to replace it with a new one. If it had been govt owned, that escalator would have stopped for years. We need the same thing for some key roads and other government infrastructure and assets. I don't know whey we waste money on NTA, when channels and TVC exist. NTA should be self operating I. E it should be able to sustain itself from its own revenues, otherwise it should be sold off. |
tobechi74:Since when did maiduguri have international airport?? |
janedonez:Perhaps because Enugu airport has not operated sufficiently as an international airport to be bankable, compared to the other 4 that have had international status for over 30+ years. However, having said that I would expect that if Enugu airport is further developed and also turned into a cargo hub for the Eastern market, the then it could be bankable for concession. |
FuckTheWorld:See you!! Ghana is doing far better as a country than Nigeria. If anyone will starve first, then it is us, with our uncontrolled population growth. |
iheame1:Not sure farming really puts any country on the most developed index. Even worse if you export cash crop and import finished product of same crop. What advances countries rapidly are industry, manufacturing, services and technology amongst others, all fed by high quality human capital. Unfortunately, human capital in Nigeria is very poor. |

Ilaumoh:Unfortunately I'm not a journalist. But truth be told it might be a good idea to create quality content for YouTube about Nigeria and make money that way. |
odomanis:Is this correct? I googled this and nowhere does it say Ghana purchases electricity from us. What they buy from us is gas via the WAGP (West Africa Gas Pipeline), which they use to generate electricity. |
Ilaumoh:I am not sure there has been any report showing state of progress on these ports. I'm sure if you go there, the site is mostly empty. Having said that journalists in Nigeria are the laziest in the world. Both print, radio and TV. All they do is follow politician up and down and quote verbatim with little or no independent analysis like Newsweek, Time, Economist, Wall Street Journal etc. So no newspaper or TV station can do a report on these projects and take a drone to take ariel clips as part of their report? Meanwhile YouTube is full of project reports of so many foreign projects - airports, dams, bullet trains, nuclear fusion facilities, and etc. |
hisexcellency34:Does Buhari do any work in the Nigeria before. The guy has no clue what's going on? Nigeria needs a crazy hands on President, not what we have at the moment that seems to be asleep all day! |
JasonScoolari:There is something in that Abuja that makes everyone there forget how poverty stricken the rest of the country is. Seems for the time they are there, they think the rest of the country is like Abuja. Abuja as a city sef is taking up too much of our resources. They found it easy to build Abuja airport road, but difficult to build Lagos Ibadan or PH Enugu, because that one is for their own benefit. The money spent on buildings and roads development in Abuja is not fair to the rest of us. |
I hope the road will be used and maintained. If all our infrastructure were well maintained, money would be spent on something else now instead of rebuilding what we did 10 years ago. There is a road about 10mins after Shagamu interchange on lagos ibadan expressway that goes to Olabisi Onabanjo University. That road is obviously so infrequently used that vegetation has grown to cover half the road in many parts. On my while drive of about 40mins on that road sometimes I don't meet up to 10 cars. |
pyrex23:€500 ke? |

? If he has just removed it then why was the price of petrol increase by almost 80% in his first term of ruling
