No source .. Propaganda week loading

You didnt see all the quoted source? Bro look again, this time with your glasses on

And probably by now we should hav built up expertise in that sector

MIKOLOWISKA:
is it there hungry governor's looting left right centre. Obj said anybody can collect licence and build but refused to allow Lagos under fashola to do so cos they were opposition

I expected that many far northern state shuld have been depending on solar already.

I read somewhere that if only 1% of our 937,000sqkm of our land mass can be used for solar farm then we would generate more than 10x the amount of power we need..... and i wonder with all the billion spent every yr and the area that has been encroached by the desert ,which will give us areas of maximun irradiarion,why we have not even look at that alternative all this while

Come oh.. is it cumpolsary that only FG that hav to build power plants?

Are states not allowed to build their own power stations due to their natural endowments ?

Pls anyone that know how this thing work should let us know.

Because am surprised that countries that are in the forefront of solar panels manufacturing and usage are cold countries but we, with all the sunshine and what have you are still struggling to generate light and accept solar as a source of generating same in large scale

Comparative advantage. Simple

Power plants in the north can run on hydro, solar while those in the east can run on coal and gas for those in the south south simple

It give everybody sense of contribution and doesnt make some region feel they are depended upon

Vandalism: FG considers more investment in hydro, solar for better power supply

For the incessant vandalisation of gas pipelines to power plants, the Federal Government is planning more investment on hydro and solar for better electricity supply.

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) stated this at a partnership between the United States government, under the aegis of USAID and Power Africa initiative on one hand; and Nigeria’s power distribution companies, the DisCos, on the other hand in Abuja.
The Minister, who revealed that the country had attained the highest level of electricity generation of 5, 074 megawatts of power supply in February, stated that it has dwindled as a result of deliberate vandalisation of oil production platforms and pipelines and gas supply lines.

Stating that with this situation it is difficult to rely on gas fired plants to increase power generation, he said, “We have also focused on accelerating the deployment of solar power in order to diversify our energy mix and reduce our dependence on gas and the risk that over-dependence on gas poses to our plan of incremental, steady and ultimately uninterrupted power.

“We are working hard to stimulate the use of solar, and we are accelerating plans to complete Zungeru hydro power plant, the Kashimbilla hydro plant, the Gurara hydro plant and conclude the procurement plan to start the construction of the Mambilla hydro plant.

“In addition, I am pleased to inform you that the ICRC has concluded business case reviews for the first phase of eight small hydro power plants
“We will be taking further steps to complete the procurement process and start work on these dams to generate electricity with our water resources and gradually reduce our dependence on gas and the risk of a single power source.

“We have been dependent on gas by choice and we will become independent by choice and diversification.”

Why are most of this online shops such as jumia, konga olx, kaymu etc not using the services of nipost?

At least for deliveries and what have you. They already have the man power, know the terrain and are in all nooks and crannies

Besides, with the upward review of the Price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise known as petrol from N86.50 to maximum of N145 per litre (about $0.73), the cost of petrol in Nigeria is about the lowest in Africa and among some oil producing countries.

Data obtained from GlobalPetrolPrices, which was updated at the weekend, showed petrol in Chad costs $0.78 per litre; Togo, $0.80 per litre; Kenya, $0.81 per litre; South Africa, $0.84 a litre; $0.85 a litre; Niger, $0,90; Ghana, $0.92; Sierra Leone, $0.94; Uganda, $0.97 and Angola, $1.00 per litre.

Also, in Rwanda, Mali, Malawi, Guinea, a litre of petrol sells for $1.15, $1.15; $1.17; $1.17 respectively, which are far higher than the price in Nigeria.

Jump in with all the pleasure,

I jst hop after 6mnth someone would not b calling you out on twitter/instagram to come and take responsibility

Arabic studies takes precedence over mathematics in the desolate parasitic north

How has your been an english slave helped you any? The arabic literate and mathematically deficient leader hadbeen determining yoir fate for time immemorial. Your animals studying phd holder simply lacks the balls to what the present admin is doing theredore go figure!

Raise the level of your argument, not of your bigotry. Wether you wish for things to get better or not still affect me and you. There is no seperate mkt for me or a different filling station for you deal with that.


Oh for your senseless knowledge i am a kogite

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Crass nonsense...

Then why are the state owned NNPC retail stations selling at 145 naira when they get to import fuel at the prevailing 199 naira?

Or is the cost of refining crude to petrol in the now technically operational state owned refineries commiserate to that of imported fuel bought at the pseudo official rate of 289 naira?

Use sense ab0ki

The NNPC also selling at 145naira is a different argument entirely. Labour might raise that point and make it a basis for embarking on industrial action.

The FG has also always insisted that even if the refineries work at optimum capacity they can only produce 40% of the nations fuel needs. Their level of production now i cannot state.

And the aboki part is uncalled for. Hope your own sense is working optimally

Pls note that the Saudi report above was from 28th Dec 2015

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID NOT REMOVE SUBSIDY BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUBSIDY AT #86.5 PUMP PRICE OF FUEL
This is what the government has done. The government has simply stopped giving foreign exchange to fuel importers and has asked them to source for foreign exchange through secondary sources.

Why has the pump price of fuel increased from #86.5 to between #135 and #145? This is specifically is as a result of the difference between the official exchange rate and the informal (parallel) market exchange rate.
This is the simple mathematics. The official exchange rate is #199 per dollar while the parallel market exchange rate is #320 per dollar. This represents and increase of 37% (320-199/320 × 100 = 37.8%).
This reflected exactly in the new price of petrol as it increased from #86.5 to an average of #140 which is an increase of 38% (140 - 86.5/140 ×100 = 38%). There may be a gap in the dissemination of information to the public and it is totally regrettable.
The Federal government cannot continue to be the sole source of foreign exchange for the importation of fuel in the face of falling price of crude resulting in the depletion of our foreign reserve. It Is unsustainable and cannot satisfy the domestic consumption of fuel in Nigeria. Nigeria gets foreign currency from the sale of crude and the price of crude has fallen by over 70%. This means that the government no longer has enough dollars to give to fuel importers. A lay man should be able to understand this. With the competition that will set in from the open market, it s expected that these pump price of fuel will naturally crash in time.

Saudi Arabia hikes petrol prices by 40% at the pump


Saudi Arabia has raised domestic energy prices by as much as 40 percent after the world's leading oil producer announced a record $98bn budget deficit on Monday citing rock-bottom global petroleum prices.

The budget deficit is the highest in the history of Saudi Arabia, but was not as big as some expected. The International Monetary Fund had projected a deficit of $130bn.

The kingdom has seen a sharp drop in revenues as oil prices have fallen more than 60 percent since mid-2014 to below $40 a barrel.

Public revenues are the lowest since 2009 when oil prices dived as a result of the global financial crisis. Saudi income for 2015 was 15 percent lower than projections and 42 percent less than in 2014.

In order to address the situation, the Gulf kingdom has set the price of 95 octane gasoline at 0.90 riyals ($0.24) per litre up from 0.60 riyals per litre - a hike of 40 percent. The price increase takes effect on Tuesday, the official SPA news agency said on its Twitter account.

The decision came hours after the ministry of finance said it will slash subsidies for electricity, water, diesel and kerosene over the next five years.


Why is OPEC refusing to cut oil production?
Revenues were estimated at $162bn - well below projections and 2014 income, while spending came in at $260bn, finance ministry officials announced at a press conference in the capital, Riyadh.

"About 80-90 percent of government income comes from oil," Walid Arab Hashem, an economist and former member of the Saudi Shura Council, told Al Jazeera.

But he said Saudi Arabia has huge foreign reserves above $700bn that it can use to finance the gap in the budget.

"It may also issue some bonds to borrow from the market depending which is better for it," Hashem said from the Saudi city of Jeddah._

NnamdiN:
That number 5 ehn. You'd just be on your own and person don already place bet on top your head say she go "do you"
Ladies stop bragging about your guy. Yes, his love could be undying but all it takes to get that thing up and inside is "you're cute, here's my number" with exposed bo.o.bs and she turns to show the most beautiful ukwu ever
Right now the devil is using my sister's friend.
Wonder how much bet they've placed on me
If you see my sis, tell her she's lost that bet

O'boy leave your sis friend alone nah. Shey you no be like a 'brother' to her again ni?

What if the guy was using you to get to your friend?

Oya now.

I declare that you waste it on michellla

Mafking:
OK.. I believe you Sha...those points.. It was as if you were writing abt me, so I tot you are into my twin bro on the other side hence the pulling of your legs

Guy if you don finish with the leg wey u dey pull , hand it over

Lol

Michellla:
-He’s always busy. No rain check.
-he sets up dates last minute
-he keeps rescheduling,
-he flakes constantly on you

That should be what guys do on second thought

To a side chick

[quote author=halfricanadian post=45599611][/quote]Well are you going to create a counter thread?

I know guys too do it. They steal their frnds babe

And notice that it didnt say fiancee or husband.

So its possible the friend know that her friend is not ready to marry the guy whereas she on the other hand is ready for marriage

Introverts are known to be smart, intelligent, caring and industrious.

This is because, as others are out partying they are busy thinking how those parties can be made better.

As others are busy talking they are busy thinking how to solve a problem.

They dont keep many friends but the few they keep are quality friends.
You are not competing with anybody to have dated alot of girls. So that shouldnt be a priority in your life.

Be determined and later in life you will discover that your life is far far richer than that of an average extovert because some of them are just good at boasting even of things they did not do

Michellla:
of course they wouldnt.
they know what they are targeting

But then the friend too has succeded in her target. She might not necessarily also want the guy for keep but she feel she has achieved her aim if its out of jealousy or wickedness

4. Care
Every lady loves to be pampered, cared for and loved, if your guy is giving you such then your friend(s) would want to steal him, he is a scarce commodity.

3. Money
What else if not Money, he doesn’t spare any cash to spoil you and your friend(s) are aware, hmmm where ever there is Sugar, ants comes in thousands.

2. Love
She could fall in love with your BF, ”Birds of the same feathers flies together after all” she might just like the same type of guys you do.

1. Jealousy .
If she finds the guy caring and loving she deffinately would get jealous especially if she is single or her own BF is not that caring and nice. So stop telling your friend how caring your guy is.


There you have it. Let the BASHING begin

Michellla:
she's jus plain dumb & envious

Well, i can assure you this your comment isnt going to stop ladies envying each other. And definitely there will continue to be dumb girls but it doesnt necessarily mean the guys that would end up 'FRIENDING' Them would think they are dumb

SANDOSKI:
Thank u

I once overheard a lady boasting how she has been sleeping with her sisters husband.

How caring and passionate he is. Blah blah blah

7. Fun
Have seen some ladies who claimed they did it just to have fun (something to kill boredom), i once ask a female friend why she would do such to her friend and her reply was ” doing something crazy & silly can be fun sometimes ” she said.

6. Wickedness
Yeap some friends are like that, they believe if they are not happy, you their friend dont deserve to be as well, while some would do it just to see you sad. Hmmm some friends could be evil i tell you.

5. Ego
Some ladies just do it to show they can most especially if you are bragging of his undying love for you or that you trust him so much that you know he wouldn’t cheat on you, men! you just called the Calvary upon yourself. Stop the act, now.
