u are a big liar...u must be one of them.....

we all know this...before increase in petrol., what happen.? hoarding....them dey sell d old fuel for new price.


I will keep saying it...Nigerians are wicked simple

Not defending them but any sensible business man would do that. It's basic street economics. If he sells at a price lower than current market value, where do you think he is going to get the money to restock given that he has to spend more money given that his own cost of purchase has also risen? You can't control that in a system where government fixes the price for petroleum. In a more liberalized and competitive system, the interaction between demand and supply will determine the price of fuel and competition may even ensure that the pump price is lower than what you have under a regulated regime.

Next time, try and argue with facts and not curse like a mad man.

I hope NUPENG members also have the necessary skills to get the refinery running. An employer should be free do away with the services of an employee where the required skills are lacking.

Pathetic Fayose!

Getting registered with NUT is not what makes you a quality teacher. NUT should rather be concerned with the quality of teacher training. There are many quack teachers that are NUT members.

My concern is with the closing statement.

"Statistics from the Nigerian Immigration Services revealed that six out of every ten travelers to Nigeria go to The SCOAN, with countless local businesses and hotels in the area relying on the church activities for their sustenance."

It's a huge loss to the economy.

Livebygrace:
Yet till now no effect has been made on goods in the market. People that were quick to skyrocket prices due to dollar hike are now sluggish to journey along with the dollar. An average Nigerian is a rogue.

There's a time lag between when a policy is initiated and when the impact is transmitted and felt. Besides, much of the commodities in stock were purchased during the period of the high naira dollar rate. Sellers would have to sell off these goods first at prices which reflect their original cost before they can restock and sell at new prices that reflect the current exchange rate.

Op, are you in Cape Town or J'Burg?

Ariel20:
One of the requirements is to get a letter of recommendation from my employer. I for one would rather keep this personal till I secure my permit

So my question is , would it count against my application if I don't get a letter of introduction from my company?

Also my dad is supposed to be my sponsor but he doesn't have an international passport. Must I present that even when he has other identity documents.


Thanks to everyone contributing answers

Apply for the Ingwe Option Plan from Momentum Health. Costs just 4020 rands per year. I was supposed to resume at Bosch in January but I am going to UCT now.

This is voodoo economics. The rich controls the system of production and distribution in this country. If you tax them more, they would attempt to defend their past living standards creating a ratchet effect (apologies to Prof. Kuznets) and shift additional costs to the masses through increases in the prices of basic goods and services. So, ultimately the poor man in the street bears the final incidence. Our best bet was to have saved enough for the rainy day in the years of high oil prices but our culture of squandermania would not allow us. Stop deceiving us. Just tell us to brace up for the challenges ahead because 2015 in all ramifications, would be a year Nigerians will never forget.

Can one go to the centre to complete enrolment on a Saturday?

I just observed that Nairaland has been so biased against opposition in recent times in their front page news. Now the bias is against Amaechi in the Presidency vs Amaechi saga. Nairaland should tell us how five people can impeach a speaker in a house of 32 members with 27 backing the Speaker. Please, let's stop promoting unnecessary chaos in the polity.

The man that throws Akwa Ibom's money around. Please they should help him steal some of them.

Am not a fan of Egwu but I can attest that Egwu invested heavily in human capital development in Ebonyi State. He was the first governor to declare free and compulsory education since democracy in 1999. He conducted exams in villages and local governments, picked the best Children, sent them on a leadership training abroad, gave them full scholarships to Hope High International School. At least, the man try in human capital development.

(CNN) -- President Obama brought a mixture of reassurance and defiance to Boston on Thursday to help heal a city hit hard by terrorist bombs.
"Every one of us stands with you," the president said at an interfaith service inside the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. "Boston may be your hometown -- but we claim it, too. ... For millions of us what happened on Monday is personal."
Then Obama's tone took a more defiant turn toward those who planted the two bombs that exploded near the Boston Marathon's finish line Monday. "Yes, we will find you. And yes, you will face justice," Obama said. "We will hold you accountable."
Calling the event a chance to "mourn and measure our loss," the president also reaffirmed that Boston's spirit remains "undaunted and the spirit of this country shall remain undimmed." He looked ahead to next year's race, defiantly predicting that "the world will return to this great American city to run even harder and to cheer even louder for the 118th Boston Marathon. Bet on it."

Somebody just lost $1 billion in the Gold crash

One of America’s best known hedge fund managers John Paulson is thought to have lost as much as $1bn on the sudden collapse of the price of gold.
The fund manager, who famously made billions forecasting the implosion of the US subprime lending market, has had an estimated $973m wiped off the value of his investments in the past few days, according to analysis by Bloomberg.
Mr Paulson has bet heavily on gold arguing that the precious metal is the best hedge against inflation and currency debasement which he says is the obvious result of the money printing policies being pursued by central banks around the world. According to Bloomberg, Mr Paulson had 85pc of his $9.5bn assets invested in gold share classes at the start of the year.
The price of gold plunged 9.3pc on Monday, through the $1,400-an-ounce level, the steepest decline in 30 years. Since August 2011, gold has fallen 20pc in value. Traders reported scenes of panic selling when the price dropped $30 in a matter of minutes.
Analysts said that mounting concerns that gold was overpriced were suddenly fuelled by fears that Cyprus was about to off-load its reserves in a bid to raise desperately needed cash.
On Tuesday the price rose marginally but stabilised at the low levels.
Sources at Paulson said that the hedge fund group had started investing in gold in four years ago when the gold was around $950 an ounce, so the funds are still in profit.
Mr Paulson hit headlines in 2007 with a $4bn payday from profits he made betting on the collapse of US house prices. He reportedly made even more in 2010, paying himself $5bn, after his funds, in which he has invested most of his fortune, delivered strong returns on bets on gold, commodities and a recovery for US banks.
However, recent months have been far tougher for Mr Paulson with reports of heavy losses, even before the drop in price of gold.

Guys, investment losses can be heartbreaking at times. The rule is that if you wanna gain, be prepared to lose.
