Maybe you don't understand what premium price means
When Dangote made the initial claim of premium price, he said oil companies usually refer him to international traders when he wants to buy Nigerian crude. The traders usually add their margin per barrel i think $5 or so.
It is common sense that international traders will not sell crude to anyone in naira so if he's buying in naira, that means he's either buying from NNPC or an oil coy operating in Nigeria who has been mandated by the authorities to sell his products in naira to the local market
So you can see that as long as he's buying in naira, the question of premium pricing cannot arise except he's saying they are selling to him above international rates

+
I mean the currency does not mean its not a premium price if they simply ask for the equivalent or more.

By praying and blowing trumpets

+
1, 000 trumpets to be precise.
But wait, you cant afford to be sarcastic here, after all, the blowing of trumpets was one of the methods your god prescribed for the destruction of an entire innocent city of people, while propagating early genocide through his chosen race . . . . so says your scripture.

Jakumo:
Purely from the standpoint of an impartial observer of religious faiths in general, one cannot help but note how the Religion of Peace indoctrinates cult followers to develop a grandiose sense of entitlement that is ALWAYS justified in the minds of the cult devotees by invoking the Sky Daddy's name.

A sense of entitlement to dictate what women of ANY faith should wear in public.

A sense of entitlement to forcibly impose cult dictates on the general public by force of arms.

A sense of entitlement to dismember or decapitate non-violent petty thieves, as the mood dictates after invoking the Sky Daddy's name.

A sense of entitlement to block major vehicle roads by sitting in a public thoroughfare while purporting to "pray" to the Sky Daddy.

The list goes on, but suffice to say the now disbanded religious morality police of northern Nigeria will take up arms, and invoke Sky Daddy.

+
Its intolerable. I have a particular hatred for that ninja outfit which covers all but the eyes. There is something dark and foreboding about it, and seeing women clad in such prison attire induces a sense of fear and slavery.

PS: They havent banned the Hisbah, its a particular new movement purporting to be some sort of independent Hisbah they banned.

Kukutente23:
That's his claim
He has made that claim severally only to fold when he meets with NUPRC
How is he buying at premium when he's buying it in naira?

+
But aa premium price can be paid in any currency so what are you saying here.

LegendHero:
They worked on a project during that period

Their 2025 FDI is almost 1/4 of that

+
Even at that you would still be talking more than ten times our FDI!

Burob:
U are grossly wrong, If what u are saying is true, the United States would have been like Nigeria.

Because na Christians full there remain, na them give to charity pass in the entire world today.

+
He does not mean that Christians cannot be intelligent in the general arts of life: science, business, etc. Of course they can be and they are as are all other people. He means that one cannot be theologically and philosophically coherent while adhering to such a faith.

He can correct me if I am wrong.

Dogalmighty17:
This upward vacuuming of wealth from those in desperate need to those who are already comfortable is a stain on the church.

+
These words deserve to be written in gold and placed on the highest mountains for all to see.

Dtruthspeaker:
Lie lie!
This is great wickedness.
It will only be over when it comes to reasonable and just landing.

You with your whole heart and soul made this very deathly accusation to which you are saying that you are different.

So it needs be cleared by you answering the question whether you have good and wonderful thoughts and plans for your enemies where you have good and wonderful thoughts and plans for your loved ones?

That is if robbers had stolen your things, raped and killed your loved ones, you would in love invite them to your house for a lunch or dinner or stay over and never report to the police but quietly bury your loved ones and give handkerchief to your raped loved one?

+
Goodnight.

NothingDoMe:
A one-party state (or single-party state) is a political system where one party legally controls the government, banning or severely restricting opposition, centralizing power.

This is the definition of a one-party state.

+
You think he doesn't know? He knows, it's just that hypocrisy is like oxygen to him.

Dtruthspeaker:
No, you cannot do this wicked wickedness and run oo.

You have made a very deathly accusation to which you are saying that you are different.

So clear the air and answer the question whether you have good and wonderful thoughts and plans for your enemies where you have good and wonderful thoughts and plans for your loved ones?

That is if robbers had stolen your things, raped and killed your loved ones, you would in love invite them to your house for a lunch or dinner or stay over and never report to the police but quietly bury your loved ones and give handkerchief to your raped loved one?

+
Forget it man. The topic is over.

Dtruthspeaker:
If you truly believe you are right then why hit below the belt? Did I say "no mind can imagine the torture"?

Secondly, why do you not answer the question I asked whether you have good and wonderful thoughts and plans for your enemies where you have good and wonderful thoughts and plans for your loved ones?

For even Jesus, the same One Whom you cited saying love your enemies, Himself came back with anger and with armies and a Sword against His enemies.

So, you are better than all of us, vengeful people

So, i need to know what is the good to be done

And your answering the question whether you have good and wonderful thoughts and plans for your enemies where you have good and wonderful thoughts and plans for your loved ones?[/b] will lead the way.

So, for instance, if robbers had stolen your things, raped and killed your loved ones, you would in love invite them to your house for a lunch or dinner or stay over and never report to the police but quietly bury your loved ones and give handkerchief to your raped loved one?

Gbagbe e. Moti sare lo
Forget it, I have run away.

Dtruthspeaker:
That, is definitely not what He taught on this point especially as He knew it was Commanded "vengeance is mine. I (God) will repay it".

Which is further confirmed that when He returns, He Comes with a Sword for His enemies.

So, don't run, the question still remains If you truly still believe you are right then come finish the dispute and answer whether you have good and wonderful thoughts and plans for your enemies where you have good and wonderful thoughts and plans for your loved ones?

It seems you have a belief of running away from debates when you see that it has been pointed out that you are wrong. For this is the second time that you are running from me when I counter your argument

+
Its okay. I have run since you have successfully pointed out that I am wrong. Since you have established that your God indeed said no mind can imagine the torture he has in store for those who hate him. Since you are right that Jesus never said pray for your enemies. I have run oh, as the coward that I am, I am happy to run. It is not my work to defend your God afterall.

Dtruthspeaker:
Why are you running and changing post back to your what you said when we were testing whether such an opinion is correct or not, especially as you see that you are wrong to have said so?

If you truly believe you are right then come finish the dispute and answer whether you have good and wonderful thoughts and plans for your enemies where you have good and wonderful thoughts and plans for your loved ones

+
It even misses you that that's what Jesus taught.
Enjoy.

Dtruthspeaker:
First, I did not say torture

Secondly, by wonderful things I believe you mean good things, right?

If so, the answer- question then is, is it wonderful good things that you would plan for your enemies?

+
I have quoted your book for you. If you like, continue to put evil words into the mouth of your own God. It is not my business.

Dtruthspeaker:
Is inference not part of speech?

If you say you are not at home, have you not impliedly also said that you are outside your home?

Or if you say I will give my employees Christmas bonuses, do you not impliedly also say that you are not giving Christmas bonuses to people who do not work for you?

Life is left and right, heaven and earth. You can't say left and not remember right

+
That is completely different. If I say I am inside my house of course that means I am not outside.

But if I say I have planned wonderful things for my loved ones that by no means translates to mean I have planned torture for those I don't like.

Mankind2024:
Why Captain Ibrahim Traoré Is Playing with Fire by Detaining Nigerian Soldiers
Many people underestimate the capabilities of the Nigerian military and what it could mean for the government of Burkina Faso under Captain Ibrahim Traoré.

Don't be misled by Nigeria's ongoing internal security challenges—fighting Fulani herdsmen clashes, kidnappers, bandits, and jihadist insurgents in the North, or separatist agitation in the East involving IPOB and unknown gunmen. These are asymmetric insurgencies, complicated by local sympathies and complex socio-political dynamics that make total eradication difficult without massive collateral impact. No advanced military in the world easily wins such protracted internal wars.

In stark contrast, a direct confrontation with Burkina Faso would be conventional (symmetric) warfare. The Nigerian Armed Forces—Africa's largest by personnel, with superior airpower, logistics, and combat experience—have the overwhelming potential to overrun Burkina Faso's smaller military and, if provoked far enough, enforce regime change in Ouagadougou.

Dismiss any notion that Russia's support for Traoré would deter this. Nigeria could establish theater commands in neighboring countries like Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin, and Togo for a multi-front operation, leveraging regional alliances and superior resources.

This detention risks escalating a diplomatic incident into something far more dangerous. Traoré's supporters—often vocal online pan-Africanists and certain political factions—may cheer the bravado now, but they would have plenty to lament if things spiral out of control.

+
And why have you left out the AES Treaty under which all the three countries will come to the defense of any one of them attacked?

Dtruthspeaker:
There is no twisting. Common natural sense already tells us, if you see the good, then you can see the bad. The Bible even mentions His Right Hand, yet no one remembers to check for His Left Hand

Thus, God has revealedHis Mind (Right Hand) towards those who love Him, so common sense tells us what He has in store towards those who hate Him (the silent not seen and not speaking Left Hand)

+
Oga you claimed he said so. He did not. I have shown you what he said.

It is you that is inferring the opposite by force.

And sadly, because of lack of integrity you can't even admit that you got the quote wrong.

Jakumo:
Brother man, I thank ANYONE who has been instrumental in asking for US drone strikes in Nigeria BEFOERE things degenerate until Nigeria becomes another Sudan where massacres are now daily filmed entertainment events that are routinely posted online by the killers themselves.

+
The sad truth Uncle Jaks is that we are almost there already and one suspects that we still dont even hear many of the atrocities which go on.

Jakumo:
Ha ha now that is justice ! Who no know go know.

+
You would not believe the day I looked out of my bathroom window and saw them flogging a little girl (she could not be more than 8 years old or so) in front of the Church while she rolled and cried on the floor. I went there, and they argued that she was being delivered from possession. I lost it. Story for another day.

Jakumo:
If God can truly read the thoughts of each and every person, and if God can hear any prayer that is offered by any person even in the privacy of their own home, why in God's name is it necessary to join large crowds inside specific buildings devoted to worship of one God or the other?

+
Mass hypnosis and indoctrination for commercial gain. Many dont realize that most churches are business enterprises. They would rather tell you that "where two or three are gathered . . . "

A corollary question that that I also pose relates to why frenzied drumming and loudspeakers are used at horrendous volume by houses of worship to assault the eardrums of everyone nearby, if God is actually capable of hearing whispered prayers, and without the need for megaphones and loudspeakers.

+
This is deeply vexing. Let me leave the obvious security implications of what you have raised and just drop a funny anecdote.

About 14 years ago I lived in Oniru (VI extension), and there was an MFM Church just across my street. They would play music at an insane volume. One day, I got up, drove my car to their entrance, parked it there and let loose heavy Naija Hip Hop on them. I did that because as loud as their speakers were, the car I had was more than capable of drowning out their noise with its sound system. I just left it there and went back into my house. They had to come and beg me, whereupon I delivered a lecture on noise pollution before relenting.

Jakumo:
If a nation as technologically advanced as Germany still has to contend with Islamist Grinch-minded terrorists who hate the celebration of Xmas by Christians to the extent that they commit vehicular murder, then it is equally likely that Xmas day will also be singled out as the moment Islamists might launch slave-raids or perpetrate massacres of Christians for no logical reason.

+
I believe it has happened a number of times before: the specific targeting of Christian days of celebration.

What do you think of the possibility that social media is ultimately destined to lead to the evolution of a hive mind by humanity?

SultanOfPuna:
Women love to receive.

Be it your energy or your money or your gbola
They are naturally built to receive

I noticed that anytime I give a girl money it can be as little as 1k. If I do it like 2 times in a week

Boooooooom..... I noticed their feminity comes out.
The mistake guys make is thinking about quantity instead of quality.

You can give a girl 2 million naira right now
And she will just say thanks
But a guy will just give her attention and chop
Knack wetin no good. It's all about quality not quantity with women.

If you give too much over quantity fails
That's why women with rich husband still go outside to collect one venious amadioha prick

Again quality and not by quantity.

+
With the wrong woman, almost nothing on Earth can satisfy her, quality or quantity.

Jakumo:
Ha ha this woman does have the gaunt look of a camel, now that you mention it. Sadly it is a camel with NO humps on its anatomy.

The desperation of sexually frustrated men leads them to do the unthinkable, so the only surprise in this news story is that there are so MANY men that are desperate enough not only to mount anything that moves, but also to be filmed in the process haha.

+
The perversity of mankind is beyond comprehension and we insult the animal by calling it beastly, when no other creature is as beastly as we are.

Jakumo:
She really does have the appearance of a bony old witch. There is NOTHING sexually attractive about this old crone. Nothing at all.

+
My dear friend I have warned you before that men dey wey dey fantasize about camels.

Dtruthspeaker:
Thought you don't care about lake of fire, so why are you deflecting?

Further, look at the uncountable ways you guys have created to extinguish a person, is it now Him?

He even Said it, no mind can conceive what He has in store for those He hates

+
Can you see just how your own hatred has caused you to put hateful evil words into the mouth of your own God? God doesn't say this in the Bible. He actually says the opposite.

The verse you are thinking of is 1 Corinthians 2:9, it talks about the beautiful things God has prepared are for those who love him, not those who hate him.

"However, as it is written: 'What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived'—the things God has prepared for those who love him." — 1 Corinthians 2:9

This is taken from Isaiah 64:4 which says - "Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him."

So can you see yasef? How did you now twist the words of God into such evil hatred?

Double post.

toygod2:
He does not derive pleasure in you perishing.

However, if you continue in your sinful ways , you are leaving him with no option , than to burn you.

Or make e leave you in that way and you continue misleading others? Hell No , 🔥 you make everywhere resss. Lol

+
And eternal burning is the only way he can eliminate you right?
