I love biblical quotes, devoid of its myths and exaggerations, it's a treasure throve of literary artistry.

Very well said. It is indeed, second to none.

Let me share with you how the Book of Dueteronomy describes a heart attack.

It calls it "astonishment of the heart."

Isnt that quaint?

wirinet:
Obviously, he is not a stupid businessman. Dangote is one person I admire and respect a lot, he is a patriotic Nigerians and takes huge business risks. Its just that in this refinery business, he miscalculated. He believed he will alway get government backing and patronage, not realising that a king might come to power that does not know Joseph.

A king who does not know Joseph! Indeed!

It seems you have been quoting the bible more frequently of recent. I also saw you tell someone that flesh and bllod did not reveal the non-profitability of refineries to him.

Have you been on the road to Damsacus recently and did someone accost you on the way?

wirinet:
Flesh and blood did not reveal thus secret to you but the holy spirit. Refinery business around the world is not a profitable business, unless of course you secure a source of cheap crude, either by stealing or other underhand tactics.
Why dangote decided to pump in billion of dollars into the refinery business instead of other more profitable and less volatile business is a mystery to me.

He is not a stupid businessman, this we know. So he must know what we do not know.

Quelme:
Tinubu will get it right. He is on the right track!!!

You are as a lamb being led to the slaughter bleating the praises of its slaughterer.

naptu2, i would be interested in your view of the performsnce of the Tinubu administration thus far,

Wickedfact:
Before you commend Burkina Faso, go to the country. If you can't, visit Burkinabe pages on social media and get reactions from citizens.

The youth corper who is their President is being derided daily. Nothing is working there apart from the photographers snapping the President.

Since the US withdrew, the Islamist militants have taken a greater part of Burkina Faso. Even Russians are being killed there. Just 2 weeks ago, soldiers abdicated from their responsibility and it was civilians digging trenches.

The fugitive called Yahya Bello is far far better than the Burkina Faso President. At least, under Yahya Bello, kidnappers saw shege in Kogi.

Burkina Faso has always been an extremely poor and struggling country. That hasnt changed. This is not to say that they have suddenly started prospering no. It is simply noting the fact that they have been able to stick up their middle finger at Ecowas and the imperialist west. France in particular.

Namaster:
So fucking PRESIDENTIAL!

Tinubu CANNOT even manage to look half as presidential as Osibanjo.

Tinubu is always looking SHIFTY with his pictures that look like something that was taken by ITEL.

BAT reminds one of Baron Silas GreeNback.

NoahHadNoArk:
Why sending money to an absolute stranger to travel miles to come see you, in dangerous times like these


You be serial killer ?!?😒

Dear ladies, Collect their money and better your lives with them or give to the less privileged.
Since these Hot Toads have refused to learn, keep fleecing them.

Until they meet the mad man that will trace them with fatal consequences. Better dont advise anyone to fleece anyone. You are not visiting, dont collect, simple.

Eriokanmi:
Just multiply this 87 naira per liter by 10. That's the current official price in many places. This simply means, the apc came and reversed the Nigeria's living standard by 10% backward

That's 900 per cent backward.

Racoon:
Another corruption rhetorics and grammatical bunkum to deceive the gullible zombies.

Can you believe that barely a month after the protests, there is a hike in the prices of PMS?
As in, its surreal.

PureFace1:
Lagos ports can't be beat because it is power by South West economy

This is cringeworthy. The Lagos port is the main port of Nigeria and it flourishes for that reason. It is not powered by "the south-west economy" - neither is it powered by Igbos. It is powered by Nigeria.

CyrusVI:


Onne is fully functional

A port thats viable enough to be used to smuggle arms into the country, then it can be used to move in pharmaceutical products and those your socalled heavy containers

You get the memo,right?


No excuses. Onne is closer to you than the Lagos port

You guys really need to stop this bigotry. Honestly.
When you say "closer to them" does it occur to you that Lag remains the economic nerve centre of this country and thus the destination of most of the imported goods in the first place?

But beyond that, just remove this thing from your minds abeg, its sickening for many of us to hear and watch every day. Yoruba this Igbo that. Grow up please. See beyond your nose.

MamaletASO:
I have a tenant like this...
The lady is as flat as a slate.. No flesh, no shape.. she just tall...

Since they have moved in them No get job..they are always at home... So they have enough energy..

Whenever they start..you will think it's blue film with LOUD Speaker...

Very Loud lady...and with cool face as if she sabi nothing...

Pusszzy and priccckkckkk nah something else

Flat thin bland shapeless women shout a lot on the battle field.

CyrusVI:


Ordinary to populate (make babies), people go still make noise

For the Landlord to have consider doing this, the complains must have been much, tolerance level exceeded and the Noise must have been deafening

Na gymnastics and yoga dem dey do with women inside their rooms?

I can swear it is targetted at one single constant offender.

Doylestown92:
(Scoffs).

Raise you your hands and close your eyes.
Repeat after me: I will not write such infantile rubbish again.

Say it 178 times.

Doylestown92:
Yeah it's typical of persons like you, whenever you're faced with the truth. "Rubbish" duh!

I said you wrote rubbish, kneel down and accept.

Doylestown92:
Those countries in Europe and the other one, Canada which you mentioned are not dictatorships, because of the US. Canada sits right above the US, and everything about it is American, except the fact that it answers to the British Monarchy.
Now, Germany was once under a dictatorship, even after Hitler was defeated. It was US president Ronald Reagan who went to Berlin, at the Brandenburg Gate, where Germany was divided, and called for the reunification of Germany under a democracy.
Would you also care to know that most of the countries in Europe are under NATO, so how is ever possible for a dictator to take over?
You underestimate the power of the US.
Quick reminder: Russia is a dictatorship, yes they have no gun rights that's why it happened.

Rubbish.

jaxxy:
America is smart enough to solve its gun control policies. They need to take these discussions seriously and arrive at a better resolution for public safety.

It will not happen until the day there is a mass shooting in a gathering where the children of a significant cross section of the country's political elite are killed in significant numbers.

MEEVEET:
Most people don't understand why USA allow their citizens to hold guns

1) so that no leader can ever be a dictator

This was only relevant back in the day when the amendment was passed. It is no longer what stops dictatorship. Other advanced democracies such as those in Europe are under no threat of dictatorship and yet they do not keep this inane gun policy.

2) there would never be a military coup in American

Where is the military coup in Europe or Canada?

3) America can never be conquered... Even if you defeat the army there are 300 million army to fight

This is meaningless. Not only is it almost impossible to conquer the USA by virtue of its location, not to speak of it military prowess, the simple truth is that if indeed it was ever conquered, in the modern age, a gun behind every door will be meaningless in light of the technology which will be available to any power capable of having invaded and subdued it.

The truth is there is no excuse for the refusal to permit sensible gun control other than primitive sentiments. No one says guns should be banned, only sensible gun control is asked for. A person has to show a good credit record to get a loan for heaven's sake, why should a person not be of sound mind and character to apply for a gun?

I cant believe it. Just a few weeks after. Another petrol price hike. Unbelievable. After that protest, only in Nigeria. We are finished.

nairalanda1:
And you were caught in a chair with a goat , a cow and a hen last week. When questioned about it, you muttered something about it being 'nirvana' or something.

Too bad the media hasn't gotten their hands on the story.

Mark my words, you will die of poverty.

lexy2014:
who is preventing fuel from being sold at market price?

what is the market price?

You had better ignore that sick man. He is liable to mention you hundreds of times before you wake up every morning in a bid to annoy you. He is a demented espacee of Yaba Left. A certified psycho.

nairalanda1:
There is one solution to the fuel crisis


ALLOW FUEL TO BE SOLD AT MARKET PRICE

Then ye shall see no scarcity, and fuel will flow freely

Yes, I know, APC Is evil, and yes, I am a bad person who does not understand economics, and nigbati tinubu, buhari.....but the truth has been since the 1980's...that removing subsidy totally and allowing fuel to be sold ...right now at N1500 per liter...is the way forward.




You can abuse me all day long, but no matter how many tantrums you throw...it still does not change the fact that things have to be sold at a profit. ...and that APC's ignoring of that basic economic fact is why we are here.

SO, keep abusing...it shows you as immature children, not mature adults.

You are an accursed murderer and all the hardship that you wish upon poor and suffering Nigerians will be multiplied a thousandfold and visited upon you.

This president is a curse. A curse that Nigeria needs to rid itself of, otherwise it will decimate Nigeria. The handwriting is on the wall already. You had a protest about hardship - he did not accede to even a fraction of any request by the people. So far from acceede to anything, barely a month after the protests, steps are being taken to effect a further hike in the prices of PMS.

That level of insensitivity is not ordinary. It is demonic. There is something truly dark and otherworldly about the rapacious intent of this president. We must arise and resist this president before he sucks our blood and the blood of our children dry.

Enslaved nation. Powerless people.

Are these people so daft or so tone deaf or what? A protest on hardship barely ended.
And you think its the right to time voice your proposed tax hikes.

What is most staggering and gobsmacking about this is the fact that its happeneing after the protest.
In case anyone cant see what is happening clearly, let me spell it out: after the protest on hardship, the sum of what is happening is that the government is increasing the prices of petrol again. As in, immediately after.

SmartPolician:
At least read the article before replying someone. This article has nothing to do with petrol scarcity; it's about setting a new price for pms.

Oh I did read the article. I was responding to you, not to the article. You were talking about the smuggling.
Probably in response to the article, in which raising the price of PMS was referred to as a solution to smuggling.

It is no accident that the Minister is saying this at this time, in the midst of this biting PMS scarcity.
All of these are allussions and insinuations that smuggling is part of the problem that leads us here.

It is just a side symptom my brother.
Official corruption is the A - Z of this matter.

SmartPolician:
At this point, I cannot even blame the government. Nigerians of all tribes are bloody opportunists and dubious people.

Your government is subsidizing petroleum products and you are selling it to your neighbours at the expense of your country and still claim to love the country. I have never seen a people as terrible as Nigerians.

Think. Think deeper. Did smuggling start today. There has always been smuggling. Anyone who tells you that the fuel scarcity is because of smuggling is pulling the wool over your eyes.

The scarcity is on account of official corruption in high places, within NNPC to be precise.

StraightGaay:
His Administration was and still is the height of cluelessness, Buhari is clueless

This administration is worse - which is a miracle. Because no one thought it was possible to be worse than Buhari.
