Politics / Obasanjo Hates Tinubu Because He Broke His Record- Gboka Ebiri by Demzlent(m): 9:54am On Jan 05 |
An X user by the name Gbonka Ebiri wrote the following on his handle: Ebora Owu will go to the grave a broken man. All his life, he fought hard to make sure no Yoruba man ever equaled him with regards elder statesmanship on Nigeria affairs. He believed having ruled Nigeria, he surpassed any other Yoruba man politically. This is why he never supported a Yoruba man since he rose to limelight in the 70’s. 1979, he blocked Awolowo’s chances of ruling Nigeria by making a decree that changed the constitution. No one won the absolute majority of 12 2/3 votes and there was to be a rerun election between Awolowo and Shagari. With Awo’s inroads into the middle belt and North East at the time, he feared he could win. He made a decree that cancelled the rerun elections and handed over to shagari Years after, he bragged that what the sage aspired for all his life, he got it twice without sweat. When MKO Abiola topped the June 12 elections, he got upset and claimed ‘ MKO is not the expected messiah’ was part of the people who supported Babangida not to hand over to MKO and suggested a caretaker government of ex generals including him for transition. Babangida rejected the offer and handpicked Shonekan. He destroyed the surviving political base of of the sage after the 1999 elections and in the midst of the turmoil, Chief Bola Ige the most senior member of Awo’s political bloc died under mysterious circumstances. The last man standing that he could not bring down at the time was Tinubu. Last election, Seeing Tinubu topping the poles, he got really upset. Called press meetings and tried to do anything in his power to block yet again another Yoruba man’s chances. 2023 was his reality. another Yoruba man ruled the country. Everyday counting down to his last must be filled with so much bitterness. Ebora Owu, God pass you. https://twitter.com/EbiriGbonka/status/1743023364157981165?t=Wm_MVeBZpLLWfHoU_24u3g&s=08 7 Likes 3 Shares

Politics / NNPCL, Marketers Clash Over Subsidy, Operators Peg Petrol At N1,200/litre by Demzlent(m): 10:39am On Jan 03 |
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and fuel marketers under the aegis of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, on Tuesday, clashed again over the removal of subsidy on petrol. This came against the backdrop of the depreciation of the naira against the United States dollar at both the official Investors & Exporters Window and the parallel market. On Tuesday, the local currency closed at 998/dollar at the official market, while it traded at 1,225/dollar at the black market. On the back of the falling naira rate, economists and oil marketers said PMS subsidy was increasing in recent times, but the NNPC quickly countered these positions and declared that it was recovering its full cost on the importation of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, countering the positions of The Chief Executive Officer, Financial Derivatives Company, Bismarck Rewane, had during a live television programme on ChannelsTV on Sunday, explained that fuel subsidy was not removed but reduced. Similarly, oil marketers told our correspondent on Tuesday that subsidy on petrol was increasing considering the crash of the naira against the United States dollar and the cost of crude oil, stressing that PMS should sell for N1,200/litre in a free market. Petrol, which is solely imported into Nigeria by the NNPCL, currently sells for between N617/litre to N660/litre, depending on the location of purchase in Nigeria. Also speaking on the matter, the Chief Executive Officer, Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise, Dr Muda Yusuf, said there was partial subsidy on petrol, but noted that the commodity was subsidised by the government for political, social and economic reasons. Full cost recovery But when contacted, the Chief Corporate Communications Officer, NNPCL, Olufemi Soneye, described the positions of economists and marketers as assumptions, and insisted that the Federal Government had stopped subsidy on petrol. President Bola Tinubu had during his inaugural speech on May 29, 2023, declared that subsidy on petrol was gone, a declaration that was effectively implemented the next day by NNPCL. Before Tinubu’s declaration, the pump price of petrol was below N190/litre, but it jumped to over N500/litre after the President’s statement, and moved up again to over N600/litre a few weeks later. Asked to state if the NNPCL, being Nigeria’s sole importer of petrol, subsidising the commodity as posited by dealers and experts, the oil firm’s CCCO replied, “We prioritise our time on substantive matters rather than responding to assumptions. “At NNPC Ltd, we prioritise national development through energy security and sustainable growth. We reiterate that the Nigerian government does not pay subsidy on fuel; we recover full costs from our imported products. “As a global energy company, our focus remains on fostering a vibrant and energy-secure Nigeria.” ‘Subsidy reduced’ Rewane had earlier explained that subsidy on petrol was reduced and not removed, while featuring on a live television programme on Sunday evening, as he further highlighted the effects of the reduction in fuel subsidy and how it was affecting salary earners in Nigeria. He said, “At the inauguration, it was said that (fuel) subsidy was gone but subsidy was actually reduced.” Buttressing his position, he explained, “There is the convergence of exchange rates and reducing the windows into one. The consequence of that is that money has been transferred from consumers to the government. “Subsidies are reversed taxes; if you reduce them, you increase the people’s taxes and reduce their income. What has happened is that government revenue has increased by 44 per cent between May and June (2023). Money has been transferred to the government but what is the government doing with it? “The consumers, on the other hand, had a minimum wage, which in dollar terms was $40 in 2002. In 2019, it was about $70, but it has now been reduced to $24.” Marketers project N1,200/litre The National Public Relations Officer, Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Chief Ukadike Chinedu, stated that subsidy on petrol was rising and that the cost of the commodity should be around N1,200/litre in a free market. “To be pragmatic in this analysis let’s consider the cost of petrol today in the United States. For premium petrol, it is $2.99, while super petrol sells for $3.15 or $3.10 depending on the part of that country where you are making the purchase. “Now, $3 in Nigeria is over N3,000, because a dollar in the parallel market is over N1,000. You can also see the cost of diesel, that is over N1,000/litre, and it is important to state that petrol is usually higher in price than diesel in a free market. “So if you consider the cost of diesel, dollar and other international factors, the price of petrol in Nigeria should be around N1,200/litre, but the government is subsidising it, which to an extent is understandable,” he stated. Ukadike noted that he had earlier explained that the government was implementing quasi-subsidy, and by this it means that “the Federal Government, instead of taking out the subsidy by 100 per cent, decides to take out about 50 per cent.” The IPMAN official, however, expressed optimism again that the cost of refined petroleum products would reduce as soon as the Port Harcourt and Dangote refineries start producing the commodities. “I also believe that there will be a reduction in the prices of petroleum products this year when you consider what the government is currently doing. The coming onboard of the Port Harcourt refinery and the supply of crude to Dangote refinery are good developments in the sector. “Their operations will help stabilise the price of PMS and other petroleum products in Nigeria, because it will definitely cut down the importation of products,” Ukadike stated.

Courz: These are their beliefs; God Jehovah's Witnesses believe that: God the Father (whose name is Jehovah) is "the only true God". Jesus Christ is his firstborn son, is inferior to God, and was created by God. The Holy Spirit is not a person; it is God's active force. The Jehovah's Witness beliefs about God are outlined in detail below. God (the Father): God is a single being whose personal name is Jehovah they also accept the name Yahweh and other transliterations Jehovah is alone, and above all other beings Jehovah created everything that exists Jehovah has a son called Jesus Christ Jesus is not God Jesus is not equal to God Jesus was God's first creation Jehovah then created everything else through Jesus Christ Jehovah's outstanding qualities are love, justice, wisdom, and power. Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is a mighty being, but he is not God Jesus Christ is a lesser and separate spirit being Jesus Christ is not equal to God in power or eternity (i.e. age) Jesus Christ never thought of himself as God or equal to God Jesus Christ is the son of God Jesus Christ was created by Jehovah as his first creation So Jesus had a beginning and thus cannot not be eternal Jesus Christ is inferior to Jehovah, but superior to the angels Jesus Christ rules as part of God's heavenly kingdom Jesus Christ is the Messiah predicted in the Old Testament Jesus Christ came to earth from heaven When Jesus was on earth he was a perfect human being, but he was not divine in any way Jesus Christ gave his human life as a sacrifice to make human salvation possible Witnesses believe that Jesus did not die on a cross but on a single pole or stake Witnesses believe that Jesus had a spirit resurrection, not a bodily one Jesus Christ has been appointed by God to judge each human being and decide on their fate Jesus Christ will be used by God to resurrect the dead The Holy Spirit: The holy spirit is Jehovah's active force that he uses to accomplish his will The holy spirit is not a person The holy spirit is not part of a Trinity The Trinity: The traditional Christian idea that God is a 'Trinity' of Father, Son and Holy Spirit is false and based on pagan ideas The doctrine of the Trinity is inconsistent with the Bible The doctrine of the Trinity contradicts what the prophets, Jesus, the apostles, and the early Christians believed and taught https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/witnesses/beliefs/beliefs.shtml 1 Like |

Nairaland / General / Pastor Chris Shares Vision He Got From Holy Spirit About Three Presidential Cand by Demzlent(m): 5:58pm On Feb 18, 2023 |
Pastor Chris shares vision he got from Holy Spirit about three presidential candidates Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, President of LoveWorld Incorporated has shared the vision he got from the Holy Spirit about three presidential candidates as the 2023 election draws near. At a recent ministration, the cleric said the Spirit addressed one of the candidates as a “Jackal”. Oyakhilome stated that when he examined the dictionary for the meaning of “jackal”, he noticed it meant a “trickster, swindler, one that acts on behalf of another for the purpose of deceit”. In his words; “THE FIRST CANDIDATE He is not himself. He is under the influence of a devil. This devil was mocking and laughing, scoffing at Nigerians. The devil is using him. Its a wicked spirit of darkness, a mocker. The devil’s name is jackal. A jackal is a trickster, a swindler who usually operates on behalf of another for the purpose of deception. This demon is mocking Nigeria. But he’s been cut off. THE SECOND CANDIDATE In the spirit, the second candidate, if you let him get into office, you will have no country. You would have sold your country. THE THIRD CANDIDATE Then in the spirit, the 3rd candidate was afraid of winning. He didn’t want to lose but he was afraid of winning. Then I prayed, Lord give him wings to fly! HIS NAME IS IN THE BIBLE!!” https://www.yabaleftonline.ng/pastor-chris-shares-vision-he-got-from-holy-spirit-about-three-presidential-candidates/
