This is the information that greeted our ears this morning.

The Federal Government has resumed the payment of subsidy to petroleum products marketers in an apparent move to check the potential disruption in fuel supply in the wake of the impending strike by petroleum products marketers and other stakeholders. Already, payments based on verified claims were made to various marketers last month according the revenue allocation and distribution report issued at the end of the June meeting of the Federation.

This is coming less than six months after this

The Nigerian Government announced on Friday that it has scrapped the Petroleum Support Fund, also known as fuel subsidy. Speaking to journalists at the Port Harcourt refinery where he had spent Christmas inspecting the facility, the Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu, said the government could no longer pay the subsidy due to the fraud tainting the scheme.
He said a new pricing template he signed off on Thursday effectively removed the payment of subsidy on petrol. When pressed on what the new price of petrol would be following the removal of the subsidy, Mr Kachikwu said it would sell for below the current official price, maybe as low as #85 per litre.

It would appear decisions are being made without expert opinions and analyses. Without any major change in the economic status, yet a major decision is reversed.
Do we assume now that the alleged 'fraud' is now non-existent or a more grim reality that Nigeria and her citizens is just being used for experiments at someone's will?

If this parting comment is paradoxical, I don't think I get it. First, you aim a jib at his constant brownian motion. In the same breath, you suggest that he hikes to Panama? How does that portray the firmness of your opinion?

If there's money to be recovered, it will be in the meantime. But till then, we're yet to see the impact or dividends of the much announced recoveries.

I think it really depends on how ignorant they are. And how ignorant their relations are. Honestly, the higher the level of ignorance, the better the chances of marital bliss

It's a beautiful picture honestly. But from a realistic point of view, my partner's picture in public even in this form? Are you kidding me?

Unfair! Very Unfair! Death has no honour! No pride! When you claim the young who have no friendship to offer you, what is your gain but scorn?

While we admire them from our screens, some hold discussions with them whenever they feel like. All fingers are not equal. Not that I give a f**k.

I can remember an information on GloWorld website stating clearly that you can run up to 5 data plans simultaneously on their network. Almost five or six years ago. Immediately I saw this topic, Glo network came to my mind.

I.T.K.
You also made a mistake.
It should be "maybe practicing Nursing would be. .." and not "maybe practice Nursing...."
A$$ H©L£

No man is an island of knowledge. You should have corrected him with decorum. Practice is a noun in British English, thus practicing is non-existent. It should be practising.

Bros, we know the meanings. The origin is the issue here.

That's by the way. One problem with No. 6 is that the use of 'Did' as in a question. Since one isn't sure of the answer, expressing the main verb as 'past tense' doesn't make sense since it appears as if one already has knowledge of what he is asking after. In this case, it becomes a redundant question.

Rapmoney:
When people say someone is 'smarting', does it mean they are talking about the skin? You need to be serious.

You said there's no such verb as smart.

Lol.. I take it you don't read much novels. Smarting is also a verb. It's a reaction of a person or the skin to a sharp pain like a whip.

Must be a very silly prank
