it's all relative, considering most Nigerian hate,envy each other it not very surprising everyone thinks some one wants to kill them (who wants to poison a jobless lay about anyway?)
These sort of people even in monogamous home thinks their sister in law, brother in law or their co-workers wants to poison them, in fact these set of people are more likely to visit the pastor/imam, baba dibia to 'kill their enemy'


I wonder if anorld Schwarzenegger's maid was trying to kill the real madam when they were getting their grove on

Some people are actually in polygamous relationship without know it, their hard working husbanding is always eager to go for holidays in Nigeria and send home some nice kits for 'that' his sister

I have seen some 'happy' polygamous homes.

to as a matter of national priority carry out a comprehensive rehabilitation of the three refineries within the next 24 months.

These damn refineries are in constant state of rehabilitation or the contracts are going for the boys

The presidential directive which is now to form the Federal Government’s 24 months target for the major rehabilitation of the three public enterprises, the first of its kind since the construction of the refineries, is to ensure maximum efficiency and installed capacity utilisation, when completed.

Lies

According to Vanguard findings, when completed, the Federal Government is expected to save annual revenue of about N1.3 trillion currently spent on petroleum products importation and the associated subsidy, which has become a major cesspool for oil cartels in the country.

more lies, the total capacity isn't still enough to meet national demand

congrats!##

America is just weird go to Law School, then go to Medical School ??

the national league is the next one to the premier league right?

i'll search for his name, i wonder why those pot bellies are not update the website

Jonathan and the 40 Cabals . . . .

There are, therefore, two ways for the government to lower the cost of acquiring this scare commodity: government can equally subsidise imported Jet A1 like, it does for petrol. The second option is to initiate the production of Jet A1. In my opinion, it is easier to do the first and graduate into the second, which holds a more lasting solution.

If neither of the above is acceptable to the authorities, the easiest way to alleviate the financial burden of the airlines is to completely deregulate the market for each carrier to charge any fare of their choice.

who is this dude? Easier to spend our foreign reserve subsiding a product that isn't necessarily serving the majority which will most likely end in the pocket of the another cabal knowing how inefficient the system is

Does the current refinery require extra technology to produce A1? I thought these are by-products of crude oil, with all the Turn Around Maintenance of the Refineries when will they ever function at above average capacity?

If the airlines charge anyhow i will invest in ABC transport sharpish!

Any news about the lower league, seems all the NC clubs are going down, the jos clubs are still not settled and Crown is jostling with Zamfara

Lets know the clubs coming up, wey insurance dey?
How are the Lagos clubs doing?

but sharks are not in trouble, they are about 5-6 in the league so its not like dolphin should be doing them a favour n they are far from african champions league spot, anyway if sunshine could put their boots in they will overtake Dolphin with a point difference


I think they are lazily going for the astroturf so it maintains the green look and they will probably mismanage a proper natural green grass field
it's just admitting they are incompetent really, i hate seeing those astroturfs with plastic pellets bouncing with the ball; looks very dirty

me i still waiting for the bloody DVD madam dora promised at the Niaja@50 shebang!

What a waste!


Why cant they get part of the 4000mw directed at Abuja for the 30mins party,
why cant he just do it in his office even
why cant they just allow private companies sponsor events and pay for them
what happened to normal military uniforms or the one that was used ofr the naija at 50?

namdo:
if u guys understood the level of indiscipline and lack of respect for rules and laws in naija, you would not be blaming GEJ for his current order in this issue. call home and be informed.

who told you they are not home, do you have to be physically present in russia to know they are racist in russia? or you have to be in Aba to know how dirty it is?

'summer'

I honestly think, sometimes, the moderators SHOULD actually 'define' the course of discussion in some threads in the political section

_{^^ who do we have here? where in the world have you been, aint seen your post for a long while}


Going by what the Iweta man said, it seems Jonathan and his team selfishly allowed the cement importer/manufacturer run their smaller competitors out especially the importers in return for hefty contributions to his campaign funds. godfearing humble man indeed! putrid air!

http://tribune.com.ng/sun/index.php/front-page-articles/3967-cement-shouldt-cost-more-than-n700-manufacturer-exposes-cabal-behind-price-hike

A cement manufacturer who is also the chairman, Cement New Entrants Forum, Prince David Iweta, disclosed this to Sunday
Tribune at the weekend, while speaking about the growing concern among the masses over their inability to buy the commodity.

Iweta disclosed that a particular cabal had, last year, hoodwinked the Federal Government into increasing the duty and levy on imported bulk cement from five to 15 per cent and introducing a certain Cement Technology Levy (CTL) of 20 per cent, adding that this caused the total levy on imported bulk cement to 35 per cent.

He said unknown to the Federal Government, the target of this cabal, members of which are major players in the cement industry as well as local manufacturers, was up the price of imported cement and surreptitiously increase that of locally-produced ones too so as to swindle unsuspecting consumers.

“I warned on this outcome when the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, recommended to the President to approve an upward review of duty on imported bulk cement from five per cent to 15 per cent and further introduce Cement Technology Levy (CTL) of 20 per cent; this made the duty and levy to go up to 35 per cent.

“This happened late last year and the effect came up this year. This is supposed to affect imported bulk cement only and not locally manufactured cement. The game plan by the cabal was to enable them to cash in on the increase on imported cement to hike the price of their locally-manufactured cement; to equate it to the cost of imported cement at N1, 700 at the factory gates of local cement manufacturers. “This would also enable them to make abnormal profit to enable them to pay off their bank loans within two to three years as against long-term repayment of capital project funds of 10 to 15 years,” he said.

Sleeping Johnie? ?

Embele:
It also could do with the fact we play games in the afternoon in the tropics.

good point, i think they should consider 5.45pm or install original floodlight and provide adequate security
I wonder how the UAE and other tropical countries arrange their also considering praying times 7pm and 8pm


Gombe state has also done that stupid thing of building a brand new stadium with athletic track, who in Gombe does athletics?
the stands are far away from the field, these people just copy whatever the contractor gives them so dumb!

nothing better to do?

isnt religion meant to be a private thing, why do politicians and some stay at home wife force it down people's throat
she should be talking about what she has been doing with the position!

houvest:
@ Kokogee. If she was complicit to fraud, why is the court on her side? Till the appeal sets this judhement aside, I am afraid you might be accusing an innocent person falsely. If not bring your proofs else I will not say stfu but rather forever hold your peace. Lol.

This case was not about FRAUD but about the PROCESS she was removed

Konadub:
I'm AA, but I'll be there this summer. I'll subscribe to this thread so I can remember. [b]How far is London from Birmingham ? [/b]

snowdrops:
brum is the heartbeat of the country and easily assessible from most parts ie 2 hours from london, manchester, liverpool, wales, etc.

She ain't smelling that money, If the other woman is thorough enough the judge sef will bill Madam Ndi N5billion, that place was ran like a casino- she bamboozled them with her Yankee paper and tells anyone who cares to listen she's got a PhD, all these talks about Amazon; colossal shiorrrrrrrrrr you na just dey hear that word??

You think all the people that invested their money were less hard working?


why do people blame Dangote for everything?

As President Goodluck Jonathan winds down the present administration, the various ongoing power projects in the country under the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPPs) will deliver only 843 megawatts (mw) of electricity by the end of May 2011, out of the 1,266 megawatts envisaged under the Power Sector Roadmap which he launched on August 26, 2010.

May 22 2011

Anyone keeping track?

^^ you know lol


meteoric rise? he joined the company as a fresh grad?

Massive congrats to him, i was actually trying to figure out why most CEO/MDs (of multinational firms) in Nigeria are foreigners upon all our Phd, weekend Harvard courses

30 goals? They'd start scoring 30 goals when they start paying them a salary that is comensurate with a 30 goal performance.

I dont think it's about the pay alone, think about it most teams still struggle to score away from home, it's the style of football they play some teams are extremely negative away some even deliberately play for a draw- they are not attack minded and the referees or maybe the coach is to blame.
it's a bit like the super eagles after leading for example 2-0 they start passing the ball around even with 20-30 minutes to play instead pf trying to get more goals

honeric01:
^^^

  But wait o, how many GK dey play PK for our league? all the highlights i watched, i am yet to see any GK play PK. I just think our local strikers aren't that good with exception to few names, that's why it's easy to spot just one good striker from the whole of the league

be like say rain don they affect you lol, it's just an example, they get someone that has never scored before to take the penalty or freekick, instead of have a specialist so his goal number goes up- look at Frank Lampard and Rooney

3/4 of these companies

Obiagu1:
The masses hate to see ACN on the ground in the SE/SS but our greedy politicians will try to bring it here.
It's a virus that needs to be checked. Violence and thuggery seems to be embedded in the party.

the only people that hate to see other parties winning an election in their neighbourhood are the political thugs!
The masses voted for Ngige or the majority of them and they voted for this particular member in their constituency

Violence and thuggery as shown in the Imo election were perpetuated by ACN members uh?
or those in Bayelsa were amongst their members?

Johndoe100:
He is correct, what is ACN doing in our zone? They have Lagos which they treat as their personal property, why should we allow them in our zone? They are a virus. Most of the posters on this thread are not from the area and can't understand why "the natives" don't want to be colonized.

See, rascals, Virus and the list is growing. . .

“You need a lot of patience,” says Peter Kieran, president and chief executive officer of CPCS. “We almost always get paid, but it’s often several years later. It’s not something a Canadian bank would easily understand.”

This is Africa

This has been highly controversial in places such as Mombasa, the biggest Kenyan port, where hundreds of dock workers have clashed with police in protests against the privatization this year. In Lagos, the transit project (and an accompanying expressway) has required the relocation of thousands of impoverished residents.

But the transit project could make a huge difference to the lives of ordinary Nigerians. The traffic chaos in Lagos is legendary. Commuters routinely wake up at 5 am for three-hour journeys to work, often using a series of different danfos – also known as “flying coffins” – the rickety mini-buses that are notoriously unsafe and reckless. People swap stories of six-hour traffic jams where motorists abandon their vehicles to drink tea at nearby shops.

The Lagos transport authority says the new transit system will be the “elixir” to solve this congestion. It estimates that 1.6 million passengers will ride daily on the first two transit lines when they are completed. The trains will travel at speeds up to 100 kilometres an hour, running at five-minute intervals at peak hours.

tea?? beer more like!

sley4life:
GEJ is delivering. Now those scu&ms that av been speaking sh!ts will swallow der tongue. Keep up d gud work Mr President

na mouth them dey take deliver? wetin be the current capacity June don reach

I think the guy is brilliant, but some of those shots are so ridiculous i refuse to believe!! I'll only believe if he can teach me

I see what you mean about shipping, its gona add price!! dam add the cost of shipping and it cost alot more! can't you buy locally?

yea i'm looking to buy locally but getting an idea of the price is quite difficult as you can tell from this thread, perhaps i'll get the price straight from a carpenter though chances of getting a skilled carpenter is slimmmmmmmm. Those in the shops are massively overpriced


The uksimpson one looks good, i prefer the green ones personally the blue cloth always reminds me of the one in our staff room

Barka Juma'ah

Alhamdullilah for seeing today and for my entire life
