writeprof:We have rebranded rogues without soul as leaders here in SS.. Warri has a seaport right in my backyard. Very minimal economi ic activity goes o there The lazy fools we have as ladiears are not doing anything to make it fully functional. Its just wasting away. |
chiefolododo:Should God punish your leaders will you escape the curse. Not to worry because GOD is just in all his dealings. He protects the innocents. PMB innocence and sincerity are not in doubt. |
Firefire:Agreed, because the sand would have been used to build shelters for hapless, hopeless, and homeless citizens to rest from the elements.Only if you will open your eyes and not be blinded by hate you will see the shelters. I will support him for the fact that he successfully negotiated through the mess left behind by a certain clueless Don Fortunato while at the same time not leaving behind 36 bankrupt entities which he successfully ferried to safety How can I put my trust on someone who depleted our commonwealth from $67b to $28b with nothing to show for it Or you expect me to put my faith on a kleptomaniac who in collaboration with outsiders defraud his country gleefully without an iota of guilt. Mbanu, I never craze. |
Very good initiative. If I were a governor of any of the SS states I will state building already while at the same time filing the necessary papers for permission to build. But will any of them take the initiative. I hope one does. The rice initiative of the FG easily comes to mind. While the Northern states where busy making use of the CBN-backed anchors borrowers program the SS States rather continued mourning the loss of Don Fortunato. Today the difference is very clear. |
Cletus77:How is it Taraba. Is the painting on the tricycle Taraba's or Delta |
There is no cause for alarm ,only newbies can only be fooled by anything fake about you be it audio or visual or both. Your visual identity of puff puff cheek cannot go unnoticed even to the visually impaired and the audio version of "GEJ lacks the will to save" is a trademark that cannot be faked |
The Federal Government may increase the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly called petrol to a minimum price of N180 and above anytime soon. Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu who dropped the hint in Abuja on Thursday, said the current price of N145 per litre can no longer be sustained. In a presentation he made to a joint committee on Petroleum (Downstream) of the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Minister said the landing cost for petrol stood at N171 per litre. According to him, the Federal Government, through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has been bearing the cost of N26 per litre, representing the difference between N171 and the current official price of N145 per litre. Insisting that independent marketers would not be able to import the product at the current foreign exchange rate, saying the marketers were able to sell for N145 per litre when the exchange rate was N285 per Dollar. The Naira presently exchanges for N365 per Dollar. “We now have to go back and find the solution to this problem in order to ease supply gaps and ensure availability of the product at all times,” the Minister said. Kachikwu, however, proffered three alternative solutions to pump price increase: getting the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to introduce a modulated foreign exchange rate specifically for importers of the product; giving the marketers significant tax adjustments to enable them to absorb the high cost; and a plural pricing system whereby the NNPC would continue to sell at N145 through its numerous outlets while the marketers are allowed to fix their own price. The Minister identified causes of the last fuel scarcity to include diversion of products, logistic constraints, bottleneck associated with clearance, bad road network, insufficient product reserves, smuggling through land borders, supply gaps and enforcement challenges. He stated that the marketers stopped importing fuel since October 2017, as a result of their inability to access foreign exchange from the CBN, leaving only the NNPC to import the product, which has left a wide gap between demand and supply. Dr. Kachikwu lamented that the price of petrol rises with the rise in the price of crude oil in the international, stressing that in such instances, Nigeria spends more to import refined products. In effect, any rise in crude oil price increases the amount the country spends on the importation of fuel. To address the situation, the Minister canvassed the opening up of production lines, specifically the refineries, which he said, would address supply gaps that usually leads to incessant scarcity. “Rising prices in international market affecting domestic prices. What the country needs is to have the refineries working. It’s a shame that after 40 years, Nigeria cannot produce its domestic consumption. “It would take 18 months to address problems of scarcity, price stability and other issues relating to the supply of petroleum products. The pipelines should be concessioned to allow private participation. “There is huge infrastructure deficit in the system because the NNPC ought to be distributing products through their pipes but most of the pipes are damaged. The has necessitated the use of trucks to distribute the product across the country. “Most importantly, fixing the refineries should be the lasting solution. To discuss and address the issues, we have to seek approval from the President,” the Minister said. In his own submission at the hearing, the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru said the last scarcity was caused by rumours of price increase in the media that led marketers into hoarding the product in anticipation of higher prices. Said he: “So there was a frenzy in the movement of products to the hinterland and diversion of products going to the hinterland in anticipation of the increase in price. “The NNPC, or the Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Authority (PPPRA) had no mandate to increase pump price.” The GMD said that the strike action embarke : http://thenationonlineng.net/fg-increase-petrol-price-litre/ |
Hector09:Sorry for the loss brother. Whenever I read bad news coming from the ONELGA axis I look back with nostalgia to when I spent a year in that border town between Rivers and IMO state. I ask myself what could have gone wrong |
OP, I doubt this your news . I agree with the poster above me. It is wrong to make wrong claims. It causes.your destiny to recede further from you. |
Really big fool. These are the rougues that held us by the jugular |
Very nauseating from PDP.Playing politics with peoples life. Very Shameful. |
Hmmmmmm I think there is need for a referendum on whether PDP is qualified to be an effective opposition party after 2019, . or be deregistered as a political party. |
temitemi1:Hmmmm .God is really wonderful. So you survived the trauma of 2015. Still you haven't learnt anything from the near death experience. |
Blue3k:Lucky you, come to Delta na. At least you have some projections you are aiming at. Development in Akwa Ibom really exposes the narren mindset of the political leaders in Delta state. |
GavelSlam:That's all the governors do in addition to laundering dollars through their side chicks and wasting their state monthly allocations on other frivolities If you point out the ineptitude of the governors as per governance this same set of people here will defend the governors with their lives but would rather be blaming imaginary oppressors. and slave masters. on occasions when they regain some modicum of sensibility. |
LegitBoy:Guy accept the truth even if it gives you headache.. The guy just told you the truth. The South- South leaders/politicians are the major cause of the region's problems. I don't know your state of origin but Delta state where I am from Ibori took over the local Schlumberger through intimidation today the local company is no more. In the 80's/90s Warri was teeming with whites but today you can hardly see one.They are all gone for fear of being kidnapped. Shell and Chevron had major presence in Warri and Ughelli(for Shell only) in the mould of regional headquarters in the 80s/90s They were the backbone of the local economy which was booming. But due to heighten criminal activities ,Shell completely moved out of Warri. Instead of the governor then(Uduaghan)to engage Shell in dialogue he chose to participate in scrambling for the properties Shell was leaving behind. Same goes for Chevron which left only their medical facility for the families of its staff still in Warri following repeated cases of kidnapping harassment from community youths Funny enough the citizens didn't realise the implications of their actions. Today, apart from these relocation by this oil companies, the oil services companies have all closed shops. Ladies that used to indulge in profitable small scale business are now into sex trade. Today instead of the oil companies being major employers of labour, KEKE NAPEPING now is. |
free2ryhme:Noted, letters too small for vision |
free2ryhme:Re: No Evidence Yet To Sanction Fuel Marketers For Hoarding - Kachikwu The caption of the article says it all- "No evidence yet" It doesn't require A Level English to marry PMB's address and Kachukwu's briefing. |
Let there be light and there was light at 12.25pm. |
Ratello:No.You don't need to but when you keep exhuming corpses, it may appear that your senses have taken flight off you. Moreover, your Chief ally here, Blue3k created a thread on rice yesterday and you were furiously masturbating on it with obtuse arguments. So it os not out of place to find out if you are still in tune with reality. More importantly, why are you averse to progress? |
Ratello:Op, I really pity the kind of life you are living. What you posted is an old news. It has been addressed previously, even on Nairaland https://www.nairaland.com/3991063/local-rice-production-hits-15m#59515797 The error in the figure was duly acknowledged and everyone has moved on except you and Blue3k that chose to be fixated on a corpse like flies. Know the grave is nearby. I hope you know how the story goes |

LegitBoy:He is an anti-party man from day one. |
It is a sure banker on Nairabet that Sani and 2nd return to the Senate is dead even before getting starts. He is a man that have been made mad by his village witches from the word go. |
It is a sure banker on Nairabet that Sani and 2nd return to the Senate is a dead before batching |
SmartyPants:Noted. No victor no vanquish. just in the spirit of exchanging opinions |
SmartyPants:I am surprised you are making yourself defender in chief for Isreal.. It is quiet understandable how you conveniently omitted this part of the article "The UN refugee agency said the controversial plan violated international and Israeli laws." |
Fidelarinze9:Time to upgrade on your knowledge Eritrea Christians 50% Muslim. 48% Others. 2% https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Eritrea |
SmartyPants:Attention of many like you above is so fixated on the money on offer. I guess you won't mind being sterilized in addition as an infiltrator if a few shekels is added to the dollars on offer. Nonsense. |
MRSHYCAT:What is so difficult about the security situation in Omoku that a focused and determined governor cannot fix. Omoku-Obrikon- Egbema axis used to be peaceful before the politicians came and introduced divisive and violent politics for selfish interests. I remember same Wike was shouting from the rooftops in protestation against militarization of Rivers state when the FG contemplated sending security personnel to Rivers to curtail the violence and killings that preceded the governorship rerun election. Many queed behind Wike to vehemently ssk the FG to keep off. The place was relatively peaceful during major part of Amaechi's tenure. How Rivers degenerated into a cesspool of this carnage confounds me. Wike wants to be sure the wjole securing situation is within range of his vision for self preservation.. But how long can he hold on before he is consumed by this spiralling violence. that he and the entire political class initiated |
igbodefender:Innoson alone can pull Nigeria out of recession. Good to hear. It wouldl be better if he performs such miracle at home to the benefit of his people. Your post makes me to remember Arthur Nzerobe back them in the 80's stupefying people that he could solely offset our foreign debt of about $19b. Many political jugunus in the SE fell for it and as such made him a senator on a platter of gold. Thereafter reggae changed to blues. His mistake was his attempt to hoodwink the wider Nigeria with same apu tale. Investigation was later to show that Mzeribe was just a common gum runner for burglars I'n Ghana and was tottering on the brink of bankrupcy |
Emmyg50002:My friend try to accept correction when you make a wrong opinion. We import petroleum products and export crude oil. If we can be exporting beans amidst self sufficiency, why can't we be self sufficient in rice and progress to exporting it. The first ingredient to becoming great is to have the believe that we can be great. Let us jettison this attitude that we cannot make it. |
