I never said anything about not being an ashewo.

You're insinuating it's only gay guys and ashewo that are HIV carrier.

WOW! Ashewo girls sleep with themselves, right?

Straight guys are devoid of HIV? Smh

The first sentence alone.......
OK madam no vex. How market today?

He's running back and forth like a chicken with his head cut off. I hope he doesn't collapse today, or give himself a stroke. I can practically hear the drops of saliva hitting his phone screen (sorry, keyboard...).

Lol. wicked.

MrsStockfish:
Your giirl friend is what?

Fool swerve pls!

Well that's what it says on ur profile. If its not true then change it.

Op's profile says she's in Ashi town, meaning she's an ash***** that wants to screw a gay guy. Two potential carriers of HIV wanting to screw themselves. As long as they keep their disease within themselves, who are we to complain.

Hmmm. Apples and oranges

MissMeiya:
It makes some people feel better when they have someone to blame. Then they don't have to feel bad. Or do anything.

stcool:
So that is why you are exiting.....why did you buy in the first place. So pls show me another safer haven atm

When the price enters 4 or 5 I'll consider rejoining.

Smh. With all the hype around diamond last week its doing 6.0 now. Thank God I exited at a profit last week.

jpphilips:
It depends on what you are looking at, America gave a secret grant/concession for the next six months to Saudi to keep supply the way it is, ordinarily, as America's shale production floods the market, OPEC's response would be a production cut to push up prices, now, OPEC's hands are tied because Saudi has refused to cut production, driving excess supply.
With the concession they got from America, Saudi has absolutely nothing to loose.

Here is valdimir suvanov's opinion on the situation




Hope you get the clearer picture now?

Thank God the article said conspiracy theories. Everybody is so ready to believe there is a hidden plot somewhere while ignoring the fact that Saudi Arabia may simply be trying to guaranty its leadership in the oil market. Me I don't believe in any hidden plot or conspiracy. Its clear and open if you really want to understand.

warrior01:
Pls, try and educate yourself on the current happenings and the oil politics being played by Saudi Arabia and America. Currently, the Saudis are even ready to sell at $50pb. Now, include the ISIS factor and their earlier arm suppliers (western nations) all in the bid to bring the economies of Russia and Iran. Bro, pls brace up for the economic war

OK look at this. If oil sells at 50 dpb, the US can't produce shale oil again and will be forced to resume imports from global suppliers that produce at a lower cost, mostly OPEC member countries. Wouldn't it be fair to say that Saudi Arabia, acting alone, is crashing oil prices to reduce US production and guaranty the supply market for fellow OPEC member countries like Nigeria? If OPEC countries reduce production to increase prices they will be shooting themselves in foot because there is a global lull in demand as the global economy is lagging. Prices may not increase significantly and admist the lower production, it would be double jeopardy.
Who stands to gain more if oil sells at 50 dollars a barell and who loses the most?

Missy89:
US and Saudi Arabia needs lower oil prices to pressure Russia/Iran on Syria and Ukraine/ nuclear talks. Thou it would temporarily affect US shale gas market and Saudi economy, They are willing to take the hit as long as it serves that purpose. The important thing is that the volume of oil production hasn't gone down among OPEC/ oil producing states in other to bring the price back up.
If there is no collusion, Oil countries would be cutting their production to raise the price and that hasn't happened yet. how do you explain that?

The Saudis can withstand the new price for a long time.They have a huge reverse to cover costs.

The thing is that the US and Saudi Arabia maybe good geopolitical allies but when it comes to oil, they are serious competitors. Saudi Arabia wants to maintain her position as the worlds top oil supplier, a position that is coming under threat from increasing production from the US. It maybe true that Saudi Arabia is acting alone in increasing supply to crash price, but if they are doing that, its to force the US to reduce production because the cost of shale oil production in the US is very high. If the price of oil continues tumbling, the US will start producing shale oil at a loss.
Saudi Arabia enjoys one of the lowest rates of oil production in the world. Plus the more than 700 billion dollars in reserves they have to cushion the effects any drop in price will cause. But budget wise, they will be forced to deplete their reserves if prices continue tumbling.
The actual reason for falling oil prices is because the US is reducing importation from traditional suppliers and is gradually starting to meet its own oil demands. This has left suppliers who hitherto supplied the US to fill the market with their unwanted oil. Then there is declining demand in India and China. So many other reasons.
Geopolitics and geopolitical tensions are the least of them.

Missy89:
It actually makes sense. The US and the Saudis flood the market when they want to drop/raise the oil price. They have been doing that for a long time.

Not when America is now a competitor and a threat to Saudi Arabia's oil market. You can't collaborate with your competitor to crash your own economy. Thats why it doesnt make sense. Apart from Nigeria and maybe venezeula, Saudi Arabia stands to lose the most with oil selling at the current price.

jpphilips:
Not when America is manipulating supply with Saudi Arabia to punish putin

Saudi arabia whose economy is almost totally dependent on oil is collaborating with America, now the world's major oil supplier and whose economy is non oil driven, to punish Putin and crumble their own( Saudi arabia's) economy. Doesn't make sense.

People get ready, petrol subsidy is going.

Ehn so they've chosen the shackles and bondage of umbrella. What's our business

Johnpaul2k2:

tatiana009:
I wish , I attended an event he spoke at and he really inspired me that we still have people who want to just serve. Infact he made me see Lagos in a new light. I hope he wins but if Hamzat wins or Anyone else I'll support him as long as na APC

You mean this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8ECf_-O9fU
Very uninspiring. He even talks like Fayose. Agbaje will destroy this one in any debate.

Goke7:
Kanu the best number 9? na wao All these children we have nowadays sef on this forum, e be like say na dem full nff and the sports media, later one pikin sef go say onazi be the best number 10.

I think this blasphemous thread should be deleted

Buahahaha! Seconded!

tatiana009:
No be beauty pageant o plus Agbada makes people look..... Anyways just keep an open mind

Are you the nairaland liaison for his campaign?

tatiana009:
Lmao, wait till Ambode wins primaries and starts doing interactive sessions, interviews and debates I promise you'll change your mind

I tend to judge people based on physical appearance. The guy looks like a glutton and a potential treasury looter. Nothing he says will convince me

tatiana009:
Abeg please tell me Jimi Agbage achievements o ? Or is it based on his debates if that is the case shouldn't you wait till debate to decide? Or maybe because he owns a pharmacy and had never managed more than 25 employees, is that the achievement? ;DThe pharmacy is not even one if the reputable ones, who knows the name? Please tell us what qualifies him

No idea. My vote will be a protest vote.

majekdom2:
so what would the feel be like when ambode then performs beyond your expectations when he becomes governor....I know you thinking he cannot perform at all .

Why probability when there are certain and solid choices?

royalbobo:
you don't seem to understand the workings of government and contemporary realities in the context of global benchmarking for a peculiar state like Lagos.That Lagos raised its revenue as you qouted doesn't seem to be in contention here at least.Perhaps what is not clear is the efforts credited to Ambode.As a thorough bred professional with pedigree in public sector Financing and deep insights in corporate working executed the most robust policy of the Asiwaju government improving the earning capability of Lagos.it will interest you to know that this singular reason is why Lagos still is the model state in Nigeria even when the Niger delta states earns 13 percent derivation from oil.perhaps you don't remember that Lagos was intact under Obasanjo when he illegaly held LG fund,it is on this solid ground that gov fashola built and is applauded by even is worst enemies.Ambode is the individual that would raise the stakes.

Anyhow if Ambode emerges as the APC flagbearer instead of Hamzat (who even happens to be Fashola's choice), and the PDP throws up Agbaje, then I'll probably vote umbrella for the first time in my life. Or not vote at all.

tatiana009:
There are many more things, I also just summarized things from the internet. Am I supposed to go looking for his appraisal sheets over 26 years. You too google if you truly want to know

By the way this is no mean feat;

Ambode was said to have designed a template that increased revenue generation from N600 million to over N6 billion monthly, ensuring that all civil servants in Lagos state whether at the state or local government received their monthly salaries without delay.

If he could increase revenue generation from 600m to 6 billion monthly imagine what he can do if he controls the state

Tatiana I'm still not convinced. The state commissioners for budget and planning, and finance can claim they were also responsible for the budget increase. So I'm still not convinced.

tatiana009:
It was under his watch that former governor Tinubu survived the war he fought against former president Olusegun Obasanjo when he (Tinubu) created additional 37 local government development councils which led to the seizure of local government funds by Obasanjo.

Ambode was said to have designed a template that increased revenue generation from N600 million to over N6 billion monthly, ensuring that all civil servants in Lagos state whether at the state or local government received their monthly salaries without delay.

Is this all? I checked the article. the article summed up his achievements in paragraph of 40 words with very scanty and vague details. This is why I should vote for Ambode?

majekdom2:
as long as he hasnt failed , dont you think its worth the risk.

Why risk uncertainty when you have someone with better credentials, achievements and record of public service in Hamzat? There is no basis for embarking on that risk in d first place. That's the point I've been trying to make. This guys only claim to public service is that he was Tinubus AG. Nothing else. And then spurious claims that he decoded one formular that kept Lagos afloat during Objs tenure. I'm still waiting for anyone to provide me with an article that corroborates this claim.
