The oil market is OLIGOPOLISTIC in nature. So, i'd ask you this; Can Buhari stabilize the oil market? Is Buhari OPEC? Do you understand what a CARTEL is? So, his stabilizing oil market or oil price are both unviable!

coruso:
what are you saying? I watched it live, when he was interviewed and he was asked how he is going to run the economy with the fall of oil price in the international market, and he replied, " I will stabilise international oil price......"

They need to arrest this man and confiscate his properties. Also make sure he is banned from ever owning a food business in Nigeria again. They need to also look into his residency status and revoke it if he refuses to come back and face the law. Do you know how many people have probably died from food poisoning, but their relatives won't believe that Chocolate Royal is capable of this? No mercy at all when it comes to food and drugs. I don't blame him though. When Nigerian's themselves are selling fake drugs without regard for life. He feels he can also kill us as well to make a profit.! This is sick. Only a deranged person will do this and he must be severely punished

Did we vote for the Prime minister of the Republic of Corruption?

Where's Osibanjo? Is Tinubu the vice president now? We said Osi was going to end up being a nobody, he has.

Mbkite:
What should be your response? or what are you expected to do? or what could be the implication? If your employer continue paying you, when you are actually doing nothing in the firm. Also note that he (employer) doesn't complain and has never threatened to drop you.

Matured answers please.... A fellow needs to know.

Notice how nos 1-3 fall into the category of people we call 'chinco'. While we are busy making jokes about these people - that they speak bad English and their products don't last - they are busy quietly taking over the World in everyway.

Our internet providers really need to step up the game!

Good day everyone!

I was surprised receiving an e-mail this morning from this bank
that my ATM card will be disabled if I don't have BVN. Below was what I received:

"Dear Valued Customer,

Please note that your ATM Debit card will be disabled soon from performing transactions,Pending your registration for the new ATM card bank verification number(BVN) as directed by the Central Bank of Nigeria,Please note that this registration is Mandatory.
Simply copy and paste the link below in your browser and fill in the registration form to reactivate your ATM card immediately"




I wonder what having this BVN number is turning into. Is it a must I have it nor make use of it?

End time thing I think.... What do you as well think of this BVN or no BVN issues?

This is based solely on my personal opinion and is not binding on anyone or organization. It is however to encourage all graduates that they can succeed in life regardless of their grade. Read on:

*Toyota automobiles.

Do you agree with www.gidilink..com and what other products do you think should be on the list?

This is terrible sha. But I blame graduates who have decided it's either a white collar job or nothing.
My younger sister is in the fashion business, she is constantly on the lookout for good tailors but has to go as far as togo or cotonou to get some. And those guys dictate their pay, she pays nothing less thank 60k a month, not including the compulsory accommodation you give them. She has a friend that pays hers 100k a month sef, so she's even lucky. This is in Benin o where things are relatively cheap, I don't want to imagine what these guys earn in Lagos and Abuja.
We're currently building and in the plastering stage and again all fingers pointed to the togolese/ Benin Republic guys as the best people for the job. These guys are in the range of 15 to 22 years and they take nothing less than 600k-1mn for a standard sized duplex. A job they complete in 2 weeks.
These are people who aren't even licensed to work in this country, getting more jobs and earning more than most Nigerian youths.
So until Nigerian graduates learn to think outside the box, this situation will sadly continue. Get a skill. Stop the craze for white collar jobs. As one of my lecturers used to say back then, "shit money does not smell"

The Borno State governor, Kassim Ibrahim, yesterday appealed to the president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd, to allocate 13 per cent of petroleum revenue to the North East region which has been ravaged by insurgency when he assumes office.
The governor, who made the demand known in a paper which he is expected to deliver today at Day-Two of a conference organised by the Savannah Centre for Diplomacy, Democracy and Development (SCDDD), asserted that the current insurgency was the direct outcome of the inequality in oil revenue distribution.

omonnakoda:
I already addressed that. It is inland and the harbour is small so it capacity is small in terms of the number of ship s that it can handle as well as size and tonnage so yes it is a good thing to have bu it is SMALL even at maximum potential


In terms of security while I appreciate your preference what really matters is the opinion of the insurance company who dictate to the shippers through their charges. Inland ports are considered riskier in terms of pirate attacks,accidents etc . Thereby attracting a higher premium. Still if you ship to Calabar you will still have to evacuate your good by passing through the roads in Akwa Ibom which will add to your cost and expose you to that same "unstable" security

omonnakoda:
Calabar port is an inland port. The harbour is very small limiting the possible maximum number of ships that can berth but also move at the same time
Dredging is not a permanent and it is not cheap.It will have to be repeated from time to time.
One thing a lot of people overlook is the unintended or unpredictable environmental consequences of dredging. 2 or 3 years ago we witnessed an unprecedented flooding event .We can expect a lot more of that the more we dredge. There are few forces on earth more powerful than water and we just do not have the competency to handle that . Yes there is a need to spread the entry point for cargoes but there is a responsibility to provide evacuation infrastructure. Akwa Ibom is a better place than Calabar and the money spent building that Uyo stadium would have gone a very long way. The Money Ibori stole etc. The other problem is security. If you own a ship you must have insurance and your insurer will charge you more for going to the Niger Delta than Lagos or Cotonou and so you will charge the customer more. So as a shipper sending a car by Roro to Lagos for 600 euro or Calabar for 600 Euro what will you do especially when you know that you will get more money selling in Lagos or sell quicker.

Akwa Ibom is probably the best competitor for Lagos and in good place because it is almost virgin territory that can be properly planned. A road and rail network linking the port to the rest of the SS,SE ,NC and NE . This needs vision and partnership . Imagine if 5 or 6 states start a company and bring in other investors and the FG as well as NDDC. This is where visionary leadership is required. Instead of GEJ BORROWING money to build Abuja light rail that adds nothing he should have invested in such an idea which to my mind would be $2-3 billion. It is painful to think that yet another opportunity of HIGH oil prices has been squandered

otokx:
the Calabar port is not deep enough to accommodate big ships same for all the other port - that is why Lagos keep getting everything.

Good luck would have done another deep sea port in Bayelsa but the guy like most Niger Deltans saw small money and forgot his generation.

Mynd44:
Why in Lagos? Other states need this plants and industries more abeg.

Lagos is already too freaking populated. They could have opened it in Rivers or Alwa Ibom kf they are worried about closeness to the port and hence materials.

Even the excuse of market is not feasible as deliveries can be made. The concentration of industries in one state is causing more pressure on Lagos which is it smallest state according to landmass already.
