My point exactly,now is the time Nigeria has leverage.British economy is in shambles rite now....how many prime Ministers hav been replaced within 10years alone?
This is a bilateral air agreement not like we are asking for something new.we both need each other rite now

Their economy is in shambles - yet, UK is the number one japa destination for Nigerians abi? Wehdon sir!
Don't let their politics fool you, the UK economy is solid.
You cant demand to be treated fairly arrogantly by issuing threats especially when the other party is still colonizing you indirectly.

Iamzik:
BA is not doing Nigeria a favour sir.

They were charging Nigerians exploitative air fare before air peace stepped in. One of the hallmarks of a strong leader is ability to take difficult decisions. Our currency was stronger than pounds at some points if not for our useless leaders. Do you know that Nigeria sent aid to UK as some point after independence?

Stop looking down on yourself. Respect must be demanded on the international stage. If you are percieve yourself as weak you will be treated as such.

Do you know how much money out people spend in UK every year? UK needs Nigeria as much as Nigeria need UK

I do agree with you on a number of points.
It is definitely reasonable to demand to be treated fairly.
However, you cant do that with abrasiveness and ultimatums when you'll eventually lose at the end if push turns to shove... that was my point.

Wonderful

But, is he indirectly saying that pastors/churches accepting tithes are poor?

Iamzik:
Yes let Nigerians suffer it. I will also expel some of their diplomats if they don't yield. We behave like weaklings that is why we are not respected anywhere in the world

Cutting your nose to spite your face is dumb! Policies are made based on interests and facts, not emotions.
When you have sufficient leverage, you can choose to flex your muscle.

bdon123:
So u tink it is britons dat occupu d flight from london to Lagos? smh. Oga british airways needs Lagos route. nigerians really goto london alot. uk government like collecting from us n giv us nothing in return....they are so selfish .we must all make money together

My point exactly! It is Nigerians that will suffer it (to and from). If there are no more direct flights to the UK, it is Nigerians that will need to pay extra to go to nearby countries to join connecting flights.

You pay for a service and get it. Yet, you say they are not giving you anything. Understand this, British airways DOES NOT need Nigeria to continue to be successful. UAE just lifted the ban on Nigerians after two years of extensive lobbying (begging), companies are leaving your country wilfully and in droves, airlines have suspended travelling the Nigerian route without flinching etc

Nigerians need to understand their current reality and drop the stupid pride and arrogance.

poiZon:
Are U sure U R a Nigerian?

Yes sir!

Iamzik:
You know nothing John snow.

Mr Einstein, please tell us what you know.

Who types like this FGS.

I do! ...and you understood what I typed just like everyone else

You will be worse than Tinubu if you become president. Shior

Let me become president first... then, we'll see.

airsaylongcome:
Since when did evidence hold water in Nigeria. We all saw the Gandollar video. What happened to the dollars? Let's forget about what happened to Gandollar first

1. This thread is about mutilating the NAIRA.
2. Ganduje was not mutilating the dollar in that video and as a sitting governor, he had immunity at the time.
3. Ganduje and his family are currently in the process of being prosecuted by the Kano Government.

So, what's your point?

MIKOLOWISKA:
define money laundering? Why are you forcing ppl to hold useless money that you're printing

You seem to need the education: Money laundering involves disguising financial assets so they can be used without detection of the illegal activity that produced them. Through money laundering, the criminal transforms the monetary proceeds derived from criminal activity into funds with an apparently legal source.

It being useless to you is your business. Naira remains the legal tender of Nigeria and the law will continue to protect it.

If e sure for you, gather some of the "useless" currency, make a video while mutilating it and post it online for everybody to see

...

NothingDoMe:
Looks like another retarded policy to me based largely on ignorance with a smidgeon of illiteracy.

It is you who is ignorant and hardly literate (such an educated illiterate that cannot make a short statement without insult).
For starters, that "policy" was my personal view based on the fact that this is Nigeria and Naira is our legal tender - any other currency used for anything within Nigeria should be illegal as it rightly aligns with current law.

Dollarization starts from the top. Nigeria does not accept Naira as payment for her crude oil sales. Let's start from there.

How many barrels of crude oil have you bought you this retarded dimwit? Crude oil is an international product with international conventions and charters. You cannot just appropriate just like that except you want to be a pariah state like Russia currently is.

okoroemeka:
and that investigation I am suspecting will be the biggest corruption case in the history of mankind

The more reason why it needs to be done ASAP

Unfolding drama.

Dangote dropped Malta in a comment out of pain/frustration and now, claims vs denials are springing out.
However, not a single document has been presented for or against the allegations.

Well, the real truth will come out someday

Small nyash dey shake o

Keyamo, if you give British Airways Ilorin as you've suggested, it is still Nigerians that will suffer it.
Virtually all the states fly to Lagos but not all states fly to Ilorin. Put in another way, all airlines fly to Lagos (sometimes multiple times a day) but, not all airlines fly to Ilorin (for connecting flights) and terminal destination.

Santalpharay:
You don't seem to understand the game here. Same way it is hard for passengers to connect from Gatwick will be the same way it will be for passengers to connect from Ilorin. The results. Passengers coming from UK will prefer flying other Airlines that land in Lagos instead of flying British Airways that will only land in Ilorin. That means bad market for British airways. That is what Airpeace is already suffering in UK for being only able to land in Gatwick instead of Heathrow

First, it is a travesty for you to compare British Airways (and its OneWorld alliance) with Airpeace and its leased planes.
Second, what other options are available?
Lastly, I stand by my initial position - Nigerians will suffer it more.

Can you compare the number of Nigerians seeking to travel to the UK against the number of Britons seeking to visit Nigeria?

Granted that the EFCC has more serious matters to look into like probing NNPC, tracking evil politicians, investigating all the transactions Emefiele had with Dangote etc... The law is still the law and EFCC are doing what the law has asked them to do. DO NOT deface our national symbols for fun

As for the dollarization of the economy, a law should be made to limit the amount of dollars (fx) any individual or company can hold in cash within the country. For example, if you are caught with any amount above say $100, you will be charged for money laundering and be made to forfeit thrice the amount in question with $1000 as the minimum fine (whichever is larger)

poiZon:
Will this law be for the rich or the poor?

Everybody! As long as there is evidence

eagleu:
I can't stop laughing when you said Tinubu means well for Nigeria.
Buhari meant well, though criminally for his Fulani people alone, but Tinubu?
He means well for himself ONLY. Unfortunately, he found the formula to confuse Yorubas that he meant well for them.
No love for Dangote for his past monopolistic tendencies and corrupt practices under Buhari and OBJ, but this refinery issue has exposed a lot already.
How did Tinubu collect $100 million from Dangote for the land in Lagos?
How did a company controlled by Tinubu family members get involved in a refining company in Malta?
How did the Malta company's products saturate Nigeria markets and make it impossible to refine oil in Nigeria?
When will Tinubu's OANDO take over Dangote's hard earned refinery on a pretext
Note, Tinubu's oil company has already taken over Agip and other international companies.

What did they say? When a fox is made in charge of guarding the chickens?

The genius of Tinubu is that the average Yoruba thinks that he will benefit from these illegal activities.

I don't have the facts about most of what you posted here and you certainly didn't have to make it tribal

However and whatever it is, Nigeria will triumph at the end of the day.

Foolishness on steroids!

The victim has now become the offender.

The owner of the house is most likely richer and now has a legitimate reason to squeeze his balls hard

Patience and diplomacy could have earned him a win in this situation.

Love800:
Okay.
So, they dont go to the depot to load again?

They do. That's the only place tankers load fuel. It is only where they have to travel to that is different now

Finally, is NNPC a private company?

Yes, it is. But, it is owned by the Government 100percent

casualobserver:
Every set of Nigerians in most fields but in particular the public sector, that replaced those that precedes them tend to be worse. From military to academia to police to civil service to govt corporations.

My brother, it's just sad mehn!
One would think that we are supposed to be progressing as a nation alas, the current reality doesn't seem like that

It is well!

Bizibi:
I just went through the findings of the Malta blending plant and if truly the plant belong to the tinubu family then nothing will happen to nnpc management. Fuel imports from Malta to Nigeria Rose to 2b dollars last year and fingers are pointing to the tinubu family. If Nigeria government is still paying secret subsidy then this fight between dangote and NNPCL is not over.

Whether these allegations are true or not; eventually, something must give!

Love800:
What are the names if the four refineries?
And pls, what does a depot mean?

Our four refineries are located in Warri, Kaduna while two are in Port Harcourt

And a depot is like a "warehouse" for petroleum products. The depots used to be connected by pipes across the country. Instead of the interstate transportation of petroleum products that we have today, tankers years ago would normally go to a nearby depot in their state to load .

Sense pass sense

Except you are not on the authorities radar, they will surely catch you

After God, na government!

Death: our final bus stop in this thing called life

Shower or gunshot, all die na die

May her soul rest in peace, amen

This country is a mess! Is there one thing that is functioning well in this country?

NNPC has monopoly of importing petroleum products into the country and they cant seem to be able to even do that simple job well.
Yet, they have a problem with a local producer that will eliminate the logistical problem of the system.

NNPC has four refineries, depots and thousands of filling stations across the country while Dangote has only one refinery. I make bold to say NNPC is the real devilish monopoly that's got our economy in a death grip chokehold

Like I said earlier:

EdgeUp:
Dangote being a brutal capitalist aside, NNPC is just a cesspit of corruption.

Tinubu will show Nigerians that he means well for the country if he fires the entire first (C-Suite) and second level management team of NNPC and order for their investigation as well.

That is one of the things that can be done to redeem the current socio-economic quagmire

Yeye dey smell

All these men in the limelight are professionals at inventing stories after/to fit the facts

So, the wizards left his mother and are now his goons abi?

Babasanjo is a real nigga

Poverty not money is indeed the root of all evil

You'd pay for your belief - as nothing is really free!

Simply believing is never enough.

What is money when millions have died for their beliefs?

Congratulations to them

Death comes to us all. May his soul rest in peace, amen
