Naija govt n their little brains making decision dat will make one think if they ever been to school to study at all. Any way my fellow naija citizens are CV crazy dat they belief if u av HND,Bsc,Msc,Phd,ACA,ACCA, and all the CV of the world then u are qualify to be a good manager. My guys no b so cos oyinbo proverb said "Education is not and will never be a true test of knowledge". My argument, market women will never manage our economy the way Phd holder, world bank vice president and OPEC president are managing it. Do we need to be told that reducing the fuel price, devaluing our money, low or no foreign reserve will cost us this? When we are importing in dollars, u gave dollar strenght by devaluing d naira, selling in naira u reduced pump price. Does it make sense? I beg u knw our poroblem? We are not taught money management in schools. So as to know how do protect d #10 in our hand even during d time of financial hardship. Naija its well!!! |
Entrances to many filling stations in Lagos and other parts of the country remained shut to motorists on Sunday following a sharp drop in the supply of petrol to the market. Findings by The PUNCH revealed that oil marketers were no longer interested in importing the product mainly because of the rising exchange rate of the dollar to the Naira. The other factors responsible for the marketers’ action are delayed subsidy payments and rising interests on loans from banks. An official of a major marketing firm, who declined to have his name in print, said, “I am afraid that we cannot continue to import petrol because it costs more now to do so owing to the recent devaluation of the Naira. The rising amount of petrol subsidy arrears payable to us coupled with the high interests on loans from financial institutions, are still major issues in our hands.” Another marketer told one of our correspondents that an exchange rate of N226 per dollar was demanded on import duties contrary to the inter-bank exchange rate of N198 posted on the website of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency for the pricing template of PMS approved on February 19, 2015. The major marketers import close to 60 per cent of petrol consumed in the country while the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation imports the balance. Our correspondents observed on Sunday that the states hit badly by scarcity of petrol were Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Bayelsa, Ondo, Ekiti, Kaduna, Delta, Plateau, Akwa-Ibom. Abuja, the nation’s capital, appeared to be the worst hit by the shortage. The Chairman, Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, Lagos Zone, Alhaji Tokunbo Korodo, said the depots did not have enough products to serve filling stations across the country. “If there were enough to go round, tanker drivers, of course, would move products to the areas of need. Nigerians should not be surprised that this is happening now. It is really unfortunate,” he said. In Lagos, many filling stations did not sell petrol but those that were open for business had long queues of motorists to contend with. Although their pump prices remained N87 per litre, black market operators sold 10 litres for N1,200, i.e N120 per litre. Drivers of commercial buses capitalised on the situation to increase their fares. For instance, fare for Ojodu-Berger to Magboro, which hitherto was N50, was N100 on Sunday. One motorist told one of our correspondents in Lagos that, “If our fuel finishes now, we will go and queue to get another fuel. Now that we have fuel, passengers would have to pay more until the situation improves. It was a Herculean task for motorists in Sango-Ota, Ijebu Ode and Abeokuta in Ogun State to purchase petrol from the stations. Although most of the stations sold petrol at the regulated price of N87 per litre, the Oando Filling Station in Ijoko, Ota sold it for N100. A motorist, who bought from the said station demanded for and was issued a receipt which she forwarded to one of our correspondents. In Ibadan, Oyo State, one of our correspondents had learnt on Friday that the scarcity was due to unsubstantiated information that petrol price would go down to N65 per litre. A manager at one of the stations in the Mokola area of the city, said the rumour seemed to be gaining ground and that the marketers were studying the situation. He said, “No businessman wants to run at a loss. The product we have now was purchased at the old price. We have not added any price to the stipulated N87 per litre of petrol but the queue is long because many people are not sure of the availability of the product in a few day’s time or why some fuel stations are not selling. “Those who are not selling must have exhausted their product and are unwilling to buy more at the old price because of the fear that the rumour of a new price of N65 per litre could be true. If we buy today at the current price and government slashes price tomorrow, who pays for the deficit?” The situation was the same in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State on Sunday as many filling stations rationed the product. A station along Adebayo Road which on Saturday sold the product for only two hours in the evening and did not on Sunday. Motorists and commercial transport operators went to the hinterland where petrol sold at a higher price but readily available. The price ranged between N100 and N105 per litre. The shortage which was noticeable in Warri, Sapele, Ughelli and other parts of Delta State thinned out on Sunday. But the pump price of the product remained high in Asaba as motorists paid between N95 and N100 per litre. The attendants said the directive to sell at prices higher than N87 was given by their bosses, who they said claimed to have bought the product at a higher price . The scarcity in Ondo State which began on Thursday worsened on Sunday. Petrol also sold for between N95 and N110 per litre in filling stations that were operational. Checks by our correspondent in the state showed that most of the stations were still locked . The Chairman, Independent Marketers Branch, Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, Ore, Mr. Olakunle Ajulo, attributed the scarcity to the failure of government to pay subsidy claims. He expressed hope that the matter would soon be resolved as stakeholders were already tackling the issue. Ajulo blamed the shortage in Ondo and Ekiti states on the fact that the Ore Depot was not functioning. There was also scarcity in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. Apart from a few filling stations and the NNPC mega filling stations, others did not sell the product. Some motorists spoken to said it was only the NNPC mega stations that sold petrol for N87. A motorist, who gave his name simply as Femi, said he bought a litre for N90. The product also sold for between N110 and N120 per litre in Jos, Bukuru and its environs in Plateau State. An attendant at one of the stations, who identified herself as Yeni, said, “We have product, but the manager asked us to lock up the station.” Many filling stations in Uyo, Akwa Ibom on Sunday were selling petrol at N110 per litre as against N140 to N150 per litre which was prevalent price for a litre of fuel last week. Motorists and commuters in Kaduna State continued to groan in pain in the wake of fuel scarcity that hit the metropolis and its environs since Friday. The Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division of the NNPC, Ohi Alegbe, told our correspondent on the telephone that the Federal Government had injected fresh 680 million litres of petrol to boost the product supply base. He said the effect of the injection which was done at the weekend would be felt from Monday(today). He advised Nigerians to desist from panic buying of petrol because there was no need for such. Meanwhile, the Presidential Campaign of the All Progressives Congress has said that the return of queues at filling stations is a confirmation that the policies of the Goodluck Jonathan administration are founded on deceit and insincerity. According to the APC campaign, it is now evident that the recent reduction in cost of petrol was borne out of political expediency, rather than compassion. It also condemned the poor electricity supply across the country by power firms, describing it as a sad reminder of the failure of the PDP-led Federal Government. The group, in a statement by its Director of Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, wondered how a political party which has been in power for 16 years, could still feel confident to seek another term in office. The statement partly read,“The issue is that being unable to set up even one new refinery in the past five years and unable to get existing refineries to function up to 50 per cent capacity, the people of Nigeria surely need another set of people to be in charge of affairs. |
I pity dat pinnick of a guy, if i were keshi i wud av resigned after d worldcup cos i belief u wud av gotten a better deal. Now let him not take it afterall his contract has lapsed so dat d nff can display what dey have 4 naija. |
A DECLARATION Saturday by Coach Stephen Keshi that the new deal offered to him by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) amounts to a “slave contract,” is not going down well with the leadership of the federation. Keshi’s initial contract of three years ran out after the Brazil 2014 World Cup, where Nigeria reached the last 16. He failed to qualify the Super Eagles for the recently concluded Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea, prompting a debate on whether or not to give him a new contract. After a long wait, Keshi, who led Nigeria to win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa, said he had received his new contract from the NFF, but was far from being impressed with what was on offer. “From the clauses I have seen so far, I don’t know what words to use, but the contract can be described as a ‘slave contract’”, he said, probably in reference to clauses which make him answerable to several persons and committees. Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported yesterday that Keshi had been offered a two-year contract effective from March 1, 2015, requiring him to meet several targets or else the deal was off. However, the President of NFF Amaju Pinnick told The Guardian yesterday that it was unfair for Keshi to make such comment. “How can Keshi say the NFF gave him a ‘slave contract’? How come he is discussing details of his contract with the media, instead of talking with the NFF? It is unprofessional. Well, he has a choice to make,” Pinnick said. http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/sport/200070-nff-gave-me-slave-contract-says-keshi BELOW ARE THE NEW TERMS OF CONTRACT FOR STEPHEN KESHI. 1. A TECHNICAL ADVISER CAN BE EMPLOYED IF ......... 2. #5 MILLION Monthly 3. NO ACCOMMODATION, NO VEHICLE 4. #500,00 TRANSPORTATION Fees 5. CHAN AND AFCON SEMI-FINAL STAGE QUALIFICATION 6. COACH MUST NEVER STAY OUTSIDE NIGERIA FOR MORE THAN 21 DAYS IN THE YEAR 7. MUST TELL NFF BEFORE ACCEPTING GIFTS FROM COMPANIES, INDIVIDUALS . KESHI MUST SUBMIT REPLY ON MARCH 12TH. Am laughing in French here. MOD DO THE NEEDFUL AT THE FRONT PAGE |
hardbody:Guy, GEJ got it wrong since when he took power, OBJ was busy saving money frm excess crude oil so dat wen it drops d money can be used to protect the naira frm falling this way. Now ask GEJ what he did with all the money ($41B) OBJ safed for us, what happen the the fuel subsidy(SUREP)? With this u will agree with me dat GEJ failed as a manager of resources and also a good politician. Let me remind u, all the railway dat GEJ is commissioning it was OBJ who started it cos when the deal was signed it was shown live on the network station dat was 2006. So GEJ has done nothing. |

Name any youth that u can beat you cheast for dat can deliver good governace to this country. My dear dont b sentimental vote for someone whom u knw if he disappoints, u can vote him out and vote in another person until the right leader is voted in, not this present govt who will waste your another 4 years of living in this country. |
February 26, 2015 Leave a reply NFF ARE LYING TO NIGERIANS- KESHI Out-of-contract Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, has claimed he never re- applied to manage the team despite claims by the Nigeria Football Federation that the former Nigeria captain is the only applicant for the national team job. The NFF said earlier this month that Keshi would be given the job as he was the only one that applied after the position was advertised as vacant last year. But Keshi told The PUNCH on Wednesday that the NFF was lying to Nigerians with that declaration in a bid to make him look bad before football followers. He said he told NFF president, Amaju Pinnick, and a board member of the NFF, Felix Anyasi, that he was no longer interested in coaching the Super Eagles. “Nigerians have been deceived; I never applied for the Super Eagles coaching job as the NFF have lied to Nigerians,” Keshi said on the telephone. “I didn’t receive any contract terms, nor did my agent. I only see all these things on the pages of newspapers, but I decided to keep quiet. The NFF has succeeded in deceiving journalists in Nigeria. “In one of the early interviews Pinnick had after he became NFF president, he made it clear that Keshi would not be coaching the team, so how come he is turning around to say he is offering me a new contract, and that I’m the one stalling. I’ve told them I don’t want the job. I’m tired of coaching and being surrounded by people who don’t want me in the job. “Pinnick told everyone that the NFF had paid us (the coaches) our entitlements, but he was lying. They still owe us two months salaries and the winning bonus from the last Sudan game which we won. “They’re saying these things because they want Nigerians to see me as a bad person. I’ve been very patient and quiet but they kept lying about a contract.” See full story on the punch: http:// www.punchng.com/sports/i-never-re- applied-for-eagles-job-keshi/ |

At best, Agbaje succeeded in convincing viewers that he actually does not have a plan to solve the problems he says Lagosians are faced with. He was at his evasive best during an interview session on a Channels TV programme, Straight Talk With Kadaria. The interview seemingly went on well until Mr. Agbaje was asked to clear the air as regards the irregularities and rigging issues that surrounded his emergence from the PDP primary elections. After all attempts to evade the question Agbaje ended up with an unconvincing retort. He fumbled further by giving bland answers when questioned about his plans and programmes for Lagos state, answers that were far short of bold. READ ALSO: Agbaje Tells Fashola To Pay Medical Workers Salaries The PDP guber candidate infuriated a majority of the viewers by defending the incumbent government at the centre based merely on ethnic sentiments, saying that the South-south deserves another 4 years of rule insinuating that people of the area do not shut down the economy if Jonathan does not win. He was unable to mention an achievement of the present administration and goofed further by when trying give excuses in support of the PDP as regards the Boko haram situation. The aspect that would be most worrisome to Lagosians was his inability to profer articulate programmes and plans for Lagos. For someone who claims to have bold idess he came across as lame and lacking in ideas and experience. He kept on evading direct questions and rather than sell his own ideas ended up promoting the work of the incumbent APC government. READ ALSO: Agbaje Does Not Have A God Father – Bode George The interview laid credence to the APC’s call for voters to vote for experience. Agbaje showed that he did not have a grasp of how government works. The social media immediately went agog with reactions to the interview. Most people expressed disappointment and disaffection at the discordant and inexperience-laden responses given by Agbaje. One of such comments on a popular blog stated: “I watched Jimi Agbaje interview on channels tv tonight and I was baffled by some of his words. He said and I quote “For the unity of nigerians the south- south (Jonathan area) should have 4 more years. So it is not about competence again? He also said as a politician his job is to tell people to vote and not refrain from crisis. This Agbaje is one useless man who cannot be allowed to govern Lagos state. Let us vote wisely.” READ ALSO: Ambode Clears Air About His Health And Mental State Instead of informing Lagosians about his reasons for running as a governor, he was busy making threat-like statements possible of inciting violence among the unsuspecting electorates. Mr.Agbaje, actually tried his eloquent best to enumerate his plans for the state at different points during the interview, but the fact that they lacked convincing content further confirmed the truth that governance is not just about elementary eloquence, but about experience, tested expertise and convincing capabilities. The APC governorship aspirant, Akinwunmi Ambode was right when he called him an intern in the last debate hosted by Lagos Chamber of Commerce and industry |

Can Community ownership of football club work in nigeria? My answer is YES! The reason are much but lets use Enyimba as a case study: The club (enyimba) has a 10000 registered members who are of different category in club(gold,silve r and bronze members). Gold members are to pay 500k pre season and members in this category are just 100, silver are to pay 100k per season,members are like 1000 then last last category bronze 8900 members are to pay the sum of 10k per season as annul subcription. That means the club will get 89m from bronze, 100m from silver,gold 50m and the total equal 239m frm subscription alone. Benefits of been a member can be in this format: gold are entitle to contest to become an excutive member , or member of the board for a duration of 3yrs, they are to sit on the VIP for the home games in the stadium for free, they get one home jersey, access to use the club domain on the internet e.g writer@enyimbaf c.com, free access to the club recretion ground with friends and business partners and so on. Silver: are to sit on the cover stand for a half fee of home games. Eg. They pay #500 instead of 1k for cover stand. They can vote for their executive in gold category to be elected, using domin name of the club, get stickers, banners of the club etc, and get a jersey. Silver: they can also vote, get employed in any of the club subsideries (space wont allow me explain how even if the members in this group are up to 10m can be employed cos the more members, the more business the club will embark upon), can use domain of the club, get latest jist of the club on their phone etc. So please lets surport community club cos it will reduce unemployment and fans will filled the stadia. N.B:Moderator plz front page for good of our football |

now pro gej what do u av to say about this report from sahara(in ur mind its a pro gmb agency)? |
i wonder what u guys would have done if jesus were to say all the parables in the bible in this present generation. Well i am not surprise afterall jesus said " destroy this temple and in 3 days i will rebuild it" but i know if the bible had not explained it that he meant his body, i knw how bible school pastors will preach something else about that phrase. Anyway in a simple way the pope meant that there is a limit to any insult,abuse and disturbance. Respect me and i will do same to u. Simple! Jesus said if someone slap u turn the other cheek. But when he was been slaped by the soldier of pilate because of the way he answered pilate, how did he react? Did he turn his cheeck? Plz u ppl should understand the word of God because its not a novel. |
Chanchit:wat has the 'men' achieve all their time in SE. No prob i dnt blame u fans bt raher i will blame d press 4 all d wrong information |
@op i think u got it very very wrong abt football tactics. See free u bias mind n reason it like this : (1) aw do u know a quality coach? What re the criterias? To my understanding a quality professional coach is d one who manage or stays in tune with his profession over a long period gaining xperience with it. Eg sir alex feguson had constantly been in biz wit man utd gaining experince n d result we got since yr 2000 until he left, mounrinho started frm porto to chelsea to milan n people call them good coaches cos they re always engage. Now look at kechi, he started from been an assistant to amodu to become a chief coach in togo n mail then nig. And d result re there to see. All d coaches around how many of them can u say av been regularly engage for the past ten yrs now. From siasia to olishe to anyone u can think of. My bro to analys is diff from to practices.. Eg when we were younger n we see the past question of an exam we will say its simple bt when we get to the exam hall d ball game is always diff. So dopnt olishe let him go n get some xperience. |
witing in awoite way... So u ppl av begining in bomb everywhere ni? Abi u re want in ba school je ni? Plz dont carry our moz girls ooo because me i cant so pe "bring back our girl" oooo . OF THE GREATEST AWOITES.... ALUTA CONTINUA ... keep d flag flying. |
breathern bible is nt like our novels that we read instead its a 'story book' talked about events dat took place during our forefathers time. So to interprete it one will need the inspiration of God 2ru d holyspirit n an associate of historians who can tell what took place at that time. Now, my findings frm my rev fr (a catholic priest) is that songs of solomon is a poem written to tell the jews(bride) the love God(groom) has 4 his people. Then it also translat to the love of christ(groom) to his church(bride). Just as chrit discribed his kingdom in the scriptures like the story of the bride n the groom(mtw 25 1-13) so also the songs of solomon relate to man n woman. Top conclude it up God used the book of Hosea in d bible to explain it better to the prophet and us(read frm the begining of hosea to d end) to understand the bible u need a very good preacher of bible nt the personal interest preachers that we av now. Glory be to jesus... |

My bro free ur mind, i understand u. See things is wat diff catholic frm other churches..1.. Trinity...2... Tradition of d church. Nw my argument wit u is base on trinity. If u understand dat there re 3 persons in 1 God than u wil understand why marry is d mother of God. Bro if u re a JW den it wil b difficult 2 make u understand. fijiano202: how old are you,are you sure u are educated,pls try to read john 3:16,are u telling me God sent himself? |
A catholic priest spent btw 7-14 yrs 2 b ordained. Dependin on course. Unlike pastors with less than 3yrs.(2) anybody can b a pastor bt few can b a priest |
U dnt knw d bible. Jesus is God n dats y catholic cald mary mother of God. John 1:1 fijiano202: Firstly OP am really sorry for my insultive words,May God forgive us all,Secondly @jenmaucy am not trying to oppose ur belief but Mary was only refered to as Blessed during the pregnancy of Christ,immediately after Christ Birth she was called blessed Mary again,after Jesus birth mary was less significant in the bible,the main reason she was refer to as blessed was because she was chosen to carry Jesus outta million Lady,check ur bible to confirm that.Thirdly why do catholic refer to marry as mother of God when we clearly know Jesus is not God,even Jesus recognize God in heaven as his father ,check john 3:16 and the lords prayer.Fourthly do you know calling Mary as mother of God is blasphemy? am awaiting ur response |
I av been ffing ur coments abt d catholic church 4 a lng time bt nw i can rightly say dat u lie alot against d church. Bro u cant knw things more dan d owner. U might had been a catholic b4 bt cos u refusd 2 ask questn, u left d church wch doesnt make u knw d church doctrine. Also, maybe u never attended a catholic mass bt u read stories on d internet doesnt make u a' prof' abt d church. Bros free ur mind ask questn abt d church n u wil get a gud ans. My wife was 1s like u bt nw she is stronger in faith dan me. Acidosis: You are not a sincere Catholic |

Ok. U belief only d as bible as christians. So use d bible 2 proof 2 me dat jesus had bros. My proof is dat bible never said mary had another baby after jesus. Then i can find where cousin is used in d bible. So tell me urs[quote author=lana_Vello]Its not a claim,he indeed had biological brothers(from his mother's side). If you're aiming at refuting that,come out straight and lets share knowledge.....i'm curious to know![/quote] |
I dont understand you. I mean y do we claim dat jesus av a biological bros. Using OP questions to answer or bible with proof[quote author=lana_Vello]1. Jesus telling john to hold on to his mother doesn't negate the fact that he'd brothers. 2. How does that relate? They weren't his cousins dude....they were his brothers betterstill 'step-brother' buh the word most prolly didn't exist then![/quote] |
