And once they do that they should sell at a price higher than the market rate so that they can make a profit, not the one where they buy at N282, sell at N162 and pay a subsidy that does not cover the difference

That's where you and I disagree on. I guess we can leave it there. Cheap fuel is not realistic.

you come across as someone with no BILLS YET
cos this right there is shallow, no offence!

backbencher:
.

The problem is, government is not allowing the local refinery operate at a profit, by insisting that the price of fuel at the pump must be below the production price...and even buying it from Niger means we sell at a loss of N150 or thereabouts...which the subsidy paid cannot cover.(We buy at N350 from Niger and sell at N162 at the pump and pay subsidy to cover the loss. Does not make sense)

I think we agree there should be local refineries, where we disagree is the price they should sell at.



Yes, by removing subsidy.




Well, if you check their company (the chinese company involved)'s website they are a crude oil producer, and they meet their refinery needs from their domestic crude. The following quote comes from the Wikipedia page on PETROLEUM INDUSTRY IN NIGER



They have an oilfiled...Agadem.

No imports.



I think we agree 100% on that, where we disagree is how we should support them. For me it means letting them operate at a profit, even if it means we all pay above N300 or more at the pump.

I think you should pay attention to subsidy 101

backbencher:
The point of the report is that subsidises , which is part of the 'regulated price' system, won't let the refineries operate at a profit.

Sorry thats is Daft on the part of the reporter cos if the subsidy was paid to the local refineries, they can function till such time where the subsidy is refused. There should have been no talk of subsidy not being paid sited as the reason the local refineries cant work Rather NNPC is sitting on it to make sure they dont work

backbencher:
What the NNPC boss is saying is simple.

Modular refineries can only work when government allows petrol to be sold at market price, otherwise they won't make enough of a profit to function well otherwise.

why cant the FG pay the subsidy to the modular refineries so they can function. at least we know where our petrol is coming from and the volume can be checked.
Answer, fraud wil be reduced so they dnt like this.

OP stop posting lubish, these where shot and burnt , an Air strike will leave crater at point of impact and bodies wont be complete.Question, why are they calling this an air strike

djevino:
There's no evidence of an airstrike on the ground like holes u know what I mean right? Abi am I missing something?

You are amongst the few with functioning brains, the rest are just so ignorant

ednut1:
many of the cars imported to Nigeria are accidented or stolen. is this why they are afraid

And you know this because??

kuntash:
Which points to the insensitivity of those in customs shouting ITS DEVOID OF HUMAN INTERFERENCE as if the database where the figures are sources wasn't inputed by humans ...


What baffles me in all these is that the CBN or customs do not seem to put into consideration lots of factors as SALVAGE brands and the cost of repairs for imported vehicles..

Based on the artificial intelligence they are noising about , we all know computer is garbage in garbage out .... The system interprets what it's directed to search , they should not assume everyone is stupid in this reagrd

If you input your VIN on Google and add valuation to it especially for cars 2004 up, you are likely to see results of ACV (actual cash value) and ERC (estimated repair cost) .. why is the artificial intelligence not queried to do such computations ?

A clean title vehicle is what seem to be considered by their systems whereas over 80% of vehicles imported to Nigeria are salvage ..

If it's uniformity and elimination of fraud they seek , they should make the valuation rates open enough for the public to know ,,as a matter of fact they know how to sanitize it ,

I think the are heading to the right direction however this whole broh haha, has failed to mention one group of persons ahah the Clearing agents, this is taking food from their mouth, so I was wondering if they are behind this so called protest or shoting down lagos.If one buys a salage car, Im hoping this costing system bills the duty as that of a salvage car rather of a clean tittle.

aieromon:
Valuation will be based on the auction value of the vehicle. Now the issue is this: a clean title might cost $4,000 while one with a flooded title will cost way less. With the automated valuation, both titles will be assessed using the same parameter regardless of the final auction price.

You can not get a true valuation from Auction's final price as AI would not see below the hood. However there is an initial valuation of all cars b4 Auction, that's the Blue Book.Im a 100% sure this is what they will go with and its usually higher than final auction price.

aieromon:
It is supposed to make the system more transparent.

The service is trying to eliminate under-declaration of vehicle value by dubious agents and compromised/ignorant valuation officers.

Using the Hyundai Elantra as an example, each model is manufactured within a 5/7 year period. During that period, there might be cosmetic changes but the platform remains the same. The 2006-2010 models share the same chassis. A clearing agent might import a 2010 Elantra yet fraudulently declare the vehicle with a valuation of the 2006 model. The valuation officer might know the difference but connive with the agent to under-calculate the customs duty.

With the new automated VIN valuation, human interference is bypassed, loophole is blocked and the correct assessment can be made.

I actually believe in all honesty the cry is more from the tieving and bent custom agents than the Importers!

Building one mumu flyover for 4years as a Governor, is the most useless governor to rule osun!

someone in Rivers state built 5 in less than 2 years

diordaves:
This is very practicable. This approach is what we adopt here in the UK for ceiling solution. At this stage after installing, we will now joint the board lines with a jointing tape to prevent cracking and then apply Multi Finish for a smooth clean finished. (See attached photos).

What material will you now apply for a smooth finish? POP? Will you joint the board lines?

We got this in 9ja, I'm using it on mine, or will be using it on mine,

You wrote " Hope Una from the area we E dey represent ,Him carry his wife go abroad go Born".

It was the Senator's daughter that had a baby, not his wife.

it still does not change anything I wrote, What I meant was that the Elite take their wards abroad for better life while the ordinary man suffers. Simply put now I ask again how does your two poste change that fact?

aswani:
She is Senator Smart Adeyemi's daughter. Also, the father of her daughter is Tonto Dike's ex, let's not forget that please

How does that change what I said?

BullyBullies:
"Just following the bandwagon as usual" lol. I guess you're too lazy to engage Google even though it's free with mobile data. I don't have time to be schooling you about things that you can easily verify on the internet.

Like I said You are just following the bandwagon of Demsay, as regards DATA, if you aint lazy you would have realized from my post that I live in the UK so we have unlimited Data .Simple ASK you could not give a positive reply and you want to be on here to Dis someone, you lot got mad issues.
lazy youth

BullyBullies:
Google is your friend brov

In other words you have no clue, just following the bandwagon as usual

BigBashiru:
The west affords those subsidies by stealing from other countries....

Yawnsssss stale talk

Trajan:
Hello Nlers,

So, my 7 year old child recently had his British passport mailed to him in Nigeria. He now has a flight to UK coming up.

My question is, will he be allowed to board as he doesn't possess a Nigerian passport? Please, note that I paid the airline for chaperone service.
I would really appreciate answers from immigration guys or frequent travellers.

Thanks all.

yes I dnt see anything wrong with this

SmartPolician:
The government subsidizes it that's why it is cheap. Despite not being a rich country, the Nigerian government subsidizes PMS, education, electricity, housing, etc.

There is nothing wrong in subsidy, its the greed and dishonesty in subsidy that is the problem. The west subsidise virtually everything for their citizen from housing, to food to healthcare to fuel and even Education.

Nonpartisan1:
Just look at how empty a morning flight is. 50k! 100% increase in air ticket.

When I said the Airlines would suffer especially Green Africa, United Nigeria, aero contractors etc, if they went ahead to follow the bigger players in this price harmonization, people were attacking me..

Now see this

if this system continue for one month, nobody will ask them to review the price, power of demand and supply will take effect

BullyBullies:
The whole school went on strike bro. In other words, students were home for 6 months. Yes, it happened in Canada.

What's the name of the school and what year?

solasoulmusic:
Thanks for sharing. Yes add greed and power hungry and you have more deaths than improvement of sharing policies it’s your money it should create a better environment for you.

UK Unions Don't strike until there’s no choice so let’s see what happens. In Nigeria There’s no need to murder each other to gain more let people leave if they want to albeit for a small fee and leave them alone.

A lot of people talk about NURTW but over the years they’ve organized themselves well in terms of uniform and organization not as rowdy as before.

Funny enough you are right about NURTW, they have really re arranged themselves and changed the narrative. even better than NUT and ASSU.
Th teaching Unions in Nigeria re just there for rthier own pocket, once they receive back hander game over.

Bimpe29:
What a strange development in UK!

Normal, nothing strange there, even fire brigade and prison officers go o n strike

solasoulmusic:
ASUU or even the Uk every nation the world deserves to credit the foundation for the success. For those who go through school without our teachers even the registration offer how would you gain the knowledge to progress?

Dialogue is needed and work conditions need to be addressed I have gone to Nipost management for this same reason how people work affects how they perform at work how they are paid as well as the delay affects all. Unions are not about making only person rich it’s so that you are not mistreated in the name of employment.

The Unions in Nigeria don't give a shyte about its workers, all they do is collect monthly payments from members who by the way aRE NOT GIVEN ANY CHOICE THAN TO JOIN. If PEOPLE ARE GIOVEN CHOICES TO OR NOT TO JOIN unions 80% OF THEM WONT BE PART OF SAID unions.
At my place of work Im not a member of the Union there, those who are have to pay £15 monthly 2wards it direct debit.

porthouse7:
any need for ur useless rant? bin traveling in and out of Nigeria since 2010, don't always talk rubbish cos if frustration

Chill nah, travel where since 2010? you know some people travel to Togo and South Africa and claim travel out ohhhh
I come in peace.

you have to belong to UCU to strike

Toks2008:
The question you should ask is "how often do UK universities go on strike"?

not just Uni, all aspect strike, even the police and prison officers had gone on strike B4 and fire fighters, Public bodies do not go on strike rather Unions go on strike, so if you belong to no Union you wont go on strike.

Premiumwriter:
See them supporting their staffs? But over here, students feel ASUU is their enemy.

ASSU is their Enemy, what the reason for strikeare they not paid enoughIf ASSU staff are not paid when they go on strike will half of them strike for even one day??
