Prayer is a different ball game bro; but even at that, you don't need to be told that it is not everyone who closes their shops to pray that actually wants to close their shop to pray. People do things just to conform to the desires of their environment; nobody wants to be labeled 'ekwensu' for not adhering to prayer times, same way nobody wants to be labeled 'Sabo' for disobeying sit at home orders. You should know this!

I dnt agree with that.therr is a passion . We as individuals should recognise . I'm frm the ND if you tell people of my extract ie in PH or warri to sit at home trust me you will get reactions already online ie even on NL things like Nah U dey feed me.who you epp amongst other replies . .Can Jagaban tell anyone in Lagos to sit at home ? Without paying them?don't we know what will happen ?
As for the prayer bit . U r wrong again . They do This out of thier own heart not fear or favour . No one is going to call U names.I schooled in the East so learnt a lot from this unity .

obailala:
Over 75% of the people who obey these sit at home orders dont necessarily do so out of solidarity; rather they obey the orders out of fear of being harrassed by miscreants if they go out..

By asking people to "disrgard the sit at home" order, the police is simply saying people should not be scared of going about their normal businesses. How is that statement a joke?

Nah I dnt think so.who enforces the no trade during the prayer times then?
I'm saying this is one point these traders unite . .its not out of fear . I wish the rest of is can be this passionate about our own idealogy . Ie the Niger Dweltans . We could hold the FG of the day to account

ivoryhouse:
Many car manufacturers fit even heavier systems..Dodge fits Beats by Dre systems and subs, Jeep does in their Wrangler, should I go on?

As standard?
I dnt think so

Nixxxx:
Guys am looking to buy a car soon and I such a huge music lover, I have had the opportunity to listen to some sound stereo systems on various car brands like Mercedes and Toyota, though have not been too impressed. So I want to know from experience which car brand or maybe model has the best stereo sound?

Buy any car and put an aftermarket system with a good SUB, thank me later.

realmindz:
You have sense, the guy forming unnecessary pity party and crocodile tears. No one has the right to command a sit at home order.. Obviously they will threaten business activities of innocent citizens, police has every right to interfere to ensure no one is harassed.
The comments from people on this forum shows many people are ignorant.

I dont think you are familier with teh East, simply go there during mass and see how everyone stop to pray.Simply put , sit at ho me means sit at home, no shop would open, them lot are united like that, Im not Igbo or from the East but I have witnessed enough of all that unity amongs market traders in the East.I dont think banks would be affected as they have no control over it but the shops will.Transporters too.

Yyeske:
Read it up again, nobody is coming for you if you're lazily sitting in your house, what is been talked about is that.....
People are free to move as they wish and nobody has any right to disrupt their movement.

Did you read the part where it says people should disregard the other to sit at home?Does it not sound like a Joke?

Why Manslaughter? it should be Murder

poseidon12:
I know many that earn zero naira per day.

SO they eat grass or everything they eat is free right?
Do not forget we are talking waht people live on not waht they earn.What people earn in Nigeria does not reflect the true pocket power of their day to day expenditure.

Bizzyliss:
nothing like that oga na nigeria we dey. Problem is wen u didnt pay anything or driving with forged papers

This was what I meant, your papers are waht forged papers are.Its a duplicate of a case file, thats how they do it, if the original owner ever finds out, you would be found wanting,.You might not understand waht Im saying but if you have been on the Auto section of Nairaland as I have you will understand.
If U know U know!

UrbanMetahuman:
good boy.. now read the post you initially jumped on to like a puma 100 times. and point to the wrong assumption.

Your brain is dumb . U think I will waste my time arguing with a low life who can't be assed to know subsidy was the root of downfall of said country with people pointing you still to up to date news frm that country . Your jammed coconut head refuse to absorb . Nah people like una dey score 2/20 for job interview .

iammo:
if some state can owe 10 months salary, and you are here doubting how people leave on 15k, lol

if they dont have another source of Income, wont they be dead by now

UrbanMetahuman:
[s][/s]this is why i hate educating stupiid people.

do you even know what subsidy means. how does it relate to the nonsense you posted?

yes Sir, I do its when the Gov of the day pays the diff in price for its citizens to buy the said product cheap.
How it relates to your nonsense is this, the Ven Fg head Nicolas Maduro, is cutting down the Subsidy, the price hike as we speak is up to 600% to checkmate a 50% Inflation.I seriously do not know what you are ranting about, I si mply corrected ur assumptions that there arent no subsidy in Venuzuela.

Mgbadike80:
the school cleaners earns 14k, similar to the school gate men. that's less than #500 per month. a relative teaching in the village earns 12k. all missionary schools.

your relative teaching in the village earn 12k?? waht kinda school?
the point Im trying to fling accross is this, these people have secondary source of Income, some even farm etc, its impossible to live on N12k with no additional support!

iammo:
many youth corpers earn 18k but leave on 15k after data, and transport. 500 × 30 days = 15k. Legion security guard earn 17k and guard estates

1st off NYSC is2nd you seriously think thats all they live on and do not have additional income,
Look you are talking people who eat at least two times a day, have kids going to school, wives and pay rent transport plus Bills,.The reality is this only people who live on the streets who do not have jobs and no hope live bellow that stat.

UrbanMetahuman:
[s][/s]venzuala is not in economy mess because they subsidize fuel. fuel is cheap in venezuela because they have one of the biggest oil reserve in the world and they refine their own oil unlike here where we import refined oil. venezuela doesnt subsize oil.

economic mess is as a result of over dependent on oil instead of diversification.

Plz and Plz DO not embarsss urself this way, you could have at least do a 5 mins reserach B4 U post this .Venuzuella are in deep mess, evryone is leaving, They cant even afford to get thier own Int passport to migrate to Ecuador.Listen to CNN

Mgbadike80:
dollar =#360(approximately) which is about #10,800 per month. Many Nigerians earns about #8,000 monthly salary and still have to cater for their dependants. I believe that you have good intentions but mistakenly support a lie. A Nigerian private school teacher (the most common jobs for university graduates nowadays) lives on less than a dollar ( or less than a dollar and half using the latest calibration) when you factor in his or her dependants. that is for those lucky enough to have a job.

you keep quoting $ lets leave that issue aside, I have asked you thesame question over and over again,who do you personaly know that earn N500 a day? Mechanics earn above that,All labourers earn above this rate,My security aka Watchnight and watchday I pay them 30k monthly,
the driver who doeas drop for the Mrs Shop earn minimum from us N29k in a month, My Mrs pays her stylist in her studio N18K per month, the girls at the saloon take home minimum of 18 k, the manager gets 25 k.My boys at the shops get minimum of n20k minus feeding which I provide as lunch, Thats people arround me, Now tell me those arround you that supports ur argument.

mexioni:
Venezuela have refineries that are functional to an extent, agreed. But come on that price is teribly too cheap, as for Nigeria u and i know there is a gang taking our refined fuel outside this country and they are cashing badly. If we don't work on border controls even insecurity challenges will perish us as a nation. If thw whole world our price is the 7th least its not bad.

They do not, that is the issue, the cant run it.No money

grandstar:
Truth is that the cheap petrol cost so much to subsidised in countries with huge populations and leave big gaps in the government purse.

If Nigeria ends the subsidy regime, it would save over a trillion naira

yep Ie in Venuzuela the cost is up to 90%

iammo:
$1 per day is N10,800 per month. how much is fuel attendants, salesgirls and petty traders earning, how much is the minimum wage? how much do corpers earn? how much do police constable to sergeant earn? don't this people also have dependant who don't even earn anything.

Now subtract the salary of average Nigerian workers and traders from Rent cost and transport. and honestly tell me how many people in Nigeria leave above $1.90 per day

Im talking reality, I did not want to go into all them people you mentioned hence I asked you a specific question,Who do you know that earn N500 a dayU mst lnow one person if its that established.

theoldpretender:
OK....

It costs N170 to import one liter of fuel.

Marketers meanwhile sell fuel at N145.

Govt pays them or it is supposed to pay them the difference of N25 per liter...but can't.

Marketers cannot make profit...so smuggle fuelout of the country to places like Benin and Ghana where fuel is sold at higher prices...to balance their books.

Simples.

(And FFS...I am not defending any government....I am telling the truth that we cannot sustain a subsidy regimen, and we should have deregulated since 2012...when GEJ tried to raise prices!)

Like I said your Info is wrong and full of assumptions, who told you or how did you deduce petrol is imported @170

theoldpretender:
Hmmm

I can see some Nigerians looking at Venezuela and admiring their price of N4 perliter.

What they don't know is

1.Veenzuela is depleting their foreign reserves by keeping fuel at N4 due to overspending on subsidy.

2.Here is how a subsidy works. Government tells you to sell your fuel at a low price, and pays you the difference...preventing you from making a profit. As a result...you lose money.

3.Venezuela is in an economic mess.

And this is what some Nigerians want. Wake up.

NUmber 2 is ridiculously WRONG, where did you gert that from??

LuciferKristi:
It's not about the cost. It's whether the citizens can afford it.

Most Nigerians survive on less than $1 daily, how many can afford fuel at its current cost?

Dont always believe evrything you read, howmany people do you personaly know who earn N300 per day ??

rottenPussy:
I will just step up on my budget. Can you specify the year of this car?

Thats the newest Model for the VW Golf, so I say 2012 till date

Bizzyliss:

munas:
I have been watching Oviecardealer thread here on nairaland over the years from a distance and i have been contemplating doing business with him.

Well the money came in early this year and in february,i deceided to give him a try.

After several discusions with him on the phone,we met one on one in lagos,entered into an agreement and hit the way to Cotonou.

Come see sea of cars....i was even confused.

But this oviecardealer guy is the real deal....he helped me pick my choice.

last last i we paid for my SUV and i returned back to lagos to wait for the delivery of my stuff.

I have to delay his service charge payment this he delivered the SUV to me with FULL customs papers.

Here are the pictures of my new machine....

how did he get full custom papers even when land border was termed Illegal?
DID he Ship the car via Ro ro from benin Rep to Lagos?

PrimadonnaO:
To be sincere, I don't know what the boy did for a living. His younger sister was my secondary school classmate and we have so many mutual friends and we grew up in the same town.

It just feels somehow to have people talking about him like that.

What he does for living is not a secrete, Is he not a SaffiWhat he does is practice amongst all his mates, But the reason for the killing wont be far from what he does!This is not cultism,

Juliusmalema:
