EazyMoh:
Thank you, anyway what is done is done. While Faye is banning livestock grazing other governor's are donating thousands of hectares of land for the grazing program. When something good for the states materialize in the future in form of employment and business opportunities, I hope Ekiti people will not complain. I rest my case.

Who is donating .

abusurv:
The police,DSS,military,and civil defense are all under the control of the president and they carried out order giving to them by the president.Which police is fayose going to use to enforce the law? As far as I know there's no state police only vigilantes and that too has to apply to the police to get license to carry gun . this does not mean I am in support of what the Fulanis are doing am just being realistic.

Why are you talking as of U ain't Nigerian .u forgot you can be arrested if your activity is termed as bridging the peace ? So definitely cattle movement those would be bridging the peace .

EazyMoh:
You have a point, but you can't compare animal grazing with sale of alcohol. One is ancient profession that is embedded in a people's culture and livelihood, the other is a sacrilege people living in a particular location dislike and prohibited long in history.
And do you think Alcohol is the only un-islamic trade/activity that is happening in the north? If all the things prohibited by Sharia were to be imposed no non-muslim could live comfortably in the north.

Acient ? Well not drinking alcohol is acient too.u can't pick and chose . If can't abide by the state rules stay off . This si what alcohol drinking people had done to them states . They lost that right when they began to kill and rape people all in the name of one Nigeria.

Great news.Now some people can get on with the Biz of moving the Economy forward . No more excuses cos last we checked the NDA where responsible for low energy outage and shortfall in forex

EazyMoh:
State Laws versus federal laws, this bill ain't going nowhere. A Nigerian has a constitutional right to move around in to any part of the country lawfully.
*modified
All those people quoting me and saying;
1. Fulani are roaming with guns. I believe not just Fulani but anybody in possession of AK47 if not a security agent is a terrorist and should be arrested. I have personally never seen a Fulani wielding one.
2. Fulani are destroying people's farmlands, I don't know which state in Nigeria is that legal? Anybody found vandalizing people's farmlands should arrested.
BUT you can't deny people their means of legitimate livelihood for political reasons.

Try to think rational at times,States have rights to prohibit certain activities within its borders,You forgot up north certain states its illegal to drink sell alcohol?

rusher14:
I can tell you that I always get my forex from standard chartered bank mostly on the Island but sometimes in the Ikeja area without any hitch.

Even when the policy was that you couldn't use your cards abroad and all that, I never had any issue withdrawing from my dorm account over the counter.

Please do you mind stating where your bank is situated not necessarily the branch?

Do you operate a forex current account alongside your Dorm account?

Someone said SKYE Bank, so waht are you gonna do about it??

hamingra:
You are not saying the truth. If a bank tells you it doesn't have dollars to pay you, how then do you claim that they had converted your dollar to naira in your account! I have a DOM account and my bank tells me same thing but they advice I go to Abuja or any other state branch of their bank where the have enough dollar to give out.

Make you dey lie small small

Does this statement of urs make any diff? what he said is something you are now saying infact they gave him the option of collecting in Naira at waht rate, thats another kwesionnn

spyder880:
My brother, I started storing materials since a long time o

I knew dollar will rise so I started storing everything.

If you see my home store ehh

I wish I saw this coming, infact now i will start storage

spyder880:
Bros how far, just that I get too much work lined up. I had to rush in this morning to buy from unsuspecting sellers who may not have heard the news but failed. However I bought another 100 bags from a far market at N2000 in Enugu today.

I also swooped on iron rods today, got about 8 tons or more paid and waiting for when I will need it. We just need to be proactive in this regime.

Howmany Y16 makes one tone?
howmany Y12 makes one tone
I have come to realize I need 300Y12 and 100 Y16 to deck my build

spyder880:
One major dealer tipped me off and I paid for 1000 bags of cement at N1450 last week. If you see how I dey laugh like person wey win lottery today

I store cement at major dealer stores, I pay for larger quantities and pick them up in 100 and 50s .

We will not take this *in Orubebe's voice*

jossy26:
^^ so how do the manufacturers and importers store the product? Or you think cement is sold the same day it s produced?

Might be stored in moisture free zone ie semi vacum

gbadexy:
It's almost impossible. Cements generally have best use before duration from production date.
It still absorbs water vapor. The moisture content increases and it's strength reduces.
Same thing with gypsum cement or any material that react by hydration. There is partial hydration from vapor already.
I think the standard is within or less than 6 months.

This is what I thought

Immarocks:
why on earth will someone rent such a house y not just use d money n buy a house worth dat amount...rent oooo it doesn't make sense

may I ask you waht kind of house would someone of similar taste Build with N12M
when a bag of cement is above 2k , Y16 is now 2400 plus, finishing, hmm nor even go there
when you do start to build in this modern times, you will appreciate this house

jossy26:
Cement can be stored for as long as you want just make sure you don't allow any kind of moist to go near

nah how to prevent moisture be the koko

back2sender:
Oga erico2k2 this not acceptable at all. This is a reaping off by the cement manufacturers, Govt should allow importation of cement to force down the price because Dango baba and CO dont have any basis to increase this, naa dem dey enjoy this forex regime of this government and electricity dey.
The volume of construction has gone down so there should be a fall in the price and not increase.

The thing tire man oh, The reason for teh ban on importation was to encourage local production but it seems its working against us.One man controls the cement industry.

Dieumerci:
From what I got from a distributor:

Dangote has not officially increased the price of cement but the company has refused to accept fresh payment since mid last week.

According to the distributor, it is either the company has issues with their banks or they may be planning to increase the price.

The increase we are experiencing is because the major distributors are hoarding the cement.

Once they started accepting payment, we can then tell whether the increment would remain or not.

#Ok thats kinda refeshing, make we siddon look wetin dem go comeout with but mainwhile work goes on

jossy26:
The price will come down in a while, the increase is not sustainable

Chk oh, the increase is in the rainy season where construction is low, dry season construction goes up and demand same, waht happens then

HungerBAD:
Where is my Sister Stella Oduah?

I just asked after her and nothing else. Okay,back to the Subject. I don't care who whines about my statement,but the epileptic state of our Airports can be traced to the last 16 Yrs of PDP Rule.

This Government is working on restoring our Airports to her former Glory,and it is a work in progress.

if it was this bad at any of the last 16 years your statement would have made sense,who is now in charge?

olapluto:
But why the sharp increase. I still dont have any reasonable explanation. Is Dangote importing cement now? Naira did not drop by 50% now. Is it just market panic? Cement always tend to stabilize though. Should I pause work on site or carry on?

Ah U know its raining now so when it comes to dry season, demand might drive it up even higher, so we should just swallow the pill and move on.This is beyond our control.

ANBAKO:
My source told me it will be above 2000 NGN.

My advise, if you have money you can buy some.

Its up already i n PH, they added N600, making it N2200, and I heard its going up more, shame we cannot store cement as much as we would love ot if not I 4 store them like now

olapluto:
Hello my people. My site engineer just called me to tell me cement now sells for 2,600 naira! Is this a joke or something? We were about to make blocks from 80 bags of cement. That is an extra 80,000 naira to send. Please people is this a momentary thing? Will the prices drop tomorrow or next week?

Site Location: Ibadan (Poly area).

Nor B joke oh,I just bough same for my work like just now, we don DIE

mecussey:
Na still white man go tell them the value of the things they uproot. Left to them alone, they know nothing about and can't use it for anything. Before 1940, oil was flowing in ogoni land like river and everybody dey avoid am like plague, now its one of the things tearing the country apart. Left to abokkkki alone, what use is Nickel, now some of people will soon die because of this. What has black Africa contributed to the world so far, nothing. Left to me, i suggest we rent africa out to China or russia at least for 10yrs, let see what they will make out with it. I am begining to think the garden of eden is hidden somewhere in Africa and unfurtunately, it is impossible for the empty head politically roted black African to notice.

Guy you wan kill me with laugh, Rent Africa to China

MDsambo:
Does oil stop the south from arm robery, raping, cultism, baby factory stuff, kidnaping?

So all those Ills you mentioned only occur in the south abi? Recieve brain abeg its almost Month End.

oduastates:
I heard about this 3 weeks ago.
90% purity and unbelievable spread
A semblance of conventional Nigerian governance is returning gradually.
Like I said in one thread,Things are happening.
Those people stuck in the cities and waiting for their pastors and Imams to prey to aliens to provide a useless jobs for them are wasting the opportunities.
Every lack is an opportunity.
Nigeria wasted $1.5 billion on importing fruit juice last year.
Likewise wasted billions of US dollars importing
milk,
chocolate,
liquor,
petrol,
diesel,
petrochemicals
Rice
Sorghum
Tomatoes
building materials made of clay and mud
Cotton and textile.
Cooking utensils made of ceramic.
Cutlerry made from iron, brass and aluminium.




Then you wonder why you do not have jobs?
The last government even went as far as giving away import waivers to these items.Thereby depressing the local economy further.
Like Jonathan said, no one knows better than the IMF and world Bank.
Hopefully we can move from the conventional to a more international standard of governance.
Put this ,gold,tin,aluminium and iron on nitro and the country is well on her way to giving oil the finger.

This has been teh situation for years, but you might just be surprised, they have been mining these minerals underground for years without paying nothing to the FG and nah Dem Dem, the Ogas at the top de do am.What happened to the bitumen in the SW?

Keneking:
Finally...

He said “I have managed over 8,000 workers, 16 companies and have two national honours. And when you talk of integrity, I have first class integrity.

All these qualifications are insufficient to govern Ondo democratically

Useless qualifications

Not only that, waht has he contributed to Ondo state with all that wealth? he just want to Enrich himself, if he is being honest, he is already rich why would he want to take a pay cut cos from last I check he earns more than the state governor.

01Mysticdon:
I just got to know that they were hit by a bus few hours ago.
What I'm trying to say is that those boys are criminal elements, they must be stopped. They have killed many.

well was this not what I said B4 U said was talking shyt

01Mysticdon:
if you live in onelga/ahoadawest/east you wouldn't be saying this sh*t.

My house is not 2 far frm there so whats ur point?
if you check as well you would have know these guys where hit by a Bus,if truly you live near there you for one should know the real gist instead of hear-say

MrAldrick:
Mr man i support the Nigeria Security operatives and also understand how these selfish igbos from the South East cover crime but as a Rivers man (Ikwerre) i can comfortably tell you that these people killed are different from that of the Nigerian Army clash with militants were boats were abandoned at Okrika axis not Ahoada as you fill.

U k now nowadays anyone killed is labelled a militant in the ND

01Mysticdon:
the NA must have known their camp now since they have confronted them twice.
The thing is that Wike don't want the army to root the boys out, he wants to use them for the next election probably.

Its Sunday Receive sense Plzzzzz

MrTruth4real:
These guys engaged in a gun battle with the army, wat do u expect. These guys are cultist causing havoc in their own community and they deserve their end, this is not govt fault there are other youth from niger delta doing well but these one's chose violent.

recharge and look up 6 post on top of you, what happened was laid bare there,They where hit by a Bus, and half dead, do haafl dead people xchange ?

mastro:
Any update on this project?

Sourcing parts still, cos its more recent, its proven a bit hard.

WiseFool2:
I guess you mixed the part where the OP said he and his boys attacked oil workers effecting repairs on damaged pipelines. Cultists wouldn't do that, only militants who blew up the said pipelines would wanna stop the repairs.

these are criminals, who have been terorising these comunities, they will do anything to make money.If you ask anyone from Rivers or Beyelsa, Armed Robbers are scared to go Rob where Ex militants live, this is a well know fact.These Militants would have a balance of nothing less than N10m in thier banks, cos they have been selling Oil since God know when and doing devide and kill with the NA in the creeks,Do U know howmuch it cost to buy ur way as an Officer to be posted to the creeks to serve?plus they have to make returns to Oga at the top via Monkey leave, make we leave matter for mattias,Dont worry one day in the very near future we will see teh real faces of the people who are gaining from these Militancy and Oil theft I am very sure we all will be shocked.
