Politics › Re: VIDEO: Nigerian’s React To The Fuel Price Hike by erico2k2(m): 1:14pm On May 13, 2016
Quakertellicus1:
So....you want us to pay for subsidy with what money?

Nigeria needs oil to be at $123 and above to pay for subsidy.

And anyway...subsidy is a waste of money...whether oil price is above 100 or below 50 USD.
You still don't get it do U??
The only thing government pay for to help the citizens in Nigeria is petrol subsidy. Nothing else. The politicians have petrol allowance all paid for by the FG.me nd you don't. So they won't feel the hike.
I'm really intrigued by some Nigerians we sure deserve the president we now have.

Additionaly, you can reduce the amount of sand you ll buy especially to sand fill the rooms etc, just simply dig the septic tanks (soak away) first, the sand will fill about 3 bedrooms (depending). If you need more sand, just dig a well and you won't need to buy any additional sand, also, there will be no need to buy water or reservoir.
In addition to the OP advice, don't waste resources by building a seperate toilet and bathroom, they can share1 small room.
Lastly, ask questions, do research, don't just collect a quote from your contractors and start sending money, confirm first and you ll be surprised how much you ll end up saving.
Good luck
Stepping on water to use the loo is dispicable but sadly thus seems to be the norm in Nigeria.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but good luck to whoever pays for an item they haven't tested. Those who would get scammed are those that aren't wise. No offence. Do your research, look for the vehicle you want to purchase, test drive it, make sure the vehicle documents are genuine and complete, pay and drive off. Is that so hard?

The OP has put pictures, an address, and a phone number. You can call him to set an appointment for inspection, instead of asking whether the car moves, or if he pushed it there. You're the kind of person that would go to a car shop to "buy" a Lexus, then when you hear the price, which you know you can't afford, you'll say "I want it in Acid Green, with Cockroach brown rims. It seems you don't have it. Never mind." I'm pretty sure you have no intentions to buy.
Madam , its obvious you are new here if not you wont address me with the 2nd paragraph MY KIND DO NOT GO TO ANY DEALER IN NIGERIA TO BUY CARS.,check my post you will realize I live in the EU.I have sold loads of cars on here when I was importing cars as a biz,so I do know what I am talking about, go back to the original post you will realize the deception from the onset, there are rooms for constructive criticism,The title says two cars, first two pictures where internet cut and paste,(not the actual cars) after much he did post a photo now of just one red with rusty brakes(I give him the benefit of doubt) with that rusty brake he claims the car is used daily.look I have been shipping cars from the EU and US since 2001 so i do k now what I am talking about,Im not saying the OP is fraud, I am just being objective and not a potential buyer.

This decision is the best PMB could have taken. Nigeria can not afford to continue paying subsidy. Nigeria is presently broke in addition to the high dollar-naira exchange rate. People condemned GEJ then because nigeria had so much during his tenure that could have built more refineries and make nigeria not to depend on imported petrol.
Bro in a sane country the Govt of the day would have cut cost ie reduce salary of the politicians, medge ministries. Save in clever ways. The only wage FG pay to the ordinary Man wen they do not work is subsidy.

Think deep.

His response is a disguised slap to Cameron and UK. It's like saying " our looters and corrupt politicians wouldn't have succeeded in looting the Treasury blind if you didn't provide them the platform to keep their loots".

Apology will not undo what Cameron said because it's the truth. The thing is, no leader is expected to disparage another country especially one you claim to be partnering with on the same course.

So, PMB is 100% correct with his response.

Did you see the thunderous applause that greeted his reaction?

Watch it bro.
But it was he PMB who first labeled Nigerians as fraudulent .did we forget so soon
Car Talk › Re: FRSC To Start Seizing Vehicles With Expired Tyres by erico2k2(m): 7:44am On May 11, 2016
olatade:
The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has announced that it would begin to confiscate vehicles with expired or substandard tyres.

According to Boboye Oyeyemi, the Corps Marshal of the agency, the measure became necessary to curb incessant road accidents usually caused by poor tyre usage in vehicles.

“What we’re going to commence immediately is that any vehicle that has expired tyres or substandard tyres, we’re going to impound the vehicles,” Mr. Oyeyemi said. “Enough is enough to this. All the crises we’re talking about from February this year to April, they were all tyre-related.

“After impounding it (the vehicle), we’ll ask the owner to go and replace it with a genuine one. The passengers we’ll arrange for their continuous journey so as to reduce the pains. But I will not allow an expired tyre fitted on a vehicle to continue the journey,” Mr. Oyeyemi said.

He also decried the lack of tyre manufacturing companies in the country and appealed to appropriate authorities to do their utmost best in ensuring that the situation is addressed.

“It’s not a problem that started today, we’ve been raising this alarm since Dunlop and Michelin shut down in Nigeria and relocated,” the FRSC boss said.

“So it’s a result of this that led to over 250 different distorted substandard tyres in the country today and we appeal to Manufacturers Association of Nigeria and Nigerian Association of Chamber of Commerce Industry Mines and Agriculture to do their very best in looking into this and see how tyre manufacturing plants can be brought into life.

He spoke at a Stakeholders' forum in Abuja.

I read the report too. It was not only rude to Buhari, but very very rude to Nigeria as a whole. As soon as I finished reading the article, I had to google all UK aids we receive. I wonder where the aids were going and which Nigerians were benefitting. If I had my way, I would stop all AIDS coming from UK.
We support UK economy in many many ways. Take out Nigerian students and see how UK tertiary education suffers. We are partly funding our own collective insults.
The article was also quoting some PDP sponsored websites to discredit Buhari. I dont know which university in UK that charges 26000 GBP per year. I studied there, and except Medicine, no other course is charging near 20,000 GBP. None of Buhari's children is known to read Medicine.
I know you mean well, but just to tell you our leaders deserve these insult, just wait for how long it will take for PMB to run back to UK,would he withdraw his daughter from that school as protest? Would the ministers stop going to the UK for treatment and medical trips /check up?
If NO then they deserve more than these insults.

My guy, our leaders are the most greedy people on earth. I wonder what signs they have shown you to make you believe so much in resource control. We have NDDC, ND ministry, 13% derivation and our statutory allocation is about the highest in the country yet we keep complaining. We have been able to do next to nothing with what we have. If our leaders have been honest with us, we would be the most developed region by a thousand miles.

Let me assume you are a Christian and draw your attention to a story in the bible that told of a master who gave talents to his servants before embarking on a journey. Two of the servants worked with what they had and grew their portions. It was this that motivated the master to entrust them with more!

Our leaders have not proven to us that they can do that so entrusting them with more is just a way of giving them more to steal. I hope you get my point?
Me and you are the leaders, the LG would manage what they have and pay tax to the state govt, I know they politicians are all rotten but there comes a time when people would ask serious questions. This is the case in all advanced nations of the earth. But other states will excel in whatever they have as well then that story in the bible WOULD MANIFEST.

It's quite disheartening to note that in the age of accessible information, the basic skill of comprehension is proving elusive to some.

I said: "they can not even be compared to the Boko Haram guys, who had a large expanse of land to their advantage. The Niger delta itself is not that big"

Boko haram like I said earlier, has access to 60,000 square kilometres or 23,000 square miles of Sambisa forest, which straddles four states in the North east, Yobe, Borno, Gombe and Bauchi. Plus cross-border access to Cameroon, Chad and Niger. Maybe you are trying to say that the ND is bigger than Sambisa plus parts of four countries.

Kindly enlighten me on how you would escape a foe with aerial power when you are surrounded by waters and fast crafts.




Nigeria infact has more than that on our ISR platforms, as far back as 2014 plus the arrival of CH4 drones late 2014 with precision munitions.
well I hope you are not one of those who claimed all the money for Arms where converted to YAMS for the goats lol, since we have all this.

The FG has it's blames, yes but Niger-Delta needs purposeful leadership to steer the society away from the excessive feeling of entitlement which is capable of causing a social disaster for us. Take Cross-River for example: they don't produce oil again(little if at all) since they lost some oil wells to Akwa-Ibom but look at what their state Govt. Is doing... We need that to be replicated throughout the region. May God help us.

You are very funny.

The US Vietnam war was fought by a foreign millitary against the Vietnam military, which at that time was a cold-war proxy war. Hence the support of the North Vietnamese military by the Soviets, Chinese, Cubans, North Korean and others. Not the same scenario with the Niger-Delta Avengers who are practically facing a military with their d1cks on their hands, they can not even be compared to the Boko Haram guys, who had a large expanse of land to their advantage. The Niger delta itself is not that big, and unlike in the dessert where you can dig tunnels to hide from the military drones, you can't do same in the creeks because of the makeup of the soil. They can't hide, the heat signature is more pronounced near water with thermal vision enabled kits.
Where is the thermal imaging technology? We don't even have Night vision googles yet hehe.

Oil dependency is not good.



Which brings me to this quote...



We have been here several times before. And the reason why the bombing is going on is because Nigeria has not spent enough on techincal education....since we can just import technical skills from outside the country with oyel money....meaning that a lot of our youths leave school with no marketable skills.That is why many of the are running into the bush and blowing things up..

We can no longer rely on oil. Time the government faced facts and spent more on power and transport in this budget .....even if it means taking loans....so that we can forget oil....and solve our youth, unemployment and other problems with innovation and technology.
Only if they the FG will agree
