Don't mind them with their fake news. People will not make personal findings before they sprew rubbish.

google says 199.20 naira to the dolar
But I sent pounds to Nigeria at the rate of £1 to =N=357 this morning 0940 hrs.So anyone from teh USA here to say waht their rate is, lets forget these papers and stuff

omenka:
Lmao.

See how the Wailers all flocked to this thread to celebrate.

In the thread about the capture of Boko haram commander and the rescue of some captives, they were nowhere to be found.

In the thread about the appreciation of the naira, they were MIA.

In every thread containing good news, you find them scurry back into their dingy holes, only to crawl back out when they sniff the stench of carcass.

Your desires to see Nigeria bogged down with all manner of problems will backfire a million folds. The country will grow stronger, more peaceful, more united, and a lot more prosperous IJN, amen.

guy tell me how the capture of BH take increase my money in the Bank?

MadCow1:
My apologies.. I was just being obnoxious with my first post..

Still.. It's easy to suggest that they do this or that but the sad truth is that a whole lot has got to change.

A police officer with wife and kids (lord knows they do have em) can't be living on 37'k per month (1250 per day) and be expected to provide accommodation, shelter, education, water, food, telephone and all for his family.

The barracks can be better run and set up than this. If our Senators quarters (who are better paid and catered for and protected by the Police) don't look like this then what's the point you are making?

Army barracks are equally just as bad. Should we have them move out and go rent their own?

When you said the govt can't keep providing these barracks, I wonder what they can then provide seeing as they don't provide anything for anyone.

Please stop transferring the failures of the government to officers who do the most dangerous job on a minimum wage salary. Even Bricklayers earn better than the police.

I get yah, I'm not in anyway supportive the govt of the day regarding this issue but me and you are the govt, change starts from within.Jobs like Police,the Army and Health workers will never be valued with pay never,even in teh developed world,soldiers get paid rubbish pay.I think the police and the army should be for those who want to live in a certain way of life.Do you remember when NEPA staff where not paying electricity bills?.My point in the whole housing issue is this,somebody somewhere gets monthly allocations from teh FG in the pretense of upgrading these buildings.They pocket these monies,take away these allocation let everyone find their own accommodation kills that drain on public funds.My idea would be for the FG to directly pay this housing allowance to the officers,I think in today's money it will be up to 30K cos in 1997 it was like 20K deduction.I thought it was free until my uncle who was an officer told me nahh no way *we get deduction from our pay*
NB apologies accepted we all learn day by day,facts are hard to get but we are getting there,thanks to Internet and platforms like this,Nigerians are getting wiser.

MadCow1:
How much is the basic entry level salary of a Nigerian Police corporal sir..

As of 2010, a constable was taking about 450 thousand per annum.. That's 37500 per month.

How much can their housing allowance possibly be and what type of accommodation can it fetch them especially those in cities like Lagos and Abuja?

ok I think you just grasp a basic sense of what Im talking about ,now at 37K a month is that not more than waht teachers earn? do teachers get housing?THis is my point,they have all the options of not living in such conditions, teachers live i n lagos too,the pay their own rents too?the fact is this, Govt cannot sustaine this practice, its high time people start thinking out of the bag.My sister is a teacher and at entry level she never earned as much as my relative who was a police officer.
NB,Im not being fed by my father thank you very much, he fed me last in the uni, that was 1998,check my post,you might just get an idea of whom you are chatting to.

u are brainless

Ok tell me waht part of my post makes you think I'm brainless? lets see where you make sense cos like i said, police infrastructure is down to state level just like pry schools.

MadCow1:
Shut up your mouth before I swear that you get killed by a stray bullet..


How much is their salary?

What it the salary of an entry level officer (Corporal) in the Nigerian Police?

What is their net annual pay?

An officer killed or injured in the line of duty, what's his insurance cover payout like?

You better use reverse and park well before you price market wey you no fit buy..

Because your father is feeding you fat does not give you the right to open your overfed mouth and spill trash.

ok Im not going to repeat the insults you just poured on me but teach you basic manners,
1 police get monthly deductions from their salaries,,it was N20K monthly when I use to live at my Uncle who was an inspector,(Alausa)
2 some wise police officers opted out took the money instead and rented privately
3 Some build their own houses and moved in escaping this kind of life
4 The retrieved moneys in form of contribution form their salaries never gets invested back into the barracks,it gets absorbed by the OGA at the top
Now you may ask yourself why do they not opt out of this option,reason,
1 they like to live among police
2,they wont pay light bill
3,they wont pay for water
4,often close to work so no transport as lift to site is always on teh card
Now talking about salary, the police earn more than teachers,compare the lives of the police to that of the teachers.?
Thought for you, learn to put your point across without insulting the person cos you might learn a thing or two,I lived in a Barack for up to 5 years in Lagos, I'm talking about Alausa police Barack Ikeja near government house.

[size=13pt]THIS IS WHY GEJ SHOULD BE PROBED AND SENTENCED TO LIFE JAIL. HE WASTED OUR RESOURCES AND OUR OIL MONEY ON IRRELEVANCIES. CORRUPTION THRIVED UNDER HIS WATCH AND MASSIVE FRAUDS. IT AFFECTED THE COUNTRY SO MUCH THAT MANY STATES CANT PAY SALARIES. MANY PENSIONERS STARVED TO DEATH DUE TO GEJ'S WASTAGE. HE MUST BE PROBED. WE SOUTH WESTERNERS WILL NOT FORGIVE BUHARI IF HE LETS GEJ WALKS FREE AFTER LOOTING ALL THE PROCEEDS FROM OUR OIL SALES [/size]

I believe if your meat goes off in your fridge we will still have to probe GEJ,cos of your tribal hatred,you forget the Police is state co ntroled not fedral,your comisioner for police is responsible for that barrack and he ate all the allocation made for it, go hold your so called South westerner to justice, and while you are at dont forget to ask that teh name of TINUBU be added to the loist as he is there in the SOuth west with you.#A SOUTHWESTERNER BEING MUMU TO THE NORTHENRS COS THEY WEAR SAME CLOTHS AND SHARE SAME RELIGION SINCE AD1800

ahah Ok, them don chop well soo?

NoRetreat:
Its unfortunate. When the body is wrongly conditioned, the mind will think negatively and the body in a bid to reposition itself, will misbehave. Give them the best and expect the best.

Trust me, lose no sleep for the Police.the are as corrupt as it comes.

MrCuddles:
And we wonder why twenty naira to them is big money.

question, where they forced to stay there?dont you know they have the option to opt out to live elsewhere??

The state of the Nigerian Police Force barracks in Wadata, Makurdi, Benue State. Something should be done about this deplorable state of living by the Police. More photos after the cut..

They where not forced to stay there, they might as well move out and pay rents like the rest of everybody else.else. Im tired of all this crap bout living conditions of the Police, why cant they do same thing as teachers do, are they not civil servants? let teh govt pay back the monthly housing deduction to them and let them find and rent flats/houses of their own they can even form cooperatives to build their own homes.

Very well:

1) Alaoji Power plant, Abia State
2) Geregu Phase 2 power plant, Kogi state
3) Ihovbor Power station, Edo state
4) Olorunsogbo Phase 2
5) Omoku Phase 2
6) Omotosho phase 2
7) NIPP Sapele Power plant phase 2
Zamfara Power Plant (hydro), Bunsuru River
9) Calabar Power station
10) Egbema Power Station, Imo state.
11)Mambilla Power Station, Taraba state.

Keep in mind that I've not included the multiple Dam projects under construction across the nation by the Ministry of Water Resources under GEJ'S watch.

So....are you now satisfied? Good, now take your own advice and SHUT THE HELL UP.

No they wont be satisfied cos they have a Nokia N5 with 3inches screean

dynamitee:
I don't actually think buhari particularly did much sef, to be honest. But GEJ had 6 years to make it happen, and he didn't despite his statement that we should not vote for him if he doesn't stabilise power . For some reason, light became stable less than 2 weeks afta swearing in. Less than 2 months after that we have 3 refineries working at increasing capacity. GEJ might have started the transformation, but it was pmb that transformed whatever GEJ may have started into change that we can actually see and feel, not just pictures and videos of transformation.
I believe in results, not just telling me power is stable when I'm having to put on gen to watch news every night. if pmb could do it in 2 weeks, then GEJ could have done it sooner. Lord knows I probably would have voted for him if he had.

Look you bought into the propaganda proper,you took it line hook and sinker,read the original post again, its just another promise, its not working yet, we keep seeing and hearing I will,I will and it will it will,,the soup of electricity has been cooking since last year, it just got done and ready to serve now thanks to GEJ,what we would like is for more power stations to be built and increase our power output capacity.The refineries would work but they have not till this morning.

Sagamite:
When you have an incorruptible President who shows he is out to stop corruption with his power, this is the kind of marked increase in competence you see. People would know stealing might finish them.

When you have a cretin from Otuoke who believes it is normal to steal and goat should eat yam as President and he is known to use his power to aid corruption, the incompetence you see would be egregious. Every one would be out to steal.

Vote for good leaders and your lives might improve. Vote for cretins like GEJ and your economy would be destroyed. You will get $1 = N113,910 over time.

Govt with TINUBU at the helm of things and you said they are fighting corruption?? Seriously?

ddippset:
sometimes facts don't come in the physical. It's simple! The analogy is clear. You have 2 kings. The first one overseas a large harvest of crops and stores them in hundreds of barns while his people starve. The second king takes over and releases y the food crops and the people eat to their fill. Which of them takes the glory? Which deserves the glory? It's clear there was a deliberate sabotage in the power sector which lingered because we had a president who was know to be weak and to condone corruption and impunity. PMB came in and the saboteurs took off, knowing the era of impunity was over. Give it up, humble yourself and give the new administration the credit. You love to give gej the credit for power but shy away from giving him the stick for the devaluation of the naira when it all began to devalue in GEJ's regime! Hypocrites and wailers everywhere I look.

I do not think you analogy fits this situation as you cannot hud power generation, if you where talking about petrol and other fuel then yes.

mikeywise:
Nwanne m. Nothing I say will make u change your stance on Buhari.

Nah lie plz give us the answer, we no go vex we promise.

Activa:
You said what I wrote makes no sense.

So I asked you a question and you're pushing it back. If you don't know it then admit it and we can start talking.

The answer to that will begin to tell u why the gap between the interbank and parallel rate is that wide.

The policy of d cbn and d 41 items isn't perfect just as any other policy. But nobody has been able to provide a better alternative.

I also admitted earlier that although some genuine small cash depositors might suffer but the aim is to frustrate d unpatriotic people who make huge and obscene profits at d expense of the country.

But I can see many ignorant people here making comments and abusing Buhari as if d problem started with him.

For example, what's the relationship of '1984 economy loading' which u wrote and d subject being discussed?

In a sane economy, there should be no other bank account to buy goods abroad, all there is is my bank transfer the money abroad in local currency converted at teh market rate, charge me,I fill and sign transfer form and deal is done.No need to physically hold the Dollar or any other currency.If I have 15M naira in my bank, I should be able to pay for goods in china with my visa Debit card and charged accordingly.This is the right way to go, we do not need no physical dollar account.

To much talk we need action,all these talk do not put food on the table.

mufutau55:
It was in millions when I did the calculations. The precast is next better option than the regular concrete one. Precast is almost half the cost of the regular one.

Hajji M.

But my guess, lifting the pre cast up there,wont it be challenging?

eghosajohnny:
Hello all I'm really sorry for the delay in updating the progress on this project,well as it stands now the roof frame work has been completed and other work are going on like the BQ is ready for precast the wiring is ongoing too

I wanna ask if the roff carcass is resting directly on the parapet?

EgunMogaji:
What is the price of the block and its dimension?

Thanks.

Ok I get yah, well I'm making my own Block, Im making 6 inches solid at 35/bag, the rains at PH is a set back at the moment though.As for cost, I managed to get some guys who agreed to N900/Bag that's including stacking.

EgunMogaji:
Dimensions and price of the solid blocks, por favor el maestro.

whats the meaning of what you just wrote, i got no clue bout what you talking about guy.

Ok great stuff plan got approved
after loads of arm twisting.

WhoIBe:
Why all this refinery start to dey work all of a sudden abi nuthin first do them and men use that process take dey chew money !!!!!!! Na Wa ooooo thank God for Buhari. Now men go talk say na during Jonathan time na em the refinery start.

Bross E n eva dey work.them say E go work so make we wait first to say wen E go work and wen E go transfer to cheap fuel abi?

989900:

And is it as easily transportable to buyers when you steal crude from say Abuja or Kogi, as it is when you steal crude in the creeks?

If you tap DPK for example at some point at say Abuja, you can as well sell it at the open market right there and then -- it has no serial number -- no need to transport afar.

I know the north play northern agenda politics, especially from way before . . . but logistically and otherwise, this is hard to fault.

I see your point but that's for local boys. I will like to fro more points but I'm at work and I'm. On mobile fonetwork it would limit me on here.I got an hour to get home to my laptop.To vandalise a pipeline needs minimum of at least 5 to mobilizations boys. Security.community settlement etc the list goes on.U think it's child's play?after spending ding up to 10M do you think they want to sell to the openarea for say 1 a go?I think by now U wud av got the sense of direction I'm trying g to pont you to.Stealing g of Oil goes beyond using a hacksaw to cut pipe.

olaolulazio:
Alright, thanks. Pls compare the 2month old administration to the past administration of 6years.
God bless u!

I would not.compare reason being .it's too early.the man has not made any policy.has no full functional govt on plance. Let's go e him time.most of these end product you see manifesting are works from the past go t.let's wait for his first 100 days in office e speach. However.we are decaying the more each day.

Refined products in an insane country?

30% of us will be pipeline vandals. #pepperdonrest

Bro I come frm.the Niger Delta.I can tell U.it's easy to steal Crude than petrol. You get paid in Naira if U steal petrol but get paid in Dollars if you steal crude.do I make.any sense?

olaolulazio:
I thought GEJ said our refineries will take years before operation begins.
GEJ started it with lies but Buhari ended it.


God bless Nigeria!

But I think k that's the reality.of u check what the OP said .it's another promise. Just like he will pay 5k to u employed youths and quench BH.talk is cheap.it's a political trademark world wide.always take what politicians say with a pinch of salt.GEJ inclusive.

in d next 2years Nigerians will see Jonathan in airport and stone him.am very sure 4 dat.

ok we pray God give us the grace to see that day.we will also see of we Ai t stoning g a certain person.

How would you rather get fuel to the north, by tankers?

Or would you rather transport refined products by pipelines to the north?

in a sane country.it's. Beter to transfer refined product to the north.u want examples?
