The raw materials (crude oil) is not free. It's costed at global dollar rates. Refineries are not block making factories or pure water shops, they are very costly to run and staff are paid at global competitive rates. Aside that, if we sell cheap, it'll only encourages the continued smuggling to neighboring countries. Our PMS is still very cheap compared to the rest of the world. What we need to work on is the exchange rates coming down. Exchange rates have an effect on PMS rates. The global price of PMS is about $1 per liter. Simple maths is that we're selling at about 57cents because a dollar is about 1,750. If a dollar is about 1000, fuel prices will come down. It's not a charity.

I can't just stand idiotic takes like these anymore. So to avoid smuggling you keep increasing the price instead of sacking custom boss and appointing new ones that will be forced to do their job? Petrol is not cocaine that traffickers swallow, it's transported in tankers, how hard is it to stop and arrest the offenders? In your retarrded logic, to stop a crime you punish the general public instead of going after criminals?

Fuel is not cheap in Nigeria, don't be idiotic. When this administration came in dollar was 450 calculate that with the current price of fuel and it will be almost 3 dollars which is one of the most expensive in the world. A moronic government took over, tanked the currency, raised the price of everything by 500% and then turned around to tell that it's still cheap when you compare it with the exchange he already destroyed and you are here regurgitating the same nonsense. If I konk that your empty head now...

PressMyButton:
Bitter Obi also congratulated the depot for commencing operations

what is the use of the refinery if they going to selling for higher price than Dangote?

Why is Nigerian government trying hard to raise price of fuel? Private citizen Dangote is selling for 970 and government is selling for 1k+

Ever8090:
It really feels good to be in those markets back in the days untill Northern elites decided to scatter the region ... today, Hausas and Fulani that were considered the most honest people in Nigeria are becoming the most deadly criminals you will never pray to encounter

they've always been deadly and and criminally minded. Just that now they have turned their animalistic behavior on themselves. How many southerners did they lynch because of slight infraction on their religion? How is any of them better than Boko Haram? They all kill for their religion

wiseone28:
This one na story in some months time we will only check last time we defeated you nobody will ask who and who didn't play.. You may not even qualify for group stage sef

I was only responding to the person saying the coach outsmarted whatever. Of course Liverpool won fair and square and madrid was garbage but still it's because of the players. Real madrid aren't even 30% on a norms majority of those bums will be forgotten on the bench and Mbappe is total garbage.

Wordson:
dey deceive urself..
Our number 1 goalkeeper Allison absent
Jota Absent
Elliot absent
Trent Absent
Chiesa Absent

Talk another one...
Oga collect ur L and move on

how many times have Liverpool beaten Real Madrid with those players you mentioned playing?

wiseone28:
I think Sunday match against Man City should be shifted so that we won't hear excuses

what excuse? Everything I said are facts. Have Liverpool beaten Real Madrid in the last 6 years? Did those players I mentioned play today? This is one of the weakest real madrid team I've ever seen. It wasn't some tactical genius or anything Real madrid just didn't have players. You think on a normal day Ascencio, Guler Modric will play even 5 minutes?

kinibigdeal:
What is half squad? Liverpool is also not playing with a complete squad just like the overrrated Madrid. They met their match. So you think this is Klopp that play one dimension game and can easily be predicted. Slot simply outsmarted your coach and render your team useless

how many times have Real madrid played Liverpool in the last six years? This is the only time they've won. You obviously don't watch Real madrid that's why you are talking. A kid from the academy playing cb, midfielder playing RB, no Vinicius, Rodrygo, Tchoumeni Militao, Carvajal. Liverpool fans know this is an extremely weakened madrid

eldoradoxx:
South East and South South regions are already conspiring and forming alliance with the North to edge out South West from presidency come 2027 even if it means a Northerner taking power back. It is payback time to retaliate what the SW did to Jonathan. Tinubu was meant to be a Southern President but he has turned it to South West presidency . Besides that, Tinubu is a massive failure and should never have been allowed to be President.

it's not even a matter of payback. Tinubu simply doesn't know how to be president. He's better off as a party leader. Anybody should be president in 2027, anybody but him

SmartPolician:
Instead of power returning to the north, Tinubu should just continue. It's insane for a Northerner to think they'll return to power 4 years after Buhari incompetently ruined Nigeria's economy.

anybody but Tinubu should be even if it's a northerner. Nigerian politicians need to start facing consequences for rascality and stupidity. Tinubu winning second term will just solidify the belief that as president you can do whatever you want

GloriousGbola:
in nigerian terms, david hundeyin is going to pay over 200 million naira in damages for defamation of character

if you think he has escaped this because he is not working or living in the uk - think again.

it means he cannot flee to the uk again

it also means he cannot earn any money in the uk as it will be immediately garnished.

if kiki and charles really want to turn the knife in, they can likely follow up with banks he uses where ever he resides and throw the garnishee order on them .

when david hundeyin was writing long 'expose', it was not too long to read

https://davidhundeyin.substack.com/p/journalism-career-graveyard-the-bbc


the original article is still up. the guy has a literal death wish.

they can do anything except he moves to the UK. Lots of people are owing courts even in countries where they reside. 1kobo those people won't see.

I don't like that David at all but those feminists on Twitter and their oyinbo handlers are a menace to the society. This David of a guy has annoyed too many people so lots of people will celebrate his misfortune.

There's no judgement. God wouldn't have time for those petty things.

Which is good for South East. Why is the government collecting taxes on the food you bought from restaurants with your own money?

Basicend:
Even if the north does not vote for him in 2027, he will spend / bribe his way in. At any cost.

Tinubu is a die-hard and over-skilled politician. He knows the ground game well enough. Only God came remove him IMO at this time.

I don't see any proof of this. He barely defeated a PDP was divided into 3. If they stick together and bring a popular northerner, they will beat him black and blue. Even the likes of El Rufai that helped him have been abandoned. If the likes of kwankwaso, El Rufai, Lawan Atiku, Obi all work together and drop their pride they'll easily boot him out

Carndidlaydid:
All the male souls in your family should be locked up

You collected the money with joy but to pay back now is problem...

shut up your mouth. Which person on earth borrow money with joy? Are you retarrded or something? The risk of doing loan business is the possibility of the debtor not paying back. If the guy had money do you think he would have borrowed? They should cope until he gets the money to repay

happney65:
The Chaos that will so pervade the Trump administration will be so massive it will be so delightful to watch..

Dude doesn't care about competency, all he cares about is YES MEN who will prope him up as a Dictator who nobody questions

Because if not that you're crazy,why would you nominate a paedophile as Attorney General?

Anyways,this is just the beginning.

most elites are pedophiles.

IGBOPROMISE1:
As if their votes will count! You people don't know what you've let yourselves in for...You think Tinubu is GEJ? One thing that will work in his favour this time around (2027) is that he now has a inexhaustible pool of funds which hungry Nigerians would be queuing up for. Remember poverty has been weaponised!

nonsense. Tinubu is the most overrated politician in the country. If northerners decide not to vote for him he will not be reelected

Edojoma:
I will use drug cartel gang as an example.

Informant in a cartel is a policeman/anti drug agent dat is well trained and sometimes always put on wire. And he is planted there by d anti drug angency to get information about d organization like their leadership structure, modus operandi, cells, and so on.


While a snitch is someone already in d cartel, working with u, sometimes for years but is giving out information to anti drug agency with monetary reward, or blackmail dat he won't be investigated or jailed wen dey take d cartel down, or using d security of his family to get info from him.

So in conclusion, a snitch is someone dat is in ur team dat has a deal with d anti drug agency

While an informant is someone planted by d angency and it's usually his job not an agreed deal or gain.

they're the same thing, it depends on the person describing them. A policeman will never call anyone a snitch, they'll call the person informant while the criminals will do the opposite

pretydiva:
I sha hope this man knows what he’s doing.

governance isn't hard. Nigerian politicians are just lazy

Govocrete:
Just walk away. I experienced that in Asaba when I was relocating to Lagos. The landlord refuse rorefund my caution fee (#150,000).

I was already in Lagos when I told me staff to move my things, after that I demanded for my refund and the landlord refuse on the ground that the outside wall was stained and there were stain on the pop ceiling due to water leakage which was not my fault.

See the picture of the outside wall, it was a foot print of a stray cat. He said I need to repaint the entire house in and out before he will refund. I just walked away.

any agent just mention that fake fee I will just tell them to not worry. It's a scam. There's no way anyone can live in a house for year without there being changes. The paint can even peel on its own, door handles can stop working if you give anybody that money they'll always be able to come up with excuse

yoruboid:
Just imagine states were allowed to collect and control their VAT

Apart from Anambra, which is just about N700m higher, Ekiti has more VAT revenue than all the states in the SE

being fleeced by corrupt politicians is not a flex. What have the government done to warrant them charging taxes on food and drink you bought with your money?

The government doesn't deserve all the taxes they impose on people. In my place, no light, no road, we sink our own borehole for water, we buy fuel to power generator. What exactly have the government done to warrant them collecting percentage of the food and drink I bought with my money?

calabaman:
Plain disgusting.

Hope it's well prepared and the poisonous parts removed.

Gosh who eats snake meat!

Pukes!

Nlfpmod over to you

Modified...I knew this would make fp.

Wait a minute, were is lalasticala...is he there partaking of this disgusting meal?

I hate anything snake but snake is not poisonous, it's venomous. Venom is different from poison. Venom can't harm you even if you ate it, you need to be bitten and the venom injested into your blood for it to affect you while poisonous animals like certain frogs will harm you if you ate them but won't do anything if they bit you

What makes her a terrorist? Has she hurt any innocent person? If we could all carry guns here in Nigeria herdsmen would've been thinking twice before attacking people

Boko Haram in kaduna? I thought they said they were in North East

Sonnobax15:

Africa with our gum-body mentality..

dalass:
Buhari removed subsidy before leaving, he didn't provide for subsidy beyond June 2023. He postponed the evil day and set a booby trap for Tinubu.

The debt he borrowed, and the crude oil he mortgaged for loans is mind-blowing. Tinubu isn't a blame game guy like Buhari who kept blaming PDP even well into his second term..

Beyond June, full deregulation was already in place in the budget Tinubu inherited, so really total fuel deregulation and subsidy removal was 100 percent Buharis doing

Tinubu is president, he could have waited to observe the situation before blabbering "subsidy is gone" even after saying subsidy is gone he still went on to pay subsidy for close to a year so the excuse of Buhari not providing for subsidy payment is nonsense. If they want to buy SUVs and private jet they easily supplement budget but they can't do the same for fuel reduction? He's totally incompetent and has no business being president. He's better off as party chairman

Tellmeastory:
DUMB AND DUMBER.

Even if he pisses in your mouth you will say he is not a racist.


A FEW INSTANCES OF TRUMP RACISM:


Donald Trump has faced numerous accusations of making racist statements and engaging in racist behavior throughout his public life, both before and during his presidency. Here are some of the key instances that have been widely discussed and criticized:

1. Central Park Five Case (1989)
In 1989, Trump took out full-page ads in four major New York City newspapers calling for the death penalty for five Black and Latino teenagers who were wrongfully convicted of raping a white woman in Central Park. Despite their exoneration in 2002, Trump continued to insist that the men were guilty.

2. Mexican Immigrants (2015)
During his presidential campaign announcement in June 2015, Trump referred to Mexican immigrants as "rapists" and criminals. He said, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best... they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists."

3. Charlottesville Comments (2017)
After the violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Trump said there were "very fine people on both sides," suggesting that some of the white supremacists were not entirely at fault for the violence.

4. Shithole Countries" (2018)
During a meeting with lawmakers, Trump reportedly referred to Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations as “shithole countries,” implying that immigrants from these places were undesirable. The comment was widely condemned as racist.

5. Birtherism Campaign (2011-2016)
Trump was a leading figure in the birther movement, which falsely claimed that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States and therefore was not eligible to be president. This movement was widely seen as racially motivated, given that Obama is Black.

6. Muslim Ban (2017)
Shortly after taking office, Trump signed an executive order barring entry to the U.S. from several Muslim-majority countries. Critics decried the move as discriminatory and Islamophobic, particularly since no evidence supported the claim that individuals from these countries were more likely to commit acts of terrorism.

7. "Go Back to Your Country" (2019)
In a series of tweets, Trump told four Democratic congresswomen of color—Reps. Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib—to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came.” All four women were American citizens, and three were born in the U.S. This remark was widely condemned as racist.

8. Referring to Native American Senator Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas" (2016-2020):
Trump repeatedly referred to Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas," mocking her claims of Native American heritage. Many viewed this as an insult to Native Americans, diminishing their history and culture.

9. The "Very Fine People" Controversy (2017):
After the violent clash between white supremacists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Trump was criticized for saying there were "very fine people on both sides." This statement was seen as equating white nationalists with anti-racist protesters.

10. NFL Protests (2017):
Trump criticized NFL players, particularly Black players, for kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality against Black Americans. He called for them to be fired and described the protests as disrespectful. Critics argued that this was an attempt to undermine the players' calls for racial justice.

.........

These incidents represent some of the most widely criticized remarks and actions Trump has taken that many view as racially insensitive, discriminatory, or outright racist. While Trump has denied being racist and has defended some of his statements, these events have sparked significant controversy and condemnation from various groups and individuals.

..................


ANY BLACK PERSON WITH HALF A BRAIN CELL, KNOWING ALL THE ABOVE AND YET STILL SUPPORTS TRUMP, CLEARLY HAS MAJOR SELF ESTEEM ISSUES.

YOU OBVIOUSLY CONSIDER YOURSELF AN INFERIOR BEING DESERVING OF SUCH RACIAL DISCRIMINATION NAND CONTEMPT.

MEANING YOU'RE A PATHETIC DISGRACE TO WHOEVER BIRTHED YOU.


.............

OH. ...I FORGOT ABOUT THE RACIST ANIMAL'S REFUSAL TO RENT HIS APARTMENTS TO BLACKS IN NEW YORK:

............


Donald Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, have faced allegations and legal actions related to discriminatory practices in housing, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s.

In 1973, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the Trump Organization, accusing it of discriminating against Black tenants and applicants for rental properties. The lawsuit was based on claims that the company had refused to rent apartments to Black individuals in their buildings in New York City, violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

Specifically, the lawsuit alleged that Trump and his father, Fred Trump, instructed employees to mark the applications of Black people with a "C" for "colored" to segregate them from white applicants. They were also accused of having their staff falsely claim that apartments were not available when Black applicants inquired about renting.

In 1975, the case was settled without admission of guilt, and the Trump Organization agreed to take steps to ensure compliance with fair housing laws.

Trump is too corrupt to even be a racist. He just shape-shift to what his supporters want.

Buhari did it 100x by putting his nephews, uncles and many relatives in public posts, so that one is not nepotism

His kinsmen in NNPC, CBN, all the security agencies, Customs, immigration, police, AG, Chief judge, a sharia judge.. abeg

Buhari's appointees weren't retarrded like the ones Tinubu appointed. They were mostly spread out in the north and not just from north west. Also buhari had lots of achievements. Railway, roads, bridges etc and fuel was 200 and dollar was 450/700. I haven't seen a single thing Tinubu has done. All the roads are destroyed, no repairs going on, even ordinary NIN app that was built under Buhari is not even working anymore and dollar keep rising

Ttalk:
Truly the South too have their set of almajiri and this post I quote is one.

Since you are covered by bigotry and hate for Tinubu, you can't see the grave danger in what Kwakwaso said as an assault to the entire South.

You should be ashamed of yourself and your generation

Tinubu has already destroyed the south. The north will retake power soon and they will replicate Tinubu's nepotism 10x. If northerners decide to not vote for him, he won't even win reelection because southerners will not vote for him anyway. That man is just hype and no substance. One of the most retarrded presidents I've ever seen. He's like those president you see in places like Gabon, congo, Guinea and other barbaric French and Spanish speaking African countries
