Firstly, I am not a partisan politician. Secondly, I am not an "APC zombie" as you put it.

During the time of Jonathan, we were still under the impression that things may get better with time. Things didn't. During Jonathan's era, our economic conditions were much better. At this precarious time in our history Buhari has to succeed. Forget about his promises now. He just has to succeed for our sake. We need to progress as a nation. ARE YOU NOT TIRED OF COMPLAINING?

It ain't a must for PMB to succeed. If he fails and things get worse, there is one thing that is sure to happen. There would be a change that would be enthroned by common men like you and I and that change is called a revolution. But, unfortunately many of us always see revolution as shedding of blood and wanton destruction of life and properties. That would not be Nigeria's case as we are far wiser than that and won't shed blood or destroy properties in the revolution that would follow if PMB failed. Like someone said earlier, he (PMB) can only fail himself any get the hell outta our system, did Naija fail when it was assumed that both OBJ and GEJ failed...

Kx:
Bros, this nation is not about individual be it GEJ or PMB.

I am as surprised by the mere 50kobo reduction as u are; but that does not give me the right to jump into conclusions without details.

My surprise will either turn into pleasant surprise when PMB give additional details of say massive govt savings i.e if the new price regime indicates complete removal of subsidy in view of the current global benchmark of <$40 per barrel of crude oil OR
disappointment if he says even with the mere 50kobo reduction, govt will still spend billions annually to fund subsidy payments to major marketers.

I am trying to be pragmatic. All I preach is wait until you get additional information to guide our collective positive or negative reaction.
Is that a tough ask?

Yes. Indeed, it is a very tough (t)ask.

Removal of fuel subsidy has been on the front burner in Nigeria for a long time, but each time it comes up for mention, the opposition then (ruling party now) always make it political to denigrate and deride the then ruling party and instigating people to bring the economy to a standstill. Now, that they are in power why are they going the same way they fought tooth-and-nail against and leveraged on to get into power?

I hope you do understand why it is a tough task now...

negga4al:
Some of you here do not understand anything before coming to make useless comments. Do your research well and then understand. In the UK, it sells for about £1.40, covert that say how much.

Nigeria here will sell for less man a $1. Because world crude oil sells for less than $50, so then it should be sold for N5 in Nigeria?

Forgetting that a large sum is still refined outside the shores of Nigeria. Please, guys get your facts right!

http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EP.PMP.SGAS.CD

Where did you keep this your stats and argument when GEJ wanted to remove subsidy?

Oh! I forgot. You were too busy fabricating lies with Lai Mohammed and making stoopid useless analysis with Fashola. So much for hypocrisy. Let God be your judge...

Kx:
Reduction has been confirmed yes.
However, no details has been provided.

Fair enough pmb will be addressing the nation by 7.00pm today, why don't let's wait for more details before rushing on name calling,labeling, mudslinging and all sorts of speculations?

Would you have said or done same for GEJ...

The MDX I know. Abeg, which one be Ford Edge again na? Abi Ford wan fall for the Edge. Lol...

Like Abatically said

No competition. Ford edge ain't a match for Acura mdx. Even a 2010 mdx is a better car than a 2014 ford edge.... Because they are not in the same class.

The Edge is a much smaller car in a lower class than the MDX, but why are Nigerians always comparing cars for different markets, in different classes sef? Small time them go begin compare MB G-Wagon with Toyota RAV 4/Highlander...

ruggedtimi:
so annoying.....what about other local government areas like ekeremor where a federal minister was attackd by well armed thugs and it ws even caught on tape. PDP instigated more violence in the bayelsa election. Even in southern ijaw pdp militants tried evrythng possible bt dey culdnt overpower apc's field men. the violence in southern ijaw was as a result of both parties fighting. In dickson's lga sagbama abut 3 apc agents were seriously injured "http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/business/victims-of-bayelsa-election-violence-recount-ordeal/123901.html"... one of dem was crushed with a car by pdp thugs. In nembe same thing happnd apc agents were attacked.

You are lying. I was in Nembe on election duty. It was APC guys that were going round the town looking for PDP guys so they could kill 'em. I had to scamper for safety as I have no business in the bullet-stopping business (lol).

Don't talk about things you know nothing about. That's commonsense wisdom.

If this is true, Alaibe see what you've reduced yourself to. A common prostitute. A very common one that sef...

itstpia8:
there is nowhere in Nigeria where poor people can afford to jet around in speedboats all the time.

check "your village" very well, you'll see canoes there.

now, you and I both know that is not your village and you are probably the "twitterer" called This Is Me.

Stop sounding oafish, you are becoming irritating. Nobody takes canoe as a means of transport from Yenagoa to Akassa. You sounding as if you know jack, have you ever travelled with bicycle from Lagos to any part of the country? Apart from those mighty market boats which are like trucks (trailers and gwongworos), Speed boats are regulars on that route like normal commuter cross country buses and cars, while canoes are like bicycles used by farmers and fishermen to commute between their homes and their hustling posts.

Thank you. Your mischief has been noted...

Oshiomhole Special Adviser on Media, Prince Kassim Afegbua said rather than respond to issues, Okonjo-Iweala was making self-indicting statements on how she denied Edo people the funds needed to develop critical infrastructure.

The bolded makes Oshiomhole sound like a demented man bereft of ideas who won't even recognize water if it hits him in the face. For crying out loud, Oshiomhole is supposed to be a State Governor, generating revenues for his state and using same to develop the State and better the lot of his people, instead, he's cap-in-hand going around begging, for funds to borrow and putting the blame on some else. What a minion.

“She should be ashamed to even state that she denied Edo people infrastructure loan, when she could not redeem what was due to the state. Would there have been need for loan request if she was truly in firm control of the economy under her watch?

Can Adams publish what was owed Edo State that was not remitted to him when NOI held sway as Minister? It was Adams that went looking for loan and not NOI. In this case, I think its Adams that has mismanaged his State's resources and as such is seeking a loan for a bail out and not the other way round. Next, he might be blaming OBJ for being President when he was labour leader.

kay29000:
She lost 79kg so far? She try o! And she said she is almost there...that means she wants to lose some more. I guess she really wants to be lepacious for real.

Oh my! The bolded is greater than my weight. I come in at a petite 72kg and am feeling obese already. Damn! She must have been walking around with the world wrapped around her body. Lol...

ShowYourCertificate:
This man is a sycophant

No. He is actually a paid agent. He works for Lie Mohammed. He has the same lying genes Lie Mohammed is made off and is also working assiduously to earn his keep.

So much for a lying career...

Responsible governance. This change reminds me of when every kind of Nigerian suffering was attributed to an invisible 'cabal' that we soon found out to be the PDP itself (Diezani and co. )

The situation is not pretty at the moment, but with a responsible government, we will soon meet the light at the end of this tunnel.

That's the operational phrase there. Every time "will soon", "shall", etc. Will tomorrow ever come?

bigfat12:
Every car has a VIN, the VIN can be found by looking at the dashboard on the driver's side of the vehicle. The easiest way to view it is to stand outside the vehicle on the driver's side and look at the corner of the dashboard where it meets the windshield. If the VIN cannot be found there, open the driver's side door and look at the door post (where the door latches when it is closed). It is likely that the VIN will also be displayed in this location. See the image below:

It is also referred to as Chassis Number. In case, your car don't have a VIN, the chassis number is the VIN...

princeogbeide1:
I think we gonna talk more on another thread

Okay Bro, invite me over as soon as you create it, am waiting in anxiety. Lol...

[quote author=princeogbeide1 post=40106558][/quote]You call MotoringTrend people having the same thinking with me? Then there is no point in going on with you. Believe what you may, think what you wish. For me a Toyota car is exactly what it is, A Toyota car and not any ish and it doesn't cut it for me. Whatever rocks your boat, Bro...

What was that your question again?

princeogbeide1:
Toyota is not titled as " the best car" among others" but it is the king of Japan automobiles. Can you give names of any Japanese product that is more ideal than toyota?

Every man to his own. What is ideal to you is crap to someone else. Stop sounding like an average Joe (no pun intended, please).

What you find ideal in a Toyota, I find ideal in an Honda and someone else finds ideal in a Nissan, while someone other blokes my find their ideal in a Mitsubishi or Mazda. I don't do generalizations. Just go to many online reviews and check the following out...

princeogbeide1:
You are not been realistic" you are just talking base on your little personal experience"

Am not being realistic because I don't share that "My Toyota is Fantastique" view? LOL...

Everybody must not be a Toyota lover na. There are so many cars out there that are better than the Toyota in their class...

princeogbeide1:
ok" would you compare a Nissan to a toyota?

Yes! I would. That's why I have owned at least 2 Nissan cars in the past as I'm not tripped by all this Toyota ish. I hate hypes...

princeogbeide1:
I got the spelling wrong" cox I was having a shallow write up" am not a Japanese, xo you don't expect me to be perfect with their names" all the same can uu give a brief say about the Op's opinion of buying a Nissan sunny as a student!

Lol...

I've done that ab initio when I suggested he should look for any car being used as taxi in his locality and someone was asking me why?

princeogbeide1:
we can argue this till the end" thank God uu said the premier and Almera Tino (hatch back) do drags when uu really want them to move. All I mean is that, Nissan products are not as rugged as toyota, honder, Kia, Hyundai, or any other product of Japan. Nissan used to be strong those days when it was called the DAIHATSU of the Japanese"

Daihatsu is not related to Nissan, please...

I guess you were referring to Datsun which is an automobile brand owned by Nissan. Datsun's original production run began in 1931. From 1958 to 1986, only vehicles exported by Nissan were identified as Datsun. In 1986, Nissan phased out the Datsun name but re-launched it in 2013 as the brand for low-cost vehicles manufactured for emerging markets.

Daihatsu is related to Toyota.
Daihatsu was formed in 1951 as a successor to Hatsudoki Seizo Co. Ltd, founded in 1907, as part of Hatsudoki's major restructure. During the 1960s, Daihatsu began exporting its range to Europe where it did not have major sales success until well into the 1980s. Since February 1992, Toyota distributes Daihatsu models as part of its North American distribution.

princeogbeide1:
am talking about the 1996-2001 models of Nissan sunny, premerers and almeras that are all over the street" this cars are driven with fear". the are not rugged.

Big fat lie.

I used to own a 1999/2000 Nissan Primera SE with a 2.0i engine mated to an automatic transmission. I used it for over 2 years before selling it off. I never had any engine or transmission issues with it. The reasons I sold it was because it was slow for me as I like fast cars being an Honda guy and also that I have used it for more than 2 years (I'm a high car turnover guy).

I had also owned the 2005 Nissan Almera Tino with a 1.8l engine mated to an automatic transmission which I also sold because of its drag. It was really a big bore driving that car men! If I complained of the Primera being slow, then I can comfortably say the Almera Tino doesn't move at all.

I never had any engine problems with any of these cars. Moreover, almost all car engines today are made of aluminum and that includes the speed machines made by the BMWs, the MBs, the Porsche, Ferraris, Auston Martins, Lamborghinis, etc. You see why we said you lie? Lol.

The Lexus, Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans, Mitsubishis, Kias, Hyundais we all drive today as I write this are all made of aluminum engines...

No doubt the Lexus is a solid ride, but I think I still prefer the Hyundai to the Lexus mostly based on the production year than anything else.

Promxy94:
Please I want to inquire for a friend of mine wants to buy a car, for school movement, because of his health....
He has seen a Nigerian used 2005 Nissan sunny, and I want to know, if it's a good car, that is not problematic....
Please gurus in the house your advice is needed...

Any car being used as a taxi in your area/location is a good buy anyday anytime. Please, help your friend check if that Nissan Sunny is among the favorite cars for taxi where he intends to use it. That would guarantee availability of parts and ample manpower to help him fix the car if issues turn up. Did I forget about fuel economy? Lol...

[color=Blue]What makes you think a 2007 Mercedes-Benz C230 will achieve a maximum speed of 160mph? Or that a 2007 Honda Accord V6 will NOT exceed 130mph?[/color]

Abeg @Siena, I tire for these guys too o. They think and feel other car makers are resting on their oars while MB is ever breaking new grounds. Guys, That's so colloquial. Have any of you done the Genesis before. MB is no doubt a good brand, but other car makers have been able to teach them a lesson or 2 in so many ways. Stop this MB is the ish thing jọọ. Every car has its ups and also it's down...

I really need the price of the Nissan Altima 2010. A customer is already willing to buy...abeg ur help will mean alot

Check at carmudi...

king406:
a Japanese v6 will surely defeat an MB in city driving/race due to the heavy nature of MB, even the 550 models that have a 5.5 liter v8 take about 5.5secs to hit 60mph, a 3.0 v6 Japanese car will do that for u in about the same time because it has less weight. But on the long run, those japs don't stand a chance. Anything from 80mph and above, u will think that japmobile is reversing.. if u ask me, MB are not meant to be driven very fast like a maniac in the city, I think that drops their class, u are not even suppose to drive more than 70mph in the city and accelerate moderately, maybe that's all part of the German engineering , u wana race, get on the freeway or get an open road!

Not with an Acura TL Type S. At speeds in excess of 200km/hr, that's when you begin to see why you paid more for it over its Honda sibling, the Accord EX-L V6...

Guy, bone yarns jare. That Acura can go...
