That poster is right! Let's be sincere- office romance is very common in Nigeria regardless of what the organization says about it. If this happened in Nigeria, the boss would have retained his job, the woman would have been rude to everyone because of her relationship with the boss, the job would have suffered and nothing would have happened

Nestle Nigeria is different oo..zero tolerance for sexual harassment!!..they don’t care the position you hold!!

mannobi:
If we have excess of gas in the country why then is gas still costly? Why can't we even enjoy any good thing from the resources of Nigeria?

The investment required to process gas is way more than that of crude oil..
Only one gas compressor can buy a small oil field…hence the cost!!

OKOATA:
As. YouTuber or a content creator, the best you can do for yourself and generations is always to keep your earnings a secret. Na you use your mouth cast yourself Pella.

Not anymore with this new tax law..
One of the provisions in this new tax law is that banks are to notify tax offices for accounts that receives a cumulative of 5million naira or more monthly..for proper taxation..

gulfer:
What a dumb and stupid directive; just when airlines are moving almost upwards full on flight connectivity, our NCAA is moving many steps in the opposite direction
Anyways, kundus to them

Full flight connectivity is only after take off..it’s not available during take off anywhere in the world!!

Arostar2023:
You don't know that it's for your own safety? You can never tell how incoming calls and so on can affect a plane's navigation during takeoff and landing.

It doesn’t bro…and can never crash a plane..only that a faint sharp noise will be heard over the intercom

bigpicture001:
They can't win the trophy.... Angola is too strong.. and are a serial winner

Let’s see what $100k motivation can do..

givedemwotowoto:
By his actions, Tambuwal just told those defecting, “Don’t be afraid of EFCC”. People will start defying Tinubu soon.

Who do you think released him??..do you know what he has promised for them to release him??

MadamExcellency:
What are the terms? Something must give. The bank is not father Christmas and they have reoccurring expenditures to settle. Remember, the Islamic Banks pay tax to FG.

To build a mosque in Umahia!!!

18 more characters needed

BTH..I don’t think they have received the $100k each.. ..no be government again..next 5yrs they will still be talking about payment..

aribisala0:
He was never. VP of the refinery

Why do people find it hard to admit when they are wrong

What do you mean by AS A VP

VP of. what exactly?.


If truly he was VP of refinery who was president

The. Simple truth is you have a psychological need to be right which is an ego problem

Not VP of refinery but VP of dangote industries..dangote himself is the President of Dangote industries limited..under DIL..that’s when you have the different segment of the business..the sugar, cement, oil and gas, logistics.

SmartPolician:
Congratulations to David Bird. Dangote clearly needed a Caucasian for the role probably for business reasons. If not, there are many qualified Nigerians who can do the job.

Abeg which Nigerian has managed a refinery successfully before??..Abi didn’t you read the portfolio of this guy??

budaatum:
Looks like Devakumar is a builder, and not a manager. Different skills set.

Sad though, that Dangote could not find a Nigerian.

No nigerian has refinery experience nah..Abi make dem employ NNPC peeps make dem turn the refinery to maintenance assets??

franugo:
Why in fx tho? Our payments should be in naira...how can the govt be admonishing private bodies that request payment in fx and be borrowing to pay for capital projects in Nigeria in fx?

Will Siemens accept Naira..or is there any Nigerian company that can produce electrical components??
Will train coaches purchase be paid in naira??..
Will CCECC accept naira??

franugo:
I'm still not sure why we're borrowing foreign loans, previously it majorly was to import refined crude and to service banks who in turn service their customers. Now those two black holes have been shut, why are we then still borrowing foreign funds? Naira I can understand.....or is it that we're borrowing FX to service the ones Buhari borrowed?

We borrow for capital projects..

CodeTemplarr:
...and relooted via useless projects right? I laugh.

At least the project will be done in Nigeria…not abroad!!

Now when people ask where is subsidy money..it is staring right at them on the face..902billion that would have gone for subsidy payment..is now been remitted to the federation account..

Kinah25:
Hello everyone.
Any update so far after the interview?

Successful candidates have been sent mail to move forward

feedthenation:
---Nigeria government should provide some support to Air Peace---

Have they not done it…who fought for the inclusion of air peace airline in Heathrow airport??..those are the kind of support FG is needed to give businesses not money!

PresidObi:
It shouldn't cost that much to make a kilowatt if corruption is removed. That's the point people have been making since.

What is the cost to run your generator at home for 24hrs??..
Or do you think they produce electricity differently??..it’s the same process bro…burn gas to turn an alternator!!..
And gas isn’t cheap bro..yes Nigeria has a lot of gas reserves but are we going to tap it with our bare hands..do you know the cost of a gas valve talkless of a compressor??..

nairalanda1:
Thanks for the information. I believe that eventually he will tho. But for now, till it happens...

😂😂..natural gas are from oil wells and gas alone wells brother and it doesn’t need production..
The equipment used to drill,process and transport gas is 5x costlier than that used in oil drilling..

Zidac:
I've been in Enugu for the past week and I've never experienced this kind of power supply anywhere in Nigeria. I have traveled to several parts of Nigeria but none compares. Here it's about 23hrs 30 mins 24/7 consistently. It's really unbelievable

Most parts in Lagos state already enjoy this..
Yesterday I had 23hrs supply on band B

Hemanwel:
What the federal government cannot give its citizens, a State governor is doing it.

If not lack of thoughtfulness (or to some extent...wickedness), why would the government of a nation think that the only thing its citizens will benefit from its administration is Public Holidays?

Shame on Bola!

Who developed and ensured the electricity act bill was passed into law that currently gives states the power to generate, distribute and regulate electricity market in their state??..who??

And some set of people are saying we should bring back subsidy..
Ordinary 15naira difference was enough to show their true color talk of 500naira margin…dy will just divert all the whole fuel to Benin republic and Niger!!..

Nonsense journalism!!!..
How does reduced reserves mean it was use to defend Naira…have they all forgotten they have debts to service in $$??..most of it was use to service debts and not naira defense!

Lanruze:
If PBAT would loose the Presidential Elections in 2027, it will be hinged around the unsequenced and abrupt removal of the PMS subsidy removal.

An economic analyst describes what the Presidency did as the removal of the tooth of a patient without analstelsia and expecting the patient not to complain of pain.

Which yeye boldness is that ? The price of staples have begun an upward trajectory once again whilst the major feedback from Farmers remain input cost & transport cost directly affected by the PMS subsidy removal.

Government in the last twenty four (24) months has lost over $20B through closure of SMEs and exit of multinationals and saved $10B from the PMS subsidy removal.

Infact, NNPC according to Gov. Hope Uzodinma was not remitting any to FAAC for nine (9) months making it difficult to track subsidy claims expense whilst the FIRS held forth.

PMS subsidy removal should have given birth to a PTF or SURE-P establishment where priority programmes would be targeted for the shocks Nigerians currently experience.

The Governors who are the major beneficiary are not as accountable and transparent with distributable revenues with over-invoiced contract and fraudulent palliative programmes.

But if the tooth was a cancerous one and the patient only..2 option
Either to remove the tooth and end the pain forever or be placed on pain relieving medicine and hope that one day the pain will go away.

Angelfrost:
Especially when he is on vacation...!

As soon as he got sworn in, he ceased to be a private citizen.

So government officials and staffs do not get vacation because they are public officials??

Angelfrost:
Lol... Every single American knows where their President is at every given time.

If his whereabouts are meant or limited to his family and security details only, then he has no business being in that office.

Even when the president is on vacation??

Kalulu44:
Nobody is denying him his leave. But he's a public servant, number 1 for that matter. And he ought to let the people know

His security details and family knows where he is.

Shey Tinubu no get leave days ni??..he is probably taken one week out of his leave days for the year..

Honestey:
You want expo from Obi? Sidon dey look, Obi will not tell you singbain. Just rescue power from Tinubu for ADC first, the Obi's office of VP under Atiku will handle Economy and Atiku will handle security to build Nigeria to Dubai standard in 2 years only.

He has nothing to give outside propaganda!!..Go and read tinubu manifesto before the 2023 elections and see things that your Obi cannot fathom.

franchasofficia:
Wow, I love this.


Thank you Mr writer, we cherish honest, detribalized Nigerians like you who have an open mind.



As someone close to Peter Obi and one of his ardent supporter till the day he disappoints, I will respond to some on his behalf.


First, let me correct you, other regimes didn't delay the removal of petrol subsidy, instead it was Bola Tinubu himself that sabotaged and campaigned against the removal of petrol subsidy during Goodluck Jonathan's regime which would have been the best period to remove petrol subsidy when Ngozika Okonjo-Iweala that knows better advocated for it, Tinubu mobilized Nigerians from Ojota to protest against it until Goodluck being a listening and empathetic President listened and canceled the petrol subsidy removal. Now let's move forward haven set the records straight.



If you observe closely, Tinubu's regime copies a lot of Peter Obi's plan, they silently listens to Peter Obi and implement some of Obi's blueprint, I commend Tinubu on that.


Some of such blueprints are:


1.) State Police which Obi have been hammering on. Tinubu quicky dished it out but he still doesn't have the full confidence to fully implement it because he is scared that Governors, especially Northern Governors could use it against him in 2027.


Obi would have set the ball of State Police rolling since and by now, we would have been at the stage of assessing it's effectiveness and discussing how to refine it and correct some negativities in State Police, but Tinubu is not ready to implement it until he wins 2027 reelection.


2.) Second is, let me not go there for now.


Let's talk about Peter Obi's consumption to production economy blueprint. Mind you, I won't go into details because eyes are watching, Obi and we his close supporters have learned some lessons and still learning to guard our words.


You removed subsidy, if truly you did, trillions have been saved from doing that, what do you do with the trillions saved? Reinvest or re channel it to a more productive venture and be honest about it. The coastal highway from Lagos to Calabar is a national waste, it will add no economic value to Nigeria of today. We need short term and long term economic plans but with more focus on the short term plans to get us out of the woods faster before we are caught up.


The North have a versed fertile land that can turn Nigeria to agro hub of Africa and the world if managed properly. Why not channel part of the trillions saved from subsidy removal to that sector and forget about the coastal highway to perdition, a conduit pipe for looting?


Take State Policing serious to return safety to the North to encourage farmers to go back to their farms?


You want a productive economy and you still peg interest rate at about 25 to 30%, how do you expect production factories and entrepreneurs to borrow at such ridiculous rate and meet up? That interest rate is too high for a nation that wants to boost local production, Tinubu should take my tip and work on it.


Creating Blue economy ministry or so is not enough, what realistic projects have they embarked on or rolled out to empower Nigerian youths in reality and not just on paper and on media propaganda?


How can you remove petrol subsidy and also unpeg the FX at the same time and not expect a crippling economy afterwards? You do these things in batches while you observe the effects of each till things come in place.


Devaluation of Naira when Nigeria isn't exporting large quantity of finished products is shooting yourself on the leg.


Who said importation cripples a nation's economy? The only thing you must do is to ensure that you are exporting as much as you are importing until you are balanced enough to export more. But tightening import duties and restricting major/critical goods from being imported when you aren't comparatively producing enough locally will boomerang; it is the reason for the high cost of goods and hunger in Nigeria.


You focus on the things you have comparative advantage not otherwise.


If your climate is not good enough to produce enough local rice to feed your population at affordable price, why not forget about local production and import it and channel your energy and resources to other grains that you have a comparative advantage to grow locally instead of stopping rice importation that you know your climate cannot allow you to produce locally at a cheaper price than import no matter how much you invest in it?


America is a heavy import nation that depend hugely on China because many products they need are better imported cheaper from China while they focus on other goods they have comparative advantage on to boost their economy.


China does same.



Let me stop here, we don't want to be giving free economic blueprint again, I can be consulted for an affordable fee



Why is Tinubu scared of reforming our electoral system to make sure Nigerians elect their preferred leaders; from LGA to Federal level? That act alone will change the destiny of Nigeria for good because as soon as Nigerian politicians realize that only the people's votes can put and return them to office, they will start doing everything possible to lead well to please the masses and not some elites. It will reduce leadership corruption and negligence because every elected leader in Nigeria will take their role serious. Tinubu should work on that, Peter Obi will overhaul Nigeria's electoral system whether it would favor him or not, he will do it as a legacy he will be forever remembered for.

Court and Judges shouldn't be the people deciding who should lead Nigeria as it is today. Why must few men who call themselves Supreme Court Judges be the ones to decide the fate of electoral candidates after election? We must do a way with that to achieve a better nation if we are to remain one nation.

Trillions saved in subsidy were unrealized trillions bro..
The trillions saved we all are talking about is if we were to continue with the subsidy program..the money that would have been spent probably in the next 4years has been saved probably from borrowing and owing workers and contractors payment..it’s an unrealized amount!!..
2. You talk about state police as if Obi will be on seat today and just sign state policing into law..it’s not possible without the support of other stakeholders including the legislators..
3. Increase in interest rate was what cooled the depreciation of the naira..that’s why you see the NGX rising everyday…personally for me I stopped converting my savings to dollars and investing in dollars when the interest rate was increased..because it wasn’t making an economic sense anymore to keep doing that..and am sure many other’s also reasoned in that way too..
4. Devaluation has also helped the company where I work a lot been that they are now exporting massively to the UK and other smaller European countries..my salary was increased last year by 70% because of this single effort.
While we keep whining because of our inability to purchase foreign product as we used to before..people are making money and the economy is actually breathing for first time since Buhari’s era.

greggng:
Here are the facts

She broke one of the senate rules
She didn't apologise
Senate suspended her for 6months

The court is now telling you that her suspension of 6months runs contrary to our constitution..The maximum for such offense is 14days . Two wrongs don't make a right. Law makers shouldn't be law breakers

The judiciary cannot dictate to the legislative so as the legislative cannot dictate to the judiciary..they both can only advise each other..
That is separation of power SOP101..
The senate president nor the president cannot dictate to the chief judge when he/she suspends a judge under its jurisdiction..
