It's true, it will be APC vs Nigerians in 2027. While those who voted APC in the just concluded gubernatorial election in Ekiti are from Niger Republic

Subsidy was finally removed in September 2024, as at 29 May 2023 when PBAT announced subsidy removal and petrol prices jumped from 180 to 500 and to 600. NNPC had to intervene to keep the price at 600 as the landing cost of petrol was well over 600. When Dangote started producing petrol in 2024, NNPC is the only offtaker as no marketer can afford to buy from Dangote and dispense in a subsidized market. NNPC was buying from Dangote at a higher price and giving to marketers at subsidized rate. By September 2024, NNPC finally exit itself as the sole offtaker and Dangote Refinery started selling to marketers directly and this finally ends the petrol subsidy regime as fuel price rose to above 900. If Rufai Oseni is pretending not to know this, I won't be surprised because he knows what he's doing. Government did pay for subsidies in 2024.

Cement is 13k, still high though. If we are to make comparisons we need not exaggerate prices. How do you want me to believe prices in other climes when you don't get the price here right.

Also, the back shock is bad. I was wondering if it can cause shaking and vibration especially when the brake is applied at high speed.

if this is the case, check your front brake calipers. Get the engine seats checked too

In terms of official language, Brazil is the odd one out. Brazil official language is Portuguese while the rest is English.
In terms of geographical location, India is the odd country. India is located in the northern hemisphere while the rest are in the southern hemisphere.
I terms of population, Ghana is the odd country. Ghana is not up to a hundred million population while the rest are in hundreds of million population.

Cooking gas explosion mainly occurs doing dry season. Hot temperatures are not gas friendly, hence incidents of explosion during the season are more pronounced. When we approach December, incidents of cooking gas explosion will feature feature more in the news.

Those are just 2 votes.

Thousands of people across Nigeria are declaring support for Gbenga Hashim everyday

we'll see how many votes he will get in 2027.

Accord party that it's gubernatorial candidates in Oyo and Osun have already endorsed PBAT as their preferred candidates. Who sabi Hashim

I can bet, most of these candidates that lost out in the primaries and join another party to get tickets will be disqualified by the courts if they eventually get elected. I thought it's in the amended electoral law that one can't participate in primaries twice, and names of party members must have been submitted to INEC days before party primaries, how did political parties now submit names of aspirants that join them after losing out in a previous primaries of another party?

In states, governors have been buying cars and allocating houses for judges and there has been no uproar, I don't know why this should attract any furore. Same Wike did these as Governor in Rivers state and no one criticised him.

I am particular about the downloadable copy of the pvc that will be avaliable for the 2027 general elections, it will help those of us with lost pvc and those who couldn't collect theirs due to logistics reasons. Imagine spending 10k to reach my local government headquarters for pvc collection, now I can comfortably download and print out a copy of my pvc. All thanks to the latest electoral law amendment.

Here we go again, apart from the South East, parts of South south, Abuja, Kano and Lagos, the NDC largely has no presence in the remaining regions in Nigeria. You guys can only have agents and coordinators in areas you have strong presence. 2023 will repeat itself in 2027.

Na true joor, like Peter Obi from APGA to PDP to LP to ADC and now NDC. It's all about personal interest.

Most defections show that politicians are only after achieving their selfish interest.

When buying a used car:
1) Don't allow to be rushed by the seller.
2) Make sure you go with a trusted mechanic, some mechanics can compromise and bargain for a cut with the seller.
3) Test drive for possible defects
4) Don't be deceived by the newness of the engine oil
5) Take your time to analyse the defects noticed in the car, ask your mechanic if the defects are not expensive to fix and they won't have effect on the durability.
6) If you are the type that can do without A/C in your car, check for gas leak, most cars A/C are topped up when put up for sale as the cooling system must have been bad and "the gas just need top up" excuse by the seller might cost a fortune to fix.

Babaibe:
Okoye is not a match for nwabali. He is a useless goalkeeper

you only judge him by the goals he conceded, he made a double save, save lewandowski's one on one, and made some other saves. No goalkeeper can save the Polish second goal, though the well taken shot was taken outside box 18, it's a swinging ball that confused Okoye. In this match I rate Okoye 7/10

Are you aware of decades of burning substandard petrol has impacted on negatively on public health?
Have you ever asked yourself why some petrol evaporates quickly from your fuel tank?
Have ever asked your why you so-called cheaper product is not used in the country of production?
Have you ever asked yourself while the same Europeans are buying standard petrol from Dangote while you imported substandard one from Europe?

you're just churning out Dangote line of propaganda, as if na today I just dey buy petrol. Let me tell I have been buying petrol for decades, both for industrial use and for my cars. Don't say what yoh you don't know much of.

Gboss247:
There is nothing like competition!
It either you keep buying the substandard petrol that knocks your engine or you buy quality petrol from Dangote

the "substandard" petrol we've been buying for decades before Dangote refinery, Dangote labelling imported fuel as substandard is just propaganda to make us believe imported fuel is cheaper because it's of low quality. In those decades of imported petrol, I only heard issues about "bad fuel" twice.

Gboss247:
How does the importation of expensive substandard petrol from Europe checkmate Dangote premium petrol the same Europeans are consuming?
Petrol prices are tied to global oil prices and if you to buy below that, demand subsidy from the federal government and stop quoting imaginary competition and monopoly theories.

I am not asking for petrol subsidy, I just want competition in the sector, no doubt fuel prices are largely determined by international crude oil prices. My question is: why should Dangote be afraid of competition from importers? It can only mean his prices are not competitive enough, meaning the prices can go lower if competition is allowed.

Gboss247:
Be at the mercy of Dangote?
Petrol prices are around the world are subject to global oil prices except the government subsidizes.

I'm not talking about international crude oil price determining fuel prices, we all know that. But leaving Dangote as the only determinant of fuel prices is a monopolistic tendency. Let's allow importation to checkmate Dangote and if his prices are competitive enough it will discourage importation. Dangote is the only one to discourage importation if he's giving us the best prices. If importers feel they can still compete with Dangote prices, they should be allowed. Say no to monopoly. We need to protect Dangote refinery though, but not at consumers' expense.

Gboss247:
Petrol price is determined by global oil prices and not the imaginary competition they scammed you in school

I quite agree with you, but without competition we'll still be at the mercy of Dangote on when prices should shift downwards when price of crude fall in the international market. With competition, consumers can still get marginal reduction on fuel prices

My question has always been why Dangote is afraid of competition, his refinery is in Nigeria and he's still afraid of competition from fuel importers. This gives me the belief that his products are more expensive than imported ones. If his excuse is that imported products are of inferior quality, have we not been using imported fuel before the coming on board of his refinery? Why is Dangote afraid of competition, if his products are prized competitively, no one will dare want to import fuel

414 roads? To list the roads now will be wahala. The only good thing coming out of about Abia state is the propaganda being parroted by the Obidients. If they are sure, they should list the 414 roads so we verify

If you are a reputable mechanic and customer to the dealer, he must have known your workshop and get the engine delivered to you at your garage. It's trust based on years of patronage.

Funny thing is most people claiming expert on fish farming online never actually get involved in the business. And many are being deceived into going to it

I will advise you to get a mechanic that has credibility with Ladipo dealers, they will bring the engine to the mechanic to fix and payment made after fixing and mechanic confirm it OK.

If its just a bricklayer workmanship for casting a 2 bedroom bungalow which should not be more than 10 castings (windows and doors) in total. You should be able to negotiate it to 100k. It's what a bricklayer and his labour can do in a day.
You can get one or two other bricklayers to give you their charges. One of easiest job to do by a bricklayer is lintel casting. The labour guy will do most of the work of mixing granite, sand, cement and water together with pouring the mix while the bricklayer work is just to spread the mixing

Believe this story at your own peril, Africa with it's munbo jumbo belief. Bees swarm around a courtroom, but because someone is standing accused in the courtroom so he's the one who commanded the bees to sawrm the courtroom so as to truncate his trial. The things we believe in this continent is why we will forever be far far behind in civilisation

If engine oil is getting dry, it has to be oil leakage or wear and tear of the engine. Check for oil leakages around the engine and under the engine. If no leakages detected, it's most likely the engine is having wear and tear problem and it's either you change the pistons and rings or you get to replace the engine. I will recommend the latter.

Political transfer window ongoing, deadline fast approaching

Status quo: the situation currently
Status quo ante bellum: the situation before the war. Anyone who's claiming INEC's interpretation of the Appeal court decision is wrong is either playing the ostrich or just being mischievous. If the Appeal court wanted the current ADC leadership to be at the helm pending the determination of the case at the High Court would have just said the parties should maintain status quo.
