Most of our banks are ripping us off, I decided to limit transactions on my GTB account for a month for easy calculation of charges by month end as I had noticed excess charges in previous months. So at the end of the particular month I was debited 220 naira for sms alert charges. With transactions not more than four including their inter bank transfer charges alert, the alert charges and vat on the charges shouldn't be more than twenty naira. I had to raise the issue via one of their complaint channels and I was duly credited of the excess charges. Imagine millions of unsuspecting customers with multiple transactions being cheated this way every month.

We are playing politics of intolerance to opposition in Nigeria, both at federal and state level. Wike's supporters can't hold meeting in Bayelsa, Natasha should not come home to her constituency in Kogi, Peter Obi can't visit victims of herders attack in Benue etc. So much of intolerance in the polity

The way Obasanjo talks these days, you will think he hasn't presided over this country before, maybe there's no poor person in Nigeria during his presidency, but I remember the songs "Nigeria jagajaga, poor man scatter scatter" and "Ẹyin Oyinbo, ẹ wá fún mi ní visa" released during his reign. Obasanjo's hypocrisy is on a high level

Let the deportation begins, Trump should please spare our African brothers

This will not happen, Real Madrid will not trade Vinicious J. for any other player. This is a mere speculation with no substance

Similar incident of this nature happened some years back in Surulere, the husband and friend taking the mentally sick wife to hospital were nearly lynched. People should refrain from jungle justice, this mentality of mob action on suspects should change. People that do this are no different from animals

This was when the money was flowing from Fubara, now Fubara is in pause mode. The money is now flowing from Wike, we all follow the money not the truth. Both Fubara and Wike are corrupt, they are both fighting on who's going to corner Rivers state money. Head or tail, Rivers people lose

Religion is the opium of the mass while money is the the intent of the clergy

Trump is a danger to democracy, behaving like an African depot.

It will hardly have effect on Nigeria, most of the tariff being imposed by US are on finished goods. How many finished goods do we export to US? It's the Chinese of these world that are the target. Let the industrialised countries fight themselves while the third world countries reap the benefits.

We are waiting for the messiah to follow suit, going back to the "structure of criminality"

This is all about the 2027 Ogun East Senate seat, Abiodun is gunning for the seat after finishing his 2nd term as governor, the same seat now being occupied by Daniel. The politics is now in full gear

Weather the group spearheading her recall is registered or not does not invalidate the recall process

The end justifies the means, the most important thing is to bring peace to Rivers state, after enduring peace is achieved then politics and democratic order can be restored. We are all partisan one way or the order but we should all be for peace and orderliness

I see Nigeria drawing that game
Something is wrong some where

this Zimbabwe team I watched against Benin isn't a team that looks like a threat to the super eagles, anything less than a 3 goals margin win by the super eagles won't excite me

He has learnt in a hard way, then he was saying when the time comes he will tell the boys what to do, now he's distancing himself from the boys. When he's back on the saddle, he must have learnt how to behave maturely.

Best wat to go, the legality or otherwise of implementing this section of the constitution to the extent of suspending the governor, deputy and the house of assembly should be tested at the supreme Court, this is a constitutional democracy and we should all operate within the confine of the constitution

If the National assembly block the State of Emergency, the state house of assembly will be more embolden to impeach Fubara, and this time around they will get security cover and the whole state will be militarized to safeguard national assets. Backing the SOE means Fubara will get a reprieve and have the six months window to seek genuine reconciliation

And we have 5 TV stations broadcasting live, 6,000,000 × 5 = 30,000,000. Where's the money coming from, Wike's pocket or Ministry of FCT

To me, this Otedola bridge is cursed, I can't count the number of accidents that have been reported from this bridge alone so far.

It was on this particular bridge that God saved my life one time like that.

I hope no casualties.

otedola bridge isn't cursed, the terrain of the road will always be recipe for disaster especially for heavy duty vehicle descending and ascending the bridge. Roll back while ascending the bridge is common among heavy duty trucks especially in traffic hold up. The solution is reconstruction of the road to reduce the slope

She's just going for house girl work, most of our ladies in Egypt are live in house girls with no freedom of their own, those that are lucky enough are allowed to go with their bosses when going out like shopping and visiting families while some are made to remain indoors throughout their servitude

Eriokanmi:
so, is the situation now the same? Has their plans now achieved and are the feelings actually accurate? Whenever you think monopoly, you first think NNPCL, not dangote who came on board to break it. The facts are there today. It's a plan to defraud the nattion in the name of subsidy payment as usual. Who will now clear those billions of naira losses they recently declared? We shall see.

petrol is no more being subsidised since Dangote start petrol supply, if NNPCL is claiming any money now, it's what they've spent during the subsidy regime they want reimbursed.

Lookmun:
Your comments assumes an ideal environment but where you have people in high places directly profiting from importation, then cost wouldn’t matter and irrational decisions will be taken at the detriment of the economy. Petrol is the major import item for us so if we encourage importation of it, the value of the naira as well as attendant problems of a weak naira will persist. Rather we should encourage local refining as a means to curtail capitalist tendencies.

Local refining are being encouraged, 3 new licenses have just been given, by the time the local capacity can meet up with demand and NNPC refineries are up and doing, this will be the beginning of real competition in the sector, not now that Dangote is holding the ace

Eriokanmi:
Whose fault? When I told you dangote isn't the mopoly that the apc illiterate supporters were ranting about, they didn't believe it. Dangote came to rescue them from the shackes of their slave drivers but they didn't know. Before the August 2024's refining commencement date, dangote said he'd flood the market with his product at a cheaper price and the NNPCL (the real monopoly) kicked, just because they wanted the status quo of subsidy scam to be maintained and codedly. The same NNPCL backed by cabals had refused to allow our refineries to work for decades despite wasting billions of dollars of tax payers money on TAM.

Dangote fought them dirty and they said his petrol was adulterated, meanwhile the ones NNPCL imported from Malta blending facility owned by mr man was found to be impure. From there they hijacked the downstream operations and dictated the selling price to marketers and the excess goes to their pocket and he accepted. Dangote only kicked when the NNPCL said they'd still appoint 3 marketers to complement dangote's local supply because he's unable to meet up.

Dangote came out with figures, that he could even exceed local supppy, now went to court to obtain a court order against NNPCL moves, which he later withdrew as advised by his associates but NNPCL went ahead as planned. Dangote had slashed price twice and now, the marketers appointed to import are crying over billions of naira losses. We knew their games from the start but these illiterate guys didn't.

The question is, who will now take care of the billions they lost? The phc refinery is nothing but a blending facility and I remember yelling this on nairaland before kyari now said there's nothing wrong in blending.

Nigeria will gain true independence any day we nip tribalism in the bud. We're not ready yet. Sadly, the masses keep being shortchanged, the same people who are supporting these scammers called leaders.

there's nothing wrong in importation, we can't create a monopoly, if Dangote produce enough petrol and his price is cheaper than that of imported, definitely no one will want to import. But if importers feel landing cost can still compete with Dangote's price, the tendency for them to import will be there

Most of our comments here are out of ignorance, there's the Petroleum Industry Act that says petrol can be imported to augment local supply shortfall. NNPC haven't imported this year only licensed private importers did. And there's nothing bad in importation as it is to compete with local refineries so as to make the market competitive. If the local refineries pricing is cheaper than that of imported, no one will dare want to import at a loss. The more the sector is deregulated and no subsidy payment from government, competition will be beneficial to the consumers. Allowing importation is OK to checkmate monopolistic tendencies from local producers. Assuming there's no importation, Dangote wouldn't have brought his price down, competition forced him

Akpabio is randy… and Natasha has a very strong evidence on her matter.

God bless Nigeria

Power to the people

we are waiting for the "very strong evidence" like the one she used to nail Reno Omokri

Seeing comments here, It's either most of us only read headlines before jumping to comment or we have comprehension problem, the period covered by this report is first quarter of 2024 before Dangote refinery started pumping out petrol

Failed project, I know from inception that the rice mill is a deception to give impression that Lagos state is doing something about agriculture, the much touted LAKE rice is only heard during the yuletide where rice are bagged in the branded "Lake Rice" bags and sold to civil servants at discounted prices.

This particular picture is being posted everywhere to discredit solar power and it's making me to doubt the credibility of the picture. I have a 1.5kva solar system and I am enjoying it, it's been 2 months and it has been uninterrupted power in my home. 24/7 light either off grid or on grid
