I think why the Police were swift in rescuing the Adelabu Sister and her twin sons is because the kidnappers live within the city/town unlike the other monsters that live in thick forests, and always moving their victims from one forest in one state to another. My thinking




But then, our forests should not be allowed to be a hiding place for criminals, kidnappers and terrorists, Nigeria need to take over our forests by all means.



Well done NPF

My thoughts

StonedLex:
I still enjoy around 24 hrs of power everyday

Sincerely how much do u pay monthly?

Cajal:
Tell us who else was better than tinubu then
Was he the packaged fraud from agulu with no single legacy project during his eight years reign in Anambra
Or the just crowned kachalla of Nigeria
You people are very funny
God bless Nigeria

Tinubu is the worst thing that have happened to Nigeria every sector in the country destroyed.

Akpabio would not allow them

LOL, first off, the big men don't loot all your money, otherwise, salaries won't have been paid for decades.

Second, we gain a lot from forex...it's why the naira isn't N10000 to one dollar right now, and why most of you can enjoy imported stuff. It's also how salaries, wages, projects , etc are funded

Third,competition won't bring down fuel prices, because the crude oil price is still high. At least not below N1200 right now.

I DISAGREE

nairalanda1:
NNPC failed because of cheap fuel.

The corruption was just a byproduct of the whole system of subsides and forced losses.

If you were selling say bread at 100 a loaf , instead of the price of say 1500 naira a loaf which would make a profit for you,because government said you should, meanwhile subsidy payments which would have covered your losses are irregular and not able to cover your rising costs, the truth is, you are going to

1. Lie about how much bread you sold because that's the only way to get more subsidy money

2. Sell the bread on the black market at higher price of 3000 nairas to get more money

3. Smuggle the bread to Cameroon to sell at 4000 naira and get more money

And even then the money may not be enough to help you keep your bread factory working at full capacity, so it breaks down.

And you end up being a bread importer who makes fake subsidy claims to survive

That's how it works

I strongly disagree with u cos importation was still going on massively wen dangote had not come on stream, so drop that fake analogy. Corruption killed NNPC Q. E. D

nairalanda1:
Well

1. If subsidy had gone in 1993, there would have been more refineries since.

2. Prices won't fall down even if there were more refineries because crude oil sold in Nigeria domestically has to be sold at opec prices because of opec rules AND because government revenues are dependent on how much crude is sold at

3. A problem with importation is that it means a lot of exodus of forex. Forex that we don't have enough of. That's not going to help our economy

I gree it would impact on our forex .. but wud create a healthy competition.Afterall what wud the masses gain from the saved forex...it wud still be looted

Counterigbolies:
so is it NDC or ADC vehicles they are supposed to take a long?

So if obi went to a place to mourn like usual, won't his party stalwarts come along n those using branded vehicles will they keep it at home n trek to the scene?

So this is how una dey play opposition politics?

Rubbish

So they have sense to know thatbthey are not supposed to go there with campaign vehicles..useless selfish politicians.

nairalanda1:
NNPC could not change the narrative, because the desire for cheap fuel by the majority of Nigerians prevented it from doing so.

Subsidy means that the NNPC was forced to sell refinery products (indeed until 2013, that meant diesel, kerosene, petrol, etc) were sold at a loss, with subsidy payments meant to cover the loss

Anytime subsidy costs got high, a partial removal of subsidy was done...that's why fuel does not cost 15 kobo today as it did in 1981, per liter...but the savings were not directed to the refineries, they were sent to government projects .

Meanwhile, subsidy payments were never enough for Nigeria , because our populaiton was too too large to be sustained by revenue from oil, same revenue that was used to pay for subsidy...which led to our debt rising

In 1992, when problems were arising frrom maintaining subsidy AND keeping the refineries working well, Nigeria was warned to remove subsidy totally. Nigeria chose subsidy. Over the refineries. The result was that the refineries became chronic loss makers, years went by without TAM, and without UPGRADES...which meant that by 2009, the refinereis were so obsolete, that TAM was basically money down a bottomless pit.

When you force a refinery to run at a loss , as was done for NNPC, it will fail and crash.

And Nigerians liked it that way. RIch people made money from importing fuel and smuggling and fake subsidy claims, the poor made money from massive smuggling across the border. And people lived with the lie of cheap fuel

That;s why when the Ojota crowd were opposing subsidy removal in 2012, they did not know they were fighting themselves, they thought they were fighting for the masses. And one tinubu was riling them up. Well, here we are.

Lies NNPC failed becos of corruption not because they were selling fuel cheap.

nairalanda1:
So, you want Dangote to underpay his workers and take money from maintenance and upgrade costs so that you can buy fuel at very cheap prices?

If you were a businessman or a manufacturer, the price you would sell at would be the price that would yield enough to meet your running costs, and your maintenance and upgrade costs, as well as render to Caesar that which is Caesar, and to charitable things...and still have some left over for staff salaries and pensions, plus proviso for possible salary raises.

You got to give up the fantasy that fuel can be cheap. Unless your government is earning something like 800 billion dollars annually, which would enable some form of subsidy, you can't have cheap fuel now without ending up in debt, and ending up with projects uncompleted and so forth.

Tinubu was busy opposing fuel subsidy removal until he ended up in the hot seat and saw what many others, including GEJ, SLS, NOI, and even his servant and acolyte Oshiomole saw back in 2012.

Dangote can continue with his schenanigans but the fact is that he doesnt have the right to stop importation of fuel.We dont want a monopoly.

fineboynl:
the man is busy exporting the products internationally and using same price template for Nigeria

Very heartless businessman he doesnt care about the suffering masses.To think that we even supported him against nupeng and other petroleum Unions.

braveboi4life:
Dont allow politicians deceive you, BAT handed over APC structure in rivers to wike, its all known that wike controls a significant part of the judiciary, Okocha handed Fubara the 001 apc card, I leave the remaining mathematics to you

Lol he also conducted the recently concluded APC primaries.Wahala be like bicycle.

Thats why Dangote must not be allow to have a monopoly.Licenses should be issued to as much importers as possible.

infofta:
Why leave Israel and strike Kuwait? The fear of Israel is the beginning of war wisdom

Israel has air defence they dont wanna waste their drones.

He can still decamp and contest on the paltform of NDC.

If dangote cant give us cheap fuel... imports should start coming in.The masses dont want any monopoly.

Chelsea. Team has to be overhauled.

HacheNoire:
Who told you I does not affect? Do we import fuel with Naira, or it is it sold in USD?

We shouldn’t be arguing this in 2026.


So you hearing from me first that importation put pressure on the dollar?

Why don’t they allow us use Naira? Because it with strengthen our currency. The people luring you to import know the gains. They are not stupid.

l am talking about the value of dollarbto naira it has remained btw 1333 to 13500 since last yr so what are u saying

Parachoko:
Nafiu Bala the ADC Chairman is doing a good job

Wahala for Atiku ooo..They shld take this likely d Wikes court might rule in favour of Balas faction

HacheNoire:
Because fuel importation puts less pressure on the dollar. Let importation begin and you will see. It’s simple economics.

But available data shows it doesnt affect the value of the dollar..pls google it.So for the sake of we the masses there shld be competition from importers b4 other refineries come on stream make DANGOTE no go kpai us finish with high price.

Maybe the guy needs refund.APC shld do the needful

Tenses:
Your government is useless. Leave Obidients out of this.

An Obasanjo government or an Obi government wouldn't condone this rubbish from SA.

Do you destroy your country because you aim to get at people from far away country.

Normally apc and sense are not friends.

OBJ I agree but OBI is weak

EponObi:
As him no allow una increase stake in his company, you wan play the monopoly card. 😂

How many refineries do we have in this country that you claim he's trying to monopolize the market? Did he stop importers from importing?

Abi if you guys were not stupid and thieves, you would have three working refineries under your control today to compete with Dangote.

Make una get out.

First time ever in decades, African and Asian countries are shopping for fuel in our country but the person who made it happen una wan destroy am. Una no well oooo. This is a battle you can't win.

I pray Dangote completes his 20,000MW project soon, make everywhere scatter finally. You oil cabals can continue crying; it will soon be the turn of generator and power cabals.

We d masses are not reaping the dividends of his refinery ..that was our expectation b4... (cheap fuel)but DANGOTE no send us.

HacheNoire:
Our enemies are desperate for us to return to heavy dollar dependence.

Dangote nailed their coffin and they will do anything to make us resume importation, and still won’t allow us do it with Naira.

Time to start saving in USD. If importation resumes, USD taking flight against the Naira!

What are u saying? DOLLARS has always been the same range since last yr.We need competition so that prices wud be realistic.

Have you guys noticed that Dangote has been very relunctant to reduce the price of his products lately??.During the period of importation he was always trying to beat the prices of importers by lowering his own price from time to time just to attract more patronage.That is the competition we are asking off,someone shld always be there to CHECKMATE if not both sides wud kill d poor masses with exorbitant price.

lordkay10:
Obidients, bia….na Tinubu and APC instigate crisis for this party too?

yes tinubu did its very obvious.

Truths9ja:
2027 will be very interesting. Good luck Jonathan in the ballot will really make people to join PDP back.
