Na she sabi. That outfit was a fashion fail. Sometimes you have to accept criticism in good faith. All advice is not hate.

What did she expect people to say about her when she wore such a skin-baring outfit to a party thrown by a notorious womanizer like KWAM 1 and attended by his like minded friends?

PoliticsRe: Reno Omokri Attacks Dele Momodu Over His Tweet To Atiku. by gr8child(m):
I can't stand Reno Omokri but what he has said here is true. Dele Momodu likes grandstanding and forming familiarity. He could have sent a text to Atiku if it was a sincere message from the heart of a friend instead of posting on social media for the world to admire.

That's how he was trying to famz the Adeleke family through his niece that got belle for Davido until he went and chopped insult.

tiredoflife:
Surrendered to who
And when he does
Will he be kept in a five star hotel
Or why do u want him to surrender angry
Then he should stop complaining. He's a wanted man. Who wants his endorsement? After all during his militant days he killed people who were people’s fathers too. And the only emancipation he achieved was the emancipation of his own pocket while the people of his community that he claims to fight for continue to live below the poverty line.

If he had surrendered when he was declared wanted, instead of running and hiding like a guilty person nobody would have chased him to his father’s house. So who is now to blame?

PoliticsRe: Nigeria Is The 6th Cheapest Place To Buy Petrol In The World by gr8child(m): 11:29am On Jan 17, 2019
theoldpretender:
Thing is, if we keep the price of fuel low...time will come when we will keep on owing the NNPC millions in unpaid subsidy claims as the cost of importing fuel goes up.

And no one is going to come into Nigeria, and build a new refinery and sell fuel below the manufacturing cost per liter. Even Dangote is not going to sell fuel at N140 per liter to marketers...below the manufacturing cost, and with all his loans he took for the refienry.

Plus, no one is going to invest in our downstream sector because no one wants to come in and make zero profit.

And why keep subsidy...with all the scams going on.

When we started GSM, Obasanjo allowed GSM companies to set prices anyhow. People were buying SIM cards for N10000 and above. People also wanted Government to control prices. Govt refused.

Five years later...thanks to money plus investment flowing in...prices dropped. Phones became so cheap that even rural people were owning 2 lines.

Why can't we do the same for fuel. Yes...price will go above 200 naira...but investment would flow in, and jobs would be created.And more people will build refineries.
Everything you say makes textbook economic sense. However, you cannot squeeze water out of stone. We cannot look at one set of factors (the need to make local refining attractive and to free up income for the government) without considering other factors (the need of the people to survive). Investment will not flow in overnight. In the meantime, the masses would suffer great hardship caused only by the failure of the government to create an enabling economy that would enable its people better absorb the effects of those reforms.

In Zimbabwe, the cost of 1 litre of petrol is now the equivalent of N1,000. That would be N50k to fill up the average car if that kind of increase is implemented here. Even if you think that that is a drastic example, just looking at what is happening in Zimbabwe shows how recklessly tampering with the price of PMS to achieve textbook results, while ignoring other important factors, can go very wrong.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Is The 6th Cheapest Place To Buy Petrol In The World by gr8child(m): 11:14am On Jan 17, 2019
theoldpretender:
Because we are selling fuel at N145 per liter when it costs N190 to import it.

The Government pays a subsidy...of about N45 per litre (sometimes as high as N65 per litre) ...to keep the price low. Problem is, it means NNPC just makes back the cost of importation and does not make a profit.

Also paying subsidy is costing the government big time...and is not sustainable.
Let that be the benefit being enjoyed by the Nigerian people since most of the profits that are made from our commonwealth are eventually stolen by government before it can benefit the masses. The government cannot fail to create a decent economy for its people that would give them an appreciable standard of living and better buying power, and then at the same time complain that the people pay too little for a basic necessity in their lives.

This kind of report vexes me

Because doesn’t take into consideration that Purchasing power of Nigerians is one of the lowest in the world

Even as they say PMS in Nigeria is the cheapest in the world .it is very expensive to millions of Nigerians living in abject poverty
Thank you. Petrol at N145 per litre is not in any way cheap to me. Almost every aspect of our economy is tied to PMS (electricity generation at home, electricity generation for small and medium sized businesses, public transportation of goods and services, private transport). Any misguided attempt to increase the price without addressing these issues will create undue hardship.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Is The 6th Cheapest Place To Buy Petrol In The World by gr8child(m): 10:59am On Jan 17, 2019
That's good. Let it be like that until the majority of the citizens of this country can begin to enjoy some other real benefit of being a citizen of one of the largest oil producing nations. In a country we are still arguing about paying N30,000 (less than $100) a month as minimum wage, the IMF and other proponents for the removal of subsidy want us to pay what they are paying in America for petrol. They are not serious. If they want to increase the price of petrol, they should improve the economy.
