Politics › Re: Tinubu Approves 15% Import Duty Tax On Petrol, Diesel by grandstar(m): 3:03pm On Oct 30, 2025
ZUBY77:
All the money being borrowed, where are they?

All this problem is because of sharing money to states and local governments every month.

Lets allow states to generate their taxes itself and take care of themselves.
People who always wait for money are usually lazy.
What does the 15% import duty have to do with revenue collection?

A 15% duty may mean the death of petrol importation which might give Dangote a monopoly.

It would be hard for a company to pay this duty and make a profit.
Politics › Re: Tinubu Approves 15% Import Duty Tax On Petrol, Diesel by grandstar(m): 9:59am On Oct 30, 2025
This is downright unfair.

A duty of 2% would have been sufficient.

Dangote is now a monopoly. He can now maximise price.

It seems igbo Genz will teach Bokku the hard way not to touch the tail of a sleeping Tiger or lion.

There are o going Facebook, Twitter campaigns to boycott bokku supermarkets anywhere
Why are we making a mountain out of a molehill? I won't be surprised that some involved in making the advert, even writing the script are Igbos.

What's all the insecurity all about?

This is a small issue and shouldn't be blown out of proportions.

Don't people make fun of Calabar accent? Does that mean they hate Efik or Ibibio people?

Abeg! Make pesin e on.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Sudan: 460 People Killed In Attack On Maternity Hospital by grandstar(m): 8:52pm On Oct 29, 2025
What is worrisome is that the UAE supports one of the sides, and even provides them with fund.

These Gulf kingdoms want to project themselves globally. They want to get noticed.

Na so, Qatar set up Al-Jazeera. What's a monarchial dictatorship doing with a television news channel. As if that wasn't enough, they gave Hamas lots of cash, which incensed the other Gulf States. I am certain Saudi and fellow Gulf states were pleased when Israel bombed them.

UAE has no business whatsoever in Sudan. They just want to flex their wings.

Don't they have lie detector machines to expose the bad eggs amongst the repentant.

In addition, many repentrants go back to join the insurgents when they have not been given sufficient resources to start a new life.

What can 50k do?

If the repentants can't be trusted, it is best they are kept in highly secured camps, where they pose no harm to no one.

cr7lomo:
So 1 litre of crude equals 1 litre of fuel.... just imagine tge sort of dumb people we have here ...and this one too will claim graduate
Did I say 1 litre of petrol can be extracted from 1 litre of crude oil?

My point to make it clear that the price of petrol can lower than the price of crude oil it was extracted from. Or am I wrong.

I even Googled it and it gave me the response BELOW:

From 1 litre of crude oil, you can extract approximately \(0.45\) to \(0.55\) litres of petrol (gasoline). The exact amount varies depending on the specific type of crude oil and the refinery's configuration, as crude oil also yields other products like diesel, jet fuel, and asphalt. Approximate yield: About 45% to 55% of a litre of crude oil can be converted into petrol.

FarahAideed:
If not for the greed of the man and his fuel import friends fuel should not be more than 387 ...

Who decieve Nigerian pass the present govt that has completely killed the economy with nothing to show for it
How can fuel be 387 when 1 litre of crude oil is over N600?

Why did he allow the importation of petrol? Because he knew that if there was a ban on importation (which exist in the Petroleum Industry Act), Dangote would not waste time and increase the price.

The government can not keep borrowing to subsidize fuel. It was destroying the economy.
Politics › Re: Coup Plot: Timipre Sylva Flees Nigeria To Senegal Enroute To Argentina!! by grandstar(m): 9:38pm On Oct 28, 2025
Once the coup "succeeds", they announce that the fuel subsidy is back and that petrol is now N200/litre and Nigerians would be ecstatic.

The masses love to be deceived!

Mandate1:
all these are cock and bull story. Do you think you're talking to an illiterate? Buhari borrowed this, Buhari did that. Is Tinubu not even borrowing? I no get strength to reply you.
I don't support all the borrowing by Tinubu.

But there is a big difference between Buhari and Tinubu: there debt sustainability

Debt sustainability means that the government is in a better position to service its debt.

Government revenue is rising fast, so government is in a better position to service.
Family › Re: I Have So Much Resentment Towards My Parents by grandstar(m): 8:28pm On Oct 28, 2025
Nwaikpe:
This is exactly how you feel when you grow into adulthood without leaving your adolescence behind.

During adolescence, everyone feels like the actions and words of our parents were always overbearing.

The moment we enter adulthood, we see beyond the screens of childishness and appreciate every one of those moments as love.

Don't be surprised, the things that these children may have experienced from that their 'parents,' may not be up to 1/5 of what we experienced. But we still love our parents and wil continue loving them till our last days.
It does not work that way.

I have an uncle who failed his children. As a civil servant with the state government, he bought a car.

Yet, his first born is a stark illiterate. One was a scavenger in Lagos. We all thought he was dead. One is an itinerant schizophrenic. Another one is heavy drug user. The only one in the family with any hope is the last daughter who has a kid in university. She want s all her 4 kids to b e very successful. Meanwhile, she is married to a good for nothing man who is always haggard looking.

Despite this, their dad felt entitled to the children's money. He expected them to give him money.

He is late now. He was staying with his eldest son and then disappeared. His soon claimed he was suffering from dementia and went out and never returned.

I suspect he died in his son's house and the man just dug a pit and buried the man there.

Should his illiterate son celebrate his death with a huge party?
Family › Re: I Have So Much Resentment Towards My Parents by grandstar(m): 6:20pm On Oct 28, 2025
My mum was the bomb.

I can't say the same of my dad.

Parents shpould never deliberately fail their children. The child carries the failure as an adult alone.

The world would judge you, and not your parents as an adult.

Islam › Re: Gumi Seeks Divorce Without Compensation For Muslim Women by grandstar(m): 6:10pm On Oct 28, 2025
Women should be given compensation too. Why should only the husband be deserving of compensation and not the woman.

The sauce that is good for the gander, is also good for the goose.

If the man does not have to pay compensation to the woman, neither should the woman.

This is misogyny for lack of a better word.
Islam › Re: Gumi Seeks Divorce Without Compensation For Muslim Women by grandstar(m): 6:07pm On Oct 28, 2025
Women should be given some form of compensation.

Domestic abuse was not what they signed up for. It was never part of the wedding agreement.

Politics › Re: Nigeria Loses $6.8bn To Oil Production Shortfalls In 8 Months by grandstar(m): 12:03pm On Oct 28, 2025
This is why government needs to desperately diversify revenue generation from crude oil. The nation would no longer be held to ransom by crude oil production shortfalls.

The new tax law will ensure more revenues will certainly flow into government coffers now.

Can you see the contradiction?

First, you accuse the government of encouraging food importation for the purpose of bringing down the price. Next, you claim government is hoarding the food.

sammirano2:
First class in any private uni is equivalent to 2.2 In a top Fed uni.
Overseas, getting first class isn't hard.

It is because the public universities are not hungry for students. If the federal government stops funding and they charge the full value of a degree, they may be less stingy with giving out First Class.
