The 'saturation' on this Akwa Ibom governor is quite something. Dem drag the saturation reach the end.

That said, good development. Good to encourage DILIGENT local manufacturers who offer cost and associated advantages.

Yes, The Ibru family is extremely wealthy and connected. I think the family "collectively" is wealthier than Dangote. They've got investments/assets in almost every important sector of the economy. The Ibru port complex alone is a multi-billion money spinner.

PS: The Adelekes are non-factor here. They don't have it like that. It's OBO that gave them that wealth PR. There are wealthier Yoruba families.

Even Tunde Folawiyo alone is wealthier than the Adelekes. But he is dead silent.

That said, it is ridiculous to say that the Ibrus are wealthier than Dangote. Not anywhere close to close. Forget old name. In fact, a lot of the new kids on the block with access to new money schemes (related or unrelated to government funds) would casually put the Ibrus to shame when it is a matter of cash. Even their previously conspicuously extravagant children (Obaro and Co) have been forced into hiding because they simply lack contemporary liquidity and can no longer compete!

Was he talking to you busybody? Wailing Almijiri.

Was I talking to your despicable self, you zombie? Now get lost forever.

Is this degenerate bastard still talking?

Continue telling stupid lies to justify nonsense...

"The average price of gasoline around the world is 1.32 U.S. Dollar per litre. However, there is substantial difference in these prices among countries. As a general rule, richer countries have higher prices while poorer countries and the countries that produce and export oil have significantly lower prices. One notable exception is the U.S. which is an economically advanced country but has low gas prices. The differences in prices across countries are due to the various taxes and subsidies for gasoline. All countries have access to the same petroleum prices of international markets but then decide to impose different taxes. As a result, the retail price of gasoline is different".

Man I miss that era.

I don't want to see or hear any news about this stupid man. Let him just be ignored and forgotten until his time on earth is up.

Useless idiot.

So that he will balance well well and corner his own billions. Who PwC help.

Thank you, OP.

It's puzzling how there's some kind of elite conspiracy to deliberately complicate what should be a simple argument concerning this subsidy removal of a thing.

As as long as I can remember, I have argued that any talk about removing subsidy on fuel simply means that the government would be punishing poor Nigerians for its own inefficiency, incompetence and corruption. It's as simple as that, in spite of any laboriously long arguments our 'professors' want to make to the contrary.

1. Professionally and continuously audit the fuel consumption numbers and subsidy payments regime to plug loopholes.

2. Tackle smuggling of subsidised fuel across Nigeria's borders

3. Make sure that Nigeria's publicly owned refineries work at full capacity, and remove any bottlenecks that impede the creation of new small and large private refineries

4. Supply crude to these local refineries at rebated prices if possible, in Naira of course. Give the local refineries tax waivers where necessary

5. The DPR (or whatever its current incarnations are called) should be doing its job to tackle hoarding and manipulation)

Frankly I don't care if anyone says all of these are easier said than done. It's not rocket science, and if we can't do these, then we're buttressing the point being made about government's incompetence/inefficiency which the masses SHOULD NOT take responsibility for!

jconsulting:
You see why Nigeria can never be better , hatred is in our gene the same PDP we are all shouting over 8 years ago that we don't want anymore is what some morons are craving for.

Let us assume that now Atiku assume power do you think he will revert the exchange rate, or revert back to paying of subsidy to his cohort.

Atiku will even sell NNPC and fuel can be any price , then you all will start shouting again that Tinubu was better the same way some are prasing Buhari now.

Remember PDP has been starving for 8 years if they eventually come back they will be worse than menace of their 16 years.

Nigeria is plague with Leadership problems

Don't quote me to spit out rubbish on my mentions. You and who was shouting about PDP eight years ago? So throughout APC's eight years with your useless Buhari and now even more useless Tinubu, Nigerians were singing and dancing? Don't get on my fucking nerves. I'm barely restraining myself.

Anybody but this useless BAT is acceptable to me. I can't tolerate these Yoruba ronu miscreants fouling the atmosphere with their bullshit.

Even if the run off is between BAT and Atiku, we all know Atiku would brutalise that idiot at the polls.

Peter Obi all the way, but if not, then let Atiku have it.

Supremos:
All other presidents scored at least 25% in Abuja. The electoral law didn't say you should won Abuja, it said score at least 25% in Abuja.

I'm so proud of Nigerians, as represented by the Centre of Unity known as Abuja, for roundly rejecting that drugged out thief.

The way these Yoruba BAT supporters denounce this Abuja matter, you would think that Abuja is one of the South East states. Remind them that Abuja is the capital of Nigeria in which all tribes are well represented, which makes it unthinkable that their BAT who claimed to have won the election couldn't even score up to 25% of the vote, all they would do is blab shamelessly.

Abuja is the Centre of Unity, since Lagos now belongs to the Yorubas. It doesn't make sense for you to want to rule Nigeria without being able to get at least a quarter of the vote. Otherwise you must be a very big thief.

Mumu don take colos, arizona and ice with God knows what else... come begin feel like Brooklyn gangster.

All these drug abusers wreaking havoc on society. Wasted generation.

You're mad. So I should spend money on you and then satisfy you again on top again. Ogun kee you.

Jakemedg:
Soldiers are not people you should have problems with especially Nigerian soldiers.
You can kill police men and nothing may happen but not soldiers .Just losing a colleague alone can bring the beast out of them.

How many colleagues have they lost to BH and bandits and how many beasts have been brought out of them as a result?

Let them unfuck each other if possible. That would certainly be more newsworthy.

ArrestWike:
Lol, see foolish talk. The idiot thinks abroad is like Nigeria where soldiers will shoot anyone that comes close to him.

Wike, they will beat you up abroad and there is nothing you will do about it. In abroad, even politicians are pelted there how much more a nobody like you who won't even be recognized by any protocol.

I can only laugh at you.

He thinks his aro baga boys or the coalition of the other colour mumus loafing around Europe would be enough to protect him.

It is now clear that Wike's politics isn't sound because he got high on his own supply. There has to be method to one's madness. Even if you're power drunk, you have to manage the optics of your drunkenness carefully for tomorrow's sake.

Enemies left, right and centre. Who exactly does he regard as his strong base now for future public office?

And to think that nobody rates him on his own accord. He only gets mileage now because he is the Rivers State Governor who can spray the money. When that tenure ends what next? Unfortunate really. He has reached a dead end.

hyduffy:
we must not fall for their insults and rantings all the time. I don't know if u're frm d east, but It's time we starts turning a blind eye to their insults and cheap talks.., rather than quoting them.

No doubt. Just that these irritating slum dwellers need to be reminded of their miserable station in life sometimes. But by and large, I agree with you.

Wonderful. I've been waiting to hear this.

The perversion, injustice and morbid dysfunction in Nigeria stinks to high heavens.

To think that 99% of those Adamu-mus employed there are clueless and unworthy bastards who got there strictly via nepotism and corruption. Some of them don't even know the difference between upstream and downstream, and most of them have probably never heard of shale oil, but they are there answering NNPC staff, and feeding fat at the expense of the rest of the country.

General indeed. I laugh. These fat fools corrupted by the billions they are amassing for themselves... Hedonistic twerps who spend every spare moment of their time frolicking with their numerous concubines, wining and dining, and generally 'chopping life'. When last did he undergo gruelling training or exercise? He probably even has high blood pressure and diabetes plus enlarged prostrate. Useless man.

Reno go deflate that him big belle with just one punch. It would be murder, and it wouldn't take up to 10 minutes.

As a political leader holding high PUBLIC office, you don't need anybody to address you 'politely' in order for you to get the message and do the right thing.

If you too like respect and dignity, why bring your miserable self out for public service? It is ridiculous. Stay in your house quietly and eat the respect that your children and other family members would serve you. We are talking about a country with serious problems. You brought yourself out to enjoy the perks of public office.... Long convoys of high end Mercedes cars, the presidential villa, and billions of naira worth of privileges and yet you dare talk about respect. God punish you there. Idiots.

If you can't solve the obvious problems on ground. If you can't think up workable solutions and meet the yearnings of millions of rightfully angry and frustrated citizens then GET THE HELL OUT OF PUBLIC OFFICE AND RETIRE TO YOUR VILLAGE. I hate this annoying sense of entitlement... You're not doing anybody a favour by being a public office holder. Don't tell me about polite engagement. Get the fucking message and do the right thing, or get lost. Period.

rossoki:
OH SHUT THE HELL UP YOU DAMN SLAVES!!!

Easily bamboozled by one flashy bit of Rambo by a country that ROUTINELY brutalizes and kills its own citizens, as witnessed by the Black Lives Matter movement and demonstrations! Policemen in America are among some of the world's most brutal, shooting citizens, especially blacks, at the drop of a hat with very little accountability. A nation of gross inequality with millions of homeless people.

Majority of the nation own guns leading to a really tragic gun crime rate.

Oh yeah..they sure ''value their citizens''.

Because they did Rambo for you.

Abeg make we hear something o jare.

Mumu people.

You are characteristically stupid, and beyond redemption. Only an idiotic animal would compare systematic racism (white cops stereotyping and targeting blacks) to a mess of a situation like Nigeria where blacks feast on their fellow blacks... Even from the same ethnic group. What is your point exactly? When last did you hear about any US soldier or policeman indiscriminately bullying another fellow (White) citizen? Besides, how shameful is it for you to compare what is an exception in the US to what is the NORM in Nigeria?

Your perverse, baseless 'nationalism' is idiotic. And you are a shameless idiot. Get lost.

Trash



Your olodo idiots have been keeping you safe since 2009 from the terrorists.

You're a worthless animal. Safe from which terrorists in which location? Some of you deserve to have your DNAs permanently obliterated to the extent that there would be no possibility of future generations emanating from you to perpetuate this kind of foolishness.

authority2006:
They still keep you safe somehow.

Safe from who exactly? Don't be stupid.

JohnBullMySon:
1. You compare when police shoot a single unarmed black man in three months to our police and army killing people in hundreds. Oga talk true na, I know sey u get brain

2. Flogging people on the street and shooting people is related yes, it shows they are unprofessional and lack the basic ense of knowing the right thing to do. It also shows they don't care about their citizens, show me where American soldiers killed their own citizens in their country, keep on defending Nigeria its like you like it like this. Infact even in the middle East, show me where us soliders are flogging somebody.

3. Go and watch us army engaging insurgents in Afghanistan and browse Nigeria army fighting Bokoharam on YouTube, if you no cry for our army watching the video, then you don't love our army

You no like army pass me oh, but guy Nigeria military needs God intervention.

Of course we don't realistically expect a 4th world shithole country like Nigeria to have the same military capabilities as the US. That's not even the point.

It would have been more bearable if our military's problem has to do with capacity and competence alone. But unfortunately it is far worse than that.

The problem involves a shameful cocktail of indiscipline, unprofessionalism and cowardice. That's why the fools would delight in brutalising unarmed civilians alone. Prancing around like deranged dogs looking for unarmed civilians to roll in the mud, issue frog jumps to, or flog. It is just shameful and ridiculous to bully people who have no means of squaring up to you.

But when they encounter armed civilians (eg Boko Haram), you would see the cowardly fools giving a million excuses about how they are poorly equipped and poorly motivated. It is shameful.

BigSarah:
If the army really did this , then they’re so dumb and incompetent

If? Come on.

These idiots are a big disgrace. Just look at how they gather themselves with their guns to oppress unarmed and defenceless civilians. That's enough to tell you how cowardly they are.

SashaGrey:
It’s scary how the world we grew up knowing in the 90’s Is gradually changing and our country is being left behind.

The guy who works in the oil company used to be the biggest guy in the hood and getting all the girls but now teenage yahoo boys are bleeping and taking their wives to the point that starting your tossing on a girl with “I work in an oil company is a very wrong move that might not get you the girl 80% of the time”.

This. I can relate somehow. Yahoo yahoo changed the game completely. Such a shame.

I remember those days when only rich kids, white collar workers, and abroad returnees ran the show. Got all the girls. Now yahoo boys don scatter market for everybody.

Inflation will destroy whatever payoff they get.

Bad investment decisions would blow away their payoff much faster than inflation. 90% of them are not street savvy, so they would not have a clue on how to run profitable ventures. Them go end up throwing millions into fire. That one sure.

How many in Nigeria.?

Since they are supposedly smart, let them start private ventures (using their skills to solve problems in exchange for income) to sustain their cushy lifestyles.

I keep saying it that if you're a dispensable employee, keyword dispensable, then you've not started life. All the carrying shoulder forming important is nonsense. If they sack you, any other fool can replace you.. so what then is your real value? Nothing.

Use your brain.. Your kaku.. To arrange private venture, profit from it m, and meet up if e sure for you.
