Brotherly, your conclusion is vague. You are in a relationship with a girl who you know for a fact you will like to marry, but the question does she feel the same about you or feel secured enough to think I will look away from other guys and stick with this man.. if she has been exposed to dating and relationships you can be rest assured that at the back of her mind, you are just one of those potentials mate to settle down with. she can't see you for your seriousness nor read your mind for it's authenticity towards her. On that note, you are not at fault but their bleeped up experiences.. So in a way. I go say if you like her enough, convinced enough that she might be catch and to make her see a future with you, engage her.. No be all women be olosho, or unworthy of having a proper relationship.. but if you are just looking for testing up and down, my brother.. you go wait tire.. most of this ladies are used to what men tell them to get what men want .. and sometimes, some even like you to share their body with you but trust me, they are not falling heads and toes for any relationship . A typical Nigerian spinster these days, sees a relationship as something that can crash anytime so they always still want to have an open space for alternatives .. you know how many guys don go visit woman, mama and papa and even get close to the family and at the end of the day everything na wash?.. Omo forget loyalty test, as this one doesn't even qualify for one.

As I pointed out, Northern are always socialist in nature and no matter how corrupt they are, they always seem to have the common man's interest at heart. You are right about Dangote being profit motivated but he is a Northern although they are still have corrupt elements, they always seem to be not so greedy as the rest. Look at airpeace charging exorbitant prices, Lagos to Eastern Nigeria 500k
Here you have Dangote slashing price of fuel to 600naira. That's the difference.

Every industry or sector dependency on how flexible they can be differs and not based on individualism. Take for instance, there are a lot of times between Q1-Q3( i.e Jan-August) that those airlines will have to fuel their airplanes to fly even with just 20 or less than 50 passengers on board. An airline is not like bus terminal that they will wait until the bus is full before they embark on a journey. Once time their time on the tarmac is due, they either fly or cancel flight.. and considering it's the same quantity of fuel, the same fees, salaries, maintenance and mandatory regulatory charges they will use to fly less than 50 passengers is the same they will use to fly a fully booked flight, you can imagine what it must be like. And now that it's holiday season,they have the chance to recoup some of those looses to offset their balance sheet. Remember they are also in the business for profit and not public charity. They aren't actually forcing everyone to fly, it simply means during festivities period, this what we are charging, not because they are greedy but they also have been cutting looses for the past 8-9months.

Dangote is a business man. The interest of Nigeria is not his first priority but the continuous existence, growth and profitability of his conglomerate is. And that can only be possible with Nigeria as a nation that is working, hence it's a two way street affair for him on that front. This refinery of his, is just one part of the whole machine of that conglomerate of his. Making a deal with a previous administration for a parallel system as you have stated is merely him ensuring his indestructible operating module after that administration leaves office.. as for the fuel price cut, fuel can never go back to 200naira, the lowest and if it all is 500naira and that is a big maybe and a long shot for any realistic market player to understand.

Dangote is working to monopolies Nigeria oil sector, if Rockefeller can do it, it seems plausible in the unregulated Nigerian and most African market sector.

His major problem is the stumbling blocks he is having with foreign importers who sees him as a huge threat to their own livelihood, and not just because of their political affiliation but also the depth of his own war chest. Each government will want to take a bite from his cake either he likes it or not.. He could have built that refinery anywhere in Nigeria, but he chose Lagos for a specific reason. Market share and port access for international market.. Transportation and logistical burdens to other parts of the country its a problem he leaves in the hand of the local suppliers.

As for Tinubu and the Northern Elites, it's clear that he doesn't wish to dance to their tunes that much, and they hate being tolerated which seems likely the message he is sending them. They are in a bind with him, at least for now, because surely even if you want to oust Tinubu, they know the north does not have a candidate that has been able to cut across all Nigerian since Yar'Adua.. Buhari was a strong headed man from day one, be it as a military HOS or a democratically elected president.. well until he became so placid that he didn't care what happens to the country in the last stretch of his tenure.. The north either they will accept and live with it that Tinibu will not be dictated to as they were hoping for, or they find a viable candidate from the south that will challenge Tinubu's presidency come the next election, a candidate with strong character record, good backings and a heavy national message that cut across the major tribes and the relevant minority groups, the north will just be looking, and they might end up being divided for the first time in the history of Nigeria's political regional space because some of them are seeing way better option outside the whole North coalition in terms of them determining who runs the country. Their northern norms and identity (a major glue) is so imbedded in their social and economic daily life that there is no other option than just going with the flow. If GEJ can be brought back into the fold. Then, you are starting to pinch someone like Tinubu.. if they can't get him on board, well they have the next 6 years to strategize.

FOLYKAZE:
Dangote reduced his price to corner the people, their sympathy and every other things to himself. He then systematically attack NMDPRA, choosing the head, Farouk, for his hits. This guy is simply playing a kind of resistance as it is played out in the movie Money Heist. (simply make the established system the villain, give the populace some goodies to earn their sympathy, then direct them to destroy the enemy, the establishment). In this case NMDPRA which gave licence out to importers to scout refined products from Russia is the establishment. The question is that why should Dangote lose sleep if anyone choose to import their productd and sell at lose? Why should Dangote cry if importers chose to import and spill their products all over the sea?

Another question people fail to ask, what magic happened now that made Dangote reduce the price of his product? Has crude oil price in the international market crashed? Did FG waived import duties or the shipping cost suddenly reduced? All along, Dangote is manipulating the market selling exhorbitantly to Nigerians and now that he sees some guys ar going out to bring in fuel which could compete with him, he panicked, rush and reduced price, and now attacking NMDPRA for issuing licence for importation. What he has been doing is profiteering which is a crime.

Nigeria should wise up, the Greek gift and sudden Santa gifting from Dangote is to weed out competition. And the importers are here to stay. If they can get fuel at a reduced price from anywhere, they should be allowed to do it.

Subjectively, Dangote has always been monopolistic in business practices. But that's seems not the case here. The question is why are the so called competitors panicking.. they had the autonomy to have slashed prices way long before Dangote came into that sector, but they refused to do so because they are also profiting from all the shenanigans attached with the fluctuating oil crises, market prices and the power it bestows on them to move the market as they wish to. If Dangote wants to corner the the market in favour of the populace and stiffen out those preeks, God will give him strength to do so. Call it monopoly or populace manipulation, those organizations are headed by crooks whose main interest is only their benefits and profit margins and not the consequence of whatever their policies have on the general masses. Unnecessary hikes here and there.. so kudos to him taking them head on. He won't cripple them but he most definitely has the might to drag them for as much as he able to for now.

Now, business wise, Dangote making this move is because EU have refused to buy from him because they claim his product does not meet their standard yet, and when you have a load of product that your biggest or projected customers says no to, you want to sell it off, clear the storages and if by God you are able to cripple the European market that rejected your product while at it, all the better. He should continue slashing the price, Russia should go sell else where.. if those importers still want to go down that route, I hope he will be able stiffen them out of the African market for good. Enough of their greed and plundering and the so called locals helping them achieving it.

But disclosing his family affairs is a bit too low for someone like Dangote.. and by the way $5m, for 4 kids in 6 years doesn't seem that steep for what those men can afford legally if you do the math properly.. that boils down to about $800k a year.. any top oil exec sees more than that quarterly.. unless, if it's $5m for all 4 per year, which I don't think makes any sense as that will equate to app $30m..

But all in all, him dealing with them is a relief package for the general populace.. if fuel price reduce, production can increase a little bit and price of commodities will slash a little bit even if not too much but at least the headache of doing calculation for oil prices will reduce first.. the excess funds can be used for other things, hire extra new staffs, maybe starting a new building to expand your company capacity or mayb some new equipments, or any other ways that can facilitate growth rather than buying exorbitantly from those preeks upstate.. my take

tejpot:
Project left and right. Government should be a Continuum, if you can't finish it the next should do.

Its a private project.. private not government

tunjijones:
For Facebook, igbos have started crying as usual. Saying that they are marginalized in Nigeria. Not know that the case with obi cubana is a family affair.

Their victim mentality is next to none. The civil war really damaged the Igbos psychic.

That was the general idea when the news broke. Clarity has set in, and people knows what the issue is now. And in a way, points out a fact that most Nigerians have been saying all this while since the civil war, that igbos have been playing the victim card systemically and blaming everything and everyone around them except themselves for whatever circumstance they stumble into.. including government affairs.

That being said, I hope his good will does replenish his losses though because he no easy and from people closest to him Cubana himself no be bad person. I read he lost close to a Billion from his merchs and exotic collections of drinks during the evacuation.

Obviously Traore as a person knows the might of the Nigerian Military FirePower if push comes to shove.. But here's where there impunity which he is basically operating on kicks in, he may be wary of the Nigeria Army but he is definitely not afraid of the president of Nigeria. I can tell you that wholeheartedly. If it were Abacha, do you think we will still be talking about this or Burkina even trying to raise a voice.? Traore is luring Aso Rock and stylishly daring it's powers because by holding those soldiers still, it's more like lets see what will happen and eventually we will release them but on his terms and not on Aso Rock terms.. it's all about testing powers, and if Aso rock does not respond to this decisively and find a way to show force and less of a restraint at the same time. I'm afraid he's going to get away with it. In the long run, it does not mean much for the country when and after he eventually gets ousted out of power by another ambitious man in uniform like him.. but for his short term regime, it's going to be a big energy boost.

And to those who are on SM thinking it's about slogans, they are just SM Noise makers . Traore has 3 options in the next 5-10 years, that's if he last that long.. 1, peacefully return the country back, and end military rule with ease... And loose your goodies and with his Russia Sugar Daddy. Which he is not interested in, 2, Keep holding onto power by every means necessary and run on this waves of support you are getting until you slowly transition and consolidate the power on to himself from the present military rule and enter a democratic state or whatever type of government but as long as it's not military, by then, the other region will hate his guts for what he made them commit to and the country at large (Burkina Faso) would not have progressed or standard of life more than 5% during the 20-30years that it will take him to fully consolidate that power if that his route.. hence it's Libya and Gadaffi, all over again.. and we know how that went. or 3rd, Go along with Russia plan and see how many territories you can carve out before someone else oust him out of that office.. so it's either, Handover, Revolution, Or Exile.. his fate as it is is sealed.. he is a military dictator, no matter how much honey he tries to deep his balls in..

As for the Burkina Army itself, against the Nigeria Army, it's a no brainier.. it just doesn't fit well. But I will say this. I thoroughly blame Tinubu or whoever gave him that advice to go ahead with trying to scoop intelligence in Burkina without thinking it through. They could just have easily stepped back after Benin and, face their own internal security problems. If france wants Intel, they should go to USA, they are the ones with all the technologia...

jmoore:
All these d1ck measuring contest with no concrete criteria.

Dem dey use picture to judge?

Even though you are not an Igbo or maybe not that from the state.. commend good development when you see one.. No matter the level of the progress, progress is progress

esnbrutality:
That writeup was very direct and was not hard to comprehend. Is understanding an issue for you? Anyway it's normal with Tinubu supporters.

In summary...

Your airline violated airspace without informing the host nation of it's intended flight path. They forced it to land and your plane and soldiers are in captivity.

Is that not simple to understand?

The question you should ask is this...

What are these soldiers doing in the Sahel
Who gave the go ahead for the departure.
Who were they going to meet?
What was the purpose of the trip

As regards your hubris concerning recon. You can't violate a countries airspace, when it's obvious the country is Not your friend. To these countries ECOWAS is DEAD.

Go school ..na IGBO obsession no make you know book

If you can understand properly you will realize, they didnt force the plane to land. They were already operating in the airspace, and they used the inflight emergency as an excuse to force land, which will prompt their own air force to question the motive of the force landing in the first place especially giving the latest report from Benin republic.. so no they didn't force the plane to land, they felt violated after realizing there weren't clearance, and they feel the need to make a statement regarding that and to further make it known that they are Sahel and not with ECOWAS bloc anymore. As for the other part of your write up which seems like you are in jubilant mood about the guys response and the news in General.. Burkina still na small country, so make you relax. But I'm not surprised, your name na ESN. Lol I tire for people like you. Nigeria no be small like that, corrupt and underdeveloped yet, but be it Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani, South South President ruling, the country itself na Giant of Africa for a reason.. So stop drooling. You deh wet the floor

Sermwell:
Your naivety is legendary!! Nothing will happen to an ex president or anybody for that matter in whatever confrontation that they have with traditional rulers! What has happened to Obasanjo since then, what of the Kano state government, the British government for the massacre in Benin Kingdom, Wike for insulting a group of traditional rulers, the ENDSARS protesters who ransacked the Obas palace and took away his shoes and staff? All these stools are useless and powerless on their own, except the powers government ascribe to them. You can keep decieving yourself, but the government decides who mount any traditional stool except they're not interested. They can install and remove kings, and that's why traditional institutions are under the control of state commissioners or local government by virtue of our laws! Just one phone call from Tinubu will install KWAM1 and nothing will happen. You better wake up.

I can't discuss this further with you. You obviously haven't given it much thought that those in government belong to some Traditional Cult or Order of some kind, and that their rules are not the same public rules that people like you see as the only or ultimate set of rules that exist. Government or not, there are still certain stuffs that Ogberis like you will never catch up to. The same OBj that you are talking about. Publicly apologized, well not directly anyways but subliminally by prostrating for Ooni.. you can't meddle with certain aspect and expect to go free, and like I said, it's not about today.. there is an adage in Yoruba that says, a young man cursed and abused an Iroko tree, and he kept looking back, unknowingly to him Iroko doesn't kill in a day.. if you grasp that then you will know.. if you don't, you are at liberty to hold on to your opinion. Ire o

Sermwell:
You're lieing to yourself!! The government installs and removes obas now. Except the throne is irrelevant or the government is not interested. If Tinubu wants him to mount the throne in this case, your so called ifa is irrelevant!! Know this and know peace!

Government doesn't install traditional rulers. All the state government does is present the installed monarch with his staff of office. And as for Tinubu getting involved, even he knows enough to understand that this is non of his concern. It's just unnecessary headache to get involved.. and by the way, he knows no humane will live forever.. Any mistake by him trying to interfere with something as deep rooted as tradition will be not be in the best interest of his family in the long run.. that whole debacle with an ex president insulting those traditional rulers, you are naive if you think it's swept under the rug just like that. Soon enough, the shield will be heavy to lift and eventually it will drop off, that's when the real consequences will start if they wishes it so. Government comes and go. But Monarchy has been existing for millennials and will still continue to do so even though the power of it's office is not compared to the government, but tradition still cut through all that.

humberjade:
It is so sad that Traditional Stools have been bastardised in Yorubaland. It used to be the Oracle choosing the next Obas, but now, once you are rich and politically connected, buying the crown is a piece of cake.

Ijebus would regret it if they allow this arrogant man buy the throne. They need a unifier, someone who can command respect home and abroad.

The Kingmakers still consult and adhere to the direction of the oracle.. this is them saying he should prove he is a descendant of a legitimate royal blood like the rest of the applicants. It's until then, they will start, screening them and eventually making consultation on the last few candidate pertaining who the rightful monarch will be. ifa has always, is still very much involved in all of Yoruba kingship selection process.

43Ronin:
We the people living in the region are happy we are not being taxed to death just so that we can chest beat.

Not to be adding salt to injury.. but you do acknowledge that their is something called chest beating.. and it is akin to some easterners then ?

chiagozien:
Meaning his future generations can't survive Without people they hate?

Lol.. it's not about hate.. it's about not seeing eye to eye on certain principles, your own interpretation of it gears towards the idea of hate which on it's own is a very a strong negative feeling, but very much misunderstood.. Now speaking of future generations, a country is bigger than it's present generation. Your misinterpretation of anger with hatred is your own opinion but it's not a national character. All Nigerians work together, if they hate each other, trust me, you'd feel it. People are angry that's for sure, but the ones certain people are following in terms of some sort ideology, be it religiously motivated or ethnically incited to unleash a sense of hatred towards each other has been effective but nonetheless, it's merely a short term problem in the general scope of things. If hatred exist, and not bickering, but actual hatred, Nigeria as a group of people won't function together. I'm not talking about the government here mind you, I'm saying individually..

chiagozien:
Someone that hate me will be telling me I will suffer if Nigeria divide,yet him that will be enjoying is crying against division.


I wonder why he won't want to separate so that me his enemy will suffer so much 😂🤣🤣🤣

Because unlike you, he understands the importance of nationalism. Not just for himself, but for future generations. Long terms goals, not short term problems

This whole tax bill starting from 800k is just ludicrous. It's voodoo economics in plain sight. While Tax on it's own is a good way for raising money for governments, but it's never a solution to a developing economy like Nigeria's. Take for instance, someone running 2 or 3 electronics shops, most definitely that person will make at least 5m in a year as from sales.. Not profit oo, but sales.. And now what if most those goods were actually collected as loan, as in sell and pay later as most people operate business of that nature.. Now, at the end of the year the person owns profit isn't more about 20-25% of that 5m operating cost.. And now you government steps in to collect 500k fron that, mind you, government is asking for the 500k that he or she might not have as in cash in hand or available balance on his account or directly though, but because the transactions in his or her account reflects that 5m transaction has already been recorded on this account.. that person is liable to pay the tax by force..

The whole go and register your company issue isn't for the present Nigeria system.. I fully disagree with this PIT bill. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. If you are taxing corporate organization to raise money that is understandable but taxing a normal person without even any incentive to pay the tax is a joke.
What are they getting in return for the tax? Is it security, good infrastructure, medical assistance or what in particular.. I am an advocate for a Nigeria as a nation that works but this I have been saying is just like broad daylight robbery.. why do I have to be keeping money in crypto when I have my own account in my country.. paying tax is not a bad idea but it's tits for tat.. what are Nigerians getting for it. Even in the US they still have tax refunds and all that.. and if it's about loan, not everyone likes the idea of loan. As for me personally, I loathe it so what's beneficial for people like me.. absolutely nada.. and to even think that AlphaBeta will still be involved again..it just seems a little bit sketchy. Because when you think about it, even the 20m plus Nigerians in diaspora, 3 out of 5 already feel this is unnecessarily unjust..

Lol.. it's funny how some people think though. Is she your girlfriend to begin with? If not then there's no reason to feel much guilty about mishandling the situation. The only thing you did that didn't agree with me was your own assumption that she is coming to have sex with you or probably you giving the idea and she not on that level. I don't know how old you are so I'd limit my comment.. I said so because to me, a woman that wants to sleep with you either you promise her money or not would have already made up her mind that she is coming to have a nice time with you

Racoon:
Meanwhile many citizens of this nation can't afford a decent meal because of the hardship inflicted by these same set of heartless people.

Did you actually read this piece or you just wanted to voice an already made assumption by jumping into an unrelated conclusion regarding the topic. Because if you did, you'd understand better what the whole evening was all about. Mind you.. don't bother to respond. You can do away with further vague commentary and recklessness

If Appeal is on the table.. it's good development but won't help much..because most of these guys are leaving soon enough under 10 years. but it's good development nonetheless to keep him in public mind and not just his sympathizers mind alone. That said, NK will likely be held for at least 20 years before any major push for his release will be granted by any government of Nigeria, be it this present administration or the one coming in after his tenure. If that happens to be a northerner, him case go stretch longer, if possible someone like GEJ happens to be able capture what is left with the already distabilized South South and SE political structure and strength, there might be a chance. But if na SW or Northern man again.. he should keep faith that if doesn't die in prison due to health reasons, he won't celebrate his 81st birthday in prison, because anything until then is currently off the table

Both seems to have stable system. If there's a glitch it'd be better to report to both parties via customer service and provide your receipt. Should be resolved

As at now, it will be better for Moscow to thread lightly.. her main back up for non nuclear warfare is china. And Xi is also keeping everything he has should in case this whole proxy bruhaha comes up rushing. Ukraine, well through and with the US Military aid really diminished a little bit of Moscow's strength and does seems like it's about time they settle that first before stepping out for another major military operation.

What is the karat and weight of the whole thing for it to cost 23 million?

Una go just dey call money anyhow.

22k is about 182,000 naira there or so. If those coins are solid enough, it could weigh up to the 110grams. Plus the other one which will make sense for the whole thing to amount up to that quotation.. Even 11gram pendant alone of 18k at 143k runs into about 1.6m and that's just for a simple Jesus cross piece pendant

HausaIgboYoruba:
There’s an allegation that the NSA’s office has been involved in talks with bandits. An Islamic scholar said some officials from that office called a meeting in Kaduna and asked the scholars to tell people that the rise of Fulani banditry came from years of government neglect of Fulani communities. He himself is a Fulani man and sympathetic to them being killed.
Although, he's been in the forefront to see that Catholic school children kidnapped in Papiri, Agwara in Niger State are released because he just held a meeting with school management in Kontagora, Niger State. At least he is better than the Governor, Bago who is busy arguing with the school on the numbers of school children kidnapped

While it makes sense to be wary of them, and your points are valid, but it will be detrimental to their own cause too as well to go against the state. In a country like Nigeria where almost all this guys are looting and not paying taxes, it will be easy for the the state, and a reasonable actionable figure head to start going after their assets and whatever means they are funding their agendas. Tax evasion alone is enough for arraignment, discharge them of that and bring in their mismanagement of funds and other nefarious activities they are involved in. All Nigeria elites have something under their rug, unless you don't care to look for it.. Too many free funds moving about and too many hoarders who uses this said funds to perpetuate acts of terror against the state and their own region in the name of making it seems it's the Nigeria government that is not looking after their interest in those regions.. Fulani this or that does not matter, the truth is northern elites knows their youth, the whole rankede system has to be brought to light and northern youths needs massive reorientation programs. Not for this lost once consistently constituting nuisances though but for future ones yet unborn or still growing.. that's the core to the problem.. Give their women liberty, freedom to trade and systemically reduce dependency on their patriarchal systems. If that's not address, changing appointments won't do much, either you end up killing more people which will only aggravate the same issue or you are a bit lenient which on it's own too will only give room and more confidence to the perpetrators. So in a way, I do agree with you being wary. But it is a problem with a solution not without one

You can't deal with a problem like insecurities with just rehabilitation program alone. They have to know there is consequences as well. The rehabilitation program is too much of a lenient incentive.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
And what will now happen to the rehabilitation programme for repentant terrorists and the huge amounts budgeted for security?

Be like say you no love your life.

You can't deal with a problem like insecurities with just rehabilitation program alone. They have to know there is consequences as well. The rehabilitation program is too much of a lenient incentive. They have to know either you drop your weapon or you die.

Misterone:
Your answer to his question is 💯% accurate. Most people think fighting terrorists is like fighting a conventional warfare! No! It's not! Most of these terrorists are normal citizens by day and terrorists when they are activated. Passing by them, you will not know. Some dress in rags and act as if they're looking for scrap (iron damage), whereas they're with an AK-47 in their cart. How can the army fight such people with multiple missile lunchers?

I deh tell you.. As far as I'm concerned now though.. this is when all those ICT grads have their opportunity to display their skills.. develop a killer software or algorithm that can listen to and trace calls to specific cell towers and monitor it's IO.. then assist make a killing selling it to the Nigeria Govt while still assisting the country at the same time

Dbegining:
Very irresponsible for the FG to not lift a Former President in a direct situation like that.


Shameful really.

This misleading headlines even mentioned that FG facilitated the move for Abidjan.. it just hits in the guts sometimes seeing how critizing Nigerians can be a lot of the times. Will cote'd voir just singularly out of sympathy come to Jonathan's aid. The directives obviously came from Aso Rock to make sure the quickest and fastest possible way to get him out of that country happened.. and isn't that what counts.. ?

That nonsense doesn't exist in the east.. unless you are some political figure or some sort travel risk individual.. but say normal person.. enroute you are very very safe.. even while there, you are still safe.. just no do pass yourself. Whatever you are going there to do. Face your business

Makavelli001:
Yes. Just as u said that bobo knows that the north cannot do it alone without the south....don't you think that bobo is shooting him self on the leg by fighting the igbos?
Just take a look at olu's economy polices in Lagos and the sentencing of NK while Gumi & Bandits walks free.
Don't u think it will jeopardize the unity of the south?

The sentencing of Nnamdi Kanu can be charged to the his advisors who for one convinced him to handle a case like that as a civil case.. Even though, NK will never serve life in imprisonment that's for sure, but about when he will be free, I can't really say. As uniting the south goes, the south as a whole is bigger than one man even bigger than Bobo himself, he is just one man inside the south project. We do know for a fact the south will unite, it's a given. It's blessed enough, well educated enough, well industrialized enough and most importantly well exposed enough. Personally if I am to say, it feels wrong pronouncing that sentence of life imprisonment, because East no small.. but as a president, its a sensitive and a thin line to walk on. NK is a very influential individual surely but he had also openly made himself an enemy of state. To me, I will say this just my opinion, a political solution is needed to free him, not court rulings
