I never said petrol will sell for N40 per litre under Buhari – David-West
By Sylvester Ugwuanyi on April 11, 2016

David-West1
A former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Prof Tam David-West who served when Muhammadu Buhari was the Head of State, has denied saying that President Buhari will crash the price of petrol to N40 per litre, regretting that he must have been misquoted.

This was as he stressed that it was shameful that Nigeria is still involved in importation of petroleum products despite having four refineries capable of meeting the energy needs of the country. He insisted that there is nothing wrong with the nation’s refineries.

The Professor of Virology who spoke to Daily Sun in a telephone interview at the weekend, clarified that he only canvassed the removal of some 14 items currently listed in the petrol pricing template as that which would help crash petrol price to N40.

It's hard to believe that, a mega project cutting across 6 States was omitted/forgotten in budget. What was Amechi thinking,?

Oh I forgot he was busy, trying to rig river state election, when he needed concentration.....

Glad that some of you are recovering...

Op, don't fail to inform us, when he is hospitalised.
Thanks for ur kind follow up.

I comment my reserve...

We should have been talking about building more executive prisons now. But am so disappointed that with all the campaign noise, from Apc crew, Buhari is yet to convict a single looter.

kestolove95:
We don't need u

How would you need people that say the truth. The same way u wanted to oust Kachukwu out, cos he said the truth....

Very easy to find. They can trace the captors from what(news) , he recently reported or what he is about to report.

Let them juggle btw the two, he would be found....

Can't use my costly data to watch this crape

oduastates:
Absolute nonsense..

obj regime.......

Oil production - 2 million barrels a day
Population - 120 million
Average Price / barrel - over $35


A decade later.....
Same thing except
Population is larger, greedier and less educated.
Needs are greater.
The politicians, more corrupt.
The country, more dysfunctional.
More rent seeking "businessmen".
A bloated and more incompetent civil service.

Nigeria is a broken country. A country whose revenues are less than they were a decade ago.Adjusted for inflation, even lesser.
The country is overdue for bankruptcy.
Will clowns allow it or get out to protest for renewal?

What can be done
1 the National assembly has to be cut down to size.
2 Government parastatals workers(NUPENG) earning more than their equivalent abroad have to be cut down
3 The universities must be made self funding and Government scholarship given for science and technology courses only. Federal government colleges should be handed over to states.
4 shutdown unviable airports or handover airports to states. privatised viable airports
5 To reduce imported fuel consumption, cities like lagos should promote cycling.
6 Rail track within city limits should be handed over to states for mass transit.
7 No of government agencies drastically reduced.
......... I can go on

Hey! Did you read the instructions well before commenting? Op said If u were not up to 18yrs in 1999 don't comment.

U sounded 10yrs as@ 1999....

On point oop.... Just waiting for for replies from NL zombies

What is going on guys?
Do we still have a United Nigeria again?
Am not sure of buharis/Apc mission....
Finding it so hard to believe anyone of them....

Op How I wish u can send pictures too.... These people need to be disgraced the more with their pictures on every paper, not just their names.

I thought they said that, Buhari is a man of integrity.
Perhaps, i didn't hear them well....

I they said that, Buhari is a man of integrity.
Perhaps, i didn't hear them well....

Abee79:
I got a bill of 15k for enjoining the darkness
I reside along Airport road, Abuja and ran my generator for the most part of March (like 87%)!

My house is a three bedroom and I have only one AC. How did they cook up this outrageous bill? Its more than 100% of the bill I got for February (still with no light - N7,300)

God have mercy on us in Nigeria!! !

My worry is that, the birds are happy not seeing anywhere to patch, cos the trees are troubled. No one is saying anything. The civil societies, human rights activists, Occupy Nigeria group etc.... All have gone to extinction.... May God save us from tyrants.

ebonylady4real:
Pls, kindly let us know how u confirmed

The first phrase.... Based on referral..... Usually their identity

Is she married Is she married

ifyalways:
The civil marriage is very important as it is recognized by the laws of Nigeria and can on its own serve as proof of a marriage contract between 2 people.

The Civil marriage is protected under the Marriage Act, Chapter 218 of Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990 (An Act to make provisions for the celebration of marriages).
There are Two (2) types of Marriage Registries in Nigeria

A. Federal Marriage Registries

a) LAGOS – Ikoyi Registry (covers all those resident in Lagos, South-South, South East and South West)
b) ABUJA – Wuse 2 (covers all those resident in the Northern region)

B. All States have various Registries at the State and Local Government level.

There are some important things you need to know when you decide to have a Civil wedding, these are summarized below in our little guide.

1. FILING OF MARRIAGE NOTICE

a) Once the decision has been made to have a civil wedding, the intending bride or groom pick up a FORM from the Registry of their Choice to indicate their intention to marry. The form is a NOTICE FORM or otherwise called a FORM A. You are required to fill in ALL your personal details including Name, Age, Address, Occupation, Status (Single, Married, Divorced or Widow), Consent (minor under 21 years), Signature etc.

b) You would also need to have TWO (2) coloured passport photographs.

c) The form is posted on the NOTICEBOARD at the Registry for Twenty-one (21) days. The notice is also entered in a book called the Marriage Notice Book, which may be inspected during office hours without fee.

After the expiration of the notice and payment of the Prescribed Fee (this differs at each Registry, but it is usually not more than Two Thousand Naira- N2, 000), the Registrar would issue a FORM C after the following criteria has been met and satisfied:

i) that one of the parties has been resident within the district in which the marriage is intended to be celebrated

ii) that each of the parties to the intended marriage (not being a widower or widow) is twenty-one years old, and if under that age, the consent hereinafter made requisite has been obtained in writing and is annexed to such affidavit……!big grammar, simply means you have to get written permission/consent from the lady’s parent or legal guardian

iii) that there is not any impediment of kindred or affinity, or any other lawful hindrance to the marriage

iv) that neither of the parties to the intended marriage is married by customary law to any person other than the person with whom such marriage is proposed to be contracted.

After this a date is selected for the marriage ceremony

2. OATH TAKING

Once the above-mentioned things have been confirmed, the couple would swear an affidavit before the registrar or recognized minister of religion. During the sworn affidavit, the registrar would reiterate the above Prohibitive degrees and also explain the penalties involved.

Any failure to disclose a breach in any of the above makes the defaulter liable to TWO (2) years imprisonment…! Did I hear you snigger; you get prison time for lying!!

The Registrar signs a declaration/affidavit to show that the couple understands the implications under the law and have met and satisfied all that has been required of them.

The Minister upon proof that there is no lawful impediment to the proposed marriage, and that the necessary consent, if any, to such marriage has been obtained, will dispense with the giving of notice, issue the certificate, and grant his license, known as Form D, authorizing the celebration of a marriage between the parties named in such license.

A date for the wedding is selected by the couple. This would have to be within Three (3) months from the date the notice has been placed with the Registry. ….! Hurdle No 2 crossed! No hidden skeletons. Phew!

3. CELEBRATION OF MARRIAGE

The Big Day!

The couple with their families and friends would come in on the day they have chosen to finalize the marriage proceedings. There are a lot of other couples that would be around for their own celebration and as such each couple is given a Specific TIME that must be adhered to; the ceremony is usually less than thirty (30) minutes….! No unnecessary ceremonies, donations etc as against the other types of marriage celebration!! You are done with the whole affair within 2hours MAX!!!

During the proceedings, the Registrar would print the marriage certificates in duplicate and with counterfoils as in the FORM E. The officiating minister will fill up in duplicate a marriage certificate with the particulars required by Form E, and enter in the counterfoil the number of the certificate, the date of the marriage, names of the parties, and the names of the witnesses.
The certificate will be signed in duplicate by the officiating minister, by the parties, and by two or more witnesses to the marriage. The minister having also signed his name to the counterfoil will deliver one certificate to the parties, and within seven days thereafter file the same in his office.

Every Registrar will register the marriage in a book called the MARRIAGE REGISTER BOOK, every certificate of marriage filed in his office according to the FORM F …, ! By the power vested in me, by the Federal Laws, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife! You may kiss the bride :-)

ALL MARRIAGES CELEBRATED UNDER THIS ACT SHALL BE GOOD AND VALID IN LAW FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES. …….

The Civil wedding is the cheapest among the other types of marriage ceremonies, though it has got a longer process and all criteria must be met. The ceremony/celebration is over before you blink and you don’t inconvenience your guests as they are able to return to their various offices (if it’s during the week) or attend other functions (if it’s a weekend).

You can have a civil wedding with FIFTY THOUSAND Naira (N50, 000)……, yes, it can be that cheap!

YOUR TO DO LIST


GROOM
• SUIT ( you can wear one of good suits you have at home, rather than buy a new one)
• Best man attire (you don’t have to wear the same thing)
• Shirt
• Tie (Bowtie, Cravat)
• Rings
• Photography (Videography – optional)
• ‘Thank you’ envelopes - 4 ( this is meant for the officials at the Registry, they don’t ask for it but it is expected)

BRIDE
• Gown (no train gown and nothing flamboyant) or Skirt Suit
• Chief Bride’s maid attire (you don’t need a bridal train)
• Cake (optional)
• Car décor
• Catering (the best option is to have packed food, its neater and easy to manage. You also need to cater for a few officials at the Registry{not compulsory but expected})
• Drinks (Plastic bottles or Cans – takes away the stress of searching and picking bottles) All the food and drinks can be put together in a bag and handed out to the invited guests.

BOTH
• You don’t need to go through the expense of making different souvenirs; you can just make a single memento to hand over to your guests.
• You guest list can be as small as Ten (10) and as much as TWENTY (20)
• You don’t need to have printed invites; Text messages or Emails can suffice
• No expense on Rental i.e. Chairs, Tables etc
• No expense on Event Planner, hall décor etc

Should you wish to entertain your guests properly and have a sit-down with them; you can decide to pick a venue that is in close proximity to the Registry. Here, you would need to have a caterer or just get a friend to cook for you.

You can also decide to change your attire after the Registry to something simple but nice (lace material sown into a skirt or gown…, your choice)

It is good to know that you don’t need to break a bank’s vault to be legally married in Nigeria, no matter your tribe 

So, go ahead and get the ball rolling!!!


DO YOU KNOW?

FEDERAL REGISTRIES ARE EMPOWERED BY LAW TO MARRY A NON-NIGERIAN (FOREIGNER) WHO WISHES TO MARRY A NIGERIAN, PROVIDED HE/SHE HAVE SATISFIED THE STIPULATED REQUIREMENTS BY LAW.

NO MARRIAGE UNDER THE FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEVEL IS BY PROXY. BOTH PARTIES MUST BE PRESENT AT THE MARRIAGE PROCEEDINGS.

I wish u goodluck and patience

Good one

Cyojunior:
Listen, a government is either capable or not; there is no
middle ground. Nigeria is not going through anything it
hasn't gone through before. The only difference is that
when we went through this before, we had capable
hands.
.
In 1998 when General Abacha died and General
Abdulsalam took over. Abacha had stolen so much from
national coffers that till date, we still don't know how
much. But we know nobody has successfully broken his
record. Still, when General Abdulsalam took over, he was
able to increase the salary of the public service by as
much as 300%, form INEC and fund them, keep the price
of things from skyrocketting and reduce inflation rate
from 29% to 9.5%.
.
In that same 1998, oil price had dropped from $17 to $13
in the international market. Still, it didn't stop the
government from performing and from fulfilling its
promises to its people. General Abdulsalam was in
power from June 1998 to May 1999, but he was able to
fulfil his promises and set the stage for a new and
economically-stable democratic society.
.
Fastforward to 2015, there has been cases of massive
looting under the Jonathan administration. Just like
1998, there has been a drop in oil prices. Instead of the
government sitting up and solving the problems, it goes
on a blaming mission and spends a whole year blaming
the last administration. Oil price dropped from $148 to
$38 per barrel under Yaradua. We never suffered like this
then.
.
The fact that some graduates of Economics continue to
defend the failure of this government by blaming the
past administration, massive theft and drop in oil prices
is an indictment of the Nigerian educational system. The
fact that some 'public intellectuals' continue to use big
grammar to justify the failure of this administration to
live up to its hype is proof that having a mastery of the
Queen's language is no guarantee that you will make
sense with it. That some 'public commentators' continue
to preach the gospel of 'we must endure before we
enjoy' and 'I didn't vote a magician' only shows that
having a browsing device, internet connection and
knowing how to attract Facebook 'likes' and Twitter
'retweets' are not the same things as having common
sense.
.
No nation is met perfect. No leader is without
challenges. No leader agrees with all the policies of his
predecessor. How the leader acts is what stands him
out. You cannot turn a nation upside down and expect
praises. Praise and respect are not given; they are
earned. Those who continue to dole out cheap praises
and 'stand with' an unperforming government only tell
us how cheap they are and how low their expectations
are.
.
The Buhari administration is an incompetent one. Until it
proves otherwise, we continue to see it as that. And you
suffering mortal that joins them to chant 'Sai Buhari'
amidst economic hardship and national confusion, may
you not die foolish.

Bros, may you live long to enjoy the fruits of your labor. You are on point....

The criminals are not too far from you. Watch well, you would notice them...

Where are they? They no fit shout again....

olafum1:
Nope. Worst is that we have already contributed money, and a company bought another transformer for us, but the Govt alongside electricity company still want us to contribute more money for the fixing of the transformer. Afterwards, they will now come with bills for us to be paying them....

I doubt if we have government in this country.... Tufiakwa, Aru!
