FreeStuffsNG: It is actually brilliant and it's effect is positive on the environment and their livelihoods. Single Use Plastics are more expensive and the social cost is becoming unbearable to the rest of us not in the sectors profiting from the use of SUPs. The sachet water has since outlived its usefulness and has turned to complete nuisance apart from making water more expensive. These old archaic environmental practices need to give way and I am profoundly proud that my Lagos State is taking the lead.
The waste has started reducing since the ban on Styrofoam and once we sort out the SUP of bottled water and waste sachet from pure water, we would have solved a huge environmental and economic problem.
The bottled water can come in cheap reusable plastics while sachet water will suddenly become more expensive so the stakeholders now earn more margins as more people move to reusable bottled water and later biodegradable containers.
Jan 2025 is long enough advance notice and I urge the stakeholders to cooperate with the Lagos State Government.
This is the best time to invest in Lagos. Invest in Lagos for great returns on your investment and best investor-friendly experience in Nigeria and Africa.

It is those who are alive that can enjoy the "environment" you so much want to protect.
This is a wish that will not come true. Mark my words
bepositive11: Go through history and see where it started.
Israel and Palestine need to negotiate. Retaliating won't solve anything for either side. More lives would be lost. It would never end if it continues like this.
As I pointed out in my previous comment, Israel may think they're winning now, but they're breeding future Hamas terrorists in droves.
I asked a simple question sir/ma
How do you negotiate with someone whose life goal is to kill you?
Prettychild: Lol! See the way you have turned it around. If someone wants to pray for you (even though I don’t know what they are praying about), will you stand or kneel so that the person can touch you while praying? It’s with humility that brings about exaltation. If a man can humble himself to kneel for his wife to pray for him, God will still exalt him to continue to be the head of the house, not in words but also in actions. You people should keep your red pill behavior one side abeg
Kneeling for your wife is sign of weakness both culturally and spiritually. Kneeling before someone is symbol of accepting their lordship and authority. I don't know where Christians are getting all these wrong practices. A disregard from the natural order is the reason for so many divorce
k4kenny: You bloodthirsty people were to busy celebrating a massacre and destruction like the offsprings of the devil that you are that you didnt notice your slavemasters couldn't win physical combats in Gaza. To the extent to withdrawing the elite unit, Golani brigade from ground. The only thing they can do is push a button from a distance to kill, steal and destroy like your godfather, Satan.
the hostage situation is the only reason why Israel did not go all out for Hamas. Hezbola has no hostage to bargain with so Israel hand is not tied in any way for now. That's my reading of the situation
MadPolitician: I'm also in support of the right of the Isrealis to live in their homeland and have a country of their own. And i am against the Arabs insistence that the Isrealis must leave. But lets be frank to ourselves;there is nothing really "satanic" about how these Lebanese defend themselves. That is if you juxtapose their actions with the Isreali approach. Isreal has never respected any of their boundaries since the wars of the 60s,the 70s and the 80s.
The Beirut invasion of the 80s was actually led by a Commando attack commanded by one Benjamin Netanyahu! Does that name ring a bell? It is the same Bibi, who is now the Prime Minister of Isreal.
His elder bother Jonathan Netanyahu, commandeered the Isreali commando group that captured the Entebbe airport in Uganda and rescued most Isreali hostages, captured in a hyjacked plane by some German terrorists, working for some Arabs. Uganda was under Idi Amin Dada at this time. Col Jonathan died in that raid.
So you can see how wars, killings, invasions, assassinations, bombings and spectacular violent displays, have come to charactrise relations in these areas. Essentially, in most cases, it is a question of "if you don't kill me when you have the chance, i will kill you anytime i have the chance ".
No one is really innocent here. That's if we look at it objectively. The more reason for a comprehensive peace treaty.
Any peace treaty short of Hamas releasing those they kidnapped and a committment never to attack isreal again will not solve the problem. Egypt made a peace deal with Israel and has not attached Israel since after the 6 day war. Hezbola and Hamas should do that same
Israel seem very determined to prevent another Oct 7 style attack on its citizen again.
bepositive11: First of all, stop generalizing. Some Muslims are terrorists, not all.
Why should they stop firing rockets when Israel won't stop firing rockets? Why won't Israel work with them to reach a ceasefire?
My points still hold true. I bet you. Yes, Israel has killed Hezbollah's leader today, but at the same time, they have created a new generation of people who will want to retaliate in the future. All those people who love Hezbollah's leader will become the terrorists targeting Israel tomorrow. The same can be said for the children of those Palestinians killed by Israel.
So when does it end? Israel should get off its high horse and sit down at the negotiation table. Killing their enemies would create generational hate and breed even more terrorists. It won't solve anything.
How do you negotiate with someone whose stated life mission is to kill you and wipe out your country?
stagger: When they start getting struck with incurable illnesses for their blasphemy against God, they will start crying for help.
That was how Mr Ibu went on that tirade against pastors as follows:
STUPIDITY is when you don’t have a bicycle and you give your last penny to your pastor to buy a jet. MUMU is when you can’t pay your children’s school fees and yet have money to contribute to your church to build expensive schools which your children will never attend.. IDIOCY is when you refuse to take your very sick child to the hospital because your pastor said you should not do so, yet that same pastor secretly runs to USA for medical attention any time he has a headache. KOLO is when you see a poor beggar on the road and you refuse to give him 50 naira out of the 5000 naira in your pocket because it is your tithe money.... YOU are a zombie when you trek,dance and gallivant for 30 kilometers under the hot sunsweating and smelling like poo during your revival program, while your pastor is inside a full option, factory fitted air-conditioned state of the art SUV with his delectable wife slow driving along the road. IGNORANCE is when you believe it when your pastor tells you not to live a worldly life, yet he enjoys all the best things in the world;the fine houses, cars, jets, babes etc, while you are waiting till you get to heaven to enjoy your own....
When he came down with illness, he started running from church to church, looking for the same pastors he was lambasting to pray for healing. To which God was he praying, after saying tithe money should be given to beggars?
God can NEVER be mocked. What you sow is what you reap.
So you mean he fell sick because he ask you to use your common sense?
I'm not sure that Nigeria can ever be free with people who think like you
Ojuntana: What do you want him to do This reforms are necessary We can't continue to spend on subsidy while feeding our neighbours Nigerians should stop complaining and go into productivity massively
Every government in the world subsidizes essential commodities/services for their citizens- In UK its healthcare and education, in US its fuel and food, Europeans subsidize gas heavily for their citizens especially during winter.
Who brainwashed you people that subsidy is a bad thing? So what is the benefit of the government to the common man when every subsidy is removed?
FAAC to states have increased since subsidy was removed meaning there is more money in the hand of government. Pray tell how has more revenue to your system improved your standard of living? Is it not better to subsidize fuel than to share to excess money to irresponsible governors who will squander it as usual?
I'm not sure you people know what you are defending. By the time fuel gets to 5k per litre and you can no longer buy food or pay transport that is when you will realise the truth.
NOETHNICITY: This is the Islamic position of marital contract
Even if the woman is a trillionaire she is not under any obligation to give financial support, unless she voluntarily decides to provide. No obligation whatsoever
You know nothing about the Quran. She is not compelled to work and that is why there is no FINANCIAL obligations.
These girls are stuck in 1960/1970 mentality when the man worked and the woman was a full housewife...of course the man had to bear the entire financial burden while the woman took care 100% house chores... cleaning, cooking laundry for husband and children, raising kids etc.
In present day every woman wants to work and earn income which is fantastic...so they want to keep their money and pretend they are full-time housewives. It's laughable sha
nairalanda1: Yes, we should have voted out APC. But Peter Obi won't have brought about the eldorado you guys want.
Peter Obi, when the victory dust settles, would have faced an economy where 90% of our revenue was going for debt servicing. The only way out would have been to remove fuel subsidy totally, remove electricity subsidy totally, reform taxation, so that at least 70% of the population is taxed..and actively fight corruption.
It would have been nice, but he won't have done that, because Nigerians would have labelled him a wicked person.
There is a reason why tinubu is doing partial reform, and not fighting corruption....it is because if he did the above, he would lose power. That is also why Obi walked back his comment and said he would remove 50% of the subsidy, something that has been done for decades, and has contributed to the issue we are facing now....
Until you, and the obideints and the tinubu, and the atiku and every Nigerian accepts that we are a poor country, we got to jail the corrupt, and we got to actually tax more of our gdp, and spend more on public transport infraxtrtucture....and not throw tantrums over the subsidy being unsustaibnable....we are going to face the same problem for years to come...and you all will be playing musical chairs.
And yes, tinubu is not doing well. We are going to have issues from the subsidy he is still keeping for years.
You lost me when you say we are a poor country
We are not poor. We have never been poor. Do you know how much foreign oil companies owe Nigeria in royalties today? Do you know that 90% of our crude oil was stolen for the last 10 years without any accountability?
Thanos5555: . Oil is an international commodity, averagely in all countries, oil sells at >1.2$ for 1 litre
What does this means ?
With exchange rate of 1600# to dollar, it means the government is still heavily subsidizing oil more than before. And they can't hold it again
If it is subsidized , the real price of oil should be around #1500 for 1 litre, but if the subsidy is removed, the price should be around #2300 for a litre.
Withing the few weeks or months, prices will correct itself to 1500#, at best
Why should country that has crude oils and refineries buy at the same exorbitant rate as countries who don't have crude oil? So what is the benefit of our crude oil to the local market?

olatade: No Landing Cost, No VAT Charges, No Port Duty, No Forex Impediments and yet NNPCL Increase Fuel Price! The More We Try To Understand the Indices Of Nigerian Economy, the more confused we become.
Don't jubilate yet until they tell you how much dangote will sell his own fuel.
And don't raise your hopes too high... normally it should be like 500-600 per litre but your guess is good as mine. It will be around same 900 if not more
Biodun556: Whether it is 1000 or 857 naira per liter, it calls for celebration. At least subsidy or landing cost matter has come to an end. And government should not have excuses again for poor performance, pilling up of debts.
Who told you that landing cost matter has come to an end. Is dangote refinery able to meet the need of the entire nation? There is no justification for Nigerians to buy fuel at 900/litre while government is still paying subsidy.
There is nothing to celebrate here until dangote tells us the price of his fuel
EreluRoz: It's the wife. I dislike men who drag properties with their wife.
No sensible woman will contribute to her husband's building, the wisest thing to do is to relieve him off some budden so that he can be financially ok to buy a land and build himself. She should have simply sell the land to him and get another land in her name.
A man can come tomorrow with kids from other women who will start dragging space with your children and insist they also have right to their father's property but what is yours as a woman solely belong to your children, nobody can drag it with them.
My deal breaker in marriage is having kids outside our union, no apologies on earth will ever make me stay and I'll never speak a word with you again till we go back to our creator, this is one thing I'll warn my future husband about. As tolerant and forgiving as I can be but don't ever dare that with me.
haybhi1: Ipso facto. Unserious leaders and unserious citizens/followers.
The moment you accept Tinubu has been bad, then when you look at Obi's profile, you have to be even sadder, or even Atiku's. You must shake your head is misery for the type of leaders on line and in charge. The followers are damned poor in decision making too. What a country.
You can't rationalize your bad choice by pointing to Obi. I thought you people said Tinubu will turn Nigeria to Dubai. This is just year one , by the time he is through with all of you, you people will be singing a different tune
lailo: Kudos to Igbo's inspired nation wide hunger protest. That's the result when u ignorantly criple ur own economy in the name of politics. All of us go chop this watery beans tire. You are happy now shey?
spiceadole: I don't like sex. Never been a "sex person" from beginning. When I became a teenager,my mum wasn't even advising me about sex cos she noticed the interest wasn't there. It was alcohol that seemed to interest me. I grew up with some form of alcohol addiction but thanks to rigors of medical school and determination,I was able to overcome it. Now,I just go to work,return and take care of my family.
Sex irritates me..I just manage to do it as an obligation. If my husband doesn't make any move,it doesn't happen. I don't know what people see in sex.
Hanty Dr. Sexual attraction is important o. and it shouldn't be one sided else the other party will get tired one day and stop. Don't let any man decieve you unless if he's getting it from somewhere else.
Hemanwel: It's a good thing that this kind of threads are created for the married to refresh their marital responsibilities, so as to keep the fire burning in their love lives.
However, as a man, father, and a husband, these are my personal experiences in marriage:
- We need to regularly appreciate our wives. - Your wife should be your best friend. - Do the house chores together. - Understand your wife's weakness and make her see it rather as strength. - Be in constant communication with your wife, even while at work. - Be romantic. Initiate seductive conversations. Be playful with her. - In times of argument, do it with love. If you notice she's still angry, cuddle her and laugh it off. - Always make your wife feel special. Buy her gifts. Take her out, even after birthing 5 children. - For your marriage to work, the onus lies on the man/husband. What you put in is what you get.
Good advice except for the last one. This is what society has conditioned men to believe and that is why most women think they are not accountable for their actions.
TemplarLandry: Some Nigerians and mediocre comparisons...
Why would you compare American standard with Nigerian standard?
Shallow-minded Hoebeediients.
Dear Daily Trust,
Please fact-check me: You deliberately omitted to tell your readers that the U.S. has ordered a new Air Force One from Boeing, at the cost of $3.9 billion, which is over 300 times the cost of Nigeria's new Presidential Jet.
You also failed to inform your readers that it costs $177,843 an hour and $2,964 every minute for the US Air Force to maintain the current Air Force one that President Biden uses, which, when you calculate the yearly cost is more than the $100 million Nigeria spent on the new Presidential Jet.
Finally, you additionally failed to tell your readers that the Presidential Aircraft that crashed and killed President Ebrahim Raisi of Iran was an old one, and that it was better serviced than Nigeria's old Presidential Jets.
Daily Trust, what do you want to achieve by this mischievous reportage filled with half-truths? You have a nasty habit of attacking every Southern President. You did the same things to Presidents Obasanjo and Jonathan, deliberately suppressing information and projecting only propaganda that would undermine their administrations.
Yet, you spent eight years being General Buhari's apologists.
What is your agenda? Do you want President Tinubu to die like President Ebrahim Raisi of Iran? God forbid!

Lol it's really hard to defend incompetence and waste of resources. See how you are comparing to Nigeria when it come to presidential jet.
How old are the airline commercial planes that you board on local flights?
Shall we compare road network since we want to start comparison
emkz: 11. After certain person's messiah lost elections and could not prove their case, they accused her and her children of bias and threatened the woman and her family. The intention was to force her to twist the arm of justice to favour their scam if she sat on their appeal. They did all of these before the Supreme Court panel was constituted. She was not part of the panel. When the panel was set up and headed by Justice Inyang Okoro JSC, we saw a thorough adjudication. One of the judges even decided to look into the case of someone who brought Chicago deposition to use to defraud his way into the presidency after he lost the elections. They asked the man why he didn't authenticate the deposition with the District Court of Illinois, or legalized with the US Embassy.
We thank Justice Kekere-Ekun's colleagues who stood firm and prevented a constitutional crisis when those who lost elections resolved to issuing threats to force their scam on the rest of us.
You can’t compare the two at all, as one is prone to have materialistic entitlement while the other is prone to have emotional entitlement.
One will manage your assets (no jokes, they tend to apply family management orientation in relationships).
The other will leech you dry if opportunity presents it.
I am not saying there are no Filipinas with a primitive Nigerian girl kind of trait oh!, they may be 20% of the type over there while here in Nigeria we have 98.762% of them exhibiting and glorifying leeching combined with hoeism.
Guy how you take calculate this accurate percentage?😜😜
