[color=royalblue]If this thing would have been cheaper, i trust the government to have started singing it even before this month.

They know what they are doing.[/color]

Just seeing that NNPC has now responded. Dem say make Dangote give them discount if the price here is different from what he sold to them

I'm also looking at this their estimated prices across various regions. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Dangote has already made it clear that the crude used for this PMS was purchased in dollars.

That's a clear way to tell Nigerians that it cannot be cheaper.

Reason why they spent 3 days snapping and making videos of dirty, dilapidated tankers, instead of just releasing a press statement on what the price will be.[/color]

Even in that press release, baba just dey talk of energy security and availability and how fuel will get to every local government. Plenty of word salad when one paragraph with the price would have achieved better result.

Hmm, that local pap is not as good as the manufactured cereals and it'll definitely tell on a baby in terms of growth and freshness.

I had my 3rd and last child in January this year and he was born at 3.8kg. He started eating at 3 & half months when wifey was preparing to resume back to work from maternity leave.

Due to the exorbitant cost of baby cereals, we opted for home made pap and the made-in-Nigeria cerelac to feed him.

Wifey buys the ingredients (yellow corn, guinea corn, millet, date, coconut, ginger, cloves and unripe plantain) and makes the pap herself, which turns out to be a dark brown colour. NAN milk is added to the baby's pap when it's prepared to feed him.

Now, it's established that with good nutrition, babies should ordinary double their birth weights at 6 months but when baby went for his 6 months immunization, he weighed 7.4kg.

In contrast, his older siblings who were born at lower weights of 3.5kg and 3.25kg, and fed exclusively with Frisogold, imported Cerelac & NAN milk weighed 8.3kg and 8kg respectively at 6 months.

Baby is healthy and very active, and has even hit some developmental milestones faster than his siblings but our conclusion is that his size is due to the lower nutritional input.

In conclusion, ogi no fit do the work wey imported baby cereals dey do. If you see fresh and chubby baby, check well cos no be pap dem dey chop.

Now that I think of it, you may be right. If you place children in expensive private schools side by side with their age mates in public schools, you will think the ones in private schools are older.

They are usually taller with better body frame. I think it has even been argued on this thread that height is not all genetics. Nutrition also plays a major role.

OasisX:
.....I am kinda convinced it wil be significantly reduced. I really don't care about the arrangement, rather want Nigerians to breathe again.

Na we get the crude oil, even if we dash DGL free to process and sell to Nigerians at far cheaper rate, who go hold us?! OPEC?! LOL!

Yes, OPEC. You can't just decide to sell at any price that pleases you. What we can do is use a lower exchange rate for dangote which is still subsidy on the Dollar.

Anyway, I pray you're right. This 1400/litre don nearly send person go village.

OasisX:


......DGL is simply saying we got the [old] crude oil in dollars hence you can't expect us to run at loss. Wait till October 1st before the public know agreed price between FG and the Refinery.

The Agreement they have with FG [Naira to Naira Transactions] will commence on October 1st, hence a new price should be expected, hopefully cheaper and affordable [though won't be below ₦500].

NNPCL wanted to serve DGL to Nigerians on a berbecue grill, but they quickly come out to rescue themselves from getting roasted.

The Game is the game - some big men in Oil Industry ain't happy with Dangote Refinery cos one man's food is another man's poison.

Nigeria will be great and soon by God's willing.

I doubt there will be any significant difference in price even with the Naira to naira transaction. You can't be complaining of fuel subsidy and then subsidise dollar/crude to Dangote. What they will end up doing is replacing one subsidy with another.

Fingers crossed all the same. If they find a way to sell it a little higher than 500, that will be great. I just don't see it happening.

Segedinho:
My first daughter who would be 3 years by December used both friso n "my boy"....both cost roughly 6k...but now only my boy cost dat amount....

My son is 10 months plus now sha...na small time e go take as madam don dey throw custard join d mixture small small.


Like this like this....me don hang boot.......no be me dem go kill

There are people who make pap for babies. They use various ingredients with good nutritional value. You can find one and buy or find someone to make for you. It's usually much cheaper and better than custard.

OasisX:


.....NNPCL and DGL no go kíll us last last. LOL!

Was pretty obvious NNPCL was lying as always. I even believe the actual price is higher. Na why Dangote dey talk about energy security and availability

Segedinho:
Baba....man needs find alternative o..

Na friso gold + my boy......man dey use hold body o...


Both cost 13k and e dey last 4 to 5 days

July 2022. Madam was even complaining . We didn't know we were enjoying.

Can't thank God enough I'm done with that stage

Omoapena:
Are you saying if inflation keeps going up, the apps company shouldn't increase price cox they might experience low patronage?

Seems you don't know the importance of transportation, even if this apps increases the price by 50% today, people will still patronize cox transportation is essential in the society.

I understand there will be a slight dip in patronage, but in the end, people will adjust coz they have to move. And for the fact we offer safety and not just comfort, they have no choice...

Water, food and life saving medicine are examples of products that have perfectly inelastic demand. They have no alternatives.

Transportation isn't and ehailing certainly is not. Even though transportation is essential, the number of trips people take reduces as the price increases. They also consider alternatives which includes walking.

When I renewed my license and was asked to come pick it up, I waited till I had something else to do around that area and used one stone for two birds.

Don't let anyone deceive you, pearl19 is absolutely right. Take us back to the days of 1.5m Tokunbo Corolla and see if you'll get one trip in 30 minutes at current prices.

BREAKING: We bought fuel from Dangote at N898 per litre – NNPCL


Omo

I smell lies. If this is true, why are they the only off takers?

They like us so much that they are paying less than N50 differential for us?

Why not just allow marketers buy at 898 and sell? What's the difference between 898 and the 855 they currently sell?

Barbiturate:
Dangote sells to NNPC @ 766/ltr. Fuel go enter 900/1000

766 with NNPC being the only off taker makes no sense since it's lower than current pump price. If that were the case, any marketer can buy and sell.

Vanguard is reporting 960/980 with NNPC subsidising it to current 855-870 depending on location. That looks more like it.

Looks like Sowore has my vote in 2027 if he contests. I know I'm likely throwing it away but I don't care.

He's the only one standing up right now when people like Obi are speaking English on News Central and Atiku on twitter.

seankafor:
na people wey go leave their house go vote I dey pity because they could end up used to settle scores..

Why person go bath 🛁🚿, leave him house 🏡 to go and vote when it's obvious it's going to be a riggathon ?

The election is just to fulfil all righteousness. The Judiciary has brought us to this point where all they do is ratify whatever INEC has declared.

Whatever you have to do, do and get INEC declare you as the winner. That's the motto of political parties now.

Theflint1:
It's sad our elections have not evolved past all of this, elections have gone worse since the APC took over. The only party that benefits from violence or an outright rape of the system in this Edo election is the APC. With violent election riggers like Wike and Oshiomhole on ground, I understand why Obaseki feels the need to show he can match their madness.

Wike is not on ground. This was him yesterday minding his business in Abuja

BlueRayDick:
Maybe because they know Rivers people are already used to buying expensive fuel even when things still Dey considerably lower.

From Itsrm and Elder’s testimony it appears Rivers people are so used to buying fuel higher than people in Lagos and Abuja. Cos I don’t really understand why people over there have never really made noise about the cost of fuel per liter in that area over time . Rivers normally should be amongst states that should be buying fuel cheapest sef

People keep adjusting and adjusting. Cars are parked at home, those who can afford public transport are using it and those who can't are trekking.

To give you an example, there was something we couldn't finish at work yesterday and we were meant to come today to finish up. Everyone decided to stay back because they don't have fuel to waste today. We left the office few minutes before 10pm. You may not understand the sacrifice as a lagosian since you guys literally sleep in the office to beat traffic


All I need now is to have at least one CNG station in PH. Even if the cost of conversion is 2m, I will pay without thinking twice. This fuel price is killing.

odimbannamdi:
Most banks now review the interest on existing loans to customers as CBN increases their rates.

Does not apply to loans to their staff. Still 5% PA on the staff loan portal of the bank I was talking about.

OasisX:
.....DG know what they are doing. It ain't a must NNPCL or Major Marketers buy from you. IPMAN is ready, sell to them - afterall they control 80% of filling Stations in the Country.

IPMAN fit buy 1 million litres? That's the minimum they sell.

Amigoss:
Tbf but there was no interference from him and IGP during bayelsa and kogi election,in fact they allowed bello display his madness and use the power of incumbency to his full advantage,same as diri of pdp...

Not even a fan of obaseki and pdp but what are their crimes and why can't they look away,what is their stake in this edo election and what are they trying to prove

By body language, I meant the policies he has been implementing. All politicians care about is getting re-elected when in office but this one doesn't seem to care. That tells me someone has assured him not to worry about 2027.

Remember how election results were already flying around before voting started in Kogi State. I expect more of the same in Edo.

Meanwhile, these off cycle elections have been giving us a sneak peak into 2027.

The body language of the president also tells us everything we need to know. He has likely been assured of victory by Inec, security agents and the Judiciary.

BlueRayDick:
From my interpretation of the video he doesn't really care about any rule of law. He just declared war and doesn't want anybody to tie his hands to his back while he's fighting the war.

He does not want to be bound by the provisions of any peace accord.

He's playing a media game.

Everyone knows signing the peace accord is ceremonial. Signing will not stop him or any other from unleashing their thugs.

ddippset:
Crying is allowed...

Whenever there is suspicion of rigging election, the opposing side always "cries".

That one na normal thing.

He's only "crying" for the cameras.

But on the field he has told you he's not signing peace pact,,
Am sure he is sensible enough to have begun deploying his own thugs and bribe money..

No one side has Monopoly of rigging and violence.

Exactly my point.

No one should be fooled by his tears on TV. As much as crying is allowed, we must point out the hypocrisy of those crying

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Another whataboutism. Disobeying court judgment didn't start from Obaseki, you know how many times PMB disobeyed court order, and even the present administration. But we believe immunity is covering them. Maybe when they finish their tenure you can charge them to court with your evidence

So don't come on TV and cry about rule of law and democracy.

Others have as much rights to desecrate our democracy as well as Obaseki did. They didn't start it too.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
According to HE GovernorObaseki, a local government chairman was attacked and shot, he reported to the police. Police say he should bring evidence, he went to give evidence and the police arrested him.

He has a strong argument if you ask me

He's playing the media game.

Some of those arrested by the police shot at Phillip Shaibu when he came back to Edo State after his victory in court. They even killed a policeman attached to the APC candidate.

In this Edo state politics, there are no saints.

BlueRayDick:
I just watched a video of Godwin Obaseki telling it to Abdulsalam Abubakar’s face that they are not signing any useless peace accord this coming Edo Elections.

He even called out the IGP and said they don’t have any confidence that the police will protect them.

Omo! People residing in or have relatives residing in Edo state should stay safe o.

Cc: Theflint1

I watched the video. What surprised me was seeing a lawless man like Obaseki talking about the rule of law and democracy.

This is the same man who imposed his candidate on the party and conducted a rigged primary election, refused to swear in elected HOA members, removed his deputy governor from office and is notorious for not obeying court judgments one of which returned Phillip as deputy governor.

Our politicians are a rare breed

izzou:


[color=royalblue]So you really were expecting 100k bet inside this Renewed Hope tenure?[/color]

What does he have to lose na? Since he was sure 5% interest rate PA wasn't possible, he will get the money back

This is where he chickens out. Waste of time.

Omoapena:
Lolz, you just dey shift from the initial talk, that guy that wants to request loan, did he tell you he's a staff of a bank or any financial institution?, the argument was, no bank or organization will give loan to customers on 5% PA with duration more than 24months.

But you came here to claim he can get it, I asked how and you said car loan to bank staff, is he a bank staff?

When making point, make your point on the subject matter, and don't go outside the box, in this case, the subject matter is our guy who's FG worker and not a bank staff...

I don't have time for useless argument

Omoapena:
The one that will never believe in your gibberish online,

Since you have shifted it to bank staff, I will still stand that even bank staffs don't get 5% Per annum.
My initial bet was to outside customers but you're shifting it to bank staff which I will still place the bet

And, why do you have to proof to me with an email, let's walk in to any branch of that bank and enquire about it, that's the only way you will get current info.

Omoapena:
5% Per Annum right.

Make I receive my stipend tomorrow, I'm down for the bet...


Will dm pearl and someone can stand for you since you're not in Lagos...

Let us know when the 100k has been sent. Be a man and do as you have said.

Halahhalah:
You say Pearl when the previous money sent to him has not been disbursed.

How do you know the money has been sent to him.

emadamysy:
.
Sir I dont know why you are arguing, some banks and even CBN give their staffs single digit interest on loans.
This is well known na

Don't waste your time. All he has to do is tell us when his 100k has been sent to Pearl.

The time for back and forth argument has passed.

BishopA71:
Reconfirm again.
Has to be per month. Hardly per year.
So, if you are given N1m you get to pay N1m divided by 12 which is N83,333... + N50,000 monthly.
Not N1,050,000 at the end of the year which you are implying.

What you should do is add your 100k to his own so we can all confirm together.

Omoapena:
Members of staff or customers?

Members of staff. Employees of the bank.

I believe it was you who posted this

Omoapena:
The one that will never believe in your gibberish online,

tojahh:
We are going to any of the said Bank branch to Enquire if there's a loan for 5% per annum?


Right?


Let's establish what the terms of engagement are before 3 Eke Market Days so we don't go there and start looking like Lastma officials when they seem Army uniform.

Yes, any of the banks branch is fine.

That will be a great way to put the question without making them go on the defensive. The main request is to confirm the rate at which the bank gives out loans to members of staff.
