With another 80 million for Scamcho. And I will be dragging our scouts here not knowing dead fans even have more useless ones. How they somehow managed to sign casemiro is surprising.

If anybody go even troll us no be scummies

raumdeuter:
This is majorly true and why OBJ Jonathan Buhari all avoided debates at some points

It's a candidate that challenging that needs every exposure and hopes to land punches or hope the favorite slips

If Man Utd is leading West Ham by 3-0, then they don't have any incentive to attack or get into contest. Man utd is content to sit back and watch the game play out

If I was Sanwo Olu and my strongest opponent is Jandor, I won't waste my time with any debate.

Imagine a Wike on the governorship ballot and you're asking him to come and debate. Why will he bother

WhoDeyHause:
At least we know we're not paying heavily for Maguire.

And 100m for poco lee

Theflint1:
He is actually, whether he's refusing to attend one because it'd give publicity to his contestants or because he believes the LP and PDP guys might floor him in a debate. I think it's more the former than the latter though.

Politicians who are certain of victory hardly attend debates. It's just a waste of time as far as they are concerned.

Tonye Cole and some other aspirants have been challenging Fubara to a debate. They have all been ignored.

[color=royalblue]You could be right, my brother

But with the way these stuffs are springing here and there, i doubt the magnanimity of its profits

It is just like shopping malls...Many are just to hide shady deals, but people see them and say it is very profitable[/color]

If I get money self I go build one. From gbolas explanation, apparently, if you know your way, there can be cool money to be made.

The biggest running cost seem to be diesel but then, kpofire will come to the rescue.

BlueRayDick:
Baba they didn’t redesign 100 naira , 50 naira , 20 naira and 10 naira . A petty trader that sells a commodity lesser than 200 naira shouldn’t be bothered about this redesign thingy .

Personally I believe people are over-amplifying the whole issue sef . I bought something worth 600 this evening with a new 1000 naira notes and the seller gave me 4 100 naira notes as change. She didn’t have problem with me since I paid with new notes and I didn’t have problem with her since she gave me change in 100 naira denomination which is not affected by the redesign .

Exactly. Nothing concern groundnut seller with POS

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I needed to ask this

I have heard from persons that the profit margin for every litre of diesel hovers around 20 naira

So person go use about 28 million buy one truck (33,000 litres), then gain 660,000?

Hmmmmm[/color]

They may be lying. Most of them buy bunkered Diesel at a cheaper rate and mix with the original to make more profit

GloriousGbola:
Diesel, gas and kerosene are fully deregulated. So anyone can bring them in. Petrol is subsidized so nnpc is bringing it in. And it is being diverted to neighbouring countries which is why we have scarcity.

This is how it used to work. You have a station in lagos. You pay the depot for your allocation, say 3m. The truck is dispatched. You get a call. We are sending the truck elsewhere. Your money after sales should be 4m.take 5m. The truck is now moved somewhere where the fuel will sell for 6 or 7m. You make your money, but the supply chain is fked up. That is the root of the pms scarcity. All this nonsense raiding stations for selling in Jerry cans is aboki eye service. They know the deal.

Or they pay the 6m and sell to us at 350/l

Interesting

I know some of us will remember the wole woles of the 90s. They still exist in the ministry of health and environment. Just that what they do now is go to companies, collect envelops and move on

As far as corruption goes, safe to say that this country is irredeemable.

GloriousGbola:
It is everywhere. Also in lagos. Poor regulation by dpr means you can quickly hammer, especially if you are an independent. Build a station at a fraction of the cost of the majors (by ignoring all safety standards) rig your pumps to 1 litre and you are good to go.

I was once at a gas station a friend was building. He invited government officials (not sure if it was DPR) for inspection and I saw him giving them fat envelops when the "inspection" was over.

Of course the "inspection" was a success. That I believe is the same thing that happens with filling stations.

It does seem to me that the best government agencies to work are those in charge of regulation. NERC, CBN, DPR and several others.

New filling stations are springing up on a daily basis in PH.

Election money or just rich people trying to taking advantage of the scarcity and fuel hike?

seankafor:
on pos the 50 naira is on the recipient

Thats why some shops adds the 50 naira to the price you re paying if you re using their pos option..

Only if the cost is above 1000. Below 1000 is on the seller

OasisX:
Wayforward......................................

And be paying charges abi? Most of her customers will buy below 1000 naira. How much is she earning from the groundnut

Maybe she will add the charges to the cost of the groundnut which will beg another question. Why will people buy from her and not others who sell cheaper?

I also once tried getting a POS machine for a personal business and there was a challenge I couldn't overcome. Unfortunately I can't remember what the challenge was.

Goal stands after VAR check

What a goal

Fabinho always seems to get away with reckless tackles

Segedinho:
Baba....me
Baba...me just dey house like this.....no going out o...

Dem plan block every road tomorrow Sha..

A litre for filling station goes from 5h to 750.except NNPC n total n Mobil but ready sleep queue n might not even get it

You guys need that protest. Make una block everywhere, cook, eat, sleep and remain there till the price goes down.

That was what people did sometime ago in PH but politicians came to deceive them and they eventually left.

We are buying 290 here, no justification for you guys paying that much.

If fuel gets to 1k per litre, I will change my childrens school, put them in the closest school to the house which will be a walking distance, park my car at home and use public transport to work.

Segedinho:
Here for Benin

10ltrs goes for 10k

What!!!!

Una dey buy am?

arantess:
Gbam

the painful part is seeing people queue to buy at 320 when you can drive 5-10mins along and get it cheaper

Some times I feel like entering the filling station and wiping those people queuing koboko.

alizma:
Correct, I bought 320 yesterday

Stop encouraging those selling at 320 by buying from them.

Sobaz Obi Wali Road sells 290
A new filling station before Sobaz at Obi Wali Road sells 280
All the ones on East West Road from Rumuokoro down to Choba sell below 300
FO at Sasun roundabout sells at 285
Eterna filling stations sells at 290

I understand that all these may not be close to you but just look around you, some filling stations definitely sell cheaper.

The ones putting 320 should drink their fuel

Where are you buying your own fuel

BlueRayDick:
This has always been my position on the issue . Allow people deposit their old notes , give them a certain percentage of it as cash withdrawal over the counter and deposit the rest in their account .

If almost everybody is going cashless , there won’t be need for excess cash in the system . It’s that excess cash people use to pay ransom, terrorist buy more arms and the country keeps getting more and more harder security wise.

I agree with you but this may make an already bad situation worse in the short term. It won't make kidnappers stop demanding for ransom.

Only this time, people won't have money to pay them which will make them go on a killing spree. By the time they kill a hundred people because they couldn't get ransom, kidnapping should start reducing.

This ongoing discussion reminds me of customs when they came with their evaluation rubbish.

They said all vehicles coming into the country will be cleared electronically with very little physical work thereby eliminating the need to bribe custom officials to get reduced valuation. Good initiative abi? So we thought.

In reality, what this useless people did was to publish a list of a few cars you can only clear electronically and left out a lot of other cars.

If you bring in any of the other cars not on their list, you have to still bribe customs officials for reduced valuation. The official valuation you'll be given will be so ridiculous that no one will tell you before you go and pay 50-100k bribe.

These guys have been clearing vehicles for ages. They have a database of all vehicles you can possibly import. Even websites that sell car parts have a comprehensive database of almost any car you want but a whole Nigeria customs does not have.

BlueRayDick:
I'm not surprised about Buhari's hard stand on this currency issue ; Buhari has been known not to listen to anybody. I'm thinking just maybe if the late Abba Kyari was still around , just maybe Buhari would’ve taken wiser decisions and posture in public issues post COVID-19. It appears the man was the glue holding his government together , preventing DSS from going after CBN governor , making sure different government agencies at each other’s throat while the president sits arm akimbo.

Most of us had seen Buhari’s incompetence since his first term . When they say Buhari has taken us 50 years backwards some people think showing us new train coaches , second Niger bridge , rice pyramid etc can disprove his incompetence. Now it’s staring us in the face.

Personally I support the CBN policy , but I will be selfish if I say CBN has been up and doing to ensure people get their old notes exchanged for new ones . Perhaps there’s a friction between CBN and commercial banks hence why people couldn’t get their old notes exchanged for new ones for 3 whole months . Whatever happens , I know for sure Nigerians will adjust .

CBN is now saying you are not meant to exchange your old notes for new notes. You are meant to deposit your old notes and go cashless

That is why they are deliberately restricting the money in circulation.

If this statement is what makes you sleep well at night I fully support it.

You should bookmark it. I have never been more confident of anything

andrewbaba44:
Man U regressing? Naaa

They have struggled in their last three premier league matches. They were very fortunate to have won the one against City.

andrewbaba44:
That one go hard sha

But to be sincere too 4 looks very possible

Nothing hard there. Only 10 points separates us. We are showing signs of improvement, they are regressing.

andrewbaba44:
Banter aside ,Chelsea can still make top 4 if they start winning from their next epl games

The signings you made are capable

We will finish the season in third place above Manutd.

BlueRayDick:
You mean an app that will be capable of transferring cash to different recepients all at once? If that's what u mean, it just takes one politician to start it by contracting a young developer to design something like that and more politicians will key into it. I will actually advise such developers to charge one lump sum for the developing and then hand it over to them ( Instant gratification over delayed gratification). This is because the politicians might abandon the app midway if dynamics change and they developer won't be able to get his 50 naira per transaction if nobody uses the app. However with the lump sum already collected as contract fee, he's unconcerned whether they use or abandon the app.

As regards the cash redesign, it's obvious more and more people will have no choice but embrace the whole cashless policy Las Las

Banks already have an application like this. It's what small firms use to pay salaries. They don't have to take their salary schedule to the bank and don't have to do it one by one from the normal mobile app.

GloriousGbola:
it reminds me of when some of guys in my set ran a scam. a scam that somehow involved me

so i had this eraser that could erase biro ink very very finely. one of those things my dad was always buying back then. so someone borrowed it from me. i did not know at the time, but they had gotten the key to the course advisers office and were adjusting peoples GP in the master schedule

but the problem as is usual with these things is that rather than

1) limit it to a small subset of people
2) engage in careful score manipulation

they went all out. People with pass were elevated to 2.1. Obvious people. People who stood out in the lecturers gaze. of course the whole scheme fell apart. and the course advisers responded with a vengeance. that year everyone caught cheating in exams was expelled - after we had graduated.

the no 1 rule of real hacking is not to leave a trail so no one knows you've been in. just do small, minuscule manipulations here and there. things that if discovered will be waved aside as bugs or errors.

but las las adeleke in his old age is still as mentally lazy as those guys were.

With all of that, Adeleke only won with 28k votes. Imagine he had done it the way you're suggesting, he would have lost.

He probably knew what he was up against and went all out
