The headline is a sensational one . I read through the post and all the house did was to put on hold the proposed adoption of concrete roads.

They did that because there’s need to assess the and compare the costs with those of asphalt . Also they need to know if there won’t be liability as a result of breaching existing contract terms with contractors .

I don’t think the house has taken a wrong step here
Yorubas say Aje ke lana, omo ku leni, tani ko mo pe aje to ke lana lo pa omo. .

If you've been following recent development, Umuahi has been saying that there is a gang up against him to sabotage the use of cement for road manufacturing by those who want to maintain status quo.

He said they've been holding countless meetings and even tried to submit outrageous quotation to discourage him but he caught them.

All of a sudden, the same members of the parliament who have no problem sharing 2023 vehicles now want to consider the demerits and merits of using concrete cement.

Brilliant coincidence if you ask me.

Weve been complaining about the economy and this is one way to grow the economy.

Concrete is cheaper, it has durability of 50 years, will provide employment, more people will go into cement manufacturing and possibly drive down the price. There will also be less demand on the dollar because bitumen is imported.

Prices in seeing on google ranges from 65m to 85m. Doesn't change anything anyways.

It's still reckless spending anyways. It means the NASS has more than enough money. Who will cut their budget like this.
Those are non-bullet proof but that's even beside the point as you said. 85 or 130 is wasteful spending. If they had even patronised our local manufacturers, the optics would have been less damaging.

Its a good policy that will take time to fully show impact. The implementation has been solid so far.

There's no item on CBN list anymore, CBN are also actively clearing all the backlogs.

It will take time for the rate to stabilize but it will.

Yes, intra-day high was 981.
Opened at 758. High of 981. Closed at 848.

There's no credible reason to devalue atm.
Buhari held it at 360 for years.
After he devalued to 460, he maintained that until he returned to Daura.

And we're talking about Buhari that grappled with two recessions.

Tinubu has devalued from 460 to 750 to 850 in less than six months.

As regards gasoline price; he's unlikely to greenlight another hike, so more subsidy it is.
But the likes of Customs and International Airlines may adjust their rates accordingly.


-Lord
It actually makes sense to devalue IMO. You need more dollar to keep it at 750 than you need at 850. The reason Buhari was able to keep it at 460 is the same reason our foreign reserve is more or less empty. Even if Buhari had stayed, it was only a matter of time before he devalues again. Remember that we don't even know the true state of our foreign reserve. You and I don't know what the CBN is seeing.

As for the bolded, better for everyone. We can't afford another fuel hike.

Larrides believes 'dollar unification" is actually one of his best policies
On paper, it was a good idea.

Look at it this way, no one will obtain dollar at 700 on the official window and use it to import raw materials for production when he can flip it in the parallel market and make more money .

The disparity was just creating money for people without doing anything.

Problem as is always the case is in the implementation of policies. The CBN does not have the FX for any realistic unification.

Closed at 848 today.
They've quietly devalued the official rate again.
From 750 to 850.

Another round of hikes incoming.

-Lord
Reuters said it went as low as 980. Maybe it rebounded to 848.

I suspected they were going to devalue when they lifted the ban on those 43 items.

I just wonder what effect this will now have on the price of fuel. More of subsidy or unbearable hardship. Time will tell

So i asked My Rewire to help me check why my car was draining the battery, and he said that he would install one device like that that would shut down the system when I parked the car.
The issue now is the car is not starting again, I asked him to return the car to the previous state but still not cranking.
I noticed that the red security light still blinks even when the keyfob is in the ignition.
When I start the car I see REDUCED BREAKING POWER START THE ENGINE showing on the dashboard but the engine won't start.
Someone said that it could be that the secondary battery of the car is low and that we should charge it, that that could cause the problem.
Right now I am so perplexed, don't know how just a simple fix can affect the car not starting.

The Car is Benz E320 2003

Car Talk › Re: 2011 Toyota Camry XLE 4cylinder Or V6? by Itsrm(m):
Born2conquer:
Just saying that a V4 is also as "powerful". People tends to talk down on V4 like the power is like that of kekenapep or a motorcycle.

Unless you are a heavy driver who carries loads and the rest, you won't really feel the difference between a V4 and a V6.

A Good V4 or I4 car will equally maintain the same speed as a V6 just that a V6 might pick up speeds some seconds faster. And yes, it's just some seconds.

And in response to your question, I know what I am saying. Na me drive
I have driven 4cyl cars and they can give you the illusion that they are fast till you actually need them to be fast.

This thing you call "just that" is what makes all the difference in the world between a V6 and a 4cyl. When you need that power for brisk and fast acceleration, V6 will never fail you.

And it's not true that you won't really feel the difference. The difference is night and day.

Drive a V6 sedan with at least 300hp and you'll want to burn your car

If you want to know how bleeped up Nigeria truly is try visiting any government institution. I've never believed our policemen are demons despite complaints from people over the years until I experienced it myself. Folks can you believe policemen saw LinkedIn on my phone and said that is a sign that I'm into CyberCrime? I tried to explain what I do on LinkedIn but everything I said fell on deaf ears. These guys kept me there asking me questions for hours, when I noticed the whole thing was going to another direction I simply bribed them. I knew that was they wanted all the while but I didn't want them to give them a penny, but I realized if I keep arguing with them they might do something dangerous.

They even started asking me which church I attend, when I told them I'm an irreligious person that is neither a Christian or Muslim, you guys need to see the anger on their faces. It was as if not being Christian or Muslim is a crime itself, I spent about an hour listening to sermons on why I should choose Islam or Christianity. This is not the first time I'm experiencing this religious intolerance in a government institution. When I went to collect my passport at the immigration office some years back a huge scene was created because I said I don't belong to any religion. I'm just curious, are government institutions supposed to be places where such fvckery take place?

One of my lecturers back then in Uni said Nigeria is a perfect example of how a country shouldn't be and I can't help but agree with him now.
Next time just identify as a Christian or Muslim to avoid stories. It's just a label on paper. Doesn't define who you are.

Baba things dey happen from time but because we small we no go code and also social media no dey. Na recently I dey hear from some elderly people say my secondary school principal dey lash some of the teachers back thn but my own memory of him was a very strict man who drives into school gate and we all flee

Social media has made it easier too, With whatsapp means you can connect with former flames and school friends, most of these women due to economy are not really happy in their marriages,(One guy told me that half his secondary school female mates were either divorcees, single mothers of never married and all i their 40s. Those wey dey husband house sef, most are quite unhappy and on the lookout for when opportunity arise outside) so when they connect with former classmates who spin dem small dem go comply

Also with SM means you are able to reach people beyond your locality. E.g in 1992 if woman wan cheat its either people who she works with or people around her. Now she can open IG facebook and connect with someone who lives in the other side of town or another state, communicate wella, send nudes, have dirty talks and prep themselves for the do

Back in 1992, you cannot just run into an old schoolmate in Abeokuta and within few hours start nacking, These days Whatsapp and facebook gives enough time and avenue to prep both parties

When I was growing up there was no DM to slide into. Now a married woman can be jejely minding her business posting innocent bum short pics on Instagram from her house in Lokoja and a guy in Houston who is planning to come to Abuja or Lagos for Xmas will slide into her DMs and organise the do.

I'm not surprised.

Recently I've been questioning whether growing up I was either uninitiated, not financially buoyant, lacking game....or whether Nigerian women have changed significantly, transforming into irredeemable höes

Because I've seen things mehn.

I've seen niggas who weren't popping in secondary school/University circle back to fück the popping girls from that era as a matter of principle. Whether the women are married now, mothers now, 20kg heavier now is irrelevant- if they were on the hit list back then, they were chopped.

I've seen niggas fly back to Nigeria and lodge another man's wife for a weekend. I've seen a wives and mother's live their piking with the husband for the weekend and actually book the internal flight from Lagos to Abj for tjem and their abroadian guy months in advance.

I've seen niggas carrying 2 other niggas wives for treyway and sending them home with nothing more than cumbreath and some perfume. I've seen niggas wives complaining that after due to side dude imposing stature and weight during nacks, the only way they can enjoy their husband is if they ride him, cos oboy is too skinny.

I've seen niggas pïss on niggas wives. I've seen niggas hide in the corner when the wife is on the phone to her husband and kids showing him the hotel room she's staying in.

I've seen niggas bank account being unwittingly used to receive the funds a nigga threw ar his wife for hookup. Brah, I seen a nigga pipe down a newly wee that was 3 months pregnant for the love of her life.

All these things I either witnessed first hand or discussed directly with the other nigga. If I was a married man in (especially) Lagos knowing what I know, I would be living in absolute terror.
I raised this issue with a childhood friend who lives in Ib. I was telling him how easy it is sleeping with married women in PH and how women in the South West are better because I can't remember it happening when we were growing up.

Only for my guy to tell me to forget that thing. That even though he avoids them as much as he can, he has his own fair share of married women he has slept with.

Said those things were always happening even while we were growing up. We were just too young to notice and didn't have the financial muscle to pull things we can easily do now.

I don’t understand, I bought 17litres of fuel at NW in Maryland last week and went to abeokuta and came back, i still have enough fuel inside my car, the car was doing 22.5MPG but when I drive within Lagos doing trips, the fuel will just be dropping anyhow



In fact, I hardly see 26k with 10k fuel doing bolt alone but I’m pretty sure my car isn’t consuming fuel…

In city, I do 20.0MPG
Lagos to Abeokuta to and fro is less than 200kms.

The average bolt driver covers more in a day within Lagos.

That's ignoring the fact highway driving gives better gas mileage.
