I have always said it that the marketers are the evil cabals holding this country hostage, they enjoy how expensive the price of pms and diesel are today, they never want these prices to drop, how can people be so heartless. If dangote decides to sell pms at 400 today, those evil marketers will gang up to destroy the refinery, such satanic gang of clowns. I wish dangote can have his own filling stations across Nigeria so that Nigerians can be buying directly from dangote filling stations

Marketers don't enjoy expensive prices.
It doesn't make business sense.
In fact, they will make more money at lower buy price.

FromZeroToHero:
When Tinubu was reforming Lagos, he got so many criticisms. Just like today, they said he is making Lagos expensive bla bla. But today, it’s this same Lagos that is leading everywhere.

Lagos is no longer competing with fellow states but countries.

Today, most people dey japa come Lagos.

When Tinubu was reforming Lagos and taking the state in a reform worthy transformation, some Governors made us believe they were saving for their states and Tinubu was the one doing wrong.

Today, if you ask them what did they do as governors, they will tell you how much millions of Naira for their state. If you ask for visible developments, their supporters will just get angry and start yabbing you 😩😩😩 because they have no evidence.

Tinubu is reforming Nigeria, again OBJ and same “politicians do nothing group” are still on Tinubu’s case.

Tinubu will succeeded, Nigeria will win. 👏🙏🙏🙏❤️

It shall be well.

God bless Nigeria

Your submissions show total lack of understanding of the differences
between national and sub-national governments.

Lagos didn't buy fuel at 5 times the other Nigerian states.
It didn't buy forex at 3 times other Nigerian states.

The only people affected by Tinubu's Lagos "reforms" aka increased tax collections
are the middle class who were not previously paying taxes.

oluwaseyi0:
Why only NNPC ?

Why not allow marketers and even filling stations order directly from refinery

What exactly is the need/use of a middleman called NNPC

From which refinery?
If subsidy is fully removed, there will be no need of middleman called NNPC.
Till then, NNPC will be involved because of pricing.

englishmart:
True. I bought 10 litres for 6500 this morning

I pity your car engine.

OALandAgents:
I don't understand Yoruba language , but it seemed to me that the man gave his official advice in English language and used Yoruba to give the important advice that Nigerian women in UK needed to hear.

Clearly that advice is that involving the police in any issue to do with your family is ill advised and would inevitably lead to break up of marriage and even the family.

Don't you think the individual involved is better equipped to decide if to report or not?

Some NL women like ivolt, cococandy, pocohantas, Kobojunkieee, 1Sharon commenting do not understand this about UK, perhaps because they have never lived in White Oyibo land.

I must be a NL women because I called out the unprofessionalism of the cop in this video, right?
Are you aware that the current laws on domestic issues in the west were made by men-dominated assemblies?

That said, you and the man wants to enforce Nigerians tolerance of abuse in the UK.
People must never say anything to outsiders unless when taking their last breath, right?

The only thing that has changed is your location and income assuming you have been to the UK
before as you insinuate.

For me, the man was spot on because he works in the system and he knows that it is an unwritten objective of the authorities to destroy black families so that they find it easier to seize the children and put them into care or adoption.

Trying to scare potential abuse reporters again?
Children are seized when both parents are incompetent.

Personally Nigerians in particular and black people in general need to understand that the Oyibo land police are not our friends and we should avoid involving them n our personal business.

Another scare tactic.
You are trying to use racism argument to rationalise covering up abuse.
More like shut up and take the abuse because white police are racist.

I would even recommend only calling them if your life is at risk or if serious injury may be imminent. Otherwise we should have numbers of other black familiy and friends we can call as alternatives to police.

People should be free to use alternatives if they want but not discouraged from reporting
by a man in police uniform.

But if it is the typical Nigerian alternative to domestic abuse resolutions.
It usually goes like this;
The wife is told to be more patient, tolerant and stop challenging the lord of the house
and she is reminded that her mother went through similar issues and her endurance was
rewarded by successful children.

The husband is urged to be more considerate and merciful which
an abusive person will ignore because he has just been validated as the alpha and omega
of his own home. Why should he give an inch?

When you create incentives where there is no consequence to violence or abuse, the society
becomes more violent and vice versa.

Realtord43:
It's obvious to know that a man would cheat on his wife and still love his wife in high regards but same can't be said to a woman who cheat on her husband.

Women cheat with emotions while men cheat without any feeling attached

Can you clarify what you mean by cheater's love?
Don't mention paying bills, because some people pay bills of others they don't
even have a relationship with.

okay

MadPolitician:
All these might ultimately convince iran to get a nuclear weapon. And that will utterly change power dynamics in the whole region

Nuclear weapons only give an edge over non-nuclear state.

MerchantMNT:
Why didn't your watch the video yourself? Does it make sense to comment on a video you don't understand? You are the one displaying airheadedness for commenting on a video you don't understand or didn't watch.

Don't be silly.
You either didn't watch the video or couldn't understand it even though no cryptic language
was used in there.

hmmn

That is a situation when killer drones and attack helicopters
will have proven supreme.
Nigerian army should stop fighting bullets with bullets but
instead use weapons deadlier than the enemy can parade.

That's a great ROI for illegal immigrants who spent far less than $35K to reach Sweden.

The headline doesn't match the content.
The government indeed supported the farm but not as much as it claimed.

pocohantas:
They know fully well no woman would go report her husband for sneezing. Neither would any man be asked to stay away from his wife for sneezing. Agenda must agend and we can see how hard they sneeze with the reports of unalived women in Nigeria this week alone.

The man knows his country people and how they can misconstrue a statement, but he went ahead to say such fully clad in a police uniform. He should open a church or Youtube page for his teachings. That said, if any woman chooses to divorce her husband to fit into whatever culture, she would definitely find out the importance of teamwork in a hard way.

What I find funny is that some of the readers who consider the cop a hero in the first thread
have now made a u-turn to claim he never discouraged women from reporting domestic issues.

If he really didn't say anything contrary to the UK's value, then why was he considered a hero
in the first place?

Given that about 99% of Nigerians, if I am not exaggerating, share similar view with him,
the man could become a YouTube sensation if he starts a marital advice channel.
So, your advice is spot on.

femi4:
Go back and watch again n perhaps relearn your language

If after watching the full video, not the cut out part and you can't see
the discouragement.

Then I can conclude you don't understand context in language usage.

Bovis:
Domestic violence is different from domestic disputes, the officer is advising them to learn how to manage their domestic disputes instead of reporting every single issue to the police

You want to play with language.

List the examples of domestic "disputes" that shouldn't have been reported but
you think can get a man in trouble when reported.

femi4:
He never mentioned anything like that. Naija bloggers and sensational headlines. Even here on nl, they do the same thing

Everything he said was about both parents should work together to raise their kids to become responsible people in life

Yes, the blogger emphasised the part they feel will resonate with their readers.
But that he didn't discourage reporting is not true contextually.
It is not as if I was listening to a translation, it is my language.

babtoundey:
I listened to every utterance the man made there was no time he told the women to remain in abusive marriage. I think feminists are doing too much. His advice bothers generally on family cohesion. The need for woman to tolerate and cooperate with their husband. He even gave a specific instance of unemployment on the part of the husband.

Unemployment is not a crime in the UK, so no husband can be reported for being jobless.
There are 2 categories of valid domestic issue reports, actual violence or threats of violence.
So, if a man is reported for sneezing as you insinuate, then there is no case!

What usually happens is that there is an argument over an issue, the one who loses
in the oral/insults contest(usually men) devolve into subtle or non-subtle threats. Some women believe
the threats(may or may not be credible, nobody knows) and go on to lodge complain. Others don't.

I would have been somewhat sympathetic for the man's view if
1. He wasn't on uniform
2. He provided statistical evidence that shows that Nigerian women
make more frivolous reports than other groups in the UK.

My position is that it is wrong for a cop to discourage reporting for whatever reason.

femi4:
He was addressing the Nigerian community as a Nigerian but trust our overzealous naija uk bloggers, recorded the lecture and gave it a deceptive caption: " UK police advised NIgeran women.....bla bla"

He shouldn't have given the advice in police uniform.
Yes, there will always be frivolous reports but it is not his place to discourage reporting officially

Goodnewsforlife:
don't b stupid
Guy I b Yoruba person, I hear Wetin d man talk n it's same advise any family oriented person will give

Nope.
That is the advice giving by religious or traditional folks to cover up abuse
and shame those who call out for help.

Newton2024:
I'm very sure you support Tinubu. I don't know what you guys' brains are made of. You reason like Satan.

Another dollard with free data.
Go and play with your kid mates.

cococandy:
I hope wherever this man is now, he’s saved up for his retirement because they’re about to make this go viral and unfortunately for him he might get laid off for this probably unsanctioned mission he sent himself on. Or maybe he’ll release a statement denying it. Let’s watch and see.

I know that no reputable police department anywhere in the modern world will officially stand behind such a potentially dangerous statement and expose themselves to liability.

I can’t even understand what he’s saying so we’re only taking the words of whoever posted as fact

I understand what he is saying.
He wants women to resolve domestic issues aka violence in house and not involve "outsiders"
aka law enforcement. But that is his own personal opinion being falsely paraded as the policy of the police department that hired him.

He will likely suffer no consequence due to language barrier.

Judolisco:
He is not covering anything.... Na part of wetin dem dey talk bdis.... Oversabi.... No be everything dem dey call police untop... I've been to a court before when d judge refused to dissolve a marriage and asked d couple to settle out of court.... Husband slap wife, u don sharply carry phone call police make dem come arrest am... Matter wey ur parents or pastor fit settle

The judge did that because the law permit him/her.
In a no fault divorce state, you don't need any reason for seeking divorce.
It will be granted no questions asked as the law demands.

In the west, an husband slapping a wife risks jail term if the case is pursued.
Using parents/pastors to settle cases of domestic violence is only promoting
a violent society overall.
In order to reduce violence, there must be serious consequences for violent behaviors!

Very unprofessional.
I am not surprised the advise is coming from an immigrant.

The officer deserve a reprimand for trying to cover up domestic violence.
He is trying to promote a corrupt and abusive society with socially enforced code of silence.


BTW, there is nothing like "UK police".

Nothing special here.
With a few hundreds of thousands of dollars in lobbying fund,
any group can meet with the US speaker.

juliuscaesar:
Dangote will eventually have to bow to the pressure from the importers. They are a solid mafia and they know the game too well. There's a reason ALL the government owned refineries are not working. These importers and marketers control the industry and can ruin any refinery if they decide not to do business with that refinery.

Dangote need not bow to anybody's pressure as long as his products are cheaper or
at the same price with imported one.
The only organization capable of pressuring Dangote is NNPC and the marketers are
merely following its footstep.

Most of these importers get forex from CBN and sell in the black market and make huge profits. They also do what is called round tripping. They import petroleum product, and bribe officials at the department of petroleum resources, NNPC and the likes. They get the subsidy for the products they imports, let's say 30 million metric tonnes. They discharge only 10 or 15 million and then take the rest to neighboring African countries to sell. This is after they have been paid subsidy on 30 million metric tonnes.

This isn't the 2010s anymore.
NNPC is the sole importer of petrol as only NNPC has the forex(not even enough) to import it.
The marketers in this case are merely distributors. No marketer is being paid subsidy, they
buy from NNPC and sell at a profit.

The Dangote Refinery VP is a joker.
Why not also list the reasons why marketers are shunning Dangote's product?

shortgun:
Oga watch the video. Was he or was he not beaten?

Do you know how he got there or the people beating him?
Just think of how many scenarios where people are publicly beaten in Nigeria.
Thieves, cultists, thugs, government agents and even police get beaten under different circumstances.

The blogger assumed the beating has something to do with suicide because of where it occured.
No evidence.

This is childishly fake.
If they say importers, that may be plausible.
But marketers complaining of cheap diesel price that is obviously false
Marketers make their money from margins and not cost price.

In fact, a cheaper diesel will be highly beneficial to low-finance marketers.

Never trust blogger's headline.
It is all for clicks.
Let us wait until the real story emerges.

mrjoeblinks:
Ehen?
.
If those children no carry him type of forehead… I’ll support him not to pay any child support

Will you support him and go to jail with him too?

lampido22:
You claim custody of the child, yet you want support.

That is how it works.
The one without custody pay the one with custody unless they
are too poor to pay. Then the debt is carried till death.
