It was practically the same legislation as crafted by Lagos that other states copy-pasted. Although you can make a case for Lagos that they make enough to bear such expenses for ex-governors/deputy's

[color=royalblue]That's true[/color]

BlueRayDick:
A bill was sent to the Lagos state house of asembly in 2007 and it was signed into law shortly before Tinubu left office . Other states followed suit.

That’s what I meant when I saw Lagos lead others follow

[color=royalblue]Hmmmm

So, some states dont have such?[/color]

nihilistjnr:
Not everybody draws a pension.

It's probably a measure of how low the bar has fallen that someone who negotiated a 7.5 percent cut of perpetual income from a brewery partly funded by Government funds is being hailed for not drawing a pension that is probably peanuts anyway.

[color=royalblue]Let's just stick to the point i raised sir

I am not calling him a Saint. Pandora papers still comes to mind

But concerning forfeiting his entitlements, thats commendable. A typical politician won't even forfeit one Land cruiser Prado for any reason

BlueRayDick:
Only 22 states have the ex-governor benefits package . 21 of those states followed the lead of Lagos state government under Tinubu .

I think Lagos state has cancelled it recently , but don’t know about the other states especially in this era of reduced government revenue .

[color=royalblue]Can we celebrate Obi without bringing in BAT, please?

You get proof say others follow BAT?[/color]

doggedfighter:
Izzou, the price let you laugh ?

[color=royalblue]Yes oh.

But then, exchange rates are crazy these days

If you already use state govt fund to boost your business then what else do you need pension for?

[color=royalblue]Nahh

Too much money aint enough money (In Lil Wayne's voice)

For the guy not to collect, e try

Donjazet2:
But I've been screaming this since. Are you just finding out?

[color=royalblue]I don't read your comments anymore, unless you are mentioning my moniker

Sorry[/color]

nihilistjnr:
He already took it as a lump advance with that Brewery deal at the very least

[color=royalblue]Nahh.

A typical Nigerian governor will take deals, kickbacks and still collect veteran benefits.

The guy try[/color]

[color=royalblue]Obi as an ex governor is not collecting any benefits?

Very commendable[/color]

raumdeuter:
Transport cost of the fuel from Lagos to Benin will make it more expensive. I feel some places in the North dem fit dey pay 400 per liter

[color=royalblue]When we were paying 170 for fuel, it was 170 at Benin

What was the magic then?[/color]

obainojazz:
Surely they are thieves, plus they easily sell in Lagos

But let’s also factor in the extra cost… I just took a screenshot of petrol prices in my area…

While people lament they are buying at $2plus… I buy $1.69 closer to my place…

[color=royalblue]The Government of Nigeria is subsidising PMS. So the RRP should be even

It was even and slightly higher when we were at 170. There was no fueling station selling 200 or 250 then

How come we have a difference of almost 100 naira in some states?

Wicked, heartless greed, my brother[/color]

obainojazz:
worked in the downstream sector before japa.... There is also cost of storage which runs into millions, cost of bribing at Apapa where one tanker pays thousands of Naira

There's also cost of licensing, bribing DPR officials which is another millions..... then we get down to other operating expenses

Let's not forget going concern as they need enough profit so when shiit hits the fans, they still remain in business

Without subsidy, I reckon it shout be between 250 to 300 Naira........ They still thieves though as they pay their workers peanuts and pocket the said profits for personal enjoyment

[color=royalblue]Lagos is selling at 180 to 200.

Outside Lagos, it goes for almost 250 to 300.

So does it mean that Lagos marketers don't pay all these dues you listed?

Bros, its greed. Especially those one-man fueling stations.

Oga go just call, put price as e like, and people go dey buy.

When fuel was 170, why was it the same all over the country?[/color]

larride:
The same thing I said about the price of rice that was skyrocketing.

Nigerians just love fast avenue for profit.

We really need that consumer price board.

[color=royalblue]As for that rice matter, i have decided to keep mute. Let's all suffer it together

Yes, i agree the demand is high, but the greed is something else.
[/color]

Segedinho:
Don't think so.....


They might have hoarded it b4 now but..i still see refilling in some stations that are out of fuel just to sell 4 270 ....

[color=royalblue]Most of these prices are just man's wickedness to man.

The landing cost of fuel is 170-172. Add transport and other miscellaneous. It should push it to almost 180.

200 is ideal for any station that fears God and loves mankind

All these 270 - 300 na just our fellow man trying to rip off his struggling brothers[/color]

DeadPresidents:
There's nothing impossible for brown envelopes to achieve.

FIFA is an extremely corrupt org.

[color=royalblue]A long list of promising players in their prime won't be going. Quite unfair

Nothing wey money no fit scatter[/color]

andrewbaba44:
I think so

A over different media few Minutes ago

[color=royalblue]Yeah. Just saw it now.

FIFA is mad for giving Qatar the hosting rights, and extra mad for shifting it to November[/color]

larride:
Alot of people do this and they still have the audacity to blame govt. Nigerians are naturally greedy and selfish.

Alot of Assu members do this also, collect scholarship to study abroad and then japa from there without giving value for what you've been giving, later they will come back and say the country is not good.

Anybody the govt want to send on scholarship should be in schools in Nigeria.

[color=royalblue]I don't even know the sense in sponsoring someone abroad that won't add 1 inch of value to your country

When i saw how Kwankwaso sponsored people abroad, i couldn't help but laugh. How many of them are in Kano, trying to improve or add into the system?

andrewbaba44:
Mane will be missing the World Cup

So painful

[color=royalblue]Has it been confirmed?

Modified: It has oh [/color]

PDPGuy:

Qatar no be anybody’s mate

[color=royalblue]Heard about 6000 plus died working to build the stadiums.

Ballzproblem2:
see me here again,

[color=royalblue]Liar

This person is a Zambian[/color]

[color=royalblue]BAT and Obi better go and beg Wike to cool down with his Anti-Atiku agenda.

He will eventually turn this election to a Northern and Southern affair[/color]

GloriousGbola:
important to note

author of the article wears his bias on his sleeve

[color=royalblue]I thought People's Gazette authored it.

Or is he the owner?[/color]

Itsrm:
Are you sure? First he said he chose Okowa because he's someone he can work with

Secondly when Buhari gave Okowa an award, he said its confirmation he didn't make a mistake with his choice

Thirdly while in Ibadan, he said the only way Ayu can be removed is to follow the constitution of the PDP

Lastly, he recently said he has decided to move on because its too late to talk about removing Ayu.

These are the ones I can remember off my head and you say he has not said a word. If he wants to say a word nko?

[color=royalblue]I'm talking about since when Wike has been clamping on Atiku's supporters, eulogozing other party candidates, printing campaign buses without Atiku on it, etc

Was there any that Atiku responded to?[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Just as I guess. I won't be surprised if in the coming weeks a popular Hausa musician will release a song that will point to Tinubu's drug case and paint him in the minds of the common man as a person unfit in the sight of God to rule. The numbers Tinubu has been gathering in the north with his travels and tours will sure go down to unexplainable levels. Then Atiku will cook more and more.

I remember the song "masugu sugu" one popular guy released in the north in 2014/2015. The song was telling those that want to run ; they should run cos Buhari is coming.... He's coming to clear mess and people who are corrupt should run away. He mentioned some perceived corrupt politicians in the song. The common northerner then had it at back of his mind that Buhari is coming to clear the mess and they voted so.

[color=royalblue]Atiku has left the South for BAT and Obi to be dragging themselves.

With all the noise Wike is making, Atiku hasn't said a word.

Man has shifted his energy to the North. Poaching here and there, and spreading the tribal gospel

Wike and his gang are even helping him to sell his market well in the north. [/color]

Follow this twitter link for the scanned copies.

[color=royalblue]I think its the same with the previous one. Or rather, a complete version.

If there's one thing that's sure, BAT cannot fight corruption. The man is the definition of corruption himself.

Nigeria is just blessed with cursed leaders and people of zero integrity. A fate, i have come to accept[/color]

Just a random thought:
