Fallacies of appeal to authority

I want someone to show me with numbers how refining crude in nigeria would lead to cheaper petrol?

It cost less than ₦5 to transport refined goods to nigera from Europe or asia

In fact it cost way from to transport it from depot to filling stations than from Europe to Nigeria per litre

So how exactly would local refining make petrol cheaper I really want to know

Local refinery is profiting if the corrupt people would let it run without shutting down and demanding for maintenance fees.

Also, it's more profitable as we will easily be able to have absolute control and storage of our excess production into reserves pending when there's dollar rise.

More profiting when we dont have to pay more people to protect the vessels from pirates.

All these cost are what the FG will never bring to your notice because it's non-of-your-biniz!😎

Omo, how can the FG be this slow when it has to do with the workers .....

But when it involves their looted funds, they approve it in a jiffy.

Tinubu scammed labour. And since he wasn't going to pay the money, they decided to destabilise the labour HQ with irrelevant police invites and so on.

They kept it outside for safety reasons to guard against gas explosion 💥

My gas is outside but with a burglary.

A gas cylinder is very expensive for anyone to be careless about theirs.

And you guys expect the first class beneficiaries of the current flawed system to accept and change it? It will be a miracle for such to happen.

If they refused, then they stand to face the consequences....

Remember that, nothing last forever...

The African-Americans of today where slaves and they were sold around and molested anyhow... Today they're free.

One day, Nigeria will rise and face the oppressors. Might be soon or later.

Who would've believed that PDP will be out of power? But today APC is there and someday, another party will take over.

Things will get better, whether we like it or not.

It will be a revolution and it will sweep across all the tribes and all the class of individuals.

You're staying in Lugbe and you keep your things were thieves can easily help you keep them well?

Lugbe, Nyanya, Kuje and Mabushi are places where you cannot be too free with your things....

Rest on bro.....


Some people should understand that, when you're slim, you probably don't have enough calories to burn, but you can lift metals to build up your muscles. But then you need supplements to boost up your tissues.

But I regularly see slim people working out.... For what?

Vanity upon vanity.

These people will come and tell us that 20mil is way too small for them.

Breakfast too sure! 😊😊😊

Sometimes, a promising relationship can lead to marriage and still scatter afterwards....

If a woman has the fear of God and willing to endure, then the marriage will stand. But if she no wan gree for anybody, na so the relationship go scatter...

The corruption is a symptom of the ultimate problem which is quite simply that electrical power is not sold at a cost reflective tarrif.

Once you start doing subsidy and cheap things, corruption follows because at the end, it matters not how much you thief, government money is coming.

Same thing does not happen with gsm because at the end, you make profits or you die. Mtel on the other hand collapsed because free government money and subsodsed price. It could not make enough of a profit to compete with the others, even glo. Let's not even forget nitel self.

Let's assume the government decides to stop subsidy on power tariff. What will happen to the profit from the sells of the power distribution from tax derivation?

Same corruption will happen to it.

It's the same thing happening with the oil sector, after subsidy was removed, the oil tycoons is now powerful as they control the total funds of the all crude sells.

It doesn't matter if it's privatised or not.

nairalanda1:
That is a profit of approx 700 billion naira yearly.

Consider that we need something like 10 billion dollars or 15 trillion naira yearly to even get to somewhere around 24 hours daily power

Consider that most discos don't make enough to pay tax .

Consider that till first quarter 2024, most discos customers paid well below the cost of production

Consider that three discos had to be taken over by the banks because debt

Consider that government owes discos 1.7 trillion naira in unpaid subsidies

Consider that at least 40% of consumers don't pay for the power they use

That's why we can't have good things.

Band A consumer make up 20% of all consumers of power. Most people have still been paying under the production cost.

The thing is, if government was serious about letting the power sector operate in a free and open market, nothing stops them from making 5 trillion yearly

Plus why should they give you meter free. How would they pay the meter manufacturing companies? Most of whom employ common Nigerians and have salaries to pay.

Would you give people free stuff if you had a business?

I am using estimated bill..... I pay rough 50k monthly for a one bedroom flat......

Also, the corruption that is within the TCN is the reason why the power sector is where it is today.

You shouldn't take excuses for these people.

The essence of the bands created was to remove subsidy so that people using the light at a full range will pay for it.

Regardless of his support for corruption and looking elsewhere while the government torments the people of Nigeria..... Ensuring that the judiciary and it's staff receive reasonable pay without striking or dragging the government and reviving the institution is highly recommended.

Recently, they improved on affidavit and they introduced barcode scanning.

But yet, he couldn't ensure that the judiciary stand independent of the executive intimidation.....

Shame on your retirement sir!

Lol......

Singing, dancing and fellowshiping all the time.

While God provides meals and sane environment for his holy servants.

Same heaven satan stood up to oppose God is where God wants to gather people again.😊😊

Another revolution to happen and birth another satan....

In another century, we will have another satan with the hellfire satan and the story will continue like that and it won't make sense to people listening to it.

Just imagine the scam.

They generated more than this and also from people who pays for light they never used.....

How can you not make the prepared meter free and verily available for people while using estimated billings to scam innocent Nigerians.

What's with the pinky verification tick?

Anyway, this is a clear sign that Trump is loved.

What policies do governors need to cultivate their land and set up agro-processing zones in their states? What policies allowed Saraki as governor to invite Israeli farmers to Kwara State? What policies allowed a Harvard-trained economist to come to Jos to farm tomatoes and earned the nickname "Tomato Jos"? What policies allowed Governor Bago to import tractors and purchase buses as well as setting up a cargo airport to life agro-produce?

What policies allow governors to spend billions on Ramadan feeding and Hajj subsidy without addressing basic needs of water supply?

Now that Supreme Court granted LG autonomy, some state governors like Oyo are opposing it. Why?

My entire challenge to all of you is: do not absolve anybody! Hold everyone to account. The state governors purchased vehicles for traditional rulers; on what budget?

Governors are cultivating and empowering farmers... You're making assumptions because you haven't been to state owned farms...

emkz:
I have always admonished governors to work for their people. I was not on Nairaland during GEJ's tenure, and I supported GEJ then before supporting Buhari. Here is when I admonished the Edo governor in 2020.

That isn't clearly defined.... It's a post from 2020 and that was APC tenure.

You're singing support for the president and asking people to hold governors accountable.... But these organs work simultaneously and without the policies of the president, the governors can't implement otherwise in their respective states.

jesmond3945:
i hit the street.

Exactly, moaning online about what you can't do in real life......liverless online warrior!😎👍

emkz:
After reading my submissions, make the effort to understand.

It is tasking to keep explaining things to your kind when my submissions are so simple for a child to follow. Did I say don't blame the president?

I am saying include the governors and leaders at all levels as Nigeria is a federal system and not a unitary system.

How hard is that to comprehend?

It will make sense to post a screenshot of you blaming the governors during GEJ and Buhari regime.

For us to ascertain that, you've been pushing for this campaign of blaming governors and not just a new routine or an awakening call for governors time to receive blames.

I believe in what you said but why are you starting now?

jesmond3945:
thats all you can do bro to moan online and in an anonymous platform for that matter . If you want change you have to hit the street and encourage others to do so.

And get killed by police officers whom you're protesting to help their lives as well....

And tell me where you did your own protest and how that changed anything....

jesmond3945:
but they were brave to make their voice heard, yours is to moan online.

What silly braveness is that?

Protesting in a country where the government knows the right thing to do but rather refused to do it and share the money to buy yatch.

Is like educating a dunce who refuses to listen to learn. What's brave about protesting against a government that pays teachers, the nation builders a token while paying PAs to politicians way bigger and without tax deductions.

EreluRoz:
Oya start coming, this protesters have just made everywhere to be scary

Can't reply my mail, don't know why.

jesmond3945:
did you protest?

I didn't..... Now tell me, what changed ?

Are those who protested given special fuel and rice?

Una go just deh ask stupid questions anyhow.

Then she's a pretender.

What is it used for?

My fuel pump developed issues because I patronised black market.....

You have to queue for hours before getting fuel.....

This morning I have engagement but I will have to use public transport because I no get fuel....

Very annoying country...

If you speak up, they will come and tell you hundred reasons why you should endure and wait till things get better.... As if you will survive the hunger till Tinubu gets sense.


The country is gradually losing it....

Because we are good at supporting our tribesmen who don't even know us for political reasons, we will also ensure the suffering for the same politicsl reasons.

Next time, you people should vote God/Allah to lead this control instead of voting man. Since all we want is divine intervention.

That is.... MIRACLE.

Nigerians need MIRACLE to happen.

But we voted a president and he's there buying yatch and setting up a refinery and exporting crude to make more money aga8ehat his wife said that they're already rich and that they're not coming for Nigeria's money.

So, we need miracles and not hardworking president.

It's all political and it's a northern thing....

Lol.....


Understand that that, Hausas control the political space.... Yorubas control the media space and Igbos control the market space.

So, if you don't use your space properly, allow them to use theirs.

Point is, Igbos for see shege😆😆

Any country with the population of India and poverty inflicted country as India who adopted the use of technology will always strive in ICT development.

Nigeria is yet to make use of chatgpt but when we start, they will restrict us from using it. Because, we will abuse it.😁

Irrespective of anything, the world is aware that India is the centre of internet fraudsters and scamming....but somehow, Nigeria takes the blame.
