Dude, in the diesel consumption arena, small business owners are a micro-dot. What small business user can be compared to the likes of Nigerian Breweries for example? What that single company consumes in a day is what thousands of small users consume in a year.

The bit about trucks is guesswork, because Nigeria has kept recording growth in the construction industry.

How many companies of NB's size do we have in Nigeria? Do you know it's mostly small business that drives the economy of a nation? Solely ignoring the impact they make is definitely far fetched.
Do you know how many people downsized from larger  KVA diesel generators to smaller petrol generators due to the subsidy?
Ignoring these groups as a non factor stats is just very rich coming from you oga beaf.

At best, it's very difficult to put a concrete % impact of fraud on anything in Nigeria due to unavailability of adequate data

@Uyi Iredia
My guy, when I talk about R&, I am not talking about FIIRO. If you have ever been to FIIRO though, you will collapse in tears.
Govt is serious about setting a percentage of the budget aside, strictly for R& (I forget the details, though).

As for science and tech requiring raw materials, surely that has little to do with the fuel subsidy. No?

The 50% drop in deisel consumption could not have come from people switching to petrol. The major users of desiel are industries who use it to run their generators 24/7, such users cannot switch to petrol. It is glaring that the 50% drop was due to a drop in fraud.

Lol! And I thought I was making progress!

How glaring Mr Beaf?
What about the common sense possibility that the small business owners that rely on diesel to run their business couldn't afford to any more once the subsidy was removed

What about the possibility that the soaring cost of truck transportation in the building sector couldn't be contained coupled with the fact of squeeze in money market which in turn affected the once booming construction industry?

Ironically we do. At least I know there's a serious shortage of teachers at all levels in Nigeria. I know a private university that is planning to bring in Indians en masse.
We're definitely short of doctors in Nigeria as well, as well as pharmacists. The government putting everybody on pause makes it seem like we don't.
What I was trying to say is, there's no new formula to career growth. What has happened of late is, people are seeking short cuts to wealth.

Sir, are you linking the shortage to the inability of teenagers to study the right courses at university or the fact that teaching profession is not as noble as it was back in the day. Delving into the possible reason why people run away from teaching profession shouldn't take you long to realise that the paltry salary the profession promises might just be the main course. Mind you, it's the same everywhere so not synonymous to Nigeria only but what other responsible government do is attach some sweeteners in the form of perks so as to make it attractive for graduates.

Also, do you realise the main reason why most doctors are leaving the shores of Nigerian en masses is simply because of the pay condition, you may argue that people in such professions shouldn't really be looking at the benefits of the job rather than the prestige and satisfaction it brings when they see the end results of their respective patients.

AjanleKoko:
Sort of like that thread where some dude was asking about a switch for medical lab science to agric economics, and people were talking about future careers in banking and finance, if the person got a good degree in the agric economics. I very much doubt that the financial industry will exist in its current form in 10 years. Why not follow through with a career in medical lab science, which gives you an actual skill which will remain in demand, and also provide a definite path towards entrepreneurship?

I totally agree with the above. What we need is people with actual technical skills. Technicians are usually the main driving force of any industry and if the nation is serious about being a global player in manufacturing then surely this ought to be developed further.

Beaf:
@Uyi Iredia
The post below is also for you.

How about for the first time ever in our history, mothers get paid at birth? What do you think such would do for the country? How about finally building of Mambila dam that we've heard about since we were born?

This is the first ever Nigerian govt to invest in Research an Development, What do you think that would do for the betterment and dignity of the common man? Do you wish to live in a black country that is serious about development?

Have you bothered to read the SURE document?

Are you asking people to continue getting excited all because of promises? I'm all for removal of subsidy but the implementation surely could have been better. You don't remove a damper from a car and not expect to have massive implication. The team could have sought and implemented temporary sweeteners that will help negate the effects that the sudden withdrawal of subsidy brings.

Why ask people to keep living on hope when nothing has ever been done in recent history of our nation to change that hope to reality.

No matter how you look at it, the implementation of subsidy removal policy is just wrong. The policy itself is the right thing to do but at the right time when necessary things are in place

Beaf:
^
I asked you a simple question, how will the removal of subsidies set Nigeria back. I am not interested in empty sentiments.
HOW?

how about higher Inflationary pressures and we all know what higher inflation mean to the common Nigerian.

StarBoard:
At the risk of sounding like a flip-flop,I am reverting back to my position that Ashley Young signing was a fraudulent one.
Absolutely unnecessary and a waste of resources that could have been used judiciously elsewhere.
Ashley Young at best is average.No need to debate that.He hasn't managed to replicate his early season form.
He wasn't what we needed.Simples.

A team is meant to improve not consolidate
At best, the signing was more for consolidation as he wouldn't have been able to help improve our rating in europe.

ROFLMAO
How dumb

mbulela:
* Without wishing to slam on about this, the midfield mismatch was a consequence of United's dealings in the transfer market over the summer. This deficiency in the middle wasn't because of United's admittedly lengthy injury list, as the pairing of Giggs and Carrick was one that you could easily imagine Ferguson picking even with a full-strength squad at his disposal. To repeat the point - in the summer, United needed at least one top-class specialist central midfielder before they required a promising centre-back or a winger they didn't really need. They didn't buy one, and they are suffering for it now.

The old man doesn't want to adapt to current footie dynamics. We just simply can't continue riding on the 4-4-2 system. If we are to continue doing that then we need horses that will be able to run all day in the midfield.
I still don't get the signing of Ashley Young. I probably never will

What's the job of Mr bald headed Phelan?
looks like the dude gets paid to nod and sit his shiny mirror head on 'em audi sits

What does the gum chewing old man do with his bald headed clueless assistant do when we need goals to get back in the game, he brings off our most prolific striker in the past few games and leave in the lethargic giggs to continue doing f.uck all in the midfield

Smh

Bleep giggs Mehn . . . So pissed . . . .v he ain't done f.uck all

Oh you are fed up of playing the short memory game, now its the dumb memory game time innit, for you to now publicly state that you were only there INNOCENTLY to share the same sentiment as someone cursing Dr Balogun, Prince-onx, Busybosy, Jennykadry, Ifyalways and co, wow, how clever of you, pat yourself on the back!


Ok I take your word for it that the bullying of Rokiatu and one young slim lady like that sitting behind some office desk, as well as the covert picking on cuddlemii that SPANNED DAYS, did not happen in your section.

Wasn't this you here agreeing TO EVERYTHING, but now you wanna play the game of short memory huh Seeing as you are of God's squad too, you did not even remember to preach this was an important thread oh, only to rubberstamp your agreement with everything, wishy-washy much, hmmm [/quote]So sharing same sentiments now mean i was also wishing you bad or better still agreeing to the curses?

No one was exempt from her attack, cos she also blames the Chaircovers and Mutters for sitting on the fence and me that dealt with it a bully.

Why was I spam-banned? Cos I laughed at BelaMorena?

Looks like some of the key words you used in your post got tagged by the spambot as a spam like post. Will run ahead to go report it to the admin/supermod as well.

Yes i'm hardheaded and old but i still maintain that you don't treat addicts with psychology or whatnot. you treat them by going hard.
Each responsible government try to prevent things happening by including the effects on drug and sex education in school curriculum at early stages so children can make informed choices.
Once they bypass age that they can be easily influenced then the obvious solution is to attack the source rather than dealing with prevention.

I know you like to argue and it's making me

I will notify the Admin/supermod

How on earth have you managed to interpret agreeing to sentiments to me supporting the curses or what not that was being thrown about on the thread

It appears to me albeit on the surface that you are most probably harbouring a lot of hatred in what's supposed to be a sacred heart. My advice as a fellow human being is to let things go. Find peace within yourself and stop bringing up things that happened eon years ago.

@maclatuni
You could have created this thread under the general section or whatever ya know  
Family section is just about the only sane section on NL so opening a free for all worthless e-fights thread is definitely not the way to go.

Thank uuuuuuu
