Business › Re: Filling Stations No Longer Sell Kerosene. Painters, How Are You Coping? by JuanDeDios: 9:50am On Jul 16 |
ikorodureporta: Is it appropriate to use petrol in thinning paint? This is what painters are doing now due to non-availability and cost of kerosene.
In my area, almost all the filling stations have removed their machines for selling kerosene.
Kerosene used to be the cheapest of all the petroleum products, but it's now the most expensive. What happened??
Apart from cooking, its a valuable product we use for other things like burning of refuse, thinning paint, washing off stains, controlling insects invasion, etc...
Even if it expensive, at least it should be made available for those who need it. The last time I bought kerosine to use in the farm, a camel fully passed through a needle (abi how do they say it?) before I got it. I had to go all the way to Agege and some apprentice Area Boys made it a contract to go show me where it's sold. |
Politics › Re: Sowore Calls For Coroner's Inquest On Mary Habila's Death by JuanDeDios: 9:45am On Jul 16 |
Image123: As usual, you are ignorant and blissful about it. Dave Umahi had earlier asked for an autopsy on it which was reported but you seem unaware of. Sowore coming with nsogbu aluta demands is the politics you cannot see, why i asked if he also took this for a gig. Funny. Anyway, here’s what you’re ignoring in your combative response to me. 1. Not knowing something (being ignorant, as you call it, is not bad of itself) as long as you’re willing to change your position when the right information comes. The fact you don’t know what is called a FAIR COMMENT in political discourse really puts you across as someone who’s not smart at all. Like I’ve explained to you before, if someone opens a thread to say, “JuanDeDios embezzled money.” If you say, “The police should investigate him well and prosecute him and I hope he rots in jail if found guilty.” That’s a fair comment. If someone later says on the thread that no embezzlement occurred, you may say “Oh, ok. Thank God no money is missing.” That’s a fair comment too. The fact you don’t know what is called a FAIR COMMENT in political discourse really puts you across as someone who isn’t very clever. 2. Your position that once Mr Umahi called for an autopsy, everyone else should close their mouth and go home and sleep makes no sense. As long as the autopsy is yet to be carried out, the calls are fine. So your derisive response to Sowore (an activist who’s consistent in intervening in these types of cases, whether it’s Umahi or not) remains unjustified. 3. If Mr Umahi has called for an autopsy, that is good and should be acknowledged. But the call does not automatically mean he’s innocent. If I were Mr Umahi and someone died in my house and I have something to hide, here’s what I’d do. I’ll visit the family, put on my most sympathetic face, and condole with them. I’ll tell them it’s an unfortunate incident. ‘I cared for their daughter and would never have done anything to harm her. That day, she suddenly started convulsing and my efforts to revive her failed. I then called a doctor but she died before the doctor arrived. Well, God gives and God takes and we can’t question Him. Here’s $100,000 to take care of the children.’ I’ll also promise to pay for university studies abroad for their remaining kids. Then I’ll tell them that it’s better for everyone if the corpse is buried quickly. Political detractors calling an autopsy are just troublemakers who should not be given a chance. So they should retrieve the body immediately and bury it so that everyone can move on from the unfortunate incident and politicians will not use it against the president. Then if any cheeky journalist thrusts his yeye mic in front of my face, I will say that, “Yes, there must be an autopsy. I have nothing to hide.” 4. The fact that you automatically defend these types of things show that something has horribly gone wrong with you. I doubt you still recognize yourself when you look in the mirror these days. Watching you lately has been like watching evolution in reverse. Evolution says ape turned to man. But your case? Anyway, here’s my own call: Let there be an autopsy. The calls will stop after an autopsy has been done, not after Mr Umahi has called for one. |

The rush to cover the matter up makes more sense when considered from this perspective. That our honorable minister could become so deranged with lust over an obese woman as to murder her, is sad testimony to the appallingly bad taste the man has in women, while also highlighting his bestial nature that is now so much more difficult to conceal from the public. "big budget" carnal knowledge consultant  Tragic thread, but this bit is funny. |

He needs to respect himself a little and not dabbling into everything he knows nothing about. I could still remember how he deceived me and fellow Nigerians that the Oyo kidnapped victims were pickup already by helicopter and taken away to the North or so....some of his boys even said they have been airlifted out of Nigeria to another Jihad infested country.........cho cho cho no dey make sense after sometimes.....

OredoPikin: What about Nigeria govt reviving the other 4 refineries to create a competition for dangote or even sell it off at a cheap price with a condition that the buyers must develop it to work or risk losing it. Government can't revive those refineries. They've been trying since the Abacha era. Every government since then. Every one of them, Some tried once. Some tried more than once. For a competition for Dangote, we have to wait for Bua and other refineries to come on stream. As for those four, government can sell them as scrap to the Chinese and maybe they can revive them. Still won't justify banning importation by fiat. Let refineries come on stream and let the sector run in such a way that importing becomes unprofitable. When that happens, importation will stop. |

osuofia2: The government have the opportunity advantage to leverage dangote refineries to our gains, they were playing and given license to marketers to import fuel, refused to sell crude to dangote in naira, Dangote was importing crude from abroad to feed his refinery and you want him to sell in naira. Nna go wait tire. Import licenses should be issued. No to monopolies. But they should endeavour to supply Dangote with as much crude as he's willing to uptake from them. Don't think he'll put all his eggs in one basket by closing his import channels though. He will always import crude - that's how business is done. |

nairalanda1: I doubt that ISIS would be supported by Israel, it would be like the chickens in the coop supporting the dog that occasionally comes to kill and eat some of them
Also, ISIS has its roots in islamic extremisim. Which is a process that has been ongoing for centuries. (Like now, Dan fodio would have been called a typical extremist, and there were no JEWS back then).
Look man, people have agency. You don't need a bogeyman to be behind everything in the world. Which is why I stopped believing all the 'Jews, russians, amercians, etc etc are behind this and that'.
Like now, if NIgerian leaders since independence had focused on making our country dependent on manufacturing and export, like America, china, and india, (and yes those white people go like am because ...let's imagine Nigeria was making tv sets for export, cheaper prices, lower prices, good for the white consumer, good for the white politicans who no longer have to worry about expensive things), by now we would have been too developed for people to be running around and shouting school na scam. Infact, Boko, scamming, relgious extremisim, corruption, and a host of other youth problems are the result of an economy that is based on sharing money, rather than making the country productive. ..which in turn promotes the idea of school being a scam...and in turn leads to Lucifer..the OG mastermind, finding work for idle hands to do.
That's why we have all sorts of violent extremeists running around, and all sorts of crime and kindapping, scamming etc etc....because in an economy that is not productive, there are no jobs and people would end up believing that society has sold them a pack of lies. SInce we are not productive enough, there are not enough jobs, leading to the youth to say school is a scam, and then founding groups that do nothing but mindless violence. And they don't need no russian, american, isreali, chinese or even Libyan agent to teach them how to do it.
You guys should stop taking comfort in conspiracy theories and start focusing on making your government make us more productive. Because tomorrow we can beat boko, and another group will rise in its place, because we have not solved the basic problem.
And even if you were right, it still ends up being government laziness...creating the environment for all these nonsnese and for foreign entities to come in and manipulate us. Hence industrialization and productivity.

AMINDA: Running on muslim-muslim ticket will not give him the same level of support that he enjoyed in the North in 2023. On the other hand, his perceived in-roads in the middlebelt risk being reversed when the people are faced with the option of a more balanced ticket in Obi or Atiku. I doubt he'd make a lot of inroads in the middle belt. I think that's why he decided to risk it all on the Muslim North, the largest voting block in the country, once again. He knows that Christian or Muslim won't affect him either way in the SW. He won't carry the SS and SE, but who'll vote for him there will still vote for him. I think the opposition already lost the election though. Their only chance of winning was if Atiku, Obi and Kwankwaso were working on the same ticket. But they chose to go different ways and waste an opportunity. |

Great100000: Lady Who Was Denied US and Canada Visas Multiple Times Opens Up, Displays Document Embassy Gave Her
• A young Nigerian lady drew people's attention to the letter the embassy gave her after her visa was rejected
• She mentioned that she applied for a US visa several times, but her application was rejected despite having complete documents
• She also shared her experience applying to Canada and explained how she finally got her student visa approved
A Nigerian lady who applied for a visa to travel abroad for education four different times has shared her experience after her visa was rejected on four occasions.
In the video, she showed the document she received from the US Embassy in Nigeria after her visa was rejected and revealed what she was told during the interview at the embassy.
Lady shares US, Canada visa rejection experience
She explained in the TikTok video that the experience made her feel bad because she believed there was no reason for her visa to be rejected, as all her documents were complete. Despite that, her application was rejected multiple times.
She applied to both the US and Canada, but her visa applications were still rejected.
@aishadollarz said in the video:
"You see this thing. This blue paper is what they'll give you at the American embassy in Nigeria when they deny your visa. I got two of these. I was denied an American visa twice."
"Why would they deny me? I felt like I had everything."
"I refused to accept defeat. When I got out of the embassy, I told my dad they did not give me the visa, but I'll come back and apply again."
"My family restrategized. They said, 'Let's do Canada this time,' so we used an agent."
After her visa was rejected four different times, she explained that she applied for master's programmes at different universities. Eventually, on her fifth visa application, her visa was approved just weeks before the resumption of academic activities at the university she chose.
She continued:
"I applied to the university. I applied for the master's, and by the time my dad called me and was asking what was the next step, I had already applied."
"I applied to two or three schools in the US, and then I got admission into a US university. I applied for the visa, and the approval came in less than a month."

Health › Re: Before You Wash Another Plate, Read This About Your Kitchen Sponge by JuanDeDios: 6:17pm On Jul 10 |
PharmaTimesng: Most people think expired food or dirty water is the biggest health risk in the kitchen. Surprisingly, scientists say one of the dirtiest items is something many of us use every day, and that is the kitchen sponge.
Researchers have found that used kitchen sponges can harbour billions of bacteria, making them an ideal breeding ground for microorganisms because they are constantly warm, wet, and filled with tiny food particles.
The scary part? A sponge can look and even smell clean while still carrying enough germs to spread bacteria from one plate to another, from cups to spoons, and even to a baby's feeding bowl.
To reduce the risk: • Wash your sponge thoroughly after use. • Squeeze out excess water. • Let it dry completely. • Replace it regularly. • Consider using a dish brush, which dries faster and may harbour fewer bacteria.
Permit me to ask one uncomfortable question: How old is your kitchen sponge? What's a dish brush? ___ Characters added |
