gafsal: I bought fuel at NNPC Iperin, ijebu ode,ogun State on March 26, and forgot to collect my opay card,by 29th of March, my account was debited with #80,800, another #20,500 and another #14,400 on 31st of March before I could run to block and collect another card on April 1st. I went to opay office ibadan ( akala) road yesterday and they said they can't do anything but I should go to police station and get court order and so on. Upon the loan from co-op society,I don't know what to do because police will surely ask for money to get to action and get court order amongst other things which may be more than the lost money itself. I'm really sorry to hear this. Since it's an ATM withdrawal and not a transfer, I doubt there's much the bank can do. Pity the police can't be relied on when citizens need them. |

Business › Re: Imported Petrol Cheaper Than Dangote Fuel, Price May Raise Inflation –World Bank by JuanDeDios: 2:31pm On Apr 08 |
RealLordZeus: I always thought this type of news is a propaganda.
Can someone sensible explain to me why imported petrol will be cheaper than the locally refined. 1. Cost of doing business. It's expensive to make anything in Nigeria, because of the cost of doing business - the biggest cost is energy, as you have to rely on diesel-fueled generators instead of grid power. You may also have to spend a lot in bribes and kickbacks to government officials. 2. Quality. Dangote's very modern refinery produces better-quality fuels, better than most imported fuels. In fact, some of the imported fuels are very low-quality cheap stuff. 3. Greed. Most Nigerians try to "hammer" once they see an opportunity. They don't believe in making their money gradually, so they hike prices. |

They are the same people who'll tell you to look up EPHEBOPHILIA when you tell them the PDFile RAYPED 15-year olds.
Also, I BLAME Iran for allowing ANY tanker to cross the Strait at all.
ALLIES or FOES, let everybody SUFFER. Nothing wrong in condemning Russia for attacking a country that has never thrown a pebble at it. Every sane person alive has a responsibility to condemn Russia. USA and Israel stand condemned too for attacking Iran while talks to resolve the issues were ongoing. |

I wouldn't assume a role I wouldn't function effectively. There should be a standard that I use to measure and when they are not getting up to that standard, I should be able to sanction them. Are you saying they have immunity not to be sanctioned? I'm saying not anything about immunity. But I can tell you that simply fining them for poor service won't solve any problem. Before such fines are imposed, there's room for hearing. Hearings that reveal the rot of our infrastructure and stories like ... Boko Haram blew up so and so mast. Our generator was stolen from so and so base station. Power supply went from 18 hrs a day to 0 hrs and our generator overheated, etc. etc. NCC knows our terrain, so it too has to understand.

Many of us has had impulsive bad thought that we will never carry out too but we will never speak it out publicly.
Wike offence is that he spoke it out publicly. He should have know how bad his detractors will twist it and keep quiet Yes, that's his offence. Your dirtiest or most violent thoughts, you keep to yourself. Clearly, it was a figure of speech - Mr Wike didn't mean he would literally shoot Mr Okinbaloye. But it was in bad taste. It's just like when Mr Akiolu, an oba, said he would throw some people into the lagoon if they didn't vote for his candidate. It was a joke in bad taste, and it blew up. People need to be mindful of what they say. Mr Wike should apologise. |

For DJT to say UK and Europe countries will be sorry that they didn't join in with him in the next few months made me arrive at this conclusion that, he is calculative and that 'Epic Fury' was just to weaken opec and give rise to a 'Point Zero energy' . I want to believe USA have their hands on that technology or they just wanna level the middle east and put the remaining in their pocket.
With this, if Iran can be levelled (impossible) USA automatically becomes they new colonial master of the middle east. Now the real supremacy will open to USA Vs China wch I think is a farce. China will also weaken if Iran is levelled.
So let's predict again, USA Vs Russia (expect USSR again) What's Point Zero Energy? |
Foreign Affairs › Re: South Africa Detains, Deports Three Nigerians by JuanDeDios: 12:13pm On Apr 06 |
Lionessza6: No.... there is no law in South Africa that makes it a crime to criticise the government. People criticise the government every day inside South Africa itself.
But entry into a country is not the same thing as freedom of speech inside that country. Foreign nationals do not have an automatic right of entry. Border officials everywhere in the world are allowed to consider behaviour, intent and risk when deciding whether to admit someone.
This is not a “dictatorship vs democracy” issue. Even strong democracies screen travellers based on prior conduct if it raises concerns about public order or social stability.
Also notice something important: if South Africa had acted outside the law, the Nigerian government would have protested. Instead, they advised their own citizens to make sure their applications were accurate and to comply with entry requirements.
So the question is not whether criticism is illegal. The question is whether immigration authorities can make decisions in the public interest at the border. In every sovereign country, including democracies, the answer is yes.
Your own government said " he made inflammatory remarks against the South African government " that says a lot about why they didn't fight against his removal from the country. Yeah. Yeah. I'd've given the same advice too. My people have a proverb that a man who is going to be eaten won't rob oil on himself and go sit near the fire. If you're in the crosshairs and minor discrepancies that would normally be waved can get you into trouble, you make darn well sure that your papers are spotless. The one I'm concerned about and hope to find more information on is the issue of badmouthing the SA government. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: South Africa Detains, Deports Three Nigerians by JuanDeDios: 12:04pm On Apr 06 |
Reference: No matter what international law says a government rises or falls on the will of the people. You only need to have sufficient numbers of people disliking a thing for th government to follow through.
The LGBTQ issue is a classic example of the interplay between people's of different cultures viz government. The West is largely tolerant and uses it's government to project that power. Africa is largely intolerant and no matter the carrots dangles before them, governments in Africa are resistant knowing the problems they face if they remotely consider it despite the fact that just a handful are democratic indeed.
What the SA government is doing has linkages to the sentiment of their people and will certainly not back any international law if this problem worsens. After all the fallout of breaking international laws it whatever will be borne by all citizens not just government or it's operatives.
And yes, Shagari did not act on his own violation. There was deep seated animosity towards Ghanians in the late 70's and early 80's. They were accused of undermining the economy by lowering wages, working harder for less (if you look at it that way) or being more productive and enterprising in business, in the domestic front and in certain.semi smiled and unskilled professions like teaching, craftsmanship, etc. Nigerians wanted them out. I'm not saying governments don't bow to public pressure. I'm saying democratic countries follow the law – and they make only laws that respect human rights. If you act outside the law or pass hateful laws, you end up in human rights violation territory and you find your matter being tabled at UN commissions and every human rights group in the world protesting in front of your embassies. That's what happened with Myanmar. Down there, the people hate the Rohingya - and they know how to go about their hate. So the democratically elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi decided to do what the people want by buying into the hatred, thinking it will gain her more popularity and the army won't overthrow her again. Well, two things happened: she lost her international credibility (We're talking mountain-sized cred here because she's a Noble laureate) and the military still kicked her out. |
