This topic is misleading please
She didn't order their release but only paid for their fines.

There is nowhere it stated that she paid their fine. Let's say/type what we know.

OlujobaSamuel:
I think the ones we know are official lines, not private line, they do switch off at will if call plenty.

Now except the officers themselves are lying, they usually call it their private lines. And people can call at anytime even at midnight (sometimes they might not pick though).

OlujobaSamuel:
you just joined internet abi?
na only HOR we never see oo, those SR be something else, make dem pls help us with all military and paramilitary head number, especially police, vio, frsc, from chief superintendent to the oga patapata.

Most military heads I know don't hide their number. Its easy to get commissioner of police of various states. And also that of the army. But I don't know of the IG and COAS

For your information, what the government did was price modulation to knock off subsidy payment by government. They have simply told the masses to pay. The petroleum sector was not deregulated. If you deregulate, you don't determine prices and so the government can not fix 145 naira. When you deregulate, you leave pricing to market competitors. Shell, Texaco, Chevron, Asda in UK, many other giants will move in to compete. They fix their prices and the masses can choose what price is most suitable for them. A good example is the telcom sector that was fully deregulated. Did you ever here the government telling MTN, Econet or Gloss how much to fix sim cards or charges on call? Because in a deregulated sector every manufacturer charges
based on the factors and modes of production.

For every cause there is an effect.

Any leader who puts his people first thinks of the immediate impact of his policies on the people and commodity prices.

I am #Built2last and I just want to correct your paradigm @op

I thank God people still have sense in this forum. I actually cannot count how many times I've had to post that what the govt did is not deregulation. To think this is a govt that's fighting corruption, when we have a con man (fraudster) at the helm of affair.

The price of petrol cannot reduce! Here's why:

1. Marketers will source their own dollars: Petroleum Minister of State Ibe Kachikwu announced that Marketers will have to source their own dollars to buy PMS. i.e. Dollars will not be sold to them at CBN rate of N200. Nairaland's daily update of exchange rates lets us know that $1 trades for upwards of N300. For those who don't know, PMS is traded internationally in US Dollars. This means Petrol Marketers will have to spend Dollars to buy this product from traders/refineries abroad, and then come and sell in Naira. Having bought Dollars for N300, will they come back and make a loss? You guess is as good as mine.

2. No matter the price of a barrel of oil, the price remains the same: Despite the rise and falls of crude oil prices from time immemorial, the price of petrol, diesel and kerosene has never come up or down in response to the crude oil price! Instead, it slowly and constantly creeps higher every single year. Diesel was deregulated in 2009 and sold for about N90 (See pic below). Today diesel retails for between N125-135 per litre. Why has the price been going up consistently?

Solutions: 1. CBN dollar monopoly must be halted! Surely it benefits many CBN heads from (now) Saint Sanusi to Soludo but you cannot have one body determining who gets a critical business resource, especially in an import dependent economy like Nigeria's. Henry Boyo's writings are instructive here.

2. Deregulation should only occur when there is sufficient and diverse local refining capacity. If multiple companies are able to refine they will be required to sell at a competitive prices, just to stay in business. Why can't you apply the subsidies to local refiners until you have reached refining capacity to meet demand?

3. Remove a regulator like PPPRA setting or suggesting prices: PPPRA also releases 'templates' to guide petroleum prices. This is similar to pure water which sells for N10 regardless of manufacturer. Ask yourself- how come all pure water sells for the same price?? Little known to the public, ATWAP (Association of Table Water Producers) actually sets the price in Nigeria and enforces it! ( Read this and be educated https://www.nairaland.com/418542/pure-water-biz-discuss/20 ) How can there be a free competitive market with marketers forced to retail at 'not above N145?

4. God bless Nigeria!

We already know the science behind why fuel can't be reduced. But you will be surprised to know what the CBN is doing with the little dollar in its possession.

Infact , what we need is a total reversal to 86 or 87 naira. Anything short of that, then this govt is a fraudster. What we need in this country is a leader who is truthful and not a bloody liar like Buhari. Most of the problem he's facing today existed before he came on board, yet he and his APC kept promising trash they can't fulfill.

Peritus:
Who cares. I've learnt not to defend any of these politicians. None of them has the interest of the masses at heart. It's time to see these guys as they really are, whether APC or PDP. All I can say is that that he should be handled according to the law.

The rule of law is the main thing here, but is the govt doing. Are they not suppose to finish investigation before arresting the individual? I am of the opinion that someone out of those that have looted should be made as a scapegoat so others will learn, but not in this way.

As far as my memory recall FFK was not holding any official position in the previous govt, so I will like to know how he managed to get hold of public funds without a public officer involved. And if he got the money through a public officer, wouldn't it be sane that the public officer is paraded alongside him.

bejeiodus:
Falana spoke the absolute truth. The police were very complicit in the attack that took place in Enugu. The GOC of the 82 division must also be disciplined and probably court-marshaled for negligence of duty. It is high time people began to answer for their roles in the abominable attack. There is no better time for state police than now. The attack would have been averted if the Governor could give orders to the police commissioner. The fear of state police becoming a tool in the hands of governors should not stop us from trying it out. We can build necessary safeguards through our laws that will ensure that that does not happen.

From what you wrote here its clear you are not aware Nigeria once practiced state policing. Please go back and study why we moved to central policing. Its very important so you can have a clear view on what you're saying.

stop cracking,read genesis 5:1-2

Now I'm beginning to think you are either a BOT or an idiot. You said "In the old testament the bible didn't take record
of women,the decendants talked about males..
Since it was regarded that woman came from
man"
I just showed you this is not true and you are referring me to Genesis 5. What's in Genesis 5 by the way

"This is the written account of Adam’s
family line.
When God created mankind, he made them in
the likeness of God. He created them male
and female and blessed them. And he named
them “Mankind” when they were created."

That is your genesis 5:1-2. How does that explains that women were irrelevant in the bible.

nnadychuks:
In the old testament the bible didn't take record of women,the decendants talked about males.. Since it was regarded that woman came from man

Hahaha I swear this your comment cracked me up. In the book of Genesis, Moses made it very clear that the only woman existing then was Eve. He even explained how she was created. If there were others we would have been told.

You know what I think......

you can't render help to an epileptic patient during seizure .its contagious

Please don't misinform people on a public forum. Epilepsy is a mental disease and its not contagious. Even if you touch the foam from the victim.

The fact that such a person was recruited into the police already shows how incompetent the system is.

Adebola02:
This millitant guys should blame their leaders for betraying them,they have been on amnesty programe since ages,yet no improvement in the land and communities,i can't believe that they are blaming buhari over alamieyesegha death, he embezzled their money with the likes of Tompolo and Asari Dokubo,but you people see them as heroes. I am in no doubt against oil spillage and pollution in Niger delta,but blowing pipelines and voilence is never the solution, it will further cause havoc on their land.

I m even surprised that you can't read between the lines. If Alamelieyesegha embezzled their money. Why are they fighting for him?

Dumb asses! Drugs do wear off! You dont expect to find traces of drugs months or weeks or even days(depending on the half-life of d particular drug) after taking it.
I believe my Tiwa

It is very possible to test and determine if one is a junkie or not. Remember Tiwa didn't say he took it once and stopped, she practically called him a drug addict (junkie).

Actually the funny part was where they started pushing the new speaker out of her chair in order for the speaker to sit.

In every government, there are untouchables. In Abacha's government, it was Al Mustapha et al. In GEJ's case, it was Diezani et al. Who knows Buhari's untouchables?

If you are still searching for Buhari's untouchables then its either you don't stay in this country or you simply chose to close your eyes to reality.

fiizznation:
Me residing in London or Jupiter is not the issue here. What I want from you is to show me any evidence of Fulani herdsmen roaming around with their cattle in your region. Let's do away with all the names calling here my friend. I believe we are trying to educate one another here.

The fact that you are asking for evidence to show if Fulani herdsmen graze in the southeast shows you know little about Nigeria.

iSlayer:
Very good but a more direct approach is to ban the movement of cattle outrightly

Of course they will ban it, but they have to be seen to have provided a solution before the banning

Smellymouth:
5. Nigerian celebrities need psychological checks from time to time – Suicide is not and will never be the way out but depression is a terrible thing and can drive even the strongest men into an abyss of mental imbalance. Psychologists can help proffer one or two solutions if consulted and Nigerian celebrities need to be oriented on the need to see a doctor or counselor from time to time. Life is beyond wearing shiny necklaces, driving fancy cars and making red carpet appearances. A word is enough for the wise.

If we had a good working health system in Nigeria, everyone should be checked frequently at least once a month . From the police that issues accidental discharge frequently to students that beat up their teachers or bully their mates to crazy reckless danfo drivers to our market women. I tell you everyone is crazy until you are certified by an expert. How many Psychiatric hospitals do you see around you? In Nigeria, it is considered an insult when you tell a well dressed looking individual that he needs to visit the psychiatric hospital. Hence we have only few hospitals and it is only when your health problems totally deteriorate, such that one now walks na.ked on the street that you are taken to the psychiatric hospital. May God help us all

Quakertellicus1:
If you can fund it....and if you can deal with the tribalism in multi-tribal states.

And dealing with this herdsmen problem...is going to require state of the art tech and equipment.Which means billions of naira.Which most states do not have.

For now...the Nigeria Police and the Army would have to sort things out.

What we need is decentralized policing system, not state police. Anyone calling for state police should go back and read the history of Nigeria. It will not only compound our problem as a country but it will not solve the current crisis

The reason why it's so is beacsue in most African Countries (let's say 90%) you hardly see the crème de la crème of the society go to prison. If any big individual commits a lockable offense, they will twist the law in most African countries to favour them.
Using Nigeria as a case study; if the politicians for example that have been embezzling Millions, Billions and Trillions for decades have been going to Prison after being found guilty, the Prisons will be much more better because most of them would have done something about the Prisons when they are in Power becasue they don't know what tomorrow holds if found guilty of any lockable offense.

God help us......

Obasanjo was in Nigeria prison. From there he immediately became the President yet he couldn't do anything about a place he came out from. I personally know some other top men although not so popular who have been there. The problem is beyond what we know. Have you ever seen or heard any mainstream media outlet reporting the anything that has to do with prison

I'm neither for PDP nor APC. All I know is that someone should be used as a scapegoat, whether witch-hunt or wizard-hunt. Saraki is not innocent.
