lol but it is exactly what the civil servants will do. They will buy more than 1 bag…lol and sell. The policy doesn’t make sense in the first place. If you create arbitrage people will take advantage. It is that simple

I checked the site on Monday and saw no mention of even the keyword Rice as of Tuesday morning, Nigerian time. But by Wednesday, the program had supposedly been canceled with the above reason given. How many civil servants can you confirm were able to buy that rice?

↪When is the Olympic ending again. Are you being deliberately obtuse? I think you are because, a normal human being can't be this slow to understand.

I see say I just encountered yet another tin can brain... make I jejely waka pass oo!

Slytiger:
So the Olympics will wait till the end of August? Dude, the 2024 Olympics ends on Sunday, the 11th of August, 2024.😂

I don't understand you! The Item is not backlogged meaning that the average delivery time for the particular bicycle is approximately 3 to 4 weeks from the order date. Is part of that do you not understand?

↪ Bismarck Rewane, a popular economist and the Executive Director of Financial Derivatives has alleged that some civil servants bought 50kg bags of rice at N40,000 and resold it at N85,000. Rewane disclosed this on Thursday in an interview with Channels Television According to him, the price of rice which he described as a ‘Parallel market’ increased by 3.62 percent to N85,000 from 83,000 despite the government’s subsidized price of N40,000. “Our team went into the market Yesterday(Wednesday),… The price of rice coincidently went up by 3.62 percent to N85,000. This is happening at the time the federal government is selling rice to public servants at N40,000 per 50-kilogram bag. While in what I can now describe as the parallel market for rice stood at N85,000. What happens is that the civil servant will buy at N40,000 per bag and sell at N85,000, that is inefficient”, he said. This comes as the federal government on Thursday announced the suspension of the sale of 50kg bags of rice to civil servants at N40,000.

These people are a bunch of fraudsters!

This is rice that one Monday this government announced would only be available to civil servants and via a website. I checked the website on that day and searched for rice but came up with no results. Now today Thursday, still unable to purchase the rice, we are told the program has been shut down for some stewpid reasons. This government never planned to send the people rice to begin with. This was all part of Tinubu's many lies/frauds against the Nigerian people.

↪Picture of Hanzo Track bike used by the Australian team below, and how long it takes to deliver if ordered on the 8th of August, 2024.

On the same Hanzo site are other Track bikes that are not back ordered and can be delivered before the end of August and the first week of September for customers in the U.S.

↪But that same bike would be delivered in one week seamlessly if your clueless president requested it for his useless pursuit of phantom investors. 😂 😂

Just imagine!

↪ The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has said supplies from Nigeria-based world’s largest single-train Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals will put pressure on the performance of Europe’s oil industry, especially the Northwest Europe (NWE) Gasoil.
OPEC in its newly released monthly Oil Market Report for June 2024 listed Dangote Refinery among the top Diesel and jet Fuel suppliers that will disrupt Europe’s oil & gas Industry, a development experts forecasted will positively impact the Nigerian economy.
Recall that Standard & Poor Global quoting trading and the ship tracking sources had earlier predicted that Nigeria’s $20 billion Dangote refinery would shake up international crude flows when it reaches full capacity, having already made an impact since coming online in January, trading sources and ship tracking data show.
[b]The OPEC report revealed that “Upside potential for higher production levels from Nigeria’s Dangote refinery, coupled with strong flows from the Middle East and new supplies from the Mexican Olmeca refinery, will likely exert pressure on NWE gasoil performance in the mid-term.”
It stated further “Europe is one of the world’s largest purchasers of refined petroleum products and relied on imports from Asia and the US after the European Union banned the use of Russian diesel in the bloc.

What Nigerian Media says and what OPEC in fact said.

ResidentSnitch:
So what actually did Buhari do if he didn't tackle this particular Almajiri issue?

Even their governors and LG councilmen in the North did absolutely nothing for a whole 8 years of the Buhari regime. Look at the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Muhammed, for example. Today the man threw his name in the hat for the presidency in 2027 but this same man has been governor of Bauchi State for 5 entire years. In all of that time, he has done nearly nothing to reverse the determination of the Educational system in his State.
↪ Bala Muhammed was a Senator for the people of the South Senatorial zone in Bauchi State in the capacity of a senator under the party platform of the All Nigeria Peoples Party [ANPP] from 2007 to 2010. He did nothing to help his people of Bauchi in terms of the actual development of the lives of the people.
↪ Bala Muhammed was appointed FCT Minister by GoodLuck Jonathan, and those who lived in Abuja could attest to his mediocre record even during that time. Attempts to investigate him went south in 2016.
↪ Bala Muhammed was declared Governor of Bauchi in May of 2019 and for 5 whole years, this man has pretty much-done nothing to significantly improve the lives of the almost 1 million children under his administration who are reported to be out of school; he has pretty much allowed the state continue on the path of deterioration while he continues to live large on their wealth.

And this man now dreams of becoming president of Nigeria in 2027. Isn't this Asiwaju Tinubu all over again?

↪ No Jesus died for the whole WORLD but it's conditional, he ONLY died for THOSE that will accept that He died for them, if you refuse to accept or agree that He did not die for you, it's your choice that will mean that you will be judged by the law, BTW, the Jews you claim that he died for didn't accept or agree that He died for them, wasn't it why he TOLD them that
**You will die in your Sina except you agree that I AM HE**
The next thing you are going to say now is that it's the paedophile and murderer and war monger that God sent, but we know better

See how this religious nutjob is trying to convince us that Jesus Christ who is recorded to have said He was sent by His Father only to the Lost sheep of Israel lied; this the same Jesus Christ who declared that in the same way the bronze snake was raised by Moses to the condemned of Israel in the Desert, so He too will be raised to the condemned of Israel. Yet he wants us to believe that it is that same Jesus Christ He considers a liar that he believes in. Abeg, carry your religious brain- damage get off my mention.

sunshineV:
Shey tinubu sins too dey among the sin Jesus died for? cus that one no go make sense o

Jesus Christ died ONLY for the Lost sheep of Israel to make available for them a path to redemption from their sins - Matthew 15 vs 20 - 24 & John 3 vs 14 - 18 & Matthew 7 vs 6. Is Tinubu a descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?

EmekaBlue:
Tuface Idibia song comes to mind- E be like say them wan tell us another story again o. No be small thing o
Nigeria is just like a country they swear for with bad/wicked leadership and the citizens can barely do nothing about it. A great country which has become a shadow of itself like it doesn't even exist again. It's a sad thing though the way many of its citizens are wallowing in acute poverty,just living but not progressing... Warming egusi soup everyday until it turns to draw soup. God help the country

You have it backward! Dem no swear for Nigeria with bad/wicked leadership. Rather, the Nigerian people refuse to let go/cut themselves off from bad/wicked leaders and their lies.

strangest:
Okay so Dangote said something about Malta and they released crude oil to him in naira after Reno said our crude has already been sold out till infinity

E be like say that one na lie say dem release crude oil to Dangote. https://www.nairaland.com/8179742/dangote-refinery-insists-facility-not

treesun:
↪In a statement on Thursday, the Dangote Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Anthony Chiejina, said the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission has not been enforcing the domestic crude supply obligations the way it should.
Chiejina was reacting to reports alleging that the refinery has backtracked by acknowledging that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited supplied about 60 per cent of the 50 million barrels it had lifted. The company was said to have stated this on Wednesday before the Senate committee investigating allegations of sabotage in the oil and gas sector. “To clarify, we have never accused NNPC of not supplying us with crude. Our concern has always been NUPRC’s reluctance to enforce the domestic crude supply obligation and ensure that we receive our full crude requirement from NNPC and the international oil companies.
“For September, our requirement is 15 cargoes, of which NNPC allocated six. Despite appealing to NUPRC, we’ve been unable to secure the remaining cargoes. When we approached IOCs producing in Nigeria, they redirected us to their international trading arms or responded that their cargoes were committed,” Chiejina said.
↪Ahmed said Dangote diesel has a higher sulphur content than the ones imported into the country.
According to him, the refinery had requested the regulator to stop giving import licences to other marketers to be the only fuel supplier in Nigeria.
“We cannot rely heavily on one refinery to feed the nation, because Dangote is requesting that we should suspend or stop importation of all petroleum products, especially AGO and direct all marketers to the refinery, that is not good for the nation in terms of energy security. And that is not good for the market, because of monopoly,” Ahmed stressed.
However, the President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, denied the allegation, wondering how he could be a monopoly when the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited is renovating government-owned refineries with $4bn.
President Bola Tinubu has since ordered the NNPC to sell crude oil to Dangote in naira.

So, Dangote has not in fact gotten the feed from NNPC yet in other news it is claimed that Dangote is already getting 60% of its needs from NNPC. Which kain conflicting reports be this one from the media abeg!

↪ You think they are bikes sold at tejuosho or aba ariara market lol.

They don't need to be sold at those markets for the Olympic team to have a bike available for a potential athlete.

Helpfromabove1:
This excuse is not good enough Why Nigeria was next pick after the disqualification of a nation is because we applied for it So we applied for it without a bike 🚴 in the first place abi ?

Exactly!

Goodvibes007:
↪ You love to argue blindly.

I am sorry but is that woman a Representative of the Toyota Highlander group telling you it in fact takes 6 months for a car to be delivered or are you simply fishing around for the ludicrous to back up a ridiculous claim you made earlier?

Second, a Bicycle is not a car!

Goodvibes007:
↪I don't know how old you are but if you have ever bought a new car, you would know it can take months and even years to deliver.
Yes. I just ordered a Toyota grandhighlander and I was given a date of 8 - 16 months for delivery.

First of all, cars don't take months anymore unless you are stuck in a very remote place on this planet— Domestically built: Can take 6–8 weeks Built overseas: Can take 3 months or longer. Second, a bike is not a car, so dead this nonsense argument of yours.

Switinthemiddle:
i think everyone has the right to their own freewill. As for me i do not see reasons why there should be cassava and its by products shortage if not for the inefficiensies of the govt.

People have their free will yet you are against the freedom of farmers to farm crops of their choice for their best purpose.

adamusuleiman3:
....

See useless excuse abeg!

LibertyRep:
So subsidy is back after all. Why the braggadocio of subsidy is gone? Who knows if the CBN is still defending the naira.

That is very much possible.

Salewa97:
↪The Dangote refinery says since it commenced full operations, it has processed 50 million barrels of crude — with 60 percent of its feedstock coming from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.
Aliyu Suleiman, the group chief strategy officer of Dangote refinery, spoke when he appeared before an ad hoc senate committee on August 7.
The committee, led by Opeyemi Bamidele, the senate majority leader, is probing the alleged importation of substandard petroleum products into the country.
In his presentation, Suleiman said while the NNPC supplied 60 percent of the total processed crude, 20 percent was imported, and 20 percent was purchased. He commended the NNPC for making the supply to the Dangote refinery. “About 60 percent of that came from the NNPC, and we are thankful and grateful to them for their support,” he said. “About 20 percent of that (crude) had to be imported from outside and the other 20 percent we purchased. “Essentially, all we are asking for, and let us be very clear, we are happy to pay fair prices. “We are very happy with the price that they set. The price is like supermarkets and that is what we buy. “But what we buy from others is what we think the regulator should look at and the good thing is that the regulator has published a guideline that will address some of these. “We hope that we will work with the regulator and we will get their support so that the refinery can get 100 percent of its crude from Nigeria and buy the crude from companies that produce it in Nigeria — not from international middlemen.

How can Dangote who only some weeks ago admitted that his company was not in fact at full operation— we were told it was at 45% capacity— now declare that his company has begun full operations?

Who is Cyrus Ademola abeg? What is his beef against the Nigerian people?

Switinthemiddle:
↪Most of y'all critisizing the op havent really taken time to think before posting... Some of you guys are stating that more cassava should be produced or more farming... But the big question is how many of us are willing to go into even low scale or backyard farming.
↪ How will u blame farmers that cant go to their farms for fear of safety and even the little harvest they see they look to sell to the highest bidders i.e the big alcohol companies and the likes.
↪ How many of us are even willing to invest in farming if we cant do it ourselves. The bible says remove the log in your eyes so u can see clearly to remove the speck in others eyes.

1. Huh

2. Well, Democracy is a government of the people(farmers included) by the people(farmers included). How many farmers in Nigeria affected by the problem of insecurity in the nation came out to protest against bad governance this past week?

3. Those who are interested and can will. Simple!

pinkguy:
yes I knew that,but do you know your so called individual choice can lead to insecurity in your mother land

That one na lie! Stop trying to emotionally blackmail(guilt-tripping to be precise) people into doing your bidding. Instead, if food security dey that important to you, go out and farm. There are many ways to farm the needed crops, so get to work abeg!

↪Throwback video of popular Abuja Cross-dresser “Area Mama” allegedly murdered in Abuja last night. Popular Nigerian Crossdresser, Abuja Area Mama, has been reportedly killed by yet-to-be-identified persons in Abuja.
His lifeless body was found by the roadside as he was allegedly beaten to death.
Few months ago she was attacked by an unknown person who stabbed her.

Poor soul! I hope his killer confesses and faces judgment for killing this poor soul. Here's hoping Area Mama's comeback will be in a better country and his gender of choice. 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

↪The Nasarawa Governor Abdullahi Sule wants the north to address its challenges, saying most of the protesters during the #EndBadGovernance demonstrations in the state were Almajiris who knew nothing about the rallies.
The #EndBadGovernance demonstrations which started on August 1 across cities in the country – to press home for a better economy – were largely peaceful initially. But the protests assumed worrying dimensions after looting and destruction in some northern states led to the imposition of curfews.
Governor Sule who is worried that some of the people who protested were young persons said most of them did not know why the processions were taking place. “During this last protest that we had in Lafia, the majority of those that came out on the streets were the Almajiris – some of them five years old, seven years old, nine years old,” the governor said on Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.
“A lot of them didn’t even understand the meaning of the protest. When I spoke with them later, they didn’t even know what they were protesting against.”

Lies, lies and more lies!

pinkguy:
making profit or saving lives please chose wisely

Stop right there abeg! It is an individual choice! You can plant your own to save lives but leave the other farmer who wants to make a profit instead. He is also well in his right to do so.

pinkguy:
↪ if you sell products that in long-run will lead to food insecurity in your country,I don't think it's a nice idea, the farmers may letter loose his profit and his life if care is not taken

If you don't like it sell your own to curb food insecurity naw! Simple as that!

Wisdomkosi:
↪Ebonyi State government has bragged that no man can reject the ongoing one million naira empowerment programme being done by Governor Francis Ogbonnaya Nwifuru if selected after being criticised over the rationale behind the selection of youth to be empowered.
Recall that last week, Mr Nwifuru during an event at Ngbo, in Abakaliki said he will empower 1,300 youth because they didn't join the nationwide protest.
Shortly after the announcement, the government constituted a committee to supervise the empowerment programme which generated mixed reactions.

In a sane clime, this man ought not to be sitting as governor still for making such a statement as the one in bold. No sensible man elected by people who understand that he has the job because the people allow it should utter such a foolish statement, not even as a joke.

pinkguy:
↪how can we increase production when our farmland are no longer safe ,the little we produce are use for production of ethanol by foreign firm and the end product are mostly exported

Make una no dey confuse una selves upandan abeg! Your insecurity problems are for you and your government to deal with. If farmers can farm the product and believe it is beneficial to sell to foreign companies, it is their freedom to do just that.
