Catalysttt:Succinctly stated. The state Governor's have to get down to work by converting more of these food trucks and trailers to use CNG so they can charge less on transportation and haulage and ALSO introduce price control measures with punishments meted to offenders who increase prices arbitrarily after the diffusion of CNG fuel in major cities of Nigeria because some Nigerians are very greedy and like to game the system to make excessive illegal profits. It is these same people that would point fingers online and offline at some of those alleged politicians while they themselves are rotten with greed. If you haven't read this thread link BELOW, you can go through it for a summary of resources on the CNG project by the OP who is one of our veteran encyclopedias on NL: =>https://www.nairaland.com/8238749/hyundai-nigeria-moves-ease-transport Thanks for the deep insights and submissions on your thread.

Catalysttt:Indeed... Thank you. I must commend your courage in bluntly exposing these inefficiencies and greed in the food distribution chain on interstate routes leading to the South of Nigeria. I read a post here on NL a few months ago that Niger State launched some CNG buses, and Lagos State is gearing up to launch CNG and electric buses too but I wonder why there is NO emphasis on the kitting of the food trucks and trailers with CNG kits so that these big vehicles can become hybrids with the ability to use both CNG (methane) and PMS (gasoline)? The emphasis has been on CNG conversation for buses and cars which are NOT enough to drive down hyperinflation. The cost of food and other items in especially the urban centers in the South of Nigeria have to drop massively so that the folks their can gain relief from high cost of drugs, food, transportation to and from work, etc. This is indeed an opportunity for these guys in government to rapidly move in and make things better for Nigeria so that the Middle East military tensions between Israel and others will NOT further destabilize Nigeria with more spikes in crude oil prices and pump prices of PMS where people would likely pay as high as N2000 or more per liter. PMS from Dangote Petrochemical Refinery and other refineries can then be exported to earn foreign exchange to shore up the value of the Nigerian local currency. |

Catalysttt:If those food delivery trucks and trailers in the uploaded image and elsewhere have dual CNG-gasoline hybrid fuel installed in them, that would instantly drive the cost of haulage and food sold in the markets down. Nigeria is more if a gas-producing country than a crude oil country because of the massive gas reserves which have more value in USD than the fast-depleting crude oil reserves. With the geopolitical tensions and war between the Israeli on one hand and Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Iran on the other hand, if things escalate further and Israel massively bombs Iran as planned, the international price per barrel of crude oil will further rise thereby causing a massive spike in the pump price in many countries and also make absolute nonsense of the cost of feeding and transportation that folks in Nigeria are currently complaining about. A rapid and massive deployment of CNG (methane) fuel [which is far cheaper than PMS at N200 to N230 per standard cubic feet of CNG from NNPC and NIPCO CNG refill stations] and CNG conversion kits or outrightly purchase already factory-produced large CNG trucks and buses by the states such as Niger, Kano, Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Delta, Edo, Imo, Rivers, etc, and the central government is what would prevent the spread of more hyperinflation thereby making nonsense of the so-called minimum wage that is being implemented by some states. The hyperinflation though is LARGELY a mix of artificial inflation due to greed and speculations, illegal toll collection by revenue agents on interstate routes, and illegal checkpoints where some security agents collect bribes. These have gone on unchecked for years since the days of the brutal military dictatorships in Nigeria, and have to be tackled immediately by the governments at all levels in order to remove these food distribution inefficiencies on interstate routes. Period. |

OLAADEGBU:If these kinds of heavy rains begin to fall in the Sahara desert and the Sahel, those criminal herders or pastoralists who have clashed with agriculturists and farmers for decades because of the pressure for arable lands would CEASE to migrate illegally from Niger, Mali, Mauretania, Cameroon, etc, into countries like Nigeria, Benin Republic, etc, to forment trouble and stay put in their countries to rear their cattle for meat, leather, and milk.

| Politics › Re: British High Commissioner Issues Statement On Yoruba Nation Petition by Konquest: 6:50pm On Oct 15, 2024*. Modified: 7:20pm On Oct 15, 2024 |
LifestyleTonite:I posted on this Website yesterday that the British government would NOT accept any letter or petition for the breakup of Nigeria from Sunday Igboho easily like that as that would put a dent on their British colonial experience in Nigeria. The better option would be to align peacefully with other ethnicities with the United Nations as a witness, to conduct a referendum and go the way of the old India which is now known as India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The former Czechoslovakia and USSR are also great examples of countries that split peacefully into smaller and more manageable countries. If regionalism isn't gonna be an option, then going the way of the old India, Czechoslovakia and USSR will be a better option within the next 10 years because there are inherent fissures within the Nigerian state because of some sickening ethnic rivalries and crab mentality which have slowed down the economic growth of each regional space for decades with military dictatorships being a major culprit in the institutionalized fragmentation and corruption in Nigeria. I have absolutely NO doubt that every major part of Nigeria would begin to work again in the areas of STEM education, robust economies, and technological advancements once Nigeria is UNBUNDLED into about 9 new countries that are mono-ethnic OR partly multi-ethnic by my estimate within the next 10 years. For instance, I have analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the Yoruba folks when it comes to be a country of their own (which would be slightly bigger than Sierra Leone but successful) and the strong indices is that they would succeed based off of the material resources they have such as oil and gas, the second largest bitumen reserves in the whole world after Canada, gold deposits, a robust population of over 50 million with a strong Diaspora base in major population centers of the world such as the United States, UK, Canada, France, Germany, etc, with Yoruba folks doing big things in the finance, medicine, the STEM fields and technology space just to name a few which are needed for leapfrogging any country into the AI and space age. Same thing for other Nigerian ethnicities and their potentials that I have studied for many years now. West Africa will end up being like the Asian Tiger regional space due to some form of healthy competition by newer countries to NOT be left behind like how other regions in the North and East in the 1950s and early 1960s to take a cue from what the iconic lawyer and leader of the Action Group party in the Old Western Region Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN and his Action Group team did by being the FIRST to set up the massive Industrial Estates of Ilupeju, Ikeja, Iganmu, Oluyole industrial estates in Ibadan, then built the then tallest skyscrapers called Cocoa House in Ibadan and Western House on Lagos Island, boosted education, the FIRST TV station, and sent promising students on regional scholarships to the prestigious and elite university called London School of Economics and Political Science. With the rise in strong anti-immigration in many countries that Nigerians traditionally relocate to, it's very important to start thinking inwards about stopping the drift. Nobody respects you in the international community if you come from any country that is perceived as a country of significant underachievers. Period. |

Ashkenazi Jews come from Eastern Europe, Germany, and France, while Sephardic Jews are from Spain, Portugal, Africa, and the Middle East. Most Jews in America are Ashkenazi because of the large population of German and Eastern European Jewish immigrants who arrived in the U.S. between the 1850s and the 1900s. =>https://scalar.usc.edu/hc/iranian-jews-in-los-angeles/stephen-s-wise-temple-ashkenazi-vs-sephardic =>https://www.jewfaq.org/ashkenazic_and_sephardic History Answer - Where are the Khazars Now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYa9lPu60xY?si=WshnYGjkxnfnCIHb Vector Historia • Apr 12 2019 The Khazars were a semi-nomadic Turkic people with a confederation of Turkic-speaking tribes that in the late 6th century CE established a major commercial empire covering the southeastern section of modern European Russia. The Khazars created what for its duration was the most powerful polity to emerge from the break-up of the Western Turkic Khaganate. Astride a major artery of commerce between Eastern Europe and Southwestern Asia, Khazaria became one of the foremost trading emporia of the medieval world, commanding the western marches of the Silk Road and playing a key commercial role as a crossroad between China, the Middle East and Kievan Rus'. For some three centuries (c. 650–965) the Khazars dominated the vast area extending from the Volga-Don steppes to the eastern Crimea and the northern Caucasus. Between 965 and 969, the empire began to descend. The Kievan Rus' ruler Sviatoslav I of Kiev conquered the capital Atil and destroyed the Khazar state. But did the Khazar kingdom wholly succumb to Kievan Rus campaign along with its people? That's the question we tried to answer in this video. |

Ishilove:Indeed @Ishilove, "forever young and sexy" is the name of the game. .Whoa! Your last paragraph is a serious assertion from you Ishilove. Tbh, I won't fully doubt you here because of your wealth of experience (and native intelligence) as a "young" female who has to go to the regular markets or farmers market to get food items for the family. As a near-octogenarian, my father has had to spend far much more on the regular specialized drugs that he used to buy cheaply as of early 2023. Imagine how other senior citizens without biological children who are well-off or in the Diaspora to prop them up as-and-when-due with USD or Pounds Sterling remittances will have to manage at this time of global hyperinflation. I'm aware that the Nigerian government has totally removed import duties on raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry, yet, the costs of drugs have increased. I think price control has to be introduced so that these retailers don't arbitrarily increase prices anyhow. With the ongoing military tensions between Israel on one hand and Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran on the other hand in the Middle East, if Israel massively attacks Iran (which itself is a military power), crude oil prices will rise sharply again and the expensive pump price per liter of PMS (gasoline) the folks in Naija are currently complaining about will keep rising thereby scattering food and transportation projections for most families. The CNG (methane) fuel is the ONLY saving grace as the cheapest fuel because it costs between N200 to N230 per standard cubic feet at NNPC and NIPCO CNG mega stations which is FAR cheaper than PMS. Since May 30, 2024, the NNPC opened some CNG refill stations in Lagos and Abuja with more to come. I saw videos and read online from already satisfied car owners and truck drivers who use dual CNG and PMS cars and trucks that they are NOW spending FAR less on fueling their cars and trucks. If let's say Lagos, Edo, Delta, Kano, Imo, and Ogun State goverments can ensure that more CNG-based dual fuel haulage trucks and big buses are launched ASAP, it would help in driving the cost of transportation, drugs and food sold in the markets and stores down with reduced hyperinflation which is the primary aim of the Federal Government's Presidential CNG project that is currently offering free CNG conversation kits to transporters. Nigeria has far more bitumen reserves (in the Ondo, Edo, Ogun, and Lagos States bitumen belt) and even far more gas reserves in USD value than the crude oil everyone is making a noise about for PMS production from the refineries. So, a gas-based economy is the ultimate way to go. CNG in cylinders placed in car booths are NOT explosive like LPG (cooking gas) because it is lighter than air so, it diffuses quickly into the air unlike LPG which is more explosive which is why gas cylinders are kept outside the kitchen area. Enjoy the rest of your day. Ciao.  1 Like 1 Share |
