ElSudani:


This is actually what happened. No deal has been signed. The government should be more careful about what information they provide to the public.
There are morons in the media who are ready to spin this and use it to attack the government.

Who spinned it? The govt cooked up $600m out of the blue and went to town with it but your blaming the media for doing their job?
Plsss man

It seems even Peter Obi dey learn where Tinubu dey lie

EreluRoz:
He's the worst minister in this our regime. Honestly I'm not happy with some of asiwaju's appointees

Who is petroleum minister

He should be sacked and kept far away from govt

Islamisation

Meaningless suspension
How does that affect his seat as a member?

IPIGSRSHALLOW:

My moniker is a true reflection of the delusional retar@ded imb@cile often shallow IPOB retards. If it bothers you, then you can do the needful by proceeding to the 3rd mainland bridge.
Get lost.

And the best thing a mind educated in one of the best journalism schools in the world could think of to counter delusions and mental retardation is to take on the identity of a mindless online troll to kids who weren't born when you were a student?

I guess it's safe to say the claim of education is a wasted one

Who biscuit epping? Biscuit lead to health issues like diabetes. We're better off without them. Besides, they couldn't innovate so they died~ Zombies

IPIGSRSHALLOW:

Kid, I graduated from one of the top journalism schools in the world before you were even born. That's what we call sensational headline.
He was referring to the inability to continue without rate increase, not a threat as the headline suggests.

And the best you could make of your education is to become an online troll? Just look at your moniker!!

During interviews with federal agents, the boy allegedly said Gray had given him MouthAction but they didn’t have intercourse so he could “stay pure,” according to the documents.

Chai!! Isn't it every teenage boy's fantasy to have his hot teacher suck his dick with same mouth she uses to teach him.

Boy is living the life men...

And which one is mouthaction? Call blõw job for what it is

jmoore:


Una go open mouth waaa! Do you know how much MTN pays as tax to government from the profit they made? If they are making a loss, how much do you think they will pay as tax?

Loss = no tax

30% of profit is paid as company income tax for big companies like MTN.

Thanx for educating the dumb dude

Imagine making it seem as if the profits they made previously must fell on them from the sky and they never worked for it.
A company loses 500bn due to no fault of theirs and his response is to mock them. If they decide to kick their wound by sacking staff, folks like him will still come out to call them names.

FreeStuffsNG:
Revenue increased very significantly which proves that there business is still booming in Nigeria. This is forex devaluation challenges because most of the inputs are imported.

They should look at possibility of import substitution and govt can please give them some incentives on such import substitution.

There is now stability in the forex market so MTN should feel reduced pressure from forex volatility in subsequent quarters.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

You are right that revenue increased but what is depressing is such massive revenue not worth more than tissue paper because of naira depreciation. The enemies of Nigeria need to lose fast fast o

Amazing

yarimo:
The EFCC chairman doesn't know anything about the court and his job. He should resign immediately

So you're actually a Yahaya Bello minion?
Now I understand your predicament better

nairalanda1:


Well, things do cost a lot of cash.

And as the experts say, cost reflective tarrifs or no power.

Good night

No expert said that

I challenge you to quote any expert that proffered cost reflective tarrifs as solution to power supply issues

flipdat:

in what way

Culture and Tourism

flipdat:

halloween is actually fun

So is masquerade

nairalanda1:


Well, if calling someone a liar is not abusive, what is?

Good evening. Have a calm night. And don't take this site, or me or anyone, serious. Blood pressure, y'know...it can send thee to the other side...

I don't want you ascending to another plane yet.

calling things for what it is can't be termed an insult. I proved it that you're lying.


Blood pressure ko... blood temperature ni

If you don't want to be taken seriously go to the jokes section

nairalanda1:


Oga, I'm not having any more discussion with you.

You have won for today. As for me, things cost money. If we want good power supply, we have to charge cost reflective tarrifs

We can agree to disagree here.

Good evening. If you like, keep on being abusive. That is why I don't like discussing with you.


Modified

One more thing....it does not matter at the end what happens in other countries....NIgerian power sector needs to be run profitably to supply us with power 24/7. If it means high tarrif, so be it. You can yell at me and call me liar, but this one is true.

The experts even say it

Toodles.

Abusive? Can you point out the abuse?
It seems hiding under the excuse of being insulted is the latest modus operandi of the children of the corn these days.

flipdat:
Masquerades in 2024? We are doomed

What's wrong with masquerade
I'm sure you don't have same thoughts towards Halloween

emkz:


Run along now. We are not at a level to exchange words.

Lol. Indeed.

Hypocrite. Just eat your corn in peace 🌽

nairalanda1:


And that was an oddity.

And they have better power access than Nigeria does.

Calm down, old man.

Oddity??

And what do you mean by pwr access? Does Ivory Coast have more population and land mass than Nigeria? Do they have a more robust power mix?

nairalanda1:


Well, VIetnam is a state run concern. And they have a lower populaton than we do. Nigeria has privatised power since 2013...and the right thing should have been to let them set their prices...but no.

As for examples..let's use Ivory coast. It used to be like Nigeria with even grid collapsing...until 1993, when they privatised power, and even additionally let the sector set its prices.

NO power cuts since 1993, no problems with grid collapse.

As for Vietnam


SO, issues

Must you tell lies? Even during afcon, Cote D'Ivoire had power outage

emkz:


When someone dives into the realm of unprovoked insults, it is an indication of his own personal limitations and an admission that he sees the person he is insulting as superior to him. Hardly will a person insult someone he feels he is superior to, except it is a response to a direct insult.

I will not insult you because you are not worth us exchanging insults. But just to correct some notions. I am not in competition with anyone over who is more qualified or "holier than thou" to criticize anyone. I leave such things to people like you.

If you have any minister you want to call out, call him out. The sky is big enough to accommodate all birds.

Where did I insult you? Exposing your hypocrisy is an insult?
I insist you're an hypocrite for attempt to divert attention from the crux of Suswam's message to Suswam himself in contradiction of your earlier admonition to call wrong for what it is regardless of who is at the receiving end.

nairalanda1:


Sorry for quoting you again.

Telephony is an expensive thing. When GSM came here, it was expensive. Very much so. MY first sim in 2004, and it took me two years to make the plunge...cost me N7000. Ntel. I did not even get MTN till 2007..when the price had dropped to make it make sense.

Yet because government let there be free market, it made sense for investment to flow into GSM, and for us to go into a point where phones went from being for the very rich...to even poor people having phones.

That is how the free market works.

Why has free markets not brought down the price of fuel in Ghana and Niger republic? Why has more investments and jobs not flown into those countries? Last I checked, Niger still has a single refinery with a capacity not even close to that of Dangote.
You people run to gsm whenever you want to make case for free market but run away from diesel and kerosene that have been deregulated since 2011 yet no investment or jobs in that sector. How com? Tell us about that too

Meanwhile the minister of petroleum is gallivanting all over the world as if nothing is happening.

Sack the minister of petroleum now!!

emkz:


You can take a look at this thread and see what I said about underperforming ministers:

https://www.nairaland.com/8076360/tinubu-may-sack-replace-some

You can also call out any minister you want to call out and explain his limitations or proffer suggestions on improvement.

There is no you versus me, but as citizens, our common interest ought to be the advancement of our country. You also have a voice: use it. If it is not loud enough, we come together to amplify it so the message gets to those it should.

Why I called Suswam out is that he had his chance as governor and blew it. Even Peter Obi had his chance and blew it. Also Atiku had his chance as vice president. What is the verdict? So when I hear them pontificating emergency political morality as latter-day saints of probity in leadership, it is irksome.

Elections are over. Time to proffer solutions if we have them. If the country fails, it would affect all of us. If it succeeds, it is our collective success.

Guess what? Those who worked really hard to deliver for their people as politicians offer solutions in the quiet of their networks.

Are you now saying it's only those who have never "blew their chance" that can call out wrong? Are you saying you're more qualified than Suswam, Obi or Atiku to criticise, appraise or advice govt appointees? Can you explain what makes you better your Holiness?
I also find your hypocrisy amazing. On the thread where you pontificated on the need to call out wrong, you never laid a proviso probably because it did not suit your particular bias then. But here on this thread, you have adopted the "He who is without sin" posture. Double-faced hypocrisy!!
Lastly, the minister that most deserves to be called out, condemned and asked to resign is the minister of petroleum under whose supervision, we have had about the lowest oil output, failed subsidy removal, stalled refinery rehabilitation and now fuel scarcity. That's the worst performing minister of this administration and deserves an outright sack and be kept far away from any govt circle!!

emkz:
Atiku, how many times has Daniel Bwala visited you since you lost elections?

Let me remind you of the advise I gave you during your birthday before Daniel Bwala ported:

You mixed it up
I think Tinubu has always liked Bwala
I don't think Bwala will have access to Tinubu if he is not wanted by Tinubu

Cmanforall:


Is this true?

Where's the meatpie?

Why are other buyers not seen eating or holding meatpie?

Is the person recording trying to spoil another man's business?

There could be Meatpie there for sale, but was it compulsory?

Is the guy looking for content?

Many questions to confirm this incidence.

Can any Nairalander confirm the story?

The only quote with common sense
The others ranting did not even watch the video before mounting the rostrum to pontificate.
This is how APC scammed them with noise of Jonathan is corrupt

emkz:


Wow, you remember what I said!

I am saying Suswam must spread his tentacles and also admit his own incompetence. I stand by my earlier stance that you must call wrong wrong even if your father (or yourself) does it.

Oya call wrong wrong in the case of the ministers and stop diverting to Suswam who is not a minister.
The Minister of Petroleum for example is quiet in the face of the biting fuel scarcity!! Call him out and stop being an hypocrite!!

emkz:
Thank you Gabriel Suswam for your observations.

Now tell us how competent you were as Benue governor for 8 years. Let us start from there.

I thought you said to always call out wrong even if it is done by your own father. Why the change of stance now to attack the messenger?
Are you not an hypocrite like this?
