my sister escaped death today from accidental discharge by a Prison warden who took prisoners to court. The officer was said to have cucked his gun when the prisoners were alighting from their black maria only to suddenly hear a gun shot.
The bullet got stuck in the court building block an inch beside my sister's head.

Omo. Thank God for the safety of your sister.

May we and our loved ones not be victim of accidental discharge.

You no well 😁😁

Abi wetin he wan make i talk again?

This is exactly how CNG will end. Will be cheap initially then price will rise. I even hear some stations in lagos sell for almost double of what some others are selling. Just like what we've been going through with PMS.

You dey whine Nigerians? They will always look for ways to make quick bucks of their own.

Theflint1:
CNG doesn't catch fire, it simply explodes.

Ok thanks.

GloriousGbola:
It is 1200 per kg. Please buy direct from nipco/Mobil.

It has been fluctuating small. 1180, 1230.

We dont have nipco around and Mobil is a bit far me. I bought it 1350 the last time i bought it and that was the cheapest around. Others were selling 1400

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Na him Volvo never change all their models to CNG?

Safer indeed

It is cheaper, and that should be the only selling point. [/color]

Its cheaper for Nigeria because we have abundance of gas. Its not necessarily cheaper for most of the developed world. The difference between fuel and Cng price isn't worth the stress of building the infrastructure to service it.

Itsrm:
Have you heard of drug mix? I just recently heard it as well.

When people fall sick these days, they go to the chemist and buy mix.

Two tablets of paracetamol, one tablet of antibiotics and one tablet of antimalaria.

After two or three days when they get some more money, they visit again to buy another mix. Chai

My friend in Abeokuta told me they no longer cook with gas

I asked what they use, he said charcoal stove. I said but you still have to buy the charcoal which is now expensive. He said I should be playing. That they get wood from bushes and make their own charcoal

My brother, this kind hardship, I never see before

Gas is currently 1350 per liter. Anybody wey him cooking gas finish for this period go know wetin hit them.

Ballzproblem2:
For this country way hot you wan drive car with gas for boot

CNG is actually more safer than Petrol. The chances of your petrol car catching fire is higher than the CNG catching fire.

iamoyindamola:
How will they defend themselves against real criminals
Unless police or soldiers are with them I feel they should allow them carry arms

Well you have a point but i just don't generally trust Nigerians with guns.

Their job is to check papers and ensure the safety of road users right? I dont think they should bear arm tbh.

BlueRayDick:
Na big whining dem dey whine us.

Aside companies and few private individuals, majority of Nigerians don't buy new vehicles simple because they can't afford it. Only people that have ajeseku will cough out 950k to convert vehicle to CNG when u are not even sure if the vehicle will develop complications after conversion.

Yes. Most people go for second hand cars because its cheaper when you compare it to new ones made in Nigeria.

Person dey complain about high cost of fuel, you say make he go convert to CNG. He reach there them say make he bring 1.2m. Na to dey laugh dey go house back.

iamoyindamola:
Why

We never deal with Police and Civil defense finish, you wan add FRSC.

I don't trust Nigerians with gun

izzou:
[color=royalblue]FRSC to start bearing arms



So at what point is he supposed to shoot?[/color]

The house of reps that pass the bill dey craze. I hope the President will veto it.

IPMAN says their money is with NNPC.
They paid for product but nnpc said there's a new price so they have to pay the differential first 😂😂😂😂

All of them dey craze. Na NNPC return their money nah.

seankafor:
lol, what a flimsy reason?

So because of fear of loss of job, we shouldn't embrace advanced techs and robotics

What a myopic thinking 🤔

Didn't you learn about adaptation in ecology?

The displaced mechanics, drivers et all, make Dem go learn coding and robotics naa

How many people wan learn coding and robotics? Make Wasiu the semi illiterate auto mechanic go learn coding and robotics?

Segedinho:
Baba no need for shame......

Men that openly says the truth irrespective of their prior stances are the real men...

I knew Tinubu would be bad but I never for once expected it to be this devilish. ....I rarely posts cos na so so anger full my belle whenever I see small "hope" n "tunnel" prophecies......

Your pain isn't exclusively urs,it is almost everyone.....


Things are extremely worse and I am in awe how Nigerians are maneuvering ..

Remi want us to work harder.....like wtf.

It crazy mehn.

MEND001:
Thunder would fire u first, for the bringing Tinubu on Nigerians.

I agree.

BlueRayDick:
Forget the insult part , this guy raised a very valid question.

Since CNG as a fuel is cheap worldwide , why are car manufacturers not mass producing it ?

Even as India large population big reach , 13% of the vehicles sold in 2023 are CNG powered .

Or maybe those call seller can start importing CNG cars also. I doubt average Nigerians can afford to buy new cars produced in Nigeria without any financing structures.

FG say make people convert to CNG as its cheaper but it cost from around 950k upward for the conversion kit.

Come be like say na whine them dey whine us

BlueRayDick:
But why can’t Dangote just come out and say “ I will be selling PMS at N750 to IPMAN o” and let everybody know that’s the price he’s selling , wwatch out for the selling price from IPMAN and let’s all know that subsidy is gone completely ?

The funny thing is NNPC is still interested in importation of PMS. The whole thing is just crazy . Today Dangote will be at loggerheads with NNPC fighting them for misrepresenting facts and the next tomorrow Dangote is guarding the price he sold to them like it’s a national security secret.

Continuing to keep Kyari as NNPC GMD is an indictment on Tinubu and it shows he’s not ready to solve any problem in the oil and gas sector . There’s no justification whatsoever for Kyari to still be the GMD.

I’m annoyed that for 8 years of Buhari we kept hearing the PHC refinery will soon be up and running . Tinubu is nearing 2 years anniversary and it’s still same story . I can bet with 100% confidence that if the refinery is sold , the private investors will do a TAM and the refinery will be working within the timeline set for its re-opening . The staff will even be absorbed by the new management , just that they will now be made to work for every Naira they earn and not the old way of getting paid doing absolutely nothing .

Dangote knows what he is doing, NNPC and IPMAN also know what they are doing.

Na the masses them dey play

BlueRayDick:
Dangote really carried a lot of Nigerians handicap , although I have never believed his entrant into the oil and gas market will change our oil industry woes .

At best , Dangote’s refinery will generate income for the federal government in terms of remittances as a business entity ; but definitely not going to do the common man much favors . If u are lucky enough to be qualified and get a job as an employee there , good for u. Dangote will never sell cheap fuel except he gets subsidized by the FG.

I think one major thing should be clear by now ; subsidy was never the issue . What is called “subsidy scam” was obviously the brain child of NNPC management , unscrupulous marketers only keyed into it. The fact that NNPC has refused to be transparent up till this moment definitely suggests they were the ones behind all those inflation of subsidy figures. Na dem Dey run am , oil marketers/importers just joined them in chopping the largesse .

Just look at NNPC buying from Dangote , refusing to sell to IPMAN at reasonable price but want to add their own profit margin despite doing absolutely nothing. Later when it’s time to account for all the funds and remit to federation account na stories go follow . House of assembly will do hearing and all, but that’s where it stops.

Na those wey dey trust Dangote i dey laugh. ( OasisX suppose dey front row dey collect cane ) Dangote will always prioritize his profit margin over anything. The only good thing about the refinery is that we will finally be able to know our daily fuel consumption as a nation as Dangote has implemented a metering system to track their deliveries.

Tbh i don't know why Kyari is still NNPCL GCEO. The failure to even get the PH refinery working after like 5 different announcement is enough for sack not to talk of the corruption in that organization.

Your last paragraph, i thought i read it few days ago that Dangote refinery is free to sell fuel to any marketer that want to buy, NNPC is no longer the sole buyer from Dangote. Let IPMAN go and deal with Dangote directly.

BlueRayDick:
😂

Who will buy a country where we have armed bandits , Boko haram terrorists , unknown gunmen, etc ?

The person go buy trouble

But you want make investors carry money come do onshore exploration.

Dey play.

BlueRayDick:
You are one of the few people who was objective enough to acknowledge that the haphazard subsidy removal was disaster waiting to happen.

Nowadays, grown up adults literally lap themselves in public transport just to save cost due to the high cost of transportation . Food prices keep soaring , electricity is expensive , fuel is expensive ; SMEs are literally dying off .

How do u even advise a young school leaver not to venture into Yahoo-Yahoo? Artisans are being seeing any job to do. Mechanics don’t get to repair vehicles like they used to because people have stopped using their cars as much as they used to( Most people use their cars lightly on weekends ). Artisans like electricians , aluminum window guys , bricklayers , etc are hardly getting jobs because nowadays people are hardly spending money on building projects.

People are spending majority part of their income on feeding and transportation now. It’s looking like we are in a dark place and the current leadership don’t know what to do to bring on the light other than to just keep promising false hope of “Tomorrow go better “

Its crazy mehn. every single thing is expensive, nothing is left out. To buy something to eat now na war. You no even fit say you dey hungry make you quickly enter buka chop again because things are expensive, i can't even blame them, na wetin them buy them go sell.

I've never been angry and disappointed in a politician as i am of Tinubu. the pontification that subsidy removal is bla bla bla and hope is bla bla bla just dey annoy me anytime i hear ham. Ok fine you've removed subsidy, is the common sense thing to do not to speed up whatever plan they have to rejig the economy? The only good thing i have seen this government do is the school loan. Every other thing is rice and rice as if rice is the only problem we have in the country.

I expected him to have sack most of his cabinet members by now. Carry incompetent people full almost all the ministry, apart from maybe the minister of interior, foreign affairs and health, the rest i no know wetin them dey do. Even Wale Edun has been overwhelming as Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the economy. Maybe they need to bring someone else in or another person to support him.

Those of us out of jobs na only through God we dey survive, those that are employed sef are loosing their jobs at an alarming rate as business close down. If say i no vote for Tinubu, he for no dey pain me the way it's paining me. Na shame no dey make me come here frequently again sef.

BlueRayDick:
The difficult terrain of the Niger Delta makes it almost impossible to stop bunkering . Even with the combination of Tompolo’s Tatiana and Nigerian Military , it’s quite difficult to police our oil facilities adequately .

Also , corruption and the level of injustice we have in this country makes it difficult to stop people from engaging in bunkering . There’s a general perception in the Niger delta that the Niger Delta oil is being used to fund the lifestyle of elite in different parts of the country . Like a Niger Deltan feels it’s unfair Nigerians from other parts of the coubtry get to one oil blocks , live large while their own region where the oil is being explored is left in a bad shape.

I believe that’s what pushed some people into bunkering . The fact that the security agencies charged with safeguarding those pipelines are equally corrupt is a major issue . Naval personnel posted for security operations in the Niger Delta are automatically seen as potential millionaires just like customs assigned to border patrol duties .

While u are right that IOC’s are moving to cleaner source of energy , I believe if the price is right some Asian investors will still be willing to invest in drilling and exploration of our untapped crude

Make them just sell this country for Alibaba make them lock gate. make everybody find their square root.

Also i think they are intentionally keeping the price of dollar/Naira as it is because they are trying to use it to meet the revenue shortfalls in Naira.

If the price of dollar goes down, so should the price of fuel and every other thing that's affected directly or indirectly by the dollar but they will rather allow crippling inflation, erode people purchasing power and dump even more people into poverty just to meet up with revenue in Naira that we don't even know what they are doing with it.

What a penkelemesi.

Dangote that was jumping from one TV station to another and releasing press release everyday, how far now. They announced oil sale to him in Naira and they increased the price of fuel again. Shey Dangote told us that his fuel is cheaper than the one they were importing.

Na thunder go fire Dangote for deceiving Nigerians and double thunder fire Kyari for promising the start of PH refinery every 3 months with no result in sight. Triple thunder fire Tinubu for not sacking Kyari since.

Nonsense.

BlueRayDick:
At this point, celebrating investors building more refineries doesn’t even make any sense to me.

Our major issue as of today is depletion in the level of our crude production. We have enough crude on the under the ground that is not yet untapped due to lack of investors willing to invest in drilling and exploration of oil.

The feat that will be worth celebrating and will do our economy much good in this period is to attract more investors who are willing to invest drilling and exploration of crude which will increase our crude production and invariably lead to more income for the government .

As it stands we can’t even supply the existing operational refineries their daily crude requirements . Yet we have more refineries still under construction which only God knows how they will source their crude inputs when they finally come onboard.

Drilling and exploration is damn expensive. In this period where almost all the IOC are looking to diversify their portfolio and move to offshore and alternative source of energy, nobody is going to put that much money into onshore exploration that is damn expensive.

They should at least stop oil bunkering first, let us reach optimal production of the one we are exploring. Oil price has been stable in the international market for at $75 for some time now but almost all the money we should get from our own share of oil production has been pledged away in one loan or the other.

BlueRayDick:
Most people working on the island and living on the mainland , the average cost of fueling a car monthly is around 240k (I.e 60k per week x 4 weeks ) .

Should such a person start riding bicycle 🚴 from mainland to Island daily ? Or should he use majority of his annual salary to rent a house on the island ?

All these their APC propaganda always fall on its face upon close review

The price of transport is ridiculous. from my place to Ikorodu garage that was 200 naira before subsidy removal is now 600. from Garage to Ketu that we used to enter 400 or at worse 500 is now 1k. The more the cost of transportation keep soaring, the more food prices keep soaring.

Even the minimum wage they increase. they haven't starting paying yet and baba dey go vacation. I saw the disaster of this fuel subsidy removal coming but i never think it will be this worse all caused by Tinubu lack of solid implementation of whatever plan he has (if he has any).

And it seems we are just starting sef.

Amass might not be ready yet. With the ball and in terms of attack he is ready, but he is still not as sharp as he should be defensively. Many people here that are calling for Amass to play will be the first to call him a fraud if he makes a mistake that costs us a goal or match.

Lindelof can play RB for the next few weeks while Dalot plays LB. Amass can be on the bench and get few minutes here and there. Malacia has been training with the first team for a few weeks, he too should be getting near bench time, and once he becomes fit he can replace Amass on the bench while the boy gains more minutes with the Under-21s.

When January comes, the decision can be taken as to whether to send Amass on a half-season loan OR to promote him permanently to the first team. Technically he is as secure as Fort Knox, but LB is a crucial position that does not allow the sort of hot and cold performances that Garnacho and Amad have sometimes had in the past couple of years.

I believe your assessments of Amass because you follow our academy but then we won't know if he's ready or not if we don't give him a run of mins especially now that we are short in that department. Look at the way Flick has been using his Youth this season.

Youth players will make mistakes as they grow and gain experiences. Its the same reason why i don't blame Garnacho the same way I'll blame Rashford

afrodoc2:


Lindelof, Malacia, Harry Amass need to step up to the plate.

Malacia hasnt played professional football for more than a year and the bald fraud would rather play Martinez at LB than give Harry Amass a chance.
