QuinQ:
You are loudly and proudly obtuse. BBC just had this. The first hospital had no anti venom

No mind am. Listen to BBC e no gree, na to dey spew rubbish. BBC said many vials are needed to treat one snake bite and each costs see below. And they expire in 4 years. Many Nigerian hospitals don't have it. The first hospital the young lady was taken to didn't have it!

Stop using US medical costs to judge what is applicable in Nigeria. The same medication that costs 1,000 USD in America may end up costing 300 USD in Mexico or India.

In Nigeria, polyvalent anti-venom is approved for use and it works for a range of snake bites caused by various types of snakes.

Here, it costs between 150k to 180k. More than 2 vials may be needed for a patient depending on the severity of the venom.

Insulin is quite expensive in the US, but much cheaper in Canada and Mexico.

You are not making sense

Why can’t you just separate politics from real knowledge??

You Nigerians will just bẹ having opinion in what you know nothing about.

Have yoy heared of essential drugs list?

Do you know several hospitals in New york may not have anti-malaria?

Do you know each snake type has its own anti-venom?

Do you know how expensive it is to produce anti-venom?

Everything is interpreted from Tinubu,APC,ADC bla bla lense to you.

Please there is polyvalent anti-venom which is what Nigeria uses. It is effective for snake bites caused by different species of snakes. We hardly use monovalent anti-venom in Nigeria

Good one here! But let me add another known personality who has lived above 70years of age, DR CHRISTOPHER KOLADE the former chairman of SURE-P. This is the man my dad normally use as a reference point whenever is giving me words of courage. My parents n God have been the source of my being alive. Tell it to the unborn: Sickle Cell is REAL n pain is REAL.

NOT TRUE. Dr Christopher Kolade never had sickle cell. His 2 sons however were the ones with sickle cell. May they rest in peace.

He married at age 20. It is well! The wife looks older.

Happy married life

His name is Taiwo. The wife's name is Taiye. Both of them are twins. They share the same first name and surname.

If they don't give birth to twins or triplets, I want to know what will cause it.

I hope you know you are talking to an importer with over 20 years experience..? Not a newbie on this one.
We know the game your uncles play to keep eastern port dormant, using the tentacles at the federal level. All the beurucratic bottlenecks and added charges that make the shippers do all they can to offload at Lagos, thereby making the landing cost at any eastern port higher... Don't get me started..
Keep you gaslighting for the uninitiated..

In any event, where is the ibaka port?
Have you guys not turned the project into a "stillborn" as you were accused here...?

Which uncles? The ones you kept in your backyard?

You claim to be an importer with over 20 years experience and yet you do not know that goods of all kinds can be imported through Onnè port and that the same Onnè is the 2nd highest revenue generating port in the federation?

Your Ibaka port is something that the state government needs to work hand-in-hand with the authorities to make a reality.

Lagos State Government worked assiduously to create Lekki Free Trade Zone and the new port, and even brought in foreign companies like Tolaram to partner with them, to develop the port.

What did the governors in your region do, to ensure that Ibaka port becomes a reality?

You just keep lamenting online and wailing, without offering concrete solutions.

owobokiri:
Leave that tribal buffoon. He is just trying to muddle the discuss.. They think they are the most clever..
Someone from Yorubaland will be advising someone from igboland or ibibioland to stop complaining about federal governments unwillingness to develop Eastern ports. He believes you are being too sectional and tribal by insisting to have the ports at Calabar, Warri, Portharcourt modernised.. Imagine such selfishness..

The same person will never travel from say ibadam to Calabar to clear his goods if he was the one at the receiving end. He can never tolerate that for a week. As at today, to move 40ft containers from Lagos to Aba, you are most probably going to add an extra 4 to 5 million naira to your overhead costs. Infact, at a point some months back, the freight charge from China for a 40ft container was almost the same with the cost of transporting the same containers from Lagos to the east! These additional costs will be passed on to the hapless consumers in the east, thereby making the products extremely costly when compared to the prices at ibadam or Lagos.

Yet the Southwest wants this status quo to continue. Lots of accidents and deaths on the way as goods are transported to the SE and the SS from Lagos, but they don't care. Their answer is to build a trillions naira highway from Tinubus Lekki port to the South South! Why not open up the South South ports, so they clear their goods at their backyard? On a good day, it will take less than an hour from Aba to Portharcourt. But most of the containers opened at Aba are cleared from Lagos.
It has to stop

Some of you are too ridiculous for words. Onnè port is there in the South -south. You can import anything through there.

If all your importers from the Southeast and South-south were routing all imports through there, wouldn't you have far better turn around times for delivery, and far lower transportation charges?

bigfrancis21:
Thanks for this honest post of yours.

The amount of misinformation on nairaland can be quite alarming.

Ok, according to Igbo traditional history. One of the sons of Eri, Onoja, moved northwards to found Igala people. This is still reflective in an Igbo saying that if all the Igbos are finished off today, some Igbo still remain in Igala, most especially in reference to Igalas in the south with Igbo ancestry/influence. Now from my better understanding Onoja may not have been the founder of all Igalas but instead some part of the Igalas, especially southern Igala. Some towns in Igala south point their origins to Igboland.

The Igbo origin of some Igala towns is often left out in Igala historical accounts, partially due to attempts since the civil war by many tribes to disassociate from ethnic relationship with the Igbo. However, it does not telll the true story. Southern Igalas and some Northern Igbo towns share a lot of back-and-forth migrational relationships. That's the truth.

What do you know about Akpanya town?

There is nothing like "The Igbo origin of some Igala towns is often left out in Igala historical accounts..."

No Igala town or community, has an Igbo origin!

Igbos are Igbos.

Igalas are Igalas.

Both are distinct and different from each other, like chalk and cheese.

Godfullsam:
How is Aregbesola a technocrat?

Wait a minute, what is your definition of technocrat?

If this article is enough to convince you that all yorubas are queueing behind tinubu as their number one leader, it means your knowledge of the Yoruba people is very little and shallow.

Don't mind him. People just open their mouths to say rúbbish, as if all Yoruba's sat down to elect Tinubu or claim he is their leader.

Aren't there Yoruba's who supported PDP? Or aren't there Yoruba's who supported Labour and are actively playing a role in there till date?

Some folks are just clowns.

Petrol price is coming down to 400 naira, hope you're aware of this?.

How will that ever happen, when your naira to USD is almost 1,600NGN to 1USD?

Cost of oil per barrel is tied to USD. Check Platts Oilgram for current prices.

So unless your exchange rate gets better, the cost of fuel cannot drop.

free2ryhme:
For someone who once championed tough economic reforms, it’s ironic to see him sidestep support now that these policies are in motion. His relevance fades when he prioritizes perceived estrangement over the nation's progress. The reforms he once endorsed are gaining traction, and this moment is less about Sanusi’s approval and more about collective action.

Sanusi's support remains his own personal property, so why is FG wailing that he is not giving his support to their policies ?

If they were firmly sure that those policies or reforms were yielding the right kind of fruit for the citizenry, they would not be squawking around seeking outsiders to support them.

In fact, the people would be applauding them.

Let FG stop this propaganda and their gimmicks. There is hunger everywhere. Those reforms are only increasing the hardships in the land.

As at today, 6 people have asked me for financial handouts as their businesses have collapsed due to this FG's so-called reforms.

IfnobeGod20:
Tinubu was an average governor. If you say he was an excellent governor, then, Fashola or Ambode are what? Fashola and Ambode performance covered the mess of his governance. He was more into politics than the true governance. The only governor in trb the history of Nigeria to have used three deputies in the space of 8 years reign. If he has governed a state with less effects and resources, a state like Osun or Kogi he would have been a total failed governor. Everything he did, no average governor that doesn't do that base on the resources at their disposal. The man was more into real politics than governance during his stint as a governor.

So very true. All those other governors he installed in the southwest that he told to follow his plan, what happened? They failed abysmally.

Aregbesola was a dynamic failure in Osun who couldn't pay salaries throughout his tenure. He only built a few bridges.

Dapo Abiodun despite his two terms has been a failure in Ogún state, as his state has some of the worst roads in the Southwest after Èkìtì.

Ondo state nkọ́? The least said, the better. That state has nothing to show for all the years APC was in control, as their late governor was teleguided by Tinubu.

Only the creation of Amotekun saved the reputation of Akeredolu back then. On all other areas especially healthcare, his administration scored zero.

A smart person will post topics that are conducive to his business or the product he is selling or even include a picture of what to expect.

No they were made in Poland. Abeg, stop playing. Go there and see ...

Sosqui:
Not true. Don't say what you don't know.

You are the one who needs to educate himself. You don't know much about Autogas conversion if you say it is not true. Go to Poland and buy an OEM approved conversion kit. Then compare it with the ones bought in India, China etc.

You will see the difference in price, quality and even after sales technical support.

@laudate, how's it going?

You probably are NOT aware that @Gazzuzz [David Omoregie] passed on in August 2024 from the injuries he sustained in a road accident while coming back from Benin City to Lagos after delivering a car to a client of his. Reading all the NL tributes about him since I first learned about his translation to a "higher state of vibration," it shows that he CLEARLY touched the lives of a lot of folks.

You can read more in the link BELOW which hit the main NL frontpage.

Fortunately, others will continue to keep his CNG ecosystem dreams alive since that space is a greenfield and it's the cheapest fuel for transportation and industrial use that can be used to lower the cost of production and reduce hyperinflation if clearly implemented in any gas-rich country.

Cheers.

Wha-aa-aat? Oh my goodness! I didn't know that. I left Naira land ages ago, because of the constant bans and prejudiced mods. So I haven't kept abreast of events on NL.

Once in a while I log in to check, whenever I get a few messages and things.

I am so sorry about this! The guy was gifted when it came to cars!

May his soul rest in peace.

All I know is that my cousins are from Ondo state and my jaws dropped when I attended my cousin's traditional wedding and she came out dressed like a Bini bride!!!! Apparently, brides from Owo in Ondo state dress like Bini women! Go back and do your research, some parts of Yoruba land are practically Bini, the intercultural exchange is unmistakable!

Benin actually conducted raids on Ọ̀wọ̀ in Indo State in the ancient times. Folklore and songs, which tell of the period of invasion abound.

Ask any elderly Ọwọ person about the cultural and political ties that exist between the Benin and Ọwọ people.

Props to the memory of @Gazzuzz, the social entrepreneur and change agent.

What happened to Gazzuzz? What do you mean by memory?

Sosqui:
The truth is that the above cost from these firms are quite outrageous. You can do your CNG conversion at NIPCO stations for NGN750,000 for 4 cylinder engine with 55kg tank and NGN775,000 for 65kg tank. 6 cylinder cars with 65kg tank cost about NGN815,000.

Those prices are for the generic CNG conversion kits and NOT the OEM-compliant ones, which the car manufacturers have approved as compatible with their cars.

Go and check the price of OEM kits bought in Poland and other parts of Europe, with those generic off the shelf types made in India and some other places.

You also need to make sure the Autogas cylinders are not expired. Lifespan of Autogas cylinders is 10 years.

There's nothing wrong in having an iyaloja in Edo state. It'll only make them unite to achieve a common goal.

Did they ever tell you they needed one? And haven't they been achieving their goals all these years? Why can't you people mind your own business, and stop interfering in places where you have NO business, and nobody needs you?

Traders in Edo markets, know how to organise and coordinate themselves.

Tell Folashade Tinubu-Ojo to leave them alone, and to stop being greedy.

She is Iyaloja of Lagos NOT Iyaloja of Edo or Iyaloja of Nigeria.

What kind of nönsēnse is all this, séf?

geezyk:
CNG is different from LPG. it's currently being sold from between ₦230-300

Try to be smart. There are over 3,000 fuel stations in Nigeria. How many CNG refueling stations exist nationwide? Less than 25 places.

Secondly, you need two litres of CNG to cover the same distance that 1 litre of petrol will cover.

If the price is 230 per litre for CNG, then you will use 460 naira to cover the same kilometre that a 700 naira litre of petrol will cover.

Let me tell you the bad part, because CNG stations are far away, you will burn more CNG to cover that distance to refuel, your car.

The savings are too neglible and few to make sense.

Finally, the worst part is that CNG prices will soon increase. And soon, whatever savings you thought you had, may get wiped out.

Last but not the least, you will still look for 1.2 million to 1.6 million to convert your vehicle BEFORE you can use CNG.

Salewa97:
This is a commendable move by the FG. Investing N900bn in CNG vehicle conversion is a step in the right direction for our environment and economy.

Imagine the reduction in emissions and the boost to local industries! This initiative could create jobs and enhance our energy security.

It's high time we embraced cleaner energy solutions, and this shows that the government is serious about making sustainable changes. Let's hope they follow through effectively and involve local manufacturers in the process.

Kudos to the FG for thinking ahead!

Some of you are so unintelligent that it defies belief!

Since 2016 less than 20,000 vehicles have been converted nationwide to run on CNG Gas.

Most states do not have infrastructure for delivery and fueling of gas. So what do they want to use to refuel such vehicles?

To convert a vehicle to CNG is over 1.2 million naira per car. Who has that kind of money to waste these days?

They want to convert 750,000 vehicles within 3 years. How?? With what??

Your country does not manufacture one inch of the CNG conversion kits, so what are they going to do? They will import. With which FX?

Buhari promised to deliver 1 million Autogas conversion kits to Nigerians in 2020. Till today, what happened? Nothing.

The whole of Western Europe does not even manufacture up to 1 million kits in one year. It is not possible.

You people should stop insulting our senses with this shameless propaganda, please.

Houses are cheap in Nigeria.

Thus is less than £80,000 and you can't get a 2 bedroom apartment here with this amount here.

But, I no go still buy sha, the fear of demolition is real.

It is cheap for 80,000 pounds. Really? What is minimum wage in the UK? Do they have mortgage plans over there or not? How many people in Nigeria earn UK type of salaries?
