Very good. Shebi we could buy generator and fuel it before? Now we know that privately generated power is too expensive, we will hold the government to do the right thing. Countless billions have been spent on the power industry to no avail. But we were all complacent, after all we had our small IPMN generators.
NOW IS THE TIME TO HOLD THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE. We need to protest, not to remove the fuel subsidy but to cut their benefits, to demand accountability for past billions misspent. For 4k's sake, some people need to go to jail!!

And you think, it's after suddenly raising the price of petrol that we should now start running to fix PHCN? Shouldn't the task of fixing PHCN have happened earlier? And knowing that the problem with PHCN has not been fixed combined with the petrol price increase, what does that tell you about the intelligence of the people at the helm of affairs?

I don't know why dummies keep talking as if petrol is only used to power automobiles. So how about generators? Let me preempt and say, I should get solar panels right? How much power can solar panels generate? Yet PHCN might not provide power for up to 3 days?

Proudly Nigerian!

Just check out how you guys have turned this into a joke. Only in naija!!

How do you turn a joke into a joke?

Will the buses also help power the millions of generators running on petrol?

You are a funny guy. What does the state of California have to do with NNPC? It appears you don't even know what the real crux of the matter is.

Lol. He's either right or wrong; but he's more likely correct than you. You are making pronouncements on a sector you barely know compared to the man, yet you declared he's wrong (even without seeing his analysis). Is that logical? Have you ever worked in the sector or even NNPC? The man made his analysis pretty public yet I don't see NNPC refuting it. They have been mute, yet you think you know better.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=836855.msg9893446#msg9893446 date=1325681497]I don't need to read his analysis to know that he is clearly mistaken, if he thinks that N65/liter doesn't represent a subsidy.[/quote]And you think you know more than a former Petroleum Minister?

I don't think we are on the same page. I only tried to show you that your suggestion of a marginal price differential on importation is incorrect. For a proper analysis check Prof Tam David-West's analysis which showed that even @ 65/liter there was no subsidy; rather there was price inflation.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=836855.msg9890697#msg9890697 date=1325638646]I have never understood this argument. I guess it is marginally cheaper to transport crude oil to a refinery in Nigeria if your target is the Nigerian market.

But taking the crude, shipping it abroad and refining it there probably isn't much more expensive.

Stated differently, one shouldn't expect that the price of producing refined oil will be much cheaper in Nigeria than elsewhere. Marginally yes, but not much.

Assuming that there aren't some subsidies.[/quote]What don't you understand? That transportation is costly? Or that importation is costly (import duties)? If you think transportation of oil from Nigeria to the US will only make it marginally costly, can you then explain why cars shipped in from the US usually cost double the price of the same car in the US? Or you think it's just the greedy Nigerian at work again?

989900:
does any one have the feeling we actually produce more than that documented figure?

Of course we do. The excess is spirited away through our offshore waters to "First World Countries" who need them more.

FEMARY1:
Was there subsidy really?Please somebody with the right information about the oil industry should help.Because it has now been successfully sown to Nigerians that there is subsidy.

Those who know have already demonstrated that there really is no "subsidy". And using commonsense comparing the gas price in Nigeria and the US, as soon as the Nigerian price actually begins to approach the US price you know there's no subsidy. Rather there's a price inflation.

I can't quite believe anybody living in the US does not realize why there really is a half-hearted effort to stop illegal immigrants from Mexico. Believe you me, if the disadvantage outweighed the advantage, the US will put a complete stop to it. You can't compare the effort in securing the US/Mexico border to the Nigeria/Benin or Nigeria/Niger border.

y2kaustin: @logica, are you sure you are not suffering from ancestral course?, you really need cleansing in every ramification.i rest my case,you better go and seek for God's forgiveness or else!!!!!

Your father is suffering from ancestral curse. The name of the curse is ignorance. That's why he was a neanderthal, and you are a monkey; the intelligence continues to dwindle from generation to generation. Blithering f00l.

y2kaustin:
why haven't you guys applied it for either spiritual,material,financial, or intellectual value for people to benefit.

Only logical people can benefit not id!ots like you. As long as imbeciles like you still exist and are the majority, there is very little sensible people can do.

They apparently received a security alert being circulated by United Nations officials, claiming an attack is planned for Lagos. We dey wait.

saintneo:
can someone tell me why Jesus was carried away to Egypt by his parents when Herod was killing every male baby?

Because his parents were not Christians? Or because they didn't know they could pray to God?

OmoPastor:
then wait until the muslims have their celebrations next year its surely going to be pay back time, no mercy. blah blah blah

You seem to forget that the same purported Boko-Haram attacked Muslims during their celebration.

isquar3d3:
about d plot to assasinate him, he took d nxt available ship out of dat city. There r times like these.

LOL. But I thought Jesus was so eager to be used as a sacrificial lamb? But belief apart, analysis of the whole event showed Jesus knew he had it coming and had resigned himself to fate.

You mean, they can't pray about it and bind the "Demons of Boko-Haram"?

IbroSaunks:
The question is more related to how much math!!

. . .and wouldn't the answer be, "as much math as the problem domain required"? Now when you think about how varied the problems programmers are trying to solve are, what does that tell you?

Kobojunkie:
All I can tell you is that logically your interpretation there fails considering the original statement cannot be equivalent to the conclusion drawn by you. Unless you are able to prove otherwise, I say no point.

All I can say is the ONLY kind of self-taught programmers that you can ridicule as you did in your post are those PHP programmers, and not the ones who actually provide the syllabus which you go study over a 4 year period. If you can't get that, then I'm afraid of the kind of code you come up with.

Kobojunkie:
May I suggest you go brush up on your logic lessons then, because there is NO WAY anyone who has that skill down can translate what I have there in what you came up with and think it correct.

Before I go any further to insult you, can you then tell us who you refer to as "so called self taught programmers"?

IbroSaunks:
perhaps you didn't understand the question fully.

. . .or perhaps, as pointed out, you don't know what programming really is.

Kobojunkie:
I have seen so many of the so-called self taught programmers boast of how they are as good as those who spent years in college studying these things, but in reality many of them are only just good enough for the jobs available in small fraction of the industry. The core jobs still go to those with the high-end skills.

It seems you have decided self-taught = set of all web programmers e.g PHP "gurus". If that's the case I think you are mistaken. Many of the pioneers of game graphics and computer game development techniques were self-taught (e.g John Carmack). Now a bunch of the concepts they came up with are being TAUGHT in college classes. Besides you can still be in college and self-taught in the sense that you are picking up skills not taught in class. The fact remains that the best programmers in college had already started off by themselves probably way before college. If I was to depend on what I was taught in college, I don't think I would have stretched my career this far.

Anyway, I agree with omo_to_dun's professor. I can't even believe that question is being asked.

Of course you only score an OWN GOAL on YOUR goalkeeper. But that ball had no right going in. That goalkeeper is the weakest link.

Apparently you just became a good candidate for PETA membership.

While I can hardly put any evil beyond the CIA, I find this hard to believe especially since Reverend Jones killed himself. CIA agents usually escape after the atrocities have been committed.

I watched a documentary on the incident recently, and the camera focused on a sign-board with an ironic quote (by George Santayana): "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". For what ever reason, Reverend Jones could relate to this quote, but I found it ironic since the quote applies to what's currently going on in Christianity - quite a number of churches refer to their "MOG" as "Daddy"; just as was Reverend Jones.

This is to him who hath understanding. Decipher this message: His followers called him "Daddy".

Jones was called "Father" or "Dad" by the adults as well

Does this ring a bell?

@efisher,

I will advise you ignore this monkey. He's either a troll, or mentally ill.
