ur the nitwit who's no difference from a subliterate neanderthal. if you couldn't put up to the challenge, should ya useless self had quoted me in the first place?? ur home is where you need to go discard people now get ur ragtag sef off my mention

What Challenge? On intelligence scale if I ask you to rate yourself 1-10, if you say 2, you're aiming too high....

Sunisonflex39:
Nawa o..
But motorist were supposed to be giving two months notice at least..
Everything dey somehow for this country
.

....and your "2-months notice" references which standard?

LibertyRep:
Unannounced? That's not fair enough. People should have been told days ahead so as to plan their route.

Construction companies are notorious for caring less about the health and well being of the commuters and residents of the area where they work.

I'm always uncomfortable seeing residents subjected to billow of thick dust for days and weeks just because the roads are being constructed. How about regular wetting of the roads?

Bros,

There is no news here jor! You expect them to summon road users and ask when are they going to be staying at home so that they can commence?
When Journalist are bereft of creative ideas, they resort to low-level narratives like these and call it news. Imagine the opening paragraph

Business and commercial activities have grounded to a halt on the Abuja-Keffi boundary between Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and Nasarawa State due to a heavy gridlock.

Common sense tells that the road needs be fixed among many benefits, to enhance business and commercial activities. If there's need for sacrifice, is that what should attract the needless noise?

I hope the 677 in your handle better not be July 1967?

Kandeed:
shut tf up dude I asked a simple fix, and if you or him can't present a Northern first class material you should rather just keep low and stop quoting me stupidly on a Good afternoon

You've shown you're empty like a barrel making loud noise, what is there to do with you....than to discard....

That publication is either willful or inadvertent ignorance personified.

1. The objective is to encourage investments in local refining capacity and not importation
2. Importation is a disincentive for investment in refineries. There have been many license holders for refinery for over 2 decades who did not even break ground talkless of buying a refining asset. Why would anybody with license consider refinery when he's making mad margins on importations and STEALING from subsidy?
3. The license for importation pegged as such is for cases of sudden increase in local demand beyond refining capacity or cases of deferment (e.g. when Refineries breaks down or are shut down for maintenance). There would have been some off-take commitments which are mostly birthed in long-term contracts. The provision for importation is this scenario is to cover these short-fall when they happen.
4. Dangote refinery is largely provisioned for export. Dangote's products will be bought in $$$. He's incentivised to sell abroad than at home, so importation license is of little use to him as it will rob him of margins
5. The ignorance of the reporter in Oil & Gas business shone through, importation license can never translate to "dominate" Oil & Gas business. Dominate where? Upstream? Midstream or Downstream?

Meanwhile I wonder what some of you lot want. In one breath you want local refineries to be fixed, in another you're complaining of Import license....

Glad to know you’re the gold standard in responsible behavior

Nope..... just that the irresponsibility that shone in that dumb post cannot be exused

Kandeed:
Don't tell me what I know..... well if ur talking bout the Northerners schooling in the West I'd agree with you, even the ones in the West sef na federal Power help them. but picking up a first class student from Sokoto state university or Usman danfodio university for an academic competition with me? I'll send him back to his paternal village

There's no need to put you in competition with anybody because you've outcompeted yourself and won gold on ignorance, arrogance and folly

ugo4u:

Kandeed: :
Lol see terms and conditions..... I'm very sure if these are the conditions and requirements needed bfr one can be shortlisted I'm not expecting one single Northerner to be on the list.

It's very funny they even said a minimum of 2.1 imagine such requirement for a job where Death is certain the next hour.shioor

You're very ignorant and also arrogant at it there are lots of northerners you can't even lace their shoes when it come to Scholastic excellence you people will just be in your cocoon and be spewing rubbish, travel and see.

add "very dumb" to the mix. Many people think the height of knowledge is the depth of their ignorance, or because they are irredeemable failures others should not be better.

Rickmann:
That's only in the army cos southerners are sent to the heat of battle to get slaughtered.. With the navy and airforce, it's different..

If an average illiterate villager makes this statement, he/she can be excused for being unaware; Your submission here actually rubs badly on you

Rickmann:
That's the navy provisional list released recently with only 44 names all core northerners, something that has never happened in the history of the country..now tell me why any southerner should go waste his bloody time on this one again. Isn't it so glaring that buhari is from the pit of hell?

Thats why.

That list is fake, a concoction badly put together. There's nothing on that paper that suggests authenticity. How are you that gullible?

Rickmann:
Its only a foolish southerner that'll waste his or her precious time in applying..

And people would take your advise like many foolish Southerners did ~25-35 years ago only to be crying today that most appointment are taken by Northerners.

I recall someone told a story of what transpired when they wrote entrance exam to one of the military forces. While some people down south struggled to get to the center due to some logistics a local government in the North provided buses to transport willing candidates to center... ask yourself why do we down-south due to stu.pid hatred and lack of strategic thinking sell ourselves out of stake?

27Pushing30:
What exactly is Xenophobic about smiths statement? If you usually watch the show and the guy you’ll know that’s how he usually talks and we enjoy the show cos of it.

Firstly thank God he is BLACK else he woulda had to resign

Secondly if you watched the clip you would see he was being emotional and be honest even you as a Nigerian would you have predicted our BBALL team beating the USMBT?

Thirdly the world’s just such a softie these days any small thing people begin crying ... upon all these shey racism no dey increase?

Make every drink water and calm down... he’s gonna pronounce the name wel very soon ... after we Whoop everyone’s ass and bring Olympic gold to Nigeria

All your 3 points are lame excuse for irresponsible behavior

cyril10:
The bill will be signed immediately because of the removal of the fuel subsidy, trust this government with anti people policy.

Fuel subsidy is actually anti-people at the end of the day....

ogododo:
When oil be $100 dollar, na #87 we dey buy, but when less than $65, we dey pay above #160 per litre.
Lalasticlala.

Do you understand subsidy?

Esseite:
Fix up the refineries and kick start Dangote refinery before pulling out the subsidy.. that is suppose to be the cushion on subsidy..

It won't make much significant impact. Dangote is not the owner of the crude, he will buy them at international price rate (ex other costs) refine and sell at a margin.

Danchibez:
Corrected what? It was people around him that pronounced the right word before he could understand his National blunder then forcing himself to correct it

Bros,

Stop forcing it and sounding off. Many of you that live in a world of illusion simply need to google Ndume's profile and put up yours against, then ask yourself how many decades will it take to meet it half-way

EzegeNdiigbo:
Let’s start with what the value
of $1000 is in the United
States. Is $1K valuable or
valueless in the US?



Do you know that in the US, some
average people’s monthly rent is
over $1000? We haven’t included
taxes and other monthly fees. Now
in Nigeria, apart from few places in
Lagos and Abuja, I don’t think there is a place in Nigeria where
monthly rent is above $100 for a
bedroom apartment. So you see,
with 50M naira annual income,
you’re a million in Nigeria, but a
poor or rather, an average man in the US, UK, and Canada.



DO YOU AGREE? A Man Who
Earns 50M Naira Annually In
Nigeria Is Considered Poor In UK,
US & Canada? Let’s hear from you.

That's an argument between me and my tight paddy!!!


Drop your comment below.

Very poor low-level analysis...

He corrected himself.... any problem with that? Why are people are making things look like it's out of the ordinary. Many unintelligent lots here

Dogasas:
I am based in Abuja but come to Lagos State once in a while. Now because of my unfamiliarity with Lagos roads, I decided to use public transport this morning.

I was at one of the Oshodi parks when I started hearing "eko" "eko" "eko". I moved closer to the conductor to ask where the bus was going and with a sachet of dry gin in his mouth, he harshly said "Lagos". That wasn't my destination but as I was looking for a bus going to my destination, I kept pondering, no be the same Lagos we dey abi is there another Lagos in Lagos?

JJC.... and you even came to NL to showcase your JJC? Haba!

Mynd44:
Actually Dangote is not the nig one with an active refining license. Oando has one and some other coporations

...and the problem is that they hold the license and not developing there project. Oando has had refinery aspiration on its website for more than a decade yet there is no refinery on ground. It's because the provision for importation is a disincentive for building local refining capability

Kpobaridaniel:
Why will they have to Import Fuel? Are they not suppose to be refining Fuel?
Imagine building a refinery and using the license to secure monopoly of fuel importation!


Well now we know the real reason for the hurriedly built refinery!

I believe the provision for importation here is in 2 folds; (a) to cover gaps in demand in a scenario where production either falls short or there's an increase in demand beyond production. (b) to encourage licensee to develop the asset and not rely on imports

There is nothing really serious here, the problem is with the reporting of the news. It is skewed to make Dangote look the villan. How come no one had embarked on a project of such magnitude among the other rich Nigerian. Opportunity does not wait for the unprepared.

Amaechi2023:
for goodness sake, why does the media have to make everything come from s tribal perspective?
I mean for what sake?
the bill clearly approved for those with active refinery license and if dangote is the only one with those license, why on earth is the media trying so hard to fuel ethnic tension to illiterates?
many of us knows that several other Nigerians have stakes and investment in dangote refinery and it is the goal of every business to monopolize its product and deal with competitors.
if dangote is doing that, why the fowl cry?
innosson is forcing its cars down the troath of the govt despites its heavy price but yet Buhari led govt still compress itself to help innoson.
anyone that takes the affairs of big men into tribal war must be a fool and has achieved the hidden goal of this post.

last time it was one rubbish rumour that dangote sells cement at Mozambique or so for 1,300 but a quick check shows Nigeria has one of the cheapest cement price in Africa..
people were raining insults on dangote but refused to ask themselves why ibeto cement and others weren't cheaper.
rubbish entity..

God bless you Bro.

If I had been the one to reply these fools, I would have been more brutal.....

Carparts:
You mean America vs America because 95% of those Nigerian team are born or raised as Americans or live in America

My Initial tots too.... but come to think of it, is that not what obtainable for some other countries who's players are mostly NBA-bred?

Addme:

oluztx: :
Just call it Igbo or Biafran team. Thank you coach Mike Brown for not bowing to pressure from Nigerian government to quota system team. He was asked to form a team based on Nigerian tribal makeup, meaning allow quota system. Mike Brown said no or he will resign. He said will only pick the best from across the world base on merit or performance, and it happens there were mostly Igbos.

Can you give us a link to prove the bolded because as much as I know Nigeria Basketball Team have been like this for God knows when and apart from the likes of Aminu who was a deserved call up then, Igbos have always dominated our basketball team. Even Ike Diogu, a constant and their captain is currently missing their, so stop this lie and your constant tribal tantrum.

1. I don't know why this generation likes to lie. Oluztx, what is the benefit of your lying?

2. @Addme, you're spot on. I believe Ike Diogu is getting old and may not be able to keep up with these current young folks. I think Al-Farooq Amin will struggle in this team....Men look at players like Precious, that build, that athletism.... this is the first time I'm seeing a D'Tigers team throw 3-pointers like crazy

ChizzyBuna:
I haven't been able to sleep since yesterday. Im a young guy and still in school and this girl is my bestie in school.
We do it regularly and without condom I never knew it will end like this.
I'm still young any advice on how to handle this situation..

Errm, What exactly is the mistake?

ChizzyBuna:
Only mature response
No jokes this is serious matter

You put up an immature post and expect mature response?

I know a story of a guy in one of the banks.....committed fraud - stole #15m. By the time he was caught had spent #12 on BetNaija

I remember after the first week the pandemic was eased I went to him and told him I had a problem and he asked what's the problem and I told him you are like a father to me so I feel comfortable telling you this( I thought after 4 year's a loyal worker can see a boss as a father), I need help because I'm addicted to sport bet. Then he asked me questions upon questions and I was sincere to each of his questions and he asked me if I had any savings left I told him no that sport bet took everything, he asked if I have ever stolen from him I told him if I did Mr shonibare the auditor would have known but after that he changed drastically

Your story is moving.

Let me react to the highlighted above. First of it is a bad move. Let me tell you a story that's almost similar

I remember a boy (youth) in church during a night vigil service, gave a testimony of how he was into gangs, drugs and stuff, he even said he was into cocaine...but thank God he's (was) healed from the bondage. BIG MISTAKE! What his "testimony" signaled to parents was to keep their children away from him. Parents did not trust his story. People said Cocaine addicts mostly never fully recover. The boy did not help his plight any better as he started calling some people to solicit for money, including yours truly.

By principle, I always try to do a background check before I part with money to help people when they come with stories of needing money to start a business..... So I called a priest to inquire about him. I also told the priest that his story did not so much add up to me. The priest said he'd advised him to stay in the background and let him speak to people on his behalf (which would have been a better strategy) but he was impatient, fetched people's number and went on his own. I told the priest I'm not comfortable giving him money if he's not under a supervised program. The priest told me he's not comfortable contacting church members and also that he moved out of the church hostel accommodation (for homeless and help seekers)....I heard enough and engaged him. Told him to return to church hostel, and to channel his request to through the priest to me.... He cut the phone on me and that was the last I heard of the fellow.....

Moral of the story - In special cases like that, you have to be circumspect and wisely choose who will help, and not who you expect to help. Definitely not your Boss. A Gambler is a No! No! for business....If I were your Boss, I will fire you immediately and refer you to a Counsellor. I will not even take you back after you claim you've recovered. That is the consequence....to appreciate the gravity of what your habit means to business.

Now I advise you - Get back to Jamb. Get into a University. That is where your work and savings should be channeled. That is where the Sports Bet money should have gone into

SonOfTheRisingS:
You are a fool. Were the so called security terrorist agencies campaigning and voted in every elections

Did people voted for freedom or for massacring by politicans in government

The moment you can afford a brain, call me then

The British Ambassador wanted to question him about is wealth and use of presidential jet for his sons wedding.

...and the "British Ambassador" would have questioned him over this as what? World Police?

Many of you just say ridiculous stuffs

BlackFlamefromP:
It is pure arrogance, combined with willful ignorance that make most of us southerners see the entire northerners as parasites who cannot survive without the south! Yes, the north may be backward in some ways, but it doesn't mean they can't survive if Nigeria should break up.

My observation is that MAJORITY of you clamouring for the break up of Nigeria do so out of extreme narrow-minded reasoning, pure sentiment, deep-rooted unjustifiable hatred for northerners (remember the igbos are still unwilling to forgive Nigeria and the North for their experience during the biafran war - whether they admit it or not. They are still looking for opportunity to revenge one way or the other). I can go on and on.

To cut the long story short, I am yet to see any valid justifiable reason for Nigeria to break up!

NIGERIA MUST BE ONE!

Flesh and blood did not reveal this to you my Brother.....
