The MrJay entity will stay a thousand year in the business world with his pragmatic approach.

I agree. Very matured

In public service, you should learn to blend your performance with politics. If you use only politics in public service, you'll fail. If you use only performance in public service, you'll fail.

It is this man's stupidity arresting Gokada, Max and Oride bikes that has made Oride, Max Okada and others go as far as Abia, Ondo, Oyo, Ogun and other states.

Lagos is seeking to attract investment and they won't allow one strongheaded technocrat who has never created a single job in his life come and disrupt a burgeoning industry.

Even though the report from a seeming rogue media outfit had all the trappings of a sponsored campaign, the highlighted part got my attention. I mean it beggars logic to imagine that Lagos State will promulgate a law that will among others;
1. Restrain/constrain investors in the transportation sector
2. Deny Lagos of potential sustainable taxable income
3. Contradict itself, because to the best of my knowledge non of these coys use below 200cc bikes

It was his ex-wife that instituted the divorce and vehemently refused any form of reconciliation even against the advise of the courts.

Although I personally disagree with President Buhari.

Many companies set up assembly plants between 2014 and 2016. These include Toyota Nigeria Limited and Coscharis Motors, but they have recently been reporting poor sales.

The exceptions are Innoson and Stallion group (VON), but these two companies are heavily benefitting from government patronage.

I think they need to take another look at our auto policy and see how to make it work in such a way that the local auto plants will be able to make good money and still provide good value for money to the customer.


So I think that the medical facility is a better idea at the moment than the second assembly plant.

One of the approaches I will suggest is for CBN to mandate banks to make provision for Car loans at special interest rates (not more than 7%) to Registered Nigerian citizens(NIN, BVN etc) who are within an earning bracket and have been working for 2yrs. This is the only way to keep to assembly plant producing and profitable. An average young man cannot afford a brand new car and even old folks like me will still prefer to buy "clean" tokunbo than a brand new car. If made convenient and spread over 5yrs, then assembly plants can keep producing.

fergie001: :


President Buhari urged the group to also consider setting up a car assembly plant, noting that Nigeria had the capacity to absorb the investment for positive returns.


Then look at this wtite up, what is he woo-ing them for again?

Simple: The Toyota guys came with a proposal to set up a medical diagnostic centre in Nigeria, so that Nigerians do not need to go abroad for healthcare and President Buhari told them that they can also set up an additional plant in Nigeria because Nigeria has the population to absorb the investment.


Are you saying that Toyota does not already have an assembly plant in Nigeria?

..besides I think the Toyota plant launched in 2016 is Chief Adeojo (Elizade's) franchise......

Why didn't he meet these Nigerians at the Nigerian embassy. Why this huge doze of cowardice

Met with just a few friends. What is this?

There should have been 100s of Nigerians. Why just a few people, and also not at the embassy?

Infact most, if not all the people in that picture, are a part of his entourage to Japan. Also in the same hotel hideout

How can he meet people that are not Nigerians? Those at the embassy said they are not Nigerians, and are in the wrong place because the last I checked I think the Biafran corner-shop (embassy) is not in Japan

Predstan:
For you just jump to conclusion without some sort or reasoning. I have argued with those guys I mentioned on the other thread. So I had to mention them to see what I was saying. It's not to agree with what Reno or any other person was saying. By the way, I didnt mention you, why take it like it's your job?

Stop digging. You can simply be civil and give the perspective. Obviously the said post did not reflect what you explained here and there is no jumping into any conclusions. The onus is on you to communicate clearly, rather than expect people to read "meanings" when you fail to communicate correctly.

So does that justify your invectives?

Predstan:
Unfortunately, you fail to understand why I quoted those people but very quick to type rubbish just to satisfy your stupidity. You wonder why those people did not quote me to say anything?

I told them before now that it's the Agenda of the summit that determines the Guest and not by rotation as they suggested...
Next time open your head for fresh hair to your liquidated Brain

You care to go back to the person you quoted and what he concluded and in which you submitted "I don't understand them". Except you are as crass as your submission here, care to tell me what warranted the invectives?

It looks like them Hope went to collect bribe from Yahaya Bello. See how they disqualified all other candidates for any issue possible. But qualified Yahaya based on his contributions to the party. I laugh in corruption grin

They have not learnt their lessons on internal democracy despite all they suffered for same.

Why in God's name will you disqualify some people in a fair contest and invariably give undue advantage to some?

Majority of black people have serious problems with due process, fairness and equity. That is the main reason Africa is not progressing. The only ones progressing have taken active steps to curtail these vices.

You know Ambode almost played the same card in the primary that ousted him. He had "camped" Clement Ebri and his panel member in hotel hoping they will shift the primaries. Unfortunately the legally-aware people realised that the panel members are mere observers and the critical requisite to validate a primary is the attendance of INEC rep.

How on earth Yahaya Bello was allowed to emerge as the Governor in 2015 in itself unjust and unmerited

"contributions" gini? Yahaya Bello that mysteriously returned to the party immediately Audu died? I join you in that laugh

BlackAfrican:
They better screen the candidates and conduct their primaries well o. It's not that later a judge will disqualify winners and impose losers on the people like happened in Zamfara

WORD!

Lessons should have been learnt from the Rivers & Zamfara "Unforced-Errors"

I suggest you both take the easiest route. Ignore the FACTS and believe Reno. That requires ABSOLUTELY no use of the thinking faculty

The official website of the 2019 G-7 Summit said: “In addition to South Africa, four countries playing a leading role on the continent and which are players in multilateral cooperation, committed to preserving biodiversity and ambitious implementation of the Paris Agreement on climate change, are also invited to the Biarritz Summit and to several preparatory meetings.”


Of all the rubbish counter points against Reno, you still arrived at one major point which Op actually quoted from G-7 official page, which is countries that are playing major role in the continent were invited, doesn't that still show that Buhari was snubbed as stated above?

I dont understand them oooo

Unfortunately for you both, stuffs like multi-layer cooperation, commitment to biodiversity and implementation to Paris agreement are not economic indicators and your ignorance is apparent here

With all these points tell me what is the distribution capacity we have?
The discos keep rejecting the little generated power claiming they don't have the capacity to distribute.
If you want to compare Nigeria with other advanced countries pls do your research and find out how much electricity is in US, france, Egypt and other top continent countries. A private investor not willing to invest in structural improvement but they want profits to be rolling in the moment they purchase the discos. Haba. In many places people buy transformers, they buy poles and wires.. They also pay in full for the meters provided by the discos.
Go to mowe Ibafo and find out how much the residents spent before they could get light after 5 years.. Or you can just search on youtube for their interview with channels tv.
Fact is the discos don't want make capital investments and just like any private organization that purchases the country assets, THEY JUST WANT TO COLLECT THEIR OWN SHARE OF THE NATIONAL CAKE.
This is a glimpse of what some residents in mowe, Ibafo axis had to go through before they could have power

I think I will have to rest it here with you. I'm not seeing any intellectual value in discourse with you

blaise26abj:
Well no one can know it all. I have already acknowledged my error regarding independent Gencos. However, I stand by my initial assertions. And it’s very simple. Encouraging major discos to sell to clusters @ higher rates outside the tariff system will snowball into better supply to higher bidders than poorer Nigerians. It will no longer be equitable. The initiative should be strictly for independent companies.
Lastly ,This is Nigeria where a lot of our systems don’t work and the blame rests mainly on the government and leadership.

So simple questions, how do you think the landing cost of power can be paid for? How do you think Discos should recoup.

Fyi most of the independent companies that hitherto subsidized for domestic consumers had over time built their power plants and deals directly with Gas Transportation Companies.

Finally, how do this blame in question rest on government?

Raysleek:
Sorry to say but the gaps are in your reasoning and your touch with reality.

Whatever rocks your boat...... For someone with "pedestrian" knowledge and exposure in Gas-2-power business......hmm

Raysleek:

asapeola: :

Better you wake up and accept that fact! Electricity is business everywhere in the world. If u want top power then b ready to pay top dollar

If the power is available even though expensive people are a liking to pay no matter what for it. The poor are being bullied based on estimation while the rich are rightly metered. Seems you are the one still sleeping. Pls make sense and don't make noise. FYI I work in a natural gas delivery company.. Supplying natural gas to big companies and camps like Rccg camp for example. They have generating capacity of 30mw. Constant electricity 247 and everyone in the camp is metered with prepaid meters.. The facility has been running since your sense left you. Same with winners camp. Sumal foods in oluyole estate Ibadan just to mention a few. So even if you are a disco official.. You met people working there. You don't know shii

Such a irony! You work in a natural gas delivery company and you make arguments with so much gaps?

TGMISKY:
There was a time, some years ago when a wealthy man in my place of residence (Mgbuoba in Port Harcourt, Rivers State) wanted to bury his mom, he payed N100,000 (or so we heard) to the Power Holders and we had light in the community from 12pm on Friday till 4pm on Sunday.
This showed that the country can make 24hrs of power a reality but has been playing 'politics' with it.

Have you considered that the power that was made available for the burial was probably redirected from some others?

Exponental:
How much do they pay per Kwh?
I want to put this straight..... With N24.97Kwh we pay, electricity cannot be stable. There are many IPPs in Lagos, non collect less than N50.00kwh. How many people pay N24.97 righteously? How many people don't bypass with the poor tariff? People who pay, don't leave electricity unused.
The question is.... Are you ready to pay 'at least N20,000 per month' for electricity of 12hrs daily?
How much do you pay monthly to run your generator for 12hrs daily for a month?
Electricity is expensive!
Those who really want it, pay heavily!!

Thank you very much. Some Nigerians at times appear bereft of deep thinking. You want power, yet you do not want to pay the cost.

blaise26abj:
An era will come with this stupid initiative that people will have meters but no electricity. An era where electricity is sold to the highest bidder to the detriment of the poorer Nigerians. The discos will have no motivation to improve as long as a segment of the populace can pay. Whoever implemented that initiative is the enemy of the people.

Solutions. Why not grant licenses to independent companies that can use gas to generate for small clusters to operate instead. Estates like Magodo can get a company to produce and distribute electricity for them. Stupid and selfish people in position of power

1. I see a lot ignorance in your submission
2. Reality check - Landing cost of a Unit (KWh) of Power = ~N40. End user price for domestic consumers= ~N27. The margins hitherto were subsidised by the industrial clusters, many of whom have now "resorted" generating their own power.
3. The decision to privatise power means that we are expected to pay for what we end up consuming; "rich" or "poor". What we are experiencing today is actually a transition to a willing-buyer-willing-seller & free market business. Investors will shy away from markets where you subsidize over-regulate as it signals problems to recoup investments.
4. This arrangement with Magodo residents is not new. It is part of what was in the privatisation arrangements that was not activated by the previous governments. If Gencos have excess power to sell, and Discos are not taking it, and there are clusters willing to pay for it, it does stand logic on its head not to bridge this gap
5. Pray tell, how will metered-people have no electricity as you suggested? You left this hanging. How will people that are paying "equitably" for power will not be supply power? It does not make sense.
6. How will power be sold to the highest bidder at the expense of "poor Nigerians"? You want power to continue to be subsidized yet you alluded that an era is coming where power will not be available. How can power be available when people cannot pay up to the landing cost of a unit of power?
7. The Discos now have an incentive to collect more power from the GENCOs and sell. Prior to now Discos had been "dropping" (load-shedding) power supplied from GENCOs under various excuses of under-recovery, Metering gaps etc. When people sign-on to schemes like these, it is an incentive that both the Gencos & Discos will break even and make profit.
8. Why not license independent companies to provide power for small clusters you ask. First off there is already of provision for that in NERC regulation, that independent companies can be licensed up to 2MW to provide power for small clusters. The big question is, aside from few, why are companies not taking the option at the moment? When you consider the additional investments in terms of laying their own off-grid infrastructures (they cannot use Disco's infrastructure except they sell their produced power to the Discos) and the landing cost of such power, you will realize that this current one is probably a cheaper deal.
9. Finally, it seems abusing government almost all the time is one of the easiest thing to do, but I suggest we something check our knowledge gaps sometimes before we do so.

In it, Onwuhara does a pitch-perfect impersonation of a middle-aged white doctor calling in a prescription to a CVS (CVS, Fortune 500) pharmacy. The prescription was for Valtrex, a herpes medication. The patient was Tobe Onwuhara. At last, investigators had a name. They pulled a Texas DMV photo of Onwuhara. It matched the image of the man in the hoodie from the Verizon video
