Rubbish !!! .....You guys did worse.You prevented, Threatened and beat up people that are perceived to be igbos during the last general elections and nothing happened. May Nigeria happen to you all. Nigeria needs a change of guard.

Was is not Buhari,Tinubu, El rufai etc that brought in the terrorists to pressurise and booth out GEJ ?
.

sleek214:
And the only credible leader is Atiku, not the terrorist kwankwanso that has partner with the despicable, desperate, repackaged Agulu fraud

I remember when some people on this platform were wailing that the United States shouldn't be invited to help fight terrorism in Nigeria, that it was a breech of sovereignty. Some even accused the Igbos of single handed bringing USA into Nigerian matter. Una how far now ?

belikewater:
At this point I am getting tired of most of my Ibo friends assuming I’m automatically supporting Tinubu just because I am Yoruba.

Do they honestly think that Peter Obi defeated Tinubu in the last Presidential election in Lagos due to votes ONLY from Igbo people? Do these people reason logically at all? In a state that has majority of Yorubas Peter Obi defeated Tinubu and they honestly can’t do the maths?

This is nothing more than projecting their own frame of thinking at me because come to think of it if the situation were reversed with Tinubu being Peter Obi would any one of them have voted for Tinubu?

Due to their biased mindset and my right to exercise my free will I have now decided to support ASHIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU with my full chest! I hate bigots who especially believe everyone else to be bigots! All of una dey craze!

Cutting the nose to spite the face.Low IQ argument. Suffering knows no tribe.

Laugh wan kill me....Na this ones be the past governors ?...Them don't retire since naa....No electoral value at all.

*Petrol sales drop to 1,000 litres daily from 10,000, Marketers say*
Chike Olisah by Chike Olisah April 2, 2026

petrol pump
Oil marketers have revealed that most filling stations that used to sell 10,000 litres of petrol daily are now selling about 1,000 litres, sometimes even as low as 300 litres, per day.

This is according to industry operators who say the sharp rise in pump prices has significantly altered consumer behaviour and reduced demand for petroleum products.

They said that many motorists are seriously cutting down on fuel consumption, as most of them are buying just five or four litres of the product.

The development comes amid sustained volatility in the downstream petroleum sector, driven by rising global crude oil prices linked to the Middle East conflict involving the United States of America, Iran and Israel.

The surge in prices has pushed petrol from an average of N839 per litre to over N1,350 per litre, while diesel has risen from N1,340 to above N1,750 per litre in recent weeks.

Marketers say the situation has weakened purchasing power, reduced sales volumes, and forced both consumers and operators to adjust to a new market reality.

What they are saying
Oil marketers say the spike in petrol prices has led to a sharp drop in daily sales volumes and a noticeable shift in consumer behaviour, with many motorists opting for cheaper transport alternatives.

They said motorists are abandoning luxury vehicles for cheaper alternatives and reducing fuel consumption as petrol prices surge across Nigeria.

“The way the crude oil is going up, there is no magic about that. It is reflective of their production cost, with the crude oil cost. We are not coping again, we are losing it… Most stations that can sell up to 10,000 litres in a day are now selling 1,000 and 2,000, and some 300 litres,” said Chinedu Ukadike, National Publicity Secretary of IPMAN.
“They are buying 5 litres and 4 litres. And most people, their behavioural attitudes have changed. They are parking their luxurious cars, using economic cars… some are using EVs, tricycles and other means of transportation,” he added.
“It has led to higher working capital requirements… margins have also become tighter due to price volatility and reduced consumer purchasing power. Additionally, demand has softened slightly,” said oil marketer Alhaji Isa Muhammad.
Marketers say the combined effect of high prices and reduced consumption has significantly impacted turnover across filling stations nationwide.

More Insights
Industry operators say structural challenges in Nigeria’s refining capacity and pricing dynamics have worsened the impact of rising global oil prices on domestic fuel costs.

Marketers noted that the absence of fully functional government-owned refineries has reduced the ability to moderate prices in the domestic market.
They argued that if the NNPC refineries were operational, they could provide a benchmark for pricing and introduce some level of market stability.
According to operators, reliance on market forces under a deregulated regime means global crude oil prices and exchange rates continue to dictate local pump prices.
They added that even with local refining, factors such as efficiency, scale, and transparency would determine the extent of price moderation.

Ukadike said, ‘’NNPC, which was the government model that normally leads in price change, is now following behind, is even lagging. The NNPC, who was the pioneer of price change, determines price in Nigeria, is no longer around the corner. So, that is the problem. Had it been NNPC is refining if they set their own price, because the market is competitive, the other refineries will not. That is where we find ourselves.’’
We are diversifying
Marketers also disclosed that many operators are diversifying into alternative energy products and improving operational efficiency to stay afloat amid declining petrol demand.

Muhammad said, ‘’We are adapting by improving operational efficiency and tightening cost controls across the business. We are also optimizing supply chains, reducing wastage, and adjusting pricing strategies to remain competitive while staying afloat.
‘’In some cases, we are diversifying into related energy products and services to cushion the impact of declining petrol demand. Strong financial discipline and customer retention strategies have been key to navigating this period.’’
Ukadike said that most producing nations are no longer exporting petroleum products as they are trying to sustain local demand.

He added that if Nigeria could triple its crude oil production and exports, it could become an exporter of refined petroleum products with our refineries working instead of looking to import.

He also said that these petroleum products are available, noting that the situation could have been worse if there had been product scarcity with more pressure on Nigerians. He said that leaves the masses to only battle with the issue of affordability.

What you should know
The surge in petrol prices is part of a broader energy cost increase affecting multiple sectors of the Nigerian economy.

Nairametrics recently reported that aviation fuel (Jet A1) prices have surged above N2,000 per litre, more than double pre-conflict levels of N950–N1,000.
Industry experts say jet fuel accounts for over 40% of airline operating costs, meaning higher fuel prices could lead to increased airfares and flight disruptions.
The ongoing Middle East conflict involving the United States, Iran, and Israel has pushed global crude oil prices above $117 per barrel, driving energy costs higher globally.
The current trend highlights how global oil market shocks are directly reshaping consumer behaviour and business operations in Nigeria’s energy sector, with affordability emerging as a major concern for households and businesses alike.

The Original post doesn't not make sense. We are all in Nigeria and can testify that the frequent " Collapse of the national grid" became a constant phenomenon in APC government. Note , we have been having the collapse randomly previously but the rate of collapse since APC took over has increased. You can fact check me.The incompetents are in charge.

helinues:
We are yet to see the receipts of the paid $9m to the lobbyists

Oga be waiting oh...

This administration has just destroyed the beauty of mobile and USSD transactions.Banks will bear the brunt as customers will flock banking halls now for transfers.
This administration does not have conscience. Stamp duty,SMS charges,Card maintenance charges,Account maintainance charges,7.5 vat.On one account oh.
They take so much from you,Without giving anything back.

He did on purpose to punish Eric Chelle for not using him enough in this tournament and bringing him on only a minute to go in this semi final.
He walked to the ball non chalantly , Chewing a bubble gum and even popping it before playing a tepid pass to the Moroccan keeper.
Even after missing the penalty he showed no remorse.
This should be the last of him in Super Eagles.

Remember he wasn't the only that missed but his is clearly and act of sabotage.

Stupid Manchester united board that saw Osimhen and went and bought Sesko an unproved striker at the highest level.

Nigeria as a whole is a reflection of our leadership. Me,you and everyone that is a Nigerian has failed in placing our best hands in leadership positions.

NFF should just be scrapped.All our problems in football starts from there.With their bad choices of football administrators and coaches they have set Nigeria back 20 years in football development. There is no way we can get it with the present NFF they are too comfortable with failure.

Yet they want to politicians salary by 114%.....God abeg save us from these people with no conscience. Let them know that every bad decision they take hammers 🔨 the ordinary man deeper into hunger and desolation. No relief any where just battered from all side . Gush !!!

Has anyone in the present govt and NFF bothered to visit them even after a month of his demise .Obi now did and it became a problem. Hypocrites

NOETHNICITY:
So even the Obi effect is nolonger relevant?
Wow. 2027 will be very interesting

Anambra will always APGA for any internal ( Anambra ) Election but they vote differently in presidential election. If you to check Obi's strength remove him from LP.

Anambra state is not a swing state .Their voting pattern is predictable. They will never go far from APGA. Few will vote other parties but majority will vote APGA. APGA is entrenched in Anambra state.The present governor Soludo contested on PDP platform and failed woefully, he had to decamp to APGA before he can sniff the office of the governor in Anambra. That's how strobg APGA is in that state..
If APGA does well it's not because of soludo but the immovable grassroot political strength of the party.

Walahi we for kukuma leave Nigeria for PDP hand.Those guys were not saints in any way but they sure had direction, Spread, nationalistic ,internal and external structure etc....Not this anyhowness we are seeing now. We have never had it so bad since 2015.

Nigeria can only be saved by Nigerians.

yarimo:
And
No any single school in his agulu village, eyes service donation . Charity beging at home

How is donating to your Alma mater eye service ?...When is our president doing his own eye service and donating to his own Alma mater ?

Bayo Onanuga just regurgitated what they have been discussing in their WhatsApp group.This is what they are discussing amongst themselves.

They also used miracle centres in the resit exams under 48 hrs ? ..I call this bull*hit.Any report by Jamb recently concerning the Southeast is considered tainted as they have layed a precedent to doubt everything from it.Claiming glitches by mass failing most students from Southeast, Setting a resit exam in 48hrs and turning now around to say the same zone has most miracle centres.
Every region was complicit except Southwest..I laugh in swahili.

Front page material....laudable achievement. If a Nigerian committed a crime in UK they will splash it every where.This is positive one, let's splash it as well.

Presidential uppercut....Lol.Coming from Tinubu to his former ally.Political terrain is always unstable. No permanent friends,No permanent foes.

Laughing in Chinese...So the south will use their slot and also use the Northern slot ?...He tried to sound clever but ended up sounding hollow.

Nigeria should have a channel dedicated to it on DSTV.The drama and Opera never ends.From one disaster to another.If not for Divine mercy Nigeria would have imploded since.
Nations have crumbled for far less issues and matters that happened in Nigeria and no one even blinked an eye .

Guestmale:
The man Oloyede has proven himself as man of integrity,he has make examination malpractice in jamb examination almost impossible but it seems Nigeria is jinxed or there are evil forces that didn't wish Nigeria well. Whenever any good personality hold a position and he or she seems to be getting it right and positive results one scandal or the order must rear its ugly head to discredit his or her good works.Kemi Adeosun former minister of finance during former President Buhari's regime and The current Minister of Interior Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo comes to mind.

To the best of public knowledge the mistake is not a deliberate mistake from Prof. Oloyede but has took full responsibility for the glitches in the last examination and he has also provided a way out, therefore he should continue the good work he is doing in jamb,those calling for his resignation are either doing it out of political mischief or those that are aiding and abetting examination malpractices who Prof. has removed food from their mouth.

What of the second blunder he committed by announcing a resit of the exam in 48hrs knowing fully well that some of these students are currently writing waec. Some have moved out of the location they wrote the jamb, Some are not even inbthe country etc and most especially these students need to revise before going back to write the exam.If the jamb boss gives them 2 weeks or 3 weeks to organize and prepare themselves for the resit will heaven fall ?

All these bunglings makes it look like a hatchet job, a predetermined plan to persecute those innocent children.

If want to prove a point or the authenticity of anything...You will first place the original and the fake one side by side to compare and contrast...pls post the two mbok.

Warrior99:
You are already falling into their trap!

The "glitch" was an inside job, an act of sabotage.

A spill-out from the hundreds of miracle centres discovered in the South East, and the "Mmesoma" saga; IT'S CORRUPTION FIGHTING BACK!

Oloyede's time as registrar is almost up, BUT acceding to this disguised "blackmail" should be the last thing he does.

Instead, the ICT TEAM responsible for the "Human Error" should be named, investigated, and prosecuted.

Assuming you are correct that it was an insiders job, what about the second blunder of announcing a resit in 48hrs ?...Without taking cognizant of the fact that students are writing waec same period.That many of the students have changed location, Many have to plan for the logistics to move to their exam venue knowing fully well that the official time for the exam is 6:30am.They were also caught off guard cos many of the students need to brush up on the papers or do revision of the particular papers they have to write.Their a so many variables in a scenario like this.

I ask will the jamb registrar die or get diminished if he gives the students 2 or 3 weeks to prepare themselves and resit the exam ?....Before you judge this look at this matter through the lens of the students and parents who will go through the trauma of preparing themselves or their wards for a second time on an exam they had already believed they had written before...Peace onto you.

Gorem2013:
Meanwhile the head of ICT at Jamb is Igbo

Number affected in Lagos is more than number affected the whole SE

Very pathetic and backward set of people

It doesn't matter.Heads must roll across board on those who conspired to retard and retrogress the future of our kids. Do you know the emotional trauma such a thing caused this children?...Apparently you didn't hear of the girl that committed suicide cos the system failed her and gave her a score that isn't hers.
If you play with the life and future of your kids others don't.
May Nigeria never happen to you.

ALTERNATEID:
It is unfortunate things have degenerated to this level no thanks to the dangerous activities of Obidients who attempted to steal political power for the Ibos in Lagos in 2023. If not, Yoruba's don't really care about things like this.

Baba don't try to change the narrative. Was the Obidients in existence when the Oba of Lagos threatened to drown all Igbos in Lagos if they didn't vote for a particular candidate?.

Desperation to win election and stay relevant by all means made some political elites to delve into the dangerous and murky waters of tribal politics.

[quote author=Wallade post=135371500]With improved technology, highly trained information technology staff and computer engineers and improved supervision, there will be less malfunctions and gradually, we will have better CBT examination systems in all CBT centres.

Baba be sincere, there was no glitch. This is an intentional act to suppress scores from a particular region and state.It is no coincidence that no other region was affected out of the 6 regions wholly like southeast.

This is scandalous and reprehensible. Heads must roll.Tears can not suffice in this kind of situation as his character has been tarnished. Any exam he conducts going forward will be viewed through the prism of this his huge failure hence his need to step down.

This is too glaring and can't be covered up cos it's sticking out like a sour thumb.

This man has not learnt anything from the havoc the unprepared subsidy removal caused. This time around the dead body of starved and impoverished Nigerians ho surplus.
