DickDastardLION:
It's all scam ... that's who we are. Even the word Nigeria is forged

All the money is resting in someones account.

Forty days ago, the head of Nigeria’s military issued his soldiers an ultimatum: Bring me Abubakar Shekau, the head of Boko Haram, dead or alive.

A lot has changed over the course of the manhunt. Among other developments, Nigeria’s long-absent leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, has finally returned to the country after three months abroad on sick leave. And the Nigerian military has secured the $593 million purchase of 12 U.S. attack helicopters and weapons, ending a yearslong saga.

But one thing that remains the same is the threat posed by Boko Haram, which carries on blowing up Nigerian citizens on a near-daily basis, and the status of Shekau, who continues to direct attacks from the shadows, according to experts.

See what Buhari has caused. If he didn't arrest Nnamdi Kanu, all these nonsense won't be happening. They have failed to provide education. These guys have been promised top position and salary in an imaginary Biafra Army. If they have serious jobs, they won't line up in black outfits like undertakers in a burial ceremony rehearsing this comedy.

rheether:
If it's Nigeria they will ask us to start praying to God for help

If it is Nigeria, lie Mohammed will tell us that he met North Korea leader, that the threat is over. After the blast they will set up committee to look at the immediate and remote cause of the attack.

Delegation to do what now with all these SUVs?

Power Distance
This dimension deals with the fact that all individuals in societies are not equal – it expresses the attitude of the culture towards these inequalities amongst us. Power Distance is defined as the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organisations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally.

Nigeria scores high on this dimension (score of 80) which means that people accept a hierarchical order in which everybody has a place and which needs no further justification. Hierarchy in an organization is seen as reflecting inherent inequalities, centralization is popular, subordinates expect to be told what to do and the ideal boss is a benevolent autocrat

fake news!

Make video? You're obviously one those demonic enemies of men pummelling ordinary people in Nigeria. You and your cronies stole the funds for the power I should have used to charge my video camera, fuel is sold for N145 per litre, I have not eaten since yesterday, and you want me to sing? Because you rate me lower than an animal you want to give me a paltry N100k from the billions you stole for taking all the trouble to shoot a video. Singing, shooting and editing? How much do you give your olosho chick for your one minute shag with your limp peenis ? Abeg bros, keep your blood money. As you can see, you are on lone lane on this. Nigeria is a fraud. Gba be.

If Buhari, were to be from Southern Nigeria, both North and South coalition would have forced him to resign. But there is this unexplained thing about this man that makes many to just watch him do anything. We are all cowards in this country. Including me. How long are we going to remain in comatose like this?

I've seen this guy's with my very two eyes, he hops on one leg around their village, I thought of drawing media attention to him, but our media are more interested in what politicians are up to. Glad this is happening.

Source? Or adonblivit.

Military coup loading. All the anarchy are phantom menace

Long arm of the law catching up to him. He is a disgrace to his grandpa's legacy.

I Don blow that babe givam 2k for transport. Let the puppy waste money, after all, we can't verify the source.

Off course so that he will continue to plant stooges that will help him loot and impoverish helpless Edo people. Osho olosho idiot.

In 97% order, the rest of the country should wait till 2023

NIGERIA ARMY AND THEIR HIGHHANDEDNESS IS INFECTIOUS.

1. Islam permit killing of those that are not innocent. (Innocent from/of what) (Christianity: THOU SHALL NOT KILL)
2. We demand an explanation to the instruction in Surah 9 vs 5.

Pluskid:


Not that I'm quoting you for any long drama, but i want you to understand one thing. If someone who calls himself a Muslim, goes on a rampage killing people, that's him, that's not islam. He is not following the teachings of our Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). There is no place in the Holy Qur'an or hadith(saying, action or silent approval of the Holy Prophet Muhammad) that says[b] killing innocent people [/b]in the name of jihad is allowed. That's just ridiculous. What I see is just some people with something seriously wrong with their brain killing innocent people. Just because they're Muslims (which I probably think they're not) doesn't mean what they did was according to the teachings of Islam.

This is a country that is not among top 100 cattle breeders in the world, yet people are slaughtered daily for this animals. Nigerians should wake up and say NO to open grazing, it is politically motivated aimed at foisting domination on the rest of the rest of the country. Fulani, go back to the ranch .

Truth coming out!

Exclusive: Awo regretted not supporting Yoruba break-away
By Akinwole Ojo
Late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo in his last days, regretted the fact that a separate Yoruba nation did not emerge during the 1967-70 civil war, confidential sources told Irohinoodua as many faithful this month dedicate weeks of memorial to the icon who passed on May 1987, exactly 30 years ago.
Irohinoodua was informed by a close aide of Chief Awolowo that the former Premier of Western Region expressed deep regrets that he supported the unity of Nigeria instead of allowing the largely Yoruba South West to delink from Nigeria during the civil war.
The mainly Igbo South East had waged a protracted and heroic battle to delink from the then confederation. The 30 month old campaign was aimed at having an independent Biafra nation for the Igbos and their immediate neigbours. Awolowo was in prison as at the time the 1966 coup took place. He was later released and made the Federal Commissioner for Finance and also the Vice Chairman of the Federal Executive Council, (FEC).
In a confidential document sourced by our correspondent, Awo, in early 1987 divulged to a confidant, Chief Micheal Omoyele that his, (Awo) biggest regret was that a sovereign Yoruba nation did not emerge during the Biafra campaign. This may suggest that later political and economic developments in Nigerian post war history constituted a significant disappointment to the late sage.
Chief Omoleye said “ Chief Awolowo was never known to take action after deep thought and to regret it later. On my honour, I state here that the greatest regret of Chief Obafemi Awolowo was that he did not excise the Western Region out of Nigeria just as Endeley of the Cameroon did before the attainment of independence in 1960. Chief Awolowo personally told me this during my private discussion with him shortly before he died. I have kept this issue from the public because I thought our Northern brothers were sincere in their political programmes.”
He said further “What brought up the matter of Awo’s regret was the revelation which I had that Oduduwa might have sent Awolowo to the Yoruba race instead of wanting to rule Nigeria to which the Chief replied: “I never, for once, thought of it that way. But it would have been a different story today if I had concentrated my energy to advance the cause of the Yoruba race. We would have shown them the way even though I might have been labeled a tribal leader.” Chief Omoleye, a journalist and former Editor of Sketch Newspaper said he told him in the private conversation that “it would have been better to be the head of a rat than being the tail of an elephant.” He said Awo later told him that his most profound regret was to have kept the Yoruba nation in the Nigerian fold when he should have worked for the excision of the South West for a sovereign Yoruba nation. Omoleye thought Awo’s decision to share his thoughts with him must have been informed by the expectation that the journalist would make public Awo’s position at least at a point in Nigerian history.
Many scholars however have continued to put the decision of the Yoruba ruling class to support Nigerian unity at the time on their lack of an effective strategic position through which the campaign would have been waged, for instance, the Yoruba military core never for once supported the possible self determination of the Yoruba South West.
Since independence, the country has continued to squelch in the mud of corruption, nepotism, insecurity, arms proliferation, immorality, hunger and starvation of the multitude amidst the lies and deceit of an inherently corrupt political class supported by equally greedy and self-serving middle and intellectual class, pushing the country of 180 million people to one of the poorest in the world

How Nigerian Petrol Attendants Cheat You In Filling Stations and precautions to cut the cheating attendants
By Daramola Babalola

The rise in the price of petrol from ₦86.50/L to ₦145 Naira/L still leaves a heavy toll on Nigerians, most have gotten used to the excruciating fact that a litre of petrol now ₦145 Naira.

Sadly, as if the skyrocketing price of petrol isn’t enough, the ‘friendly’ fuel station attendants have found numerous tricks to add to their regular income, and undercut the customers who at the first place are paying through their noses.

The nefarious activity perpetrated by petrol attendants nationwide has gone unnoticed by many motorists as they drive into the filling stations to fill their tanks.

Fuel Station scams are not something new. There are plenty of foul plays which can leave you cheated at a fuel station.

Why do the petrol attendants cheat you?

First of all, the petrol attendants in Nigeria are one of the least paid in the country, infact an average petrol attendant is paid between ₦10,000 - ₦15,000 monthly, but a smart attendant can make his salary in one day by cheating customers.

Ideally, when a petrol attendant resumes for work, he/she takes the reading on the meter on the fuel dispenser, which they call The Opening Meter, and after they close for the day, the reading on the meter, called The Closing Meter is taken by the attendant. Then, they multiply the difference in the readings by the cost per litre, which is the amount they deliver to the manager. If there is any surplus cash, the attendant takes it.

Unfortunately, the surplus money is simply a product of manipulation/cheating of petrol buyers by the fuel attendants on a daily basis.

How Nigerian Petrol Attendants Cheat Customers In Filling Stations

I have compiled a list of some of the most common dirty tactics which are used to cheat customers at Nigerian fuel stations based on my research and conversation with some petrol attendants across the country.

TRICK 1: Recall or TIM/CAL button

On the fuel dispenser there is usually a button labelled ‘Recall, TIM/CAL’ or any other label, depending on the machine. The essence of the button is to enable the attendant to see the past sales.
If you want to see your last ten sales, you just press Recall, then the number you want to see etc, depending on the number you want, and it shows you the amount.

Beyond seeing past sales,petrol attendants use it to cheat and make money from the customers.

For example, if a petrol attendant sold ₦5,000 worth of fuel to (Customer A), and the next customer (Customer B) also wants to buy ₦5,000., the attendant will clear the screen to ₦00.0 and tell Customer B to look at it (A way of gaining your trust and making you relax) then when they observe that the second customer (Customer B) Isn’t paying attention, they will sell some quantity, like ₦3,500 for example and press Stop or Cancel, depending on the machine, then press Recall 1, and Ok,With that, ₦5,000 will appear on the screen and that is what the customer will see on the meter, believing the sale is complete, meanwhile the attendant recalled the previous sale.

My investigations revealed that this can be done in less than one second.

Infact, some attendants could go to the extent of writing out some past sales on a paper where they can easily have a glance to know which number to recall when a customer is distracted or looks away, since many people prefer to buy based on price and not litre.

For example Recall 1 can be ₦5,000, Recall 2 - ₦3,000, Recall 3 - ₦2,000, so based on the customer they want to cheat, they look at the paper to recall, and the customers would think the machine was fast, so they wouldn’t always suspect anything

TRICK 2: Fake hang the nozzle

Almost every petrol consumer is knowledgeable that when the nozzle is hanged on the pump, the readings revert to zero. Thus the fuel attendants have also found a way to manipulate it to make some money for their pockets.

What they do is that they gently hang the nozzle, such that it won’t click to rub off the old sales and revert to zero, so,they fake hang the nozzle,while the dispenser is still running, so if a new customer comes, they simply continue from where they stopped from the previous customer.

This trick is used a lot during fuel scarcity, or when customers are in a hurry to buy fuel.

This trick is also easier for the fuel attendant if the last sale was in a small quantity.

TRICK 3: The Okada/Keke Napep advantage

Most times, the Okada and Keke Napep's tend to buy petrol in small quantities, for example like 2 or 3 Litres of fuel.

After dispensing fuel for the Okada/Keke Napep, if the next buyer intends to buy fuel in his car or a big jerry can, the fuel attendant will use the Okada/Keke Napep advantage, because of the small quantity sold previously and continue to dispense fuel into your car tank without clearing the previous sale.

For example, if the previous sale to an Okada, Keke Napep or even a commercial bus is about ₦350, the fuel attendant will gently place the nozzle, and naturally, when the next customer (The Car owner) sees that the attendant removed the nozzle from the dispensing machine, he believes that it started from zero. However, it is not always the case, thus the car owner is automatically cheated by ₦350.

TRICK 4: The Fill up your tank system

A report culled from dailyfinance.com says filling up the tank may be another way to lose money and fuel, because when the pump clicks off automatically, no additional fuel enters the tank. “Instead, fuel is likely being diverted through the pump’s vapour recovery system and back into the station’s tank, which means you are paying for petrol that you are not getting.

“More importantly, the car needs space in its tank for fuel vapours to expand. Overfilling can force gas into the car’s carbon filter, leading to poor performance, reduced mileage or costly repairs. So, the next time you want to buy fuel, don’t top off your tank, it’s good for your car and even better for your wallet,” the report said.

TRICK 5: The faulty meter
Some petrol pumps have rigged meters that start ticking even before petrol starts to flow from the hose. Have you ever gone to a filling station to buy fuel and it takes lesser time to fill your tank, compared to other places? This is as a result of the meters that have been tampered with, the attendant will make you believe the particular fuel dispenser is faster or slower than normal, depending on how the meters were manipulated.

Nigeria’s petroleum regulator, Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR,saddled with the responsibility of regulating, monitoring and enforcing the laws in the sector, used the Seraphin Can to expose filling stations involved in the nefarious act in Lagos recently.

The ten-liter Seraphin Can is used by the DPR to ascertain the exact dispensing meter measurement of filling stations. When filled to the level of ten liters, dispensing meters that have been adjusted will show above ten liters on the display board. When this occurs, the filling station is shut by DPR officials.

DPR said over 500 filling stations had been shut for under-dispensing and other related offences.

TRICK 6: Using Unnecessarily Longer Dispenser Pipe

Pumps save on a lot of petrol when they use long pipes.

A perfectly good meter will show that a certain amount of petrol has been pumped out, but that amount hasn't reached your tank -- some of it is still in the pipe, and it goes back into the pump. Through the day, the number of litres that stations save can be enormous, making the attendant accumulate surplus cash from undispensed fuel.

TRICK 7: Get friendly, distract and cheat
How many times have you visited the filling station and you notice that the fuel attendant is trying to chat you up. If he is not talking about the government, religion or politics, he is most likely to dive into football, especially if he noticed you are a fan of a particular club.

'Oga mi up Arsenal o, me i be Barcelona fan, we go beat Arsenal all the time'

The trick is to make you get very comfortable, argue with him and take your eyes off the fuel meter.
Sometimes the attendant can even get his colleague to distract you, so he can focus on fuel pump to cheat you.

He can ask you questions like..
'Sir/madam do you need engine oil' or 'Sir you need to balance your wheels'

TRICK 8: Pretend not to hear you, fake ignorance, smile, apologize

This is another trick used by fuel attendants, when you request to fill up your car or
jerrycan for a particular amount, for example ₦4000, the attendant will sell only ₦1000 worth of fuel, when you ask him why he didn't fill up for ₦4000, the attendant will apologize and smile innocently and say that he/she heard you say you wanted to buy ₦1000 worth of fuel, and thus pretend to continue filling the remaining ₦3000, by pretending to reset the meter and fill up your ₦4000 worth of petrol and so you pay ₦4000

But the attendant just cheated you, and this is how...

He did not reset the meter to ₦0.00 , he continued from the ₦1000 point till he got to ₦3000, so in reality you only get the petrol worth ₦3000, but pay ₦4000

TRICK 9: Intervening the Dispenser Nozzle

It is generally found that the pump attendants keep their fingers tight on the nozzle and interrupt the flow of fuel manually. In this way, the required amount of fuel gets short. With these type of tricks, the pump staff saves probably litres of oil in a single day that accumulates to his personal surplus profit for the day.

TRICK 10: Fuel Adulteration
The simplest and the most effective way of cheating used by almost all the petrol pumps is the adulteration of fuel. Usually, the dealers chemically adulterate the petrol by adding Naphtha, which is a byproduct and is as dense as petrol. It does not leave residue and is cheaper than its counterpart.

TRICK 11: Two sides of price indicators
In this particular trick, manipulations are done by pump attendants who normally strike when motorists are preoccupied with other thoughts. Most times, pump attendants are so daring.

Motorists should be more careful with pumps that have two sides of price indicators—back and forth screen, displaying amount of money dispensed.

For several reasons, some of which are technical, each side of the screen could show a different price. For example, ₦5000 and the other screen could display about ₦4000.

If you requested to buy fuel worth ₦5000 and the a buyer from other side of the pump is also buying ₦5000 worth of fuel, if you are not watching close enough, a crafty attendant can dispense fuel worth ₦4000 and point to the other side pump, hoodwinking you into believing that he/she has dispensed the amount you required, meanwhile you have lost ₦1000 as the price indicator was for the other pump.

Now to counter these 11 tricks above, here are some of the counter-tricks or precautions to cut the cheating attendants


Always, get off from your car, lock the vehicle and stand close to petrol tank and see the meter readings when buying fuel
Check the meter reading after opening the petrol tank or before fueling starts and again at the very end.
Keep a continuous watch at the meter reading and at the fueling person, throughout your turn.
If you develop doubt over a particular petrol pump, then AVOID that particular petrol pump in the future like the plague. I have also seen that there are petrol pumps which do not indulge in such activities. Identify such pumps and try to fill from these pumps only
In any case, don’t believe the attendants and NEVER EVER TAKE YOUR EYES FROM THE METER. Get it set to zero and do not take your eyes off till the last drop comes out of the nozzle
Ask the attendant firmly to keep his hands off the nozzle and wait for the auto cut-off to kick-in.
Park the car a bit away from the machine and let the attendant stretch the pipe to your fuel lid. Ask him to hold the nozzle at certain height post he is done fueling up the tank in order to allow the residual to flow in.
Always check for zero before they start filling, even if the petrol pump is overcrowded.
Reduce conversations with the fuel attaendant, and if you must talk to him/her, please do it without taking your eyes off the meter for one second. Also make sure the meter is set at ₦0.00 before the attendants starts to fill up your tank/keg.
Do not take your eyes off the meter till the last drop, don't get distracted by counting the money you want to give him/her, wait till he/she is done dispensing the fuel.
End the transaction right there, in case the meter is stopped for any reason.
Do not hurry and always pay at the end of the transaction.
Ask for a printed receipt every time, as far as possible.
Always keep a watch on the attendant and on the meter. If you are suspicious about a certain fuel station, step out of your car and ask the attendant to move away from the dispenser while filling. If you still feel that he is cheating stop him from filling your tank and call the manager and lodge your complain. If nobody at the station admits their fraud or deny any assistance, reach out to DPR https://dpr.gov.ng/index/contact-us/

As we visit the filling station today, always remember The Golden Rule: Never take your eyes off the meter
