Politics › Re: Peter Obi & Soludo Hug Each Other After Soludo Criticized Him Publicly (Photos) by membranus: 2:51pm On Nov 24, 2022
Chukabiz:
In Eight years' time, Soludo will start regretting his attacks on Peter Obi because we all know he definitely will be contesting... No matter how good he performs in Anambra, all he said will be remembered.

This, I have seen.
Anambra is APGA stronghold, if the party fields him as their candidate, he will surely win.

When l read the bolded part, in the first line of your Statement, l felt convinced that my initial assessment (without any offence to your person or any form of rudeness to you) is just spot on.

How can anyone say "If you dont support Israel, you are not a Christian!? shocked shocked
Where on earth, did that kind of mentality come from?
What has Israel got to do with Christianity or was it not these same Jews that murdered jesus Christ the Son fo God the most High?
Even Jesus Christ "codedly" cursed them before he died by saying "the Kingdom of God has been taken from the Jews and given to the Gentiles".

Are you aware that in israel of TODAY, they dont read or even believe in the Bible, the "Dictionary" of Christians? grin
Guy, l am not insulting you but just stating the fact, from the evidence on the table: You need to get your head out of this brain-washing!
Maybe you are one of those people who even thing they cant be SAVED unless they make Pilgrimage to Israel, to go and kiss some Stones. grin

Anyway, l wont even support my own Parents, if they do something wrong, l will POLITELY point it out to them and seek that they make recompense. It is EVIL to support Evil, no matter who is doing it.
Not to talk of this murderous country, the only country in the world that still practice Apartheid and are a threat to World Peace? huh


BTW: I am not denying that the Jews have been persecuted in the past but it so happens that it is those that have suffered persecution, who know the pain of persecution, that turn out to be the worst abusers and oppressors.
What do you call what the Jews are doing to the Palestinian?
Why not let them have their own country and build a Wall round your own Country if you want, as long as the Palestinians can control their own destiny, their borders, their water, their electricity, their education, their food supply, no one will give a single hoot about what Israel does with itself.
Putting almost 4Million Palestinians in an Open Prison, is Evil of the highest Order, worse than the Holocaust

You cant be Evil and be doing Evil to others, and then use "your past" to justify it.
That is what Israel is doing, today.
I have seen that you are a committed Anti-semite, and to avoid further insults from you (which you are adept at by the way, you could even make a career out of that), I leave you to your rightful sentiments.

However, the ends will justify the means deployed by the Israelis to survive in their enemy prone Middle Eastern region.

I will be your president one day and mark it here that I will grant you your Biafra whether you want it or not from where i will commence to build a 30ft steel reinforced concrete wall complete with razor wire and laser guided Gatling guns every 300ft with a moat of landmines surrounding this fencing to enclose and keep you from the rest of humanity.

You will pay for the construction of the wall and in this same future, safari like expeditions using velocopters will be arranged for paying customers to have an aerial view of your descent back to barbarity.

We will charge each tourist $100 per hour for each tour over your blighted yeast ( insurance fees not inclusive ) .

You will be allowed the barest amount of supplies to keep you from cannibalizing each other completely (for a fee of course ).

Any of you wanting to venture out of your containment zone beyond the Great MagicBisjop Wall , (has a nice ring to it), will only be allowed so after completing a survival challenge involving life and limb threatening televised games.

Only the best of your women will be allowed such similar privelage after being voted by a paying public in a televised reality show titled ; Free the OSU Jewess.

Benefits

1. No debts from subsidy...because we won't need to spend budget money on subsides anymore.

2.As for 'it becomes additional money to loot'......that is why we are a democracy. We now have the power to put pressure on our leaders to ensure money is spent.

3.Back to benefits. No subsidy means that refining petrol makes sense from an economic view...which means that there would be more investment in refineries at home (Dangote will have competiton)...which means more jobs, directly and indirectly...and more tax revenues for government to spend on the budget.

4.Finally, it means that we no longer waste scarce forex eventually on importation and subsidy...which means more dollars available...which means....naira value goes up, and 'prices of petrol eventually drop' so to speak.
All these your points for removing the subsidy only holds water in a government which have tight reins on how the revenues of the country are being spent. And not in Nigeria where a common Accountant General of the nation have the opportunity and effrontery to singly loot N170bn of its commonwealth, and nothing is being done about it. Or where a former NNPC head hide a private stash of foreign currencies in a safe in his village, or where a former Minister of Petroleum Resources personally looted almost $3bn of the national treasury.

Or moreover Dangote refinery is going to come on course in 2023, so the FX spent on oil importation will remain in the country, and the subsidy part of it will be lessened. And Dangote does not need a competitor, its refining capacity is enough for the national needs and above.

And as for democracy and pressure upon our leaders to behave, the abrogated powers of our criminal leadership and beaurocracy are beyond the influence of the voting masses. They are all the same flux of polithiefcians moving from one party to another, rigging the laws to favour themselves.

So let the subsidy remains, it is the only thing the masses enjoy in this highly molested economy.

Kobonaire234:
That's a very poor way of looking at Ghana's economy. Ghana has corruption, bad governance issues, and a bad currency.



Neither does Nigeria. We don't earn enough from oil...at best 70 billion dollars a year if oil remained at 100 dollars per barrel throughout the year....when we need something like 200 billion or more before we can even talk about earning enough money for our needs.



Because subsidy means free money, mismanagement is going to enter into the issue. (That's why it has to go).

But even without it, subsidy would still be expensive for the reason that production costs rise every year....and if we want to keep on selling fuel cheaply, we either raise the amount of money paid in subsides...or we reduce the amount paid in subsidy, which then manifests in higher prices.

And eventually, the debt that results from maintaining subsides becomes too much for the economy to bear. Because a time comes when subsidy is eating most of the budget, and you have to finance the budget via loans...(That's why East germany collapsed...they subsidsed everything...and while it meant that poor people had a good standard of living...the debt that resulted was too much a burden)

Subsidy just takes the burden of high prices and replaces it with the burden of high debts and loans.


We can divide the country, but it still does not change the fact that you would get cheap fuel...either by paying for it via loans and high taxes...or both....or you just pay the market price.

Things cost money.
You are yet to answer my query above, even if they the petroleum subsidy entirely removed, how will the gains from it benefit the wretched masses of the country? Will it not become an additional money to loot by the country's elites, hiding under the guise of providing shoddy infrastructural facilities?

Yes, and all those countries pay for those subsides by taxing everyone heavily...and they only give some people subsidies...the poorest of the poor. Or selected groups. Not everyone. And if we charged taxes at the rates they do in those countries, you guys will cry and complain.

Yes, the masses benefit from 'cheap prices', but at the end, the market price must be paid...from our oil revenue...meaning we have to take loans to fund things like projects and salaries, as subsidy costs increase. Guess where the money to repay the loan will come from? The massess.

Things cost money. Either we pay market price for petrol at the pump...or we pay for it in loans, debts, and more loans....or we make everyone pay tax...including beggars and the unemployed...to fund the subsidy. It costs money to refine petrol. Selling it at a loss...and paying a subsidy to cover that loss inadequately for 50 years has led to us losing 4 good refineries and being a net importer of fuel.



Niger pays N400 and above for fuel, as does Cameroon, and even Sierra Leone and Liberia. They haven't exploded.

Plus Ghana makes enough profit to keep two refineries running...ditto Niger (one refinery).
They haven't exploded because they don't have large crude oil and gas deposits like Nigeria, whose benefits are being enjoyed brazenly by only a few segment of the population. So since their deposits are not enough to satisfy their country energy needs, they therefore paid for what they buy.

As for making profits from refining oil, all refineries from across the world makes profits (except Nigeria), but it is how those profits are managed that determine national development. Ghana is now facing the problem of government functionaries mismanaging the little money being made from their oil exploration and production just like Nigeria. Like I said before, public sentiments there against their government are nearing boiling point. And besides Ghana does not have that large enough of deposits to expect subsidies from their government just like it is being done across oil rich Arab governments, where a lot of their national needs are being subsidised.

Nigeria resources are being mismanaged, including the subsidy regime itself, that's why they are finding it difficult to maintain it. And even if they remove the subsidy, they will still build a strategy around it to continue cheating the masses, while the gains from it will still be looted by a minute percentage of the people.

Like I said earlier, dissolution or restructuring of the country is the solution to the rotten internal core of this nation, in the guise of corruption, which have destroyed everything of values.

I hope you, as a businessman, will sell at a loss, so that you can help the poor. The poor need your help, so sell below the price you bought the goods you are selling to help them

P.S Niger and Ghana sell fuel at higher prices than we do, and both countries are not burning yet.
All countries give their citizens some sort of subsidies, whether agricultural or industrial wise. Since Nigeria did not go the agricultural way, there must be some way we the masses must benefit from the vast resources in this country, thereforeif it through petroleum subsidy, let it be. All of us cannot work with government with easy access to loot and share the national cake.

As for Ghana, they are near to a boiling point, and their government are finding it more difficult to control the citizens, very soon the world will hear from them.

Maybe your sense of comprehension is faulty.

Inuwa Yahaya was talking so possessively as though the oil belongs to his state alone, in this same way that Zamfara state possessively lay claims to the gold in their territory.

Like I said, this is another reason to dissolve the country so that each region may possessively enjoy their God given resources ALONE. Or don't you think so?

Right. Some Niger Delta leaders mistakenly sold the oil in the region to the north in 1967 when they went to Kaduna and asked then governor of Northern region to beg the HoS, Yakubu Gowon, to carve the non Igbo speaking areas of the old Eastern region out of Biafra. Gowon quickly carved out Cross River and Rivers states out of Biafra. That largely led to fall of Biafra.
Northern political and military leaders took over the multimillion dollars oil blocks in the Niger Delta.

Divided, you fall.

So the oil does not belong to the whole Nigeria again, but to Gombe State.

Just another reason to dissolve the country.
