My opinion is, FG should deregulate the oil sector; subsidy is good but should not be limited to just one commodity, PMS.

Some argue in favour of subsidy for PMS, to reduce the ripple effect of price increase on other commodities, yet forgot that no process industry runs on PMS, no cargo truck runs on PMS.

FG should subsidize our standard of living not PMS.

Why can't FG subsidize the building of refineries instead of subsidizing PMS importation?

How can we be arguing in favour of importation against local production?

agwu123:
Must Nigerians believe and applaud everything negative written about us by foreign medias? Where is our pride as a people? Why are we so engrossed about negative reports on our nation and leaders?

More befuddling is the dispositions of our so-called educated youths. Where is our objectivity in analyzing people's opinion about our nation? Must the nation sink because Jonathan lost the last election?

From the reactions I am getting from Nigerians on social medias on negative publications against our government and people by foreign medias, I am tempted to and have no other option than to believe that average Nigerians are suffering from a severe psychological disorder of inferiority complex if not I see no reason why we trust foreign reports about ourselves much more than what is obtainable within us.

I weep for this generation!

How so sad but true.

This is the same people during GEJ that wailed because America refused to sell to Nigeria, now America has changed her mind, we are wailing they shouldn't sell to Nigeria.

The question is, if GEJ had bought those war planes then wouldn't PMB still make use of them now?

Would it be against the law for IPMAN to build its own refinery and stop importing?

CzarChris:
Truthful, this why that no sex before marriage BS ain't really a great idea.
Personal experience, I once dated this pretty goddess, everything was great except the sex, I was a freak in bed, while she really didn't like sex that much. We were the best in all things together, but the bedroom part of my life was really suffering. We talked about it often, but to no avail. She's now an ex, and I thank God everyday for it, cos we almost got married at a certain point.

Note: Be sanctimonious all you want but the truth is the truth.

You are right.
I have been there, seen it, done it.

It was after that experience I realized the full meaning of concubine aka side chick syndrome.

Do I subscribe to the side chick/toy boy syndrome?

No one is perfect but our religious/societal norm has a one-size-fits-all when it comes to marital formatting.

I asked myself: do I have to keep changing who I date because one thing is always missing?

The side chick came to the rescue but would we accept the fact that some of our ladies may equally need such a rescue?
Where do we strike a balance?

Josphine4good:
I hate men I don't think I will get married to one

Sure, it's your life but there is no point telling us you are a baby mama or one in the making.

I know some people are sadist, some are masochist.

If a sadist is married to a masochist, then they are perfectly matched.

How are we sure this is not the case?
After all she (battered wife) is not the one complaining.

Festivalofholi:
U can prove to him dat u have other value/worth besides ur pusssy. Let him know he has other things he can benefit frm u beside sex. Also try to show him ur an independent lady and u dont need his money.

But how many naija girls can do dat? With their poverty mentality of always expecting a guy to spend on 'em. So if he treats u like a sex object, u bargained for it.

I concur.

omenka:
"Leadership status"?? Sorry, if I may, who do you lead

You wouldn't wanna destroy what "peace"?? A peace that was forcefully shoved down your throat?? Look at your siggy- what does it say?? Now, where exactly does your loyalty lie??
You said PDP, Nigeria and Ijaw nation, yet you can't speak up even when they are destroying Nigeria and Ijaw nation because you don't wanna upset some useless peace(?) you made with some useless miscreants??

You have a much more thinner skin than I ever imagined bro.

good observation.
Tonyebarcanista is suffering from a conflict of interest.

babestella:
Are we talking about removal of subsidy or arrant price hike?

Which one are you celebrating?

A lot of our youths are irredeemably deluded and daft.
Ibe kachikwu said subsidy is removed, the midget VP says it's just a price hike to reflect realities of high exchange rate.

Haba, Nigeria is in deep shiiiii.

Did you listen to the Minister, Ibe kachiku? he said the #135 - 145 price band is a reference price, that speech was made and the following day an alleged scarce PMS was available and sold at virtually all outlets in my town. why do marketers pick the upper price limit?

oladrake:
R.I.P to dividends of democracy
R.I.P to government caring for its citizens

with all the oil we are producing, we are still buying for 145 per litre when a barrel is being exchanged for 37 dollars, i a forced to imagine how much a small country like Benin republic that has no oil will be paying for fuel.

sweetheart, it's true we produce crude oil but we don't refine it to PMS, we import PMS. if you follow the politics of the PMS subsidy, you will know that we have been subsidizing for Benin Republic.

is it not surprising ever since subsidy was removed from diesel, despite it is still imported the price had stabilized and the product is available?

It's not surprising.

Freksy:
I don't see any wrong in that. It's possible she really needed help and felt the guy can possibly assist her.

Asking her for sex in exchange was rather disgusting. Would he ask same from a guy like him? He was at liberty to simply say he can't assist her.

What is the name of the crime or sin she committed?

Don't you think the guy needed help also and felt the lady could assist?

If a lady is right in asking a guy she barely knew for money (for whatever reason), a guy is equally right in asking a lady he barely knew for sex (a specific reason).

It's a willing buyer - willing seller situation.

Inasmuch as a lady wouldn't want to be taken as a sex object, neither would any guy want to be taken as road side ATM.

A carton of Orijin bitters for Chukuka.

His response was very apt.

Money is a means of payment, yet some women expect money to change hands when no transaction was finalized, making themselves objects of charity.

Thats' what happens when you have SAN as a vice president and I don't think it's possible for NLC leaders to defy court order otherwise they risk loosing their position, court may declear them a threat to national security

...Or charge them with economic sabotage.

amagunnerfan:
Some people are dumb. They are Chevron workers and chevron is yet to come out to say so?

Pathetic lies. The so called freelance company Chevron used didn't come out to claim the arrested quintet are their workers too. Curiously.

Exactly my thoughts.

Why are the elders holding brief for the companies?

If the quintet are staff of the companies mentioned, the companies would surely be called to identify them; besides, being a company staff doesn't mean they can't also be involved in the vandalism.

Since the group is faceless, it can take on any face.

God Abolished it. its among the many laws God gave them later later. Go research and come n tell me. Am not giving you d ref .

you can keep it, for there is none to give.

Na wa oo

Is the minister not supposed to be there to explain the reason for the price hike, why the commotion?

Are the House members averse to explanations, or what?

holyfather:
Your logic is really laughable
Come to think of it, that he was a descendant of Noah shouldn't be an automatic ticket. After all any generation could decide to worship whichever god they choose.

Joshua mentioned their names and stated clearly that they worshipped other gods, which was why Abraham had to leave. {Joshua 24:2-3}

My advice for you is, read your Bible some more and stop foisting your heretic stance on God.

It's a fact the world at that time was polytheist, before Yahweh gave the commandment to Moses not to worship any other beside him. Hinting at the plausibility of the "Others" being just like him.

Mind you, when God told Abraham to leave his people it was not because they were "pagans" but that he (God) would make him (Abraham) a great nation. (Genesis 12)

Is it not heretically myopic to say the forefathers of Abraham were pagans, and if so, who were the worshipers of God before Abraham was called?

holyfather:
Was Abraham worshipping God in his father's house?
Please answer that question.

For your mind, a descendant of Noah would not know about the God that saved his forefathers from destruction, abi?

For your mind, Noah was the last person that worshiped God and did it in isolation from his family, abi?

Has it ever occurred to you that the religious practices of Noah was also copied by his descendants?

If Abraham never knew/worshiped God in his father's house, how did he get to know how to contact God?

That you don't know the God of your forefathers doesn't apply to others.

Think I need a cold bear and a good roasted fish to digest this lovely news this lovely sunday evening.

Who's coming with me?

My 10 fingers are up, but Pls make it be cold beer, I no go fit run from "bear."

Idiots don't read. Lagos State was never the capital of Nigeria.

The previous capital of Nigeria before Abuja was 'Lagos' which excluded many part and regions of Lagos state, Ikorodu, Epe, Badagry and Ikeja were all part of Lagos state. Lagos state the state was different from 'Lagos' the capital.

Yoruba's continued diplomacy and softness with the East villagers is the reason for this madness.

As educated as you are you can't differentiate when someone is being sarcastic.

BTW who talked about the towns that make up Lagos?

HurtgenForest:
what can you do as a man when your wife tells you that her Ex is much better than you in bed.

She says her ex who deflowered her was so good in bed?

What can be more frustrating than this for a husband?

The reason he became her ex was her mouth.

Some women talk impulsively and later reason the words used, by then the damage is already done, most times over trivial issues that could have been better handled with a better choice of words.

I had such experiences that I feel ashame just remembering it.

Volksfuhrer:
Lagos State was never a federal capital!

Like seriously?

OK, I remember it was Ikeja.

I've not called you any name that differs from what you portray bro, you've asked question and I've answered but you keep saying same thing so it's clear you lack knowing about Judaism narrowed down to Christianity, we don't practice abomination.

Hahahahahahaha

SMH...

tosinjay:
Oga you can tell i hate the discussion already. Who's afraid of historical facts? Well if you need me to explain things to you ask rather than expect me to tell you of my own will. I hate to have you seen as a Christian as you aren't one but a pagan.

Resorting to name calling doesn't change the facts of the discourse.

I have asked questions which you have not answered, how else do you want me to ask?

Fear is our greatest enemy, especially of the unknown outside the box.

The Truth needs nothing to lean on, nor does it force its acceptance.

Medicis:
First Samuel is correct in stating that the high
priest was Ahimelech. On the other hand neither
was Jesus wrong. When we take a closer look at
Christ’s words we notice that He used the
phrase “in the days of Abiathar” (v. 26) which
does not necessarily imply that Abiathar was
high priest at the time David ate the bread. After
David met Ahimelech and ate the bread, King
Saul had Ahimelech killed ( 1 Sam. 22:17–19 ).
Abiathar escaped and went to David (v. 20) and
later took the place of the high priest. So even
though Abiathar was made high priest after David
ate the bread, it is still correct to speak in this
manner. After all, Abiathar was alive when David
did this, and soon following he became the high
priest after his father’s death. Thus, it was during
the time of Abiathar, but not during his tenure in
office.
Abiathar was a high priest during David’s reign as
king, and he is mentioned some 29 times in the
Old Testament in relation to his priestly role.
Those familiar with the Hebrew Bible in the 1st
century (when The Gospel of Mark was written)
would easily connect Abiathar to David, so Mark
2:26 is merely reminding readers of the time
frame of David’s eating the consecrated bread.
The words “the high priest,” coming after
“Abiathar” are just his title, much like we might
say, “When President Obama attended college,
he made many friends.” Obama was not
president while he was in college, but whenever
we mention Obama, we refer to him as President
Obama.

Your argument is faulty.

Is it right to say that in the days of PMB crude sold at $120/bl, since he was alive but not yet the President, when crude oil sold at that price?

Dates and events are always referenced with regards to the authority figure at the time.

tosinjay:
If you believe you're good in whatever thing in life that's fine but not the interpretation of the bible. There are certain things that are not worth talking about, you're of the alien kind of Christian, who thinks way out the box. Go understand godliness and Christianity before portraying perversed views to others that aren't Christians.

@ bolded, what do you mean?
Is there anyone that has monopoly of Bible interpretation?

That you are afraid to talk about certain things does not mean everyone else should not.

Yes, I rather think out of the box than be confined to the box by fear of looking at the bible history or what else is out there.

How can you understand godliness or Christianity in isolation of bible historical facts?
