Pavarottii: Well if u feel APC is better at governance.
Enjoy ur change... No hard feelings...
o we intend to, beyond 2023 sef maybe pdp (what am I thinking, no hope for pdp, dead party), hopefully another SERIOUS opposition party will rise up and realise that they have to bribe the voters with good governance(at least better than whatever apc has to offer) in order to win election
41lady: You are a lier, far better how?, when did masses ever buy 5pieces of tomatoes for 5h, when did I ever exchange 1USD for 400NGN, when did they ever kill 1200 farmers in their farms with AK47, 49 and matchet? e.t.c don't deceive yourself. Because you are not or can't deceive either me or anybody here. If he is fighting corruption which we agree, why will he make the economic miserable for the low income earners or hustlers and the poor. Let him go after the corrupt guys and leave the economic to operate, why putting it in analogy mood. We are in generation of multitasking or auto-system, he can be fighting corruption while things operate in order. This is bullshet are typing here.
yes things are bad now, the same way they would have been bad under Jonathan. abi is it Jonathan that kept oil price high. is it Buhari that brought disease that wiped out tomato harvest that is causing scarcity. was there no scarcity of beans and tomato under Jonathan. did Fulani not kill under Jonathan. we're you in Chad when Boko killed 15 000.is it the president that makes the 'economic ' miserable or lazy citizens that ran away from farm looking for police immigration and CBN job instead.you better stop lying to yourself and if you really believe all you typed better go and find out how 'economic ' works bfor commenting and misleading ppl. and if you are a pdp thief may your life bend the way pdp bent Nigeria's 'economic ' for 16 years

guy if your father spend 20bn on 95hectares of land you no go flog am(forget say he senior you) are you a graduate,are you even a waec holder and you're so easily gullible like this abi you fail math word problems.
that is over 20 million for 1 hectare in yankee that money will prolly run 20,000 hectares and you are here talking about light years chai i go too hammer on top una head once i turn politician if nairalanders can be so simple minded imagine how ignorant and easily deceived illiterates will be
Pavarottii: The same thing am saying, u guys can't be convinced; well enjoy ur change, no problem...
convinced of what for goodness sake,were you happy with the way pdp and jonathan wererunning the country? we know apc is not good but at least it's waaaaaay better than pdp.pdp cannot loot amnymore and they are in confusion because there is no more money to share again.not even up to one year.they were there for 16 years and not one single investment just looting and owambe after owambe.in dubai for goodnesssakeabeg don't let me call the lord's name in vain hiaa o.haba
Pavarottii: True sir. God bless you sir, you not a sycophant like the APC Zombies.
Help me tell dem ooo... they are plenty of dem on NL. Sycophants and hypocrites that will see white and Call it black,even wen they will still pay d 50naira postal bank charge, 45% increase in electricity tariff, 100% increase in V.A.T and 69% increase in PMS pump price. Inflation higest since the inception of Nigeria almost 14%. They all do it without questioning and support blindly. Even wen dey are broke or their parents. They still come on NL and support. Some of dem and their folks av losts jobs ooo and their business folding up due to increase in dollar. But they still defend blindly.
I av tried to give dem a detail of my essence cos it's sad for me to see my people famished. But they av decided to suffer and smile no matter d cost. So I leave them to their suffering. Just want to let them know. That this is just the beginning of suffering under their master cos he cares less about them.
I hope some get a clue from u sir. And I like ur courage sir.
do you know how much stamp duty is paid in USA or Britain, do you know how much electricity costs and yet you waste it (in UK ppl watch movies in darkness cos of light bill while una go just de blast AC anyhow.), you don't want to pay tax yet you want good roads and good police, you're not ready for development. apc supporters are, that's why they don't complain
falconey: You would pay if you were op? are you falling for this trick in this century?? i'm flabbergasted mehn.
Even if i own a oil station and my account balance is close to nigeria 2016 budget i wouldnt do such.
I would rather use that 50k to obtain a legal practitioner.
can legal practitioner chest bullets or evade magun (of course I know it's not magun but I don't know what they call other fetish juju tinz). sometimes you just let some shit go so the person will not have mouth to talk. that's why I personally will never spend any girls money even guys sef. I respect myself and my poverty till the day the Lord almighty decide to hear my requests
donpata: you probably don't understand my point. I am not planning on staying on my current job for long mind you. Plus my mum is a fed worker. The minimum wage may thus benefit me anyhow. But to bring the issue to the table where fuel hike is gonna be discussed is so not cool. The same FG is claiming the workforce is too much. What happens if they cut jobs later? Of cos na small small everything they start. Shebi workers no gri support NLC. When Buhari cuts jobs, them go seek NLC but will not find
see my brother, the people are tired of textbook economics, how the govt solve the problem is not their business, stomach infrastructure is the koko. and until the politicians take a financial hit they will not sit up. higher minimum wage means less money to loot so they will be forced to become productive instead of stealing and misbehaving with cheap money. if labour doesn't use fuel hike excuse to mobilise ppl what else do you want them to use. the only other thing that brings Nigerians to the streets is if you ban super eagles from playing ball. we are indeed a strange ppl, no light, no water, no roads but it is football and burial and wedding ceremony we take serious
He's not saying minimum wage shouldn't be increased, he's only saying it should not be the palliative for increased fuel price as it's only a few that would benefit from it
are you a Nigerian at all. how old.who palliative don help. do you trust these politicians to implement anything serious like mass transit and bullet trains in the next four years. ordinary refinery, let's just be thanking goodness for dangote but even that one will prolly end up like the cement debacle once he has no competition. (let's hope ifeanyi Uba, as criminally inclined as he is has plan to build his own refinery so there will be some kind of competition.) I'm talking reality your talking fantasy. if the Nigerian worker(3 million approx ) doesn't collet his own share then politicians will continue spending one trillion on national Assembly (less than 500 eediots) .of course I know I'm text book economics it doesn't owe sense but this is Nigeria man, textbook doesn't work here. so let them share the money to the people instead of dia saraki and Dino buying luxury cars for themselves and dia girlfriends. at least Civil servants will spend the money in the market so that (160 million )will get their own share and it will force the politicians to invest their loot in infrastructure not just spending billions on their own consumpťion, no production whatsoever. at least money trickling down to the people will support farmers albeit inefficiently. but why we de even argue sef when we both know that nobody will give them any minimum wage and they lack the needful to fight for it to the bitter end. they're just doing eye service so they the labour keeps can be bribed to pipe down. no be so oshiomole do till him chop gwamna hammer. abegi mowu hia word. common man not ready to fight for his share of nat'l cake (why he will remain poor and miserable)
donpata: Many NLanders who dont support NLC strike keep saying NLC should talk of minimum wage rather than fuel hike. I think that's a weak point of argument and so i won ask: "How Many People Minimum Wage don Epp?"
My point is simple: If anyone wants to argue for deregulation as being the best option, then its best to do so without bringing the minimum wage into it cos that is a story for another day.
I therefore believe that NLC was right for refusing to negotiate minimum wage at a meeting meant to address fuel hike. Also, there is no how FG would claim min wage is a "palliative" because that is a baseless argument.
The fact stands that: 1. Based on records, the FG has about 90k staff. Add up the security agencies and it may be save to say that FG has around 500k people on its payroll. Now if we relate that to 160mill Nigerians, that's about 0.3% of our total population.
2. Lagos State employs the largest work force after the FG. Kaduna has about 90k staff on its payroll. Oyo about 86k. Let's assume an average of 60k staff for the 36 states of the federation. We should thus have about 2.1mill state workers and this represents a meagre 1.3% of our total population (I know its likely higher).
3. The minimum wage they want to review will also only affect these 0.3% FG workers because the last time i checked, about 26 states are currently battling with the issue of salaries which is based on 18k minimum wage. This is besides the fact that many states have not even implemented the 18k min wage.
For instance, Kaduna State govt where i work uses 15k as min wage. On level 8, am paid 36k and note that i have a BSc, PGDE, and MSc. My boss who also has MSc. is on Lev 16 and is paid 123k. Now relate the above to the fact that a diploma holder on FGs payroll earns upwards of 45k depending on the institution/agency.
4. Thus, how can FG hike fuel price and introduce Minimum wage of 45k (or so) as "palliative" for something that will only affect just 0.3% of our population? (dependants noted but excluded) * What about communities that dont have any federal worker? How do they benefit from the so called "palliatives"?
5. Besides Lagos which may be able to pay its workers any reviewed minimum wage, which other state can pay?
6. It is general knowledge that the price of fuel affects over 90% of Nigerians as compared to minimum wage that will only benefit a few.
7. If i invite people to a ceremony and some eat 3 plates while others take just 1, i believe everyone eats based his stomach's carrying capacity so i got no reason to vex. Wetin concern me with that oga that Govt is subsidizing the fuel he uses in his SUV? subsidize for me too according to my stomach- (1.4lt engine) and i will be happy.
8. What about those who are not even on Govt pay roll? The farmers, petty traders, students, barbers, phone charging vendors, the maisuya and the grocery shop owners who use Tiger Generator? What about the students that go to school daily and the workers that will be paying a hiked TP fare? Which do they benefit from? Min wage abi Low Pump Price?
9. They claim the N145 pump price will ensure availability of product but we all know its a lie. Right now in Kaduna, the queues are gradually returning again. Of cos the marketers are exhausting their products and will thus have to go and buy with dollar at 340. With this "deregulation" and CBN FX policy, i think N145 is not the ceiling but rather the floor.
10. Finally, shebi they said they have N3trn in TSA. Make them use am arrange the Refinery nah or are they keeping it for 2019?
SUMMARY FOR those who did not read my epistle, all i'm saying is govt should argue for the good of deregulation but never bring in increased minimum wage as a "palliative" cos it only DIRECTLY benefits less than1% of the Nigerian population. They want to getaway with the insensitive fuel hike easily. Min. Wage is a necessary discussion for another day.
na wa o. so because e no reach you it must not reach 0.3% times their wives and chudrens o. you rather some ppl build road 1 billion per kilometres ba.
broseme: In furtherance of the ongoing efforts to enhance operational effectiveness and service delivery, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has commissioned new sets of facilities in its units at Makurdi and Benin City. Some of the newly commissioned projects were named after deceased personnel who died in the ongoing counterinsurgency operation in Northeast Nigeria. Those honoured with the recent projects are Flight Lieutenant Ebitimi Owei and Flight Sergeant Awodi Emmanuel Adakole who died on 10 October 2015 and 25 August 2015 respectively.
The newly provided facilities in Makurdi include a Bulk Fuel Installation (BFI) with 2,000,000 litres capacity, crew/briefing room for F-7Ni pilots, 12 units of 3-bedroom flats for Senior Non-Commissioned Officers, and sporting facilities for the use of NAF personnel, family members and host community. Also, a block of 4 units of 3-bedroom flats was commissioned for officers serving at the 81 Air Maritime Group, Benin.
Meanwhile, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar has called on the beneficiaries of the new facilities to reciprocate the gesture by the Federal Government, who made the necessary funds available for the projects, by rededicating themselves to their duties. Air Marshal Abubakar reminded the personnel that “the whole essence of government’s commitment to their welfare is to bring out the best in them”. He therefore urged them to remain selfless and committed in the pursuit of their assigned statutory duties”. The CAS was represented at both occasion by the Chief of Policy and Plans, Air Vice Marshal James Gbum.
ChangeIsCostant: This is a real lady with focus. Instead of waiting for someone to foot her bills and take care of her, this 'strong' girl has decided to map out her future with her own hands. good for her. The lady who works as a cleaner at a cinema in Abuja -revealed that she is not deterred by what she experiences at her place of work...
Hear her story below;
I need to work for the next two years, so that I can afford to pay my fees for tertiary studies. I lost my dad at a tender age, my mom could only see me through secondary school. She asked me to go learn a trade after I graduated. But I have a dream... I want to be a lawyer, I always dream and imagine myself in that wig and gown, defending or prosecuting people. So I told my mom about it, she called my elder sister who lives here in Abuja and informed her of my decision. She pleaded with her to accommodate and get me a job, which my elder sister did a month latter. I am a cleaner in a cinema at the moment, I don't let the attitudes of customer get to me because I have a bigger picture of where I am going. My present cant deter me from my future, so I enjoy my job because its the key finance to my education tomorrow.
aresa: I don't even remember saying anything about GW so what are you rambling about or you just can not read and comprehend simple English words..
Do you need analysis to tell you that you must start from somewhere with what you have till you achieve your objective?
The fact that you can not walk today doesn't mean you should not start crawling today to allow you to walk tomorrow.
It's common sense that we can not generate everything we need today regardless what form of energy we build because we don' have the capacity and resources, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't start from somewhere. Every thousand mile starts from taking the first step.
You people reason too shallow and depthless..
gigawatt gigawatt gigawatt abi you want to compare experimental 1 or 10 MW(megawatt) with contry that requires at least 40 to 80 GW i'm talking about these mumu human beings that are trying to sell us into slavery o that arre talking about indecent dressing,made in nigeria wife and expired tire not serious patriotic human beings o and about your lack of motherly home training,continue,i will soon learn how to track guttersnipes like you and make you pay enjoy while it lasts
aresa: Portugal for 3 days or more running powdered the whole of Portugal with renewable energy from windmill to solar and this one here is spewing ignorant nonsense.
How are industrial are you more than Portugal and Germany the largest economy in Europe that powdered the whole of Germany last week with renewable energy and not a drop of oil or gas?
Oil and gas is fast becoming a thing of the past and only foolish and irresponsible countries invests in fosil power plants these days.
Instead of spending billions of dollars on fosil power plants, we should be erecting windmills, letting rhe discos start installing roof top solar panels to supply uninterrupted power supply and charge same way they charge now. We wont even need transmission lines or other needless investments.
They should even be subsidizing solar installation with all the billions There are wasting on power plants.
There are too many easy way out, our leaders are just too slow and old in their thinking.
With solar and wind or other forms of renewable energy, norhing major breaks down and whatever is fixable in no time ans cheaply
first of all that's not how to talk in public. how many gigawatts did it run. how much did it cost relative to thermal. 10 times from my research. it's easy to point fingers and make suggestions. Abi you think say dem go give you the whole budget plus recurrent just to put up a 1 GW solar or wind farm. analyse every before you talk in publc. not everyone here is writing waec or from celebrity section
chikel2000: Now oil is found in all southern Nigeria. Just waiting for oil in the northern part so dat everyone will rest. Just tired of hw FG is using niger delta as a mere dumping ground, pollution everywhere
but for goodness sake you have 6 gwamna 6 ministers, Civil servants, senators reps same as everyone else plus 13% derivation, Wetin una take am do? sorry we can't give your leaders more money to loot.
by hook o by crook o you don gree say dem lazy today. we're not talking about before. but I pity them sha cos only the almighty can save them now unless that oyel fries up
mekaboy: Tribalistic:- He never came out to discriminate based on the percentage of voters or supporters like the 5%.
Incompetent : Maintaining inflation bellow 9% and unemployment takes alot of competence compared to 13.7% and rising. Corrupt: - who isn't among them? Is buhari blind to the accusations against Amechi? It took corrupt funds to get him there.
he sideline south west. he did not maintain anything. he was just lucky that oil did not crash during his time. he is definitely one of the luckiest men to walk the face of the earth. chop alone die alone, amaechi shared his loot with voters
what have you done with the fake federalism you have now. is it not the same foolishgovs and senators and Civil servants that will run the new system. the people not the system is what is wrong. other countries have used dictatorship, military rule, parliamentary and presidential system to prosper. we have failed with all.
very stoopid nonsense. we have over 600 trillion in gas reserves and dip mumu say we should ignore it and chase very insanely expensive and unproven alternative energy. solar cannot run industry..... yet
