Beards cover ugliness...


that's why I can't trust the beauty of a beard guy.

Hey!
I wanna "grow together with you forever".

The title should've been: "I would serve..." and not "I will...".

It's his service. Na him sabi abeg.

it's called "erepa" in yoruba. Our brother is only playing with tyre and may be sand too.

oduastates:
Sorry , where did you get your conclusions from?
Jonathan's government remains the worst government in Nigeria's history .
You could only imagine what the country would be like if Jonathan had continued.

Abeg keep quiet, Tinubu's lackey.

Bro, I'm waitin o!

You can only run out of something you ever had. The Buhaari I know has always been bereft of idea.

seunmsg:
Whether the post attracts enough likes or not wont change anything. I was in Ekiti for the new year celebration and i left just yesterday. My comment is a true reflection of the political mood in Ekiti right now.

Nope, your comment is rather borne out of your delusions and fantasies as a well-known APC apologist.

Dream on.

Yian1:
I still like this weather than still be suffering in the weather of Umbrella side looters who have been revealed by buhari. They would have sold this country by now.

Keep deceiving yourself.

There is no difference between APC and PDP

There is, dear.

While both comprise looters, the PDP unarguably towers a million times higher in terms of economic management and fostering of national unity...governance in general.

I'm still to find a single positive to attribute to this calamitous Buhari-led APC government.

Inconsequential members.

E pain am.

Hmmm...very salient points but I feel the "God-factor" takes pre-eminence in landing a good job in these times.

As solid and professionally-drafted I'd always thought my CV was, I only just recently landed that plum job of my dream.

Put God first in your job hunt and you'll give a testimony soon.

Happy 2018 everyone.

Fuel Crisis is a Creation of False Federalism

The cost of petrol per gallon in California is not the same in Texas. In the United States, there is no such thing as a fixed subsidized national price for fuel. In Alaska you can buy fuel for above $3 while in Maryland, it is slightly above $2.

The logic is simple. The United States is a federation and as such, the federal government cannot decide in totality what the price of fuel should be in both California and Texas. These are autonomous states and therefore have a degree of control over how petrol is sold and regulated in their territory. A state that is opposed to global warming can impose a 3 cent tax on fuel to discourage residents from burning too much fuel in the state!

Let us return to Nigeria

In Nigeria, while a basket of tomatoes could sell for NGN5,000 in Kano, the same tomatoes could be selling for NGN15,000 in Lagos. The reason why this is so is simple. The federal government is not in charge of the tomatoes business. So there is no injustice in buying a basket of tomatoes cheaper in it's place of production (Kano) than in the place where it is more valuable (Lagos).

In the tomato business, the end user in Lagos pays for the risk, transportation and even taxes for the tomatoes he consumes. This is how it should be anyway.

Let's look at petrol in Nigeria.

In Nigeria, the price of petrol in Sokoto is the same as the price of Petrol in Port Harcourt. Why? Because the federal government has so much money and can therefore pay for this to be so.

Remember, in the tomatoes business, the end user in Lagos pays for the transportation, but in the petrol business, the federal government pays for the end user in Sokoto! I am not done.

The reason why the FG pays subsidy for fuel is not because it wants to necessarily make the product cheap, it is because it wants to make the price of the product uniform across Nigeria. Remember, in reality, Nigeria is a unitary state.

I do not need to remind Nigerians about how much we have spent in making petroleum products unified for the past decades.

If we do not put an end to this unitary system on time, the unitary system will end us in time.
Copied

A quite incisive analysis. True federalism will no doubt straighten a whole lot of things but that's a long-term measure.

What I feel the beleaguered oil sector needs now is deregulation. We're just on a merry-go-round at the moment.

Buhari isn't doing anything different than his predecessors did.

Buhari should stop blaming those exploiting the weak and poorly-managed system to amass profit but the system itself and its managers who make it (sharp practices) possible.

What's his job as Petroleum Minister? ...and what're the jobs of DPR and NNPC that all report to him as Petroleum Minister?

FUEL SCARCITY: Fix the problem, stop blame game, Soyinka tells Buhari ON JANUARY 1, 20183:41 AMIN NEWSCOMMENTS Lagos—


Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka has broken his silence on the fuel crisis rocking the country, urging President Muhammadu Buhari to fix the problem, rather than engage in trading blames. Buhari and Soyinka In a statement issued in Lagos, Soyinka said:

“The government has permitted itself to be fooled by the peace of those empty streets, but also by the orderly, patient, long-suffering queues that are admittedly prevalent in the city centres.”[i][/i]

In the statement titled: ‘Blame passing: The New Year Gift to a Nation’, which was made available to journalists in Lagos, Soyinka reiterated why the government must urgently address the crisis. He said: “Just getting past fuelling stations was traumatising, an obstacle race through seething, and frustrated masses of humanity, only to find ourselves on vast stretches of emptied roads pleading for occupation.

As for obtaining the petroleum in the first place – the less said the better. “I suspect that this government has permitted itself to be fooled by the peace of those empty streets, but also by the orderly, patient, long-suffering queues that are admittedly prevalent in the city centres.

He also cited the clipping of the 1977 edition of the Daily Times when the then Minister of Petroleum and Natural Resources, Muhammadu Buhari was quoted as saying, “Fuel crisis may be over next year.” He continued: “It is time the reporting monitors of government moved to city peripheries and sometimes even some other inner urban sectors, such as Ikeja and Maryland from time to time to see, and listen! “Pronouncements – such as the 1977 above – again re-echoing by rote in 2017– are a delusion at best, a formula that derides public intelligence. Buying time.

Passing blame. “Yes, of course, the current affliction must be remedied, and fast, but is there a dimension to it that must be brought to the fore, simultaneously and forcefully? This had better be the framework for solving even a shortage that virtually paralysed the nation.”

“It is however a masterful end-of-year image to take into the coming year, not only for the individual now at the helm of government, General Buhari, but for a people surely credited with the most astounding degree of patience and forbearance on the African continent – except of course among themselves, when they turn into predatory fiends.

“When many of us are blissfully departed, an updated rendition of this same clipping – with a change of cast here and there – will undoubtedly be reproduced in the media, with the same alibis, the same in-built panacea of blame passing.”

The Professor noted that  there were other challenges faced by Nigerians before the present fuel crisis which require immediate fixing, which the government has left unattended to.

Soyinka added, “As the tussle for the next round of power gets hotter in the coming year, the electorate will again be manipulated into losing sight of the base issue… Sooner than later, but not as soon as pledged, the fuel crisis will pass. And then, of course, we shall await the next round of shortages, then a recommencement of blame passing.

“What will be the commodity this time – food perhaps? Maybe even potable water? In a nation of plenty, nothing is beyond eventual shortage – except, of course, the commonplace endowment of pre-emptive planning and methodical execution.”

I am 29years with 2.2

Is MURIC now an advocacy group for Buhari/APC?

Mrkumareze:
Wow, may grandpa maybe lucky this time. Bubu abeg give am one post

Omo, my late dad had better acted swiftly too by joining the APC. Who knows? Buhari fit nack am one appointment.

engineerboat:
BREAKING:

Wild jubilation in the graveyard as more dead people are hopeful of making Buhari's appointment list.

Guestlander:
What do you have? PDP is certainly not an alternative.

Stop being naive, the PDP is a party, not a person. Vote the candidate and not the party. By the way, is the APC not worse in terms of corruption? It's anyone but Buhari at this point.

Enough is enough!

Guestlander:
It is far easier to ruin things than to build them. I will give you an example; when Obama came into office, the American economy was in a free fall, people were losing their homes, big companies and big financial institutions were on the verge of bankruptcy.

Obama then decided to bailout these companies and also put policies in place to help home owners and jump start the economy.
These were not easy decisions to make, the people who caused the problems in the first place, the (Republicans) started calling him a communist and refused to support him. Some even said openly that they wanted him to fail.
Buhari also met an economy in a free fall but unlike the USA, the government is too broke to bail out itself not to mention anyone else.
It will take longer to fix Nigeria than it took to ruin it. The PDP is just trying to deceive Nigerians and then pretend they have no hands in what is going on right now. If they get back to power they will only continue where they left.

Mr. APC Man please shove your lame and senseless analysis down your as*. Apparently you enjoy some sort of patronage from this utterly inept government.
Buhari has battered our once-promising economy enough.

Only an idi*t blinded by ethnic/religious bigotry will deny the glaring fact that the Daura grandpa lacks the mental and intellectual wherewithal to lead a MINT-class economy as that of Nigeria especially in this digital age.

To all of you shamelessly defending this direction-lacking government, I pray your lives and fortunes go in the exact direction Nigeria has gone since this demented old grandpa came on board.

E be like say weyrey dey worry this old nitwit sha.

Which "Nigerians" is he talking about?

pocohantas:
They crave it as much as guys do.

What they don't crave is:
...unwanted pregnancy
...kiss and tell.
...infections.
...heartbreaks.
...cheating.
...avoidable multiple sexual partners.
...slut shaming, etc.

That deeldo can't be guilty of the aforementioned

Ain't guilty of any of the "aforementioned", so does that qualify me for a look-in from ya?

Whether this post will reach FP or not will be made known by my oga at the top.. I cannot tell you it will reach FP and my oga at the top will say another thing. But you can check ww.nairaland(cough's) that's all

I commend The Cable for this swift retraction... but the reporter that resigned, was it a show of professionalism abi na fear?

Kudos to Fayose

Beckino:
Moi-moi is moi-moi just like pizza is pizza (pizza is an Italian name). No english name abeg.

God bless you.

frankyychiji:
Lol! You are the one most affected by the dullard's misrule. It's obvious from the way you spread opprobrium on this site.

And if agriculture was so important, how come the demonic APC budget more for Propaganda than both agriculture and education?

Why have they spent billions looking for oil in your arid village?

You guys should quit helping that ethnicity/religion-blinded idiot and his cohorts earn their living.

The shameless impostor is only performing his media duty.

GoroTango:
You belong to the 5% that makes your votes inconsequential. We the 95% will bury you. You are nothing

...and who are your "we"?
You're obviously deluded.

HeyCorleone:
Your problem is you think you're wise. Probably you discussed this among your friends and they hailed you. So we should sacrifice the progress of this country on the altar of zoning?!

I wonder how some of us reason.

Bravo!

raker300:
Afonjas wishing they had stanel

Can we just eschew this tribal madness for once please?

Alariiwo:
Most filling stations have fuel now.. they are not just selling out of fear of when next their tanker load will come.

The so called stakeholders are the real problem with Nigeria. Govt. should look for a way to clip their wings once and for all.

Gbenu soun abeg.

You must either be a BMC member or one enjoying some sort of patronage from this wicked directionless government.

So what's the job of Buhari as petroleum minister? Keep on your shameless buck-passing...d day of reckoning comes soon.
