shaybebaby:
To all the marriage by fire by force advocates, please tell me why she needs a husband now?
What would he have to offer to warrant her commiting to him?
She is killing it on her own, don't need a man to feed her or her baby and paying her own bills.
She doesn't "need" a husband but if she decides to give it a go again, it'll be because she wants to. If she chooses not to, well.. Girl is balling whichever way.
You missed it the main reason marriage was instituted was for companionship

It's already degraded and that degradation was done to fund the rest of Nigeria and their lifestyles for decades

So the way they see it why not degrade it further for a worthy causehuh
My brother its never a worthy cause, its just out of greed and their personal interest. See the creation of NDDC, DESOPADEC, Amnesty programme and award of pipeline contracts just to satisfy the niger delta militants. Yet they want to put the nations source of revenue and power to a grinding halt.

Politics › Re: How The Economy fared Under Yaradua With Oil @ $40/barrel And The Reality Today by mokset123:
The Federal Government of Nigeria has disclosed that its borrows internally over N600 billion annually to pay salaries of its workforce adding that with the way things are going many States may not be able to pay salaries in the next three to four months.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Mr. Babachir Lawal made the disclosure Tuesday in Jos where he represented President Muhammadu Buhari at the opening ceremony of the 63rd General Church Council meeting of the Evangelical Church Winning All, ECWA.

He urged all faith-based organizations and traditional institutions to sensitize the citizenry on the need to exercise patience in the hardship that is currently being experienced by all as stressing that though this administration inherited a country that was robbed to the last coffers, it will be revived within a short time.

The SGF lamented that the present administration inherited an ailing economy that must be nurtured for sometime before it stabilizes and assured citizens that with the desired cooperation, the country would come out of the slum and assume its rightful place as the most populous black nation.

omenka:
This isn't right.

Let me bare an unbiased opinion about this since it appears the wailers are simply too dumb to engage on in any constructive and intelligent argument- all I've been hearing are insults and "apologise to Jonathan".

No Wailer has been able to ask one a very IMPORTANT question regarding one VERY OBVIOUS ANOMALY surrounding this whole "subsidy removal/deregulation" stuff, and that question is: if the government had earlier claimed that they subsidise petrol by about N17 per litre, then why on earth isn't fuel selling for approximately N103 per litre ( ie 86+17) as against N145 or the N120 allegedly being proposed now??

Wailers, make una try get small sense so una go fit put us, and perhaps, the government, on our toes. Throwing insults around and getting tens of likes wouldn't get you lot anywhere.

Government needs to tell us why it is 145 and not 103.
Government has told you why, research more and you would be well informed.

If major marketers get dollar at 197 naira from cbn then the cost of landing refined fuel at our ports would be 84 naira, distribution charge would be 14 naira hence, without subsidy a litre of pms would sell at (84+14=98 naira) so government has been subsidising at 12 naira so we have 98-12= 86 naira.

But government can't continue to provide the forex needed by oil marketers to import pms since the revenue we generate from crude oil sales has been plummeting since june 2014 hence our foreign reserves is been depleted as a result of demand for dollar to satisfy importers of which the cbn has been trying to manage through various policies.

The recent announcement by the minister of petroleum for state, is that fuel would not be sold above 145 based on the following guidelines by the pppra

1. Oil marketer are to source for their dollar at the secondary market and they pegged dollar exchange rate at 298 naira to dollar. Difference here is that the oil marketers would not wait or hope that cbn would give them dollar at its own rate of 197 anymore

2. If oil marketers get a dollar at 298 naira then landing cost of pms in our ports would be at 118 naira, distribution charge would cost about 18 naira then the cost of pms would be 118+18=136 naira so the government gave extra gap in its computation that is 136-145 naira for a litre of pms

Unanswered question here should be how much should our locally refined fuel be sold for.

AnakinSkywalker:
Scrap the FRSC and merge them with the Traffic Unit of the Nigerian Police. Do same with the VIO.

Scrap NSCDC and merge them with the Police.

Scrap NOSDRA and NESREA and merge them with the Federal Ministry of Environment. Expand the Federal Ministry of Environment to cover not only Environment, but Occupational Safety, Occupational Health/Industrial Hygiene. Till now we do not have a national regulator for HSE.

Pass the PIB and merge the down stream unit of the DPR with PPPRA.

Tell all regulators apart from the DPR and one or two others, to back off from the Oil and Gas Industry. It is too multi-regulated with little or no impact. All regulators are only seeking for oil companies to pay fees and pay their staff out of pocket when they come for unnecessary inspections in many cases. NOSDRA visits.So does NESREA, LAWMA, LASEPA, DPR, Ministry of Health, NIMASA, Weight and Measures, Chamber of Commerce, Road Safety (in depots), NSCDC, Navy, etc. Etc.

Where is that report written by Orosanye or so, who reccomended many critical MDAs that should be merged?

It would interest you to know that the oronsaye report and the white paper the past administration produced on rationalisation of mda's is being looked into by this present administration.
Politics › Subsidy Removal - Noa's Twelve Reasons Why Decision Is Right by mokset123(op): 8:08am On May 14, 2016
01
Trillions of naira have been spent by successive administrations sustaining a corrupt, largely abused regime that has ended up in private pockets, creating overnight billionaires who continue to walk free

02
Petrol subsidies over the years have caused supply disruptions and engendered inefficiencies in their management

03
Under the current low oil price environment, dwindling oil revenue and shortage of foreign exchange, deregulation would partly reduce the pressure on the naira and foreign reserves

04
With deregulation, importers of petrol can source for their dollar requirements from autonomous sources, which would ease pressure on the naira and foreign reserves

05
Diversion of products will be minimised, as there will be no incentives for marketers to divert petrol to markets where they are guaranteed higher prices

06
The removal of subsidies will attract critically needed private sector investment in the downstream oil sector and lead to the construction of new refineries

07
As greenfield refineries come on stream in the medium to long-term and NNPC partly privatises its plants under whatever arrangement it chooses to call it, Africa’s largest oil producer would transit from an importer of products to a net exporter of products and end the export of jobs to other jurisdictions

08
The end of subsidies will end crude oil swaps and other opaque trading arrangements that have cost Nigeria billions

09
Savings made by government will be used to develop critical infrastructure that would create jobs, and funds redeployed to subsidise productive sectors of the economy such as agriculture, textile manufacturing and SMEs (wise countries subsidise production, not consumption)

10
With deregulation and the attendant competition, marketers and NNPC will be forced to adopt best practices in order to remain in business

11
Competition will also guarantee that prices will inevitably stabilise and drop over time; US shale oil and new oil discoveries in other parts of the world mean that oil prices are unlikely to ever rise to $100 a barrel, which has a knock-on effect on the price of refined products

12
Realistically, the official pump price of petrol has largely been enjoyed by dwellers in major cities in the country. In the hinterland, where up to 60 per cent of Nigerians still reside, petrol, when it is available, is normally sold way above the regulated price

We have to start our reforms from somewhere, the good thing is this administration has started full implementation of some of the policies of the last administration and they are reviewing other policies as well.
I would urge everyone to be patient for now, support this administration despite its challenges and God willing we would get to our destination

koboko69:
Subsidy Removal under Jonathan;

Jonathans government announced the total removal of subsidy on Jan 1 2012.

The Facts;

1. Oil sold at 113 usd per barrel as at Dec 31st 2011

2. The exchane rate as at Dec 2011 was 1 usd to N 162.3

3. Jonathan's Predecessor actually dropped PMS price from N75 to N65 and was able to sustain subsidy whilst handling the amnesty program for repentant millitants till his early dismiss.

4. A more bouyant foreign reserve and growing ecomomy.

The government's major basis of total removal of subsidy was sighted as massive corruption. Rather than deal with the monster, the incompetence of the government was shifted to the masses. Many Nigerians were not ready to make the government have more money to loot, as subsidy was still sustainable at that time.

After the Occupy Nigieria protests, the price of PMS was revised to N97 per littre, with the promise of urban busses, building and rehabilitation of refineries e.t.c. It is interesting to note that the only partially successful programme after the subsidy removal was SURE-P because some Nigeirans benefitted from it without the "u must know someone" clause. Till the exit of Jonathan's government, we had no functional refineries, neither were new ones built.

Please note, Boko Haram was more like rag tag millitant as at the time of subsidy removal but later grew to a sophisticated, machine guns, tanks rolling millitant. So BH as an excuse is not tenable.

Subsidy removal under President Buhari.

1. Oil price selling below 40usd per barrel

2. Exchange rate of N197-N199 to a dollar and N320 to a dollar in the parallel market.

3. An ailing economy, with limited FOREX, and dwindling reserves.

The major reason for the total removal of subsidy by the current government is because of scarcity of Forex and an ailing economy. NNPC could not sustain solely importing petroleum products, and there is not enough Forex to give major oil marketers to handle the importation of petroleum products. It should also be noted that the present government have been able to tackle corruption to a fault in the oil industry.

The oil Marketters have now been given the liberty to source forex from other sources to import fuel which is the major reason for the high price hike.

The current government have made moves which will see the price of PMS drop in the nearest future. For the first time in years we have the Warri, Kaduna, and Port Harcourt refineries working together but some misguided youths amd miscreants in the name of avengers have decided to keep sabotaging the efforts of the present government.
There are also moves on ground to build more refineries.

In my opinion, the deregulation of the lower stream sector is right on track at this time and I stand with Buhari on this.

For now i see no reason why this government should not be supported, as they still have more than 2 years to deliver. Should the government not meet up to expectations before next elections, then Nigerians can't take their anger to the polls.

God Bless Nigeria.

Even if we have no idea where it is done world wide. A situation where there isn't a policy that ensures that a sitting president, governor, local government chairman and other political office holders are separated from the finance of their office doesn't mean well for our democracy.
