Stop saying what you don't know.

People and companies like Ifeanyi Uba's capital oil, Silverbird group and Obat are responsible for the unhealthiness of Nigerian Banks.

The banks gave them loan to expand, some of them mismanaged the funds and cannot pay the banks back, hence banks collapse.

If not for Amcon that bought over NPL (Non Performing Loans) in 2010 Many banks like Union bank, UBA, First bank, Access Bank, Skye bank etc would have collapsed. Joint debt back then stood at 4trillion Naira

One thing Sanusi Lamido Sanusi did right was AMCON.

AMCON has saved thousands of Jobs, saved businesses from collapse and also saved the Nigerian economy.

I have made millions cos AMCON was set up. My firm has made money cos no bank died and AMCON gave out bail out funds to people.

That Capital Oil hasn't gone down, when they're indebted to over 50 billion naira (Still haven't paid till date) it was AMCON that paid Skye Bank, access bank and the other banks

You are correct bro.
AMCON saved the day big time. Else we would have been talking about recession earlier than mid-term 2016. Much to the chagrin of BRF that asserted that it was only crude oil price that drove development before now, and not policy.

Stop saying what u don't know... There are procedures for obtaining a licence for private refineries

What can u operate in Nigeria or any other country without licence

I think you picked my post out of context. Check my other post and response on this discuss to get a broad opinion of what I know. Cheers

progress69:
How won't you make this kind of assertion when u have zero knowledge of what you are talking about. You think boiling crude in drums targeting only PMS is refining? Those hys only do that rubbish because they don't buy the crude but steal it, hence they can mess around with it and still make some money. Expand your knowledge, you won't, only to come an form online militants who doesn't even know jack about what they are talking about. And they call others illetrates. Smh for this youths

The fact about designating those small refineries as illegal is due to the laws and regulation guiding the operation of a refinery in Nigeria. Its not about whether the crude was stolen or not.
If a refiner targets only crude while refining, how is it of concern to you, when the flared gases is also a valuable commodity that was estimated in 2014 to be capable of powering our gas power plants if effectively harnessed. I can confidently tell you that a negligible percentage of the petrol we use in Nigeria is sourced from these 'illegal' refineries.

All the local refineries closed by the Navy and the civil defence corp are those operating without refiners licence, which licence is granted by the DPR after due assessment of the venture.

Now, what we are arguing about initially, is that the project at ABU and such other local ingenuity in addition to our moribund FG refinery, should inform the FG to liberalise its policy on local refinery. A change or amendment to the relevant laws on oil refining and mining, aimed at relaxing the hitherto strict procedure for the grant of licence, will see to it that these local ideas at refining are harnessed, put through to proper procedure and utilised to end fuel import and the FX burden.

mrvitalis:
The destroy them because one they steal crude and two it is not safe.. . U most know someone who got burns from kerosene of recent thats why

I bet my degree if they buy crude even if its for $20 dollars per barrel and use that process they won't make any profit

The fact of a private citizen operating a refinery in Nigeria is illegal. Whether he bought the crude or stole it, refining it is alone an illegal act.

Birniwa:
Yet the country sells fuel as high as N175/ltr in many places despite the so-called abundance of refineries in the SS? Illiteracy kills faster than anything at least in our society. I blame your parents.

I think u didn't follow his drift. He meant that there are local refineries in the crreks and villages of SS, but the FG has designated them illegal refinery and is destroying them. Hope they will leave this one in Zaria, cos there has been calls from people for FG to allow those small scale refinery to thrive since our big refineries are moribund.

TonyeBarcanista:
Where was this man when NDA was bursting pipeline in Ijawland?

Where was Jonathan when politicians turned Rivers state to Rivers of blood?

Where was Jonathan when Shia were killed by his government (in 2013) and Buhari government in 2015 simply because they did peaceful procession?

Jonathan, please mind your business! You have no opinion in American Affairs.


Aproko

Go and sit down.
If u have a contrary opinion, you can express it. I bet you don't, but you don't approve of the messenger. Maturity and objectivity has gone to the dogs.

Bubu is/behaves/lives 20something years above his real age,

Where is that albino historian who is good at kissing Northern islamic ass. His reputation has been busted big time

I hope omerue ken never gets to play. His performance is a shadow of his former self. The last goal we conceded in Ndola owes to his loopholes in the left back. Rohr should play shehu instead

My dear President, I hope you are reading this..

He knows wetin dey more than SR

Matchbox is 10naira,
Pure water sachet is 10
One page photocopy is 10-20 naira

5naira has been however added on some items like the 20naira Klin detergent.

And these changes came into operation from 2015, when we expected 'change'. But it think we got what we expected - change.

Mr. Bolaji was one of the best GEJ minister, and I still respect him a lot

@ Maaamaaa

I want you to know (and understand) the make-up of a typical man. He wants to be the one to make the whole decision. He doesn't want to be boxed into a situation and he doesn't like when he has the smaller end of the stick with a woman.

I discover your man is a good and gentle person. Most of the things you said about him suggests that. Tell you the truth, I will put on this exact behaviour if my gf gets pregnant for me, in a similar situation!
But that doesn't mean I don't love her, its just that I was not the one that's making all the decision(I'll feel the pregnancy is boxing me in) and I will feel that I would ve a better option if I had looked elsewhere. But love is there, just over-shadowed by situation. So, live through this hurdle, and see the blessing.

If you try to play the trick that was suggested in this thread on him, and he is the impulsive type or in a bad mood at the moment, he may deny u without blinking an eye, (I can do same) and will regret later when in a better reasoning.

I will tell you also to stop controlling things, allow him to. Everything he should be the one to do as a man, let him do it, and don't query him or pry. Let him be the man. He is in a lot of mental stress now. I see he is the laid-back type, which u see as laziness, suddenly he doesn't like gisting, he is the mental type, not on-the-go... And you are a go getter. Allow him. Don't nag or create more stress. Both of you are just displaying the lack of grasp of personality knowledge in marriage, with a sudden change of status, not contemplated for.

Then to the "marry out of pity" mentality; let me tell you that almost all marriage has a reason. Pity, compassion, respect, interest, body shape, colour, education, voice, pregnancy, religion, family, parents, sibling, make-up, opportunity, luck, favour, likeness, even hatred can make you discover love, where you think it doesn't exist. There is always a reason for every marriage, just pray for understanding in ur partner. Even at the wedding altar, you will start entertaining some doubt if you have made the best choice, serious fear if it will work, and if you won't regret it later, much more when you are making the consideration because of pregnancy. My point is that in reality, there is always a reason for marriage, forget fairy tales.

I am telling you how I would have behaved in similar situation; and I can tell you its normal and typical of most men.

Lastly, don't contemplate abortion, many women are on church altars crying for such blessing, please don't despise urs because of situations around. The situation has gotten so bad now so much so that many guys are impregnating their fiance first before traditional marriage just to be sure their is no incompatibility as regards child bearing

divide9ja:
Spot on bro, you give what you have.
Adeboye has ulterior motives !
You cannot be a true man of God.

I don't subscribe to ur comment tho.

I don't see the need in making distinction between currencies of the world. People give what they have.

The only man still defending the autonomy of the judiciary is the CJN. All other bodies and persons are sinking sand.

peteruapata:
“Take the case of a judge who was implicated
in a N500million bribery, the Petition Review
Committee of the NJC cleared him. This is a
judge who admitted on tape to have collected
bribe.
“It took some persistence by a petitioner
before the NJC could accept to sanction the
Chief Judge of Enugu State. He was retired
after about four petitions against him.
“Another judge accused of demanding
N200million was retired by the NJC when the
law is explicit on what should be done. Now is it reasonable for DSS to still hands over their investigations to the same bias NJC ?

The DSS cannot pick functions for the NJC. You call them biased yet you want it to exercise its power of suspension. In what way has the executive tried to strengthen the NJC as an institution? Except to wade into its functions and then dictate for it. This is not the last government we will have in nigeria, so let's build a process that will last

kcnwaigbo:
The NJC has never said it won't investigate these judges, it only said,they won't be suspended without any investigation and indictment!! These headline is misleading!! The DSS has not written any petition to the NJC for them to investigate, that is what has been stalling the cases

Thank u bro.
DSS has got proof against these judges, but they refuse to yield it for use by the NJC, yet they want the NJC to suspend the judges.
This is wat happens when protocols are flouted, the CJN is the last man standing: NBA has been compromised

In my own opinion, I will make the following points;
When christ mentioned about divorce in the book of matthew and said moses permitted it "because of the hardness of their hearts", it is this kind of situation that was referred to. Remember the situation where some sisters came to moses to give them a portion because their father had no male issue, moses had to concede after God ok'ed it. Situations like this are what christ referred to as the exception, but if you are yet single, go for a wife only.

On another angle, when paul recommended that the position of a bishop should be meant for a man with one wife, he meant also that there are possibilities of polygamy among the congregation. And mind you that this was long after Christ, when doctrines ve been established, and we never can say that paul deviated from christ's doctrine.
On the second angle, a man in my church in similar situation like the Op choose to stay with the two women and children whose marriage has lasted up to 25years: the only thing was that he wasn't a worker(and he was a grounded brother).

I will advice to Op to continue with his marriage, this laws are meant for us, not the other way round. Even christ was clear that marriage is a worldly affair that has no place in heaven, so the idea of the original wife is flawed. I will also advice prayers for direction, its really a dicey situation, but we ought to be humane, especially towards the kids and the 2nd wife, they also are Gods own.

I once did.
The job was becoming a nightmare and the so called boss was saucy up to the heavens. He demanded my all, with no appreciation. I thought I could make a difference and stay(cos he has a bad reputation with worker, who were leaving in droves), but I had to advice myself.
I stayed a full two weeks to at home regain my consciousness and self respect/boldness, before another search.
That was the first time I left a work without a fall back plan

Nigerian press at it again.
The major issue here is that the nominee is not qualified for that job at NCC, but the press wants to use the scrapping of the senate as a smokescreen to cover the sheer incompetence.
This is what our president has been doing since he came in, nepotism and favouritism instead of meritorious appointment. A member of the NCC board with an ordinary diploma obtained just this year. Majority of our graduates ve more than that and are unemployed.
The youth is the disadvantaged here, cos we can see the trend of appointment in this government.

Keneking:
Really...you refer his responsibility as governor/head of state government as charity
This is uncharitable and highly irresponsible comment.
He simply failed his role ...such abdication of responsibility is costing motorists so much pains today.
Nonsense

Why am I arguing with you in the first place? Does it fall within the functions of a state govt to construct/rehabilitate federal roads?

Keneking:
What is Federal about it?
But he dualised the highway from HeadBridge

Thank God he did a part of the work, which is not his to do. We should rather talk about charity.
Since u don't know who to blame, refer to GEJ, Mike onolomemen, now, PMB and BRF. Leave Peter out of it, he cleared his desk.

goodbobo:
Instead of IGBOs to rally round some like Peter Obi and support him they will still bring him down with their mouth . They prefer to support Biafra .

Better to fight for a whole barn, than to struggle for a tuber of yam.

Keneking:
Have you been to Enugu-Onitsha expressway Nonsense write-up

Is that all that's fuelling your angst? A federal road? Please apportion the blame appropriately

Keneking:
Who are you too? Park well close to Umunya ...Nonsense

If you are man enough for a lesson on Mr. PO's legacy in Anambra, humbly ask for a good teacher.

Keneking:
Beautiful nonsense

He disorganised Anambra State ---dividing her along visible lines ---benefiting only him and his alone.

I am sure if he has the chance of becoming a Mayor in UK, he would repeat the same performance. Nonsense.

In UK, his actions (as governor) would not be tolerated for even one month. Hopeless situation. He would have been jailed.

Listening to Bro Lazarus and Emmanuel from Voice of the Cross..Amazing song to calm nerves.

Who are you?
Park well joor

You people should not push pmb to the real nepotism

OP, you can't shave a man's head in his absence. Where is Buhari now? And does he look like he doesn't need Oga Daura?
People be taking panadol on someone else's headache.

Freeze still parades a fiancee, as old as he is.

maasoap:
If I may ask you, where has legality taken us as a nation? You only hear Human rights and legality when famous people are concerned.

The way it is accorded to the famous people, is the same way it is to be accorded to the poor, and that's what we should strive for.
And to ur question, legality is what propels many action, which if not in place, would have reduced all to animal.
You may not like the way we tout it about, but its the foundation of our existence as a nation, all the legal framework of this country is built on it.
If Mr. A becomes president after 2019 and chose to fight corruption in a strange manner different from what we have previously, on what benchmark do we then judge him? Let us keep to the rules for the benefit of posterity.
