The question ought to be- 'why are Toyota cars so unnecessarily expensive'

Dang! I thot I was the only one that noticed it. Can you imagine camry 2000 going for more than a mill? you no even fit near corolla. whereas you can get a good altima for about N750.

LOL!! very unusual from OP!  wetin dey happen?  

Nissan tends to have issues compared with toyota. my brother-in-law bought a dircect toks Nissan Sentra and its engine knocked just after a year

^^you no like your own?

OP obviously miscalculated. even if we assume a tanker capacity of about 30 litres, 59million litres, the highest figure quoted so far will give about 1,966 tankers. . .about 54 per state.

Nonetheless, there are still serious question begging for answers.

with the mind-boggling revelation from CBN we had spent almost N2t (!!!) subsidizing fuel the previous year, one can only but imagine truly chilling scale of the fraud that was in the oil sector.

for those claiming that Abubakar, apparently being one of them will do a better job. . .well we shall see.

@OP, as one who have MADE MILLIONS of $$$$$ in internet marketing and other online business, I must congratulate you for making the right choice.

There are however some important facts to note in order to become sucessful:


Develop an insatiable, unquenchable thirst and love for money. It should be all-consuming. You must sleep money, dream money, wake money. Your very existence should be predicated on MONEY! MONEY!! MONEY!!!I can't stress this enough.

Be ready to deceive people. If you have scruples about swindling people of their hard earned money, then this job is not for yu.

Train yourself one how to sweet talk potentially unwary customers about the benefits of the package. It doesn't matter if you haven't used it or don't even believe in it.

Always ensure to you back up your offers with time limits. This encourages clients to act without proper thought.

Use numbers like: 24 ways to make money online; 47 profit making venture, etc. research has found this rather than round numbers (e.g 20, 30) are more likely to deceive convince potential subscribers.

more to come. . .

The question is this: If the guy was not armed and firing back at the police why did it took the police 5 fvcking hours to tame or kill him?

you really have to wonder. if, according to the tale by his brother, an innocent businessman was able to resist well armed personnel  for over four hours, then I shudder to think what a real militant would do. nonsense. 

i.e we spent almost N2t on some bogus fuel subsidy last year, representing almost 50% of the entire budget

My goodness. . .

The duo of Ngozi Iweala and Dieziani are claiming respectively that we  consume 35 million litres and 59 million litres of fuel on daily basis. Now what this means is that over one hundred thousand tankers will be lifting fuel every day with each state getting not less than 2,500 tankers on daily basis.a tanker loads a maximum of about 33 thousand litres of fuel each. This also means that as over hundred tankers are taking off from depot today another one hundred and something thousand tankers will be there now waiting to lift the one of tomrrow. It continues like that until the previous one hundred thousand tankers off loads and returns to depot.  How real does this rooster and bull story sound?

Its funny isn't it? Although I think the 59million claim, incredulous as it sounds, was attributed to Mr Reginald of PPPRA:

But the Executive Secretary of Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), Mr Reginald Stanley, said the country consumed 59 million litres of petrol daily indicating a differential of 24 million litres.

The NAtion


her claims were that we were already consuming more than 40m litres/ day as of 2010:

he said in 2006, daily consumption was 26. 9 million litres per day and by 2008, it has increased to 38.5 million litres. I also added that by 2010, our daily consumption was found to be 46.9 million litres. The reason that I could give those particular figures was that in general, daily consumption was usually taken as what was delivered with the exception of end of year stock, she added.

Diezani: Daily petrol consumption is 49m not 35m litres

The question is who do we now believe? Okonjo, Reginald or Allison. . .or none?? 

The funny thing is some countries actually tried printing excess money in the past, eg Zimbabwe. You all know what happened.

Chill out guys. Do You really think the president would have been unaware of charges agaiinst Abubakar?

the fact is FG had obviously run out ideas on how to tackle the sect. This appointment is clearly meant to commence an  informal dialogue with Boko Haram--apparently the only option left. What better to achieve that than appointing one of their own to the helm?

Sorry, but this is totally silly. its like employing a known p.edophile to care for your children because he knows all other p.edophiles out there and therefore be able to ward them off.

After 10 years, the US have not successfully curbed al-quaeda.
They are leaving iraq a failed mission.

Should we recruit from them?

at least within the US their police force has not done a bad job.

cnario:
The Justice Niki Tobi panel constituted in September 2001 by former Governor Joshua Dariye on the Jos crisis had recommended the retirement MD Abubakar from the Police force. He ws also with Biu in d airport bomb cover up during Abacha era. D blast that killed Dr Omoshola.

In a White Paper released in Jos, the panel suggested that AIG Abubakar should be dismissed if he refuses to retire.

The panel said: "Religious fanatics should not be posted to head state police commands. The commission recommends that for his ignoble role during the September 2001 crisis which resulted in the loss of lives, the former Commissioner of Police, Plateau State Command, Alhaji M.D. Abubakar, be advised to retire from the Nigeria Police Force and in the event of his refusal to do so, he should be dismissed from the service."

Abubakar from Zamfara State who was indicted twice between 2004 and 2006 by a Jos crises Panel, is alleged to have sponsored some Islamist Militant Group when he was Commissioner of Police in Bauchi and Plateau States.

[size=15pt]come O! wetin be all this wey I dey read so?   :oIs it really conceivable that GEJ would knowingly appoint an indicted man to such a sensitive position? especially at a critical time like this??
[/size]
What the h*ll is really going on?  

not encouraging at all

there are they leaving to?

where OP naa?

two threads?

propagandists are evidently having a field day. A letter was reportedly also sent to OTukpo in Benue state. text messages have been circulating to that effect.

Yes, as a matter of fact, we have, long before the Kano incident took place.  mr fake news peddler

murtala mohd of blessed momeory

how do we know that is kano in the first place??

At present both degrees are on the same level: conhess 9 in federal establishments.

as for the objection by doctors, the truth of the matter is that most of the opposition to the degree came, very, very sadly indeed, from within the profession.  Of worthy mention is a renowned professor of pharmacology at Unilag who was so uncompromising and vocal in his resistance to the degree that I believe affected the progress of the its implementation for some time. But for the truly commendable efforts of scholars like Professors Okahamfe, Obianu (now rtd), and many others at Uniben, I'm not sure that it would have seen the light of day.

the doctors that oppose it really don't know what its about. they felt it was an attempt to 'usurp their authority' (??). that's not true.

6000 refineries? do you guys know how much space a single refinery occupies? nonsense!!

Any help from outside to combat this deadly sect will be welcomed.

any confirmation?

[b]I must confess i am really getting bored with all these igbos are being massacred, genocide against igbos, pogrom against igbos etc. Are you guys the only tribe that is being marginalised/victimised in Nigeria? [/b]For your information more northerners have died as a result of this boko haram onslaught, so whats all these fuss about igbos being killed. Please stop the blame game hold your leaders/governors accountable for whatever fate that befalls you. Lest i forget, what about the people of ezza and ezilo community in ebonyi state that were killing each other over land dispute. Whom are you going to blame for that? Boko haram or the northerners?

One would find it very difficult to fault your observation. As much as I sympathize with all those Igbos who have lost loved ones to the senseless killings, the ''world against against Igbo'' mentality doesn't help matters.
