PoliticsRe: Tinubu’s Daughter, Folasade, Updates Twitter Bio, Adds ‘First Daughter Of FRN’ by obaidan: 9:00pm On May 31, 2023
At some point we will start hearing of rumors of fight between Folashade and Remi Tinubu...it's only a matter of time. They have captured the nation, na their mission, Nigerians prepare for the next 8 years.

Tinubu,if God does not kill him, has won the second term already. Trashing Ganduje to embrace Kwankwaso the owner of Kano. Pushing Amaechi out and uniting Wike and Magnus Abe. These 2 moves will win him 2.5 to 3 million votes in 2027....

PoliticsRe: NNPC Confirms Increase In Pump Price Of Fuel, Releases Statement by obaidan: 5:10pm On May 31, 2023
grandstar:
Who told you more refineries will reduce the price?

Fun facts: Brent crude is currently 49cents per litre. Multiply by the black market rate of 700 and you have 343.per litre. That is the price before refining costs have been added.

Fun fact: The price is of crude oil is decided internationally. If tomorrow, the price increases to 65cents per litre, the price will go up, even if there are 10,000 modular refineries. They can't purchase their basic raw material at a certain price and sell below production cost.

Fun fact: Refineries are exposed to massive losses

They can buy crude oil at $80 dollars and by the time they want to refineries and sell their refined products,the crude oil price might have crashed to $50.

This bankrupted Otedola in the 2009. He bought diesel in 2008 when the cride oil price was $128/barrel and it had collapsed to $35 in 2009.

For refineries to protect themselves from such volatility, they hedge themselves against such price swings by engaging in forward contracts, options etc.

Perhaps, that's why those in refining call it a "lousy business"

I would appreciate it if an economist 4play or Blue3k, omohayek can explain this better. Please help out with forward contracts and options.(not compulsory though)
not so much by significantly
There's an element of competition or lack of it In price determination of finished product. I get your point u are largely correct, but this little element of competition will shed as much as 30 naira if not more from this 500 naira....this is something

Govt should not subsidize anything. Enough is enough
But do you think 75% of Nigerians can afford the effect of over 500 per liter without any intervention from govt. The implication of this is increase in price of commodities...even school fees, everything will increase without an increase in people's income...this has to be phased out carefully....the thieves importers benefitting from this will hide under the pains of the masses to make the governement unpopular and this govt doesn't need this

Tinubu should be firm with his decision.

Criminals benefiting from the subsidy scam can cry blood, subsidy is gone, make dem go chop the one wey dey don save.

Funds for fuel subsidy will be invested in other sectors for the benefit of Nigerians instead of few criminals.

Yes, it will be difficult but for our good.

For those who said Tinubu is not their president, they can ignore this subsidy removal from Tinubu and comply with Peter Obi's contrary directive.
Unfortunately those criminals benefitting from Subsidy are not the ones that will suffer the brunt of Subsidy removal without putting measures in place to alleviate the effect on the poor people of Nigeria. Subsidy removal should come after a free market system is put in place in the oil and gas sector. Without competition, dangote will be forced to keep the price as high as possible, except govt is now willing to subsidize dangote

inoki247:
Lol what's the adjustment for again I tot they've removed Subsidy why still trying to determine the Price...
Determination of price has to do with deregulation...Subsidy is just a piece in the entire deregulated system.....in my opinion should be the last piece to be removed....the most important one is for the govt to ensure proper competition in the midstream, so refineries can compete against economic othe for customers, otherwise we will just end up with a kind of situation where MTN told us per second billing isn't possible and was selling Sim cards as much as 50k 70k. Create competition, provide effective system that will supply crude to those refineries, support those refineries with policies, tax and all of that...then finally remove Subsidy...if u think u are spending so much on Subsidy, cut out wastage in governance....
PoliticsRe: NNPC Confirms Increase In Pump Price Of Fuel, Releases Statement by obaidan: 3:17pm On May 31, 2023
If the govt will license more modular refineries and subsidize price of crude to Dangote for a few years, so the product can come cheap for people...otherwise the government will remainbunpopular for the entire 8years...the gains of Subsidy removal is not something as immediate as 4 years....especially when things are not in place.

Subsidy removal is an era, all presidential aspirants including pandora Obituary campaigned with it.
Everyone knows Subsidy has to go but it's not reasonable for a president to make pronouncements that will heat up the economic space especially if they understand the hawks operating in the fuel importation sector and how things work in Nigeria. It's not enough to have power as president, some selfish economic interests will sabotage you if u keep making careless statements, the APC crew did same with Goodluck and PDP, so they should know better...and I think it's high time you moved on from Obi. We have a president who should make policies for both obi supporters and non obi supporters..i am sure price of fuel isn't less for u when u showed u are pro-Tinubu or pro-Atiku or anti-Obi...we have a sworn in president already, it's time for governance and assessment of how we are governed...stop the politics already

sonature1:
If Bola Tinubu totally removes the PMS subsidy, that move will worsen the hardship of Nigerians.
i think the losers will be Fuel importers and the fraudsters operating around fuel importation corridor.....what i think will happen is that Dangote will be regulated to a large extent to keep price of fuel reasonable, but that will mean more opportunities for him..maybe a large part of the financial obligation of Dangote refinery will be taken over by the FG or maybe FG directly subsidizing Dangote instead of importers......this would eliminate importers....but that's just my thinking

They will soon be hear to label your dad a Simp without first walking in his shoes.

Once things fall apart and the center cannot hold anymore, separation is the only way out.
Na for matter wey common sense fit resolve una go dey push for divorce, I am an advocate of divorce in a loveless marriage or one where there's no respect but this one can be resolved with ease. It's on the children of the woman to subtly threaten the woman with what's most valuable to every woman(the love of their children)....they should make her know if that man is not happy and not showing sign of happiness, the she gets no love no respect from them.
FamilyRe: My Mum Bullying My Dad Is Getting Out Of Hand!!! by obaidan: 3:11pm On May 28, 2023
You are reasonable. You are doing the right thing...call your mum and talk to her(not scold). Be very frank and firm with her but don't disrespect her. Dont have this talk with her when your father is there. You and your sister should let her know u love your father and you have seen his efforts all through the years and nothing will make u love him less at this point, and that even if ur mum kills him with trouble, the love won't for the man will be taken to the grave and not transferred to her. Your mum may be mean to your dad, but I can assure u the only thing that will reset her is if she sees that how she's treating your dad will only make you(her kids) have some form of dislike for her. No matter how evil a woman is, they love their child to bits and even want to have the kids love them ALONE, when u threaten her with that thing she desires, I think she will start acting right towards ur dad.

Meanwhile talk to ur dad in private. Assure him u love him so much ..let him know u see all he's going through let him know u see his struggle and appreciate all he has done and u believe all is going to be well with him, also tell him if all doesn't even become well, ur success is his success, just d way this worry of his is ur worry too. This will keep the man going and happy and not fall into depression. Make him happy as much as u can

CuriousMind2022:
I am a family-oriented person, I have always dreamt of having a peaceful, loving, and Godly home but unfortunately, the reverse is the case for my wife. I began to understand why family background is very important in a person's life, after getting married. My wife is from a family where they place little or no value on marriage. Her mother had children with 2 men, and my wife is obviously working very hard to follow that same path. She shows little or no enthusiasm in making our marriage work. I am always the one to initiate moves to resolve issues when we quarrel, whether I am right or wrong, I do not care, my focus is just on making my marriage work and my home peaceful.

Young Men, pay attention, up there is the truth. You are the prize.

She will only tolerate u. Happiness is cheap if you open up your brains and eyes

If we tell you the truth now you will say we are bad Belle and after ur marriage
I am assuming you guys didn't have sex before marriage as you are "good christians" but did you guys discuss sex. Looks like having sex with you is now a chore for her, does she even find you sexually appealing. More strange is that she doesnt seem to be bothered bout ur safety whenever you travel. tell yourself the truth, are u really in a marriage, the longer u patch it with someone who doesn't love you and continue loving the person, the more damaged you become...call her and have a make or break talk.....before u realize u have spent 15 to 20 years of your life trying to get your "wife" to love you.
