LudaChriz:
It's been long I saw her/his post or topic on Nairaland, I begin to wonder what could have happened.

The NgeneUkwune that I know would have created more than 109 topics on Edo APC Governorship election and also on Obaseki's defection... Boosting how APC will flog Obaseki at the polls; and most importantly, she/he would have been jumping from topic to topic tagging Obaseki IPOB new found Messiah

NgeneUkwune where are you, I personally miss you

Lalasticlala didn't u miss her/him

If you want to see Batman, just commit a crime at night in Gotham city. If you want to see Miss Ngene, just be patient till the eve of election. grin

Well if not so many pay tax, why waste or siphons the little that is being paid to cronies....

Which road will they renovate, the part where the toll is I guess...

When a road is concessioned, it becomes the duty of the 'owners' to rehabilitate the road and maintain it. The concessionnaire will face a fine if they allow any section of the road degrade without fixing it on time.

there shouldn't be any toll whatsoever. The reason why people pay tax is for government to provide good roads, not to give it to private people to profiteer from it and still give nothing. If government can't do it, its better we maintain statusquo till when God put
His divine hands else...

Not every road will be concessioned, the taxes can take care of other roads not mentioned ehich make up the majority.

By the way, how many people pay taxes in Nigeria and how much taxes do they even pay? In countries where people pay taxes from their noses, they still toll some roads.

Your problem seems to be that private people will 'profit' from roads, not minding that the roads would be made motorable. With the roads being the dilapidated torture channels and death traps which they currently are in the hands of govt, does it actually make you feel better just knowing that no private person profits?

So can you honestly tell me that you’re enjoying the service of your network provider 90%..,are you enjoying the service of phcn 70%...in a normal society people will pay for something that they actually enjoy and can see the benefits...advanced societies pay these taxes and fines willingly cos they can see what their money is used for...why will people pay tolls when the road isn’t something to write home about

Guess what? as bad as PHCN services are today, it would have been worse if it were under govt control - just something you should think about. And yeah, PHCN privatisation might have been badly executed, but the privatisation still remains the BEST option.

Admittedly, you raised some valid points.

The NNPC is the highest shareholder in NLNG with 49% of its shares. Also, Shell owns 25.6%, Total LNG Nigeria Ltd owns 15% and Eni owns 10.4% of its total shares.

Yeah that's right! And the reason the company works efficiently is because Shell (I think) operates it. I wouldnt want to imagine what would become of NLNG if the largest shareholder (NNPC) were to be the operators.

As they are regulating the mobile networks through ncc or electricity abi...investors are out to make money and very fast and don’t forget that it’s the people in government that are the investors

In countries where things work, that's how it is done. YES of course, investors are out to make money, and that's why they will make things work so their income wouldn't stop flowing. The only reason we have a functional telecommunications system in Nigeria from mobile calls to internet is because that sector is under private hands.

And yeah, just like mobile telecoms, if we want things to work in Nigeria, we should be ready to pay for things. There's no alternative.

Project that he will allocate to himself and some cronies at bourdillon like they did with all toll gates in Lagos. Which one benefitted lagosians or you don't realise that if he gives concession at certain distances, you will pay toll after few distances till you get to your destination! That's a rip off, in case you don't know especially when we already paid all forms of road tax ranging from vehicle license to the one embedded in when we buy fuel. Interstate transport becomes more expensive and I promise you, forget all those trash he said, there will be no improvement on the road, just be extorting the already struggling citizens, not to mention the impact on goods and services. This extortion just to make a few richer cos they will start collecting toll before any road transformation .

Whether they allocate it to themselves, it would still be better off in private hands than under govt control. How well has your governments managed anything since 1960?

Covid19 which spread like widfire in other countries miraculously cannot possibly be spreading fast in Nigeria because of what exactly? Because tou believe NCDC wants to make money? You do not think with the contagious rate of the disease (as seen around the world), Nigeria must even have more than the published numbers due to our low testing rate?

Anyway, the stupidity of those who keep saying or inferring that covid19 is fake isnt in doubt; it's actually a global phenomenon, a pandemic on its own widely termed Covidiocy and carriers are called Covidiots!

What has ever been done properly in Nigeria?

The key point to note is that nothing operated by Nigerian govt works.

The only reason we have phones or internet in Nigeria today is cos that sector is run wholly by private companies. The only govt establishment which works well in Nigeria today is NLNG, but that's because it's wholly managed/operated by the IOCs.

If the sale of refineries by OBJ to a serious individual like Dangote wasnt reversed by Umaru, Nigeria wouldnt currently be importing 99.9%% of its petroleum products (regardless of how bad that privatisation may have been handled). Have the refineries been faring better under govt control?... This needs no answer.

In summary.... Has privatisation been done properly in the past in Nigeria? NO!

Can privatisation be done properly? YES

Even if privatisation is executed poorly, do the assets/establishments have a better chance of survival under private hands? YES!

You're actually the very unwise one for thinking there's anything strange or unusual about covid19 having similar symptoms with malaria. Do a basic google search and find out about covid19 symptoms yourself; you dont have to wait for NCDC to tell you anything.

Lol... Overhyping you call it right? You're obviously very late to the party.

Warfare in 2020 isnt all about guns and bombs, you obviously dont realise the sheer economic power and stronghold China has on the whole world today. You simply dont understand the size of China's economy and how it can manipulate the world with that.

Then when we proceed to physical warfare, you clearly still dont get what it means for a country to be a nuclear power. China's defence budget is next only to the US and its overall military firepower is next only to the US and Russia; China also keeps expanding its fire power so rapidly, even the US is worried.

Food › Re: Secret To Cooking Nigerian Party Jollof Rice by obailala(m): 7:48pm On Jun 16, 2020

pocohantas:
My aunt is a caterer and she doesn’t use firewood. She is a PREMIUM caterer and her jollof is bam! The secret is NOT firewood.

It is a type of pepper na.

Food have been burning in homes without firewood. Anything can burn food with the right intensity. Yes, burning accentuates the taste if all other is gotten right.

I didn’t say they are compulsory, they make my stock richer. Caterers use “safe“ seasonings for their stock too. So, they are not so “dispensible”.

Haha... trust me, this issue has been extensively debated by the 'council' and resources were released to conduct extensive experimentation. Of course those ingredients and processes you mentioned help to give it a richer taste, but you see that unique party taste? The burning of the rice is the key key factor which produces that aroma.

A lot of people may say firewood is the reason, but from research, all the firewood really does is to burn the food at the bottom and sides of the pot. I agree with you, food has been burning in homes, but 'burn' pass 'burn'!

I created a thread previously; How To Make Home Made Ewa Agonyin and despite the “criticism”, I am glad it helped some people.

For today, I would like to remind us that we have jollof rice and we have party jollof rice. I don’t need to explain the difference between the two, we all know as e dey go. I get bored with the former, never the latter. I have watched this being cooked a few times and they didn’t put anything special, none that I saw at least, but I never quite got it. Always ended up with sweet concoction rice.

It took me sometime to figure out the process and there has been no going back.

To get this, you have to be thorough and generous with ingredients. There is really no magic.

@pocohantas

After intensive research on the secret behind party jollof rice, I stumbled upon something which I can tell you with absolute confidence is the only magic ingredient - FIREWOOD. All those other ingredients you mentioned are dispensible.

Following further research on the 'how' and the 'why' firewood does the magic, I discovered something else; firewood always burns the sides of the pot. In summary, the real taste of party jollof comes from burning the rice.

I don't have business with what is happening in other states. Let everyone speak for their state. Since Uzodimma was imposed on Imo State by the Fulani, Fulani herdsmen have been on rampage in Imo State. Bishop of Owerri diocese has also raised alarm and the Supreme Court governor is doing nothing about it and you want Imo people to relax since Fulani is also killing in other states. I am ashamed of people like you who I share the same country with.

Oga quit trying to mask your political sentiments and prejudices under the cloak of 'patriotism', you aren't talking to children; stop politicising a tragedy. Everyone knows there's a Fulani herdsmen problem all over the place, show us how critical you've been of other neighbouring governors from your useless party who have also performed extremely badly at protecting their states. Don't give me that crap about being concerned only about Imo state; Imo isn't an Island. You can't be so concerned about Imo state but show absolutely no regard for next door neighbours like Abia and Enugu.

A governor who you obviously hate just got into power weeks ago, you call for his immediate sack following one isolated incident of terrorism; you haven't even cared to know what his response would be or how the issue would be handled, infact you even basically inferred that Uzodimma is the reason the attack happened in the first place.... You haven't shown a tiny fraction of this same animosity towards leaders of neighbouring states ruled by the other party where the attacks are more frequent and with zero response, but you claim you aren't being political?

I'm not only ashamed of sharing a country with people like you too, I'm also ashamed of sharing a state with cunning humans like yourself. Nonsense!

But these same herdsmen have been killing people in other SE states, worse of them is Enugu state where a major massacre was done not too long ago by the terrorists.

Buhari will go and let's see if herdsmen would go on with their killings spree

Key point to note; you only started 'hearing' of them when Buhari became president because that was the time politicians wanted you to hear of them - 2015 was the right time the crisis became a useful tool in the hands of politicians.

In 2014, fulani herdsmen were ranked 4th most dangerous terror group in the world after ISIS, boko Haram and Taliban. If this was their designation in 2014, do you still think they started causing trouble only in 2015 when Buhari came to power?
