These are the kind of useless policies you get when you have clueless dinosaurs in positions of authority, courtesy of corruption, nepotism and kakistocracy.

With this new policy, if I'm to predict the potential trajectory of the majority of students, an otherwise brilliant pupil gets to SS3 at 16, and then graduates to Yahoo-Yahoo academy. Other engaging factors would be drugs, gangs, prostitution etc. By the time they clock 18, the child's brain would be frozen from inactivity. They then sit for waec and jamb and fail repeatedly until they eventually either give up as dropouts.

By the end we would have substituted a generation of brilliant minds for yahoo yahoo dropouts.

Oando, being a major player in both the upstream and downstream oil sector decides to acquire AGIP, a partly foriegn state owned oil company.

Is AGIP now NNPC ?

And fyi, IOCs are pulling out of Nigeria owing to series of challenges. Here are just a few :

1. Western countries are heavily demonising hydrocarbon exploitation and use. AGIP gets taxed heavily in their native country of Italy.

2. Climate change policies has seen to a drastic cut in institutional investors and banks investing in hydrocarbon extraction .

3. Insurance cover for these IOCs has astronomically risen owing to oil theft, vandalism and other security challenges in the Niger Delta.

4. AGIP like every other IOC have been given tax breaks and govt subsidies to invest in so-called renewable energy.

With the above, all IOCs in Nigeria are scaling back or existing Nigeria all together.

I don't even know why a local player taking over assets of an IOC is a problem. For one, the capital flight by IOCs will be over just as most of you see Dangote refinery as a relief from importing refined crude products from Europe.

Another thing to ponder on is that the acquisition by Oando of AGIP was not done in secrecy. Before such a deal will go through, both the regulatory bodies and shareholders in both companies must agree to such a deal. Once that is done, it is required by law to deposit the details of such acquisition/merger in a Federal High Court and a pre announcement given of the deal. This is to ensure that anybody not in support of the deal can approach the courts to halt the acquisition. Same similar scenario is playing out in First Bank over the governing board decided to issue additional shares. Some shareholders have taken the management and shareholder board to court to stop the issuance of additional shares on the Nigeria stock market.

Now with all this in play , can you tell me what wrong Oando committed ?

Can Oando a private company be barred from acquiring another private venture?

If you want to complain, then let's look at how Obi used state funds to invest in his own company. Now that there is the real corruption.

Obi did not even innugurate a State Investment Board. Rather only him oversaw the collective wealth of Anambra state directly into businesses he held substantial shares in.

I was reading this and it seemed to be making sense until OBI's name strangely entered the analysis.

Abeg wetin concern OBI and AGIP and OANDO?

Is there anything that happens in Nigeria today without OBI's name being mentioned?

The person preaching to you that the world's going solar is busy buying cheap raw materials from you to build his 50th coal plant.

When we say Tinubu is inept, reckless and insensitive to the plights of Nigerians some moronic numkskulls we call us names.
How do you purchase a 150 billion aircraft for your personal use in a country where millions of the citizens cannot afford 1 decent meal in a day

The $100million (N150billion) price tag dubiously bandied about by the presidential spokesperson is just the face value. After acquiring such luxurious jets, it's standard practice to reconfigure it to desired style and taste.

I can bet my last dime an additional $20-50 million dollars was spent in reconfiguring that aircraft before delivering it to Nigeria. Actual cost of that jet should be in the range of N200-250billion.

Nigeria has some of the most insensitive leaders in the world, and of course some of the most foolish followers. A look around this thread and you'd see some foolish followers who cant afford danfo fare defending such wasteful expense.

The problem has never been the poliicians; the real epidemic we have as a nation is the multitude of idiots that hail and defend the sleaze even when they personally profit nothing from the politicians.

This sounds like a cover-up diversionary story, i.e. placing someone inconsequential as the face of the real syndicate. Obviously Abdulkabir Adisa Aliu would be nicely compensated for this.

Given the massive leap in import figures from Malta, I strongly believe someone at the very top is behind the operation.

Not interested,

Stop airing this cheap xxvideos please, what is the significance of this show

Dont people ever get tired of asking this question?

The management of this uni and nairaland want to shove the school down our necks.

Before I collect money from my siblings, I need to write a 450-word proposal. That doesn't even guarantee anything.
In this life, pray to have caring people around.

This must be cos you have a reputation of always borrowing money and likely not repaying on time or perhaps they have to remind or beg you before you repay.

Truth is that even a tight-fisted person would gladly lend money to a person who has a good credit history. There're some people who can ask for my entire salary and will get it within 5minutes. It just depends on the credit reliability of the borrower.

madridguy:
Let her go home. She is not a Yoruba woman. Speaking Yoruba language no make you a Yoruba woman.

The kidnappers arrested in Ijebu, Ogun State recently are all omo ibo speaking Yoruba language.

Go and protest in your home state.

Although a known sycophant, I actually thought this madridguy had some bit of sense. But apparently the die-hard allegiance to Tinubu and APC has a way of shamelessly bringing out the worst in some of you.

Ibrahimcoomasie:

...but do you have enough brain to show proof or evidence that they were paid to protest?

Lying and making up rubbish say a lot about you and the ugly side of Nigeria.

You are intolerant and undemocratic, you can't accept the fact that other Nigerians have constitutional rights to protest just like you.

Do your protest and respect the rights of other Nigerians to do the same.

Like I said, no one here is an idiot not to know that those anti-protest protesters were paid. There's even some threads on that, and it doesnt take more than common sense to figure it out.

That being said, I have neither the time nor energy to engage in a meaningless argument with another government defending sycophant. So good day!

idealogical:
So, other Nigerians must not protest because they have no constitutional rights to protest and when they do, they must be paid and sponsored?

Are you being paid and sponsored to protest also?

This is the problem with intolerant people, undemocratic and anti Nigerian elements.

Oga you arent talking to a child born yesterday please so stop whipping up this lame and pointless defence. Anyone with a brain knows that the anti-protest protesters were paid by politicians (or at least promised some form of payment). There's even a thread on this forum with some of the protesters complaining they stilll havent been paid. So quit the nonsense theatrics, no one here is a fool.

Naija activists no dey carry last, very soon den go demand limousine, champagne and gourmet food..

Den go protest against hardship from inside air-conditioned bus.

Bunch of clowns..

The government keeps preaching that "protests are bad and unpatriotic", but the same buffoons went around to organise their own paid protests against the planned protests.

If the government can use air-conditioned buses to ferry their paid protesters, then why can't the clowns provide air-conditioned buses for other protesters?

Philipponzaghi:
Peter Obi is just trying to play damage control.

The more he talks, the more he loses support. Everyone can see he's struggling to keep his house in order.

Loses support from who exactly? .. losing support from hungry characterless political jobbers and thugs?

And now the same imbeciles are telling Nigerians that it's unpatriotic to protest.

APC leaders, stalwarts, activists, sycophants and thugs are highly experienced in protests, which places them in a really advantageous position to neutralise any such uprising. The APC anti-protest strategy is simple:

Day 1: Mobilise some hungry youths (like our resident Helinues) on the promise of N2000 to stage counter protest.
Day 2: Unleash thugs on the streets to attack peaceful protesters. Once the clash begins, send the military and police to arrest and shoot peaceful protesters while carefully avoiding their paid thugs who started the mayhem.
Day 3: Aggressively send out propaganda to the streets claiming the protest is an Igbo protest (some top officials are already on this path). This approach is especially potent as the Nigerian Igbophobia happens to be a greater force than even hunger and insecurity combined.

Once the above happens, the protest dies a natural death; not because it's an especially smart approach, but rather due to the prevalence of illiteracy and poverty in the land.

Goodvibes007:
It's not may. It has already been hijacked by Obidients and the IPOB(s) amongst them. It has political colouration all over it.

It's totally true that the protest has been hijacked and is now political. But hijacked by who exactly?

I fear that from Day 1 it would be hijacked by APC thugs and govt agents, just like the EndSARS protest which were 100% peaceful and carnival-like for 3 full weeks until APC counter-protest thugs and soldiers were sent into the streets to attack peaceful Nigerians.

About the protest being politicised, despite the excruciating hunger and hardship in the land, the fact that ONLY Tinubu and APC supporters, sycophants and thugs are vehemently vocal against any protests already speaks volumes on how the protests have been politicised by APC.

Lol... Isiguzo Faction of Ohaneze again!

A fake faction of ohaneze headed by a Tinubu ass licking sycophantic APC member called Isiguzo. Sometimes these headlines need to be made clearer.

Atiku openly supports protest with his full chest, but watchout as some cretins will still blame OBI.

The rate at which govt officials and supporters keep emphasising the need for peaceful protests, one can already foretell that the protest will get violent because the same APC vermins claiming to call for peaceful protest will be the ones to send their thugs into the streets on Day 2 to scatter things. These APC guys are highly experienced in Nigerian protests; they know exactly how to neutralise a protest even before it starts.

Looking back at the last major protest in Nigeria (End SARS), the processions were largely peaceful and organised for 3 weeks until the govt chose to send out soldiers to shoot at peaceful protesters, after which they sent out counter thugs to attack protesters.

Another sure way the APC knows to tackle the protest is simply to label it an Igbo protest; once that's done, the protest is dead in the north and large parts of the south west.

haslaw:
Yet it was the same Obi that his IP0B/0BIDIENTS have been attacking Dangote's refinery since last year when Buhari commissioned it.

I dont know why IP0B/0BIDIENTS thinks Nigerians have short memory.
Was it not the same Obi that was "deporting" northerners out of Anambra while he was governor?
Was it not same Obi as governor that locked up El-Rufai in his hotel room in Anambra?
Was it not same Obi that said he could not be found campaigning in Katsina while he was governor?


Same Obi will now expect northerners to vote for him because he thinks northerners don not have sense ba?

I'm sorry but what exactly is the point in all these your directionless rantings and what does it have to do with Dangote refinery which we're talking about?

OBI has passed a simple message on the imperativeness of Dangote refinery working successfully, especially given it potential impact on Nigeria's currently battered economy. The point made is clear to all intelligent people but obviously it cant be clear to everyone on the streets.

So feel free to take your useless political, tribal, religious, ipob and other pointless rantins to your closest motor park where you will gladly find like minds willing to engage you.

haslaw:
Same Pandora de Obi's boys who have been attacking Dangote for many years.

No one hated Dangote's refinery as much as IP0B/0BNIDIENTS.

Bitter Obi is only trying to make it look like he is fighting for Dangote so that northerners will think he loves them and it will never work because northerners can still remember how Obi deported their brothers from Anambra while he was governor.

Just imagine this one trying so hard to reduce this to a tribal / political issue. Spits!

Anyone with the slightest whiff of patriotism and economic sense understands that the success of Dangote refinery would greatly help Nigeria's economy. OBI is clearly not the unpatriotic greedy political charlatan that you try to portray him as. Obi has always been a supporter of the Dangote refinery project even before his presidential declaration.

jjflyj11:
Obi must use this thread, shey e won talk say make dem no support dangote before? Everyone knows this, we don’t need to be reminded.

Typical Nigerian should not pity dangote or any billionaire in dollars in Nigeria. They aren’t helping anyone, imagine adenuga who is from ogun state could build thousands of real estate and give it out, he’s capable of doing that, we are talking about billions of dollars, the project will cost merely 10m/20m dollars to build 100 of thousands regular homes. A Boxer around the world did it, built thousands of home for his whole community

Dangote is doing close to nothing for Nigeria,man is the richest black man, country where he lives shouldn’t be called poverty capital of the world. We got few other multi millions too above 500m dollars, they will rather lavish the money in monaco or Dubai

Dangote knows he’s about to go on social baba drop lamba recently that he doesn’t have house anywhere apart from Nigeria. 100% he has luxury apartment in London, Singapore, Dubai, NY, and other places, na only fool go believe that lamba. Na hotel bi the house e dey during lock down wey won girl post am abii? Richest black man in the world, someone that brought bill game to his child’S wedding, he’s big in the whole world.

Dangote's money belongs to Dangote and it's his sole prerogative to spend it however he pleases. He doesnt owe anyone any kobo.

That being said, Dangote's refinery success isnt about the man Dangote; it's rather about Nigeria's economic liberation. Even if Dangote chooses to be greedy and sells fuel for N2000 and becomes a dollar trillionaire, the success of that refinery would still have monumental positive impact on Nigeria's economy. In otherwords, that refinery working would positively impact the life of every Nigerian.l, not just Dangote.

Governor's party always wins ALL LGA elections. LGA elections have always been a monumental show of shame in Nigeria.

UAE has a list of terrorist sponsors Tinubu release it let them see.

UAE provided a list of unlicensed international money transfer and bureau de change operators. That list is nonsense! And that explains why the Nigerian govt was quick to publish it.

blacknp:
Mr Man who are you, Reno Omokri I know, what is your first & last name?

Your existence is of no value to me, and neither is my existence of any value to you. So why should I bother explaining who I am to you?

All I did was to point out to you that I've never been a fan of Reno cause of his obvious divisiveness. I was never his fan when he was PDP, and never his fan now he's desperately trying to romance APC. If this simple piece of info is too complex for your brain to comprehend, then there's nothing I can further explain to you that you will comprehend.

blacknp:
You must be one & same.

If you dont know me, ask! Stop making useless generalisations... I've never been a fan of Reno and probably never will; I've also always fought and called out his divisiveness even here on Nairaland as far back as 2010-2013 when he was still active here before he got into govt.

So like I said earlier, if you dont know who you're talking to, the sensible thing to do is to ask or do a little back research instead of making meaningless assumptions.
