He meant taking their boat closer to the gun boat.....like lap lap lap dem

Yeah that's what I'm saying, after the instruction to 'lap,' he skipped the next events and then arrived at the point where they were carting away the spoils.

Legitbaba:
U no knw the meaning of lap It means so many things.....it could me come, go, bring close, go close etc....like saying "come see me for house"....u could put it "come lap me for house"

But in this suspect's own context, I doubt 'lap' means 'come, go, bring close, go close'

This picture though... abeg who knows the name of that woman?... Time to start keying into her ministry.

agongajoseph:
I hail the mind of this boys.....my oga say "Lap lap lap"..... certified gangster, bloods n crips dey learn......this one no b street.

I swear, these guys are on a different level. See how cool the guy even narrates the story? after he mentioned the order from oga to "lap, lap, lap", while I was still waiting for him to explain what they meant by lap, he calmly jumped into the next verse of his narration talking about how they carted away the high calibre spoils.

Niger deltans and militancy like

Militancy is just the euphemism for armed robbery in the Niger delta. Most of these guys are just normal armed robbers who mask themselves under the title of militancy.

Fvckin hell..

Standing logic on it's head.
You reduced over 50% of your expenses at the same time losing your savings despite the fact you are still earning salary, no matter how small, worst still the economy crashed, that is the hallmark of failed economic management.

I'm curious to know the upright logic through which you arrived at 50% reduction in expenses?... Just before you start explaining your logic, the CBN blocking the granting of forex for 41 items, that doesnt mean the items have stopped being imported. Rather it means the importers of those items now have to get their forex from the black market (which still represents overall forex flight from Nigeria).

So I am curious to know how you arrived at this 50% figure, did Nigerians stop importing foods like rice or wheat, or did we stop importing petroleum products or did we stop granting foreign businesses like airlines the forex equivalent of their income which they remit to their countries?.. Where exactly did this 50% figure come from?.....

And just a final reminder, global price of oil has dropped in the range of like 60-70% and in addition, oil production has also dropped significantly, thanks to the avengers. So let's assume our imports have really dropped by 50% like you claim; a 60-70% drop in forex income paired with an alleged 50% drop in imports, do those figures sound equal to you?.... And yet you still ask why the foreign reserves drops?.. Oh I forgot, 'it just has to be Buhari the dullard.'

Bros... I'm sure you know better than this, but the deep prejudice you have has certainly blocked everything.

Themandator:
Your type knows how to reason for all this while but refused to make use of it under the last government but resorted to insult.

Do you imagine the last government doesn't know what it was do get when it embarked on discriminatory implementation of tsa or you don't know that the needless aggressive pursuit of tsa is a major reason for the decline.

Our monies with commercial banks are not and weren't missing or stolen as they had documents on them otherwise, an order to return them to CBN would not have done it.

Oh I see! Implementation of TSA is now the reason behind the economic downturn.

luvinhubby:
And the economy was never in recession in all those periods.

Like I said before, why dont you just reason wisely without allowing your prejudice to block your judgement?... If a man loses his job today, would the hunger and kwashiokor appear immediately?... I'm sure you know these things but the prejudice you have against the government keeps getting on the way of your objectivity.

Talking about recession, are you not aware that as soon as oil prices began to crash, our growth rate began a steady decline?... That it got to the negative realm in 2016 does not mean the problem started in 2016. Make una try dey reason like educated people small abeg else you just make these arguments on this site very boring; I know you are not a kid and neither are you an illiterate.

Who shall flog the pastor now?... Meanwhile the 2 men look like filthy gays?

luvinhubby:
The irony of this whole economic saga is that cargo volume of imports in our wharfs dropped by 50%, 41 items ( including monster forex consumers like fuel & rice), have been blacklisted from CBN forex sales & the reseves keep dwindling.

So who & what is depletting our reserves?

We'll keep praying.

Within the last 6 months of GEJ when oil still sold for up to $65-$70, Nigeria's foreign reserves nosedived rapidly from $38.5bn to $28.5bn, i.e. $10bn lost in just 6 months. Now you still ask what the importance or effect of all those forex and import restrictions under Buhari are?

Are you aware that following those restrictions you listed, the reserves have only lost about $3bn in 16 months even though oil prices have since further crashed to less than half of what it was when we were already losing $10bn in the last regime?

Had we continued at the rate we were going when oil prices began to crash under GEJ, i.e. losing $10bn in 6 months, are you not aware Venezuela would have been a child's play by now?

I understand some of you feel you have a duty to criticise this government's handling of the economy, but it would be beneficial to criticise wisely.

faladeSM1132:
Mr man did you read this news before tying?
Ho i don't think so
Because the News says we have over $30b dollars when PMB get to power,
Are you telling me this regime can not put our economy in shape with that figure of dollars?
The problem we are facing now have started since the beginning of this government,
How can you stop all root of forex in your country just a day without solid process?
Almost 80% of what we don't produce in Nigeria is contraband now and we can't do in a day without consuming this products .
There is money in Nigeria but we still don't have good manager, that's it

Nigeria imports more than it exports; Nigerians spend more forex than we make, what is too difficult for an educated person to understand in that?

The CBN/FG has tried its best to block the spending of forex on unimportant things, but that is obviously not enough because the cost implications of Nigeria's thirst for foreign stuff (from petrol to kerosene to even the staple foods like the rice we eat in every home) is still higher than whatever it is we make from exports, hence the foreign reserves will inevitably go down. If the CBN completely blocks imports and totally kills the manufacturing sector and most import based businesses, you will still be the one to complain that the measures are too harsh.

Meanwhile regarding the banned products, are you aware that in the last 6 months of GEJ when oil prices had only began to crash, Nigeria's foreign reserves crashed uncontrollably from $38bn to $28bn?... i.e. $10bn in just 6 months even though oil still sold above $65 then and we had none of these vandalisms... but since the new government came in, the rate of depletion of the reserves has been just about $3bn in 16 months even though oil prices have since fallen to less than half of what it was within those last 6 months of GEJ.

People need to educate themselves with simple facts instead of running online to make baseless claims and accusations.

And by the way, you asked if the administration couldnt put the economy in shape with $30bn reserves?.. Sorry, that $30bn is just like the remaining life of the economy, you dont spend the economy to rescue the economy; that is madness especially at a time when the nation's income had crashed except you want to automatically bring in the Venezuelan situation. A working man who refused to save or start a business suddenly loses his job, you dont expect him to dip his hands into his last bit of cash which is even barely enough for his next month's food bill and rent; that is foolishness.

Bullet1234:
Which foreign reserve they drop? I thought they said GEJ left nothing? Pathological liars.

A papa gives a child N1000 to return to school for a new semester, and someone thinks this makes sense because it isnt zero Naira. Abeg make una try to dey use brain if una get am na?

This looks like a tombstone

Bayelsa has no reason to owe anyone. Efcc wake up

11cows4sale:
bayelsa has 95B wit 8 lGA,yet dey own salary

Tinyemeka:
What has Bayelsa been doing with their allocations?!

In addition to what you have up there, they still receive some mega bucks from NDDC and ND ministry. But dont be dismayed, the real reason Bayelsa (and by extension, the rest of the ND) is still in a mess is because Hausas and Yorubas have been siphoning the money away to go develop Lagos and other cities even whilst the NDeltans languish in squalor.

At least that is the theory several 'wise' people and prophets online and offline have been spreading lately. Even NDA and the Ultimate Warriors and co have been acting appropriately on this intelligence.

Is the industrial action against the FG, State governments or is it against NDA or oil price or what exactly?

Meanwhile how can there be a planned strike for 23rd of August when the 23rd of August is already almost over?

unikprince:
God please help my community, restore peace to this food basket of imo state, give brains n common sense to our youths to be useful with their life, Awarra court area was once a peaceful & hospitable place to be, our major occupation is mainly farming and hunting until this "evil" oil was discovered in commercial quantity in our farmlands. Shell found the Africa largest deposit of gas in Assah but are yet to commence work on the proposed $3.5b gas plant because of greed among our leaders, insensitive of successive governments, there causing restiveness among our mainly illiterate youths. Watersmith petroman and other oil companies operating in my community are not helping matters. No good road network, no hospitals, no good school, and the worst of all no electricity. The few graduates are roaming about without jobs. God we need your intervention.

This is really sad!

LORDOFAFONJAS:
And you quoted me for all these rubish ba?

Oh yes I quoted you cos I was responding to what you put up there.

Something just going through my mind, 'what are the chances that these apprehended guys are the real culprits?'.... Anyway, hopefully they are.

Dcomrade:
We need empirical evidence to prove she didn't say it..

Was there ever any empirical evidence that she said it?.... Don't you think you're jumping the gun?

can't wait for 2019 to come

Most people have strangely still not recovered from their election loss since last year, a lot have been displaying some of the weirdest symptoms of post election loss trauma even 1.5 years after. Regarding your last sentence, I can't imagine what will happen to some of those people when APC wins again, suicide may become pure water in Nigeria, but ;DGod forbid!

I swear Oshio na bastaard

People are dying of hunger, hopes are being lost. Anything to restore peace, if not for anything else, at least just the peace of gas pipelines so we can have power supply stabilised, whatever attempt to restore this peace is welcome.

Our Oil for south or the Cocoa money or una groundnut money?

Once say no be our oil money, then no wahala

Something I have noticed about the loudest 'our oyel' chanters is that they are actually from communities and local governments that dont produce even a drop of palm oil. No time to engage with empty vessels.

TheGoodJoe:

Please, the Big Igbo men are developing Abuja and Lagos.

And that exactly is the problem. Capt. Iheanacho who wanted our votes in the Imo gubernatorial elections last year plans to site his refinery in Lagos, that is exactly what the problem is. But of course, many heads have been blocked irreparably to see this, its just easier for a simpleton to pass blames to 'others.'
