You are not an igboman. stop lying.
It downgrades the quality of your post.

xtrorse:
You're always masturbating on Igbo issues.

Check the records for the past decades by consulting Google and see that the previous cut-off points have been set abnormally high for Igbo States. Other States results have been much lower than this year's in comparison to Igbo's.

You dare accuse Igbos of self-centeredness, even when you know that Igbos have shown more 'Nigerianness' than your most preferred tribe?

As per hatred, such hatred had commenced in full gear since the days of Ahmadu Bello.
In case you're not in the know bid me to show you historical facts to back my assertion.

This is so disheartening as the injustice continues where even a female child from Anambra has to score 66 and above to get admission while a child from sokoto has to score only 7 to get same. Is it fair? Where is the merit in this case?

The rapid pace of London life and never-ending exciting activities will soon make you exhausted and you would like to take a short break before exploring new marvels of London city. Hyde Park is the best place to unwind, being away from city hustle and bustle. It is one of the eight Royal parks of London and one of the greatest parks in the world in the area of 142 hectares. Hyde park offers wide choice of activities for you to –swimming, horse riding, cycling, boating, tennis, and in winter you can also enjoy ice skating.

Hyde park is a small piece of paradise, where tranquility, about 4000 trees and Serpentine Lake create an ideal atmosphere for relaxing and forgetting about real life. Besides, the park is popular because of its fascinating landmarks such as Serpentine Lake, Rotten Row, Diana Memorial Fountain and the most famous of all -Speaker’s corner.

Rotten Row is a 6,4 kilometers long path created by William III in the 17th century. He found that the road from Kensington to Westminster is very dark and dangerous so he ordered to light it by 300 oil lamps thus creating the first lit road in England.

this is what the British wanted, to rule Nigeria by proxy, they have gotten it, almost all our cases are now decided in Britain under this govt. and by the way which independent minded country still extradite its citizens to foreign powers for persecution in this age. imagine the American or British govt sending its citizens to Nigeria for trial.

it's high time we put our judiciary in order and cancel some of this nation nosensene agreement we have with other countries.

You don't even know what her offense and you're here already condemning her. Are you not ashamed of yourself? You just want her jailed for doing what exactly? Where's your sense of justice fairness and equity?

You are right to talk about subsidy protest arising from the removal of subsidy (so an open market can determine the price of oil products). However, when you make comparison, please state all the facts. "A little mathematics, at N575 million daily, that would equate to about N210billion annually (with Brent selling at $48). Not too long ago in 2011, Nigeria paid N2.13Trillion for the same subsidy and after all the protests and exposes, Nigeria paid approximately N1trillion per annum (with Brent sellint at $110!) for the subsequent years."
You are convenient selective in your use of data for the purpose of your argument.
In 201, the then opposition's claim was that subsidy was a fraud(probably still is). Question is,
1. Is the fraud still going on?
2. Despite falling oil price, do we still need to pay subsidy?

hmmmm..guy...no matter how much buhari fights corruption we would remain static if states are not allowed to explore their resources and internally generate revenues and jobs to tackle poverty...no matter how much the northerners and partly the south westerners run away from the truth true federalism is the way out..we all need to stop being parasites and look within us that each zone can be great provided we become sensible and think development...for how long do you think the whole agbaya called nigeria can continue to feed on the oil in the Niger delta whilst we have other avenues to become rich and Prosperous as a nation.... buhari should do it...he has if not less than 8 years to accomplish it..If buhari claims to be a progressive and not a bigot let him ensure resource control/true federalism...until then we would be stagnant as a nation...

Sylver247:
Fellow Nairalanders, I am the op of the thread on "How have you been surviving without a job?"
I have a friend who works with Shell, hes actually a childhood friend we grew up together. We have been apart for long cos he works in Warri while I reside in Lagos.
Recently we hooked up again via Facebook and we got talking on phone about life and all. Told him my jobless situation and he got very concerned about my plight. He promised to do something about it cos I was very open with him, didn't hide or form. He requested for my CV which I quickly edited, refined and wired to his email. He said he would submit it to some senior people in Shell.

About a month later he called me and told me something has come up. That there is 6 a year contract job that will be coming up in October and that I need to acquire a particular training (HUET) without which I can't work in the upstream. He said its normally free but the man in charge of recruiting people said since am just a referral, I have to pay for the training. He said the training is 65k which I confirmed and its true.

Now he promised to pay part of the training fee (40k) for me and said I should take care of the remainder.
I trust this guy (he is my very good friend from same community) but you know people can change suddenly.

I just need advice from people who know about this kind of stuff, if its possible or not. Its small money (25k) but I wouldn't want to be scammed off the little money am surviving with as am currently managing myself. I don't even have the money now but I can run round and get it.
He told me they are waiting for Buhari to announce his cabinet before the project starts and that he will call me.

Please advice me should I give it a shot?

melzabull:
pls ask mad cow

I do not necessary mean a PDP person, but a less egoistic and arrogant person, not amaechi and no, he isn't chasing amaechi. Why dong amaevhi go and clear his name like saraki is trying to do ?

melzabull:
hahaha...Naive of you

Of course Wike has his prefered candidate just like amaechi had his preferred candidate for governor.

...and yes it will hamper it, cos he needs a minister that will work in tandem with the state government and not a minister that will want to sabotage his government in order to hive it a bad name.

c'mon this is common sense

BTW, I thought you APC nland warriors said amachi accepting to serve as a minister will be an insult to his person, cos a ministerial post will belittle his status...and i ask, why does amashi have to be a minister?lwkmd


madcow1, come and answer your qeurry kikikikiki

IzonOwei:
can the fools up there who rule us agree to economic and social policies that can alleviate poverty...nigeria will forever remain poor until we either break up into constituents and go our seperate ways or we espouse and uphold meaningful policies that can drive the nation forward... ...you can have ALL the confidence in buhari to manage help from america like a toddler since he is incorruptible(perfect angel from heaven) but that doesn't stop nigeria from retrogressing if it continues to stick to the status quo...

Bevista:
Imaima, don't fall for that guy. He has no point.

The average consumption of PMS in Nigeria is estimated at 40 litres/day. What the papers do is to take subsidy Per Litre of PMS and multiply with this 40 million figure to arrive at the ESTIMATED subsidy payment.

For instance, the paper reports that subsidy Per Litre in June was N51.61 while total daily subsidy was estimated as N2.06b. If you observe, N2.06b = 51.61 X 40m.

Similarly, the paper also reports that subsidy Per Litre as at Sunday is N14.39 while total daily subsidy is estimated as 575m. If you also observe, N575 = 14.39 X 40m. So, in both cases, the same estimated consumption of 40million litres/day is used.

If, indeed, our daily consumption has gone down below 40m due to improved power supply, then the ACTUAL subsidy payment per day will even be less than the estimated N575m.

Lusola15:
I also believe dt d demand for PMS as dropped cos of increase in power generation. This cud account for some part of 71% subsidy drop

Just saying ooo

Who are you? whoever you are, YOU ARE PRICELESS, a rare gem.
You have given a very simple answer to a mountainous problem, i hope someone is listening.

melzabull:
Typical! When Ameachi refused to show up and handover to Wike, did you ask why he was desperate to stop wike being a governor? Karma is a bicth!

amaechi stole rivers dry, he should go and face the corrupt charges against him as governor.

Rivers state deserve a better person

Vikkie14:
In summary: The Reduction in Subsidy payment is due to the Fall in Oil Price. Anything apart from this is Falsehood and lie

GudluckIBB:
From a high of N51.61 per litre on June 11, 2015, subsidy on every litre of Premium Motor Spirit consumed in the country has dropped to N14.39, data obtained from the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency on Sunday showed.

The dip in the subsidy payable by the Federal Government is partly due to the sustained decline in global crude oil prices, which have continued to trade below the $50 per barrel mark in recent weeks.

The global benchmark Brent crude, which fell below $50 per barrel in January, rebounded to $65 in June, pushing up the subsidy on petrol. However, Brent traded around $48 per barrel on Sunday.

Subsidy refers to the money paid, usually by the government, to keep prices below what they will otherwise be in a free market system.

The PPPRA, in its latest pricing template released on Friday, October 2, 2015, stated that the landing cost and Expected Open Market Price (total cost) of petrol were N85.90 and N101.39 per litre, respectively.

This is against a regulated retail price of N87 per litre. The difference between the EOMP and the retail price is, therefore, N14.39.

According to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, the country consumes about 40 million litres of petrol daily.

By multiplying the volume of petrol consumed across the country on a daily basis with the current amount spent on subsidising the product, it means that the government spends about N575.6m on subsidy, down from N2.06bn in June 11.

Nigeria, Africa’s top oil producer, relies on importation for most of its fuel needs as the country’s refineries are in a poor state.

The landing cost is the cost of the product plus freight rate at N75.03; trader’s margin, N1.47; lightering expenses, N4.19; Nigerian Ports Authority fees, N0.77; financing cost, N1.68; jetty depot throughput charge, N0.8; and storage charge, N3.

The addition of the distribution margins to the landing cost gives the EOMP (total cost). The distribution margins comprise retailers, transporters and dealers’ profits as well as bridging fund, marine transport average and admin charges.

Retailers get N4.6; transporters, N2.99; dealers, N1.75; bridging cost is N5.85; marine transport average, N0.15; and the admin charge, N0.15. The sub-total margin stands at N15.49.

When added to the landing cost of N85.90, the EOMP of N101.39 per litre is arrived at.

The Federal Government had on January 18, 2015 announced the reduction in the pump price of petrol from N97 to N87 per litre, attributing this to the decline in global crude oil prices.
