DeLaRue:


On this particular deal, it is difficult to see what NNPCL has done wrong.

They have negotiated to get the best price they can get from Dangote, and from the pricing information they published this morning, NNPC are not really profiting much from this deal.

If those greedy independent marketers have been allowed to buy directly from Dangote, they would have used their usual magomago to make sure we don't know how much they bought from Dangote, and they will sell for N1300 or N1400.

These same independent marketers that some of you people are now supporting are the same people that have jacked up the price of petrol to as much as N1100 or more over the past 3 months, even when NNPCL was selling at around N600.

They are also the ones who hide petrol in their filling stations to create artificial scarcity so they can extort vehicle owners with outrageous prices.

Any time they don't get their way, they threaten to go on strike.

NNPCL is not good, but I 100% prefer it to be in charge than independent marketers.

To back up.my point, has there ever been a time when NNPCL filling stations sell petrol at a price higher than independent filling stations. Never. NNPCL stations are always cheaper.

I hope NNPCL will continue to buy more and more filling stations so they are present in every corner of the country.

Shehu is right...Low voter turnout makes it easy for Politicians to manipulate things, hence, should be discouraged anyhow






This Shehu tho, he has always been a darling of the Obidient group, especially during that Senators monthly allowance expose

Now that he's voiced out an independent opinion that wouldnt sit well with them, I expect them to be intolerable to this and that they atttack him cause they dont understand what "Opinion" means

I think the posters above are just jealous.

Not only do they wish they have the access israel has, but they also want the perks too.


These guys are probably the types that praise sing politicians, kiss rich relatives arses, suck up to bosses in the office but still backbite others when they recieve favours.

Israels' life is one he chose, and he loves it, you idle village people should get a life.

Basically, we don't have enough universities for those who want a uni education. Which is why JAMB brought in UTME...it was their subtle way of telling NIgerians that 1) not everyone is cut out for university education 2) there aren't enough spaces anyway in university 3) why not try a polytechnic or college of education ? It is also why we have had private universites for the past two decades.


Also, the only way to get a job in NIgeria that pays well....have a university degree. Hence the issue.

Remember what the word said in proverbs 13:17, a wicked messager falleth into mischief but a faithful ambassador is health.( KJV).
Who is a wicked messenger? The critics who find pleasure in criticised his servants, I am not saying is good to commercialised those stuff but leave judgement to God alone, whether these are fake or genuine men but they are all proclaiming the gospel so let them be.
those buying those stuffs are not complaining, let only Judge them, as for me oo I can't never said a word against any man of God let their conscious condemn or justify them

jesusjnr2020:
Therefore all those who claim to have received the power to heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons, etc., but were still selling it and not giving it freely as Jesus commanded His disciples to do were all fake and false prophets.

That's why they're not obeying Jesus' commandment, because true disciples of Jesus keep His commandments not to sell but to freely give.

God bless.

Let me break this down what the minister is saying here.

1. Nigeria is not rich enough to sponsor its own power requirement

2. Investors are needed but they won't come because electricity tariff are too cheap hence they won't make money.

3. Tariff was increased ×3 for some users who enjoy 20hrs of light per day. With more money coming to DISCOS investors are begining to show interest.

4. That does not mean FG is sitting down waiting for investors. Power generating plants are still being built

The wife self is another matter, if you're so sure the baby belong to your husband, why not go ahead to do DNA and allow the innocent guy to rest in peace from all the drama? It's seems that guy Mohbad was alone and he was never mourn by those that ought to love him and mourn him. May his soul rest in peace

It is better the president alone uses them to witch hunt than for governors to do same.it will be too much for the citizenry to take.eveb the governors have some form of control over the police esp in elections but once they fail in securing their states,they blame it on lack of state policing...

In any case,what we need is community policing or the type of state police that exists in America where each town,settlement or city operates it's own police answerable to the town council led by a mayor and then the state have its own police and the federal have FBI.i think the east has something similar where each town esp anambra has its vigilante service that is answerable to each town union led by the king and the PG.the governor will have little or no control over them except in anambra vigilante service or bakassi boys.i think Nigeria should adopt that method

Wainey:
Wow, that baby is so beautiful.
I was born in a generation where if u put on short skirt u are a prostitute, women dont wear trousers and bumshot is not even something to wear, today people don't even wear bumshot again, they wear semi pant and cover it with cloth and walk around street.

So those of you insulting the mother, relax cos that nose ring will soon be a trend and ur wife may probably wear it. Few years ago, only ashawo put on nose rings, ankle chains and a dress that shows nipple, but now almost everyone going braless, people even enter churches with bumshot.

Now even guys are putting on earrings, fashion is dynamic.
Btw, the money has no right to Pierce the baby's nose

YesDaddyTill203:


The Sw and the North are dragging us back? Wow.

First thing first - The most tribalistic and religious fanatical tribe in Nigeria today is the IGBOS. No one is even close.

The Igbos see tribe and religion in everything. Think of anything and the Igbo is already seeing it from the prism of tribe and religion.
Yes, the North can react violently to religious issues but they do not look at every single issue from the perspectives of tribe and religion.

It's comical if not sad that the same people who voted for a candidate simply because he's Igbo and a Christian are the same people accusing others of exactly what they did. It's sad but laughable at the same time.

All my life in the US, I have had about 4 Igbo friends. From my experiences with them, it's so easy to see that everything to them has some element of tribal consideration. I can't even think of anything where they don't bring tribe into the equation. I asked one of them one day and his excuse was that the war is the reason why the Igbos are always thinking along tribal lines. (I didn't buy that excuse because tribal obsession is the reason why they went to war in the first place)

I had an experience that stuck with me till today. About 20 years ago I had an SUV that I had brought to Nigeria. The vehicle engine knocked after a couple of years and I was introduced to a guy (a young Igbo man) who was dealing in parts for the vehicle. He became my go-to guy for any parts for the vehicle because at that time Range was not as common as it is now. The parts were hard to come by.
The day I bought something from a Yoruba man for the Vehicle, the guy told me that I did that just because I wanted the Yoruba man to get a piece of the business and that I could have allowed him to supply everything. This was a guy who sold me 98 percent of all that I needed for the vehicle, I was just stunned. That moment stuck with me till today.
I have never met such a group of people in my life who are incapable of seeing issues from an objective perspective without bringing tribal and religious cacophony into it.
It's really sad and pathetic.
The Yorubas are the most accommodating of other tribes and all religions, The Yorubas are the most progressive. They are so progressive to a fault. The vast majority of Yorubas will not even think of your tribe in their dealings with you unless you bring it up.

YesDaddyTill203:
I have listened to Faye and Sowore speaking, there is no comparison.
Faye is articulate, intelligent and doesn't make unintelligent and unrealistic promises like Sowore.
Also, let's not forget that circumstances lead to Faye's election. The out going president made it easier for the opposition to win by making some very oppressive and damaging moves such as locking up opposition figures, trying to run for a 3rd term and by trying to postpone the elections.
Those moves made it easier for Faye to win.
Also, Sanko was supposed to run but was barred by the govt hence he chose Faye to run in his place.
Faye is a President of circumstance.

epainos:


I am not so interested in answering you again, cos naturally, I am not attracted to "show off". And when one doesn't understand and subject and keeps trying hard to get his side out and not listen, that person can't be taught anything.

Just some recommendations for you:

1. Stop that mentality of "white, white white". We use so many Israeli innovative equipment in our projects, but it doesn't mean that the right man should be one or a white man. I am going to repeat it...and take to correction...get someone who understands the tropical weather, who knows about tropical seeds and dealing with diseases, pesticides, and other issues. Listen...that person must have worked extensively in Africa. Else, you will lose your money. That expert or you can always contact equipment producers when you have issues. And can be done over the Internet, or in the worst case....fly him down to fix the problem, and he leaves. Period.

There are extremely brilliant Nigerians who are valued even outside the country but are willing to return if Naija gets better. So, stop this "white, white, white" mentality. I would rather get a good guy from Thailand or Malaysia if I desperately need one, rather than getting the so-called "white, white, white", you are always mentioning. It is why I said that you are still a learner.

All that you have mentioned, and you are repeating....private farmland, database, and bla bla bla bla. Listen carefully, many suggestions have been passed to the government. Nigerians have the brains to do everything, but the only disturbing factor is corruption. Period. So, cry till 2090, if Naija does not remove corruption, sorry. I know what I wanted to discuss with you, but your "gra gra" just keeps me irritated, and makes me not want to go further with you. A humble heart and a teachable personality will learn so much. Stay humble even in your posts.

I am thriving despite these challenges, and my strategy is: to operate excellently in challenging situations. I don't have Dangot's kind of backing. If not for corruption, Dangot would not be like that. You will know there is a gang of people who just use our money anyhow. If you want to know them, go check the burial of Wigwe, the former Access Bank CEO. Put Dangote in a fair play with everyone, and let's see after just 1 year, he will still be number 1. I am using Dangote here cos you kept referring to him. Corruption is the only issue we need to deal with first.

We are telling you from experience...Nigeria needs:
1. Power to attract producers
2. Kill Corruption
3. Empower of women (there is a reason for this)

Do these three things above, and you will see excellent policies around. I am not new to policy formulation and administration. NiN is enough for the so-called database you are talking about. But see how much has been looted with it. It started during Obasanjo's time. OBJ kicked that crazy man that time. I don't want to mention his name. Then, the root continues. But thank God we have it. Go check how Nigeriens are moving to Nigeria anyhow. To battle that region will take wisdom. Northerners don't want it addressed cos they use them during elections. See, if I was the president, I would just register as many as I could that can pinpoint where they are from. Then, stop it. Massive deportation to Niger, Chad, Benin Republic, and Cameroon will start. When they see that, no one will tell them to not register. And then, close it. Make it extremely hard to get it again. You don't have it, you must produce your passport of Ecowas from your real country to enter Nigeria. Simple.

Can you easily do this in the North? Nope. They will never accept it. They will start wahala. But it has to be done.

You cannot solve the whole problem of Nigeria which is a foundational issue. The amalgamation of Lord Luggard is a mistake. So, we either separate or we come together to fix these issues.

So, while these things are there, what can an individual do to still make way? And these are things I am doing. Guy man, these farmland estate and Agro brokerage issues are two points I like which I have been trying to implement also. It is not as easy as you are saying it. So, if you are interested in getting some of these things done, find a way to still operate amid the Nigerian factors.

For Agro...yes, I can use Israeli technology to use less land. That's what they solved. If you know how much just 1 acre can generate...you will be shocked. If you know your coins. Buy that 1 plot in the city, fence around, and do your thing. You have solved security. Use technology and achieve a yield of 10 acres or more on that 1 acre.

The challenge right now is finding honest Nigerians to work with. No producer can do anything about it, other than the ones who are already rolling with financial looters. They can arrest anyhow. They intimidate their workers and nothing happens to them. Period. But the majority of individuals can do nothing because the Police will even milk you. How do you produce without workers? How do you produce when they keep stealing from your farm?

These issues are deep. You aren't into it, so just stop making noise. These issues are extremely deeper than all your shouts.

epainos:

You ran away bah? Lol. All the questions I asked, you jacked out. Next time study the person you are dealing with before rushing to say what you don't know.

Dangote has African specialists working for him. In fact, he was saved by a Kenyan during his tomato crisis. Israeli ya ya ya. You better look for someone good with the tropical weather. Let me educate you...The main Israeli vegetable seed and equipment company in Nigeria is Hazera with their specialists here at one time. Specialists from France outperform them here. Why? They created African farms managed by Africans. So ..that man from that desert understands your climate better. Dey play. You didn't even mention Thailand....Israel. lol.

You are talking to a sustainability career person. You wan teach me agro-businesses. I was just smiling while reading your last message. I thought you wanted you discuss, but I see that you want show off. Show off with me? You will only wound yourself.

You can't touch or answer anything I asked you. Ya ya ya ya
...Kenyans are cheap. Ya ya ya ya. They are good. Do you know how many projects I have been involved in with Kenyans.

You know zero about agriculture. Just don't go there.

He said Dangote employed Israeli. If I wooz you. nope....na professors from Iceland he brought to his farm.

He even brought in beer talk to climatic issues. I give up.

Goodbye.

epainos:

OK. We have both agreed on electricity and insecurity.

Let's try to see if ideas can flow to address these Agro related issues you have raised.

epainos:

The almighty US is selling crude oil to Dangote, so in the absence of facilities to produce chocolate, still export cocoa. We are just getting back.

And remember...you are back to the real issue on this thread. Electricity. Without it...forget chocolate....na cocoa. Dangote is surviving cos of unfair play. If those companies that have closed up were given the same treatment, they would still be around. To run a refinery, electricity is more situation. To produce crude oil..same thing.

I only gave more examples...go right, left, front and back...the issue is still electricity.

But for someone coming back, focusing initially on agriculture is ok. Add to the forex the nation is making via agric. Chocolate won't happen now until we fix electricity....so, let's focus on cocoa to survive and move forward.


This is a false info. There are so much private farmland. Almost all ex-generals have huge farmlands. Na money. If you get am, you go buy. Shikena. Go through the right channel. Not much red tape oga. I know about it very well.

If builders are getting land for real estate, why can't you get a farm? No be private coys dey build more these days?


For sure this is a bad one, but it goes to show that only the northerners are into agric. Kidnapping dey, but can be addressed fast if govt is serious. But really, I can't take the risk also.


Na shell and total dey sell for NNPC? LOL.

You don't need this sir for agro, but if available...good. Going through government departments just like how USDA assists its citizens too is not bad. We have that...and anyone can use the channel. Trust me...when production is massive, brokers will rise from the grave naturally. Which product dem wan market now?

Even small farmers do small-scale exporting. They can have snail pens and catfish ponds at home...no insecurity issues. After production, they roast and dry. Logistics coys don plenty here to move their products abroad. They only find the market or at times, govt agencies assist them. Their only business is to produce. But guess what? People still don't do it cos of the high cost of production due to lack of power. Feed costs are high. High cost of production for fish. Lol. But look at snail production, you need less power..so na money spinner.

Instead of me to export, I will rather focus on perishable food products. On a plot of land, I can make 90 crates of tomatoes for just 90 days of field production after transplanting. At a wholesale price of N25k that's N2.25million. It's possible to fence around 20 plots na. That's 45 million sales. Of course, not easy cos of many other issues. But it is possible. Most farmers aren't that good at it and their yield is low....still they are cashing out big time.

Back to the main point...we need electricity. Power. Producers will return as soon as we fix it. They want to operate here. There is a big market here.

If you were an agro exporter would you want to go through a broker when you can enter the market yourself and kill it big? It's easier these days
