Nnpc is the sole buyer of Dangote products and marketers will have to buy from nnpc. Its the end of marketers hold on our economy

is it not the time for dangote to use it's monopoly and crush nnpc out of the downstream business,why can't they partner with interested filling station owners were they will be supplying fuel to their partners and it will be sold for #500-600/ ltr,let us see who will buy from nnpc,they are too big to beg,let them flex their capitalistic might let us see who will beg,some companies may even choose to sell with no profit for a couple of months to show the big marketers something

Don't sell your dollars o....
If you can, buy more and store away from Nigerian banks.

The single most consumer of forex is the importation of hydrocarbons and its allies,fertilizer,polythene and PVC ,this materials gulp almost 40-50% of forex needed for imports if the government is sincere to play it's own role but from what I am seeing NNPC and local refineries playing open monkey it will be a big IF

betabread:
I will like to ask what do you think is the cause of flower abhortion.

We planted pepper this year by february, everything went well till flowering then flower abortion set in, spacing used was 60×45 and 60×60

At flowering was when i believed the saying that the single most important thing in farming is the spraying equipment, even with massive pruning , we cant get in between rows as i speak to u

The pepper now is riddled with disease as i speak, in my locality pepper got as high as 170k but we never had any for sale cos of abortion

that is what I said earlier about goggle farm and their spacing,if you cannot give hot pepper a minimum of 4ft square spacing or length of shovel forget it,the problem that will come from only that poor spacing will be in series, first hot pepper exhibit a form of crown shyness when branches aviod touching each other or grow away from each other,the moment they have no option but to touch and tangle flower abortion starts naturally due to stress,the simple movement of workers in the farm wading through entangled crops will drop off most flower due to mechanical action,keep on applying agrovert or best harvest fruit and flower booster weekly and hope for the best,even that massive pruning maybe counter productive, because you are cutting off the branches that will bear fruit and naturally the crop will refocus it's energy to growing new branches instead of flowering and fruiting,leave it like that,apply manure and with time they will adjust and adapt,also the disease is helped so much by poor spacing,the leafs retain moisture for much longer due to poor ventilation and inadequate sunlight penetration giving bacteria and fungal spores the chance to grow and thrive,also your workers wading through the thick brush will help in spreading the disease rapidly

Get able bodied men to seize him, bind him totally, then take him to either of the two places below:


1 - Rehabilitation And Development Association - Enugu

No. 2, Onwe Close, Garriki, Enugu. Enugu.Enugu.

Management and rehabilitation of drug addicts....

2 - Prisoners Rehabilitation & Welfare Action (prawa) - Enugu

Eastern Regional Office,104, Chime Ave. P.O.Box 256, Box 15501,UNEC, New Haven. Enugu.Enugu.

will they keep him there indefinitely?the day you release him he will simply go back to drugs,if the person in question does not want to help himself sincerely there is nothing anybody can do,the power to change lies in his hands

Melagros:
COMRADES are speechless

not yet,now our future crude oil has been mortgaged for many years and the money long consumed,also billions of dollars in debt,what will happen if this suppliers finally refuse to give us fuel and diesel?I can't even think what can be the result it is too nightmarish to imagine

Nukilia:
It's difficult to differentiate a police from a kidnapper in Nigeria. Same Modus operandi

this people are teribbly lucky to be alive,it is common for them to be shot and the whole money taken,they are lucky

vanbonattel:
There are much more than 98 checkpoints there. They should count well.

Or should I count the ones inside one state for us?

Anambra 15 checkpoints? Only Onitsha has more than 25 that I can count.

The report is inaccurate.

Start from your entry into Onitsha from old River Niger bridge.

1. Head bridge entrance police
2. Head bridge entrance army
3. Head bridge under bridge police
4. Upper iweka under flyover police
5. Iweka Road (Izuchukwu Park front) police
6. Owerri Road police
7. Owerri Road army
8. Awka Road to main market police
9. New tarzan Park police
10. Mgbuka Obosi Junction police
11. Electrical market Junction police
12. Owerri Road express new flyover police (under flyover) police
13. Obosi Road entrance from New flyover police
14. Between ochanja and main market police
15. Oba Road army

only onitsha will have more than 50,maybe they counted during the afternoon let them come and count in the evening

press9jatv:
I hope they captured the turji bandit and his clueless terrorists alive

how can they capture him when they have already announced their plans on national television and newspapers,is this not a military operations that is supposed to be top secret?if you are a bandit will not long be in Niger or mali laughing at the fools or are they making this announcement for our benefit so it will seem if they are working very hard?all things been equal but kudos to the brave foot soilders that have to go into energy territory in flimsy pickups ,zero intelligence and no forward long range operation for infantry support,they are the real heros despite the monument incompetence and ineptitude of their leadership

nikky5:
Recently, I have heard a few of our fathers of faith in Nigeria preach that tithe defaulters will not make it to heaven when they die.

I will need further clarification on this because I have stopped paying my tithes for about three years now. I also believe in tithing as an old testament law. Well, I may be wrong in some ways. Can anyone throw more light on this please. I am a born again Christian.

Thanks.

Hell is just the imagination from a fertile humanind,there is nothing like hell or heaven,when we die and lose conspicuous ability we go back to the stage we are before we are born,anybody that wants to tell us how heaven and earth looks like,should first tell us what he knew when he or she is 2 years old

illicit:
They are not wise...

we don't really care in the SE and we are not frustrated as the Op claims,it is normal policy,

nairalanda1:
Witnessing the effect of two things

1. Not running an actively exporting economy that exports manufactured gooods and services...instead being so fixated on oil, that we have a very weak economy.

All NIgerian leaders (yes including GEJ, Buhari and tinubu...take that!) have been bad leaders largely because the economic policy is based essentially on the price of whatever resource we sell. This leaves us prone to debt and inflation and a very very weak naira...with the result that we have high prices of meters.

Lack of a decent industrial sector means even local industries have to import spares from outside the country. Here we are.


2. Meter workers too have to eat. Many meters are made here, and the workers too are subject to the issues in the economy. As a result....prices go up so that the meter workers who make your meters have to eat.

It would be silly really to sell meters for N20000 and expect people to make a living from the losses resulting therein


3. Frankly speaking...expecting government to subsidise everything on a budget of just 18 billion dollars....yes, you heard me right....is basically asking for more and more debt.

I mean, many countries have far far more cash than we do, but don't do subsides for everything...or try to do subsides for everything...like we do. They would be broke in no time

Even this meter thing...it is obvious that if government tried to subsidise it down to N20000 ......it would make them go broke.





That is why any decent government for Nigeria would not do what this APC government is doing...they would embark on a programme that would lead us to....manufactured goods and services, and a decent tax to gdp ratio.

in summary,from consumption to production,any Nigerian government that refuse to make this statement their vision and war cry will fail

anonimi:
25 years ago when he was not senile, what did he offer smart Lagosians except to squeeze them for IGR while blaming Obasanjo for his own failure to deliver governance outcomes that matches the revenue at his disposal?

he did all these things when he was still physically and mentally active

jesusjnr2020:
I've always said "the fear of death is the beginning of wisdom for most atheists".

This is yet another proof of that.

What i find really hard to understand though is why they have to wait til that critical moment before realizing themselves, because not many get the chance to make amends.

This is one of the few lucky atheists that did.

Thank God he realized himself and repented before it was too late.

I hope other atheists get to learn something from his story.

God bless.

it is only our subconscious makes us to fear death,the awareness of our life and surroundings,but truly life and death is the different sides of the same coin,infact death needed not to be feared because we have been dead and in a state of non existence for billions of years until we are born,the few odd years we will spent alive is nothing compared to the billions of years of non existence that waits us after death,it is our subconscious and fear of the unknown has made mankind weave all types of religions,myths and legends around death

iykbethany:
That's why we are all here brother man, to learn. This is a pilot project so mistake is inevitable but they will be corrected when we go into mass production.

I recently met someone who relocated from Europe a few years ago to start farming. He said he has made over 80million Naira from pepper and tomatoes this year. The normal pepper, so he used open fields. Its more economical instead of spending millions on greenhouses. He sees greenhouse and exotic pepper farming as waste of time and money. His pepper farm in river state has generators and 7 boreholes. Massive farm.

I'm currently studying his template.

there is a farm in imo state we supervised,they planted super habanero and red scorpion open field in batches on one hectare,last time I was there they harvested 30 bags from 4 plots of land by #60k a bag then,total #1.8m in one week from 4 plots,my brother I don't doubt this your story
The key in open field pepper farming is to start early( nursery Nov/Dec) before the constant rains of August will come and bring bacterial and fungal disease headache you have already cashed out big time,if you have source of water to irrigate

yes of course,that is even the best time for it

Henry2405:
In my opinion, the house belongs to the land owner unless the guy can uproot his house from the land. Alternatively, they can break it down, or she can pay off the house cost.
Your opinion

I have not seen a house documents,house invoice or receipt,the documents used to sell or prove ownership of house is the land agreement documents,so he who has the land is the owner of the house,how can you even prove in court that it is you that built the house,they will just slam a no trespass order on that guy,the house is lost,he can never claim the house again

SAMBARRY:
The seed of violence ,poverty,illiteracy this politicians are sowing, they'll reap it in due time.

I don't think this particular problem is mostly the politicians fault,in the SE we have the worst politicians but still the parents send their children to school,in my community in imo state it is almost impossible to see a child not going to school no matter how poor the parents are,the northern parents and ideology will take the blame for the high illiteracy and out of school children,and that is the major cause of the high crime wave in that area

Sonnobax15:

UK no be easy place to stay cha......But it's far better than the kind of life we are living down here.

sincerely speaking if you have a good business steup that is pumping you money in Nigeria you will not even remember to go abroad unless for holidays, Nigeria gives you stupendous freedom to do whatever you like if you are wealthy,it is poor people that japa,how many wealthy people in Nigeria do you know that lives permanently in abroad?they go and come back because only in Nigeria can they have the real freedom they want

bamsie:
try that is Nigeria

our population will be 500 million in ten years

Kingsmeal:
Nawa oo

na statistics we go chop?

DispatcherLagos:

Can I at least laugh at this cock and bull story?

laugh if you can but I give the government to crash the price of fuel

loveth360:
They should not bring it anywhere close to south south or south East.

I am predicting only the Yorubas will protest this time,the north will not follow them again

RealityKings:
Let's put the situation in perspective. Let's assume you were the one kicked out by your friend, would she take you in? If she took you in, would you contribute to the house ?

It's good to help others most especially when you are lovers but keep in mind not to let anyone USE you and move on to another dude. She's actually not interested in you(i knowyou sense this already sha). Don't assume the "father role".
Be hard hearted. Make it expressly clear you want her to contribute to the home expenses

I don't think for her to contribute is a good idea now what the op wants is for her to leave without causing uneseccary aggro,what he will do is to sit her down after a good vigorous sex,they are always relaxed after that and easy to manipulate,talk to her about it is time to get her own house,but you will contribute a little to help her,that will soften the blow,talk to her kindly and gently so she will see reason

Throwback:
It is also coming from those who had vowed thaf rather than a Yoruba candidate win the Presidency in 2023, they would rather support the North to continue ruling.

What they cannot have, they want to destroy.

I sincerely wonder how many years old some of the posters on this forum are,because from some comments you might be mistaken to think they are made by elementary school pupils,did you see any igboman protest hunger?did you see any igboman or woman wave the Russian flag?is it not the your same brothers and Northern bedfellows that are chanting zanga zanga, burning Nigeria flag and begging Russia to take over Nigeria?why then will you rope us in your conspiracy theories while we are sitting at home and watching your hunger protest with bemused expressions on our faces because it is just one year and 4 months into a potential 8 years tenure and you are complaining

kettykings:
Will extradition of Ekpa lead to the end of ipob or will it lead to the emergence of a madder leader that will be more vocal than Nnamdi kanu and more brutal than Ekpa. Only time will tell.

These are descendants of men and women who chose to drown themselves in the sea than end up becoming slaves in a foreign country.

the government has refused to learn from their mistake,a vacuum cannot be left in the top hierarchy of a separatist movement,they removed MNK who is just vocal and a critique of the government,he was replaced by Simon ekpa who is an aggressor and supporter of armed confrontation,if they remove the current leader now who do they think will replace him?it will be a more warlike person that will be worse than the other two,let them address the root of the problem not arresting the leaders it serves no putpose

DispatcherLagos:

Putin putting the world into nuclear war gradually

the Russia of now is very different from the USSR(cccp) of the old,when they cannot defeat common Ukraine after years of face to face combat will them be taken seriously again,they supposed to have crushed Ukraine in weeks if it is the old Soviet union

HellVictorinho8:
I have reasons 2 be pessimistic.


The higher the cost of living,the lesser the money i get.


It is not as i wish.

It is what i have seen.


I think i'm barely alive.


So i should not really celebrate this kind of existence no matter how long it lasts.


I dont know how i'm gonna survive from now till whenever as the cost of living is unspeakably beyond whatever money i have 2 be expecting.


There is nothing like getting a better job CUZ NOBODY HAS ANY REASON 2 PROVIDE WHAT MAKES IT BETTER.

Nobody anywhere has anything like that 4 me.

it seems i was born 2 lack the material necessities i find so hard 2 afford/get.



What is more likely is 4 me 2 get scorned,insulted and despised by those who are too rich 2 understand.



Well, i dont know who might be reading this

so i ask,

What about you?


How long do you think you're gonna live or last on earth?

the question is not for you or me to answer

muhammadmuqtada:
Against all odds We must muster courage and political will for Those 3 moribund refineries+1 new to work and in full capacity.The future of this Nation economy is dependent on them.

who will muster?are you the minister of petroleum?or maybe the refineries director,it seems you are still living in an utopian world if you think Nigeria could have functional refineries and a new one,you don't even know the depths of corruption in this country,those refineries are been sabotaged by the same people that owe and charged to repair it,the NNPC,now tell me how it will work,this people are making so much money from importation of this things that they see local production as a threat,dangote is another example

Balistic4:
Show me a thoughtless leader and I will show you country in disarray. Anytime Obi finishes his speech, news outlets must run a fact check.

When tinubu shouted "subsidy is gone!!!" The first time a microphone was handed to him as the president, I knew the suffering will be long. Dude didn't even check the current situation of things, he didn't consult any stake holder, didn't do any projection, just waaaaaa!

The good and bad news is that we are all here to feel the heat together. If tinubu didn't win, many unfortunate souls will be shouting that nigeria has missed a lifetime opportunity.

I think it is good that we are here now, so that everyone will understand that election has consequences, come on, it is a decision process, and you are where you are today due to decision you made yesterday.

100% agreement on your views and the writeup of Dr Reuben abati

Macphenson:
Really, very very interesting. From this report one can confidently and logically conclude that South East is safer then South West.

and believe me there are far more unreported cases of missing people in that region due to the ritual menace
