Abeg while all these our celebrities are celebrating with Man U and their new Tom Tom jersey, they should also try and use their status to remind people about Samson Siasia’s arbitration fundraiser.
If Erica can get over $15k within 5hrs of hers being setup by a non celeb, their celeb voices will do much more for a man that has spent a better part of his youth making his fatherland proud.
I love Manchester United, but I love my Super Eagles (with their heartbreaks & all) more. grin

JidennaJason:
Within 24hrs "Some" moronic citizens lead by one Ehizode Irefool raised a staggering sum of $15,000 for the On-Air porn star while Samson Siasia is still struggling with his own fund raising since January..... Isn't it ridiculous?


Now before you jump to my mention and say whatever bullshit you feel like saying to me, ask yourself this questions;


-Of what importance or relevance is the Big Brother Show to the common man?

-Why raising a hefty and mouthwatering funds for the wayward character exhibited by the morally bankrupt Erica in the Big Brother's house?

-Why do we keep encouraging immoralities and raising funds for porn stars?
Well I share your sentiments. But it has to do first of all with the level of exposure each fundraiser receives.

BBN and Erica has been a news item on most blogs and SM accounts young people follow from the onset.

Young people are consistently and constantly bombarded with news from the show, whereas Samson Siasia’s unfortunate predicament and the ensuing fundraising doesn’t receive nearly a tenth of the same exposure the former does.

The truth is it’s not the public that shapes opinions, it’s the media houses.

I hope this news also helps Samson Siasia as this is the first time I’m even hearing about a fundraiser for his arbitration.

MrOjay1:
No amount donated to Erica can take away the taint of being a disqualified candidate.

She had so much promise in the early days until she got entangled with Kiddwaya and succeeded in making herself an object of lustful stares and a symbol of sexual objectification.

Anytime she made headlines,it was always sex related.

It's not bad to have sex as a woman but the manner in which you go about it matters.

Khafi last year had more sex than Erica but yet she still maintains her respect and grace amongst her fans and viewing audience alike.

Why?

Because she exhibited more sides to her personality than just the sex she was having.She exhibited eloquence,brilliance,dedication,love and care for fellow housemates and that's why she's still adored till today.

Erica on the other hand just projected herself as an uncouth,irresponsible woman.

She never takes responsibilities for her misdemeanour.She must look for who to blame.If she doesn't blame Laycon,she'll blame her parents or the alcohol she drank.
Ten thousand likes won’t do enough justice to this your comment. Well done sir grin

Five years later ambition fulfilled without capacity to lead, without a single refinery built or even one repaired you’re selling this most insensitive act done at a time when Nigerians are most vulnerable as boldness? History will judge all of you that brought this wicked regime of suffering on Nigerians.

I commend Miyetti Allah for their peaceful overtures in Southern Kaduna. I guess it’s because of the media outcry their murderous escapades are generating in the global community, especially in the United States.
However peace without justice is just a lull in the midst of a storm.
If you really want peaceful coexistence, then bring out those that have massacred defenseless old women & children so they can be brought to justice.
But this is Nigeria, from the 1953 Kano riots of Northerners who were opposed to Nigeria’s independence till date, killer Northerners have always gotten away with large scale murder. The fact that they always get away with this barbaric acts will only cause a repeat in future.
If there must be peace, justice has to come first.

IamWonderful:
Osinbajo rectify the horrible mistake of ineffectual buffon Jonathan, the only thing Jonathan knew how to do is to press Diezani flat booobs, the lord and savior of the poverty capital of the south
For ur mind now, you’ve said something smart. Where in that write up did you see that a British judge made his judgement based on an article or comment by Osinbajo?
For your info, that deal was signed by the late President Musa Yar’Adua who was a personal friend of the owner of P&ID Michael Quinn. If you were not so much in a hurry to abuse your betters, you’d have researched further to know that the same Michael Quinn has scammed the Nigerian Airforce in 2001 in the same manner as he attempted this. So if anyone is a buffoon at all, it is Yar’Adua that still gave his friend an opportunity to scam you, knowing people like you would be quick to blame anyone else but the real culprits out of tribal hate.

kikero:
1. Developed countries don't have subsides for everyone. They have subsides for some people

2. Developed countries certainly don't subsidse power and petrol like we do

3. Again, we cannot be buying things at less than the cost we produce them. That's why we are seriously underdeveloped and why we don't have a strong private sector.
As per your nmbr 2;
Canada: New Brunswick, one of the federating regions, has an institutionalised framework for price regulation. This framework is enshrined in
the Petroleum Products Pricing Act of 2006 which vests the regulation of the prices on a Board. Section 3 (1) of the Act provides as follows:
The Board has authority
(a) to set, and shall set the maximum wholesale and retail prices that a wholesaler and a retailer may charge for petroleum products, and
(b) to set, and shall set the maximum margin between the wholesale price to the retailer and the retail price to the consumer of petroleum products.
Section 4 of the Act defines the elements of the maximum price as follows:
4(1) For each type of heating fuel and motor fuel, the maximum wholesale price shall be the sum of
(a) the benchmark price, as established or adjusted pursuant to sections 10 and 11,
(b) the maximum wholesale margin, and
(c) applicable taxation.
4(2) For each type of heating fuel and motor fuel, the maximum retail price shall be the sum of
(a) the benchmark price, as established or adjusted pursuant to sections 10 and 11,
(b) the total allowed margin, which is comprised of the maximum margin for a wholesaler and the maximum margin for a retailer, and
(c) applicable taxation.
4(3) Delivery costs do not form any part of any margin under this section.
4(4) Notwithstanding that a maximum margin is set for a wholesaler and a retailer, if the wholesaler and the retailer agree in writing, they may apportion the total allowed margin between them in such manner as they see fit.

As indicated above, the Board is vested with the power to determine and adjust the benchmark price for each product. While section 10 of the Act deals with the establishment of the benchmark price, section 11 deals with its adjustment.

This is an example from a province in Canada. I’ll not bore you with details from countries like India, Iran and South Africa but implore you to search it out for yourself, so you can see how we’re being shortchanged in Nigeria by a most incompetent administration who would have you believe that they’re doing us a favor with petroleum subsidies but won’t fix our refineries.

The crux of the matter is that these countries have a model for calculating domestic prices after subsidizing.
We on the other hand just peg price to appease the importers and their political backers not caring about the end users.
After all, the end user has no choice but to purchase or watch his business die! That’s the reason for the outcry.
That’s d reason why a Moghalu will never get my vote inspite of his CV, because patriotism is not supporting an insensitive government that would rather see hardworking Nigerian businesses die off than cutback on extravagant spendings and medical tourism for mundane ailments.
The country is hard enough already with no one speaking for the common man.
Politics › Re: Price Hike: Northern Coalition Threatens To Protest, Says Buhari’s Impunity Wont by olisaEze(m): 11:29am On Sep 05, 2020
kikero:
Yeah and that's why I don't back ppra setting prices.

The thing is, setting the price of petrol is why we don't have working refineries, and the problem started under abacha by the way.

When you set.prices of petrol, you drive away investment on new refineries since people aren't going to be spending money on building a refinery and selling petrol below the production cost ( and only getting the difference between the subsidised price and production costs). Unless your name is dangote and as such you have access to loans from banks who know that if worse comes to worse they can take over your cement business and recoup their loans.

Also , under our subsidy regime, because we set prices for petrol and pay subsides, it incentivised people to lie about how much petrol they import so that they can get more subsidy money, or import fuel at subsidised prices and sell in Ghana or Mali or Benin where there is no subsidy and where petrol costs above 200 naira. Because if they sold petrol at subsidised prices they would be broke in a minute ( that's why Buhari in 2017 made Nnpc the sole importer of fuel, forced them to sell below the price of importation to keep prices low as they are, and then paid them subsidy or underrecovery to cover NNPC losses . Of course it still makes NNpc more the locus of corruption )

That's why regardless of what you have said, the problem is we are still selling fuel below the cost of producing and importing it. If we ended price controls bu PPRA, and also ended subsidy payments and instead allowed the market to set the price, sure we would be paying 250 and above per liter of fuel. but

1. More people would get into the refineries business since there is a profit to be made in Nigeria, not from importing

2. NNPC would be incentivised to make our refineries better since they now have to work for their money

3..In several years,price of fuel comes down

4. We get more jobs

Same reasoning goes for power. And Moghalu is an economist who worked for CBN so he should know things
I beg to differ on a few things you have stated here.

In many countries of the world, the pricing of petroleum products is regulated in one form or the other. There are a number of reasons for this.

First, the petroleum industry globally is not a competitive one. Rather, the industry is oligopolistic with a few major companies dominating the industry.
Under such a market structure, some form of price regulation becomes necessary to protect consumers against oligopolistic and monopolistic exploitation.

A second reason why petroleum products prices are widely regulated has to do with the nature of the products themselves and the important role they play in the economy and the lives of citizens.
An unregulated price regime could lead to very high prices of the products, which the economy and, particularly, the poor may not be able to bear.

Speaking on Ghana, prior to the 2003 reforms, importation of crude and refining were exclusively handled by the government through the Ghana National Petroleum Company (GNPC). Prices of petroleum products were heavily subsidized. In 2003, due to the heavy indebtedness of GNPC and near insolvency of the Tema Oil Refinery and under pressure from the IMF, a new pricing mechanism was introduced. The new pricing scheme which has come to be known as the Price Adaptation Mechanism involves the calculation of the ex-refinery prices using world market crude oil prices with mark-ups for insurance, transportation, suppliers’ commission, refining costs and other charges. A host of taxes and levies make up the other charges, depending on the specific product involved. These include Cross-Subsidy levy, Unified Petroleum Price Fund (UPPF) levy, Road levy, Social Impact Mitigating Levy, Exploration Levy, Energy Fund Levy, Debt Recovery Levy and Excise Duty. The cross-product subsidy and UPPF levies are particularly interesting in that they seek to provide cross products and cross regional subsidies respectively.

From developed nations like Canada to India and South Africa, petroleum products are subsidized to mitigate a negative impact on their citizens. Nigeria is a case in point were the ruling class seeks to enrich itself at the expense of the average man.

As for Moghalu, I would recommend the book 'Straight & Crooked Thinking' by Robert Thouless for u to understand that having a title or an impressive cv won’t stop a man from having a alternative agenda when interfacing with the public.
Politics › Re: Price Hike: Northern Coalition Threatens To Protest, Says Buhari’s Impunity Wont by olisaEze(m):
kikero:
Keep in mind that our oil revenue is too low to sustain our population

How comes? Our crude oil breakeven price, the price we need for us to earn enough cash to pay for a sustainable budget is 140 dollars per barrel according to Fitch.

The last time oil was that high was briefly in 2008.

Oil right now is at 40 dollars per barrel. It has not been above 90 dollars per barrel since 2014 even.

That's why prices of fuel and power have to go up, Nigeria does not have the money to keep prices low.

And that's why we keep taking loans.Because frankly speaking we are not earning the kind of income that would prevent us from taking loans ( and why I am annoyed with Buhari for not diversifying)

(Figures for power were from Moghalu recent interview, figures for oil from various news reports over the years
I don’t know how Moghalu arrived at his facts, but if i may share a piece of knowledge with you, one major factor that determines the landing cost is the exchange rate.

Given the high demand for foreign exchange accounted for by petroleum products’ importation, it is a potential destabilizing mechanism which underlies the domestic market.

To avoid this pitfall and it’s effect on our poverty ranking, it should be of paramount importance that domestic refining is resuscitated, and not inundating us with debts on rail lines that are of no immediate economic effects on the average Nigerian.

Nigeria stands out among OPEC members as the one who exports virtually all her crude and imports the bulk of refined products for domestic consumption.

PS: It is important to note that there is no established mechanism for determining adjustments to prices, adjustments in government administered prices have tended to be in quantum leaps.

The Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) determines the Expected Open Market Price (EOMP) based on a template agreed to by the stakeholders within the framework of the agency’s governing board. Which has resulted on a number of occasions, in which announced prices have had to be rolled back.

And also why corruption is rife within our nation’s oil sector.

I wonder where all the people protesting expect Nigeria to get money to pay to subsidse fuel to 90 per liter, when landing cost as well.as production cost is over 150 naira per liter.

Or how people.expect us to keep paying 30 naira per kWh for power that costs over 50 naira per kWh

Maybe they want Nigeria to keep taking loans

And keep taking loans.

(And yes, Buhari should have done more on raising income from solid minerals and agriculture which is what them Northern boys should be complaining about)
Pls how did you arrive at these figures and why has the fixing of our refineries (which was an urgent campaign agenda) suddenly taken a backseat to borrowing to build railway lines that lead from Daura to Niger republic? I’m not trying to argue, just really want to learn.

However, you should be asking for forgiveness from the Nigerian nation & its youths whom you wronged by not effectively researching enough as an internationally trained lecturer about the candidate u eventually supported and consequently led many to believe astonishing lies that he would be a messiah.
