Zidane has joined the elite group of men that have won the champion league as player and coach - Oh and for the same club. His Legend just got legendary

In Spain, Only Barcelona and Real Madrid are allowed to win the Champions League. The rest should manage the Europa.

CFCman:
And we go to penalties... The 2001 final in Milan also ended in penalties, with the team in red (Bayern) prevailing

Also the 2008 final but I'm rooting for Real Madrid.

This athletico sabi block...wetin!

danot1030:
Somebody should enlighten me please. Is the name Umanna Umanna not from the criminals zone region of Nigeria, I mean the hardworking jews, the Lagos and Abuja developers?

If what you actually saw was Umanna then the enlightenment you need is that of a place to treat your eye sight

DropShot:
You're obviously behaving like a proper illiterate here.

Our amiable president, President Muhammadu Buhari only paid subsidy in 2015 plus the debt left behind by the Ineffectual Buffoon. In 2016, PMB has not paid a penny in subsidy. Again, read about it here http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/02/no-subsidy-paid-in-january-kachikwu/

It's attached for you as well.

It's amazing how people can be ignorant yet so abusive.

Yeeeeeah! Glory Glory Man utd. It is Déjà vu. Just like in 1990, Manchester United defeats Crystal Palace. Hope it triggers more trophies like it did then.

prodigistopy:
Let's just face it, what's the difference between this statement and what what Jonathan sometime said that he didn't give a fuccck.

If Jonathan did it, should it continue? Is their mantra not change?

Snowflake002:
Sahara reporters, your question is wrong: the price wasn't increased. Subsidy was removed. By the way, now is the best time for that; if the price went higher and Nigeria survived it, I think we can cope with this. Just that the money realised from its removal should be judiciously utilised.

Are you saying the subsidy being paid was N58.50 (i.e. 145 - 86.50)?

VocalWalls:
Q.E.D.



Just about a month ago, the subsidy per litre was around 9.09 naira, we had all been ready for the removal, hoping that it would land us at N100 at most.



How on earth did they start to consider N145?
is the president trying to scam nigerians after the bank deposit stamp duty of N50 naira per transaction was ignored?
Lord Have mercy!

www.vocalwalls.com

That was calculated with N197 to a dollar. The CBN will no longer provide these marketers with forex at the official rate. Do the calculation with the rate in the parallel market and see what you'll get.

thefakestan:
Let's assume you are right, it's still shy of 140N. So where did the extra 5N come from?

Now considering the fact that the Marketers are only responsible for about 50% of the products, what now happens to the other 50% imported or refined or sourced by NNPC?

That means they'll be making over 45N per litre!!!

Truth be told, the Marketers will not sell @ 145,
Because when NNPC was selling @ 86 they sold for 130.
We should expect them to sell for something close to 200N since NNPC will be dispensing for about 145.





ThefakeStan

Lets do some rough calculation: @N197 Landing cost is N84.32 and N85.08 per litre for NNPC retail outlets and marketers respectively ;
@N320 Landing cost is N136.96 and N138.20 per litre for NNPC retail outlets and marketers respectively
Don't forget you'll still have to add the distribution margin, which include retailers, transportation, bridging fund(NNPC used to pay marketers for deliveries outside Lagos) and dealers margin. U get my drift?

hahahahahah! wishful thinking!!

Ain't wishful thinking. It's the sentiment shared by more and more Nigerians.

Last year, the generally feeling was anybody but Jonathan. I heard people say, "surely it couldn't be worse than this." However, the events of the last 12 months have made a lot of people reminisce on the GEJ era with feelings of nostalgia. They are beginning to think maybe he wasn't that bad.

As I write, I don't know of any campaign promise that has been kept. It's been denials and more denials. They were same ones that claimed that with the falling oil prices, PMS should be cheaper and promised to make it cheaper. We voted in Buhari to get positive change. Yet, the people are not even complaining that the country is not better but that he's made it worse than he met it. The longer it goes on the more it makes Gej look like a saint.

Remii:
to those who can not compare and contrast facts. Why not juxtapose indexes of 4 years ago to today? Are you buying all other commoditties the prices of 2012 in 2016? Would you rather spend the whole of our $27b reserve on subsidy to some cabal who will still sell fuel at N150/l all in the name of being politically correct?

What you just said gives credence to my point. This was the same thing GEJ tried to do and he was criticised by d APC. With d APC in power, they can clearly see that it was the way to go. So with the aid of hindsight, I can infer Gej was right and the opposition was wrong.

The emphasis here is 'look'. Last year, the general feeling was anybody but Jonathan. I heard people say, "surely it couldn't be worse than this." However, the events of the last 12 months have made a lot of people reminisce on the GEJ era with feelings of nostalgia. They are beginning to think maybe he wasn't that bad.

Buhari is making GEJ look like a saint

thefakestan:
Madam you are wrong, Mrs Iyoyo!



You are trying to generate revenue for the Federal Government!

The latest prices published the correct amount to dispense products was somewhere around 99 naira, so where did the additional 45 naira appear from?

Who are you to put a maximum price?

Filling stations in my area were selling for 130, now they'll increase theirs to maybe 160-200,

At a time where tomatoes is selling for 4 "seeds " 200N
Dollar exchanging for over 320 (Parallel market)
Basin of Garri is now 3k as against 1k5
Rice is now. 16-17k a bag.
But Workers salaries remain the same!





ThefakeStan

This is how I think they arrived at N145. If the govt provided forex for these marketers at the official rate then ninety something naira would be possible. However, these marketers would be sourcing for dollars at the parallel market. I don't think it's coincidence that the ratio N320:N197 is almost equal to N145:N86

eledalo:
No matter the price of a barrel of oil, the price remains the same: Despite the rise and falls of crude oil prices from time immemorial, the price of petrol, diesel and kerosene has never come up or down in response to the crude oil price! Instead, it slowly and constantly creeps higher every single year. Diesel was deregulated in 2009 and sold for about N90 (See pic below). Today diesel retails for between N125-135 per litre. Why has the price been going up consistently?

When the raw material for a particular good falls as sharply as crude oil has, the cost of producing that good also falls. The price of PMS fell in other countries. Nigeria is an exception because the fall in the naira wrt dollar evened things up.

Abeg who dey sell Wailer's form sef?

Nnaabros:
A Brief History. *preceding pages have been removed by mods* Culled from Frederick Forsythe's The Biafran Story

Defeating Nigeria was as easy as ABC for the Biafrans. If not for the British, Americans, Egyptian, Russians etc intervention. That is why Nigerian leaders shiver anytime they here Biafra mentioned

U know the story jo. I always smile when I see them making mouth about how they dealt with the Biafrans. It's because the civil war story has been distorted. The Interventions and sabotage (and not the might of the Nigerian Military) were the reasons why the Biafran dream wasn't actualized

dason4life:
Nigerians have been playing the "Blame Game" Since 1465.
If the market-woman decides to increase the price of her locally produced foodstuff and blame it on fuel scarcity and cost of dollar, dullards will still blame Buhari.
Even the goats have followed suit.


_{****waiting for your quotes*****}

Chai! Obviously, you've not heard of ripple effect.

On point. They constantly distract them. Make them major on the minors. Hence, they lose sight of what's truly important.

OMG...klopp na better coach o. Liverpool punching above their weight. Knocking out Man U - Dortmund - Now Villarreal. They sabi play cup competition walahi.

Image123:
Lol, what did he say today, i'm interested. Did he use the f word?

Lol. He's not allowed to say such.
I heard it over the radio that he had giving instructions, in very strong terms, to the security agencies to deal decisively with any rampaging herdsman.

Spanish league is so strong. Bayern hasn't found a formula for these teams (From Real Madrid to Barcelona and Now Athletico)

This away goal rule sef

Image123:
It's just today YOU heard. He's been saying whatever you heard before today.i'm certain many fulanis and herdsmen will not hear whatever you heard today. We hope concrete actions are taken though.

Yeah. The comments in the past were weak - not the kind you want to hear if you are on the receiving end of these attacks. I also hope they follow through.

Image123:
i clearly remember the Presidency's reactions to the events on the news then and on social media like Twitter and Facebook where Shehu and co engages. Using Google now though, could come up with one or two links.
“We will act immediately.
“We will conduct an investigation to know exactly
what happened. The only way to bring an end to
the violence once and for all is to look beyond
one incident and ascertain exactly what factors
are behind the conflicts,” he said.
President Buhari stressed that all Nigerians must
learn to live together as one, in peace and unity.
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/02/agatu-killings-buhari-expresses-shock-orders-investigation/

It's after this that both police and military have been deployed to site and several arrests made. Note the facts of denials too from the herdsmen. The herdsmen say it's not them but cattle rustlers etc. Its certainly not an act of impunity against the government or community like the case of boko haram or pipeline vandals or those Shite boys or Nnamdi Kanu. Why they should be treated like boko haram is sentimental, let's be practical and reasonable.

Even last year before election, these same thing happened. We heard Buhari condemn it,we didn't hear GEJ who would rather look for votes than alienate himself.

It's just today the President said what I had been expecting him to say all the while

On the final day of season, Leicester (New Champions) would be given a guard of honour at Stamford Bridge by Chelsea (immediate past Champion). Ranieri would be honoured on the same ground were he was deemed not good enough. How fitting!

Na so Leicester City com carry league...who would have believed this? In the end money can't buy you everything.

Elxandre:
When you guys are done causing disharmony between he and his teammates, let me know.

Which sensible player runs to the corner flag to celebrate an goal when being 2-0 down except a self centered man?

It's obvious you didn't watch the match. I stand to be corrected; there has never been a time he scored while they were trailing 2-0 that he ran to corner flag to celebrate.

deeplow:
I have seen that happen a couple of times. Truth be told, he has to learn quick. There are some goals you just dont waste time celebrating. Your team is a goal or 2 down, you score, and start heading towards the corner flag to celebrate... thats immature.

The normal thing is to grab the ball and run towards the centre circle, your teammates will shake hands with you and the match resumes, no time wasting.

Against Crystal Palace, away, when he scored the winning goal in the dying minutes of the game, they all rallied round him and celebrated.

I can bet you didn't watch the match.

alexistaiwo:
nice point bro but have seen countless teams celebrate when a player pulls a goal back after being 2-0 down.
hit like if you think there is a conspiracy theory at work in this issue.
share if u think there is nothing about it

It could happen in 2-legged tie when the goal is important in the context of the tie e.g an away goal.

PIPPROF:
whats it with this 16 years stale excuse

was Nigeria japan before 1999?

you claim your from benue but run around this forum defending killer herdsmen like your life depends on it

and only fools believe an illiterate will turn around a country when he could not even improve his personal life

Don't mind these guys. Every time 16 years this, 16 years that...did PDP not meet over 30 years of Military misrule with oil prices that were lower than they currently are. I don't remember OBJ playing the blame game. It's just lame. We are not even angry that they haven't kept their campaign promises. Our grouse is that the economy is worse than they met it.
