I dont want to check your phone and pls stay out of mine. Before the mobile phone people cheat and get away with it. Having access to your phone is not a litmus test to me, what will be will be.

You personally can never see it because you were born a Yoruba-hating bigot. She is 100% correct. Those who have exposure, beyond Africa, and integrity can testify to what she is saying.

For example, PMS price in the UK is one of the highest in the world but that is not a concern of most Britons since it is not compulsory to own a vehicle, due to near excellent transport infrastructure, nor use petrol generator because power supply is constant and adequate.

Reforms that improve transport infrastructure and power supply are the sort Nigeria must embark on and see to the end. To that end, full deregulation off the downstream sector, is an enabler.

Yes Nigerians pay more for petrol but greater government income, aided by deregulation, means we can hopefully move towards becoming like developed nation that have real and globally relevant/desirable value in their economy rather than what obtains with Nigeria where we subsidized most things, including our currency, but do nothing well enough to benefit from it economically.

For example, Korea and Japan produce cars and electronics the world wants. They have desirable exports. When will Nigeria ever get close to resembling those nation when we want to languish in subsidy mediocrity rather than embrace reforms, painful in the short term, that will stimulate innovation, productivity and solutions-porvistiin nous Nigeria needs to compete and thrive in today's global economy?

Obdurately focusing on petrol price alone misses the big picture per where Nigeria needs to get to enroute to being a developed nation. We need great transport, steady power, proliferation of SMEs, a strong currency based on economic success anchored firmly on manufacturing and exporting more good and services than we import. Etc, etc.

How will all those happen with the subsidy lifestyle some want Nigeria to persevere with which only favours the outlook of Northern leaders who feel government money should basically provide a big and free food parlour for all?

Your bigotry will never allow you see the good a Yoruba man is trying to do.

Bro, comparing Nigeria to any country in the West is very insensitive. Whats the minimum wage in Uk? Nigeria that still carry 2 passengers in front seat even in the country's capital, Abuja! A country where cows roam the streets and defecate at will. We, a once developing country is now a seriously under developed country. With all these anti people policies and corruption it will take a miracle to get us back to pre 2015 era. People are suffering.

It happens everywhere in the world. Thats what deregulation is all about. Market forces dictate the price level.

Thesame market forces that made it impossible to have a working refinery in the past 25yrs abi?

If you were legally married seek for legal help. Family died the day your husband died, now its time to fight for your 2yr old and yourself. You are still young, start the legal battle now before you loss it all. But your husband should have a will, this will clear out all grey areas, contact his lawyer.

No price?

Or is it your usual call for pricing,
Serious buyers only.

Bills, Bills, Bills...
Why me oh...
It wasnt me...
The boy is mine...

Kudos to your brother. In not too far future the only animals a Nigerian will ever see in person will be Dogs, cats, rats, cows, goats & rams. The rest will be seen on Natgeo Wild.

But who cares?

Bros your mechanic is a quack Kazim, better one sef. The bay of a Corolla can not carry a 2.4l engine that the Venza or Camry has. There is simply no space in a Corolla or else its custom fitted by cutting out and welding stuff.

What you bought is a 2.0 Corolla that comes in the Asia, Dubai, South Africa Spec Corolla. Only USA spec doesnt come in 2.0. Take your car to a proper mechanic for diagnosis.

No Shame.

Why is it so hard for Nigeria marketers to put a price on their products. Even a manufacturer like IVM in this advert still cant put up their prices for the available trims.

In other climes even reviewers put up the price of what they review, information should be complete. How much is this? Must we call to confirm? Serious buyers only?

He is a hypeman for Christ sake! His job is to hype his boss in all mannerism.

Hypeman is now a profession and he earns way more than some bankers, so whats the issue.

People here are just silly. Expecting a 55yr old man to still look muscular and bulky like his 30s. The man has chosen to be lean and healthy, so as to grow gracefully.

He isnt sick, just a choice or could be a requirement for a movie role just like when 50cent had to lose 54pounds in the movie "All things Fall Apart".

Its like Dora took NAFDAC along cause how do u explain that this agency died at exactly the same time she left office

I miss OBJ cabinet members

As for VDM, be like the guy wan contest for Councillor for hin ward, make he tell us, make we sef tell hin people to support am

If every state in Nigeria have 5 VDMs, Government will seat up.

As i first see Garki my mind cut!!

When he was residing in Zamfara as Governor how did it ginger the men in uniform? or is he indirectly saying he was ruling from FCT or anywhere but his state??

Wolverine, Cyclops, Xavier & co, one of your

richiemcgold:
This comparison is very stupid, childish and baseless. Are you expecting the lecturers to expend all their money on posh cars? They surely have more responsibilities. Some even have children schooling abroad. If you're a responsible father/mother, tell me which one would you choose between posh cars or sponsoring your children. My Dean for instance rides venza jeep, he can surely afford a bigger ride but he has 3 children currently studying in Canada. His last born is processing Australian visa RN. Do you know how much it costs to sponsor four children abroad?

A matured response to a very childish comparison. Some people thing posh cars equates to rest of mind and happiness.

Whether Nigeria had intervened or not, apartheid would have still left before 2000 as South Africa apartheid ally the soviet union collapsed. So Nigeria 'apartheid intervention' is as useless as the p in psychology. Plus you must be highly delusional if you think Nigeria had that much influence over apartheid south Africn government

Its not about the influence or not that Nigeria had over appatheid, but the act of love, support, oneness, selflessness, determination, brotherhood, camaraderie and sacrifices made

Maintenance culture is lacking among Nigerians and it starts with the govt

Pls check my profile to get affordable tablets

Its start with us at home.

This is not surprising. A 5 year old car bought brand new in Nigeria can not be compared to a 10year old Tokunboh. The tokunboh is cleaner and more road worthy. Talk less of comparing an aeroplane. A hundred year old aeroplane and car in America is even better than a 5 year old car and plane in Nigeria. Doubt it go and check how much classics cost.

Who will pay for damages & who will pay for medical bills? That looks like a taxi and i am very sure no be the owner dey drive am.

The woman saw hell, it's in her eyes.


The name of the capital of that country should be a red flag to any sane person that wants to live long.
Says a broke wretched unattractive Nigerian girl.

Her eyes where the first thing that caught my attention. That lady is clearly not her self and probably will never be.

Thats one ugly piece of art. From the colors to the figure.... Lots of more beautiful ideas dey my poor mind. Maybe it was a gift.

Na to use pidgin english engage her na. You don see wia dem dey correct pidgin english?

money that all three brothers will spend, invest, squander and still have enough for charity is what one wants to covet alone?
politificians are not our problem, we Nigerians are our problem. E get who, how or where we no fit thief from?

They rarely have time for themselves talkless of you. With the shortage of medical personnel, they are always on call. But when you are lucky to catch one and it works, you are truly the luckiest man around.

Its all about estacodes and dollars not about medals and honor. A corrupt process cant birth honor.

Lexus Es fwd, and GS rwd,awd no balance. I drove my guys gs yesterday and I fired it to 120kph..oh bobs the car was feeling like it had flat tyres,was just bouncing doing left and right while in motion...omo I no tell am oh.

You cant get thesame experience from two different cars, a Lexus GS is rear wheel drive while an ES is front wheel. A Lexus GS comes with V6 & V8 while the ES is only V6.

If either of these cars felt floaty i doubt its the GS. Being high can also feel floaty, not that i am saying you where high... I no talk am o!

Lol!

Tinubu mean well for Nigeria and that was why he hijacked the election to become president by force.

Unfortunately, he does not have the quality of a leader.

He is arrogant and extremely proud, he listens to nobody and he probably thought he can run Nigeria like a cartel.

Kofoworola Burknor, ogbeni Rauf have all made this known.

How can you foolishly removed subsidy in one swoop and more ridiculous is the fact that there was no where in the speech that he read it.

Was it dementia that affected him cos he was against Jonathan removing subsidy in one swoop.

But as soon as he got sworn in, he did exactly what he advised Jonathan against in 2012


Now Read Tinubu's very own words to Jonathan in 2012.

11 January, 2012

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) national leader and former governor of Lagos State, has accused the Jonathan presidency of betraying its social contract with the people by suddenly removing fuel subsidy.

He, however, provided a window out of the crisis:

if subsidy must be removed at all, it must never be at one fell swoop. Rather it must be on calibrated phrases, on which the promised gains are measured and confirmed before moving to the next phase of removal.

“Government must modify the sudden and complete removal of the subsidy. Either we restore the subsidy or use the funds for other social purposes.

,” Asiwaju Tinubu counselled in a special release he captioned, ‘Removal of oil subsidy – President Jonathan breaks social contract with the people’ and which he personally signed.

“If we are to use the funds for other programmes, these programmes shall be placed on parallel track with the subsidy. As more of these programmes are ready to go on line, then the subsidy can be lifted in phases” he continued. “In this way, the public is assured government will not lower its total expenditure on their behalf, thus maintaining the spirit central to the social contract.”*

But the former governor cautioned the federal government against economic policies that tend to balance the books at the detriment of the people’s welfare.

“As there is progressive politics, there is progressive economics. As there is elitist politics, there is elitist economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu explained. “It all depends on what and who in society government would rather favour.

The Jonathan tax,” he declared, “represents a new standard in elitism.”
But the ACN national leader cautioned the president against being captive to economic orthodoxy and its local purveyors, who always look at the Nigerian economy as nothing until when tied to the apron strings of the conservative orthodoxy.

“Because he is slave to wrong-headed economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu said of President Goodluck Jonathan, “the people will become enslaved to greater misery. This crisis will bear his name and will be his legacy. The people now pay a steep tax for voting him into office.

The removal of the subsidy is the ‘Jonathan tax’,” he insisted. “The situation shows that ideas count more than personalities.

People may occupy office but how that person performs depends on the ideas that occupy his mind
Insisting that the subsidy removal was ill-timed he said there must be some conditions precedent before such a step could be taken

“First government needs to clean up and throw away the salad of corruption in the NNPC [Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation]. Then, proceed to lay the foundation for a mass transit system in the railways and road network with long term bonds and,” he added, “fully develop the energy sector towards revitalising Nigeria’s economy and easing the burden any subsidy removal may have on the people.”

Iyaloja if you are reading this just know that your father has destroyed Nigeria with his oversabi attitude.

I'm sure mummy can not even correct him cos he believes he is all knowing.

Your father has destroyed Nigeria by doing exactly what he advised against

You are in Aso Rock enjoying and eating quality food and you have the temerity to advise people who are using water melon, cucumber to make stew.

Im trying not to use offensive words on you.

And for the records, I'm not igbo. Omo yoruba gidi ni mi.


The worst part of it all is that the same subsidy he hurriedly removed is now back and bigger cos the FG is still paying subsidy and that is why petrol price has not risen higher than it is presently.

This is the consequence of irrational decision making.

You forgot to add; floating of the Naira.
These are the two things that got us where we are today.

E-diot!
