Politics › Re: Tinubu Is Gradually Losing The Support Of The Northerners by Paraman: 3:36pm On Dec 03, 2024 |
Yung6six: I can't see Tinubu winning a reelection in 2027 because a whole lot of Nigerians are groaning and moaning. The Northerners who supported him massively in 2023 have already lost confidence in Him. The Tax reform Bill which is yet to be passed into law having scaled through a second reading is also another albatross to his reelection as Northerners stand united against the bill. Why the rush in trying to pass this bill when the necessary modalities haven't been put in place? Same thing he did in the removal of fuel subsidy and you can see where it has landed us.
Also considering the hardship being experienced by Nigerians, the growing level of inflation and worsening insecurity are all factors that cast his reelection in doubt, as those who would help him Rig the election are not comfortable with his Policies. His policies have proven to be inimical and detrimental to the interest of the masses.
Tinubu is a disaster. A monumental one at that. The worst president in Nigeria's History. Oga, leave all this small girls talk till then We should be concern about serious issues like the ones below https://www.nairaland.com/8284074/wike-begins-rehabilitation-nyanya-karshi-roadThe 2027 election will be far far easy for Tinubu |
Politics › Kukah Backs Tinubu’s Tax Reforms To Tackle Elite Recklessness by Paraman(op): 12:21pm On Dec 03, 2024 |
The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Hassan Kukah, has expressed support for the proposed tax reform bills introduced by President Bola Tinubu, stating that they have the potential to curb the recklessness of the elite in the country. The clergyman shared his views during an appearance on Channels Television’s Morning Brief programme on Tuesday. The PUNCH reports that the tax reform bills have sparked significant controversy since their introduction to the National Assembly. The bills have also faced opposition from lawmakers, state governors, and notable political figures, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum, and former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal. Despite the opposition, Kukah expressed optimism, describing the reforms as a step towards better fiscal management and a remedy for financial mismanagement in the country. He stressed that effective reforms are essential to set Nigeria on a path to sustainable progress. “Nigeria is a very energetic country with people who are exceptionally gifted and always ready to excel. However, our challenge lies in the inability of states to create platforms that harness the energy, vision, and competing narratives of their citizens. This lack of structure often results in violence,” he said. Kukah added, “I am excited because this conversation offers an opportunity to address and end financial recklessness. It is ironic that Nigerians, despite living in a richly endowed country, find themselves spectators to the rascality and irresponsibility of the elite who mismanage our resources. “These reforms should help transform the narrative and ensure the efficient management of our resources. I am hopeful that this marks the beginning of a long journey towards fiscal responsibility and the development of the nation we all aspire to build.” https://punchng.com/kukah-backs-tinubus-tax-reforms-to-tackle-elite-recklessness/?amp |

mbaise1000: There is nothing wrong in any group deciding on what to accept where to join and where not to, the IPOB group whoever they are must take note of this, if you don't want anyone to force anything over you, you must not Force anything over anyone else, if you refuse independence to people around you, it will be an insult to others if you go to other countries and ask for independence for those that you think others are forcing to be where they are. The IPOB directors must learn to leave out anyone or group that doesn't want to join , there are things you don't force people to do, the IPOB leaders must accept that there are people who see the CHAINS AND SHACKLES on their hands and legs as ornaments of gold and diamond and there are others who don't know the value of diamonds and gold if they see them. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. The igala youths, if these ones are their real representatives just said they are comfortable in nigeria, so IPOB should not force them, and if their problem is that they should be consulted FIRST, I don't know 💯 |

The Igala Youth Council has dissociated the Igala from being referred to as one of the states in the proposed United States of Biafra by the Indigenous People of Biafra. The organisation condemned IPOB for including the Igala nation in their proposed “United States of Biafra” without their consent. This was contained in a statement issued on Monday and made available to newsmen in Lokoja, Kogi State capital. “This strong stance was taken during an emergency meeting held on December 1, 2024, in response to a viral video outlining IPOB’s plan for a 40-state Biafran nation,” the statement noted. The statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Michael Joshua, emphasised that the Igala people were never consulted or invited to discuss this proposal, and therefore, rejected IPOB’s attempt to include them in their secessionist agenda. The council stressed, “The Igala nation demands good governance for all its people within the Nigerian nation, rather than being dragged into IPOB’s madness. “It’s worth noting that IPOB’s actions have been a subject of controversy, with some viewing their agitation as a legitimate cry for self-determination, while others see it as a threat to national unity. “The group’s methods, including the imposition of a weekly ‘sit-at-home’ order, have been criticised for their disruptive impact on the economy and daily life in the Southeast region.” The council leadership called on Igala across the globe to ignore the claim from the IPOB group and go about their lawful business in Nigeria. https://punchng.com/igala-youths-reject-inclusion-in-ipobs-proposed-biafra/ |

Politics › The Port Harcourt Refinery Has Announced The Resumption Of Full Operations by Paraman(op): 1:58pm On Dec 02, 2024 |
The Port Harcourt refinery has announced the resumption of full operations after temporarily scaling down.This was made known by the Managing Director of the refinery, Mr Ibrahim Onoja, while addressing journalists after a facility tour of the refinery on Sunday, December 1, 2024, where he revealed that the facility had resumed distribution of products, including Premium Motor Spirit, kerosene, and diesel.
This is as the controversy surrounding the resumption of operations of the Port Harcourt refinery rages on with some stakeholders expressing doubts over the announcement by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.
The plant is running Onoja said, ”The refining plant has undergone extensive upgrades to enhance efficiency and reliability which had also impacted production capacity.
”We replaced most of the equipment including pump installation and cables.
“The plant is running and we are trucking out our products.’’
Speaking at the occasion, the Director of Operations of the Nigeria Pipeline Storage Company (NPSC) Ltd, Mr Moyi Maidunama, acknowledged a temporary reduction in production.
He, however, explained that the reduction was to help address some technical issues aimed at improving the delivery capacity of the facility.
He said, ”We are managing the process with the number of trucks available today, using three loading arms for evacuation, this will be resolved soon.
”Our operations were not totally halted but reduced due to some of the improvements that we needed to make in terms of getting more loading arms operational.
”We have been evacuating refined petroleum products from the refinery since yesterday and it’s obviously going to be a continuous process.’’
Also, the terminal manager, Mr. Worlu Joel, confirmed the efficiency of the refinery, adding that it had begun loading Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), kerosene, and diesel.
He said that the depot which has 11 functional loading bays currently uses only 3 due to its high efficiency, adding that each of the bay evacuates as much as 3 trucks in 15 minutes.
He, however, expressed worries over the slow turnout of tanker drivers.
He said, ”We have surplus product. Let’s say we have up to 100 trucks today, we will evacuate them in five hours, It’s no longer our problem, it’s the tanker drivers.’’
What you should know Recall that on November 26, 2024, the NNPC announced that the Port Harcourt refinery had begun production after a long period of rehabilitation.
It stated that the newly rehabilitated complex of the old Port Harcourt refinery, which had been revamped and upgraded with modern equipment, is operating at a refining capacity of 70% of its installed capacity.
NNPC added that diesel and Pour Fuel Oil would be the highest output from the refinery, with a daily capacity of 1.5 million litres and 2.1 million litres, respectively. However, a leader of the Alesa community stakeholders, the host community of the refinery, Timothy Mgbere, alleged that the petroleum products loaded from the newly rehabilitated Port-Harcourt Refinery were not freshly refined but products left in the storage tank of the facility in the last 3 years.
He also alleged that the refinery only loaded 6 trucks on Tuesday despite stating that 200 trucks would be picked up from the refinery daily.
Also, a few days ago, there were reports that the refinery had stopped operations as there was no activity on site, with some workers claiming that the refinery was undergoing calibration which might last till next week.
The Port Harcourt Refining Company in its clarification said that its operations were not completely halted but scaled down to facilitate improvements at the facility. https://nairametrics.com/2024/12/02/port-harcourt-refinery-resumes-full-operations-after-temporary-scale-down/
