Car TalkRe: Tinubu Bans FEC Members From Purchase Of Petrol-Dependent Vehicles by pocom16: 8:10am On May 14, 2024
Bullfallo:
S country that depends so much on oil revenue? It’s only shows the government is directionless
You are not reasoning straight.

If every petrol vehicle begins to run on gas it won't affect oil revenues..may I remind you that the oil revenues comes from export not domestic use

huh

Meanwhile, Nigeria is supposed to be an oil exporting nation.
We are not supposed to be encouraging all these CNG and ELECTRIC VEHICLE stuff.
Na who go come buy our oil since the country depends so much on it's sales?
CNG is also from oil and gas..
Secondly Oil is used for way more than to produce Petrol

if you are close to them, advise them to think meticulously before implementing any uncalled for policies.

You destroyed something
You are trying to fix it
And you make it seem like you are wise...lol
Nothing was destroyed sir..

You aren't thinking straight..banks practice shaddy deals of selling USD to black markets and making up to N300 per note..

What Tinubu did was take steps to close that gap between official and BDC rate and have a unified rate like in any sensible economy..

Doing that is what brought that rate..it is a small sacrifice to take for the greater good..

Never has it happen that BDC rates will be less than official rate...this will allow the naira to truly experience it's true value and will keep the CBN in control of the currency not BDC or Binance.. Tinubu knows what he is doing, apparently he is not done..
He has to deal with obi supporters refusing to bring down the cost of imported goods

What if they didn't fix it..

The same rate OBJ met isn't what he left it at, same with GEJ and PMB...BAT is trying to taking it to what he met it at and slowly that is becoming reality

Emefiele is a disgrace to the South.. the attrocities the useless man committed was just too much.
This is his fellow Southerner that is performing wonders in the same seat as CBN Governor.
The main reason some Northerners are antagonizing the President and Mr. cardoso is because of the clampdown on their shady activities killing naira in their BDC business.

A Yoruba is not one to cower to anybody or region. We are equal stakeholders in this project called Nigeria and anyone who isn't satisfied can fvck off to Niger Republic or Chad

BusinessRe: Diesel Takes Up 80% Of Our Profit - Manufacturers Association Of Nigeria (MAN) by pocom16: 12:57pm On Apr 16, 2024
Max24:
Government investing in power projects is not a smart move. That was the genesis of all the wasted monies by Obasanjo and others. Same happens every time government spends money on refineries in the past. It's better for government to create a conducive environment for private investors and allow them to invest in power projects rather than using government money. An example was the old govt telephone company, NITEL, compared to when private investors like MTN, ECONET,GLO entered the field. That revolutionalized the telecoms sector. Government should do same with power.
If you want private sector in there.. subsidy in electricity must end

Kenochi:
In an earlier thread,I stated that Nigeria is the only country in the world that economic activities are run on Diesel
Our energy mix is probably the worst in the world,in a country where people are struggling to produce electricity,you now mandate that all electricity produced should be sent to the National Grid, power is produced in Akwaibom and that power is sent to a Central Grid
That central grid now sends it to Companies in States who now resell it,this is why we will never progress
This Government must decentralize power,let us have Regional Grids for all the regions.
Coming back to MAN,I feel for them,I salute their patriotism because it is not easy producing anything in Nigeria
I also salute Dangote,I sincerely feel they can still reduce the price of Diesel,even if Government can intervene to ask that the price be reduced to at least 1000 naira,it will greatly reflect on the end users who desperately need respite
You can't have regional grids just like that..

Power infrastructure is not something to change policy and everything changes..

Government doesn't have money to develop it..you want them to dismantle national grid and rewire for regional? With which money..

Who will start rerouting transmission lines?

You could see different fools above saying 600k is too much to earn for a month's work.

What can 600k do in this present Nigeria. A fool up there still said maybe he meant 61,500. Can 61,500 even get a bag of rice.

I weap for these fools
600k per month can still do alot.. be realistic

It seems you do not know your money and those of other Nigerians was sunk into that place. Part of the economic, exchange rate problems Nigerians are suffering now is also as a result of that refinary.
Nigerians are suffering is as a result of past administration negligence to building refineries.. Obasanjo GEJ and yar adua are the reason we are in a big mess... let's leave the military..these tenures had the opportunity of building these facilities when the revenue from oil was reasonable and exchanged rates were down..


Dangote is like every other big industry in Nigeria..
They are establish to make profit.. judging how harsh the nigerian environment is.. government try to favour these industries to prevent them from shutting down..

Selling cheap forex, tax credit etc are such examples..otherwise you should see more frequent close downs

It's Ur habit to aimless beat around the bush with matters that are obvious..

As for the bolded.. you can expect me to help you see if you are blind.. undecided

The use of plane wood is boring, old and outdated..
If you can't agree then you are not updated

If you agree that that facility doesn't need overhaul that's your opinion.

A Google search will prove that Ebonyi and Anambra have built better facilities..

Except you are blind you should see that the wall coverings should be total brought down and replaced with something more aesthetic...

Proper and modern tiling and not rugs

Those overhead lights are out dated and can't even brighten up the main hall..

He should look into the national library too. Was there about 2 years ago and that place looks nothing like a library.

Building a new one in different location with modern facilities and technology wouldn’t be a bad idea because, the present location also doesn’t look good as it’s too crowded and noisy to host such an institution.
The new national library is located close to the millennium tower..I believe Wike plans to complete that as well

ArcSEMPECJ:
From the look of the pictures, what is missing is Maintenance orderliness of the center which is zero just like the National Stadium in Abuja or Lagos State....

Renovation means there are more facilities to be considered so the structure may need to be expanded, or that some parts of the building have wall cracks and looking old so some finishing works need to be done while an introduction of something new be done in the facades ..

Besides I don't see why Julius Berger should be involved in this issue as well, is it because they are paid in foreign currency 💲huh?
Julius Berger built that facility..there is no better contractor to call than the Initial builders..
