2. Why the Naira was devalued by more than 70%.

Celebrities › Re: Chioma Obiadi's Open Letter To Donald Trump by pokipoki: 12:45pm On Jun 05, 2017
What she should understand is that millions of American jobs will be lost if the US decides to abide by the agreement. Trump is really a true leader who cares for his people, unlike many African leaders who just sign the agreement without thinking of the immediate and future consequence. Although, critics will argue that the effects of this global warming.
The question she needs to ask is what benefit does Nigeria tends to achieve in the agreement. The answer is zero. The developed nations will not subsidize or build any renewable energy power plant.
Because of the agreement, Nigeria cannot generate energy from coal going forward. Yet UK, is still running 9 coal plant generating about 14.4GW (Not MW) and plans to shut it down by by 2025.

Politics › Re: 16 Reasons why the Planned Fuel Price Hike Doesn't Make Sense by pokipoki: 8:53pm On Jun 03, 2017
olaparodi:
We are all aware of the recommendation by the Senate Committee on Works to increase the pump price of petrol from N145 to N150 per litre for the implementation of the proposed National Roads Fund (NRF). Note that it's for the maintenance of federal roads only.

Listed below are some reasons why the plan is nonsensical, lazy, and shallow - by olaparodi@gmail.com 

1. The planned increase is coming one year after the present govenment increased fuel price from N87 to N145 per litre! Haba! Una wan kill Nigerians?

2. Those who spend more time in traffic will pay more. And it doesn't necessarily mean they will spend the additional time on federal roads. A good example is if you spend 2 hours in traffic inside Lagos. Na wa o. 

3. Many buyers of petrol and diesel do so to fuel their generators. Why should this set of people pay extra N5 per litre for fuel? Wetin concern generators and maintenance of roads?

4. Many road users who buy petrol or diesel don't use or hardly drive on federal roads. A good example? 'Okada' riders or local cabs. Ah, I almost forgot those living in villages or towns without any 'federal road' presence. 

5. Petrol is already too expensive at N145 per litre. Why are the senators not in a hurry to first make local refineries work? This would lower prices and provide more jobs and revenue for the government. 

6. What would be the formular to spend the revenue generated on the federal roads in each state? Will it be based on the amount generated from each state? Or land mass? Or population? Even if you're able to magically determine the amount generated from each state (I don't know how they can generate reliable figures), the number of federal roads in the state which generates the highest revenue may not be the same or in the same condition as that of state(s) with lower revenues. Magomago go start again o. I can hear echoes of marginalization already. 

7. From available evidence, the funds won't be fairly and equitably utilised. You don't agree? Look at the condition of Lagos ports and you won't believe that those ports generate huge revenues for the FG. What of VAT revenue? How is it being distributed? The injustice will continue. 

8. Federal Government should reduce its presence in maintaining national assets like federal roads. It should handover existing roads to the states where they are located. Or use PPP (Public Private Partnership) to run them. Trying to run the states from the already over-burdened Federal Government is inefficient and should stop. 

For example, Cross River state is planning a 260-kilometre highway and there is no plan to rely on such petrol tax for its maintenance.

9. The existing federal roads should be maintained by revenues from electronically-controlled toll gates. If you don't want to pay the toll, then don't use the road(s). 

10. Increasing petrol price will increase inflation rate and worsen the suffering of the people. Don't forget that over 30 states are owing salaries and millions are unemployed. 

11. What is the Federal Government's plan to fund federal roads in the yet to be signed 2017 budget? Why is the Senate trying to increase the hardship of the people when there is already an Appropriation Bill?

12. What exactly is the Senate's sacrifice to increase the revenue of the government? Why are they always interested in punishing the suffering masses? The National Assembly budget for 2017 is N125 billion!!! A reduction of 10% in the budget will yield N12.5billion! The Senators continue to live large and the masses are living in poverty. Shame!

13. The new plan is not in tune with current global developments in the auto industry. Petrol-driven cars are gradually going into extinction. What were the senators thinking? Many auto manufacturers already have plans to release electric cars. 

14. The new plan shows that Nigeria is still lazily fixated on petrol or crude oil as its main revenue source. Diversify! Look elsewhere! Think of better ideas! Petrol is dying...wake up now! 

15. It's surprising that the Nigerian Senate is not bothered about the calls by Nigerians to unleash the potentials of the country by urgently restructuring the polity, or by the rot in the Police, poor education standard, price hike of everything, worsening unemployment, or the surge in crime.  The only thing they could think of is a Roads Fund which revenue will be looted like others before it. 

16. What system is in place to ensure that the revenue from the price hike will not be looted? I'm not aware of any. What is happening to revenue from Stamp Duty charge being collected from Nigerians? Hmmm...

Nigerians, forward and circulate this before it's too late. Enough is enough!

In addition to your comments, I think it's high time people start recalling representatives in the Senate who have done nothing to alleviate the suffering of the masses. Especially those senators who are proposing for a fuel hike.

Car Talk › Re: NADDC Director Jelani Aliyu Challenges Mechanics To Embrace Technology by pokipoki: 9:10am On Jun 01, 2017
AutoJoshNG:
Director General of National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), Mr. Jelani Aliyu, MFR, has challenged auto technicians and mechanics in Nigeria to show keen interests in emerging technologies in the automotive industry so that they would be in tune with the newer systems.

On his part, he gave a commitment that NADDC would continue to support and collaborate with the national associations of the auto technicians with a view to ensuring that cars on Nigerian roads were safe and working at efficient levels.
Mr. Jelani Aliyu Aliyu was speaking in Abuja today Wednesday May 31, 2017 while receiving a delegation of Motor Mechanics and Technicians Association of Nigeria (MOMTAN) led by its National President, Engr. Chief S.A. Oseni.
The NADDC boss was particularly delighted that MOMTAN had a very good history of working relationship with the Council over the years, stressing that auto technicians had very important roles to play in the development of the auto industry sector.

In his remarks, MOMTAN President congratulated Mr. Jelani Aliyu on his well deserved appointment and pledged the total support of the association to the various programmes and activities of NADDC.
Engr. Oseni was full of appreciation for the tremendous support MOMTAN had received from the Federal Government through NADDC especially in the areas of training and retraining of its members in auto mechatronics engineering, donation of auto diagnostic scanners and tools as well as membership of Sector Skills Council for the auto industry.

He stated that MOMTAN was the umbrella body of motor mechanics and auto technicians in Nigeria.

Politics › Re: Privatized Power Companies In Nigeria And Their Owners by pokipoki: 1:19pm On May 31, 2017
Personally, I think Nigerian companies do not have the financial muscle for power. Most of the companies expect government to subsidize the business for them.
The government should invite big names such as Eskom, GE or the Chinese Energy company to come and run power generation and distribution so that we can move forward.

Yeah. Only applicable to houses built on or before year 2000.
Other than that, the federal government can go to hell!!! What kind of incentives have they given developers or landlords. I wonder why the government is saying this when individuals build soak-aways, drill boreholes and wells and contribute money to grade roads. Not to even mention the bribe they have to give NEPA to connect houses with meters and they expect people to reduce rents. Sick people with bad leadership skills!!!!
