raumdeuter:Nigeria ain't ready for subsidy removal, it'll cause chaos that may end in anarchy and perhaps end the country. EndSars would be a childplay, if Government remove subsidy. Majority are poor, really poor, forget they are leaving homes to spend 9hrs at particular places coz of Stipends. |

If subsidy is removed today, uber drivers may go broke cos almost no one would patronize them after the inevitable 40% hike in fares |

PDPGuy:Apparently NRC is going broke because of diesel costs. Ditto for airlines and ATK. What will people do when there are no alternatives? And petrol goes beyond transport. It is petrol carrying middle class homes and SMEs. That is why you will bizarrely find 10kva petrol generators for sale in Nigeria. Let Peter obi try it, they will turn on him faster than they did on gej The real question is which admin will find it in them to sincerely and punitively address subsidy fraud. Buhari - Mr anti corruption, did not address subsidy fraud or fuel adulteration for that matter. 2 Likes |

izzou:Dangote who is in dollar debt over his refinery? His refinery has the capability to be a game changer, if he somehow can turn a profit on it. I suspect industry players are watching and waiting to see how it turns out before commuting their own funds to similar projects. But the prognosis is not favourable. |

izzou:It has been confirmed long time ago that Dangote’s refinery won’t solve our problems immediately . I once had a privilege to see the loan documents of one of the banks that advance Dangote loan for the refinery . The venture is 4cking expensive , so expensive that I don’t think any businessman will see it through and then start to run a socialist business with capitalist funds . |

izzou:My fear is if NDLEA is committed enough to ensure some of their staff do not steal some of these stuff ( knowing how much it’s worth in black market ) just to get a chunk of the pile . We’ve heard policemen renting out guns to armed robbers in the past; I honestly hope somebody is checking/investigating NDLEA officials to deter some of them that may have evil mind to steal and sell some of these these exhibits seized . |

https://www.nairaland.com/7341826/dismissed-dss-official-9-others A dismissed DSS official was among those paraded by police for carrying out robbery on a billion van in Abuja state . My question is : “Is it right for security agents to be summarily dismissed from service with their tactical training and then expect them to refrain from involving in crime in a bid to fill their stomach ? “ A dismissed soldier with fair idea of IED and other explosives is a danger to the society at large ; just few naira inducement can turn him to explosives expert for any criminal group/bandits. Extreme hunger can turn a dismissed DSS officer to hitman/assassin for politicians ( I mean the deaths of people like Funsho Williams , Bola Ige that has been a mystery to solve till date comes to mind ) I sincerely hope there’s something that can be done instead of dismissing erring security agents and releasing them into the society with all of their trainings still very much alive in them |

BlueRayDick:the real question is about the screening process by which these officers are recruited. until you have a process that is value and integrity driven - all sorts of dubious characters will get into these agencies when efcc was originally setup, Nuhu ribadu's chracter must have cascaded down the ranks. if oga at the top is turning down 15m raw usd , everyone else will do teh same. but the moment you have an oga who is collecting settlement, who is cornering seized assets, expect the corruption to engulf the entire agency. this is where we are with the DSS. the number of security checks you must pass in obodo oyibo before you can work in security agencies i am sure here it is just - fix my guy up. 1 Like |

I support the removal of fuel subsidies, but it's not so much in the removal it's more in the sincerity of the government. I don't think Peter Obi will just yank subsidy off as soon as he becomes president, he's even made comments as to easing it off gradually. Removing fuel subsidies will save us a whole lot, and if we can fix power, that will be less money being spent on fuel. A serious and sincere government can remove fuel subsidy over the course of 8 years and Nigerians won't feel it so much. This subsidy removal thing has become more of a political talking point for the candidates and their cronies. BlueRayDick: 1 Like |

izzou:Very good point made. Which is why I'm surprised when people praise this government when it comes to anything power supply. How we went from a peak of 12,000MW under Jonathan to a peak of 7,000MW is surprising. Not only did they not increase power supply in the country, they actively reduced it. And will now come here to be talking Siemens this, Siemens that. That's why I call them DEMONS!! Supporters of anything called APC are simply DEMONS! 1 Like |

PETER OBI ON CNN; MY CANDID VIEW Dr Uche Diala I made special effort to attentively watch the Labour Party candidate, Mr Peter Obi's interview live on CNN to the end. I have also objectively watched the recorded video at least 4 times since last night and it has only left a bitter taste in my mouth. First, surprisingly I am less miffed at Mr Peter Obi than I am at the anchor, Zain Asher who is; as she said Nigerian, Igbo and from the South East; even though I know she only throws in those identities whenever she thinks it serves the purpose of her career at CNN or her preferred narrative. That interview clearly showed that Zain is not very current on issues concerning the country she calls her own. Apart from ignorantly or deliberately over exaggerating or misrepresentating the true state of things in Nigeria, she obviously knew her interviewee well and was conscious to feed him red meat to further the narrative she wanted to sell about Nigeria and he; as expected lapped it all up, mindless of the fact that it is the same country he seeks to lead. Agreed that a politician will say anything to help his or her ambition but to essentially throw your nation under the bus on an international media; especially with lies, half truths and exaggerations is as unpatriotic as it is unintelligent. 1 Like |
| Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by OasisX: 2:27pm On Sep 20, 2022 |
...... Whatever I might think about Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, he would have had enough maturity, experience and emotional intelligence to know how to answer those questions without throwing the nation under the bus. Not to talk of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is the master of emotional intelligence himself. Let Me Be Clear: It is okay to rail against the incumbent government, its policies and programs and then state your own policies and programs, what you would do differently and HOW; to draw a constrast. I mean that is what America politicians do; especially when speaking to an international audience. That someone always comes across behaving like a foreigner or a non Nigerian who has not been part of whatever has been of Nigeria; good and bad; trying to present himself as the only saint and a messiah coming from outside of Nigeria and the Nigerian system to salvage Nigeria is as laughable and insulting as it should be a cause for concern to all patriotic and well meaning Nigerians. Talking About Questions ... Even as I lowered the bar on my expectations from the interviewee; having listened to him on sundry issues; including on climate change, ASUU strike, insecurity, infrastructure, power, economy etc, I must confess that he managed to take 'no-show' a notch higher in that interview. First, his penchant for taking the 'third person' approach to questions. For a direct question of 'what would you do'?, he would answer "You do ...", when it should be 'I will do ...'. Then he does not say what he would do and how. |
| Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by OasisX: 2:29pm On Sep 20, 2022 |
..... Fortunately or deliberately, he has been picking interviewers who deliberately won't or can't take him to task. So he gets away with that. Then, listen to his submissions or responses on some of the specific issues that arose in that CNN interview. "You have to deal decisively with the issue of security ...". HOW? "You have to start pulling people out of poverty as quickly as possible ...". HOW? "You have to reduce aggressively cost of governance and then deal with the issue of corruption ...". HOW? "You have to deal decisively with the issue of security ...". HOW? "What is your plan to transform Nigeria from a consumption economy to a production economy"? In view of the fact that Nigeria has being a net importer of petroleum products inspite of being Africa's largest producer of crude oil. He answers: ".. there's no reason why our refineries cannot work .., ... there's no reason why we should not encourage private sector to build refineries and operate them and they are not rocket science. It can be done as quickly as possible. You can use today to decide to remove the fuel subsidy, use the resources to support critical areas of production, from critical infrastructure, to education, supporting investments in refinery which will be like I said done within a shortest possible time". Tell me something I don't know please. |
| Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by OasisX: 2:31pm On Sep 20, 2022 |
..... Wait A Minute ... What Exactly Have We Been Doing In The Last 7 years? The Dangote Refinery is a private refinery being built in Nigeria right before our eyes and we know how it has progressed and the speed; even with maximum commitment and concerted attention being given to it by Alhaji Aliko Dangote, the Dangote Group and the Nigerian government. That is actually the "shortest possible time"; if you are not living in a make believe world like Mr Peter, that is. Mr Peter Obi has access to Aliko Dangote as a fellow millionaire and Nigeria elite (never mind the pretence) that most of us do not have. How difficult is it for him to approach Dangote for a free lecture? Furthermore, in the last seven and half years, Nigeria has more private Modular Refineries in building than at any other time in Nigeria’s history; all with the Buhari government's full support. The licenses for most of those refineries were issued and the fees collected by past administrations but none was built. Indeed the 10,000bpd Duport Modular Refinery in Edo state is being facilitated by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), a FG Agency. Then '"you can decide today to remove fuel subsidy ..". Like seriously? How? Without the appropriate measures in place like completing the ongoing holistic repair of our state owned refineries and the Dangote Refinery as well as the Modular Refineries being built? 1 Like |

..... Not to mention the Petroleum Industry Act which has been signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari to give legal, structural and administrative framework and teeth to all that needs to be in place before sustainably and realistically removing fuel subsidy; bearing the average Nigerian in mind. If serious governance and re-building Nigeria out of the rot it has being in for decades were are as simplistic and kindergarten as Mr Obi keeps presenting, then why do we need a messiah? Anyone would have done it. Mr Peter Obi said, past Nigerian leaders have always been elected "based on ethnicity, religion, my turn, connection or one form of bias or the other, ... or structure which always says structure of criminality ...". Interesting. It is left for objective Nigerians to say which of these that he mentioned that he has not exploited as a Governor and in his current quest to become President of Nigeria. He further says; in his usual apocalyptic and messianic manner that Nigeria is next to "collapse" and postures himself as the only messiah without who Nigeria will be buried. He then dwells on insecurity in and the plight of the North while conveniently forgetting that his South East; including his home state Anambra is even more unsafe and under developed today than many places in the North. Sincerely, all these would have been fantastic if we were looking for a philosopher, an impressionist or a chronicler-in-chief of our woes and not a President and Commander-in-Chief. These are some of the reasons that I remain convinced; even after this un-disappointing CNN outing that the combination of Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima; without any primordial sentiments are better for Nigeria going forward. |
| Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by OasisX: 2:36pm On Sep 20, 2022 |
..... The more I objectively listen to Mr Peter Obi and look at my check list, the more I realise that most of the things he merely talks about without any how-to-dos; security, production, economy, agriculture, power, re-equipping the security agencies, security architecture, education, health, infrastructure, oil and gas etc are already being tackled verifiably by the Buhari administration. So no better persons out of what we have on offer to take those forward than two people who not only know and acknowledge those realities and verified efforts but who equally have the "commitment, integrity, competence, commitment and track record" and I dare add patriotism and belief in Nigeria to build on them going by "what they have done in the past" viz Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima Mustapha. In all, I am glad that the Labour Party candidate pointed out that Nigeria needs a leader that you can "... look at what he has done in the past ...", with "character, competence, capacity and commitment to do the right thing ...". These indeed are the crux of the matter and I urge Nigerians to listen to him and do the needful; devoid of primordial sentiments and emotions. In the end; beyond the semantics and noise, it is our collective lives and future that are at stake in next year's election. |
| Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by OasisX: 2:38pm On Sep 20, 2022 |
..... Finally, back to our sister Zain Asher, I will not blame her or CNN too much for not knowing the exact situation of things with Nigeria today beyond what they see on social media and from fifth columnists. What has the Nigerian government done in recent times to tell our real story and trajectory to the world? How many features have we had on CNN in the last 7 years? Will we send someone like Ajuri Ngelale or Keyamo (forget people like me) to go on CNN and factually counter the many lies, half truths and mischaracterisation of Nigeria bandied in that interview? Even if we have to pay for it? It is a matter of national truth, pride and honor; beyond partisan politics and election. Patriotic Nigerians, the ball remains in our court. We have been served.
