OP
You must be very generous in real life for giving the movie 7/10.

It's a 5/10!

First first , too many failed assassinations..

From the moment I saw Efe jumping up and down with a laptop trying to make a living, I knew he would end up in fraud.

When the guys at the restaurant were talking very loudly, my mind went straight to Gee Boys and my guess was... This guy fit be Efe friend from way back.

The truth is, if you have been watching very good movies for decades, it won't be difficult for you to figure out their next move.

Well, since it's a Nollywood movie, you have to write a script that the audience can follow and understand.

The cinematography was great. Acting was good. But the storyline had a lot of flaws.

5/10

Thank you.

They copied some aspects of the movie from scarface.

The headline and the content are contradictory.

How did an appreciation in the official market captured as depreciation in the headline?

Nigeria can change and becomes heaven on earth if Nigerians can have a change mindset at our own little corners that we found ourselves,we always complain our leaders have failed us, yes that is true but did these leaders fall from heaven, they rose up to leadership from among us, today's leaders are yesterday's followers.

What I discovered is that most Nigerians are bitter against corruption because they not the one enjoying or perpetrating the corruption. 90% of Nigeria population are potential thieves just waiting for the opportunity.

No angel will fall from heaven to come and change us. An immigration or custom officers is not ready to do his or her duty faithfully without asking for gratification, but when he or she gets to a licencing office to collect license for his vehicle,he will be expecting the licence officers to do their duty truthfully, a licence officers that collect bribe before rendering his duty will be expecting a faithful attendance from nurses and doctors when he has malaria and went to the hospital, on and on like that. We forgot what goes around will surely comes around.

God bless you.

What we do to ourselves as followers is worse than what the so-called leaders do to us.

If we all do right by others and be diligent and honest in our small domain of authority, the multiplier effect will show almost immediately. And that also makes it impossible for bad leaders to emerge.

We need self accountability first, before demanding it from others.

Kobicove:
If you don't build a flyover or bridge no one will agree you brought any meaningful development while you were governor

It shows a complete lack of proper thinking at that level. Almost all state governors are building flyovers. I want to assume it is also a safer options to embezzle funds, because there are definitely others ways to improve the traffic situation, if that is the objective.

The current Kwara state governor built a second flyover less than 400mtrs to an existing one. When all that is needed is to demolish the big roundabout at the spot and make the road wider.

What is the difference between Ido-osun and Ede?

Less than 5Km distance.

Lol. You will think there is a major demarcation between the two based on online comments.

How does Airtel have a higher market capitalization when MTN has the most customers and coverage?

Airtel is listed on NGX as Airtel Africa. The value of the shares is reflective of the combined value of their operations on the African continent.

MTN is valued based on MTN Nigeria.

Even POS boot you don't have, you are disagreeing with DANGOTE

I think there is an unspoken reason why the FG, through NNPC, has taken two steps recently as it concerns energy crisis.

One is making NNPCL LIMITED the sole buyer of petroleum products from DR.
Secondly, is the recent covert hike in the price of PMS.
I thought over this and came to the conclusion that, perhaps the FG is trying to withdraw subsidy payment on gasoline or at least reduce it to a sustainable level.
It has become imperatives to do this because, the FG can longer bear the burden of subsidy.
Coming to think of it, the landing cost of petrol currently is around N1200/L. Comparatively, DR. should ideally sell lower than this price after taking into the cognisance, the lower cost of production since its an indigenous company. I believe, in which ever perspective one decides to examine this, the truth is, the cost of production here is inveriably lower than it should be for foreign companies for a number of reasons;
One is the fact that, raw material are sourced in naira, the cost of shipment and duties on crude is already out of the way, and other related wavers.

Hence, in order to eliminate subsidy or at least reduce it to the minimum, the federal government had to prepare the market and the minds of the citizens by arbitrarily jacking up the price through NNPC to N897/L. At this rate, the price is almost close to or exactly what should be ideal for D.R product and there would be little or no need for subsidy expenditure.
This is what I think is the unspoken truth that FG has not been bold enough to tell Nigerians, since they have not been very open in their subsidy payment ab initio.

God bless you!!!

You are the only one that was able to put it all together in a sensible way without getting emotional. And you are spot on!

helinues:
Meaning agriculture have been declining hence the high rise of prices of food items .

Why should things we don't import like yams, garri be selling at ridiculous prices?

It may also mean, as the GDP grew across that period, the rate of growth of others eg IT and telecoms , is much more faster than agriculture.

It may necessarily not be declining but growing at a very slow pace.

shoodboi2:
Most marketers buy 33000 liters at once. One million liters would be over one billion naira.

Who is this guy looking to sell to? Cos I don't think he's selling to Nigerian marketers. Unless maybe major marketers.

But those ones will only turn around to sell to independent marketers who buy 33000 liters at once.

Middle man things 😂

NIPCO
BOVAS
MAJOR OIL

To name a few can do a million litres.

firearcher:
Its simple. They had no incentive to own such ships before. But now they do. Time for the companies to shore up their capital base and capacity.

Nigeria will be great.

At last, someone that read and understood.

God bless you.

Omoluabi16:
I really have a problem with those of you who toe this line of thinking. I'm sure you support a hike in university fees? You need to understand it's a two way thing. The abroad taxes some of una dey eye, they have at least a minimum acceptable standard of living. Do we have any in Nigeria?

Is train the only means of movement along that route?

You guys like quoting developed nations but are not willing to pay for the same quality of service like they do.

Why slash prices from day one? Subsidizing train transport again. There is nothing like taxes here. If the T-fare has been subsidized, it is just a matter of time before operations grind to a halt.

Unless you can prove the initial prices released were exploitative, it is a wrong move.

Yes I support a hike in university fees. We cannot call our universities trash, when what we pay as fees is also trash. We also need to pick one.

Nigerian airways
Nigerian railways
Nigerian refineries ..

All were ruined due to action like this by the government. Let customers pay the right prices so the infrastructure can be maintained and service level retained. Unless the prices were exploitative before, this move will back fire.

Game over!

blacksam01:
me too i enganged him ooo...told my bannker friends..annd we all didn't bliv it

na wa oo..ppl of high places dey nairaland oo

A lot of people do not know that nairaland has high caliber people using this anonymous forum.

I figured this out several years ago.

Just read the posts with an open mind and you will figure out those putting out privileged information.

ModCaller:
You're comparing different categories of Internet service providers.

MTN, GLO, AIRTEL, etc are mobile internet service providers.

Starling is a broadband internet service provider. You can't use starlink with your phone except through WiFi. The equipment are not portable. Only good for home and office use.

They are completely different niches. MTN, GLO, Airtel, etc will ALWAYS have their place.

You are the only one that understands the difference in market niches.

Peeps are commenting as if they will be carrying the satellite around. MTN an co are predominantly playing in the mobile space. And the larger percentage of internet access is on mobiles.

I have a headache reading this.

Nigerian relationships is not complete without the question "Have you eaten" from the ladies..

IbeOkehie:
The world market price of petrol for any given day can be found here

https://www.investing.com/commodities/gasoline-rbob

That's all there is to it. That's the price at which NNPC can buy it anywhere in the world.

Right now, at this moment, the price of a gallon of petrol is $2.30.

4 litres = 1 gallon, so one litter price ~ $0.60

Convert to naira using CBN rate to get ~ 275.

Convert to naira using free market rate ~ 460.

So the price of fuel in Nigeria without fuel subsidy should be above ₦275.

The price without forex subsidy should be ₦460.

There's no mystery to this. The info is freely available. Anyone can call the sales office of any refinery in North America, Asia or Europe and this is the price that will be quoted.

This is the price at which Dangote must also sell or his refinery will shut down. The only way he can sell for less is if the government pays him a subsidy. Are Nigerians ready for the Nigerian government to pay Dangote ₦2 trillion per year to supply fuel for Nigerians?

If Nigerians want their country to prosper, then all subsidies must go. Aside health and elementary education, government should get out of the market. Allow Nigerians to produce, buy and sell whatever they want to or from any country or any person at their freely chosen price.

Yes Nigerians will suffer but that is how other people suffered to make their countries better. Everything isn't about today, think about 20 years from now.

It's OK too if Nigerians don't want to suffer, it's very understandable.

Just know the choices available are set and unavoidable.

Thanks.

God bless you!

Facts backed up with verifiable evidence.

biodunid:
10 states contribute 116.8% of the total and people don't even see how ridiculous the data is but are fighting for bragging rights?

Good bless you! The percentages didn’t add up. But I didn’t want to comment.

I read all posts until you pointed it out.

People are basically discussing inaccurate data.

Are other states not featured doing zero percent ?

How did a 2.3Km road connect 42 communities?

Fake news. I witnessed it. Nothing like gun shots. Police men stopped a bus they had interest in while others looked on for like 3 minutes.

Nothing like kidnapping or gun shots.

If the state capital is not in close proximity to Lagos or Abuja and there are no local flights going there daily, then it may not be as developed as you assume.

Any state capital local airlines find worthy of flying into daily gives you and indication the level of development and Comercial activities there.

A breath of fresh air!

Kudos to the OP.

texazzpete:
All the people claiming this is misplace priorities, are you people normal?

The more options in the market, the better for you. Why are some Nigerians actively trying to hold this country back?

5G is even long overdue sef.

Everyone now thinks criticizing everything about Nigeria makes them woke. It’s like a fad now

Johnrake69:
Increase will see a sharp decline of activities on their respective network

SMS is no more relevant today. I wonder why they want to increase the fee.

-Bank Alerts
-Messages from your products or service providers you patronize on your birthday or to inform you of modifications etc
-Bulk notifications etc

Are still very much relevant

anorexicmuster:
Reading the comments, there seems to be a lot of grumbling and anger over the government's decision....to have a national database.

The funny thing is that if we didn't have a database, these same people would be still grumbling and complaining that Nigeria is not among the advanced nations of the world....

And the funny thing is that back in the day a lot of people were backing the NIN thing because it would somehow show 'the true population of the country.

There is nothing wrong with having a NIN. People should go out and get a NIN if we don't have one. The government should extend the deadline and provide more opportunities for people to register...and maybe make it possible to register kids at birth....

Saying this does not mean I support or like Buhari. But we have had this NIN issue on our head for over 40 years....and several failures. Time we made sure this current effort...ongoing since 2013, works.

At last someone that gets it.

Complaining and lamenting now seems to be the new cool.

NIN is very important if we get it right.

1Sharon:
By your logic, being straight isn't natural either, because straight men deliberately target little girls too.

Being straight and gay should never be up for debate. They are not the same because there is a reason for differentiation of the male and female anatomy.

Since we are the woke generation where everything can be questioned, then I agree with you.

If a male child molestation by a male and female child molestation by a male are exactly the same , then no issue.

I think the people in USA are right to say no one should impose a sex on a baby anymore until they are old enough to decide.

How am I sure I am male sef ?

I am agreeing with you .. you are right , I am wrong . Bye

Constantine10:
you don't have the stats because you are a lying homophobic idiot, most pedophile are heterosexual like R Kelly who abuse boys because of the power he gives them.

You see, some of think you are intelligent but you are not.

Did I call you names in any of my post ?

If you have an iota of sense in holding intelligent discuss, you will not results to insults

I do not believe anyone is naturally born gay, if you have a superior argument, your responsibility is to state your superior argument not result to name calling.

I am 100% sure if this were to be a real life convo, I will not be talking to an unrefined fellow like you..

You won’t even have the opportunity… but we are online so anything goes ..

Obi1kenobi:
You may not have stats to back something up - yet you just made the claim anyway. How many gay people have you met and how many of them who you have met "target young boys"?

if you are not gay, there is no need to engage you further.

I will only respond to gay people going forward.
