All I see is the laying of the background for justifying the shocking price Dangote would put out.
I can envisage what it will be:price to distributors at at least 700,retail price around 800-900.When he is asked,he says they have to access a part of the crude abroad which they pay in dollars,they point to you the exchange rate presently,thus they justify their shocking price.
For those now saying if Dangote price is 800,people would be buying from fuel stations that sell at 600-650;I have a shocker for you.
Importers would tell you they can't sell at 650,even anything less than the Dangote price because their is no longer subsidy and they too have been buying at high prices and since Dangote came on board,goverment no longer sells dollar to them at the official market rate.
Nigerians gear up,fuel price will soon increase to 850-900,you would cry and murmur a bit,Ajaero will issue empty threats and soon the price becomes accepted and things go on.

What is Saidu still doing in this match.
Cross he can't,simple pass he can't give

I don't know why Seidu is starting games o!

Wait till his wife and immediate caucus start whispering things to his ears.
After some months he would give one excuse for dropping some of the Bello list of commissioners,then wahala starts.
The fact is that you must be weak and not intellectually sound as a governor to be totally controlled by your predecessor.

Sceptical of the numbers though.
30 gunmen killed,50 captured and no army casualty.
Unless you are bombing people from the air or long range missiles,no army can kill up to 30 and capture 50 in a shoot out without sustaining casualties.Even the Israelis cannot.
I see propaganda to show the government the security forces are working.Hope I am wrong though and the army can put out pictorial evidence of this great feat.

What is there in this Mangu that is so lucrative that the insurgents are desperate to take hold of?
Is there gold,precious metals or even diamonds in that land to be mined?

I suspected as much that portable orchestrated that assault and pre programmed recording of the events so that he can quickly post to the social media and curry favour from the undiscerning audience.
How can people not just enter your house but into your bedroom to fight and assault you and your boys and family staying with you just looked on?
Cheap publicity he sought

Gay act is wrong culturally and by our religious backgrounds.
It's even abhorrent by the nature of it.
But the hypocrisy here is that those people that you see condemning it openly may be doing or encouraging it behind closed doors.
I would never trust any Northerner that preaches against homosexuality,these are the most number of homosexuals and drug sniffers(both male and female) in Nigeria.
So any Northerner preaching against it is pure hypocrisy

Illiterate op that doesn't know difference between a kiss and a friendly peck.
Even went ahead to add deep on top.

Pastor whey dey lie.
So how was his office funded for the 5years kyari refused to release funds?From Adesina's pocket and he didn't have aides in his office for the 5 years?
If he did who later approved it?

Dimaya:
sad, unfortunately, many youths now believe that kidnapping, yahoo-yahoo, human trafficking and Pr0stituti0n is the way to succeed.

Don't believe me? You can listen for yourself to several young people almost-confessing.

May God deliver us

Oga these things are evil and abhorrent but the goverment too has a blame.For 8 fu cking years this country has been mismanaged to the point of running it to the ground.
Turnaround you everyone now has a relation or someone they know that is either into yahoo yahoo or runs as a girl.You know inside of you these things are wrong,but outwardly you don't voice out against it because " you understand" why they are into it.
Many people now wish their daughters would befriend a yahoo guy or would succeeded in their yahoo biz.That is the level these politicians have sunk this country.
With dollar at 1400 and rapidly declining who wouldn't want to share in the windfall that yahoo brings or to share in the dollars the thieves in Abuja and other government houses are sharing to endowed girls.
The truth is bitter but we must all face the reality that once lives,murder and kidnapping are not involved,many Nigerians now tolerate and sometimes even encourage some of these vices as a way to make ends meet!

The year is still too early

eepeepook:
1. Fake story.

As in.
Even if we assume for discussion purposes that's it's true,does it mean strippers don't marry?
What of the guy that said he slept with her in a party?What can be more bestial that a fellow man watching his fellow man digging another woman at the same time.Before you know it,they would start touching themselves.
He doesn't see anything wrong in having party with a single lady,but finds it wrong for her to do it.
Hypocrisy!

Uwazie0:
OMG. This[b] is just about £107[/b]. That is what a lecturer is being paid per month. Terrible

That is why baba blabulu should have set up an emergency economic management team to tackle the alarming slide of the naira.
If not tackled it means the only remedy would be for government to increase minimum wage and salaries across board such that this kind of lecturer would be earning at least $500 in its naira equivalent which should be going to ₦1m before this year runs out.
But the problem with this drastic salary rise is that it will ironically cause further hyperinflation and the private sector won't be able to pay causing collapse of the economy.
This man just like we were scammed about Buhari(that he is not corrupt and is top notch in security) is also another scam in the economy they told people he was too notch in.
People are dying and crying inside because the economy is in ruins,yet nothing is being done!
Businesses are crumbling and some people you see going to their businesses is just that staying at home may lead to depression and suicidal thoughts,but they are just sustaining lossess with no hope of a headway in sight.
What a calamitous mess!

Skyfornia:
This harsh economy is something else...e be like dem send Tinuubu to come destrôy this country[b]. And the fact that everybody is calm and behaving like all is well[/b] is truly surprising. Tinuubu must be a strong man..I fear who no fear him.

Baba,that is the most fearful,not even surprising thing.
Dollar is almost 1500 from the 600 he met it.
Transport cost public and private if u are driving your car(even worse for private owners now) has gone haywire.
Inflation is beyond the roof causing houserents,school fees,cost of providing even 1 meal a day a herculian task and yet nobody seems bordered,even online,it's just murmurs!
That's why people ask,"who do us like this"?
This is a very crazy country to live in at this point.Even Japa now has become unaffordable for many,yet nobody is much as voicing out frustration.

Yankiss:
You would understand Reno's assertion if you go to other countries and try their networks. You could literally speak for hours on the phone in some countries with little or nothing as charge. Try it in Nigeria.

And you believe it?
No wonder someone can come to Nigeria say anything,no matter how outlandish and people would believe.
So if people can make calls for hours,how does the network make money?
Don't confuse free calls at some hours of the day or weekend or a bundle plan where you pay a fixed amount then can make calls unlimited,to networks not charging for calls.

Rubbish!
MTN has contributed more to the GDP growth many of those countries have enjoyed than the harm they have caused.
If you are doing a study,assuming you know what a proper study is,you analyse the benefits to the economy and the damage to the economy and then arrive at an objective conclusion.
The greatest GDP multiplier of most African countries has been the telecommunications sector.
So after making money,you don't want MTN to take back some of its profit to its home country?
It's like telling Nigerians abroad that they should spend their salaries only abroad and not remit any to Nigeria.
What Omokri has done is what many so called Nigerian studies have done,they have an already prepared answer in their minds then find those things that meet with the answer.
How much foreign dollars has MTN invested in infrastructure?Several millions,if not billions in each African country they operate.
What has been the trickle down effect of the telecommunications sector on the economy:several trillions in the case of Nigeria.
So it's the $500m-$1b they are taking out that would then cripple the economy?Stu pidity.
The greatest cause of the chronic underdevelopment of these countries is gross mismanagement and corruption,Q.E.D.

If it was Peterside you would also see the same civil servants jubilating.
Even if the appeal court had mysteriously said Wike that had completed his tenure and didn't contest the election,was the winner,people would still jubilate.
It's the nature of the Nigerian public to jubilate because it's all either for political gain or eye service to curry favour of the winner.

Curious how they quickly mentioned that Chinasa's name but the police are silent on the name of this apprehended suspect.
Is he deaf and dumb that he couldn't mention his name or the police deliberately with held it?

Lawyer should be demanding an autopsy first.
The neck signs look suspicious but that's why autopsy report is demanded,some things you see with the naked eye may not be what it looks on thorough professional examination by a pathologist

Vmoukam:
Hello guys,

So after the widely publicised news about the launch of the "effective and mind blowing" new online platform for passport application, I decided for a first time to try a Nigerian government online platform.

On the 9th of January, I decided to apply for my passport renewal on the platform. Everything went nicely and payment was seamless. The problem began when I wanted to book appointment. On booking appointment, a popup that shows "invalid date" keep popping up. For 2 days, no solution to this issue. So I had to visit the passport office in Ikorodu and later Ikoyi branch. Turned out that it was a general problem and the crowd at Ikoyi for the same problem is another story for another day

4 days later, I was later able to book appointment. On the day of appointment, I arrived to meet lots of people already waiting. Now this is the observation:

1. The people that applied on the old online passport platform had no issue and went ahead with capturing (yes, we already had a former online platform for application that would eventually turn out to be more efficient than this new platform based on experience, but was phased out by Tunji Ojo on launch of the new one).

2. The immigration officers acted as if they are angry with people for applying online. They would be like "Baba, no disturb us, shey u applied online, go back online, online will attend to you". One blatantly told me that my paid money is gone and free gift to government. That I will eventually apply physically when I am tired. Meanwhile they are charging 55,000 naira for 32 pages passport (something that is 35,000 naira online) while someone I met said he paid as high as 105,000 for 10 years 64 pages passport (unverified information as he didn't show me evidence. My best friend applied for 80,000 naira for his and turned out to 32 pages though).

3. The people that applied physically or through agents had no issue with capturing

4. Then everybody that applied from the day the new platform was launched could not capture. We were told that our application was not found. Apparently it have not been approved. Unlike the former online application platform that does instant approval after payment approval, the new one need to be approved by the Minister's office which I know is a clumsy excuse. So we ended up going back while some officers were charging 5,000 naira with promise to help find solution.

Now my question is, why phase out the old platform that was effective to start a new one that is as ineffective as physical application if not worse. Brothers and sisters, 10 days after application, I am yet to my application approved, same as other people I got their contacts. No solution in sight and no updates and the contacts for immigration office never connects. Best it would do is ring and noone picks.

No defamation to Tunji Ojo but on this new online application, it was just unnecessary, and just another means to corner funds. Just like a governor starting new projects and leaving that of the predecessors. Why didn't he even bother to upgrade the old platform if it was as effective as needed?

Before you start abusing me, the new platform is passport[dot]immigration[dot]com[dot]Ng while the old one was passportintl[dot]immigration[dot]com[dot]ng and have the apply/signup button now hidden

It's well. So I only have to wait endlessly or go back to the office and pay new money for a new renewal application. But the issue is that double applications won't work since the passport is linked to one NIN and passport number.

No o,Ojo is the best performing minister and it's those that are frustrated that he has blocked avenue for their corrupt practice that are complaining about the new passport process and want him out-according to word on the street.
I will always say it and insist,any person in Nigeria that has a fraudulent past or issue(Ojo has them in his days as nass member) cannot come and run a corrupt free process or if he/she has intention to improve a process,it can only be because it would benefit him/her or cronies financially.

Don't like commenting on fabricated stories that people want to pass as true life stories.
It's worse on X because people fabricate all manner of lies to gain clicks and see if they can share from Elon Musk money.

LegendHero:
Premium time don kolomental.

This same Sanwoolu that tweeted about his Grenada trip with the PM or another one? Where is the secret?

Commonsense should tell you that was an amateurish and childish attempt at cover up.
So Sanwo Olu travelled to Grenada to present blue rail plan to Grenada,as in Lagos has the patent for the construction or its Lagos engineers that constructed it or Lagos has the same topography Grenada has?
You don't need to use all your 6 commonsense to know the visit to the PM was a childish ruse.

duduade:
Be sure spiritually before you get entangled with your entire partner

Rubbish.
Which marriage does not have challenges?
That he confronted his marriage issues head-on and it spilled to the public and a divorce does it make him and the marriage a failed union?
Your pastors and counsellors that appear holy outside,go into their marriages,they are living in deep pain and bondage but due to the fear and shame of what people would say,they live and continue suffering in their own marriages.
Go and marry your own and see if you would not have your own issues.

accordadoga21:
Hehehe
Dey pretend as if you don't know

So the people that build the houses are into drugs?
Majority of those houses are built by businessmen or those abroad.
An Ibo spare parts or chemicals dealer for example with a single shop can make a single sale that can fetch him 500k.Imagine making just 5 of such in a month,in a year you are looking at ₦30m and this is for someone with just a shop but has been lucky in business.
Talkless those with multiple shops and that do importation.
Granted there maybe 1 or 2 into shady deals,but the vast majority is just pure biz acumen,hardwork and that "competition" in hometowns,so they work extra hard and go the extra mile to meet up with that goal

elobyobi:
Greetings from outside Nigeria.
Las las I finally japa
It is not all that I thought it would be. I am sad and depressed more often than I ever was in Nigeria.
But at least I have 24 hours light, good roads, better healthcare for myself and my son. And I'm actually making headway in terms of career progression.
You win some, you lose some. C'est la vie

Please can you shed more light on why the depression and also how you achieved your japa and in which field(ie which particular health field).

Which kind of stupid headline is this!
Something is just being prepared to start being constructed and the headline is already saying built,as if it's already built!!
Wonder if some of the mods went to proper schools.

Dynamicboss:
Good for naira. Recall that fuel importation requires forex (USD, Euro, etc.) to purchase

Atleast some pressure will be off the local currency

There is nothing good about the report because if you read the entire story you would realise the marketers are also not sure yet the currency it would be sold in.

Uyomiya:
Calf .

I know what I saw and I know what Fulani people are doing here in Delta state.

Your mad prophet does not drink alcohol but rapes little girls Akuya

See your myopic life?So because someone sees the f oolishness in your post,that person is now a Fulani or Moslem?
Leave that your narrow mindset about life and people and move out to see that that your town councillor,chairman,state assembly man or governor have done more harm to you and your locality than the average non indigene can do in 2 generations.
Coward and you couldn't confront them or call other people to join you to confront them or go to the police at least.
It's on nairaland you are exhibiting power.
To show how cowardly you are,you don't even have the guts to mention the exact town or village this thing happened,just mentioned Delta state.
Tomorrow you be beating your chest on how strong your people are.

Ance4Liverpool:
Obara jesus, did i hear more than 70 girls have been slaughtered hhmmm hausa boys get mind ooo

Don't mind bloggers with their lies.
This "news" is being spread on many sm platforms but no link showing it emanated from the police and it's not on any mainstream media.
They have turned a serious matter of ritual killings to something to cast their lying, mischievous blogs on.70 girls,no picture of the guys,just a random pics from a roof top.
Is that how Nigeria police hold a news conference or parade suspects.
Some bloggers are sometimes as devilish as some of these acts themselves because they can lie against an individual and get that person killed or image or business tarnished for life.
