The liberal left has long overstayed its welcome, outlived its usefulness, and become a menace to society.

adebayo201:
I don't understand this part.

Don't mind that bush fellow he is trying to say that these are commercial nerve centers where goods are sold wholesale to retailers who then sell elsewhere.

MasterJayJay:
Busy ko babablu ni. And you are replying me.

Oya clap of yourself for deceiving your shadow.

It takes just 2 minutes to type a basic reply sir. When you find something meaningful to do with your time you will understand.

MasterJayJay:
What have you said? Nothing! Bring your own context na, or your brain no fit do am?

Babablu bulabu.

I'm busy some of us actually contribute to the economy. But maybe when I have some time later.

MasterJayJay:
Hush!! Threats were obvious in the words used by Felix Morka, unless you choose to be blind to it.

Even AI can spot the threat.

You excluded the beginning of the conversation where the context was specified, so as to force the poor AI to say what you want to hear. What a bunch of buffoons.

The part I aways wonder is why? Who are you fooling? Now that you have outsourced your brain to AI what next? Is Obi the president now?

Instead of engaging constructively, you waste time trying to score points. Oya na, how many points you done score?

tiwasiaife:
Felix Morgan says " he has crossed the line, whatever he sees he should take it"
Bola Ige killers went away
Harry Marsha killers went away.
Nothing should happen to Peter Obi.
Morka Tinubu criticized GEJ and no one was threatened.
Allow opposition to thrive.
Republicans criticized Democrats and no one, I repeat no one ever threatened anyone in America.

You guys just sound so silly

You can clearly read that the context was whether he, Morka, was criticizing Obi unfairly, and the "whatever he sees he should take it" refers obviously to the criticism.


Who is Felix Morgan anyway? Lol.

dumahi:
Oga, Tinubu hasn't done anything to show that he's ready to place Nigeria on a new trajectory. See how much he spends on jet. So, don't celebrate your chicks before they hatch lest you be ashamed when they fail to hatch.

That's not true. Whether you like Tinubu or not, if he is successful with the things he is trying to do, Nigeria will be a vastly different place whenever the next president takes over. I understand that the masses may be more concerned with their immediate needs, but the changes he is working on are deep structural issues that can fundamentally change the dynamics of the country:

1. Tax reform
2. State police
3. Local government autonomy
4. Diversification with expanding exploitation of non-oil minerals
5. Significant push on security.
6. Eradication of subsidies (partly Buhari's legacy)
7. Liberalisation of electricty management (partly Buhari's legacy)
8. Eradication of domestic use of usd

These measures will create a more equitable federal structure that empowers the States and local governments to make governance local, and eradicate the dependency on the federal government that leads to so much corruption, patronage and general inefficiency.

OkCornel:
Lol, coming from the same Tinubu who didn’t mind being a third term governor in Lagos.

How rich 😂

When was this?

Urheadmaster:





Suddenly The military 🪖 done start the dog and pussycat dance in Zamfara State because of the same bandits’ kingpin Bello Turji they claimed to have eliminated several times.

Where have they ever claimed to have eliminated Bello Turji?

Who is after him? You guys are your delusions!

Pentagon007:
The two incidents are not similar.
The reason for the seizure in Lagos port is contained in the Headline - Expired Drugs

Meaning they were not contraband, but rather drugs that go expired.

The fact that a necessary permit was not obtained before the importation of something does not make the product a contraband.

I just begged you to behave intellgiently but you refused. Is it intellgient to summarise the content of an article from its headline??

This is the substance of the same article:

The Nigeria Customs Service, Apapa Area Command said it intercepted a total of 12 containers of expired and controlled pharmaceutical products worth N1.8bn.

In a statement on Thursday, the Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, disclosed this while displaying some of the seized contraband at the command in Apapa, Lagos.

Adeniyi stated that if the drugs were allowed to exit the ports, it would undermine the security of the nation by influencing the behavior of individuals involved in criminal activities often fueled by illicit drugs such as tramadol.

“I am here to present seizures made by our officers at the Apapa Port Command, which comprise expired and controlled pharmaceutical products with a DPV of N1.8bn,” Adeniyi said.



Do you see the word, contraband, that is befuddling you so terribly? Do you understand that there are controlled drugs--drugs that are legal but must be imported following strict protocols for obvious reasons? Do you understand that pharmaceuticals is a strictly regulated industry and importers must obtain a plethora of permits and licenses?

Pentagon007:
This is what the word contraband means. So in this context, I don't see how the Diclofenac happens to be categorized as a contraband whereas it is bought and sold everyday.

The only explanation that may sound logical, is if the medicals were seized because they were imported through a seaport that the government did not designate for importation of the said drugs.

I just asked you if the importers obtained the necessary permits and licenses. Did they?

This is a similar seizure made in Lagos:

Does that mean Lagos port is not designated for import of the said drugs? Let's behave intelligently please.

ChatGPT is not reliable? That's is advanced AI with over 155 iq level connected to the Internet...

https://dailytrust.com/realignment-of-lagos-calabar-highway-sparks-outrage-after-demolitions/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

If you do SEO and you don't know that ChatGPT is not reliable when it comes to facts then you are a great danger to your clients!

The most significant disadvantage of ChatGPT is that the information it compiles is not always accurate. This drawback is especially detrimental in academic publishing; after all, progress depends on sharing appropriate information. Presenting incorrect data in a scientific setting carries a great risk of harm. For example, research influences how personal and community health concerns are treated and managed.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10028016/


The debate is useless at this point as you have shown a willingness to manipulate data and misrepresent reports even though I have shown you even from your own sources that the reversion concerns only kilometres 16 - 25.

Why you persist with the lie is a mystery.

GigFc:
Them surpassing their revenue target is not necessarily a good thing. The high cost of import duties that accounts for the increase in revenue borne by importers, will simply be passed on to the consumers. This is the sad reality, the consumers are everyday Nigerians.

What they are simply telling you is that the port saw increased activity not increased fees.

Ebubu6:
I don't understand, have Codeine, Diclofenac and Tramadol been banned from importation ?
Are these drugs not prescribed in Hospitals ?

Pentagon007:
In other words, are you saying that Medicals are not allowed to be imported through the Eastern Seaports?

Because i don't really understand what makes them Contraband .

The word contraband means when an item is not allowed to be in a country. But we all know that Diclofenac and others are on Pharmacy shelves. Please if you can , enlighten me more on this

Did the importers obtain the necessary licenses, permits, and approvals to import such? If they didn't, those goods are contraband. It's that simple.

sagitariusbaby:
Where is the evidence? We all are tired if these stale news and rhetorics. This nonsense must stop this year

You don't live in Katsina but you are confident you know more about what is happening in Katsina than the governor of Katsina. Has any resident of Katsina come out to claim it is a lie? That is enough evidence.

greypencils:
Direct your grievance to Dave Umahi, his fellow tribesman who effected the demolition. I don't see people bashing him, only Tinubu & SanwoOlu. Plenty hypocrites here skipping his name in the blame game.

Don't be misled by that guy. The reversion is only a partial reversion along 9 km of the road.

fastseo:
I have summarised it for u.

This is in fact, the complete truth:

The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has said that the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway will revert to the gazetted alignment between kilometres 16 and 25 to save submarine cables.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/697705-why-lagos-calabar-highway-reverted-to-gazetted-route-works-minister.html?tztc=1

So, is it not clear? I hope you are not being mischevious.

fastseo:
I have summarised it for u.

You used ChatGPT which you should know is not a reliable tool when it comes to facts. You also didn't share the prompt you used, and of course prompts can be used to manipulate output. What you can do, instead, if you don't mind, is kindly click on the Premium Times source highlighted in the summary and share that here. From what I can see from direct sources, there is no alteration to the Landmark portion of the road.

fastseo:
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/697705-why-lagos-calabar-highway-reverted-to-gazetted-route-works-minister.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Thanks. But the diversion here concerns Okun Ajah community alone not the entire road. Meaning the road will still pass through the reclaimed Landmark beach and revert to the previous route only when it comes to the Okun Ajah portion of the road.

fastseo:
Well read news again. The road never passed that area again. The government said marine cables in sea will be affected.

That's why we are angry why destroy without consultation why not stick to d original plan why change suddenly then after destroying u reverted

Please share a source for this for reference purposes

Macphenson:
story for the gods. They should do the covert op on the north let us check something.

It was gathered that scores of bandits were killed in Niger State barely 48 hours before Christmas

Another source, who spoke in a similar vein, noted: “Bandits, who had gathered at Uregi Village in Rafi LGA, gathered for a meeting, were dealt devastating blows by DSS operatives, who had kept them under surveillance.

“The offensive was the second major outing by the DSS against bandits terrorising residents of the state in less than a week, having earlier neutralized three bandits in Dogon Dawa, Mairiga LGA of the state.

“Some three weeks ago, specifically in the Janyau Fulani Area of Gusau, Gusau-Kaura Namoda Road, in Zamfara State, as well as in Dalori quarters, Maiduguri, Borno State, DSS operatives apprehended notorious bandits terrorising parts of the Northeast and Northwest.”

These are both in the same short write up above so one really wonders how your mind works.

sulaak:
Atiku was the chairman of the National Council on Privatization. His record was shocking and needed investigation; hence, due process should have been investigating the entire privatisation process under Atiku's tenure. And identifying new means of privatisation.

And the new method was to break the law and unilaterally hijack a process laid down by law?? lol.

sulaak:
Falana is a typical noise market with self-interest. Falana is already in court regarding the Sunrise vs Nigeria Mambila Dam arbitration, and it seems like his clients are presently losing the case following OBJ testimony. Falana was a presenter during the Fuel removal debate that spoke for the retention of Fuel subsidies in 2012.

Atiku was the chairman of the National Council on Privatization, Atiku solved off Ajaokuta, Delta Steel, to the Indians; he sold the ALSCON to the Russians and finally, Atiku sold the paper mills to companies that turned them into import-dependent agencies.

At least we know that Dangote is an astute business that has transformed three industries: Agric: tomatoes, Cement and PMS. Had Atiku been responsible for selling the refineries, they would have ended up where they are today- scrap.





https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2024/03/03/breaking-the-stalemate-over-mambilla-power-project/

I don't see what all you posted has to do with anything. Falana says the process was cancelled because it did not follow the legal due process. Is that true or false? What does Falana's personality or Atiku's corruption have to do with this?

Emeskhalifa:
It's good thing that Nigeria's law does not support its citizens from bearing arms. With the shege we are currently receiving in the hands of these people, gun violence wey for dey dis country for triple that of America.

America own for be child's play

You read that there was a disease that affected the crops...so which people are you talking about? What a mindless comment.

Validated:
Stop day-dreaming, not possible, otherwise I will start exporting Dangote gasoline to US/Canada for $1 (N1650) per litre

If you had what it takes to get the license you would not be here commenting rubbish on Nairaland.

JASONjnr:
Till tomorrow, the oil sector is the most corrupt and dubious and scandalous organisation that's making this country a fantastically corrupt country.

The best would've been privatisation of the refineries and having Atikubas the head of the NCP after Obasanjo must have realised the snake in him would've been a disaster.

The shares sold to Blusters was in the federal coffer so Falanas should not come here to defend a corrupt Atiku.

Falana did not defend or attack anyone. He just gave you facts and context. Use your head and reason like a living being!

gidgiddy:
That question is what people like me want you "British colonial made Nigerians" to allow the Igbo nation to answer in a referendum

But of course you "British colonial made Nigerians" won't allow it, you already know what the answer will be

Anything to keep the long failed British colonial contraption called Nigeria going

When the Biafrans ask for a referendum we can test this theory. For now you are a most unserious bunch of people.

donmixc:
helinus is coming to attack and write incoherently as usual

Why are you shaking?

The release says load shedding and interruptions in power but the headline says a two-week blackout. Are the mods here educated at all??

Ojuntana:
Is it in the renewed hope manifesto

Meanwhile from this your link, these are other promises listed. Show us whether they are audio or not

Ramp up oil production in six months
Fuel subsidy to be phased out
New loans only for projects that are self-generating
End insecurity
Create anti-terrorist battalion
Better equipment for the military

I never said it was in the manifesto. That was a strawman you created for yourself. Most of your questions are ridiculous as the answers are a single google search away.

1. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/nigeria-lifts-oil-production-18-mln-barrels-per-day-2024-11-14/
2. The answer is obvious
3. Not yet
4. Significant progress is being made. Fulani herdsmen attacks were drastically reduced, while the military has significantly ramped up th fight against bandits and ISWAP resulting in significant victories.

The state of your lack of awareness of these basic issues is shocking. Frankly, you lack the legitimacy to comment on these issues.
