The main reason they quickly implemented this policy is to favor the up coming refinery.
There was nowhere the new refinery would break even at the old pricing.
Now they can comfortably enter the market at a price that is profitable.
It has always been like that with all their other products. Government backed policies is what they ride to Forbes .

ppogba:
1. He has resumed duty.

2. If not today, any day he announces it, be it june or august, the same scenario will play out.

Nigerians, we ALL are the same. Inflicting pain on others for personal gain.

This is not true. Effective Policy implementation is related to communication. Stakeholders consultations would have offered the appropriate approach, and an implementation strategy developed thereafter.
Nigeria economy is not only unstable but fragile and the slightest unguarded utterance could send the wrong signals with negative impact on the life of the people.
Ask yourself, why didn’t this panic start when the budget for subsidy was actually removed?

naptu2:
Ukiwe was Chief of General Staff (military vice president).

This man is full of honor.

This is the biggest political scam I have ever read on Nairaland. Op should fear God o. The picture you are showing here is just 20 kilometers to Calabar and I can confirm to you that that is the only motorable part of the Odukpani - Calabar road. Once you cross the ITU (end of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State) bridge enter Cross River State into Odukpani road, which is about 2 hours drive to the bridge you're showing here is the most horrible road I have ever travelling through till this moment. Suffice it to say that you're only showing the bridge which covers the last 20 kilometers road into Calabar. You guys should fear God o

What is the total distance from Itu bridge to Calabar?

Bovijean:
Good evening everyone
Still available for your POP designs
Wall screeding
Wall units
Wall panels

Do you know the meaning of that third symbol in your designs?
You guys should at least try to look up some of these things.
No be every long rope be necklace!

I can beat that record. True

Which of those Fridays?

No wonder that pregnant man is organizing parade in Abuja.
It seems he is privy to this news.

foleskay:
Yes. Govt build house in america and lease it out to estate developers who mortgage or sells it out to people. U can't build house in US and Europe. Go check

Go check where?
The reason those houses abroad look uniform is because the local government set the standards and have building regulations. They hardly build residential houses.
Estate development is private venture. Even those people who live in government subsidized housing pay the private landlords through government issued checks because government don’t own those houses.

foleskay:
Nice. A lot of villages in ekiti really need a facelift. Like complete overhaul of the houses over there.

Individuals have no business building house,it should be d sole responsibility of the government,so as to have uniform development like we have it in Europe and America. That's why those places are built up to taste. Africa still have centuries to catchup

Na wah. Government should build houses for individuals? Which America are you talking about?

Invest half of that money in the power sector in Nigeria and see the youths engage themselves in different economic ventures driven by constant electricity.
Once this is done, they will be too busy to get involved in insecurity.
Liberia can take care of itself.

pocohantas:
Look at Annie's hairline.
Even the late Osinachi.

You might be far from the truth. But age, hormonal changes and previous styles of hair do is the main culprit not men. Baby hairline is for babies.

saintkeppy:
Etubom Bassey Ekpo Bassey, he started the struggle during the days of Gov Donald Duke but died, but I heard that BEB is not originally from Efik Kingdom, but a grandchild, his father was James Ekpo Bassey of James Town, Ibaka, Mbo near Oron in Akwa Ibom State.

Yes, he started it. He was caught between being a politician and being a traditional ruler. As a young man, he commanded so much influence within the community and was charismatic. Not until he began to dive into all kinds of power tussle .

yinkus6750:
Four out of seven voted unanimously for the new Obong.
What else is the rancour about?
Long live Obong Ani

This is usurping of power and might not end as desired. The stole of Obong of Calabar is never an elected position and will never be. The itit asabo can’t be desecration by having two individuals mount it in a life time. Even a child knows that as long as the present Obong is still life, he remains the ruler.
The use of state power and government connections to hand twist and wrestle power is a shameful act that must be condemned. Everyone should rest and wait for their turn, this should not even be an issue opened for debate.
When people turn the truth face down, it shows the height of desperation and lack of integrity. How could someone publicly claim that Calabar has not had an Obong for over a decade? How is it possible that the kingmakers have remained silent on this matter for that long?
The Obong’s throne is not an election position, neither is it open for the highest bidder. By tradition and precedence, it is a heritage, a right by virtue of one’s position in the Efik family (ufok)
Only divine power can make one be a descendant of a particular family, not man. For the Etuboms, your job is to use your position to make this divine proclamation known to people. Your job is not to select, as the selection is natural. Not by contest. It is Family after family.
There used to be a time when even a child could tell who or which family would be the next Obong. That was when the Efik kingdom was paramount, peaceful and progressive.
The current deviation from that long held practice passed down by the ancestors has brought rancor, reproach and regression to the once well respected throne.
One thing is certain, the spirits are not dead neither are the ancestors. The ikpa ekpe, itit asabo, oyobio, are all watching.
Let the right be done.

somehow:
Yes, definitely from China, Korea or Japan.

You like it?

Seeing that picture alone is making me blink like those sharp ends want to enter my eyes.

somehow:
Yes or No?

Looks like a bird trap.
But it’s Chinese architecture inspired.

Galveston I guess?

OChimex:
Una go just dey Nigeria open mouth waaaaa dey yarn. Drink coke or juice in Nigeria come drink same in America you go understand.
Buy Nike shoes in Nigeria , come buy one in America you go understand.
Most Nigerians are bunch of morally bankrupt conscienceless criminals who don’t care about safety and quality, except money when it comes to goods and services.

Nigeria’s life expectancy now na like 45. Just observe the posters of death for your area, you go know say many Nigerians no dey live pass Sixties. Burial every weekend. Burial ground dey one pole away from my house but I hardly see people conducting funeral here in America.
Attack, village people, poison, bla bla bla na all these chemicals people dey consume in Nigeria dey cause those deaths. Oo

Nobody wants dirty foods and low quality things in their country,
China, India, Mexico etc items full America.
I dey go one Nigerian market for US here, other African country products full there pass Nigerian products oo

You dey mind them? I read the comments from page 1 and came to conclusion that most people are either ignorant or delusional.
People don’t know what they consuming in Nigeria in the name of organic. Almost all poultry farms use a lot of antibiotics in their farms. Even fish farms are the same.
They talk about cancer, forgetting that lack of appropriate diagnosis and treatment is why people hardly even know they have cancer in Nigeria . Those that know, often keep it secret due to the general culture of shame surrounding such in Nigeria.
In the US, produce like fresh avocado is steadily coming from Mexico . Plantain from the Caribbeans fresh and green. Coconuts, cassava from Brazil.
Internally, grass fed cows is everywhere in some southern states. Corn is like nothing.
It makes me wonder what food commodities exactly someone would want import from Nigeria. Add all these to the substandard processing and packaging,
Nigeria exporters are not ready for the competition in that sector.

michlins:
yes sir 98%. But kindly know that the top is a wooden finish and a furniture maker will have to handle that part

Have you had experience working with a furniture person to deliver something like this?

Whitehorse:
Can you build something like the below, at the same quality of finishing?

This is beautiful rail

descarado:
Saint don't have any brother rather he had 8 sisters. He was the last. Cut that woman some slack, will you?
She saw hell. He literally shut his sisters off so he can have peaceful family. Go and read up his interviews before you start dissecting his ex wife. Personally, I wouldn't marry him. Its like entering the lion's den. He himself said it several times.
Even if he is alive and marry again, the woman will still run away. It takes a man with gut to fight 8 older sisters and Saint don't have the gut. The are like hyenas around him.

But they said her brothers cut him with a knife. That incident alone could cause serious trauma like those consistent with PTSD. When people suffer such incident, even their dreams tend to cause fearful experience and their stress regulation functions often is messed up. Did you know that about 47% of people who had suffered PTSD would die ?

When the in-laws attacked and slashed him with a knife they inevitably caused PTSD.
Flash backs from that incident alone could trigger bigger issues including anxiety and fear.
Add that to the depression from loss of job opportunities, divorce, and restricted contact with his children, the result would be disastrous.

coolitempa:
You need to look into the mirror then you will get your answer. There is no precedence for broadcasting supreme court in nigeria or in any western world.

Where did you see Supreme Court?

Ogilinsaka:
In the end what did he die of?

I read through to find out but I didn't after using dicko to crack all the unnecessary grammar

Did you know that the trauma from the knife slashing could cause PTSD. Go check the death rate from PTSD, then you would understand

Heroicvic:
Sorry is it just me that has this pride and won’t think twice before sending any woman that disrespect me in a marriage or relationship off?

I’m sorry but I can’t stand you insulting me while I feed you till you die😏

Now that you know, just be prepared.

JoeyNaza:
Of course top and middle management staff receive such pay.

That lady here is an MTN board member and Chief Enterprise Business Officer, I checked her LinkedIn. MTN CEO got paid 850 million Naira last year. So she should be taking home nothing less than 100 million a year. Well over $10k a month.

In this case, all that money has turned to bread of sorrow and water of tears. God forbids!

cococandy:
I’ve been hearing a lot of grammar but no one actually says what happened?

Please who has the succinct details, what happened? Did she make him sick? (Like a sexually transmitted disease or something). Was she violent towards him? Did he die of injuries he got from being physically battered by him?

Certain life situations could make one physically ill. Physical health could affect mental health and the reverse is also true.
Mental health issues like depression, anxiety, insomnia, maniac episodes, mood and personality disorders have signs and symptoms that could manifest objectively
Take for instance, people who experience some mental illness could complain of headache, migraines, high blood pressure, loss of appetite, weight change (either loss or gain) sleep problems, fever, cold, stomach ache, crying, excessive sweating etc. These are all precursors to serous physical illness due to homeostasis and other biological activities including hormonal fluctuations.
In addition to all of these, certain triggers like stress, emotional abuse , excessive worrying and distortions in thinking could lead to sickness and mental heath illness. They could come as a result of bad relationship or being with the wrong person. Constant exposure to their negative activity causes health problems.
There are situations that put people who are in such relationships at edge, and make them act like they are walking on eggshells.
Humans tend to adopt coping mechanisms which might be detrimental to their health, in challenging circumstances. We have seen how avoidance and isolation were used here, and the negative effects on the health in this case.

The stairs in the 9th picture need rails. Safety first!

FEGEITOK:
I had wanted to comment who else sees something wrong with that comment.

I am glad you have come to the rescue.

These streets explain why some people will prosper and others will forever ask "God why?"

If I needed an engineer, I would pick the lady over and above the guy you quoted.

I am sure I speak for a lot of reasonable people on this thread

One cannot fake competence for long. Good work would always speak for itself. With experience, you can tell who is what, even in the construction industry like ours. Honestly, when you truly know-how, you derive joy in talking about it.
One of the tenets of most progressive professional bodies is for the members to use their knowledge to enlighten the public for public good.

Therefore, if an engineer shares information for building set backs, he/she is contributing to the safety of all of us.
Everything is not about personal gain and money.

visaclick:
off course you will thank her for spilling the milk that took her years to learn and cost her parents or whoever trained her in school alot of money. Why can’t an average yahooboy on the street using a lexus answer the same question. The reason why alot of people will remain broke is their inability to leverage their knowledge, they think by talking too much people will appreciate them.

She has more jobs than most people in this forum. Don’t ask me why it is so. And she is not one of those chasing for jobs they can’t do.
Most Nigerians cannot not differentiate between publicly available information and trade secrets. Building set backs are publicly available information. You don’t need an engineering degree to know them.

Lastly , point of correct. She does not talk too much as you said. Go back from page one and check all the shenanigan on this thread, she is not involved in any
