There are strong indications that low consumption, low turnover and competition may have forced marketers to sell premium motor spirit (PMS) otherwise called petrol below N145 per litre.

Nigerian Tribune gathered on Sunday that marketers, especially the independent ones were now selling petrol between N130 and N143 per litre depending on the area and the marketers.

NIPCo filling station at Fadeyi bus stop, on Ikorodu Road was selling petrol at N143 per litre, while NNPC Retail Station at Igando was selling at N135 per litre as on Sunday.

Al Rakin, College Road Ogba, Ikeja sold at N140.

In Ibadan, BOVAS, Odo ona, Dove, Ring Road, Diltop, Akala Expressway, offf New Garage all sold at N140, while a filling station at Olorunsogo, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway sold at N143 and another at Orita-Aperin sold at N140.

However, all major marketers, including MRS, TOTAL, MOBIL, CONOIL, FORTE were selling at N145 per litre.

In a telephone conversation with the Nigerian Tribune, on Sunday, the Public Relations Officer, Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Western Zone, Alhaji Abdul Lateef Jaiyeola, stated that "firstly, that is the outcome of deregulation, whereby competition will force down the price. Secondly, our members are recording low consumption and patronage from motorists. Those who used to sell 100,000 litres (equivalent of three trucks) daily are now finding it difficult to sell 33,000 litres daily."

However, he stated that products from private depot owners were now cheaper and available than products from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

Spokesman of NIPCO Plc, Alhaji Taofeek Lawal, told Nigerian Tribune, that "that is what deregulation brings to the sector. We sell at N134 per litre from the depot at Apapa. Any of our dealers can add N6-N7 per litre as margin after, adding transportation cost of let's say N2 per litre. The one at Fadeyi bus stop can decide to sell below N143 per litre it is selling if he considers turnover because we deal in volume.

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, at two Town Hall meetings in Lagos, recently, assured Nigerians that after six month, competition would force down pump price of fuel and that the government would improve domestic refining capacity by ensuring the three refineries were working to complement imported products by the NNPC and marketers.

Efforts to speak with Executive Secretary of Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN), Mr Femi Olawore, proved abortive, as his number was not available as at time of this report.

wizzman20:
That his fault...imagine a medical doctor turning into an armed robber..u think is an easy decision for him...after 7 to 8 year in our God forsaking schools and no job...brother I don't blame dat guy at all

Stay there with ur wife and send ur kids to boarding school..

aloziedaya:
Yes I know how difficult things are in Nigeria rigddht now. Everyday I read and hear from the media news and articles about Nigeria that trouble the heart.
Life in Europe is better in terms of basic needs as humans, but socially it has decayed beyond imagination. The future of our children is at stake here socially and morally. The western culture is eating deep in our children.
So I'm considering bringing my family down to Nigeria to train them in our own culture.
Do you think I'm making a mistake?
Please your candid advice.

Y dont the papers collect their monies b4 placing ads?

pedrilo:
If u canvassed for adverts for ur company and the clients u brought refused to pay, where do u expect d company to get money to pay u? Nigerians sha!

Did u read at all?? There is a valid reason for owed salaries

capip120:
So the money was there all this while and you refused to pay them? And now they went public you decided to terminate their contracts for asking for what they are being owed. This country is really a hell to live in with no job, no jobsecurity, no security, inflation, poverty, crimes and so many other vices and the people who are supposed to make key decisions that matters are not even helping matters.
Let's see how the Labour organization will handle this one.

Did u read at all?? They cost close to 1b in losses and the paper is witholding their salaries as sureties/COLLATERAL on the devt they took!

ZUBY77:
No job security whatsoever in the Godforsaken country.
People are not being paid and when they complain, they get fired and nobody does anything.
Where else will people get money to run their lives if not from their place of work?

Nobody checkmates these animals.
Minister of labour, instead of calling for a meeting first, issues threat as a military dictator that he works for.
I hope he issues threats to ThisDay too and then to Dangote, Capital Oil, Innoson, Glo etc.
Lets see how many companies he participated in their creation

I think its free to indigenes...those peeos are adverse to paying for anyyhing

bejeiodus:
Grant the university some autonomy and stop breastfeeding it. The university can generate enough money to keep itself alive.

How many belong to the government? Is it bell..bowen...or covenant??

Businessideas:
What do you expect?? Just set up a department or Faculty of Pipeline Blow up Technology and your youths will troop to the university.
Nonsense. These are the 'leaders' that should have been visionary enough to know that the amnesty payment will destroy their youths. You have not seen anything yet, just wait until the children of these generation of pipeline destroyers and lazy amnesty collectors grow up. Shiorr .
When a state like Ogun State has more than 5 tertiary institutions and no single one is even allowed to die.Osun and Ondo states even have two universities!!

I am surprised no ssid anything about the 400.000 million recurrenr expenditure a month. So you spend close to 5 billion per snum in paying salaries?? What then capital expenses?
Even the blind can see that its fraud at play here. There is no way such a uni can spend 400m on recurrents!

CyerSeries:
I'm n a wailer but I must admit, this is the worst governor Nigeria has ever produced. ... This governor is a very shameless and hopeless idiot. Even my small Ebonyi State has been funding EBSU and Ebonyi State College of Education and School of Health Technology since 1999. What is he doing with the jumbo allocation he recieves every month, the IGR from oil companies, etc?... Nawa oo Please nobody should quote me

Done in developed countries? Which countries? Name me one please

shaddoww:
it's actually one of unicef's programme which they brought to Nigeria in 2007 n started with 7 stares but it's only sustained by Osun. And it's wat is being done in developed countries. One of d benefits is dat it brings more foreign partnership n foreign aid.

Y should govt get involved in free lunch? Even in london kids either bring their own foods or buy at he school canteen!


[quote author=shaddoww eipost=46407102]Everybody thinking dis programme will fail should keep their worries, it will succeed because there is already a template, State of Osun is already running the programme n it's very successful without being hijacked by the school teachers.[/quote]

Y sould govt be feeding school kids in a social intervention experiment that will gulp 500 billion?? That is close to 2 billion dollars. Do you know the gambia islamic republics budget is just abit above 2 billion..

marwanafrica:
Good move, I love this kind of news it gives hope to the hopeless nigerians, I pray that days of stagnant progress are over in nigeria

Shola cyril babatunde....long time. You are now grown up. Wao man. So you are still serving in akwa ibom after not passing out in 2012?? Anyways your father told what you did.
Anyways why are you standing in that dirty environment? Anyways i am meeting your dad next week in akure for a contract. Hope you will be there....

cyril700:
Topic: See The Deplorable State Of The Just Commissioned Akwaibom State Secretariat

Nairalanders come closer,... so I heard so much about our newly built and commissioned secretariat annex and I took out time today to go see for myself .From what I saw when I got there I was puzzled. I don't want to belief that this is the overrated world class Secretariat in Akwa ibom state Pictures below!

Its ompossible!! These govnors are mad. I wish they dhould have been sent to prison if truelu this was their suggestion. What an impetus.
On the other hand i think it was/is a great error in judgement to have gone after the warlords over corruption allegations. Are they running any institutions or administrations?
He should ve let them be for the time being and take them unawares after 3 years of 'freedom'.

shaqhead:
If this is true, hmmm...am lost for words!

Please enlighten me...from the post what was bizness n what was pleasure?

Cherishing:
Artisan Abi Learner


You can't mix business with pleasure and expect the same result

And let the child die?

ShowYourCertificate:
See how the child is looking at the nurse so innocent and helpless. If I were the nurse, that look is enough to make me not to give the injection

My guyu did not read. If u did u did not comprehend. What has overpopulation got to do with such societal arrangement

oglalasioux:
It's done all over Igboland though I hope modernity will soon put an end to it. The onus of existence is not high population but quality of life. Over population is the reason Nigeria is where it is today. Our resources is growing in Arithmetic progression while the population is growing at Geometric progression.

It's a noble thing but it must stop. Say no to teenage pregnancy, early and forceful marriage and large families.

Y is it barbaric? Can we comment with points? Instead of making flippant comments?

Omotayor123:
Barbaric

Please can i kno why you say that? If does not do it the husband's relations will claim all the husbands properties...and also it help preserve the man's name

mamawin:
orisirisi, some traditions sha! over my dead body!

Hey guys just saw thins n thought to share so we can keep our womenfolk happy.......





Being a guy, I’ve always been sort of intimidated whenever I’ve heard people say “you don’t know what women want”, “no one knows what women want”, “understanding women is like rocket science” and so on and so forth. I’ve always hated the generalization that women are hard to understand, women are just as easy to understand as men. It isn’t justified to just label a gender as “hard to understand” just because a few people of the opposite gender find them hard to understand or just because they can’t comprehend them. So, for the normal and unbiased people out there, I’m writing about seven things every guy can do to make his woman happy and content.

Let’s begin:

1. Loyalty

Loyalty is one of the first traits that keep a relationship alive and strong. When loyalty gets affected, the entire relationship goes out the window within mere moments no matter how long it took for that relationship to get there. Complete transparency is vital for every relationship and everyone needs to realise this fact.

2. Honesty

Being honest is one of the easiest ways to a woman’s heart. Men, even if you make a mistake, just be honest about it. Being honest is much better than making someone go through the trouble of hearing your lies and finding out the truth later on and getting badly hurt by it. It’s always better to be open and honest about your past and your own individuality. Don’t try to be someone else in front of her, or you’ll be faking the relationship entirely when you finally show her your true side. Make sure she loves you for who you are and not what you “could’ve been” or “can be”. Be honest, it doesn’t cost anything and it has a lot of rewards.

3. Time

I’ve said this countless times, “time” is one of the most precious gifts you can give someone. When a man takes out time for his woman, he’s making an effort above all else. Take out time from your busy schedules, have your very own separate days with her where it’s just you and her. Regardless of how busy your life is, always take proper time out for your woman. It’s all about priorities.

4. Understanding

After having a lot of arguments with my girlfriend, I finally realised where I was going wrong. I was always there for her both emotionally and physically whenever she needed me, but in her dark moments I didn’t understand her as well as I should’ve. Now I finally actually know what she means and when she needs me. True understanding takes a lot of time to achieve but it’s well worth the effort. Understand your women, it’s not impossible.

5. Be emotional

It’s not unmanly to be emotional. Women love it when their men show emotions and show them their kinder and softer sides. I’ve always been emotional my girlfriend, I’ve cried on her shoulder, I’ve been highly emotional about everything I’ve ever felt. It has always helped in making the trust between us grow bigger and stronger because I never kept a shield around myself in front of her. Be vulnerable in front of your women, you won’t be judged, you’ll only be loved.

6. Be their strength

A man needs to protect his woman, mentally and physically. Be their strength when they’re down, be their strength in their ups and downs, always be their strength without them even asking for it. I’ve always been there for my girlfriend when she’s had dark times. It’s only natural for a woman to expect her man to protect her. Be the strength they need.

7. Security

The last thing in the list in what women want is “Security”. I don’t mean that in the literal sense. A man should be secure in his ways, in his future plans and in his financial plans. It’s a huge plus when a man knows where he’s going in life. The passion in his eyes for his own future is very vital. So men, decide on who you want to be and where you want to be in life. Don’t be indecisive.

My friend if u read carefully the only time i was personal with op was when i talked of subsistence farming!? The rest i was trying to lay out my suggestions and was not trying to belittle anybody...more so a recent graduate with no access to loans.
My guy you the north you insult all the time? Up there the govt will give the op a tractor...talkless if he is a graduate.
They value agriculture more than us than south. The most agrarian sociesties down south like ekiti. Osun. Ebonyi. Enugu . C river should have the potential to be breadbaskets, but lack the support.

Nychillax:

Actually u are entitled to yer own opinion but this yer advice is out of it...why??

Any farming that is beyond provide for yourself and family is commercial farming be it small scale or large scarle,is OP aim to provide for himself or to generate income??so,it is commercial farming not subsistence farming as far as his aim is to generate income for himself.

Moreover, u are talking about 21st century so it must be highly mechanized or having a mechanized equipment.

Where did u want an undergraduate that has been in Labour market over the years to see money to engage in mechanised farming.

Or he should be waiting for loan from government that has just removed subsidy on fertilizer some weeks ago,pls eraze any help from Nigerian government for now except if u are damn lazy.

I just don't know the way some people reason nowadays, u can't discourage someone when he has already sort out another alternative to build is career. He has starts from somewhere even if it is a plot of land very soon by God's grace he will he will be planting on hectares of Land.

Don't think of wat government will do for u but think of what you can do to help yourself and society and learn how to encourage others.

@OP,I wish yer massive success ahead....

I use to see that sign and my thought was if it was museum to show case the activities of ex deputy governors!!
Please i am being sarcastic

bedguy:
You won't believe this hilarious billboard I saw at a place in Asaba today. Which way Nigeria?

My guy this is not agriclture but subsistence farming?!
When we talk of agriculture in the 21st century we need something more than this to make it more attractive to the younger generation and more profitable. Viz:
Government should provide micro credit facilities.

Fg should encourage the creation of cooperatives in these agric growth poles. As well as encourage these cooperatives grow even bigger.

Government should dedicate agricultural growth poles in all the senatorial districts.

Government should provide the infrastures to help sustain these growth poles. Such as farm to market roads so that foods dont get damaged while being transported. Irrigation facilities all year round for the crops.

Fg to build cold rooms in these senatorial growth poles as well for perishable goods...dairy products...processed meet or chicken or fish.

Fg to also encourage specialisations in these poles i.e. NEspecialise in animal husbandary and processed meat products. North central in vegetables and fruits as well as leaves co. North West on vegetables as well as well as madsive rice paddies. Beans. Groundnuts etc.
SW to specialise cocoa and a government built chocolate factory. And also on cassava and rice paddies and fish farms. South east on palm kernels and groundnut oil processing plants and also corn and allied products. While the SS is focus on fisheries and rice paddies on am industrial scale.

They should all engage in tomato productions as well for obvious reasons.

Of course this should on a mechanised scale and not hand to mouth like op suggested!

Since u ve passion for teaching stay with it. It migyt even get to a point where u r earning 200.000 to 300.000 per month! Through word of mouth from the parents..you can even surpass it.



[quote author=butanep post=4h 6128692]Wow. I am very impressed with your comment. It gave me a whole lot of factors to pounder on. Your analysis was very classic.

I have passion for teaching very well. All my students do pass their exams and do very well in school. That's the more reason parents recommend me to other rich parents that need the service of a home tutor. I still have my time doing other things. I plan to venture into a business related to teaching.


I really don't know what my task will be in the company but I applied for a supervisor. I will have to do my research about the company growth profile and ask one one two staff about the structure and staff growth.[/quote]

As a student i wont be happy studying in such classes....i do sincerely believe 18million will renovate the school to higher standards.
Its really a pity.

I use to think those that think like y were yorubbas. But alas i now realised hausas full nairaland as well!! You no mention federal character...but during jonas time i almost thought federal character was a state in the north

AntidaftMOD:
[s][/s]

I dunno why most of you have chosen to be so senseless. Six people were appointed and two are frothose m the South while 4 come from the North. How many regions are in the North? There are three regions in the North just like the South. As far as I'm concerned, the region that ain't represented here now is the South South. An Igbo man (SE) was appointed, a Yoruba man (SW) was appointed and I'm very sure the remaining 4 would be shared among the 3 Northern regions. I,e, 2 Northwest, 1 Northeast and 1 from North-Central.

If this is a play on sarcasm then its not that funny!! But if u mean am then its a fuckin funny feast!
Some sort of a knock out pun

this is still a witch hunt. EFCC needs to prove how the money got into his account. Buhari hates metuh very much. Metuh is not a thief. The money just entered his account. Buhari hates the 5%
