This same 1967 - 70 spirit is on again abi.

Silly threads attract harsh comments and this won't be an exception.

[quote author=alex_101 link=topic=887041.msg10337310#msg10337310 date=1330989801]Hmm! Whoever controls the army (especially at the infantry level), controls the country. The north must be thanking Ahmadu Bello for this forsight .

In the words of my beloved leader, I say "good morning" to those who had no clue what they fought against in 1967-1970,,,,this is more like fanning the devil's ar.se in hell .[/quote]Are u saying the east fought because of 'oyel' or what exactly do you mean by the bold part of ur comment above?
Look here, even in a billion years from now, no matter how hard u guys try Biafra war by Biafrans can't be justified.
All these ND and SE alliance BoolSheet propaganda won't work.

Another Ola[b]oye[/b]_VS_Ok[b]oye[/b] thread is born.

Well said

Chai this thwead is blosomin oh! Who could av pwedicted . . .

The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grand father, Othman Danfodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We must use the minorities in the North as willing tools and the South as conquered territories and never allow them to rule over us or have control over their future.” (Sir Ahmadu Bello October 12, 1960)

With the above statement, i don't believe in Ojukwu saw or Awolowo saw blah blah blah crap,  Any sane person should get message and know its implication well enough.

I say 18 states structure. We have to many duplication of function in our system.

The US is in support of our situation as long as it is fatorable to them.

Good move

polokor60:
a nigerian was caught trafficing hard drugs.all this tribal bigotry or bad blood flowing between the ibos and yorubas must be discouraged in this present generation.some sets of individuals played a fast game on your grand fathers who where living in peace and harmony,the seed of discord between the both you is the strength,power and authority they have over you.it seems you have not learn from the mistakes of your predecessors,making a mistake is mistake,but a continous repeat of a mistake makes that person a fool.so keep fooling yourselves with yoruba this and ibo that while your major enemies keep ripping off all your human and natural resources while you you wallow in penury.

Maybe one day we will av Okoyes_VS_Olaoyes section on NL. Tribalism is already part and parcel of NL.

For a country that depends on experts for virtually all its industrialized sectors, i don't deporting foreigners indiscriminately is the best. What happens when we have a row with, say, Britain or Italy?

Lets say sokoto state gets and spends N4.5b allocation monthly, there is nothing wierd in going thru less N2b in 3 weeks

What's so special about that? She shld tell us the kinda meal she was cooking na. . .

Before it used to be ''the spokesman'', now it is ''a Nigerian spokesman of Boko Haram . . . .'' from the looks of things, they 've rejig their strategy for the task ahead.

Nchara, pls kindly point out the part of the article were you got the topic from.

Every sch in Nigeria is the best. If you r not sure of the standard of any school, just ask any any of its graduates.

Fellow NL, i need ur urgent support badly pls. I need u guys to help me out with any form of shell (SPDC) aptitude test question and answer(optional).

Beaf:

Oando used to be responsible for more than half of the subsidy (Idon't know if they still are), so it would be really difficult for them to escape the searchlight. They will be minutely scrutinised for their sheer import volumes, even if they are sqeauky clean which I thoroughly doubt.

Stop the delusion Oga beaf, Oando has always been a major marketer, how do u xplain that of Uba's Capital oil who had no history? or the remaining God knows how many companies.
By the way how is Madam Ceci-liar Ibru doing? u seem not to be concerned about such people. don't forget SLS has pumped trillions in to Banking and Capital whatever they call it and the likes of Ceci-liar remains a bigger treat. let Tinubu remain for now. let's focus on punishing the offenders that have been caught instead of hunting political opposition.

olafolarin:
I listened to Oando's Wale Tinubu during the House briefing and he definitely defended his coy.
Capital Oil's Uba was just a disgrace.

They are not so hard to know, funny enuf they will be the first to sponsor online blackmailers, screaming cabals are from one region

Sun of god:
Corruption everywhere you look . . .

NNPC should be disbanded - they are the root cuase of the problem.

Its a corrupt private corporation that's sole purpose is to fleece Nigeria.

I wouldn't exactly say they the real cos of these problem is NNPC, we have men in powerful places secretly dictating the affairs of the oil sector and most of its parastatals. Even if the govt should disband NNPC they will still corrupt the oil sector, a more lasting solution will be to fish them out individually not just by company name they front with, and deal with them.

[center]NNPC, oil marketers share N2.4bn fuel subsidy daily[/center]


The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, members of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, the Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria and other importers are among those that share over N2.4bn daily subsidy on petrol, SUNDAY PUNCH has learnt.

The major oil marketers are Mobil, Conoil, Total, Forte Oil (formerly AP), MRS(formerly Texaco) and Oando Plc.

For independent petroleum marketers, firms like NIPCO, Folawiyo Energy, Capital Oil, Obat Oil, Rahamaniyah, among others, are also deeply involved in importation of petrol.

Oil marketers and other importers account for the importation of 50 per cent of petrol consumed in the country, while the NNPC handles the other 50 per cent.

The Federal Government pays subsidy on petrol to keep the pump price at N65 per litre nationwide, though the landing cost of the product through importation is well over N100 per litre.

From a recent data obtained from the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency’s website, retail price for petrol is N65 while the expected price is placed at N139.69. This amounts to a subsidy of N74.69 per litre.

The expected price of N139.69 was arrived at by adding a margin of N15.49 to the landing cost of the product, which is N124.20 per litre, according to data on the PPPRA website.

Nigeria consumes about 32 million litres of mostly imported petrol on a daily basis and at N74.69 per litre of subsidy, the marketers share over N2.4bn daily.

When our correspondent contacted the National President, IPMAN, Mr. Abdukadir Aminu, on the telephone, he said the 50:50 template for petrol importation between the NNPC and MOMAN/IPMAN/other importers, still subsisted.

He said, “Aside from IPMAN and MOMAN, we still have other importers of petrol. They don’t have an identity. We just call them other marketers.

“They don’t have retail outlets. IPMAN and MOMAN can’t be held responsible for these unidentified marketers.”

Efforts to reach the Executive Secretary of MOMAN, Mr. Obafemi Lawore, were not successful as he did not pick calls made to his phone and did not reply to text messages our correspondent sent to him.

SUNDAY PUNCH however gathered that some NNPC officials allegedly colluded with importers to move refined products from Nigerian refineries to the high sea where they were sent back as imported fuel, in order to claim fuel subsidy.

[b]The President of the Maritime Stakeholders Consultative Forum, Mallam Suleiman Aliyu, and the agency’s Secretary, Mr. Adefila Aderogba, reportedly said officials of the NNPC were conniving with foreigners to sell locally-refined products to Nigerians as imported products.

According to them, on November 1, 2011, a vessel, SEA PHANTOM, flying a Hong Kong flag was accosted by a NIMASA team on random check. The vessel was discharging its content, about 10,000 tonnes of kerosene, into a bigger vessel, MT TORM ESBJERG, within the Lagos waters.

When the NIMASSA officials conducted further checks, they discovered that SEA PHANTOM loaded about 10,000 tonnes of Dual Purpose Kerosene from Okirika in Rivers State with the Port Harcourt port (Abonnema) as the final point of discharge for local consumption.

However, the vessel was allegedly diverted to the Lagos offshore.

Further investigations by the agency allegedly showed that the receiving vessel, MT TORM ESBJERG, with a capacity of 29,733 tonnes was already in possession of more than 20,000 metric tonnes of DPK.

The SEA PHANTOM content was added, making it a total content of about 37,500 metric tonnes of DPK.

NIMASA’s findings further showed that the 7,500 tonnes of DPK on MT TORM ESBJERG was to be returned to the Port Harcourt port in Rivers State as imported DPK for local consumption.

When contacted, the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs, NNPC, Dr. Levi Ajuonuma, did not respond to calls and the text meesage sent to his phone by our correspondent around 8pm on Friday.[/b]

Just last month, lawmakers promised to investigate fuel subsidies, which the Federal Government had said would cost Nigeria N 1.2tn.

A resolution from the National Assembly said, “The Senate committees on Petroleum Resources (Downstream), Appropriation and Finance are to investigate the operation of the fuel subsidy scheme.”

The FG at the beginning of the year set aside N240bn in 2011 budget for oil subsidy, out of which N20bn was billed to be spent monthly on subsidy.

By the end of the year, the FG will have spent N1.2tn on fuel subsidy against the N240bn appropriated by the National Assembly.

President Goodluck Jonathan had recently conveyed to the National Assembly the intention of his government to begin the removal of fuel subsidy next year.

Jonathan made his intention known in a letter relaying his administration’s Medium Term Expenditure Framework and a N4.8tn budget for the 2012 fiscal year.The covering letter for the budget read in part, “A major component of the policy of fiscal consolidation is government’s intention to phase out the fuel subsidy, beginning from the 2012 fiscal year.

“This will free up about N1.2tn in savings, part of which can be deployed into providing safety nets for poor segments of the society to ameliorate the effects of the subsidy removal.”

State governors had also declared their support for the Federal Government’s planned removal of fuel subsidy. They gave their consent at the National Economic Council meeting held in the State House, Abuja.

The organised labour and opposition parties however described the planned removal as a “declaration of war and invitation to anarchy.”

@standing5,i would never name my school on here,cos should i do so,every CU peeps on here already knows my identity and might start beefing and dissing. Don't wanna lose my friends as some of them are really nice guys.



But i reiterate that CU was never selected for that program,they applied as did every other schools across the world.

NAIRALANDERS,PLS DO NOT BE TRICKED INTO HAVING THE FALSE IMPRESSION THAT CU IS THE BEST THERE IS,THE BEST PRIVATE UNIS ARE LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN AND INNER-MOST PARTS OF NIGERIA.

Why can't u name ur school u r suppose to be proud of U must be one hell of a Nairaland Scam. Comming here to spill how ur school pays 850K and all that yet u cant name it. Did they denied u admission to Madonna or CU? u sound like like an U-20 anyway.

CU does not apply for such. the vision and mission of the school is clear enuf for all who r conversant with the school.

topic says : Why Is It That Igbo/easterners Are Too Lazy To Farm To Feed Themselves. now i don't agree with that they may not be involved for some reasons but they don't occur to me as lazy pple  not at all, and i think what u just highlighted applies to the whole of southern Nigeria.

gascoign1:
No one is the best,depending on your area.Use the strong signal in your area to find which service provider works best for you.

like the quote says no one is stable all through, but i personally think glo is a strong candidate for most locality. it works so well for me.

dayokanu:
WHat fields are tested in the Zain cntest that NO single private university had maybe you should enlighten us

Which schools did they contest against?UI, UNILAG, OAU?

I swear private universities are a disgrace, See how one of their products is bragging about a Selection process and not about winning a competition? Did the US embassy tell you the criteria for choosing these students?


And many more i have heard of but cant seem to lay my hand on right now.

for the schools they contested against i don't have to read the whole article out to you and pls follow the links

the criteria they used include: mannerism, character, learning.

u can do some search on Google and see for urself, i dont have to point it out to all the time.
