Osun people voted for Adeleke, Tinubu and his nephew Oyetola Stole their mandate...The tribunal returned the mandate but you are angry because you say Adeleke is an illiterate.

What does that have to do with anything?

Who did the Osun people vote for?

Do you even know what the word illiterate means?

"Unable to read or write."

What does his literacy have to do with him being a governor. Dangote is also illiterate by your definition but has PhD's shovelling shit for him.

The most important thing needed in governance is a HEART.

If Adeleke has a heart he will be a better leader than that Professor SAN Vice President whose main job is sharing kobo kobo in markets and telling lies up and down for Buhari who by the way by your definition is also an illiterate....

The End

Babasola Kuti

Dangote has a university degree from an Egyptian university

Gandollars, Haba!

Born2Breed:
Oshiomole had no WAEC,he ruled for 8yrs.
Buhari has none.

This woman don't only need a mental therapy but a skin therapy. Her dead skin cells are affecting her brain cells.

Oshiomole had a grade 2 teaching certificate as well as a university degree from a British universitiy called Ruskin College which was set up in the late 19th century to provide education for chaps like him who did not have o level or it's equivalent.

It is that degree he has been contesting witj

Gandollars in panic mode!

Basics from the CBN governor...

1.Restriction has to continue because the source of dollars is restricted

2.Restriction can only end if Nigeria diversifies away from oil

Simple.

morpheus24:
But they made the wrong move opting to join with Cameroun for fear of lesser representation in the squabbling eastern region at that time, now you have a francophone dominant government marginalizing them because they are "Anglophone". The absurdity of it all is what gets me. You are discriminating against your people based on their use of a 'foreigners" language.

When they say black people are a little slow upstairs these kinds of issues is what supports that assertion.

It's not just blacks.Canada seems peaceful, till you read the long and sometimes violent history of its francophone and anglophone communities

RTSC:
Consequences of Nigeria being a shitthole.
This is an opportunity to reclaim southern cameroon, but we can't dare.

Something similar happened in Ukraine and Russia annexed the unstable region.

Crimea's case is different

1.There was no international court ruling

2.It was detached from Russia and added to Ukraine by Soviet leader Khrushchev in 1954 when both Russia and Ukraine were part of the Soviet Union

As for anglophone Cameroon.

1.It voted to rejoin Cameroon by a UN plebiscite in 1961.

2.It was not really part of Nigeria. When Germany lost world.war one, all its colonies were handed over to the British, French and South Africans. The Kamerum colony was divided between the Brit's and the French as trust territories

Denikayan:
It shall never be well with who invented and propagated religion!

A world without religion would have been a better place.

The conflict in the Cameroon has nothing to do with religion...and the OP is being mischievous.

Francophone Cameroon is divided between a Muslim North and a Christian South. Anglophone Cameroon is mostly Christian.

The division here is lingusitic. Anglophones, who are in the minority, and who used to be part of Nigeria have been complaining of discrimination on the grounds of language. There is a rebel group and a secessionist movement active there as a result.

MKULTRA:
Nigeria can use this opportunity to take back bakassi region

When we went to the ICJ in 1994 to argue for Bakassi, we swore , along with Cameroon, to abide by any decision.

The decision went against us.

joshjc:
if our country was working well this would been a good opportunity to invade the affected areas,just like what happened in crimea, but our nation has been destroyed by the vampires we have as leaders

Yes it sounds like a 'good' idea...but in 1961, the Anglophone Camerounians voted to join their french speaking brethren.

It was a mistake , but to all intents and purposes, they are part of the Cameroon

Attacking them would bring down the wrath of France. We could be fighting a war with France within weeks.

rummmy:
northern Cameroon is predominantly Muslims while southern Cameroon is mostly Christians.. The same way Gowon who is a Christian was used by Muslim dominated northern army to commit atrocities in biafra but Christian it Nigeria biafran war.. Give them independence if that is what the majority of them wants.

Francophone Cameroon is mostly Christian, with Muslims in the North.

Anglophone Cameroon is mostly Christian.

The division here is mostly linguistic.The Cameroonian Army is most likely mixed...Christian and Muslim, and mainly Francophone.

Religion does not play a role. Ironically, the Cameroonian Army is helping us fight Boko Haram

justice12000:
Typical afonja, Awolowo killed 3 million Biafran children. Yorubas in Lagos want Igbos killed. Who is bitter and hateful? Spare me hypocrites filled with hate and wickedness!

Grow up, husband of 20 wives

justice12000:
Typical afonja response; they like this. Show me a country where accidents happen like Nigeria? Wicked things that thrive of the suffering of others. Let go of the fuccking country for people to go and build and develop themselves at their own pace and ability.

I'm not from the South West son. I'm from elsewhere.

And for your own good, let go of this bigotry. And the bitterness. It will damage you.

Be mature.

justice12000:
This is so painful. Yorubas, let go of this fuccking country, people are suffering men. Yorubas, this country will never work; stop making other peoples' lives miserable.

Hmm...so accidents don't happen in the South, eh?

Okay.....

Sometimes the bigotry on this site from both the North and the South is so unbelievable.

Grow up.

tstx:
Bad roads is not the cause of Accidents in Nigeria.. Fashola, 2019

The Kaduna-Zaria road is in relatively good repair.

NIMC....we need action on those National ID cards...please!

If they had the national ID, identification is just a matter of minutes.

maryjames9:
This man is wasting his talent. Let him go and do the World Strongest Man competition, may be he could win something.

For WSM...he would really really need to bulk up more than that.

Good...am thinking of opening an akant with Access.

InlandTaipan84:
While most people in the South East and South South go to hospitals to get tested for HIV/AIDS,people from other geopolitical regions normally do not especially in the North East and North west

The survey from which the results were obtained was house and community based, not hospital based.

You don't use hospitals for this kind of study. Otherwise you would end up with wrong results

princetom1:
Seems u follow too much book in this nation, u don't wanna admit that intentionally, things are made this way to favour the cabals... Upon all the complains from genco and disco, are they not making profit? Are the ones who truly won bid, the ones operating? If they say, they wanna sell something in Nigeria, it's because... Some set of people or cabals are about to profit from the nation, doing nothing... U need to study genco issues and discos

Gencos and discos are losing money.

One disco operator had to be taken over by the government because they were no longer financially viable.

Discos have a cash shortfall running into trillions of naira

Problem dey

Willie2015:
The Northern Elites are notorious for illegal smuggling across border......

You hardly hear any arrest from the North.....

One of them is a multi billionaire kingpin of smuggling.....

He is living at the backyard of Gen Buhari in Katsina State....

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander....Let them arrest those guyz up north too...

Off topic...but there is an easy way to stop smuggling of petorl

First...why does smuggling happen

1.Fuel costs over N250 in NIGER republic.

2. Fuel costs N145 here, MEANWHILE...it costs more than N170 to import fuel. If Alhaji sells his fuel in Katsina...he loses money...at Least N20,at most N100.

3.therefore Mr Alhaji smuggler...smuggles fuel across..and earns a cool N100 profit every time he does.(He is a businessman)

If we removed fuel subsidy

1.Smuggling would stop

2.Yes, prices would go up...but it would net Alhaji smuggler a cool profit.

3.Since rule no 1 of business is invest profit to get more profit...Alhaji would invest more in the downstream petrol sector of Nigeria

4.He provides more jobs for the Abokees..who won't go on 'extracurrucular activites', business grows, unemployment falls.

5.And prices eventually fall too.

princetom1:
Atiku selling NNPC means we will start buying fuel at 400, between, if someone should say, let's sell NNPC to a neutral person that has no ties whatsoever to any of these cabals, all of them will immediately say, DONT sell NNPC... Look at phcn now, it's a disaster, nepa is better than wat phcn has become... Stop recycling foolish ediot old men ad politicians una no go listen una go dey follow pdp and apc that has mortgage una future up and down...

princetom1:
If there is anything the cabals are good at, it's joining hand to reap the masses off... If u ever think healthy competition will come and it will reduce prices, u are simply new to Nigeria... Phcn is an example... The masses are suffering it now... Only way forward? All these old and useless politicians with their offspring must go...

The reason why PHCN is not working after privatization has to do with these factors.

1.About 1/3rd of people connected to the grid nationwide actually pay for power

2.DISCOS are forced, under the provisions of the law, to sell power at prices set by the Nigeria Energy Regulatory Commision, which means they are forced to keep prices low...which does not allow them to make a profit and in turn makes it difficult to

3.pay GENCOS. Gencos , the generating companies, buy gas from various suppliers, including Nigeria Gas company. All of these suppliers insist on payment in dollars. , not in naira.

4.Because DISCOS don't have enough to pay GENCOS, it means that money is scarce, and that makes DISCOS reject gas supplies from GENCOS

5. Banks don't want to lend to DISCOS because of 1) uncertainties in billing 2) fact that DISCOS are not making a profit.

Basically, the way forward is to allow DISCOS to charge the price they want, and to allow DIScos to charge across regions, as well as to meter every house. This would increase profits(Ghana pays more for electricity than we do)

Problem is , Nigerians don't want increases, and don't like estimated billing practices.



Selling NNPC and removing subsidy

1.Prices will go up. No choice.

2.HOWEVER...investment would pour in. NNPC would attract competitors SINCE under the new deregulation policy, everyone is now allowed to make a profit. (Subsidy means that marketers buy fuel at N165 , sell at N145 and government pays them N20 now which is the difference .Profit not made. NNPC now is the one importing fuel...which means NNPC is losing money in essence..which is why there is so much corruption because people want to make money, and subsidy ain't letting them)

3.More refineries are built, more investment in oil production and exploration

4.Prices come down within a year or two.

5.Need I say that government SAVES money (at least N1 trillion yearly) and that JOBS are created as a result of all that investment.

it happened before...GSM.

bro4u:
FG should legalize these things and watch how the economy will be restored back.

A bunkerer steals oil from oil installations, and sells to the highest bidder...and usually for a price lower than the oil price.

He or she does not pay taxes to the government

As a result, revenue is lost. Mr oil bunkerer hoards his money outside the country, people suffer.

Legalisation means these guys would have to pay taxes. Dem no go gree.

anonymuz:
Its their property, why arrest them? Nothing like illegal here when abokis are there holding top offices in oil industries and those that have the oils aren't benefiting enough from what they have in possession. Please argue with me politely.

Well, they are not just stealing from the 'Northerners', they are stealing from their own people too

Illegal bunkering reduces government revenue...which makes funding the budget harder for all...including Southern oil producing states

These bunkerers will store the money they make in illegal bank accounts, offshore. None of it would reach their people.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
How many of you discovered those Lucifer monikers comments has drastically reduced on Nairaland. seems the mods has done the right thing by banning them, or they have relocated back to hell.. lool

The guy was a troll.

Online trolls gain energy from causing offence on the web

hush15:
look truth be told, the price inceease compared to what we are paying now wont be much but it will only be for awhile. The monopoly will be taking from nnpc and you begin to see players un the industry take bold step and then the madket begins to experience big competition which ultimately begins to see price comparisons and eventually falls just like we experienced in the telecommunications sector and before you know it, we paying even less that 145 to say the least. best part is products will be refined locally to reduce cost drastically which means we can go back to days where we buy less that 50naira

I know...I have used this argument you have given me on Nairaland before.

And every time, I get the same response. 'They will exploit us' .

Nigerians sha. I opposed PDP....yet i know a good idea when I see one.

gameboyo:
Nope, you're wrong. It'll create room for proper deregulation of that sector and competition will strife. Same thing that happened to the telecommunications sector.
Just imagine it was government still running the telecommunications sector right now

Yes, that's right.

But anytime I tell Nigerians on Nairaland that we have to deregulate and sell NNPC...that's when people will lam bast you well well.

EVEN when I bring up GSM and how it was deregulated from the start...how MTN SIM used to cost N10000 , and how a package from veego could coat as much as 23000 (veego is now airtel)...but thanks to deregulation prices came down....they will say it is different.

MrImole:
The man no get debit/credit card?

In this 21st century...

Some Nigerians of the older generation don't have cards.(My parents took their blessed time to get one)

I SHOULD point out that papa was unconscious...and only he knew his details...ATM pin inclusive.

aolawale025:
Those refineries are a drain pipe. And very corruption prone. Endless turnaround maintainance yet no production. They should be sold off.

Basically, if subsidy was removed...NNPC would have the incentive and the means to keep the refineries working properly....because now, the refineries would be the source of cash.

But because subsidy is in place, NNPC keeps on selling fuel at a loss, and as a result, no money for new investments...which leads to corrruption because people will deliberately break parts to earn a little extra money for themselves.

Realtord43:
When Atiku said our NNPC was a monster which drained money from the country nd nid to be sold, lots of folks was tongue lashing. just imagine what was loss in just a year

Atiku is right...but the problem is selling NNPC means that NNPC will be operating as a private company...which means fuel prices will shoot up to N250 and beyond...because NNPC is now no longer on government lifeline.

Then Nigerians don't like government selling government companies. Some people are still angry with PDP for selling NEPA.(Despite the fact that it was obvious privatization was needed)

Freeze is right

Esepcially with copules being able to access each other's bank details.

One elderly man was admitted in the hospital where i worked with stroke some years ago. The man was unconscious. To get money to pay was problematic since the man was the only person with access to his details, and wife did not have much. Their adult son had to go to the bank with a medical report indicating his father was too sick to withdraw money from the akant...and some bank officials had to come and verify that Papa was indeed in a bad state before money was released for treatment.
