I know your type well. You would rather die then admit you are wrong just to remain being perceived as smart. So, as smart as may be, you still end up coming off short..kinda like FFK, an eloquent shitbag. Your Lagos - bridging cost theory was shit, no matter how hard you hold on to it. Contend with that! Won't be responding to you again.

Well, enjoy your cheap fuel.,it;s why you love and worship Buhari. I don't. I am a realist.

Lord Buhari will soon give you N40 fuel. Reality would tell you that costs you a lot, in debt and deficit.

Kasssandra:
P.S

We have been talking about transport...we havent even touched the main subsidy thing...which government is finding difficult to pay, and has been over the years. It costs money to pay for subsides as a whole...not just bridging costs.

As at June, NNPC was saying that without subsidy, fuel would be costing between N300-400 . From the hints government has been dropping, it has been difficult to pay subsdies, and debts and so forth.
yea, i have said nothing about subsidy..just pointed out the illogicality in that statement you made in response to that question. Nothing more, nothing less.
PoliticsRe: Fuel Scarcity In Lagos: What’s Your Experience? (pictures) by Treadway: 5:21pm On Oct 25, 2022
Kasssandra:
The transporter companies also have to transport fuel to other parts of the country.

So under the current circumstances, a profit made in Lagos by transporter company Treadway, is eaten up by the losses the same transporter company Treadway makes when transporting fuel to Kano, Enugu, Owerri, Lafia and Yola, as well as Ibadan and Abuja.

I hope you get it now. If not, I can't help you. Good evening.
you can't even help yourself to start with. Which is why it is wise to pace yourself, as too much talk eventually comes with the risk of nonsense slipping in, exactly what has played out here. Cheers

Kasssandra:
It can, but the thing is, transporters don't supply ONLY lagos...that is what you guys miss...plus YOU wanted transporters to stop supplying the rest of Nigerian, and do only Lagos.

That is not how things work. Most transporters don't supply only Lagos...they supply other parts of the nation.
so the scarcity in Lagos is due to bridging costs that transporters will incur when moving petroleum product from loading points in Lagos to other states, but somehow still affected Lagos the loading point in solidarity. No be so? Lmao. This guy! Na only go enjoy this your pot of beans. Cheers.
PoliticsRe: Fuel Scarcity In Lagos: What’s Your Experience? (pictures) by Treadway: 4:13pm On Oct 25, 2022
TheAdvocate:
How is that of Abuja understandable? We have depot in almost every northern state. The fuel can be pumped up north and moved by truck to Abuja.
ehn, dem say due to the floods, those trucks you mentioned are finding it difficult to move the product to Abuja.
PoliticsRe: Fuel Scarcity In Lagos: What’s Your Experience? (pictures) by Treadway: 3:56pm On Oct 25, 2022
Kasssandra:
So, the transporters should focus on Lagos, and leave the rest of the country alone.....

Thanks, that means that Nigeria except for Lagos, gets zero fuel...including black marketers....

I'm not sure you would want to be the guy.....

At the end, if you were a businessman, you won't operate at a loss. That is why subsidy has to go. There is no such thing as cheap fuel...it costs money to make, transport, and sell...and people like to be paid.
still egging on. Fact remains, the bridging cost explanation does not satisfy that guy's question, at all. Lagos can still have fuel, till measures are put in place for other locations. This isn't even hypothetical, this still happened just a few months ago like I have explained.
PoliticsRe: Fuel Scarcity In Lagos: What’s Your Experience? (pictures) by Treadway:
Kasssandra:
Transporters in Lagos, also have to transport to other parts of the nation.... wrong! they don't HAVE to!

So, if you are a transporter, and you are losing money transporting fuel to Kano, or Enugu, it does not matter if you are making money transporting to Lagos...the losses from elsewhere will eat your Lagos profit.
I have been reading your posts...some of the points have some merit, while others like this one with the bolded, has obvious holes in it, but you keep egging on, providing responses from a perceived point of superior knowledge. This guy asked a very simple question, but your answer was so off the mark..if you hadn't responded you would have really saved face.

Like he said, Lagos shouldn't have scarcity due to the bridging cost explanation you gave. All the transporters need to do is focus on Lagos alone, till that is sorted out. It played out in the last scarcity which first started off with the bad fuel brouhaha that happened. Ibadan scarcity still lingered for about a month after Lagos scarcity had eased off due to the bridging cost conveying the product to Ibadan and other places outside Lagos. The solution was FG directed them to sell at 180 so the diff of 10-15 naira would sort that out. At that time, and for a long time after that fuel was cheaper in Lagos than Ibadan with about 10 naira at least. Dunno about now, haven't bought fuel in Lagos in any of my recent trips there.

Thanks. Is the one from Total a good option too?
if you don't want the Hyundai ATF, you can buy the Total Fluidmatic MV/LV (Dexron vi) ATF... specifically that! Buy only from Total filling station so you are getting the original, preferably from a mega total station so there is the likelihood they will have it in stock. Be prepared to spend comparable amount.

Please, can anyone with experience on Hyundai santa Fe (2008) if this is the right ATF to use? I just bought the car a month ago tok.
don't try it! I assure you if you use that crappy fluid, you will certainly damage your transmission. Your car calls for SPiii OR Dexron vi atf. I have it. It is 8k per litre. Quote if you're interested.

Read a thread in this same travel section yesterday, and in it there was a link to an article of a tech guy (not even director or top management o), just gigs techguy that claimed he made about 43m per annum, but still travelled for 'more'. He say he no see more money, say him earning don drop by almost half, but he see more peace onto say he fit go midnight walks (lol) ...all while reading the article, I no even ponder say whether na lie full there or na true, I was just pondering say shey no be 'ise aye' be this bayi? 43m per annum in Nigeria! I swear 2 atomic bombs will land first before I leave, because the first one may be a mistake. I would need to hear of two before I'm sure. Orisirisi. 100m in 3years of immigrating, very possible with proceeds of crime eg Hushpuppy and Invictus Obi

Atiku is mentally and physically fit to lead Nigeria to the promise land. With Atiku, Nigeria will take its rightful place among the committee of Nations.

Ps: I'm not claiming saint. I drove drunk and raced a friend in 2014, lost control and ran over a median on high speed and hit a pole with the passenger side. Only thing that saved me that day at well past 1am was God and the fact that I wore a seatbelt. If I had died, na me cause am not Naija. That day was the last time I drank to stupor. I had always been able to take 2 bottles of big stout and still be seemingly fine. Well that day I took 3, and felt confident, till it really kicked in and I made more stupid decisions.

I don't see anyone stopping Atiku from polling the highest overall votes across the country on February 23rd 2023 presidential election.
Atiku will win the North, and just settle for second highest votes in the south South, second highest votes in south east and second highest votes in the south west , and will still become President elect.
Not even Wike or his camp can prevent an Aitku electoral Victory.
The only stopping of Atiku becoming President is for the two Southern candidate to Unite.
Either Tinubu steps down for Peter Obi or Peter Obi steps down for Atiku, otherwise it is congratulations in advance to Atiku Abubakar.
The permutations, odds and reality ground are all in Atiku Abubakar favour
lol. Mushroom analysis at best. Atiku will ONLy dominate core north, albeit dragging some states with Kwaks. PO on the other hand has the whole SE, SS, NC, FCT and parts of the SW (at least 30%). I will wait and see the magic trick either Atiku or Emilokan will pull up to upset what i have just said.
TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Treadway:
This is not an issue of sham marriages and/or shady study POF. This is the whites once again showing their disdain and showing you that they can spit in your face all they want. There are two clear issues, which are valid but it is still of their own design.

Ironically, this is being championed by someone who is from an immigrant household.

First issue is they say una immigrants dey unskilled. Yep, all ye top people going to do care jobs are unskilled as far as the UK is concerned. How? You all aren't contributing enough to the GDP to justify your presence. Immigrants have to do 17x extra to get good jobs with good salary in UK standards, not naira conversion. Meaning whatever taxes you think you are paying now is not significant enough. The population is increasing due to the influx, but GDP per capita is reducing because the influx are not contributing enough to the economy due to the fact that they are in unskilled low level jobs. This is a fact, but like I said it is their own design.

Second issue, that concerns Nigerians negatively is that bar chart that was in the news last week or so. That bar chat is like a flashing neon light screaming 'these Nigerians need serious attention'. We aren't the highest number of immigrants but we have the overwhelmingly highest student-dependednt ratio, basically 1:1, while other that have almost x7 of student population have like ratio 9:1 and even higher. That is LOUD and warrant attention by any analyst. So, you see, another fact, but this one is not totally of their design, but can I blame the Nigerians who are moving their families along with them, because their true purpose of travelling wasn't studying? I would be called a bad belle if I said that, but ask yourslef if it is a lie. It is clear to them that Nigerians particularly aren't really coming for study.

Two things will happen now. One, they will still make admissions easy, but post-study will be limited to only specific fields, skills, experiences. Everyone else gets 6mth to a year PSW, after which failure to get job sponsorship, you're out. Second, they will cap the number of dependants that can come to 1 (they may limit this to just Nigeria). This will put a lot of people in a dilemma. Family man wey get wife and two children, who will be the dependent??.

Cc Jedisco I'd like to hear your thoughts on my points
