Can you share the way around it

Walspring:
Yes there is and it’s manual account registration for you via their system.

I do have the same issue of been unable to register to book an appointment. It is my first time of registering BUT I keep receiving the error. Any suggestion on how to get around it?

Walspring:
Sorry you won’t be able to create account yourself or do it that way on the CGI portal, It will need to be done manually.

The system is seeing your details as duplicating another account details since you have account before but if you don’t at all they will to override it manually for you.

Op. Correct the topic

We await the remaining part of the story on frontpage.

Like people, whole countries can have pre-existing conditions. A particularly insidious one is oil dependency, which can leave a state destitute at the very moment it requires all its strength. In recent years, crises in Venezuela and Libya have sent shockwaves through the global oil market. The country to watch in this year of Covid-19 is Nigeria.

Late last month, the International Monetary Fund approved $3.4 billion of emergency funding for Nigeria. Official figures suggest the spread of Covid-19 there has been low. But as analysts at the Council on Foreign Relations point out, only about 12,000 Nigerians out of a population of more than 200 million had been tested as of two weeks ago. Last month, the disease claimed Abba Kyari, the powerful chief of staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, a political bombshell. Meanwhile, there is no denying the pandemic’s impact on oil, which accounts for roughly 10% of Nigeria’s economy (more on that figure below).

While Nigeria has supplied more secretary generals of OPEC than any other country — including the current one — it is also among the group’s weakest members. Nigeria has ranked lowest within OPEC in terms of oil export revenue per capita virtually every year this century.(1)


As Nigeria’s population swelled, oil production dwindled. Helima Croft, a former CIA analyst who now heads global commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets, recalls the years just after the 9/11 attacks. Nigeria, having recently transitioned out of military rule, was regarded as a potential “fulcrum of U.S. energy policy,” supplying more barrels from outside the Middle East. Back then, it produced more than two million barrels a day, of which about 40% was shipped to the U.S., and Croft remembers projections at the time for production to double.

Things didn’t work out that way.

“Nigeria’s challenge, that pre-dates Covid by at least a decade, is lack of investment in the oil sector in Nigeria,” says Matthew Page, an associate fellow at Chatham House, a London-based think tank, and former U.S. intelligence expert on Nigeria. Unrest in the Niger Delta since the 1990s intensified after 2003 with attacks directed increasingly at oil infrastructure. This, combined with persistent corruption, deterred foreign oil companies(2). By the mid-2010s, with shale oil starting to transform the Atlantic oil market, there was even less reason to invest in Nigerian barrels. President George W. Bush was the last U.S. president to visit a country whose oil supply is no longer viewed in Washington as critical; President Donald Trump slapped immigration restrictions on Nigeria in February. The Covid-19 crisis, coming amid mounting expectations of peak oil demand anyway, means even less incentive for foreign oil companies to deploy scarce dollars there.

Oil sits at the nexus of Nigeria’s politics, economy and security. Even though it accounts for only about one-tenth of GDP, it generates more than half of government revenue. And government revenue can also be thought of as a form of oil, greasing the complex machine that is Nigeria: more than 200 million people split among more than 300 ethnic groups(3), encompassing Islam and Christianity and spread across 36 states. While the economy is relatively diversified, many Nigerians rely on subsistence farming or work for the civil service. Nigeria is estimated to account for one in seven of the world’s very poorest people.(4) Outside of Lagos, large parts of the country rely heavily on oil-funded allocations from central government. Peace deals with militant groups are sealed with cash. And the government funds security forces fighting Boko Haram’s jihadists in the northeast of the country.

“Where this becomes problematic, in terms of socio-political dynamics, is that oil money is one way in which Nigeria smooths over its poor governance and its lack of services,” says Judd Devermont, who directs the Africa Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank. “Nigeria’s always been very effective at managing one or two crises at a time,” he adds — before listing the current slate of issues: the oil crash, Covid-19, Boko Haram, clashes between farmers and herders in Nigeria’s middle belt, an uptick in unrest in the northwest.

Despite its fault lines and weaknesses, Nigeria has endured multiple crises in the past. What’s different this time is the sheer multiplicity of problems against a backdrop of weak oil prices — and at a time when the medium and long-term health of the oil market is already in question. In a forthcoming essay for Chatham House, Page lays out a grim set of cascading effects whereby the government, with all of $72 million in its rainy-day fund, can’t cut checks to state governments, which in turn can’t pay the obligations they’ve built up on the back of oil money. And it’s all too easy to imagine a vicious circle developing whereby the government struggles to pay off militants in the Delta region, who then resort to the old tactic of disrupting oil supply, thereby exacerbating the lack of funds.

The risk of economic and political disruption in Africa’s biggest oil exporter is rising. Today’s market, choking on its own supply, may not particularly care right now.

But Nigeria’s situation, although it reflects the country’s unique characteristics, also shares something in common with other petro-states. It’s an inherently fragile system — beset by corruption, regular bouts of violence, economic mismanagement and weak institutions — that has been held together with oil rents. At the other end of the scale, Saudi Arabia has a far healthier oil industry; a more cohesive state; a smaller, wealthier population; and a giant rainy-day fund. Yet it also faces potentially existential challenges to its oil-funded model.

The crisis for Nigeria isn’t so much that oil prices are low; rather that it is hardwired for much higher prices. The oil market’s slow-burning crisis is that so much of its supply depends on such countries.

Nice. I also think they should introduce levies for those parking on the streets. Imagine a face I face you house without parking lot and almost all the tenants using 1 room have cars and park on the street. Funny enough, some of them use the car once in a month.

redsun:
He should introduce road tax too to deter people from buying cars they don't need. Abandon vehicles should be left in personal drive or junkyards.

DCmonster:
And wtf are you to ask me that?

That question is for you because you sound so unintelligent. You have also confirmed that with this quote. There is no need quoting you anymore. I already know the level of your reasoning

DCmonster:
Islam is a shitty religion practiced by socerer, herbalist, occultist and all sort of criminals. If the founder is a pedophile and a blood thirsty criminal.

Did you say same when you read it happened in a church as well.

Lilimax:
I see a lot of people saying that this is not acceptable in islam.
I dey hear una!
The same pattern with what is happening in Kaduna and Katsina States
How come some Muslim Clerics are the ones in charge of them??

Oh God, i thank you for the freedom I have in Christ Jesus!
I am not in bondage in the name of religion

But it was reported that it happened in a church as well. Why are you bias.I think you should criticize the act in general and not choose side with a religion.

Carmit:
Is this actually an Islamic practice
Like is it accepted by the Qur'an?
I'm confused.

But a report confirmed it also happened in a church in Lagos

Guys, please which tokunbo Toyota car can I get for a budget between 1.4m and 1.5m. Though I am more tilted towards 1.4m
Note: It's for personal use and I don't mind hatchbacks.

Also Civic man should not bother to reply because am not interested.

I also don't want a big daddy, am tired of it.

Cc Gazzuz, radautowork, eherbal, chilex8, everybody.

Why are you just showing the true pictures? Were you paid to upload the former set of pictures?

AutoJoshNIG:
These are photos of the Oshodi-Airport road.

These pictures were taken a day after the road was commissioned by President Mohammadu Buhari.

The Oshodi-Airport road is a gateway into the country. It connects Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) to the Oshodi axis of the state.

Tragically, for decades, that stretch of road remained a national disgrace.

Though a Federal road, the project is being handled by the Lagos State government.

On May 2017, and with facilitation by Vice President Yemi Osibanjo, the federal government finally gave the approval for the Lagos State government to commence a total reconstruction of the road.

Interestingly, from the photos, it is quite evident that the Oshodi-Airport road – just like the equally commissioned Oshodi transport Interchange - is far from completion.

The rationale behind commissioning this uncompleted road project is yet to be established.

Even more befuddling is why the President agreed to participate in this apparent show of shame.

The Oshodi-Airport road construction project is being handled by Hitech Construction Company Limited.

Mjosh1000:
So today check engine light came on, I was so worried about it, I decided to visit a mechanic for diagnosis, d mechanic guy said 3k to check code, what!!! I repeat, oga dats too much nah, he said 2k last with anger I drove off, straight to ikeja, got a car scanner for 3500, diagnos car my self got 2 code, p0505 and p0456, jejely drove home to read what's up with car, will take car tomorrow to mechanic to fix. The guy wan rip me off, this is the 21st century.
I advise car owners to get a scanner instead of paying in necessary money to just scan the car.

Where in Ikeja did you buy the scanner?

kboycrew:
My Guy don't be deceived he is a bad governor. Today we have pot holes all over Lagos, blocked drainage, Street refuse everywhere, Okada invasion, over grown lawns, and abandoned projects everywhere. All the legacies of Fashola are lost in just 3years. He would have wrecked Lagos if he had returned. That Agege bridge has been abandoned since. He promised December yet nothing is moving in Lagos.
we that we leave here in Lagos cant wait till May to sweep him out of Lagos. Can you imagine just little pots holes that could be fixed by Lagos Public works are left to expand which destroys entire roads causing unimaginable traffic daily. My travel time has increased by 1hour so i now spend 5 hours in traffic daily.
Pls leave Ambode out of our lives. he is a total failure

God bless you for your analysis. People that stay out of Lagos don't understand.

Good

MRLANNISTER:
Was that why he failed? Is that why we have so much traffic? Is that why Lagos is not working under him. Spare me the bulls**t. Why not take a clue from Fashola that he tried to "erase"!!!

Thanks you. He knows so little about governance. Tinubu should also be blamed for bringing such incapable hand

This does not justify being a mess as a governor. He understands very little about governance

alstarmayo:
I'm on both 'taxify' and 'lite' and 95% of my trips fall under lite

How do you belong to both at the same time.

Ishilove:
Ambode's government has been an unmitigated disaster, whether this offered story to explain this BRT development is real or just a cover up for something more sinister.

The white elephant projects for the sole purpose of siphoning money has been the order of the day, ubiquitous bad roads, serpentine traffic caused by these bad roads, ugly refuse heaps dotting the once almost pristine landscapes, roadside trading, yet more traffic caused by road side trading, increased air pollution (I now suffer chest pains and constant catarrh), multiple taxation, overall stuffy, dirty and uncomfortable environment has made life more unbearable in Lagos than it has ever been since I was born.

I just want this incompetent governor that took Lagos back several years to get the hell out. He is a thief and and a failure!

Very concise report on Ambode. Please make it available on his Twitter handle. The man is a simply a mess. Uncompleted projects everywhere.

emerged01:
Why involving Tinubu? Ambode cannot rule Lagos. During Fashola keke napep doesn't operate beyond 7pm in VI,but since Ambode came in they operate till dawn. In VI,come and see Aboki Agbero causing nuisance. Ambode has made lawlessness to take over every where.

You hit the nail on the head. Lawlessness returned since he took over. Take oshodi for example, apart from the haphazard road construction and bad road that causes holdup, commercial buses and other lawless motorists just turn at every available space, thereby causing holdup. Meanwhile, lasma officials gather to gist.

GAZZUZZ:
YES

Hi Gazzuzz, I use a Toyota Camry 2003 and want to know if the oil you sell is recommended for it. If so
1. How much is it and how do I get it from you. I need it tomorrow.
2. Which oil filter will be suitable?
3.How much is the coolant you sell.
I will appreciate your reply ASAP

toomush:
Your phone is it 4g enabled?

Yes

Tgiirl:
The former is the normal fare.

Second is incorrect. Network was disconnected along your route. It often happen

Thanks for the reply. What do I do to avoid such next time.?
Even if I buy a mifi for backup, Is there a way to use both phone network and mifi 2gether to solve such issue.
If so which mifi do you recommend, I use Etisalat on phone.
I will like your reply ASAP since I can still get mifi in computer village b4 they close.
