Everything news is bad news for people like you... why are you always looking for mistakes in every good news?

Because I'm not dumb like you

ShogunNoName:
Thank Yoruba people for this

Please desist from being tribal at my mentions

Bobodee09:
I wish I can post dangote statements.

What concerns dangote with smuggling?? So he should watch people buy from him in naira and go sale in west Africa countries in dollars??

Well it seems you nothing about business.

"We will track every tankers from our stations and we want to know the actual fig of liters of fuel Nigeria consume" you can go read Monday. press statement of last week monday.

Dangote cannot sell at loss whether in naira or dollars. All he wants is to sell his product irrespective of which country... He is not government... Again, NNPC lifting it doesn't prevent smuggling. Has NNPC being sole importer in recent months stopped smuggling?

Minjim:
I'm sorry deregulation, in Nigeria, means FG will continue paying and dictaing price secretly

For many years we have been hearing of "deregulation of the downstream sector" . It means that government would hands off and allow private sector play the roles...

jupiterxx:
They cannot maintain the refineries properly but they're doing something less better, appreciate them.

Appreciate them for becoming a monopoly? Marketers should be allowed to buy directly from Dangote and also to import if they want. That is what is called free market economy

Minjim:
Landing what?!

Ask that guy above that is talking thrash

Bobodee09:
What about independent marketers who keeps smuggling petrol and diesel to other West Africa for gain??

You think dangote is stupid for insisting he will only deal with NNPC.

What concerns Dangote with smuggling? Is he subsidizing his products? And how has NNPC being the only importer stopped smuggling?

[quote author=Fiscus105 post=132007466][/quote]Now tell us the landing cost of Dangote fuel

Sannisege:
so the government should not have any iota of control over a high security product like petrol? You must be joking. The price of Ordinary garri that is not regulated by the government has become so expensive no to talk of leaving petroleum products pricing solely in the hands of greedy marketer.

How does "having control" the same as monopoly? Don't you know the meaning of deregulation in Nigeria?

Fiscus105:
Common sense doesn't tell you that, the landing cost of petro in Dangote refinery is higher than market prices and that's why only NNPC can buy it now.

Did you ask urself,why other Dangote products not solely bought by federal govt but only petrol.

Tell us the meaning of landing cost please

The singular fact that NNPC is the sole distributor of Dangote petrol means that the masses will have zero benefit from the magnificent refinery. NNPC could buy at N10 and decide to sell at N100. They can still cause artificial scarcity at will and hike the price as usual. It is a very worrisome situation that a national corporation has become a distributor for a private firm whereas it cannot maintain the refineries under its watch.

Having refinery of this magnitude in the country, everything about distribution of petroleum products should be completely deregulated. Let the forces demand and supply determine price and supply...

In her mind she'll be like, "how can I spend this much doing tattoos and come and hide it?" Rock your nudity jareh

All things being equal, this is the right decision... I wish you success, Victor

This fuel price is no longer funny. You count 10k to buy only 10 liters of fuel

The protest that will rock Nigeria will not be planned nor announced. It will happen spontaneously. This one they will give one month advance notice cannot work because government will have enough time to neutralize it

Extremists will always be extremists, they don't have sense. They're everywhere in Nigeria. Getting into a fight you don't know anything about shows that you're not smart. Both Iranian government, US government, Russian government, Nigerian government and every single government you know are playing a very high profile political games that ordinary citizens do not understand and have no reason whatsoever to participate. These people who think they're fighting for Palestinians do not know what transpires between Palestinian government, their own government and the US government when they sit on round table.

Let's look at Russia and Ukraine. Both countries have lost so much blood and materials. In the end, their leaders will sit on a table, reconcile and shake hands. The people who survive the war will bear the brunt of lack, starvation and inflation while those who sanctioned the war will live in opulence. Both Ojukwu and Gowon lived life of opulence after millions of people lost their lives and properties...

The concept of patriotism is illusion. Any patriotism that is against humanity is evil. Humans should be patriotic only to humanity and not some artificial borders designed to serve the interest of the oligarchs.

It pains me to see people defending governments, regimes, countries, going to war... In the end you're just a seed in a ludo game while the rulers are the real players

If the Turkish government is against Israel's war against Palestine, they should mobilize their military and go support the Palestinians. Ordinary citizens should focus on their private lives. Now they'll enjoy watery beans till God knows when

In my humble opinion, this is a wrong move. When MNK was agitating, he was doing so peacefully. What did the FG under Buhari do? They unleashed the military on them and humiliated them through the python dance operation. Bitterness and anger was raised in the mind of these people. Those who witness the processions of MNK would tell you that the guy commanded multitude for real. The cap it all, they arrested Kanu.

Consequent to his arrest and incasseration, Simon Ikpa emerged and vowed that they won't suffer the kind of humiliation they suffered under MNK, so he took up arms against the military.

Simon Ikpa is a central authority through whom all the different militia groups can be controlled. If Ikpa is arrested several groups without control will emerge. Many of the groups will loose focus on why they were formed and start causing unprecedented chaos. Remember, giving monkey water is not the problem but retrieving your cup afterwards.... So who will these multitude of groups take orders from?

It is easy for someone to reason that without Ikpa, the military can easily neutralize the various groups...but I don't think so. If the military has fully understood the modus operandus of these people, they would have crushed them. In the absence of a supreme leader, it will be more difficult.

In my opinion, the FG should use various means to bring Ikpa to drop his radical stance. Arrest and threats is not one of them

During my undergraduate days, there was a bar in front of my lodge. We were inside the bar gisting, a guy walked in with a girl but the girl refused to order anything. When the guy asked why, she said she was hungry. Luckily there was an eatery across the road, the guy asked him to go and eat....

That incident elicited a lot of reactions...

You took her out on the 1st date and she refused to order anything, She asked you to give her the money instead so she could buy food as there is no food at home, What will you do?

My dad once told me a story when Raleigh bicycle was the shít... babes dey fall .

Then the show moved on to Honda CD 195
It was called "ogo m abiala" (my inlaw have arrived )
because once you show.. you just rev the engine.. vroom vroom.. telling everyone... I HAVE ARRIVED )

This was before VW beetle.. 504 etc.

That is life. Many girls lost their virginity because of blackberry

The V-boots, the flat boots, the 504s, the 505 evolutions, the Nissan Pathfinders, the VW Beetles, etc now belong to relics. I remember when Camry 2.2 was the master. How time flies! This is a warning message to everyone. The Lexus ES, RX, Mercedes GLK etc that are driving many people to crime will soon become obsolete. Invest your youthful days into more satisfying and fulfilling endeavors

99.9% of those arrested don't even understand what symbolism stand for nor even have any idea the implications of their actions. The money you guys would have invested in sound education will now be spent on taking care of prisoners and wasting court infrastructures.

"...they don't build schools anymore, all they build is prison prison". RIP Lucky Dube

You see, even money cannot guarantee protection... RIP ma

For the two guys, enjoy your watery beans for the rest of your lives.

This is a lesson to all those young people looking for easy way out. You may not be alive to enjoy the fruit of your "labor". Our forefathers knew how to do Okeite yet they refrained from doing them. A word is enough for the wise

I'm very sure 90% of this students loan will not be paid back

Your relationship with the company and colleagues would determine what you should do. I once had a job in a very toxic organization. One day around 12 noon I stood up, took my bag, while at the door I told my colleagues goodbye. Meanwhile a certain job I did earlier, farewell party was organized for me when I resigned even though I lasted only one year....

So if you have a right hand man in your place of work, inform him tonight that you're quitting; not everyone deserves surprise. As for management, if your appointment letter doesn't mandate you to give one month notice or you can bear whatever consequences...fvck them...

On the pages of newspaper and NTA channels.

By the way, where is nwamaikpe and that damn nigarr guy? I'm sure a mod must have banned nwamaikpe for 600 years. I miss that guy

EyeCumInPiece:
Keep quite. Who asked for your epistle.
You must be one of those miscreants that collected handouts to counter the protest.

I know there are no elders in your family so I'll forgive you

This protest is dead on arrival. You can't stage a successful protest after giving government one month notice. They will sabotage it in more ways than one. A successful protest is spontaneous. It's abrupt.

Secondly, the owners of the media, the owners of all the touts...are still the same ones at the federal government.

My advice? This is not GEJ's government where civility and democracy reigned. This government will be so brutal to any perceived opposition; protesters.... they're already mobilizing EFCC, police, army, media etc.... So respect yourself and protest some other times

Everywhere wahala

We are so used to African time that we're surprised when someone keeps to time

After searching for job that hot afternoon, I stopped under a shade for rest. Beside the shade, a man was digging a pit. From all indication he was distressed. I engaged him in a conversation only to discover that it was a must that he finished the pit that day and he was already exhausted. We negotiated, I removed my cooperate wear and jumped into the pit. This was my chance of getting transport money.

I used all my strength and dug in very quick succession till I passed out. I managed to sit... For 30 minutes I didn't get myself. When I finally recovered, luckily the man came around and got pure water for me. I now did the remaining job gradually.


Second one.
That boring morning, me and my guy were galavanting around the village looking for what to do. A man asked if we could carry timber for him. We accepted without knowing what is involved. To cut long story short, after work for the day; carry timber from the forest to main road, crossing rivers and climbing hills, our pay was not able to take care of our transportation. The man pittied us and paid for our return

ChybuzzDD:
Drop what you want to drop, bros. If people don't read/comment on it today, they'll do so tomorrow, next year or in 2100.

Meanwhile, i have a residential building(2storey) that's approaching the roofing stage.

What roofing sheet would you recommend: long span, step tiles or stone coated, assuming finance is not a problem?

If finance is not a problem, stone coated tiles is the best

I will no longer be dropping part 2 since no one is interested in the part ,1
