See and hear devils talking.

With all the great vision and you controlling the state for years, ordinary water the people don't have.

Something is really wrong with Nigerians, your standards are soooo low.

Someone will carry bucket as early as 6a.m to be finding water, then walk miles back with water on their head and then come online to praise Jagagban or some other useless politician.

Another will pay for water tanker to come and load water in his tank.

The other one will drill a hole deep in his house to bring out brown water, then pay extra for filters that don't even do that good a job.


Meanwhile your mates in other countries simple open tap and drink clean water from it.

You all should be ashamed for yourselves and your children, but then again, the black man has no shame.


Honestly, if I were a white man watching all this and reading all this comments, I would think you guys were apes, like the dumbest entities in the universe.

No wonder they all look down on you cause you guys aint shhh and never want to be anything.

No wonder your ancestors were traded as commodities cause your IQ is sooooooo low, they will just tell you "enter boat" and you will just enter, meanwhile Madam Tinubu will be cashing out, maybe N10 per able bodied, low IQ slave.

lexy2014:
How is Tinubu the best choice?

Before they told you that a former coup plotter and cow herder with shaky education, was THE ONLY, not one off, no, THE ONLY MAN that could solve Nigerias problems, never mind the fact that we have Nigerians that have solved age old mathematics problems that were once hard to solve, but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,

Nigerians said ONLY A COW HERDER and GUN TOTTING DICTATOR could solve our problems.


Now they are telling you, ONLY A GODFATHER and BULLION VAN THEIF can solve our problems.


I feel like hitting my head against the wall multiple time, cause Nigerians ehn, you people annoy the crap out of me, I just can't stomach your collective stupidity.

davit:
In another news, guys brace up. Toll Gates at Lekki corridors will start performing optimally in days to come.

Gosh I hate this country.

How much toll will those greedy guys collect? How many years?

Yet the road is still trash with no lane markings and no street lights.

Another protest should shut down that illegal toll abeg.

How can someone pay N300 to be driving on laneless pothole infested roads?

We really are suffering and smiling in this country I tell you.

They now want to bring back traffic on top of everything again.

Do you see how at least no tolls eased the traffic? That traffic that used to stretch all the way to 1004 estate.

People will bash your car, you will struggle, all for the right to pay N300 to drive on a useless road.

God have mercy on us!

Iyaebe:
Yes he’s the next president and there’s nothing you can do about it

See another one, just like finding another cockroach even after you have sprayed insecticide.

You wonder were they all crawl out from.

See how all those allegations against Buhari turned out to be true, but Nigerian will still mock you saying "Shebi he is still your president ", shining their teeth like dehydrated camels.

As if we are all not witnessing all these things come to pass.

Everything is just a joke to you Nigerians.

backbencher:
We are not paying subsidy to a white man's country.

What we do is import fuel ....that we refine in bad refineries abroad to keep subsidy costs down....refined from our crude, and make NNPC sell it at a loss to keep it cheap

Subsidy money then goes to NNPC to cover its losses from importing fuel at N330 and selling it at N162.

Problem is, as cost of refining fuel goes up, the cost of the subsidy goes up.

We keep costs low by refining in substandard refineries, and 'swapping' fuel for crude..otherwise our subsidy costs would be much higher than it is.

That still does not make things better.


As for domestic refining...the threat of subsidy is what keeps out most people from refining. If government is setting your price, you won't get return on investments. Banks won't lend to you for your refinery. (Dangote can build his own, because if he does not pay back the money, the banks take over his other lucrative investments to pay themsevles back)

We are saying the same thing.

We IMPORT petrol, so obviously we paid whoever we imported from at the full price ba? Or did we pay half price?

Then NNPC sell at a loss, which is where the subsidy come from.

So why can't NNPC pay in full for products produced in Nigeria?

GAZZUZZ:
This is one of the few things a common Nigerian benefits from being a Nigerian in an oil producing country.

We are not the only country that subsidised petroleum products, the UAE , Bahrain, etc subsidize products BUT have functional refineries that refine crude.

Until the govt can refine petroleum products locally subsidy should continue.

Do you know graduates still earn ₦40,000 per month in certain quarters? Do you know what removal of subsidy will do? End sars will be child's play, the govt will give the populace a common enemy.

Meeeen, naijas problems are many.

We need to drastically cut down our population and increase our productivity, because how can minimum wage still be N30,000 and people will give birth to 10s of children.

Then there are the criminals in government. If subsidy is removed, there would be a lot of money made available to build infrastructure and sure up our currency. Would you mind expensive fuel, if it means a dollar now goes for N150? In fact you won't even know it's expensive because the currency would be strong, so that N300 fuel would really look like N100 fuel.

However, we know how they steal everything and how their supporters support them to steal all. See Tinubu with bullion vans on election eve in broad day light, as he know no one can touch him. That is the kind of country Nigeria is, filled with BOLD THIEVES, BOLD BOLD THIEVES.

See when they were still collecting toll money from lekki epe, yet the road was trash. How could that be? How could it be that you drive on THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE, a free road, yet that road has proper and brilliant lane markings, and all the street lights work, but then you pay N300 to pass lekki epe and all the lanes have all faded, plus darkness everywhere. They had stolen all the money, like everything. Think deeply about this, how much would it really have cost them to employ someone to mark lanes on that road and fix the lights? Maybe one days worth of toll collection? Maybe a weeks worth?

backbencher:
Okay here is how subsidy works in principle.

Fuel as at 3 days ago, cost N330 to bring in. We sell that fuel at N162, the money paid to cover the resulting loss is called the subsidy.

The problem is, we refine all our fuel abroad because refineries are in a bad state...and even if they were not, we would have to import some fuel

Why we refine our fuel abroad is simple...when we had refineries, initially, they were allowed to sell fuel at a profit, and then government paid part of the costs...that was the subsidy then

Then from the late 1980's, government started making the refineries sell fuel below their production cost...which meant they started losing money...but then government paid them a subsidy to cover the loss. Naturally, rising costs meant that the subsidy could not cover the whole thing...which led to our refineries breaking down and by 2011, producing 6million liters of fuel a day., down from the over 20 million they were capable of. Sabotage and corruption did the rest of the job.....because the refineries were dependent onsubsidy to survive, not profit.

So, we started importing fuel, and selling it below the production cost. Intially, NNPC was one of several importers. The number of importers kept on growing until we had a large number of them...which led to subsidy costs rising, and a lot of corruption...people making false subsidy claims on fuel not imported...till Bubu made NNPC the sole importer.

Also, to keep fuel below the production cost, we refine crude in substandard refineries abroad. That keeps subsidy costs low, but leaves us at risk of bad fuel, and even then, PMS in this country is very dirty.

So, that;s it in a nutshell.

Basically, in order to ensure cheap fuel, we sell it at a loss, and pay a subsidy to cover the loss...

Our politicians are extremely corrupt, because with all you said, it would still make sense to have a refinery at home and pay them the subsidy.

I don't support subsidy either, but if we have been paying subsidy, why pay it to a foreign country?

When it comes to paying subsidy to the white man country, their money will always be complete, but when it comes to paying subsidy for our own refineries, that is when they will tell you that their money is not complete, because it seems they would rather deal in dollars.

Also, if subsidy is removed in its entirety, then shouldn't minimum wage be raised?

Lastly, the NNPC could have a subsidy to benefit Nigerians while other companies sell at market price. So for instance, you would have an NNPC mega station selling at N165, while you would have the others like Total, Shell and so on selling at the prevailing market price, maybe N300. So the people can decide to form long queues at NNPC mega station or if they are in a hurry, go in to buy without a queue at the other stations.

like Tinubu and Atiku

God forbid bad thing. How can humans be dumber than goats?

This country needs serious leadership at every single position, leaders that are highly educated, articulate, vibrant and most importantly, God fearing

Why are Nigerians like this?

They know that if they vote these guys that things will only get worse, but they don't care, why?

I hate most Nigerians men, honestly, cause it's like their brains are switched off.


Some will now start chanting, "ON YOUR MANDATE WE STAND", God forbid!

What is wrong with you people?

chillex8:
Luck ran out on this indrive rider last night.

Trip ended 2k, oya do my transfer: She pressed my aza, called my name, and said DONE.

I said, hol up hol up. Let me confirm credit alert or show me your debit notification.
She waited small and opened the car door saying she wants to check something inside the compound.

I waited 10mins, no alert no sign of her.

I looked back where she sat and saw an iphone X.
I grinned with joy . Waited another 10mims, no alert no sign of her.

I zoomed off.

1hour later, grin grin grin on my fone.
It's her. Errrm pls where are you, I left my fone in your car.

Me- Where is my money

Rider- pls na where are you

Me- Shebi you think say u dey wise? Send my money and you will book an uber from my location to return the fone. Bye. Hung up.

Grin grin grin grin
Me- Hello, you are?

Riders girlfriend- Pls it's me riders friend . She explained what happened. I'm sorry. Where are u?

Me- I have told her to send my money then she can book another uber from my location to hers'.

Riders girlfriend- pls send your aza to her, she will do it.

Me- ok bye.

Sent my aza to her since last night, nothing nothing.

This morning, Rider calls again.
Me- It's like you are joking with me abi?

Rider- pls na where are you?

Me- Bangs call.

Fone rings again

Me- Hello, you are?

Riders Manfriend- Pls it's me riders friend. Sorry about last night. Can you send your aza to me?

Me- Ask your friend, she has it. Let her give you. I'm driving and can't type.

Rider manfriend- Pls, just send to me I will transfer your money.

Me- When I park I will send it, I'm in traffic on eko bridge heading to lekki.

Riders Manfriend - OK, thank you sir.


I'm still in traffic.
This rider wan play me wayo but amadioha no gree. Nonsense

I think we should all start telling riders to pay cash or use card abeg.

Sorry about your experience bro, but just remain professional and return the item when paid.

I had one girl yesterday try not to pay me, then she got down and I was trying to call her back, horning, shouting, until she finally hissed and came back to my car and started blasting me, “shey I’ve shown you receipt na”, hissed and walked away while I was still speaking German English telling her “beruhigen, beruhigen, I’m just saying I haven’t seen the money”.

Then I started calling and she would reject my calls and then I started calling with private number, then I reported to Bolt. Told her I have reported to Bolt and in like 10 mins I saw my money.

Was it network or her fear of being blocked? Who knows.

My own is that the app says methods of payment are cash and card, where did this whole transfer shhh come from.

Some will even ask you for money, like “bro you get 1k there...”, so imagine if that guy come scam you on top fake transfer again. So you’ve lost petrol, you’ve lost time, you’ve paid bolt commission, and don’t forget, you also dashed the guy your 1k, chai

Why am I carrying all this change if it’s not gonna be useful? Or am I gonna buy 200 naira petrol?

I hate this transfer bullcrap for real.

Although no one has cheated me or not transferred since I started driving, it has sometimes taken a lot of stress and calls to retrieve my money, which is just totally unnecessary.

Or should I start saying I don’t take transfer or maybe I will tell them I don’t have Bank.

eyinola:
my thoughts too.. and why na only bolt dey shut down by 12am , I guess they don't know their rival uber now works 24/7

But, but, there is still curfew na

Abi?

This Naija police fit remind person for night say them never lift curfew

Wow!

This is bad!

Running diesel gens now is so expensive, but they don’t make petrol gens big enough for large power output needed for bigger homes and businesses.

Add to the fact that our currency is losing value.

God please make a way.

Yet some Nigerians are still shouting Tinubu and Atiku.

May God help us!

So if you want to buy ordinary 10 liters of diesel for your gen, that’s already N5,500.

michael1508:
Please let's separate God and politics,we are victims of the choices we made

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.“

Some things are immutable facts of life!

God: Someone that has been in and out of jail for the benefit of Nigerians, do you Nigerians want him?

Nigerians - noooooooooo!

God: Why not?

Nigerians: Because he hasn’t stolen enough.

God: I see!

Nigerians: See ehn, we need a big thief that can shake the table, not all these small boys.

God: Okay, what about an intelligent man or woman who is already rich, from the private sector and not from political thievery?

Nigerians: no, he must be a thief.

God: what about your development my child? Wouldn’t you like to have access to water, stable power and a thriving economy for you and your children?

Nigerians: As long as a thief from my tribe is there sir, we will manage.

God: okay then, I am here for you should you ever change your mind.

The black man is just something else, but the Nigerian intensifies all the negative qualities of the race.

I have cried to God asking why our people are this way.

So you are telling me that people will use their hands to cast votes for two crooks again? They would even be happy about it.

Don’t we ever look back and go through the results?

Like okay, so you guys that forced Buhari on us, what are the results as of TODAY?

Is your passport today more respected? Did your savings not lose value by more than 50%?

Desperate Nigerians are even volunteering to fight in Ukraine just to escape the country.

I thought the devil was evil, but it seems some Nigerians are the very definition of evil like that freestuffng guy.

Very wicked people in this country, that want nothing more than to see people suffer.

Your tears bring them joy, but you may not understand why.

Remember MMM?

Few warned, but the majority was just shouting, and shouting, that we don’t understand “get help”, chai!

Nigerians!

Honestly though, what is wrong with us?

Someone will come and attack me but check well,

That person has no public water,

Has no electricity

....

Yet that person will come and abuse me because I’m saying you shouldn’t suffer, you don’t deserve to suffer.

Chai!

Thick headed Nigerians

See why I said Nigerians are the most daft creatures on the planet?

I mean it’s so obvious for all to see.

Here they are, already willing to add to their sufferings, men you guys are strong sha, I give you that.

Not to bright, but strong, because you all have a way of enduring every hardship bestowed upon you and even asking for more, more more!

“More hardship please”, the foolish Nigerians asked.

aribisala0:
Well there is a difference between fantasy and reality

Reality is that they are not in the race and that is not a realistic strategy of getting a young president

That is just wishful and with respect childish thinking

I remember what Wike said a few weeks ago.

Our politics does not happen on television

Let me tell you the real difference between fantasy and reality.

It would be a reality that your children will grow up poor in Nigeria, while you live in a fantasy supporting old thieves that can’t even get you water to take a bath.

But a shameless man like you doesn’t even care.

chillex8:
There will be no need. Those guys have tampered with their dispensers.

They have indeed, and my car is even jerking small.

It’s just that nowadays we have little choice but to buy where we see

So in essence, the first family have all “JAPA”

BMC wasn’t invited though

They are needed for mission critical back in the jungle. So you might see them in the queues as well.

Naija, what a country!

They told us change begins with us - okay na

What’s the other one sef?

Buy naira to grow naira? I don’t know again

Who remembers the N20 milo, hehehe, oh my days

Nigerians are just special people.

Rugaria:
This is the net consequence of watching too much CNN and BBC. This is what mental colonialization has done to the biggest black nation on earth. Operation brain phuck!
This is what Bob Marley was wailing about, when he asked the black man to "emancipate yourself from mental slavery"..
The people you are going to die for don't rate you. The war you're jumping into, you know nothing about..

This is how our grand fathers went to fight in British wars against Germany in all sorts of places in the name of fighting the World Wars. When it was all over, the only people being celebrated as heroes of these wars are the whites and no mention is made of the black Africans who put down their lives for a fight they knew nothing about..

I have said it here many times, we need to have our own CNN, our own Al Jazeera, our own Press TV... This is a question of national security. Africans need to be exposed to world events based on pro African narratives... Because, As long as millions of black people in Africa depend on western sources for their primary sources of information, so long will their mindsets be messed up in all sorts of wrong ways... You have never volunteered to fight for Congo Kinshasa who has been fighting against a western induced war for over a decade now. A war that has killed over 6 million people. But you want to fight for Ukraine...

Ndi volunteers..

This is not cnn or whatever bros

This is all about Nigeria being a useless country and the need to escape, simple.

proclinician:
Comrade at least pity me na. Me was supporting Atiku/Obi oo. U need pity us oo

But why are you supporting Atiku?

Nigerians una suffer never do abi

BAZ001:
The weather is something else.
It’s sunny here and yet still very cold outside. Snow taking forever to melt.

Congrats men!

From Hot Eba, to Hot fries!

See people buying petrol in car plus 3/5 GIANT kegs.

I was like are these ones bolt drivers that are planning their future or is this for gen.

After paying 500 to enter, yet, they still short me about 1000 petrol.

So I am down N1,500 just to get petrol in my tank.

Anyways, since we all love to suffer and smile, let me smile since I now have petrol again.

I don’t even know if I should use this “expensive” petrol for Uber/Bolt or just maintain myself in case this scarcity lasts months.

It is true that AP Oniru are scammers and I would never buy there once this fuel scarcity ends.

I just bought from them now, 54 liters and my 60 liter tank is not reading full.

Keep in mind, I had about 5 liters left in my reserve.

I will withdraw this comment if my tank rises to full tomorrow, but if not, then indeed they are scammers.

Viking07:
Are your scores still dropping? I’ve figured out a loophole. Your scores will be going upwards henceforth.

Abeg share bros

GeneralZodd:
HOW TO AVOID FUEL SCARCITY LONG QUEUE

1. After working for the whole day, do not go home drive around the vicinity you find yourself, look for a safe standard filling stations that has fuel to sell next-day.

2. Park your car at the doormouth of that filling station till following morning to avoid joining long queue the next day..

3. Eat your dinner and sleep inside the car till next day

4. Wake by 4am to position yourself to be first to be attended to when they start selling

5. Buy full tank and if possible extra 50 litres in Jerry can that will serve you 2-5days depending on how u work. (50 litres for top up)

6. After buying fuel, go home and refresh and rest for sometime before you start Work.

7. Repeat 1- 6 when exhaust your fuel.

God have mercy!

GeneralZodd:


Tesla cars would ve made more sense this period

As in ehn bros.

Forget the money aspect for a sec, just imagine having 400 kilometers of pure electric power.

We have a small 2kw solar setup at home, so I would still be able to charge it small small even if there is no light.


Unlike petrol vehicles that always idle, you won’t burn energy sitting in traffic, besides the power draw from the air conditioner, and accessories, because the motors aren’t spinning.

Plus it is so much more efficient than petrol vehicles, costing so little to go 1 kilometer vs petrol cars. Last I checked, it takes about 250 watts to do a mile in a small Tesla, which is incredible. So if you have a 20 amp supply at home, you can put 16 miles/25km per hour, while you are sleeping, and you wake up to an almost full car.

Then obviously, you are not buying oil, filter, plugs, and the rest.

Anyways, it’s just unfortunate that the prices are still too expensive for now.
