Did Palestinians tell u they are Jewish? Jewish and they are Palestinians at same time? How? where did they get the name Palestine from? who gave them that strange name?

I know of Jews in judah and Israel I don't know of Jews in Palestine. I don't know of Muslims Jews either unless they converted along the line just like Christian Jews but their history must come from Israel or judah..
Your ignorance is so obvious.

Why don't we ask your ancestors where they got your surname or how your ancestry became?

Who are Christian jews?

You have internet on your phone but you can't read. Christians are not jews!

Jews practice Judaism while Christians practice Christianity.

Do you know that the population of Israel that is Christian is about 2%.

The population of Israel that is Muslim is about 18%.

The Jew population of Israel is about 73%.

Do you now see your hypocrisy and ignorance.

You seem to be one of the Christians blinded by sentiments when analysing the Israeli-Palestinian issue. In your bible, did you read about the Philistines?

Who are you to determine the history must come from Israel or Judah?

Dangote is not running any monopoly anywhere...not in cement, not in refineries.

There are other licence holders in the refinery sector that have not started work or refused to start work. Yes, subsidy prevented them, but now subsidy is gone. Instead of attracting funding, dem go play

There are five other refineries working...then BUA refinery is coming up.

Same for cement...there is mangal, bua, ibeto, etc cement.
Let me give you an assignment:

Go and study monopoly and different types of monopolies.

Write a brief report on your findings on monopoly upon completion of your study. You can drop the brief here for all to see

Hamas is a terrorist group so we are not interested or care for the Hamas group.

We are interested and care about the ordinary Palestinians. Their lives matters too.

I am not pro Hamas, in fact I am anti Hamas. However, I am pro Palestinian Nation.

Oga, the refinery that Dangote built was not financed by him alone, CBN gabe him dollar discount and NNPC also have their share in it. Unionisim has been in existence for a long period of time and just because the man is capitalist, he will never accept anything unionisim be it NUPENG or others.
The reality now is that our useless govt has failed us leaving us to the mercy of the monopolist Dangote.
Nigerians don't learn just because of free delivery, everybody is singing praises of him.
Why can't he bring down the price of cement after all all the materials are all locally made. I weep for the ignorant Nigerians
Government didn't fail Nigerians on this matter, in fact the government has taken the right decision.

It is a free market, government is trying not to influence or control the market.

You should expect the market forces, which includes pressure groups like the NUPENG and PENGASSON, to act. That is what you are seeing so don't blame it on government.

Chief, please advise those major importers to come together and build their own refinery in the country too so they can break his monopoly.

Secondly, must all truckers join only NUPENG? Can’t there be other unions different from NUPENG; that also defend truckers interests?

What role did NUPENG play in these moribund NNPC refineries all these years and they never for one day come out to cry out about what is going on there instead you guys went against selling of the refineries because your greed and corruption.

NUPENG is fighting a selfish battle here; someone is unilaterally changing the oil and gas sector for the better and you all are ganging against him.
Your advice to major importers "to come together and build their own refinery in the country too" is very plausible and sound.

Yes, there are other unions in the petroleum industry but the strongest and prevalent unions are NUPENG and PENGASSON. You can ask anyone in that industry. So yes, it is expected that all truckers must join strong unions, like NUPENG, to protect their rights and welfare.

Again, NUPENG is a pressure group union, it is not a manufacturer or producer or importer of petroleum products; NUPENG owns no petroleum refinery. NUPENG didn't go against selling refineries, they only insisted that the jobs, salaries, welfare, retirement benefits and payoff package of the staff be recognized and captured in the deal with the buyer of the refineries - outline the party that will give the commitment or settle the arrears and bill. The government and the buyers, then including DANGOTE, we're unwilling to discuss or capture the staff bills, remuneration, package or job, in the agreement.

If you claim NUPENG is being selfish, don't you think Dangote Refinery is being selfish too. The bottom line is that when you want to protect your interest, jobs, welfare, remuneration, benefits and prevent undue advantage from being taken against you, the other party and some stakeholders see you as being selfish.

Advice Dangote Refinery to find a way to navigate this unionism matter, it is not supposed to be an issue. It is the law in Nigeria and several countries around the world to allow unionism at labour.

The word concept of "monopoly" in dangote fuel distribution is an overstretched imagination of the cabals in the upstream industry.
It's as good as saying Transport companies like Chisco, GUO or GIG would monopolize transportation business system in Nigeria.
Dangote has money, if NUPENG feels threatened and they truly care for the welfare of Nigeria, let them form a coalition and put their resources together and match Dangote financial power bundle for bundle.
When you want to comment on such issues, do some research so your comments can be informative and understandable.

In the passenger transportation industry in Nigeria, Chisco, GUO or GIG are actually running a monopolistic cartel. For the business owners in any industry, they are capitalists and monopoly has a huge advantage for them.

However, the qualities of free market, if and only if it exists, is free entry and exit and no monopoly. In reality, you should know that there is no market in the world that completely meets those qualities.

Again, NUPENG is not a petroleum products producer, marketer or business. NUPENG is a pressure group; association of staff of organizations that are operating in the petroleum industry in Nigeria. They ultimately protect the welfare, rights and remuneration of their members. Hence, they can't be in business of refinery of petroleum products.

Dangote conglomerates thrives under monopolies.

Dangote Refinery should not prevent staff from unionism. However good the intention of Dangote Refinery is for the staff, the refinery will still utilize the lack of unionism to take undue advantage of the staff.
PoliticsRe: Why DAPPMAN’s Outdated Business Model Crumble Against Dangote Refinery – Otedola by Wallade(m):
I agree that Dangote Refinery is not a problem; it is a big solution.

I also see your analogy on DAPPMAN being obsolete and the gradual extinction of Tank Farms in the Nigerian market.

However, a good understanding of Dangote conglomerate would reveal that his businesses thrives on monopolies - he wants pure monopoly of the downstream petroleum products market in the interim.

This will make it very difficult for new entrants into the petroleum refinery business to compete with his structures and dominace..

Dangote Refinery efforts to prevent her staff from Unionism is simply to totally influence and control the activities of her staff and prevent external influences - this can be good but the flip side is when Dangote Refinery takes advantage and exploit the staff, which will happen because Dangote Refinery is a capitalist organization, there will be no pressure group to defend the staff.

As for DAPPMAN, they really should look into setting up some refinery business of their own.
PoliticsRe: The Dangers Of Dangote's Free Delivery Of Petroleum Products by Wallade(m): 7:49am On Sep 22, 2025
Op, I completely understand your position and I see what you are seeing.

The ultimate interest of Dangote Refinery is to monopolize the distribution network of fuel in Nigeria. That will give Dangote Refinery an unfair advantage over other sellers or refineries.

Historically those lands have been owned by Israel and the Palestinians it's just that it has been changed due to one conflict or the other. The Roman empire decimated the Israeli state sir other foreign countries have once or at other times decimated the Israeli state in historical context so the British only tried to create a Homeland for them after the second world war when the Holocaust took place. I'm terms of a it too much what I mean is sir Israel is a state. A sovereign state with a legitimately elected Government and a constitution with a military to defend itself from external aggression.. so what they are doing is just trying to protect themselves from any attack like what we see on October the 7th when the Hamas in a well orchestrated manner launched that stack which killed approximately 1200 Israelis. So definitely the Israeli state will respond to this threat to its existence and to make things worse the Hamas would then hide in it's civilian areas just to whip up sentiments to it's favour...I have never seen this kind of suicidal strategy because those civilians will never come back. So to me it's not about wickedness but about. Responding to the actions of it's immediate neighbours.
Palestinians didn't steal Israelis land, they even vacated some land to be given to Israelis.

The British through the UN was too keen to have an Israeli nation to the extent they forgot the need to Simultaneously create a Palestinian nation too. The Palestinians too should have made a demand to have a Palestinian state as a condition for Israel to be relocated to that region when the British and UN pushed for it.

Now we have an Israeli government subjecting Palestinian to difficult life, controlling what comes into Gaza in terms of business, food, jobs, basic needs etc. We have Israel decimating the population in Gaza, grabbing lands in West Bank and Gaza and trying to force the Palestinians out of West Bank and Gaza.

That is evil and wicked.

When you violate the rules, there will be consequences and punishment to serve as deterrent for you and others that may do the same and ultimately create a precedence.

Stop being sentimental and address the issue clearly as it is:

Natasha disrupted the Senate session because her seat was changed, along with several other senator's seats - which is the norm in the Senate and a prerogative of the Senate leadership. Natasha disrespected the Senate President, who was the presiding officer on that day, she insulted him and insulted the leadership by shouting all over the house and making spurious allegations that she has substantiated till date. She was unruly on that day and that is the reason the Senate Committee on ethics and privileges was mandated to investigate her case, gave her opportunity to defend herself which she dodged and rather went to court to address but forgot that the house activities can not be stopped by the court, the Committee concluded their investigation howbeit and recommend her suspension to the Senate.

The Senate confirmed her suspension so what are you saying about the truth.

Judging by your tone, you seem quite invested in the matter, perhaps even more than a neutral observer would be. Interested party, maybe?

Did the judgment of the lower court ever state that she’s barred from returning to the Senate after the six-month suspension expires?
No, the judgement of the lower court didn't state that she can't return to the Senate after six months.

However, what you fail to understand or you deliberately ignore is that: when you appeal a judgement, you mean that you disagree with parts or entirely the judgement and when you file the appeal at the superior court, ultimately you have subjected the entire judgement of the lower court to a review by the superior court.

The effect is that the lower court judgement is suspended pending the determination of the superior Court judgement - in this case, the Court of Appeal.

It is logical for the Senate and Natasha Apoti Uduaghan to wait it out in the Court of Appeal for determination of the case filed. This is the lawful and civil approach to the matter.

If Natasha Apoti Uduaghan wants a political solution to the matter, there would be need to withdraw the lawsuit in the court of Appeal by both teams Senate and Natasha. There will be need for both parties to dialogue to resolve their grievances and move forward as a Senate.

Natasha Apoti Uduaghan is still a senator anyway, she is just suspended.

If a lower court delivers a judgment and the party is dissatisfied with the outcome, does the law not afford her the right to seek redress by appealing to a higher court
Yes, she has a right to appeal and we appreciate the fact that she exercised it.

So she has to wait this one through, pending the determination of the court case she has instituted in the Court of Appeal.

Is Natasha Apoti Uduaghan herself not ego tripping?
