My bro help me ask them oh. Only zombies Don, t know this. The local dollar rate is our problem, apc should raise an economic team to fix dis.

emmie14:
And since we import finished product, crude was above $100 per barrel currently a barrel is sold for about $60. How come the landing cost raise to #171 per litre?, or because of local dollar rate which is still APC lapses.

You must be a marketer, or a zombie. Do you actually know the effect price increase will have on the cost of other commodities etc for a country where 2/3 of the people live on less than a dollar a day. The problem is dating we have vision less leaders. They go to other countries and see how things work. In Europe how many people use their cars?because they have a good transport system. I never for once used a cab while I was in Europe cos I always had to go by train. If our rail system was working we wouldn't, care if the petrol price was deregulated or not has it won, t have adverse effect on the economy. If u, really able to afford petrol u use ur car but if u, re not den u go by train simple.

FakoMaybach1:
Let market forces affect this fuel of a thing,, so that alternatives will come out....if it is 500 per litre let it be, let it be available

Then google it.

BeansAndBread:
That's a big lie

How do u know it, s not the governor dat is actually promoting the group so that they can get more votes from non indigenes. Children all over nairaland.

MrMaestro:
They love to think they're smart and slick, but it's so easy to see right through them.

Joshrob:
against Brighton abi..yeye dey worry you

All these advantages you have said is definitely on the long term. You and I know food prices, cost of living, transportation will definitely move up in event of a total deregulation.

2.with the way bodies like nupeng, ipman and pengassan hold the country to ransome in the event of strike I Don, t think market forces will be able to bring the price down as it will still be regulated by this associassions. U and I know Nigerians.

3.The current problem is as a result of high exchange rate and only if this can be tackled price of refined petrol will be on the high side. Building refineries or attracting fdi into the country is a long term solution.

4.we need to reduce our dependence on petrol by introducing a good transport system, making our rail transportation effective, building good mono rail transport system in cities. These are infrastructural development we expected this government to take loan and embark on.

9jakohai:
Here is why we should have deregulated....

All this talk of how much subsidy fg is paying per day is all in a bid to increase pump price after yuletide. Well Nigerians should brace up for fuel price increase next year and forget about their lies.

Philistines are the present day Palestinians. Read history

Ladyhippolyta88:
Tell that to the people that believe in the bible and call it heresy.I never said the Palestinians did not oppress the Israeli's you seem to be looking at the story of the Phillistines.What happened as a result of oppression between the phillistines and ancient Israeli's is not the cause of today's matter.The thing is this they migrated and came back and the Palestinians have been there under jordanian supervision,the Israeli's want to claim everything even when they know that it is not possible and they are using force and oppression to supress the Palestinians. whatever they lay claim to so do the Palestinians have a right to lay claim they don't want to sit down and discuss in a round table instead they want to use force.They oppressed them but they should come and sit down and discuss a two state solution.

My friend understand that there are 3 main religion in Israel. Judahism ,Christianity and Islam. Same with Palestine. This is not about religion but about who originally owns Jerusalem. The Palestine wants Jerusalem as its capital while Israel also wants it. But according to history, the Israelites are the original owners of Jerusalem.

brainpulse:
Know fact that even these isrealis are not Christians and don't believe in Christ. Good to know we still have some Christians in Palestine.
Trump is just sent by the devil to destroy the World peace.
If the erosion ravaged cursed land of the yeast supports this magilisation of the Palestinian because they are powerless then the yeasterns deserve worst in Nigeria

The one close to his office.

uniquema:
After buying 30 litres of fuel for N20,000 you are telling us this rubbish. [b][/b]You visited some fuel stations in Abuja [b][/b]because that is the only city where the products should be. God will judge you pple

Neither are palestinians mainly Muslims, but the Arabs Muslims have suppressed other tribes and religion in which according to history they were not original owners but only conquered the land. Get your facts.

akeentech:
Why do people think Israel is a christian nation amused me. Btw JW don't celebrate X-mas so make una enjoy una man made Birthday

My guy, they would have just abstained from voting. U, re in a country of both Muslims and Christians so that is not understandable. Buhari has to be diplomatic in doing things.

kallmemrB:
Naija...Chop ,clean mouth then gboju(carry eye)

but honestly this people don't understand the backlash the Govt is gonna face if they voted Yes...We have lots of Islam fanatics that fight and blown up anything for no just cause....


You: Funny Muslim

Muslim Fanstic: Ha You Call funny Muslim abi....strap bomb immediately... them boom boom

In the news: 100 people died in a terrorist bombing


It all started from you just calling him funny Muslim....Now imagine Them moving a capital that has no bearing with Nigeria muslims but has fellow Islam Religion there

But truly I understand Buhari, s plight. But has the saying goes Wat goes around comes around. We Nigerian are our own enemies. People are just trying to make cheap gain for the festival period. To deal in Nigeria you have to be a thousand miles ahead of them.The marketers are d major source of these problem.

It could be any day but since we don't, t know d actual date Jesus was born we choose to celebrate the birth of Christ on Dec 25.As for me and my household I, m celebrating Jesus and not any pagan god.

Can, t this party just ignore PDP and face governance. Must they always react to Wat ever PDP says. They are a media government and they are afraid PDP might remove them through media. Nigerians just need the basic things of life, cheap food, good infrastructure, housing and electricity, and all these will generate jobs. Is it to difficult for them to do?

Sorry Mr man always think before writing. Tinubu only succeeded bcoz the north had one agenda and that was a non northerner will not be president bcoz it was supposed to be their turn. To win the presidency u need four regions out of the six with wide margins on three region. Now we have two northerner coming out, the pendulum can swing to any side dat is why 2019 will be very interesting. The decider will be the NC not even the SW. OK educate urself

omoiyalayi:
It is u that doesn't ve brain 2 reason with u guys keep shouting this person did this that person did that under GEJ

Does it's means there's no credible leader in s/east to lead a protest against this govt? I think u know answer 2 dat, cos it's obvious they re under performing & u ppl dnt like d president based on the vote u gave him in d last general election & he had also came out 2 prove 2 all of u too dat he doesn't like u with his 95 & 5% statement so what re u waiting 4?

You guys re coward u have no respect 4 ur leaders only waiting to eat wat others worked for, where re d igbo elites? shame on all of u

Tinubu single handedly ochestrated the plan that sacked GEJ out of asorock what is stopping s/east to do same to Buhari?

U people only knows hw 2 wail active online but in reality u re d real zombie yoruba re nt only active online but can also take 2 action when it's necessary

They actually Don, t know how to reason. Ask prof Soyinka.

Esseite:
Where are all the subsidy is a scam folks...

Where are all the "a barrel sold for $100"... now its selling for $59 and we are already screaming.. without knowing the higher it goes the more we pay for refined crude.

At last.. jonathan has been vindicated on subsidy. He claimed to pay an approx of $400m monthly. If he had punished the masses like we are now and saved that money in our treasury.. we would be hitting $80bn, but he had a sympathetic and empatetic heart.

U are a fool.

mfujah:
FG did not want to increase fuel price because even at current price... Marketers will still make money, yet nigerians still swear for federal government and President Buhari.... Hmmm some people are actually foolish

Wat u just said doesn't, t make sense. U mean if u had opportunities instead of pasting it on the forum u will only look for buhari supporters. We are different human being and we have different views. I Don, t just insult did government base on my self, by God grace I, m living well and I, m doing fine. But I know how many people I always have to help because people are suffering, no jobs, high cost of living etc and everyone can, t be wrong.

kitaatita:
It is not about me. Just be careful what you type in a forum of over three million people. Don't think that because you are hiding under a moniker you are anonymous. You'll be surprised the amount of business that were initiated or concluded on this forum. Or jobs vacancies filled. It is huge. People have met here as strangers and become friends for life. I've met wonderful people here. I can tell you that I don't need government patronage, nor jobs nor handout. And I am not abusive to strangers.

Of course they do read history.


Palestine in the ancient world was part of the region known as Canaan and, later, the region where the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah were located. Palestine is a designation of an area of land, which the Philistines occupied a very small part of (the Canaanites/Phonecians and the Israelites, among others, having established themselves in the area much earlier). The name `Palestine’ is thought to derive from either the word “plesheth” (meaning `root palash’, an edible concocotion carried by migratory tribes which came to symbolize nomadic peoples) or as a Greek designation for the nomadic Philistines. The author Tom Robbins, and others, have suggested the name originates from the ancient androgynous god Pales who was widely worshipped in the region known as Palestine. If this is so then the name of the region means `Land of Pales’. That there was an androgynous god with the head of a donkey who was popularly recognized as Pales by the Canaanites, Israelites and Philistines is known but there exists no firm documentation from ancient times linking the god to the name of the region and, most likely, the name derives from the Greek for `the Land of the Philistines’.

The Philistines (thought to be from Crete and, certainly, from the Aegean area) landed on the southern Mediterranean coast of the region known as Canaan in circa 1194 BCE after being repulsed in their invasion of Egypt (along with the Sea Peoples) by Rameses III. By 1185 BCE they had established themselves firmly in settlements along the coast known as Philistia. Other, older, settlements were already thriving in the area upon their arrival and the Philistines went quickly to work to subdue the area and benefit from the wealth there found. According to Biblical narratives, the Philistines were organized and efficient enough to cause the early Israelite tribes and cities a great deal of trouble. They were first defeated by the Israelite King David (c. 1000-960 BCE) but continued to thrive along the coast and harass their neighbors.

DerideGull:
The Philistines had no direct link whatsoever with Palestine except the geographical entity. After the Philistines came the Byzantines and finally Othman Empire. Palestine was a mere name the British Lord Belfour gave to territories seized from Othman Empire as the ally of defeated German in 1919 and mandated under British caretaker. The British Mandate of Palestine included Jordan and Israel. There was a place known as French Mandate of Syria which included Lebanon and Syria. There was British Mandate of Mesopotamian which became Iraq.

Ur area is not Abuja. Fuel queue will disappear in abuja(sorry Nigeria by weekend).

mighty2:

Who are the Palestine and where did they originate from?

My friend Jerusalem does not belong to Palestine. Be a student of history and stop coming here to display ur ignorance. Read history.

EARLY HISTORY OF JERUSALEM

Scholars believe the first human settlements in Jerusalem took place during the Early Bronze Age—somewhere around 3500 B.C.

In 1000 B.C., King David conquered Jerusalem and made it the capital of the Jewish kingdom. His son, Solomon, built the first holy Temple about 40 years later.

The Babylonians occupied Jerusalem in 586 B.C., destroyed the Temple, and sent the Jews into exile. About 50 years after that, the Persian King Cyrus allowed Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple.

Alexander the Great took control of Jerusalem in 332 B.C. Over the next several hundred years, the city was conquered and ruled by different groups, including the Romans, Persians, Arabs, Fatimids, Seljuk Turks, Crusaders, Egyptians, Mamelukes and Islamists.

Some key events with religious implications that took place in Jerusalem during this period include:

In 37 B.C., King Herod restructured the second Temple and added retaining walls to it.
Jesus was crucified in the city of Jerusalem around 30 A.D.
The Romans destroyed the second Temple in 70 A.D.
In 632 A.D., Muhammad, the Islamic prophet, died and was said to have ascended to heaven from Jerusalem.
Many European Christians started pilgrimages to Jerusalem in the 1st century A.D. From about 1099 to 1187, Christian crusaders occupied Jerusalem and deemed the city a major religious site.

motikorede:
I hate it when people try to distort history .I dnt know why I always feel sick when people like you go visceral about things you know yourself is outrightly wrong.
The wound between Palestine and Israeli is a complicated one , why should USA add salt to it. We all know Jerusalem belongs to Palestine ... Why should Israel arrogate it to themselves because they have the power to beat the former.
Think about it yourself , how would you feel if your mother give out something that's legally yours to your younger brother because you've refuse to go on an errand for her .

I almost wanted to I insult u but I will save dat.we are buying fuel at 145 Naira per liter because crude oil price is low. Now oil price is beginning to pick up reality is beginning to check in. They now have to increase price because selling at 145 is no more realistic but they, will not telling Nigerians d truth.GEJ was sold petrol at 97 Naira per liter as this our devilish apc said there was nothing like subsidy. What amazes me is the fact that Nigerians have lost their voice. By now we should be occupying Nigeria.

9jakohai:
Oil subsidy must go...

1. There were serious scarcities during GEJ'S time in office...and we did not chase him out then.
2.Reasons why we have fuel queues are simple

First, we import PMS now at 142 . Before it was at 132 naira. And we are still forcing IPMAN to sell at N145. If i was an IPMAN member, i would have hoarded too.
Second, oil prices are too low for Nigeria to adequately subsidize fuel AND increase the value of the naira. As a result, naira value is falling, meaning we need more naira to buy fuel, and more naira to get dollars to import.
Nigeria needs oil at $120 per barrel to balance the books. Right now it is at $64. (That is why we borrow to finance the budget, but that's another story).

Bubu could end fuel queues IF he removed the 'imaginary' subsidy, and allowed fuel marketers to set their prices.

YES...fuel will sell at 200-300 naira per liter.
YES...govt should have built new refineries, and gotten those modular refineries running.

BUT as investment flows in...since under deregulation, people would be allowed to make heavy profit...prices will fall, since those marketers who sell at lower prices than their competitors would make more money.

If BUBU wants to be a leader, not a politician, he should take the HARD decision and allow for deregulation.

I Don, t understand this govt. They are now trying to spend money when they just have 1 yr to go. Election things. After leading the country into recession.

So what assurance do u have that the money will not end up in some people's pocket and also not be used for election purpose. We were fooled once and cannot be fooled again. So use ur head.

opobo007:
Reno is just being clever by half, the main issue is, was the money used for the purpose for which it was approved, was there a diversion to various pockets for the purpose of PDP as a political party or the military to whom it was approved. Did Jonathan gives the directives for this money to be given to several persons outside the military or not or did dasuki who was the custodian acted alone? We need to start holding people accountable for there actions while in a position of trust in this country. A criminal is a criminal no matter his position. If this government should toll the same line of actions it's only a matter of time all there sins will be lay bear before the public.

Apc=Pdp that is why we the electorate needs to keep changing them every 4 years until we have a sane politicians that have the interest of the masses.

Was obasanjo not a military man? Was he a disaster? Didn't, t he steer d economy towards d right direction after taking over from d military (most corrupt institution) with low oil price. It just has to do with the individual. Buhari is a disaster.

humilitypays:
Do you know why everyone is saying it is because he is Igbo The answer is, with his caliber in this country, he is like the Dangote, the Otedolas, the Adenugas, etc and if it happened to be Dangote believe me, EFCC won't act the way they did. They won't even dare slap his wife for asking questions as woman she is.

Dangote has committed more tax waiver fraud and $$ waiver fraud than anybody dead or alive. He gets $$ waiver to secure $$ at CBN rate to enable him buy industrial equipments to be used in Nigeria as a way of supporting him growing Naija made brand but Dangote will secure this $$$ and then moves it abroad to invest and even sell some at black market rate. He has been doing this for years and who has arrested him


Believe me, there is Igbo phobia in Nigeria; among Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba in Nigeria just as there is Israel phobia among Arabs.

Innoson is a well known personality that can't runaway, why would efcc invade his home just like that

Believe me, efcc has been a thug association ever since Buhari came into power just like it was during OBJ.

[/b]Nigerians should stop voting retired military officers and uniform men into power under democracy, they can never be democratic....they only understand gun barrels and bullets.[b]

Both Buhari, Atiku and every other retired uniform officer don't deserve to rule Nigeria, Nigerians wake up, don't vote Buhari or Atiku as president come 2019, try a businessman, an industrialist, a retired civil servant, banker, technocrats, educationists, accountants, don't vote retired uniform men to rule Nigeria, they are all disaster to this nation since 1966

OBoy we're in 2018 almost election year and u're still talking about 2015, are you still sleeping?

Take heart

The way ameachi used fund shared from the eca to prosecute Buhari's election in 2014.

nairavsdollars:
Fayose will use the money to prosecute 2018 election in Ekiti

How has been in 97% improved ur life?Oboy go find ur level and use ur brain to make money instead of coming here to shout 5%.

When a soul lost to a s!lly failed Biafran struggle thinks his opinion count for anything in the scheme of things.
I couldn't stop laughing at distinguished himself as a vp.
Igbos are politically myopic. The other day was following about an Umuahia lunatic, today is a nincompoop like Atiku.
Sink your political future and watch yourselves reduced to 3% from 5%, better dont cry when reality speaks in loud voice.

If kwankwaso is the only person that can make Hausa Fulani use their brain and vote for another person apart from Buhari.then buhari should continue. We are not tribal bigots in d south, we just need a vibrant politician that has a democratic outlook and that can turn things around for Nigeria.

karlboss:
Pdp please present kwankwaso that is the only person that can defeat buhari
