Foreign AffairsRe: Honduras Threatens To Expel U.S. Military If Trump Carryout Mass Deportation by Westman001: 9:32pm On Jan 04, 2025
dominique:
So undocumented immigrants from their country should continue to constitute nuisance in the US?
The threats she even gave carries zero weight. It surprising she said she would expel them as if her government is the one paying the soldiers salaries and welfare.

The best response Trump can give if I am him would be, "Thank you, please expel them so they can give a hand on removing the illegal immigrants from your country.

@DemonSlayer, LegendHero and Metrofox you remember I made this claim that time. We argued about it you thought I was being too much.

Wotoporiously cool speaking

Chelsea played absolute rubbish after the first goal they scored, why Maresca no dey always sub people on time, Palmer and Sancho had no business being on the field for the second half, and can we talk about cole Palmer always switching off in games and in general Chelsea always switching off after they score first in a game, damn this team sha.
You made my point.

It's stupid to start game management wen you're 1 ahead. The players switched off except Neto and Cucurella, as if they won the game already.

After Fulham equalized, you See how they started attacking and playing aggressively with the same spirit they started the game with.

Nice one

This Marco silva team played very well

Chelsea needed to be beaten

They have become too lackadaisical

Very good one

Realty don set in

Premier league no be beans
Exactly...too lackadaisical.

They switched off as they scored. See how they started playing aggressively and attacking as Fulham equalized. Looking for goals.

A reasonable team would continue attacking and find goals until the game ends. You play to score 3 or 4 goals then you start game management. You don't manage game when you're 1 ahead.

Palmer will get ball and pass it backwards when normally he would have attack.

And Maresca refused to change players. Palmer is tired, playing like the game is won already. Jackson should have leave by 60min mark. Sancho is not getting impactful. Gusto is tired too.

DemonSlayer:
My brother, I'd be the happiest person if PMS sells for under N500. I agree with you about the human tendency to maximize profits and to take it too far. It's not just a Nigerian thing; it's ingrained in the human spirit, only curtailed by market forces or policy interventions.

However, in pointing this out, let's not make hasty conclusions that could be misleading. There's no benefit in vilifying a business or individual unjustly—especially one that has achieved what none other has achieved in the country and infuses the sector with much needed competition.

That said, I'm not absolving Dangote of anything. I'm simply asking, in the interest of knowledge and to set the facts straight, that you explain how it's possible for Dangote, or any refinery, to sell at the price you mentioned. A man who makes a claim should substantiate it, I'm sure you're aware that burden of proof is on the one who makes a claim. It would be very enlightening if you could spell out how this stunt can be pulled off in concrete terms. I'm open-minded and keen to learn from you.

Regarding the Indian market situation, I brought it up as a backdrop to better understand what's achievable in a similar market, not to serve as a definitive model for us.
Like you response.

You got my points. It's human ingrained and a reasonably working country can curtail that with good policy intervention and implementation.

None of us can spell it out except you work at the finance Department of Dangote Petrochemicals.

Intention of my comment is not to villify Dangote. It's a general understanding of our society. And only transparency can give peace on that side which many companies is very scared to give, transparency.

LegendHero:
I also agree he can still sell below for profit. When he first started diesel too, he keep beating the price down from his intial price.

However, selling for N500 will be an overkill. Without subsidy, I doubt he will make any profit selling at that low rate. Most countries that sell lower are heavily subsidizing the industry.

Standardized general cost of refining a liter put it within $0.4 to $0.7 range worldwide. Let's now say Dangote is using the lowest cost of $0.4, that is still over N600. So how exactly did you guys arrive at N500 figure?
I understand you.

But if you check it again you still hear the government saying subsidy is still going on within. You must have hear it.

I and my boss had a meeting with one of the directors at FMdQ earlier this year ad the man mentioned that subsidy ain't gon.

You see this country is a shit hole. My eyes was opened and I stopped defending this country a long time ago.

Metrofox:
I think you guys are not even factoring the Naira devaluation in your arguments and it is really funny. You think naira is still 200 to a dollar or what? Really funny. If petrol is sold for 400 naira or even 500 naira convert to dollar and compare with global production price
What are you saying Metrofox.

We all know what Dangote said before the Refinery start producing. We all know the expectations.

We all know how we were calm that our fuel price is like that because we don't have a refinery. We use dollar to export our crude to be refined and still use dollar to import it back for consumers.

Now tell me do they still carry out crude outside to be refined. So you are saying they still trade this crude within the nation using dollar.

Don't defend this people if you don't have all the data. A lot of people are using the situation of the country hugely for their gain. We see it in our community and Dangote Group is not left out. A lot of people use that Tinubu poorly subsidy removal to push for their greedy benefits.

Why do you think Igbos are not moved by all that is going on by Tinubu government.

You are 100% right. I just don’t know why some Nigeria are just too greedy I have been buying spaghetti for 1500 in my area for some months now about some days ago I went to the market to buy some other things and I try to buy the spaghetti they said 1100 I now realize the mama blessing as been cheating me imagine making 400 naira profit on top just one spaghetti wen I confronted her she was saying hen transport to go market and come back nko I ask her if nah just one spaghetti she go buy if she go market…. People are just wicked and heartless
You understand.

And @ LegendHero, Metrofox, DemonSlayer. That responded to my comment. My question for is, "Do you have all the data"

I gave my response on what we all experience in our various communities, how folks make above profit margin. Something that would be 70 they will close it to 100 because they don't want to be stressing theirself for change. If these people do beyond margin like that what gave you the assurance that top people don't do that.

Don't do calculations for Dangote. I can beat my chest that he can still sell below that and still make profit. Only if he can be transparent show us the accounting details (which he will never do) then we would know he doesn't push the profit.

Hypo sachet and some other items used to put price tag on their products. They know what the profit margin is, if one sell it at the tagged price profit would still be achieved . But no...

Nigeria and Nigerians have never looked within. The comparison DemonSlayer gave is totally irrelevant. That is India. This is Nigeria.

We have to look within and use our strength from there. The Nigerian government and most citizens love to do comparison on a negative aspect.

Calitoscassius:
Rubbish! It is still expensive
I'm telling you.

You see that price can go below that. Far below but the greedy folks won't flinch.

To me this reduction is just a reaction to guilty conscience.

These folks are making x3 of their supposed profit margin. We see it among small traders in our community they sell what they bought at 200 for 500, 600 even more.

Dangote can still sell it at #500 per litre and he will still profit.

And Nigerians would just be praising them. If NEPA give them light 1 or 2 days. You'll start hearing this NEPA people try o. When it's a steady normal thing in other country or area.

I'm already seeing them saying this is commendable. Great news. Dangote did great

Movie of 5/10

Proper horror fans knows I’m saying the truth
As in eh... When I read the synopsis and watched the trailer. I felt NAH not gonna spend my time watching this.

Then I came here and started seeing high ratings and sweet talks. I was like, well let's go for it, maybe I was wrong about it.

Horror is cool genre but I hardly feel horrored or scared because I know it's all acting. But a better acting can get to you sometimes. Great horror movies that have actually gave my heart a skip is Autopsy of Jane Doe, The Substance, and one or two others I can't remember now.

LifestyleTonite:
Conclave is not for certain people, especially Anime and Arcane kind of guys. The movie deserves a 10/10 because of the strong dialogue, character development and story-telling.

It reminds me of The Hateful Eight by Quentin Tarantino which I tried watching when it got released. I found it boring and so I quit right after the first 20 minutes. I remember elder brother telling me that the movie is interesting. Just last week, I finally saw it after almost a decade. Boy, was I blown away?

Maturity made me like The Hateful Eight and it is that same maturity that made me like Conclave. I guess anime and video game loving boys won't follow.

It is not everything that should action, action, action. Why not dialogue, dialogue and more dialogue?

Conclave is what men watch. Arcane is what men who failed to put away childish things watch.

Catch your sub cool
smiley
You still need more maturity in terms of movies rating then.

Hateful Eight was a top-notch western genre movie. There was no boring moment. Better storyline than Conclave. Got fascinated by it from the beginning and still had a second watch later. You can't compare the two. And I'm sure it has a better rating than Conclave on all rating site.

Just so you know, Westman01 is not an anime watcher. No matter how highly rated it is. Even if it receive Oscar. I just can't see myself watching animation.

That was funny anyways with how you tag movie watchers in respect to the movies they watch. I'd give you that.

9.5/10
It's people like you that just overrate movie here. How is Conclave 9.5 just give 10/10 then. So it's better than Dune then.

He gave a proper rate 6/10. It's boring and there are unnecessary scenes as well.

Because of high rating of Smile 2 here, I went ahead to watch it. Eventually it turns out to be an average movie - 5/10. It's not a serious movie atal.
Some said watch it in the night, it's so scary, turns out no single scene is scary, even Demeter was better.

Enzo should just bench those that have not perform well in the past 5 matches.

Start Nkunku and Felix.
Bench Jackson and Madueke.
Sell James this January. The guy is done.

But the starting eleven are ...

5. B. Badiashile
25. M. Caicedo
3. Marc Cucurella
8. E. Fernández (c), Captain
29. W. Fofana
14. João Félix
15. N. Jackson
1. Robert Sánchez
11. N. Madueke
20. C. Palmer
6. L. Colwill


Only God knows what he sees in Badiashile.

Jackson to score anyways.
