Ethnicity laced palaver again.

You ethnic bigots never learn. Smh. Your education is a waste.

LadyRosa2:
Many civil servants are mentally and physically very very lazy i assure you.

The regularity of their salaries is not helping them much.

A security man earning 70k in GT bank is way prosperous than a civil servant earning same why?

Truth is more than 70 percent of CS i know are mentally, physically too lazy. The only time they work is when they are waiting for their salaries.

They will never improve on theirs elves through skills, highest is to obtain more degree from universities where its easy to bribe to get certification.

Their laziness makes them breed like rat too.

You go see a govt teacher having 5 children or more

They can take loans like kilode and end up to planning well with it.Its just very few that builds with it.

My friend a CV among many is an exception, he just furnished three bedroom to his name, young and still unmarried.

Maybe na say him be anambra guy sha!

Even 50-70% of workers in non civil service also dies poor and wretched. So what's the difference?

9gerian:
Not as simplistic as you put it. It is more of a symbiotic relationship. The FG needs to stop subsidy and needs local production. Fortunately, Dangote had noticed and prepared to help solve a huge chunk of the problem, hence the Dangote refineries.

Can Dangote or any other refinery enter the market against subsidized fuel? If yes, will that solve the problem of smuggling and having to subsidize the whole west Africa consumption?

Incomplete narrative. If dangote got fg loans and got heavily subsidized dollar and would get crude at naira converted prices, why then should he sell above 250 Naira per litre. Tell us since fx is removed, customs, international shipping etc. Nigeria is a slave country

Obaaderemi2:
Anybody speaking in support of subsidy is not truthful to himself. It's not everything we should criticize government for. You have a budget of $30bn and you spend almost half on petrol alone. Then you turn around and cry that workers are poorly paid or that you don't have electricity. We're not a serious nation. Subsidy should go 100% but that doesn't mean petrol should be more than #400 if we refine here because we are a major producing country.

Smiles. Your perspectives

Good day

Obaaderemi2:
I think you are responding to the wrong person!!!! I never called you broke nor asked you for your financial worth. If you are doing well, good for you, my friend.

I'm saying Dangote is ripping nigerians off and one specimen brought car prices in america and was comparing to prices in Nigeria to excuse Dangote's ways.

I'm telling you (him as well) that Even with removal of subsidy dangote should be able to sell below #500 but then he is a capitalist. He is going to buy your national assembly and they'll pass laws against importation of petroleum products.

I speak for my peeps. Never said you called me broke or estimated my worth financially. People's lives and livehood is in total chaos

I'm sure you're abroad. Lives have shattered and it's just the beginning. I speak for these people


Buhari received loans and credits from international agency as COVID releif funds. Much recently he applied for 800 Mil dollars as subsidy removal palliative. These money's could have been used to setup modular refineries for the country's consumption


Plus, if all the country's private refineries are not working at the same time. Would we be wrong to say again that it's on purpose to serve Dangotes interest.


Nigerians have been suffering from time immemorial. Is it not enough?


They've eaten the flesh of the people. Now it's the bone they're eating. 90% of Nigerians are malnourished and can't feed themselves well. Let alone have a decent life



Anyone speaking for subsidy removal without asking for palliatives to improve the lifelihood of people doesn't know what he or she is saying.


Let's ask. What good came from the kerosense subsidy removal before we begin to priase fuel subsidy removal

Godwin4444:
all our politicians are stealing n keeping d money in dangote business n that’s y they don’t want anything to work in Nigeria

If things work properly how will dangote make money n how will they also get their profit

Dangote can only survive in a corrupt country like Nigeria, he can’t survive in a highly competitive country

Because of the blindness of the citizens not knowing where to turn to and being powerless. If the average Nigerian knows that's dangote was given dollar at the rate of around 190 Naira for his refinery, the interpretation is that the citizens built it. And the interpretation is also that government can build such if the willpower is there

Obaaderemi2:
He should have come with a smarter comparison. Even if subsidy is removed petrol shouldn't sell above #400. Maybe you should help us with the landing cost of a litre.


When was this restructuring of the ports you spoke about and do you not know that many cars and other goods were in the country already imported but unsold before the port restructuring? Apart from that selling of goods including cars depends on the whims and caprices of the seller atimes. You can buy a tokunbo today and next week put it online for sale at half the price.



Stop all this abeg.

Your postulations are one dimensional with due respect sir


The first responsibility for a government is to make life for it's citizens. My people are suffering and I must speak for them.

I've never ewrnee less then half a mil in over ten years. I have projects left right and centre. But I must speak against these slavist empires.


I repeat. I ain't broke. Dangote should let the country be. No nation bemfs it's laws for any citizen or company. None. Dangote is.manipulating Nnpc, CBN, Almost manipulatiled the electric generation and nlng.


My people are suffering. People can barely feed or live good lives anymore.. The people are the victims.

Obaaderemi2:
Shebi you went for very cheap Corolla in USA. Why didn't you post something like this instead of the $2500 one you posted to underscore your point?

Stop acting mischevoius.. There was restructuring in customs so the nation would earn more money, leading to massive hike in prices of clearing goods. This incremeant is passed on to the consumer leading to hike in prices..The same way subsidy is removed and the excesses passed on the the masses.


Stop all this abeg.

"Bayo Onanuga accuses the NLC and TUC of planning a fuel subsidy strike cos of Peter Obi.

They don't know the difference btw POLITICS & GOVERNANCE, so everyth is a gutter fight.🤡

Nigeria is broke for the citizens, but not the thieves in power? What concessions have they made?" - copied

The defense of PMB was mostly ethnic, and Nigeria spiralled down the abyss in 8 years. Here's another chapter of overzealous supporters going ethnic about every topical issue. I think Nigerians deserve to suffer. Watch as they grow their expenditures while the poor groans but continues to defend their 'brother' online.

God bless you my brother. We truth speakers must continue to speak regardless of the backlash or attacks. We will keep speaking and exposing them

SalamRushdie:
I am telling you , that's how Nigeria keeps wasting generation after generation..

Only few of us are seeing it..One generation is reoakced by another into the slavery

SalamRushdie:
Bro don't mind this APC clowns they always lie that our Petrol and Electricity is one of the cheapest on earth but all na lie

Before many Nigerians of our generation come to realization, they would have hit 50s with empty accounts. Nigerians are blind..Only latness and poverty can open their eyes

SalamRushdie:
These are issues na , the Nigerian govt is being to hard on Nigerian , the car duty they charge is too high

Same as rice..same ideology as subsidy removal. What did the whole tax duty revamp do to benefit the life of the average Nigerian since Buhari triggered it's overhaul eoght years back. These slaves never listen

tsdarkside:
nobody is stopin you from becomin another dangote....

Morpheous.told Neo. He said when you try to cause people to see reality in matrix they turn back to fight you.

Keep your blindness

Ok, you work for NNPC Limited, downstream petroleum expert?

Any day you can debate me intellectually, please knock on me. Any day and time

SalamRushdie:
!!!! You think we talk out of nothing? I only talk facts .. Gasoline in the state of Texas cost $3 a gallon ( 3.7 litres ) which means a gallon is 1890 Naira if we use the new exchange value of 630 Naira to a dollar , now divide 1890 by 3.7 to get the value in litre = 510 Naira per litre in Texas ..note that if we go further use the official CBN rate of 440 naira this will bring a litre in Texas to 356 naira a litre ...

Elder I know I'll find you my elder on intellectual threads like this. Thanks for always being there on such matters. I wish I can speak more about this to the nation at large. The country is in trouble

tsdarkside:
and....??
south korea did the same for their people too....

in south korea you cant import anything that south koreans can produce themselves....
they have been doing this for decades till today....
today they have samsung and many other international companies....

and african nations are not allowed to do the same for their people too....??

Not for an individual. Una eyes never open say the nation don dey under bondage

sapele914:
Gerrout, debate a clueless, incoherent simple minded thing like you? I’d rather pass.

Ofcourse. From their comments you know them. You're not on my level. Shussh

You can't debta me.intellectually so I won't bother mud sling. Talk economics and I'll fore back

Success1981:
Whether he is using strong voodoo on the various leaderships or they are part of the business. Nigeria's democracy has been so far created for Dangote because I remembered in 1999 when Obasanjo banned importation of cement and gave Dangote full monopoly of cement distribution and this is how subsequent administrations have been working for him aside Yaradua.
Just 2/3 days in the opening of Dangote refinery and this is what we get.

I've been telling people this. And that the nation has become enslaved to dangote. They said I was lying. I told them the national refenieres were made not to work because of dangote as far back as five years back. They said I was making up theories. It's getting clearer to see day by day


Dangote invested around 400m in Obasanjo tls second term. Since then, Nigeria became his slave


What Country on earth has its central bank bend it's policy for a single individual?

They gave him forex for his refinery at 190 Naira

As if that isn't enough the country financed the construction and he developed an agreement that importation of Feul must be done solely by refinery owenrs meaning people who have been doing the business for up to 40 years must not do the business again


There are arrangements in place that all products produced by Dangote must be banned from importation putting them in exclusive list with the excuse theat it consumes forex

From Tomatoes to milk, the madness continues. The earlier Nigeria realizes Dangote is the number one enemy of the country, the better. As it stands the nation is serving this individual not the other way around

drphantom:
Everyone that I know that has put forward your argue (which I am not debating ) has also failed to put forward a better alternative.

The private individual you mention who put up a refinery in 5 years is hogwash for me because he did it by for 'round-tripping' and it is yet to solve the problem.

Building refineries is a medium to long term solution for an immediate problem we have. A new government just came in and you propose they ONLY take a long term approach to solve a problem which must be resolved in the short term? How does that work?

Critique intellingelt na. What are you trying to say

yemmit90:
Yea, it surprise me too, perhaps he lost his good paying job and using this one to manage, or maybe he has side hustle that gives him money or maybe he do some part times jobs that gives him money during the year, he is the only one that can tell.

Any house I can't pay in just a month, I don't rent. Example, I just paid my house rent few weeks ago and it took me a short duration to raise it. Unlike if it would have taken me four months salary to pay my rent. I then subject myself to pressure. Naa

yemmit90:
Let me assume you live in a less developed town. You can't find such in a city centre. The said brand new two bed with pop and other modern facilities in my location is not less than 300k per year.

So never blame anyone for their house rent in the cities, even a modern room and parlor selfcon goes for 250k and above. Ordinary rooms in face -face houses sef are very expensive in the cities.

You are correct and accurate. But 30k.on a 250k Rentage is suicidal boss.

RealLordZeus:
I don't understand this shii

You are earning 30k per month and rent is 250k..

As in wtf

Nigerians love slavery. I told a guy recently I rake atleast half a mil per month and my rent is 120k. Brand new compound and new two bed. Na people wey want kill their selves for Lagos and stagnancy dey like this kind lifestyle

Get a loan for the seat and start doing transport business.


Simple. You're looking for money for seat not money for rent


Also, borrow for business, not to repay debts.

No be who never fvck go Sabi run under pressure ? If this one ride that baba for half minute, e no go die. Stvpid mentality

We made this projections back then together bro. Tinubu has initiated a problem that would take Nigerians between 3-5 years to recover.


People should mark this statement down

MrBrownJay1:
the world is designed to make you SURVIVE as a gov employee, not to get rich from it.

Here's the answer. It's called a matrix. And it's designed to keep victims in a complex, perpetual, cyclical maze that they never get out of till death

Semantics. If the primary worry you have about the subsidy removal is neighboring countries, fix your customs and border patrol.

Subsidy is the only thing the FG gives to the citizens without which would cause a chaos because of the low buying power popular with the citizens...


First of account make critical account of what the accruals from the removal of kerosense subsidy was used for.



If a private citizen can build a refinery within five years. A 3.2km road was built to link SE and SS. Why is building new refineries to take care of the country's need difficult to do or a thorough rehabilitation of the previous ones that have repeatedly refused to become operational. Are radioactive isotopes no longer used in pipe flows to track leakages to identify damaged sections of the refineries so that they can get fixed



Nigerians and their penchance for.unintelligent leaders

Toor!
