knightsTempler:
Please sign this petition against selling the war planes to Buhari's murderous government. If you think Buhari intends using those war planes to fight BH, then you must be living under the rocks.

I have just signed mine, see the link and pic below.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/thank-you/2267051

Once u click d link, were do u click to sign d petition, I've been going round in circles without knowing how to sign

knightsTempler:
The WARPLANES are not for Boko Haram. They say they have defeated them.

The WARPLaNES are not for murderous Fulani herdsmen. Not a single one is in jail for killings in Agatu and everywhere else. They killed another twenty people a day or so ago.

The WARPLANE is to kill southerners as Buhari and co say GEJ and IHEJIRIKA killed Northerners. They are THE EQUALIZERS

The WARPLANES are to kill minorities. It is to take out communities in the Niger Delta where militants are suspected to reside.

Militants of the Niger Delta are not an army like Boko Haram. They have not seized any territories. They are a group of young men of no more than 150 with guns and explosives.

They do not even kill anyone

WARPLANES are not needed to take out 100 or so boys. The army and Navy have enough to recon and chase criminals in the creeks

Death from the air is not needed against a GANG of boys.

Same way America stopped Ghadafi from using air attack against his people, America must not only DESIST from selling WARPLANES to Buhari, they must compel him to dialogue with angry groups and find lasting peace

Sign the petition. Sign it nowwwww.

Get others to sign

We have a limited time to hit 100,000 and get Obama to respond to us as required by American protocol.

Were do we sign d petition?
We are ready bc its getting obvious we have another ABACHA to contend with, tyrants use fighting corruption to oppress n kill just like Abacha said he' fighting corruption -failed bank tribunals n 419ers.

So d coward has cowered. lol

"When I was a minister in the 70s, I built Warri and Kaduna refineries together with 20 depots and several kilometres of pipelines. . . Aliko Dangote is building a refinery capable of refining 650,000 barrel a day, we are also going to repair the four refineries. All these will be completed within two years. All the channels of oil theft will then be blocked and those who happen to be alive will witness a rich and better Nigeria. After all that, If Nigerians choose to elect thieves as their leaders again, it is left to them"

Promises won't buy me food in d market or reduce price of things.
Do it let's see, so much for ur talks n promises, we heard more than this before d election n 1yr on lives bc worst

Infinitikoncept:
When you hear marketers supporting the #145 then you should know it favour them. Ask the dimwit if crude oil price rise to $100 per barrel next month will the price still be #145 or increase or reduce as he said?
2) if the pressure on USD forces it to get to #400 won't they increase price of PMS since they are getting USD from black market?

Don't mind them
Let people keep supporting d 145 now as per deregulation
Crude oil price is projected to get to 70 dollars a barrel soon n price of fuel will definitely be on d increase.

Buhari thinks he's still dealing with cattle in his ranch
He better wakes up to d reality that he's d president of a democratic country

I don't know abt the oda 30LGAs. maybe the area is nt electrified or transformer issue, cos we had issue last month it took abt 2 weeks to repair d transformer while odas are having light

No transformer issue, just blackout n when power came it was an average of 2-4 hrs a day.

ifeanyija:
Uyo Akwaibom is cool. Electricity is ok

Akwa ibom is a state, uyo is just 1 LGA
They're parts of akwa-ibom that've not seen light for 2 weeks

Akwa ibom state. In my zone this month we've celebrated, sorry, mourned 2weeks uninterrupted power failure recently

Hunger is what is causing all this.
The economy has never been this bad
Hope something is done quickly, Nigeria is becoming pathetic

Nigerians r not going out to occupy BC d economy has never been this bad before. People r hungry n looking for their next meal; no strength to protest.

IMO
NLC should return to d negotiation table, allow subsidy removal which will keep fuel price at N100/litre or thereabout. I'm glad this government NOW sees that they CAN't fight corruption in subsidy regime; d best is to scrap it.
If fuel goes for a maximum of N110 naira a litre and minimum wage is increased, no problem.
The government can now call all warring factions in ND to d table and RETURN d pipeline protection contracts to those that did it well during d Yaradua and GEJ era, what's d sense in loosing 1 billion dollars a month (600,000barrels of crude ) to vandals BC u don't want to pay less than a million dollars to people to protect it!

bender79:
The economy was already collapsing at the tail of Gej administration...Even if he was re elected, things would have stood the same...so don't teach me nonsense

The economy was not collapsing dollar was about 220 in black market against 198 official rate.
If GEJ was reelected, he had a very good economic team, DEFinitely d naira would have been depreciated some months ago, subsidy would still have gone but his economic team would v managed it better than this buhari's, its not about d president per say, its about getting d best hands to do d job.Things would definitely not be as bad as this. But I'm glad he didn't win so Nigeria will redefine itself. Buhari should get off his high horse and get better hands to manage our economy Nigeria is already in recession in his 1st year in office.

Hengineer:
Not a single acknowledgement of the influence of the oil prices?

Nigeria's economy has always been tied to oil prices, that's what happens when an economy is dependent on a single product. Whenever oil prices rise, Nigeria's gdp and economy booms, whenever oil prices drops, our economy drops.

GEJ even with the best economic team ever, could not save the Naira from crashing from N160 to N220 to a dollar within 6 months when the oil prices started dropping. As at the time the naira dropped to N220-N230, oil prices were still about $60-$65 and the currency was on a steady decline, so also was Nigeria's gdp growth which had crashed to about 2.3%, and all these happened under GEJ despite his 'world class' economic team. I do not need to remind you that the oil prices had eventually dropped further to even below $30 since GEJ left power, hence the continued slide of Nigeria into further recession. It is quite myopic to just join the crowd to think this obvious glaring trend has anything to do with 'world class' economic team.

He spent too much money to ensure there was no fuel scarcity in d country in his era, he increased minimum wage, increased d work force immensely; this cost lots of money.
In 2010 when he came in, average crude oil price was 77dollars- check d data.n higher crude prices meant higher subsidy paid, in 2011 it was 107 dollars, 2012 it was 109 dollars, use average crude prices BC it drops n rises n he subsidized fuel to everyone when fuel was expensive throughput those periods

bender79:
My friend what are you saying? Foreign reserve that was already depleted under his watch? How much did Obj leave for him? I don't know why you call a spade another thing...At over a 100 dollars / per barrel of crude your 'hero' had every oppiyrtunity to save but simply didn't.

Obj left about 43billion dollars in d foreign reserve for the Yaradua/GEJ ERS
When there was world economic meltdown around 2008,2009 , Nigeria was one of d countries that didn't feel it and didn't go for internaional financial assistance; that's what our foreign reserve did for us our reserve had to be used to save d naira.
By d time GEJ took over and throughout his stay, his Government subsidized fuel for Nigerians such that we didn't have scarcity, that was at a cost of a lot of money, businesses boomed, the agricultural sector boomed ,Industries did well, lots of money was pumped in to d economy that's y Nigerians fared well generally through his era and he left a BOOMING economy, 30 BILLION dollars foreign reserve among other things.
Under buhari's watch, lots of civil servants have lost their jobs, industries have folded up, prices of things v soared; that's d effect of a government withholding money from d economy.
Truth b told, Nigeria has NEVER had it this bad and hey, this is not d first time price of oil has dropped in Nigeria.

Some politicians are delusional

Cashcard1:
How expensive is fuel in Nigeria, compared to other countries? At ₦145/Litre, is fuel too expensive in Nigeria?

As surprising as it may seem, Nigeria is ranked 12th as per cheapest price of petrol in 173 countries even with the new ₦145 per litre price according to Globalpetrolprices.com

In Nigeria, fuel now costs ₦145/L and with the current exchange rate that is fluctuating between ₦320-₦360 to a dollar, it means we are paying about $0.44/L

1. In United States, fuel is sold at the pump price of $0.65/L ( ₦214/L).

2. South Africa - $0.84/L (₦277),

3. Russia $0.55/L (₦181/L),

4. Canada - $0.91/L (₦300/L)

5. Ghana - $0.92 (₦303/L)

6. China - $0.93 (₦306/L)

Some will argue that the countries above are not petroleum exporting countries (OPEC) like Nigeria, but what about OPEC member countries like:

7. Angola, where PMS is sold at $1/L (about ₦330),

8. Iraq - $0.64/L (₦211),

9. Venezuela pump price is $0.60/L (₦198/L)withPresident Nicolas Maduro calling the approximately ₦198/Lpump price ‘one of the cheapest in the world’.

10. Even in the oil rich, United Arab Emirates (UAE) PMS is sold at $0.45/L which is about (₦148/L)which is more expensive than the price in Nigeria.

According to Globalpetrolprices.com, In Hong Kong, the pump price is set at $1.85/L (about ₦610/L) making the country the most expensive seller of gasoline in the world.

With the facts and figures above, at ₦145/L fuel is not expensive, it’s actually one of the cheapest in the world, but because of the poor living conditions of millions of Nigerians, it appears expensive and thus, many Nigerians struggle to afford it.

That is why the government needs to provide welfare programs, kill that disease called corruption, invest in electricity, education, fix refineries, provide jobs and reduce poverty in the country

Compare d minimum wage of this countries to that of Nigeria as well

bender79:
Even though he was a good democrat...he couldn't manage our finances...

He managed our resources efficiently
Foreign reserve is used to strengthen a nations local currency n that's what d foreign reserve we should v saved was used for.
Today, buhari doesn't even v an economic team that can manage 3 states effectively that's y our local currency is sliding, from 1 dollar to N215 to presently N380 ....still sliding..

Somebody will open his mouth to say Labour should stay off strike, rubbish!

Nigeria has the lowest minimum wage
But pay highest for fuel

Buhari's remaining 3 yrs will be very interesting
He better doubles effort on diversification bc it seems ND oil is not for his govt. use

Omooba77:
While the venue erupted in laughter, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola also replied Lawal, saying, “There is fuel. It is N107.”



http://www.punchng.com/sgf-slams-kachikwu-fuel-crisis/

Who knows whether there's now dual fuel price N107 for buhari's cronies and at least N145 for d general population.

After all cronies r getting dollar from CBN at N198, others at N380!
What a government!
