All the Israelis are the same. Anyone that takes that office may even be harder than Bibi. It is the only way they can survive in that hostile region. Any show of weakness and they are gone

Let them grant the request

Asked how he did it by Bibi, the passenger reply was epic "Netanyahu describes him as "a hero" and asks how he did it.

"We are a nation of lions, aren't we?" the passenger says?" What a hero for his country and humanity

Hi

Whats there to see.

Is this not the first Russian plane crash you've seen this whole month?

Can you count the number of US plane crashes this month?? Infact we can bet that before October 3rd another US aircraft will crash. That's how certain i am.

Russia is a country at war. What is the US excuse??

Both of them should go and learn from Israel. A nation at constant war for years, even taking over the air space of Iran, but you never hear a single of their planes crash

HacheNoire:
The dwarf faced the 3rd consecutive humiliation at the UN general assembly!

I was so happy watching the embarrassment and humiliation!

He felt like teleporting from that podium but could not.

Even those that listened to him had this weird look on their face. It was like they watching Hitler speak.

But at a time, he delivered his speech to empty seats!

The empty seats really clapped loud for him like no other leader so far. What an irony

Worryingly:
I always thought fatal accidents involving buses this size were pretty rare, given how big and sturdy they are except, of course, when the bus ends up plunging into a body of water.

Looking at the bus, there doesn’t even seem to be any major structural damage from the impact, apart from the shattered windows. So how did so many people end up dying?

It is this rare for me, I have not heard of a luxurious bus accident resulting to deaths in Nigeria for close to 10 years. This is the first time I am hearing this

Obaofaba:
Israeli land grabbers must leave the middle east.

Unfortunately, it would seem they will be the last to leave the region, base on evidence on the ground

Danmisra:
Please blame the idiots who caused the closure of the strait of Hormuz.

In all oil producing countries , the prise of oil is stable except Nigeria because of incompetent leaders

Personally, I will blame the idiots in power in Nigeria . Is cement passing through the strait? Is cooking gas passing through it? Why can't our refineries work? We have crude and refineries but we are blaming america. Isn't something wrong with us?

nairalanda1:
Even then we can't afford subsidy.

It's the fact

Until then, I don't believe it is a fact. Our Country is too blessed to be like this if not for the so many greedy leaders. Talk of fertile land, oil, mineral, human resources, with no natural disasters except the artificial ones created by the very failure we continue to experience in leadership

nairalanda1:
Subsidy is a big contribution to corruption, because of the free money inherent in any subsidy.

That is why corruption cannot be stopped in a consumption subsidy.

Corruption is still the word you are mentioning. Many Countries subsidize products in one way or the other, be it commodity, education, etc but they have kept corruption away. Why do you believe there must be corruption in subsidy? Is corruption associated only with subsidy in this Country? Has corruption stopped after removal of subsidy? People are suffering more now because the gains are already being consumed by corruption in high places. Take it out and there will be enough to subsidize anything. Moreover, government has a duty to punish corruption but they turn a blind eye because they are part of it, or mostly the architects of it.

nairalanda1:
That N187 was made possible by massive printing of naira and borrowing.

Fact is, we did not remove subsidy in 2012, when we should have. The result was that government was forced to borrow to maintain the subsidy. And that created a massive debt, and also forced the Buhari government to raid the forex reserves...just to pay for the subsidy.

The result was the subsidy being removed to at least allow the government have some spending money, otherwise things would have really been bad.

Most African countries charge as high as NIgeria, most even higher. Only five african countries have some form of subsidy on fuel, and even those, (apart from Libya that can pay for subsides and refinery upkeep without breaking a sweat because they have a very small population)...maintain it at the expense of debt. If all African countries subsidsied fuel like we do, even the oil producers, they would have collapsed economically ages ago.

Choose your wickedness...removal of subsidy with harsh price increases but the chance of improved domestic refining and more jobs, and no more borrowing to fund subsidy, or maintianing subsidy with the borrowing it entails.

This your submission would have held water in a transparent environment, not ours that is riddled with corruption. Subsidy has never been our problem, corruption is our problem. Remove corruption from the so called subsidy period and the country would have gone on without issues. What is the impact of subsidy removal to the ordinary people? Things are even harder now, why? It is simply because corruption has stayed. Monies gained from subsidy removal has mostly gone to the pockets of politicians and top government officials. There is no accountability. Cost of running the government is too high, especially the executive and legislature. For a common man, the subsidy regime was more benefial than now. If our government is serious, they know areas to tackle and subsidize without issues

Hmmm, another company should fill the void fast

lawani:
You can have more internet connection per capital in say London and one of the reasons is that they have a higher average age of like 47 or above. Most of them are adults while most people here are kids. Kids don't have personal internet connection in Nigeria. Then they will also have more connections at work places. However the number of kids here is the main reason our Internet connection density will be lower

I know Kano State is very rural but I doubt there are large settlements there without GSM coverage and places like Ogun and Oyo are also big. Kano isn't bigger than Niger state and etc and if Niger state can pull the weight it pulled then your position about Kano isn't really tenable. There are many states more rural than Kano by not having any settlement up to 300k people despite being as big as Kano.

On BVN, just around half or about 60 percent of adult Nigerians have BVN. It appears people in the North generally do not have bank accounts because I have not met a southerner that does not. They don't really use the NIN they registered for. The number of BVNs do not match the number of NINs and it normally should if every adult had a bank account but there is a very wide gap.

In short, when you are in the same country, differentials in such data should match the differential in population. In the south it would and if the country were serious it would match everywhere

Even within the same age group of people in Lagos and London, you will find out that, higher population will have more internet access in london compare to lagos, even with higher population in Lagos. Their standard of living is higher than ours and they can afford it more either at work or otherwise. Same applies to Lagos and Kano. You have more exposure and higher income earners in Lagos than you would find in Kano. I keep emphasizing that, Lagos as a whole is a big city, where you will hardly find a typical village as somewhere else. Do not look at Kano as in Kano city, but as a state where you can use hours to get to interior villages, some with no access road at all. I don't know if Kano is more populated than Lagos or the other way round. My concern is that, you can not conclude on the basis of internet subscription, BVN or PVC. Several other factors such as accessibility, affordability, exposure, education etc come into play in achieving those statistics.

lawani:
Those are not excuses. They are well represented in PVC and NIN but not in BVN, active sims, Internet subscription and etc. Which statistics is more trustworthy? I will take the ones that involve money

So are you comparing the network coverage in Lagos and Kano? Seriously? It seems you have not gone out of Lagos and probably south west. I am very familiar with the Northern terrain and currently living in Lagos. So, I know what I am telling you. Not everywhere that is urban and opened up like Lagos please. If you do BVN statistics, Lagos will still be far ahead due to easy accessibility. That doesn't automatically translates to more people in Lagos. If you check some stats of other cities in developed countries that are far less in population than Lagos, you will discover they have more internet subscription than what Lagos has. It is simply because they can easily access and afford it. It doesn't mean they are more in population than Lagos

yomi531:
Nin and PVCs nko. Shey u know how they like elections over there abi?

Those are also not yardstick. As a matter of fact, it far easier to obtain those in Lagos here than over there. In some villages over there, you may not even have access roads for cars except bikes. Do you expect to see kiosk or centers for registration everywhere like in Lagos? No. You may have to travel hundreds of km to obtain them in some instances. The percentage of uneducated is also high over there, leading many not to even not understand the usefulness of a NIN. That they like elections there is not an indication that everyone there has easy access to obtain a PVC like it is in Lagos. So all your points are still dependent on a number of factors.

yomi531:
Every available data shows Lagos is the most populous state in Nigeria. Why The North like lie lie abeg?

You maybe right, but don't also forget that, Lagos is much more urban than Kano. There is hardly anywhere in lagos state that gsm network is lacking. Kano on the other hand is massive in landmass compare to Lagos with some populace in interior villages you can't even find network. The level of education is also a factor. So, using subscription as a basis may not be enough

Lalami3232:
One thing I don observe be say if you do well as a governor or president, even you go know say your coming back is 99% sure. The people wey you dey lead know if you try or not. Look at this Abia state governor as an example, the guy is 99.9% certain of going back a second term, even his oppositions know that for a fact because he worked. Na people wey no work na dey fight online and spend billions in rigging.
But joke apart eeh, Davido's family get unity ooooooo. This man wey Davido dey help and campaign for is an uncle. How many of us get this kind connection with our paternal uncles? Anyways, vote wise while contemplating DNA test if you married a nonvirgin



What do I even know sef?

Your submission maybe right in certain and ideal instances. However, Nigerian breed of politics is far different. Take Osun for example, some politicians have already decided that, Tinubu as president is from the state, therefore it is an aberration for the state to be governed by someone from a different party. Therefore what you are saying here does not count again. Regardless of if the incumbent performed wonders or not, it will not count. The people with that warp mentality using opportunist power will go to any length to thwart the process. Now, they will ensure the majority vote does not count at all.

Yes, I had two Nigeriens in my class

He must be talking about context

Classless. No iota of sportsmanship

Axis313:
This is one of the downsides of monopoly.
Dangote wants to sell his petrol in dollars, this alone will even make naira depreciate more.
The marketers that buys from him will start sourcing for dollars and it will affect the value of naira.

Leave Dangote alone. Ask Tinubu to show you fuel from his refineries he said they are working. Beside, are those importing fuel selling cheaper than Dangote? What is the use of the import license when fuel is still costly?

The same lots who have shamelessly refused repeated motions to investigate Gbajagate. They should first answer how they passed budget for fake agency

The same lots who have shamelessly refused repeated motions to investigate Gbajagate. They should first answer how they passed budget for fake agency first

Where is the petrol from our refineries? APC government told us the refineries are working. They insulted OBJ who told them nothing is working. APC is a curse to this nation

AndroBlaze:
Oga stop making noise, the guy has been a fraudster fom day one....their are articles all over about him doing fraud during his student days.

If we have been arresting/punishing parents for the rubbish the children they train do (like the Bible and African cultures did in the past), we would not have the preponderance of problems we have like terrorism, kidnappers, useless politicians , yahoo, hookup girls and so on.....we support/defend rubbish to much in this country for the sake of money and fleeting fame.

Yes, we would not have gotten criminals as rulers as well, had their parent raised them way.

airsaylongcome:
Open up fuel importation and see if price will not fall to N800. Like Allen Onyema insinuated, there is a racket going on regarding Dangote Refinery’s purchase of crude oil. Who are they buying crude from?

People who have license to import, how much is therefule? why cant they crash the price so that we will all run to them and leave Dangote?

stuffs2002:
Dangote na confirmed armed robber..


How can imported fuel be cheaper than the one refined in Nigeria.

The crude that he refines in his refinery is explored in Nigeria and he pays for the crude in Naira yet he still sells petrol at about N1200

Oga do not argue in the direction of importation versus local manufacturing. Why do you think many of our industries are dead and out economy is import dependent? The cost of manufacturing here is quite higher than importation. Again, that Dangote pay for crude in naira does not mean he is buying it cheap. As crude is $72 dollars now, government will convert the dollars to naira equivalent and Dangote will pay. It is not subsidized. Again, do you know that Dangote buys a lot of crude from other countries at dollar international price? If the government want to help us, they should reduce taxes on petroleum products which can lower production cost.

Racoon:
They are not putting blame on their crooked and useless son seating as commander in chief? And why did the gods or deities allowed the kidnappings and killings in the first place if capable? This is the sophicated people region approach to self inflicted insecurity in a 21st century world? Shame!

I tell you. When you see news like this, it simply confirms how nigeria as a state has failed so far.

HacheNoire:
Like Israel will ever tell you their own losses!

If not for US senate and House investigative journalism, we wouldn’t have even confirmed that the US lost that much!

They censoring everything!

Last time they told us all missiles we’re intercepted only for Trump to confirm that, “Israel was badly hit”

But we all know Netanyahu is alife right? And Ayetollah is gone right? At least this can't be denied, even by you. Iran that shut down Internet for over 3 months and execute people who they suspect of leaking pictures are not censoring anything. Let me agree Iran has won and all Israeli generals and Bibi are dead. This will make everyone rest

HacheNoire:
Nigeria will erase Israel if the US COMPLETELY steps aside!

Israel is nothing without the US. The whole funds and arms comes from the US.

Let them erase the bandits terrorists in Yoruba land as an example first

madridguy:
Continue deceiving yourself with useless propaganda.

Iran is a country with abundance agriculture produce.

Al Jazeera is now doing propaganda. Na wao

Tinubu defenders, over to you. Kwara done with, Oyo next. After Oyo, maybe Ogun, then Bourdulion
