OGA make the local refineries work, nobody will hoard what you have in abundance.
It's not rocket science.

don't mind them. They like beating about the bush and leaving the substance. If they make fuel available, who will be stupid to hoard it?

illicit:
There's one with poles

With some sort of cone and springs

Higher than this too

yeah, the one with collapsible legs

loswhite:
Why waste your time on that senseless idiot. If NNPCL fixed our refineries by now where will the monopoly come from?

Don't mind them. They will just be talking any how

REDshouse:
The diesel never reduce.. The price was technically increased to around 1700 few months to dangote supply ... Don't be fooled ..they know what they are doing ... The fuel price around the world is around 1200 per litte unsubsidized.. now they have created technical scarcity to jerk up fuel price to 900 to 1000 per litre ... When dangote start producing fuel it will now drop to 600 and everyone will be happy that fuel Drop to 600 because of dangote ....

Who are the they you are talking about please? Is it the Nnpc cabal that doesn't want the dangote or any local refinery to work? Please I don't understand you. As far as the evidence in the public space is concerned, there are people who want to continue importation for their selfish aim. Dangote is complaining bitterly and here you are insinuating Dangote is in cohort with them

Max24:
You seem not to understand the concept of interest. Dangote and Tinubu don't have the same interest when it comes to fuel. While Tinubu might not be a saint he has the political obligation to control the price of fuel or else he would be put under pressure by the masses like some tried to do with the protest. Dangote on the other hand as a full-fledged capitalist has no such obligation to consider the masses. His interest is maximum profit possible and I don't blame him. And don't be deceived by the seeming public fight between Dangote and Bua about prices. It might all be a ruse. Do you know what they call cabal in business and their theatrics? Nigerians need to be smarter than this. Are you 100% sure that Dangote and BUA are not working hand in glove ? Are they not both northerners? Dey play ! For me, I voted Tinubu to control the price of cement and fuel. If Dangote can maintain current fuel prices I don't have problem with him. But I doubt he will. I would be shocked if he doesn't double or triple prices in few years time if given a free hand to control Nigerias fuel. The way they handled cement, a commodity that is 80% sourced in Nigeria, is still fresh in my mind

Please which local commodity that is 100% locally sourced did not double or triple in price during Tinubu regime? How much was a bag of rice, a tuber of yam etc prior to Tinubu administration? I am never convinced about monopoly shouts from different quarters. Your analysis between Bus and Dangote remains another conspiracy theory at best. I mentioned the cost of energy as a key drive to products cost. I work in manufacturing too. When Tinubu floated the naira and the exchange rate increase, the cost of diesel went further up. It means, if a truct was transporting cement to a location at 50k before, it now 80k or more. So why should the price of cement for example, not go up. The beverage I produce is more than double the initial price. Is Dangote or Bua or the northernals as you are trying to portray them, producing Coke, fanta or pepsi? Have the prices of those not more than double during Tinubu time. Why are you not calling those companies out like you do Dangote?

Look, we are running a free market economy, anyone is free to set up companies and set their prices, then compete for the market. Dangote was producing noodles before, did he survive the market? He ended up selling that line to indomie who are the market leaders. Did anyone accuse indomie of monopoly? No, then why? We all know that, there are politicians who don't want the status quo to change in the oil sector. Tell me why they are insistent on importation of fuel when we now have the capacity to refine it locally? In this very report, it was mentioned that, 8 refineries are ready to work, Dangote has only one out of the eight. So, where is the so much voiced monopoly? At least the Benin refinery cried out this week about crude shortage too.

By the way, you said Tinubu job is to control prices, kindly tell him hid policies are rather killing us with high prices. He is not doing his job

Max24:
I don't trust Dangote to favour the masses. His foray into cement is a point of reference. I won't be surprised if fuel doubles by the time Dangote is given a giant share of the market. How much is cement now ?

Please, how much are other cements prices compared to Dangote cement? Why are the others not cheap? I need education on this please. There are many variables that drive production cost, chief among them is energy. When your government took the dollar sky high and the cost of diesel doubled, what do you think will happen? Most time people unfairly target Dangote. At least he is not the only one in that market. What happened to all the noise Bua made about cement price reduction months ago,? It is simply not feasible. At least, Dangote is investing in Nigeria and creating employment. How many of the people in government including Tinubu have invested here? People will just be shouting Dangote monopoly. Why don't you build a refinery yourself?

REDshouse:
Even if they supply dangote all needed crude for his refinery it will never reduce the price of fuel ... Ask dangote cement and flour ... No matter what it will always go higher after monopolizing the market ... I won't cry for any dangote ... Let him hustle his way out ...

We know that, Dangote entered the diesel market and the price reduced. Please, you can also build a refinery to break the so called Dangote monopoly. After all, this same reports states that, 8 refineries are ready to start. Do they all belong to Dangote? In the cement market, why is Bua or Larfage not selling cement to us at 2,000 naira? Is Dangote the one setting the price for them? Let them sell it at that price and let's see if Dangote can still be in the market. The word MONOPOLY is indeed abused in Nigeria

DaddyCoool:
Is it that cold in Jos?
They're dressed like they're in iceland

Jos is cold o. If you are an outsider in Jos now, you will need serious adjustment

AntiChristian:
Ayanma!

Yuck!

Feels like vomiting...

Well, people eat termites and then this!

When will someone eat cockroaches?

Caterpillar is Butterfly larva!

That is life, your best meal can make someone else vomit as well

Curious345:
Is that redeem church ?

The NAtional assembly should pass a law empowering the state to take 50% of church and mosque earnings. That money should be used to cater for the social welfare of the poor

As if government will not embezzle the 50%. The huge sums the government makes in taxes and other revenue sources, where is it? What social welfare have they undertaken that benefits the masses? Everything is a cesspit of corruption. Sorry, your suggestion is not the solution for now

Namaster:
I keep saying it that it's absolute INSANITY that the Nigerian Military is having such a tough time NEUTRALISING these terrorists and bandits.

They are a bunch of ragtag, illiterate and DUMB idiots with guns. A MINOR surveillance operation would reveal their location. And a coordinated attack on that location will PARALYZE them.

But the Nigerian Military would rather intimidate civilians and attack NEPA office for free light.

Very USELESS!

I have read the whole first page and there is no single "picture or I don't believe it" crew member, as we often see when Nigeria military reports killing of terrorists. I am confused please, what's happening? Because this report does not show any terrorist killed but the same people believe it without a doubt

If not because of madness and backwardness at the same time, who should be talking about power disconnection in this age, like we are in 17th century? What happened to prepaid meter? Install prepaid meter for them, if the don't buy units, they don't use light, simple

Akamon:
This is the only way to go, FCCPC if not gotten right, Tinubu government will be gone. Prices have skyrocketed and the Institution holds the ace to correct the abnormally.
I expect the head to sit with manufacturers, Middle men and look into their books and see where the evil lies and draw the sword immediately within 1 month of this appointment.

Are you still looking for where the evil lies? Tell me you are joking. What drive prices in our economy are majorly pms, diesel and dollar rate. Check their standings now and your answer is there

SensetionalGoal:
Of all the problems bedeviling this country this is what akintola can think...

What exactly is the role of sultans in nation building I have never seen were that sultan condemn any attack on same Muslim the pretend to speak for... Im very sure if that position is not monetized many of them will be running from it ....

His role is moon sighting or announcement of sighted moon during Ramadan

demarc001:
Because they are Indians, they know how to do business the Nigerian way

Cheap labour
No standards
No safety
Poor welfare for staff
Bribe government officials
Etc.

With all these they still manage to make profit.
Big multinationals don't do these because of integrity.

You are very correct. You will never hear the indian, Lebanese and Chinese companies leaving. It simply because of the factors you listed up there

Kay17:
I agree. The exit of multinationals and the shrinking of the economy along with shabby foreign exchange market doesn’t affect Igbos in the Southeast and all round Nigeria.

The exit of doctors and astronomical increase in prices of food and medicine doesn’t affect Igbos.

Don't mind him, he was just thinking narrowly

lonelydora:
No backing down!

Whoever that is tired of standing on his mandate should carry chair and sit down.

Have you seen any Igbo man complain about the economy? No tribe is better prepared for the worst in Nigeria than the Igbo people.

You all thought you are doing Peter Obi and Obidients. Ngwanu... Tinubu must finish his two terms o.

Una never see anything.

I don't think it is an issue of tribe it is affecting everyone. There are many Igbos in those companies that exited if you must know. An Igbo man dealing in spare parts at Ladipo is also affected as the purchasing power of his customers is reduced. So, it is like a circle

Let them first buy tomatoes and peppers before buy ram o. Hmmm

KnowledgePower7:
Heheehehe

Portable reminds me of my life story
My dad preach that going to University was the greatest thing ever.

I always told him that things have changed
2020 is not 1980... Things don change
In 1980 going to University was considered the greatest thing ever
Some mumu parents still think like that today, wasting 500k just for one useless paper

Thank God I no listen to that man at all
Instead of Uni I went and hustled instead
11 years later I thank God for that decision
Back then my dad will say I'm useless
Because I refuse to get degree
Now that I have made money, he is the one boasting with my name at home.

With the funds I have now I can go to any university if I want

In this hard time I'm the one feeding my family and siblings that have masters and PhD

This life is truly funny...

Will you allow your children to go to school?

Air France, what happened?

So sorry about this painful experience. Please don't sound defeated, keep trying

Hmm, irresponsible state governments will still not pay it, when it finally comes

Chinjo2:
The bible never condemn drinking of alcohol. It only condemn drunkenness. St paul advised Timothy to take a little wine.
Secondly Jesus turned water into wine. Though it was not recorded if the wine was alcoholic or non alcoholic but common sense will tell you that what are usually served at ceremonies at that time were fermented grape juice which translates to alcohol.

You can choose not to drink because of personal reason but don't be enslave by what your pastor says about alcohol.

Professionally, once you say wine, it automatically implies presence of alcohol. Fruit wine or whatever does not really exist in the sense of it. They are supposed to be called fruit drinks

dkidd:
Go and face ur useless life of problems idiot. Na to dey worry for matter when no concern Una sabi. The politicians and top government officials that spray and chook bundles inside pussy for public wetin una fit do. Oh I forgot ur just another dumb govt ass kisser with no brains

I was just trying to correct some foolery. by the way, this is public matter and you can not decide for any one on which topic to comment. If it was not to be commented on, your foolery would not have been noticed.

dkidd:
Where are those Nairaland fools predicting watery beans for their Father... U think everyone is in ur league. Envious bastards

Between you and chief priest, I don't know who is more confused. Why call people fools when what you are displaying is more than foolery. His alleged offense is bailable and he was granted bail. Bobrisky was sentenced because he pleaded guilty, otherwise he would have been granted bail. Chief priest will go on trial for his offense and if found guilty, will be sentenced accordingly, if otherwise he will be discharged.

He is only being foolish by putting up public shows like this instead of staying low for his trial. What is the win he is celebrating here? His case is not murder afterall

God1000:
Iran said they had nothing to do with the October 7 attack, that Hamas acted on their own.


Did you also believe US when they said Israel didn't inform them before striking Iran's consulate in Syria?

Can you show where Israel said they carried out the attack on Iranian consulate building? Mind you I am not in support of any of them, but just using your logic of Iran denial in involvement of Oct 7 attack on Israel

billante:
If they explain Nigeria to you and you understand.....that person didn't explain it well...na lamb e dey give you.

Thought they told us even dangote and other local refineries can't see crude to buy because buhari government has sold everything in advance.

They are now telling us they can't see buyers for our crude oil again.

I just tire in all these. They will be shouting there is no crude to local refineries but see them hawking the same crude on the international market. Who can explain this confusion please

Yes, it is a major way out not only for air peace , but for Nigerians to be free from foreign exploitation and strangulation

bonechamberlain:


Israel is not the only country in the world, it is a rascal, lawless and anarchical behaviour for Israel to bomb a consulate. They have virtually broken all laws known to have kept the modern world far away from anarchy and strife.

it's time for the U.S to hands off and allow Israel be taught a lesson.

The major reason why the U.S have no choice than to assist Israel is to prevent Israel from using nukes and to have a democracy/reliable based in the middle east. Conventionally Israel would be levelled in less than a month fighting Iran, rather than them loosing they would take the nuclear route, hence the reason for the constant U.S interference.

Modified: One thing very common with Nigerians especially some so called commenters here on Naira land is hypocrisy and ignorance. Some people still believe that Russia is fighting Ukraine, or cannot defeat Ukraine. They don't understand international politics, war strategies and the actions and motives of certain international actors and situations.

To the Israeli issue, no country in the world has broken international Law uncountable number of times deliberately and overtly like Israel not even North Korea.

You speak against the lawless behaviour of Nigerian politicians but support the ultra lawless behaviour of Israel in the international system due to sentiments such as religion, God forbid!! I would be that type of person. The same people shout and complain about how Nigerians are gullible to religious ideas but support a government virtually promoting anarchy in the world due to same religiosity they complain about.

After watching a video where a former CIA personnel stated that Israel is neither Americas friend nor ally and how most wars America has been fighting especially in the middle east was orchestrated by the Israeli regime and it's allies and lobby groups in Washington. I was happy that Americans are waking up.

In 2006 Israel could not defeat Hezbollah backed by a sanctioned Iran in Lebanon, but some experts believe that Israel would defeat Iran conventionally without the interference of America.

This thin pain you very well. Sorry. But why will the generals be hiding in an embassy building to plan attacks against Israel? They made that building a command and control center, therefore it became a legitimate target. In any case, Iran says it will revenge. So don't over vex. Is not as if Iran who is sponsoring terrorist organizations in the middle east are saints.

Tranquillity360:
Nigeria government don't have anything against the Yoruba lady.
Is he the only person to have abusing Naira.



They are just punishing her for his way of Life because no law in Nigeria can be used to punish him for that.

Nothing much.

According to police, you don't catch all the thieves at once before you catch thief.

Please, people choose bench or chambers practice on their own. Majority of those few lawyers in the north always go to bench while majority of the south lawyers will always prefer chambers.

UncleKoboko:
I don't understand

Before or after the soldiers were killed?

They are talking about after the killing of the 16 soldiers. The soldiers came to the community for a meeting, gathered the people, and trouble started when they wanted to arrest the community leaders but the people resisted them.

The narration maybe true. I have seen this happened before in Gbeji community of Benue state when similar incident of killing soldiers during a communal clash. The soldiers came in the guise of peace meeting and gathered the people, without warning they opened fire and killed many.
