reasonableness?
that is why we have many Tonto dike's who thinks a Christian woman is equal to her husband.
that is why we have many broken marriage today.
is your husband name biting you? will your husband name hurt you?
if his name will hurt you why marry him?
is there any other reason for refusing to use your husband name expect copying radical feminist ideas and equating yourself with a man?
the Bible is an anti feminist book.

I'm not a woman (but common sense is far from you).
The lots of broken home are from people who changed their name to that of the husband.

The woman in Abuja who killed her husband changed her name but going by your logic, she must have been submissive.


The Bible says " a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one." How does a man leave his father when he still bears the father's name?

That verse also says the man is "joined" to his wife not the other way around. When you join something you become a part of that thing so if we want to go by literal interpretation, the man is to drop his name and take that of the woman.


Like I said earlier, when you try and use the Bible to justify stupidity, you'll run into trouble.

noturbusiness:

Still doesn't change the fact that they identify with their husband name. My aunty bear her own husband name.
The man name, his father name, his grandfather's name are all part of same genealogical records. Part of same family tree.
Now tell me, what reason did this feminist use in getting rid of their husbands name? Is it not to prove their equality with men? Weak men like you who asslick women in the public are the once that end up beating and maltreating their wife in private.
Does the man's name bite? Why refuse to bear with it?

Feminist did not get rid of anything.

Reasonable people realized a woman changing her name doesn't stop her from cheating.
Reasonable people realized women changing their name does nothing to the marriage.

It's people like you that think going to church makes someone a Christian.

noturbusiness:

man made tradition, supported by God?
were they not identify by their husbands name?
Sarah wife of Abraham and Sarah Abraham are they not the same thing? Aisha buhari and Aisha wife of buhari is it not same thing?
what is the use of using your husband name? is it not to identify as his wife?
if you see Aisha wife of buhari or Aisha buhari , did both not tell you that Aisha is married to buhari?
or you want us to do it in biblical format?
using Aisha wife of buhari or Aisha buhari in her documents, which of them relegate women the more according to your useless feminist ideas?
why did she not use Sarah daughter of-------------- or why did he not use Abraham husband of Sarah?

Buhari is the name of the great grandfather of the president.
Mohammed is the name of the president.

When you try to use the Bible to justify stupidity, you'll run into trouble.
If submission was about bearing your husband's name, it would be Aisha Mohammed not Aisha Buhari.

Jesus warned the disciples about people like you and the OP who pretend to be Holy on the outside but rotten on the inside.

I support the creation of more universities....a government will come that will focus on education and improved the standard of all universities....


Creating more universities will create more jobs and more students to get admitted... That is the way to go

sevenhundred:
at Least It Will Create Employment And Reduce Stealing.

This posts are part of the reason why Nigeria is a terrible country, always doing things for the wrong reasons.

The main aim of a university should be to provide the best possible knowledge. When a university does this, students who graduate from this schools will be innovative and provide jobs.

If 12 million Nigerians became farmers and the price of food isn't reducing, then there's serious problem.

"If a government minister upon a cabinet dissolution takes a vehicle that he is not entitled to and converts it to personal use, then that is stealing. "
It can also be termed corruption because the Minister has abused the car that was entrusted to him as a minister for personal gain.


Corruption is a superset of stealing.

1) You are fixated with NNPC as one big indestructible company may be because you think NNPC is like Petrobras or Aramco. The PIB suggests breaking up NNPC. Are you saying the PIB is rubbish because there's synergy between NNPC, DPR and others?

2) Nigeria uses traders to sell her crude, there's nothing magical about that. The same trading of crude can be assigned to DPR or any other agency.

3) Atiku can't sell NNPC because it was created by an act or parliament (I would need to confirm) but NNPC as it is today needs to change drastically.

4) I understand the NLNG model very well. The government owns a majority (45%) but the day to day handling is left to other operators. Petrobras is also majorly owned by the Brazilian government (55%) but its run like a private organization.

NNPC has always been the piggy bank of the President as opposed to a professional run industry giant. That needs to change and fast.

[quote author=jpphilips post=73138658][/quote]

1) It doesn't matter where DPR started. As of today, DPR is not part of NNPC and DPR is responsible for regulating the oil industry.

2) NNPC owns refineries that don't work, it's a refiner in theory not practice. By the way, the country spends huge sums paying the salaries of people doing nothing.

3) The forex NNPC supplies the country comes from crude oil sales. Selling NNPC doesn't stop the sale of crude oil.

4) If you sell the refineries, move NPDC to the NLNG model, sell Duke oil and the Data service company, while keeping NAPIMS, you would have sold a majority of NNPC while still retaining the arm that manages the JVs.

5) Compare NNPC with NLNG and you'll see the difference is like night and day. What the government needs is an efficient regulatory body like the NCC to over see the oil industry and not an over bloated work force in the name of a national oil company.

Where in the world do they get these numbers from?

[quote author=jpphilips post=73127028][/quote]
1) DPR is not not NNPC ( I knew you didn't know this)
2) NNPC might own refineries, but it doesn't refine because they don't work hence the crude oil swap/subsidy.
3)Shell, Chevron, Total et al all operate joint ventures on behalf of themselves and the NNPC. The NNPC operates nada. The only thing NNPC does is contribute Nigeria's share of the money and it's something the CBN can do.

Brief explanation of how the JV's work because I'm in a good mood.

When a new oil field is to be developed, the NNPC takes a percentage (usually 60%) while the rest of the companies involved share 40%. All parties involved usually contribute funds according to their share and when the field starts producing, the operator of the joint venture first takes its operating expenses first before the profits are shared according to shareholding.
NNPC contributes no technical expertise at all.

From NNPC's website

As with many other developing countries, the multinationals in Nigeria had been operating under what is called a concession system, with NNPC being the concessionaire, while the companies are the operators.

NNPC also is responsible for the management of the exploration bidding rounds for oil and gas.

The multinational oil companies operate in partnership with NNPC under Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs).

You have no clue as to how NNPC works.

Link 1: NNPC in 2018 signing a deal with CNNOC for gaining of technical expertise so NNPC can operate fields on its own.

https://www.pulse.ng/bi/finance/nigeria-signs-oil-deal-with-schlumberger-and-will-earn-5-60bn-id8569678.html

PS: NNPC is 100% owned by Nigeria and it's a loss making entity.

NLNG: Nigeria owns 45% but doesn't manage it and it's a profit making entity and one of largest gas production firms in the world.

NNPC collects money on behalf of the federal government
so in your miserable old age, you dont even know what NNPC does?
Who gave a bingo like you access to the internet?

What does NNPC do?
NNPC doesn't drill ( They just partner with Oil companies in Joint Ventures)
NNPC doesn't refine.

I see you've been showing your ignorance up and down the thread calling NNPC a regulator..... News flash, DPR is the regulator not NNPC

As you can see from the Petroleum Ministry's website, NNPC handles commercial venture a.k.a collect money for the government while DPR regulates.

You can as well say the website is lying.

3M jobs a year is not realistic.

ekanDamie:

It depends on province. In SK it can be less than 2yrs.
Bottom line is, they still get. How many people get any Govt housing here?

Some people who work government live in Nigeria live in government houses.

I may be wrong but your post is something someone who see and try to come into Canada illegally.

You do realize there are homeless people in Canada right?

Bawss1:


You seem to be missing the nuance under focus here. You're not getting the inaccuracies you have about Canada and how that can be instrumental in giving people the wrong impression of things instead you default to a Nigeria vs Canada comparison which is not the issue here.

You are on point.

tandoe:
If someone says you’re dead won’t you come out and prove that you’re alive?? If Buhari is still living, then he should come and prove himself real.

Are you serious or being sarcastic?

ekanDamie:

Oga it depends on the province one is. In a province like SK its not that expensive. Besides you have all facilities necessary to justify such rent.
Most immigrant in months get a subsidized govt housing and pay way less. Still they still get value. Its all about that. Value!!!

Where did you get the "most immigrants get subsidized housing" from?

There's a five year wait list in Ottawa for social housing.

ekanDamie:

Lol. @Planetx. When I say they do, I don't mean naturally. But its as good as picking money on the tree. 24hrs electricity, free/subsidized high standard of education for your kids. Govt even pays u about 200k monthly for your child's upkeep if u apply, subsidized housing, minimum wage is 11CAD/hr 1Cad is about 260. The lowest job earn u above 400k every month. If you a professional u can rake home 1M every month.
Pls tell me how else u want money to grow on trees. That's y whites can go and watch a dog shitting competition. They are well fed.
Its those over here that go thru asylum n refugee that I am against but if you go there and u have an education or u can work round d clock without education. In 1 year u would be better of than a bank manager with all the MSC over here.

You are converting to Naira but people in Canada don't spend in Naira.

A two bedroom apartment in most cities go for above $1k a month.

Guess your father supplies 74% of Nigeria's forex needs abi?

NNPC collects money on behalf of Nigeria. Any fucking agency can be given that task. NITEL was sold and the country didn't collapse, rather it moved forward. The only thing the Nigerian government should be doing is regulation (see NCC, NERC, NAFDAC) et al.
NCC doesn't sell phone's or data or doesn't anything remotely close to the Telcomms but its doing it job well.


You should spend more time reading .

Kingspin:
Then NNPC ought have reach it potential like CNOOC< LOC, ARAMCO and co. NNPC is a puppet of government officials. The only oil industry in the world where stealing and chaos is their birth right. Those oil country you mention above are not directly run by government the way Nigeria does their things.

You can imagine someone comparing NNPC with Petrobras or Aramco...

The audacity to even put them in the same sentence is mind boggling.

Acidosis:


The level of reasoning on this thread is just so nauseating. So many unproductive minds here, just the same way some ediots hold on to their dead grandfather's land in the village when they could sell it off and reinvest same proceeds on another asset with a better prospect.

While these ediots raise shoulders and claim inheritance over some unproductive and valueless acres of land in the village, some right thinking investors are buying off lands with value and reselling elsewhere to make profit and more profit.

If OBJ and Atiku wanted to steal more from Nigerians, they would have done so easily without necessarily selling assets. After all both OBJ and Atiku did not buy OAU and Unilag, they instead built new models from scratch.

A lot of Nigerians don't know what an an asset.

NNPC is not an asset, it's a liability. The oil in the ground is the asset.
NNPC is an advanced and legalized agbero. Collecting money for doing almost nothing.

Oga Nicon Insurance is still very much in operation. Two relatives have been working there since 2009.

I can't discuss NNPC with a blind individual that cant read, whats you expect Nairaland to be in your local dialect.

Lol...

NNPC has been run by Buhari in the last three years, how are they doing? Have you seen their accounts?

ORIENTATION101:
nnpc is the shock absorber for nigerian economy remove it and see nigeria crumble to her knees.a country that depends on forex cannot afford to loose the highest contributor of scarce forex to wolves ready to devour the reminant of the country

You have no idea what NNPC does.

jpphilips:


Can you please shut up? If not for Atiku and OBJ's scam, NNPC would've been like Shell in our JDZ with Sao tome,
NPDC would've been steering our local production capacity if Jonathan and Maduele didn't divert their oil blocks, so if NNPC hasn't ventured outside Nigeria, blame Idiots like Atiku and co.

NNPC was formed in 1977 and not 2000 but keep lying to yourself.


Oh by the way has NNPC gotten better in the last 3 years?

ORIENTATION101:
will u just shut up already what nonesense re you talking about you want to sell the most prized asset that the country is surviving on for privatization so that iocs can finally crumbled what is left in nigeria .you must be mad to think nigeria will be able function better without having nnpc

NNPC is not an asset, NNPC is a liability.

Do you even know what NNPC does?

If oil companies pay directly into the fed account, who determines what is sold and how much? Who monitors the service contracts of the IOC's? Who regulates the IOC's? Who provides petroleum products for you?

You assume the IOC's are loyal and honest that they will declare in your interest abi? Go and read about NAPIMS and DPR before you disgrace yourself further.

Libya is stupid to have LOC, Saudi is silly to have Saudi Aramco, Russia is a f00l to have Gazprom, China is crazy to have CNOOC & SINOPEC, Brazil is fvcked to have Petrobras, Malasia is silly to have Petronas, Iran is Atikulated to have IOC abi?

When you don't understand what is on the table, shut the fvck up!!

Lol are you seriously comparing, NNPC with Petrobras, Aramco and co?
Petrobras has assets outside of Brazil ( refineries, drilling and production) while NNPC can't even maintain just one refinery in Nigeria. Oh by the way, Petrobras is semi public.

SINOPEC has assets in Nigeria and other foreign countries.

The only thing NNPC has with those companies are they are majorly owned by governments outside that, they are not in the same leagues at all.

You should take your own advice and shut up because you are clueless. Comparing SINOPEC, Petrobras and Aramco to NNPC? are you high?

jpphilips:


Stop saying what you dont know, a multi billion dollar investment needs its assets preserved and security else Almajiris like you will balkanize it, you are comparing the NNPC with Ajaokuta? Are you high on semen?
Does it mean this generations knows nothing?

1) Ajaokuta is not an asset, its a liability.
2) NNPC is not an asset, its a liability.


You should keep up with the times.

jpphilips:


Do you really understand what it means to sell 90% of NNPC? So how does Atiku intend to fund his budget and maintain currency stability? With his Anus?
Atiku is a junkie

NNPC as it is is a trading company. It holds the Government shares in JV's with other Oil companies. Rather than give monies to NNPC, oil companies can pay the directly to the federation account.

We save money spent on paying fat salaries to inefficient workers.

jpphilips:


Sure you didn't know Atiku tried to sell Ajaokuta too?

Now I am disappointed in him for not selling it.

duwdu:


Simple: Buhari with his personal handlers wasn't in control of anything then. He wasn't even in control of the majority of the delegates to their national convention, for example.

If you won't grasp that simple concept, or that even Buhari himself is not a saint (it's all relative,) then I don't know how else to respond to you.

If Buhari and and his handlers couldn't take control of a campaign, how would they take control of the country?

No wonder they have been throwing blames since they took over the government.

duwdu:


See reasoning, LOL.

In any case, Buhari and his handlers couldn't have been in control of those who allegedly spent money on that campaign.

Besides, Saraki is most probably just lying and boasting to his audience and minions that he financed his then party, the APC's campaigns in 30 states! Who does that? Was Saraki the only influential politician in the country at the time?

Even Atiku, shortly after he bolted from the APC, once claimed he majorly financed Buhari's campaign. Once he was challenged to prove it or show how he financed the campaign, he went moot.

Capische?

Buhari believes PDP looted the nation yet he's campaign DG was a governor for 8 years in PDP.
Atiku is corrupt but Buhari didn't mind using the private plane to travel around.


Are you telling Buhari and his handlers couldn't have said no to Amaechi and Atiku?
