DeLaRue:
I personally don't have a problem with the price of electricity, though I can understand that the experience of those in Band A is probably different.

I have always used electricity judiciously, so any pre paid electricity I buy tends to last for a reasonable length of time.

I have always been fastidious about switching off all gadgets FROM THE WALL.

First thing I do when I get out of bed is to pull my curtains so I take advantage of natural light. So, most if not all internal lights are off for most parts of the day unless I absolutely need it.

If I am leaving a room and not returning to that room within 5 mins, I switch off the light. Lights in any room that is not occupied is always switched off.

These are just habits that have become part of my routine. I don't do them because of electricity bill, but it has a very positive effect on my electricity bill. I have not bought electricity for about 3 months now, so cost of electricity is really not an issue for me.

Many Nigerians use electricity wastefully because we have one of the cheapest electricity prices in the world. But that is going to change with the introduction of new bands.

All wetin be dey my mind to tell you eh... As I scroll down, I con see say others don tell you already.

Ikeja electric band A is beyond off and on bulb light. They literally come after your life.
Pray you don't ever find yourself there.

Men are evil. All what men think about is sex.
Never leave your girl child with any man please. This gender is cursed.

Be jumping up and down looking for people to quote and reply you.

Yeyeyeyeye.. men are blah blah blah.

I pray you heal from whatsoever personal trauma you had with men.

backbencher:


So, how would you then pay the farmer, transporter, wholesaler, supplier, miller, etc etc...out of that N6000.

What you are suggesting is tantamount to me suggesting that we should pay you a third of your salary instead of the whole lot.

Why I am making fun is that you people want cheap stuff, because you think that people should suffer loss so that you can have 50kg rice for 6000 naira?

No wonder your country is in debt. It really costs a lot in loans to keep things cheap.

Communist countries tried what you are suggesting now, and most of them went broke eventually.

Rice can never be 6000 naira for a 50kg bag for the simple reason that we don't have an economy that attracts forex and a strong Naira as a result.

Also, even then, rice cannot be as low as N6000 only. Rice price is determined by farmers, transporters, wholesalers and retailers., and millers. They determine the price they would sell rice to you so that they can make a profit.

Plus we import most of the rice we use. Cost of transporting the rice is another matter.

Modified 2

I don't support the rice pyramid. As far as I am concerned, Nigeria has a long way to go before we can call ourselves a major rice producer. Less than 10% of our agriculture is not mechanized, and we are not like Thailand and Brazil that have lots and lots of wetland...far more than we can ever hope for, to produce rice by the tens of millions of tonnes.


The point of my rant is that many Nigerians have this idea that things should be cheap to help the poor. That's not how an economy is run, and running our power and petrol industries on such a principle is why they are in a mess

Be there sounding like who knows what he is saying.
So when rice was cheap, who was paying for the farmers means of transportation and blah blah blah...
Bad policy is a major player of inflation caused by this yeye government. And that is because they are very confused and make unwise decisions not carefully thought through. See the mess it has caused, and you dey yarn opata.

killyaselfie:
Twitter twit Okwuluoka writes “I miss the Christianity of the crusades”. I wonder why because the white cross bearing savages would have lynched him and tore pieces of his body off as souvenirs.

He doesn’t have to miss the crusades either because the white cross bearing savages operate under the Dum Diversas and have enslaved, colonized, raped, and murdered you to their God’s satisfaction.
Their ongoing mental crusades have resulted in inferior creatures who wail louder than the bereaved.

So much energy trying to sound smart, and as if you know what you are saying. But in truth and reality, you are Jon Snow. #Peace.

Someone is giving you evidence of electoral fraud, and you're still calling it claims.

I see how CNN, FOX and the media in general is influencing your thought pattern.

Liberate yourself from that bondage. You can.

ThatFairGuy:

Of course I do.
Biden's electoral Collage and his votes were higher than that of trump if that's what you wanna say.
To now claim any fraud is very undemocratic of trump. He has been doing these ages

Ardar:
1) Jukun millitants attacks fulani herdmen ~ Women and children killed.

2) fulani attacks Tiv farmers ~ 5 killed.

3) fulani retaliates and attacks Jukun millitants ~ scores killed.

4) Bandits attacks a village in kastina ~ Corpses every where.

5) Boko Haram terrorists which is majorly kanuri's bombs a church and a mosque ~ Hundreds killed.

6) Tiv farmers retaliates and invades a fulani community ~ Cows butchered.

7) Muslims from Northern kaduna attacks Christians from Southern Kaduna ~ Hundreds killed, churches and surrounding buildings burnt.

8 ) Hijabi brain washed girl blows up a market in Borno ~ Her body splattered disgustingly every where, few people injured, no death.

And so on and so forth including this one, now I ask my sef, all these are happening in one region and they want me to believe that for some insane reason (Which is religion obviously) that the north is united? nah I don't believe it.

United in poverty and lies

mvem:
are you a kid...nnpc is delaying because they are following nairaland thread and want to fault all predictions, are you joking ... are you a foreigner in this country or you don't know how things are done. Everyone knows merit will be but has a certain percentage

Yes, I am a kid and a joker.
It is also obvious that you find it difficult to understand when you read English language.

Read my guess again and show me this line from your statement... "And you are saying it is all merit,"... I mean where I said it is all merit in case you still find it difficult to understand what I am trying to show you. (Mature and Serious Man)

Since we do know for sure that NNPC HR is following this thread, I just want to make a guess that they are enjoying the way people are unsettled about the release date. And this could mean that APL is very close. They just want to let it appear that all sources were wrong, and then unpredictably, we will just receive our APL. This will reduce the credibility of all sources thereby increasing the credibility of the whole recruitment process.
So when everyone is tired of sources, as it seems already, then will they release the APL.
My guess also is that to a large percent, the process is based on merit. However, we do know our country, FCC must play its role and that I guess will go through top politicians influence and/or top people in management.
The process is largely based on merit, FCC influence in used to balance everything so that no geopolitical zone is not properly represented.

So let your hope be alive and keep believing who/what you believe.

Remember, this is just a guess that came from personal meditation on the whole thing, comments, and sources.

APL is not far, just chill.

scobyy2007:
Someone I know updated me this afternoon. Below is what I was told;

1. The lists have been ready two months ago
2. The selection was reasonably on merit
3. Calls will start rolling out hopefully next week.

Thank you

I know this guy is just guessing. There is no someone from anywhere. Why?
The list wasn't ready 2 months ago. If there was ever a list 2 months ago, it has been torn apart and a new one prepared or still in preparation.

Selection based on FCC is barely on merit.

Calls hopefully rolling out next week is just to raise people's hopes. Those who wants to hear something positive to keep them moving.

APL can come anytime or no time close. But I'd like to go with the word of the GMD, 'soon'.

Ladyjane5657:
The way every one ..i mean every acclaimed sauce here keeps consenting to this popular opinion that Apl has been typed/ printed/ photocopied/scanned / about to be dispatched is becoming amusingly amusing.. Makes one wonder: since every damn source is/almost validating the info, DAFUQ is the damn Apl? !!!!!!!!

Like Benin pipo don hijack am for air? ( beloved Beninians, na joke o )
Or some prince of Persia?
Or u guys heard some UPS and dem DHL delivery trucks catching fire anywhere?

I tell u.. This is a rare case of SAUCES feeding off other SAUCES!
Laughable!
Something be telling me to change these people's names from : Harry potter and the sorcerers stone to APL and Naira land sorcerers ..

Bottom line... Y'all soured sauces should shut the **** up. Let Apl come in piece..

You are the best and true source of them all.
False hopes every week. APL might just be farther than what these sources are claiming.

FrLukas:


Maybe that has to do with the fact that he has pocketed the destiny of youths like you.

Unfortunately most of those youths are his greatest supporters.

You think that to fight Buhari you have to support Jonathan?

Or do you really actually think Jonathan was a good president? In which case I might have to ask you how old are you.

Anyone who witnessed Jonathan's buffoonery as an adult will never say anything nice about the dolt.

You are indeed consumed with hatred for GEJ that you cannot differentiate between good and evil.
A soul consumed with so much hatred for one truly can never see anything good in the person. On this note, I choose to no longer discuss this with you, rather pray and hope that someday, you will begin to see the light the same way many others have started seeing the light. You have been in the dark for so long...

FrLukas:
Anyone that hails Jonathan doesn't really have sense.

Ask Buhari to resign but leave Jonathan out of it.

If he had done well, Buhari will be piggy backing his grandkids in Duara at this moment.

Your hatred for GEJ can be likened to that of Nancy Pellosi for Donald Trump.

madridguy:
The Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Mohammed Nami,

Mr Mohammed Nami, i guess its time for you to go. You guys are just painting this administration black with your evil agenda. Una wan kill person with tax? Person cannot buy airtime again now you want to take your wickedness to people selling fufu and vegetable to survive.

It is obvious you don't know why the previous FIRS boss was dropped. Buhari said he wasn't remitting as much as he should. This new guy is just trying to keep his job. Shey dem Don increase minimum wage? Everything too Don increase, including tax.

Wickedinlaw:
You should start receiving calls on Monday. Letters were dispatched today... No questions please..

Please ignore this for your own health safety. Stop letting anxiety push you into believing everything that would give you false hope.
Just be calm.

allthingsgood:
The only thing I learnt from this is that US politicians crave power above all else. I mean, even before the impeachment was sent to their senate, Republicans who are majority already said they will vote to acquit trump. So what's the point. Nancy pelosi tried to ensure fairness, but at the end of the day majority won.

Bottom line, u can do as u please so long as u have power

That's what you get when you publicly vow to impeach the president few hours after he was sworn in. All your cases will be seen as witch hunt and political vendetta and not service to your country. Not even a defence of the constitution, especially when you openly ripped off an important speech a day before the senate vote. What people see is total hatred for Trump and not love for the country.

Jhayphil:



Look, the greater part of all he said was they are working on how to beef up security in the Country. At least, there was a National Security meeting and that was what they all discussed, so let's see how the improvements are made.

What are we going to see that has not been seen in the past years... Or did they start having those security meetings recently...

Honestly, I'm guessing you are the reporter.

Osamabinla:
I am not surprised at Jarus ordeal. The reason is because not everyone wants this recruitment to end in peace. Some are aggrieved that they could not even go past the CBT stage hence they feel the recruitment should be scrapped. So sad.

Secondly, most recruitment in big organizations are usually done in secrecy because there are always too many candidates who know someone at the top. The moment they noticed that Jarus had posted the online. They ll screenshot and send to their connect who will start mounting serious pressure at the towers and this could cause bad blood. Usually when such situations arises, the first suspects are the HR staff whether or not they are the ones who leaked the info. Usually they don’t get sacked but they ll be moved another unit where they may eventually end up being frustrated.

By the way, this days, most organizations do force the staffs handling sensitive roles to sign oath of secrecy. I don’t know of NNPC tho.

Jarus personal info is on his website. I definitely know he would have recieved a lot of calls within this time frame and some staffs would have even called from the towers pretending to be an external person and demanding to know how he got his info. And from there it gets more complicated and frustrating.

I know the recruitment process will end soon for both GTs and EHs. Despite the info being leaked, it would not change much of the plans at this moment. Let’s all be ready to smile and dance for joy. Oga Jarus, epele oo. Sometimes being nice or liberal can land someone into trouble. U have tried.

This person has spoken not as one who isn't sure of what he is saying but as someone who knows more than what he has spoken. Thanks for the positive vibe.

sarrki:


The truth is Gej would have shined if he aligned with the masses .

All Nigerians from across the country supported him in 2011 , we see him as one of us in the seat

He chose to favor the same people that ruined the country

Having a good heart is different from governing a controversial nation like Nigeria

So I believe things wouldn’t have been better

For Pmb I and many want a change and we see him as an alternative due to the approach and assurance he gave during electioneering campaign

But the truth is !!!

It’s a hoax

The truth is that some persons didn't think with their brain how someone will make 1 dollar to equal 1 naira. nor did they on other ridiculously impossible promises. They were carried away with the word "change". We deserve the kind of leaders we get. May not be what we want, but what we deserve.

dermmy:


Don't mind the idiot. His country's MI6 and U.S CIA plunged Iran into chaos in 1953 by toppling Iran's democratically elected prime minister Mohammed Mossadeg and installing the corrupt and dictatorial Shah, Reza Pahlavi. That coup was the beginning of Iran's problem a peaceful country. Now hear what the idiot is saying, as if the world has forgotten. We know who the terrorists are.

History teacher, well done.

Guestlander:


The current crisis was manufactured by Trump to divert attention from his coming impeachment trial. He doesn't care about anybody. This killing will put a lot of Americans in danger.

You are very far. If you have truly been following the impeachment story, you would know that there is no threat from there to Donald Trump.

However, if you have read the New Yorker 2013 article on Suleimani, you would understand that Donald Trump is a bold president who took the decision that a normal politician wouldn't dare to take. True he risks a potential war and losing supports of some allies, but the step he just took is one that the US should have done long time ago.

The fact that the QUD forces have been labeled a terrorist group long ago justifies the fact that Donald Trump (ordering the airstrike against their leader who is also seen as a terrorist by the US even before Trump came into power) has not really acted illegally but just didn't play the politics as it was played.

So the question that should be asked is, what did the QUD forces do that made the US label them a terrorist group? What did Suleimani do that made the US label him a terrorist and a dangerous man?
Take note, the label wasn't put in there in this administration. It has been there long before Donald Trump came into power.

What if APL drops tomorrow,? Its just 1min to tomorrow.

NwaAmaikpe:



This is not GEJ's administration that was licking the ass of the Western world, the UN, US and UK should not interfere in our process at all.
Nigeria is an independent sovereign country for crying out loud.

Some of us are scared to commit suicide but the hate speech bill will now help pass the buck to the government.

I don't like talking down at people's opinions, especially not on my birthday.
But please, take this off, doesn't suite your personality. I'll assume someone else used your account to type this.

Let's just leave NNPC alone for the now. I'm certain that even the GMD does not know when the APL is coming out. I do not believe it is because of the court case. I believe there are a whole lot of things going on that we don't know about.
We only know what we are told, and they only tell us what they want us to know irrespective of the channel through which we get our info.
If you were interviewed, just keep praying and keep hope alive. These delays might just end up be for your favour and you are somewhere complaining about release date. For some persons, the list will not come out until their names are included. There must be a turning and turning until it is their turn.
Be an optimist, believe and pray. It will cost you nothing more than your faith. However, be focused on whatever you are currently doing. Don't stall your life because of the APL.
God bless us all.

Deep down the US know another person will just take his place and position.. Terrorism can never really end as far as human being with bleeped up ideology exist

And so long that good men remain on their course, evil will always be conquered no matter how many of them rise.

midnighter:
Lol and Trump gave a very ridiculous speech! That guy is terrible sha! Cant wait till his term is finished and America will get back to normal

Imagine announcing the death of a notorious Islamist leader and going off point to complain that the US gets a "bad deal" on Iraqi oil contracts, when its your fault that the terrorist was there in the first place

That man is just awful

Like seriously
Define what you mean by normal for America

Like seriously, some persons are really gullible. Nnpc have not paid some persons and now they are asking others they paid twice or thrice to make refund to private accounts. So because some persons think it will somehow in a way boost their chances of getting APL, they are unreasonably willing to pay the money.
Well, una try shall. Let me send my account number so those overpaid can gather the money in my account. When nnpc demands for it, I will do the payment. Don't forget to put down your names and ID.

This is my first time posting here and that's because I'm having a good feeling about this week. Happy new week all.

The day Festus Keyamo won my heart. His words are so real... Everyone would want to have someone like Festus Keyamo as a brother.
