NNPC workers are not civil servants. They are public servants. Those working in public corporations and security agencies like police, army and co are called public servants.
I believe you didn't study Government, Civic Education or Economics in secondary school

Obierika:


Staff of NNPC are not civil servants!

Why blaming the woman for the wickedness of people that import the drugs into the country. Must the government do everything?

I said you’re an educated illiterate but you’re actually an uneducated illiterate . Still dey argue foolishly . Running from pillar to post and finally exposing his bigoted tribalism when logic fails him

Bring your father and your kabiyesi , I will educate all of them and you will prostrate for me

You have nothing , NOTHING to say .

We can leave nairaland and meet offline if you want let me cure your ignorance and tribalism permanently. It will be my honour

BitterTruth0001:


Now i I know you’re mad

Aerodrome is an umbrella term than encompass aiports, airbases, airstrips etc

Your head is emptier than my puppy’s own

See weyrey wey don go far

The topic was about airports , you didn’t say your aerodrome bullshit when someone was beating their chest about Lagos leading the way. When your claim on commercial non-viability was exposed, you shifted to no airport in Nigeria .

Educated gbajue illietrate that doesn’t even know what an aerodrome means

In your small mind you don’t know you shot yourself in the foot

BitterTruth0001:


Sometimes it’s better to not say anything than tk just talk

Cos you’re either ignorant about the issue or you’re so used to spreading malicious lies you don’t even know

Sam Mbakwe airport an aerodrome ? One of the top 6 airports in Nigeria in terms of passenger volume . After Lagos , Abuja , PH, Enugu and possibly Kano airports , which other airport is ahead of Owerri ?? Owerri airport has more traffic than Kaduna International Airport according to FAAN statistics and even beats Kano international airport sometimes


Anambra airport received 142 flights in its first month of operations. In less than 2 months , it jumped to 376 flights . By Dec 2023 , that’s 2 years it had over 4000 flights . That’s average of 166 flights per month .

As of 2018, Asaba airport is at least competing with the likes of Jos airport

Only Ebonyi can be called an aerodrome.


Oga no talk again

BitterTruth0001:


Shut up the chest beating
Leading to where ?

Is Lagos the first to have a state owned airport ?
Infact no SW has been able to build an airport by themselves


Delta built theirs
Anambra built theirs
Ebonyi built theirs
Owerri airport was built by local businessmen

In 2024 , Lagos is just about to embark on one and you’re here shouting

This is true about government workers.

Over 90% of the workers in local government secretariats do nothing apart from gossip. They just earn monthly salary without generating any revenue for the secretariats. I see no difference between them and ghost workers.

Most of the workers in Exams and Records in public universities do nothing apart from gossip. Students queue for payment invoice and queue again for signature after payment. But after final-year exam, the same students will gather all the receipts for paid fees and move from one office to another for clearance. What then do the workers in the Records office do if they can't prepare lists of those who are owing and those who have paid? The students will also move from one office to another, trying to get their results. There are many workers in the office but students queue for not just hours but for days behind the office windows while the workers sluggishly attend to the students.

I know a public secondary school in which SS1, SS2 and SS3 had only one Maths teacher. The same teacher was a lecturer in a State Polytechnic. One SS1 set saw the teacher only 4 times in 3 years (as the set moved from SS1 to SS3). The teacher taught the set Maths twice in SS1 and once in SS2. The 4th time was when the teacher entered the SS3 class once to advise the students to go to lesson centres to prepare for WEAC and NECO. Imagine a teacher being the one telling students to go to lesson centres.

@meinemutter, for your reading pleasure.

Truth is when the naira becomes useful to other countries ( when Chinese importers for instance need naira to import goods from Nigeria), the countries will be the ones proposing a currency trade deal. Fact remains that for now, no top country is willing to exchange their currency with the naira.

franugo:


That's not the way the system works. Firstly, the reason naira cards were suspended from consummating fx denominated transactions was not due to fraud or moving stolen money (not sure where you got that information btw) but because nigerian banks were unable to settle their foreign counterparts.
What happens when you use a naira card to buy an item on aliexpress for instance, is that you will be debited the naira equivalent of the item amount and the merchant's bank will credit the merchant the item amount after a couple of days or hours depending on the platform but your bank will have to source for fx and pay the merchant's bank to refund what the merchant's bank credited to the merchant. It got to a point that nigerian banks were unable to pay their fx obligations as cbn was not releasing fx (due to shortage). This is the reason why naira cards were banned. Dollar cards are allowed due to the fact that the bank does not need to source for the fx, the customer already has the fx before the card can work.
Hope you understand the way it works now and why your solution isn't tenable.

Austindark:
More woos for us

I like their idea. Any well meaning country must not be too dependent on another country.
That thing dey cause see finish.

It might be expensive at first for them, but in the long run it will pay off and they will have their self respect.

franugo:


So how would banks get the fx to settle the merchants after their customers have been debited in naira?

crossfm:
Hehehe.

Wonders shall never end,you mean there are countries who are more corrupt than Nigeria .

Omo I fear such countries.

To even think that the whole of Bayelsa State is comprised of just 8 Local government areas .
Did a project that made me tour some riverine communities years back ,,, come see where people were using same river water they bathe in and shit in, to cook and drink . To make it worse , oil debris floats on top ,,, Chai.

You will wonder if they have a Governor

When I say buy from FG, I don't mean FG operates any oil mine.
In fact all oil mines are in private hands.
However, NNPC have mediates all the crude that have been shipped to Dangote so far.

No oil company will sell in Naira unless the government mandate them to and for
those where significant stake are held by foreigners, they will also need to repatriate
some funds in dollars.

No one is saying Dangote won't have any effect on Forex but it is not like:
we used to import 10 billion dollar of oil before, therefore refining locally means we are
saving $10 billion dollars. Not even close.
Unless it cost zero dollars to produce and refine the fuel.
