There is no record of this man working or creating any product in all of his life or running any profitable company in or outside of Nigeria before entering into politics. Dino is a career politician.

No!!!!!
Yes, there is no record of Dino working or managing a business before joining politics. The fact that there is no record or that Dino can't mention what he was doing before politics does not mean he wasn't engaged in something. It is just something he can't mention!. Same for Obi!

Exploration of oil and gas is expensive list I don't know why you guys like arguing unnecessarily.

What does it mean that oil exploration is on the exclusive list?
Being on the exclusive list does not mean states can't participate in oil exploration! It means only FG can regulate the oil industry. States can set up companies that apply for license and participate in whatever part of the oil industry they wish. They can own oil fields, have refineries, distribute fuels, etc. The Aviation industry is on the exclusive list, yet Akwa Ibom has an airline. So, an industry being on the exclusive list does not mean states and local governments can't participate in the industry. It just mean they can't make laws that affects the industry.
Odua investment is owned by the SW states. They have at least one oil field. Why can't other states apply for oil fields?

Bestmanfornow:

I believe you understand sectors in exclusive list

What does it mean if something is on the exclusive list? .
It just means only FG can regulate that industry. It doesn't mean other levels of government can't participate in the industry! Presently,Odua own an oil block. That was why I said govt that want to participate in the oil industry should set up companies and approach FG for relevant licenses

Bestmanfornow:
Anambra should be one of the leading state but FG ignored oil and gas in Anambra and other southeast states and busy wasting resources on barren land with no oil

Everything can't be done by govt!
Either get an explorative license and look for oil in Anambra or ask your state governor to set up a company and get the license.

What about the judgement of the case filled by the DELEGATES? Is it in favour of Asue?

DevilsEqual:
Tinubu has a lot of work to do

How could NUPRC be pushing that hard and the IOC still dont wanna do the needful?

Is the IOC not answerable to any higher body?

cant NUPRC report the IOC to a higher body?

It seems there are too many loopholes in that ministry and FG might prolly have to overhaul the entire ministry to fight the corruption

6 of 15 isnt 60% by the way

Because the IOC own the crude and they have usually sold them ahead of time. Why didn't Dangote arrange for his crude supply beforehand?

Blocking roads is NOT a protest and security agencies are correct to disperse people who block roads. Condolences to the family of the deceased.

MadamVanessa:



Nothing can stop this protest not even the frog eyes dullàrd.

Nobody is saying don't protest! Just don't block roads!

The "protesters" were not disturbed until they attempted to block roads! Protest, but don't disturb the rights of other citizens!

They were not jailed for blocking roads! Get your facts right. It is even in the post!
They were jailed for PLANNING to block roads!

pipnator00:
My opinion.. I see this as criminality on the part of the govt! Banks just like every other business is out to make profit for its shareholders and
they will do that in whatever way or loophole available to them.

Currency speculation and trading is what the investment banking arm of every bank does and making profits out of the the ill advised floating of the naira by this government is just one of the available loophole. This windfall tax can only be described as one thing, punishment and mafia style taxation on these banks.

The government should simply take their L and learn never to issue policies without seriously running a stress test of the policy before its issued. This mafia style taxation will send a wrong signal to the wider investment community both locally and internationally.

Plus in case of next time, this mafia style taxation will push the banks into a smarter way of cooking their books/report and never report such profits to the public anymore.

There is a reason this type of tax has a name! It is a windfall tax. Nigeria will not be the first country to tax companies that makes extra profit due to circumstances beyond normal operations. So, it is no criminal.
The govt is trying to make up taxes they lost to manufacturing companies declaring loses due to FX issues.

The FG and the sente should know banks have spent this money oo.

They have paid bonus and dividend! Any tax will be paid on earnings from this year!

The CBN is also asking banks to increase their paid-up capital! Make dem no kill banks oooo

MaziX:
Lol.. this is what we need on nairaland not all this tribal wars.. Make person just come online start to laff like Goat last born My own dick Hmmmmmmmm I Don carry many Stds I still dey knack raw.. wiffy still dey observe.

But for this guys up there saying they a man arrested them cux they were dating there wives.. Na lie.. even that police officers go lose him job if they dare.. 2 adults dating them selves.. u wan arrest.. even if helinues wife bring body.. she go collect

It is actually a crime in Nigeria to toast married woman. Talkless of dating her.
Men that know what they are doing will ensure the womaniser goes to jail, not only cell.

aderadio1:
The protest is next month, they have not blocked the road yet. So chill. Btw when we block the road for few minutes prayers on Fridays, are we committing crime?

Yes!

Muslims blocking roads or any reason are committing crimes.
Fact!

aderadio1:
2020 protest is about police/Sars brutality. That was why police were targeted. This August protest is about bad governance. Police should not try to shoot if the protesters are not violent.
Let Nigerians protest peacefully, it's their right.

Govt too should do something about the economic situation. It's terrible down there.

Bocking the road is a crime! If the Nigerian Govt should apply relevant laws against protesters, you will label the govt despotic.
You can protest, but don't infringe on the rights of freedom of movement of others

ravensckar:
Paid agents are all over this forum trying to deter people from their fundamental right.

"No protest allowed in Lagos" "Protest in your region" and all the bla bla bla.

We're talking about protesting against hunger, hardship, insecurity and the political rascality of the ruling class. You guys have started fanning the embers of tribalism because of the crumbs that you were paid.

It's the same way you folks were shouting "Yoruba Ronu" during election period as if Tinubu's misrule wouldn't affect everyone. Una don start again abi?

Much later when the situation of the country gets worse, it's you foo.ls that will still litter this forum (with your alt monikers) to beg for handouts. Shebi suffer no dey tire una abi?


Meanwhile, I'm a full-blooded Yoruba man and I'll participate in the protest should it hold. No amount of threat or blackmail will deter me. Anybody wey do anyhow reach my side, him go see anyhow.

#Enough_of_This_Nonsense

This is about Lagos only. Go and protest in your state. If you like burn down all your state have. Lagos state people are saying they are not interested in any protest after what happened during ENDSARS.

Tsarbomba:
I can see something is wrong with you upstairs. Where in my post did I advocate for violence protest, and whyshould I go and protest inlagos?

This post is about police readiness in Lagos! In Lagos.

Police readiness against violent protest in Lagos.

Tsarbomba:
what? Are you mentally ok? why should I leave my state and travel 500 km to go and protest in lagos?

I hope you will protest in your state then!

Can you imagine a stammerer engaged in a shouting match?

I wish there is a recording of that scene!

alphaNomega:
i do that every day. nothing like that

We are humans! We see only what we want to see! I can assure you that all 3 countries are worse off security wise since the coupists took over

alphaNomega:
yes it has!

When was the last time you heard they had security issues?

Everyday!!!!

Just Google the countries and read about them!

If they are thriving without Ecowas why should they. It is a voluntary organisation that does no one no good.
There was Ecowas and Malians and Burkinabe were facing a horrendous onslaught from Tuaregs/fulani.
We wet we
dey Ecowas, what has been it's benefits?

Who told you they are thriving? Apart from Serial Lone and Liberia, the 3 are the poorest in the region! They are coupist that don't want to be accountable! All 3 coupist claimed security issues were reason they deposed their leaders. Have security improved in the countries?

Standing5:
the old river niger bridge I heard was shaky

It wasn't. If it was shaking, it would require repair. If it was beyond repair, it would have been closed to traffic.

Standing5:

Is there no road that can take one from Badagry, Lagos to Kebbi or Sokoto already?

What is the point being in debt, with jobless souls that are hungry and then try to build a super alternative route to one random rural state like sokoto or kebbi?

This is how our debt keeps pilling up. We build project for the sake of looting returns and real estate appeal.

Infrastructure when well planned return more to the economy than the cost.
Yes, there is a route from Sokoto to Lagos presently, but it is too long! Sokoto and Lagos are directly above each other. They should be connected by the shortest distance.
Was there not an existing bridge over the Niger at Onitsha? Why did the Igbo clamoured for another till they got it?
The Lagos to Sokoto road will also connect Nigeria to Niger! If we can get Niger to import and export more of their goods from Nigeria, more business for Nigerians.

Both the soldiers that were involved in the January 1966 coup and the soldiers that put down the coup said that Emmanuel Ifeajuna was the leader of the coup, yet someone is posting screenshots of Wikipedia and another is asking me useless and senseless questions.

@Seun and the Mods.

This report has been debunked!
So why is it on the front page? Seun, are you using your medium to spread false information?

This should be deleted. It is false!

ElevationD:





You are then not a student of history. You are not a good reader. Your bias is unnecessary.

Aside from the event of October last year, the major reason Israel daily destroys people and infrastructure in Gaza is the almost everyone in Gaza is Hamas. If you will take your time to read wide, you’ll discover that the places where hostage Israelis have been released from are guarded by the so called civilians. The reason forHamas is to draw the attention of the international community and speedily facilitate the creation of the state of Palestine.

The same goes for Hezbollah. They have no business, except sentiments. When the draw Israel into a war, they fancy their chances, collaborating with Iran, Hamas, PLA and the Houthis of completely destroying Israel. The reason for hiding weapons in civilian areas is the same for Hamas. In the end they cause plenty civilian casualties among their people as usual and draw condemnation for Israel.

It is unfortunate that this happens presently. Lebanon is not in an economic condition to go into a full blown war against Israel, caused by Hezbollah. Their economy presently is in tatters. The humanitarian crisis would be difficult to handle. Do it is better for Hezbollah to respect themselves.

Maybe you do not know. Israel is a nuclear armed nation and will deploy chemical weapons if provoked to act. Iran itself must thread with plenty of caution.

Lastly, for those of you who see the war from a religious perspective, please re-focus your lenses. It a battle for ancestral lands for the Palestinians. It is a battle to stay in their own lands by the Israelis. Our prayer is that a two state solution can be reached for peace to reign. Our hope is that those terrorist who deceive others that they fight in the name of their religion, must put an end to it.

You should at least make some research before commenting on anything you don't know.
Even Israel said the total number of Hamas fighter is about 20,000.. Just 20,000. Gaza had a population of about 2.5M How is this "almost everybody in Gaza is Hamas"?
Just accept Israel is committing genocide! There is no other explanation.

It is not proper for the governors to be saying this when the FG and labour are still on the negotiating table.

It is not only FG and Labour that are negotiating. State governors and Employers of labours are also represented.

So they are correct in stating their own side of thew story

For breakfast I had Bread and steaming hot Hausa KOKO (Pap) with No milk or sugar just enough ginger and cloves to spice up my morning.

Bread- ₦100
(This bread is the cheapest you can get in this region. It tastes like cardboard paper but it is very filling. Some people say it is so cheap because they mix the flour with gero millet and sawdust)

Koko -₦50

Breakfast TOTAL = ₦ 150

You mean you bought and ate something mixed with sawdust?
