The cooking gas is a natural resources that is produce here.Other countries buy from us.

False, LPG is a manufactured product and does not occur naturally
Its components propane and butane must be separated in complex gas processing plants or from very expensive oil refinery or LNG plants.

We don't supply LPG to other countries we rather import to augment out local production.

Dangote refinery will produce LPG as by products and the ongoing train 7 NLNG plant will increase domestic production but it will still be sold at market prices but will benefit from no VAT policy on locally produced LPG

MURIC Director, Prof Ishaq Akintola, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.


The Muslim Rights Concern has urged the Nigerian Government to declare the first of Muharram Hijrah, which is the first day in the Islamic calendar, as a public holiday to favour Muslims.

MURIC Director, Prof Ishaq Akintola, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.

Prof. Ishaq Akintola, Director of MURIC

According to Akintola, the New Year celebrations according to the Gregorian calendar was “unfair, unjust and undemocratic” to Muslims in Nigeria.

He stated that if the Nigerian Government failed to properly recognise the first day of the Muslim calendar as it has recognised the Christian calendar, it should stop declaring New Year holidays.

Akintola said, “As usual, the Federal Government declared January 1, 2022, a public holiday in recognition of the first day of the Christian Gregorian calendar but because the day fell on a Saturday, FG created an alternative by declaring the following Monday a public holiday.

“This is an aberration and a gross injustice because Nigerian Muslims have been demanding the declaration of the first day of the Islamic calendar as a holiday for more than 20 years to no avail.

“It simply means that FG under President Muhammadu Buhari is also supporting the Christianisation of Nigeria. It considers the first day of the Christian calendar as sacred while the first day of the Islamic calendar is regarded as unimportant.

“MURIC frowns at this lopsided arrangement. It is unfair, unjust and undemocratic. We demand an immediate review of FG’s holiday policy.

“We demand the declaration of the first day of the Islamic calendar as a holiday to justify the 1st January holiday that is declared annually by FG. January 1 holiday is a Christian colonial creation designed to dignify and rubber-cushion the pomp and pageantry of Christmas. In the interest of peace, FG should review this Christian colonial heritage.

“Nigeria became independent 62 years ago and 62 years is long enough to right wrongs perpetrated by the British slavemasters. Democracy is fraudulent without equal participation, equal rights and justice. 

"We demand parity now and only the recognition of the first day of the Islamic new year can balance the equilibrium and ensure parity, justice and fair play.

“Holidays are part of the dividends of democracy. However, the dividends must not be dished out in a selective manner."

UAE a muslim country just changed it's weekend from Friday/Saturday to Saturday/Sunday to be more in tune with international business days to increase their wealth. Meanwhile Muslims in Nigeria who need to build wealth more than Emiratis want to further isolate themselves by asking for additional days to do nothing

Retail price of a litre of carbonated drink is about 300 naira. Additional 10 naira by excuse duty will make the industry lose 40% of demand.

How many percentage loss of demand did the recent increase from 200 to 300 a liter cause? They should be deceiving us, nobody likes paying any taxes.

you se when we say Nigeria is not one how can people behaving like they are in other countrie

How can you have political alliance in your own country

I never hear this in other countries so tell me who is dividing Nigeria how can Nigeria work if people start to have alliance in their own country

I'm ashamed of Nigeria.


If you have tweeter please open and see for yourself the alliance they are talking about

https://twitter.com/NASHLEE25/status/1476628224000077830?s=09

Go to USA and see alliance between different zones of the country, east coast, west coast, corn belt, coal region, environmental activist, arms region, irish-americans, black-american, spanish-americans, Jewish lobby, religious groups etc.

Go to UK, they have Welsh, Scottish, English, Irish alliances to win and share power.

In Germany you have Bavaria regional tendencies, Ruhr valley

Don't be deceived, every country with groups and democracy must learn to align

Angelfrost:


What exactly did you hope to gain by posting such a picture about an internationally condemned humanitarian crisis?!!

A picture of innocent kids dying of malnutrition is not something you joke about or mock people with.

I fear for the coming generation... If young people can be so insensitive and obtuse now, imagine what becomes of their offspring! Smh.

But your people are free to call others AlmaJiri, post their tribal marks to mock them and post pictures of homeless beggarly children.

Well done for your hypocritical anger

LET THIS PEOPLE GO, SO YOU CAN REST AND THEY TOO CAN REST.



NO NEED SAYING TO BIAFRANS OR SHOWING HOW MUCH YOU HATE BIAFRANS, I'M VERY CERTAIN THE BIAFRANS ARE NOT TRYING TO LEAVE NIGERIA BECAUSE THEY LOVE YOU.



JUST LET THE BIAFRANS EXIT.

Start relocating to Biafra then you'd be taken serious.

But Ipob locked down your 5 states every Monday and all the leaders and people kept quiet and complied.

As your usual pattern you have all kept quiet with the ipob ban of national anthem and beef.

Come and free Kanu and get presidency now.

ScamHunter:

Read the post again. There's a reason folks like Orji Kalu and Rochas were mentioned. Make a real Igbo president and no one would dare classify the contraption as a shithole that it has been for decades. The Igbo magic touch is what you áll should beg for. Are you not tired of the mess you live in and call country? Even the whiteman likes the fact that you Africans are at the last rung of humanity ladder. I guess you do not want that to change. Have you ever wondered why Igbo are the only tribe that is confident enough to want their own country? They are both achievers and survivors. You either decide that you want to make progress by letting them bring you out of your rot or learn to live without Igbo.

You can only mention those Ibos who must not be president but have no idea or too scared to mention those Ibos you consider worthy.

That alone shows you don't know what you're talking about? Is it Anyim the sleeping Senate president that has no achievement to point for all positions he held?

Ibos don't want any Biafra, they are only gunning for the zoo presidency, as Buhari said the noise is only about looking for a better deal within Nigeria.

ScamHunter:
Judging from the trend that the PDP is gravitating towards an Igbo presidency, it is obvious that the party would be doing the right thing if that endorsement happens. APC is advised to follow suit so that both major parties would give the country a good chance at true renaissance. Nevertheless, Igbos that should be supported are those with the track record of performance, antecedence and the true Igbo spirit. There are Igbos and there are Igbos. Endorsing charlatans like Orji Uzor Kalu or Rochas is akin to endorsing a non-Igbo and other typical thieving Nigerian politicians. Igbo presidency would move Nigeria from the path of darkness to light. From retrogression to genuine progress, giving the country a place among those with purpose and direction. Let's make it happen. 60 years of moving in circles must be stopped.

Majority of Nigerians are not ready to live under the risk of an ibo president.

Just take a look at ibo states and conduct worldwide and know what to expect, clannishness, nepotism, superiority complex, criminal tendencies, security breaches

All na envy and jealousy, he wishes he was in Tinubu's position without putting in the work and skills required.
It's obvious Dele Rotimi is the rabid dog

maestroferddi:
Stupid question...

Let Atiku go instead of the South West getting two terms or chances when the South East is yet to get one...

In any case, the North East, where Atiku hails from, is yet to get her turn.

As much as the Igbos want the presidency, it will not be the end of the world if Atiku becomes president when from all probability, the Igbo candidate will serve after he is through.

The Tinubu arrangement will mean that the Igbos will have to wait for another 16 years before dreaming of the presidency...

We shall not allow that to happen...

The way I see it you will need at least 32 years of calming down to be considered for the Presidency.

Beremx:
There were no Fulani terrorists killing and displacing his people when he was governor. His people enjoyed security.That’s a very good and wonderful performance from him. Oya tell us what the current APC Governor has achieved so far.

What did he do to achieve that?

Even exchange rate was below 200 in Niger in his time as governor, what did he do to maintain low exchange rate?

Kennydoc:

Oga, its built with a loan from China. It has nothing to do with low oil price.

Every Chinese infrastructure projects include 10-15% counterpart funding.
Par adventure you don't know what that means, it requires Nigeria to pay 10-15% of the project cost before work can start.

We could not find the counterpart funding to start these projects during oil boom when we sold oil worth over $100bn a year. Now that we hardly sell $30bn worth a year we now find the money. That's what that guy is saying.

nameo:


Will you SHUT it there with your silllly propaganda.

PDP, as useless as they were, built more than 10 power plants. Don't just go there.

This Govt haa been a FAILURE in the power sector as Buhari himself admitted in his last Channels interview.

You goons should stop shopping for one or two uncompleted projects and try to use it to colour-paint this useless Admin

Dont!!

Even 35 year old projects that PDP did not touch for 16 years have been completed
Example :
Itakpe - Warri rail started 1987
Zik Mausoluem started 1997
Kismambila Dam started 1985

Their is nothing nice about this piece of crap, hydro electricity is obsolete and only poor, corruption based country make use of it

See another ignorant failed citizen.

China recently completed the great gorges dam supplying 25,000mw till today. USA TVA dam system is a strategic part of their power base supply.
Are these poor and corrupt countries?

You are looking for everyway to denigrate your country and by extension disrespect your origin

Jakumo:


Those Chinese loans always include a long list of consequences that kick in as a result of late or defaulted loan repayment by debtor nations. Most often China gently grabs full ownership rights to the entire project. That crafty nation recently took full ownership control over an entire international airport previously belonging to an African nation as its sole gateway to the outside world, when that nation failed to repay a Chinese "infrastructure " loan.

In former Eastern Europe, China recently took control of virtually all natural resources belonging to the tiny nation of Moldova when that country was late in refunding a highway to nowhere white elephant project loan placed in a baited trap for a previous administration to tread upon there.

This hydroelectric power dam being built in Zungeru Nigeria will soon enough belong to China when the dust settles and the multi-billion dollar loan repayment terms are not met by a new Nigerian federal government a few short years from now. China's long-term agenda is to take ownership control over all this planet's nations that are cash-poor but resource-rich.

No airport was taken over in any African nation.

Even if it happens, it was built with Chinese funds take it like a foreign investor has built the infrastructure and holds the right to concession till the loan is liquidated or paid off

codemaniacs:


The coastline is in southern Nigeria so northern Nigerian politicians and power mongers will kick against such ideas because it will empower the south..

It's the same reason Nigeria doesn't have massive coal power plants and gas power plants because coal and gas are majorly in eastern Nigeria.

Unless they own companies, same reason they support d:angote refinery in the south.

Southerners ruled the country for 13 years of the last 21 years of democracy and they slept off and forgot there was a coastline and coal in the east.

So?
Every American owes over 35m equivalent.

Each Ghanaian owes far more than 190k

I think some elders in SE might have also been taking this meth drug.

Sometimes when Ohaneze elders speak, one would have no choice than to ask if they are on cheap drugs

The whole region Continue to repeat same thing over and over again and be expecting different results..

They can't see their own conduct shows they sent Kanu on the treasonable journey hoping to profit from it.

NaijirianKing:
The fact is that the North is looking for fairness and balance. The NC has been left out in the cold, and rather than doubling down, the North has decided to make the NC the flagbearer, this is fair.

The southern unity is based on a farce that other parts of the south are not falling for. the SE is yet to produce a president or even a VP, and yet the SW is pushing southern unity to bring about a SW candidate and yet you are criticizing the North for pushing for a NC presidential candidate?

Where does the deception end and truth begin? People are wiser now, the North is offering the NC the Presidency and the SE the VP, who has a better deal for either zones? The SW wants the presidency at the expense of the south and that will lead to failure.

Politics is not about sentiments but offering people what is in their interest. It is not in the interest of the SE/SS for the SW to once again have the presidency after voting against the SS and trying to move in front of the SE to have the presidency twice before that region has it once. If the SW was truly for unity of the south they would line up behind the SE and push a southern candidate.

The North may be behind in certain areas, but the North understands politics and how the game is played. NC Presidency and SE VP is the winning ticket. The SW is politically on an island, not embraced by the greater south and positioning themselves against the North. You see where that will leave you.

Enough talk.

Nigeria did not start in 1999, SE has had the presidency, head of state and VP, Speaker and Senate president from 1960-83 when the SW had nothing but just one head of state in that period.

logicalman:
.Igbos elite are busy explaining to Nigerians why Igbos should be supported to produce president come 2023 while their brothers from the south west are boasting that they have a candidate who is smarter,richer, powerful and well connected than any other person from the south.
pride goes before falling.

Smartness and people skills are virtues

clarocuzioo:


Orji Uzor Kalu donated #500M to Obasanjo' s election and Igbos massively voted for Obasanjo when Yorubas did not vote for him.

Obasanjo was given the ticket out of pity to compensate the yorubas for the death of MKO Abiola.

Yorubas did not even vote Obasnjo nor built any so called political bridge but Obasanjo was made president.

It's obvious you envy the Yoruba so much you don't mind to turn your region to war torn zone to have what they got.

Goodluck ebele in your endeavour

logicalman:


When my father with other Igbos were having meetings for actualization of Yoruba president in 1998/ 1999 ,fought together with NEDECO so the Yorubas will not be cheated out Don't be too Desperate to put the south in your pocket because it won't work.Obasanjo a Yoruba man govern for 8yrs today you have denied and have label him an Igbo. Osibanjo has been vice president for 6yrs and by grace of God he will compete his 8 years.
If Southerners unity is not for rotation of power among the 3 political regions of the south so that each component will have the sense of belonging and equity count south south and south east out.

If you ambition is Osinbajo VP position go and keep competing for that. I think SW is prepared for next level which is presidency and they're not willing to trade the chance off to any region because whomsoever is contesting or not leaving the slot to them alone.

logicalman:
Nigerians especially people from southern Nigeria should be concerned of the agitation in the south east which is causing security challenges and with time it will spread to other part of the country if care is not taken.
The feeling that they have been marginalised and treated unequally are part of the reasons given by the youths for the on going agitation. Their percentage may be less than 5 % of the Igbos but they are convinced and determined in pursuing their course .
More than 90% of the Igbos believe in one Nigeria and willing to defend the nation but not at the altar of marginalization and killing,
The South need to assure south east that they have their interest at heart and indeed their brothers by standing by them now there is a loud call for a president from the south east. let us standby any credible candidate for a lasting peace of the nation and equity,

Southern unity means all regions should bring their credible candidates to contest primaries in the various parties and we support the most possible to win

DropsMic:
He's right tho.. Noise makers that's what we are.. Pure water now na ₦20, prices of food have doubled (some trippled in price) and how did Nigerians react. We made noise online and then adapted to the situation of things because that's what we do best.

Nigerians must get sense by fire by force

Price increase is global and will be especially hard on unproductive people like Nigerians. What exactly do people in order countries find in their market that is made in Nigeria. But we want the right to continue to import every rubbish produced from India , china, Malaysia etc without selling anything in exchange, why won't their economy be more stable. Go back to the farm or make something for export

nick50:
Not suprised cos the old hag is not a Nigerian na greediness cause afonja miscreants to foist him on us

Still noise making as predicted

CSTRR:
The problem is not the party, the problem is the leader.

Roads and Bridges should be the barest minimum for any decent leader.

It doesn't take much to give contracts to China.
And it is a shame on past Leaders that Buhari has best them in that regards.

The real test of governance is changing Nigeria from being the poorest country on Earth, improving living standards and taming insecurity.

Do we honestly believe buhari has the capacity to do that?

Did we have good security before Buhari? Did we not have frequent ethnic and religious riots under the past leaders with death in thousands? The only difference now is awareness level and eady delivery of news content.
Coupled with mutating insurgency, and emerging threats which are fall out of climate change, serious economic challenges mostly due to past bad choices, global recession and pandemic. Only shows our current structure and security architecture are unable to cope with the current trends.
