Lol. Despite everyone trying to correct you, you still de fall hand.you want the airline to be flexible? Maybe you think it is a molue.Have you heard of what is called "standard procedure" before?
Or you just want to carry entitlement mentality enter the discussion because he is a senator and be disgracing yourself.
Did you read where one airline staff quoted that he was also late the week before?
Make una dey think before una talk abeg

dederocs:

Hatred of who?

You are just a tribal sentimental small mind... airpeace is a public company, these things happen.

If my ticket was cancelled because am 20minutes late I will definitely be angry, the airline must be flexible. You fascists think everyone have a myopic sentimental mind like you all, but it's impossible...the airline should have better trained staff.

Airpeace should handle it's customers with respect and courtesy, they are rendering services to the public.

Is that how your own law and equity work?
No worry you will be arrested in your vicinity or office and be made to answer for what you don't know or a crime you didn't commit.
Your only crime is that are living within the vicinity

They're all not guilty of selling fake drugs, but anyone having a shop in that market where lots of traders are selling fake and expired drugs cannot claim not to know goes on in there and report to the appropriate authorities for necessary action to taken against such traders.

If you remain silent and don't report, you're enabling it according to the law.

I decided to quote you because you really don't understand the DNA and philosophy of an average Igbo man particularly when it comes to politics.An average Igbo man does not care where the President comes from once you can deliver or is delivering value...As it stands now the north can have it for zillions of years since the southner occupying there is misfiring on every cylinder.

helinues:


It's too late. That narration can never sell. The Northerners would rather endure another 4 years of President Tinubu so that they can enjoy their 8 years from 2031 without disruption

And forget it, no politicians can serve one term as president

While I commend Wike for the work he is doing, I ask what's the benefit of commissioning roads that are not completed yet/ reach their end point?
The life camp road that is slated to be commissioned is only the junction that is completed, the road shoots out to dei dei, the maitama/ katampe flyover shoots out to gwarimpa, it's only the flyover that is done and apo/wasa road is also not completed

Lol this your answer just reveal how empty your thinking is. You are just out to spread propaganda.
For your information when he came into the office,he made known his policy direction to everyone. Human capital development, completion of every other project started by his predecessor etc.
You think government is about all building white elephant projects because you want to steal money while the ones on ground is in ruins?
Go and research what the current governor of enugu state is doing at the moment. It's a bit of obi philosophy.when a governor/president ascend a seat you need to do an appraisal of whats it's important.
That's where your President is loosing at the moment, sadly on all fronts.
How do you think expending resources on a road that won't be operational in 5 years is important as looking for strategic ways to stimulate the economy at moment which is like an emergency?

KnowAll:


That is why we don’t want Obi, the man is addicted to not spending money. Left for him why dualised Abuja to Kano road when a single lane is better and cheaper.

I like your submission but I want to ask does it that the current Discos do not have the capacity to identify those that steals their power?

SmartPolician:


Metering has a role, but the problem is way beyond metering. You see, most Nigerians are too poor to afford stable electricity. That's a fact because energy is not cheap.

Back to metering, even if you meter people, they'll still by metres to enjoy something they cannot afford. Most homes that cannot fuel their generators cannot pay for stable electricity. The moment you metre them, they will by appliances that heavily consume power and connect those that lightly consume electricity.

Part of Nigeria's problem today is that the Discos don't generate enough money to buy power from Gencos due to power theft and losses, leaving a huge deficit that only the government can fill.

That's why I said, we need to unbundle the national grid. States have to step in and start looking for sources of power generation in their localities. If possible, every LGA should have companies that generate, transmit and distribute power. That way, we can reduce losses and theft because these companies that supply power can easily identify s who steal their energy.

What are you really saying?
The generation and distribution arm of the power sector has been privatized already. The third arm of the power sector is the transmission which is still under the supervision of the Government and it the transmission arm that is the cause of this inefficiency and constant power failure.
There has been situations where the grid cannot evacuate all the power that was generated in a particular timeframe.
What people like Wike brings to the table is holding people responsible for the job they have agreed to do,that's the bane of our government offices and parastasals.
If the Government can revamp the transmission arm of the power equation, the distribution and generation arm would witness an improved efficiency..

Svoboda:


I hear you. You want to compare fct, where there's seamlessness in istration succession to power ministry that is controlled by people tinubu is even wary of. Those power sector oligarchs will just dust off one leather backed swivel chair and offer wike to sit on. There's where gra GRA will get to and bow to a stone wall. Na today?

Please which part of mabushi is this! I would like to know. I have not seen this edifice along the major road axis

OBJ is not a saint but even while He was the President. He believed and operated a policy of plea bargain if you can repatriate and invest the funds in Nigeria.
After he left,the policy was not sustained.What we are witnessing with EFCC prosecution these days is not something desirable.
And the investment climate in the country at the moment doesn't inspire confidence. I think it is where the minister of finance l,CBN Governor and the minister of National planning need to do a quick work. Time is going...

The tribe that has not been missing what has they achieved differently in of development as compared to other countries?
You people are very pathetic and myopic. You are not concerned how your country is faring in the comity of nations vis a vis developmental index but on how a tribe is missing in the mismanagement of the country

helinues:
The reason is simple. Because they don't play their politics right

Take 2023 election for example, while other regions shared their votes with different candidates, The south East people casted 80% of their votes in one basket. For that reason, Orji Kalu missed out as the Senate president

https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/7667020/why-south-east-may-not/1

2027 election is approaching yet the Igbo's are still using same tactics of not playing right but would be expecting miracle for whoever they in 2027.

Hahaha things don't work that way. They way you lay your bed so you shall sleep on it. You can't plant guava and be expecting t harvest Apple

He has an oil field, though not optimally producing at the moment but he still needs stocks to meet up with the installed capacity. I think he relaxed because NNPC has shares in the refinery and that was supposed to guarantee him crude supply... lquote author=MarketDispatch post=132967287]

This is one aspect of Dangote's business where I think he wasn't smart and calculative.

For Cement, he acquired and owns his feed stock.
For refinery, he should have acquired and owned his oil well to produce and supply his refinery. That way, he would have been self sufficient and not being made to become a content creator as seen in previous clips.[/quote]

NNPCL at the last count has some shares at Dangote Refinery. That's some bargaining chips...

jaxxy:
Dangote doesn't deserve the masses at this point since he doesn't have the balls to leave NNPCL's skirts and act like a true business man.

Nobody should dictate ur price to or for u, whether u chose to sell N2000 or N200 per litre.

JASONjnr:
Another story from a man who was one time a vice president and grazed the position for 8yrs and spent most of his retirement moments fighting his boss and then seeking to become a president by all means.


He had the opportunity to make this country and it's problems a better place for it's citizens.

Una no dey tire for this remarketing...
The goal is to make Nigeria better and for every citizen to experience life easier...The fundamentals has to be right, unfortunately the current istration is not ticking the right button,at least thats what the majority is experiencing
I am not holding brief for anybody but sometimes this kind of comments seems to distract from the main stuff.
If you have a better way to reach the operators of this economy, please do instead of casting aspersion to those who tries to do...

wirinet:


This is pure scam! This issue needs to be litigated all the way to the supreme court. Why ask people to pay for an item and yet claim the item does not belong to you? Is the money paid then a donation?

Lol. It was the reason one man attacked NEPA officials. They cut off his light from the pole,he didn't say anything but when they rolled up the wires and wanted to cut it and take it along with them,he warned them to leave his wires for him.
They refused...the outcome was inflicting damages on the NEPA vehicle they came with.
I don't know they finally resolved the issue.

Tinubu may surprise everybody tomorrow by tilting to the demands and expectations of many by announcing a crash price of petroleum products....

FACTS and FIGURES:


1. The landing price of PMS was always higher than the N600 selling price in Nigeria. Some say the landing price for NNPC was more than N1,000 when they were the sole importer.

2. This meant due to the removal of official subsidy, NNPC had been absorbing the shortfall. That practice had resulted in huge financial losses for NNPC and a situation where It could no longer “subsidize” PMS in the country having racked up $6b in debts.

3. DRL had been ref8ning diesel and supplying diesel to the local market at the free market unsubsidized rate of N900/ liter. It therefore doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that any PMS from Dangote at the same parameters (imported crude) would be +/-5% the price of their diesel.

4: NNPC has no intention of absorbing fuel subsidies anymore so the PR battle begins

PR battle

1: the Nigerian public are largely ignorant, there are those who feel NNPC are crooks, they are those who believe Dangote is an exploitative monopolist. If you are able to successfully blame one of them for the inevitable increase there is no shortage of unthinking brain dead Nigerians who will buy into your narrative.

2: there are those who believe that Somehow Dangote refinery coming on steam will REDUCE the price of PMS.

3: the informed know that PMS prices have to go up, the battle now is a battle for who will take the blame in the eyes of the public.

4: NNPC published the price of PMS from Dangote in order to make the gullible public think that it is Dangote responsible for high petrol [b][/b]prices. It isn’t, the reason the prices have gone up is because NNPC are no longer absorbing subsidies. If anything Dangote’s price is lower than the landing price Of PMS imported by NNPC because there are no shipping costs etc.

5: Dangote responds by saying NNPC is being “mischievous” but interestingly do not publish any contrary figures because while DRL PMS is actually cheaper than previous Imported NNPC PMS, the figures NNPC published are correct. The real issue is that politically Dangote cannot afford to say PMS is high is because subsidy has been removed. They don’t want to be the one to say it.

NNPC simply used the opportunity of the coming on stream of DRL to finally end any back door subsidy and the fallout on to Dangote by publishing the figures.

It is a PR battle based on gullible citizens who do not understand the mechanics of PMS pricing.

IMHO neither have done anything wrong. NNPC cannot afford and therefore is no longer subsidizing PMS and DRL is simply selling at market price. NNPC played a good hand by publishing the price and boxing them into a corner to which DRL can’t really respond.


This is not about the facts and figures, it is about who will take the blame in the eyes of the public of the increase In PmS that has come to stay. It is a PR exercise! It is about eeediots like geometrix arguing and disturbing me “It is Dangote’s faul”, “it is NNpc’s fault” but in reality when it comes to the bottom line it is a win-win for both the NNPC and DRL as both of them are happy with the pricing and the govt is happy subsidy is now truly gone!

It is about having simpletons and eeediots like Geometrix distracted and arguing over whose fault it is while quietly subsidy is removed totally.

Read your paragraph 5 very well and cure yourself the deficiency of assimilation.
My argument and first instance of engaging you was not of who is right or wrong between NNPC and Dangote but on the opaqueness of public ability as it relates to the landing cost being brandied by NNPC.
Like you posited it may be more than 600 while some say it is 1000.
My argument was that Dangote can sell cheaper than the landing cost NNPC is telling us but you went wayhire with your unnecessary rant and supposedly half baked knowledge..but I know really blame i know your kind
Secondly in your last paragraph,you said subsidy is gone finally..Did you confer with the President on this?
Because he was the one that previously announced that subsidy is gone but NNPC was still paying for it through the backdoor.

casualobserver:


You are clearly a M0ron. You like many of your ilk clearly speak English but lack English comprehension.

You woke me up with a post trying to rubbish my estimate of Dangote’s pms price. As it happens NNPC released a breakdown of the price of DRL PMS confirming my estimate.

Instead of you to crawl into your corner, you start talking nonsense.

When someone sees the price template released by NNPC and is then still asking “is it from DR?”, one has confirmation of one’s prior conclusions that one is dealing with a typical product of the failed education system in the country.
[b][/b]
There is nothing in the Dangote statement that refutes the prices released by NNPC. You clearly have a problem with English. Obviously your father is your mother’s brother, genetic disorders and brain defects are a consequence of such procreative abominations of nature.

Consider this my last response to you as sadly Nairaland does not have an ignore button.


For the record, many of you are confused because of the pandemic of English speakers who lack English comprehension in the country. You read but do not understand. The price released by NNPC is the price for PMS refined from imported Dangote crude. The price for Naira to Naira crude to PMS swap has not been released because the supply of that crude to DRL has not started. Dangote’s statement was deliberately ambiguous. NNPC stated the price categorically in an OFFICIAL statement, Dangote did not…why?

Having poor English comprehension is one thing, having a low IQ is another. Put the two together and we get the buffooonery that is you and your ilk. You are the one who failed to understand the Dangote statement. All they had to do instead of hiding behind carefully crafted words was to release the figures if it was different from what NNPC stated. On this occasion Dangote was being mischievous because they know their audience are dumb….people like you. “Misleading” is not the same thing as “false”. Dangote can claim they aren’t selling to NNPC at N898 because they aren’t selling to them in Naira. DRL is merely playing on your intelligence. Why didn’t DRL say the $0.55/liter is misleading? All NNPC did was convert 0.55c to Naira. Idiots like you are too dumb to understand.

And by the way it is not “sticked” to it, it is “stuck” to it. We have to teach them English as we communicate with them!
This conversation which you chose to disturb me with this morning has nothing to do with 2%. It is simply a question of my estimate of price of imported Dangote PMS based on their selling price of N900 for diesel. The statement validated my est8mate and your post this morning was an attempt to rubbish it which you failed.

Goood bye.

It's obvious you are as an idiot clearly. So Dangote rebuttal is misleading and ambiguous. Continue with your self propelled deceit and be claiming intelligent..

Acidosis:


Are you saying the church should lie?

Everyone seems to have issues when churches offer certain paid services? Why is that? We need to change our mentality.

I read your submission to dogedfighter. I don't have a problem with the church offering paid services at all but I need to ask you a very personal question. What's the benefit of one being sold out for church like this pastor in question and even in death,the church cannot sacrifice a million naira to bury him in a location that could be his dying wish.
And generally what and what are the right reasons/expectations as people go to church?

casualobserver:


Dangote PMS has been confirmed @ N898 based on imported crude!

Is this not confirmation your education was a waste of time and resources? I had no access to NNPC or DRL info and yet I was able to give an accurate estimate. If you use your brain, these things are not rocket science. The problem is most of you have no brains and the rest refuse to use it.

Do you not feel like an eeediot now? When people more intelligent than you are talking, shut up and learn!

I told you stop disturbing me with unintelligent comments

M0r0n!,,

You are actually the slowpoke and a nitwit for not deciphering the context of argument on a public space.
You googled 2% margin for every refinery including Dangote refinery and sticked to it as if you their financial consultant .
I ask you what if Dangote decides to sell at cost price to make sure he secures the Nigerian crude...you keep blabbing that the margin is sacrosanct.
I saw how the other guy avoided you with your half baked education your are flaunting. Ode!
The 898 NNPC quoted, was it from Dangote Refinery?
Haven't you read the rebuttal from Dangote that they sold a way cheaper price to NNPC?

Acidosis:
RCCG has over 200,000 pastors. No organisation in the world (not even the Nigerian government) can offer free burial grounds for 200,000 people. This is just the number of pastors o. Now add pastors' wives, their children, deacons/deaconness,elders, etc. If every RCCG member decides to request a space for their loved ones, the entire RCCG camp won't be enough.

I understand this your position, but why not tell the family that there is no space available at the moment than to request for money from them.
And he was a pastor in the fold...

casualobserver:


I don’t like being constantly disturbed by people who add no value to this topic and do not want to learn. I have said all I need to say, Leave me in peace.

If you see petrol at a price you like buy, if you don’t like the price you see don’t buy. Nobody is forcing you.

Mr I too know, you are witnessing the drama about the pricing between NNPC and Dangote. You were so confident in your ignorance that the price of Dangote petrol must be 850-900.
We do not know the actual price now but from the press release from Dangote,what they sold to NNPC is way cheaper than NNPC import and the crude used was the one they imported.
Business processes and pricing are not cast in stone no matter the margins and the path to profitability differs..

ALTERNATEID:


That’s a big lie. There is no law that says he can’t sell to marketers directly. NNPC made it clear some weeks ago that he can sell to marketers directly if he wants.

The NNPC and by extension the Nigerian Government still retains the right to who sells petrol to Nigerians.
Forget about law, if Dangote do more than he is doing now ,the establishment might frustrate him.
And mind you he needs the Nigerian crude as a base even though he maybe supplanting it with import from other places..

casualobserver:


That is the global average margin for refineries all over the world. If you sought knowledge instead of making typical emotional comments you would have come across this piece of enlightenment.

Rest mister!
You quoting global average and specifically 2% for Dangote as if you work there. What if his is less than 2%?

casualobserver:


1: Why would Dangote refinery sell at cost price? Did you donate money to build his refinery?
2: his margin is 2%, he has interest payments on loans why should he sell at cost?
3: even at cost price, the price of petrol is not N600. The price of diesel is an indication of the market price of petrol. +/- 5%. If Dangote diesel ex refinery is N900 then petrol is between N850-950 ex refinery. Add logistics/transport costs + retailer margin and you have the real price of petrol.

If you don’t like, it you can find your own petrol. Dangote can source his crude abroad and sell his products abroad.

The solution to the problem of fuel price lies in the exchange rate. Nigerians should stop buying imported products so the dollar rate can go down. Only then will the price of petrol go down.

I can hear you financial advisor to Dangote refinery. You even know his margin is 2%...

casualobserver:


1: The price of petrol is set universally, everybody buys petrol at the same price.
2: What determines the price of petrol in a country is a) added taxes e.g uk b) subsidy e.g Libya and Nigeria c ) actual market price e.g Ghana, Benin, Cameroun. D) your exchange rate
3: The profit margin on refineries globally is less than 2%, they make money on volume.
Dangote is not a charity.

Are you saying the price of crude or petrol?
They are other condensate of crude that a refinery though not a charity can attain profitability even if it sells petrol at cost price

casualobserver:


Everybody is blaming Kyari but you are asking Kyari to sell petrol at less than landing costs. The problem to me is not Kyari, the problem is the landing cost of petrol either imported or via Dangote is more than the price acceptable to the public. The government has removed subsidy. So who is paying the difference? If NNPC is paying the difference then they will go broke as is now the case.

The problem is not Kyari but political interference in NNPC.

Hello sir can you honestly defend the price being quoted as landing cost by NNPC? Leave matter, there is no public ability in Nigeria?
I can bet Dangote can sell way below the landing price they are quoting if they would liberalize the market

[quote author=sslcrypt post=131972146]

Beger can't be a choice, a debtor is subject to a creditor. They didn't force the loan down our throats, it was the federal government that took out a loan on the back of zero economic activities. The country isn't generating revenue but yet chose to proceeding. Tinibu now trying to widen the tax bracket will lead to further death of the country because majority of the populace are living below poverty line. The wealthy that should be taxed more are none existent. The stubbornness of tinibu is all by design, because look at inflation to me is a form of indirect compulsory tax. It's a total mess because the ministry of finance have no fiscal policy, the CBN have no monetary policy. So no coordination at all, it feels the nation is on autopilot. [/quote
I wanted to get angry with your first paragraph of defenses. Lol
But your last paragraph and submissions calmed my nerves and am smiling now.There is no fiscal and monetary policy... my Gee

sslcrypt:


You can't eat your cake and have it at same time. That loan contract buhari took against petroleum products is coming back to bite us. The government propaganda have totally shut out this angle to the public. The cash meant to purchase from dangote must be channeled into part of the loan deals called futures contract. Meaning we must import processed crude from the entities tied to those contracts. This the only way those countries and their businesses can redeem their loan and interest on it. The middle men facilitating this part of the deal are stationed in Dubai, so they buy at low value, refine and sell it back to us for profit. While some percentage of the finished products goes to nations like Malaysia, Indonesia, China, india and couple of others.

So you mean a sovereign nation cannot renegotiate the of the loan versus future contract?
Even as their economy is collapsing because of skyrocketing energy prices which they have under their ground?

AntiMarxist:


Because the state has the powers to arrest , detain and interrogate any one engaged in treasonable felony and terrorism.


He should have cleared his name if innocent instead of trying to sneak out of the country to avoid the invitation.

This is bad optics and when the DSS takes him to court seeking a remand order to conclude their investigation , no judge will object this after he refused to honour their invitation and was caught sneaking out of the country to the same destination nation the prime suspect a Briton is from.


By the way NLC President does not enjoy immunity .

Because he goes about the title doesn't confer on him similar immunity as the executive.

I heard he has been released on bail, someone that was engaged in terrorism and treasonable felony according to you.
Do you mind to share more light. Does it mean that the intelligence/evidence against him was not water tight, maybe na speculation things ?
Or maybe he was traveling to go and destroy the evidence against him?

AntiMarxist:
These Marxists think the title President of NLC confers immunity from criminal investigation and arrest.

You are not really wise... Why can't they detain him on arrival after his engagement without muddling the narratives with the international community? Or is he running away?

Please o! Someone should clear me on this! How much is Nigeria daily crude oil output? I thought they said it's in the region of 1.3 millions barrel per day. Does it mean that we are no longer using a part of the oil to pay for debts that NNPCL can supply up to 30million barrels to Dangote?

OMBIIGA:

What a systemic alignment of price of PMS with the roll out of PMS from Dangote refinery.
There is God oh !

What Nigeria needs now is stability of the prices both petroleum products and forex. Even if is higher than we anticipated...so that businesses and individuals can plan and project,FDI's can come in
2. Stimulation of economic activities..
If they can achieve this in the short term, everything would be fine
