…Exposes Illogicalities In President’s Fuel Price Comparisons.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) describes the economic assertions in President Muhammadu Buhari’s independence anniversary speech as a huge slap on the sensibilities of Nigerians.
The party charges President Buhari to wake up to reality and take demonstrable urgent steps that will address the divisive tendencies and poor economic policies of his administration, which are fast decimating our dear nation under his watch.
The PDP says President Buhari’s attempt to justify the increase of fuel price in Nigeria by comparing it to the N168 per liter cost in Saudi Arabia is a morbid joke, noting that the minimum wage in Saudi Arabia is N305,113 (3000 Saudi Riyals), ten times higher than our paltry N30,000 which is largely unimplemented in Nigeria.
Is Mr. President not aware that, on the average, a person working in Saudi Arabia earns around 4,230SAR (N430, 267) to 16,700 SAR (N1,698,693) per month?
Our party charges Mr. President to always check his books before making such offensive comparisons including the price in Egypt where monthly average earning is around N222, 841 (9,200 EGP) against our N30,000.
In comparing our costs with other countries such as Ghana, Chad and Niger where purchasing powers of citizens are much more higher, did Mr. President reflect on the cost of house rent, education, healthcare and average dependence on fuel for daily survival by ordinary citizens as obtainable in Nigeria?
If the flawed assertions as evident in Mr. President’s speech are a direct reflection of how policies are formulated in his administration, then one needs not wonder why our economy is in doldrums.
Indeed, it is imperative to state that if the Buhari administration had summoned the competence and honesty to continue the programs already laid by previous administrations under our party to revive our refineries and provide infrastructural backbone for our productive sector, fuel price will not be more than N100 per liter, in addition to the gains from by-product from crude oil.
The PDP therefore urges Mr. President to engender harmony and productivity by allowing for more robust discourse that will lead to affordable prices for fuel and other essential commodities in our country.
Our party also holds as ludicrous that President Buhari is hyping his ‘better together’ theme when the administration he heads, runs on nepotism, disregard for rule of law, human right abuses, corruption, political intolerance, suppression of free speech and aggression towards dissenting voices.
We urge Mr. President to end his rhetoric and take practical steps to entrench the culture of rule of law and strengthen harmonious living through inclusiveness, equity in wealth distribution and equal access to opportunities for all Nigerians irrespective of creed, class, and ethnicity.
Furthermore, credible elections are essential to harmonious living. Our party therefore restates our commendation to Mr. President for his new found commitment to non-interference in elections leading to conduct of free, fair and credible governorship election in Edo State on September 19.
We urge President Buhari to toe the line of the Edo election in the October 10 Ondo governorship election so as to consolidate the legacy of free and fair election under his watch.
Additionally, Mr. President should exert himself on rebuilding our economy by ending his borrowing spree and focusing on our productive capacity instead of his endless lamentation over his failures.
Moreover, security is pivotal to our economic revival. The unceasing acts of insurgency, banditry and kidnapping in the last five years have wrecked our nation’s productivity and threatened her corporate existence.
It is therefore worrisome that Mr. President’s speech did not address the call on him by Nigerians demanding that he rejigs his security architecture to inject new blood that will effectively confront our security challenges.
Our party restates our belief in the potentials of our nation and urges Mr. President to seek help by engaging more competent hands to assist in handling the affairs of our nation.

Understanding COSC Certification and Its Importance in Watchmaking
COSC Validation and its Strict Criteria
COSC, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the official Switzerland testing agency that certifies the accuracy and precision of wristwatches. COSC validation is a mark of excellent craftsmanship and dependability in timekeeping. Not all timepiece brands follow COSC accreditation, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its proprietary demanding criteria with movements like the UNICO, reaching similar precision.
The Science of Exact Timekeeping
The central mechanism of a mechanized timepiece involves the mainspring, which provides energy as it loosens. This system, however, can be prone to environmental factors that may impact its accuracy. COSC-validated mechanisms undergo strict testing—over 15 days in various circumstances (five positions, three temperatures)—to ensure their durability and reliability. The tests evaluate:
Typical daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 secs.
Mean variation, highest variation levels, and effects of thermal changes.
Why COSC Certification Matters
For timepiece aficionados and collectors, a COSC-accredited timepiece isn’t just a piece of technology but a testament to lasting quality and accuracy. It symbolizes a timepiece that:
Provides excellent dependability and precision.
Provides assurance of quality across the whole construction of the watch.
Is apt to hold its value more effectively, making it a wise choice.
Popular Timepiece Manufacturers
Several well-known manufacturers prioritize COSC accreditation for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, offers collections like the Archive and Spirit, which showcase COSC-accredited movements equipped with innovative materials like silicon equilibrium springs to boost durability and performance.
Historic Context and the Evolution of Timepieces
The notion of the chronometer originates back to the requirement for accurate timekeeping for navigation at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the 18th century. Since the formal foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the accreditation has become a yardstick for assessing the accuracy of luxury timepieces, continuing a legacy of excellence in watchmaking.
Conclusion
Owning a COSC-accredited timepiece is more than an visual selection; it’s a commitment to quality and precision. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC validation provides peacefulness of mind, ensuring that each certified timepiece will operate reliably under various conditions. Whether for individual contentment or as an investment, COSC-accredited watches stand out in the world of horology, carrying on a tradition of careful chronometry.
