successmatters:
Reno, we are never going to give you any government appointment.

You remain ignored.

Reno is definitely being paid on the side to appear like an unbiased person.


If not how can a sane person claim that the naira stride should be studied in Ivory towers?

Basic law of demand and supply.

Fg stops form A, stops selling and sends everyone to the black market with no restrictions.

Naturally, value of naira depreciated.

FG gets loans, and starts selling to BDC and fixes the markup. Does that look like free market?

We have yet to even get to the initial value.

I'm all for givign credit when due but this is equivalent to you hiring a driver. Driver gets into an accident on the first day and dents your car.

He then takes the car to a panel beater who just fixed part of the dent and has not even resprayed the car.

Driver then comes and says he deserves the best employee award.

This LOSER should STFU.

Good and bad governance affects everyone including you.

If at the end of the day Tinubu does well to shut up the opposition, it still benefits everyone.

There is nothing wrong in eliminating corruption or reducing waste for the benefit of the nation.

Don't let your dislike for someone make you wish harm on yourself.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Learn to see beyond hatred.

Celebrities / Re: "Jnr Pope Was Provided Life Jacket But Rejected It Because It Was Dirty" - Luke by alt3r3g0: 4:09pm On Apr 14
This where training comes in.

Those days working offshore, in addition to life jackets being mandatory, you are also trained about the "survival circle" in the survival at sea training.

This is where all the survivors hold themselves together and the people without life jackets climb in the circle.

This way, rescue is easier as they easier to spot from a helicopter, are all together and those without life jackets have a higher chance of survival.

It's a pity.

So you belive Gandollar and Akpabio would have binance account when they can easily have dollars delivered to them?

Trust me, if politicians are involved, the service would still be running. After all, they changed the law concerning age of marriage to protect Senator Yerima.

Properties / Re: Urgent! Should I Allow My Tenant Bury Her 1 Year Old Daughter In My Compound? by alt3r3g0: 1:13am On Feb 21
DSS1335:
A very good young woman whom her husband abandoned last year lost her 1 year old child this morning. They jovial baby was very healthy on Sunday, by Monday morning, the baby was suffering from diarrhea and vomiting. According to the mum, she was prescribed pediatric antibiotic Amoxicillin along with antimalarial (Lonart susp), paracetamol syrup and Rophegan. I was alarmed on why she gave her child Rophegan 5ml, normally this antiemetic drug is not recommended for children under 2 years of age. Unfortunately this early morning the child was gasping for breath while crying loudly and died few hours later.

The issue now is that she is from far away east. She doesn't want to travel home. I have a very large space in my compound, and want to bury the child there. I consulted my kins, they objected it that I should never allow such to happen that it's against our tradition. That a child should be buried in his father's home or public cemetery. This tenant have already made up her mind to Park out few months after her rent expires due to the scandals of separating from her husband. Should I go ahead and allow her or alternatively raise funds for her to travel to the east to bury the child there. Though she isn't forthcoming with my alternative.

N/B
I am of Rivers state, Ikwerre to be precise, the lady from Umuahia

Update:
The mother of the lady came late in the afternoon from Abia state and pleaded I should allow them bury the baby in my compound. After considering some notable advice from here coupled with the warning from my kinsmen, I declined. The lady's mother contacted their branch pastor and they made arrangements to bury her in a place provided by their church. Later this evening the woman came back insulting my family that we are very wicked for not allowing their baby to be buried in my compound.
If not for the sympathy I had for the mother mourning her loss, I would have lost my cool.
This was the same woman responsible for the breakdown of her daughter's marriage. After marriage, she came to live with the new couple who parked into my apartment newly. Instigating her daughter against her husband. Using her daughter as a proxy to siphon off her husband's wealth, a Dubai-based businessman. Controlling the man forcefully, preventing him from socializing with others because of her insecurity complexes. The last straw that broke the marriage was when the lady and her mother teamed up to lock the husband indoors for 4 days and transferred all his money to the wife's account. That whenever he needs his own money, he should tell the wife. In short, the marriage broke down irreconcilably and the husband relocated to another state and never came back, he was neither interested in the child that was born 3 months after nor care to inquire about their wellbeing

The bolded and the update no correlate at all.

That's why there are two sides to every story

When the person in charge had boasted of being the one who installed the person responsible for the damage, and in the midst of this carnage still approves 1 billion for 37 person commitee, assigns 5 billion for student loan and 24billion for religious tourism, let me not mention the private foreign trips, etc , where do you draw positivism from?

Politics / Re: FG Seals Off Sahad Store, Abuja As Crackdown On Hoarding, Price Fixing Begins by alt3r3g0: 3:24pm On Feb 17
DeOTR:

See the mentality of an average Nigerian and you wonder why we have bad leaders?
So if selling a bag of rice yesterday at 30k is profitable and people prices in the market has changed, why not wait till you restock and put the right price tag on the goods instead of changing the price while the tag on the shelf is lower?
Must you sell it for 70k up from 30k even though doing that amount to selling more than 100% of the cost?

If you read my post well, you will see that the question you asked, was the same thing I asked the guy and the reply he gave. I even added another example using price of fuel.


To answer your question plainly, waiting to buy at the new price means you get less inventory as all your profit from the old stock has been eroded. Person may even go out of business.

Using your bag of rice example, assuming the inventory is 10 bags, he buys at 28k, sells at 30 and makes profit of 2k per bag.

Thats 20k profit for all 10. Inventory cost is 280k.

If price of rice is now 70k for one, and he waits to buy at that rate, he can only restock 4 bags (no longer 10) from the 280k..and the process goes until he is out of business.

Britishpea:



The management of the supermarket was accused of shortchanging customers by charging prices other than the price tag at the shelves.


You shouldn’t be writing that long jargons without reading this

To be fair, the rate at which prices are changing daily, its hard to keep up with updating tags for every single product on the shelf.

When something similar happend some years back, I asked the seller if he already had profit at the old price. Why add price increase for something that was bought at old rate?

He then explained to me that where will the additional fund come for him to restock?

Similar to when Tinubu said subsidy is gone speech and prices jumped up before he dropped mic.

A tanker of 33000 litres at 3.3m to restock @ 100naira/litre, turned to close to 20m to restock. Anyone who does not have that is out of business.

SmartyPants:
What I will take from this is that the Nigerian electorate is dreadfully uneducated. No one who heard Tinubu's policies could have ever believed that we were going to be in for a rosy time. He clearly promised to reduce purchasing power and other harsh measures. Did no one tell her?

I never supported Tinubu before the elections, but I currently support some of his policies because I believe they are necessary for a better Nigeria but I also know and I'm prepared to endure some suffering in the interim.

The main issue here is there is a disconnect with the politicians.

The expectation is for the common man to make sacrifices, while they continue to lavish, plunder and steal the scarce and borrowed resources.

They all bought foreign vehicles, corruption continues to fester as Gandollar is APC chairman, no surprise that a young Betta Edu had followed suit.

What example is the president setting by going on a private trip in the midst of all this calamity and uploading pictures of himself daily watching TV from Paris?

Sacrifices must be made but it must come from everyone. Corruption also needs to be dealt with if not, no gains can be made from whatever good policy is implemented.
