Education / Re: Nobody Can Graduate From University @ 19, It Is A Lie by chinchum(m): 10:52am On Jul 25
IamANigerianMan:
Primary school 6 years , secondary school 6 years, Jamb 1 year, university 4 years, total 17 years .. So she started primary school @ 1 Years and some months?.... Don't be deceived it is always like that in private school... Convenant university graduated over 200 first class... Nothing special about it.
Kids in urban centres mostly from middle class homes only spend 5 yrs in primary school; not every one spend up to a year to write jamb, also they may start University within 6 months after secondary school session ends and they are in University.

I finished secondary school barely 15 yrs many many years ago, as I recalled I only turned 15 during my ssce exams . So it is quite feasible, as it is getting more common nowadays to have 14, 15 yrs old finishing Secondary school now

If you save ₦20 everyday, it will be

₦20 × 7 = ₦140 per week

₦140 × 30 = ₦4,200 per month.

₦4,200 × 365= ₦1,533,000 per year.

I care about you. Be wise and start saving now, 20 naira means a lot. Don’t sleep on it.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Ruto Orders Withdrawal Of Salary Increment For Ministers, Lawmakers Amid Uproar by chinchum(m): 3:49pm On Jul 04
Max24:

Because they have used all the money they had in the past to pay their politicians. Same thing is happening in Nigeria. How can senators be earning salary and allowance totalling #30m + per month. How can less than 500 people budget over #344B for themselves in 2024 when many states can't pay minimum wage of #30k? They are buying Suv cars worth hundreds of millions when millions of Nigerians are on less than #30000 per month.
Don't deceive yourself. Let me humour your logic, If NA allocation is 0, and the two assemblies completely scrapped. The 344 billion naira is then shared across 36 states, many states can't still pay minimum wage. It translates to less than 10 billion naira per state in a year.

The issues are deeper than trivialising it on salaries of legislators, it is a little bit part of the issue though. Nigeria has an annual budget of over 20 trillion naira.

add all numbers and divide by the 2 or in the alternative divide by the last number.

Division by 2 is more plausible.

Politics / Re: We Are Ready To Sacrifice Allowances For Workers To Get ₦150k - Senator Wadada by chinchum(m): 11:17am On Jun 21
Make him a governor and he won't pay more than naira 30,000 as minimum wage.

Talk is cheap. Politicians that can speak to the gallery anytime with little conscience.

And 150,000 will be worth 20,000 in a short time with the attendant inflation. How many unproductive states can pay 150,000 naira monthly minimum wage ? including his Nasarawa state.

People with shallow arithmetic skills and poor vision say all sort of ridiculous things for political expediency. States need to raise IGR geometrically with human face.

It is the value of the money; stupid !

Less than 500 national assembly people vs over 750,000 federal govt workers.

If all national assembly members receive 0 pay, and their monthly salary diverted, how many people will be paid using 150,000 minimum wage. Most workers are not on minimum wage scale.

Now I know you are just being sentimental.

Really!? This is the worst game you've seen from the Eagles?

What would you call the shit show we endured at the AFCON. sub 40% possessions and lucky lone goalers or penalty goals.

Please.....please....
I did not know there is points for possession

Fuckkkkkking get the points. It is of no use to have 80 percent possession and draw or lose in a qualifier. All that matters is points.
You called winning 5 consecutive games at the nations cup luck? It is freakkking world Cup qualifier not a friendly.

Naija....

Nigerians can never be pleased.

Peseiro came ..... they complained that the game was too dull.

Finidi is here with exciting football...we are complaining he is losing.

I'm hurt that we lost to a team like Benin.

But I do not think these boys played badly. The hero of this game was Gernot Rohr. He knew exactly where to hit Nigeria. The moment that second goal came, I knew it was definitely over.

To be fair and honest, this wasn't a terrible game. The defence was a far cry from what we saw at AFCON. But then again, you Nigerians scuffed at it.
it is a terrible game , enough of this nonsense about feel good football.

Losing to Benin on a neutral ground is a terrible game. It is a fuccccccking world Cup qualifier , it holds once in 4 years. You need points not eye candy football.

Peseiro. Grant and the other local and foreign coaches were all trash.. How we luckily got Rohr and was stupid to sack him always baffles me
. Nigeria did not employ Grant. Peseiro took us to the final of the Nations Cup against a strong footbaling nation host country. He figured out that all the hype of playing offensively was not blending those boys to play as a team after the first game of the tourney and he crafted an ultra defensive formation that was potent still that saw us to the final of the tourney. Super Eagles started playing as a team when we got quite defensive.

We could even have won that tourney with a bit of luck, Injuries plagued with fatigue and playing a really determined and resurging host country was our albatross.

In the middle of a world Cup qualifier , we ought to be cautious and not create more disorderliness that a new coach will bring.

When I heard Finidi criticising the tactics used at the nations cup and philosophizing about a phantom attacking football I simply chuckled and was awaiting his sure failure. We are now surely down and need not fear any fall. We are placed 5th in a group of 6 teams and have played one extra game. he should be sacked with immediate effect.

We struggle to know when to let go a coach. Rohr was let go after qualifying us as 1st from a group stage. A very stupiddd decision with hindsight but seen by those with foresight. The Ghana we couldn't bear in 2 legs would have lost at least a match under Rohr, it may even be the away game. During that world Cup qualifier , Nigeria had the best away result since Nigeria had been playing world Cup qualifiers since the 1970s.

A coach that took you to a 2nd place in a nations cup, the best we have had in 11 years is not a push over. Sometimes as coaches they accidentally figure out better formation , something that happened at the nations cup.

There was no point letting Peseiro go. We won't be at the 2026 world Cup.
I called it that we won't be at the 2022 world Cup after letting Rohr go.

I had serious issues with Peseiro prior to the African Nations Cup, but had a change of mind when he figured a better way to play our boys that saw us reach the final 11 years after. Many Nigerians fail to see that their " world class" talent continually struggle to play as a team offensively. We got really difficult to concede goals at the Nations Cup and very minimal tweaking in the midfield with choice of suited player would have improve the formation.

We played as Spartan from game 2 of the African nation's cup and lost predominantly at the final due to injury and fatigue of players. We need results not fanciful passes and legwork. We were hard to breakdown at the Nations Cup.

AlexBells:

You are not in position to decide that but I can guarantee nobody in your generation yet comes close to Zik in smartness. Same secession later plunged the country to 3 years of civil war and you think Zik wasn’t smart in avoiding that in the first place.
could it be that you don't have the intelligence to correctly analyse the circumstances surrounding the wish of Awolowo or you are deliberately twisting facts?

Awolowo was not asking for succession, but that a succession clause be added to the constitution. What that would have guaranteed is providing a legal framework for any part of the country to make a case if they strongly want to leave Nigeria. In other words, it could have been enshrined in the constitution how succession can be actualized, possibly through a referendum of the people.
It is treason for anyone to simply declare succession, which is what Ojukwu did.
Awolowo was the greatest visionary Nigeria ever had.

This is quite significant and long awaited.

This 100% production is almost enough to feed Dangote refinery 75% of its daily requirement. Nigeria produces about 1.4 to 1.5 million barrels per day currently. Adding 480,000 barrels per day enhances our revenue in no small way

I have a feeling he said to himself they won multiple times and started believing the delusiont. You lost with close to 3 million votes. There are at least 50 countries populated with less than 3 million people.

The average Nigerian likes to oppress and suppress others; so when a typical Nigerian join the force, (s)he feels more empowered to satisfy a craving.

Politics / Re: Labour Slashes Proposed New Minimum Wage To N500,000 by chinchum(m): 10:26pm On May 22
oluwaseyi0:
So in this people mind, the average private nursery school in Benue or Osun can afford to pay each of their teachers 500,000, and that one-man struggling business can afford to pay their cleaner 500,000k per month or you think minimum wage begins and ends at the public office, in fact, currently some states ain't even generating enough to pay the 30k minimum wage,

if level one step one is 500k, how much will fresh graduates which usually start at level 8 receive, 3.5million monthly I guess, then a level 13/14 senior public servant will receive 13m monthly or do you intend to pay level one step one 500k but intend to pay level fourteen 600k?

apt analysis. NLC should provide total wage bill for all federal govt employees at least to show that they are not clownish.

This will add close to 500,000 barrels per day if it works and start. Nigeria currently produces barely 1.5 million barrels per day.

The significance of this deal succeeding is quite underrated. Nigeria's economy will immediately feel the impact once 100% production resumes.

I laugh when some people argue that this current set of "Jambites" are less intelligent due to tiktok, and other social media sites. It is a big fallacy and a danger of comparing a single statistics.

I remember in the late 90s and turn of the new millenium, highest jamb score used to be 280s.
