This look like clearing for planting than rice harvesting. The way we harvested rice when i was young was to cut the rice at the top of the stem and then used leg to press down the rice stem to move work. This one they are doing seems to require more energy than it takes. How can you harvest acres of rice farm like this? This is just some guys playing around in a rice farm

Does anyone on Nairaland have a problem releasing his or her results? cause i just dont understand o. your enimies have been attacking you ober your result i would thinl you would keep them shut by realeasing it rather than arming them with even more evidence

How many politicians have you ever seen that willingly release their college record. Even in the US, they refuse to release their record as their college record

B.A.T is the number 1 public official of Nigeria as a sitting president. So he automatically falls under one of the 12 statutory exemptions of the 1974 privacy act of 1974.

https://www.justice.gov/opcl/privacy-act-1974#:~:text=The%20Privacy%20Act%20prohibits%20the,one%20of%20twelve%20statutory%20exceptions.

Look B.A.T will be exposed very soon, he can't keep this up for long.

I don't think he has more profile than American presidents. If they did not release the college record of American presidents, I don't think Nigeria president will be consider to be more important. It does not mean the court cannot side with Atiku but that is a long route that can go all the way to supreme court if Tinubu so decided.

My opinion is that Tinubu probably bought the paper he used to travel to the united states and then went to school in the united states. I think Atiku knows this lawsuit is not going to go anywhere but to embarrass the president. It is all politics.

Hey guys. Checking in at the Airport was very stressful. I had to repack my stuffs 3 times. The m.f kept sending me back to the queue after each repacking.
Anyways, I have checked in and waiting to board now

Will be coming for my own vacation this month and I am already dreading the nightmare of navigating Nigeria airport. My uncle that normally act as my protocol officer is here on vacation.

Let me school you on something bruh. A homeless person in America has access to Medicare, there are social programs to assist. There are food programs. There are rights and protections. You can walk into any hospital and get help.

In many cities, there is temporary housing for those who are willing to get off the streets. Unfortunately most homeless people are addicts that's why it's often difficult to recover them.

Can you say the same about Nigeria? Even a an average rich man in Nigeria can't call 911.

In America, the worst that can happen to you is to be homeless. In Nigeria you could literally die of starvation. Hospitals will reject you if you have no money.

America is the richest and probably the most advanced country in the world. It is wrong to be comparing Nigeria to America. Most developing countries are not better off than Nigeria. We are a highly populous country like India, even though India is richer than Nigeria we suffer similar faith of corrupt leaders, Ours is probably worse than most other nations.

ba7man:
Your N 25 million is just £25,000.

The UK will collect all that money from you if you don't settle down on time with a job.

Some risk it and get lucky, some don't, just keep grinding.

That is not risk, it is gamble. Why would you relocate with the whole family at once? The money they use to relocate all of them would have been enough for the wife graduate studies in Canada. after the wife has settle for about a year, the children could joined while the husband still keep his job in Niger. The husband can then joined toward the conclusion of her studies.

Treadway:
your rebuttal was way too simplistic and inchoate (I had worse adjectives earlier, but decided to show decorum and modified it appropriately). It actually makes me much better, cos unlike you and your friends I take responsibility for my life, decisions, actions and inactions. Moreso, the core premise of your futile rant and others like you sharing that lie and my response earlier is that you ALL implied your friends are begging you for money today simply because they didn't japa like you yesterday, and not based on the fact that life can turn at anytime for anyone anywhere!! See the obvious difference?? Well newsflash, it isn't cos of that, upon scrutiny it is majorly cos of deficit in common sense. Barring a major illness or morbidity that you have no control over that can wipe out anyone's finances, fix culpability where it is.

I left Nigeria at 29. I was working for one of the top federal parastatals and making good money. I worked many odd jobs for the first six years of my arrival before getting professional job. Even then, I never regret my decision leaving the country. Many of my former colleagues are calling me for help today.

Pele o helper general of the federal republic...and yea I do help others WHEN I FEEL LED TO even though I myself hate to bother anyone in my own moments, but thankfully I don't use their struggle in an argument online as to why an individual that opened a thread about staying or leaving a remote job on nairaland should hop on plane so he 'doesn't end up like your friends begging their abroad friends for money'..lol..

How so graciously selfless of you.👍👏

Ciao!

You are better than me and my friend . Good for you. Thank you very much. If you are looking for who to fight move on. I am not here to fight. I don't blame you for your interpretation of my post. It is the way you see life. Yes there are many people I know who had the opportunity to Japa, failed to use the opportunity and regretted it. That is a common knowledge in Nigeria. I was giving the young man that made the post an advise base on my life experience. if you interpreted that as mocking people that is your cup of tea.

Treadway:
you see that bolded line/lie, it is quite amazing how most of you japa geng on nairaland tend to use that line/lie, suggesting that y'all seem to be surrounded by people with low self esteem, or just so dim-witted that they can't manage their lives as adults. If all you guys have friends like that, na horrible bunch you dey roll with o. I brought in three cars at once sometime in 2021, and couldn't sell even one on time, so in no time I was pressed for funds, but even tho my account don red, I no get the mind to ask anyone for money, cos I am an adult with self-respect and dignity. I sold off a pair of brand new tires I had earlier bought and some other items in my store that I could let go off, as in I hauled them in my car and drove to the respective market areas where I could sell them and raised about 70k that day that kept me going till I sold one of the cars and got my millions back. Na una dey always seem to get friends wey na beggars and financial illiterates...or as you claim were doing fine but turned beggers cos they stayed in Nigeria and now una wey travel na im dey feed them.. ludicrous!

Like 15 of una don comment with this same line/lie of having hungry friends that were doing okay before but now begging you for crumbs. Def na kindergarteners be ya friends, def not adults with any common sense or wisdom bo ti wu ko kere mo! Jeez!

Your response shows that you are a kid that is yet to know life. Asking for help is not lack of dignity. If you are doing great as you claimed to be and not known to be stingy you would have had one or two people among your friends that have fall on hard times reaching out to you for help.
I was poor and many of my friends were poor. We came from very humble background. Some of them are directors and executives today and many are still struggling to makes ends meet. It does not means they don't have self respect, it is life. Lucky you for the challenge you have in life is a cashflow problem, it does not make you better than us. As you age you will understand that asking for help from one friend does not makes one to be a beggar. Yoruba said it is who you sleep in the same bed with that you will disturb when you roll on the bed.
here is an example of my "lie"

PortHarcourt1st:
It is becoming glaringly clear that Umahi borrowed and wasted billions of naira on an airport that all analysts proved wasn’t going to be viable. Today it is now clear to everyone that umahi wasted borrowed billions on ego trip project when most ebonyi people are poor, uneducated and hawking almost everywhere in Nigeria.

Poverty rate in ebonyi is over 80%. when the idea of the airport was first muted, some analysts advised that umahi should use the said funds for the project and invest heavily in human resource development and education, but he shoved it aside, today no Nigerian airline want to fly to ebonyi simply because it is a very unviable route for airlines.

What do you suggest for the present administration in ebonyi state as regards to the abandoned airport?

Do they have snow in Ebonyi? The image appears to have snow on ground

hazinibones:

Thanks Tommy. I am 29. Any particular reason why in my 20s? Please every single information count.

I left Nigeria at 29. I was working for one of the top federal parastatals and making good money. I worked many odd jobs for the first six years of my arrival before getting professional job. Even then, I never regret my decision leaving the country. Many of my former colleagues are calling me for help today.

Remember technology makes it possible to be making money in dollar while you are in Nigeria. What happen if things change in the next 10 years and you no longer have such opportunity?

I will suggest you safe your money and follow the part for legal immigration and you will not regret it.

henrimoto:
Humblelion, Stand by your fiancee to fight through this phase. The mother is the problem here.

Don't appear to be eager about the wedding before the mother and the family. Tell the mother you have heard her, call off every preparation for the wedding for now but let your fiancee know what your game plan is.

Calm down, na man you be. Just act like you are not interested in the marriage again, make your fiancee dey play her own part by troubling her mother/family.

Humblelion! Humblelion!! Make you no go beg your fiancee mother o. No go beg am o.

My simple solution is for him to give her belle and stand by to watch.

LikeAking:


Forget argument..

Compare $450 to $2550, isn't the diff too much..
Is that normal to you?

Is that diff cos of demand?

It's too much...

We are just been exploited.

I understand what you mean, but the increase is beyond demand..

If it's demand then the price most return to normal when the demand is low..

But I doubt it will ever return to previous prices.

Demand is mostly the reason. it is the same in US. I have seen situation in US where you are going from destination A to destination C which is far than destination B. in fact you will have a stopover in destination B before getting to C. However the ticket price to destination C is far cheaper than destination B. Some people going to B will buy the cheap ticket to C and just not complete the second leg of the flight. Airline are now banning people for life if they caught you doing it.

The Amount for US is average and it is accurate. The only thing is that you don't just start working the moment you arrived you will need to be licensed which may take five to 10 years

richard870:
Lol...as if they get the whole amount quoted. Please, stop misinforming people just get like/shares

Once a while, I come across sensible post on this forum. You are right. The previous rate was a subsidy for the rich. How many ordinary Nigerians can afford to buy plane ticket to Abuja talk less of sending their children abroad? Instead of subsidizing foreign travels and the importation of what we can manufacture at home, let the money be use for infrastructures development.
My only concern is that they will still loot the money that accrue from these policies and the country may not benefit.

RedpillAnalyst:
This is good move from Asiwaju.

This benefits the majority --> The real suffering Nigerians who can not afford a plane ticket even to Ghana.

Students in UK give no care about the average Nigerians seeing shege on daily basis.

All they do is start silly tiktoks and unfunny Instagram posts when they step out of Nigerian shores.

The spread between 415 and 750 for dollars is too much and the abusers are benefitting from it than 200 Million helpless Nigerians.

If these benefit the populace then so be it.

This is an estate. This is not a place people just buy from Omo-onile and build without proper approval. The FCT I believe approved the estate. Did they not check out the location to make sure it is not a place subject to flood? If they were negligent in given approval, they are liable to find an engineering solution. That is the purpose of government.

GeneralPula:

Recall that the administration had declared the Estate a disaster zone, adding that the decision followed the “consistent and persistent” threat from flooding in the Estate, and urged residents to promptly evacuate.
You sound like somebody that can think outside the box. Let say you’re the government, what solution would you propose here?

Remember, it’s a flooded area. Flooding will also jeopardize the place sooner or later & it can even kill people residing their..

So what will you do?

This is the reason you have to know the subject matter before you use chatGPT. While the explanation is correct, the explanation is contrary to the reason government increase interest rate. In monetary policy, government raise interest rate to decrease the supply of money in the economy. When there is less supply of money the demand for good and services will go down. when demands go down price go down.

In your chatGPT scenario, A rise in interest rate will result in the parent not making much money because there is less demand for what they are selling. Because they are making less money they will reduce his or her allowance and as such will reduce the quantity of goods she can buy with her allowance. Given that Sellers wanted to sell more goods ( when supply is more than demand prices fall), they will reduce their prices which reduces inflation.

In the case of BOFA, they are recommending increase in interest rate which in a country with high unemployment and majority of the workers are sustaining their income through bribery and graft. This is not likely to reduce inflation. Nigeria inflation is not as a result of over supply of money as a result of over dependent on imported goods. Instead of increasing interest rate I will recommending increasing import duties and products that can be produce locally.

exstreve:
I asked ChatGPT to explain Interest rate hike like I'm an 8 year old to some who may not understand, I do cos I trade stocks and crypto, well, here is the answer.

Well, imagine you have a piggy bank where you save your allowance money. Every once in a while, you decide to give yourself a little treat and take out some money from your piggy bank. But what if you notice that your parents start giving you more money as your allowance?

You might think, "Yay! Now I can take out more money from my piggy bank and buy even more treats!" That's kind of what a rate hike is like.

You see, when the government or a bank decides to hike, or increase, interest rates, it means they are giving more money to people. When people have more money, they tend to spend more, just like you would if you got a bigger allowance.

But why would the government or a bank do that? Well, sometimes they want people to spend more money to help businesses grow and for the economy to become stronger. When businesses grow, they can employ more people and create more jobs.

On the other hand, if the government or a bank decides to lower, or decrease, interest rates, it means they are giving people less money. In this case, people might decide to save more money instead of spending it because they aren't getting as much from their allowance. So, it's like having a smaller allowance and not being able to buy as many treats.

Rate hikes can affect many things, like how much it costs to borrow money or get a loan. When rates go up, it might become more expensive for people to borrow money, and they might not want to spend as much or take out loans to buy big things like houses or cars.

So, similar to how your allowance can affect how much you can spend on treats, rate hikes affect how much people can spend and can also influence the overall economy.

Ofunaofu:


Thank you for this.

I think there's a deliberate campaign to finish off Emefiele. But, one must understand that Emefiele never acted alone. He got approvals from the president and until the Buhari is arrested and prosecuted, all these will be regarded as political vendetta

You are thanking him for faulty reasoning. If he is right, there would be no need to sneak that section into the draft. It would be specified by the national assembly that the CBN governor will be the one recommending the appointment.

This is beyond Emefiele, I have had my issue with Emefiele way before now. I have seen him as trial and error CBN governor that lack the competency to be in charge of Nigeria monetary policy. Even then, I am skeptical that this is his hand work. I am assuming that this is a major Bleep up with the people who print and collate the copy that was sent to the president for ascent. they probably print a copy that did not become law.
I am assuming that Emefiele knows that he is not going to be the CBN governor for life. The time the law will favor him is going to be the present dispensation and the people that passed the law will still be around and will detect the problem. I am probably giving him too much credit, given the level of his Bleep up in recent times.

Senioreddy:
The NDIC is an affiliate of the CBN and as such is not out of place for the CBN governor to appoint the DG of the NDIC. This is because the CBN is Apex bank responsible for the supervision of financial institutions in the country

This doesn't in anyway undermine the presidency

Even if you are right, Should that not be specified in the law passed by the national assembly? The fact that it was sneaked into the draft after the passages shows that you are wrong.

kunkelhanspeter:


I knew from day one nothing will stop Tinubu with that kind of money he have he can bribe his way to heaven.

That is blasphemy. they don't take bribe in heaven. This is why Nigerians is never going to make heaven unless the country and his people repent.

What I was looking for and did not see is the federal regulation guiding the adoption of rules and regulations. I did not see if ARCON follow the standard open meetings and allows for stakeholders input before the adoption of their rules and regulations.

IyaebeTheGreat:
He's a selfish husband. Two househelp no go do me sef because I won't have strength for any other thing aside breastfeeding my baby. He's a selfish and wicked husband

You said he is wicked and selfish, even though you have not heard his said of the story. I don't know how old you are, whether you are single or married. There is great complexity in family life; it is not wise to quickly judge people base on one sided information. Why is her relatives and the husband relatives not helping out? Saying no at first does not mean he can not change his mind. He may say no because he know the type of wife she is. I don't no, may be he is wicked, but it is not for us to judge when we don't have the complete information. You said you are the great. Greatness come with wisdom. Wisdom require complete knowledge before forming an opinion. The Yoruba are very much aware of this pitfall when they said, " an elder that pass judgement base on the information provided by one party to a quarrel is a wicked elder"

IfnobeGod20:

What you're saying should be the right thing if the act that established them says a fine can be imposed if any broadcasting station erred and the range of the fine imposed is stipulated in their act. But the inhouse made rule by NBC is against the constitution and that is what the court is saying.
If NCC act have the backing of imposing certain amount of money for any telecommunication offender, there is nothing any court can do about it. So, each agency has its own act. For example, in the regulation of private guards, the law has stipulated the amount of fine if any private guard breached any guideline. So, if such imposed, no court can void it because it is an act of Parliament. It is now an eye opener for them to go to national assembly to fine-tune the law that established them for more biting.

In your logic, NBC is a regulatory agency that can not impose penalty. That is a powerless agency. It is not in all cases that the law specifies the amount that must be imposed. Who knows this ruling, if it stands will upend the Nigeria regulatory system. Because it is not only NBC that impose fines.

linearity:


You are comparing Apples to Oranges.

The baseline here is the Nigerian Constitution and not the Constitution of the United States of America. Yes, there are similarities but the two books are totally different.

A very good example is, the word "Impeachment" can be found in the America Constitution and also in Nigeria Constitution, but the meaning and applications are totally different. In the US to impeach the President simply means for the House to indict him or charge him with an offense but in Nigeria impeaching the President means removing him/her from office.

To understand the subject matter, consult the Nigeria Constitution, The Act establishing these Agencies and Case Laws in Nigeria...The fact that, the Act ascribe powers to a particular Agency does not mean that those powers are valid, they can be challenged and if they run contrary to the Constitution of Nigeria they will be stricken down.

Did you read the article? What section of the constitution did the judge base his decision on? He based it on the principle of separation of power. Separation of power is universal in most constitutional government.

lhordspy:
Maybe i am wrong BUT This doesnt make sense. NBC is a regulating commission, it should have power to be able to sanction erring broadcasting organisation without having to rely on the judiciary.

Instead it is the broadcasting organisation that should file a case at the court if they are not satisfy with the sanctions imposed on them.

It is more like telling LASTMA, ROAD SAFETY or other precautionary and regulating agency to seek court intervention before impounding your vehicle for going against the law or NCC trying to seek court intervention before imposing sanctions on erring network providers. This are regulatory bodies, it is one of their main responsibility taken away from them while rendering them incapacitated.

Court process takes to long. We all know NBC is the only thing holding this mischievous and overly sentimental media houses by the balls and checkmating their excesses. If not, journalism would have been an insane crazy affair in this country. It should be the other way round. Anyone who is not satisfy with the sanctions should go to court not the regulatory body seek court intervention and interpretation before imposing sanctions.

Take a look at ARISETV as a case study. This is an invitation to unethical, unprincipled journalism.

You are not wrong. It is a judgement that will not stand.

I am not a fan of NBC. However, I think this judge interpretation of the law get K leg. Even in western countries ministries and and agencies impose fines. If the company feels the fine is unjust, they can go to court for the court to arbitrate.
May be this is just fake news. otherwise going by the logic you can not be issued with parking or driving violations unless you go to court.

Rubbiish:

It is not that easy at bold
No client will come
He needs the less than 100k work to gather court experience & establish connects to build a considerable clientele before setting up his own firm, else he will just waste money for renting office space, because no one will hire him

I believe you can build your clientele, if you are a good lawyer, if you start running your practice from your room. Print adverts and pass it around the police stations in your neighborhood, print cards, create website to write commentaries on legal issues, promote yourself on social media. It may be very hard at the beginning but after one or two years you will be glad you did.

BucketMan:
I'm a lawyer

I think the hardest part about my job is that the remuneration is not commensurate with the high demands of the profession... You're expected to always look neat and elegant as a lawyer but you're paid 30k per month fresh out of law school.

Working in a law firm is intellectually demanding, and you always have to be on your A game. It's really good being a lawyer I love every aspect of it apart from the salary scale.

If you are making less than #100k as a lawyer you should open your own practice

Live long and prosper Mr. Oruma in good health , happiness and the joy of the lord in Jesus name. Amen

Babathanks:

You're not seeing the full pictures but you're judging on sentiment. I once apply to study medicine at Canada and I know how much it cost and other western countries, medical studies are very cheap in Nigeria compare to other countries that's why we have alot of them here. If all this countries take all of our country doctors finish, who is going to treat average Nigerians if we are sick?, What's the benefit that our medical studies is cheap if we are exporting them to the western world

There is complexity in public policy especially in education and medical care. Education is expensive everywhere. Nigeria is not the only country subsiding medical education. The western nations subsidized their education more than in Nigeria. It cost poor people to educate their children in Nigeria than poor Americans or Canadians. I have two kids that have graduated college in Engineering and Health care. I spend more money educating relatives kid in Nigeria than I spend on my children in America. If you children are averagely ok academically they can attend college free from elementary to PHD level. I have my third child in community college, her honor program provided her with free computer, We initially pay for her tuition but she was awarded full scholarship and we were refunded what we pay.
It is not my position that the medical brain drain is not an issue, but my issue is the people that is living large on government that is suppose to tackle the problem proposing solution that is not likely to address the issue.
