Career / Re: Business Centre For Sale In Lagos_ by Favben(m): 8:59am On May 19, 2020
Lol, a business of 0.7m that earns you 20k a month after paying employee 30k (gross of 50k you estimated). Payback period of 3 _yrs...oh its not cos you still have to pay recurring rent if 240k for another 2 years running...and you say last price? If you want to sell, please review price and come to the negotiation table. You are not doing anybody a special favor.
Politics / Re: Niger State Residents React To 24-Hour Light Because Of Presence Of Osinbajo by Favben(m): 1:18pm On Aug 15, 2017
What is most painful about the Nigerian situation is the level of ignorance on the part of the citizenry. It simply spells that there is no hope in sight for improvement. We continually refuse to seek out verifiable facts for information, play to the gallery for just about everything and assume that consensus of belief that someone else is responsible for our discomfort would in some way make things better.

I stay in Shiroro LGA of Niger state and we have on average, 16 hours of power supply in Kuta. Sometimes up to 3 days uninterrupted. To expect same for Minna that is largely populated is unreasonable knowing that our electricity production and more, our transmission is way less than our demand.

Hence, if the capital is prioritised during the Ag. President's visit at the expense of some other areas, it should make for common sense. We have to keep in mind that there are cascades of agreements signed with communities where most national investments are located which may include prioritization benefits or lower billing charges for these communities.

Hmmmmmm,very soon a man of 60years will claim his under 20, where will d son or daughter of a common man get money for campaign

Hmm,
The son or daughter of a common man who is not knowledgeable enough to know how to get money for campaign has no business running for public office cos there is no way s/he could source funds to serve the electorate in their best interests if elected into office, don't you think?
Politics / Re: FG School Feeding Programme To Launch Today by Favben(m): 9:45am On Jun 09, 2016
We are in need of funds to support agriculture, entrepreneurship and local production. Unemployment is on the rise. The nation's economic driver is being sabotaged due to disagreement between the central government and the regions locals. Crude oil no longer holds the value it used to, leaving Nigeria broke. So broke, she presently does not have the funds to execute her annual budget.

Commonsense would expect Nigeria to invest in assets(funding for smes,agrobased and solid minerals sector, rail, air and water transport,education and research,technology start-ups etc) rather than any form of liability(feeding school children with x amount).

For how long will the silly feeding continue? How is it sustainable? And when asked to setup an economic advisory team, his team of "advisers" would say there is one!

No matter how many other assets they may claim to have planned out, Nigeria is too broke for this! You cannot take 3 steps forward and 2 backwards each time and expect to make any significant progress. Not everything the United Nations or whichever global body suggests would work for our specific situation except of course they are funding it 100 percent for us without conditions.

so what are they trying to prove now? that the police is a very decent organization?




not having tattooed men in the force doesn't meanby tomorrow you wouldn't see their men on the roadside collecting bribes of #50 or #100 from drivers





We cannot concede to all forms of indecency because one form of indecency has not been successfully battled.

Easternviper:
it's a question of leave my God given resources alone and fend for yourselves. stop stealing my resources to develop your region in the name of one Nigeria.

That is the clear message. I am just appalled that when a grave matter like this is up, ppl will be spilling sentimental statements based on who they are(tribe) instead of giving due thought to consequences.

Poor advice or not taking advice by the No 1 citizen brought us here. It would be fool hardy of any Nigerian to say manning the pipelines is a solution.

I don't think the NDA is clueless with the tact I see and their sense of timing.

At a time of low oil prices and a record low economic period that is not just local but worldwide, Nigeria is not in the best position to fund a ..., nor is the rest of the world for support, battling their own queer circumstances.

To everyone that is trying to judge this on the basis of "who looses?" Please think again. The light situation has become worse in my area since these attacks on the pipelines and we are still waiting for The minister for power to come before the Senate house to tell us inadequate gas supply to our turbines is the cause.

Sad thing is, the NDA are not surprised the president aggravated them, they were counting on it.

... is looming.

The average man on the street is cheering both sides on, on the basis of tribal and religious affiliations.

But lets remember, that the brunt of every ... is borne by the common man who has no diplomatic passport, private jet nor the means to either leave or survive in the ... torn territory when things get tough.

Let's find a peaceful resolution to this

Crime / Re: Olamide Narrates How Ikorodu Police Assaulted Him by Favben(m): 5:04pm On Jun 02, 2016
What bullocks!?
Is bail not supposed to be free?

And that is what the police complaints desk had to say?

I hope @Akinwumiambode has replied.
If you are not getting his attention on this tag @iambuhari

If you can afford a lawyer, get one and sue.

I even have a question of my own. Does the state(Nigeria) provide citizens that can't afford an attorney, an attorney?

Crime / Re: Jungle Justice In Nigeria – Do Or Don’t by Favben(m): 1:20pm On Jun 01, 2016
Jungle justice is not a DO or DONT.

It is a Criminal Offence and anyone who goes on to kill someone (an armed robber or thief) who does not pose an immediate threat to his life in the moment the act is done, is to be tried for murder.

Politics / Re: Bill On Loans For Undergraduates Passes Second Reading by Favben(m): 12:56pm On Jun 01, 2016
Okay, since it's a loan and whoever borrows would have to pay back, no problem; but I don't think that it's the most pressing need right now given that tertiary education in Nigeria is tuition free.

Annual fees charged by Nigerian higher institutions for maintenance and management services to students range from 15k to 70k in federal universities. This is not remitted to the federal government. Note that this is not tuition fees. The federal government is yet saddled with payment of lecturers salaries and other compensations.

Essentially we are enjoying free education in Nigeria at the tertiary level. A look at what is obtainable in other advanced countries, better economies than Nigeria will show you that we have it too good.

But, how good is it really when we talk about the quality of education?

Tertiary education requires massive funding that cannot be footed by government, tuition fees, or industry, each acting alone.

A secondary school student spends more in fees for three terms than a university students annual fees. This stops education of the abjectly poor early on or at best makes them settle for a quality of education that would not turn them out as sound as is safe for society.

This favour the federal government of Nigeria is doing her citizens is obviously not working. A compulsory preliminary education that is either free or affordable to all up to SSCE level should be adopted instead because I believe their is a relationship between the average level of education of citizens and the social vices we see in our nation (Tribal and religious terrorism, militancy, butchering herdsmen, herdsmen butchering, highway robbery, kidnapping, deliberate crude oil spillage and irreversible destruction of one's habitat, bombing and destruction of public property, jungle/street justice).

We cannot all be graduates.

We can however all be educated intelligent citizens filling each, a different niche and thriving.

Some would learn a vocation after a compulsory basic education (ssce level), others a trade or craft.

This same system is adopted by the U.S and the U.K and has recorded tremendous success. Parents in those locales plan and contribute to a college fund for a selected child who they think would thrive best in further education.

Sometimes paying more is good. If I pay more, I would demand that a commensurate quality of service is rendered. Citizens who pay would make demands for what it's worth and this is really what is needed to keep the educational system on it's toes while helping provide the funding it needs.

We have to kill the apathy that comes with, the fees is not much so we don't expect much.

Let education rather be free to SSCE level and tertiary education tuition charged as obtainable elsewhere.

Students being sponsored through school would perhaps take learning more seriously.

Parents would perhaps take their wards open day more seriously.

Poorly performing lecturers would perhaps loose their jobs to an active feedback system.

That we may have the capacity to pay our lecturers better.

Then perhaps we can attract more great minds from all around the world to lecture in Nigerian Institutions.

And produce better graduates that Nigeria needs for technological advancement necessary to get her out of her economic woes in the 21st century.

With restored confidence in the educational system, more industry participation, funding and partnership to drive research would be possible.

Politics / Re: Bill To Lower Age To Contest In Elections Passes First Reading In NASS by Favben(m): 10:35pm On May 28, 2016
I think this is a bill that needs the unflinching support of the youths to pull it through. This is opening a new frontier to Nigerian politics and the fight for a developed Nigeria.
While it is also desirable to raise the educational qualification to run for public office as has been stated by intelligent minds here, let's take it a battle at a time, a bill at a time. Let's pick them off one at a time. Let's get to win this one. Then another. The youths of Nigeria daily downplay their capability. We are the only age bracket that has the numbers to single handedly change the face of leadership in this nation. Legally. Let's start by supporting eligibility of people in tune with cutting edge technology, world social and economic policies of the day and dynamics of interplay between world economies to run for public office.

Let's share and inspire.
Let's start a fire.
Something has to change.

After so long. You guys expect us to be happy you are just extending your services to few other states?

Keep sleeping, when there is massive infrastructure planning and development for 4g going on with the mobile network service providers.

By the end of the year, they may all have their 4g services up and running. You guys missed your chance.

When will my fellow Nigerians stop arguing over crap?

When will our arguments be more about how to build up and not to destroy.

Nobody is saying, "hey, we have copper, perhaps I can begin wounding of alternator coils for him so that Mitsubishi wouldn't supply it no more".

No one is saying, "if we can make cars, then we could stop importation of electric fan totally"

I'm yet to hear, " hey I do not have much capital but with the little I have, I can start making ceramic wares here in Nigeria"

No technician saying "I can provide you with locally made baking kilns"

All I hear is "we do not speak the same language therefore let the Naira which we both use be valueless".

STOP.
JUST STOP!
PLEASE.
