Politics / Re: First Lady Unveils Vegetable Garden At State House (Picture) by ibnew: 8:12am On Jul 07 |
Islie:Why is this government like this. Treating a population of 200million with highly intellectual people like fools. People (men and women) are ready to go to farms. In fact they are already in the farms but they are either being chased out by bandits or herdsmen, kidnapped, their cultivated crops eaten and destroyed by herdsmen and their cows. Farmland taken over by bandits and demanding ransom before you can farm. Government is not doing much in securing farm land protecting farmers. Farmers are killed on daily basis round the country. There is no government in the world that does not protect farmers. Even in war, recently in Ukraine a ceasefire was agreed so farmers can ship their wheat and grains. Do you know how much of subsidy, palliative and support America give to their farmers. With a large population, food shortage is a recipe for high cost, anarchy and crime. 2 Likes |

richmond500:Why are the senators not buying made in Nigeria SUV. Do you know how much billion we are spending on SUV for them. Govt should be showing example. It was alleged that they shared dollar envelopes during delegates and general elections. Now they are crying foul. They should stop dollarizing the economy. Why did they not share naira envelopes. They other day a member of the legislative wanted to appreciate his personal staff and share dollars for them publicly. Did you see the list of major import for 2022 shared earlier in this chat, 76.7% of total import and no consumer goods in there. Local production is key no doubt but this narrative is not entirely true. Who spends dollars physically in the street of Nigeria no one. So why do we have dollar flying around everywhere. Digitize dollar and restrict dollars transaction to online only after all no one pays for goods and services with dollar cash. That way these transactions can be tracked monitored and controlled to the level of willing seller and willing buyer that They want. The highest import is fuel. They have not been able to tell us why after billions of dollars the refineries are not work. They are not probing the monies. May it surprise you that we import cooking gas from Niger and Angola even though we a gas exporting country. There is something fundamentally wrong with Nigerian leadership. First it was PDP and now it APC with 8 years of nothing to write home about. Even some policies signed by Buhari were not implemented because a cabal is benefiting from it. They sell us this narrative. Yes local production is key. Why don't dey subsidy tariff on modular refineries, drug manufacturing, equipment and parts manufacturing. MAN. Manufacturing association of Nigeria is crying for help but no body is listening to them. Foreign investors are waiting but we need to get security and power right but govt is not looking in that direction. Who will pump his billions of dollars in a country where is live is not guaranteed or spend so much on power. Most developed or developing countries don't develop them selves alone there are foreign investors. We have all it takes minerals and others for investors to be flocking around but there are watching. To set up manufacturing locally you also need foreign support with this dollar rate and instability, it discourages investors. See food, some farmers can't go to the farms. So annual yield is low. Bandits have taken over so farming communities so people can't go to farms. This is also contributing to food crisis and inflation. Members of this govt has been around for some time now, best is to set up a team do some brainstorming and profer short, middle term and long term solution. Not this back and forth with a population of about 200m and large economy like ours 2 Likes |

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Was The Interviewee's Answer Wrong? (photo) by ibnew: 2:04pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
siofra:Are you guys serious. That the interviewer is not suppose to ask some kind of questions and the question is dump. The interviewers use different strategies during interviews depending on their mission or what they want to achieve. I have conducted interviews and have attended interviews both virtual and physical. I ask that question too. The reason is most times the CV is a well planned and written document. When you now ask the guy a question about himself in the spur of the moment, you get a different version. If everything there is true the owner will run through it effortlessly but if it is garnished, during his talk you will pick loopholes easily that will prompt you to ask other questions. Another thing is you went for an interview looking for job meaning you are ready to be under someone's supervision why don't you just answer the questions first. It is not an insulting or derogatory question. Sometimes dump question are deliberately asked to see your composure and how you will react in situations when you boxed up. This normally happen when there are so many qualified candidates and they must pick few among the lot. One the best job i ever did years back was after one of dumbest interview I have ever had. It was with a multinational into IT equipment installation. I just kept my cool. They have rounded their business and are off now. We were told right from the beginning that's the plan anyways. My advice will be just calm down. You applied for a job. |

Mooh247:Bros leave that thing o! Military is the cash cow for all these thieves. Do you know how many billions they recovered from Late Air Vice Marshall Badeh. This is just one person that we know of. Everybody profit from this arms deals, insurgency, banditry and kidnapping. See the Drug scandal rocking the police force. There are so many things we don't know. Some much money being stolen. Automatic billionaires made everyday from stolen public funds, oil money and loans. With the amount of money circulating in Nigeria only few Nigerians are suppose to be below poverty line. But the monies are in few hands and we are hailing them planning to get there to get our own without asking for accountability. We don't care to know that the reason why most people are suffering and everything look so upside down is because our collective wealth and future have been stolen. |

If southerners say the bill do not meet their agitations how many southern senators and representatives voted against. This is democracy and those who understand the game is playing it better. Even during and after the initial agitations, bombing and burning, was the region better off. Some people were settled but the generality of the people and communities have nothing to show. |

Righteousness2:We all should be very careful here. Open your eye and see through. We pray God should give us discernment into his words. Some words in the bible are advice from the author's some are direct words of the Lord and of Christ. Do not forget the tradition and region the bible event came from. For example the traditional dressing for men in most part of Niger delta is wrapper around the waist. So should the people throw their tradition away? There are women trousers and there are men trousers by the way they are sewn. The woman body and man body are not same. First difference you will notice in trousers is the direction of zip for a woman trouser. The tradition clothes for Africans are wrapper based for both male and female. The English people that thought or brought Christianity don't use wrappers. The women use gown, shirt and ladies trousers. Even the jean is tailored differently for man and female. You will notice that in Niger delta area, men of God dress in their native attires for special occasions ( the male dress on top and the wrapper down) Are they now sinner. It's only God that has the right to judge anyway. Let's just be careful. |

I believe the tail tell signs are always there were ignored. Ladies should go for genuine love and stop looking for guys that fits a particular script in their head . When they found one they start using everything to force the friendship and call it relationship. Go for real love girls. Stop going after script and bling bling and those that you want to show off on social media. After you will come and say no real love again. Some will say na who love help! Ok now! No love we go chop! Ok o! If it's all about what a guy has that means no girl will love your brother! Guys want peace of mind, support and gentle nudges here and there. Not the all possessive take control type. Good guys are tired of been mothered. 7 Likes |

Politics / Re: I Lost N20 Million To Shasha Crisis, Not Going Back There - Chairman by ibnew: 12:42pm On Feb 17, 2021 |
Please let us stop this Yoruba this Yoruba that. Wait am not saying they did right. We all have seen killings, kidnapping and raping all over the land without any tangible effort from the government. Tension have risen and any small misunderstanding can lead to serious crisis especially in this social media age. This is why the government should be seen to be the general meditator but no they kept quiet. That is a recipe for things like this. Thoughtfull leaders have bee warning but government was calling them names and threatening them. People all over in Zanfara, Taraba, Jos, Kaduna, Benue, Edo, ondo, Ekiti, Oyo ogun, Kwara, the East etc are angry because of the crimes. The government at Federal, state levels should be seen fighting this crimes. The national assemblies should be discussing , planning and galvanizing ideas and support towards bring harmony but no. Everyone of us is condemning the action in the west now but have we as a nation rose up in protest, discussion, dialogue and against this criminals elements since. How can we have leaders and people no matter the tribe or religion are been raped, kidnapped and killed and no one have been brought to book or convicted. And we expected people to still remain same. Are they spirit? Even in the home if things go missing all times without intruder suspicion will set in. They say foreigners. They pass through our borders and villages so let us protect out nation. Let us not go the easy way of tribe and religion that will lead to more issues. Let us identify the real enemy and deal with it. Killings no matter the excuse is BAD. God did not create any human for another to kill. |
Car Talk / Re: PAN Faults FG's Plan To Reduce Import Duty On Vehicles by ibnew: 9:57am On Nov 20, 2020 |
The idea of encourage local manufacturer I don't understand. Even in America, foreign manufactured cars like Toyota, Kia, BMW, and the rest are still being shipped to America. Or they have their plants in America. In my opinion, govt should give waivers to this growing manufacturer. Create enabling environment for them to strive and produce at competitive price. No body would want to waste money. People will buy at good price instead of import. But if this is not done and you try to frustrate import, you are encouraging smuggling, tariff manipulation and all sort of bypass to beat the system. Please do we know anywhere in the world where import duty is 70% abi how much is it now self. It's about 5 or 6% in Dubai. I think it 20% in Ghana. 40% in South Africa where there are assembly plants. Our policies are always way off from attending to the issue. We make governance look like rocket science. In a country this blessed with so much, governance shouldn't be some much of trial and error. Please somebody with more accurate info or knowledge is free to correct any of my wrong. 1 Like |

Abouwaza:Unfortunately he is right. Now this is not to say that the administration is best at running the Economy. The thing is as much as we need middle men for businesses, and goods delivery, their activities needs regulation like other nations. In some cases eliminate them where possible. The middle men are involved in hoarding and jacking up of prices unnecessarily for not adding any value. In Nigeria if you break down the cost of goods, the percentage cost input by the middle men is the highest. Manufacturers with all the liability don't make the profit middle men make. They even form themselves in an association that control the market. That's why you see some products with price tag yet the consumer still don't get at that price. |
