The grains should be distributed not kept in storage forever

they're strategic reserves sir.

Can we all now agree that removal of subsidy on petrol and floating of the naira are both failed policies. Nigerians didn't have to suffer like this for the past one month.

We're back to where we started. Government is still settling the difference between the landing cost and selling price of petrol and also setting the price of dollar in the market.

Just like the above mentioned cases, this price increase in electricity will lead to massive bypass(of the meters) by the people thereby leading to revenue shortages and the government will be forced to intervene again.

Over the years, the successive governments have failed to build the microeconomics and the purchasing power of the masses to create organic wealth. Now suddenly , they want to operate a liberal and free market economy because the IMF advised them to. Una never see anything.

What we see is overnight billionaires who throw monies in parties without creating real wealth.

I just pity the incoming administrations cause the mess already created will put them in another mess

SalamRushdie:
You and I Know Iran is not crazy to strike Isreal directly

no one wants to see the middle East in flames especially USA. They have a lot more to lose than the parties involved.

Russia, Saudi and their clique will raise the price of crude oil to $200/barrel at the start of the conflict. Use the extra funds to destabilize the region more and have energy prices soaring through the roof around the globe. Europe will have to beg Russia for gas and might throw in Ukraine as a gift.

So Israel and Iran direct confrontation goes against everything USA is trying to achieve

1Sharon:
If they say Mary Slessor stopped the killing of twins, then I fully believe it. Africans demonise/spiritualized things they don't understand.

in another version of the story, the Calabar people worshipped twins because they believed that they're the living representation of their dual living deity. When the white man came, he told them that their deity is evil and everything about it evil. By demonizing their deity so they can accept the religion of the white man. So by accepting the teaching of the white man, everything about their old forms of worship were categorized as evil including twins (which were formerly revered as their God).


So there you have it. When the white man came, they met a highly organized and religious people so they had to distort our ways to enable them confuse us into their own.

King Leopold of Belgium did it in Congo

Benwallt:
Armchair historian at it again. Are you from Edo State?

They like altering history there

people like you believe mungo park discovered Niger River. That's what they taught you and that's what you know

Objectivist04:

Oga that is lmo culture not Igbo culture, in my place she will still be indoors and on the few occasions she will come out, she will be dressed in all white or black to signify that she is mourning.
For God's sake her husband was buried just over a month ago and she has already traveled to her home town with her husband's brother so that her people could hand her over to him. That is not an lgbo tradition and it sounds absurd to most of us.
She is an old woman with grownup children for God's sake.
In lgbo land when a woman is widowed , her adult children will take care of her not her husband's sibling, .
What they did there is their tradition not Igbo tradition.

in my place, the man doesn't marry his own wife(if his father is alive). His father goes to the family of the wife and the family of the wife hands over their daughter to him to marry and take care of. There's no sexual relationship between them though.
Traditions differ from place to place so don't use your own to overlay to others

AND the bomb they dropped on world kitchen crew ain't soft target?



Remove US back up, IRAN will deal with Isreal. Iran is just like the giant of middleast.

people underestimate those Persians. These people ruled the world at some point and no matter what happens, they still carry that ego just like the British people carry it.

Israel can never attack any Iranian soil but their embassies. Same goes for Iranians. There's so much at stake and avoiding direct confrontation is very important. Not even USA will attack Iran directly

So Paul has migrated from YouTube personality to boxer. Something that started as a joke is now turning into professional career.

Congratulations to him sha

Not heard of Bernard Arnault before. People get money ohhh

but you have heard about Louis Vuitton and Versace and co. He owns them all. All designer stuff are owned by him

Objectivist04:
Such ritual is only performed in her village not Igbo land,. I never heard that a woman will go to her father's land for any ritual after the death of her husband and I am an Igbo and an adult as well, so she shouldn't make it seem to be a general practice. Again I haven't heard about a widow's family handing her over to her husband's sibling, honestly this sounds strange to me.

If she is to be from my place, she would still be in mourning period

you were born and raised in a place outside of your village

For your safety and sanity, you need to leave her alone for now. Leave the house and apply for divorce here in Nigeria and use the chats as your evidence. Take back ownership of the shop and ensure all sales are remmited to your account.

About your son, you file for custody. You don't have to worry about her running away with him. She doesn't love the child (she ignores the baby while frolicking with the guy). And you have been the one bankrolling the whole escapades.

That being said, you married her because you love her but she saw you as her ticket out of poverty

You don't give her money but you expect her to spend her own money.

As a man, you need to be worried about your own funds and not worry about how much the other person is making or made. It will not add anything to your own

PressMyButton:
PDP sold NEPA to incompetent individuals while Government keeps paying subsidy to support their operations. Such can only happen in Nigeria where we keep giving money to buyers of public assests. They are only interested in collecting subsidies to futher enrinch themselves, for so long, Government has been paying subsidy for darkness. Kudos to the President for gradually putting a stop to the fraud.

APC have had nine years to fix the problem

Is this different from what Buhari launched that was expected to even work as an ATM card

Themanleshey:



How much are you paying ? How has this affected you ?

No be una want stable power supply ? Does it come free ?

must our bills be charged in dollars and not naira?

Stable power will not cost lives. It's supposed to be comparative to the income of the masses

malali:
Atiku should tell us how the light functions in Dubai ?

Atiku should tell us how much he pays in Dubai for Electricity ?

Atiku should tell us how much light he has in Yola ?

Atiku should tell us how much Mikano makes per annum from generator sales and services ?

Atiku should tell us if he prefers the amenities in Dubai to that in Yola ? Why does he choose to live in Dubai ?

Average bill for a 2 bedroom in dubai is $125 dollars. Atiku's mansion in Dubai probably pays $700 for electricity a month !!

If your wife has a big behind, be careful if your friends advise you to divorce her. Not all advise should be taken !

what is your problem?

So you want to compare light bulbs between Nigeria and Dubai? How about minimum wage and IPC(income per capita)

Since when did we start spending dollars in Nigeria that the government will be using dollar as benchmark to charge electricity bill.


Pay workers using dollar rates and charge accordingly. Unlike developed economies, Nigeria is still blessed with insane resources which are more than enough to power our cities and still be charged based on our income as a people.

Just so you know,we have gas, solar, oceans for wind and coal plus water for dams.

The masses are made to pay for the incompetence of the government. When government was embezzling the funds meant for the power sector, the masses were not party to it. So why should the masses made to pay.

Just before you think you're not affected because you are currently not in band A, your power provider can decide today to upgrade you against your will and you will be made to pay the insane rates with your meager income

Ikaeniyan0:
I'm using a prepaid meter, so far the power supply is regular, I don't mind.

I'm very certain that you can not afford it

The reasons they gave for the hike in prices have nothing to do with the ordinary masses.

We didn't increase inflation, devalue the naira nor increase inflation in the US.

The failure of the government should not be suffered by the masses. Government should first of all increase the income of the populace before increasing their bills.

But watch as they will spin this into a tribal affair and watch how the poor masses will rise up and fight against each other while groaning under intense suffering

justmi1:
Yes I am, I spend 180k daily on diesel to run my factory. People complaining like there won't be metres. Average person don't consume much power as they have fewer appliances. An average man needs power for empowerment not leisure.

your factory will be using more than average home will consume. I use 10k diesel daily sha but it is not enough reason to pay exorbitant light bill

naijapikin2:

If you are a believer I'd advise you to read the scripture for better understanding. Tithing is scriptural. It works for us... We who give to the growth of God's kingdom are blessed by our giving.
Read zechariah 1:17


Stop hoodwinking us. We are old enough to know what works for us. We don't need you to deceive us. Do what Favours you and leave us to do what benefits us.

Thank you

so far as you give your money,no one cares. It's about the pastor cursing another pastor with stroke for admonishing against tithe.

If you think tithe brought Elon to his level, keep at it

Ikaeniyan0:
Retire is the right word, not retired.

You too dumbo

really you

Ikaeniyan0:
Nah every idiot just dey jump on the comment. You're making it seem as if you blow a perfect grammar on nairaland yet you failed to notice your own mistake.

so you go about cursing people right?

Ikaeniyan0:
The most important thing is that you will get a ban you deserve

and what happens when it happens?

My life will cease and you will carry on with your tribal wars on nairaland?

tunlex01:

Trade test I, II, III, Apprenticeship/Training agreement, Apprenticeship/Training certificate, Apprenticeship/Training transcript/syllabus
OR
Diploma/HND in fabrication or welding related engineering course.

Then you will need documents to prove employment
Self employment: CAC registration, business bank statement, receipts, invoices, tax
Employee: Pension, salary bank statement, payslips, employment letter, tax statement

ok thanks

Johnjustice:

Most are really ignorant.

what is the problem is that we have zero idea of the byproducts of crude oil. Just because the government has always been fixated on diesel and petrol,many don't know that the byproducts are many. Majority of what we do not even need or use

The same people who are celebrating that this young man won,if you ask them to come out and vote, they will give you a litany of reasons why they won't.

61% of eligible voters voted but here in Nigeria, election day is a public holiday.

If the masses vote en masse, it will be very difficult for anyone to rig the election.

Congratulations to Faye

Jashub:
The old one have already taught their children the game so what you are saying...

a less corrupt citizens can make better choices during election

Ikaeniyan0:
Speak for yourself and your family

crop up the part you want to push your agenda

Jashub:
The law in Nigeria is only applicable to the masses. Not the elites who keep stealing in billions

this small small ones need to be discouraged. If these old ones phase out and they have no replacement, Nigeria will begin to get it right
