Politics / Re: Happy 64th Independence Day To Nigeria And All Nigerians by MisterKay321(m): 7:48am On Oct 01 |
Salubata: Happy 64th birthday to my beloved country.
Gid bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria
That means you as citizen is very very unproductive to have effective anything positive into Nigeria. Because you kot castigating Nigeria are Nigeria whom should be blamed.
You want to live at the expense of your country but in real World, your country lives at your expense, check developed worlds.
I quote Reno Omokri
Before You Protest On Independence Day
The biggest challenge to Nigeria's progress as a nation is not corruption, tribalism, terrorism, inflation or even the removal of fuel subsidy. It is our entitlement.
The government did not do this. The government did not do that. I wish every Nigerian could travel the world. There is nothing like government airports, hospitals, schools, or markets in these nations we want to japa to.
Governments in Europe, America and Canada do not go into business or provide many of the services the Nigerian government provides for the Nigerian people.
Hospitals are built, owned and operated by the private sector. Ditto for hospitals, universities, airports, power stations, transmission lines, and sometimes even roads.
59.9% of Americans pay taxes, and their tax money is mostly used to fund the government and the military. I challenge you to find one government-owned hospital in America for civilians.
Even their postal services are run by the private sector.
When you hear British Telecommunications, British Gas, British Aerospace, British Energy and British Airways, none of them are owned by the British government.
When you hear Bank of America, American Airlines, and American Electric Power Company, these are all private companies.
The most profitable business run by the U.S. government is the U.S. military. Almost every other thing they leave for the private sector.
Please fact-check me: If you earn €58.597 in Germany, you will pay 42% of your income or €24,610 as taxes. There will be riots if you ask Nigerians to pay this level of tax. But we want a German level of delivery from our government. So, where will the money to run Nigeria come from?
In 1960, Nigeria could afford that because our population was 45 million, and we needed to raise an educated class speedily. By 1970, we could still afford it, and we did provide it, because our population was just approaching 50 million, and we still had a shortage of qualified persons.
But this was no longer practicable by the 1990s when our population topped 120 million. And how when we are twice that, at 220 million, it would be ruinous.
Britain went through these stages, and Mrs. Thatcher was forced to end birthright citizenship, introduce council tax, and privatise every government-owned business, including giants like British Telecom, British Gas, British Energy, British Aerospace, and British Airways.
Fewer than 8% of Nigerians actually pay income taxes, yet we want the government to build schools, hospitals, power stations, transmission lines, railways, airports, stadia, etc.
Then, after doing these, the government should still have money left over to subsidise fuel and power and give palliatives to Nigerians, or we will protest their alleged mismanagement and corruption.
Even insecurity stems from this issue. We need about five million soldiers and security officers to effectively secure Nigerians, but we have less than two million. We need at least three million more soldiers, policemen, airmen, etc. But when only about 6% of us pay taxes, where will the money to pay them come from?
Nigerians are the main problem of Nigeria!
You will hear them say, but we have oil.
Saudi Arabia has a population of 35 million and makes $350 billion annually from oil. That is $10,000 per citizen. Nigeria has a population of 220 million people and generates approximately $36 billion from crude annually. That is $150 per person. At 2.6 million people, Qatar is just one per cent of our population. Yet, their annual revenue is $68 billion. Two and a half times that of Nigeria.
Nigeria is not "oil rich". We are oil-poor. On a per capita basis, Ghana is more oil-rich than we are. We produce 1.5 million barrels per day for a population of 220 million people. Ghana produces 200,000 barrels per day for a population of 32 million.
So, when Nigerians hardly pay taxes and our oil and gas revenue is insufficient to meet the demands of running our country, we are forced to borrow or print money, which means that inflation will increase.
And under this situation, we cannot afford to artificially reduce the price of fuel by paying subsidy. We will go bankrupt. Therefore, as much as this annoys you, the only options are to allow market forces to control the fuel price, just as it does other commodities, or we must be prepared to pay higher taxes.
Failing that, Nigeria will continue to borrow or print more money, fueling inflation and increasing commodity prices.
Protests and riots cannot change these economic realities. They will be just like a child's tantrum when his parents cannot afford to buy him a toy.
Nigerians want to live at the state's expense, forgetting that the state has to live at the expense of the people or it will collapse, as the Soviet Union did in 1991.

Education / Re: ASUU Strike: Does The Union Deserves Their Withheld Salaries? by MisterKay321(m): 10:58pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
rizingsun: I believe that lecturers should be paid their past salaries because they will still teach the students all that they were supposed to be taught. If you deny them their salaries, should the student be graduated to the next level/class without teaching and examination? If this holds, third year students will then graduate and pass out. collect their their certificates and proceed to NYSC scheme. So if the lecturers will teach the omitted schemes and examine the students as they should, then they deserve to be paid. This is a postponed job that must be done before going forward. You have a point. Someone once said if the federal government ignores the backlog of the salaries of lecturers, the lecturers too should ignore the remaining part of the academic year and start a new one. That's a recipe for academic crisis. |

How do they repair it do they change the RAM or what The ram is removed. The ram slot is cleaned with brush or with a cleaning liquid and allowed to dry. The ram 'buses' are cleaned too. If you're lucky, upon reinserting the ram, the laptop displays. If not, another good ram is inserted to make it display. 1 Like |
