Every man must find ways to survive. Petrol subsidy is gone for good.

A001:
"The key to the success of fuel subsidy removal is the behavioural changes it will lead to.

After adjusting your behaviour, even though the price of petrol has increased, you may end up spending less on petrol and transportation than what you used to spend.

If you can do that, then it means the government has been subsidising unnecessary consumption of petrol.

Many people will park their cars at home and use buses, bikes, and their legs instead.

Many people will apply for jobs closer to where they live, even if they pay a little bit less.

Many parents will choose schools closer to where they live or work, or boarding schools, for their kids.

Many working youths will pool their funds to rent flats closer to where they work.

Many people will stop driving from Lagos to Canaanland in Ota every Sunday for service.

Such behavioural changes will reduce overall fuel consumption and also decongest our roads, possibly increasing productivity because people will spend less time stuck in traffic.

What behavioural changes are you planning to make?" — Seun via Twitter.

I agree with Seun on the points raised in that submission. I already got a solar inverter. With this and my fuel-efficient generator, I've drastically cut down on my fuel consumption as a remote worker.

The 40 liters of petrol I bought on the inauguration day last week at the old price will last about 20 days.

E still dey do me one kind when I'll have to shell out 10k to get less than 20 liters of fuel. Na to continue to devise ways to reduce my fuel consumption drastically.

Getting another laptop might help.

I’m not saying any man should not find ways to survive , but we shouldn’t be surprised going forward if we watch videos of crime fighters and the criminals confess they went into robbery as a means of survival following the hardship that followed subsidy removal .

A001:

Yea, and that would most likely happen if PO was the president as well.

seankafor:
in all these, what behavioral changes are our politicians ready to make?

Or is it yet another avenue to increase their fat purses?

A001:

It's up to us, the masses, to put them on their toes and keep them accountable. That's if religion and tribalism would allow it.

Someone shared this with me

The behavioral stuff is complete bullshit and written by a child. In this very lagos people live in egbeda and work in vi. Are they going to find equivalent paying jobs in vi? They also picked those places to reduce their rent.

Pick a school close to your home. Unfortunately schools are not uniform in quality. There is actually a state school within walking distance from my house. A school to apprentice pipline.

As for parking your car at home, it comes down to efficiency. I went to pc village on Friday via danfo. The journey was three to four hours in total. It would have been maybe one and a half if I had driven.

These ideas may work in other cities though. All this talk about three working days in kwara. Transport in kwara has always been easy and cheap at least from a lag perspective

Itsrm:


I've been struggling with this for God knows how long. Depending on who you ask(and I'm talking about actual teachers here) there seems to be no consensus as to whether more tuition equals better quality.

Some say they all use the same syllabus and teach the same thing, others say the quality of teachers and attention to each pupil and detail is not the same.

Our parents went to state schools. By the time it was our turn a lot of the state schools had deteriorated. Same is now happening in federal schools. All of this creates foundational challenges down the line when your pikin is competing for jobs with people with stronger foundations.

You can remember when osho and elrufai decided to test public school teachers. It is even worse now because for a lot of schools it is literally drop outs who are being hired.

In theory you could send your pikin to a lower cadre school then engage a good teacher for remote learning.

izzou:


Those ones that have higher tuition are actually better.

Yes, it is the same syllabus, but the methodology is different

I have a cousin in an expensive private school, and his brother in King's college

Omoh! The difference is clear as the sun.

Theflint1:
The difference between them both, or the difference compared with kids not attending these sort of schools?

Itsrm:


Parent self is too far. I also went to a public school but public school is not even an option in Nigeria of today.

I was actually referring to the massive price difference between the private schools. You know how some charge as low as 30k per term and others 400k or even higher.

Some will tell you it's all packaging and they all teach the same thing. Others will say it's not.

izzou:


Both of them

And students from both schools.

I am not saying everybody in the private is brilliant, or everybody in public is dull..

But looking at their notes, classrooms and labs, curriculum, school environment etc, you will know the one that wants the child to learn, and the one that wants to just teach and collect salary

A001:

No, they don't teach the same thing. The quality and methodology of teaching differ from one school to the other, and it's expected that schools with higher tuitions provide better quality.

Most times, that's the case.

I can't imagine if I decide to teach Math and Physics in a secondary school and a school will be offering me less than 200k based on my years of experience.

The truth is quality education costs a lot of money. As a proprietor, if you seek graduates with first class, second-class upper, and MSc as teachers, you've got to be ready to pay well.

Theflint1:
Wow, and this na Kings College o😁

I mean even in the video, he clearly said when Sani Uba finish the first 4 years and go for another 4 years, then another one comes in after him before they know it, its 20yrs.

El Rufai already did 4yrs on a muslim muslim ticket
Sani Uba is doing his first 4yrs on a muslim muslim ticket, if he get reelected, that's 12yrs straight with a muslim - muslim ticket ruling Kaduna.

Just look at how they try to make it look as if El rufai was talking about the Presidential election.

Agenda ehn

izzou:


They have experienced teachers, no doubt

But learning environment matters.
