OP- I can bet my July salary, their issue has to do with either Power, Money or Women in the church .. if you dig deeper you’ll understand..

In this age and era, it beats my imagination that people are yet to realize that church is an enterprise and religion as whole is a tool for control and dominance …

As in eh. Its baffling how people are unable to realize it

"you need balls of steel to put on your AC overnight or leave your refrigerator on for 24hrs" If you have constant electricity, it may be false economy to switch off your refrigerator for short periods of time to save energy. It's better to leave it on and let it run per designed efficiency since it can take a fridge almost 12 hours to cool down to set temperature once it has warmed up. Curbing excessive opening of the fridge is a better energy saving strategy, but if you have kids in the house, may be almost impossible to achieve undecided

Lol. I guessed you missed her point.

Those estates are supplied by IPPs.

Get this straight, no money is saved from subsidy. It was been funded with loans.

Exactly. Even without subsidy. Our budget will still be in a deficit.

So most of the savings from subsidy removal will go into servicing old loans and also reduce the amount of new loans we would have to get to fund the budget .. Going forward.

The common man won't get any benefits.

Career / Re: How The Nigerian Banking System Is Killing Employee Loyalty. by rukyboy(m): 2:24pm On Jun 22, 2023
43Ronin:
@ OP while I commend your write up, I must debunk some of what you said cos its very untrue. E.g When I was in the banking industry, I personally spent 3 years on a grade before getting promoted and I was considered to be a superstar as this was slightly faster than the industry average. Meanwhile, my friends at the Big4 got promoted three times during the same period. OP the embolden is a huge untruth. The Big4 are the least to promote talkless of 3 times promotion in 3 years(huge fantasy. Lol). My big bro started working in GTB(a big 4) at 2011. By 2013, he ported to another big 4(Access) where he got promoted to ABO. he spent 6 years there and got to SBO. Now after spending 1 year as SBO and managing to get a B appraisal that financial year, He ported to Stanbic where he got AM. He was about porting to sterling as DM/M before we advised him as his family to come join us where we were since he's papers were finally out. The whole process from ET to AM took him 11 years. His friends who remained loyal to that Big 4 just recently(in fact last month May) got promoted to BO. Some of them as still ABO after 11 years in a big 4. My advice to every young banker is to port with brain. If you are employed in the big 4 make sure your first and second porting are within that corridor. Do not stay more than 4 years at most in a bank on the same level. cos if you do, the industry regards you as redundant. Believe me you don't wana port from GTB to wema as an ET-ABO its career suicide. Most of those big 4 banks have their M's & SM earning up to 30M per annum(when u calculate salary, entitlement and PS) some of those big 4 even give their A/D/GMs personal jeeps with security, abroad trips for their family 2ice a year, official housing etc. And them they fraustrate the younger ones from climbing the ladder. Make the most of your time as a banker. Get promotion or get yourself in a juicy department like GRM/Admin. Don't ever slave for free.
Regards grin

When he mentioned "big 4"

I think he meant KPMG,EY,Delloite and the other one

I have never seen that situation that will ever make me deny my mom, when I was in the university, i always use my free time when school is not on session to assist my mom in her restaurant shop, which was not very far from my school, I will always go to the shop to eat after lectures and I will spend few hours helping her even though she has like 3 people she employed that are assisting her. And most all of my course comes to eat in my mums restaurants daily.

When I got to 200 level, I would always take my ejebuter babe to go eat at my moms restaurant and after everything I will spend quality time wash plates and run few errands for mummy before leaving to my house, it got to a point, my babe would ask me to relax and she will be the one helping out. I never see that thing way go make me deny my parents.

God forbid. Even if Nah charcoal my mum is selling, I will confidently roll in the charcoal dirt with her, anyone who isn't comfortable with my parents aint worth being my friend.


Nice babe. Hope you married her

dalaman:


Dangote refinery is in the same league with these fraudulent companies in reality. Let me explain. We are now in an enegry transition era, refineries are now low profit margin businesses. Infact White people don't build refineries anymore, and the few ones they built in the past 10 years are all not more than 250bpd. Check out all the refineries world wide and see their profit margin despite high crude oil prices. Dangote went and built a 650bpd single train refinery knowing very well that refineries don't make any serious profits anymore, he sent the liar and scammer Godwin Emifiele to lie that the refinery has started paying its debts. Which is an outright lie and a fraudulent claim.

Once the refinery starts operating, he will Issue and IPO and people will run to go and buy the shares, that will increase his personal wealth to over $50 billion. The refinery will no longer be based on the profit or loss it brings but based on the shares that are traded. Its a ponzi, but a legitimate one because we live in a world where might is right.

Dangote is scamming Nigerians through Federal Government.



Dangote refinery is not even 70% ready, he hurriedly deceived Buhari to commission it to get more FOREX at CBN rate which is how Aliko Dangote and others like him have been making money off Nigerians.



Dangote will set up big company like oil refinery, cement plant, etc in the guise of helping to grow Nigeria's economy while shortchanging his Nigerian staffs who always resign and move to better firms, and then he hires plenty expatriates and quote high salaries in USD for these idle expatriates he uses as conduit to get dollar from CBN at CBN official rate which he goes to sell at black market rate to make billions.



Dangote Refinery isn't starting PMS refining anytime soon until around 2025 because even the cracker he hurriedly told Indians and Chinese to test run failed.



Are you dumb Nigerians not aware that Dangote applied for Petrol importation license last year and have gotten it? Why is someone building Petrol refinery still applying for PMS importation license and built massive tank farms at Ibeju Lekki?



We know their secrets and that is why they hate us for always exposing and daring them.




Dangote is deceiving you all while FG helps him to make billions off Nigerian people's sufferings and tears. Una eyes go soon clear


The tank farms could be for crude oil.storage or storage of his own refined petroleum before shipment.

Keep quiet madam! You were a reverred journalist who became a rubbish government a*s licker
Two people I adored and reverred so much that I can't bring myself to understand how terrible and useless power and money have made them become are Abike Dabiri and Femi Adesina; these were people I would do anything so as not miss either their column or tv programme, I would save till Sunday to buy Sunday Sun to read Adesina's column then while nothing would make me miss Newsline on Sundays hosted by Abike Dabiri. But, see what the two have become- shame of the profession they were once loved for and cherished for.

Femi Adesina's case really surprised me a lot.

Revered journalist back in the day turned govt propagandist today.

Its sad to see how the mighty have fallen.

I see Babajide Kolade Otitoju of TVC following this path too very soon.

ojasweb:
After the plastering, i proceeded with the POP work, both the arc, pillars and the white POP.

I bought 40 bags of POP cement. Each bag is 5,500 Naira.

20KG fillers.

Workmanship is per square meters. So total cost of white POP plus the TV stand was 170,000 Naira

For the arc and pillars,

I bought 5 bags of cement and the workmanship was 30,000 Naira.

Each bag of cement was 3,700 Naira.

POP is 10k per bag now.

The inflation in this country is crazy.

Your house would cost at least 40% more if you build it today.

Travel / Re: The Hype Of These Abroad People Is Making Some Of Us Feel Less Achieved by rukyboy(m): 7:56am On Mar 10, 2023
Kingofmykingdom:
I made a comment here that I gross $988k this 2022 and gross $750+k 2021 and have only been in the United States 3 years going to 4 years by June, someone said I’m lying and some other said no true. Now let me explain in details.

Firstly majority Nigerians in the US are not much exposed to living abroad, how things work in the United States, and many Nigerians, USA is their first travel experience/ destination.

What most Nigerians do when they travel to the United States is to get education and become either a Nurse, Doctor or Engineer, Work in the DC ( Distribution center or fulfillment centers) aka warehouse, housekeepers, some are Uber drivers and that’s all, which to me is not bad and maybe that’s what works for them and pays their bill.

You make money in healthcare especially RN if you’re ready to work overtime not only in Healthcare but in any other sector, you must work overtime to make more and remember the more money you make the change in your tax bracket, meaning you’ll be paying back to Uncle Sam ( IRS).

While Nigerians are working others are making it big doing business like the Russians, Indians, Chinese, Mexicans and Europeans but Africans are just working with no life.

US is designed in a way that you work and work then govt will take it back through health, that’s why Healthcare is expensive in US because you must surely end up in the hospital with either back injury, cancer or another sickness.

I live in Buckhead, Atlanta GA and to be honest most Nigerians are scared to try out new things and scared of challenges while the Russians, Indians and Chinese are taking the risk to become millionaires.

Russians and E. Europe controls the trucking industry in Mid-West, Indians owns 90% of all the gas stations in the US, Chinese are into importation, real estate flipping and food, Mexicans are into construction, trucking, restaurants, White own 90% of Trucking business in the US and are the major players.

Now to my story, I came to the US with $12300 after my tickets and others, I went straight to a boot camp with GTech and after graduation I got a job with Microsoft Atlantic Station as Data Analyst competing with Indians, after working for 7 months I upgraded my certificate to cloud engineering, then left the Microsoft to work for Walmart HQ in Arkanas as a System Admin, then Networking Engineer then Snr Cloud Engineer, I was earning roughly $110/hr working 40hrs/wk , which I was able to save and form my company ( s-corp).

I bought a 26ft box truck after I left my job to start a trucking company with hope, which after I got a loan from a community bank and added another truck, making it 2, I was driving one of the truck and have a driver in the other one paying him 25% after fuel deductions and both were doing OTR, hauling for Amazon and booking loads off Loadboards, I made in my first year almost $210k gross.

I enrolled for 3 weeks to earn my CDL A, which I saved enough from the box truck and bought a semi doing hook and drop for Amazon and booking off from other brokers I built up a relationship with during the Covid as rate was skyrocketing to even$10/mile and I was covering 4000 miles a week.

I made enough money from the Semi and 2 box truck, which I later sold off the box truck and venture fully into Semi. I approached 4 banks and luckily I was approved. I got firstly 3 semi and 3 trailers then got my Hazmat, Tanker, Twic, TSA endorsements.

I paid off my loans quickly and applied for another business loan with a business deal/plan to banks, I have BOA, Chase, Delta approved my loan/ financing with 3.5% interest rate and I was able to purchase more trucks ( semi and trailers ).

Today I have a fleet ( 12 Tractors with trailers), I have 4 53ft Refeer Trailers, 4 53ft Dry Van, 3 48ft Flatbed, I step deck. I am into LTL, FTL, Dedicated, Long Haul ( Coast -Coast) Hazmat,

I have a dedicated lane FL - Oregon ( Reefer ) 3 times in a week and each trip pays $65,600 3 times in a week

I have a dedicated hazmat lane from NY - CA 2 times in a week ( $88 ,000 a week )

My 3 flat bed makes almost $52000 each every week and my step deck makes almost $30,000 weekly

I have 14 employees, 12 drivers and 1 broker/dispatcher that dispatch my trucks.

I know my overhead expenses are high but as S-Corp, I pay myself $10k weekly as the ceo and works only 4 hrs daily and mostly from home.

Wow bro!

You are living the American Dream!!
