From your write-up, there are no specific things he did... You're just making broad statements...

Put his achievements in a "come-and-see" ( Ju o ese) pattern

Politics / Re: The Chinese Can Have Amosun Too - By Abimbola Adelakun by Yampotatocarrot(m): 12:22pm On Aug 22
Following threads on this issue, several personalities on Nairaland have also agreed to something like this... While some said all his assets should be confiscated and added to the money to pay the Chinese, others said Ogun state's monthly allowance should be used to pay until the settlement is complete

Without trying to sound condescending, I'm trying to imagine Amosun in a Chinese plantation and I can't stop laughing

I think PBAT should make an example out of Amosun and Ogun State... Else he'll set a precedence where a governor can even liaise with fraudulent Chinese and Lebanese firms to defraud the nation and convert our national assets to theirs

Crime / Re: Lagos State Task Force Carries Out Enforcement Action At Berger, Seizes Korope by Yampotatocarrot(m): 7:05pm On Aug 21
naptu2:
It's clearly stated and can be seen from the video and pictures that the buses illegally blocked the road and turned it into a bus stop.

Kudos to the Lagos State taskforce... It seems they're going from local government to local government... Their presence in the evening at Iyana-Ipaja underbridge has helped in easing traffic in that axis

However, I think government needs to go beyond this to also arrest the NURTW chairmen in those areas also... Na them dey collect security and load money from these buses... That is what gives them the effrontery to block one section of the road and turn it to garage

Once the chairmen know they'll be arrested and dealt with if such occurs in their territory, they'll be the ones ensuring things are in order...

Side note: Imo state government needs to come learn from Lagos State taskforce... The entire stretch of road from Mbaise park to St. Paul Na busstop and garage... You no go even see where to pass as a pedestrian

Family / Re: Men Of Ages 25 To 36 How Is Life Treating You Currently. by Yampotatocarrot(m): 11:47pm On Aug 19
Sapasenator:


I realized the slave-like resemblance of having to work 9-5 with only 3 weeks to a month vacation to travel so I started by creating a side hustle. I spent more than $10,000 to get certified in the side business so when I started making good money in the side hustle, I took a 4-months leave from work with pay to stabilize my business and now I have 2 registered companies with employees, my goal is to have more than 50 staffs in the next one year while I do nothing but business development and travelling.

I complained of depression and mental stress, got a psychologist counselling and letter to back me up to my employer so I got the 4 month off with pay. I have been working from home for the past 2 years though but I detest working for others except I am senior management with large yearly bonus. The whole process took about 5 years of preparation.


More than $10,000 just to get certified, and you call it a side hustle? Is it tech, please?

I agree.

At some point in my life, I decided to take myself out of the hustle and bustle of life, challenged the status quo and now have my own life.

If you don't mind me asking, how were you able to do such, please?

Science/Technology / Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by Yampotatocarrot(m): 6:56pm On Aug 18
occfx:


It does, it draws your units and store them in the battery for emergency. Therefore, when Nepa takes light, you will be using the units in advance. Without Solar panels, what you are actually doing is storing Nepa in batteries for emergency use at your own cost.

Please, to understand this more correctly, it's just like a power bank then

If I may, does it drain the units much?
Politics / Re: Seek Diplomatic Resolution In Ogun FTZ Dispute, Gbenga Daniel Urges Tinubu by Yampotatocarrot(m): 9:23am On Aug 18
FreeStuffsNG:
He emphasised that, as of his handover in 2011, around 56 companies were at various stages of operation, construction, or interest in the Free Trade Zone. These efforts have led to significant development in the previously rural Igbesa area.
But his successor government stated that only a fence was built on the site by the Chinese firm.

This his statement absolutely contradicts everything the Amosun-led Exco stated and as a matter of fact, Senator Amosun just called the Chinese firm impostors! So who is lying?

EFCC and DSS must quiz everyone involved including the firm and anyone who is established to have broken the law must be prosecuted like FG did in the P&ID criminal case. For now, everyone's assumed innocent.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

One of them is DEFINITELY lying, either Amosun or Gbenga

Tinubu shouldn't just investigate, he should prosecute whoever defaulted... And if it's the Chinese company as Amosun stated, he should deal with them in a way they'll never forget... Infact if they're the ones at fault, he should use it as leverage to hold other Chinese companies by the throat so that they won't try such again

Politics / Re: Court Ask EFCC To Prevent Beer Bottles Destruction, Says It's Economic Sabotage by Yampotatocarrot(m): 7:12am On Aug 18
I really don't understand the breaking of beer bottles part... Is it a state law forbidding the sales of alcoholic drink? Does that mean EVERY BODY in the state is a Muslim?

If it's your religion, then leave those that are not your religious members to drink what they want to drink na... That you don't eat meat does not mean you destroy all abattoirs

On the other hand, if it's a state rule forbidding the sales of alcohol in the state, then, as much as the state erred in creating such rules, until a higher court abolishes the rule, those destroying the alcoholic drinks are right, because they are backed by law

wirinet:

We should not be a member of OPEC in the first place. It's stupid logic to be exporting our crude when we produce only 1.2 million barrels per day, out of which we have only about 300,000 barrels at our disposal after setting financial obligations,and then importing over 1million barrels per day of crude from abroad with all the attendant higher costs to run our refineries including Dangote 650 000 barrels per day mega refinery.

USA produces 13 million barrels of crude per day, they are not a member of OPEC, Russia produces over 10 million barrels of crude per day, they are not member of OPEC, even Norway produces close to 2 million barrels per day, they are not exporting their crude. We that is barely producing 1 million barrels, 60% of which is our share, we pride ourselves as OPEC number.

Dogalmighty17:


In effect and assuming your calculations are correct, the edo refinery can barely fill two trucks of 60k litres capacity daily. They are a non player.

It's a modular refinery, so it's allowed... Imagine how many modular refineries will be set up in Edo State if this one strives... Picture Edo with 10 of such refineries, then you'll realise it can have an effect

Then, imagine people setting up such in other southsouth states... You don't need to build a dangote-sized refinery to make an impart, several of these refineries you call "non-players) will make a significant impact

Moblux:
One barrel of crude oil produces approximately 159 liters. From this, about 45% is converted into gasoline (PMS) and around 30% into diesel (AGO) .
Calculating for 1,000 barrels:
Total liters:
1,000 ×159
=159,000
1,000×159=159,000 liters
Gasoline (PMS):
159,000×0.45≈71,550
159,000×0.45≈71,550 liters per day

Diesel (AGO):
159,000×0.30≈47,700
159,000×0.30≈47,700 liters
Thus, from 1,000 barrels of crude oil, approximately 71,550 liters of PMS and 47,700 liters of AGO can be produced daily.

This alone will even reduce the price of petrol and diesel greatly in Edo State... I won't be surprised if transport companies start using Edo as their state for buying full tank, which will further develop the economy of the state and closeby local governments like Ore in Ondo state

I remember my years in Deeper life growing up.

We would go for a 4-day "retreat" as it was called.

The high point of every retreat was the free meals served twice daily and the chance to explore.

Nothing has really changed, just a cycle that has kept us backwards as a country.

Religion is fvcking beautiful Africa up.

If you travel to China, U.A.E or North America, you will see the difference in quality of life.

They don't do religion the way Africa does

We waste too much time of things that has never moved us forward as a people.

Christianity and Islam are not our original religion as a race and people.

Why dump your toy because you were told the other child's own is more beautiful? It's all about mindset and I can tell you for free, Africans do not have a mind of their own.

Think about slave trade. Why was Africa the only continent that sold their brothers?

Until we stop wasting precious time doing religion instead of working, we go no where as a people.

Make God sha help Africa

They still do and it's three meals per day, not two... Completely free... You eat at a spot, change location and eat again
Education / Re: Why I Appointed 50 Aides - UNICAL First Female SUG President by Yampotatocarrot(m): 5:55am On Aug 08
DrAda:
She had a valid reason. Besides all appointments were voluntary.

Catering to the needs and welfare of 42,000 students in 110 departments is no joke. I would have appointed more.

If you use this your calculation, that means 1 aide will be for 840 students

Let's bring it to Nigeria with a population of over 200million citizens. If we are conservative enough to say 200million, it means President Tinubu alone should have about 238,000 aides... Well, he can also say it's voluntary and no salary attached, lol

SmartPolician:
Like we say in Nigeria, government is a continuum. If Rochas Okorocha had built quality projects, Hope Uzodinma, regardless of how bad he is, would've focused on other areas.

Today, he's building things as basic as roads, including those Rochas Okorocha claimed he constructed. These are pictures of roads Hope Uzodinma completed recently.

The 2.7km Toronto/Ekemegbuoha road and the 8.4km Toronto/Orji road.

Problem is,how are we sure the roads he's constructing are solid ... So that the next governor doesn't start constructing roads again

As you said, if one governor could have constructed good roads, then the next would have focused on maybe improving the economy of the state, then the next education and health... Rather than repeating what the previous government did
