Politics / Re: Supreme Court Got It Wrong On LG Autonomy- Punch Editorial Board by JomoGbomo2(m): 5:36am On Jul 16 |
FreeStuffsNG: This Punch Editorial is the worst Political Job ever, since when did Journalists/editors start interpreting our constitution for us a Nation. It’s so obvious a governor or former governor is behind this Op-ed disguised as Constitutional interpretation by a group of journalists. This whole editorial is arguing for Federalism (which is not bad) instead of interpreting the constitution itself. The mere fact that the LG council men may divert the money for personal use and not pay teachers does not make the judgment wrong, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE GOVERNORS ARE CURRENTLY DOING. IMO, the Supreme Court should sue Punch editorial board for defamation 20 Likes 1 Share |

Sixfiguresmart: You are a liar…..your story is a lie. Simple. We are not talking about tribalism neither are we talking about environmental pollution here so don’t mix up issues, that’s what liars do when they are busted. You don’t just accuse someone or an entity and expect us to believe you hook line and sinker. This is not an attempt to hush any victim, victims should tell their stories in truth without maligning others. Learn to tell your story with Truth. |

Sixfiguresmart: I won’t go on an emotional rant/blackmail like you just did……….Also the title of your post read “Fired” by a gay boss”………….Anyways When you include half-details in a story, you will be challenged. When you put names of people/organizations/places you will be challenged because you maybe making an unintentional damage to the reputation of such name and you should be ready to defend it if called upon. Your story could be told without naming the company just like you didn’t name the supposed person that harassed you. This will in no way diminish your “truth” but when you include names then be ready to defend yourself. Like a stated earlier, your story is not 100% true and you know that in your mind. To all victims out there, learn to tell your story with the truth that it demands. I believe victims should share their stories but I also believe if supposed victim includes a name then such name has the right to defend their reputation. Do they have LGTBQ in chevron Nigeria? Hell yes….I know a couple myself but the likelihood of them harassing the OP the way he described is low due to the company open policies (which is known to them) and their training. So OP, provide more details by answering the questions or edit your story to remove the names 1 Like |

Sixfiguresmart: Your story is either pure lie or fiction and the least you can do is say the story with facts. 1. What Dept were you working for Chevron? 2. Apparently the way you sounded, you are not a blue badge, I doubt you are a green badge too. So tell me are you a community worker or someone just brought you ? 3. What location are you? Warri/Escravos/Lagos or which of the flow station or where? 4. Do you know chevron is one of the companies that supports LGBTQ and have an inclusive policy for them? So if you have an LGBTQ boss that’s a blue badge he definitely knows not to harass you 5 do you know chevron has an anonymous hotline to report every kind of workplace harassment anonymously? This number is placed in every facility and it goes straight to Houston or San Ramon? Why didn’t you use it? Like I said, your story is pure lie until you provide some facts based on above questions. 6 Likes |

Politics / The Stupidity Of The Endsars Protest by JomoGbomo2(m): 3:57pm On Oct 23, 2020 |
Beginning of October 2020 heralded the #endsars protest in Lagos, a clamor that has been on since 2017 due to the brutality of the police force on the Nigerian youths. The cause of this protest is very real and valid, while I may not have personally experienced it, I have witnessed so much brutality on the youth that sometimes I have to intervene. The likes of Falz, Debo Macaroni and Aisha Yesufu amongst others spearheaded this round of protest and with the negative sentiments around the nation, they got the masses support including that of myself......and personally I still believe the cause is valid. Saying the protest was peaceful is just trying to be politically correct; the protest was never peaceful but the protesters were unarmed; you cannot say the protest is peaceful when the protesters are denying you your rights to enter your home. You don’t protest a grievance by denying other people their rights and claim you are peaceful, that’s not peaceful. We all saw what the protesters did to other citizens (right) while they were going about their normal lives. Between the 4th and 14th October, the FG repeatedly announced the disbandment of the notorious police unit SARS in different forms along with banning the police from checking phones and laptops of the youth. The FG largely accepted and acknowledged the 5 demands of the protesters and call for dialogues but the likes of Falz, Debo Macaroni and Aisha Yesufu insisted that they wanted a miracle.....Aisha specifically said she doesn’t belong to the table but on the street, I hope she is still on the street till now. The stupidity of the protests was glaring at this point because it was clear that the protesters never had a realistic end game plan, they don’t know what the end should be. They kept on insisting for the government to EndSARS that already was disbanded. This was the lost opportunity for the fools above to sit with the FG and chart a direction towards a lasting solution to this monster.....alas their naivety and stupidity was brought to the fore. 20th October 2020, the demons we (40yrs and above) have always known Nigeria to be came out, the military in the command of our lifeless president Buhari unleashed terror on the unarmed protesters and the escalation is what we all witnessed; but the aftermath is what we will all live with. I took a drive this morning along the lekki axis and saw the damages first hand and the first question was “does it really worth it?”. The many lives (both protesters and security personnel) lost, the many livelihoods lost and looted, buildings burnt, cars and properties damaged, does it really worth it? If those fools above had sat down with the FG on the 15th of October after most of their demands have met, would all these have been prevented? the numerous jobs that are lost due to this carnage would that have been prevented.? the irony is that they will be happy to sit down now with the FG to discuss, something they would have accepted long ago to prevent all this. Falz, Debo Macaroni and Aisha Yesufu et al, need to sit back and ask themselves if this is the outcome they were hoping for; they need to tell us if their plans include having “freed” criminals loose on the street possibly with stolen guns from the police. We always need to understand that Nigeria is unique and different, the solutions to our problems must be unique and different too; we cannot just hope/expect the outcomes of protest in other developed countries to be same in ours; it’s not possible because we have our own peculiarities which must be factored in our own quest for betterment. Once again, I hope those fools above are happy with their outcome. 8 Likes 2 Shares |
Islam for Muslims / Re: What Is That Quranic Verse That Gets To You Everytime? by JomoGbomo2(m): 12:13pm On Sep 11, 2020 |
Quran 57 vs 20 (Suratul-Hadid): This verse summarizes everything we know about this life: *****Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion**** Quran 53 Vs 42 -55 (Suratul Najm); These Verses will make you cry as it describes the mightiness of God. وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ الْمُنتَهَى53:42 (And that to your Lord is the finality) وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَىٰ - 53:43 (And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weep) وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحْيَا - 53:44 (And that it is He who causes death and gives life) مِن نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا تُمْنَىٰ - 53:46 (From a sperm-drop when it is emitted) وَأَنَّ عَلَيْهِ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُخْرَىٰ - 53:47 (And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation) وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَغْنَىٰ وَأَقْنَىٰ - 53:48 (And that it is He who enriches and suffices) Conti..... to Vs 55 Then finally for me: Quran 25 Vs 61 downwards (Suratul Furqan): These are beautiful verses that tells how great Allah is and defines how a believer should behave; If you read these verses and you don't feel it then your faith is really low. May Allah continue to guide us and increase us in Imaan. 2 Likes |
Politics / Re: ‘so President Buhari Is Now Bigger Than Allah’ - Nigerians React by JomoGbomo2(m): 7:37am On Jun 06, 2020 |
In Islam, you can pray Standing, sitting or even while lying down. If you have a medical condition why you can’t assume any of the position in the way the Muslims pray, you can choose any comfortable position you want including sitting on a chair. You can also lie down if that’s what is comfortable for you. This is particularly common amongst older people but younger people can also do same. So what Buhari did up there is normal nothing exceptional in islam. |

Business / Re: How Do I Raise Fund For My New Business? by JomoGbomo2(m): 4:59pm On Nov 07, 2019 |
obillyj: TG, You are not asking the right question here, at least not now. You do not raise fund from just an idea stage; you raise fund after starting out and proving the concept in the market. Other than family and friends, nobody will give you money for an idea in your head so i will suggest the following for you. 1. Start the business idea in your head, bring it to fruition first. 2. Prove and show that the idea is sellable and scalable. Be ready to show data/results over a period of time. 3. Come up with your expansion plan showing your growth plans, how much you need and prospective profits that may come out of it. If you are creating a good value with your idea, people will come around you to invest. Do not also go around with the notion that the first person you pitch to will fund your business, No sometimes it might be the number 100th person so keep doing the business while seeking for funding. To put this in perspective Jeff Bezo's was turned down more than 60 times before getting funding for Amazon despite the fact internet boom was already on, so count the number of times you have been turned down, if it's not up to 60 keep asking. Steve Jobs was turned down more than that so who are you? That should always be your motivation. Finally, keep believing in your dream and vision and one day, you will meet someone that shares same vision and the person will buy into it. PS: You are free to share your idea here though but go and start it first. 4 Likes 1 Share |

contumely2: Good for you to appreciate where you are coming from in terms of paucity of funds and even better that you do not want to return to that state; trust me, I know what you are talking about and i will give you some suggestions or advice to hold on to. 1. Always remember that it is possible to go back to that state of lack of fund you grew up and use this thought as a motivation never to return to such. 2. PAY YOURSELF FIRST: I don't know how much you earn per month/week but whatever it is; pay yourself first. If you earn 100k /month, before anything, remove 50% and save in an investment account (start with this option: STANBIC Money market can help you here) and build up capital there for future business/investment. Now you might ask yourself can 50% of my money take me till the end of the month? my answer to that is "you never had that money before and you survived till now", trust me it will take you. This money is yours for growth alone. When I was growing like you i was saving 90% of my income until i became very comfortable. I still do ~70% till date and I earn big. I can boldly tell you I own couple of companies now in Lagos and still have over 100M cash in account for someone that started with #0 just about 10years ago. 3. Separate emotions from reality and opinions from fact; this is what people around you will use to get money from you. They will say things like if you do not help them they will die. It is a lie!!!. If you are not alive will they die? Learn to separate reality from peoples opinion or emotions especially about your money. 4. Give yourself financial yearly target and try to hit it through savings/investment/business, e.g tell yourself you want 10M in your account by end of the year and do everything to achieve it; you will be amazed how much you will get. Extend this target to your businesses and everything financial around you. 5. Get a financial mentor; someone you want to be like and try to learn from him/her. You may not have one close to you so just get someone you can get books on and read about how the person made his money and try to replicate it. 6. Start reading books on financial and money matters and how to grow them. it will really help you. start with "The Richest Man in Babylon", try and read it more than once. Then start practicing what is inside you will be amazed. 7. Never try to run a business by proxy; not at this stage, you will loose the money. Do businesses that you can be part of. As you grow you will know when to run by proxy. So if any family member tells you to give him/her money to run a business and you will get returns, do not do that. 8. Always go to financial seminars/workshop or just watch them on youtube if they are expensive for you. The idea here is to stay close to people who want same thing as you and work for it like you do. If you have to change friends to do this, never blink an eye. I hope with this God willing you should never go back to where you came from. Enjoy the financial growth journey my friend. 25 Likes 4 Shares |

Tolexander: You guys are horrible and hypocrites; what concerns the Quran/Muslims with this issue? Are the editors Muslims? Is the News Outlet own by Muslims? If you want to react, react the way you want do not drag the Muslims or Quran into this; it is none of our business. When a Christian does something horrific, you all rally behind your religion and separate his/her actions from your faith; and sincerely the Muslims care less because we understand. But when a Muslim does same horrific thing you spin your media and find a way to attach the action to the religion just to tarnish the religion to the best of your capacity. And when it is a Christian on Christianity attack like this case, instead of you guys to deal with it as you wish, you all will still find a way to bring Muslims into it.......What is the problem with you guys? I wonder if this COZA issue was a high profile (known Imam); I can only imagine what you all will be saying about the Religion instead of the action of the individual. Don't you see how you all separated his action from the church? Leave the Muslims/ISLAM out of this PLEASE 9 Likes 1 Share |

Politics / The Problem With WE The Southerners by JomoGbomo2(m): 10:05am On Mar 07, 2019 |
This thread is created to bring to bare one of the issues we have in this Country and how the Southerners have continued to make the Northerners look bad even though they are basically the same set of people; the only difference is that one set have access to the media and uses it to the disadvantage of the other. Now compare the responses to these two similar posts yourself: https://www.nairaland.com/5064314/teenage-boy-stabs-football-coach https://www.nairaland.com/5063727/obituary-lady-stabbed-death-during Now both posts show how knife crimes resulted in death of two lives (No motive is considered here). Now see how the southerners have successfully castigated the Northerners (their region and religion) for similar crime. Now this type of response cuts across religious lines too; The southerners find it difficult to separate the Northerners from their religion while for the same crime committed by a southerner (in fact sometimes by a clergy man), they will gladly tell you its a fake pastor and separate the man from the religion but never cuts the Northerners some slacks. The main aim of this post is for us to know that we can't keep doing this and expect us to move forward as a group of people; we need to start being open, receptive and truthful towards our brothers/sisters up North. If you have observed this same trend, please go ahead and share. PS: Southerners here are majorly SE & SS; Some SW also fall in this category 1 Like 1 Share |

That is TRUE. Although Sowore attended UNILAG and was even the student union president at a time; he had issues with the authorities that led them to rusticate him from the school. He tried resolving these issues back then (Gani Fawehinmi chamber was involved ) but I guess it was unsuccessful.

oneluv11: Let me share my experience with you, maybe it will help. I had persistent cough for over 3 months and took all the syrup and drugs I know, after a couple of hours of relief, the cough will come back. All my doctors keep saying it’s allergy so I stopped taking drugs and start checking my lifestyle. I identified everything I started doing just around the time the cough started; I moved house, just came back from a journey with clothes, perfume, toothpaste and brush, and a whole lot of other things. So I started knocking them off one after the other, fumigating the new house all over, changing bedsheets, clothes and other house hold items, the painful one is the perfume collections I gave out.....last last, the problem was the toothbrush, charcoal infused tooth-fu*king-brush, after about six months of coughing, it was a sad experience for me. I threw all of them away, including the toothpaste. I will suggest you look at the changes in your lifestyle when it started and start from there. 1 Like |
