Rude, mannerless guys

DeLaRue:


But if the Nigerian government made that same statement, people like you would be up in arms and claim the Nigerian government is evil and authoritarian. Some would even demand that the military should take over.

Arise TV would run programs upon programs over at least 2 weeks bringing a long line of publicity-hungry 'experts' to denounce the government and proclaim we are under the most anti democratic government since 1872.

However, if a foreign government (especially if they have a lighter skin than you) makes such statement, you will praise that foreign government as you did in your statement.

Inferiority complex.

You forgot the self accredited metrics czars that would then populate the web with dubious statics listing top ten Nations in the world for Social Media Vlogers restrictions and placing Nigeria in first position. The page would then miraculously end up on Niraland where the usual suspects would then respond with "Nigeria is always top at bad things".

In Nigeria's position, a European nation would exploit something like this to deprive certain individuals citizenship. They would target those that badmouth thire Nation on social media, labeling them enemies of the state in secrete dossiers, while publicly placing obstacles in thire path to applying for passport.

They would supply those places where people go to apply for passport a list and photos of individuals that are to be denied passport at all costs after first frustrating them financially and bureaucratically.

BTW

I'm refering to "Nigerians" abroad.

EV Charging Stations Are Now Busy Enough to Make Money in the US
As electric car sales pick up in the US, the average utilization rate of many of the country’s fast-charging stations nearly doubled last year.

When it comes to electric vehicle charging in the US, the cars are finally catching up to the cords.
Last year, the average utilization of a US fast-charging station not operated by Tesla Inc. doubled — from 9% in January to 18% in December, according to new data from Stable Auto Corp., a San Francisco startup that helps companies place EV infrastructure. Put another way: By the end of 2023, every fast-charging cord in the country was plugged in for an average of nearly five hours a day.
“There’s been a noticeable increase,” said Brendan Jones, chief executive officer of Blink Charging Co., which operates about 5,600 charging stations in the US. “We’re heading into 9% and 10% market penetration [for EVs]. Even if we stay at 8%, we’re still not going to have enough charging.”
Rising usage isn’t just an indicator of EV uptake — Stable Auto estimates that a charging station must be pumping electrons around 15% of the time to turn a profit. In that sense, the surging utilization numbers represent scads of stations climbing into the black for the first time, said Stable CEO Rohan Puri.
It’s “a threshold that truly makes my spirits soar,” Cathy Zoi, former CEO of EVgo Inc., said on an earnings call in September. “We believe the go-forward picture on network profitability is stronger than ever.” EVgo operates about 1,000 stations in the US; in September, almost one-third of them were humming at least 20% of the time.
Average Utilization of US Fast Chargers
America's fast-charging stations for electric vehicles got twice as busy last year, as more than 1 million EVs hit the road for the first time.

EV charging has long been locked in a kind of chicken-and-egg standoff, particularly in the US, where vast swaths of interstate and a conservative approach to government subsidies have limited the pace of expansion. Charging networks struggled for years due to slow EV adoption, even as many drivers avoided EVs because of a dearth of charging options. That disconnect spurred the development of the National Electric Vehicle Formula Infrastructure program (NEVI), which is just starting to dole out $5 billion in federal funding to ensure a public, fast-charging station at least every 50 miles along the nation’s major travel corridors.
What on Earth?The Green Daily newsletter is your guide to the latest in climate news, zero-emission tech and green finance.But even with little of that money distributed to date, America’s electric ecosystem is starting to reach parity between cords and cars. US drivers welcomed almost 1,100 new public, fast-charging stations in the second half of last year, a 16% increase, according to a Bloomberg Green analysis of federal data. By the end of 2023, there were almost 8,000 places to quickly top up an EV (28% of them exclusive to Tesla). Put another way: The US now has one quick-turn EV station for every 16 or so gas stations.

“There’s a widespread belief in the industry that fast charging is not a profitable business,” Puri said. “But what we’re seeing is for many stations that no longer holds true.”
In a number of states, charger utilization rates are already well above the national average. Connecticut, Illinois and Nevada are among those states where fast-charging cords are now plugged in eight hours a day; at 26%, Illinois has the highest average rate of charger utilization in the country.

Critically, these stations grew far busier even as thousands of new fast-charging stations came online, meaning EV adoption is outpacing infrastructure gains. The increased uptime is more notable considering charging networks have long struggled to keep their equipment online and working properly.
There are diminishing returns, though. A charging station may not turn a profit until it’s in use about 15% of the time, but once utilization approaches 30%, the station is busy enough that drivers start to avoid it, according to Jones at Blink. “[When] you get to 30, you start worrying about whether you need another charger,” he said. “You start to get complaints.”
While the previous dearth of charging instilled a negative feedback loop on EV adoption, the opposite may be happening now. Charging networks, seeing their economics improve and in some cases backstopped by federal funding, will be emboldened to build more stations in more places. More charging stations, in turn, will tip more EV-curious drivers into battery-powered cars.
Stable Auto analyzes 75 different variables in determining whether a site would make a good home for a fast charger, chief among them how many other stations are nearby and how busy they are. Increasingly, its model is giving a green light. “Everyone should be seeing more attractive sites on our platform,” Rohan said.

Charging options will also increase this year as Tesla begins to open its network of Superchargers to vehicles made by other automakers. The company is responsible for slightly more than a quarter of all US fast-charging stations, though its sites tend to be larger, so roughly two-thirds of all cords in the US are geared for Tesla ports.

💥bloggers should not deceive Nigerians again

I like skyscrapers close to the road, looks tidy and somewhat futuristic. Imagine many along the road in neat line with landscaping trees, bushes and flower vines. I even fancy the idea of flyovers weaving between skyscrapers. The evolution of cars to EVs should resolve some of the noise issues .....

Govt needs to free that Brisky transgendered individual and revoke or fine-tune the law as related to the Niara and abuses of it thereof. Heshe was acquitted of money laundering. As things seem now, executing the law is untenable given the magnitude of incidents Nationally. This is since Nira or Fiat money spraying is so widespread in Nigeria and historic, the practice is virtually an iconic Nigeria tradition. Fine-tuning the Niara disfigurement law may mean mandating that spraying, while not ideal is acceptable but trampling on the Niara underfoot contravene law and may result in prosecution.

So, yeah, law should be amended to be flexible on spraying, limiting prosecution to trampling, tearing , burning, defacing, etc . This means when spraying ensure there are people supporting the individual being plastered with money, people whose task would be to collect the money so that money doesn't fall or and lay on the floor where guests unavoidably march them under feet.

Knowing Nigeria leaders and thire seeming interest in the wellbeing of the people of other African countries more than Nigerians, the ultimate interest in extending the blue rail to Ogun is Benin Republic not Ogun people. They should instead, extend the Blue rail towards Delta State....




See Buhari's trains for the people of Niger Republic and Delta warlords universities for the people of Benin Republic then there's the people of Northern Nigeria ready to fight against Nigeria if Tinabu send troops to Niger Republic, and bridges to Cameroon, and .....our oil stolen by Delta rebels and given away to all the nooks and cranny of West African nations all the way to Togo... And planned highways to ivory coast when Nigeria needs every ounce of highway and byways possible....

The Role of a Humanoid Robot
This latest iteration of the Atlas robot builds on a long history of innovation and R& pushing the limits of whole-body mobility and bimanual manipulation. From PETMAN testing protective clothing to the recently retired HD Atlas performing parkour, we have spent over a decade moving the state of the art forward with humanoid robotics.

Traditionally, we have focused on legged robots because we wanted to build robots that could balance and move dynamically—robots that could navigate unstructured, unknown, or antagonistic terrain with ease. The humanoid form factor is a useful design for robots working in a world designed for people.

However, that form factor doesn’t limit our vision of how a bipedal robot can move, what tools it needs to succeed, and how it can help people accomplish more. We designed the electric version of Atlas to be stronger, more dexterous, and more agile. Atlas may resemble a human form factor, but we are equipping the robot to move in the most efficient way possible to complete a task, rather than being constrained by a human range of motion. Atlas will move in ways that exceed human capabilities. Combining decades of practical experience with first principles thinking, we are confident in our ability to deliver a robot uniquely capable of tackling dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks in real applications.

Commercialization takes great engineering, but it also takes patience, imagination, and collaboration. Boston Dynamics has proven that we can deliver the full package with both industry-leading robotics and a complete ecosystem of software, services, and support to make robotics useful in the real world.

Hold your Governors accountable !!!!


Nigeria should go back to regions. We need to annex non-performing states and merge them to productive ones


While some Governors are busy sponsoring pilgrimage with no economic benefits, Lagos and Oyo has shown true leadership...

Ironically, indigens of non-productive states will be lecturing the productive ones on Good governance. Pls hold your leaders accountable!!

Out of curiosity, what position do you believe Ghana's regional capitals would place - in terms of infrastructure and economy - added to a list of Nigeria's state system capitals? Also how in-depthly or comprehensively has Ghana Regional system enabled Ghana to develop compared to Nigeria's state system?

Foreigners understand Nigeria more than Nigerians themselves expecially the Asians

They don't understand Nigerians natting, they understand criminality because they invented the worst type of criminality and wrote the manual script. In the West, and miscellaneous foreignclimship, this type of activity is called Protection Racket. Essentially, protection racket is a form of business whereby criminals demand you pay them not to attack you. Protection Racket was and probably still remains a major part of Mafia business.

Hope this, Protection Racket, does not initiate a trend.....

Just the following thought alone: "train from Nigeria to Niger Republic", is a crime. Costal road from Lagos to Calaba is at least pleasing. Let's hope fears of fraud prove unfounded.

People have already started complaining about the planned Tolling points that are intended for recouping project cost as well as investing in health and safety through maintenance.

PressMyButton:
The project will go on and Landmark would no longer have direct access to the beach.

But isn't direct beach access the entire point of a beach front resort ?

TUANKU:
Unacceptable. No justification for attacking her, she can be annoying and all but attacking her is taking it too far. I hope they find they wild animal and jail her (won't be surprised the attacker is a Nigerian lady)
Quick recovery Kora.
The Nigeria in me is asking how come she is still streaming after a knife and acid attack without panicking?

@ the bold, she is often in Nigeria that is full of Nigeria ladies, how many times has she been physically attacked by Nigeria ladies?

She was physically attacked in the UK, If the incident isn't staged. Perhaps there is something peculiar to the UK that would cause a Nigeria lady to physically attack her, if indeed the attacker was Nigerian. Perhaps UK is a nation that imbues jealousy in individuals.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of you shouting up and down that Nigeria happend to them, also criticised Nigeria when Lagos government sanctioned the demolition of buildings erected on water channel grounds. And shouted, let the poor breath!!, when various state governments demolish dangerous shanty dwellings.

Had the various state governments devised strict safety rules for the waterways, I bet many Nigerians on here shouting "Nigeria happened" would be first to condem the measures. They might make statements such as, 'did government first provide jobs or alternatives before clamping down on the livelihood of the poor?' and , ' how do these stupid leaders expect boat and canoe operators to buy lifejackets, when the dollar to Nigeria exchange rate is XYZ'

If government decided tomorrow to outlaw vehicles over ten years old as a measure against plunging over bridges and to outlaw ramshackle looking markets as a measure against fires, Nigerians would complain bitterly of elite abuse in the hope that America would hear.

A large percentage of us bare some responsibility in why Nigeria remains dangerously too free.

Mind you I like some of our freedoms but not overwhelming freedom.

True, but let's remember Hollywood has a history of actor deaths on set. Actually, a quick look just now indicated a long list of accidental Hollywood film stars deaths.

As many Nigerians have already pointed out we do need to develop our health and safety industry.

Most elderly men think they're always right every time.

Sallah slap

Foreigner's mentality spotted. Nigerians do not disrespect culture and the elderly! Perhaps they do so in Ivory Cost, Senegal Mali or Timbuktu. It's a pity onlookers didn't intervene and beat the crap out of that delinquent feral rat!

Emigration and border control is vital. Unfettered freedom of movement through borders gradually impacts on a nations morals and nationalistic ways.

Personally I'm all for no speed limits on certain roads in Nigeria. However while Lagos govt looks at limiting speeding on Lagos roads, they should also concern themselves with the safety of vehicles that pligh Lagos roads. When watching You Tube Videos on Lagos, especially those featuring the newly renovated bridge, too many vehicles look like deathtrap junks. I'm afraid many of the vehicles I've seen are so mechanically suspect they are quite capable of somersaulting or veering of the bridge and into the lagoon while traveling at 20 mph.

Lagos that is setting herself up as the standard model for all other states of the federation to emulate, should begin to limit the quality and age of vehicles allowed on her roads. The days of making allowances for the less financially able by, for instance, ignoring jalopies , should end. We need to move to the next level.

I'm a fan of this project and gladdened by the urgency until the later began intriguing me. I mean the Urgency. It occurred to me, drawing from my suspicions, that leaders of Nigeria always seem more concerned for the wellbeing of Africa than Nigerians. I began taking a closer interest and eventually it seemed as if those Oyibo people that control Africa from thire bases in organisation like the United Nations or and European Union dictated that Africa should construct a highway linking all Africa nations. And now I am wondering if the urgency of this Nigeria coastal highway project ( which has been sweeting me greatly) is really all about Nigeria completing our section of the trans Africa highway in fulfllment of obligation to our UN or European masters.

In short, if the highway is about Nigeria and Nigerians or if it is really all about Africa and Africans.

I never deliberately shop or patronise Indian owned businesses irsipective of how comparatively cost effective. In areas of UK where there are Nigerian or black owned businesses in competition, I patronise the Nigerians, Africans or Caribbean, often at higher prices.

If you are Nigerian get some sense and be deciplined. Begin to think long-term and collectively not just about your immediate gratification and personal gain. This is year 10/04/ 2024 - variously termed the Computer, Information, Quantum, Tech, Crypto or AI age. We have no excuse being ignorant of world history and our place in it as people of Africa heritage.We generally know why we are underdogs - 2 days ago I read that members of Nigeria's junior football team were denied visas to attend a tournament in Spain . Imagine the crass arrogance. Yet we bare some blame due to continually tolerating the rubbish dished to us by foreign scumbags because we generally own relatively less of the degeneracy valued by the world.

Nigerians should patronise Air Peace because it is Nigerian owned even setting aside knowledge of what the other airlines are up to financially and how, in living memory, they extorted Nigerians when they owned what we wanted and we had no other options.
