I understand you better. But my problem is still how they do it. If the materials are all sourced from a particular place and the price in that particular place increases logically they all have to increase the price. Except they are still using the materials the got before the dollar but unlike some prefer not to raise the price yet.

sure there was a price increase, it used to sell 60 naira at factories and 80 naira per bag at retail outlets, but now ten naira have been added to it. other things you should bear in mind is that the southern man is soo money conscious and would love to make excess profits even at the detriment of others.

2. the cost of doing business is more expensive in the south than in the north e.g excessive taxation from states and L.Gs , its more expensive to pay workers in the south than in the north, here local businesses Dodge taxes wells no be small

Reyginus:
I'm in Suleja and it's ten naira here. Twenty naira is for three bags. Where then do the companies in Bida get their materials from?

Its still a fact that suleja is quite expensive and have a higher cost of living, probably due to its close proximity to Abuja. Most times prices of items placed in some cities are not actually because of the cost of the raw materials but includes both the cost of labour and the standard of living.

Lemme give u a personal example; the apartment I stay that is a parlour and a one room apartment goes for seventy k annually, this is an apartment that is well tiled and have a running water and quite spacious. In suleja am sure it would be difficult to get that price. Besides am sure in some areas in Abj this my same apartment would sell for 300 to 400 k annually, same size same structure.

These are reasons why sachet water and other commodities are expensive down south than north not just about materials. besides in some settings (e.g bida) sell at ten naira, the locals would abandon the water for you and drink borehole water

Wrong! Spent about 4m on a computer laboratory in my time. I did not spend a Kobo from my pocket.

@OP & other CDS intending corps members, don't waste your time going around begginf for money, they won't give you.

Here is what I did.

1. Spent the 1st 3 months learning their language.

2. Attended most of their festivals fully kitted including those labelled "fetish" by religious people. Learnt how to greet the chiefs and present introductory speech.

3. When I realised am getting popular. I went for the jogular. I sold the idea to few villagers friend and ask them to accompany me to see the chief.

4. On getting there, introduced myself well in their tradition to the amazement of everyone seated.

5. Spent the next 15mins on the danges of lack of proper education and need for computers to fasten the learning curve.

6. Went ahead to promise I will build them a computer lab if they are ready to see my plan.

7. Revealed the plan by telling them by asking them a question.

"Do you know that with just N5m, we can achieve the best computer lab in this LGA?

"Do you know that there are illustrious sons/daughters in this community that spend that monthly on just diesel?...lol

"Do you know that just 5 of them bringing 1m each will make this project a history?

I told them I have a written proposal for such people and they should give 50 names of such.

Right there, we arranged for a community meeting the next week. I went there to present my project with projector and powerpoint. Some of them have not seen a laptop (lol) let alone projector. They were dazed.

We set up an "education committee" at the end. This committe comprising of some of the elders followed me door-to-door to "beg" for the said money. Just one person dropped 2m. If I was the treasurer to the donation account, I would have some millions.

We completed the project and it was named 1st of its kind in the LGA that the commissioner of education came to launch it.

Nothing just happens, I don't believe in luck, I believe that for everything successful must have had a careful stratigized planning. kudos bros

Reyginus:
Niger 70 naira? Please stop typing what you are not sure of. It's 150 and 120here. How did you even come about these figures?

Dude what part of Niger are you, cos I stay in Bida and the price of pure water from the factories is 70 naira and maybe resellers sell for 90 naira or so. The unit price still remains 5 naira for now though some retailers are kinda trying to sell at ten box

that is why they are called Nigerian artists, they make music for the Nigerian industry, what we want is what they give. OP you know where you can get ur RnBs and raggaes and cool songs from.

Your kind of advice can run someone down. Please release your album soon, so that we can access you

Holamidhe:
Hmmm, i take that as a joke

chairman abeg it is ooo, don't come for my head

Holamidhe:
I have nothing to comment cos we don't know her in Osun State

how would u know her with the revenue shortfall in osun ...lol

Nigerian politicians and high figure quoting, ask this dude which twmplate he used in getting this figure. he can't give you. ask him how many formal jobs would be created he can't give self.

Nigerians are the big losers cos we never hold our leaders responsible for their actions or inactions

Snipes009:
Stfu...You still whining....lol

hahaha am going to shut the f.uc.k up bro cos I pray this dude succeeds, cos if he does, Nigeria succeeds by extension me and you succeeds bro.

No matter how much we earn or be millionaires and live under this current economic climate, Mehn bros we ain't safe bro

Snipes009:
Stop whining. Nobody forced him down your throat.

Yes it was idiots like you, gullible fellows like you that foisted him on innocent Nigerians, people who were so gullible that they couldn't see through their nose, people who believe in propaganda and hate to be told the facts.
When this man promised a social package of 5000 to 25 million poor Nigerians, did you for once sit down and think about the lies there(125 billion to be spent monthly on giving handouts) which is another avenue for ripping off Nigeria since there is no comprehensive database in Nigeria.

You believed him when he said he is going to stabilize oil price, who does that, even OPEC has found it difficult to stabilize oil price in recent years not to talk of the dulladino from daura.

when he said he is going to make one naira equal to one dollar, did gullible souls like you sit down and ask yourself what mechanisms is he gonna use to make that possible, no instead of that, you and your folks sheepishly believed him and no wonder our naira is going to the gutters since very soon it would reach one 1 dollar to 1000 naira bench mark.

Complete disobedience to court, lemme not talk much on that cos it is so glaring, the shittes leader who was arrested sometime last year for civil disobedience should have been released or charged to court. that is an infringement on his fundamental human rights and should be discouraged.

Buh am not a hater and as such would give the administration a plus on the issue of selection corruption crusade he ia carrying out, the whooping sums of money embezzled by the past administration is mind boggling, but more boggling is the fact that what we see more are media trials where the scumbags are already tried in the news before they are even charged to the court ( which sane country does that). Not even one of them have been sent to jail, no they have not.

Bros I just pray you accept your wrongs if you had voted this administration cos this administration is worse that Jonathan's cluelessness , at least Jonathan had. an economic blueprint, Buh what blueprint does this man have ?

this man is plain hilarious, can't he for once delegate some of this summits and conferences to someone else even if Na his deputy instead of moving from one spot to the other.

No economic blueprint, the economy is in shambles and what this man knows is to travel about wasting the same forex that they said is not available. I blame the gullible idiots that foisted this man on us, Please can someone remind this man that one of his campaign promises is making one dollar equals one naira.

We Nigerians are on a long ride. I continue to say that the current finance minister is overwhelmed with her work. Buhari should have looked for seasoned technocrats to handle this economy.

my crush is looking so cute
Plz check my profile for imported Men's Loafers

buy naija to grow naira, just kidding don't come for ma head

Pls I am an airtel user and love the quality of their network and their tarriffs in my location.

Recently I don't know how I got subscribed to tanko by airtel that deducts my ten naira every now and then. the worse is that the deductions are random with no specific time in the day that they deduct the money, sometimes up to 5 or 6 times in a day. I have called their customer care severally and their response have been appalling, they keep making excuses of looking up the issue while the issue continues.(Airtel has the worse customer care unit among mtn, etisalat and glo)

Please assist me please, I can't discard this line now, I have a lot of folks who have this line.

Please MODS if getting this to frontpage would help me getting solution fast, I would be grateful.

PLEASE HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE TANKO ON AIRTEL

this story is vague and inaccurate, I stay in bida and the storyline is that the brothers actually went for money rituals instead of the bullet proof charm being propagated by vanguard.

The herbalist killed them, buried their corpse and even confiscated their car, repainted it and used it for personal use. One of the brothers in question works at the FMC at bida and it was pure greed that pushed em into money rituals.

For your information, for those believing that they did the bullet proof thing for protection, bida is among one of the safest places in Nigeria cos it is crime free, never heard or seen armed robbers in ma three years here.

Buh the town is wack socio economically, no fun nothing nothing

Acidosis:
The people who sell these lotions and cream do not call it bleaching cream. We Nigerians are fond of calling every form of skin reaction "bleaching."

Someone mentioned funbact-A, I don't know whether there are two kinds of funbact-A, but the one I know is anti-eczema, and other skin stuffs.

That's how some Nigerians call La casera 'bleaching drink' and that it can burn one's intestine.

I've also heard people saying Coke and 'TEEM' soft drinks are meant for fat people who want to get slim.

Someone even said Coke is a stain removal thus it can burn the stomach.


Illiteracy/poor regulation is killing this country. People just throw all forms of irrational ideology at the people. Ask them whether they have scientifically tested any of these hypotheses. The answer is NO, why? A typical Nigerian will invest more on rumour than research.

If Funbact-A, an anti eczema cream, meant to clear reactions, end up bleaching your skin, why don't you report to NAFDAC?

Does it mean we know more than over 500 Pharmacists and other health professionals in NAFDAC?

honestly tell em ooo, Nigerians we sabi peddle rumours no be small.

Buh a lighter note I completely agree with the OP, all the points raised were spot on. The issue of bleaching is problematic in our society, Buh the issue of bringing kids into an already bloated case is where I dont find funny. Except in a few exception the majority of people patronizing children bleaching are still the high class in the society, making me wonder where is the exposure and education this people claim to have.

rich/wealth is a relative word, depends on how you look at it but the truth is that if you really wanna be fuc.king rich then you must be an entrepreneur.

No matter how much you earn in salaries, the chances of making mega box would always be limited except if you are a good investor and have a good saving culture. Besides you are bound and limited cos you are always answerable to a higher authority who bosses you around.

Buh e no easy to be an entrprenuer, Ah swear cos in this "change economy" of ours , nobody wants to leave a secured job to taste the waters of entrprenuership.

Jay help us

LeksideOLM:
I heard this from a very rich man...

He said" your salary can never make you rich, it can only sustain you.is only what you invest with your salary that will be be left for you"...

You cannot be earning 500k per month nd be living a 50k salary earner lifestyle...
Or will a 500k earner will still be sitting on the street canteen to eat? Or neglect the latest designer in town? Never....

The more you earn or have, the more you spend...

#Myopinion#
The more you

fuc.king dope, spot on bro

its not a car battery, its a LifePo4 rechargeable battery

Dude I have that kinda of battery that I got from INEC back in the days used for elections, tho the circuit is dead but the battery very much alive, how do I roll with it to do that kind of connection

adewasco2k:
with my 48ah battery + DC distribution box + 1000w/Dc12V to AC220V with a USB 5V i have my self covered for almost the whole day on my laptop + TV + DSTV

This was my greatest discovery in 2015.

You mean 48ah battery, that should be a car battery or something right ?

that's cute bro, desperate times calls for desperate measures

That's more than a fuc.king billion naira in two days, and more than a fuc.king 15 billion naira in 30 days. I call this free money cos they never bargained that a situation like this would occur.

Fuu.ck the issue of saving, what Nigeria needs now is hyper investment of money to ensure circulation of funds and stimulate the economy. What kind of people do we have in the economic team. I believe Nigeria has a shortfall of funds, Buh anyone saying Nigeria is broke should have his head examined.

Buhari messed up by not inviting seasoned economists into his kitchen cabinet. That finance minister of a lady would definitely be overwhelmed by the pressure of work on her table cos she has never handled anything big of this nature. A soludo, sanusi(tho a hyper talkative) or even Okonjo iweala would have handled this crisis better.

Buhari choice of cabinet are definitely people whom he can remote control instead of giving them free hand to make sound economic policies, chai Naija we don enter be that ooo

Too bad

Poor contingency plan and a poor way to die, more especially for the second who sheepishly went to rescue a dead man instead of waiting for help.

100th foolish way to die, I feel for the families

g

poverty is soo damn bad, on a normal day it ain't ideal to live in face me i face you apartments where toilets and bathrooms are shared , cos situations like this would always pop up.

It so bad to loose one's tooth in this "change" period not to talk of loosing four at a stretch. This man could be unreasonable believing a one sided story before confronting the neighbour.

Women setting their husbands up since time immemorial. I wonder how this dude would be chewing meats he brings home

One thing I hate about the current government is their inability to accept their undoings. How can a government be claiming mafia on a budget they prepared, more especially in the event that they purged the civil service now replacing perceived spies of the previous government with their hench men.

A government who blame everything on the previous government, sometime ago this clown of a minister blamed GEJ for the reoccurrence of LASSA fever instead of the man to find proactive measures to stem the tide. the same clown comes out now to disown his budget, a budget that would have passed through his table before been endorsed in the 2016 budget.

The truth is that this government was never formed to improve the common man cause, it was formed to wrestle out power from the outgone government and that is why we see a lot of things happening that's are structurally wrong. These guys are a confused set of fellows without no clear economic direction, the scammers and rouges that would rip Nigerians off in this administration would make GEJ theifery a child's play.

We dey, we dey watch

what's with naija ladies and bleaching, I bet you these guys would soon be on the next list of celebrity heavy bleachers. It starts small like the second to the last pics where the face is bright as salcux emulsion yellow paint while the rest of the body is as dark as ever.

Quit from the act of "bleachry" the after effects could damn ad hell

losing an election and handing over power is no big deal, but in Africa it is a big deal, cos a lot of sitting president loves "sitting on the throne" never relinguishing power even if the electorate doesnt want them there except in an exception of a few countries in the continent. how many am I to mention, from Congo, Gabon, Cameroon , Rwanda , Burundi, CEntral African Rebuplic, Egypt, Lybia ,ivory coadt have one time in the present/past fell Into crisis or the other because their leaders refused relinguishing power when they became unpopular.

So I guess it is not far fetched that GEJ would be praised for this: relinguishing power, not seeking redress in the court(even though he had the right to exercise that right) and even congratulating the winner when it became obvious he would lose. Not withstanding the fact that he gave the umpire (INEC) a free hand in doing their thing even tho it was at his detriment.

One funny thing is how Nigerians forget so fast, how Nigerians sheepishly follow and hail politicians whose primary reason of delving into politics is to milk this country dry. GEJ may have supervised a wanton looting and misappropriation of public funds but does that make him worse that OBJ ? I don't think so

After OBJ left office, it was discovered that OBJ spent over 65 billion dollars on electricity with little or no improvement to the status quo before he met it( What about probing from there) . I have never heard EFCC investigate that case.
It was during OBJs tenure that millions of dollars were paid to the Govt for telecomunication licences, when Malaysia did theirs I heard that they used the funds to build new universities and fund their agricultural programs, how was ours spent.

OBJ is no saint and I hate it when gullible Nigerians portray him as one. Buhari who in the past claimed that Abacha was innocent of looting public funds is no saint either cos a friend and and a defender of a thief could also be referred as one. Eight long years was enough for OBJ to revamp the electricity sector, and the oil sector put together, six long years was enough for the clueless one to revamp the electricity sector Buh none of em did it and the problem continues.

Fixing infrastructure aint in Buharis agenda, just the fight of perceived enemies (sorry I mean the corruption crusade) so for now our economy can nosedive for all he bloody care

damn had a similar experience last December when I tried wooing an army recruit. Even tried holding her on the wrist, even asking her whether she was a corper even though she was wearing an army face cap and a wrist band.

It was after the scenario, that I reflected on what I did, some hailed me and called me an Alpha Male while some reacted angrily at me, and told me point blank that the army lady was just cool, else I would have been in guard room blaming the devil after I must have been dealt with since the army barracks was just a five minutes drive from where we are.

Buh come to think of it, is it a crime to tell a babe politely that she's beautiful, abi ladies in the house no dey enjoy it when they are wooed. It just plain stupid and regrettable that we all abuse our authority cos we gave power today else this shouldn't be an issue

Nice from the OP but the truth is that a different story would have made you a dead man. Buh I loved the fact that you took your chances and believe you me those miscreants would never check on You again.

but the truth is that phones laptops or any material possessions ain't worth your life but at the same time it is cool to be street wise.

congrats

ladyF:
Ehh enn?? Is she complaining? What is wrong with her age?

Anyway sha...God's time is the best. It's better to be single and happy than to be married and miserable. Till I come your way next time...

It's [size=15pt]LadyF[/size] again

Babe congratulations on your new job, even though it is unofficial and you have tried to hide it from some of us that you have gotten a job so that we don't tax you small, congrats.

Cos I hinge my conviction on the fact that you have not been hitting FTC again unlike before you were jobless and unemployed. Congrats my dear and wish ya all the best life can bring

The first time I heard from this dude was when he was Tiwa Salvage manager, the shiit got real and the dude knew that the babe is going places, the guy quickly tie knots and abandon his previous baby mama. Why because tiwa pays the bills.

That is what we call business relationship 101, dude is playing smart like ma IBO brothers. To keep body and soul busy ma nigga has to wet the ground and keep himself in the news, I don't blame him tho, Man must Waco now.

Doubt me and wait till when the marriage will go sour( I don't pray for that, before una go come for ma head) and see the bashing of his life tiwa go give am.


Ma dude keeps representing

unfortunately the same people who wholely fought for this party are the party are the ones subtly disintegrating it. First Baba now Madam low cut, the truth is that the party was formed and won the election on lies and propaganda and as such created much expectations hanging on their shoulders; the world economy now became a biitch and made things difficult for the government.

The truth and revelations prove that GEJ wrecked our economy with so much financial misappropriations which would have made us Greece if he had won for the second time, but buhari and APC weren't a better alternative cos except for the anti corruption crusade, he has practically done nothing. No promise fulfilled, No economic blueprint, No policy direction. Everything is still on a standstill only that we are flooded with EFFC news daily.

I believe a lot is going on in the Northeast worse than than what the media is reporting cos FG has been censoring what the media releases. I don't blame the Government, I blame populace who brought em into existence more especially the zombies down north who couldn't let us be with their Sai Baba chants.

Madam Low Cut, the Chibok Girl brouhaha chanter please park well, as much as I value life and feel for the parents of the affected kids, what's the guarantee they are in good condition? what's the guarantee that they ain't dead yet ? what database do the nation have to keep track of this children and identify then in case they are found ?What about hundreds and thousands of other girls who have been kidnapped by boko haram and have been raped, married out, or used as deliveries in suicide missions, who are speaking for them ?

I feel all these people speaking up now ( Baba, Madam Low cut) are speaking up cos they feel marginalised, they believed that with their support and propaganda in the build up of the elections they were expecting juicy positions in government which they never had and they are venting their anger
