PoliticsRe: Electricity Tariff: More Multinational Companies May Exit Nigeria — MAN by 9jaRealist: 7:14am On Jul 01, 2023
ugofulfilled:
Are you asking a genuine question or you're being satirical?
Nigeria has one of the CHEAPEST prices of electricity in Africa (and the world)…

The biggest electricity problem in Nigeria is currently one of access, due to poor transmission and distribution infrastructure (not even capacity, as current installed generation capacity is significantly underutilized and/or “l stranded”). The access issue can be addressed (in the short, medium and longer-term) by better metering and more crucially cost-reflective tariffs which would lead to better balance sheets for the discos, making it easier to attract equity capital and/or secure debt capital to invest in the rehabilitation, upgrade and modernization of distribution infrastructure, lessening commercial and technical losses and thus increasing liquidity along the entire value chain.

It’s NOT rocket science really. For Nigerians to continue to Insist on “cheap” grid electricity prices and then spending a whole lot more on privately generating power is just plain FOOLISH!

RUBBISH analysis…
But aptly demonstrates the POOR quality of many who occupy “leadership” positions in Nigeria.

Reality is that most (if not all) manufacturers in Nigeria currently rely on UNSUBSIDIZED DIESEL-powered generators…
That’s a much more expensive alternative and thus if cost-reflective tarries improves grid power, switching would be much CHEAPER!

Foreign AffairsRe: US Supreme Court strikes down Biden's Students Loan Debt Forgiveness by 9jaRealist: 4:39pm On Jun 30, 2023
ggoldmine:
Instead of creating new education policies and reforms to mitigate the exorbitant student loans, he's trying to forgive debt. If those debts had been forgiven; What would happen to future student loans? How would financial companies recoup their losses and pay those supposed graduates working for them?

This would have been just a vicious cycle: forgive current loan debts, loan companies suffer, workers are laid off, possible rates hike for student loans, reduced student loan issuance/strict requirements, less people in school, advocacy for free/cheap/access to education, more people in school, more student loans accumulate. It never goes away.
SmartPolician:
Oga, you don't run finances with emotions.

That's why nothing works in Nigeria.

To maintain universities that pioneer innovative research that transforms the world, you need a lot of money.

There's a reason American universities are the best in the world and also are some of the most expensive.

Education is not cheap. If you keep having shitty education, you keep churning out unemployable graduates. That's where student loans come in.

Biden cannot wake up and forgive student loans. Things don't work like that. Perhaps he will wake up someday and tell Americans to stop paying taxes because they have been abolished.
And exactly how would the government’s loan debt forgiveness affect this?! shocked

It seems you don’t even understand the program you’re criticizing…
Since the idea is that the USG would REPAY those loans (that’s what the $400b is needed for).

The “forgiveness” is granted to the student by the government repaying the loans instead…
Lifting the considerable BURDEN of low- and middle-class youth starting off life with a HUGE debt overhang.

PS: Btw, a massive amount of research in US universities are fund by GOVERNMENT grants ($49 billion of FREE cash in 2021)!

Byeden's pseudo voters appeasement scheme blocked. Niice!
SmartPolician:
America is a country where laws work! If Biden wants a cheap way to win his re-election bid, he should use his money to pay the student loans. That's if he has anything close to that.

But then, if Americans, who can easily get jobs after college, are unable to repay their student loans, is it in Nigeria where a student cannot get a decent job after 5 years that people can pay their student loans? grin
Spoken like folks who do not see education as a PUBLIC good or asset…
That’s why I consistently contend that most Nigerians mirror (and DESERVE) their rulers.

Meanwhile, not a surprising decision from a PARTISAN court…
It’s what the uneducated yahoos that constitute much of the Republican base wanted.

For all of the woefulness of Nigeria…

The US student loan debacle should answer those Nigerians (especially doctors) who “japa” and complain that Nigeria never did anything for them - while their American colleagues are carrying anywhere from $250K to over $1m in student loan debt.

Reality is that education is an “investment” that a nation or society makes in its citizenry, with the expectation of a “return” therefrom whereupon those educated citizens work to make the nation or society even better than they met it.

Of course, that’s not the only investment the state has to make (security, good governance, etc., are also necessary), but ultimately Nigeria’s condition comes down to the culmination of the various actions (by commission or omission) of ALL NIGERIANS!

Nothing lasts forever especially power.
The old service chiefs and old military officers are now retirees to be waiting for pension money and gratuity.

Whoever didn't invest in business while in service or saved money to start business after service will know what it means to be a Pensioneers.
They must have seen this coming…
But it’s still a veritable WASTE of national resources.

Nigeria should emulate nations like the US…
And simply promote the new CDS and service chiefs to the top service ranks.

Oh jeez. Forgot to mention the climbing trees part. I was good at climbing guava trees then. Unlike you, my parents allowed us play with other kids and visit too. No restrictions. My parents were very liberal in the way they brought us up.

Like you, I didn't know the difference between tribes. I went to a Federal boarding school so everyone was the same. It was when I joined NL I understood our differences.

I used to enjoy riots those days sha😂 cos it meant no school. At the same time, I also remember how my dad would try to maneuver his way by passing through alternative, longer routes with a bunch of leaves attached to his windscreen. Those days were really good.

FashionRe: Lady's Asoebi Mini Dress Leaves Internet Users Displeased, by 9jaRealist: 2:03pm On Jun 27, 2023
ExclusiveBet:
A Nigerian makeup artist, @anniprobeauty, recently shared a clip of hos owambe Saturday with his girlfriend
In the video, the couple are seen in white and blue matching outfits with the lady dressed in a short look
However, several internet users have voted down her look with some questioning the rationale behind the style
While the edge of daring fashion is upon us, not everyone is a fan of revealing outfits - especially when it comes to owambe.


One lady recently got criticised over her decision to wear an extremely short dress to an owambe event

Makeup artist, @anniprobeauty, posted a video which saw him and his girlfriend all dressed up for an owambe function - both in matching asoebi.

While he donned an agbada ensemble, she sported a corset bodice mini dress with a side draping.

Social media users vote down lady's mini dress asoebi
However, it appears not everyone is pleased with the length of her dress.

Check out some comments below:

anita_anets:

"What in God’s name in this dress? Decency aside, what about ur personal comfort?"
ade___damola1:

"The material she suppose use to make the gown long and suitable for owambe she use ham do side tail."
meerah_ideas1:

"See as man cover everywhere but PRECIOUS JEWEL reveal almost everything."
africanbadgirl__:

"Why do you people sew very short gowns for owambe."
oskijay:

"Nahh there is no goals here. Can’t let my girl out with this kind of gown( mini skirt ) to a wedding ffs."

"May I not marry a man that will let me wear such thing and follow him to an occasion wey no be club."

For the first time in a census of England and Wales, less than half of the population (46.2%, 27.5 million people) described themselves as “Christian”, a 13.1 percentage point decrease from 59.3% (33.3 million) in 2011; despite this decrease, “Christian” remained the most common response to the religion question.
