How much does the average minister of power earn again?

I'm sure we are all Nigerians

Love800:
U mean to say clinics instead of general hospital?

No, a primary health care center.

Where do you live?

It's not that she's a nurse that matters.
People are free to practise their customs as long as they can keep it mostly to themselves and avoid infringing the lives of others.

This isn't funny. Everyone here was born by a mother at least, if they somehow need to know a female person before they can feel empathy.

Poor girl.

Love800:
What do you mean by primary health care centre?

Umm, government hospitals that provide care to people in that community.
Like general hospitals do but at a much smaller scale.
Ask about the nearest phc centre

Because Nigerians do not want to pay the market price of petrol and power.

That is why you have epileptic power and epileptic petrol supply.

Right now, you all are supposed to pay N184 per kwh of power, and N1000 and above for petrol. Yet, only 20% of us pay above N184 per kwh for power now, and petrol is below N800 at most filing stations, N900 at worst.

SO, at the end, nothing would smoothly run.

Subsides are supposed to bridge the gap, but are usually not sufficent. Corruption is a part of the issue, but the main thing is that it costs money to produce petrol and power.

And if you are not paying above the cost of production, issues are going to arise.

DO you have issues with your phone usage? Issues with food supply? Or issues sending a parcel? No, because they all are allowed to charge their prices for services rendered. Power , like I said is supposed to be N184, yet until recently, 100% of the country was paying below N71 per kwh. Now it is 80%

See, profit lubiricates things. take away the right of profit in the name of helping the poor, and providers will find it difficult to give you a-grade service, because it would make them so broke, their accounts would be reading something like minus one million dollars..lol.

You won't sell your product below what it cost to produce it to help poor nigerians.

You're right but talking about that in isolation as though the people simply want to enjoy free things is misleading.

You can't pay a person a tenth of their salary, demand a 100% of their work, and still expect them not to complain.

Either pay the man 100% what he's earned for 100% of his work or cheat him to the tune of 90‰ and accept his 90% reduced output.

Poor Nigerians are not poor because they're lazy, they're poor cos the bastards keep looting their income.

SSSbuster:
Help! I need advice. I was using a CD, but it burst. I know there's a drug that can prevent HIV infection if taken within 24 hours of exposure. To be safe, I sought out the drug, known as Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP). However, the ph0armacist didn't have it in stock, so they offered me an alternative called Aurobindo (see image below). I'm not familiar with drugs, but can anyone tell me if Aurobindo can be used as PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) to prevent HIV after exposure?

I want t make sure I have the correct drug, as I still have time to go find it if this one isn't the right one.

Go to the nearest primary health care center or general hospital

ValCon888:
Nigerians are not better than their leaders. Every single one of them that has opportunity to get into power will steal.

Every single one of them will steal.

Wow! Such wow! Much wow!
What a clever statement. Very clever. Too clever.

When doctors go on strike it's the same set of people that'll call them evil.

Issokay o. Issokay.

Either we start organising grassroots movements that'll put pressure on the powerful or we keep nairalanding our ineffective blows

The Senate is worried eh?

I'm sure they are.

Evil bastards.

The average senator earns millions and they probably have a nepa allowance or something like that.
So what do they care. If we like we should be buying light of 300k power month on salary of 120k per month, if doesn't affect their lives.

Shebi it's someone that is still dragging 700000 dollars school fees there. Shey it's that one that knows the meaning of band A.

We need to start asking for explanations for the salaries these people earn, much less the corruption they do.

Namaster:
What is this one saying?

What should they wear to the gym?

Jalabia and hijab?

Most women wear clothes that are specifically designed for mobility to gym.

This is the kind of guy that'll say a woman deserved to be raped because of the clothes she was wearing.

Focus on why you are in the gym. Do your reps and sets and geddifok!

This... Is why our societies will continue to crumble around us while we look on.

Now, I'm not saying you're entirely wrong: You're not. But you talk like you're entirely right, which you're not either.

Completely dismissing reality when it's being pointed out because... Liberalism, that's always a recipe for disaster.

And how do you know he's the kind of person who thinks women are to blame for their rape. For all you bloody know, this person may actually spend their life helping victims of rape while you do the usual theoretical social justice warrior on here.

Sorry for getting salty, I just really hate that we do this thing we're we ignore what's right in front of our eyes because the truth is too inconvenient to approach.

There's a rich conversation to be had about what people wear in public places. There's nothing wrong in having that debate in good conscience and he's made good coherent points. You and many others do character assassination without any real substance to back it up.

Let's try to calm down, all of us. Hope this isn't too offensive. E ma binu.

Kobojunkie:
Aren't you the same one who reasoned earlier that a curse may have been involved? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Didn't you read well at all?

Hmm, perhaps I missed something. Please point to the error you're referring to.

Nigeria united!

Details missing, emotions heightened.

Demand explanations fest.

Where did this happen?
Who was the witness?
Where there other witnesses?

What was the circumstance of the labour?
What was the cause of death?

Noooo! We just say it was god and it was sad, and we move on.

Until proven otherwise, someone made a mistake in the care of this patient. Either the woman and her husband or the doctors and the hospital.

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
Leave Nigerians, they're very ok with nonsense going on, if you suggest a very good solution to thier problems, they will insult you. They are just ok being killed like goats and those still alive will be typing RIP and they too will still die tomorrow or next while bandits rejoice. Look at the idea of state police, majority are still pointing at the disadvantages ignoring massive advantage, get a license guns, they says mass shootings will occur yet they are being killed in mass by bandits

There's a rich debate to be had on this matter. There are lots of advantages and there are lots of disadvantages.
Speaking as if either solution exists in a vacuum is how pretty much everyone goes about discussing this and it gets us nowhere.

More guns is good and bad, less guns is good and bad. We need to have live debates about these things.

I think i need to go and do diploma journalism or something

Hmm, more guns is shaa not the answer.

We need to provide amnesty to all armed robbers. Encourage them to drop their arms in exchange for a computer.

The government should teach them how to do yahoo, through unofficial means. The wise ones will make money, the rest will end up in jail.

See, I'm a genius. I should compete in the next election.

oluwaseyi0:
wawu

in the next 100 years, I believe we will have a technology that doesn't not completely rely on physical cables

by then our grandkids will be wondering how we survived by running cables across the world spanning hundreds of kilometers

Isn't that what starlink is today?

2mch:
You are a joke. Which foolish building blocks. Come make dem rape your yansh make you come online de yarn building blocks. Idiot. Dem de rape grown men now by the way. So if you think this is only women and because they did not train you well you think a 13yr old caused her own rape. Or women are beneath you so it will never affect you. Rape kills and ruins lives.

What a healthy (and brilliant) discourse. I guess questioning the appropriateness of a life sentence is all the information required to conclude that I think rape isn't a big deal, or men aren't affected.

And it stands to reason that saying we should look at the social reasons that make the problem so rampant is all the information required to conclude that women are responsible for their own rape.

Words of advise: take a break, get off the internet for a few hours. You'll probably draw better conclusions. The leaps you made... Terribly misguided. I appreciate your passion ofcos, and it seems maybe your heart is in the right place.

Life imprisonment...
Really?

Criminal justice is a joke. If it doesn't swing at all, it swings too far to the extreme.

We kukuma will never start looking thoroughly at the social blocks that breed these things, so sentence away I guess.

So... She couldn't possibly pick a wedding date that would have been far beyond exam time.
I hope it was deliberate o, cos if it was accidental I worry for her ability to manage her home

We are the ones who make them.
We, their fans. men especially.

Men demand and reward nudity, girls are forced to supply and be rewarded.

Hypocrite that we are, we'll turn around and talk about how the world has gone crazy.

Yes there will always be outliers who have no identifiable social origin for their sexual explicity, but the majority have their roots in the hands of men.

If it's not a childhood of sexual abuse, it's a society with terrible economic pits that disproportionately affect young women.

No, the "adult" media we consume isn't harmless at all.

So as much as it's true that young girls are too senseless to see how their actions will impact them in future, it's worse that age doesn't help men see how much damage our actions have caused and continue to

Children aren't born evil, we make them what they are.

Both the victim and her perpetrators need help. They all need help. And if they don't get proper intervention at this stage, guess who grows up to think it's okay for men to abuse her body.

Guess who grows up to think it's okay to date rape a girl

DMerciful:
You cannot let the tail wag the dog. Our biggest problem by far is allowing corrupt people to run govt and squander our resources. We must break this structure of criminality.

You cannot expect someone to buy naija if its cheaper and of better quality to import. We must focus on where we have competitive advantage. All country imports but because of corruption in govt, we cannot have stable electricity and other incentives to make us produce competitively.

How much do yoj buy that makes you think a dent can be made? Does the govt buy naija to grow naija?

The tail should not wag the dog!

Let's the clear, being more socially conscious is not a bad thing. Thinking about what you buy and the effect it has is a good thing.

Yes corruption and other things are a big part of the problem but inefficiencies at individual level when combined also contribute significantly.

Let's do both things. One is easier to achieve for the ordinary person than the other. Or do you know a way to get rid of corruption overnight?

safariman:
What is wrong here is that as long as they are serving the public, they are bound and obligated to not discriminate. Its different if its your private residence and you invite certain friends over. Its not the property (govt or private owned) that is in question, its that you are providing a service to the public, therefore, cannot operate it like apartheid or discriminate based on your colour, tribe etc.

Hmm... But they could just call it an exclusive supermarket and it'll be okay, yeah?
I see what you're saying. I guess I should have thought more about it.
But now I'm just thinking of how to help them game the system.
Rich people already do legal segregation with money, so these ones can just say it's an exclusive supermarket that requires you to have a specialised vip card. They'll allow you to start registration o but somehow somehow black people will not meet the criteria or the processing will take forever. Meanwhile Chinese people will walk in and out with their "special" vip card.
Everybody can rest then

I know about this discrimination laws in countries like the USA Maybe it’s cos it naija shaa, I feel like what are we shouting about. Everything is already upside down this is now the one we’re taking up arms in protest of.

Thanks for the explanation anyway.

Lifestone:
But Nigerian laws does not permit discrimination in form of race as these Chinco is trying to do to us in our country. I don't get how this makes sense to you guys

Honestly, I see what you’re saying. If they’re breaking the law they should be prosecuted.
Personally though, I just don’t feel so strongly about it. They don’t want black people in their business, meh! Their problem.

Yes I know it shouldn’t be like that, I also don’t care to care so much about it. People are out here like they’re the Nazis and they’re invading our motherland or whatever. Chill, my people. chill

wirinet:
Please stop behaving like an ingrate that uses left hand to point to his father's compound. The Chinese don't own any land in Nigeria, all land belongs to the government, they can only lease it.
Even if they bought and own the land, they cannot commit a crime on the land.
They should go to South Africa and discriminate against the locals claiming they own the land, and see if they would live to tell the story.

Considering we’ve practically given the keys to Aso Rock in exchange for loans, it’s really hard not to see the irony in that.
Anyway, if they’re breaking the law of the land they should face the consequences.
Whilst I wouldn’t treat people like that, I’m not really interested in judging the people involved. I just don’t really care.
This country has way too many things wrong for me to become agitated over someone controlling their private property.

I still don't know why this is a big deal.
Owner of private (not government) property said someone should not enter, you said they're not good.
Chinese or no, they bought the land. If you didn't want them to do whatever you wanted with it you should not have sold it to them.

People behaving as if the owner borrowed it or is a mere caretaker for the land

I have a used mi band 8 for sale.
Price is 30k.
Charger is present but original strap isn't; only an aftermarket strap is included (you choose one of three colors)

Economists on this thread must be sighing incessantly.
All these arguments go back to poor understanding of economics.

Let's shaa be calming down.

Don't understand...
A person built a structure with his money and decided to allow certain people in, what's the problem?

It's a supermarket, yes, but it's still private property.
If it was an exclusive club would you bang on the gate demanding to be let in?

Abeg, this one no CONSIGN me jere

Mvnster:
100k for messengers, gatemen, cleaners.
Doctors, nurses, engineers, teachers should earn above 1m each. Inflation can go to hell. Those useless thugs should have a reason to take education seriously.

Doctors should earn 1m, yes, but they won't do it. If a doctor's base pay is raised even to half of that, more of them will stay and hopefully people die less from lack of a functional system.

I'm with you brother, I'm with you. I fume at the gap between senators and the professors teachers engineers and other highly educated people who sacrifice day in day out to serve this country.
The former are barely educated fools earning millions legally to do nothing, talk less of all the illegal funds. The latter cannot afford to feed their families.

It'll be great if they push for 150k and they make it happen. It's just important to keep the stability of the economy in our view always. None of this matters if inflation goes through the sun and we end up with Zimbabwe dollars for a currency
