When you refer someone for a contract, it is left to the person to decide if he should give you something as thanksgiving or not..
In my case, I chose to give my friend who's more like a brother to me now 10%..10% weyn I suppose carry go church.. He wants more even after explaining to him that I paid for services of people who I worked with..

He's threatening fire, brimstone and hell already..

What should I do?

10% of what exactly.

Normally, it should be a percentage of net
profit.

If were you, from my experiences, i would have sat him down, discuss the entire project financial terms and calculate the net profit which he will get not more than 30%. If you are really generous and he is really greedy, 60-40 is the worst case.

Know that you didnt get the job on your own. You are lucky he didn't even negotiate before he gave you the connection. It means he either trusted you or was inexperienced.

Alexandro15:
This is so unfair na. They have the right to use the product of their choice.

Personally, they can if their contract doesnot limit it.

It is a shame to a father whose child eats rice in the public like he has never seen it.

Likewise its a shame to a company that produces a product its staff are not satisfied with.

ZOOMBIE.PDP'S CLAIMS WAS AND IS STILL REAL.AS I WRITE.APC IN MY AREA ARE DOING ADVANCE VOTE BUYING TO THUMP PRINT AND STUFF BALLOT BOXES IN CONJUNCTION WITH INEC. AND SAME PROCESS GOES NATION WIDE SIMONTEANOUSLY IN OTHER STATES.APC KNEW THEY HAVE FAILED THE MASSES,THE ONLY WAY IS TO THUMP PRINT ELECTORAL MATERIALS IN ADVANCE.

OTHER PARTIES SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THIS MESSAGE.

Lame excuse for imminent failure.

Ballot box stuffing my foot. Next level please.

Lai Mohammed didn't do it this way. Even if some were propaganda, it was sensible a d caused a stir. While this PDP is just dumbfounded.

PDP is too boring walahi!

This Lie Mohammed wannabe needs to check his brain.

At this point, TWAILE Lie Mohammed, PDP cant beat you at this game.

PDPs version keeps coming out lame.

A very Good innovation. The ministry of Science and Technology should Look into his invention and get him a patent before his idea gets stolen.
Kudos to the Innovative Nigerian

I thought he was related to the main Obasanjo.

I will patiently wait 5-10 yrs to get "OK" Alaska airlines sweater for my self at N500.

I have 2 things i personally want FRSC to clarify for me.

1. Their offense sheet has fines for driving without or with shattered windscreen. Is a shattered windscreen same as cracked windscreen? We all know that a simple single line crack on the windshield will get a motorist fined.

2. Offence sheet has fine for driving with worn-out tires or without spare tire. Why does FRSC fine drivers under this code for expired tires. What is the definition of an expired tire? Some of us know that tires have no specific expiry date. 2 same tires can leave the same factory on the same day and used on the same car but one can expire before the other. One brand can expire in a year and another could take 8yrs, why would officers fine you one a code that doesnt exist. When FRSC official says your tires are expired, they will fine you for wornout tires which is not your offence. Majority of officers do not even know the existence or use of tire wear bar. Therefore there are no standards and motorist are sometimes victimized.

That was how AMAC arrested me with police, towed my vehicle and fined me almost 20k for parking on the shoulder of the speed lane in Abuja. I wonder what the shoulder was made for? That incident pain me no be small. If i make a phone call while driving, FRSC will catch me, if i park well to make a phone call AMAC go catch me, which one na!

Example: That guy like dorcassing.
Example 2: That guy too dey dorcas Funke.

One has all the permissions to be in this digital age.

Second has no Atm and no ussd but has mobile app.

Third has nothing. Not even alert. I have to be in the bank to transact on this one.

I added my mastercard to Google play store, i was debited for an app download payment without any pin or token.

APC is good at eating glory of what previous government started and Financed.

They purposely suspended all those contracts GEJ started and financed so that they can reactivate the construction later and eat the glory

If you vote bulhari El sudani, The blood Fulani Herdsmen will shed after election if he wins will be on your head.

At the time of posting this reply, the guy above had 42 likes without making any sense.

This was how GEJ lost election because the ones busy cllicking likes for GEJ could not save him at the true poll.

This guy above wants us to believe Buhari was just pressing pause and play on projects awarded by GEJ to have them completed. Its just will my ignorant friend.

Go around Abuja, roads abandoned as far back as Obj's 2006 are being completed. Buhari just has the will PDP can never have. That is what is working for him.

Press Statement

PDP Mocks Buhari for Seeking Credit For New Abuja Airport Terminal

The PDP Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) mocks President Muhammadu Buhari for attempting to claim credit for the construction of new Terminal Building at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, even when it is public knowledge that the project was designed, conceptualized and fully financed by the PDP administration.

The PPCO says it is unfortunate that President Buhari, in his desperation to nudge up his globally established non-performance rating, ahead of the 2019 Presidential election, engaged in yet another failed media stunt by trying to posture and claim credit for a project his administration made no contribution towards the funding and execution.

It was therefore derisory to see Mr. President and his handlers, comically swaggering and gleefully hugging the cameras at the commissioning of a project they made no contribution. 

If anything, like the Port Harcourt Airport terminal building, President Buhari, in his flops, only succeeded in delaying the completion of the project, which concept and construction was perfected by the PDP, including payments to the contractors.

Is it not appalling that President Buhari, who, out of sheer incompetence and total disregard for the development need of our nation, cannot point to any key development project he had initiated and executed since his inauguration in 2015, despite the huge resources at his disposal, only to be going around the country, claiming credit for projects executed by the PDP?

Unarguably, such manifest incompetence and resort to false performance claims is the reason our federal lawmakers booed and jeered at Mr. President at the 2019 budget presentation at the National Assembly.

In any case, what would one expect from a President that has openly admitted that he lacked the capacity to manage an economy as complex as Nigeria’s for which he has promised Nigerians more suffering in the coming year.

The PDP is aware that President Buhari is desperate to validate his false performance indices, but seeking to lay claim to projects executed by our party, only shows that he has hit the end of the road.

The only option left for President Buhari is to accept his failures, as Nigerians rally behind the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to rescue our nation and return her to the path of good governance, development, national cohesion and economic prosperity.

The bolded is one of the reasons i am not voting for PDP come 2019.

I support Buhari on his stance on completing important and abandoned projects instead of initiating new ones and abandoning uncompleted ones just like PDP was fond of.

In other words, they would have preferred he abandoned or move funds meant for projects he didnt award to ones he will initiate.

What shallow thinking! I sorry for PDP.

Next level please.

I want to ignore the N200 recharge card reward, the owner is just ungrateful

The Keke driver has done a good thing and should be commended.

Don't always expect the reward for your good deeds to be immediate. Don't even expect the reward to come from the person who benefited from you.

His rewards will come when due. And in multiple folds

A hotel steward gives you 1st class treatment for a tip. It doesnt stop him from giving 1st class treatment if his last customer didnt give him a good tip. He has no excuse to behave badly.

Even as the keke man didnt get the right tip, in the kind of country we live in, it is a painful thing not to be appreciated. In this case, it is not the lack of tip but the meagrely amount. I will not have collected it. Its better to get my full blessings than for my bleesings to be reduced to N200.

Every one will agree, 100-150k would have sufficed.

Let me give my personal story even though not money related. At 17yrs old I had these neighbors, the parents (drunks), 16yr old house girl and 15 and 8yr old daughters. The parents usually come home say 3am each drunk from the night out. These girls will have me stay with them till 2am just before the parents show up. One day, lying between the 2 older girls, we were watching a movie, the housegirl graped my dick and the other one climbed on top of me trying to kiss me. In summary, i was able to forcefully free myself from all the attacks. I stood up, was pushed to the wall, kissed and all but i refused and left even with pleas to do it.

I had respect for their home, never had a 3some, mostly dated my age or older and lastly the 15yr old was like my school daughter since we were in the same boarding school. Besides, another neighbor guy had begged me to f..k this girl as she obviously wants it from me. This girl later slept with another of my friends, cut all ties with me, started several false rumours that i was jealous of her boyfriend, transfered from our school and called me a fool to my face.

What i did out of goodwill turned out sçorn. I was laughed at, mocked for being a loser. I keep asking myself till today why i didnt do it? Later in life i did things i didnt want to just because i fear regretting i didn't. That episode of goodwill affected me negatively.

When we appreciate good we encourage good. Part of the reason for corruption in Nigeria is because people never get appreciated enough, teachers graduate from universities with good grades only to retire 35yrs later without a home and in some cases even their graduity isnt enough to build a home. Why wont corruption increase when even the government doesnot appreciate labour.

The main question is, was this keke man encouraged to do it again?

How would a sane Nigerian agree to such poo of reasoning by PDP.

How can Police od DSS possibly remove a Senate President?

How lawful will it be or how does the removal stand without backlash to APC.

Am just tired of PDP crying wolf.

Like the crying wolf story goes, if you cry wolf too much, when the actual wolf shows up, no one will believe PDP.

JimD:
How does this change the price of rice?
Approve or not approve. Who cares?
All na campaign gimmick.

When a youth says this, then Nigeria's future is bleak.

nelronaldo:
Typographical error na. Everybody wants to score political points. Instead of you to say they approved 488.7 instead of 487.8

What do I know? Naija matter don weak me abeg

What about the 4 missing states, typo too?

When billions are in the line typo's are not just typo's, they become intentional typo's.

Dont forget if the 4 states are later added, we will be looking at over half a trillion. Thats about 600billion at an average of 23billion/state if the 4 states are added. This is a big fraud walahi with almost a 100billion in the line.

Mr common sense is lacking one of the commonest senses out there.

GAZZUZZ:
The pin will not stop a failing thread pull. It will hold it a bit longer though.

Long enough for even the dumbest driver to know he has a serious suspension problem.

A stripped nut will fall right off but with a cotter pin, the nut wont pass.

Or have you seen a nut breaking pass a cotter pin before?

REDDEVILS1:
thanks baba. I appreciate. Getting the oem parts will be a problem. These guys can be dubious. How do i know its the original not china? My dad stays in an area with very bad road, will 1 year not be stretching it?

A friend of mine recently experienced the k leg 3 times in 3 days on a 2000 Accord.

It was pretty obvious what was wrong. A day prior to the first k leg, he changed his front shocks and ball joints. The ball joints were new, 4k for the pair. Obviously not oem.

1st pull. Front right ball joint nut stripped thread. Mechanic replaced with new nut.

2nd pull. Front left ball joint bolt and nut stripped thread. Whole ball joint replaced with toks.

3rd pull. Front right ball joint bolt and nut thread stripped. Whole ball joint was replaced toks.

Its obvious that most new non oem bolts/nuts fail by thread stripping.

Besides, on all occasions, at no time was a cotter pin installed. On all three consecutive pulls, despite the stripped threads, the pull would have been prevented if the mechanics simply installed the cotter pins.

Even though 90% of the pull is thread stripping, 99% of the time cotter pins are not installed causing pull ball joints.

Note, the 3 ball joints on a honda leg have holes for cotter pins but Naija mechanics simply dont find the need to put a pin.

Mind you, our ceiling fans are installed with such pins, why do our fans hardly falls from the ceiling? They can dance all the want, with the pin installed, no thread stripping will cause havoc.

Insist on your mechanic to install cotter pins for you.

After the loss of 2019, maybe PDP will acquire some sense.

They think it was propaganda that got APC elected amd they have been dishing out various forms of propaganda which has not helped them. See the blackmail about the peace accord boycott and electoral bill rejection.

Next level please.

Nnamz:
Initially I was going to ignore you because this question shows you haven't read previous pages of this thread. I'm just gonna answer it so that other lazy Nigerian youths like you don't repeat the question.

When you invest for 55 or 90 days at 10%, YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE FULL 10% for that investment. Divide 10% by 1 year (0.10÷364 = 0.00027). Times the result by the number of days, 55 in this case. That would give you 0.015. That means you're getting just 1.5% of that 100,000 investment.

A guy here said he read the first 300 pages of this thread. I did similar thing that is why I can say I know so much about tbills, not from reading a book or not because I work at a bank, but because I spent time here reading previous pages of this thread. PLEASE YOU GUYS SHOULD STOP ASKING QUESTIONS THAT YOU WOULD FIND THE ANSWERS TO IF YOU TOOK 20 MINUTES TO READ PREVIOUS PAGES OF THIS THREAD. ALSO ENOUGH WITH THE FIGHT. IF YOU ARE NOT HERE FOR INVESTMENTS, LEAVE THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU MAKE REASONABLE INVESTORS HERE LEAVE BECAUSE OF YOU.

I read a lot of pages and skipped some but i got most of the answers without asking much.

odomanis:
Then tell your principal to sign the electoral bill,it clears the confusions that could lead to chaos. You cant refuse to sign a law that will bring about peace and you are coming to sign peace accord.

Blackmailers.

New line of denial by PDP.

Donald95:
Thunder fire peace.

Buhari came into existence using intimidation threatening hell on Earth which made GEJ run with tails in between his legs, now they want to use peace to know how strong presidential candidates are.

Thank God Atiku is equal to the task. If you want fire, you will receive fire. But abeg o make una carry una fire and brimstone go North abeg

At least Buhari signed it in 2015 and now. Its PDP that has shown that it does not want peace and its a clear message for Nigerians as we head into election campaigns.

mayor2013:
Your engine is readily available in the local market

Is the carbon complain synonymous to looking for engine?

GAZZUZZ:
Very easy, feed steam into the intake (post MAF) with engine running @ 1.5-2k rpm 1hr later engine is clean.

I want to do this but am really scared.

I saw a video of Eric the car doing this by pouring water bit by bit. Is steam a safer way cause my engine makes the knocking especially during harmattan season?

What about the CAT converter, does it not clog it?

If i do the steam, for how long should one do it?

I am thinking of boiling water from a kettle with a pipe connection to intake.

The north won't win 2019 elections


I can bet my left ball

What

Where is Buhari from

Where is Atiku from

I see a win win for the north!!!

6Ebisco:
The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has said the 2019 presidential election will be won and lost based on the capacity, performance and incompetence of the candidates rather than sentiments as was the case in 2015. According to the forum, the ideal Nigerian president should be a patriot, committed nationalist, bridge-builder and unifier of all Nigerians, irrespective of tongue, tribe and religion.

Speaking with journalists in his Arewa Farms in Zaria yesterday, convener of the forum, Prof Ango Abdullahi, also revealed that power brokers in the North will not support President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election in the 2019 polls because he has woefully failed to address abject poverty and underdevelopment in the region.

He said, “No one should take the North for granted, and it is not for sale. The North will no longer vote based on sentiments. It will resist shedding its blood for any candidate, and will critically scrutinise all politicians who have betrayed the hopes and mandates of our people. “They should be prepared to suffer rejection, in the same manner the votes of the North rejected the attempt to continue with impunity, corruption and indifference of the Jonathan administration,” Prof Ango warned”.

On the kind of presidential candidate Nigerians should vote for in 2019, Abdullahi who will clock 80 years on December 13, 2018 said, “The ideal presidential candidate for 2019 should be a patriot, a committed nationalist, a bridge-builder and unifier of all Nigerians.

“He must believe in, and must have demonstrated in practical terms, a strong commitment to the principles of our common humanity and the transformation of our diversity into sources of strength. “He must inspire, by personal disposition, the confidence and trust of all Nigerians that they can expect fair and just treatment and leadership that is inclusive of all sections and interest”.

On why the forum are against Buhari’s re-election, Abdullahi stated categorically that President Buhari has fallen short of the expectations of Nigerians, especially the Northern elite on whose back he rode to power in 2015 after 12 years of failed attempts. He said, “It is unfortunate that most supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari, including the president himself, think that he won the 2015 presidency because of what they described as ‘Buhari Magic.’

If Buhari had any magic at all, how come he could not win the presidency in 2003, 2007 and 2011? For 12 years, he failed to make it to Aso Rock, until we rallied round him and helped him to power in 2015. “I, Prof Ango Abdullahi, stuck out my neck for Buhari’s cause. I was nearly killed for my support for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.

I was attacked in Bauchi and nearly got killed. There were 11 bullet holes in my Jeep. The Late Maitama Sule, I and other Northern elders of like minds tried to advise him, but he arrogantly ignored us. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed was the one who took our advisory letter to him.

And even after he followed up with another copy of the letter after the President claimed to have forgotten receiving any such letter, we never got any response from till date”. Abdullahi said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lost the 2015 general elections basically because its leadership reneged on the agreement of eight-year tenure for the South and eight years for the North. He continued: “Former President Olusegun Obasanjo served eight years; and then it was the turn of the North. He made an attempt at a third term, but we fought him vehemently and he failed. He then brought Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.

He spent three years in office and died. Initially, we didn’t want his choice, but the late Sunday Awoniyi pleaded with us to give Yar’Adua a chance and we rallied round him. “The Constitution says the vice president should step and complete the tenure in the event that the president dies. Ideally, the PDP leadership need not argue that it was indeed the turn of the North. “And then Goodluck Jonathan was allowed to contest the 2011 presidential election.

The argument was that it was about Nigerian president and not a Northern president. There was no quarrel. But when towards the end of Jonathan’s first tenure he said he was not aware of any power shift in the PDP, it became a serious problem. And this was what eventually led to the defeat of the party in 2015”. Abdullahi further maintained that the Northern elite believe that only the candidate that can measure up and is clearly capable of meeting the very high demands of leadership with personal integrity, unblemished record of selfless service, sound health and commitment to Nigeria’s unity and survival should be trusted with the leadership of the country in 2015.

He lamented that under President Buhari, Nigeria’s economy is characterised by significant loss of output, massive youth unemployment, a rising level of poverty, instability and irregular migration of skilled and unskilled labour, a situation he described as a national embarrassment and a disgrace to a country that is endowed with abundant resources.

He said another four years of Buhari administration would be catastrophic with the current government’s unprecedented incompetence and enthronement of mediocrity in dealing with the horrendous spate of killings and general insecurity across the country. He warned that no Northern politician, including the president who is seeking re-election, should expect to be voted in the 2019 general election unless they demonstrate a willingness to champion a massive assault on poverty and underdevelopment in the North.

“All political office holders from the North are, hereby, served notice that they have failed the test to lead the region towards economic recovery and growth”, he added.

Our sister publication, LEADERSHIP, had reported last Wednesday that members of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) on Tuesday sang discordant tunes on the re-election bid of President Muhammadu Buhari. While some members, led by zonal conveners, Sani Zangon Daura (Danmasanin Daura) and Maj-Gen Paul Tarfa; and director of Logistics, Capt Bashir Sodangi, had dismissed claims of a search for President Buhari’s replacement in the North and threw their weight behind his second term bid, others on the side of the convener of the forum, Prof Abdullahi, vehemently opposed the president’s re-election.

http://mcebiscoo.com/2018/12/09/2019-north-will-not-vote-on-sentiment-says-elders-forum/

Na today?

Even SE and SW go vote based on sentiment.

Unfortunately, the SE does not know how to play the sentimental game. They come outspoken about it that the north doesn't feel safe the work against the SE.

To all those Nairalanders shouting dullard here and there, you don't think the Northerners are watching you? If there is one thing i know about Northerners, their sentiment is never known until the last minute.

okezie007:
Hey! Can you kindly give a breakdown of your expenses for NSE?

Honestly, cant remember. I did it 2016 and the fees are not as straight forward as COREN.

I remember some basic fees i paid as Application fees N20,000, Registration and induction fee N56,000 and MCPE was N20,000, branch membership fees N10,000, division membership fee was waved for me at the branch level but it could be up to N50,000. Branch seminars and tutorials N15,000 (a friend paid N40,000 at his branch). Apart from several other things you may need to pay for as a group but not necessarily in fulfillment of NSE guidelines. For example, our set had a community project which we paid N10,000 each to drill a borehole in a rural village.

NSE fees are not as standard as COREN since there are branches and divisions that set their own fees.
