Saraki don spoil hinself. He will go down in history as the most disrespected senate president as a result of the treacherous means through which he occupied that exalted seat.

Only willfully ignorant folks like you would believe that Saraki doesn't wield so much power. He will block PMB nominees for ministers, ambassadors, agencies like EFCC, ICPC, justices of high court, court of appeal and Supreme Court, Defence Chiefs, CBN governor.. He can refuse to pass national budget. He can ground Buhari. Go and read how Chuba Okadigbo and Ghali Uma N'Abba crippled OBJ

They are not the same thing, bro.

I know many igbos who attend military and federal government colleges in the north, no-one treated them differently because they were Igbo.

One of my good friends attended the Nigerian Military School in Zaria and never had any problems there.

On the other hand i know many black people who attended white elite schools in the US and the UK that had serious problems simply because of the colour of their skin.

Fallacy u ve believed as result of delusion. So Igbos should be treated differently in Naij military? How of ur Igbo friends were saved when Islamic fundamentalist started sectarian riot in the north?!

9. Americans show ID Cards when entering the club So you go to the club and you come with your ID.

Weird in most places right? Not in America, as for most places, you must be properly identified before you are admitted. If you are a foreigner, you can only be admitted if you come along with your international passport. Imagine how uncomfortable it gets putting your passport in your back pocket or hip pocket or the risk of losing it all together. Well, to be admitted in most places of revelry in MAerica, it is your passport that gains you entrée.

because of strict liability, bars and clubs must verify ID and age of patrons before you are served alcohol. US drinking age is 21; and it's strictly enforced unlike in Naija where it's 18 and nobody enforces it.

Worst corporations in USA are above the best in Naija.

Election is over! Time to lead. Why is this govt competing to be the worst??

Bros abeg if u feel too big to take a job, then take a hike. This job came with descriptions that u can take or leave why criticize it when u weren't forced to accept it. There are ppl like me who will be happy to do what it takes to get that truck. Most of the trucks u see on the road are more than 10 yrs oldand still working fine and if u really know what a truck gets for a trip, u will have a run for ur money. And I have not seen a nice offer of a truck after three yrs. For example a truck costs N18 millon divide it by 2 as salvage value (that's the value of what's left of the truck just saying) that's N9 million. On getting the truck do u know how much it takes to hire a truck u own? That's abt N100,000 PER TRIP plus trustworthy customers u will get during ur three yrs of service so before u complain, do ur home work well. A very good opportunity if I may say

Good submission, but the engines and Trans are Mercedes Benz engineered. They can go 1 million miles-1.6m km if well taken care of. N100k doesn't cover our cost of diesel. It takes about N120-N150k to get ur truck in shape for a long haul like that. Trucks charge between N350-N500 to haul dead weight like cement to the core north. After expenses, ur take home should be around N200k per trip. So if u can just make one trip in a wk, u make 200k=N800k in a month- u can make 9.6m in yr-( this is a conservative estimate)

Cosmas Maduka u fall our hands.is better to marry from other Africa than,,,, I ve never heard that a yoruba billionaire son or daughter marry Igbo.

Naija needs a million Madukas! U can become ur own billionaire and force ur kids to marry from ur family.

Once again thank you for ur well taught of response, u are right 3yrs is just down the line, and one may not even make enough to own a truck in that period, and also one could make more than that also.

Personally, I av a plan and a truck thing is not it, I have wot I do with which am satisfied to an extent. Bro getting a truck is good but just understand that 3yrs of ur life will be devouted to the project, am currently studying for my post graduate degree and I plan to have more degrees, u can't do that following a truck all through war torn places.

The risk outweighs the benefit, the life span of the truck on Nigerian road is less than 3 yrs, its actually 3yrs for developed economies, the conditions, paying for damages cos there would definitely be one case, what of robbery at night, what of the mischievousness of the drivers, they been there b4 u and would definitely outsmart u, cos dey would be wit the truck at all times,while u may decide to rest in a hotel. Oga so much to consider, finally how do u explain to your woman that you don't know how many times u would be able to be home in 3 yrs and u don't know which state you will be the next day.

I can go on and on

If life gives you lemons make lemonade using Dangote sugar.
If theres no insurance if you all come together as drivers, form a cooperative and sign up with an HMO to take care of the insurance thing would that not take care of the issue?

Im guessing like your colleagues most of you are not married, so the cover should be adjusted and initial fee reduced. Hey what do i know?

Last i checked staying at home sending out cvs, does not come with an insurance cover either.

Now i believe in the process of being out there in a process whatever it, no matter how crazy it sounds probably being the step you should take to open your mind to several other opportunities out there.

If after 400k kilometers the truck is yours, whats the difference between that and doing hire purchase from Stallion motors considering this one youre not even responsible for maintenance?

Call me stupid o, but im willing to bet somewhere down the line one person in this group with you will come and write autobiography of how he started an empire with this so called bad market of a job.

Just watch.

Too bad the only thing schools teach us is to have uncalled ego and absolute entrepreneurial inability.

Abeg no vex for me o.

PS my first job? i was earning 10k a month flogging the streets of lagos, lekki area to be precise and maybe you havent noticed the sun is hotter there than other parts of lagos probably the reflection from the sand. i dont know. i tell you no other job has given me more experience to value ratio like that one did.

If you havent noticed even oil companies are downsizing now cos of the market.

Please tell Mr Carlos waka for this chance and he should please cc. Dangote with it while hes at it.

There is an inherent risk in every business. If handled properly, the life span of those vehicle is about 10yrs. Dangote has an agreement with manufacturer- Aumann with drive and power-train technologies from Daimler Benz.
If u get a bank to finance u on the that same truck, u must have collateralized security with an intrest rate of about 25-30% or if u want to start an entirely different line of biz, u must meet those conditions before banks can lend u. So the truck u inherit can serve as ur collateral while ur sweat equity is ur intrest rate. People do hire purchase in Naija without insurance coverage and stipend from the owner.

tunery004:
U are right sir, some dudes do hold their degrees to high, but I can say that Nigerians are some of the most hard working peeps in the world, I have lots of graduates underemployed (by general standard) I know of graduates earning between 15 to 25k and I can tell u, I met a master degree holder who was earning 27,500. So change the we in ur statement to some or few sir.

That's not true about being the most hard working peeps in the worlds. Our productivity is so low. That's why we can't generate our power nor drill our oil. We have really bad work ethics. Most workers believe it's not their business, therefore, they will do the barest minimum.Bankers to Airline workers- all u see are people who not happy with their jobs; they are just there for the paycheck.

tunery004:
Its easier to call people lazy when u haven't experienced what they have firsthand. Anyone could be a critic but if u are in the same position the writer was, ur assertion would be otherwise.

Bro, just thank God ur woman came back safe and leave those who believed we all were just plain lazy and greedy, like I said they can find their way to Obajana on Monday and take up the offer.

About the 8k, it depends on the distance of your trip, u could get as low as 3k for some trips and this allowance is to be shared with ur driver and two motor boys. Basically, the money belong to the drivers. A lot more I could say, cos I took my time to ask mr Carlos lots of questions, lemme just stop here.

Check out Immediate gratification vs delayed gratification, you are looking for the former while Dangote's program is for the later. U get to inherit his truck and dedicated line for hauling of cement to his distributors after ur apprenticeship... This is haul-to-own program..

tunery004:
Thanks for the corrections, next time I will becos of people like u proof read b4 posting. It easy to seat in front of ur computer and point out mistakes, everyone can do that it doesn't require any special skill. I don't need u putting anything in perspective, its my choice and that's why every offer has its own terms and condition. Am not good with the conditions and I walked away, go back to my post, u will see where I wrote that this is my opinion based on my emotions, way of life and more. So please spare me the details. Not every offer is for me, I make my choices and what u think doesn't count. Thanks

Sophisticated display of idiocy on full HD!

tunery004:
Mr brighter grammar thanks for the observations, but I would have prefer you correct dos mistakes. Even if the truck cost 300 billion dollars, I care less, have only expressed my views on the program and I think am entitled to that, and I do have a job so am not desperate. I bet u are from Ghana cos u said we like freebies? I didn't beg Dangote for money so I wonder were am asking for freebies, that I dont agree to the terms of the job doesn't mean am lazy or want everything on a platter of gold, its my choice. Mtcheeewww

Corrections - I would have preferred not prefer. . The truck costs not cost ... I'm or I am not am.. Where not were... You are going to self- destruct if you don't change your choice or attitude.
Let me put N20m in perspective for you. It takes someone saving N555,555k every month , 36 months to save N20m, so the diffrence
betwn the person who took that job without whining and you in over 500k every month. It might intrest u to Google " sweat equity".

princejenks:
"The only people who owe you a job are your parents!" Really?

Yes cos u aren't entitled to any job, you have to work hard and earn it!

Politicians deceiving Nigerians since 1914!

Nigerians always want freebies! A unit of that truck with attached trailer is about N20million=$87,000 and u get to keep it after 3 yrs if u stick to the terms of ur job agreement . No pain no gain! The only people who owe you a job are your parents!
Btw, your grammatical errors are too much for a university graduate.

Most peeps singing praises for PMB are typing with foreign made phones, tablets and laptops. Ride on foreign made bikes, KEKE NAPEP, and cars. Wear foreign made clothes and shoes, and accessories.. Hypocrites everywhere!!

Violence committed by whoever should be condemned. The op is not only a lier but a hate monger. In Kafanchan in 1987 was it not the burukutu drinking so-called natives that killed the Hausas because of envy? Same in February and May (not August) 1992 in Zangon Kataf. As recent as 2011 too the whole Muslims of Zonkwa were either massacred or expelled. The problem with Chongai (as the southen kaduna people are called) is that they are too lazy and envious. In the whole of Kaduna Central Market for example, NONE of them has a single shop. The businesses are owned and done by Hausas, Igbos and Yorubas. Igbo and Yoruba peolpe who recide in Kaduna can testify to this. The fulanis were never known to be engaged in violence cos it is only their cows that they concerned with, but the drunkards started killing them and their cows, hence they started revenging. All in all, violence is an evil wind that blows nobody any good. So stop spreading half truths that will not help you.

Warped logic! So if people are lazy as u claim, does that give you the right to destroy their lives and property?
Since Igbos and Yorubas are hard working as u claim, how come southerners were all butchered and massacred in those attacks??

EMANY01:
Let me add that that "order" will not just be obeyed because it has been made, proof of (successful) prosecution of the owners of that wealth by the lawfully constituted enforcement agency (EFCC,ICPC and SFU-POLICE) before the order will be considered officially not to talk of compliance any thing other than that is a bust.
While that is on, the associates /agents of the asset owners can and will legally challenge the order which has very little chance of passing legal scrutiny if the agents can show that due and fair processes were not followed by the country making the order.
Conclusion snail baba can engage all the slimy consultants he wants( a throw back to the PTF days ), even if they locate said assets/funds , they can not touch them not to talk of retrieving them.
Come to think of it do you know how near impossible it is to do that here in Nigeria, to speak less of other lands.....

Thank you! Tell them to stop insulting our collective intelligence! We are no dullards and know how things work in saner climes!!

You are either being sentimental or not well informed or both.

Up to 2002, Nigeria local capacity for cement production was far below the national demand and as a matter of necessity must import. In order to encourage local production, the FG introduced 'import matching' policy for cement importers/manufacturers in 2002. The policy was that for verifiable capacity of your planned production facility in Nigeria, you were allowed to import matching quantities of bulk cement for rebagging in Nigeria.

Dangote, Larfage, ibeto and others participated. The policy envisaged gradual reduction of import as local production increased. In the course of implementation, it was alleged that ibeto did not have planned or actual facility in Nigeria to produce cement and should not benefit from the policy, the FG therefore banned Ibeto. Ibeto contested the ban in court and won but by that time, local production had caught up with national demand thus other cement manufacturers had either seized or substantially reduced importation of cement.

Since 2012, that was 10 years after Obj started the policy on local production of cement in 2002, the FG had not issued import licence for cement to any other company except Ibeto that is still enjoying the benefit of his judicial victory.

It is the success of the cement policy that GEJ wanted to replicate in automotive industry which copied the same import matching policy but is currently having false starts.

U are mixing up public sentiments with facts. Ibeto is a small manufacturer compared to Dangote or Lafarge, but they were all grand fathered and Ibeto asked to restore the same grand father clause of " importing bulk cement" to them which was stopped by OBJ..

2n2k:
Regarding the embolden portion, that was same hogwash Ibeto spewed when fighting for the lift of the ban of importation of bagged cement by his company. He said FG was favoring Dangote and that he would crash the price of a bag of cement to below N1,000. Thank God, a court lifted the ban and gave him rights to solely import bagged cement I think till 2017. How much is he selling a bag of cement presently?

Have you asked yourself, if Dangote and Lafarge had not made Nigeria largely self sufficient in local production of cement, Nigeria would still have been importing all its cement needs with attendant pressure on foreign exchange demand. Think of the ease of pressure on forex demand if Nigeria does not need to import refined petroleum products or rice.

If Dangote succeeds in building his planned refinery now and we stop importation of fuel, some Nigerians with warped sense of reasoning will only see his region and religion rather than the economic benefits to the country.

You are a junior student of Naija history. Dangote and Lafarge were given import waivers to import cement before they started manufacuring.. Some of those companies are still importing today!!

Wahala Nonsense!!

Malignantly narcissistic

Efcc that couldn't prosecute ibori, Efcc that couldn't get a good judgement against Lucky igbinedion, Efcc that presented a flawed case in which Maina who stole over 30 billion was asked to pay 750 000, Efcc that couldn't send Fani kayode to Jail, Efcc that made Aturu a free man after stealing billions and so many failed cases.

I support Buhari if he abadons EFCC and ICPC but should put a good machinery in place to recover those monies else people like Diezani will go scot free with all her loots.

Fools will never understand that democracy involves rule of law.. Intl financial insts cannot RESPECT orders to freeze accounts. There must properly served and executed "forfeiture and seizure order" from a competent court of jurisdiction.. Even though Naija is a Zooland, every other place IS not...
