Will put my baby in the schools creche. When they close will be with my baby till the secondary section closes. Inside the 30k my TP is like 300 everyday, plus lunch like #200 plus 27k for my baby's creche for the term. �. I'm still thinking of what actually I should do.

Find out if there is a discount for teachers at the creche. Most schools offer discount to their staff.

NgeneUkwenu:
So are you suggesting because of the expected demeanor by the military men, we should allow Wike and his gang of murderers to continue to roam the streets of Rivers?

Don't you think they will still turn around and blame Buhari for inaction?

You are right sha. The violence in that place has warranted the deployment of troops long time before now.

Same with the violence being wrecked by Fulani herdsmen.

But Buhari is just to slow with decisions. I don't know if it is the structure of the presidency that is not making information get to him on time or he is just confused.

NgeneUkwenu:
Can't they deploy The military there on permanent basis? Declare a state of emergency in the affected local governments until normalcy returns?

Wike and PDP will tag the move political and cry to the high heavens.

The military guys will forget their mandate and objective the following week and start harassing innocent people.

They will start collecting money from Okada and other people struggling to make a living.

One will start seeing people doing frog jump on a regular basis.

Our police force is stretched thin and grossly inadequate and incompetent, until issues go out of hand.

We need to do massive recruitment into the police force or just swallow our pride and go ahead with state police.

The police structure is not just working.

first class material that couldn't comprehend what Ben Bruce what saying... You political hallelujah

The reverse is the case. Go and read their exchange, research the facts and then come back here to thank me.

Meche33:
First class my ass.... an hausa man with a first class is equivalent to a third class holder in the southeast

Continue living in fool's paradise. It is allowed.

Etuagievin:
. Nigerians are full of praises for their non-performing politicians who deluded them daily. How has being an intelligent first class Governor translate into development of his state.

Oga use your head. So because he graduated with first class mean within 2 years of being a governor, Kaduna state will automatically turn to New York.

It is gradual, and the man is sure setting a solid foundation for economic turn around for the state.

Kaduna state is one of the best governed and not owing.

Kentura:
seriously thaa hausa nigga can't win Ben Murray Bruce in a debate.. He should just give it up and focus on advising his dullard president on what to do.

Must you put a tribal slur into everything?

El Rufai is very intelligent and a first class material.

He also walks his talks, unlike the twitter senator that is more active on twitter than the Senate chambers.

honourhim:
Is it not in this Buhari's government that dollar went so high? What are you even talking about?

Jonathan left dollar at 199 naira, Buhari came and took it to 530 naira and later brought it down to the current 360 naira.

As far as i am concerned Jonathan was a huge failure, Buhari is not yet a success, we are still watching him. He is trying but we cant clap for him yet. He needs to try more..

Let me help you a little. Exchange rate to some extent is not arbitrarily fixed. It all depends on your balance of trade and state of the economy.

Exchange rate of dollar to naira at the parallel market was already sliding towards 300 before Jonathan left, chiefly due to the crash in the international price of crude that made Nigerian economy to slide into recession. Dollar to naira was never 199 when Jonathan left. That was the CBN rate that was never accessible.

Just the same way the CBN rate is currently 305, but the market rate hovers around 360.

yanshDoctor:
its a big lie. Nigeria cannot consume 10million litre per day. we are not drinking fuel.

Continue making uninformed utterances.

yanshDoctor:
mister, we are not talking if a decade here. less down 5 years. we have more death which closer to birth ratio as well. the growth you are talking about is insignificant to cause the much change you are pointing at.

...for your information, within this period you called insignificant, our consumption of petroleum products has gone up more than 200%.

Omeokachie:
Small boy, did you read the counter from BMB?

“Your dislike of the late Yar’adua may have clouded your judgment. I made no mention of the ‘Abuja light railway’. My tweet referred to the Abuja-Kaduna railway which is a product of the Jonathan administration. I am happy to publicly debate this with you.”


Pray politicians dont play poker with your life and future while you are here playing with sand.

....and did you read the sound analysis of the journalist that did the news?

The report concluded by setting the facts right, after first reporting both claims.

Go back and read it to completion. Don't be a lazy reader.

yanshDoctor:
that's not an excuse as the oil is going up the dollars earnings should increase which should as well strengthened the naira

Hss the oil gone up to what it was then? The 100dollars/barrel example you cited. Has international price of a barrel of oil gone up to $100?

Is the population now same as at what we have then? Or don't you know increase in population results in increase in consumption.

Is the daily consumption of petroleum products now same with what we have then?

Is the daily demand for dollars for imports same as at then, with what we have now??

Pls put all these factors in your calculation for people to take it meaningful.

yanshDoctor:
lol. i do believe in sarcasm very well. buhari and north must complete their 8years.

since their body has been itching to get power at all cost. they are untrained, and unintelligent to govern no nation. buhari have expose their hypocrisy and shows how unenlightened they are


2012 Oil Was $111.67, Fuel Price With Subsidy N65 & Without Subsidy N141

When Jonathan attempted to remove subsidy there was a nationwide protest from north and West.

and at the time price of petrol increased from 65 naira ($0.40; £0.26) per litre to at least 141 naira in filling stations, and a barrel of crude was $111.67.

Now a barrel of crude is $69 with subsidy at N145 and we are told without subsidy it might get to N200.

the question now is what of the oil price get to $111? Nigerians will buy fuel at N1000?

the Buhati government failed in all ramification. people like oshiomohle what big mouth and ugly face. we are not seeing them to condemn this government.

And you think you are smart?

What was the dollar exchange rate as at that time and now?

Or don't you know that Nigeria imports the bulk of her petroleum products? Which means the landing cost of the product is hugely influenced by the exchange rate.

iamrealdeji:
Tunde Idiagbon was the only soldier Ibrahim Babangida ever feared because Idiagbon put him in detention countless times.
Idiagbon was to be made EFCC chairman by Obasanjo but he was poisoned by corrupt politicians and never accomplished his mission

Bros! Which year was EFCC formed? Which year did Idiagbon die?

psychologist:
Some many things wrong in one picture

1: Wtf is those security agent doing there? preventing people from running after the locomotive or Wat? Am not understanding

2: why on earth are we having Chinese flag waving instead of nigeria's

3: the third pics shows the true nature of Buhari's government, notice how Buhari was posing for the camera, and amaechi was cut unaware still talking to him, that will mean that they aren't even interested in the people waving at them from unset, until the cameraman was ready to take the shot


Proudly wailing
Drops mic

1. The security is an outer security perimeter of the president. You want the president uncovered for someone to shoot an RPG at him?

2. The flag you saw is not Chinese flag but that of CCECC, the construction company handling the project.

3. Buhari is not posing. It seems you did not consider that the president faces hundreds of camera clicks each day. Lots of photo journalists and enthusiasts are in that place struggling to take his picture. Someone in his position takes picture just for protocol purposes. He go don already tire for pictures.

melvin0004:
rented crowd

Rented crowd in the North? Keep deceiving yourself.

The president does not need to rent crowd anywhere. The office is an automatic crowd puller.

modik:
... As if you begged him to apply, or the job description was never made known to him!

Stop beefing.

Even if someone eagerly prays for and applies for a job, that does not mean the person should not be shown love, concern and encouragement if the workload seems enormous.

If na APC or Buhari attempt this foolery, the whole social media would have been on fire!

One would have been seeing comments like these:-

...APC invites online e-warriors for 2018 planning.

...Buhari zombies offered rice and stew to refire their propanganda.

...I can see sarrki sitting at the front with rapt attention for the task ahead

...Amaechi restrategizes on how to destabilise Rivers against 2019 election.

...5m naira was given to each e-warrior direct from CBN vaults.

...Buhari is cursed, the only employment created is that of e-warrior for APC

...Buhari is a disaster to Nigeria,

...Buhari zombies and BMC invited for briefing , etc

Hypocrisy is what will not make this country develop so fast.

This is totally callous and wrong of the governor. No regards at all for the lives lost except for the display for press.

In such a short time to the sad incident, he is already hosting social media influencers to dinner.

Social media influencers? Imagine such nonsense.

Someone that is supposed to be having meeting with security agencies on how to tackle the myriads of security problem in his state.

It is now obvious that Wike is more interested in politics than governance. Rivers don enter serious one chance.

***
Soot has also descended on Port Harcourt and the governor is turning a blind eye to that. All these our leaders sef.

Caseless:
the most expensive thing you find difficult to buy is "sense".

You seem to have time, this one na robotic person na E no fit change, until reprogrammed.

This is good. He needs to continue speaking authoritatively in this manner over all issues. Especially on the killings tagged "fulani herdsmen killing".

Nigerians want to hear their leaders talk and show some action.

That was the way Obasanjo was able to achieve some results and favorable public opinion.

deomelo:
PMB gave the job and 3 vital ministries to Fashola for a reason.

Before declaring to contest the 2015 election, PMB personally flew to Lagos to invite Fashola, the first person he personally visited and invited and on top of that, he handed over his campaign's money and finances to Fashola to handle as the Finance Director and he went to his first G7 meeting with Fashola.


PMB saw talent, refinement and competence in Fashola hence tasking him with the most critical and complex jobs in his administration and their absolute trust that he'll deliver accordingly.

What we witnessed today and how his ministry responded is was very new and refreshing, it makes you hopeful and proud that in our lifetime, we are looking at a timely and responsive government ministries and agencies in Nigeria collaborating and responding collectively to swiftly address a common problem with minimal disruptions.


I'm very very hopeful.

Thumbs up!

You are very correct with the bold parts.

ManMountain:
If you follow the way some people on SM insults Fashola and this govt, one will offend God.

These are people that were comfortable with darkness for days under past administrations without explanation but now insult govt that is really working on fixing things in that sector at the slightest excuse of power cut for few hours in a day.

I just dey pity the man.

Discos, Gencos and Transmission company will hit him from both sides.

National Assembly and gas suppliers will hit him from the top.

The citizenry is not providing any respite and psychological encouragement. They are also hitting him from below at every opportunity. Saboteurs are also hitting him from below.

In fact, the guy dey see pepper from all sides. I just hope he won't breakdown in his attempt to please everybody.

Contrary to people abusing him, the guy sure has a resilient brain. His work load is just too enormous.

Restored at 4.05am, just after my initial comment.

Area covered by Eko Electricity Distribution Company on Lagos mainland.

I never imagined they will restore light so quick due to the pessimistic comments flying around on social media.

Chai, Nigerians sha. With the comments, one would think the whole grid and everything don scatter.

This is a good way of giving tax payers update on issues. Kudos!

Government responsiveness seems to be improving.

I definitely know that grid collapse would have occurred many times in times past without the information going round as it is now due to improved communication and media tools.

And those times, govt just didn't give a damn.

Fashola is really trying with the Ministry of Power and works. And if given the necessary support by Nigerians and the National assembly, he will deliver.

He is showing a passion unrivaled by previous ministers. And giving regular updates.

But he needs to do more as regard metering.

Yian1:
maybe Yes, but that would be after the bad eggs that are leading us are eradicated/eliminated.

The people is a reflection of the type of leaders they get.

70% of Nigerians are like the leadership. Some of them have not just had the opportunity to demonstrate their dishonesty, greed, selfishness, corrupt ways and incompetence at the Federal/State level.

If you want to be sincere, you'll see these traits in their little areas of influence. Be it in a local community association, church, mosque, old students association, school students' union/departmental associations, etc

Same story of misappropriation, dishonesty, incompetence in leading, among other traits we see among those in governance positions.

Those doing well in leadership positions at the Federal/State levels are those in the competent and selfless 30% category.

To make Nigeria better, we need to push up the number/percentage of honest, competent and hardworking Nigerians. If we do this, we'll increase the probability of getting good leaders in places of authority.

Before starting at the top, change yourself and all those around you first. And let them too change those around them and let it cascade all around.

This wishful thinking of getting one or two good leaders in place, working with thousands of greedy, dishonest and incompetent folks will not work.

We need a massive National reorientation and enlightenment.

Caseless:
I don't like the rift between these guys. But they're politicians and will always appear so for one reason: themselves and their interest.

Yes, same here. I like both of them.

But Amaechi should cool down and let whoever wants to contest to do so without arm-twisting anybody.

He should just support whoever he wants and as a party leader ensure there is no bitter rift after the primaries.

A primary election with many heavyweight contenders that is well managed always makes a party popular even before the main election.

All these self acclaimed political Godfathers in Nigeria are not innately democratic.

Since independence till date, they have been engaging the instrument of imposition of preferred candidate instead of campaigning for the person by showing why the person is a better candidate.

And the funniest part is that they have always refused to learn from history that imposition of candidates always causes problems for the party.

PDP's 2015 election loss was also attributable to the imposition of GEJ as a sole candidate that led to the ease out of a number of disgruntled heavyweights from the party.

Imposition should be resisted, let everyone have a fair playing field, and let the most popular and strategic win. Simple

magoo10:
Secondly, if you knew I could not win the primaries why not just allow me fail honourably if I decide to contest

There is no element of democratic standard within the apc, it is all brigandage and hooliganism.

Stop deceiving yourself. It's like that in all political parties including the PDP.

We have not fully imbibed the tenets and spirit of democracy.

We are just skimming the surface.

Cool, not bad.

GAZZUZZ:
in the USA 5years for most good brands.

For real? Pls do you have an idea how much one of those American specs cost for a 75amps?

I change batteries every 1.5 yrs. I don tire.

The one I bought Oct last year is already showing some unfriendly signs.

...you didn't talk bout my second question. Want to get a mini-van, but mi lady doesn't like Sienna.

GAZZUZZ:
weather is much cooler especially early in the morning, car batteries on their last lap will give up easily.

If your car does not start due to a failing battery, replace it.

Pls how long is a good battery supposed to last on the average?

Also, kindly share your opinion on how rugged Odyssey 2005 upwards is.

To some people we should keep building official residence every 4 years.
