That is actually for two people serving
So 950naira per head per sitting.
One little child can also manage along with the meal.
That was my full day earning some years back as a civil servant.
Q
1900 Naira now is approximately 3dollars.

Nigeria and corruption is like 5&6 bank staff do alert the EFCC and the EFCC will settle the bank staff. Guys were afraid that BTC might give them the LUNA treatment reducing their money to ashes to they chose between the devil and the deep blue sea. With simple Dash app arbitrage some goons made millions of naira as profit. So EFCC must eat also. They hard guys prefer half bread than nothing. After all after the payment they become allies. And business continues as usual. Yahoo guys are smatter than that they are only using the most useful loss management and safest port.

At times if you do not unlace and remove your shoes, removing your trousers will be an herculean task. Beside you must first learn to take steps before walking, then running and if possible flying. Abiola tried his best. But I think he could have failed on the long run because you can't run government like a private business. Where some tribes believe that stealing is not corruption while others believe that they are born to rule and some others think they are the most intellectual, some other tribe think they run the economy and commerce of the nation. So who bows for who? And for what reason? Some believe they have all the population, so how do you negotiate? Election is a game of numbers. Structures and personality alongside personal interests go a long way. At the end the best at rigging and manipulation may win this one.

Technically speaking PYO is the most qualified for this job. But it might not be his turn yet. Nigerians will be too lucky to have him just yet. But just like Daniel of the Babylonians PYO is too good to be true as far as some people are concerned. With good support osinbanjo will do very well. Politicians and public office holders. Civil servants and military can only be as good and as well mannered as the society permits them.

Maybe we can manage him. Tinubu gave all Lagos students free waec examination forms for years as a sitting Governor. No payment of fees and levies at all primary and secondary level. LASU was one of the cheapest state owned tertiary institutions then. He had very capable hands to work with and he knows how to spot and sort them for maximum benefit and usefulness. Just like Ajimobi Tinubu can be very frugal with funds and it resources as those who truely know him. He Tinubu is one of the best guys out there wjennit comes to delaying gratification. As a billionaire of his status he is living far below his stature and wealth. He understands very well how to trace tangible funds. No one dare go away with money made in Lagos with full chest. You must divide it with Lagos or they tax you to the ground. Tinubu is a friend maker and very jovial even at the point of death. He will walk on bare foot and forget about him being a billionaire if situation warrants. His core strength is building people. Also Akala learnt from him Ajimobi Also learnt from him. Security guys working with him can attest to this. He will ask you are you married. Have you built a house if you haven't he will build one for you or buy you one before you can start his job so that you can do the job whole heartedly. A camera man stumbled on him at an occasion the cameraman was short of words he just managed to say 'I am broke I need money' he was not even sure if Tinubu heard him. After two hours when the occasion was about to end Tunubu's aid gave the camera man an envelope. It was 3 bundle of 1000 naira new notes. He didn't get the chance to thank him because his aids had to do their jobs security details was tight the camera mam was only lucky. God can use him. We can support him. Besides he respects his wife and he is a good family man. I never see him drunk. He is almost all of the time clear headed all cost evennif it means sniffing inhalers.

When Piqui o pikin go carry shakara mama. No be trophy he carry so.

These guys are billionaires in dollars. That is just a stipend to them. The last time I checked Wike was said to be worth 880billion Naira. You know politician can also disguise well. Hausa's and Northerners don't usually pretend or lie. Unlike their southern counterparts. If one oil well seeded to a family in Nigeria can make them one of the richest in Africa, then what are we supposed to be saying of Niger Delta governors? It is our money let them be dispossessed of it.

It is better for lecturers to get you shaved than to allow Nigeria economy to shave sense in and out of your destiny due to lack of sense. If dangote desires to keep stylish hair it will be crystal clear that he knows what he is doing because of his antecedents. But a nonentity no. Let him get an identity first. And solve a problem that will better the lives of a million people then then he can have his absolute freedom that is the price.

When ever a relationship is going on smoothly especially with a lady, that is the best time to start keeping guard. A woman will test run how to deliver the heaviest slap on your face with just one finger. But never get too worried the five full fiery finger are coming with a blaze and a daze someday. It will happen it's just a matter of time. So cut that one finger and spend no time explaining why.

This can be a two way coin. Atiku is now heavy weight in the presidential match. Fronting Osinbajo is like cheap win for Atiku. Majority of Nigerian voters will not see the good in Osinbajo yet. As most are still very busy with partisanship and party politics laced with ethnic sentiments. Whatever Buhari markets will fail, what ever Tinubu supports will fail also because they have done their worst to Nigerians already. Osinbajo might also fail just because he is a child of circumstances. Besides Atiku will claim a good part of the north and some south. Hausas, fulanis and the north has never been known to turn their back against their blood and it's not going to happen just yet. Besides the south is always divided. As for the few elites who don't want Atiku their opinions may not fly. I see Atiku beating what ever comes from APC hands-down and flawlessly, APC had their chance but they lost it. APC have done too much of a Damage within a Very short period. I See Atiku Emerging As the new president. Nigerians may not trust osinbajo yet. He might still have some Tinubu blood in him.

I wish I understood how life works much earlier. During a university strike back in the days I had the opportunity to work with a major car dealer who also runs an automobile servicing firm. I assist the mechanics and was just as good as a young mechanic after some months strike was called off had to go back to school. What I learnt there was better than any Nigerian university certificate just within few months of strike. I wish I focused on automobile even if it meant dropping out of university. My journey would have been faster.

The truth is very open and crystal clear. Tinubu will have to use all his strength and resources to deliver his own Lagos this time around. The endsars boys will male sure they retire him. If you can barely deliver your own Lagos. And lost Oyo a neighbouring state what on earth do you think will deliver Nigeria to you? Your imams? Alfas? Jazz man? Prophets? Or pastors? Or is it blood ritual? Politics is not cocaine pushing or crude oil stealing business. Politics is the master and end of all games. The people involved are heavy weights and not under dogs that can be assassinated like goats or poisoned like rats. Please any one who knows Tinubu should please tell him he is about to retire, let him not loose his fortune and good will along. Atiku is the next president except Jonathan comes up. The north will not release power in the name of party APC or PDP alike makes no difference when it comes to their man. Any other person apart from Jonathan coming from APC will be a very huge Bonus for Atiku. We can only pray they perform.

In order for this type of hunger not to continue for another 8years, we all must do things differently. Especially in the political sphere. The rich are ruthlessly feeding on the poor. Not every one is built with intellectual genius and exclusive brain power to know how to beat inflation or prepare for some life wrecking government policy or ability to read demographs and interpreted signal. Some are sons of Issachar minded they are demi gods in reading and interpreting times and season but not all. Let's be our neighbours keeper. Hunger destroys deeper than sledge.

Jesus didn't Said that statement you this agent of Satan

No one comes through the father except through Me.

......John 6:44 No one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me, and [then] I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day......

John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

The Spirit of the father made a Christ out of flesh and blood not only because the Spirit of the father dwells in that body but also due to the fact that He Christ and the father are one. The father lives in him and he lives in the father. Now take a moment to reason the fatal consequence of the father living in Him and him not living in the father and vice versa. These things are deep. You must be totally submerged in the infilling of the spirit, not knee deep not even neck deep. It must be total. Because flesh and blood can not reveal this things to you. They are divine wisdom. But its okay I mean its still very normal to start with things that you can relate and reason along with. The main reasons why Jesus referred to the apostles as children. Happy children's day. Total obedience to God helps you grow into full status and stature in Christ. I mean Total obedience.

The truth like always never taste good. He has so much confidence now after all he is now bam bam with the big boys. But let any one without sin cast the first stone. Only if a sinner can sincerely,willingly and resolutely go and sin no more even the prisons are now tired of prisoners.

notofraudster:
You are well informed sir

Oriyomi Hamzat is a common criminal even worse than those he usually accused

Imagine a broadcaster threatening people he brought to his station with jail

Imagine a broadcaster passing judgement & condemning people on air without court trial

This man is one of the tools used by state government to embezzle state funds

This man got several contracts from state government including printing of books whereas he's not a printer in anyway, as if that's not enough the project was awarded to him at over inflated rates

This man always do coverup jobs for those thugs terrorising the city of Ibadan

Mind you, he do collect 5k to 10k as form fee from those people who brought issues to his program tagged 'kokoro alate' whereas he will be shouting on radio that they are doing it for free

This guy named Oriyomi Hamzat is not clean in anyway & should face the music

Speak for yourself not other. Some will either conform than be transformed and be the agent of change. Some are already tending towards becoming religious fanatics. Religious conviction is a very personal thing. Let your light so shine before men is what the bible recommends. No one has the right to force his belief down the throat of others and expect them to take it in hook, line and sinker. Jesus said no one can come to me except the ones that have be touched and brought by the father. ......John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.... . So if someone has not come to Christ yet God has not touched them to come. When the leader of an organization is verybopen to criticism and positive changes how much more the followers but the reverse seems to be the case here. Wisdom is the principal thing. Yielding to IPOB's warning of not bringing up a crusade at a crusial restless time such as this is also wisdom. Seeing the positive side of technological development and leveraging on it is understanding. Dressing up appropriately to fit your society and the rigours of day to day challenges is simply put knowledge. I come in peace. I love DLCF back then on campus and youth corps. Very sound campus tutorials, matured and spirit filled inspirational sermons. Brilliant and intelligent lot. Selfless and efficiently effective welfarism.

This might be a conflict of interest between the APC and PDP. Hamzat is already drifting towards PDP. Quite a lot of allegations are against him with handful number of misdeed and impunity on his part. But for sure the people like him and trust him some how. He is a bitter sweet. Everyone should know by now that politicians and their stalwarts are never to be trusted. Issues like the printing of note books and text books over hyped contract indicting Hamzat and Makinde, the issue of his cooperative thrift and credit society where people are being coherced and tamed with all forms of unprintable words to say the least besides trying to upturn judicial system on a case as sensitive as a murder case. He also said he was threatened and got an order from above to keep mute on the case. The question is should a private station take sides with a government. Everyone condemns government owned stations of always being 101% partisan why private station? The more reason channels television is more respected till date because the could not be bought or bankrolled by any government unlike some others.

If you want to work do your job with no special preference to any one no sacred cows. The excesses of security agents in the south is over bearing. They obviously can not dare to try it with northerners. Why victimize the south so glaringly? Why the selective witch hunting. I have said it before and will say it again let security operatives who serve the interest of elites to the detriment of the nation be ware! They can enjoy the impunity while it lasts. But I can assure them it won't last.

Has any one told them that what is happening is cash pull inflation? How can this rate ever match the loss incurred due to exchange rate? Now that the dollar is gaping up against the naira. Do they think they can fool foreign investors to displace dollar for the naira especially with the unstable government and its policy? Must they wait till its 1000 naira per dollar for them to take the right step? Now that there is a very profitable triangular arbitrage in favour of the dollar how will the CBN correct that.

what did u do for a living?

It is just a situation you have found yourself in. Even many graduates are in worst situation. So it is certainly not about God, Parents or education, it is all about knowledge. Know the truth and it shall set you free. With God all things are possible. Take a u-turn what ever you are doing now and that you believe now might be wrong. Or at least get clearer understanding or deeper insight. Pray and have faith. Though times never last, hot water will surely get cool. If the sun beat you so tey last last evening will come. At times for a couples of years, your best obtion will be wake up work, eat and sleep that does not mean you are bleeped. Its better than hospital or prison. Even those who come out of hospital sick bed and prison can turn to have a better live than they expect. So relax and know that God is God. Work rest eat sleep and exercise. Then study and research. You might be the next big break or the next big thing to happen. Its just a matter of time. So cut that crap.

Nobody is Innocent, not man, not even god... But taking what you can not give is bad. Leaving a place or a life worst than you have met it is bad.

There is a couple who are also both visually impaired at LTV Lagos. They have been married for so long. They have beautiful children and one of the happiest families I have ever met. Both of them are journalist. The very first time I met them I asked over a million question. They inspire me a lot.

No no be IBO, na Ibibio, no be Ibibio, na ibisa, no be Ibisa, na ibiase, no be ibiase, na ibisi, since everything like IB been dey your head you for kuku talk say na Ibadan or ibarapa or ibefun... Asawo work whey don dey before the days of ADAM. Make she just dey careful make dem no take am sub.

When you follow rich kids drink alcohol and join them take drugs if all of una mad together. Rich kid parent can still afford to send them to the best rehab facilities and straight to Harvard. But you see you poor mad man of a a pikin will mad well well for market until kidnappers, ritualist or unknown government clear and forward you go where you no want to go. Every seed before marriage will germinate and grow stronger after marriage. Marriage will provide the enabling environment for either good or bad whichever the case may be. Just look how far he would have gone with his deligent wife but for alcohol.

Always screen the type of advice you take. Do mpt betray trust its a very scarce commodity. Most people will break neck than pay back debt. Only give out as loams what you are willing to forgo. Love your neighbour as yourself not more than yourself. As for trust reserve that to only God Almighty. In this kind of economy it is the wise that borrows and the foolish that lends. No bank or insurance or loan company can survive without favourable government policy. I learnt how to stop lending financial favours the hard way.

No wonder Nigeria could not meet up with new OPEC quarter. Every where you go they will tell you they have bought oil from Nigeria! How? Nigeria international black market. These people are making money more than Nigeria from Nigerian resources illegally. Every where is impoverished with more poverty to come in a matter of months. But all we see is Election, Tinubu, Osinbajo and Buhari. We don't need to wake up. More people need to fall below the poverty benchmark so that they can speak and fight as one.

At that time. The military was at the edge of revolting especially the army. Babangida escaped plot by his own trusted boys twice. Buhari was planning to travel for lesser hajj. Dodan barracks was evidently on fire. Bihari in quote took the bread from people without any alternative, was using sharia law in practical sense. And still under pressure to Islamize the nation. Buhari's right hand man was overstepping his boundary. Used to treat Babangida as a far right man. Babangida was only stating the obvious and it happened. Bihari was never desperate for power but he was super persistent. Its either his way or no way.

Solid and befitting road constructed as regards the terrain. But there is a reason why civilization has not swept through some areas. Men of those generation might genuinely not know how to go about the challenges and disaster. But this generation boasts of vast knowledge and advanced technology. But Alas! The ocean is coming back. The poles are drifting. The climates are changing. Wherever you see loose sand huge body of water moved from there. It will come back its just a matter of time.

There is a reason why the bible said do not lend money to your suffering brother on usury, And that he that hide or keep out of reach or far away food or whatever can be conveniently given to your brother by you. Or tell him to come the next day when you can conveniently give him on the spot will have his abode full of curses and misfortune.
