Career › Re: How Do You Cope With A Company That Owes Salary? by Akalia(m): 3:00pm On Oct 28
DenreleDave:
Dear Nairalanders,

Have you ever had any experience working with a company thay owes salary for as much as 2 to 4 months?

If Yes, how did you scale through this issue pending when you are applying for other options?

To be sincere, this is my first experience and I must confess, it is affecting my mental health. I have never been known to borrow money but since I started working for this company, I have been borrowing to feed even as begging for data.....

Worst still, this happened to me when I have just rented a new apartment and I am basically exhausted.

Kindly share tips on how you basically survive this kind of experience especially when another job is yet to come.
Is the pay good? Is it an indigenous company, foreign, or multinational?

The wheel in this case is the Stg-44 which made the rapid improvement of firepower for every infantry rifle man.

The Stg-44 is the wheel

Every other semi automatic rifle is just borrowing and improving on its design.
Stg-44 is the wheel and also the first ever made assault rifle in this context. Other assault rifles that were built more advanced after STG 44 , though they were inspired by the assault rifle concept demonstrated by the the STG design-is my testament that the wheel can be modified.

No other gunsmith or inventor ever spent precious time and resources to re-make the STG that was already invented and in use but rather they copied the assault riffle concept of the STG 44 (the wheel) and modified the concept.

Bro if you don't understand my drift up to this stage of argument, please let's end the argument at this juncture. I am a freethinker, call me maverick if you like, I am typical outside the box thinker.

Have a nice day ahead.

You don't reinvent the wheel.

If it ain't broken, don't try to fix it.

And as per the German Stg-44 , it was what gave German infantry forces an edge in the battlefields.

WW2 allied Generals found out quickly that it required a force ratio of 10 Russians to every one German infantry to have an equalising balance. The Americans needed 4 men for every German infantry man while the Brits needed 2 for every one German infantry.

It is this weapon that made the battlefield skewed heavily to German forces just as the German Panza tank could easily take out 3-4 American tanks.
The wheel can be modified to be applied for other purposes, that is not re-inventing the wheel.
Now imagine if other inventors of assault rifles did not do such an ingenious work by making assault rifles more advanced than the German STG even though the STG was a big inspiration; imagine if the German STG was the only assault rifle in existence today.
Imagine if the first ever built car model is still in use today and there is no advancement in car technology. Imagine if the first aircraft model built by the wright brother is still in use today because there is no advancement in aircraft technology. Get my drift?

The German STG is no longer useful to a modem infantry because it lacks the capacity to perform by all modern standards of an assault rifle.

Even the AK-47 that was built in 1946/1947 still proves to be relevant till date but the German STG built 3 years before is now considered obselete.

Yes, you don't re-invent the wheel but you can modify the wheel. Yes, you don't try to fix something, if it's not broken but you can also upgrade to modernize.

The AK design was stolen from the German WW2 StG,-44 semi automatic rifle that was introduced into service as early as 1943.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StG_44
No doubt but the AK-47 beat its German inspiration by all indices used to rate the performance of an assault rifle.

My point is, if you are gonna copy something try to improve upon the copy.
Science/Technology › Re: DG-103: Nigeria's Indigenous Assault Rifle by Akalia(m): 8:29am On Oct 28
Simply say it's an AK-47 variant or type model of AK-47. Commendable.
Car Talk › Re: Is Owning A Car Really A Liability? by Akalia(m): 7:54am On Oct 28

I am Rapmoney aka WarriParrot
OP you are damn right. That's why I hurriedly bought a Nigerian used 2001 Toyota.

The car is in over 50% good shape. Small small I go dey fix everything in it that needs fixing.

When my wife was sick and was admitted at the hospital, that car made movement to and fro the hospital easy for me. It also saved me cost of chartering transportation each day.

Owning a car is a convenient necessity, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Politics › Re: Umahi Was Removed From The Microphone Mid-Speech At APC Rally by Akalia(m): 2:08pm On Oct 27
If I were Umahi I wouldn't had mixed politics with ministerial duties.

Now he is very unpopular in the southeast and also not considered a member in the political block that he restlessly seeks their validation and acceptance.

It's a shame!!

Kudos the NAF leadership.
Politics › Re: Remi Tinubu Popping What Appears To Be Pills Into Tinubu’s Mouth - Sowore by Akalia(m): 6:50pm On Oct 25
Honestly I feel for Tinubu. Why is he clinging to power at the expense of his ailing health.

People surrounding him including his own dear wife and son do not love him enough to advice him to retire.

They are using him like a workhorse. Not fair.

Anybody on Nairaland that is not comfortable with Tinubu second term after swearing in should drink Poison and just die.

Mods , I know you will delete this message but when they abuse president you are happy to post it.

It shall not be well with you Mods for being one sided
The crumbs falling down Tinubu's table of corruption and leadership ineptitude of which you eat would seize
the day Tinubu seizes to be president.

You will return to the majority of the masses that will oppose the successive regime because of hunger. No worry na turn by turn.
You too go lament and wail in successive regimes.

Useless Rangers.. Sums up the problem in Nigeria
They are not useless, they can't display the level of performance they are not on. The Algerian team is on a higher level of predictable performance.
Sports › Re: Mc Algers Vs Enugu Rangers: CAF Champions League (3 - 0) On 23rd October 2026 by Akalia(m): 9:56pm On Oct 23
Our football science in Nigeria is not modern yet. Our teams lack the capacity to rise to the occasion when it matters the most.

Business › Re: Why Do Nigerians Have Apathy Towards Insurance? by Akalia(m): 8:32am On Oct 23
We are not yet civilized to come to that level where insurance becomes a neccesity. Lack of trusts giving how most insurance companies do operate is a factor to consider too.
Politics › Re: Youths Destroy APC Banners In The North For Not Being Paid After Campaign by Akalia(m): 10:29pm On Oct 22
Mugus. Una never see something.

Even if APC offers me the kind of mouth watering money that I have never touched before I won't take it.

Gosh that political party disgusts me, seeing what they have deliberately done to many Nigerians in less than 4 years.h

That uncle is a good uncle and definitely from the mother's side. angry

This is a very good typical example of --"Don't dash me fish, instead,teach me how to catch the fish by myself"

The young man must have been going around cursing his uncle, unknowing what he must have mistaken to be his greatest predicament would later turn out to be a blessing in disguise m
Any good uncle can help irrespective of whether he is from mother's side or father's side.

Based on personal experience, na uncles and aunts from my father's side wey don help me pass.

Politics › Re: You Cannot Ask Moses To Go Back To Egypt - Tinubu On Return Of Subsidy by Akalia(m): 8:57am On Oct 20
The biblical Moses was inspired of GOD, he was not driven by self-interest.

Tinubu, removing fuel subsidy without making provisions necessary to cushion the negative ripple effects on the economy shows you are not a deep critical thinker as you claim.


You are an impulsive decision maker, you never think anything through before action.
Politics › Re: Wike’s Son Jordan Dragged To EFCC Over Alleged $2.1 Million Land Deal by Akalia(m): 8:52am On Oct 20
ObnoxiousGandi:
It is not supporting him it is a fact. I have one some 74k pounds through bank account in the Uk. The guy went to Nigeria. Efcc arrested him and took him to court. Firstly EFCC cannot put PND on a UK bank account. The court didn't do anything because the money was paid to him in the UK and in pounds too. They asked us to settle. At last Revolut bank was the one that paid back the money, like very very luckily for me. Even UK police said it is a civil case that I used my hand to send the money. Those guys were played and their greediness also killed them
ok

ObnoxiousGandi:
I can tell 💯 the case is dead on arrival. They went and paid cash to him in London. The efcc won’t do anything about it. The company too won’t even involve interpol because it is money laundering to be carrying 2m dollars in cash in the Uk
In order words you support wike's son in this regard?
Politics › Re: Wike’s Son Jordan Dragged To EFCC Over Alleged $2.1 Million Land Deal by Akalia(m): 8:35am On Oct 20
His father is very unpopular to many Nigerians, so there are people who would what to get at his father and now here comes the opportunity.

I feel the naive greedy boy was baited and he took the bait. His father's status can't save him.

This turncoat is not safe. He may not see the end of the war, he should kept a low profile just like the others who defected. They are all traitors and i hate traitors.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Ukraine Defies Trump And Launches One Of Its Biggest Drone Attacks On Russia by Akalia(m): 3:44am On Oct 19
Russia should end this war quickly by taking out Zelensky. In such Russia should shell the whole of Ukraine's capital and break the will of the people to fight back.
Christianity Etc › Re: Some People Don’t Even Pray Or Fast But Things Are Working Perfectly Ok For Them by Akalia(m): 8:05pm On Oct 18
Stephen0mozzy:
That's because the universe has laws. There are financial laws, laws of cause and effect.

If you live in line with those laws, you'll find success.

You cannot blackmail or bully God into making you successful. Not by prayers. Not by fasting. And definitely not by sowing seeds.
True, true. I know this sort of argument is usually put forward by mostly Christians who want God to do all the work to be successful for them.

Even almighty Jehovah had to leave his comfort zone to work on order to create his creations.

Politics › Re: Tinubu Approved Lifetime Pay For Retired Immigration Chiefs — Tunji-ojo by Akalia(m): 7:25pm On Oct 17
Lifetime salary should be stopped. No one in retirement is entitled to anything else in addition to pension and gratuity.

The monies expended on paying ex government officials lifetime salary should be used to create more employment prospects for the teeming number of the unemployed people in the country.
