You hit the nail on the head. I don't understand the magic that EEDC wants to do if the underlying issues like transmission, power generation, electricity theft etc that are preventing them from supplying 24/7 power are not addressed

Kenneth4u205:
I'm not interested about papers. Until I see electricity in my room 24/7,then I will compliment

Is it not an APC candidate that won?

clearcrystal:
Sore loser

I swear

ManirBK:
Ano even understand.. Those English used were too emefelized to my understanding

But what we all knew this is pay back time but it has good and bad effect during this period

Lol. You overlook the fact that Atiku had no business contesting the election. Power is meant to return to the south.
What stopped Atiku from throwing his weight behind Peter Obi and supporting him?

IyaebeTheGreat:
Whenever I see people attributing intelligence to Obi, I laugh so hard. Asiwaju used Obi for his victory through Pat Utomi else Atiku would have won. Man like Asiwaju. It’s only man that has sense and smart like Asiwaju that I’ll marry.

She is beautiful.

hear hear

pansophist:
This is one of the reasons why I have strong animosity toward democracy. It is a system where the majority wins, and if the majority are idiots, then the few good ones suffer.

In an underdeveloped, impoverished country with lots of uneducated people as a majority, the circle of hardship will always continue due to the number of masses that will sell their votes. Because according to democracy, the vote of intellectual legends like Soyinka is equal to the one of a northern almajiri that can be bought with a plate of tuwo.

There are more almajiris, religious idiots, uneducated slowpokes, and downright evil people who will sell their vote or vote because the candidate is from their tribe. Should smart people like Soyinka suffer because of that? Democracy is basically the tyranny of the majority.

The idea that the mass is right is nonsense. The mass is a herd of cows, and the smart one is usually the herdsman. Even though the herdsman knows what is good for the cows, if you leave the cows alone, they will wander away and destroy themselves.

And that's just one of the problems with democracy. I haven't even touched on other angles of it such as its vulnerability, susceptibility to hijack, infiltration, and so forth, but if Nigeria really wants to grow, it must come to terms with this reality and confront its political philosophy, instead of foolishly perpetuating the one imposed by its colonial imperialist.

Very wrong.. Everyone should vote for whomever they want, without fear of intimation or attacks. Those that assaulted the elderly man should be arrested and prosecuted.

Lol I am living in this country.
When you are faced with challenges, you look for solutions

Biglogo:
just like that at that period when bank is not even approachable. U are not living in this country, talk true

Wise man!! God bless your hustle
But please note, if the cashless policy holds POS business would die. So, please start looking for other business ventures to eanter

dkings101:
I run POS exclusively....since there is no cash to run the business...I take my POS to market and do withdrawal and transfer the value to traders for customer who want to pay for commodity with their ATM and charge a minimal fee. At all at all Na him bad pass.

She needs to look for another business. if the cashless policy succeeds POS is dead

id4sho:

My tenant's wife POS business have crumbled. No cash for about 3wks, she's just home

If Buhari succeeds with this cashless policy POS business would die. Why would there be a need for POS if we are all doing transfers and using ATM cards for our transactions?

This is what Reno Omokri has been crying about. Abandoning/mistreating your mother for a wife/girlfriend is wrong.

No problem

Shadysen:
sorry, i asked my big bro he said onna is ibibio, my bad.

Didn't they say there was no more money because the CBN did not release it?

Okay she is Anang then?

Shadysen:
onna is not ibibio

exactly!

gokahnwi:
A big blow for those that,have refuse lean from the past

The Supreme court made a mistake initially by entertaining the suit.

tunapawizzy:
Loooool Supreme Court is smart with this one.
Supreme court has the responsibility to protect the integrity of the Supreme Court first. Any judgement of the Supreme Court that will not be respected without any consequence is better not delivered. Because it will only weaken the supremacy of the Supreme court.

It's like u telling someone, if u cross that line I will slap you, then the person crosses and u have no balls to slap that person. You will look like a joke when u tell another person not to cross that same line.

You see it? Supreme court court. Forget it. Politicians are fighting each other. Make sure you are not caught in the crossfire. Nigerians that listened have already adjusted. Bank transfer is now the order of the day

Wow, so she is Ibibio?

what was stopping you from switching to POS and or bank transfers?

Biglogo:
people were complaining and the new note available in the bank and a merchant we deals in cash mostly

you are a merchant that collected cash even when you knew the deadline was looming?

Biglogo:
How did u do that, u must be a salary earner and not a merchant like me

correct guy

sleek214:
None. Discarded all my old notes before 31st January 2023

they are not serious. bank transfer works

Nice. Which bank did you use and which bank did you transfer to?

destiny4luv:
Transfer went through immediately.

Did you have to wait for the transfer to confirm before eating or being served?

destiny4luv:
Transfer

they will not read. Instead they will start abusing you. Some men are just basket cases.

atheistandproud:
Let's take three scenarios that are very ubiquitous in our modern day living...

Scenario 1

Two high school graduates, male and female, both jobless, probably learning a trade, around 18 years of age. If the guy approaches the girl for a relationship, 7 out of 10 times, the reply would be you're not my type.

Scenario 2
Two University students, around the same age, in the same level, maybe even the same department and/or hostel. If the guy makes any overt approaches to the lady for a relationship, he's most likely 8 out of 10 to be rebuffed.

Third scenario
Two graduates, both B.Sc holders, both hustling after school, living in very modest apartments, both under 30. The same outcome as the first two would most likely play if the guy does seek for a relationship.
----------------------------------------
In all 3 scenarios, they could be very good friends especially for the guys. They could be there and do heaven and earth but as soon as the relationship line is approached...its back to your tents oh Israel.

Many guys will surely be wracking their heads, some would even become angry, possibly violent after investing so much into a friendship in the hopes of a future relationship. The rejection most of the time is usually firm. No means No.

Why? Why do you think you're not her type?

First things first is that you need to understand that men and women are not the same, whether you want to go physical, mental, psychosocial, psychological etc. We think and act very differently because the social pressures and expectations on us are very different.

Secondly, you need to understand that many (not all) treat anyone auditioning for their relationship space as a job seeker. You need to match a list of requirements.

I stumbled across a quote somewhere that states that men are idealistic in loving, show an average man a little love and watch him melt. Women on the other hand are pragmatists who love wouldn't sway at a certain age. It is a also a fact that women mature way faster mentally meaning that guys are playing catch-up.

So whilst you as a man is fumbling towards the woman you like, she on the other hand is assessing you coldly and she has to.

Women after a certain age looks at a relationship with economic lenses. Let's assume that you have a hundred Naira note and I have a hundred Naira as well. I then approach you so we can swap notes. Does that make any sense to you?

You have a bottle of coke and I have the very same and I approach you for a swap, surely you must think there's something wrong with my coke or with me? When you approach a lady on the same level, she's thinking about what you could do for her that she cannot already do for herself. Most of the time it's a zero sum game and hence they turn you down.

Even if a woman wasn't going to think like that, societal and social pressures would force her to.

Family: if your sister picked a salary earning teacher of 30K over a banker who earns 5 times that amount, wouldn't you call her crazy? Not to her face but you would.

Suitor: as a man, if you were rejected by a lady for someone below your level, wouldn't you question her intelligence? Have many of you not tried to buy women with money and gifts?

Thus women carry hypergamy but society (men included) support and prop it up. We keep it alive and thriving. Social media makes it even worse. Many Nigerian women think they're Florence Otedola that can bag a wealthy boxer in their 30s. Many Nigerian men are dreaming of having Davido type of money someday. The statistical chances of that happening is low.

There's a reason why Leo DiCaprio will never date over 25 thus no one will ever Amber Heard him.

Thus if you both are at the same place when she says she's not on your level, she's actually correct. Don't let woke media deceive you. Men and women want different things.

This is why highly successful men don't want highly successful women, what does the lady has that the man doesn't have? Jay Z could have had any A lister but he opted for Beyonce. Because he's got things to offer her, even despite his indiscretions, she stayed. Bill and Hillary Clinton, man was caught cheating but his wife stayed.

You definitely don't need money to get a goodlooking woman but you have to position yourself to be one that people are scared to lose. Don't let anyone tell you it's manipulative. It's not. When you exude value, you then get to pick and would not be subject to any feminine games or shit tests. She tests you, she's gone. No take backs.

In fact it's a fellow woman that'll shut the door in her face, not you.

What payment method did you use?

Very good

Exactly!

paskal16:
Nothing to see here
Just polithiefians fighting for their selfish interests

This is horrible and inhumane!

what about transfers?

RotimiBliss:
But are people going to starve to death when they can't access new notes?

I was begging you people since. Don't hold old naira notes supreme court or no supreme court. I had a feeling this was going to happen. In fact 2 ladies that work in the branch of a major bank here, did not go to work yesterday and today, so, that means their bank branch is shut down. People who wanted to deposit their money(old notes) would be disappointed.
Always play it safe. Politicians are fighting each other don't be caught in the crossfire.
