What's the point?

kolaaderin:
A dangerous flash flood emergency hit the streets of Washington D.C. during the Monday morning commute.

With three to four inches of heavy rain falling in a short amount of time, the National Weather Service said the area saw significant flash flooding.

The rain left drivers stranded on top of their cars and some metro commuters with water streaming into the station.

"Travel will be EXTRAORDINARILY dangerous," the National Weather Service warned on Twitter. "Stay out of low areas, if in a low area that may flood, seek higher ground. Stay off the roads if at all possible. This is not the 'usual' flooding."
The rain flooded the main power vault at D.C.'s National Archives, closing the building. The National Archives is home to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights; all those documents are safe, the National Archives and Records Administration said.

The downpour even appears to have affected the White House basement.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser urged drivers to stay off the roads.

Justice Chikere, while ordering that the EFCC be served also with the same court process, stressed that the service be done within five days from October 9, when the order was made.

The ex-parte, with suit No FHC/ABJ/CS/628/ 2018, and filed by
Dr.West Idahosa on behalf of the plaintiff has Oshiomole and EFCC as 1st and 2nd respondents

Where is the 'human face' in governance?

Woke up with strength and vigour this morning and was up to face today with all hopes and aspirations but was sad & almost started crying after watching this video.

I've been an advocate of leaders been strong at all time with will power to carry out leadership responsibilities. And that emotional leaders don't go far but certainly not this way.

In leadership and governance, there's a place for 'Human face' no matter the circumstances. Widows to the best of my knowledge are integral part of our society and if we don't apply human face when dealing with them, am afraid we are far from getting there as a people.

Two wrongs indeed can never make things right and as such, can't fathom why the Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams A. O. will treat this widow like this and even tell her to go and die when she's struggling to provide food for her family. I think it would've been far better to make her pay a fine for her wrong doing than this humiliation.

The agony of the poor in our society......

They dont need to line up in front of embassy like a mere Nigeria tho.............. But I was taught people like them don't need Visa shaa

Spanishmilf:
Oga our passport na green card passport, have forgotten passport issued to top executive in the government people like Buhari don't need America Visa to travel there or do you think Trump need Britain Visa to travel to the the uk............. You are normal citizen those people are agbagba firiyoyo

CanadaOrBust:
Nope. Credit card debts. Why do u think they have so many bankruptcies?

CanadaOrBust:
One wise and insightful comment. In those countries the norm is to be in debt, talkless of saving

planetx:
All this talk of go to Canada from people who have never flown from Lagos to Abuja. To many ignorant ideas about the so called abroad anytime a topic like this comes up.

ChiefkeefGB4:
Even if offered a position as CEO of Shell I will not return back to Nigeria to live. When you live in Europe or North America, you will realize peace of mind for you and you family members is more valuable than money.
You don't have to worry about kidnappers or armed robbers when travelling on the highway, you don't need armed guards protecting your house, walk anywhere at 3am in the morning without fear, if your sick and you call ambulance you know they will be there within minutes.
Every profession is respected and adequately rewarded-policemen,teachers and firemen are some of the highest paid people in the country and make $100k plus.

Go and check free education in Germany.... Germany is ur bet... do ur masters their

chinchum:
someone earning 30k will pay tax of roughly 3k/annum ..... (s)he has abt 25k left. Financial intelligence &discipline are quite important .

2,000 cad per month can still allow for savings for someone smart.

Housing + other home utilities ----1050cad
transportation------ transit (100cad) if transit , it could be about 50 cad with a subsidy based on income
feeding----- 200cad
Phone bills ---- 50 cad
other expenses ------ 100 cad.(toiletries, occassional clothes and shoes e.t.c)

Total is $1500 (1050 +100+200+50+100)
$2000-$1500 -= $500 possibly for savings

But an idiot earning that low will possibly spend foolishly and may acquire the latest BenZ and paying installmentally.

ChiefkeefGB4:
Don't blame the white man for you lack of success. Yes, it's true white Canadians occupy 96% of Corporate executive roles and control most of the wealth. I know many Nigerians that have broke barriers in different industries in finance,government and entertainment and made it to the top. Canada is still the land of opportunity- The Toronto Raptors GM Masai Ujiri is from Nigeria for example.

If you are an art student and you think people like dangote need Visa to travel abroad then you need to get your ass back to school

mu2sa2:
The 4m naira is just about 11k dollars. That is
small change in Western countries. Why not invest the money here and over time it grows. You can then afford to travel to Canada, Dubai or anywhere else for leisure, rather than to be just menial worker or even a criminal with all the risks involved. Someone told me that on his first trip abroad to London he saw a security guard in front of a shop and upon a closer look he discovered he was a lecturer he knew at a nigerian university, who left his job to seek so- called greener pastures abroad like OP is planning!

Even Adeboye is not saint either. He should be more focus on the fake Pastor in ASO ROCK he provides for us.

Baba is even afraid to die

So he doesn't want to go to his mansion in heaven?

I wonder when people will realise religion is a big scam

seyenko:
"In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person.
Lacking in self control, discipline, and foresight.
Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery.
His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future, or grief for the past.
“He lacks the power of organization, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business.
He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility "

Lord Frederick John Dealty Lugard, The Dual Mandate, pg.70 (1926)

otipoju:
Jesus was not stupid when he chose to have twelve male disciples.

In this case,Pastor Biodun is an heartless and unrepentant womanizer. Even right now he still does not feel any sense of guilt

I strongly believe that at any point in time, a genuine Pastor or Prophet should be able to say like Samuel did in 1st Samuel chapter 12 verse 3

" Here I stand. Testify against me in the presence of the LORD and his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed? From whose hand have I accepted a bribe to make me shut my eyes? If I have done any of these things, I will make it right."

This is the ultimate test of the integrity of a Man of God and the standard required of any one who claims to be a Christian.

Samsonklin:
It’s you against the world. If you are looking for one person to come and do charity for you ehn, odiodi for you. You better work for your own and stop this dirty philanthropy talk. Did he get to where he is by philanthropy? Everyone can’t be a philanthropist. If you can good for you, if they can’t, leave them alone and do with it what they like after all. It’s not as if you will help him when the money finishes abi you go help am? Why you dey cry. Group kor cult ni

Iz film maker tyler perry not a black man.. Do u see him showing off despite the massive wealth i has.. or Jayz

Showoff has nothing to do with skin color..

Ronaldo shows off
A lot of white rappers showoff

So it got nothing to do with skin color..

Skin color doesnt change the way human think.. Human chooses the way he thinks

Originalsly:
Bro.... seems like you have no idea of philanthropy by rich/wealthy Blacks. Most do so and try their best to keep it under wraps....and many do so to promote education for Blacks.Ever heard of Robert Smith?...guess not... he is a Black American billionaire that gave the commencement address at Morehouse College in May.....and announced that he will pay off the student debt of alll the graduating students. Puff Diddy...Jay Z.... Beyonce... let alone Oorah and a whole lot of others do this kind stuff but they all remain low keyed about it... like is taboo for them to call attention to what they are doing.

KenModi:
I mentioned Dangote in my comment. Or is he white now??

Trust me the rich ones in Nigeria and Africa in general never show off; they are oftentimes not even online to begin with. Even when they are they don’t show off; displaying money on the table or wherever.

Let me leave men a bit. One of the richest women in Africa is in Angola but you would never see her show off but the so called “boss ladies” who go to eat shiit in Dubai and other other parts of the Middle East won’t let us see where to put our legs jejely online.

The truly rich never show off!

By the way, so you are saying white people don’t spend senselessly right??

Smh

Talk wetin you know or dey sure off abeg!

9jaRealist:
Why? Because that was NOT your question...

Nonetheless, while I am in no position to know how much the LASG spent on that policy initiative (sadly Lagos’ finances are admittedly largely opaque), there’s nothing wrong with expending some public funds on laudable initiatives - and frankly transiting to cleaner LPG is laudable.

gypsey:
errr.. Not realy. my boss has runs a Successfull business, He drives 2 Bentlys, a brand new Jaguar SUV, infact. he is very wealthy. but he is on a Suicidal watch now as i write this comment. He has tried to kill himself 3 times, And the most worrying is he deosn't even understand why he Always wants to kill himself.

Now tell me how is that healthy? i am not rich but i would rather stay healthy and live up to 100 years that have all the money in the world, that's my preference Anyway.

KenModi:
Not about race or nationality. Has nothing to do with being black.

The real rich; the ones who have got the dough, the ones whom their money alone opens doors don’t and would never do such. Na those wey get ordinary 2 cents no go let us breath.

You mention yankee; make I mention naija.

You would never see Dangote do such but come see Hushpuppi and his likes.

Dipsong:
Yea d reason why whites in america doesnt respect or give a Damn about black americans, cuz all they do is to have sex and promote evil things on social media . The reason why Oprah is so different among them.
