kindlyheart:
I thought the corona pandemic is over globally.

It heightened in Brazil & India.

God help us.

Amotolongbo:
It was a contract now. Since contract has been perfectly executed and money paid for the job well done, Na make everybody dey go him papa house remain.

Mbaka was paid by the APC to divert the people’s mind away from a fixed judgement and political coup by using prophecy.
Mbaka was used to first to make a proclamation of Uzodinma becoming the state Governor so that there wouldn’t be chaos when the Supreme Court announces the abracadabra

Possibly.
But why wasn't a fixed judgement made in Bayelsa state Guber?

Was the President who 'supposedly' pulled this unable to do same in Bayelsa?

xpressionx:
I have a friend who is a ship captain that was been disturbing me to come and join him in his ship,This one of the reasons I bluntly refused.
May there souls RIP.

Maybe. but the chances of you being involved in a ship mishap is very slim. It's literally newsworthy when mishaps like these happen due to the rarity.

But of course choose your course.

The fascinating point about this ordeal is how other nations came together to assist Indonesia in searching for this vessel. Any of these nations would have been a potential assault target of the same vessel in time of conflict.

O humans!

Cashalhaji:
Noted

No real photograph catalogue?

TripleDdotcom:
IPOB Insurgents? is insurgency truly associated with IPOB or it's all a propaganda?


.............

By the way, please check my signature and patronize us for your data. Na beg I dey beg. Thanks.

The word 'Insurgency' means rebelling against authority.

Typical - Mutemath.

Book of life- Nathaniel Basset.

Better- Jonathan McReynolds.
I made it- Jonathan McReynolds.

Good ? Sure if you're passionate about it go on.

BUT.

If you also want to make a good living, it's not a reputably lucrative profession.

IF having a decently lucrative job means a lot to you don't do it.

Check other lucrative roles for which you have passions too. Passion isn't tied to one thing alone.

Minjim:
Such trust comes from having the required experience

Yes.

But it starts with being trustworthy in little things.

Everyone is usually out to steal/milk from the rich. They are drawn to those who bring back the metaphorical N5 change from an errand.

Minjim:
He no easy

Man united is hot Akara and Elumelu is not in the clique of world billionaires.

We are talking $ and £ here .

Stop putting him in a spot.

I don't think he rolls with the top world billionaires for them to trust him with their millions. We all know how precarious football biz is.

You don't need to be a billionaire to roll with one.

For e.g. Many people may think Daniel Levy is the 'Main man' @ Tottenham but that's only in executive decision making. A lesser known Joe Lewis is the Major investor, himself a bonafide billionaire.

It could be a matter of trust. Once you're trusted, you could front for many of these guys who own the clubs.

WriterNig:
You're right about this. Nigerian men are globally known for caring and spending lavishly on their women.

Really?

Kingjay007:
That's impressive. 27 Yr old with 5 year banking experience??

Just how many Nigerians can sing along?! After strike and job hunting takes 5 years alone.

Without taking anything away from her, She attended Babcock University & is highly likely from a well-to-do background.

Impressive nonetheless.

ThePrincipal:
It is well. Liquid metal, you messed up big time! You refused to forgive when you would have been the hero. Anyway, all mortal being must taste death.

He actually forgave her though.
Almost immediately.

God help us.

BlessedNuel:
To be a celebrity dey sweet no be small...the guy seff dey gentle...from his wordings...he just dey catch cruise

Yes but it has its costs.

You can rarely ever live a peaceful normal life again.

With huge expectations everywhere are everyone out to grab to take from you.

mansakhalifa:
Delta States, right? Yeah, I think so...

Meanwhile, why is that flag up-side-down in that second picture

It's not upside down.

It's a mast reminiscent of how flags are flown atop ships at sail. Most Naval facilities have this.

Sonoyom:
I am still trying to graps the idea behind this Super League.

I don't like it too.

But who's to say it's greed?

What's the monetary threshold for establishing greed Vs ambition?

Players who renew contracts every 2/3 years demanding higher wages. Greed?

Workers who leave companies to others for 50k more without pre information. Greed?

Clubs that request €100m+ to sell a human being. Greed isn't it?

As long as no human welfare interests are ruined and they are in no legal infractions involved, they are well in their right.

You and I don't like it but that's how the world works.

I just hope they thought this experiment through.

2elliot:
Your federal govt will not be foolish enough to go to second civil war no matter the provocation. That is just the truth cos Nigeria will never stand after it.

Never say Never.

I preach peace. But who's to say what will stand after war?

There are countries embroiled in fatal civil wars for 10,15,20 years which are still effectively republics no matter how war torn they are.


May God help us be wise.

EmekaA125:
Shut up and go and sleep. Why do you suddenly start caring about SE? The same people you idiots malign and denigrate on this forum everyday? Focus on your region and mind your business. Whatever happens in Igboland doesn't concern you and ur afonja descendants from Ile-Ife.

Because I happen to be, in part, from south east.

I don't malign South easterners.

secretkiller:
No more police checkpoint in South East, we told them. They thought is just online wailing.

If they born any police man well, let them mount roadblock or checkpoint. They won't be alive to tell the story.

I would not beat my chest at the Fed. If I were you.
it's unnecessary.
Let's not bring to ourselves war for which we may not like the costs of its outcome.

God help us.

Shoodboi:
The media just gave Buhari another reason to never lead from the front as he promised

Lai, Lauretta, and that other guy now have new excuses to present to anyone who ever asks them why Buhari hasn't been leading from the front even though this happened six years after Buhari failed to keep that promise

A modern leader is not suppose to lead a war from the frontline literally.

That's not good use of time /resources.
Besides, he is highly probably NOT in tip top shape like the soldiers he leads.

Opak001:
brownie go still dey road.....
why sale to children!!!
na my problem be that.
Thanks

So sad.

But what "Child" buys N1500 (non foreign) cookies?
I'm willing to be wrong though.

Wow!

So this man rallied N22.5m to purchase a ticket to contest the Guber. Not including other campaign costs o!

God help us all.

Why is it that 99% (an exaggeration but you get the point) of all Projects of Importance in Nigeria are handled by foreigners?

And I'm not even being xenophobic here.
Just being curious. This suggests a high level of mediocrity amongst us.

And yes including me. I'm fighting my way out of this though(The mediocrity not necessarily the country).

Chrismentor3:
You fail to include money for data to access premium tutorials or money to enroll in learning centers

To be fair some of the Ops claims are valid, Others, Not so much.

What do I mean?

Electricity: I would think there are laptop Power banks that last for 8+hrs when power supply is out.

Pay for tutorial: Don't really need to pay.
Great resources like:

freecodecamp.org
Runestone academy
Dan bader - Learn python.
Data flair etc.
Free pdf books also exist all over the internet.

Type "*Subject matter *" & pdf on google to choose from a wide range of resources.
Youtube is a massive treasure.

People like Derek banana, Caleb Curry, Mosh Hammedani, Tranversy media, WiseOwl etc are democratizing learning daily.

Internet Access - I don't move around Lagos much but I have heard that Wifi (hotspots) are no longer luxuries as they use to be - Higher institutions, State Library, private Hubs, etc.

Laptop - No solution here as you have to buy.

Time - Focus & drive seem to me as the most important factors for learning here. As well as having a nitche.

Data Engineers, Advanced Data Analysts(AKA Data scientists), Cloud architects, DBAs & Information systems Architects are in demand these days in the enterprise space. I don't know much about web development but it seems to me that competition there is a little tough for a newbie to break into.

If your skills really measure up though, you should be gunning for remote jobs through stack overflow, Indeed & Crossover rather than the lower end Fiverr alone.

God help us.

AsherAmari:
Hmmm... Are they still going to be the same persons they were to each other ten years ago?

I guess they did this for the childrens sakes. At least, now that the children have come off age and are ripe for marriage, they both want to be present and honoured at their childrens wedding. Sense people.

Thank God for the reunion.

Really?

For children that are 24 & 19 in the UK?

You do realize that in the UK children those ages are already out and about finding their way through life?

meobizy:
It’s all fun and games until the marriage crashes again. The kids are already grown, they don’t need the union.

Really interesting that a lady is making this comment.

If you're a christian, you did realize that what they've done is a rarity right?

The bible even says : Are thou bound unto a wife seek not to be loosed.

God help us.

OgunLaakaye:
Barcelone was expecting their Nou Camp WiFi to work in Santiago Bernabéu

Forgetting it does not even work in Argentina.

Really?

Barca lost but no need twisting facts against Messi. Of his 26 elclassico goals, 15 of them were scored at the Santiago Bernabeu. He has score fewer at Camp nou.

He had a suppressed game yesterday though. Totally blocked out.

obonujoker:
Lol..... We will score against eibar, Valladolid or Huesca....

Hahahahaha!

Funny enough, somehow he has more goals against RMadrid than most of the teams you've mentioned.

Beverlyjean:
If ronaldo was still in Madrid...they wudnt hv stopped winning it

Really?

Madrid are good but during CR7's stay in Madrid:

They played in 38. Messi has 17 to CR7's 12. They tied in 9.

So how do you mean they wouldn't have stopped?

thebosstrevor1:
It is simple.

Every social cause promoted on social media is paid for. No protest or social media campaign is organic, as long as you have money to pay influencers, you can personally destroy or support a target.

This leds me to the #endsar campaign, all the influencers were paid to destroy Nigeria by some ngos and foreigners, these same influencers were happy destroying the country they live in.

Nigerians can sell their soul for little cash.

You would not be able to Know would you.

Obviously this cause has fishy written all over it as there is no direct relationship between Venezuela & Nigeria.
However, that's not to say ALL social causes are paid not organic.

That counterfeit currencies exist suggests that there is indeed a genuine currency. The same applies to causes.

000s of causes are created daily — many non political.

Aconomist:
It is a oligopoly (limited competition) not a monopoly. But Oligopoly is just as bad as monopoly because the few producers can coordinate with each other to keep prices high. Also note that Dangote's market share in the southern part of the country is pure monopoly. BUA Group sells mostly in the North and LaFarge only sells to civil engineering companies -- they don't usually do residential.

Lafarge doesn't only sell to civil engineering companies. That is not true.

Also Business is a hard adventure.

Most 2 Major local producers started out as importers. He successfully moved to production.
Others faltered. You may say they didn't, right? That Dangote used government support to eliminate them.

The question would be : If he is ALL so powerful, how come he failed at Tiger spices, Noodles/Flour & Beverages(juices).

Also how did BUA survive him? To remain in the industry?
Business is hard. I wish it wasn't. Monopolist would always seek to dominate. Capitalism is ruthless.

God help us.

Aconomist:
They have no incentive to do that. According to Rabiu, the problem in the industry is scarcity. They can't produce enough to meet demand. The only solution is to allow more companies to enter the industry and compete OR allow imports.

Nigerians have to come up with self thought solutions to break this. Complaining would not help. Never did.
Since it's not a monopoly (technically).

Capitalism has little soul. Any advantage that can be used would be used in capitalism. If he can dominate more he probably will.

Aconomist:
When people ask me why I don't invest in Nigeria, remember this thread and responses like this. Nigerians are addicted to stagnation and justify their own demise -- only a fool would put his hard earned capital into a nation of monkeys like this.

Cement prices around the world range from $3 to $6 while Dangote is selling for the equivalent of $11 for a profit margin of 60% in Nigeria compared to an industry average profit margin of 5% to 12%. He is able to charge these high prices because of low competition -- he kicked out competitors by hoarding limestone resources and convincing the federal government to ban imports.

According to Rabiu of BUA Group, Nigeria's real cost of cement production is the lowest in the world. The high prices are because of price gouging and monopolistic behavior from Dangote.

There are least 3/4 major cement producers in Nigeria. If Dangote's cost is exorbitant & BUA says Nigeria is the least cost producer of cement, Why doesn't BUA & Lafarge sell at half the price of Dangote's currently?
