The situation is really getting out of hand oo, imagine having to pay 3x more to get to work today it wasn't funny at all and the road wasso free like a tailor's legs . I pray that the problem is resolved ASAP oo....i even heard some1 saying the strike is called off but dunno know ao authentic the news is sha.

I woke this morning in Minna beholding the birth of a new Nigeria with no light as a result of unusual power failure from Shiroro. They said there is drop in water level.

My feeder was supposed to have supply from 0000hr-0400hr. Though, it has been 8hrs in service, and 16hrs out of service on load shedding since power deteriorated.

The occurence of sytem failure at Shiroro yesterday evening remains the pointer to this recent and might-not-be-quickly-resolved black-out.

For those who wanna hug transformer without dying, this is the best period o!

132/33/11KV sub-station in Minna is out of supply since yesterday.

Meanwhile, only Katampe, Abuja (power state) is on potential from Shiroro. GEJ won't know sey we dey suffer aswear.

Sooner or later, the service providers (MTN, Glo, Etisalat, Zain and others) will start shutting down some masts due to shortage of gas as well as some banks. GTB sef go dey close by 1pm as from today.

You see? 'No Money' is coming on the way. The batteries which power the ATM need electricity to be charged.

In conclusion,
'No Fuel' yesterday.
'No Electricity' and 'No Water' today.
'No Network' and 'No Money' fit join tomorrow.

Imagine salary paid, but no way to withdraw.

My feofle, be prepared for 'ATM Queue' of the century if banking sector becomes involved in this quagmire.

This case is tragicomedy fah.......I have never experienced a day as this since dem born for here.

The song, "se na like this we go dey dey" by Wande Coal plays in mind. I dey go house go play the track 5 times.

Always do remember Buhari/Osibanjo, and the new elected officers in ur prayers.

anukulapo:
Ah,this one na big issue o. Maybe Pastors should be well paid but not like the highest paid.
You don consider the soldiers for yobe and maidiguri? I think they should be the highest paid.

mikron:
honestly im ashamed to be from the same state with GEJ at this time, N2 trillion? with the recent exchange rate of the dollar to the naira that should come to $10 whooping billion D. recall $700m was found in diezani's house recently and when asked she cleverly said she is keeping the money for GEJ? no wonder our external reserves fell from $36b to $34b last month, these thieves are busy withdrawing from our revered foreign external reserve just for these electoral campaign selfish purpose? and here we re crying over the poor state of our power sector in the midst of plenty, and who will give out money for anything without having the reveiver sign for such monies baffles me, if na me i go deny say u give me money na. i pity GEJ. Buhari should do the needful, in spite of any gentlemanly agreement. JAIL, JAIL, JAILLLLLLL THEM ALL

candy:
I'm sure Baba didn't ask GEJ to kneel down, neither did he ask Cameron to remain on his feet while he prayed for him. The choice to kneel down or stand for prayer rested with the two men and I believe GEJ's own was shaped by his environment.
Cameron is simply not used to things like that. Gat nothing to do with being oyibo or not.

RickRichards:
Well, I think the lyrics are okay. But you need to get the composition right. You need a very strong and logical chord progression that carries the emotion of the track. And an arrangement that further augments said emotion. You have a lot of nerve posting the lyrics here. Is it copyrighted? Just thank your stars that I don't copy people's work: originality is my thing. I have a beat in my head already: something of a rap-rock feel. Protect your work!

tmann626:
i'm not a fan of ambode or jimi agbaje but one thing i would love every lagosian to do is to vote for the candidate that you can trust. i'm not a fan of PdP government. if PDP should win on saturday then every lagosian should be ready for 4 years of civil unrest because past PdP government in south west was associated with thuggery and armed robbery. Ekiti state is still suffering from that till date. dont get me wrong, fayose is a very nice man but he's got hooliganism in his blood. To all my igbo brothers. your businesses are thriving in lagos because there's has been peace in lagos and babatunde fashola tried in terms of security in lagos. you can vote for PDP but there is one thing i can assure you. lagos will not be peaceful again because all those thugs that BRF had sent away from lagos will come back and your businesses will not be safe again. vote wisely!!!

PLEASE, READ: THIS IS WHY EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO ABUJA.

If you don't understand why those who are in Abuja don't want to return and those who want to go are doing so at all cost, look at this information.

SPECIAL REPORT:
SALARY OF NIGERIAN SENATORS.

After reading through this Special Report, any sh[center][/center]red of doubt in the reader's mind that Nigeria is doomed and heading for a headlong, downward plummeting will simply dissipate. The details of the remuneration of an average Nigerian Senator is detailed below:

* Basic Salary (B.S) - N2,484,245.50
* Hardship Allowance (50% of B.S) - N1,242,122.70
* Constituency Allowance (200% of B.S) - N4,968,509.00
* Newspapers Allowance (50% of B.S) - N1,242,122.70
* Wardrobe Allowance (25% of B.S) - N621,061.37
* Recess Allowance (10% of B.S) - N248,424.55
* Accommodation (200% of B.S) - N4,968,509.00
* Utilities (30% of B.S) - N828,081.83
* Domestic Staff (70% of B.S) - N1,863,184.12
* Entertainment (30% of B.S) - N828,081.83
* Personal Assistants (25% of B.S) - N621,061.12
* Vehicle Maintenance Allowance (75% of B.S) - N1,863,184.12

* Severance Gratuity (300% of B.S) - N7,452,736.50
* Car Allowance (400% of B.S) - N9,936,982.00
* TOTAL MONTHLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00 ($181,974.00)
* TOTAL YEARLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00 x 12 = N353,756,988.00 ($2,183,685.00)
* EXCHANGE RATE: $1 = N162

LEGISLATORS PAY WORLDWIDE PER ANNUM
* Britain - $105,400.00
* United States - $174,000.00
* France - $85,900.00
* South Africa - $104,000.00
* Kenya - $74,500.00
* Saudi Arabia - $64,000.00
* Brazil - $157,600.00
* Ghana - $46,500.00
* Indonesia - $65,800.00
* Thailand - $43,800.00
* India - $11,200.00
* Italy - $182,000.00
* Bangladesh - $4,000.00

* Hong Kong - $130,700.00
* Japan - $149,700.00

In terms of lawmakers’ salaries as a ratio of GDP per capita, the gap is even much wider. While the salary of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the country’s GDP per person, that of a British member of parliament is just 2.7 times.

The average salary of Nigerian worker based on the national minimum wage is N18,000.00, So, the yearly salary is N18,000.00 x 12 = N216,000.00 ($1,333.00)
Remember, Yearly Salary of Nigerian Senator = $2,183,685.00.
Proportion: $2,183,685.00/$1,333.00 = 1,638
It will take an average Nigerian worker 1,638 years to earn the yearly salary of a Nigerian Senator.

Legislators, both at d state & federal level are d problem of dis country. They only legislate into their pocket. Lets unite, mobilize & move against them begining with those thieves at the National Assembly. Pls read & send to all ur contact

unite4real:
Its truly a colonial settlement because names like Epe, Surulere, Egbeda, Ilupeju, Shomolu, Mushin, Ajah, maroko etc are all Colonial names.

Its true again because when the colonial masters came, Lagos was empty. there were no human beings there. So the Colonial masters started speaking Yoruba and began to name all those areas above.

Wow. what a revelation.

I said the same yesterday and I got over 50 mentions. Most of them abusing and cursing

It is important that you look at the video to understand his statement contextually. The Igbo leaders there were laughing and smiling, they wont have done so if they felt threatened.

You need to see the response of Igbos on twitter to Pat Utomi's tweets, they have been cursing since morning.

Una go tire and on Monday you will wake up to a brand new shinny Governor- Mr Ambode

As a woman
I don't like it


Thought mine wld be like my cousin
I was so relaxed
Usually I have crazy cramps
When that thing came, I didn't even know
MIL just called me in and said u are stained
I wore a diff look
Got so mad at it
Why does it have to come after 6weeks

Doc sef praised my kind of body
But I was lucky no more cramps not until I started consuming heavy sugar again

My cousin didn't see hers till after a yr *even for her second kid*
I healed too fast, saw mine after 6weeks
I was jubilating it won't come till after a yr but I was so wrong
It pained me ehn

And yes its possible she takes in
In my cousins case, she was breastfeeding, not seen her period after 12mnths and she took in.
So this is what I witnessed, very possible

obowunmi:
I don't know anything about love or marriage whether arranged or otherwise. What I know is that just pray.

People these days are devils disguised in human form. Prayer is the answer, prayer is the master key. marry someone who genuinely loves God and make sure you get confirmation from God before you marry.

There's nothing more painful and sorrowful than marrying the wrong person.

I'm so afraid. The things my eyes has seen. It's crazy.

11. Become a DJ:



In Nigeria most DJ makes a huge amount of money in few hours. You must have passion for music before you start this one. Know how to select some good music and operate the instruments. It requires less money. Get the speakers and you are good to go.

EreluY:
[size=15pt]@ davien, many thanks for the rebuttal. Lazy indoctrinated Nigerians don't see beyond their nose. The latest scholarship on this subject matter is Richard Carrier's "On the Historicity of Jesus" published last year (2014) by Sheffield Phoenix Press Ltd. A 712 pages long, that has been robustly and positively reviewed in leading biblical studies journals, it is the second book of a two volume set, the first being "Proving History: Bayes’s Theorem and the Quest for the Historical Jesus" (Prometheus Books, 2012). Both works, for many biblical scholars, succeeded in demolishing the historicity of Jesus. Why Nigerians keep believing in trash called religion is beyond me.[/size]

I was strolling along Okere Road in Warri-South LGA yesterday evening when I saw this funny advert for a wife!

Just listen to how pathetic you sound.

You have degraded yourself, even 14 year old Nairalanders dey insult you.

Shameless doe.

MadCow1:
Hmm..

First of all, weed isn't addictive as it has no addictive properties.


Secondly, quitting anything is a personal decision. If he isn't ready, he wouldn't stop.

Finally, to alay your fears somewhat, weed isn't as bad as it is reputed to be. Currently, about two or three states in the U.S have legalized recreational marijuana with another 5 states soon to join in. In the not too distant future, weed would become legal. It indeed does carry some medicinal properties like aiding appetite and helps patients with glycoma.

Talk to him about it and chill.. Don't hound him on the matter otherwise he would just learn how to hide it better.
