The habit of posting works that are not yours,

claiming to have worked where you never worked

Forming an expertise that you are not

Only to come to site without proper tools or ideas

This is the modus operandi of most Nigerian artisans these days.

Mess up your project and leaves you with trauma

Why waste the space when you can just mention with evidence any individual(s) who has done such to you or anyone you know in the last 12 months?

I just keep laughing at the myopic sensibility of many Nigerians.

We are still repeating the mistakes done in the petroleum sector.

Why would any sane government/administration mine such raw materials and export it and then Nigerians will purchase finished products of such ?

Is that how sensible and educated leaders at all levels behave?
So not one person could call themselves to correction!!!

HE REMOBED SUBSIDY BUT TINUBU HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTING THE EARNINGS FROM SUBSIDY TO THE MONTHLY STATE ALLOCATIONS WHICH IS BEING SQUANDERED AND LOOTED BY GOBERNORS. TINUBU WANTS TO WIN HIS RE-ELECTION THUS HE'S FAVOURING THE GOVERNORS AGAINST THE CITIZENS

PBAT is not favouring the governors more than the masses. PBAT is only following the process of separation of powers.
The masses should be bold enough to hold their respective States Governors accountable.


We also saw increased earnings sent by the PMB administration to various State governors but the whole blame throwing on the FG takes precedence always.
The SGs are the real enemies of meaningful development in Nigeria.

Is this not the NBA who said the suspended Governor of Rivers State gifted them Rivers money to hold the conference and because Sole Administrator Ibas is not democratically elected they chose Enugu as the place to spend Rivers gifts!!!


Well, we never did near anything from the Sole administrator again, I guess the waters are now calm.


Funny thing is that the Nigerian system is branded in a way that perverts always mention $$$ in the running of the economy and lives of individuals and put all the blame on the table of the President.
They never do blame State Governors !!!!

They should tell him to mention the names of the various LGAs alongside the names of communities that are enjoying and benefiting from this so called mini grid power supply?

Everyone of us comes from these communities so we can know this fictitious lies.

yaradua was picked to compensate his brother shehu that died when they were incarcerated n also to please his region.

I pity those who believe obj meant well for Nigeria, he picked 2 puppet that will b easy for him to control.

Yaradua was a very gentle man who even made his clear the election that brought him in was rigged, and u should observe Jonathan too he was also a gentle person

Obj picked 2 gentle men whom he could control

Unfortunately, OBJ couldn't control either of them. It's unfortunate that Yar'Adua died unexpected. It would have been an interesting thing to see if OBJ would support his second tenure if he were alive and wanted to do a second tenure.....

Hello fellow nairalanders,

There’s this issue that have been giving me trouble mind recently about my girlfriend.

So I just got a girlfriend 10 days ago , me and the girl have been friends for almost 2 month before asking her out.

. The first issue that’s giving concern about the girl is that I’m a Christian and she’s a Muslim , she always tells me that her parents use to warn her severally not to date a Christian or someone she can’t marry.

I sat her down to talk about this but it seems she has already fell in love with me and the only response I get from her is “Let’s continue”.

I know both of us are still young but I don’t want to waste my time and resources over something that will end in tears for me.

I told my best friend about this but his response was “did you want to marry her before, keep fucking yourselves till you depart “

I don’t want to follow this advise because the girl is too innocent for that. She also has a worst experience with her ex that I’ve promised her it won’t happen again.

The second one is her past really bothers me a lot to be sincere with you people. She only had sex once according to her but that one time sex lead her to using p*stinor and other stuffs.

I play maturity immediately she told me but to be sincere here she’s too young for that and I’m concern.

Can I move on and tell break up with her please I need advice .

I know she’ll be hurt like hell if I did but I need to protect my dignity too…. Thanks family

You are a Christian and she a Muslim.
Do you intend to marry her or you're just playing okay now due to emotions and self pity?

One of you would have to switch religion a d you know who that is and do you think you have that much love for her and Christ Jesus in you to withstand the consequences of it?

The Sultan should not be talking about the conventional justice system but he should say such for the Sharia system as practiced in his region and followers.

We have not seen or heard any rich or wealthy who are under the Sharia law and Court where justice has been served if not to give judgment to the poor of the society.

It's a flood-prone area.

In that entire area is there no higher ground to put up such or why did they not sand fill the area and build an upstairs?

focus7:
I am surprised that ADC is yet to know that Peter Obi is a man of no consistent character. He said he will never leave APGA he left even after the vow he made, he also left PDP to LP. In the same LP, he once promised not to leave but right now he's one leg in and one leg out.

It is very obvious that PO is not a builder but just someone who is lucky to just transition through things when there's good.
So he has no real political followers and followership.

Deon28:
When Apc was formed, Tinubu knew he can't take power without the North, he used Buhari to achieved that.
For ADC to achieve their goal, Obi should deputize Atiku, before 12pm that day, Tinubu is a gooner even rigging can't save him.
Anything outside Atiku/Obi ticket ADC is as dead as a corpse.

Obi can't win election without the Norther support, Atiku can't win without the southeast support. So they should do the needful or allow Tinubu disgrace them on election day.

A lot of us will like to see this come forth but ....!!!!!
Not many people will vote an Atiku/PO presidency, the reason is obvious..

The South Eastern governors will not work for PO and you know what that means.

The rest of the Niger Delta a major block is for a Southern candidate.

There's nothing the coalition can use as bargaining chip to hold on to incumbent governors and other stakeholders to aid them come on board.

MemphitzDgreat1:
Tinubu's only option for winning 2027 elections in rigging...

Kiss The Truth

Tell us which election in Nigeria is without rigging?

Helinuse:
NEVER LET THEM KNOW YOUR NEXT MOVE

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Una go taya.
Una must taya.

My advise to His Excellency Peter Obi is that, first, it will be difficult to, by himself, win an election in Nigeria, ALONE!

This is because the system itself is a fraud and only the most fraudulent carries the day.

So if he cannot put together a team of those fraudsters from PDP and APC terrorist groups, he should make sure he scatters them.

Wishful thinking without proper finance to expend is a futile attempt to overthrow the government in Nigeria.
Even the scattering still requires money.
How much money is anyone willingly to spend to scatter the incumbent party?
The opposition are all waiting for the court after election to give money to only lawyers to eat...!!!!

... first and foremost, I cut my clothe according to my size... I dnt go after ladies with very high maintainance or unending list of demands...I specifically go after moderate ladies, also, I made my gf understand I am not a rich guy, but we can work thing out standing by ourselves...

But nomata how u do it, ladies will always be demanding of u to spend and spend..since that is the only way to show love by a guy in this part of the world .
.
I am a mid range earner...sh also works but in low income...as usual once a while there are stylish demand for u to assist financially so inorder not to embarrass her or annoy me or come at a time I am broke...I created a plan...

I noted issues which usually need my financial assistance more often...

Data, sickness, credit, and sometimes direct financial support...

For the data..I migrated her to glo, ND did an Always ON plan for her..one of 5k for one month which gives her 1G everyday...l continually subscribe it for her . If sh use all watch sabinus lafter zone, na she sabi. nomata what, sh must wait for tomorrow to get another.. data problem solved..I warned her not to b calling with that data..and buy credit instead...

On credit.. sh buys it herself... And I dnt tolerate it when sh need to call me and didn't cuz sh don't HV credit...


On health.. I used 12k to register her for health insurance for a year at the nearest hospital closest to her.. that way.. whenever sh tells me I am not feeling fine.. I simply reply, go to the hospital na.. it's free... Sh no dey bring that talk come again, but honestly, it helps her alot...

On financial support.. I gift her 25k monthly... But sh doesn't know... Sh believes my giving are endless..... Before the end of first week of the month, I send her money... Sometimes, 5k. Next month might be 15k, another might b 8k,10, as the spirit moves me... And in the third week I send the rest Wich must total 25k..

And if I send her sometimes 8k ND maybe forgot the rest when the month is almost spent, I buy her gift with the rest or take her out entirely... All within the 25k...

That way I satify all my supposed gifting requirements in a relationship...

Guyz how do u see this my method...

Dnt mind those that will rush to thread to shout simp, simp, na them do pass self...


I believe in plans, I believe if u dnt plan, u waste money

M & W.
Modest and Wisdom....you have shown.

[quote author=madridguy post=136551071]Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, should go and get another aspirant as Obi has already accepted to be a running mate with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Datti continue with your political career and forget about Obi because he is already dinning with ADC. [/quote



Datti does not have a political career anymore without PO .
He should just focus on his private businesses.

Last week, the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) hinted at plans to review the salaries of political office holders in Nigeria, describing their current earnings as inadequate, unrealistic, and outdated in the face of rising responsibilities and economic challenges.

RMAFC Chairman, Mohammed Shehu stated: “You are paying the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria ₦1.5m a month since 2008, with a population of over 200 million people. Everybody believes that it is a joke."
He added that this increment will be exclusive to the President, Vice President, Governors and their Deputies, Ministers as well as lawmakers.

However, Daniel Ojukwu, who works with the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) has faulted these claims. In a response to an X user; @MasterBolaji, Ojukwu said the President earned more than ₦1m salary per month.

You can wait for government to provide generator and solar systems and water for your homes too, since is government's responsibility. Can we actually afford all these amenities if they are made available like it is in develop nations you refer too? Check number of individuals that bypassed their prepaid meters and revert.

Let's me start with.....what is your year of birth?


Were Nigerians not been able to pay for such amenities from the 70's till 90's in the States and Areas they were made available to the people?

What actually changed?

What is the relationship between Nigerian amenities and Developed Nations amenities and payment?


Do you know anyone in Europe who can't afford to pay their amenities, then give me the strong reasons behind such?


It's not all Nigerians that's naive and gullible.

diordaves:
In the civil engineering trade, it is always not a good idea to pay for labour on a daily basis. You pay 20k per day. So for 25 working days, you pay[b] One Million just for arranging and re-arranging blocks. [/b] This is not a wise decision at all. By adopting this unwise payment method, there is the temptation for the contractor to milk the job for all it's worth. This is what I suspect is happening. If you must pay per day, you must have a Key Performance Indicator to determine the level of work achieved for the day. This will be difficult as your mum is effectively the project manager and you are overseas with no direct contact with the engineer. You have gone about this very wrong. You need to change tack.

What is the quality of job done so far? Is the engineer knowledgeable? If you are happy with the quality of the job done, you should let the engineer know that you are not happy with the pace of work as against the payment method. Ask them to break down the whole job stage by stage and to submit a labour only quote for each job. You will reach agreement for the supply of materials separately.

Look for two or three other similar quotes and then you compare. If the engineer is not competitive, don't hold back in letting them go. These things are not done by daily pay. You pay by milestone.

With respect to the bolded, he or his mum should know that it does not require the engineer to be on site except there are other real engineering jobs being carried out on the site that requires his supervision and over seeing.

Ayohbk:
Hello everyone, I'm here again for advice. Thanks for your continous support.

I have a renovation project for an old building bought last year. To be converted to a modern style storey building consisting of 4 2-bedroom flats and 2 one room self contain.

After months of several bureaucratic hurdles, the project started approximately in April this year. The engineer I used for this project was brought by my mum who knew him because he had done similar project in our area. When I was in Nigeria in February, I met him and discussed with him and he was of the opinion that the project is something that can be completed in 3 months. I told him that's ok but I'm not in a Rush and I will continue the work until a stage I can afford.

Agreed payment mode for the engineer was 20k per day. Before leaving Nigeria, I asked him for a list of what will be done at each stage and time period. He gave me the list we discussed and agreed on things that Will be done in first month.

After returning to my base, I realized the project was moving really slow, even my mum who brought the engineer complained of the engineer of having few workers. April and May went by without much work done, only significant thing completed was the roofing, of which it was my mum who brought the carpenter for the work.

So before June , I asked the engineer to provide a list of what Will be done in June and the finances required. He sent it and I gave an ok to it. Until now, we are still on the stage of arranging blocks, demarcation of flats and construction of staircase. We are almost at the end of August we are still on that.

Last week, I was angry and I asked my mom to forward my voice note to the engineer where I stated that I was not satisfied with the speed of work of the engineer. The reply by the engineer was that "oh, renovation work is not rushed" "We should start buying materials for other stages like windows, doors, electrification and plumbing" even though he's not done with the demarcation of flats, talk less of plastering. There was no sense of responsibility or accountability from his end at all.

It's not like the there's no money to Start buying materials for the next stage. But at least Work should get to some level First before we start with that. I'm really frustrated with the project right now, because I can't plan for anything else because of it. I don't have direct contact with the engineer. My mum does.

I will like to ask your opinion on this. Is this normal pace? And also I'm at the Stage of wanting to change the engineer, do you think it's something I can do easily. Please note that this engineer was the one who handled most bureaucracy required for the project. I'm just really frustrated and feel tied down by the project. I wish to reach a stage of the project that I can finance and plan for something else with my life.

Please Note: We have only paid the engineer for 2 and half months of work. Even though we are Still on the stage we planned for first month.

From my understanding of this write up , it's clear your agreement with the Engineer through your mum is just verbal.
I remember when you brought up this issue sometime and many rendered their opinions/advice with I included.
If the engineer is still on first stage work in the second month then you'll have to go hard on him otherwise you may still be on that project till December and nothing to show forth because it's the engineer who would be cashing out from the daily payments as agreed.
You need to tell your mum to be hard and firm on him. Let him stick to his schedule of works to be achieved very fast.
I can't think of any better thing now than for you to start paying him #10,000 per day till he completes both stages of work he is indebted to. You have to do a renegotiation on his daily rate and cut it down or let him come up with a default penalty since he has not met up his words with actions on the project.

....as Mining Marshals warn against biased reporting, seek media backing


https://dailywatch.ng/media-must-join-fight-against-illegal-mining-nuj-fct/

We keep hearing recycled news.
How will a security outfit be telling the populace that powerful Nigerians are behind such illegal mining and only use foreigners are fronts.....!!!!

It's so funny.
If the security agencies feel they can't enforce the law then they should stop telling Nigerians these stories.
The enforcement of laws is not meant to catch the not powerful ones but it's for all.
There's none more powerful than the security agencies for they are backed by law.

Bro I get you but if make God no let us jam them o.

Imagine community youths saying someone that wants to repair their community road should settle them first. The man vex no kuku do am again.

Many such cases. Very disheartening.

Yeah, the bolded is disheartening. Nevertheless no one can force development on anyone, those who want it will get it.

I also think the State government should do something about those riff raffs coming to stop such philanthropy. There are ways to engage such persons which depends on the nature of the job. But the State government needs to do a lot.
I just hope whenever Gov. Fubara is re-instated he should do some about such .

Also I think it would also be good in areas where such riffs raffs come for settlement even when the project construction doesn't affect their farm lands or building the community should be told they will be taxed daily for using the road upon completion that way everyone will respect themselves.

elasticlala:
What did you mean by “giving back to the community”? What did he take from the community before?

Simply put, the many followers he has on his channels that pays him. So since he is resident in Rivers State or from the State he is giving back in this way amongst many others he has been doing.

erad:
You are right. Just noticed it.

I hope it's enough to keep the road dry and I also hope his people appreciate it. We Nigerians can be so ungrateful and entitled at times.

Kudos to him.

There are those whose first and second name is ungratefulness. But that shouldn't stop one from doing such good work. This road benefits the entire community where it passes through, both the ungrateful and grateful will use it and tell their version of the story.

erad:
Not hating or anything but if there won't be a form of drainage on that road, it's as good as not doing it at all.

The second picture is showing a drainage on it's right side.. the left side is not visible in any of the pictures.

Flexymarketing:
He is doing well. Hope he is not preparing for a political post?

It's not a bad thing if he is. The State needs people like him. I don't think there are any of his type and he might even be doing that road even though he doesn't have any property there which is hard for many to do such kind of work..

If it's not poverty mentality why will a parent be saying they pay compensation for exposing his daughters' body in public!!!!!!


So of they pay the compensation will that now take away the body exposure, will that make and allow him to seat comfortable and eat the fat meal the money will give him?


To even think of it?

The lady in question is an adult, why is the parent the one saying such?

When he collects that amount finish, has he considered that she may likely not get a husband since her naked pics is all over the media and many have it in their phones.....
