I hear it does, that they've been downing tools to reduce operational costs, or what else could be the reason?
I've not really experienced drop in their network speed sha, it has remained the same for me for a while now.

I don't think so o, a lot of Nigerian's expect the network providers not to increase prices or even they do, keep it low, like around 10-15%. Maybe they forget these network providers are for-profit businesses.

I just hope the price increases means they restore full service, cause these days it takes grace for you to make a 3-minute call without it dropping multiple times.
People holding that point of view are either ignorant or just selfish. Almost very goods and even services available has experienced increase in price ; so it is expected the Telecos adjust their own prices to reflect the current economic realities. I'm sure the telecos' employees would've had their salaries reviewed at least twice from 2023 till date.

Except the telecos want to be running at a loss and be unable to meet their financial obligations, they just have no choice but to increase their own price too.

I don't think the drop in their network/service has anything to do with the increment in tariffs sha

Nigerian's are fond of pointing fingers at the wrong things, maybe na social engineering sha, but I wonder how they expect the cost of practically everything else they know to have increased by at least 100% in the past two years, yet magically expect data and call prices to remain same.
I believe most people know the increment was going to happen sooner or later, they are just pissed that those influencers collected money to start the discussion on social media ni. Normally Nigerians always like to look for who to para for .

Me I know the increment will definitely happen because almost all the telecos' operating costs have increased astronomically.

Good for you
I'm sure people will come for Pamilerin and Lawrence (The guy that owns Yabaleft) cos they were part of the Influencers on Twitter that got the gig to promote discussion around Telecoms increasing their rates.

Sometimes last year those aforementioned guys and some other influencers who were obviously paid by the Telecoms just started discussion about why Telecoms have not increased their rates/prices when every other sector has adjusted prices due to inflation. People immediately called them Black Jesus/Judas for taking money to influence such discussion. I think Lawrence later deleted the thread sef.

Earlier this year when it was almost certain telecoms operator had gotten FG's nod to review their prices/rates, people still cuss Pamilerin, Lawrence and co grin. Only God knows what they will be doing to them now on Twitter

I don't think it's bizarre to expect the GM of an oil company to have his own place.

He is doing alright compensation wise.



There's an explanation.

Tommy used to be rich. He had his own outfit. Became successful but lost it all in a bust cycle.
He may be more frugal because of that experience.

Secondly, the wife and daughter were originally on a visit.
After spring break, the wife was to return to her now ex and the daughter to college.
They stayed longer than they should have.

The living arrangement is perfectly fine when you exclude the August visitors.
It's just two aged bachelors sharing a house. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Speaker McCarthy rented a room from Pollster Frank Luntz during COVID.
At the time he was the House Minority Leader.

That's an arrangement that'll work with even two tech execs who are friends but do not have large families.

The workers get man camps. The execs live in a spacious estate.
If they had families at the time of renting, they'll opt to live separately.
Not to mention, the series did not dig into their finances. They could have multiple properties elsewhere in the country.
This is the one close to work.
Texas is HUGE!

-Lord
Well, I was thinking at least at least Tommy should be living a decent life eating good food, having his own maid, having a driver who drives him and living in a decent house even as a bachelor.

I get the angle of Tommy being a top guy who lost everything when there was oil bust, but as of present he is a GM of a mid sized oil company; the company should be able to provide decent accommodation to each of their senior staff not the GM and the attorney to the company sharing the same building. The attorney making use of the house as office even makes it look somehow especially when u consider how Monty lives flamboyant lifestyle at the headquarters.

Monty died and Tommy assumed the role of the president on Monty's request but Tommy told cami to sell off the company instead (soft man they run from work) he just wants the best for the family
And his son didn't die
With the way Monty was polling pills, I knew it was only a matter of time before he kicks bucket.

So when the company was sold off, did Tommy now become rich? What about his son Cooper ; did he go to Complete his geology degree?

It is in Nigeria we have turned jobs to status symbols. People in the abroad call oil workers roughnecks.

Watch the deepwater horizon movie and you will see the same thing senior oil workers with simple life

Also no be Hilux them dey drive. Na f150, the most popular truck in the US, if not the most popular car.
I understand Ur viewpoint, but if u watch the series u will see that it seems the other guys working as normal rig guys are living better than him that happens to be a general manager.

Despite the fact that he's the one negotiating all the commercial and lease deals for his rich boss he just seem to be be living below his income bracket eating junk food from cans and all

Any truck wey be open back like that, na hilix we dey call am for here 😂

As in.... He's living like even those who are his subordinates who are that young Elvio that died has money than him sef. He's not living like a typical general manager of an oil exploration company would. I mean for someone who negotiates contracts worth millions of dollars almost every time, he seem too contented with a simple life he's living.

But that his wife is crazy sha grin

So you think the Lagos HoA which is likely 50% Christian with a Christian governor,
Oyo which is likely 50% Christian with a Christian governor,
Osun which is likely Christian with a Chrislam governor
Ogun which is likely 50% Christian with a Christin governor,
Ondo which is likely 80% Christian with a Christian governor,
Ekiti which is likely 80% Christian with a christian governor will approve Shariah?
The good thing about southwest is that u can't blackmail a muslim lawmaker emotionally by asking why he didn't vote pro-Sharia cos they don't even carry religion for head here in the southweat unlike the north.

If the state House does not approve it then it dead

In most SW states, half of the HoA are Christians who wont vote it. then the half who are moslems, half of those are liberal moslems wont vote for it

Unless the Sultan wants to come into the HoA and vote for it

Its the wish of the people that will get implemented. It is the state assemblies that will say whether they want Shariah or not

If a state says they want Shariah and the assembly passes it, Nothing the FG can do about it, About half of Nigerian states currently have Shariah and nothing the previous presidents did
Most of the state house of assembly will not adopt it in the South west , all those MURIC, Sultan of Sokoto and extremist Muslims just dey waste their time to nurse the agenda ni.

The North plan is to destabilize the SW in anticipation of 2027. Forget the Sharia thing, it’s not going anywhere.
I have this felling too cos everything seem to be well calculated on their part. One would be wondering why They are the one majorly calling for the Sharia thing while bulk majority of South west Are not supporting it.

Again, Shariah law is for Muslims ONLY, to guide their affairs and activities. Non Muslims should not worry about that. You're not more Yoruba than him...


If the marriages conducted by pastors, clergy, are statutory, then the same thing should be extended to the Imam/other Muslim leaders.

An intelligent Prof. Thank you Sir.





Shariah is for Muslims, I don't support the idea of Muslims in the SW suffering in silence. The Christians and traditional worshippers should learn how to live and let live. That's the true meaning of religious tolerance
Ishaq Oloyede is a professor of Islamic Studies and that his bias is making him lie bold facedly. How can he be misleading the public by making statements like this: “If there is a dispute in my marriage, where do I go? I don’t have the opportunity because I married according to Islamic rites, I will have to go to customary court where the customary judge knows next to nothing about my faith, about the laws on the basis on which we got married" ?

A customary court comprises of 3 to 5 members and at least one of the members will usually be knowledgeable in Islamic law.

These people just want to whip up sentiments and appear to be smart when in fact they are not. Anybody swallowing everything they are saying hook, line and sinker is equally not smart and just letting himself to be fooled by their half ass agenda. Since I was a kid who reads Newspapers every weekend while growing up, I've always read about divorce and other domestic cases that come up at Customary courts in Lagos.(i think there's one in Oshodi). Some of those cases involve Muslims and the presiding customary court officials will judge the matter on Islamic laws.

This yeye professor knows that Customary courts in the Southwest is equivalent to Sharia/Area in the north because we simply don't operate the same court/legal system. If he wants to enjoy Sharia he should go and be enjoying it in their Ilorin(Kwara state) which they have voluntarily ceded to the north by their actions and inactions. They should leave the Southwest the 4ck alone!

Don't be too sure he is fooling himself,Tinubu worshipped in this mosque during the December break ooo
With the schocking result APC had at the presidential election in 2023, Tinubu would be extremely foolish to give an open support for Shariah in South West.

Some South Western Christians voted for him because he's Yoruba and overlooked him being a liberal muslim and his vice a northern muslim. If he shows open support for Shariah those numbers will do him great Harm. That is the same reason why u see the South Western governors like Seyi makinde, Oyebanji and Dapo Abiodun quickly coming out to play down any talks about Sharia in Soutth West. They know even if they are already in their second term, they still need to win the next election for their preferred candidates and supporting Shariah openly might jeopardize that dream

The north are after agenda here, gradually they will turn the country to what the present north have become or Afghanistan
Emilokan should stop this madness
They definitely have an agenda and some of our own people are refusing to see the agenda. They fail to see that the Northerners will always put their own interest first before anything. The NSCIA that is the political arm of muslims is occupied by the Sultan of Sokoto as the lifetime head and Shehu of Borno as lifetime deputy head.

Imagine southerner no occupy any lifetime postion, na only positions opened to election dem put southern muslims. People wey no rate u as fellow Muslim wan still dey tell u what to adopt and what not to adopt in ur own region. Smh
