This is madness, stupidity,illogical
Lewy suppose donate this man 1month to charity or send him for rehab
How do you defend with short 2 with fvcking dangerous high line
City will score 20 goals with this nonsense tactics

Udogie messed the whole Tottenham team up yesterday . He has no business making that lunging tackle hoping he will get the ball before a fast sterling does .

Immediately he got that second red card he threw the rest of the team under the bus straight .

I don’t think the match is necessarily about Tottenham playing high line going forward in the match ; most of the times it was chelsea that put them in that position. A two-man deficit as early as 60 minutes is not what even a Simeone coached Athletico can survive in at that level . I give chelsea kudos for not being foolish to try to penetrate the middle but work the wings really well to get their deserved win

Iamoyindamola it has started already .

I don't know where you are but lagos, abuja, osun have good roads
These are the places have stayed for some period of time
And the electricity id not meant for cars alone, it will reduce the demand of petrol,diesel and gas
Rumor has it majority of industries that left the country was because of cost of production which include running generator 24/7 because of power supply

Which FG roads good for this Lagos? Is it Ikorodu road? Lagos-Abeokuta expressway? Apapa-TinCan Island? Or Lagos-Badagry expressway?

How do i tell my Ivorian friend that i haven't reached home since yesterday when i called him was at the border 9:00pm and mind you the distance between is barely 260km.

A yoruba man was minister for works for 8years yet the only FG road you can drive for about 2km without terrible potholes in the whole of south west is only Lagos-Ibadan expressway.


We will learn the hard way. Make we dey play.

Just tell him : Le our road, la pothole full am

What does this government have to offer us exactly
They allocated billions to themselves and will continue to squeeze out stipend from civilians

This is sadly funny.

They want Universities that have always complained of inadequate funding to start remitting 40% of whatever they make to the government.

Omo! I can only imagine how lecturers will milk this one to their advantage. VC and school senate will tell the staff they don't have enough funds to run the school, lecturers will go on a taxing spree with the students at their mercy.

Students will practically be buying rims of paper for lecturers to print research papers, they will require them(students) to repair their printers when they are faulty, some lecturers could even go as far as requesting for their computer systems to be replaced by students when they go bad. Most students will fall in line except they don't have intentions of graduating with their mates

I was thinking the FG would even increase government's funding of varsities before pulling this stunt. The way school fees will jack-up this coming new year ehn....Some indigent students may have no choice but to drop out.

[color=royalblue]Day don break for most people.

Everybody is selling what they like; Yoruba or Igbo no concern anybody. Some very few are starting to learn the hard way.

Like i always say, it is only online i see people supporting Tinubu well.

Enter a commercial bus driven by a Yoruba man, and tell him Tinubu is moving us forward, and see if he won't change it for you.

At some point, people wont care anymore. The very basics for the poor, irrespective of tribe and religion, are not within their reach anymore[/color]

This reminded me of my mechanic. The last time I was there if u see the way he was vibrating ehn; he nearly change am for his colleague at the workshop who is an agabdorian and was gaslighting him. He was cussing Tinubu and nearly cuss his colleague join because since the whole subsidy removal business has not gone as usual for him, general rise in prices of commodities and cost of fuel has led to low patronage for him.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Nigeria will soon break down completely, and this is not me being pessimistic.

We are buying fuel at 620. Imagine what those in Borno are buying it.

At some point, people will not be able to cope because, truly, they can't

EndSARS would be child's play to what is coming[/color]

Before the country breaks down, be rest assured that the tribal and religious card will be played by the government in order to make sure any form of protest/movement against the government does not have one voice.

That is the last joker in the hands of this government that has mastered the art of propaganda.

Until the people can rise above tribal, ethnic and religious affiliation; I doubt we will see the government taking the people seriously.

The only effect I'm starting to notice now like someone else mentioned on twitter is, companies are seriously in need of good hands but for obvious reasons, they can't afford to pay what the good hands are requesting for. Eventually they make do with whatever they can find and productivity suffers.

A recruiter recently engaged me for an interview. Asked what my salary expectations are. Told her 1.5 of what I currently earn. That was the last I heard of her.

These are real issues. The whole japa thing is making good roles open for experienced hands but employers don't want to pay as much as they pay the person leaving the system. They want a like-for-like replacement for the openings, but they want their admin costs to miraculously reduce in view of the current economic relaities.

GloriousGbola:
the story of subsidy goes all the way back to IBB if i remember properly.

like Mr Ibu, nigeria is unfortunately at a point where no matter what you do to address subsidy there will be consequences.

It is what it is

As far I’m concerned Tinubu has only come thru on his words for making a bad situation rotten .

From where I stand Buhari led the country into misery and Tinubu has only continued from where he stopped . How can u promise the people renewed hope and get all u’ve done since ascension to power is continue in serious profligacy in the face of current eceonomic realities ? . The same Tinubu is appointing more ministers than his predecssors, creating more ministries , continued in borrowing to pay for frivolities like luxury vehicles , etc …. all of which are done while the common man has had his income eroded significantly .

How does the government expect the economy to experience increase in productivity when a law abiding citizen like izzou is finding it difficult to cope with cost of transportation amongst other costs to continue to do business?

I undertand the government will always write glossy words on the pages of news bulletin and journals talking about how “we will pull through together in this difficult times “ , but I can tell u that the common man on the street is getting the shorter end of the stick.

GloriousGbola:
the FG was owing NNPC trillions in subsidy payments , NNPC had stopped remitting to the federation account for this reason. there was really no choice in the matter. IMHO tinubus mind was made up on removal of subsidy from the get go.

it was a case of Nigeria gets fu-cked on removal of subsidy, or nigeria gets fu-cked on no remittals from its sole income earner.

On today’s episode of “APC led FG 4cked us ; APC led FG is trying to un4ck us “….. we should be grateful .

GloriousGbola:
The Government is seriously planning on CNG. As I write this I am working on part of the design of the second of over 50 projects converting /upgrading petrol stations to autogas ie supplying lpg and cng for vehicles. Unfortunately these things take time. Design to tender to construction to handover. There is a lot of pressure and it is made worse by bizarre cheaping out by the project sponsor. A single project will probably take 9 months from contract award, if we are lucky.

The other major marketers also have their own plans. A friend had me do a quick mockup of a multi energy retail station.

A company named Greenville rolled out preliminary cng stations as far back as 2013 and seem to now be bringing them online.

We will have to hang in there

I only hope once cng comes on stream we will not see the same weird spike in price that we saw with lpg. Lpg has risen from 6k for 12.5 kg in May to 11k now. And it is not imported but sourced from nlng. At some point the govt may step in.


As for electric cars, electricity is only commercially viable for bikes and keke napep imho

A regular ev will take 8 hours to charge on a normal outlet. On a fast charging outlet 1 hour will require 30kva. 30 minutes in the range of 50kva. Izzou can do the maths. We don't have steady power yet so you are spending on diesel

A 50kva gen brand new and unfked with burns 11 litres per hour. Cost of diesel at 1200 is 13200 to charge the car in 30 minutes. That is the base cost as other costs will be factored in. So a 30 minute charge for a consumer vehicle may come to 20 or 25k or more. Now multiply that for buses. For buses it gets much harder as you have to have a central charging hub and the buses must have enough charge for a working day. And a bus may require 200kva for an hour charge.

Solar power cannot replace conventional fossil fuels. You want solar in your home, you understand immediately that it is a spartan existence. Acs, iron, kettle will immediately hammer your battery life. You keep it simple and stick to lights and electronics and new fridge / freezer. Unless you have DEEP pockets and can invest in expensive solutions. But this can't work commercially. In the places where it is used, there are govt subsidies in place.

Fast charging may be cheaper for smaller vehicles. Keke napep bikes, korope. However the the technology for these is out of China. Oyibos get apple designed in California quality from China. Nigerians on the other hand get designed in cottage industry with collaboration from dodgy hustlers quality. What I like to call showroom warranty. Works fine in the showroom but after that you are oyo.

So they know all of these would take this much time yet somebody just wake up on his first day at work and pronounced “ Subsidy is gone “ casually .

It’s been 5 months after subsidy removal ; the poor can barely breath anymore , the middle class have had their savings eroded and their current earnings just to pay for their day-to-day living expenses , while the rich are having their naira investment shrinking day-by-day.

They know CNG stations would not just materialize out of thin air yet they are listing provision of CNG buses as one of the immediate palliative being rolled out by the government .

They know about our power situation in this country yet we are thinking of electric buses that we will end up using expensive diesel to charge .

It’s been 5 months already since that ill fated announcement and we are yet to see any workable plan to tackle the after-effects of subsidy removal . People like izzou are finding it difficult to do business because the cost of doing business is not worth the risk and reward attached to it. I know some people may want to talk about the palliative they promised to share to million of households but we all know this is Nigeria and those who need those interventions the most won’t get it eventually .

If we had a good labour ubion , the after-effects of this subsidy removal without plan is enough to cause serious mass protests that will shut down the economy of the country and make the political elite sit and discuss the way forwrad with the people that elected them to serve.

Instead Ajaero and his gang are busy with how to win Ino state election for their preferred candidate and getting pummeled by opps headed by Hope Uzodinma . I have zero sympathy for Ajaero and whatever beating he has collected and may still collect in the future .🙅‍♂️

Una wey dey do business are the real MVP’s in this Tinubu era o.

larride:
Maybe from the State Govt, it's not possible for the FG own.

It's the stipends from PPA's( State government, federal government and some private companies that they tamper with).

Even the normal 19,800 allawee, na inside camp we collect complete N19,800. Subsequent ones were usually lesser than N19,800 and nothing was done about the 300-400 naira that is always short every month till end of service year.

Correct man. Congrats.

Thanks; e still dey in the pipeline sha.

When I served, I heard the stipend paid to corp members was different from the actual amount federal govt paid. So there were Ogas chopping part of the money.

It's a very big racket. Even banks follow join sef; those ones will always make sure ur allawee is not complete by the time u receive alert.

Normal N19,800.00 dem go pay u N19,500 instaed; God knows where the N300 difference always end up sef.

A40:
I've always known it was one huge racket even back then but as times have changed there should be a push to make it optional, after all it would also save them having to pay allawee to the people that do not want to partake.

I'm sure there's people that see value in the program as they might have problems finding fulltime jobs moving forward let them do it and allow those who want to opt out opt out.

Truly believe it should be optional instead of mandatory, at least we would have fewer people going through the hassle of forging certificates for a useless program that doesn't even guarantee competence anyway

As far as I'm concerned, it's a waste of one full year of an adult's life. Apart from affording one the opportunity to know more about the culture & traditions of ur host state, I really do not see the value the scheme offers.

A40:
Can't they just scrap that useless program. Not that the purpose of which it was established has not outlived it's purpose and Nigerians aren't more divided than ever.

Would even be better if Nigeria had like an Israeli program where people get paramilitary training and something useful not that mandatory 1 year of waste they subject Nigerians to

Even before I served, I've been calling for the NYSC service year nonsense to be scrapped. It was during NYSC I realized they won't scrap simply for the following selfish reasons:

1. The vendors/contractors who supply uniforms, jungle boots, books, orientation materials and even food on camp are powerful people.

2. Most of the state government and federal government schools are under-staffed. Some schools don't even have permanent teachers for important subjects like English, Physics, Economics, Financial Accounts, etc. Year after year they use NYSC members to run those subjects.

3.Some private organizations in places like Lagos, Abuja etc prefer to use NYSC members for cheap labour. They use them to handle graduate jobs and pay them stipends without any commitment to employ them permanently after the end of the service year.

afrodoc2:
Nice one.! Shey na dat runs? Or another one?

No, na another level . Na matters arising necessitate am

This country is quite unbelievable. NYSC went to court with evidences to show that the discharge certificate being paraded by the Enugu state governor is fake and not issued by them.

SaharaReporters had reported that Governor Mbah, in his court filings, claimed that he duly completed his national youth service and was given a certificate of discharge.

The governor earlier sued the NYSC, claiming N20 billion in damages for what he described as conspiracy, deceit, and misrepresentation of facts.

Mbah is also seeking a declaration that he participated in the NYSC scheme for one calendar year via a call-up letter numbered FRN/2001/800351 with the Lagos code LA/01/1532.

He argued that the declaration must state that he was issued a certificate of national service numbered A808297 upon completing his service year in 2003.

But contrary to these claims, the NYSC, in its deposition, which SaharaReporters sighted on Sunday, insisted that the Enugu State governor did not complete his service year and that the certificate of discharge he parades was not issued by the body.

To prove its claim, the NYSC filed as evidence, the data sheet where Mbah was to have signed and collected his discharge certificate, saying that while the certificate presented by the Enugu governor bears the serial number - A808297, the one prepared for him, but which he did not collect, bore the serial number - 673517.

In what looks like forensic evidence, the NYSC made reference to the calligraphic writing on Mbah’s certificate and stated that the style of the writing on the governor’s certificate was quite different from the one on all other certificates issued to discharged corps members during his batch.

Stating that the corps directorate hired one person for the calligraphic writings on all certificates, it insisted that there was no way Mbah’s own could be different from those of other corps members that passed out during the same period.

“The 1" Respondent's (NYSC) National Directorate Headquarters issued the Certificates for the Members of the Service Corps in Lagos State, including the Certificate of the Applicant, using a Certificate Issuance Register.

“The register indicated the basic data of the Members of the Service Corps, including their State Code, name, Call-Up Number, and Certificate Number in serial form. A copy of the relevant page of the Certificate Issuance Register at the National Directorate Headquarters, showing the Applicant in asterisks with Certificate Number 673517, is attached herewith and marked as Exhibit ‘NYSC 5,’” the NYSC said in its deposition.

The NYSC also stated that contrary to Mbah’s claim that his probable date of discharge was September 15, 2002, his probable date of discharge upon completing his programme at the Nigerian Law School, was September 15, 2003.

It was further averred that Peter Mbah was not issued any discharge certificate by the NYSC because he did not complete his service year, even when he was mobilised for the same.

The NYSC further noted that the discharge certificate prepared for him was later returned to its headquarters, along with other unclaimed certificates, after which it was destroyed along with other unclaimed certificates, in the presence of security operatives.

“Following the 1" Respondent's Top Management's directive on 18th August 2021, all the outdated, unused, and cancelled Certificates of National Service and Certificates of Exemption, Certificates of absconded Members of the Service Corps, including the Applicant's Certificate Number A673517 which he was not available to collect, have been disposed of by incineration,” the NYSC further said in its deposition.

Yet somehow, the court there's no enough evidence to conclude the certificate is fake

A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday dismissed the allegations of forgery of a discharge certificate brought against the Enugu State Governor, Barrister Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, by the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo threw away the allegations following the inability of the Corps to prove and defend the allegations as required by law.

The judge, in a judgment in a suit by the Governor against the NYSC, imposed a fine of N5 million on the Corps to be paid jointly to the plaintiff for suppressing facts and conspiring against him in the heinous allegations.

The court held that with the unchallenged evidence of the plaintiff on how the discharge certificate was issued to him in 2003 by NYSC after serving in a law firm in Lagos and the inability of the Corps to come up with counter-evidence, it was crystal clear that the plaintiff served the mandatory one-year service.

Among others, Justice Ekwo held that while the onus to prove forgery allegations lies heavily on the NYSC, it failed, leaving Mbah’s evidence heavier and more believable.

Mbah had sued the NYSC and its Director, Corps Certification, Ibrahim Muhammad, for publishing a disclaimer, denying the issuance of a discharge certificate issued to him on January 6, 2003.

The NYSC had, on February. 1, written a letter signed by Ibrahim Muhammed saying that the Corps did not issue the NYSC certificate in Mbah’s possession

E go still reach one stage for this country, only ex-convicts and certificate forgers will be allowed to contest for elections.

[color=royalblue]What I don't understand is how a full blooded Nigerian is losing sleep over the Israel Hamas War, when we have our own here.

Everyday, you drop more than 5 comments on this issue, but BK and Bandits just killed youths like you, and you said nothing.

Saudi this, Saudi that...UAE this, UAE that.., but everytime i go on CNN, these guys have not paused their economy of day to day living in protest against Israel.

I was expecting the protesters at Iwo road, Ibadan not to have gone home. They should have stayed there till the war becomes over.

Your house dey burn, you carry slippers dey pursue rat.[/color]

Let me shock u! Those protesters went back home to meet darkness cos IBEDC dey ration limited electricity supply between communities.

They never protested for not enjoying constant electricity supply even in the 63rd year of existence of their own country . Na wetin dey happen for country wey no send them be their own concern . Smh .

I don’t think there’s need for any bad blood between guys here over Israel and Palestine matter .

No matter what u think or believe about the whole Israel-Palestine matter , it changes nothing . The Arabs in Palestine will do anything to annihilate the Jews of the chance presents itself ; The Jews on the other hand wil kill as many Hamas members that remian on the surface of the earth and won’t mind killing their sympathizers with them irrespective of whether they are shielded between children or the sick in the hospital .

If anybody saw videos of the October 7 terror attacked on Israel and think it’s Hamas protesting “years of occupation and injustice “ ; then that same person suddenly found his voice when Israel is striking back with such ferocity , l-dont-Care-ism , and complete disregard for the optics ; then know that such a person is is being hypocritical .

It is a given that the Jews and the Arabs will have a go at themselves , and the rest of the world will speak from different view point that favours them in international politics . If una dey insult una selves for here it doenst change anything .

When Israel-Palestine finish their war u will continue ur life as a Nigerian who still Carries that green booklet that subjects u to serious scrutiny anywhere u enter

Martinelli cannot even beat liramento just once ! 🤦‍♂️
