ican2020: Tackling terrible bad roads situations in Nigeria needs a new approach cause you can’t be doing the same thing and expect to get a different result
Minister I wish you the best and gods speed while praying that you succeed in your quest to lessen Nigerians roads users nightmare
The approach of having full environmental and geotechnical report of the road corridor is a very welcome development.
With that said... I want to point out that: “improper implementation had always been the main problem in Nigeria”.
Not the lack of good ideas.
We have lots of good ideas... Very good ideas that are very perfect on paper while being explained to the last details.
But during implementation,, a lot of non-envisaged human factors would start showing up, and be causing serious set-backs to all those initial good ideas.
Most of the times, when someone is right, he is also correct.
But some times, he may be very right, but he won't be correct; and he would be faced with the dilemma of choosing whether to continue being right, or to entertain a little bend in his convictions in order to be correct.
So, if you're faced with such dilemma, which option would you go for?? Would you strongly maintain your stance on what you think is right, until a stronger logic or reasoning convinces you otherwise?? Or would you agree with popular stances which are opposed to your stance (even without a strong reason for doing so), so as to flow with the stance and be correct in their eyes.??
FURTHER EXPLANATIONS: Being right is when someone has a strong conviction that what he is saying or doing is good and proper and just. He doesn't need anybody’s extra opinion before he would know whether he was right or wrong. He is convinced by his own personally adjudged truth of the matter.
And then... Being correct is when someone says or does something which someone else (or which other people) agrees to be true. Truth in general sense is relative, and not absolute. So, what someone sees as true might not be so true to someone else. Thus, someone who always wants to be correct is not only convinced by his own judgement, but by the judgement and acceptance of other people.
For one to be right, he needs to have a lot of information in order to arrive at a good judgement and have his own personal opinion.
For one to be correct, all he needs is an opinion (or a popular opinion).
This subject is important to me and I need some kinda mature advise and some funny ones as our custom is over here.
So, I have been in this house that I live for a while, everything has been going on smoothly. But, recently some guy moved in to the flat directly beside mine, this guy is single, and looks great and a lot of things changed.
Fast forward to the present day, this guy has this girl who comes around every weekend and sometimes during the week and I have been working from home throughout this month and I my ear is full really. They have sex almost every minute and the lady moans really loud, I can't get in between them na. Some times, if there is light, I play music very loud, to help protect the other neighbours from participating in their ceremony as their young teenagers also in the compound.
But guys, the frequent moaning sound is kinda tormenting. I am not single, I have a girl, we are practicing celibacy, but Omo!
Guys, how can I manage this kind of situation please?
twilliamx: Cassava has many extract like crude oil, you get cyanide, flour, garri, fufu and most of all bio-fuel which can power a car from Cassava
Apart from flour, garri, and fufu.. How many if these other items can be produced in Nigeria?
Like, using Cassava as a commodity for the commodification of the Naira, and yet, export it for processing and arriving at the finished products which are then imported back into the country... right?

TemplarLandry: A billionaire is speaking you're saying you have an opinion.
And??
What is wrong with it?
Don't tell me that money controls you this much,, to the extent that whenever someone who has lots of money talks, even if he is your junior, you swallow your own words and throw your face to the ground in grand reverence to the power of his money..??
PaigeTaylor: Hello house. I'm too angry to type. Been married for 10 years with a kid. 10 long hard years.
He always assures me and portrays himself as a faithful man. I have never suspected him of committing adultery, not because he's not capable, but because I wanted to give him benefit of doubt. I wanted trust to be in my marriage because I'm extremely faithful to him. He disvirgined me on my wedding night.
But he does A LOT of flirting on social media. Passwords his phone from me. This has caused a lot of problems between us, almost leading to marriage break up many times, until people advised me to stay off his phone, which I did. I lost my job since February and have been unable to get another one.
Now I'm learning some soft skills online, using my phone but it got to a point where I couldn't proceed because it's an old phone. I told him yesterday morning that I would love to use his phone, he said ok when he returned from work.
Only for me to go to his browser to enter a website address, I started seeing past searches from him. LOVE SMS YOU CAN SEND TO UR CRUSH LOVE MESSAGES YOU CAN SEND TO UR EX GIRLFRIEND.
The one that shook me to the bone is, HOW TO SEDUCE MY SISTER INLAW.
She came to visit two weeks back. She is very beautiful and plump and he has always told me he had a crush on her. So I know. And those internet searches are RECENT.
I feel so disgusted by his presence now, so much that I don't allow his body to touch mine on bed. I feel for my daughter, she's just 6 years and I don't have any money to take care of her. He doesn't take care of me either, but I have put up with him, I have struggled and suffered with him all these years. Only to see this on his phone. I'm beyond depressed.
He's talking of us celebrating our 10 years anniversary by December and thinking of inviting few family and friends. BUT I'M NOT INTERESTED. The love is dead. I've been played all along.
cornelboy: ......So was life on earth started by chance also, or it was consciously planned by the universe?
Please come again on this abbegg..!! You said UNIVERSE.??
There's a conscious and intelligent being behind the universe.
Rephrase Yourself abbegg.!! The Universe itself is extremely intelligent. The intelligence of the universe itself is what you're referring to..
Why would you still come to now say “...there must be a...”,, whereas you're seeing the beauty and intelligence of the Universe in itself..
So, you're saying that if you're already a very intelligent man, and be thinking on your own, with all the freewill that goes with the heavy thinking and choices, that you would now come again to say that someone else was the one doing all your thinking, and making all your choices for you??
The universe is like a programmed machine that does the same thing continuously and doesn't change.
This is not true. The universe keeps expanding in everything, and even in its own intelligence and in its own knowledge as an entity.
If the universe doesn't have a purpose, would there be planet earth, would there be man, would there be science, would the be Nairaland?
So, in all the vastness of the Universe, it is Nairaland and earth you're just squeezing everything about the universe into?? The purpose of the universe is earth and Nairaland.??
cornelboy: Okay lemme rephrase what I said, if the universe didn't have a purpose and wasn't created, would we be here today? That's even a small issue.
How did an unintelligent universe bring forth intelligent beings? How did a non-living universe formed life on earth? By chance? No way!
It's more reasonable to believe that there's an intelligent being behind universe than to say everything came by chance. I will take it as if everything you were saying since came by chance, you never meant them
Come back again.
Is the universe actually non-living??
Are the suns and stars and planets and galaxies actually non-living??
Or your seeing their various galactic forms of lives as lifeless,, just because they don't live their lives like the carbon-based lives here on earth?
The Universe is so intelligent on its own. Even the galaxies, and filaments. That's why they produce exact amounts of dark-matter on their own, just to balance their momentums..
Was it the “intelligent humans” who told the galaxies to do what they had to do in order to remain balanced while in their galactic motion?
The Universe itself is Zillion times more intelligent than the most intelligent human being ever. So, don't ever go there.!!
For any Creation, there is a purpose. I repeat.. What was the purpose for the creation of this particular universe?
cornelboy: If the universe didn't have a purpose and wasn't created, would you be here?
This discussion is not about me. We are still talking about the universe. So, don't try to divert to me.
And if you must come to me,, Then, what is the purpose of man? What is the purpose of me being here at this spot and time of the existence of the universe?
The universe is not in existence just because of humans.. And my existence is not special to the existence of the Universe.
cornelboy: I disagree with you. Those scientist with their tiny brains think they can full grasp how the universe work and how vast the universe is lol. What makes the universal balance keep the universe running?
The balance in the universe alone proves that it was carefully designed and planning by someone. There must be a cause and effect. Nothing can just spring out of nowhere. Or do you believe in magic lol?
The universe definitely have an higher intelligence behind it It was created by someone It didn't just exist without a cause.
For any Creation, there is a purpose for it.. right? What is the purpose of the universe?
