davidif: Well that's the reason France is a mess today. All this nonsense socialism that they have inculcated into their system that artificially tries to prop up their employment rate by making it difficult for companies to go under and also make it difficult to fire people has also made some of these companies wary of hiring people and as a result of that France has one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the western world. I think policies like this are not usually cast in stone, what works here might not work there. It worked in the US and maybe it might just work for Arik too, it won't be good for the employees to be thrown in the already over saturated labour market. |

davidif: Wrong! In a free market system it's not the job of the govt to pick the winners and losers, that's the job of the market. When govt get involved they distort the market and destroy market discipline because if you bail people out of a problem that they themselves caused, what will be their incentive next time to prevent it from happening? Uhn?
It's about the principle behind it bro. If you bail this one out, what happens when Arik's competitor gets in trouble after making bad choices and they come to the govt begging for a govt bailout? Where do you begin to draw the line?
There is a reason why the govt bailouts of wall street was so incredibly unpopular back then. A lot of Americans were very angry that the govt intervened in the free market in the first place: that smacks of what socialist countries like China or Venezuela would do. and to even make matters worse was the govt had the audacity to pump money at the same banks that caused the recession in the first place (due to their recklessness) while ordinary people were loosing their jobs and houses. If that's not worthy of outrage then what is? You can look at it from the angle of making sure some citizens keep their jobs. Some advance economies are a mixture of capitalism and socialism. Don't forget that the US bailout as unpopular as it might had been returned their economy to the path of growth. |

davidif: Well that's the problem inn the first place? The govt has no business nationalizing Arik air; a private business in the first place. That's a third world move and it hardly works. I do not understand the economics behind it also, but it is better to keep the company afloat than allowing it to go under. I don't usually like to site examples from foreign countries on matters like this, but you will remember that the United States gave billions of dollars to banks during the last US recession to keep them afloat. |

Maybe I'm missing something here. Arik Air was never a government property or corporation until the take over by the government to prevent it from going under. It was started managed and mis-managed by Nigerians.
While Nigeria as a country is not doing well, but why blame the country or say the country is cursed because a few punks mis-managed Arik? |

The results analysed above are from the best public schools in Oyo State. Even at that a less than 60% success rate in Government College, Ibadan is even poor.
Oyo State government should as a matter of urgency reappraise her educational policies and strategies to reposition education in the state. |

The speed at which the whole process was conducted questions the sincerity behind it.
How will territories be marked out for the new kings? What will be the succession plan for them? How will new a olubadan emerge?
So many questions...without even looking at the financial burden that this will create on the already struggling local governments that have not had any election in the last 6 years...

Technology Market › Re: Can DSTV Dishes Attract Thunderstorms To Your Electronics? by bodejohn(m): 5:21pm On Aug 17, 2017 |
You need to ground or earth your dish also. Earthing the household is not complete if items like your satellite dish or solar panels are not bonded to the earth point in your house especially when you reside in areas that are prone to thunder strikes.
Run an earth cable from your dish to the earth pit or point in your house and you should be fine...this of course is in addition to a thunder arrestor place at the topmost point of your home. |
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Apply For The 2017 Procter And Gamble Fresh Graduate Internship Recruitment by bodejohn(m): 10:43pm On Aug 16, 2017 |
So I was informed about this thread earlier by a friend...and I decided to correct some of the misinformation made in the early reaponses.
P&G for those who know is one of the few companies that will recruit without asking you for anything more than basic minimum requirements...OND, HND or Bsc...nothing more...your work experience might be helpful but certainly not part of the requirements.
Every employee including interns have equal opportunity to grow within the ranks and get to the top of their careers. I personally know interns who are BMs and Group Managers in less than 5years...
And you don't need to know any big man in P&G before you get a placement if you are qualified. I will advise anyone who meets the requirements to apply following the steps in the job advert.
Best of luck. |

N.B: This is not sponsored, this is coming from a concerned Nigerian that is tired of things going on the same way since his primary school days, i just want my children to be brought up in a better Nigeria .
