What changes did the Kenyan protest bring so far?

Are you aware that the Kenyan government has reversed the tax rate to the old policy?

Ironically, the police would benefit from whatever changes the protest is aimed at bringing.

For those who'll participate in the protest, I'll advise they keep their video recording on, if possible, drones sef. As you can see, some hoodlums are ready to unleash mayhem, both the paid and opportunistic lots!

Nigerian police are crooks! When you drive from the West down South, you'll know what I mean. They have been extorting money from vehicles since the commencement of the fraudulent e-cmr. Imagine someone with a valid paper ( yet to expire) being asked the 'one year proof of ownership' and the stupid e-cmr. Is it not when you renew your papers you get to process all their evil papers alongside.
One thing I do and won't stop to do is, just don't let me know that you are a force person, I will in no wise render any assistance to you.

Where's Jay Jay and Anthony Joshua?

More like a ripple effect of the Dubai seeding! As a matter of fact, I thought it would be the other way round. Like Dubai has received a one year magnitude rainfall in a day, which should imply that rain for other countries must have fallen in Dubai.

Can someone please enlighten us on the car documents to be presented to VIO people?
They ask for all car documents and I have been of the thinking that they only have business with road worthiness paper. Are they supposed to ask for more than that?

Until the FG legalizes carrying of firearms by licensed individuals,such happenings will continue.
Imagine EFCC says no more night raids and you burst into my room claiming EFCC with firearms, I won't think twice before taking the shot! It means you're either an armed robber or a fake EFCC agent.

Dangote is only an expert in enforcing monopoly using political powers! I keep saying it, in a saner society, he cannot survive a free market with all his commodities.

Sacked employees should team up and start their own e-hailing app now.

Who's watched 'Blood Vessel'?

For a common man it's called 'smuggling', whereas for the influential it 'exportation'.

In the fast-paced and ferociously competitive airline sector, price wars have become like Siamese twins that can not be separated by the actors, as a surviving strategy.

While price wars are a common occurrence in the airline sector, they represent intense competition that sees airlines cut prices in an attempt to snatch passengers from their competitors. The subsequent implication may automatically trigger reduced margins and profitability. To thrive amid these price wars, airlines need strategy and competitive intelligence, specifically competitive flight price data to survive.

This is what is presently playing out in Nigeria’s air transport sector with focus on international flights since Air Peace, a Nigerian carrier, commenced flights to London Gatwick on March 30, 2024.

Prior to the entrance of Air Peace to the Lagos/London route, foreign carriers had, for many years, not only monopolized the lucrative route, but exploited the Nigerian travelers who were made to pay the costliest fares in the region while neighboring countries like Ghana, Togo and Benin Republic enjoyed very low fares.

The exorbitant fares by the foreign carriers reached its peak following the over $800 million of their proceeds trapped in Nigeria with the mega carriers withdrawing their lowest inventory fares, leaving the highest inventory fares for Nigerians to grapple with.

The withdrawal of low inventory fares by the foreign carriers saw airlines like Virgin Atlantic increase fares on the economy class to N2.353,200 for just a seat while the business class skyrocketed to N5,345,700 on the Lagos-London route.

For Turkish airlines, the economy class ticket for the Lagos-Istanbul route rose to N874,661 while the business class ticket jumped to N1,980,876.

This was the same situation Nigerian travellers experienced with other foreign carriers like British Airways, Delta Air Lines, Lufthansa, KLM/Air France, Air Maroc and Ethiopian Airlines.

Before the foreign carriers ganged up to increase their fares, economy class tickets on the Nigeria-UK route was between N400,000 and N650,000, depending on the booking period while business class was between N800,000 and N1.2 million.

The financial pressure the exorbitant fares inflicted on the Nigerian travelers became so unbearable that those who could not afford it were forced to suspend international trips while some like students shifted their patronage to the neighboring countries where low inventory fares were available.

The rip off continued even after the federal government had paid the substantial part of the trapped funds with the outstanding funds now put around $29 million.
Relief however came with the commencement of Air Peace flights to London.

Immediately Air Peace announced its fares which have been found cheaper and more affordable for Nigerians, the foreign carriers, out of fears of losing their Nigerian, passengers to Air Peace have engaged in price wars for survival.

According to investigations, majority of the foreign carriers operating on the Nigeria/London route have conspired to drastically slash fares to the point of charging fares lower than Air Peace fares.

Apart from introducing new incentives and more friendly marketing strategies, the foreign airlines are neck deep in dangerous battles for market share that is capable of sending weaker airlines out of business and equally wreak havoc on profit margins or even challenge the very survival of Air Peace.

A price list sighted by Saturday Tribune showed Air France luring passengers to book between May 15 and June for economy class seat on the Lagos/London route with N907,782 fares as against the over N2 million for the economy it charged before now.

British Airways has also slashed its fares on the Abuja/London Heathrow to N1,394,536 as against the over N3 million it was formerly charging. Now, an economy class ticket on Virgin Atlantic from Lagos to London has been brought down to N980, 654,000 as against the N2.353,200 it used to charge.

The ongoing price wars and other gang ups by the foreign carriers which has raised concerns amongst key players have been attributed to the desperation of the mega carriers to push out Air Peace out of the Lagos/London route.

The price war strategy adopted by the foreign airlines has been described as one of the unjust engagement of the use of international Aero politics to frustrate any African carrier they see as competitive like Air Peace.

Many of the foreign carriers are said to be uncomfortable with the presence of Air Peace in view of its capacity in the areas of modern day aircraft in its fleet that can compete favourably with those of the foreign carriers.

The global record of the Nigerian carrier as a carrier that had in the past engaged in flight operations between Nigeria and other countries like China, UAE, Israel Brazil and South Africa during the pandemic seamlessly may have caused sleepless nights for the foreign carriers.

Many key players while reacting to the foreign airlines price wars described the market as extremely agile and impatient. They advised Air Peace to urgently change its game plan by making “the world taste what it means to be a truly Nigerian brand. You could see the presence of intentionality in their campaigns. It shows a clear understanding of the market. They are unleashing on Air Peace products of insights derived from the algorithm in their passengers platforms. They know where these customers are, they have their details, they may even be engaging passengers directly.”

The sudden reduction in the fares the key players said will be for the benefit of the Nigerian travelers who are the brides. They, however, expressed surprise at how the foreign airlines that refused to reduce their fares ab initio suddenly slashed the fares just to get at Air Peace.

Guys take caution out there.

The Lagos state government has commenced the collection of levies for cars parked outside the perimeter fence of companies.

A setback is a minimum distance from a property line to which a building must be set back from a street or road, among others.

In a letter seen by TheCable, dated August 15 and sent by Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) to Nellies, a food and snack company, the agency charged N290,000 for parking lots on setbacks.

According to the letter, the agency charged N80,000 per annum on three parking slots for off-street with N50,000 as nonrefundable administrative processing fee.

The Lagos State Parking Authority, established under the law to consolidate all that relating to parking and its connected purposes with powers and functions, clearly states that the Authority shall, among others, be responsible for all forms of managed parking in the State,” the letter reads.

“In view of the above, and in line with the administration’s policy in moving Lagos state towards a 21st-century economy to align with the first pillar of THEME’S Agenda of which transportation is key, your organisation is hereby served this demand notice for the setback parking (Off-Street) in front of your premises before the commencement of enforcement action.

“Based on the inspection, we identified three (3) parking slots on your setback at the rate of N80,000 per slot per annum totalling N240,000.00(Two Hundred and Forty Thousand Naira) only.

Something seems off about this post. Being in industry for a couple of years, I can humbly submit that both E&P and oil servicing COYS don't joke with written and spoken English. The OP's syntax isn't close to what is acceptable, no insult intended please.

They'll keep returning as long as the electorates allow them. Late Ajimobi lost the bid because the people said NO. Until we learn to say 'NO!'

Educator! Of the four unions, who's influence is the strongest on the rest. I bet you, if ASUU gets a resolve, 50% of the problems is solved

Franklyspeakin:
Let me educate you. In the university 4 unions are on strike it is unusual for the 4 u ions to go on Strike at the Same time. Meaning this one has passed all of them. Just in case you don't know we have ASUU (Academic staff union of universities) SSANU (senior staff union of Nigerian universities) NAAT ( national association of academic technologist and NASU (non academic staff union of universities).

ASUU has finally agreed to call off its long strike action but reiterated that it will only happen if the federal government meets two major demands The president of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osedeke said the only reason why the strike will be called off is if the federal agrees to the UTAS payment platform and concur with the 2009 treaty He, however, stated that the agitation against the government was in the best interest of Nigerian students

Is it back on shelf?

It's a regular thing along Effurun-Sapele road, those officers would dip their desecrated hands into your luggage for no reason. The last time, the guy tried to distract me, but I refused to be distracted. Who knows what he wanted to plant in my car or luggage. Guys, always triple check their fingers before allowing them to search you and most importantly, for no reason should you be distracted, not even a phone call.

Fxzboyz! That's him!

Church bells 're ringing!

Oh god! Where do I begin? How do I shower praises on my darling without revealing his identity? No words could do him justice!

Berry has fallen helplessly inlove!

He's a Nairalander... He's so sweet and totally badass and extremely intelligent and exposed and incredibly goodlooking! Unlike many men here...

He and I used to argue here... But I've always liked him! He's so funny... And stubborn but that's a trait I really appreciate... He's such a man!

I'll create threads on him and our relationship as often as I can!

Wrong English, you should rather put, 'if beauty was felony, she'd be innocent' or 'if beauty was a felon, she'd be innocent'

Quite simple and straightforward, explore budgeting option and bulk purchases. You both sit down and draw a budget of what the available money can afford and learn to buy things in chain-bulk ( because most times you buy in bulk this month might last two months ore more, while some might last a week or two). Buy studying the pattern, you'll know when each item will be due. I only spend on my family with reckless abandon when I have more than excess, outside that we spend on budget.

Most times, your wife just wants you to get involved. When you as a husband is involved, you'll see the reality in clarity, you'll be able to judge whether the monthly upkeep will suffice or not.

If the hybrid inverter is PSW with mppt CC with good reviews and also from a reputable brand, you can buy it if it come at a cheaper price. So many MSW inverter are now in the market with pasted sticker of PSW. Most cheap PSW inverter are MSW, just do your research very well about the inverter before you buy it

Thank you for the response, I quite appreciate. The listed prices is exactly what is confusing me. I plan to set 3/3.5kVA assy, and I discovered that a 3.5kVA pure sine wave inverter (120k)+ 60Amps MPPT CC (90k) = 210k, whereas, I saw 3.0kVA hybrid inverter (50Amps MPPT CC) for 120k on Konga for 120k.


If to say the hybrid equivalent in split, 3.0kVA PSW Inverter+ 50Amp MPPT CC, I would still spend nothing less than 170k

Skillsnigeria:
.
The two options are okay, if you can afford hybrid inverter with mppt CC, you can go it. But as for me, I prefer separate inverter and charge controller. Because when the hybrid inverter has problem, I will need to repair it or buy a new one if the problem is serious ( which means I can't use my solar during that time) and also hybrid inverter are not cheap, but with separate inverter and CC, is very rare for the two of them to fail at once. If one of them fail I can easily buy a cheap one I can use pending the time I will gather some fund to buy better one. If money is not a problem, you can go for hybrid inverter
