If government is delaying paying N77,000 Allowance To Corps Members, then so too can the public sector. And that school paying a measly 30k can continue paying a measly 30k. 1 Like

Most though don't just blindly believe their friends or anyone because they know their friends can lie just as easily as they themselves can. Regardless, you are welcome to your belief.

| Business › Re: European Oil Refineries Shutting Down Operations As Dangote Distrupts Market by budaatum: 4:55pm On Nov 25, 2024 |
Dangote has seriously disrupted some people's business in a good way. According to S&P Global Commodities at Sea data, just 280,400 barrels of gasoline and blendstock was dispatched to Nigeria in the first week of the month, ending Oct. 6, via one MR, down from a weekly average of 1.3 million barrels in August. In the week ending Oct. 13, just one product tanker reported shipping gasoline to Nigeria, with just 290,567 barrels departing from Antwerp for delivery to Lagos. These two October cargoes fall significantly lower than the 12 dispatched in the first half of August and September respectively. 1 Like |

Except that your calculation is based on him remaining a cleaner forever. He'd likely be a cleaner for much less than a year, and might be promoted to head cleaner, managing 100s of other cleaners and therefore earning a cleaner manager's wage which might be triple a cleaner's wage an hour. Or he might go to school and become a UK lawyer and earn 100 times what a cleaner earns. Then ask you again, did he make the right choice to have left Nigeria? 4 Likes |

Point is, petitions and debates wouldn't remove neither Labour nor dump. People voted and will need to wait till the next election to kick either of them out. |

MindHacker9009:That's one way of looking at alchemy, except that, "Truth", is not alchemy. Another way of looking at it is as Philosophical Alchemy, a type of speculative thought that involves the search for material perfection through a creative process that combines human and natural forces, as was practiced in many cultures, including China, India, and Islam, and in the Western world from Hellenistic times. In Christianity, the eating of the body and blood of Christ can be considered to be alchemical. Ref: https://www.learnreligions.com/alchemy-95824 https://theopolisinstitute.com/leithart_post/alchemical-eucharist/ https://sacred-texts.com/oto/aba/chap20.htm In Buddhism, you abandon the boat once you've crossed the river. You do not carry a useless boat across dry land. Same with alchemy (and hermeticism, and religion in generally). One should not stick to the literal stuff many hold as beliefs once the literal has served the purpose of increasing one's understanding. Newton did this by becoming Warden of the Royal Mint after spending years trying to alchemically convert dross to gold. His mathematics came from his understanding of religions. https://www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/indians-predated-newton-discovery-by-250-years/ I always read your moniker alchemically. It gives it the deeper meaning of you hacking minds and inserting a payload of understanding. |

| Politics › Re: BEYOND THE DOLLAR: Measuring The Real Cost Of Petrol For Nigerians by budaatum: 8:01pm On Nov 24, 2024 |
Affordability is not about nominal prices; it is about the labour required to earn enough to purchase the commodity under consideration. For Nigerians, relatively stagnant wages, tax proliferation, limited social protection, and devalued naira make even the so-called cheap petrol unaffordable.Which makes me think about productivity. A farmer with a hoe can only produce so much in an hour, while a farmer with a tractor can produce a lot more. They obviously would be paid differently, and one more than the other. Same with a vulcaniser who has uninterrupted electricity, compared to one running off petrol. Nigeria needs to improve productivity so more more work is packed unto an hour and more pay is deserved. 1 Like 1 Share |

Funny enough, I dreamt of lemons last night. In my dream, I climbed out of the window on the third floor of a building to go and pluck lemons growing in the garden. When I got there I also plucked strawberries growing on a tree. (Strawberries don't grow on trees, they grow in bushes). All through my dreaming, I kept wondering why I was risking my life climbing down pipes when I could have just gotten the stairs, but the dream reminded me to take my vitamin C, which is high in lemons, as soon an I woke up. I'm only saying irrelevant this in appreciation of your thread. |
