Biodun556:Don't mind those "some people". Ogun State has consulted babalawo and done the necessary and will win this case. The Chinese company will even have to compensate Ogun State and every Nigerian for causing us loss of reputation. Register here to receive your share. |
I actually expected 2000 Naira to the dollar during Buhari's term, and I'm surprised it never got there, but with NNPC's fake non-subsidy and Nigeria living on loans, I'd now bet 3k to the dollar and petrol at 2k a litre and bread made with sawdust. My desire not to depress anyone or get stoned is why I did not say 5k to the dollar, note. And I'm praying I am wrong. |
rdsco:The subsidy generation. They don't seem to know life is hard. Lishet: |
rdsco:He's here praying (begging) for food too, so I guess he hasn't learnt yet. |
He is having fun they say. And hopefully he's using condoms when he catches his fun so he does not catch Hiv and Aids and bring his fun home to you. It's been a year. How far? |
You don't deal with such parents. You know they can not feed you, so you need to start looking for ways to feed yourself instead of seeking alternative parents to beg from. Life can be hard for some like that, so either swim or sink. |
If it were better presented and if the sausages didn't look like they came out of a jar, why not?

If this were a 1979 car we were trying to revive, someone would tell me its a vanity job, done for show, and there's no way it could perform like a 2024 car though the cost of revival might likely be enough to buy a 2024 car. But I'm expected to believe a steel plant built in 1979 would be productive today and produce steel cheaper than can be imported from China. Thankfully, those we are taking loans to come revive it for us know we have presidential jets they can confiscate if we don't pay up. In 2002, the Nigerian government under Olusegun Obasanjo concessioned the project to Japanese Kobe Steel in an attempt at revitalization, however without much success. In 2004, the project was again transferred, this time to Ispat Industries. The deal was financed by Global Infrastructure Holdings Limited (GIHL) (now Global Steel Holdings Limited, GSHL), which is chaired by Indian steel magnate Pramod Mittal. The concession ended in 2008 after the government accused GIHL of asset-stripping. GIHL then sued Nigeria at International Chamber of Commerce.[6] The dispute was initially resolved in 2016, with Nigeria regaining control of the Ajaokuta Steel Mill in exchange for GIHL retaining the Nigerian Iron Ore Mining Company (NIOMCO) operating at Itakpe.[7][8] In 2022, the Nigerian government paid $496 million to GSHL to settle the claims.[9]The below is dated Friday, 5 Jan 2024 1:20:50. The Nigerian government has commenced discussions with renowned Chinese Company, Luan Steel Holding Group to build a new Steel Plant in Nigeria and commence the building of military hardwares in Ajaokuta Steel Plant. |
Yes you can wait and will wait, since you have no plans to kill yourself and go join him. Or do you? |
I wonder if this new tax law would stop iyalojs from collecting separate market fees and local government taxing for igr. |
I wish Nigeria had elected a different party at the last election so these sort of deals could be revealed. Thankfully, there's another election in 2027, and 2031, and 2035, and 3027. And we Nigerians can not continuously choose to cover our eyes forever so we don't see. |
RepoMan007:Zaria is not Ibadan? Damn! I thought it was. The Zaria purchase was not in the same year neither, nor under the same government or conditions! Exchange rates were different. Minimum wage was different, and peoples' satisfaction or dissatisfaction was not the same. Now compare. |
Meanwhile, UK sells Israel its genocide tools. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9964/

BATified23:You being sarcy? You should wish this man had been head of state and president of Nigeria before. If what you are sure of were true, Nigeria would be heaven with constant electricity and plenty and peace by now.

Skooltynz:I read your post. Please help me with .1k |
Floky215:Even when it means chasing people off land that is already owned and developed, because who cares about those non-jewish people? https://embraceme.org/blog/settlers-and-settlements-a-guide https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/

Gandollar for President Of Chad! ![]() Though I must confess that I don't trust we Nigerians not to elect him or sit at home and let him win with low turnout. budaatum: |
I thought it would be a lot less than this. Seriously like 8-12 tomatoes! Here is 2021 in Zaria for comparison. https://www.nairaland.com/6389889/see-tomatoes-onions-bought-50 |

Kobojunkieee:Have you not wondered why "industries, time and time again, go out to hire already trained minds from foreign countries to come work in Nigerian companies and schools"? And have you asked what those "trained minds from foreign countries" contribute? The answer to the first question is a lack of proper training in Nigeria indeed. And I don't just mean skilled training. A person trained to believe in the Gods has a different training to one who believes in the sweat of their brow. I'm talking work ethics here. The answer to the second is industry doesn't hire low skilled labour from abroad. It at best hires at management level. And even most foreign teachers are better trained than Nigeria teachers who are mostly untrained corpers. And now, to your question, "So what exactly is wrong with the state spending money it has already allocated for training anyways". I highlight "allocated", because I feel we both know no money is already allocated for training anyway, and even only a fraction of the money mentioned here will end up spent on the intended purpose. But even if money were allocated for training, what would we spend it training people to do if the jobs they are trained for do not exist? If I were to answer that, I'd say spend it training teachers, but we'd need to first decide what we want our teachers to teach. And I'd suggest they learn to teach students to use their own minds instead of mindlessly believe. |
HellVictorinho8:Hell, I don't think I need to promote distrust to people who already buy and sell distrust. As for kidnapping, you haven't got the balls for the work involved. |
Kobojunkieee:The training you refer to is employment based. Like a factory needs workers and trains people. Unfortunately, Nigeria does not have the factories today and so therefore do not need as many workers, which is why government is the largest employer in Nigeria. And we all know government produces nothing. Industry will train people if it can find a use for them to make profit. It unfortunately can't make profit, so the people are worthless to them, and not worth investing in, sadly. Government needs to refine its taxes and foreign exchange management to make Nigeria worth investing in. But the rate they are going, they'd likely tax more in the name of internally generated revenue, to fund their excesses, which will further kill off whatever industry there is. |
Kobojunkieee:I really did watch the right video.
|
Orlu13:I forgive you because you are hungry and devoid of sense use. |
Kobojunkieee:The first comment on the video was about oil money, though it mentioned only northerners and not all Nigerians. When oil boomed in the 70s, it became much cheaper to import than to produce at home, and that just about killed any innovation that would have kept our industries growing. The subsequent bust was the death kneel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-XMuEvXlQo?si=_6PuWAW-KFJWNN0F https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/glossary/resource-curse/ Corpers is like the scheme we are condemning here. It gives money to people in guise of empowering them when it really doesn't. And worst is that it suppresses employment and wages and training, since they can be turned over every year. Up to me, I'd want it scrapped or made more fit for purpose.
|
MIKOLOWISKA:They are funny people, lol, and want their uncast vote to count. |
MIKOLOWISKA:Very difficult to make people understand this. In fact, if people were truly hungry they wouldn't let the election be rigged, since the rigger is who is depriving them of their food. |
Kobojunkieee:Skills that can't properly be learnt in 8 months, lol. I'd have prefered if this money went into apprenticeships. Like pay half of it to a mechanic etc to take on an apprentice who is paid the other half. But when I thought of the need to monitor progress, which I doubt would be done, I just sighed. Better might be to invest it in our education system so corpers are not teachers. |
Kobojunkieee:I thought "vote buying" when I read it, If I pay people 10k a month they'll likely sell me their pvc even if they don't learn any skill. They sure will be empowering me to remain in office to enrich myself. |
BluntCrazeMan:Democracy is not just voting, but also includes the vigilance that ensures votes count. We conduct elections in our own communities, and should therefore ensure the number who go in equals those who come out. Voter apathy is to your detriment. It works for "them" and not for you. |
Mr. Chris Asor, a leading member of the civil society groups in Anambra and coordinator of Anambra State Civil Society Network (ANSCONET) said: “We think there should be a monitoring mechanism because many of the people who will get these funds or training are targeting the empowerment money, and to them it is like bazaar or windfall. The government must properly monitor these initiatives and ensure that those who are imparted with the skills and who get empowered are truly those who need it.They should have done research to find out how similar ideas have fared in the past. But of course we wouldn't! |
I so love the fact that you all don't bother to go out to vote and then claim the winner rigged the election. If I wanted to win an election, I too would promote this distrust you all have in elections, while paying my supporters to go out to vote. Its like Fela said. "If I want to knack your head, na from back". But I'm certain most of you would rather throw bricks at me.
