If you like get your skills from heaven. You think Ghanian govt is as stupid as yours? establish a company in country and fill it with citizens of another...such can only be accepted by Nigerians...so stupid.

I'm not saying you can't get a job there but 99.99% of the job goes the Ghanians, afterall they created the enabling environment. Unfortunately for you, they have the skill and Twitter management actually considered that before the big decision.

Nigeria is a joke of a country.in the next couple of years Ghana will be Africa's giant.while Nigeria will turn to Africa's cess pit.

babadee1:
Ghana will not agree to that and rightly so. If Nigeria wants the jobs then they should create the proper infrastructure and right environment. We cannot expect to reap where we did not sow.

redcliff:
stupid talk. Na ghana no get the individual skills too? Nigeria's political/economic situation it tooooooooooooooo unstable to host anything. Its such a pity

CSTRR:
Twitter is not choosing Ghana for the infrastructure.

Infact Nigeria has a much more advanced tech ecosystem than Ghana, most of which was built by the Nigerian Private sectors.

Twitter chose Ghana because it has a progressive govt with stable policy system.

President akufo addo has a world-class team.

At this rate, If we don't start electing progressive govts, we would lose it all to Ghana.

Electrical Tomatoes

The emboldened is about the only bit of this that got my attention but I notice it caught no one else's.

"Price controls"! It means a product is kept at a price set by government, and in Nigeria, we know it's kept low and very likely beneath the cost at which it can be sold at a profit. Like petrol really. But we can at least claim a reason for petrol with our crude oil and our ineptitude at running refineries. Electric though!?

Imagine it were tomatoes. You invest in land and fertiliser and labour and grow them, and when you get them to the market, government sets the price. I'm absolutely certain if that price is higher than the cost at which you grow your tomatoes, you wouldn't mind much. You'd likely be delighted if it's high enough for you to make a tidy profit. And if you're fortunate and the price set is so high, you'd likely invest in more land and more fertilizer and more labour and grow even more tomatoes. But this is Naija, where the price set by government is more likely to be way below your costs so that after you sell your tomatoes, you would have lost money.

Now think, you lost money on your tomatoes. Are you going to plant tomatoes next season? If you're into the charity business or you're stupid, you just might. But if you're not and have rent and school fees for your kids to pay and you want to eat and pay the interest on a loan I very much doubt you'd be stupid enough to throw your money away growing unprofitable tomatoes!

Well, that's the case with electricity in Nigeria I'm afraid. You generate it, transport it along unreliable transmission wires, lose a large chunk of it to illegal use and theft and what you do get paid for does not cover the cost of producing it. Now tell, would you plant electricity next season? I very much doubt it unless you're into the charity business or you're stupid, of course, but somehow, I just can't imagine you'd be either.

So, what's the solution you might wonder. Increase the price of electricity of course. But come on people, increase the price of electricity so electricity planters can earn more money and plant more and sell more? Surely you must be cursing me by now, or haven't you noticed you'd have to pay more for my electric if you want it?

Ok, perhaps you're all nice civilised folks and don't want to curse me so let's try a different way of looking at this. Imagine Buhari removes the price control so I can sell my electricity at a market determined price like I currently sell my tomatoes no doubt at a profit high enough for me to want to plant more next year. Are you cursing me yet? I'm sure you would be if it was the subsidy on petrol I were talking about removing. Hell no! You'd likely stone me if you could get your hands on me!

Well, that's what this piece is saying where it says "The private sector is given little incentive to invest.” After all, I'm in the electric planting business for the money and the profit and not because I love you all as Adam Smith would say, so why give you light if you aren't paying me for the priviledge! And you wanna complain you're in darkness?!

When you pay me enough to cover my planting of tomatoes after paying for the land and the fertilizer and the labour and the interest on a loan and cover what I lose to theft and illegal harvesting, and still make a tidy profit to reinvest, I will plant 12000megawatts of tomatoes and I will sell 12000megawatts of tomatoes and even more megawatts of tomatoes than you can eat even because you would be incentivizing me to invest what you pay me in more land and more fertiliser and more labour to plant more tomatoes so I will have more tomatoes to sell you and make more money. But if you want cheap electric, keep your price controls and don't incentivize me but don't expect me to waste my time labouring in the sun just so you can have light because, like you, I ain't that stupid nor into the charity business!

Anyone cursing me yet, because I am telling you, we are too cheap!

Believe this story at your own risk. No wonder fake news is rampant online; people get too emotional to reason logically.

Well, according to the scriptures Yahushua knew exactly what was going to happen, from the betrayal of Judas, the disowning of him 3 times before the rooster crowed by peter, and his death. So yes, Yah had told him of the events to come, according to the scriptures.

Now, I don't know if these events were Yah's plans or was he only showing Yahushua the events that were to occur.

You have not been paying attention.Just yesterday they made a ruling that will hamper California's fight against covid look it up and see the new rule those 5 Conservatives brought as a defence which the dissenting justices including the CJ cited the dissents made more sense.
The courts need reform although I doubt the conservative justices will not be dumb to rule against matters that are popular to the American people like LGBT,Abortion etc that one will force Biden's hands to expand the court and they won't want that but the courts should be looked into

We didn't have to murder him for God's will to prevail, but when we did, it didn't stop God's will. That's the gist.

AmazonTopaz:
You ain't lying.

74 million votes is deceiving them for now so they think going the Trump route/MAGA is the way to go 2020 taught them nothing it will only get worse as they are losing the suburbs and young generation Americans. They got huge Hispanic support because of the coronavirus crisis and the fact that Dems campaigned virtually and didn't reach out like the GQP did the socialist lie also hurt Dems among Latinos but that will change soon.
Dems won a local City election in Miami this past week though they won another education election in Wisconsin and the GA senate.To be honest if Dems keep doing well the history of the party in power losing in the midterms will not work in 2022.I love how Dems now focus on local elections that is one good thing that was how the GQP power grab started when they were winning local elections and rose to the top Trump in office taught them and their voters that there is power in their votes.
There is a poll of 9% gap of Americans who support dem policies over GQP and that young Americans support Dems more and lean left.

The GQP in America is running out of conservative ideas and sticking to Trump and losing the suburbs won't help them

Only people who lack reading comprehension skills will answer a question with another question.

GeneralDae:
Hmm not thesame analogy. The arguement is that those pharisees or Jewish leaders intended only evil ( which was against the will of God) but God had the last laugh in the end. We now have disciples teaching in the name of Jesus and stuff like that.

I don't know what glory the deeds of Bokoharam and fulani herdsmen can bring in the end and I don't think there is any.

So we can't really compare both scenarios.

GeneralDae:
God can turn something meant for evil into good. That's the interpretation of the death of Jesus in the new testament as a whole.

I doubt if TurtleNeck MoscowMitch will finish his term according to the rumor going on in KY. He's not used to being a back bencher and that's what he's now because the Senate agenda don't have to go through him and his band of Right Wing Nuts.

Dtruthspeaker:
Or did God send His Son to Convicts, for them to have a last chance of Pardon but as is consistent with Criminals, they Murdered Him, even though God Used their Murder in Accordance to the Sin Offering Law?
