You claimed I engaged in "assertion" but still couldn't back it up with facts to prove my so-called "assertion" wrong! All you did was play around with words like cat & mouse game and hoped it made sense!

Christians claim their god exists and yet unable to prove it does exist. Why on Earth would any sane human being believe in something simply because an 'ancient" book (Bible that has been rewritten many times) says so?

I'm not sure you even know that the content in the present Bible is not 100% the same with the original one. It had gone through a lot of changes made by many different authors.

There are 4200 religions in the world and their members think theirs is the best. But none of them has any demonstrable proof of their god.

I will end by giving you this YouTube link below, the Channel has a lot of good info. that will give you deep thoughts;

First off, an assertion is simply a statement. A claim. A position. A declaration. In effect, I don't understand what you mean by "engage in assertion".

Secondly, I'm not out to prove your assertion wrong. Or otherwise. I'm only concerned about your position. You keep assuming that I will posit a contrary opinion to yours, and somehow manage to miss the point that I only wanted to learn from you and your wisdom.

It seems like a cat and mouse game to you because you're living under the delusion that I've taken sides already albeit, contrary to yours.

I don't have an assertion to prove because I haven't made one yet.

I don't need to prove your assertion. That onus is upon you. I never supported nor countered your assertion however. I simply asked you to prove yours because others might opine differently.

Level up bruv.

Edoloaded:
in my life i havent met someone as senseles as you

I was going to ask you to elaborate so others who might feel cheated out of the position might understand that I fully deserve the honour but, I'm only focusing on the positives: I hope I go home with the trophy

maasoap:
Of course, you knew nothing. A company that invested a lot of money (including shareholders money because the company is listed on the NSE floor) into oil palm plantation and processing machinery would just wake up one morning and move into cassava farming and production of cassava related products?
May be you're confusing large scale cash crop farming and processing with importation of phones accessories from China. In a situation when phones accessories business is not lucrative again, you just switch to importation of rechargeable lights.

Dude, watch your blood pressure.

The gist on cassava was an analogy.

Education is clearly something to worry about in Nigeria. (Please, I'm literally begging you to not interprete this as me saying I suggested that Okomu should diversify into the educational sector)

Kettle calling the pot black

Jethrolite:
Lol, you really don't know much. You think Okomu is a small factory that can quickly switch products to suit market, that's very funny. You should look at the size of an acre of land and try wrapping your mind around the scale of a company that utilizes 82,000 acres.

Yes, I agree with you on my not knowing much. I only know about a few subjects actually but I try to know as much as I can on those subjects so when I meet folks like you I either learn or wonder why I wasted time at that meeting.

From your position, if I'd said the company should invest $100m instead of $50m, you'd interprete it to mean I'm suggesting that they put a call through to their financiers right away.

I know your type.

However, in the raw materials production sector, when planning operationally vis-à-vis strategically, it is common place to accommodate contingencies so as to account for plans that go boom and those that go bust. And to keep the bottomline well pampered and manage investor confidence.

I never so much as hinted that Okomu must quickly " switch " as you claimed. I mean, the post says that the company intends to invest $50m in production capacity at a time when revenue is dwindling. This means the expansion plans had been underway probably before even 2017.

West African (especially Ivorian) cocoa processing companies came to a similar consensus a few years ago when the cocoa prices were dropping faster than they could comprehend. It was a buyer's market so the only reasonable way out was secondary processing. It was either that or the buyers continue price dictation.

The comment really is a no-brainer.

Read my post again and correct yourself.

And what has the Lagos state government been doing with the previous charges and taxes so collected?

Living standard is in a free fall.

Roads are more congested.

Bribery in government institutions is at an all time high.

Security is non existent.

And they want to increase the hardship via tolls, land use charges et al.

Classic case of institutionalised black-on-black crime.

Okomu Oil Company should invest in secondary palm oil products.

If cassava tuber demand is reducing, you look into production of garri, packaged fufu flour, tapioca, cassava chips, cassava pellets, starch and other secondary cassava products.

Anyways, what do I know?

DedeNkem:
Ok, fine. Prove me wrong.

You made an assertion.

I observed that it could brew controversy.

You made a claim on the assertion declaring it to be truth.

I then explained that personal opinions cannot be presented as facts, let alone truths and you now want me to prove this.

The fact that you're seeking proof of the fact that we are not entitled to our own facts pretty much dissolves my involvement in this.

Just wondering what kind of circumstances will make someone want to take out the ignition key while in operation.

DedeNkem:
I didn't say that to intentionally offend anyone. I simply told the truth.

We're entitled to our own opinions.

We're not entitled to our own facts.

DedeNkem:
No imaginary god helped you. The poison wasn't strong enough to kill you.

And most Nigerians has no clue that not all food poisoning is caused by someone trying to kill you!

There's something called Allergy. Some people die for unknowingly consuming food they're allergic to. And some survive.

Example, I eat nkwobi once in while never had any issue. But one day I went to new joint with my friends and we all ate the same nkwobi. I vomited twice, constipated for three solid days and nothing happened to my friends.

I later realized the joint added something I've not eaten before and I didn't know I was allergic to.

To some people they would accuse their friends of murder attempt. In Nigerian when when someone die of sickness they start looking for who to accuse! Terrible mentality!

All the resources put in your education was worth it abeg.

I respect you bruv but, per your opening remark, you should have avoided the controversy and stayed on the point.

I need good news pls

In December, I had two separate data packages running concurrently because of the aimless autorenewal feature.

Upon calling MTN customer care, it became evident that they're aware of the difficulty that customers go through as a result but they'd rather fold their arms and smile to the bank to reap from where they did not sow.

I made it clear to them that they should not claim to be surprised when thunder from above strikes them after riding to the top on the backs of those who give out hard-earned resources to support their business.

Needless to say, I shifted from the expensive and poor data and call service of MTN to the just as expensive but excellent data and call service of Etisalat.

The gullwing reminds of the Aston Martin Db5 (Bondmobile)

Yeah right

Just tired

Mckandre:
why is it called Honda baby boy

It was featured in Tyrese's "Baby Boy" video which was released at about the same period as the car's launch.

ignis:
Am also on leave.

Anytime I see your moniker, I think of white 6-burner cookers

ignis:
What are you insinuating? Please hit the nail on the head.

Oh, so you're calling me a carpenter. I'm on leave abeg.

ignis:
We need young, prince charming, sweet and handsome men for President.

There's a difference between Mr. Nigeria and Mr. President. I mean, both are keenly contested for and both winners represent Nigeria but albeit, in different capacities.

Once upon a time, I use to dislike the Benz G-class series, probably had similar opinion like this guy. Then one day, I had the opportunity to drive the G63 for some hours, and OMG, it was just too magnificent, too sweet to drive, the feel, the handling, the power, the ruggedness, the aura of confidence, the comfort (yes it’s actually very comfortable, don’t let that box shape deceive you) etc, it blew my mind away. I was like no wonder all these very rich men have at least one G-Class in their garage. But no joke, this ride is not for the poor or middle-class, it’s for the wealthy. G65 is the best, the one that sits as King on the G-series mountain. It’s not even very common here because of the price. It’s for the very privilege few. The G63 is it’s loyal deputy, a road beast, ever-rugged, all terrain monster! When you drive a G-class, especially from 2013 model up, you’re not afraid of the road, the road is afraid of you . The G65 Bi-turbo V12 engine is not a joke, don’t even think of nearing it if you don’t have big money. The G65 is a class separator, the one that separates naira millionaire from dollar millionaire. Unless you own or drive one steady, you won’t understand, unless you’re very rich, you’ll be complaining like this guy everyday over maintenance money matter . Just like people who aren’t rich who board economy on planes see flying first class as a waste of money, but the rich guys that fly first class have a different perspective. Until you fly first class, you won’t understand what they understand. G65 is a yes-yes for me. May God give me money, I will surely buy this superlative machine!

Amen brother.

I don't even need to test drive. The mentality is all I need.

May God bless you.

$230k!

After all the scrutiny, analysis, investigation and report, my concern is that someone will still buy like 4 at once and probably not even get a deposit alert cos it's not even up to 1m.

I mean, of what use is this to me today if I still can't find myself in a position to make a decision based on the seemingly massive amount of information in the clip?

Before I goan drop this '10 accord at the service station, lemme quickly say a prayer for our businesses and ask oluwa to be involved in blessing us in all our endeavours.

I'm coming

I think it has something to do with dressing properly for juma'at.

I'm probably wrong but I just feel there's a correlation.
