Politics › Re: Headquarters Of Kaduna Electricity Disco Sealed For Failure To Pay Tax by CaptainFM1: 2:04pm On Apr 21, 2021
Neutralobserver:
To understand why they have not been able to pay tax between 2012-18, see the PWC report on financing the power sector in Nigeria, relased in 2018

Basically, power companies like Kaduna DISCO until recently were charging for power below its cost of production perkwh, and as a result they were running at a loss since their founding and could not make enough of a profit to break even, talkless of paying taxes.

See the report here...page 18 is where the main detail I refer to is.
Only few would understand this. I know for a fact that electricity is really very expensive. Same as every other energy.

Many people always think Nigeria is a very rich country, but the reality is we are a Pathetically poor nation by all standard.

Is it someone that's earning 18k a month you will ask to pay 5k monthly for electricity?

Maiduguri is the Capital of Borno State. It is located in the Sahel Savannah region of north-east Nigeria .

Maiduguri is the capital and largest city of Borno state in northeastern Nigeria.

The state is called home of peace ,yes it was one of most peaceful state in Nigeria before the Boko Haram issues started. Some people think that people don't live in the city or the city might be a ghost city due to the attacks.

We went round the city to show or take you to Maiduguri via this video so that you will know how Maiduguri look like.

●NOTE The video will be useful to people that always hear of the state in the news and what to know how the state looks like.
If Maiduguri is home of Peace, Kaduna is home of Freedom and DSS office is home of "Free Speech".

Don't Nigerian Police have tasers, pepper spray or any non deadly weapons other than batons?

Whilst his attitude is commendable, it's also very dangerous for him not to have defended himself.

Though the society is often on the side of the civilians, but sometimes as we can see police can be victims too.

This incident is enough reason for our police to wear body-camera as footage may be used as evidence in court.

Everytime people use traffic as an excuse, I find it very untenable. You must know the city you live in and plan your journey accordingly.

If you have only one opportunity to fly out of the country, or to meet up for a business contract worth billions of dollars.... Wouldn't you factor traffic into your plan?

Other excuse I hate to hear is "....It's raining heavily"

Politics › Re: PDP Backs Sanwo-Olu, Blasts Sagay Over Opposition To Lagos Rail Red Line Project by CaptainFM1: 7:38am On Apr 17, 2021
Jerryherd:
cool



Honestly it's all Ambode's fault, the $50 million USD spent on Oshodi interchange would have finished blue line

Right now Sanwo-Olu can't even start his own projects he is busy fixing Fashola and Ambode's mess with many abandoned project all over

Blame game will never end. Even if Ambode completed the Blue rail....you will still hear he could have completed the Oshodi interchange.

Governance is continuum. Ambode has closed shop. It's Sanwo-Olu's duty to continue. He's not going to finish all the work in his time as well.

So it will not be right if another person says he should have built an hyperloop, tram or state airport. As long as the continuation is there, everything will eventually be completed.

It's a public service, not their personal project.

They are not all the same. Whatever TV Box you buy should be Google Certified if you really want to enjoy it. The Meecool TV Box is Google Certified.
You must understand that there are several operating systems. What I meant by they are all the same is in the basic function - IPTV (Watching TV via the internet). They basically will all do that certified or not.

I have my reasons for recommending that one.
If by tomorrow goggle block access of some of these illegal apps, you just may be able to download apk on other systems that are not Google certified.

I have mecool as well and it skips a lot. Ever since I've been using x-88 pro, I don't have such issue.

And if you really want to go the way of "they are not all the same thing"
You should be talking of the likes Nvidia shield Pro, Xiaomi box S, Amazon Fire Stick, Roku ultra and the likes. Those are the real machines. But they are quite expensive. So I know why I recommend that cos I've tried few of these cheap boxes including mecool.

franchasng:
Ellon Musk and co are working hard to take food away from Nigerians as he continues to push out more of his powerful, energy saving, cost-effective electric powered cars while Nigerians are rejoicing about it.



The kind hardship that will hit Nigeria by 2040 when Tesla and other electric car makers, battery-powered homes, plus electric manufacturing process companies must have fine-tuned the process and brought the price down such that majority of middle class population of most European, American and Asian countries can afford it easily.......can only be imagined. By then, the Nigerian government will start taxing Nigerians for sleeping, waking up and eating......just to raise enough money for them to loot as usual when crude oil sales and price will become almost zero. By that time, every Nigerian family will have a banditry department that specializes in kidnapping people for ransom as a means of surviving the impending economic hardship, Let's wait and see shocked shocked
There is really serious concern and need to be worried about battery powered vehicles taking away people's job and cutting Nigeria's economy. However, my greatest concern is when AI is fully developed....It appears there would be no limit to what that technology can do.

Freestainworld:
2023 Is fast approaching, many politicians who think they are relevant now will end up becoming political prostitutes, jumping from one party to another, they will be reduced to nothing, but the commissioner didn't do well.
See....ehn, the only people been reduced to nothing is us the masses. These politicians will forever regroup and when they are not there, their cronies will do their biddings. The political space has been rigged against the common man so much that they will continue to recycle themselves in power.

Even with stark poverty, high unemployment, insecurity issues and all....the common man will still vote for these set of people again and again esp. when they've dangle N5000 in his face. Our problems are deep and it is of great advantage to the current political order that the larger society remain shackled.

The only solution to our problems is to make politics less lucrative. Once our politics is not lucrative, we will gradually start getting people with genuine interest to serve into governance. For now, 99% of people in politics are there for the money. It is the No.1 paying job in the country.

How can a ship carry over 20000 containers... I guess it's a lie, they are lying to us....

It can't be true... No ship can even carry 10000 containers...

I have counted those containers and they are not upto to 10k sef
Did you also count the containers in the twindeck & underdeck? Those containers you see there are only on the surface. There are more inside.

That section of the road need to be negotiated very carefully. But it's just so unfortunate our drivers don't learn and road managers don't put measures in place to prevent recurrence.

Capacity in question capacity. 65000 bpd is different from 650000bpd

However perfect it's operational systems are,there will be bcklash and you should agree with me Sir.
I have explained a bit about risk management to you. Scale or miniature.....it's all about risk management. Risk management is a full blown course on its own if you would like to take, you will appreciate better.

2 refineries that follows the ranks of Dangote are earmarked to be situated in forests.
You still don't understand this?
Every single project will have different EIA. It doesn't mean they are right or Dangote was wrong. Every single project will be separately analysed. No basis for comparison.
I've been to several developed countries and so many major industries are cited in the cities including refineries.
Business › Re: Is Lagos A Good Place To Build A Refinery Like Dangote Refinery? by CaptainFM1: 2:08am On Mar 22, 2021
They must have done the Environmental Impact Assessment / Analysis with the state government. And I'm sure there will be quite robust risk mitigation / control measures in place for all foreseeable hazards.

You are quite wrong in your general conclusion that industries are cited in the forest. Whilst it could be a very good practice in reducing the effect of a "major top-event", Risk management in the business world is all about bringing the risk to ALARP/ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Practicable /or Achievable). Both of which is a function of cost/projected revenue.

Ever wonder why airports are cited in the cities?
With all the noise pollution, with the risk of plane dropping/ditching on you while you are sleeping?
Why city? Why not in the forest? This is what risk management is all about. You go into the business despite the risk and you CONTINUOUSLY and PROACTIVELY manage the risk.

So, they look at the POTENTIAL and the FREQUENCY of the risk then put adequate controlling/safety MEASURES in place.

Potential: Can a plane drop on your roof? Answer is Yes.
Frequency: How often does a plane drop down unto people's roof? Maybe 1-in every 50,000 flights, or once in 10years.
Measures: Pilots are re-trained, technologies are improved, Planes are regularly serviced and Inspected. etc.

Is the risk brought to ALARP with all the measures in place?....hmmm. Maybe the frequency has improved to 1 in 75,000flights or 1 in 15years. So considering the money to be made have we managed the risk well.... Certainly it has improved.

In conclusion, no business is risk free. You only manage the risks. And if you think you have totally eliminated all risks...how about the "act of God, natural disasters et al..... (Earthquakes, volcano eruption, flooding, tsunamis etc)

Once they enter that Lexus and start playing Omah Lay , Bella Shmurda, Zlatan or Naira Marley’s song... forget it, they don’t see anything or anyone.

Sometimes I wonder if there is any yahoo boy with sense. Same with runs girls. Like, their code of conduct and dress sense is always the same.

The guys will wear pencil dirty jeans, graphic tee, socks and slippers, now hang one small bag across their shoulders.

The girls will wear colorful ruched dress, those slippers that have fur, fix very long nails and eyelashes. The one wey dey pain me pass na that pink attachment they use to braid their hair. Then their small handbags that can contain only phone.

Can’t they act differently for once?!! Like just lay low!!!!
The part I hate is their trousers or knickers no dey stay for their bum. They must show you their pants or boxers.

I'm deeply worried each time I see them. No future, no ambition, no hope. And they are increasing by the numbers.

Youths of nowadays don't even believe in dignity in labour. They want to live a fast rising life without working for it.

People like that and their families are not to be pitied at all.
