3 companies make all the TV screens (just like the PC processor field) the rest are generic stuffs of branding.
I can deduce is that most Nigerian buyers don't even know what they're buying specs wise, which is a good opps for the Fouanis to rip us off with overpriced outdated craps...
Buyers should demand latest operating system; ask the refresh rates; more ports of faster speeds; Speaker types, latest Wi-Fi etc
Got a system branded LG but put together from China with all the above landing for $428 few months ago.

Who swear for Nigerians?
How can the oppressed love their oppressors this much if not under influence?

Do we not have any other alternatives again out of over 200m!

Oh dear. So unnecessary!
Ruto is just allowing this to get out of his hands...all he needs is to repackage it under any other guise or name later

What will be the functions of the ministry?
Where will it be situated (all over the States)?
To what tune will it then be funded (taking into consideration these are private concerns or businesses)
How or where will funding come from (same Oil?)
After all said and done, will it solve the problem of farmers-herders clashes and cattle rustling? How?

This was mentioned during Minister Patanmi' time in office but waived off as nothing...
People saying this is nothing knows little about identity fraud.
They might NOT register a SIM card but rather clone it.
They can access everything linked (phone numbers, BVN, account details linked to it etc) from there on

May his soul rest in peace...

The public had always bought the meter in the past, yet it will not be made available after payment is the problem!

The first was the Credit Advancement Payment for Metering Implementation (CAPMI). NERC passed this regulation in 2013. A willing customer would pay the DisCo within its area for the procurement of meter. This will be repaid over time through deductions from their monthly bills. But owing to certain irregularities, NERC stopped it, re-introduced it, and then finally stopped it. In came MAPS in April 3rd, 2018 thru appointed 3rd party provider/companies. They failed at it again.
Oct. 2020, World Bank stepped in to provide $500m ($155m of it dedicated for meters) yet we still don't have. By 2023, NERC said a single-phase meter will now cost N81,975.16k, instead of the previous price of N58,661.69k. Similarly, three-phase meter was increased to N143,836.10k from N109,684.36k.

Since 2013 till now 2024 - still talking about same meters!!! are we to live all our lives not seeing Nigeria develop forever because of mindless policies?
it is a good idea to let the public buy it themselves and the lingering problem disappears.
If one can afford to build and furnish a house, buying meter yourself will not be an issue...it is cheaper than your AC or big generator na.
People are blaming govt because they are making it a big deal that it is not...

badoh:
You're not making sense. How many people can afford the prepaid meters at the current price? People have been agitating that government should distribute prepaid meters free of charge so that estimated billings could stop, now govt is planning to do it and you're still blaming govt, who do you people like this, are you okay at all?

Mods - stale News

Our local manufacturers indeed...
Tolaram is incorporated in Singapore. are the Asians are not taking back dollars to their countries/HQ too?

PARADIZEPRIEST:
THOSE SOCALLED MULTINATIONALS WHO WORSHIp DOLLAR AND DEPLICT OUR DOMESTIC DOLLAR RESERVE ARE SERIOUS DANGER TO THE NATION,THEY SHOULD ALL LEAVE ASAP AND LET OUR LOCAL MANUFACTUERES TAKE THEIR PLACE.

You make it appear like elections is the solution. Others that you mentioned are questionable too.
Can we truly jointly demand from our leaders what we want? (knowing we often want different things, atimes mutually exclusive things eg farm & herding; education & no schools; common law & shari'a etc)
The French protest, yeah - managed by a better trained police force...but here! To organize the protest sef na wa, we will then face crazed reckless Police and Military that will kill and carry away dead bodies, yet will be covered up by the Force so nobody is punished! rem endSARS?

Yes we were designed to fail...what's the fix?
What's the solution?

Telling folks to stay without suggesting solutions is unfair. They to be treated as human beings as stipulated by international immigration laws.

Princedapace:
we can jointly demand from our leaders what we want. But hey, the average black man does not like to solve any problem, he/she wants solutions to fall from the sky. Let them throw more africans into the sea.
Next elections, Nigerians would elect rubbish leaders based on tribe and religion...
We were designed and manufcatured to fail as a society. We have shown over and over again that we cant govern our selves and we cant fix our societies.

@Renegotiations, Dangote mentioned that the Mafia in Oil and Gas is bigger than that in drugs sef ...they should not expect much from it.
I pray they don't turn their fortune to a curse like Nigeria did with her own oil.

Probably a skit

Until you realize there is no standard price or quality and sellers expects you to price, so their initial offer were always in multiples of actual bargain price you'd keep getting over billed...
Butchers are great at it.

Real drinkers nor dey waste bottles like that.
The persin wey open am for drink am to settle misgivings before it even arise...

They are mostly postgraduate students...going for higher degrees after working for a while.

doggedfighter:
Are those the students up there ?

When someone like this says Nigeria has money one stops wondering why he mismanaged funds as governor. Nigeria only has potential, but it is cash strapped right now...

Let's hope they would finally remember using the waterways to reduce traffic by allowing more private players

Birthday party not Church service.
Well maybe they are the same, have seen Kwam1 in a white garment church service -what do I know,

SavageResponse:
Since when did King Sunny Ade become a gospel singer?

Haaa Nairaland with interesting reasoning!
There's too much bias being read to what was written up here to say/imply lots of what was not mentioned.
went from N580 to 1m in a few years gbam! (selling to people with only N20 trying to rebuild their lives after a war. Where was the purchasing power from if he only traded in the East?) without judging or assuming outside what's written here, it is rational to say the story is not complete still - just a balanced observation.
Again from what's up here, the guy admitted he played a fast one (he was not getting Naira for Naira, so it doesn't matter if it was zero account or not. The cash he puts in the opened accounts was money he & nobody wanted or could use again is the point) no need for arguments.
He was also opportunistic, over-billing war ravaged folks for the 1pound because of higher demand than supply.

There was a war (that always come with loses), Biafran currency was introduced - the same liquidated after the war because there simply was no where to spend or legally exchange it anymore. The nation that issued it was no more! The loss started when their Naira holdings were turned to Biafran currency. No fault of FG or Awolowo or any other person. - folks that kept Naira or even foreign accounts and were still alive resumed their accounts. (Let's be careful when instigating fights and wars. Ask/think what happens if I/we lose)

It was not a case of stealing their money as folks are twisting the history. The SW abounds with stories of people that never left (and yes, it was not generally same in the North where properties were looted and burnt. The killings that started it all was in the North rem) and those that came back to their properties, even getting accumulated rents with.

@Cars - btw N3000-4000 in 1974, lots of owners were civil servants thru car loans then. Others got the best motorcycle for 320-420 and bicycles for 18pounds. Nigeria was good and You don't have to be super rich like folks are pushing narratives here.

In all, he worked hard. He travelled out. He came back and played hard in the transport sector. Congrats on his new age.

Seeking greener pasture is not the issue, breaking laws and not staying low-key is

Antichrist:
We failed to manage our country. But we keep seeking pasture elsewhere. What a leadership disaster we found our selves.

They should use it to import food that the govt itself will SELL at subsidize rates...or allow the public import themselves duty free for 1yr.

Start mechanized farms.

And finish up the refineries

Repackage the SME loans to rekindle productivity as the Banks will forever be unserious no matter how go your idea is (they deal only on short terms and growing new businesses is a long term thing)

Please do they have Landmark & Co there for one to enjoy the waters?

An unverified figure copying a popular Twitter handle (to get views) posts an unsubstantiated story that cannot be backed by factual history and people are fighting over it as if he was the chairman of African writers to have known every writer and their minds!
Nairaland has lost logical reasoning and sane arguments...

I can bet they did the lazy thing. The practice now tries to save every tooth as there are means and tools to do that.

Fritz73:
My girlfriend had 2 if her tooth removed same period in a government hospital in ibadan, and till now I don't understand why.

The CBN is also to blame. They have orders that these reversals be resolved within 48 hours but the punishment is not strong enough deterrent.
All the Banks customer care department are useless in resolving fund reversal complaints.

A lot of customers' funds are hanging in the reversal pool, only for the department head to steal...

Taking? Maybe "luring" because technically, they are going willingly...

Cmeo:
For the same reasons they took our forefathers to their land across Europe and America for over 500 years and for the same reasons they are taking the present generation to their land across Europe and America.

Hope they won't give the UK treatment by changing rules in the middle of the game.
Also, how about their taxes that collects everything from the backend?

We can't throw money at every problem and expect it to disappear.
Even if pump N15T like we did for coastal road, agriculture has seasons and waiting time. But what will the public eat before it grows/mature!
They should have planted immediately they came in. Any action for now is late, we can only import in the immediate now.

Faiththatworks:
The Government should declare a state of Emergency and pump massive money to the Agricultural sector as soon as tomorrow.

There's a product sharing Agreement kicks in, in all oil blocks once you start production even if you own it 100%.
NNPC deserves a first right of refusal when selling and or a part of the sale value as they were part of sharing the block before....

SoNature:
What issue are NNPC and ExxonMobil trying to resolve that is taking this long? This disagreement has been on hold for years now.

Good
But before taking over, can they tell us what exactly they will be doing differently?
They are not practicing shadow politics well for the public to see them as an alternative.
They all just want to get there first and start researching what to do?

rebdisir:
If you see our per capita GDP someone shared here this morning you will know that things have gone out of hand.

I think Obi and the other opposition should form a group and go and beg asiwaju to step aside just like sonekan did. They should beg him because he won't leave like that.. including Abdusalami should follow them.

If Tinubu is left to continue another one year people might start eating their children out of hunger in Nigeria!

How much was spent?

They should just license individual operators
