Option504:

PDP is like a disordered house. Everything just dey anyhow.

First to comment for the first time since joining Nairaland.
Seun make I drop my aza?

They will still get more votes and win more states than Obi

fuckJones:
Today make it exactly 7years a woman sharing food in a wedding occasion in Ibadan removed me from line with the allegations that I have eaten before, I will never forget this

this is so funny! ......but had you eaten before?

Ohaneze should tackle OBi for investing IBO state funds into a business owned by the Obi family and of which Obi’s wife was a sitting director.

God1000:
God have mercy, this has never happened before in the city of Ibadan

This is what happens when a certain group of people move in. If you know Ibadan and Bodija, you will know the kind of people that have been settling in.

Anywhere they go they bring illegality with them.

New Jersey is a state in the US. Jersey is a territory of the UK. Different!!

BurntDodo:
Elated that there are still minds like yours that ask the important questions and know the real answers.

It's a capitalist move. Like you said "follow the money". They have found a new market to get their raw materials for cheap for EVs and people might not be buying EVs now but give it time, let the political part sink in. Some cities have stated that they will ban the use of fossil fuel passenger vehicles.

They will try and they may succeed to a large extent but they won’t eliminate fossil fuels. To start with it’s one thing to shift to electric vehicles, it’s another to shift the source of energy to power the EVs. It’s another to get electric ships, planes etc. Petrol is not the only byproduct of fossil fuels. Plastics, Fertilizer and many other petrochemicals down to things like artificial fibers for clothes, mattresses, Vaseline, candles ( the list is endless) are all things the world cannot do without and are by-products of crude or natural gas.

InteliJ:
Yeah.

I appreciate you sir for keeping the conversation polite. You know nairaland lol I was thinking you'll start cussing me out or something.

Have a good day!

I only cuss idi..ots lol

Good luck

InteliJ:
I've read about all you've said. Fossil fuel will be used forever but I think the demand will decrease a lot.

Good points you've got to be honest

But you know this world is politics sometimes. You've to respect it because if you underate "politics" you might be in for a rude awakening.

Let's just be watching sha. I'm not sure about the future that's why I said time revealeth all things.

Very true!

InteliJ:
Not gonna lie, I thought of this too. Nice observation.

But, what would you choose sir?

A leader in an emerging multibillion dollar field. Or, a random professional in an established but soon to become a niche field.

Life is all about boom and bust.

Know when to enter and when to leave.

Fossil fuels will still be in demand in your lifetime. Google what is happening with EVs in the US….people are not buying. Hertz just put up 20,000 of the EVs for sale because people are not renting them. Look at what is happening in the UK regarding their previous targets.

Understand that the whole green movement just like Covid vaccines is more politics than science. The science does not back up the rhetoric and like most things the truth will eventually out.

Global warming is real but co2 is not the cause of global warming. Co2 is a consequence of Glo l Al warming and global warming g is a natural phenomenon as part of a global cycle that has existed for centuries but if as a scientist you say otherwise all your research funding will be stopped so they all tow the line. It is the same thing they did with Covid, now we are finding out the vaccine is causing heart and other problems and ivermectin actually works. Lithium actually causes more environmental damage than fossil fuels but they won’t tell you that.”

In this life you have to read, research and think for yourself. The same Oyinbo man that told you margarine is good did so to promote their companies, margarine is one of the most unhealthy fats you can consume. The same Oyinbo man that told you palm oil was bad for you did so because they don’t produce palm oil. But guess what? The soya oil they promote is because they can produce soya but soya is bad for men. It damages the male hormones.

The white mania not your friend, always question the motives of the white man. As a mentor once said to me when I got out of university, if you want to u derstand what is going on with the west, follow the money, ask who is making money from this.

The white man has a burning desire to reduce their dependence on energy from u stable or hostile countries. Their reserves of fossil fuels are dwindling. If you understand that you will understand the real reason they are pushing the green agenda.

RepoMan007:
in ignorance or carelessness, you reinforced my point. That amount is too small to achieve any real verification that involves interacting with the so called beneficiaries.

It really isn’t. You are within a LG, the so called beneficiaries and addresses are known. How much are you goi g to spend in transport within a LG (which is the main expense) that will gulp N3.7m? The people doing the verification will almost certainly be moving around on Okadas. How much will it cost to charter a few okadas for a few verification staff for say 2 weeks?

I don’t know how much okadas costs but let us assume it costs 10,000 a day, you have 14 verification staff per local govt and n2000 allowance a day for 2 weeks that’s 12000 x 14 x 14 days is about N2.3m.

If you prefer to view it by ward, there are about 3,800 wards in Nigeria. It should cost less than N1m to verify beneficiaries in each ward. Which is approx N3b.

Dbegining:
Mr. It's not a huge amount, abeg give me 1million for there.

If you started to engage your brain you won’t need to beg for 1m.

RepoMan007:
I wonder how many LGA they (could have) covered for such phantom verification.

If you actually did some calculations before you comment, you would realize it works out to about N3.875m per local government. It’s not a huge amount for a verification exercise.

InteliJ:
I think oil companies are now moving to sustainable energy

That's the new oil

Is petroleum engineering a viable course to study in big 2024? I don't think so.

But since time revealeth all things, we shall know 5 - 10 years from now.

If you thought it through, you would realize that many others would shy away from petroleum engineering for the same reason you outline resulting in a scarcity of petroleum engineers in the future.

If you also thought it through you would also realize that there will always be a place for fossil fuels and the future of green energy is not assured.

Therefore a betting man would bet on a career in petroleum engineering because demand will outstrip supply.

TheBillyonaire:
Where ever you japa to, Nigeria will meet you there. No escaping from your genes.

Many won’t come back and that is good for Nigeria. Japa is now an official strategic economic policy of government and rightly so as diaspora remittance is Nigerias largest source of forex. Read Bosun Tijanis tech blueprint. The plan is to train skilled IT workers for the local economy and for export (Japa).

We are now an exporter of manpower.

Richtaiwo:
Okay. But your govt that doesn't allow the looting, what is the consequence on Nigerian? Is that not a cure worse than the disease?

If not for subsidy, you would have been better educated!

Isobug:
Good news.... At least Let's see if things could change from this evil of a party called APC. Very inept, creating difficulties here and there, almost in every aspect of life. I never see.

Not sure of the news though, Kwankwaso, almost debunk this 2 days ago.

They will still fail. PDP will still remain. Which means they will lose some votes. Then the issue of who becomes president will destroy them again like it did when they were in PDP.

I hope this is not the same people that were predicting Obi landslide?

I remember in the 80s when many Indian, Russian, polish lecturers came to Nigeria seeking better pastures. That was when I knew Russians were poor, there was a female Russian lecturer that arrived with torn clothes.

Chinjo2:
If EFCC under Tinubu can secure the conviction of just 20 politicians then I will start supporting him.
The politicians that have milked this county dry are walking freely and getting top appointment in APC government while EFCC are running after ordinary Yahoo boys.

Are Yahoo boys responsible for lack of electricity, job, roads and quality health care in Nigeria?

He won without your support and will win again without it, do not overestimate your importance. The train is moving on with or without you. , if you like support, if you like continue to wail. The real world does not give a sheet!

blueAgent:
Keep fooling yourself.
Few searches on Google, would show you countless examples of low productivity in companies practicing diversity and affirmative action.
Is Boeing the only company cutting costs?, typical APC supporter sentiments and feelings over facts

You made a claim. Explain the connection between diversity and the recent woes of Boeing…simple! This is how your oga claimed he won election but did not present a single evidence in court. Like I say you have to be really intellectually deficient to support Obi.

I repeat: Explain the connection between diversity and the recent woes of Boeing…simple!

EconomistXplain:
balance of trade has bever been the issue.

issue is with balance of payment

Go and collect a refund from your economics teachers.

blueAgent:
When I read and knew about Boeing twitter was not existing then.
You can deny it, as much as you want, it's still obvious to any honest person that diversity and affirmative action both in private and public sector is leading to low productivity in US.

And you must be ApC supporters, they lack honesty, integrity and facts.

Keep exposing yourself. I told you it is about cost cutting and gave detailed explanation how cost cutting and profit culture destroyed Boeing. All you have done here is repeat diversity diversity without any attempt to give any insightful explanation how diversity has led to the problems of Boeing.

You can’t because you don’t know. You don’t t know because you simply copied and pasted a comment by someone on the internet.

Again I knew you are an Obidient. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to identify brainless people.

Clearly Atiku did not realize why he lost in 2019 when his party was United and has failed to realize why he lost in 2023. The presidency thing is not his destiny.

yinkus6750:
Atiku himself is the one that keeps empowering APC.
Instead of him to be a kingmaker as Tinubu did to Buhari and bided his time to Emilokan entitlement, he keeps forcing himself on the party,,thereby creating division instead of unifying the party.
Continue wailing.

It is too late for all this crying after split milk analysis. The opposition has sealed their fate because they (former PDP men Obi, Kwakwanso and Atiku) could not unite.

As it stands 2027 is for a southerner and the only southerner that can win in 2027 is Tinubu. If they like let them all unite behind Obi in 2027 he can’t win because the North will not vote for him.

YesGodcan:
Mikel Obi is annoying for God's sake

The level hate has for anything Nigeria is beyond description.

At least I am Not the only one who has noticed this Mikel has an inferiority complex.

Jackiedemie:
I think Mikel is talking too much these days. Anywhere, it's their matter not ours

Trying to please his white masters.

frankblinkz:
Dude spoke his mind


It's what it is.
Mikel remains a legend in the history of football as an African.

Mikel is a nitwit! ….an Uncle Tom!

blueAgent:
You are a learner.

Diversity and affirmative action is destroying US economy and productivity.


If you don't know ,know it now.

You are a copy cat. We k ow the western world has a problem with wokism, etc etc. but that is not the problem with Boeing. Stop copying peoples comments on Twitter in order to sound knowledgeable about matters you know nothing about.

The problem with Boeing is as follows:


Boeing was a company that had a culture focused on engineering excellence.

McDonnell douglass was a company that had a culture of focusing on profits.

Eventually McDonnell Douglas went bust because they focussed so much on profits they had a plane with a fault (a cargo door lock would open in mid air and cause an explosive decompression) that they knew about but refused to fix. Google “DC10”

Many planes crashed and it damaged their reputation eventually they were taken over by Boeing. I believe it is the same plane that is now known as the

Unfortunately for Boeing, the management of McDonnell douglass were absorbed into Boeing with their cost cutting culture. Those MD executives are the ones now running Boeing with their culture of cost cutting.

This resulted in subcontracting almost everything that can be subcontracted. The fuselage of the 737 for instance is subcontracted to spirit aviation. Spirit aviation was a spin-off from Boeing to increase profitability.

The basic problem with Boeing is they have subcontracted so many processes that were previously in-house and in a bid to meet profitability targets the subcontractors cut corners. In addition Boeing has inculcated the Md culture of knowing about problems and keeping quiet.

That is Boeing In a nutshell. Boeing started having quality problems after they acquired McDonnell Douglas and started focusing on profits, share price and cost cutting.

Nothing to do with wokism or diversity.

Your link just proved my point: you merely copied something you say on social media without u derstandi g what is going on. I suspect you must be an Obidient…they are the ones who do t use their brains but copy what someone else said.

blueAgent:
Who told you is copy and paste?
Do you know how old Boeing has existed?
Did they start chasing profit today?

your comment about diversity and liberal views was copied from twitter.

It is not today Boeing has been having problems with their planes because of cost cutting. Educate yourself on the problems with the 787 and the 737 NG. it is not today. Your comment "Did they start chasing profit today?" shows you have no clue about the long standing issues with Boeing stemming from cost cutting measures.

Boeing has not been the same since they acquired Mcdonnel douglas and prioritised profits and cost cutting measures!!

blueAgent:
Are young comparing US to China when it comes to standard?

Affirmative and diversity hiring is what lead to the decline of Boeing and the 737max jets.

When companies prioritize Liberal views over competence.

Stop doing copy and paste. If you read something on social media, chances are others have read it. Stop trying to pass it on as your own original thought. You end up making a foooool of yourself. Think for yourself.

The real problem with Boeing is putting profit above all else.

richiemcgold:
Chinese will offer you what you ask for. Be it standard or substandard, you'll get it from them.

But Americans will insist on their spec which is always a topnotch.

That's the difference.

That’s why their 737max planes keep having design flaws and poor workmanship?

They should not bring 737max to Nigeria o. That plane is a disaster waiting to happen!

TruthsFM:
Olanipekun the senior Advocate of Nigeria in law and election matters. He lose cases too but he’s a guru in the electoral matters

Sometimes the opponent doesn’t have a case. Just like olanipekun has lost cases where his client had no case.

Not saying he isnt a guru on election matters but sometimes it’s just as simple as that. Look at Obi for example, he never had a case to the extent that all the judges reprimanded his lawyers for being gong such a flimsy case to court. The case was so ludicrous and Olanipekun was always going to win to the extent he only called one witness.
