Nonsense man.

Dumbo.

If not infrastructure, then SECURITY.

SECURITY is key. For if the people that you built infrastructures for are all dead, then who will be alive to use your infrastructure?

Another thing is good standard of living so that the people the infrastructure is meant for will be able to afford it and utilise it as is meant to be.

Otherwise, they will all leave your "infrastructure" for you and your vultures to use.

Sad.

Meanwhile, Seun Osewa got a savage twitter response.

OMG!

What a sad way to die

He did not leave enough gap between the main and tail rotor.

The main and tail rotors weren't quite close to each other. It was the tail rotor that went rogue, flying out of its axle towards the main rotor while the latter nicked a part of it. It was that nicked part that went towards the pilot, slashing his neck.

And to all of you blaming the guy for his lack of education as the cause, I'd say you misjudged. First, education can be formal and informal. That education is formal does not mean it automatically trumps informal education. A lot of people who were not within the four walls of the classroom has been made professors in foreign universities. As long as you can demonstrate adequate and exceeding capacity in what you do, which is you can possibly possess above those who went to class, you will be given recognition.

This is why foreign countries have been able to develop - placing more premium on capacity that certificate.

The Wright brothers didn't go to school to invent the airplane. The human mind is an endless pit of imagination and possibilities. You only need to be among those able to explore that depth and you find yourself coming out with solutions to human problems in science and technology.

The few that education can do is to help you fine tune that capacity. Hence, education will help you realize that you need protective gears when doing something like this. And will help you realize that you will probably need a parachute or at least some form of harness in case it fails mid-air. Education will let a painter know he needs a breathing mask to avoid inhaling harmful gases. But if this guy were to go far, he will end up employing "the educated" that went thru the four walls of the classroom to make these decisions for him while he as the boss decides what to pay 'em for their services.

spartacus11:
thanks for your submission, my plan is to get 24v Lifepo4, and the said inverter , but i need inverter that is budget friendly but durable, since i will be spending more on battery.

I'm not sure if Saint2ace means their Modified Wave Inverter Series with that charging issue. But what I know is that the 12v850va of that particular inverter that someone I know uses with 120ah LFP charges quite well and in very short time fills up the battery. 20 amps charger for a 120ah LFP is a fair combination.

Where I think I will perhaps agree with saint2ace' charger complaint is the fact that if your NEPA voltage or generator voltage is low or outputting some funny frequencies and you have the inverter in online mode with appliance plugged in, the inverter will bypass, prioritizing powering the plugged in appliances over charging the batteries, so you effectively end up with an uncharged or suboptimal charged batteries after a few hours on low mains voltage. But that problem does not occur with full 230v from the mains,

I used that particular inverter with a lead acid 12v100amp battery a few years ago and that is my experience with it.

You can't.

Barter by Flutterwave provides a virtual dollar card for international transactions.

Oh, okay. So I can only use it for purchases? How easy is refunds in case transaction with sellers go bad and disputes have to be filed for refunds?

Gr8teejay:
has anybody received any package that says arrival at destination but Nipost still says EDI received that has an RB tracking number?

See my attached screenshot. It is "RB". 79 freaking days in transit.

Item has "arrived destination" (Nigeria) since June. But up till now, I have not received a call from Post office. About 4 days ago, I called one post woman there and sent her the tracking numbers (there is actually a second item too) for them to know that my item has arrived but they have been lackadaisical in delivering them to me.

aieromon:
Barter by Flutterwave is ₦516. I feel it is a better alternative when compared to the stress of buying USD and funding a dollar card.

Please how do I use flutterwave to fund a dollar domiciliary account?

ItsTutsi:
How can I make speedaf as my default/permanent logistic carrier?

I think that decision is left to the shipper or AliExpress team. AliExpress exclusively handled items may be shipped by a particular verified-as-reliable shipper. And "Speedaf" may soon be in line as a favourite option for AliExpress handled items, so tagged "AliExpress Standard Shipping" if they keep up their efficiency.

However for other sellers, among other reasons that affect their choice of shipper are price, proximity of their location to the shipper etc.

But more and more sellers may begin to opt for Speedaf. This is why I think so. A particular item I bought took 71 days to get to Nigeria on Singapore Post. I took delivery of the item 4 days ago. I was impressed by the performance that I decided to purchase another from exactly the same seller. I was willing to ignore the long shipping days in other to get that good item. I placed the another order 3 days ago. By yesterday, I was notified of shipping. But guess what? This time it is no longer on Singapore Post like the first time, but now on "Speedaf". This is still the same seller/shop changing his choice of a shipper within weeks.

Mind you, for the first item, I got billed 200 naira by NIPOST to collect it. I'm sure speedaf will deliver this second but same item from the same seller for free. But I will still keep my fingers crossed.

So except you categorically pay for express shipping like DHL, UPS etc, I think there is little you can do to influence the seller's choice of shipper.

Monogamy:
K-leg story

Not surprised by your comment.

Terrorists and dictators are the same everywhere irrespective of clime and tongue. They have only one religion of worship - oppression, wickednessbl and tyranny.

You, Buhari and Paul Biya all belong to one religion.

NaijirianKing:
This entire outfit and scheme needs to be disbanded. It was created to witch-hunt Northerners, and nothing more. Now we are starting to see their true colors showing through.

Disband this group, we already have Police protecting and serving citizens.

Okay. Do you also agree that the Northern Hisbah should be disbanded because as it is they are trampling on human rights?

https://www.nairaland.com/6699281/buk-student-hisbah-arrested-us

Naira landers await your response. I want to know if you also represent the hypocrisy of the North.

Idris, how markit?

I hope you had a swell time with your brothers dem. Make una deliver their regards to Buhari their patron and general daddy o.

By the way, you fit whisper am to me how much you pay for ransom? You can trust me, I will not shout.

“Allah has promised to test us… Those guys who kidnapped me, I have forgiven them. I don’t want anybody to curse them or say anything bad against them.”

“They were crying when I left them. They said they regret kidnapping me. That they were contracted to kidnap me. They (kidnappers) were from Zamfara and the person who contracted them told them that the Governor gives me over 200 million naira monthly.

“They said the person told them that if I gave them less than N200 million, they shouldn’t release me.”

Obviously this guy has not learnt his lesson. Forgiving who? This shows the sympathy most of these Northerners have towards their oppressors. So do you feel the parents of the students still in captivity or even the students themselves should also think of forgiving the abductors if and whenever they are set free?

Commissioner for information wey no fit speak informative sense. Ńa so so informative nonsense dem they speak.

KingDash:
na buhari dey do license plate?!

Are you, are you, are you normal?!!!! (In Mr. Macaroni's voice)

Instead of mere speculation which is tantamount to gross irresponsibility, what the state should do in order to verify its suspicions and as well convince the citizen of the allegations is to catch/arrest some people in the act. They should be interrogated and facts established as suspected or not.

She is a hero.

And she has stamped her name on history as a fighter for the masses against a Fulani dictator.

I notice that the Indian police usually takes pictures with the arrested suspects. The pictures are also usually dignifying enough. I think perhaps it may be a proof of the capacities of the officers concerned and its importance as evidence for future assessment and recommendations for promotions.

If na Nigerian police, the suspects will be seated on the bare floor (in the sand) , their shirts and shoes pulled off for the males and the hair dishevelled for the females. Oh, and with massive chains or handcuffs too.

That is if they've not have their faces puckered first.

But that policewoman sha; she is somehow. And the males with that their turbaned beret.

And now this...

True. I hope the money-centric, anti-people government will not open eye to tax God's free gift to humans.

Ajanidokun:
Hello house,
Please recommend a 12v hybrid or standalone inverter I can use with a lithium battery.

BTS 12v/950watts PSW is a good inverter. Has selectable in-built stabiliser function, in built 20A charger and selectable DoD (50% or 70%).

I think it currently goes for around 75k on Konga or Jumia.

Edited: Price seems to be down to 70k. But I also noticed that they increased the shipping price which used to hover around 1k5 for fairly weighty items. Now it's 4,870 naira. Of course na like that our AliExpress brothers also stylishly keep their prices constant even during their so called "price slashes".

You can also ckech it on Konga.

And they've wasted a large chunk of this girl's years. During those time she was in captivity forcibly betrothed and used as s3x object, about three of her peers who were lucky enough to jump from the truck used in ferrying them as hostages have graduated in prestigious US universities with good grades and a out to get good jobs.

Sorry little girl. Your country was not fair to you. The only crime you committed was being born into a country administered by devilish politicians.

There is this new trend in logistics that I noticed. There is this shipper that calls itself speedaf.

First, their delivery is fast, I mean like 2 weeks delivery.

Second, they bring the items directly to your doorstep except if you have a prior arrangement with them to pick it up at their office.

Third, they have never demanded any payment from me for the three packages that they've delivered so far, and at least two of the packages are as big as what post office will charge 500 naira to 700 naira for.

Fourth is that they also call you to notify you of the arrival.

Fifth, their tracking number wcich begins with "NG" and ends with any other letter is not trackable in any of the popular sites like track24 and 17track. What I get when I enter in the details is "tracking number is error".

Who is this new kid on the block that threatens to push NIPOST and their unseriousness into oblivion?

ItsTutsi:
Bro, u seem to know a lot.. I have some issues I want u to help me clarify

1. Why do products from aliexpress come under different local companies in nigeria when shipped and how will I know which company to go to/will fall under in nigeria when ordering from aliexpress

I ordered for a product that came since the 3rd of this month, but I'm yet to get a call or text.. when I called a person that works for speedaff, he told me it's nipost

Sellers co-opt shippers that are deemed reliable. Of recent, speedaf in Nigeria (a Chinese owned company) is becoming the hot cake amongst sellers and shippers alike.

ItsTutsi:
A product I ordered through "aliexpress standard shipping" came under speedaff, while a product I ordered again through "aliexpress standard shipping", when I called speedaff, they told me it's nipost..I'm confused, how will I know where they will come under?

You will be able to tell from the tracking number. So a shipper can be Cainiao or AliExpress Standard Shipping but the tracking number may bear that of Speedaf.

The tracking number of Speedaf starts with "NG" and is untrackable on the regular tracking websites. It can only be tracked on their website.

ElRazur:
Thank you for inputs. I understand that things are expensive etc but I am also dedicated to the cause.

Will get the ACs first and then the battery at last.

I am still not clear as to whether 5kva is fine or not. I currently use a 5.5kva gen to power similar set up and I assuming solar configuration shouldn't be too far apart in terms of comparison.

I think you can get the batteries first as long as it is lithium. They can stay in storage for 8 to 10 months without losing much charge. It will be good you get it now because that is about the heart of your system onto which every other thing latches. If you wanna go DIY, ordering it now before further naira plunge will ensure you save money and also save time as it will arrive before year end.

Your inverter AC and indeed other electrical appliances are about the easiest and least stressful to acquire. Electronic shops including Fouani will always have stocks and newer, more efficient models are always reeled out as R& D into these appliances progress. You can buy one appliance today and in a month's time, a newer more power efficient model which tickles your fancy is produced.

The major upgrade you may require in your battery pack is the BMS whereas an upgrade to your electrical appliance means selling it off to acquire a newer one.

After your battery, get your inverter and since you mention that you have a generator, you can use that to charge your set up while you plan to acquire solar panels. Even your solar panels can be procured in phases of 3 or 6 panels or multiples of it (if you're using 48v system) at a time depending on how deep your pocket is.

Thieves. Do good while in office. Create infrastructures and strong institutions. Be seen to be on the side of the people and not greedy while you had power.

Then you can be sure that you won't need protection when you leave the position because the people will become your power and protect you. The infrastructures and strong institutions you built will in turn become your shield and support.

Chadian government should hold Buhari responsible for this.

He has shown subtle support for the insurgents by his silence and selective injustice.

Hushpuppi also admitted he once sold pure water at Ketu.

All these people trying to be motivational speakers and Instagram influences. Na everybody go sha get one humble story or another.

Some go even say dem start their thriving poultry business with Just two chicken feathers/quills and a beak.

See that one pressing phone. Right from the onset you can see that they will enjoy VIP treatment. If it is ordinary peaceful protesters, all gadgets on them will already be confiscated to be used as personal property of the prosecuting officer, their clothes already removed and their faces will already be puckered from severe beating and torture.

The way the government is on propaganda of terrorist families surrendering, you will think they make sense. So the wives are the ones bearing arms, shey?

Jumping all over the media shouting that the wives are surrendering as if the Boko Haram members fulani bandits themselves won't get a ready replacement amongst their kidnap victims in schools and villages.

Okay, Jonathan packaged and handed to him a broken economy

Buhari managed to finally kill it, put it in a coffin, drive in the last nail and buried it, kpam!

Nigeria on autopilot.

This is the usual procreation activity amongst lower animals and some insects. Some female snakes kill their mates soon after copulation is completed. Likewise some species of spider like the black widow kill the male that mates with it and turn it to food for the eggs she will soon hatch.

So why would a full higher animal like a homo sapien act in the same manner?

And perhaps the boyfriend is a yahoo plus guy and she realized that the dude has used every good part of her for his money. So in order to get back at him and have some part of the possessions culled from her destiny, she decided to take the guy out.

Just assuming though.

This looks like a sensational headline aimed as a click ait. These people have been arrested long before Anna Kyari was declared wanted by the FBI. So if he will be extradited, it will be based more on the FBI making renewed efforts at that rather than the arrest of these three accomplices which were named alongside Abba Kyari but which were arrested much earlier.

---

You see, all these Abba Kyari brouhaha came as a rude shock to the ruling hegemony. They wouldn't in their wildest dreams have thought that any reason as compelling as this accusation will ever upset their plans.

The tradition is to have a kin in the top position and someone from other parts of the country as second in command, in this case Disu. So the plan would have been that Kyari will still be around for a very long time during which another replacement for Disu will come in form of forced retirement due to his contemporary being named the IGP.

If they ever envisaged this sudden disruption happening, they would have made another fulani extract the second in command to Kyari so that soon as the latter is out of the picture, another fulani expectedly steps in.

Now hesitantly, they needed to name Disu as the new IRT commander. This does not however mean that he can't still be tactically edged out in the nearest future over flimsy or non-existent reasons though. At least they did it with Kemi Adesosun and that FIRS guy, so who says they can't do it with Disu?

Monogamy:
AGF has said they have not received any notification about Kyari's extradition.

What's the interest of Nigeria media gan gan about Kyari's indictment

Is it only Kyari that was indicted in whole 69 pages of evidence released by FBI so far
Are there no other people or group of people who might have done a bigger deal with Hush that would be person of interest to FBI..

It is so obvious that you are seriously in discomfort that your guy is in the eye of the storm. But he can't do bad and you expect the media not to report it, no. If it works like that in Aṣọ rock and with you trying to muzzle twitter and other SM networks, it sure will not work with independent reporters.

Monogamy:
How can Kyari be aware of the said transaction amount of $500k and still receive mere $20k which was even sent in batches according to the report so far?

So 20 thousand dollars (10 million naira) is "mere" to you in the concept of bribery and illicit acquisition? What about the many allegations of abuse of human right, extortion and extrajudicial murders that have been levelled against Kyari since from two years ago? You so much cherish being the devil's advocate, don't you?

Monogamy:
Why are the Nigeria media hell bent in recycling old thrash? They should let us know their intentions before misleading people

You delude yourself.

You think you can gag the press when it comes to protecting your own evil like you also tried to do with the accusation of the press "glamourising terrorist activity with their reporting" while you are comfortable with the back to back press stories about Sunday Igboho and Nnamdi Kanu?

What did France do to the man who landed a hot disorienting slap on their President Macron again?

Oh yeah, he is walking around freely at the moment after the incident that happened about 2 months ago.

Friends, I welcome you officially to the pariah state of Nigeria, a Fulani dictatorial and tyranical government.

raker300:
I hope those that voted in buhari are happy nw?

I voted him in his first term expecting him to be tough on corruption and insecurity that Jonathan has been lukewarm about. I withdrew my support within his first year in office. So I campaigned vigorously and voted against him in the second term. But of course, I guess I have just one vote.

SmartPolician:
I don't understand why everyone is attacking Buhari for something the DSS did. That secret police has a chief and everyone should be calling him out.

We know that Buhari is terribly incompetent, but we cannot continue to blame him for the inadequacies and overzealousness of people who he appointed to run critical institutions of the state.

These people need to understand that they owe the country a duty to serve her, not the clueless Aso Rock herder.

When the DSS acted beyond its mandate during the months Osinbajo was acting president, he took the right action to create a deterrent. However Buhari came back and reversed a decent decision by Osinbajo, a decision that aimed to entrench rule of law and empower the people.

This is to show you that Buhari deliberately looks away and his silence means support. Therefore he is to be solely blamed for the rot he benefits from, not anyone else.

Well, even though I belive that Covid just like HIV is real, I however have my reservations about the way news is being peddled about it.

Incidences cannot be established by illnesses presumed to be due to Covid, but only by testing. Therefore all those times that daily drops in incidences were being recorded in Nigeria, in line with what was also happening globally, was because less and less testing were being carried out. It is not because cases were truly dropping.

Now that increasing cases are been declared by the Western countries, again by mumuric default, Nigeria and indeed other African nations will also want to join the band wagon of declaring increasingly daily cases. The two ways this can be achieved is either by truly increasing the testing rate or by declaring false incidences in cases where people are not coming forward for testing.

Nigeria and Africa at large can not boast of social infrastructure or health facility at par with Western nations but they did not and currently are not recording as much deaths due to covid as these advanced nations have recorded. This is not to say that covid-related deaths are absolutely absent in Nigeria since we are poor with data, but the incidences are arguably much lower than anticipated for a country with poor living condition.

So is this hype about a first, second, third and even fourth wave a fear factor to coarse the populace, more importantly that the script playing out now has been revealed since March 2020? The script of different waves and the imposition of mandatory vaccine to culminate in health cards (similar to yellow cards of yellow fever vaccine) without which international travel and business will be impossible has been written in the playbook, according to some conspiracy theorists.

By the way, as a health professional these are nonetheless personal views rather than professional views.

It appears the maker of the video just packaged three Maggi seasoning cubes and made the video just to trend on the Internet. Is it that artificial seasoning of other brands are not available outside the country that it is Maggi that someone will be hungry for enough to ask some to be sent over to him /her?

Besides using Maggi cube (a paper packaged food item) to smuggle drugs is abkut one of the most imbecilic strategy. I mean, carrying Maggi itself across immigration is a red flag on its own. No officer will allow such "item of interest" pass thru without conducting thorough examination.

And it's even most likely you will not be allowed to take an ordinary Maggi seasoning materials on board. Like they do to soft drinks, you may be asked to drop it at the check in.

WesternOligarch:
nope.....check the south west and kebbi state.

Igbo chics are only there because religion won't allow the fulani shuwa chics to compete......and despite the one sided picking of Igbo girls...top three aren't even igbo. Am certain a yoruba chic will win this and also bring us the global crown.

There is a trend. It reflects the dispensation to nationality of the three major ethnic groups.

The North are overtly religious, sometimes bordering on hypocrisy. Their overbearing shariah laws in the midst of all shades of undesirables commited in secrecy is one reason they can't field a candidate even though they have beautiful and tall damsels that can compete favourably. Assuming the had native candidates you can be sure that nepotism would have been the order of the day in the selection process but for religious encumbrances.

The Igbos are widely dispersed across every nooks and crannies of the country, being cosmopolitans to some extent. Hence they are easily pitched into any competitions even without being indigenes of those states. However, it is not surprising that non-indigenes have no shot at the finals in all of the South Eastern States even though they have been given equal opportunities in other states where they aren't indigenes. They also without doubt have beautiful girls, not exceeding what obtains in other regions but definitely not hard to come by.

I type this without prejudice or bad blood, but the fact that South East and core Igbo states are not known to be accommodating to others, not giving chance to non-indigenes (even amongst themselves) in any social or non-social event is vividly portrayed in that line up.

The preponderance of non-indigenes in the south west lineup is just a reflection of the multi-ethnic, polytheistic and accommodating policies of the people there. I'm sure there will be Yorùbá runners up, but the people there will put merit over nepotism or kinship in making selections. So far as you are able to contribute positively and merit consideration, you will be given a shot irrespective of your tribe, tongue or creed.

Nonetheless, as the list apparently showcases more of "Most beautiful Southern Nigerian Girls", than Most beautiful Nigerian Girl, I hope every region of the south will work towards strengthening their points of weaknesses (as outlined above) and since no one can claim to be perfect or claim to have it all, a reliance on one another, doing away with nepotism, unmerited grandiosity, intolerance to non-indigenes and a host of other undesirable social vices as it characterises each region downsouth, will go a long way to forging a formidable relationship and unbeatable union if the country Nigeria eventually happen to break into Northern Nigeria and Southern Nigeria.

But I don't know, this Oyo chick sha.
