The underwater cables are safe, the road is not going under the atlantic. Any telecom mast standing along the right of way would have to be relocated just as Multichoice's infrastructure was relocated. These are teething challenges which cause for no alarm. Lagos-Calabar, Sokoto-Badagry, Enugu-Ogoja-Cameroon road projects have come to stay, not even Bitter Obi and his headless mob can stop them.

They're referring to masts And optic fibre cables. Not everyone clamouring for proper things to be done is bitter.

Machete that guy back
.. God Will understand this case.

What is bad in this.....if your annual Salary is 20k and your monthly take home is 1,493, multiply this by 12 months ( 1,493 X 12 = 17,916 ) so 20,000 - 17,916 = 2,084.....is £2,084 too much to pay for tax annually? Maybe the poster shud go to a country where they do not have to pay Tax at all

Nigerians no like to hear tax. But in reality, 20k per annum is in the minimum wage band... How's Life really like for minimum wage earners there?

StOla:


Have you paid your monthly bills (house rent, electricity, gas, water, TV etc), or bought monthly supplies?

Nothing good comes cheap...

olaideeeedris:
I am sure these guys are not really serious with this thing they are doing. Increments in salary will only invite inflation. For me, I think what the workers should fight for is the naira purchasing power. If my salary is 20k, I should be able to purchase good things with it. For example, with 20k salary:
Bag of rice.... #950
House rent (annually)... #230
Sch fees (private sch)... #110 (very expensive)
Car (moderate).... #6500
Buy a house... #4250 etc
Oya wake me up!!

The issue is that the 650k is not feasible. Govt is already borrowing to pay make up for the budget deficit as it stands now. Can fuel station attendants, shop sales people and drivers be paid 650k in the private sector.... How much do most private establishments make sef?

That court order was a mere academic exercise.

deji17:


Why do I have to share a country with people like this poster? Please why??

He might have been vulgar, but he's saying the truth .

seguntijan:
Dear secondary school teachers and school owners, please, help the students and the public by ensuring that students in your school write examinations by themselves and merit the grades they brandish on their SSCE results.

We are tired of seeing students with A1 in Mathematics but cannot resolve the smallest of fractions. A student with distinctions in Physics and chemistry but knows next to nothing about chemical reactions or energy conversion. Students with distinctions in Literature, Government, and CRS, yet blank on the differences between Drama and Prose Fiction, the forms of Government, and the significance of Religious stories.

I had to ask some year 1 students to look for a tutorial teacher to help them with JS 3 and SS1 mathematics recently. The whole 16 of them in my Engineering class with excellent SSCE results are visibly confused at the sight of any arithmetic work. Their last semester's performance betrayed the several A1s and B3s on the WAEC they carry about.

These students you help acquire grades they can't defend are usually frustrated in the ivory tower. Save them a voyage of pain and regrets in the future by ensuring they are well tutored and allowed to prepare and write their examinations unaided.

Gen Z....

Communication is about passing AND receiving meaning. To the average Nigerian, that thing is called Kèké Napep. OP should have just stuck with the local.term instead of using bombast or being bombastic

Nairaland readership is not restricted to Nigerians only.

Then give us the blackout... This minister is emboldening The useless discos in their ineffectiveness...

fawaz050:



Lol. When one's young, one tends to be grandiloquent. One would try to fit everything one knows in a simple write up.

But as one grows older, one realizes that nobody actually cares

In youth we learn, in adulthood we understand.
No knowledge is wasted. Let the young Man flex his lexical muscles.

illicit:
It's a tricycle

Which one is Auto rickshaw?

Ehn?

Your write up is pompous, like what an ITK student will write

Best of luck

🥵

Tricycle is a broader term... The specific name is cycle ricksaw or auto ricksaw.
He's not incorrect.

FreeStuffsNG:

Electricity has greatly improved. The major current problem now is pricing. The subsidy keeps mounting and FG knows it's not sustainable to keep the subsidies. If people price electricity well and pay for it they will demand for the best service but if FG keeps subsidising it there will be too much wastages and inefficiency like predominates before now.

Greatly improved at your feeder I guess.

Vision101:

This one na menial job na. Person get msc in engineering still dey do menial job. This one no sweet ooo.

That's the reality, man.. I visited the UK for a month in February.. I saw folks going for care work after their Masters.

tshtsh:

Never. I came to canada as a single person aged 30 with a professional job offer in hand and support from friends but I still struggled. I slept on my friend's sofa for 3 weeks before moving to an Air bnB (after earning my first paycheck). Stayed in a basement for one month. Then moved to another air bnb (room in a chinese couple home) where I stayed for 3 months. I could not compete for apartment rental for 4 months. All rental applications were rejected due to skin color, lack of canadian rental history, credit history and low credit score. The only landlord that accepted my application in the 4th month demanded for 5 months rent upfront. I can't imagine going through this with dependents. It was not easy.

Reality bites...

Basicend:


Don't mind the clownish dude.

Asides the monthly rent, several bills with heavy taxes wait for him there on a daily / monthly bases.

At the end, and truthfully, he is not really better than a Nigerian here earning quite decent amount of money as wages or salary.

Quite decent as in how much?

highchief1:
I didn’t want to comment.they tell u what they earn,they don’t tell u what they spend .my rent in Toronto is 2.3m naira monthly for a room and palor.that money can pay for a 3 bedroom yearly rent in lekki.that money in 12 months can buy someone a 3 bedroom modest bungalow.my prayer is for everyone to go to this abroad and see things for themselves.

I guess you're earning at least 5 million monthly... if you're married, your household income maybe be more or less 8 million... Mention that too and your quality of life.

CelestineNelson:
Have you ever come across a DNA test that confirms that the husband is the father of the Children?

Or is this a new tactics of scattering homes ?... Because this is becoming a daily occurrence !

Why would anyone announce a positive DNA test result?. People that are jakpaing to USA, Canada, Europe with their children mostly undergo DNA testing.

How do you measure beauty of a shrine?
Find another record to break abeg.

Proserpina:
Nairalanders and bitterness!

What if it's not mortgage?

I see couples working together to achieve their goals.

Hain!

Who do Nigerians to always learn the wrong things from events that happened?

Na UK oo... One year? ... Anyway, they did well enough to have sufficient credit score in a year. They must be earning a middle class income too.

yemmit90:
While an average Nigerian would've rather embezzled the money meant for power generation, buy solar for his home and use the rest to go and flex in America or Europe where power is stable.

The level of corruption in our country is no longer a pathetic issue but ignorance and pure evil.

Also a genetic and psychological issue.

allcomage:
I don't support rape but life jail is no no for me. 10 to 20 is OK, then our corrupt politicians should get life jail for corruption.

Right... Our politicians should be getting the capital punishment in that case.
But wait ooo... If it were in the north, na just for the man to show interest in marrying the girl, case closed.

StOla:
You are so happy with this news.

You are now motivated to rush out this news like when it was heading towards N2000 in February, but lacked motivation to rush out the news when it was appreciating downwards to N1000?

The ₦1000 is not even lower than pre -december levels.
Anything more than the pre 2015 exchange rate is a non achievement.

Beverlyjean:
What I don't understand these days is how people will commit a crime and dim it fit to record and then post it .... that's totally absurd..... it shows that Genz don't know when they do wrong

Gen Z are something else... In our secondary school alumni group, one recent graduand introduced himself, set, etc. When it came to state his occupation, he dropped a flier showing his cc loading, wire transfer, e-mail bombing tools, crypto exchange and whatnot. Face Palm.

Zxcvbnmghtr:


This is exactly what happened in the whole of South East. The Presidential election was a complete sham.

Obi won in Lagos. Atiku won in Osun.

THE WORST ELECTORAL MALPRACTICE IN THE HISTORY OF NIGERIA HAPPENED IN THE WHOLE OF THE SOUTH EAST DURING THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. Your description is sharp and very, very clear.

In the South East, during the election, anybody that doesn't vote Peter Obi is considered to be and OUTCAST, O'S'U and maltreated. That fear, made some to remain at home and not come out to vote their preferred candidate or party.

During the gubernatorial election which Obi wasn't on the Ballot, it all turned out to be a different story.

Imagine you finding the Chinese discrimination of Nigerians repulsive when it is so impended in the cultural practice of the South Easterner to discriminate within his own very tribe .

Dey lie small small na.

Asmmi:

But why do people spray money on already wealthy people?

Eye service...

Asmmi:
The spraying of notes is a Nigerian tradition. It's one of the ways the rich show off their wealth in public gatherings, most especially parties. You can't take it away from Nigerians because they love to show off publicly. Even public office holders are guilty of the crime. This break will not last long. Make Una dey watch

Oya na they should set ₦10 million aside for bail anytime they Go partying. That'd be a good revenue opportunity.

Cold water eba with sardines.
Boarding house vibes

Can someone please highlight where he actually posted that she should pack out of his house. All these bloggers should try and apply accuracy in reports.

She's very stupid for saying this.

This gal's oral game go tight. I love that.
