Do you now agree that Wike is a better administrator than all the northern ministers of the FCT combined together?

he was given access to improved funding and allowed to run FCT differently in terms of access to funding.

Nigerian politicians only constructs roads, roads and roads. Another person will enter and start constructing roads again.
Eco 102 in the mud.

How can a country prosper with this idiotic mentality.
Construct this, construct that.
Nigeria don't need construction at this moment. Maintainance cost more than construction.
Maintain the existing ones

some of the roads constructed are also a form of maintenance as they got worn out, they are not necessarily new roads built from scratch.

With the country's oil wealth, 95% of the 1.7 million people should not be poor.

The country wealth per capita can build 200,000 quality homes in 10 years for all citizens. These homes will only be provided to government workers or distinguished citizens

If i have the ability to lead a country with that wealth as a dictator, i will be a benevolent dictator. i will build massive industries within the country, anyone who works continuosly for at least 5 years with government will have access to those homes. Government enterprises will be production focused. Any
citizen who works for 20 consecutive years at the minimum will have a pension scheme that will either be lump sum or annuity payments. The payment(s) will be tangible. Achieve 99% literacy rate in less than 10 years. Set up research institutes and import technocrats to train and develop smart brains within the country to launch a digital revolution. The roadmap should be in every 10 years to incrementally achieve at least 20% growth of producing within the country what should not be imported and the country has comparative advantage to produce.

Chai, ideas plenty, give me leadership and the sense to stay true to myself o Lord.

You had better seek help before you get chained, you may run amok with this level of frustration.

What is your criteria for the right one?

You may be making a mistake. It is important you ensure your criteria are not based on ephemeral things. If you are sure you have your priorities in men right and you also focus on self improvement, you should get a partner. Dont lock your SM page also. Stay open.

It takes investigation to decide if the teacher was stupid or not

Do you think that being a teacher means that someone can't be stupid?


We have seen a lot of stupid adults

how old are you? Is this the brain you will use to become a parent?

Your child will tell you how stupid you are if you dare become a parent.

Actually grid collapse under GEJ was a frequent thing as was under Buhari.

In 2010 and 2016 there were 22 times the thing collapsed

This year? 8 times

Social media and internet penetration within Nigeria obviously exaggerates current situation. Most Nigerians are also short memoried.

madridguy:
Online validation have turned many Nigerians to loudest people on earth. If I may ask him the noise maker what exactly in wrong in paying for the child school fee?

I am surprised many people calling it entitlement mentality. I believe the woman sees him as someone who is capable with little burden hence she asked him.

If people like Bill Gates, Tony Elumelu and other individuals offering scholarship many people won't rise. If you have anyone trying to get educated, trying to acquire any skill, please if you have the power assist him or her.

Abeg, he is not Tony elumelu. The moment the woman laid the foundation of her request on the basis of the man not having kids yet, she lost the plot. By the way, government need to start punishing parents who clearly gives birth to kids they cant adquately take care of. Someone who is hardly feeding a child , gets pregnant intentionally while reproducing poverty. Almajiris will increase in the street if nothing is done

Actually there are people out there who remembers their childhood from 2yrs upwards. If he said he does I won’t doubt him cause even my brother remembers

well, i remember mine from 3 years, i suspect it was easy because my family moved from one state to another at that period.

Kobicove:
Why would the birth of a new younger sibling traumatise a child?

it actually does in many cases. The age differential and the mind preparation for older child to accept the change helps.

Have you ever been a parent?

Trump should win, he needs 270 votes, and already has 230 votes. Sadly for democrats, Trump is leading distinctively in about 6 of the 7 battleground states that will decide the winner. If Trump wins in at least 4 of the 7, it is game over.

Ever8090:
Joke apart, some people are seriously mean..the way people value this money makes wonder if there is something more to it than what I know.

Money is all that some people live for, zero conscience when money is involved as if money can buy them everlasting life.

At least you can compromise your money making policy to contain humanity In certain situations.

I dey desperately look for money but I always get my conscience in check...

No matter how much we get, one day we go kpai leave the money behind the only thing we will have intact is how we lived our lives as we present ourselves to the owner of life to receive our reward according to our works .

Enough with this shallow view. Most Private Hospitals don't run charity. They will shut down in days if many people stop paying their bills. The workers can't get paid, the supplies for hospital needs can't be bought, entitled individuals like you flock such hospitals with the hope they will be let go after all humanity is more important than making money.

Let me tell you what is more humane : Not bringing kids you can't even afford to pay their basic hospital bills to the world. A pregnant woman has at least 7 months to plan for the birth of their bab(ies). It is quite unfair to give birth to babies you have no plan for. Government must start finding ways to punish people who do that, it is this anyhowness that gave birth to loads of Almajiri and banditry in the North.

I have less tolerance for people that can't pay pregnancy/ giving birth bills, it is rarely an emergency. It is a system of anyhowness and hiding under poverty. Use a condom or contraceptive pills if you think you can't take care of giving birth to babies. Giving birth to baby is sacred, what if there are complications and she dies in the process of giving birth, because doctor refuse to treat. When we start realising the gravity of our decisions, we start making better decisions.

Northernblood7:
Stupid students will take this as a weapon. I am currently a lecturer in one of the institutions in the country. I once had sex with one student based on normal friendship level but later when we broke, the pig tried to use it against me, tried to blackmail me but dangerous me made it clear to her that I will tolerate zero attack on my personality even if it means spilling blood. She understood the language and mellowed down ASAP

you broke the power play rule still. It may be argued she agreed to have sex with you, because you are quite stronger and influential than her, and not wanting to be punished while being a student for refusing sex with you, she agreed. It is best you avoid it entirely.

efemena5050:
No issue na just watch out for the following weeks how this case will be overturned from public opinion to sample opinion......u will later attest to my points about the the driver..... aurovior....

your mentality is messed up, there is no "overturn" that can surprise me as long as Nigeria has people with your shallow mindset in the majority.

I better pass my neighbour and oppressor mentality.....mtcheeew.

efemena5050:
u just open mouth and talk without reasoning....where did u see the senator asking that lofty driver to bring the goods into his house?....Baba the useless driver told the albino senator to come get his shit from the car with his assumption that the albino he saw when he came into the compound chilling outside was an ordinary man unknowing to him he was a senator.Now the driver noticing this started playing the victim card when the senator started giving him woto woto........for the driver to even bring out camera on time and even running commentary this clearly showed the sanator was lenient.......break the phone check the phone if any video have been posted tie the idiot and flog him 2by2 from 12 am till 6 in the morning............

writing like a primitive homo erectus. Who the hell is the senator

Does he have 2 heads? He is quite a little man in the mind with a super strong inferiority complex. The driver speaks and articulate better than him. He is an opportunist that should be confined to a basement. The driver also clearly has a higher IQ and EQ, I will prefer that driver represent nd take his space at the house of representative as he is clearly dishonorable.

Akpaamunsi:
Thank you. The honourable is even a nice man for allowing the idiiots to video him in his premises with only 2 slaps. I would have shot him with my service pistol . Videoing somebody without consent in that person's premises is a security breach and must be met with brutal punishment

you will meet shame and waterloo if you dont change your ways. When it happens, you will remember this statement you made......

kettykin:
If you have a business to run or ever faces customers in a challenging and competitive market then you would undeserved how wrong the bolt driver was

you are most likely ibo. I know your modus operandi.

I remember when someone was chopped in to pieces in the days of Jumia for going inside a home to deliver a package. Once a bolt driver gets to a front door at point of delivery, It is sufficient. Going indoors especially at night is taking it too far.

Dareal90s:
What do u mean Bolt driver is disrespectful, does he owe him any respect? So u expect the driver to come down from his car and prostrate to him, two adult men u are saying disrespect, pls explain better coz what u said is complete nonsense.

How that driver remained calm under so much disgusting behavior and gorilla puffing from the little worthless man should be studied.

kettykin:
..the bolt driver was very disrespectful to the Senator or house of rep member. Please watch the video. The only crime the rep did was over react and go physical

what is disrespectful about asking for your pay? Is something wrong with you?

Why must he go inside his house to deliver a package? What if it is a ritualist or kidnapper home? Lots of what if. He was in front of the house, the dishonorable man can send an aide if he does not want to step out. Instead the low self esteemed bufffffooon was impersonating "senator" that he is not and maltreating a man doing his job. That guy got slapped repeatedly and did not return the aggression, but the stupid no nothing dishonorable still arrested him and lock him up. The only way he could feel big is from outside praise and not inside, he was simply a little , worthless feeling man inside.

1Sharon:
Oh really? So women should no longer keep silent, they should address the immediate concerns? You can turn around to claim provocation?

That man was not looking for any response, he wanted a fight from the getgo.

Why are you putting the onus on the woman to get the man to act reasonable in front of their children? No be the man's body dey hot?


She only threatened to call her dad when it got physcial. She was pushed to wall and needed help!

So, do you believe releasing the video was a right action?

Everybody always believe they are infallible, until anger makes you do stupid things.

No two situations are the same and understand your partner. He was trying to reason with her by asking why she was sending a message that could make him lose his job. The wife out of "love" may have taken a drastic action to save her marriage. Some walking way could imply " i have done my worse, that is your problem......." While in some situation it may work. This man, i can tell is a logical man judging by him listening to his wife and informing the kids to leave with all the anger in him. It is serious disrespect to be messaging a mans co worker. Where was her dad when she wanted to message the mans co worker? She could have informed her dad about the man suspected philandering. We are all traditional in some way, he as a man felt emanciated in his house when she threatened to call her dad.

. I am not sure you understand Yoruba, so i could pick nuances from the short video that others without the understanding of the language may not pick.

The man obviously will regret his action as he took the anger too far, but noticed everything he was throwing was to the wall to vent the anger. If he truly wanted to hurt her , he could have. The woman had all the time to sit down , download the cctv and send out to whoever to destroy her home. Is peaceful separation or divorce no longer common sense? I can even tell this man is not extreme, and most likely counselling may have resolved their issues. The man was stupid i admit. But as a wife, she could have done better than destroying her image and that of her family in the way every tom, dick and harry is now discussing their issue.

Part of the essence of marriage is to protect your partner in some situations, especially when you can tell (s)he is on the expressway of self destruct.

1Sharon:
Pls explain to me how she didn't handle the situation well? Didn't you see where she tried to walk away silently and he stopped her?

Didn't you see that she only spoke up when he pushed her violently?

Is there another way to de-escalate a situation aside walking away? 🤔 Pls teach us.

You just spinned and twisted this scenario to make sense in your eyes. I salute your mental gymnastics.

she took an action that provoked the man. A better way to descalate was to at least address the immediate concern of the man. A simple " i am not trying to make you lose your job, lets talk about this when the kids are not here" will go a long way.

I am not asking you to agree with me to continue argument, i am providing real life skill that can be useful if you are married.

Telling the man he was going to call her Dad also triggered him, it is a gaslighting move to further provoke the man.

He lost his cool and did something crazy. I even feel deep down he did not want the objects he was throwing to hit her, he was just so mad . The issue was not well managed by both parties. The video should not have gotten outside. I suspect the wife released it to shame the father of her kids to lose his job and shame him.

Most people just looking at it one way

Anger is madness.

Two things i could glean from the information is the approach of the wife was dismissive when the man told her do you want to make me lose my job because base on the conversation i suspect the lady was s3nding text to possibly her husband co worker who she suspect her husband was dating......

Also, the man felt emanciated in the midst of the anger when she threatened to call her dad. The wife could have continued with the conversation or ask the kids to leave so she could explain her own side. She did not deescalate the situation and the man felt gaslighted.

What the woman did by releasing the video is worse She has shamed her kids , her self, her family. Why not separate temporarily or divorce if all else fails?

shortgun:
I believe the tactics deployed by the coach was actually to reduce wasting our attacking chances and not necessarily to starve him of passes. He doesn't have the skill or experience to win aerial balls

There is still a lot wrong with the coach who thinks their selected keeper does not have the skill or experience for aerial balls. Is it height issue or vision issue? How then does the keeper address corner kicks shot in the air from opponents ? how come a make shift striker scored 3 goals in less than 45 minutes? Possibly they should not assume and let the keeper turned striker be fed with balls only then can the coach be proven right or wrong. I bet the coach still wrote off the "keeper" as a fluke striker. it is called cognitive dissonance.

I have seen this behaviour played out many times at work, school, family by management, employer, parents e.t.c where they struggle so hard to impose their imagined ability of others on their subordinates, wards, colleagues and want to force fit them in to the imagination box. Any attempt by the subordinate to get out of the box will be met with failure inducing antics from the so called boss because they do not want to be proven wrong.

Summary of it all: Do not be scared to be proven wrong if you are sure.

shortgun:
Reminds me of our goalie in high school.
Dude was always cursing strikers for missing opportunities. To punish him and teach him a lesson our coach fielded him as a striker in a march and instructed we the wingers not to cross, dude scored 3 goals in 40 minutes....

i have a deep problem with the coach who instructed wingers not to pass to him, it summarises how many people think.

Why is the coach not giving him all that he needs to see if he will prove him right as to why he can't be a striker or prove him wrong.

I think it is a black man problem. We will intentionally want to sabotage and see the other fail so we can say "we said it". It summarises a section of Nigerian electorates and supporters as well whose candidate did not win an election.

Even me self with this Band A wahala, now if I Dey comot for house , I go switch off my light for the distribution board to on am when I come in the evening. If person tell me say he go be like this in 2019, I for call am big liar.

Abeg we need Jonathan to come help tinubu complete him second term

do that for now and prevent wastage. Nigerians will learn to cut wastage and cut their cloths according to their size as this reforms bite hard. The era of giving birth to 4-10 kids should be close to over for most of Niverians, not conserving power that can be duly used by others, drinking multiple beers like they will be extinct and flaunting lavish parties with champagne should be reduced.

The government MUST find ways to alleviate the pain for the poorest of the poor as it navigates the reforms. They have to ensure jobs are created enmasse in the next 24 months. I request this current government should not focus on winning any 2nd term as that is the usual basis of the window dressing by past administrations.

naptu2:
This type of headline has been causing problems since the beginning of Nairaland.

In most cases, the problem is caused by the journalist, not the person that made the device.

What is the source of the power, is it electrical, chemical or motion?



Modified.

very incompetent journalists everywhere now, i am not sure the editors are also well trained.
Even in this report, something as basic as getting the name of company correctly is missed.

The school of journalism should check the quality of intakes and quality of teaching. The incompetent journalists are now holding higher positions as editors i believe.

Kobojunkie:
So, clearly you admit then that OP Is NOT mentally OP even though he may be aware of the fact that he has to do something about the problem. Yet your suggestion to him is not that he seek help from a mental health professional? How come?

i am referring to Op' s mom. You asked prospective parents should make mental assessment and find out if they are ready to parent a child, but it takes a level of mindfulness, being self aware and in a good mental state to make such mental assessment.

Kobojunkie:
Please stop telling this lie! The fact that no one went to school of parenting is all the more reason why individuals should weigh well if they are mentally competent to raise kids or not. There is absolutely no excuse for terrible parenting, none whatsoever! Nature leaves the choice of having kids up to the individual so it is a choice to ruin the life of a child by way of bad parenting. His mother made that choice and OP is having to live still by that choice his mother made. That is EVIL.

OP keeping hate in their heart is like drinking poison and hoping the mom suffers the poisonous effect.

It takes someone mentally okay to be self aware and check for their mental competence.
