You have yourself to blame for the most part.

If it was truly important, you will create a way, considering you were aware you had no alternative power source. In all you said, you did not state your alternative power source failed.

If you want to be a true achiever, you must learn to be self critical and take destiny in to your hands and not blame "NEPA".

Cindypresh:
Remove voter's intimidation,ballot box snatching, thuggery, vote manipulation and yakubu inec...Tinupoo won't have seen ordinary 100k votes in Lagos let alone winning the presidency.

You know
you must be kidding. APC card carrying members that are of voting age in all 57 local council development area of Lagos are over 200,000. It is this poor grasp and understanding of politics that make you think Obi can win a presidential election with Labour party when he is loudly absent in at least 12 of the 19 northern states. Nigeria's political landscape is beyond your immediate sphere and the small people you interact with daily. The political mood is skewed on major social media because of the Southern Nigeria youth vociferous voices and numbers with fancy english on X and instagram. Atiku was on the road to Aso rock till Obi emerged to capture his regular vote and the 5 PDP governors injected his presidency dream with a lethal poison.

Lagos is covered so much by the media and pockets of skirmish and ballot box will be exaggerated, while failing to consider the fact the state has well over 10,000 polling units and if there are issues in 100 polling units , it is less than 1%.
SportsRe: Napoli Players Blame Osimhen For Champions League Exit by chinchum(m): 3:24pm On Mar 16, 2024
I don't believe this sensational news. However, he won Napoli a supposed penalty at the start of the second half against Barcelona, but referee refused to check VAR.
5 goals in 5 games since return from AFCON is no joke. Against Juventus , he won the crucial penalty, that he played and missed but was scored via rebound by his team mate leading to a dine minute winner. Anyone criticising him has a confirmation bias.

Seyi has an office at Asokoro extension by Force HQ on on the rear side, stone throw from the Aso Rock Vila. He practically doubles at the statehouse. That office is witnesses all sort of visitors seeking one or two things from the cradle of Nigerian helm of affairs. In fact, he daily hobnobs issues of governance on daily basis.

No wonder you are asking illegal refiners be licenced to destroy the country.

Illegal refiners are not exploring oil , they steal crude oil by vandalisation of pipelines carrying crude oil .

Should i then set up my own illegal refinery after all Government will provide me license?

Do you understand the process of oil exploration ?

FamilyRe: Mum Rejects My Babe Cos She Is Not Fine by chinchum(m): 5:18am On Mar 07, 2024
sammymax:
I seriously need advice as I really don't know what the right or best thing to do at this time. Please elders in the house be kind enough to suggest what I could do.

I did not think something like this can still happen in this era but this is what I have to deal with. So my mum flat out told me she does not like the girl I took home because she is not fine. About 3years ago when we went home together she told me this but I just disregarded it like when I'm ready she won't have a choice but to accept her as she is. To be honest she is not fine at all but she gives me peace of mind which I feel is the ultimate.

She was involved in an accident with my dad last year and we lost my dad in the process. During the burial I went home with my babe again and my mum still made her displeasure with the girl show.

The thing now is that I went home again to see how she is doing and she called to speak me again after stating that I had disobeyed her by not breaking up with the girl she said is still not having her and if I insist she is the one I should count her out of the marriage. She can never come visiting or even call her. She will not attend the wedding. Now I am 32 and she is 30

How do I navigate this situation. I plead for good advice. Have you been in a similar situation how did you handle it.
The boldened statement from you worries me about you going forward because it is your own physical assessment of the lady. I suspect you don't necessarily respect her if you have such damning assessment of her physical beauty. I am wondering what convenience you are truly enjoying in the last 3 years beyond the "peace of mind" you stated. Is she economically way buoyant than you?

Why can't goverment retrain these people and license them to make there operational legal to enable NIGERIANS have essess of petroleum products.

Hence it's now established that those people called illegal refinery operators can produce those products, I think goverment should give them amnesty internationally for training and retraining to enable the country in the nearest future produce All this things locally than spending huge amount of money in importing it.

I left..!
Enough of this asinine suggestion. Government must obliterate any oil pipeline vandal who set up illegal refinery by bombing them at site.

operators of Illegal refineries are pipeline vandals, economic saboteurs, environmental pollutionists, and murderers.

The oil refined from there will "knock" your car by the way.

@ Op, was there willful damage of properties? If yes, she should show remorse to her "husband" and apologise and thereafter excuse herself from the marriage. She may have to payback what was destroyed. All the pre marital life story is a distraction and mostly irrelevant to the accusation on ground.

Ok. Wait until they make it N50,000. Or better still, go write IELTS with your 280k. Some faculties are giving it out for free, but I do not think it will be for long.

Go to the University Senate and tell them to make it free in all faculties and department. That's the right way to start.
Start your complaint from there. #50,000 to write a template letter is greed. Don't be surprised it is now 100,000.
Less than 12 months ago IELTS was less than #100,000

British scammers.

Ensure you get a letter of English proficiency from your School Faculty or Department after you graduate and use it in your school or migration applications. Where that is not applicable, write PTE, TOEFL or Duolingo. They are cheaper. I want to see this criminal IELTS scammers lose money.

Nigeria is a Commonwealth country. English has remained the official language of ways and means of interaction and business for 100 years. We should not be writing these exams which are purely meant to swindle hapless and desperate Nigerians seeking greener pastures.

I wrote it once in 2016 and got a band 8 in almost all criteria and never used it. It has since expired while I have gone on to acquire a Master's degree. It cost me only N10,000 to get a letter of English proficiency from my Department. I will NEVER pay for IELTS again. I will be facing my US applications. The UK and Canada are not on my list.
who ever collected #10,000 to write a letter of English proficiency in your college dept. is also a scammer.

We are no different than the people whe accuse.

lexy2014:
why should there be tough times in "at least in his first 18 months"?

who is responsible for causing the tough times or do tough times just happen without anybody causing it to happen?

take note of what you said..."at least". that means 18months is the minimum time for the "tough times" you predicted. the maximum time for the tough times has no limit. it can stretch for as long as possible. if that is the case, how do you now claim that "He is half way now"?

what are the "signs that the economy is not trending downwards"?

what are the "sprouts of growth by the end of this year and beginning of next year" that you say you will see?
when you hear removal of subsidy, does that sound like decrease in price of petroleum products?
Will a sharp increase in price of petroleum products translate to reduction in price of good and services?

Will removal of petrol subsidy cause more Nigerians to party?

He has spent 9 months in power, in another 9 months will Dangote refinery, Port Harcourt refinery e.t. be producing petrol at appreciable output to cushion the effect of Nigeria sourcing forex to import petroleum products?



Does Nigeria's daily production of over 1.55million barrels of oil at the moment from 1.3million barrels about 9 months ago sound like a decrease?

What are the chances foreign investors set up shop on day 1 of a new administration making policies to attract them?

What are the odds that federal government workers will begin to earn appreciably better than they are currently earning in the 9 month?

What are the chances that more Nigerians will make adjustment to spend more on needs than profligacy in another 9 months?

TravelRe: Is Traveling (japa) Truly An Achievement by chinchum(m): 4:38pm On Feb 26, 2024
pansophist:
I remember when my mum was at Brussels North station one rainy night, and she was shocked to see lots of homeless people sleeping in tents at the train station. She was now asking me, why didn't these people just go back home?

Both whites, blacks, and middle easterners, are all sleeping, and the NGO gives them food every day. So tell me, is that a good life? of course not.

There are lots of people in Nigeria that are doing great, and they are living well. I do rent Airbnb in Lagos sometimes, and the kind of mansion I see, mehn, their life is way better than those in the west.

Japa is not an achievement. It is just a location change.
You are comparing two extremes and that is your fallacy.

The poorest of the poor in 1st world countries vs richest of the rich in 3rd world countries.

That homeless guy in Brussel with close to certainty will not be wealthy in his home country.

Even biblical events shows myriad of examples that migration meant the migrant achieves the next level. Some migration were divinely inspired.

Infact leaving your "hometown" where you grewup is called a lifehack.
FamilyRe: My 13 Years Old Has Become Terrible! I Want To Send Her Back To Nigeria by chinchum(m): 5:08pm On Feb 24, 2024
Mrperfecto:
I will just be brief without writing too much.

We are based we have 4 children, my first child is 13 from my previous relationship, she has become very terrible, she doesn't listen to me or my wife. She tells her that she is not her biological mother and she cannot control her. She had threatened to call the police on my wife telling her if she touch her she will fight her back and call the police. She goes to school and closes at 3.45 her school is 10 mins walk from home, but she is always late for home.

She comes home around 6 sometimes 7pm , as I am writing now every friday she closes at 12.30 but she is still hasn't come back home yet.

I am on my way to work. I start at 6.30pm till 2.30am so I rarely get to see her and she only misbehaving when I am not around. So far we have seized her phone because we had found so many inappropriate messages exchanges between her and boys. We had also removed the TV from her room and her behaviour has gotten worse. She is behaving like she's possessed.

My wife and I are fed up. Even her siblings are tired of her. We want to send her back to Nigeria maybe in a boarding school until she is 18 in order to protect her younger ones. If we keep her and she continues with her terrible behaviour I may beat her badly and we may end up loosing all 4 children to the authorities.

Please what advice will you give to me concerning this issue?
Start some baby steps.
1. Going forward, school ends at 3:45pm, pick her up at closing of school which should be about 3 minutes drive from your house. You have time since you don't resume at work till 6:30pm

2. Take only her out on a date possibly a weekend to a nice restaurant and have a relaxing gist about life generally. Provide reminiscent stories of life for you growing up.

3.Switch suddenly when back in the car going back home from the father-daughter date with a stern but worried look asking her if she is aware of your special love. Tell her to confide in you her concerns.

4. Tell her she is not abnormal and you understand her challenges as she is transitioning to puberty. Buy her books on teenage self awareness and understanding their body.

5. Set up the father and daughter date at least once in a month.

6. Do this for at least 6 months.

SE were emotionally spent after the South africa game. The semi final win celebration was more than a final and i was deeply worried thereafter. I knew something was wrong, it showed in the quality of our players yesterday.

The coach got his starting formation wrong in the first half starting Chukwueze as well, He had a life line in the second half, but tarried to make the changes. At the end of 1st half in yesterday's game, if ivory coast was leading 2-0, it would have been justified as the pressure was so much and we were soaking it in badly, but fate gave us an unusual 1-0 lead after first half. WE BUNDLED IT. Most finals end 1-0 or even 0-0.

I believe we now have a workable formation going forward during our away games world cup qualifiers at the very least.
