Eeyh...it’s unfortunate. I was at the University sometime last year for a project brief. The school was planning on construction some new hostels with a view of taking in more students. I guess that’s just a ripple effect from the pandemic.

In a case where classes have moved online, why should a hostel cleaner or janitor be kept on payroll? Same goes for other non-academic staff whose jobs have been affected by the lockdown order.

And how many people have actually run a business.

When I listen to most of you talk, I wonder whether you guys are even educated on how companies run.

Companies are separate entities. The have their own management staff, generate own revenues and pay.

They also can have different or same board of directors and chairman.

Most will be incorporated as PLCs or LTD.

No sane person borrows money from a different business to fund another business that is failing even though they belong to the same person.

How exactly will you report it? As what? They can only borrow money from the bank or finance houses but what will the terms be and how can will they keep borrowing to fund staff salaries? Schools are closed for now. If the school has pivoted to online classes which I am sure they would have, the only component of their fees they will be paying will only be tuition. So all other administrative roles will be moved online.

Pray tell me, why would you keep paying someone whose job has been made redundant. In fact worse borrow money from a bank or anywhere to pay people whose jobs are redundant?

U guys expect him to use his personal money to pay salaries of a business that is not making money ? Why not simply shut it down? That is also an option.

For those who do not know, schools are very highly leveraged. The financial projection only makes sense if academic sessions are not disrupted. this is what ensures cash-flow, i.e positive cash-flow. Once schools are not in session, they will go cash-flow negative instantly as the profit generated from the school would at the highest be 50% ( and this being highly generous). Some parts of the 50% would have gone into capital expenditure as a reinvestment back into the school so they might just have about 30%.

How exactly will they run the school with 30% of the original revenue?

@seun : I think you need to start making sure that professionals comment on threads like this. When people who are not knowledgeable about how business works comment on threads like this, it makes a joke of this website. compare some of the responses you get here to responses gotten on for e.g. the same type of question from Quora. totally different.

Thank you so much.

Even FG is beginning to pick the so called Oransaye committee/panel report that recommended merger of MDAs. The FG too wants to disengage redundant hands they have hitherto protected. That's a far cry and change in direction from the hold philosophy of " sharing the cake" that lead to N-Power and the likes.

I can never understand the ideology of you doing nothing financially for me and you are trying to checkmate me, want to see who I am talking to and getting jealous all the time.

Am I supposed to stop talking to other guys, because I am dating a guy like you who can’t even take care of the basic needs of a woman, her hair and toiletries? Of course I am doing it myself, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with my man doing it for me. If you are broke and do nothing for your babe give her some space.

She knows you don’t have and trying to cope with you but don’t choke her up, especially now when you have nothing to offer.

Ps: if you are stingy as a man, you are not a man, you have no value. I didn’t say broke I said stingy. If you can’t do in little you won’t in much.

So its only for financial rewards you can trade you details and moves to a friend or lover? I pity you.

In John 10:10 Christ said satan’s mission is to steal, kill and destroy. Since the year 2000, Bill and Melinda Gates have spent $5 billion feeding Africans and saving African lives. It thus betrays ingratitude for Africans to call them satanic agents. Can we not give them the benefit of the doubt? We have produced no evidence to substantiate these rumours, yet we are so prepared to forget all their good deeds and just label them anti Christ.

How can you say Bill and Melinda Gates are satanic agents when Christ said satan came to steal, kill and destroy? For years, they have been doing the opposite of that. It is particularly disappointing for politicians to make that claim. Can you do for your people what Bill Gates has done for them?

Sadly, misguided Africans insulted Bill and Melinda Gates when they expressed concern about deaths on the streets of Africa. But look at Kano. If we had taken their warnings seriously, Kano won’t be a #COVID19 hotspot today, despite having tens of thousands of mosques and hundreds of churches.

How can you have individuals who have not lifted a finger to help their people. Who have not shared palliatives out of their pocket. You have not done a giveaway.

Their only contribution to the #CoronaVirus fight is to insult Bill and Melinda Gates, who have spent more money on African’s health than their own governments Bill and Melinda Gates were not satanic agents when they provided anti malarial medicines to Nigeria, or when they provided food aid to the insurgency ravaged Northeast. Now they are satanic. Africa and ingratitude. What a shame!

Right now, there will be racist haters of Black Africans, approaching @BillGates and laughing at him, while saying ‘did we not tell you that no matter what you do, they will never be grateful?’. Africans. Without evidence, we have crucified a friend of Africa!

There are people who sponsor cultism now so Bill's generosity can't a proof of his love. Though I see him as transparent person.

We should not have to wait for every governor to figure out the right thing to do. Let the governors put their heads together with the PTF and come up with good generalized rules that can be applied in every state. If a rule cannot be applied in every state, it is not a very good rule. We are not that different from each other and the virus we are fighting is the same, so why should the rules be different? It is not right.

Do they think with their heads? I doubt. How can all States attempt to be country yet can't fund themselves? They are after money as usual.

This mass layoff is inevitable given the trend with oil and gas sales. We refused to take diversification serious and this is the end product.

Why do lecturwres and academicians like to compare themselves to political leaders? If doctors, engineers and every other set of people do that, how will the society ever move ahead?

All these ones they are doing ehn, I propose they take $1bn out of that and convert to N310 Bn then give it as N0.2m - N1m loan to about a million people who must have been affected by the plague. Small traders, businesses, etc

Abacha is like yahoo++ to Nigerian govt or how else do I explain a dead man from 20 years plus ago still delivering mysterious cash. This real home video at national level.

What is this nonsense now oga Buhari? During campaign Nigeria was a rich country with bad leaders but now Nigeria is poor country that needs debt cancellation.

EzeNdiAra:
What's your definition of ''right''?

Doing what won't amount to chaos.

Good thread.

EzeNdiAra:
So we should clap for you?

Someone did the right thing and you are talking like a retárded being there.

Seun:
We need a national strategy for managing the disease. Interstate Movement restrictions
are not the answer. We have to monitor every major city or town in Nigeria and respond rapidly to test, isolate and treat people before they spread it further. This is not a Lagos problem, Abuja problem, or Kano problem. It’s a global problem which calls for a global strategy, but for political reasons the best we can do is to treat it as a national problem with a national solution. The idea that you can protect your state by blocking your border when people are dying in the next state is preposterous. It we are not monitoring all areas of the country simultaneously, the places we are not monitoring will become the next epicenters of the disease. The states claiming no confirmed cases today could be the next Kano in the next two weeks. Coronavirus does not respect our arbitrary geographical boundaries. We have to tackle it with a coherent and uniform national strategy.

Nigeria isn't a united country like that. When it first hit Lagos they used a lost that favoured another region to share money out. That's what Nigeria is all about. Sharing of money!

The time lag this covid delay afforded us could have been used to prepare a lot of things like face masks production lines, Sanitizers, and bed spaces. Everybody is focused on how to get more Monet from Abuja.

aimmoney9:
The CBN can by issuing govt bond to the PHCN to offset d billions in disparity of cost reflective tariff which would boost the power sector greatly....though this move must be statutory...
Because d three main problems of the power sector are

MONEY IN BILLIONS OWNED THEM BY GOVT FOR POWER USED BY MDAs

COST REFLECTIVE TARIFF

VANDALISM

The CBN can help solve the first through issuance of bond in liaison with govt, while the last two all depends on govt policy...

Stop the grammar...

Python was designed from inception to be fast and traded off security concerns for speed so it is good for high computational demand tasks like AI and ML. It is also OOPL and so appeals to AI folks. As a result a lot of library have been build for it and it has Gaines even more ground in the AI world.

Where is the illegal resource they mined? Nigeria's internal corruption set up is their biggest ally.

Bullion state.

And some people who dont know ñwhether they were adopted here will be bashing their brothers as almajiri ...

She is 450% overrated.

Psalmy2cute:
I dont hate the north.. have seeing me saying anything bad about the north?? I'm saying send the homeless kid begging on the streets back home.. and this is the time to do it? how is the government suppose to cater for the children on the streets?? why should a regions problem be everyone's problem? If this isnt done.. irresponsible parents wont see any reason for proper upbringing of a child.. this is the time to do it... it's not as if when they're sent back to their states of origin and left to roam the streets.. their state will cater for the cost of taking care of them till this pandemic Is no longer a treat .. and the state government will as well see reason why they should educate and prosecute irresponsible parents,.. to hell with political correctness or religious shit.. this is what every state should be doing at this time.. I went to garage this morning in my area.. I could still see homeless beggars in the street... if they're already infected are they not ignorantly spreading the virus.. this is not a matter for debate

You have no point as it stands. Fashola did it and any other governor can. Sending them back now is just legendary stupidity in perfection.

The idea of cramping 20m people into that small space that is barely bigger than one local government area in Niger is just a stupid one.

Spacing in accommodation must be enforced after this plaque is over. That's the solution for Lagos.

Psalmy2cute:
I strongly disagree.. almajiri cannot be relocated anytime.. this is the right time to do it.. there is now a reason to do it.. imagine someone like wike, or sanwo olu saying he wants to relocate almajiri beggars back home.. do you think this will happen without northern forums seeing it as discrimination??

Did fashola wait for Ebola before sending eastern destitutes back home. It is like you hate the north.

EcoBrick:
My biggest concern is that this whole relocation exercise is a big charade because it will all be back to status quo after COVID-19 is defeated. Those kids would be released back to the streets to continue their begging.

God bless you for this...

Psalmy2cute:
and will leaving the almajiri on the street stop the plague from spreading?? it wont.. if not for this current plague.. the government wont even see any reason for relocating almajiri's off the streets.. so I think this covid 19 is like a two edged sword.. it has both good and bad side.. now the government are begging to see why they need to properly equip our hospitals and take the beggars off the streets

It won't but greatly reduce it. Almajiris can be relocated anytime but right now the cost is so high.

Corporate2020:
You are right, each state in the core North has its share of Almajaris. So all Almajaris should go back to their mothers and fathers.

I support them going back but not with viral load of Coronavirus in their body. What is now the use of lockdown if they send some positive and homeless people to new areas with no covid trace. It would have been best they stay where they are. Remember that Ondo or Ekiti man who refused his returning son from Lagos entrance? That's the whole idea here and not the preparation of Nigeria's breakup.

oziamaka:
measures should be put in place to check all these irresponsible parents giving birth to almagiris. family planning they forbid. these nuisance should go back to there parents, nansense.

In Nigeria where we cannot control people praying on public road is where you want to regulate private parts. That's an impossible task as it stands.

Psalmy2cute:
you must be an almajiri producer (parent) to be this pained.. what's wrong with taking away homeless children off the street and relocating them to their home state??

There is nothing bad in relocating destitute back to their community of origin but in a situation where we are trying to check the spread of a contagious plague, the worst time to do that is when we aren't sure if the almajiris already have the plaque. It will only hasten then spread within the new state line isolation borders.

With lockdown in place, that figure could be as high as 17 million

NaijaFutbol:
That was the best way to distribute covid equitably all over the North.

I tell you. It is like Nigerian govt welcoming back potential covid victim from UK when they were having it and we weren't yet.

The idea of sending back almajiri to their home states is one of the daftest move ever.

Every state has their fair share of almajiris residents and at the end of the day they will only end up sending or spreading the plague, while all the states will still have almajiris in them.

Take Kaduna for example, they are one of the first northern state to have it. Any attempt at sending back asymptomatic carriers is simply going to spread the virus to wherever the carriers, in this case almajiris, go to.

These guys should know better than this.
