they should have let him fly and notify the Chinese immigration... the death penalty solves these issues faster!

I agree with you completely. These criminals should be helped to their death so as to protect a lot more folks from their contamination.

I think I can relate with the fact that your business is suffering a decline due to the reasons you enumerated. Because, no business can survive competition if the prices it charges are relatively high compared with competitors. However, I find it disgusting that you were talking of a pay-off from an owner whose business is suffering. To tell you the truth, you would work for free for a long time, for that man, if the conditions stay the same except you immediately take the decision to cut your losses by resigning or walking away.

At the university, I had good reasons to schedule a date with a fellowship sister I liked, to honor our friendship and mark her birthday. I got to the spot first and had to call when I was getting uncomfortable with the long wait. That was when she announced that she was already on her way with a friend, whose company I had already declined when she first requested. Wetin persin no go see? I simply waited for them. After orders were made, right in my date's presence, I simply told the string-company to double check with her friend next time to be sure her presence would be welcome and provisions already made to accommodate her, because I already instructed her friend not to bring her along. Mehn, I guessed I spoilt the date, cos the whole food was like gravel in their mouths!

wetin come still concern wike with refinery again?Refinery na rivers state govt property? Wike should focus on governance in rivers state and stop gallivanting.

there's outstation, hardship and sundry other allowances to be earned.

don't we have too many daft people commenting already? such cheap blackmail and absolutely poor effort at deflecting the vital questions asked.

People like you are supposed to live long. U get wisdom no b smal.

Thanks bruv. not a lotta folks would remain sane if they experience the wreck some of us went through, hence the advise. All women are capable of louing when it's all good but when loyalty comes with a condition, bolt!

I am a low income earner, with a wife, son (3 months +), nephew then 1 inlaw today another tomorrow.
My wife suddenly came home day before yesterday with the news she went Job interview.
The next day, she was ask to start work on next Monday.

Dilemma!
With what am passing through, I desire my wife to work so that we can meetup with some bills.

Our problem is we have a Son that is heading 4th month, her employers can't accept her with our baby.
She went to day cares around and was told they only admit a year plus. I tried to discourage her, knowing what our son is going to pass through. But she accused me of not being supportive.

Please I need professionals here.
This is one place I always get answers and support

If your wife dies today, will you bury your son with her? Use your head bros! else your may contend with resentment and rebellion your marriage may never survive.

kandiikane:
@ bolded, you can't have it all. She loves you and you love her... think of it as a positive. She is pushing you to succeed.

You seem to underestimate d danger materialism poses 4 a union especially when d culprit lacks d means to pick d bills. A materialistic woman would earn tons of money and still ensure that her husband pays for maggi. Perhaps you need to undertand that the young man, though jobless, is aspiring to pursue his PhD and as such is not being encouraged but stampeded. Three things can follow from his story: 1) she'll dump him when he is unable to sustain the monthly stipend. 2)they would get married if things get better soon enough. 3)she'd drive him into debts with her lifestyle when they get married and send him to a premature death. Love is overrated. Couples divorce, yet some die, yet members of the former union still move ahead to love again! Materialism is a red flag!

astrodome:
I just dropped the phone a few minutes ago after speaking with one of these old friends, got very angry after telling me he lives in Adamawa (Boko Haram) and needs money to relocate to his state of origin. This coming after I sent $700, respectively to a sister and a sister-inlaw this am
Dem wan kill me?

My brother, until you learn to say 'no' and stick with it, these folks would continue to drain u until you are effectively liquidated. try as much as possible not to help anyone with money for feeding, rent, payment of children's fees or medical bills. It's sheer waste of resources! Only help a few sensible people with setting up a business that can sustain them thereafter, and ensure such persons provide a greater percentage of the start-up funds. People get lazy and disingeneous when given freebies. If you love your life quit making people view you as an employment. I guarantee none of them would die if you stop helping them.

when you guys get divorced and you wish to remarry, do strongly consider pre-marital sex to gauge sexual compatibility.

death by suicide arising from a discovery of the fact that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

He is such a terrible mistake already. I wish he gets impeached before his full term. Such an unprepared president and a terribly bigotted northerner. A man that knows next to nothing and yet wasting our time and money with a hoax of being 'methodical'. My greatest regret is the personal loss I suffered to make sure I voted for him.

dre11:
This is what I call SLAVERY..... SLAVE TRADE
The company doesn't care about his workers but just to make blood money

Theirs is a business striving against the nigerian odds to deliver profits to the investors. When people review earnings and call an employer a slave master, I just ask why doesn't that person quit to set up shop so he can pay living wages. Having been in the management of a start-up that failed after guzzling funds meant to put it on life support, I know it takes more than wishes, postulation/theories and hope to survive in business. Company cannot value your life than you do and hence don't carry the same dreams as its workforce hence cannot do more than providing PPEs and some HSE standards. My condolences to colleagues, friends and family of the guy that died though, but i'm not sure he had his helmet on when the accident happened. To those that say the place should be closed down, imagine the fate of the families of those hanging-on in spite

No disrespect meant, but your marriage actually needs to break up so you can verify how practical it is to have a family and yet end up spending only on your commute to work in a month. I thank God for your husband because the extent of your selfishness goes to show how much emotional trauma and agonizing human degradation he must have suffered while he was jobless and broke. Some of una no dey try at all!

mercylicious:
@Pavore,
Very soon, shit will become scarce and ppl will be paid for their soakaway to be evacuated.
Very nice one.

You wished! But the true position is that the poo in the sump pits that have stayed longer than 60days may have expelled all of its gas and has no real value for biogas production. the best bet is to construct a biogas digester in the place of a sump pit with a drain to channel away excess water that will make faeces/water ratio mix unachievable.

aAK1:
I can actually do the modification needed for your gasoline generator to work on bio gas

Brilliant! Do I take it that you have had experiences doing the said modification or you just trust your competences to help you? Care to drop your email so we could relate when i get to that stage. Thanks

Pavore9:
This biodigester is the owner's patent so the thickness and quality of the canvass is not in my privy!

Thanks for your education. Pls, are the tarpaulin biodigesters not available commercially? what brand name, sizes/volumes, prices? Then again, in the absence of technical resources in nigeria to modify our gasoline gens to a biogas configuration, could u help with a brand name of biogas power generator and price range? I have always had interest in biogas technology and would have to look around to be sure of a sustainable supply of feedstock while i wait for you to revert. pls could u help with a soft copy of a study material on the subject? Thanks a lot!

gbl01:
NNPC have no overhead, they don't pay salaries, they don't run on a budget. They just generate and never spend part of it. They're on autopilot and no humans there. Maybe the humans are programmable robots, they don't spend. Wtf! Is wrong with the Nigerian youth.
Not exonerating them, they have lots of evil dealings Nonetheless which must be drilled down to confirm exact stolen amount and detect all loopholes.

i get your point and agree with you. People seem to forget that that the NNPC, with 12 SBUs equally is responsible for "Cash Call" obligation on JVs, on behalf of the FG. A spending of 3.8tr during a period when upstream ops are on hold while refineries are prevented from operating is suspect thus necessitating a need for a bit of thoroughness in the probe. Another issue raised by this revelation is the daily output. If in the biz you make only 52% gains, then it's nowhere near a cashcow. metering at flow stations and export terminals has to be reviewed

Bluetooth2:
I just jope there are good laws that are readily available to make the recovery process and prosecution of these thieves possible else these guys would go scot free without returning a dime.

Lucky Igbinedion stole billions but paid only 3.5 millions in return. Nigeria judiciary couldn't prosecute Ibori. Maina was asked to pay 750 000 after stealing over 30 billion while Aturu has just been declared not guilty.

Identifying corrupt people is not the issue but the ability to recover their loots and punish them appopriately by the law.

I cannot agree less with you. Until wholesome reforms are made in the judiciary, I am afraid, no headway would be made even if people are indicted. Like hoping to trap a grown human in a spider web! it is well.

well written! do you operate any atm?

fitzmayowa:
Will you stop this delusion, nigerians rescued themselves from PDP not tinubu...

It would be unfair to give credit to whom it is due. While i credit nigerians with providing the numbers that made change happen, Tinubu stood out as the marshal who used both his resources and the media to ensure that the wishes of the majority prevailed. Would ten million of your type have been able to stop the PDP with everything they did to ensure Jonathan got re-elected?

MyTime3:
We set up a "committee to reduce our salary?" Sounds childish. IMO.

Last time I checked we had a Salaries and Wages Commission in Nigeria.

Seems some persons don't even know their job descriptions in this country... SMH

Honestly, this got me confused. thought that was the responsibility of the Revenue Mobilization And Fiscal Allocation Commission headed by Elias Mbam. They should simply continue discharging their revised responsibilities: fighting; adjourning and drawing salaries and allowances on our bill.

olapluto:
So no Ministers for the next month?
Will they get salary for the month of June/July? This is unfair on Nigerians. 2 million naira each for doing absolutely nothing.

When renegades, helped by unpatriotic elements, were helped to the NASS leadership, some dumb fellows said it was the peoples' victory. Now PMB is on a course of directionless directionlessness and would not get the help he needs to hire those that would think for him while himself and these selfish folks would draw their next salaries for keeping this country fixated. e go soon clear like DVD!

Two things: Firstly, these guys must earn very high wages to stay on a job that doesn't provide remuneration for 11 to 16 months else they don't have good reasons to hang on. How have they been surviving? Lastly, those guys ought to be reminded that public liability company and a private business concern is not the same as a public corporation and as such they have no right to ask the owners of the business to stick with permanent staff when it hampers the capacity of the business to return profits.

OLADD:
Why are you speaking from both sides of your mouth instead of calling a spade by its name? One of Buhari's cardinal points during his campaigns was to revive the moribund textile industry. He specifically mentioned the comatose Kaduna textile industry. Why the sudden policy Summersault? Let's stop commenting like the average Nigerian politician.

Because i do not draw salaries from defending govt, i try always to attempt a rational analysis. First, this is one action aimed at regional cooperation and integration and is thus welcome. PMB should be the one to bother more about his campaign promises as our duty mainly is to develop a tracker with appropriate checklist to evaluate his fidelity. But whichever way you look at it, if extant conditions are improved; moribund factories revamped and yet they fail the test of competitive pricing, quality and acceptance, then they shall die a second death.

OLADD:
Buhari misfiring from all cylinders. While many Nigerians are expecting him to institute policies that promote indigenous growth and capacity enhancement, the Daura man is busy promoting importation driven econony! I hope Nigerians have not entered Half Chance.

I'm sure the last time you wore local fabric was as a family christmas uniform when you were ten, so why the heck about local industries? If you produce a good that doesn't meet a need with regard to pricing, quality and acceptability, how do you expect to survive competition? The earlier we recognise that we can't wish away the opportunities and threats of globalization, the better for us all. My only concern is having to strike off yet one way of a mass job generation.

cyril83:
You see your life. That's the failure you strongly recommended, campaigned for and sold out to gullible people of rivers.

It's very sad to note that Wike and his gang of dimwit militant legislators are a circus. I need to know: has a budget for 2015 been passed in Rivers? Surplus or deficit? Were those road projects captured therein? Did Wike submit a supplementary appropriation for those 'roads' which he intends to construct using a Zenith Bank loan? Thankfully Barcanista thinks this is inappropriate. I'm quite convinced Wike would transform Rivers into an El Dorado at the rate he redefining governance.

hardywaltz:
It's on Rythem 93.7 news.
The House passed it after 5mins of deliberation.

Of course it's their Rivers State! I've always had my doubts about the man Wike, but this Speaker is one clown that got multiple promotion. Whatever Rivers gets, she deserved!

I.m sure those that gleefully approved of the heist at the Senate yesterday are well aware of how unproductive the Senate may turn out should this type of walk-out continue. And for the group that think yesterday's events was a victory for Nigerians, just wait for the time when it would be difficult to form a quorum to hold parliamentary sessions; get a quorum to pass resolutions or assent to bills and such a time when the legislature would have to go on forced and extended recess because principal officers would be fighting to keep their positions while core legislative and oversight functions grind to a halt! Victory for Nigerians indeed!

WombRaiders:
Because your IQ is on autistic mode

Quite frankly, methinks a very quick resort to hauling invectives doesn't make one come across as intelligent. While I smell some sinister intent as guiding your opinion, I still wish to remind you that the Legislature is supposed to be an independent arm of govt and its elections is supposed to be one aimed at choosing a 'first among equals,' some factors considered. PMB, it was gathered, spelt out some traits he would like to see in the occupants and his party following from such anointed candidates which eventually lost! The loss gave your likes sadistic pleasure and yet you come back around to fault the president for not meddling or imposing? Haba mallam! If insulting rocks for you, you may wish to have an overdose, but do care to ensure that you are right the most time you do.

Donjowebs:
Wait o, lets critically examine NASS events of today, is it a victory for the APC,PDP,the North,democracy or Nigerians?

The way I see it, the biggest victory goes to the north. They stay united when there is a 'right' to be appropriated. Just forget the hullabaloo these contests have generated, these fellas own Nigeria and they would show it countless more times!. We could say it is a victory for democracy since it threw up officials that emerged by a constitutional majority, as opposed to the preference for anointment by the APC. We cannot exactly say if it is a victory for the APC or the PDP since the main reason APC anointed some aspirants was to prevent the PDP from benefitting from their division, which was achieved (even if PDP had its way with determining the ultimate winners). It would be premature to assess if Nigerians won in the power play that took place today because these guys are yet to serve us.. In all of this, my admiration and commendation goes to PMB for respecting the independence of the legislature and refraining from interfering with the process that threw up these new crop of leaders.
