Car Talk › Re: This Car Made Nissan Lose Its Value In Nigeria Auto Market (pix) by COMPAQ(m): 5:37pm On Oct 29
brain54:
:::


This rapmoney done come again with one of his anyhow talk.


Nissan has never been as popular a brand on same level with Toyota and or Honda.


The popularity of Nissan as a brand never diminished or demarketed.


Murano as a product/model faced challenges due to either factory issues with its gearbox or Nigerian auto mechanics unable to fix issues related.


But Nissan as a brand has been consistent and maintained their level and trajectory in the nigerian market.


Confusing a single model with an entire brand with no sales record, figures or evidence to show to show any decline in Nissan's market share or value.


The odd thing is the mods that would push such topics to front page just because someone claims Murano is rotting away in people's compounds.


:::
If you really know anything about cars, you'd know that the guy's post is actually accurate.

There are many Nissan models that one would think would do well in Nigeria, such as the Sentra and the Altima and the pathfinder, yet there are nowhere to be found on Lagos roads.

Compare that to Corolla Camry Highlander, accord and civic and pilots that you see everywhere

Travel › Re: Demarcation Still On Niger Bridge, Solar Lights Installed by COMPAQ(m): 7:29am On Oct 08
naptu2:
De Peters is an Obidient and a content creator. He lives near the First Niger Bridge and he noticed that the bridge had been vandalised. He made a video about the damaged sections of the bridge.

A few days later the minister for works, Engineer Dave Umahi, visited the bridge and rehabilitation works began.

De Peters was excited that his video had such an impact so he began visiting the bridge regularly to make videos about the rehabilitation.

His fellow Obidients insulted him and accused him of being paid by Umahi, but he continued making videos about the bridge anyway. He regularly spoke to the workers to find out what exactly they were doing.

On Monday he said that one of his viewers asked him to walk the whole length of the bridge and make a video of it. He therefore did so.

When he got to the middle of the bridge he showed that there was a junction for U-turns.

Some metres further down workers were removing part of the demarcation to make a second junction for U-turns. This was on Monday.

On Tuesday I was mentioned by Gotocourt and Elusive001 who claimed that the entire demarcation was being removed. Apparently they saw the workers creating the second junction and assumed that the entire demarcation was being removed. This is not true.

Below is the video from Monday and below that is a post and photos from Tuesday that show that thr demarcation is still there and more solar lights are being installed.

Does Obi have a strategy team and a proven manifesto or is he just making statements on a whim? Having seen the momentum that Atiku is generating with his position on subsidy, he is now trying to share some of that spotlight. He thought he would gain political points for being called "consistent" but has rather found himself being used by the APC to justify Tinubu's disastrous subsidy removal. Obi should hire professionals to manage his campaign.
Exactly! No clear position.

Sorry bro, I think you are missing it.

You cannot be manufacturing the same product for me; I borrow at high amounts to pay your product price + shipping costs to deliver to my retail shop in Trade fair, only for you to compete against me by bringing the same product to the same market directly from your factory at very cheaper rates and expect me to stay silent. That’s very unfair trade practice.

Family › Re: Infant Dies After Mother Withholds Care Over Push Car Gift Dispute by COMPAQ(m): 8:43am On Sep 08
emkz:
Some rubbish culture needs not be normalized.

What is the essence of push gift? Who started it? In the past, childbirth was honourable. There were no commercial aspects. Now, people feel when they give birth to a child, they are owed a car. Make it make sense. Some spray money on their wives. A car is a depreciating asset. If you have money, why not buy land for that child and open a fixed deposit account in that child's name? If she gives birth to six children, can you afford six cars?

Let us do better.
Its the olodo uprising we talk about! We have become such a classless society that we (especially girls) monetize everything.

My wife can never dream of talking this nonesense of push gift!

Its useless girls that will open their mouth to say such, and the typically classless, ill disciplined men that will actually implement it.

Romance › Re: Do "Bad Girls" Really Marry Better Men? by COMPAQ(m): 7:50am On Sep 08
Goo0dHardDick:
Bad girls do not marry better men. That's false narrative!

By Nigeria's definition of better men, it simply means a rich notorious Simp who's over ready to lavish heavily and funds her lifestyle! Since bad girls are well exposed already and eager looking out for rich magas who can outspend on her before she'll decide the one with the enough cash to accept his marriage proposal.

Since good girls (which are predominantly those religious church girls) are highly pretentious, always hiding and acting l innocent and holy like Mary amaka, bad girls are directly the opposite, they engaged alot in kaymata (love charms) to attract rich men.

In conclusion, avoid damaged girls, wether bad or those religious ones. For your own sanity, go for whoever makes you happy
The better men you reference are not really better men. They are simp[ly rich men.

That a high class runs girl marries a wealthy Yahoo, Drug guy, Ritualist, Scammer, Fake drinks and medicine producer etc whouldnt be equated to marrying a 'better man'. Local and illiterate, but wealthy people typically want to marry a pretty girl by all means as a trophy wife. So they go for some of these girls, knowing that their ways are not really pure. The don't care as much because they themselves know they will cheat anyway.

The women too don't mind because what they want is comfort.

However, there are cases where a baddie will form like a good girl to marry a genuine better man, but thats few and far between. if you have any sense as a man, you should observe your girl enough to know that this girls has a dodgy past life.

From the way she speaks, dresses, attitude, manerism, how she converses on the phone with her friends, who her friends even are, you should be able to paint a decent picture of her as wife material.
Politics › Re: Makinde Rejects Fuel Subsidy, Proposes Cheaper Domestic Crude Pricing by COMPAQ(m): 7:44am On Sep 08
patrickmuf:
This is very achievable. Go after oil bunkers with full government resources. Once you recover the millions of barrels we lost to bunkers, sell about 60% of them to Dangote at a subsidized rate for local use.

To make this work, we need to tighten our borders; otherwise, smugglers will move nearly 50% of the subsidized fuel to neighboring countries for large profits.
Story!! We haven't gone after bandits, unknown soldiers and kidnappers with full government resources! Its now bunkerers we will go after.

Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

There are weak financial controls across the entire government financial accounting system.

I would have thought one of the first things that the Minister of Finance, Taiwo Oyedele, would have done is set up a committee from the Big 4 to review the Federal Government Financial Control Framework.

Corruption in government is still too easy.
Business › Re: Nigeria’s Economy Expands 17% In Dollar Terms As Naira Rally Boosts Growth Story by COMPAQ(m): 7:51am On Sep 02
lionshare:
Without that “paper growth,” you cannot have real growth. I honestly don’t know why this is so difficult to comprehend.

That growth is already doing something important: if the economy is growing faster than the population, then output per person is increasing. The problem is that the gains may not yet be evenly distributed, and that is a very legitimate concern. But that is different from saying the growth itself is meaningless.

You need growth before you can have more investment, more businesses, more jobs and, ultimately, better incomes for the average person. People with capital will naturally look for economies where they can earn a return on their investment. The more attractive the growth prospects, the more likely that capital is to come in.

So yes, we should absolutely talk about how to make the gains more broadly shared. But dismissing the growth because the benefits aren't evenly distributed yet misses the bigger picture.

You cannot sustainably reduce poverty without creating more wealth in the first place.
Well said! Eventually more jobs in the real ector, means more activity in the informal sector.

More people buying cars means more people hire drivers.

People getting higher paid middle class jobs, means people hire more nannies.

More cars being purchased means people buy more tires and part from Ladipo etc.

But the Olodo uprising people cannot see the linkage. Only to complain like they are illiterate.

Paper growth without any impact on its people
It takes time, particulalry in such an unstructured economy like ours.

Those in the informal sector will feel it last. How does growth in an economy quickly impact the vulcanizer, plumber, carpenter, electriciam, welder, meat seller etc. They are not plugged into the formal economy.

However, if youve seen your stocks rise, the value of your pension contribution get bigger, your company paying higher bonuses, price of vehicles getting a bit cheaper etc, they you will feel the impact.

I'm not convinced we really have the skilled manpower we talk about.

If we did why are employers of labour always complaining about the quality of people they see at interviews. And itsa know fact that the quality of our graduates are quite poor. Likewise our artisans.

Asides this, there should be a focused campaign to train and/or retrain Nigerians in these sectors to gain the necessary international certifications and practical hands on experience to prove their competence.

I don't see that happening. Masai has been super consistent in last 18months. Like the article said, she's unbeaten in 7 Diamond League Races. This is hear peak period and she has shown that by breaking the World Record.

Tobi had her time then and that time has passed. Tobi has not come close to that time since then. Infact this 12.23 is probably her fastest time since that world record. meanwhile Massai had run 12.14 and 12.19 and multiple 12.20's this year alone.
Politics › Re: Probe Me Over $16bn Power Spending If You Have Evidence, Atiku Dares FG by COMPAQ(m): 3:50pm On Aug 27
nairalanda1:
LOL...

The funny thing is that there is some evidence the money was spent, after all generation grew in the period 1999-2007

I believe Atiku is corrupt, but on the 16 billion dollars thing, there is no proof, just hearsay.

The thing is, 16 billion is not enough to pay for fixing power. It was true in 2004 and it is true today. Fixing power in Nigeria needs far far more tha 16 billion.

I'm amused that APC is making a mountain out of a molehill here.
People say that the $16bln was stolen because electicity didn't materially improve.

Funny thing though is that as part of the NIPP about 7 power plants were built.

Calabar NIPP
Sapele NIPP
Alaoji NIPP
Olorunsogo NIPP
Omotoso NIPP
Geregu NIPP
Ivhobor NIPP

The main issue why generation didn't massivley increase was lack of gas.

The $16 billion power sector intervention often associated with the Obasanjo administration (1999 to 2007) was largely tied to the National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) and other generation, transmission, and gas infrastructure investments. The money was not spent solely on constructing power plants.

The principal power plants initiated under the NIPP during that period were:

Alaoji Power Plant (Abia State)
Olorunsogo II Power Plant (Ogun State)
Omotosho II Power Plant (Ondo State)
Geregu Power Plant (Kogi State)
Ihovbor Power Plant (Edo State)
Sapele NIPP Power Plant (Delta State)
Calabar/Odukpani Power Plant (Cross River State)

These are the seven NIPP power stations that Obasanjo later referred to when responding to allegations that the funds had been wasted, stating that the investment was embodied in the seven NIPP projects and associated gas turbines and civil works.

In addition, the intervention covered:

Procurement of 18 gas turbines.
Transmission lines and substations.
Gas supply infrastructure required to fuel the plants.
Upgrades and support for PHCN facilities.

A key point in the controversy is that most of these plants were not completed and commissioned before Obasanjo left office in May 2007. Several were completed, commissioned, privatized, or substantially expanded under subsequent administrations. This is one reason why there has been debate over whether the spending produced commensurate electricity output during that period.

Approximate installed capacities eventually achieved
Alaoji: ~1,074 MW
Olorunsogo II: ~750 MW
Omotosho II: ~500 MW
Geregu NIPP: ~434 MW
Ihovbor: ~451 MW
Sapele NIPP: ~451 MW
Odukpani (Calabar): ~561 MW

Combined, the NIPP plants were designed to add roughly 4,000 to 5,000 MW to Nigeria's grid when fully operational.

So, if someone refers to the "$16 billion power projects" of the Obasanjo era, the most commonly cited power plants are the seven NIPP plants listed above, alongside the associated gas and transmission infrastructure that formed part of the overall program.
