You call it greedy, but should people earn income and refuse to pay income taxes?

But yet I'm sure you want government to subsidize everything for you

Patch patch CV

Is that really her pic or that of a Chinese sex doll?

Oh o! Baze university that just started in 2011. So clearly she attended the school when already a staff of Zenith. Very difficult to get First class when not working, talk less of while working. So she must have bought that First Class.

Why didn't she get first class from UniJos, which was clearly her proper first degree before working.

Isn't she the popular Adaora from way back that they said was dating CBN governor Sanusi (not the Emir of Kano, the previous one before Soludo) and who would do anything just to meet target and bring money in for Zenith!

Real female executives in top European companies don't have time for excessive beauty regimen, cos they are too busy to bother with such things. This one that looks like doll that spends all her time in beauty salon.
Her looks already tells you all you need to know. She looks like a competitor to Kim Kardashian and Bianca Censori and not a competitor to Funke Osibodu, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and other serious female executives.

Most of you, who even consider dangote as truely the richest man. Are all delusional, can you compare, tony elumelu intelligence with that of dangote, tony is way wiser.

We all know the tribe that own Nigeria, and how buhari kept printing money to distribute to his northerners without zero national productivity.

Dangote only excel in Monopoly, he can't compete in business.

Listen to dangote buisness interviews, listen to mike adenuga, listen to tony elumelu or herbert wigwe.

You will observe the difference between organic intelligence, and someone who claims to be the richest but doesn't lacks structural engineering of business model

Politics / Re: Billions Pour Into Nigeria As Tinubu’s Reforms Start To Pay Off - Bloomberg by COMPAQ(m): 7:12pm On Mar 08
sunboy:


This is clearly propaganda. In as much as I have hopes that Tinubu will fix stuff…

Yes money will flow in mainly because naira got cheaper. Cheaper to buy assets now. It’s common sense. They are only taking advantage of the situation not like anything is improving YET. Maybe later but not yet.

Does anything improve overnight? If I give you N1bln, you can't put up a 5 Bedrooms mansion is 4 weeks, yet I can knock it down in 4 minutes.

What Nigerians need now is for prices to be stable. For that, we need exchange rate to be stable since we import a lot of stuff, including diesel for the transportation of most of what we import across the country. So it's a double whammy effect.

And for the exchange rate to stabilise, we need hot money coming in the short term, Since demand for imports cant be quickly reduced and oil production for dollar supply also can't be immediately increased.

The taste and price is just too overrated and overhyped. undecided

Literally everyone I tell says something banal like, "You just haven't had it cooked properly!" Bla bla bla.… Chicken is the best.

If I cook with chicken it’s give me this natural lovely delicious chicken flavor taste and aroma but if I cook with Turkey it gives me 0 taste 0 flavor and 0 aroma. Nothing!! Nothing!! Nothing!!

Totally agree. And Turkey has so much bone, you'll be struggling to find the meat and wondering what the fuss is all about.

if you are single and you work from home permanently, you'll get tired of it. Except you want to use it as an opportunity to be faffing about, missing work and going out.

Its not healthy at all. I prefer the hybrid one I do where you do 3 days in the office and 2 at home. So I'm home from Friday to Monday.
In fact some days I aslo work from home on Thursday

Politics / Re: Construction Of Coastal Road From Lagos To Eight States by COMPAQ(m): 3:44pm On Feb 27
U09ce:
Someone should please tell me why this road is priority.
There already exists a dual carriageway from Lagos-Benin-Warri-PH-Uyo-Calabar.However,many sections of the road are in a terrible state. I'm wondering why they can't channel the 1 trillion whether PPP or govt funded to the existing road. Sha, rumours abound that BAT has interests in the contractor Hitech.

Another option is to use the funds to at least kickstart the coastal railway. It has far more benefits compared to the road project.

Totally agree with you!! There are better things to do with N48bln or N1trln!!

An extension of the standard gauge from Ibadan to Abuja is far more vital in my view.

https://www.arise.tv/nigeria-approves-n1-trillion-to-start-construction-of-coastal-road-from-lagos-to-eight-states/#google_vignette

This project is a bloody waste of money and is clearly a means to siphon money!!

We have an existing East West road from Eket - Port Harcourt -Bayelsa - Warri - Benin - Shagamu - Lagos!! How about completing this road and optimizing the corridor to make it free flowing? Now you say that there are a number of uncompleted roads, yet you want to do a brand new contract of N48bln for phase 1? Money that could have been used to repair a number of existing highways across the country.

Meanwhile it was meant to be concessioned. Now they are making excuses to make it a cash backed contract, so they can siphon!!

how does that answer my questions?

pls what are the "very tough decisions" that Tinubu is making that will gradually stabilise things?

who destabilised the things that Tinubu needs to stabilise?

you say "decades of corruption".

has Tinubu not been a participant during these decades of corruption?

how has his participation in public life been devoid of corruption?

Clearly you are just asking for asking sake.

Tinubu has only made two critical decisions - subsidy removal and float of the Naira, so why asking again "what tough decisions". What's tougher than subsidy removal that all other Presidents have kicked down the road.


"Who destabilized"...I basically answered this in my post. Go and re-read!! And then read between the lines, if you cant figure it out.

Is corruption all about Tinubu? He was totally not involved in 8 years of Buhari government. Totally frozen out. Neither Jonathan's govt.

That is Semantics!! Why then is the flight called Lagos London!!! it should be called Lagos - Hounslow!!

Seems you don't know what a greater metropolitan area of a city is. Technically Katy is not in Houston, but for ease of reference since its in the Houston Metropolitan Area, anybody in Katy will say they are living in Houston. Even Ikeja is not in Lagos technically, cos Ikeja was separate city on its own, which is why the Capital of Lagos State is Ikeja, not Lagos. Real Lagos is Lagos Island up to Oyingbo, Ebutte Metta and Yaba.

Your post is irrelevant.

We need something like this in Lagos. Lagos is the commercial center of Lagos and would greatly benefit from 24/7 electricity. Even if at a higher tariff. I'd gladly pay N150/kwh of constant stable electricity, cos my gen is costing me like N450/kwh equivalent, not to talk of the noise, pollution, maintenance etc

Despite that, we can only take Nigeria forward based on our reality of today! Not what it ought to have been! And that reality is that Nigeria is almost broke and we are nowhere near as rich as we think we are.

South Africa's national government has a budget of $125bln, yet they have no oil and 1/3 of our population

Algeria has a national budget of $98bln, yet they have less oil than us and lower population


Nigeria has a budget of $33bln. Yes I agree we have corruption issues. But even with zero corruption, in which segment of your thinking does $33bln match with $125bln!! Yet we are supposed to have a bigger economy than South Africa.


As for who destabilized, the rot started with Jonathan!!

Obasanjo paid our debt
Obasanjo had economic growth averaging 6%
Obasanjo left like $40bln+ in Excess Crude Account


Jonathan took down ECA from $40bln to like $30mln.

But the worst of them all was Buhari

Oga, you should have asked me before concluding that I don't have a nominee. Since Tinubu likes hiring his tribesmen to do the job, he should have hired Bismarck Rewane

I even thought he would either be the CBN governor or Finance Minister. Unfortunately, Ebola is busy rewarding his fellow crooks and clueless folks.


I beg leave Bismarck Rewane!! I've listened to that guy severally and he's overrated. Once Nigerian's hear technical jargon they don't understand they ascribe smartness to people. That's how we are easily deceived.

Besides he was an advisor under Buhari's government not so? Where did that leave us? Where was Rewane when Emefiele was selling Nigeria's crude of 2025 ahead of time to get dollar to defend Naira.
