Crime / Re: Police Kill Isa Dei Dei, A Bandit & Kidnapper In Abuja by COMPAQ(m): 4:01pm On Feb 07
Creamypie:
Have u all noticed that after a kidnapper, armed robber or any criminal is killed, u don't hear at all of members of their family crying and asking for their corpses from the security agencies for burial or challenging the security agencies for not taking them to court to be sentenced or even surprised they were kidnappers? Its as if they have no family at all.its cos They are all beneficiaries of crime and left 2 me, should be imprisoned. All Criminals have Families, who in turn, know what they do, so if crime has to be tamed, it starts and end in the family system. Evans, e- money kidnapper, who was once a policeman, had mansions everywhere, which were seized. If they weren't discovered after their Waterloo, their families would continue to be using and enjoying those properties. Idiots. Death to kidnappers, robbers and all the beneficiaries of crime

It doesn't work that way anywhere in the world!

If they have superior evidence of who else was involved they should make it available to the authorities. Civil servants can put many of our corrupt leaders in jail if they want to.

Please stop spreading incorrect information to excuse our nations stunted growth, all three cities you mentioned do have metro railway systems:

Houston (METRORail)
Dallas (DART Light Rail, DCTA A-train & TEXRail)
Atlanta!?! C'mon dude/dudette ( MARTA & Atlanta Streetcar)

Dallas's DART Light Rail and Atlanta's MARTA also utilize underground stations.

Is what you have in Lagos street car or tram or light rail? And Houston's is only in downtown. Its not available for 95% of the population. I live there.

Other governors should replicate this in their respective States.

Not every state needs it. I can drive from one end of Ibadan to the opposite end in 30mins.

Maybe Lagos, FCT, Kano and Onitsha really need it.

The rest should improve their road infrastructure.

Houston, Dallas, Atlanta Dont even have something like this.

It's not to have it for having sake! It has the solve specific problems thst reasonably equates to it's cost.

You don't spend N100bln to solve a N15bln problem.

NYSC / Re: NYSC To Be Reformed Into Revenue-Generating Agency – FG by COMPAQ(m): 8:44am On Feb 05
Namaster:
The quickest way to generate revenue from NYSC is to SCRAP it.

It's a total money pit.

The cost of feeding THOUSANDS of people for 3 weeks alone is ASTRONOMICAL. Multiply that by the number of streams in a year then include the padded parts that are embezzled and you'll quickly realize the cost is UNGODLY.

Add in a personnel costs and the 33k/month allowance and you'd see it's an UNSUSTAINABLE and ABSOLUTE waste of money.

SCRAP NYSC and it'll automatically become a revenue-generating agency due to money saved.

I see where you are coming from. But at the same time, there are also many unquantifiable benefits from NYSC

1. First opportunity for Nigerians to travel and see other parts of their country. Me going to Abia for my NYSC as an Ibadan boy was the first time I had gone past Akure in my life. And in that 1 year, I also got to PH for a few days.

2. NYSC is most Nigerians first experience of a structured work environment, which is helpful

3. Money saved from NYSC can be a means to get people started in life. The money i saved from mine lasted me almost 9 months while staying with my brother looking for job in Lagos. Yes I had accommodation and food sorted and I had cash gifts from cousins working in Lagos from time to time, but at least I wasn't a huge burden on my bro for basic things like transport, soap, toothbrush

And you can go for days, weeks, months without using them, and you still have to pay full price, unless you cancel your subscription

Also, DSTV for a while had the option of watching its channels online...(meaning you could do same).

Thank you o jere. There is even DSTV stream. So that cancels the argument of not being at home to watch it. I watch Premier league on my phone when i'm in the barbing salon.

Thank you for upholding your well taught values.
Now let’s stay on topic, the red rail was touted as a separate rail different from the NRC infrastructure (current one that runs to Iddo), except they plan to use that how is the red rail ready? I haven’t seen any construction since I last visited Lagos, they are not using a subway model.
Remember blue rail construction has been ongoing for 15yrs and only phase one is done.
Is the phase one active? can you confirm you can go ride the blue rail today.
Its not about what is said on the news but what the ground reality is.

Oga just use your google and twitter. LAMATA have issued several videos and statements on state of the infrastructure. The track is like 95% and the LAMATA lady said all stations except one is ready. And yes, they use part of the new Lagos Ibadan corridor and track for some parts and i think fresh or old track for other parts. Just google pls

Supported, it pains me anytime I remember watching my TV that what I subscribe monthly that I had never spent up to 7hr watching it in a month, sometimes it is the day I will switch on my TV that I will subscribe and after that moment that's the end .

Then you don't need it!! Cancel your damned subscription!!

It is not by selling Multichoice or changing the name like Nigerian political parties.

Multichoice may end like Nokia. The billing in Nigeria is very high and very unfair. Pay-as-you-view model is the only way out for Multichoice, and it is the fair model for subscribers.

Someone who goes to work during the day and stays at home only at night shouldn't pay monthly subscription. How many hours in the month does the person have to watch TV? This is the scam MTN used on Nigerians until Glo came. MTN rejected billing per second. But in less than a month after Glo came with billing per second, MTN quickly started billing per second.

On-demand video streaming is here to stay.

If not that anything goes in Nigeria because average Nigerians lack common sense, the toys called Goteevee and Starrtimes, which function with the same subscription model and are owned by the same company, will not even sell. Many Nigerian homes waste money on them and dump them after a few years. Those toys can't move market in countries that spend wisely.

You people have started with this nonsense again!! Show me the website of Multichoice in any other country where they offer this pay per view billing!?

Are the following not monthly subscription? Do they care whether you use it or not?

Microsoft 365
Internet subscription
Netflix
Spotify
Adobe

The content you watch on dstv is paid for in dollars. As Naira devalues, you need more Naira to pay for the same dollar, hence the price increases!!

How are they purchasing train for red rail when the construction is yet to commence? Blue rail phase one took 15yrs to complete, red rail covers a farther distance, I don’t even want to use blue rail as an estimate of how long it will take for the red rail construction to be completed.

Sincerely,
Ronu

I was well trained, otherwise I'd have insulted you! Don't you read news? What do you use your phone for? The red line is complete!!!

Another is the Lagos - Ibadan high speed rail service.
