Politics › Re: Cost Of Electricity Consumption In Nigeria Cheapest In The World – FG by COMPAQ(m): 12:29pm On May 07, 2023
GreyLaw:
Rubbish. Just like Ngige shouting at the top of his lungs about subsidised education. You can only call something subsidised when you offer original quality/quantity at reduced cost.

Nigeria wey light no dey and people dey pray make PHCN give light for heat period make dem fit use fan na hin dem say their electricity be the cheapest.

Thanks goodness Buhari is packing his bags home to his home in Niger or wherever he calls home. Let's someone else try. Maybe BAT go do better. Just maybe.
Nope your statement about subsidy only applying when original quality is at reduced cost is wrong. If the sale price is less than the per unit cost intentionally, then a subsidy is in place. Simple.

Politics › Re: Mc Oluomo Disgrace Shina Peller In Public For Not Voting Tinubu (photos,video) by COMPAQ(m): 11:39am On May 02, 2023
Hurbashola:
Videos making rounds online captured the moment Shina Peller went to greet the former NURTW boss and he shunned him.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8P6-7JTzL4

In the video, fuji musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, was heard singing in the background while Shina Pellers reached out to MC Oluomo.

However, MC snubbed him and made some gestures insinuating he was not interested in exchanging pleasantry with Shina Pellers.

It is uncertain why MC Oluomo treated the former lawmaker in such a manner.
Reacting via his Instagram page on Monday, King West applauded his father for snubbing the Quilox boss, saying he was showing fake love.

According to him, Shina Peller betrayed his father and yet wanted to exchange pleasantries with him at a public event.
He added that his family doesn’t tolerate fake love.

He wrote: “You betrayed him, you wan come dey Greet am never. I trust my pops.

“No fake love, if you know you know
This MC Oluomo needs to be taken down a notch!! I can't believe with all what he said during the elections, there is no case filed against him!

Just goes to show there is no justice in this country.
Politics › Re: Sowore Tells FG To Pay Workers Between N100k-N250k by COMPAQ(m): 8:43pm On May 01, 2023
NwekeUG:
As Nigeria joins the rest of the world to mark International Workers' Day today May 1, a former Presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has asked the Federal government to pay workers between N100, 000 to N250, 000 as monthly remuneration, IGBERETV reports.

Omoyele made the appeal on his Facebook page. He wrote;


https://www.facebook.com/803267836/posts/pfbid02GJoWHMkEpYL3ZDmTeHwapu1ZY3TChTABjKnneTt99qTQZfZoCKZDPSB1VQfuK3PZl/?app=fbl

The minimum wage in Nigeria is currently N30,000.

https://igberetvnews.com/1444027/workers-day-pay-nigerian-workers-n100k-n250k-sowore-tells-fg/
I totally agree with this, but my other arguement is that the Federal and state government need to reduce the number of people on their payroll by about 30%. There are too many unproductive civil servants doing barely nothing.

You are very stupid. A resident doctor earns 280k a month in Nigeria and 4m a month in USA. Why can't the federal govt increase their pay, put money in developing the health sector and stop oversea medical trip. Mumu
This comparison of Nigerian and American salaries is usually not a good arguement, cos cost of living is also higher in America.

A standard 3bedroom house in a major city in America will range from $1500 to $2,300 PER Month. Likewise electricity,petrol, water,gas, insurance, medicals are far higher than Nigeria.

This creemenal. You were practising in the US before coming back for politics. Now you make billions here and call it patriotic service.

You don't train anybody free. They pay school fees and you give them substandard training with poor equipements and they have to study until the are almost dead before they graduate. When they get abroad they still have a lot of observation and learning to do. They work very hard to be recognised by their peers.
Your argument is a bit is a chicken and egg arguement. Your say the education is substandard despite the fees. The government says the education is substandard because the fees are inconsequential.

I think a good test is to find out what they pay in private universities in Nigeria. Only then can you assess whether the government universities are dirt cheap or not.

And from what I know, they actually are dirt cheap.

chrisxxx:
FG should put in place steady power supply prior to removing subsidy. Don't put the cart before the horse.
If it requires Tinubu selling Nigeria to China to have steady power supply let him do it. Thereafter he could remove subsidy and from the proceed of subsidy removal we can repay whatever loan taken to afford steady power supply.
I hope you know it's even loan we are using to pay subsidy. So it's not like there is any savings anywhere after subsidy removal. It just means the size of our loans reduces

muhammaduyusufu:
https://thenationonlineng.net/southwest-states-to-launch-regional-electricity-rail-projects/

Just two years ago, the South-West govs proposed six regions, demand LG autonomy, and resource control.

https://punchng.com/swest-govs-propose-six-regions-demand-lg-autonomy-resource-control/
This is the most sensible thing the SW could have done. I would say that each state should have a target to build a 250MW power plant in the first four years of the new administration, which could be gas, hydro, solar or wind depending on the advantages each state has. That should make 1500MW by 2027, and then a target to add another 250MW each by 2030. Worst case, Osun and Ekiti should combine to build one, but the other SW states should be able to build one each.

Rail is good, but is less of an issue for me. Good quality road network in the SW should be a priority, preferably tolled and maintained by the private sector.

[quote author=okeysoninv post=122810567][/quote]Operative word there is CAPACITY!! How can they produce that capacity when there is constant vandalization, theft, bunkering etc. Most oil companies with onshore operations are not producing up to 50% of their CAPACITY.

Besides, there is what you call natural decline in an oil field over time. Which is why they constantly need to drill new wells to replace natural decline, but most oil companies are not investing because of the issues i mentioned above, as well as delayed PIA.

It's funny that even outside the shores of Nigeria our people still have to through such hardship when we are called the giant of Africa, the most populated black nation

A Giant that's struggling to stand, we really need to do more as a Nation to reduce incidences such as this from reoccurring, we should have been a credible example to other nations

How do we still face such international embarrassment at this point, the citizens should be placed as priority over anything else but what we have are citizens placed last. Nigeria needs to do more, the reputation of this nation needs to be worked on, When last did anyone wake up to any good news about this nation...haba it's truly unfair
Have you heard that term "Giant of Africa" used in the public space in the past 8years? We have quietly conceded that title to South Africa!!
Sports › Re: Arsenal Will Officially Be Playing Champions League Football Next Season by COMPAQ(m): 12:47pm On Apr 27, 2023
obembet:
Arsenal officially secured UEFA Champions League qualification on Wednesday evening despite losing 4-1 at Manchester City.

That is because Brighton & Hove Albion's 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest elsewhere on Wednesday made it mathematically impossible for the Gunners to finish below fourth place in the Premier League this season.

Therefore, Mikel Arteta's team are guaranteed a spot in next season's Champions League group stage.

Arsenal have not played in the Champions League since the 2016/17 campaign when they finished top of Group A, ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, but lost 10-2 on aggregate to Bayern Munich in the round of 16.

Man City are also now sure of a place in next season's UCL.

Newcastle and Manchester United are strong favorites to take the other two spots but Liverpool, Tottenham, Brighton and even Aston Villa still have an outside chance of qualifying

Source: https://twitter.com/goal/status/1651324297682595845?t=LOVgVdvK6G4pWmJpYFgwCg&s=19[/quote]Arsenal might not win the league, but getting back into the Champions league is a huge achievement and the team should be proud. What this means is that:

1. The team will earn more money to sign new players to increase the squad depth
2. Champions league eligibility means the team can attract better talent who might not otherwise want to sign for the club
3. The two above provide a platform for Arsenal to continue to be a top 4 team for the near future and further enhances 1 and 2 above. It becomes a repeated cycle.

Subscribing to specific channels is not the same thing as par per view. If you subscribe to a specific channel for amonth and don't watch it, how is that different from subscribing to dstv premium and still not watching it.

Good! It’s high time those useless people get taught a lesson. The useless Reps have failed to call Multichoice to order with the way they keep milking Nigerians of their hard earned money and that’s because they’ve been bribed to shut their mouths. I even heard most of them have shares with Multichoice and that’s why they don’t care as long as money keeps coming to their Accounts. Normally, a country should have more companies like Multichoice who will provide proper competition to them in the market but the useless people have decided to make Only Multichoice have ultimate Power in Nigeria. That’s why we don’t have other Cable TV companies who will be showing top leagues live matches like DSTV do. Even the TSTV we had hopes on to tackle Multichoice, they’ve been rendered powerless and useless already.

Imagine paying insane amounts for Gotv and DSTV which one wouldn’t even have time to enjoy because of work and the few hours to watch on weekends and after work on weekdays sef, PHCN will still take off Power too. Then after a month, these clowns will suspend the subscription. And I heard this Pay Per View option is available in South Africa their Base and some other African countries ooo. But they don’t wanna provide it here in Nigeria. Bunch of thieves…
Why not provide the link the the DSTV country site where said pay as you go billing exists?? You probably cant because it doesn't exist.

I have personally googles for DSTV SA and like 5 other countries in Eastern and Southern Africa and there is no such thing
