Girls don't send nudes to people they don't trust. I believe that should answer your question

Hook up and runs girls will share with any prospect.

habsydiamond:
No good girl will ever send her naked pix to u... a girl brought up in a good home will know that the human body is sacred and should be shared publicly except with one person ur husband or ur doctor for any treatment in that region or child bearing.

That's an unnecessary generalization. Like a few people have said, girls can sometimes love body and soul, especially if it's early in life like in 200level of university or so. And at that age they might do such.

It's also a bit myopic that the guys expect it to be okay to be sexually active and expect the girls to be virgins. Who then are all the guys sleeping with!? It's fine that a guy of 25 had slept with 30 girls, but if a 25 year old girl has had 3 boyfriend through university that she was serious with and slept with, she's considered loose, like this one saying the human body is sacred!! It's not sacred for the boys abi!?
Rubbish!

This is the real function of FRSC
HOW do we assess their effectiveness?
Instead they are looking for how to carry firearms

Exactly my point. They should be on patrol ith speed guns to measure speed and anyone caught will be chased down, booked and pay a fine on the spot. Thank God for ATM cards and internet banking. No one can say he has to go to bank to withdraw money to pay fine. Just log onto the FRSC fines portal and pay your fine. Very simple solution. But is usual no one in government is thinking.

WannaHowzit:
It's complex. In SA you usually call the ambulance and police, especially when you don't know what happened. It's a criminal matter. They'll come and do forensics on the crime scene and attend to the injured.

See how South Africa police is sophisticated enough to properly cordon of the area. And see how South African citizens are sensible enough to not crowded the place.


If it had been in Nigeria....

In reality, we are not as educated and knowledgeable and sophisticated as we like to believe.

When you go abroad and see how people behave while driving alone,respect for other vehicles, people go at intersections as they arrived there and no one tries to go ahead of the other. That's when you realize we are all just mad in Nigeria.

All of the mention above doesn't stop Tesla from mining and processing lithium locally same way it didn't stop them from selling their starlink in Nigeria

Despite all your mention Nigeria is the biggest partner to the US in the whole of Africa same with it friends in all other continents this warranting freedom for any of it companies to invest here at their calculated own risk.

The only reason why Nigeria is the largest trading partner in Africa for many western countries is oil. Take oil out and you will see that the western world doesn't do a lot in Nigeria compared to other African countries. The size of oil masks a lot of indices.

P&G invested a huge amount of money in Nigeria like 5 years ago to produce diapers and pads. Due to frustration from Nigerian agencies they shut it down in like 3 years and took a hit on their books. The list of companies who have shut down in Nigeria in 20 years is far more than those that have come in. Let me list some of those who have exited for you

Michelin
Dunlop
Bata
Lennards
ShopRite
Exide battery
PEP
Woolworths
Game
And many more I can't remember

They have been better help to Nigeria than the Americans

An American company called Tesla was supposed to be the one to be given the license to mine.. guess what ..they were only interested in taking the resources and not building the factory to process it..

Here you have a Chinese company willing to mine and process locally yet you no know trust them..

Nigerians are confused

Most American companies will struggle to do business in Nigeria because of the restrictions their governments put in for how they conduct business in fantastically corrupt countries like Nigeria.

The Chinese on the other hand have no issues with settling. Reality is even me as a Nigerian I will struggle to choose Nigeria over Rwanda,SA, Namibia,Botswana etc for a plant. Nigeria issues are just too many. Let me lost them for your:

Massive bureaucracy.
Inefficient ports
Corrupt police
Bad roads
Organized crime
Incompetent government
Policy flip flop
Poor workforce
Low productivity
And many more

ShaqFu:
This is beyond awesome. Nigeria is truly blessed. Let's hope we won't waste this resource like we are wasting crude oil.

Of course we will! It's what we do in this country! To get someone with brains into government is an impossibility because the mob that vote people like Tinubu, Buhari and Atiku are in the majority, and democracy and elections is simply a game of numbers right?

https://leadership.ng/lithium-is-the-new-oil-govt-must-control-its-exploitation-malami/

It's only to be setting up funds and agencies that they know!! Why not just set up a Lithium desk or department in the Ministry of Solid Mines!?

Why must everything be a fund or agency??

SmartPolician:
Nigerian telcos are really trying to keep us at par with the rest of the world.

I hope they know how much 5G-enabled smartphones cost though.

4G is good. I don't know why the world is in a hurry to get into 5G.

I wonder myself. Even in America 5G is overrated. I saw a report that 4G is even giving more consistently fast speeds than 5G as the full rollout won't be completed till like 2025. So what's the fuss about!

Kobonaire234:
At 300 naira it is even still cheaper than all our African brethren except Algeria and Angola.

Also, seems apc has admitted in essence that 40 naira petrol was a lie.

Only fools ever believed that!

Lazy governor's!! All looking for how they can be declared oil producing state so that they can sit back, do nothing and just spend money.

Igboslayer:
Interesting development, but eyes only cannot tell the true age of some people oooo

What Igbos and OBI people won’t tell you about OBI. He gave them laptops and crease their tuition fee to collect the money back hundred folds.

Many of them that passed Waec that year are all drop out selling Okrika and gala in Lagos traffic because they couldn’t afford to pay for university education because OBI increased their school fee by almost 200%.

Igbos won’t tell you that Awka is the worst state capital in Nigeria. Under OBI, he never develop their road network, even though Anambra is the second smallest state in Nigeria.

You better go and strategize for more income. Be there expecting school fees to remain the same as 10years ago after 3 huge devaluation and 15% inflation per year. Yet you also expect quality education.

Bubu4Sea:
Second Niger Bridge was budgeted to be N117billion, with train tracks on both sides of the bridge but Buhari cancelled it and reawarded the contract for N400billion without train tracks, then added toll gate.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fa00DjlXkAE_0Ni.jpg

Yet Benue Bridge that is longer than Second Niger Bridge has no toll gate

Probably due to naira devaluation with the passage of time. If GEJ had been sincere and actually executed the contract at the initial award,maybe we would have completed it for about N150bln.

It's shocking that Nigerians do not think critically enough. A 3 year delay in execution can have drastic impact on contract values. Recall that naira devalued from 200 to 365 like 9 months after Buhari took over, due to crash in crude oil prices. Also steel prices could have doubled in that time depending on the economic cycle in the West. During economic boom, commodities such as aluminium, iron ore, steel etc escalate in price due to high levels of economic activity globally. Not to mention what cement prices had increased to by then.

You should go do a course in project management.

160km\hr Houston to Atlanta

Not a single pothole on almost 1600km of expressway. That's like driving Lagos to Kaduna I guess. Took 11.5 hours with zero traffic hold up.

omonnakoda:
We know it has been there for decades. Your point?

Point is,if that road expansion is completed it also helps. If I were to be going to Ibadan, Ijebu or east from Lekki ideally I should be going that way. But you try it and see!! The whole Sangotedo,Ogombo axis is a nightmare. A government that cannot execute that, the regional road or the rail line in good time is trying to execute a complex bridge over water!?

The money may have been better spent completing the aforementioned projects and doing the version of the blue and red rail to serve Lekki, onwards to FTZ ,which I think is either the green or yellow line.

omonnakoda:
. Are you from Lagos State?
I do not think so.otherwise you won't write this rubbish
Have you ever been to Baiyeku?
So the people of Ikorodu are not people?Their benefit does not count?
Lagos is a lagoon state . The bridge will benefit Ikorodu.Sagamu and others
Many of you come to our state from wherever you come and start spouting stupidity about how we should run OUR state.
Once the Lekki FTZ takes off there will be a need for several alternative routes out of Lekki
Unlike the other major bridges this one is not from Lagos Island and it demonstrates the possibilities of other bridges e.g Egbin to Ikorodu as well as possibilities of more marinas and waterfront development in Ikorodu

Calm down. I live in Ologolo, Lekki. There is an existing route from Eleko junction to Epe and ijebu ode junction. From there you can go left on Benin shagamu expressway to join Lagos Ibadan expressway or go right towards Ore, Benin and the east. Case closed!

I will suggest Portharcourt. Its almost like Lagos, it has vibes...

Ph isn't very safe.

You better don't mind them, my fellow countrymen that will rather buy common Bluetooth speaker on international market instead of patronising the nearest gadgets store

If not for all this policies, we'll be exchanging a dollar to #2000 by now....I don't want to talk much

Didn't the gadget store also buy from abroad? If I know I am travelling and can buybit myself for $100 why should I buy it locally for $250 equivalent?

That why I pity those who sell stuff locally. People why actually have the money to buy them buy it themselves either when traveling or when colleagues and friends are travelling. That's why you go to gadget shops and see the sames thing on their shelves for months .

Only electronic I have bought locally in like 10 years is a TV, washing machine etc as those can't be brought into the country easily. But smaller stuff like phones, speakers, earbuds, Chromecast etc are all when I travel.

yomexp:
Why good things dey always vex una why y y y y.....!

It's not a matter of vex. It's a matter of critical thinking. Where is the traffic analysis that was done on vehicles on third mainland to see where they end up?

You should now by now that Nigerian government likes to throw money at issues without critical thinking and proper analysis. It's only in Nigeria you hear gas power plants were built without proper analysis of where the gas will come from. Just because they hear that Nigeria has more gas than oil they went to build them, forgetting you need to drill gas wells, build gas processing plants and pipelines to deliver the gas and all these cost money. As if the gas were just sitting somewhere waiting to be used to generate electricity!

donbrowser:
Marina just got a rail...

The blue rail is from festac to Marina. Does it really help third mainland? Maybe a little bit. But On a good day if I were driving to Marina from festac, I would go through orile to contain and then eko bridge to Marina.

The red line may help third mainland traffic more than blue line when eventually finished.

9jaRealist:
So you’re saying that taking all those highlighted folks away from the TMB “will not reduce any congestion” on TMB?!
>

How often are they traveling compared to those who go to work or market everyday? The make up like 5% of the volume

This bridge is overrated and will not reduce any congestion on third mainland bridge. 95% of the daily traffic on third mainland are those going to work in Marina and vi or markets on Lagos Island. The only people it might help are those in Lekki around Chevron, vgc, badore, ajah etc who are going to Ibadan. So for those, instead of going to the Lekki corridor to vi,ikoyi and on to third mainland, they can take the new bridge. But if I'm living in Lekki ph1 or oniru, I might as well take third mainland.

Most of these are in the North. Typical abokis. That's all they know how to do. Create new agencies and fill it with their quarter educated people. Na abokis full public sector, yet they are nowhere to be found in private sector.

ahiboilandgas:
Almost all workers are complaining in the UK and everbody is on strike on wage issue from trainr drivers to ambulance to teachers to nurses to university on strike They are complaining of poor pay debt and leaving the job . But Nigerians that are well paid are also leaving on student visa to join the strike in the .UK or cannot see the cost of living crisis in the UK . Is there something else

Many Nigerians are on poorer pay here that cannot deliver the quality of life they want.

Inflation and high cost of living is an issue pretty much everywhere right now, but the UK own is worse due to highly inflated energy prices this winter that is making it like 3 to 4 times more expensive to heat homes this winter. imagine earning £2500 a month and your gas bill goes from £120 to £480. Wettin remain to live on.

However higher paid professionals like doctors, finance guys, tech people etc will still find it easier to cope than teachers, taxi drivers,brain drivers etc.

Besides, a lot of Nigerians are going to school, so maybe it's not so bad for them.

KaptainAfrika:
You can wake up one morning, put a call to your driver's wife and tell her you will take care of her, you prove this by sending her 500,000.00 Naira. You satiate your lust with her, and she gets pregnant as a result. This is where you rich privilege in Nigeria kicks in - you won't pay child-support for life, everyone will blame the woman and your wife won't divorce you.
You read your wife's IG Post swearing for homewreckers and declaring how much your love for each other is very much strong while her tailor comes out of the shower and joins you in bed in the hotel you booked for your tryst.
Note: Don't try it in the West, you will be so bankrupt ehn!

Very shallow!

Gerrard59:
While discussing with some buddies yesterday, we touched on the topic “moving back to Nigeria”. I argued that Nigeria is not safe. Sure, there are places that are pretty “safe”. However, my notion of safety is when other people elsewhere can go about their normal activities without fear. For instance, I don’t consider a place safe if one part of the area keeps suffering repeated attacks from Fulani herdsmen (like Southern Kaduna and Plateau). I don’t have to be the affected party, but others who go about their normal activities should feel safe doing them. The other guy countered that, with money, one could enjoy Nigeria. “Live in Maitama, run Lister generator and live quietly.” Also, you get to be in a place where almost everyone looks like you.

Upon hearing “…with money, one can enjoy Nigeria”, I asked him to list five things/ways one can enjoy Nigeria as long as the person has money. Surprisingly, he could not mention one thing/way. I thought it wise to throw it to the house, especially for those who are anti-Japa or those who have stayed abroad for a long time and currently reside in Nigeria.

As someone with money, what exactly does the person enjoy in Nigeria? What are the differences compared to his/her counterpart in say, Namibia or Canada/UK that also has money? How do you enjoy Nigeria provided the money is available?

P.S. I understand that the notion of “enjoyment” is largely subjective. Some enjoy going to parties, while others enjoy travelling around or even reading a book while in a park. But I believe there are some universal notions of enjoyment.

Good question. Even as a relatively comfortable or rich person, quality of life in Nigeria is still pretty low. Security remains an issue and being very comfortable could make you a target, traffic is still a frustration especially if you are in Lagos, electricity is still not 24\7 without generator or inverter, everywhere still looks like slum, filth everywhere etc.

Let's hope the price will be cheaper than that of brt and they won't give flimsy excuses just because they want to increase the price like they did with brt.

What is important is that the fare is able to cover operational costs so that the train doesn't fall apart

JOemmy:
I don't even think obi will continue with it he will rather prefer to use the money to link lagos to east that makes more economics sense.

This argument for the Lagos to East railway is mainly on sentiment. In reality it does not make as much economic sense. Trains are viable and profitable for goods,not passengers. Igbo people,even as often as they go home cannot make it viable. Since there are ports in Warri,PH, Uyo and Calabar, why must my goods come to Lagos port, then I use Lagos PH rail to take my goods to Aba, when they should be going to PH or Calabar port directly.

The rail is more important to head inland,not along the coast.

335m is this April fool or something?

This car costs $160,500 to purchase. let's say you spent $100,000 clearing and shipping it, and a whooping $70,000 as profit, making it a total of $330,500 which is approximately N192,000,000. So where is the 335m coming from

You're worst than Buhari

Guy, dollar is 800 o, not 580
