Politics › Re: Nigerians React As Tinubu Informs Buhari Of His Presidential Ambition In 2023 by COMPAQ(m): 10:45am On Jan 11, 2022
While Tinubu can't be as bad as Buhari as President, it's still a shame that only those who seem to be close to death are being considered for President. How Atiku is still in this President conversation baffles me!!
Politics › Re: 2023: Between Goodluck Jonathan And Bola Ahmed Tinubu by COMPAQ(m): 9:51am On Jan 10, 2022
God1000:
This is a hypothetical question, I still don't know if any of them stand a chance of winning 2023 presidential election, but who has more democratic credentials and expertise among these two political juggernauts?

Who will you vote for if they later become Hobson's choice?

Who among them do you think North will support more? Give reasons

Myn44 please do the needful
Not the best options available to Nigeria, but I'd choose Bola Tinubu any day. He has a far better sense of business than Goodluck and that's what we need now to get the economy moving FDI increased and people employed.

Besides Goodluck has been tested before and he failed woefully. What else can he do differently now? He will come there and fail again, despite seeing how he failed now that he's been out of government for a while.
Business › Re: Governor Buni Built 4 Modern Markets With 3,200 Shops In Yobe State (Pictures) by COMPAQ(m): 9:48am On Jan 10, 2022
Arewa1stSon:
Four modern markets with 3,200 shops built by Gov. Mala Buni.

The Yobe modern markets initiated by Gov. Mai Mala Buni in 2019 aimed at creating jobs, improving revenue generation and stabilising economy at large.

The markets are spread across Potiskum, Damaturu, Nguru and Gashua towns respectively.

1. Damaturu modern market ( 800 shops, 28 stores, police station, parking slot, dumping sites, road network, fire fighing unit, admin block, etc)

2. Gashua modern market (800 shops, 28 stores, police station, parking slot, dumping sites, road network, fire fighing unit, admin block, etc)

3. Nguru modern market (800 shops, 28 stores, police station, parking slot, dumping sites, road network, fire fighing unit, admin block, etc)

4. Potiskum modern market ( 800 shops, 28 stores, police station, parking slot, dumping sites, road network, fire fighing unit, admin block, etc)

Simple but very functional design!!

Note sure there is anything like this in Lagos metropolis other than maybe Tejuosho.
We need a bit of modernity in our markets. If rain catches you in Jakande market, it's so disgusting how everywhere turns to roforofo. And most local markets are like that. It's about time we improved our local market experience.

I will warn everyone to stay away from paying for federal job slot for now cuz it won't happen, you won't get any job cuz none is available. Those ones working are about to be sacked using force. I know someone who bought slot, is he yey to receive any salary for about 4 months now. Interview upon interview in Niger state and all that. Too bad
If someone bought slot, what kind of quality work can he be doing to deserve receiving salary. Using one criminality to justify another.

You tried to sound intelligent and enlightened but you didn't quite pull it off. If you think this is about any 5n or no 5n then you are not seeing the bigger picture. Its about the ricochet effect that it will have on the already struggling masses! Same as whatever increment of fuel price they are proposing. Those guys do not know how to manage funds. They are not accountable. What have they done with all the billions that was at their disposal that the next 'solution' to Nigeria's problems lies in this so called 5n they want to impose on soft drinks? Mr white man that has refused to howl, probably if we had been howling sooner, the situation would not have deteriorated so far. A little accountability on what has been done with past revenues so we don't keep pouring our resources in a leaking basket!
So your issue should be with accountability not the tax. They are two distinct issues.

To those fools and stupid people siding with Buhari claiming global increase in fuel price isn't Mr president fault..... Can u compare rate of increment in fuel price in Nigeria to any other countries worldwide since 2015.
When things is not right it's not right. And if u still think it not Buhari fault May God punish una because no b only gas de cost for Nigeria. Infact every dam thing cost drastically.
Dude in July 2020 petrol in Houston US was $1.55per gallon. Then crude prices had fallen to about $20. In late 2021 it went as high as $3.05 (97% increase) due to crude prices hitting $80.

In Nigeria we went from N145 To N125 ba? Then back up to N164, which is 31%increase.

Tpharell:
LPG is not 'manufactured' as you put it, but obtained from processing natural gas by liquefaction and separation. And, lets not be deceived, Nigeria actually exports LPG, while at the same time importing to augment local supply in a manner that defies logic!
Finally, gas price including lpg surged globally in 2021 no doubt, but no one should be decieved into believing that there is nothing the federal government can do to make the product a bit more affordable for Nigerians, especially considering it is a product produced locally.
Dude there is a difference between LPG and LNG, however subtle. We export LNG but not LPG. NLNG plant in Bonny produces some LPG, but insufficient for local demand. The rest is imported. And that imported bit is what has been affected by sharp increase in has prices in 2021. NLNG company in Bonny was never set up to produce LPG. No matter the volume of gas that passes through NLNG, if they never had the capacity for LPG, then so be it.

Nothing Jonathan did was OK by them.
They manipulated and fabricated all manners of lies to pull him down.
Today, the man is celebrated all over the world.
Which nonsense celebrated all over the world. Abeg Park well! Jonathan and his PDP were just as incompetent and corrupt as Buhari and his APC.

The reality is that government has little to do directly with gas prices. As anyone who reads international news will know Europe has a huge gas crisis for most of 2021 and gas prices spiked in Europe significantly.

Since a good portion of our LPG is imported, coupled with deregulation it compounded the price locally. Once winter in Europe passes, the gas prices will trend downwards and that is what you are beginning to see in the price now.

I know times are hard and the high cost of LPG is biting the pocket, but that should not stop us from proper understanding of the dynamics of pricing and making educated and reasoned comments here.
Politics › Re: NLC Rejects New Tax On Carbonate Drinks Says It Will Cause Mass Hunger, Hardship by COMPAQ(m): 2:39pm On Jan 08, 2022
Not sure what the fuss is all about. NLC should go and sit down. The duty is N10 per liter. So for the typical 33cl which most of us drink, that is additional N3.

I don't think additional N3 or even N10 will stop a decision to buy a soft drink. It's not like we all drink a coke every day.

Good idea by the LASG to concession it out. I am a firm believer that government assets such as Airports, Stadiums, National Theater, Parks,etc should be concessioned or fully privatized. Capacity of private sector vs government to manage is like night and day.

Take MM2 and MMIA as an example. MM2 has arguably got better in the time it was built to now cos they have added some new features. The same cannot be same of MMIA that continually looks shabby, overcrowded, dirty and depressing. If I had a choice, I'd prefer to take an international flight from MM2 rather than MMIA.

Back to Glover Hall, Olu Jacobs company can do theatre shows there on some weekend, while on other weekends they can rent out for weddings ( I actually had my wedding reception there like 13 years ago). They should enter into agreements for some multi story carparks in the vicinity for parking arrangements and get police cover when they have activities there cos of area boys and don't be surprised that they will be smiling to the bank.

Education › Re: The Current State Of Toilets In UNICAL Hostels by COMPAQ(m): 3:34pm On Jan 07, 2022
But really, for what we pay as school fees, where does the money to pay people to clean it, provide the cleaning products regularly come from? We are getting the N50k per session education that we pay for. In Nigeria of today, if anyone thinks N50k per student for 12 months can keep a whole University running, then something is wrong upstairs. And many FG universities probably don't charge up to that.


There is no magic to these things. Its costs money that is not there

To prove me wrong, someone should show me toilets from Covenant University that are in similar state

The guys brain has truly lost it. I can now see why he is being easily manipulated by his handlers. The guy has no thinking capacity of his own. He has no specific vision for any sector of the economy and country. He cannot fathom a process of getting anything done.

No doubt about it, Nigeria has wasted 8 years!! No matter how bad Atiku is, he couldn't be as bad as Buhari.

I just hope this is not true at all.. People are already going through worst times,the labour market is already over saturated, inflation everywhere. How will families cope.. More job losses, more hardship.. Buhari government is indeed a curse to most Nigerians.
Tough decision, but the right one! Nigeria's civil service is grossly overstaffed, with many of them doing little to nothing. Technology and computers have made it possible to do with much less people. Can you imagine the number of secretaries still in civil service, when in most private companies secretaries are almost extinct, since you can type by yourself on laptops and send to printer or scan in a jiffy. Too much of government work is paper pushing , file carrying and is not productive and is archaic!!

I feel super irritated whenever I hear the name NNPC. That place is nothing but a fortress of mindless corruption and grand larceny.

If this country is incapable of running a state owned oil corporation as do Russia and the big players in the MidEast, they should scrap the damn thing or privatize it.
To this day, it beats me why privatization hasn't worked with NEPA, NNPC and other such state owned businesses as it did telecoms.

Something is definitely wrong somewhere.
NNPC hadn't been privatised before now, so why wondering why it hadn't worked??

Nepa is a peculiar case because transmission is messed up, energy theft is massive, tariffs are not cost reflective etc.

Only a madman can lead mad men.

Osibanjo is knowledgeable but he is too meek. He will be facing many lions. . Can he bark back and stand his ground. . If he cant'he will not do anything significant.

Let's see how it goes.
You'll be surprised what a man can do when he finally has proper executive power!! It's not about making noise. There is a way a quiet man with executive power will look at you and quietly give you order and you will know that if it's not 100% complied with, he will sack you the following day or remove you from that post straightaway. By the time he does that to a few people, everybody around him will sit up.

Deputy1111:
APC and Nigeria at large should not make mistake come 2023 presidential election. Osinbajo is the right candidate. He has proven himself on several occasions as a competent and capable leader.
The two most important parts of the equation for Osinbajo are Tinubu and Buhari! if both support him, then his chances are very good. I suspect Buhari may support Osinbajo, but if Tinubu really wants to become President, it will be very hard for Osinbajo. For all Buhari's influence as president, at the party level Tinubu in APC is equally as influential in the SW as Buhari is in the North. It would remain to be seen if APC as a party would align behind Osinbajo if Tinubu wants to contest.

The best thing though is for Tinubu to realize that he is too old and already rich enough for President. Tinubu may be more useful enjoying himself and coordinating things from the background. Unfortunately the greed of Nigerian politicians knows no bounds. As rich as Tinubu is, even with private jet, he still wants to enjoy Presidential privileges of jet, Aso rock and free medical care abroad, all of which he can really afford himself.

Pretty good list. It would be good if you could create this as a 250 Top Nigeria Greatest Songs playlistbon Deezer and are the link. I'd certainly listen to such a playlist, but though you may not get all the songs online.

Personally though I'd exclude most of the music from 200 to 250, except for Asa. Most of the PSquare, Burna, Wizzy, Olamide etc music has no meaning except for street Boys. The older generation of music from 200 below, one could distinctly hear the lyrics and appreciate what was being said. Too much of music today is just senseless words for the sake of rhyming.

Manufacturing doesn't need thought or intelligence at the lowest point (which is what they are bringing to Africa). Design thinking will surely remain in China.
From his theory, the average Nigerian will have an underpaying labour intensive job, but for starters it will be a job.
We have a 33.3% unemployment rate and hopefully with many youths employed (sub optimally) they will be able to afford just the basic necessities of life.
I disagree cos what the world manufactures most these days have some form of chips or electronics in it that requires a better brain these days. The days of manufacturing industrial goods are almost over. These days the biggest manufacturing is phones, chips, and so on. Everything has circuitry these days to connect to the internet such as ac, fridge, microwave, freezer, tv, smart speakers, gaming consoles, phones, even bulbs etc. not the dumb products of yesteryear. Not stuff you want to entrust to an idiot to manufacture cos the stakes are high. Besides like I said the choice of manufacturing is beyond labor. Lack of electricity is enough to disqualify Nigeria when compared to Ghana or Ivory Coast.

Even if Naira drops to N4000/$, I will continue to believe in this country because I can see what's coming. The wise are heavily investing in Nigeria while the weak are looking for how to go abroad. The whole world is tired of China, they are looking for cheap labor, Nigeria is the next China. We have the population, the youth and the literacy level to be the next manufacturing power. Plus, several countries that benefited from slavery (U.S, UK, Spain and Portugal) have proposed ways to pay back Africans for all the abuse, exploitations throughout our history. There is a conscious effort to make Africa the next industrial hub. Those lacking foresight won't see this, they only see the now and not the later. Ignore the noise and look for a small factory you can start; In the next 5yrs all the big multinational companies like Amazon, Walmart and co will be pouring billions into our infrastructure just to enable us to manufacture goods for them. So many people will miss this boat, but you are hearing this now, act on it.
I like your enthusiasm, unfortunately it is very much misplaced. Companies want an environment with good infrastructure to manufacture (electricity, ports, transportation network, rule of law, judicial fairness, airports, exchange rate stability etc) and Nigeria has none of these! Also our youth are literate but companies need more than that. They need well educated and we don’t have that unfortunately. A primary 6 person from US, is mentally sharper and more aware than a ss3 student from here, cos our education doesn’t encourage thinking - just cramming and passing exams. No application. There are many countries in Africa that will attract the so called billions from Amazon and co such as Ghana, SA, Rwanda, Morocco, Egypt, Kenya before Nigeria.

Why and how is Julius Berger and CCECC responsible for over 99.9% of all state and federal construction works in Nigeria? This monopoly is insane and is one of the major factors for construction project delays - how do you expect the construction company to deliver projects on time when they're working on a thousand federal roads at the same time?

There are reputable Dutch and Belgian construction giants that would rival the quality of Julius Berger and CCECC for half the money and time - Imagine abandoned road and bridge projects everywhere in Nigeria (especially in Ogun State) because these companies have to shift workers and machinery everywhere

Why the greed?
Are these reputable Dutch and Belgian companies nameless?? How about you name them, so we know which companies you are referring to.

Projects are abandoned everywhere because government does not pay its bills as at when due, not because JB is over stretched.
