Sports / Re: Which Of This Ex-super Eagles Players Deserved A CAF Footballer Of The Yr Award by COMPAQ(m): 2:37pm On Dec 13, 2023
AmazingELixir:
Op where is Finidi George in that list.....Finidi achieved far more than any of them in that list.

Man was a celebrated star in Ajax Amsterdam with several league trophies and Champions league to cap things up, left for Betis in Spain and continued his onslaught, a CAF nations cup winner etc.

Finidi should be in that list ....what is super eagles and Ajax without their number 7 in his playing days.

I agree. I'd rate Finidi above Amokachi. When Finidi was hot, he was rated as the best No7 in the world.

Please, what is the alternative to flight tickets?

Abi na bus from Abuja to Anambra?

Now, when the big business man and woman pay 100% increment on basic services, it will affect their powers of paying their own workers.

Now, this is the case in Nigeria since may 2023.the federal government has increased prices of all goods and services by 300% in just 2/4 of a single business Yr and they have not paid 1kobo as bailout to any body.

May all u do to Nigeria happen u and ur generation



Like it or nor, land transport is still an option. And if for any reason its not an option for you, then you stay in your location. Millions of people still travel inter city by road everyday. For them, going by air is not even an option and they haven't died. Same way some people will never get on a plane in their lifetime and it doesn't mean they wont live good lives.

Who said we aren't importing? If we don't make the product in Nigeria and we still find it in our shops, isn't it obvious that it was still imported?

Lol 2027 is kind of far. So this stuff really take alot of time to construct. Red line to begin second quarter of next year, ok lets just say b4 2024 ends redline should start operation.
I think the best thing Lagos need to do in the nearest future is kick start multiple rail project at a go. So person go fit enjoy easy movement around the state, its possible if the state IGR is triple of what we have now.

Multiple rail projects at a go is big money. Are you ready to pay more taxes?

Politics / Re: Passport Front Offices To Open Across UK By February 2024 – Interior Minister by COMPAQ(m): 7:59am On Nov 30, 2023

https://www.channelstv.com/2023/11/28/passport-front-offices-to-open-across-uk-february-2024-minister/amp/

The issue is why should folks have to travel in the first place. Why can't DHL be used to move the passports to the front office and then back again to the applicant. Particularly for renewal, where the government already has your details. UK is even ok as its a relatively small country.

This is needed more in US, where folks have to travel 5hrs flight from California to Atlanta, just to get their passport renewed.

At a point I had to drive 12 hours from Houston to Atlanta to do the same. It was a smooth ride all through no doubt, because of spotless roads, but still not something I want to have to do!!!

Absolutely correct!! Most of the ladies I know who are always putting up thirsty photos on their Whatsapp status attend that church. And they are always wearing heavy jewelry, even with their white garment.

Seems the church doesn't preach morals and allows their members to do what they like.

https://thenationonlineng.net/tinubu-orders-massive-fixing-of-fed-roads/

I would prefer that these roads be concessioned. Fashola was working on the Highway Development Management Initiative (HDMI), where like 12 highways would be handed over to the private sector for refurbishment, tolling and maintenance.

Our problem is maintenance. Even the Lagos Ibadan expressway that has just been done, I can bet you that that in 5 years it would have started falling apart due to lack of maintenance and economic activity on the side of the road.

Politics / Re: Process To Designate Anambra As NDDC Oil-Producing State Begins At Senate by COMPAQ(m): 5:35am On Nov 28, 2023
Billionairly:


I hope you understand that the reason for the low production is that oil is barely been drilled. If you are trying to mock igbo people hope you know there are massive on shore oil drilling going on in the following igbo communities, Etche in Rvers. Ahoada in Rivers. Parts of Ndoki people in Delta state and other parts of Anioma in Delta state. Again the reason for the low production in the SE is federal government is granting less licences more bottlenecks and the communities where the oil is found in the SE, the indigenes are refusing and creating quite a lor of bottle necks.

The Oil Out put in the SE is barely being touched. Do your own research and find out my friend.

Since when did Rivers and Delta belong to SE. No be SS?? Some parts of those states being igbo speaking not withstanding, they are not igbo states.

"A delta is an area where a river splits and spreads out into several branches before entering the sea"

The Niger spread enter Anambra, same as she spread enter Delta State. In fact the Niger is the boundary between Anambra and Delta. So, why do you want to include Delta State and not include Anambra?

Go and look at a map of the delta of the River Niger and ask yourself again if Anambra follow? And answer honestly!! Delta state has a coastline, that is impacted by the delta of River Niger. Meanwhile Anambra state sits above Bayelsa and Imo.

Being an oil producing state in itself is not a requirement to be in the NDDC, as Anambra state is not part of the Niger Delta.

Main reason for NDDC existing is because the Niger Delta states had very poor infrastructure due to the difficult terrain, which makes it diffcult to construct, despite contributing a lions share of the countries wealth.

However Anambra state doesn't have that problem because most of the state, if not all of the state, is outside the delta area of the River Niger. So here is really no issue with difficulty in construction there.

This thing is just for photo ops or content, there's no intercourse going on as those photos would have you believe, y'all talking like you've never had sex before... Sex inside swimming is impossible or very painful at best.
For sexual intercourse to take place, lubrication is essential, now water is not a lubricant, matter of fact water will wash away any available natural lubricant making the sex nigh impossible or extremely dry undecided

Finally someone with a brain! Cos I don't know how the OP and so many other posts jumps to the conclusion that sex is happening from those pictures!

Ferdinandu:
I've had to pay for traffic offence upto 20 times and it is only once I knew that money went to govt purse and it was because I refused to pay the money the officer asked me to pay or I had to go the normal process and spend more, I chose the later. So more than 90% of traffic fines goes into the officers pockets

If it goes to the officers, then in all likelihood you haven't paid the fine, but a bribe, cos it will have been negotiated lower. Eg if the official fine is N20k and you paid N5k, you've paid a bribe, not a fine.

If the official fine is N20k and you paid N20k to the police officer on the spot, then you might as well have paid to the official channel, cos what was the point of paying the police guy cash, knowing fully well it enters his pocket and you save nothing - except maybe time and convenience. But it that's the case then you are part of the problem in Nigeria.

Blakjewelry:
I think Nigeria needs a lot of fishing trawlers, I don't see reason why we should be importing fish.

We import fish because Nigerians like easy business. That's why we don't make anything! We like to trade rather than manufacture. Trading is relatively easy and stress free. Just buy, import and sell.

Also Nigerians don't typically dabble in businesses that require a lot of hands on management, discipline, and more operational expertise to manage inventory, cash flow, working capital etc

That why when we have small money we open hotel, barbing salon, build house for rent, sell cars etc

But most of the fine dining restaurants in Lagos are owned and operated by Lebanese.
