CelebritiesRe: Toolz Shows Concern About Getting Pregnant With Twins In This Recession [PICS] by davidif: 5:35pm On Nov 26, 2016
PatriciaKT:
She's selfish, how hard is it to rise twins for someone like her.
So those who have less than her and God bless them will twins should die abi huh
I hate it when parents of these days say things like "I want to give my child the best"
But they forget that they never had the best but still turned out alright.
Even God doesn't give His children every single thing they ask for.
What's wrong with her waiting for an opportune time to have kids? Gosh! Africans sef. Na wa for una o.

Chai! The way Africans think ehn? In advanced countries a lot of people put off child rearing until they are financially able but in Africa, the line of thinking is just have kids as long as you are married. Whatever happened to family planning?

No wonder some of them get angry at us when our countries come to beg for aid.

OPCNAIRALAND:
As part of civic lessons and awareness, citizens also must understand, moreso now that we have multi-layers and redundancy in uniformed personnels, what each uniformed agency does and so they are not exploited unecessarily by men using uniform to intimidate and extort or commit crimes.
In my honest opinion, Nigeria has waaaaaay too many uniformed personnel. I remember going to the airport and seeing multiple staff with different uniforms and thinking to myself that this is way too much bureaucracy.

OPCNAIRALAND:
Is it possible for my people to understand that not everyone in uniform is mandated to give salute?

Firefighters are a civilian component of civil service and in times of emergency they form a protective brigade to secure life and property against fire, chemical and othe flammables and incendiaries but they are excluded from military or para military corps. As such they are not required to give salutes.
This right here.

I met this guy in 2010 when i went on a visit to see my aunt. It was an on and off relationship though.......during the course of this relationship, he slapped me and there was another time i was hospitalized, he came and left without offering to pay for the bills knowing fully well dat i had spent much on the sickness already..
Recently he called and said he wants to settle down and apologised for his past behaviour saying it was because he has this trust issue with ladies but he said he is trying to change........i said fine, he's even planning to come and see my family in June. But two days ago, i needed to clear the air on something so i asked him via whatsapp that my girlfriend wants to divorce the husband because he slapped her and he condemned the act saying it could lead to battery if proper measure is not taken. I also asked him that my friend's husband left her in d hosptal when she was hospitalized saying she has family so they should pay d bill. He found out that i was referring to him but his reply was that he should have given me two more slaps as prescribed and y would he pay the hospital bill when i was taking advice from my girlfriend....
Pls dear nlanders mature advise pls. Help a confused sister.

PoliticsRe: BAD NEWS!!!! Buhari Orders Major Increase in Price Of Data Plans by davidif: 10:13am On Nov 26, 2016
KingOvoramwen1:
In such a time like this, this news is not good enough for now because the nation is already experiencing recession, implementing this directive will only make life harder for Nigerians. NCC has mandated all GSM Companies to raise data rates beginning from December 1st 2016.




This is sad, NCC believes that this is one of the ways they can generate revenues for the Government. They know that we can’t do without buying data… so they decided to mandate all Telcos to increase their data price… hmm!

Nigerian Government through its agencies should not make life harder for Nigerians! Don’t be surprise that beginning from December 1st 2016, N1000 will only get you 500MB of data. The data you normally get 3GB for N1000 before will be history.

Inshort, all MtN users should call 181 self-help service number to listen to this announcement which will take effect from 1st of December.

This is sad, but we shall overcome

Hello fellow Nairalanders, I'd love to know what you feel you can achieve or do if given an opportunity to be the president of Nigeria just for a day. What will u do? What are the things you'll wish to stop or introduce/encourage in the country. Remember, it's just for a day and you may not achieve all of your plans for the country, so just choose to do those things you feel the country needs and not wants. Over to you, let's know your plan(s) for Nigeria...

Christianity EtcRe: No Wonder Trump Won by davidif:
Chiedu4Trump:
Did you not hear what Obama said?
Is that not clear enough?

What the clips above and see.

Obama is islamic and hates Christians like a true muslims
Oh great! another conspiracy theorist. Talk about taking something out of context and interpreting it to fit your bigoted agenda: confirmation bias at its worst. Trump in that video seems to be doing what demagogues do well and that's pandering. But oh well, i guess nowadays its cool to bash Muslims abi? As if Jesus did not say you should love your neighbor as yourself.
You disciples of Trump don't know what this man has unleashed in this country. The repercussions might take decades to undo.

Confirmation bias, also called confirmatory bias or myside bias, is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses, while giving disproportionately less consideration to alternative possibilities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

Pandering is the act of expressing one's views in accordance with the likes of a group to which one is attempting to appeal. The term is most notably associated with politics. In pandering, the views one is expressing are merely for the purpose of drawing support up to and including votes and do not necessarily reflect one's personal values.

PoliticsRe: Some Hard Facts About Power (electricity) In Nigeria! by davidif: 3:52pm On Nov 25, 2016
omohayek:
No, this is not the way to go - again, if you take this line of thinking to its logical conclusion, it ends with each house having its own generator, which is where we already are. Electricity generation is a business which is heavily capital intensive and has huge advantages of scale: it makes no sense doing it on a local-government level.

The right way to go is to allow private operators to invest in their own independent power distribution networks as they see fit, and to give them the freedom to set their own prices as they please. The only restrictions would be generally applicable technical ones, e.g. that the power delivered at retail be 220V AC, etc. If some private operators wanted to feed into/from other operators' networks, that would be up to them to determine if it made financial sense. Only a setup like this will make it financially worthwhile for private companies to pour in the billions of dollars of investment needed to give Nigeria a properly functioning power sector.
What I meant was that each local govt should find a way to provide electricity to its citizenry. They can reach an agreement with an energy provider and contract it out to them.
They can use whatever natural resources they have to generate electricity. For example, if you live in the Niger Delta then you can build a power plant that uses natural gas if you live in coal country then they can award a contract to a company to build a coal powered generating plant.

Having a stingy boyfriend is the height of it, some are so stingy dat to even get their saliva is wahala..
You know what annoys me the most about such men? Some of them will get themselves everything they want no matter the cost, make sure they look good on the outside, while they don’t give a rat’s nest what happens to their gf.
They just don't care about your needs even if u tell dem.. After all it's not my needs.. So wat?
We are not saying give us everything u have.. Bt show affection and care by sharing a little with us. It's not just about gbenshing Abeg


Abeg, what does one do with a stingy bf? Hiaahn!! Y r we even dating if u can't share or gimme anything? I dislike guys like that.
Dealing with such guys isn't even funny.. Especially wen u knw he has alot in his hands.

If you can’t handle a stingy guy in relationship, you won’t be able to handle him in marriage. So make the right choice! Walk out of his sorry Asss!!!!!

Are you a stingy guy?
Can a guy be deliberately stingy to a lady??
Have u dated a stingy guy before ?
How do u deal with it !?

OP, didn't you say you spent 150K on house rent? Let me quote you. "I Rented a three bedroom apartment in Akesan, along Lasu/isherri rd in alimosho LGA of Lagos just barely three yrs ago at 150k per annum". huhhuh huh huh? OP!! I'm confused! You can afford to spend 500k on a stranger but you grumble about paying 150K for your yearly rent? I don't know how much that is in ££ but I'm sure it's more than three times the amount you spent on a stranger in one day.

Now here's my advice/info. RICH folks don't sweat the small stuff. "Gingantic" mansions and vehicles are part of their everyday lives and thus, there is no need to brag about it. It's not even worth mentioning especially on NL. Rich people don't brag about their riches to strangers on a forum or heck, at all. So please go and pay Mama Sade for the money you truss for the garri Palmoil and kerosine... You don't want her to disgrace you.

1) Poor Grammar. Bad spelling and poor grammar are the biggest turnoffs for women when it come to texting the opposite sex. This is mostly because, making so much spell errors shows a lack of effort. That ultimately, is something which turns most women off, whether it's your English or your personal hygiene. grin
Wait what?!?! poor grammar? Wow! I am sorry but if i like you and you text me back the last i would be concerned about is whether you forgot to punctuate your sentence or your grammatical structure. I guess if you don't truly like someone you would look for an excuse not to be with them.

#FACT

Do you know that Aso Rock and the 36 States government houses are powered daily by generators?
Do you know that Federal and State Secretariats nationwide are powered daily by generators?
Do you know that all National and State events in Nigeria are powered by generators?
Do you that ninety per cent of churches in Nigeria run their services with generators?
Do you know that the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company power their office with generator?
Do you know that Nigerians use more petrol on generators than cars?
Do you know that Nigerians spend N3.5 trillion on fuelling their gen­erators annually?
Do you know that the Nigerian manu­facturing sector spends over N800billion yearly on genera­tors while Small and Medium Scale Enterprises, banks, other corporate entities and traders across the country spend over N2 trillion to run generators?
Do you know that Airports in Nigeria spend about N100million to power its facilities on genera­tors?
Do you know that Nigeria currently supplies 300megawatts to Togo, Benin and Niger Republic?
Do you know that Ghana receives in excess of 140 million standard cubic feet per day of gas from Nigeria?

The rough business climate has forced many companies to close shops, while the sur­viving ones are retrenching workers daily.
Recently, the Organised La­bour raised an alarm that the food, beverage and tobacco sector of the nation was on the verge of shutting down and that over three million jobs were at risk due to the inability of companies to meet the crip­pling cost of production.
Already, leading compa­nies in the sector such as Ni­gerian Flour Mills, Nigerian Breweries, Guinness, Nige­rian Bottling Company, 7-UP Bottling Company, Friesland Campina Wamco, among oth­ers, have written to labour for discussions on planned sack of workers.
The companies listed their challenges to include acute forex shortage, poor power supply from the generation and distribution companies, scarce and costly fuel to run their generators, among oth­ers.
Investigation has revealed that in the last three months, no fewer than 1,500 workers had been sacked in the food and beverage sector as em­ployers seek ways of coping with strangulating operational costs with over three million other jobs un­der threat.

Nigeria, oh my Nigeria!!

Which way Naija?
Well the way to go is to completely decentralize energy production and distribution. Let each local govt build there own power plant and provide electricity to there denizens. If a local govt can't afford to build one then let it join with other surrounding local govts to build there own plant.
If the communities still can't afford to do this then they should find a way to give people solar panels for there individual homes that way everyone has electricity even if they are not on the grid.

This centralized model we have been practicing for decades where electricity is generated and distributed by the fed govt to the rest of the country (NEPA) is obsolete. It might have worked back in the day when the population was small but using this same model in a country that's over an estimated 180 million is just bad policy.

I want to state it very clear that no man can know a lady he can marry, from first glance! It is when you have met a person discussed with the person that you can conclude if he or she has those latent qualities you need in a future wife or husband. It is only looks that can interest you from first glance! Many times, one has to date a person for a while before you know if you two are compatible or not! So it's very possible to date someone you don't end up marrying. Not every relationship end in marriage! As for deliberate chop and clean mouth, I don't support that at all!
