mosak: If you are familiar in buying tomato, you will agree with me that January, February and early march are season for tomatoes. You can a big basket of tomato for as low as N5000 during it season but the case is different this year.
A big basket of tomato now cost between N16000-25000. We never even enter it expensive period yet.
Prepare yourself for alternative or stock up because this year, there is likely probability that tomato will be very expensive than other years. you are very right... |

Education › Re: Who Is An Engineer by dawnomike(m): 9:28am On Feb 20, 2022 |
acorntree: Who is an Engineer?
There was this welder on our street, every time Accountant Abeh Terzungwe Samson was passing he would hail him "Engineer!". One day like that, Accountant Terzungwe Abeh and I were going to a barber shop. As usual, he addressed the welder as ENGINEER as we walked pass his workshop. I did not complain still.
When we got to the barber shop, I addressed the girl who was collecting money as ACCOUNTANT. My friend quickly corrected me that the girl is a CASHIER and not an ACCOUNTANT. I said "Orne calm down. I didn't complain you addressed the welder as ENGINEER, so allow me to address this girl as ACCOUNTANT in peace"...
Engineering is arguably the most misunderstood profession in Nigeria. Even those who are well schooled, their education has failed to inoculate them against misunderstanding the engineering profession.
Some years back, I was working on a construction project in Rivers State. We had one Oyibo Engineer from Belgium. We were chatting one day and this man asked me what engineers do in Nigeria. He was hired as an Engineer all the way from Belgium, but when he got here he was not being used as an engineer. So he was confused and needed a me to explain to him the role of an engineer in Nigeria. This is how bad it is.
Nigerians only appreciate the work of people who use tools or operate equipment. They have no regard for brain work. That is why the saying that Nigerian engineers do not know "practical" is very popular in Nigeria.
Somehow Nigerians have acquired the unfortunate belief that anybody who is not seeing operating an equipment, or using one tool (say spanner, trowel, hammer, etc) or the other to perform a task does not know "practical". That is why they say Nigerian engineers only know "theory" without practical.
Come to think of it. I design, say a building, sitting in my office or house. After completing the rigorous design process - during which I even forgot to eat and probably slept late - I produce construction drawings. These drawings serve to instruct the construction process. Yet you say I don't know "practicals" simply because you did not see me wearing an overall dress with boot and a helmet on my head placing concrete, or cutting and bending steel rods, etc.
I use my knowledge of science and maths to generate hydrological data and create a suitable drainage system for Makurdi to halt the incessant flooding of homes. My blue print is used to construct drainage channels and other hydraulic structures to collect, direct and discharge water appropriately. But because you did not see me pouring concrete, you say I do not know "practicals".
I conduct research and find that a locally available material can be used to construct roads at a cheaper cost. My technique is used to construct the road leading to your village. But because you did not see me operating any of the road construction equipment, you say I don't know "practicals".
Dear Nigerians, what is "Practicals"?
But when a doctor sees a patient, prescribes drugs and a nurse administers the drugs on the patient based on the doctor's prescription, nobody accuses the Nigerian doctor of not knowing "practicals" and the nurse is not recognized as doctor. But that is exactly what they do to engineers.
When they are teaching kids about professional careers, they do not show a doctor as someone driving a needle into the butt of a patient. But they show children a picture of a man wearing an overall with a helmet on his head, holding spanners or some other tools and tell them that's an engineer. The kids are asked to repeat so that it will sink. What nonsense!
The job of an engineer in Nigeria is so much taken for granted. But this should be expected in a country where knowledge is not respected and people rely on emotions to speak and take decisions.
I was explaining something to someone who had problem with the outcome of a job I directed. He refused to listen to me saying that he did not study engineering but he as sponsored several construction projects and so he knows something, at least enough to disregard my information that was based on sound scientific principles. I thought he was being stupid but the people around were clapping for him. Yes, because he heads one organization and has access to funds he could dish out to buy drinks for people and also give handouts whenever he came around, the people thought he was making sense and believed him.
But nobody tells a medical doctor to shut up and listen to him because he has acquired some medical knowledge from his regular visits to hospitals.
You have not read a book on a subject but you think you know better than those who have.
But when 'gbege' happens, say building collapse, that is when everybody remembers that a bricklayer is not an engineer.
The other time I did a design for a body. I produced the working drawings and BOQ. They needed the BOQ to source for funds. But when they started the construction, they felt they did not need me, neither did they bother to consult my working drawings. They hired artisans to do the job. As they were about to complete the roof, the building started to collapse. That was when they remembered me. They had concluded among themselves to pull down everything and start a fresh, but decided to hear from us - engineers - first. We came and showed them another way of solving the problem without pulling down anything. I, however, reminded them that the problem would not have occurred if they followed the working drawings I gave them.
That is what engineers do. We create cost-effective solutions to problems. The job of an engineer has nothing to do with brawn, it has everything to with brain. That is why you need to be well verse in science and maths before you can be engineer. Engineering is brain work. If you see someone applying physical strength to do a task using a tool or equipment, such one is either an artisan, an operator or a technician.
#Copied The point you made about "... Engineers not knowing practicals" strikes a chord... I really do understand your point and i had that notion till now that you explicated it. But I really still think an engineer should know a bit of the hands on even if he does not have to work it depending on which field of engineering in question though. Obviously, not a civil engineer |

The body will decay and will not make any contact with the ground. The watery abunna will be there and can't escape to anywhere until one day, there will be an opening and the stench will be "awesome".... Seen this before. Make the grave beurifull but make sure the casket is laid in the ground so as to enhance easy decay, because the body must decay at a point.. I have bever thought of it this way... Nice point you've just made. |

Lostchild: I have change a lot in personality.
The constant brutal attack and persecution of nigeria women has greatly affected me and tempers my heart for children.
Since that very day, I no longer allow people children to come near me. Anytime I see a child, the memory of that events will flash through my mind.
If I seat anywhere and a child plays near me, I just leave the place because I fear their mothers and the painful flashes of that accusation can repeat itself
I completely lost compassion for women with children even though I adore them as wonderful mothers. I no longer feel their pain as I used to.
To be honest, that event badly affected me to this very day. If this your story is true... I can imagine what trauma you must have gone through. I am glad you are alive to share uour story... One must really be careful in this country. I don't ask for directions from women with children neither do I ask from minors. These are perilous times |
Politics › Re: How We Missed It As A Society by dawnomike(m): 6:55am On Feb 20, 2022 |
OneTwoOne: We are not getting it right and it is the fault of the society we live in. How would 17years old not cut off head.. When we have a society that encourages indiscipline, wickedness, inhuman acts and behaviours.
Someone just released a song and from there, fame came, society gave him huge money, made him a celebrity, they gave him car, visa and etc..
What for? Because he sang a song that added no value to the society.. no wisdom, no knowledge, no moral, nothing encouraging..
Maybe I should state some of the WORD of such song below:
Many many were wa nlé répété (Madness at high level full ground)
Babéjé (Destroy the place)
Ika (wicked)
Éjé loju bi t'abacha (Turn your eyes red like the then Abacha)
Runju pa (Frank your face heavily)
Ma r'érin (Don't laugh)
Kala (frown)
Daju (No mercy)
Wuwa ika (Do evil)
Yes!!! Young boys started doing EVIL, having seen how our society Encourages EVIL.
How on Earth can someone said all those word, and the next thing he experienced was fame, cars, money, houses, traveling abroad and etc?
And many, who have added value, disciples, Encouragment, love, motivation, right attitude, passion, devotion and Sacrifice to people are wallowing in poverty.
Our society will rather praise KING OF MARLIAAN FOR SMOKING WEED LIVE ON VIDEO than to praise our esteem
How can evil not prevail.. when evil and bad attitude are more rewarding nowadays than positive impact.
BBNaija gets more contributions of millions from the people, just for promoting immoralities, BUT the best graduating students of Kogi state are to be encouraged with just a cheque of N2000 each.. Not even 5k.. Yet, Gifts of cars, money and etc are being giving to those who can show their naked body on LIVE TV.
Society is not helping the upcoming Generation at all.
Because, we reward INSANITY than SANITY. We reward NONSENSE than encouraging DILIGENCY.
All these are not what our society needs.. they prefer someone who can DO EVIL than someone who do good.
We are all seeing the result everywhere.
Time is now, that we all should start encouraging discipline, patience, endurance and excellence acts, which added advancement to the society.
Let's Encourage the best students
Let's Encourage student who can invent or produce value, in line of technology.
Lets begin to Encourage men of God..
Let's begin to Encourage our school teachers and counsellors
Let wake up to good work
Let us all wake up to HONESTY and INTEGRITY.
Enough of all this EVIL ACTS, being Encouraged by the SOCIALIST of our SOCIETY, thinking it's NORMAL..
Enough!!!

Romance › Re: Can This Be Savaged Or Its The End ? Advice Needed by dawnomike(m): 9:49pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
FloatingSeed: Many will interpret this from different angles and either way, there will still be something to learn from it. Insults too will fly here and there and if it makes me get the thought out of my head, no qualms.
I will concentrate on things I did wrong which I feel is responsible for the present occurrence.
We met 3 months ago online and we started talking . We talked everyday, chat,video, calls name it. She wasn't up for a relationship according to her. Come January, she came down to my side so we can see for the first. For the first time in my live, I felt at ease with someone I was meeting for the first time. No tension, no pretence.
While copying a code I typed on her phone, I checked through her pics. Why I did that I still can't explain it cos it's something I've never done before nor will day. I talked about a pics I saw and she flared up about why I had to check her phone. I apologized and everything was back to normal.
She went back the 4th day and communication was still okay till 2 weeks later when I caught feelings for her. Perhaps my brain was beginning to misinterprete a lot of actions as I feel she's beginning to withdraw . The final straw came when she said we need to talk. Sure we had a high tempo talk which centres on what she feels my friends were doing. You guys get the normal guys whining a lady your guys is speaking with. The normal when are we seeing you again, we are bringing yam stuff ooo.
Like, I'm giving them the impression we are dating while we were not. Right after the talk, in a bid to just end it and get over my emotions I told her I like her and wants to take things further with her. Of course, her guards shot up and she said it again that she's not looking for a relationship and she's not God, .
I know she has trust issues due to heartbreak from her ex and to be candid I blame myself for getting caught in the wind so fast and not allowing the frenship time to evolve naturally.
If I call her we talk normally but that strain of coldness is still hanging. Chat is even worst, no live in it at all. For the firs time in my life, I actually want to give love a chance but it seems I already messed up everything and there is no redemption. How best can I possible savage this. I already anticipate a mix of insults, name calling etc. But then, meaningful advices would still come handy. Give her space before she friend zone you |
