We are talking about the tithe here there's a difference between deciding to pay individuals or bringing it to the church.
That's what i'm saying.

Jesus only talked about helping your poor and needy neighbors, but never mentioned tithing not even once.
What do you think of Matthew 25:36-46.
It's OK to give to your Pastors to advance the ministry of God, but if you're doing so, ignoring the people who might need it more or the less privileged whose life depends on it, you no doubt belong to the group on the left side.

Awon set Otoge. 😂.

I think this should continue if it will eventually lead to disintegration.

Stephench:

Who's talking about living large? They live in houses that has things that only big men can afford in Nigeria and eat whatever they want and pay rent, pay bills and still have a few hundreds left each month. I live in Europe bro though I don't do menial jobs cos I'm a software engineer

We are saying the same thing. Paying a quarter of €1k monthly as rent would get you same big man experience in Nigeria, most certainly even more comfortable.
I've lived in the Baltic, 2k monthly is still below average in most European countries.

Stephench:

Did you read what I wrote. The only thing expensive in Europe is rent. If you have 1000 you can rent a 3 bedroom house. If you're 3, you pay less than 400. Bills are average of 100 - 200 if you rent such apartment. 100 or 200 is sufficient for feeding

Even in Portugal with one of the lowest wages and cost of living in Europe, €2k is not enough to live large.

Is not news.

From one problem to another. Una sure Tinubu na human being or one of d fallen aliens? Bcs bros Tinubu cum resemble person wey d gods and human beings reject, curse just dey follow am

You have no purpose in life than attacking Tinubu online. Zamfara state government banned motorcycles, it's still Tinubu's fault.

The government had to do what it deemd right to curtail insecurity.

goslowgoslow:

Have you forgotten that the chief judge of the state and the federation are still under the the governor and the president respectively? They pay their bills.

That too has to change. At least make them more independent and reduce executive influences to the barest minimum. They have a governing body. If things are right, the judiciary has not business depending so much on the executive. That's why we see that these guys can't even do their jobs until they get a bodge from the executive arm.

As long as it's not a secret cult, I don't see how this is a problem.

Boldideas:


Hmm.... aah.. Do you know the value of N700 of that time? That 700box was a lot of money bro!!! A Honda accord brand new was sold for N5,000 in 1982. A cartoon of peak milk liquid was N18.00

New Peugeot 504 is a lot cheaper than that. My Dad was the Chief Architect of my state in 1978. His salary wasn't up to 15k monthly.
It's useless comparing then and now.

If you read my post well, you will see that the question you asked, was the same thing I asked the guy and the reply he gave. I even added another example using price of fuel.


To answer your question plainly, waiting to buy at the new price means you get less inventory as all your profit from the old stock has been eroded. Person may even go out of business.

Using your bag of rice example, assuming the inventory is 10 bags, he buys at 28k, sells at 30 and makes profit of 2k per bag.

Thats 20k profit for all 10. Inventory cost is 280k.

If price of rice is now 70k for one, and he waits to buy at that rate, he can only restock 4 bags (no longer 10) from the 280k..and the process goes until he is out of business.

That's why it's better they change the shelf price. It's criminal to put a price tag on an item on the shelf and quote an higher one on the counter. If they're too lazy to change the tag according to the prevailing market price, then they should sell at the old price.

alt3r3g0:


To be fair, the rate at which prices are changing daily, its hard to keep up with updating tags for every single product on the shelf.

When something similar happend some years back, I asked the seller if he already had profit at the old price. Why add price increase for something that was bought at old rate?

He then explained to me that where will the additional fund come for him to restock?

Similar to when Tinubu said subsidy is gone speech and prices jumped up before he dropped mic.

A tanker of 33000 litres at 3.3m to restock @ 100naira/litre, turned to close to 20m to restock. Anyone who does not have that is out of business.

See the mentality of an average Nigerian and you wonder why we have bad leaders?
So if selling a bag of rice yesterday at 30k is profitable and people prices in the market has changed, why not wait till you restock and put the right price tag on the goods instead of changing the price while the tag on the shelf is lower?
Must you sell it for 70k up from 30k even though doing that amount to selling more than 100% of the cost?

I won't be surprised if Al-jazeerah knew about this. They're literally the propaganda machine for Hamas.

No, police is under the executive branch. Everything law enforcement from the cia, fbi to the police, they are executive branch.

The inec is federal in Nigeria but states in the US. Nigeria is over centralized and that's why it will never work.

And because we are different indigenous nations, that's why the UK system we had worked and still the best for us. In UK every region does its own thing and does not really put all its attention on London.

Department of Justice controls the FBI and DEA, etc. The executive doesn't directly control the FBI, same way the governors don't directly control state police.
I've always spoken in support of regionalism. That's the last thing worked for Nigeria. We should go back to it to salvage the situation before it's too late. But we know some are threatened by the mere mention of this and you'll wonder how they're faring under this current arrangement.

greenermodels:
What astonishes me is that you find a security checkpoint every half a kilometre in the east with security personnel extorting motorists and private citizens while there's little presence of these security forces on northern roads and communities,why can't they deploy all these security operatives and their armoured vehicles to the north where they're needed,the militarization of the southeast is totally unjustified.

It's the same thing in the North, don't get it twisted. It's just eye service.

ycat:
Police is always under the executive arm with an independent commission. Governors can't tell police what to do, they are not part of the cabinets. Having law enforcement under judiciary is suicidal to the criminal justice system, only a full fledge police state does that.

Police in the US is under department of justice, no?
You can ahead to cite an example of a full fledge police state that has it's police department under the judiciary. It even sounds contradictory to me.

You talk about independent commission like state electoral body that conducts sham local government elections right?

goslowgoslow:

You are calling people idiots because of their stance or opinions aren't you an idiot yourself?
Have you weighed the disadvantage of state police in a country like Nigeria where police brutality is rampant? Not to talk of other atrocities they commit?...
You are here insulting without any reasonable points.

Everything has disadvantages. Since this system of policing has proven to be ineffective. Is it bad to try state policing? They won't necessarily be controlled by the governor.
I'm a supporter of state policing and I've always maintained that to strengthen our judicial system, the police boss, in the state and federal should report directly to chief justice of the state, that of the federation respectively, not the governors or the President. It will also hasten the judicial process. The same body giving judgement should be the one enforcing it. It will curb executive rascality.
When they're ready to forward the bill, everyone will have the opportunity to give their inputs. We can't continue like this because of the fear of the unknown.

You people should rest. Igbo people could easily have borrowed the word from Bini people and vice versa. Unless anyone can tell us the meaning of the word syllable by syllable (a, za), it's very hard to tell who owns it, but in my opinion, it sounds Edoid than Igboid. That's my opinion.
With many centuries of contacts with each other, we are bound to have similar words. I personally believe most of these ethnic groups were part of a larger group.
Till tomorrow, the word for hand/arm in my Yoruba dialect means and is pronounced same way as it is in Igbo.
Hausa word for matches is "ashana" which only makes sense in Yoruba.

Does anybody have any idea how much we still have left in that reserve or it's empty now?

He's not serious. I like Lesbs. They are s*xually crazy. Na only gays I can't stand.

abhosts:


You paid hacks talk as if Nigeria was founded under APC. Are you aware that Presidents that oversaw booming economic periods like Obasanjo and Yar'Adua were also under pressure to devalue the Naira and remove subsidy? Yar'Adua refused outright while Obasanjo only adopted a gradual and staggered approach to remove fuel subsidy. Why was Tinubu so eager to devalue the official Naira rate by 220 percent and remove subsidy at the same time if he is not evil incarnate? No problem. Since you are doing the work of satan by calling evil good and cool, explain to hungry Nigerians that their suffering is in their best interest.

There was an urgent need for successive government to diversify our economy. I'm a trained economist and topics like subsidy, diversification formed the basis of our discussions in class.
That was how our government was spending recklessly during the oil boom instead of investing in infrastructures like power generation, public transportation, education and research and technology. Here we are today. All roads are bad, we're still stuck with the electricity capacity we had 40 years ago.
It's a known fact that subsidy costs money and in Nigeria, with corruption ravaging every sector, it's even worse. During Obj tenure, I know fuel price were increased a couple of times. I wrote a thesis on this same issue then. Do you ever imagine why any government would increase the pump price?
A country whose major source of income is oil revenue who has had its oil swapped for loan into the future. Daily production mostly gone into paying back the loans, zero reserve, nothing. Where do you want this government to get the money to fund subsidy and keep the naira exchange rate at 400 per dollar? Keep in mind that we are tilted to the lower end of the balance of trade.
I'm sure none of us would run our personal businesses this way. Like Sanusi said, we've been living fake lives. My only concern about all the hardships is for the Tinubu government not to squander all the gains on reckless spendings. Everything would have been for nothing.
