Agriculture › Re: Minimum Wage 'wahala' Would You Blame This Farmer? (pix) by dewiseacre(m): 11:59am On Jun 08, 2024
Until we as Nigerians will begin to use our brains and see that the war is between them and us - politicians and the masses; selfish leaders and impoverished followers; self-serving politicians and technocrats!

Shouldn't Labour be focused on asking our leaders to reduce their cost of governance? A sitting Senator takes home #30million+ home monthly in allowances.

Mr. Labour, what is the minimum wage of an average Senator? When you find out, let me know if that sits well with you. Otherwise, you're just a puppet of the same government trying to amuse the mass audience
Politics › Re: Dear NLC Trends As Nigerians Compare Salary Of Workers & Senators & Rep Members by dewiseacre(m): 9:27pm On Jun 03, 2024
In my humble opinion, I would have wanted Labour to insist on government cutting their cost of governance instead of this minimum wage thing.

Even if the minimum wage becomes 500k+, which will be detrimental to the economy, it's just ludicrous that a senator earns N30million+ monthly in allowances. How on earth did we get here??

Can we ask that the minimum wage for Senators be N350k in total emoluments monthly plus other national benefits like free healthcare for their families in any hospital in the country, free accommodation in their local government, pensions, free bus rides in public transports ONLY, etc?

Let's make governance unattractive to politicians, but enticing to technocrats who want to serve!!
Travel › Re: Omi-Bus: Inside The Locally-Built Ferries Launched By Lagos State Government by dewiseacre(m): 1:47pm On May 31, 2024
What about the BRT buses and trains I mentioned? My point is simply how government officials inaugurate projects, in this case the transport sector, and they themselves don't use them because they feel a class above the people they rule. It's in every sector.

And this has nothing to do with APC, PDP or LP cause you resorted to an insult instead of rational thinking... I won't be doing myself any good trading words with your ilk who would rather insult people than engage in critical thinking. You're an obvious bye product of our failed leadership as a country so I'll rather sympathize with you

SonofLagos:
what if the route to there house or destination doesn’t go through water or they just have to do a show to please you lots. I guess your common sense didn’t tell you that or you just want to hate cool
Travel › Re: Omi-Bus: Inside The Locally-Built Ferries Launched By Lagos State Government by dewiseacre(m): 10:16am On May 31, 2024
Yet, no government official will take these rides.. just like BRT buses and trains. They do a show to launch but can't bring themselves down to journey with the same masses who brought them into power
Sports › Re: EuropaLeague Celebrates Rahmon Lukman's Historic Hatrick by dewiseacre(m): 11:56pm On May 26, 2024
I'm not just some religious bigot here. Please learn..my points are

- God, who's omnipresent (meaning He dwells in a timeless realm) knew Lookman would score 3 goals and win MOTM. I didn't say God made him the hero of the day because he serves God. As far as you and I know, the lad might even be atheist!

- All the 22+ players on the day couldn't have scored because of course this is football, there can only be one match winner!! So when the players were coming out of the dugout, who on earth could have predicted accurately that Lookman would score a hat trick and win it for Atalanta? No man, but God!

- That Lookman was the hero on the day didn't mean God hates others. There are times and seasons for every man..in different ways and facets of life. Most of the players might never achieve this same feat but would go on to have successes in other areas where Lookman might not even come close, family, health, wealth, etc.

- That an event has happened on earth didn't mean God approved of it, even if He permitted it to happen. So my point here is from the latter - permission. It's not about God approving of Lookman because he was the only one who prayed and fasted before the match, lol...like I said in my first point, Lookman might not even give two whoops in hades about God. However, He, God, knew about what was going to happen to Lookman that night, when no one else did and He PERMITTED it!

- And lastly, the reason I can say it in a positive tone in relation to God is because it's a good thing to achieve and not a negative thing [like being successful at a $billion robbery operation] - both are "success" stories in different lights

So bro, abeg remove my profile from that religious group you had in mind!!

assholemods:
Stop calling God here! Does God not have bigger plans for the other team? God is not partial.
Sports › Re: EuropaLeague Celebrates Rahmon Lukman's Historic Hatrick by dewiseacre(m): 11:09pm On May 25, 2024
I had this same feeling watching the match again..seeing the two teams file out, I said Ademola doesn't know he's got a date with destiny..at the most,he just wanted a win but God had bigger plans!

ElevationD:
Great feat!

He never knew that he had a date with history. He wanted his team to win the cup, even if it was by one goal. However God had other plans to announce him to the world.

Congratulations to Ademola Lukman.

Such a mindset..the day this couple is caught and jungle justice is meted you won't say they're 'wise'. The way that seems right (wise) to a man but leads to destruction Proverbs 14:12...I pray you understand fast before it's too late for you!

Obainoman6:
You were not wise and that wise couple have run you street, its a normal thing where i live mugu must always fall for guyman to chop.
Right now that wise couple will be enjoying the stuffs they bought from your shop while toasting with a cool bottle of wine and celebrating. Take your L peacefully.

Where is the evidence of people with 10,000 lines? Can't you start with those first, if they actually exist and it's not an exaggerated statement to prove a point?

Why can't this be done online?

I tried going to a Glo office the other time and the crowd was mammoth! The people there were even doing deals as usual.. why does everything in this country proposed by government for the public have to be stressful, frustrating, and void of a simple process? Why?

If you're assuming Folorunsho Alakija is richer than her husband.. then you don't really know them beyond what you read in the media

jeromestarks:
I can NEVER marry a woman who is wealthier than me.
And I will never allow my wife to be richer than me. Never!

Women misuse power. They tend to insult men at the slightest opportunity they get.

Your marriage can not last if your wife has as much money as you.

South Africa has been having power issues for years now and I think they made the video to spite themselves.. I don't see how it targeted Nigerians or the Super Eagles except that someone just went to add Osihmen's picture at the bottom. The video was made by South Africans for South Africa!
Politics › Re: Opeyemi Falegan: UK Air Force Officer Offers To Train Amotekun Operatives by dewiseacre(m): 11:30pm On Feb 03, 2024
People here are already squabbling over nothing.

This spate of insecurity will abate massively if we don't continue to enrich our politicians while they impoverish the masses.

You have made people hungry and angry because you, your family and political cohorts have cornered their commonwealth. You have successfully pushed them into all manner of atrocities, turning them into kidnappers and terrorists along the way. Instead of you to now own up, admit your ineptness and failures these past years, you still continue to sit on their wealth, enrich your own pockets in the name of "leadership" and blame security operatives for not doing their work; for not taming the monster you created!

Instead of spending money on guns for security operatives, build more factories and create jobs for the masses. Instead of your fat salary, allowances and bribes, invest the money in your community through quality education, entrepreneurship programs and developmental sports for young people. Instead of your bulletproof fleet of cars, create a mass transit scheme for the people so you can ride with them to work and back everyday. Instead of turning yourself into a god when you get into political office, become the servant of all, for the good of all.

Our number one enemy in this country is leadership!!!

Business › Nigerian Organizations/government Agencies Without Functional Phones, Emails by dewiseacre(op): 1:07pm On Jan 17, 2024
So there are several organizations, especially government agencies in this country that make themselves inaccessible yet they float websites but with numbers that NEVER go through or emails that are responded to never, or years after.

I've been trying to reach the Nigeria law school to find out their process of verifying certificates of students who graduated from the institution (we have a new staff whose certificate we want to verify). Numbers are not going through and emails are not responded to! Do they expect people to "travel" to their offices in Abuja or Lagos just to get basic information?

Which way Nigeriahuh

Travel › Re: UK Man Confronts Nigerian Neighbour After He Stopped Him From Using His Wifi by dewiseacre(m): 8:21pm On Jan 07, 2024
First off, I don't know if the blogger that posted this video is just trying to play a race card here.. there's no confirmation that the owner of the Wi-Fi is Nigerian!

Secondly, if you've lived abroad, or in the UK specifically, you'll understand that this old man would have done the same to another white man; so, he didn't do this because the owner of the Wi-Fi is black or Nigerian. The old people that are not in care homes with other seniors or pensioners behave this way many times that it just appears they're not reasoning logically...all just signs of old age! And everyone gets old, white or black!!

Romance › Re: My Wife Watches Cartoons More Than My Kids At 37 Help! - Man Laments by dewiseacre(m):
Do you know that those cartoons engage your brain more than most Nollywood movies? From the cast, to the plots and story lines, to the technology and visual effects..and the songs..and all the resources expended on making those animated movies.

You'll be amazed how many things I learnt in this life from watching cartoons that weren't even mentioned once within the four walls of my academic institution(s)

Should I shock you? The animated movie industry in the US is bigger than the whole of Nollywood..

People with animated minds are the most creative people on the planet..you should be happy your wife belongs to this elite group!
Career › Re: Why Are Motorcyclists Called Okada Riders? by dewiseacre(m): 3:21pm On Nov 26, 2023
I can't believe all the manner of assumptions here. I'm just having a laugh.

The popular motorbike brand in the early 90s then in Lagos was Okada from Japan.
https://www.okada-corp.com/en/index.php
Vespa was just fading out at the time


I am 100% certain of this because our house had a mechanic village - it was a motorcycle village. And each day, some bikes ended up parked in our compounds overnight and as a little child who was fascinated by these machines, I'd sneak up in the evenings to go sit on the ones parked in our compound. Though I was in my latter days in primary school, I could string basic words together and one of them was the "Okada" boldly engraved on those motorcycles.

Take this to the bank!!
Politics › Re: Three-Month Rehabilitation Of Third Mainland Bridge To Begin Nov 1 — Umahi by dewiseacre(m): 5:26pm On Oct 29, 2023
You can't survive a week in Lagos without waking up to one blocked road or the other. Annoyingly, they won't ease other routes for free flow of traffic..they use the traffic that build around these sites to let the whole world know they're working! No care whatsoever for the road users! Lagosians get ready! This is their modus operandi...no order, no plan, no understanding of peak periods, no proper diversions, no critical thinking..they'll just block every where. And LASTMA officials and police will soon be praying they're deployed to that site for their daily 'egunje'

I've endured this for over 2 years at Yaba now.. and despite completing a major part, a path that can be opened for free flow of traffic is still blocked INTENTIONALLY in the day by LASTMA and night by miscreants collecting 'egunje' from any motorist that doesn't want to "sit in traffic"
