In nigeria,
age of consent is 18 years from Child's Rights Act 2003

Lol Who taught you government in secondary school? Nigeria’s age of consent is 11 years and it’s the lowest in Africa. Get the fact right. The boy has no case. They will not charge him as it’s a case of consensual sex and NOT rape.

My monthly submission was based on a 40-hour workweek so I still stand by it. That aside, I agree infrastructure needs to be greatly improved, especially power and roads. These two areas directly impact the economy and if they improve significantly, we may have a basis for advocating for minimum wage increase in the private sector.

Personally, I believe in increased infrastructure followed by increasing tax and VAT. I don't mind paying 30 or 35% tax and paying more for services if everything works.

Finally. This was exactly my point. We just need to keep praying and doing our little right as good citizens in this country. We may soon get there.

mapet:
1. I see a lot ignorance in your submission
2. Reality check - Landing cost of a Unit (KWh) of Power = ~N40. End user price for domestic consumers= ~N27. The margins hitherto were subsidised by the industrial clusters, many of whom have now "resorted" generating their own power.
3. The decision to privatise power means that we are expected to pay for what we end up consuming; "rich" or "poor". What we are experiencing today is actually a transition to a willing-buyer-willing-seller & free market business. Investors will shy away from markets where you subsidize over-regulate as it signals problems to recoup investments.
4. This arrangement with Magodo residents is not new. It is part of what was in the privatisation arrangements that was not activated by the previous governments. If Gencos have excess power to sell, and Discos are not taking it, and there are clusters willing to pay for it, it does stand logic on its head not to bridge this gap
5. Pray tell, how will metered-people have no electricity as you suggested? You left this hanging. How will people that are paying "equitably" for power will not be supply power? It does not make sense.
6. How will power be sold to the highest bidder at the expense of "poor Nigerians"? You want power to continue to be subsidized yet you alluded that an era is coming where power will not be available. How can power be available when people cannot pay up to the landing cost of a unit of power?
7. The Discos now have an incentive to collect more power from the GENCOs and sell. Prior to now Discos had been "dropping" (load-shedding) power supplied from GENCOs under various excuses of under-recovery, Metering gaps etc. When people sign-on to schemes like these, it is an incentive that both the Gencos & Discos will break even and make profit.
8. Why not license independent companies to provide power for small clusters you ask. First off there is already of provision for that in NERC regulation, that independent companies can be licensed up to 2MW to provide power for small clusters. The big question is, aside from few, why are companies not taking the option at the moment? When you consider the additional investments in terms of laying their own off-grid infrastructures (they cannot use Disco's infrastructure except they sell their produced power to the Discos) and the landing cost of such power, you will realize that this current one is probably a cheaper deal.
9. Finally, it seems abusing government almost all the time is one of the easiest thing to do, but I suggest we something check our knowledge gaps sometimes before we do so.

Here goes another thoughtful human.

I wonder how people will just want government to do everything for them. I haven’t in my lifetime heard that Electricity is a social amenity that’s ought to be financed and footed by the government. Very soon, Nigerians will want government to even pay for their transport fare by the time the light rail system is finally lauched in nigeria

seunmsg:
What kind of fuckery is this? How can electricity be a social emenity? All over the world, users of electricity pay for what they use. It is never a free social service.

Thank you bro.

I think you are making a mistake here. The cost structure or model that resulted in the figures you are quoting has to factor in the cost of labour and services that the said electricity and telecoms company procure in order to function properly. I think the minimum wage in Indiana is $7 per hour, that is, NGN 2,500 per hour (NGN 20,160 per 8-hour workday and NGN 403,200 per month). The federal minimum wage in Nigeria, even with the recent increase is NGN 30,000 per month. Did you consider this in your analysis?

Electricity cost in china and India is 8 cents (NGN 29.2 per Kwh), Argentina is 1 cent per kwh (NGN 3.65per kwh) these are countries with comparable minimum wages.... Apples to apples man

$7 per hour doesn’t mean the US labor rights authority and fair equality of all citizens will allow anyone work more that 48 hours per week? Man, I’m still standing on my point. In nigeria here, our costs of living is still very fair. What we ought to be saying here is that, government just need to provide more infrastructure and employment to push up the livelihood of all Nigerians by providing more employment opportunities and equally overseeing to the ridiculously low wages paid to workers by regulating and advocating the fair labour treatment by increasing the minimum wages in both private and public sector.
Even in USA, employment opportunity are getting shrinker and shrinker every day because of the evolution of Artificial intelligence and robotic assistant in major industries. Countless of homeless and jobless people over there. Not all greener pastures are green. Some are rotten.

lakesider:
Tell me a country where electricity is a right.
U need to understand how things works

No mind them bros. I tire for these clueless people.

It costs $177 a month to maintain a 24/7 constant electricity supply for a two bedroom apartment in garry, Indiana. That’s roughly 61k NGN here.

Monthly postpaid data and cellular subscription of 30gb costs $80 monthly on verizon! That’s about 29,740 NGN! 30gb on Glo costs 16k here. If you’re ready to pay for services you wish to utilize, I don’t see any reason for it not being rendered. So we are actually enjoying fair services in Nigeria, our real problem is that we are too poor to afford them.

fortran12:
Ilah is God in Arabic not Allah
Jesus is God in human flesh.

Yeye pikin
So God decides to send himself downstairs to his creations and allow them to kill him and cleanse all their sins . Funniest thing is that he even pass through the pussy which we all know is impurity to the status of a true God.

Na when una go get sense.
No one can see God. Not even the angels. Not even the prophets!!

helixmanager:
Religious bigot....

No Allah means No God..... it’s language, some christain bible in Arabic uses Allah for God.

Who is Jesus? Is Jesus God? If yes, did he leave the management of heaven and earth to come and die for humans while all other creatures in space, land and water are on auto pilot?

Is he son of God? Is he the only one called son of God in the Bible?

These are questions I’ll be willing to discuss with intelligent folks here not a debate or argument. Just a friendly chat.

If you quote me senselessly with abuse or without intellectual contribution or out of unnecessary sentiments, please note that the ignore button is activated.

As in, this was the very thought that’s riding through my mind for a very long time.
Even the Bible verse where it reads “in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God”. I still couldn’t fathom the reason a son and his father are God in one body. How could that be. There is a God and there is his son and they both are God. Impossible. The script writer Made a terrible mistake. A new revision is needed.

Salmoneus:
That's a lie, companies like bet9ja, Dano milk, dulfil foods (makers of indomie) and DSTV pay massive amounts in taxes to the government they all get gains from this show and pay part to your government, lazy youths like you should get off your high horses and WRITE to your local government representative and ask the quota your LGA is getting from these taxes and what they do with it.

And you the useless and dumbass viewers will spend countless hours that would have yielded better changes to your life and still spend massive amount on data & cable subscriptions to watch and follow the show without expecting any returns other than irrelevant sensation, as if that’s all, you’ll still go as far as using your (God knows where you stole it from ) money to vote for those people who wouldn’t shed a sweat if the day paints you bad.

When are you going to have sense?

solmusdesigns:

If as a graduate you seek to get economic or political value like a poor beggar from an entertaining PG 18 rated show then am afraid you are a waste to your country and generation... your life must have been like many Entitled Nigerian low brain graduates who look up to Government for job, who look up to religion for job, who also need entertainment show on Cable TV to teach them how to provide income for their lazy unproductive self, forgetting you as a graduate should crteate marketable solution to peoples Problem in a scientific way using what you learnt in school rather than waiting for hand outs


California has some of the best entertainment contents and reality shows with everyone getting entertained and most of their graduates are not poor idle fools that look of to the television for life direction and economic development, even Kyle Jenner a reality start can feed your local government for a full year as she is a billionaire in dollars, something you stupid certificate couldn't afford you

Lastly visit twitter and use the hastag BBnaija to see the people of substance accross africa following the program and tell me if you are richer than them including don jazzy, innoson automobile, oppo phones etc

..

Mr man, calm down. There’s sense in what the guy said. The time and effort you BBN viewers invest in the show would have have turn out very productive and helpful to the economy if it’s channeled into useful and vital economic aspect/areas.

I’m sure you’d have auditioned for the show if you’ve gotten the chance and still get airdropped like a grenade when the sentimental organizers reveal their finalist despite paying 5k NGN and portraying heavenly energy and qualities. but you would never contribute such amount and effort into rural development schemes in your locality.
This is exactly what the guy meant IMO.

chukzyfcbb:
Whether they can buy wizkid and his household or whatever, all I know is. in this time and age where Internet is widespread, with streaming media (Spotify,iTunes and co) an artiste like wizkid can very easily make 100million naira.

in fact rocking 3shows a week overseass for 2wks will get him that amount or close.





If these local traders had the public reach like wizkid/davido they would be multi billionaires coz their wares would be marketed to far areas globally.


100million is not so much of a biggie.

No mind them bros. Even an average gamers and pranks-makers can earn $50k a month from YouTube talkless of big artistes like Davido and wizkid.


And In case they’ve forgotten, wiz was paid $600k+ for a show in India plus Akon himself testified that wiz and Davido are richer than most American artistes.

odinga1of:
Oga you are talking trash. how come Davido was accused of buying YouTube views by owner of jaguda.com?

Here goes another fool


If Davido coughs and releases the video on YouTube, a million naija viewers are already waiting for it to drop that same minute not to talk of his fan base outside naija.
Get sense bro.

Campusmyguy:
but which have a better job opening

Bro forget all the people here telling you programming is the best. For me I’d say it’s 3D animation because once you’re knoledged in that field, then you’re on your way to making millions. Forget the programming bosses and all scripting gurus on board telling you all fables. Here’s a tip; in this world where social media are starting to serve as a launchpad for many talented people in fields of music, movies, gaming and fashion, it will be easier for you to showcase your skills in a niche you are mostly good and fond of.

A good 3D rendering artist can make anywhere between $3000 to $150k in 10 months using just YouTube.

All it takes is to think a good event script or movie script, or any other imaginary ideas, project that onto your anime, and your final product can be finally presented to your own YouTube channel. There’s lots of benefits on using YouTube to showcases animation works. In fact you may get called up by Hollywood as I’ve seen one person who got the big bags just by animating marvel movies series.
Trust me, there’s nothing new under the programming world sun. But the dawn is only beginning for 3D animators.

Yonce:
Brown skin girl actually means girls with dark skin.
She even referenced black girls like Naomi Campbell, Lupita and Kelly Rowland. And talked about melanin.

She didn't mean light women. The song basically uplifts dark girls.

Bross, no mind that mumu. I never knew whites are now brown-skinned.
Some people just too daft.

lilwetdick:
trash wack lyrics

song look like some political statement on behalf of brown skin girls not black girls

wizkid sounding like sean kingston

song is all about colourism

I swear this dude doesn't have sense. I’m sure you’re using a tecno camon series dullphone. Go get a sense and drop your little wet dick.

Dizzyrascal:
*you mean our ignorant ancestor made agriculture simple? With what tools if I may ask?
*You mean they created an even system we're there were no rich or poor? I THINK YOU MEANT TO SAY THAT THEY CREATED A SYSTEM WERE EVERYONE WAS EQUALLY POOR
*You mean things are too expensive and there is no progress, REALLY? I BET YOU ARE TYPING ALL THIS ON YOUR ANDROID SMARTPHONE. PLS UNDERSTAND WHAT PROGRESS REALLY IS.

Bro, that dude is right. During the days of our ancestors, there are little to few beggars. There’s no oppression as we see today.

Aaronsrod:
Tell them o!

Without centuries of rape, genocide and slavery how could any blackman ever make Heaven.

But now we have the Bible.

Truly, our ancestors did not die in vain!

I still dey laff

CrestMan:
So says a man infested with demons!
How can you explain what you've never experienced? He is not the first neither will he be the last to be influenced by demons in order to utter 'trash' about God and His Word. We all know how they end except they give their hearts to Jesus Christ

Wee you keep kwaet!?

People who still see Jesus as God are the most foolish set of people. Even the Jews and the Israelis you all look up to doesn’t accept him as one.

Xbee007:
I think there is verse in the book of contradictions that say people who call other fools will burn in hell. So brother, delete this comment otherwise you will burn in hell forever.

There goes another brainwashed fellow

Kay25:
If the bible was not in Africa do you think Africa will still have been better?

Sure. Africa will be better ten times coz there won’t be all this so called religion departments (Zionist, cherubim, deeper life, Jehovah witness, etc).

Countries that are atheistic are far more better and blessed.

Hi all. I’m divit. And I’m representing a group of young and bright team who are starting a blockchain based project which we believe will further better human monetary system. The project is still a work-in-project and also have started their publicity campaign already, in the cryptosphere and having more than 40,000 community members who are willing to throw their support for the project.
The project, which was conceptualized by a two Nigerians and a Bosnian, aims to disrupt the banking, African Cryptocurrency industry and payment sector in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Vietnam, Indonesia and Bosnia. The project aims to bring cryptocurrency adoption to mainstream by redefining its usecases.

The team working on the project mainly consist of 5 full time members (the lead dev, the co-founder & some other young web devs) 4 of which are Nigerian and 1 from Bosnia and the other 1 from India, and 10 part time members who are mostly PR, influencers, moderators and advisers.

For these reason of having a few devs around, We are looking for app devs and UI/UX devs who are good enough to design and develop a mobile cryptocurrency wallet app with these specific functions;
1. Ability to store, receive and send up to 3 different cryptocurrencies (bitcoin, Ethereum and a custom erc20 token)
2. Cryptocurrency purchase and payment using 3rd party payment processor API such as Paystack.
Option to allow crypto payment via IAP (in-app pruchases)
4. Displaying total portfolio estimate value in real time.
5. Integration with SME (allowing mobile top ups and prepaid subscription using users crypto funds)
6. Ability to swap between app supported cryptos and a stable coin (pegged to a real currency - details later)
7. Other features of the app will be discussed upon meeting and also, we do have a full documentation on all the app features and how the app will work.

Web developers are also needed. Developers with knowledge of Cryptocurrencies and blockchain who can develop a platform that will facilitate the exchange of cryptocurrencies and fiats (cash) using automated escrow system and execute these activities in a p2p manner. For reference, examples of this type of platform are; remitano, localbitcoins or paxful.

All devs are welcome to propose their interest by sending an email to hello@cadinex.com

RTSC:
American propaganda?
Really?

Why should American companies do business with Chinese companies when they are only going to steal the tech?

Here goes your mistake. China don’t steal ideas. Rather they perfect it and make it more comfortable for people to benefit from such ideas. You can even say an art of copying is an art of perfection.

What’s so good about apples iPhone that you wouldn’t find better in a Chinese-made phone. What’s so good in google cloud which you wouldn’t find in Ali cloud? The fact is that, Americans are leveraging too much on the cost of the rest of the world.

Hi, sorry for my late follow back.
Actually, someone else has been awarded that project. But I’d like to ask if you can develop a cryptocurrency exchange. If you do, we may as well strike some good partnerships and business dealings.
Please quote back this message or WhatsApp 08111403638

Hi everyone, I’m Adewale by name. I’m in need of an app developer who can design and develop an app for Android and apple operating systems. The app deals with the purchase, storage and remitance of cryptocurrency.
