I remember Aisha very well for NTA over 25 years ago

I remember her, Cyril Stober, Euginia Abu, Ruth Opia and reporter Abike Dabiri(who later turned into something else when she started hobnobbing with politicians)


May Aisha's soul rest in peace 🙏

LegendHero:


I love this. This is the delusion that we need.

The delusion that Tinubu can’t win any state. I am sure by next election, una social media noise maker will still be dancing online claiming he won’t win one polling unit while on Election Day Jagaban continue to win.

We saw how una cancel Xperience pastor Paul crusade online only for the place to be full to the brim on actual day.

Actually no one can cancel Xperience in Nigeria

This was the 18th edition
Moreover Xperience is the best music concert in Nigeria

The world class, first class quality of equipment and music of Xperience is matchable

Even Burnaboy or Wizkid with there level no fit match the Xperience level of World class quality music

So nobody can cancel Xperience

It is now part of December culture for Christians in Nigeria just like Shiloh

TonyeBarcanista:
Is President Bola Tinubu a political deity? Why do some believe that he is unbeatable in 2027?

Why are you talking about 2027 when he was just sworn in May 29 this year?

He hasn't even done up to a year and you are talking about next election

Na wa for all una politicians self

Allow the Man to work First

It's joblessness or not being busy that causes this

Nigeria is burning Economically
Many of our people don't know the means of what to eat this Christmas

But your worry is 2027 Election


My take:

If Tinubu repositions the Economy and gets it right

He will have no competition in 2027

Repositioning of Nigeria's economy will be the score card to judge him next election

Great100000:
Ha!!! My brother takes it easy on, Years & Decades bawo E tey now.

The problem with my club (Chelsea) is from the owners, signing inexperienced players up and down and saying you want to build for the future, even if you want to do that, you need to have some experienced established players in the squad and leaders, look at our squad, which one can we call a leader? Except for Thiago Silva, others are not even close.

During the true Chelsea era, Chelsea had Terry, Lampard, Drogba, Ballack, and Cech, these were the leaders in the squad.

Also, Pochettino is too soft for my liking as a Coach, the way is him, he is a good person but a bad coach, he is too soft, same thing every day, what he says in the press Conference will even annoy you, Chelsea needs discipline and experience Coach, not this Pochettino type

It is not even pochetino


The major problem are Chelsea owners

They wasted over a billion pounds on that team

Does this Chelsea team look like a team worth such money?

The Americans are absolutely clueless

They don't know what football is about
They have no clue at all

They are totally vision less

Whether we blues fans like it or not

Chelsea are presently a lower table league team simple

The damage is already done


You are talking of coach

They had a champions league winning coach
What did they do?

Went and fired Thomas Tuchel

Fired Mariana

Fired Cech

Fired all 2021 champions league winning team

These were the structures that had ensured the success Chelsea were enjoying

The Americans were hopelessly clueless

And yes it will take Chelsea years if not decades to wake up

The winning structures/template Roman built over a decade ago

These Americans wasted away under two years


This Chelsea story is a good case study for business school on how to run a successful franchise and how to mess it up

High time we blues fans know where our club is presently and become sober

Because no miracle will change this

lakeside30:



Same thing with United

Exactly

Man utd are same boat with Chelsea

United's problem was the shoes of Sir Alex Ferguson is unfit to Wear

Like Chelsea were molded by Romans vision

United were molded on Sir Alex Ferguson

So same problem
It will take years if not decades


Man City will have same problem by the time Pep Guardiola leaves because the team is built on Peps vision

Chelsea's problems:

Roman Abrahamovic had a grand vision for Chelsea and he achieved these visions under 15 years

2 champions league
2 Europa cups
5 premier leagues
4 fa cups
1 world club cup
1 UEFA super cup

Roman was an extraordinary Man

Till the Ukraine debacle
He sold off Chelsea to these clueless American owners

No vision

All there problems lay on sacking Mariana, Petr Cech, Thomas Tuchel, almost all the 2021 champions league winning squad


Chelsea presently is a lower table league whether we like it or not

Like lower table league team
Whenever pochetino time erupts

They should get a mid table kind manager to first of all build up the team for a couple of years


But presently Chelsea isn't it one bit

By the way I am a die hard blues fan

Artiiclebeast:
Let's hope he will bring his corporate boardroom/executive role experience onboard as a governor to reposition the state for greatness.

How he is going to marry this with the murky shitty waters of the Nigerian style of politics is something I can't wait to find out.

In all, I pray he wins and succeeds and I am able to key into his administration to fulfill my dream for investment in the state.

He will be good for Edo state

Kudos to Gov Obaseki

opamoses1:



The above quotes are from news report of P&G changing their business model and closing down their manufacturing factories in Nigeria.


Those importers are destroying the economy with their cheap commodies from China. P&G and Glaxo are also moving to an import based model to faily compete. I guess they will also import their products maybe from their India factories to be sold in Nigeria.

The government should have increased taxation on those importing all sorts into Nigeria.

👇

Actually

If FG increase taxation or even ban importation like Buhari did previously

Cost of the product will be higher for the consumers because demand will be more than supply

The key factor is that APC due to poor Economic policies since 2015 have reduced the purchasing power of ordinary Nigerians

The Government should find solution to the Economic situation they created

The truth also is that if they don't find solution
Present dire Economic problems will continue getting worse till next election

Then Nigerians will have no other choice
Of voting out APC

So FG have a very big problem before them till 2027

Time is ticking

tsdarkside:
they only come to nigeria for the dollars....

nothing else....
when we tell una this foreighn companies are doing nigeria no good,una will not listen....

They won't make profit for there business again?

Do they look like father Christmas to you?

Once there is volatility in foreign exchange market in a country
it affects foreign investors with Companies operating in the affected country

Argentina and Nigeria are the affected countries

Fiscus105:



Bold my comment where I wrote a partner should guide the marriage jealously.


Perhaps u are a graduate,if you are, how u passed out surprise me.


I won't be surprised if u re having issues in ur relationship, ..........gragra and coconut head would surely bring toxic into relationship

the two actors still need to guide the Marriage jealously if they want it to succeed.

......and what did I mean by guiding it jealously?


You made this statement to the guy you replied

Na you wey no go school self when you can't even remember your own statement again

Fiscus105:



Yes but on many occasions you can also know at least, 75% what might come out, if you don't go by way *physical body* but the quality the partners possess that can make the Marriage work. Meanwhile, having got the prerequisites, the two actors still need to guide the Marriage jealously if they want it to succeed.

......and what did I mean by guiding it jealously?

The two of you should endeavour to refrain from what you know can hurt ur partner toooo deep, not that alone,you should also learn how to reach compromise.( I reject some and accept some of my partner's characters)

And where it is only one partner that will guide the union jealously then what happens?


Most times people talk things based on just what they think not what they have experienced

Like the guy you quoted stated
A woman can hide her real personality, till she enters marriage

That's what many Men go through

Although from personal findings
Rugged Men are less likely to see this
Because if woman dey craze a rugged Man dey craze pass am

So she better behave herself or she go collect well well

CHoccolaTE:


You think men give women peace? You really believe women fare better in marriages than men?
If you do then no wahala. I don't even have any interest in arguing.
Enjoy.

The issue is from your reply
It shows You don't even understand the whole drift

Successful marriages I see around one important factor you find out is that the women give there Men peace

At least I have successful marriages I have observed of people close to me

It's still same scenario

I have three sisters married my parents first daughter has been married for 16 years
And very successful marriage
Likewise the other ones

The key thing I observed is that she gives her husband complete peace of mind

The husband trusts her because of this

Some couple of years ago when they Developed one of there properties in lekki Lagos

She handled everything about the project from beginning to end
Was just answerable to her husband
He trusted her to release huge funds, allow her control everything

But she must give account for all her spendings


It's only a woman that gives a man peace of mind the man can trust to that level

In fact sensible women know that men are not difficult like that

It's the stubborn, troublesome ones that experience the Lion nature of a Man

Because average Man out there has a Lion nature if you dare the Man

CHoccolaTE:
This topic has to be a joke.
Both the original post and the comments from other males.

I don't know how you clowns have succeeded in convincing yourselves that you are victims of females.
Females are the greater recipients of domestic violence, absentee partners in marriage, infidelity in relationships, females give up their names and identities to get married, the kids they spend their whole lives raising are not even theirs; because children belong to their fathers side of the family, women are under greater pressure to tolerate bad marriages because of stigma of divorce so they stay and put up with all sorts of rubbish from their husbands.
Women are the worst sufferers of bad inlaws.
Many men don't even provide shit. They do the barest minimum and have their wives substitute for the rest and then they still don't appreciate her for it.
But somehow, males have convinced themselves that they are the victims and marriage favors women.

Let me leave this thread for you deluded creatures. Please enjoy your delusions.

Why do most Men complain?

What Men want self is simple: peace of mind

Many women nowadays can't give that

When even the Bible warned about being with a troublesome/ quarellsome woman


Showing the same thing
Men just want peace of mind and good marriages you see around have that combination of a woman offering her Man peace of mind

Great6Pack:
Honestly I wish I am in your shoes. The simple truth no one will tell you today is that marriage is not for everyone.

You can have your peace of mind by having your desired number of kids with one or 2 baby mamas and strictly take care of your kids needs.

If they like, they can become your friends with benefits but never commit your heart to a woman especially those ones in Nigeria of today.

Talking is a man with 10 years of marriage. If I had known what I know now 10 years ago, this would have been my sincere action.

Suit yourself though because it's never a one size fits all kind of life

Discussing with some guys
I discovered that one of the biggest dis service done to men is:

The pressure to get married

This have put many men to lifetime regrets


My advice to Men

Never fall under the pressure to get married
This pressure makes Men overlook red flags and end up marrying nonsense

If you are single
Be comfortable in your state

Even if you want to Marry
Then you will use clear eye

Vet everything about the Lady In question
Like the way you vet investments


Just be comfortable in your state as a Man
That way you will be stronger and better

AlphaHakimi:



Here is my sincere advice to you.

1) When you see a woman, treat whatever relationship you have with her as transactional.

2) Make sure any woman you decide to date invest something tangible in your life. I don't mean sex, let her invest her money, skills and time in your life.

You see, women are loyal to their emotions. A woman does not really care about what you have done for her in the past, if you cannot help her presently, you are useless to her. This is why I said she has to invest in you and openly ask her for it the same way they ask you for money for wig, shoes and cloth. A woman is only loyal to her sacrifice. Once she knows she has sacrificed something that is not easy to come by e.g Money, she will be loyal to you.

Here is how you do it, if you have a car and you want to go for maintenance and you know it will cost you like 15k, openly tell her that your car is due for maintenance and that she should give you 15k for it (Not borrow).

So whenever she collects money from you, collect an equal amount of money from her. This is transactional relationship. So that the day she decides to leave, she will remember all that she has invested in you and that will keep her.

Don't crave for love, it will find you and when it does make sure you are getting as much as you are giving.

Shalom

Op I recommend this strategy


Women won't leave where they invested heavily

ANSMEDIA:
Innoson has proved that you can succeed in business staying in Southeast

Exactly

All his business Life has been in the East

For him to make it in the East shows it is being done

Other reasons people give are just excuses

constant1960:




No be small fake doctor oo
After all the problem for Nigeria na South East be him problem

You can imagine

Actually South East news drives there traffic

That's the only reason for this obsession

The most objective and intelligent response so far.

Yes objective and intelligent indeed

Clap for yourself

Good clap for yourself

Honestly this platform is a complete joke

They just wake up and Bam a new South East dissing news

I believe South East news increases there traffic

Nothing else to say

reddingtonblack:



You think you know but apparently you know nothing, the major importers of phamaceutical products in Nigeria are Igbos

Dora Akunyili took the war against fake drug on becos it was personal for her, she couldnt save her sister that had diabetes cos of fake drugs, she also asserted the major importers of counterfeits are igbos
Its not a coincidence assasination attempt was made on Dora Akunyili and later her husband was assasinated in the EAST ... it was that personal cos she ruined so many counterfeit importers. link

https://www.icirnigeria.org/remembering-dora-akunyili-anti-fake-drugs-crusader-whose-headgear-saved-from-assassins-bullets/

See whatever catch's your fancy keep at it

But just know that ethnic profilers, bigots and tribalist like you don't have anything on the Igbo man


If you like employ one million Reno
It doesn't stop us from showing our God given abilities


One million of you ain't bothering us
It's only una go dey Stew

The Igbo man ain't bothered

We came from a war we lost everything to still be relevant in our own way

And as long as Nigeria remains
It's only ranting you guys will be ranting nothing much
You lot can or will do

People like you are irrelevant in the scheme of things where it really matters

You are inconsequential and doesn't matter one bit in the scale of things

So go on Stewing
Ain't bothered one bit

reddingtonblack:



i swear i don't wear glasses, however what you know is micro to what you don't know

Laws are sancrosanct to curb crimes but what you need to understand is that laws are mere written words that greatly depend on human efforts ... laws won't enforce itself, it needs enforce agents and law enforce agents rely on information & intel that can only come from the people.

Which is why i said, it takes collective effort from the Govt, to law officers to citizens to judiciary to curb crime.

I ask again, IF boko haram relocate to Anambra how long will there operation last and why

Using the bokoharam analogy doesn't cut it because we in the East don't support fake drug producer's
We don't even do the business or know how it operates

And to show that we don't support them
An Easterner named Dora Akunyili fought them to standstill
If we supported fake drugs dealers Dora would have given them an easy passage

Other nafdac DGs are not doing anything

And if Government doesn't do it's work
The system will be messed up completely

And that's the major problem we have in Nigeria
When Government fail on there duties
They will start playing ethnic card
So the analogy with bokoharam doesn't cut it one bit

We in the East don't support fake drugs in anyway
We are against it
So government should do there job

In addition coming to government
I believe Obj era was the best period for Nigeria in Governance

Because he had better grasp of things even as a former Head of state

His Economic management was better

His control of security was better
Hts tackling of drugs proliferation was better

Nigeria s image around the globe was so much better

Under Him two serving US Presidents came on official visit to Nigeria: Bill Clinton and George W Bush

So I personally believe Obasanjo understood Governance more than subsequent Presidents

While Buhari a former Head of state was a very big disappointment

reddingtonblack:




Oops its now product differentiation, you are just leaking all over the place

Iphones are more expensive than other brands becos Apple made no compromise on quality or models. Apple has its own class and as a consumer you either fit in or crop out.

blackberry and nokia had a unique OS, which is also product differentiation but how did it pan out, certainly there is more to it

When it comes to Drugs "Doctor prescription is the major determinant NOT purchasing power" when my late father was in ICU there are drugs that come from one brand, its only when options exit purchasing power can work.
A patient will buy what doctor prescribes you can only ration it on scale of preference not the cheapest ones as you put it.

Need i remind you china has a bigger population than US, bigger population denote bigger market, its shouldnt come as a shock if china records more sales.
China have wide ranges of cars they produce locally and there are levies and policies to discourage foreign taste, moreover vast population of china are commited & loyal to local brands.

mind you toyota is a japanese car

Apple strategy is product differentiation

Blackberry and Nokia missed developing better operating system,when there mates were preparing for the future of mobile phones and fell off the order while Google Developed Android os which was modern and most phones went with it

While Apple Developed iOS operating system

Android and iOS are the major os used today

Apple got the hack and maintained market leadership

Even Bill gates tried to break the control of Android and iOS with a Microsoft operating system for mobile phones like he did with Windows for computers
But he still couldn't achieve it

This is all about trying the power of creativity and Innovation


Coming to drugs
I have seen consultants prescribe drugs that are not from big brands especially BP drugs
Patient use them for years and it's not harmful to them

If it's cancer drugs and other tougher diseases drugs which are very expensive
The big pharmacy Companies control those ones even the Asian manufacturers can't produce them

So generic drugs from big brands alternative can be gotten from cheaper producers

johnjose68:


I don't think you are serious at all

We are talking about your tribe selling FAKE drugs...you are talking about cheap drug even using apple and Samsung to justify your tribe quest to destroy Nigerians life.

You are pathetic 👿

I thought you were reasonable self

Well I don't blame you

Your likes is the reason this country is backward and underdeveloped

Because you see everything through the lens of tribalism and bigotry

Thank God I avoid your types in Life

Because you can't add any tangible value in Life

Tribal bigot

YoungLionken:
Dear kings, know that you are the prize ..

Therefore, never you be in a hurry to pay bride prize without carrying out your due diligence, never let a woman outsmart you on that..

Again, don't marry a woman because you love her (only), but because you're satisfied with her behaviours all round and she passed all your tests, in the process of dating/courting..

Imagine the cost of putting up such a glamorous wedding in this economy, where a bag of rice alone is more than some peoples' salaries. The least the biatch could do is simply have sense that it's not right to make that stupid, insensitive, selfish and careless move at that particular time..

Be wise, or you will suffer in the hands of these Jezebels...

This is how many ladies behave nowadays

They will go and marry a Man because of Money
While they are deeply attracted to another Man

Many guys getting married
Are getting the wrong end of the stick

Guys if your woman is not deeply attracted to you
Better not go into marriage with her

That's what we are having nowadays
Women agreeing to marriage
Only because of money
And nothing else

Tueh

reddingtonblack:



Are you on glasses or why do see things from myopic lens, the truth is govt can't change people that are not even ready to change, Govt can't do it alone, we must make collective effort.
The reason why IPOB thrive in south east is becos people there cover them up, miltants thrive in SS becos the locals provide cover .... but bring miltant and Ipob to South west and see if they will last One month

Narcos thrive in US becos americans are the biggest consumers all time, despite the effort FBI, DEA and Govt drug trafficking rises in america becos the citizens are accomplices ... its like trying to seperate garri mixed with sand.


The crime people/locals don't condone can't last, if boko haram relocate to Nnewi they won't last two weeks think

You are the one seeing things from myopic lens

And I believe your type of mindset is why Africa is underdeveloped

Where there is no rule of law and lawlessness
The society is totally messed up


Take Western countries
They don't play with the rule of law
Nobody is above the law in there society
So everyone behaves well


Take driving for example
If Nigerians drive the way they do here say in the UK or US
They will be fined and even go to jail

Likewise like battery or abuse
If you fight someone or odinary slap someone in the UK or US
You are going to jail


Rule and Respect of law discourages crime

If the government doesn't do it's work
The criminals will take over

That's how it's done in working societies
And that's one major reason Nigeria is underdeveloped and backward

Because everyone does whatever they want to do without fear of the law

Thanks Brother... But, I can never support Man United (for wetin na).

reddingtonblack:




If you ever set out to make a proper analyse, don't look from one angle instead you view from broad spectrum and factor in reality.

From a broad spectrum purchasing power is just one out of many considerations a producer or manufacturer have on her list however not all product bows to economic or purchasing power.

Nigeria didnt begin in 2015, idris abdulkareem sang Nigeria jaga jaga before most Peter Obi supporters know there left from right, roger that

China produces base on Spec and order, what you order qualitywise is what they give you and that is what gave rise to market infiltrations, Nigeria Market is hijacked by IMporters/Middlemen they run like an organised cartel to dominate the market and Manipulate "Prices".

Its debateable, but the truth is Apple is not in any competition considering the usage and loyalty in US .. however most iphones are assembled in china becos of professionalism & cheap labour, regardless Iphones are more expensive than Samsung or Redmi in US.

Not all cheap product are fake but all fake products are cheap,

Now lets not Forget the thread is about Fake and couterfeit products .. should will be talking of Price. uche chemist will sell chalk for you the same price as genuine M&B paracetamol that is the wickedness we are talking about

Apple are more expensive Samsung and redmi because they used product differentiation strategy in there marketing tools

Whereby they differentiated there products using quality still putting a premium price on them

That's have been Steve Jobs way with Apple products even before his demise

They differentiated everything from there charger to software to even sharing Data

While Samsung, Redmi and most other phones use same software Android, same mode of transfer etc

Coming to drug quality

Price is a very big determinant in purchasing drugs

There are drugs cheaper that even doctors prescribe to patients of which many multinationals drug manufacturers own brand are more expensive

This one are drugs prescribed by doctors and consultants

So the Consumers go for the cheaper ones according to there pocket

For an Economy like Nigeria
Price is very important to the sales of products
So people go for cheaper alternatives

That's how Nigeria works

Example car purchase

Nigerians can't afford brand new cars so go for second hand

While Americans go for brand new cars
The US used to have highest market share in brand new car sales

I remember when I was in business school they had highest market share
China later passed them for a year or two for highest market share sales of brand new cars

Just checked Data

US had sales of 11.3 million light vehicles in 2022
China had sales of 23.6 million vehicles both light, SUV and truck

While 65million brand new vehicles were manufactured globally in 2022

Car brands

Toyota had highest 11% market share of car sales globally
Volkswagen came second with 6% market share of sales globally

We4all:


Every product has a life span and a market for it. Shoes; no matter how expensive don't even have a long life span. And unless you don't have a need to wear shoes often, you must make a yearly or regular purchase. So, your analogy doesn't hold water.

A manufacter should have a product for different markets as not every Nigerian are obsessed with inferior goods. China, US and other European countries produce for different markets. Why should 'Aba made' be different?

Lol your analogies are somehow

I have shoes I bought very expensive

They have lasted for years

This have made me but only expensive shoes

There are some designer shoes that go for over a thousand dollars

My boss wears such

Those shoes lasts for years

But those cheap ones
Don't last
But the buyers like it like that

When they spoil
They buy another one

Some even buy maybe two to three to use them differently

First off, I'm not an Nwa afo, but a well travelled Nigeria who has a thorough grasp of what goes on across the nation.

Secondly, learn to embrace the TRUTH. It will make your life easier.

Southeast region has all it takes to be far ahead of the entire nation if they can come together and elect serious leaders.

When you see poor leadership, you call it out no matter whose ox gets gored.

Imo and Ebonyi need to sit up in that region.

It's as simple as that!

I really like your mindset Angelfeost

reddingtonblack:



The Dora Akuyili that tried to overhaul the system, enforce checks and went after those importing fake drugs what happened to her ? even her husband was not spared in the East .. why ??

Someone provide chalk as alternative to paracetamol, becos people can't afford the genuine drug how is that even a solution. system or no system why should someone even be that wicked all becos you want to make money. We need to tell ourselves bittee truth that will help more

You are not getting it

If government doesn't do it's work

The bad guys will roam the whole place

If you don't fight evil standstill
Evil will take preminence

Look at the US for example

Law enforcement agencies like drug nacrotics, DEA, FBI, etc work day and night to fight drug proliferation and snuggle in the US

But still streets of the US are flooded daily with drugs despite all the work they do

They don't allow the bad guys to gain advantage
So they fight them to standstill


Look at nafdac
Only late Prof Dora Akunyili fought fake drugs to standstill

Since she left the place
That agency has not been doing anything
