;DYou are a fossil. The rule is to evolve or perish

Such words from a so called gospel preacher. Is that what the gospel taught you ? You are not even fit to be called a Christian talkless of a preacher.

Let ur life preach the gospel. It's not by quoting scriptures.

And a word of advice. No one knows the day or the time, leave postulations for the heathens.

Watch your life and guard your soul, less you fall.
If u like argue and throw banter to justify yourself. It's your problem. May God deliver you from it. I owe you no further comments, since it is apparent you are no different from unbelievers who use words carelessly.

Have a nice day.

"
Igbos are called Nigerians when they do great things in the diaspora but they are called Igbos when it's bad news. Even if a criminal from Agbor who claims not to be Igbo commits a crime outside Nigeria, the headline would read "An Igbo Man on the run in the UK for murder". That is how much Igbos are hated. But when it's a Northerner or Yoruba, you'd see headlines read "A Nigerian on the run in the UK for murder". When such a character is coming from the Igbo heartlands of the South-East, they wouldn't only mention their ethnic group, they'd also mention their names and the exact place they are coming from.

I think you are being unnecessarily emotional about this.
Ok take for instance this news that just made front page today.

Did the news read "2 Igbos arrested in liberia for drug traffiking?"

Definately not!

On Nairaland .... I see the tribalists as ones who either live in villages or still have village mentality... the mentality passed down from hundreds of years when tribe was everything ... capture or kill ... no intermingling. This forum gives the opportunity to interact and learn about other tribes ... other cultures ... people around the world.... but instead choose to be primitive and see a person from a different tribe as an enemy. These are the people when they go to live in another part of the country ... or abroad .... find it extremely difficult to adapt and end up in gangs of their own kind. Whatever one says about another tribe exists in his tribe ... murderers... rapists ... scam artists ... drug pushers ... wherever there are people there is vice... we need to look at people as individuals and not tribe... a man defines himself.... tribe doesn't define the man

God bless you

Yes very interesting . Since 2017 lol. Knowledge evolves and is progressive. Dont dwell on 2017 knowledge or you become a fossil, move to 2022

Abeg go and sit down somewhere

You have two options.
1. FG should keep blaming all their ineffectiveness on subsidy. When they can't build road they'll say it's cos a subsidy. When they say no money for road cos of subsidy. And till eternity they'll keep on blaming subsidy.

2. FG remove subsidy and you give them the benefit of doubt that they'll perform and hold them by the balls when they don't cos now their subsidy excuses is gone forever. Now you have the right to do the mother of all protest for the Government to give you what you want.

Which of the two options look better to you?

Lol, I always love reality. Hate being spoon-fed. Having subsidy is just living a fake life. Let them remove it biko.

ibechris:
There is one special gift about an igbo man most people don't know.

An igbo can defend and fight for u any where.

An igbo man honours agreement.

An igbo man will never hurt his or her visitor. That is why they say "Ojemba ewe hin ru" that is,a stranger has no enemy.

An igbo man believes in relationship beyond tribe.

An igbo man is fearless...even my Yoruba landlady confirmed it to me.

Smiles. I once had an Igbo boss, who ALWAYS failed to honour agreements. Always changing goalposts.

Please lets stop being sentimental. It is nothing tribal. It is personal. Individual varies.

As we have trustworthy igbos same way we have fraudulent igbos. Very same way we have it the yorubas and other tribes.

My wife is igbo for your information, and I know I married a vewel.

Hmm

If it is actually that hard to produce, then it will be so easy for governments of countries like Mexico to stop the production of cocaine, or don't you think so?

The truth remains that the government of Mexico from the top to the police is complicit in the whole deal. Don't let them decieve you.

Olasyke:
All I know is that someone is catching a bullet for this.

There are many cartels in Mexico, it could be any one. It could even be that the drugs weren't from mexico. Maybe Cuba or Chile or Colombia.

$11 million is small to them. For this $11 million shipment wey dem sieze, there's a hundred million more wey don pass/ wey go still pass this week.

War on drugs is stupid, as long as the world is still running, people would still want to get high.

Well I beg to disagree with ur last paragraph. War against crime is not stupid, even though we know it cannot eliminate it completely, we know it will help reduce it.

Do you know the number of people who die daily from the use/abuse of these drugs on the streets of US?

Na you sabi APC supporter, may you experience what students and lecturers are suffering right now. Bye

All Nigerian politicians are corrupt, be it APC, PDP or even LP. I speak up against them all. I speak up for truth without sentiments.

The day you learn to be free of emotions and sentiments, then u will truly be free

My brother you heard COMPLETELY WRONG. I did not say Christ will come next month, I said Christ will come any moment between now and 20th January 2017, any moment between now and then. Read the thread above

Ehen. Interesting

Because you can't magically will the refineries to work. You have to invest billions of dollars to repair the moribund refinery to working condition.

Yar Adua reversed the sale of two refineries sold to Dangote by the Obj administration at the price of $750 million.
If Yar Adua hadn't done that, Dangote wouldn't have needed to build a new refinery from scratch.
He would have just repaired the ones he bought and by now he would have been refining our fuel.
Today, nobody would buy those refineries for even $250 million cos they're too old.

Yar Adua is praised as our best President since 1999 but he's not. He's a big flop that should never have happened..

He also reversed the sale of the Ajaokuta steel to an Indian company without reading the clause and now Nigeria FG is to going to pay $450 million to the company.

Same mistake he did by signing an unrealistic agreement with ASUU that's affecting us till today.

Back to the refinery.
Due to subsidy, Nigerian Government pays part of the money that we are supposed to pay for fuel for us. By doing that, fuel is cheap. But at a cost.
The money Nigeria suppose use for maintenance and servicing of the refineries are all spent on subsidy. That is what made all our 3 refineries to die off.

So if you want our refineries to work instead of us importing fuel you should be praying that the Govenrnment end fuel subsidy.

You have spoken well, and I just punched the like button since I agree with you on a lot you have said. However you are forgetting one part of the equation. CORRUPTION.

Removing the fuel subsidy is indeed the way to go but in the end what still happens to the monies? Will they not claim rat are them up this time around?

You see we can make excuses for lack of funds and all as being the reason why our refineries are moribund till date, but truth be told any corrupt free government with ready will would have faced the refineries (even if it meant borrowing billions to do so) a long time ago.

CheapHomes1:


You didn't even read the screenshot you posted because the last line said "a good government will explain this".

If the govt which isn't good hasn't explained the situation, then inflation and cost of production is the issue but simple sincerity

Since you cant comprehend. I give it to you.

NezzyMike:




Just imagine how you are pampering the wicked looters that you pay your taxes to without any tangible infrastructure to show for it. This is shameful, don't worry 2023 will be promax inflation since the govt is doing well.

Well the govt has introduced poverty to a high percentage of people and so most do not know their human rights. The other countries use the taxes from the masses to develop their countries, equip their Universities, pay their staff well and provide security too. But your own politicians or govt want to choke you to death with wicked policies and looting.

The day you stop being emotional you will have some better peace and joy.

No one is pampering the wicked government. We rebuke them for their wrongs at every opportunity we get, but that doesn't mean we should be unrealistic and want to join in the looting we speak up against.

Corruption is bad, and it is not only in the government. We as citizens also perpetuate it.

So the same way we speak against it in government is the same way we should speak up against it when members of the citizen are engaging in it.

CheapHomes1:


What has inflation and cost of production got to do with govts insincerity?

I shouldn't be replying you since it seems you have forgotten the origin of the entire talk

The person asked for an explanation from the government on how price grew from 86.5 naira in 2015 to 180 naira today.

I only gave an answer to that. It's your problem if u conclude that the government is being completely Insincere.

CheapHomes1:


What has it got to do with govts insincerity?

Govt insincerity is a constant factor. Your petrol price is subject to inflation. Whether they remove subsidy or not.

CheapHomes1:


What has inflation and cost of production got to do with govts insincerity?

It is the reason why u can't expect price of petrol to still remain at 85 naira per litre since 2015.

SpecialAdviser:
The very big question to ask is " How did we increase petrol price from 86.5 naira in 2015 to as much as N180 per litre now without removing subsidy?"

A good government will first explain this.

The truth you are failing to put into consideration is that inflation is constant worldwide. The cost of production of any commodity in 2015 is at least x3 or x4 presently in today 2022. A lot of variables are at play here. And petroleum can't be exempted from this inflation.

To begin with, understand that petrol is a worldwide commodity and the government imports it. So ask yourself the question, how much is petrol sold for per litre in various countries and then go ahead to convert it to naira.

That will let u know the real price we ought to be paying for petrol.

Rip

I am used to planting potatoes using the vine cuttings.

drfasam:


Then they'll start a fresh session

I don't seem to be getting this line of thought. So maybe u will throw more light on it.
Because when I was in school I know for certain that time lost during strikes was never recovered.

The lecturers cannot skip 6months of lectures and examination, it's not possible. We have lost years to strikes. Due to strike I graduated a year later than I ought to.

So lets try to analyse this.

If students were in first semester before the strike began, and by now they ought to be at the end of the second semester, how do u think the school will cover up such loss?

Cus what I know is if school resumes today, first semester continues from where it stopped. U cannot skip the process.

9jatriot:
I do not know about private universities, but I know for doctors that teaching hospitals pay more than private hospitals.
We like to paint government in bad light but if you really analyze the number of employees they pay every month, you will really pity them

You have said the simple fact.

The truth remains that the government is paying far more than any employer of labour in this country(except maybe multinationals) and in truth they are paying for next to zero returns.
Go to all government parastatal across the country both state and federal and you will see what is at play.

Yes we deserve better governance, but please understand that the government is not father Christmas.

You cant continue to share national cake and claim it is your right. Just because u hear some people are stealing in government. Have u not also been stealing at your own level?

Take a realistic look at things as a business owner and you will understand the government attimes.

Before u compare urselves with the pay in other developed countries, know for certain things are not same there. Your expense are not same so also your pay cannot be same. We just have to be realistic.

NezzyMike:



If you ain't blind, you should know this government are looters who have silenced people with hunger and hardship. If a politician puts mouth, EFCC will open his book.

Have a great day and greet your APC.

Emotional being

This isnt the only looting government . All government from the inception/creation of thia country has been looting the country dry.

Yes this particular government are looking far worse, but wait till u see the next. Then you and i can decide which is worse.

ASUU isnt just striking today. Every tenure and government it keeps happenigg. The way out for past government had always been that they will be promised future date afyer which they resume. For how long do we want to continue with such moves?

NezzyMike:



You are to embark on the research, since they are good to earn millions without work, they should pay those that are working sizeable amount. Stupid government with blind followers

[center][/center]


Now u are getting all emotional and unneceserily abusive. I am no supporter of the governmnt. We all know the government is "bad", and we speak against them. But it wont stop us from equally speaking up against "bad" actions of some few masses.

I only asked a question. Why hasnt lecturers in private universities gone on strike since they are paid less than their counterparts in federal universities?

NezzyMike:



So a man that left his country to teach will earn less than 400k, you are really funny Sha.

You are not ready to do the needed research.
You are only interested in sticking to your assumptions. Weldone.

I am not in the lecturing line, although i work with universities across the country and for that reason know what is aplicable. I can tell you for certain all lecturers in private universities wont think twice if offered a job in a federal university.
That is the fact

NezzyMike:



Really, so a professor in Igbinedion earns below 400k. Do you even know people from other countries teach the students? Do you know gov and private schools outside Nigeria are of the same standard? Chai

Smiles. It is apparent you dont know the salary scale and benefits lecturers in government universities enjoy far superceeds that of those in private universities.

I will enjoin you to do the needed research before arguing.

NezzyMike:




The salaries are not the same because it is privately owed, the founder knows how important education is. Buhari and his cohorts do not value education even with the oil well money they keep sharing.

You have not said the complete truth. The salary are not same. Yes.
The truth is lecturers in government owned universities are still far better paid than those in so called privately owned schools.

Now are they both not in the same country,
and Facing the same ecomomic woes?

Why haventh the lecturers in the private universities gone on strike?
