I hope any ranching method will be for the locals and not fulani

Where is the revelation? She is merely stating her challenges and nothing more. Her success story so far, does appear misleading and missing a lot of details.

How she found herself in a position to secure an oil block is the more interesting story.

Lord lugard secured the future of his empire, same thing the black man cant do.

lord lugard on the black man
"Through the ages, the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural. He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility - he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and defects of his race -type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy. Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future"

What a scathing observations. Unfortunately some of his views still holds true till today.

Jheez. This is so sad. Giving up yourself to prostitution is bad enough but charging #700 for it is tragic.
My heart goes out to the poor lady.

15% inflation? Damn

I am into engineering and I do not subscribe to the assumptions that your average villager has a 5kva load. The biggest generator you will see in the village is 850 value I pass my neighbour. I don't know where you are getting these delusions that villagers are well heeled energy hogs with disposable income.

Go and read up on the village of lissa in Ogun state. That's where Bell view airlines crashed. There were a lot of reports after of the grinding poverty in the area.

That is a village, not the hamlet of your imagination

You might be into engineering but you don't sound like it (at least for electrical engineering). Firstly, where have i said the average villager use 5kva, even lagos doesn't have an ADMD of 5KVA? Your fellow nl member have done some basic deductions per each domestic, so i suggest you read it again and stop arguing on what you have no idea about. Anyways, good luck.

oyb:
It is not about proximity. What do you think the average income is in those places?

So you think 10% of that total household cannot boast of a basic domestic amenity? I feel uneasy btw having to explain why 85kW isn't appropriate for a 400+ properties. In a community of that size at least one or two house will have commercial electrical equipment like machine to grind pepper etc.

Simply ridiculous assumption if you are into physcis or engineering. The voltage drop (even with 300mm LV cable)will definitely be more than 20%, which is another loss on the network. You also need to consider the fact, in worsening sunlight conditions, the ability to deliver current is dramatically reduced (even though the open-circuit terminal voltage are normally constant at nominal voltage)

oyb:
They are villagers;their energy requirements are not significant. Basic lighting is all

I would imagine the villages in Ogun state to be a bit different from other villages in Nigeria due to its close proximity to Lagos. I am pretty sure some of the villagers will have some basic amenities like fridge, iron, TV etc. Therefore, in order for it to work you need to restrict each user to 2 x bulb lighting which is a bit unrealistic and pointless.

Nnamaka1:
85kwP for 487 households means each house can only get an average of 174 watts of electric power. Enough to power a 32inch led TV , 1 ceiling fan , led bulbs, mobile fone charging.

I wonder how many billions they quoted for this project.

The voltage drop will be immense and it's simply not economical either way. Anyways, a good practice is to design your network for diversified load. Unless you're going to limit each house usages by installing smaller cut out than the typical 100A cut out, all it takes is some few houses to switch on fridges and Ac and then you'll be in trouble.

buffalowings:
Just researched wella
1MW will supply between 400 and 600 homes

So how does 1MW equals 85kW?.

DerideGull:
It depends on the consumption rates of the 400 properties.

Irrespective of the consumption rate the load is ridiculous for 400 odd properties.

buffalowings:
I join you in calling bullshit

Maybe he meant 85MW

85MW is the kind of power i would expect a Nigerian governor to celebrate as it can successfully supply 10s of thousands of properties.

How can 85kW supply over 400 properties? Even with a diversified load this is well off the mark.

No one or situation is worth dying for in my opinion. RIP man.

buffalowings:
Why malcom x?

I just finished reading an interesting book called "I hear my people singing" by Kathryn Watterson. Malcom x is the sign of the times we black people are living in. Therefore, his most famous quote "By any means necessary" is something we might need to go back to.

Too much propanganda to know what the hell is going on.

NIGERIANS OPEN YOUR EYES, THIS MAN ON THE SEAT OF PRESIDENCY IS NOT BUHARI. HE IS AN IMPOSTER FROM SUDAN!!
The cabal thought they would use the brain of how many million people in Nigeria for their own advantage. BUHARI died in London of which the Queen paid condolence to Nigeria. Aisha the wife came back to Nigeria crying. The cables sailed it and got an imposter from Sudan to replace him. One of the promises to Sudan is to graze their cattle in Nigeria. That is why you see herdsmen everywhere now in the Southern Nigeria. Killing our people rootlessly and no body is talking. The presidency cannot do anything because that is what the cabals promise him. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF WHY THE PRESIDENT COULD NOT ENTER HIS OFFICE UPON RETURN FROM LONDON? This is because his fingerprints can not open the presidency office in Asorock. So they lied to the whole nation that it is a rat in the office. So they can get the door replaced. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF WHY THE PRESIDENCY IS RELUCTANT TO THE KILLINGS DONE BY HERDSMEN? BECAUSE THAT IS THE AGENDA AND THE PROMISE MADE TO HIM.
Nigerians should rise up. STOP TALKING AND ACT. THAT MAN IS NOT BUHARI. COMING THIS 2019 ELECTION HE WILL BRING HIS PEOPLE FROM SUDAN AND THE HERDSMEN TO VOTE YOU OUT. WHETHER YOU VOTE OR NOT. HE WILL WIN.
NIGERIA SHOULD DEMAND FOR THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE REMAINS OF BUHARI AND WHY THE IMPOSTER? IF THE CABALS DENY IT. NIGERIAN INTELLECTUALS SHOULD ORGANISE AN OPEN INTERVIEW WITH THE IMPOSTER AND GET THEIR ANSWER.
THIS IS THE PLAN OF THE CABALS, AND THE EUROPE COUNTRIES KNOWS ABOUT IT.
THEY WANTED TO TRY IT WITH YARA' DUA BUT IT DID NOT WORK. NOW IT WORKED FOR THEM WITH BUHARI. BUT I TELL YOU. THAT IS THE HIGHEST MISTAKE THE CABALS HAVE DONE. BECAUSE THE TRUTH DO NOT SINK FOR LONG.
THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT WHEN NIGERIANS START NOTICING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE IMPOSTER AND THE REAL BUHARI. START ASKING QUESTIONS AND ORGANISE AN OPEN INTERVIEW WITH THE IMPOSTER TO DISTRESS HIM AND THE CABALS.
THE TRUTH MUST BE TOLD.
WHERE IS BUHARI?

Lol... there's nothing you won't see on nl

Wtf is going on in Nigeria.

For the life of me, It is unthinkable that in a country of nearly two hundred million that cattle and cattle rearing should be the president’s number one priority. when the economy, unemployment, poor health facilities, education infrastructure are all in their worst states.

In retrospect, the president attitude to the massacre in Benue marked the end of any little favourable views i had about Buhari.

Secondly, it's pathetic that a state governor is having to beg in order to seek protection for his people.
For what it's worth, the whole situation has shown that national police force in it's present form can never work in a multicultural country like Nigeria as it's susceptible to federal abuse. Historically, state abuse are generally more manageable with water tight/black and white laws.

State police formations will be more penetrative and wide spread as well as more community-friendly, relative to the President puppet organisation you call police force.

I don't take that story literally. However, I think the story make an interesting keen observation about human birth (something I can't be bothered to discuss on this thread).

Anyways, what I would say is that painful birth is an exception, not the rule, among the animal community. Humans do have an especially laborious and intense birth process due to the relative size of the human head to the birth canal. Most animals do not have such a "tight fit", and although some species do indeed have a somewhat painful birth experience, most do not have nearly as hard a time of it as humans do.

This is not meant in any way to suggest that the Christian logic as to why we have painful births is correct, but the question is operating on a slightly misinformed basis.

Religion is a personal thing, so each to their own.

Yoruba shall be great again. We do have a rich history.

omonnakoda:
Anyone who knows anything about stocks knows this is simply a correction reaction

many dumped the stocks 2 years ago, bought dollars using their connectionsite in government and when the market crashed they came in again

When your currency loses so much value in such a short time you have to contextualise such performance claims
Now we see why the IF insists we devalued our naira so they can come in and buy these assets cheaply
The stock market is not magic. Ultimately the underlying asset has to deliver value.
Is our economy growing by 40%??
If not then 40% growth in the stock market indicates correction from over correction or a bubble
The real question is what is the growth in the stock market over the last 5 years in real terms

Absolutely agree with this post. Like you said, the recent surge is more an indication of the stock's price bottoming out after the massive selloff. Understandably, I can understand why some folks are very quick to credit the present government.

A lot of posters on this thread are either being disingenuous or ignorant.

This is a really good and interesting letter. Wow, impressed.

Let's be honest, Nigerians are just are bad as the South Africans. You only need to see the handling of fulani herdsmen and the never ending apologist.

This is sad. This lady has a weird body. Each to their own.

What's the reasoning behind this? An igbo man can never be as passionate about Yoruba's affairs like a Yoruba would. This is more like a PR exercise.

FOLYKAZE:
Churches and religious organizations are generally exempt from income tax and receive other favorable treatment under the tax law; however, certain income of a church or religious organization may be subject to tax, such as income from an unrelated business.

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1828.pdf

Considering income tax from donations constitutes the largest percentage of church income, I find it disingenuous of you to lump it together with business sales.
Lagos state wants to tax both income and sales tax which is wrong IMO.

FOLYKAZE:
Is Buhari not paying tax too? He earns salary after tax has been deducted.

And where is the evidence that Yusuf medical bill is offset from tax money? You guys just real out garbage from your anu just to prove a point.

On the principle of equity, the Church and Mosque is a business avenue which must be taxed. In UK, churches and religion centres are been taxed. This is because most full term pastors and bishops are been paid salary. The church earn revenue from every possible means. Either by selling religion items or offering money for special prayers. All these are no different from corporate organizations that render services or Industries that sells manufactured products which are taxed.

The Church property like every other Business properties should be taxed. The Sales revenue and Salaries of Pastors should be taxed too. There should no exception because both Church and it operators earn money. There is money flow that is taxable. These pastors or whatever they tag themselves should pay income tax just like every person. And the church which makes money from the congregation should also pay tax just like every other business or institution

This is incorrect. In UK, Churches and mosques (including other registered charities)are not required to pay tax on donations. As a matter of fact, you can claim an extra 25p for every £1 a tax payer give to the church or mosque.

The whole point is to avoid double taxation as was rightly mentioned by another poster. A better solution is to do what UK does by forcing the churches and mosques to be transparent with their incomes.

HauteReel:
Wow! Your grammar has really improved. You keep this up for five consecutive posts and I promise I'll be crushing on you again. But no dictionaries; don't use dictionaries.

There is nothing more cringy than a dumb pretentious prick. I tell you what, if you are going to troll you need to master the Art.

HauteReel:
You were my NL crush until I realized you had no common sense. Just look atchew!

You're welcome to that view. I'll be more concerned if you had said otherwise.

Madness.

Western culture you call it. Why are you typing with a.western made phone ? You see how you clip your wings yourself ? You lot are selective in your judgement .

You need to appropriate your reasoning if you can't see the flaw in your argument.

why do you choose a profession that denies your religious clothing. you had choice.

my religion doesn't let me be a prostitute, so I leave that occupation

hello?

You are having a bad attempt at a cheap shot. Who said I was a Muslim in the first place? I am not in the mood to school you so I'll let you off.

Fyi, my issue is with the inconsistency behind the reasoning of the law.

You don't have to be a Muslim to see that this is a legitimate protest. Defending an adoption of western culture i.e Lawyers wig, rope and dressings, while criticizing an Islamic dress is a master piece of hypocrisy.
