Career / Re: Tech Job Or U.K Fully Funded Scholarship by donpata(m): 6:24pm On Aug 07, 2023
I will advise you to take the UK option brother. Once there, develop yourself further by building capacity. U can do things in bioinformatics. While in UK, you can do side jobs to gather some cash. u can easily save 200k from your side jobs in UK after expenses. In naija, that's what you will use for expenses. What's the guarantee that that company's offer will remain over the course of time? No be govt job wey get guarantee ohh.

I watched the REC and I wonder the guts the guy had to do that. Obviously, he knows BUHARI will protect him since most of the RECs are politicians and not career people. No shame, no fear, sheer impunity, doing what you are not empowered by law to do. Honestly, under Buhari, the laws of the land have been dragged in the mud

The fact you said Kachia have little votes shows you don't know what you are saying. APC has rigged the election in their favor already. All the four have been picked by PDP but may not cover the advantage APC has. Asake's insistence on continuing probably nailed PDP.

INEC needs to employ permanent staff as PO1 and PO2s or Employ them like 6months to elections. Picking some people days to the election to come and conduct an important process like this is part of the problems we have today. With permanent staff that know their jobs and pensions are at stake, some of the mess we see may not arise.

Phones / Re: How Good Is EASYBUY? by donpata(m): 9:44am On Dec 26, 2022
Used them. Bought a phone of 83k, paid the phone owner 50k and asked easybuy to pay the balance of 33k. For the 33k, I paid around 14.5k for 3months making it abt 43.5k. Meaning I paid about 10k on the 33k the loaned me. That's around 30% in just 3months. I ordinarily wouldn't have done it but I needed a phone. I picked 3 months just to keep the interest low. The longer the term, the higher u end up paying. The loan is about 10% per month so the decision is left for you.

Also, people have said if you miss one day, they will lock the phone. It's possible cos they install a plugin in the phone that "expires" only after you pay the last payment. That plugin also prevents u from activating developer option on ur phone. The process that involves you snapping with the agent and u holding the phone on your hand for them to snap u with it like say you steal am is quite annoying sha.

Politics / Re: Atiku In Katsina Pledges To Address Security, Economy, Donates 50 Million by donpata(m): 7:19pm On Dec 20, 2022
Tinubu is relying on the North when Atiku is there. Hmmm! Southwest votes are almost useless cos they will end up almost cancelling out themselves (well, maybe not since a Yoruba man is on the ballot). It's funny how Afonjas think Tinubu will get wide margin in SW cos he is their own but they in turn think Tinubu will beat Atiku in the North. Lol. Buhari no dey ballot ohh. This election is easy to see.

Atiku will win the South South which is a major voting bloc for PDP. Obi will win SE which has very little votes though. SW will be won by Tinubu but neither Obi or Tinubu can cancel out Atikus advantage in the SS, and the little additions from SE and SW. Last last, Atiku will still win the South.

In the North, Kwankwaso may likely win Kano and pick up votes in Jigawa, Zamfara, Katstina other core northern states but that's about it. Obi will do well in Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa, and other few states where there's a sizable Christian population. But that's just about it.

Tinubu will win Kaduna, Yobe, Bornu and a few diehard APC states but I don't see how Tinubu will come out top above Atiku in the North. Tinubus major problem is overconfidence in apc governors.

Truth is, if not for Obi, this election would be an easy work over for Atiku. Actually, Obi is Atikus major problem not Wike cos Obi will cause Atiku to lose chunks of votes in SE and some Northern Christian voting blocs. Still, if Atiku can handle the Obi impact well, he is good to go. I will still vote Obi though for reason I ain't sure of sef.

Travel / Re: New Kano Three Level Bridge Completed by donpata(m): 10:25pm On Dec 14, 2022
KANO and flyovers. You would think the people eat them. Most Nigerian politicians don't know what long term plan is. They want projects they can easily showcase either to earn them a second term or to provide them an instrument for popularity propaganda. Besides, these capital gulping projects are the sure way of getting more dollars to be put in babanriga.

Ask Ganduje his 5yr plan for eradication of the current system of almajiranchi, and I bet u there's none. Well, the amount of keke in Kano seems to be more than the population sef. Maybe that's why they feel it's important to build these funds consuming projects. Last last though, it may just be a competition - Kwankwaso vs Ganduje with almost zero interest in human capital development.

You see? U don't even understand anything about crypto talk about btc. Your reply exposed you. Go Google what "bitcoin halving" means

Lol. No. U are a mediocre and think by halving, price will automatically double. I don't need google. I'm a Google engine for myself. You need YouTube and experience in training to understand. The value of a coin is based on demand and supply. If u like half or half and quarter a coin, if demand is poor, price won't be favorable. No one can tell you 100% if btc will be here by 2025. People like you are the ones in Binance telegram that will say BTC will NEVER drop to so so so and so. One argued with me like that. Said 17k is lowest and we will see 25k b4 going down. Shey no be btc hit 15k few days ago? I REPEAT, AS FAR AS IT'S CRYPTO, NOTHING IS CAST ON STONE. If in doubt, ask Luna and filecoin warriors. Ohh, what of Solana? Guy, park well.

Chill chairman chill. Convert the remaining usdt to bitcoin and leave it till early 2025. Cos bitcoin will be halved by 2024 and the price will go up to 80-100k dollars. So with your 19k investment it should be at least quadrupled by then. You lucky you have enough capital which is a big advantage. If you like go and do anything otherwise and be expecting fast profits na yiu Sabi.

Lastly you need to understand that bitcoin is highly volatile and unpredictable table so until 2024 there is nothing you will make off it. The only thing you will get is high blood pressure. I have said enough.

If you need more schooling pm my telegram below. But don't forget the most important message. Convert your usdt to bitcoin and leave it till 2025. Best investment method ever.

Dont follow this advice ohh. Nothing is writen on stone in crypto. What if one btc sells for just 5000$ by then?

You bought dollars using crypto. It's not crypto that has caused the loss. It's your lack of financial calculation. Dollar was 600 and jumped to almost 900 due to demand for payment of school fees for foreign admissions. Everyone that pays attention knows that. But i trust before December, you may have the opportunity to sell at a good rate before it crashes. If however you wanna recover your losses in crypto, send me a message. Maybe we can strike a deal. You cant be losing dollars in thousands like that.

Inflation is everywhere.

Support the government instead of criticising them with every little opportunity you have. The government has failed in the area of security but not economy. The whole world is going through its own too.

Can you compare the price of bag of rice in 2015 in the USA to 2022? Just like you ignorant one are comparing the prices of things from 2015-2022 in Nigeria.

Most of you just sit here in Nigeria, criticise the government and politicised everything, oblivious of the present situation around the world. Just last two weeks their was protest across France and it continued this week over this same inflation issues.



You are the olodo here talking nonsense. You are comparing Inflation of 3.5% to that of 300-500%. If $10 in 2015 is now 13$ today, that's a 30% fall. what's the value of 100naira today? 300? 400? 500? Or what? This is a terrible govt. A govt that sits down and watch oil selling at 100$ yet allow production to drop from 1.5mbpd to less thank 700k bpd needs no support.

Obviously, u have a disdain for them since u won't blame the govt that refused to honor agreement.

I completely disagree, it is absolutely wrong for ASUU or any other union for that matter to contravene on a court injunction, the fact that they have gotten away with it in the past doesnt still make it right!
Based on this position the govt can legitmately seek for the disbandment of ASUU and completely overhauling of its members from it services as lecturers.
ASUU should abdolutely not be encourage. The only losers here are the student if ASUU eventual gets paid for a service they didnt render. They must find a way to compensate the students else this is rubbish and will definitely repeat itself in the nearest future.
If u dont see this, i dont know how else to show you.

Place the blame where it should be. If ASUU members go on strike because govt have refused to pay what is due them, should they be penalized? Who then penalizes the govt. U have conveniently refused to blame the govt for the strike in the first place. Maybe you are pro APC. Banning ASUU won't still return normalcy to the Unis. At the end, Buhari is too dull else his intervention should have been b4 they even went on strike and not now. Why should we wait till it it get to strike? Why is govt not proactive? What is 170bill that they can't afford? If they can't haven't signed an agreement in 2020, why didn't they look for ASUU to tell them? Hold govt accountable pls. We have one of the most irresponsible govt in Africa. Look at what is happening in the oil sector with oil theft. When govt is so extremely irresponsible, blame them appropriately not the people that react to such irresponsibility.

My problem with your comment is that you dont read to understand
How will it prolong when it has been compelled by the courts to call it off?

Or is ASUU bigger than the appeal court, lets not condone blatant disregard for the law!

U ain't a student of Nigerian history. From time immemorial, Unions don't obey court orders they take as unfair. How many times has NLC been prevented from strike or protest by NIC and they didn't obey. You think ASUU actually expected a favorable ruling? They just did that to play the game. I repeat that if you actually think that ASUU would have obeyed the ruling without any meaningful offer by govt then u are naive. Moreover, the chief disrespecter of court rulling is the Buhari govt. Instead of you to fault the govt for reneging on agreements which led to the strike, you are dwelling on the strike itself.

Do you want the students to continue staying at home. Ohh, we're u really thinking that ASUU was going to obey the court order? U must be naive to think that.
Religion / Re: Why Is It Unforgivable To Sin Against The Holy Spirit by donpata(m): 9:51am On Sep 18, 2022
The sin against the Holy Spirit is termed blasphemy. The kind of blasphemy is not the one that some people are quick to kill cos someone misspelt the name of their dead god.
It has to do with disregarding or denying the existence or power of the Holy Spirit. Technically, it means you deny the very essence of your salvation and hence, no magic anyone can do to help you.

Business / Re: Nigeria Takes Action Against Unregistered Online Money Lenders by donpata(m): 5:50am On Aug 23, 2022
This report doesn't really capture the situation. Most Microfinance banks in Nigeria give loans at around 3.5-5% monthly interest which translates to between 30 to 60% interest per annum.

Loan sharks on the other hand give between 12-30% per month for the "semi-sensible" ones like (fairmoney, menacredit, umba, etc) thus translating to around 150 - 350% per annum, while the terrible Agbero styled ones like Sokoloan, Lcredit and co give between 50- 150% per month thus translating into around 600-1800% per annum.

It's failure of governance and the corruption of CBN that makes people patronize these criminal organizations. Today, getting a bank loan with fair interest is very difficult especially if one does not earn salary. Loans are given as if they are doing one a favor.

Worst still is the fact that Nigerians generally like awoof. We don't like paying back debt even to family members thus making genuine borrowers skeptical. We really need a robust application of technology to integrate people into this bvn thing and help genuine lenders in recovering their loan repayment easily. We also need the proper regulations that will defeat these loan sharks once and protect consumers
