Politics / Re: El-rufai Meets With Security Agencies Over Situation In Southern Kaduna. by donpata(m): 4:37pm On Jul 28, 2020
All this Eye service no be am. He has refused to discuss with community leaders but always handpicks those who will come for the meetings. He has justified the killings saying it is reprisals over 2011 crisis; a crisis that was state-wide and which was started by Fulanis because a Fulani did not win election. The SK people also suffered serious casualties but no one is talking of retaliation.

After this meeting, he will still go on state-wide radio to say that "a hausa man may forgive but a fulani will not, because even if he can't take revenge, he will tell his children to do so"
How then is a governor like this actually seeking peace? He has taken the position of spokesperson for miyetti Allah.

The only solution to this problem is for the Fulanis to abandon their primitive agenda of fulanization and then for govt to act and stop these acts of terrorism. This ain't some rocket science. It is never farmer herder clash but pure terrorism.

lol. MMM 2.0 loading. This na scam, or better still pure ponzi. If you know, you know. grin
Questions.....
1. To whom do they sell they products cos i believe they've been selling even during lockdown. Even oil price went to 10$ and US shale oil fell to negative cos during lock down, nobody to buy neither was there anyhow to deliver. Sooooo i ask again, who are the thousands buying the so called products?

2. It seems the 10 days is fixed. Somebody must buy your "product" anyhow anyhow. lol. In real world business, we know that aint always the case. How then do they get to sell the product by fire by thunder every 10days? (Abi na computer robot just dey buy am? Think wink )

3. Almost everyone in VIP level sells same products. so na naija people wey dey hungry just dey buy these overpriced "products" in outrageous thousands of numbers?

4. Alibaba we know. 1688, aliexpress, bangoods we have always known for more than a decade. Where did this one just come from? Established 2008 and we no know am?

5. When did companies start registering with EFCC? Guy..... Think cool

6. What i see here is just another correct ponzi scheme trying to "innovate" on how to scam. Of cos, people that are joining now may start gaining but its just a matter of time b4 it goes the MMM way.

No Ponzi Scheme can ever survive, no matter how long. Even MLM with useless overpriced products always reach their points of death.

Technology Market / Re: Which Inverter Do I Buy? Advice Needed by donpata(m): 1:49pm On Jul 07, 2020
Ur imac could be a power guzzler; probably over 100watts per hour. A small 40k 850va Mopower or Eastman pure sinewave inverter should work. Now, the main thing is battery. A 200ah battery can deliver about 2000watts in an hour. Theoretically, it should power your imac @100watts avg for some 20hrs. That's not the case in real life though. The battery will hardly allow u discharge below 20%. Moreover, it is always advisable that you don't discharge beyond 50% so the battery can last (lifespan). Obviously, by cutting the useable power by 50%, we are down to only 10hrs possible. These are estimates as there are issues with efficiency and all that. When you add other devices like phones,
n light bulbs, u are surely gonna even get lower to say 8hrs.

The only way you can get the 12hr u need in the absence of Nepa is by adding a solar panel. With a panel, the battery is charged as u use so u are technically using the sunlight in the interim b4 the sun "falls."

If you however wanna stick to the initial plan, the 40k EM or MP inverter and a 110-125k 200ah Luminous, SafePower, Sukam. Should do. If u wanna go for Luminous inverters, prepare like 50 to 60k for abt 1000va. Trojan batteries are good but you could spend up to 135k to get them.

The major problem is except you gonna ship through dhl and co, post office shipping is gonna be frustrating in this lockdown. The post office is affected by lockdown so Imagine the backlog they need to clear. I won't ship anything now until in next 4 months. It's frustrating knowing your goods have arrived Nigeria but you can't get it cos of backlog.
Family / Re: After Serving Him Food, He Said I Didnt Give Him Drinking Water by donpata(m): 5:32pm On May 14, 2020
Hathor5:
I think the story is cooked up but let me give you the benefit of the doubt.

When you serve people food, you serve whatever is needed to enjoy the food along with it, be it water to drink, to wash hands, napkins or spoons. If you need someone (your boyfriend) to lend you a helping hand then you simply say "Babe, can you please get the water already?/ Would you please be so kind and get the water?/Can you help me a little please?"

Now I don't know how he asked why you didn't bring them water because the tone matters but the question is justified. Why not? If you feel that you should not bring water because you came to his place sweating then maybe you should not have come in the first place. Doing something for someone you care about should not feel like a sacrifice neither should it stress you. If for some reason his request is inconvenient, you can always say no for whatever reason. You are his girlfriend, not his slave. But please don't do anything and then complain. Give cheerfully or don't give at all. Do what you have to do properly or don't do it at all. If you can only do half, communicate why you want support.

Your choice of words is also revealing. You said that "since morning hes been disturbing" you. If he is such a nuisance, why are you two together?

What I find disturbing about your boyfriend though is that he wants you to cook for his mother at your first visit to his parent's house.

I will go with this. Except if you don't want to marry him, this is how he's going to know a wife material. You don't serve someone food and expect them to go and get water. They could as well just serve themselves. I see no big deal in this cos to me, this is normal. You serve food, you should serve water as well. If you can't, u can simply ask him to do it and not sit expecting it to be so. I think the guy simply expects that as a lady, it should be something u should ordinarily know hence his tone.

Plus let's not pretend not to know that one of a woman's major responsibility to a man is in the kitchen. It's not just an African thing. It's the same even in the Western world we copy. It doesn't make women any less of humans but our roles are different and it has been like this since creation.
To me, but for the tone or manner he spoke, there is nothing special about what he expected of you, girlfriend or wife not withstanding.

@bolded, gives the story away as fake. One man stuffs cloth into mouth without his fingers bitten off. One man tieing hand behind back, and laying the woman on her back. Her hands would surely break, and no mention of that. Sorry. Story is not plausible, even as fiction. It would have been more believable if the woman was drugged.

I tire ohh. Just one man, gagged her and she was begging him, maybe with her hands abi with gestures. Then he went on to tie her hands and like Isaac, she submitted. Then he pulled her trouser, her panties and opened her legs and poured oil and she was still begging. I tire for this girl's story.

Men are physically stronger than women, and a weapon isn't needed to subdue a victim. The man in question is probably bigger than her.
Many dead victims of domestic violence didnt die from a weapon but from the fists of their assaulters.
Some professional boxers have died on the ring during boxing matches, some have been completely knocked out flat. Blows have removed people's teeth due to the force/power behind such blows
The fist was the weapon used.
You heard that he gagged her before proceeding.
Just pray never to find yourself in such a scenario

Oga, the major reason this guy succeeded was cos she let him. He slapped her and that was it. A part of her was still telling her, "he's your bf after all." I still insist that it ain't easy to rape a woman. Even two men will have to struggle to do that. I have seen a video where 3 guys couldn't succeed cos the lady simply didn't let them. I understand she was naive but the earliest attempt is sufficient to force her to leave the house. Even with gagging, she could still scream. Abi he taped her mouth?
I believe less of the story tough.

I hope this is true story. If it is, I hope you find healing soon enough. However, I do wonder how one man will rape a woman without her letting him. Except when weapons are involved, it's almost impossible for one man to rape a woman when she is fully conscious. Imagine having that thoughts for the rest of your life. That's emotional torture and you were unfair to yourself. Tried protecting him from shame and now you gonna carry this for as long as..... Hmmm.

That is why the law of God is written for our safe walk in this world. You went to his house, slept over and was "making out". Now, it's you feeling the pain, and not really God whom you disobeyed. Wish you healing.

Politics / Re: "The Satanic Trinity Of El-Rufai, His Son And His Wife" By Reno Omokri by donpata(m): 8:38pm On Apr 26, 2020
This guy properly captured who Elrufai is. Only people who don't understand his craftiness praise him. A sworn ethnoreligious bigot to the core. I am from Kaduna so I know what I am saying. During the 2019 elections, elrufai was clearly not gonna win the election. He decided to play the religious card. Few months to election, He started by saying he will demolish an entire Christan settlement if they respond to any crisis by blocking the road thus earning him accolades from Muslims who initially swore they won't vote him. Then the worst came.... They imported preachers from Gombe and for the first time since 1999 in Kaduna State, we heard over radio that the election was a Jihad against Christians that every Muslim must pursue. Over radio ohh and nothing was done against the radio station that allowed that. If it had been the other way round, the license of that station would have been revoked same day.

Then now, the moment you cross over river Kaduna to the Southern part of the state, you won't see a sign of anything called government presence. You won't see those caterpillars. Not a single one. Road in the northern part that see no traffic are been duallised while in the Southern part of Kaduna, they don't even grade the muddy roads let alone put that on it. He has now approved 4 new satellite campuses of the Kaduna State University in Kubau, Lere, Birnin Gwari and Makarfi and has even started the process of moving the university to its permanent site in Rigachukun all in the northern section of the State. The annoying thing is that he is doing these capital projects with loans he collected on every citizens head. I see Southerners praising him and I say, " una no go know".

Here in Kaduna, he deals with citizens not indigenes. Make no mistake cos he has some Yorubas and Igbos in his cabinet, that this is great. It's a scheme to allow Fulanis from Mali to take sensitive positions even when many indigenes are qualified. If Elrufai ever becomes a VP, he will render the president irrelevant and scheme to take over. Worst is if he becomes president. Fulanis living longer than 5yrs in Lagos and Enugu will be made ministers representing those states on the guise that he deals with citizens and not indigenes.

Technology Market / Re: A Sincere Review Of Mtn Lumos Solar Electricity by donpata(m): 12:01pm On Apr 06, 2020
SimpleLuxuries:


Hi. I like your detailed info. Please what can a 500W inverter carry?

Basic household electronics have their wattage rating indicated on them and they vary even for same appliance based on differences in technology, size and manufacturer.
I would advice you use Google to look at the basic ratings for common Appliances.
Eg.
A 43 inch modern LED TV could consume abt 80-100watts
A laptop 30-100 watts
Decoder/DVD 20-50watts
Standing fan 50-100watts

The list goes on. Just check the ratings of your alliances and sum them up to get total needs.

1. Yes, the wattage of ur laptop is even insignificant when looking at what solar power can handle. There are small solar systems that power AC's. Your wattage is less than 200 so a small 500watt inverter of about N10k will do (though without nepa charging).

2. There is an inverter with charger attached to it. The cheaper one is about 20k but if you get public power over reasonable hours, I will advice you get a pure sine wave inverter like Eastman or Mopower. Goes for about 40k. It works with Nepa and can do Solar as well.

Lastly, I can't give u a good quote now cos it depends on your budget. However, without a panel, all you need is an inverter and battery. 100ah battery is abt N50k. Fairly good pure sine wave inverter is N40k for about 500watts. Cheaper Modified sine wave (which will still serve you) is abt N20k-N30k. 'China' type will be less. These inverters can charge with Nepa and solar.

However, if you decide to add a solar component to the system, add extra N30K for panel, controller and wires.

Either u look for Nokia 6 or LG G6 on AliExpress. Note that these ones are refurbished ones but they should be good. U can't get new ones close to that. U can also look for redmi 8. At this budget, don't get lured by phones with 3 cameras like umidigi, blackview and co. They are very bad in camera and can't beat the likes of Nokia even with just one camera. If you care less abt camera like me, then u can go for those ones. I am currently using an ulefone p6000 with dual camera but I tell u the cam is rubbish.

Politics / Re: Why Akpabio Withdrew From Senatorial Rerun - PDP by donpata(m): 8:07pm On Dec 13, 2019
abbasajao:
Pls which is bigger between a senator and minister?

A Senator and Minister are almost same. Though cos a minister is a member of executive council, he is closer to the president and wields great powers over a whole federal institution. He gives contracts and could easily facilitate employment of his constituents in his ministry and other ministries headed by friends, u also easily travel abroad to meet counterparts. Your name is heard nationally and internationally almost daily. Soooo, On the surface, it seems the minister is better especially in a good ministry. Deiziani comes to mind. This notwithstanding, the President can wake up on the wrong side of the bed and sack you at anytime Even on the others of his wife. Even Maman Daura can facilitate your sack. Also, most ministers have less grip of the local politics back home.

On the other hand, a Senator is elected. No one can remove him. His four years is sure except if he is recalled by his constituents as attempted on Dino Melaye. He also has a better avenue to interact with the people and get a firm grip of the local politics through constituency projects and appointments of useless aides.

That said, take the position of minister to be a bank job paying you 200k monthly and that of a nurse in a Fed govt hospital recieving 120k monthly. The minister works more and his failure is easily seen. The senator does almost nothing but by sharing rice during Christmas and Sallah, he is praised and seen as a god. Also, while the bank can lay off the former over a flimsy excuse, the latter's job is almost always sure.
