PoliticsRe: Kidnappers Kill Daughter, Release Mother After ₦‎10 Million Ransom In Ekiti by Earthstorms(m): 4:12am On Sep 05, 2024
Hotepking:
Kidnappers kill daughter, release mother after N10m ransom in Ekiti
5th September 2024

One of the travellers kidnapped on Saturday along the Emure-Eporo Road in Emure, Ekiti State, has been killed, PUNCH Metro gathered on Wednesday.

The victim, identified as Shile Ogunmolasuyi, a recent secondary school graduate, was abducted alongside her mother, Mrs Yemi Ogunmolasuyi.

The kidnappers later released Yemi and another woman, Caroline Taiwo, whose husband, Oluwole Taiwo, was killed during the abduction last week Wednesday.

According to family members, who spoke with our correspondent on Wednesday, the victims were released after a N10m ransom was paid.


A community leader in Emure, who spoke with one of the victims, said Shile was killed after being repeatedly raped, which left her unable to walk.

“The kidnappers made them walk for 24 hours nonstop without food or water. Shile, who had been raped several times, became too weak to continue and was subsequently killed by the kidnappers,” the community leader said.

The victims were abducted around 5:30 PM on Saturday near Oyimo River, along the Emure-Eporo Road.

The kidnappers shot and killed Taiwo Oluwole, who was driving the car transporting the victims to Akure after an event in Emure.

Sources revealed that the kidnappers initially demanded a N30m ransom around 8 PM on Sunday.

However, the families were able to raise N10m, which was delivered at a spot on the Owo-Ikare-Benin Road in Owo, Ondo State.

The captives were later released around 1:30 AM on Wednesday in Owo.

“Efforts are reportedly underway to locate Shile’s body and recover her remains”, said one of the family members.

The Secretary of Emure Progressives Association, Niyi Awopetu, confirmed the release of the victims, stating, “Two people were released at midnight, but a girl among them was killed. I learnt the kidnappers collected N10m ransom.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Sunday Abutu, did not respond to calls or messages from our correspondent seeking his reaction to the development.

PUNCH Metro reported that some pupils and teachers of Apostolic Faith Children School were kidnapped at the same spot on January 29.

Five pupils, three female teachers and a driver of the school bus were kidnapped.

Mrs Atinuke, wife of a retiree, Albert Adanikin, was also kidnapped on July 13 around the same area.

https://punchng.com/kidnappers-kill-daughter-release-mother-after-n10m-ransom-in-ekiti/
I think each community that is plagued by this kidnapping rubbish need to buy surveillance drones armed with normal cameras and infrared cameras.

At least they can use the drones to locate the kidnappers and their victims and relay the information in real time to local vigilantes and the police.

If a kidnapper knows that his location can be known and he can be tracked from the air, then this kidnapping business will be curtailed.

Drones are not that expensive and can even be built locally.

AgricultureRe: DIY Oil Palm Nursery Setup by Earthstorms(m): 1:27pm On Aug 10, 2024
nurey:
The parent stock is initially from nifor
Still wrong move to plant the offspring of the parent stock.

At best you will get 50% tenera, 25% dura and 25% pisifera. This ratio is even if the parent plant was pollinated by another tenera. If it is pollinated by a dura palm, then the tenera ratio will drop lower.

And there is no way of knowing which is which until they are mature. So you will just waste years raising palms that will not give you the yield that you are expecting.

Don't be penny wise, go for Nifor or other certified seeds and be sure of what you are planting.

Note that I do not work for any seed company. Just a friendly advice.

RomanceRe: 'I Need A Husband': What Do You Think About This New Behavior Among Women? by Earthstorms(m):
docdes:
I've been seeing cases of our women advertising their need for husbands. What do you think about it?
This shows one of the negative side of modern living.

Our forefathers married many wives and also families arranged marriage for their children. This largely ensured that majority of the women had husbands.

Today, polygamy is frowned at and arranged marriage is seen as a taboo by many.

The young ladies are now expected to source for husbands by themselves and some fail to get husbands.

Also many young men can not afford to marry because the financial requirements exceeds their capabilities unlike in the old days where the financial requirements to raise a family is very low.

HealthRe: Man Cries Out As He Shows Off 1000 Bags Of Water He Uses To Bathe In Lekki by Earthstorms(m): 5:14am On Jun 16, 2024
He should buy a GP tank and be buying water from water tankers.

That is what I do anytime I am around.

When I moved to Lekki in 2019 I knew very little about Lagos and next to nothing about Lekki. I chose to stay in Lekki because it was close to my new place of work on Lagos Island.

I was shown borehole and water treatment plant in the compound.

First shocker after moving in was that the water coming from the bathroom tap was very muddy, I took it that it was because the house must have been vacant for some time and maybe sediments from the water system must have settled on the water pipes.

Allowing the water to flow for sometime improved the water colour but it did not become totally clear.

Next mistake I made was going into the shower to bath. It turns out the water was teaming with disease causing bacteria. Bathing with it was tantamount to soaking yourself in seriously polluted water. I learnt the hard way when the water borne illnesses started to show up.

The 3rd mistake I made was using the water from the sink to wash my dishes. Big mistake. It was essentially like dipping your dishes in contaminated water. Eating with the washed dishes means injesting disease pathogens from the contaminated water.

So the safe way I found out when living in Lekki is to buy water from water tankers, add chlorine to the water and use that for washing and bathing.

Then use packaged water for drinking and cooking.
Use the borehole water only for flushing toilet as the borehole water is already contaminated with faeces underground. Ensure that you have chlorinated water to use in washing your hands to sterilize your hands anytime to touch the water. If you fail to do that then expect to treat typhoid fever.

I use the borehole water for the washing machine but always wash at 90 degrees C to ensure the all germs gets killed during washing of my clothes.

Living in Lekki is paying lots of money to live in a glorified slum.
BusinessRe: Biggest Mess Created In 2023 Was Naira Devaluation From N460 To N1,400-Dangote by Earthstorms(m): 8:14pm On May 01, 2024
MEEVEET:
The sad thing is we are still defending the naira

We are still paying subsidies ( but way of NNPC taking massive losses)

So what did Tinubu achieve by those ill planned policies?

You guys amaze me.

You are asking what Tinubu achieved with the naira devaluation. Don't you really know that the FG is making massive gains by the naira devaluation?

Let me explain.
1st once there is loser in any policy, know that there is a winner.

The devaluation negatively affected those who earn in naira and have expenses in foreign currency. The food industries like Dangote sugar that import sugar from foreign countries in dollars and sell locally in Naira are at the receiving end of the naira devaluation.

Those who earn in foreign currency and spend in naira gained greatly from the naira devaluation. That is where the gains of the FG comes in. They sell crude oil in dollars and pay workers salaries and contracts execution in naira.

When dollar was 460 naira to a dollar, export of 1 million dollar worth of crude oil will give the FG 460 million naira when the dollars is sold to Nigerians. That same 1 million dollars worth of crude oil will give the FG 1.4 billion naira after the naira has been devalued to 1400 naira to 1 dollar.

So the FG is getting almost 3 times the naira it used to get from the same volume of crude oil after the naira devaluation. So the FG is gaining massively from the naira devaluation while those who use imported goods and services are losing money because of the naira devaluation.

RomanceRe: A Heart Piercing Truth For Ladies by Earthstorms(m): 6:21am On Apr 25, 2024
Darevofpeace:
This evening, I overheard a conversation between two ladies as I happened to be seated near them. Their discussion centered on the topic of choosing between a man with financial means and one without. Both women held strong opinions on why they could never envision building a life with a financially struggling man, they asserted.

I want to make it clear that I'm not passing judgment on them. Whatever aspirations they harbor for themselves are entirely valid. If they aspire to marry a wealthy and accomplished man, that's their prerogative. However, it prompted me to engage in a dialogue with myself. As someone who often finds solace in introspection, I posed the question, "Is there anything inherently wrong with embarking on life with a man who lacks financial resources?" My response was a firm no. This led me to ponder further, "Can a financially struggling man ultimately achieve success?" Again, my answer was affirmative. Consequently, I asked myself, "What qualities should a woman look for in a man before embarking on a life journey with him when he possesses little to no financial stability?"

To be frank, there are numerous factors to consider, and I'll share them with you. It's essential to acknowledge that there's nothing wrong with starting anew with a man. However, the success of such a venture hinges on the character and qualities of the individual you choose, as not all men are suited for such a journey.

Here are some crucial traits I believe every woman should assess when contemplating building a life with a man:

His Work Ethic: As a woman, you should pay close attention to his approach toward tasks assigned to him. I recall a personal experience where I parted with a man that I loved due to his chronic procrastination and laziness. He would rather spend hours on series than get things done and he doesn’t mind spending the whole day lounging in bed, offering excuses for unfinished tasks. This behavior hinted at a lack of responsibility and a tendency to avoid accountability, with the hope that success would magically materialize one day.

His Dreams and Aspirations: A woman should observe how a man articulates his dreams, how he paint grandiose visions of the future and the bigger picture without minding the reality of now. You should beware of individuals who lack drive or a clear vision. A man with genuine ambition will share his goals and exhibit a strategic approach to realizing them.

His Definition of Success: Recognize that success is subjective. It's essential for women to recognize that not all men aspire to wealth and material possessions; what constitutes success for one may not be deemed as such by another. Some men are content with basic necessities, a roof over their heads and a job to sustain them without any aspirations beyond mere survival. Conversely, others seek more than just getting by, they aim to provide their children with top-tier education, reside in affluent neighborhoods, drive luxury cars, invest for the future, establish businesses, and indulge in global travel for leisure. I once encountered a man who questioned the need to strive for material abundance, stating, "Why struggle for possessions that we'll eventually leave behind? As long as I have food, clothing, and a job, I'm content." His perspective made it clear to me that he and I weren't aligned in our desires. Personally, I aspire more than mere sustenance; I seek a life enriched with opportunities, experiences, and abundance for myself and my future family.

His Social Circle: It's a known fact that the company we keep greatly influences our lives. The size of one's wallet may not be relevant in this context, but the quality of one's associations holds paramount importance. This isn't something to directly inquire about; rather, it's something to observe as a woman. Take a closer look at his closest companions. Are they individuals engaged in legitimate endeavors, building their lives with integrity? Or do they engage in questionable activities, such as fraud or excessive drinking and womanizing? Are they individuals of substance? By examining the company he keeps, you can gain valuable insights into the character and future trajectory of the man in question.

His Attitude Toward Money: How does he perceive wealth, and what is his approach to earning it? Does he value the dignity of labor, or does he constantly seek shortcuts or embrace a Ponzi-like mentality? Is he patient, willing to sow seeds and patiently nurture them to fruition, or does he prefer instant gratification? His approach to financial matters speaks volumes about his character.

If a man harbors unrealistic expectations of sudden wealth or displays a lack of commitment to legitimate means of earning, it's unwise to embark on a life journey with him. Such a partnership is likely to lead to frustration and disappointment in the long run.

Family Dynamics: While it may seem unconventional, I pay close attention to family patterns. One striking observation I made in my ex’s family was the stark contrast in work ethic between the genders. The women in the household exhibited remarkable diligence and ambition. Even his youngest sibling, still in university, managed a successful business alongside her studies. In contrast, the four men in the family appeared content with a more laid-back lifestyle.

My suspicions were confirmed when I visited their home and heard his mother proudly claim, "I raised all my children single-handedly." I realized that marrying into such a family would inevitably place the burden of financial responsibility solely on my shoulders, as it seemed ingrained in their family dynamic that women should be the primary providers and hustler, a man raised in such family cannot suddenly change.

Lastly, individuals who evade work under the guise of divine calling “God has called me to full-time ministry" or rely on the notion of "miracle money" should be approached with caution. I'm acquainted with someone in a marriage with such a man, who absolves himself of household responsibilities, claiming that God hasn't directed him to work, leaving the burden on his wife's shoulders. It's prudent to steer clear of religious men who shirk their earthly duties, believing that divine intervention exempts them from work.

In conclusion, my dear sisters, there's no shame or taboo in building a life from scratch with a partner. However, the success of such a venture hinges on the character and values of the individual you choose. So, observe and choose wisely.

Nice writeup

Just that the bit on vision is not very clear cut.

What vision can a young man in a 3rd world country have?
The vision will be blurry at best since there are so many uncertainties to contend with. Just that a man with drive will more likely be able to surmount obstacles in life, so even without a clear cut vision, having drive and a target of success should count even if the young man can not articulate a clear vision on how to achieve success.

AutosRe: CNG For Domestic Use by Earthstorms(m): 10:47am On Mar 23, 2024
GAZZUZZ:
I just completed this CNG retrofit on a 2009 Ford F150 with a V8 4.6L natural aspirated Engine .

The vehicle is now fitted with 3 CNG tanks with a combined capacity of 165L (48 SCM @210bar)

Vehicle now boasts of 300km Highway travel on 48SCM which is an equivalent of ₦9600 @ ₦200 per SCM. For better description the distance of Lagos to Benin is about 295km.

Now this is nothing new to CNG retrofits as it brings down the cost of fueling most vehicles by 70% in ₦.

What is unique about this vehicle is it's ability to provide Natural Gas for external use for equipment like Generators, and cooking utensils.

This again brings down the cost of powering your petrol powered gen by about 70%.

In place of LPG it is currently 200% cheaper to burn Natural gas as against LPG.

We have an abundance of natural Gas reserves in Nigeria , hopefully we can all tap into this God given free gift to lower our expenses.

God bless Nigeria.

PoliticsRe: NERC Fines 11 DISCOs N10.5bn Over Overbilling Of Unmetered Customers by Earthstorms(m): 8:59am On Feb 10, 2024
nairalanda1:
Well, the reason why they overbill estimated bills holders is because the massive losses from charging non cost reflective tarrifs and power theft means that discos are forced to use unorthodox means or to put it bluntly rip off estimated billing people to make enough money to break even.

All this is as a result of price controls on the power sector.

The reason why i support free markets is simple. Put limits on a man's ability to make a profit, anarchy results.

Nerc is just fining these guys without adressing the tarrif issue and power theft issue.treating the symptoms without treating the disease, because treating the disease means high tarrifs which means apc gets voted out.
Your position is not correct.

The discos do not generate electricity, they buy electricity at an agreed unit price and sell to consumers at a higher unit price than they bought it for.

So their profit is already factored into the difference between the cost they bought and the cost they are to sell a unit of electricity.

What the discos should address is energy losses in the distribution system that they can not charge for and prevention of electricity theft.

Energy losses in the distribution system is a function of the distribution equipment deployed by the discos, so it is up to the discos to deploy more efficient equipment.

Energy theft should be very minimal if they are serious with ensuring effective metering and monitoring of consumption. It is the responsibility of the discos to protect their electricity from being stolen and for getting electricity thieves arrested.

The discos can not simply pass the cost of energy losses due to their inefficient equipment and energy theft due to their inefficient monitoring, to unmetered customers. Note that many unmetered customers are unmetered because the discos failed to supply the required meters. So billing such customers more for no fault of the customer is wrong and criminal.
