Business › Re: CAC Extends Deadline For Registration By FINTECH Operators by ElevationD: 5:17am On Jul 07, 2024
Ok.

Does CAC have the power to make such pronouncement? How would CAC find out those who have complied with the requirement recently demanded by government? I thought the job of CAC is to register business names. Is it not the job of the law enforcement agents to arrest and prosecute those who have failed to comply? Will CAC hit the streets to arrest and prosecute those who failed to register?

And by the way, what would happen to operators in the remote communities, or those who are in areas that are difficult to access by roads?

Is registration free of charge for them? Or has CAC given incentives like reduction of the registration fee for POS operators who have so far not complied?
Politics › Re: GOV. OTTI Set To Give Out 1billion Interest Free Loan To 10,000 ABIANS. by ElevationD: 2:19pm On Jul 06, 2024

None of those business can sustain anyone


Retail aggs.. Eggs cost 3800 at farm gate
That's 26 crates of eggs

Let's assume store is free by the time u transport it it's cost 3900

So u sale 4000 hundred naira profit that's 2600 profit
Say u finish selling in 2 days ( unrealistic)

So 1300 per day.. That's 39000 per month? That's below poverty lines sir


I rather help 1000 people escape poverty completely
Than temporarily relieve 10,000 people that would return back to square one after 1 month
I made some corrections.
Please read my initial comment and I will revert to your response.
Thanks.

Makes no single sense

That's 100,000 ... What business can one start profitably with 100k

I have always said Otti is just lucky Abia id economically viable already if not he is not different from other nigerian Politicians that just know how to build infrastructure tho less corrupt

Every serious Nigerian can get 100k loan from Opay na easily

Two this money would be swallowed and no result would be given


My alternative?

With 1 billion I would build 5 world class shoe finishing factory in Aba

Anyone who is into leather works knows tht finishing is the difference between nigerian made shoes and foreign made

200 million people can build a factory that can with over 15 Finishing machines

Charge shoe markers 500 per shoe to finish or even 1000 to finish a shoe

In a day each factory would finish minimum of 500 shoes if they run 24 hours a day 6 days a week

That's 2.5million a day and 60 million a month

This is a sustainable business that's one

Two you robb the shoe markers into the tax bracket

This is what Peter Obi has always said invest in the people then tax them
How many jobs can you create from your said 5 factories?

I am surprised that you do not know that 100,000 can more than set up small businesses for people, even with the present hues and cries. Are you in any form of business? Please check.

With 100,000:00 you can kick start retail eggs.
With 100,000:00 you can kick start pepper/tomatoes
With 100,000:00 you can kickstart roasted corn, etc.
With 100,000:00 you can kickstart retail bread
With 100,000:00 you can kickstart noodles and eggs on the streets.
With 100,000 POS business is established.
With 100,000:00 you can kickstart a little mama put.

Imagine that there are serious minded 10,000 people with such sums, the rate of unemployment would reduce. The so called jobless youths can get something doing. Those who manufacture shoes in Aba can have agents with cash who distribute. That’s what Otti is looking at.

The multiplier effect is massive.
Food on the table for many.
Less complaints about poor governance
Bills are paid
Children are sent to school, etc.
Taxes are paid and government can have funds for development of the state. More people get into the tax net now in Abia state.

My disagreement is that Abia state government prioritizes established businesses for the program.
That’s shortsighted and would not have the intended effect for me.

I absolutely agree with Obi’s ideas, investing in the people. Your idea about the factories are sensible to me, but I think the government should look away from established businesses and lift up those who are presently unemployed.

Thanks.

Kwinesther:
If the tomatoes will not be used or blended at once, or there is no electricity in your area to refrigerate the perishables, then it is wise to buy the fairly ripened tomatoes else it will get rotten after some days. You pick the ripe ones to be used the day you bought them, by the next day or after when ever you want to cook another, some sets would have gotten ripe and you take from it, after few days another set are already ripe, you can cook or fry your eggs with it that's how you do it till it finishes. With this, the tomatoes will last for long, while unblended and unrefrigerated..
Thank you very much for this.
With the way things are presently, that basket full of tomatoes was a great bargain.
I was actually joking with my comment in the first place.
Do enjoy your evening.

I don't know who GRV is.
That’s Ghadebo Rhodes Vivour. The Labour Party candidate in the 2023 Lagos state governorship election. He lost to the present governor, Mr. Sanwo Olu.

He is a Yoruba man from Lagos state, with an Igbo mother and an Igbo wife. Out of tribalistic self centeredness, certain people threw up the narrative that he was a Igbo man, just to de-market him and drive home their point that the Igbos wanted to take over Lagos.

Unfortunately they all never knew that before Tinubu’s governorship in 1999, Lagos had been governed by the military men from the SE and NE.

You can look up his profile on google.

Calitoscassius:
Yes, the Naigerian name indicates she was birthed by one Naigerian parent, as i ve said, she is mixed white why you chose to ignore that or recongnise that she is half white i fail to understand. Surely her white roots should be recognised.

My point about her name being given to her by her parent is because people don't have a choice in the names given to them after birth grin i wasn't suggesting that we were present at her birth.

Okay, AJ may have chosen to do that but the others might not want to, you claimed they all want to come HOME. This woman may have Naigerian roots, she also has White European roots which she could also consider as HOME. cheesy it isn't for us to chose where her home is or should be in terms of roots.


I am not disputing their associations or identifications with their roots or their birth parents countries, Never! I have children who have European mothers, hence my passion on roots identifications. I have never picked one root over another when explaining to them their roots.

Again, i point out, i was responding to the individual who described her as a foreigner in England, perhaps because he/she read her IGBO name and thought oh! a foreigner in England.

FYI, i have IGBO roots also.. (if that is how it is described) Born in the UK by IGBO parents. I consider myself IGBO too also because my both parents are IGBO. I also have IGBO name So this is not a dispute about roots, ofcourse, everyone has roots.


Naigeria, Nigeria what difference does it make? Both words sounds the same. cheesy
Thank you for your further clarification. I do not have information about her mother’s nationality. I just looked at it from the point of her name.

Your second paragraph needs for you to note that people have rights over the names given to them after birth or when they have come of age.
For example, someone can say that he no longer likes the names given to him at birth, for his own reasons. Some say there are particular names that they find nauseating and they want to change the names.

I absolutely agree with your position in your fifth paragraph. The lady certainly cannot be termed a foreigner in the UK, with her status as a Briton. Infact one is no longer called a foreigner, once citizenship is conferred.

Maybe you choose to spell Nigeria that way for your convenience. Remember to visit from time to time, especially at Christmas, when Igboland is filled with enjoyment in all the communities.

In all, I thank you for the decorum in the conversation.

Cheers.
Politics › Re: ‘Don’t Donate Your Pension Benefits To Churches, Mosques’- Sanwo-Olu Pays N4.46b by ElevationD:
Very sound advise.

Now the retirees face old age. They need to save their money and plan usage of such money properly. Having served for either 35 years or meeting the age deadline to retire, it is now time to rest for them.

They must not hand over their retirement funds to those who lie and deceive them.
They must not hand over to fake investment experts.
They must not put all the money into fish farming, without proper training or idea. It has ruined too many retirees.
They must not hand over to emergency importers, who promise them 500% return on investment.
They must not trust their children to help them invest in bitcoins, forex and other get rich quick schemes.
They must carefully handle the money, while planning effectively for investments, if necessary.
Sentiments must not play any role with horrible children, who want to kill their parents and run away with their retirement benefit. Stay away from them.

So eliminating six kidnappers and arresting the seventh one was not police work to you. Destroying evil men to keep the society where you live is not police work to you?

She didn't give herself the Naigerian name, Just because she has a Naigeria name doesn't mean they want to be part of Naigeria or be associated with Naigeria,




Yes, She is british, you are right it doesn't stop her from identifying with her roots, clearly as it appears.
My comment was in response to her being described as a FOREIGNER by the person i responded to grin grin She is NOT a FOREIGNER in England.


Maybe they want to return HOME, maybe they don't. I will take your words.

What exactly do you mean by HOME because i can guarantee you this woman or any other like her considers Africa or Naigeria as HOME

It is like saying Obama wants to return HOME grin cheesy Or Kanye West wants to return HOME or Kemi Badenoch wants to return HOME. I doubt that very very much
Haba!
The Nigerian name surely would have been given to her at birth? The two of us were not there when she was born. Our attraction to her is her name, which is Nigerian. That surely is not in dispute.

When I say home, I mean Nigeria, or to be more specific, to their particular tribe or state. AJ is an example of identifying with his home. Until his profile came up, not many knew of his Nigerian roots. To drive home his relationship with Nigeria, he visited on some occasions, even as he identifies and fights as a Briton.

Sure, they may not consider Nigeria or Africa as their home, in the context of residency. However the truth remains that Nigeria is their home and they are always welcome anytime they deem it to be here.

Obama was born in Hawai, by a Kenyan father and an American mother. He is definitely an American, but that did not clean off his roots. He admitted that and said much more about his Kenyan roots. That’s the way it is for those who do not throw away their roots because of civilization.

And by the way, why do you spell Nigeria as Naigeria?
You did that repeatedly.

She’s British. She’ll defend British interests first. But it does not stop her from identifying with her roots. That’s why Nigerians in such positions abroad, either in government, sports or entertainment, always want to return home. They do not forget home.

that’s because they re fighting with rules of engagements by attacking only soldiers and military sites, but Israel on the other side attack both civilians and military sites, now hezbollah have said should a war break out, there would be no rules of engagement, just attack anywhere
In a war, there are no rules, otherwise Russia would not be destroying whole cities, towns, villages, people and animals in Ukraine.

Iran and its axis of evil are not able to prevail over Israel. The truth remains that Israel has the military advantage over them all combined.

Of all the nations with nuclear weapons, Israel is one of the only five who possess air, sea and land nuclear weapons. They are easily able to destroy those nations combined, if their very existence is threatened. Do you think Ukraine does not have the capacity to strike Moscow? Or do you think NATO does not u set stand the danger of Ukraine attacking Russia directly with their weapons. A nuclear war would be provoked because the Russians would see it as a threat to their existence.

We pray and hope for peace to prevail. We pray and hope for a two state solution. We pray and hope that thereafter, Iran will not continue with the desire to wipe Israel away from the face of the earth.

Rishi literally annihiliated Starmer during the debate.

Being Indian was the only thing against him which the Brits didn't like.

I wish Starmer best of luck but I cant see him implementing lot of changes with his overwhelming majority in the Parliament.

The knives will soon be out for him.
And the Indians would never give you their citizenship, yet they have citizenships of other countries all over the world. Spend eternity and you’ll never be an Indian. If the English were tribalistic, Rishi Sunak would not be the PM.

Rishi Sunak's government has faced the economic consequences of Covid 19, tensions with the union, high national debt, high energy prices, inflation with the citizens groaning under it, weak economic growth, etc.

It’s time for him to leave, just like we do not expect one baba to stay beyond 2027 with his horrible errors in Nigeria.

They somehow lose more than Israel each time the exchanges happen.

If the Israelis do not kill commanders, they kill large number of citizens. They also destroy whole towns and communities. Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran, PL, Syria, the Houthis, always pay far worse prices.

This war needs to end.

Pressed by the axis of evil and a threat to the existence of the state of Israel, expect the use of nuclear weapons in the Middle East.
