Minimum wage is not higher in Ghana, Liberia, Gabon, Cameroun e.t.c.

Lol each of those countries has a higher minimum wage than Nigeria and fuel is less expensive there

Sad thing is that Nigeria’s minimum wage isn’t up to $50 USD a month

Obviously you’re an intellectually handicapped fellow to make this statement.


They are literally buying over Africa’s potential biggest aviation market for chump change and controlling all positions of power but instead of facing the idiotss who structured the bs deal, your problem is Obidients.

I recently watched God of High school and it was insane. I think this should be my top four now. Also, love Demon slayer and Jujutsu kaisen.


grin It’s definitely worth the hype fr, Check out Hellsing and King too! They’re insane and the graphics are cool too. Maybe Garo too


Demon slayer and Jujutsu kaisen are mad no doubt, you have good taste for a newb ��

1. Jobless recarnation
2. Dororo
3. Clash of the titans
4. Black butler
5. God of High school.

What's yours?

Dororo is kinda mid tbh �

Black Butler is lit though. Also is it Class of the titans or Clash of the titans you mean cause the first one is mad too.


Then God of High School still remains a fave especially the fighting sequences in the later episodes like the one where they were on a roof using instruments or so
Business / Re: "No More International Transactions!" Did You Receive This? by Ericnrm(m): 2:36pm On Sep 21, 2022
Kasssandra:
Yeah, we are not earning enough dollars due to

1.Subsidy payments going up, due to higher oil prices, which means higher fuel prices...and more money being spent to keep it low...which eats into our budget

2.Falling oil production due to theft, robbery, and government doing nothing about security.

3.From 2014 till 7-8 months ago, oil prices were too low to sustain us. Now that they are high, we have to still pay off the debt we took on during the lean years...(and yes, we had to borrow, otherwise we would have ended up with salaries not being paid for 2 years .)...and even during those years, we were still paying up debts.

4.Lack of a diversified economy. We did not diversify our economy.

5.Poor tax uptake. Our tax to gdp raito is 8.1%....too low to get us enough revenue. 30% of the economically active populaiton pays income tax to the government at federal and state level. Tax leakages and corruption are a thing.

6.Corruption and stealing. Especially at contracts, subsidy level and so forth. And yes, APC hasn't changed a thing.


That's why we are in this mess.

If we removed subsidies on petrol and power, and raised our tax to gdp ratio, and really focused on fighting corruption....we might get somwhere.

Campaigning begins next week, let's see what the candidates have in the tank. I'm not optimisitic.



Please when you’re talking about the issues don’t push that false narrative or higher oil prices contributing to the scarce forex situation.


In case you don’t know, in the past 2 years we hit a record high for oil prices that haven’t been recorded in the past 15-20 years or so. Other OPEC countries are making a fat profit off of the increased oil prices while we have made zero dollars.


Secondly, the oil prices during Obasanjo’s time were some of the lowest in modern history but see what he was able to achieve, same goes for Jonathan so why do we buy this BS narrative that oil prices were terribly low when the data is easily accessible with your phone and data?


Feel free to do your research to counter any of my points and back them up with empirical dat chief.

Celebrities / Re: Obi Cubana Buys Brand New Range Rover For His Protégé Cubana Whitelion by Ericnrm(m): 2:16pm On Sep 21, 2022
SmartyPants:


I'm not sure what you think my argument is. If you say the east is better than the west, I say, great! Do better still! Nothing to argue about - at least not today.

My argument is this: you cannot simultaneously say that anything an Igbo man touches flourishes and still give reasons why you have to move to Lagos to prosper.

Then it is not true that anything you touch flourishes.

It is also clear that Igboland is not flourishing. You may want to argue that you're doing better that the west in HDI terms. I haven't seen the data but it's irrelevant. Is the West the standard?

So turn your region into a global model others can follow - if it is true that anything the Igbo man touches flourishes.


How do you grow into a global model when the major driver of massive economic development and stability is global trade?



I don’t necessarily agree that anything we touch flourishes, but it’s well known around the world that true development comes from trade and not infrastructure. Give us a deep sea port anywhere within the SS and SE then you’d see the overpopulation and congestion in Lagos gradually reduce.


Do you expect private citizens to build a federal asset when the same ones being used in Lagos were built by the FG? Your statement can only become valid when the same is reciprocated within the SE/SS region and global trade still remains redundant.


Comprendé?

SmartyPants:


Eric dont be emotional for no reason. Your post has no connection with mine.

I quoted a person who said anything and Igbo man touches flourishes, and that an Igbo man will leave his place to Lagos with polythene. Is that the sort of person moving to lagos because of ease of importation?

So my point was simply. Touch your region so that it flourishes, so that those moving with polythene can stay home.

I don't see how a reasonable man can look at what i quoted and have a problem with what ive said.

Process things and don't be emotional.


Chief if you actually understood what I said you’d know that I meant that we don’t move to Lagos or anywhere for the quality of living but to penetrate new markets and harness new opportunities which have already been saturated in the East.



Looking at a side-by-side comparison of HDI indices then you’d see that the Eastern region is better off than the West if we’re being factual so your argument holds no water.


Don’t argue with me about that you can argue with the data available wink

SmartyPants:


Igbos are indeed industrious and productive. More blessings!

But instead of packing polythene to Lagos, fix your land! Unless you don't really mean what yoy said, i see no reason why presidency is your biggest worry.

Turn your region into the figurative el dorado and enjoy.


Lol the only reason why Igbos move to Lagos is the ease of doing international business as well as exporting and importation of goods from outside the country. That’s why majority of importers in Lagos are of Igbo extraction.


If you actually knew how much it costs to transport a container from Lagos to the East then you’d know that it’s almost the same price as shipping that same container down from China to Lagos. If closer deep sea ports were functional and not the satellite river ports we have functioning in the SS and SE do you think most businessmen would be clamoring to move to Lagos?

Lmao be like you never know Obi. Man has been in the game for over 12 years and some of his earlier club like The Banks failed initially. But he started investing in the hospitality and real estate sectors coupled with the fact that we here in bought into the hype of his clubs so he makes millions in sales every 2-3 days.


Obi is clear abeg.


Mind you he also has over 10 hotels which he grew over the years in Abuja, Lagos and Enugu alone not to mention other states like PH and the rest. Lol trust me when I say the man has put in the work over the years along with collaborations from international brands like LVMH which all served to increase revenue.


We that know how he started can tell you that it’s been consistency and the grace of God that brought him this far

How can you tell us that you’re acting on “revelations” just now when it’s been obvious to even the blind that Gumi was a major player in the banditry sector in Nigeria today.

I hope he’s not let go after the 60 days as this might just be another political move to appease the masses before the campaign period officially starts.

Is it right for Christians to FORCE muslims to adopt Christian laws.....the English common Law is derived from Christianity. Besides Christians are in the north and sharia law does not apply to non muslims. So calm down and stop this christianity paranoia

Lol so the Nigerian constitution is now English common law? Okay then can you please stop collecting Federal allocation under “English common law” and look for how to fund your caliphates? You just are a lying POS

Politics / Re: Umahi To BudgiT: Ebonyi Has Never Owed Salaries Even For A Month by Ericnrm(m): 9:35pm On Aug 15, 2022
Mrtaye:

I doubt if you are from Ebonyi and also to compare Obiano and Ugwuanyi from rich states to Umahi from a state with meager IGR and allocation is more like a error of judgement...you know that song Buga by kizz Daniel...you Buga with what you have except you have nothing to Buga with that's the case of Obiano and Ugwuanyi

Someone that has never stepped foot in any local govt in Ebonyi suddenly wants to preach to me about my own state lol. I just told you that I’m a full-blooded son of the state and from a distinguished family at that which has close ties with the state govt. The governor failed to utilize the resources of the state properly and has over-leveraged the state’s borrowing profile. I know this for a FACT.

The amount of illegal mining activities going on in the state ranging from lead to gold should be enough to boost its IGR significantly if handled appropriately not to mention moribund projects like Nkalagu cement factory and salt factories found in the state. The governor turns a blind eye to all of this in exchange for a profit and you expect me to praise him for that? Have you ever asked yourself why majority of the people hailing are non-indigenes who don’t know the situation I’d things on ground,

You can’t tell us that are from Ebonyi what we know about the state plus my family is a well-known name in the state and I can tell you that Umahi has left the state in a ton of debt while simultaneously plunging them further into more hardship and suffering.

shortgun:
Once a cheat is always a cheat is not always true, as many people believe in this forum.
If you can live with the things she already did and her good side dwarfs her short coming go ahead and marry her.... nobody is perfect, we all did crazy things in our adolescent years.
There's no guarantee that the next girl you will meet won't be worse.

What you have in your hand is an adolescent girl who needs mentorship, leadership and guidance to become a better person.
It's your duty to make her what you want her to become.
Girls in her age make mistakes that they regret and will never repeat in their lifetime.
If you leave that girl you have damaged her for life....I am telling you this from experience.


Lol don’t play the devil’s advocate cause it would’ve been a different case if she had been caught cheating once or twice but 4 TIMES with a MARRIED MAN?? Nahh bruhhh lord knows that that kind of mistake is way too serious to overlook. At least if she cheated, why do it with a married man multiple times knowing fully well that she could have destroyed his family and mess up his kids’ lives forever.
