na mouth you get, keyboard engineer , local Nigeria man , I don't claim to be what I'm not

Pascal9:
Electric cars has been around for almost as long as IC Engines! what is this novice talking about, I gave you reason why electric car was suppressed then by vested interest, and you are here talking about people that couldn't commercialise their inventions, mumu in 1860 or1876, is electricity mainstream, you are not an engineer, you are claiming what you are not.you are wiser than the CHINESE and AMERICAN BUSINESS MEN INVESTING BILLIONS IN NEXT GENERATION BATTERY, even with current battery milage, one can drive up 500km before needing to recharge, Oga you don't know a jack

Pascal9:
you are a local Nigeria engineer , you got nothing upstairs , combustion win then because of John d Rockefeller standard oil monopoly , Nigeria engineer ask yourself, why all the major auto industries are investing billions of dollars in electric vehicles development, Volkswagen is investigating close to 80 billion dollars, Daimler is investigating 60billion dollars, ford general motors, and leader Tesla in investing billions of dollars and a local hungry Nigeria engineer is predicting the demise of an industry that is a game changer

BorisJohnson:
I am interested in that £8 one Biko..

I wanted to bring up this point but thought it might be a little complex to explain via text here.

The person earning high in the South that buys the expensive property isn't foolish: he is able to build equity much faster which he can use to buy cheaper properties to let up North. So that statement yesterday about earning less and doing better in the North all because housing is more affordable was just a little funny to me.

As for Wales, it's not an edge case o. I know so many people who live in Wales and do a 90-min train ride or a 3-hour National Express trip to London on days they go to the office. 3 hours no reach Lagos traffic na.

Solumtoya:
You guys make a good point actually.

BUT, you forget some of us actually love the bubbly life and cultural diversity of working in London. Even in Lagos, I worked in 4 different Companies and they were all in Victoria Island and all through, lived in Lekki. People always lectured me to move to the Mainland but I told them "not everyone will stay on the Mainland". It's a choice, an expensive one that comes with pros and cons but it's a choice regardless.

Working in London is just what some of us want. My former job was Remote and I hated it. I prefer Hybrid where I can be colocated with teammates and collaborate physically. I love the "beauty" of working out of the 12th floor of a high-rise building in Canary Wharf, etc. Maybe when I get older, I will consider working in quieter Cities. I want my Youthful working years here for now.

And no, "working in London isn't choking my growth", you are terribly wrong on that. No, you can't say "I'm not helping myself". And yes, I can get on the property ladder as easily as (or easier than) my mates in the North. Lots of assumptions.

Now you also assumed we wanna LIVE in London. Nope, not me. UK is different from Nigeria, US, Canada in its beautiful transport which means I can live as far as Northampton in a house of 200k or rent of £800 and get to London in 1 hour for work if I need to. In fact, I can live in Wales and get to London with £8!

The conversation is to get good Cities that are close enough and yet affordable enough for those of us who choose to work in London. I'm not sure how that means "my mind is not open" or "my wings are not spread"

TrainPark:
You are taking on so many different points at the same time which makes meaningful discussion impossible.
- I agree about govt support but that is how it works in every sector if you are a leader because the government has an interest in the success of private sector players. They provide employment and serve as the main stay of the economy.

- Selling 20% to the government is business and even you will do that f you are in position.

- All the local quarries he bought: I agree you he may have bought some but that is because it is his sector of interest.

[b]- Fraud: for your learning, business is not church work and as long as the players are within the rules, then all is fair. he is free to use his [/b]influence and connection. Just like I am sure you have used and will use if you are in position.

Saga16:
You made it sound as if once you have lived in UK for 10 years, it's yours to grab.

It absolutely is not.

You need to have a desired skill which an agency which handles sensitive data would require of you.

You can't explain squat.

Saga16:
Stop talking rubbish.

You as an individual cannot get a security clearance unless an agency requires it of you.

Stop deceiving the public.

Saga16:
Na you say UK, now you dey say Nigeria.

TrainPark:
He may be the leader but it is not a monopoly... BUA, and several other players are making it big there too.
He was smart to focus on non-oil business sectors that are essential and hence his outstanding success.

Anybody can go into these sectors.

Saga16:
Getting security clearance counts for much.

Pascal9:
do your research, 20% of cars sold in 1st quarter of 2023 are electric, and it is projected to 50%by 2027, and mind you he can't make headway if subsidy is removed, if gasoline prices hit 700naira, people will either abandon it or go electric.

TrainPark:
You that has investigated, can you provide proof of your wild, unfounded accusation which may not be unassociated with the usual tribal sentiment!

taylor89:
If you investigate deeply you’ll realize Dangote is one major big problem we have in Nigerian government


I know you can’t relate but behind the scenes Dangote won’t be this rich if Nigerian government was working fine


These people are benefactors of bad governance


But 30k monthly warriors will come to defend him

BuhariAdvocate:
Nah your mate.you think is your brother who can't state how they started

BorisJohnson:
Imagine a tiler or mason who leaves Benin Republic or Togo and migrates to Nigeria, looking for greener pastures. Such a person now goes to Omu-Ekiti or Damasak or Kazaure or Oturkpo or Oji River to live, simply because houses in those places are a fraction of Lagos, Abuja or PHC prices…

Well, they can get big house first cheap. But where dem wan see jobs?

Solumtoya:
I just used "90-minute drive" to represent a place where the commuting distance won't be too expensive. Sure, most people don't drive to London.

I've been looking at Milton Keynes though. Not too cheap but fair. Good schools too and family friendly. Another consideration is outskirts of Reading

Solumtoya:
I was responding to her comment about London not insinuating we would all reside there o

However, can you mention some of these available Cities outside London that someone who works in London can explore?

We had had this conversation here before and people were mentioning Croydon, Kent, Dartford, Cambridge etc. but those areas are not cheap!

Many are not looking for houses in London but Houses within a 90 minute drive from London yet even that is not cheap in decent areas

She's a science student and that means she's truly brilliant.
Art students are dull and I don't regard them academically

sonofjos:
We were clearing farm and some fulani boys came with this strange looking bird which they killed. I've seen many birds but I've never seen this type before. It was particularly large.

They sold it to us for 1k.
It was worth 3 chickens

plaindealer:
I knew it...

Sadly enough during the sentencing, the judge said this corrupt man logged over 400,000 pounds into his UK bank account in less than 5 months.

Unfortunately for him, na inside cold hard concrete prison go be his home for 10 long years instead of his ill-gotten mansions.

Born2conquer:
How much should we be looking at for the permit and how long will it take?

This is why there are prepaid meters. You don’t have to pay for what you didn’t consume. People have been buying transformers since time immemorial all over Nigeria. If you have prepaid meter. You only pay for what you consume.

What I've noticed is nobody tells us how long these bridges and flyovers are. Some are not even up to a km
