Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Lady Denied Employment Because Of Leg Chain. by erico2k2(m): 11:45pm On Mar 14, 2022
Bigredmachine:
What has a leg chain got to do with the job, was the question... Now the answer is... What is the work of the leg chain on the leg...

I have come to a conclusion that many people don't have any tangible reasons as to why they do some certain things in this life, because u see other people do it, u too just want to do it...

If for example my friend who is a musician tints his hair, pierce his ear and draws tattoo on his body (just to promote his hustle) and because it looks good on him, then me an aspiring banker or a medical doctor should i now go and do same, just because it looks good... Anyway I digress

This empty skull headed girl, would see it as normal and something accepted by the general public...

Am happy she did not get the Job... Cause her appearance has already showed she's irresponsible...
I think that is a shallow way of looking at it,if the job in question stipulates that one must not wear any Jewries on the outside then they are in the right, however if nothing in their code of dressing bars it then they are i n the wrong, In a sane environment that will be classed as discrimination and you will pay a hefty fine in an employment tribunal. If you can wear a wedding ring and a bracelet on your arm why cant a person wear a bracelet o n their legs? On another note, the company could have lost an employee that would have taken them to the next level.

Congrats to the couple
You saying this, Do you know how many circles of IVF they might have gone fru and how many Millions they have spent? so giving thanks to God is in order mentioning IVF or not that's totally up to them, I don't think one can judge or criticize them for that.

TheGoodJoe:
What are you arguing?

Let me explain. Those who drill crude, make money from the operations. Serious mega profits.

The modular operators buys these products from the producers/Government.

Someone is suggesting handing operations of some fields to the modular operators and use the profits to support the refining operations.

Keep in mind, this is what Shell planned to do when they set up the Port Harcourt refinery before Government took over the project.

So the point is that the modular refinery operators will not sell at the loss of some drilling fields are used to support their operations.
No one suggested that, what we here said was to use the subsidy money to prop the difference in price so that they can sell local at the approved rate there by bridging the gap in subsidy plus Unclean fuel!

Agree with you.

Our Economists and the FG have no clue to the problem of economic development.

Subsidy is actually supposed to help develop production capacities and not consumption. Unfortunately the government and our economists have milked this country DRY and like Oliver Twist, they need more money to spend.

The Chinese government spent almost a trillion dollars in helping the solar panel and the Lithium Battery packs for electric vehicles.

Many Nigerian Economists think that the solution to Nigeria's problem is just mere adjustments of fiscal and monetary policies. They are even now still repeating the same mistake!
they will never know

We also don't raise enough money from taxes.

As said by the WB via a BBC report



That makes it difficult to raise money for subsides from taxes...even then...



So, let us stop importation of petrol by removing subsidy and incentivising domestic refining...since a domestic refiner can now be free to make a profit.

If you want to be a producer, then by Jupiter and Mars and Ares, and Hera, LET THE PRODUCER MAKE A PROFIT IN PRODUCING.

Good evening. I got to go.
bro i dont know what news channel you watching we raise enough money from taxation however, the money is not being accounted for,

If full regulation is stopping modular refineries from working, then it is the major reason our 4 refineries are not functional.

Yes, and I told yer, that they pay for it from income tax, not from crude oil revenue




Which reflects as a reduced price for car users, and savings. (Thanks for the correction anyways).




Once again, subsidy in the UK is paid for from taxes...which they can afford because UK TAX to gdp ratio is 34% compared to Nigeria's 8%, AND THEIR gdp is much higher because they are an INDUSTRIAL NAITON compared to oil dependent Nigeria, which APC and PDP have done nothing to fix. Or army rule for that matter.
I don't know why you are fixated bout this Income tax as English. What do you understand by Income tax please if I may ask? don't we as a country Generate Income tax as source of revenue? You are speaking as if its a whole loads of different entity when it comes to generating income to service a country, Income tax is just one means of generating income, in the Uk yes, they do not export Oil as we do in Nigeria their major export is Tech and financial services, we in Nigeria Oil. However for the purpose of subsidy I sincerely see no relevance as to where the income of a subsidy regime country is generated. Money is money. Now tell me don't inflation affect the Tech and financial sector? are they imuned?.The problem in this sector in corruption, good Ideas but devilish people up in NNPC

Unfortunately the problem we have is greater than the economics of subsidy. It is the economics of production capacity.

In theory, subsidy is bad for the economy but when properly channeled it's a life saver. Do you know that the USA government subsidizes Food and farming businesses?



The question is WHY?



Without revamping the production capacity of citizens, removal of subsidy is a CRIME against humanity.
This what Im trying to say to the man, there is nothing wrong in subsidy if for anything we should continue the petrol subsidy. The Uk subsidised solar panels for houses so that we can install renewable Energy generators and gave tax incentives to wind and solar farms in terms of taxes etc.The west must have subsidised more than 50 stuff in our every day life but Nigeria subsides just petrol and they want to give that up. Imagine if petrol sell as diesel cos my car in Nigeria is Diesel and I bought diesel last week b4 I returned for N410/litre. Tell me who in Nigeria can do Biz with petrol at N300??everyone will pack up.The stop the subsidy crew have no clue. even the FG I mean no FG has the balls to stop petrol subsidy.I stand to be corrected

Well, considering that oil has been high for the last one month, plus the money does not come in like immediately.....

Anyway, oil prices mean nothing to me. Nigeria, even if oil reaches 200 dollars per barrel, is a poor, and economically idealess nation. We need more than oil, we must be productive.



Ah, so that's what it is all about. That's why you are so angry with me

For the record

1.Subsidy comes from oil revenue, whose prices fluctuate, and as a reuslt, we end up with deficits in our budget...which is part of why we take loans.

2.Also, government subsdisies education ( which is why you pay university fees less than N50000 a session, not the millions universities like Covenant and Bbcock pay)and power(government forces the power sector to operate at a loss, so that people like us don't pay N100 per kwh for electricity..we pay N71 and below. And the result..the power sector is broke, and N1 trillion in debt....)., and health (which is why you don't pay millions of naira for a Caesarean when your wife needs it in a government hospital. Private ? Another matter).

.

They should, but they cannot because at the end ...people love to make money. Prevent them from making money legit...they will go illegit.

Like now, fuel costs N162 here, and over N300 in all opur neighbours. Nice incentive for smuggling...unless you want to build a wall around this country. (and the smuggling has been going on for decades. Everything has been tried. Including closing the borders. Did not work)




.

No, that would be under Yaradua, when oil was at $145, and GEJ also had it above $120 at several months in 2012, and 13.

Plus it has been there for only one month. One month...does not do much.

Also, we had a prolonged period of low oil prices. Sometimes as low as 30 dollars or less. We had to take loans that time to meet up. At the end, the government has to pay those loans..and when prices go up, paying back loans becomes priority. (We were here before, in the 1980's).

At this point, I quote an article written in 2004

.

Sauce: Managing the Dutch disease in Nigeria. by Dr. Emmanuel Ojameruaye (2004).

.

The difference between us and the West is that the West

1.Pays for subsidies from INCOME TAX.

2.Nigeria pays for subsidies from CRUDE OIL REVENUE. Which as we know is not stable.

3.EVEN THEN, SUBSIDES are not paid in the West like we pay them here. They are paid to the producer, not the end consumer...and diesel still costs the equivalent of N836 in the UK)

(UK has a tax to gdp ratio of 34% and Nigeria is just reaching 8% (7 years ago it was 4.8%).
U keep shifting the goalpost during the match we are talking OIL here not any other sector.
The west Ie the UK subsidises its diesel for certain sectors to ease the Borden on their operation, they do this by colouring the diesel RED.[/b][b] so its nearly 50% less than regular diesel
Subsidies is not paid to the End user in Nigeria, I have both Diesel and Petrol cars in Nigeria, we pay pump price I don't know about you mayB you get paid directly unless thats not what you meant to type. Subsidy is paid to the importers as the difference in mkt price.
Diesel in the UK today is £1.65 on average and £1.70 in some places naira to pounds rate is N773 todays rate. My car in the Uk is a Diesel
RED Diesel is btw £0.72 to £0.80 in the UK, the difference is paid by the government.
so that quote is like quoting the Minister of Information of Nigeria

Problem is, the subsidy rising is dependent on government revneue.

Revenue comes from crude oil...whose prices are never where we want them (Even during the times of plenty under GEJ, we were still ten dollars short of our ideal crude oil price on a good day...)..so at the end we take loans . (That's partly why Bubu takes so many loans. Even now, he needs N3 trillion for subsidises this year, up from N1 trillion 3 years ago.)
As we speak, we can never have it as good for the last two years, for that past 1 year Oil has been above $90 no one is talking about it, they all went hush hush. Subsidy is the right of the common man and its the Only Bill the Fg pays to elevate the plight of the man on the street so it must go on. What they the FG should check is the corruption surrounding subsidy and volume allocated V volumes supplied. We all hailed the NNPC when they became sole importer we never knew theirs would be worse. As we speak, the FG is getting the Highest revenue from Oil since the exportation of crude from Nigeria. Let the modular refineries sell to the importers and the FG pays the difference in subsidy period.The west still subsidise Diesel for its people ie in the UK up till now still subsidise Diesel to farmers and some sectors of the economy.

No, because it means the government will set price at a level where they lose money, and give them subsidy that won't even begin to cover their losses.

That's a big reason why we lost our old refineries.
Nop our Old refineries died cos people want to import and inflate the volume of imported product to claim subsidy for fluids they never supplied.

So, you want a refinery to refine fuel at N250, sell it at N150, and lose N100 as a result per liter of fuel, and pay a subsidy of N30 that cuts the loss to N70 per liter of fuel?

Nice for the masses, but bad for the continued functioning of the refinery. Local or otherwise.
I think this is the time for you to leave and stick to Wolves V crystal palace. If you indeed know what subsidy is you wont have made that statement, it feels like have no clue of what it means for an FG to subsidise a product for its citizen if you knew then you would have realized that the 100 you are quoting as loss would be the subsidy!
once again read up what subsidy means instead of making yourself sound not so intelligent!
