Chief this is not working

nairalanda1:
Very true.


Because cost of living in the USA is also very high. And yes, outsourcing happens because it is technologically easier and financially easier . But at the expense of jobs for the USA? (Many parts of the USA have large unemployment because of that...)

On point 1, if the grade of the petrol product is low, shouldn't our regulators use that to edge them out of the market without the 15% tariff or does dangote also sell the same quality? Food for thought.

Very soon, he g9 borrow from dormant accounts like bubu wanted to.

Yarimo go tell us say na rented crowd.

Otti dey give am nightmares.

Kukutente23:
1. Is it not too early? They have given Wike enough time to procure another judgement or take the matter to the court of appeal and have the ruling arrested. Wouldn't it have been better they got this judgement like two days or a day to the convention?

2. It is sad what our judiciary has become. They have allowed themselves to become a subject of mockery in public. Now everyone knows Wike's judge, Fubara's judge and now Makinde's judge. It's a huge shame on an instittution that should be above board in all ramifications

Sadly, NJC is very quiet in the face of all these nonsense.

fergie001:
Makinde has borrowed Wike's template.
The plaintiff, Folahan Malomo Adelabi, is Seyi Makinde's candidate contesting the office of the Deputy National Organising Secretary.

2016 happening again.....

Sheriff stopped the National Convention and used Okon Abang of the FHC Abuja to stamp it. Wike used Justice Liman of the FHC Port Harcourt to proceed with the Convention. Sheriff appealed the PH Judgement and won, Wike went to the Supreme Court and won. It's happening now.......

weyrey lafin wo weyrey

See as them dem snap pix without telling him it's wrong to hold your mag while shooting.

ALTERNATEID:
Nothing wey Musa no go see for gate. Where Regina Daniels see $50k before meeting Ned? Make una dey lie small small now 🤣🤣🤣

E shock you? Ned was struggling to win before meeting regina. Musa dey really see sumtin for gate.

Data is in open space comment is at best laughable.

nairalanda1:
Yes USA imports from china and as a result a lot of it's domestic manufacturing has been wrecked. That's why a lot of people voted for trump whose activity this year has been slapping tarrifs on many nations, china included.

It's also part of why the democrats lost. A democrat president was responsible for signing treaties that led to American jobs being outsourced to china and other countries.

Yes, Americans want cheap things, but that has basically affected their domestic industry and led to millions doing low paying service jobs.

Forget politics. If obi was in charge and did this , it would still be right. After all we lose a lot of forex to importation, which affects forex reserves

You cannot demand jobs and support polices that destroy job creation

At least we now have more people setting up refineries

US raising tarrif is nit new. Obama did it against China where the felt the trade deficit was targeted against them. Trump's case was even using drugs as his alibi and not even trade deficit.

That said, US have all it takes to keep manufacturing but their unionism that demands workers are paid top dollar and investors looking for massive profits made so many companies outsource because of cheap labour.

That cannot be said about Nigeria so it would be like comparing apple and oranges.

The 15% tariff is not needed. With the alleged removal of subsidy, it's a free market. The importation of petrol products, as long as the products are not substandard keeps dangote on his toes and it's a win-win for Nigerians but you guys are smarter that other economist.

If Obi is the president and think of this nonsense, I'd have attacked him as well because this policy is not well thought out.

Penguin2:
Before this trash gets moved to front page, note these things:

Peter Obi has finally reacted and left no loopholes for APC propagandists to exploit against him (masterstroke).

Kwankwaso has deleted his tweet after Riley Moore quoted him and reminded him of how he introduced Sharia in 2000 in Kano.

Even the Federal Government X account that was sharing Kwankwaso’s statement in different languages has deleted all the messages.

Una go learn, and you’ll learn the hard way.

Seriously? They have deleted all their tweets? Way.

I have said this repeatedly, if OBJ had nipped yerima sharia move in the bud, naija for dey safer today.

cdqyehyeh:
Nairaland is full of non intellectual comment.

The post is about cutting importation yet some comments are trying to disregard the post.
If only there is another site where reasonable comment can be found.
We cry of importing everything yet some want to label a move against it as rubbish.

The thread deserves the posts it's getting. Otedola is speaking up because of his friend and not that he's a patriot in this case.

Coming to importation, even USA imports finished goods from China and other countries. The ones that made the tarrif are putting it 9n hold until they see some metrics but Otedola is smarter than all.

EBUBS:
How are you comparing these two phones biko. Kai!

Na team infinix, phone wey dem dey compare with latest iPhone na im e dey compare with infinix.

brainpulse:
They will tell lies that they were stopped by the police and package was collected from them. Alot of them run away with the package. They are mostly wicked and fraudulent people.

Na still police arrest am.

Everybody wants to rule the world!

Kayberg:
Then send him back to his country to go and continue his treatment there.

What if they don't have the proper institutions in his country. He should then die?

Kayberg:
Oga, dump these grammar.
You have schizophrenia, and all you could do is take a knife to attack a group of little children?

That's an act of terrorism, not mental illness.

Schizophrenia is a serious mental sickness. Read it up. The law is not sentimental as you wish.

Botragelad:
Again, death penalty is what he deserves. Shove your objectivity.

I disagree entirely. In law, mental cases are treated as special cases if proven. Because we don't do so in Africa especially does not mean it's a global practice.

Waiting to see how this plays out. Worse case scenario is to attack our trade.

SR and storyland na 5 and 6. Believe them at your peril.

JobAndVacancies:
Guys please do well to avoid Sportstrader.
I nearly got scammed of 10k assuming I wasn't smart enough to detect his wickedness.
I chatted him up and told him I have 10k and I need 2 odds so as to double it to 20k so I could pay off debts and contribution.
Werey told me to stake the whole 10k on a live bet of dynamo Brest to score 2 goals which was just 1.25 odds.
I told him I can't stake 10k on such odds to win 13k.
He got angry and blocked me
Guys do you know the game finished 1-0 and Dynamo Brest couldn't score 2 goals as he ordered me to.
I would have lost 10k today.
Avoid anything that has to do with him, don't chat him up or join any of his telegram group. You'll regret it

I wouldn't call this scamming as he won't gain from it.
I have seen game of 1.09 for 2 goals that ended up playing goalless draw.

2oddsTrader:
I'm moving all my followers to a WhatsApp and Telegram channel today. Want to hustle hard this coming month November.

Won't be coming to Nairaland as from tomorrow!

And off to WhatsApp they go. History just repeating itself.

Some of una dey vex. Funny enough, na Rollins throw the challenge oh.

Omihanifa:
This is actually the number of documented customers. There's are so many buildings in nigeria that are not registered and yet benefit from the national grid.

If you go up north, one house fit register with disco, and he will be supplying light to other houses. It's a common practice in niger state.

The only way discos can get the accurate figure is by installing smart electricity meters for everyone

It shouldn't be a problem if the house uses prepaid meter. If he likes, let him supply the whole community

One said Abia govt house is empty and this one says Otti is God sent. Lol

Israeli Forces Used Elderly Palestinians as Human Shields Before Executing Them in Gaza

Two elderly Palestinians, Haj Nadi Marouf and Haj Ali Marouf, were found executed in northern Gaza after being used as human shields by Israeli soldiers. According to local reports, troops from the 92nd Battalion of the Kfir Brigade detained the two men in Beit Lahia, forcing them to walk ahead of the soldiers as they cleared buildings. Both men were unarmed and frail, posing no threat. Witnesses say they were last seen under Israeli custody before their bodies were discovered days later, each killed with bullets to the head.

The case has drawn widespread outrage, symbolising the escalating brutality that civilians face in Gaza. Using civilians as human shields is a clear violation of international law, yet such reports have become disturbingly common amid Israel’s ongoing military campaign. The deaths of Nadi and Ali Marouf, elderly men who should have been protected, have come to represent the deep moral decay of Israeli society, where even the most vulnerable are stripped of their humanity.

From slit throats to bullets to the head. When you want to lie, make up your mind and better stick to it.

DrMB:
Top sources in the Nigerian military have finally revealed the names and departments of the 16 senior military officers currently being detained by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) over an alleged plot to overthrow the Bola Tinubu-led government.

SaharaReporters earlier exclusively reported that an officer of the Nigerian Navy, Lieutenant Commander B Abdullahi, was identified as one of the senior military officers detained.

Sources in the Defence Headquarters confirmed that the officers, drawn from the Army, Navy, and Air Force, were picked up in coordinated operations by military intelligence after weeks of secret surveillance.

Below are the profiles of the detained officers as compiled by Premium Times:👇

Storyland. What formations were they in charge of to justify any coup plot.

Feisu:
My wife still keeps contact with her married ex. She says they parted peacefully so they are still friends.
I didn't have an issue with it.

But I recently found out he sends money and gifts to my inlaws and they are all so happy with that. Even celebrating this in my presence and saying I shouldn't be jealous or anything because their daughter knows she's married and their relationship was in the past.

This doesn't sit well with me.

I also know for a fact that my parents wouldn't accept unsolicited gifts from my ex or that of my siblings.

Lies as usual but let's keep reading comments.
