You are funny because the majority are not islam. They have come out to say the are not Muslims. Even the one that are Muslim are already tired taking off their jihab.

They can participate if they want. The supreme leader is the problem and not the people.

RIP in advance.

Why did the west allow this people to forced islam in iran. The force islamic republic and form supreme government.

I predicted he will be fished out inside a hole. Gaddafi did more and said alot more than them.

Israel have destroyed the structure and the blocks. Anyone who claims the next supreme leader will be eliminated immediately. They already taken out the chief judge and defense minister.

The next thing is to find someone that will stop and destroyed the nuclear program. Iran will never have nuclear I have said this many times.

Next country is north korea.

Setting aside the emotional and historical weight of Apartheid for a moment, what has South Africa actually achieved over the last 30 years? If the white minority had remained in power, the country certainly wouldn't be where it is today. Had the country been partitioned, the differences in outcomes would be even more apparent.

Most police dont even know the law if they see someone without driver license they will say let go to the station or you pay 200k bribe. Many Nigerians will start negotiating with police because they are ignorant of the law. A fine of 10k to government account they might pay 50k especially if they are youth.

Another thing is to avoid police drama and bail of the vehicle at their station.

Government is losing money to corruption.


As a Nigerian ask them to book you so you can pay right there. Most of them don’t even know the website not to talk off how to operate them.

Something you can pay online right at the sport the frsc will take you to their office first do a manual booking and ask you to go to the bank. All of which is waste of time because they need the receipt.

I was even the one teaching them how to do it instantly but they still need hard copy receipts in modern time. Many people vehicles sleep their because of ignorance and lack of proper training. Reason many people will prefer to bribing them than to follow the procedures

Go trump go.

Modern cars are nothing but paper. I don’t really understand why things in the past were much better

SINisSIN:
Sorry for this bro but next time, get your stuffs from Chinese vendors in Lagos. They sell at their normal rate and you will see everything you are buying. I really don’t fancy online purchase. Let me see what I’m buying with my clear eyes please.

does the Chinese in lagos have a website?

chillex8:
Age.
Wouldn't wanna be seen in a matte colored vehicle

what was the major problem and change you face from it

nairalanda1:
Well, it isn't textbook economy.

We have been doing subsidised electricity since at least 1978...and since then things have gotten worse.

Ivory coast was doing subsidised electricity until 1993. Back then they had peace, but they also had power cuts, and system collapses (the last major one was in 1984.). Then in 1993, they removed subsides, and privatised power from top to bottom....and the result was 24 hour power supply, despite having a civil war and several severe crisis.

And it is not that Ivory coast is free of corruption (the guy who privatised power was a corrupt bigot)...but since it got profitable, the sector has had money to improve things. Hell, the WOrld Bank invested money in the thing, among other investors.

Now that's practical economics.

NO investor would invest in any sector that has subsidy. That is why subsidy on fuel went when dangote was ready to open his refinery.

this is a simple logic.

The band A as a test run program failed. It failed and further increament will fall as well.

The band A increased cuase serious issue to the economy. Hotels increased their service. Restaurant and bar increased their service. Frozen food increase their service.

Poorer people reduced their electricity consumption. I no longer putting on my air conditioner except for extreme conditions.

All of which didn’t even brought value to the increase. So its failed F9. And out more people in suffering

nairalanda1:
Simple, because at the end of the day, band A form only 20% of total consumers, and because most consumers do not pay a cost reflective tarrif.

That means that the money earned at the end of the day is not enough to pay for improvements.

For things to improve, discos would have to be earning the amount of 15 trillion naira from band A consumers....which is not possible.

Hell, the issue is the right of a company or an individual to set its prices....and taking away that right from the power sector is why you don't have light.

you only knows about textbooks economy. Reality is different and only people with experience can understand how reality works

chillex8:
Did a matte paint on my odyssey over a decade ago .
Will I do same today, naaaaaa.
I prefer glossy finish.

Can you give us good reasons why you can't do it again?

nairalanda1:
The problem is, the money for subsides will come from the 1.9 million barrels per day we produce here in nigeria...which is not enough for a country our size revenue wise, and that is before corruption comes in.

Also, we need something like 10-15 trillion naira annually in new investment for at leasr 5 years before we can see improvement. That is about a quarter of our current budget. And that is for new investment...doesn't cover subsidy or revenues.

That means that if you want subsides, you got to pay through the nose for it....by massive borrowing and more debt.

Also, Ghana and Ivory coast don't have subsides, and as a result have decent power supply. Egypt, that Peter Obi holds up as an example, removed subsides on power. That's our comparison...not India which is relatively wealthy

you are one of them that support the band A rhetoric. Why is the band a not having light? At least that would make others want to be moved to band a.

nairalanda1:
The problem is our power sector needs investment and no one is going to invest in a sector where there is subsidy.

That is because you won't see adequate profit and return on investment because for most consumers government is setting prices to the point where ROI is impossicant.

Let me put it this way, you got two bakery business you want to invest in.
One of them is located in a state where they sell bread at a price of 200 naira when it costs 2000 naira to bake one loaf because the state government has brought in price controls and the subsidy they pay doesn't cover potential rises in production costs.

In the other state , bread is sold for 2600 per loaf , the same cost to bake it as the other state. Where would you invest your money.?


Ivory coast and Ghana stopped subsides on their power sector. Last time ivory coast had system collapse was in the 1980s. They privatised and removed subsidies in 1993.

you don’t know what you are talking about. There are some secrors that needs government regulation. Because the economy of the country is within them. Any wrong move can cause massive inflation fuel and energy. India electricity is subsidize and very cheap for the poor. So how are theu doing it? You cant run America style economy in india because it won’t work. The people are poorer and not in the same status. Rent are not the same and wages are not the same.

Another one. They told us band A will solve all the power problems. As Its the best policy after sliced bread even after we told them nothing would come out from it. They have started again with another gimmick. When you keep devaluing your currency under any pretext. You will continue to chase shadows and blaming band c and d. another price increase will still not solve it. Price increases have never solve anything in this country. Check the increase of fuel it only creates inflation.

The power problem is so terrible. From December, January to February.

Power bank break the record of highest selling device. But online and offline.

To even find really cold drink in this country is from hotels.

Pack all your property outside. All and do general cleaning. Wash your badsheet and curtain. Mopping everywhere. Spray some fragrances.

Then do let night weakout. Walk 10km. If your neighborhood is safe. Or buy a bicycle and do 30km.

"A few years ago, matte black and gray cars surged in popularity. There was rapid growth, but then they suddenly seemed to disappear. What is the problem with this paint?

From what I know, matte paint doesn't last and is difficult to maintain. Although the color looks very mature, it scratches and fades easily."

Because matte paint has a unique, porous, and textured finish designed to absorb light rather than reflect it, traditional buffing or polishing to remove scratches will ruin the finish by creating a permanent shiny spot.


Key Challenges and Considerations:
Permanent Damage: Scratches, swirl marks, or deep etching from bird droppings/tree sap cannot be buffed out. If the matte finish is polished, it turns glossy.

Specialized Maintenance: Matte cars cannot use automatic car washes, waxes, or harsh detergents, as these can add unwanted gloss or damage the finish. Hand washing with specific matte-safe products is required.

High Repair Costs: Because panel-matching is difficult, fixing minor damages often requires repainting an entire panel, which is significantly more expensive than repairing glossy paint.

Porosity: Matte clear coats are more porous than glossy ones, making them more susceptible to staining and absorption of contaminants.

Uniformity Issues: Maintaining an even, non-splotchy look across the entire car can be difficult, as the finish can appear uneven if not cleaned properly.

No, the US will never do that because you can't pay them enough, but for a poor African country, treating HIV may be far more important than maintaining privacy. Health could easily be a bigger national risk than privacy, and if they can't afford health, trading their privacy for it may be a difficult but wise choice.

hiv is lab creation to control countries especially Africans. The people living with the sickness are few. But the stats is over bloated. Those aid money are fir corrupt politicians

So many speculation and all that. Nigerians will never know what really happened.

But i believe it’s election related. They need someone to work with in the coming election.

They former IG suppressed any form of protest. Protect is like a crime. Going after any one we speak ill of tinubu.

I am suspecting the free 50k bed they want to give to Nigeria prisoners.

tctrills:
It is simple, you either choose privacy or financial aid. You can't have both. Zimbabwe chose privacy. I have no problem with them or the US. Also, remember, each time you choose to use Facebook, X, Instagram, or TikTok, you are trading privacy for entertainment, communication, or business. So these decisions are not only made on a national level, but we also make them on individual levels.

would the US give out their data to another country?

That's national risk. The Zim has already pulled out. China is not using esim technology because they are not the ones that developed it. Until they develop their own version of esim technology.

Any country using esim is using U.S tech.
Esim has data risk and u.s surveillance. And they are pushing and forcing the world into it.

People evolve from each generation. Right now if it's not send me ur account. Many people prefer tiktok that chats.

Umm. Why the u. s need the data of people living in Zimbabwe? What is about zims that they want to spy on?

People that involved on those don’t usually have regular customers. The sell randomly

Road block is supposed to be stop and search suspecting vehicles. Ask for papers and drivers license. Just for identification. If documents expired thats not the problem of the police. Road blocks is not a bad thing. But the police only thinks of extortion. They are there to make money which bring us to the problem we found ourselves.

He should ensure to atop his men from harasing young Nigerians for extortion.

He should go after this kidnappers and bandits. The EFCC boss might be next inline

Sheuns:
About the shipping from China, we can actually help with that and it gets to Nigeria in 2 weeks.

The seller only has to deliver to our China warehouse and we ship to Nigeria for you.

how much. Do you receive and deliver bulk items from alibaba to personal address in any states in Nigeria?

Question she should ask and find answers to is why Nigerian women are the least desired in the world. If a Nigeria woman travels to Europe. The high chance that she will not marry is 95%. The high chance that she will marry a sugar boy is 95%. And the high chance that she will end up with a man below her status due to her old age is 95%.

By the time Nigeria breaks. Each piece will not come out for the top 20.
