PoliticsRe: Why Enugu Government Imposed Tax On Dead Bodies – Revenue Board by Focusmind: 12:26pm On Oct 13, 2024
This Enugu internal revenue services and stupidity must be siamens twins. The other day, through the ministry of environment, they imposed solar energy tax on those using solar to generate their own electricity. That agency needs total overhaul like the way mechanics overhaul diesel engines. Enugu that is looking for money had money to host that lady that won beauty pagent and appointed her as an ambassador under the State's government payroll.

Party leaders at the ward levels are nothing but hungry people. See how they are all looking like hired touts. Once you want to mess up any politician, bribe the ward chairman of his party and he would issue a suspension or expulsion letter.

He is not escaping jail. Just ensure that his assets are not shared by his wife and other family members.

He may likely not escape life imprisonment or life behind bars for long

Foreign AffairsRe: SA Defies SADC On AFDB, Nominates Own Candidate To Replace Adesina by Focusmind: 4:52pm On Oct 08, 2024
Francophone people are many in that AFDB

Most consultancy jobs goes to people from Francophone countries as people from Francophone are heading some of the juicy positions already

Those of us that are consultants are aware of the divisions in that organization between Anglophone and Francophone country.

If you look at the names of decision makers in that bank, mostly are from Francophone countries.

If that Senegalese man enters, he would continue in that tradition of Francophone domination.

I prefer the lady from SA or the Zambian counterparts but certainly, not the Senegalese.

Taiwo Oladele, Chairman of presidential Committee on tax and fiscal reform, is doing a fantastic job. I am happy that Mr. President is giving full support. When you appoint a square peg in a square hole, the result is what you see.
EducationRe: "How I Knew You Can Be A Failure In School And Excel In Real Life" - True Storyy by Focusmind: 12:58pm On Oct 04, 2024
purples25:
I like this story. If only every school would put in the patience to make stars of the slow students. But they often collect the fees and abandon the child. It's so sad when they focus on their star students and leave those struggling to rot.
You are observant and thinking. There is this woman in my neighbourhood. Her kids are in the same school with my kids but her kids were struggling academically. She kept complaining to the proprietress that the school were not doing enough to support her struggling kids. The proprietress told her that she should do her own part as the school has done their best for her kids. She should create time to also support her kids at home with home work and their studies. She said being a single parent has been tasking for her as her husband is not in Nigeria.

She didn't take the way the school responded to her lightly and withdrew them from the school and put them in a neighbourhood school with low enrolment. Each class has less than 5 people. She told me she is happy with the one- on- one attention the current school is giving her kids and they are improving.

PoliticsRe: Nigerians Are Tired, They Will Change This Government In 2027 – Kwankwaso by Focusmind: 8:23pm On Oct 03, 2024
Kwankwaso and Obi are agents of the current regime. Trust me, give it to PBAT. The two were used to stop Atiku. Who told Obi and Kwankwaso that they had a chance in the last election? Obi was used to cut the sure odds for Atiku and Kwakwanso completed the assignment in Kano. Nigeria politics is the more you look, the less you see.

Invest in Solar instead of paying the huge Band A bills

My solar saves me nothing less than 35k monthly. My recharge is around 20k for NEPA consumption. If I was not using solar, I should be spending close to 60k monthly on bills. IKEDC Band A bill na die, but they are doing well. They have been consistent with the minimum of 20hrs light in a day

See data!!! Nothing dey sweet me pass report with well written data, backed by numbers. You can't do any research without data, both historic and current. One of the issues we encountered as postgraduate students in UK in the late 2000s, researching on Nigeria or Nigeria's matter was lack of reliable data. Our supervisors at the University refused any research work presented with Nigerian content, as they questioned the reliability of data used in our research work. Despite the fact that we had substantial Nigerian students, the faculty insisted we used British based references or EU based references for research. But for students from other countries, they were allowed to research on something from their own home countries. Numbers and pictures tells more stories than writing pages of words in any report.
PoliticsRe: Over 40% Of Nigerians Now Enjoy 20 Hours Regular Electricity Supply – Minister by Focusmind: 5:09am On Sep 30, 2024
I may agree with this assertion from my own personal experience. My area is under "band A", and we have light up to 20 to 24 hours daily. However, the charges are huge. You pay N225 instead of the N65. But I am using solar to offset the cost. I power my house on solar during the day and NEPA at night, to manage the IKEDC bill on band A users.
PoliticsRe: Anambra LG Polls Witness Low Turnout, Absence Of Electoral Officials by Focusmind: 7:31am On Sep 29, 2024
This is the strategy most of the governors are adopting in conducting the local government elections. There won't be any sensitization on the upcoming elections; they will delay the arrival of INEC materials in connivance with scrupulous officials; elections will be held with fewer or no voter and boom!, results would be announced and all the annointed candidates by the governor are sworn in. Those praising president Tinubu for signing local government autonomy into law do not understand Nigeria. The governors can go at any length to maintain total control of local government funds, its allocation and expenditures. Do you think that the governor of Kano state would allow the 44 local governments chairmen to control the huge allocations that comes into the local governments account from the federation account? He would do everything to maintain control and dish out patronage as he wishes. The control of the local government gives the governors unfettered powers to control the grassroots and maintain political power. As they say, "politics is local." How do you expect the governors to relinquish control of that local structure of the politics? In Nigeria, money is everything and who controls the money, controls the people and influences decisions, actions and outcomes.

Lots of people in Lebanon are happy with this man's death. Hezbolla has been a torn in the flesh of ordinary citizens of Lebanon, who wished to be left alone in peace and not drawn into a wider conflict with Israel. Since Hezbolla is a powerful political and military bloc in Lebanon, the Lebanese government has been unable to tame them.
