There is nothing extra ordinary about Lagos IGR generation. The taxes are taken mostly from corporate workers, whose deductions are done at source. Companies are also complying but in other states of the federation, the economies are too informal and taxing informal businesses and sectors is extremely difficult.

As long as Nigerian business sectors are largely informal, IGR will never go up.

Solars are powering whole cities.

At a very high cost. For retail users, it would be expensive to get solar that would power the whole appliances. I had to calculate my load usage to get the most cost effective solar set up.

How does this relates to the topic? You should stop having these fantasies of an utopian nation. Your governors, whom you elected are not delivering basic infrastructure and you are not doing anything about it but waiting to have an imaginary country where everything will be an eldorado. Please, wake up.

You are lucky, you get 18hrs from Public Supply!
Sometimes l dont get 5hrs in my area.
I currently have an Inverter and combine battery capacity of 12,000AH but the short power supply does not allow them to charge fully.
Now, l intend to buy ten Units of that 535W Solar Panel but the Price is just rising astronomically and that is what is annoying me right now, It keeps raising my budget. I need more batteries and at least a 5KVA Hybrid Inverter and my budget is swelling right in my face.

Nothing can beat public power supply because no matter the equipment or wattage, it would carry it and you can use anyhow.
All these Green Energy are limited in what they can do, except you are ready to really invest, as in heavy investment like #10M, before you can really say you are free to use as you like on Solar!
My eyes don see red.

You should note that inverter/solar are not meant to replace grid totally. You are not using solar to power an AC or water heater. My solar or inverter are to power LED bulbs, fan, charge phones and laptops and provide you basic comforts at home.

My deep freezers, ACS, and other high energy appliances are to be powered by grid or generator.

I hope the president have the interest of all Nigerians at heart? I have always doubted his love for people that are not his immediate kinsmen. For him to have the boldness to confront Alhaji Lam Adesina, the former governor of Oyo State, asking him why his people were killing his people, the herders that were causing mayhem in Oyo during the Obasanjo time. A former president, descending so low to lead an ethnic group to a meeting to confront a sitting governor. How then will he be fair to all in this country.

The president's nepotistic stand and leaning is fueling the insecurity in this country. He should be seen to be father to all but he is too divisive, both in words and action.

I am not a supporter of violence but this Igboho guy is a determined fighter unlike the Albino in Uk, posting pictures of his expensive lifestyles online for his demented followers to masturbate on.

Unicem is 3400

And these wicked dealers within Badore axis are selling between 3700 to 3800

theForth:
The floor looks like time sha.

You are correct. Times ceramics.

Ever8090:
Nawaooo...afonja don get mind, hope him no go jakpa like Awolowo when stage don set?

What of the Albino in Uk? He is in UK enjoying himself, eating the best food, f*cking his wife all night and posting the pictures for his brainless supporters to masturbate on; cashing out big time from uninformed donors while his stupid followers are languishing in jail

As someone said before, Sunday is a better leader. He is here to face any eventuality. He is not afraid of anything. Even Shekau was a good leader in his stupidity, staying in Sambisa with his followers till the very end.

You guys should stop all these chest beating. It has not taking you any where.

Mup4life:
Hello sir pls what's the name and size of the floor and wall tiles they actually look very good.

I think the floor is 2sqm, while the wall is 18sqm.

Modify:

I thought you meant measurement of the toilet areas. The tiles are goodwill or Royal products. I don't know the exact names except if I check the carton. But I saw them and picked them at Odun Ade market. The Nigerian tiles I bought were either Goodwill or Royal

rmx:
Why do you need the shower in the visitors toilet

It was deliberate.

henrymor:
Hi guys,

Thanks for always helping out. I need your help again. My tiler gave me an estimate and suggested that I should use 60×60 Spain, Italian or CDK for the ante room, sitting room, and dining room. Then use Good wlll for other places in the house.

After making my findings I got to know that spain, Italian, and CDK are between 9k and 10k. This is expensive for me. Please, can you suggest the best Nigerian product with almost the same quality as those imported tiles that I can use and get at an affordable price?

Thanks!

All Nigerian tiles are good. Just make proper enquiry. I was a pro Italian/Spanish tile before but the prices are on the high side and I needed to save money to do other things. I first bought a few Nigerian tiles to be used in the bathrooms and kitchen to see how it would look.

The tiler has completed the visitors toilets with the Nigerian Goodwill tiles and I am now constrained to use Nigerian made tiles 100% for the whole areas of the building. Attached is the first work did by the tiler (visitors toilet) using Nigerian tiles and it turned out good the way I wanted. I earlier wanted to use white Spanish wall tiles and brown wooden floor tiles. The Nigerian own still appeared ok.

If you are building on a budget, save yourself the stress and channel the extra fund to other things. Cement for the tiling is not smiling at the moment.

OgogoroFreak:
If you spend 40yrs on a problem, you can rest assured you have misdiagnosed the root cause!!

Here are 30-40yr old headlines... yet, someone said Nigeria will be great again.

Nigeria would be great are for those that wants to be deceived. The current political and economic structure of the country do not support any meaningful development now or in the future. I don't buy the deception from our men of God to keep praying while the same headlines make the front pages of the news paper, year in, year out.

Find ways to make yourself indifferent to Nigeria's situation to avoid high BP. Plan as if you are not expecting anything better. Always have your plan B according to Pastor Paul. I wonder how it would be in the years to come. Say in the next 30 years with the current economic and political situation.

I fear who no fear for the future of this country

True and that is a good thing for space management.
And they are becoming excessively Expensive!
122K for 535W Panel!
Alternative Power in Nigeria is becoming even more expensive than PHCN!
I checked the price of this same rating about a Month ago and it was between #65K - #70K, depending on brand.
Na wa o.

In the long run, I don't think so. I invested in inverter and batteries and for the past 8 years, I have been enjoying uninterrupted power supply. In my current area, we usually have up to 18hours of power supply in a day. In those hours without power, my inverter takes over. Sometimes, when fully charged, I disconnect from public supply, making my monthly power purchase to fall drastically. I cant even remember buying fuel for my generator.

Now, I want to take it further by adding solar. Initial cost outlay is high as I intend to get two of that 535w Canadian mono instead of having four parallel solar panels. I will completely disengaged from public power and switch back during cloudy weather. Make no mistake about it, cost of power from public supply will keep going high. I have applied for prepaid meter for my new build but yet to get response from EKEDC, after more than 11 months.

They have been bringing outrageous bills to people living in that estate. Imagine getting a bill of 30k every month for non existing power. This has propelled me to get this solar even though is being financed via loans. Solar and clean energy is the future. It takes out inconvenience and stress from you.

This may likely be a possibility. Probably testing the waters. If this current insecurity continues in 2023, there won't be any election and this proclamation would be made by the president.

SaintLucia:
5% and their terrorists IPOB should be more concern about how investors are leaving the SADEAST...... First Bank has closed 65 branches there, other banks will soon follow..... Election are not won on social media...... Remo Omoburuku and co did series of online poll against Buhari but at the end of the day God pass them. Buhari and Jagaban real voters are not on social media. It seems the last senatorial by-election in Lagos where the APC candidate won has not taught the likes of Remo Omoburuku a lesson.

Finally insult Buhari or Tinubu on social media can only give you 1000likes but if you do that on the streets, it will attract you serious BEATING. If I like ask Charly boy, Deji Adeyanju, Sowore and those two guys that chop beating for Kogi. We owned the streets....

Louder!!!

The ignorance of the people in that region is legendry. I don't understand the thinking honestly. I have to come to understand that Igbos outside the SE think correctly and are much more disposed to other people, while those in SE are the ones spewing all this rubbish, wallowing in cheer ignorance, supporting destructive tendencies that has no bearing with development.

You don't cut off your head to spite your nose. I am still at loss while they were hailing those UGM. This was how Boko started.

He would definitely loose the online voting by wide margin, but will win convincingly when the actual election is held. Online voters do not have voters card and those with voters card do not vote online.

adeskee:
Ok
Guys pls come to my rescue.

I applied for several foreign job through indeed,I can say 60% of them shortlisted my name for interview.(Security job)
The problem naw is that immediately I replied by telling that I'm in Nigeria and ready to relocate,they will tell me alot of locals with same or more experience can fill my position.

Guys pls help me, what's the way out? advice on me on what to include on my CV that would attract them to invite me over irrespective of my present location.

You cant do anything. Most foreign based companies wont go through stress of sponsoring you to come and do work that ordinary locals could do. Their government wont even approve the sponsorship. This action of yours is what create panic and pressure. Once you see that you are not entitled to work within that country, there is no need stressing yourself. Focus your attention on where you have superior advantage like permission to work.

UK/Canada/US/EU/Gulf States hardly permit employers to bring in foreigners to do jobs that locals could do. I have done some consultancy jobs for some NGO that specifically requested that you must be a Nigerian to apply and not open to international consultants. Some will advertise for consultancy jobs in Nigeria and make it clear that the job is opened to only international consultants or expatriates. I don't waste my time applying.

I feel you bro

You have to be strategic! If you are to apply for jobs via LinkedIn, don't apply for any job that comes your way, tweaking your CVs to suite each. Maintain your CV and focus on one particular area of interest.

Alternatively, disconnect from LinkedIn to be able to tweak your CV to suite the particular job you are applying. This is because potential employers go to LinkedIn to check your profile. If your profile differs from what you submitted, Oyo na your name. I removed my profile and qualifications from LinkedIn. This has enabled me to apply directly to companies, changing my CV and work experiences to suite different circumstances without fear of being checked out on LinkedIn.

But I love that design. It looks portable and if it could get the job done, who cares how it looks.

But truly, SA is far ahead of Nigeria. That university is a third rated university in SA but see how neat and inviting it looks.

SA is far developed than most African countries. I wished the British had remained in Nigeria up to the 90s. The country would have been better. That's why Southern African countries are far more developed than West and central Africa.

I understand you OP. But from the look of things, you seems like a strict person and a micro manager. Your wife's behaviour is not different from mine when it comes to money and giving it freely to people.

I will struggle to give her money and at the end, some of the money will end up with people who are most in need of her mercy, even though she is not working. I ignore and move on. If I start business for her in future, I am sure she would use half of her income to do 'Christmas' for people.

She just got short-listed for the Npower program and she had alreaady promised her sister that was not short-listed N10k every month from the supposedly 30k that would be paid her. She didn't consider how she would relieve me of family expenses, though she helps with little she has or whenever her rich relatives gives her money. I don't bother myself about all these because I want to have a peaceful home.

OP, please free her, be her teacher and mentor. Guide her, don't intimidate her and she would come to love you more and more. Show concern to her and be her counsellor. Don't see yourself as the owner and ultimate decision maker.

Marriage requires patience, tact and understanding. Focus more on other important things that matter to you and once in a while, carry out checks and audit of her business and advises where necessary. As the leader of the home, patience is key. I always tell young men to be patient with their wives and serve as a guide. She will always cherish you.

My wife was very young when I married her. Just 22 years and she has grown under my tutelage and it is a continuous thing. So, please lead her and points out areas you need her to improve on in total love without being mean, demanding and authoritarian.

hope she wrote it down after the test.cos I use my email and the password I reset after the test and it work

Before logging into the biometric app, it requested for the application ID not email and password. That page you posted, did you delete that NPWR to put your email?

Question, are those colleagues truthfully to you on what they are going through silence between first five years of their arrival in Canada. Trust me is not that It’s not that smooth as people think. Every country as it’s own internal problems.

Don't read or see it from the prism of Naira and kobo or dollar and penny. For some people, the comfort of living in a civilised society cannot be traded for anything.

As a graduate student, I lived in St. Andrews, UK for three years, working as a social worker. I wasn't rich but I was comfortable, living within minimum wage, with comfortable accommodation, access to basic necessities and assured security.

Sometimes, people look beyond financial success in their quest to live abroad. All those colleagues I mentioned are not rich in Canada. Some left their owned duplexes here in Nigeria for two bedroom basement apartment in canada.

Some are currently doing warehouse and county jobs and are yet to break into corporate canada. You can never take away the peace and comfort the state of canada offers to its citizens and residents.

Zule:
this the error i get after downloading the software and trying to log in any help

My wife is getting the same error message. She tried using her email and password also but the same thing. She couldn't delete the NPWR to input her email.

She then used her application ID and the password of her mail as the password, the same error message

EgunMogaji2:
The story read that there was a female passenger with him that they’re looking for.

Maybe it’s time to go hang out in the USA for while. Nigeria seems hot at the moment.

The current situation of the country, politically and economically have made some of us that have decided to stay to look stupid and insane.

Family, friends and former colleagues have kept asking what I and my family are still doing in Nigeria. But everybody cannot run away. As at the last count, I have 19 of them, former colleagues in Canada now. People don run comot finish for this country.

Every graduate or youth major concerned is how to leave the country. It has never been bad like this.

They’ve killed my favorite stockist

——————————

A 51-year-old popular businessman, Maduabuchi Owuamanam, has been murdered by unknown gunmen in Ibadan, Oyo State.

It was gathered that Owuamanam, the CEO of Blessed Maduabuchi Nigeria Limited, was shot and stabbed to death by the assailants while driving in his bus along Mokola-Sango Road in Ibadan around 8pm on Saturday, May 29.

According to eyewitness, after shooting Owuamanam, the assailants stabbed him multiple times with a knife on the left side of his chest to make sure he did not survive.

A passerby, who saw the victim in a pool of blood was said to have alerted his workers. He was rushed to a hospital where he was later confirmed dead.

It was further gathered that a woman was in the bus with the victim when the attack happened but her whereabouts is unknown.

Spokesperson of the State Police Command, DSP Adewale Osifeso, who confirmed the incident in a statement on Sunday, said that investigation commenced immediately to unravel the circumstances surrounding the gruesome murder of Owuamanam.

Osifeso said that the incident was reported to the Police at about 22:10 hrs on Saturday by the wife of the deceased, Christiana.

“The deceased was allegedly attacked and eventually murdered by unknown assailants around a relaxation spot at Oremeji Mokola area of Ibadan. Investigations are in top gear to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident and apprehend the perpetrators of the dastardly act,” the PPRO stated.

He, however, called for calm among residents in the state, saying that the Police are already making progress with investigations.

Could it be business gone wrong or from competitors? That was a pure assassination. I read this story. The death must surely be business related. These traders could be mean and brutal when it comes to settling scores.

It is gradually coming home. Let the supporters of violence continue with their stupidity. The much anticipated Anambra airport will not see the light of the day as the violence in the areas ramps up and their useless supporters continue to wallow in ignorance. You think that people will risk their lives to fly from Lagos, Abuja or overseas to Anambra?

There has not been any major foreign direct investment in the East in the last 7 years and the people think that things are normal. Graduate unemployment has reached a record level there and most of the people from the zone are trooping into Lagos and Ogun state seeking for employment. Buying and selling is seen as a hubby over there, which does not create large scale employment.

Development is usually the first casualty of violence and those supporting it would be affected one way or the other. Those causing violence in the East should be called to order. There is no reason to support them as violence in whatever disguise will not solve any problem. Agreed that this current FG is a total failure, patience should be exercised as their exit is less than 2 years from now.

Northernblood3:
I DONT KNOW WHO HE IS BUT THE NAME SOUNDS MORE LIKE A TERRORIST AND TERRORISTS ARE NO LONGER TOLORATED

You are the most stupid person I have ever seen on Nairaland. So, a Nigerian can not come to Owerri again? This food you all are cooking, when it is done, I hope you would gladly eat it. Stupid set of ignorant people. Continue deceiving yourselves. It is your region that would be destroyed completely. I pity your folks making their living outside the SE.

goatgoat093:
Meanwhile we are still waiting for work to commence in Osun state airport project, Tinubu come and 'epp us oooo!

All these are not necessary. I don't know why you guys have made chest beating a hubby. The southwest you are castigating is playing host to a lot Igbo owned businesses that cannot survive in Igbo land. The SW still control and host 70% of Nigeria corporate business and one of the most developed regions in Nigeria according to UNDP report.

See politicians as your problem and not some folks from the SW or North. Be liberal and eschew bitterness and hatred. You have a common enemy- your leaders.

Innoson go soon cash out big time. Nice business moves. He should work with FG to be given the concession as a service operator or else the FG I know will bring one company some where to provide those services and damn the consequences.

See how Airpeace chairman, Mr. Onyema, keyed in to FG and parleyed them. If not, FG would have finished him by handing him over to FBI, US based on that fraud allegation with overwhelming evidence. FG just shielded him. Any Bleep from him now, FG will react. He has been singing the praises of FG lately and his business has been moving. That's how it is supposed to be done.

In Nigeria, you have to be diplomatic and intentional about your desire. Sentiments, phobia and threats do not get you favour or support.

Kai, see how account numbers just dey move up and down. Mehn, guys are hungry o. Buhari don finish this country kpatakpata
