PoliticsRe: Why Would A UNIBEN Professor Lie? by gabe: 9:47pm On Jan 11, 2013
He didn't lie. The research was just not quite finished and he was excited by the promising results he was getting on the field so he made a premature statement before the research had ended. If you are familiar with scientific research you know there are certain procedures to follow before arriving at logical conclusions. He also broke university protocol by going to the press unilaterally without clearance and the school examining his research properly. He apologized to save his job. I believe he has a promising drug and should be encouraged.

Self worth, oluface and co, pls stop dissing each other. Its not cowardice, but maturity to ignore an insult.
PoliticsRe: Okada Accidents Killed 107 In Two Years – LASG by gabe: 4:46pm On Oct 26, 2012
Compare that laughable statistic with car crashes, plane crashes, or even dying in one's sleep. Its so easy to ban okada when you are in a bullet proof jeep with tinted glasses. So most bank robberies are carried out by okada riders? Do leaders who have no feasible plan to reduce unemployment(except pretty impractical power point presentations in 5 star hotels to sycophantic applause ) have any justification for destroying thousands of livelihoods?

@ Kobojunkie -
I have read a few of your posts over time, but I really think you have done yourself a disservice with the above post. I would have expected you to ask questions before you jump on the typical Nigerian "na lie jor" bandwagon. Fact - My home in Lagos is at 1004 Estate, where the freaking Nazi's who run this place charge N75 per kilowatt (or per credit unit). PHCN charges N12 per kwh! The premium charged is supposed to cover diesel and maintenance, but IMHO, includes a HUGE profit margin for them. Now, In an average month when I am here, I use approximately 1200 credit units. How, you ask?? Easily - Everyday, with general kitchen appliances - a fridge/freezer, and standalone small freezer, an electric range (cooker), electric water heater turned on 2 hours in the morning, lights (yes, we switch them off when not needed), washer & dryer, tv sets, Computers, Satellite receivers, 3 fans, and no more than 2 A/C's running at night, we burn up easily 40 - 60 kwh or units per day! At N75 per kwh, Do the math.

I have met several people here on the estate who pay twice as much as I do! Yes, kobojunkie, it is for my comfort, and knowing that my baby sleeps, well, like a baby ;o)! Light is 24/7, and I dont have to worry about diesel supply (which at my previous home cost N300,000 per month!) or generator switch overs in the middle of the night. I can have a cold drink whenever I open up the fridge! We have food in the fridge that goes bad only if left uneaten for too long, not because the lights have been out for days on end! I can order fresh pasteurized milk for my son without worrying about it curdling!! Until you have lived in current day Nigeria for a period, you dont know what that means. Like I said previously, it hurts like hell to fork out the cash, but I pay it because I have effectively reduced my power bill by over 50%, and also because I am smug as hell when my family and friends run over to spend the night thanks to generator problems.

To your other point - When not in Nigeria, I live in the US, and my 5 bedroom house runs on approximately $80 except in the summer when my family of four consumes more power, then we run approximately $150 fighting the notorious Atlanta heat. Now, I NEVER, as a policy compare the way things run and cost of living in the US with Nigeria. Just my policy that keeps me sane, and frankly it is just silly to do so (Nigeria is called a developing nation for a reason, right?), makes everyone who does it sound like a spoiled over indulged child.

Lesson? 1) Ask questions when in doubt; 2) Nigeria is Nigeria, the US is the US![/quote]So u believe its okay because u can afford to pay? It didn't occur to your elitist brain cells that the energy used to power our stations have a lower cost than the US and labor costs are also lower here thus we should expect a lower rate than the US? If u like, make a monthly donation from ur big purse to PHCN. The rest of us demand fair billing!
PoliticsRe: How Much Is Your PHCN Bill For August? by gabe: 7:11pm On Sep 15, 2012
I knew PHCN would infiltrate nairaland and other social sites with crap about how we pay much less than americans for power, why our appliances are suddenly guzzling more energy etc. Keep networking. We will soon start burning your offices. THIEVES!!
PoliticsRe: How Much Is Your PHCN Bill For August? by gabe: 1:28pm On Sep 14, 2012
this is what happens when everybody enjoys the polished English of some professor or expert minister without asking questions. how on earth do you charge people different amounts for the same service? the middle class and the rich pay higher bills because they use more appliances. it is criminal to bill them at a higher price simply because they can afford to pay. so now the policies have started biting, can we shout out in the streets instead of whimpering on nairaland or facebook?

PoliticsRe: Nigerian Men Its Time To Step Down! Nigerian Women Should Rule by gabe: 7:27pm On Mar 05, 2009

Christianity EtcRe: A Question For Tithe Payers by gabe: 7:15pm On Mar 05, 2009
i think tithing should be an expression of gratitude, not a sort of 'investment' yielding returns. most people tithe out of fear, not love. and God's Son was poor and hardworking all His life, his apostles were too, in fact, the rich ones gave their wealth away.tithing doesnt protect you from the daily challenges of living, its an appreciation of the goodness of God, even if we are poor. another question, should a laborer who erns 500 a day, pay tithe to a 'God' thru a pastor who rides a private jet?

english players play big boy football, like our naija footballers. lampard and gerrard are not skilled players, they are hard workers,hard work they do for their teams-lampard-20 goals this season! take away the hard work and they are less than mediocre. thats englands problem. a lil bit of seriousness.
