Politics / Re: "Invest In Lagos At Your Own Peril" - Maryanne Moghalu by gabicon: 1:07pm On May 01 |
OldBeer: Business issues like this are not solved by rantings, the owner of landmark has continually been trying to use public opinion to solve this problem and it hasn't worked. He needs to get his powerful friends to help him get an audience with Mr president when ever he is in Lagos, invite him to landmark beach, show him around and get the staff to meet him, after which pitch the alternative route to him. There is a reason why dangote, Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu etc always get their way, its the relationships they build. 1 Like |
Family / Re: My Wife Always Threatens To Leave Our Marriage Anytime We Have Issues by gabicon: 4:21pm On Apr 30 |
Valoromega: I think your wife may be a little immature, all leaving the marriage drama, is simply aimed at getting your attention. She simply wants to feel like the prize she truly is. It is one thing to get her to stop saying this, it's another thing for her to shift to another gimmick of attention seeking. I will suggest you solve the problem from it's roots, the next time she says she wants to leave do not stand in her way, let her go, don't say any hurtful words to her just an ok. Two things different scenarios will play out. The first is that she realises that her bluff isn't working again and the second is that she truly leaves. If she does leave immediately call the father or father figure in and let him know his daughter has dumped the marriage and is on her way to his house (make sure you control the narrative). She will eventually come back, before she does, make sure you have a conversation on effective communication, arguements, and outbursts. That conversation should set the tone for communication. You will be shocked that her agitation comes from you raising your voice or stuffs like that. Please remember your child needs the both of you, you are not the problem, she is not the problem, effective communication is the problem, so fix it. |
Politics / Re: John Ayoh: How I Collected $600,000 Bribe For Emefiele by gabicon: 2:55pm On Apr 30 |

AmazingGenius: The question becomes "is a 10 year CBN governor tenure worth all this wahala?" A CBN governor that doesn't even know how to receive a bribe, using staff of the bank to collect cash. It's just sad. |
Politics / Re: Nigeria, not yet ripe For State Police - IGP Egbetokun by gabicon: 2:57pm On Apr 22 |
fergie001: In a way I agree with him, our state governments have not matured enough and hence cannot find and manage a police system. We need to change laws like the land use act in such a way that it brings prosperity to individual, then the state can tax those individuals. Our state and local governments are weak. |
Business / Re: What Made The Dollar Fall Over Night? by gabicon: 11:47am On Apr 22 |
Qwertyuiop1: CBN has a tight grip on the exchange rate as we speak so hopes of getting higher rates are slim. The true value of the naira is about #1200/$, during the Buhari government it's value should have been about #800/$ but they kept the value artificial for political reasons. Cut your losses and move on. You clearly don't have an appetite for high risk investment, you should stick to low risk instruments like money market and treasury bills. |
Education / Re: I See Membership Of Alumni Whatsapp Groups As WASTE Of Time: Am I Wrong? by gabicon: 1:21pm On Apr 17 |
VinnyBaba: I think you may need to consider the purpose of some of these groups before you make a conclusion. Many of these groups are just social expressions of the good old days, that in itself is not bad, because it's a form of entertainment people happen to like. I have been on a number of old students group and most of not all have been a total waste of time, job opportunities were not shared, business partnerships were not formed, there were very few collaboration, even networking wasnt strong. They did a few seminars, a lot of give away, quiz about the past, and plenty of hangout some cliques wars were fought. I came to a conclusion that intentionality is key in the creation of groups, purpose has to be clearly defined. Collaboration is not one of our forte as a people so it is difficult for us to practice it in bigger groups. 3 Likes 1 Share |
Politics / Re: FG Now Pays About ₦600 Billion Monthly For Fuel Subsidy - Rainoil CEO by gabicon: 12:51pm On Apr 17 |
Lizzysamuel: Mr Ogbechie is speculating, he is right that the government may be subsidising petrol but he can't prove the price or how such subsidy is paid. The subsidy might be in form of crude for petrol exchange or cash, but one sure thing is that the marketers are not being paid subsidy. |

Travel / Re: Landmark Property Will Be Intact, No Job Will Be Lost — Umahi by gabicon: 6:22pm On Apr 11 |
Morbeta11: According to the minister "250 meters from the shoreline belongs to the FG", who sold landmark the property of the FG? Who approved the landmark project in the first place, knowing fully well that the shoreline belongs to the FG? Why is Lagos state demolition thirsty after they must have given a nod to the project in the first place.These things don't make make sense. |
Politics / Re: The Worst Of Labour Party Is Better Than The Best Of APC, Says Kenneth Okonkwo by gabicon: 12:11pm On Apr 11 |
Fareke: This is very untrue, labour party has been a small party for long, a little limelight that Obi gave the party, the Nigeria effect begins to show. The more the power the worse the party becomes. Some overzealous fellow like Mr Okonkwo don't understand the realism of Nigerian politics, they live in idealism. |
Politics / Re: Philip Shaibu: Lessons In Power - Reuben Abati by gabicon: 1:44pm On Apr 10 |
First of all, there has never been any governor Vs deputy governor battle in Nigeria were the deputy came out triumphant. The lesson to this is never mess with the boss. I expected that Oga Philip will go back to the national assembly, consolidate there and come back to stake a claim to the gubernatorial ticket. 7 Likes |

Politics / Re: Abuja Businessman Reacts As Hoodlums Invade, Loot His Warehouse by gabicon: 8:03am On Mar 05 |
Man102: One of the reasons I fear revolution in Nigeria is that many people do not understand what a revolution is, or who and what it is targeted at. How can anyone call looting of someone's warehouse a revolution, how can we call a crime a revolution? We have a lot of problems as a nation, adding entitlement to it isnt going to help the least bit. 1 Like |

Religion / Re: Can You Give Your Tithe To Your Parents Or Christians In Need sometimes? by gabicon: 10:09am On Feb 25 |
Corrections: Your submission is incorrect, God never instructed Christians to pay tithe. You are mistaking Jewish law with Christianity. The law given to Christian is cheerful generous giving. I think the biggest issue that has brought about the whole tithe arguement is the inability to understand that the church operates as a spiritual house and an organisation at the same time. Proponent of the spiritual house refuse every structure to giving and expect God to provide for his church while proponents of church organisation believe that some form of giving structure has to be put in place to ensure planning and smooth running of the church. Every organisation requires some form of fixed income or cash flow to run seamlessly, what the church has done is to incorporate a system that worked for the Jewish community to help the church run smoothly. If you commit to be a part of this system, you can't in anyway give your tithe to another cause because the church is depending on it to get things done. Give the church what you have commited to giving it and your parents what you have commited to giving them. TITHEING is not by force! The biggest gift God has given mankind is salvation and it is far greater than tithe, that same salvation is not by force it is a choice so is tithe. However, God loves a cheerful giver, and we are encouraged to give to all especially to those of the household of faith which is the church. |
Family / Re: My 13 Years Old Has Become Terrible! I Want To Send Her Back To Nigeria by gabicon: 2:06pm On Feb 24 |
Mrperfecto: Understanding how to help your daughter will require more information. First of all how was and is your relationship with her mother? Does she still have contact with her? You operate a blended family, do you even understand the dynamics of a blended family? Depending on when your wife became a guardian to your daughter, they should blend together either on a mother to daughter level or a guardian to ward level, a resistance in authority is a big indicator that you just assumed that things will be fine without creating a working system to make them fine. You can decide to send her to Nigeria with the hope that hardship will cure her, but it's 50-50. I will advise you get a family life professional that you all can see so as to get to the root of the matter, she has some grievances that needs healing. You need to do it ASAP because of the phase of training she is in. 2 Likes |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Guinean Military Junta Dissolves Government, Seals Country’s Borders by gabicon: 2:54pm On Feb 20 |
FuglyGurl: I'm not sure why people support coups, if we look across Africa over time, we will realise that coup government haven't made the lives of citizens of any country better. Coup starts with them selling hope of a better future, then they taste the resources of the country, after which normalizaton occurs. Africa needs to find better ways of governing themselves and this better way starts with the administration of criminal justice. |
Politics / Re: Hardship: Nigeria Almost On The Road To Venezuela – PDP Governors by gabicon: 3:55pm On Feb 13 |
Kuginzi: Our governors are the biggest problem we have, they do close to nothing. Building roads and bridges is not work, a 100level student given the finances can award contracts to build infrastructure, our governors don't control security apparatus, they don't lobby for investment into their states, they don't protect businesses in their environs, they don't control mineral resources. WHAT PRODUCTIVE THING EXACTLY DO OUR GOVERNORS DO? Since Tinubu became president, their allocation have increased, what are they doing with these resources. A citizen is more likely to build prosperity under a working governor than a working president. It is agreed that our constitution ties cuts off one of the arms of a governor, but what about the other arm? |

Sports / Re: Full List: Afcon 2023 Awards by gabicon: 12:40pm On Feb 12 |
buharibanjo: Congratulations to all the award winners. I thinks we need to get rid of the Nigerian coach B4 the world cup. We need to get a proper NO 10 and a defensive midfielder or hope that Ndidi will be fit by then. We have the most prolific No9 in the world but no adequate midfield to feed him. Iwobi can't play 10, those shoes are too big for him to fill, we couldn't hold the ball and drive in, we had to resort to short passes that we eventually lost the ball. If I were the coach I would have gotten wingers to run on the flangs and cross thereby reducing pressure on the middle. 2 Likes |
Education / Re: Nigerian Students Abroad Groan Over Naira Free Fall by gabicon: 12:31am On Feb 03 |
Lisalil: The dollar scarcity issue is a reflection of our productivity as a nation. Chinese people do not look to their government for Forex, they make what the world needs and earn Forex. Swiss sells chocolates and luxury goods to earn Forex. Nigerians don't want to sell anything to the world or even buy local produce but expect their president to some how make Forex available. Out of 10 ships that berth in our ports only one goes back with goods. To satisfy our consumption appetite we need to earn commensurate Forex. 1 Like |

Business / Re: Kingsley Moghalu Reveals The Problem With The Naira by gabicon: 9:51am On Jan 26 |
We all know the problem, how do we solve it in a non textbook manner. I run a manufacturing business, we have 3 phase equipments and voltage sensitive single phase equipments. For months now we don't get complete 3 phases and even the single phase is not 220v. So to run efficiently, we have to do so on diesel, that alone has taken the competitive edge. Manufacturing is not about being indigenous, it's about how competitive you can be, the main reason multinational manufacturing plants are closing down is because they can't effectively compete in global space. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Politics / Re: Cut All The Expenses Of Every Aspect Of The Government By 60% – Obi Tells FG by gabicon: 8:59am On Jan 11 |
DamnnNiggarr: Controling a state and a country are two different ball games, the vested interests are very different. We seem to under estimate the amount of people benefiting from the inefficiency of our government. The minute you touch their money, they keep you busy with insecurity, increase in crime rate, and general unrest, cutting down government cost by 60% is great, but it has to be done gradually, any bullish approach will force these elements to unite against a common enemy. This is how politics is played, you can't run politics based on idealistically, you run it realistically. President Obasanjo tried the idealistic approach he saw pepper he switched to real approach, that's the only way your plans of doing good for the nation can survive. 1 Like |
