This is a trend in Nigeria and it gets worse now that the economy is taking a break. In as much as I sympathise with the students the government can pay salaries of people at home not to talk of abroad with all our forex complexity. This same trend was what started the Yahoo Yahoo thingy during shagaris government. My advice to students is that they go and work I know a lot of people in UK who saw themselves through school working multiple jobs in the summer, holidays breaks, and 20hrs per week. The chances of tuition payment is slim in the present economic reality the sooner you get a job the better. |

[quote author=anonimi post=44775715]Have you heard that he who comes to equity must come with CLEAN hands. Buhari is GUILTY of the same offence- INCOMPLETE declaration of assets. IF DullardPoo wants to be taken serious he shoud first FULLY declare his own assets and explain how he got the BILLIONS for his campaign, not so  If PMB and his wife are guilty of fraud lets prove it and prosecute them, but because they are guilty doesn't exonerate me from a crime with proof.

| Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Is Guinness Nigeria Plc Downsizing? by gabicon: 9:22am On Apr 17, 2016 |
I will make reference to Dangote who said the reason why he isn't really affected by the fx crunch is that 85% of what is required to run his cement factory are gotten in Nigeria the remaining 15 is used to pay foreign experts and buy rare raw materials. The present situation is meant to stimulate local content companies like Guinness need to create an oppounity stimuli for the raw materials they need locally thereby decreasing cost of production. Same goes to other coys they have been in Nigeria too long to be importing what we can produce locally that is one way to create jobs and when income earners generally increases there is increases customers, it's a win win for coys. Local content is key to growth. 1 Like |

It's quite unfortunate we are treating the saraki saga with levity, I hear agreements like others stole too why is it only him and my answer is the cure to madness starts from one pill, persecution or not the man is a thief who has robbed not this generation but that yet unborn we got weak social amenities in Kwara, yet our medical doctor govonor owns mansions all over the world, we care not to ask what for of business appart for government is he involved in.

Our refineries are moribund and they need to be sold if there is to be any chance of product self sufficiency. History backed with Statistics has shown that government can't manage any production facility and we really need to work on policy sustainability cause OBJ sold the refineries n yaradua reversed it, sold to cronies or not the fact is that for the past nine years we have been stagnant, now same person he sold it to is building a refinery with a capacity of 29million litres of fuel daily come 2018. |

| Investment › Re: Are Banks Legally Supposed To Charge Parallel Rate For Online Transactions? by gabicon: 2:46pm On Apr 01, 2016 |
The problem is that banks are not making as much money as they did a year ago due to the downturn of the economy. So how do they pay their bills n salaries? they get dollars from CBN at Offical rates and sell at the Offical rate according to the books, but instead they sell at parallel market price the differential is what they use to supplement bills likes salaries and utilities. Are CBN aware of this development? Yes I believe so, but they choose to be silent because the books says Offical price and secondly they may have to choose between the present arrangement and the banks underperforming which will lead to flood of sack letters. You can get d dollar at Offical rate if you are bringing in stuffs that will enhance export like farm implement etc. 1 Like |

To be fair on fayose I've seen him commission a dualized road and some Street lights of late. Back to the rice sharing, fayose is a smart politician, with a mantra get the people's stomach you get their support thats why till date he is still the most loved govonor in ekiti unlike fayemi speaking big grammar to hungry stomach. By the way any state that replicates this project will be greeted by a mammoth followership. Do the ekiti people deserve better I think they do, how do they get better? I believe by flushing the we have the most educated individuals in the country down the toilet and birth the most educated and sofisticated people in the country. |

The fact is they have too many redundant employees, 50% of employees do nothing n collect salary n pension. Case study are the refineries they haven't been working for years yet staffs are being paid. I'm of the opinion that an organisation like nnpc should be a profit making entity Meaning remit the federations money, do business make money pay salaries declare profit back to the state. NTA should be next they cant just be collecting money from FG with the huge infrastructure they have, they need to fend for themselves and make profit for the state. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

I hear a lot of submission here she ought to submit, but that's just a side of the coin, the other side says love your wife, if I love my wife will I bring someone into our home without her consent? Marriage is a partnership, how effective will a body be if the left side works against the right? So also must spouses work together. Let's look at it this way wives submit to the love of your husband and husband's show love to the submission of your wife I make decisions as head in the home that my wife builds.
