What has governorship election got to do with Atiku?

Let Atiku go there and you will see how light the crowd will be.

gantic:
Happens at any airport during peak times. An airport that seemingly has enough seats at noon might have people sitting on the floor at night. Gatwick had people sleeping on the floor during the drone incidents. In between a long haul flight, sitting on the floor actually feels better.

Another silly opinion to justify backwardness and substandard developments.

At off peak times, are there enough seats in MMA?

Was there a drone attack at MMA?

Why are you foolishly comparing rockets to apples?

Many of you are so dumb you wilfully defend the nonsense your leaders give you.

There are not enough seats at MMA because some idiot did not think of putting enough or they stole the money for it.

People don't sit on the floor in civilised airports because people with brains build these and the populace are not sufferhead idiots that are happy and accepting of rubbish like you.

MyGeneration:
ignorance is bad. Me man try and be enlightened. Grigri no be intelligence

You are a slowpoke.

Have you been to MMA before?

There are not more than 20 seats before you get to Boarding Gates.

And your dumbarse is talking about ignorance?

You think say Okada you dey ride na plane?

scholachatcopyw:
If you are well travelled you will know that they do this in all airports. They also stand in buses and sit on floors in train stations. You're not well travelled, learn from people who are exposed, it's not a Nigerian issue

I am well travelled and you obviously are not.

I don't learn anything from ignorant people that make nonsense claims.

They don't do this in Heathrow or any other advanced Western airport. They provide seats where people are supposed to wait.

When you go to those airports, you will see. Because you have been to Cotonou does not make you "well-travelled".

uuzba:
The truth is that airport is a place for travel, not an auditorium for meetings. You cannot provide seats for every single person. That is an indication of inefficiency. People come and go. in an ideal situation, nobody wants to even sit in an airport. You check in and fly away sharply. Sit in the plane. White people also sit on the ground in their airports when flights are canceled. it is just an unfortunate event.
Check BBC website, right now, people are stuck sitting in the airport because of many canceled flights. The flights are canceled because some idiot people are flying remote controlled drone (the quadcopter/helicopter toy) on the runway. That thing can scatter plane engine if it enters by mistake. And the pilots basically no wan hear long English. They canceled the flight.

Nonsense!

What nonsense are you talking about? Did they tell you they were sitting on the ground because their flights were cancelled? So are you comparing it to when flights are cancelled in the West?

You provide sufficient seats ANYWHERE you expect people to wait.

"Sufficient" should cover at least 20% of the people you expect there at the average instance or the amount of people you expect to wait more than 20 minutes.

Some of you are too used to and happy with your sufferhead lifestyles.

Mizwisdom:
Why are we inferior? If you travel through other airports you'll see the same thing. If you look well, you'll see that there's space to sit, they just feel more comfortable sitting on the floor, Oyibo don't care, let's stop this stupidity

Nonsense!

If you look at other airports in Kunta Kinteland, maybe it would be the same thing, but definitely not in airports in civilised and progressive nations.

There are no more than 20 seats at MMA before one reaches boarding gates area.

So where is the space to sit?

yvelchstores:
I am ashamed. To those asking "and so",if u travel outside the country and see how airport should be u will know that sitting on D floor is an absolute disgrace in this situation because nigerian Airport is not a" high traffic" Airport like dubai and Co . except someone can show me same scenario happening in Ghana Airport, then This is really shameful.


Nigerian youth, pls stop being mediocre and accepting below average as ok.its not OK. God help this land.

Don't mind the idiots!

Osasnidas:
They can't certainly sit on the air, this is Nigeria they should live in it the way it is, they shouldn't be treated as demigods they aren't one.

You have no sense!

Your sense is below the reasoning level that airports should have seats for all travellers, and idiots like you should not say "this is Nigeria they should live in it the way it is".

momonny:
I believe the judiciary have its way of handling its matters instead of the executive embarrassing them, its really not good

The stupidity you expose is beyond belief.

It is an "embarrassment" to enforce the law?

It should be handled differently from the normal way of enforcing the law?

Agbero waste brain!

pedrozone15:
Personally, I don't give a cow's dung if u are gay but pls don't come near me thinking of my ass, cos I would nearly kill u.
Secondly, saying majority of Africans have always been gay is a bloody, fat, n a big lie, gays are in d minority.
Thirdly being gay had never been tolerated, do u think straight guys just started kicking against ppl who are gay?
That being said, the law of d land ( Nigeria to be precise), frowns at gays and their filthy activities. If u are gay, just to respect yourself n live peacefully, quietly leave Nigeria n go to any other country.
#SAYNOTOGAYS.!!!!!!

Well said!

EmagNig:
Actor Alexx Ekubo has said that Nigerians should leave gay people alone and stop poking into other people's lifestyle.

The actor although denied being gay, but he felt the way an individual chooses to live their life should not be of concern to other people.

He wrote:



https://lailasnews.com/nigerians-should-leave-gay-people-alone-alexx-ekubo/

Let him continue deceiving himself there.

The guy is 100% certified homosexual.

If he is not an homosexual, then there are no homosexuals in Nigeria.

90m in extreme poverty?

Was this statistics from the same arse Peter Obi pulled out his "there are 2m cars in Nigeria"?

You think picture of June 2017 is what is relevant in December 2018?

My friend, next time you have nothing to contribute, don't post.

deomelllo:
Another Wendell Simlin aka Reno Omokri fraudulent scam, but the crook and identity thief got caught by online techies..

So the ranting fool was caught out.

EMMAACHILE:
Hahaha. Many stories are formulated here but this is virtually impossible.

Babyvet:
No mind am, they think people are stupid on this forum. Even the pay he mentioned did not make sense.

That is what we get when idiots get a little data.

They start making up nonsense!

yun12345:
Do u have work visa for a man pls call me on 08138132374

No, he does not!

Your rapeability value and potential is quite low.

I laugh in Swahili!

A friend of mine, a nurse moved to USA 5 months ago. She got her first pay check last week having worked for a month. As a starter in nursing, she earns $15 hourly and works on the average 16 hours : 15×16 = 240
Daily earning - $240
Monthly earnings - $6000
$6000 × N365 = N2,190, 000.00

Here in Nigeria she earns about N48, 000 monthly as a nurse here before moving to US.

If you divide her monthly earning in the US with what she earned monthly while here in Nigeria, that will be about 4 years earnings.

With the above picture, going abroad has it.

What complete nonsense!

You mean she works 16 hours a day for 25 days every month?

Continue chatting trash!

Jarus:
I'm not sure of the exact pay at NLNG, but I know it is one of the industry leaders in the oil and gas industry.

Anyone earning 1.6m gross per month will go home with about 1.2m after tax and pension deductions.

This is not impossible.

IOCs do something close to - or as good as - this. I know at least 3 of the big 5 IOCs pay entry level N1m plus net.


Don't forget NLNG is an incorporated JV of NNPC, Shell, ENI and Total. These companies second employees to NLNG and they need to be kept as comfortable as they were in these IOCs.

In other words, IOCs are the standard for NLNG.

I seriously doubt NLNG pays 1.6m net for entry level, but I will not be very surprised it pays 1.6m gross (i.e 1.2m net).

Yes, it is possible for IOCs to pay entry level up to N1.2m net per month.

But no CEO of any Oil firm in Nigeria is making N1bn in bonuses.

airsaylongcon:
Lol! We are still here arguing the figures? I already stated what industry leaders like Qatar LNG pays and how its not different.

Anyway I'm done with this.

My friend, next time, stop making up lies in your toilet and putting it in public.

You would be found out.

DKM123:
3.6million yearly for a one room apartment. Na wa.

For a room in an apartment (house sharing).

Not one room apartment.

Hedonini:
I'm not going to dispute your claims even though I have serious reservations, but I'm only going to concentrate on the pay issue as highlighted, which is really the crux of the matter.

How can you claim that NLNG's pay is "at par" with international industry standard - which should it even be up to international standard in the first place? Ok, as far as gas companies go, none is bigger than Russia's Gazprom, and my cursory checks online show that the average JUNIOR MANAGER salaries PER ANNUM is $61k, and that's even for its UK operations, in Russia, it is $31k.

https://www.emolument.com/salary-reports/companies/gazprom/11553

But you earlier suggested that 'ordinary' entry level staff at NLNG earn about N1.6m a month, which is roughly $54k per annum! To put it in context, compare NLNG's annual revenues with Gazprom's annual revenues.

I'm adamant that something doesn't add up here, and unless you can show me proof of how NLNG salaries across board are commensurate with similar companies in same industry abroad, then I believe that these kinds of ridiculous and disproportionate salaries can only stem from a corrupt reward and compensation regime.

Exactly.

Don't mind him.

Even bigger companies are not paying their staff that, but he was telling some childish lies before he was caught out.

airsaylongcon:
To address your allegation that the recent graduates hired were untalented and highly connected people, I completely disagree with this. I know someone who has zero connections in his LG let alone to be regarded as highly connected who scaled all their rigorous screening to get an offer. When asked how he got in he attributes his success to God's favour and adequate preparation. And he says all his colleagues in one way or another had similar experiences.This person I know was on a 50k job in Ibadan. I don't know how a you can describe such persons as connected. Like someone said, If you are good, you are good.

Regarding the pay, I'm certain they aren't paying beyond international industry standard. You need to compare their pay with other Gas companies and you'd find out that its at par with gas industry standard.

The company is NOT a government company as people often wrongly assume. Yes NNPC owns shares there but they DO NOT own the company outright

How many MDs of Gas companies make up to N1bn a year?

And you say you are certain they aren't paying beyond international industry standard?

ONNYX:
Your statement Sir is quite relative. The standard offer letter for many junior and intermediate positions (especially in Nigeria) are usually very simplistic stereotypes given with the understanding that they are doing you a favour.

Very senior positions in serious organizations state in very clear terms the incentive possibilities and this is usually couched as a contract or a memorandum of understanding often in multiple pages. in the course of my career I have seen this kind of contract in varied forms.

The most interesting ones I can recall right away are one for Nigerian hireling for a Swiss based Oil Trading Company and another for an Indian Candidate for a major fast moving Consumer Goods Company based in Ajao Estate. If you recall MTN in its first hirings also made great offers to the team put together to birth their operations here; recall the Aussie and the UNILAG guy?

In what part of this your write-up have you explained how "bonus paid" can be on an offer letter?

Hedonini:
Now that I know it's NLNG, I am tempted to believe. These organisations are extremely corrupt, and unbelievably corrupt corporate governance practices. They can allocate such huge salaries to themselves that are at variance with international industry best practices. It's corruption at play here, and it really sucks.

Corruption is different from Salary/Rewards.

Bonus is part of an official reward system.It would be on the books.

I am sure NLNG is extremely corrupt and their leaders are crooks, but I do not for a second think any staff there can OFFICIALLY make double or thrice what the highest paid staff in IOCs' Nigerian arms are making.

NOT POSSIBLE! That is pure NONSENSE!

Making such from corruption, I can believe. Making it as an official reward, NONSENSE!

When children that know nothing are talking nonsense and lying, one can tell.

Gogetta:
He is an expatriate. The senior partner & MD in one of the top 3 management consulting firms.

Bros, wait o.

Is that figure solely his wages or it is wages plus cost of all benefits like the Banana Island/Bourdillon accommodation with servants and 4x4s?

CROWNWEALTH019:
If its a necessary requirement for him to become the President he would have gone....

It is a necessary requirement and the crook can't go.

hisexcellency34:
The work done by Ambode is not commensurate with the huge revenue the state is generating. Look at the poor state of roads

What huge revenue?

And what do you think the "huge revenue" should have gotten/be spent on that it has not been?

nitrogen:
Chief, dont sweat it. Just take it as it is and move on. I know some PE firm in Nigeria that pay their associates (2-3 years investment banking experience) about USD100k per annum (excluding bonus ranging from 50 percent to 150 percent of base). That's minimum of about 36 million naira in a year.

Some IOCs pay grads over a million naira monthly.

This is very realistic.

dyydxx:
Give some flesh to this your claim. I'm not asking for the specific name but give the sector, industry, maybe clients they service and where there global headquarters is based? it is too anonymous to just go on dem say

The flesh around it is the one around his ass.

airsaylongcon:
I wonder why u dignify the guy with a response. Ordinary Zenith Bank MD made a billion in performance bonus he now cannot phatom the Gas company boss earning way more than that. He should first find out how much profit was made last year.

Which Zenith MD made a billion in bonus?

airsaylongcon:
Not true o! I don't want to mention the Nigerian company but these guys pay 22-24m pa pre-tax for entry level. A little more if u have children. They give stuff like "biscuit allowance" monthly

The amount most banks are paying Senior Managers in Nigeria is what this "so-hard to name and unknown" company is dishing out to graduates?

Nonsense.

Even Shell, Chevron, Mckinsey or Stanbic IBTC Investment bank are not paying that to graduates.

Continue making nonsense claims!

LeoFish92:
I've observed you on this forum, you are too insulting at any given time. Always aggressive.

Even if the dude was lying, couldn't you see the polite way he responded to you, must you descend to insults? I just hope it has not become a part of you offline.

Why would anyone come to NL and people are asking for useful information and the person thinks "oh, let me add my lie"?

Is such a person worthy of respect?

Some people only know how to destroy in Nigeria, not add value.
