Were some results withheld? Particularly, schools that were complained about like Kings College, Lagos etc.

I need to bookmark this page. I need revisit it from time to time.

Satazaa:
making money to feed their families shouldn't make them exploitative and cheating, is 1M profit margin not enough?

What is N1M to N44M? That is a very low margin. For a profuct whose cost price is that high, rate of turnover wouldnt be as quick and there are associated cost to holding stocks. If the total cost of importation and staging is N44M, N6M in margin is low but acceptable. I would expect it be priced at least N52.5M.

No big deal. I didn't do reception as I do not believe in the fanfare and I'm sure many did the same before me and many have done it after me.

The relationship did not start in your life time perhaps you should research how it evolved over time
I.am curious about this US in Canada who are you talking about
Who is this US that looked down on East African what group are you referring to

US in this case refers to Nigerians.

Nnamdipapa:
I have been following on Tiktok and the main reason why I made the topic about the Foundational Black Americans denying their African heritage.

To be frank, As a diasporan, I have never looked down on any BA. Also, among fellow diasporians, I can't remember anytime anyone looked down on BAs.
Rather, it is the black Americans always trying to put down and condescend to hard working Africans. There are lots of BA who are speaking up against the boycott so I don't see any difference it would make to be honest. We are only here to make money, take care of our families and live peacefully.

Many of those I went to school together with in the US look on African Americans with great disdain. In Canada, it was us looking down on East Africans shouting they came as refugees.

Generally, African migrants usually look down on African Americans and talk about them in disdain. There's no need for us to pretend about it. What we should learn is to respect and accept every individual with their differences.

@Nnamdipapa, you don't see this topic?

Karlovych:
Well Tanisha and Shameeka are notorious for stealing weaves, why would and African-owned salon employ them?

If Tequan and Trayvon are employed at a barbershop they will most likely bring their gang violence into the place of work, so which employer will want to take such risks? They are better off looting stores like they used to do across many cities, spits.

Our major issue, stereotyping them as usual. How many Tanisha, Shameeka, Tequan, Trayvon have you met?

Your response is similar to them saying do not hire Ayo, Seyi, Emeka, and Chidi as CNA as they will use your home address for their fraudulent businesses. Is it every Nigerian in America that is into yahoo? Your answer is as good as mine.

Decided to make bread since there's no more bread at home. It is a combination of 62.5% all purpose flour and 37.5% of whole wheat bread flour.

Commentor:
Still not a monopoly.

I said monopolistic tendencies

Commentor:
That's not a monopoly.

Cement is an Oligopoly.

There would always be big players in every economy.

Samsung is 13% of the entire Korean economy.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

It isn't an oligopoly in this case. In an oligopoly, the leading firm if any in the industry can not own that percentage of the industry. In the case of the industries I mentioned, Dangote has HHI of 3600 in 2 and 6400 in 1. That should be a great concern to our ministry of justice but in our case, we care less.

Commentor:
Name one industry Dangote runs a monopoly.

Dangote controls 60% share of Nigeria's cement market; 80% share of Nigeria's sugar market; and 60% share of Nigeria's salt market. That's too much share to control in any industry.

kedeojo:
You people keep making noise over 25 Nigerians were given refinery licences since Obasanjo time but none could muster the courage to build one because they were making a lot of money through subsidy. Arthur Eze and co couldn't build a refinery but prefer to build hotel at Enugu airport. They cheated the country for so long but God has intervened.

Nonetheless, he shouldn't be allowed to kill competition because others did not build a refinery.

helinues:
It used to be around 50m+. It has reduced. With the commissioning of some farm equipments by president Tinubu just some weeks ago, there should be more improvement with our food security.

At least in Southern regions, herdsmen crisis have reduced drastically . The farmers don't have excuse

Where did you get your manufactured statistics of 50m+ from? You can choose not to lie and heavens will not fall.

surgical:
But is that a patriotic or beneficial act to the country?

It is none, it is for his selfish gains because we do not checkmate monopolistic tendencies in Nigeria.

You guys are not against him, he is the one after you. We all know his modus operandi. He will do everything to make you all bow in total submission or sell your filling stations to his preferred operator.

Israel5:
Okay. Thanks. Getting a housemaid is not necessary for me o. Where I wan get am sef? My wife will not want another girl in the house o. And she doesn't want any of her relatives to come to the house either. She has trust issues. So we're where we are. I'm learning the ropes of a man that wants peace. Lol

Can you please stop mentioning you want peace? You are as culpable as your wife. She doesn't and wouldn't need a maid since you both think you have one you have being grooming and paying for the last 3 years. You are being manipulative and trying to act innocent by putting all the blame on your wife and allowing the public tag her and see you as the good one. If you want peace, do what is right.

Seems this president just loves to be in the news.

Israel5:
Please (even though I know my appeal with fall on deaf ears too numerous to count in this forum), approach this issue with logic and without prejudice to the people involved.

My wife and I are duly blessed with a son who is in his basic 5 now. Also, we decided to get the daughter of one of my cousin to stay with us. She is one of 7 children. So I wanted to help raise a CHIMAMANDA.

As my rule, every child of same age under my room attends the same school and calls us Dad & Mum. The school part didn't quite seat well with my wife, who had a different opinion, but I prevailed anyway. Because na me dey pay school fees.

The girl is a year older than my son, but due to the level of education at the village before she came over, we made her be in the same class as my son. She met my son in primary 2. Now they are both in basic 5.

A shocker happened: This girl keeps coming up in the class, while my son keeps running away from the top. We've tried extra lessons, even tried changing schools. Now it looks as if the girl is better suited for school than my boy. She reads, spells and memorizes things too marvellous. I bought a dictionary cos of that.

I even buy gifts for her (for coming top) more than I do for my boy, to make him sit up, but my pikin nor send me o. Guy use cry & Woman power make me buy am bicycle. 😁

I would think he's being a spoilt boy, who believes daddy & mommy is there, I don't really know. But I am hopeful.

Now, my major issue is my heavily pregnant wife. She wants the girl to be changed/enrolled at a different school. In her defence, she wants her to be available to help her take care of things. The kid's school close by 3pm. She suggest government school that close earlier. I see sense in what she said but I feel like I'll be unfair to this young girl.

When I tried to have a healthy debate on the idea. Na so madam start to dey talk plenty tins wey I nor fit type.
I have accepted to do her wish from September for peace.

Please, do you see another way I could avoid problems?

Is she right to have asked that I changed the girl's school just because she needs help around the house & her business?

Please return her back to her parents. If you intend they do basic 6, ensure she sits for National Common Enterance and pick a Federal Government and Federal Government College in her parent's home stay. Do not change her school
Do not destroy her morale and that of your son. Your son might think it is right to look down on the lower class since that is the cue he will likely pick. Your wife is just a typical Nigerian because Nigeria endorses child abuse as she wouldn't dare say that if she lives abroad.

When will he be executed? Most times they are never executed.

She lives with us, fed by us, cream, soap and everything. Beside she told us she wanted 20k payment, we willingly offered 30k. Then increased to 40k the following month. There is still gonna be gradual increase with time

Sounds great!

Eniolohunda:
And USA is not in the list. Why? No be thesame route many of us take enter the state.

I guess many are not learned about the US to know there's a pathway to citizenship through work visa. I feel the US route is a little more direct than most listed up there.

Perhaps, your appearance threatens him. Watch the way you speak to him, that might help.

Don't you think the nanny/house help deserves more?

It is very disheartening particularly for Buhari who banned public officers from accessing healthcare abroad (even though it was never applied in reality) to die abroad. He was a perfect definition of hypocrisy.

Welcome to Nigeria and the Dangote business model.

He's always leveraged on his monopolistic tendencies and the government have always backed him up. Sooner, petroleum prices in Nigeria will be higher than in the neighboring countries because he will apply his artificial first degree price discrimination to suck up all the consumer surplus he can get.
