Career › Re: Dying On The Job by grandstar(m): 3:16pm On May 08
I once worked part time for a private security company. I was the admin managers.

If you know the job well, one can make more than 10k per day. You do not need to depend on a paltry salary.

Bribe to be taken to a hot location like fast food joint or hotel. Tips go plenty.

I subscribed data to my airtel Sim, 7 gig weekly subscription. I can tell you I didn't use upto 1 gig till the subscription expired. I removed the Sim, broke it and thats the end of my romance with airtel. Etisalat now.
I have used both MTN and Airtel, and the latter beats it by miles.

I just pity the helpless Iranian militants and terrorists forced to mann those death boats cry angry
As long as the Straits remains closed, Trump is at the losing end.

Attacking those gunboats may not be wise. It could restart the war.

Many of you do not seem to understand how this war is being fought.

What are you celebrating? That price of oil is over $100/barrel?

I dont even think Iran needs these gunboats. Drones or missiles could do the job.

I am no fan of both sides. Both stink.

zegxy:
This your assumption that he created a mess and wants EU to clean it up.is.most ridiculous
If you do your research well, you will know that the US don't use the strait of Homuz. Europe and Asia are the ones using it most. So if Trump tells Europe that they should help protect the route they used for their energy supply, is there anything wrong in that bearing in mind that NATO benefits tremendously from the US ?
When Trump started the ill fated war with Iran, did he seek NATO's advice, no. But now that Iran has humiliated him and made him a laughing stock, he is asking NATO to play a role in opening the Strait of Homuz.

Do not deny the truth: Trumps invasion of Iran led to the closire of the Strait of Homuz. Even his generals had warned him of that.

Who asked Trump to create a problem for Europe and Asia? Then he hands the problem over to them.

So, the US does not use the Strait of Homuz. Unfortunately for it, it is heavily affected by what goes on there. Since the Strait accounts for 20% of gl9bal crude oil supply, it has ledto disruption in supply which led to a steep increase in its price, now over $100.

This has shot up the price of gasoline in the US, and a majority blame Trump for it. Even Trump is affected, as high cost fuel would adversely affect the Republicans in the coming Midterm elections this year.

Because NATO has "benefited tremendiously" from the US does not entitle Trump to dump such a mess on their heads. It is very condescending. Thats not how international relation or politics work. That is simply Trumps way of shifting blame and responsibility to NATO. Trump is just taking the piss.

The US too benefits from NATO. It is the worlds largest economy and also the number one superpower. It needa NATO and bases all over the world to secure its interests. It also has alliances for its economiv interests. Europe is the US largest trade partner.

When the Philllipines wanted two mighty US bases closed decades, the US pleaded with them but they
refused. The US has pleaded for years to build a base in Nigeria and the governments have repeatedly turned them down.

It is like a wife who picked her husband from the gutter, made him successful. They have 4 kids. Does that entitle the wife to have affairs "afterall all he has benefited tremendiously from her?

Does it entitle the wife to bring home her affair baby after all she has done for him?

The Bible has a quote, "The shrewd one has seen the calamity and proceeds to conceal himself but the naive and inexperienced pass along and suffers the conseuences." (Proverbs 27:12)

Baxilexi:
Hypocrites want the whole world to come to the side of a tyrannical IRGC but want NATO allies to deny the US assistance during the war.

They should be relocated to the UAE.

US haters love societies where despots abuse human rights. Just look at South Africa, Nigeria, Afghanistan, no value for human life.

The NATO chief has told Europe countless times over, you’re nothing without the US, but somehow they want to test his resolve.

Can the UK create an army in its current state. Mass mutiny would be the answer.

I support this move. Valuable equipment too.
This is the problem with you Trump supporters.

The US military high ups had warned Trump against starting this war. That alone was reason enough to go ahead.

He did not seek NATO's advice before embarking on this war. Now, he wants them to clean up the mess he created.

If Israel had warned him not to start this war, i am certain he would have listened.

He went there to fight another mans war. Thats the real tragedy here.

So, if he access Tinubu's government you expect him to come and tell you his observations abi?

Stop thinking too high of yourself
He has even commented more than once.

But bigots are so certain he will never comment because he is Yoruba. Even he cuts off Tinubu head, they will still say he hasnt said a word.

He has said he owes you lot nothing. Google will save you from your ignorance and bigotry.

If you did a little Google search like, "has Soyinka commented on Tinubu government?" the results are there.

Even if he came out with a placard shouting "Tinubu must go" you will still say he hasnt made a comment.

Why? Because he is Yoruba.

This is persistent amongst bigots.

Our ‘gbajue’ crooner is yet to access the Tinubu govt after almost three years, despite promising to do so after one year
He did make comments. He agreed with what Okonji Iweala and Charles Soludo said about the economy stabilizing. I hope that made you happy that he said so?

You just want to tribalize the issue. What if he had nothing to say? The only reason in the world why you want him to say something is for him to say something critical of the president who is Yoruba like himself.

On a more serious note, check below

Pets › Re: I Can’t Relax Since I Got This Chameleon… Meet Nova by grandstar(m): 7:55pm On May 01
mgamelia:
I’ll be honest—I knew this wasn’t the safest decision. But when I saw Nova, I couldn’t walk away. She’s tiny. Like, really tiny. About an inch long, and somehow already running my entire routine.

The first few days? Pure stress. I kept checking on her every hour. Is she eating? Is the humidity right? Is she even okay? If you’ve ever owned a micro chameleon, you know exactly what I mean.

What surprised me most is how sensitive they are. A small mistake—like slightly low humidity or missing a feeding—can become a serious issue fast. I’ve tested this myself, and honestly, this is where things got real. I had to slow down, adjust everything, and start paying attention to details I used to ignore.

Why Nova Keeps Me on Edge

These tiny chameleons don’t give you obvious signs. No loud warnings. No dramatic behavior. Just subtle changes. One day she’s active, the next she’s still—and that’s enough to make your heart drop.

For example, I noticed she skipped a meal. Normally, that might not seem like a big deal. But with Nova, it is. That’s when I started tracking everything—feeding, misting, even her movements.

Still, it’s not all stress. There’s something incredibly rewarding about caring for such a delicate creature. When she moves, slowly and carefully, it feels like you’re watching something rare.

Would I recommend it? Honestly—only if you’re ready. This isn’t a casual pet. Nova taught me that fast.
Though i dont feel this is worth devoting a lot of time and energy too, i will still give some advice.

Why not start a Tiktok account for her, or your journey with her? Unique twists like these go viral easily on Tikotk. You should also add FaceBook and Instagram.

You should earn from FaceBook but Tiktok and Instagram does not pay Nigerians. You could instead charge for shoutouts and adverts from people willing to advertise with you.

Create a unique logo which will brand your accounts.

You could also ask on Google on how to make money on those social media platforms as a creator

With crude pouring into the market ad libitum, the choke hold of the opec cartel on production quota is over.

Venezuela: US controlled
UAE : unhinged
Russia: Sanctions lifted

Oil will flow freely and the price will definitely crash to below $40pb

This will be a mix blessing for Nigeria though.

Government revenue will plummet and budget deficit will escalate beyond current levels. Govt. Will resort to more borrowings to fund recurrent and capital expenditures. The external reserve will dwindle and the naira will see shege pro max in "losing weight"

On the flip side, the cost of petroleum products will be cheaper than current rates .

The wise Investors are already taking position with this news in dollar instruments.
Your prognosis sounds reasonable. It is better than many of the unreasonable posts here.

The priceof crude oil is dictated internationally and no locally.

The US cant even dictate the price, though it is the worlds largest producer.

Cost US crude oil has shot up in price and 75% of US consumers are blaming Trump for the price hike due to his war with Iran.

Treadway:
bros, I don't know if you're whining me, or this was a mistake.

WE HAVE BEEN IN A TIGHT MONETARY ENVIRONMENT FOR YEARS NOW UP UNTIL VERY RECENTLY.

All the measures that the govt took up until recently were contractionary. From increasing the MPR, to the various OMO eg T-Bills that were used to mop-up liquidity. I really don't know what you are saying oo
Thanks so much for your response.

To me, monetary policy has not been tight enough. For instance, what did Russian central do when nations pummeled it with sanctions in 2022? It increased interest rates by a whooping 10% overnight. This helpes to stabil8ze the Ruble.

Monetary policy has not been tight enough. Had it been, inflation would have dropped below 10% by now.

Why hasnt monetary been tight enough? Tight monetary policy has not been tight enough because higher rates can tilt the economy into a recession. When i championed higher interest rates here, many busineessmen here were totally against it.

Tinubu has always expressed his dissatisfaction with tight monetary policy due to this reason.
