Family › Re: Why You Should NEVER Adopt Kids by grandstar(m): 8:52pm On Feb 12
It isn't a one size fits all.

I have two aunties who adopted children. One is grown up girl who has probably finished university

The second aunty is a bit of the no-nonsense with some attitude. Nevertheless, thongs turned out alright.

The boy insulting her isn't the problem but why?

Did she overpamper the boy? Did she make everyone know he was adopted? Did she remind him all the time he was adopted and should be grateful? Ðid relatives treat him with disrespect?

They paid. Agreed to indebtedness. They're accomplices.
Did they know they were being trafficked to become prostitutes?

Most often, they are told they would become domestic servants.

Politics › Re: Breaking: Dangote Refinery’s Crude Distillation Unit And Motor Spirit Block Hit by grandstar(m): 6:47am On Feb 12
insidelife22:
Dangote can build and operate a refinery

While the Federal government can't

Reasons : corruption

Heartlessness
Selfishness
Data boys
Tribalism
Religious fanaticism.
And once again recycling of leaders whose ideas and brains are outdated and dead.

Especially this one we go dey fall like our power grid.
Why should the state build a refinery? Business should be the hands of the private sector.

Globally, gpvernment owned companies don't do well. It is not just a Nigerian thing. Most are overstaffed and loss makers.

The numbers awaiting trials are simply excessive and inexcusable, and their feeding allowance lamentable.
Business › Re: CBN Approves $150,000 Weekly FX Access For BDCs To Stabilise Market by grandstar(m): 4:45pm On Feb 11
anonimi:
Are you sure that is the objective?

I thought that Tinubu was trying to finally use the $3.3 billion Afreximbank SPV loan for his N300/$1 short term goal before reaching N200/$1 by May 2027 as promised.

The SPV loan was secured with future oil revenue and facilitated by Elumelu’s UBA at an outrageous rate of 11.85%
The Naira can never strengthen to $1 to N300. I am 99.99% certain that Tinubu does not believe that is possible.

Yes, the SPV loan was high but I suspect it was used to pay off money owed to companies that paid for dollars from the CBN but had not received it.

Emefiele left the CBN with debts to companies $7bn.
Politics › Re: Fuel Price To Drop Nationwide As Imported Petrol Price Undercuts Dangote Refiner by grandstar(m): 9:42pm On Feb 10
Though I don't support monopolistic behavior, I also don't support competitors who cut corners to have it better over their rivals.

These rivals are most likely buying dirt cheap Russian refined products and dumping it on the market. The quality is also suspect.

Adakintroy:
culture is a relative concept.


Those in Arab nations sleep with underage regularly and everyone ends up fine

Most fifteen yrs are already ready for sex and procreation. That's from nature. The whole rationalize process of waiting till 18 is over defined. A man can loose his whole life by sleeping with a girl that is a yr short of 18. We are not very intelligent in interpreting laws. It's too primitive hence stiff.
In the US, one can go to prison for sleeping with a girl 1 day shy of her 18th birthday. They are ruthless. It's just senseless.

In the UK, anyone charged for sleeping with an underaged female deserves to charged. Legal age in the UK is 16 and 15 in France.

meobizy:
Straight men also die in the same manner. It is called a honey trap. Women have also fallen victim. It is not a Nigerian or African matter, it is a worldwide issue. So far someone has a sex drive, it can be used to their detriment.

R.I.P. to him. I don’t care how he died or his sexual orientation.
It is called "kito" among Nigerian homosexuals.

The ratio is much higher against gay men because they can't go to the police for help. Many of the perpetrators walk about freely.

The answer is very simple: she should start are own podcast

With the Internet at your fingertips, the sky is the limits.

She could start on Youtube, Twitch, Tiktok, X and others.

She's made a name for herself already. She would easily get a massive following on her first week online
Politics › Re: Ever Wondered Why The Black Slaves Bought By Arabs Didn't Reproduce? by grandstar(m): 11:07am On Feb 10
The last country to officially end slavery in Africa was Mauritania.

However, it still continues.

Freed slaves and their descendants still have some obligation to their old master.

I came across a picture of a black woman sitting on a settee with her daughter who was bi-racial. The daughter was a result of "r@pe." by her previous master.

She couldn't turn him down.

What knows, the paedophile might even target his own daughter.

I forgot to add that slavery has resumed in Linya. The anarchy in the country has made this possible.

You're saying rubbish.

Islam endorses polygamy.

The sooner she accepts her lot in life, the sooner, the better.

She coufld protest in other ways such as leaving her matrimonial home, or outright divorce.

Some women will never accept another woman no matter the religion.

You're sounding like Buhari.

Buhari on assumption of office cancelled the earlier contract given to Tompolo.

Soon, crude oil production collapsed.

Oil production has increased now that it has been returned to Tompolo. He knows the terrain, he understands the militants and so on.

I'm certain his attackers aren't white Germans.

Probably disgruntled immigrants from conservative backgrounds piffed at seeing such.

But again I could be wrong. You do have far right white Germans, and such leftist behavior leaves them seething.

Education › Re: Should I Travel To UK For Msc Or Start A Business In Nigeria? by grandstar(m): 2:50pm On Feb 09
Naya261:
I am planning of travelling to the UK for my Msc programme. My main purpose of travelling is as a means of jakpa not that I really need the Msc. I sold the land i bought in Asaba in 2018 for N22m. I plan to use the money for the tuition fee deposit ( £5,000) and other travel expenses. The complete tuition fee is £15,330. I will study and work in other to pay the remaining balance.

My plan is to remain in the UK and work after my study. Please I need your advice.
Investing that sum into a business here will yield a far better return than if you leave.

The issue now is whether you're familiar with business? If not, that money will disappear in the twinkle of an eye. You could invest in businesses that are hard to fail such as a business centre in a high traffic location but you must watch your staff.

If you want to japa, then Japa. Dont use the student route. It backfires a lot. How will you raise the balance of your fees. This is a common nightmare amongst student. That 20 hour work week won't provide enough cash to cover tuition.

Rather, It is best you find out countries that need migrant labor and focus your mind on how to get those jobs.

A younger brother is now in Germany. An NGO in Germany brought him over. He found it hard, bit he is adapting. I'm certain he has the right to stay.

Find skills that are hot demand and focus on them. Learn trades such as hairdressing for example.

I was in the UK some years back for holiday.
Politics › Re: Enugu State Records ₦406.7 Billion IGR In 2025, Targets ₦870Billion In 2026 by grandstar(m): 9:09am On Feb 09
Just like Tinubu poached Umahi from Ebonyi state, he would also poach this governor.

The truth is that as a sitting governor, hoping to be re-elected in 2027, he can't be poached.

As Deng Xioping said,"It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.

Meaning: Grab and apply whatever works, where it comes from is secondary.

Other states should go and understudy how the IGR mega increase was achieved and repeat, especially the Northern states.

They have often been called parasites. If their IGR becomes much larger than the monthly allocations they get from the center, it would be a game-changer for them.

He is a wicked and irresponsible man..

I wonder how many minors he has taken advantage of. I'm certain he takes advantage of his housemaids.

I remember some years back meeting the 15 year old daughter of a friend of mine. This girl fine die. You'd think she was 19.

I greeted her and immediately comot eye. It is just wrong, very wrong.(Read James 1 15)

I won't also be able to live with the backlash if it is discovered.

I am the type that would go report myself to the elders.

At the end, it isn't worth it(Read Proverbs 27:12)

Obi didn’t say copy Argentina’s inflation.

If the peso collapsing is your only evidence, then you’ve accidentally proven why his advice was sound because your Tinubu's economy is mimicking Argentina, not fixing it.
Hasn't Okonji-Iweala and Charles Soludo not praised the Nigerian economic reforms?

Didn't she the economy is stabilising?

I am not interested in Argentina.

You hit the nail on the head. It's all about the audience.

In lawn tennis where the audience for both genders is almost the same, the gap is almost non-existent
Sports › Re: The Difference Between The Highest-Paid Male And Female Players. by grandstar(m): 11:17pm On Feb 07
It's all down to demand and supply.

It's not down to sexism or misogyny.

In the world of lawn tennis the gap between the genders is quite low because demand for both is quite high.
