Dress the way you want to be addressed. She has been exposing her body before nau. Some of her pictures surfaced online even before the incident. The girl lacks home training by attacking the staff first. The speed she landed in kirikiri be like light speed . How come switch off phone becomes seasoning film. Patience is good for all.

The air hostess did not handle the matter professionally. The fault is from the airline.

immortalcrown:
I don't like the fact that her body was exposed. But she is an accomplice in her own downfall.

To the father, na you no fit buy your child bra abi na she no gree wear am?

Her top was deliberately ripped by the malicious air hostess.

It was inexcusable. It was posted online to humiliate her.

The air hostess did not handle Comforts case professionally. That was the problem.

Werey be albino, him go marry another albino.

Some people no dey pity their pikin

India is a very prejudiced place. They might have been branded for being albinos and could therefore only find a fellow albino to marry.

In India everyone has a place, and everyone tries to stay within that place. That is why most Indian marriages are arranged- to keep the system in place.

In India, you can't just see a girl you like and just marry her. She must be in the same caste as you.

Dangote wants to fight the competition to a standstill.

He is monopolistic by nature and Tinuhu's refusal to ban the import of refined fuels has made his refinery face ferocious competitors who ignited a price war he is now determined to crush by crashing logistic supply costs that will go a l9ng way in reducing petrol prices.

You are definitely not Seyi Tinubu. It’s not my fault that your father didn’t become president because if your father is the GCON of Nigeria you won’t be doing this. [

Why do you people doubt there are repentant terrorists? Many joined out of naivety or were coerced. Many have realized that their terrorist organizations have nothing to offer and have chosen to left.

One thing many of you people fail to realize is that if you decide to show no mercy even to those ready to surrender, these guys will fight to their deaths rather than be caught, knowing the fate that awaits them if that happens.

What is lacking is that more needs to be done to take care of these repentant one. Giving them N100,000 to start life afresh is nothing. Frustration may eventually push many back.

BlocksNG:
this guy is better, performing than our pampers wearing president, only the hediots will not like him.

How do you know he is wearing diapers? You too one day will grow old.

Is Nigerian GDP really less than $200bn?

Nigeria over a period of 8 months imports goods and services worth $40bn. Over 12 months, that would amount to $60bn. How can the country'a GDP be $180bn with imports of $60bn.

Even if we choose to use a ratio of 1:5 export to GDP ratio, we would have $300bn, and that 1:5 is a conservative figure.

It is the devaluation of the Naira that has brought about the slash in GDP size. Let's say the Nigerian economy had a GDP valued in Naira at 250 trillion Naira and the exchange rate was $1-N500, that would give us $500bn. Devalue the Naira to 1,500 and the figure drops to $166bn. You can now see the problem.

This is what is causing the distortion.

He was very fortunate. He should thank God for his being alive.

It might be indicative of what to expect but it is still too early.

It does show that the APC or Tinubu has a lot of support in the North, especially among Northern Muslims.

It also indicativer that ADC is all shadows and no substance, and that Peter Obi's romance with them and Elrufai may be his nemesis.

The US has lost a lot of respect under Trump. Australia's endorsing a Palestinian State is really a middle finger to Trump.

What will Trump do about it? Let us guess- threaten them with tariffs? He has done his worst already.

forgiveness:
Container economy again. All you know is importation. Well, it's your personal opinion. The project will go on by the grace of God.

Continue to speak grammar. Absolutely nothing wrong with importation. Importation is a life blood of all economies. Where the country sucks at is exportation- non oil exports.

All you know are protectionist policies that have failed woefully to industrialize the country. Why the persistent focus on a policy that does not work?

Who told you manufacturing can't thrive in the face of importation? That's also a myth.

I have informed you the formula that would work. The garments are for exports. The garments would be too expensive if they depend on Nigerian made fabrics as their prices aren't competitive.

The garments needs to be competitively priced for them to be exported. The textile and garment industry is fiercely competitive.

forgiveness:
This is a private investment not Ogun state driven project. Read.

It does not change things. It isn't going to work.

Its supply chain is useless if it is based locally sourced cotton which is insufficient in quantity, and worse, of poor quality.

Nigerian made fabrics are also not competititve in the global market. If they decide to be dependent on Nigerian made fabrics, their garments made from it won't be competitive.

seunowa:
Oga, you need to equip yourself with vital knowledge of the initiative before spewing limited understanding.
Ogun state garment factory initiative is a public -private partnership between ogun state government and Arise India industrial platform.

It is not going to work if they are going to be dependent on Nigerian sourced cotton and locally manufcatured fabrics.

The only workable formula is to set up in an Export Processing Zone and it imports fabrics and transforms them into garments. With that, it would do brilliantly. If they don't set up

If in the future, if it would pay it to source fabrics locally, it will.

CodeTemplarr:
must it be export oriented from day one? How about import substitution or reduction in the medium term?

Your analysis is best described as Ogodomigodo.

Economic illiteracy is what is doing you.

Import substitution policies aren't working. Jeezuz! Protectionism did not prevent the textile and garment industries from being wiped out!

Are you living under a rock?

CodeTemplarr:
^^^ textile is the input to garment making. While i consider the figure outrageous and unrealistic, it is better to have the factory for local production sake.

Funny how your solution in your last paragraph is about zero import duties on fabrics and not what we posses competitive advantage in.

Textilecand garments are usually where most developing countries start from. It is labour intensive, and low labour cost is a huge consideration. That's why your shirts are made in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and so on. Production is largely export oriented. Only a small quantity is for the domestic market.

It is also fiercely competitive.The Nigerian textile industry collapsed in the face of competition. That means their fabrics are not competitive. They do not even export, as the international market should be main focus.

Garment manufacturers dependent on locally sourced fabrics, which are dependent on poor quality locally produced cotton stand zero chance in the global market where at least 99% of production will be destined for

DeLaRue:
I don't think.

This is a private investment. I think by Indians. They will have done their home office.

No white elephant here, though I think some of of job numbers are probably exaggerated.

It's going to fail. The maths does not add up. The textile and garment industry is ultra competitive and export oriented, and their modus operandi dead on arrival.

Quintessence44:
A $2.5 billion garment factory is what your brokazz is waking up this morning to dismiss as a ''white elephant project''??

What feasibility studies did you conduct compared to the people who spent millions of dollars evaluating the entire proposition?

Do you know how much they spent on Ajaokuta steel and many other white elephant projects?

If you plan a seaport in Abuja, you don't need a rocket scientist to know its going to fail.

Quintessence44:
Ogun state is currently building the world's largest garment factory, and it will position Nigeria as a textile powerhouse on a global scale, producing over 4.4 MILLION garments a day.

The factory is so massive it will employ directly and indirectly over 150,000 Nigerians.

Incredible video on the project:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfA-oA9bZWE

This is a white elephant project.

Nigeria has zero competitive advantage in the production of cotton or textile fabrics. The cotton produced here is of poor quality, and it's even in insufficient quantities.

There is rumoured to be only 3 functioning textile factories in the whole of the country. The rest have shutdown. That's how bad the country is in producing fabrics.

The way to go would be to slash import duty on textile fabrics to 0%. The garment factory can now turn the imported fabrics into garments which would then be exported.

kfasian:
There are lots and lots of young Nigerians having his kind of opportunity today... But misuse the opportunity. That write up asked a question. It said could you imagine what would have happened if Dangote used the money given to him by the uncle to Japa..? Of course he will still be a rich men... But I doubt if he would have been the RICHEST BLACK MAN ON EARTH today.

N500,000 his uncle lent him back then then would be like $2M in today's currency. To japa would have made absolutely no sense. 98% of Americans did not have what he had.

aribisala0:
You
You assumptions are naive
The world does not work like that
It is more than just an app
A lot more deeper security concern

Why is Trump trying to buy Tiktok by force
Why is Telegram owner. DUROV persecuted

The assumption of free market and equal opportunities is really amusing

The jokes on you.

Protectionism has failed to industrialize the country. You don't have to ban a product in order to manufacture or produce it.

Chinese manufacturing growth was export driven like dozens in the recent decades.

I come from an era where it was a big do to have an international penpal. The internet was therefore a transformation.

The internet by its very nature is a global platform. Why now localize? I had my first email address in 1996, and I have been browsing since 1997. I was a trailblazer. Nigerians only started browing in 1999, and it was only in 2001 I would say it became common place. I used to charge N350 to open free Yahoo email addresses for people in 1999/2000 which is about 6,000 in today's money. My love for it is that it is a globalized platform.

Find an unexploited niche in the social media space and grow with it. That's what Telegram you mentioned did. I did not even know it was Russian until about 2 years ago. I don't like the app though I have downloaded it, but there are those who love it.

Trump isn't trying to buy Tiktok. Tiktok's problem is that it is a Chinese owned app and China and the US are adversaries. China has banned most US social media apps because China is a dictatorship and wants to have full control of how information flows within its borders. It spends $140bn a year on seivellance year. The US Senate, and not Trump, felt that the Chinese could use Tiktok to snoop on American users of the app, or use it to distribute info. For instance, it is rare on Tiktok to come across a video that criticizes China.

What type of wedding invitation card be this, like something wey obioma design?

goody234:
Read my lips ...No new taxes !!! guess who said that any ideas lol

George Bush Snr when he was campaigning for office in 1988. He increased them after he won elections, and failed his re-election bid probably because of it.

Meanwhile, guess who promised to bring inflation down from day one?

43k can feed a family of 4 for a week.

The truth is what was presented isn't worth 43k. This is at best 10k. The eba won't fill you, and the veg may not even be enough.

Your no.4 is the only reason I find really tenable.

Every pastor wants to start his own church, wants to own his own church.

That is the only reason. There are just too many churches and they are all constituting nuisance.

99thEnemy:
Everyone will adjust, whether voluntarily or not, just like some of us already on Band A have.

Total subsidy removal means everyone, not just Band A, will pay between ₦209 and ₦225 per kilowatt hour.

People will rush and even lobby to get the so-called prepaid meters they have long despised once estimated billings where they live become Band A rates.

Subsidy free power at the end of the day is much cheaper than the subsidised version.

I live in Akute and I can tell you that whatever benefits you enjoy from subsidised tariffs is more than stolen by generator use and the inability to plan.

Nigerians on Band A are already adjusting to the rates and paying their bills. The horror stories that being painted by economic illiterates arw all exaggerated, no different from that regarding ending petroleum subsidies

RhinoChest:
What the government should do is upgrade Band A customers to a new category called Band A+. Customers in Band A+ would be guaranteed 24 hours of uninterrupted power supply and would pay an additional fixed charge—for example, ₦10 per 24-hour cycle—on top of their normal tariff. This fixed charge would only apply if the distribution company actually delivers 24 hours of uninterrupted supply. If they fail to do so, the charge should not apply and should instead roll over.

Furthermore, if Band A+ customers experience an outage longer than one hour (excluding faults from the National Grid or TCN), the government should impose penalties on the distribution company—for example, fines of ₦10 million for every hour of outage.

Band B customers should be upgraded to Band A, while only Bands C and D should continue to enjoy subsidy temporarily. This will cut the amount of subsidy significantly and cushion the effect of all these economic reforms on the very poor.

Your educated answer is a breath of fresh air to the tons of illiterate replies on this thread.

APCNig:
There is no ADC in South Kaduna. Tinubu made there son the Chief of Defence Staff and gave them a federal university and nursing school, if they vote against APC, then they need mental evaluation

That Tinubu man is a wily fox. I laugh at people who underrate him.

This election may be a reflection of what is to come in 2027.

The opposition needs to double down but they are divided.

Appletek:
This is dedicated to those who were saying this project is a phantom project.

I'm referring to the people who said all bad roads needed to be fixed before commencement of this project. But they didn't see bad roads in their region before they were crying for 2nd Niger bridge.

I don't feel the bridge is necessary. There are far more important issues.

I just see it as Tinubus showpiece or flagship project to showcase him. If he can complete it on time,Nigerians will be in awe of him.

Please note that I am politically neutral but I feel that Tinubu is better than Atiku or Obi any day.

So, my criticism was not emotional but constructive.

That's why we Jehovah's Witnesses bring to you the good news of God's kingdom, the kingdom where no resident will say, "I am sick." (Isaiah 33:24-25)

Look at what Isaiah 35:5 says:

At that time the eyes of the blind will be opened,
And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.

That is why Jesus Christ told us to pray for God's kingdom to come (Read Matthew 24:14, 2 Peter 3:13). That is the only solution to mankinds problems (Read Revelation 21:3-5)

To get the full details, please read this very informative article now: When Sickness Is No More! https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/g200701/When-Sickness-Is-No-More/

It serves him right! "There is no peace" my God has said,"for the wicked."

Reference:
Also don't discount the power of unionism as an agent of job creation corrosion.

Unions are a problem. I have never been fond of them.

They have been the nemesis of many countries, both rich and poor.

In France, the French government was determined to tinker the over generous pension policy which was massively draining funds.

The unions went on strikes for weeks, and because workers suffer no loss of wages when they go off work, the strike went on forever until the government was forced to back down.

You can only sack a worker only if the industrial court endorses it which is never. This discourages companies from hiring. Most times, companies prefer hiring contract or temp workers so as not to be burdened with unsackable employees.

Julia25:
Where's Nigeria my country?

Seun, add the remaining characters.
Edit: Don’t bother reminding me Nigeria isn’t in Europe—basic reasoning should tell you it’s a subtle jab at our "minimum wage."

Whether a jab or not, a minimum rate must make economic sense.

If it is too high, it discourages job creation. Many countries with high minimum rates which are not market determined tend to suffer from high unemployments such as Spain and South Africa.

Countries such as the US and the UK that tend to have market determined tend to have low unemployment rates.

If the government enforces the minimum wage, millions may lose their jobs because employers won't be able to afford it.
