PoliticsRe: FG Orders NERC To Revoke Licenses Of Non-Performing DISCOS by iamclime(m): 6:13am On Mar 12, 2024
The issues in the power sector are hydra-headed. For one, I agree that the DISCOS are too large, and they mostly ineffective. There are also leakages and vandalism along the transmission routes. The TRACOS have little or no control over these events in most cases. At the generation stage, the GENCOS keep complaining of shortage of gas supply to maintain the current level of generation or increase capacity.
There is a need for total overhauling of the system. There is need to also educate energy consumers to pay the appropriate tariff for energy consumed. But this work if consumers see improvements in the power supply.

IRS! Man, memories. Used to fly IRS from LOS to ABV. Also did LOS to Maiduguri once The best in-flight service I ever had in those days! Best food, nice cabin crew (males and females). I think it's owned by one northern person.

Thread kinda reminds me of a verse in Shina Peter's song:
"Mo de Muritala Airport, Nigerian Airways, nitori èrò pọ nibe, won ni won o ni gbe mi,
Concord Airlines omo Abiola: nitori ero po nibe won ni won o ni gbe mi,
ADC: nitori èrò po nibe won ni won o ni gbe mi,
Kabo Airlines: nitori èrò po nibe won ni won o ni gbe mi,
Okada nkọ o: nitori èrò po níbẹ wọn ni won o ni gbe mi,
Yee, mo bá padà sílé....."

Ọmọ, we don de old o!

I remember flying First Nation (ABV-LOS) in 2012. Plane was like a flying molue. Later learnt it was an attempt to resurrect Bellview by you know who?

I hope Ibom Air and Air Peace stand the rest of time!

If you work remotely or mostly online like some of us, please get an affordable solar power system for your basic needs. You can use grid power whenever it's available.I do not see any improvements in the energy sector anytime soon.

I almost went nuts last year with the amount I was spending on fuel every month. I took a bold step to raise funds (even borrowed) to get a small solar power system. I haven't touched my generator since September last year!

Do it now! Inflation is tearing everything apart. The system I got for less than ₦240k now goes for about ₦300k.
TravelRe: The Underrated Cotonou (benin Republic) by iamclime(m): 10:54pm On Jan 24, 2024
pland:
I agree with virtually all the things you said about Benin Republic. I've been leaving and working here in Benin Republic for close to ten years now, and can say without mincing words that indeed Benin Republic, though a small country in terms of human population, is way ahead of my country, Nigeria, in the areas of constant and steady electricity supply, good roads, relative peace and security, law and order. And because the economic activities of Benin Republic is to a large extent dependant on the goods that comes from Nigeria, certain things are relatively expensive, e.g. transport fares, electronics, etc. To make matter even worse is the Naira depreciation against Fcfa for close to two years now. At the moment, the West African French currency, the Fcfa, has higher value than the Naira.

I believe with good leadership, Nigeria can indeed be a positive bellwether for the rest of African countries.

As an academic, one area that has seen much improvement over the years in Benin Republic is the higher institutions, especially, the University sector. When I first got into this country about ten years ago, I realized that the University sector, particularly, those being managed by Nigerians and a few Beninese who understands or speaks english language, was in need of some sort of professional and ethical facelift.
Hitherto, a couple of universities were unprofessional and unscrupulous in their academic activities; by the way, it's also synonymous to universities and other institutions of learning in Nigeria. But some of us stood up and fought against such abuse. And today, even though much still need to be done, a whole lot of sanity has been achieved due to government's intervention. To back this testimony, as a professional and principled person that I'm, I make bold to say that some of my students who graduated with degree certificates from Republic of Benin are working in CBN, DSS, NA, etc.; some have gone ahead to further their studies in Masters degree programs in some European countries with the B.Sc. degree certificates obtained from some credible universities in Benin Republic.

Although it is always tough to convince people that something good can come out of this so called smaller countries, I'm glad that some people seized the opportunity and dare to explore, today they are happy they did.

Take note; these so called "small countries" has made many Nigerians wealthy today. And it has also enabled lots of young "serious" Nigerians to achieve their educational dreams without experiencing any form of academic strike, cultism, insecurity or delay of admission due to JAMB frustration.

The much talk about "mushroom universities" in Benin Republic by some people in the past, is nothing worst than what is also tenable in Nigeria or in any other country. Alas, no country is immuned from having case(s) of unscrupulous institutions, the only thing is that the degree and hype may defer from one country to other.
So long as the degree program being pursue is accredited and the university is legitimate, irrespective of the country of study, small or big country, what matters most is for the individual in search of the degree certificate to be committed, serious and diligent with his or her studies. In the end, it's the stuff you're made of that will speak for you in the labour market, not the country.

Come to BENIN Republic for your University admission placement without JAMB. Mobilization for NYSC is guaranteed; very affordable fees, and instalments payment is allowed.
Graduation takes place just after 3 years of studies in Social Sciences, Arts and Management courses.
No academic disruption, and no strike all through study years.

You can apply for undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs.
Apply for direct entry for a shorter duration of program with ND, NCE, IJMB or JUPEB result.
HND conversion program is available.

I may contact you soon. I'm interested in the Benin academic system, as a matter of professional interest.

Thanks for this.

Must you take your passport for stamping? Is there any implications if it's stamped or not?
If you have the passport, you may want to go with it. Stamping it is also part of building a travel history.
I like to respect myself and avoid unnecessary hassles, so I travel with any documentation required.

Let me know when you plan to go and if you'll be interested in a group tour.

From Iyana-oba (first gate) to Badagry is 1k... From Badagry to Seme is #300, then you trek... No enter bike o, just walk across the border compound (Any extra amount comes from you getting to Iyana-oba)

If the immigration ask for passport, tell them you don't have... You can drop #200 for them in the Nigerian side and #500 at the Beninoise side... Although you'll see people crossing also without paying more than #100 at each point... Shikena
Badagry Roundabout to Seme Border is now between ₦600 and ₦800. Some even charge ₦1000. The least you can get is ₦500 if you shine your eye.
You'll also pay the Port Health Services guys at the border ₦500 if you don't have the Yellow fever vaccination card, popularly called Yellow card, apart from paying Immigration.
And once you cross to the Benin side, note that the naira has less value than the CFA. You exchange more naira for less CFA.
So, plan well o.

Phyde:
Is Sultan beach different from Coconut beach?
No, it isn't. Suntan Beach is also called Coconut Beach because of the well-arranged coconut trees planted there. It is operated by the government and is the most popular beach in Badagry. It is nestled in between Sakpo Beach to the left and Fanuvi Beach to the right, if you are coming from Lagos.

Other beaches in Badagry include Aivoiji Beach, also called Ganyingbo Beach (before Suntan), Gbẹrẹfu Beach (the popular Point of No Return/Slave Route), Ar-Rakhab Beach (at Sito-Gbethrome close to Seme Border). Ar-Rakhab is a private beach.
BusinessRe: I Have Issues Saving Money. Please Help by iamclime(m): 9:26am On Jan 04, 2024
FahBuLous:
I have this problem of saving money, if I want to save by myself, I end up using it.

I have tried using a saving box made of iron but once I need cash and I don't have it, I end up destroying it.

And I have this fear of saving with an online app because they might fold up and my money will be gone, I also have a fear of saving with someone, what if the person runs away with the funds like they did to my friend last year.

With all this fears in my heart, how can I successfully save money this year?

I need candid advice please..
Try converting any money you want to save into a foreign currency that is not easily used in Nigeria, say the CFA. You go just de look the money but you no go fit spend am.
Thank me later.

What of badagry beach? Who has been there of recent?.
It used to be my family's resort spot those over 30 years ago, and that was because we lived around that axis Beautiful scenery, lush coconut trees and coconut fruits, very neat., Enough waves, quiet and not noisy like other beaches farther in town. Though we used to go to bar beach then .

I left Lagos so many years ago and would really love to know what badagry beach looks like. I had been telling my children that I will take them to Lagos from my present location so they could have a feel of beach life in Lagos

But this analysis is not encouraging at all. I can imagine my daughter's sharp mouth comparing the beaches in Lagos to what is every where else.
Once I was in Ghana and I can't remember the name of that beach now, but it was beautiful. We didn't get harassed or bullied by area boys and it was a fun time we had. The place was neat, enough foamy waves crashing every where. Chai it was really nice o

As a tour operator/tour guide who often has to take tourists and vacationers to beaches and resorts, I can empathize with you. The monetisation of beaches, especially in Lagos is making them less appealing by the day

There are still relatively sane beaches in Badagry, and some parts of Lekki/Ibeju.

A few weeks ago, I decided to go to Benin Republic and experience at least one beach there. I was at Fidjrosse Beach in Cotonou and the experience beats Lagos hands down, in my opinion. Beach was clean; large stretches of sand as far as the eyes can see. Less litter and clean environment. And yes, entry was free.
The only challenge is that the CFA is now higher than the Naira in value. So, it's more expensive traveling there.
