Family › Re: If Your Daughter Spilled Your Butter All Over Herself, What Would You Do? by iguita: 12:41pm On Feb 22, 2016
Take a picture of her so that when she has her own kids and she starts screaming her head off, you can show that she was naughtier as a kid. Then bathe her and serve her some good bread and butter so she understands the mystery she was searching for. This baby is too cute for you to get annoyed sef.

#Gbam. I thought this common sense is simple.
jpphilips:
Fashola is busy insulting common sense, give us meter then increase your tariff, if I can afford just 10hrs of your expensive electricity daily, so be it, if i can afford 24hrs, then so be it.
Science/Technology › Re: Ways To Keep Your Tech Swag Despite High Electricity Tariffs by iguita: 4:22pm On Feb 14, 2016
Ogbeni, you have exposed the secrets of these guys oo. father inlaw and I were discussing these issue just an hour ago and I told him that the increment in tariff will not improve generation or supply, rather what we will see is another increment by this time next year. I should show the old man your post, it made all my arguments since morning simple. What I do not understand is why the honorable (or horrorable minister in this case supported them, I told daddy he must have collected brown envelope but daddy is a devoted Buhari/ Fashola follower.
jpphilips:
The power companies need money to invest in the sector no doubt about that, power generation cost money, that does not still justify the increment at least till we all get meters.

The Honorable Minister Fashola should explain to Nigerians how companies that lack the Financial muscle to invest in the electricity sector won those bids, It wasn't his administration but the realities on ground have necessitated a total probe of the bidding process.

it's like selling an airline to a cab company then turn around and ask the passengers to pay more so that the cab company can buy a plane when it was pretty obvious ab initio that the cab company lacked the capacity to manage an airline.
These companies were allegedly sold to cronies of former president Jonathan in a very dubious process, companies that lack the expertise and financials to run anything were given critical national assets to manage, the process was so shoddy that reputable world class companies like Manitoba was knocked off in favour of companies that had no idea the difference between + & -, are we still surprised why Barth Nnaji was eased out during the Alibaba process. The Acquisition process must be probed!!


Before Nigerians are forced to pay more for services they never get, we need to look at two money spinning areas for the electricity companies.

1) Estimated billing
2) Fixed charge.

Nigerians were charged a fixed charge of 750 naira from 2013 to the last day of 2015, if we take a DISCO like EEDC for example, EEDC monopolized 5 states (Anambra,Imo,Abia,Ebonyi and Enugu states), if we estimate an average of 50 million flats in these states, EEDC makes
750 X 50,000,000.that is a whooping 37.5b naira monthly or 900bn naira for 2yrs.
If you have a bad substation (transformer), they will never spend 2m to replace it rather they will Refurbish it in 20cycles from one street to the other.

KEPCO completed a 200MW power plant in the Philippines for $450m, with exchange rate of 155naira to a dollar (2013 when the DISCOS took over) that amounts to 69.7b naira. This has clearly shown us that a DISCO like EEDC has made enough money in 2yrs to build 13, 200MW power plant from fixed charge alone.


Estimated Billing;


A flat in my neighborhood pays 25k as monthly charge, an area that suffers 4hrs of electricity a day, now, if you do the maths with the worst type of electronics on earth, you will agree with me that a flat in my neighborhood should not consume more than 7k in a month.
Subtract that amount from the 25k we pay, the DISCO is making another killing of 18k per flat, I am sure that it is the same with most estimated flats.

Suppose half of EEDC customers are on estimated billing, on this fraud they make another 18k X 25m= 450b per month or 10.8T in 2yrs, let us give recurrent expenditure half of that amount, EEDC as a DISCO made 6.3T in two years, an amount that can build 78nos 200MW power plant.

How can fashola convince me that they do not have the funds to invest in the sector to guarantee steady electricity for consumers?

One of the least Power assets is a meter, a three phase meter retails in China for $80 quantity price, yet fashola thinks that a company sitting on 6.3T could not provide an $80 meter to justify the said increment?
If at 6.3T they can not provide ordinary meter, how much more do we need to pay before a transmission line is replaced?

Is this change??

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Why Entrepreneurship Is Not The Solution To Unemployment In Nigeria by iguita: 10:27am On Jan 25, 2016
I do not support your views.

Point 1, not everybody can be like Adenuga or Dangote or Otedola. They are billionaires. Not every entrepreneur will be a billionaire but most entrepreneurs can lift their family out of poverty, they can employ between five to ten people. That is he reason why govt is hammering on entrepreneurship, to create multiple jobs and not to maker anybody Dangote. Dangote is mentioned just to inspire you, to set standards for you. Not every successful entrepreneur will be dangote, in fact, maybe 0.000000000001% of entrepreneurs will replace Dangote

biggiyke:
Wednesday morning, I was in Badagry with the towing van by 8am. He charged me 45k!!! I was willing to pay anything to get my car out of Badagry. I suspected the watermermaids were on my case.
By now, I realized that the small village off the Badagry-Seme highway was actually a resting spot for cars that have been cleared and awaiting delivery to their owners. Right before me, different cars were arriving and leaving. No one get problem. Na only my own carry French-speaking witch cross border.
We managed to couple the alternator, borrowed battery from one of the waiting cars and started my baby again. Still not charging, and now, oil and water oozing out from the ruptured oil cooler. We took a risk and drove it up the ramp and into the flat bed of the towing truck. Im still amazed at how lucky I was, cos this operation could have resulted in a blown head gasket at best, or a knocked engine at worst. As soon as my baby was parked on the bed, we switched off the engine and secured her.
Oya na, oga Hiliary, wey d custom paper make I carry my wahala dey go? He called the driver with the papers, switched off!! We couldn't reach the driver from 10am till I left Badagry by 4pm.
I came back home again, without my car, 7 days after I bought her.
Words cant explain how I felt. All the initial excitement of buying a car had dissipated.
Well, the towing van had no choice but to sleep over at Badagry, of course we renegotiated the price to 55k.
Around 11pm, Hillary called me. Hillary, o gini kwa? Will you deny me sleep at night as well? He said the driver with the paper was back from Cotonou and with my permission, they can start coming down to Lagos that night.
I agreed and despite the towing driver expressing his discomfort with towing an unregistered vehicle by 12 midnight, they hit the road.
1am, sleep no gree come.
2am, I wake my wife, we begin pray.
3am, I wake my son, he join for prayer.
4am, I woke my cousin, he join
5am, I woke my mother-in-law, she join.
6am........

Culture › Re: Only The Ooni Of Ife Can Inherit The Late Ooni’s Widows Says Tradition(pictures) by iguita: 10:26pm On Dec 13, 2015
I mean someone who is not an Oba, I remember whiles I was serving, the Oba of the Village was interested in my gf. And I was told that once he starts with her, I must stop sleeping with her.
Frankiss44:
It's not a taboo is the person having sex with her is the Oba.. The same culture is practiced here in the Benin Kingdom..

The first priority of the inheritance is for security... But should the Oba decides to have sex with any of them tradition forbids the Queens to reject him.
Culture › Re: Only The Ooni Of Ife Can Inherit The Late Ooni’s Widows Says Tradition(pictures) by iguita: 8:18am On Dec 13, 2015
Thank you for setting thing right. The new Ooni does not have to sleep with these women, tradition says he should take care of them like his wives, that is the reason for the inheritance and not sex. It is even a taboo to have sex with a woman an Oba has had sex with whether she is an Olori (legally married to the Oba) or not.
crispgg:
People always misinterprete this yoruba tradition. There are two reasons why this is done.
1. Back in the day, yoruba kings were seen as demi-gods and highly revered. Therefore it was thought not to be proper for the young widows who were still young enough to remarry be taken up by mere mortals. Hence, another Oba must inherit them.

2. For the older wives, some of them very old. Who would take care of them if the new Oba sends them packing from the palace? Hence, he is also to become their husband thereby guaranteeing their sustenance till death. He might not even set eyes on them till they die. But he has the responsibility for their well being. That is the whole essence of this practice
Culture › Re: Only The Ooni Of Ife Can Inherit The Late Ooni’s Widows Says Tradition(pictures) by iguita: 7:51am On Dec 13, 2015
He does not have to sleep with them. Inheriting them is for security. That means he has to take care of them and they still bear the title 'Olori' and not the make-shift title of Olori (ex-Olori really). It now depends on both of them if they want to be sleeping with each other.
Mjshexy:
Why must he inherit these old women, he has a much younger lady as his wife & can still marry many far younger chicks out there, abeg the widows should pipe down & leave the palace. It will even be an insult for him to inherit his father's wives

ziccoit:
PMB promised he would build institutions and allow them to function. Sheu Garba was asked by a channel tv presenter on fuel scarcity, the man said he would advise the question was directed to NNPC that institution of government should be allowed to work.

Where am I going? NJC is an institution of government which was created , vested with enormous power and responsibilities among which is strengthen the structures and integrity of the rule of law; preserving and improving justice. Now that a judge has been found guilty and recommended for dismissal from service by NJC the rest now lie with the president and his person whether he would allow the impunity to continue or not. We have so accustomed to abuse of power and process for so long that majority find it difficult to recognize right things in our system. Right is seen as being wrong and vice vasa.

On the last note, majority of comments here where the commenters attacked the step took by the president were borne out of nothing but hatred for the occupier of seat of president. They know what is right and how things should go but will never give credit to the man for job well done.

saasala:
Jungle justice is one thing I detest so much, but for a dude like that sagged niggerrr who freely kidnapped and raped a married woman I might be forced to call for tyres and petrol, and perhaps be the first to light the lighter. I am not even happy the Mopol's gunshot hit the mutherfvcker in the knee, it should have hit him in the head straight, let him meet his complete Waterloo there and then lest he has time to turn a pastor after spending 21 years in kirikiri maximum prison.

I dont know why a man would result to rape. I cant even enjoy sex if the other party is not enjoying it as well, talk more of seeing her cry. A girl slept in my house for seven good days at stretch and didnt wanna fvck me, instead of resulting to rape, by the eighth day I bundled her bag and sent her away without giving her one naira for transport, thats the highest I can do. She still begging me to come have the fvck now, but I aint gat time again.

If I were the woman's hubby, I would beg the police to allow me bite off the cap of his pennis..Sorry I mean I would bribe the police to allow me.

I hope the police get some more info about his co rapists and arrest them asap...No Time.
