PoliticsRe: Emefiele Impersonated SGF To Illegally Obtain $6.2m – EFCC by IMASTEX: 8:22am On Jan 19, 2024
tiswell:
Emefiele must not go down alone.

And why is his principal walking free?🤔
That shows its all a political game of distraction and before Nigerian knows it, another 8 years is gone. Look beyond the bigger picture, anything happening to Emefiele without directly involving Buhari is a game. In some standard organization, an overseeing supervisor is first sanctioned for lack of competence before any of his subordinate who commits an offense is been addressed.

If BAT forced the camel through the needle's eye when he wasn't even in power to achieve his life long ambition. It is now that he is fully in charge that he won't retain the power. I am not a fan of BAT, I am talking as a realist.

BusinessRe: Video Of production Flaring At Dangote Refinery by IMASTEX: 12:44pm On Jan 13, 2024
nairalanda1:
If you were a businessman, and you were selling yam you bought from farmer at N1500 per tuber, will you sell that same tuber at N200 per tuber to help the poor breathe? To help the masses breathe?

You will not, because your business will die.

Dangote needs to pay salaries(at the rate that his workers would not jakpa), pay taxes, pay for crude at international prices, pay for maintenance costs, etc etc. Expecting him to do all that and then sell fuel at N200 per liter because of the masses is a big joke.

Businesses are not charities. They exist to make profits, and to make more profits. They do not care about the masses, because if they let the masses set their prices, they would crash. If the masses were allowed to set MTN and Airtel prices, they would crash well well.

Hopefully, it would reduce the pressure on dollars, and hopefully this means the cost of transporting fuel falls. But the era of cheap fuel is over. NNPC is even now a private company self.

The funny thing is people will call me oppressor now. Ok. If a business cannot set its prices, how would it make profit for shareholders and workers? Shebi government go pay am? Lol.
You have stated the obvious and I quite partially agree with you on the business angle. Meanwhile, the government owes it a responsibility to create a balance in the system. I.e. a person can decide to sell a yam for 10k per yam. Same yam he bought from a farmer at 200 & other cost 500 making a total of 700 expenses incurred. And make 9k profit especially on essential products yet the govt will look the other way. So it's more of exploitation rather than business. These are also one of the artificial causes of inflation. No regulations on profit ratio. Not to mention the strengthening & support for market monopoly by government actions & inactions. This will continue to create the wide gap there by enriching the rich & weakening the poor. This is my general observation of the Nigeria business environment. On the Dangote refinery, there won't be price cut neither will it improve the pressure on forex. The only merit is that there will be product availability.

At least it will reduce pressure on forex.
That should have been one of the guarantee merit. But Nigeria politicians can't be trusted. Watch and see how they will blame other sector for forex scarcity. After artificially hoarding it for individual gains.

SharingIsLife:
You started laughing grin grin grin without hearing my response first. That he was born that way doesn't necessarily mean that he was created that way. There may have been some negative interruptions in the womb that may not have been permitted by God.

I was responding to the other guy and I quoted a tweet that show that even society influence is just like the person was born that way, using Yahoo as an example but it's similar. https://twitter.com/DNCNetwork1/status/1743198485287981148?t=494IfK6jmV1wF_JDzFcHHQ&s=19[/quote]You're right. People are just seeking easy excuse to keep doing what they like.
FamilyRe: My Younger Brother Is Gay by IMASTEX: 11:53am On Jan 05, 2024
SharingIsLife:
I have never come close to tolerating gay until I read this. I used to have hot arguments with my neighbor who said that many gay guys are born that way. Could this just be true? I'm actually shedding tears right now😭

My advice is: Since even you agree he has been like that from childhood, don't try to put any pressure on him. Just hand him over to God and let him be. This world's got uncountable mysteries🙏😭
Those two bolded are kind of conflicting. If he was born that way, meaning he was created same way by the same person you asked him to handover to. On a lighter note though grin grin

Personally, I think people's social & behavioral pattern is largely the influence of the immediate environment & the society. The females around him may have unconsciously played a significant role while he was growing up. I have observed cases where bigger sisters regularly costumed their kid brother with their own wears & makeup. Bath & freely unclothe completely in his presence, etc. Its even worse when he happens to be the only "male" around.
Christianity EtcRe: Don't Borrow To Celebrate Christmas, Cleric Tells Nigerians by IMASTEX: 8:29pm On Dec 24, 2023
Should anyone be told that in the first place! Why borrow because of a day enjoyment when it's beyond ones income and then struggle for months as a result. Moreover, Christ is the reason for the season thus he would rather one does more of humility than chicken, rice, drinks, clubbing, etc.

PoliticsRe: ECOWAS Court Rejects Richard Ugbah’s Request For Transfer To Nigeria (Photo) by IMASTEX: 6:08am On Dec 15, 2023
FreeStuffsNG:
Hmmmm. Pride goeth before a fall.

So some of you can actually go as far as ECOWAS court, pay lawyers to beg the court on your behalf to make Nigeria, same Nigeria you hate,insult, and speak ill of, to take you back into a Nigerian jail. Smh.

When you are overseas , you become so full of yourself and you talk down on Nigeria and our Patriots who stay in Nigeria to build our fatherland, the land is 'listening' too, when you need its blessings and favour, it will deny you of it. One of those ECOWAS Judges who denied his plea is a Nigerian.

This is a lesson to most of you that one day, you will need Nigeria and Nigeria will reject you. You bless the land, it blesses you, you curse it, it curses you back.

This is a case of Japa-da denied.
He has a plan, he knows he can easily buy his way out considering the system in Nigeria. Moreover it was the same uncomfortable system that made him japa before deciding to practice what the politicians thought him back home in a sane society.

Why don't you make it clear on the job description and if it suits me, i apply
That was why I rounded it up with, there is no labour laws in Nigeria.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Why Do Nigerian Employers Request Irrelevant Information? by IMASTEX: 10:35am On Dec 13, 2023
Marital status: Your job description might involve working into the night, travels, having meetings in hotels with clients, etc.

Number of children: To determine to an extent your financial responsibility.

Children ages: To determine the focus level and availability.

Religion: To know if a certain day of worship might conflict with the company's interest.

Denomination: To know whether you will easily suspend work ethics for religious approach.

There is really no labour laws in Nigeria, hence the cut & nail approach by both public & private sector.

They want to start again. What is the ease of doing business in Nigeria? What modalities have you put in place to make things easier for business owners? If those companies were actually actively in business, do you think the unemployment rate would be in a state of emergency as it is now? Firstly, address the reason why many companies folding up before focusing on tax collection.
