Chairman what do you people want sef? Buhari did his own - Let Tinubu do his own so far they perform should be the koko?

Tunji Ojo is inexperienced as per Naija parlance to be Minister of Interior; his strongest CV is being Tinubu son inlaw, however in his less than 3months stint he has shown potential to out perform Aregbe who came to same position with 8yrs commisioner experience + 8 Governor experience...

So let Tinubu appoint who ever he wants, if they mess up is on him, and I would blame him squarely unlike those who would rather excuse Buhari for the mess ups of his appointees.

[color=royalblue]He should appoint only his family members sef

I agree with you.

One Geo Zone got 2 slots
The remaining 5 go share 3 slots.

Na wa[/color]

larride:
There are still plenty appointments and Head of agencies

[color=royalblue]Every appointment that we can say are the big ones, are occupied by Yorubas

I really don't know the particular ones we should be looking out for[/color]

raumdeuter:
Shey Buhari never do am already?

[color=royalblue]Buhari was not packing his NW brothers into everything.

Everything is Yoruba. I was hoping the EFCC won't be true.. Sadly, it is.

Even the North that made him win, e sideline them. The South that probably should enjoy his nepotism while it lasts, e sideline them[/color]

larride:
He needs to begin spread out the appointments asap.

[color=royalblue]Wetin e wan spread again, when the top ones na Yoruba?
[/color]

larride:
Even me shock.

Just saw another breaking news for the federal commissioner of NPC, another Yoruba guy.

Awa Lokan gan ni.

[color=royalblue]It is disturbing.

A Southern turn, but na only SW full am.

I really pity us when the North takes over.[/color]

I don't think they can treat workers like that in a sane country.

[color=royalblue]Their countries are not sane naa.[/color]

[color=royalblue]Why is Tinubu putting Yorubas everywhere?

Or why is nobody talking about it?

EFCC Chairman na still Yoruba man again?[/color]

GrammarNazi1:
The Chinese company where I worked then was also 7am to 7pm and daily pay was as low as the figure you quoted.

Yes, your "no sitting down" claim is similar to what I already said about no idle moment in a Chinese company; you cannot be idle for even a minute.

Most of the Chinese guys in that Chinese company where I worked even had to, each time immigration officers came to the company, hide from the immigration officers.

[color=royalblue]Lol.

Labour laws in Nigeria are non existent. If they were, some of these companies should have folded up[/color]

Incognito9:
Nah agbero hit you 😂😂

[color=royalblue]Yes oh.

That's not a fight i want to start, talk more of win[/color]

[color=royalblue]Maybe it is just me, but i have a problem with utterances like this.[/color]

They could’ve killed themselves if they had any dangerous weapon in their possession.

Sometimes na because neither of them get insurance na why dem go wan teach each other lesson having made up their mind to repair their own cars themselves.

One man don bash me before on a Sunday morning in front of his church like this . The really provoked me cos I was right behind him seeing that he wants to make a turn ; I gave him enough space to do whatever balablue he wanted to do, yet he found a way to hit me despite honking loudly behind him o.

I just came down, checked my car and completely ignored him mouthing incoherent at first . He later apologized when he observed I didn’t engage him in any shouting contest/argument . I drove off , contacted my insurer the next day and had my car fixed within the week.

[color=royalblue]Almost everybody driving is angry

And its best to just avoid any form of altercations as much as you can.

One day, a guy hit me from behind. I came down to see the dent, and this guy just sat in his car. He didn't move. He didn't apologise

I looked again, and i saw McOluomo stickers on his fenders, saw Jagaban logo and all that.

I just carry my two legs enter my own drive off.


This one pass me abeg [/color]

[color=royalblue]Just use Julius Berger and CCECC

You will know who has better working conditions just by looking at the on site labourers[/color]

GrammarNazi1:
I have worked in a Chinese company before.

The Chinese are so bad that even if there is no work at a particular period in your factory section, they will force you to engage in another work.

For example, they can force you to start cleaning the toilets or start packing ants for them; the Chinese will make sure that you are not for one minute idle. It's crazy and can mess up an employee's mental health. I mean that's the crudest level of human treatment.

[color=royalblue]When i see people compare them to Nigerians, i laugh

My friend worked in a bakery own by them.

For every single slice of bread that you make a mistake, they deduct your salary...I mean EVERY SINGLE SLICE

Sometimes, your salary is almost gone before the month ends.

These guys no send holidays or sickness or leave.


The ones that do detergent work from 7am to 7pm. 1 hour break.

No sitting down. You will package detergents with just one nose mask. By 7pm, your face is already turning red.

Their daily pay is always 500 to 750. Maybe it has increased now sha[/color]

Melvyn11:
Is it different from how some Nigerian firm treats Nigerians?

[color=royalblue]Come to Kirikiri road, and let me give you a tour on some of these Lebanese companies that produce detergents

That's when you will know we have mad love for ourselves as Nigerians[/color]

Addo road, Ajah

People move about with so much anger these days. I don't know if it is the country or that is their default mode.

Imagine if one of them had a gun.

[color=royalblue]Nihilistjnr may be right.

Israel did set a trap for Hamas, and they fell for it.[/color]

KingTom:
Shuo!! You're telling me? I collided with one Ford Ranger once a much larger car omo na God save the driver, I smashed the ranger to bits and my Tacki na only headlights break and small squeeze. Nigga came out and said he must buy Tacoma, after we sat down over some bottles consoling ourselves and thanking our creators for sparing us

[color=royalblue]Funnily enough, this vehicle was not expensive oh

I don't know about now sha[/color]

KingTom:
Wetin I carry evade kidnappers for Auchi-Okene Rd? That car is family now

[color=royalblue]E too rugged abeg. [/color]

OasisX:
.....I hope he is right sha, coz he said concrete road is cheaper and durable than asphalt road.

[color=royalblue]Maybe he meant cheaper in a long term.

Nothing is wrong with Asphalt. Just maintain it. Seal it every few years.

Umahi is starting to become the grandmaster of Elephant projects. No be him build airport wey flight no dey?

He can convince us that gold is best for constructing roads. He has earned that place.[/color]

raumdeuter:
The only thing BUA can guarantee is the rate they release it from their factory. I can turn around and slam 100K on it. What can BUA do about it?

Its business, distance from factory, or absence of competition in my market will always determine price it gets to consumers.

[color=royalblue]Yeah. I think that is where Nigerians misunderstood it, or BUA wanted to be mischievous

You are selling to a wholesaler at 3500 and you are announcing it.

Is he supposed to sell at 3500 too?[/color]

GloriousGbola:
The argument for concrete roads is if done well they are mostly maintainence free. The problem is our maintenance is shit. I know a guy who worked on maintenance work crews in the UK. Every night they would go out to fix bad parts of roads. And the great thing about asphalt - it is good to go in 30 minutes.

I agree with you. In the current economic climate, a concrete road is what we call 'a nice to have'. Looks great in the presentation but awful in the budget

[color=royalblue]I have always wondered what that FERMA does sef.
[/color]

[quote author=OasisX post=126344658][font=serif]......according to him, Contractors are using adultrated bitumen thus affecting quality of the asphalt roads.

He made mention of East-West Road from Bayelsa to River Axis which is completely washed off already, then compare it to concrete roads built by Dangote in Lagos.

Also, Cement Manufacturers have keyed in and promised to supply Contractors at cheaper rate. He further argued that it also will reduce pressure on Naira since there won't be need for Bitumen importation anymore.

Kindly watch the link bro, honestly he made valid points.

Please let us hear Umahi oh. They are trying to frustrate our man 😂

West road became terrible when the last floods came. How can a minister be comparing that to Apapa Oshodi expressway that does not experience any floods?

Also, concrete roads do well under oil spills, but they are not flexible, so they can break if a heavy object falls on it.

Concrete roads are easier to maintain but expensive to repair. The inverse goes for Asphalt.

The money they are spending on concrete roads can revive a Bitumen plant here and create jobs, thereby providing the specified Bitumen for the job.

OasisX:
.....May I know your reason, coz his argument is so much convincing.

[color=royalblue]The very first issue is that they are very expensive, and the country does not have that now. The money you will use to construct a 400km of concrete, may construct up to 700km of asphalt. At a time when we are struggling to have good roads everywhere, why should we do that?

There is nothing wrong with Asphalt. Advanced countries still use Asphalt, even more that concrete. I just don't understand how we became so obsessed with cement overnight.

I can go on and on with comparisons, but it can also be found on Google.

The first and only issue is that we cannot be wasting scarce resources on concrete[/color]

OasisX:
.....izzou. Do you agree with Umahi's decision to constructing our roads with concrete [cement] as against asphalt [bitumen]?!

[color=royalblue]Nope

I do not entirely subscribe to using cement only.[/color]
