Car TalkRe: Is Buying A Car Really Worth It?? by JetStar: 11:28am On Apr 02, 2022

A car doesn't look like a luxury to me.

You didn't put my metrics into consideration.
1.I have only 3 years more in the country.
2.Police wahala.
3 years is still a long time so a car might be good for you. But do not spend so much on cars since you intend on leaving the country soon. However, I will advise that you get cheaper car that will put you under the radar think something like a modern version of Toyota Sienna (avoid SUVs and good looking sedans). Hatchbacks such as Volkswagen golf may be considered as student car and won't draw too much attention.
Foreign AffairsRe: Russia Threatens To Fine Wikipedia If It Doesn't Remove Details About The War by JetStar: 10:07pm On Apr 01, 2022
Bigchristo:
So long as Wikipedia is accessible in their country they ought to obey the Russia law or risk being scrapped from their internet.
When buhari did that in Nigeria, a lot of people were able to access twitter through VPN. Did you know that Iran and China censors the internet but still their citizens will still be able to access it whenever they want to? Russia sanctioned Telegram but that didn't stop Russian people from accessing it. The ban became so ineffective that the Russian govt. decided to lift the ban.

That makes no sense
Does it make sense to you when Zamfara people are allowed to sell their gold to FG and the Niger Deltans are considered thieves when they do so to their oil

https://businessday.ng/news/article/niger-delta-youths-give-fg-ultimatum-over-sale-of-zamfara-gold/

Does it make sense to you when states are not allowed to collect VAT and Personal Income Taxes (even when the law explicitly gives them the right to do so). This makes the state to place all manner of unreasonable taxes on businesses just because FG wants to share the money and keep a good chunk of it for federal budget?

It is the way Nigeria was created. Consolidate all revenue sources to the center and strip everyone else off the power to control resources. It's the monster they made.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Why Is It That Nigerians Don't Like Paying For Services. by JetStar: 2:05pm On Mar 30, 2022
Samson0303:
I'm a graphics designer and Web developer.

I have worked for many Nigerians, but what I noticed is that when they need the work, their pressures will be on you an be messaging and calling you time to time to followup on their work.

But once you completed and submitted the work to them, the ghost-mode has started, some will stop reading your messages, some will stop picking your calls, some will even goes as far as picking up up fight with you and the worst they'll start posting you for payment, like my bank network is bad, I want to sleep, when I wakeup I'll pay and many silly excuses in order not to pay.

Some people even relate with you very close that, you won't even know how to charge them for some works and you'll expect them to pay you well after deliver their works, but they'll still go ahead and pay peanuts.

Especially people you have being working with for a long time, takes this long time business relationship as Avenue to not pay for some little works. Let's assume you have designed a logo for some and he has paid and he later asked you to render the logo on a bus or brand a car for him, they'll expect you to do that for free, because they've paid you for the logo.

What do you think we can do as servicemen and servicewomen to curb this. This concern almost everyone I expect everyone to say something about this.
So you really have the time to work with people from developing countries? WoW! As a freelancer, I never work for such people. And you should be minding the type of job you are taking. Most Nigerians are middle men and so are indians, bangladeshi's, pakistani's and almost everyone from a developing country. AVOID THEM. They are mudafukers.

Russian soldiers are well armed and are larger in number even if Ukraine fights for the next 20 years the odds are not in their favour it's better to make peace and avoid uneeded losses...
You lack sense. Ukrainains prefer to lose some lives and property just to get their freedom. Besides they also have superpowers (the west) that are backing them with weapons and sanctions against the enemy. If you think you have sense surrender your northern part of the country to terrorists. After all, why would you want your people to suffer being slaughtered, despite the tucano fighter jets that have been sent over there and the support of the army and the police and even support from the West that you are hating?

Mickykarim:
PUT IT IN THE CAPITAL MARKET, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE IMMEDIATE NEED FOR IT AND OR AN IDEA FOR IT RIGHT AWAY.

The alternative would be a FIXED deposit.
God forbid bad things. Why would you advise one to store money in the bank especially now when inflation is a real thing in Nigeria? If the OP doesn't have anything serious to do with his money, he should use it to purchase a piece of land in his area (close to a place that is developing) over time, he's asset would be worth more than what he paid for that land. My dad initailly considered Fixed Deposit and all its variants at one of the commerical banks, but the interest rate is soo low that inflation would have wiped off the gains by now. He used it instead to get some parcel of land and now that land is worth 2 times what he bought it for. It been about 3 years when he considered fixed deposit and now he's not regretting dumping that stupid idea.

Tranquility4u:
That's the double standard from the white fascists and supremacists. When an African or Asian nation is oppressed it is fine, but when a westerner or a white nation is oppressed they retaliate and cry for freedom they didn't ask for others who do not share similar skin colour like them.

They believe their Europe and their West should never witness war of any kind, but they happily invade and launch a full scale war on continents/nations other than theirs, destabilize them and kill the leaders of the nations they invaded.

But they should remember that nothing lasts forever.

I'm against the recent happenings in Europe - the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, but Africans should learn from the hypocrisy of the West - people whom you think are fighting for your interest. They only do that at the front of the camera and nowhere else.
It is because of Chinese money that's why they banned him. Stop spewing ignorance. China is the biggest market in the world.

LeoDeKing:
He is a Niger Deltan.

No difference between Akpabio and govs of the Niger Delta states.

Money meant for the development of the region finds its way to the pockets of the leaders and nothing is done.

Good thing is that the Niger Deltans have realised this and have started pointing accusing fingers to their leaders.

But congo jews from Afghaneastern will rather continue screaming Buhari like some frustrated wild pigs. undecided
Unless the people revolt and protest against corruption, Buhari and his cabals will keep akapbio in the NDDC so long as it doesn't hurt his interests. The big fault here is Buhari who appointed him a minister. Niger Delta has been calling for the sack of the incompetent negro but the president has been very stubborn.

Femi8586:
The aim of NATO is to turn Putin's people against him.
Once his people are severely suffering because of him, they will hate him automatically and that marks the beginning of his downfall.

NATOs are very good manipulators. Putin foolishly played into their trap.
You have a poor understanding about the situation. NATO is not manipulating anyone here. Russia is the one pushing itself to disaster. As the popular saying goes if you don't want heat then don't go to the kitchen. Before now Russia have been trading with the world. Its people have had very big businesses outside Russia. But putin blew all that up for his ego. He was thinking that Ukraine was capable to invade Russia if they joined NATO. But that was a miscalculation because to invade Russia, you must be ready to bear the impact of the nukes that Russia has in its arsenal and no nation wants that.
TravelRe: Ibadan To Lagos Train Stuck In The Forest As Fuel Finishes (pictures) by JetStar: 3:05pm On Mar 10, 2022
FalseProphet1:
Planes calculate the distance they're to cover per miles and estimate the total liters of fuel that would cover it.

Why can't the railway management adopt the same strategy?

Lagos to Ibadan shouldn't be more than 350 kilometers (I stand to be corrected) then they'll estimate the quantity of fuel in liters that can cover 350 kilometers and discharge it into the train's tank.

But no, one manager somewhere will pocket the money and buy half the quantity hoping for a miracle to happen that would take the train to it's destination, thereby risking the passengers life when it gets stocked in a remote bush as a result of an empty tank.

I don't see Nigeria surviving as a country come 2023.

This I have seen.
Pilots do that before they fly their planes because if the fuel finishes while in flight, then the passengers won't be alive to share this story with us and I don't think that we would be able to see their pieces on the ground. I hear say 9ja want start their national airline. Just imagine that this event occurred with one of their airplanes. Oh boy.....
