It's called demand and supply; when the demand for a service or goods goes up without a corresponding increase in its supply, the price of that service or goods will therfore increase.
"159 scholars or so voting Trump as the worst president in American history"
like a group of former intelligence personnel said the Hunter Biden story was a Russian Hoax. Like they said Russia stole the election of 2016 for Donald Trump.
[quote author=Ojotu1 post=127740992]By Peter Awunah, PhD
The people of Benue State who voted for Hyacinth Alia as governor of the state in last year’s election must be ashamed of themselves for making such a mistake. Since he came to power, no one can tell the direction that the man who boasts of being the ship that ferried all APC candidates to victory is heading. There is evident confusion even within his cabinet. There is no clear focus, no coordination and no leadership.
Anyone who has visited Makurdi, the Benue State capital in the last seven months must have seen the potholes on all major roads in the town. Makurdi has become dusty, and even the street sweepers are no longer seen in the early hours of the day cleaning the city.
The worst situation is in the state ministries, departments and agencies of government. No activity goes on in any of the MDAs. Government House is not left out. According to those who have been there since June last year, the place stinks with no water running in the taps for flushing of toilets.
Alia says he is paying salaries of the workers and as far as he is concerned, that’s all that is needed. He doesn’t release overheads and other logistic support to the ministries and agencies for their operations. But the civil servants love it of course, because if they can sit at home all week and still receive their salaries at the end of the month, how is that bad? Productivity is relegated to the background.
Governor Alia operates like a parish priest who cannot be questioned. All that the people have to say is “Yes Father”. He gave them that response during the campaigns but they thought he was joking. Now they know better.
The man has elevated nepotism to heights never before seen in the history of Benue State. As a former priest, one would expect him to practice what he preached about unity and equality, but no, Alia is a preacher who would tell the people “do as I say, not as I do”. There is no tangible project to show since his administration came on board other than failed promises, lopsided appointments, and marginalisation.
Alia is sitting on huge money which has come in from Abuja. Benue State has received fat allocations but the Governor is silent on what has come in. As far as he pays the workers, his government is doing nothing else to develop the state.
No project is going on anywhere. He awarded contracts for the construction of 16 short streets of 15 kilometers and took out N9 billion for the projects but no construction is taking place on the roads.
Alia is not Prepared to govern Benue State. He came ill prepared and is acting exactly in that manner. His first seven months in office are the worst in the state since the return of democracy in 1999. The priest-turned-politician is the most lackluster of all the Benue governors in the last 25 years.
Governor Alia has failed to live up to expectations and instead of delivering on his campaign promises, he has taken up unnecessary battles against perceived critics, stakeholders, and his party members. His arrogance, ineptitude, pride, and all-knowing attitude have taken Benue State backward by over two decades.
The group of people who are worst hit and must be feeling ashamed are those who campaigned for him and mobilized voters in support of the Yes Father movement.
At first, many thought the governor was on a steep learning curve and the ship of the state would be righted and put on the course being an unfamiliar terrain for him. But unfortunately, Alia is not ready to learn or accept his mistakes.
The governor has become so power-drunk that he is now inaccessible to the electorate, stakeholders, and even his party members. Shame! Effective governance is about feedback and criticism. No one knows it all.
Should we talk about his controversial contracts? According to Sahara Reporters, Alia spent whopping amounts in just four months in office awarding fictitious contracts. Between May 29 and September 30th, he was reported to have received and spent more than N46 billion of state resources, prominent among which was the duplication of contracts for the procurement of Hummer buses as palliative measures.
Alia is truly a bad market for Benue. The people of the state made the wrong choice this time!
Tonero5200: left me stranded over 2 hours now in a restaurant have already ate from... .. everything I bought was 1350, I have just 500 in my wallet so all my mind was I was going to do transfer to them.

John pictures that with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden.
Let me give you small Bible study on that.
Firstly, The first COUPLE lived alone in the Garden. The two are to be viewed as ONE >>>Gen 2:24 - In the garden, two persons, the man and the woman, "became one flesh" >>>Gen 5:1-2 "God created man" (singular) "He made him" (singular) "Named them man" (singular) Yet it says: "He created THEM male and female" (plural) "He blessed THEM" (plural) "and Named THEM" (plural) "They were created" (plural) NOTE: The name EVE wasn't given to the woman not until after the fall, so both Male and the female were collectively called MAN.
Secondly, Gen 1:26-27 "Let us make man" (singular) "God created man" (singular) "He created him" (singular) In contrast the same text also says: "....let them rule" (plural) "Male and female he created THEM" (plural)
Lastly, Jesus refers to the first couple and after stating "they were one flesh" adds "they are no longer two"
In line of this, would it be wise to say: In the garden was the woman, the woman was with the man and the woman was A MAN?
Intellectual mind knows this is a wrong rendition because it will put the woman as A MALE which will be confused as the FIRST MALE.
So the best way to understand that even though both the male and the female were both collectively called "MAN" "them" e.t.c is to render it as: In the garden was the woman, the woman was with the man and the woman was MAN
Here intellectual mind knows that the woman was addressed as MAN per her NATURE.
So John 1:1 shows two separate persons with one NATURE (God).
Do you understand?

my brother, you have really tried. but you cannot use human logic to explain the Almighty God, Yaweh. He is unfathomable.
Xwizard: I will be straight and sharp, I don’t need any bad every response, I’ve done it already, and I want to handle it maturely. Just need advice from any one who had handled such issues peacefully that all.
Yesterday I was caught for bypassing, I wasn’t at home, so before I got back they’ve cut down my wire, my neighbor won’t let them take away the meter and wire. Immediately they called and told me, first thing I did was recharge online on the meter right away, hoping I would have a chance, but I got home now I saw they’ve opened the meter, and I’m sure our people they would have taken enough pictures of the tampered meter, some of them can even pix mix I’m for evidence.
Well they dropped a letter for me, on the letter my last recharge was written at the back stating about 8months ago, and a phone at the back.
I don’t know what to do first, any I’ve not make any move yet, but I’ve corrected the bypass meter. suggestions how best to handle it.
Ole! it is your kind making life difficult for the rest of us honest people. SMH

Finesse1st: I have everything a girl needs in man but I'm an introvert I just love talking to myself only, I got a lot of green light but immediately I try to go for it and the girl form a little hard to get I just immediately go back to my default settings.
so because your fellow man owns a Lexus and you do not makes you feel depressed. there's another word for your feelings; it is envy. how about you keep at whatever honest work you find and maybe, someday, you too could buy a Lexus for yourself.
Aljebraschool: Mathematics is the oldest field of knowledge after philosophy, and it has been regarded as the language of science. But Mathematics was initially treated as an abstraction during the Greek's civilization. This notion changed during the Golden Age when the Arabians were implementing science with new philosophy which brought a concept of applied science that we have today. This series answers the question: who is the father of algorithm? and who is the father of algebra? Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī (Arabic: محمد بن موسى الخوارزمي) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, astrologer and geographer. He was born around 780, in either Khwarizm or Baghdad, and died around 850.
He was the author of al-Kitāb al-mukhtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-jabr wa-l-muqābala, the first book on the systematic solution of linear and quadratic equations. Consequently, he is considered to be the father of algebra, a title he shares with Diophantus. The word algebra is derived from al-jabr, one of the two operations used to solve quadratic equations, as described in his book. Algoritmi de numero Indorum, the Latin translation of his other major work on the Indian numerals, introduced the positional number system and the number zero to the Western world in the 12th century. The words algorism and algorithm stem from Algoritmi, the Latinization of his name. His name is also the origin of the Spanish word guarismo, meaning digit.
Highman56: Today at the market I was just seeing different asses in all shapes and sizes like I shud grab one.How do u guys avoid staring at fine ladies?

Fineman87: This govt is made up of stupid people, I swear. How can Saudi Arabia's govt come to Abuja to recruit our medical professionals. How?? On what basis?? Who is conducting the recruitment exercise?? Is it a Nigerian company?? Does the Saudi Arabian govt have permission to conduct recruitment on Nigerian soil. Does their embassy have the authority to conduct recruitment in a foreign country?? How is this recruitment possible pls? Can any country just go into another country to recruit foreign citizens.
This govt is very stupid. I never for once admired any of its ministers, especially the foreign affairs minister, whom I consider an elufelu. Shame on Nigeria. Shame.
Under a foolish careless irresponsible president, who has assembled a team of buffoonery ministers, would a foreign govt come, without permission, to our country to recruit our medical professionals. Shame. If we allow this, other countries would follow suit.
However this Buhari became president of this country, Hell fire awaits all those who packaged this ethnic and irresponsible irredentist to Nigeria in 2015. The afterlife would be interesting.
what day hell do you mean. Are we not free people? No one can be forced to stay and work in Nigeria. this is simply free market competition for Labour.
Infolenka: It takes a lot for an African to win a Grammy award. There are very limited categories for African artistes and only a very unique and revolutionary artiste can bag a Grammy. American artistes can get away with singing cliche songs but not an African artistes.
Here are the reasons why Davido will never win a Grammy.
1. He only sings about sex, women and money. Compare that with burna boys songs that bite deep into issues ailing Africans and paints a very artistic representation of the typical Nigerian society; our culture, attitudes and lifestyle, with his music.
2. There is no revolutionary or powerful message in Davido's songs.
3. His songs don't really cut across genres. He only sings the same stale afrobeat songs that thousands of artistes are singing. Only that he does it better.
I think artistes like Fireboy, Rema and Omah lay will win a Grammy before Davido.
what rubbish! do you even know what you are talking about? have you heard of lady Gaga, Eminem, Beyonce ... they've all got Grammies.
MediMedi: I'm new to makurdi, I know wurukum roundabout but not know where those girls use to stay, tell me ahbeg. And, don't der like going out from the brothel I won carry one go Southcore

OyinO: I was a die-hard fan of Dark Man X who idolised him more than any other person alive but I realised,
He prayed and asked for forgiveness in most of his Prayers like Prayer III "Lord Jesus it is you who wakes me up everyday, and I'm forever grateful for your love, this is why I pray..." In one song, he's praying but in the next song, it's bitches and dogs, thugs and Bleep and sucking dick. Then I came across American system turning the Black Americans into sociopaths. Then I saw it all. They were paid as tools to turn young black men into thugs, perverts, sociopaths, etc.
Rest in Peace Dear Dark Man X
oh, helpless, naive black people. always being manipulated and controlled by other races. blacks must be sub human to be so victimized. but excuses, excuses, is all I hear.
DmX was one of a kind. He was as real as you could get. A tortured soul living in the dark, but always moving toward the light. I really enjoy his songs even today. when I began enjoying music some 21 years ago, DmX was the only artist I'd listen to for 3 years. I quite liked:
coming from for my dogs who's next the professional ready to meet him coming for ya lord give me a sign let me fly stop being greedy dog for life slippin more to a song who we be I'm bang ... and a lot more.
favorite quote, " to live is to suffer and to survive, you gats to find meaning in the suffering". DmX
