Properties › Re: Abuja’s Most Expensive Estates by jpphilips(m): 10:44am On Nov 10, 2013
cluewebhost: 2.8 million a day would pay 100 people comfortably monthly. I didnt see up to 10 at the dredging site.
Corporate tax is about 20% after costs on the Gross profit.

Where did you see me supporting the Builders of the Estates? There's obvious poverty mentality showing in replies and that's what I brought out those facts to counter.

And mind you, there is nothing wrong with a Builder pricing his House as he sees fit, he has his reasons and it is his money afterall we are practicing Capitalism, not Socialism
pls stop replying them, but that money is too small shaa and the dredger in those areas are on lease, that money is only realistic if you own the dredger.
The daily profit is still about 1m for an owner who is from the community.
but about 600k for a company.

the bigger the dredger, the more the money.
do you know how much it cost to start such a buisness? (though not the issue)

the bone of contention is: are people making such amount legitimately to be able to afford such outrageous rent? the answer is a big "yes".

the day I saw the account balance of market revenue collectors, I nearly shit for floor and the fact that govt allows them to keep 20% is mind blowing.

they dont even pay tax, dey remit based on assumed target, no precise calculation of number of stores and hangars.

na yeye things dey give money for this country these days.

TOKUGAWA: The funniest thing about the whole thing is that by the time the revolution starts,the whole estates shall be occupied by the unemployed youths and local militia leaders.By that time the real owners must have fled to Europe via Garua(Northern Eastern Cameroon),remember it happened in Cuba.
you spend so much time dreaming please get to work.
the house owners will flee to Europe and solicit the help of a superior military that will flush out the rebels.
Northern Mali comes to mind, keep dreaming.

gerald09: I see abuja housing market about to crash. So many expensive houses in a city dangling from a thread. Most of these houses n estates are owned by civil servants n if every civil servant own a house n estates who will live in whose? Most of the houses and estates are empty cos it cost so much. Most people speculate dat abuja will be like lagos but its not possible majority of Lagos residence are into d private sector n Lagos is an industrious city, so the housing market will always be strong, Abuja is made up of 80% civil servant 10% are private but rely on d government to do business n the other 10% are purely private. Within d 80%, 10% own most of the expensive house in the city centre 20% own most of the houses in d suburb the other 70% rent houses from d suburb. For the other 20% in d private sector they rather buy houses @ d suburb. So then who leaves in these expensive houses in a city dangling from a thread?.
renting is different from ownership, the people who rent are few the reason why most estates are empty, conversely, people who live outside Abuja still own properties there so the buying market is booming.

Properties in Abj will collapse when the govt makes a conscious effort to check corruption, most of the properties will be confiscated and auctioned.

Wahala90: [color=#993333]
Mom: Son, when you get married and your wife gives you shit and behaves childish and senseless (it is normal), don't do anything. Never reject food, don't remind her you are the head, don't issue threats, don't beat her up and don't report her to anyone.

Son: What then should I do?

Mom: Keep quiet and eat every shit she gives you. The more shit you eat, the more you grow and mature fast.

Son: This is confusing! But Dad ate so much of your shit yet died of hypertension and malnutrition.

DailyNews: Yes, all male animals are created to be polygamous, and man happens to be a higher animal.

Male lions are polygamous, likewise many other male animals, but majority of female animals aren't born polygamous.

And I think it was meant for a purpose- maybe to ensure controlled reproduction. Women call men dog, and u think its a joke, yes men are like dogs in nature but via the word of God and via commitment to the practice of word of God, a man is exempted from that dog classification.

So dear, take it or leave it, all male species are born polygamous...so if u want a faithful man, marry one that's faithful to God and ensure he is in constant commitment with God, else, u are operating on probability.
seriously, do you really want ladies to cut you some social slack because you are born again?
If i was a lady that has any intention of dating you, i will sincerely question that feeling. in the realistic world where common sense rules, you sound......... (no apologies).
your justification for the African tradition going contrary to christian norms was a mere co incidence and yes in aboriginal African cultures there were level of immoralities that incurs the wrath of the gods with instant punishment which paints our present day Christianity in the light of leniency, from your posts above.

you failed to realize that most oracles in the African customs will not let any impure man to serve them, (now purity in the eyes of an oracle however debatable) but the point is that, people had a way of life that is chaste and reflection of their traditions and it worked at the time.

you can as well argue that people with sickle cell anemia who ended up in the evil forest or twins who were sacrificed were victims of barbarism when juxtaposed with what Christianity had to offer, yes i agree with you, but are we faring better with our present day Christianity?
where super men of god leave their wards in penury while they live in opulence (argument for another day).

The morality of the old is not comparable to what is obtainable today courtesy of our present day Christianity....fact.

mass murderers like Adolf hitler, the Harold Urey and his colleagues at Columbia University Ernest Lawrence (who developed the nuke),
kalashinikov, and lastly Dr robert Gallo who designed the Aids virus are all products of Christianity.
these men alone have killed more human beings than any evil deeds of the past.

I will like you to point to more facts why you think that Christianity threw in more morals than our fore fathers ever had.

If you think i need "thou shalt not commit adultery" to be faithful to my wife, then your religious inclination has blinded you so deeply that you don't even know how the real world works.

Our fore fathers never cheated even when Christianity was a mirage, Buddhist communities don't know Jesus either so you have no point with your conjectures up there.

chukwudi44: SORRY NO DEAL
if Jesus the founder of Christianity selected peter as the head of the church, i expect the pope to chose his successor from his cardinals, where he cant, he must select from elsewhere, that is what Jesus did, except for some reasons, the Papacy believe they are smarter than Jesus, that should be taken as an insult.
Christianity Etc › Re: Please Is There Anything Like Purgatory? by jpphilips(m): 11:59am On Nov 08, 2013
I took time to study most of the offshoots in Christianity and i found the roman catholic most interesting in terms of how their doctrines are close to what Jesus taught while still on earth, i cant categorically say that my research was elaborate or sacrosanct however, i find some part of their doctrines very insulting not because it is not biblical but the explanations given there in eludes common sense.
A few of those are

purgatory
Mary as a spiritual mother
The Papal Conclave.
incense

Should any Pope repeal these insults, i wont mind being a catholic priest to be in a position to convert others.

mildteddy: I used to feel this way too, but I don't anymore. I see all this tribalistic and ethnocentric comments here as a form of distraction by people, who the other 70% percent of the citizens (the poor ones) of this country are looking for are looking for who to blame for their predicaments. It's not coincidental that easterners are the derided ones and thus the object of blames, afterall they were the 'defeated ones'. It will only be for a while, and then it'll pass.
I feel a lot ok with the tribalistic rants, I blame people like you and some other posters with same opinion as you.
its like seeing where kids are bickering over a mundane issue on the street what do you do? do you go to stop them or do you mind your buisness?

that is what is expected of a sane mind not some unnecessary comments of how you are better or how much one should hate the forum or whatever the mods think about it.

if you take time or energy to quote a tribalistic comment and expend more energy in commenting on it, then you are the m0r0n.

any comment you dont fancy, you ignore completely that's what sane people do.

*** Signs Of Immaturity In Marriage: FOR MEN ***

1) Rejecting food wen there's an issue:

Oga husband, you gave your wife money for food and after it was prepared you refuse to eat because you dey vex. Its one of the greatest signs of
immaturity, its time to grow up! You should not even abandon your home for any reason, you could go somewhere wen angry but ensure that you don't allow it 2 linger unnecessarily because dat is enough for the devil to build on.

2) Telling your wife severally that you are the head:

May I let you know that even when your wife disobeys/ disrespect you she
still knows that you are the head. Yu need not shout or scream it daily. Its important for you to know when and how to be firm and put yur feet down over issues, however don't become a nagging husband just to prove that you are the head.

3) Issuing threats:

Beating, verbally abusing your wife, issuing threats of divorce or bragging abt marrying another wife does not make you a man. Your strength is in your ability to tame your tongue and control your fist. When she is acting her "childish woman" part, play the "matured man."

4) Reporting your wife to friends and family:

Wen yur wife offends, correct and talk things through. You don't have to tell everyone about her mistakes, that will paint her black nd sell her cheap such that you will not be able to redeem her back. It is also out of place for any man to love his mother more than his wife and kids, doing this only sets up your home for crisis.

5) Competition:

Have you seen couples who compete with each other over material acquisitions? Their properties and investments are always in separate names.
As the wife borrows to buy a Ferrari, the husband is running after a bugatti. How childish can we be? This also leads to insecurity, jealousy and inferiority/
superiority complex. Please let's check ourselves and work as a team
do you prefer to be beaten black and blue to the points above? truth is; some women don't deserve to be treated nicely, study your partner and utilize every method that bring results.
Do you think that a matured woman will do what will make a man to exhibit the traits above? if the OP is a woman, so you want to be misbehaving at home while your hubby claps for you?
call it immaturity or anything so long as it brings results, it remains a viable tool, if it is not ok by the OP, kindly relocate to your father's hut.

Irrespective of how engaging and sometimes utter trash soo many of them sounded , I wud want to draw one thing here : It seems most of these Americana ( in the voice of Chimamanda Adichie ) looks at Nigeria as a shithole where one cant make it.

I beleive Nelly on the fact that u dont pray to God to come do what ur supposed to do for ursef, like praying for light to be restored.But denigrating the entire citizens for how Nigeria is is utter rubbish.

Career › Re: Qa?qc Engineer by jpphilips(m): 1:59pm On Nov 05, 2013
A degree or post-secondary diploma in a relevant field is an important prerequisite for most quality control and inspection roles. Consider fields such as engineering, petroleum technology, health, safety and environmental sciences.

In many cases, individuals begin their work in some other occupation, like engineering, and move into these jobs after gaining an in-depth understanding of the business. Others may decide that this is their primary interest area and look for entry-level jobs in specialized quality control and inspection companies.

Certifications pertaining to boilers and pressure vessels, non-destructive testing or welding inspection are often required for those specializations. Some jobs may require certification in confined space entry. A valid driver's license along with a safe driving record is also needed.
