Welcome to Nigerian Politics 101 - No permanent friends, No permanent enemies...

Maybe because the South-East is predominantly catholic, I guess. More are likely to be Priests and Nuns than Pentecostal.

Nodogragra4me:
It is this mindset that makes it impossible to have a true meaga church manned by my own Igbo brothers.


We tend to think benefit even before we see any reasonable success.


Why is the Apostolic mantle always on persons from the South west, honest heart.

All these one na yarns.

His son will still take over.

But mehn Abioye has been a loyal 2nd in command for years.

Maybe it will be a joint-ownership.

But then, you can't have two captains on a multi-billiona Naira business.

DEM-O-CRAZY in ACTION.

Look at how you are shifting the goal post mid-match.

1. You can't take a person to court, out of thin air without a law backing the lawsuit. The lawsuit is based on the law.

2. Looking at your initial post, you call the government "bloody terrorist government", yet you are supporting the businesses that are taking advantage of a pandemic to increase their prices ?! (Wonderful !) You will be the first to call for their heads when your favorite brand's prices are suddenly hiked up to price levels that you can't afford because there is a monopoly in the selling of such a brand. You will love capitalism until you when you suddenly can't afford things and that is why the Government steps in to regulate the market, to prevent monopolies and price gouging.

3. Monopoly encourages price gouging, and for the US to have laws against Monopolies, it means that the US does not view price gouging favorably, hence the lawsuits - THE US MAN IS NOT BEING SUED FOR BEING A MONOPOLY BUT FOR PRICE GOUGING.

4. The End.

Openbusiness:
Oga in America anybody can sue anybody for anything at any time to court. Abeg show me proof of conviction by the court. There can never be a conviction. And the reason why this man's case was taken up is because he bought all the sanitizers in all the supermarkets in Tennessee, so he was the only person left that had sanitizer to sell. So indirectly or directly people in his area didn't have a choice or alternative, so he created a monopoly of sales for himself with unfair advantage, and this will be where his fault lies, not the price of his goods, and US Govt always has laws against monopoly, because capitalism is against monopoly, socialism favors monopoly.

Openbusiness:
That can only be a lie! Where's your proof abeg. No time for fake stories here. And another thing is, taken to court doesn't equate to being guilty. Even the US President Trump, as president, has been taken to court many times since he became President. You can never be charged guilty in a USA court for selling goods at your price. Did you force anyone to buy, did you put gun on their head to buy? No! Unless you commit a crime like selling a product prohibited by govt or selling goods on false claims, misrepresentation or fake goods, mehn forgerrit, all business is business for America

They would have to show evidence that they bought those goods during the pandemic, and not before. There's no moral justification for increasing prices during a pandemic. The lust for huge profits is responsible for this disgusting act.

GboyegaD:
Whilst it is unfair to hike prices and exploit customers, it night be difficult to find them guilty because they could have bought same product for very high prices since the middlemen in Nigeria is a long one.

More so, it is a case of the market determining prices and for a country with no regulations, do we blame people who take advantage of the failed system?

Rather than waste time, they should appeal to government to put proper regulations in place that would rule both the rich and the poor.

A man was taken to court in the US for this same action, is the US now a socialist country ?

Openbusiness:
Crime how? It can never be a crime in a capitalist economy, which is what Nigeria is. It can only be a crime to a terrorist socialist government which this wicked government behaves like. That's 50 Cent hand sanitizer below, just 163ml only, costs about N3,200. So if I buy and import it, pay shipping, pay clearing, and this same useless government will still collect duty tax on it, and then I put it for sale at N12k, so this useless agency will now say they want to prosecute kwa? Thunder fire all una

A man did the same thing in the US, and he was taken to court - unless the US is no longer a capitalist country...

Openbusiness:
The government must be mad. Did they put gun on their head to buy? Is Nigeria not a capitalist country, or are we running a socialist government? How can you prosecute a business for selling its own product at its own price based on the number 1 fundamental law of business economics: the laws of demand and supply This Borrowhari government is just a disaster by all measurements. Russia and Saudi produce crude oil at $2 - $3 per barrel, yet this useless Borrowhari government produce their own at over $20 per barrel. But these bloody thieves didn't prosecute themselves, it is sanitizer seller that used his money, tools and time to produce and fix his price they want to prosecute, as if na their papa moni those businesses take buy market. Bloody terrorist government

Looool these people ! the only country that exists online.

The North is not your enemy, it is your neighbor! Don't be intimidated, stand for your rights.

LOOOL AFTER SENDING THEIR WIVES TO DUBAI....WHY WON'T THEY CLEAR HIM.

EGUNGU BE CAREFUL NA EXPRESS YOU DEY GO !

They're all a bunch of hypocrites.

While you fight, they wine and dine. Continu.

PDP "COMES HARD" ahahan I thought coming was pleasurable, why is PDP "COMING HARD"....

State judiciary: Oin ! You are doing well ! Fantabulous !

Imperial Governors: We fight this in court !

Hisss!

Looool Madam is preparing for the leaking tsunami that's about to hit her. By the way this memo was also leaked, no one likes her in that office.

Is it me or are the women in this government have more balls than the men ? Trump won because he was unconventional for example, if you know what that Sheikh was trying to do, you will understand why she had break the proverbial bottle on his head via Twitter, leave all this decorum.

Simple. I told the ghost to bring its own contribution for the rent, service charge and one or two things needed to make the house conducive - IT just hissed , called me stingy and packed out saying "In saner climes, you will be afraid of me, but here we are in Nigeria, no sense of fear for the death. I don't know what's going sef! Be like say I go japa go Canada."....and that was the end of the parasitic ghost living in my apartment.

Try it, it works.

Cloud699999:
Good morning Nairalander,

It all started Last week When a neighbor next to my apartment died without nobody noticing for 2 days until she started smelling. We didn't actually suspect that it was from her room until someone came looking for her because she wasn't answering her phone, which was still ringing inside and the door was locked from the inside that was how we knew she was dead, already swollen because the last time we saw was Sunday night and we didn't know untill Tuesday that she was dead.

All this happened last week. Later that Tueday family and friends with police came to evacuate her corpse. No foul play or any struggle seems she died in her sleep. She was young and a very playful lady and lively. She is 36 years old single mother and she lives.

So the haunting started 2 days later. The First one happened around 2am, My girlfriend said she saw someone looking like standing by the door outside just staring straight at her, there was no light and the window was open, so when she pointed torch light she saw nothing but when she switch the torch light, she saw the shadow of the same person. That really scared shit out of me because she later told me in the morning.

The second was last night. Someone was banging seriously on the toilet window because it's an iron window. The banging continue for almost 3hours. It was double banging as if someone was knocking hard. I doubt it was someone when I try I check I couldn't find anyone there, few minute later the banging continue till around 4.30am when mosque call out for prayer. And I could here some here some sound like someone walking in the next room where she died, no one was home. Her sister refuse to sleep in the room so it was locked.

Please help, how can I get rid of this unwanted disturbances. I don't know what to do. This last night scare me to the bone. The funniest thing. No one heard this banging except me. The other neighbors have different theory.

Anyone experience this kind of thing before? How did you handle it?

THERE WILL BE THREE SERVICES AT LIVING FAITH CHURCH, GOSHEN, NASSSARAWA STATE
TIME: 7AM, 8:45AM AND 10AM

I guess they are northerners too, so they are not even going to obey the guidelines for safe worship services.

Millenniumlady:
It's a nice deal but the problem here is....Are the northerners willing to comply with this new rules Y'all saw what happened in kastina where a police station was burned down simply because they urge them to obverse social distancing/sit at home some illiterate went about saying they're stopping them from praying to their GOD the best people to make this orders effective are the emirs.

The father was very wise. The idiot son proved why his brother was much more trustworthy.

Nice one. But no healing ? even sinners are donating foodstuffs, what is needed is healing, abi ?

This is the most important reason why you should go to Canada - "I am academically inclined"

Please go to a place where your passion, is appreciated and rewarded.

TallNigerian:
Hello Nairalanders,

I will be 30 years in a few months and I have never felt so much unease as I do right now. I work with one of the federal parastatals and I am currently on level 10 going to 12 next year. I have a Master degree athough it is not exactly relevant to my current job.

The problem is that my organisation uses the Ministry salary structure and my monthly net is below 80k even as a level 10 staff.

I am not married and I am academically inclined. Asides having a Master degree, I have over 8 professional certifications.

I have been trying to clinch a transfer of service to a better parastatal where the remuneration is better and where my knowledge/experiences as a science graduate will be better appreciated but it has been a bit difficult.

However, just before the COVID-19 episode in Nigeria, I got the right link for a transfer of service to a better parastatal but the process got stalled with the COVID-19 palaver.

I have 4 siblings who are Canadian citizens and they have been on my neck to migrate. I never took the calls seriously until this lockdown period. My siblings are arguing about the uncertainty of the Nigerian economy post-covid and advising me to seize this opportunity to migrate and start a new career over there?

My question therefore, "is it wise to stay back since I have gone quite far in my public service career and just wait for the opportunity to transfer my service to a better paying federal parastatal OR do I migrate to Canada and start a new career?

Your honest inputs will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

@CrazyMan @1forall Please I need your help in pushing this forward for a wider view. Thank you.

First of all, what are her stats - front and back, facial...

Modesthy:
I had a good uncle who passed away three years ago. His wife morned him for one year. I lived with that my uncle until I got married and parked to my own house.

I use to visit the house sometimes. After the mourning, his wife called me and told me that I should give her more children. She has only one male child. I refused. But She said I should do it for her because she doesn't want children outside the family because she loved my uncle and our family and that she can't continue to stay with only one child.

I'm completely confused. First I'm married doing that is infidelity, sencondly, the uncle was like a father to me before his death. And I see it as a big sin.

Please somebody should help me, what do I do here? How do I handle this issue? Thanks for your candid advice.

If you have not noticed, it seems like women are fed up with their husbands. I have been reading of stabbings and killings.
