OP, you are thinking with your penis

Fake story.. This picture has been circulating since

I'll never support giving the Federal govt land for anything. They should invest in the private sectorsector and put proper regulations in place .. Government is never reliable. Just the right monetary stimulation will bring on an agricultural revolution.

Echefu... The irony..

Hi guys, so a funny thing happened to me yesterday and I'm sure several of you might have experienced the same either online or at a physical shop or supermarket.

I was browsing through one of the biggest online mobile phone retailers in Nigeria when I came across the deal of a lifetime on a Sony Xperia z3. N20,000 only. Had it been any other online store, I would have overlooked this deal as a sham but this particular retailer is trusted nationwide. I put down an order for one unit immediately. I received an email a few minutes later confirming my order with the same N20,000 indicated.

I was already planning on how to wrap this perfect Christmas gift for my loved one when, to my utter dismay, I received a call from the retailer informing me that the actual price of the phone was N120,000. I quickly refreshed the page on their website and found out they had corrected their error. Of course I immediately cancelled my order. Luckily it was "pay on delivery" so I didn't have to go through the long process of applying to get my money back.

I have read articles on similar errors made in developed countries where the retailers were required to go through with the deals as long as a deal had been struck.

My question is this..

When you catch a typographical error in an online store or even a supermarket or any service for that matter which obviously cheats the seller out of his own money do you think we as Nigerians have any standing to force the seller into going through with the deal?

What would you do?

Lol.

It's been obvious for a while. There is no basis behind the numbers. People just make rough estimates based on last year and capital projects which have the numbers already written down.. No research into maintenance or even implementation of fiscal policies via the budget to stimulate the economy.. They have no ideaidea what the far reaching implications are of spending too much or too little in certain areas. No communication between relevant sectors.

Early man

Reportersgame:
So is Dasuki innocent?

He is innocent until proven guilty in the court of law

Cool

MindTwister:
Dokpesi - 400M bail

Dasuki my guy - 250M bail.

Amongst even choppers, there are levels.

Shouldn't the Chief Donor be the highest bidder'?

Buhari I will continue to support you regardless of what the enemy tries to do or say. You are a great man. You just no get the liver wey we think say you get.

I'm the Mind Twitter.

I don't think that's how it's done.. Maybe it's more a function of your estimated worth because if you charge bail based on money alleged to be stolen you are concluding the accused is guilty before trial..

If you the person has been wrongly accused and it's discovered he isn't guilty how can you account for charging bail that the innocent person can't pay?

Lol. Since when does the buyer pay withholding tax on the house she's purchasing..

I even had to Google withholding tax to make sure my head was correct

Fake news

All my favourite foods lol

Nice, NTA and AIT Oya come and show us your video evidence..

If you don't have any, you shouldn't even be considered journalists

OP what I see here is your argument hinges on the fact that caverton never purchased the helicopters.. You haven't provided proof that the helicopters weren't purchased by caverton then bought back by the government.. All i see is an accusation from Sahara reporters... No proof..

Nawa

again

Uhm... It says petition. So what's all the fracas

Is social media a legal form of petition?

Oscar Pistorius' conviction for killing his girlfriend has been changed from manslaughter to murder.

An appeals judge said the original verdict was "flawed" and the athlete will now be re-sentenced by the original court and will almost certainly go back to jail

A murder conviction carries a much heftier sentence: a minimum of 15 years in South Africa.

Justice Leach said Pistorius must have foreseen that firing into the small toilet cubicle would have led to death - but went ahead anyway.


Reeva Steenkamp's mother, June, closed her eyes but remained silent as the decision was read out in the Bloemfontein court.

The athlete is currently under house arrest at his uncle's luxurious home in Pretoria after serving less than a year for killing his girlfriend on Valentine's Day 2013.

Pistorius had said he accidentally shot dead his girlfriend after believing there was an intruder in his house.

Ambode, Give that boy scholarship




On a serious note, well done to the pilot.. Sharp thinking there..

As for the airport authorities thank God you caught him but he should not have made it that far in the first place.. Too many stories of people invading the tarmac.. This is a very very sensitive period as regards national security and it's quite appalling a man could make it all the way to a departing aircraft without being spotted.

Lol .all these lanky guys that refuse to hit the gym
Na ordinary breeze dey blow u

Erm the same breeze that lifting a 50 ton plane plus 100 + passengers out of the sky ba?

Lmao

Stupidity from the house... How can you impeach someone for representing his political party

How does that even make sense..

This can actually be seen as a great opportunity...

One of the best methods to kick-start an economy is to fund public projects which can put income into the hands of Nigerians who can maximise multiplier effect. Put money into the hands of those at the grassroots willing to spend naira on domestic goods.. It's really simple. Take a cue from the 2008 US financial crisis..part of the US solution was funding public projects.. Building bridges, railroads etc.

That's how fiscal policy works

Benefits of public projects is not just practical viability.. It's also a means to protect the economy by balancing spending power of the common Nigerian citizen. We need cashcash in-house to keep this economy going. It's not by just fixing interbank rates and banning foreign trade. Attack the problem from all sides please!

Buhari needs to take this opportunity. Source out those projects and reboot them..

If the government wants to keep its hold on Nigerias main source of revenue it needs to realise that it has a responsibility to put citizens of this country to productive use at every opportunity.

Nigeria.. We always like to take our things to the next level.. You can't even tell what is true anymore..

As if democracy and truth are mutually exclusive in this country

Sometimes you wonder if the cost of making money in Nigeria is too great..

Even when you want to conduct legitimate business someone will come from nowhere and pour sand in your garri..

And they are all smiling churchgoers you'd assume can't hurt a fly.

But this sounds like a lie..

No way the news would not have got out that a plane made an emergency landing on an international runway with 2 burst tires... The pyrotechnics would have been spectacular or at least smokey

The pilot told the passengers they could have caught fire? Seriously? That's quite irresponsible of him to cause further panic and unrest for the passengers.. Silly rookie mistake for someone experienced enough to land with one engine and a burst tire

The passengers got off the aircraftaircraft and immediately went to PAY for another flight when obviously Arik will either refund them or get another flight ready? Na Richard Branson and Dangote full flight?
