policy combo that made the masses canon fodder for the ineptitude of your party's decades of rot.


“These actions blocked the greed and the profits that smugglers and rent-seekers made.
Yet the corrupt still enjoy massive windfalls of your chameleonic policies.

They also blocked the undue subsidies we had extended to our neighbouring countries to the detriment of our people, rendering our economy prostrate.

But these same countries now have currencies that have improved and almost equal to greater to the naira already

“This has given us more financial freedom and the room to spend more money on you, our citizens, to fund essential social services like education and healthcare.
It's basic needs of affordable food and transportation we need. Healthcare is till comatose and treatment beyond the reach of the common man.

3. INFRASTRUCTURE
“We have also embarked on major infrastructure projects across the country.
Just like the VP's residence and private jets.

4. OIL AND GAS
“Our once-declining oil and gas industry is experiencing a resurgence on the back of the reforms I announced in May 2024
An industry that still remains one of the most opaque and corrupt yet it's personnel who have been at it's helm of affairs for years remain untouchable

“We have started the distribution of conversion kits and setting up of conversion centres across the country
When? With 2 major partners and less than 8 out of 36 states?

5. EDUCATION

Carrot and stick. Hike tuition and then give loans

6. GRANTS
“Payments of N1billion each are also being made to large manufacturers under our single-digit loans to boost manufacturing output and stimulate growth.”
Why are big manufacturers then packing up?

7. MINIMUM WAGE
“I signed the National Minimum Wage into law last week, and the lowest-earning workers will now earn at least N70,000 a month.”
Good one at least

8. AGRICULTURE
“ import duties should be removed on rice, wheat, maize, sorghum, drugs, and other pharmaceutical and medical supplies for the next 6 months.”
We never see results
we have also ordered mechanized farming equipment such as tractors and planters, worth billions of Naira from the United States, Belarus, and Brazil. I can confirm to you that the equipment is on the way.”
When we are already in mid season. huh

9. #EndBadGovernance Protests
“But we must not let violence and destruction tear our nation apart."
True

10. SECURITY/PEACE
“Security operatives should continue to maintain peace, law, and order in our country ”
Perhaps consider prioritizing the dark horses from the North who are hindering our farmers from cultivating in peace.

PhonesRe: I Think I Have Been Scammed, What Do I Do? by laivwire(m):
Of course they prefer commerical banks because they have ready made templates designed. They would send you the screenshot on WhatsApp.

This trick has been played on someone I know. The buyer sent someone to pick the phone for him. The "someone" presumably came from very far away and was in a rush to collect the phone so he can start his journey back home.

The scammer buyer said he has transferred the money and sent screenshots. I told my friend to go and withdraw from POS and confirm the deposit has actually reflected but it hadn't.

Can you believe both buyer and seller were in a stalemate for over 3 hours at the meetup point? He said she can't leave as he has paid, she said she hasn't seen the deposit in her account and can't drop the phone. He sent another alert saying it's possible the bank has issues and when she sees the extra money, she should refund him.

Too many psychological tricks being played. He expected she would give him the phone so she won't keep him waiting. If not for my insistence she would have dropped that phone.

He eventually left without the phone and upon closer scrutiny of the debit alert he sent, I spotted several typographical errors.

Next time, shine your eyes
FamilyRe: I Thought I Could Change Him To Be A Better Man by laivwire(m): 8:18am On Jul 30, 2024
[quote author=Diamond1605 post=131217011][/quote]Even if my ways are not pure, I won't let it get to the notice of my nuclear family. Engaging in all these vices despite you catching him in them all is a clear definition of see finish.

All your efforts at reconciling him to the right path will be discounted because he has no fear for you in his heart anymore. Only a superior force can reset him. Something like a court case, misfortune or his genuine will to change. Other than that, it's going to be a grappling battle.

Your priority at this point is to protect yourself from assault, abuse, STDs and bankruptcy to avoid untold sorrow. You can do that by ensuring your physical self and finances are protected even if it means separating.

At the end, we all came to this world individually and are each accountable for our actions.
PropertiesRe: Why Did Nigerians Stop Using Louvers Windows by laivwire(m): 2:11pm On Jul 28, 2024
rebelng:
I found myself asking this very same question today and looking at the silly responses on here affirm my position that we have a culture problem in this country. We consistently put aesthetics over practicality with everyone wanting to be on the new fad.

Louvers are without a doubt the best window style for any practical application in this climate.

1. Ventilation.
2. Privacy
3. Usability in the rain
4. Cost.

The only area where they fall short is sound proofing and even there, they are still better than sliding windows which have become the norm for budget builds.
Honestly, my family house still has louvres but they are old and badly done. The glass panes were roughly cut so they can cut your fingers if you hold them. The frames are also light and are rusty. They bend and usually let the glass pane slide out which can be harmful.

I plan to refurbish the house this year and still use louvres. There are some louvres I have come across in Europe, so smooth you won't hear any squeaks, the louvre edges are finely finshed you can rub your palms across them. They are also thick and clear, tightly held within the louvre handles and can close shut with no gaps.

I know someonw whould actually still sell high quality glass louvres and frames in Nigeria and I wish I can get that quality. if not, I intend to import them. The house is where I spent my childhood and won't trade it or change much about it for anything. It brings fond memories.

TravelRe: I Was A Victim Of Subtle Racism In My Workplace Today by laivwire(m): 7:35am On Jul 24, 2024
You should know how things do not go by the books in situations like this. I learned myself in similar circumstances.

If you don't have hard evidence, you better die the case except you want more trouble than you can handle. That's if contrary motions are not already in play.

The last person you want to cross paths with is a white girl in your workplace who dislikes you. Better believe that she has had lengthy conversations with all the judges who are going to preside over your case ahead of of your trial.

You're a minority, your African colleague is wiser in that respect. The segregation is systemic just so you don't have evidence. You better learn the game to win the game.

chiiraq802:
But why NPF dey always like to naked there dead body. anybody get cluehuh lols
Many times the bodies are dragged on and off the police truck during recovery and parade. For a dead body that's not responding, the clothes simply drag off. They also search for extra ammunition and I think possibly expose the body for evidence of wounds, tattoos. A guess

It's worse with the terrorists where bodies are h3adsh0t or decapitated to confirm they are truly dead. The bodies are also mutilated to shame them for their beliefs of the afterlife.

You would think western countries don't but we never know. They only ensure graphic images like these do not hit main stream media. We are largely desensitized in Nigeria with the graphic content we come across on a daily.

Did you import yourself or you got hired as a sales rep?

Either ways, the business is messed up already if you're asking for how to sell that magnitude of products on nairaland.

I wonder why people would make business investments without any sales or marketing plan. You would either sell in trickles or get low-balled.

If NYSC allowance increases to 70k, it will be a big disgrace to employees like private school teachers and those who work in one-man businesses. Just imagine a youth corp member earning 70k while you earn 30k or 40k. There is no dignity in poverty.

HealthRe: The Horrors I Experienced With Unprotected S*x With A Single Mom by laivwire(m): 11:02pm On Jul 18, 2024
You fell into her trap unfortunately and she's milking you. There are better ways to handle this next time.

Take her to the hospital and confirm the test or procedure is legit. Now that you have paid her off for the "fake" pregnancy, cut off all communication with her because she's only looking for who would shoulder responsibilities. Tell her outright you don't want to have anything to do with her again. Call her bluff if she calls you for any additional money. It's all a ruse.

What are you even doing with a single mom for goodness sake? That category of women are snakes, cunning and dubious.

Very likely.

They could have used non-lethal ammunition. Low caliber.

There's a large percentage of Americans who were never in the military but can shoot ridiculously well because of their gun obsession.

Truth is; the failed assassination attempt is a huge boost to Trump's chances in the elections.

Yes the killer and an innocent died, but what's the worth of their lives when the stakes are that high?

This pose .... is a killer one.👌
What is non lethal about a flying bullet? Shooting blanks at close range alone is enough to cause brain damage.

One person can cultivate 500 hectares
For real. The average farm size for smaller scale arable farmers in Belgium is around 120 hectares. You'd see a thousand hectare farm being managed by a team of five people. cheesy

Very early so I meet the retailers before customers start coming. They rush you as soon as you get to the market and you can sell from 5 cobs per transaction to a full bag. It's brisk business as long as your cobs are good.

flokii:
Go into agriculture and agri-business this man.. there are opportunities in the African market and you can export goods to other African countries (about 54 countries) under African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA)..

You people should jettison this yeye japa mentality and start looking inward.. The Lebanese, Chinese and whatnot are investing big right here in Nigeria and are cashing out big time, why can't Nigerians invest same way or even on larger scale in Nigeria?
It's because the Asians have massive financial backing besides the Nigerian business ecosystem is never straight forward or stable. So many mitigations and extortions you can't even predict to a good probability how your business quarter will turn out.

Rather than invest in agribusiness on Nigeria, I'd rather go do my farming in Ivory coast, Ghana or Cameroun.

Many south African countries are so poor as well making them viable for cheap labour and availability of better farm input, labour and export policies. All you need is good capital.

Do you know what's 30% profit per annum within one year of investment? And you say it's actually low? So, what sort of investment generates say 50% within a year of investing?

I'm genuinely curious.
Passive investments definitely do not clock that rate. I'm talking about active business ventures and I cited the car business for reference. Of course there's a lot more businesses that push same returns or more if managed well.
RomanceRe: I Can Raise 50m Naira Should I Stay In Nigeria And Start A Business Or Japa? by laivwire(m):
Its been mentioned severally, if you plan to japa, be sure to have way to make legit money when you get there. You dont need up to 50m for that.

With 50m though, I'd stay in Nigeria and run a business in a field I'm expert in. Even if I'm able to make just 30% as profit in a year (quite low actually), I'd live better than an hustler abroad.

Buy 3 cars at #7m each, put a margin of #1m on every car and give yourself 3 months to sell them all off. Thats #1m per month for you without doing care job.
