Hmm.. Convicted former Delta state governor, James Ibori, received a hero's welcome as he arrived his country home in Oghara, his hometown in Delta state this afternoon.Some policemen also joined in the jubilation.

When you see Policeman celebrating someone's release from jail........ then you should know this is a high-profile Criminal!.

I looked again and l see more than 3 Generators of the same types there!
They also look very dusty like they are being used in a construction site?

Used for just one year? I doubt that except if it was used by a Construction Company in which case, that explains its current look/state.

My position above still stands.
Calculated risk.....lower the price

back2sender:
Please i need my people help here. The attached pictures is a generator for sale by my Neighbour in abuja who moved to a new apartment with a big generator for the whole block of flats. This is the reason for the sale.
The selling price is 100, 000. Is this a good buy for a generator of this size? Generator has been used for 1year and still works well.
Last page your expertise is needed here because you have a flair for electricals and computers. Copacetic and others too comments are welcome.

First,
Go to where they sell generator and 'price' a brand new one of the same type and Model.
Using "depreciation", this generator should have depreciated by at least 35%, taking an average life span of 4yrs for a "Nigerian used" Generator (average! because our weather sef fit reduce life span by another 20% extra! ).

Thus, if the price of a new one is say 175,000 and this is on offer for 100,000 (rough figures), it MAY BE its good a buy.
(Try and see if you can do some "hard bargain" with the seller to knock down 10K from the offered price).

Now, l used "MAY BE" in my last paragraph! the reason is that some items carry an even much more greater risk, with use/age/time.
Generator is one of them. Parts like the Coil, Engine Block, Carburetor, Ball bearings, e.t.c all wear with age and are not very visible until the day they pack up! I mean, a Generator might be working fine TODAY and you will have to spend 40,000 on it, next week, when it packs up!

Secondly, you did not give us the "specifications" of the Generator (Power rating Specs, KWh, HP, e.t.c). It is difficult to quantify what it is worth in the open market, without those specs

Except it is coming very, very cheap (as in dirt cheap), l always advice against buying second hand items that are over 20K. (because for that amount, you can afford to take exceptional risk and if it back-fire, you simply count your losses! and move-on )

I notice it is Hyundai which makes it an OEM product..........as against those China-pirated "do Nigerian Standard" for us things!
That is another "plus" for the Generator.

Bottom-line: Beat down the price (flash cash, complain about not able to get parts easily for the brand, say it s a very great risk as noone can say something is not "about to" pafuka inside! use all the bargaining gimmicks in your bag to reduce your risk to a manageable levl such that by the time you use it and it starts showing color..... you would have got your money's worth from it).

My instincts tell me it would be a good buy, if you can achieve a lower price.... in this recession!

Just my ten cents.

Ehhn! These Yiibos will never let Yorubas be!

So, "Idibia" from the middle belt has suddenly become a Yoruba person?

So many people have asked: Why is it that any problem that Yiibos have, they simply blame it on Yorubas?
*If Nnamdi Kanu is arrested by a Fulani-led Buhari Govt, IPODs will go about venting on Yorubas!
*If Owerri is engulfed by Flood, 'Ipod Yoots" will start shouting "Yoruba Oooo"
*If the Roads in the East is not tarred..... na Yoruba cause am

Every problem that Yiibos have ever had, is always attributed to Yorubas!
Could it be that despite all the "chest-beating" on the surface..... the Yiibos have a morbid and deep seated FEAR of the Yorubas?
I am just wondering nii o!

Otherwise, why do they have these brain-wave that makes them blame Yoruba for everything!
Even Benue Boy like TuFace was prevailed upon by his own Mother, not to embark on any foolish protest.... and a lot of the comments l am reading here simply switched to abusing Yorubas!

Chai! Dearis God Ooo

I dont need to remind any Flatinosis-headed IPod that HISTORY has "shown and proved" that chest-thumping like a Gorrilla, boasting and self-elevation beyond REALITY has only brought them shame, failure and disgrace!

For example, Show Bravery in WAR, Yiibos were thoroughly trashed and have to surrender their Baifraud Flag to a Yoruba General (OBJ)...while their own General ran-away to Ivory Coast, dressed like prostitute!
Another recent example is that o their "Mazi", Mr. Nnamdi kanu a.k.a "Dilector" who 'boasted and chest-beat' .... only to end-up eating sand-mixed, half-cooked beans in Kudje Prison, as l am eating correct breakfast this morning!

And all of you "brave" Yiibos and IPAD Yoots that love to abuse Yorubas could not prove your bravery by storming the prison and releasing him?
Where is your Bravery when it is needed...... or does it end only at abusing "Afonjas" online?

Just think about this: Of what use is a so-called bravery (chest-beating and insulting other tribes) when you are perpetually a 4th Class citizen, can achieve your aims, always begging to be "freed", while the arrow-head of your struggle languishes in Jail?

Issokay O! Kwantinue, una hear!

The value of a "Good Parent", especially a Mother, can not be over-emphasised!
Thank God that 2Baba still had a mother, an educated Mother for that matter!

Below is my post some days ago, on this protest matter by TuFace.

[quote author=Lastpage! ]First, We must ask you (and people like 2Face and other Protesters): WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A PROTEST?
- Generally, 'Protests' are meant to draw attention to an issue that "all other means have FAILED" to draw attention to.
- It is also assumed, in staging a Protest, that the target has the means and capacity to take the desired action but REFUSED to do so, hence the use of a Protest, to force the target to act as desired.
- It is a "last resort" action to make the 'target' (Govt in this case) act in a desired manner.

Having said the above, Let me ask:[/b]
1.) What is this 2Faced Protest meant to address? What issue?
Maybe you would tell me it is meant to address Hunger, maybe Exchange Rate of the Naira, maybe Price of commodities, e.t.c

2.) The target here is the Buhari govt... and Buhari in particular as most of the vitrol has been directed at him!
Putting these together, l want to ask: Has the President the "capacity and means" to do otherwise than he is doing now.... and REFUSED to do so?
3.) What exactly are we expecting the Govt to do, say for example, on the Exchange rate of the Naira to the Dollar, which most of us are blaming for the high price of everything, even unrelated things that are locally produced and have no single "forex" input?

*Can ...and should Buhari fix a specific and arbitrary low value for the exchange rate?

* Do these protesters not understand that the exchange rate of the Naira is a function of "How much foreign exchange we EARN via "EXPORTS/SALES" (be it for crude Oil which accounts for over 70% of such forex receipts or other products like Cocoa, Minerals, e.t.c) ...divided by How much we SPEND on foreign IMPORTS/PURCHASES from abroad?

* Are the protesters ignorant of the fact that in the last twenty one months or so of this administration, our major forex earner accounting for over 70% of our Dollar-accruals, has gone down/depreciated by as much as 80%? That Crude has for the most part of the last twenty months sold at an average of $23-$30 thus, Nigerias receipts of forex has so dwindled that Dollars has become very scarce!

* Are the protesters not aware or are they just "ignorant pawns" in this chess game of political propaganda by sore losers, that since our Dollars receipts are down (while our penchant for "anything foreign" is unabated), such demand for more Dollars to finance such desire for imports, is the one putting pressure on the naira because we are not earning enough Dollars to back-up such demand?

*Are they not aware that since we are virtually not manufacturing anything locally, and we want virtually everything made abroad, the importers have to pay a very high premium to get such Dollars to fund their import and as such, pass-on the added cost to the buyers and eventual consumers .... hence the high cost of goods and services we are experiencing now?

So, How can Buhari "affect" the exchange rate or how is it possible for him to "magically force the exchange rate down" to a lower value?
What exactly can Buhari do about it, in the SHORT RUN?

If the President does not have the "means and capacity" to fix the exchange rate, then what is the protest against him going to achieve?
if the President has not REFUSED to act, for something that he has no control over, then what is the morals of protesting against him.... if not just out of IGNORANCE, MISCHIEF or a combination of both?

This is why l said a lot of Nigerians need to be educated so that they dont "act in ignorance"!

I am aware that the President has taken "medium and long term" measures to address this Dollar shortages, by ensuring that we are no longer a "one-product" economy that depends only on crude Oil for its receipts of Dollars.

The President has diversified into solid minerals, he is revamping textile industry, he has invested massively in Rice production (a large consumer of our meagre Dollars), he has done everything to encourage jobless youths to take to agriculture by giving them massive loans that are nto even collateralised (but at almost 0% interest rate!), he is encouraging us to "buy made in Nigeria", he is spending heavily on transportation like Rails, Roads, Shipping, Dry Ports and other infrastructures.

This President has tried seriously, for the first time in a long time, to ensure that there is probity and less waste (stealing) wuthin Govt agencies and Parastatals by asking all of them to embrace the TSA! He has disbursed some of the "recovered loot" to state Gpvernments to pay backlog of owed salaries and pensions (though rogue Governors like Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State prefer not to pay or pay a pittance and as usual, loot the rest of the funds!).
I can go on and on but one thing is certain: The country is going through a very difficult period while the President is trying everything humanly possible to address the problems .....Some will take time to yield results while some are just not within the control of the Nigerian Govt (like Price of Crude Oil).

The above brings me to the conclusion that the criteria for a PROTEST as l enumerated earlier (Refusal to address and issue that is within the capacity of the President to change) has not been met.

If the protest was against our national Assembly members who earn take home pay (salaries and allowances) that rank almost a thirty times that of the President of the United States or that of China or Germany or whose monthly allowance is equivalent to a hundred years income of a graduate worker in the civil service, ....l will understand.

If it is against the Petroleum, Electricity and Steel "Cabal" who ensure that our refineries does not work to capacity while their stowed-away in Guinea, Gambia, SaoTome are functioning properly so they can continue to import PMS to us and charge us subsidy or the hooligans that sold our national asset (NEPA) to themselves when they knew they cant make it function to generate electricity that we need or those that destroyed our Steel rolling Mills at Aladja, Ajaokute, Ekpan , e.t.c ...... then it will make sense!

I know 2Baba is a great musician and "father of all nations" with a penchant for sowing his seed wildly but l dont know nor will l give him credit for any "academic, intellectual or cranial ability", as he has not shown any in the past.

Everyone should try to lead by sticking to what they are really competent at and know-best.

This Protest is a completely misguided and mis-directed effort. It is uncalled but if it must happen then it should be directed at where it can be meaningful and produce results.

I love and respect 2face, 2much (for his music) to think he would make himself a tool in the hands of those who are still smarting from their loss in the last Presidential elections and have therefore made it their life-duty to create problems for this administration of Buhari.

That the protest was timed to coincide with when the President would return form his 10-days annual leave... speaks volume!

Idle people who have excess time to play with, should go to the farm instead of creating further nuisance in public space.

But then, it is a Democracy..... and "Demonstration of Craze" is highly allowed!

A Jehovah Witness church member named Peace Euodia has died after she had excess bleeding during childbirth and refused blood transfusion because of her faith.

According to Ossai Ovie:

Why will Jehovah Witness church not allow her to receive blood from someone because of church tradition.

You people and mischief sha!

I am not a JW member but l know a lot of close people that are.

*They dont FORCE their members not to receive blood.... it remains a personal choice.
*She did not die because of not receiving blood.... a lot of people have survived without blood transfusion, she died most likely due to lack of adequate facilities and poor understanding of what it takes to stabilise someone without transfusing blood.
*Thousands of people, everyday, agree to be transfused with blood...... and still die! Do we accuse their church for allowing them take blood?

*Finally, since "transfusing blood" is like "eating/taking blood" (not different from injecting Cocaine, eating food or taking Drip), some people have decided to Obey God's word as stated in the holy Bible: "Thou shall not EAT BLOOD, it is the soul and it belongs to God".

THINK ABOUT IT: Many have, in the "wisdom" of trying to save their own life, decided to disobey God, and taken Blood transfusion.....yet they still died!
Does that not tell you that it is not your decision to take blood, that can saves your life?
But God is sure able, if HE wills, to save your life......and to resurrect you later, if you obey him to the end.

We should all be happy for this woman, who OBEYED GOD TILL THE VERY END!.
Her resurrection don sure pass...what about you?

agreed.
which is why we had a soveriegn national conference under GEJ, which recommended these changes but a group of people came with a mantra of change and the SW which believes these things joined forces with the North with a different belief and they were more comfortable joining with the north than with the south which has similar ideology.

if you think 2015 was a mistake i can assure you that the SW will do it again if given similar options.

even worse, if u have a SE candidate against a Northern candidate and the SE candidate has these southern ideologies u listed, believe me the SW and. . . wait for it. . . . the SS will join forces with the North against the SE who has their own ideologies.

The hatred is real. it goes beyond logic.

*Tell us why GEJ as President, did not IMPLEMENT the recommendations of the National Conference, through-out his 5years as President?

*How can the S/West be comfortable with people who think GEJ is better than slice bread? That Clueless egit who ran Nigeria aground even when Crude was selling at a record high? Are we not paying the price TODAY, for GEJ's profligacy, now that Crude Price has crashed?

*The S/West does not "take important decisions" based on bigotry, religion or any of those "crass sentiments" you IPAD Yoots are yarping about, we look and address issues "OBJECTIVELY"..... and follow our BRAIN!

..... and YES, come 2019, we will vote Sai BaabaAGAIN.. (if his health permits a second term) because we believe he is laying a medium/long term strategy to win Nigeria off its dependency on Crude Oil, restructuring the economy, encouraging and financing Agriculture for food sustenance.....despite all the economic sabotage of you whining Easterners!

#Who_Cursed_Southerners Yiibos?

[s]In this Nigeria, an average Southerner is a weakling. A born coward with serious complex issues. A fool and an idiot. A slave. A typical example of a butterfly who thinks himself a bird. But this is not even the problem. The biggest problem is, he doesn't even realise he is any of those things.

The only thing an average Southerner is good at is blowing high sounding grammar and acquiring degrees upon degrees but when it comes to things that matter most, he goes to slumber.

An average Southerner has this twisted mindset that the best way to be seen as a patriotic and detribalised Nigerian is by degrading, shaming and disparaging his own tribe for no just cause.

Abacha stole this country blind, such that 20 years after, his loot is still being returned to the country. But in spite of this, people like Buhari publicly swore that he (Abacha) stole nothing. But to an average Southern idiot, Jonathan's 5 year rule is the reason we have no fuel, no light, no good educational system, no nothing! Jonathan is the worst thief in Nigeria's history. IBB, Abdulsalam and even Buhari who was accused of stealing billions of dollars as PTF boss were all saints. Why? Because they are Northerners.

Was it not a southern he-goat named Obasanjo who publicly accused Jonathan of training snipers in Pyongyang (North Korea) ahead of last year's election?? He made the unfounded allegation just to please his masters upnorth. Now that we have the highest figure of senseless deaths of civilians in the hands of both state and non state actors under a Northern president Buhari, have you read any letter from OBJ??

When Shiites were massacred in Zaria, it took less than 48 hours for Chidi Odinkalu of the National Human Right Commission to establish a commission of inquiry and summon the army chief but when unarmed IPOB members praying in a school field in Aba were murdered by the security agents, did you hear even a loosely worded condemnation from Chidi Odinkalu??

Check out the list of those asking that Fayose to be tried for treason for writing to the Chinese govt over Buhari's $2 loan, they are 80% southerners. And most of them have not even read the said Fayose letter at least to know the reasons Fayose adduced in the said letter. These are the same fools who kept mum when Sango Abdullahi, Sani Kaita and some so called Northern elders publicly threatened to make the country ungovernable if power wasn't returned to the North. When Buhari made his 'dogs and baboon' speech and directly caused the death of southern youth corpers, these morons kept mum.

With all the numberless killing of civilians under this regime and its open support for the genocide the world fourth deadliest terror group (the Fulani militant) has continue to visit on Nigerians, have these highly educated southerners bothered to write a strongly worded petition to the ICC just like Nyako, El-rufai and other northerners did to Jonathan??

These southern fools will gleefully yell 'Kanu should rot in jail, he was preaching hate on radio Biafra!' But these clowns maintained sealed lips over the hateful and inciting broadcast by 'Radio Chanji' and Arewa Radio upNorth. Such is the degree of the soulless hypocrisy of these southern senseless hypocrites.

These nitwits were on rooftops telling us how incompetent and corrupt Jonathan was and how his removal was a patriotic duty. Today, things have all gone worse under Buhari and you would think that these southern imbeciles would be at the forefront calling for Buhari's resignation but no! They are the ones defending the Daura born ex-soldier even against the worse things for which they crucified Jonathan then.

Now I know why Jonathan appeared weak as president and spent his 5 year term trying to please the North.

He knew he had nobody behind him. He knew that we Southerners are weaklings only good at blowing high sounding but empty grammar.

These 'efulefu' southerners will never question why Buhari has never condemned the murderous activities of his fulani kinsmen but these same 'anumpamas' will read this post and quickly tag me a bigot.

Slaves who think themselves masters!!

She said the girl was not moving while flogging her, that was why she beat her like that. And more so the school hasn't even checked on the student for the past three days, that the incident has occurred.


The teacher is still bent on beating her when she resumes school. We went to report to the proprietress of the school but she showed no concern. We thought they might actually come back later to check on her, but it was negative."

Esteemed ladies and gentlemen of this great forum. This is a thread to gauge the general feeling of the hardworking, tax paying, responsible citizens of our country. Kindly state your own take on the planned protest scheduled for the 6th of February nationwide. State whether or not you believe a protest should be held on the said date and why.

This is my own take.
I work hard everyday to make a living for myself and my family. I pay my taxes to the government of this nation. I fulfil my obligations by obeying all the rules and regulations of this country.

Meanwhile,
Government officials and politicians who are meant to serve me put their needs and desires first before mine. Politicize issues of the economy and security while i now work harder, earn less and spend more to survive. Everyday i am at greater risk of losing my job because of the rapidly decaying economic situation. In all honesty, i have never had it this bad as a Nigerian (i don't even want to start listing the current prices of commodities).

I support the protest against the government of the day because i think enough is enough. Is it a crime to be a citizen of this country?
(Note: I am not protesting against any political party!)

Let me have your own take on this issue with reasons. Please let's have a decent conversation

Lalasticlala kindly assist to move this debate to the promised land?

"SOME" Nigerians like you need to be educated on What is good for them! Strange as that may sound, bu tit is true.

First, We must ask you (and people like 2Face and other Protesters): WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A PROTEST?
- Generally, 'Protests' are meant to draw attention to an issue that "all other means have FAILED" to draw attention to.
- It is also assumed, in staging a Protest, that the target has the means and capacity to take the desired action but REFUSED to do so, hence the use of a Protest, to force the target to act as desired.
- It is a "last resort" action to make the 'target' (Govt in this case) act in a desired manner.

Having said the above, Let me ask:
1.) What is this 2Faced Protest meant to address? What issue?
Maybe you would tell me it is meant to address Hunger, maybe Exchange Rate of the Naira, maybe Price of commodities, e.t.c

2.) The target here is the Buhari govt... and Buhari in particular as most of the vitrol has been directed at him!
Putting these together, l want to ask: Has the President the "capacity and means" to do otherwise than he is doing now.... and REFUSED to do so?
3.) What exactly are we expecting the Govt to do, say for example, on the Exchange rate of the Naira to the Dollar, which most of us are blaming for the high price of everything, even unrelated things that are locally produced and have no single "forex" input?

*Can ...and should Buhari fix a specific and arbitrary low value for the exchange rate?

* Do these protesters not understand that the exchange rate of the Naira is a function of "How much foreign exchange we EARN via "EXPORTS/SALES" (be it for crude Oil which accounts for over 70% of such forex receipts or other products like Cocoa, Minerals, e.t.c) ...divided by How much we SPEND on foreign IMPORTS/PURCHASES from abroad?

* Are the protesters ignorant of the fact that in the last twenty one months or so of this administration, our major forex earner accounting for over 70% of our Dollar-accruals, has gone down/depreciated by as much as 80%? That Crude has for the most part of the last twenty months sold at an average of $23-$30 thus, Nigerias receipts of forex has so dwindled that Dollars has become very scarce!

* Are the protesters not aware or are they just "ignorant pawns" in this chess game of political propaganda by sore losers, that since our Dollars receipts are down (while our penchant for "anything foreign" is unabated), such demand for more Dollars to finance such desire for imports, is the one putting pressure on the naira because we are not earning enough Dollars to back-up such demand?

*Are they not aware that since we are virtually not manufacturing anything locally, and we want virtually everything made abroad, the importers have to pay a very high premium to get such Dollars to fund their import and as such, pass-on the added cost to the buyers and eventual consumers .... hence the high cost of goods and services we are experiencing now?

So, How can Buhari "affect" the exchange rate or how is it possible for him to "magically force the exchange rate down" to a lower value?
What exactly can Buhari do about it, in the SHORT RUN?

If the President does not have the "means and capacity" to fix the exchange rate, then what is the protest against him going to achieve?
if the President has not REFUSED to act, for something that he has no control over, then what is the morals of protesting against him.... if not just out of IGNORANCE, MISCHIEF or a combination of both?

This is why l said a lot of Nigerians need to be educated so that they dont "act in ignorance"!

I am aware that the President has taken "medium and long term" measures to address this Dollar shortages, by ensuring that we are no longer a "one-product" economy that depends only on crude Oil for its receipts of Dollars.

The President has diversified into solid minerals, he is revamping textile industry, he has invested massively in Rice production (a large consumer of our meagre Dollars), he has done everything to encourage jobless youths to take to agriculture by giving them massive loans that are nto even collateralised (but at almost 0% interest rate!), he is encouraging us to "buy made in Nigeria", he is spending heavily on transportation like Rails, Roads, Shipping, Dry Ports and other infrastructures.

This President has tried seriously, for the first time in a long time, to ensure that there is probity and less waste (stealing) wuthin Govt agencies and Parastatals by asking all of them to embrace the TSA! He has disbursed some of the "recovered loot" to state Gpvernments to pay backlog of owed salaries and pensions (though rogue Governors like Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State prefer not to pay or pay a pittance and as usual, loot the rest of the funds!).
I can go on and on but one thing is certain: The country is going through a very difficult period while the President is trying everything humanly possible to address the problems .....Some will take time to yield results while some are just not within the control of the Nigerian Govt (like Price of Crude Oil).

The above brings me to the conclusion that the criteria for a PROTEST as l enumerated earlier (Refusal to address and issue that is within the capacity of the President to change) has not been met.

If the protest was against our national Assembly members who earn take home pay (salaries and allowances) that rank almost a thirty times that of the President of the United States or that of China or Germany or whose monthly allowance is equivalent to a hundred years income of a graduate worker in the civil service, ....l will understand.

If it is against the Petroleum, Electricity and Steel "Cabal" who ensure that our refineries does not work to capacity while their stowed-away in Guinea, Gambia, SaoTome are functioning properly so they can continue to import PMS to us and charge us subsidy or the hooligans that sold our national asset (NEPA) to themselves when they knew they cant make it function to generate electricity that we need or those that destroyed our Steel rolling Mills at Aladja, Ajaokute, Ekpan , e.t.c ...... then it will make sense!

I know 2Baba is a great musician and "father of all nations" with a penchant for sowing his seed wildly but l dont know nor will l give him credit for any "academic, intellectual or cranial ability", as he has not shown any in the past.

Everyone should try to lead by sticking to what they are really competent at and know-best.

This Protest is a completely misguided and mis-directed effort. It is uncalled but if it must happen then it should be directed at where it can be meaningful and produce results.

I love and respect 2face, 2much (for his music) to think he would make himself a tool in the hands of those who are still smarting from their loss in the last Presidential elections and have therefore made it their life-duty to create problems for this administration of Buhari.

That the protest was timed to coincide with when the President would return form his 10-days annual leave... speaks volume!

Idle people who have excess time to play with, should go to the farm instead of creating further nuisance in public space.

But then, it is a Democracy..... and "Demonstration of Craze" is highly allowed!

Professor Farooq Kperogi said he has received calls from many Nigerians including his Emir to stop criticizing President Buhari.According to him,he can not stop criticizing Buhari because he is incompetent and insensitive.He wrote...

[quote author= Professor Farooq Kperogi]Believe you me, it’s no fun being openly critical of a person whose candidature I staked my reputation to promote, and in whom I invested enormous confidence and hope.

If Buhari actually had a clue and was governing well and wasn’t wasteful, protective of corrupt associates while pretending to be fighting corruption, insensitive to the plight of the poor, clannish, clueless, incompetent, etc., I would have been one of the proudest people today[/quote]Now, if a whole Professor could confess to this being stewpid!

I eman, if Buhari was actually what this Professor is saying he is TODAY, what would wonder whether "Proffessor" loaned out his brain to a mechanic in the PAST, when he supported Buhari?

Proff. should be honest and say that he is not getting the sort of patronage he was expecting to get .....from supporting Buhari!

Buhari does not have time for "business-charlattans" like Prof Pkeroogi!

Most people "apologising" for supporting Buhari are just disappointed in that they are not getting Contracts as they thought they would get!

unmask:
I don't understand why the cry over dollars......the major issue is that there is no dollar to sell. Basic economics tells you if the demand is high the price will increase.....but in Nigeria's case the demand is high and the supply is low.

How do we increase supply
1) pump all we have in the reserve back into the economy, then cry a little later
2) increase export of non petroleum products and reduce import of non essentials
3) increase the price of crude and stop vandalism

Only 1 and 2 are in the purview of the government

And just so you know.....the current increase in prices of commodity is tied to the scarcity of dollars in circulation

It will have to get worse before it gets better

Now this is someone who knows what is going-on.

I don't tackle problem from the surface rather from the root. Majority of people shouting GEJ forgive us are the people thinking SAI BABA will give them an appointment or looking for benefit. We are still suffering from the error of the past administration. Majority of people attacking PMB are the one hailing the NDA then for crippling our economy, same people carry placards to court in solidarity of corrupt official.

I STAND WITH SAI BABA ANY DAY ANY TIME.

You know most Nigerians are so impoverished that even their brain has stopped functioning!
They cant see the nexus between Price of Crude, Looting of the treasury and their increasing poverty!

Only an educated illiterate or some paid Sa-TAN-oid will be apologising to that grave mistake called Jonathan!

Jonathan....NEVER AGAIN! Not even something that looks and talks like him!

GEJ should STOP all these 'image laundering'! His image, amongst "intelligent peeps" is Dead and buried!
He should use the funds he looted, to provide amenities for his people in Otuoke...at least they would have benefited from the "National Cake" he looted.

Commissioning all these paid propaganda does not take away from the fact that he presided over Nigeria when crude Oil, our only source of FOREX, was selling at an ALL TIME HIGH of over $110 and an ALL TIME HIGH production capacity of over 2.3Million Barrels per day! He also inherited a very high Foreign Reserve ($64 Billion) from Ex-President Yar Ardua....with a very minimal National Debt.

When he left office, he had squandered the Foreign Reserve that Yar Ardua left, incurred a very huge burden of foreign debt on the country and has NOTHING to show for the massive influx of Forex that accrued to the country, over the five years that he was President.

If he used the money judiciously, like other countries :Oil dependent" countries like Saudi Arabia, Quatar, Angola used their own, we wont be having a recession today, just like those countries are not in recession.

On the other hand, this Govt of Buhari inherited a HUGE National debt from Jonathan, inherited an empty Treasury with very little foreign reserve and in addition to all that, the Govt came into power when the price of our only source of Dollars, Crude Oil, was at an ALL TIME LOW ($23 per Barrel... gradually picking up now!) and an ALL TIME LOW level of Production due to sabotage from the same Jonathan's kinsmen!

Now, except you are as clueless as your Jonathan and this inept "Twitter Senator", you would know that there is no basis to compare the two Govt's using the Exchange rate!

Most people like the clown "apologising" to Jonathan, have no idea why the value of the Niara exchange rate goes Up or down!
If the country earns more Dollars, the Naira will strengthen against the Dollar ....but if we earn less Dollars (as we are doing now, due to the low price of Oil and low production), the exchange rate of the Naira wilL weaken. ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

So, IS HE APOLOGISING FOR BEING STEWPID OR FOR JUST BEING A PAID APOLOGIST?

Even the so-called Senator is not intelligent enough (actually our Senators are the mere looters and thugs! so l dont expect any o f then to be intelligent ) .... to EXPLAIN to his that it is not an issue of Buhari being President, it is the "value" of the product (Crude Oil) that earns us the Dollars!

Let illiterates keep apologising to Jonathan.... if that is what makes him their "Hero"!
"Hero" of ignorant fools!

*** Aside the "element of surprise" involved in products like this (motion sensors/PIR's), there is also the advantage of "energy savings" as the light only comes up when motion is detected. This means that it is only ON when someone needs illumination to see the pathway (at night) or when it needs to expose an intruder. Apart from those scenarios, your bulb is "OFF" and not using your electricity.

They did the first picture..not neat
Client call us to do it right.. Then
We did the other one.. We neat it

Now we get more recommendations

Kenny, when you want to compare two things, make sure they are exactly "Like for Like"!

Though your work appears neater but you did not show us the inside of the two panels, in "their own work" .... in those pictures
But you showed us the inside of your own Panels.
What if the inside of their own Panel was better than yours, how do we know?

In such comparison, it appears you are intentionally giving "undue advantage" to your own work.

The above notwithstanding, if we compare the Fuse wiring (excluding the panels ... "Like for Like", yours was better laid-out so kudos to you.
