Sad to hear this. May his soul rest in peace, amen. Funny he wasn't even from Uganda

He was popularly referred to as the 'Ugandan Giant' so I also thought he was from there.
I wondered to myself why he was trying to portray Africans as cannibals and very backward people, but later found out it was just an act to boost his image.
May his Soul rest in peace.

...but lai has done incredibly well in lai-ing.

You get 5 Milla for pocket ?

MrBrownJay1:
what was he expecting? that Juve team is useless for the past 3 years....they dont care about winning the serie A, they NEED the big one to recoup all they have invested in their ONE star player!

I wonder why they did not go for Zidane when he left Real Madrid.
Being a multiple UCL winner as a coach and also an ex Juve player would have been a nice combination.

NerdyRudeGyal:
Why not?

You and your wife will have to find the time when she's not in then, since she's not moving out anytime soon. Perhaps you two could help her get her own place, or help her find her own spouse.

I wonder if the Sister inlaw smiles mischievously at the Ops in the morning after the night show
I agree totally with you, they can look for a room apartment close bye for her, but not in the same building, to avoid falling apart with the Sister inlaw due to the singles life she might adopt.

What is the true state of the telecom sector now, how cheap are the services they render

The service they render is okay, but data can still be made cheaper and faster

caye:
Trust me; this is a delusion. The spirit of corruption present among the rulers and common people would negate any logical path to sanity, progress and prosperity. All that would happen would simply be an uograde of poverty and hopelessness. Nigeria is arguably one of the few places in the world where whatever works for others falls headlong. This is not because God cursed us, but our self-imposed curse due to sin, evil and its offspring :corruption .

I don't agree with your summation above.
When the telecommunication sector was deregulated under the President Obasanjo regime, a minute call rate was about N50 per minute, though you will be still be charged the full N50 whether you make a call of 10 seconds or less.
The above lucrative pricing mechanism attracted other players like Econet and Glo which in turn created competition among them, with Glo introducing the per second billing system which caused many consumers to switch over to their company.
MTN and Econet, not wanting to lose their clients, had no choice but to follow suit in offering the per second billing system to their clients too.
The power of competition and free market pricing of GSM calls has eventually led to the cost of per minute billing of calls to fall to about N12 per minute from N50 per minute!
It has also led to the creation of novel products to maximise clients money by introducing a system where in a network, you get N3,900 for calls and 300 MB data if you buy a recharge card of N1,000. The networks are also more consumer friendly now as they call their clients to ascertain from them if they are satisfied with their services or how they can improve their services
The above shows that the market price system will eventually enthrone the consumer as king if it is allowed to operate in the petroleum sector, though the initial teething pains and difficulty will present themselves, but ultimately the consumers will be better off.

N.B: I am not here to defend any government...just to explain things.

The price of fuel is going up for two reasons....very simplifed

1.Nigeria is not earning enough cash to keep the price of fuel down because the amount of dollars we are earning from oil aren't enough to pay for subsidy (which exists so long as fuel prices are controlled by the government)

2.Because Nigeria is not earning enough dollars, the value of the naira is going down, which is why the oil price is going up. (In very rough terms, N145 is equal IN value to N65 ten years ago).

3.We cannot increase refining capacity because despite 61 licences issued for refienreis, only people like Dangote are building, because if you build a refinery in Nigeria, because government is controlling prices, anyone refining fuel in Nigeria will sell at a loss.

(That's why Dangote's refienry is not going to bring down prices in the meantime, because Dangote has to pay back loans he took to build his refinery, and then there is the cost. These add up).

4.Oil prices are going up,and since we import most of our refined fuel the price of fuel too has to go up.

5. The solution is simple. Allow marketers to control the price of fuel they sell. Yes, at the end of the day, we pay N200-300 for a liter of fuel...but in return, investors will come and buiild more refienreis, jobs and production icnreases, and competiton brings down prices. And smuggling stops, and government saves money.

Very lucid economic analysis.
Anytime government tries to control prices of commodities, rather than allowing market forces determine it, the price of the commodity ends up skyrocketing beyond the current price and ends up making things worse.
When the Buhari administration took over in 2015, they tried to control the exchange rate of the dollar to the naira and for the first time the value of the naira fell to $1 to N400.
The outcome of the above economic policy misadventure is still with us as the current parallel exchange rate of the dollar to the Naira is $1 to N468.
Our policy makers ought to be aware that the right economic policies need to be put in place ,even if it will seem like anti-populist measures, as this will be to the overall interest of the masses and the country, in the long run.
The right economic policy of allowing market forces determine the prices of petroleum products need to be adopted quickly, although there might be need to cushion the economic effects of this policy on the poorest of the poor.

Mine was on a certain evening I went to buy drugs from a Pharmacy down the road, on my way back two mischievous dogs ran out of a nearby compound and came growling towards me.
I saw them from the corner of my eyes and knew they were coming for me and just took to my heels!
The dogs chased me towards my house and I remembered asking myself, when I was close to my house, why I should run from the dogs.
I became bolder as I got close to my house and looked for some stones to throw at the dogs.
When the dogs saw me approaching them with the stones, they turned and ran back fast towards their own house ! It was very hilarious.
I got carried away as I chased them towards their house and when they sensed they were close to their house, they turned around, once again, to give me a good hot chase back to my house.
When we got closer to my place, again, I turned around and chased them again.
However, this time I did not chase them towards their house, but took a good aim with the stone on my hand at one of the dogs, the stone struck the dog and I was satisfied when he let out a loud Yelp as they fled to their house.

I passed this road a while ago as I went from Obinze to see an inlaw who was a student at Federal University of Technology, Owerri; I am surprised to see that it has degenerated to this level

IdowuRufai:
Not anymore, Agbor - I mean including owa, have a good network of roads, thanks to the current governor. Most of the the roads have been constructed.

I learnt that the place is his hometown

This is so sad.
May his Soul rest in peace

I think schools should resume, online, so that the school year can be successfully concluded.
The schools can collect tuition fees for the above, though it should be reduced. This way proprietors can pay teachers and other staff while earning some income themselves.
Zoom app should come in very useful here.

I often get worried when I see buses parked on the major section of the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway instead of making use of the service lane.
May their Souls rest in peace and quick recovery to the injured ones

So sad that the Phoenix is no more.
I read about the onset of her illness, shortly after the death of her husband.
My thoughts and prayers are with her little girl.
May her Soul rest in peace.

Fear women. A guy will look like a macho that cannot be easily moved by things of the heart, then you will later find out that one weak and innocent looking lady has him, emotionally, wrapped around her little fingers.
Whatever she tells the guy above to do, he will sheepishly do it without question; her dumping him can sadly make him lose all hope in living.

samchide:
Presently 480k per ton however price is meant to reduce after Sallah

Thank you

Alright, thank you

DMPaulSr:

No, she will break your heart and compensate you with a car.

Congrats to both of you on your wedding!

Exactly my thoughts!
It looks too beautiful and harmless to be eaten

NSK4U:
I find it difficult to understand why most Yoruba husbands and boyfriends can't control/ make decision to follow in their relationships.....the wives and girlfriends often try to show they're most important stakeholders when compared to their partners....yet they don't carry such mentality into relationships with Igbo men so why Yorubas only......?

and just look at d rumpled tummy woman that a supposedly human being with brain allowed to control.

Nnukwu nsogbu di!

Wicked description of the lady.

End time girl friend, just imagine advising your husband to be to kill someone because of a motorcycle.
If am the guy na to run leave the lady because he's not safe too as the lady can equally get a boyfriend to kill him when she becomes tired of the marriage.

Rhymer2020:
road wey don spoil finish

E concern you, aproko

JAWBONE:
This is absolute bullshit but I guess by Abia standards, this is exceptional

Nobody asked for your pained opinion.

yarimo:
this is very commendable, I know she must be a member of APC.

Correct. Former PDP, but decamped to APC to avoid party zoning of her seat to another area.

Let them varnish and enter inside the bank na...

You got it!

Am sure na one ... Babe

Life and death are in the power of the � tongue.
Cyber bullying has led to multiple suicides, mostly in the western world, it should not be a surprise if verbal abuse and body shaming can lead to the same.

Vmoses:
I don't think Mercy Chinwo is from the East, same goes to Basket mouth

Basket mouth is from Umuso, Eluama Town, Isuikwuato LGA in Abia state, though was born and bred in Lagos.
He even quotes the above places, sometimes, when he is trying to introduce himself.

Nathan2016:
If someone is rich to buy a club, just know the person made a calculative decision before buying it.

Fear rich people o

So true.
When Michael 'Air' Jordan bought the basketball club, Charlotte Hornets, he bought it for about $197 m , but the club is reportedly worth $1.5 b now and has shot his networth to almost $2 b !

loneprof:
Wow... Hope he didn't raise venture capital from some Italian or American mafia. We only see things like this in crime movies...

The manner of killing suggests the Mob was involved.
I hope that he was dead before they dismembered his body.
Rest in peace.

eni4real:
Are you a Nigerian??

Of course!

QueenMelinda:
I have noticed most women who do this evil act are usually igbos.

The Winners Chapel AKA Living Faith Church Deaconness who used fire to burn a little girl's butt and private part is an Igbo woman too?
She was a Yoruba woman who got her daughters to be involved in the very sadistic act too !
So, you see crime or wickedness is not the exclusive preserve of any tribe.
