Keep quite,what has tinubu got to do with this.......shop rite failed to evolve and adjust to current realities.......smaller retail chains are growing rapidly where shop rite has failed and there are more retail outlets bludgeoning value in the retail space......everything tinubu depicts you as an ignorant,unintelligent fellow who doesn't even understand basics.
Shut up and stop, thinking backwards. Shoperite paved the way for the corner shops you are salivating about. Can you compare the magnitude of business and cash flow ShopRite draws. The supply chains,the business environment the crowd it pulls ? Even the mental stress it relieves. You can just decide to walk around the mall and just enjoy the ambience. But leaking brains like always reasoning from the feet think anything goes. Pathetic
PoliticsRe: Vios Banned From Roadside Operations In Cross River After Drivers’ Protest by maivd: 5:57pm On Mar 07
alphonsojidebab:
The Cross River State Government has banned roadside operations by Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) following widespread protests by commercial transport operators over alleged harassment and excessive fines.

Governor Bassey Otu announced the directive on Saturday in Calabar after holding a meeting with transport stakeholders. The announcement was disclosed in a statement issued by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Linus Obogo. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

According to the statement, the decision came after persistent complaints from commercial bus drivers and tricycle operators who accused enforcement officers of issuing inflated tickets, imposing heavy fines, and intimidating motorists on the roads.

Under the new directive, VIO personnel will no longer carry out roadside enforcement across the state. Their duties will now be limited strictly to office-based operations.



As part of broader reforms aimed at easing the financial burden on transport operators, the state government approved a reduction in daily transport ticket fees.

The daily ticket fee for commercial vehicles has been reduced from ₦850 to ₦500, while the penalty for failing to purchase the ticket has been lowered to ₦10,000.

Governor Otu also ordered that all traffic-related fines across the state be reduced by 50 percent, stressing that payments must be made strictly into official Cross River State government accounts to eliminate illegal collections.

For tricycle riders, the daily ticket fee has also been reduced from ₦1,200 to ₦500.

However, the government introduced a new operational restriction, announcing that tricycle operations will now end at 6 p.m., with night operations permanently banned.

In another relief measure, the government announced that commercial bus drivers and tricycle operators will no longer be required to purchase daily tickets on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.

Officials say the policy is designed to support transport operators and reduce the economic pressure they face in their daily operations.

Governor Otu explained that the reforms are intended to restore order to the state’s transport system while ensuring fairness in enforcement.

Under the new framework, the Commercial Transport Regulatory Agency (CTRA) will focus primarily on vehicle registration and ticket sales at approved rates.

Meanwhile, enforcement officers are required to operate only in official uniforms and must present verifiable identification while on duty.

The governor also directed the Traffic Management and Regulatory Agency (TRAMRA) to restrict its responsibilities strictly to traffic control and management.

The new directives are expected to take effect March 9.



Despite the reforms, some transport operators have expressed reservations about the new measures.

A commercial driver, Johnson Ade, said the government should publish a clear list of traffic offences and their corresponding penalties to avoid confusion and prevent impersonators from exploiting motorists.

“Reducing fines by 50 percent is still vague. The government should clearly state the exact amount payable for each offence,” he said.

Similarly, Sunday Dennis, Metropolitan Chairman of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), revealed that the union plans to hold an emergency meeting to review the governor’s directive.



The latest policy shift follows a series of protests by commercial bus drivers and tricycle operators across Cross River State.

The demonstrations earlier forced the state government to temporarily suspend transport ticket collections as tensions escalated between drivers and enforcement officials.

Authorities say the newly introduced measures are aimed at resolving the crisis and creating a more transparent transport regulatory system in the state.

BusinessRe: Photo Of Tony Elumelu With His Friend In 1985 During His NYSC Days In Sokoto by maivd: 12:31am On Mar 03
OverCalculating:
Tony Elumelu with his friend during his NYSC days in Sokoto, 1985, a fresh graduate without employment yet.

After his NYSC, he was unsure about the next steps but he believed that wherever he finds himself he would always stand out through hard work and resilience.

A few years later, after his Masters, Tony Elumelu saw an application for graduates with a minimum of 2:1 in All States Trust Bank, this aligned with what he wanted for his life, but his 2:2 grade did not make him qualified, still, he applied, because he knew what he wanted in life and was going to work towards it.

He had always admired the banking profession. Tony Elumelu loved that the guys in the profession were always impeccably dressed and wanted to look like them. He then put in the application and said “Even though I do not meet these requirements if you give me the chance, I will prove myself. I got the job and spent every day proving myself and earning my luck in the bank."

I don't know what you're going through now or what you've gone through but you have the power and choice to overcome it. Don't let anything stop you from realizing your dreams. The world needs you.

Today, Tony Elumelu is a source of elevation and inspiration for many in Nigeria and beyond.

Foreign AffairsRe: How Iran Mosquito Fleet Is Giving US Sleepless Nights by maivd: 9:42pm On Feb 26
RemoveKebab:
Bro US Carrier don't travel alone
There is something called a battle carrier group
Combined with powerful satellites to see beyond any adversary

A typical group consist of 1 carrier, 1-2 cruisers, 2-3 destroyers, and 1 attack submarine, offering immense offensive air power (F/A-18E/F, F-35C) and Tomahawk missile capabilities, protected by advanced air, surface, and sub-surface defense

Before those mosquitoes leave their ports they would have been naturalized because US satellites are no joke

Now what happens after Iran exhaust all their drones and missiles will be total Annihilation of mullahs.

We saw what happened doing the 12 day war with Israel where Iran air space was completely over run
Now try it with US. They are just waiting for excuse to wipe out the mullah once and for all.

Then comes the people who will gladly execute those in ruling power when that door is knocked down.

To sum it up
Iran government don't even fear US invasion more than it's people that are waiting for right opportunity to gaddafi them
It's not that is not going to happen
it's just when and it is coming sooner than we thought.
All this one is theory, let US try practical let's see.

TravelRe: Bees Invade Commercial Bus In Lagos Island, Causing Temporary Panic by maivd: 3:35am On Feb 23
lavylilly:
First, I have worked as a bee keeper. I understand how they behave in farms, forests, and even very urban places. You’d be surprised how many colonies live comfortably in cities like Lagos Island — inside ceilings, abandoned buildings, drainage gaps, signboards, and rooftops. Bees don’t care whether it’s a village or Victoria Island. If there’s nectar, shelter, and warmth, they’ll thrive.

Urban areas actually have:

Flowering ornamental plants

Fruit trees in compounds

Open waste bins with sugary residues

Water sources from leaking pipes or gutters


That’s paradise for a colony.

Now, about “not everything has a scientific explanation” — I respectfully disagree.

When bees suddenly swarm, attack, or appear in numbers, there are usually clear triggers:

A disturbed hive

Loud vibration (generators, drilling, heavy traffic)

Heat stress

Someone unknowingly blocking their entrance

Scent triggers (perfume, sweat, alcohol, dark clothing)

A colony splitting (swarming season)


Bees are defensive, not spiritual. They are reacting, not targeting.

I’ve personally removed colonies from:

Busy city hotels

Apartment balconies

Government offices

Market stalls


All in crowded areas.

When people don’t understand bee behavior, it feels mysterious. But from someone who handles them with bare hands and a smoker daily — there’s always a reason.

Urban doesn’t mean unnatural. Crowded doesn’t mean impossible. And unexplained doesn’t mean supernatural.

Bees follow instinct, pheromones, and environmental cues — not geography.
Stop capping backwards. If it's that easy walk around your vicinity and show us different clusters from now till the end of March. You should be a able to send pictures of three different locations with time stamps.
