Well, For someone who is starting a job, don't you think other stuff like wardrobe (he has to dress up to office expectations), Feeding, Transportation (considering the fluctuating cost of transportation due to unending arising factors ), Utility bills, etc. I believe there has to be a certain level of financial stability before one can start saving for a home, besides its easier to save with a spouse if the person is married.

A lot of sacrifice must go into this. I believe people should tell themselves a reality of postponing comfort for a 5-10 year period. Starting early is also key. I remember I once advised my sister in law that to make her relationship worthwhile, she and fiancee should commit to house project - either build or buy.

In 2007, I gave my wife 900k to cover a summer trip. She suggested we shelve summer that year so that we can invest in a business she's had her mind on for a while. I bought the idea (making ICE BLOCKS in large quantity) and we started. We built a mini-factory from scratch. Summer was shelved for 6years. It was a rewarding experience for us....but one thing that was key, the experience I got building the factory was key both as impetus and little experience in building the one we live in today.........I will forever be grateful for the kind of wife I married. She like her grandmother believed in the concept of "tying things down" (building projects)

I am currently thinking of starting a complex next year (4 floors minimum), consisting of supermarket, restaurant and office spaces. I simply tell myself that after acquiring the land, I just need to throw a minimum of 5 million Naira at it every year and will wrap it up when I exit paid employment.

NaijaFutbol:
From the day you get a job, save exact amount of your rent as a mortgage fund.

It becomes an emergency the very year you get married.

Start building building with your spouse and set a realistic target with him/her.

I remember back then, my mother practically forced my first housing allowance out of my hand and used it to buy 2.5plots of land @ Ibafo. I was 24+. It shaped my perception for life...... for example, we used all the cash gift we got at wedding 4yrs later to complete payment for a second property

Since you're well versed in the language, kindly fill in the blank spaces in the form below.

Now I can confirm you have obviously lost it. For someone that was seeking for "counter arguments.....". But sista, are you so dumb that you don't know your level? Direct collages and nonsense stuffs like these to your cohorts, who are bereft of the capacity to rational thinking.....

Evathyst:
Just as Oscar Wilde opined; 'Those who allude ugly meanings to beautiful things are corrupt and are amoral...' I'd rather wish you can advise your party (The Association of Past Criminals) to stop embarrassing themselves by looking for scandal where none exist. Governance is all about service. What reasonable service have they rendered after Nigerians voted them in? In case you're still living in dreamland, it's almost a year since your 'Messiah' was sworn in.

Stew.pid O level literature student, you just quickly flip through your textbooks and lift quotes, without assessing the relevance. Try and explain how Olujimi's reply is a metaphor! You shamelessly defend a Senator who harshly replied a constitutent that was voicing out his concern on wanton waste and impunity in the Senate. You shamelessly want to explain away a Senator that told a constituent to go to blazes as he's irrelevant, after all she's "paid every inch of the way..." yet you claim to know that governance is all about service? What an irony?

I know you're a pay-per-post IPOB she-tout, but your pay masters should have engaged intelligent ones. O blimey! I almost forgot that it is only unintelligent folks that can condescend so low to do what you do

Evathyst:
If you had read a biblical passage where Jesus claimed to be a sheep so you probably would have likened him to a four-footed creature?


You APsh*t's e-robots are just so pathetic! Your level of crass crass zombyism is congenital.


With this lame argument you stated above, you've deliberately given yourself up as a petty lick spittle, meal-time joker, bloody sycophant, and a mercenary activist which you truly are. For a party whose followers are inherently not gifted with a faculty of discernment, I don't think I owe you the sympathy of enlightening you. Now, if you'll excuse me, the grown ups gotta go to work this morning. You could while away your time here for all I care.


Peace!

I knew I would bring out your emptiness, so much for claim of the command of language yet empty on "brains". obviously things got beyond what your brain can process, frustration had to set in. No wonder you resorted to expletives.

That woman is an adulterous woman and she is a confirm liar. In fact a first class liar


How can his husband use those balms on her and the husband's pe.nis wasn't affected. Can his husband's pe.nis even stand the hotness of aboniki let alone to use other balms and powder join am.

The woman doesn't even know how to lie and she thinks the judge hasn't seen though her lies?


Husband no get money that why she is running. rubbish The man don train am for school finish and him no come finish his own school ans she wan leave him.

onye ara like u

I am also persuade to take this view of yours. She has something she's not telling the courts and just simply wants to lie her way through

It is unfortunate that for all your rant, you fail the simple test of logic. Your attempt to swing this just highlights both your comprehension deficit and failed attempt to appear smart. Pray tell, what metaphorical statement is "I paid every inch of the way..." in this context? Did you even bother to read the conversations between the guy that sent her the text and the reply he got? People like you are little minded and the little knowledge you have, you cannot put to good use.

Unfortunately your limitations did not allow you to see what is important. The question of who benefits is as useless and worthless as you lay your arguments. We are talking about the common good of our country Nigeria, how in the time of scarcity our Senate is supposed to show concern and commitment by not buying needless cars, not given to corruption by ammending CCT and CCB act and others, yet what you could think of in this whole issue is who benefits? Unfortunately I cannot come down to your comprehension level to explain simple things to you

Unfortunately your comprehension level looks less than basic, and I do not find it tempting to "raise a counter argument......" with you. I value the use of my intellect.......

Evathyst:
First and foremost, I'd like to know the night school or sunday school which you graduated from.


If you were ever taught English language in your secondary school, you'll realise that the so-called statement is just a metaphorical statement. It doesn't in anyway amount to bribery. For God's sake, has English language become that difficult for folks like you to understand? Stop displaying your ignorance please!





Back to your second statement, that it had been trending on twitter doesn't mean it wasn't spread by the APC. There's this Latin saying that goes thus; QUI BONO. Who benefits? If you know which party tends to benefit from her indictment, then, you'll know who the falsehood peddlers are. Simple logic!


In conclusion, while I expected you to raise a counter argument on all the failed promises of this administration, you resorted to displaying your crass 'Zombyism'. Too bad! I don't trade words with zombies, I educate them.


You APC e-robots have never failed to live up to your expectation of standing logic on the head. And twisting facts so as to satisfy your illogical interpretation. Keep fooling yourselves, 2019 is almost here...


Please, don't quote me again, I've got better things to do than engaging an e-robot.

Enjoy the rest of your day.


Peace!

I am waiting for the turn of Justice Mary Odili

It could be an upgrade. We can't be too certain except we are shown the receipt.

Bros,

Don't spoil the fun. You need not try to explain what is not relevant to the idi.otic wailers. Let the have their fill...........
Don't you see the quality of opposition we have in this country? To say that PDP twitter handle is handle by a youth - Deji Adeyanju....... then you will pray to God that his level should not be reflective of the average intelligence of the Nigerian youth.........but alas! NL is about to make it true

Evathyst:
'I paid every inch of the way...'


How does the statement above amount to admittance of bribery? APC self na wa o!



A ruling party that still engage in propaganda. Is that the $1 to #1 exchange rate that they promised in their campaign? The 20,000 mega watts nko? 3 million jobs annually. 5K for unemployed graduate nko? 20,000 housing units in every APC state. This Govt is just pathetic!


Formerly a Zombie, but now a wailer.

1. The statement, taken in isolation may not mean anything, but within the context of the reply to the "alledged" conversation, it is an outright admission that she paid her way to secure votes. Now this is first a moral issue, how the law will interprete it is another matter. Does it not bother you that Senators we voted for to represent us in the National Assembly will talk to a citizen that way? Does it not bother you that the mentality of a typical politician like her is that once she's paid her way through, she doesn't give a hoot about the citizens?

2. Second, this has been trending on twitter since morning and the retweets is devoid of party affiliation, but by all well meaning Nigerians that want the good of this country. Which makes me ask you, are you so bereft of any modicum of care for the future of your children that you will even consider Senator Olujimi as defensible?

Other comments of yours needs no review as they are simply unintelligent statements

GEJ, the ineffectual buffoon legalised corruption

But before GEJ, corruption has been in Nigeria nah

Let me help here

1. IBB legalised corruption and not GEJ. Under IBB corruption was rampant yet covert
2. GEJ redefined and sign-posted corruption. Under GEJ's "stealing is not corruption" mantra, corruption was brazenly carried out with impunity. The remnants are what we still have in the Senate and both parties

Adekorya:

BlackPeni5: :


Lol...very empty writeup. I didn't know Tinubu was a coward. Not long ago, you supporters of Tinubu hailed him as a political gladiator who would ruin Saraki. Suddenly he is not involved with the Senate presidents trial because he is just as guilty as saraki.

Abeg park well...

Nigga why are you thinking with anus? Educate yourself and get out of land full of ignoramus. Saraki is wrestling with the president and not Tinubu, and he himself is aware of his opponent. I'm not supporting his trial but that doesn't i don't want him in prison if guilty. But for once know the enemy of your master and stop attacking another man.

@Adekorya, you fall my hand o! why are you asking him the obvious when the answer is sign-posted on his moniker

stevnwigw:
the senate has issued an impeachment notice through the [size=16pt]Clark[/size], to the nigeria president. for lying under oath. and gives the nigeria president 3days to provide the embattled waec certificate or be impeached. details shortly...

......and this is the reason why it is not good to drop out of school

Life is funny.......to think that the "Yeye" that used to roll with my cousins in Akobo don become Oni.........God is great

TheBatman:
so can you give us this"accurate" info you speak of. The info you got from BS, while studying the OANDO case

Absolutely yes, and that is even what is already in the public space

1. The three guys that started OANDO are Wale Tinubu, Emamofe Boyo and Onajite Okolo
2. Wale Tinubu and Boyo were lawyers in a law firm that offers legal services to firms doing international oil trade business
3. They had formed their companies in the 90s and had made money from successful international oil trade way before 2001 when the came to buy Agip and Unipetrol. Their first successful vessel trade was around 1996 or there about.
4. Bola Tinubu has absolutely nothing to do with OANDO. It is a Wale and friends thing.
5. If you look at the strategies, profiles and structure of Ocean and Oil holdings, you will get a clear picture

I think linking Bola Tinubu to OANDO is pretty cheap. These guys did not arrive overnight when Tinubu was governor. They had been in business half a decade before Tinubu became governor then and records/facts in the public domain proves that

White007:
Forget story, Bola and Wale are the same. Didn't Wale front for Bola?. Before Bola who was Wale?. Isn't Wale the junior sibling of Bola?

Well for ur information wale Tinubu a younger brother to Bola tinubu got his first hit in 2001 when he bought Agip petroleum, when Tinubu was a lagos state governor...if I may ask where did a lawyer that runs a family law firm get $67 million to buy Agip? Definately if u want to get Bola Tinubu trace wale Tinubu's sudden wealth then u'd ave ur answer. Its as simple as that...Bola Tinubu is not so smart after all....

Bros,

Unfortunately you post some inaccuracies and misrepresentation of facts. I'm sure if you can google search, you will see certified case studies that relates the story from the 90s. from the days of Ocean and Oil holdings, to international oil trade deals they made, when other were sleeping.....I reviewed the OANDO case back then in business school and your submissions are inaccurate

The person that made the video and the photo is a class idi.ot. You don't compromise the identity of people's kids, putting stuffs online and getting it to go viral. I hope Nigerian privacy laws covers this. @OP watch what you post, and who's the mod that cannot exercise discretion? Stuffs like this should have been deleted outrightly and not brought to FP

VictorRomanov:
Nice job from Fash! However this should be Lai's job. I just wonder what he is doing. If care is not taken, the same problem the last administration had would be the same problem this one would have - lack of effective and clear communication on the activities and efforrs of Govt to better the lives of the masses.

I think the "difficulty" are in two folds

1. The decay that was met on ground is so gross that effort is geared toward careful assessment of the rot and the remedies to fix it. There's hardly anything tangible in that to "communicate"
2. The government is result centric and concrete results for that matter. Communication I believe will be in top gear when results starts churning out. When Tinubu started in Lagos as governor, for 7months, there was hardly anything visible to see, but once he landed Kudirat Abiola road in Oregun, the jaw droppingness effect of the quality of work itself, was enough communication....

dan2976:
i will always support constructive criticism and i think this is probably the only time he has ever had a point. lets wait for the FG response. lets know what the advantages are in doing business with china since the US and Europe are not exactly too keen in following suite.

Bros,

Constructive criticism is not when you post senseless and baseless assertions, just to stay relevant. It is also not when you twist logic on its head. When I read a few of Fayose's submissions, I just waived it off as someone raving mad. Let me give you a few

1. The CEECC was the company that did Ikorodu-Mile12 road done by Fashola, one of the best roads by all standards. The contract was so structured that there was an element of technology transfer. For example, all welders on that project were Nigerians. The government made sure that even though they were less skilled, the Chinese coy trained them for 3 months before the commencement of the project and they handled the welding. These are ways you improve the capacity and capability of your local workforce
2. Sanusi's strategic move (as CBN governor) back then to convert some of our foreign reserves to Yuan actually increased the value and Fayose simply twisted facts. Sanusi's move was appluaded by experts and a review of Sanusi's hedging showed it paid off.
3. On the issue of where to source raw materials for the projects, don;t we import many of those from China in the first place?

Unfortunately the FG cannot give a response to someone as daft as him, doing so will make FG to be as stupid as Fayose

Joel3:
Advantage & Disadvantage Of Nigeria And China Deal


if you ask me, the only advantage is temporary and divert the existing problem.



Advantage of Nigeria & China Deal

1, to reduce temporary pressure on the dollar

2, cheaper import of Chinese goods & service

3. using Nigeria as a contact point or business hub to other west Africa country

4. short team infrastructure to ease suffering

5. the naira we now be accepted by some Chinese

6. opening of Chinese and Nigeria trade.

Disadvantage of Nigeria & Chinese Deal

1, it discourage local product since its cheaper to import

2. it will increase importation as never before. and most especially this critical time oil is worthless

3. it contradict the slogan of Diversifying Nigeria economy

4. we have little to export to China compared with our import from chine

5. the profit margin scale is not balance Nigeria is on the losing end.

6. the long team is disastrous to our economy

7. Chinese yuan is not worthy to bank on inflation will kill our reserve.

8. Chinese will start taking over our jobs and owing a store and storehouses. like it happens in Zimbabwe

9. on the long run there will be scarcity of the yuan just like dollar today.

you are free to add yours.

Apart from the fact that you can hardly play two sides, it is advisable that you stay on your lane as a wailer. Trying to start an intelligent conversation was dead on arrival as you're not cut out for intelligence. Stick to what you know how to do best.

wasuka14:
Actually, why is PMB ignoring dis lord of ekiti I don't understand, is he too big?? He is committing atrocities against his country and every1 is ignoring him. Why

Bros, one key principle in the game of power is to ignore for a long while and let him (Fayose) run himself amok as he's currently doing so that he continues to demonstrate his emptiness to the world. Besides what attention do you think PMB should give him, when there are people that requuired better use of the span

Itsekiriman101:
Fayose was not speaking to anyone. He just posed behind the podium of a trade fair center speaking (rather not speaking) to a disorganised hall of attendees.

Ekiti people should wake up; this man is just taking them for a ride. How many projects has he commissioned since he came into power? Look at Willie Obiano's achievements within the short time he has been in power and yet Ananmbra is not a major oil producing state (if it is at all)

It is easy to criticise, but only when you can show evidence of being more successful than the subject of your criticism. Fayose should go and develop Ekiti state.

Develop where? He cannot give what he doesn't have. Ekiti people have sinned against God and God decided to visit them this the calamity (Fayose) of the Egyptians
