Talk to any Fulani man you see around. If he can’t do it, he would link you up. Their own is usually cheaper than those done by our city boys.

Awon wherhey gbhogbho.

I told you they had nothing to offer.

You said so but these are perks that come with holding that office only that it’s too much. He doesn’t need more than 2 bullet-proof vehicles which shouldn’t cost more than 500k, in total.

Nothing dey that head.
All na to kpensh and chop men money.

Motor without engine. Our education system has gone to dogs.

During our time, there was no student that don’t know all the stanza as of primary 3.

Even if we were in toilet and they were singing national anthem, we would stand up and recite it. Everybody going around had to stop (with their right-hand palm placed on their chest) and recite our anthem(s).

Anyway, she would get over it. Nigerians are already forgetting MY OGA AT THE TOP… WWW.

Make she sha no go commit sui.cide sha.

There would now be frequent flights to Riyadh by structural engineers, architects, event management etc - all jostling for one contract or the other.

Owo deeee.

Yet everyday we hear of companies closing down operations in the country?

It’s tough doing business in Nigeria because of our lopsided policies or lack of policies implementation. Corruption is key too. Even among staff if companies.

Ask people in procurement, engineering, marketing, finance and sales departments of every company to know the level of corruption/evil they perpetrate. Those evils cripple and kill a lot of companies.

izuch:
Ask yourself why those companies shut down, ask yourself.

It’s our corrupt system that caused over 75% of the reasons they left.

izuch:
No light to run your factory here and diesel is almost 1500 per liter. They'll definitely shut down as quickly as they opened.

They will generate their own power. A lot of companies have been doing this for decades in Nigeria without shouting.

Such company is not like a blacksmith shop in our village.
You think for them to express interest in setting up in Nigeria, they haven’t considered Nigeria’s electricity problems?

Come to think of it, there used to be more than one tractors manufacturing company in Nigeria in the early 70s and 80s around present Bauchi State and one other Northern states, if I remember correctly. I stand to be corrected.

🙏🧎‍♂️🧎🧎‍♀️Abeg. We urgently need this. Please. Let us donate lands to them for the construction.
Nigeria is too backward in the area of agricultural mechanization.

I always laugh when I see those mama and papa dem using hoes and cutlasses to work on farms.

The kind of massive and highly automated farm machines that are on one person who is even an illiterate here in obodo oyinbo is extremely phenomenon.

One farmer’s farm here may be able to feed a state like Bayelsa in Nigeria.

Apologies to my Bayelsan people. I am only using it as just an example. I don’t mean to be little you.

We need food sufficiency, abeg. No let us sabotage dis 1. Abeg. Na ground I dey.

We need more than tractors. We need all those other equipments too and exposure on farm layout.

Make our government go Netherlands too and bring expertise to come and help us. Nigerians are suffering.

Abeg.

Indonesia that came to pick palm kernels seeds in Nigeria.

His dad didn’t make informed decisions. That’s why he lost out.

You see; one buys shares of companies for 3 reasons:

1. For speculative reasons:- thinking that the share will rise or fall in the near future so that one can quickly take the gain and move on.

2. For share appreciation:- expecting that the share would keep appreciating and to be sold off in the future.

3. For dividend purposes:- expecting that the company that sold the shares will be paying dividends yearly to shareholders.

The number 3 reason is the reason why most Nigerians buy shares and they don’t know that a lot of things have to be considered before you buy a company’s shares and be expecting dividends.

It may not be that it is Nigeria that happened to the shares for dropping in value. It may be that it is the management of the company that didn’t manage the company well.

That’s why it is not good to go with No. 3 reason when buying shares.

Where a share investment is at N1m, and the company declared a dividend of N1,000 at the end of the year. And the cost of postage of such dividend check is N1,200, does it make sense to keep holding such shares?

A lot of people who were bamboosed by stock brokers into buying company shares without carrying out due diligence and not doing analysis of financial performances of such companies will always loose out.

Such ‘investors’ do not even know the road to the office of those brokers again so that they can go and tell them to sell the shares.

That’s why informed business-oriented oriented investors know when to buy or sell shares. They don’t, solely, by shares of any company for dividend purposes.

It’s good his dad sells the shares now. Otherwise, he would loose it to Stamp Duty (tax).

No need to negotiate. Let our president sign Executive Order and lobby our two Houses so that they don’t revote.

The Executive Order will mandate closure of all domiciliary account in the next 6 months and forbid opening of domiciliary account again in Nigeria.

All transactions requiring forex has to be done through our banks via official portal at official exchange rate.

We will see how people will bring out those foreign currencies and deposit in their accounts.

That would first of all ease the pressure on Naira then government can take other measures to strengthen our Naira.

Where more than one currency is being allowed in a country and such country does not belong to a zone, commission, or union that warrants use of another currency or currencies emanating from such alliance, such country is a corr.upt country.

How can we be spending Naira and be allowed to open another currency accounts in our country? It is only our CBN that has that right to hold foreign currencies in its fault.

Even if it is possible to sell our oils in Naira, let the buyer too go and buy Naira at official rate in the official window and pay us.

I have not seen any bank in Europe (other than those corru.pt Eastern European countries and those of former Soviet Union countries) that allows opening and maintaining a currency account other than the one being spent in such country. I stand to be corrected on this, with verifiable proofs.

No Nigerian in the US/Canada has Naira bank account in the US or Canada 🇨🇦, likewise in Europe.
The same thing is applicable in Latin America and Africa.
Why did/does our government allow opening of such bank accounts in Nigeria?

I know it’s for class-forming and ostentatious reasons that led us to this when Nigeria was good and some sets of people were looking for what to use to differentiate themselves from common Nigerians who were also enjoying then.

Also, it’s because of those caravans from neighboring countries who needed to change their money while in Nigeria for trading but they were doing it in an informal way with our Hausa/Fulani people in Northern Nigeria.

Because of brotherhood nature of the Hausa/Fulanis, our leaders then didn’t see it as something bad, instead of them to make sure it was done in a formal way through our banks.

Now it has become a multibillion dollar business and it’s hard to stop and it’s plunging our Naira deeper.

I don’t think it is our economy that is that bad which is making Naira to loose value on a per-second basis. It is our forex speculators and hedgers.

If government can ban operating of other countries currencies in our banking system, Naira will get to at least N400 against $1, instantly.

i will even love to ask a question was there a time the refinery even work since it was build because it been long i have been hearing refinery issue

The refinery was working perfectly all through early 1980s.

Its decline started after Iraq-Iran war in late 1988 but Babangida made sure they packed most of the money from all the refineries to go and start Abuja and move FCT closer to the North in 1993.

It was Abacha that fired the k.lling bullet on the refinery 1995 when he was sold the idea of importing fuel, after he took over in 1995. That’s when subsidy thiev.es increased in numbers because many licenses were given to a lot of oil marketers.

All through the two years I lived in Kaduna, I can say authoritatively, that Kaduna refinery didn’t work in a day!

I lived closer to Kachia Area where the refinery is and I interacted with some of their staff and indigenes.

Khyrvxjzy:
bro, port Harcourt is December,kaduna is in a year

thank God everything is in a year let wait if they dont do it then we will know this administration cant do anything on the refinery and they have to sell it

👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
Listen to another incompetent NNPC thief, Mele Kyari, in the same video where drunkard Heineken Ologogoro said Kaduna refinery would be ready in December 2024, saying PortHacourt refinery would be ready at the end of 2024.

Start watching the YouTube video from 5minutes:10seconds time lapse.

I know may be you just read the headline of the news and watched only a little of it.

*Note: Channels TV won’t allow you to watch it on Nairaland but copy it into your browser and watch.

Khyrvxjzy:
port Harcourt is December 2023, they did not shift anything

Minister of State for Petroleum, Heineken… wantin wantin said PH refinery will be completed by the end of 2024 but not end of 2023 as you have said.

By brother, they better look for Aboki scrap buyer to sell those scrap metals to. No billions of dollars can fix that refinery - from the little wey me I see o. It’s in a total moribund state.

The money they will waste again on it better be spent on power transmission and provision of free prepaid meters.

The refineries can never work.

They are all gone. Good they sell them to private investors and see how little can be savaged from them.

Our politicians and civil servants and their cohorts will never make heaven.

I watched a tour of PortHacourt Refinery on Channels TV and I wanted to cry.

They are just fooling us. They know nothing would work there again.

Those refineries are long gone.

I till wonder why staff are there collecting salaries.

Bye bye to Nigeria’s future.

Make everybody carry im monke.y.

What happened to sokoto naa only sokoto den tell us nii

Pls we need it all over Nigeria, presently I needed another 350bags in two diff site within few days now to finish some work.

Me sef. I keep wondering.

I need 210 bags of cements quickly in Osun by Monday morning, latest @ 4k max.

We may negotiate for additional 700 later if all goes well.

It’s a way of class-forming and exploitation.

HND is like school of applied sciences. Government shouldn’t have created universities of technologies, if it had wanted polytechnics to be stronger but you see people in edu ministry and those commissions, na envy and jealousy go kee dem.

Na dem start the dichotomy, all in the name of segregating employees for promotion and that’s how they passed it on to generations of muntulas who like oppressions and castigation in government offices.
The same way was how students started it in NYSC orientation camps in the 1980s and other places where Uni and HND graduates cross paths.

Gone r those days when ifa will choose the king, now na politicians dey put king there.

Every Ifa don retire to Burger 🍔 King dey go lick ice cream.

Before the remaining mon.keys in Idanre go wise-up, he wan begging dey cash out on im own level.

Wherhey was thinking of spending the money alone. He wanted to ‘blow’, suddenly and put all his perceived enemies to shame.

Now he is being out to shame.

How will you carry out something of that magnitude and. It carry your family along?

I don’t think anybody hypnotize him. He was just fabricating lies to gain sympathy.

So that there would be more to steal and syphon.

Another sleeping/dozing galore loading.

I'm rilly working on a very tight budget,I know HDF are strong and nice but going fo that option would set my project back by over 2million, and my projection for doors is about 1million tops. Hence my choice to go for watson or these budget friendly american panel doors for internal rooms but I'm sceptical about the quality of those door,especially the american panel doors.Thanks all thesame.

They are only called American panel doors. They are scrap/crap. Kukuma buy local panel doors made by a good carpenter.

you nailed it. God bless you abundantly

He really nailed it.
What a state governor stole under 8 years can build 5 of Sultan Haitman City of Oman and still remain.

Wether they defend d naira or not, one thing I know is, Nigeria is super rich. Nigeria is not one of the richest country in the world, but the richest country in the world. No country can survive the level of corruption Nigeria is withstanding.

Only politicians from one state out of the 36 state in Nigeria will loot China's resources dry in one year.

😁😁

What of civil servants - both retired and the serving ones?

Fathers, mothers, friends, relations, and business partners of most of us?

Terrible thiev.ing thiev.es

Ther are not remorseful. No conscience. They are the ones to first blame leaders.

Ethanol seller don hammer. We should expect price increase on ethanol from now on.

Please we have had enough of sarcastic questions on land ownership.

Let people ask constructive questions on how to make better use of the opportunity.

From what the OP has posted so far, it doesn’t cost a leg and a hand to start this.

Where the OP cannot be reached, a little research online about cultivating, harvesting, and selling this produce would help.

Oga.

That sector needs serious hypo (concentrated one), Omo detergent, and iron sponges.

You do be surprise that bamboo actually has more tensile strength than the steel we use


https://www.nairaland.com/7880395/danger-anambra-man-builds-two-storey

That’s would be good then. Why are we joining the bandwagon of iron rod users?

Tochex101:
Did anyone see the video that trended early this week of someone using bamboo in place of steel rods in Anambra state?
I could have attached the video but don't know how to....
Our pros here, what are your thoughts...

May be he didn’t want to spend millions from his millions.

I guess if the holding columns are stronger, a storey building with such alternative should be fine.
Make dem sha no dey pound yam with mortal for upstairs. And make dem no turn upstairs to dancing club, after all our people dey build decking with kpako before we stitched to concrete decking.
