Good, but when are we going to be free of molestation.

It's not going to go away overnight, but it's solvable.

ProfAmaben:
Hahaha, you are always quick to point fingers rather than understanding with them, just learn how to absorb information first before commenting.

I'm not saying that tattoos are bad or anything, but going by Nigerian statistics, most guys with tattoos and dreadlocks are into various vices. The Nigerian badboy mentality is that after blending, the next thing is tattoo and dreadlocks.

Carry out a personal research, go to the nearest police station, you would see pictures on their notice board, go to the armed robber section and view the criminals. Kindly watch out for their appearance then agree or disagree with my hypothesis.

I may be wrong or right. I am not part of Nigeria's problem in anyway. I am not directly or indirectly responsible for police orientation. I have never held any public office apart from SUG in my university days.

I understand you clearly.
How did you come about such statistics, do you have any reference? You should know better than just making up stats.
You see why I say it's prejudice? Is every one a criminal that wears a tattoo? Do you have the numbers or are you recalling from your experience? You experience is not an objective picture of the world or Nigeria for that matter. What happens to those who have turned a new leaf, are they damned for life? What happens to the Presumption of Innocence, should we throw that out the window too?

My problem is that people act like it's normal and even give "tips" on how to "stay safe". It's all band-aids and whitewashing, because you haven't been affected today doesn't mean your safe.

I've never been harassed by SARS or FSARS but I do not claim that my appearance or status has been my saving grace. The only time I came close to being harassed by a police officer was when I was stopped at a checkpoint on my way home. I stood up to this guy because I had nothing to be afraid off, he expected me to cower and bribe him. My papers were intact and there was no reason for him keeping me there. He threatened to shoot, I dared him to. He then threatened to take me to their station, I told him I wasn't going anywhere and he had no right to force me. When a bystanders intervened, I heard him make side remarks -- "see this small boy, you think say I no get car...". The only reason I refrained from engaging him further was because I could perceive the strong smell of alcohol on him and I had kids in the car.

I've never begged or bribed any uniformed agent. I know my rights -- even if I'm wrong, you can't harass me. You have no right, not on God's green earth. And if I have to die protecting that right, it's better than living like a coward.

ProfAmaben:
Personally, I love tattoos, not the Oshodi or Computer village types, but quality tattoo like those A-list stars own but our society hasn't gotten to that level yet. Therefore, if anyone wants to avoid trouble, it's better to stay clean till you fly outside.

Meanwhile, most guys with tattoos and dreadlocks are bad boys and criminals in Nigeria. I don't know why but statistics seems to be against them. If I'm a police man, once I see you with tattoos and dreadlocks, you would be a suspect because many of them are cultists and criminals. I don't know why but it's the bitter truth.

This logic is flawed and morally bankrupt. I'm surprised that an "educated achiever" can think this way.

I've found that this habit of rationalizing crimes common amongst Nigerians -- a lady gets raped (oh, she dressed inappropriately or she was dating two friends or she wasn't supposed to be out at that time), someone gets harassed ("he deserved it, look how he's dressed".

It's embarrassing that you all have to pontificate your prejudiced thoughts and think it's supposed to be the norm.

We have no hope in this country because people still think like this and not only think but say these things out loud and rationalize them, so it has become our reality and will remain status quo.

You sir, are part of the problem you claim to prefer a solution to

ARCHEMEDESME:
I've noticed a certain trend ; a lot of self taught developers seem to look down on a cs degree after learning just an aspect of computer science.

For example someone who decides to learn backend web development ( which is a subset of cs)by taking an udemy course thinks he has learnt more than a serious minded cs student . They go about saying stuff like :" I didn't study computer science but I can know more than a cs major" but they seem to forget that computer science goes beyond developing websites. To me it's a waste of time of time studying cs just because you want to be a web developer , correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's what boot camps are meant for .

But that doesn't change the fact that some CS majors know nothing , I've come across some CS majors that can't code but that doesn't make a cs degree worthless.
But do you think such people are right ?

Computer Science is as much about computers as Geography is about telescopes.
Anybody can code but few can solve the hard problems of Computer Science.(e.g. problems in computational complexity -- P=NP, etc)

Memory loss issue suspected cos of the initial battery removed .
Do a reset on the powertrain for the engine computer to relearn.

Thanks. Problem solved.
I revved the engine a bit and drove the car around. AutoMoTech advised that I do that.

Good morning house,
My 08/09 Camry starts and stalls after some 5 seconds.
I changed the battery earlier today, that's when the problem started.

festacman:
US presidential system has the same heavy cost burden but their excellent management of economy counterbalances well. Recall how much the country budgeted for COVID-19 stimulus. Nigeria is rich in factors of production but we lack leadership and infrastructure to drive production. It is not late to start today.

I think it's pretty late for Nigeria, it's downhill from here. We can't compete, not on a global scale (with China, Japan, US?). The only thing we had going for ourselves was oil and even that we messed up. We couldn't even build infrastructure to unlock the potential that our oil had. The proceeds have largely been squandered or looted. You have a workforce that isn't highly skilled, epileptic power supply. No matter which way you look at it, it's very depressing.

You fail to see that while the US has a "heavy cost burden", it's mode of governance is orders of magnitude more effective than the Nigerian copy will ever be. Why is that? Because it's been tried and tested to work for them. While US is considered the melting pot of the world, her people are homogeneous in their sense of patriotism and social welfare.

The Nigerian government in itself is just an institutionalized extortion machine.

There's something unsettling about this, why does his race have to matter. I feel this tension in racial relations will never end until they see beyond the color of one's skin. I really don't see this as progress.
If his qualities or professional pedigree were at least highlighted.

I would why the Christians I know, take to their heels at the sound of gunshots. Maybe they're not good Christians.


Just kidding

LastProphet:
Yes he had answers for every atheist but what point has his death at incurable cancer shown? How has this type of death given boost to his message? The obvious sad truth is that his death is a minus to his beliefs and what he wanted us all to think. I was born a Christian but I know its limits just like every other religion. What I know is that there is a force out there and it ain't no man. No personality, no emotions, no attitude, just sheer raw power. If you read your history well and see what happened in the eyes of those that saw them you will know God has no time

His death is not a minus, Ravi always talked about death and suffering in his messages. Right from when God met him on the verge of suicide to his struggles with his health. Every Christian looks forward to the day they would meet their maker and those words, "Well done good and faithful servant..." will be their welcome.

oga 3RNEST, please would you do the favor of being an escrow for this deal with Kimply

BigTableShaker:
Thanks for the details bro, buh some are buying @425?!

It's just the pressure of demand and supply.
The CBN sets the rate and are supposed to supply the BDCs with enough fx, but if they can't keep up with the demand the prices go up.
So the scarcer fx gets, the more you'll have to pay for it. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that our earnings in $ has gone down and we import almost everything, everybody dey rush dollar.

BigTableShaker:
CBN buy at N360 and sells at N361/$.
https://www.cbn.gov.ng/rates/ExchRateByCurrency.asp

Yes, That is the official exchange rate, but you don't have access to that rate.
The CBN has about 2-3 fx windows. the 361/$ is basically the rate for export i.e crude, etc.
The current rate set for BDCs is 380, but good luck finding it at that rate.

BigTableShaker:
Oga, a dollar is N390.

That's the rate set by CBN for their fx window. You can't get it at that rate. Contact your local bdc

Please is it normal for it to take days before my shares reflect on the CSCS portal. I usually notice a day's delay but it's been at least 3 working days and the shares I bought on the 30th, May haven't reflected on their portal but it shows on my brokerage account.

Don't write what you don't know. Their stimulus is tax free.

Has anyone ever used trove to buy local stock. How reliable are they cos they don't give cscs number so how do I trace my stock or get my dividends as I am thinking of converting my dollars to naira and buying local stock from them for the first time instead of sending the money back to my account and back to my local broker. Please share your experience if you have done business on local stock with them

I would advise that you open an account with one of the Nigerian stockbroking firms, I use Morgan Capital bit there are others. It'll save you a lot of headaches.
I used Chaka and the app leaves much to be desired. Although they open a CSCS account and handle your dividend payments (I think), their charges are quite on the high side - most especially if you're buying by limit as opposed to market order. USD direct deposit takes 1 day and you can't withdraw your funds immediately after selling (both foreign and local stocks). These are the quirks I've observed. I might try the others and write a comprehensive review in future.

Evening house.
Please does GTB charge for intra-bank transfer to dorm accounts?
I want to load my Chaka account but their conversion rate is not favorable.

Also I saw some recommendation for Everdon BDC, please who has used them here and what are their charges like.

tuzle:
It is ignorance that will finish us in this country, I am sure some people still take these pandemic for a joke. it is when people start dying on the street before we will fully obey the sit at home instruction

You can only push a person for so long.
Realize that for some, this is how they survive - your stay at home is essentially a death sentence to those people.
The way I see it, they have nothing to lose: they don't go out, they die.

The case of the missing rice

Mindfuck.
I just lost some IQ points for reading this.

Some of these comments... Great article, the author wasn't writing against Kyari, rather he was writing against a attitude that we are all guilty of. A typical Nigerian wouldn't stand for what is right if it would adversely affect them. Maybe because we don't care, but mostly because of fear - fear to lose a job or other benefits.
