they said he can't speak the language of his people, thats what me jm responding to.

I don't care if there is 1billion language in Edo. A leader must be able to speak the language of the people he wants to govern.
Simple as ABC.
If I care about Spanish people so much that I want to fix their problems through governance, I first need to be able to communicate with them in the language they understand well.

"the language of the people he wants to govern" would normally translate to "the most spoken language" in Edo state and that would be pidgin english.

I guess you mean "A leader must be able speak at least one of the many indigenous languages of the people he wants to govern".

Mami Chula is a much bigger resort, Landmark is like a mushroom business in comparison to Mami Chula yet Mr Ariyo is not blackmailing the federal government. The most worrying thing is that the victim mentality is eating deep into their younger generation.

Landmark is bigger than Mami chula

to be fair Landmark is an ecosystem bigger than the beach while Mami Chula has a masssive reliance on the beach

so this impacts Mami Chula more but dont say Landmark is a mushroom business compared to Mami Chula. You would sound disingenuous and it would cast aspersions on whatever else you rwote

Lies from the pit of hell
I was there live, Asue can't speak ishan
stop lying because of Obaseki 30k social media stipend

i dont know if Asue can speak Esan but I can most solemnly say that you are lying when you say you were there in Ewohimi live

NinjaMetahuman:
if you don't care enough to learn the language of the people you want to rule, what makes you think he will care enough for their plight?

Most of you just talk without thinking.

there are over 53 languages spoken in edo state.

How many will Asue learn?

how many languages does Peter Obi or Tinubu speak to want to rule Nigeria?

garfield1:


We have passed that stage now.i have introduced new discussions of the elections to show you how pdp are lagging behind.

ah ok. you didn't acknowledge (that you now understood that Monday isn't from the popular Okpebholo family) initially.

as for the elections, I noticed Asue is focusing more on intellectuals, young people and diaspora so I agree PDP are lagging behind in grassroots mobilisation.

Campaign proper only just started a few days ago though.

garfield1:

That is inconsequential.what they do in election day is what matters.politics is flexible
He will win Uromi,he got his biggest victory in that lga added to his ties to late Anenih.even in esan south east of ighodalo,APC is solid there.
Pdp has lost the great hon Adjoto to APC

bro you arent a robot na

I was correcting your statement that Monday is from the famous Okpebholo family. My response isnt incosequential to your original post

garfield1:


The obaseki family in 2020 supported iyamu.besides,Monday is from esan central not uromi.besides,Monday will still win that Uromi and perform very well in asue lga

I am simply saying that Monday is from a different Okpebholo family not the popular one

I dont know if he will win or not win uromi. that wasnt my point

garfield1:


Lol,which obaseki? There was no agreement oga.okpebholo and oshiomhole went to see umahi two weeks ago regarding this road.obaseki played no role here.even umahi already gave credit to okpebholo.obasrki is a failur

You mean this decision was taken two weeks ago and engineers moved to site within two weeks after such a decision was made.

Think bro. I know you are definitely smarter than your principal. Don't disappoint me.

I shared a link where Umahi gave direct credit and mentioned it is going to be a collaborative work

garfield1:


Obaseki was close to buhari.he could have done it but failed.he was busy signing fake MOUs.umahi just resumed work October so how could they have had a long battle? Stop conjuring tales

by long i mean back and forth. Over a course of some weeks.

garfield1:


Na proper esan man from famous okpebholo family,a godson to late anenih

the famous Okpebholo family are an Uromi family and they are backing Asue

garfield1:


Yet but sensible states still did federal roads because it is the most important roads in a state.why is otti doing federal roads? Cross river and akwa ibom are even doing the calabar itu that links them.at least oshiomhole did so much roads making it easy for obaseki

when you do federal roads, you have to obtain permission from the Ministry of works so you can recooup your costs.

There was a long running battle between Obaseki and umahi on this before it was resolved.

of course it had nothing to do with Okpebholo's visit.

It had already been agreed. There was lobbying (mixed with threats/blackmail) by Obaseki on Umahi regarding this road since last year and the ministry of works confirmed that they would commence this year.

You are academically challenged.

Can currency exchange to a dollar appreciate from 1800 to 1000, as an upward movement?

Is that not a downward appreciation?

Olodo!

Dont mind the guy. We all understood,

Note though that the correct terminology should have been " depreciated downwards to 1000". In currency pair trade, one currency has to be the commodity. In your write up, the commodity was clearly USD therefore it is USD that depreciated from 1800 NGN to 1000 NGN.

the downwards is also unnecessary as depreciation already means downwards.

Lol. Useless assumptions which is most times a coping mechanism for the attacker. Why so obsessed with the marital life of another when you have your own life to fix?

Between 2010-14, oil prices were sky high. That's why our GDP then was higher than it is now.

BY 2014, oil prices began falling, by the last days of GEJ , we was borrowing to pay salaries then.

So, the economy was not better under PDP. It was the effect of high oil prices.


BUT....

That does not excuse Buhari and tinubu.

Buhari in 2015 had two things that he needed to do...remove subsides, and float the naira. HE DID NEITHER. He also did not raise tax to gdp.

Here we are.

Also, Nigeria should have had a gdp of over a trillion dollars or more since 2009. That it did not ...shows how badly our economy was run.

If Jona had also removed subsides and floated the naira ...by 2014, that GDP would have been in excess oor even close to 1 trillion dollars or more

Our economy has always been sick because it relies on oyel money price.

you all protested against the removal of subsidies then. it was still going to take petrol price to less than 200

pocohantas:
Nobody can be an evening newspaper as you have rightly noted that the word is derogatory. Even worse that it most times comes from men who are unmarried themselves, but somehow clutch to that as the only means to put women down.

Using Nairaland as a case study, I am yet to see any of the forum's rules that says females must be married to have peace. So the obsession with the marital status of women on this site is unbecoming.

That said, marriage is a lifetime decision that can make or mar you. You should do it when you are prepared for it and with someone who wants it as much as you do. It is not for survival or change of status. If you die at 30, they will call it premature death. But you are alive and same people think you are too old for marriage.

People have different spec at different stages of their lives. Pick your own spec and shut up.

Nobody is an evening newspaper. If you are worried about single ladies/men, do well to marry one and help us reduce the population of singles. Anything less and you are an emptyheaded rabblerouser.

this girl lol

Well said. People make assumptions that everone wants marriage or that they want marriage at this point in their lives.

Evening newspaper is as derogatory as they come as it doesnt even conote "old" but rather "expired'.

Monday Okpebholo has two date of birth in his biographies online. One 1962 (62 years) and the other 1970 (54 years). none of that makes him a youth

Some Nigerians are actually wicked more than the politicians

On a normal market, Naira gaining or loosing about goods and services should at least take a month before taking effects. Because those business people always have stocks that can last at least 1 month with no exaggeration.

But in Nigeria, the same day the dollar rose is the same day they will increase their price without interested in bringing it down again even when dollar fall.

Average Nigerians are opportunists

The customs exchange rate is still high though. currently 1238.179

your BDC rate has no effect on prices of good if import rates are still using a high exchange rate

Didn’t Israel strike first?

Yes Israel was the aggressor here however Israel might have escaped any UN sanctions based on technicalities:

Israel and Syria are currently at war (been at war since 1948)
International law forbids the host state from any aggression against an embassy building and not a third party. Israel was a third party
While Israel did not officially confirm responsibility for the attack, their statement implied that they considered the building to be a military building in Syria: "a military building of Quds Forces disguised as a civilian building in Damascus". This helps to escape the rule of attack on civilian buildings.

cl0r0x:


So military generals can hide in a consulate, commanding hezbollah, houthis, kathib hezbollah to attack isreal. The isrealis are indeed so patient.

Is a consulate a warzone? What were generals and 13 military officers doing in a consulate?

a consulate is a country's territory. Bombing the iranian consulate is like bombing Iran

Let's look at the facts on ground.

House 1
Power load = 2000W
Average of 20hrs/day gives 600 hours in a 30 day calendar month.
Power consumption = 2kW * 600h = 1200kWh
Cost of power consumed = ₦225 * 1200 = ₦270,000

House 2
Power load = 2000W
Power is generated using a 2.5 kVA petrol generator. Running wattage is 2000W.
Fuel efficiency = 1.1litres/hour (15 litres in 14 hours at 50% load - generator will consume more if we increase the load but let us stick with this for the purpose of this comparison)
For House 2 to generate 600hrs in a month requires 660L of PMS.
At ₦560/litre, House 2 will spend a sum of ₦369,600 in an attempt to replicate power supply from DISCOs. Maintenance cost has not been factored in these calculations.



A lot of small scale businesses spend up to ₦178,000 monthly running petrol generators.

Power is not cheap!

once you factor in economies of scale e.g. a 500-apartment estate, you will see why diesel is actual cheaper than PHCN

ivolt:
Iran will likely attack the Israeli embassy in Iraq as a retaliation.

Embassy means there are diplomatic relations between the two countries. Iran and Israel are sworn enemies.

There is no Israeli embassy in Iran. Iran does not recognise the State of Israel.

World without Islam is blindness, backwardness, ignorance

Who told you Iran is protecting Islam interests? Go and read how IRCG was formed, it was a group backed by America to execute Iran revolution which served US interest. Now IRCG has shifted the alignment to Russia that is what is causing Issues. All these wars here and there are not about religion (get that to your ignorance skull) it an extension war of World Power Tussle between US/NATO and Russia with its allies.
What Isreal is currently doing for US, Iran did more to fight US enemies. So Isreal should enjoying it while it last.

This is entirely false. The IRCG was formed as part of the Iranian revolution with an anti American and anti-Israel objective.

IRGC has always being designated as a terrorist organisation by the US from inception.

Saudi Arabia also considers the IRGC a terrorist organisation even though it is actually part of the iranian armed forces

ivolt:

"Poor man" has never enjoyed electricity, they have only benefited from dirt cheap power. If you must enjoy, prepare to pay a premium cost.



Compare with NITEL and the GSM revolution.

my estate uses 198 NGN per Kwh with barely 4 hours of nepa and the remaining 20 hrs funded by diesel.

What this price regime has done is to make many communities and estates source for their power themselves via diesel or gas as they are both cheaper than the PHCN price.

this is a good time for gas and diesel suppliers
