Jokes taken too far . Where would the state get the money from if the basic salary is N600k.

Well may be na typor error sha, it could be N61,500

This na gaslighting things jor

it is not much considering your purchasing power parity today

cococandy:
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

madridguy:
Only ignorant Nigerians believe Israel is a Christian country. We have said countless times, instead to accept the fact they would rather be fighting you.

many Nigerian Christians know Israel is a Jewish country. I just think they have some sort of soft spot for Judaism.

ivolt:
So you don't know that Iraq is different from Iran?

same for Iraq. Iraq does not recognise the state of Israel

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.

Lanre1st:
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:
Iran will likely attack the Israeli embassy in Iraq as a retaliation.

There is no Israeli embassy in iran.

Embassies signify diplomatic relations. Iran does not recognise the state of Israel.

"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

helinues:
Those who have been paying tithes for years without getting tithes refund, not even when they are not paying tax should ease on the government.

Isn't also time to question the tithes you have been paying for years?

I dont believe in the modern concept of tithing but tithes are not paid to seek returns

Good one, by end of May dollar will be 500 to naira in Jesus name.

Amen

seunmsg:
Exactly. There is no outrage anywhere. All the tweets I’ve seen about the attire are from Igbo handles trying to make an issue out of nothing. I barely saw two or three tweets complaining about the attire but I’ve seen over 1k tweets trying to defend whatever it is they are defending.

For the avoidance of doubt, there is no Yoruba person that is outraged by the attire. When next I’m going to London, I will fly Air Peace because it’s a Nigerian brand. Im completely cool with the attire. What matters is safety and a smooth flight to UK.

Bro it was crazy on instagram. A lot of misguided folks. Tribalism remains our biggest bane. i saw comments using IJN to pray the ariline crashes

They said they should wear an attire that encompasses three Nigerian tribes forgetting that there is no such traditional attire. AirPeace actually plans to rotate the materials across many african materials. You would see Adire and all sorts later even kente.

God1000:
Yes, humanity first before religion.


I've made my choice to speak against evil and I will live with it, I have no regret.

You are an agent of darkness spreading hate and falsehood on daily basis.

You need serious deliverance man.

Ignore that bigoted joker called unRighteousness

Wainey:
most of these people bought at N1800 to a dollar, they will have to sell off their products.

Btw, I expect the real value of the naira to be around 800

around 700 based on our balance of trade

softtorce:
How come Lagos is nowhere to be found on the list ?

Lagos actually tops that list but Nigeria considers state of origin to be the state one's father was from rather than the state one was born and has lived in.

A significant percentage of the south-west, south-east and south-south numbers there are Lagosians.

God1000:
Finally, Israel is losing western support due to the high-handedness of recalcitrant netanyahu


He needs to step down as Israeli prime minister, he's an obstacle to peace between Israel and Palestine

this was bound to happen. Likud are a party of hardliners

Konquest:
That's impressive.

But then again, attending several ivy league educational institutions does NOT mean that some CEOs have the capacity to lead financial and non-financial corporate organizations.

We saw this in the lead up to the massive collapse of top U.S. banks such as Lehman Brothers and even the energy company Enron whose CEOs and other executives had MBAs from Harvard University and more.

The ability to manage men and resources is key in any organization while generating value for clients and a good ROI for the organization. Period.

she isnt a graduate of those ivy league. She only attended some courses.

I agree her resume is kinda strong but think her professional qualifications and experience (rather than academic) are the strongest part of her resume. most top management executives have done the Harvard AMP. She isn't a graduate of Harvard. her doctorate from Apollos University is a mushroom doctorate. I have assisted someone with a doctorate from this university and what the person did was equivalent to the rigor of running an online survey. Her LLM from Salford was the one via Robert Kennedy college (1 year online) which has very little admission entry barrier or rigor. Her first degree from Jos and MBA from Unical are the main academic part of her resume.

God1000:
I don't support such retaliation but actions have consequences.


People should refrain from violent activities and senseless killing of others.


Meanwhile anybody supporting Israel to wipe out the entire people of Gaza doesn't have any right to criticize our military.

indeed. you cannot support Israel mass killings for the actions of a few thousands and still say Nigeria military should only exert proportionate revenge.

similar you cannot be pro-Palestine within the context of Israel's retaliation and be supporting Nigeria military to punish the entire community.

seborrhic:
You people compare prices over the years like illiterates.
What was the salary in 1975?

minimum wage was 60 naira per month while a Pegeout 504 was 1500. this means you can use two years of your minimum wage salary to buy a car

today minimum wage is 30,000 while the equivalent car costs 30,000,000 meaning it would take you 83 years of your minimum wage salary to buy a car.

your purchasing power parity today is a mess. We are orders of magnitude poorer

atiku4President:
Wow. And the same man hated his brother who was his President and carried all kind of propaganda against GEJ. He channeled 99% of CBN developmental and corporate social responsibility projects to the North and his Northern brothers when he was CBN governor. Yet when he's in trouble, the Southerners will come to his rescue. Karma will keep haunting them one by one.

you people should realise that friendship and familial bonds are stronger than your ronu and ipob bonds

aswani:
Have you listened to Asuẹn speak in Ishan?

A local politician is someone based in the state, living amongst the people and has been in local politics in one form or the other for a whle.

A local politician is not someone that was not a member of PDP three months ago or that comes to the state and leaves the same day on his private jet except during Campaigning.

Compare Akpakomezer, who isn't my choice anyway, to Asuẹn to know who is local and who is being parachuted into the state.

oh I now understand your definition of local politician.

It however has little bearing on ability to govern except he should also learn benin, igara, owan, and etsako

God will defend Israel from HIMself

What are you saying? Do we import petrol? It will only go up if petrol is imported. This is our own mineral resource and it has no business with dollar price. Hope you understand now?

people will stay stupid things on social media with a lot of confidence

omoadeleye:
Everyone region with their specific trade.

The North has comparative advantage in illegal tablets like codeine, trams and so on

The South Easterns are known for hard drugs (they either go hard or go home)

The South westerns only deal with cannabis sativa (do small term and leave prison)

this was a hard drug (cocaine)

OGHENAOGIE:
and who says oshiomole as party man wont back him? Besides APC wants to win Edo state so they ll settle differences.. as far as Edo elections is concerned LP ll just come third... Obaseki is pulling weight for Ighodalo and u can' see how ruthless he has been with shiabu his deputy.. APC candidate is a senator and thorough politician so what's akpata antecedents... Apart from banking on LP popularity last president polls... LP doesn't have the cloat PDP APC has in Edo state

I have agreed with you already. Note that we both condition this on Oshiomole backing Akpakomiza

OGHENAOGIE:
did u really type that akpata have chance than APC candidate.. u think this is president polls where pple were swayed by obi mania , APC is stronger as a party in Edo state and APC Guy is from Esanland akpata from Edo south as obaseki stand no chance plus LP is just a small Party that ll come Third..

If Oshiomhole does not back the APC guy then he would struggle with Edo north votes.

I agree though that I am overestimating LP. Their victory in presidential elections in Edo state was more due to Obi than an clout or grassroot LP has

Beolly:
I thought they said they don't practice tribalism in Edo State, why should his inability to speak the language be an issue?? When Yoruba people said GRV can't speak the language some people said it's not necessary and tagged it tribalism.

So the LP candidate having a Yoruba name is also an issue? There are people from Akoko Edo who speak and bear Yoruba name. I hope when others do the same thing nobody would complain.

Those things don't matter in Edo. The guy is just canvassing for his APC candidate. Akpata has a stronger chance than the APC guy sef.

The advantage of the APC guy is Oshiomhole's stronghold in Etsako but that still depends on them quickly mending fences with Oshiomole.

Mynd44:
Heathrow or Gatwick?
Lets know so Nigeria can decide if will be applying policy of reciprocation and divert all BA flights to Ilorin, Akure, Asaba or Maiduguri

hehehe this guy.

una nor wan gree

It would be Gatwick most likely. I really hope it is Heathrow

Benwallt:
Same you that was screaming hell when APC produced 3 candidates. We indeed get the leaders we deserved. When it happens in your team, let's cover it but when it happens in the other team, let's blow it

APC was quite different bro. APC executives and NWC and the electoral committee members disagreed. Thugs came to disrupt the primaries. Didnt you see why it was cancelled and rescheduled.

in PDP, there was no parallel primaries. Shuaibu just announced himself in his backyard. Dude is a comedian. All the other candidates, INEC, PDP NWC, PDP State executives, delegates were at Ogbe stadium. Shuaibu is looking for them to appease him but it seems he is now looked at with disdain and mockery by his boss.
