PoliticsRe: Are You Willing To Pay N178,000 Monthly For A 24-hour Electricity Supply? by monex(m): 6:06pm On Apr 04, 2024
aieromon:
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

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

PoliticsRe: Tinubu’s Government Raises Electricity Tariff From N66 To N225 Per KPH by monex(m): 11:22am On Apr 04, 2024
aieromon:
"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

TravelRe: Air Peace Staff Land In London In Ishiagu Attire, Sparking Outrage In Nigeria by monex(m): 7:50pm On Apr 01, 2024
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.

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.

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.
Car TalkRe: Peugeot 504 Price In 1975 Vs Price Of Bread In 2024 by monex(m): 1:03pm On Mar 13, 2024
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

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

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

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.

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.

He can tour all the wards he want, he isn't a bonafide PDP member, neither is he a local politician that us awarr of local issues.

He will be Ọbasẹki part 2.
has nothing to do with turn. I consider Akpata to be a better candidate than Rice Man. In fact I consider him better than the other candidates bar Asue. Edo isnt a stomach infrastructure state.

I listened to Asue's talks and it shocks me when you say he isnt aware of local issues.

What the hell does a local politician mean.

Obaseki is slow in execution but has made more strides than his predecessors in development. Brilliant ideas but slow execution is his bane. He is the first to pay higher than minimum wage and not owe civil servants or pensioners. My family in Agbede sings his praises for this alone

Weapons, including explosives and mortars, are discovered on the hospital premises.

A rocket was launched from Nasser Hospital at IDF troops.

- Hamas maintains a command room, intelligence and interrogation complex, and a police station at Nasser Hospital, according to the IDF.

This is no longer a Hospital. It is a Major terrorist Base
