Politics / Re: Mayor of Brampton, Patrick Brown Praises Lagos Under Tinubu At Obi’s Event by Montaque(m): 9:31am On May 06 |
I know who is better equipped to tell me about Nigeria. A diplomat that he is, and funds available to him, can get premium comfort in highbrow areas in Nigeria. He probably would have stayed in VI, or Lekki or Ikoyi or Banana Island during his visit. Such experience must definitely be a good one. Due to the location of his visit and duration, it will be rare for him to have experienced power failure, bad roads, water scarcity, police brutality, armed robbery, fuel scarcity, official corruption, etc. Even, a lot of Nigerians who live in those high brow places don't even know how bad things are right now, not to talk of a foreigner on a short visit. So please, lets be real 1 Like |

Politics / Re: I Did Not Promise To Build New Schools - Peter Obi Replies Reno (Video) by Montaque(m): 5:03pm On Apr 24 |
Anambra State is not like most States. This is one State that you will hardly have need of a new public school, because every community and Village in the State have primary and secondary schools. Same way every community and village have a catholic church/Anglican church in it. Take Onitsha for instance, that has up to 10 Secondary Schools with boarding houses that were in existence from the 60s and even beyond. Like my own secondary school which was set up in the 30s by white missionaries. It will be a misplaced priority today for ANSG to embark on building a new secondary school in places like Onitsha, or Ogidi, or Awka, or Nkpor, or Oba, or Nnewi. Because these places have many schools that were created even before Anambra State became a State. The best the Government can do is to improve the service of existing schools or expand their facilities for more intake. This is because almost every parents want their child to attend the "big schools" in Onitsha, Oba and Nnewi. Even till today, most parents from outside Anambra have their wards in boarding houses in Anambra Schools. In Anambra today, Private secondary schools are almost non existence. Because they cant compete with the quality in public schools. I was in College when Mbadinuju was Governor, then Ngige became Governor, and then Peter Obi at the time I was leaving secondary school. During Ngige/Peter Obi's time, all the public schools in the state were remodelled and better managed in a partnership between the ANSG and the Missions that set them up. The evidence is what we see today. Every national exam for secondary school students, (Common Entrance, Unity School Entrance Exam, Cowpedia, WAEC, NECO, JAMB, or NDA), you will always find a student from Anambra in the first 10. That for me is the issue that is worth discussing - RESULTS. No one can deny results from Anambra's secondary educational system 3 Likes |

Education / Re: Parents, Doctors' Negligence contributed to Sylvester Oromoni's Death - Coroner by Montaque(m): 11:01am On Apr 16 |
How? A boy that is in Boarding school. How are the parents expected to know his daily activities in school? I don't like that this matter when to the Coroner. Now the issue has been made worse. The parents should just commend the matter to natural justice. The boy's spirit should seek for those that wronged him, if he was truly wronged while alive. 1 Like |

Business / Re: Can't Send Dollars To Nigeria Any More by Montaque(m): 2:07pm On Feb 09 |
Tareq1105: 1. We need to produce locally. Tackle security so that farmers can go to farm. Role out credit for farmers and introduce policies that encourage everyone to farm. OBJ did it when civil servants were forced to own a garden or farm cooperatives. 2. Stabilise electric supply, especially to industries. We need to ramp up our production lines to the point of sufficiency. Introduce new industries (till now, we don't have companies that produce computers, phones, electronics). Let us produce in mass. 3. Those things that we produce locally, lets us ban their importation. As of today, we should stop importation of footwear and already-made-clothes because we produce them here. I was surprised that okirika sellers are also looking for $ to buy bale of clothes, whereas we can make them locally. These are my thoughts. What the CBN is doing now is treating symptoms, instead of the disease. Because if they succeed, the three items above will still drag people to be looking for $ to buy goods from abroad, instead of locally producing it. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hohaiiiode:There has never been a time the CBN fulfilled all its Form M obligations. Do you know that the BDCs (before Emefiele banned them) used to give $ to federal government agencies to settle their fx obligations? Check most paid apps on your phone and laptops, you need a $ card to pay for them. Then foreign education, holidays and medicare; you cant do these without $. There is always a demand for $ in Nigeria, to pay for a lot of things ranging from the legal and illegal matters. Even government offices in Nigeria charge their fee in $, example Nimasa and NPA. Nigerians will not stop looking for $ and CBN can never meet all local demands for $. Moreso, this Policy can be sidestepped by Nigerians opening a fx account in say Ghana and receiving IMTO payments through it. So, to counter your position, the inflow of $ into the economy will reduce, whereas the local $ demand remains constant or even increase. The black market cannot disappear. No this and know peace. Not that I have anything to gain from their existence, but a lot of Nigerians are global individual, they will always need $ for their day to day business. Its like saying you will phase out POS operators in your street because we have Bank ATM everywhere. I just hope CBN knows what they are doing here. They should sha test the waters and recant if it will hurt the economy further. 2 Likes |
Sports / Re: AFCON Q/finals: "Bring Them" - Angola Dares Super Eagles by Montaque(m): 12:23pm On Jan 29 |
superCleanworks: Honestly, we are facing a tough opponent there. Angola plays fast paced football. All their goals are surprised touches, and fast too. Our defenders need to tame their point man - Gelson Dala. There is this other one on dreads - Mogolunlu. Our defenders need to mark them properly. Thankfully, Angola defence no too strong. They conceded two easy goals in the qualifiers. I hope SE wins this one. I will be rest assured after beating them |

Family / Re: Please How Do I Handle This With My Wife And Her Brother. by Montaque(m): 5:36pm On Jan 10 |
I will speak for the future of this matter. I am married and I have seen things like this happen. Do not hinder the gift (car) coming to your wife through your brother in law. Release the money and face your front. If you don't, the brother will still buy the car (he already has 3.5m) without you and you will be the enemy. Not just to your in-laws, but to the woman living with you. That is a dangerous trend. Assuming if the brother fails to buy the car (after you refused to release the money), your wife will never forget that you blocked her gift from manifesting (her brother will never be guilty in her eyes). You don't want to be seen as a blessing-blocker. Apply wisdom here. 1 Like |
Car Talk / Re: Problem: My Reverse Gear Gives A Scary Jerk With A Sound. by Montaque(m): 7:15pm On Dec 25, 2023 |
Dozieson: Just seen your comment. I don't know what to say but lets just thank God. I visited the mechanic on 22nd December. He changed the cup and the driver side bearing at the same time. He changed them with tokunbo ones. I noticed that he came with two sets of bearing, tested both and selected one of it as fitting for the cup. Then installed them. After that, the car drove well. On 23rd, I left for Onitsha. On the way after Ore, the vibration started again, and this time it was very noticable. I drove it on low speed till I reached onitsha. Still in the east. I have called the mechanic to complain. He has nothing helpful. I will look for another mechanic here And see what can be done. It's even worse than it was before the repairs. Only thing is that it doesn't sound "gbi" when you change gear. That happens smoothly. Just that if your accelerate, the car vibrates like if the propeller is irregular (not circular). |

I had this issue on my Corolla 2007. Also, when i engage any gear from park position, it will make the sound - "gbi". The mechanic said its the shaft cups. That i need to change the bearings on both driver and passengers' side. I plan to do the work when i get money. |
