Politics / Re: Electoral Fraud: 2 Minors Nabbed With Ballot Papers Stuffed In Bag by MrFord1: 7:26pm On Apr 13, 2015
Quite shocking how the total numbers of voters in the gubernatorial election exceeds that of the presidential election in Lagos even with the low turnout of voters.

The corruption in Nigeria has since been systematic even before the present government. It is at all levels of government. Most employees of the government and the private sector are concerned about what to take home daily.

This can't be coming from the general. The present democratic system has not turned one of world's largest crude exporters into an importer of petrol. Nigeria has been importing petrol before 1999. The general knows that.

Politics / Re: Buhari And Obasanjo's Tenure More Corrupt Than GEJ Tenure - TI by MrFord1: 9:06am On Feb 13, 2015
It could be true. We think GEJ's administration is the most corrupt because we see the financial scandals in media. During the military era, one can not just bring up such scandals in the media. The military will come for the person.

Phones / Re: BBM vs Whatsapp: Which Is Better? by MrFord1: 9:24pm On Oct 23, 2013
From all the post so far, Whatsapp seem to have better features and can be found on so many mobile platforms. BBM on the other hand is more secure because of the PIN concept. Trying to be objective here, as applications, Whatsapp is still ahead off BBM. (From the posts so far, we await more)

They are both ok. Whatsapp is for people you know and BBM for people you don't know. I prefer Google Hangouts and Skype to both.

Nice development, but Fash Baba should not have talked about tax, anything tax is discouraging. Or does he not want people to patronise the hotel ni, that should have been a private talk with the hotel management.

Politics / Re: Lagos To Get Five Power Plants By 2014 by MrFord1: 5:16pm On Sep 25, 2013
ogb5: Fashola is the best !

I wish all those useless politicians can emulate our hardworking, resourseful and progressive Fashola.

Is it easy to generate 47.35MW of electricity? You people should praise our dear Fashola.

Lets put what he has done in simple mathematics so that the enemies of progress can see in clear terms what achievement we are talking about here.

These plants when completed in 1 year's time will generate a whole 47.35MW of Electricity
Lagos needs 10, 000 MW what of Electricity as at today.

47.32/10,000 *100% = 0.4735% of the requirement of Lagos. So these power plant will provide about 0.5% of the power requirement of lagos. Not a bad achievement by any measure, we only have 99.5% more to go.

Another good achievement is the speed at which the projects will be completed. Just one year.

If it takes only one year to complete 47.35MW project, at this rate, lets calculate how long it will take to complete projects that will generate the required 10,000 MW. Well that will be

10,000/47.35*1= 211 years

So in Two Hundred and Eleven yrs (211) only we would have been able to generate 10,000MW. Fashola is truely a wonderful legend.

Please tell all your governors to emulate Fashola, we will solve our power problems in only 211 yrs

Yeye dey smell
Best post on this thread. Good logical conclusion
Phones / Re: Tecno N7, F7, Gionee E3, G2 Gpad & Infinix 450: Which Phone Is The Best One? by MrFord1: 2:35pm On Sep 01, 2013
Go for HUAWEI Ascend P series. They are the best of cheap android phones. 4G, 13MP, quad core, water proof, shatter proof, dust proof and much more.
Politics / Re: Ogun Plans Africa Tallest Building by MrFord1: 2:13pm On Aug 17, 2013
The project is a very good idea. Ogun State is not financing the project. The state government has little or nothing to loose on the project.

Culture / Re: The "Mazi" Title In Igbo Society by MrFord1: 8:40pm On Jul 15, 2013
T-Wallpapers:
The title Mazi Originated from Arochukwu as early as the sixteenth century. They were the foremost igbos to use the term Mazi as a way of referring to any male whose Father is no longer alive. Even if you're 70 years and your father is alive, you will never be called Mazi; that's the tradition.

Secondly I think any other community that uses the title Mazi may be Aro's in diaspora. As widely knowm, there are over 100 aro in diaspora communities scattered all over Nigeria even in the north.

Very correct.
Politics / Re: FG To File Defence In Lekki-ikoyi Bridge Suit by MrFord1: 1:57pm On Jul 11, 2013
The emphasis on tax in Nigeria is just too much. There are countries where Income Tax and Capital Gain Tax are not paid. Western Countries with strict tax policies at least give back to their unemployed citizens but here nobody cares.

There are also illegal tax and levy collection going on in some places. Isolo local government is an example. Their officials go around asking offices and even limited liability company in Isolo to pay Office Space levy (which is same as business premises levy to be paid to the state government) and some other taxes which these companies are to pay to Lagos State SIRS. Even the companies that had paid to the SIRS, are threatened to pay their own version or risk lock up. In tax matters limited liability companies are to deal with the federal and state governments strictly.

Depend on the type of viewing centre, the area it is located and the kind of people one meets there. Prefer to sit at home and watch than get my head broken at a viewing centre. Once saw someone stabbed at a viewing centre.

I think Akpabio is the best governor in the country. He took his people back to school, stopping majority from being house helps that they were well known for. I have been to Akwa Ibom before he became governor, I know what the state was like then.
