Obiagelli: i bet they have stopped vandalising those pipelines, my only prayer is that they don't resume in the dry season.To you guys, vandalisation of them pipelines is abstract, it's just an excuse govt gives for electricity being worse than usual. For some of us, it's real, sleepless nights, increased stress levels, less time with your family, the whole nine yards.See ehn, If the ELPS pipeline is vandalised the ripples are felt all the way in Ghana and it's not even just the Power sector that's affected. All this talk about improved power is subjective tbh*, that you have light for xx hours more than before cannot be proof of improvement as long as the guy in the next state(or even street) had light for xx hours less than before. Politicians (on all sides) need to stop with the fake and empty rhetoric and let the professionals do their job. *It's better to measure progress by the total quantum of power generated. |
Obiagelli: unfortunately they are too related.I dont agree , interestingly enough, politics is the main problem of the power sector in Nigeria.if you really want to understand how the power sector in Nigeria works there are a lot of people on NL that can help but somehow it seems you just want to take potshots. |
Firefire: Finger pointing by anyone accusing anybody of vandalizing gas pipeline without any empirical evidence to showChairman, it's not that easy o... With crude oil pipelines, vandals usually want to siphon the crude into another container and sell, this takes time and they need to be careful while doing this. My guess is that it would take hours to achieve this. With gas pipelines, vandals simply want to destroy the pipeline, you locate the pipeline put explosives and vamoose before detonating it. Care to estimate how long it would take? |
Obiagelli: you mean promises like this?I assumed you were interested in discussing Power not Politics...my bad. |
Obiagelli: rain was high when? The rain started around May, it takes time to fill the dams. Obiagelli: i am quite sure it started fully in May, anyway the dry season is almost here. I hope they sustain their "gas supply" then.Hey... your ascribing the improvement to rain isn't entirely correct, for one thing(heck I'm not even sure the black rains have come this year), our hydro capacity hasn't increased in years but the electricity consumers steadily and constantly increase. If you've looked at GEJs power sector reform roadmap (particularly rev 1) you will see that there are a lot of gas projects that were scheduled to be delivered last year and this year, that's the cause.You should have noticed that the minister of power is promising improved power next month, it's probably because there are more projects(upgrades as well as greenfield projects) coming on stream. Our hydro plants are an integral part of our grid but let's not ignore the fact that things are changing in the power sector...slowly, yes but we aren't where we used to be. |
Did only one test and one interview. was scared as hell of the new test writing craze when I finished service, didn't even write a CV till near the end. Got my first job through someone I worked with during my IT, shitty salary (30K). Wrote a test for my current place and did well, had one interview, did well too and got employed. |
temi4fash: No sir... I didn't sirmailed you, gmail addy begining with S. Email me if it isn't correct. |
temi4fash: Una neva marry she don dai run u mamiwater package... As my friends wuld say.. But man gat to do wat he gat to do...Did you get it? |
Johnnywheels: Thanks bro.. I Really appreciate your response. So in other words, a mifi device is significantly faster than a modem?They are built to deliver data at faster speeds. But the koko of what you're asking is will they be faster than a gsm modem? The answer isnt that simple. It depends on the congestion in your area on both netowrks, the isps themselves and a host of other things. However, Since you want a definite answer I will give you one, the mifi is likely to be faster but it will still have it's down days. |
5minsmadness: She wants me to help her with her target. Mine isn't complete. She wants me to put hers first.this phrase switches me off... |
it depends on the ISP, the networks that offer Mifis are capable of offering faster speeds and usually do where you have such networks but then they can be just as frustrating as your GSM providers. |
maclatunji: Imagiine what the comments would have been if the thread's tite had read: "Oba of Ikorodu gets Christian Burial".care to expatiate? |
: in my neck of the woods we get like 15 hours of light everday |
@Francistony there's an old scam where the aim is to get you to call a premium number (the charges are usu shared between the telco and the company leasing the line...same as those SMS sort codes e.g. text win to 2222 et al). That could be what happened to you. P.S. why are you female all of a sudden? |
TheBigUrban2: lies...it rained today in most partsCould it be that her definition of beauty dont not depend on the presence (or absence) of rain? Just asking... I feel you though, I was in Lagos and it rained most of the day |
EfemenaXY: ^^ It can and it does.hopefully it will make it easier for me to cook my own meals... ![]() when I get one I will most def hit you ladies up for cooking tips... |
RoyalRoy: Lolllz. I actually penciled it down too. Hate frying like I hate drinking cold water.If it can fry plantain easily and produce chicken like the pics Chili posted I've already gotten it mehhnnnn @Efe thanks a lot, I've looked it up on google, it's a bit pricey though. I'm trying to convince myself to splurge. |
@Chilli and Efe Can that thing fry the plaintain automatically? as in, I dont need to stay and turn the plantain myself? (aka one less reason to get married ) |
ihedinobi2: I agree. If it does not mess with your spiritual equilibrium or distract you from your responsibilities, keeping friendships across genders can be beneficial. If it does, it's a very bad idea to get involved.When you genuinely enjoy some peoples company(it could be due to the good conversations or any other appropriate reasons) there will be a tendency for you to seek them out, that's what I mean by inevitable. Closeness has degrees and shades though, I'm not in support of calling everyday and spending all your time and money on members of the opposite sex when there is no romantic interest at stake. A friend I got close to in my final year(I dont know who did canopy ministry for who...lol ) said a lot of Christian relationships end with parties getting hurt because Christians tend to put in more effort into bonding since the typically quickest method(sex) is off-limits. I think that's something to be careful of, we as Christians need to guard our hearts diligently. |
EfemenaXY: Just because the mother didn't breathe a word to brother Krall doesn't mean she wasn't aware of him fantasizing helplessly about her. So rather than cause a scene, she did the mature thing and simply ignored him. EfemenaXY: So the preference is for nursing mothers to feed their vulnerable babies in dark, urine soaked corners and alleyways? Infact, after reading this, I strongly advocate for all brėästfeeding mums to do their stuff in the open, where there's lots of fresh air. For those who are offended, they'd better dig deep into their pockets and rally round for a sanitized mother and baby unit to be created in all public places!What you have chosen to believe is abundantly clear, I'll leave you to it...bye. |
I now see what guys refer to when they say you are guilty because you are a man...Chilli and efe, you guys are mean @Efe most naija churches let mothers with babies seat in a particular section, I imagine it's for this reason(and maybe crying babies). you totally ignored the fact that the woman could have done things differently and picked on the OP, heck it seems like as far as you're concerned he could do no right. Being present when women are breastfeeding is a bit uncomfy for most guys (me inclusive). Our responses differ but that doesn't make it any less uncomfy. @OP you sef...your descriptions...lol. |
ihedinobi2: So there's this thing I'd like us to discuss. It may seem a little bit frivolous but it's a major paradigm considering that it affects the very foundation of human society - marriage itself.Personally I think as long as it doesn't affect your relationship with Christ, or distract you from your responsibilities then it's all right. Closeness to people of the opposite sex is inevitable, how people wan take marry na? We should strive to ensure we enjoy the experience and at the same time only do things we can be proud of as Christians(yep, that's a major caveat). It's good to be able to think back on your past relationships(official or otherwise) and have no regrets. If a guy likes a girl, it's up to him to walk up to her and enquire is she's taken or not(he can also ask around if liver no reach). I dont see any point in blaming some other guy for your lack of action/liver...lol. Why we even have a possible case of friendzoning is going on right on this thread sef: Brother dagr8 seems to currently be in the process of being preemptively friendzoned or something like that by Sister(?) salC (make una no mind me o...na joblessness cause am...lol) |
ihedinobi2: @the last paragraph, it's a bit of an oxymoron to say that one can be so heavenly minded that they're useless on earth. If you have the interests of Heaven at heart, you will be very productive on earth as well. That's because Heaven is focused on earth. The current activity of the Heavens is the re-creation of the earth so if any man is truly interested in heaven and focused on heaven, they will leave a powerful mark on earth as a result.you have a point, it's one of those phrases that sound good but cant withstand scrutiny. |
An0nimus: You know, I've always thought about this, how messed up our political sphere is and how we can "be the change we want to see" probably in an official position than sitting ducks and praying some miracle happens. But then again Its almost impossible for Christians to be true and still remain in politics. Its like one MUST compromise at some point. I just weak finally.Mennnn that your last phrase is somehow, what do you mean by minding your business and being only kingdom minded? It seems like playing Ostritch to me. If as Christians we expect to show God to the worlld then we cannot hide from the same world. As far as politics goes, I'm off the opinion that since Joseph and Daniel were able to serve in Government then Christians dont have any excuse not to. Temptations occur in all professions and spheres, let's not make moreout of politics than there really is. Yes it probably will be difficult seeing that lying and a whole host of other sins seem to be part and parcel of the whole shindig but that's why we have the spirit of God, to teach us all things. Saying that all politicians must lie(or sin) is like saying that there is only one programming language you can use to build a website. One more thing though, Ihedinobi2 mentioned something about trading your testimony for acclaim and acceptance, it's a real risk. You need to be able to tolerate(with Gods help) being disliked for doing the right thing as a Christian in politica, you are in the world but not of it. You have a different goal and a different master. There is such a thing as being so heavenly minded that you're useless here on earth. |
@ihedinobi2 and thebigurban2 are you guys really having this conversation/argument? Kai...smh |
Joelaking: please get me the link to the page.http://www.pmi.org/Professional-Development/REP-Find-a-Registered-Education-Provider.aspx |
Joelaking: Please fellow nairalanders, I want to inquire about PMP. International certification acquisition in Nigeria. Is it possible I get the certification without attending the trainings because I know the training will be very costly. Please anyone with the breakdown structureContact hours are compulsory for you to take the hours, you can only get them by either attending a training by a registered provider (there's a list on the PMI website). An alternative is to use an online course provider but it still has to be registered. There a different providers with different charges, some offer periodic discounts. Talk to a few of them first, dont conclude that it will be too expensive. P.S. how much is too much for self development? |
FrancisTony: You are not wrong Sir. Here looks cool because it's just a chatbox.Na to limit my waka here be that now...thanks for the heads up. |
Mazi_Omenuko: Trolleys aren't free at the airport! You pay for them; imagine paying for a trolley? That's how bad things are at the airport. The shameless FAAN don't even consider it inhumane to exploit travelers!naija is not the only country where you pay for trolleys. |
@Ihedinobi2 no worries. Of which, I dont like the film (Bruce Almighty) in any way, shape or form (Jim Carey's form of comedy doesn't appeal to me). That scene just struck a chord with me. Once God says it, it comes into being, it doesn't matter whether it defies logic or not. this is a 23 second clip of the scene, it's the scene where Jim Carey character is playing how many fingers am I holding behind my back with the "God" character and Jim tries to be smart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sE1IsAPK90 if you cant view the video, this is what happens after. http://www.moviefancentral.com/images/pictures/review56017/jim-carrey-7-fingers.jpg |
uj_sizzle: So long there aren't shirtless men in it, I'm good.Thanks...I wrongly assumed the religion section in NL was all about pointless arguments. I have learnt otherwise so... My story (it's an anti-climax) I work in manufacturing so the ratio of men-to-women is something in the order of 30 to 1. in fact most of the women in my plant are married(like 90%). To make things worse, we're located in a rural area so it's safe to assume we're a group of very lustful men...lol. For some reason, we needed to get an interpreter and here comes along this hot girl(or lady if you will), she's been working with us on or off since november. Early this year we run into each other at the estate and we get talking and somewhere along the line she mentions that engineers are "pervs" (her words not mine). She said she had worked with two engineering companies(one in lagos) and it was the same experience. Scene 2, we were discussing another day(like most translators she's very friendly) and I asked why she wore her hair the way she did and she says her church doesn't subscribe to processing hair, we talk a bit further and I get she's not into make up and all that but she believes in looking good(she complained about us constantly giving her ugly uniforms...lol). From the discussion I can tell she believes in God beyond the sunday, sunday schedule that a lot of us subscribe to. Scene 3, In April, it was her final day(or one of them) and she was walking past and one of the technicians she was working with was telling her bye through the glass windows, after they finished talking he kept staring, I had been behind him throughout the entire episode and the bros didn't notice me, we sha used him to "cure" in the office as per it's bosoms you were looking at throughout the whole time she was here, you didn't learn anything that's why the equipment is still spoiling, one of the senior engineers let's call him John, now remarks that Jane girl sef, she will now pack the thing very well, she knows what she is doing, someone now tells him to calm down, he now continues, twice I've given her larger uniforms so that her breasts will not be that obvious but she doesn't wear them. The babe is at least a D-cup and she wears medium t-shirts. (all this was light-hearted banter) End of story. Now I dont think she is deliberately trying to seduce guys but for me after John said he had stylishly tried to get her to wear less form fitting clothing which she probably considers as not being stylish I began to see how easy it would be for her to conclude engineers were "pervs", you have a friendly, hot babe working with you, of course you would be tempted to try you luck. She didn't mention any bad experience though. when next she comes around I plan to ask her what her idea of balance between the pervy attention and the fashionable dressing is. For me I think toning down on the dressing e.g. not wearing tight jeans and wearing t-shirts one size larger would more than half the number of pervs she has to deal with(maybe two sizes in the case of tshirts she...she's that set...lol). That's before we even go to her being a christian and having a duty not to deliberately cause her brothers to sin. what do you think? |
ihedinobi2: You see such a difficulty in evidence right now?when people start to resort to insults, it's usually a good time to re-evaluate. I'm assuming you're a Christian like most of those on this Chatbox. Christians are not intellectualists although being Christian necessarily means you will be intelligent, observant, wise. I say this because this is the age of emotional intellectualism where everything is open to question and the basis of judgment is emotion and because the Scriptures necessarily limited direct admonitions concerning modest dressing to women, a fact that does not count for much with emotional intellectualists.this your 'necessarily' sha...it's just. . .somehow. The angle that I'm looking at it is from causing your brother or sister to sin, so for me the issues we are discussing are applicable beyond the subject of the clothes we wear. I believe that the Bible is entirely accurate because I believe that God is able to produce a perfectly accurate document regardless what resources are available to Him (He created everything out of NOTHING, it can't be a difficulty for Him to override human weakness to produce perfection). Thus I think that if the Bible limits instruction on modest dressing to women, it is deliberate and worthy of acceptance in so doing. I do not subscribe to any perceived need to adjust the Bible to accommodate anything at all.I wholly agree with you. One small question though, what do you mean when you say God can override human weakness to produce perfection? IMO for the fact God made something, it's already perfect (remember the scene about counting fingers in bruce almighty?). BTW, you wouldn't happen to be implying I'm trying to adjust the bible would you? ![]() |
