This should be called "Mr & Miss Pancake Model 2018"...

It's like we're voting for our favourite painting.

This is how somebody will go and stir up controversy where there is none... Both ladies have huge fan bases across Africa and the world; both are making us proud; and both should be lauded.

But I guess stirring up controversy is good for that OAP's ratings...

As for me, I don't too much like all that "Hoha, abrogodo brogodo" stuff, but her fans love it.

Buhari is a dictator

The Constitution provides for a balance of powers that prevent dictatorship. If the other branches (congress and justice) decide to look on idly, then we have nobody but ourselves to blame for a) choosing a dictator, and b) choosing sheeple to represent us at NASS.

CANDYDADDY:


A country where racism is on rampant, black Americans over there are even trying hard to get reasonable, better job, not to talk about black African.

An average native Caucasian earns 15$ per 2 hours, now who black African that hasn't be granted a citizenship will buy this type of whip.

Thus, she is either a yahoo yahoo girl, a drug baron, a smuggled/illlegal immigrant love peddler.

Most "natives" have a hard time getting ahead because there's no motivation to succeed, since everything sort of works, and you can earn a livable wage - even if it's a life of earning and consuming without investing or saving. On the other hand, a lot of immigrants work hard, take nothing for granted, and maintain access to multiple opportunities when they keep one leg abroad, one leg home.

The vast majority of Nigerians who are financially successful abroad are never really 100% abroad. Those who move to seek greener pastures remain there as serfs, earning enough just to pay the bills.

The difference is an entrepreneurial mindset. A job has never made anybody wealthy, business has.

This... this is what a government and court system wants to waste its time pursuing... not enhancing the economy, providing jobs, or improving security. "Oh noes, our country will go down the drain if we let our young girls take videos of themselves..."
And then they will spend taxpayer money to imprison her too... SMH

and yet nigeria is richer than this country but what do we do

I hate to be that guy, I really do, but I just googled both GDPs (official numbers) and got Thailand:406.8, Nigeria:405.1. Just saying'

Meanwhile our Agbada-,Isiagu-, Khaftan-wearing elites cannot save a single person from marauding herdsmen. SMH

LondonLord:
It Is Wrong And Slavery For Big Company Like That to Out Source 80% of Its Workers.

What? A business does not exist to hire people... it exists to create value for its owners, and it does so by offering valuable products/services.

The Nigerian labour force is mostly shitty, truth be told: most recent graduates have no real technical skills; require a lot of handholding and training; have demonstrated a propensity to rip off their employers; want to become managers earning big salaries without paying their dues; will jump ship at the slightest opportunity; have very low work ethic; and so on. Let's talk true: finding quality talent is also the lament of Nigerian-owned businesses.

Some might even call it patriotic/sensible for MTN to outsource 80% of its labour to a better-trained/highly-productive/better-educated workforce in its home country. The best way to encourage MTN to hire more Nigerian labour is to for Nigeria to produce better candidates.

I think it's actually a good thing for her to insist and be given the opportunity to serve in Hijab. We need to acknowledge and support diversity in all facets of society, being sensitive to individual beliefs so far as they do not conflict with other's fundamental rights. It's actually very congruous that a law student argued successfully to be called, while wearing Hijab.

Humility017:
it is so pathetic bro....
do you know that most of those staffs are paid peanuts...merely #50k monthly?
work like elephants and eat like ants...

Well, the Nigerian government thinks so lowly of its citizens, and we the citizens have not seen fit to vote wisely... we get what we deserve.

zeestone99:
This is the problem I have wit some nigerians, they are standing against mtn for all atrocities committed, low salaries, employing contract staff wit lil or no benefits n no workin platform to b retained as permanent staff, they form other employment agencies, they giv moni to dem, while dose one recruit our pple on contract n giv dem peanut under strict environment.. Nlc is sayin no to that,and all we can do is bash dem.... Later we ll stil complain... Wake up ppl

NLC should be having the discussion with MTN owners, perhaps with the aid of government/legal: MTN is playing by the rules/laws setup by NASS (minimum wage, contract staff, benefits etc). If NLC wants to change things, perhaps they should concentrate on talking to their representatives in the House and Senate. If there is indeed illegal activity (as in against the law), we have a due process that NLC should follow in the courts.

Nothing authorizes NLC to interfere in business affairs... they can recruit people to their cause, but they are not the enforcers of labour laws.

Apina:
Mtn cannot attempt 1% of the rubbish they are doing here in Nigeria in south Africa. How can you outsource 80% of your employment slots in a multinational making billions from the said country daily? And thats why Workers can be dropped at will since its a contract job with little or no regulation from the Labour ministry

It's the role of government to enact and enforce laws to benefit its citizenry. It's not up to a profit-making company to charitably hire more people than it needs to. If they could run with only 1 worker in Nigeria, they would, and there's nothing wrong with that. After all isn't MTN paying taxes (and or fines) that are supposed to benefit Nigeria? Aren't they providing much-needed infrastructure that other Nigerian elites are refusing to provide? Please direct your anger to Nigeria's leadership, not to South African business shareholders.

Chai... this is boyfriend-crushing car... this guy will have to up his game now

To avoid the predictable and sad arguments that will come out of this (since the man can feel insecure), Jenny/Jane should just sell this car and put the money aside... maybe use to build house for rent... but most of all keep this thing quiet.

Dog looks tired, like "I no understand this new PMB economy... before thief would run if I bark"

and if somebody was to fall off the suv, they will be blaming government or the village witches...

Are these campaign funds (raised through donors), or are these (previously purloined) government funds being used to enhance a campaign? If the latter, then this is quite illegal, isn't it?

120 arrests means from 10k up to 50k per person released on bail.
It seems this exercise will profit the police force greatly.

The vast majority of these people are likely innocent...

What is buhari picture doing in an office located in the east
This woman needs to be banished ASAP.

Are you serious? Is the East not in Nigeria? And is the president not Buhari?
I have to believe you're joking, but some people will start thinking too seriously about your comment.

Until Biafrans have successfully fought their war, made a treaty with Nigeria, and established diplomatic relationships with other countries, his picture stays on that wall

adecz:
So, clay, limestone, gypsum, sand are imported?

You are not conversant with cement production.
Go and research & come back & comment
intelligently...

Sigh... anybody knows the materials you mentioned are not imported, but let me link you to an article that mentions what other inputs that go into making cement:

"A wide range of chemicals are added to cement to act as plasticizers, superplasticizers, accelerators, dispersants, and water-reducing agents. Called admixtures, these additives can be used to increase the workability of a cement mixture still in the nonset state, the strength of cement after application, and the material's water tightness. Further, they can decrease the amount of water necessary to obtain workability and the amount of cement needed to create strong concrete. Accelerators, which reduce setting time, include calcium chloride or aluminum sulfate and other acidic materials. Plasticizing or superplasticizing agents increase the fluidity of the fresh cement mix with the same water/cement ratio, thereby improving the workability of the mix as well as its ease of placement. Typical plasticizers include polycarboxylic acid materials; superplasticizers are sulphanated melamine formaldehyde or sulphanated naphthalene formaldehyde condensates. Setretarders, another type of admixture, are used to delay the setting of concrete. These include soluble zinc salts, soluble borates, and carbohydrate-based materials. Gas forming admixtures, powdered zinc or aluminum in combination with calcium hydroxide or hydrogen peroxide, are used to form aerated concrete by generating hydrogen or oxygen bubbles that become entrapped in the cement mix."

Or you really think cement is just a mixture of clay, limestone, gypsum, and sand? There is an increasing number of these chemical additives being made in Nigeria (which would not have the case if people were just importing cement). Also, if left in the hands of foreign companies, they would not see any reason to make these chemicals locally, preferring to import from established companies abroad. Per kilogram, the chemicals are far more expensive than limestone or sand, and so have a disproportionate share of cost in the total cost of cement.

My main point was that Dangote is domesticating production and also driving import substitution, and that profits can remain in Naira (as opposed to being taken abroad as was the case before Dangote started production). These have made cement cheaper in inflation-adjusted Naira over the last decade.

Not a friend of PMB, but the real reason is that PMB does not give out egunge - that's the real reason his associates are dumping him. They are looking out after their own interests, and are beginning to sense that they can find food elsewhere.

adecz:


In 2006 when price of cement rose to 1000 naira, everybody were complaining,

Obasanjo told us to be patient & that, when Dangote's Obajana cement plant in Kogi starts producing, prices will come down.

When obajana plant came up, prices webt to 1500 & is now 2500!

In the final analysis, Dangote only cares about getting richer & richer at our expense.

I just want to comment about the prices. From 2006 to 2016, general inflation in Nigeria hovered around 20% while the value of the Naira (vs USD) has crashed from around 130 to 360 (it's been as bad as 540, but I'll just settle at these official numbers).

If cement had to be paid for in USD (a lot of inputs were imported, and profits repatriated), we'd see at least 3x the 2006 price - meaning 3000naira.

Now add the effects of inflation which would have seen cement prices increase like so: (I'll even be generous and say inflation was only 15% for that decade on average, which is an underestimate but makes the math easy.)
2006 - 1000
2007 - 1150
2008 - 1322
2009 - 1520
2010 - 1749
2011 - 2011
2012 - 2313
2013 - 2660
2014 - 3059
2015 - 3517
2016 - 4045

So inflation alone would see cement be 4045 Naira. Compounded with the devaluation of the Naira would have seen it approach 10,000 naira. So, really, prices have come down in REAL, inflation-adjusted terms, and it's absolutely not fair to compare nominal prices over a decade in a country where the value of money falls so drastically.

Now we can then talk about if real wages have increased to pay for these more-expensive cement, but that's not Dangote's fault is it?

Don't forget awon runs... they started traveling on Thursday or early Friday morning to sell market

Rolly83:
Noting special!! What has he done to help the youths. I just read on another thread how a young man full of life set himself ablaze due to hardship!!!! This celebs should stop doing this show offs and help the needy instead of flaunting shit on social media everyday.

I was thinking the same thing... about how $500,000 would really go a long way in creating factories that would employ many. Truth is, he already has successful businesses that employ people and make money, and flaunting on social media promotes his brands even more.

About the needy... isn't that government's role? To create an environment where people receive good education/health/food/training so they can be more productive and beneficial to society? Emoney can spend his money how he sees fit... government is obligated to spend its revenues on improving the life of citizens.

100% True!!!
Relationship involves money!!
You need to ensure your babe looks good all the time and lacks nothing!!!
She should be the envy of her friend!
The way you treat your gf shows the kind of husband you will be!!
I don't see myself marrying a guy that doesn't care about how I do my hair,fix my nails,buy my cloth, shoes and places that I go to!!!
I love my man rich and financially generous!!

My babe needs to work hard in a career so she can make herself look good all the time and lacks nothing.
The way my babe carries herself shows the kind of wife she will be. Do I want a dependent who's reliant on me, or do I want a partner who will grow our wealth and happiness together?

Chip in once in a while is one thing - and I don't mind... but all roads always lead to becoming her ATM and you will ultimately be responsible for hair, tfare, rent, phone, credit, sorting out lecturers, "business").

We guys have ourselves to blame for befriending all these poor students with nothing to offer but a dependency. Women with their own careers don't need daily support, just love, understanding, and the occasional gift. That's more preferable than listening to the same song about no money for school fees and low credit.

olajide8:
Dangote construct 44km of road from obajana to kabba dangote is joint constructing apapa to ibadan expressway - please help us tell adenuga my role model to do something for Nigerians also

But Adenuga is the reason you can check out your social media feeds and do mobile banking... your data runs through his undersea cables. As do your international calls, and even a lot of mobile traffic goes on Glo infrastructure.

*I know Glo is one of several networks and undersea cables, but I estimate 1/4 - 1/3 of traffic into and out of Nigeria go through Glo's infrastructure.
