Are u saying 50% of us no go school?

Everybody go school actually but 50% bin dey skip classes. Even with all the explanations here, some people on this thread still insist they've never in their lives heard of Factorials (!)

These ones would soon complicate the case of the poor man with their nonsense solidarity.

A Nigerian lady has shown up at her ex-boyfriend’s traditional wedding with a custom that has gotten a huge section of netizens talking.


The unknown lady in a short video narrated that her ex-boyfriend broke up with her two years ago but heard reliably that he’s getting married.

The lady said she opted to grace the occasion dressed like her ex-boyfriend’s bride, which means, she got herself the same dress the bride was wearing.

This sort of obsessive behaviour is probably what scared the ex away .

Bluntdude:
Hello guys, good day. Kindly help me make the right decision.

I am an artisan in Abuja who works under a reputable company as a freelancer. My job entails me moving around much everytime. I've done this for years now and to be honest it's really affecting me. The stress of trekking, getting into vehicles and alighting incessantly is really wearing me out. I'm thinking of saving 3k per day for about 2 years to get a car to help ease my movement because in the past and even now, I've lost some customers due to my inability to meet up with some appointments. Most times I get home really exhausted not necessarily because of much work but because of the stress involved in getting to customers' houses and returning again daily.

Now here's the challenge... I planned on getting a land and start building soon before the idea of getting a car came up due to much stress of moving about. I'd really love to own my own house. So please I'd be needing advice from you guys... House or car? Which should I start with first? Really important. Thanks.

At 3k savings per day, it would probably take you 10-15 years to build a miniature house. So if you chose to build the house first, you would probably die from the weariness of excessive trekking before you even get to the roofing stage. Consider your health bro...

Besides, after getting a decent car, it could boost your business immensely and in addition to preserving your health, you'd earn more and save more to be able to build your house.

We are getting married in 4 months. I don't check her phone except for hotspot or she is showing me something. Just one message popped and I was supposed to click something else but the message.
What's your candid opinion on the screenshot?

Not really enough evidence from that chat to prove anything. One cant really tell if she's cheating from that convo; it looks more like a person just playfully chatting with a friend (who obviously admires her). If it's just this chat you have, then she still has good grounds to deny everything.

How exactly does a supposedly educated person conduct a research and boldly brandish 'WIKIPEDIA' as their source of info?

The Nigerian educational system really needs help.

lexy2014:
How did u arrive at your 50-60% figure with regards Nigeria's forex? Even if it is so, how will that result in "massive never been seen kr heard effect on Nigeria's economy that it will have on the economy"?

My bad, I may have overestimated; 40% was the actual figure quoted (see link below).
https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2021/10/15/emefiele-nigeria-spends-40-of-fx-on-importation-of-petrol-others/

Next point to note is that the refinery will produce more than our current national consumption so that means additional forex inflow into Nigeria from the excess petroleum products export (remember you make far far far much more money exporting refined products than exporting crude). Verdict = More Fx inflow!

Also note that in addition to the primary petroleum liquids, for raw materials such as plastics (polyethylene and polypropylene) of which we currently import, there would be a turnaround as we would go from net importers to net exporters overnight. Verdict = More forex inflow!

If you take a look at what's been going on with the economy, you'd agree that the biggest problem we've had in the last few years has been the forex scarcity and its effect on the exchange rate (i.e. Naira devaluation), which in turn has driven inflation through the roof. Fix the forex scarcity issue, you'd fix the Naira devaluation problem and when you fix that, you put a halt in inflation. Yes it wouldn't be back to N150/$ but there would be notable improvement from the current N570/$.

So yeah, I termed it a "massive never been seen or heard effect on Nigeria's economy" because this will be the first time a single project endeavour can change the countries fortunes almost overnight. Just watch out, I wouldn't be surprised if saboteurs in high places start trying to sabotage the project cos for everything you see which is wrong with NIgeria, there are principalities in high places who benefit.

Johnrake69:
What's the cost of labour and other factors in those countries you're making the comparison with?

Fuel is priced 40 cent per litre in Saudi Arabia. And can you compare the minimum wage?

The problem with Nigeria is that even the enlightened folks are quick to jump into comparison of international standards without deep understanding of the peculiarities of the Nigerian situation because they are well off.

Forgetting that it's in the interest of every one for us to have a stable economy where an average Nigerian can survive doing any job they find.

Let's keep supporting international standards until the poor will have nothing else to eat than to eat us all. It's already happening with Kidnapping and organ harvesting.

No one, not a single person on this thread, has claimed that it is not good for prices of petroleum products to be down. No one has "forgotten that it's in the interest of every one for us to have a stable economy where an average Nigerian can survive doing any job they find". But the point being passed across to you is that , for those prices to be down, subsidies have to be paid (regardless of whether we refine locally or not)... and yeah, the Saudi Arabia you talked about pays subsidies to keep their prices down.

So just to make it clear, instead of arguing that petrol price should ideally be <N165 if we refine locally (no economic logic to this), your argument should rather be that "Govt should ensure they keep the price down even if it means by paying subsidies".

Johnrake69:
He has 60% of the market. He determines the price.

The other producers are equally guilty of the same crime. Else why wouldn't they put Dangote to shame by crashing their own prices?

ufotunang:
let this refinery start to work .so that prices of fuel, kerosene, disel can be cheap

Cheap you say?.... Someone's abour to be disappointed.

Johnrake69:
You can't compare Niger republic to the Nigerian market. Stop making up excuses for Dangote. He's killing the average Nigerian with his business practices.

If not for Monopoly which he enjoys. Cement can sell for less than #1500. The Chinese manufacturers import almost everything, pay better wages and still sell cheaper than Dangote.

There're several other producers of cement in Nigeria who also sell their cement at cutthroat prices (some possibly even higher than Dangote). But somehow. Dangote seems to get all the blame all the time.

Johnrake69:
What kind of analysis is this? And who told you fuel is supposed to sell for #340? Do you have any idea of what makes up the cost?

If we refine fuel ourselves fuel shouldn't sell for more than #165.

Lol.. N165?

How much do you think it sells for in other countries where they also refine?

Even if we refine locally, I doubt the cost would be less than N200 except subsidies are paid. And of course, the private refinery owners have profits to make and a huge loan to repay.

Heavance:
Election don come again, all of a sudden it will begin operation.
Same thing they claimed before 2019 elections.

Wetin concern election and private refinery?... Meanwhile Dangote Group announced since 2020 that the refinery will be ready in 2022. So whats the link with election?

lexy2014:
what is the massive never been seen kr heard effect on Nigeria's economy that it will have on the economy?

Between 50-60% of Nigeria's forex inflow is currently spent importing petroleum products. If Nigeria should stop importing those products, do the maths...

dominique:
Other than the employment opportunities it brings, there's nothing to be thrilled about this refinery. When cement was still being imported, the price was still manageable. In comes Dangote cement with locally sourced materials, prices of cement has since quadrupled if not more. I'm sure that's how it's going to be when this Dangote refinery becomes operational. That N300/L we don't want to spend on fuel at the moment, we might end up spending more than that as I'm sure government won't spend one Kobo to subsidize his fuel. Dangote enters a market and the prices of the commodity automatically inflates. His fuel won't be an exception

I beg to differ on your opening sentence. If the refinery starts production and Nigeria stops importing petroleum products, it would have a massive never been seen or heard effect on Nigeria's economy.

GboyegaD:
You have my permission to do so but please share a picture once this is done.

The guy believes more in doctrine than the Bible in itself.

You cant blame the guy, he's only a victim here who's just doing what he was taught by the very person he accuses today. He's obviously been subjected to a lifetime of bondage under weird doctrines which dont exactly (as you say) align with the bible.

I guess Pastor Kumuyi here is becoming a victim of his own extremism.

After subjecting followers to a lifetime of bondage with draconian/extremist views, how does he just wake up one day and decide to change the rules/doctrine?

After 7 years, still 'promising' to crush. Shameless!

owobokiri:
Oh Chim oooo!
A very loquacious platoon of Tinubu Internet Urchins are on steroids here..
It's unbelievable! Why are you goblins crying more than the berieved? Is that how much you love the igbos? Why the emergency love and care?
How can a wet rat from Ogbomosho or Oshogbo be more concerned of IPOB activities in Orlu or Onitsha!? What has come over you generational parasites?

I come from Orlu! Do you love Orlu more than me? None of has crossed Ore before! Do you even travel? If you so love the igbos, tell your Lord and personal savior Hushcobar Tinubu to renounce his inglorious presidential pursuit and support an Igbo president. We will take you serious after that. Stop worrying about IPOB. We know how to deal with them when they cross the boundary. Face your traducers at igangan via Ibarappa!

Umu bingo..

When I see IPOB adherents coming up repeatedly with this senseless defence of nonsense, I cant help but wonder the sort of putrid waste that has been pumped into their heads. So because bandits and bokoharam are ravaging the north, then that automatically makes it okay and justified for these overzealous idiots to destroy the east too?

Are some of you even okay? Who told you the people complaining aren't Igbos? I guess those women whose livelihoods are being destroyed are also hailing the assailants too?

Smithkafors:
Lol, make una continue �. SE/SS are not part of Nigeria. Make 2023 reach self, we are watching.

You want to bomb IVM right?

Sai Dangote!

RepoMan007:
Pastors give over 90% of what they get back unlike politicians many of us like to support who publicise the token they give back.

And what exactly is the point in your comparison?

Heterodox:
it went over your head again.

Yes it did, cos it was hogwash.

Illuminatiship:
Osinbanjo is a weakling he can't rule his government will be like that of 10 lions ruling a goat..

There's no such thing as a weakling when a person attains absolute powers; a lot of people just don't understand the powers wielded by a Nigerian president.

Even heard someone say Osinbajo if president would be 'controlled' by Tinubu; I couldn't help but laugh at the ignorance in that statement. Tinubu might be Osinbajo's godfather today, but the day Osinbajo is sworn in as C-in-C, that's the day Osinbajo automatically becomes Tinubu's godfather.

Toks2008:
For me I will go with Star Boy any day any time with Zulum as his running mate. Let's have two Proffesors handle our affairs for the very first time.

A clarion Call beckons to Professor Yemi Osinbajo and posterity will judge him if he refuses to come out to declare his interest.

Anyways this is my personal choice... What about you? Who would you prefer to be Nigeria's next president?

The Prof remains my choice till another worthy candidate emerges. I think with the way the nation has been violently polarised along tribal, ethnic, regional and religious lines, Osinbajo's unique charismatic nature would come in very handy in calming fraying nerves across the nation.

Heterodox:
It's a test of intelligence. Clearly, anything could pass for notorious.

Lol... Test of intelligence? So in your mind now you think what you wrote is intelligent?

There's only 1 Tiwa Savage video which TRENDED in 2021, and it was a video with explicit content, which can as well be tagged a 'notorious' video. I assume you know the meaning of the term 'trended' right? So quit trying to confuse yourself with your so called "test of intelligence"; everyone already knows the video the examiner was referring to.

Heterodox:
Don't you think you're the dumb one? Cos there's no part where sex video was mentioned.

Between us both, I'm clearly not the dumbo. The question mentioned "Tiwa Savage's 'notorious' video that trended in 2021", and everyone knows the main Tiwa's notorious video that trended in 2021, except of course an obvious oversabi who's trying too hard to sound clever.

This has to be the most stupid exam question ever. What's the relevance or link between the question and the Tiwa Savage video?

.WHat's with all these childish and super-dumb personal attacks from Reno? Is this also supposed to be politics?

alsudan:
Thiefnibus desperation is outta this world.

Man will singlehandedly bring the demonic APC house down after the Convention and Buhari and his boys will gladly send his old Azz to jail for his many crimes.

Isn't it just funny how the majority of the people tagging Tinubu as 'desperate' for seeking the presidency for the first time, are the very ones rooting for a 'non-desperate' Atiku that has jumped to countless political parties hustling for the same presidency?

Isn't it weird how the very same people calling Tinubu old, are scrambling for a 'young virile' Atiku?

Isn't it just amazing how the same people saying Tinubu's crime was bringing Buhari to power, have somehow so quickly and conveniently, forgotten that Atiku was also an APC financier in 2015?

I don't care what anyone thinks, but I believe it's totally wrong for men of God (who get the majority of their wealth from public donations) to brag about physical wealth in public. This is the sort of thing that attracts insults to the church daily. It's a shame cos this is very common occurrence in the black world, a real shame!

Sounds like typical Nigerian government official behaviour. Break the law and then start making 'calls' to people above. These are the kind of people that could drive on BRT lane and slap LASTMA officials trying to stop them.
