I have had to triage about 5 cyber breaches in the last 6months. Guess the IP location of the attackers trying to gain access to compromised accounts in all of these cases?

Lagos, Nigeria.

It's incredibly saddening you are doing a job as a Nigerian and having to make a report to blacklist your fellow country men from opportunities because a few bag eggs have soiled the well water for others. We wouldn't know the effects on businesses till everything moves to cloud in about 5years and Nigerians can not access shit, can not work from home for foreign coys because their country is blacklisted from the whole world.

Make una continue dey hail them.

With which money?

Unbundle the transmission lines?

Generate 20k. Lol. I wish Obi wins so Nigerians can see what promises without a clear path leads to.

Power isn't rocket science. Issue of power is investments and ROI. Current model on ground would never ever succeed. Pour 500BN into and you are back to square in a few years. It is capital intensive and requires continuous maintenance. How do you maintain such assets when people don't pay the real costs of energy?

Help the DISCOs? With what again? The intervention the DISCOs have had from the Federal government isn't enough? Why is tbe FG intervening in supposed private entities?

There you have your answer that this guy is out of depth.

More guns....i have a right to own guns.


Fuc..king clowns everywhere. Mentally unstable.

In what world is a 2 year old holding guns as a photo op normal?

SmartyPants:
Why look at it that way?

Someone is giving you information so that you know what you're getting into. If you are happy to proceed, that's on you. If you are scared, that's on you.

But you should know that there is a reason why the UK is short of homegrown teachers.

A lot on here are un-intelligent. Sorry to say. People give you information. Instead of them to drill down and logically discuss things or analyse it and be prepared. They see enemies everywhere. Probably conditioned by their various religious houses to see things from that perspective.

A lot of teachers are burned out and leaving the classrooms because the "woke" society has taken control of classrooms from their hands and handed it over to the kids. There was a story of a 13 year old kid who got a teacher suspended because she won't call her by her multiple pronouns which was always changing everyweek. Today she identifies as a boy , next week she is non binary , next month she is a girl and wants the teacher to follow such absurdities and address by such when it "changes".


I have a class to teach not conform to your whims and caprices. You would leave the classroom also when kids have no consequences in a school environment nowadays. Parents bringing their uncultured kids to school and expecting teachers to drill commonsense into them without the kids bearing the consequences of such disobedience.

Just last week 6 teneegers as young as 13 knived and murdered a man in Toronto at midnight. Like what the hell are 13 year old girls doing on the street at 12am . Guess they wanted booze from the man and he was trying to prevent them. That's a small sample of kids and should not be reflective of the whole society but nah, you take a walk to parks and schools. The amount of graffiti, destruction of public property, hooliganism i have seen. Not seen 1/100 of it amongst young people even in the deepest ghettos of Ajegunle.

Absolutely reckless. Why go homenwith Government cars.

You have enough to afford the cars. It is not your entitlement. They should drag to court for theft.

Hindsight they say is 2020. Anybody can claim they called an electoral outcome correctly AFTER the event. You are no exception. However since you are gifted with the gab of predicting election outcomes eyes closed, then please do so NOW and not in March next year.

Ekiti was not only called correctly it was called right down to the order in which each front runner will finish at the polls.

If Buhari garnered 12m votes with the CPC, a party set up for the sole purpose of his contesting the 2011 elections with no senatorial candidates, governors etc then who says Obi cannot garner 12m+ votes to win the presidential elections in a 4-horse race?
I would wager that Obi has the same cult following that Buhari had in 2011 with even better regional spread than a Buhari in 2011.

I don't do wild reasoning like you lots do. His entire stronghold which is the SE can't even boast of 12million votes totally . That's even if there's a 100% participation . As of 2019. The Northwest alone which was Buhari's strong hold had a numerical strength of 19Million votes and probably 16million in 2011. That's not even counting the North East and North Central. Even with his cult following. He could only raise probably 30% of votes in those regions.

Let's even assume Obi has same cult following which in reality he doesn't . He garners 90% of the votes in his stonghold which is almost impossible to have such turnout. Like 50% of those PVCs are likely unclaimed. So he gets probably 5million from there another 4 million from other places and this is me being very generous. That's still leaves him far off from the numbers needed to win.

I am not a pollster but to state Obi winning is like going on a wild gooose chase. The numbers don't align. You need a coalition to win votes. You can use social media to leverage and push your agenda but without those coalition delivering bulk votes it is almost impossible to win . As for the 3 other candidates. Kwankwaso would have a good showing in Kano and Jigawa. That's if he doesn't pull out. But for Atiku and Tinubu They definitely would go neck to neck in most places but whoever can ginger their bases more would win this.

Atiku had about 17 states in 2019 and over 11million votes. 30% or so of those votes came from the South East and South South due to Obis and PDPs influence. That drops him about 3 to 4 million votes down there. The election would be won on tight margins but it's too early to call who would win based on the numbers available but looking at the current numbers and outlook it is between Tinubu and Atiku and slight 10% chance of Obi(Miracles do happen).

States like Osun and Ekiti would have voter apathy. Election fatigue is a big deal. Definitely a likely 30% drop in turn out as against the governorship elections. Reaity is with all the noise you hear online every single election period you would think the participation would be in the 80%. 2019 elections had 37% voter turn out. 2015 with all the craze had 43% turn out which was a good showing for Democracy. Probably same numbers this time around. That should tell you how reflective social media hysteria is to real world scenarios. As crazily debated, keenly contested and hyped as the Osun elections was, voter turn out was 42%. That's to show you how hard it is to push people to vote. Adeleke had henchmen on ground pulling their constituents, had social media hype, had a celebrity push and had ran for elections that he almost won 4 years ago. To win by 23k votes is such is underwhelming. So discount all these noise .

azpekuliar:
All I know is ANAP has called every presidential election correctly since 2011. They have even delved into polling state elections recently and still called Osun and Ekiti elections right.
That said how come the South-West has the highest percentage of respondents (38%) who did not want to reveal the candidate they intend to vote for? I find that very very interesting.

I could call all the elections they predicted with my eyes closed.

2011- very easy to call. Everyone wanted Jonathan to complete Yar'Adua's ticket. It was a no brainer. Nigerians lapped up the underdog stories. I had no shoes. Let's have a "P.hd" candidate for the first time.


2015- Even Jonathan knew he would lose. By 2013 to 2013 it was already evident he couldn't win. Go back and see where he was trying to propose a single six year term so he could extend his four years to 6 and stayed till 2017. He 100% knew a coalition would unsit him. The forming of APC showed the dynamics wasn't in his favour. Buhari had always pulled 12million votes. The G5 governors from nPDP pulling out and supporting him. The widespread power cuts, extreme corruption, boko haram issues in the north added to the pressure. It was quite evident Buhari would win. The main Question in 2015 was about whether Jonathan would hand over not if he would win.


2019- Commonsense. Incumbency. Buhari wasn't doing okay but he still had his block votes. There was more voter apathy because there was no credible alternative to push through and break the jinx. PDP wasn't really an opposition party. They were in shambles.


So what's the big deal about their polls?

Ekiti was easy. Osun could have been the only potential tricky one but even that it was known that the difference would only be marginal. Have an aregbe support the incumbent and 23k votes would easily have been overturned and their poll would have been wrong.

They couldn't have been more wrong with the 2023 elections. Context is much more important in Polls and 2023 isn't your classical elections. It would all boil down to who can rally their bases the more to vote and I honestly do not see how LP would win. It is beyond impossible and illogical. Also understand that illiteracy is very rife in Nigeria and you have the Presidential and National Assembly elections running at the same time. So it all depends on how each party's senatorial and house rep memebrs are strong in each constituent that would really play a major role in this election in most regions bar the south west.

I doubt a senatorial candidate would be going ahead stating vote me for Senatorial and vote another for President. That's taking a lot of risks and LP does not even have enough National Assembly candidates to even swing such. Also their Presidential candidate does not have the same cult following to upend things in favour of National Assembly candidates like the Buhari effect did for a lot of candidates in 2015.

So i call BS on their polls. February isn't far off. So it is to sit back and watch

I can understand fashion but i honestly do not understand women extremity in the name of fashion.

Of all things...Gum in your eyes because of some ugly looking lashes?

Like are you so low on self esteem you would be doing this to your eyes just for some "beauty" points?

I honestly can't wrap my head around such. The first instinct of man is survival and self preservation and not beauty . So why would someone put their self preservation in harm's way for just some beauty points?

This guy would be back in no distant future. Osun needed someone like him after the spend crazy borrow crazy government of Aregbe.

He was extremely good. As usual Nigerians love to choose their poison. Osun is a civil servant state but they want a government that just donates money and spends lavishly without working for it or understanding basic economics that you should only spend what you can earn.

But nah. They don't mind government borrowing to do owambe and shout later that they are paying debts without any infrastructure to show for it.


Thankfully for those set of people the spend the money gang are in now. I wish the State the best of luck.

I am 1000% sure this is what happened.

Nigeria police are the worst set of people. That's how they lose cases with their impunity.

If i were the judge i already struck out the case in my mind for lack of credible evidence. Making a suspect write a false narrative under duress alone is enough to doubt whatever evidence the prosecuting team brings.

Munamoqel:
going to Canada or any Western Christian Nation is not an achievement to Muslim .You yard stick for doing well ( staying in Canada ) is not a yard stick for a devoured Muslim . Muslims spend Million going to Hajj yearly . They can't practice Islam they way they want in Canada . Ariskola alao a devouted Muslim is probably the richest person in Oyo before his death

You get time dey answer troll.

Sterope:
Exactly, their fault is that they work for people rich enough to ruin their lives. How can you have 8 staffs and not a single one delegated for the little one. Even at that, the family members at home are just as guilty of negligence.

Wouldn't want to blame anyone and wouldn't want to judge without facts but if the typical Nigerian safety handling was anything to go by. We have a fair idea of how this could have happened.

Unfortunately this has led to the death of an innocent child.

We need to strengthen our laws and the applications. DBanj had same issues some few years ago. Imagine if the child right act was applied and if any negligence were punished then? Wouldn't owners of houses with swimming pools have sat up and put in place safety measures to curtail such? Yeah it is God that guides but we are duty bound to cross all ts when it comes to safety.

But nah. We whine about the death and go back to the same ways. Until another tradegy happens and we wail about it and another happens. Cycle continues. Without any learnings , any repercussions for inaction.

When you see Job description overseas and you see things like ability to carry a certain weight, have a specific skill set we often think those are just stupid. We hire life guards without swimming experience, knowledge of CPR. Nannies who don't have basic trainings on child care, understanding hazards, basic first aid for kids. Some don't even know about peanut allergies, choke hazards etc. If you have an hazard like a swimming pool at home , you have to factor in those skills in people you want.

I just hate such type of deaths. Deeply painful that if 1,2,3 things had been done, such could have been prevented

Samantha123:
It's sad that they now want to shift the blame on the poor domestic staff, when it's the responsibility of the parents to babyproof the house in the first place, especially when there's a pool.

Hopefully, this was just a freak accident and no one has to go down for this.

Thoughts and prayers with all the families involved.

Sterope:
As rich as they are, they don't have delegated staff for ONE child. Now they want to ruin poor people's lives because they can't care for their child.

I wouldn't be surprised the so called domestic staff they are talking about are some poor people they pay N30k to per month and give some hand-me-downs to.

Look at most rich Nigerians. Gateman 15k guarding a multibillion naira house.

Domestic staff -20k

Driver- 45k ( has poor training, drinks alcohol, lives in squalor so doesn't get the required rest) drives big Oga around the country and one day he sleeps off on the wheel and has head on collision killing the boss or boss madam or kids .


Rest in peace to the little one . Hopefully God consoles the parent.

Kids are a handful and they would disappear with those tiny legs of theirs in a split second. If you don't hear their voice in 10 seconds know they are up to some mischief or trying to injure themselves. So parents have to be on the watch 247 till they are off age. More reasons dedicated nannies should be available when parents aren't in with strict rules and good pay.


Also when you have kids, your house should be tailored to their safety. Every single household item has to be vetted for whatever hazards they can pose to them and you mediate such.

Lol.


Mental gymnastics.

I thought you lots said Sheik Gunmi was a terrorist?

When you have mouth diarrhea. This is what happens.

vivaciousvivi:
But the write up clearly stated that was not an ordinary chair. They called it a Stair chair I believe. Maybe to keep people with head injuries semi upright while he can be moved to the other hospital. The video didnt really show people walking about like idiots either.
Also if u listen to it again, someone said something about "shey una no dey work here" or something like that when asked to help. Try watch again with a more critical eye.
RIP to Rico

A stair chair for someone with head injuries? Legs dangling?

If that was on the road i can excuse it. That was in an hospital.
How are they sure he doesn't have broken vertebrae or spinal injury to be handling him that way?

Please stop excusing rubbish.

This below was evacauting a crash victim from a site... Let alone in an hospital. No straps, nothing. Sitted him in a chair like a drunkard with legs dangling.

We would be alright. No wonder lots never get back to normal after accidents in Nigeria because we never ever follow basic procedures to help save lives.

Even ordinary football injuries. You see how they don't move any body parts and use a stretcher, let alone an accident victim.

Anything they said Doren did. They probably did it.

A friend took his baby there last year and the unprofessionalism was beyond belief.

I remembered him calling me and lamenting on the phone how the Hospital was just after money and weren't even after due care of the baby. Also the statement pointing to the fact that he was smelling of Alcohol is just bait to divert from their negligence. Even if he was smelling from igbo and alcohol how does that excuse an accident victim been placed on a chair like that without restraints and hospital employees walking around like idiots?

27Pushing30:
go and check that video again guy and if you understand cars/own one you sef go see wetin i dey talk about

It's a weird accident vid ... weird in the fact that dude probably slammed his car smack down the middle of a tree or any other very strong object...

Now if you look at the video the dent in the middle cannot be POSSIBLE except he was going to speeds above 120/140. the way that middle press no be beans

The broken glass in front could also mean the drivers head hit the windshield and i'm not sure airbags deployed.

Obviously had to be highness we dey see am daily for this road...early mormor like 7am drive from Ozumba to Ibeju Lekki on a saturday morning you go count like 10-15 car accidents.

Lounge and bar owners need to be held accountable

I am sure no post mortem in Nigeria. RIP and no one learns any lessons.

Windshield towards driver side has a gaping hole. Likely wasn't using seat belt so he was thrown out through the windshield smashing his head or likely an external article like battery or an engine component crumpled and flew in from outside, punching the hole in the windscreen and hitting the driver. Air bags also seem to not have been deployed.

RIP and may the good lord forgive his sins and give the family the fortitude to bear such loss.

In all, people need to be more careful when driving and exhibit all safety precautions. Take Uber if you are going out to drink. You need to be responsible. Accidents do happen but they also can be prevented in most cases if only we paid a little bit more caution.

Eriokanmi:
Exactly. I still don't know why. Each time I take pictures in America and Nigeria with same camera, the difference is always clear. Yankee pictures and sky always look brighter

Difference is the closeness of the sun.

You are closer to the equator when in Nigeria. I.e The sun comes directly at you so the sky looks a lot aloof and far away which doesn't give a good backdrop for pictures taken outside. Also for picture quality the sun's intensity and humidity is higher and such would distort the sharpness of images.

When i take pictures in the North of Nigeria, images looks a lot more sharper and crisp likely because of lower humidity in comparison to Lagos. Take same picture in Lagos and it feels like something muddles with the picture.

For Canada, Us and Europe, the sun feels much closer overhead but it is slanted and sky feels closeby which is perfect for outdoor pictures. Same for pictures i have taken in South Africa.

Watch videos of outdoors in blistering sun in Nigeria and South Africa. One glows and the other feels shady and gloomy.

chaloskyx:
This is just another media propaganda i can also take pictures of 3rd mainland bridge by pm and Lagos airport by 7am post it and claim Nigerians are leaving in droves due to bad governance and insecurity The problem with Africans is that they arnt logical they take in things without questioning same way you took your colonial masters religion, same way you take your pastors and politicians falsehoods, same way you would take it in when they say snake and monkeys swallowed public funds the average African is lacks the capacity to ask questions that's why majority of Naira landers would believe this bullshit

You that you have capacity.

Come back and tell me what is happening now.

CSTRR:
Please, tell me.

What is not realistic about encouraging the hardworking farmers in the middle belt to grow coffee, cotton and flowers as long as they get their proper pay?

What is unrealistic about encouraging the industrialists in the north to build more Agro processing zones in Kano and kaduna with established raw materials supply from the agro zones in the middle belt.?

What is unrealistic about a mere 20,000MW from Siemens in 4yrs?

What is unrealistic about increasing and modernizing the onne port, and connect it to aba through a major highway?

I am still looking for what is unrealistic here.

A lot is unrealistic in all those.

There is a difference identifying what needs to be done. We all know that we need roads . Super highways and what not. I can tell you and state we need to build a 15 lane road from Lagos to Onitsha to unlock the business potential of those areas.. That's just rhetoric.

How are you achieving such giving the meagre resources that Nigeria earns?
Going to take loans?
Increasing VAT or road tax rates?
Taxing more people? If yes. How? Leveraging taxes on the rich and luxury goods? By what basis points?
Making the roads tolled roads?

That's giving the how. For a lot of things Peter obi unfortunately says. There are a lot of things not backed by realities or concrete plans.


Agriculture supply chain.. how? Banning imports? Doing import substition? Raising tarrif on imported goods that local substitutes exists for? Asides supplying farmer with loans. What about storage? Is he going to just say "poof" and all those are just going to appear from no where?



Siemens generating 20k MW. How? With what money? Who's going to pay for such? Would tarrifs be increased? Would distribution be completely unbundled and the power sector completely deregulated? How would he treat current debt by discos? Government going to buy back those companies? And resell? Government going to sell its stake to capable 3rd parties? Bitter truth, Siemens would not do shingbai if the current existing structure is in place. Every single company is out to make money so why would they invest billions of $ when government caps tarrifs at N50 even when it is 100% sure that's unprofitable.

There are laws affecting electricity generation. Is he repealing them? Which of them does he agreee with? Or which one goes against his ideals?

We currently have a generating capacity of more than 20K MW. It is not a question of generating. It's a question of cost. Out of about 5 engines at Afam only about 1.5 is working and even those aren't at optimal levels because of gas supply and pricing issues. How is he tackling that? Floating gas prices and allowing generatig company to pass on the full costs to distribution companies? Who in turn would charge the real costs of energy to the end users instead of the current government caps?

Would NLC agree to rate increase? How would he convince Nigerians to pay more for electricity for example N200 per kwh? If they reject? Is he going to direct such power to industrial areas alone and scale things up gradually? Those are answers people expect. Critical discussion on how and his thought processes.

If people are asking those questions they really want to know exactly what he intends to do and how. We are not listening to Atiku or Tinubu because to a large extent we know they aren't offering anything new.

If Peter Obi states he is different, then he should state clearly how he is going to achieve those things differently.

If you have watched the recent PM debate in the UK . You can clearly see clear cut plans by each leading candidate on how they want to fund the budget. One is stating increase in taxes to fund NHS and by how much they expect to increase and what level of funding they intend to push in the short term. The other is saying they can leverage borrowing and should definitely be shoring up their debt balance to spend their way out of a recession.


You can critique those and draw a basis but for Peter Obi. It's been largely just bogus words without anything concrete behind his plans.


They asked him recently how he would handle Subsidy. He couldn't answer and just gave some confusing answer stating that he would first have to observe and that even if they are removing it they would be ploughing such money into health and education. Based on that statement alone i felt he was unserious and doesn't understand the magnitude of work he has to deal with if at this poiint we still can not clearly identify what to do with such crazy trillions we pay yesrly on fuel subsidy.

Subsidy has to go whether fully or partially and we can't afford to replace subsidy with another welfare program. Also how does he mitigate the expected inflation if Subsidy is removed? Nothing.


We all want issues based campaign but even the seemingly bright candidate hasn't even provided any intelligent or clarity just silly China and Egpyt comparisons. So what's the hype really about? Isn't this the same cycle from 2015 of "we would make N1=$1 again"?

culf:
some men don't care I know lots of people that are married for years without changing name. the problem is when you want to travel out with your kid(s) I know someone that her visa application was turndown because her name and that of the kids are different.

She didn't tell you the truth.

Probably she was divorced and didn't get the consent form from the other parent to travel with the kids. I am 110% sure she wasn't denied because of difference in the Surname.

Is her name not on their birth certificate?

Heck it's even a lot stressful for ladies who changed names. All your previous history, you have to go explain. Present marriage certificate, newspaper prints and whatnot just to authenticate your identity. I can not wrap my head why a lady would change her name. The hassle alone is enough turn off. But whatever works for people. Imagine you had to remarry? Lol. Affidavit for affidavit for affidavit of change of name? Why give yourself such headache ?

I am a guy and she definitely kept her surname. In some religion like Islam a Lady keeps her father's name. That is why you always have people referred to as "ibn"-son/daughter of. This taking husband name is western, I don't see references to such in most African culture that i am familiar with and honestly it is a lot inconvenient both from an identity perspective and a paperwork point of view. Maiden name... Like wtf...?

Her husband does not own her. She's a human not half human.


Edited..

Throwback:
Someone once opined on this forum, that this David Hundeyin is actually hollow and shallow.

I now believe by the above tweet he made.

Is it just today that David is knowing that Nigeria supports a lot of our West African neighbours with financial grants and material support, aside from the many bilateral pacts we have with these ECOWAS neighbours?

Did the government tell him they were hiding anything, such that he is calling it "brazen" and "daring" for being legally budgeted for?

What manner of hysterical journalism is this anarchist trying to push to his mob of fellow hate group members?

Even if Peter Obi is voted President, Nigeria will still continue to support our neighbouring countries, one way or another, and they will be budgeted just as this "discovery" from an idle mind that serves the devil well.

Guy is an hack without commonsense.

I don't blame his followers. Millions of Nigerians notwithstanding their educational backgrounds can't think logically and are moved by sentiments.

You wonder why there are still GNLD scams and people still investing billions into MMM type schemes after all the publicity.

He has his audience and unfortunately they are in the millions.

Same people would turn around and praise a government 30 years ago for supporting South Africa, Zimbabwe etc without understanding that lots of these are targeted at helping with our internal security or even part of bilateral trade agreements.

Niger Republic is a conduit for a lot of the srms flowing in from Mali, Libya. We have a Multinational joint task force with them and as common sense would require we have to provide tools to help them help us.

Lots of examples are littered and reasons for such donations are common sense but nah the hack would always come through with sensationalising every damn thing.

He would fizzle out with time.. it is election period so their type would get all the attention.

Sterope:
That is a very different scenario. His child isn't hers and vice versa.

You have time to be answering that person.

Maybe reverse the situation and let's see how many of all those typing rubbish would say the same thing.

Even a normal kid is enough responsibility. You have to sacrifice your personal life till they are old enough let alone a child with special needs that needs 247 care.

I would not wish even my enemy such. Those who take care of those kids get paid for it. So it's a reward based system for them asides whatever passion they have helping such kids. To heap the responsibility of such on someone who was lied to, doesn't have passion for such, isn't paid and doesn't even have the required skills is wicked and absurd.

She should have left earlier.

@op. ho711 If you need transport fare back home. I would glady pay it. Don't let any single person guilt trip you into believing you are a bad person. Infact you are an extremely good person. To have stayed for two weeks is more than considerate.

You would be doing that kid and your own kid a lot of good by leaving. At least that would push the father to do the right thing and find the necessary care the poor child needs and gives you room to also concentrate on your own child and nuture it. Surround yourself with supportive family members and God grant you safe delivery. He can always have access to visitations and play the fatherly role. You are not taking away his kid. You are doing what is best for you, your child and his daughter.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
My broda, u can't blame them!

This regime has fatally pummeled their purchasing power. If u want us to pay the right costs for things, then be ready to pays a wage that will make that possible.

Increment of salary which is long overdue is the last thing they want to review upward

Why would they increase salaries?

Fuel---subsidized . 1 litre of fuel here is currently $1.48 That's about N800 per litre.
School ----subsidized(Only in Nigeria you pay $100 for University fees in a whole session. Even in Europe most public universities still charge a tuition of $1000).

Transport --- Subsidized
Power----subsidized
Road--- free( Only Lagos alone has a single tolled road).

The road tax of N2 they charge on each litre of petrol is beyond inadequate in comparison to the cost of roads. Probably should be about N50/litre or even more.

Taxes-- less than 10% of Nigerians pay taxes(Almost all artisans and small companies don't pay taxes. Whether income taxes for employees or even VAT for sales they make) even when their companies pass the threshold of those who should pay such taxes. In the North, the idea of VAT is even unheard of.

And by the way. What do those workers you want salary increment do? Half of them should be out of jobs. Isn't it the same workers that resume offices by 11am . Close by 3pm? If you want your life to be frustrated, have anything to collect or get approved with a civil servant in any government ministry. If you don't grease their hands, they are either needlessly wasting your time or making you seem like a slave to achieve such. Or is it the same ASUU, same lecturers we know. Same ones who won't come to class and only do 2/10 of their assigned responsibilities?

That is when you would know that the problem of Nigeria isn't the Leaders but the average Nigerians on the street. The same people shouting Buhari is bad is doing x10 worse in their own personal/official capacities.

armyofone:
Onegig,

Please how can I get a washing machine and dryer in Nigeria ?
Does it use generator or regular light / power ?

Fouani sells.

I had the LG 17kg washer and 9kg dryer combo. As at then it was like N600,000. With dollar prices , prolly around a million naira now. The good thing is those things last a lifetime. The warranty on mine was 10 years. So if you ammortize the cost over those years. It is more than worth it.


Uses regular light... Doesn't even consume that much . Much lesser than what a 1HP Ac would consume .


Don't buy tokunbo. Anything with running wheels and moving parts, don't even near tokunbo because you would regret it.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Same mentality that is why in 21st century naija, no 24 hour electricity, potable pipe borne water except for exclusive select few elite.

If Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Sergy, & Ford were Africans living in Nigeria, there is high probability that there will not be Facebook, Google or cars everywhere today! It will only be for exclusive select few elite with this your mentality.

You don't want to go there. A lot of Nigerians don't want to pay the right cost of things. Every single public utility is massively subsidized so why won't you get abysmal service? The roads you lots see online overseas were paid for by taxes of each family. Land use taxes for single homes alone is about $5000/year in most cities in the US. How many Nigerian houses even pay land use levies? The water you see is average of $40 per month. How many of you would pay N20,000 per month to have pipe borne water?

Fashola was right to say any serious government would resolve electricity in 6months. The only mistake he made was not factoring in the people the government was ruling over.

Increase electricity tarrif to 200 naira per kwh and see if we won't get investors to scale up electricity in less than a year. Ordinary 10Naira they wanted to add in January. NLC and every single Nigerian was about shouting themselves hoarse threatening mass strike and whatnot.

How many of you are willing to pay $4(2000)per bus ride even if it is 2 stops . Cost of diesel and cost of maintenance of such buses is the same world wide. Una no wan pay the real cost of things but want the same efficient services.

Only thing Nigerians pay the real cost of services is mobile services and you can see that the efficiency of such networks is at par with what you get in those so called advanced countries if not even better.

Can never happen in Naija.
They will just steal all the machines, hack the network and ruin the place and run away. Black men ! ���������

Lol.... mental slavery.

You lots should go out more. In Lagos alone there are tens of laundromats scattered everywhere.

Heck as far back as 2016 i was using an app to make payments for a laundromat in Lagos

May God heal lots of Nigerians from inferiority complex. Education isn't about sitting inside a four walled classroom. The internet is free and a google search isn't too far off.

at ceiling skyhigh prices? Available where? When u say available, it means in every nook & corner.

Sincerely I don't know what u guys are trying to defend. Another person here said only stingy & jjc peeps use the facilities over there! Typical African man mentality.

Chai.. too many villagers on Nairaland. Na una dey go overseas dey go disgrace Nigerians.

A lot of you are very naive. Lots of them live in Apartment buildings like barracks so it is much more economical to have a central laundromat than have hundreds of washing machines in each room. If your apartment does not have an internal laundry, then you must be living in the ghetto or likely student buildings. To be carrying laundry out to go do is "poor manly" even for large duvets. A 12kg washing machine would conveniently handle such.


Imagine the hours you spend waiting for such clothes to wash and dry, the energy you have to spend to go do the laundry when you could have just used your in house laundry while sleeping or busy doing something much more worthwhile?

So yeah, only someone with low mentality would think going to a laundromat is something he can use to flex to the point he is creating silly threads to look down on his countrymen.

Are you guys daft or what?


There are hundreds of laundromat here in Lagos.

I even use the app to make payments and stuff. So what they heck?

What's the big deal in washing machines?

A lot of you have very deep self esteem issues that's why you would always compare your country in bad light and a lot of you guys are from the village that's why such things freaks you . Heck i even had a dryer at home in Lagos. Never for once did we spread clothe outside.

Can't imagine someone posting pictures of laundromat as development? Like fr?

Vehicle also didn't have any deployed airbags which would have helped for a vehicle probably bought brand new.

Likely accidented and repaired...


For this amount of crash and Airbags not deploying means they were not present.
