Politics / Re: I Only Get N577k Monthly Pension From Lagos – Fashola by ONNYX: 7:31pm On Jan 20 |
TimeManager: You know my respect for Raji Fashola dissipated in 2015. This was my all time favourite Public Administrator. He did two things that shocked me into realising that there are no saints in Politics. I watched him closely on TV as the Ministerial portfolios were being read out. He looked calm and apparently reflective. I felt that he would immediately after that jamboree meet with the President and decline at least one portfolio. He didn't and I knew that he was now an administrative disaster just waiting to happen. Truly, the contracts governing the sale of the power distribution companies were not progressive or result oriented at least to the Nigerian people as represented by the government and worse still they could not be terminated. He said so in different fora and who could know better than Raji Fashola S.A.N? At that point the honourable thing to do is to resign from the position stating your reasons clearly. Perhaps some of us would have forgiven his loose lip proclamation about the provision of public power not being rocket science. 1 Like |

flore1823: Sometimes I wonder if we actually allow our education to dictate our reasoning. It beats me that several responses have supported the seller whereas the fundamental issue here......at least drawing from the evidence provided by the buyer in the chats exchange screenshots......; Seller advertised items Buyer made his choices from the advertised wares and informed seller. There were delays in delivery .....avoidable or unavoidable but the issue was there was some understanding. Items prepared for shipment and taken to the first option third-party delivery agent; GIG. Photo taken at GIG office with the chosen equipment wrapped. Price exorbitant, second option; Venue Links tried price also high... Please note no pictures at this point. Goods now delivered through a seller recommended but relatively unknown logistics company......I don't remember if there were pictures of the items at this point. Good sent, delivered. Buyer received items. Definitely not what he wanted. A classical case of what I ordered vs what I got. 10 Likes |
Food / A Healthy Approach To Consuming Eggs by ONNYX: 10:55am On Jan 20 |
Today I decided to embellish my eggs with vegetables just to take the boredom out of regular scrambled eggs or the plainness of an omelette. Pictures below. Ingredients later. 1 Like

Career / Re: This Happened In My New Work Place. Please advice by ONNYX: 1:11pm On Jan 13 |
Jackanda1: You need a minimum of three months to prove your actual value to the firm. In all tasks go the extra mile. Become almost indispensable. By the end of the first or second month they will try to preempt your request for a raise by paying higher that what was initially offered. Take the increase quietly and then by the third or sixth month when the picture of your duties and contributions are clear you can sit down and negotiate hard. |

epainos: And you think responding with some civility would do you any harm? Not everyone on Nairaland is your mate Sir. If you met some people on this forum in real life you would genuflect to greet them. Your English is quite good and that should ordinarily indicate some breeding and pedigree.....but alas that is not the case. |

Business / Re: Mike Adenuga Net Worth Hits $7.4 Billion, Becomes Nigeria’s Second Richest by ONNYX: 8:02am On Jan 12 |
Rostikol: This is a very sad. He does not owe you/us. The money is entirely his. He chooses how he should spend it. You too can make money and then decide to build us a brand new stadium and hospitals and free hospitals and schools. We would be grateful. It is only government that owes you these public structures. Allow the man breathe. He has committed no crime. I come in peace. |
Politics / Re: Tinubu Summons Interior Minister, Tunji-Ojo by ONNYX: 9:24am On Jan 10 |
I took my time to read through the whole thread. Two very pertinent questions came up as far as I am concerned. If this man was a shareholder in Julius Berger, Nigerian Breweries, Cadbury or indeed any other First Rate MNC a d the company was awarded a contract, would this be our reaction? Secondly, there has been stories of him being the most performing minister in this administration? Should we then throw out the baby with the bathwater? It took a lot of convincing to get Barth Nnaji to come and take a Ministerial appointment. He started a great job and by now going by his antecedents we would have gone far with power generation, transmission and distribution. He was however sent home even when it was obvious that certain powerful elements wanted him out. Even if his success is just the provision of passports for every Nigerian through a hitch fee and timely process then he deserves to remain in that seat perhaps with a strict warning. |
Fashion / Re: How Genuine Are The Fragrance Sold In Nigeria? by ONNYX: 1:10pm On Jan 08 |
Great thread. Is there anyone here who is knowledgeable about Smart Collection? It's a good everyday perfume to use while the expensive ones can be used for serious outings? Better still...is there anyone in Nairaland selling smart Collection? |

oladipuposadeeq: Bros! I salute. I want to make a little contribution here. The correct usage is Waybill. Weighbill( or sometimes weightbill) even from it's simple etymology became acceptable because of preponderant use. That however doesn't make it right. A similar example can be seen in the use of long tennis to represent lawn tennis. However after all said and done what is most important is effective delivery of meaning...... communication. 13 Likes |
Politics / Re: Ex-NNPC ED, Alex Ogedengbe Doubts Port Harcourt Refinery Will Work This December by ONNYX: 4:32pm On Dec 06, 2023 |
Sangoamadioha1: You are expending a lot of effort to make this gentleman look bad before us. You even went as far as assuming.......and even broadcasting the assumption that being a former M.D he must be involved in some dirt/fraud or another. You will have heartbreak the day you did over that some people have attained great heights in government, worked their bum off without stealing a dime from public coffers. If you had listened to the interview you would have known that this man is one person who tried his best in the circumstances he worked. That's the best he could offer then and that's what he did. |

OssyMalik: It's a good brand but unfortunately, it has a lot of competition in the mainstream market. The poster that offered you 5k is quite generous. It's a fair price. Around Ikeja underbridge you will get this product for between 3.5 - 4.5 depending on the product origin and your bargaining ability. Then again your sourcing price will also determine the selling price. If you buy at a high price you cannot offer competitive prices. And then there is the looming issue of delivery cost which further soars the cost of acquisition. Think about it. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Zeus123: At the bolded.....I can tell you there is nothing funny about Achebe in global literary circles. The man is an iconoclast who keeps rising like a phoenix even after his death. I have been to a few literary events and I can tell you that the very mention of Achebe always lightens the room. By the way, perhaps Google will help you appreciate Achebe and his exploits better. Why not try finding out how many languages his work has been translated into. That should give you a general idea. Pls I am not Igbo. Just a Nigerian who appreciates accomplishments. 3 Likes |

tugbala11: This post exudes balance. Kudos Sir. You captured this very well. With the soaring costs in transportation you actually get better value when you live as close as possible to where you work. There is no science in the matter. The only problem we have now is that people don't do any analysis anymore. All they ask is " what is the offer?" |
Politics / Re: Kanayo O. Kanayo Blasts Reno Omokri For Mocking Peter Obi Over Mr Ibru by ONNYX: 8:24am On Oct 20, 2023 |
valentineuwakwe: Sometimes I really wonder how low one man can sink. Despite all his education and exposure this man keeps hitting unprecedented lows. Peter Obi, Atiku and Tinubu do not owe Mr. Ibu in this matter. Neither does Dangote, Otedola or Maduka. It's a humanitarian cause and has to be done voluntarily. What Reno is resorting to is very cheap blackmail. This is even enough reason for Peter Obi to refrain from helping in this particular case. I hate to think that a fully grown human being can play this kind of stupid game even I. The face of this calamity. 2 Likes |
