Business › Scammed By 2512 Fashion by Origin(op): 7:54am On Jun 20, 2024
I would appreciate if this gets to front page so others don't get scammed....

Scammers get away with it because the scammed feel too embarrassed to out them to the world.

2512 fashion on Instagram blocked comments and customers and is continuing to post.
These are the accounts used to collect money.

If you know the owners of these accounts, or you've been scammed by the same vendor or another vendor, Share and let them be exposed for the world to see.

Food › Re: 5 Silent Killer-foods Nigerians Love by Origin(f): 4:36pm On Jun 09, 2024
All imported foods are killer foods in my opinion....


We still have not eaten or tried half of our local cuisine....



And remember the rise of acute disease also aligned with the rise of fast food and eateries.

Go natural eat local.
Politics › Re: Minimum Wage: Resign If You Can’t Pay, Labour Tackles Governors by Origin(f): 4:27pm On Jun 09, 2024
I'm loving these responses...

It is obvious we have allowed some overconfident, unfeeling and callous comments from the executives of this nation. They have repeatedly shown no capacity for leadership both in action and in words.


They continue to feel confident that the masses can do nothing to them and it beefs their confidence.
Politics › Re: Labour Vows To Reject Meagre Addition To ₦60,000 As Minimum Wage by Origin(f): 9:27pm On Jun 04, 2024
Let's wait and see...

Of course the net pay is more important than the gross. And the minimum taxable income would have to be increased....

Just putting that out there for consideration....



Government should show good faith by reducing it's cost of governance or else restrict maximum pay of any elected officials to a percentage of the minimum wage
Foreign Affairs › Re: US Senator Graham Claims Israel Has Right To Strike Gaza With Nuclear Weapon by Origin(f): 7:41pm On May 13, 2024
I support peace wholeheartedly.....


We see how warmongers want to destroy the earth... Apart from the massive loss of lives, they still want to destroy the earth.

They are the same people building (end of the war) bunkers and looking for space on Mars because of this crazy logic that they must destroy this ONE & ONLY BEAUTIFUL EARTH WE HAVE.

Let every country cease fire and let peace reign....

We've not seen a single winner just losses left and right, lives, properties and families destroyed, enmity and rivalry and fighting just thriving.


LET PEACE REIGN.

And where is the blood splatter from using such a gunhuh


Let the police be the ones reporting on this cases so we know they are on top of it....

The root of the problem started from the 70shuh??

Who wrote thishuh?
Politics › Re: New CBN Policy: This Is Too Much Punishment For Nigerians - Seyi Law To Tinubu by Origin(f): 8:01am On May 08, 2024
I was expecting this for a very long time....

As governor then he increased taxes levies and the likes.... As that was the only and major source of income....

But this is too much too soon and I really am disappointed at the response from all agencies that used to keep the government in check. This silence is deafening and obvious..,


And we still do not have any control on corruption, no detailed budget, no control on government spending.
Business › Re: MTN Nigeria Reports ₦‎575.69 Billion Pre-Tax Loss In First Quarter Of 2024 by Origin(f): 4:49pm On Apr 30, 2024
More analysis is required.

For such a business did it have any additional capital investments in the periodhuh

Why did it have such high impact fx losses. On what huh?

Do they use a lot of expatriate employees. What are their major OPEX spend...

Businesses can make losses not only from macro economic variables but also from poor decision making. ( I believe that particular company has the highest paid top officer in Nigeria, you do the maths)
Politics › Re: Adebayo Adelabu: Accept Electricity Tariff Hike Or Face Total Blackout by Origin(f): 4:41pm On Apr 30, 2024
Come at me with facts and figures let us reason together.

Private local GenCos exists using CNG to generate electricity and their cost of production is not that high. We have access to wind turbines (for the shores) which is not being exploited. How much do we generate power. How much is it sold to DisCos
and what is the margin....

Companies cannot keep making costly/non economic decisions just because they are a monopoly or a public enterprise.


It is privatised but with no competition.....let private investors into that industry and let us see the outcome.
Politics › Re: Peter Obi Vehemently Condemns Lagos-Calabar Highway As A Misplaced Priority by Origin(f): 4:28pm On Apr 30, 2024
No infrastructure is misplaced but not mitigating losses or at least pursuing a win win outcome with the affected land/ business owners......


That is investment and future taxes down the drain and investors ( future and foreign) may read into it.
Education › Re: Outcome Of 2024 Utme Results, Who Is To Be Blamed? Parents, Teacher Or Students? by Origin(f): 4:25pm On Apr 30, 2024
In mass failure you will need to query the common denominator. ..

The exam questions were probably not based on expected curriculum.....

A levels is different from O levels.
Politics › Re: How Yahaya Bello Allegedly Paid His Children's School Fees Of $845,000 by Origin(f): 8:35am On Apr 26, 2024
One thing about other people's money (OPM) is that people spend it stupidly......


We see this in business in the mismanagement of shareholder's funds, in finance in the mismanagement of loans and in public servants in the mismanagement of public funds.


It's not today but it can be embarrassing to see learned very religious people show their true colors over OPM.
Politics › Re: 95 Million Nigerians Need To Register For NIN, Says NIMC by Origin(f): 3:23pm On Apr 16, 2024
I am affected so I will speak out.

It is embarrassing the number of resources available to cater to a 100 million Nigerians.

For NIN, driver's license, international passport. How much is a laptop, camera and fingerprint machine that we continue to have long queues that wastes time and money every single day.

The government should please wise up and outsource to business center.

The NIN has a single customer care number that is NEVER reachable. Try it yourself. I ve spent hours trying to get feedback on issues I am told can only be resolved by this avenue.

Tried emails too no response for weeks....


Then one human being will now boast that he/she was the head of a parastatal for four to eight years. What were your accomplishmentshuh?
Education › Re: Student Captured Berating Teacher In Viral Video by Origin(f): 3:15pm On Apr 16, 2024
Overzealous parents and people pleasing owners of school are the cause of this.


Of course his parents are rich ( or better still controlled by their sense of richness)...

I wouldn't dare, my parents would still beat me. Worse if there is video evidence. That means they will play it and beat me everyday.

A teacher is an instituted authority, and should have given adequate punishment eg wash the surroundings and other forms of serious exercise.

I know there are still good schools that would suspend that kid no matter what.
Business › Re: First Bank Debtors. Starcomms Owing N40b by Origin(f): 3:48pm On Apr 03, 2024
Why would you lend our so much without collateralhuh??

All the past and present executives should be fined.


By the way all banks do this. They keep approving unrealistic budgets and earn unjustified bonuses. The CBN has not fulfilled its oversight function.
Health › Re: Residents Rescue New Born Baby Dumped In Wild Park Bush In Jos (Graphic) by Origin(f): 12:54pm On Mar 21, 2024
The government should ask around. The parents might not live far away. Who knows who dumped that baby. It looks several weeks old with the healed belly button....

Someone knows that child and it's mother

Never ever take this type of statistics seriously....

No indepth analysis, no underlying data, no comparative data, no industry analysis, what metrics where used, data sources.....


Which service sector specificallyhuh? Provide drill down numbers...

What was the effect of the mass exodus from Nigeria (Japa) on that sector huh?
Politics › Re: Tinubu: We Will Raise $10 Billion To Stabilise Naira, Boost FX Liquidity by Origin(f): 10:25pm On Feb 20, 2024
Short term fix.


As long as everyone continues to use importer rather than local goods. The demand for fx will always stack higher than the naira....

From your gate to your living room to your bedroom everyone uses 90% imported in their homes. Even when local is available and cheaper. We all still opt for these imported items.......



We all know the solution but the fruit of corruption is to steal as to use all that glitters that is not gold....

Buy local to grow the Naira.


And it is still the same corruption that has our fx rising because our main trade partner is China and we should be concerned about the yen but our loans and corruption is in dollars.
Business › Re: Chinese 'Sharprite' Store Opens Right Opposite 'Shoprite' In SA (PICS) by Origin(f): 10:11pm On Feb 20, 2024
One thing about competition is the opportunity to have choice from a range of selection....

And that is where grit meets strategy meets good leadership.


Clean business dealings..
Business › Re: ‘From 5k To 13k’ : How Dollar Rate To Naira Affected Cement Prices In Nigeria by Origin(f): 10:43pm On Feb 17, 2024
Just stop buying....

Prices are a function of demand and supply. Stop buying and watch the prices fall to a realistic level.....

Prices will rise is a scare tactic that will keep deman up. Just stop buying .

There is no tangible justification for cement sugar etc to be that high. Or why a Nigerian used vehicle will be 3x it's price cos of fx.


Or a marketer that has old goods or stock should increase price due to fx and yes people have lots of old stock in warehouse but want to sell at inflated prices.
Business › Re: Why Exactly Is The Cement Price Going Up This Way? by Origin(f): 6:52pm On Feb 17, 2024
Because it's a monopolistic market.....

No incentive to manage cost or even bargain competitive prices.


Nigerians should BOYCOTT all non essentials goods for now. That is the only solution.
Politics › Re: FG Summons Dangote, BUA Over Rising Cost Of Cement by Origin(f): 6:49pm On Feb 17, 2024
There is no justification in the rise of many goods and services....

Using local materials should not result in high prices from fx. Even if some components of materials are imported .. ..


And this is where we see the true CEOs/MDs. Who always think they are the best because everything goes well. Not all goods can benefit from an increase in prices.....

What is your strategy or will you just blame it on fx. Banks MD have not been able to show any strategy to manage the losses from the floating fx. With all their huge salaries, it's the shareholders bearing the losses


Nigerians should also understand their power and BOYCOTT all goods that are non essential for now.

THE CUSTOMER IS STILL KING. THE POPULACE IS STILL KING.

Romance › Re: Man Caught Lady He Trained In School For 7 Years In A Church With Another Man by Origin(f): 9:55pm On Feb 13, 2024
Then why did you not marry herhuh??

All this yearshuh

I have seen people that "trained" girls to school, they sleep with them; the girls wash their clothes; cook for them take care of their every every....

Which seems like quid pro quo already......


They even cheat on this girls all in the name of where will she go. But the only thing they will say is na me train am. Did u get any benefit in return ogahuh
Politics › Re: DSS Quizzes Sheikh Auwal Shariff For Criticizing Tinubu Over Hardship by Origin(f): 9:52am On Feb 13, 2024
That was a huhhuh? thing to do. You have not sat with your team, you don't have a plan at hand to reduce the hardship that will result from the removal and you just make pronouncements like that??

You don't know how much you have in the Treasury ( in your own purse ) and yet the first thing you do is buy brand new cars for the legislative and they in turn approve a budget that has no details......

Till now we don't know the plan all we see is rampant travelling.....Does he or his team understand the economyhuh?


But they understand how to enjoy their own good life....
Politics › Re: EFCC Raises Task Force Against Dollarization Of Economy by Origin(f): 9:49am On Feb 08, 2024
Case in point....

Microsoft has an office in Nigeria but still raises invoices in dollars.

Over to you EFCC.

Not sure they pay WHT or VAT on said invoices. And practically everyone uses their service/ product.
Politics › Re: CAC Hides INTELS Ownership, Frustrates Request For Disclosure by Origin(f): 9:00pm On Feb 06, 2024
Information that should be easily accessible online.




Food for thought:

Let the FiRS and CAC link systems - so as to file financial returns once. And let the systems be searchable and updatable. Meaning that financial records of decades can be viewed compared and easily updated.

Industry wide data and statistics. Also procurement details must be separately disclosed. This would aid costing of private and public projects.
