[quote author= post=116090618]Wailers will always wail,
No matter the news.

It's in them just like Peak Milk

Happy Wailing ooo [/quote]Brother, you seem to always want to be on the side of government. I wonder why? Honestly brother, these guys both past and present have failed all of us.

See this Omani airport below, it was built with 1.8 billions usd, that’s like less than a month of oil sales here and we have been unable to build a better one in Nigeria but rather we are patching broken tiles at MMI Airport (see photo). Isn’t it a shame?

Please don’t support these crooks. They are really not doing us all well.

Other countries have so left us behind. I feel so sad visiting other countries and they getting better and better every year and we in Nigeria are regressing. It’s sad.

Two can play that game. I think Zelensky and the SBU are playing a very dangerous game that may cost the lives of all those administering Ukraine at the moment. Russia has previously made it clear that the decision centers will be targeted.

Members of the parliament, ruling party members, governing cabinet and the aides to the president. Zelensky is really pushing the envelope by targeting pro Russian administrators and journalist.

Zelensky has been left unharmed because Russia needed someone to control the chaos in Ukraine while the war raged. They left the governing structure in place despite the feigned attack on Kiev at the onset of the war.

It’s sad this clown thinks all of this is a comedy because he has been left vertical since the war began.

HarryDuce:
So an unauthorised super tanker that was not cleared to be in the area somehow found it's way to Akpo field. An OIL TANKER.

The navy and NNPC just. . . Let it? When oil theft is on the all time high?

Didn't the navy mark zero cases of piracy for the first time in 30 years a few days back? How then was the oil tanker able to gain access UNHINDERED?

Thank God for Equatorial Guinea, at least we get to hear of it before it's pushed under the rug.

This country is truly on autopilot.

I think the better questions go be say:
(1) who get akpo field?
(2) who hire the tanker?
(3) who load the tanker?

Orobo no get just drive enter akpo to carry crude. Na big men runs wey cast be this. And no be today them don dey thieve the crude... na them them... ITT

Politicians have failed this country. How come we keep pandering to their whims and caprices? But my people never want to learn from their past errors. They keep repeating the same over and over again. Why would any reasonable Nigerian ever follow folks like Reno and the kogi dude with exotic cars -what’s the name again? These are part of the political class whose policies are designed to enrich themselves at the expense of the masses. They are charlatans, frauds masquerading as political analysts.

Look at the mess they have brought upon the economy, with idiocratic policies.
The looming inflation will be on steroid for an import-dependent nation. Nigeria customs have raised surface duty to a minimum of 3 Million. For some age of cars - I think 2002-made cars and upward- are paying over a million duty minimum. It going to be tough for government to further raise revenue through customs. and they don’t have the brains to think of a more sophisticated taxing regime other than using “o wo mi da” boys for a largely informal economy.

I am afraid the “Japa” exercise will continue. Many have lost hope on this entity. Doctors and nurses are leaving to west. Since this is a good export for an impoverished country, why can’t we build more nursing schools and medical schools? Train more of them and export to the west..... this is a no brainer!

Nigeria needs a radical leader, a person with the cojones to stick a finger at the hornets nest and tell the rampaging politicians, “o to ge!” .... a person who will tell the Nigeria people, “ change your way.” ..... to the churches, “ stop the scam.” A leader who can think and enact policy that would revive the dearth of the nation.

We need a Sankara!

Ex-General Takes Arise TV Presenter, Oseni Rufai, To The Cleaners

Cc Lalasticlala


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10C6UT7Avp0

I think the Ex-General has not had the chance to watch Africa Eye documentaries on banditry. If he had, then he’d have known that the military and police are failing.

A national army is struggling to contain a bunch of armed aggrieved Fulani youths in their thousands who feel banditry and kidnapping is their own way of getting a share of the National cake just the way the politicians are doing.

Aside the jihadi inspired violence on the Borno axis, The zamfara axis was an opportunity for the military to restore some lost pride after so many failures battling Jihadist in the NE. They should have made a minced meat of these boys in bushes of kaduna and Zamfara. Isn’t that a failure?

Now the boys have grown so much balls from successful encounters with the Nigerian army and police, they are now threatening the central government in Abuja, even successfully raiding a HighSec prison. Isn’t that a failure?

What’s the DSS doing? Why haven’t they infiltrated these boys in Bush for over many years? What do they do with their budget? Guarding politicians? Raiding opponents on the whims of the president? What do they do? If journalists can gain access to the bandits, then our intel folks are a failure too

Let’s call a spade a spade... situation is difficult here.

Well, if we really want to get this country off this mess, we must not give in to these two-tongued folks who often change allegiances when it suits their pocket.

Keyamo was part of the current administration that did not live up to the hype in 2015. We don’t need any more hype to grow some brain. Like Reno, Sowore, Charlie boy, adeyanju, these folks are often after their own. Don’t ever take them serious. These are a bunch of educated morons who can not provide real solution to our problems. They could come on air and in script bamboozle you with jargons but give them a position of authority to make some change they fail woefully.

Enough of these charlatans!

OkoYibo:
Why won't I bring Peter Obi? Is it not one of the forest animals supporting Obi that insulted Chimaraoke?

I am telling you that Obi is a compound failure, comparing both leaders side by side, asking you to give me Obi's legacy projects and you can't mention a single one.

If any charlatan is masquerading as a Saviour, it is Peter Obi who killed more than 1,000 Igbo youths at his abattoir in Awkuzu SARS.

Okay, now it is so obvious who you are.

Anyway, thanks for the chat.

OkoYibo:
Nnamani has legacy projects in Enugu. Law school, Air force Sec School, Esut Teaching Hospital, Esuth (teaching hospital), Ebeano tunnel, etc.

Peter Obi who didn't steal, tell us his legacy projects in Anambra.
Point to Obi's legacy projects in Anambra.

Hmm... just curious; this thread is about Chimaroke Nnamani, not about Peter Obi.

Why are you bringIng Obi to this discussion?

I hope you are not one of ‘em paid warriors?

Please don’t support Chimaroke... he is bad news, please! We are tired of these charlatans masquerading as saviors -thinking his sins are forgiven.

OkoYibo:
Chimaroke Nnamani wants to use Obi to gain popularity or what is this one vomitting? Do you have an idea who Ebeano is at all?

More than 12 years ago, he delivered a report at the Senate off-hand and it attracted a standing ovation from the entire Senate. That is the person you are comparing to a Peter Obi who struggled to graduate with 3rd Class.

When Nnamani was building bridges and tunnels in Enugu state, Peter Obi was busy killing Anambra youth with his boy James Nwafor of Awkuzu SARS.

Honestly, a lot of you Obedient clowns are politically and historically daft.

What are you saying? Is Chimaroke not the clown who was a doctor in the US, had the chance to rule Enugu state but absolutely misgoverned the state? This guy is an absolute crook, no doubt; stole so much from Enugu state and did nothing for them. Dude built estate and stole almost all of the housing in the estate for himself and cronies.

Please don’t support this fraud.

I left the counter and walked past the people waiting oluwa on guard

I think the V.O. liked the fact that you were honest through out the interview.

You know this US Visa thingy... sometimes honesty might work, other times mar.

Shizzy03:
Pls I need the whatsapp link to the group for abuja, or pls add me(09063547064). Thanks.

I think the V.O. judged your application based on the fact that you had done masters in the USA and returned back to Nigeria. That’ would convince anyone that you are not an intending migrant.

Congratulation

Hey everyone,
Please need your feedback on the below
Visa Denied ❌❌❌
First Attempt
COA: $54,000
Deficit: $40,000
Location: Lagos

VO: good morning, pass me your visa and I-20
VO: tell me your plans to study actuarial science.
VO: Actually, it’s MS Business Analytics, actuarial science is the general name. I am currently a senior finance manager where my role involves analysis and drawing insights from data to support decisions. This degree would help me become more technical in my role and be able to draw more insights and add more value to my company.
VO: how do you plan to finance this program
Me: I have a number of sources, personal savings, loan from Mpower $24,000 and the scholarship and some support from my family. (My dad is on there as a suppose with $4,500).
VO: who is Bleep to you. He is my father, he’ll be sponsoring a part of the program.
VO: do you have a relation in the US.
Me: Yes I do, my brother is a Legal Permanent Resident currently who is working with A big four, he has worked with two big four but currently with one of them as a senior reporting accountant.
VO: what do you do for work?
I am currently a s manager of finance where I suppose c-level executives in decision support by analyzing large data sets and supporting strategic decision. I am looking to become more technical in my role which is why I am going for an Analytics Degree instead of of an MBA. The analytics degree will give me the experience needed to be a subject matter expert in my field.
VO: I’m sorry you don’t qualify for a visa at this time…

What I noticed is when I started explaining how I will fund the Degree, when I started with personal savings she had a serious look and took a second look at my I-20.

Please what could I be missing here

I think you had a good reply to her questions. But the issue I see here is funding.. you have to work on the funding part. - it appears a bit disjointed: 4500 from dad, 24k MPOWER Loan, a bit here and there.

You know one thing about US visa, there are many factors that could convince a visa officer to grant a visa. From the onset of the interview, visa officers view every applicant as a potential migrant unless convinced otherwise. Forget that thing about open mind... their mind is closed until your circumstance convinces them to open up and take a look at your situation. There are many factors that could convince an officer to issue a white: good funding, working at a top tier firm, rich and popular dad, relevant course of study, appearing intelligent, good looks, and believe this -good vibes etc..

Try again, bro.

james078:
Seriously I am tired.

People only want to see the bad sides of people because that is how they were brought up for they don't believe anyone could be genuinely sincere and unfortunately peter obi don't have the evil dey are looking for so their best efforts are to twist words, narratives and events to suit their ego and deceive the gullible.

Unfortunately this is how we will end up with another disaster.
I will do the best I can because I can't convince everybody.
I saw the disaster in 2015 and made warnings of the mistake to be made but I was ignored.

Meanwhile everybody eye go clear again cause when Tinubu wins I will still be here glancing through as the wailing continues.

Hi James, I am writing this as a morale boost for your effort. I know you are frustrated when you read posts from people who are so deranged in view of Nigerian issues. I wish I had the energy at this age to follow up the crazies on NL who are paid trolls and the not-so-bright folks who view Nigeria as a stomach infrastructure project.

A lot of us read these comments but are so turned off to comment because they are just too many kids on NL Who are so quick to show grass ignorance on matters. It’s frustrating fending ‘em off. I wish I had your energy.

Thanks for fighting ignorance on this platform, and educating those willing to learn. Thanks

And how soon can I reapply?

I am seriously down since yesterday, please help me out.

First of all, so Many things went wrong in this transcript.

The truth really did hurt you in this case:

5 years just to visit hubby with the kids
Hubby supporting you all from his GTA
The weight of your salary @ current position

Read your transcript and put yourself in the position of VO whose primary task is to check migration from this end.

NIA,DIA,DSS,POLICE,ARMY,AIRFORCE, NAVY ,could not prevent this attack via intelligence gathering.

When the leader is dumb and appoints people based on tribe and merit,this what you have.

Honestly, I do think our army are not adequately trained and equipped.

Why day-light recon in thick foliage, not knowing they will be ambushed? This is no brainer

Don’t they have a terrain map as a national military? With the terrain map, you know your waylay points and cut off points.

Don’t they have night vision goggles? If they can’t afford military night kits, at least they could buy the cheap hunting night kit on JIJI.

IR heat sensors can reveal the militants position in a forest despite camouflage

I think for years our military have been siphoning off budgeted funds without buying proper gears for the men on guards; just AK47 only

Either the commanding officers are poorly executing the counterterrorism operation due to lack of adequate training or due lack of equipments.

Drones are cheap for Christ sake... the Russians have been successful at using these drones to hunt out dug-in enemies

matrixme:
Is it advisable to use these generators in such an enclosed place with no natural ventilation to cool off the heat? I'm not an engineering inclined person but I know big diesel generators with inbuilt noise cancellation boxes always have it open during operation. Kind of like it defeats the main purpose due to feasibility and sustainability anyway.

It has an extractor fan on the adjacent side to take the exhaust gas out. Look closely at the door, there are vent lines for fresh air.

Basically, this is a box frame padded to cancel noise, and with an extractor fan to exchange air. Fan has been wired to the AC outlet of the generator. Once the generator is started, and power supply turned on, the fan rolls.

I think price and copycats will be a hinderance to this innovation. A person on WhatsApp quoted 295,000 as preorder price. .. twice the price of elemax and more expensive than a 2kw “quiet” inverter generator.

Loading the Jumbo machines with my heavy duty materials.
..... with the commencement of washing....

I like the way they setup pancake shop and some other hangout joint next to the laundromat. Nice to relax while you wait out the washers.

I wish we have this in Nigeria around the neighborhoods. People need facilities to make their live easier. The craze here in Lagos are supermarkets, but I wish they are more structured like malls with other facilities in them


I have a friend who wanted to setup this laundromat (smaller scale) with gas boilers and semi-automated industrial washers. He wanted to bring in these machines from
Korea. Running this setup with small generator will be difficult.

I think if these honchos in charge of Nigeria can just give a thought the misery here and use a fraction of their wealth to just fix up this place. The country go nice..
