You know Cher though? She's an Icon!

Sure! Sure!
Her voice alone is a signature.
But I mainly know her relatively recent song, believe and others

It's in his kisss!
That's where it is!"

Just hearing this song for the first time - Love It!!!!!

...what we created in Nigeria is what you see and hear now as Afrobeats.

you overate yourself Akon. Akon is a great guy but Afrobeats is way bigger than what he thinks

I initially thought it was one of those vacuous attempt at self promotion we see on the frontpage but when I heard EMZOR - I was like put some respeck on that name - kudos!

Thing is, if you were to give the average man out there a choice between being 'brushed' and harassed there and then by force men or be arrested and taken to the police, most people will choose the harassment.

So 5 years down the line from my initial comment it is only fair for me to give an update on my experience with Adron and I daresay it has not been rosy at all.

I have been trying to dispose the land for 3 years now and I have not been able to get a buyer due to several factors connected with how Adron operates. In fact, they offer no assistance whatsoever if you try to sell off their lands and it is incredibly difficult to sell on your own because the land documents and title are usually with Adron.

To put things in perspective, the naira today has lost up to four/five times its value as at the time I bought it. That means 1M then would be worth about 4/5M now but guess what, I have plaxed the Land in sale for even 2 or 3 times the amount I bought and still no buyer.

It's a crazy situation really

pak:
Those hidden charges are often not so hidden...

It's actually on their website if you bother to check and on the contract document you're given after payments.

I am more interested in buying as a hedge against inflation and by my experience, their lands appreciate relatively fast.

Angels do walk amongst us

Aonkuuse:
Children should be taught in their mother tongue..... If you have a school with mixed languages, you can use English language but Nigerians should stop using fluent English speaking as measure for intelligence.

There is no urban area without schools with kids of mixed languages and then you have the problem of standardization. WIth over 500 languages, how are you going to set and maintain standards in all the languages

Publicity for a marathon yet no information about the distance, no information about the course, the starting point, the finishing point or how interested runners can register.

You just know that these ones are likely jokers seeking attention

Bayajjidda:
What do you mean by impact of NGO is huge on the economy? Can you explain that?

Most of these NGOs especially supposedly leader go around sleeping with different ladies, promising them jobs. They don't mind employing ladies that are not qualified and compent to lead those that are competent, so long they will be getting regular sex dosage. The immorality I witnessed there is out of this world.

I mean the town is flush with NGO/AID money,
The sector is one of the biggest employer of white collar jobs aside Govt.
They also form one of the biggest patrons for hotels, conferences and other hospitality providers.

I am curious to see how the suspension of AID money will affect the economy of Maiduguri as a whole

So are they saying in total, it will cost 100M?

Bayajjidda:
You mean the fraudulent NGOs that use USAID fund to fund their immorality lifestyles? Yes, I know what I'm saying, come to Borno State and see it for yourself.

Can you shed more light on this. I went to Maid last year and I could see the impact of NGO is huge on the economy

Is this Khalifa Inyass the son of the popular Sheik Ibrahim Inyass?

olenyi:
How did it later go? Successful?

It wasn't, at least not yet.

The interview felt good to me and the interviewer gave me hope by wishing me best of luck in the remaining stages but 3 days later, which is the maximum for interview responses, I got the decline mail - maybe they saw a better fit candidate.

Anyway, I am not sweating it, cos I just got a major project here that my keep me glued for the whole of February, so I wn't be looking for any foreign work till I am done.

As an aside, this code generator AIs are really making things difficult for developers seeking work cos most companies seem to be downsizing now rather than adding more numbers

If you say 20 million dollars now, we for reason.

I already have more than 20 million naira cash so the red door holds no attraction. That's less than 15k dollars

Tattara holds an unforgettable memory for me.
The town is along the Abuja - Keffi - Jos road. Not too far from Keffi.

That was the location where I had my only serious accident till date. It was so bad that when I came out of the car, the people that came to help where asking me who was in the car, they couldn't believe someone in the crash can come out with his two feet on his own.

The road has been inaccessible to travellers for almost two years now due to the activities of bandits and criminals.

RIP to the dead

I just passed the coding challenge at the 2nd attempt.
Got 73%, which is apparently a pass mark.

Their coding interface has been a mess for a while now

What difference does this really make?
Whether it is bandits or Lakurawa terrorist?
Are they trying to say it is more honorable to be killed by Lakurawa terrorist than bandits because I am confused by the point of all this

Zege7716:
Benin ancestry is not Yoruba, it's only the Oba's ancestry that comes from there. The mistake people make is to think that the King and the people share common ancestry. Some of these Kingship came about about by conquest and not necessarily by being indigenous.

This is profound.
A people's ancestory might not be the same as their king's ancestry. In Adamawa state, the Modibbo Adama family are Fulani conquerors who are not native to the region

He who comes to equity must come with cleans hands.

Baba too is one of the reasons we are where we are today and the next generations will continue to be.

This post is specifically about debt profile.
OBJ isn't perfect but how is he responsible for today's debt burden if he secured debt relief from the humongous debts Babangida and Abacha left behind only for Buhari and TInubu to balloon it

Everybody should if we want all parts of the country to develop

Asiwaju and Jagaban essentially mean the same thing.
One who leads from the front

gofigurena:
Hi again, everyone. I'm happy to announce that despite the fears and my mistake, everything turned out perfectly fine. Won't be heading back to the East today because we concluded late. Will take off morrow morning.

This is awesome news Baba.
I was one of the skeptics but I am glad things went well, congrats.

How come you were able to register the car and also get a number plate within a day. Did they preregister it for you before you came ?

what does digitise tax collection mean again?

Almost every state in the country already use electronic means for tax collection, these guys will just create another ceremony around what already exist and then give out new contracts.

Wish them the best in their endeavours

Kobojunkie:
How exactly do you expect the government to go back after it has literally embezzled (and mismanaged the rest) the funds that many have saved from the removal of subsidy, money(in addition to that saved from reducing government bloat) would have sensibly gone to implementing and sustaining Safety Net programs for the poor and disenfranchised?
► Even with all the looting, NNPCL came up with a $6 Billion hole which it probably expected to continue looting Nigerians to pay for. So, where money dey?
►Where do you expect the government to get money to reinstate fuel subsidies of the kind that existed before the May 29th, 2023 debacle? At this point, why?

I am replying to this, as a bookmark.
Cos the post is the true position

The commentator kept calling the American No 2 Barcenas rather than her real name Jocelyn Travers.
Anyway, she seems to be very talented and one for the future

immortalcrown:
The unfriendliness of the taxation system lies in the tax rate (the total amount an individual pays yearly) and how you use the tax, not in the divisions of the tax.

10 different taxes that amount to 1,000 Naira yearly are better than a single tax that amounts to 5,000 Naira yearly.

So, does your e-ticket reduce the amount an individual pays as yearly tax and ensure prudent spending of the taxes? If not, be sincere to say that your concern is not about the taxpayers but about collecting all the money from the untrustworthy tax collectors you deploy.

As you introduce the single tax system, be accountable as well. May God help your administration to serve well.

You make a point but one of the disadvantages of multiple taxation is that it gives room for fraud especially when dealing with poorly educated informal sector. It is easier to slot in an illegal levy when traders are already paying up to 10 or 20 different taxes

Kobojunkie:
Your government is playing on you all the same game that IBB played on Nigerians during SAP. IBB lied that he was busy implementing SAP reforms when in fact he was instead busy looting Nigeria's oil money and blaming all the suffering that resulted on SAP and IMF. This present government is, however, busy looting Nigeria's resources— since they don loot the money finish— while it continues to lie to you that it is working on reforms on which it then has you blaming your sufferings on.

This is a perfect analysis that I have been doing my best to drum in the head of people I talk to.
The problem is not then reforms, it is the fact that the Govt of the day are using it as a smokescreen for looting the country's resources.
OBJ also carried out IMF aligned reforms and things didn't turn out half as bad as this

wunmi590:
My sincere apologies for calling you olodo also

@Trippledots and @wunmi590
Your maturity here warms my heart

dkidd:
U need to be specific na work U want give me to dey find Ur post this morning? Date time topic link etc

Thanks. You're a great man

dkidd:
Lol very funny but not funny. Truth is, It's not even enjoyable most times and they happen mostly with those girls with no strings who happen to be trying for themselves. Like when they know ur financially down they show up for u but it's never free. For example, I have had a girl who was just a fwb give me over 200k to add to my rent way back then when I first came to Lagos and things slow. She was also giving me some careless 20k, 15k, 10k or her ATM card to put for pocket whenever she observes I can't go out and chill I thought it was love at first but I paid dearly. Sex whenever she pleases, whether I'm in the mood or not and she loves getting head too and I can't even turn it down... My tongue suffered. Na then I discovered most of these girls wicked, they just have innocent, pretty face. And if she catches me with another girl na serious war. I done trade dick just to eat food for Abj back then when real mature sapa show for my dormot. All this one had to do was just cook and bring with sk smoke and Tm's that year with McDowell if the day good for her. Some times she comes to cook in my place and while she's in the kitchen she drops the drugs in the room for me to start.... different pills and shii...I knew I was being exploited but what can I do until small money touch my hand again I go free from her control. She almost got me fvcked up one time when she invited me over to her house. After everything, got high af and fvcked all night only for her Airforce sugar daddy to show up around 2:00 AM to take her out. she had to lock me in till she came back around 10 next morning. I have seen shege with these 304's too

This, gracias

dkidd:
This guy needs to visit hospital for series of checks. Those evil people have done things to him. He looks dead

Hey dkidd, I need you to do me a favor.
I made a post in the sexuality/romance section that I'll like to delete. However, you already quoted the post.
Can you help remove my quote from your post.
