Why are calls to other African countries more expensive than calls to Europe, Asia and the United States?

EngineerBode:
I will like to know the business rationale behind buying all these 3rd division clubs

The only prospect I see is to use the club to carry young footballers from Nigeria to europe. Apart from that, nothing oo

A third division club could perform well and become a premier league club after two seasons; by then the club would have much greater value.

TakeThem:
Magu should be made to carry that white board too.

Why do the suspects have to carry the white boards? Can't they refuse?

MimieJay:
It's NAIRALAND that actually modified the title.

Your Youtube video has the same title.

As rickyboss333 suggested, you should replace the word "Failed" with "Missed", at least in your Youtube video.

Why was she asked to eat the meat that she sells in the first place?

“Hong Kong will now be treated the same as mainland China,” (Trump) added.
...
“Hong Kong affairs are purely China’s internal affairs and no foreign country has the right to interfere,” (China’s foreign) ministry said.

If Hong Kong's affairs are purely China’s internal affairs, then China shouldn't complain if other countries treat Hong Kong the same way as mainland China.

China cannot eat its cake and have it.
China cannot remove Hong Kong's special status, say it's China's internal affair, then expect other countries to continue to relate with Hong Kong under that special status.

Where Nigeria universities dey sef..

Imagine all of them closed with corona.

The universities in Nigeria were closed by the federal government.

The lawyer has a point though.

There is no extradition treaty between the United Arab Emirates and the United States.

There was no extradition trial.

What the FBI did is an insult to Nigerians.

There is an Australian national who has been fighting extradition from the United Kingdom to the United States.
There is a Chinese national who has been fighting extradition from Canada to the United States.

However, in the case of Nigerians, the FBI just goes to the country where they reside and picks them up. This is illegal.

luscioustrish:
One of such was the chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Biodun Ogunyemi, who described the legislation as biased.
He said the bill will stigmatise lecturers in universities.



Really? How so sir?

The legislation is biased towards lecturers.
In fact, the legislation is discriminatory.

Why should non-lecturers and lecturers, who may both be accused of sexual harassment, be arrested and tried under different laws?

Sexual harassment laws should be inclusive of every workplace, not just tertiary institutions.

A sexual relationship between a lecturer and his/her student should be viewed as professional misconduct, and should be handled by the school authorities.

A fourteen-year jail term for sexual harassment is too harsh. Sexual harassment is not as severe as rape. A prison sentence of six months, with an option of fine, is appropriate.

What is the name and location (area within Lagos) of the Chinese restaurant that was shut down?

We should be cautious about receiving surgical masks from China.

Registration of births is not enforced in Nigeria.

Many parents do not bother to register the birth of their children until it is time for the child to go to secondary school or a tertiary institution, or to apply for a passport. This time lag gives room for all sorts of manipulation of dates and figures.

In several other countries, registration of birth must be done within 60 or 90 days after the child is born.

"Declaration of Age" is still accepted in Nigeria, regardless of when the person was born.

People mention whatever age or date of birth they are comfortable with, because the Nigerian system allows it.

Declaring a public holiday for democracy is not necessary.

At present, there are 13 national public holidays.

For the sake of the economy, the number of public holidays should be reduced. Some days may just be observed without being made public holidays.

[quote author= post=90296705]All rapists should be sentenced to DEATH....after adequate and thorough investigation. 
There should be no 2 ways about it.[/quote]Death sentence for rape is too harsh. A prison sentence of between five and fifteen years is appropriate.

A death sentence for rape gives no incentive for the rapist not to murder the victim as well.

The Nigeria Police should be adequately funded by the federal government.

Funding should not just be billions of naira allocated at the top. The funds should reach the police at the police stations.

Also, so you all Remember a WhatApp audio message in circulation exposing Buhari's and some African Leaders involvement in Corona Virus. In that Whatapp audio message, it was Revealed that Buhari as been paid by the Actual movers of COVID-19.

I didn't get the WhatsApp audio message. Is the message still available anywhere?

774,000 (workers) x 3 (months) x N20,000 = N46.44 billion

It was previously said that the initiative will be funded from the N60 billion COVID-19 Intervention Fund.

Sweeping of streets, markets and clearing of drainage is supposed to be a state or local government affair.

Why has the federal government planned the initiative for October to December 2020?
Is there something that the federal government is not telling us?

Why should it be added in the first place?

Arsenic may not have been "added". It is more likely to be present from contamination.

Arsenic occurs naturally in rocks, soil, ground water and well water.
Through ground water, arsenic may find its way into crops that are processed for food.

atomic number 33

Thank you for reminding some of us that arsenic is an element.

"Suspected cultists" is a vague term.
What exactly is their offence?

oshozondii:
At least 35 youths of Cross River State origin have been declared wanted by the State Government, over alleged involvement in cultism and cult-related activities in the state.

The report does not state what the "cult-related activities" are.

Simply mentioning "cultism and cult-related activities" is vague.

Which alternative route is he talking about?

Marine Beach route: Ijora 7up --> Apapa Wharf

Possible alternative route: Ijora 7up --> Orile --> Mile 2 --> Tin Can --> Apapa Wharf

MrMcJay:
Some of her bosses at the bank saw what she posted here and escalated it to management.

Okay.

MrMcJay:
I know someone who lost his plum job in a bank because of what he posted here on Nairaland.

How did the bank find out?

How come several of these trucks, transporting people from one state to another, do not have any plate number?

The police vehicle does not have a plate number.

The SMS "Dear Cardholder, your National eID Card expired on 31-12-2019. Kindly visit any of our offices for renewal. For further information, call 08068983386"

Why should the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) talk about renewal of an "expired" card that was never issued?

As several have mentioned on this thread, many of us are yet to get the identity card, so the issue of renewal does not yet arise.

GFELOG2018:
The COVID-19 Team Leader at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Dr. Yunusa Thairu, has given a rare insight into the treatment regimen for the COVID-19, explaining how a cocktail of an anti-retroviral drug, Aluvia, as well as Zinc and Vitamin C tablets are deployed.
...
According to him, the regimen was adopted at a meeting with the World Health Organisation, WHO, and the United Nations, UN, alongside with some other unnamed stakeholders.

Is it only when branded drugs are involved (in this case 'Aluvia') that WHO shows interest?

Racoon:
The source revealed that the gang was responsible for the kidnap of two expatriates, Zaid Alas from Jordan and Isah Jabour a Syrian, both working with Traicta Ltd, Shiroro, Niger State, in December 2019, and only released their captive after collected N120m ransom.
...
It was learnt the suspects were helping IRT operatives to track and arrest other gang members still at large, especially their leaders and armourer, one Aliyu Sokoto and Mus’ab, who sent threat email to Triacta Ltd, and negotiated with the company’s managing director, on how N50m will be paid to them yearly to stop kidnapping the company’s expatriates.

The suspects in the picture do not appear like people who have had a significant share from the N120m ransom, or N50m yearly for kidnap prevention.
