lt is going down a second time!

Sighs...the money he was paid to divert the materials will now be spent on treating himself....yeye man!

Sweetguy25:
Have you been to Nigeria before?

Me, born and raised in Lagos

What! Who go gather mind follow chop that human head....shrine tinz!

esere826:
great
Some great and valid points you've made (especially with regard to alternative energy sources....ur strike me as a proper business minded person) but quite many which can push me off what I aim to pass across.
for example, I could ask who provides this central electric power in Kenya, how long it has been provided by the provider, and if there is any direct intervention by the government on cost of this power.

However, quick one.
what is the unemployment rate in Kenya? just curious

Unemployment is just like in Nigeria but with being a Nigerian l smell opportunities which locals ignore as there are a lot of things one can learn easily here at little cost and when he or she implements it in Nigeria it will be an ATM!

really I've been waiting for prophet ogbulafor's take on this election. Nostradamus couldn't have gotten it so wrong.

When some people are in power they become irrational!

l suggest you do video recordings of each step of the way from the virgin land, the clearing, the planting through to harvesting and the end you edit and compress to a 15mins video as you would should surely need for future presentation when dealing with investors/donors. l was at a presentation hosted by an European foundation and young farmers who were seeking funding presented their farm videos, l recall a lyoung ady who was given a standing ovation as her farm is 100% organic as she started her farm on an infertile land and did amend the soil with red worms as they used to aid the decomposition of organic waste matter into castings (worm poop), which is rich in supportive elements that make it an excellent soil amendment.

Record your activities.

Eyah... Where is Vincent Ogbulafor the former PDP chairman who boasted that PDP will rule Nigeria for the next 60years!....this is what happens to a man who feels because he is well fed, challenges his chi to a wrestling match Abeg Nwanyi Awka serve me a plate of bitterleaf soup and semolina, let those who are trying to recover, recover on their own, l follow dem chop the money?

kcjazz:
Are "flexible energy" sources healthier? Have you considered lost man power hours due to illness? Do you also know that respiratory illnesses are one of the highest in Nigeria? The costs cannot be justified in any way for generators. Alternative like PHCN are cheaper.

If the cost of doing business is high factories will close. At night I need security lights on, I only have a 15kva generator. I don't have the grid light. At low productivity, now I run my generator overnight to keep the fridge on and for security. It burns fuel irrespective of the capacity. Pollutes the environment as well.

Phcn and their likes all over the world are monopolies because of the infrastructure costs, prices come down based on scale. The only way generators can be cheaper is if they are all connected to the grid and excess capacities shared among consumers. That is not possible.

Companies should consider alternative sources like solar to cut costs

So right,

esere826:
I think you and I are chiming now

Environmental and noise pollution aside, you can see that electricity is electricity and the source has little or nothing to do with job creation.
One of the crucial factors is the cost of the source electricity relative to one's or a company's income/revenue.

In essence, job creation is a science on its own that needs the government to have a purposeful strategy
folks screaming to the govt: "give us electricity and don't worry about jobs" are being too simplistic on how things work

l live in Nairobi and have 24hrs access to electricity and my monthly electricity bill is not even up yo N1,000 but l know how high my productivity have been. My brother in Lagos is into production and his edge is that his machines do not requires electricity though manual even a 7 year old can operate it. For every of the machine he imports from the U.S for just N80,000 (which is the cost of some people's phone) he employs 2 Nigerians and his finished products he exports to Kenya at a shipping cost of N740 per kilo, l feel happy to see that what he produces in Lagos is highly regarded here in Kenya!

We also have to look into energy source, l have understudied many farms here in Kenya that generate some of the power they use in the farms from waste generated from the farms thus reducing cost of production.

Painful I hope our foreign ministry will not keep mum over it as the incident needs to be properly investigated.

esere826:
Push this further

So if the central electricity is supplied by Dangote et al and it costs almost as much as your generator, would you still use it to preserve your meat?

If you are in such business you must preserve it or it gets rotten. if the cost of electricity from the power company is same as running my generator l will still go for the power company as l do not have to deal with pollution and noise associated with generators. l do believe there are severally ways through which the cost of electricity supplied can be lowered.

esere826:
How?

Let us assume l open up a butchery which requires electricity to preserve the meat, l would certainly need workers.

The war end in 1970 and Ojukwu has passed on but this elderly man is comfortable opening old wounds, thought wisdom reside with the aged

obstead200:
long stories.
how much do u ever think we can make from tourism even if we have all the species in the world?
honestly speaking, extinction of some breed of animals is one of the smallest problems we in naija shud bother our brains with. As far as this issue is concerned, I am only concerned with rapid deforestation especially when it is carried out for estate development rather than for agricultural purposes.
keeping those animals alive can hardly put food on our table (cos we all know they can hardly survive if they are bred under captivity as farm animals) meanwhile, preserving our agricultural land and developing agricultural practices (both animal husbandry (for farmable animals) and crop husbandry) can certainly guarantee food.

l am so pro-conservation, we can't just be killing anything that crosses our sight. Just like you, am so concerned about de-forestation that is why l opened the thread on biogas where cooking gas is generated from our wastes bringing into people's consciousness that it is possible to cook with gas from waste even in the rural areas where our local folks are felling trees for firewood.

These Politricians! Their case is like husband and wife matter, don't get too involved in it before dem use you settle matter!

They want a share from the Governor's loot! Nothing justifies kidnapping a human being!

More SMEs will pop up thus jobs.

Fair weather politicians, men of no principle! Should KOWA become the ruling party tomorrow they would decamp again!

O.Y.O is his case!

Let the best minds be appointed, enough of ministers who have no idea of what their ministry entails.

Rest in peace, na turn by turn.

Nigerians and bushmeat! Conservation is not in our dictionary! l give it to Kenya as you dare not try this in that Country as such animals na government pikin. Even if you see them destroying your property you still have no right to touch them, all you have to do is inform the Kenyan Wildlife Service and they come assess the damages and pay you compensation.

lt is only the Kenyan Wildlife Service that that have the right to kill such animals subject to their discretion. Kenya annually makes billions of dollars from wildlife conservation as TV stations like Discovery Channel, National Geography pay millions of dollars to shoot their wildlife documentaries here not to talk of regular tourists who fly in for safaris. l know if the maasai mara was in Nigeria the hundreds of thousand of the wild animals there would have ended up in our pots as bushmeat! When they migrate it is a beauty to behold, people fly in from all over the world to view it .One really need to experience their migration to really appreciate wildlife

Kenyans are taught from their primary school level that the wildlife is their national heritage and foreign exchange earner.

This is the type of story that comes out from that court in Igando!

These politicians ain't loyal Even Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu's mother Elder (Mrs.) Eunice Uzor Kalu who l believe is now great grandmother is cross-carpeting at her age lt pains me many of our young ones were online forming e-warriors on behalf of these political prostitutes now the election has been lost those there were abusing others on their behalf have left them and decamp to APC!

That is good just hope it has not be allocated to those in the 'inner circle'.

lf the story is true, l wish her quick recovery so she will be fit enough to give Nigerians an account of her stewardship.

He should simply apologize no one is above making a mistake.

We do not want Lagos to fail because Lagos has been a home to us.

Let us move on from the Oba's speech. Lagos has been good to my family since 1959, the first member of my family arrived Lagos.
