PBundles:






I wish we could stop using emotions and READ CAREFULLY what someone posts. When I read responses like this and I dont mean it rudely its either people are not educated and cant read or havent read it at all.

1 @ Titugirl, if you are born and rasied there and your parents own property, uhm doesnt that make the person a RESIDENT.
2 @ ewizard1 if you have a business there and pay taxes doesnt that make you a RESIDENT.

Though I wont claim to have read the entire proposal, I think what they are trying to curtail are those that shop for cheap schooling within state universities, which as I mentioned before are cheap for certain reasons. I personaly (Im not from Rivers) see nothing wrong with it if its specific to RESIDENTS

To make it ONLY for indigenes will be very hard since from a social legal standpoint how do you do that? What if my mom is from Rivers and my dad from Lagos. Also there are those that migrate to other states settle learn the language and even change their name, they may seem like it but are not indigenes. So you see the complexity.

I think they are referring to residents since you can set predeterminded guidelines to establish residency.

I acyually think its a great idea as you capture so many things by it.

If you dont pay taxes your kids cant study there for cheap
If you dont contriubute to the states economic well being ( in any form) why reap the benefits , if you want to, pay extra
It will make states that perform well to attract residents and as such business

In the larger scheme of it, if implemented well is a great idea actually

ewizard1:

And why did you lay emphasis that RESIDENTS pay taxes and that's why their children should pay lesser amount?

PBundles:
Those opposing this do realize that this is the case in some western countries? Ask anyone who has lived/schooled in the US. State schools are cheaper for state residents. The idea behind it is that residents pay taxes and will/ have assisted in the up keep and wil likely do so when they have graduated. Usually one can get residence after staying for sometime any paying taxes etc. If you dont agree go to a federal school.

Why do we like to protest and use terms like marginalization/tribalism as if its in vogue. Come on lets use the grey matter God gave us.

Titugirl:

so what about those of us that were born and raised here in Rivers state and whose parents own properties and businesses here?

ewizard1:

So you mean students who's parents are not indigenes but work, live and have business there don't pay tax?

Acidosis:


Oh No, that post has nothing to do with the fine. It's a response to a poster claiming and asking why MTN Sim cards were sold at N30,000 some years back.

I'm sure you'd agree to the fact that costing and pricing structure has to do with supplier capital, PEST, competition.

Acidosis:


This is WHY Business Education must be properly enforced on all Nigerian students.

There is something they call PESTEL, & 5 Porter's forces in Business/Marketing. There is something they call Relational Capital, Employee capital and supplier capital in entrepreneurship.

Do you know the cost of fibres, and other telecommunication materials when sim cards were sold for N30,000?

Do you know the weight of political forces and legal issues alongside the associated costs 10 years ago?

Why aren't you CASTIGATING NOKIA for selling you a PKALASA phone at N40,000 some 8years ago?

Why MTN?

When they tell people like you to attend business and entrepreneurship classes, you wouldn't go, but you'd sit back eyeing the CEO position in SHELL & AGIP. These are issues mere common sense should solve without quoting some complex business models and consumer theories.

rman:


Thank you. On this MTN issue, I noticed your posts and mine are always in agreement. Don't mind the ignorant folks with herd mentality...

So far everyone is hating, let me join too. No common sense to analyse issues. And they wonder why they are unemployed or not in leadership positions.

Just out of curiosity since I have traveled all over the globe..................WHO PUTS A HUBLOT WRISTWATCH IN CHECK IN LUGGAGE .

I think he forgot to mention his diamond encrusted Iphone 6 and watch, dont forget that

I dont doubt that his bag was broken into, but really a Hublot, never seen that before. I hope he realizes that the insurance per bag is limited to like a couple hundred dollars.

manny4life:


He got money for a Hublot watch and customized necklace but did not have money to upgrade and fly a decent airline? Someone please explain this to me. It's common sense not to put valuable personal items in checked in bags, I kinda feel sad for him and hope he finds his stuff.

PBundles:
Reading some of the responses shows why we have issues in that country EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT OP HAS SAID IS THE TRUTH!!! See Nigerians, God help us, we will see something bent and try to straighten it.

To be honest other countries do it also, especially South American and other African countries.Its virtually impossible in Europe though there have been incidental cases. But the OP was focusing on Nigeria.

Anyway why am I surprised, in a country where Rotimi Amaechi stood in front of a screening panel and said I NEVER STOLE ANY MONEY, its ok I hear una.

ddippset:
You're 100% sure that other countries cheat and that Rotimi amaechi has stolen money! Yet you're also 100 % sure the op is wrong in his assertion. It's either you're playing God, or you're God Himself. Nonsense!

Charly Boy also known as Area Fada is back with a long epistle on why the poor are making babies in poverty.

Read what he wrote below.

Go ye into the world be fruitful and multiply, oh! yes that’s what the good book says. However certain people take this literally. They see children as a blessing from God and they view it as their duty to fulfill this prophecy by promoting procreation, rejecting all forms of birth control, including natural family planning.

Children are viewed as a reward from God and the more children one has, the more one has been blessed by God but the big question is, does this put food on the table especially in this hard times?!!

I’m still trying to wrap my head around why the poor have more children when they can’t afford to raise them. And why the rich have fewer children when they can afford to have more. The population demography of any society is vital in Nation building and governments around the world have effected policies to control this growth.
A very good example will be China’s one child per family policy, which has now been upgraded to two. It will be commonsensical to say that people breed their kind this means a rich family is most likely to have rich children, and a poor family, poor children. In Nigeria we have a large majority of low income earners who are multiplying the number of children they have. Children they can not afford to take care of. So wouldn’t it make common sense to say that the less one earns, the less children you should have?

This is one of life’s ironies.

People who are rich and can afford to have more children will not yet those that can not afford it do. Low income spouses spend more leisure time together than families of high income earners. It will be typical in our society today, to see a high income family where both couples are gainfully employed, close work late and get home from a hectic day too tired and stressed to indulge in any intimate act but the lower income earner seem to have more leisure time and less distractions to focus on their love plays with their tomato selling wives. Why is this so?

Breeding children has become a recreational sport for the poor, I feel this is an issue that we all collectively as a society need to address. I use to think that it was mostly in the rural areas that this kind of demography is rampant but that’s not the case, the other day I was shocked to find out that a friend’s security guard who earns 30,000.00 naira monthly has two wives and ten children. Hummmmm, How on earth are they going to survive on that, what type of education, feeding, clothing can he provide for them in today’s Nigeria. Don’t they understand that intimacy between spouses is also an occasion to be savored and pleasurably enjoyed and not just for making babies?

We all need to wake up to the harsh effects that this is having. Government needs to have more enlightenment and sensitization programs that will address this issue. There is a need to inform the populace about the harmful effects of having children that one cannot afford to raise properly. The most obvious aftereffects are when you see children hawking in the street in order to fend for their families. This is not an issue for the government to tackle alone, the private sector also has to join in. The first solution will be circulating constant information about family planning: Due to a range of factors including education and location of living, poor women don’t have access to as many family control measures as richer women so richer women have substantially fewer “unintended” pregnancies than poorer women.
For all my brothers and sisters coping with survival I urge you all to think more about family planning, I know God blesses us with children but we must learn to plan our family according to our means. By the way, I have 9 children but thank God my school fees days are over or else e for hardooooo. So my simple summary today is, cultivate your sperm according to your pocket size. A word they say, is good for the wise.

I never asked u for a foreign president. Show me a nigeria president that didn't steal n also developed their country. The USA are over 200yrs old in democracy, and the others are older. At that age in the 19s, corruption was high as well as other vices. Accept he worked but ewas corrupt to a fault. Ask ur peeps, the only negetive thing people have against the general was that he stole. People refuse saying the good tins he did..

Harrisonwo:
Show me any of ur so called leader who hasn't enriched himself

PBundles:




My brother you see this is the exact disease that is plaguing Nigeria and the rest of Africa. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YES HE STOLE BUT..........
Are you serious? I have news for you, A leader is NOT supposed to steal. s/He is paid a salary and has benefits of being a leader and get this: If done well s/he will never have to steal anything because it will be provided for them based on their loyal service.

i will prove it to you:

PLEASE SHOW US A LINK ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET WHERE YOU WILL SEE IN A DEVELOPED COUNTRY A CITIZEN PRAISING A LEADER FOR STEALING BUT ALLOWING IT BECAUSE HE HAS DONE THINGS. NEWSFLASH HE IS SUPPOSED TO DO THESE THINGS. WE HAVE SO LONG TO GO, HENCE I CALL IT SLAVE MENATALITY..............THE SLAVE ALWAYS THINKS HIS MASTER CAN DO NO WRONG.

PBundles:
You are right, but this has NOTHING to do with an opinion. Let me help you, the definition of an opinion is:

a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty or a personal view, attitude, or appraisal. There is no such thing as an opinionated truth. In other words if its a fact, opinions have the same worth as Zimbabwean money, worthless/useless.

Was he a tyrant=fact,

was he a kleptomaniac in other words did he take what was not his (before you give your opinion, note that other countries US, UK and Switzerland actually returned some of the stolen money) = fact

Was he a narcissist = fact

Does the UN use him as benchmark for stealing = fact

So of course you can still see him as a folk hero, thats your right, but please lable him factually. Say I look up to a tyrannic, kleptomanic known for stealing. You will get no argument from me. Dont people look up to Idi Amin, Ghenghis Khan and Hitler today?

Harrisonwo:

They will always says things bout people who refuse to bend to their wills. Check stubborn countries lyk libya, iraq, syria who refuse to bend and they forcing them out. Till today, their story change for worst.
The General stole(YES) and we know all politicians steal but ask urself wat impact did they have on the life of the common man, Sani did tins that up till now are still remembered of him: refineries, roads, military strength, inflation rate fall, increase of foreign reserve frm $mil to $bil, and many tins. What has ur civil n good heads done if not destroy what was left behind. Nigeria deserve soft leaders but we aint ready for them now

PBundles:
PLEASE Stop trying to be philosophical. The man was a wicked tyrant and kleptomaniac with narcissistic tendencies who stole so much that the UN uses him as benchmark for stealing.

Harrisonwo:

Everybody got his own opinion, so u don't have to force ur observation or opinion on me neither do I.....QED

Harrisonwo:
Though am an Igbo, I strongly believe that the general was the best thing to happen to Nigeria. A man with an iron fist, had the interest of the nation at heart, and many things. Thou, he was corrupted to a fault by those who planned in their own benefit. It didn't change his stance on my country. Our military was the main thing and a super power in west africa unlike what we see now. A no nonsense kind of man which made people hate him because they couldn't have their way like they did with the previous administration. I still see him as the best military head of state of my country.
Next in line would have been yaradua(best civilian head of state) but he didn't live long thereby giving the title to Oga Jona. Jonathan is more like abacha but didn't have the heart of a lion. He knows what he wants for the country but he allowed lots of people to influence him unlike Abacha who didn't always bend to the will of every one..... I see him as a mentor

Women and their love for money, Eve was married in June 2014. I guess she found a larger sugar pot.

sukkot:

Baroba:
Is that Ruffryders Eve?

sukkot:
yup. the one and only

whirlwind7:
That's the same woman that her poverty stricken and shameless kinsmen came out to protest on behalf of.
Another thing is, you need to see the entire thing from their own point of view.

They are of the mindset that if people from other regions (esp the north) can feed fat on the resource extracted from their soil, then there should be nothing wrong with their own sons and daughters doing the same.

It is not right, but I understand them. It simply means that the sort of government we have here isn't working...and it can never work. A complete overhaul, or a switch back to the six geopolitical regions, prior to independence, is what could save us.
