pickabeau1: I don't have any problem with the local content policy, it is a wise step especially because of the perception that "only foreigners can make it work". If we can use quota to fight this kind of perception why does someone have a problem with using it to fight the "woman can't work like man" perception? 1 Like |

Timbuktou: Your ability to obfuscate is nauseating. Is LCB not a quota system? Did you not explicitly say that quotas are bad? Now quotas are good. Hypocrite. 1 Like |

LordReed: I am confused as to what the issue is..except you are equating a country to a gender |

Let me help your comprehension LordReed: Merit System: Seun PLC wants to fill 10 positions in its company. There are 20 male and 15 female aspirants for these positions. The usual tests and interviews are conducted after which 10 of the initial 35 with the highest scores overall are offered employment. The ratio male to female is 8:2. The olodos go home and that's that. Quota System: In Seun PLC above, they have a quota system for women where 50% of women applicants are to be employed; this is in a bid to ensure "equal representation" in the workforce and also to eliminate "discrimination" against women. Therefore, in line with company policy, they decide to whittle off 3 of the 8 males who performed best and pick 3 females who performed poorly to make up for quota slots. LordReed, if after this simple illustration you do not see the disingenuity and the apparent double standards of female quotas where merit should be the requirement, I'm sorry for wasting your time. 2 Likes |

pickabeau1: I have stated that quotas are at best stop gap measures to combat certain ills. If this local content bill is a welcome development it goes to show that indeed quotas are beneficial and if properly managed can be made to deliver. Local content policy does not promote mediocrity as any company bidding for any contract must still demonstrate competence. Carry this over to any quota system to increase female participation, is that such a bad thing? There is no attempt to equate country to gender, I am simply pointing out parallels. |

LordReed: You bloody liar. Show a quote where I have said so in this thread, which by the way you have attempted to derail. If you have no contribution to make you are at liberty to tuck tail and flee. You're not the only invitee, some have declined commenting. Not you, you have chosen to comment rubbish. Again, show the quote in this thread where I have "explicitly said" quotas are bad. 1 Like |

Timbuktou: Let me help your comprehension: Local Content Policy says Company X is coming into Nigeria to do business and is required to have a minimum of 20%(assumed figure I don't have the exact minimum required) of it's workforce to be indigenous. Simple definition of quota. To increase female participation in STEM companies, employ at minimum 20% women. Simple definition of quota. But for you one is good but the other is bad. Double standard or what? 1 Like |

Timbuktou: I did not say it was on this thread you said it. Here is your response on the thread by 5minsmadness https://www.nairaland.com/2501341/why-women-weaker-sex-what/6#36635370 Timbuktou: Was this not you writing this or was it a doppelganger? EDIT: Yes I know I exposed your hypocrisy and you want me out of the thread but like your profile says the truth hurts, here take a band-aid. |

LordReed: That is not local content.. you did not understand... that's why uve been arguing since Local Content says a Nigerian organization is to give a contract It should be given to a Nigerian except it is shown Nigerians cannot do it I am sure you know you need work permit to work abroad if u are not a citizen IS that also a quota system..lol It is because of the laxness of the expatriate work quota system that we need regulation to ensure Nigerians are given jobs |
Re: Giving Women Quotas For "Representation" Is Discriminatory And Fraudulent by LordReed(m): 2:26pm On Aug 14, 2015 |
pickabeau1: I think you need to read the local content policy again. It clearly denotes that there must be minimum number of Nigerians in the employ of a company making a bid. |
Re: Giving Women Quotas For "Representation" Is Discriminatory And Fraudulent by LordReed(m): 2:28pm On Aug 14, 2015 |
pickabeau1: Yes it is considered a quota system also limiting the number of imports is a quota system. |
Re: Giving Women Quotas For "Representation" Is Discriminatory And Fraudulent by pickabeau1: 2:29pm On Aug 14, 2015 |
LordReed: Nope.. the intent of the local content policy is that you have Nigerians working..not a minimum number you have to show why that job cannot be done by a Nigerian and then prepare a Technology Transfer Plan to show how you intend to nigerianise the job Dude,... don't be arguing if u don't know ish 2 Likes |

pickabeau1: From the act. If this does not tell you there is a minimum number for employment then you need help.

LordReed: Oh, not on this thread? And you claim to not have comprehension problems? Mister, you're thick. I made a simple request, produce a quote to that effect from this thread, you've spun another series of webs to another thread. You have deliberately conflated unrelated elements and passed them off as one and you're wailing about someone else's "obfuscation". A clear case of the owner labeled a thief by the thief. You refuse to own up to your reasoning and comprehension deficiency yet your comments repeatedly affirm they're alive and well. I know you find it hard to leave without looking like a dolt but never mind you won't be judged, your abilities/lack of are apparent and we don't care. And in the spirit of my profile, here's your band aid. You need it more. 2 Likes |

LordReed: Tw@t, you don't have enough brain cells to reveal anything. How about I call your mama to come lick your own wounds? We know you're a pant-sniffer, so again call one of those whose pants you so giddily sniff to come help lift your imbecilic self. 2 Likes |
