I'm saying generally.

A country that doesn't produce cannot be talking about wage increment.

Would the money fall from the sky?

Maybe start by slashing Legislative entitlements & packages as well as reducing recurrent expenditures.

hmmm

Audio Promise

Alexandre7:


I used my Airline Miles to book it.

It will probably cost between #50,000 - #70,000 per night.

I doubt.

Hotels rooms of this stature in Calabar go for N25,000 a night with double beds and central roof AC system. Hotel Metro..

Unless it's Lagos international status playing out.

Alexandre7:


I usually take Megabus,

I love their double decker Buses, it’s very comfortable.

Alternatively, I also take the New Jersey Transit Trains to New York Penn Station.

I took one of those from Boston the day I went to renew my Nigeria passport in New York. I deliberately fixed the date on a Monday so that I could return same day and go to work in the evening. About four hours from Boston, got to port authority station in NY by 6am. Embassy opened about 8am, went in for biometric and returned at 12noon for the passport.
Another 3hours back to Boston and went to work at about 5pm.

Alexandre7:

Are you aware recurrent expenditure often means salaries?

Who would slash legislative entitlements and why do we think that figure is what would be of any significance to ths populace?

Why don't Nigerians ever face the fact that we are unproductive?

The GDP per capita for Nigeria is 2 thousand dollars for the entire year.

That is the average contribution of a Nigerian to the nation.

Can you now see why people lament?

Nobody is saying government doesnt steal but the conclusion is that productivity is very low per individual.

You can’t compare Calabar with Lagos. I have stayed in metro, and the one at highway off NPA staff quarters then the highest was 20k.
But the last time I was in Nigeria, I could hardly find a decent hotel for less than 50k. The best I got was Pecotra in Ikeja for 65k

The next thing is owning a hotel in Lagos.

Oil well.

It includes way more than just salaries i.e. grants & subsidies.

No senator deserves to earn 14 million or so per month except you believe they should,

So what exactly are you suggesting should be done?

I’ve already said slash entitlements & packages, reduce recurrent expenditures & possibly do away with fuel subsidy eventually.

But the bottom line is Nigeria isn’t gonna transform overnight.

It took a while to get us to this sorry state.

It’ll also take a while to get us up & running again.

True,

You’re paying for location & security.

The cheapest room is #50,000/night like I told him.

Subsidies would be done away with in the not to distant future.

Yet again, it doesn't change the GDP per capita.

Good,

You can also try the Acela Express Trains from Boston to New York City.

Those are usually fast with few stops albeit expensive.

Ernesthugo:
you can get it in 4 days here for 80k

Yea but my passport is already expired.

So how exactly do you propose we change the GDP per capital?

Babyvet:


Lol, trust me I can read though BS very quickly .

Lol, trust me, I trust your ability to read through BS more than how you trust yourself, you always ask questions to trap someone in a corner... that’s why I put up that warning any insincere person should better stay far for their own good

Lol, don’t worry worry am I’m okay , I’m not looking to get married right now.

Ehen, oya begin expose the single well to do ladies let our guys try their own luck....life is fun....if all the single Naija ladies I see across come back and marry our single brothers here like our single brothers across do come down to marry our single sisters at home, believe me, poverty, unemployment and bad belly will reduce in Nigeria



Oya start mentioning them while the boiz jot down their handles, your time starts now

Bros make dem find for themselves ooo...Alexandre7 found pocohantas by himself ooo

Alexandre7:

As Americans do.

Getting off our ass and producing.

How can majority the clothes worn by 200 million people come from abroad?

How can we be importing rice?

Why should you study chemistry, biochemistry, and be complaining about job opportunities when you should be producing soaps and fragrances?

Same society you would find young people splurging on drinks and strippers every weekend.

New York does the same day passport ?

Did they change their name? It used to be Amtrak. Almost the same amount like flying.

Lol...

True,

But most still need government help.

Where would most unemployed graduates get startup capital without no job insight?

Then they’ll still have to deal with government bureaucracies when trying to register their businesses as well as obtain a Tax ID number.

The situation is complicated.

I don’t really know anymore.

pocohantas:


Ishi, my enemies have killed it!!!

LOL. On a lighter note eh, we've clearly seen photos of nairalanders who got married gracing the front page, so that's not impossible. Great friends come out of this platform despite the gender and tribal wars. What I don't understand is why you're being tackled for being friendly. If you aren't, nsogbu. If you are, you become a gold digger or a desperate being. You're really in soup

Babyvet:


New York does same day passport ?

This was 2017, but I met some people there that didn’t start the process online, so their was delayed till the next day. I had to fill the forms online and also make payment online. But getting there they still charge a fee which we had to get a money order for from the post office nearby.

Are the youth telling you start up capital is their problem?

Forget all that.

I'm not saying there is no hunger but I'm saying there is no creativity.

We love shortcuts that takes back to square one.

My dear, it is not you alone that will make that decision of when to marry oh, that's why we are elders, we must not stay at home and watch goat eat the yam in the barn, that will be a taboo....we must act as elders we are, so get ready in 7 market days

I’m going to use the DC one but I’m not sure if they do the same day one.
