To be very honest. You both have very good points!
I hardly read any article on NL, but I read the two articles this evening and I'm glad I did.

The major reason why I read the first article was beacsue I saw an Innoson car yesterday for the first time in my life in Ilorin (mind you, I live in Lagos) and I was astonished as to how beautiful it is.
When I saw the front view of the beautiful SUV, I was so interested in knowing the brand, lo and behold, I saw IVM there and I was like what's IVM again? Not until I saw Innoson written at the back, I didn't know they are the one using IVM.

This is an interesting piece, but you can't rule out what the first writer said totally, especially when it's comes to marketing your products. Bro, Innoson no dey try at all...truth be told. Even if they are producing cars for Donald Trump, given that they are still young, they need the marketing.

There are so many ways to break into a market. Like you stated above, you are trying to say they want to Differentiate their product and not be a cost leader. Even if that's what they are doing, they still need to market their products to achieve that...As the first writer stated, even Mercedes Benz dey advertise. People need to know they are here to stay. There was a time I even thought the company has liquidated.

You both have great points...and as I can see, we all want the best for our indigenous companies. I hope they can learn a thing or two from the articles!

You all should stop this Power Struggle and Show Off here and let's enjoy this thread.

I was following this Germany thread sometimes ago. I got discouraged when I realized without enough money for the Blocked Account, the case is OYO.
I'm still not happy about it till now..

A guy told me about him on this same thread earlier today, but I haven't had the opportunity to look his work(s) up. But I'd be impressed if he could explain to me how Allah could've stoned demons with "stars".

Then, you know you need to try and do some research about him. He might have even answered questions like the one you asked. Salam!

bigtiny10:
Adepoju's arguments are based on the contents of the Bible and Quran. I'm waiting for a day he'd get challenged by someone neutral of both creeds. Someone to pitch scientific facts to him. Na that day him hand go fall.

Google Dr Zakir Naik and watch his YouTube videos. He is a renowned Islamic Scholar.
People that are more scientifically sound than you have asked him questions, and they keep getting defeated. Google and learn bro!

ednut1:
Lol, for every 15 there are 50000 doing d opposite

What a lie!!
If that's the case, how come Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world? Even in the Wesrern World!!
Don't argue, just google and research. Thank You!

The verbal test is 30 questions in 19 mins, with 4-5 questions per passage. always the true, false or cannot say. the key to passing this is to base your answer not on the assumptions you know about the topic in real life but on only and only the words that are stated in the passage, watch out small conflicting words like when the passage says "the doctors sometimes suffer stress" and the question asked "the doctors always suffer stress ", then in this case, the answer is false. if the question asks about an assertion like "the planets all revolve around the sun" but the passage says a lot of things about planets but doesn't explicitly say anything about revolving around the sun even though you know this is true in real life, the answer is that you cannot say based on the passage. anything true will be the very same reasoning as the passage. since you have 19 mins to answer 30 questions that gives u 1.5 mins to answer one question so you have to be fast. the key is to take up 2 mins to read the passage thoroughly the first time it pops up, understand it, then you can use less than 1 min to answer the subsequent questions related to the passage. always read the question first before reading the passage so you know exactly what you are looking for in the passage, and even when you find it finish the entire passage, so you don't spend any more time reading the same passage for the subsequent related questions.

For the numerical test, you have 18 questions in 25 mins, 1.3 mins per question, this gives you ample time cos no long passage to read. You have to read the question first and look for the important variables required to solve the question. Its all about ratios, addition, percentages, no word problems forget the shl direct test, its all about interpreting tables.... tables..... tables and graphs as well.
the key is to know your short cut arithmetic; like if the sales for country A (currently $20m) increases 20% each year from year 1 what is the projected sales for year 4; instead of multiplying 20% x 20m then adding back to 20m for each of the next 3 years, simply have 20mx1.2x1.2x1.2= Ans. again if you are told that sales of January ($4m) decreased by 2% from December last year, find sales for December or as a ratio to sales from another month; think about it- January sales $4m decreased by 2% from December. lets say in percentage December sales is 100% decreased by 2% = January sales of $4m (98%), rewriting it in algebra; 0.98 of x (x is DEC sales)= $4m, x =4/0.98 to get back the 100% (x which is December sales), So practice practice practice, know how to convert your exchanges, know when to divide to get dollar or multiply to get a larger currency.

Practice, practice, practice!!!!!, hope this epps.
P.s. Agroronnie is a female not a bro.

Thanks much! Success to us all!

Gnen:

Nigeria, one of the most sophisticated country on planet earth. A country so diverse that even within one community in a local government area, there are people and tribes who see themselves as majority and see others as minority. The diversity doesn’t stop there, in fact that is the least of it. Inarguably, the greatest weakness of the Nigerian people is diversity, videlicet religion, tribe, ethnic group and so on. More so, there are tribes that are perceived as being more prominent than the others. The list isn’t just going to end! The diversity leads to one struggle or the other, and how can a country grow amidst struggles?

However, the Nigerian populace have also successfully managed to make religion a weakness. There is always a struggle of superiority between the two most prominent religions (Islam and Christianity) in the country. The politicians always use this as a leverage. They capitalize on it at the slightest chance they get. Well, who would blame them? They know how gullible most of the populace are. And to catch a thief, you have to act like one. The moment the religion card has been played and the politicians have achieved their goals, they forget about the people that was played to get to wherever they are, and they start to think they are doing us a favour by being our leader.

In places where a particular religion is dominant, the other cry foul, telling the whole country they have been marginalized. The federal government observe the struggle as it enfolds every day, instead of them to take a neutral stand and remain unbiased, they can’t, because they know how they played their way to the top. Anyways, it’s a win-win situation for them. They know how to press repeat when it’s election’s time.

The on-going senseless and inhumane attacks in Southern Kaduna has already put the leaders of the two religions and the politicians alike at loggerhead, thus turning the ever sensitive country into a state of turmoil, and giving the opposition another thing to put on their to-do list for the campaign of the next general election. The controversy is the talk of the town: how the current government is trying to Islamize the country, how the Christians should fight back to avoid that from happening, how the governor of the state is funding the Fulani Herdsmen. With all the recent happenings in Southern Kaduna, can one really disagree with these allegations?

My plea is for us to be rational and logical as Nigerians, for how long are we going to allow these people to keep using the gullibility of the masses against us? How come we fail to see that the killings in Southern Kaduna is against humanity as a whole? Or are we going to say that 100% of the people living in Southern Kaduna are Christians? What about other people from other religions living there? Are we less bothered about them because it doesn’t suit our narratives? During the peak of Boko Haram menace, some people were crying foul, saying the Former President was trying to reduce the population of the North by being nonchalant to their attacks so that the Majority Christian South can take over the country. Now, we are treading that part again. Instead of calling the government of the day to order and making them responsible for the damages being done there, we have found a way to exonerate them and turn it to a power struggle by calling for violence against a group of people or another. Wars doesn’t determine who is right, it determines who is left. I’m sure we all don’t want wars, we are just electronic-warriors trying to be heard.

It’s high time our leaders realized they are there to govern and protect the people. It’s pathetic seeing the government of the day making the same mistake the past administration made. If we don’t stand up as one and speak up against their incompetency in protecting the good people of this country, it’s not going to stop. Who knows whose turn it is tomorrow? Let us unify and stop being hypocritical. Nigerians should understand that the nationality of this country is not built on a particular ethnic or religious group, therefore, learning to accommodate one another means we have to address all issues as one. However, the accusations and counter-accusations from these religious bodies should be put to rest because they are truly unhealthy to our cooperate existence. Nigeria belongs to neither the Christians alone nor to the Muslims alone. Let us learn to love, cherish and accommodate one another.

God bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Greed

You people should go on, and turn this to a religion war!
Una eyes go clear..

I have some questions to ask;
Are all Fulanis Muslim?
Because you people are making it seem as if its one religion against the other.
Is the population of Southern Kaduna 100% Christian?
Because SD is a predominant Christian area doesn't mean there are no Muslims and people from other religion being affected by this senseless attacks. Or do they ask them if they are Christian before attacking them?
No matter what, violence should be condemned!
I'm surprised people are trying to turn it to a Religion thingy!! War doesn't determine who is right, it determines who is left.
Religion leaders should know better!

But Buhari and El-Rufai no try at all. Their nonchalant attitude and in-sensitiveness to this matter is the reason why it's escalating like this. Haba! They really are disappointing people who believe in them!

Well, what do I know?

People noticed that Trump basically quoted Bane in his inauguration speech

A line from President Donald Trump's inauguration speech on Friday eerily echoed the Batman villain Bane.

After Trump's speech, people quickly noticed one line's similarity to a Bane quote from the Christopher Nolan-directed Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises," which came out in 2012.

"Today, we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another, or from one party to another - but we are transferring power from Washington, DC, and giving it back to you, the people," Trump said in his speech.

Not exactly the same, but it's close to what Bane, played by Tom Hardy, says of Gotham when he holds the city hostage and removes its police and powerful officials.

"We take Gotham from the corrupt! The rich! The oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity, and we give it back to you, the people," Bane said.

Certainly, Trump did not intend to quote Bane, but "give it back to you, the people" is a line that will have some staying power after Inauguration Day.

Make una please take am easy with the guy and hand him over to the Police. They are there for a reason!

He couldn't have been more right.
