Oga, I am telling you something lacks biblical merit, you are asking me to verify in the spirit world. Does your "spirit world" supersede clear examples in the bible?

Hope all is well? Where did you go to verify in the spirit world?

Where did you learn this praying in tongues.

Even in the bible in Acts 2, speaking in tongues clearly referred to people speaking in a human dialet other than than the dailet they were expected to be fluent with.

Stop this stupidity and stop making Christianity a thing for comedians

Business / Re: Dangote Refinery Gets 5m Barrels Of Crude Oil From US by Resurgent2016: 3:02pm On Jul 12
IrepChrist:
The united states is not an oil rich country. Most of all thier reserves were purchased from oil producing nations. And your darling Nigeria use to be one of them. Today they have enough oil that could last them 200years. That is a country with vision. Whilst buying from us, we squandered the money. Now they have more than enough to sell back to us and make profits.

Where did you learn this?

The US has long being a major oil producer since the days or Rockefeller.

Difference is the US has very large economy that means it needs to import to supplement local producers.

They now producing more from shale oil previously deemed not price completetive

Dangote said mid July he will start selling pms to Nigerians cheaply and we are already in July. If tinubu can get this right things will start getting better that's of fuel can come down to 350 otherwise most transporters will not bring down price that much.

Also Nigeria need 5000 and 10,000 note as it's long overdue,. We should except the fact of inflation. Our highest 1000 note denomination is just below 1$ and such is unacceptable. The note is Costlier to print and yet with no value reason emielefe redisgn the note to two colour only to make it cheaper and today more Nigeria are now using bank compare to 2022.


You actually believe Dangote would sell at below international prices to Nigeria because he is father Christmas?

Until local fuel prices closely mirrors international prices, Dangote will keep exporting rather than sell locally.

The scarcity may be intentionally engineered to level local prices up to international prices so Dangote can start selling localy3

Lol, based on what? He allegedly pumped in over Ā£100k of his own money and just about squeaked through. He's been disliked by the public ever since he was health secretary with the way (or perceived way) he dealt with junior doctors

You've got to give him credit, as at yesterday evening, he had only a 19% chance of chancing retaining his seat. Polls gave it to lib dems.

As a resident in the area, I find him very engaging. He was very involved in many local issues and this is a key reason why he won.

On a national level, he was a quiet performance. He came in a cleaned the mess of Liz Truss without making much noise, while also managing to deliver 2 tax cuts and bring inflation back down to 2% in such a short time.

On the junior doctor thing, the raise requested was deemed too significant - they ask for 35% more on top of increases they got yearly for the last two years. He also mentioned the ripple effect it could have on other groups who agreed to far lower raises as they will also come back to ask for more. May not have been a popular decision but I think this is reasonable.

Sorry. You are being extremely hypocritical, and itā€™s not nice.

Just a few years ago, you saw a piece of land. In Nigeria . You wanted to buy for your mother. You had the money. The sellers wanted to sell. Your mother was happy to buy. You instructed your mother to hold fire and not buy. But wait for that same land to become a ā€˜distress saleā€™ so that the sellers will be forced to drop the price.

What does ā€˜distress saleā€™ mean?

You wanted the sellersā€™ children to be sent home from school for school fees, then the ā€˜distressedā€™ sellers will sell the land to you for peanuts.

You wanted the sellers to be in an accident, no money for hospital bills. Become distressed. Then sell the land to you for cheap, in their desperation.

That, my friend is not bang for buck. That, is Shylock and not nice, I dare say itā€™s wicked.


You even openly expressed happiness that NigƩria is in recession, because (by implication), desperate poor people will be forced to sell things on the cheap, so that you can lap it all up.


Yet, the same you will be pontificating and creating an image of uprightness.

Iā€™m sorry. Itā€™s not right. You canā€™t be a Shylock in Nigeria, and be a Lover of the poor in the UK. Can you?

Oga keep your self-righteousness to yourself

Would you buy an asset now rather than later, if you expect prices to drop?

Is your problem the excitment the buyer feels at potentially snapping it up at a discount?

She is not the cause of the recession, why should she weep or decline the opportunity to buy an asset undervalued or at a again.

Very misplaced criticism. Rather than blame the government who has engineered factors that have eroded people's wealth, you are blaming the person picking up assets as a discount. This is the kind of reasoning that has kept nigeria poor and the leaders unaccountable

I think junior doctor's starting salary is about Ā£33k in England (F1)
Even when it rises after about 3 years to about Ā£50K, that's not a commensurate salary for a job which often has them working up to 48 hours and beyond a week.

For the kind of socialised healthcare the UK is running, I doubt doctors can be very lucrative like in countries with privatised healthcare like the US. Within the UK, they earn much better than many other professions, have a generous pension system and almost guaranteed good career growth. While trying not to down play what they do, I personally dont feel they have that bad a deal by UK standard for a government funded job.

Healthcare alone already takes more than 10% of government budget. The remaining sectors, all of which are critical for the functioning of a proper society share less than 90% and with the way the political parties are making promises to the NHS, other sectors will likely suffer more under the next government.

These are massive and untrue generalisations. Or maybe it depends on where you live and work. It's similar to the generalisations Nigerians make when they attend certain universities and conclude that most Brits don't pursue further education - but if they visited the likes of Imperial, Kings and Warwick they would see a completely different picture.

In Financial Services for example, going through the city of London and canary wharf, most recruits are white Brits. Same applies in Law - ethnic minorities are still massively under represented, especially blacks, and especially in business facing functions versus technical roles, and I've noticed recently that the Chinese/HK are making up a higher proportion of immigrant intake.


Many companies, even the bigger ones, used the previous visa rules to drive wages down and pay less than would be expected for the role. Now that they are forced to pay a minimum Ā£38,700 to sponsor overseas workers, they have chosen to pull those offers and instead recruit from the domestic workforce, because it no longer benefits them financially.


It's not untrue generalisation. As you rightly mentioned, many of the client facing roles are brits dominated. They are typically less stressful than the backend roles, more flexible and there is a big advantage there being local

Backend roles requiring more grit, resilience and spine, the young brits are not much interested

An example - the average pay of train drivers in Ā£60k, some even earning over Ā£100k a year. Yet the train companies can't find enough young recruits to take up the role and the average age of train drivers is 50 years old.

Even if the train companies increase pay by 20%, I can bet you they will still struggle to find young brits willing to take the job.

You would hear them moan about the condition of the job as though those that did it years back had a better condition of service.

Even the junior doctors with average salary of 50K and two recent pay rise have stuck to a demand of 35% pay rise. Their more senior colleagues settled for what the government gave them and have moved on.

It's an inconvenient truth that the political parties would rather sweep under the carpet.

Salary is not the only the motivation to hire immigrants or people with immigrant background. Young brits are spoilt silly. and by immigrant, even people from other european countries tend to display more willingness to do the hard and dirty jobs than brits

Any business that has long and demanding role will go bust if they only can hire brits, I can bet that one grin

Hi guys,

Thank your for your support always. I am almost there but I have gotten level 2 survey report as recommended . Everything seems okay except this:
Extension Roofs
Both the side and rear roof elevations are traditionally pitched, and covered with concrete tiles,
thought to be Russell Grampian. There was a broken tile in the rear garden grounds which was
Russell Grampian. There was evidence of considerable replacement tiles on the roof elevations. My
own personal experience of Russell Grampian tiles is that they tend to crack on a regular basis,
which causes leakages. The replacement tiles would suggest that this property is suffering similar
problems. As such, it is quite likely that regular and on-going replacement of broken tiles will be
necessary, until such time as the roof is completely re-covered. Damp stains were present in the
side extension from previous leaks. The ridge tile of the rear extension would benefit from repointing.
The valley gutter at the bottom of the right section of the rear extension requires cleaning. It should
be ensured that valley gutter is kept in good condition at all times.
[b]Main Roof
The main roof is traditionally pitched, and covered with slates. Only a very shallow views were
possible of both front and rear elevations due to the limitations in garden grounds. However, where
seen, elevations appear generally straight and slates in satisfactory order. There is a dormer window
situated on the rear roof elevation.


I am due to exchange contract by friday and my solicitor has asked me if I am happy to request for fund from the lender. Please with this report what can you advice us to do.

Thank you

Notify the seller of the issue and ask for a reduction in selling price to allow you remediate it

Nobody is as dangerous as the man with nothing more to lose.

Nothing will ever be dangerous enough to deter an asylum seeker desperate enough to trek here from Afghanistan.
Put sharks in the channel? They will come. Razors in the channel, they ll come.

Its a losing battle. Just build processing centres in France like our very sensible neighbours have been offering for years and stop the risky crossings.


The people are not sailing from Afghanistan or syria to the UK neither do they just appear in the UK. The actually come from france. They have the option of staying in france or moving to other EU countries.

If they know there is a fair possibility they will be sent to Rwanda, they will rather stay in France or move to other EU countries. The risk of being deported to Rwanda if they see it as very probable will almost certainly change the calculus of their decisions.

That france will allow the UK manage an asylum centre on their soil is a fairly optimistic thought.

My dear brother,

The whole point is that the Rwanda deterrent is not working. The boats are still arriving, in increasing number.

Also have you looked at the details of the Rwanda plan? The elephant in the room is that even when fully operational , Rwanda can only accept a very limited number of migrants:

News reports have said that the numbers sent to Rwanda would initially be low, with Rwanda suggesting it will take 1,000 asylum seekers in the five-year trial period.

1000 in 5 years? So approx 200 a year

Meanwhile over 10,000 have arrived in the year to June so far. What do you propose happens to the remaining 19,800 that can't be sent to Rwanda? That is the ones they can actually find as many land and then abscond. It's not like they'll be sitting patiently in their rooms waiting to be one of the sample few that are put on the plane.

And this is assuming the planes actually take off as there will be a myriad of human rights challenges lodged in the courts against removal from the UK.

Why haven't any planes left yet? The only person they've sent over is the man they paid a few thousand bob to leave!

The scheme is as dead as a dodo, Tories are just trying to pull a fast one and wasting Ā£ hundreds of millions of our money in the process.

The deterrent effect will not work if people doubt you'll ever be able to use it.

If Rishi had done just one trip and showed the potential to do more, that number will definitely come down. Many in his own party strongly opposed it, opposition parties promised to scrap it. So no deterrence effect.

Even if Rwanda takes 1,000. When you realise you could be one of the 1,000, you have to rethink the equation.

It's like using having an expensive weapon that people doubt you'll ever be able to use. Will not keep you safe.

Not supporting or speaking against the Rwanda thing sha.

Britain grew wealthy and prosperous on the back of sailing to other people's shore illegally to claim the benefits of those countries .

They only receive a pinch of what they've done to others over the years and are already irked. grin

Oh dear... hopefully Labour would find the money to 'invest' (their new clichƩ) in the NHS.. Kudos on your campaign endeavours. I would make my mind up with time. Have other things to stress about now.

It's clear Labour would likely have the day. I'd be keen to see how they'd meet peoples expectations. I'd be particularly interested after the first two years as their initial get out of jail card (like PMB) would be '14 years of Tory failure'

The NHS will always be a bone in the throat of any government.

Currently, Ā£1 of every Ā£10 is spend on the nhs, far more than any sector.

The nhs probable worked well when the country had a young population and a fast growing economy. The population is aging, as a developed country it is unlikely to grow at a very fast pace, cost of medicare has gone up....something has to give.

Either make more services privatized or strip other sectors of funds to prop up the nhs
