MASTERCHIEF0847:

So cost of production has remained the same for cement manufacturers while everything else is on the increase?
Make una dey use una brain before making a comment abeg.
Cement production involves mining with heavy equipment that can only be imported as well as it's spare parts and paid for in dollars,those responsible for repairs are also expatriates who will not be paid in naira, add cost of diesel for running the factory at over 1000 naira per liter as well as importing gypsum and others then you will understand. Pay a visit to the quarry of any cement manufacturer then you will understand cement production is capital intensive.
This headless mob attacking me for saying cost of production...i asked one to give an alternative explanation to mine and the farm tool said the reason is Tinubu . Na so sentiments go make you fail exam.

Please educate them that diesel price is also on the increase

Fellow Nairalanders,

I hereby declare a total war against name checkers on Nairaland.

Anyone who draws attention to the tribe of a criminal on a thread about a crime will be banned. This applies regardless of whether they do it overtly or covertly. Every offender will collect a ban because this is regarded as a tribal insult.

The minimum ban period is 14 days. If you have offended multiple times, it's 30 days. If you keep offending, you may be permanently banned.

- Seun Osewa.

PS: I've just made a communication breakthrough with the moderators on this issue. I expect results.

Well done Ṣeun. This one na your new year resolution

I am a staunch Arsenal fan. I've been following Arsenal since the time of Dennis Bergkamp, Ray Parlor, Jeremie Aladiere, Julio Baptista, Antonio Reyes, Kanu Nwakwo and the likes and by now, I've gotten used to Arsenal's inconsistency. How old is he? He should get a hold of himself and get a life outside of football. There will be good days and awful days like last night. Why should he take out his frustration on you? As a man, he should have a grasp over his emotions and treat you right. You're not responsible for his woes. Sit him down and tell him all these, if he's unflinchingly adamant, dump him! He cannot head a home! He's a disaster waiting to erupt.

Na you gangan bẹ the real Arsenal fan.

I just remembered what a younger colleague of mine in the US told me.
When he was traveling to the US years back, he was delayed at the airport by US immigration.
They were interrogating him and some others.
For more than one hour he was delayed. The person waiting to pick him up was worried too as she waited.

He said, one of the interrogating officers asked for his phone and he instantly gave it to him.
He said the first place the guy went to was his browsing history.

"Why did you have to Google AK/47?" The guy asked.

He said when he heard the question he smiled and the guy was surprised.

"Can you answer the question please?" The guy said.

"Can I have my phone back so I can show you why sir?" My guy replied.

The officer handed the phone back to him and my guy went into his picture folder and showed him some photos of himself at work.
He is an artist and shortly before the time of traveling, he was handling a sculpture project of a Soldier. So, he needed the picture references of AK/47 to get a perfect job.

The officer looked at him and got convinced.

He said, some of the other guys were taken to the room for deportation. Some of them were Nigerians and they were already crying.
My guy was freed and he has since been living there.

Be careful of browsing history when traveling.
The devil can use anything to kill someone's joy.

I buy a new phone whenever I am going outside Nigeria. I don't want stress of this immigration people.

Seeking your thoughts, everyone!!!

I work as a salaried individual and earn around 400k monthly.

However, my girlfriend constantly asks for money. I give her almost 100k every month and she feels it's not enough for her. She's even voiced discontent, suggesting I only send her money when she explicitly requests it.

I'm beginning to suspect her motives, as she seems solely focused on my income.

She never suggests saving or helps in cutting costs; her primary interest lies in spending everything.
Despite my genuine love for her, I can't keep up with her demands. I had hopes for our future together, but it seems unlikely now.

I'm considering a breakup as a solution.

Has anyone navigated a similar situation?

Send her away. Stop taking responsibility that's not yours. She will leave you when you no longer have. Give that money to your parents or place your family members on salary each month and see the kind of miracle that will happen through their prayers. Leave this yansh alone and let her find another person to sink or bring down. You have no future with her.

Chesster:
I will be graduating in a couple of months..
I studied electrical engineering at a federal university.

While in school, I was fortunate to have saved up about 2.7 million naira having engaged in some online side hustle with a small skill I learnt..but I can't depend on this skill for survival as the incomes are not steady at all.

My mom is about to retire .my dad who lives separately is no longer interested in my care and doesn't want me around as soon as I am done studying.

This means I am literally on my own.
What advice can you give to a me in order to start life and sustain my self.

I once thought of buying a used corolla to begin Uber/bolt.. I also don't have any planned business in mind

Mods pls fp🙏

Build on that skills to be able to establish a better business that will bring you four to five times your capital.

There is a famous saying among other tribes in Nigeria, which describes certain people. Why is that when a Yoruba man wants to lie, he will turn the tip of his cap to one side of his head?

BeautifulMind2:
An Igbo linguist has begun translating a physics textbook into the Igbo language.

The man, Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro, stated on social media that the work would be completed in 2024.

He stated that once he finished translating physics into Igbo, he would start working on chemistry and biology.

He wrote:

“By 2024, I should be done translating Physics textbook into the Igbo Language. Once I am done with Physics, I will go over to Chemistry, Biology and other STEM subjects.”

In a separate post made in 2021, the scholar said he had done other major works in the Igbo language.

His words:

“Now I have over 25 published books in Igbo and total of 58 published and unpublished manuscripts in Igbo Language. Translated the BBC guidelines in Igbo before the launching of BBC Igbo Service; translated Igbo for the UNESCO.”

Source: Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro

The founding fathers of the current 6-3-3-4 education system, Alhaji Babatunde "Babs" Aliyu Fafunwa once proposed that all subjects should be taught in our indigenous language. His first adversaries were his colleagues in Academia who were against the idea. He quickly reminded them that most of them were educated in the indigenous languages of other non English speaking countries. It took IBB to stop that conflagration.

Putin doesn't want expansion of NATO but yet you threaten your neighbours.
What other choice do you have other than to join an alliance that will protect you.
Does Putin have any intentions to normalise talks with Ukraine or return Crimea if Ukraine withdraw it's bid to join NATO?
You'd be surprised he has an ulterior motive to seize the whole of Ukraine because he knows he can easily bully them.
This has been Ukraine's fear all along.

No superpower in the world will watch or tolerate any kind of threat anywhere especially in it's neighborhood. US did the same in 1962 and it ended with the infamous Bay of Pigs invasion. NATO expansions to the East was discussed and the Russians were given Assurances on three occasions that there will be no Expansion eastwards of NATO. The whole story about NATO is to see the downfall of Russia in order for them to lay their hands on its natural resources. It's not about keeping peace. We saw that in Libya and we know how it ended.

When you relegate Russia to only Putin, you may not see the real picture. The real picture is Russia will be encircled and it's economy stiffled to capitulation because some very greedy countries wants it's resources for free.

The other picture is forty percent of Ukrainians especially to the East of Russia, Donbass and Other surrounding countries are Russian by heritage and are bound by the language. The Ukrainians don't want trouble with Russia until that comedian became president and this is the result. Trouble dey sleep, yanga go wake am.

11doubledee:

It was actually the annexation of CRIMEA ( over a quarter of the entire Ukraine)in 2014 that prompted Ukraine's move to join NATO.
But anti western propagandists (mostly Islamic terrorist or sympathisers) always like to twist the story.

Remember the NATO promised Putin that there will be no expansion then? Putin is only holding them to their word. Not Islamic terrorist.

gigabyte13:
Putin werey be like
A ma ni problem.......
Dem dey drag this man small small
E go soon mad totally scatter everywhere
Can't he learn from China on Taiwan issue
The USA is fading as a super power but want to go down with probable super powers.
China don Dodge the US trap
Na Putin the trap go catch last last
First major super power casualty loading

Putin will never be the casualty. He is 100 steps ahead of these NATO bullies.

Dpharisee:
He who brings home ants infected firewood should not complain when lizards come visiting, Finland cannot invite America to station weapons on Russias border without repercussions.
The reality is if Russia decided to attack Finland NATO will not step in or they will get incinerated with nuclear weapons, Russia is not Libya or Iraq

This is Russia's endgame. Eventually, this will start World War III.

I still vividly REMEMBER D BALA MIKKER SHOW IN D 80's .. could t really fanthom much into its benefits but I know my dad's love fkr entertainment influenced me big time. 80's was a BOOM TIME WORLD WIDE.No Nudity then, but true BEAUTY RULED D SYSTEM ! Innocence was still at its peak unlike no wey Negative exposure is d order of the season.

Bala Miller was a father figure to all Kaduna youths during his lifetime. So was Patrick Ityohegh and his league of "gentlemen" , Col. Tunde Sawyer (Alhaji Baba) And Claude Eke( same as Zebrudayas Jegede) on the unforgettable show Sunny Side of life. These television sitcoms United all Nigerians of all ages and tribes in that era. This touch is still missing in our everyday life.

When is then? And what modalities was used to ascertain that he is the richest man in Africa?

Before Ojukwu father, we have Darocha a Yoruba man who was also said to be the richest in Africa in the 1920s.

Also some people claimed it is Dantata that was the richest in his era.

People just come out with stuffs, unless there is a standardized body Like Forbes that label them that, everyone will just continue to lie that they are the richest

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candido_Da_Rocha

Candido Da Rocha supplied the entire Lagos with water. He is credited to be the founding fathers of the Lagos State Water corporation.

yoruboid:
We’ve heard a lot of stories about how Emeka Ojukwu’s father gave his Rolls Royce to Queen Elizabeth to ride while she was in Nigeria

No one has bothered to verify the lies which have been peddled for decades

Indeed the car belonged to the Emir of Kano and the pictures below prove that

The Queen also requested her visit be rerouted to include Ijebu-Ode to enable her to visit Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola, the Ogbeni Oja, her father’s friend who usually wined and dined with the royals at Buckingham Palace.

She passed a night at Ijebu-Ode and what a privileged visit indeed. Behold the Adeola Odutola Lodge, Ijebu-Ode (built, 1939).

The car never belonged to Emir Muhammadu Sanusi I in the first place. It was a gift from the Queen to the Emir. The Rolls Royce Wraith was one in a collection of an Armenian engineer businessman and close associate of the Queen, Nubar Gulbenkian. He had twenty two of these Rolls Royces,each of which he personally designed and supervised their production at the Rolls-Royce plant.. The rest of that collection is in a British Museum.

You can find more about it here


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nubar_Gulbenkian

You will find out in this newspaper that he lent the Queen the Rolls Royce that she rode in that picture.

Bad is relative here in my opinion...


All you listed are valid points.


Performance is another... In terms of drive performance and "individual" quality you can't compare a Lamborghini to an audi for instance.

Or a Benz to say a Volkswagen in performance and drive. Even though both are good brands!

Registered Benz holders will always tell you there are two cars in the world: Mercedes Benz and others.

My major annoyance here is Islam's ways of handling matters...

And my major problem with Africans is their inability to separate emotions from reason. The Israelis are and identify as Europeans. Their football clubs don't play in the Asian Confederation but UEFA.
