Business / Re: Jack Dorsey Eats Once A Day, Fasts On Weekends, Walks To Work by samofson: 8:47pm On Apr 10, 2019
There is a guy called Akins who does this fasting with Akins thing here in Nigeria. (Fasting with Akins on instgram)

Many can attest to One Meal A Day (OMAD) and 72 hrs water fast.

If you want to clean your gut and live a healthy lifestyle give it a try.

I joined in January this year and I have lost 12kg since I started. It helps you understand that the body doesnt as much food as we think.

Business / Re: Foreign Loan: Why Can't CBN Print The $5.5bn Instead Of Borrowing? by samofson: 10:34am On Oct 11, 2017
It is possible to create more money without causing inflation . The US used quantitative easing in 2008 to help get them out of the recession. CBN would have to be very smart in doing so . The problem for me is I don't trust CBN has the intelligence to do this.

QE is when the central bank creates more money electronically and uses it to buy up financial assets like bond etc. This helps to stimulate the private sector and control inflation cause the money is not being flooded into the open market.

So in a way creating more money for a particular use can help but like I said I don't trust the CNN to do it properly . It may become another way to loot

IF you are coming to study Pharmacy and you intend to work as a pharmacist in Canada. I advise you to take the plunge.

you are young and have time on your side. there are a lot of openings for pharmacists in Canada . After graduation and training you can get a franchise deal with shoppers drug mart, IDA or any other franchise. After a few years you will be earning 4 times more that what you earn now and have a better quality of life.

Pharmacists make good money here especially those that run their own stores. no glock am ooo
Politics / Re: Reno Omokri Mocks Bashir Ahmad For Celebrating "Buharism" As A Political Term by samofson: 12:57am On Jul 08, 2017

It's a shame Bashir Ahmed does not have the intelligence to comprehend this.

Politics / Re: Why We Can’t Relocate From Lagos To Akwa Ibom – Exxonmobil by samofson: 3:06pm On Mar 12, 2017
PapaBrowne:
They don't have to move their headquarters if they don't want to.

The states in question should come up with a tax called Offshore Headquarters Tax.

So a simple law is enacted that says if you are an extractive company, you should have your headquarters located at least 200km from your highest concentration of extractive activity.

Now if you don't want to comply, it isn't a crime. You just have to pay the Offshore Headquarters Tax which should be minimum 20% of profits from extractive activity.

The best answer ever ...out of the box thinking !!!!!!!nice one brother !! How is wish I could give more than 1 like

Politics / Re: The Grass Cutting Contract That Landed SGF Babachir In Trouble (Photos) by samofson: 8:47pm On Jan 08, 2017
Enice:
have you read the terms of the contract? Do you know if it is for clearing and maintenance for a certain period of time?

Clearing and maintenance will also mean removal ...it's not a garden that u just trim...it's a water way to be used for irrigation.
Politics / Re: The Grass Cutting Contract That Landed SGF Babachir In Trouble (Photos) by samofson: 3:00pm On Jan 08, 2017
The question here is not whether he executed the contract but if he used his current position as SFG to influence the award of the contract to his company.

IG Wala only just exposed the companys lack of expertise in vegetation management by posting these pics.

The contract amongst other things included for the removal of obstructive vegetation .they are supposed to uproot from the roots not just cut at water level.


In a few months these weeds will grow back agaon and they will award another mutli million naira contract.

Na WA. ..no one was in the house at the time of the raid except private security. The poster says they came out with a brown envelope.

That's y no case against any corrupt official in Nigeria can be won be the prosecution, nothing stops the owner of the property saying that what ever was found on the premises was planted by the people who raided it.

Dummies!!! The lot of them.

Business / Re: Government Raises Import Duties On Consumable, Luxury Goods by samofson: 12:50pm On Dec 29, 2016
its a good idea but there is a reason why the previous government did not implement it. For you to raise taxes on essential commodities, you should have created an environment for local production to cover the shortfall. At the time the environment wasn't conducive for such.

it would have put untold hardship on the population. implementing this now without a proper policy on how to guarantee sustainable local production may cause increase in prices as people will still import foreign goods because the local ones cant meet the demand and the cost of these taxes would simply be passed on the populace.

On paper its a brilliant idea but benefits of implementing it now remains to be seen. The Government should be looking for ways to encourage local production by tax freezes or grants instead of making life more difficult for the common man.

Before you come for me, I am referring to essential commodities not luxury goods and items ...they can tax 100% self if dem want.

At my own sites supervisors and foremen wear black helmets, site workers and management wear white and visitors wear yellow. it all depends on the company.

Channel the excess water to deforested areas or create a seasonal dam that uses the heavy flow to generate electricity?

Very unprofessional and misleading. To pigeon hole the QS to just cost estimation and take offs shows your lack of understanding as to what a QS does.

Hopefully with experience you will understand tht the job of a QS transcends what you have just posted.

Those who require the services of a QS should not rely on the information posted by the OP. Please seek professional advice.

Politics / Re: PHOTOS:- More Flooding In Lekki And Ajah Metropolis by samofson: 2:19pm On Jun 18, 2016
So lekki now has a 7 Eleven with a motorway bridge in it ...hmmm I am getting u . Some of these pics are 3 to 4 years old .

The areas that never flood is the real lekki phase 1 sand filled during mike akhigbes tenure as lagos state govenor, the drain gradients were properly measured and adhered to . All other areas that were attached to it were not were not properly surveyed and not filled to the right level hence the constant water logging and flood.

The container area of lekki phase 1 has never flooded one day since 1999. Most of the area u see tht are flooded are Osapa london and argungi and the former lekki phase 2 tht people now call phase 1

MadamExcellency:
He listened to Obasanjo, Jonathan and others who visited in the past two weeks hence the illness is minor and couldn't have stopped him from official State duties and at same time giving him the luxury to perform routine daily office work at the villa.

This type of ear infection gets worse when in a pressurized area or altitude eg a plane or helicopter .

What ever illness he has I pray he gets well soon ....plenty work dey ground.
Politics / Re: Armsgate: Metuh Was Paid N400m – okupe by samofson: 3:21am On May 19, 2016
[quote author=Thatitan234 post=45752090]

Read up again. He was called as a DEFENCE COUNSEL. meaning Metuh used his statements, not EFCC.

This just means they are all hiding under Jonathan's cover, knowing fully well that it won't be easy to query/prosecute a former President.

Simple[/quote

People really need to read and comprehend .
Okupe was only corroborating Metuhs story that it was Jonathan who gave Metuh the money.

So if they really want to find the source of the funds they should ask Jonathan.

Okupe is not selling out, it's the defense game plan cause they know the court would not call Jonathan to testify.

We need to really start reading to understand not just reading for sensation .
