And u think the lecturers in Ikere Ekiti who earn 200k have drivers they pay out of their 200k salary ?

I served in a Ubity school in the north and some level 16 officers who own cars no get driver . The only person that had driver was the principal who was a level 17 officer whose driver and domestic staff were being provided by the federal government .

In this present Naija , u can never pay a driver and maid out of 200k gross family income . Lai Lai !

Well said. 200k earner anywhere in Naija today is only struggling to exist and not living.

raumdeuter:


Those remote places have College of Education, Polytechnic etc some of the lecturers there earn that much in salary

There is a college of education in Ikere Ekiti, In Azare, how much do you think they earn as lecturers there. There are FG Unity schools in places like Ikirun, Ipetumodu, New Bussa, okigwe, all these places have banks too

As a matter of fact, I doubt if there's anyone earning 200k anywhere in Naija today that can actually afford to buy a decent car without any other additional income unless he is gifted.
Someone bought a pencil light Toyota for 700k in 2013 and sold it for 1.4M in 2024. That's the kind of car a 200k earner can afford to buy in Naija of today after months of savings and collecting loan from office. Pray tell, how would such person afford to hire a driver.
Like I said before bro, you are still viewing this country with the wa it was when you were here. Na we wey dey here fit tell the story.

raumdeuter:


What you spend on fuel depends on how much you use the car, the distance you drive to work in 1 day is what some people drive in 1 week and some in 2 weeks
Some towns the motorable roads in the entire town can be driven in less than 1 hr. So his fuel expense can't be as much as yours

The FAAN guy can make more than that because of opportunities but some people in similar jobs don't have such opportunities. Or won't take such opportunities maybe due to fear of prosecution or religious beliefs

Do you believe there are teachers in Lagos who earn 40K per month? Bachelors degree. and drivers who earn 30k a month? So what do you think these people will earn outside big cities

Underpayment for Labor is very common in Nigeria especially in the interior states. 200k in some places will make you a king. Nigeria is big and vast. Think of the village or town you did NYSC and how much they earn on average in those places. While some olosho dey collect 200k for overnight in Lagos, in some places na 2k for the same

This is a Lagos advert offering 30K for teachers. Do you think any opportunity for side income go dey for teachers?

Bros just drop this argument abeg!
The scenario you are painting is that of Nigeria of may be ten years ago. You can argue that someone earning 200k in some parts of the country can leave a decent life but not the kind of life that can have a driver and maid on his payroll.
It's obvious you don't know how bad situations have become in Nigeria. Where will a man working in those remotest places you are referencing get a job of 200k per month? From which company exactly?

raumdeuter:


Prosecutor - Mrs F was killed by Fulani Herdsmen
Judge: How did you know they are Fulani herdsmen

Prosecutor: See their pictures. Are these not Fulani herdsmen?
Judge: from pictures can you determine who are Fulani herdsman is? if I provide you 10 pictures of Nigerians, can you identify the ones who are Fulani herdsmen and those not.

Prosecutor: But their names are Mohammed, Usman, Lawal
Judge: Are these names peculiar to Fulani herdsmen alone? If I provide you with people not Fulani herdsmen with these names?

Prosecutor: The eye witness claimed they were Fulani herdsmen
Judge: And the eyewitness account of identity are dependable how? If I show you 4 people can you as an eyewitness tell their identity?

See how the arguments have been rubbished easily

The same way you can easily turn the amala the other way and argue in favour of the matter. I hail your energy ooo.

But on a serious note, it was obvious baba Tinubu no try for that matter all in a bid not to displease some certain forces then.
But now that baba is fulfilling his dream as the GCFR, much is expected from him. He is not doing well so far.

Sportsweb:
Judges will use him to shine because be always make ridiculous claim while trying to twist arguments with senseless logics

I am not sure of this ooo. That egbon and Nih.list can make argument for and against anything. I will just be reading at times and be shaking my head

raumdeuter:


Its simple logic. Do you have any part you have an issue with? I am sure if you think about them you can see the absurdity

e.g knowing peoples ethnic group and occupation by their looks, Names(religious names) and because they spoke a language thats spoken by half of Nigeria

No sir!
I am just always surprised at the way and skills by which you defend anything Tinubu.
Does it mean this man can never be wrong?

I am sure if Raumdeuter was a lawyer, our politicians wouldn't need the likes of Wole Olanipekun (SAN) to be defending them. Baba na real amala turner

This is me just thinking aloud!
Herbert Wigwe was never a politician and yet, his funeral witnessed so much dignitaries far and wide. Even Gov. Akeredolu who passed on as a sitting governor never had so much dignitaries attend his funeral.

The tributes of the driver and the PA were all I needed to conclude he lived a life of impact. Only if our politicians can think, retrace their steps and start living for humanity, then Nigeria would be a better place.

NwanyiOkpa:
Hello guys,

I currently live in NL and just completed my masters in Safety and risk Engineering from the Memorial university of Newfoundland. I hold a bachelor's in mechanical engineering from Nigeria

Is there anyone that can help with finding a job? I don't mind any province.

Thanks

Goodday bro. Pls, I sent you a mail as regards this program. I am about to put in for it and I need some informations. I would be glad to get a feedback from you please. Thank you

One funny area people are not paying attention to in this cashless policy issue is the excessive bank charges.
Imagine buying puff puff worth of 150 Naira, the buyer is charged heavily on the transfer of 150 while the seller is also charged 50Naira for receiving just 150Naira. How does the seller make gain after losing 50Naira on every transfer he receives?

Finally!!!
Football rewarded the GOAT.
Congratulations guys!

popizaino:



If they so which they can turn iniesta to a striker or supporting striker for i care but they should be ready to tell us why Debruyne/Fabregas isn't greater than modric/xavi using the same stats. Why Gerrard isnt better than Zidane using the same stats and also considering Gerrard played in a much deeper role.

It's all agenda from a very smart guy whose opinion is well respected here.

andrewbaba44:


That egbon is one of the biggest hypocrite here

But we ain’t ready for this conversation

This debate has been on for years. The egbon had to tell us his perception about Iniesta being the best player in the world changed over time due to age and many other factors.
Ibime is a smart and very knowledgeable guy who can go any length to drive his agenda.
It's all agenda, those that know know

How Iniesta was an AM in a 4-3-3 formation still baffles me honestly
Guys here should know that this same Iniesta was the best player in the world to Ibime until the UCL goal against Chelsea happened

If you want to doubt this, we might have to beg Raumdeuter to help us with those posts....

You can't have Lampard as your respected legend and be dissing Iniesta.
Ibime; you wan make we start all over again

jpmoriarti:
Argentina playing poorly so far. No cohesion. Laboured in possession.

Is this how they hope to win the world cup? They might not even qualify from this group if they continue playing in this awkward way.
They can hardly string two passes together.

jonsnow92:
Funny thing is I feel Pep got his subs right.
Mahrez scored.
Gucci had a goal cleared off the line and was unlucky with the second, Courtois saved it fortuitously.
Prior to those subs KDB was nonexistent in the game.
I understand that great players need just one moment of magic but then it was 50-50 and this time Pep was just unlucky.

I stopped defending Pep last season when he finally got to the UCL final and lost it to Chelsea with his over tinkering tactics. Imagine bottling a two goal lead in less than five minutes when he has another chance of reaching the final?. I don't see that as being unlucky anymore....

Give it to Carlo anytime any day.
Pep opens himself up for more dragging

jpmoriarti:
What a brave decision by Ancelotti to remove Kross, Modric and Casemiro.

Totally changed the game.

I have had enough of Dembele, he can pack his loads and leave. How could a left footed player be so bad at shooting? He has never impressed me for once.

What a match!
If Tores is not over hitting to balloon the ball into the sky, he will be under hitting just to pass to the keeper. His positional awareness is the only thing worthy of note. He needs to brace up.

Auba has no idea what el-classico hat trick means.....

So my guys here are still hoping Dembele returns......una dey try ooooo.

Krasid:
Yes, he will be rolling seeing Messi winning a magnificent 1 Copa America to add to Argentina's grand total of 15 Copa America and 2 World cups.

Krasid krasid....you still never change? Where is Cable? He's abandoned you to wail alone ehn?

Maradona will be sad in his grave seeing Messi finally wining a trophy for Argentina. It's safe to say Messi was jinxed by Maradona while be was on earth
Congrats Leo! Congrats Cules!!! Congrats lovers of good football!!!

it's nice to see many Chelsea fans now having divergent view with Ibime
gone were the days when he would hold a view and every other shekpite will be queuing behind him except a certain Nihilist. Nihilist remains the only soldier that was/is able to match Ibime with words, tactics, craze, amala turning and what have you. those days used to be bloody until they both reached a truce. Ibime has a smart and tactful way of laundering his agenda, only Nihilist has his passcode

Pep gambled in a UCL final. Tuchel already has his password after winning him three times. That's the master for me.

LAPORTA....#bringbackPEP

raumdeuter:


Terry they called world class
Rio world class
Cashley world class
Gerrard world class
Rooney world class
Beckham world class
Lampard world class

So 7 world class players out of 11 is not enough to make a semi final?

Yes sir, it is not enough.
you need tem world class players and a world class coach to compliment the efforts of a world class Lampard to make room for a good balance that could at least reach a semi final.

Ibime:


[/color]England did not have a top 9 (Crouch, Darren Bent, Defoe) and did not have wingers (Joe Cole, Kieron Dyer) and lacked a good DM apart from the tournament in 2006 when Hargreaves was fit.

All England had was good defence, good AMs and Wayne Rooney.

No team can be successful without good balance.

England had good defence, good AMs and Wayne Rooney and could not succeed while having the great Lampard because of no good balance. But Pep team succeeded because of Xavi and Messi. How could two players provide the needed good balance for Pep while many players together with the exceptional Lampard could not provide same for their country?

Ibime:



You switching the timing is deliberately to make him look like a hawk justifying the shooting of civilians.

What he said is not rocket science. It's the same we have been saying on this thread for the last few days before the shooting that force will be used before long

I believe the curfew was slated for 9pm, why was the board switched off before the curfew time which in turn coincided with the time of massacre? And when exactly was the board switched on, during daybreak or after the deal was done? these are not just adding up really?

[color=#550000]Should everyone earning 53k and below turn to crime? That will be around half of our population if not more. Let's know now because people don't need guns to turn criminals

If their justification for terrorizing citizens is the failure of the government, then there are millions others that are in this category and can turn to crime too. If they need us to protest on their behalf, they should ask.
There is absolutely no justification for what SARS have reduced themselves to. There is hardly any arm or sector in the civil service that is well paid or well taken care of.
should the Medical doctors be injecting their patients to death because they are not well taken care of(at least, they also have the tools they can use)? should the teacher be flogging their students with to death just because they are underpaid? Just as you have rightly pointed, the government has failed all Nigerians, should all then result to haunting down innocent citizens due to government failure? Those criminals must be eradicated first...............

I honestly wouldn't blame Messi for wanting to leave the club he has played out his heart for. The board has obviously been the worst I have ever seen in recent time. The useless board obviously wasted the genius prime years by their abysmal signings and lackadaisical attitude.

I personally wish and hope the President and his board vacates the seat of power while Messi stays to help groom the team while the club starts planning for a life after the football god as he is being gradually phased out. Messi and probably Pique (with limited role) are the only Players I would like to still have out of the group of the old guys around.

However, should he decide to leave which he is justifiably entitled to, I would love to see him reunite with Pep at City. the genius deserves to enjoy football again before he finally hangs his boot. But, the club will surely miss and suffer the loss for a while and the situation can only be salvaged with a good coach and the right board and not the shameless ones we have around.
