Dem dey dey philosophical, the ones I've seen ooo and I don't mean the smelly Igbo smokingand opa eyin drinking ones

Wetin inn eye go see, inn mouth noor go fit talk am. Try am if e easy 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆. Nigeria go humble you. There is endemic corruption in the system so much that you can almost achieve nothing, bottlenecks all the way

Hemanwel:
The best news that has come out of Nigeria this year!

It's time for Michael Emenalo to take charge of the affairs at the Glass House

I wonder what folks like you fancy n from this tomfoolery

Onkoolos:
The samething happened to me last week when I landed in Nigeria from canada, I had to call my driver to bring my 100 million gle to come and pick me at the airport.. I have the money but I cant be wasting money on useless things..

Lailai, they can't even unlock with fingerprint, not to talk of face ID.
N.B: I mean those with retina scanners, not just facial outline

In the ideal world, all you have submitted is just as it should be. I don't like that you are sidestepping the Nigerian avarice that is the bane of rewards that such systems should have sustained.
That the NNPC was made to sell at a price probably below production cost wasn't the issue, the fact that they made sure to ingratiate themselves with such cupidity that they never cared if the system was going to crash. Just imagine that people got money to bring in fuel in the subsidy regime, then turn around to sell the same fuel on the international waters just off the Nigerian coast any they keep repeating the cycle.
Mind you, this was after they completely destroyed the refineries.
Can it ever get better in like the next 3 generations!

nairalanda1:
NNPC issues arose because they were not being run as a capitalist company.

They were forced to sell their products for decades at prices below the production costs

The same issues happened with many state run companies in the former Soviet bloc.

Like in Poland, food was sold below what it cost to produce it under communism . The result was repeated year in and out scarcity and sales of food at inflated prices on the black market.

When food sellers were allowed to set their prices on the market once communism fell, food prices rose very very high, but food got plentiful.

It's been over 36 years since Poland had food scarcity.

Capitalism's works because it allows people make money. Not just the rich , even the not rich.

Well, I don't have data to counter the facts you just posited at the moment. It might be true but don't trust these Nigerian capitalists, dem Sabi milk the system.
Just look at the shenanigans with NNPC since 19 gbogboro

nairalanda1:
Okay, the problem is that the losses made from undercharging from other bands is making power companies lose money that they cannot even meet their band A obligatons.

That's it in plain english.

Same issue in India.

Even inn church and mosque leaders dey gamble online. Noor mind am. What you can say to that is that they bet responsibly and strategically, noor be the every day user weyy go wan take 50k run 10odds or dey look for 20000 odds with 1k on auto repeat.
I jam one big man for one health facility last season, the money wey thatan press for 1.78 odds do me like movie

jmoore:
You spoke like a novice. Many that bet online are greater in number than those who enter betting shops.

Whey e dey call God name for gambling matter. This Gods dey gentlo oooo

writers100:
I find this very intriguing. Lol.

And how do you explain being charged for Band A Tariff while they are not supplying the power for which they are charging consumers. The money they have been making therein doesn't make it into data and statistical analysis.
Then what about being given power and they refuse to distribute so that they can always hold government to ransom for fake subsidy payments. That one is easier to collect in the long run that improving infrastructural capacities and expanding customer base
What ya say!

nairalanda1:
Right and here is something nigerians would miss, including the guy I quoted

1 🟠 Abuja — ₦51.79bn | ₦42.16bn
2 🟣 Ikeja — ₦51.50bn | ₦42.67bn
3 🟣 Eko — ₦44.69bn | ₦40.52bn
4 🟣 Ibadan — ₦39.11bn | ₦25.53bn
5 🟤 Benin — ₦27.39bn | ₦18.97bn
6 🟢 Enugu — ₦26.89bn | ₦19.70bn
7 🟤 Port Harcourt — ₦26.27bn | ₦21.06bn
8 🔴 Kano — ₦19.87bn | ₦15.77bn
9 🔴 Kaduna — ₦17.48bn | ₦10.25bn
10 🟠 Jos — ₦16.92bn | ₦11.70bn
11 ⚫️ Yola — ₦6.80bn | ₦4.50bn

National total: ₦328.95bn received | ₦252.87bn billed

The 252.87 bn naira is the total of the values collected as revenue, while the N328.95 bn is the value of the electricity sent to discos by gencos to distribute..

The above explains why Nigeria cannot pay for good electricity.

And here is the cold fact

1. Only 20% of Nigerian consumers pay a cost reflective tarrif. The rest do not
2. For the rest government is supposed to pay a subsidy that covers the losses coming from paying the subsidised prices.. Government is not paying the subsidy
3. The above, ie no 2 has been going on for years.
4. As a result, the electricity sector cannot pay for improved power supply because it is not making enough money
5. On the good news, metering now covers nearly 60% of consumers and only 20% of consumers do not pay for the electricity they consume (that includes your president in aso villa).

And as a result, there is a severe liquidity crisis in the power sector....which is why we do not have light.

And population estimates

BlackViper:
Look at Kano in 8th place out of 11.

Has anyone ever noticed that when it comes to raw data connected to large population statistics, Lagos State is always ahead of Kano State? Be it in number of school children, university graduates, number of homes using electric meters, number of registered phone line users etc, Lagos is pre-eminent over Kano.



But have you also noticed that the only areas where Kano has consistently recorded higher figures than Lagos is in the number of registered voters and number of people living in multi dimensional poverty?

If you don't mind, can you please tone down this your usual shalaye. Personally, I like your in-depth analysis and insight on matters, but many times , it seems more like spamming the page to me.
I mean no offence, just an advice

SixSeven:
This is why names have a purpose but today people are looking for Jaden, Jayden and nonsense names that don't have any root in our culture or people but for survival as slaves to the West. Who knows? If Chinese dominate the world tomorrow, are we all going to be giving children Zhang, Xu and Lee? 🤡

The Yoruba people hold a deep philosophical belief in the cyclical nature of life and ancestral reincarnation (Atunwa or Yipada). When a prominent male ancestor-most commonly a paternal grandfather, great-grandfather, or occasionally a father-passes away, the first male child born into the family shortly after is seen as the physical or spiritual return of that patriarch. The child is not viewed as a completely "fresh" beginning, but rather as a continuation of the family's existing lineage and ancestral spirit.

In Yoruba tradition, names are deeply tied to the context of a household at the time of delivery-captured in the famous maxim, "llé là ń wò kí á tó sọ omo l'órúko" ("We consider the state of the household before naming the child". Babatunde falls under the category of situational or historical names. It serves as a living archive, pinpointing exactly when the child was born relative to a major family transition (the loss of an elder).

Naming a child Babatunde is a high form of respect to the deceased elder. It ensures that the patriarch's name, impact, and presence are not forgotten by the household. It is believed that the child will grow up to inherit the wisdom, character, and responsibilities of the ancestor they embody.

What story does your name tell?

Kobicove:
Why do people like spreading false news.

By the way I hope this guy is not guilty of rape as is being alleged.

I remember the same thing happened to African China the first time he visited the UK over 15 years ago and was falsely accused of rape

Too many scammers and evil people on Nairaland. This one that was claiming Zambian girl don turn another thing.

Imalwayshorny:
As apc data boy on nairaland I earn 100k naira per month

God bless asiwaju

That woman has shot absolute love for that child but posting this without blurry her face was distasteful. She said so many things out of deep love and affection. I hope she never repeats this and the child doesn't make her feel so hurt like this again.
The root cause was the phone she seized from the daughter cuz she wanted to be on social media at 12

free2ryhme:
She didn't do it for view but at such age that child deserves privacy by law and right. What happens to blurring her face?. Internet never forgets

😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 @Ewa olomi

Been seeing since I was a little boy but I've never tasted it in more than 40 years of my life.

Way to go Bro. If professional masseuse handle a woman, her body go do Tinrinrin tanranran.
I remember one day wey I go massage parlour for Dubai, dem give me disposable pant and paper towel, I com dey wonder wetin be dis. When the Vietnamese girl hold me well, I begin dey reason the after wetin dem dey call am again

mightyhaze:
Na why i provide gym and massage room for my house

I recently bought a massage chair of 2.1m for my wife because I think she really needs massages but I can't really stand a masseur massaging my wife..

And this is really important esp for men..don't just bark orders on what u want and what u don't,do ur besr to provide reasonable alternatives.. u can as well do the training or massages urself if u can't get kits for it and don't want any mofo messing with ur treasure

Ransom is an understatement
I'm short of words

Gotocourt:
This polithiefcians have held us to ransom.

I can somewhat related but to say a cow killed everyday is an overkill,an unnecessary exaggeration.
I once worked with one billionaire in Lekki, he has a friend in Parkview estate in whose house I believe, more than 100 people eat daily. This is because as guests or staff/aides of guests, whenever your arrive , Na food and drinks within 20 15 minutes.
But a cow will typically serve over 400 people conveniently. There are even days that they won't be in the government house for 3 days in a week

SeeWahala:
There are at least over 50 people in a regular government house carrying out their various duties on a normal day so if they want to cook for themselves I believe a cow would suffice (with the kind of stomachs some of them have )

That's why Peter obi likes to reduce hosting guests so he won't add 100 years old whiskey bottles to the expenses

The house on the hill, overlooking Abdulsalam own; those guys are in a world of their own. The reverence Minna people show them when going for Jumaat pass Emir oooo. Then, I been dey wonder why the whole town go now down completely dey do ranka Dede for them in unison .
In Saraki's house then at Ilorin GRA, on a typical Friday, dem dey kill pass 10 cows .

Gotocourt:
The number of people eating in Government house ehhhhh.
During my stay in minna, if you see what a cook brings from IBB's house on a daily. Omorr, na choppings on a regular.

I dey cringe for her argument sef. You dey claim say you waste 7 whole years with the man. Shey the man stop am from working in.
Entitled selfish Mofo noor fit work. Soup don finish , she carry plate com

Sonnobax15:

Criminal of the highest order

Its very obvious she has been the obstacle that was fashioned against the innocent man all these while

So if they have kids now, how the level go be. Inside same house, dem go be aunts, step sisters, nieces, nephews, etc.
Wahala be like wetin again?

How can we be this myopic!. I found it do appalling that it is distressing. In Owode , Ogun State here, sometimes last year I went to Ado side to do market survey for December cow. I got to a cattle tester's place. This guy legit has about 32 children and the minimum number of cows each child has is 4 and more like 20 goats and rams each.
Here, one person was seen to be buying a phone that selling one large cow will offset and they are calling it Bandit money. It could be and anything is possible but forget, these guys are rich

SirCloudControl:
Down here in the south the public will accuse you of being a fraud boy if you can bring out that kind of money to buy a phone.
It probable lack of money is more pronounced here in the south but the media make us believe there are more poor folks in the north

Did you finish from IFE too? I know home well, he is a friend but we haven't been in touch for a long while. There is another of his classmates in Australia also, the son of a professor in same EDM

Boomyvig:
NDIS coordinator. Then I guess the complaint was the agency wasn’t paying him well. But for an individual running a business with several employees, what could have happened. Was the earning not enough to maintain his lifestyle or what ? He has Australian citizenship. So what’s his problem really ? And the dude finished from OAU a long time ago in Quantity Survey department.

This one couldn't have run away from Nigeria in that sense, he is NEPO baby of sorts. Just can't fathom why he got into this if true. He wasn't that sort of person

khalids:
Some Nigerians are very funny. You ran away from Nigeria because Nigeria is not okay; the leaders are wrecking the country.
You now get to your so-called greener pastures, and now you want to wreck the place.

If he had managed to reach Nigeria, he would have been peppering people, forming ndi investor, and making people believe they are not working hard enough; meanwhile, na fraud money

Can't believe this . This guy is a friend, although been a while we lost contact. Na Nepo baby oooo .
In this life, anyone fit do anything sha.
My guy Etisalat

sultanofpigs:
Nlfpmod , this is not a NIGERIAN, this is an Australian
