PoliticsRe: President Tinubu Appoints Kemi Nana Nandap As Comptroller General Of Immigration by shortgun(m):
Obasanjo, Yaradua and Goodluck Jonathan all succeeded and brought progress to the country as presidents because they were all detribalized and made appointments based on merit and not based on political affiliations, religion or ethnicity.

Buhari and Tinubu failed and brought suffering and pains to Nigerians because as president they are more concerned about the religion, ethnicity and political affiliations of a person before they are given appointments, even in critical sectors of the economy.

Is Nigerian customs tired of setting seized goods ablaze?
since when did they realize that seized goods can be put to good use?
Whenever I see them burn goods worth billions of dollars I begin to wonder the rational behind such backward policy.
How does the burning of valuable seized goods contribute to the development of the country angry

I still don't know why the govt is hesitant and relunctant to open land borders, what is left to lose

Policies are meant to be Review, when our land borders were open, was the cost of living & naira value these bad and ever since we decided to ply on reinstating local production what have Nigerians gain .. its being one bad news to the others cos aside high cost of production Nigeria are generally selfish.
The so called "local rice farmers" are responsible for the high cost of rice in the country, we were buying a bag of rice for 8k until Government decided it want to support local rice farmers by closing the borders..now a bag of rice is 70k.
Same thing with poultry; we all remember how frozen chicken was affordable and all over the place until local farmers were introduced into the equation, now a sizable chicken goes for as much as 15k, a fully grown turkey is priced at 40k.
The policy clearly did not produce the results it intended, time to get rid of it and open up our borders

Cement, Rice, beans,poultry, fish.
All will be cheaper when imported even at the current exchange rate.
Some of these commodities are smuggled in from the neighbouring countries, labeled made in Nigeria and sold at exorbitant prices.
A smart Government will open up our borders

And please stop exaggerating! There aren't many calling towards violence. The few of them doing so are dunderheads acting in contrary to Islamic injuctions.

Watianoengineer:
This is one of the reasons I don't pity the south east when they shout marginalization. They are not patriotic at all. Every region in nigeria is protesting the unbearable cost of living but they will rather sit down and look. If the protests works and the prices of goods and services come down they will buy cheaper goods from the market and reap where they did not sow. Peter Obi that they see as a messiah is worse than failure. His record in Anambra speaks volume. We will keep teaching you people political lessons

This is not from Islam. Another plot to uglify Islam.

Please google Quran 6 vs 108 or Quran 60 vs 5

Allāh does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allāh loves those who act justly - Q60 vs 5.

Any sensible person knows
Why do we see many Islamic scholars in the North calling for violence against citizens of other religions all the time and without consequence.
I've equally noticed a harmful islamic imams also preach tolerance and peaceful coexisting but they are vilified by Muslims who want no part with people of other religions.
Remember when Atiku condenmed the murder of Deborah but later retracted it when alot of moslems became angry with him.
Are there different versions of the Koran you read from?

It is not mentioned in the QU'RAN. I still find it pathetic that guillible followers will believe him, people follow 'em blindly (religous leaders). Most people don't read the QU'RAN for themselves and understand what it really meant, that's why you see suicide bombers claiming their going to paradise, if only they know hell is their abode. You can see he did'nt quote what chapter and why GOD said so.
If this is the case then the job of the security agencies is simplified. They should arrest this imam for inciting moslems with false teaching.

If a pastor had said this, DSS would have picked him up the next day. There are countless inciteful videos like this circulating all over the North. It's sad our security agencies always turn a blind eye to these crimes up north but are always active with Southerners.

Excerpts:
Now, Tinubu's wife is an infidel, an unbeliever.
Not only is she an infidel but she's a leader amongst unbelivers, the word of God said she should be killed. The reason is because she's a leader of the unbelievers..she's is a pastor!, she is a pastor!!
This is the instruction from the Koran .
All leaders of unbelivers Allah said they should be killed.
When a person is called a pastor, what does it mean...a leader.
When a person is called liman, what does it mean... a leader.
Allah said you should kill the leaders of the infidels, she's not the kind of women that Allah said you can get married to not women like Tinubu's wife.
How can someone who's not able to convert his wife to a Muslim be said to be in Muslim Muslim ticket?

What did China innovate. It’s never better than the original.

You said Apple copied Microsoft. Did Apple run on a similar OS with Windows? Hello! They are world apart.

Apple got a good market share based on its innovation and it still stands till date. Being competitive is not by stealing, and that’s why they never better in anything.

Always lost, and why it’s always cheaper and substandard.
Don't say this out of ignorance. Innovation is not only focused on the product.
Improving a products distribution channel is innovation,
a better storage facility is innovation,
a cheaper version of the same product is innovation, a cost effective production is innovation, a new marketing strategy is innovation, increase in the volume of sales is innovation....the list is endless

There's a difference between invention and innovation

If someone asks who is Jesus?.... should I send him to read the entire Bible?... should I tell him the entire history of Jesus? I should be able to define him in just a few sentences. If someone is thirsty and needs water ... you need not empty the entire cabinet... bring out plate... dish... knife and fork .... just bring out a glass ... that will serve the purpose ... he doesn't have to know and can careless about what else is in the cabinet. Hope you get my drift.
Using your analogy;What happens when you tell the person who Jesus is and the persons disagrees with you and says you wrong.?
What will you do when he consistently and ignorantly disagrees with you over and over again?

I don't understand guys like you. This is a public forum ... open to discussion... if you disagree with someone's view ... you should say ... not send the person to do research.

@ topic ... I do agree with the point etrange made in that using a similar name can backfire on the company. I think exactly like that ...." the company is trying to deceive the public ... if they can do that with a name ... what else are they doing same to? I will not trust anything they sell as being what they say it is. Besides the naming part .... I believe they will soon carry the products Shop Rite sells but sell at a lower price to attract customers ... even if it means selling at or below cost. Over time they are likely to drive Shop Rite out of business. It is for the South Africans to be conscious that Shop Rite is theirs and supporting Shop Rite is supporting their own. I saw a video in this forum like two or three years ago where a Chinese man was saying Black people are stupid ... thatba Chinese man will set up Shop in the Black community and the Black residents will stop buying from the Black business and start buying from the Chinese ... driving their own out of business. I thought of it .... and thought there was a lot of truth in it... but shortly after.... I saw the exact thing happened around my way. Chinese opened a store right next door to the Black store .... sold at reduced price ... stocked everything the Black store had ... and the residents abandoned the long established family store driving it out of business. Now what? ... the competition has gone .... the Chinese have raised their prices above what the Black store previously sold at. Residents now have no choice but to pay.... no other such Black store anywhere nearby. I'm seeing the possibility of same happening with Sharp Rite and Shop Rite.
How do you explain how to fly an aircraft to a novice on a public forum?

I'm replying this cause this is the only part of your response that seems remotely relevant to our chat.

We both know we are talking about copying brand names and how it's a terrible or good strategy. But here you are telling me about the the products itself. So it's either you don't even understand the conversation or you're deliberately changing the goal post. I said you should give me a list of organizations that have succeeded by copying the brand names of existing big brands, and you're listing organizations with similar products. Ok, you said the purpose is to satisfy needs, does that mean copying the names of existing brands helps the organizations satisfy needs? How?

In my first response, I gave you a detailed breakdown of why I disagreed with you. I was hoping, you'd counter my points or at least tell me why you think it's a great strategy, but you did not. In my second response, I asked you to list organizations that have succeeded this way, you did not. You just want to say to it's a great strategy without backing it up with details and facts/figures. Is that how you present business strategies in your board meetings? Lol
I see where your confusion is stemming from. In a marketing organization, there's no difference between a brand name and a product. Every element, including the brand name, product,labeling and down to operational techniques are all crafted to fulfill consumer needs. It's impossible to disconnect one part from the others....
When you buy a Toyota car, you are buying the brand, the product, the logo, their business model and everything about Toyota.

Do you follow?

And our so called sound National Security Adviser was right there cheering him up. God! How did some of us end being Nigerians?
It's concerning to witness a senior government figure like the National Security Adviser present in an environment where inflammatory remarks are made against Nigerian citizens and his only response was laughter.
This is why some people are of the opinion that the NSA and other sensitive positions should be held by a retired security personnel who is free from ethnoreligious biases or involved in partisan politics.
It is sad that this is the kind of messages the NSA listens to every Friday.
