Kelklein:
They are now using the name for personal hustle..

He gave himself that position and left on his own..

Obidient as a movement is not like some association where people gather to pay dues.. It simply comprises anyone wherever they may be located in the country or across the world who believe the person Person Obi can create the much needed change of narratives..

So when people apportion to themselves the 'leader' of such movement.. i just laugh.

Basic123:
I dont understand.

Should Tinubu also exclude himself as the chairman of his campaign council because he is the nation president?



Which is one is worse,NRS chairman appearing on the campaign council of his party or the president of the country appearing on similar council?


Walahi,the oppositions dont know the colour of the problem.

FILEBE:
Let's not belive everything we read and see online without making proper findings. We'll, views and likes are being monetized .

You didnt read or investigated the part where they said The road is under expansion and the construction companies are aware. ?

For us to make sense of thtt video, we need a location and date

We can't be speculating in unknowns

Fujiyama:
Some of us will keep saying it no matter what.

Strong institutions are the only reason that finance ministers in some countries wouldn't dare to say what minister oyedele just said.

But oyedele knows he can get away with it here in this country.

Why in God's name are people surprised when their material condition remains unchanged, year after year after year?

You have a federal minister telling Nigerians that the government he serves will not tell Nigerians how money borrowed (ostensibly on behalf of Nigerians) from a foreign entity will be spent.

Is it now clear to you why our budgets don't work?

Do you now understand why they constantly tell you to 'see' a reality very different from what your own eyes tell you about your material condition?

sultanofpigs:
Saraki hasn't spoken oooo!!
Rainbow coalition ba wooo!!

The same people that said OTOGE and disgraced Saraki are now begging for alliance.

The same people that jailed El Rufai

2027 go HOT

Women knows exactly this thing you just wrote. Because men are so desperate and eager to have it, women will rather trade it for money!

SixSeven:
Standards are high and it takes years of discipline to maintain the. Most boys just want to hit it and move on and we know this ever since girls entered puberty. Only parents and girls with brothers can relate to this. When you see the adults some people become, you will then understand what they mean by raising up a child to become a proper adult. I am talking about a good girl here. Good girls are not easy to raise and a lot of men are not serious with their lives. Ask men out there who have children and you'll understand what I mean. The way they raise their girl child, they are not raising her for one guy who is NFA to come and spoil her life.


The way people today treat sex, her standards cannot be much higher than before. Read the comments of the boys here on NL. After spoiling the life of another man's daughter, they still want a pure woman to marry. You even see them talking about single moms as used and condemn. They don't take them seriously. Why? Because another man has been there before. If a man gets an olosho pregnant, they insult him for wifing a community borehole wey other men de take enjoy themsleves. Can you see how they reason? I don't need to argue with them but read between the lines. Premarital sex is not good for you ladies. Life doesn't judge the man the way it judges women when it comes to sex. We are not equal. Do not be deceived. Your value is in your virginity. Check out the meaning of the word

noun. a person who has never had sexual intercourse. an unmarried girl or woman.

The only thing that is worth the effort for men is the unconqured woman and he has to pay the price for it. If he has you cheap without doing the rituals, you go ask what are we now tire. Una think say all those traditions are for fun shey? Check history and all societies, why did they preserve the women so much until marriage? It's not even about religion now. Women are the second creators of earth, if them mine that place anyhow, na disaster. Mine am well and all the gold and diamond go flow well.

Edit: even women who are secondary virgins, serious men are carefully listening to you on how you see sex. If they see you are easy to get into, you make them doubt whether they can have you at home without problems. Men know what they are doing, don't mind them. That your bottom is the goal and we know. Ignore our double standards.

If you want to stay small, then that's fine. Very few business entities have the resources for self finance.

Dangote took loans to build his refinery
Nigeria takes loans to build infrastructure
Banks give loans to construction companies, oil companies.

Nigerian banks literally offer loans to people based on their income. Gtb has studied my cash inflows and are offering me loans at 2.75% based on this.

It is for you to do your due diligence and manage your risk. Eg sell at a higher rate to a higher risk customer.

In 2003, Aliko Dangote started building a massive cement factory in Obajana, Nigeria. He wanted to grow fast, so his team skipped proper ground tests and used a fake report instead.

Once construction started, the ground began to fail. The soil was too weak to hold the heavy machinery. To fix the mistakes and buy new equipment, Dangote suddenly needed an extra $480 million.

At that time, local banks were too small to help. Each bank only had about $20 million in total capital. To get the money, Dangote had to combine a group of local banks and international lenders to borrow a massive $479 million.

Even after using that money to finish building, the factory could not make any cement for 18 months. This meant the company owed millions of dollars but made zero profit for almost two years. This mistake almost ruined his entire business.

Aliko Dangote borrowed money again, but he changed his plans completely to make sure he did not make the same mistakes. Building the new $20 billion refinery in Lagos was much bigger and more dangerous.

Dangote could not pay for the whole factory by himself, but he did not want to rely only on loans. He paid over $11 billion out of his own pocket using profits from his cement and sugar businesses. He then borrowed $5.5 billion from a mix of local and international banks. Because he wanted to avoid long-term risk, Dangote prioritized paying back billions of dollars of that loan very quickly.

Dangote did not rush the project. He took extra steps to make sure nothing went wrong with the construction or the land. The new land in Lagos was a swamp. Remembering his past failure, Dangote hired global experts to dump millions of tons of sand on the ground to make it solid before building. He also paid $100 million in cash directly to the government to buy the land cleanly so no one could sue him later.

To stop local contractors from cheating him or delaying the work, Dangote bought his own construction trucks and cranes, training his own workers to do everything. Finally, to avoid taking more loans as the project grew, Dangote sold shares of the refinery to big global investors for $2.5 billion. This means other companies are now sharing the financial risk with him

GloriousGbola:
All this don't sell on credit is just empty neophyte talk

As a business person you have to identify your different class of customers

Because sometimes your best customers will have liquidity issues and will ask for credit.

So you will now do hard face no credit today come tomorrow for a person who is guaranteed and regular business if he has sudden liquidity challenge but you are relatively sure he will come through?

SamuraiXXX:
Nigerians do not like to repay debts, this is one of the reasons why credit card system will never work in this country!

You mean the shameless turncoats who called your demigod all manners of despicable names?

Apc with lies and propanganda

A 9-year-old pupil of Greensprings School, Lekki campus, Nicole Benson stunned a political gathering in Lagos when she publicly donated her welfare money popularly called pocket money to the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari's campaign.

The little Benson who announced the donation of N5,785 from her welfare money during the Town Hall meeting with Nigerian women groups in Lagos recently, got the support of her mother, Mrs Enitan Benson. The donation was received by the director-general of the Buhari- Osinbajo Fund Raising Committee and Lagos State governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola, who lauded the child's benevolence and also had a handshake with her.

In the story of Uloko, a wealthy and ambitious man is obsessed with money, social status, and public recognition. His brother, Chigo, returns from Tanzania and becomes uncomfortable with the materialistic and corrupt society he finds around him.

Uloko spends beyond his means in order to impress people. He gives large donations mainly because he wants publicity and recognition, and he dreams of becoming a member of the Igwe's cabinet. His father, wife, and brother repeatedly warn him about his lifestyle and his growing debts, but he refuses to listen.

Uloko's desire for wealth eventually leads him into serious trouble. His debts increase, his relationships suffer, and he becomes involved in a dangerous attempt to make money through ritual means. He later becomes seriously ill and realizes that his friends and admirers have abandoned him. Before his death, he regrets refusing to listen to the people who genuinely cared about him.

His father's burial is also presented as an example of ostentation and hypocrisy, although Uloko had neglected his father while he was alive, he insists on an elaborate and expensive burial against his father's wish for a simple one.

Major Lessons

1. Materialism and Greed
Uloko believes that wealth and possessions are the keys to respect and success. His obsession ultimately destroys him.


2. Hypocrisy and Public Show
People often care more about how they appear to society than about doing what is genuinely right. Uloko's lavish donations and his father's expensive burial demonstrate this.


3. Corruption
The novel exposes corruption in business, government, and society and shows how the pursuit of wealth can lead people to compromise their principles.


4. Failure to Listen to Good Advice
Uloko repeatedly ignores advice from his father, wife, and brother. His actions symbolizes people who have ears but refuse to listen.


5. The Consequences of Greed
Uloko's excessive borrowing, desire for status, and dangerous pursuit of money eventually bring about his downfall.



What Can You Learn

1. Wealth should not become more important than human values.

2. We should listen to sincere advice before it is too late.

3. Do not live your life simply to impress other people.

4. Genuine kindness is more valuable than public displays of generosity.

5. We should respect and care for our parents while they are alive, rather than trying to impress people with an extravagant funeral after they die.

6. A good name and a morally upright life are worth more than wealth and social status.

Racoon:
Another one again. Even Tinubu office too is fake. A government of fraudulent people making fraudulent discoveries. Only the gullible will be deceived. Nah them them.

Greenback:
Yep and gullible Nigerians fell for it...
Sad thing was,they all called themselves progressives and took themselves to the streets and protested in their drives all for,guess who,nobody but BUHARI!!! The same BUHARI they all knew was a disaster and failure and a big tribal/religious bigot all his military and civilian days!

At times you just wonder if the universe isn't punishing this country cos I can't imagine how Nigerians threw away a God given Jonathan for a certified failure in the person of the late BUHARI and are now been crying to high heavens

chinchum:
Do you live in a cave? Iran-us war has impacted pump price virtually in all countries. Nigeria having 20 owned refineries will not fix this except it wants to sell below pump price, which now means subsidy of oil. In fact if Nigeria runs a refinery and not privately managed, it will become moribund in a short while and a conduit for average corrupt Nigerian managers and cost of production will be higher than comparative refineries.

Greenback:
That party has been all about evil and Draconian policies, absolutely nothing good. It's a gangster party of rogues feeding fat and living large of Nigerians.

UniQue84:
Funny enough she said the truth with respect to the true nature of a woman ...I have said several times the reason there so many divorces today is because women are the ones initiating it cos as soon the reason for entering that union which is money start dwindling she bounces cos she got no iota of love for him .


But Men will not hear they will carry women on their head all in the name of love .. just imagine how will someone woo a lady for 5years all in the name of love ..is she a degree at the University.

When the lady finally agrees cos she ran out of a better option you think you have won a trophy ..you are just being deluded.
