Why are you acting like you are a punishment to your parents? You always blame everybody around you, except yourself.

Says a kiddo aspiring to become like a nation! 🤣😂🤣😂

Tell AI to ELIM5 my comment for you. I understand the difficulty you face in using that thing in every human skull.

HacheNoire:
Oh!

Facts thrown at you and you now say it’s kiddish!

Do you aspiring to become great like the US is not a kid? 🤣😂🤣

Now you tell me how you reason like an adult.

No, I should aspire to become an akara or kulikuli seller like yourself, go play with the kids please.

HacheNoire:
For God to make you big like the US, you will need to do the following

Massacre and erase a whole tribe and tradition

Enslave people you refer to as subhumans. In an eventuality that your neighbors reject slavery, you will have to fight them and steal their land.

Steal other nations resources, and kill anyone who stand against you.

You also have to segregate your own race in the beginning of your course to become great like the US.

I believe same God can make your path to greatness SAME as the US

You act and think like a kid, how old are you?

Bro get a life, see you wasting all your time scraping the internet searching and filtering news about the almighty US. God, please make me big like the US, so that my enemies will waste their lives searching for negative news about me instead of working on their own lives, just like what @op is doing against the US, even though a mosquito's presence in Nigeria will be more felt in the US, compared to him.

Stomach infrastructure support, everybody wants to take their own bite of the national cake.

Before you renovated the property did you inform the sublessor or the landlord? If yes are there videos or audio proofs, most importantly before and after photos of the said property.

Although they are well withing their rights to notify of an eventual eviction from their property. But you surely deserve a compensation from them for your renovation cost. No need to feel depressed, you'll only do yourself more harm than good in such a state of mind.

Deceptive title, don't waste your time and data on the video, it is an old video which has nothing to do with Gbaja's current predicament.

Less than 200 million dollars for 200 million people
And Nigerians think they want 24/7 electricity?

What makes you think these 200 million people all have access to electricity?

50% of that money was stolen from customers. Distribution companies that can only distribute blackout.

Felt so emotional, don't be too hard on yourself, you tried your best. Alx do hard things software engineering programme was very fast paced, it was more about meeting deadlines than actually learning. It only made students good at copy pasting and searching for solution repos. Learn C, JavaScript, Python, Unix, and lots more all in a year.

As for your codes now looking like Chinese lol!! It happens to almost everybody, taking a glance at some code and logic I wrote early this year it was as if my eyes were dazzling me, comments and the English-like nature of Python saved me, i would have felt a serious headache if those codes were in C. I was adding, pulling, pushing, cloning, merging, and committing on Git and GitHub with Alx even used Git & Github early last year, but here I am googling git commands. Take it easy on yourself please.

Since you are already making 10k daily, why not increase it to 100k, then 1 million, then 100 million, and before you know it, you will surpass Elon Musk. You already have the strategy what is stopping you, and why struggle to get YouTube views that will earn you peanuts?

Do people still really fall for this cheap scams?

@nairaland1 you blocked me because you were scared of answering my question? Tells a lot about your personality and how corruption and double standards are inherent in people like you.
So not making profits from most of his customers gives a business the moral justification to steal and exploit those customers who are paying in full for their services. Nigeria is doomed with people like you, folks like you are enemies of progress to this country.

nairalanda1:
OK, in simpler language

You are losing money from 80% of your customers. That loss dwarfs your profits from 20% of your consumers, ain't no way you will meet the needs of all your consumers or give all your consumers full service.

Therein lies the problem

You did not answer my question. Does it mean the best way of solving your not making a profit issues is by exploiting those customers who pay for your services in full? Are you justifying the actions of an armed robber, who steals because he couldn't find a high-paying job, or the woman who steals fish from the market because she didn't have the money to buy fish?

nairalanda1:
Oh yes, and it happens because they form less than 20% of total consumers.

That means that the power sector is still not making enough money

Until everyone pays a cost reflective tarrif and there is no power theft by anyone, we will see improvement in a few years.

After all if you were selling bread and only 20% of your customers were paying you in full you won't make a profit

That's why the band and so forth thing made no sense.

So exploiting the 20% customers that are paying you in full, is a good business practice to you?

nairalanda1:
Effect of not paying a cost reflective tarrif.

All those power equipment cost money. When most of we Nigerians are not paying a cost reflective tarrif, it does not mean we won't pay for the equipment one way or the other...or putting it another way, pay the full cost of our electricity .

If everyone was paying N250 per kwh or more....by now we won't be doing the work discos are supposed to do...because they would be making a profit to fix everything. But because we refuse to do so, and the APC government also keeps prices too low for discos to make a profit, the above is the result.

Like when I was in primary school, my parents paid heavy duty fees to enable me attend a private prinary school...and the fees were really high. Yet in return the school was able to afford books, textbooks, pens, pencils, desk, chair, etc. The government primary school near where I lived, they were paying one fifth of what my parents paid for primary school...and they had to also buy books, buy textbooks, pens, pencils and so forth...even on occasion make desks.

You see, when you pay a cost reflective tarrif, the power company will be empowered by profits and investment to buy you transformer and wires. When you don't and underpay them (and many of the customers are even refusing to pay their bills, because free power)...they won';t make enough money, won't attract investment, and you would be buying them their wires and transformers.

It's that simple.

Y'all can abuse me now and call me tinubu suipporter for speaking the truth about how companies and capitalism works. Power has been privatised since 2013, government, including tinubu government is forcing them to charge cheap prices so that tinubu can get reelected, and you are getting the result.


Oh and you do not pay banks for damaged ATM OR BUILDING...because BANKS IN NIGERIA, even when they were run by government did not have the prices and costs of their services set for them by government. Government does not even tell them that they should give loans and allow the customers to not pay back for the next 20 years. The difference between banks and powers is that the government does not determine how much the banks services cost.

Are you aware that there are people who pay cost reflective tariffs, and still bear the cost of repairs of these transformers, and even pay for their acquisition?

Nigerians and nonsense things. Does this make sense to you?

I've been noticing the recurrent unwholesome practice of the Benin Electric Distribution Company (BEDC) in Delta State for some time now.

There is a feeder in Sapele Delta State, as such people expected a reliable power supply for band A users. But the electricity has suddenly become a luxury not because of its unit cost of #209.50, but because the distribution company has refused to perform its responsibility of electricity distribution.

To have access to the band A line, you need to buy your transformer, 11kVA lines, electric poles, meters, and pay the BEDC staffs that will install these things. In my area, a businessman did all these, and he is now charging each compound a minimum of #1M, or #350k per flat, in order to be connected to the power supply.

Even after payment you will still need to buy your wires, and electric meter, and you are not permitted to share it with your neighbours. I"m the only person using it in our compound, and I'm not allowed to share it with my neighbours.


Even with all these, we still pay light bills to BEDC without any form of compensation. Last week there was an explosion in the transformer and we were responsible for the repair and payments of the BEDC staffs that did the repairs. At the end of every month they come to our transformer take the current meter reading, and drop off the total bill there. If we don't pay our bills they go straight to the transformer and switch it off.


We are all using prepaid meters, so we go to each user's residence to take their meter's reading. And if anybody fails to pay his bill, we share that person's bill among ourselves and pay it to BEDC, then disconnect that person. When he/she is ready to pay his bill, he will bear the cost of disconnection and reconnection which is a fixed price of 20k.

We are now the ones doing BEDC's job, and still paying them. We pay for electricity distribution materials, pay for maintenance and workmen, perform their duties of revenue collection, disconnect and reconnect defaulters without any form of compensation. Why are things always different in Nigeria, why is this country so corrupt, is being a Nigerian living in Nigeria a curse?

BRATISLAVA:
How did you get to know such a wicked man? Do you have anything in common with him? You mean to say you never knew he was this foolish and narcissistic, and a potential murderer before?

You only know it now, he never showed you any signs at all?

We've been friends for a long time. He was even the engineer who handled my building project, back then. I wasn't always in town due to the nature of my job, and as such we were not that close physically. We both lost contact for almost a decade, but when we renewed our friendship people were always complaining to me that my G was too violent and aggressive. He wasn't like this when I knew him.

The lady called me today, thanking me for the kindness I showed towards the kids that day. She was pleading with me to forgive her heartless attitude. According to her, arrangements are being made by her family to conduct a DNA test for both kids. That my friend will pay half, her family will pay the other half, if the kids are his, he will refund the family's payment and if they are not his, the family will refund his half. But the beast doesn't, have a dime, and I told her boldly that I will no longer involve myself in their marital disputes. She said her family has tried to reach out to the beast of a friend but he is not picking up his calls, and he is nowhere to be found. He can go to hell for all I care, I'm cutting him off for good.

Wotowotoman:
Ogbeni, I don’t believe this Tales by Moonlight. I dare you to show a picture of you and the kids on that fateful day

And what do I stand to gain from such tales by moonlight? The way some of you think is baffling.

rooftops:
How unlucky can one be to be born to not just one but two insane individuals.

The worst part is that this same aggression will be passed on to at least one of the children.

OP, you did well. I think you should rethink your friendship with him. If he can do this to children, worst case his own blood, you should be able to guess what he can do to you if you have issues with him.

The aggression is visibly present in the son already, from my observation that very day, the son was trying to cover his mum's breast with her clothes so she wouldn't be able to breastfeed his baby sister the mum pushed him away, could you believe the 3 year old boy put his baby sister's hands in his mouth and bit her? At a slight provocation, he starts scattering and throwing things away.

Caaz:
I blamed the woman



She knew he was not only a violent person but also heartless all in the name to answer *MRS*she went ahead to marry him and produce babies.


I pity the kids sha.

The woman is violent and aggressive too, just that she listens to people when she is angry, unlike the man who easily transfers aggression to those trying to make peace. The man once slapped the woman in a public place the woman retaliated by slapping the man too, and even wanted to stab the man with a broken bottle. Same woman chased the man with a knife guy man run enter room lock door against body lol!!!

Bahamas95:
You did what anybody with conscience would do unlike the two beasts who made a mistake to get married.......What shocked me most was the wife abandoning her 3months old baby, even I as a man won't do that.


End that so-called friendship with that man, he's heartless.

It's like you read my mind. I'm cutting him off, he is too harsh and extremely violent, I've complained to him times without numbers. This is somebody his community and family members were making a jest of that he cannot marry, keep a relationship, or produce kids due to his violent nature. The day his first son was delivered he felt like going to NTA to make a public announcement that he finally has a child. But here you are saying you'll bury same kids
