If uve got microwave and reasonably constant power then I'll advice you boil the rice you'll require for a week same as the stew. No buy these small plastic packs dish the food as if you serve in d container, cover it up and put is in d freezer. Hubby comes home from work, walks to the fridge freezer, picks up d pack, microwaves it & viola dinner served.

Sagamite:


It is like getting myself a nice red Ferrari and spinning my wheels everyday, struggling for road with danfo drivers everday, driving it in pot-holes everyday. Do you know how it would look in 5 years? Do you know how much it will take to restore it?

If I use her like that, do you know how much it will cost me for [i]b[/i]oob job, face injections for wrinkles, tummy tuck etc?

No, thank you. I will pay the N200 a day and keep my valued possession protected.

My guy you need to come back to Africa and learn. If you require your Ferarri to be all fine and remain new requires maintenance. How do you maintain you ask? By lubrication at night and enough rest.

Alright, I didn't want to reply but then again I'll like a bit of controversy here. If you like yourself madam u better work on yourself and leave your husband out of it. The best you can tell your husband is to help you get a washing machine, vacuum cleaner and anything that will make the job easier as well as reduce the domestic work period.
If my wife tells me to do any domestic chores then she's hit Olumo rock. I wonder why men are becoming puccis nowadays that they can't put their foot down. Being a man I can cook 5 different kinds of soups and stew that will last for a week to two in 3hrs, that's with a gas stove. Why would you spend a whole day cooking? Didn't you practice cooking before getting married abi Mr Biggs and Sweet sensation was the order of the day?  How sluggish can you get? I wouldn't be surprised if ure having problems at work for being slow. These days the dicing of leaves as well as grinding of ingredients for food can be done in the market. Yeah I'm a man and when I get home I expect my food. One good thing about me is I can warm things on my own when I get back but don't expect to be domestic woman. U wan start 3rd world war abi? I'm not so picky but if I feel the cooking isn't good enough I just enter the kitchen and prepare something and with that make an effective statement.
Must d house be swept everyday? Put some policies in place and u wouldn't need to repeatedly do stuff. For instance if you have a policy that the bathtub and toilet seat should look the way they were when you entered then you shouldn't have any problems.

A lot of posts here are just plain and simple dumb. Some people didn't even read through the article instead chose to vommit their ignorance for all to read. Thank God for Nairaland.

Point #1

Did any of you notice the autonomy granted to schools to fend for themselves? This same autonomy makes schools in the US amongst the best in the world today.

Point #2

What is the best investment there is & the best way to invest in the future? For some myopic people here the answer is education. If GEJ was doing what Rochas is doing in Imo then the Boko Haram problem would have been 40% solved by now because it's been 4yrs since the first mention of Boko Haram.

Point #3

All of those monies comes back to the state indirectly because industry will flourish in that state. Mark my words Imo is going to have the highest literacy rate of any state in Nigeria in a few years.

First rule of economic growth is this, invest in people and you'll reap enormous benefits. This is what the Chinese have done.

Rochas Well done.

This is absolutely criminal. A gross misuse of the powers of his office. He should be sacked immediately. He has absolutely no right to do that. COURT CASE COMING!

Nigerians have a very poor maintenance culture. To everyone who reads this, drives a car, owns a car or intends owning one this is for you. Nigerians have this notion that some cars are problematic, this is not true. All cars usually have problems either with the engine, gear box, axle, cooling system, electrical system etc. It is essential to read the car's manual when u purchase it and it's also important you get the service manual too. For most common cars the service manual hard copy can be purchased online. U can also get the soft copy too. You can download free copies of your car's service manual at this website http://www.onlinefreeebooks.net/
For most cars that are made with a brain box that is cars created from 1998 till date then you require a computer, interface and interface software to diagnose any fault that might arise with your car. If you can't do this yourself then hire a diagnostic mechanic to get this done instead of guess work usually employed my most technicians. The more the guess work the more complex your vehicles problem gets in future.
Secondly, As soon as u start hearing noises while driving then u should be able to tell from what part of the vehicle that noise is coming from. If it's something you can easily fix then fix it. If it isn't then visit a diagnostic technician and fetch d fault before proceeding for repairs. If you do not have the money to fix d car then park it till u have the money to fix the car. Adopting this maintenance culture ensures that your expenses are minimal at all times.
Having the service manual and studying it ensures that
1. u can't be reaped off as it's d culture of Nigerian mechanics to &
2. U have a fair idea of what went wrong and what needs to be fixed.
I'll give an example, Mercedes Benz S-Class 2000 model is one of the best luxury car there is out there. It's torque, stability, aero-dynamism is superb. It's what we'll call Eshin. The problem with the car is the Airmatic system. It has no normal shocks but air shocks. That model's shocks are so problematic that you'll regret driving the car. There are 2 ways of fixing that problem
1. is study the airmatic system so that you know whats wrong, if its the valves, the air pump, air baloon, piping etc
2. Converting the shocks to manual shocks.

So you see study your car the way you study your wife , em or is it the other way round for some folks

Back to the poster please go download a copy of your car's repair manual from http://www.onlinefreeebooks.net/ if its available and get in touch with a diagnostic technician. In your case I'm suspecting a couple of cases
1. Fuse to the fan is bad
2. Something is wrong around d wires
3. Water Pump
4. Overheating has affected d gasket
5. Radiator/hose is leaking
Just a few that comes to mind right now.

For those of you in the habit of removing the thermostat from your vehicles please desist from that act because you're compounding your problem. Your problem is fixed now but doomsday is postpostponed.

U guys are just bringing back d memories. I guess the 93-2000 had d most memorable experiences

Obi of Onitsha is a direct descendant of d Oba of Benin so also is d Obi of Agbor, all Enogies in Edo state, Owo of Owo, Oba of Akure, Oba of Lagos, Ooni of Ife, Rulers of Igbira, Atuwase of Warri, ruler of Uhrobo. One of d reasons adduced for d Bini empire not expanding much was that d Binis were very wicked. So much atrocities were commited by them. So u see just like in Europe most people in d south that's SW, SE, SS and part of d middle belt are closely related. Various Oba's intermarried amongst eachothers tribes as peace treaties.

Chei! Ewo madam Patience don carry her shoe O. Afterall her husband be no get shoe. See as she hug d bodyguard, is she married? Without insinuating anything something no dey happen between,

Chei! Ewo madam Patience don carry her shoe O. Afterall her husband be no get shoe. She as she hug d bodyguard, is she married? Without insinuating anything something no dey happen between,

yeah that's d name sniper. It works in miraculous ways. Any surface treated with sniper kills any insect be it cockroaches, bugs  etc

una wicked O! 51ke? Kanu should be 40 tops. Kudos to them they look good and very happy. Why wouldn't she with all d pounds her man has.

Long term solution:
Cheap Method
Buy kerosene or get condemned engine oil mixed with petrol and pour in d gutter this will kill all mosquitoe larvaes in d gutters and upturn all tins/containers lying indiscriminately around.

Alternatively, there's a small fish that looks like a tadpole that feeds on mosquitoes and their larvaes.
U can find these types of fish in some gutters in Lekki, Ketu & Ojota where d gutters are quite stagnant.

Expensive Method
Treat the mosquito net, window net, curtains and walls with , Sorry I can't remember d name. Once mosquitoes perch on d treated materials they die off.

Alternatively, hire a fumigator to fumigate in & out of ur home.

Chei Esu! Ure not Esu's incarnate O na u be the actual Esu. Since ure Esu y don't u just kill d man & sleep with his wife 4 life. Of all d small babes running around Naija na Anoda man own u want? You know what we do to d devil now? we fight with prayer so listen to my prayer.

My Lord Jesus, you who all power and dominion has been given, I beseech u this day. I'm faced at a public forum with d devil so I ask good Lord that his joystick will never function until he seeks genuine repentance. Heavenly father, he will know no peace, his business will start failing as I speak, whatever he sets out to do will fail. Let him come back to this forum and acknowledge the existence of ur supernatural power, let him stand as symbol to others that are like him that covet their neighbours property. Lord, let him cry to all those he has hurt and if he doesn't let him cry to death. Let his joystick shrink and decay like a banana in the sun left to rot. As he seeks pleasure let sadness, loneliness, lack of appetite and the attraction of further destruction follow him. Pls God show to atheist and people of like mind in this forum that u truly exist and ure creation and that nothing exists except through u. Thank you heavenly Father because u hear those who are truly ur children. Amen

why wouldn't he tell his family to carry out their traditional responsibility? This is Nigeria, Africa & we've had years of customs that is peculiar to us that has worked 4 us. All u need to do is tell ur family this is who u intend marrying and not spew her life history. Everyone has a history. It is dat history that will enable u make d right decision. As a man u weigh ur familys findings with that which u discreetly know & come 2 a conclusion. When we go back to our traditional ways we will see that women will be more careful in their actions.

@Poster The man controls 50% of her financial life and u sit there saying its obvious he has some sort of control on her? Just permit me to say 'Oriokpe'. Let me lay out d facts 4 u.

A woman that cheats with a married man has a 75% chance of cheating in future. It might not be same person.
I don't like doing this but I have to go with d statistics on ground. If ur gf is yoruba there is a 82% chance that she'll cheat although this doesn't apply to all d yorubas save a few that have curses against cheating wives.
Your gf isnt 'born again' & from d sound of it u aren't either. If u both were then I would have said u both now have completely new lives, new mindsets new goals.
I don't subscribe to d school of tot that says we can't police who we want to marry or married to. Our traditional way is to let ur family know who u want to marry and they are 2 carry out investigations on ur behalf. They'll investigate d girls past, her family(hereditary problems, financial problems, marital problems etc). Only ur family can undertake dis for u in a non-attached manner. U cannot just wake up and say I wanna get married to this lady. Do d right thing.
U should know that there is no laziness in marriage, u can't look unkempt, or know d basics of marriage. U have 2 be at ur guard 24/7. The enemy is looking for ways to take away our happiness. Since red flags are raised now I'll suggest u get ur family involved right away b4 u make a mistake dat U'll have to live with 4 d rest of ur life.

“Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar. My soul has dwelt too long with one who hates peace. I am for peace; But when I speak, they are for war.” (Psalm 120:5-7)
Hmmm Pastor does know how to draw inspiration. I admire his courage. May he continue to be guided by God. All the traps, snares and fangs of the enemy shall not come near him. As he fights to uplift the common man so the good Lord shall uplift him in times of despair. Make no mistake pastor, they'll be coming after you with all canons blazing but hold steadfast to your God & he'll do exploits. Nigeria shall be great.

Nigerian Army is losing its discipline. A lady can never wear any form of jewelry, extra piece of clothing with her uniform. She couldn't even use make up in uniform

Una produce a dullard with Phd. How e take get am?

@Poster if ure bright enuf and willing to work hard then I'll suggest u sit for SAT and apply for scholarships in the US. The best medical school in d country at d moment is Niger-Delta University in Bayelsa. They can compete favourably with the overseas counterparts because of d vast sums pumped in there by d current administration. Furthermore, they employing d best medical brains in d country. AAU, Igbinedion, Madonna is an absolute no for me. Uniben have over admitted so they need to clear their backlog.

Please people should stop talking about subsidy. It doesn't exist. What we have is a a tax hike of more than 400%. Actual price of PMS in Nigeria is N39.50k.
All the chickens are coming home to roost. The cabals & their backers in govt. are gradually being exposed. It has just come to light that the AGF is behind Oando and Eterna Oil. His various multi-million dollar, pounds and euro accounts have been exposed by ireports-ng.com. We are being robbed by this govt.

Sanusi's argument is this: Marketer A imports 5MTof PMS, bribes his way through customs and claims he imported 25MT of PMS. Sanusi's Solution: Remove d fuel subsidy. My Question: in this age of technology and computers are they saying it is impossible to monitor d amount of fuel imported into this country? If it's impossible to monitor inbound fuel it then goes to show that outbound crude oil isn't monitored.
My Solution: I call for d immediate dissolution of d management of NNPC and Customs & call for their probe by a foreign audit firm. A foreign audit firm in partnership with Oracle or SAP can create the right inventory process for these agencies. Furthermore, the prosecution of all parties involved. They have to explain their fat accounts including that of their spouses and children. Enuf is enuf.

I agree with u that there is an initial inflation but d inflation is shortlived because of CBNs actions 2 curb inflation. It's all about the multiplier effects of these actions. Once money is reduced from circulation and aggregate demand falls the govt profits big time. Once a new market equilibrium is reached the value of local currency becomes stronger. This is why d IMF is against the deregulation. I'm a fan of Buharinomics and I know Buhari would have made d refineries work to curb d exchange rate increase but then given that recurrent expenditure is 77% of D budget even Buhari would allow d inflation to bring down recurrent expenditure to about 40-50% of D budget. In order that GEJ be re-elected he shot himself by allowing 18k minimum wage. When u consider what d political class is earning and d civil servants then u see d need for allowing inflation to set in.

@GenBuhari Sorry I didn't finish that. Reduced liquidity essentially means a stronger currency and an increased FDI(Foreign Direct Investment) due to foreign investors having d impression that there is a better investment climate in Nigeria. Removing d so called subsidy makes Nigerian economy attractive to foreign investors. Dat is why OBJ increased d price of fuel so many times so as to grow the external reserves and made d economy much more attractive externally. Fuel price increase is a form of contractionary fiscal policy by govt. It's also meant to create an artificial economic environment to show big time investors the d economy is in redistribution and dat d multiplier effects of monetary policy of d CBN would make earnings on their investment worthwhile.

GenBuhari:
First of all, let us be clear :

Fuel is not subsidised. Meaning that consumers are already paying per litre more than it cost Nigeria to produce fuel.

Why the government is being so deceitful by calling fuel price increases, "subsidy removal" is beyond me.

Perhaps they think by calling it "subsidy removal", there would be less protest as presumably people would believe that government is simply withdrawing a "gift" (the supposed subsidy)  they had given us .

Well during his era, Obasanjo continually hiked fuel prices (upto  N75 /litre)  under the same pretence of "subsidy removal" and said he would use the money on "other things". In the end, he could not show what he use all the revenue realised for.

And the same old fool Obj  is here lecturing GEJ not to "remove subsidy" even though current fuel prices at N65/litre is less than what he had imposed on us before he left office.
This old fool Obasanjo has no shame!

The truth is that IMF have instructed our government to impoverish Nigerians further and the fuel hike is going to go hand in hand with the devaluation of the Naira. That is the real reason for the price hike, so do not be expecting any revenue from it to be available to be spent on "other things".

You would realise that what devaluation does is to cause price of almost eveything to increase (rise in inflation). Since the government does not compensate the masses with an equivalent adjustment or rise in wages, what it  effectively means is that everybody effectively takes a massive pay cut (mass impoverishment).

So since it seems that government is proposing N140 /litre , this would indicate that the devaluation would eventually be about 50% - which means price of most things is likely to double and the exchange rate could reach $1=N320

Fellow Nigerians prepare for the latest round of our impoverishment!!

God bless us all and Nigeria !

I just read through your write up. However, I'll like to correct some misconceptions you've made. Basic macroeconomics is the basis of my argument. Increase in the price of fuel = Increased Inflation which leads to the CBN putting in place monetary policy to curb high inflation as a result of deregulation. The monetary policy action by the CBN would require reducing money liquidity in the economy by increasing interest rates and making it  expensive to borrow. Fall in liquidity for the common man will mean more hardship. God helps us revolution next.
There are 2 major groups in any society, the nationalist and the reformists. Let me put it this way, the nationalists fight for the state to be more powerful and for the rule of law to apply to all. They want competition in all markets except for markets dominated by the market. Reformists prefer a laissez-faire economy where public companies are sold off and the ruling elite are above the law. Buhari heads the nationalists and Tinubu/OBJ the reformists though they're of different parties but they share the same ideology.
The reformists are trying to make the labour market competitive so hiking prices would mean shrinking of the upper middle class, increasing the lower middle class as well as further increase of the poor class. What this effectively does in 2013 is to reduce the recurrrent expenditure budget and probably increase the capital budget but since the reformists in power since 1999 except for a brief nationalist reign(Yar' Adua) have always increased the allowances of their croonies, the recurrent exp. budget is always larger than capital expenditure.

@femionasan Speech kini? Ok! Me I dey use tagbon recognition software plus lie detector

My people there is a problem. The not fight the messenger address the message. He just lay the simple truth for us to know. Something has to be done, this cannot continue. There must be a change
