Politics › Re: Let The Igbos Go — Asari Dokubo (Video) by SmartyPants(m): 11:17am On Jul 06, 2023

Lol.


Let the Igbo go.

Wetin Igbo people do asari dokubo.

The idi,.ot that obj dealt with.

I wonder how militants become political players in Nigeria

I mean people who kidnap, rape, steal, rob and kill.

Then after successful career in militancy they become part of the govt.

Nairaland is breeding terrorists.
Niger Delta militants are particularly unique among all militants in Nigeria, in that they never ever turned on their own people. Never. They never killed indiscriminately, and they had a clear cause that all the world could agree was just.

That is why it was and still is relatively easy to reintegrate them into society. Fundamentally, their cause is just, as the Niger Delta has been used and abused by the entire Nigeria and even the foreign world.

I've always said it. Edo people are quite brilliant academically and typically end up as high-achieving professionals, or academics. But as brilliant as we are, we are also quite humble and reserved.

Production does.
Aggressive taxation does not stop production provided there are production-friendly monetary policies in place and a stable operating environment.

This is to show you the level of bad belle and jealousy against the igbo people in this country, anambra has always remains on top in academic in this country and this time around they wanted to rig it like they did against Peter obi, what a shame

But wait. Is Nigeria judiciary fair?. Telling a poor girl to sue jamb who said snake came into office and swallowed millons of naira?. I wonder why you people rely on Nigerian institutions after knowing how far they can go to compromise things. Till date nobody has given account of that money swallowed by snake in their office. What a country?
What are you talking about? A single JAMB staff was prosecuted for embezzlement and gave that as her excuse not JAMB as an institution.

I think all her old results like this proves her innocence. Why should a brilliant candidate resort to forgery? It's very unlikely
What kind of reasoning is this? Haven't you seen brilliant students falter? Rich men go broke? Honest men turn wicked?

With the mountain of evidence that has been laid against her, and the absence of any reasonable reason why JAMB would want to victimize her, it seems superficially clear that JAMB is correct.

Now, if the girl and her supporters know that genuinely JAMB is wrong, what are they waiting for? They should head to the Courts immediately so that the forensic experts will have an opportunity to lay the matter to rest.

Nigeria has much bigger concerns than this.

So what is she supposed to do during the 3 years

Let her take the Jamb again next year

Just give her a Private warning
That may have been tenable but as most unwise crooks, the girl and her family decided to try to paint JAMB black instead of being contrite.

The only thing Instagram really needs to do to eclipse Twitter is to allow twitter-like functionality on the existing app. Essentially, let people track the comments of the people they follow.

Business › Re: People Working For Me Have Houses Abroad But I Don’t — Dangote by SmartyPants(m): 6:32pm On Jul 03, 2023
WhisperedNoise:
Statements like these sound humble but upon closer inspection, you'll find out that they're not.

Dangote is the richest black man in the world. He spends a considerable amount of time abroad. If he spends a chunk of time in the US, why shouldn't he have a house there?

Note that the cost of him paying for hotels will be astronomical...I mean, he won't stay in a two star hotel. Calculate the amount of hotel fees, and cross it against purchasing a house and see whether it makes sense.

Also, every man has a weakness. For Bill Gates, it's philanthropy. For Bezos, it's it's $500 million yatch. For some, it might be vintage cars. For some, Oyster watches. For some, horses. For some, houses. For some, clothes.

Let's not judge people because we don't fancy their proclivities.
Try to pay attention to the reason he gave. It wasn't about money. It was about time.

Tell us the skills which you learnt that got you a job. Then, tell us how you apply those skills.
Tell us how you've excelled and how others can learn from it, you are telling empty stories.
I won't lie, my thoughts were drifting towards this direction, like madam you get job or you no get?

Nothing is going to crumble. Never knew we had all these general's yet insecurity persists.

It's either their input is been felt,or they should go home and rest.
That's not what he's saying. He's saying Nigeria is the only country that can retire this many generals and not crumble - because we have way too many senior officers already. The point is that the military is bloated with top men.

Politics › Re: Subsidy Removal: FG Saves ₦‎400 Billion In Four Weeks by SmartyPants(m): 12:07pm On Jun 30, 2023
Kukutenla:
Sorry but that part of the statement is pure hogwash I had to jump and pass it. Who are the fat cats? Can anyone name them? IPMAN is supporting subsidy removal. MOMAN is supporting subsidy removal. NNPC is saying subsidy removal is the way. Political office holders are all united on the removal of subsidies. Big industrialists like Dangote and Co are in support of subsidy removal. So who are the ghost fat cats who want to frustrate the idea of subsidy removal? I believe it is a siege mentality form of propaganda being used to make people think there are some people who are hoping to feed on the masses' despair to force subsidy back, and that labour is being careful not to play into their hands. This is a perfect ad hominiem to give as reason they can't go on strike or call for protest.

I didn't even give that part a second looking. That's a fat lie. It is the masses who are uncomfortable with subsidy removal. The elites lose nothing. Rather, they are at NMDPRA fighting for import license so as to get a piece of the new pie. I believe you are smart enough to see through the fact that the present Labour is on the side of govt on this issue. The whole speech reeked of bunkum you'll expect to hear from a govt spokesperson to deceive gullible people that labour is on their side and negotiating to get them the best deal possible.

That's being my point all along!
Fair enough
