This is the same reno that said he doesn't hate igbos and that if he did, he won't name his daughter an igbo name bla bla bla. But if you check most of his useless write up he is always insulting igbos.


Dear igbos, whenever you hear someone that is always insulting use that line "I have helped igbos in the past or I name my child an igbo name therefore I don't hate igbos"..... na dem gan gan hate igbos don't fall for their nonsense explanation.


And as for reno he will remain in exile for life.

Reno, who I don't rate anyway, has actually never insulted Igbos or any tribal group.

Do you mean to say that he has issues with some Igbo persons? Say that instead.

Okay on a lighter note, "ipoby" made me laugh.

The only thing holding Akwa Ibom state back
Is the Ibom deep sea port....

The state is surrounded by bad roads with makes export from the state difficult,

Investors wouldn't love to invest in such environment

The only thing keeping Lagos on top is the sea port

If Nigeria was a serious country
All the eastern ports would be working since the 80s

Every port is working in this country and it was Buhari who revitalised the moribund ones. But we're not ready for that conversation, are we?

Herdamorlar:
Not giving public holidays to employees are rampant nowadays especially private companies like supermarkets, fuel stations, E-commerce etc. Working from Monday to Saturday/Sunday and when everybody is at home for the holidays, you don't have any choice than to still go to work. Is this slavery or we don't have good leadership to fight for their people.

Slavery is defined by the abrogation/arrogation of another person's free will, meaning they are not able to freely decide not to start and stop employment. That's it.

If a person is at liberty to take or reject a job then that job, no matter how harsh, is not slavery.

Also, you're actually not entitled to public holidays as of right. You're entitled to annual leave and sick leave but public holidays are subject to your employer.

I dedicate this post to those fake pastors that said!

1, election will not hold, still election hold

2, Tinubu will not win, still he won

3, Tinubu will die before may 29 still baba stand

4, supreme court will disqualify Tinubu yesterday, instead court make money for themselves

It's now clear that even if I and Obi run election for my local government I will beat him hands down 😁😁

By may 30th obituary people must eat agbado 🤭🤭

Quote me, tag me mention mode I am use to you guy's 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️

Courts do not make money from cases. Costs are paid to the parties on the other side.

I don't see what your problem is though.

You're missing her or what?

taretoofine:
most of these are invidual efforts

What of 4 Nigerian universities making the top 1000 simultaneously? Has it ever happened before?

It's not the best to appoint persons into posts they're not the best at but if we look at the critical indicators I think we can say there are positive indicators in terms of education across the country.

For example:

1. Nigerians from all over the country have been excelling globally:

a. Fatima Maikusa has won 7 international medals
https://twitter.com/OvieNews/status/1588575298022703104

b. Noel Ifeanyi Alumona became the first African to win the AFS award since 1914

c. Students from Onitsha win global award

https://www.blueprint.ng/4-nigerian-students-win-global-award/

d. Lautech students win prize for innovation

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/595756-nigerian-students-innovative-project-wins-american-universitys-award.html

2. Nigerian Universities made the top 1000 on the Time's Higher Education ranking for the first time in decades (if not ever)

https://punchng.com/ranking-ui-lasu-unilag-cu-make-top-1000-world-varsities/#:~:text=A%20breakdown%20of%20the%20ranking,after%20usurping%20UI%20since%202018.

It's not been a bad period for education at all.

HardMirror:
I will keep this short and no one should send me any message.

So last year I decided to revisit freelancing because I am a gifted writer and been writing for many years so why not use it to make money?

So I registered on a freelancing site and the journey began.

Making money is never the problem if you are a freelancer, the problem is how much time can you give to the job.
The job was just too much that i had to employ many nairalanders to work for me.
At a point I was earning $900 per week (i could earn much more than this but where is the time to do more work?) but the work was just too much. So much that i moved to an hotel for several months just so that i can focus and have the hotel staff attend to all my needs so I dont have to do any work except my writing job.

This is a job that would make you want to go mad. You will work mornimg and night as if you have no life. Forget social life, all you will be after is to meet deadlines.

People will think you are a yahoo boy because you dont go to an office and you are always on your laptop. They also see that you dont have problem with money. To make it worse you are always going to bank to collect dollars and take to aboki.

I shake my head when i see nigerians complaining that there is no work. There is work but most people cannot work. That is just the truth.

If you know you can make these sacrifices then you should consider freelancing so far you have the skills for the jobs you want to apply for.

Still waiting for the sad part.

Kobojunkie:
All I read is you equate love with sex and your wife denying you sex means she has no love for you. And you somehow think the blame should all be on her as far as all the problems you perceive in your marriage, no be so? **yawn***

That's not fair. Didn't you see what he said about him travelling and his wife not even caring to know if he's arrived safely?

It's also mean of you to attempt to invalidate his feelings with that yawn.

PoliteActivist:
Ok, a 16 y.o. boy seducing a 20 y.o. girl and being a hero in the eyes of his friends is same as a 20 y.o. boy seducing a 16 y.o. girl thereby tagging her a whor. Weh done

Whats the differrence? In both of your examples an ADULT actively engages a minor.

What distinction are you trying to show?

Will your answer be different if a 14 year old girl seduces a 20 year old man?

sonature1:
That's FALSE. Every people and government has its peculiarities. Governments of China, Saudi Arabia, and India still control some of the most financed corporations in their countries. Some of those state-run institutions have even gone international with footprints spread across countries.

I maintain that what should work for Nigeria is PPP. Don't leave sensitive sectors in the hands of devilish Nigerians to avoid massive exploitation. Forget religion - Nigerians are evil by default. That's the mentality they carry everywhere they go - both public and private sectors.

No it is not false. It's rudimentary economics. Of course some governments may be more effective than others at running businesses, but as a rule, profit making is best left to the pivate sector. Especially in a democracy and by extension, a free market economy.

cucumbar:
There is No beautiful city in Nigeria, well, maybe Abuja to an extent. All other so called cities are ghettos.

I was going to say this. Abuja is the only beautiful city in Nigeria.

sonature1:
I don't quite agree.

We can make it a PPP.

Nigerians are too deadly and terrible.

Leave everything in their hands and see them exploit others and abuse it.

Basic economics holds that governments are not best suited for running businesses.

You create a viable environment for private investors and allow the private sector to compete with minimal regulationnfrom the government.

baralatie:
That is what people did not get about the refinery!
Dangote built that refinery on the back of fg grants.loans.buff.eaiverd and CBN.


Without the fg therefinery won't see morning

Okay, and so?

Is the refinery good or not?

Why this fixation with how it was financed, especially when we've heard he's repaid 70% of the loan?

Does the 150,000 jobs created add value? Does the fx saved add value? Does having reliable fuel suppy add value?

You are pained and looking for reasons to complain about something that will be a blessing. Why?

Let me tell you, Dangote has no need to build a refinery to make billions. With just 1 billion he cam easily relax and invest in real estate or engage in forex round tripping to make exponential profits.

He used his innitiative to create something we've been crying out for decades. Yet people like you are still finding reasons not to be happy.

Please examine your heart.

Dengoh:
Go and sin no more. Although your comments had little or nothing to do with the ban.

At least you have saved us from all these " how to poo poo in UK" menace.

Is that what you think? When a government wants to push through potentially unpopular laws or policies, they use the media to create a help shape public opinion.

What this young man has done is provide all the justification they need to turn around and say, see we were right.

lexy2014:
1. Good. So where is that "similar concept" in okpella?

2. You don't know his reasoning but you were emphatic when you it was because of LFTZ that Dangote chose Lagos over other locations. If u didn't know his reasoning, why were you emphatic?

3. No number 3 has nothing to do with number 2. If Dangote was strictly looking for an FTZ, why was he in Ondo and Ogun before he came to Lagos to site his refinery? If there was no LFTZ in Lagos, would Dangote not have sited his refinery in Lagos? Was LFTZ his first choice?

1. Tax breaks, and discounted land.

2. HE SAID SO HIMSELF - how many times should I repeat this?

3. Again, I don't know all the factors he considered. What I know is that HE SAID THE LFTZ was the reason they were there

lexy2014:
1. you claimed that Dangote is in Edo state because Edo state has an LFTZ structure similar to that of Lagos. when did Edo state government put LFTZ in okpella?

2. is it like Dangote had all the various locations from PH, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Ogun, Ondo and Lagos on the table and then out of all these he chose Lagos because of LFTZ?

3. if there was no LFTZ in lagos, are you saying Dangote wouldnt have sited the refinery in Lagos?

1. How can Edo put LFTZ in Okpella? The L stands for Lekki. I said Edo created a similar (similar does not mean identical) structure - that is a similar concept in terms of investment-friendly policies such as free or discounted land.

2. I told you my statement was based on what Dangote said so why not forward subsequent queries on this subject to him? I wouldn't know his reasoning except for that which he has said openly.

3. See 2 above.

lexy2014:
where is dangote in Edo state?

how did Dangote choose lagos over other locations because of LFTZ?

1. https://dangote.com/q1-2022-dangote-cement-ramps-up-production-at-okpella-plant/

2. He said so himself yesterday, giving thanks to Tinubu for the initiative.

5 or 6 paragraphs of PR material and only one sentence to state what exactly the company does. Do you think anyone will click that your link with what you've presented?

Mrfeel:
He should have built it in ondo or ogun since he is afraid of niger delta militants

Ondo ordinarily is the best but the reason he chose Lagos over such locations is simply, Lekki Free Trade Zone!

Your governors will know the right things to do and not do them. Edo created a similar structure and today Dangote is also in Edo with his cement plant.

WriterrNig:
She's engaged to his $500m yacht and the billion dollar divorce settlement not Jeff BOZO.

These rich idiotic men never learn. Rich women never make such mistake.

She won't get that much - is she marries him after the wealth has come, and doesn't have children, she'll get a very small amount. besides, Bezos will have enough lawyers to draft a solid pre-nup.

And even if he has to lose some billions, so what? He has more than enough to bounce back.

Or11:
There's something called a warning which is what you could have told her. Try this stunt in a developed world and watch her sue you.

In the developed world you will be on probation for months and in probationary periods, you can be fired without warning.

I do agree that he should have at least asked some questions to have the full picture and be sure that the lady is genuinely not serious.

Staphylococcus:
5 minutes, I will buy land.

I will spend a billion in less than 30 minutes. I will just dump on real estate and revisit later.

When we say people should respect Dangote this is what we mean. There are so many easy ways to make money but Dangote consistently toes the path of production helping to develop industries that multiply value.

No shades at you though, just using your post to illustrate a point.

Probably 50% of that South South one is due to cultism.

It seems Anambra is doing well education wise. Kudos to the State!

I also noticed this time and the last time a similar story was published, it was all girls. Where are the young men?

greenermodels:
Hilda Baci should sue him for damages if she can afford it, she might get lawyers willing to take the case for a share of the money won as damages if she requests for it on social media.

Doesn't work like that. The first stage is a request for apology. If he refuses then she can claim damages.

But basically, even at that, you can't sue him for defamation because he only expressed an opinion.

fuckuigbos:
God bless Nigeria
God bless Tinubu
God bless Niger Delta
God bless Hausa
God bless Igbo
God bless Yoruba.

Let us massively support Tinubu to make Nigeria a better place.

I don't believe he will watch the Fulani terrorists kill Nigerians indiscriminately again after 29th May, but should things not change after his ist tenure let us call it a day and evwrybody back to his tent.

A dead Tinubu is better than 1million living Buhari

You can't be posting this with that username. If you have repented, you must deactivate that username and use another.

Officialgarri:
When you are serious with business and the FG knows there's benefit for the government, then they will hastily render help.

But children of hate and poverty stricken people will begin to lay curse on a wealthy man and scream monopoly.

It's not help. It's business - NNPC is a supplier and Dangote is a buyer. no reason not to sell to him especially when there are fewer logistical hindrances to doing so.

Reference:
I will have rather loved to hear that Dangote Refinery 'is purchasing crude oil', rather than the NNPC 'supplying'.....
This little seemingly insignificant wording has serious implications in a country such as Nigeria where accountability is a serious problem.

The relationship between Dangote and the NNPC should be conducted with utmost transparency and in the public interest only because it involves national assets, resources, our collective patrimony and as such there must not be any hint of underhand dealings.

Purchases of crude must be to the barrel and receipts must be paid to the relevant agencies in a timely manner because the end products will be paid for by citizens at the point of consumption.

We don't want to hear about shady transactions and the kinds of unsavoury dealings that have characterized the NNPC for over 50 years no matter what coat they wear these days.

The National Assembly must take the centre stage in checking this in requesting for comprehensive audits of the transactions between both parties to the highest standards possible.

We cannot afford to exit the corruption around the fuel subsidy caper of the last twenty five years and merely change the address of the perpetrators. And yes, the NNPC has been in cahoots.

Stop it. You know very well that the use of the word supply there was not intended to imply any of the conclusions you're hastily rushing into. A person who sells is a supplier. That does not imply that it will be supplied for free anywhere in the world.

How would the NNPC give away petroleum for free - to a businessman at that. What would be the incentive?

GreatVocalist:
Is this how to counter an argument?

I believe in the spiritual, but his point is very reasonable.

Even if his point was without reason, you shouldn't argue with such manner of approach. The righteousness you preach should also be expressed in your manner of approach.

Someone that calls herself sea goddess preaching righteousness and you listened?
