Seeking to gain admission into one of the state unis (Thanks to my GM). I smashed Post UTME but JAMB did me shege.. sad

Meanwhile, Computer science is still my first choice. huh huh
Since your interest is Comp Sci. I would advise that you take Statistics, which is the closest thing to it on the list. There is a whole field of Comp Sci built on statistics - i.e data anaylsis.

Funny guy. The wall is still there and you can visit Benin if you would like to see it. To sit down in your little cubicle and be frothing about myths that the entire world knows as fact, shows how tiny your brain is.

Tell us.

Ali and Ogbemudia are state heroes. Who else is there and done what.

The only thing Edo knows how to do well is twisting history to favour themselves
Yes, Edo is always a source of deep internal pain to certain yorubas with low self-esteem. It's okay.

The greatness of Edo speaks for itself. But for the coming of the British, the history of southern Nigeria would have been the history of the Benin kingdom, which at its pomp stretched to every nook and cranny of the south.

The British and Portuguese were astonished at the development of Benin city which had paved roads, storey buildings, and the longest man-made wall in history. Even longer than the great wall of China.

As for who is else is there and done what. LOL! Edo continues to churn out great names after great names though you may not know by their name alone, that they are Edo. Did you know Murtala Muhammed was an Edo man for example?

Edo people are quiet professionals. Look at our State. Despite being relatively small, with negligible oil output compared to the major oil producers, Edo is still 7th int terms of IGR and GDP. That shows you the immense resourcefulness and intellectual capacity of our people.

In fact, if we take Edo and Delta and form a new country, no other country in Africa will be able to compete.

I am happy i am from Edo. We have always supplied Nigeria good entertainers and sport stars.

Entertainers are Dj Neptune, Rema, Jonny Drill, Adesua, Charles Inojie, mc Edo pikin, Nancy Isime e.t.c

We have always supplied Nigeria good strikers. E.g Osaze Odemwingie, Odion Ighalo and now Victor Osimen, e.t.c

Don't want to talk of politics.

We also have a rich ancestry. Till today Museums around the world are returning our artworks.
The lesson is, be proud of your roots no matter where you come from cos despite our challenges, Nigeria is blessed.
Even Bethlehem Ephrathah that was the least clan, produced Jesus

Romance › Re: What Occupation Would Stop You From Dating Or Marrying Someone? by SmartyPants(m): 11:10pm On Jan 24, 2023
Zobah:
I recently hung out with a group of girlfriends I hadn’t seen in a very long time. I’d like to say that it’s because we’re all busy,so I was grateful to get the opportunity to catch up with my girls.

As usual, those ladies that were single lamented about their nonexistent relationship status. “Where were all the good guys?” “Why do they all live with their mama or have multiple baby mamas?” “How come they don’t have great jobs or make a lot of money?” I quietly sat there listening, not missing any of my single days. However, the more I listened, the more questions formulated in my head. “What constitutes as a great job?” “What is ‘a lot’ of money?” After all, those things are pretty relative, so I was curious to learn what types of guys they were attracting and why they felt these men weren’t good enough.

One friend said, “The doorman in my building asked me out on a date. Can you believe it? Like I’d date ‘the help’.” Suddenly, I began to understand why some of these women were still single.

“What’s wrong with the doorman?” I asked.

“Uh, he’s a doorman,” she responded, as if the answer was obvious.

I followed up by asking if it was just doormen she was against, or any man who was in a service/customer service type of job. After all, “the help” is not limited to doormen, maids, butlers, janitors or any other job that reminds her of “slavery” (her words, not mine). Service industries also include positions within sectors such as hospitality, sales, public health and any other position where your responsibility is to service or be of service to other people. But because those were still considered service industry jobs in a sense, were they too deemed not respectable? “Would she not date a man in any of those fields?” I thought to myself.

What Occupation would stop you from dating or marrying Someone?

Jones4190:
the investment itself was next to nothing
This is why financial education is a must. If people really understood what Peter Obi did in Anambra, he would be behind bars by now.

You take state money and invest in a business you own. When you do that, you are giving the money to the shareholders - yourself. Then after a while you turn around and say the shares are worth next to nothing.

Who became fabulously wealthy in the process? You of course. He is rather clever, I'll give him that.

Nigeria has messed up that profession badly. Imagine lawyers earning as low as 40k per month. And they will still be expected to wear suit and appear sharp cheesy cheesy

Many lawyers are now fighting with local agents that didn't even write WAEC in the streets grin grin

I don't know between Lawyers and Teachers who are the most abused profession cheesy grin
Don-'t get it wrong. There are those hustling at the lower ends of the profession but at the middle to higher end its extremely rewarding.

Aside from that, these figures are presented haphazardly.

AmuDimpka:
read in between lines
There are no lines to read in between. It's fairly logical to conclude that this woman has been working with Tinubu for months so she had all this information the entire time. If she suddenly decided to leave now, it seems likely that the decisions was caused by an external stimulus not an internal one. The manner in which she rushed to the press to air Tinubu's dirty laundry also suggests anger and retaliation. Otherwise she could have simply resinged in peace. Moreover, if her reasons were genuine she would have decamped to either Peter Obi or Kwankwaso.

She resigned ... While they are typing sack letter

Clowns

While the APC crazy party was busy typing her sack letter

Why vote for a party that find it difficult and take time to type ordinary sack letter...

Supporting APC is just madness ... It doesn't make sense
Where did they say she resigned while they were tyoing the sack letter? The write up says she announced her resignation once she received the letter.

Which makes sense because if this woman knew all this all this time, why did she only resign now?

Peter Obi of course
Lol.

Peter Obi is a serial law breaker and fraduster.

1. Up until he was exposed, the man broke numerous laws by hiding secret Pandora accounts that could not account for any business activities. That is money laundering.

2. The man took Anambra state monies and bought shares in his family business. Now - this business was privately traded, thus the valuation was privately determined. When he ploughed millions of Anambra State money into it, this money went into the pockets of the shareholders, including himself and his family. That is fraud.

3. The man was caught moving 250 million naira of Anambra money in cash. This is money laudering. And particularly, of a type so greivious that it is what the law calls a strict liability offence - when caught, as Doyin Okupe found, there is no defence.

So what do you have to say to these? This are the ones that came to light - if he has been breaking the law in such a manner, one only wonders what he will do in the presidency.

When we say that support for Obi is largely based on religion and ethnicity, you people scream and cry out. But can you see? You expect Yorubas and Hausas, to oppose their own tribe but your own people receive a deluge of curses when they do the same.

Why?

You even went as far as attaching his State to the insult, to show how jingoistic your mind is.

Bullshit
So you did not see where i said exactly what you said?

It costs Innoson absolutely nothing to evacuate faulty buses and replace them. What operational challenges could justify not doing so?

So you can't leave the major failing here and focus on the reactive failing in order to paint the picture of being marginalised. Stop it! That is to say, one who means well for Nigeria should first caution Innoson to do the right thing, before quarreling with their disgruntled customer for calling them out.

The car industry has a regulator. There is a difference between a disgruntled "customer" complaining and a GOVT agency running to the media to run down its biggest car marker for an industry that's trying to find its foot even after this is sorted. Years to come this will remain a reference point even for other countries. This crab mentality must stop.
If the chief complaint was over defective vehicles, then yes this could be referred to regulators. However, the agency is not even trying to down that route.

This is not a vehicle manufacturing issue. This is a simple contractual issue - I paid for service, I deserve service. sImple.

Now yes the government and all it's agencies should not destroy local industries, similarly, local producers have a responsibility to at least do the bare minimum. It costs Innoson absolutely nothing to evacuate faulty buses and replace them. What operational challenges could justify not doing so?

So you can't leave the major failing here and focus on the reactive failing in order to paint the picture of being marginalised. Stop it! That is to say, one who means well for Nigeria should first caution Innoson to do the right thing, before quarreling with their disgruntled customer for calling them out.

PHIPEX:
This is not SOMEONE, this is GOVT running down its biggest car maker. Whatever be the case, this same mentality that makes EFCC employ media trial of suspects. They have damaged their reputation to the public yet we have not heard from Innoson.

Do you know how many cars Toyota recall in a year, have you read the Japanese media run them down?

This is like Dangote cement running down dangote sack company because they supplied faulty sack.
The agency is not running down the carmaker. It is complaining about specific acts of misbehaviour. In fact, the actual complaint is not the defective buses, but the refusal of the company to evacuate the failed ones and replace them. Again I ask, would you rather they dragged them to Court or what would you suggest? Should local producers be left free to run riot since local production is now carte Blanche to misbehave?

If they can do this to the government, what about you and I? So these are the issues. Development is not on the shoulders of government alone. Citizens too, like Innoson must play their part by making the best use of opportunities. The government has done well by ensuring that it patronises you, which has led to foreign governments coming in to do the same,a s you noted. Why should you repay that with poor service and expect a free pass because it's local production?

As for waiting to hear from the company, it's clear you did not read the report, as the company's response is captured within.
