I have no dog in this race cos I'm atheist but I don't see how this pertains to anything. Jerry Eze wears what he's comfortable with and these ones here are wearing what they like. Would you wear babaringa to swim cos u saw a pastor do it? Who decides what one wear?

Is it not then obvious that you can't possibly understand the context of this discussion, which pertains to Christian values?

ZombieDredd:
they will not push it to front page now oo

mods, how far?

It has been shown by posters just a few posts up above yours that the Bashir is the original poster of that story so how do you expect the mods to push such a nonsensical thread to the front page?

Racists everywhere including British racists hate to see bold , innovative and smart black people . What British racists did to Igbos is same thing American racists did when they burned the black Wall Street down, killing all the black peoples that set up that amazing enterprise in Tulsa Oklahoma in the 1930s. The technological advancement started by Japan after the world war 2 which spread to the rest of Asia 50 years after was what Igbos could have done for the black world. Igbos met the white people late around 1891 about 300 years after other parts of Nigeria have had access to whites but in a space of 40 years Igbos have overtaken every other tribe in all spheres. There is a video from 1962 where Ahmadu Bello attested to this complaining bitterly about Igbo dominance but instead of the British to encourage the technologically inclined and smart tribe, they felt threatened and the rest they say is history. Go and Read the book “ In Biafra black Africa Died” and you will ask yourself what progress have Nigeria made with the abundant human and natural resources since they removed Igbo from power? Igbos have not been in power since 1966 but you find the same people that say they have president, Vice President, Supreme Court justice, service chiefs, senate and house of reps leadership etc still wailing bitterly to same Igbos for many years now . What does that tell you about stuff Igbos are made of?

Stupid, childish talk. It's so sad - it's the 21st century, and see what an adult is saying!

let me waste a little time attempting to rid you of the inferiority complex that makes you so desperate to be seen as superior.

Britain didn't do anything to spite the Igbos! They simply wanted oil - the same oil that all of you want from the Niger Delta. The same oil that made Ironsi and Ojukwu deprive the Niger Delta man of the very freedom they and their people would seek a few months later, of which some like you continue to seek to this day. Should we then say the Igbos feel threatened by the Niger Deltans?

Besides, what technological advancement were Igbos known for before the war? How about before the coming of the British? Nothing at all! They were simply ambitious and hardworking people who took advantage of the British education introduced through colonialism to seek offices in the civil service and military. These same people now turn around to say their British educators were hateful racitsts. As if you could have had a platform without the British?

The idea that the black race lost its opportunity with the Igbos would sound like a joke, but then I've observed that you people really believe this. Which suggests your brain is likely not working well.

Earthquakes:
Lol price of Rice just increased 😁🤦🏽‍♂️

Where?

Well, that's the end of the Nigeria/Jamaica beef they dare not say pim!

It is hard because you most likely learned the elementary things and then you want to get a job abroad. Don't you know that everyone in Africa, Asia, South America, and most of Europe wants that remote job you also want? If four candidates from Africa, Asia, South America, and Europe apply for the same remote job and have the same credentials, don't you realize the African is least likely to get it? To get the job, you have to go beyond the bare minimum.

To use OP's data analysis example, being an average data cleaner and dashboard creator is no longer enough. You have to know Python and be good at statistical analysis.

Even at that, the competition is still so tough. The idea that remote jobs will fall into your laps is wrong. It's competitive everywhere.

Lolz.
But there is no need arresting native doctors, I thought we have right to worship?
Except u are sure they are practicing some dark magic or ritual killings, u can't just arrest them.

Did you read what he said?

obeegee:
In other words, when you were speaker, you were not accountable to anyone, including your constituents who voted for you, the house of rep members you made you speaker and nigerians who you serve?

Lol

Even a toddler won't reason like this. There are better ways to do opposition than making a fool of yourself!

sucess001:
lunatics.

They can decieve themselves but not us.

Changing well accoted criteria just to look good.

LMAO.

Success, what "well accoted" criteria was changed?

Try and "accot" your brain o!

Dictionary of everything! It must be exhausting for you being wrong 100% of the time , Goodnight Mr mental Capacity abi na capacitor . Next !!!!

Well, I wouldn't know anything about that as I'm usually right but Elvis my boy, you and both know that you used AI to write that post, which is disgusting. Help yourself by fixing your grammar and developing your mental capacity so that AI will not render you completely useless.

From your online uncle, SmartyPants!

Abufo:
I am based in Port Harcourt...........why should I not desire the best for my business? Do you think it is profitable to run my containers from Apapa to Port Harcourt........with all the bad roads and corrupt officials all along the road.......You talk like someone who has never done international trade before!

Anyway, most of you Lagosians are so selfish ..sometimes I do wonder about you guys.......so selfish and unfeeling! Na only yoruba bodies good thing dey sweet! You guys are so cold!!

Lies. Below is what gives you sleepless nights. Just like a toddler who cannot bear to see his or her sibling get a sweet without demanding the same even if he or she just got one 5 minutes earlier.

If you wanted the best for your business (assuming you have one, which I doubt), you would ask for best-in-class facilities, not "what Lagos has."

That your standard is "what Lagos has" reveals the jealousy that is festering within your primitive mind. Your heart is like that of Cain - full of bitter covetousness.

Abufo:
we want competitive pricing of shipping services and a RORO terminal........we want all services in Lagos replicated in Onne! na wa you o! we want to reduce Igbo presence in your Lagos!

Dongallant:
Please,how do you know?

It's obvious. The sentences are stiff and robotic.

elvisdaniels:
Dangote's admission about the $23 billion refinery project being the biggest risk of his life is a testament to the immense challenges and bold vision required to transform industries. This project not only highlights his entrepreneurial courage but also has the potential to significantly reduce Africa's dependence on imported fuel, boosting economic growth and self-sufficiency. It’s a reminder that great rewards often come with great risks. A true game-changer for the continent.

As you have outsourced your mental capacity to AI this evening, what have you achieved?

Abufo:
we want competitive pricing of shipping services and a RORO terminal........we want all services in Lagos replicated in Onne! na wa you o! we want to reduce Igbo presence in your Lagos!

Your devotion to incessant complaining and endless demands is admirable, however I score you 4/10 for your lack of fresh talking points. Try again.

Believeintruth:
Dude this is not the first time we have heard in the news that shipping service is launched direct to Onne. Until the shipping numbers increase then we will know for sure.

Good one. I give you 7/10 for your effort.

Wonderful. I wonder what the complainers will say.

I refrained from commenting on the original thread because it just didn't add up.

Yugoslavia247:
If she is not first class or second class upper then it is to spite them.

The joy some people have denigrating first class because they did not put in effort to get it.

Or maybe out of goodwill.

Or maybe taking the best from the rest.

Theres no logical explanation for seeking a gradauate, let alone a first class graduate, to man the gate.

Umarnuhu1990:
I understand the concerns raised regarding the recent appointments at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Let’s address each point systematically:
1. Appointment Process and Best Practices: The necessity for transparent and merit-based hiring is paramount. The consultants in question bring specialized expertise that complements the existing team. While their appointments may not have followed traditional procedures, it’s essential to recognize that in times of significant reform, unconventional methods can be employed to address unique challenges effectively.
2. Qualifications and Necessity: The addition of these consultants, who hold advanced degrees and possess extensive international experience, aims to infuse fresh perspectives into the CBN. Their roles are not redundant but are designed to tackle specific issues that require their unique skill sets. Investing in such talent, even during economic constraints, can lead to long-term benefits that outweigh the initial costs.
3. Remuneration Concerns: The reported salaries of the consultants have raised eyebrows, especially in comparison to existing directors. However, it’s crucial to consider the global market rates for such expertise. Attracting top-tier talent often necessitates competitive compensation. Moreover, their contributions are expected to drive reforms that could significantly enhance the nation’s economic standing, potentially justifying their remuneration.
4. Comparison to Foreign Consultants: Engaging local experts with global experience, as opposed to foreign consultants, not only retains funds within the country but also ensures that the solutions are tailored to Nigeria’s unique context. While the costs are substantial, they are competitive when compared to international consultancy fees, and the cultural relevance they bring is invaluable.

In summary, while the concerns about process and remuneration are valid, it’s essential to balance them against the potential benefits these consultants bring. Their specialized skills and experiences are assets aimed at navigating the CBN through complex reforms. Transparency and clear communication about their roles and the expected outcomes can help in aligning our perceptions shaa

You are the world's biggest comedian for tagging me to this AI crap

Wallade:
Brother, let me emphasize that any organization is only allowed to engage consultant for jobs that employees and directors are not equipped or properly qualified to do.

No company management should employ consultants to do the jobs that staff are already being paid to do. That is duplication of effort, waste of resources and clear case of incompetence.

If the staff are incompetent, fire them or demote or transfer them and replace them with competent staff, directors and managers.

That's precisely what I said if you look at my point 1:

No one says Cardoso shouldn't hire consultants. But it has to be done reasonably.

1. Justify the need for them
2. Use transparent hiring practices
3. Offer fair remuneration that reflects Nigeria's status as a third world country

This is nonsense.

Never read a more infuriating pile of rubbish.

1. While she disingenuously accuses detractors of lacking balance, she herself completely lacks balance. Yes, these women may be qualified. But where were they appointed following best practices? Is that not the crux of the issue?

2. She says the women hold PhDs so in addition to the existing 400 PhD holders, another 3 more is wisdom. Can you imagine how selfish some people can be? The nation is broke, and you can justify hiring people who are clearly not needed just because they are probably your friends. This is even as, according to reports, these women outearn all the directors put together!

3 consultants earn more than 179 directors combined! How is that justifiable?

4. She says Foreign consulting firms command similar fees and would only send "white boys" to do the work. What a disgraceful attempt at sophistry. This is Nigeria where we don't have that kind of money and there are no "White boys" getting sent anywhere.

No one says Cardoso shouldn't hire consultants. But it has to be done reasonably.

1. Justify the need for them
2. Use transparent hiring practices
3. Offer fair remuneration that reflects Nigeria's status as a third-world country

That's not too much to ask!

idahme:
This is the first sane comment, its very pathetic a society where they don't even believe a gender can initiate violence is outrageous. Violence isn't gender specific, women initiate violence against children that isn't theirs, women also initiate violence against men but somehow men aren't even in the equation of things.

The last incident at Unizk, assuming it was a male student that assaulted a female lecturer, that student in addition to the expulsion will be prosecuted for aggravated assault in a court of competent jurisdiction but somehow its a woman no one is talking about prosecution to serve as deterrence to others who will want to repeat such stupid feats.

Everyone matters, the men are also vulnerable like others

Both you and he are just silly. If a man is assaulted, what stops him from reporting the case like any other?

The rationale for providing expedited and enhanced protection for women and children is the fact that statistically, men are more likely to physically abuse women, and physiologically, a women are far likelier to get seriously hurt by men rather than vice versa.

Again, if you have a woman who abuses you, you have every right to walk into a police state and seek justice too.

sam2023:
With due respect sir. Even in USA DEI office that promotes all these balance balance has been closed by trump on day one of his presidency

Diversity and inclusion has absolutely nothing to do with gender-based violence. You also should learn to think reasonably - we do what is right for us not what others are doing.

Angelfrost:
Likely?!! Like, is there any doubt whatsoever?!!

Just giving them small benefit of the doubt

Are these not shildren? Abi my eyes dey deceive me ni? When at there age, I dey dey smash book for head. At this age na kiss them dey kiss and TiKTok

Gen Z is likely to be the dumbest generation in modern history.

The highest form of idleness is for a man to sit down and begin to have opinions on how another man runs his marriage - unless the couple have come to you for advice.

This is for the boys commenting "simp" above.

franchasng:
He said nothing but the truth but watch Ronu Terrorists come here to defend what they don't know just because they want to form Patriots because their tribesman is currently in charge of Nigeria's destruction

A truth that excuses only he as the innocent one while he was a senior officer. Why are you also found supporting wrong things? Of course the Nigerian Army are guilty of a lot but let's learn not to be selfish. This fellow's actions were driven by pure selfishness. For the sake of asylum papers he is willing to say any and everything. Is that right?

EmeeNaka:
Yoruba can live as they want. Nobody is telling Yoruba how to live. We are telling Lagos state government, not Yoruba, how to be inclusive in the conduct of the affairs of government.

This is nothing but hypocrisy. Have you asked Enugu to include Igala in their curriculum? Ask Abia too to include Ibibio to be inclusive to their neighbors, many of whom dwell among them. Then we will see that you are sincere in this desire for inclusivity and not seeking, instead, to simply be a nuisance.

Coming from a non-south westerner who is also a visitor in Lagos btw!

If they can't fight crime without resorting to extra judicial killings they must be disbanded immediately.

This discrimination against Edo people must stop. Of all the women Tuface has messed with which one has the mother come out to ask them to free him?

Dtruthspeaker:
Have you never heard of a person called a lawyer before?

One honestly wonders. This is the simplest job for any lawyer but he prefers to to come here and waste his time.

D00msDay:
His just a kai kai drinking policeman. His on official duty while being harassed by a soldier who is off duty. That gives him the backing to shoot the military guy. Remember it's a crime harassing an officer in uniform and on an official duty.

Shoot him and call it self defence.

That's not how it works in reality. First, observe that the person videoing seems to be a fellow soldier. So once you shoot him, reinforcements will be called.

The reality is that if there is a higher presence of soldiers in that area before he can get to the safety of his area command, they will pick him up and deal with him terribly. And by the time his superiors get him out, nothing will happen to those soldiers.
