Says someone who can't even write seven English words without resorting to pidgin. You sound like a year three boy at one of these State unis. Not so?

You should count yourself extremely lucky if you had half the education I have.

Meanwhile I asked, does Nigeria have or has Nigeria ever had a shortage of gas for production?

This is wrong on so many levels. The lady has no right to harass that woman and the store ought to be sued as their silly security would rather stand there making videos instead of protecting their customer from harassment.

Plan a fake travel or conference together with ur wife...tell them ur family have to travel....they should have sense with this scope and fly out of ur life. Ur wife has to support u on this or else it won't work...
.
2nd scope is to tell them directly that, your ability to take full responsibility of the house is becoming unbearable in this hard economy that ur earnings can not support more than 2 mouths at the moment coupled with expensive baby food, that u are resorting to borrow.......If u can do this second trips... they will respect ur manliness or boldness and won't take u for granted cos they know u wont take rubbish.

3rd scope......If the above 2 don't work,,,,,,then reduce the quality of food they cook and eat drastically...This scope is a silent scope....u dont need to explain to ur wife, just cook a fake story of how u no longer have enough cash...maybe work related or project related...make ur wife believe the fake story....
.
E.g if they use fish for stew, cut it to only egg.....reduce soup to once a week or once in two weeks....let them eat more of beans( give them garri with the beans instead of dodo+bread) cook vegetables soup without meat, instead use Shawa fish...lol....this may cause quarell with ur wife,,,don't shy away from the quarrel, infact welcome it and use the avenue to voice out on ur wife so that everyone will hear ur complain of lack of fund and have sense.....
.
Economy is hard, they are using u to chop free food..... grin...u have to be smart or die in silence grin
grin grin grin grin grin grin

@SmartyPants,

Indeed, and that's why I didn't reply him when I saw his ridiculous feedback which was bereft of historical intellectualism. Once I fully set the records straight for anyone at the first instance and s/he DOESN'T get it, that person can go kick rocks. The FACTS will always transcend any falsehoods.

I appreciate your feedback here.

Enjoy your weekend.
Cheers to the weekend!

The young dude, Victor Osimhen is an Esan-Edo by descent but was born and grew up in Lagos State and speaks Yoruba fluently.

I've known many Esan folks for decades now who speak Yoruba language fluently because they were born or grew up in Yorubaland and even intermarried with Yoruba folks like Pastor Ituah Ighodalo's father who married a Yoruba woman. But Esans are from Edo State and originally migrated from Benin based on their history that I've read. Hence Esan and Bini languages are up to 91 percent similar to one another in terms of linguistic lexicons.
I find it hilarious that people like you are replying that dude to explain that Osimhen is from Edo. Everyone knows he is from Edo but you see to certain people Edos are Yoruba.

Stop confusing yourself, you said the people and not the politicians should clamour for Anioma state.

Then, changed mouth to the people through their representatives.

Now, Ned nwoko should demonstrate to you that he has the support of the people.

I'm very sure you're yoruba
Oga take your time and read. The essence of the people clamouring is to lend credibilty to the bill. When the bill is presented to the relevant bodies, the presenter must of course demonstrate that he has such popular support. I have not made any comment indicating that the politician should clamour for it.

Any additional state for SE that isn't coming from Anioma, Adada or ikwerre/obigbo/egbema is not supported by 99% of Igbos.

Anioma people are not Igbos but Kaduna nzeogu of 1966 military coup(Igbo coup) was an Igbo man.

Una dey ment
It should be for the people from those areas to canvas for the state to be created from there through their lawmakers. Since they have not done so, what is your own sir?
Politics › Re: Nigeria Is Poor, Elected Officials Should Earn Minimum Wage – Soludo by SmartyPants(m): 11:36am On Jun 13, 2024
erniok:
He wasn't right as some areas that did not experience insecurity like parts of ebony and Anambra just hiked the prices. There was no price control to ensure it was successful. The farmers just took advantage of that and determined their own price.
You have to see the big picture.

Sellers could raise prices because there was more demand than supply - there was more demand than supply because people were reluctant to go to the farm - people were reluctant to go to the farms because of insecurity. And I mean things like fulani bandits, and others.
Politics › Re: $27bn Warri-Escravos Seaport Complex May Loose Out Due To FG Negligence by SmartyPants(m): 11:03am On Jun 13, 2024
Onovo3:
In my view, this project if actually completed will compliment Lagos, by creating another industrial hub and modern city around Warri Environs. It will help in relieving congestion and job opportunities for our people. Beside in 2014 President Jonathan in 2014, went there to commission the Gas Revolutionary and Industrial Park. Warri, Port Harcourt and Uyo are in Strategic location that makes them appealing for massive industrial project, this is supported by the abundant amount of oil and gas in their environs.

I don't think anyone has to fear that the development of these areas would mean Lagos would collapse, rather they are suppose to work in synergy with Lagos. This is why the Coastal highway initiated by President Tinubu linking these cities is a welcome development,
Can you be more specific about how the synergy would work? It sounds nice to talk about the coastal road and syngery but in reality, there is no synergy I can see here. Instead, it will be an economic rivalry, which is not bad in itself - but let's be real.

Harvest season has nothing to do with price. It was same lie PMB told us that prices would come down when we support local production which sadly, never happened.
Because of insecurity. In principle he was clearly right.

vanitybutiwanti:
wrong , Anambra does not get 20b monthly, do your research. They get 8b from FAAC in May and generates around 2b internally. People on social media throw figures around, peddle misinformation and abuse people without doing their due diligence.
Which part of my statement says Anambra gets 20bn monthly allocation? Are you normal?
Politics › Re: If We Share Anambra Monthly Revenues Nobody Will Get Up To ₦‎2,500 – Soludo by SmartyPants(m): 6:49am On Jun 13, 2024
Soludo is someone I have respected since he was the CBN governor. But he's wrong on this. Anambra receives the same allocation as Edo. If Edo can pay 70k as minimum wage, so also can Anambra. nobody asked him to give money to everyone in his state. just pay your civil servants better. This was sophistry.

Moreover, 2,500 by 8m is a mere 20 billion, which is about one-tenth of his State allocation and IGR put together. So, Soludo your math is not mathing.
Politics › Re: President Misinformed You, No Agreement On New Minimum Wage Yet – NLC by SmartyPants(m): 6:38am On Jun 13, 2024
Adblg0610:
What I think Tinubu intends to do is to decentralize the National minimum wage by transmitting an executive bill to the National Assembly.
When the bill is passed and signed, each state will have the freedom to determine what it can afford to pay .
This would naturally catch organized labour unawares but it would also end the seemingly endless agitation for a single National minimum wage.
You are starting from the premise that the NLC is led by reasonable people. It is not. If he does what you've suggested, the next thing is they will go and switch of the national grid until the bill is withdrawn.

Free Economy[it's free market] has a different definition and has nothing to do with cessation of social welfare and subsidies.

Bibi Netanyahu has proved that it exists.

Read how he successfully liberated Israel’s economy, which helped turn it into a global powerhouse of technological innovation.
Talking rubbish with confidence. What is the so-called different definition of a free market (not free economy)? Not expecting a reasonable answer because you obviously have no clue.
