topsy23: We need to get whistle blower around our site . This is an estate with no access to outsiders except people working in that estate . Government can't do everything for us now. We to be vigilant especially people leaving in that area. Those guys doesn't know the worth or values of those cables. Some of them are just wicked soul.
Cables and pumping machine were stolen. The people that stole these stuffs are those that have access to the project building, do not look further. Is there a project manager on site? |

A competent Forex trader does not need crowd funding.
A competent Cryptocurrency trader also doesn't need crowd funding.
If you are so good at what you do, then you should be able to build on whatever cash you have either from friends and family or from your own savings gotten through other legitimate sources of income.
Lastly, the judge spoke out of ignorance by tagging Forex and Cryptocurrency as ponzi schemes.
If someone defrauds you by claiming to be an oil marketer or a real estate company, do we then call Oil and Real Estate businesses ponzi schemes?
As long as Forex trading (Banks are into it) and Cryptocurrency (Big institutions are into it) aren't illegal in Nigeria, its wrong for a learned judge to regard them as ponzi schemes. |

subsidywise18: Lecturers were earning between 900 to 5000 naira in 1993. For example.
What people are doing on this thread is comparing/subtracting the 1991 cost of cement with their earnings now.
Back in 1993 one dollar was 22 naira. Which is a very weak comparison. Imagine buying 5 bags of cement monthly from your ₦900 salary as a lecturer then. Just cement would have gulped ₦440 from your ₦900 and what can 5 cements do in a building project. Now how much is the least salary lecturer gets paid compared to the price of 5 bags of cement?

Why are we just too rigid and stubborn? If something is not working, a sensible set of people is expected to try other methods. Can't we think purposely?

Unfair comparison.

EgunMogaji2: I’m with you Sir.
Maybe be it’s an exposure thing but I’m actually concerned about the fact that I have to explain this to people on here.
Preference is one tying but steadfastly sticking to the idea that shared fence/wall structure is disturbing. The former contractor wanted it attached to the wall, same with my PM but I insisted. So what you're saying sir is well understood. But to each his or her own. There was a time I even thought of removing the SH all together... |

EgunMogaji2: You should reconsider this.
You want a layer of security between the security guard and the outside, you also want another layer of security, canines, to be able to patrol the perimeter.
Anyways I yield to everyone to do what they feel is best for them. I just want to know about if there's a setback rule. My security house is not attached to the fence either for security reason(s). |

Go out and look for a military man that is known to have a good reputation around, explain the situation to him and ask that he helps you with mentoring.
Then look for a religious leader that is also of good reputation within the environment, do the same thing.
What they lack is a male energy while growing up, so they went out to get unrefined ones in the streets.
Act fast and now before they either kill you or bring shame to your lineage. |
