Business › Re: Nigeria Suspends New Shipping Tariffs by sonnie10: 9:20pm On Mar 23
You guys don't even understand what is going on here, See, the present tariff is lower, they want to go back to the previous higher tariff. To clear 2012 camry now is #3M . They want to go back to when it was #4.5M
Politics › Re: Tajudeen Baruwa Takes Over NURTW Secretariat, Unseats MC Oluomo by sonnie10: 5:53pm On Mar 23
Dijita:
Both Baruwa and Olumo are both from Lagos axis of the NURTW. Those supporting Baruwa on NL will soon transferred their hatred from Oluomo to him. I don't see any difference between him and Oluomo. Hopefully, he can point to tangible personal achievements like Oluomo and also be able to manage his public image better than him
The difference is that MC forcefully took that position from Bomboy (RIP), an Igbo guy.
Also MC was acting like he could control all Igbos in Lagos during the last Presidential election, but he was shocked by the defeat.
Lastly, no , they are not supporting Baruwa.

The after-picture looks good.

Is this same as gypsum board? Can you share a material schedule and probably pricing for 250sqm?
You guys like wahala. Someone just shared an estimate material quote for 500sqm of plaster board ceiling and you are still asking him to write another quote for 250 sqm.
Easy now!

Why are you applying and giving them your money?
What is chasing you from your country?

Or why can’t Nigeria set up their own plan to also collect similar fees from fleeing western countries citizens?
Education › Re: Phd Holder Shares Payslip From Time As Covenant University Lecturer by sonnie10:
nairalanda1:
remember that the fees are not going just for.salaires, there's overhead costs, bills, salaries for other cadre of staff and so.forth.

That's why if you are rich, don't set up a university or polytechnic. Set up a primary or secondary school. Not too costly ( unless you want to set up something like Charterhouse in Lagos..the fees there make Oyedepo university fees look like a bargain)
Let’s go by real figures. Publicly available data shows that Covenant university has about 500 Academic staff.
At #170k a monthly, annual salary for each academic staff will be #2.04M

Therefore the total salary for all academic staff is. 500 x #2.04 which is approx #1B yearly

Now, there are about 8000 registered students ( information from public data) paying #1. 5M yearly.
Total revenue is #1.5 m x 8000 = #12B yearly.

Let’s assume they have another 500 non academic staff for a total salary of #1B

What else ? Petrol and diesel ? #1b

Only #3b in expenditures for a revenue of #12B

Oga. I know this is over simplified but these people are making a killing

Feeding and other operations cannot take up to #5b

Hello House,
This is a quote I got for a gypsum board ceiling. I see it as being weird with the amount of bags of PoP in the quote. I was expecting to see profiles and some other materials needed for Gypsum board. The person looking over the site don’t want me to have the direct contact of the person that drew this quote (Person that will do it) I feel they want to go ahead to do a PoP instead of a Gypsum ceiling being that I’m not around and I might not know what was done. Is there a way I can get a rough estimate of materials needed for Gypsum board ceiling considering the square meter (519) involved so that I can confront them with the materials that will be needed?.
I don’t understand why they need both. But my guess is that they want to do some parts with board and some with cement. . But even at that, the combined quality seems to be pretty high for your stated space.
But remember that it’s a duplex, so up and downstairs will be done . Including hallways , under stairs and balconies.

I am going to defend Oyedepo, knowing that i regard his doctrine as false Christianity. and he is a money grubbing pastor.

But let's be honest. Lecturers in public universities earn fat salaries compared to private universities because their salary is not dependant on university revenue

Oyedepo fees may seem a lot, but compare to global standards , it's scanty. Remember the guy is also building more facilities for the university, has to pay for his own water and power supply, has to pay taxes , has to pay bills , and so forth.

In fact , if Oyedepo wanted to pay lecturers the same.money they pay government university lecturers, the fees would have to go as high as ten million naira

to train a Nigeriam student at a private elite university costs ten million naira per session.. Oyedepo is charging 2 million. See the problem.

If you are rich, and you want to set up a school, please please don't set up a university. It drinks money and demands for more
The summary of what you wrote is that just one student’s fee is enough to pay a lecturer for a whole year. That sounds like a good profit margin when you consider the number of students there.

Anyone who believes this is a FOOL.

Firstly, a PhD holder is never a Lecturer 2 but a senior lecturer.

Also, even if the payslip is not doctored, only reason why he may be getting as low as this is loans and several allowances which have been deducted.

Many educated people are not financially smart and sign up for every product and opportunity which their banks and employers throw at them leaving them poor at the end of their careers.

Or perhaps his situation is so pathetic that he had to hide his Master's and PhD and take up an offer that demanded a B. Sc. just to survive.
So as smart as you claim to be, you did not see the part that outlined the salary before any deduction..
secondly, how many B.Sc holders are lecturers in universities?
Please let’s call a spade a spade. We know paid employment is hard to come by but it shouldn’t be made to look ridiculous.
Christianity Etc › Re: The Humbling Point Of A Man by sonnie10: 2:53pm On Mar 15
The message of grace is one that every Christian should appreciate. It is not by works, least any man should boast. God's mercy and grace is not earned but given freely. This is what sets Christians apart, they are redeemed and the price was fully on the cross by the blood. No matter how far you think you might have gone, or how bad the situation seems to be is, just know and believe that the grace of God through Jesus Christ is there for you.
Are you at the rock bottom or at the pinnacle of life? His grace is inexhaustible and will locate you.

Celebrities › Re: “I Can’t Cope Anymore” — Kunle Afolayan Reveals Spending ₦11 Million On Diesel by sonnie10: 8:12am On Mar 11
I don’t believe this. 11M is like #350k everyday. If diesel is #1500 per liter, it means he buys about 233 liters everyday.

What size of generator does he use? Even a 100kva generator will not consume that much in just one day.

Thanks very much for the effort. I will continue to try the number. Btw to the house, kindly indicate if you know any reliable and trustworthy person that can install Paladina on a house I’ll be most grateful. The house is in Delta State.
I am going to share the story of how I got the paladina guys contact. Like me, when you build from abroad , you will come across so many people but you will never meet them in person .
You try to minimize risk by having someone on ground to negotiate with them.
So my contact in Lagos, in fact my very close guy lives on the same street with the paladina man”s brother. The brother does tiles and he does paladina. From what I learnt, the paladina person does not live in area.
That my contact hired the tiler and the tiler introduced his brother who does paladina.

Your best bet to get hold of the paladina person would be to call that my contact in Lagos. I will give his number , if you are willing to go that far.

@sonnie10 Please is there a way you can help me get this guy’s active number? I have been trying to reach him but the number is always switched off and the number isn’t also on WhatsApp.
It’s most likely he is actively working in a remote area where he can’t keep his phone charged or connected . One of SE village mansions maybe!
I don’t have any other phone number of his. But that number was on WhatsApp when he worked for me.

Too bad for Iran
The two most powerful military attacking a nation they have use sanctions to reduce to nothing .

It’s over for the rest of the world white supremacist countries have come together to oppress the countries , they will always get what they want while the remaining of the poor oppress countries bed for mercy . Slavery part 2 is coming and many blacks will be happy to be slave again .
Is this why your supreme leader killed almost 80k of his people just for peaceful protest. Imagine what he will do with others that are not of his kind, if he had his way.
Foreign Affairs › Re: USA Confirms Losing 3 Soldiers To Iranian Missile (Pictures) by sonnie10: 9:46pm On Mar 01
What you guys all failed to understand is that people will also stay together with their own kind whether in the battle field or foreign stations. If the demographics of the soldiers at that point of attack is presented, it won't be surprising to know that they were more of other races there as well. But this unfortunate incident seems to have happened were those other soldiers were converged .

Same thing.
Not really. The difference is in how those proprietary rights would be assign when the weapons are developed. Let me use the B2 bombers as an example. they might been involved in developing it but ownership is exclusively ascribe to the US military. This is because they worked in the US. If they had worked with the US but inside Israel, they too would have part ownership of the Jet.

Health › Re: Chest Pains: Am I Having A Heart Attack? by sonnie10: 5:42pm On Mar 01
Have you checked your blood pressure?
The symptoms you describe is typical of heart burn (GERD) . Not ulcer.
How do you lay down to sleep at night? Try sleeping on your left side.
What time do you eat dinner, Try eating early and not too close to bedtime.
What type of food do you eat at night? Avoid oily/ fatty foods at night
What is your weight? Check to see if you are obsessed. Divide your weight by your height.
Add some simple exercise to your daily routine.

Check to see is your doctor could recommend some antacid.

Those murderous Iran leaders can do anything to turn attention. A regime that recently killed thousands of its people who were peaceful protesters, can target this school to elicit sympathy from the world. If this report is even true, at the end of the day, don't be surprised that they did it.
