Investment › Re: Private School Teachers. by sonofthunder: 5:05am On Jul 21 |
Verami: As a private school teacher without pension or retirement benefits, how can one save for future purposes? What is the best savings account? The question best savings plan is a little weird. Do you teach in a good private school that pays okay? You can open a pension account yourself and maybe put in money for yourself from now against retirement. The money compounds with time but it significantly depends on your contribution. You can also approach people like Leadway, Stanbic IBTC and talk to their advisors about their different long term high yield savings and investments that they have. But ensure to ask questions and take note of conditions. |
Business › Re: Dollar Sale Dispute: Fuel Marketers Suspend Dangote Petrol Loading As FG Interve by sonofthunder: 12:24pm On Jul 20 |
Micolikes: Petroleum marketers have temporarily suspended large-scale fuel loading from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery following the company's decision to begin selling petroleum products in U.S. dollars. The move has created uncertainty in Nigeria's downstream oil sector, prompting the Federal Government to step in to monitor the situation and seek a resolution.
Although some marketers expressed concerns that fuel loading had slowed significantly, the Dangote Refinery dismissed reports that operations had stopped, insisting that product loading is continuing at its Lekki facility.
According to industry stakeholders, many marketers have adopted a wait-and-see approach as they seek clarity on the refinery's new pricing structure. They are also monitoring the arrival of imported petroleum products before making fresh purchases, fearing they could buy at current prices only for market rates to decline shortly afterward.
The National Publicity Secretary of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Chinedu Ukadike, explained that marketers are relying on existing fuel stocks purchased at previous prices while closely watching market developments. He noted that uncertainty over future crude supply and the pricing of imported petrol has made many dealers cautious about placing new orders.
With the Federal Government now involved, industry players hope a resolution will be reached soon to prevent any disruption to fuel supply or unexpected changes in pump prices.
Do you think the Federal Government's intervention will resolve the dispute quickly, or could this situation lead to another increase in fuel prices? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: MTN Nigeria Job Recruitment (14 Positions) by sonofthunder: 6:57pm On Jun 30 |
geoworldedu: 1m to 4m monthly. They are far better than Glo paying people 300k. The country of the originator is highly xenophobic, but the management of the organisation are doing very well.
As for Glo, the country of origin is friendly to foreigners but highly tribalistic and the management of the organisation are also highly wicked and corrupt.
Choose wisely. Hmmm I thought Glo will pay better for similar positions. Maybe not as much as MTN but better than the amount you put up there |

Cost per kilometer is a World standard in Road construction, used in ever single project from bidding to execution, by every single engineering company in the world.
Even the World bank specifies road cost in cost per km to allow for cost comparison.

Family › Re: Please Help! I'm Getting Tired Of My 3months Old Marriage by sonofthunder: 7:56pm On Jun 27 |
Chijeep: To cut the long story short, I did my traditional marriage 3momths ago, though I met the girl online but before we even started talking about marriage, our chat always flow with fun and togetherness.
But the moment we return back to our base after the marriage this girl started behaving like introvert and a bit celibacy. Won't want to talk to me like in the aspect of gisting and barely share issues and decisions with me. Even the aspect of food she hardly find interest in eating what I'm able to provide. I've confronted her more than 3 times and reminded her that I told you already before we go into this union that I'm not rich yet and I'm managing, and she assured me that she's also not from a rich home either and she'll be supportive. but now the girl will be acting as if I'm forcing her to eat the rubbish I provided.
I told her that she's free to quit the marriage if she's not that impressed and happy but she doesn't want to or maybe she's thinking of how people will see her.
PLEASE WHAT CAN I DO AS THIS IS AFFECTING MY EMOTIONS?, BECAUSE I'M A GUY THAT DECIDED TO LIVE AND DO MY THINGS ALONE, SO THAT I'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE MORE TIME WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WHEN THE TIME COMES. Do you have close friends that you regularly interact with? Most likely no. Fo out and build a few close friends. Does she have a job/business? Encourage and support her to start one. Yes. You need to be alone as you said but both of you should be productive to kill the boredom you are experiencing and have something exciting when you come together. |

Politics › Re: Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour & Tokunbo Wahab Clash Over Lagos Waste Disposal by sonofthunder: 7:24pm On Jun 21 |
Ofunaofu: You say people putting in the effort? What effort exactly, the effort of giving speeches, making promises, and announcing plans every now and then when they are questioned?
The problem is that you have so long mistake rhetoric for results. Governance is measured by outcomes, not by endless declarations of what is being put in place, about to be put in place, or hoped to be put in place.
If after years in office the reality on the ground is worsening environmental conditions, overflowing waste, and declining standards, then pointing to 'ongoing efforts' isn't a defence, it's an admission that the efforts are not working.
And calling critics myopic doesn't change the facts. The truly myopic position is being so dazzled by public official like Wahab talking points that you confuse activity with achievement. judge leaders by results, not by press statements and future-tense promises. So are you saying that they didn't dispose of the volume of waste they stated? Or that they have additional resources for more effective waste disposal lying dormant or what exactly? It's either you answer these questions correctly and understand my point or you remain a hypocrite. |
Politics › Re: Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour & Tokunbo Wahab Clash Over Lagos Waste Disposal by sonofthunder: 6:44pm On Jun 21 |
Ofunaofu: Typical of people in public office.
They never accept that they have failed, spectacularly and comprehensively. Instead, they resort to excuses, talking endlessly about what they claim to have done or what they intend to do.
Imagine comparing waste management in Saudi Arabia to the environmental catastrophe Lagos has become under his watch.
It's always the same script, We have put this in place, We are about to put that in place, or we hope to put that in place" and then hoping that promises and wishful thinking will somehow succeed where competence has failed. He didn't drag failure. He stated the ongoing efforts as well as commitments to improving on what is on ground. It's usually miopic folks that condemn people putting in the effort |

There is evidence from the IG of Police then that Anambra was the safest state for 5 straight years under Peter Obi. If you want to dispute that, go ahead with some data, if not, there’s no need to respond further.
Some of us are here for intellectual debates. If that’s not your thing, avoid the conversation and look for other people who are here for banter.

givedemwotowoto: You can’t prevent people from committing a crime, they also do in the U.S, but what you do after they commit crime is what matters.
Unlike today under Tinubu where criminals are walking free and committing more crimes, even showing off on TikTok, PO fought criminals.
In this case, the perpetrators of that criminal act were haunted down and brought to book:
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/161946-police-parade-suspected-killers-former-anambra-deputy-governor.html Many pepertrators of crimes are also both to book today so your point is weak. Bakassi boys were uncontrollable and kidnapping was unaccounted for under PO. Very unique problem to his state as every other states around him were significantly safer. Maybe because his state was now a poverty capital. His successor complained a lot about the poor state of security inherited. The man was a capital failure and many indigene of the state rarely travelled home during his tenure for fear of becoming a part of the unfortunate statistics |

According to him, the criminals were living in communities overseen by these traditional rulers, so the car was to help them with mobility to manage the affairs of their local communities more effectively
The result? Anambra became the safest state in Nigeria for 5 straight years (2009 - 2014) according to the then IG of Police. And your first sentence is a blatant lie |
