Politics › Re: FG Defends Passport Price Hike To ₦100,000, ₦200,000 by sonofthunder: 8:12am On Aug 29, 2025

PAWG:
You can save towards it. This government is fueling inflation I hope they wake up one day. Our international passport shouldn’t cost this much

You are getting it wrong. A citizen should not be saving towards an international passport. You save towards, a car, land, home ownership.

Things like passport and other documentation like birth certificate, your license etc should be thoughtless decisions that you don't save towards.

That's just the truth.

There was a thread yesterday that compared the minimum wages of different countries to their passport fee, of all the countries I went through, the percentage was less than 20% of minimum wage but Nigeria was over 140% of the the minimum wage.

Anybody earning 100k or less cannot own a passport unless someone assists them or they have little to no financial obligations in terms of rent, feeding and transportation to work.

Workers earning minimum wage don't deserve a passport.

All our senators and house of representative members don't care because it doesn't affect them. After all we never hold them accountable for anything.

The primary thinking behind this is that if you are applying for passport, it means you have money and you want to Japa.

A very poor mentality.

Malema argued that Africa, with its 54 sovereign states, vast mineral wealth, and human capital, has the potential to become an economic powerhouse if united.

People that cannot lead local government area want to lead the whole of Africa?

Junior66:
It represents both principal and interest paid to service our national debt.

So why were most of the posts above me sounding like these were the amounts each government has so far borrowed?

I started losing an understanding of the word "servicing".

A song we used to sing in Nursery School in those days goes like: Tinubu is for Lagos state as Wike is for Rivers state, George Akume is for Benue state as Abdullahi Adamu is for Nasarawa state, until those names stop to exist, those states can not develop. I write for mature mind not for little kids

This will remain your shallow assertion until you replace those names with newer and more modern political thieves who will do worse than them. This mentality will never end corruption.

Someone explain to those of us that are laymen what this means.

Is this the debt they accrued or the debt they have paid of out of our total debt?

Literature › Re: Reflection On My Amazon KDP Journey And Ban by sonofthunder: 8:57pm On Aug 24, 2025

franchasng:
you cannot get sales with those type of books or topics.

If you want to make sales on kdp, think like the readers.

The readers are mostly from US, Europe, UK, Asia, etc, so ask yourself what topic readers from these aforementioned countries would love to read about?

It must be something relevant and unique to those audience, if not you will struggle to make a sale.

Also blogging will help you if you start blogging about your topics and adding links of your kdp books in your blog posts to refer people back to your books. It worked for me back then.

There are many other methods to increase your sales

Do you teach / guide someone to start blogging?

Technology Market › Re: What Do I Do With These DI Printing Machines From The US? Advise Needed by sonofthunder: 2:37pm On Aug 22, 2025

foodlum:
They were bought with the hope they can be used for setting up a business related to printing in Nigeria.

Then meet an expert/consultant to guide you on how to set up instead of acting like you don't know why you bought them.

And if you are having cold feets, you can set them up for sale at a reasonable profit for you.

Technology Market › Re: What Do I Do With These DI Printing Machines From The US? Advise Needed by sonofthunder: 5:36am On Aug 22, 2025

foodlum:
I just sent 11 big printers from the US to Nigeria. They are 5 year old machines, rarely used by the government agency I bought them from in the US.

This is the list of machines and their model numbers:

7 units Sharp MX 6071 printers
1 unit Ricoh MP C4503 printer
2 units Sharp MX-6240N DI printers
1 unit Sharp MX-8090N DI printer

-Does anyone know anything about these machines?
-What business can be done with them?

Then why did you buy them and why are you sending them to Nigeria. You confuse me even more than you confuse yourself.

Travel › Re: Why Are Lagos Metro Trains So Clean? (Video) by sonofthunder: 6:48pm On Aug 18, 2025

Quintessence44:
I've been inside metro trains all over the world.

But Lagos city metro trains are a different class.

Extremely clean inside.

Back when they were still building this project, many predicted that the whole thing would be ruined by dirty Lagosians packing their market wares and all this funny stuff into the train.

Some said people would even carry their goats and hens that they're selling into the trains etc.

But the network has been up for some years now, and expanding with new lines, yet, with no sign of such deterioration.

In fact the opposite is the case.

In cleanliness, Lagos trains and train stations surpass what you'll see in London, New York and all these places.

I think we underestimate ourselves too much in this country.

This your question, should we be praying for them to be dirty?

This newspaper should not use desire for news to put these people in trouble, rather let them apply pressure on the security agencies to finish their work.

Profit is so much more important in capitalism.
