Politics › Re: Local Government Autonomy Is Non-Negotiable – Doguwa by sonofthunder: 6:39am On Jun 03, 2024
muykem:
This is my point all along. Poverty, insecurity can be reduced by 50% with functional LGA. Issue that LG will solve with 1M naira in three days, it will take state one month and 10M to solve but federal government will need 100m and 3months to solve the same problem.
The problem here is the state governments. After the autonomy, people still need to elect the right chairmen and hold them accountable.

We also need the governor's influence on local government elections to be eradicated.
Romance › Re: Why Would A Lady Deliberately Be Doing This? by sonofthunder: 6:29am On Jun 01, 2024
vybzkartel:
Why would a lady be deliberately be provoking her male boss

As in only do things that will anger her male boss??

What can such a male boss do in such situations??
Assign her no duties. Make sure she has absolutely nothing to do for about a week to a month. She can do any of her normal duties but nothing more. Also avoid her and only respond to her greetings. When her brain resets start assigning duties back to her but don't resume any jokes or allow elements of familiarity even when she tries to introduce it.

You haven't put her in her place hence she has grown in boldness. And yes if you are that senior to her and have authority to do so, give her a 2 weeks unpaid suspension to reset her brain.

I mistakenly sent 20k to a wrong uba account using my opay. I contacted opay and opay claimed to have contacted the bank and claims the money can't be gotten back. Please how do I go about getting this money back. Thanks
I think these are things we need to petition the legislative arm of government for. I believe abroad it wouldn't be so difficult to retrieve because of systems in place.
Politics › Re: If I Had My Way I Would Bring Back Our Old Anthem - Tinubu (Throwback Video) by sonofthunder: 6:28pm On May 29, 2024
Sweetphronesis:
An old interview on the 62nd anniversary of Nigeria by Bola Ahmed Tinubu is going viral on twitter. He states that he preferred the old national anthem and if he had an opportunity will revert back to it.

Watch below:

Transcript:
Tinubu: We are one and one Nigeria, and we should be proud of our green.....
In fact if I had my way, I would bring back our old, first national anthem. That described us much much better. I don't know why we changed it. Its about service, it's about diversity, its about commitment to value and national building so that is my message....

Haven't read through completely but this is good news. Also the LGA elections are the very worst and only ever represents the interests of the sitting governor. This also needs to be revamped so that the people's voices/votes can be genuinely heard.

Seems the government is afraid of these people, an executive order be given and dollars be ban from the economy, all domiciliary account converted to Naira.

They should provide Naira cards that works abroad, pay directly to dollar.

Only CBN is allowed to convert the naira to dollar when naira cards are used

now i know why they refuse to give you your 100k, with comments like this, any reasonable bank teller will make sure you suffer. If i need 5 million now from my bank, withing 1hours i will get it. This includes paper work and all. So stop displaying your ignorance on a public forum and learn to respect people's views
Same old stupid rhetorics that are unrealistic. Someone that cannot withdraw 50knfrom his account lying that he can withdraw 5million.

We all know the father of those who lies...... It's more unfortunate when those lies don't bring them any gains but rather misery in most cases even.

My naira wey no reach 100k cannot be given to me then you open your mouth and spew this stupidity.

You go and withdraw 200k from your bank and tell me how many days it takes you to receive your complete money.

Your comment shows that your understanding of the problem is very low or completely non existent

If not for large numbers of stupid people we have in this country we will not be in this mess. Rational people knew Tinubu was a Calamity packaged in Catastrophe but the senseless ones said he was a master strategist angry

Cipolla's third law of stupidity states: "a stupid person is a person who cause losses to another person or a group of persons while himself deriving no gains and even possibly incurring losses"
So is your point now that he did win the election free and fare or what?

And the wise people are not intelligent enough to present themselves or explain how others can do a better job.

Wise people that have never suggested any viable solutions to one single problem. They don't even know what the problems are, they just regurgitate the same vile bitterness and hatred they've been fed.

Who replaces them after they are sacked? Are you bringing in Americans or what? It's a vicious cycle. All these militarisation of people has never worked. Military tried it in the past and failed.
It's a signal to the replacements and the expectation is to create policies that compels them to do their jobs the right way.


Nigerian masses shouldn't be punished for the inefficiency of a few people.

dollar is currently 1500

That will be impossible unless dollar comes to like 1k.
I know. You are very right. That's why nnpc needs to do a lot to improve local production so that they supply dangote with crude (currently he imports) and this could reduce cost.

Maybe they can also negotiate payment in naira self on conditions that he sells to Nigeria at a discount rate. He can export at his standard pricing model.

America has problem of illegal immigrants. Do they blame their immigration officers or sack them ? Remove the incentive for smugglers and you effortlessly solve the problem. Extra money made can be invested in electricity and other necessary infrastructures.
They have working system that despite what the smugglers do, you still see evidence of the work done. Over here, it is customs that will collaborate to smuggle rice and petrol so they can make ten times their income hence the need for sacks.

Why not go and buy your cheaper fuel for Ghana. Lazy people. So because Nigeria has fuel we should encourage smuggling.
Let the customs do their job oga. I pay taxes oh. You just throw words I doubt you understand self. Sell fuel at reasonable non-extortive price to Nigerians and curtail smuggling or sack the senior chiefs in customs.

You can just determine/decide price to a private company.. Only Dangote and market forces will determine the new prices. Just like Dangote crashed AGO
Same way market forces (cabal and looters ) determine price of dollars right. How about the market forces that kept increasing prices of stuff without any actual reasons to back up such increments?


Let's not forget the cost of cement whereby materials are gotten locally.


My major interest is for nnpc to start giving dangote crude oil to save demand for fx

No wahala, but the retail price shouldn't exceed #400 per liter....... Should be #300 self but don't want to be extreme.

48k as minimum wage is good o, i dont have a problem but politicians salary should not exceed 200k too, and their allowance should be reviewed too especially that nonsense called hardship allowance
They can pay them 2 million monthly but all allowances should be removed and what ever they earn should be made public. No politician should earn any bonus or allowance again except maybe 13th month.

They aren't exposed to any hazards in the course of their work
