Politics / Re: Yahaya Bello: American School, Abuja Refunds $760,000 Fees by sorepco(m): 5:00am On Apr 28
Read well. They didn't refund the full amount....read again well my friend


WizardOfNG:
This is a credit to AIS. Obvious they don't want the prestige and reputation associated with their educational institution tainted publicly with 'dirty' money.

They proactively asked for an authentic account to refund the payment Bello made and EFCC provided it. They have now refunded the full amount immediately.

Commendable.

Look at the Ideani/Onitsha road has been cut off for a month now. It is a major road that has not been fixed leading to a great economic loss to the state!
Hoe does a concerned government stay mutr while such a calamity is going on?

Moreover is it the place of a party publicity person to criticise a governorship candidate in a state? Misplaced priorities i guess....



TonyRazor:
Ozigbo is jobless, he should apply for Soludo's "one youth two skill" program

By Mazi Ejimofor Opara




Valentine Ozigbo is suffering from midlife crisis, he needs to see a therapist and not the Press.



I read his uninspiring interview with the press yesterday, and all he said were just two things. First, that he was unimpressed with Soludo's two years in office. To this I expected to read what he would have done differently in two years or why he was not impressed.

Then the next thing I read was that he would do just one term in office and, according to him, Peter Obi knows this. What a man! He probably thinks saying this confers any advantage to his spineless ambition.

This is not the quality of mind I should be engaging for any reason. Val is obviously jobless and is currently in dire need of empowerment. I would recommend he applies for Soludo's "one youth two skill program", as he is well within the age for such active engagement.


If Val is not impressed at the transformation of Okpoko and Fegge, then he has no reason to ever wish to get the support of these million of urban poor now rescued by Soludo.


If he is not impressed with the changing outlook of Awka, he has no reason to contemplate going to Agu-Awka. If he is not impressed with the massive employment of teachers and health workers, he is probably a sadist. If he is not impressed with Anambra's rising profile as a fiscally responsible State, then he should focus on his "pimping" and night club business and forget governance or public service.



Val should come up with the issues with facts and figures, I challenge him to a debate on television and would be glad to have him tell the world how deeply ignorant and aloof he is.

If u learn the business for 1 year u will be able to use 500k. If u lean it for 2 years then less than 500k. Use the remaining 1m to put in the businessafter you have mastered it!


raphemmanuel:
My good people of nairaland good morning to you all. Hope you have a wonderful night rest.

After so much pondering and fear of starting a business due to fear of the business collapsing because of our current economy crisis since early last year, I have decide to venture into phone accessories business.

The reason why I always resort to nairaland each time I want to take some certain decisions is because there are people with like-mind and are willing to give out tangible advise.

I have a budget of 1.5 million naira to start the business (shop rent and shop beautification included on the amount).

Please my good people, is it still advisable to venture into this business without regret, is the business viable?
What particular phone accessories device has much demand.

My location is Aba, Abia state. Any location or place I can buy this accessories in bulk at cheaper price.
Education / Re: “My Name Is” Or “My Names Are” Which Is Correct? by sorepco(m): 11:02am On Mar 05
MY NAME IS....




ify2016:
Introducing ourselves is something we do in our everyday life in Gatherings, Meetings, or in Classroom. We usually introduce ourselves by saying: “My name is Tochukwu”, “I am Tochukwu”, “Hello everyone, I’m Tochukwu”, “Hey guys, I am Tochukwu” or “My name’s Tochukwu”.

The duality of English language has however resulted into controversy in the appropriate manner we should introduce ourselves. While some are of the opinion that the appropriate and grammatically correct manner of introducing yourself is saying “My name is Tochukwu Anayo”, some others suggest that the appropriate way of introducing yourself is saying “My names are Tochukwu Anayo-Enechukwu” in order to show plurality of your name.

These conflicting opinion is the reason for writing this article which examines whether ‘My name is’ or ‘My names are’ is the correct form of introducing yourself.

cause to reveal his dual identity, the rare plurality will apply and the writer may introduce himself by saying: My names are Anayo Tochukwu and Charles Lee (pseudonym name).

The similarity with the two aforementioned exceptions is its resemblance of plurality and the use of the conjunction ‘and’ which we cannot normally use while introducing ourselves. Thus, these exceptions come in handy in very special circumstance and can never fall under the conventional form of introducing your name. Hence, saying “My names are” is wrong, while saying “My name is” is the correct way of introducing your name.

Gabon is not bad. It'squite a bit above median African countries.
Living standards is better than Nigeria and the purchasing power us higher.

However have you investigated to see is foreign teachers are needed? What subjects..and in the French or English language? You also have competition from French or English speaking Cameroonians.
Is housing affordable ? Do you know or have some one there?
Why don't you visit first before deciding on a move? Better go there by ship if possible as you hearam for road through Cameroon

Please I’ve been thinking about this since last year. I teach here In Nigeria. I can’t afford to go to the western or Asian countries but I think I can be able to save to move to Gabon to atleast teach.

I’ve checked their minimum wage, unemployment rate and their exchange rate snd I think it’s better off than Nigeria. Please advise me. I’m still single and in my mid 30s.

Is it worth taking a try? I know no one there.

I am willing to take the risk to go look for a job there with what I’ve saved so far. I’m projecting 500k.

Politics / Nigeria customs Investigates Deadly Crowd Crush During Sale Of Seized Bags Of Ri by sorepco(m): 5:46am On Feb 25
Why is it that most often t0han not tragedy strikes in this country when an arm of the government is organising something for the public. Is it due to lack of organisational skills or cheers carelesness on the part of government officials. How can you be auctioning such item in this hunger infested period with no adequate preparation and planning?









The Nigeria Customs Service says it is investigating reports people were trampled to death during a sale of bags of confiscated rice amid growing anger over skyrocketing prices of food in Africa’s most populous country.

“There was a chaotic situation caused by the impatience of people to follow the laid down procedures and rules that were set up for the exercise,” spokesperson for the service, Abdullahi Maiwada told CNN on Saturday. “I can neither confirm or deny any deaths but we are investigating,” he added.

Long queues have formed outside the Lagos customs office since the commencement of the sale as thousands of locals struggle to grab a bag of the 25-kilogram rice selling at a discounted price of 10,000 naira ($6.80).

Some eyewitnesses said they saw people “trampled to death” Friday.

“A man just died in my hospital, he was stamped on after falling at the custom office trying to get rice. He was on the queue with his wife when he fell down and couldn’t get up on time which resulted to people stamping on him. So sad. Survived by very young children,” said one Nigerian doctor on X.

Last week, anti-government protests broke out in parts of the West African nation as the country battles one of its worst cost-of-living crisis that has seen inflation accelerate to nearly 30% - the highest in 30 years.

The local currency has also significantly depreciated, losing over half its value to the US dollar following its second devaluation in less than a year.

More than 80 million Nigerians live on less than $2 a day, representing “the world’s second-largest poor population after India”, according to the World Bank.

The customs service said the distribution of the seized bags of rice was part of the government’s plan “to tackle the pressing issue of food insecurity.”


The cost of rice, a staple food in Nigeria, has surged in recent months. It is now priced at over N70,000 ($47.60) per 50kg bag, compared to a range of 45,000 to 50,000 naira previously.

The customs service says it has been confiscating contraband rice from smugglers following restrictions on foreign rice imports by the Nigerian government.

Analysts welcomed the rice distribution initiative but questioned its viability in tackling Nigeria’s worsening food insecurity.

“Interventions in terms of food supply look like a good idea but there should have been a policy rolled out to define how this will happen,” political analyst Sam Amadi told CNN.

“There is some distribution in Lagos now, what about other parts of the country? Is it just a Lagos intervention? Is it going to be a one-off, or a consistent sharing and does it have the potential to make some impact?” he asked, adding that “there is a lack of intelligible criteria and framework.”

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu, who has faced criticism over the spike in the prices of goods and services said he is “dedicated to evolving home-grown solutions to tackle our nation’s food security challenges head-on.”

His government came under fire last November over a budget that allocated funds for purchasing SUV vehicles for the presidency, amounting to N2.9 billion ($3.6 million), and to cover the cost of renovating the president’s residential quarters, estimated at N4 billion ($5 million) as the country grapples with mounting debts.

Tinubu said he trusts the country’s central bank to fix the issue of the plummeting local currency.

The Lagos government said Thursday it was rolling out plans to address the food crisis in the state. Its governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced the opening of special markets “across the state to sell food items at really affordable rates.”

“We aim to serve over 500,000 Lagosians with essential food items at rates that defy inflation” in addition to the construction of food hubs, Sanwo-Olu added.

There are certain goods and services the government needs to control the prices of so that they remain affordable to majority of the masses i.e. petrol, diesel, bread,cooking gas,bread,food items in times of crisis,beer etc. That is the reason for the consumer protection agency. They are there to protect consumers and the masses. I also forgot to mention cement products!

Closing down and attacking businesses will lead to even more job losses and more poverty

Government has no business setting the price of goods and services, you cannot price what you don't produce, they have been unable to get the price of Naira vs Dollar right and they want to venture into consumer goods pricing

I'm posting this as a response to the topic that made Nairaland front page yesterday; "See What Someone Bought With An Hour Minimum Wage In The UK £10", the link: https://www.nairaland.com/7929193/see-what-someone-bought-hour

UK & US ARE OVER-RATED NIGERIA IS STILL BETTER in terms of cost of living see a practical example why doing a price comparison: 1 pound to 1 naira today is N1,001 so are you saying with £10 x N1,001 = N10,001 you cannot buy everything in that basket and collect change in Nigeria today?

1 Sliced Bread = N800
2 Spaghetti = N1400
1 Gesha = N600
1 live chicken = N3,000
1 75cl soya Oil = N1,400
1 Midium size Butter = N600
2 Gino Tomato paste = N1,000

Total = N8,800 so your change is N1,200 that's if you exchange pound to naira at offical rate and buying at the most expensive stores or high brands. If you exchange at black market rate and buy at public market "days" you will collect as much as N6,000 after buying everything in that basket....that's about £6 left.

LET'S JUST THANK GOD FOR WHAT WE HAVE AND STOP LOOKING AT AND GLORIFYING ANOTHER MAN'S LAND MORE THAN OUR OWN....OUR OWN NA OUR OWN O grin
