[quote author= post=128080162]THE CHANGE WE WANT BEGINS WITH US

Nigeria will be great again in our lifetime, whether the evil ones like it or not.
God bless all, sane, Honest and hardworking Nigerians out there.
Nigeria will favour them,


We must admonish Nigerians to have a change of mindset and not to make money our god or master.
We believe we will get to the Promised Land, and Nigeria will flourish.

Enemies of the nation, no matter what part of the country they are from will still wail to this.
They detest the truth.
Frustrated criminals and low lives, never do well in life.
Nigeria will be great in our lifetime.
God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬 and all good, honest and hardworking Nigerians 🙏[/quote]You are becoming boring, the country is gradually dying, wether you choose to be delusional or sycophantic, the figures and data are always a reality check

Bluntemperor:
But Prof Ndubuisi, couldn't tell us or offers any Solutions!
Is he Investing in Nigeria or not?
Was he amongst those in Diaspora that came to vote?

Nigerian Govt has an economic team, that is not the professors job. He only made an economic statement. It is the duty of FG to look into it and either discredit him or proffer solutions

Nitabb:
What about the irresponsible men that just pregnant those women and disappear? Can't them be held responsible too?

it takes an irresponsible woman to find an irresponsible man

Infact very very dirty

Questions you and every Nigerian should ask
1 will Dangote sell to foreign customers?
2 if yes 2hat currency?
3 would he sell to those approved local marketers in Naira?
4 if not what currencies
5 is Dangote buying oil at naira rate of dollar rate or the equivalent of dolla but pay in Naira?
6 If he pays the FG in Dollars do we think he is going to sell his products in Naira?
7 if no where does that eave us all these jubilant citizens??

It will be a swap deal same way NNPC has been trading. Therefore there will be no price reduction, unless Dangote produces excess for export that is when FG can see the much needed FX

Fashola, Micheal Otedola are from Ikorodu, Ambode is from Epe

Go and check Amobde's state of origin when he wrote jamb

Raskimonojendor:
I have never met a southwesterner not from Lagos who claims to be Omo eko. Alot of SW born in Lagos or whose parents were born in Lagos will still tell you they are from Ilesha, Abeokuta, Oro, Sagamu, Ife, Ekiti, Owo, e.t.c They are all proud of their ancestry and origin.

Liar... Almost all my friends from other parts of the southwest obtained Lagos state of origin and they all claimed Lagos.

. That's true but it's collected back in various ways..govt can't provide job..ppl just need enabling environment..power supply that is stable and affordable...good transport network ...security to move from place to place and a stable monetary system...all these support job creation without the govt being directly involved in job creation. If govt begins creation of manufacturing plants it would become cumbersome to manage and won't help in the long run..ordinary refinery they cannot manage...nigeria air way ls ruined etc

It is the responsibility of Government to figure out all these. All the citizens want is a job and a means to feed themselves. It is the function of a responsible government to make it happen. That is why you fire a manager when a team is not performing and not the players. The manager brings in the strategy and the players do their job

Blitzking:
Except in a socialist economy..we live in a capitalist economy

Nope even in a capitalist system that is why unemployed Americans get unemployment allowance, and that is so in all developed countries. Even in SA once you register as a job seeker you get benefits from the government. It is Government responsibility to provide job

Blitzking:
Of course I know govt shouldn't be involved directly in creating jobs..they should just create an enabling environment but since they av also failed in that regard...they should temporarily get involved in job creation since they av the statistics..they know what we are consuming...they know our production limits and what we are able to produce..they have the information. They should create factories scattered all over the country and employ the youths...startimg from where criminals operate and they should monitor it..cos our leaders know how to share things among themselves. Look at what happened to the 700 thousand jobs they shared among themselves months ago.

Government is responsible for job creation. Government manages our national assets, it is their duty to provide jobs

Mourinho and Wayne Rooney will soon be the most sacked coaches in the history of football . I knew Mourinho was no longer a top coach when he was crying after winning Europa conference league

He was a better coach when he was younger and most teams now have strategies for his unconventional approach

TruthsFM:
Philip Shaibu is just deceiving him, he will never be given the Pdp governorship ticket in Edo State. Shaibu is just wasting money and resources niii

Even if he is deceiving himself, bros eschew violence and violent politics. Are you stating that his campaign should be destroyed because he doesn't align with your interests?

If Biden loses this election guess who is coming in ...Trump! Trump that has already started collating names of protesters so that he can start deportation ASAP

Another shallow mind

Ofodirinwa:
Africans are clowns.

You will continue courting 'FOREIGN INVESTMENT' as if it is a good thing. You will not ask yourself what is good about it.
Ok it 'creates jobs', but the minute one kpim happens, they pack up and leave. Imagine creating useless jobs that disappear when the economy is bad. Mind you, when the economy is bad is when you need jobs. So now you have a situation where when an economic problem is supposed to be a 2, it immediately becomes a 10 because you're depending on people who are ready to run when any sign of stress appears.

Please. Let them leave, and let us stop trying to pretend that 'multinationals' are worthwhile assets to ANY economy.

Please delete this, it shows you are too shallow

NzogbuNzogbu:
Today there was a resolution passed by in UN to stop houti in the Red Sea

No veto from Russia and china to tell you all these nations are only playing lip service to Gaza and want hamas decimated in reality

Believe it or not China and Russia can never be friends. China wants to be No1 or at least No2 but they cannot get that without displacing Russia. Now you have India challenging the China economy with fibre in its body. Did you know TikTok and 10 other Chinese apps are banned in India? Infact India has started producing the iPhone and are subtly telling America that they should dump China and focus on them. There is no love anywhere

. Just like the Nigerian MD of Cadbury Nigeria closed down the business after the white man handed over. Same thing Nigerians did to PZ industries

This is a new year. Atleast make lies reduce. Startup... #300k Maybe they want to use you guys to test waters. An established coy was paying you #170k and a startup wants to pay you double for doing the same or lesser thing? The startup will definitely not last

It is normal for startups and new entrants to pay higher, because they need to attract experienced talents. Established coys trained you hence there is a tendency for you to earn lower. That is why people jump ship

"The Port Harcourt refinery will start working by December 2023, yada yada yada. "

You people should sha come and apologize to us. Starting from Baba Obasanjo that you people abused who told you the truth that it can't work

Rubbish

Did you know that since the refinery had been comatose, workers are still collecting jumbo pay and retirement benefits 😁?

Mayplays:
Its men that marry prostitutes they met at bars, went to the village to find wife they have no emotional connection with or date half naked women that usually talk about their wives in this manner, they don’t regard the women they are with

I believe the fault is from the women that do not tell the boys their place. My mum will tell me do not take the goat leg in the pot it is reserved for my darling (her husband). Back then when my sisters' will cook and there is chaos , she will just walk into the kitchen and secures her husband portion before the hyenas will devour the pot. My mum made it clear that her husband is a no go area hence, we the children know our place. She made us understand that her priority is first to husband then us the kids, and we understood that.

One day, his wife or girlfriend will ask him to choose between her and his mother😃🤣🤣
Heartless girls. Imagine struggling with ur mom and a girl who comes from nowhere trying to control what your own mother does with your money. They even go as far as stopping your mom from living with you in the same house.

Copied

Stop reasoning like a kid, your wife is above your mum in both hierarchy and priority. There is only one person that can love my mum 100% and that is my Dad. I love and respect my mom but she is not equal to my wife, because she has a husband.

This is lovely...that touch of brick is dope, in all my properties there must be a touch of bricks. Nice work and good speed. Please I have a question, in two of my buildings I do not like the railings (they are these stainless steel railings often used in banks) I do not like it any longer I am rounding up another building (in the eastern part of the country) and I want a quality railing. Do you know any market in the Southeast where I can get curved quality railings? Perhaps imported ones

femi4:
Why not
The constitution should be respected. As soon as I recovered fully, I ll come back to my post using the same constitution.

Now that he's no more, Is there anything left for him or the "inner crew" to fight for?

They are shortsighted , they lost tomorrow because of today's gain. Now, they lost everything...even the honor they deserved if they had done the needful was lost

honour and conscience are luxuries politicians cannot afford

MeGood91:
Turai hijacked Nigeria
Any woman will do the same
So it's not new

it is not the wife, we should understand politics. Look if you are in power your closest associates are your ring and they help you run the Govt. When you are very sick, these guys will not want you to step away. They will put pressure on your wife to ensure that you don't leave power because once you are no more, they took will leave power. This happens everywhere and the political class understands this. If a Governor makes you Chief of staff today and the governor becomes ill, will you agree that he should step down? When you are already seeing the future?

femi4:
It is wrong to keep holding on to power while you are weak. Directing the affairs of a state goes beyond using 'senses' alone, that's why the constitution created the post of a deputy to fill that vacuum.

Unfortunately, in this part of the world, no respect for constitution, our health and well being. Always seeking power for selfish reasons. From Yar adua's wife, now Betty....who's next

Even if you want to handover your inner ring will not agree. Imagine you are a nobody and your closest pal becomes the Governor and you are his chief of staff? Now imagine that your pally is sick and wants to handover, bros you no agree. The inner associates knows that the next person will push them away hence they pressure the wife to one corner. Look they might refuse to make any announcement that he is stepping down and cling on as much as possible. For some of Aketi's associates that is the closest they will ever get to the corridors of power.

femi4:
She was controlling his government. Didn't allow him to hand over to his deputy and concentrate on his health.

Forget love....a woman is naturally selfish. How can you pick power over his health and claimed you love him

Myhusband:
women are naturally power drunk than men



may the soul of Aketi continue to rest on



Igbo ladies have a special feelings for Yoruba guys/men, If I was polygamous in nature I could have dated many Igbo ladies while serving in Anambra state, the respect those babes have for Yoruba guys is second to none



anyway ladies generally don't have regards and reference for SIMP

Because at the later stage of Aketi's governance, she took control like in the case of Turai.

[quote author=wwwtortoise post=127641574]Good points you made.
People in an abusive/toxic relationship suffer worse fate than HBP and dementia.
Albeit, for clarity sake I’ll like to understand your standpoint on this without mincing words.
Are you a proponent of being in a relationship even when the union is detrimental to your overall wellbeing?[/quote]Definitely people in toxic relationships suffer worse fate, however, we are not comparing people in toxic relationships and lonely people. Furthermore, if we look at the distribution for people in a relationship, those in toxic relationships are at the extreme

[quote author=wwwtortoise post=127640474]Fair enough.
I quite understand that humans are social beings hence the craving for companionship and all. However, it boils down to individual peculiarities as I outlined earlier.

There’re many boredom/loneliness coping mechanisms people engage in that doesn’t involve emotionally bonding with another human. Could be with pets, booze, drugs, travel etc.

Bottom line is - better to be alone with peace of mind than be in a toxic/unhealthy union with someone else.[/quote]It is toxic to be lonely, data on health science shows that you are very much likely to suffer from dementia early also you are more susceptible to HBP and other age related memory loss. It takes great effort to achieve equilibrium when you are lonely. You can get solace in your pet or other addiction but these are not substitute for humans...talk therapy is becoming a gold mine in developed countries and recently in health care business consulting (where I have done a bit of work lately) mental health is pushing a lot of young people out of work...the number cause of a mental health challenge is loneliness

[quote author=wwwtortoise post=127637469]So who exactly set this benchmark of 45?
Please provide valid/verifiable data to back this your claim.

So you know, individual preferences differ.
Social status, belief systems, exposure, life experiences, . . . make it very difficult to generalize.[/quote]My data is from clinical psychology, I am sorry I cannot get the link at the moment, it was a Canadian article on mental health written by Jordan Peterson, you see after 45 there is a high tendency that your former colleagues and friends are either married or are in one form of relationship or another. Furthermore, at 45 our bodies begin to go through another biological phase and we tend to crave companionship. It is not about wealth or not, when I worked in Nigeria I knew very few people who were over 45, had loads of money who were not married but they used their jobs as their companion but at that point you are already close to being an executive with about 60days of holiday, paid vacations but you still see them come around the office. Loneliness at that age is depressing, you cannot shake it off with clubbing or partying unless you have addictions ( drugs , alcohol or womanizing) which are not generally acceptable characters. Even TaTa of India that has never been married said family is what he misses most and he found companionship with his dog. It is what it is
