jamace: Mercenaries are business men. So why do you think they will work to end the war?
Some people want to drain Nigeria.
Executive Outcomes drove out the RUF rebels from Freetown in 2 weeks. The key is to offer them milestone-oriented payments. You achieve this, you get this.
The former South African Defence Forces and the Israelis are very good at this. If they are brought in, Boko Haram will cease to exist in a month.
PaulSimon2020: Nigeria is only sweet if you have money. Please, if you don't have money and have opportunity to leave Nigeria, run don't walk. I only come to Nigeria cos of it's lawlessness, with a few thousands of dollars in my pocket, I can do anything I want
So you still have a reason to come back to Naija. See?
internationalman: Some people who have suffered enough in this country wouldn't mind staying away from Nigeria for a lifetime..
You are just yaning opata like this because you even had the privilege to travel out in the first place.
I'm sure your view would be different if there wasn't any possibility of you ever traveling out of Nigeria
My friend, you are wrong. I currently spend 2/3rds of every year in my residence outside Nigeria. You can never know the feeling of being homesick until you are there. No day passes without me following Naija news. My bros that spent 3 years outside Naija without eating eba ate like 2 plates the day he returned.
Once it is time for me to come back to Naija, I bubble with excitement. No place like home o, especially if you were born and grew up here.
kerzhim: VAR intentionally rubbish Chelsea efforts at goal against ManU last time. They knew the moment Chelsea could pull one back ManU was going to be overwhelmed,so they had to scrutinize every attempt. Take a look at maguire foul against BAT....if ManU could see red at that time, I swear they don die.
1. Siemens is not going to come in and charge bills below the production price , so bills go up. Siemens is also not coming to invest in Nigeria sans profit.
2. Discos will expect to be compensated for being forced out of the business for Siemens.
3. Expect higher bills, but improvement in power supply
Siemens gave Egypt 15,000 MW in 3 years. In Ghana, cost of electricity is nearly 4 times what we pay here, but it is steady and constant so you can plan, do your business and do stuff.
This is a major be that should have been done years back. But prepare for strike actions from the NUEE.
Sorry OP, but your husband needs to be properly oriented. The man brings the chromosome that determines the baby's sex. If he brings X, it is female. He brings Y, it will be a male. So what is his issue?
BeeBeeOoh: You talk as if you are a new comer in this country called Nigeria.
A DPO in Imo state was filmed few weeks ago fighting a tryclist. It happened in Nigeria.
A DPO once beat up a female traffic warden for stopping him. It happened in Nigeria.
An elderly woman was once flogged by a DPO in Edo state. It happened in Nigeria.
We have so many of these kind of events here in Nigeria. So, if i hear that an army general pulled a gun at FRSC personel i won't even doubt it at all because, We're In Nigeria, A LAWLESS COUNTRY
I once witnessed atura police wrestling a rifle from a mopol. Gbam. Gun went off and wasted the mopol right there. Na so atura collect im rifle with bullets and casings and fled the scene. People were just running helter skelter for dear life.
TEF has changed the model of receiving the award. Now you have to undergo a 6-week training (no longer 12 weeks), prepare a business plan and also pitch your idea to a panel sometime in July. Only when you pass these three stages can you get the award.
There are different business categories, so the Innovators Category is one. Others are Agribusiness, ICT, Education & Training, etc.
BTW, I write business plans for entrepreneurs. Send me a DM if you are interested.
YorubaKinging: Hello.. I'm just here to remind you that something bad is going to happen in this country very soon And it's going to lead to a all out war .plan ahead for this very bad time
Yeah I know you'll curse me that it's only me and my family that will see war But no, it's all of us
God will silence you and all evil voices in this land.
Axis313: Foday Sankoh-Revolutionary United Front(RUF) of Sierra Leone. Jonas Savimbi-United Nationalists for Total Independence of Angola. Chai! I don old o,I remembered during my secondary school days,whenever I tuned in to BBC Focus on Africa, it sure bet they will carry news pertaining to civil wars in Africa, from Sierra Leone, Liberia, Angola, Mozambique, DR Congo to Central African Republic,no cheerful news at all, na only tales of blood. Thank God,things are getting better now,at least we are moving away from news of war to proper governance, though we are not there yet,but we are making progress.
The first picture is actually that of Jonas Savimbi, who taught himself how to speak up to 7 languages.
Where are the teargassing police when you need them?
They did not march to Ganduje's house. They did not march to Diezani's house or even Abacha's house. Do they expect her to sit quietly and a man with 5 identities will come in as deputy governor?
This dog is not a pure Caucasian. Many breeders are just unscrupulous people. Don't they know that mixed breeding alters the natural temperament of the Caucasian? I don't know how dog breeding is not regulated in this country.
Lostz: the consulate is meant to provide help for all Nigerians in foreign country. they are there to assist those Nigerians who have problem with their papers not to live expensive lifestyle.
they are there to negotiate with their host country when Nigerians abroad run into trouble to see if there is a way out
Assist them in what sense? Can you explain what you mean by "assist those Nigerians who have problem with their papers"? What kind of assistance? The only assistance is you should go home, regularize your papers and come back legally. What other assistance are you talking about?
I was in a foreign country recently and was given a ride by a Nigerian guy I know. Only for police to stop us and lo and behold, he was driving with an expired license. I kept asking myself why I did not use public transportation instead of enduring the embarrassment we were subjected to.
Many of our guys think they can get away with the things they do here abroad. Iro ni! Not possible.
Some of these people entered those countries illegally and now want help from the consulate. Of course the consulate must cooperate with the local authorities in such cases. If not, innocent travelers with genuine papers will be affected when sweeping laws are passed to prevent all immigration to those countries.
ManyThanks: Hi boss! Happy Sunday. Am sorry for asking but please, i need your advise on Ghana. from your experience what can one bring to Ghana and sell for quick profits? from simple electronics, phone accessories, clothes, etc. please share with me from your experience. Thanks in advance
Things are more expensive in Ghana than in Nigeria. So all the above you mentioned will sell.
Udyawanga: Treasury bill has helped many especially those who started earlier. I saw from this post when an offer base on 23 rate was given. Bring it back today, is a mighty falling. But at 4% rate is still better than leaving ur money in fallow in d bank. Is like when this treasury bill will reach peak will be during presidential election again. Very long year to wait.
I cannot imagine leaving money in an investment that pays me 4% for a whole year. Unless the capital is in 9 digits.
Too many ignorant folks. My spouse was affected as well. I prefer her to be delayed and arrive safely after a few days. There has been an extreme harmattan haze over Southern Nigeria. No flights flew to PH today. Even planes that were supposed to land in Lagos had to be diverted to Abuja.
When visibility over an airport is near zero, do you expect the government to do magic? DOn't flights get cancelled when volcanic mountains in Iceland and other places in Europe start spewing ash into the atmosphere? Must we criticize the government and our country at every turn?
