Good and Great move. Wike and his assembly members should go to hell.

There is absolutely no reason why former governor should boss over current governor. His mandate as executive governor expired on 29th may.

God fatherism is antithetic to democracy and must be resisted. Why should one man think himself to be bigger than the entire electorate that gave their mandate to SIm?

It defies the resources of logic and tenets of democracy to continue turn a sitting governor to a mere remote control.

If it has become a norm in South west, South South should resist such anti-democratic tactics. It's anti-democratic! Wike was never on the 2023 ballot!

This is democracy! We are not practicing monarchy and plutocracy.

Nigeria has been practicing Oligarchy and not democracy. Nigerians are incapable of practising democracy.

" there is a lack of transparency regarding oil revenues, especially the financial gains of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation from the subsidy removal, the subsidy arrears that are still being deducted, and the impact of this on Federation revenues. It is also unclear why retail petrol prices have not changed much since August, despite fluctuations in the exchange rate and global oil prices.”

please who is responsible for this?

The Minister of Petroleum- Tinubu

BennyDGreat:
1. Have a solid plan with timeline
2. Show total commitment to the plan
3. Tackle corruption brutally
4. Drive and support local innovation
5. Don't play with infrastructure development...


Nigeria can transform within 10 years if there's a commitment to a solid Economic plan.

Nigeria culture will not work with your 5 points. Unless the country deals with its cultural and structural problems, no plan can work in Nigeria.

World Bank is not our friend. They pioneered the SAP program of IBB which heralded the decline of naira.
They would rather we become import dependent than manufacture anything internally.

I Japa in 1988 due to the World Bank's useless SAP policies that were anti-growth and import-dependent. Nigeria will realise the consequence of allowing Tinubu into ASO Rock

he incorrect perception of a problem can lead to the development of poor theories to solve it. This explains why, a decade after implementing Structural Adjustment Programs (SAP) advanced by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), many African countries have still not made measurable progress.

Africa is much worse off today than it was a decade ago because African economists and the world bodies have a poor perception of the African economic problem and so designed SAP—a program which cannot stimulate growth. Why do Structural Adjustment Programs lack growth elements, and what should be done to stimulate rapid development?

World Bank's Country Director for Nigeria, Shubham Chaudhuri, should consider Nigeria CBN Governor and Nigeria Finance Minister because the country is directly implementing the IMF/World Bank policy the sam policies that destroyed the automobile industry in 1986 when Nigeria implemented SAP.

The World Bank has said that the removal of import restrictions in Nigeria will lift about 1.3 million people out of poverty.

It stated this in the December 2023 edition of its Nigeria Development Update (NDU) report.

This comes as some members of the House of Representatives recommended a ban on the import of items that can be locally produced in the country.

Also, the CBN lifted the foreign exchange proper centohibition on 43 items, including rice, fertilizer, and cement.

The World Bank has commended the move by the apex bank, describing it as pro-poor as it enhances consumer welfare.

The World Bank, however, noted that although “the removal of import restrictions may present challenges to certain sectors, these can be mitigated for some of them with a comparative advantage.”

BennyDGreat:
As long as we keep avoiding the real problem....all these temporary solutions....will lead us nowhere.

Set a 5-10 year plan to reduce import....

Set plan to create infrastructure to support local production and stability within 5-10 years in feasible sectors.

Implement FULLY

Watch how naira will appreciate. Simple.

That the only solution, but how do you transform a unproductive country into a productive society.

Chai. It's time for Africa to support its pharmacists on drug development and production. Emzor, Asad, M&B etc should expand their portfolio. It's appalling that 99% of Nigerian pharmacists work as drug dispensers-something that some illiterates learn the ropes in few years. Let's dust off those research in our universities and scale them up. I remember a Prof from ABU had developed an anti malarial called Herb 25. Such innovations must be spurred

Nigeria and Africa always get it wrong; the Indian government invested in industrial and pharmaceutical infrastructures such as vaccine factories, APIs and biomedical factories. The Nigerian government must also invest in industrial-scale infrastructure to support local pharmas

The Indian pharmaceutical industry has 5 important segments; contract research and manufacturing services (CRAMS), active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), formulations, biologics and biosimilars, and vaccines.[28][29] Various types of companies are within these segments.

This is a shocking statement. Can he name the location and generation capacity of all generators contributing to the 40,000 megawatts of electricity?


Tinubu government is proving to be worse than Buhari, I thought it would be impossible to be worst than the dullard.

The CBN lifted FOREX restrictions on 43 items, and multinationals (PZ, GSK, P&G) immediately shut down their local operations and announced that they were moving into the lucrative import business.

Nigeria gets about 40,000 megawatts of electricity from generators powered by Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, and those run by Automotive Gas Oil, also known as diesel, the Federal Government declared on Tuesday.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), Deloitte, KPMG and Ernst & Young........

You can land an entry-level Big 4 job in Nigeria.
Landing an entry-level Big 4 job in Nigeria is not as hard as people say.
You need to know the right things and have loads of preparation!

Big 4 firms in Nigeria usually recruit all year round.
Openings for audit, tax, deal advisory, IT advisory and management consulting come up frequently.
You only need to bookmark credible job sites so you know when they start calling for applications.
Why? First, it makes it easier for you to pass the entrance tests (GMAT, SHL, etc.). Second, during the interviews, if you can craft a perfect story why you’re moving out of science into business, then you’re in.
So, whether PWC, KPMG, EY, or Deloitte, your discipline isn’t so relevant.

The Big 4 firms will only let you apply if, at the time of applying, you’re not above 26.

Okay, there’s a ton of criticism hauled at the Big 4 firms over this requirement.
They have their reasons.

If you join, your colleagues will be super young.
During my onboarding,
met a 20-year old colleague.

It’s also not unheard-of to have a manager, who is only 28.
So, you might look weird if you’re 30 and your team lead is 23.
However, the Big 4 firms have started relaxing this requirement...

He can apply as a professional and not as a graduate.

He will need to professional certification to balance his academic qualification

Mccullum:
What is the full meaning of PWC please.

PRICE WATERHOUSE COOPERS

omotola90:
good afternoon,it is possible but your 2.2 might hinder you.PWC considers 2.1 at most

He has an MSc and years of work experience. Your first degree is now irrelevant.

IgOga:
Obi is a major importer into Nigeria. P&G now wants to join the importation club. P&G is struggling globally not because of Nigeria they have closed production in several countries in the last 5 years

P & G has always been an importer; the majority of these so-called FMCG products are entirely dependent on imports. It is cheaper to import into Nigeria than waste funds production when all the local supply chain is aboard.

Racoon:
No sane investor will put his hard earned money into prospects under a government filled with the manner of despicable greedy super looters criminals as obtainable today in this nation.

An intelligent investor will put his money in Nigeria; the trick is to invest in an industry that requires low foreign input, such as low-scale mining, agriculture and software engineering. The labour cost is low, and the returns are very high if the product is export-orientated.


You can employ five university graduates for as little as $10000.

Ezeeboiy:
Hello! I will go straight to the point

I am a mason (labourer) there's this engineer that hired us to work in his site outside the city where I live far away from my state of residence in the North East we spent 1 month and 5days working at the site we agreed that he will be given us daily feeding allowance but our remuneration will be paid after the completion of the project.

So after the completion of the project we calculated that I have 115k for the period I spent working . Now it has been 5days since we finished the project but yet to pay me I have families that depend on me and he now want me to go home empty handed after this long since I left my family. I have been asking him but now he doesn't even take my call. please how can I handle this issue?

The first lesson is that you should have a written contract before you start any work, and ensure that a deposit of 20 -50 % is deposited in an escrow account before you start any contract, never trust an oral contract.

I doubt he has the funds to pay you for your work, best appeal to his conscience or call the police.

A man simply identified as Harbor Kenneth Onyeisi Harbor has finally graduated after spending 12 years in the university, pjtvnews gathered.

It was gathered that, the man gained admission into National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Port Harcourt study center sometimes in 2011/2012 to study Law but could not finish his studies due to some unforeseen circumstances.

The man was seen on his signing out shirt with an inscription "Graduated After 12 Years In Open University" immediately after his last paper today.

The man took to his facebook profile to congratulates himself for successfully graduating after 12 years studying Law at National Open University of Nigeria.

Read his post below;

"Finally the CEO of Ken Harbor Ltd, Jickoh Marine & Shipping Agency, Legal Colors Quality Paint and the Executive Director Ct Foundation have graduated after 12 years from National Open University, Port Harcourt Study Centre an LLB. Congratulations to me."

Degrees are supposed to have a time limit to complete; in the UK, the time limit for completing an MBA programme is 7 years. The degree can be computed between 3 to 4 years distance learning but it must be completed within 7 years.

DeLaRue:
The so-called investors have more money than sense, hence the reason they invest in 'tech' companies that are ultimately doomed to fail.

Many of these so-called tech companies have nothing more than brightly coloured offices, a few computers/laptops and a half-baked, bound-to- fail idea that they wax lyrics around and sell to investors as a viable business.

Many of these founders have no tangible business or life experience - yet, misguided investors will give them money.

It is no surprise over 95% of them fail.

This particular company raised $2m less than a year ago, yet they're already out of business. No doubt the founders took very good care of themselves and left the naive investors licking their wounds.

Wrong, Government regulation and policies is the reason why the majority of there's tech startup are failing, lack of basic infrastructures and change in policies has impacted the logistic business

If you work hard and end up with a 3rd class, it doesn't mean you are an Olodo. 3rd Class is still an honour degree, and investing in a post-graduate degree will justify that you weren't a lazy student. Maybe you weren't ready for a graduate degree at that time.

RenaissanceGuy:
Why should Nigeria have a dedicated fleet of aircraft for the presidency in the first place? Most of the developed countries operate only one or even use their country's airway.

There is nothing wrong with the government having a presential jet if the number is under three. presidential jet, and it uses documented

FOOTSOLDIER2:
All indicators shows that Tinubu does not know anything about leadership and was never prepared to be president.

Just yesterday you wasted tax payers money to sponsor your Lagos big boys to Dubai, together with their side chicks and prostitutes.

Now today you are doing eye service about putting up aircraft for sale. Shame on you and all APC supporters

Tinubu knows a lot about leadership, the problem is that he is just too corrupt to lead.

LLSAINT:
Yet no reflection on the national economy?
Please save us this statistical drama

The reason is that Nigeria is an import-dependent country. Without FX Nigeria cannot afford to import goods and services to support the nation.

Hence, the alternative is to become a productive country without electricity, good roads and rail, skilled staff, and internal security. Local productivity is now a pipe dream with this current set of leaders.

With exemplary leadership, Nigeria can transition into a productive economy.

Yorubafather:
You lied here, desist from twisting Lagos history, Yorubas please stop disgracing yourselves over this matter and accept the truth, what the Bini king said was nothing but truth

It's not true, but even if it was, right now Lagos is part of the Yoruba domain and there is nothing you and anyone can do about it. Focus on developing your own region and leave Lagos out of your greedy interest.

God1000:
They are not doing this for the good and benefit of their people but to preserve and protect their military regimes from ECOWAS and other external forces.

Rubbish, France ruled the three countries plus Senegal, Guinea and Mauritania as the Western Sudan. Unifying their countries will enable them to deal with Arabs and Toureg. security insurgencies effectively, and pool their resources in energy, transportation and mining development.

Eko ROW!: Benin people ‘owned’ Lagos, Awori paid royalties to them—Erelu Abiola Dosunmu

A vendor to one of my client, A Lebanese, had to relocate to UK with their Nigerian Nanny. It was during one of our business discussions that he asked me how to go about getting passport for his Nanny, that the family could not afford to leave her behind. The man said he came to Port Harcourt with his wife and within a space of 9 years, they now had 3 children. His Nanny was a nursing assistant at the hospital in PH where the wife put to bed for their first child. The kind of service and dedication the nanny showed was awesome and they asked her if she would want to stay with them to take care of the new born, which she agreed. Na so the girl stayed with them for 9 years and the family wanted to move to UK. Everything worked out and the nanny left with them.

Africans and their slave mentality

HardBishop:
for the fact TINUBU denied igbos the seat if power, we can't support him in his governance.

umahi should note that the west and north has animosity agreed no ibo man will be president. so let him not disturb the igbos again

Presidency is overrated; look at the state of development in the North despite eight years of Buhari's disastrous government. Tinubu is already wrecking Western Nigeria's economy.

Get whatever development you can get from Umahi.

bassdow:
which of them is closer to his place of residence ?

If I were in his shoes, I would go for PORTER since I would be able to do other things like

1. further my education, while placing myself on permanent NightDuty.

2. doing other (odd) jobs while on Night/Off Duty.

3. running a side hustle which while on Night Duty, would have opportunity to monitor.

4. I would be able to sleep at work premises while on DayShift, and only go home on weekends, or when I like, 
thereby saving a lot of money that otherwise would have been spent on transportation.

5. I don't have to lie that I am sick whenever I want to submit CV or attend job interviews elsewhere.

6. chances are, I get to enjoy free food, and tips from customers/clients

7.... oya make una add ya OWNs

Also with the customerService job, except you are offDuty (very rare), you only have mostly Sundays to yourself. That kinda of woork, the moment you loose it, you would be useLess to ya self because all your time went into it, with nothing left to further improve yourSelf

The most important skill to have is work experience, if you apply for a job with experience in customer service you will move to the top of the list. You can study anytime and anywhere, by doing an online degree.

Jennyclay:
Another post demonising single mothers . Just look at that nonsense man shouting “100% true” repeatedly!! Mtcheww!

Biko, Let her speak for the single mothers in America

Most single mothers here in Africa, Nigeria to be precise are doing great job raising their child(ren).

Let’s understand there are many situations that make one a single mother, situations like.. widow, irresponsible father, rape, deceptive boyfriend etc

The question we should be asking ourselves is Who is the better parent?? Is it the woman that actually stepped up and took responsibility OR the foolish, deceptive and good for nothing man who abandoned his child and his responsibility??

There are good single mothers. My mother was a single mother, and she brought up three children who have been very industrious and productive in society, but the truth is that it's tough for a woman to bring up young boys on her own; this is a major problem. We have analysed why single mother are typical in black societies.

Psalmir:
I feel so sorry for her though, but the bible also told us that we should watch and pray ,I think what she should have done was to add the patient up in her personal prayers coz she must have noticed it that prayer is not welcomed in the are nor vicinity where she was working ,so she ought to have done that in her personal prayers ....this is not religious fight, either Muslim or Christian,she was seeing praying 🙏...so I see nothing bad there at all and I hope she gets a better job in another better country...she should just not loose hope and not feel depressed,she should just let this be a stepping stone for her that's all and I hope God Almighty have mercy on her and help her in all her ways

I don't feel sorry for her, she has nothing to offer but useless religion that is the cause of Nigeria's backwardness. The UK does not need your Bible.

PointB:
Who sent her? In whose name was she praying? To whom? Is that her job?

They want to corrupt another country with religion as they have done Nigeria.

Let her pray to stay in Nigeria.
