Nothing wrong with his comments


We all have our different ways we react to grief. Akwa Ibom state is one of the truly christian states with almost 100% Christian population in Nigeria and in a sad event like this, it isn't out of place for an official of the state to give a faith based reassurance to its citizenry

America is a successful democracy yet Presidents still say God bless America


Atheists like to use events like these to support their beliefs, I personally think they have a point, but on the flip side, I have seen so much more miracles than tragedies as well which supports my faith. ....

In the end the evidence to believe in God greatly supersedes the reasons for doubt and the thirst for more knowledge has only but humbled great thinkers on the infinite reasons to know there is a God

A 'Christian state' where innocent children are branded 'witches' and hunted down and tortured.

But you will pay for fuel, Insurance, Uber 25% fee and also pay back the car loan... all out of this 300k over a period of 30month.
there are also times you don't make up to 300k... and as a businessman don't forget the ±5% on investment due to risk, damages and unforeseen circumstances.. before you know it, you have become a slave of the moment and struggling to make up with life and also after the 30month you realize you can actually do better stuff with your life.

do you realize you are the ignorant one?

This 300k figure I quote is PROFIT, ignorant one. After Uber's cut, fuel etc.
My friend's Uber car makes him 200k a month in profit...if he was driving it himself, he can make 300k after deductions.

There will be times when one will make below 300k, and times when one makes ABOVE that figure. There will be issues, mechanic expenses etc, but those are still issues most people face.

Even if one were to say 'only' 200k monthly to cater for unexpected issues, that's still MUCH higher than the starting salary of the vast majority of employed Nigerian graduates.

hollowpot15684:
before you know it, you have become a slave of the moment and struggling to make up with life and also after the 30month you realize you can actually do better stuff with your life.

After the 30 months, you wholly own the car and can comfortably continue to use it to make money. Or hire a driver and let him make money for you while you face other things.

'better things' like what? Teaching, marketing jobs? MMM?

Ignorant fellow

Question :did the rams survive? If not, it's a wasted effort.

A snake that size would have constricted those lambs before swallowing. Of course they're dead, with many broken/crushed bones and complete suffocation.

Rubbish to say that "the government alone cannot cater for IDPs"

Any government that can cater for pilgrims and incessant foreign trips should be able to afford to feed , clothe, protect and house IDPs.

Mopolchi:
So Lagos want her graduates to end up as graduate drivers

You are a truly ignorant person.

This is a truly excellent deal, and participants can make 300k+ per month if they work hard. That's more than any bank pays their new joiners.

This provincial, 'bush' mentality of looking down on some occupations is really silly.

Is this not a conflict of interest for these judges to accept the cars from the Rivers State government?

The judges get paid salaries, why do they need this 'administrative' aid any more than the thousands of Rivers workers that do their jobs quietly?

People living in far far Ajah, spending 3 hours in traffic everyday.

Better to move to Yaba.

ntebong:
Please, stop this national embarrassment , firstly the man was paid for designing the flag, besides GEJ gave him salary for life and above all he has grown up children let them take care of their aged father rather than presenting him as a beggar.
Some times ago good spirited Nigeria play who want to be a millionaire and won million for him . What else are they still looking for?
It is God given responsibilities for children to take care of their aged parent rather than always presenting him as a beggar full stop

It's so upsetting that people still keep coming up to try to guilt-trip Nigerians about this man.

This nation owes him nothing more. He was PAID for his design. All this talk about designating him a national hero and making the nation responsible for his upkeep is just plain foolish.

Let his Children and relations stop this shameful attempts to blackmail Nigerians into filling their coffers. Nonsense.

The minister said the new app to be launched before the end of the month would bridge the gap by using the social media to “tell the world what the government is doing’’

Why the hell do you clowns in power want to develop an app to use social media to tell people what the government is doing?

Why not use social media directly?

Oh, I know. You want to kill two birds with one stone.
1) Award an over-inflated contract for a Buhari app and
2) List the shitty app as one of the 'achievements' of this failing Government.


What a disgrace!

TappGroupNG:
Tecno phantom 6 has the update function o.

There may be a button to check for OTA updates. That is absolutely ZERO guarantee you'll ever see Android 7.0 on this device.

If not for the legions of paid marketers here on Nairaland, why would this even be a topic?

Same deal Chivita made with United. You approach City, give them a boatload of money and a phone the guy will dump in the bin soon enough and you get to take a picture for endorsement. In return, all City has to do is to assign a random marketing guy to take a photo and also hand over a 50 pound jersey with 5 pound name customization.

City will sign this same deal with a Chin Chin maker if you can afford a couple of hundred thousands pounds.

Fans hailing this move are funny...they should spend that time asking Tecno to ensure they provide updates for their phones. When you buy the Phantom 6, it ships with Android 6.0. You are NOT guaranteed an update to 7.0 (highly unlikely to happen).

DIKEnaWAR:
So a Vice President now visit a state for Senatorial elections rerun? These people are very unserious with governance and serious and desperate with winning elections by all means.


Osinbajo the cleaner, he is the one Buhari is sending to face the wrath of the peopl.

You didn't see Obama stumping for democratic senate candidates in the last US elections?

TappGroupNG:
I was sent the phantom 6 phone to experience and I wanted to know what the hype around the phone was for. I can tell you that I was blown away and even began 'preaching' about the phone to friends and family. I will highlight a list of the things I have experienced:

1). TYPE C CHARGER: I wish this charger came with all phones because I was so impressed with this charger; first of all it is multi-dimensional (has detachable two and three-ports so you phone can fit in any socket). This charger also charges very fast. This will bring me to my second experience with the phone

2). BATTERY: The battery lasts! I did not have steady power the week I got the phone so when power came on I was able to charge the phone for 30 minutes. You would not believe that the battery lasted steady for five days! I was wondering what kind of jazz they used on the phone to make it that way.

3). CAMERA: This phone's camera quality is the best I've ever seen( I am not lying). The camera was so sharp. I will post pictures I took with the phone at the end of this post. I tried taking pictures from miles away and even from a close angle and the camera captured it accurately.

4). APPS: When I heard that they packed 10 processors on this phone I was wondering how they could do it. But then I used the phone and I really understood why it was so powerful!You can leave so many apps running on the device and it's work perfectly. The phone has a very
wide range of apps that can be downloaded from the play store especially video-related apps and it'll work without hassles.

5). SLIM DESIGN: I got the gold-colored phone and it was so slim. When I first got it I was skeptical at whether it will perform all the things I heard that the phone could do but I can tell you it did that and so much more. All you have been hearing about the tecno phantom 6 is not a lie at all. The phone is slim and packs 10 processors; and has everything you need in a phone and much more.

6). SOFTWARE UPDATE FUNCTION: A lot of people used to complain that tecno phones do not give the function of updating their IOS to something higher so they want to root but this time the tecno engineers took note of that and made that option available.

All I can say is that I was impressed so far with the phone; all my family members and friends that saw me with the phone want to buy it because they've seen the quality. Well done tecno for this amazing device.

All these paid marketers Tecno keeps churning out to 'review' their phones...is this how they plan to dominate the region?

Even more disgusting are the obvious, childish lies...including using the phone for 5 days on a single charge.

I only wish Tecno paid people who know the first thing about gadgets. Why will anyone take the word of someone who mistakes Android for iOS and thinks there are 10 processors in the phone?

hero2000:
Nairaland and some unreasonable people! Who are those liking this silly post!

Didn't you read that the stone claim was false. Nigeria's future may be at risk with the proliferation of unreasonable persons.

Yes, everyone knows FRSC officials never tell lies.

/s

Seenyo:
Spots on! TECNO- giving hope to the hopeless since adam! Making life good/cosy across stratas!

Missmossy:
Lets see how it goes. TECNO making life better for the common man

Paid marketers?

This is what passes as a Professor in Nigeria.

We're finished in this country unless things change drastically.

kenex4ever:
what do u mean by that?

Are u trying to say dat traders cannot build those houses or that the owners are not traders?

U probably havent been to onitsha if not u would have seen the kind of turn over those guys make.

I'm saying the OP does not know the bulk of the owners of these houses to know their source of income, so why swallow the explanation that the owners are traders?

kenex4ever:
I also understand that u feel it's drug money or whatever u think, but i can assure u that not everybody in onitsha does drug or anything illegal. Most of d traders are people of integrity but the bad ones spoil their name.

I have NEVER accused the people of Onitsha of being drug dealers. I have no idea how you extrapolated this nonsense from the few words I posted. I am not - and have never been - part of this disgusting ethnic beef on Nairaland. Stop putting words in my mouth. Thanks.

kenex4ever:
but he said they are traders that mainly started as apprentice

And you believe him?

Unnecessary hyperbole from the OP...these generic building designs can be found all over Nigeria. Nothing spectacular.

More importantly, it is worrying how low the Internally Generated Revenue from Anambra state remains when there's so much wealth in the state. Something must be done to ensure these people pay the proper tax and tax collection drives are much more rigorous.

obstead200:
U need to pay more attention in lexis and structure classes my dear.
Did u not see the word "unless"?
I stated two different alternative scenarios that would be acceptable.
Then I stated the scenario which is not acceptable.

I suggest you go back and re-read your original comment and my response to it. My comments are focused on your second scenario. Pray, tell us how the outcome of a detailed investigation can be challenged as 'hearsay'.

Surely, even one such as yourself can comprehend something this simple?

the engineering department of a tertiary institution is making dustbins and it's being hailed as a 'bold step'?

Disgraceful.

obstead200:
Unless these lecturers were sacked for other reasons. Unless they were caught red handed and the evidence against them is very strong. Other than that, If they were sacked as an outcome of an investigation started because of a newspaper report, then all I can see here is the beginning of a very long, brutal and messy court case which the lecturers are bound to win.
U don't wake up and sack a federal civil servant so easily, based on hear say and rumours.

You seem confused.

On one hand, you say they may have been sacked following INVESTIGATIONS. Then in the next sentence you wonder if they were sacked 'based on hearsay and rumors'.

Make up your mind. If you admit there was an investigation, why babble on about 'hearsay'?

If the reason behind the hike was to 'protect' scum like Smile and Spectranet, the NCC must be the biggest fools ever.

As far as I'm concerned , both Smile and Spectranet should be shut down and their headquarters razed to the ground and the site strewn with brimstone and salt so nothing ever grows there again.

Nonsense.

DeHEIGHTS:
I hate people with warped reasoning.

You should rather blame God that said it the Bible:

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Proverbs 18:21 KJV

Or are you that dumb that you didn't know God said so?

Yes. Death and life because one can sin with the tongue and go to hell. Or speak good things and go to heaven.

Not that someone will make a casual statement and it will lead to the deaths of many people in the plane. Fathers, mothers, children, brothers...

So YOU are the one dumbly misinterpreting the Bible. Or perhaps that honor belongs to your Pastor?

And it's ok, laddie. I hate you too.

DeHEIGHTS:
That's the power of the tongue.

So, use your tongue creatively wisely!

So the 'power of his tongue' caused the crash and killed over 20 people?

It's not you I blame. It's the Pastor that taught you this rubbish I blame.

somehowpenis:
I got a $725 gaming PC from India, days back for anyone interested, I can help get for you too.. I own a PS4 myself but this right here is a beast.. the video card is a GeForce gtx 950, 32gb of DDR4 ram, 1 terabyte SSD hard disk, core i5 4440 , 4.1ghz speed.. I got other external parts separately..

You'd have been much better served buying a smaller SSD and cutting the RAM to 16GB, then using the savings to buy a decent GPU. A Geforce 950 is decidedly low-midrange at best.

Invest $230 in a GTX 1060.

odogwu190:
na una house the come rob ni,pple will just open mouth n start saying rubbish!!!

Why is this one rantIng like someone that is suffering from family curse?

By the time that post was made, the story making the rounds was that they were armed robbers.

This should be obvious even to one as intellectually stunted as yourself.

AKBliv010:
How much cheaper? I don't disagree it may be less due to the higher taxes paid in UK but what about items going on sale here bringing it lower than buying from US.

All I'm saying is don't rule out UK. For instance PS4 pro UK MSRP £350, US MSRP $400. As per ABOKIFX difference is N11k. For someone who has N200k for gaming console that pesin no dey roast...11K won't break the bank.

A Parvum M-ATX pc case cost $199.99 but £140 in UK, as per abokifx it's N14k less to buy from UK.

You make a good point about the differences not being that much, but that usually applies when one buys things as relatively cheap as the PS4 Pro. And when the manufacturer takes the step to ensure the UK price differential is minimal. Order something like the GTX 1070 or 1080 or a HTC Vive and you'll feel the bite harder.

From my experience, the sales/deals in the US are often much better than that in GB and the EU, and I say this as someone who knows his way around HotUKDeals.

Not ruling out the UK sha. Convenience and ease of transportation down are sometimes the most important factors to consider.

If you believe the youths set the truck on fire when it still had fully filled crates of Coke in it, you'll believe anything.

Silkmoth:
Better in what sense?

No come dey feed us bobo based on ur grandmama intuition!


What's dis one saying?

I bet u d prices in dollars are a farcry from anything that seems different with the pound sterling tag.

I'm not sure why you're arguing this matter. For a Nigerian gamer, it's far cheaper to buy gaming hardware from the US than the UK.

Things are even getting worse for folks buying from the UK due to Brexit.

NgcoboP:
go to court.

by the way Buhari should return our economy to how he met it.

compared with obj the economy is booming at present... so he's got no excuse for non performance... we sold oil @ 9 dollars per barrel before...so no story...

When we sold oil at $9 per barrel, what was the average cost to produce one barrel of oil?

This your 'market woman' level of discussion is shameful for a University graduate.

ndcide:
By the time they retaliate some persons will be speaking grammar.

So the Government should just lie down and let criminals have their way?

This is what Jona did when he handed over 11 LGAs to Boko Haram to form their own Caliphate.

Buhari is a different sort entirely.
