This is a great initiative.

Kids will always be kids, so if you give them the option of watching foreign content or local content, they will naturally gravitate towards the foreign ones.

So it is very important to promote local content, especially those that align with our values.
They won’t naturally gravitate towards the foreign ones, especially as kids. They will gravitate towards the one that resonates most with them. Of the many options that he has, my sons current favorite cartoon is a Nigerian one. Mainly because of the songs. Thank God there are more and more good ones that can replace the foreign ones.

cool Even from the First Paragraph I know your write up is selfish and self serving but I will try to read the remaining... you expect him to build a refinery and not have feedstock ...yet you want the price to be reasonable in Nigeria, have you bothered to check the price in other West Africa countries. Your write-up is beginning to irritate me, you are just envious, when NNPCL refuse to take the stake, is he not surviving, you should be thankful he didn't sue them and ask for billions in damages, do you know how much $100 million can affect a multinational corporation operation let alone Billion, I will try not to use derogatory remarks. Ogbeni waivers are meant to incentify , that a waiver is granted does not necessitate it will be acted upon and I don't remember any Government giving waivers to one single entity in Nigeria, it has never happened, even the exchange rate you talked about, is he the only one that benefited, why then is EFCC writing to other firms
Thank God you admitted your bias before reading the article. I have read your entire response and all I can say is you are missing the point.

Dangote is expressing utter avarice. It will be hard to argue against this. This is really sad for me and every hope I have for this nation—knowing that 220 million of us are living to just feed a few greedy people, leaders and billionaires, makes me really sad. I wonder our offense to God up in heaven, before putting us through this way. It's hard not to doubt the thoughts of selective nature Whoever puts us here.
Same thing is happening all over the world one form or the other. The elite and the ruling class taking advantage of the others. Nigeria just has a different flavor that is one of the most crass, blatant and impunistic

She is definitely not ugly. And she seems t have a beautiful personality, which is where true beauty lies.

People need to stop being so hateful and hurtful with their words. Also, celebrities need to learn self acceptance. I agree with her definition of UGLY.

Tiwa savage was on a live stream with popular Nigerian streamer Peller and she did something that shocked everyone while on the live session.

In a bid to show Peller her tattoos, Tiwa willingly exposed a significant portion of her ass to the millions of people watching.

A lot of people found this distasteful and disappointing as even Peller himself turned his face when she did this.

Full video above.
She’s looking for acceptance and validation in all the wrong places. Does she really think we care? Or is she courting controversy to stay relevant? SMH

Well, I don’t know what magic you expect to happen, when we have only one private refinery, that is more concerned about return on its foreign investments than giving Nigerians cheaper fuel.

Please explain how the price will come down and when.

I’m beginning to believe that Nigerian hospitals are death traps. Once a victim is rushed there, death is imminent.

Alcohol and the presence of women will always result in fights. Na inside house I dey drink nowadays. Make no man try use me shine because he wan impress woman. Some idiot women instigate fights in clubs so their men come to the rescue.
One of the problems is also the inability of people to give first aid. Sometimes, even the way the victims are carried and or transported, may be the cause of or may hasten death.

The fact that Tinubu intervened, yet things have only gotten worse between Wike and Fubara, points to Tinubu’s lack of character, competence, and credibility.

If he cannot resolve crisis in rivers , how will he resolve the crises in Nigeria? Sad.

kedeojo:
Do you understand English at all. He said they didn't made him politically in the sense that in the beginning of his politicking. Wike and Jonathan don't know themselves as at 1999, when Jonathan was deputy governor of bayelsea and Wike LGA in rivers state. Odili was the head of the political family that made most of the rivers politicians now. In the case of Fubara, he was a career civil servant and Wike brought him to political limelight and their is nowhere even Fubara has not recognized that even with their ongoing feud. I have watch Fubara many times saying it and I respect him for that. In Edo it happens during 2020 struggles, when Shaibu said Oshiomole didn't made in politically but he recognizes him as his father. Shaibu was already in house of assembly as majority leader when Oshiomole was still in NLC. Shaibu was the one who convinced Oshiomole to contest 2007 election. As governor Oshiomole supported Shaibu to be deputy governor.
Starting politics and being made in politics are two different things.

While Amaechi, GEJ, PEJ and Odili may not have started Wike off in politics, they were central to the growth and traction that he experienced in politics. He could hardly have gone as far without their support.

Personally i want to see him banned. US law treats celebs with kid gloves, he got community service or something for brutalising Rihanna. The rest of the world should show him that's unacceptable.
Why did Rihanna not press charges? Have you asked yourself that?

US Law treats celebs with kid gloves? How about Tyson, Weinstein, Cosby, Epstein,And more recently, Puffy? Were those kid gloves?

Chris brown has served His time. Wether you think it was enough is irrelevant.

There should be a place for forgiveness, especially when people have served time and changed their ways.

Even Rihanna does not want Him to be banned. South African Women should calm down and face the demons in their midst that are raping babies .

Pure historical fact.

Yes, Goodluck Jonathan made Nyesom Wike a minister upon nomination by ex-Gov. Rotimi Amaechi and later made him State Governor in a political fight against Amaechi but he is FUNDAMENTALLY a product of Peter Odili political factory.

He like Rotimi Amaechi, Austin Opara, Uche Secondus, Magnus Abe, Felix Obuah and host of others were the members of the then Odili Restoration Family Team.
Check you facts, there is a Widely circulated video of patience Jonathan taking Wike to Odili and handing Him over, as a son to Odili. If I remember she even joined their hands together before they lifted it up in agreement.

JASONjnr:
Infact, another agency should be created and EFCC scrapped out.

How can a commission created to fight corruption, now becomes the architect of corruption, helping corrupt politicians and rich folks to enshrine in more corruption.

In the case of Bobrisky, EFCC denying the fact that they dropped the money laundering charge against him is simply a safe-face tactic. Their best option is to investigate and ring down the officer to make Nigerians place their hopes on them.
You think it will make a difference? What we are lacking is leaders willing to do the right thing.

The state governors are less concerned about the constitutionality of EFCC and more concerned about not being probed financially.

I am not a Muslim, but I learnt from Islamic Law class, that Hajj was only obligatory on those who could afford it.

But Nigeria, as soon as they started subsidizing hajj, Christians who are not obligated to go on pilgrimage started demanding their own subsidy. That is how the issues arising from subsidizing pilgrimage went full blown.

I hope they stick with this decision and will not be blackmailed into a revision.,

They should just dump it, after all the postponements, dump it. After all the work claimed to have been done, dump it. No accountability for all the money spent, just dump it and go and invest in Dangote.

NNPC, the private company that is also regulator of another private company, in which it has a stake but is also competing with. Confusedly corrupt people

Education › Re: Struggles Of A Private School Teacher by TheGift: 6:33pm On Oct 08, 2024
Factcheck0001:
Good day everyone

I just want to pour out my mind about series of events that got me worried lately, I have a friend who happens to be a bachelor (I am married though) so on Sundays he will always invite me to his house to come and play game and have some drinks with our other friends too.

But lately I noticed something about his neighbour who happens to be a private school teacher, though I have been noticing it on a steady and I didn't know others were observing it too till something happened on Sunday and everyone voiced out.

On getting to my friends house last week Sunday, I observed that his neighbours wife and 2 children were outside, I greeted them and entered. After like 2 hours we wanted to go and watch match I realized the 4 of them are now outside with the husband, normally as per say we discuss football together so I asked if he misplaced the keys and he told me the landlord staying in d same compound locked the door cos they were oweing 5 months house rent.

I felt bad for them so me and my guys with him went to beg the landlord and the man made it clear that he has tried enough that because we came to beg he will give them the grace of 3 months to sort the bills or else he will lock it again and the only time he will open it is when they agree they are packing that very minute.

The landlord reluctantly gave us the key as witness, so we called the man in and discussed how he will make the payment, the man made it clear he's stranded, he said he collects 40k as salary and 15k for extra lesson every month and his wife collects 20k as salary but they use his wife's salary to sort the children school fees.

Many atimes I observe anytime we want to buy something from the landlady shop in front of the house, this guy comes to buy something but will always tell the woman I will sort u but since it doesn't concern me I lock up but the one of last week Sunday touched me.

I am not here to seek for funds for anyone but to implore us reading this to stretch an helping hands to private school teachers around us, those people are going through hell and they can't beg.

The man told me he stopped job hunting with the little 55k because it affect the family a lot anytime he travels for interviews

To tech savvy guys here, please which online course do u think that guy can learn that doesn't involve money because I intend to be giving him 5gig per week and we intend to get him laptop too but what online course can he be doing with ordinary android phone for now pending the time he will get a laptop?
If He is really good at His job, He should try offering private lessons around his neighbourhood or online so he doesn’t have to spend much travelling to different locations.

In the meantime he can ask for a raise or look for Work in a better paying school. Even my cleaner that only has school very , earns more than 55k.
