TV/Movies › Re: Worst Nollywood Plot Tropes We're Tired Of Seeing by themanderon: 10:39pm On Oct 28
I can't imagine myself sitting down to watch Nigerian films. Even the American films I watch I select them. It has to be an action packed thriller before I can consider it. No time to waste.

Where did you get this oluwole resultshuh From what I was watching he is leading even though it's obvious there will be no majority and a coalition government will have to be formed. These terrorists and peddling of fake news.
Has anyone noticed that these terrorists supporters are usually the same people supporting apc's murderous policies in Nigeria?

Crime › Re: Late Mmesoma Umeorini: A Lesson For Young Nigerian Women by themanderon: 1:55pm On Oct 25
Even the Bible said owe no man nothing. She probably thought she was wise but her wisdom ended her. Some people may just forget what they have spent on you and others will say if they can't get you, then nobody will.
We are living in evil times. If you know in your heart you do NOT love a man, then don't collect anything from him to avoid situations like this especially if you know the man was dreaming about a future with you but I know our girls will never learn. Some are destined to be lessons for others.
As for the young man, Otilo.

You better flee from such a liability for your future sanity. The moment you aren't able to provide then you are history. She is just tagging along because you are an ever ready atm.

Islam › Re: Muslims Block Yenagoa Road To Pray (Video) by themanderon: 7:33pm On Oct 24
This is not a mistake. It's a sign of dominance. This is what will always happen whenever they want to pray and there will be violence if you try to stop them.
That was how the other one was knocked off the road in Australia in the name o praying.

Politics › Re: Nigerian Lecturer Destroys Tinubu's Poster In Lagos (Video) by themanderon: 10:23am On Oct 24
The man knows Nigerians don't want him back and he was never depending on their votes anyway. He has recruited his minions to snatch grab and run again and I this fails they will simply switch off the server again and call their bulaba oluwole results after 4 days and nights. Then if people protest they will go to the courts where their cash and carry judicial officers are ever willing to legalize the heist.
Nigerians should be awake to their antics. This destructive criminal band of thieves aren't going to leg go without a pushback from well meaning citizens of this country and that's why they are saying only the umpire has rights to announce their purported results.

How has the past governments been doing it? Why is it that after every subsidy was removed everything skyrocketed? When the fuel was sold at 65 naira does it mean the government was paying subsidy to the tune of over 1000 naira per litre then? Someone has got to be lying if that is the case.

What does it mean when you press your foot and it leaves a mark?
Is there cause for alarm?

Has anyone has this related symptoms before?

Would you care to share what could be the reason?

Any cause for alarm for her or nothing to worry about?
Edema or fluid retention. You need to go to the hospital to find out the actual cause. It could be your kidneys, or heart not functioning well. You also need to cut down on your salt intake.

Nairaland General › Re: True Story: I Lost ₦400,000 And Two Friendships by themanderon: 10:18pm On Oct 22
Nigerians have serious trust issues. I lost a supposed friend some years ago because of this. I gave him 25k sometime in 2015 to pay his childs fees and he refused to pay me back telling he is not the only person owing that others are owing him too. I was only able to squeeze out 15k from him and he vanished with the rest till date and never communicated again with me. Horrible lots.

Business › Re: Nigeria's Cocoa Exports To USA Grows By 650% To $142 Million by themanderon: 9:41pm On Oct 22
Why are we so retrogressive in this country. Celebrating the export of raw materials only for us to import the finished product is nothing but outright folly. I remember the former Ghanaian president telling the the Swiss leader that they don't have any more Cocoa to export that they want to start processing their own cocoa for export but here we are celebrating rubbish.
I remember my days in the university when I tasted Richoco made in Ghana. Wow, it was head and shoulders above the same product made here in Nigeria. We have a long way to go and our thoughtless leaders aren't helping matters.
Politics › Re: EKEDC Charged A Man For Loss Of Revenue For Installing 18KW Solar by themanderon: 6:59pm On Oct 22
nairalanda1:
Don;t blame the disco for doing what they did

When most of their customers are not paying a cost reflective tarrif, plus a significant minority are stealing power, and it has been ongoing for years, dedicated customers like the man in the story will seek for better alternatives...because the disco is not making enough money to give them light.

And when they do, and stop paying the disco, the disco is going to start doing things like the above.

People abuse me for calling for cost reflective tarrif. The fact is, if everyone on the grid was paying a cost reflective tarrif, enough profit would be made and enough investment would be added to fix power, and prevent abuses like this from happening.



The above is the typical response I get...which shows they know they cannot win against my argument that a company needs to make a profit to operate properly.

A common myth people like the chap above believe in is that apparently companies can operate well when they are not making a profit, and that government setting prices is the way to go.

He also believes that the N208 bn naira that the discos made in May this year can somehow magically pay for the 328 bn naira worth of electricity they were supposed to distribute, and pay for their taxes, and so forth.

Hence his above comment.



Note the fact that this comment shows he believes that he thinks that when experts like Professor Nnaji of Aba geometric call for a cost reflective tarrif in the power sector....he thinks they are saying..you know.

It's kind of amusing to see nairalanders comment on things they do not know about. And it's nice to see him lose his cool for a change.

(I'm begining to feel older than the vast majority of people on this site, even though it may not be true).

Nigerians believe that a company should give efficent service at a loss. And they believe that with all their heart. That's why it's no use having a decent discussion on this site when people believe like that.
Mr cost reflective. I know you must be here. grin

ravensckar:
Don't fall for the OP's propaganda, he's being mischievous and economical with the truth.

Firstly, he was issued an LOR not because he installed any solar generator. He probably refused to replace his old meter or he did a bypass and was caught. It has to be one of the two.

NEPA people are corrupt no doubt, but they ain't that stupid as to deliberately target him in that manner. People wey dey always fear to lose their job?

A friend of mine did something exactly like this; he was using Solar and still did bypass. He'll now be using that bypass to use electric cooker, AC and other heavy gadgets. He even advised me to do same but I refused. Around 3 months ago, NEPA hand touch am. Dude was fined around 250K for LOR. He nearly fainted.


When he was narrating the story to me, I couldn't hold back my laughter. He'll be like; "na serious matter you take dey laugh so o". It's that time the laughter will now increase.

You see this country, people too like awoof. How can somebody install Solar and still do bypass? The only fear of God that most Nigerians have is to begin God's name with a capital letter.
I don't know about the original posters case but the truth is all these distribution companies usually fleece their customers especially if you are not careful of their antics. They love over billing their customers. I remember some years back Eedc was discovered to have fleeced their estimated billing customers to the tune of almost 11 billion naira and they were asked to refund it by the NERC.
In fact all these companies in Nigeria just want to fleece their unsuspecting customers. Just the other day Airtel suddenly deducted 100 naira from my account and subscribed me to one useless service I don't even know about simply because the credit has been lying there untouched for sometime. I called them and they were apologizing but I said I don't need apology but a refund and they said it's non refundable. I told them if they don't return my money I will take up the matter with their regulator and they quickly refunded me after 24hrs.
You just have to be careful so you don't get fleeced by Nigerians these days.

sharone21:
Some people are so much OWNERSHIP kind of persons, any little thing you manage to give them for a while automatically becomes theirs, it goes beyond bad governance as I have known people in this categories for many years.

You borrow them your pen, car to use for a while, household items including match box, gas /gas cooker, pots etc and they never seem bothered to want to return it. But theirs can't leave them for a moment.

Learn to refuse anything you don't fully agree with that is bad.
If I notice you are that kind of person you described above I will eternally bounce that person. Unfortunately many people are like that these days. If you take from me willy nilly and I can't take from you then the relationship has no basis why it should exist.
Family › Re: Over Borrowing By Neighbors by themanderon: 1:37pm On Oct 22
Jozilinn:
There is something bothering me and even as I'm typing this there is no auta of happiness in me. My elder sister has made it an habit of giving out things to neighbors and sometimes it makes it hard for me especially when I am in need of that particular thing. They'll borrow big pot for a whole 2 weeks sometimes when we want to cook there'll be no big pot to use and when you go to their house to knock they'll say they are using it.

To the extent that if I collect that thing they'll come back at night to collect it back. This morning she was complaining that a neighbor wanted to carry pot and saw the onions we hid and took two. Now here's the most annoying part they'll mention the amount of things they want like four pure water,three onions,three Maggi even the gas doesn't last us to a month. And these are paying Ajo and doing pledges in various groups.

I know one that is doing Ajo of 50k to get 500k the time I was working in my former job and I was earning 45k she will say I should do her card now,or small data because I sell data but I don't do it anymore because no profit. I will tell her I don't have she's earning if not mistaken 200k and she's buying wigs and perfumes and skin care and hair care products but immediately they pay her she is broke but has money to spend on herself.

I don't want to sound rude but they're making me feel bad,and I don't want it to be like I'm getting frustrated or anything but it is not right.
I couldn't even boil water this morning because the kettle wasn't in our room. I have told her it's her fault because she has also been complaining about the fact that they don't knock our room and my cousin sister said I should leave her because there was a time she refused to give someone block from the fridge saying she cannot force it out and my sister started shouting that the should give the person.

Her friend who was inside the room with us angrily went to the fridge and forced it out to give to the man and said she is two sided and doesn't know what's doing her. Can you imagine that one of our neighbors went to the market bought onions and grinded everything while coming to borrow onions from us every day morning, afternoon and evening.

We're contributing to buy this things because where we stay food stuff are very expensive,I was even complaining to someone that when I wasn't paid salary it was hard for me to feed because if I go to someone for credit especially one lady at my house she'll frown face and this is someone I buy something from in a regular. Sometimes she'll say that thing is not available but she'll sell to someone else in my presence.

The one wey pain me pass na egg she collected the egg from me and said it's remaining only two and she wants to go and buy new one so she can't give me credit.

So you can see why I'm very angry with everything that's going on I don't want to fight anyone because I don't want to bring myself so low I don't care what they'll say but it is getting out of hand and inconvening me
Learn to draw a line. People especially Nigerians will continue to take advantage of you I you don't stop them. People who are overly too good usually end up with a red face as you will be surprised that those you have been helping ever since won't even lift a finger to do the same for you making you look like a fool. Try asking those people to borrow you the same thing they ask of you and see their reactions.
Nigerians are naturally terrible people.
