Elon Musk is a business man and it's obvious he's doing all these to protect his new business. Remember that Jack plans to open another social network which will want to complete with Twitter, so the best is not to allow Jack still have insiders that can still feed him with info about what's going on in Twitter. The problem is just that these people will become jobless and that's not cool.

PS: this is just my point of view oo, as I believe Elon Musk aims to make profit with Twitter.

simple as ABC. He isn't a politician, he is a businessman and a smart one too, who must have had a damn good reason for taking that decision. End of!

Because i want comfort na … them use suffer do me … i no wan dey suffer come still dey smile … God forbid … because the politicians no dey suffer … me sef i deserve small enjoyment too … no special treatment abroad when ut comes to basic things … but here basic is luxury … i can categorically tell u that there are estate the island with 24hrs light supply … for the same lagos … but the rent na die … is 24hrs light too much to ask for … ghana get am na … how ghana take do am … is there any magic to it … make our government ask ghana how them take do am … i am asking u a direct question now … u be die hard nigerian fan … when do you think Nigeria will be able to give her citizens 24hrs uninterrupted power supply..

guy, if you check my posts, you will see clearly where I stand on naija matter. I'm not a die-hard Nigerian fan, I don't give a damn about Nigeria. I'm just a person and businessman minding and going about my business on a daily basis and pursing my goals.

elijah101:
He did not lie … internet in Nigeria is super expensive, if i dey save data money for one year … i go buy land for inside inside ogun state

see now, you have also dropped an ignorant claim. Internet is more expensive in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, and I'm talking from direct experience of two of those countries and from friends in the other two countries. Not people using WiFi at work o, I'm talking about prepaid internt plans. They are far far more expensive. Shey you go argue that one too.

elijah101:
Twoods no lie … i still have quotes from different companies for solar inverter … price go don even increase now …the least i got for 5kva was about 1.3m i think … least ooo … how many people fit afford this for nigeria … ur mechanic no fit run walaii… u sef know … market women or bricklayers or welders no fit run am …. And again i want u to compare a carpenter in the abroad to the one in Nigeria …

see what I mean, does inverter translate to solar and must the setup be mega! Jeezuz! I don tire o...lol. ok guy, you can set up an inverter that will last you 3-4days to watch TV, power fan for you to sleep pretty at night,and lighting (with energy saving bulbs) to go about your activities all for under 200k even as things cost now. How much more before now and the many ppl that have set it up. I haven't even incorporated solar to mine cos the current setup is still okay for me. Why are you jumping straight to the millions millions setup Hehehe. O GA oo

Elijah if you want to buy a car now, will you only consider a 2022 range rover OR a car that you can afford that can get you from point a to b without issues. Cmon man! Well I have shared what i want to share with you, if you get it fine, if not it's all good. Cheers

elijah101:
U know how much inverter cost … u go use Ac … use fridge … use other small small things u dey compare inverter to normal light … even if na solar sef … normal light still better pass am … 100

Elijah101, man to man, I beg you, don't be emotional when discussing. Not an insult. Strive to not be emotional and you will stand out. Many men are so weak and emotional and it beats me. If you are wrong admit it, it shows strength and character. It won't kill you. Ok let me break it down further. Imagine that Mr Woody came and made a bogus claim that there is no internet in Nigeria and people are riding donkeys, and I or you stepped in to say haha, sofrisofri na, internet dey and people are driving cars, does that have anything to do with comparison of countries? Stay on point, stick to the facts, and stand out when having discussions.. cos only very few people can.

elijah101:
As i dey type so … i no get electricity for house … nepa don take light sinceee morning … why do i need an inverter when i can get 24hrs un interrupted light … thats on the side … if you are not on a prepaid meter in Nigeria … crazy bill will kill you … because u will be billed for darkness … imagine this … my light got cut off 2nd of june … my prepaid meter came in 25th june … i got the light fixed back … july 2nd … bill comes in for june for a whopping 98k naira … i complained … but even nerc could not do anything about it … so tell me do you prefer this lawlessness to a working system … be honest with your self

no be wetin I dey follow una/you talk be this. Mr Woody said na only rich and wealthy dey build house and dey use inverter for naija, I clear am say no be only rich and wealthy dey build house and use inverter for naija. No more, no less! all this one na discussion for another day, wey I no even dey interested in, and I did not comment on. Hope you get me now. Shalom

elijah101:
Why you dey argue blindly brother … abroad is better than nigeria … the only good thing about nigeria is having no laws in place … i can say to you categorically that your house abroad has more value than ur house here in Nigeria ………. I wont say more than that … we get for the abroad and Nigeria … so i dey tell u based on my own experience …

una get brain freeze. When you are able to show me where I said one country is better than the other in this thread, quote the statement and get back to me. People incapable of independent thinking, even those who have supposedly lived in the sane climes cannot hold conversation and stay on point. Quit rambling like the intellectual lilliputians that are vapid and boring, and only have wack lines like 'this is what i make in a week, yen yen yen'. Show me where in this thread I was doing comparison of countries. Someone yarned dust and I cleared him, and he sef has admitted stylishly say his post was wildly ignorant, you are joining him to deflect to a topic I did not bring up. Be a man of your own, you hear. It isn't that hard.

Irresponsible president.

irresponsible and incompetent. A monumental fraud and a colossal failure! Everyday, I regret campaigning for and supporting this dead-weight in 2015 ONLY.. who knew someone would make Jonathan look like an angel afterall.

Some women lack manners, at times you just need to slap most of them, to reset their brains.

so if your sister enter cab, and cabman dey carry am go where she no know, make she siddon dey look as good geh abi. The way some of una judge tins ehn!?

The cab man was way too extra. With the security situation today, you can't blame someone who raises an alarm if you are going in a particular direction they are NOT familiar with...a lady for that matter. 'Don't go there', no warrant the outburst. If the geh rude now, you fit tell am the history of her mama, but this? Nah! If a guy like me say no pass there twice and you dey do strong head, I'll def knock you out first and ask questions later. Who wan be victim of ritualist or kidnapper?

did you know him to reach that conclusion that your weekly income is =to this yearly or you just be silly like most Japarains do to feel fulfilled .

you quoted the wrong person. Mr Woody wey you dey find is right up there. Cheers

Because people are selfish and getting into it for all the wrong reasons. Not to mention people are more vain now than ever. To see quality human being these days, male and female alike, e hard

TWoods:
Just more word salad… a cursory read of your posts and it’s clear this is your MO with folks like justwise and Ednut.

I make what you make a year in a few weeks… my 2 best friends from college in naija are in high ranking jobs at chevron and BASF US. See, I can use 3 of us as living proof” that a life in America is far superior to the life you live in the hellhole called Nigeria.

Your reluctance to answer my questions speak volumes. You won the north lottery and think you can lecture everyone… good luck when you get any health issue beyond malaria. Dunce.

couldn't resist huh. You defaulted to this stale line.. I actually hoped you were of sound mind

TWoods:
Save the idiotic condescension. All you are living breathing proof of is that a tiny minority of Nigerians will win the birth lottery. End of.

I notice you’ve steadfastly refused to address key points I raised… let me state again:

1. What percentage of Nigerians earn N500k/month?
2. Why should I pay income taxes every year yet have to provide my own borehole, electricity, security and enough savings to travel to India for basic life saving treatment?
3. Are you certain of adequate medical care should you need it? Or there are inverters for life saving surgeries now?

The point isn’t to laud living abroad, it’s to point out the utterly and laughably deluded idea that just because you won the birth lottery, anyone “with a little financial literacy, can live well and fine” in Nigeria. Good luck with your inverter… no one uses that in serious countries.

enough of being a dolt with shitty comprehension abilities. I am not here to do a comparison of Nigeria and other countries with you. I am here to point out your wildly ignorant post. Deal with it! Go back and read your post, or get someone with good eyesight to read it out loud for you, and learn what I am teaching you. You claim only the rich and wealthy are building houses and using freaking inverters, and i said and i'm still saying that claim is so unfounded and ignorant. Even you have stylishly admitted that by backtracking from 0.0000000001 wey you dey cap to 1% and now feigning many people weren't using inverter when you left. Now I am clearing you, learn, admit you yarned crap, and face front instead of clutching at straws in deepwater. I ain't doing a comparison of countries with you and anyone with eyes to read, firing brain cells, clarity of mind, and maturity can clearly see that, afi iwo. Won't be responding to you again.

Ps...i don't have just a little financial literacy (I no wan dey brag before ni) . Baba God deposited that gift in me..lati kekere ni oo. I know how to control, manage, make the most of money....pele...hehehehe

TWoods:
…and exactly how accurate is the 15% number you just threw out? Is there data on which you based your estimate… or like me are you making a guesstimate? Very easy to criticize…

Your point is all over the map. In which other country do you pay taxes and yet have to pay for and generate your own electricity, build your own boreholes, provide your own private security and pray you never get seriously sick? You provide lots of personal anecdotes that don’t apply to the vast majority of Nigerians.

I asked before, what percentage of Nigerians earn up to N500k/month? Easy to “sort your shit out” if you won the birth lottery…

and you provide a lot of personal anecdotes that are based of nothing. If that well written explanation can not show you your flawed point of view, nothing will. Fact is, I am living breathing proof that with a little financial literacy, you can live well and fine even without being opulent. You can have a decent house, cars, assets, business, and a freaking inverter, all what in your wildly uninformed view (which you still hold onto for dear life) is only accessible to the rich and wealthy). 0.0001% ko, 7000% ni. Pele Abroadarian, chief statistician of the NBS diaspora chapter! Funny lots

TWoods:
None of the folks you mention here represent close to 1% of Nigeria's population. The exception is not the rule. You make N500k/month… how many Nigerians make that amount?

you responded without reading, clearly. First of, I noticed you changed the 0.0001% to 1%, so you are thankfully backtracking closer to reality. Now, even 1% is about 2million people, meaning a little above 50000 ppl per state. You saying about 50000ppl per state don't use inverter shows how WILDY out of touch this point is. Again, inverter setup in most homes is pretty commonplace these days. Stop the habit of throwing percentages or stats without having a full or partial grasp of what you are saying. I would say at the very least 15% of people use inverters as at now. It doesn't have to be a mega setup, with one chinco Suoer inverter of less than 20k, charger of
about 15-20k and a good 200-220ah battery of about 120-150k, you are good to go, even now wey naira don cast...it beats fuelling gen daily. I only put my gen on once or twice a year when long power cuts of like a week long or more happen, which is very very rare.

Also, I typed clearly that I didn't even get to 500k/month before I resigned to face business. Just to let you know that most of my shit was sorted even without earning very big money. My mechanic and vulcaniser wey most go look and think they are riffraffs na their house dem dey. E fit no posh, but it is theirs. All this 0.0001 OR 1% you keep insisting on throwing around is just a figment of your imagination.

TWoods:
Shootings and gun violence happens in the US, but it does not affect the vast majority of the populace. I’ve lived in 4 states over 17 years and never had a problem with violence. In Nigeria, even your governors and pastors are not immune from violence, armed robbers and kidnappers.

Yes some Nigerians have access to 24 hours electricity, but they must be wealthy enough to be able to afford inverters and solar infrastructure. That amounts to <0.0001% of the population. By contrast 99% of the US population takes 24 hr electricity for granted with no need to invest in anything else.

The idea that “most Nigerians can easily build their houses” is false. <0.001% can truly afford it. Most of those who can afford it do so by stealing public funds. How many Nigerians can truly build homes on their legitimately earned income? The average American can own a home on an average pay check.

the bolded are wildly inaccurate and exaggerated. Most working class folks use inverters now just as most homes now use boreholes for water. I have been using an inverter right from 2014 even as a bachelor with 120k salary. Till now I have 24hr electricity as do most of my contacts/friends etc. Having an inverter setup is pretty commonplace these days.

It is actually very easy to build in Nigeria thanks to lack of regulations. Not everyone will live in Lagos, as Nigeria does not start and end there. I got mine sorted before I got married at age 30. Buy land today and with enough funds on standby even with the horrendous exchange rate you will build a 3-bed tastefully with 15m total (land cost inclusive). Buying is even easy now, 6-7m and you'll still get a 3-bed in an okay area. It always easier and cheaper to buy houses as people only sell houses out of desperation. Ppl selling lands are not usually desperate to sell. Smart people are buying property for really cheap rates at the moment. Screw Bitcoin, buy houses!

PS: I never even got to 500k monthly salary till 2020 when I resigned to face business squarely. Sales reps in good companies/multinationals like Merck, BAT wey I know dey build block of 4-6flats, most of them still under 40. Artisans,meat sellers sef get their own house. Fancy or not, it is theirs. So scratch the only the wealthy can own house thought.

I think Ikoyi bridge is the most popular place, it's in every movie, almost every music video.

two major Ambode projects on this thread already. Same Ambode that was rubbished by Anarchist grandpa, but today they still take glory for his achievements.

Ignorance is a disease..why would he need to sacrifice his son?Davido was born already with a Silver and Diamond spoon combined so what does he need sacrifice for when he was born into wealth?some of you just make ignorant statements anyhow.

Is not the same cult Burna boy is in too and zlatan etc?So them no ask them to do sacrifice too? Davido just has a case of very bad coincidences unfortunately and nothing more than that.

no accusations towards Davido from me, but i have read this same line more than a couple of times since this incident, and it is very very illogical. If my wealth is unclean and I introduced my son who was born into wealth into the fold, does the fact that said son was born into wealth negate the fact that he is part of the occult? A good example is Hilton hotel and Oduduwa university owner. He is a billionaire, shey no be ritualist? His son, wasn't he fingered among those who oversaw the murder of Timothy Adegoke the Oau MBA student?? Most ogboni people initiate their children. Period. Born into wealth means nothing

That nanny will rue the day she signed that employment contract. No two ways abourit, this ain't ending well for her. O ma se o!

lhordspy:
Kai.. I think sometimes engaging in this kind of discussion is tiring to me. Sorry sir.

What do you mean by accolades? I said US is secretly influencing the supposedly neutral FiFA, politically. And you are still mentioning FiFA giving US accolades openly.

How do you think a non-politically organisation like FiFA is suddenly engaging in politics, using ukrainian flag all around, involving themselves in the ongoing war. Whereby in the past they had ban several countries towing the same political way. Now every footballing countries can display ukranian flag in a football match without been suspended.

Is this the first time war is going on in the world? What about isreal-Palestinian. And the other times the uNited state had invaded other countries(like 24 different countries).

Why is FiFA all of a sudden taking interest in politics, remember they banned Russia,on same influence by the US. Or why do you think the Ukranian are now bold enough to be demanding another team also get ban, if they werent involved in the ban of Russia.


These things are connected, think sir. Think.

I no even know initially say na you I quote. But per this statement and logic, you are spot on! If the bolded doesn't provide clarity to anyone debating this, nothing else will.

E dey always sweet my belle when I come across very balanced posts like this oozing with enlightenment. Tiri gbosa for you comrade! To intellectual Lilliputians Russia is just plain evil, nothing concern them with the back story and all accompanying facts or factors.

One4me:
You are the first Person to really grasp what is going on here!

That Selenski has abused every western Leader in sight.
He called the German Chancellor a Liverhwurst, a very derogatory term in German language but the German Leader eventually went to Kiev to pay obeisance.
He has abused Israeli Foreign Minister and Prime Minister recently, when they refused to give him the Iron Dome despite the fact the have been giving him non-lethal weapons and Humanitarian Aid.

Selenski and his Ministers abused Elon Musk, despite Musk providing them with their only source of Internet Services, which they also use in their Weapons target systems. Just because Musk said he couldn't continue to sole bear the Cost of the Service, which is about $20Million, every month.

This Crazy Selenski and his Nazi battalions even put Israeli Foreign Minister, a Musician called Walters, Elon Musk and other important people who did not agree with his unending demand for Weapons, on a "Kill List", in a Website they operate.
The Website lists all the important details (Phone #, Home address, Pictures of Children and the Schools they attend, Parents address, etc) needed by a Killer, any Killer, to get to the person or their family members. Many People were killed, just after being put on that List.
Elon Musk was only removed after he resignedly, agreed to keep bearing the $20M Starlinks Cost indefinitely!

Selenski did the same thing by abusing the `Irish President, for complaining, after Housing for free, over 50,000 Ukrainians, that they have ran out of Houses! There were Ten Ukrainians who just arrived in Ireland and could be housed immediately, the Ukrainian foreign Minister even told the Irish Govt that "This is unacceptable, you must find them accommodation immediately".
Like Ukraine will attack Ireland if they dont, what an insult?
The list is endless.
His sense of Entitlement, no be here.



But like you observed, the West (America especially) created and put Ukraine into this situation.
Crazy Selenski knows he is ruined and he feels entitled to insult those who pushed him into this suicide mission.
Left to Selenski, he was ready to sign a Ceasefire agreement with Russia, supervised by the UN and Turkey, way back in March but America and its European lackeys told him not to sign the agreement (which would have ended Hostilities and paved way for Negotiation), that they will give him enough weapons, Intelligence,, Financial Aid and other Support, to defeat Russia because as Lloyd Austin, the American Military Chairman said, "Our Aim and goal is to see Russia weakened and defeated".

So, they cannot now be trying to back-out.
As a matter of fact, Selenski knows he is fighting their War, he is using his People as cannon fodder, for them.
His Country is being reduced to "Russian Rubble" , for their sake, so why should he still be begging them for Weapons or Money?
I predict he would slap one of them at a meeting,, very soon.

But something funny is happening: For the past ten Months, more than 40 Countries, including the strongest in the world, like America, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Japan, Australia, Canada, the whole 28 Countries of the EU, etc, have been supplying Weapons to Ukraine and they felt it was Right and Legitimate.

But once Iran tried to give Russia some crude Drones and Baby Missiles, they were all crying and attacking Iran?
I am like, are these People stoopid or born retarded? It is a War and each side will have allies.
Just because America is threatening and inflicting Crippling Sanctions on anyone who tries to be on the side of Russia (They are abusing their New World Order Position in many ways), it does not mean that Russia does not have supporters, it is just that most of them are too scared (check out that disgraceful UN Secretary and how countries vote in the UN), to scared of what America will do to them, if they dared Vote their minds.
One Man was even sentenced to 4yrs in Prison, just because the Letter "Z" was on his Car.
Courtesy of Ukraine, the List of Alphabets has been reduced from 26, to 24.
Ukraine has proscribed Letter Z and V for the whole World.

Arrogant B*st@rds.

Lol. USA alone don spend 17.6billi, even after all the sanction sanction. Las las Putin/Russia don turn USA and others to client . Can't wait for when USA will tire and hands off like they did in Afghanistan. I go like see wetin selenke Zelensky go do

Hahahah miracles happen in Nigeria doesn't it ?

really? You don't know Soludo was a former CBN governor, a brilliant man who strengthened and sanitised the banking industry before Emefoole came and made a mess of everything? Na im be say you must still be quite young. Anyone in even 30's age range knows. After Soludo came Sanusi Lamido, then Emefoole

What is most painful and annoying is that one would think after that Dbanj tragedy, people would make better choices, but No. Dbanj's case was even more 'understandable', almost predictable even, as his child drowned in an Indoor pool. Indoor pools are way too accessible, a child within just 1minute or less can easily run/walk/crawl there Contrast that to this one, wey happen for outdoor pool wey dey backyard. How everybody in the house (papa and mama inclusive) missed this is just something!

Very sad development, hopefully the living will learn a thing or two from this tragedy.
