Like Daar, Like Arise

I do not understand how Dokpesi got away with it, not just Daar, I think Starcomms also went to the market to raise funds when they likely knew thier business was going under

Gotocourt:
This failed Fulani woman, wasted effort

There are actually some people who believed she won the election. Do not know how true it was, and also that Ribadu was not in her corner. It is sad if she was actually rigged out, but that is Nigeria for you

Mikkeal:
Coming from a Nigerian this looks so disgusting but I know your ilk never seen anything good if the name is not from your tribe your bigoted child of PERDITION

He just wants to write something. The award slightly favors players in teams who have won a continental club or country championship. Lookman won the Europa

SlavaUkraini:
Balloon D'or have become a Racist event....

Vinicius Jr was snubbed for the award simply because he is a Black man..

No Black man since George Weah and Ronaldinho have been found worthy to receive the award.

Fúck the Balloon D'or and Fúck the Organisers.

What may have affected vini is the Brazilian team. They are not playing well right now. Argentina won the Copa and Spain won Euro

Arostar2023:
Wigwe remaining kids are still minors, if I am right. That means those fighting the father are the estate administrators or whatever they are called, who will be living large off the late man's estate.

I too suspect he may be trying to spread the money amongst other family members instead of outsiders. Also, place family in the estate administration instead of non family.

Wanni's fans should be proud of themselves.

You fought against a bandwagon 🌝

I doubt, the twins had support early on but it looks like they could not hold on to at least 90% of the early support..Part it is the Ruthie stuff. The top two ladies tried with bringing drama but their audience may bee too similar.

Girlliving:
Agenda still agending at this point?

No agenda just personal analysis

creolehunt:
Onyeka or Wani would have been the deserving winners of the show. But nonsensical sentiments overtook Nigerians.

Whitemoney Mk2 loading.

Proud of Onyeka, she carried the bulk of the show

If Kellyrae wins, Onyeka probably gained some Wanni fans.

Bennytwin:
Everyone who follows BBN knows Kellyrae is winning.

Even Wanni's fans have since accepted that.
We are all cruising here. Lols

And please that your Top 3,we all know top 3 is Kellyrae, Victoria then Wanni!

My source said Victoria topped

Then later said Kellyrae topped.

So I guess,
First position... Kellyrae
First runner up... Victoria
2nd runner up...Wanni

I m wishing a miracle happens and Wanni tops! Is it possible?
If wishes were horses. Lols

Wanni my winner!

Victoria's own if true is a shocker

Duplicate

PNomsule:
Never mind who my fave is or isn't, however, know that I am a very morally upright individual and my disgust for Wanni isn't so much about the physical attributes rather the wanton display of crass immorality, lewd sexual innuendos, badly behaved patterns, dirty and unhygienic kitchen etiquette, unsporting or poor sportsmanship behavioural attitude...which no one can dispute as there are receipts everywhere.

Question;
A) Do you truly base your support of her on these discourteous acts or is there something alot of us are not seeing? 🤔

B) Again, (respectfully asking) would you approve of your daughter to act in those manner? ...because I would rather be without one than have or support her display these tacky qualities.

That said, it might give you a vivid idea of whom i support on the show and I don't prove my support mettle by trying hard on here to persuade people on seeing how "good" my fave is. You certainly can not know what empty barrels do? 😊

Leave them now, it is obvious why people are not voting her even though, she was being dramatic and all that. She just had question marks about her personality and character. To me the married people are not the problem, it is the rich premium voters and those going after aesthetics that they should be worried about in the long run. Nelly and Anita beating out topher. Streeze out before Aces, flourish and tami out so early. There is no guarantee that DSTV will not continue pleasing this people. I do not believe aces and nelita reached this stage based on buying votes I think they had genuine support likely from premium voters.

Bobodee09:
For me Nigerians put emotions into lot of things.
I wasn't surprised when that girl in SA who was stopped from contesting got invited and she eventually won Nigeria own.

Watching alot of home video has really messed up our minds and how we view things.
I didn't really watch the season but the few times I watched come on that guy doesn't even come close.

From week 2 people were already saying no married person have won the show before hence why they deserve to win..😆

Just get someone to cook a sweet narrative for you on SM, then make alot of noise about it and people who don't even watch will jump on it.

Nigerians are too easily influenced.....only few people can actually make there own decisions when it comes to anything social media.

Even my younger sis called me to vote for Kelly, I ask why does he deserve to win....she responded because of his wife , she good at making designs/clothes and cos they are married.
No one have been able say 2 thing distinct about this guy on the show lol........BBN isn't a reality show anymore that why alot of the contestants are very careful.

I think you people are not putting much weight to character. I started by supporting streeze but they were voted out early likely because of aesthetics reasons. But on the day they were evicted the Wanni x Handi showed a side, I did not like, you do not need to shake hands or even one f you finger but the noise was too much that day. Even after that I voted for various people including Wanni herself. But when DRC came back and I saw a bunch of people immediately go to their safe space instead of some level of engagement , I just go disconnected from her. I know she tried her best, even though I feel her strategy was to play a scripted and dramatic role but as an og in this Nigerian online stuff I amless likely to support peopel who will come out and start shouting influencer and be marketing all kinds of products under the it is all about the money no character tag. I voted for the married couple, let them use it for their family. Wanni x handi to me will still go back to the influencer tag, DJ and be charging money left and right for who knows. Let people choose, there are lot of young kids whose parents have premium that are supporting tonita and solly. What did they bring. If you left premium voters to determine it you will be suprised with the positions of Ozee, tonita and solly. It is what it is, if you let viewers determine the winner

Pinklygul:
So this agbero apologized

Used,dumped and rejected!!!
Tosa tosa tosa!!!!

I doubt it was 100% real, they probably signed an agreement and got paid. Likely took things far but within months many of them will soon do kumbaya

I hate Tinubu for his incompetence, but i hate Obaseki more. Obaseki spent 8 years as Governor with no single project to his name. As if that's not enough, he decided to impose another incompetent person like him, so he can become a godfather in Edo.

I've been saying this on this site, that we the Edo electorates will use our votes to disgrace Obaseki during this election.

Obaseki right now dey wail like a baby. We go laugh am well well

The results have not been totally tallied. If PDP lose or does not dominate in Oredo and Ikpoba Okha they will likely lose

Blackman101:
Note
1. family business is nobodies' business.
2. for any decision take for the best interest of the business is subjected to a 1001 interpretation
3. trust by sibling is a hard commodity in a family business

my advice to Mr. Kola Abiola

1.Mr. kole abiola should call a family meeting and hand-off all his father business
2. Let the family appoint anyone/ trustee/ people to run the family business
3. all late chief's children are old enough to make their own decisions
4. let him not allow the problems from his sibling will extend to his own children if care is not take.
5. He should build on his father's good will and connection to build his own business

Are you sure that a Nigerian heir will heed to the first advice to Kola? The number 2 advice makes sense in a sane country, it is actually a good way to do things. But sometimes in Nigeria we have a way of bending good things.

You mean 1 bag of cement in Chad is $240

Poorly research or sponsored article. The price is btw $8-10 per 50 kg

etrange:
These guys make unrealistic demands. The BBN project is someone’s business and they’re not going to halt their business because some faceless people want to protest. Let’s desist from making requests that would make us seem ignorant and thereby undermine the protest. TV shows have nothing to do with the protest.

After Buhari, I have been wary of any Nigeria or group calling for change or tryign to make a change. The group that put this statement out is giving me some red flags. I think it will be nice to see what objectives they want to achieve. For example ending bad governance is too broad, they first need intellectual backing to their demands and pick a few demands to fight for. There were anti government issues in 1964-1966, (political) 1981-1983(austerity) and 1993-1993 (june 12, fuel scarcity), what steps have the country taken after those issues. They need a better planned strategy to achieve their aims.

"The #EndBadGovernance protest, which will take place from August 1 to August 10, 2024, intends to solve the nation’s terrible hunger and high inflation."

How will they end it by protesting, what is their strategy to end it. If they are serious they shouyld allow everyone freedom to choose what they want to do, go to work, protest watch BBN and so on.

nairalanda1:
Simple, they can't for the most part pay minium wage.

It concerns the private sector if they have more than 25 employees. I think most non-educational can pay that amount. However, if they are struggling to pay, they can change their staff to part-time or seasonal because the law only concerns full time employees.

Jayhome24:
I was also laughing at their250k and 670k nonsense then.

Bro one thing in Nigeria is if some candidate fail to win election then everything must be crush regardless because if you see the way obidients took this matter without thinking about other sectors who are even struggling to pay the former 18k minimum wages then how can they pay 250k or 650k? And at the end sacking half of their staffs to cushion the cost thereby increased unemployment rate, crime soar to the sky, more hunger ad the funniest thing many of them families are going to suffers it but all they care is things must crumble regardless it will involves their family and friends evenn them.

Government, both state and federal should retrace it step and invest in the public sector, such as good public primary and secondary schools, transportation/roads and hospitals. They already have the structures just improve the standards. A lof of people pay 10% or higher of their total pay on school fees and some smaller % on health and transportation. If we can make schools and hospitals better and cheaper it will serve the populace. Right now everything seems haphazard and unorganized. they spend money on schools and hospitals but do not follow up on quality standards of service and quality improvement.

mohims:
It won't make any much difference considering the current rate of inflation in Nigeria. State Governors are the biggest problem. Most of them will not comply with the new minimum wage that will be announced

I do not know about the state governors because I believe minimum wage should be left with the states. However, if the government is serious, a real labor negotiation is not all about money, separate the unions and negoatiate with them individually. If the police want certain amount, you will give them deliverables, same for NAFDAC, SON and son. A lot of this agencies are weak and they need to be strengthened, it is not all about leadership, if workers have develiverables they have to deliver within the law let them deliver it and let them agree to a merit system that is of international standard. A police divisional unit should know how to investigate crimes and get results. Imagine, i know a scammer online, soliciting for fake business, I took the number and evidence to a DPO, he said, it has to be taken to some department elsewhere and that it will cost me. I left, the scammer may still be there scamming people. If institutions and workers are effective, we will feel it. Increase in wages is cool, but effectiveness will show results everyone can see.

CAPITALBEE:
Let's hope the new minimum wage is reflective of the current economic realities!

It should also be reflective on the ability of the government to pay the wage and also maintain law and order and infrastructures.

He is just relying on people's ignorance. These are people who will say corruption is the only problem in Nigeria, but will shout Tinubu is the problem in Nigeria just a month after he came into office. What is the problem then? First of all mobile telephone was quite expensive and was not the norm in the U.S. even up to 1998 what people used were landlines, the cost of the cables and network gear for this line were expensive. The issue was likely cost prohibition for the government. What he could have done was to elaborate the cost of providing telephone services for the nation durign the 1980s then you have to elaborate on the competence of NITEL to handle the network. If that is done you can now discuss what ITT delivered. Because his father said Abiola was corrupt does not provide evidence that it is why our telecommunications development took a while. My guess is the cost and us not being visionary then.

Bignuell:
Natural way of population control? Which kind talk be this. But then again, they want children like normal couple, so is it justifiable?

I think it is possible that nature is smarter tha humans. The pressure on natural resources of untamed population growth is already obvious. What we can think about is what is the weight of procreation in relation to recreation in sexual activities. If it tilts towards procreation, how can we have meaningful population growth rate for future generations without controlling out libido

dejavubobo1:
Asian companies are anti-welfare, corrupt, sub-standard and mediocre . They are typically suited to Nigerians and the government.
Regsrdless of how bad an economy is Asian companies go in and cart away huge profit.. your guess ?


The Europeans hardly cut-corners, they also don't tamper with starndards both in quality and labour welfare. If they do they know the implication can be severe. They are obviously not in the same Idle with the emilokan government.

Can Nigerian companies also create good standard products and not be anti welfare?

It is the the industries/commercial activities of a city that makes a port viable. Rather it is the port that makes a city viable or commercial/industrial activities. This is what creates the commercial/industrial activities in Lagos.

Let me just say this, Lagos port was built to export cash crops. What you are saying just increases the risk profile of the investments. The colonial authorities built the port to export groundnuts and cocoa.For the former, a rail network was built for the port. They probably figured with export steady exports and imports the port should be viable, hence a medium risk investment. Just like the existing Warri port, oil and gas activity already exist in the area, to collect revenue instantly. You need to build a port and within two years be generating some sort of revenue, you can still build a port and wait for industries to germinate but it will delay the revenue generation for the investors nad increase the risk. Again, liek I said earlier be careful of basing your analysis on what you hear in Nigeria, we can be empty barrels. Hopefully they have engaged in tehir own market survey and see where revenues can be geenrated to offset the cost.

Ten06:
Why has the bogus salary being collected by political office holders and their hanger on not lead to mass sacking?
The executives
The National Assembly members
The judiciary
The state Governors

Why are these people salary not affecting the country?
The solution to this problem is to put everyone on minimum wage.

Partly because they are powerful and the executive accord them the respect. When they have bastardized the civil service by promoting people not based on merit, hiring family nad friends to come ad chop, what do you expect? They do not respect them. If we are serious, recruitment into the civil service should be based on rigourous hiring processes, staff performance, job assigments and decriptions should also be assidously monitored and constantly reviewed. If the police, customs, immigration and civil service are efficient, they deserve a good wage but rewarding inefficiency because of inflation ma not help the economy

Chidonsky:
I concur with government on this as most private company hardly pay 35k let alone 250k

It is because we work under a system that is disjointed. Minimum wage is not an emotional issue. It is also a legal issue, if you set minimum wage at 250k, that means an high school student will go work as a sales girl and has to be legally paid 250k. Because that is what minimum wage legally means. It is not a living wage for a family but the basic wage for like a non diploma holder with no kids, so if you pay a non diploma holder 250k, how much will you pay a diploma or PHd holder as a basic wage. Farm hands will be paid that also. Labour is just interested in their union members, which is fine but they should not use that to bring the economy down.

Onovo3:
In my view, this project if actually completed will compliment Lagos, by creating another industrial hub and modern city around Warri Environs. It will help in relieving congestion and job opportunities for our people. Beside in 2014 President Jonathan in 2014, went there to commission the Gas Revolutionary and Industrial Park. Warri, Port Harcourt and Uyo are in Strategic location that makes them appealing for massive industrial project, this is supported by the abundant amount of oil and gas in their environs.

I don't think anyone has to fear that the development of these areas would mean Lagos would collapse, rather they are suppose to work in synergy with Lagos. This is why the Coastal highway initiated by President Tinubu linking these cities is a welcome development,

You have to understand that you are discussing with people who are not open minded, hence the issue of Lagos this and that. The issue of Apapa and Tin can is largely a federal government issue, state do not directly get revenue from ports, it is Customs and FIRS and other federal bodies. Secondly, there is a port in Warri, which has a growing oil and gas activity. What is needed right now in that axis is infrastructural development which can be linked to the existing port or then a new port. People like to talk about industrial development, but it can work if there is an existing market around the port, an export oriented industrial project but if not, the infrastuture needs to be there including rail network.. The strength of the ports in Lagos has little to do with the state government but because Lagos is seen as a strategic market for industries to sell goods and also easy access to imported raw materials for those industries, developing a new commercial zone will need infrastuctural development.

Druss:
This makes no sense. Who designed the refinery?

I doubt it was designed to only produce foreign crude. My guess is that it was designed to produce light and heavy crude. It is different from other refineries because it can produce lubricating oils and asphalt.
