Politics / Re: NNPCL Pegs Ex-Depot Price At ₦479.50 Per Litre by unmask: 11:33pm On Jun 05, 2023
Freksy:
This thing is a scam - well organised.

Each time they want to hike the price of fuel, as a means of extorting money from the poor masses to run the corrupt system, they deceive us with this subsidy thing.

Nigeria is broke! Totally broke! They need money by all means. In the coming months or years they will use the same formula to extort money from the poor citizens. They will say it was partially removed.

You can't truly deregulate and still continue to fix the price of PMS - that's regulation.
Are they fixing the price for the whole country or just their filling stations?
Politics / Re: Festus Osifo & Adebayo Clash Over Subsidy Removal by unmask: 10:52am On May 31, 2023

SDP presidential Candidate, Adebayo:


Responding to the weighty claim, Osifo asked the SDP candidate to show proof or “take that back.” Despite repeated attempts by the TUC president and the presenter, Seun Okinbaloye, to get a retraction from the SDP candidate, he refused.

TUC president, Osifo then fires back at Adebayo:

Earlier on twitter, Adebayo criticised TUC and NLC for being partisan:

I was one of those that rejected subsidy removal in 2012. I don't regret it. My opposition then was due to the fact that I wanted Jonathan to fight the cabals that were benefitting from subsidy. His body language was like a defeated person and not someone who could tackle the cabals.

Now the party has changed, the cabals still remain and the amount has quadrupled.

Removal is the way to go - hard and fast.

So I went to see my gurl Hilda Baci to see what she got cooking. had to empty the bank akant just to bring yall this content. the place is alright, the AC is very strong, its small and cute.

The food prices? A bit on the high side for like swallow eaters like soup starts from 5000 naira. Just the soup alone without the meat and swallow. the rice i bought is 1500, the fish 2000 and malt is 400 for a total of 3900 naira. the food was straight up garbage. TAsted horrible. I could only stomach half of it till i abandoned the rest. I give it a solid 3 out of 10.

The positives are the AC is very cold and the malt was very cold. would i go back ? nope
I did enjoy her native rice, one of the best I have tasted. Also the snail was well made and hard the right amount of hardness exactly how I like it. Not a fan of boiled chicken, but hers made me a believer.

Different strokes for different folks. But I sincerely did enjoy the meal and ordered back to back. Can't wait to place today's order.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Is Not Giving Employees Public Holidays Modern Slavery? by unmask: 1:48pm On May 27, 2023
MrBrownJay1:
it all depends on A) what kind of business you are in (many businesses are open on public holiday thus no public holidays for their staff) and/or B) the type of contract you signed. you had a choice and you decided to agree to work on public holidays, so why complain now?! C) how can it be slavery when you are allowed to quit when ever you desire? if you dont like the job, then go get a job that you desire, et voila!

It is slavery because most companies exploit our lax labour laws to get their workers to do more

I kinda like this coz it means for the next 8 years, Abuja people will know what they call true entertainment and happiness.

Seyi Tinubu sabi PR games wella and I love how he pulled all those artist to Abuja. They should do something like this regularly so the youth can unwind and network with people and party.

I also observe something. Seems the Northerners are operating on a different wavelength entirely judging from the difference in the music style of South and North. Shey they no like Afro pop ni? They suppose get one confam artist that’s at the fore. Well Skales, MI, Jesse Jags, Tuface, and etc could qualify are Northerners but not just core North.

The summary of the whole thing is that,

Rufai Oseni was simply an alarmists, blowing an incident out of proportion..of course, I don't blame him..he is a journalist and his job is to sell a story....40 Cars was just too much...next time, he should try report it as it is..

Oga Ben, he goofed by claiming a volunteer was sent..haba, you be Oga boss...you for use this case shine by directing the closest DPO, who supposedly reported that no such incident happened, to mobilise to the streets for on the spot assessment.

Our police needs to do better..really.
when he had called his DPO and his DPOs report was not believed, he decided to use a civilian at least that one has nothing to hide.

I surely won't waste time with someone that says 40 brainboxes got stolen in 1 day

Car Talk / Re: Driving Vs. Being Driven: Which One Is More Convenient? by unmask: 6:42am On Apr 24, 2023
Capitalresource:
As someone who loves to enjoy life and have a good time, I can tell you that the answer is clear: being driven is the way to go.

Sure, driving can be fun sometimes. There's something exhilarating about being in control of a powerful machine, cruising down the open road and blasting your favorite tunes on your stereo. But let's be real, how often does that actually happen? More often than not, driving is a stressful, time-consuming hassle that leaves you feeling drained and stressed out.

Being driven, on the other hand, is pure luxury. You get to sit back, relax, and let someone else do all the work. No more traffic jams, no more searching for parking spots, no more road rage. Instead, you can use that time to catch up on emails, read a book, or just take a nap. Plus, if you're lucky, your driver might even offer you a complimentary bottle of water or a snack.

Of course, there are some downsides to being driven. For one thing, it can be expensive. Hiring a private driver or using ride-sharing services can really add up over time. And if you're someone who likes to be in control, it can be hard to relinquish that power to someone else.

But for me, the convenience and comfort of being driven far outweigh the costs. I'd much rather arrive at my destination feeling relaxed and refreshed than stressed out and frazzled. Plus, if I'm being honest, I kind of like feeling like a VIP when I'm being chauffeured around town.

So, to wrap it up, if you're someone who values convenience, comfort, and a little bit of luxury, being driven is definitely the way to go. Just sit back, relax, and let someone else do the driving.
Depends on the car, Toyota, Benz, Honda etc...... it's best you are driven. But If you are behind the wheels of a BMW best drive that car yourself it makes no sense otherwise

Wayne4uall:



Thank U so much for this statement..,it makes me happy because I am planing to buy X6 2016 but I am scared if it developed problem because only few mechanics can fix the car...PLS share Ur BMW experience with me ..thanks

Go for it....one of the best decisions I made and as it is I can't buy any other car that isn't a BMW.

You just have to ensure that you follow your maintenance regime religiously.

Reliability is very high if you maintain it properly

I stay in a highly corrosive environment and that has really affected my car.

As for repairs, pricey but not as bad as people think given that the car is reliable

If you would not use a Coscharis for repairs, then ensure you have a scanner to pinpoint faults before you take to a mechanic.

I am quite the DIY person so I do all my diagnosis myself and also tell mechanics what to fix when I can't fix them myself.

In terms of repairs I have done in 5 years
Changed my wipers
Fixed my parking brake
Changed my wheel speed sensors
Changed my window regulator

I buy all my parts from the US (Amazon/FCPeuro)
Usually after market parts original branded BMW parts are crazy expensive.

So do go for it. But like I said do all checks with a good car scanner. if possible get one specific to BMW. It will throw up any inherent fault. Listen for any odd sounds during your test drive

She's right , if a lady is not willing and you succeeded in begging her ( that's truly an emotional manipulation) to have your way with her, then it's rape because her initial refusal is what matters.
We can then outlaw begging altogether, if it is called emotional manipulation. Someone looking for a job pesters you till you agree. Someone needs money for school and begs a relative

All the other states, don't have the population that Lagos has or the vehicular traffic.

We need to be honest in our assessment

No other state faces the population crises that Lagos faces. Based on its size and number of vehicles, there is considerable strain on infrastructure.

Can things be done better? Definitely.

There are too many cars on Lagos road, hence the traffic.

Unfortunately the public transport system is also not robust enough.

True, but in fairness, does Rufai have proof that it was Fayose that was on the recording? It is one thing to accuse someone in the "beer parlour", but on National tv he should only speak proven facts as facts. He is a journalist.
