The mother reported that her baby was grossly affected by the passive smoking. The baby's life was literally at stake. What other reason does she need to relocate?

Oh well, let's not belabour the issue. Let's all concentrate on some budding male chefs who innocently pound during 'odd' hours in the privacy of their own home.

Sowore never targeted Wike, instead Thief Wike, according to how Sowore called him, made himself a target after shooookin' mouth for wetin no concern am. . Next time he go learn to mind his business.

First rule of the satanic rules of earth. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.

DrAda:
Funny. So the popular advice here and now is for him to pack out. But when I suggested the very same advice in another thread concerning a mother with a newborn baby who has a neighbour that smokes marijuana, many were quick to kick against it.

@op, the sound advice here is to pack out for obvious reasons that concerns your well-being. I hope you heed to this

Hey guys, been a minute since i last droped a post, i hope everyones doing well.

Anyways i stay at the ground floor and a group of guys stay above me, flashy cars and all, they're loud and talk about fraud and clients all the time which leeaves no doubt they're into fraud.

But here is my issue, every month i hear pounding of mortar for up to 25 minutes , 3 or 4 times.
When my babe told me the first time i just took it they were just cooking at night,

But these guys have money, or so I think, based on their lifestyle, so it makes sense they will have a blender if at all they want to cook at night and the ladies that come around should do the cooking because i noticece they mostly eat out too.

Now it happens so frequently and around the same time of 11:45 pm to 12:30, and once around 3am.


Am i being paranoid right now or people actually do these things?

There are people who cohabit with Israel because of land borders but they are not jews neither are they real isrealis. I call them adopted israelis.

it's just like some people Benin Republic and Cameroon who have stayed in Nigeria due to land borders but are really not Nigerians. Those are the Arabs real Israelis they are more of Palestinians and some may have intermarried with isrealis.

Christians in Israel are Jews that converted to Christiansity..

Jokay07:
Ok. Sorry, I didn't see any question. You mind reposting it please

jaxxy:
Israel is not Arab they are not descendants of Ishmael..They are Jews.

Jokay07:
Lolz. Go back to school?
I think I am enjoying the conversation now. I will make my response short.
Ok. Let's go back to economics textbook.
So, if I were your student. Help me make sense of those questions below.

Firstly, is the downstream sector deregulated?

Secondly: what's the meaning of "free entry and exit"
Thirdly, What's the function of "monopoly" in a deregulated upstream sector where free entry and exit exist?

Please provide answers to the following questions.

Judolisco:
it's not ridiculous.... If he or the government doesn't allow anyone else to build their own refineries then it's ridiculous

ponziponzi:
A mind that advocates for an outdated system built on rent-seeking rather than job creation cannot be regarded as progressive. Likewise, belittling the benefits of the most significant investment in Nigeria’s history out of fear of a non-existent or unsubstantiated monopoly cannot reasonably be considered positive.

yorosstores:
Ahahaha, I have 2 degree First in Economics and second in Financial Management. I should lecture you in what monopoly is.

IfYou:
Is It Sowore Or Omorere ? This Story Go Long Ooooooooo

ponziponzi:
I understand, it doesn’t have to make sense to anyone, as long as it serves your interest.

Judolisco:
Not yet and u know why.... Dangote can now push for that if he is sure he can supply the whole nation

jaxxy:
Did I say Abraham was a Christian? Or Those with such ancestry are Christian?

I said anyone with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob ancestry is a jew and from Israel or judah.

Palestinians are Arabs.

Judolisco:
the importation of bagged cement for example was banned to promote local production.... The ban was issued under the Customs and Excise Management Act (CEMA) and Customs Tariff Act.....

It's not monopoly, dangote didn't stop you from building your factory or refinery....

ponziponzi:
So how many private universities in Nigeria are part of ASUU?

I understand you have a vested interest with all the long write up trying to justify things that don’t make sense. You should understand that you are swimming against the tides.

Birthday: King Sunny Ade Turns 79 Today!


Happy 79th birthday to Sunny Ade.

jaxxy:
Well that is the interpretation of ur paymasters who think they manufactured Israel in 1948. That is not the historical fact or truth.

Go back and use ur Google to get the definition of Jews and get back to me let's continue our discussion.

Judolisco:
its not monopoly per say.....there is a law that once we can manufacture and distribute a product sufficiently in Nigeria then all importation of that product must stop.... .we were importing cement before and rebagging, dangote started producing, went to court to stop people from importing, how is that monopoly? he didnt stop people from building their manufacturing plant and competing...

coleon:
This is why I don't value a lot of nonsense that comes out of this forum.A lot of dumb ignorant people masquerade themselves as learned and being informed. Someone just corrected you that Dangote is not running monopoly in any of his business areas yet you are still boastful in your ignorance and telling someone that knows more than you to go and read.
Read what exactly? Do you know the meaning of monopoly at all? Who is your economics teacher if you don't know the difference between monopoly and oligopoly? Most of Dangote businesses that you ignorant people call monopoly are actually oligopoly. He's not the only one in any of his businesses but they are few of them in those businesses like cement, sugar, steel and not oil and gas and it's understandable because of the capital required to float such businesses.

Eniitankorede:
You are the one who should go back to school. Go and learn the meaning of monopoly. The Nupeng wants to compel Dangote staff to join them. Dangote does not stop his staff from joining unions.

jaxxy:
And ur precious online data didn't educate u that Palestinians are not Jews but Arabs right?

I already explained how Muslims and Christians came about in Israel. They all have Jews heritage all of them but not all practice Judaism.

I don't know why u are insinuating comments and perception I didn't make?

Did I ever say jews where predominantly Christians or Muslim? I stated how they might be Muslim or Christians but their heritage is definitely Jewish.

And this is still consistent with the bible.

Peter Obi should stop being Petty! It is very annoying.

nairalanda1:
LOL...monopoly is complete control of the entire supply of goods and services in a market.

Dangote is competiting with imported petrol, and also with five other refineries and then BUA refinery will be on stream in a few years

In cememnt, there is dangote cement, and then there is lafarge, ibeto, mangal, and BUA cement.

If Dangote had a monopoly, all the others will not exist.

Na you wey no know wetin monopoly be...that is why you are asking rhetorical quesitons , because you have been beaten and you know it.

yorosstores:
You probably miss this part.
"In fact, if they truly believe in competition, they could even come together and acquire the Port Harcourt Refinery and see if they can succeed where NNPC could not."

Over the last ~18 years, the government has granted over 57 refinery licences to private investors. How could we accuse Dangote of monopoly when he has taken steps to construct and begin operation. Where are the other licensees, what is stopping them. Dangote?

Eniitankorede:
I think you got things wrong. Dangote has not prevented anyone from setting up a refinery. It is therefore not a monopoly.
He has not also stopped staff from joining unions. All he says is that people should not be compelled to join unions.

psalmsjob:
How can someone's staff be controlled by another person?.... Worker's Unionism itself is exploitative. What is workers right if not the rights given by her employer? If a company is not treating you right resign so as long as your right to resign is not taken away then your right is intact

yemre:
I agree with you where you said DAPPMAN should look into setting up some refinery business of their own. But you see this your stand on Dangote being a capitalist and preventing external influence, I want to believe that you're a stakeholder in the opposition who sees Dangote as a threat!

I will approach this issue from an ordinary Nigerian standpoint as we used to think that all of us want this country to move forward and knowing that one of the major issues we have in this country is fuel. Now a refinery has been able to solve that problem and issues are coming up from external unionism. This doesn't make any sense.

If they have issues, they should call him to a round table for a reasonable negotiation and not try to dictate to him how to run his own personal business.

I would love a situation where DAPPMAN members come together to build a bigger refinery to rival Dangote. He's not the only one given a license to build.

Educationalserv:
Which monopoly 18 companies where granted permit to build refinery
Nupeng and ptd can open their own union based refinery and stop feasting on somebody else hard .

Jokay07:
Let's adopt the same transportation business in our conversation.
I believe that certain government policies must be put in place and enforced in a sector before Certain individuals can claim monopoly. No individual can monopolize a sector or resource without the backing of the government.
Speaking of CHISCO and GUO, was there ever a time that government said all commuters must use or travel with their buses?
Is it proper to say that the owner transportation company like GIG is trying to monopolize the transportation sector just because he added Logistics service and home delivery service to his transportation business?
Secondly, you can't be talking about free entry and exit and still be talking about monopoly.
You see? Your submission lacks proper cordinate, shallow, substandard and not applicable in a real business world.
So, it is either you don't understand what "monopoly" is all about or you don't understand what you posted.
Please I am not here to talk about textbook monopoly as you were taught in school.
Please answer the bolded question
