now that he does not have mouths to feed coupled with the fact that his parent is a retired govt staff, we can consider him a rich guy. he has the viability to save 200 to 300k per month, conveniently
UyaiIncomparabl:


500k Isn't rich, please. Especially if you have a lot of responsibilities/mouths to feed.

Na average salary. Start earning it and you'll know how far.

One thing tells me you are cheating on him, if not, i wonder why you dont want that marriage of yours to work, you want to just jump out for this single untenable reason, have you tried calling his rapt attention to it, have you used the power of your vagina on him yet, so as to condition him from that unruly behaviour, maybe it is more than meets the eye, i will like you to expatiate further..

Politics / Ten Unbelievable Things About Nigeria. by waseun007: 8:01am On Apr 10, 2021
*Ten Unbelievable Things About Nigeria*
Dissonance. Is that the right word to describe the contradiction between word and action? Like the man putting up a “No Smoking” sign while a slowly burning stick of cigarette is trapped between his lips? There are too many things I cannot understand about my country. They look so simple, so commonsensical and so doable — like plucking low-hanging fruits — that they shouldn’t elicit any argument or foot-dragging. Yet, for decades on end, government after government, president after president and governors after governors keep going in circles. They will proclaim one thing as policy and do everything possible to undermine it. Is it an IQ problem? Or wickedness? Or blindness? Or plain incompetence? I will highlight just 10 of these unbelievable things today. Heartbreaking!

One, getting a certificate of occupancy (C of O) is hell. In a country of 200 million people with an unemployment rate of over 30 percent and a worsening crime rate, the least commonsensical thing you expect of government is to make life as simple as possible for private businesses so that they can create jobs, add value and accelerate economic growth. Not in my Nigeria. A simple C of O that can enable entrepreneurs use landed property as collateral for loans is the most difficult document to get in many states. This locks down billions of dollars in the real estate – with the multiplier effects hurting several other sectors of the economy. This is to say nothing about planning permits and ridiculous building charges that make life even harder for the entrepreneur. Dissonant!

Two, we want to create jobs but kill small businesses. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the engine room of economies. That is where the jobs are. For instance, SMEs represent 95 percent of all businesses in the EU — and, overall, 85 percent of the jobs in Europe. In Nigeria, we claim we want to create jobs and combat crimes — but it is like you are committing a crime when you open a little shop. Rather than help you find your feet or leave you alone, government agencies will come after you with hefty levies and AK-47. You would think you have just killed somebody. The federal capital territory is the most notorious in this war against SMEs. I have written a million times on this malady and I will not stop until we have listening and reasoning leaders. Counterproductive!

Three, we can neither import nor export without tears. We import virtually everything we consume. That is a fact known worldwide. Common sense dictates that we should be able to import hassle-free to save our lives. Some of the most traumatic and chaotic ports in the world are located in Nigeria. Your goods can be stuck agonisingly for months, accumulating demurrage and extortion. Our neighbours also depend on imports but their ports are far more efficient. Government after government, nothing has changed. Now, don’t let us even talk about exports. We say we want to promote non-oil exports, but it would have been easier for my great grandmother to pronounce “cushion chair” than for you to export a bag of ginger. We can’t import. We can’t export. Absurd!

Four, we owe pensioners N30,000 and pay N200 million severance to fat cats. After you have been governor (minister, commissioner or whatever) for four or eight years and stolen billions and bought up all the houses in Dubai and Grenada, you will still get a severance pay running into hundreds of millions – as well as a pension package that includes a mansion in the state capital and another in Abuja, with three new cars every three years — in addition to cooks, gardeners, drivers and all what not. Yet a retiree who served for 35 years (and is now treating diabetes and hypertension) is owed a pension as little as N30,000 a month! What kind of society is this? This is one of the most unbelievable things about Nigeria. Man to man is so unjust, in the words of Bob Marley. Wicked!

Five, we collect so much biometric info but millions of crimes remain unresolved. The government captures our fingerprints in at least seven ways, namely: (1) voter registration (2) driving licence (3) SIM registration (4) BVN (5) national ID (6) pension verification and (7) integrated personnel and payroll information system (IPPIS). There is every chance that the government has the key biometric information on robbers, murderers, kidnappers and terrorists. In advanced societies, this is a huge bank for security agencies to resolve crimes. In Nigeria, the SIM card info is about the only thing that police find useful – and that is to track kidnappers. Pray, does the police force of the world’s largest black nation even have a modern forensic lab? We are just collecting biometric data for fun. Baffling!

Six, we have multiple security desks at international airports. I must first acknowledge that after decades of complaints, the security agents at check-in counters of international airports no longer require you to open your suitcases for inspection. They now do that with scanning machines. This has reduced the stress. However, it is a thing of shame that two officials – one from the Department of State Services (DSS) and the other from the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) – still have to check your travel documents at the points of departure and arrival. This is a waste of time and personnel. I travel quite a lot and I must confess that Nigeria is the only country that does this. In nearby Ghana, only one immigration official checks your documents. Isn’t NIS also a security agency? Shallow!

Seven, political cases always get priority in court. In a country that cares about the lives of its citizens, the justice system will no doubt prioritise issues that affect them. In Nigeria, though, it is always political cases that get quickly dispensed with by the courts. Politicians are enjoying everything at our expense. Two courts can grant different injunctions on the same issue within one hour of each other. But thousands of human rights cases that will benefit ordinary Nigerians will go on for decades untouched and unresolved. There are thousands awaiting trial and vegetating in police cells and prisons all over Nigeria. Courts keep adjourning. Let a politician bring a frivolous case asking for the opponent to be disqualified and the court will sit and decide same day. Mindless!

Eight, some Nigerian missions abroad are a big disgrace. Have you tried calling the Nigerian high commission in the UK recently? There are eight numbers listed on the website but none is working. It either doesn’t ring or nobody picks. What does it take to answer phone calls? You can even create a call centre in Nigeria to be answering calls on behalf of our missions abroad. We will be creating jobs for young people as a result. I can understand if it is difficult for us to invent a telephone — that requires some IQ. But take phone calls? How simple can things get? Phone calls, of course, are the least of the complaints. To apply for a passport is not something you want to do at some of our foreign missions. Well, your foreign mission is only a reflection of your country. Shameful!

Nine, we outsource bureaucratic work to rent collectors. One of the biggest scams producing overnight billionaires is the menace of “commission agents” — they do what government agencies were set up to do and end up collecting outrageous commissions. One company was to collect $2.15 billion to help us “calculate” arrears from oil production sharing contracts (PSCs). All the information is with FIRS, NNPC and DPR. For using their calculators, the agents were to pocket over $2 billion in a country that does not have drugs in public hospitals! Somebody else is waiting to be paid $3.2 billion for helping states “calculate” Paris Club refunds. A private company was pocketing billions for doing a “secure anchorage” job on the high seas — a clear mandate of the Nigerian Navy. Fraudulent!

Ten, FEC meeting is always about awarding contracts. When you hear that 10 million children are out of school, you would think that this is what the next federal executive council (FEC) meeting would spend hours on, discussing the tragedy and working out policy responses. You are deceiving yourself. When the meeting is over, the press conference is all about announcing contract awards. This has been the shameful tradition since 1999. Can you imagine the cabinet of any serious country announcing at the end of its meeting that it has just approved the award of contracts to supply trashcans to the capital city? We have done that before! FEC is all about contracts, contracts and more contracts! These things look little but they say a lot about the quality of thinking. Tragic!

This list is by no means exhaustive, so you are free to add yours. Back to my question: most of these things look so simple to address, but why are we not making the necessary changes? For instance, what is so difficult about making sure C of O is issued seamlessly to unlock the endless economic benefits — if not that something is wrong with us? Why do we need to pay anybody billions to calculate Paris Club debts due to states and councils or how much oil companies owe in PSC arrears — if not that we are a bunch of unpatriotic people? Why should giving incentives to SMEs — so that we can tackle our huge unemployment burden — be such a big deal? If we can’t help them, must we hurt them? Is it an IQ problem? Or wickedness? Or blindness? Or plain incompetence? Unbelievable!

Caution: if you read this article and think I am suggesting that the Nigerian case is hopeless, then you are not reading between the lines. In fact, these are the things that give me hope: that it does not take much to make Nigeria a better place for the citizens. Just very simple things. Little tweaks here and there. All we need do is use our brains and put the interest of the country above other considerations. There is nothing I have listed here that will require an Albert Einstein or a Lee Kwan Yew to do. It is just common sense. Bits and pieces that can move mountains. And herein lies my unbreakable optimism: that someday, we will have the much-desired competent and patriotic leadership with the simple understanding that changing Nigeria is not rocket science. Hopeful.

AND FOUR OTHER THINGS

CODE OF MISCONDUCT

Mallam Danladi Umar, the chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), has been caught in a storm after a viral video appeared to show him assaulting a security guard. I have read accounts, including an official statement from the CCT, and I must say every bit is disgusting. Is it the suggestion that Umar was too big to be asked to obey parking rules? Or the disturbing ethnically charged use of “Biafran” in an official communication from a federal government official? Or the assault on grammar in the press statement? In a civilised society, Umar should have quit or the national assembly would have started the process of removing him by now. But this is Nigeria. Sigh.

YOU’RE ON CAMERA

The Lagos government has equipped its law-enforcement agencies with body cameras in yet another first among Nigerian states. According to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the body cam is intended for use to enhance safety as well as increase transparency and accountability in the activities of the agencies. However, I see a situation where if properly managed, the body cams can go beyond the intended purpose by also providing footages that can help resolve some issues, including robbery and missing persons. Lagos plans to deploy digital tools for security operations across the state. Since 1999, Lagos has always shown an appetite for innovation and modernisation. Kudos.

SILENCING SOLUDO

Prof Chukwuma Soludo, one of Nigeria’s leading lights, narrowly escaped death on Wednesday when gunmen attacked him at a town hall meeting as he prepared to launch his governorship campaign in Anambra state. Am I surprised? No. The Nigerian political culture is steeped in violence. One of the requirements to be a Nigerian politician is to have your own armed thugs and militias — both for offensive and defensive purposes. It is that bad. There is something fundamentally wrong with us in Nigeria. It is so sad that three policemen were killed by the assailants but we have to be thankful that Soludo is still alive. I hope Soludo will not be intimidated out of the race. Courage.

FFK AND THE JAB

Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, former minister of aviation, is a known COVID vaccine conspiracy theorist. He had consistently advocated against taking it — in the belief that Bill Gates had something evil in his mind against Africans. Surprisingly, he has changed his mind and taken the jab. Rather than disparage him, I think we should commend him for being honest and open about his change of mind. Even President Donald Trump took the jab, despite the stance of his eccentric followers. Some of these pastors and governors pretending to be anti-vaccine have probably flown to Dubai and taken the jab secretly while their gullible followers will continue to worship and defend them. Hypocrisy.

Car Talk / Re: Help- Vsa/caution Light On 08 Honda Pilot by waseun007: 1:33pm On Feb 20, 2021
Whynow:
Dont listen to any one who says pull out bulb. Its is very simple, because i had same issue and fixed it on my 2005 honda pilot EXL. Vehicle stabity assist ie VSA is the traction control in time when the car senses skidding or slipping or even doing a fast bend. I am oferta sure you have worked or changed a part of your steering feature, suspension , abs sensors e.t.c
When the VSA Light is stable on your dash means something is wrong with the system. Or have you tried pressing the vsa button close to cruise control by left driver knee side. If the button is not doing anything, then we have to do a sensor neutralisation with only honda hds and no other tool.
You have to do a VSA sensor memorisation neutralisation using only Honda diagnostic software and no other tool to fix.
I bought a honda diagnostic tool called HIM which i use to scan and fix My problems. i bought it abt 30k from ebay.
i can help you scan and fix it...
I am a DIY ....do it yourself kinda person and a working class person
But pray its not your abs vsa pump, which rarely fail
boss please come to my rescue,i also have this same issue, how can we meet
