Why not quote me with this one..using two account at the same time..

Why have Ukraine not gone down as you said three Sundays ago..
I asked you to place a bet but you couldn't..all cos of your fear..

You are a clown..prove me wrong that you ain't..

With close to 4 million refugees in Europe and another 6 million displaced from their homes and then with the destruction of cities and infrastructures that took decades if not centuries to build and you still insist Ukraine has not gone down?

I don't know why some of you are anarchists that feed on human misery and pain.

Igbofam:
You are putting the cart before the horse. Stable electricity first which would in turn drive industrialization. This would create a massive need for a qualified workforce (be they practical or paper qualified as you put it)

The work force is already there, the condusive environment is what is missing.

Why do you think these same Nigerians relocate abroad to do same things Nigeria has not created a conducive environment for which in turn would have made it easier for them to stay in Nigeria?

Electricity first!

You still go not get me. Stable and reliable electricity is very expensive. Ask countries that have stable power how much they pay per KWh. Now how will nigeria, a country with minimum wage of N18,000 where more than 60% of the population is said to live on 1$ per day effort to pay N100/KWh? We need to increase peoples earning power to be able to afford electricity before we can start talking about development.

Igbofam:
Wrong. Tinubu is right in a way.

Without the government first GIVING to it's citizens and doing all they can to make them comfortable (in this case, the provision of steady electricity) then Patriotism would never come into play.

Patriotism comes as a result of what you have FIRST seen or experienced which you now want to adhere to as a Patriot or be patriotic to. It's like falling in love with a guy or girl because YOU FIRST saw the reason to.

Tinubu is right

I disagree with tinubu. Even though he is right that electricity is crucial for economic development, it is not the most important. The most important impediment for national development is manpower. By manpower I mean practical education that provides the necessary knowledge and skills for economic activities and production. Our universities and polythechnics chunning out paper graduates with no practical or employable skills cannot develop a nation. Even if the government generates 1000Gw of electricity, they will only use it to DSTV, YouTube and for play.
Besides generating, transmitting and distributing electricity is very expensive and most Nigerians cannot afford to pay the right price for electricity and hence many people, especially businesses bypass despite electricity still being subsidized by government.

With adequate sound technical education and skill, Nigerians in collaboration with government can find other power sources - Gas, solar, wind, hydro, etc. An innovative government can power gas that is being wasted to our homes and offices for us to use ti generate out own electricity.
There are many solutions to power, we just need innovative graduates and technicians.

yanabasee:
You are planning on getting married this year and you're still eating your mother's food......



Call your girl back, reconcile with her and move out of your mother's sight/house..... Rent a self/contain and start your life with her....


Don't ever lose a good woman oh..... I am telling you from experience.

Nothing more to add.

loswhite:
They will not call this one propaganda....lol. The US and NATO are not sending weapons in disguise... They have made it clear that they providing Ukraine with lethal weapons to defend themselves.

Sending weapons can't stop the war, it will only prolong and expand the war. The US and the rest of Europe should be acting as a mediator to try and bring Putin and Zelensky to the negotiating table.

The world cannot afford a prolonged war in Europe. Only the US would gain from a disabilized Europe.

Mickykarim:
Turn of event. I may not be reading this well. People in support of Russian aggression against another sovereign state. The world has just turned a MESS when people justify infringement on another. God help us all.

IT IS BECOMING DANGEROUS TO LIVE HERE, ALL SENSES ARE NOW LOST AND NO LONGER STRAIGHT. I MIGHT BE HEADED FOR THE MOON.

It's not that people are supporting Russian aggression, the fact is that people don't want to be dragged into a war between brothers. Let them resolve their problems themselves. Italy and the rest of Europe are yet to recover from covid induced economic recession, adding war to it would completely destroy the economy.

US that is fuelling the war by supplying weapons is thousands of miles away, the war will never affect them except it goes nuclear. Italy and Spain is just a few hundred miles away, so they would be directly be affected by the war if it expands. Millions of refugees alone would stretch the economy.

If them fight for a while, when dem tire of the consequences, dem go begin negotiate. Dem go look for who go separate dem. Na so fight between neighbours be.

AleAirHub:
Since the prepaid meter was installed in my house, I hardly use more than 30 units monthly at cost of NGN1080 via a Disco provider called PHED...

How? You bypass?

Rubyjade:
You cut your coat according to your size

No matter how you cut it, you cannot buy 2 batteries + 2.5kva inverter + solar panels (4 - 8 nos. 250kw panels) for N480k. And we have not even added cost of installation.

Two good 200ah deep cycle inverters alone would cost close to N480k

Rubyjade:
My family house we use prepaid, I introduced them to solar, they have not recharged the prepaid in the last 2yrs. The sun charge the panel and you get power.

The guy I was responding to did not include solar panels. You can not buy 2 batteries + 2.5kva inverter + solar panels (4 - 8 nos. 250kw panels) for N480k

Rubyjade:
What? If you do 40*12=480k that should get you 2.5kva with at least 2 batteries plus energy saving bulbs.

But the 2 batteries will not charge themselves, you will still pay for the electricity you use and the one to charge the batteries.

malakaimoscondo:
when u say zelensky didn't start the war... I know u are olodo

Zelensky changed the country's constitution to make NATO membership a must.

On 21 February 2019, the Constitution of Ukraine was amended, the norms on the strategic course of Ukraine for membership in the European Union and NATO are enshrined in the preamble of the Basic Law, three articles and transitional provisions.

brandsoncharlie:
At bolded that's what Ukraine is doing.

By dragging countries with no stake stake in the conflict into the war? What will the US or even UK gain by fighting a war with Russia on behalf of Ukraine?

murphyung:
If the time of the transaction matches her claim, it's game over for Mr nice

This case would be difficult to prove in a law court. No police report and no medical report. A torn cloth does not prove anything. The man can as well claim he paid her the N3000 for consensual sex after negotiations.

As per the case of the murder of Oluwabamise Ayankole, there would be evidence all over the bus. There would be DNA evidence and finger print evidence. There would even be blood evidence. The blood stains from the cutting of the organ would still be in the bus. (Even if it was cleaned, it can still be visible in uv light after treatment with luminol.

If Nigerian police are actually trained to investigate and detect crime, instead of protecting politicians and collecting bribe, this would be a very easy case.

brandsoncharlie:
You won't think about Nigeria getting electricity and removing those stupid junk leaders making you guys to queue under the scotching sun to buy fuel.
Will you allow a stranger to come and take possession of what belongs to you.

So because a stranger came and took possession of what belongs to me, I should endanger the whole city?

If a stranger came to my house or land and took possession of what belongs to me,I fight back using all means at my disposal. And if I cannot fight, I will beg people who knows the stranger to help me talk and negotiate with the stranger. But if the stranger is my brother with whom we used to live in the same house and speak the same language, I will speak directly to him to negotiate with him.

Wirinet

I tried reading the article but I am too tired to respond. Had a very hectic day. Just got home and need to eat and rest. Might respond to the article when feel better.

Nfora:
It is always good to consider common sense before vomiting rubbish comments.

Elective offices have constitutionally specified and guaranteed tenor, unlike political appointments ,that do not require any legal stress to appoint or hire anybody.

Does it make sense to you for all governors and legislators to resign now because of 2023 elections?

If a governor or legislator resigns, who takes over?

Indeed,common sense is not common

I agree that the constitution guarantees the tenor of elective officials, in the same vain the constitution guarantees the right of all Nigerians over a certain age to contest for any elective office. Furthermore the constitution forbids any sort discrimination. You might as well say single women are forbidden from contesting in party primaries unless they get married

Echoban:
So in ur conclusion all Governor's and deputy Governor seeking re-election should first of all resign from being an incubent before participating in primary election?? Just like saying Gov. Oyetola should resign before participating in the past primary..

So who would now be the Governor wen he resigned??

U now see why the law avoided Elected officer.

I also don't see the justification of demanding a political appointed to resign before contesting for primaries within his political party. You might as well ask all civil servant to resign before they also can contest primaries, as they all work under the executive. Why only target political appointees of the executive? If you say the election proper, I will agree but primaries is unfair. The political space should be widened instead of narrowing it. This law seem targeted at a few individuals to eliminate them from the primaries.

BIGDADDY000:
Hmm, POLITICS! although that's a how it suppose to be,

they should go and resign indeed if they want to hold a public offices.

But i trust that AUTOCRATIC MAN he will overrule their judgement as usual.

tHEY ARE HIS BOYS

If political appointed officers are to resign before seeking elections, why not the elected officers also. The senators, House members, governors and president should also resign so as not to have undue advantage. After all what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander.

All these can be solved by direct primaries.

omohayek:
This line of argument makes absolutely no sense. The USA has nearly as many nuclear warheads as Russia, while both the UK and France have over 200 each. In addition, the strategic triads of the 3 western countries are more secure than Russia's, as they have ultra-stealthy nuclear submarines that can launch their warheads from anywhere in the oceans. By launching a nuclear warhead against a NATO country, Putin would be just as surely signing the death warrant of himself and nearly every other Russian besides (as well as the deaths of billions across the world from nuclear winter). This is a reality both sides have understood perfectly well since the 1950s, which is why such threats by Putin carry next to no credibility in any policymaker's mind, even if they make for the sorts of hysterical headlines journalists know will drive traffic.

You're free to hate Zelensky as much as you like (though I don't understand why you harbor so much more hatred for him than for the man who launched an unecessary war that has already driven 2 million from their homes and slaughtered thousands), but the man is only doing his constitutional duty by appealing for help from any quarter he can to save his country. That's why he is so widely admired around the world, even by those who tell him they can't deliver what he's asking - because they understand what drives him to make such appeals. You might as well be ridiculing a mother wailing and begging bystanders to help them save her child who has been abducted by armed robbers - people with empathy can understand why the appeal is made even as they know it would be unreasonable to respond to it.

You are assuming Putin is rational or sane. The more he loses his grip on power the more irrational he will become. Have you not heard the adage "never argue with a mad man because people might not know the difference between you two".

Why I blame Zelensky is because he refused to talk to putin and then he was pursuing NATO membership too desperately. He even imput NATO membership into the constitution. He should be aware that this would really antagonise Putin. He doesn't understand international politics. Because of the sensitivity of Russia many countries in NATO would never allow Ukraine to join NATO. I never saw Germany voting to allow Ukraine into NATO and also putin had sworn that over his dead body would he allow Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO. Zelensky would have declared neutrality and putin would not have had an excuse to directly invade Ukraine.

IamGreen1:
You're minding him, rushing to social media to cry. I don't blame him but Ukrainians that make a clown their president instead of them to have advised him to face his comedy movies seriously.

His type of comedy is the dirty type. See Vladimir Zelensky playing piano with his dick in front of a live audience.

ZELENSKY: “Regarding NATO, I lost interest in this issue after we realized that NATO is not ready to accept Ukraine. The alliance is afraid of contradictory things and confrontation with the Russian Federation”

This Ukrainian Alibaba dey smoke loud. He wants NATO to confront Russia, a country with more than 6000 nuclear warheads, half pointed at Europe, the other half pointed at America, because of his ambition to remain in power.

A nuclear tipped missile will strike London in less than 15 minutes. The rest of Europe's NATO countries would even take less time.

McEphiks:
Na me and you deh share the tradition? Things have been modernised and people know this is keeping keeping away from marrying their daughters daughters they just sit in a small gathering, buy drink and bride bride Which is 120 naira. I've been in such meetings several times with my dad.

That's why I said I don't know where she hails from but as for my side, people Don get sense

You still don't get it. It's not about the amount but about the principle. Paying and accepting bride price means a marriage has taken place. That has been the meaning of bride price by all cultures from time immemorial. That bride price is legally recognised in our laws.
Are you paying the bride price for yourself or her irresponsible father?

Drsnives:
Na my fear be that, since shes still young b4 them go say make i lash her join

My broder, dem wan scam you like dem scam Joseph. When him wan marry Rachel, dem trick am marry Leah, because for dem culture younger sister no dey marry before older sister. After dem trick you marry mama with the same excuse that daughter no dey marry before pikin, dem go then give you condition to marry daughter.

Ryan03:
exactly. It is her father that is suppose to go and pay his wife's bride price so that he can collect his daughters own else, his daughters bride price will be paid to her mother's family. He is trying to make the boy provide the funds for his own wife's bride price. See shameless father

Thank you. And some people are trying to justify this shameless request.

deavicky:
see how ur mouth they sharp. If it is out of place they won't be asking for it.

It is out of place in a sane world to blackmail a prospective groom to pay bride price (marry) the mother of the bride, because the mother's lover (bride's father) was not responsible enough to marry the mother.

But then some cultures still belong to the Paleolithic age.

deavicky:
there will be no party it would just be the family people I bet u it won't cost up to 150k.

It's not about the money but the principle. Paying even N1 is morally wrong. So what happens if the mother wants to marry another man? They will have to return my bride price?

We must learn to start taking responsibility for our own decisions and actions. It's not the guy that asked the mother to have a child for a dead beat.

Bloggz74:
Yes the bride price has to be paid before that of her daughter commences.
That's the tradition.

However it's not you that has that responsibility but your father inlaw except you want to help out.

Watin consign the guy with the bride price of his father in law, except he wants to help shine her congo also?

Very stupid tradition.

delpee:
I don't see why her father's responsibility should be transferred to her husband for whatever reason. Someone from her father's family should pay.

Anyway, cultures differ.

Some cultures see anyone that want to marry their daughter as a host the whole family will parasite on.

Thats the most stupid thing I ever heard. A daughter's fiancee must carry out the responsibility of another irresponsible man who just hit and run.

Drsnives:
Then any of her family members should do the needful and not disturb me, haba.
Let's assume i should pay, what's next after that? I go come dea lash her too ni?

Gbam. If you are to pay bride , then you as groom must do what bride and groom do.

IrepChrist:
It will shock you to know...... Rape can result murder...... Stds, STIs and Hiv are silient killers and all are linked to sex. And unwanted pregnancy and abortion truncates a glorious future.
The thief cometh not yet but to kill, steal and to destroy.

The topic we are discussing is Premarital Sex and not rape, unless you define rape as premarital sex.

False premise that unwanted pregnancy and abortion truncates a glorious future. It's an unwanted child that is more likely to truncates a glorious future. Besides, there are millions of women who had unplanned babies when very young and went on to live very successful lives.

Also note an abortion when done early and by professionals is far safer than carrying a baby to term, especially in a country like Nigeria with an abysmally high maternal mortality rate.

NwaAmaikpe:




Do not shortchange yourself with this premarital sex nonsense.

Conji kills.
Have sex responsibly or just masturbate.

Excessive semen retention can make your scrotal sac so heavy and once the spring suspending the sac snaps because it's hydraulic release has not been serviced by frequent ejaculation....all hell will be let loose, sperm will flow into your artery and mix with oxygenated blood and get circulated round your body.

Sometimes the sperm gets to your lungs and even your ears, nostrils, your brain or it becomes the pus in the acne, boils and pimples on your skin.

Well, this is what my mom told me, that's why till this day, I always lick my catarrh just to taste it and be sure that it is not sperm coming out of my nostrils.

Dem no know say conji sef na weapon way devil take dey kill people. Conji dey increase risk of prostrate cancer in men. Conji dey make women psychologically unstable. Women wey men no dey toast dey wicked well well
Regular and healthy sex has lots of benefits for both body and mind.

IrepChrist:
It's one of the greatest weapon of the devil against the youths.

Murder is not the greatest weapon of the devil, corruption is not the greatest weapon of the devil, war is not the greatest weapon of the devil, na harmless sex between two consenting adults where no one is hurt that is the greatest weapon of the devil.

Religious fundamentalists are insane.
