CoronaVirusRelo:I am sorry to say, but you are exhibiting the usual "pulling down the ladder once I get to the top to prevent others from using the same ladder" syndrome. I am not sure whether it is hatred for other blacks like yourself or the love of white (European) supremacists that made you take their talking points. I am sure either you or close members of your family did not enter the US as a legal immigrant. You either went with a student visa or a visiting visa and then struggled for a green card and then passport. Why don't they talk of illegal Eastern or Western European immigrants? You mean to tell me there are no illegal European immigrants in the US? O I forgot, the Republicans prefers Norwegians to Mexicans or Nigerians. Me, I can never immigrate to the US. I got a 4 year visa in the 80s and only spend 3 weeks before leaving. But I do not quarrel with those who immigrate to the US or any other country for a better life. Humans (and animals too) had been immigrating since the beginning of life on earth. The first humans were speculated to come out of central/southern Africa and through immigration colonized the while world. Humans immigrate looking for better life - food, shelter, mate or in modern times money. And no force in the universe can stop that. Nigerians and other Africans still attempt to cross the Mediterranean in flimsy rafts and boats to get to Europe, despite thousands drowning at sea yearly and another thousands being killed and raped in war torn Libya. As long as their are wars, instability, poverty and lack of economic opportunities, people will immigrate to better places irrespective of risks and laws. The same thing happened in Europe during the 18th and 19th century when millions of Europeans emigrated to the Americas, Africa and Australia in search of better opportunities. |
Ecne:This is blackmail. And the blackmail is possible because the government allowed monopoly of the power sector. If the community is allowed to source their electricity from another company, would IKEDC be blackmailing people anyhow? It's like MTN treatening to cut off a customer because someone beat up their official. |
boogietrends:You should also advice electricity company personnels to stop violently disconnecting customers without justification or prior notice. The NERC guidelines forbids electricity company personnels from carrying ladder up and down disconnecting people without notice. |
Oizee:Which yeye job was he doing? Did you not read that the area did not have light for 3 weeks, and IKEDC brought brought estimated bill for just one week of electricity (even thought during the one week, there was still load shedding). All these problems could easily be solved by providing meters and stopping estimated billing. |
Navalsadiq:We black Africans are averse to research and knowledge. We are more spiritual and religious. Hence we have far more worship centres than research centres, libraries and museums, and thus spend all our time worshiping and little time researching. |
KenModi:I am not looking at it from only the biological perspective, I mentioned physiologically, psychologically and otherwise. How many children should the average woman have? 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?? In these hard times, it is sensible not to give birth to more than three kids. So you telling me a woman who starts giving birth in her 30s can’t have kids without issues before she reaches menopause? Really?You sound sexist. It's should be how many children should a family have and not just women. The number of children a woman should have does not entirely depend on the woman but on her family, most especially her husband. Now the number of children a family should have depends on the needs of the family, and believe me, it's does not depend mostly on family fortune. I have some billionaire friends who have only 2 children. Meanwhile there are some mechanics, petty traders and other low income earners who have 5 or more children. Secondly, are you saying women should get married and have kids irrespective of their financial ability to take of the kids because all they need to consider first is their age? There is a lot to having children than just age, you do know that.women had been getting married and having kids irrespective of financial ability since the time of Adam. In fact the fact that you have financial ability at the time of marriage does not guarantee financial ability throughout marriage. Most families have a period of financial instability. Even Bill Gates and Elon Musk got married before they achieved financial stability. What is more important than immediate financial ability as you call it is financial vision, financial planning, hard work and of course luck. When you marry a good, compatible and loving woman, instead of a slay mama, you can start from zero and end up a hero in a very short time. The two could complement each other to achieve great things. I advice us to encourage our daughters to reduce slaying in their younger years and get married and start a family, so that by 35 they are through with child bearing and can still pursue a career.From your comments it's obvious you don't have any kids. If you do, you would not belch out "it takes another 10 to 15 years to raise children before they are old enough find their own paths in life". Some children find their own path early and leave their parents before their 18th birthday, some are still dependent on their parents well into their 40s. The critical time for raising children is from birth until they start primary school. That is the time they need at least one of the parents the most. By the time they enter secondary school, they should be fairly independent (and I don't mean financially) to be able to take care if themselves. For the western world, children in universities are required to have some degree of financial autonomy by working part time. It's only in Nigeria that a university student would expect his or her parents to pay tuition fees, house rent, feeding money, cloth money, and everything else until he or she finishes master's or PhD. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. If you have kids and you are not financially capable or ready to take care of them, you would end up forfeiting the remaining part of you active years to raising those kids which means you would have to shelve a lot of your dreams and aspirations in order to cater for those kids. I have seen it over and over again.Even the Omotola Ekeinde we are talking about got married at about 18 years, birthed and raised 5 children, pursued a very successful career in acting and now at 42 her last born is 18 years. Would she have had such a successful life if she married at 35? My wife was 24 when I married her and by 32, after 3 children, we are through with child bearing. After our last born entered nursery school, she started a new career in baking. I opened an eatery outlet for her last year and she is doing really quite well despite the pandemic. |
Zeuslord:Bros, nothing is easy and lots of people are still putting things together despite the mess. Giving up is never an option. |
KenModi:I support her even though the assertion that "27 years old is a married woman in Europe" is not entirely correct. In feminist leaning Europe ladies enter their 30s or even 40s pursuing a career rather than a family. Having said that, I support that ladies should be encouraged to marry and have their children early. It makes family planning easier. When I say family planing, I mean not just about having children, but also planing for the children's education and wife's career. It should be considered that women are physiologically, psychologically and spiritually different from men. Women's biological clocks run faster than that of men. A woman getting married in her 30s has less than 20 years of child bearing left. Furthermore, a woman bearing children late 30s and 40s present extra risks both to mother and child. I advice us to encourage our daughters to reduce slaying in their younger years and get married and start a family, so that by 35 they are through with child bearing and can still pursue a career. |
obixcel:Meanwhile some guy did not know the difference between England, Great Britain and The UK, even when his mother is Scottish. "United Kingdom. Great respect. People call it Britain. They call it Great Britain. They used to call it England, different parts." - Donald Trump |
obixcel:And all solo press conference will put food on your table or pay your bills? A senile president that beat an alert incumbent president in two head to head presidential debates and went on to beat him with over 8 million votes in an election. A senile president that is taking proper actions ti solve the covid pandemic instead of an alert one that touts crazy miracle cures like hydroxychloroquine bleach and laser. |
Righteousness2:What of other evidences as written in Mark 16:17-18 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”Oya drink a whole bottle of sniper to show evidence of having the Holy spirit. |
feedthenation:Not in US democracy. Here a party (the republican party) could lose the popular votes by up to 60% of total votes cast and still win the presidential elections. Also in the legislative elections, majority does not necessarily win the Senate or house. California’s 39 million people get two senators in Washington, while two Senators also represent states like Wyoming (578,000 people), Vermont (626,000 people), and Alaska (737,000 people). In 2013, the New York Times pointed out that the six senators from California, Texas, and New York represented the same number of people as the 62 senators from the smallest 31 states. US style democracy put small populated rural states at huge advantage, while state with highly populated cities are highly underrepresented. |
basilico:But you believe the twice impeached character got over 57m? |
Romanoff:Then she should be more concerned about the upkeep and wellbeing of her own immediate family. What will she say if her husband sends money every months to his own parents while there are needs - school fees, house rents, utilities, medical fees, groceries, etc of the family.? I know families that as a working wife, the wife is responsible for the upkeep of both parents, even to their cable TV subscription, the hubby tends to other bills.She can do whatever she wants with her own money, but it's wrong to put the responsibility of the upkeep of her family on her husband. The man's family would not be ok with such arrangement. If he's buoyant enough to place his father in law on a allowance, I repeat that there's nothing wrong in it.If the wife's family wants to make the intending husband the sole provider for her entire family, they should have made the demand during the traditional wedding negotiations, so the man can know what he is in for. But, it is immoral to start making demands after collecting millions from the man all in the name of bride bride and wedding arrangements and then later demand he builds a house for her father and give him monthly salary. |
hardon1:You are wrong. Lots of people asking him to ignore the wife's family have passed through similar problems. It is not advisable to totally ignore you family or inlaws family irrespective of their behaviour. No one knows what tomorrow may breed.Bone that thing. It is when tomorrow comes and you need their help that you will realise they no send you. Most of us have been disappointed by people you helped thinking they would help you in return when you need their help. Once thing I perceive from this is that the poster loves his wife very much and that love that extends to her familySo because you love your wife, her family should use that to blackmail and extort money from you? Like someone said, put them on a stipend agreed by u and ur wife and stick to it... Don't be afraid to be termed stingy or wicked inlaw. They will always say but with time , they will adjust.Put them on stipend, why? Are they providing any service to you or your family? So her whole family will be sitting on their ass and be expecting monthly salary from me. What about stipends to my own father, mother, brothers and sisters? Don't they deserve monthly stipends from me also. What's so annoying is that a man is not only expected to provide comfort for their daughter, but but provide for her whole family also. All in the name of love. I wouldn't advise u blank them totally. Tomorrow is pregnantIf they are going to give you stress and heart attack, you blank them out completely. You only live once. |
pompeiimagnus:Hillary lost the elections because of poor strategic planning. She did little to court the support of Bennie Sanders and his supporters who felt betrayed in the primaries and she took the "blue wall states" of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania for granted. Instead of campaigning in these states, she was campaigning in red states she had little or no chance of winning. Even at that she received 48.2% of total votes, while Trump received 41.6%, which was still in the projected poll figures. |
basilico:And the 74m was enough to make him president? |
Oju4190:Why is he obliged to get him keke or Okada? Why did they not make that part of the bride requirements before accepting to give away their daughter. It smacks of dishonesty to start making making demands after collecting the bride price and other items. If he is required to buy keke for the wife's father, what of his own father and mother, what should he buy for them? Maybe he should buy Guy wagon for his own father as he owes much more to his father than his wife's father. |
badmusatari:Sorry for your predicament but you caused your own problems. Your wife's family problems is not your own responsibility, you can assist if you choose to, but they are not your responsibility. Did you not pay the complete bride of price? Did you not complete all the marriage demands? So what do you owe her family again? The problem is that it's you that spoilt them. You started out by being an ATM and they expect you to forever be an ATM. How come it's your responsibility to build house for her dad? Have you build a house for your own dad and mum, who toiled to make sure you went to school and became a success in life? What contributions has your wife's family contributed to your life? My wife's dad tried this shit with me, I played ball to for a couple of years, but when the stress became too much, I stopped and blocked his number and in fact all her family's number except her junior sister who is very reasonable. I told my wife that if she wants this marriage to succeed we must build our finances and lives together, because at the time 100% of the family expenses fell on my head. I could not take her own family responsibility as well. We did not see her father for 8 years. He only came to see his grand children about 2 months ago, and I apologized for all, but explained that I needed to build my family. We speak occasionally and he still ask for money, but this time with begging. A man must learn up to stand up for himself and his family. |
pompeiimagnus:Yes his supporters are massive, but not massive enough to win national elections. It's only massive enough to win elections in rural towns and villages populated with illiterate or semi illiterate white men. |
ChocolateWine:Is that not the exclusive preserve of you christians? You pick a few verses in isolation to support your belief or dogma, and then ignore all other verses that is contrary to your beliefs from the same bible, sometimes from the same chapter. This was what you claimed; Scientist have always claimed the earth was flat. When did the discover that it wasn't, is it not in the 17th century, when the Bible has said so thousands of years back.I called you out to name the scientists. You then post a Wikipedia article that was actually contrary to your claims. Now you change mouth with "at least there was a time when there was a believe in a flat Earth until a later time." So what? Millions of people still believe the earth is flat. Your claim was about scientists. You guys are so dishonest, it's hypocritical to claim to worship a holy and just god. |
ChocolateWine:You really need to go back to primary school to learn how to read. I am still wondering whether you cannot read or you cannot comprehend what you read. This is what your Wikipedia link says; The myth of the flat Earth, or the flat earth error, is a modern historical misconception that European scholars and educated people during the Middle Ages believed the Earth to be flat rather than spherical.So where in this articled proved that scientist believed in a flat Earth until recently as claimed by you? The Bible - Isa 40:22It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: And this his bible proof that the world is spherical? Ok where is the circle of the earth that we can find the Lord sitting? And what about the inhabitants that are as grasshoppers that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain? |
Emmadoc:Don't mind 21st century supposedly thinking man thinking like bronze age people. Man or should I say men traveled to the moon, just last week man landed a vehicle on Mars. Here we have people believing that a structure that barely was probably not higher than the pyramids and certainly not higher than mount everest got God to panic and out of fear destroyed it and scattered their language. |
ChocolateWine:Which fact? Which scientist said the world was flat? Name them. Where did the bible present proof that the world was round or spherical? The bible never presented itself as a book of science. That's a jacket people ignorant about science tries to fit it. |
ChocolateWine:I really feel sorry for people like you. You exude so much ignorance and helplessness that your only sense of self worth is some belief. You are incapable of thinking for your self, you are incapable of solving problems in your own life. You belief system makes you believe the solution to your life's problems lies with others or some external factors. This is why you are so exploited psychologically and materially. Please improve yourself, get better educated, get better skills, expend your mental energy on productive things that will improve yourself and those around you. You are too darn ignorant. |
ChocolateWine:There is so much ignorance here that I don't know how to respond. You probably never open a science textbook in your life. Bombs have been built since the discovery of gun powder. Nuclear power was used to make nuclear bomb not by the effort of one man but by thousands of the world's best scientists through the Manhattan project. Asteroid Apophis also called doomsday asteroid has a possibility of hitting the earth around 2068. If it does, it will wipe out most life on Earth, including humans. The west and other serious nations are already planing counter measures to avoid the collision. Meanwhile you guys are so ignorant and oblivious praying and speaking in tongues. |
ChocolateWine:And these are the issues that affect your existence the most, so you spend all your mental energy on them. Some people are more concerned with looking for vaccines to save mankind from viruses, others are looking for solutions to deflect asteroids from wiping out the world, others steal are looking for solution to climate change. You on the other hand is more obsessed with other people's sex lives. Talk about misplaced priority. |
brandsoncharlie:How is this related to the subject under discussion? Shouldn't the number of pentecostals speaking in tongues in hundreds of thousands of churches in nigeria everyday be enough to stop politicians sabotaging our country and provide electricity and all the good things of life? How come we are the most religious country in the world and at the same time the poorest? |
luckyjojo:So it's speaking in tongues that will open doors to opportunities and not skills, education and hard work? We will remain the poverty capital of the world for a very long time. Now tell me, how many people speak in tongues in Japan, Germany or Korea to make them some of the richest countries of the world? |
Jafaar:Where did the ex general get $1million which is about N400 million to dash apostle suleman? How much is the salary of a general? Even if the soldier entered service as a general, his total salary cannot be up to N400million in his 35 years of service. Pentecostals promoting stealing since the death of Christ. |
xaggar:Me I no know English o. You that understand engliah abeg helep me translate this sentence for pidgin; To own a solar unit, there will be the option of paying N4,000 monthly for three years. That translates to N144, 000 a unit. |
Simplyleo:500k ke? Your battery alone would cost more than 500k. Even if the ACs are 1hp, 2 ACs would be about 1600 watts, add 150watts for frigde and we are talking about 1750 watts, and we have not even considered other loads, lights,TVs,etc. We should be looking at a load of 2500watts. And since we are talking about ACs and freezers, you will need a pure sine wave inverter. Now the minimum inverter you can use is 5kva inverter. A good 5 kva pure sinewave inverter can cost between 300,000 to 500,000k Now your battery depends on your run time. For a run time of 6 hrs, you need nothing less than a 6000AH set up for 50% DOD. That's 30 200ah battery. At about N180,000 for a good 200ah battery, you can do the maths. We have not even considered the number of solar panels that can charge 30 200ah batteries. |
