In as much as I am against a man laying a finger on any lady, the kind of razor mouth some ladies have, it will only take a real man to walk away.

If a bigger and stronger man dish out worse insults on you, you won't think twice before leaving with
your tails between your leg.
People only care about "razor mouth" when they have the upper hand in strength and can get away
with it.

Oga in 2017 when she recently got the building

What nonsense is this?
If you have already concluded that she got the building, what's the point of asking more questions.
There is no evidence that she "got" the building.
She never claimed to own any building.

she was posting it all over SM that she’s hardworking even though she was born in a silver spoon.

Posting the pictures of one's office on SM is not a crime.
Whether the poster is from a poor or rich background is irrelevant.

Do you purposely decide to forget this one or what?

Forget what?
What you wrote up there are irrelevant arguments unbefitting of even kids.
If posting pictures of an office location makes one the owner, I suppose you
would be the owner of multiple-choice properties by now.
Here is another one for you, many banks operate on rented properties despite occupying the whole building.

cucumbae:
Let's say she is a tenant of that building.How much is the annual rent of that full building for one tenant in abuja.?

Irrelevant question.

However, the issue at hand is the ownership of the building and not the rent.
The whole building is said to be worth 800 million Naira
so we can conclude that the rent is less than that.

If you want to know the annual rent, you should contact the building agent or ask
Ude the pathological liar to help you out.

This was the same script used to defeat Mimiko's candidate.
He was called unprintable names as the new Governor Aketi reportedly
cleared all the debt.

Now, the same government can't pay arrears and everyone is ignoring the
fact that the state civil service is too large a burden to bear.

And the cycle continues.

Post a link to a reputable source where she claimed to own the building.

Nigeria is cursed I have always said it..if you watch well the hawks all feasting on the nddc are all already wealthy individuals ..but they won't allow money meant for developing the niger delta to be utilised effectively...

I just don't know what to say..NDDC and all other government parastatals should be privatised and given to private companies to run..we need new fresh heads with an economic mind set to run these organisations..

Nigeria is cursed..

There is no way nigeria is not cursed..

After your successful coup and purging of the old guards, what next?
Well, from experience, you would start stockpiling your own dollars in swiss accounts.
A coup is actually a worse solution.

Tobex4realTobex234:
My girl was trying to download a source file yesterday and it was about 1.4GB. She didn't even ask me before she started doing it and it made me reflect on some economics.

Years back, 200MB was about N1000, today 1k (which is weaker) can get you 1.5GB on MTN. (I'm on HyNetflex 800GB at 90k for 6 months, which means I'm even paying like N112.5 for 1GB)

The citizens are generally poorer, but MTN is now richer selling at reduced prices (with more competition). Most things have remained worse in terms of infrastructure and economy.

I can't tell if you are criticizing MTN for being richer since it is a normal expectation that successful companies will be rich.

MTN is not very good for us, because they still ship their profits back to SA. But this illustration shows an economic advantage that building has.
[q/uote]
Can you explain further?
Is our Telecom industry better off with MTN?
The answer to the above is all that matters.

I wouldn't want a foreign country to bar my business from moving legitimately earned profit to a different destination.
One of the hallmarks of an economically free nation is the n.
Moreover, we tend to avoid the real reason why many foreign investors flee with their money.
Despite the freedom of America's markets, foreign investors prefer to reinvest than withdraw their capitals.
This is because they know that a change in government is less likely to destroy their wealth as opposed to
Nigeria where a new government's rhetorics and spontaneous populist actions can put capitals at risk.

[quote]Imagine if we had a functional cotton factory in Kano and a Zara production house in Aba. Zara will even be shipping some things from Nigeria. I've bought several clothings from Zara U.S that were made in Morocco.

We don't really need an "X" company unless it can compete on its own without government subsidy.

As of today, there is no evidence that a cotton factory in Kano will actually be profitable.
This will change when private investors can set up factories and make a profit.
The lack of investment drive is also not helped by the fact that the government keep creating
easy money avenue for high-income earners who will prefer the safety of government-affiliated
enterprise to the risky but more profitable private enterprise.

This is a very clear example on how increasing our productive capacity will be better for the country at large. When it comes to data, N1000 today can get you 10 times what it got you several years ago. It doesn't matter if the N1000 has devalued, depreciated or whatever, you can simply get more value for it now.

You are right.

Imagine this is replicated for food, clothing e.t.c We won't have this much craze about USD because you will obviously have a lot more disposable income, and can afford 10 times more than you used to.

Not quite.
The problem with the economy is that it can't be dictated at least not for the long-term.
The attempt to control a particular sector often produce

The transformation of the telecom industry happened because the government largely
allowed free-market competition. If we are to make headway in other sectors, the government
must be committed to allowing the markets to dictate its own direction with strong protective legislation.

I got into a debate with a self-described veteran businessman the other day who berates the government
for not fixing the price of DSTV subscriptions. All attempts to explain that price-fixing is bad for the industry
fell on deaf ears. I suppose a politician who campaigns on halving subscription price will get many votes.

Imagine if the government has been spending billions to prop up Nitel/M-tel which ordinarily can't compete.
We will be far behind today and still be struggling with basic telecom service.

Also, we tend to see the demand for USD as a huge problem when it isn't.
If our exchange rate is liberalized, a market-determined rate will make
many local productions more feasible in the long-run as higher prices of
imported goods will help offset the high local production costs.

As it now, the CBN is indirectly encouraging imports by lowering the
cost of import via artificial exchange rates. Yet, we complain about
unemployment.

1 USD could exchange for #1000 and we can still have a functional and growing
economy with decreasing unemployment. Though we have to sacrifice a lot in
the short term.

thesicilian:
ASUU is as much to blame as the federal government for the decay of the universities. They are the chief embezzlers of the funds meant for the running of the schools.

Neither ASUU nor the state of the Universities responsible for the outflow of students.
Most migrate for a better life and not for better universities or education.
I have seen some of these foreign-educated students and can't see any difference in t

China and India have various top local schools but their elite and middle children
who can afford foreign education prefer US schools.

You just have to understand that it is normal for a country to have an advantage in an area
regardless of the efforts of others.

Do Nigerian tertiary education need improvement?
Yes.
But that is a separate issue as to why students prefer foreign education.

It makes me sick coz I can fathom why?
You can't deal with anybody online again... You can't differentiate who is real anymore. Kilode?
I wonder if things we ever get better. When youth keep scamming each other.
O Sun Mi... Any business I try online... I see there logic and go off cuz mo ti wise.

That is not how crime works.
Before you get to 60%, as a well-to-do person, you can't leave your home without first paying a ransom
and have to move around with multiple armed escorts.
Even 10% will be highly problematic.

Surprised he made the marriage a secret, since he shows everything on the Internet

The "marriage" was for business fraud purposes.
He couldn't reveal his methods online.

sharpman1:
LOL.

1. A programmer will make more than $5k monthly by far.
2. Even if he makes only $5k monthly........$5k in US will go much more than N500k in Nigeria and he will save more than he will ever save in Nigeria.
3. Forget how much he makes in Nigeria.......this country na suffer.

What is really important is for him to leave legally if the opportunity comes because if he plans to be an illegal immigrant he will be jumping from a frying pan to fire.

Not on a similar income.
You can save much more in Nigeria than any western country.

Sebastine1994:
let us reason together

assuming this man aborted this baby as a foetus will society have termed it murder

but now the baby is four years old it called murder?

some dump day old baby in gutters to die, is it murder

some kill and flush the dead baby?

when does life start and what do we call murder

I believe every D&C doctor is a murder


judging by this criteria every lady who has done an abortion is a murderer

Kid reasoning.

Magu is an advocate of indefinite detention.
I expected him to see "reasons" for his own treatment.

Spineless politicians.
They only go to the extreme for personal gains and not for the good of the country.

COMPAQ:
They are the cheapest because they incur loses which government pays for. Which in turns means less money for infrastructure, education and health. Do we need 15k people to produce and sell stamps?? In this day and age of email, e signatures, scan etc?

I don't believe that figure.

And not forgetting Osinbajo....He needs to also clear his name!!!


Quote me all you want...But you see Osinbajo he's a thief until proven otherwise by a competent court of law!!

You are clearly an illiterate.
Courts don't prove people to be innocent or guilty.

Jobs my foot.
Transferring paltry free money to people isn't the same as a job.

Illiterate OP.
Well, comprehension is not that easy for some people.

For the fools who claim one Nigeria.

Nigeria is rooted in genocide, rape, fraud and other atrocities. It can never go forward.

So is Japan, Germany, and modern Russia.
Now I see why half education is dangerous.

Like the niggur above said....it is better to be a toilet washer plus night corpse washer in Canada than a free citizen in Nigeria

Anyway, I do 3D art and stuff. Contact me for stuff like this. Its entirely modelled with a 3d program. DM me

That is the poverty in you speaking.
Immediately you cross some wealth line, you will start valuing more
abstract rights that money can't buy.

St. Kitts exists to habour criminals, looters and tax dodgers all over the world.
With a few million, you can buy their citizenship.

Nonsense.
That means schools will be shut forever because it will never be safe again.
The world has changed and the government must accept reality.

It seems this official doesn't understand what they are dealing with.

Children and young adults are largely immune to Coronavirus
but the clueless government allows unrestricted adult movement
while locking down the safer kids.

Crispels:
Bro, God will bless you for this comment sir. Many Nigerians try to justify fraud too often. I’ve met people from Niger, Chad, Gambia,South Sudan and countries that are way worse than Nigeria in every aspect but these people will never think about cybercrime no matter the circumstances. But the average Nigerian is desperate to buy Benz, live lavishly and turn around to blame the government after he is caught for committing fraud. How many Americans or Europeans live lavish lifestyles? Until we start having a national conversation on instilling honesty and integrity in our people - blaming corrupt politicians won’t solve this problem.

I’ve seen many Nigerians with green card in the US who instead of working to earn a living chose to engage in credit card fraud. Is it political corruption that made them to do that? It’s sheer greed, desperation and impatience. People only try to use that as an excuse. The underlying problem is greed, criminal mindset and impatience.

You got it.
To many Nigerians, they think to have corrupt politicians means
a license to commit any kind of crime and feel justified.

The irony is that the same set of people who defends fraudsters also mete out jungle justice
against suspects who are supposedly victims of corrupt politicians themselves.

It seems their value judgment depends on whether they see themselves as victims of a particular criminal.

ExAngel007:
The minister said federal schools would remain
closed until it is safe to reopen them.

Nonsense.
That means forever because it will never be safe.

adelove1914:
Funny isn't it?so if I as a lecturer sees a student and I fall in love with her and she also does too..I have done something wrong?There are lots of lecturers married to their former students..There is nothing wrong with that as long as it is mutual consent between both parties..You can find love anywhere.

This yeye law can't stand and it is nothing but total rubbish

The law was designed to prevent you from harassing or raping your student.
The senators know that you can hide under the "she agreed to it" lie.
Now, any sexual relationship between a lecturer and student is effectively a sexual harassment
and will land you in jail.

Try your luck and see if it is "total rubbish".

2012?

Zendinho:
In as much as I CONDEMN RAPE AND RAPISTS in totality, we must learn not to associate every death or attack of the female folks to rape else INNOCENT souls will be wasted on suspicion.

While people who steal foods and petty things are regularly roasted, I am yet to read of a case where
a suspected rapist is killed by a mob.
In this case, there is even no suspect, to begin with.
So, what are you afraid of?

quote author=Xisnin post=91521987]

I didn't excuse fraud all I'm saying is that fraud is just one of the numerous anti social vices ascribed to Nigerians in the international arena.[/quote]You are wrong.
No nationality is excluded from applying to a job because of some random social vice.
Businesses are built to make a profit and not pander to some social sentiments.
You seem not to grasp the reality. It is not that Nigerians will not be employed,
they were expressly banned from applying.
The thing that instinctively come to the mind of foreigners is "Nigerian prince" aka fraud.
It is the butt of joke by people who have no idea where Nigeria is located on the map or
how the people survive.

You just proved my point "a rude, incompetent and inconsistent employee [b]may be tolerated", minimum international standard not talking internally the quote is generally NOT acceptable.
[quote]I didn't prove any of your points.
I listed some generic undesirable employee attributes and show that they are
better than being seen as a fraudster especially in a business where employees deal
directly with money and good. I never said those were the characteristics of
an average Nigerian worker abroad.

[quote]When Nigeria export this character you described they expect a handshake but over there it's a big NO! NO!!

You seem to be particularly hateful of Nigerians.
Do you have any evidence to show that Nigerian workers abroad behave poorly than others?
I have not seen any such. The problem Nigerians faces is being known as fraudsters, otherwise
they are good workers as far as I know.

I do NOT support internet fraud and will never support such there is no excuse for crime, if anyone do the crime and it's proved beyond reasonable doubt then the person should also do the time. The corrupt breed of our leaders is not an excuse for crime however that do not mean that in analysing public policy discuss that the government should be left out of blame.

Internet fraud is not a public policy, it is a crime.
The criminals are 100% responsible for their choices.
Nothing proves that point than the criminals who supposedly escape from a shithole
and landed in Canadian and American paradise only to become big time criminals.

Like I said internet fraud is just one of the numerous anti social vices ascribed to Nigerians and a strong odor

There is no strong odor. And fraud is more important in business dealings than
boss-employee relationship.

Nigerians are no more discriminated against than other colored immigrants.

that Nigerians in dispora have to put in extra effort more than other national in a bid to distinguish himself/herself from the average idea of who a Nigerian is ( from the measurement and the lens of a foreign national of who the average Nigerian is)[/b]

Nigerian abroad put in extra effort because that is what is required to progress beyond average.
Why would anyone hire a stranger at the same rate with similar productivity as natives who may require
further investment to fit within the organization?

For example, Nigerian earn a higher average income than native-born Americans.
That isn't what is expected of a group with a supposedly strong odor and the worst social vices.

loneprof:
Talking about the source of Nigeria's problem isn't the same as defending crime. Most of you have a problem with comprehension due to your very low IQ. Should we keep blaming hushpuppy? How would that solve anything here? Why insult someone for airing his opinion?

Your reasoning is like that of the random uneducated and unenlighted illiterates on the street.
To them, every social problem exists because of "the government" or corruption.
If only the money is shared equally.. If onlys and many other if onlys.

So you aren't, particularly in a bright group.

In case you are confused about the meaning of your words, you think hushpuppies are not to blame
but the "root cause".

There are many ''hushpuppies'' in Nigeria and there will continue to be if we don't address the root cause. Tell me how many countries you hear the news of their government stealing billions of dollars on a daily basis, money that is meant to develop the economy and create opportunities? I don't trust your brain to understand where I'm coming from, so I'll just stop here.

Whatever the out of touch social theorists claim, there will always be criminals as there have always been.

It is the responsibility of the government to make the price of crime so high that the alternative is the default and preferred choice.

Afghan warlords were said to be the result of "systemic" issues and won't go away until it is addressed. But the so-called warlords and their induced instability disappeared with the emergence of the Taliban. Now the country is ungovernable under the thumb of the "root cause" uncle Sam.

We were also told how Philipinos' drug problems root causes must be addressed or it would get worse. But Duterte showed that the old incentive and punishment system works wonders when applied unemotionally. Now, the root and cause theorist are talking about tyranny and disregarding the progress made.

Similar principles bring about the descent of the African American communities. All of their economic and social indices were improving until some smart Alec under the strain of "white guilt" started excusing the behavior of criminals and blaming all their community ills on generation of "exploitation".

Suddenly, the black criminals who are actually in the minority are no longer responsible for their actions. They are victims and the society and history of oppression are responsible for their actions. Shoplift, rob and murder? No problem, it is not the criminal's fault.
If only the government did ....(fill in the gap). This they maintain despite being no evidence in biology and psychology that human
society should be crime-free.

I mean for the first time in world history, these do-gooders invented a community where there would not be criminals if not for the past "exploiters" action.
The effect is clear to all today. The black community is worse off in all indices of human development compared to other groups.

Unfortunately, those who promoted the destructive policy just like you are doing now are largely insulated from the consequences of their action.

Have you even thought about what it means to address the "root cause"?
You, your children, grand and great-grands are unlikely to see any positive change in their lifetime as consequence-free crimes
attract more participants.

You are essentially saying that until you get rid of the current "looters" and somehow install saints, we should accept the fraudster image. Until the condition is perfect, we must endure every negative effect that fraudsters bring on us all.

Since I have been having this discussion, I am yet to be given an example of a society that has developed by searching for phantom "sources" to address rather than solve their real problems in the most efficient way.

The system that has worked for thousands of years for stamping out anti-social behavior still works because it is ingrained in our psyche. We don't need feel-good theories that externalize responsibility and have never produced positive result in real stressed and resource-starved societies.

VirginFinder:
How does a man rape 2 girls at the same time

It is either the girls gave consent to have a three-some or he got an assistant to help in the rape.

Age of consent is 11, by the way.

Aren't you tired of these stupid arguments?
The funny thing is that you have no idea how the age of consent is interpreted
in practice.

Your pedophile friend will rot in jail.

flames01:
It's obvious people like Xisnin are so many on this forum

Don't fool yourself.
Ask the random illiterate on the street and they will blame the government or corruption
for all social ills.
You are actually in a majority company, you are just frustrated because those who could reason
beyond blame, games can also defend their position.
Though I sympathize with you and your ilk because it is been observed that communication
barrier among people with different thinking capacity can be as great as those between different species.

They reason in the most absurd manner and you will find yourself wondering how and why they end up with their brain block.

The question is whether you can reason at all?

It looks like the only thing they have learned in life is how to speak english and after that, nothing.

I suppose you are describing yourself.
Perhaps you are inspired by various fraudsters and their blame games.
