PoliticsRe: Importers To Receive Vehicles At Near Locations – Customs by yakbauer: 10:59am On Jan 18, 2017
Good idea, but that 30 day period before demorage is charged is too short for a start. Even the PRO stated that "if the seller is lucky" that's not good. To put a law that'll affect ppl who are lucky
FamilyRe: My Wife Is Driving Me Crazy??? Getting Frustrated Here by yakbauer: 5:59pm On Jan 03, 2017
Bros you're on a tight leash here oh, I think you've taken the right steps so far, my only addition is to talk a lot less, & just act, d more u talk the more arguments you'll have.
Just to add, this might seem like a bad idea, but there's this short video clip I saw about "vitamin NO" which needs to be administered in regular doses. Once in a while deny her some "wants" but try to ensure she gets all her "needs".
I hope she changes, cheers
FamilyRe: Lady Donates Her Kidney To Her Mother As A Christmas Gift To Her (pics) by yakbauer: 6:33am On Dec 27, 2016
This post in my opinion is morally off for some reasons:
- If you intended to donate ur kidney to ur mum it would've happened whether or not it was on Xmas day, it was a time sensitive operation, so stop tagging it an Xmas gift
- why tell the world what you feel you did for ur mum when many more ppl do it for strangers without putting it up on social media?
- what's most annoying is the so-called "certificate of honour" she was given for "donating her kidney to her mother", can you imagine how many certificates her mother would have if she where to get one for every life saving act she did till the girl got to her current age?
RomanceRe: Signs Of Immaturity In Marriage FOR MEN... by yakbauer: 3:46pm On Dec 01, 2016
I'm sorry OP I beg to differ with ur opinions.
To start with It's easy to give guidelines like these if you're either a single guy or a lady (any female; single, married, widow, divorcee, old, young).
Just have it in mind that no 2 marriages are ever the same, coz human beings differ even identical twins have different characters, so there's no single comprehensive formula, esp when it comes to dealing with women.
An aggrieved husband just needs to find the most effective way to "communicate" his grievances.
For some women it's not to eat their food, for some not talk, for some it's to call her and sit her down and tell her, in some extreme cases it's to hit her( for the record I'm not in support of that) and I know some ladies who "like getting physical" during confrontations.
This "communication" as a solution should be explained a bit more.
If you've observed my opinions are based strictly on marriages coz one thing I know for sure is that dating, being engaged, cohabiting does not and will never translate to marriage.

Car TalkRe: Is The New Tinted Permit Still Active? by yakbauer: 6:54am On Nov 10, 2016
I haven't been to that site in a long time but I think it's not the FRSC that should be telling u, it's the Nigerian police that will tell u if it's still valid or not, last time I checked police almost everywhere I have been to now know about the new tint permit and have been asking for it.
It's safer to do it, get the printout, when u go to the police for biometrics and they say it's no more valid, fine u walk away.
Foreign AffairsRe: Two women narrate their first experience with racism following Trump's win by yakbauer: 6:49am On Nov 10, 2016
Well, Tbh they can't say they didn't see this coming, trump just tapped into the sentiments of the typical white ignorant American, if he doesn't do anything to address it in his first 100 days, in summary "na die una dey oh".
I can bet police shootings of blacks will also increase. Come to think of it he's no different from our Nigerian politicians who tap into tribal/religious sentiments to sway voters.
Car TalkPros And Cons between toyota 4 Runner And Mitsubishi Pajero by yakbauer(op): 3:03pm On Oct 31, 2016
Hello all,
I currently use a Toyota 4runner 2006 model, and quite frankly I've enjoyed it because of the terrain in which I work and reside, rugged high clearance vehicles like this is best.
But I want to upgrade, the truth is this recession is biting hard on all fronts and I'm tempted to consider other high clearance SUVs which I consider just as rugged.
Pls I need professional advise on the Pajero, will it give me the same durability or close to that of the 4runner?
Kindly consider maintenance. I've made research on fuel economy and they're just about the same for V6 engines.
Thanks
FamilyRe: How Do I Handle A Toxic Bullying Adult Child? by yakbauer: 8:00am On Oct 24, 2016
Mummy, I doubt there's anyone who's in a better position to handle parenting like you.
So far you and daddy have played your part as parents to ensure ur children get the best. If not your other kids would've been just as bad or close, but they are successful.
Ppl asking u to open a business should realise that the person u described with wreck the business.
Those asking u to drive him outta your house obviously haven't encountered such problems with their own kids (if at all they're even parents). A better solution would be to rent him his own place, like others suggested.
There's A guy whose news was all over NL last month for scamming some high profile politicians using bishop Matthew Kukah's name. He's actually the only son of a late renowned bishop. I know a colleague who's stayed with this guy before and confirmed his character. After his father's death he sold his house that's located in a high brow area in Kaduna for a paltry sum.
His dad even almost disowned him, all of this still didn't help.
All I'm saying is, there's no textbook that provides a solution to this kind of problem, my advise is to tow the religious line.
I know you'll say you've been praying, but PUSH (Pray Until Sth Happens) never lose faith.

PoliticsRe: What Is The Difference Between A Director General And Executive Secretary by yakbauer: 5:28pm On Sep 27, 2016
I stand to be corrected but to the best of my knowledge, DG is used in agencies that use the common civil service format of promotion to the rank of directors, while an agency that is headed by ES does not have directors, or should I say they have managers which are equivalent to directors, their method of promotion (by ranks) is not like the conventional civil service .
Elders in civil service Can help shed some more light. Good topic by the way, very enlightening

PoliticsRe: Recession: 3 Nigerian National Assets Buhari Must Not Sell- RMAFC by yakbauer: 3:25pm On Sep 23, 2016
Thank you for an unbiased/objective view, unfortunately most ppl lack that here
Reference:
The privatisation of the power sector has more than served its purpose. The problems bedevelling it are as clear as crystal compared to say 5 years ago. There is complete transparency and accountability across the board. And as they often say a problem understood is half solved. The only factor outstanding in my opinion is to bridge the mammoth funding gap. This will take some time to navigate but is not helped by the government and its attitude towards the energy sector and its general handling of the economy. If power in the short term is to be solved then the government will have to rethink its participation in the gas sector as well. It is only government that can be so daft to flood the power pool with assets requiring constant gas supply without a plan for gas supply. These are the kinds of thinkers and methodmen the citizens want to continue in the business of providing social infrastructure. Can it happen to a private man, no.

Will Shell buy a gas turbine and instal it with no idea of where and how to get gas and how to transmit the power to consumers. Will you, yes you build a factory with no idea of how to get raw materials to make stuff and no means of getting the stuff to market simply because your wife had a brainwave of an idea. Even Dangote, the lightning rod for the asset debacle is building a refinery and by extension a power station near where the raw materials are and where the market is. What is a gas power plant doing in Kogi state. Does Kogi state have gas. Why isn't Dangote building his refinery in Kano, his home state. This is why government the world over is worst placed in taking business decisions and should not be taking them and should relinquish any means by which it is taking them right now.
PoliticsRe: Recession: 3 Nigerian National Assets Buhari Must Not Sell- RMAFC by yakbauer: 3:20pm On Sep 23, 2016
NNPC and NLNG I don't support, but refineries I fully support, coz the refineries have been running on negative since only God knows when.
It's a pity a lot of ppl on this forum will b biased but in my opinion the refineries will b a liability immediately Dangote's refinery becomes fully operational, it's capacity will be 650,000bpd while the combined capacity of all the govt owned refineries at optimum production is 450,000bpd. I said optimum, which has not been since the 90s.
And Buhari thought he would be able to do that, which was even one of his campaign highlights "to fix the refineries" but obviously it's not achievable coz the corruption at civil service level cannot be eradicated instantly
The refineries are obsolete, their parts will have to be fabricated coz most cannot be found in the mkt. Trust Nigerians, give that contract to NNPC and watch ppl become billionaires overnight.
Just in case most of us do not know the refineries do not generate enough to even pay staff, they have to get support from NPDC, this is just to pay staff oh.
Those scared of their jobs shouldn't be, they'll all be reassigned to other SBUs , most of the casual staff have already been relieved. But if the refineries are sold with an efficient regulator supervising their activities, there will b more jobs, mostly casual though, the refineries will b run better, since it'll b strictly for profit, the more they sell the more tax the govt gets, and cost of renovation is totally in the hands of the buyers.
On the other hand NLNG has been working quite well, profits and logistics on point, although not perfect, but I can confidently say it's the best model we've had,(i stand to be corrected) because the govt is not in total control.
NNPC however shouldn't be sold because of their stakes in other SBUs, the govt needs a single unit that commercially deals in JV contracts, oil and gas exploration etc.
But like I usually say, this is just my take on this Sha.

Bossmd:
Haba bros....we no thief anybody keyboard make dem no contribute na cheesy

In fact I don't even consider Huawei and Xiaomi China phones.....I put those two in the same range with Samsung, HTC, and Sony. Since they also use Qualcomm and Snapdragon Processors. It's those phones that use MTK chips I place as China phones.

Huawei phones are really solid. Have you seen their
Ascend Mate 8?
Yrs
Yeah I have oh, I it's also sleek, base storage of 64GB, 4GB ram, latest Android 6.0, it was even fair in price (167k) as at 3 months ago, but now wey Naira dey free fall, I'm sure it'll b up to 200k.
I want to try iPhone 6S plus, I'm so attached to my BlackBerry Z30 but I have to drop it coz BlackBerry is going extinct faster than asteroids destroyed dinosaurs
PhonesRe: Is Buying And Using Iphone In Nigeria A Waste Of Fund Or Wise Venture? by yakbauer: 2:12pm On Sep 03, 2016
Bossmd & greenhulk, na only una get this thread, Haba?
Anyways I'm enjoying ur convo it's enlightening
It's really hard to strike a balance btw price and functionality, I dropped Samsung since S3, waited for them to improve on their battery, but even at s6, they still haven't.
Greenhulk, if you're waiting for iPhone 7, trust me it's not worth the hype, pls take some time to watch a YouTube video of what it looks like. Apart from the missing audio jack and slight picture quality improvements (which most ppl won't notice), I was disappointed.
It's closer to 6s than 6s is to 6, the camera , even aesthetically 6S is better looking than 7.
I'm also waiting for iPhone 7, but after watching some videos and reviews I just don't see the need to wait, to buy when I can just get the 6S which is now cheaper.
About Chinese phones, Infinix, techno and gionee are no go areas, but trust me China phones get levels, Haba u tried Huawei or Xiaomin, well I'm yet to hold a Xiaomin, but I'm currently using Huawei accent mate 7, and it's totally worth it, very good competitor with HTC, Sony, but not Samsung Sha, but way better battery life.

I literally hate novels, but just when I thought I was reading someone's ordeals, I was on chapter 4, it was then it dawned on me that it was MrsExplorer's piece.
Reading it, one easily gets immersed and that to me is the yardstick to measure a good piece. I don't know how it's gonna end and I really don't care for now, I'll just go with the flow and hope it ends with a climax.
Also love the cover photo. Good work

IslamRe: My Hijab Experience by yakbauer: 11:36am On Aug 12, 2016
First I must say Jazakhillau Khairan, and also make same prayers to your parents, because if they hadn't stepped up to their responsibilities it would have been harder for you as u grew older.
The world has been influenced by immorality and there is fear that "westernization" will creep into Islam like it did to Christianity. Unfortunately this is a painful fact, coz the idea now is "you're not exposed if you're not exposed". Like exposing ones nudity also exposes ones brains.
Pls don't hesitate to do to your children what your parents did to u. I personally don't buy the idea of democracy when running a house, if sth is right according to Qur'an and Sunnah don't seek the consent of the child to implement.
Once again thanks for this inspiring write-up, and that of others too
