What are you saying ? Did you read what I wrote?

I saw what you wrote alright, I understand the safety component. If you want what works, don't do that especially when it gives you away.

Be bold and intentional about it.

If clandestine equipment even better.

Dskillful:
Some people are behaving like they have extra life somewhere or in their savings account. If Police stops you just stop and present the necessary documents required of you. Be very diplomatic because they are holding gun, some of those police men are trigger happy if they kill you before justice will be served, your family will be thrown into mourning. No drag with person wey hold gun, just be diplomatic and leave the place in peace.

Is it not even better they do that until there are no civilians to police so that they become the civilians.

This is why I like the French, any nonsense from governments and the likes, revolutions straight, lols.

Sleekfingers:



If you want to record them , record them discreetly. Even their PRO said it. It is for your own safety. But una no dey hear word.

If you do that you will most likely be preyed upon, hold it firm from the get go.

It's an audit instrument all parties involved are captured.

CodeTemplar:
why was he recording them?

Why does he need a reason to keep a visual journal?

This speaks to the so much self erosion we are suffering as humans being citizens of this country.

Even if it were law, you mean you would trust people that often resort to "their words against yours"?

Don't be afraid to step up to law enforcement when the need arises. Civilians make up that force, none, I say none was born a soldier, I would leave it at that.

Kingpele:
Pride goes before a fall.... he could stopped and let the organisers fix the problem then come back to finish the contract he was obliged to honour...

F pride, F fall, some falls are necessary not because of the sufferer is in the wrong, some pride can be necessary as one must understand their value and service not become slaves to externals simply.

Nazgul:
I said this on a similar thread.

Nigeria generates less than 5,000 mega watts and you're expecting NEPA to sustain 20 hours of electricity supply for Band A customers? That's impossible.

They would never be able to meet up with that target, and the customers are the ones who would be on the receiving end cos they'll be paying through their noses for darkness. No thanks to the incompetence of the Discos.

But darkness is free...

The concept of luxurious darkness is bewildering to me, 😆🤣

bionixs:
Who cares . When Nigerians are ready to be free , we shall know . They are busy picking from where their leaders left off. Choking the live out of themselves.

Everyone has denied that dollar wasn't the issue because it has been a bit stable now. Wicked people everywhere. Even Mama kunle that hawks pure water wants to become Mrs Alakija or Obi Cubana from few satchets she sells .

Thank God she can't afford Canada. She and her likes should continue to destroy this nation. Shebi na for their heads e go still collapse

In addition to that, crude oil value has been appreciating and returning to near normal range so the budget (if backed by the dollar or quoted as that) would appreciate in value.

Nazgul:
For were...I bought 5 alive (Pulpy) N1,200 yesterday. Something that used to be around N800 when $ was N1,900. The price really shocked me.

It is still funny to me how I always remember pulpy to be N300 regardless of the increases, all because these increases happened so fast, so quick to much too.

MrMcJay:
This guy is in the US.
Is this how he refers to American Law enforcement over there?

How many times does American Law waste resources on least priority things like this?

Something a mobile court could probably handle...

When trillions are going into the wrong pockets and for the wrong reason?

BondRiv:
The miserable life the IMF, WEF and others want.

Worse than that...

They want to lock everyone under loans... So that it becomes inevitable to live without loans...

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
We should just boycott the national grid and switch to solar power supply.

After generating, let them chop the megawatts.

We have abundant natural gas supplies and oil rigs are still flaring methane as we speak

We have abundant crude oil supplies with millions of barrels being lifted per day.




We have water bodies for HEP generation yet Bulaba wants us to smell pepper before we can have power.

Azi gbakwa!

In addition to that, we have resources to produce the more superior battery technology, Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, yet I won't be surprised if we would be getting it at premium compared to countries that don't have the resource...

What perplexes me with all these lies is that, our export is enough to meet substantial demand worldwide but you'll hear barefaced lies like we have too much demand that exceeds supply...

Some places need consistent thunder ⚡⚡⚡.

usmanktg2:

Yes, it is a Natural Resource, but you need Investment to extract it, not faith.

So why doesn't NERC take advantage of the gas wastage going on. The extraction cost is paid for through another related process already, yet there's gross unwillingness to stop gas flaring.


Don't you see how government rather burdens it's citizenry so that a few benefactors cum capitalist enjoy, than to invests the nations wealth for more prosperity, just look at Norway, why are clear logical steps to improvements rocket science in this clime, why?

If the average monthly earnings is NGN1.78m or above why not?.

As at 2021, data I gathered suggested an average Nigerian NEEDED at least NGN 1.3m monthly for modest living, nothing fancy, just modest living.

So going by the trending inflation a few years after that, that figure will invariably now be NGN 2.6m monthly and above.

I found it quite funny that alot of people were clowning labour lead Ajero when he mentioned the 1m figure as minimum wage... You guys think the figure heads in this country really care going by their actions? Something the masses should have taken seriously....

With all things being the same that figure was perfect, achieve the wage figure, worry about inflation later, that should be government's job. If the inflation increases again, keep on raising the wages commensurately until sense return to their dome to regulate the economy better.

With the same seriousness banks look after their money, or greedy politicians parading the Nigerian halls of power should be the same seriousness the Nigerian citizen takes their welfare and ensure commensurate and equal amount of service paid for no mincing of words or laxity.

wirinet:
This is why Buhari refused to float the Naira even with IMF pressure. Tinubu caved for power.
Listen to Buhari here in his interview with Aljazeera. He explained why he was going against the IMF and their call for him to float the Naira. He even got visibly angry in this video when cautioned against opposing the IMF.

His successor who needed power and International validation so he had to go with the IMF instruction. That's why the Subsidy removal and the floating of the Naira were done before he had a cabinet or economic team.
This is SAP (Structural Adjustment Programme) II. Buhari knew Nigeria wouldn't survive another SAP.

I find it hard to understand how all the brains and elite economists entrusted with power in the country couldn't see that this is an obvious enslavement of a whole people, subjection of a whole nation's integrity meant to be protected to every other countries' citizen and majorly the west, infact everybody...

I don't understand how a currency value that was once higher than pounds is now way way lesser than 1/1000 th of same currency (it's almost comical, like how did that happen, how bad did things have to go to justify the currency being that low from its former position?) and all the big brain economist the country could muster allowed this?

Well, well, well, whatever they see they get... at this point am just watching how the incoming chaos will ensue because it will surely happen, it will be interesting to watch whatever it is...

..whether it would be that the currency reaches one-millionth of dollar so that everyone can brag about buy a bottle of pepsi for NGN100,000 so that the resources put to print the money itself will then become more valuable that the product being bought,

Ooh, ooh, maybe we will start counting our budgets in quintillions, while theft will be in quadrillions and kidnappers and bandit be asking for ransom in the trillions...

CandidAdmin:
If this was a criteria for good leadership(that's if they didn't know it was one), many Nigerians will woefully FAIL!

You see that plantain ehn, before I even start frying it, I don put one for mouth.

I would argue that some sampling is necessary for destructive testing for the sake of quality control.

Some people over do it Sha, lols 🤣...

Kobicove:


If you hit intentionally hit someone he/she has a right to kill you while defending himself!

I don't think you are considering proportionality of force and the capacity to take one's self out of the situation where possible.

There are instances where what you said can be true, however it is not true for a whole lot of situations, at least that violence level is not commonplace else it will become barbarian living real quick...

If someone didn't know the context, one would think you were referring to mosquitoes or something...

I'm dedicating this FTC to Victor Osimhen.

I would actually like to know how that inflation figure is reached because I believe a more realistic inflation value would be around 200 - 400 %, upwards even, if adjusted based on volume of observed nation's average total expenditure/exchange of goods and services. I believe our inflation values are either being under reported or misrepresented.

Angelfrost:


An average Nigerian is at greater risk of dying from mild sickness due to inflation.

This is one of the worst and bizarre stats across the universe... Only war-torn nations have such a situation.

As poor and globally unacceptable as the healthcare facilities are in this country, many citizens still can't afford them currently.

What's crazy is that when Falz mentioned this on CNN a few years back I think around the protest period, that was true, even moreso just last week when we were seeing antibiotics quoted 4-8X their initial prices the week prior.


We looking at ...

Unaffordable education
Unaffordable transportation (that is considering periodic earnings)
Unaffordable feeding

And now medical care is looking even more unaffordable.

CoronaVirusPro:
Bunkum and balderdash!

The financial times UK should also tell us about the hardship being faced by UK citizens! Oh! They feel we don't know that inflation is biting harder than never before, and a housing crisis fvckin their country from the butthole?

Anyways, His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is aware about the statistics and making frantic efforts to steer the economy on a growth path. Nigerians do not need a foreign entity battling with its own problems, to notify us.

Everyone knows the UK survives by taxes, perks of being a global financial hub, and that is even more important to them even as they exert benefits of their empire and colonial links, so not so much news there.

The juicier news is that a country whose currency value was more than the aforementioned empire has allowed its currency to be devalued to 1/1200th of that empire's currency's value within say at least 60 years, continually, while NOT lacking the natural resources the UK relies on taxes and multilateral agreements for.

That data coming out of Nigeria is continually saying that law abiding, working Nigerians are worth less and are less Nigerian than their terrorist counterparts.

And that to live a normal life, one has to be a stinkingly rich Nigerian, or a non- Nigerian (either in earning capacity or through and through non Nigerian)

youngrichnigga:
The funny thing is that most of these loan sharks are partly owned and funded by the same politicians who have over the years pauperized the average Nigerians with bad policy implementation as well as institutionalized corruption.
God will certainly give us a leader to deliver Nigerians sooner than later

There are quite a handful of Chinese ones too.

Musty4ahmed1:
. Pls which business can generate that revenue in Nigeria? That is Palmcredit they are criminals I wonder why the regulatory agencies have not lock their offices up and shot them out of the country. How on earth can a sane person pay for such exploitative interest rate?

They can post 10,000% if they want. But that you with open eyes and without coercion (mind you persuasion, or convincing from marketing doesn't count except the marketing was dubious) agreed to it made the business happen and hands have been shaken on written business contract that you agreed to (when you clicked on "agree" even after seeing the interest rate they posted.

That fault is not theirs.

You can not agree on a contract and after you have enjoyed the part that served you, then RENEGADE or ABANDON it when it was time for you to fulfill your end. There is no place where that is allowed, even you will not allow it because it is injustice to one party. If you're finding it hard to repay, that one is understandable, the next solution-driven step is to make effort and a plan to repay it and execute the said plan.

If you want to kick them out of business, honor your end of the contract to clear your name from the credits bureaus and make it a point of importance not to ever entertain a loan from them untill the interest is something you can afford.

Loans and desperation (like one caused by your country economics) is not a good combination. You should have planned, drawn out projections not only to cover the loan but to survive repaying the loan and after completing the loan repayment.

magoo10:
funny enough this is not the right time to take loans except you have more than three times or more the amount of loan to be taken. the loan can be used as a floating capital.

the uncertainties in this emilokan fire brigade economy is just too high and risky.

When I tell people this, they think I'm insane untill they see the numbers.

Firstly, one should take loans only when they are sure to pay back or need it for endeavours that ensure the loans can be paid back, even better when the return that pays back the loan is multiple times over. With that one alone no money lender will be posting crazy interest rates like these money lenders are doing... One will stand a better change to negotiate a better repayment interest rate when considering.

With this current combo, the loan cycle will be endless because in addition to hardship, earnings coming in isn't enough to even live off of talk less of repaying a loan of this nature.

Bigkoko:
FT should shut the fuvck up! Millions of household in UK can no longer put on their fridge due to high cost of electricity and dwindling fortunes. Asiwaju might not be a fit, but the UK is worse off!

After all, how many UK citizens can buy plane tickets? mchewwwwww

Between, the only regions feeling the hardship more than others is that side that has equal mix of christians, traditional & moslems adherents, thus causing some bit of religious confusion!

Na them stand for Asiwaju manhood. Na them complain pass. Elders, women, teens & agberos!

You are comparing UK that is looking for oil and gas supplies from other endowed countries like Ukraine and Russia in the European region to generate electricity?

What UK is experiencing is due to shortages and complexities that the war with those countries is causing.

Your Nigeria on the other hand is stupendously rich in countless things INCLUDING the oil, of which
shortages the UK is suffering from so much so that even other Nationalities, non Nigeria citizens enjoy your country beyond measure...

Your country is on a mission to enslave its citizens to any outside person with small money Incase you are unaware, the trend has been consistent for the past 35 years pure downward spiral, year in year out. (Bad for citizens, attractive to western and European investor due to better currency value)

Now we are a level where are going to be subject to loans to live (which is worse than the loan culture obtainable in the west btw), just to live O. Said loans are not even enough to start with. All high interest loans that are unaffordable on the long run for even business use. Working modest Nigerians cannot even afford to live off the naira they earn because it has been devalued like /4 (at least) within the last 4 years.

In case you don't understand, forget that they are using 21st tech apps to get loans, what this means in plain grammar is that...ALMOST ALL MIDDLE CLASS is borrowing to eat NOW. If that is middle class, then the poor are in limbo. I mean, do you think the poor will have phones or qualify for said loans?


Meaning, one needs to be RICH to live NORMAL in TODAY'S NIGERIA, there.... (Data and reality keep hitting you guys in your face and you guys turn a blind eye always year in year out)

This is why relocation is attractive because one DOESN'T NEED TO BE RICH to live NORMAL lives there, because an average job will do.

Normal countries are providing welfare packages to make sure their citizens are well fed, Nigeria is making sure that even when you have a decent job you have to BORROW to feed, not even for business o.

Where do you see consistent borrowing to feed (at cut throat interest rate) instead of business a something normal?

Infact, Nigeria by omission of treating bandits have made terrorism and terrorists a part of their government. They have allowed these bandit displace land owners and farmers, demand and collect Ransome, taxes, levies. In case you don't understand, Nigeria is telling you those terrorist are more Nigerian than any honest, law abiding Nigerian out there, that the FG government is tired of collecting taxes and using it judiciously hence you are allowed to pay taxes to Terrorist Governance. That the terrorist are upper-class citizens and you who is law abiding, honest and working Nigerian is low class and not worthy of the rights of a full Nigerian, a true son of the soil. That there is not an issue when the prices of the food you need for living increases because of those artificial taxes to the terrorist, why? Because everyone will contribute to cover the cost. That's what your country is telling you through the data you are turning a blind eye to.



When the student is ready the teacher will appear...

IVORY2009:
Though this is world wide, even the united kingdom is not left out, some claims it's as a result of the current war going on in Ukraine, but some aspect has to do with the Nigerian govt policies.

Our hardship in Nigeria is by far largely artificial don't be deceived by those news you hear about the war and the effect of its global inflation. Nigeria has the all that it takes to have been insulated but they have chosen to enslave their citizenry to outside western, European and colonial linked investors.

See, the schemes Nigeria is playing is to make her citizens poor and impoverished, dependent on loans like it is in the west yet unable to live of their jobs like it is in the west for their OWN citizen.

In addition to that, destroy the value of the Naira to make own citizen unable to get value while exposing great value to Western investors. Right now, even a small-timer with some dollars can take advantage because the Naira is in the gutters yet the citizens that have it cannot even afford it.

If you want to live a modest life in Nigeria right now as a single person, you are looking at at least NGN1.3 million.

I kept on thinking whether nobody within their team gives them sensible council...

Abokifx was only reporting rates, so are countless other sites.... If abokifx was going to be taken down wouldn't it makes sense to take down other sites including other financial sites, whether institutional or not, alongside (which is impossible by the way without a sh*tload of lawsuits).

Chee59:
Nigerians aren't good people.

Not just Nigerians, it's a human thing wherever in the world, maybe that of Nigerians is on steroids (depending on the ones you meet). The likelihood of that caveman behaviour is just a reflection of their immediate surroundings, society or upbringing depending on which one of them affected or influenced them greatly.

porthouse7:
I hate the idea of having a person bike man, I just call them randomly to get fuel for me

Yeah, I think about that too. The only disadvantage would be that if one of them decide just randomly on first meet that one is a worthy target your radius of investigative net would be wider.

In the military, they tend to have and orderly or batman/batmen as they were called. That way the search net is smaller, even if the the culprit decided to outsource the deed out, one perceptive enough could reasonably link 1 and 2 together and form a reasonable haunch (I'm not talking about just blindly accusing anyone, although there are ways the military police can get it out of them, lols)

I had already learnt this lesson while in Nursery school. It amazes me how I'm still able to remember virtually everything (even the perfume permeating the air et al) that transpired the day I decided to show a little kindness to a classmate because he said I should give him small. Brethens, I don't know if it was because of the Sunday school lessons of the previous Sunday or if it was the morning devotion that made me decided to test this show of kindness, I kid you not, till this day (in Deontay Wilder's voice), I will never forget the experience.

That was how one became two and I was almost mobbed, they wouldn't even let me eat my break food in peace because I was hungry too. Different guilt tripping emotional tactics to get from me what some turned out to have, some even came multiple times. If you didn't bulge, they go "ok, I won't be your friend again", and that's coming from someone who wasn't even my friend to begin with.

I ended up sharing it to everyone that wanted it, thinking they would be satisfied. I got the shocker of my then short life, lols. They cursed me out saying they didn't even get anything, people that just several seconds ago were just nibbling out my lunch like piranhas in an eating frenzy.

Of course I cried that not only did I get not to eat my lunch while hungry my self, but that even after helping they didn't acknowledge that I help them and cursed me out for it.

I was now hungry, traumatized (effing brutal something for a <4 year old, the things that were said? Hmm), got mobbed (they even mobbed off my flask and water bottle from my possession, lols) but also gained more enemies than friends (shit seemed to get worse the more I tried to explain and ask them didn't they remember when I cut for them just now?)

I learnt a great lesson that day about human psychology. Since that day, I see through everything, It won't matter if you use religion or blackmail to pyscho-babble your way. I will do what I intend to do strategically at all times with self preservation in mind. It pays to have a minimum amount of selfishness, especially if you haven't stood well and are considering rendering help.

[quote author=Oloki post=124149304][/quote]

The arrangement we have is we buy the meters, registered in the landlord's name, so obviously we can't leave with it and he has to subtract that value and expenses from the next rent payment.

I think that may be better than buying the meter and registering in your name at a location that isn't permanent because if you move it may not be so easy to reintegrate it at your new location, it could be same state but will it be the same line? I usually hear of line/tarrif A, B and C.
Will it also be the same EDC? Heck you new location might even be a different state.

I don't really know how it is done, so I am spit-balling here, contact your nearest EDC for better advice.
