ACF miss fire here, it's only in the south East that acquiring land is not allowed by stranger except you are an indigene of that state
ACF are still leaving in stone age.

Big fat lie. How do you make a comment like this. Haba. How could people promote what they have not experienced.

You can buy any land. I mean any land if you have the money in the east. Unless its a community land that dose not belong to an individual

Go anywhere in the east and say you want to buy land and see if they wont sell.

Stop making comment you cant substantiate. Haba.

This is no story. It is a free market driven by market forces. You can choose to import or refine locally. Market forces will drive competition otherwise we might be in another cement monopoly

The Peter Obi tsunami

Lol

Real politicians who played in the field keep recognizing the force that Obi pulled in 2023 and is still pulling.

Fayose: “Obi is an institution now”.

Jandor: “Obi tsunami swept PDP away in Lagos.”

But riffraffs will stay under their brown roofs in Ogbomoso and be foaming in the mouth.

Don’t worry, 2027, una go see the one wey Beatrice.

Finally, the God fathers of Nigerian politics got ahead and turned the detribalized progressive movement into the old but proven and effective wand that have held the people back for over 80 years- tribe, ethnicity and fear of the only friend, and neighbour you have none all your life from a different tribe..

The old tricks works always and can be relied upon. The politicians know its magic and will always use it to the detriment of the never decerning masses.

Archbishop Kaigama Kicks As Security Operatives Arrest Catholic Priest, Others Over Abuja Stampede

https://www.arise.tv/archbishop-kaigama-kicks-as-security-operatives-arrest-catholic-priest-others-over-abuja-stampede/

Nigeria is a quasi socialist state where people help alleviate the suffering of other Nigerians as the government continues to fail horribly to take up its responsibility but create the hardship. The intent of the group and individuals that organised these help events is the true Nigerian spirit to help, same is also the true Nigerian spirit to scamper for survival in the midst of obvious lack created by the governments.


The government created this jungle spirit, of survival of the fittest through the taking of our common resources leaving very little for the hungry many- which leads to things like this. We see it on our roads, and in everywhere resources or value are available. Nigerians scamper, even when they japa. The mentality really never leaves you. They take what they may never need because they never know when you will see the next..........even in food bank¹ The danger of this arrest of people who are doing what government should do, is that these organizations may become careful and restrained and not help because they never know how Nigerians will behave and the poverty deepens, people will not be helped. Afterall no body ever saw the distribution of the palliative that government said it gave to states.

Nigerian goverment through independence is the culprit. Yes. They are the one to be arrested as much as this present government that has further amplified the suffering by their policies and actions. Not the people who are trying to help or people who have been deprived and poor. Hunger make you an annimal. And no one should blame the people who died. The government created this scamper and hungry situation and mentality in the country. It's the government

Tooreda:




You also noticed how those unfortunate ones are celebrating up there. Those guys are irredeemable idiots.

Don't curse anyone They have a work to do and earn a living. And maybe they are truely convinced about the government. It's their right to be. Most people would charge their mind and promote the government if they benefit from it. Doyin Okupe is a classic example and many others. You can't criticise where you benefit from.

The onus is on dose who don't to stay the course and defend their commitment to good governance for all. And not to see good governance from the lenses of others, tribe, religion, greed etc but on their well being and that of their neighbours

She's a politician I believe she's saying what the UK people wants to hear.

The higher level, is getting the masses think and move in the direction you want them to. That is the ultimate test of great people, be they inventors, entertainers, politicians, faith leaders etc They don't follow the people, they lead them. The masses will oppose but ultimately the masses will follow his lead. And a new civilization will be birth

Cheap leaders and politician conform and are driven by the people, great leaders influence the people, lead them to great revolution and create new civilization. Which one is kemi

Truths9ja:


https://dailypost.ng/2024/12/15/i-dont-believe-in-god-anymore-kemi-badenoch/

This happens all the time.

When people are in need and desperate, they pray, fast and call on God for help. When they come to a place of comfort and the pressure to conform, become more acceptable by the people and integrated, they forget God.

I have seen kids do it to their parents, men do it to to their tribesmen, husband to wife, sister to brother and so on. The need to conform and be more acceptable. Lack self confidence and worth in who you are, regardless of what anyone thinks. I think people can appreciate Donald Trump....ot for anything more than the confidence to be himself and not be bullied to submission rather he stood his ground and made every other person conform.

It's easy to not belive in God when things are comfortable but most unlikely when thing go south. The increase in mental health, depression, suicide and emptiness seen in today's world results from the denial of God. Suddenly, the person finds the world and everything worthless, and wonder what all this is for and why living. Believing in God assures mental health, identity and bring deeper sence of peace.

But polygamy might be in various categories. One man marries three wifes . Another man marries one at a time but have divorced two. I guess both are polygamy. Look for any reason to divorce....any reason including we out grew each other, the children got btw us....and many more

MrBrownJay1:
and so?! i dont get where the problem is.
if someone offers you a job, if you dont want it, you say no and jejely walk the fukc out... but dont pretend that because children pay 200k for school fees, you can dictate how much you deserve as a teacher in that school. thats what the school is offering, take it or leave it! so you mean that if they were schooling for free, then you would also work for free?!

stop looking at other people's finances... in order to try to lift yourself up, as you dont know what they spend that money on:
- are you paying the rent for the building?
- are you paying the electricity/equipment used in that school?
- are you paying for the free food that these kids possibly get?
- are you paying for all the extracurricular outings and activities that these children learn?
- are you paying the salary of all the other staff and owners of that school?

Great response. Seems you own a business. Most comments are from people who do not understand the risk , challenges and dangers in owing and managing a business. They look at the bulk pack relative to their earning.in addition multiple taxation, higj interest on loans, maintenance cost, security, operstions cost etc..Maybe given the economic crunch perent may not always be early and complete with the fees

And gow about the government that was paying 30k. They ha e not implemented the 70k raise.

While I think employers to make better profit to share a bit more with employees, the issue isn't how much one earns, but how bad the economy is. People who earn $6k in North America live a decent life.

I weep for Nigeria. In a year this may go up to the actual value. This is gradual and phased introduction.

What is it, that Nigerian Government offers to its people. A Nigerian pays for everything.

What business is he involved in or did he start prior 1999 to validate the size of his wealth.

We can link Dangote to rice, sugar, then cement, pasta, banking etc...now oil and gas
Link Elumelu, Jim....... to banking
Abiola o Telecoms, food, sport etc
Adenuga to oil and ad exploration and communication. Banking
Otedola to oil and gas trading and banking

Although it coukd be argued that these guys significant benefited from government and government officials and corruption in some cases.....at least you can trace a business

Which did Tinubu start or is remotely d to him, that has done well to justify the size of his wealth

Has anybody asked this so called experts and promoters of the CNG message of the sustainability of this.

We dont have enough gas for power generation. Not enough for LPG. Most gas is from AG wells. Very limited NAG wells. No one is drilling has wells other than those mostly for LNG.

If we failed with petrol, we will fail a thousand times more should 30% of vehicles be converted to CNG.

The problem is neither petrol nor gas, the problem is exclusively istration and corruption in the sector and broader Nigeria..

This is expert opinion. You can ask any competent person in core oil and gas technical or commercial leadership position.

I am shocked surprised that this man can publish this blunt truth about his kins man without clearing whose ox is gored. I am not sure I have seen similar leaders of his kind from any part of the country with this courage to challenge his own without seeking for government patronage,,promote ethnic bigotry as seen in nairaland and ignore his people.

As if TINUBU needs anyone's vote to be president. He doesn't. He didn't in 2023, he probably wouldn't in 2027 that is evident in his actions. People vote didn't make him president so he owes no one anything.

How much was a lite of crude oil when GEJ was president? How much was a litre of imported petrol?

As we still dey import the thing, how much you expect fuel to cost now? Less than it cost over ten years ago?🤔

It got up to $130 per barrei today it's about 80$. Then subsidy removal would cost 87naira. Today at lower oil price per lit is over 1000naira

Very crapy transport organization. The bus stopped us on the way, in the middle of no way. People called their office multiple times no response. The driver was clueless on what to do.

Everyone scampered and hitch hiked any vehi les they.uld get and left the scene. People were dead frightened. Everyone concerned they could be kidnapped any comment.

I wondered how they could put that quality of bus on the road for a long distance trip.

Dynamicboss:
Let’s analyze here

Price of the fruit blender in Texas - N140,000

If I buy at this price and ship it via air to door delivery, delivery cost maybe up to N100,000

I need to pay customs duty fee up to N100,000

I need to pay staff plus maintenance cost and tax, let’s
say N90,000 to N100,000 sha from the proceed.

If I make profit of N200,000

The total amount should be N650,000

Now the supermarket is selling for N950,000.

Well the government officials are not far from the truth, people are extremely greedy in this country. Though, the same government making mouth, did they realise the cost of running business had hit the roof? Fuel is almost N1,000 which is affecting almost everything in the country.

Think about cost of capital at current interest rate of 35%
Cost of diesel
Cost of insurance
Have yiu considered rent
Hiw about impact of fx fluntuation that yiu need to anticipate and sell a bit higher than current fx, should.fx number move north when yiu are ready to make next import.

The loan, introduced by President Bola Tinubu, seeks to provide accessible financial aid to students who struggle to afford the rising costs of tuition and related expenses.

According to Ayitogo, “NELFUND sent a verification list to every eligible institution. Only those that responded are receiving funds. We have not yet received any responses from institutions in the South-East.”. He was quoted as saying “There is no consideration of geopolitical zones in disbursement.”

O pari. Senators and HOR from SE who toiled hard to get this law ed will be shocked beyond words!

It is now clear that nobody excluded the SE and Igbo. As a matter of fact, Patriotic Nigerians of Igbo extraction and other Nigerians studying in institutions located in the South-East are just victims of bad luck! . Their fellow Igbo kith and kin studying in other geopolitical zones made the list and had since been credited with the funds. Patriotic Nigerians of Igbo extraction studying outside Igboland, like others from other regions, are successful beneficiaries of this brilliant and patriotic initiative of the Asiwaju Tinubu Presidency.

Here is the lesson; when you hate, criminally defame and point accusing fingers at an innocent person, the remaining 4 fingers of illwind you wish others are pointing at you! You bless Nigeria, Nigeria will bless you, you curse Nigeria, Nigeria will curse you and your generations and nothing you sow in Nigeria or outside Nigeria will be blessed because the curse will follow you around!

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

There is no excuses for not including SE. I track this section of the country has not been in politics and everyone labelled them politically immature, they can't come together, they are not united, they have a lot to learn from the more politically matured North and west. Yet the only time a candidate from the south east made front page, they were now labelled hate, tribalism etc haba Nigeria. The success of the country might just lie in integrating th east and not victimising or antagonising them. They are true Nigerians making investment in nearly every region, speaking the language I their locals and marrying from that community or tribe

But go back to history, this section of the country voted massively for NPN, a northern dominated party, voted SDP for Abiola and massively voted Obasajo which the west did not vote for despite having candidates from Eastern region.

Anyway, they can be excluded as they have always been excluded from nearly all federal privileges. They have hardly had scholarship. If any understands the psychology of human stualization and development, this kind of thing makes a people stronger not weaker, it makes them more determined and desperate to succeed against all odds.

If you are in doubt....take a look at the country today. The SE has bearly been in control of power and resources ( zik was a ceremonial president. The power was with tafawa. Ironsi ruled for less than 6 months and mostly stabizing the country) yet they literally dominant the middle class with most per capital income per tribe. The North and West has been, though they produce perhaps the richest man but the masses in these regions are generally poorer.

This kind of behavior makes people stronger, braver and mkre determined to succeed. They have not always depended on FG. It dose make them weaker. They rose from the civil war, decimated and distroyed to control resource of the country way outside their territory making others insecure. This action continues to diminish petrotism and stoke the flame of division. At this rate Nigeria.may ultimately breakup and that might be the best for the country.

PALLIATIVES: LASG DISTRIBUTES ‘OUNJE EKO’ TO RELIGIOUS LEADERS IN LAGOS

In furtherance of its humanitarian intervention to cushion the effects of the harsh economy, the Lagos State Government, through the Ministry of Home Affairs, has commenced the distribution of 20, 000 food packs to Religious Leaders across the five divisions of the State.

Speaking to journalists during the presentation to Religious Leaders earlier today, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs, Mr. Adewunmi Ogunsanya stated that this action was a continuation of the State government’s intervention programme which cuts across all sectors in the State.

He noted that the Ministry has commenced the distribution of 20,000 food packs, which consist of 10kg Rice, 5kg Beans and 5kg Garri, to be given to all over 94 Associations of both the Christian Muslim communities in the State.

Ogunsanya explained that representatives of each religious group have been invited and they have started collecting the palliatives on behalf of the various associations.

According to the Permanent Secretary, the distribution has been decentralised so that 3000 packs of 'Ounje Eko’ will be distributed per day to each Religious body, adding that each division of the State will receive 500 packs each to be shared among its .

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Islam, Dr. Abdullahi Jebe hinted that the gesture from the State Government will go a long way to alleviate the effect of the present economic pressure on the religious communities, as food remains an essential part of man’s basic needs.

Similarly, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Christianity, Very Reverend Adebukola Adeleke noted that the State Government is sensitive to the plights of the Religious Leaders and their , hence the need for the distribution of the food palliatives to assuage the high cost of food in the markets.

The distribution, which commenced today, Wednesday will continue till Tuesday, 20th August, 2024.

Is this another knee jack one off reaction after which the people are on their own. Or is this a sustained help program designed to the people for the long run

I told you lot a few days ago, these extremists, criminals, some illegals are trouble. I called them out for their criminal behaviour and got attacked for it by some here.

Now, Muslim gangs are trying to attack anyone who disagrees with them, waving weapons around despite all the recent stabbings and terrorist attacks they've been responsible for. Religious extremists are always a threat, and you need to deal with them.

Look at Bangladesh, the military's taken over and Islamic extremists are burning Hindu temples. No one's saying a word. People need to stand up for our own and defend their homes from Invaders. The threat's real, and we can't ignore it.

The biggest problem we've got now is traitors and extremely woke liberals who think it's trendy to cuddle with terrorists.

Well, this is what happens when you let them flood into your country and do as they please. Notice how their ers never say a peep about it, but the minute you stand up to them or defend your own, they twist the whole story and scream 'racist' or 'Islamophobe'. It's a bloody disgrace.

I can't stop wondering why a set of people who out of empathy and pity were itted into another mans land_ leaving their war ravaged and impoverished country, come into another mans land to promote their religion and way of life which made them poor and ravaged by war.if your religion and way of life was that good, why are you not better in your country. Why are you no ahead??

They can go back to their land and oractice their religion and hate. I am sick of this kind of things.

These politicians have zero moral credit or stinct of ethical value. This guy was with LP until this government gave him a soft landing on his corruption cases.

I wish Nigerians should learn to ignore these men of fluid characters but learn to care about their interests away from tribe, religion, gender, greed sentimemts but they MUST not learn their moral bankruptcy

If Igbos don't learn from the past experience (1966 till date) they'll never learn anything.

A Niger deltan by name Kaduna Nzeogwu from Okpanam in Delta state led the 1966 coup but it was tag Igbo coup.
The recent one, Endsars protest was tag Igbo protest.
Pls Igbos don't protest against Tinubu if not some mischief makers will tag it Igbo protest to topple Tinubu government because Obi lost.

Very valid comment.

Meanwhile Stop! Nzeogwu is not Niger Deltan. He is purely Igbo. There is nothing like Niger Deltan. You are either Uroboh, ijaw, istekiri, isoko, igbo, bini, Esan, efik, anam, ibibio and maybe Ikwerre..etc

FromZeroToHero:
There's this school in my area that started in 2017 with a small bungalow. Before it was just a Nursery and primary school but as of today the building is already a 4 storey building because they now have both secondary school.

From the look of this building you will know that its a disaster waiting to happen. There are visible cracks around the building which they always use plaster and paint to cover. I want to report it to the appropriate authority but I don't know how to do so.


File Photo used for illustration

Failure of building is as much a failure of institutions, SON, COREN, NSE etc as it is the designers, engineers and owners of the properties.

Have you gone to the market to see the size of 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm and 25mm reinforcement rods compared to what it used to be. They can't the carrying capacity they are supposed to have. If you build houses you will know.

How about the cement.?? No one is validating the quality of these materials.

We use to have technical school to train carpenters and mason under the city and guide certificate??

The reference document for structural design is the British standard just like American pharmecubia and British pharmacobia for drug making. The specifications are there. When the structural engineer designs a building based on those spec. What you get in the market is different. Substandard. So the load bearing capacity is reduced and the building may fail

What about the govt agencies.?? When you send drawing for review, the agencies are more concerned about the money they want to collect from you than review the design. Once you pay, the drawing is approved the next day. What is qualification, experience and manpower capacity of these approving agencies.

Multiple taxation during building, economic challenges and bad behaviour of nigerians, so the owner cut corners since they may not have all the monies to meet these demands, engineer is handling multiples sites and only spend 5min and use a mason as fore man.............and the list goes on

This is complex nigeria problem.
