You have succeeded in making no point all you did was cast aspertion but failed to say where the bolt guy got it wrong

helinues:
Very good

The government are not just folding hands, they are doing something which we can all see but unfortunately some people deliberately decided not to see

Are you sure you read the article. You must have read only the headline and rush to comment. Please, get a life and stop this a** kissing

That song "mad over you" is below par for me - with that funny piano sound!

You know nothing

Samakus:


Had my wedding last Saturday, 19th October

Congratulations, your home is blessed.

Samakus:
Two months of my salary covers my annual rent.

Anyday my landlord increases it, I move.

Until I build my own

I believe you not married?

splendournoni:
I'm beginning to have issues with their products now... Got power bank before 6 months it was swollen, returned it now it's 5 months and still they haven't changed it for me

I'm sorry about your experience. My Oriamo I about roughly about 1 year 3 month ago is still serving me, I bought mine from their official website. At the time I was in between buying Oriamo, Itel and Anker (I believe that is the name)

gofigurena:
Please, note all the cars are claimed to be toks, not Nigerian used. All the pictures are for demonstration purposes except the White Infiniti G35 Sport- that's the actual car.

This your selection of car have the way it is except for say the Cross Tour and maybe Acura (which is a sweet ride but technical know how will be an issue)

If you a skilled mechanic by all means I will say you can buy any car on your list but if you not a mechanic and you do not have anyone oversea to ship in parts for you (the both of them) please stay clear from the list except perhaps the cross Tour because Nigeria mechanic will frustrate your enemy, its not like you have own/driven car for long, its your first car.


I understand the need for standing out which is good but if I may recommend car for you I will say you should go for 2014 Honda Accord FULL OPTION (dual screen, side mirror camera or a model year higher depending on your budget) or you can go for 2014 Honda CRV or ML 350 2010. I see you a classic man, any of these rides have class and good degree of reliability

PEACE2023:
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, this article is based on my personal experience.

I work with a High profile federal government parastatal with good remuneration.

We were 100 that was employed in 2013 drawing from South and North.
We have been promoted 3 times and expecting another promotion.

But something is disturbing me as a Southerner from South East.
About 25 persons from my set have resigned and relocated abroad. Only 2 are still in Nigeria.

It is more shocking that this 25 persons are all from the South. Either South West or South East or South South.

My fear is the implications when our set will get to the pick.
No northerner had resigned or thinking of reg as at today.

The future implications is that they will occupy majority of the apex positions in this parastatal and the south will start shouting marginalization and why all top directors are from the north.

The last meeting I had at the NNPCL Head quarter's Abuja saw 99% of Top Management Staff from the north.

During The introduction of I was shaking my head. This bring me to ask, could this issue I am experiencing in my own organization be the same in NNPCL?

Currently a Lady I know in NNPCL resigned and moved to Canada. You already know the future implications to the South when her set will get to the top.

Why are Southerners relocating and leaving their beautiful jobs why the northerners are comfortably enjoying the same work.

Is this greed on the south or that our problems are too much?

I taunt my friend from sokoto some days ago why he doesn't want to japa, he laughed and answered me, to do what over there?

Why are the southerners the only people who sees reasons to japa?
Knowing that we can not live past 100 yrs and we can not go anywhere with all this wealth.

the higher a southerner become a director, the higher the chance of Southerners getting employment in this organizations.

If you work with a good federal government agency share your thoughts.

Are you experiencing the same in your organization?

Chief I'm from the South and in Abuja, I don't mind dropping my cv with you so if something comes along

Na hot plate I Dey use steady now self

I hardly use my power bank of recent, I no come know about your area ooo

Which brand of hot plate do you use and how many watt? What's the review of the product

BaddaMan:
I feel your pain op, I was going through this issues for months, landlord said he won’t be responsible for new meter if I apply, I stopped paying light bill but at the end I had to get my personal meter since meter are not movable I plan to sell it off when I leave here, and since I got my meter my neighbor hardly pays for light this shows I’ve been the one paying the most. The height of it was when they couldn’t recharge for days claiming its network meanwhile the whole street was recharging. You need to see the way this people act bossy. Express meter is 150/160 not 200 get yours.

Meter is movable, ask question well before you decide to sell it. I would have said more but it is not everything someone should say online. I only quoted you because you sound sincere

Truth be said we get atleast 20 hours of light daily

This car is really underrated in Nigeria.

It is to collect the Pdp 3k and APC 10k and vote your conscience.

richmond500:
As for me, lunch is not part of my meals again.

It's not like I can't provide lunch but that will put me in tight budget and I may not have something to save at the end of the day. L Even though I make a little above 100k in profits.
In Nigeria, if you earn N100k in places like Rivers state, Bruh u are broke, and I begin to feel bad for those earning around 50k, ona deh try.

After voting in nonsense you are complaining.

It seem reality has just dawned on me that he has truly transited. I even messaged his WhatsApp number few days ago

My experience using the train from Itakpe to Warri.

Itakpe Station
The fare is N5,000 for regular and N8,000 for business class. After paying I found out that seats available in the waiting hall could only accommodate like 100 people but there were over 300 people who had booked. So we had to find somewhere outside to sit. Many sat on the floor outside.


I was surprised to find out that at the Itakpe station they said the restroom was out of order because there was no water so travellers who needed to go had to use the nearby bushes to relieve themselves.

The day I traveled the departure time was set at 2pm but the train arrived at 2:09pm. Then chaos set it. There was a strange arrangement where touts in collaboration with the railway officials (helped) carried luggages of travellers into the coaches for a fee, this was done haphazardly as the touts grabbed the largest luggages they could find sometimes irrespective of the owners consent. One mans luggage was carried without his knowledge along with that of another person and when he found it the tout who carried it claimed ignorance.

It took over an hour before engers were allowed to board and the train later moved some minutes after 3pm.

The ticket sales was manually done.


The Journey
The coaches are air-conditioned and spacious and the train moved smoothly. Different people sold on the train, some sold water, soft drinks and snacks and of course herbal medicine was also sold.

Immediately the train moved the restrooms on board the train were locked as observed on these coaches Sp00033 sp00021. engers who needed to ease themselves would have to wait untill the next station the go out and used the bush.

Lots of other engers were picked along the way and many sat on the floor or stood in the aisle. Blocking the exits.

Security was tight though as several armed security men were clearly seen in all the coaches.



A lot could be done in maintaining standards. It's not rocket science to provide and maintain restrooms in public facilities.

I arrived Ujewu(Warri) at about 9:30pm

My humble submission.

Ticket sales should computerized automated and engers should be allowed to choose seats of their choice. To avoid ticket racketeering by touts.

Staff must be mandated to put on uniforms with name tags. To prevent touts from taking advantage of travellers

More coaches should be bought and more routes opened as there is clearly a very large demand for hassle free land travel.

Overall the experience is great and despite the challenges I'll still prefer travel by rail than by road.

He is trying to save cost instead of him to see ENT he don't know what he is playing with, he should continue taking advise from Nairaland Resident Doctors

Sublimesuccess:
Hmmm

That was when my father bought a brand new car for less than #4000. So the annual salary of the president then would buy almost 13 of such cars. Imagine selling that car for 8 million naira in our own time and a modern day president can afford to buy 13 such cars with his BASIC SALARY of 104 million naira. There was corruption then as well.

Even the cover price of the newspaper should tell you something. That newspaper cost 15k then, now it is #300. If you divide #50000 by 15k, it's the same result you get by dividing #100 million by #300, the current price of the newspaper, and I don't even think the official salary of the modern day president is up to #100 million. For the president nowadays to buy the same number of newspapers the annual salary of the president then could buy, he must earn #100 million annually. Let's be relative with the way we think.

Likewise I saw people thinking that the man selling roasted corn in London had struck gold by selling one for £1. Converting the money into naira is a fairy tale. A bottle of coke there is about £2. Imagine selling one cob of corn for £1 and buying a bottle of coke for £2! It's like garbage in, garbage out.

Based on the values copied from Wikipedia below,in 1979, $1=60k, therefore #50,000 then in 1979=$83333.
Let's convert the $83333 back to naira in 2024 when $1=#1235 based on the table, $83333=#103 million. So #50000 then and #103 million today are equal!!! Cutting it down further, #5 in 1979 and #10000 today have the same purchasing strength.

You made alot of sense

Curious345:
I have 5m to invest in this cassava farming. I have looked for land for 2 years and have found none

That your 5 Million (of 2 years ago) is worth 2.5 Million (in today's economy) this should not discourage you in investing today

Even though the price is negotiable but asking 570k for a Samsung with mark on the screen is some how. Samsung screen is as expensive as the phone

Navigator??

I thought I was the only on that observed this lol

stuffs2002:



You just displayed your stupidity for all to see, so if bandit uses okada for operation then DSS should use Okada as well? What happened to Power Bike?

In this modern day, DSS should use okada to track bandit what happened to military grade drone.

You deserve all the discomfort you get in Nigeria, you deserve to buy a liter of fuel at the rate of 5000 per liter





























DUNDEE and olodo full this forum sha...

Bandits use moto cycle and it only makes sense to track them with moto cycle too

This is laughable. When I read "motorcycle" I never expected it will be okada.

Government still think we are still in the 80's if only they know that there has being advancement in science and technology.

There was a country. These present day Nigeria is definitely not what heroes past wish for, if Anthony Enaharo had an idea that today Nigeria will go so bad he may not have moved the motion for Nigeria's independence.

On a moral ground, the cleric is a scammer using Christianity to operate.

On a legal basis, the foolish man that donated a car is not entitled to get a compensation for the car because the car donation was not backed up by any legal agreement.

Mastermindfixu:
My girlfriend and I have been together a little over a year, and it's always been rocky. We've broken up many times (almost always me with her) but then we end up back together in a few days.
She has never hit me until today, and then suddenly slapped me after she held my shirt and pinned me against the wall. FYI - I did nothing to her in retaliation . However, I feel pained and disappointed by her action.

Reason - she saw me with a lady who was supposed to apply for the post of a chef at our residence and thought I was having an affair .

I explained myself and next best thing she said to me was that she is done with the relationship.

What do I do?

What you should do?

Well go and beg your girlfriend so she can forgive you.
