Food / Re: Help! Is It Possible To Save My Egusi Soup? by Krucifax(m): 7:49pm On Feb 29 |
The soup cannot be saved. You are experiencing biology. The fermentation and spoiling process has set in unfortunately. Its a natural process that is sped up by heat. You should have served the soup into small containers and frozen some and kept some in the fridge for your friend. Eating it now will risk diarrhea and medication after. Hopefully you learned a cooking and food preservation lesson. 2 Likes |
Business / Re: Naira Rebounds As Banks Offload Excess Dollars by Krucifax(m): 8:20pm On Feb 02 |
Faiththatworks: The answer to your question is very simple. Its still business as usual in all sectors even more so now meaning that we are still a very much dollar hungry nation . Let me explain using the points you raised. Industries = There is no reduced demand for dollar because the problems(electricity,skilled man power, specialized equipments) are not available. So many items still have to be bought abroad. Add to this the recent close down of numerous factories that previously produced local goods,meaning there now even more demand for imported goods and consequently dollar. Fuel Importers = Not sure where you sourced your info but they have not reduced fuel importation. If anything there are now more fuel importers as the Tinubu govt has given out more importation licenses to more businesses with the hope the multiplier effect would put downard pressure on pump prices. We know that one failed on arrival. Dangote refinery = It thus far had zero effect on the economy as far as dollar is concerned. It can even be argued that Dangote is one of the parties causing dollar scarcity because he is having to buy crude oil on the international market to bring to Nigeria to refine due to failure of NNPC to meet his refinery demands. In the long term this is likely to change IF and only IF his crude oil demands are met locally. Importers in general = We have a massive population. Demands have never been met locally. For this reason we will always import. No matter the dollar rate. All they need to do is hike the price some more. Hence the massive inflationary prices we are seeing. Round Tripping/Speculators = I once believed what you still believe. Which is that currency speculation is only the handiwork of BDCs and Banks or very wealthy individuals. My dear friend even your Gateman and driver is involved. People figured out a few years ago that currency speculation is a profit making venture. Since then it has become common practise for all and sundry now. They will buy $100 with N120,000 hoping that in two weeks they can sell it for N140,000 making N20,000 profit. Like Prostitution and Kidnapping currency speculation is now a thriving sub-industry that has come to stay. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
Properties / Re: Lagos Tenant Hospitalised As Landlady Breaks Into Apartment by Krucifax(m): 9:23am On Jan 29 |
The tenant is a liar. He has not given the full or real account of what happened. Too many Nigerians are in the habit of wanting to occupy another's property without paying what they owe when required. While the landlord's behaviour is not nice it's due to the frustration of the tenants. You know very well that the landlord would have called several times before taking the law into their hands. To Nigerian tenants know that landlords are also human beings who worked hard to make money to build houses. They need the rent to survive too because the house is an investment. If you can't afford the rent carry your wahala and go somewhere else. Cut your cut coat according to your size instead of constituting nuisance and then coming to complain online. 4 Likes |
Politics / Ibadan Explosion.......official Report Suspicious by Krucifax(m): 12:51am On Jan 18 |
Ibadan Explosion.......Official Report Suspicious Following the news of the tragic loss of life and property in Ibadan by a massive explosion, some of the official reports need investigating . This is because of the unlikely hood and suspicious nature of what was reported. Lets look at the facts. After the explosion it was reported that it was due to an earthquake. Later on the report changed and the report claimed it was a Gas explosion. When the dust started to clear and day light exposed the severity of the damage the report quickly changed and the story became that it was caused by illegal miners storing explosives. There was immediate and overwhelming outcry from all across the nation that the so-called illegal miners be brought to justice. Then the report changed again the the explosion was caused by FOREIGN illegal miners. A brief review of these reports leads to some head scratching. A few questions that need to be answered is : Why was the state govt and media quick to offer explanation under 24hrs before any formal investigations had occurred?? Why was the narrative constantly changed under 24hrs of the explosion? Why would illegal miners choose to store massive amounts of deadly explosives so close to a VIP suburban area full of big men and homes of politicians? Makes no sense! Why was nothing done prior if every one in the neighborhood apparently knew that the suspected property housed illegal miners ? Illegal mining is a multi billion naira enterprise only the elite can afford to venture into. The scale of the explosion suggests that gigantic amounts of explosives were stored at the property. Some of the elite in the state cannot claim not to be aware of this. Blaming illegal miners seems like a convenient and quick excuse to divert attention from the real cause and perpetrators. That the state govt and local media where the first to give uninvestigated reports of the cause of the explosion is a serious cause of concern. When there is an incident the first people supposed to be giving a report are the Police after an investigation. This was not the case in this situation. Nigerians should ask questions who was really responsible and what the explosives were really for. The official account does not add up! |
Politics / Re: Foreign Loans Make Up 78% Of Nigeria’s Capital Importation By Q3 2023 by Krucifax(m): 9:42am On Dec 31, 2023 |
[b]Tinubunomics has failed on arrival. The problem started with the Naira float. They told us it was meant to improve foreign investment. Unfortunately foreign investors did not agree. Then they removed fuel subsidy. They told us it would reduce our expenses and increase forex reserves.They also said it'll free up money for infrastructure investment Unfortunately forex reserves are still in historical decline. Infrastructure like power supply is still abysmal. The removal of the subsidy and floating of Naira has caused hyperinflation. The hyperinflation has thrown millions more Nigerians into poverty and closed thousands of local businesses. The hyperinflation and currency depreciation has caused investors to flee Nigeria. If you invest $1 Million in Nigeria early in the year even after making a profit, your returns will be less than $1 Million after conversion due to Naira depreciation. This is assuming you can even get the dollar out of the country which is another problem. Tinubu supporters point to the Dangote and PH refineries as light at the end of the tunnel. As it in theory should further reduce forex expenses and generate more forex. Which should stabilise the Naira and the economy. This is folly. You only need to take a look at countries like Venezuela to understand that access to refined oil is not necessarily a way out when you have terrible financial managers and the decay of corruption. You see pumping more oil as a strategy has come a couple of decades too late to make much of a difference for Nigeria. Many countries are now moving away from fossil fuels and are embracing sustainable energy. Investors are now more ethical and not putting money into things majority of the world thinks is harming the planet like fossil fuels. Indeed some countries in Europe have started putting bans and deadlines of use to anything that uses fossil fuels from cars to appliances. This means more and more in the future fossil fuels would be irrelevant and countries depending on them would need diversify or go under. The solution is to ramp up the economy and diversify from oil in the long term. Create an environment for investment. Increase exportation of local goods and services for forex. Make good geopolitical decisions that elevates the status of the Naira. To achieve the above Nigerians need to elect the right people to the right places to make the right decisions. Unfortunately the country runs on tribal and religious sentiments. Where people votes for bribes and their kin and on the advice of religious leaders not on merit. For the reasons above the country WILL remain in permanent managed decline with the exception being pockets of economic success in places like Lagos,Abuja,Delta, etc.[/b] |

DrDoc: Lolol . That's technically impossible my friend. It means your N25Million would need to generate over N540,000 every single day and N17Million every month to hit N200million in the first year. That type of exponential capital growth would require far more than N25Million to actualize. The very few that can manage such magic are in I.T.

naijapips04: Worst advice ever!!! Home ownership if used wisely is the very foundation of wealth creation. This has been the case since forever. 1. The house means he never needs to worry about rent again and can save money 2. The house can serve as collateral for a loan that can be used for business. 3. The house is simply a conversion of the N25million to another form the N25 Million is still there. 4. The house can appreciate and be sold for profit giving him N25Million plus more millions. 5. If he decide to relocate the house can be put for rent or airbnb generating steady income. 6. His children can inherit the house when he dies and can do all the above again. 7. Nothing stops him from doing other business after building his house. 8. All the wealthiest families in history have their wealth tied to property at the very basic form. 9. Every business eventually comes to an end. Every trend eventually fades.Property is the one asset class that has stood for generations. 6 Likes 1 Share |

At OP. Yes life is hard and Nigeria 🇳🇬 is harder. But there are certain milestones that a human being must pass if you consider yourself normal. Same way you wouldn't consider it normal for a teenager to be in nursery school or an adult to be in primary school. Living with your parents at 37 is abnormal and demonstrates that you failed to make your way in life. There are exceptions of course. If you suffer from a disability or are required to provide constant aid to a family member then its understandable. However your post doesn't say any of the above besides an attempt to normalise the shameful. Yes it hurts but it's important that you know the reality of your situation instead of trying to rewrite societal norms. They are there for a reason. I sincerely hope things get better for you and you take good counsel because you seem to have lost your way. |
Business / Re: Diversion Of Diaspora Remittances To Black Market Weakens Naira - CBN by Krucifax(m): 4:31pm On Aug 11, 2023 |
[b]The Naira is on a permanent downwards trajectory. The reason is very simple. Supply and demand. This is economics one o one that even a child understands. We are an overly importation reliant economy. Which mean most of the goods we consume are imported into the country. The same goods are also purchased in US Dollars which is the international trading currency. For this reason there is always high demand for dollars. This high demand for dollars means people will pay almost anything to get it. The real problem is then that we have a dollar scarcity. We have dollar scarcity because we do not export enough goods and service to generate US Dollars back into the economy. The fix for this problem is impossible to fix overnight due to many years of poor governance and failure to develop a thriving industrial, manufacturing and export economy. The failure is from government incompetence and the people's failure to elect good useful leaders. Nigeria for many years relied mainly on oil revenue and failed to properly diversify the economy like their counterparts in the middle east. A thriving industrial sector takes many years to develop and requires things like steady electricity,access to venture capital, good regulation to ensure internationally acceptable standards for our goods amongst many other things. Unfortunately due to mass ignorance, tribalism, religious and ethnic sentiments we are never able to provide good leadership. As such the right decisions are never made. As such we are all sleeping in the bed we collectively made by our actions and inactions. This is my future prediction for Nigeria based on current trajectory. 1: Massive population growth 2: World record unemployment 3 Massive crime growth 4:World record poverty 5: Sustained insecurity due to regional conflicts 6: Sustained political instability 7: Millions of unemployable due to advent of business automation reducing worker requirement, Artificial Intelligence replacing jobs, Climate change reducing arable land and reducing farmers number These factors are all tied to each other and are inevitable. However the positive note would be small pockets of growth for people with access to capital, few states with competent governors enacting policies to help a few thousands cushion the coming suffering, youth innovation in media. Make no mistake Hell is coming for the world at large due to Automtion,AI and Climate change. Advanced economies will absorb this better due to worker protection policies and social welfare. However countries like Nigeria that refuse or are unable to change will suffer the most. Its envitable. The best you can do is to prepare yourself and children as best you can for the coming tide.[/b] 5 Likes 1 Share |
Properties / Re: Help! The Very First And Only Property I’ve Ever Acquired All My Life Is Revoked by Krucifax(m): 8:07am On Apr 21, 2023 |
Buying land in Abuja like anywhere in Nigeria one has to be careful. I had a similar experience with a plot of land I bought during covid in Abuja. Where the developers were messing us about and reallocated twice after first telling us where we were to be given property. This was my third property purchase in Abuja. The first two I had thesame problems. I bought two plots of land side by side but because I didn't have funds to develop at the time. Without warning the Estate owner resold them to somebody with deep pockets that wanted like 10 plots at the same time. When I found out I was abroad in London. I went mental and I sent lawyers to them to fix their mess. They then gave me two new allocations which I very quickly went and did foundation on before they tried any new tricks. I have now finished building the two houses glory to God. My third purchase with another developer is still dragging since 2020 and they are many of us in the same shoe with the man and we want to arrange group action and take him to court. Not easy for me as I'm based in London. Who is the developer and which Estate is it in Abuja? I can suggest the lawyers that helped with my case or maybe you can join or group action if it's thesame people 🤔 |

Car Talk / Why The Okada Ban Is Very Bad Idea! by Krucifax(m): 10:39pm On May 31, 2022 |
The Okada Ban is a Bad Idea Employment Nigeria has one of the highest rates of unemployment in the world. Figures range from 40% to 55% depending on source. The okada(motor bike) has become a source of income and employment for thousands of young and old people and by extension hundreds of thousands of families. An outright ban of Okadas immediately throws into the poverty thousands of Nigeriens and by extension their families. Infrastructure Many communities in Nigeria have poor rood networks and infrastructure making them not motorable. This communities have managed to bridge this problems by the use of okada that are able to access route cars can not. Banning okada will make life difficult for people going to work or school or their various businesses. Crime Forcing thousands into unemployment will inevitably force some of the individuals into crime to survive. Thereby exacerbating an already sky high crime level. High handedness The decision to ban okadas on account of a few bad eggs is a case of throwing the baby out with the bath water. Using that logic over 60% of Nigerian and cars would be banned as they are involved in worse driving and crimes (kidnapping, one chance operater,ritual killers, armed robbers etc) Missed opportunities The okada community are a great potential source of employment, empowerment, investment opportunities for business men/women and increased tax revenue to government coffers No proper social welfare Nigeria's lack of proper social welfare means there's nothing for the riders and their families to fall back on. Low income individuals and families The okada is an affordable source of transportation for millions of low income individuals and families who can't afford taxis. Taking this away puts them into difficulties. What the government should have done The government should instead have brought in policies to better regulate bike riders. Arrange training centers to ensure driving awareness, proper licensing, a data base base of operators, to weed out bad eggs and reward those that comply. Instead of show politicking in an attempt to show that they are working they should instead plan better ways to help the lives of our fellow Nigerians. 3 Likes |

chinasaekpere: Chinasa, as an older man to you with more experience I believe that you will eventually become a very successful person in the future. That's my prophecy based on the narrative you have given about your personal financial troubles. You are very hardworking and obviously versatile considering the different skill sets you have and jobs you've done. Here's my advice. Do not cut off your family. Because family is family good or bad. Your father has made some poor choices. It happens to even the best business brains in the world. However there also seems to be a parasitic reliance on you for financial help. This is common in Nigerian families. Its also common in Igbo families. Using my own family as an example no less than 10 members of our extended family has lived in our house when I was growing up. Uncles and aunties at some point when they were young and in need of financial assistance. In our culture anyone with means is expected to help others. This is not always healthy and many times causes problems for the helper. But that's African tradition for you. What you should do is learn when to say no. If your father or mother asks you for N100k. If you only have N150k in your account give them N20k or N10k. That way you have made a contribution and not created a new problem for yourself. Your folks will gradually look to other sources to make up the shortfall while not making you broke in the process. Good luck bro. The sky is your limit. 5 Likes |
Politics / Lekki The Coming Disaster by Krucifax(m): 1:54am On Jul 19, 2021 |
Lekki The Coming Disaster The aim of this article is to share with all well meaning Nigerians the future dangers surrounding the Lekki Peninsula. Specifically ecological and geographic dangers worsened by political and human failure. Lekki Peninsula is located in the South East of Lagos State. Lekki is surrounded by large water masses. The peninsula's location and sea level means it is particularly venerable to storm surges and floods. Throw into the picture the global phenomena of climate change and global warming then you have a recipe for disaster. All geographical calculations by scientists show that global warming is increasing. The means the ice of the polar caps are melting rapidly. What this means is that earths water mass is increasing. Another phenomena from global warming is intense and large volume rainfall. The implications for Lekki will be increased flooding, erosions and water pollution. To make matters worse there's another problem in this mix. Rapid population growth in Nigeria has meant the scramble and demand for land. This demand has led to the reclaiming and sand filling of wetlands and lagoon shores. In the quest for profits from real estate natural ecological drainage systems have been built over. The Lagos State Government using the Lekki Peninsula Land Use Plan and Development Scheme had an initiative to develop the peninsula. Unfortunately in many places the development has not been in tandem with global best practices. The intentions from 1980 were good but the execution was far from desirable These projects have been often hastily and inconsiderately done. What was sold to prospective buyers as dream homes in many places are effectively "flood planes". This is because of the aforementioned land reclamation practices, failure to invest in proper drainage infrastructure In 2009 the Lagos state govt tried the Infrastructure Master Plan and Land Use Plan to address the problems that arose. This in itself has largely been a failure. This is because of politics, corruption and administrative malpractice. Poor town planning has been used in many housing projects in Lekki. Add to that the embezzlement of funds meant for infrastructure and you have a double whammy of trouble. The only way to minimize perennial flooding in Lekki is to go back to the drawing board and do the job properly. But it is unlikely that this would happen as the implication would be the demolition of billions of naira worth of real estate and properties. But this is the only way to fix a mammoth problem of poor town planning and drainage infrastructure. Another solution is that Nigerians all do their bit to reduce activities that lead to global warming. Until this is addressed flooding, erosion, water pollution will be a constant feature in Lekki and may eventually make parts of the peninsula untenable. Thanks for reading. 2 Likes

Properties / Re: Paradise Estate Abuja, Leaving Behind Tales Of Anguish To Subscribers In Abuja by Krucifax(m): 7:20am On Jun 14, 2021 |
This is actually a regular occurrence in the world of estate developers and property sales in Nigeria. I myself fell victim to one called T.pumpy estates in Abuja. The problem is this,70-80% of these estate developers and land sellers when advertising land/property for sale don't actually have the land physically available. They do big promos with flyers and 3d photos of estate buildings with cars parked in the front etc to entice buyers. What they then do is to collect money from numerous prospective buyers. It's when they've collected enough money that they then go and buy the land behind the scene from the real owners. With the hope of then doing allocation of plots. This is also when the problem starts. And the problems are numerous. Often they would oversell available plots. Meaning if the land actually available can accommodate only 100 plots of land they will regularly sell over 100 plots on paper to people.E.g 120 plots sales. This means on almost every estate in Nigeria especially Abuja you'll find people missing out even after full payment. But because there's other people that got land/property then the developers can claim to be legit. Other times when people put enough pressure on the developers what they do is to start cutting out of the plots size they sold to people to give others. Say for example they advertise plots of 500sqm after payment and plot allocation when you get there you mind discover you only got 400sqm. By the time they have done this to just 4 people they would have got an extra 400sqm to sell which can be anything from 1million naira or much higher in a place like Abuja. Some times they even do the plot reduction for no other reason but greed to squeeze in more people and make more money. Other times they do it because they never had they full size available in the first place. Corruption and deceit is common in Nigeria property deals and almost all developers are into it. My advice to prospective buyers is to NEVER NEVER EVER buy property "off plan" in Nigeria. By that I mean where the developers show you an area where they are developing and selling. If you can not first see the physical plot on ground DO NOT part with your money. 115 Likes 19 Shares |
Politics / Re: Court Affirms Right Of States To Enforce Anti-Open Grazing Law by Krucifax(m): 6:29pm On May 23, 2021 |
WATCHMANX: Respectfully you're wrong. As is 90% of everyone commenting on this post which is scary. Let me explain. Firstly the state governors do not need moral encouragement. They and their legal representatives fully understand the law. The judge was not telling them anything new regarding the grazing ban. Secondly to quote you "a diplomatic judgement" is no judgement. Because she was playing safe which reaffirms my earlier criticism. Let me break it down for you and others as to what this case is about. A law suit was brought by representatives of Southern governors. The suit was brought about because the grazing ban was ineffective. The ban was ineffective because herders were not obeying it and security agencies were not enforcing it. The governors were unable to do anything because they do not control security agencies. The governors do not control agencies because there is no state police in Nigeria. There is no state police in Nigeria because the Nigerian constitution made the Police under federal control. The governors out of frustration had hoped through the law suit would force the president to do the needful. Instead of helping the Southern governors the judge essentially threw the case out citing numerous errors in legal process. The crux of the matter is that herders are flouting and disobeying the law. The security agencies are not doing their jobs. The governors do not have the legal powers to force them to do their jobs. The judgement has not helped nor shed light on how this can be resolved. I hope you all understand now. |

Grayoso: To be brutally honest this judgement is neither a victory for the long suffering victims of herders nor the governors. It is basically back to square one. Let me explain why. The judge in her closing statement said a few keys things.: A: That the plaintiff/claimant's suit was wrongly construed and aimed at the wrong person i.e Buhari B: Reaffirms the constitutional stance that the president can not be sued as was being attempted C: That the court lacks the power to do anything about what they are asking. D: That it was not the job of the president to enforce open-grazing ban The court decision seems at first to be in favour of anti grazing but look closely. The court effectively is saying your approach is wrong and there is nothing we can do for you. The decision also implies that the State Governors should be the ones enforcing anti-grazing laws THIS is the key point made. Considering that the State governors do not officially have any control over any security agencies(besides Amotekun,Ebebu Agu that don't have legal backing yet) how will they then enforce the law? This is what the judge failed to mention or give guidance on. In this failure she has inadvertently exposed herself as being a Buhari stooge whose judgement was either bribed or coerced or done out of fear for her career.

An inept and incompetent government with a clueless retiree at the helm enabled by the likes of Tinubu and co. 22 Likes 2 Shares

Business / Re: Is Abuja Still Lucrative For Business? by Krucifax(m): 12:06am On Jul 30, 2020 |
At OP . Abuja is one of the fastest growing cities on the planet currently in terms of organic growth and population growth. Hundreds of thousands of Nigerians fleeing insecurity in the north and congestion in the south are moving or planning to move to Abuja. Abuja is also one of the top five states in Nigeria per GDP and economic activity. From a business perspective Abuja presents unique opportunities due to the daily population growth and attendant demands that will need to be met for the population. However there are serious factors to consider. Regulation and enforcement is high in Abuja. Unlike many states in Nigeria where you can just sit or stand by the road and sell anything for money Abuja is much stricter. Contrary to popular opinion that Abuja is the most expensive state it is not. However there are certain things that come with an above average price tag in Abuja compared to other states. Transportation in Abuja is generally cheaper than Lagos as is some services and goods especially those sourced from nearby northern states. However domestic and commercial property costs are generally prohibitive this is true for rental or purchase. This is also true for goods that have been routed via Lagos. On average it's true that its easier to survive in Lagos or Delta or PH. Primarily because of the higher entry barriers to Abuja. But even this can be an unfair generalization. Abuja has sectors and regions dependent upon your financial buoyancy where you can comfortably slot in. When people refer to scary expenses Abuja they're generally referring to core Abuja. By this I mean areas like, Asokoro,Maitama,Utako,Wuse,Garki etc. There are still many area in Abuja that the average earner could live. Like Kubwa,Lugbe,Gwarimpa etc. Finally remember every new thing has a gestation period, where you'll be sorting out teething problems( getting customers, suppliers,raw material,funds,documentation etc.) If you do make the leap don't confuse this stage with a presumption of lack of viability. Good luck and God speed 14 Likes 2 Shares |

daddytime: It's not good to jump to conclusions. The helmet may have been removed after the accident to try and resuscitate him. Also for your information helmets are only good for minor impacts or if you fall of the bike. A helmet will not protect you from concussions or a broken neck or spine from high speed impacts. Years ago a biker in England wearing a helmet and full safety gear was still decapitated when he accidentally ran unto an oncoming vehicle whilst trying to overtake a slower car. His head was separated from his body even though he had a helmet on. In the end God is our only protection. |
