You people that will be supporting this useless leaders. You see that they are not vaccinating out elderly parents. They are only vaccinating themselves after classifying themselves as strategic leaders. Even the I. G of Police will get the vaccine but the rest of the policemen and police women who are on the street 24/7, no vaccine for them. How many essential workers have gotten the vaccine?

Very useless government. This is what happens when you keep bringing forth useless policies. They have realize that people like me have cease to remit forex.


I stopped remitting my money the moment they stamped the $100 withdrawal limit on foreign transactions. I realized that this government can destroy the country one day with their corruption, nepotism and quota system, and then come around to say Nigerians are only entitled to #100k of their money even when you have #2b in your account while government use the remaining to rejig the economy. The funny part is that the resolution will only apply to the masses while they continue to use theirs to cater for their families.




My brother na then me too I stopped trusting this govt ooo. CBN no know say people wey dey work for diaspora dey make dollars don't trust them.

5 Naira kill them there.

It's that 100 dollar limit that opened our eyes. They don't really give a shit about us. Now they want us to be remitting them dollars.

Make them go sell oil naa. Shebi Dangote will soon complete his forex subsidized refinery. Make dem collect the dollars from him.

studentofTruth:


I agree with you. If truly the banks are doing the giveaway at #5 per $, with $20,000, someone is in a profitable to-and-fro business.

International transfers cost about $30 per transfer, so to and fro is $60 — let's say $70 (assuming any other charges). Every inflow of $20,000 gives you #100k from CBN, while your expenses is only $70 (#30-35k). You're in #65k profit per full trip!

Invariably, these dumb fellows, through this dumb policy, have created another means for their folks to milk the country more!


Even $10k can give you more than #30k per full trip.

Smart man. They have created a successful strategy for some bankers to round trip. Only people with "access" can be involved in this and CBN is essentially given them a loophole to do this. Probably this may already be going on given our dual exchange rates. But hustlers like me wont drop one dollar because additional 5 naira. Naira that before you open and close your eyes again the 5 naira has become 2 Naira. What if after May CBN devalues the naira again which is consistent in their ways. Then the additional 5 naira you made on your dollar will be how much?

Oh I see. Essentially the CBN is trying to attract all our dollars into Nigerian banks. So for someone that has a lot of money stored as dollars already, do you think this scam is enough for me to risk sending my dollars to Nigerian banks. After people have sent all the dollars finish, they will now change the policy and say you can only withdraw the money out as Naira. Just like was done in Venezuela.

Hahaha. The worst thing to keep now is the naira. If you invest your naira as stock or shares, or even as treasury bills, it will get devalued before you cash out your profits. So what is the point. Its better to kuku find a way to convert all your naira to dollars or crypto and leave it in the Chase bank or put it under your pillow and be staring at it.

CBN knows the right thing to do all this while but they won't. If they had devalued the naira to close to market rate and didnt give "special rate" to Dangote and his other cronies, all in the name of CBN rate, all this won't have been needed.

They think say we people wey dey work for inside cold for Yankee say we be mumu abi.

Do you know Simi has a record label? How many young female artiste's has she signed. Even Tiwa Savage rather than start her own record label and sign young female artiste like herself, she went to sign with Universal. By now someone as big as Tiwa shouldn't be under any record label. If she was male I assure you that she will be a record label owner. I can go on and on Yemi Alade nko, how many artiste she sign? Later they will say women supporting women but they are not willing to do what their male counterparts are doing. Dem no wan hustle or take intiative. Look at Dj cuppy sef too. Upon all the money her papa get and access to funds, rather than start record label that will be signing artistes like her that her female, she wants to do Masters in African Studies. She and Davido wey get 30 BG shey dem no be the same set everythingwise ? You know how many artiste's Davido don sign since he start 30 BG and DMW. Na Davido go still sign Liya when Tiwa dey. Na Don Jazzy go sign AyraStarr. Later Nigerian female artiste go sit down there dey complain. But all the big gods wey they finance their lifestyle in Nollywood while thy male counterparts are broke etc. dem no go talk about that one.

That Emefiele is a crook. You see what we have been talking about. The crude oil is often priced in dollars right? So the Nigerian govts plan is to subsidize dangote's business. They will sell him crude oil at their pegged unrealistic 335 Naira exchange rate. Most of the refined product will now be sold for its real value at the international market in dollars and consequently also to Nigerians at its dollar equivalent. And that my friends is how they intend to siphon the crude oil wealth to one person ie Dangote

No lies in this and we all saw how its use fueled the endsars protest ...that was when I knew the CBN would definitely clamp down on it especially with 2023 elections around the corner. All those saying governments can shutdown cryptocurrencies now see clearly that without FIAT currency backing up cryptocurrencies, its as good as 'useless' in everyday use, but hey what do we know #WeMove!

You don't need Fiat currency to back up any means of exchange. What you need is demand. There was a time when cowries was used as a means of exchange. What Fiat currency was backing that? As long as the means of exchange has value to majority of people, then it's viable.

But people don't use dollar for illegal purposes? The US dollar has been the defacto currency for illegal oil bunkering in Nigeria and international drug trade.

Currency is currency and any currency can be used for illegal transactions. All those points are just mute. It's all about control. The fear is that maybe one day the world would move away from petrodollar to petrobitcoin.

WoundedLamb:


And the man won't be? You guys just open your mouth and start saying things you know nothing about.

First, they can't get married in the west until the man gets divorced by his wife. They can only cohabitate. If the wife of the man wants to take any action (like divorce filing and alimony), it's against the man and not the mistress. The western world is not as misogynistic as Africa.

A married woman sleeps with a lover, you all shout "fear women". Now, a married man is sleeping with a lover and you all are shouting "fear women". When do you ever fear men? Aren't ashamed of being illogical?

I just googled and though it's rarely done, there are 7 states in the U.S that allow you to sue the other person. So we should absolve this woman because of what? She knew he was still married. She even said when the wife was pregnant she was the one that encouraged him to go visit the wife that had just delivered. My point is that both of them are to be blamed for getting involved while he was still married but it seems like you're bent on only blaming the husband and exonerating the wife because she is currently single. Goodluck!

PS: Where did you see me type "fear women" And thinking about it, if the other woman can get sued in this case Toyin Lawani, wouldn't the original wife and most married women in general that face such issues benefit from this?

Unfortunately, the man is the married one here. He is the one that promised someone eternity and he is the one that proposed to another woman. The lady (who isn't married anymore) isn't off the hook but a good deal of the response is on the person breaking marriage vows. I'm sure you'd have agreed with me if it was a married woman sleeping with a single guy.

Another lame argument. If Toyin Lawani were to do this in the west, she would be involved in the lawsuit as well if she got married to someone knowingly that was already married.

And any man that can also accept the fact that a woman can not be with one gbola alone will know peace and live long. undecided sad truth

I've seen women give this argument before but it's pretty lame. It's a woman that gets pregnant. Maybe if she can stick to birth control during her escapades. But as a man, I would refuse to cater for another man's child brought from outside by spouse. Before women could hide it. Now there is DNA test.

The other thing is that society frowns against this kind of behavior from women. It's considered as "ashy" behavior and many men won't like to stick with a woman that in your own words "takes gbola outside." However, it's different for women. Some are even willing to be a second and even third, fourth , fifth wife to one wealthy monarch or oba.

I'm just being real here.

Read to understand. I never stated that court marriage can keep anyone. It is a form of security. Some men shy away from court marriages because they know that they cant just up and leave anytime they want.

But can't women just up and leave whenever they want as well if there is no court marriage? Trust me, I understand the predicaments of many women "after one" and how society looks at that. But it appears that times are changing.

My point was just that it appears that the clamor for church marriage really doesn't have much to do with religion but the supposed security that women get from this. And rightly so. I feel everyone should feel secure in any union. It's harder for a woman to keep a man than for a man to keep a woman.

The more reason women should insist on getting wedded at court. He wants to leave? Then let him give her a divorce notice.
Even court marriage won't keep your husband. Well it's some kind of security but the truth is that you can't keep anyone that doesn't want to be kept.
