Sorry about your loss, your pain and ordeal in the hands of these men of the underworld. Our greatest thanks should go to Jehovah who made it possible that you survived this ordeal. I have heard experiences of those who even after ransom is paid are been killed for whatever reasons.

My advice would be to avoid retribution and unnecessary suspicion, it could be even make matters worse, it could make you gather enemies who could be innocent. Please leave matter in Jehovah's hands, report to appropriate security agencies, and stay on your lane and be grateful to Jah that you are alive.

Mehn south is frightening, northern Nigeria is relatively safe compared to most states in the south. The crime rate is just alarming

This is really pathetic. The rate people mind their business could really be deadly in some circumstances...

They said off national grid and I ask how would the power be generated. A lot of white elephant projects with no detailed way of reaching the goal

All these analysis made sense. I love this forum

Well I keep praying for the best for this country

there is karma and karma is a bitch, if you weren't caught, would have been pleading for forgiveness ? would you have tried turning a new leave.

Bros sorry you would pay for your sins, first by been on awaiting trial for 6 years in kirikiri then be sentenced for 40 years imprisonment with super hard labour..

I dont know what to believe again

Most of the information posted here is true. Please before getting a vehicle, make sure you go with a competent mechanic or driver to assist you make a good choice if you are not very aware of what you are getting

Impressive, there are a lot of startup funding flying around, just that in this clime we are not usually informed maybe because we keep preoccupying ourselves with unserious issues

hardwerk:
must you always display your inept insipid foolishness? must you ?

Idiot oya justify this moral recklessness, listen ma friend I say what I say not cos I want likes by immoral minded fellows like you but because it is the truth and the truth is always unpopular.

This billionaire in this context is someone people look up to as a role model, someone who reached the peak so far as getting certificates is concerned. These are vices small small boys in the likes of Davido and the rest of em should be doing.

Take it or not, the billionaire acted foolishly

Why do I have this feeling that Africans would really prove they are Africans irrespective of how high in the social cadre they attain

Indigenous contractors should be paid in dollars. Many school of thoughts might disagree with this calling it dollarization of the economy.
Right now, it's the best option we can take to avoid hike and scarcity of dollars.
It's far better than paying foreign contractors who will end up taking our scarce forex abroad.

I know our local contractors aren't good enough yet, but they will only get good if we keep patronising them. China did this, now they have one of the best contractors in the world

I support the issue of supporting local contractors as against foreign contractors, buh you see on the issue of paying in dollars is a No No, thankGod you said most school of thoughts would disagree on that, why would I disagree with you?

Be like say you no know Nigerians, ask yourself, all those money in dollars recovered by this government stashed in accounts and hidden in houses and offices are from where? These were dollars that were shared during the buildup of the last election, these money were never used by those they were disbursed to, instead it was stashed and under utilised. Sometime ago the C.B.N mentioned a bogus sum of dollars are domiciled in Nigerian domiciliary accounts without been used.

Bros take this or leave it, paying contractors in dollars would worsen the situation cos you are creating a new set of round trippers who would delay the project to ensure they get the best value of their dollars

Mehn shey we were told to fight for our rights, i think that's what they are doing

Ain't anything wrong here na

Pre wedding shoots are overrated these days. The efforts and energy channeled in this, is less than what is channeled in most marrriages, and that is why we see most marriages crash these days.

Honestly my pre-wedding pictures must be da bomb.

My guess this is a fashion shoot and not any pre-wedding ish

Its been proven that with more technological advances comes more crime, no wonder more developed cities have higher crime rate.

It is normal, it is expected, buh commo is stealing in exams not corruption?

Cos i know corruption has a death penalty in China

So why not pack all these chinco thieves wanna be and gas em out


take me serious at your own peril

asuustrike2009:
You're not far from the truth but indigenous companies can't management themselves well talkless of acquiring

It is not a proven fact that indigenous companies cant manage themselves, that we have random cases dont make it all cant manage themselves.

Well i am talking to a sentimental fellow cos your signature shows that you either work for MTN directly or indirectly, you might be sympathetic to them and your wishes would be for MTN to acquire Etisalat. Well i dont blame you cos we have a wack and foolish set of people in management who might still do the unthinkable of somehow making sure that MTN has their hands on etisalat.

john1035:
It isn't sustainable. The government is only postponing the doom's day. Or probably the government feel they can sustain it till when their tenure is over or Dangote's refinery becomes operational (Whichever comes first).
If the government is wise, all those monies pumped into the forex should have been given to indigenous contractors then the monies will find it's way to the forex market which is a win win for the government and the economy other than giving monies directly to BDCs that rendered no service at all.
But we vote in dumbasses and they will never get intelligent advisers, they will rather employ and take advices from their fellow dumb cronies

Bros i agreed with all your claims except on the issue of giving indegenious contractors the money that was pumped into forex. Bros do you know that Nigeria is a complicated entity, do you know we know how to defy odds, do you know we know that something might work on paper, work in other african countries but would never work in Nigeria. You never said in which currency the money would be given to indigenous contractors, weather in dollars or naira.

Bros naija matter strong ooo, that is why i less-blame the government...

MMM Account for sale,
I have over 150k on it from last year mavro and am willing to sell it at 60k now

Any interested buyer should contact me through the number on my signature

No the 150k you have there is just combination of numerical characters without any monetary value in the real world.

When the warning was been sounded front and back, you guys were just talking gilberish.

While some are setting up smart cities, others are celebrating the victories of far away football clubs with state funds.

That smart cities stuff caught ma attention. Can we talk on that? Currently working on a smart city project.

1kinggy:
Is it sustainable?

Honestly it is not sustainable, but all hell would have been let loose if the C.B.N never intervened, probabaly the exchange rate would have been close to 700 naira to a dollar if not more.

Well its aa quick fix, while the government thinks of better long term measures to keep the naira afloat

austinvsb1:
9ja prof. Would you mind talking in private? There is a commodity from the southwest that i'd like to export in large quantities to europe (where i live). Market potential is insane bro. I would love every info you can give regarding the agencies, funds and datas.

THANKS

my email is on my profile, send me a mail and lets take it from there

donborg:
what happened?

I was posted go the north, my orientation changed, I still remain in the north till date.

NwaAmaikpe:


What will a true Igbo man be doing in Hausa land.


Na wa oooo, I would rather go develop Sahara desert than settle in the North.

Bros we plenty for here, and to be honest we be true Ibo man, besides I used to have same orientation before until 2013 changed everything

malton:
That shiiit should be condemned by all and sundry.

When those Northern youths go berserk, it's not just the Igbos that will feel the brunt. They are too dumb to tell the Igbo man apart from an Urhobo, for instance. Once you look and dress a certain way, off your head goes.

Not even northern Christians or middle-beltan Muslims will be spared.

It's better to nip it in the bud while we all still can.

Our collective condemnations will force the security to act proactively. Otherwise, you know they won't do shiit.

I mean, their favored sons are the ones playing villain here.

I pray no harm comes to anyone or their property on account of this.

And while they are at it, they should keep Plateau State out of their madness. Igbo lives and properties are safe here, we'll go to war to defend them if need be.

One mo.ron cannot decide the fate of people in my state just because he formed/belongs in some silly group that holds no meaning whatsoever.

MotherFu#ers!

Honestly, sometimes they even pounce on their fellow Muslims just because he is from yoruba, middle belt or even their fellow northerners just because he is not sympathetic to their cause.

Though I view this as a random threat, a part of me still nurtures some fear not because I live in core north but because these illiterate northerners just need a plate of food to go berserk and do random killings.

Time without number it has been proven that they own Nigeria and nothing would happen to them even if they make threats, no security agency would put them to order, buh let any southern figure raise his ugly head to say kill them when they come to attack you, protect yourself and the next day they would dash him three days vacation in DSS detention facility...

rexlims:
THIS IS SHORT TERM, HAVE U CONSIDERED THE LONG TERM EFFECT OF THIS POLICY?
IF U CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTIONS, THEN YOU SEE WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY
1. DO NIGERIA AS A COUNTRY PRINT DOLLAR NOTES?
2. HOW IS OUR TRADE BALANCE?
3. HOW MUCH DO WE HAVE AS FOREIGN RESERVE?
4. ARE WE INVESTING ON CAPITAL PROJECTS OR CONSUMER GOODS?

THE LIST IS ENDLESS.

To be fair, I perfectly understand your arguments, this policy is not sustainable. It can only be practiced cos the price of oil is recovering that is shoring up our reserves.

But Nigeria in itself is a complicated entity that defies all odds, defies any reasonable logic else I don't see any explanation to the sharing of ECA monthly when there are capital projects such money should be pumped into.

Shey you read somewhere that Nigeria accrued more trillion debts in the past two years?

If these statistics are correct, then it's commendable cos it is a known fact that with the exchange rate to the dollar high, it's a boom for exporters to earn more local currency from foreign exchange.

I think the focus should now change to encouraging the youths to be export minded. Sometime in 2013/2014, massive tutorials were made by Ymodulus, shinaf, dav8id, 2sexy, chemashie and a whole of others that I can't remember their handle on how to import from China, those tutorials changed a lot of lives and made them super independent today.

Now the tides have turned, will those massive tutorials on how to export to europe, Asia and the Americas pop up. Nairalanders abroad should champion this cause, not cos of self pity but out of patriotism.

There are lot of government agencies that I know and have attended their workshops in the past who are willing to assist and support with funds and data to make you succeed.

One love...

I was among those that criticised the move by the C.B.N to pump dollars into the market.

Looks like the intended objectives is working, if what it takes to bring the naira/dollar rates low means pumping dollars into the market so be it.

Please let it not be one step forward, three steps backward....

As much as I hate glo with passion for their poor internet services I think it is a welcome development for a Nigerian to acquire the company instead of these other investors from outside the country.

My reasons:

1. Foreign investors would result to capital flight since most of the ROI would always be sent abroad to build their economies.

2. The company going under would lead to a lot of job losses and possible dent to tax revenue from the govt

3.MTN buying etisalat would further solidify their presence and weaken competition since they are way ahead competitively.

These are my thoughts though, a mere hypothesis may not actually be the truth.

Open to criticisms

I think stupidity is when you blur the plate number from the rear while the front view is still there.

Celebrities and fake lifestyles...
