U are the fool here,No amount of money that forex cant collect from you non.....thy dey collect small from you today na because you never get big one to give them😂🤣😂

Well I must not be as foolish as your elders at home because I managed to remain profitable while trading for over 15 years

OdogwuJesus:
You probably may not know how forex market psychology work . Sometimes you feel like counting your loss and getting out of the market but something will tell you this is a strong support or resistance level that It will reverse from that level until all the accounts is wipe off .

That is why you are advised to Trade what you can afford to loose .

I'm an active forex trader with over 15 years of experience.....This is nothing new hence why I gtrain noobs/newbies on the importance of STOP LOSS!

You didn't lose 3.7 million dollars to Forex, you lost it to a risky ponzi scheme claiming they can double or quadriple your investments within a short time by trading in Forex. There's no way you would trade Forex by yourself prodfessionally and not know about STOP LOSS!

Even if we believed you had enough money to use over 3 million dollars to trade Forex, there's no way we can believe you're foolish enough to watch it all go down the drain unless you're a CHRONIC GAMBLER!

Richie6:
And you think it's legal right?

I know it's legal......Lawyer followed process and the court approved the order, don't know what you're arguing here?

Richie6:
Oga it doesn't work that way okay.

It works exactly that way since I own 4 properties in Lagos and this is how my lawyer deals with tenants....Okay!

Fine, for yearly renters, serve them quit notice as soon as 6 months is left on the lease, once lease expires they are no longer tenants, serve them a one week letter of intention to repossess, at that point any tenant is free to sign a new lease with the new price.....Court cannot stop landlords from choosing not to renew a lease

This one don't know that dem no dey threaten people like Trump, him go double down and deport twice as much, he might even make it a priority to deport the Houndurans first.....Baba werey

Thunderfayamods:
Dumbass ass ! What y'all do is to pick phone and display your ignorance. Now take that again as an insult, I don't care!
You lack knowledge and you are not ready to accept it... olodo! Have a good day and ask your mom to wear you your pampas.

Heal.....Get well soon bro!

Thunderfayamods:
Telling you that you are ignorant is not an insult but if you feel insulted eat your cookie!
Instead of you to accept the fact that you are uninformed you are spewing gibberish!

You obviously didn't receive love at home while growing up, otherwise someone would have taught you how to pass correction along without behaving like a cave man......Again, this kind of tone is unacceptable for someone that claims to be knowledgeable or intellectual or did you just use Google?

Thunderfayamods:
Another ignorant person spotted. Trump cannot pardon himself against state offenses. Educate yourself before commenting.

You feel better throwing insults? You want a cookie?

Waste of taxpayers money, if this man can win an election with a felony on his record, isn't it time the justice dept and this foolish judge stop the charade?

You can sentence him all you want but as president he can pardon himself, so what's the POINT?

IfnobeGod20:
I won't go further than this because you don't know me and I don't know you, everyone can only speak at the level of their exposure.
The bottom line is still this, no amount of money paid as salary to Nigerians can stop corruption, Except Nigerians have new orientation and contentment. Many that have been caught in the web of graft in this country are people that have seen money before and they are still caught up in embezzlement.
NATIONAL REORIENTATION IS THE ANSWER YO OUR PANACEA.

Now you're talking! We can't stop corruption but we can reduce it, there's a reason the defense budget is usually the largest in countries like the USA and the uK, we need to treat our security forces better and provide incentives for doing a good job! Imagine our youths turning their nose up at professions like police, teacher, military and so on, they see the job as suffering rather than honorable......We can't continue like this!

Yen yen yen, everybody talks about the problem but nobody wants to be part of the solution. If government is useless, private individuals should be useful, there's nothing stopping each financially okay individual to adpot a street or two, provide borehole for them, teach them how to grow food, basic survival things.

This was how the Jews were able to overcome tragedy after the Holocaust but for nigerians na cho cho cho, no workings!

As regards the bolded......
Who will bell the cat?

The people facing the most pain should lead the fight, it won't certainly be me that's outside the coutnry earning in a month what was people earn in a year

IfnobeGod20:
Mr. Man, no amount of money paid to greedy individuals can make them not to collect bribe. Since the time of Buhari policemen salary has improved. The lowest paying in police is collecting over 100k. That's level 3. A school cert person but that have not stopped them from collecting bribe till date.
All we need in the country is national orientation and contentment. If Nigerians are contented, public officials would not be embezzling public patrimony. If you like pay Nigerians 1m monthly, it wouldn't stop them financially corrupting themselves. That's just the nature of Nigerians.
Putting mercenary in place for checking and balance.
Yes, no doubt if people are punished for their wrong doing that would serve as deterrent to others but can nepotism allow us to do that? In Nigeria will don't do things holistically, that has been our greatest undoing. Punishing one and freeing another or look elsewhere is one of the problems we are facing in this country.

You're full of shit.....As someone with several police officers as family and friends, lowest paid police is not collecting 100k , why do you people love spreading lamba?

Anatolia:
From my comments, I agreed that you would be stressed no matter where you are but it is a different kind of stress in Naija. Naija case is an issue of survival, like you would not be able to feed. In America, there are food banks to help people who are hungry. Do you have such in Naija. There is section 8 housing in America, do you have such in Naija?

So are you saying going to food banks and living in section 8 in a country that's the most powerful in the world is considered LIVING? I understand 9ja has conditioned most of una to think in terms of extremes but my friend that is not LIVING! Let me also surprise you, food banks are not everywhere and if you have a job even a minimum wage one you might still not qualify for section 8 housing.

For people that are citizens over here, living in section 8 is STRESSFUL LIVING, it might not conform to your definition based on many things you've seen as a Nigerian but to the average American, it is simply BULLSHIT! hat's like saying you're happy staying in wood kios near the swamp in Lagos or in neighborhoods where killers reside, DEY PLAY!

Many have kpai themselves because of that type of living, the people living in section 8 are considered GHETTO over here, that's not a reputation you want to emulate, survival or not, that's STRESSFUL!

bixton:
All these things you're saying is right but those who are responsible for writing or amending the constitution will not do what you're saying as long as it will affect them.
We need to nigerianize our own to fit the time, season and mentality of the people who govern and those governed.

We need a bloody revolution, any other measure won't work because like you said both the people that govern and the citizens are mentally challenged!

bixton:
All over the world there will always be people who work in government agencies that will not be paid well....
Also note that it's not about whether someone is paid well or not, it's about integrity of which many of us in the country lack.....

You see those sets of people who set on fire those who steal tomatoes, pepper and maggi, will not do same to their relatives who are in government offices who do worse, they will be the ones to protect them.
Are these not the same set of people who at first collect monies as political party delegates to elect an aspirant who may not even be the best and then at the national elections do the same thing.

That is why it needs to be enshrined in the Constitution in which no president or figure can repeal! Integrity is lost when survival becomes paramount, you can preach moral and integrity to someone starving but you won't have the same effect as someone who gives him or her FOOD!

The money saved from corruption can be set towards economical growth and prosperity, this is how China did it and my goodness it is MAGNIFICENT!

Anatolia:
Bro, your comments show you are disconnected from the reality of Nigeria. You left Naija 15 years ago when things were still good in Naija. How many people Dey earn the millions you are talking about. The vast majority of people are earning 100 x less than that. In 2021, cleaners were paid 8k in Naija and they were still owed 6 months arrears in a public organization.

The comparison came from you people always saying if you earn in dollars you are not stressed, so I said let's compare it to those making millions of Naira per month but are now exposed to the costs associated with living abroad such as high utilties and rent, would that person earning millions in 9ja be able to afford anything if his or her costs were like those abroad?

Reason am, na you no get empathy for those making minimum wage abroad claiming they have only themselves to blame, well same can be said of Nigerians making 70k or less per month, only person to blame na YOURSELF!

Finally, I left 9ja 15 years ago but I come home regularly at least every year and have numerous investments in 9ja, I know fully well of the reality on ground!

bixton:
It's good you said our issue is not the laws but about implementation....

You also talked about institutions being independent...
Now, it's no hidden thing that the NPF which is also one of the enforcement agencies also collects bail of which they always tell us in the police station that bail is free and even lawyers who are supposed to kick against such also aid on such !!!!!
Looking at the nature of Nigeria and the kind of people we are, how do you make supposed independent institutions become truly independent when the personalities don't have the intent of doing the right thing?
Who is ready to change this kind of mindset in government agencies because the man at the top might want to do it right but the subordinates will thwart his efforts and it also happens vice versa....

Examples! Examples!! Examples!!! The first and second sets of corrupt people to be hanged or sent to a firing squad would set a great example and the ultimate deterrence. NPF would not need to collect money if they were paid well and on time. No serious police officer would want to jeopardize his or her job/life if the job pays well and the consequence for illegal activity is very high.

The system does not need to be perfect, it only needs to have a solid foundation. If people can be set ablaze for stealing tomatoes or maggi, what stops the nation from applying the same hing to people who steal the destiny of millions of people?

Anatolia:
Bro, the USA is a land of opportunities. You can literally work three jobs. Cleaners drive cars that is how good things are. If you cannot afford basic things in the US na your fault. Nigeria even if you try your best, everything will stop frustrate you. Suffering pass suffering.

Same Nigeria you have people making millions per month and they live better than some people in the USA. I've been living and working in the USA for 15 years, e be like say the movies you dey watch dey deceive you, the three jobs you mentioned, hope you saved money for health issues, back when I just got to the USA, one week working at the factroy I know wetin my body see and that was in a good economy o, the economy nowadays you go get luck if you have a full time job not to talk of 2 or 3 at the same time

Yes cleaners drive cars but can you pay car note? Most car purchase are financed as long as you have a job and no bad thing on your credit profile. Furthermore, you can buy a car but you fit pay car insurance? Imagine buying car for 8k and you're spending like $2k per year to maintain insurance on it.......I swear most of una don't really know what's going on

bixton:
I am not expecting any saviour. These things can be done minimally and strategically and we will still achieve something worthwhile. No matter what policies are put in place people will still find a way to cheat the system. Even if we put death penalty just like some Asian countries some people will even still have the urge to do otherwise. Our foremost aim should be to ensure the economy improves and the lives of the populace is better. Gradually corruption will also be mitigated to the minimal.

You're not listening! How do you mitigate corruption without proper consequences and enforcement? I audit risk for a living so can you tell me about these magical mitigation tactics of yours that would work without congressional ammendments to the Constitution? We have preventative control(Policies, laws, audits) which stops corruption before it starts, we have detective which detects it (EFCC, ICPC) and corrective which is the consequence part (Electric chair, hanging, jail, fines).

Nigeria's problem has never been lack of laws but enforcement and you can't enforce something without setting examples. EFCC and other enforcement agencies should be indpendent and have their own budget and tools. Judiciary should be indpendent as well,

Furthermore, the Asian countries you mentioned implemented one of the strongest mitigation tactics the world has ever seen, even Western countries are jealous of their system. A country as stubborn and unpatriotic as Nigeria needs something similar, any other thing na BLAH BLAH BLAH!

bixton:
There's nothing wrong with the constitution. It's out mentality that's our greatest problem.

No need to argue, make una keep waiting for imaginary saviour to come and end corruption and poverty

Anatolia:
Okay, there is no doubt anyone who is not a millionaire will be stressed. But stress has grades. The person chose to buy fruits which are optional. That same 32 dollars can get you one month worth of regular chicken for a single individual. This can be earned in 5 h. How much chicken can the Nigerian minimum wage of 5h afford and how long will it last?

You're still missing the point, in Nigeria you can still rent a room for peanuts, abroad it would cost you an arm and a leg. You're focusing on one thing (food) rather than the entire picture (rent, food, taxes, utilities etc.). Let me paint a better picture for you, how can someone be earning over 2 million Naira per month in 9ja and still not be able to afford rent on a 2 bedroom flat? No be juju be that?

This is the situation minimum wage workers face in the USA, they earn the money but the cost no make sense. Give that man in 9ja one million per month and then ask him to pay 5 times the rent, 3 times the electricity bills and so on, that man will not be able to afford SHIN SHIN! So abeg all stress na stress, na until you find yourself in such situation you go know say no be only people in 9ja dey suffer!

Anatolia:
Your argument is not coherent. On one hand you said I am reasoning without reality and on another hand you are saying imagine Nigeria. You definitely are living in delulu land and need to comeback to reality.

Comprehension is the problem here, what I wrote was clear and concise enough! Go back to my original comment, anybody making the minimum wage in any country is not LIVING, such a person is just SURVIVING! Whether you're in 9ja or USA, if you earn the minimum, even the smallest of costs would cause you to stress!

bixton:
Let's not deceive ourselves even if the country has be damaged for 200 years it can be rebuilt within 3 years at least critical sectors that will boost the other sectors of the economy and the good results will be visibly seen and the positive impacts felt by the masses.
The country can be run by one man's ideology but he has to have people who will work with his ideology and let's hope and believe that it's something that is ideal and not some imaginary of trial and error approach system. The man should be able to also have people who would play supervisory roles and ensure they keep him updates with realistic reports and the president should be to also ascertain those who are being truthful with him and also ensure anyone who is only interested in eating public funds and getting over fat should be prosecuted and serve prison time to the fullest.

Theory is often misrepresented as reality, a country like Nigeria with the population and ethnic/religious differences, zero harmonization/patriotism and over 60% of the budget going towards servicing existing obligations, NADA can be done in 3 years......ABEG STOP THE LAMBA!

My main point remains the Consitution written as of now does not explicitly punish corrupt officials. It does not curb the excesses of government and as long as this remains the same, wishing for one imaginary superman of a president to turn the country to Dubai is simply COMICAL.......In fact, it would be just like watching one of Sabinus' skits

Majority of Nigerians are intellectually deficient! Do we even understand how the Nigerian government works? How can one man fix a country that's been broken for over 50 years? How would he convince the hungry lions in the Legislative branch to not pad the budget, to not seek billlions for cars and other goodies?

Una really believe Osibanjo won't borrow money or remove subsidy? Keep waiting for that imaginary hero instead of demanding a change to the Constitution and death penalty for corrupt officials. Una really funny

Anatolia:
Bro, you are reasoning with emotions not logic. Americans can afford rent, housing, health with less than 100 dollars. What can a Nigerian salary afford the average Nigerian?

You're reasoning without reality, Nigeria jagajaga hence why nothing surprises most of us but imagine Nigeria was a great country and you still dey earn the lowest of the low income, you go happy? You go happy if someone came up to you and said $32 on groceries is nothing, you should be grateful?

Some of y'all just dey shout minimum wage but don't realize after housing, health, utilities and misc spending what is left for the average American is about $100 per paycheck or less(If na minimum wage you dey make for America, wahlahi you're not LIVING!). Americans have seen rent and groceries increase by an average of 30% over the past 2 years, that $32 might be nothing for someone with a nice office job but for my guy wey dey flip burger or dey do security inside cold, that $32 NA DIE O

You're simply a mumu man, nothing more or less! Number one rule, your life is very valuable don't ever ever think of ending it! Rule number 2, move away from your surroundings where nobodyknows you or her, join clubs, something that gives your life new meaning. For 9ja as long as you have money, ladies will naturally gravitate towards you so DATE & SMASH as many as possible while being SAFE!

Finally, there's no drug for getting over a woman/divorce as powerful as a younger, sexier and caring woman that blows your mind away......Soon you'll be smiling from head to toes at the sight or thought of your newfound love, NO DULLING!

One would think if he's given the chance to run this country, him go perform pass Jesus Christ......Awon ole gbo gbo, all of them are after stomach infrastructure

jazzman7711:
YOU WILL REMAIN FOREVER POOR WITH THIS ATTITUDE.

TELL ME HOW ANYBODY CAN SIMULTANEOUSLY DECRY POVERTY IN NIGERIA, AND THEN LAMBAST AND ATTACK THE IDEA OF MILLIONS OF TOURISTS FLOODING INTO THE COUNTRY?

THE DREAM OF EVERY SINGLE NATION ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH?

A GUARANTOR OF MILLIONS OF JOBS?

EITHER YOU ARE EXTREMELY STUPID WITH A VERY LOW IQ, OR YOU ARE A HATEFUL SABOTEUR AND LOSER WHO WANTS NOTHING GOOD FOR THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE YOUR OWN LIFE IS WORTHLESS.

First of all, typing in CAPS and BOLD is amateurish....Grow up! Next, pray you manage to have a career that I've had so far, na poverty dey cloud your judgment nothing else!

Honestly most of you keyboard warriors just type jargon online without any critical thinking, are most of these people tourists or Nigerians visiting home? It never dawned on you that some of these people might want to invest in Nigeria? Who would want to invest knowing their investments loses as much as 50 to 70% of its value within 2 years? I've built houses in 9ja, started two businesses, invested in stocks and so on, I've done my part, what have you done?

Finally, stop spewing crap and educate yourself, compare my response to your comment, if you reflect deeply and honestly, you would confirm that you're the one living the worthless life defending the indefensible......Shalom!
