That's why you're a bigot. You can accept oppression as long as the oppressor is from your tribe. A trademark of eternal bigots. And no, stop dragging yoruba into your personal ideology.

Bullfallo:
Not wanting to have a child isn’t a choice per say. I hate to put myself into pressure or do things just because others are doing it, my lifestyle has always be different from public opinion.

This justification is somewhat weak. It won't take you too far before you "fold."

I live a live of comfort. I am rich and comfortable but not for many mouths. Because I don’t want adjust resources from my lifestyle.

Another weak reason. The responsibility of child raising does not rest solely on the man. Even if you choose to be with a full-time housewife, it is still cheaper to train a child (financially) than marry a wife. Certainly more expensive to be with a girlfriend. So what are you afraid of, really?

You can't completely dissociate yourself from a norm so long as you remain a social being. There are many things you may not want to do to impress anyone, like dancing on tiktok, hosting a big wedding, etc. Others like attending a school, getting a job, or having kids are not necessarily meant to appease the public.

There are many justifiable reasons why a man may not want a biological child, though. But your reason has to be strong enough to avoid regrets.

Genetically,there's something wrong with the average black man

That's one thing about some women. They 'hate' dark skin but end up marrying someone with dark skin. Of all people, Mide shouldn't be the one insulting another woman over her skin colour. How can you marry an Afeez in his dark glory and then insult another woman for being dark? Total M A D N E S S.

And you, Habibat, has got a very low self-esteem. No use Mide as excuse. Contemplating bleaching over an insult from a woman with a dark-skin husband and dark-skin kids, only shows that you've never been proud of your skin colour.

In this life, no gree for anybody. If they come after your dark melanin skin, go after their washed-up light skin.

I don't like people because of money, maybe I would have been a trophy wife by now if that's what I'm after. What kind of money will a man have that'll even make me desperate sef when I'm not hungry myself.

The truth is most young men of these days have too much baggages, if they are not smoking, they drink and take drugs and other substances. The few good ones have insecurity issues and expect you to respond to them like a hookup girl (make I no bore you with stories) .
My happiness now is I've cleared my conscience and posterity shall not judge me bad

I got that, dear. Don't blame yourself over nothing. From what I've seen in your follow-up writing, you haven't done anything wrong.

I'm only concerned that a man who gives you money in that manner, for no 'known reason,' won't alter your perception about love relationships, as we see mainly in Nigeria. But on second thought, I've never known you to be poor or struggling. Certainly not you. I'm sorry if my previous post appeared judgmental.

How am I exploiting him. My mom has spoken with him and he said he has no motive behind anything he gives me and I should not bother myself over anything. Guess what he did after his lengthy conversation with my mom, he sent a huge money to me again through his company

Ah, you had to return to this thread? Well, it's very thoughtful of him, though. He's trying to raise your standard so much that guys earning 500k after a 30-day hard labour and struggle will no longer appeal to you.

When a man gives you this kind of money for no reason, he's only making the men around you right now who are no match financially less appealing to you. He will continue until you begin to hate your boyfriend. When no other can match him, his intention will be revealed. For now, enjoy your life, baby girl.

By the way, why u never cash the money? Waiting for my approval?

femisplash:

CBN as at yesterday had also reduced custom duty, so we expect a corresponding reduction in prices of imported goods, unless of course Nigerians do what they do best- which is continued exploitation and greed. Also, all level of government should roll up their sleeves and invest in critical sectors in their respective states.

Prices of goods will drop significantly when pump price returns to Buhari's price -- > #200

He is not derailing the topic. If Naira gains significantly without a corresponding drop in the prices of goods, how does that benefit you as an individual? I just want to know.

@Acidosis thr is fire on the mountain. Unconfirmed report on stock market trade says dollars is selling for 1k and below on the street today.pls call your supplier and confirm....wahala for speculators lol

Lol. You still don't get the point, do you? I'm not advocating for currency hoarders. I don't "hoard" either. I invest when I have or need to.

I'm even of the perception that, apart from political sentiments and hoarding, the majority, which are the ordinary Nigerians want Naira to gain so they can go back to the life they had under Buhari. I belong to that school of reasoning.

I saw the unconfirmed report. But have you asked yourself why anyone will sell over 10k dollars at the black market in Abuja at a rate that is significantly lower than CBN and licensed BDC rates? Funny. Do you still think that an ordinary Nigerian is behind this?

NL1960:


"who invested in dollar-denominated assets ".

Is investing in dollar denominated assets the same thing as buying dollars for speculation or for keeps?.

Why do people buy dollar-based mutual funds? For fun? Everyone is buying for keeps, including those of you "investing" in real estates.

oluayebenz:


Finding all means to defend your hoarded dollars 😂

Writing episode here won't make your hoarded dollar to rise ever again.

@bolded 😂. Who is threatening who?

No, I don't have any hoarded dollar. But trying to labell those who invested in dollar-denominated assets as enemies of Nigeria will be resisted.

Funny, I just listed several federal government-licensed platforms offering dollar-based investments, but none has been able to respond. Why? You people's "unpatriotic patriotism" no dey ever reach federal-government licensed Stanbic IBTC dollar funds?

Ask yourself, "what" is the enemy of Nigeria? A consumer who buys a dollar-denominated mutual funds, the platform that offers the funds, or the federal government that licensed these platforms?? All I see is an unparalleled hypocrisy or hate masked as patriotism to unpatriotic leaders. Let's jointly dare the federal government to name the top dollar investors with Stanbic, ARM, Anchoria, etc. if e sure for them.

Again, why the urge and incessant warnings to sell dollars? To who? You and the new sets of "hoarders" at cheaper rates? 😅

Streetinvestor2:
I am very sure of my stand and can bet against it.I knew the dollar rise to #1900 after floating was manipulation. And if you are sure on your side.Pls do sell all your asset and even borrow and go buy dollars. True demand and supply is making naira find its true value.
And in countries like China they would have executed the binance criminals. This country is too democratic in some crimes against the nation. Tell me what changed in our economy physical after floating of naira. Did our production reduced or consumption from imported goods increase.So what was driving the exchange rate daily if not manipulative speculation from enemies of the country.
Dollars will touch down to 1k soon because the genuine people who use it for business and other things have reduced thr demand for it.The demand will increase within #800-#1000 bend.I speak as a business man.

The demand for dollar has obviously reduced like you rightly said. I'm never arguing against that. If not for any other reason, many Nigerians have become too broke to afford foreign products (like toks cars). Japa has become unattractive either (unaffordable is the right word actually). This is not about enemies of Nigeria at work.

I've lived in Nigeria long enough to realise that when people like you threaten people to sell their dollars, then something obviously isn't right. If dollar is truly losing against the Naira (through appropriate fiscal and monetary policies), there wouldn't be a need to issue threats or warnings. No reasonable person wants to lose money. So, why are you and the federal government mouthpieces "threatening" people to sell off their dollars? Fear of depleting the reserves and borrowed funds?

You'll also be making a mistake thinking that the majority of Nigerians (ordinary people) have dollar stashed up somewhere. People wey dey wait make dollar fall so they can activate their plan. Lol. Even me, I dey wait like this make e fall to N600😅

You're making another big mistake thinking the ordinary people are the enemies of Nigeria. Na ordinary people released the Binance executive from a "heavily-guarded" detention?? Those who have lived in Nigeria long enough understand too much to blame the ordinary people on NL. Hehe.

ogawisdom:


Lol it's about protecting my wealth. Only a sensible person will understand.

I really wonder o.

More than 20 Fintechs have and still sell dollar-based investments to Nigerians. And I'm not referring to some unknown Fintechs, but rather the likes of Piggyvest, Cowrywise, Risevest, etc.

Nearly all asset management companies licensed by the federal government sell dollar-based investments. Some insurance companies do same. Even banks are not exempted. The likes of Stanbic IBTC offer dollar-based mutual funds.

When people say Nigerians are unpatriotic or scream too much about Binance, I tend to wonder.. I guess Binance is for the public poor, while the likes of Stanbic IBTC, ARM, FSDH, Anchoria Asset Mgt, etc. are for the big guys.

Streetinvestor2:
Go and buy more now.You will get your full at 1300-1350.I started warning your likes in stock trade when it was #1600..I told them to expect it at 1k by end of the yr but it looks it is going to happen faster.
Very soon we will be seeing them on third main land bridge. Why should dollar exchange in the first place above 1k even with the floating. The useless binance executive why is he on the run.The government should make sure they hang the one in custody. And I don't even know why they are still allowing the remaining 1500 bdc to operate. Let the bank handle all forex matter

You can never be too sure, bro. You seem more confident than Cardoso who had to increase MPR twice within 4 weeks just to get us to where we are right now. I had to put that here so you don't get too carried away with the Binance charade.

oluayebenz:


@bolded....

Jus lemme laugh to it 😂😄

Dey play fans....

Whoever that hoarded USD should better release it on time, that's just my advice.
We moveeee

Your first mistake is to assume that hoarders lack tactics. 😅Nigeria has never lacked hoarders. As long as Nigerian politicians live, hoarders will remain.

You're looking in the wrong direction by asking hoarders on a TBills thread to offload their dollars. Are politicians a joke to you? The only way to tame hoarding is to keep up with the positive trend. Offloading is not as important as ensuring that the Naira continues to gain. Na small thing dey make Nigerians panic. Offloading now doesn't mean they won't buy again tomorrow at the slightest fall.

oluayebenz:


I don't see naira falling again.... Atleast for now.

There is absolutely no reason why the dollar should fall in the manner we have seen since Tinubu took over in the first place. Everything we see happening right now is caused by the cluelessness of one man.

Tinubu met the dollar at ₦700-₦800. He floated the Naira, claiming that the government could no longer subsidize the dollar. He also "removed" subsidy, and we all saw the consequences within a very short time (in few days).

What's happening right now is that Tinubu has realised his mistakes and is now doing everything within his powers to take us back to the Buhari era.

Firstly, the dollar is now being sold to FX vendors at a subsidised rate.

Secondly, petrol is still being subsidised with almost double the amount the Buhari government paid as subsidy.

It wouldn't be bad for Tinubu to come out and apologise for the grave mistakes he caused Nigerians. The entire BDC and Binance charade we saw would have still had the same "effect" without floating or "removing" subsidy.

If we look at it critically, the so-called monies he claimed he saved from "subsidy removal" have been completely wiped out by inflation. Some reports say that states like Delta got about a 25% increase in allocation in 2024 compared to 2023. That is a big loss, an insult. How does a 25% increase help anyone when people now pay as much as 300% of what they paid in 2023 to get a tin of Three Crown milk? To add to the injury, salaries have remained stagnant for government workers.

If exchange rate ever gets to 1k or under 1k, his next move will be to pay more subsidy on fuel, so Nigerians can go back to the old subsidized pump price. LOL.

Tinubu's mistake is completely unpardonable anywhere in the world.

This helps to squeeze out and mop up any loose naira lying about in the economy for speculators to gamble on dollars.I hope this increases the momentum of the current crash of dollar from now to the nearest future and we don't have to beg France to use CFA anymore.

How do you pay back after mopping up everything with a promise of 24% interest??

This your view get as e be. Thanks for sharing.

What are your thoughts?

FreeStuffsNG:
“Until his escape, Nadeem Anjarwalla, who holds British and Kenyan nationalities and served as Binance’s Africa Regional Manager, was being tried by Nigerian courts.


“The suspect escaped while under a 14-day remand order by a court in Nigeria. He was scheduled to appear before the court again

Where are those naysayers and unpatriotic elements saying he will not get a red notice?
He is done for! Fugitive on the run. He was first unfortunate to work for a criminal organisation involved in money laundering and financing terrorism now unfortunate to become a fugitive on the run and on interpol list.

Mallam Ribadu will smoke him out and squeeze those involved until they sing like canary.
May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Says a nobody who is probably yet to pay his rent somewhere in Okoko... 😅😅

Ribadu will, Tinubu shall, bla bla bla...from a nobody.

I hate to say this, but women enabled this nonsense. Look at this critically, most of his fans are women, his friends are women, most of his enablers and followers on social media are also women. The people who invited him for the event are women.

It's dangerous when women encourage or enable men to become women. These men will come with their hidden masculinities to displace you where and when it matters.

It's never the same experience for women who try to become men. The difference is very clear.

Women should stop encouraging men to become women. When cross dressers like Bob have no one supporting their m a d ness, they always adjust. How do you all think that Bob will end at just cross dressing? Of course, he's coming for the awards. He hasn't even started yet.

Esthered:


Please expatiate.

Ahaha... Esther ooo.

Okay, here is the thing. God obviously loves children since the Bible says that they are His heritage. What that verse means is that children are given to us to nurture, love, show care, and lead to eternal life since they know nothing about God or His kingdom. When we take out that "eternal life," "love," and "care" responsibilities out of the way, then the whole idea of birthing more children becomes meaningless to God. It probably just becomes a biological or social exercise, just like buying a piece of cake to feel good or a pension plan to escape poverty, depression, and loneliness in old age (like most Nigerians do anyway).

...But that's my interpretation of the scriptures. I don't know, but your MOGs may hold a different view.

NuclearWinter:


The whole point of modern day Judaism in either it's secularist form, reformed mutation or rabbinical religiousity is the rejection of Jesus Christ.

The rejection of Christ and the denunciation of Christ and Christianity are the fundamental pillars of Judaism.

While Mohammedism promotes Mohammed as the prophet of God with a cornerstone belief that Jesus is the first and truest Muslim whom will assist Muslims to install universal Islamism, Judaism exists solely to destroy Christianity and blog out the name of Christ.

You can not be a Jew without a deep seethed hatred for Christ.

Every afternoon in synagogues across the world Jews make a silent prayer condemning Christ and Christians.

Judaism isn't a racial profile but a fanatical religious creed based on hatred towards Christ and the church .

It's for this reason that Jews today accept the curse of deicide which their fathers accepted for killing Christ.

Jews and no other people are responsible for Christ death and are at the forefront persecuting the church since the day Christ was killed.

Every religion is based on certain prejudices and belief systems that appear as "hatred" towards the practices of others. You can't single out Judaism for condemnation. And last time I checked, I didn't see Jews sending rockets or suicide bombers to Christian nations out of this so-called deep-seated hatred.

The essence of the true gospel is to hate sin, not sinners. For instance, within Christianity, it is biblically correct for a Christian to condemn idol worship. Many Nigerian Christians have physically destroyed idols from their past, while others pray daily against these idols.

So it is unreasonable to expect a Buddhist or a Jew to respect Jesus. The real concern should be whether Jews unprovokedly kill people in Christian nations or force their religion on others, which isn't the case.

Although I have seen reports of Jews physically assaulting Christians in Israel, I have also seen report that confirms that that Israel isn't among the top 20 nations where Christians face the most persecution. If you love Christians so much, countries like Nigeria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, Syria, and Pakistan should be more concerning since they present and record more persecutions.

Most religions are intolerant anyway. Even among traditional worshippers in Nigeria, we see how masquerades flog people.

ahmedio2017:

How do you mean sir?
I'm less concerned with you, we are only analyzing history.

Why does the Je.w had to killed your god in the first instance?

And why is that boy righteousn.ess defending the killer of his god? That's my own plight

Blaming the Jews over the death of Jesus is like blaming all Urhobo, Isoko, and Ijaw people over the death of Nigerian soldiers in Okuama and Okoloba communities. This is pretty much the main source of antisemitism.

For proper context, Jesus was crucified by Roman authorities who saw him as a threat to their power and teachings. Yesterday was Palm Sunday and, as I rightly shared in my Sunday school class, even the Jews celebrated him. That palm you see everywhere on a Palm Sunday is symbolic. That was how Jesus was celebrated as he entered Jerusalem in grand style. He was celebrated by who? The same Jews you said hated Jesus.

Their (the public) disappointment only came because they thought Jesus was coming to destroy the oppressive Roman government under Pontius Pilate, but he (Christ) had a bigger and more important mission, which was to lay down his life (your own version of "killed" ). This is the basis and pretty much the beginning of Christianity.

So, each time you try mocking Jesus or spreading the jew-hate over Jesus's death, you're actually preaching the gospel. What is the gospel? To preach love to all humanity, including those who were directly involved in his crucifixion.

You and Mr. righteousness can condemn the incessant killings in the middle east region by Hamas and the Israeli government without spreading hate towards a people.

epainos:

I always entertain myself with these two confused people.

Naija has got a lot of problems with terrorists and bandits, these ones are fighting over Hamas, Palestinians, and Israelis who definitely don't even pretend to act as if you exist whenever Nigerianis attacked. Just imagine the extent these ones have taken religion. Lol.

I don't pray you die young, but just know that if you are killed, no single Palestinian or Israeli will ever send any condolence. Na what we call.... "e don happen, e don happen".

Continue showing yourselves. Keep entertaining us. Keep fighting for frontpage position to entertain us.

Very funny. And no government sponsors more people to these so called terrorist countries than the Nigerian government.

Currently, about N3.5m is budgeted per head for hajj. I believe around the same amount will be spent on Christian pilgrimage.

ahmedio2017:




They are the most usel.ess sect on earth....
Je.w that hate their god like mad to the extent that they even killed their so called god o is what they are celebrating isn't that stupi.dity
and mad.ness.

You can't use this logic to mock Christians, though. Every right thinking Christian knows very well that Christ surrendered himself to be killed by the same people he loves so much, for a purpose.

I don't expect you to understand. You're a Muslim, Mr. Ahmed. You should hold zero or few strong opinions about Christianity.

Seun:

You are assuming that the person in the wheelchair could not walk at all before he got into the wheelchair.

Miracles are real. I have seen a blind man regain his sight "live and direct" at a Reinhard Bonnke's crusade.
And no, it wasn't a fake miracle. He never called anyone to "testify" or come out to prove that his miracles are genuine. He does his thing and leaves. My encounter happened right in the midst of a huge crowd. People who noticed this particular miracle won't be more than 5 as things were happening at different points at a time.

Am I talking about being dead or where did you see death in my response.

Here, sir 👇👇

incogni2o:

Seems you don't know the Joy that's comes with having children much more, grandchildren.seeing them grow and the legacy you'll leave behind.

If the Joy of Fatherhood or being a Grandparent, or even seeing your own Children and Groundchildren around seem meaningless to you, That's you and what you have framed your mind to beleive.

it is not same for most People.

As per Death, Yes Life and Living is a priviledge, even the Bible says, the dead can't praise God.

Being alive is an oportunity to feel, experience and do all to the glory of God.

The Joy of having Kids, training them and leaving a good legacy is part of that oppurtunity. Moreso God Himself blessed Man with the opportunity. Be Fruitful and multiply and replenish the Earth and subdue it.

The mistake you're making is assume you're a more lovable father than I am. Hehe... 😅

The difference between you and I is that you expect everyone to show interest in "multiplying" through sex. I don't.

You're quoting too many scriptures to justify your own personal desires and lust. That verse of the scripture you're quoting is not for everyone. Are you Adam?? Why didn't Jesus get a wife and kids to fulfill that scripture if truly God wants everyone to "multiply" and replenish the earth?

There are more important things God wants Christians to do, but "replenishing" the earth with potential candidates of hell isn't one.

Kids get their genes from their 4 grandparents (about 25% each). In other words, 50% from their father's side and another 50% from their mother's side. Nobody in the world understands how these genes combine to form a new human.

If you share the same feature with your parents, then you are simply an exemption. That's not the norm for everyone.
