a weaker naira means that it will be cheaper to produce goods in nigeria and sell to the world!
this should be an employment opportunity for hardworking people and entrepreneurs.

Kurukere economics! It would cost more to buy machinery for manufacturing in Naija.There is no electricity. Currency depreciation and devaluation just reduced your networth by 25% ie your money buys a lot less!!

Disclaimer: Please oh, this inspiration was gotten from my head. Attending a wedding, and currently listening to happy day by patoranking.
I decided to put a few reasons why i feel a guy should get married. I feel marriage is a beautiful thing.
Congrats to those celebrating today.

And nobody should bash me oh.Lol

That being said, here are my reasons

Marriage allows you show love in a way that nothing else can.

Marriage provides stable enviroment for kids

it allows you to fully commit yourself to one person

Life is much easier when you have a partner by your side.

The idea of commiting to someone who accepts you for who you are, is really cool.

Marriage is a money saver.

Through marriage the woman you love, can become part of your family.

Marriage is been ordained by God, so it actually reduces your chances of commiting immoral sin, fornication and the rest.

Marriage helps in creating an awesome family to make up for the family, some of us never had.

And finally, marriage simply makes logical sense.

Feel free to add yours.

Only a fool would believe that marriage is a money saver!! No wonder many adults have kids without saving up and taking care of them. Marriage in an investment into a solid future for your kids if you take good care of them!!

. report was false and baseless, saying that salaries of most civil servant have been paid, while plans were on to ensure that the outstanding are paid before the year end.

There are still oustanding balances to be paid!! How daft and cluelessly ignorant are these folks??

I smell GEJ advisers imposing tax on remittances...

From your post, it clearly shows that he hasn't formally introduced you to his parents at their family home, doing on so on ur convocation day could have be embarrassing to you and him as well. Some parents can't take it lightly when you don't bring your would-be partner to their home first. Maybe he's planning on formal introduction to his family at their family home.

No wonder US refuses to sell arms to Naija thru terrorists

Why is it that deluded folks don't see any problem if it's a Muslim/Muslim ticket?
Can Muslims vote a Christian/Christian Ticket?
How come Naija has never had a Christian/Christian ticket?
Christians voted for Abiola/Tofa- both Muslims.. When are Muslims going to return the favor instead of asking for more??

Sanusi said this about NNPC and we wanted to crucify him!

Kenai:
Please, OP, what I know about is an e-wallet scheme for farmers where they'd access their accounts and perform transactions via their mobile phones.
I don't know anything about this story you're telling us here. Perhaps you misundertood, but what I just stated above is what I've been seeing in various newspaper publications.
Not once did I read about them promising mobile phones

Then you must have been reading a lot about wizkid and Mercy Johnson's stories to have missed this news!! A simple google search would have put your doubt to rest.

Loose or lose

Good work ethics! He started working for NBA as a scout without pay.. He was a VP at Denver before his new GM gig with raptors. Moral of the story: do your work first, money and fame will follow.

Alphaoscar:
first it was Buhari,
then ACF,
later it was the Muslims,
then they blame the opposition politicians,
the blame shift to America,
later them talk say Na Chad,
Presently, the blame is on France,
Clueless ministers talking rubbish since 1900..




we don't know they will blame next. maybe Na Seun or Nairalanders.

See bible of blame...

revolt:
omo this is real rocket science sha!! Anyways Us doesn't import pmc they refine so competition and govt policies can affect pricing in a way it won't affect profits.

Nigeria imports .

Naija prices are based on crude oil prices set at New York Mercantile Exchange. Refining cost is constant, thus, Naija importers are paying less.. Yar'dua slashed prices and Naija didn't go broke.. We have a profligate govt that only knows how to spend but doesn't know how to cut their spending or give people a replieve.

bollify:
I quiet disagree with you on this. The human mind is not completely tabular raza at birth. There are some innate knowledge for varying individual at birth. Some of it develop to become a talent. For example, when a new born heard a shout, or something fearful, they shout, cry or do something to react to that strange occurence. If you take a new born child away from his or her mother, he or she will show disapprval either by crying or otherwise. That is the knowledge available to them at that instant and there is no experience that cos them to realise something is wrong somewhere.

You are talking about learned conditioning and involuntary action.. A deaf child at birth can still emote and feel pain.. But brain is an empty slate at birth

Bayswater:
That's Fashola playing to the gallery again saying rubbish under the pretence of not being an economist. He has economic advisers, he could have sought their advise before displaying his hypocrisy. That a barrel of oil is now $65 does not mean the cost of producing it or bringing it to the pump will change. Pump price has not been reduced in the UK, usa and across Europe. His attempt at using a bushmeat seller's logic has failed woefully.

Even if we refine the crude oil here, the cost if producing a barrel of oil would still be more than $65 per barrel. Even the average cost of producing the shale which people consider cheaper, is above $70 per barrel. As long as we don't refine crude here, it would take months for us to see reduction in pump prices.

Our greedy oil marketers too will not allow us feel the positive impact even when they start getting oil at reduced prices, they would want to maximise their profit.

Lie!! Prices dropped in the US to its lowest in 5 years...

Mungo Park discovered River Niger when people were there before he came. How about 3/2=1.5, but our primary school teachers would have us believe that it's indivisible... No number is indivisible!!

BlackTechnology:
This policy is good and will be made better if the CBN reduce the rate to 6% for agriculture mining construction and manufacturing sectors and increase the rate to 20% for traders(importers).


In short


Import duties should be increased by 1,000% for finished imported products to discourage importation and encourage local production by making foreign finished products too expensive for people to buy which will force people to patronize local products thereby strengthening local industrialization.


Government should partner foreign firms and set up industries whose products we import.

A nation that imports almost everything should not increase trarrifs to 1000%.. Are u willing to pay 1000% on your phone or tab that you are using to post on NL??
Have u tried borrowing?? The banks charge as much as 30% collateralised security..

It seems Flavor Flav is their designer .. #justsaying

Morkavictor:
This man should stop forming neutral,he is clearly an opposition party supporter.

Even though he campaigned for GEJ to become president??

Cos Nigerians don't like to talk about S3X , but love making babies..

When he, Soyinka, was campaigning for GEJ to be made president by declaring Yar'dua dead, he was called a nationalist and democrat.. But he's now a traitor for calling out the president..

PontiffMaximus:
why are we complaining about this when there are many other nations with excellent military that will be willing to strike a training deal with us. china, japan, isreal, russia, britain, germany etc.

Why is FG crying bad not finding them?

Naija is finished with this type of blind patriotic following. Advanced countries like South Korea and Japan hold joint military exercises while brainless folks are lauding FG for cancelling a military exercise. Our soldiers are poorly and trained and equiped. Our slightest chance of being updated with some latest skills, we blow it.. Naija is irredeemably finished!!

Godsun2013:
Nigeria Custom Recruitment 2015 is going on right now all you have to do is send your Resumé/ C.V to their email. Customrecruitmentnigeria@gmail.com.. I got this from my uncle who is a police officer. I have sent mine oo.

Smammer looking for prey.. Upload custom publication on national daily.

Atiku didn't step down as VP when he decamped to AC in 06/07 election period...There is a precedent!

MillionDollars:
Mumu mumu stories

Bet you didn't read the article.. Want to keep oppressing Naija youth? Hide it in a book. Or U did, but don't have any idea of what it's talking out?? Blame our jaundiced educational system for not teaching u " logical reasoning"

Deranged IGP invoking status before the house not to mention the speaker even though he had violated court sanctioned " status quo" by invading NASS and not recognizing the speaker... Telling me and acting after the fact-- cloning stupidity since 100BC.

eunisam:
frustration has a way of affecting one's brain negatively.
Anyway,how much is the grand total of the tiths,donation and others. Oga you are still owning the church for the chairs,landed property and the shelters and even the prayer and preaching(sermon) you received from the church in 15 years.

Stupidity explained:
He can't lay claim to of the possessions you listed. The pastor and his family own them.

So our deranged IGP had an intelligence report that some house members-a.ka thugs were about to invade NASS and acted, but didn't have any intelligence report that Kano Mosque might have been attacked by BH?

Fatty cells and stretch marks...

What are our strategies when our Naira is crashing; ECA depleted; foreign reserve dwindles.. Govt is broke and swimming in debt!!

kmariko:
really , if we are a nation of cants

how come we built Abuja from scratch in the first place.

if we are a nation of can'ts how come we are still a democratic nation after 15 years

if we are a nation of can'ts how come eko atlantic is slowly rising.

if we are a nation of can'ts how come abuja -kaduna lines are built

if we are a nation of can'ts compare Akwa Ibom now and 10 years ago,

the list goes on

You built Abuja yet it's not Lagos built and planned by colonialists. Abuja has no railway system. No cebtralized public water supply system. No centralised sewage and drainage system. No function traffic system. No centralized crime/CCTV system. Until u visit other countries in Southern and Northern African countries, you would realise that Abuja is a dummy city...
