The sad thing is all posters above me but 1 did not read the article. Even if they did, they are most likely not able to comprehend as they have demonstrated lack of capacity for rational thinking.

1. The headline is grossly misleading. There is no connection between Islamic finance and the alleged N17b decline.
2. When headlines (journalists) themselves are watery, why will unintelligent people not lap it and twist narratives.
3. For God's sakes these are normal market swings that portend both opportunities and losses.

Come and see as I was laughing at their stupidity. And they will be claiming that they are educated.

How much is a grower and how long does it take to grow fully?

*BUHARI IS NOT THE PROBLEM !!*
*(SHARED)*
*Please read this post by VOA (Victor Okechukwu Anyaegbuna)*
*I repeat, PMB is not the problem of Nigeria. Take it or leave it.*

*WHO ARE THE KLEPTOCRATS?*

*Read this intriguing and provocative piece; yet Nigerians* *refuse to be provoked instead holding one man, Buhari, responsible for all their woes!*
*How far can you push a Nigerian before he reacts like an angry lion?*
*Isn't it a ridiculous mockery and insult that Nigerians are the only world citizens that when pushed to the wall, spend more energy to break the wall and cross over rather than fight back?*
*Read this and let's know who our real enemies and shameless oppressors are -*

*GOVERNORS, EX-GOVERNORS, SENATORS, REPS.* *Can't we do something to get rid of these big thieves that use our power against us?*

*ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!*
*NIGERIANS WAKE UP !!*
*A lion never shies away from a fight when it is hungry, neither does it blame the buffalo for resisting or refusing to be eaten.*
*How come our forefathers dared death and everything to give us a sane society?*
*Shaaaaaame!!!*

*Please endeavour to read this very interesting piece!*

*STATE OF THE NATION*
*A SELF DECEIVING COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA !!*

*Twenty-one senators currently receiving pensions from government as ex-governors and deputy governors.*

*The current senators who once served as governors are Bukola Saraki of Kwara, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano, Kabiru Gaya of Kano, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Theodore Orji of Abia, Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa, Sam Egwu of Ebonyi, Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara, Joshua Dariye of Plateau Jonah Jang of Plateau, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto, Ahmed Sani Yarima of Zamfara, Danjuma Goje of Gombe, Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe, Adamu Aliero of Kebbi, George Akume of Benue and Isiaka Adeleke of Osun.*

*The former deputy governors in the Senate are Ms Biodun Olujimi of Ekiti and Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe of Abia. Danladi Abubakar Sani served as the acting governor of Taraba state.*

*Many former governors are also in Buhari's Cabinet as Ministers. This includes: Ngige, Fayemi, Amaechi and Fashola (SAN)*

*In Akwa Ibom State, the law provides that ex governors and deputy governors receive pension equivalent to the salaries of the incumbent. The package also includes a new official car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide; a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million for his deputy governor.*

*In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic salaries for the ex-governor and deputy, one residential house for the former governor “anywhere of his choice in Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years and two cars for the deputy every four years.*

*It is alledged that in Lagos, a former governor will get two houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja, estimated at N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja. He also receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years, and a N30 million pension annually for life.*

*This is the reality for all the 21 ex govenors and deputy governors who are currently serving as senators. This same is also true of ex governors who are now serving as Ministers.*

*NOW I ASK:*
*How many years did these guys serve their states as governors and deputy governors?Is it more than 8years? Is that a reason to be entitled to pensions for life?* *Even if they are entitled to pension for life, must it be so outrageous?*

*As if that is not enough: HOW on earth can any public servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as a senator or minister, and still have the audacity to claim pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in Nigeria?*

*IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE. *

*Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister, you must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government at any level until you vacate office. This should also apply to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate President David Mark.*

*Yet these senators are in the Senate that is inviting the current finance minister to discuss the recession of Nigeria's economy. A senator pockets approximately 30 million naira monthly as salary and allowances. Our "honourables" are not interested to make laws that could restructure our country into economically autonomous federating States/Regions to save the country from sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria. The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians are busy arguing based on party, ethnic and affiliations while these enemies of state continue to rape us.*

*Do you know that it costs tax payers 290m Naira yearly to maintain each member of our National Assembly in a country where nothing works & 80% of population earn below 300 Naira a day ? A working day earning of a senator is more than a yearly income of a doctor; it's more than the salary of 42 Army generals or 48 professors or 70 commissioners of police or more than twice the pay of the US President or 9 times the salary of US congressmen.*

*It's high time the country had a referendum on those outrageous salaries of Senators, House of Representative members and other political office holders.*

*If you are seriously against the looting of our commonwealth in Nigeria, in the name of democracy, you can let this piece go viral by sharing it with as many of your contacts and groups too!*

"Oh yes, i will win the Kia Picanto" i told myself haven practiced with Understanding Mathematics

First person i saw on the Judges' Panel was Pastor Adedeji, my Headmaster in Primary School.

"IVAR!!!" he said. "What are you doing here?" You graduated in 1985

Adedeji decided to disgrace me ....."13 x 13" ? i said 131. "22 x 11" = 243....


The whole audience erupted in laughter and i wished the world could just end.

This almost happened to me years back while in the SAS.

We had just finished an aerial reconnaissance mission over the plains of enemy territory...

I was about removing my helmet and pack my things for the day.

I thought of taking a selfie for my chubby kid at home, being a doting father.

Suddenly as i stood smiling ... i saw my colleagues gasp and their eyes widen in raw, unadulterated FEAR.

Did you die?

Been a celibate for a year plus now.
See eh, just accept my proposal and I'll love you forever

Location Portharcourt.

Signing out.

Proposal accepted. Just come and move in.

The Electricity Power Reform Act ( Amendment) Bill 2018 passed by the House of Representatives last Tuesday prohibiting and criminalising estimated billing has proposed a one- year jail term and a fine of N 1m for defaulters.

The proposed law, which will be transmitted to the Senate for concurrence, and onward transmission to the President for his assent, also compels all electricity distribution companies to give prepaid meters to applicants within 30 days.

If assented to , the law will bar a Disco from disconnecting a consumer after the 30-day period within which a meter should be installed.

The Majority Leader of the House, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila , sponsored the bill in protest against the ‘crazy’ billing of consumers by the Discos.

The lawmaker had stated that estimated billing could only be used in situations where a consumer’ s meter could not be accessed by the service provider . He said Discos had however deemed estimated billing to be normal.

He said , “ Any regulation that allows estimation of bills when the actual consumption can be ascertained is against natural justice and equity and should not stand. ”

The majority leader had also said the bill, when passed into law , would stop estimated billing.

“ The bill will ensure that prepaid meters are installed in all houses , so long as the customers apply for the meters ,” he had said .

The House passed the bill upon the adoption of the committee report on the proposed law, following a public hearing held on June 5, 2018.

Gbajabiamila had , at the public hearing stated that there was nowhere in the world where electricity customers were billed arbitrarily .

Sections 68 to 72 are some of the amendments to the Principal Act . Section 68 states, “( 1) Estimated billing methodology is hereby prohibited in Nigeria.

“( 2) Every electricity consumer in Nigeria shall apply to the Electricity Distribution Company carrying out business within his (or her) jurisdiction for a prepaid meter and such consumer shall pay the regulated fee for prepaid meter to be installed in his ( or her) premises and the Electricity Distribution Company shall within 30 days or receiving the application and payment install the prepaid meter applied for in the premises of the consumer .

“( 3) Customers who elect to buy their prepaid meters through credit advancement metering implementation must state in their applications and such customers must be metered within 30 days of the receipt of their applications .
“( 4) All electricity charges or billings to the premises of every consumer shall be based strictly on prepaid metering and no consumer shall be made to pay any bill without a prepaid meter first being installed at the premises of the consumer. ”

In the new Section 69, the proposed law stipulates that the Disco serving the consumer, upon connection , must inform the customer in writing on the nature of the meter installed, tariff methodology and all other services available to the customer.

The new Section 70 states that in giving effect to the provisions of the Act, the National Electricity Regulatory Commission , as the regulatory body , must ensure that all licensed Discos comply with the provisions of this Act.

Owu = Cotton Owu = Thread

Edo version.

So thread is also called Owu in Edo? True true Yorubas and Binis are related.

toprealman:
Owu in Igbo slang means lack/absence of something essentially needed.

Yoruba meanings

Owu = Town
Owu = Cotton or any wooly material
Owu = Jealousy

These are the meanings I know.

Zoharariel:
Continue gobbling up your usual Amerikan propaganda like coca-cola without engaging your grey-matter.

Trying to convince brainwashed friends & acquaintances alike of the reality of the World has been a futile, fruitless, pointless task.

Any Sovereign State that refuses to surrender her natural resources to Amerika & the Empire at large for their mass plundering is automatically demonized & isolated.

North Korea is sitting on a $6 Trillion mineral resources and the AngloZionist Empire has been trying to lay its filthy blood-drenched hands on it for decades. You don't get to read this on CNN or BBC.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2017/07/03/north-korea-is-sitting-on-6-trillion-in-mineral-resources/amp/

The North Koreans are a happy & peaceful people but are resolute in defending their land & resources from predators & vampires like the iFUKUSA (Israel, France, UK & Amerika).

We saw what happened in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, and now we’re seeing the Amerikan imperialists go to work on Venezuela. Each time, with new intervention but the truth about what is actually going on becomes clearer by the day and an inevitable conflict that will bury Amerika is getting nearer.

The Amerika you so much adore is bankrupt economically, financially, politically, socially, racially, morally & spiritually.

The United Snakes has a current military budget of $1,134 Billion while Russia military budget is $61 Billion, being reduced to $46 Billion. Amerika has Trillion dollar budget & trade deficits. She has been borrowing $4 Billion a day. Debt levels are out of control, some say $250 trillion - but they're covering it up.

Cities like Detroit have lost half their population & look like Wild West ghost towns. It has a corrupt, broken, dysfunctional political system incapable of reforming itself.

It has all the warning signs of an empire in terminal decline. A bloated, out of control & very inefficient military establishment. A gross disparity between rich and poor and the flaunting of wealth. The debasement of the currency and looting of the public treasury. Irreversible and increasingly apparent decline in all areas.

The Empire is falling apart and is latching onto decade-long campaign to undermine sovereign states that have boycotted her useless currency - "The Petro-Dollar".

The only question is when, exactly how & what the catalyst for the collapse will be.

My advice to you is to keep your filthy mouth shut & be objective when next you read or watch anything coming from the western mainstream media about North Korea, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, China & Mother Russia.

dangoteinlaw:
it think a guy here protein0 deals on Xiaomi. Search him on Nairaland

Thanks. I got him.

dangoteinlaw:
will it even spoil? I am yet to see any Xiaomi with issues. Not to spoil a product but the whole infinix users around me keep changing screens, screens that did not even break or crack, hiannmm.. .mine broke from a serious fight and it's still working which I expected it to, coz that's the promise of gorilla glass. It will break, shatter but must still work

But should incase it happens, maybe if it falls in water etc nko? And also where can I get Xiaomi phone?

fibonacci2526:
Until they support a device for 2yrs by at least offering one OS update,then I can start saying they are trying in that regard. No Android OEM support their devices the way Xiaomi does with the exception of oneplus and pixel which is par for the course as they have limited devices.

But how can I repair it when anything happens to it? Can one get spare parts easily?

Between Buhari who tolerated Ayo Fayose's childishness and Obasanjo who had him impeached because he could not tolerate him, who is behaving like Abacha?

Between Buhari who is seeking a constitutional second term in office and Obasanjo who attempted to change the constitution to make him life president, who is behaving like Abacha?

Between Buhari who never withheld any state's allocation due to a misunderstanding with the Governor, and Obasanjo who withheld that of Lagos state because of Tinubu, who is a danger to our democracy?

Between Buhari who never committed a genocide on his people because of the killing of a army General in Plateau, and the one who massacred Odi for similar reasons, who is a tyrant?

Tinubu has reminded him to take his medications seriously.
