This can't be stated enough.

Men, save; invest for your old selves. Higher chances you will be abandoned by the same people you made sacrifices for in your youth. Worse still, you'll be blamed for that. You'll be accused of failing to "bond" with your kids, which, let's face it, is a luxury most men can't afford with the harsh economic realities.

That's not news anyone

Gun violence in US is alarming.

With an estimated total number of overall firearms in civilian possession at 433.9 million, there won't be peace in such country

Sweden has formally joined NATO as the 32nd member of the alliance — ending decades of neutrality — as concerns about Russian aggression in Europe have spiked following the war in Ukraine.


Sweden is now a NATO member. Thank you all Allies for welcoming us as the 32nd member. We will strive for unity, solidarity and burden-sharing, and will fully adhere to the Washington Treaty values: freedom, democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. Stronger together.

The report came up with a scenario for growth if the UK had stayed inside the EU, and compared it to forecasts the Office for Budget Responsibility made in March last year.

Brexit has cost the UK £140bn so far, according to new analysis, and could see the nation £311bn worse off by the middle of the next decade, according to a new report.

Economists and analysts at Cambridge Econometrics - commissioned by London's mayor, Sadiq Khan - have modelled how the UK's economy would have acted were it still in the European Union.

This was compared to data published by the Office for Budget of Responsibility in March 2023, and forecasts based on those data. Those official forecasts have since been downgraded as of November last year.

The headline findings from the report include lower growth, lower employment, strong negative impacts on investment, imports falling more than exports, and a growing gap between London and the rest of the UK.


The report analysed the gross value added - GVA - which is a measure of how much value is added by an area through the production of goods and the actions of services.

Cambridge Econometrics says it found UK GVA was £2,207bn in 2023 under current circumstances, and will be £2,771bn by 2035.

But without Brexit, the organisation states the UK would have had a GVA of £2,347bn in 2023, and it would have reached £3,082bn by 2035.

This equates to GVA being 6% lower in 2023 than it would have been without Brexit, and 10.1% lower in 2035.

They found that, by 2035, the UK is anticipated to have three million fewer jobs, 32% lower investment, 5% lower exports and 16% lower imports, than it would have had if the UK had not left the EU.

Cambridge Econometrics also found Brexit is expected to cause the productivity gap between London and the rest of the UK to widen further.

The scenario which included the UK in the EU used an E3ME model, which is used transnationally for forecasting. It includes data from UN, OECD, World Bank, IMF, the ONS and Eurostat.

The report says it tried to "isolate and subtract" the "Brexit effect" from factors like trade and investment in the main scenario - which it says is "effectively modelling a scenario in which other factors (eg, the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine) took place but Brexit did not".

George Soros


George Soros is the richest forex trader in the world.

Born Schwartz György in 1930 in Hungary, he migrated to the UK in 1947. He studied at the London School of Economics and graduated with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in philosophy.

Soros is a hedge fund manager and philanthropist. While he doesn’t invest in currency pairs alone, the foreign exchange market has played a key role in his career. He started by building his own hedge fund in 1969, after several years of trading European stocks for clients in New York. Today we call it the Quantum Fund.

Soros is infamous as the man who broke the Bank of England. In September 1992, he built an enormous short position in pounds, effectively betting against the British currency. He ended up with more than $1 billion in net profits. Generating such a fortune in a single day was unprecedented.

The investor’s move caused the UK government to withdraw the pound from the European ERM. Up until that point, the sterling’s rate was artificially maintained close to the Deutsche Mark (DM – Germany’s national currency before the euro), with the minimum rate set at DM 2.773. However, Soros considered the minimum rate too high and bet against the pound.

As a rule, forex traders’ decision making depends on market events. Interestingly, Soros’ 10 billion pound trade was one of the very few instances when a trader’s decision making actually shaped the market. The UK’s ruling Conservative Party lost credibility and didn’t return to power until 2010 including because of that move.

Net Worth
Soros’ net worth was at its height in March 2017. Forbes estimated his holdings at $25.2 billion. He was the 19th richest person at the time.

Today, people estimate his net worth at $8.3 billion. As of 2020, Soros ranks 162nd on the Forbes list of richest individuals. The figure is still impressive considering that he transferred about $20 billion to his Open Society Foundations for philanthropy.

$100 now 1m in Zimbabwe as FX rate plunges to its lowest

The Zimbabwean dollar, on Tuesday, weakened to over 10,160 against the US dollar in the spot market.

The depreciation is the first time since the currency was reintroduced in 2019.

According to a Bloomberg report, though being a millionaire would be great news for most people, in Zimbabwe it underpins the country’s economic woes.

The decline means that anyone in the country with $100 is now a millionaire in local currency terms.

The Zimbabwean dollar remained just below that level at 9,973, according to data posted on the country’s central bank’s website.

The local unit, according to the report, has lost almost 40 percent of its value against the dollar on the official market so far this year — making it the worst-performing currency in the world.

The parallel market rate also surpassed the milestone — trading at between Z$12,000 to Z$14,000 according to ZimPriceCheck.com, a website that monitors both official and parallel exchange rates in the country.

Nice to hear from you. Like you said, everytime I travel, my mindset changes and truly the best form of education is travel.

I had no skill set before leaving Nigeria maybe I had some background in SQL. So sometimes I laugh at people when they say in lizard in Nigeria can not become lion in America. America is called the land of opportunities for a reason as long as you continue to build yourself and surround yourself with positive minded people which has really helped me alot.

Even with all the ups and down, I made exactly $113,630 in 2023 in my logistics business and I'm praying for more opportunities.

Never regret leaving Nigeria and if u have the same goal too, kindly see it to an end. Learn a skill too.

Nigeria will always be my home after retirement but now, Nigeria is my favorite vacation spot

FrankNetter:
My first full year working as a nurse, I made hella money. Specifically $133,000. Armed with my USA passport, I have traveled to Ethiopia, Mozambique, Portugal. With each trip, my mindset changes. I currently have no regrets ditching medical school and leaving Nigeria.
Maybe one day, I will write about my trips. Maybe I will fall back in love with writing. For now, I will read through my posts and relish the simpler times.
