Nigerians and their voyeuristic behavior. Why did they UnCloth the woman and left the man with his clothes on?

When one thinks he has seen it all of the animalistic behaivour of Nigerians, another one pops up like a dated sap.

What disturbs me is the process: they to took off her clothe and then unhooked the bra. What kinda man freaking does that? And then the guys are virtually untouched as their vests are on.

Such digust!

I support this PMB administration but he just has to balance things up. If Buhari continues with this ongoing approach, his survival rate as the president would drain to the dregs.

My view on GBPUSD movement...

Nice chart but I see a bullish move here. (My opinion)

A reverse Head & Shoulder (H & S). Price consolidates, or acts as a support/resistance at that major price level - circled for clarity.

Beyond the realms of comprehension of folks.
True but Nigeria has to get the basics right before you can start talking about and counting peripheral job creation.

For example
Last night,when Liecester won the EPobs were created in liecester city because of the extra shifts and temporary workers needed for the celebrations.
Bars,clubs restaurants,sovenieurs etc
All those stocks of beer,wine and soda that were depleted quicker than normal have to be replaced. That equals more production run.

The problems in Nigeria is that Nigeria makes nothing.

Where she does, the value chain is not deep.
Therefore, the benefits are reap elsewhere.
It is like talking about space travel. Learn to drive on the road first.

Absolutely disagree.

When it comes to art and culture, everything that's needed is made in Nigeria - from the brooms to the attires.

Question we should ask: is there a chance we are overlooking this vast opportunity that can in turn be a source of revenue and job creation?


Frawzey.

Figuratively, he means our cultural heritage, if well packaged, can create thousands of jobs for states that can look inward and see the opportunity that lies therein.

Hi all,

Its nice that we have more ladies joining in and learning to trade. Trading is a journey to knowing yourself, asides the money it brings in. So to have an edge in the market, you have to be able to spend time and find your own unique approach to trading - something that works for you. This unique approach might be a combination of different methods and tools that you have tried and tested over time to give you a good risk-reward-ratio (RRR). Yes, sometimes it takes time and perseverance to get to that point but if you can endure and listen carefully to the vibes of the market, then you will find your way. Next year,
1) get a journal; record your trades.
2)Write/type what happened in the market when you lost, what happened in the market when you made more than the expected reward - a news, a hammer;
3)Monitor your entry points and exits
4)Ask questions here and other forums.

This curiousity would create a unique trading experience that would help find your True North and eventually become a sophisticated trader.

Read this for some motivation What is it like to make millions trading? and some psychology The Power Of Embracing Pain

I wish everyone a prosperous 2016 with more greens.

Two Steps From Hell - Kogan (The shortest, most beautiful filmscore I have listened to in a long while)

Two Steps From Hell is an epic music band. Kogan is from TSFH's Classical Vol 2 album that came out this summer.

Brief:
Two Steps From Hell was formed back in 2006 when Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix joined forces to write original music for movie trailers. 9 years later, TSFH has been featured in hundreds of movie ads, including some of the biggest blockbusters of recent time, as well as thousands of TV ads and programs. TSFH released their first public album, Invincible, in 2009, establishing epic music as a new and unique musical genre. There are now 9 public albums and millions of fans worldwide. Look for concerts in 2016.

The scored/created the soundtrack for the following movies:

Harry Potter
Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness
The Dark Knight
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
2012
Captain America: The First Avenger
The Avengers
X-Men: First Class
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Inception
World War Z

Their song Heart of Courage was used in the beginning of UEFA Euro 2012 matches, in the beginning of the London 2012 Olympic games athletics finals and also in a promotional video for the 2011 World Youth Day in Madrid.

Obama knows he has FAILED with his useless Jihad

Look how deflated and defeated he looks now

His legacies are:

Making the US weaker and more hated than ever.

Making the world far worse than it was 7yrs back.

He only won because of a savvy marketing campaign.

He objectively made the country, and the world much worse

The few "accomplishments" he made will simply be overturned in the next administration

He will be remembered as a huge embarrassment and one of the worst presidents!

While Bush and Buchanan are the best, right?

Go post this on Reddit or Quora and we wouldn't even get to see the trash you typed up here because it would be downvoted kabillion times.

Despite the fact that Kemi is my big sister, I have to be truthful and honest. Aunty Kemi has only a first degree in economics from the University of East London, not even Oxford or Cambridge or even Kings college. She was initially an investment banker in Lagos before being made the commissioner for finance in Ogun state. She has no clout in the international business world and little or no contacts. To nominate her as a successor to NOI, is a big mistake, for those are shoes to big for her to wear. Also, these are perilous times for experimentation. In the wake of the JP Morgan delisting and the inevitable Barclays followup, what we need is someone who has friends in high places and can liase with these institutions for a common ground, Aunty Kemi does not have such influence. This was a mistake by the President. I won't be surprised if there is a cabinet reshuffle six months down the line.

Succinctly spoken.

The shoe is too big for Kemi. OBJ's recommendation gave her the post in Ogun State and now as a finance minister.

Honestly, I hope she would douse my doubts about her competence as a finance minister in turbulent times as this. We need highly competent ministers at this time.

AM soooo pissed with some Nairalanders over their comments over Alamieyeseigha especially those calling him a thief ...

While I am NOT Saying we shouldn't speak against corruption, we should look specifically at the undertone (Just like Saraki case) ...

Alamieyeseigha was impeached in 2005 NOT Because he was the only corrupt Governor then, but because he stood against OBJ third term bid and was working with Atiku to be President ...

A thief remains a thief!

When a governor of a state in a developing African country buys the most expensive wrist watch in the world, don't you think he should be probed? Or did you not hear that he also bought luxury apartments in Hamptons festooned with Rolls Royce while being a governor? Are you really sane to defend a man with £1m in cash? Was he the only one? No. Was he caught? Yes! So who cares what transpired between him and OBJ!

>TL:DR
Alams is not dead until an autopsy is carried out to confirm what killed him.

Alot of criminals like John Stonehouse have faked their deaths when they found out that a looming prosecution was near. Read this: www.theguardian.com/theguardian/from-the-archive-blog/2013/apr/26/john-stonehouse-faked-death

Some weeks ago, Alams talked about the fracas he had with OBJ. And then the UK demanded for his extradition and now he's dead? Really?

The Alams of Bayelsa would not treat himself in a Nigerian hospital. He would've gone to Egypt or UAE (countries with good healthcare infrastructure and not a close ally to the UK) to receive treatments. But you know, when you want to do something really crazy that involves bribery and forgery, Nigeria is the best location. Plus a government owned hospital is the best place because if an investigation is carried out that concludes he's not dead, they won't shut it down unlike a private hospital that would suffer a big media blackmail and licenses revoked forever - too much risk for a private hospital.

Finally, for a man to dress like a woman to leave the prison, there's nothing such a man wouldn't do to avoid prosecution - even faking his own death.

what about the transfer fee?

And do i need to have an account with firstbank?

is it going to be sent to an account in the US or it's going to be picked up like moneygram?

please enlighten me.

You don't need to change it to USD. Transfer fee depends on how much you want to post - not more than 15%

No. You don't need an account to transfer money.

And yes, the recipient would cash out the money via Western Union.

honeric01:
I wanted to send some money via WU to the US using Access bank western union, i was told the rate is #201/$1 but the transfer fee was pegged at #16,800.

The fee is damn too high, is there any other way to send money to the US without spending this high on transfer fees and exchange rate.

Transfer fee was pegged at 17k? You mean they'd charge you the mentioned amount?

I use First Bank's money transfer to send money abroad with no hassle or bogus charges.

If I'd suggest any modification to the CCB on asset declaration, liabilities should be included too - not assets alone. Let's know how much loan/debt they have hanging on thier necks for us to be able to validate their net worth.

However, I give kudos to PMB & Osinbajo for making a giant leap in transparency for the first time in the 16 years of our democracy. For the first time, we know what the President truly has in asset.

The world has moved on but African youths are still clinging to the past.

Its sad yet ironic that youths with smartphones, in tune with happenings around the world, who wish that the nation develops, are fretting about who comes from where even in the 21st century.

More blacks are serving in the Obama administration than any other administration in the American history, yet nobody is talking about it. He appointed all of them. Was he bias? Yes. Are they getting the job done? Definitely. So who cares!

Kwame Nkrumah said: "I'm not an African because I was born in Africa. I'm an African because Africa was born in me".

Its the content that matters, not where he/she was born.

If there's anything to be worried about, its the senators and house of reps members that come from our respective zones but do absolutely nothing!

WoW! .

I'm curious however as to how TESLA's new "power wall" will affect the industry.

More grease to your elbow sir. I hope to become a great business-person like you someday.

Tesla's Power Wall will disrupt not only the energy/oil industry, it would set a new trend in renewable energy industry. Sadly, these Solar companies are yet to grow exponentially to where we could say they have changed how man sources for energy because only Iceland and Germany still produce half of its energy via renewable sources. However, one thing is sure: fossil fuels as man's primary source of energy can only get smaller till it phases out completely.

Finally, its best to wait when TPW starts shipping January 2016. I hope they don't disappoint after that Musk's powerful presentation.

With almost all the ballots counted, results from the Greek referendum show voters decisively rejecting the terms of an international bailout.

Figures published by the interior ministry showed nearly 62% of those whose ballots had been counted voting "No", against 38% voting "Yes".

Greece's governing Syriza party had campaigned for a "No", saying the bailout terms were humiliating.

Their opponents warned that this could see Greece ejected from the eurozone.

"Today we celebrate the victory of democracy, but tomorrow all together we continue and complete a national effort for exiting this crisis," Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in a televised address.

He said that voters had granted him "not a mandate against Europe, but a mandate to find a sustainable solution that will take us out of this vicious circle of austerity

Bolded means he's open to negotiation. Greece is sheet without the Euro. Her ports are dead!
