Bank rates and parallel markets are the same. You lack knowledge of the issues, you are just crying senselessly.

I will be back to quote you when this policy flops.
You only consider one part...without examining other critical areas and you think you can arrive at a wholesome conclusion?

Cheers Mr

SmartMen:


I have not used my domiciliary account for more than 5 years now... yet I have been receiving dollars and pounds payment every month. they are wasting their time.

What platform do you recommend?

gigabyte13:
If no be madness
Why pay them in foreign currency before....
Black man with black brain....
You convert your own naira right in your own country to equivalent of foreign currencies before you send it.
Una just like to dey use nonsense oppressed unasef for this country.
Person go dey spend dollars and pounds anyhow in a country with her own currency......?
Even government officials are not excempted

Let me ask you: what's the purpose of a dorm account?

AntiChristian:
I see many abusing the government without just one solution to the imbroglio we find ourselves in.

There's actually no solution that we Nigerians won't find a way to bridge!

Nigeria go better!
May Allah guide our leaders and us the led!

It's because you are not directly affected.
Imagine someone sending you 10kUSD only for the money to be converted to naira at whatever rates the CBN likes....you are calling this robbery a solution...so sad

Hopez456:
I have sent it.

Please Can you confirm if it was delivered?
Can't seem to find it.

aribisala0:

My last question?Is that how the conversation started? Is that where the issue of God first arose? Was I the one that introduced God into discussion

It is too early for stupid talk
If you y
don't have anything sensible to say go and sleep?

Lol
God bless you!

Ningishzida:


The above is a comment on one of the threads I found on the frontpage today.

Unfortunately, the author thinks that the problem is with Nigerians because they either have no product to export or they are unwilling to go into export business. I believe a lot of Nigerians hold this same opinion as well but the problem is political and I will try to explain in layman's terms.

I reside in Germany as a foreigner but I visit Nigeria at least once every year. When I'm in Germany, I order lots of personal products from ecommerce websites, ranging from wears, tech gadgets, electronics and other accessories. A lot of these items are manufactured and shipped from Asia. And when they arrive Germany, DHL or Hermes delivers it to my doorstep without me having to pay any extra dime besides what I have payed to the seller for shipping.

Now, when it comes to ordering items from Nigeria, the story is entirely different. On two occasions in the past when I ordered custom sewn wears from Tailors in Nigeria, I had to pay almost twice the amount of the clothing as custom charges to German customs because the package was coming from Nigeria.
The first time, I thought it was the packaging, therefore, on the second occasion, I asked the Tailors to package it same way the Chinese package the wears I order from them. But it changed nothing. I still had to pay the same custom charges because the item was coming from Nigeria. For this reason, I no longer order items from Nigeria when I'm in Germany. But I still order items from China and other Asian countries on almost a weekly basis because I don't have to pay custom fees for items originating from Asia.

The above is just an example of how Europe uses custom fees to discourage their citizens from buying any processed item from Africa.
If it were an edible processed item, a state-sponsored fake research will be carried out immediately to "scientifically" discover that the processed goods coming from Africa contain insecticides and other unsafe chemicals, then they will use the research as a guise to ban it in Europe indefinitely.

Europe would rather stay hungry than to allow any goods processed in an African country enter their market. They know by doing so, they are creating jobs for Africans in Africa and therefore allowing Africa'seconomy to grow. If Africans are allowed to develop their economy;
* where will the cheap African labor and resources that Europe built their economy upon come from?
* How will THE FOUNDATIONAL NARRATIVE (that Africans are uncivilized slaves that needs the benevolence of they the civilized Europeans in order to survive) continue to be subconsciously programmed into the world?

I will explain the term I coined as "THE FOUNDATIONAL NARRATIVE" in one of my future posts. But for now, just know that it is the narrative that led to the current world where every non-Negro race tries to be "whites" and tries as much to erase "blacks" away from their families. The Bible, Quran were the original tools used to lay down the narrative but at the moment, it is the mainstream media AKA Rothschild family-owned medias that are now the primary proponents.


A country's citizen can only become exporters if the international market are not hindering the countrh from exporting their processed items.
The world as it stands today are controlled by the Caucasians followed by the Arabs, and then the Asians. All these three groups of people are united because they managed to single out the Negro race as being the greatest threat to their survival. They might disagree on any other matter but when it comes to suppressing all the countries where the Negroes exist on earth, they will always unite to suppress the Negroes.

Unless our leaders start signing trade deals that will enable citizens of Nigeria export processed items to Europe or even Asia, Nigeria will continue to be import dependent and any private citizen that decide to venture into the business of exporting processed items will find themselves fighting an uphill battle that they can never survive on their own.

If Cotedivoire and Ghana for example decide that only a particular percentage of cocoa goes and establish chocolate factories and also invite companies to do same, what will happen?

As much as there's an agenda to suppress Africa, we must note that Africans too support this agenda when they connive with the outsiders for quick personal gains.

aribisala0:

Tell me ?Did I introduce God to you?
Who brought God to the conversation

Your last question: "How did God get the idea?"

Going by this question, you have an idea of who 'God' is...if not you wouldn't have asked

Greenfaces:
yes. The schools submit data on the basis of best students. They usually expect the beneficiaries to return to Nigeria after the program and serve the country for three to 5 years or return the money spent on them if they don't want to.

You can actually apply to PTDF without school submitting your data and you don't have to be a best student.

Guess you were referring to how it was being done in time past.

There's even an ongoing application as we speak

malali:
[b]Asiwaju,

"jagaban" of the world, its time for you to show us what you can do.

Show us your Jagaban......The war has started, Jagaban means "king of warriors"

The masses will protest and the protests will grow.....you might have some elites in your pockets with juicy appointments and contracts.
But the Nigerian masses have never failed to oust a president held hostage.

You should have either floated the dollar or removed subsidy, doing both together without any economic safety net in place was idiotic, to be honest.

I see you are copying global trends of raising interests rates, I want to warn you that countries where these policies work, have a very dynamic social welfare system and very low unemployment rate.

We have neither in Nigeria, food palliatives are not reliable social welfare ....If you continue in that direction, you will suffocate the poor even more, because you are about to make the devalued currency even harder to get.

You also have a bunch of clueless governors who lack revenue generating skills, I wonder why the protests are not against the governors, its time to "False Flag" those protests so the governors dont always point their finger to Aso rock.

Not even salary increments can solve the present crisis.

If you steal/loot 10 billion naira, all you have to do is look for bureau de change......they will change it to dollars...no question asked!!!!!!
There is nowhere in the world you can do that as easily as Nigeria.....so easy, you dont even need to speak English.
Thats our problem. If you want to withdraw 3 thousand dollars cash from an American or London bank you have to give them 2 days notice !!!!
Whereas on the streets of Lagos or Abuja you can purchase 10 million dollars cash if you have the Naira equivalent in 5 mins !!
Where is bureau de change getting physical dollars from ?? If they are buying it ?? Where are the sellers getting it from ??

Secure the naira, ban all dollar transaction now before kidnappers start demanding ransom in dollars,
Incentivize whistle blowers, you discover a hoard of ill gotten cash anywhere in Nigeria, you get 20%.
No physical transaction of more than 2 million, it has to be bank to bank, it has to be traceable.....if you allow large amounts of cash to appear and disappear easily, you will never solve insecurity.

If you dont address these "Fifth Columnists" . You can never fix the economy. You are just fetching water with a basket. If you dont plug the holes, you are only deceiving Nigerians....when you tell them to persevere .......economy will only get worse !!!

Act now before they give you the "Chibok" treatment.......you need to stop playing defense and go on the offensive.

Time is ticking, kidnappers, daily protests, insecurity, very organized opposition, will eventually lead to the downfall of this regime.[/b]

Hard counsel

nairalanda1:
It's nice, but 40MW won't do much for Taraba state though.

Just saying.

It's a good place to start from.
Some of those places mentioned don't have power at all.

aribisala0:

How did God get the idea?

You must know who God is before you can answer this.

Who is God?

Greenfaces:
but ptdf scholarship can't be rigged. They contact beneficiaries from the university data.

I don't know about that

aribisala0:

I don't know who or what God is
For many it is a daddy in the sky that they try to make very selfish deals with

you are just making up.a bullshit story
What is divine and divinity what does that mean
Those are just words without substance
The point is Men wrote a book and claimed God wrote it.
Everything else is just make believe. It was written by men

How did men get the idea to write things that had historical evidences and solid proof of a force beyond human?

God isn't a skydaddy. Neither is he one to make selfish deals with. Your perception of these truths on divinity is wrong.

To have a balanced knowledge on this, you need to consume a lot of materials....

Greenfaces:
I don't know of a single government scholarship that takes people abroad.

There's PTDF, scholarship under ministry of education to Russia, Mexico and a few other countries....

KIDfurniture:
Adeboye no wan pay?

It has nothing to do with him.
The school is stand alone. They have their management.

If the issue is beyond them, they can reach out to him but it's not his job to get them accredited

Munashak:
If a protest should start from the north, the southwest will demand y the north never staged any protest wen their son was in power , if it starts from the southeast, it will be that because obi didn't win🤣. Can u all see what we have gotten ourselves into? We have not seen anything

Lol na wa o....the North is in a fix

aribisala0:

What is inspiration
If God wrote it now did God get inspiration to write it?

Inspiration is divine influence upon a man to carry out a specific assignment.

Is God man?

Can God receive the divine when he's divine and the source of all divinity?

LordAdam16:


Mainstream commentary always lags.
FT is pointing out patterns others had uncovered years ago.
I'm past caring about the divergence.
History is cyclical, and every high-flying civilization hits this point.

Where we go from here depends on the elite.
But they're a huge disappointment, so que sera sera.

I use BPC for most paywalled articles. Remove the spaces. gitlab. com/ magnolia1234/ bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean

-Lord

Solid point

aribisala0:

God did not write any book
Men did
You were born one day and some men told you God wrote the bible
That is just something you were told based on where you were born
If you were born in another place they would have told you a different story.

So how did the men get the inspiration to write it?

franchasofficia:
Op leave them alone



All I can tell any Nigerian lady planning to migrate abroad is this; my dear sister, before you Japa, make sure you have a cool headed guy tied down in Nigeria waiting to marry and join you abroad oh as soon as you settle in your destination country because there is no husband abroad oh.


Husbands no de for Europe, UK, US, Canada, etc. Na for Nigeria you go find husband easily if you calm down and leave all those Instagram inspired fantasy life alone. Be real and you will find correct husband in Nigeria.


If you migrate abi Japa abroad as a Nigerian single lady without a serious boyfriend in Nigeria waiting to wife you, my sister, you will become the intimacy gadget of many men abroad oh and at the end they wont even commit to you to talk of talking about marrying you.


Get a serious boyfriend in Nigeria before you Japa oh


And to those Nigerian single ladies abroad, humble yourself and go back to Nigeria, you will definitely find husband, stop listening to your wild and lost friends telling you that if you marry and bring a guy from Nigeria to abroad that he will dump you when he arrives na lie cos Naija guys no wicked like Nigerian ladies.


Worst he can do is to cheat on you once in a while with side chicks, but to leave you completely is not possible unless you are a control freak and an extremely difficult woman

This advice hard oh...come back to Naija

wizelink:
What do you call a pastor whose children have houses in Abuja and lagos and leave abroad?

Many pastors have businesses they run....

chiboycue:



Civil servants are allowed to venture into agriculture while practicing as civil servant. There are some civil servants with viable farmlands that ventured in agriculture involving rearing chicken, goats, rabits etc and caah crops in the past and have used the proceeds from their farm to send their children

Those ones are like 5% of the people from the people she's referring to

Biodun556:


It is not true

Many of them are earning over a million monthly legitimately

How much is a million...check exchange rate for school fees...

Top management guyz earn like 45-70m-100m a year.... dependent on allowances and all...

You wan pay school fees of 25k pounds...living expenses like 15k....amongst others....you don dey spend like 45k pounds on one child....that's more than your annual salary

adexbols:
This isn't totally correct

It depends on how that child got there.

Scholarship?

She used the word 'send a child abroad' as in pay to send a child there.... scholarship has no business in the context of her speech

RepoMan007:
There are some high paying govt jobs. Let's not generalize for all. Though applicable to most.

See no matter how high it is, the person go think am well....it's not that easy bro.

Look at exchange rate for example...you annual salary don finish even as oga if you wan pay school fees alone

stagger:
Please, in Barbados I met Nigerian students paying as high as $25000 per semester for some degree programs.

A civil servant paying N37m per semester for a school abroad must be a very big thief.

Thank you

Biodun556:


She is talking rubbish. How much does she think level 16 and 17 civil servants are earning especially in Rivers, Lagos and federal?


Senior Civil servants in NNPC and some others will conveniently send their children abroad to school

State civil servants can't afford to send their kids abroad especially to countries like U.K, U.S, Canada....

Even federal...only those in parastatals can and they must be senior officials there like that NNPC You mentioned

Greenfaces:

Don't ask ridiculous questions. Many I know left this country on scholarship. Just because you know none doesn't make it a topic for debate

True scholarships exist but it doesn't change the fact that some civil servants steal from government

Biodun556:


She has no point

Some civil servants are earning good Salary. What of those working in CBN, NNPC, Nigeria communication commission etc they earn millions monthly

You can't say she has no point.
CBN, NNPC Vs University Lecturer,federal ministry...their allowance is far different yet they work for federal government.....

She has a point but it doesn't cover every civil servant as some may have businesses or inheritance or some other legit venture but they are surely 5% of the population

Hopez456:
Send a pm or drop ur mail if nobody has sent them to you.

Please I also need the book. I already sent a pm. Thank you

enjoy your life now first and wait till you get to the end of life

There's no enjoyment in reckless living.

If you won't enjoy the memories while about to exit the world, it isn't worth it.
