pansophist: When people say there is enjoyment in nigeria, it's about the communality, food, being the default, lack of civic responsibilitiee, and "freedom in chaos" such as hook up, bribery, abusing others ( eg sales girl, house boy) etc
Apart from these, I don't know exactly how Nigeria is fun. If one have adapted to their new home, it's far better fun than what's obtainable in naija
How can you enjoy a place with no light, dirty beaches that's not free, no free museum, architecture, library, etc?
And a preventable situation such as bad roads, dumb police officers and bad medical care can kill you in an instant?
Also, your money can only go far in a functioning society. It takes me about 20euros to fly from Amsterdam to the Spanish islands in Africa (Gran Canaria) , but can same amount take you from Lagos to Abuja by flight?
If I dump you in the desert with a million usd suitcase, your money becomee useless, just because the desert can't convert your cash to value.
It's the same thing with being wealthy in Nigeria. Hopefully the drugs you bought for headache is not fake. Imagine paying for your death.
So no, there is no enjoyment in a dysfunctional system. Just that human natures will adapt to bad situations and create fun in it. Just as the kids in the ghetto are having fun, but it's not good life.
You refer to it as the Spanish islands in Africa? There's no Spanish Islands in Africa except that which the Spanish thieves forcefully took. The western Europeans are savages.
proff010: IMF will soon advise dangote not to sell to local market in Nigeria.
What inferiority complex has done to the minds of Africans. They forget Britain and Germany invaded various parts of Nigeria 160 years ago and set up concentration camps in Kenya. Yet they continue to pay attention to western institutions like IMF who don't take their own advice.
Johnjustice: Let the market judge, it's all about needs and pricing, you are just one keypad jobless kid typing on his phone, you don't know what people will do. It's funny how people of low IQ jump to conclusions on issues concerning the world, from their small one room apartments.
Why won't people buy in naira when it's cheaper than dollars?
Do you know Nigeria crude quality is among the best in the world, the Brent crude, this quality is irresistible that is why till today people rush our crude.
In trade, it's all about quality, efficiency and pricing... people don't worship dollar like Nigerians do, dollar is not gold or treasure, it's just a currency. You made no point...give me two reasons why people won't buy in naira?
Let me test to see if you know what this issue is all about...
Nigeria worship dollar due to deeply ingrained colonial brainwashing, colonial mentality and inferiority complex. This is why Nigeria let's western Europe extract crude oil via their corporations send to Europe for refining. When will the black man hv sense
SoNature: As far as the oil industry is concerned, our major problem is the NNPC. NNPC is more like an administrative organisation that lacks the technical expertise to run its area of speciality. NNPC is a cash cow for politicians.
For instance, if you prevent upstream IOCs from sending their earnings to their headquarters, like you suggested, they will be forced to exit Nigeria. This is something we have been dealing with for years now - mass exodus of foreign investments. It has enormous economic implications.
If IOCs leave Nigeria, they will sell off their assets. Guess what, the NNPC doesn't have the technical knowledge to do what they do. If the NNPC had it, Nigeria would have used policies to send them back to their countries and grow our NNPC.
They don't hv the technical knowledge after how many years. The nnpc leadership hv inferiority complex and laziness. Nigeria graduates petroleum engineers every year. The technical knowledge isn't hard
onatisi: nobody will buy Naija oil in naira, oil is in abundance worldwide, and many countries are even boycotting naija oil . so we have to make trading easy for our buyers and that is in dollars. lets wait and see what BRICS will do in a couple of months.
Defeatist mentality. There are plenty African countries that will buy in naira. Middle Eastern partners will as well. It's the European savages seeking to preserve their hegemony that will insist on their currency
GerogeI: I have been saying this since, but this is a half measure. Maybe the CBN governor is testing the concepts.
Instead of calling it delay in remitting usd, Demand that all exports be paid for 50% in naira as a start. 90 days is too short a delay. Investors should repatriate funds once or twice in the year. The impact of those funds circulating in banks for 6 month is huge for the naira.
Instead of the bureaucracy of approving cash pooling every months. Export are paid for 50% in naira( which means a bank would have sold the naira and recieved the USD), banks to process investor repatriation twice in a year, no need for CBN oversight as bank will not err and loose their licence. This also means all oil companies will not be repatriating profits at same time, rather banks will have to schedule them based on availability of USD.
Also note that most of the oil companies export to their own refineries. Exporting in naira means they will start accumulating naira with their parent company to be able to by crude from them selves.
Cardoso and nnpc leadership are too colonially brainwashed to demand payment in naira from their western masters. Only if and when an angry mob burns down cbn offices will they get sense.
SoNature: Yemi Cardoso dey vex; he's trying all the tricks in the book to prove that his isn't a patchy-patchy qualification If NNPC had been a serious state-run oil corporation, Nigeria would have sent many IOCs back to their countries and kept all the USD here.
In the other news, I thought that with all these CBN policies flying up and down banks would stop Nigerians who have dorm accounts from accessing their hard-earned USD. I was happy when I went to bank yesterday and withdrew some real cash in USD
Your first paragraph has indeed said it all. There's nothing international about ExxonMobil, shell etc. These are corporations from imperial/colonial states. They are only present in western countries like UK Germany and host African countries that they exploit with the consent of the brainwashed Africans in leadership positions.
They are imperial oil companies. Their focus is export of nigeruan crude to the west robbing Nigeria of forex from refining and export.
All imperial oil companies should be sent back to their countries let Nigerian companies explore and refine crude.
hammer567: TAKE NOTE, WHAT THEY ARE CREATING IS MINI RUSSIA IN AFRICA.
PUTIN SEES HIMSELF AS SOME SOUGHT OF SAVIOUR, EXEPECT THOSE COUNTRIES TO START DOING VERY WELL.
RUSSIA IS NOT FRANCE.
Russia and China and the 3 countries themselves. Russia and China protects the three countries at the United Nations Security Council and vetoes evil plans of the west at the UNSC
Mindlog: The game plan....kill and disperse them then rename.
This is really colonization going on in benue and plateau. The Belgians killed 20 million in congo sent the remaining away to "reserves" and renamed it Belgian Congo.
Same thing happening in plateau just that this time it's black on black wickedness.
That's why also the Dutch renamed a city to Johannesburg.
ALLNIGERIANSMAD: The shooter will be caught and kill, the master minder will be identified and arrested, but in Nigeria, the shooter will have a field day, shooting for 5hrs killing 100s, go back and upload the clip of killing operation on social media. Yet our security agencies will ask the dead to assist them in apprehend the bandits and bring them to that thier yeye book.
omooba969: The West are not barbaric as to put graphic pictures or images online like we do in Africa, dignity for the dead and respect for the family of the deceased guides the western media.
The West are barbarians just that they hv programmed you to think the opposite.
SoNature: After learning about the yeye agreement earlier, this was my reaction:
From media reports, the deal won't benefit Nigeria in any way. British people just want to take, take and just keep taking.
British people are a bunch of bloody users and thieves! A country that isn't a major crude oil exporter but has one of the world's richest oil and gas company, Shell.
You see the British can do nothing unless there are willing traitors from the rank of the oppressed willing to sell their people.
Secondly the average Nigerian is still colonized in their mind....these same people occupy senior positions. They are the ones that grant concessions t Shell against nigerias interests because they are colonized in their minds. Some Nigerians will even tell you: "it's better to give it to the white man to run"
RichDad1: Imagine this happening in Nigeria. The hypocritical Emergency lovers would have been everywhere shouting and screaming their lungs out about saner climes.
The saner climes run by western European savages that enslaved their forefathers and tried to rob them if their identity through "forced assimilation" - Google it. Saner climes indeed lol
ElSudani: Home away from home. Interesting times, UK minister of Trade and US Deputy secretary of the treasury are of Nigerian descent.
Because western power will fade after Russia Ukraine war and the west are desperate. That's also why they are desperately returning all looted artifacts. The western European savages are now begging.
Naajjii: The problem is the coach defensive style. Over defensive in all the games. In this game Nigeria sat back right from the first half absorbing pressure the midfield Iwobi doesn't pressure and press, it is only Oyeanka that does the pressing yet he left him for a very long time before replacing. If he continues with this defensive play in the world cup qualifiers am afraid Nigeria might not qualify.
Is the coach African or European? Sorry I ve been out of soccer for a while.
Every February 14 is Valentine's Day. While it is being celebrated in different ways by different people, one general and famous word attached to the day is "Love". So, it is believed that the whole idea is to celebrate 'love". But that's where the problem lies. For many, when talking about love, they are actually referring to lust, infatuation, and sex.
This is why a lot of folks equate Valentine's Day to a day of sex galore. And of course, Valentine's Day has become a tool used by the devil to plunder immoral people on the bed of sexual immorality, and he gains access to "steal, kill, and destroy" (John 10:10)
The truth is, you can't know how to show love if you don't know Love. God is Love. So you must first know God (Love) before you can know how to express true love. If you are not for Christ and you keep swimming in sin, you can't know God (i.e have an intimate relationship with God), and whatever it is you are calling love is not true (you can't give what you don't have)
So, whenever I hear cases where people that claim to be in love are still hurting one another (cheating, heartbreaks, guys raping their girlfriend, etc), I'm not usually surprised. You can't give what you don't have. Your partner can't show you true love if he/she doesn't have an intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ (because your partner doesn't know how to). Anything such a person is calling love is simply false. Yes, a scam. Your unbelieving partner can't help but break your heart, because his/her nature is still perverted and self-seeking. Only an intimate relationship with Jesus can get us transformed.
How You Can Avoid Defiling Yourself On Valentine's Day
The kingdom of darkness lavishly saturates the atmosphere every February 14th with lust (having understood the significance given to it by imperfect humans). Hence, a lot of people find themselves defiling themselves either intentionally or not.
God's Will concerning sexual pleasure is that all forms of sexual pleasure should be shared only between a married man and his female wife in the safe confines of their marriage institution, with no other party involved.
Anything else outside of this is wrong, sinful, and harmful.
God frowns at sexual immorality, and there are great repercussions attached to sexual sins. Don't have sex with your boyfriend/girlfriend or your fiance/fiancee until you get married to them. If you have planned such this Valentine's Day, God is giving you an opportunity to destroy such plans (it's not a mistake that you came across this article), to avoid regrets. If your boyfriend/girlfriend or fiance/fiancee is insisting on sex, it means they are only after your body, and are not God's Will for you (so, wisdom demands you break free from such a relationship).
To avoid defiling yourself, yield to God's word and avoid sin of any type. When you have an intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ, you will always be determined to please Him and obey all His commands. Also, avoid people, places, situations, and things that can lure you into dipping your hands in something bad.
Marriage is no longer what it used to be before. If as a Christian man you reject all mates and are waiting for marriage. You will be disappointed.
Times hv changed.
Marriage is now what promiscuous girls do after they hv played the field. All the "good Christian men" get is old girls past their prime looking for someone to take care of their health and financial needs. That's unfair.
But religion says follow bullshit blindly even if it doesn't make sense.
I'd you hv God's grace and God gives you a good partner in their prime then rejoice.
sukkot: and yet all government monies are laundered through his bank. dey play Bashiru
It won't be well with you. Youf envy and jealousy drive you to make unguarded comments. Wigwe is not responsible for your limited success in life. He may hv gone to be with the LORD but his children will carry on his legacy. Left to you I'm sure you would wish the entire family perish.
Is it anyone the black man is the most looked down upon.
Where is your proof of the money laundering activities?
Even if such existed there Compliance Department and efcc and CBN and the courts to provide justice in the unlikely situation it happened. You just using this to cover up youf envy and jealousy.
sukkot: that mane should have been in Côte d’Ivoire for AFCON not gallivanting in an helicopter going to watch Super Bowl. You see what unpatriotic activities has caused 👀
Even if he went to watch afcon and it happened you would hv said something else. The heart of man is evil and desperately wicked. Heartless souls like yours and that of many Nigerians hv no place in the modern world.
sukkot: he is not a private man, he is a public man. All our moneys are in his bank. I do not appreciate being nickel and dimed so that someone can go and take super bowl copter rides 🙆🏽♂️
Nobody forced you to open account with access bank. He is a private man. He is not a government official and so is private.
sukkot: he made his money in Nigeria not America and he should not be bowing down to the will of his son and taking his lawyer and the head of the exchange commission with him to please his son 🙆🏽♂️ . Herbert should be in Côte d’Ivoire and he would have been alive. That’s the problem with Nigerians. Make all the money in Nigeria and go waste it abroad and then wonder why our Naira is tanking. Irony is that he had the forex oga with him 🙆🏽♂️
You are trying to dictate to a private man how to live his private life? Pls desist sir and pls have some respect for the deceased during this period of mourning.

If NNPC had been a serious state-run oil corporation, Nigeria would have sent many IOCs back to their countries and kept all the USD here.
