SET RECORD:
JUST TO KNOW MUCH ABOUT AISH YAR ADUA AND RELATIONSHIP WITH MR. PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA

why - u wan marry am. Yar adua does not know this child.

OMO IBO:
sir, did you have to call threadstarter names? i hope you know the article he posted has absolutely nothing to do with him?

I am sorry - i over reacted. ( it has been removed)

ADEOMOLE:
I wish you can tell us an alternative way.

The market is regulated and it is a criminal offence to sell at the black market at the moment.
And of course the banks and bureau de cahnge are regulated.

There is no enforcement. There might never be (NPF, EFCC) all lame ducks
Remember i mentioned Demand and Supply.

$10 = N1,600 is still demand and supply.

The fact is, the black market is seen as a petty business.
Wake up guys, this is a multi billion dollar industry.

Its crippling our economy. Why is that we are so much used to suffering and smiling ( conditioning).

@ Seun. One of the responsiblities of the CBN governor is to manage the money markets.
So the government must be involved.

Its called the black market for a reason. How can a market be bigger than the national market.?

By matching the rates, the government would be responding to the rules of demand and supply.

As Nigerians,  we always abuse any system requiring us to bring documentation.
We have perfected the art of forgery.

Foremaple, you can buy Personal Travel Allowance at Officical rates.
Any Banker in the house? Fake tickets and non confirmed tickets is not strange.
Even the banks are invloved? Its called round tripping. If you are a branch manager it is one of the easiest way to
meet your target. Easy money.

For as long as you have so much disparity between the official rate and the black market rates.
The Black market will continue to grow.

Welcome to Nigeria. The fact of the matter - black market in any viable society is illegal . In modern societies the underground economy covers a vast array of activities. It is generally smallest in countries where economic freedom is greatest, and becomes progressively larger in those areas where corruption, regulation, or legal monopolies restrict legitimate economic activity.

I use the ATM to make withdrawal 2ce and my money was not dispensed instead my account was debited 55,000 naira and I contacted the bank but for 6 days now my money has not been returned, they keep complaining about network problem.

This is same technology that work flawlessly in another country( i have used atm for almost 12 years and i have never heard of this issue anywhere in the u.k) but bring the same technology to Nigeria na another story. What a shame

When i become President ,firstly introduce capital punishment for corruption. then i am going to ban importation for aleast 18months, take half of Nigerian foreign Reserve and it spend it on keys areas such as agriculture, textiles, electricity generation, healthcare, transportation network, technology. All effort will be harnessed to turn Nigeria into a little china 95% exportation. It can be done, I have the will power my own is just 3 point agenda.

1. Infrastructure
2. Deal ruthlessly with corruption
3. Exportation, Exportation, Exportation

The question - why is Nigeria full of crooks. every fu cking person is an opportunist - very sad.  I definately agree we deserve the leaders we have in that fuc king country.  You the know the saying " Your leaders are a reflection of the present society"

One Party System for all and forever

"The key message was that God wants you rich and believers are "empowered to prosper"."

@ poster

is the above  True or False?

Who should be held responsible for this unecessary death and you say we should continue to pray for these people(leaders).

A middle-aged man, simply identified as Olabiyi, died on Thursday afternoon after being electrocuted by a high tension cable at Mangoro area of Lagos.

Witnesses said the victim was waiting in front of a filling station on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway to catch a bus to Ikeja when a high tension cable across the busy road snapped, swung dangerously to where he sat and circled his left leg. Olabiyi, a native of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, was on his way to Isheri on an official assignment.

He was said to be sitting on the marble enclosure around the signpost of the filling station when a commotion ensued, as bystanders fled from the swinging stray cable. According to an eyewitness, Segun Ademola, “The deceased was not the only person at the bus-stop when the incident occurred. There were about seven other Ikeja-bound passengers waiting by the filling station at the time. A man, who was sitting beside the deceased, escaped with minor injuries while he (Biyi) died on the spot.”

Seeing that his left leg had caught fire, the eyewitnesses said staff of the filling station immediately rushed to the scene with fire extinguishers, with which they managed to save the corpse from being engulfed.

His co-resident at No.31, Babaponmile Street, Mangoro, Abdullahi Musa, described the late Biyi as a humble, diligent and hardworking young man. He said that shortly before his death, Olabiyi gave N1,000 to another co-resident.

Our correspondents learnt that some officials of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria had worked on some electricity cables running across the road about an hour before the incident. After they left, a container-laden truck on its way from Ikeja tore one of the cables, which flew across the road before hitting Olabiyi.

A detachment of policemen from Dopemu division of the Lagos State Police Command was deployed on the scene to control traffic and onlookers. For over two hours, no PHCN official was seen in the area.

Some bystanders said they ran to the power utility’s offices nearby to report the incident but found them locked. When contacted at about 4.40pm, the Public Affairs Manager of the PHCN, Ikeja Distribution Zone, Mr. Pekun Adeyanju, said he was not aware of the incident. He said a report should be made to the Akowonjo Business Unit, which controls electricity supply to Mangoro and its environs.

He, however, promised to brief the relevant business unit. As the police were about to remove the corpse at 5.03p.m. in a Ranger Ford pickup van registered as NPF 9526B, some PHCN officials appeared at the scene and rolled the stray cable to a safe distance.

An unidentified man, who described himself as the late Olabiyi’s brother, wailed nearby. Speaking as he was restrained by policemen from rushing to where the corpse lay, he said he spoke with the deceased on the telephone shortly before the incident.

Can you give a rough idea of what the cost is

Nigeria does and cant handle such people with intelliegence. No infrastructure to nuture such talent. I would advice that she should be shipped out of the country with immediate effect before she ends working in a bank (what a waste)

If this true then Nigeria is a useless country

@ikey

I find offence with your comments . it sounds like you have problem with other tribes in Nigeria. Please explain

deb:
It can never be better in the eyes of so many Nigerians because you all get what you want from the country.
Everything you think and imagine is what you get. People are building houses everyday, buying new cars yet
some others are not experiencing any of these things because of their mind set.

The day a whole lot of us change our mindset then our lives will change for good and we will begin to realize
that the country is actually getting better. If you can think, you will know how to appreciate changes occurring but
if you remain a critic you will never see anything good happening.

So, to a whole lot of you Nigerians it can never be better even if our music industry is getting better, the roads are getting cleaner,
you have a considerably stable shaky but gradually stabilizing democracy, more enterprises emerging everyday, booming
telecoms, better banking industry and salary jobs getting juicier by the day and a whole lot more changes occuring like having a
Governor like Babatunde Fashola, more people being able to afford to buy new cars unlike before bla bla bla.
It still cannot be better in your eyes

Like the recent Rebranding Jamboree by Prof Dora

year 2020 according to the great prophet

Iretia:
Jaco Maritz (a South African Journalist) recently asked Ireti Ajala a question:

', how does MapNTL.com differ from other sites such as Google Maps and Yahoo! Maps which also offer a similar service? "There are other companies who offer online mapping services but what makes MapNTL.com unique is that we know Nigeria like the back of our hands," says Ireti Ajala. "Lagos has over 400 000 streets but Yahoo and Google maps shows Lagos with only five roads. Those companies are world giants; they have millions of users in North America, Europe and possibly in other African countries like South Africa, but when it comes to Nigeria MapNTL.com is the local champion."
