Foolish talk...the politicians at the start of every tenure set aside millions of dollars to buy crazy suvs how many Brazilian hairs makes 1 land cruiser...or how many Brazilian hair make one mansion in London...dubai...USA..
motive to crush our apetite for foreign goods..but also crushing industries dependent on high end machineries and raw materials to even exist.. forgetting that most ppl demanding forexare using it to japa..pay school fees and buy luxury goods..very little is used to enhance our manufacturing capabilities. The ppl who hoard this dollars are very close to politicians..they steal our naira and exchange it for scare dollars and store it.. a vicious cycle must confess God go save this naira from free fall state .

FavoredbyGOD: When Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Ile Ife Osun was recruiting in 2020, I applied. In June 2021 OAUTH invited us for exam. I wrote the exam and had the second highest score out of over 200 candidates that applied for the same post. I was not offered the job because I have no connection.
In October 2022, I saw the notice on nairaland job section that OAUTH is recruiting again. I brought it to the notice of a VIP that I know, showed him the proof of passing the previous year exam since no new exam is being conducted. He was impressed, raised concerns on the issue and I got the job
Since 2022, we have not been paid any salary and we keep working at OAUTH. The Minister of Health called us desperate job seekers after we cried out for mercy that we are starving and directed that 1500 health workers be sacked even without been paid any salary. We worked for over a year at OAUTH without salary despite the money they collected for us during verification, the money we spent in relocating, transportation...
Our side Hustle is gone, I lost my four years relationship to this. She clocked 30 and couldn't wait again. I know of a colleague who have to abort his wife pregnancy because there is no hope of her catering for the new born. We are pleading We are begging Let them pay us our one year arrears
So sorry for your 4 year relationship..u try oo during my time I had to postpone my service year to earn enough to marry my wife also a dr...she was 30 too couldn't afford to loose her...we are both doing fine now.
system21: The Nigeria of 1978, $13,100 was ₦10,220. What is the rate today? Bad leadership and corruption destroyed our economy. Once upon a time in Nigeria, Naira was above dollar. That was when we were GIANT of Africa. Not anymore. Then, $13,100 was ₦10,220 Today, $13,100 is ₦19,650,000.
Congratulations to all the supporters of failed government and corruption
Nigerians killed nigeria..the whites left a thriving economy...the educated and foolish Nigerians took over and messed everything up..they couldn't even differentiate their left from their right. Always taking the advise that will destroy them..one idiot even said nigeria has so much money the problem was how to spend it...to show u how incompetent the ppl that managed us are and it transcends various spheres of the Nigerian economy..take a look at hospitals managed by missionaries and their current state after those guys handed over those facilities,j you will realise there Is something inherently wrong with an average nigerian education aside...common sense is not actually common. Look at missionary owned school and their current state after they were handed over to the govt..check their current state....roads..police station etc.
Focusmind: Everybody dey hear am. Some lecturers have their kids in foreign universities and they do everything to sustain them there. If you are not going to sponsor your child to do a health care, IT or trades related courses abroad, don't just waste your money.
Focusmind: Paying school fees abroad for your relative while you are earning in naira is becoming difficult. You will convert N1m thinking it was huge only to get less than $1k, which will not even be enough to pay for the person"s monthly accommodation in Canada. Some students still could not see jobs to support themselves. It is a terrible situation.
I pith those my professors pikin wey dey school abroad...e go choke na so I see the slip of on PROF of the 3million naira loan he collect for him pikin wey dey UK that money now go enter 10m how he wan take pay am if na now when salary no increase..dem dey deduct am from him salary that time
If a girl loves you she will do almost anything for you. Her body, her money, her thoughts...everything...that's why men should be careful being around a woman they have no feelings for..for too long..it can really spell doom...I have been there and know how hard it is to cut loose from such..cos letting go could cause them to do something stupid like taking ones life.
ExplorerReturns: If this is true and implemented correctly (not possible) I can bet with anything that the naira will regain value strongly.
I laugh at those saying that we are not earning enough forex. The problem is that some very powerful people are actually hiding the forex revenue from oil in their private pockets.
Nnpc should not be allowed to sell and tender receipts. They should only be concerned with production while cbn handles sell. With this, let us at least witness a reduction in corruption and rise of naira
What happens when nnpc sell 20 paii and issues receipt of 10 paii..the buyer gets more oil at a cheaper rate..nnpc boiz get a cut let's say 3 to 5 paii and govt looses a constant 5 to 7 pai for every deal..make cbn dey there they monitor receipt as if dem sabi crude oil logistics.
Nataliace: I'm married for twelve years now and my marriage is blessed with two kids all boys, 11 and 9 respectively. Our marriage was also blessed with peace until I discovered my husband dates girls. The one that pains me most is dating a neighbor who has been my enemy since we relocated to that settlement. My husband has side chicks too numerous to mention and I tried to talk to him but he refused. I left him and went back to my parents house thinking that will make him change and to come and apologize, to my greatest surprise he didn't make a move of putting things in order. The worst is that the girl in the neighborhood is now living with him sleeping in our Matrimonial bed doing all the house chores and taking my children to school. I came back and apologized to my husband but he said it's over between us. I love my husband so much that I can't afford to lose him. What should I have done? I expressed my grief of being hurt but it bounced back negatively. Please advise me on how to restore my marriage.
Did u deny him the coochie with I am tired when u first got married..he could have started womanising since then and breaking up sexual relationship is always a hard thing it s better u don't begin.
Nigeria is a lawless country..there are many state house of assembly members, ministers, senators and governors who didn't do the nysc yet are occupying office.
sharpwriter: You are really a backward thinking person and very well under colonial spell and hypnosis. Read what you wrote again if it means anything to you. If possible whole of Africa àbí? So that we can live in crisis and commotion everyday without peace. Go and stop whatever you're drinking. How old are you? And what is your definition of a nation?
So you are a forward thinking person..the whole of Africa wasn't as big as USSR yet they existed.. the country called United States is almost a whole continent with some states bigger than the whole nigeria. The state of texas is bigger than nigeria and the development there we don't have half of it..Russia is still a very big country and they are thriving..many forward thinking leaders all around Africa have one time or the order spoken about a united Africa.. but I guess your brain is too small to comprehend the vision they have..if at all you can't learn than the constant division has no end cos in the end we are all human so why then should we clamour for what isn't the solution.
An you can see, those clamouring for nigeria to break up are liars and deceivers those guys ordinarily should be brothers but what can u see? greed..those clamouring for division want to become emperors of the new formed state..what we need are strong institutions.if possible sef the whole Africa should be one whole nation.
