Atiku is just chasing clout... CBN took the best decision.

Unregulated Crypto currency is a lazy investment that tilts more on outflow of FX rather than inflow.. it is death sentence to import dominated countries.

E.g- I buy bitcoin with N10m that would be domiciled in source Nation(not Nigeria).. if it rises in 1 year by maybe 10%, I may have gained 1m as an individual, but I have starved my country economy of recycling my 10m if it was domiciled in a Nigerian bank or invested into the society which could have produced more than 10% while creating jobs.. note as an import dominated nation, the chance of loosing that 1m as another escaped forex is 95% on foreign goods while 5% I may spend on local food.

The Nigerian greed for small margins has blinded a lot of people, imagine Crypto currency trading far beyond your indigenous Stock exchange and some feel it's okay

Modified:
With all the mentions and insults, if we put this same energy into investing in Nigeria, would we be complaining of unemployment?... someone actually said he has over 1,000btc in his wallet, that's about $35m or N16.450bn just waiting to flip currency and make small margin rather than real investment that creates jobs for the economy, but we are quick to say no jobs.

Do not speak of what you do not understand. Do you know how many Nigerians are involved in forex business via crypto. You think crypto business is all about buying Bitcoin and wait for it to rise. Nigerian currency is on daily decline. Do you know that with ₦500k stored in Bitcoin, you can be cashing out over 50k monthly without doing any trade. Do you know that the same way USD is traded other currencies in forex, so also you trade Bitcoin, tron, USDT, etc. How many jobs is the government providing that they should kill the ones that the unemployed have provided for themselves. About 50% of online businesses today are done via cryptocurrency.

They should also be ready to welcome the number of high class robbers they will be introducing to the streets.

Do they want to replace Bitcoin with cowcoin?

I have nothing to hide. Let them go ahead.

Let's raise money for the retirement of this noble man

In the olden times, it was only "pregnancy" that announced openly that people had sex in the secret but today but after sex in the secret they will use social media "town cryers" to announce it in the public. Wao, how time changes.

Ali = Igbo Muslim
Hausa/Fulani are gradually taking over SE
Let the Islamization begins.

Wrong
"Ali" in their dialect means land. Ali Odefa is no moslem. He attends RCCG. He is the son of the late Chief Obasi Odefa, a former commissioner for Works and Housing in the old Abia state, one of the few Igbo literate families that have rejected anything English name. All his siblings within and outside the country bear no English name. His elder brother who is the Deputy Speaker Ebonyi House of Assembly migrated to APC with the Governor but he refused to join them.

I know him to his roots. He has a deadly heart that can withstand anybody. He was the key brain behind Umahi's first victory against Elechi. He fights to finish. That was why the first position Umahi gave him was his chief security officer. Umahi fears him. The only luck Umahi has is that Chief Ali Odefa has a very good wife who has helped to shape Ali to be a responsible human being. Otherwise, it would just have been a total war in the State. That woman is an angel and he doesn't play with her.

If truly they have increased there maturity period that is a clear indication that it is a ponzi scheme.

Please how is it a ponzi scheme when I make 90% of my investment in 6 months, 180% in 1 yr and yet the capital is still mine. Please explain more to me. In 7 months I get back all my investment and yet the ROI os still coming.

It is well. The only recommendation I can make is to get Peter Obi into the Aso Rock.

In my two decades of living in this world as a Nigerian, I have known only four Nigerian First ladies.

---

Late Stella Obasanjo was a pretty face and a very beautiful woman physically. I don't know much about her contribution to government but I remember my mum loved her (of course pretty women admire each other). Towards the end of 2005 , 5 years old me watched her funeral service on TV and looked at my mum cry. Her funeral and "Joy Joy Joy" music video by Destined Kids are the only TV scenes I can recall from that year. I think Stella failed as a first lady and feminist to teach young women to be comfortable in their skins and not alter their bodies to keep a womanizer attached. She's my second best first lady.

---

Turai Yaradua was first lady around the time I just started secondary school. I remember things like the 7-point agenda of her husband who was short-lived (Good people leave fast). Turai was a power broker, a one-woman cabal and later married her academically sound daughters with huge industrial potentials as 3rd and 4th wives to men older than the Late Yaradua. Not a good role model to young African girls at an epoch in human civilization where girls are breaking records in various industries. She ranks 4th and last according to my judgement.

---

Aisha Buhari is a very pretty woman, one of the prettiest first ladies in the world without cosmetic enhancements. However, her points dropped as she is also the only first lady who engaged in brutal physical fights and destruction of properties at the government house. It is unethical for the wife of the president to be caught fighting , throwing harmful objects and breaking house appliances on camera. She is not a good role model for young women and young marriages in a period where humanity is United in the fight against domestic violence. She ranks third based on my assessment.

---

Dame Patience Jonathan ranks first and is on top because she continued her job as a permanent secretary despite her husband's affluence which makes her an inspiration to young women and families where both wife and husband must be breadwinners. She was real, was confident in her physicality and sympathized with victims of humanitarian crises. Her famous "THERE IS GOD O" exclamation is gold and reminds listeners of what a mother should be and what a mother's love is.

Sad thing is that she married a clueless man who neglected his own people. Kudos to President Buhari for working hard to restore NIGERIA's place in the league of Sane climes.

The best First Lady I met is Maryam Babangida. Her "better life for rural women" still speaks till date. Her exploits have Nigeria a great recognition in Belgian women international conference

An average Anambrarian hates an Ebonyian with passion . We are okay staying where we are please

The only thing I noticed is that Reno is bent on having Sowore buried for his past misbehaviour

I used to think that Angela was very tall or does it mean that her man is long?

Congratulations

Damage Control.

Ralpdee123:
Good morning Nlanders,

I have been considering quitting my police job to find something more productive & profitable to do with my life as a result of poor pay & lack of promotion.....

I was enlisted into the NPF since year 2009 at 21yrs, I was single then with big aspiration that someday I will move to the top echelon. While in the job, I struggled to send myself to school and bagged my first degree and through to masters level.

But one thing I have noticed is that there is no upward movement within the NPF unlike the other armed forces and some paramilitary agencies that have internal promotional policies of upgrading their personnel based on academic qualification and merit.

The first and only time this ever happened was five years ago when it was widely reported across all news platforms that the NPF was ready to promote graduates within the force to ASPs, exam was conducted, I passed and was selected to go to Abuja for final interview. It was a rough road for me as it was my first time at the FHQ, Abuja. But after like a week, the process was suspended indefinitely. That was the first time I heard the term MERIT LIST VS NATIONAL INTEREST LIST...the Senators and Reps etcs wanted to replace the list with their candidates and they disagree amongst themselves so the process was cancelled.

I must confess my family is getting larger now and the pay I get can't feed us not to talk of paying school fees. I had to double my hustle with side biz to meet up....

Even the Police academy now turn out graduates ASPs every year who are now superiors after just a few years. So what about us with requisite qualification and experience, don't we deserve to be promoted...?

It is on this note that I want to call it quit and move on...

So I need advice in this regard... Should I call it quit or still hold on a bit...cos I don tire......?

NB: For those of you that will be saying yenyenyen police likes twenty Naira.... I have never received bribe from anyone throughout my 11 years in the job. I am the kind of Police Officer that you would meet on duty and would love to be a police officer....

Please professionals in the house.... Flood my thread with your wealth of experience abeg....

.... Help me do the needed for a wider view....

My brother you look very sound. I sincerely appreciate your testimony of not being amongst the bandwagon of bribe takers. God will surely bless you for that. I understand your pains because I have many of my people in the force.

Like some people have advised you, do not make haste to resign yet with the state of the Nation at the moment. Plan properly. Know that your experience is already a great asset to you. As soon as the pandemic is over and oil/gas work resumes you are one of the best qualified for CSO jobs in the oil and gas firms. Just keep doing your home work well. Having set your heart on resigning, there are still great opportunities for you out there even in the security line.

eni4real:
Why should any man waste his 50K just like that??

Please don't say that again. Some men are even ready to spend millions just for one time sex just to prove that they can get any lady they like. It will only take a reasonable lady to be wise.

icebird25:
Be cautious of what you post or do on Facebook..but some people won't heed to that simple advice..
Oya come and gbese.

It is also applicable on Nairaland. Some people comment carelessly as if they are in their private rooms forgetting that internet has already turned our private rooms to market square.

I just love what the groom's family did because it will save other thousands of girls who are already towing same line.

I guess some people may start resigning from the probe panel because if you raise your hand too much, your own corruption record will be opened. Naija, I dey hail oo.

Irrespective of what any pastor may say, you must be convinced of the person yourself so that tomorrow you will not come back and blame either the Pastor or nairalanders.

Anybody in whom you don't have peace of mind is not your spouse, irrespective of beauty or what any prophet may say. I will rather want to hear your testimony tomorrow not coming back to call for solutions. I wish well.

How did they die? Who died fist or did they die same time? Mystery!

Raxxye:
Hmmm. I doubt if Buhari would want to nominate a former member of GEJ's cabinet. If it's true, then congratulations to her. But why should we continue to recycle same individuals for so many years?

No other Nigerian stands a chance for the position and that is why Egypt wants her disqualified so that their candidate can easily sweep the election result.

Did FG acquire them for use or to donate them to the Boko Haram to make up for the ones Chadian soldiers destroyed?

tsephanyah:
Thought and prayers. RIP

RUGA is the solution

Since the return to democracy in 1999, Nigeria has been grappling with diverse security challenges, chief among them are insurgency, election violence, kidnapping and most recently, the herder-farmer conflicts among others. The north central states of Benue, Plateau and Nasarawa and other states have experienced conflicts that led to thousands of deaths and displacements as a result of clashes between pastoralists (herders) and local farmers in several communities. In January 2018 alone, Amnesty International reports indicate that 168 people were killed as a result of herdsmen-farmer clashes.1

Struggle over grazing land and scarce resources have over the years resulted in perennial and growing violent conflicts in terms of frequency, intensity and geographic scope. Underpinning the escalation in frequency of conflicts in Nigeria is a confluence of environmental and demographic forces, especially desertification caused by climate change and population explosion. Expectedly, with the depletion of arable land for subsistence farming largely as a result of increasing urbanisation and the adverse effect of climate change, especially along the Lake Chad basin, there is increased struggle between herdsmen and farmers – leading to violent confrontations and conflicts, deaths and forced displacement, as well as the destruction of agriculture and livestock.

Ruga is okay only if you can use the vast Sambisa forest. Sambisa can contain all the cows in West Africa. We can even approve importing grasses from Brazil once the cows finish all the available grasses there.

We're watching

This man resembles Alamyeisa. I don't know if I have another witness in the house

ThierryJay:
Which war? That FAKE quote looks like something cooked up by Cristiano's fans rather than Simeone. I'm sure Simeone never said that after the Supercopa match. Even on twitter, it was labelled as fake as it was only @360 sources that published the quote. Major sport tabloids should have reported it as well if it was true. Simeone that publicly stated that he believes Messi was more dangerous than Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema combined? Find another lie please.

It can only be CR7 fans that can say he is now better than Messi using irrational logic. Just imagine, because he scored a mundane hattrick (2 tap -ins and penalty) against CAGLIARI, a relegation team, he is now better than Messi who was the best player on the pitch against Atletico madrid (scored two beautiful goals, dribbled the ATM players at will) for those that actually watched the match. How Can??

Where was CR7 in the war against Ajax last season, Barcelona over several seasons in La liga, Uruguay at World cup, even Lazio this season? Honestly, it's laughable the way CR7 fans like to turn logic on its head and delude themselves, or consolation is it?

6 will always be greater than 5.

Simeone made that quote when Athletico and Juventus were squaring up in the championship Group stage

sotall:
Just imagine!

I am really shocked that this is true.

Which kain yeye mistake be that?

You only have ballistic missiles now and you are mis-firing, what about when you now have nuclear weapons?

. Trump knew the truth. No wonder he said that as long as he remains US President, Iran will never have nuclear weapons. In fact, I want to hear Trump's response.

He is my Governor but I am still confused where gets all the money he uses for all the projects. He recently added about a thousand new political appointees and yet he is leading in the payment of the 30k minimum wage. One thing I know is that nobody will inflate contracts for him. He is an engineer, good in calculations and also owns a construction company, so knows the actual worth of any project

That memo can't be true. How can the date bear the same 9th that the replacement was appointed.

Randy100:
This kinds of mother won't be existing in the nearest future.

Sorry, I beg to disagree with you. My wife is very hard-working. We still have hard-working women in town.

Just commend a good development and pass. Na wa, even people from UNIPETROL are also saying that they have been using electronic voting but they never posted it on nairaland.

I guess INEC helped in conducting the voting. They should check well.
