PeacePro Executive Director Abdulrazaq Hamzat described the situation as a “silent economic emergency,” arguing that Nigeria’s growth challenges stem less from resource scarcity and more from failure to activate existing assets.

Failure to activate our existing minds.

“These are not hypothetical losses; they are capital already paid for but not producing value,” Hamzat said".

We know how to produce value but we just currently don't, or can't.

When infrastructure stands idle, frustration grows. When assets generate value, stability increases,” Hamzat said.

Our not frustrates us while doing will grow us.

“Nigeria does not need to borrow its way to prosperity while trillions in value lie unused,” Hamzat said.

We have all that we need.

"The question is whether we have the political discipline to activate them.”

If we discipline ourselves to we will.

I must say that I must agree.

GloriousGbola:
This is why Trump keeps shouting the 2020 election was stolen. In his mind once your attempts to cheat are defeated it is because you were out cheated and not because the system worked

He uses the lies to hide his failures and justify his own future cheating.

But I have immense faith in We The People!

If not for the fear of God,I would have been a pastor too…it is a monkey Dey work,baboon Dey chop life.

I am an atheist and I'm going to the imaginary hell already, but morals and my dignity is what stops me being a monkey de chop person. I'm working on it though, since I can find lots to do with the money.

I've got this trick of end of the month special giving or rather, receiving by me, for special grace, then I'd stand at the door and give it all to the less fortunate. My church will be full the following Sunday, then I can do scholarships since I only eat small, but I'm sure my throat will elongate over time so I become like pastors, yuk. So I'd need to hire an angel to watch and tell when I err.

Name for the buda ministry, anyone, for the atheist buda that is certainly going to hell?

IjeBos:
This ruling is all kinds of bad for Trump.
He has to now refund all the money collected by those tariffs.

Which means that deficit that that money went to and Raumdeuter talked about all the time will now blow up.
And how will this be paid back. The sellers already passed on the cost of the tariffs to the consumers.
I hope to get back some of the money I spent on imports. But in the end a lot of companies will make on the increase costs they passed on and then on the refund they get from the government.

Because of Trump American consumers lose again.

Consumers will class action suit for their money back.

It's America Yo!

⚡German Chancellor Merz on China:

China today sees itself in explicit opposition to the U.S. and claims to define a new multilateral order according to its own rules.

Freedom of expression, freedom of religion and freedom of the press do not occur in this understanding.

The commitment to the universal validity of human rights is rejected there as interference in internal affairs.

May I ask the question again?

Given this situation, couldn't it be right that we Europeans together with the Americans have to counter their common understanding of freedom, our common image of humanity with something better than what we hear from the Middle Kingdom?

That too belongs to the truth of our relationship.

https://x.com/clashreport/statu s/2024833134798258588?s=20

For some reason, I think he's on crack!

I'm not claiming China is not belligerent at all, but is this not like taking a dive?

Then again, perhaps I am biased by the following and such.

IbnB:
How many 27 year old Nigerian men get engaged to 64 year old Nigerian women even within Nigeria? Even if the sexes/ages are switched the lady would still be after something more tangible than a romantic relationship

Let's try and be telling each other the truth baba

Lets say one. Only one 27 year old Nigerian man got engaged to a 64 year old Nigerian woman even within anywhere. Though I can easily convince you there's likely to be many more just on Nairaland I'll let you search because I can't be bothered, but of course they are both "after something more tangible than a romantic relationship".

Nigerian men are known to have sugarmummies, and even sugardaddies too, and both got something more tangible than the sugar. Do you disagree?

Jukaz:
Any man who desires to bring his wife under his leadership and control in the home should not in any way consider taking his wife abroad for both to start living as husband and wife because the system of the west empowers the women to misbehave and work against the men.

Mek una wise up, Men

Don't you think a "man who desires to bring his wife under his leadership and control in the home" has already misbehaved?

Ordinary you, a child of parents, would likely rebel and misbehave if your parents want to bring you under their leadership and control in their house, but you now want to bring a grown up person you married under your leadership and control, lol.

The system in the west does definitely not encourage you to believe balls make you superior that's for sure.

Helpout12345:
Exactly. Why the logic of tit for tat doesn't make sense.

The logic of "he did me wrong in Nigeria, but I will wait for him to end his life savings and take me abroad then pay back" that you are pushing will end up destroying both the man and woman.

It is not a "wait" or revenge issue, since I'm not in any way suggesting it's planned, but I'm going to give you credit for recognising there must have been a tït for there to be a tat.

UK, for instance, chops off the oppressive power a man may have in Nigeria, and teaches women they are not as powerless as they thought they were in Nigeria. She might be economical and culturally subservient in Nigeria, but that juju stops working as soon as the pond is crossed.

If a man treats his woman with regard and respect, she wouldn't, unless mad, repay him with tats. And I hope you agree that not all or even most Nigerian women are mad.

Kaczynski:
the situation is simple.

you’ve been spending your time and money on a human being that has zero connection to you.

You saying, all the feeding and school fees and anxiety when they were sick and joy when they succeed at something and all the wonderful moments you shared together and the love you had for them before you found out they were not your blood is not a connection?

I think I need to wait for you to grow up some more so you may realise you have more than zero connection with me that you've never met and likely never would meet, talk less of a child you thought was yours for a few years.

Sir, you are obviously one of the emotionally intelligently rich ones here who knows love can be much thicker than blood.

wallrichy:
I would rather nurture the relationship I have built over the years with the child or rather my children if I discovered that they weren't mine but fraudulently deceived by my wife to believe they were mine. Nothing in this world can separate me and the child or children that my wife gave to while being with me as my wife and under my care. Even if eventually she comes back to disclaim it or I find out during DNA test, I would never give up any child born in my house, that I have nurtured and cared for all along the years. Never.....my hate goes to the woman while the children stayed immuned to every anger in me. Ofcourse the woman would leave my house as soon as possible and meanwhile I would file for custody of the children if they are still underage but if not, I would sit them down and explain what happened to them in full.

tctrills:
Lol, I am no politicians and I don't know tomorrow but I can bet you never expected him to win in 2024 so I am not surprised you still expect him to lose.
Anyway, I'm US politics, the party in power almost always loses the midterm so it's no big deal if it happens to Trump.

Actually, I wasn't surprised he won, as I never felt Americans would vote for Kamala considering the misogyny and racism prevalent there, and the fact she started campaigning like 100 days before the elections and not 2 years before, which might have given her a chance.

The big deal for dump losing the mid terms, and I'm hoping both houses, is it would tie his hands behind his back so he can't do much of the nonsense he's been doing.

Trust me, I can't wait for him to be lame ducked.

FalseProphet1:
This isn't an adopted child. It's a child your wife cheated on you with another guy and gave birth to. And you raised believing it was yours, only to discover years later that it isn't. It's totally different from adoption. You won't feel any bonding because you'll be heart broken.

It does not need to be an adopted child. Most sensible humans don't stop loving a child they loved and reared from a baby just because they discover it's not their blood when it's much older. Nor do most children abandon who nurtured them when they discover the nurturer is not their blood.

But I guess you talk for yourself, and can't understand not everyone may reason like you might. And I say "might", because I bet even you have bonds with non-relatives, not to talk of a child you nurture and love then eventually find is not blood.

A bond is built through the relationship you nurture, and not just through blood. And once you realise that in the end, your broken heart will be directed to who deceived you, but mended with the child you bonded with already. Such children in fact, end up bonded more to the decieved father than even their own blood mother, and not at all to their blood father whom they may never have met.

Princedapace:
Nigeria as a country is cursed, her citizens provide everything by them selves. That is how cursed nations behave.

You are very welcome to your opinion. I disagree.

KingOfAmebo:
Most Trump lapdogs here on nairaland are in deep ignorance, some are educated but embrace ignorance...IT IS THE AMERICAN IMPORTERS THAT PAY THE TARRIFFS THAT TRUMP IMPOSES ON OTHER COUNTRIES but Trump's supporters thinks it is the other countries that bleeds.

It is useless arguing with someone that doesn't match the least level of your intelligence.

How they think importers pay tariffs is beyond me.

It's like they think a Nigerian will buy tokunbo from Belgium and not charge retail for all costs involved plus profit.

Melezenawii:
No wonder you support Peter Obi

You offend me!

The individual you responded to is not Obidient, I hope. He definitely hasn't a clue of what he speaks of.

tctrills:
Funny guy, you talk as if Trump will pay the money from his pocket.

But he will. Though I'm certain you think payment must be in dollars, when it will in fact be a loss of votes for his party in November.

Helpout12345:
Hmmmm. That's interesting. So we should apply this logic also if the man decides to end the wife's life too when he gets a gun?? We should also be asking what the woman did to him for him to snap up to that level and give him a pass??

Yes we should. We should ask if he is mad and couldn't control himself, especially when he ends up sitting in a jail cell for life!

We'd after all be asking the same of a stupïd woman who gets a gun to shoot her husband, which this woman has very wisely not done.

Tenrack:
are you blaming me for the failures of the girl children parents? How is it my fault that over 80 percent of women in Lagos today between the ages of 19-29 cannot fend for themselves without bothering one poor guy somewhere.

How is it possible that you're blaming me for this? 😂

I am blaming the parents of the girl (and boy) children who don't educate and bring their own children up well to stand on their own feet so they need not bother others for their daily bread.

And I am hoping you are not one of such useless parents, and will instead be a parent who brings up your own children well.

The belows might help.

Scotus has just saved the US economy. Inflation will now fall, and companies are likely to hire more and import more to manufacture more and export more.

Until dump finds another way to attempt to bankrupt USA, of course.

prove what you have said by watering my signature with a small something

I do not need to prove anything to you, and definitely not by allowing myself to be scammed by you!

Son may not biologically be mine, but it would likely be mine emotionally, and that bond can't be broken. I am assuming I only found out after child is grown to a certain extent during which I would have loved and nurtured it to a significant extent.

Known adopted children have loved their adopted parents way more than their biological parents, so there's not much unusual here.

Wise men should take note of the entire chapter so they can be worthy of what they find.

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, So that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil All the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, And worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants' ships; She bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, And giveth meat to her household, And a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

Proverbs 31:10-16 KJV

It's not so much the car giving that is the lesson here, but the "governor’s sustained investment in the education sector and the reforms introduced to revitalise it".

He explained that the declaration of a state of emergency in the education sector paved the way for wide-ranging reforms under the Revitalisation Agenda, which focuses on curriculum development, school management, technology and innovation, infrastructure, funding and revenue generation, as well as students’ and teachers’ welfare.

Poverty made me return to UK in May in a flimsy Nigerian summer shirt! I put on an extra shirt in the plane but was over the moon when dad met me at Heathrow with a thick coat.

Flipside is traveling to Nigeria in thick winter clothes. I get off the plane at Murtala and I'm quickly down to a teeshirt.

foxman04:
Until Dem carry the gun come your house one night kill you join before you understand what a thief means

They have carried gun come my house already, and even threatened to rape me.

It still does not justify me taking justice in to my own hands, because that is revenge, and because it is illegal, and because the generalisation is ïgnorant and stupïd.

Helpout12345:
Exactly . Let's still blame the victims naaa.

If he treated her badly, why she took the sponsorship from him to go to UK??

He hated her and treated her badly but still used his sweat or probably life savings to sponsor her to UK and through school in the UK??m

In Yoruba we say, don't ask who killed our father until we get our hands on the cutlass. You have dominance over me in Nigeria, so I bide my time until we cross the ocean and you lose your powers and I gain mine.

Unless you believe I am an evil person who pays kindness with ungratitude, you'd perhaps ask why I changed before judging me.
