Does this sounds like Nigerians banks accounts are in trouble or all is well with Nigeria? Can we really trust the government that the borrowed funds will be available at anytime?

TheManofTomorrow: As this year comes to an end tonight. A lot of appreciation to friends and loved ones, best wishes for the coming year are flying around. A lot are optimistic about the coming year.
It has been the best year for some yet the worse for many others.
I won't like to bore you all with happenings of this year. But one thing is for sure, we all agreed that this year had been one of a kind thanks to brother Corona and Chief ASUU especially.(for students )
We succeeded at some things, failed woefully at many others but above all we learnt and got more experience.
I learnt a lot of things and I'm sure we all did. Here are some of the core lessons 2020 succeeded in teaching me hardcore
1. Never to be afraid to taking risk especially when it comes to financial liberation. So long a business/investment is in good standing, go for it(wisely) if you have the financial muscle. That might just give you the financial breakthrough you have been hoping for.
2. To always try to get out of my "comfort zone No matter how comfortable your comfort zone might be, always strive to "be more" and uncomfortable. Trust me, that's the only way you can grow.
3. To build my network. After all, in this age and time, your NETWORK determines your networth. No long talk about it. We all know where Nigeria tilting towards and how things are being run
4. To always stay informed Omo, information is power, this year was the year I knew the worth of that popular saying. Information is sometimes what differentiate the Middle class from the rich. Information has a way of placing you one step ahead amongst your peer. Trust me.
5. Not to stay depressed for too long. Depression is a state of mind we all have experienced on occasions in our life regardless of the reason(s). Always pick yourself up, dust your sneakers and get back on the track . Life continues and you can't get the most out of life by staying depressed.
Okay, Nairalanders, let's hear yours too, hopefully someone picks a lesson or two.
Spaxon: Hello. I dunno if I can get help. I don't really know the specs of these cars. But I believe we got people with great experience here. My Dad's retired and wants to get one of these and we are actually inexperienced with cars outside Toyota.
Hadampson: I was scrolling through my timeline when I saw the pictures of halden prison in Norway. Honestly I was flabbergasted, I mean we know how prisons in Nigeria look like. I can't even imagine it. Halden prison is better than some houses in Nigeria, this is an undisputed fact
The white people understand the real definition of prison. Prison is supposed to be place of rehabilitation not a place of torture. You woks, get educated, get degrees in vocational courses and undergo proper psychological evaluation but torturing inmates as a means of letting them know that they are paying for their crimes won't make them turn to a new leaf.
That's why we have many stubborn people in Nigeria who are ready to do anything for our polithiefcians and vote for people like buhari and atiku.
In Norway, prisoners are treated like kings and properly rehabilitated before coming out.
Exercise is compulsory. The inmates eat anything they want. Their health is intact and they even have doctors that do check up on them from time to time.
I lived in the gambia as a kid with my family for almost 12 yrs truth is yaya jammeh ruined the country , but jammeh regime i must say was far better than adama barrows.
I wonder why white people are much smarter than blacks .Sometimes i feel they are d aliens and blacks are the true humans.. da Bleep am i even saying I really dont know what blacks have given to the world to make it a better place.
RuudVanNisteroy: Thomas Sankara that ruled Burkina Faso sold off the government fleet of Mercedes cars andmade the Renault 5 (the cheapest car sold in Burkina Faso at that time) the official service car of all ministers and top government officials.
Updating9JA: Reality TV star, Iheme Faith Uloma aka Ifu Ennada, has taken to social media to share her childhood struggles in order to motivate her fans against giving up.
The former BBNaija housemate revealed that she and her entire family had to relocate to the village twice because the cost of living in Lagos was beyond their financial means[color=#000000].[/color]
She also disclosed that she started working hard to fend for herself since she was 15 years old, which accounts for her serious approach towards life.
Sharing a throwback photo of herself, Ifu recounted how she starved a lot growing up and in the village, she helplessly watched her younger brother die because they couldn’t afford good healthcare.
Aliencraft: While trying to service my inverters, I came across two adorable baby birds. They have been here for awhile but I thought to share their pictures with you all
The Bird is called a laughing dove in english, In yoruba odere coco.
Dat2jo: If you remembered the worst beating your parents gave you, tell us your offense let's laugh together.
Mine: I accidentally fell and the pap I went to grind poured away and the plastic bucket broke into pieces. Hmmm in short dat was how two of my front teeth cracked because of the beating my momsy gave me.
I ate Dog meat mistakenly So Mum heard and she f**ked me up real bad She said eating 404 was a taboo where i am from( i never knew) She gave me a beating to always remember But i swear there's no other meat that taste better.
willingheart: I'm truly in love with this guy. We are happy together, We understand each other perfectly. With him I'm � myself, No pretence. Same with him. He's everything I want in a man, but the problem is that: he doesn't have money. He keeps trying, but things are not working. no job and he's from a family where everyone are on their own facing their challenges, no support.
He's 35yrs this yr and I'm 30 already. He wants to get married, but he can't afford it.
Lately, I buy almost everything for him, to support him.
Age is not on my side, yet the only man I love and that loves me can't afford to marry me. If we're married, it will be easy for me to share everything with him without my family members putting eyes.
My Aunt called me stu.pid that i should accept a financially stable man instead of being with a man who can not afford to take care of me. I have little money I saved to support my wedding as well, but he have nothing.
Married people in the house please help. I want to have direction plan for my life coming year.
Marrying the one you love or the one that's financially stable. What's your advice and opinion?
bestman09: Nigerians spend over $1 billion buying foreign citizenship, golden visas – report By Agencies -December 13, 2020
Some Nigerians have spent over $1billion this year, 2020, buying themselves citizenship of other countries or golden visas as they plan ahead for safe haven should Nigeria collapse as a nation.
The $1billion is a conservative estimate, given the number of applications processed by the citizenship advisory firms.
According to a report published by Al Jazeera, more Nigerians paid for citizenship or golden visas in 2020 more than any other year.
At London-based Henley & Partners, one of the world’s largest citizenship advisory firms, applications by Nigerians increased by 185% during the eight months to September 2020; making them the second-largest nationality to apply for such schemes after Indians.
More than 1,000 Nigerians have enquired about the citizenship of another country through Henley & Partners this year alone, which Paddy Blewer, Head of Marketing, said “is unheard of.”
“We’ve never had this many people contacting us”, Blewer said.
Arton Capital, a citizenship advisory group, said “demand from Nigerian families for Antigua and Barbuda citizenship is up 15% in 2020 compared with the last.”
St Lucia has also seen a record number of Nigerians applying in 2020. “It’s more than it’s ever been over the past four years,” says Nestor Alfred, CEO of the St Lucia Citizenship-by-Investment Unit.
The rush to escape from Nigeria reached the apogee in July, with the coronavirus epidemic raging.
Another propelling factor has been the recent #EndSARS protest, according to the report.
A Nigerian interviewed in the report, cited the escalation of COVID-19 cases as a reason wealthy Nigerians started looking more seriously at citizenship abroad.
“Those with medical conditions that could not fly out – a lot of them are buying passports just because if there is any problem they can fly out,” said Olusegun Paul Andrew, 56, a Nigerian entrepreneur and investor who spends much of the year in the Netherlands.
“Flying out” of Nigeria is hard and not just because of the coronavirus pandemic. Just 26 countries allow Nigerian passport holders visa-free entry, many of them part of West Africa’s ECOWAS arrangement. Both the United Kingdom and Europe’s Schengen zone require Nigerians to obtain visas ahead of travelling.
For the wealthy, this is too much hassle. “They don’t want to be queueing for visas for any EU country or whatever”, says Andrew. Instead, why not purchase the citizenship of a country with visa-free access to Europe?
According to the report, the destinations of Nigerians seeking citizenship or golden visas are Malta and many Caribbean nations.
In Malta, all they need to do for citizenship is to have an investment of between $100,000 to $800,000 in the country.
In St Kitts and Nevis, a passport can cost as much as $400,000.
The passport opens doors to Europe and America, where they do not to get visas anymore.
Bimpe, a wealthy Nigerian who was interviewed for the report said she has three passports. One Nigerian, which she says she never uses, and two from Caribbean nations: St Kitts and Nevis; and Grenada.
The St. Kitts and Nevis passport, which cost her $400,000 via a real estate investment programme, was useful when she travelled between London and New York on business as it allows for visa-free travel to the UK and Europe.
But now that she has retired in Abuja, Bimpe, whose husband has passed away, wants her three adult sons to have the same opportunities to travel and live abroad.
“My kids were interested in visa-free travel. They are young graduates, wanting to explore the world. So that was the reason for my investment”, she explains.
Her investment to gain a Grenada passport for herself and her sons took the form of a $300,000 stake in the Six Senses La Sagesse hotel on the Caribbean island, which she bought in 2015.
Pierocash: Don't let what you read online deceive you that it is sleeping paralysis.
What is happening to you is demonic. You are under witchcraft attack. Nobody who have such experience that won't suffer one misfortune or the other. Some ignorant dudes will soon land and start claiming intellectuals,and forming technocrats by calling black people ignorant.
But bro, take my word for it,you are under demonic siege,go for deliverance because I was in that situation of yours ,I did deliverance and am totally free from that rubbish. I sleep perfectly well like a baby for many years now
