Nice one

But why 9ja bloggers like converting foreign currency to naira


We already know our money is worthless

I tire for them o.

SBL28:
Some of us are doing great. My ex is responsible for the financial needs of our kids. I just don't like the fact that he doesn't spend time with them as he should even though we live in the same city. I feel bad for my kids but what can I do? I do my best to make them happy, they are doing great.

Also, God blessed me with a supportive family too, my parents and siblings are amazing.

Generally, life is good.

I really applaud single mothers like you. Stay strong and your kids happiness and welfare are paramount.

Grammatical error.
She's not IN a Lambo, she's standing by the door of a Lambo.

Good observation and correction!

Sarrki..Sannu! Barka da rana! Are you still a Buhari supporter?

Another bad LOOTING machine.........between this guy and saraki i wonder who loot pass.

Saraki..I can prove it.

Azmanaty:
And this idiot has been flaunting money everywhere and all that.. Just go to his facebook page and see for yourselves.. He calls himself THE MONEY TEAM

Why can't all these fraudsters eat their ill gotten wealth in peace and not flaunt it like fools??

Although I don't condone fraud but there are quite a number of wealthy fraudsters who are very humble, coded and don't show off on social media. I've personally met a few and heard of others.

Commentor:
Nigeria doesn't have money.

The little we make as a country is oftentimes cornered by a select few, giving the illusion of wealth.

I've a different perspective about your assertion.
Here's a list of looters released by the WB.
http://jaguda.com/social-issues/news/news-world-bank-releases-list-of-nigerian-looters-with-billions-in-foreign-banks/
Combined looting of this magnitude from a country shows its only a tip of the iceberg on the country's revenue potential.
Currently, 60% of Nigeria's revenue is being used to repay our foreign debt which means we still need to keep borrowing to make sure 100% of the annual budgets are funded..So I'm assuming when you mentioned 'little', that refers to the 40% left after servicing our foreign debt.
I stand corrected.

GOOGLE THE 10 MOST PEACEFUL COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. THEY'RE ALL ABOVE 90% IRRELIGIOUS.
GOOGLE THE 10 MOST PROGRESSIVE AND PRODUCTIVE. UP TO 8 FROM THE LIST ARE ABOVE 90% IRRELIGIOUS.

NOW GOOGLE THE 10 POOREST COUNTRIES. THEY'RE ALL ABOVE 90% RELIGIOUS.
GOOGLE THE 10 MOST VIOLENT AND DANGEROUS COUNTRIES. THEY'RE ALL ABOVE 90% RELIGIOUS.

IF THIS PROVES ONE THING, IT IS THAT RELIGIONS ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND TAKE MANKIND BACKWARDS INSTEAD OF FORWARD. WE GO BACKWARDS EACHTIME WE RUN TO THE CHURCH OR SHRINE TO FIGHT THE INVINCIBLE DEMON HOLDING OUR PROGRESSES INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY DOING MEANINGFUL WORKS THAT WILL YIELD PROGRESSIVE RESULTS.


PRAYERS DO NOT WORK. ELSE, AMBULANCES WOULD BE DRIVING TO CHURCHES AND NOT HOSPITALS.

I agree with your assertions 10000000%.
Let's take Nigeria for example where we have the highest number of poor people living in extreme poverty and 4 out of 10 richest pastors are Nigerians..This makes no sense to me. I had this discussion with my friends and told them Religion is a big issue in Nigeria and its holding people back and limits progress, innovation and rational thinking.
Personally, I base my morals on reasoning and empathy and not on religion or doctrines.

Let's push something like this to fp. It will go a long way to encourage our Nigerian ladies to be more diligent and enterprising.

I agree with you. This will be inspiring to a lot of ladies.

How many years will they keep cursing boko Haram??

We've heard it all before

Exactly! I believe they should be practical and take action by having adequate and effective security rather than all these curses.

Bbankole:
Before now the traditional families have so much power when it comes to anything concerning land, they are the ones who determine which land will be sold and which one they will keep.

Because of this super power they have on land, they refuse to sell lands to individuals who need it, but give it out to them under tenancy system and which made them to still have full control over that land.

This made it very difficult for anyone who wants to buy land to get one.

Because of this and some other reasons, it finally led to the proclamation of the Land Use Decree (now Act) on the 28th of March, 1978 that vested all lands in every state of the Federation under the control of the State Governors.

The Land Use Act coupled with other laws made it possible for the Governor who is now the owner of all lands in the state to actually have the power to acquire more lands compulsorily for its own public purpose to provide amenities for the greater good of the citizens.

Fortunately, the government still recognizes that indigenes of different sections of the country have a right to existence . . . a right to the land of their birth. Hence, it is customary for state government to cede a portion of land to the original owners (natives) of each area.

So an Excision simply means taking a part from a whole and that part that has been excised, will be recorded and documented in the official government gazette of that state.

In other words, not having an excision means the land could be seized by the Government anytime without compensating you even if you bought it “Legitimately” from the Baale or the Original dwellers on the land.

Hope you understand why this land document is very important before you buy any land. Because it is with this land document that you know if the Land is FREE or Under Government Acquisition.

After you have bought the land , u can now process C of O

Thanks for the clarification. One of my boys will be contacting you soon to schedule a showing, etc

Bbankole:
Available

I'm interested but explain what's SURVEY & EXCISION FILE NUMBER
Why not Certificate of Occupancy?

ABCthings:
Which Anglican Church support gay?
The Church of Nigeria is violently against it.
Gay is sin no arguments about that.

vehemently

Coolcalmcollect:
1) how about equipping police and training dem better.
2) okada isn't the only road machine causing accident, how about banning dangote trucks Also.
3) you bLame the police for lack of security not the citizens.
4) Lagos is far for mega city modernization....we are still a fucking 4rd world country....broke ass, low developed state. there's nowhere in Lagos you can drive 100mph continuously for 20mins nonstop.

I agree with you.

Hhenryy:
Back in the days when man utd had a solid and unrivalled defence.

I can't forget the defensive pair of Ferdinand, Silvestre, Brown and Vidic. They were almost impenetrable. I think that was the best defensive line man utd ever had. Unfortunately, the team is in shambles now.

I remember that formidable defense bro which won the Treble that season..not to forget Evra.

ImagineNation:
The list is endless

I literally trekked from ojuelegba to yabatech this morning.. On my way back from shoprite, I trekked to doyin

What is the way forward my people?

How has the ban on keke and okada affected your movement in Lagos?

Lagos residents only..

I'm in full support of this ban for obvious reasons.
1. Curb the menace of criminals operating on Okada.
2. Reduce the incessant road accidents caused by Okada.
3. Security
4. Mega city modernization.

DonFreshmoney:
I believe the boy. He didn't use the girl for ritual. It was unfortunate that she died while on active service..

Same thing that makes men die on duty killed this gurl, he should be released

Exactly my assertions. If he planned to commit this crime, he wouldn't have filled his correct info on the form while checking in knowing quite well he'll be tracked. Also she must have had a pre-existing health condition.

fasho01:
This is becoming rampant.. Men better check their blood pressure and other vitals regularly

Exactly! A lot of men have chronic high blood pressure without knowledge and still take these sex enhancing drugs and supplements which rapidly elevates their heart rate.

Davash222:
Sir, it’s not all about Hardwork or working Hard. After all your hard works, you’ll still come and play his lotto, probably lose, thereby enriching him. It’s all about working diligently and smart. You and your hardworkers are the ones enriching him and still accusing him of not working hard. It’s insane!

I'll totally agree with your assertion. Although I don't condone looting and other shady practices he's accused of, but if it's income generated from his lotto/gambling business that's being sprayed like that then that's fine because if the gamblers that patronized his business had won millions, you'll see them turning up and also spraying money @ events.

ValCon888:
The cause of death is not murder.
1. He's obese. Obesity is a symptom of more serious issues like cardiac arrest and sudden death syndrome.
2. He's a northerner. He's most likely to have used local sex enhancing drugs to boost his stamina thereby quickening his heart rate and triggering a heart attack.

The girl should be released.

Exactly my assertions..He died of a heart attack. They should release the innocent girl.

ENEMYOFGOD6:


how do we get here as a country ? it is impossible for a man to take another Man's Penis.we have been hearing the Penis lost since 13AD, but nobody has a concrete evidence to back up their allegedly disappeared Penis.nonsense liar.

On point!

BusolaDakolo:
Invite at least 4 girls, anyone that comes first is the winner. You go on flight mode immediately. The others are on their own.
I'll rather disappoint than be disappointed. I'm not wicked at all. I just want to avoid situation like this below.

Bad guy!

NihiIist:
You invite a girl to come over, she promises you. Because of her, you quickly arrange your house, clean everywhere, wash your toilet clean, lay your bed and spray airfreshner. You even down a bottle of alomo bitters and all sorts of concoction just in case.

The time for her to come is here as you agreed and well you decided to give her about an hour or so maybe she'll show up but she doesn't.

You call her phone to ask her whatsup, she's not picking, some will even switch off their phone.

Pls if you know you wouldn't come, you shouldn't have made the promise. It's nothing but wickedness

What if she started her period that day but was shy to say it? So she decided not to show up.

martowskin1:
U wrote well but ended ur beautiful write up with a nasty line "Igbo thing" how many wealthy Igbo guys do u know, cubanna, e-mony, kcee, are show biz kind of people, their kind of business call for the show off.

Go to Anambra and see billoniares that don't even have social media account.

I agree with you and had the same assertion until he became tribalistic and mentioned Igbo thing.
He failed to realize that not all igbos are show-offs. We all know very wealthy men both in Nigeria and diaspora that are not on social media and prefer to remain quiet and humble. Their net worth is in the millions of $ and growing. These are the kind of men I applaud.

Biafrarep:
No problem. Other continents are making exploits in technology, health, research etc and in the process reducing poverty, disease, societal ills to make humanity a better place but what do we have in Africa? Highly religious people that are ironically very far from God!
All we are after here is how to build the highest capacity church/mosque, plant the most church/mosque branches, wasting money and man hours while enriching Saudi Arabia in the name of pilgrimage, killing others everyday in the name of honoring some god, wasting man hours in the name of crusades/revivals/night vigils etc yet evil continues to soar across the land.

We have become the world's poverty capital for a reason!
We are today housing the world's two deadliest terror groups for a reason!
We are today suffering all manner of crises for a reason!
We are doomed going forward because we have refused to evolve like normal humans!
According to Charles Darwin's theory, those that fail to evolve will ultimately go extinct and their is no doubt we are already going extinct!
Bible warned us that people die because of lack of knowledge yet we have refused to be reasonable!

We are already poverty stricken but these stinkingly rich pastors keep warning us of Doom befalling us if we refuse to hand over 10% of our widow's might to them!!

They can build 1 million churches, buy 10 private jets, and enjoy their heaven while still here on Earth but promise us our own heaven when we die.

God have mercy on us and deliver us from ignorance and lack of knowledge!!!

I agree with your assertion. Well said.

magicminister:
It’s his personal life and his business.
Though I can’t help but notice that most black athletes and celebrities go for whites women but you’d rarely ever see a white celebrity with a black women.

Our women are beautiful and intelligent. It’s quite unfortunate that our successful men would rather give their economic power to the whites than to bring it back home.

It is well sha. I pray that in my life time, the black race will rise like a phoenix and take an enviable position in the world! It starts with Nigeria! If nigeria don’t succeed, the black race is doomed!

Bro..I've a Swiss female coworker who wants to date/marry a Nigerian. She's currently in Abuja for 6 months. Let me know if interested. This could be your ticket to Swiss citizenship.

*America has the biggest economy on earth not the biggest Church
*Germany has the biggest economy in Europe not the biggest church
*America has the biggest factory on earth not the biggest church
*Rwanda has the cleanest city on earth not the biggest church
*China has the highest number of Billionaire not the biggest church
*China has the biggest airport in the world not the biggest church
*Dubai has the tallest building and the largest man Island in the world not the biggest church
*Of the most visited Tourist site on earth none is in Nigeria, not even the biggest church in Abuja attracts tourists. They are not interested of course.
*Nigeria has the biggest church in the world;
It has the most corrupt politicians
It has the the highest number of churches and Pastors, It has the most unimaginable citizens, it has the most divided ethnic groups, the most prayerful people and yet the most inconsiderate at the same time.
*Nigeria is home to the biggest church, the world's poorest citizens and yet 8 out of 20 wealthiest Pastors on earth are from this annexed contraption called Nigeria.

Is anyone still wondering why we are as backward as a people more than ever before, then ask yourself why these countries with the biggest stuff don't have the biggest church.

I stop here, so that i could let you use your natural App inside your cranium called brain for a moment to think about this.

You hit the nail on the head..Well said.

Originalsly:
....same thought came to mind!... adultery.... fornication... abortions....gambling... none of these stuff affect him... but to steal his money??...all hell broke loose! But then again... if he can go this far to warn church members ... why didn't he go to the Police and have the thief charged for grand larceny? I strongly believe this is a scam.... to get members to give more to make up for the ehmmm.... stolen funds.

I had the same reasoning. If grand lacerny was committed, then why didn't he report to the authorities which is the right thing to do.
This theft will make his members sympathetic and I won't be surprised if a special offering is named "Stolen funds replacement" for members to give.

Gwilym:
The sad thing about this...is not the prayer, but the fact that the Construction company has not finished a job in 2019 in 2020.

The problem with religion in Nigeria is its adherents. A Christian is supposed to do a good job...whether it is ensuring that cash is paid on time for construction, or whether projects are executed on time.

I agree with you and applaud your logical reasoning devoid of any sentiments.
A construction company was awarded a contract and most likely paid to complete construction in 2019 but it didn't due to undisclosed reasons - most likely due to deliberate corrupt practices.
Prayers or religion has nothing to do with this.

crackhaus:
Bless up man, I say amen for you.

With that whip, even classy chics on Genevieve level will be calling you for no reason at 6:30am just to ask how you slept and if you've had your breakfast.

Iran should better thread with caution. Trump is not Obama o. Someone who promised to build a wall around Mexican border and also cut China to size. as stupid as those campaign promises sounded back then, Trump has already achieved them. He is no politician, he comes from a successful business background. Talk and do. Iran has emotionally talked itself into trouble. Saudi Arabia won't mind attacking US facility codedely and tag it on Iran as any attack on US in the middle East would be deemed an Iranian attack. The mumu egoistic ayetollah won't even want to deny it. Isreal is standing by the corner waiting for the slightest reason to go all out against iran. It's a terrible situation for Iran, they were over pampered by the Obama administration. When Sadam Hussain was alive who know Iran. Democrats made Iran feel like a world power by allowing them access to their frozen funds in exchange for halting nuclear advancement. Iran has been using those funds to fund terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and hamas and fight proxy wars against the US and Isreal. Thank God Trump has shredded d deal and impose heavy sanctions. Let's see where Iran will get d funds to prosecute a full scale war.

I totally agree with your assertion.
The killing of their Colonel Soleimani was just a bait to lure Iran into a full blown war to eventually topple Rouhani regime.
A country that spent over $2 trillion on military isn't one to mess with and Rouhani is smart enough to know the repercussions of a retaliatory attack on any US base or interests.
