Hmmm...my own is that we must all work together to make sure Nigeria becomes great again. Pay your 5% cyber crime levy, even bandits and kidnappers pay their crime levy after receiving wire transfer so why shouldn't the law abiding Nigerian pay the 5% cyber crime levy? It goes towards nation building.

Do married women envy spinsters?

Honestly this is a very foolish question...... Before I got married I always admired married couples.

I got married few months back and it's one of the best decisions I have made in my life, family and friends now respect me more than before. Heads turn whenever I step out with my stunning Edo beauty.


No gain jumping from one woman to another, I have been there before.......Since I got married I have peace of mind, no more unnecessary expenses.

What do you know about the nations security?

I had an in-law who worked for the SSS. He said everyday, they submit security reports to the president and all the governors, local government chairmen and advice them on measures to take. I have always wondered why a man as patriotic as Buhari (I am not a fan) would seek treatment overseas. Apparently, rumours has it he was once poisoned.

Hmmmm , "severity" a lot maybe happening to you and your family and I'm sorry about that. Nigeria is not a place of joy but I'm very confused about the meaning of severity. That word seems to acquire a new meaning here.

3 things Nigerians must check next time they see a press release tagged "Ohaneze"

1. Okechukwu Isiguzoro is not a member of Ohaneze Ndigbo and has been asked by the group to stop parading himself as a member or representative of Ohaneze.

2. No one has actually seen this man called Okechukwu Isiguzoro

3. The fake personality mostly uses APC media to publish illegal press release, e-g PM News, thenation and sometimes Vanguard.

The next time he releases any press publication, kindly check and you will always confirm that the media he engages mostly are affiliated with Tinubu. Outright falsehood if you ask me

It’s no longer news how Dollar is skyrocketing in our Economy Nigeria Today, and the Devaluation of our Naira, well I’ll like to share my own 2percent on the situation.

Considering the fact that Nigeria only spends naira, But the availability of dollars to some, in the economy is Devastating. These are the Big business corps, BDC’s operators and Particularly the Government. The reason for our currency devaluation, here I’ll tell you now..I’m an economist and a part time forex trader, so believe it what I’m telling is true.

The Cbn exchange dollar thru the Bureau d change to the public, the way they do it, is By releasing Dollars to particular registered BDC traders as they claim, Dollars is released to this Individuals to sell to the General public daily, What these people do is, they sell at a particular rate and increase the rate so as to Have some dollars left in stock, By hoarding them, They come back to the bank next day and deposit naira, Saying Demand of Dollars is High, Next day collecting of dollars take place in the Bank again, the bank doesn’t have a choice than to increase the rate cos the rate of return is Low in Value, Definitely business has been done and profit has been made. The issue is Why can’t the CBN put a stop to Street Trading, Aboki’s calling people dollar, dollar on the streets and Devise a Means of Transaction using the Bank for Transparency while Dealing thru the Accounts of the BDC’s, this way you can avoid Laundering of money, illegal transactions and Consumption of Government funds, Most Politicians in Abuja prefer to use the Bureau d change cos it’s a seamless way of Transaction, No one can hold you, No amount is too much, Infact the bigger the amount the Better they friends with you. Street transaction of Dollars is still the same as Spending dollars in the economy. You won’t see other Countries allowing other currencies to be Transferable in the Streets, We have to put a stop to this Menace if we want to save this Country from Collapsing , Using Debts to hold the naira is not the way, Defunding the Banks of Dollar deposits is not the way, Defunding the crypto holders is not even the way, We have to let Transparency and Records take control of the Exchange system, Not in the streets, But banks. Slots can be made Available for Preferable BDC’s Vendors, And Stop Doing Business with the Economy

Starzzy:
And before you ask how many international airports I have passed through, I have been to a significant number across six continents. At least I have passed through over 150 in 78 countries.

I think that should be enough to have the experiential knowledge on how some of these things work.

The key issue is that Nigeria does not want to change.
Nigerians love the chaos that envelopes them daily. It appears that “anyhowness” has been embedded into our social DNA such that whatever efforts to get us to drop our ways of doing things would meet stiff oppositions.

I have to admit that the MMIA Terminal 2 is more decent than the old terminal, but from my experience in the last few months, you could still see that it is fast becoming infected.
Please let the signs at the arrival halls do their jobs.

There is no need stationing an officer to tell passengers where to queue. The signs ate bold enough, and if anyone makes mistake and stay on wrong queue, they would correct themselves. It is not a crime.

It appears Nigeria Immigration Service has far more officers than is needed because I do not see why you should have up to five to six officers carving out job specifications of “Yellow Fever” traffic control of passengers.

“Welcome sir, how was your flight, go here, go there, stay here, and stay there”……six well trained officers? What a waste of human resources.

I have cried out before, questioning why we should have NDLEA, DSS check passengers passports before sending them to the Immigration officers. That too is a huge waste of manpower. All over the world, the best practice is a single officer stamp you in, or stamps you out. The country should have a central security database accessible to all agencies.

This unnecessary inter-agency trust deficit is itself a security risk. That was one of the weaknesses of the American system before 9/11, and after a thorough overhaul of internal security the agencies got merged that is why the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) handles both customs and Immigration with the support of the US Dept. of Homeland Security officers who carry out oversight functions in realtime.

That is what obtains in virtually all the advanced economies of the world that I have traveled to in the last few years.
The US has even stopped stamping passports. They simply scan you in, and scan you out. Some cases you do it yourself, they just direct you where to place your passport. Even you check in yourself at airline counter, print your boarding passes and baggage tags, affix them on your bags, and take to the counter to drop. SIMPLE LIFE.

Yes, we pay for trolley in many other countries, in most US airports, it is $6.

But what does it take to actualize some of these workable things in Nigeria?

Infrastructurally, it is next to nothing, but mentally, it is Sysiphian. We love suffering.

Across the world, interactions between the immigration officer and the passenger is recorded live with a supervisor listening in, some other countries have video cameras that capture everything so that issues of forcing first time passengers ( as is mostly the case here) to slip in dollar notes inside their passports are not there.
I experienced this in India over 7 years ago.

In Indonesia, I saw a great innovation where passengers has a HDTV screen that captures from the time their luggage leaves the belly of the aircraft onto the carrousel then down to the hall for retrieval. You watch everything on screen.

I would not want to go into my experiences at either Changi International Singapore, Narita, and Haneda both in Tokyo, or even Incheon International Seoul, those are what airports should aspire to be. If you miss your flight at Changi, you wont even know you missed anything. It is home in itself.

Like in Shanghai, AI has already ran a full security scan on you before you get to the counter thus oftentimes, you are waved to go carry your luggage.

Sometime in February, I was pleasantly shocked when I landed at brand news terminal of Freetown International Airport Lungi, Sierra Leone, the seamlessness of the organization was mind blowing.

There were only five non passengers at the baggage collection point. Two from the airline, two from Customs, one airport Police officer, and nobody was marketing his exceptional skill of helping you carry your luggage. You would experience same thing in Niamey, Senegal, Mauritania, Ethiopia, among many other African countries, but not Nigeria, especially Lagos.

Nigeria is the only place where you have a long table of over 15 officers from different agencies all competing against one another by shouting at the passenger to come to their own stand at the same time. Is it not shameful that officers would be shouting as if they are market women at Oyigbo selling pepper and crayfish hustling for customers?

Sometimes they even fight amongst themselves over quest to "obtain" from a passenger. National shame.

Then immediately you step out of the hall, all hell would be let loose on you, from taxi drivers to money changers, to touts hustling for everything under the Sun would besiege you as if you are a lamb on its way to a slaughter house.

At the taxi pickup stand, you’re your harassment continues, they would not even allow the person who came to pick you up to see space to park. At the same time touts masquerading as airport officials would want to clamp the wheels of your car. WTF is this country?

You would encounter able bodied men and women would be struggling with you to put your luggage into your own car, after which they besiege you with demands.
How can a country grow and develop on the back of anyhowness as a national lifestyle?

Dear Festus Keyamo, you promised to tackle some of these shameful acts during your oath taking, it is going to a year...
