TheBillyonaire:
The price inflation at the moment is not caused by excess liquidity but arbitration in the fx market. The text book approach of cutting excess liquidity to curb inflation is NOT default approach for any inflationary signal. Whatever excess liquidity they might think of, is basically cash in water tanks used for fx profiteering by the economic assasins.

Economic Assassins..... Hahahahaha

I don see new word acrobatics today... Rightly put, those guys are simply assassinating the economy with phantom and nonsense pretenses to solve the matter on ground.

I don't believe they don't already know this, I feel all their pretensions are tailored toward a goal that escapes this daddy but of course, always geered towards assassinating the economy so to speak.


Billyonaire don make me laff dis mourning...

SpartaOfLagos:
According to the report , One of the occupants of the under bridge name is 'Sola' and he's living under the bridge because he could not afford house rent in Lagos .

Sola may just be one of those shouting "Our Lagos" but na under bridge he dey live .


This news by Punch newspaper has just confirmed to what the South east people have been saying that the Igbos contributed a great deal to the development of Lagos

No be new thing na...

The recent Isésè festival was enjoyable. But unlike my usual cosmopolitan self, I find myself rejecting to give boys money when they asked I show dem love...

Me wey dey vex almost regularly these days. I only sparingly put on generator when there's no light in the night cos of managing fuel. I spent twice as much anywhere I transport to and the same werey that was ignorantly stealing ballot boxes and creating mayhem during elections(not like Obi and Atiku were any saints o) will now still eat from my hard earned osusu? The gods forbid bad thing. It's now my rule that any youth that has sold his sense to whoever should go request for whatever from them.

The werey dem still ran away with some of my bottles, something that was meant for me and my friends, plaughing as if I dey play with dem ...

Under bridge was their abode before, and it'll forever be until they blow like their godfather in Aso Villa or maybe their ThugBaron MC Oluomo.

And don't forget, under bridge is where their thiefing market is more productive.

See me dey speak ingrish for nonsense matter..smh

This daddy didn't even bother to read through the whole thing...

Cos, I no wan vex pass d vex wey dey always worry me each time these pilferers in public offices show their latent talent in ignoring serious matters and engage in unreasonable acts that negatively affects the nation's purse ..

Make una jhus gather osusu give us make we wipe dem out. In jhus a few months, the invisible stakeholders go vanish, and the scapegoats go face public execution as the criminals wey dem be. Even their ploys to cause anarchy would be expected and engaged.

I will continue to say this, I don't care if Seun's bot dey look me bad eye, the problem of the country has gone beyond the stage where anything can be handled piss_fully. Unless you want the vawulent in power to use your their thugs (who are also in penury o), take show you shege.

It's still simple the way I see it. With the level of tech and the innate fear of death the cowards have.

No mind any sanctions from their cohorts, there are a thousand ways to navigate that stormy waters of sanctions...

Always in my vawulent mode when our dear very disappointimg public officials are concerned...

Oscarchims:
When naija one do something, them dey really put mind I swear

True talk .

Whether good or bad, na we dey breathe....

jaeyking:
Hmmmm

What about the guys

Why are they looked at as top guns but the ladies as a bad egg

Different scenarios prove that we are not equal before the law

A man with a high body count is given a high rep
A woman with a high body count is seen as a slut

A woman screams sexual molestation, quickly the man is manhandled and quickly put on trial

A man screams sexual molestation, he is laughed upon by the society.

Imagine going to school and u were called that your 16yr old son is banging his hot female class teacher, (i know most of us guys will be extremely proud and happy)

Now look at it that you were called that a male teacher was banging your 16yr old daughter. The teacher has signed his death warrant.

So it's more or less what the society approves or see fit

But above all PLEASE BE MORALLY UPRIGHT

What can we say...

Welcome to Planet TerraXYZ...

Old people everywhere...

Kudos naptu2. Your threads are always wonderful.

Surprisingly, I was watching Trybesmen Plenty Things today on YouTube. Came across it and couldn't help but laugh..

Here's a link to the funny video. We loved the songs and videos back then but it all seems strange and funny now. Be like they were operating on 2D then... smh

Generalmystic:
Tinubu won't back down from this war because US and France has a dossier of his criminal activities

Baba Jagaban, jhus dey do shalo and una dey take am serious.

Na scope to take siphon more osusu wey USA and France go send, or you forget say dem seize baba money before?

Baba go show dem, do me I do you..

TheBillyonaire:
All wars in West Africa, and indeed the whole of Africa, should be fought to eliminate Colonialists and Imperialists interests.

The Military of African countries should ensure that Colonialists are driven out, and if coup is the only way, so be it.

Ah,


I see Niger leaving the ranks of poorest African countries....

E remain Nigeria. Some people needs to be eliminated so our productivity will be resurrected..

The baastards jhus hold a whole great country for blokus...smh

IMO

It's very unnatural not to love those three things our resident pastor listed.

The cause of evil is not the love of money. It's instead the lack of it in a society where money dictates so many things.

There was a time in the evolution of society where money was inexistent. Does that mean there was no evil back then? No. Other things were in its place then and the lack of those things will still cajole/entice people to do acts that negatively affect their fellow human.

As for the girls?
Common pastor, don't get us started on this. If man no love the beautiful fairer sex, na our fellow bearded, hair-chested, muscle and vein decorated men dem wan go love? Haba mana!!!
Like my Prof will always tell me: "Matter Loves Matter(MLM)"
and hey, the creators saw it fit to leave our default mode as such so it's very unnatural to not love the opposite sex. Now I no dey talk about those loonies wey love same sex o.


And for Glory or Pride..
This can be viewed from separate windows. One needs to be prideful in my own honestly thought out opinion, in whatever they've achieved or in whatever endeavors they consider to have conquered. If there's cause to be prideful, abeg wear am for head like a crown or is it easy to win in an endeavor many lost and gave up in?

Abeg, morning pastor..

Depends

Wainey:
exactly, that how they behave, always quick to insult.

U are Obidient, I am ready to bet

Well ur calculation is wrong, that is why I know u are Obidient. if u share N2m to 200m Nigerians from the N5b,

N4b won't remain

Whatever...

Wrong calculation or not...

Speak on the main topic... Leave obidient and obltuary out of the main matter.

Why are they continuously repeating the same mistakes of giving the supposed palliatives to people even they themselves are sure would hoard it?

Nigerians sef ...smh

Wodu89:
Massive

The Chinese constructed 15,000 housing units in South Africa in just 4 days, let's see how much time the Qataris will spend on this.

Meanwhile everyone seems to be looking out for their families across the globe to show some love. Christian communities, ministers in the Vineyard of God, we can use our earthy resources to do alot and win souls for the kingdom. Just imagine if we invested heavily in agriculture and help the society with heavily subsidized foods during these harsh periods, Imagine the souls we would win to the kingdom. Please let's match our request for givings with giving back please

Good idea..

But stop the joke. Osusu bishops are caretakers and treasurers of the heavenly bank. You want our esteemed osusu bishops to use the talents given to them to do what? Mr man, that's money for the kingdom, it can't be used on wordly people...

Well, the gods now have another brand...

See my people from the south.... LoL

I no wan rent hall, things too cost. See yasef now..

Just go registry and do the needful, if her family no like, put something for her womb and look them in the eyes fuming: "If una no want, make una talk".....

I congratulations the newlyweds jhor

SarcasticWords:
Very irritating gender.😠

Let us do some digging here. Why did she seperate from her husband? Because according to her, he was very toxic. How was he toxic?

1. He was very controlling of her
2. He wouldn't allow her do the things she wants to do.
3. He was always there and supervised whatever she was doing.

For her to fall so stupidly to a scammer online shows that she's obviously not a smart person. Her husband probably noticed this missing trait of intelligence in her and that was why he had to control and supervise whatever she was doing but she viewed his actions as "toxic". 😕

Like I said, very irritating gender.

You too dey vex.

Calm down.

DerKlassiker:
We took his word for it and placed the order. A big mistake.

She made the payment on Thursday. The payment was made to 8528492642,
Kizito Oguizu, @Sterling_Bankng. He promised she would receive the package on Friday or Saturday.

After waiting all through Saturday, we decided to check back on Sunday to know why the phone has not been delivered yet.

He complained about the vehicle bringing the phone breaking down somewhere and the need to fix it.

He promised to deliver on Monday or make a refund.

Chai...

Better learn from this and be cynical like this ancestor.

Any online deals you make, make sure there's POD especially if our not so lovely country is concerned. Bois these days dey even phish escrow....

Be well

Ah...


Sparingly... Only just click on the app once in a violet moon to see if my old friends are still alive...

And to let them know I'm not dead yet...

And when I get tired and angry at Nigeria, I'll uninstall the app entirely...

Only to reinstall when I remember I have to check who among my old friends are dead, or remind them that I'm not dead yet...

Abeg let the matter rest, Facebook guarantees no freedom to do anyhow, so Nairaland bests Facebook anytime where I'm concerned....

BabaIbo:
I don't regret mine, I started seeing money early in life sha.
I rather see it as a lesson which is one of the things that guided my ways and success today.

You know when I was young, I was more like my dad's managing director in his business, you know kids born into a business family.
I dey see money, I opened my first bank account very early in life. As far back as late 90's and early 2000's, some days I dey handle(I won't call it stealing because na my papa money 😂), 30k to 50k as money to blow.
Sometimes, I will want to imagine what I could have achieved had it been I channelled those money into the right spending, but since I don't like regrets, I will just delete the thought from my head.

I buy things that are not necessary, I and my friends sometimes deposit money(in hundreds of thousands) in boutique and be collecting the clothes gradually, na now I know how deep those boutique guys go don fleece us, but it is what it is.
Lodge girls in hotels or guesthouse, go to clubs to blow money and so many nons ense acts.

My changing point was when I gained admission, omoh my dad taught me financial lesson wey I no wan learn by force, he only send me allowance only once in a month, he no send if I burn everything that same day, I must not call him for any extra money, some times I will just run back home from school, and say I'm done with schooling. That how do they expect me to study with empty stomach, my dad no go send me, na my mama go dey beg am on my behalf and he gave me some money, that was the genesis of my financial discipline.

Hahahaha, spoilt child...smh

You too spoil, I hope your old man drill you well? My own old man na military drilling the man give me anytime I pilfer something un-smattly... so this daddy wisened up and started pilfering smartly. Got caught most times still, that's why I suspect my old man. Everyone knows if you wan catch monkey, you must be a monkey .. hahahaha

My brother, you don make me remember my old man, he's a jungle soldier and an old schemer that's why he's able to catch me in most of my schemes...
I miss the guy jor, wish I had spent more time with him in his old age... Smh


But no, regret and this ancestor no fit tie the same wrapper. No matter what happens, I'm mostly indifferent. My calculative mind has very little time to bother about some things.

I'm following you from now on, you're a man to my heart, abi how Jesus take use those words...

maticar:
Hmmmm

Don't tell you find that funny...

If you know, then you know..

maticar:
A man has no name

Have you ever heard this ..

Parables are not words of the wise, but words of the crafty and duplicitous,....

Maybe that's why most unbelievers don't trust the bible, cos the parables fit tear coat...lols
No mind my joke..

But taking your comment into consideration, tell me what inspired such thoughts that "A Man Has No Name"

Unlike some people, please do not quote anybody else o, just your own thoughts is enough to get my chaotic mind rolling, if you would permit that, that is.

Skyview01:
Looking back at my career trajectories and jobs I have had in the past if someone would ask me what was my best and life-changing job, I would say without any shadow of a doubt, it was my job at a small-sized audit firm along Ikorodu Road Lagos that changed my career as an accountant.

It was the year 2000 and I was done with my Accounting Technician Service(ATS) - I started with my SSCE and passed my PE1 with ICAN.
I was preparing for the next level and desperately looking for a job. Without a degree, OND, HND, and Nysc, or any formal education for that matter. I was a poor broke dude coming from a large poor family, all eyes were on me in the family and I could not afford to fail.

For me, it was a do-or-die kid of affair!

As broke as a church rat, I would always go to the newspaper vendors at the Cele bus stop in Lagos every Tuesday, and pay a token to borrow the Tuesday Guardian.

That was before the internet era, I would write out all the vacancies and return the paper to the vendor. That way, At some point, I had submitted more than 200 applications with no feedback. Totally discouraged, I taught the village people are on top of my matta and might be under some spiritual spell.

Around mid-2000, I came upon a brilliant idea, I made up my mind that I needed experience from an audit firm very badly on my resume if I were to succeed as an accountant. So, I printed more than fifty(50) copies of my resume and starting from Anthony bus stop on Ikorodu Road, up to Oju-Elegba bus stop, you know there are lots of small accounting firms along that axis.

I trekked and distributed my resume and cover letters to all the firms I could find while in the hot sun, sweating like a Christmas goat about to be slaughtered for the pleasures of others.

My modus operandi was to walk up to the receptionist of any firm and tell them I was looking for a job. I would give out my resumes and cover letters like candies on a Halloween night, asking for them to contact me if they happen to have any vacancies while I tossed resumes under doors for offices that were closed.

When I got back home, I would wake up in the middle of the hot night to pray and cry to God for divine favor on my applications.

One month after that exercise precisely, I got a call from one of the audit firms I had dropped my resume to come for an interview for the position of Semi-senior at a whooping salary of N5,000 naira in a month. I was so happy and was jumping upandan with joy, even went to the local revival hour service to share a loud testimony in the church.

Most of the time, I could not afford transport fares and would hitch a ride on the open back of a neighbor's pickup truck for free while immaculately dressed in my cut-and-join three-piece suit and a fat guillotine, neck-chocking tie, sweating and smelling like a Canadian skunk, to work in the at my 5k naira job.

I worked in that company for about one year and learned a lot, I was able to lead audits of manufacturing companies, government agencies, and finance and construction companies, and within one year, I was already well-grounded in accounting work experience.

Going back to the topic of the thread, the reason why I rated that, 5000naira/month, job was that later in the years, all three breakthrough jobs I had specifically requested experience in an accounting firm as a major requirement.
I wouldn't have gotten those jobs without my audit firm experience. I later went on to finish my exams and lectured for the institute, and the rest, as they say, are now stories.

Never let anybody put you down and do not despise days of little beginnings, That little position you may be occupying today may be a building block to a brighter future and hard work does pay.

Whatever you want in life, go out there and fight for it like it's a matter of life and death.
After you have tried your best, you can now go and pray as though you depend on God 100% (if you are religious)

Without that 5k job, I am positive I may not be where I am today, and the purpose of this write-up is to encourage millions of young one's out there. The country may be tough and our leaders may be failing us, prices of commodities may be sky-high in the market, but that is not enough excuse for you not to succeed.


Thanks for reading.

This ancestor thanks you.

I never started small, but was brought down from my lofty throne cause of my arrogance, maybe.

Got on point with my finances but each time I recall what I once was and what I could be if I knew what I know today, I just laff and even jeer at my former self.. I just thank my stars I got two houses before things fell apart, if not, wetin man for fall back on? Add Dad's after he died so I'm a bit okay as it is. But I could've had more, be more ..

I also thank the gods I can still care for myself and family else maybe like our dear Queen, Farida, this daddy too for don go test the third mainland bridge to see if it's capable of ending me.... SMH

Maybe my problem was lack of ambition or vision like our Nigerian leaders or lack of direction, this much I admit. But I'm putting this on here for young men who got their young hands on money real early in their lives, learn from our foolishness. .

OyeofIkoTuN:
The suspect claimed he did not know what came over him when he committed the atrocity against the three year old child

....



People that report such cases to the Police are weak,trust me the Police doesn't like them either

I implore the village people of the man do the needful for justice and claim they don't know what came over them when they committed the atrocity..

Police cannot arrest 1000 villages for the death of a paedophile and wassup with yoruba mooslims this year..You cannot afford to be trending more than terrorist on sickening crimes like rituals and child rape

Bia Odogwu, what do you mean by the being weak for reporting?

Come explain

Lemme guess, the devil push you.

Devil cannot push una enter front of Dangote trailer, make trailer finish ya life, na to push you go molest small pikin. You should be hanged....

IMO, I see people like these as sick. What would any sane man gain from rape? Especially on a minor?

They should just count themselves lucky that this ancestor is not part of any judicial proceedings involving such, else, I'll make them all die a very painful and brutal death...

Lovenorth:
They have done what their religion asked them to do, pretending, hypocrisy and double standard are their core values

Mr man wetin happen?

This early mormor you don dey lambast religious people? E be like say you want make I pursue go back go sleep...

So, because dem be bishop, dem no go enjoy their life again? Abeg leave our osusu bishops alone o, else we go use holy ghost fire and wire, fire and wire ya yansh for u...lols

YouAreNobody:
Why is nairaland recycling news? They've brought this topic to FP a few days ago

YouAreNobody...

What inspired this moniker, I wonder....

Mind sharing?

Lanretoye:
deploy your own military too so you can oust him.

Ah, e don reach like dis?

Considers?

Be like Nigerian political projections...

When they truly start to import from war-torn Russia, let us know...

Message sounds like someone is trying to pull a veil over the true situation of food and it's stufs in Russia.

FLYFIRE:
I had your understanding until I realised that America WILL NEVER ALLOW RUSSIA TO ESTABLISH A MILITARY BASE IN CUBA.

It's the same reason Russia doesn't want an American military base in Ukraine.

It's all just like chess. No one wants an enemy piece in their own territory especially not so close to their throne.

LifeofDream:
Unfortunately for you and your western master, propaganda won't make Ukraine escape the mass death they're facing...

I heard they're even begging Romania to stop filming their destruction from their border.

Ukraine a sacrificial lamb in a chess pieces between two nation afraid of facing each other ...

They're bringing the show to Africa. And everywhere there are people who lack any form of identity or sense.(Remember how Iran bombed a plane filled with Ukrainians just to vent about the assassination of WarLord Suleimani?)... smh

If they truly face each other, there'll be hell to pay. Both will be severely weakened, plus it'll surely draw more than just these two behemoths into the mix, it'll affect more than half of the world and this is exactly what they're trying to avoid. The analysis told them to hold off for the meantime.

Unless there's some kind of confidence in going in and coming out with not so severe wounds, the US will never face Russia and China in frontal warfare unless somehow they are forced. As we know, among all murderous baastards, the US has the most rallying power

gaby:
1000 ways to die indeed.

Farewell, Pilot.

Condolences to your family, friends, and loved ones.

That program still on?

Chai, it was one of the programs this daddy like...

Small thing can jhus take someone's life. In Nigeria, most of those deaths will be explained away as spiritual arrow ....lols. Village people don turn Robin Hood...smh

Archers everywhere in everyone's village.
