I think these things depend on the family & of course culture. Where I'm from (South Africa) & with my people (Xhosa), age is very important. When a boy reaches a certain age, usually puberty, there are certain things or rules that are followed. As his sister, mother or whatever, you're supposed to give him some degree of respect since he is no longer a child. Meaning, you can't be parading naked infront of him & he is also expected to do the same. He should be dressed. It's a sign of respect according to the culture of the people.

There were no reports of card reader malfunctioning in Kaduna. What do you have to say about Rivers and Akwa Ibom results? I'd like to hear your opinion. Thanks

Your Buhari has won eventually and rather than going out there to celebrate your most memorable highlight, your here asking me about my opinion as if that is going tochange a thing.

The other states you mentioned are quite isolated, therefore, a different issue all together which I do not even wish to dwell on them at the moment.

Politics › Re: Kaduna Presidential Election Result: Buhari Wins - The Nation by Curvinus(m): 5:54pm On Mar 30, 2015

So, by implication, over 1.5 million people were duly accredited and in effect did cast their votes in Kaduna State, despite the widely reported malfunctioning card readers as well other technical glitches?

If truly the INEC would announce such a result which even the neutral and by extension, the staunchest of APC supporters would admit is not a reflection of the true situation in that State, then it would certainly leave more to the imagination as to what might have transpired.

We'll see.

By inference, i guess GEJ didn't appoint Jega, the INEC mole that has been hunting with APC at night and grandstanding to Nigerians at noon.

Anyway, Rivers people have decided and Amaechi should live with it.

Brother you don't have to berate yourself just yet as Buhari himself has not come out to categorically deny the statement attributed to him.

Or are journalists no longer allowed to paraphrase a portion of their story?

If Buhari must ride to victory on the crescendo of the euphoria created by this report, then he equally should be pious enough to assert the veracity or otherwise.

As for credibility of the op, I read the exact story in today's edition of Thisday newspaper and that for me is a credible enough source.

TheGoodJoe:

No matter how you guys try to bury your heads behind the facts, redenomination of currencies is a common project that has been carried out by many countries.

So most of you guys calling Gen. Buhari an illiterate on this issue are so wrong and backwards in your thoughts. It is possible and feasible. It would have been done by Soludo if the government did not stop him.

Please tell GEJ to publish the PWC report. What are you guys hiding?

Currency redenomination in the real sense of the word is just a cosmetic approach that does not increase the real value of that currency. If anythinh, it is a deliberate policy carried out for the purpose of convenience or portability, so that a Zimbabwean for instance would not have to carry a briefcase full of money just to buy a loaf of bread.

The best way to address a weak currency is to discourage imports and encourage exports and local production.

Why should Nigeria for example be exporting crude oil only to import the finished product all over again, thereby paying foreing shipping companies for freight and other foreign countries for what we can do here locally?

Why should our household electronics, automobiles and other equipments be imported when we should be talking about local manufacture because at end of the day, these are the things that count against our ballance of payment and as long as you continue to have deficits, your currency will continue to fall faster than the speed of light.

As an aside, the latest news trending right now is that Nigerians are the highest spenders on luxury goods at Heathrow airport in London. Seriouly, why.

Omooba77:
Even Japan,China can not achieve this

China, on the contrary deliberately manipulates their currency to remain weak so as to encourage local manufacure of cheap goods in exchange for a strong dollar.

So despite that they export tons of goods to the US, they still use the proceeds to buy trillions of US treasury bills to keep the Chinese Yuan remarkably weak via ballance of payment .

The naira as things stand at the moment has no business exchanging at par with the US Dollars seeing as our industrial capacity is nothing to write home about and we are pretty much an import dependent nation.

It is my humble submission though that Nigeria needs a stronger naira to pursue gigantic capital intensive projects like transportation, power and security, while we concentrate on agriculture and other local manufacture where we have economies of scale.

Now, can a Buhari government - if there ever will be one - achieve this which is by no means a mean feat? That for now is still in the realm of conjecture.

Do you know who a eunuch is? Dont quote the Holy book wrongly.

Queer people have no sexual feelings for the opposite sex and no form of therapy or repentance can change this naturally endowed phenomenon. Nature is really diverse and this is how it has made them.

There used to be time when Blacks were a minority and were treated to the worst form of indignation because they were seen as less than humans.

women in the not too distant past also faced terrible discrimination which they overcame and are still overcoming in some remote places of this earth.

Now, gays are a minority and are being treated as the scum of the earth. In Russia, they are dragged to the streets, beaten and pissed on. They are being lynched in Uganda and Nigeria has made a law to keep them behind bars.

Please stop the discrimination against gays. They are humans like you and I and have a right to life.

Live and let live.

From the look of things, you have no life with nobody to talk to. That explains why you spend most of your time on a Nigerian forum making cringe worthy comments.

I'm at a lost however on why you are hell bent on absolving South Africa of complicity in this heinous murder of a Nigerian even after admitting in your earlier post of drug related gang wars on the streets of SA.

To make matters worse, you've gone a bizare step further to gloat and accuse Nigerians of hypocrisy right at the very moment we are grieving over a fallen brother.

bigfrancis21:
There is no such thing as 'repentance' from homosexuality. Anybody who claims to have been 'healed' is merely deceiving himself. Truth be told, homosexuality and heterosexuality are variations of human sexuality, which are nature's expression of the ever divergent continuum of human diversity. Extensive research has shown that even so-called gay-to-straight reparation therapy does not work. The attraction of the human body is intrinsic in that you are born with it and it stays with you till you die.

Some people are won't to equate homosexuality to sexual activity, however, just like heterosexuality, homosexual people are attracted to members of the same gender both emotionally and sexually. You cannot change the fundamental part of your human attraction. Do not deceive yourself when you think you are 'healed' of homosexuality. Know this: while you can succeed in suppressing your attraction to the same gender, you cannot eliminate it. Subsequently, you cannot increase your desire for the opposite sex if your sexuality is 100% homosexual, except you are bisexual in the first place. You are not the first person towing this path. Hundreds of thousands of young men and women have towed the direction which you are taking and most have had to learn to love themselves the hard way. You wouldn't think that Kenny Bradmuse, 10 years ago when he married his wife, thought that he was 'cured' of his 'sickness' and the 'issue' was settled once and for all only for him to embrace himself 10 years after, after realizing he could no longer keep deceiving himself?

The environment which you find yourself in might be exceedingly disapproving, however you have to remain strong. Be yourself, love yourself for who you are, and always know that you were created for a purpose for God does not make mistakes.

PS: some of you might not agree with me however it is not in your duty to try to attack me for being liberal and standing for enlightenment. I am a liberal person. If you don't agree with me and wish to slander on in ignorance, don't even bother quoting me. Do some research yourself and get enlightened. This is only a tip of the iceberg.

Most sensible response i've seen here today and doubt anyone could have said it any better.

Sadly though, lots of folks here seem to have been radicalize by their religious beliefs, which in most cases tend to shape their viewpoints.

Ain't it a bit too early to be mucking about and talking trash about something you could easily look up on the net?

A decent brain cell will tell you that if you add four zeros to the cedi, you'll have ten thourand cedis exchanging for for N54.51 which is the real value before the cedi was mathematically adjusted by the Ghanaian government.

Please get your facts right and stop embarrassing yourself with lame comments.

I'm sure you'll come here and spout the same garbage by the time Zimbabwe knocks off further zeroes from their currency. Mugs.

A Ghanaian will automatically become a billionaire when he exchange 10,000 cedis to naira.

The minimum wage in Ghana is 6 Cedis a day and 186 cedis a month if the average Ghanaian were to work the full 31 days in a month.

Now, seeing that the Cedi exchanges at 54.51 to the Naira, by the time you multiply 186 by 54.51, you still have 10,138.86 Naira as the minimum wage in Ghana, excluding taxes and other deduction, while here in Nigeria, our minimum wage is N18,000 for a civil servant who works for just 22 days in a month.

So, while it will take an average Ghanaian some 53.7 months or four years and five months to earn 10,000 cedis which is the equivalent of 545,100 Naira, a Nigerian with a minimum wage of N.18,000 a month can actually earn this amount in 30 months and two weeks or two years, six months and approximately three weeks.

So chilax bro as we are far ahead of Ghana in this race to become a billonaire.

Has he always been this hot tempered hedgehog or is this a recent development?

As for wanting to move out, it all depends on your financial warchest but even that is not advisable seeing as you want to do so in a haste. Remember the saying about hasty climbers.

Whatever the case, I think you should just roll over and let the whole thing blow away. Its not worth the drama. Don't even bother asking your mum and if she wants to explain, tell her its all gone now.

As for your Pal, I'd say you should keep a healthy distance. The two of you mayu hve been watching too much nollywood and your now toying with strong words like its some kind of conundrom. You think all the while he's been looking after you, there hasn't been a thing or two or you did that pissed off his nuts?

This should serve you both as a lesson.

Lastly, youre on the verge of becoming independent and you don't need distractions right now in the form of beefs to prove meaningless points. Come off your high horse.
