One of the bad eggs in his team must have shot him from the back . Am so sure he was killed by one of his colleague ... Going by his history, he must be a serious threat to boko boiz ... Na insider kill am no be boko haram.

You so sure without you leaving in front of your phone/computer?? Despite your submission being valid, because you're sure doesn't mean you're correct.

But take for example, you live in a neighbourhood filled with thieves and bad elements. Your house has no gate and is at a risk of visitation by those criminal elements, and you have small money to buy food at home. Will you only buy food to keep at home forgetting that when you buy the food, those criminal elements will come to our house to rob you and therefore prevent you from enjoying your small food?

Without security, you will soon be a goner.

@ onatisi,

I tire for our governments. From one government to the other, we are continually sinking.

Why there is a wide disparity between FG exchange rate and black market is as a result of government's invisible hold of its own exchange rate. They claim to have floated but that's not totally correct. What we have is a semi float.

U are looking at short term.. the high price of goods will draw in investors and this will creatw employment... And people will sooner than later begin to source raw materials here this will alao create employment

Let's say I'm looking at medium term and not short term. You and I know that long term can take like forever or never in Nigeria especially when another government gets into power.

My point is let's take considerable steps (medium term steps) as we work towards the long term.

Nigeria is not yet an ideal society where all things are equal/will be equal.

onatisi:
I disagree with you. If the naira is allowed to float freely,definitely it will reach a peak of about 700 ,then importation will be totally discouraged because ppl won't be able to buy imported goods,local production of agricultural produce will increase as that will be the only alternative ,dollars wont be scarce as it is now .without anyone manipulating it ,the demand for dollars will automatically drop since many importers will be forced to stop . There is no 2 ways to beat this problem but to start producing and you can never produce when you can get the same thing at a cheaper cost else where than ur own high cost ones.

I understand your point but you think its as easy as just increasing price without putting something in place? Importation isn't bad in it self but reliance on importation is what is bad, which is the position we find ourselves in.

In an ideal situation, your strategy is the way out but Nigeria's situation is not normal. The way you have painted it on paper is sweet but you and I know that putting it in reality is the difficult part.

We have just semi-floated a while ago (then we got into a recession. Although that's not the cause of the recession but you and I know it had an impact on it) we should wait for that to bring the desired and expected results and when that has happened we can then move on to the next stage.

Once again I agree with you but what I don't agree with you on is the timing. In my opinion, a free float should be carried out say in the next 18 - 24 months depending on how this semi float and the market responds (coupled with ending the recession, less dependency on importation as a result of us starting to produce many things).

mrvitalis:
Yes it is painful but i feel Buhari should allow the naira get her true value and allow market forces to determine price.. Cbn should stop selling dollars cheap... They should sale at the market price

I disagree. Nigeria is a peculiar country!!

If the CBN dare allow a true float, then Nigeria will be doomed and everything will grind to a halt in the short run. Is it now that we still don't produce anything and all we do is import or the speculators who have warehoused dollars waiting to further attack our Naira. Are you aware that Nigerians have almost $20b in their domiciliary accounts? With that amount to play around with, then the naira is going to be totally murdered. Or is it the price of fuel that will shoot so high? Or the terrific spike of inflation beyond levels we have never witnessed before?

In as much as your advise is truly the best way out but with how Nigeria is currently, it is going to be the worst way out. We should get out of recession first, start producing something in Nigeria for export, decrease dependence on the dollar then can we now allow the naira to float to heaven or to hell.

NurseEze1:
pls what's the official Age one will reach to start paying tax... am 26 and want to open patent medicine store but PSN said I should bring my tax clearance receipt...

There is no official age to start paying tax. I guess you're thinking its 18 and above but its not so. If you earn profit or income then you are liable to pay tax.

Take for example, If a 1 year old child whose parents bought a property and registered it in his/her name. If the parents sell the house and make a gain on it, it is expected that the child (since its the kid's name on the property) pays tax. Tax laws doesn't recognise minors. If you make profit, then you definitely must pay tax...

As for you, at 26 years old, haven't you worked with an organisation (either private or government) before now??

In a civilized country where they have good database of everyone, it won't take a minute to run biometrics and come up with his details but in Nigeria? Different story

Pidggin:
Only in Nigeria.

RIP

Maybe you seem to forget or you're not aware that this is Africa and not North America or Europe. Africa as we all know is a undeveloped/developing place. Even South Africa that you will say is ahead of Nigeria don't have the level of database obtainable in the two mentioned continents.

Its not a Nigerian matter, its an African thing.

CBN policies under this administration be like yoyo! Up and down! Side to side! East to West; North to South.

CBN policies have always been like that from time immemorial especially since 2005. I can give you good examples.

@ hippyseason,

Active participation on the platform may also mean that you actually registered on the site, enrolled for the courses and completed them.

I believe the only way they can measure our interaction on the comment page is if they key in our names one after the other and do a word search or go through the pages on after the other and pen down the names that commented (I know a software can do that but it makes no sense to actually go through that stress).

Hippyseason, please tell our tutors not to put spanner in a wheel of progress. Abeg o................ Lol

Sent you a mail @ Jethrolite

@ Jethrolite,

I promise you a token (I am serious). Thanks.
I tried sending you a mail from nairaland but nairaland says I have sent too many anonymous mails so I should therefore wait. Do locate the last mail I sent to you and extract my email there. Waiting for your mail.

hippyseason:
I hope you've been real active on the AMI platform though? Cause I suspect our participation and interaction on the platform will be huge deciding factors.

Jethrolite:
At first i was participating but for like the past 4 courses I stopped. I just found it cumbersome and unnecessary. That platform is not built for interaction.

As for me, I have never participated on their platform despite AMI saying our interaction on the platform will be a huge deciding factor. I find that impossible to implement.


Jethrolite, I want to ask for a favour, kindly help list out all the courses from the first to the last as in the order in which we took the courses. I want to save them in my digital library.

I hope the rehabilitation facility is not in "the other room?"

@globa & freeze001,

I agree with you that it is now a national matter although I'm not wrong by saying it is a family matter as the said incident happened between a man and wife. I repeat, I agree with your comments.

Everyone now has an opinion well which we must respect.

But each to his/her own. I know Aisha Buhari the one the comment was directed isn't complaining and can't complain because she knew what she was signing up for when she decided to marry a former General in the Nigeria Army (Nigerian military men that are dictorial and only understands go and not come), a far older man than herself, a man from the core north and lastly, a stubborn man as Pres. Buhari which we all know.

This case is a family matter between husband and wife and it should be treated as such. It's their cup of tea.
