Greed,this is where it lands you..

You want to have your money doubled by someone who has not chop this morning..

Tenant from Hell..

Vanguard must have irked him and this was a perfect opportunity for a payback..

amar3664:
I agree with you still, she should not have used those words

May be she shouldn't have..

But we all have different characters,

It might have been intended as a joke and nothing more..

Most husbands may not see it as a big deal but you obviously feels otherwise..

For all you have narrated,you have not specifically pointed at any character flaws of the said Suitor apart from him not being an Igbo or rich.

Your sister is a full grown adult and if you can't point out any other reason for not supporting her marriage apart from ethnic bias then it is unfortunate..

Like you said she's not getting any younger,she's found a man she loves and unnecessary interference from you based only on tribal bias is only going to worsen her relationship with you..

amar3664:
But surely they will get close to each other

Women,unlike men don't just up and have a fling with anything that's available..

If she is to have a relationship,

She would have given it a good thought before indulging in such..

That's why I asked whether there was a prior areason for you not to trust her?

Must we go to your site to see a picture...

Has your wife ever given you a reason not to trust her?

Surely her making a flippant remark to you about the servant is not enough reason for you to start suspecting her?

You know your wife more than anyone else and you are in the best position to know what she can or cannot do..

But basing your suspicion on an off hand remark,without prior grounds sounds Paranoid to me..

Damnnnnn

As a real niggarrr


I can say infinix is substandard dog shitt like oppo, Xiaomi, infinix, Tecno, itel and other dog crap

But i can't say bullshitt about Samsung, iPhone and Nokia
Huawei is manageable


Like i will always say to my real niggarrrs
If you want to buy a phone!
Abeg just save enough and try afford Samsung, Nokia or iPhone

But if you nor fit wait make your money mature
Then buy Huawei

Make una nor talk say i nor warn una
And please don't quote me if you are not into street and you don't multi task

If you rank OPPO and Xiaomi in the same category as Itel,

And you think anyone using Huawei is managing,while Nokia is Hot..

Then you know NOTHING about phones and should move on to what you know something about,

NO be must to comment..

b0rn2fuck:
that's why I said watch YouTube, even oyinbo chased car for two days causing many accident, Nigeria maybe worst but media make it seems like hell on earth

Even in Nigeria,

The Police chase Robbers and that is allowed being that they are Criminals and may have committed heinous crimes..

The Act setting up the FRSC does not allow them to chase traffic offenders for minor traffic infractions,

The most they are supposed to do is to take down the numbers of said Offenders or Radio the next check point to try and apprehend the Culprit..

The FRSC are not Police and they are not supposed to chase cars for any reason,.

Doing so is overstepping their duty,just like they do not have the right to seize your car particulars..

b0rn2fuck:
Jesus will help us , I think they have the right to chase as I have watched many criminal being chase at USA too but the roads here aren't helpful , they should have a way of linking the truck to others ahead and avoid unnecessarily cause of accident, tactically they lack sense

Which right do they have to chase a Traffic offender?

Since when has the Road Safety turn to Police that chase Criminals?

Common sense should have told them that its not worth the risk but the bribe they want to collect overrode their sense..

How can you call yourself a Road Safety Officer and engage in an activity that endangers the public?

It is better for the Naira to be undervalued than be too strong. A weaker currency reduces the demand for imports.

First and foremost, stating we import everything isn't true but the country can do much better.

What policies has the government put in place to bring in more forex? None. Nigeria by now should have foreign reserves of $80bn at the very least.

The smart money is on generating forex and not on conserving forex by buying made in Nigerian goods. Developed countries are massive importers of goods themselves. The only difference is that they are also massive exporters. That is where Nigeria falls short.

Trust me, there's nothing wrong in importing rice since we lack comparative advantage in its production. For us to produce rice, that simply means it will be dearer than the imported ones. This makes no sense.

Rather, government should put resources into commodities that Nigeria has comparative advantage in. Sheabutter if fully harnessed can bring in as much as $2bn yearly as reckoned by experts. Snails exports can yield up to a $1bn. Nigeria can become a big exporters of thousands of tons of honey. The forex generated from shea butter alone can take care of rice imports. Thailand exports $1.8bn worth of farmed shrimps yearly.

Since the country lacks comparative advantage in rice production, smuggling will continue to persist. The smugglers will simply device new ways to ship it in. If the price of rice remains dear, there could be fury on the streets.

As for cement, Nigerians were net losers. Cement in Nigeria is one of the most expensive in the world. There was a year that Dangote made sales of N248B and had after tax profits of 124.2Bn. That means if he slashed the price of cement by half, he would still make a net profit. Nigerians were shortchanged. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that that more construction will be carried out if price of cement crashed today. For every job that Dangote creates directly, probably as much as ten is lost in the construction industry. Many constructions projects were abandoned when the ban of cement was introduced. A Nairalander here said as much. He was angry and outraged.

If the only way a country can produce something is to ban it first, then such a country need helps.

IMPORT SUBSTITUTION is an economic policy and this is a classical case of it..

We may not be able to generate enough foreign exchange to pay for what we consume as a country because of our dependence on oil,

But that does not mean we can't substitute imported products for products we can produce at home and thus conserve scarce forex resources..

At the end of the day,the aim is the economic well being of the nation..

And

Even the best local rice is not more expensive than the some poor quality foreign rice,

And encouraging the production of rice will in long run crash the price..

It's just that people look down on local rice and if they must eat foreign rice,then they should be prepared to pay a premium..

I hope this is true... Because the lady they showed on Twitter as ovuleria seemed too old to be ovuleria.. Considering how still active Zebe is

Being hale and hearty is not really an absolute function of age..

One can be 50 and be unable to walk 3 meters,while another can be 80 and be running a Marathon..

You sound bitter and frustrated! If you are tired of living just do yourself something good for once in your life by killing yourself. I am not responsible for your woe in life you retarded moronic dingbat.

Mr Foreign Rice Chopper..

Worry about where your next cup of precious foreign rice is going to come from..

My life and its woes are non of your business.

DCmonster:
You sound more like an illiterate! It's either you are one or badly educated. This is a democratic country, so you have no moral right to tell the civil populace what to eat and what not to eat. We are not in a communist country! The money people spend to purchase the foreign rice, is it your money?

Am an Illiterate?

You sound like a F00l,

Is anybody stopping you from buying foreign rice in the market or is it not still in the market?

Have you seen any Government Agency arresting people that are selling foreign rice in the market?

If you have money go and buy foreign rice and stop bleating like a castrated Ram..

grandstar:
What do you mean by "wasting"? The reason why you export is to have money to pay for your imports. We don't use Venusian dollars because we don't trade with Venus. Neither do we hold Martian pounds as we don't trade with Mars.

The money isn't wasted. Importing rice helped to provide cheap food to the people and created lots of economic activity. I'm sure up to a million people were involved in rice either as importers, wholesalers and retailers. We are yet to include the bukas, cafeterias and restaurants selling rice.

There's nothing wasteful about spending money importing goods and services. What is wrong is when your currency is overvalued and therefore makes it cheaper to import than to buy locally made things. A strong currency creates artificial demand for foreign goods. As long as your currency isn't overvalued, you're good.

Economists say that if it is only one product you have comparative advantage in and you import the rest, that it is fine.

The Naira is undervalued and the reason it is so is because of our penchant for foreign goods..

We export crude oil,

Which if you are current,has been loosing its market value for the past 5 years..

When you are not earning enough money from your exports and you insist on importing EVERYTHING from outside,

Instead of trying to conserve your meager resources by focusing on local production of goods you can produce at home,

You are courting economic disaster,

Banning rice importation conserves resources while encouraging local incentives to produce rice..

This same scenario happened with cement importation,

Cement importation was banned and local production encouraged,

Today..

Nigeria is self sufficient in cement and also exports cement..

The primary cause of hunger isn't a lack of food but a lack of money. Poverty is the primary cause of hunger.

How can paying far more for rice help food security? Rice portions have reduced. People are hungrier than before.

How does wasting Billions of dollars of scarce foreign exchange on imported rice help to achieve food security?

Banning imported rice encourages local production and quality improvement on said commodity..

MisterChairman:
local rice is so bad and tasteless .. the annoying part is after cooking it will look short short

Buy quality local rice,not cheap Aboki Wheel barrow rice..

DCmonster:
Just look at that senseless hypocrite named @tenderbiggie with tender brain, he doesn't even live in Nigeria but want Nigerians to eat that shitty local rice without option of choosing between local and foreign. That show how hypocritical nigerians can be. I love fisayos response to him anyway. Anyone who doesn't eat rice or resides in Nigeria that supports ban on foreign rice so that the poor can continue to eat a very bad but expensive staple food will never see good in their lives.

Foreign rice should be banned till the end of time in this country so that our brains should reformat..

There are a lot of good Nigerian rice in the market and banning the commodity is the best thing Buhari has done since he came into power..

Rice is not the only foodstuff in the market and nobody is going to die if he does not eat foreign rice..

Wasting Billions of dollars every year on something we can easily produce with the right commitment is irresponsible..

Davido is a SUPERSTAR,he does not need the aid of two low life Hoes to trend..

It's an insult to his Status in the African Continent..
