They completed the marriage rites when her family members came around.

The mum and brother were late the church and not present as at when he asked who is giving her away.

If this were the case, the couple should have simply told the Pastor that the bride's family members were still on their way, instead of just keeping mute and acting as if the bride's family absconded from the wedding.

Now see the embarrassment this video may have caused them.

Only few people will get to hear this your angle of what happened.

Lol. He appeared calm in this interview

Quick question: What will happen if National PDP officials were present in both Shaibu and Obaseki factions primaries? Who is now the authentic candidate?

I understand that what I am about to explain will earn me insults from a selected few individuals because the same culprits are active here on Nairaland, so I am ready for that as well.

If you go to Binance P2P, there is a heavy manipulation going on there, and from my deductions, most of the big Binance P2P Merchants are united in carrying out this manipulation. Some of them even have over 2 Million dollars worth of USDT in their Binance P2P Funding which begs the question whether these people are truly Nigerians or probably foreigners making money from destroying the Nigerian economy.

Many people might not understand the strategy these merchants use, therefore, I will try to break it down.

This is how the manipulation works:

1. Lets assume that the Naira to Dollar is currently exchanging at the Parallel market for 1,500 Naira. On Binance P2P, the group of Merchants will create multiple fake ads claiming that they will buy your USDT for 1,700 Naira(way above the parallel market price). I call these ads "fake" because they will set a minimum limit above 5Million naira, which means if you want to sell your USDT to them at this exorbitant rate that they created, you must be selling a usdt value worth over 5Million Naira at once. This strategy works in filtering out majority of average Nigerians that want to sell their USDT to these Merchants. Meaning these fake ads will remain at the top of the p2p "sell" section for as long as these group of Merchants want it to remain. And if by chance someone who has enough USDT to meet the minimum limit decides to sell to these merchants, they will simply cancel the trade, and create another ad.

2. Now because these group of merchants have filled the P2P "sell" section with these fake ads claiming to buy your USDT at an exorbitant rate of 1,700 NGN, they have automatically shifted the P2P price of Naira to USD to 1,700 Naira, and now they will be selling their USDT to the public under the "buy" section above 1,700 Naira. Now - unlike the fake ads they created with a minimum limit that is above 5Million Naira to discourage sellers for selling to them at this high rate - when they are selling their USDT at this already manipulated price, you will find limit as low as 4,000 Naira because they want to sell to the Public at the exorbitant price they created.

Binance P2P is the new AbokiFx where BDC operators get their current price of Dollar from. The fake price originating from there is in turn used by the BDC operators to set their Dollar selling prices even without any corresponding demand. But the interesting part is that these BDC operators won't buy from you at any rate close to the exorbitant price they are selling the dollar to you.
Here in Benin city, even though the parallel market price of Naira is above 1,600 Naira, the Abokis hardly buy your dollar for above 1,500 Naira but they will sell to you only above 1,700 Naira.

Some people might argue that if Binance is to blame, how come the official exchange rate is now above 1,500NGN to 1 USD? The answer to that is simple. Each time the rate in the Parallel market moves up, the CBN is forced to also adjust official rates upwards in order to close the gap between both windows or else the black market rate will be too wide that it will create an irresistible opportunity for round-tripping.

There is a huge rot in the entire BDC system in Nigeria that I don't think this CBN governor has any idea how deep it really goes.

In as much as there are a lot of Nigerians trading on Binance, the volume of trade is very low.

It is not the few millions being traded or "manipulated" on Binance that is crashing our Naira.

Other countries trade on Binance too. Do you hear such complaints from them.

Nigeria's problem remains clueless, greedy and selfish leadership. It's been on for so long. Unfortunately, the bubble just burst.

I like your analysis Sir, but I'm sorry, you're wrong this time.

Laurene:
check American protests since 2016.

Lol. America is something else

I agree with you here

immortalcrown:
I wanted to say the damage is not even up to ₦500 million. But I remember Naira keeps falling in value and the school management will likely eat through padding of expenses.

But I will still say it. What does the school have for the damage to worth ₦2b? Did the students destroy the entire school property and empty the school bank account?

And guess what! Students will pay the money or government allocation will be diverted.

When people protest abroad, they do it peacefully and don't go about damaging public property.

I support the cost of repairs be calculated and shared among the students in their school fees or through whatever means

Unfortunately the innocent students will suffer along with the actual people who destroyed the institution's properties

Harriddon:
what I understand is the bill of professional fee and departmental and faculty dues is it yearly now

Faculty and Department dues are paid annually.

I don't know about the other items on the list

brain54:
This isn't true...

I didn't watch the video... But going by the headline.

False and disrespectful.

They are top management level civil servants who have worked hard and honestly for years (some upwards of 25 - 30 years) and have been able acquire modest property and send their wards to be educated in other parts of the world. Not because the money they have is in abundance but some go as far as acquiring loans.

You can't tell me a top level manager at NNPC for instance must steal before acquiring property or sending his kids to study abroad. Especially if he has worked and saved deligently for a considerable period of time.

This statement is quite a disrespect and discouragement to honest and hardworking civil servants... Especially the young and up coming ones looking to make a career out of the civil service!

Lol

NNPC is not the type of civil service she's talking about.

How much is the legit salary of a Director in the civil service?

When will you need a data analyst Sir?

I've learnt Excel, SQL and PowerBI and I'm working on my portfolio project

Hello everyone, I am back.

Who missed me?

I'm sorry I've not posted in ages.


However, I've been working behind the scenes.

I'm just laughing at myself.


I will soon be explaining what I've been up to all this while.

I didn't get any email even though nairalandbis notifying you sent a mail

Reply the Nairaland mail. It will get to my email

Day 3: Sunday, 23rd April 2023

Time Spent: 5 Hours 30 minutes

I watched a 4-hour YouTube video by Ahmed Oyelowo. That's an introduction to Microsoft Excel.

I subsequently watched another video by freecodecamp, for 1 hour 30 minutes. I've forgotten the name of the instructor. He had a list of Excel projects and built them from scratch. This one was a bit fast-paced and I was lost at some point. I stopped 30 minutes to the end of the video. I will still complete it and probably rewatch to understand it better.

Okay.

Day 2: Saturday, 22nd April 2023.

Time spent: 4 Hours

I had a very busy day and had to struggle to learn something.

I still continued with my Statistics video.

Video now remaining 15 minutes to the end.

I will have to complete the Statistics video and get into Excel.

I still have 12 more hours for my Statistics before 30th April. I would probably rewatch the video and look for some statistics problems to solve.

Why I posted yesterday's update today is that I was still up as at 11pm yesterday watching the Stats video.

Hello!!!
How is day one going?

Don't forget to update us on how it goes...

Update done...so far so good

Day 1: Friday, 21st April 2023

Time spent: 4 hours

I watched 4 hours out of an 8hr 15 minutes video on Statistics. I just watched. I didn't jot. My aim is to watch the video again later on and then jot.

I will post the link to the video later on. I got it from YouTube.

I have some Epidemiology/Biostatistics background, so the video wasn't too difficult for me to follow. However, I still learnt some concepts better. The instructor was also very good.

Total Number of Hours Spent so far = 4 HOURS (out of 600 hours)
