80k back then is now with 8m... Wow!!!
Was the money in Bitcoin or what?

They are deliberating on the new lies to dish out hot to gullible Nigerians

I wish she had enough people around to support her..

The money these illicit drug dealers make is so much, that they don't mind spending few months in jail and delving straight back into it after their release...

We all should bear the brunt one way or the other... I have had to call more thereby spending more, as so many of my people can not call out.

Parachoko:
If Naira is left to float, it will be disastrous for the economy.

But how long do we want to keep pegging...? I think it is a way of we shying from the reality

So, she felt bored since she moved in from her previous base. She got not friends around and was always home. Friends has a tasking job.
So, he asked me to call her sometimes when I am free. I call and we have healthy conversations for hours. I am very cautious of any emotional strings. I spell it out to her in clever ways during the conversations.

However, it is becoming addictive. She obliges to certain things only when I ask her to even after declining her husband's suggestions. My friend is so soft and can't seem to handle a tough and educated lady like her.
So, she compares me to him few times and wants him to be like me in terms of being conversational and humurous. Her man isn't willing to change.

So, I am distancing myself away from her because it is becoming an addiction for her to express herself freely with me and spend more time with me rather than my friend. I step in each time they quarrel.

Should I continue the healthy conversation spree or continue with my busy shedule excuses?

If you truly like your friend... Withdraw every form of unnecessary communication with his wife!!!
You give her too much attention and that will endear you to her heart... Stop it rightaway

Despite the Naria’s continued fall, certain emerging market’s (EM) currencies have outperformed the US dollar in recent times, even as global concerns have risen.

For nearly 49 years, the Nigerian currency has been steadily declining. Although Naira’s freefall of last year appears to have ended, a look back in time reveals that we should be cautious.

Since 1973, the Nigerian currency has declined by 10.6% per year, according to data assessed by the International Monetary Fund. This was shown in the study “Nigeria: Selected Issues Paper.”


However, it seems like the trend isn’t going away the Naira fell by N23 in the first quarter of 2022. Nonetheless, other emerging economies have gained against tough odds gained massively against the Naira.

South African rand
The South African rand strengthened to its strongest level in five months as rate rise prospects intensified. The USD/ZAR pair is currently trading at 14.39, which is more than 7% lower than its peak this month. The same pattern was observed in other currency pairs such as EUR/ZAR and GBP/ZAR.
At the time of writing, the USD/ZAR pair had fallen by more than 8.14 percent, making it one of the world’s top currencies. The hawkish South African Reserve Bank (SARB), which has gotten more hawkish, has aided this performance.
At the same time, the country’s economy has profited from increased demand for its major commodities, such as gold, platinum, and palladium.
The USD/ZAR pair has plummeted below the 50% Fibonacci retracement level as well as the 25-day and 50-day moving averages. As a result, the pair is likely to continue sliding in the coming days.
Brazilian real
The Brazilian real has likewise been steadily rising in recent months. At the time of writing, the USD/BRL pair had fallen to a low of 4.6570, its lowest level since March 16th, 2020.
It has decreased by approximately 20% since its peak in 2021. As a result, the real is one of the top EM currencies. Year to date (YTD), the Brazilian real increased by 16.25 percent against the US dollar.
The real has benefited from the central bank’s extremely hawkish stance, which has raised interest rates many times in an effort to combat inflation.
At the same time, like South Africa, the country has benefited from the ongoing commodity prices. Brazil’s top commodities like soybeans, iron ore, oil, and sugar have all risen sharply as the crisis in Ukraine has continued.
The USD/BRL pair formed a triple-top pattern on the weekly chart. It also managed to move below the important support level at 4.89, which was the lowest level on June 2021. Therefore, there is a likelihood that it will keep falling in the near term.
Russian ruble
Despite the ongoing Ukrainian turmoil, the Russian ruble is another emerging market currency to consider buying. The USD/RUB has fallen to 84, which is around 30% below its all-time high.
At the time of writing, the Russian ruble was trading at 85 rubles per dollar, representing a 22.35% gain against the US dollar.
This performance has occurred as a result of the Russian government’s and the central bank’s actions.
In reaction to the escalating number of sanctions, the Russian government has declared that it will only accept rubles in exchange for gas and other supplies.
In addition, the central bank has hiked interest rates and implemented measures to discourage capital outflows. As a result, there is a chance that the USD/RUB will continue to decrease.

The pegging of dollar by CBN is not healthy for our currency at the long run. Naira should be left to float according to demand and supply

LegitGirl:
Straight to the point.

I'm starting to feel like I give out too much of my money.

I get money, and I give a bigger percentage of it out, either as tithe, or to sort out one family problem or the other.

I feel like I give more than I keep.

I saved some amount of money last year, and I wiped my account clean... gave everything out.

I tithe everything I earn... even bonuses and commission.

I make financial vows... give towards church projects.

So I think I've generally experienced favour in life, but then again, I've given more than I've kept.

Is this a psychological problem of some sort?

Well, I can't advise you against giving cos it is divine. As you are giving, just ensure you are also investing. That is all i can say

Moz22:
Greetings y'all, I'm sorry I had to bother you all with my family issues and all.. but seriously I feel so ashamed discussing about this in public, that's why I'm always here.

Just about two weeks ago, I made a thread about this https://www.nairaland.com/7044182/out-rage-hit-mum-yesterday and afterwards, I made steps to reconcile with her which she blatantly refused to accept my apologies despite bringing an elderly family friend along to beg on my behalf. I had cleared my conscience from that moment onward and promised not to go back there anytime soon for my own sanity. I really do not know if it's coincidental that things got so bad for me afterwards that most gigs I do most times dried up (I'm a musician).. I really do not want to think in that direction.

I bumped into my dad on Sunday evening and he said he's been wanting to see me but he's been very busy.. so we went to a spot to talk. He told me an argument ensued btw him and his wife which was normal as far as I'm concerned but what shocked him was that my mom hit him so hard on chest while they argued. I was so mad upon hearing this and was mad at him for not telling me about this earlier. He was panting so hard after being hit that he had to go get ice block to calm himself and visited the nurse for treatments the next day. He went further to say that he's mentally, emotionally, physically disconnected with her from that moment onward. But fear of what people would say is what's stopping him from abandoning his family. He's tired! It's so hard to still call her my mom after all of this.. Omo this life just no balance at all. Oti é ti sunmi bayi.

she is still your mum... We do not get to choose who are parents are.
Glad you made frantic efforts to apologize to her. Just try to avoid her for now as you are doing and constantly keep in touch with your dad. May God help you

It is really well with you Mr. Will Smith ...
I think they now use kayanmata abroad

If only she will consider her son in all this mess... Internet never forgets

Honlucas:
hello guys pls help, i'm relocating from delta to lag i want someone to link me up with any 2br in Ajah or Vi my buget is 3 mili
i want d place to be having at least 20hours light.

if you have in higher price still comment

For now, no where on the island has up to 20hours of electricity... Except you want to move to Ikoyi. 3 million may not be enough for that.
Your best bet is to move to a serviced apartment where your rent will be about the 3m and you pay between 1m to 1.5m as service charge. With that, you are guaranteed of 24hrs electricity.

This is Nigeria... If they had not been deducting sms charges since 2020, how is that the customers fault?

Shuzzi:
Going by your logic it should have been two holes

you are right... But, he's been nominated 4 times and only won once

This is Nigeria!!!

Fineman87:
I sent my aunty a LG smartphone, that was delivered up to Nigeria, she never received it. I ignored. But alas, the situation is worse than I thought.

Few days ago, a guy cried on Twitter how his iPhone got lost at NIPOST. He only saw empty box. The phone sent from US acutally arrived Nigeria intact, but at NIPOST, it was gone.

Another person commented on how his laptop disappeared from NIPOST, he also only got the box. The laptop sent from abroad was gone.

And there were many such stories of empty boxes. And I shuddered.

And funnily, someone commented that his uncle works at NIPOST and everyday he returns with expensive wristwatches, phones, laptops, tablets, etc that his salary can never afford. And they have told their uncle to stop but he refused, saying it's just a normal day at work. .... haaa, a normal thieving workplace.
Shame on Nigeria, we are our own problem.

How can I spend $1010 on a phone and it gets stolen by the postal service employees. Why??.

Who are the bosses at NIPOST?
Who are the Directors of a thieving agency??
Who is the supervising minister??

### save Nigeria from global mockery ###

We are a shameless nation. A nation whose citizens are bereft of values. A laughing stock around the world.

Someone please save the World from NIPOST.

NIPOST staff are corporate thieves... I learnt that lesson a very long time ago. DHL or nothing

I am not a fan of death sentencebut thinking of it... I think it is a good judgement.

henroo2003:
Good morning my Wonderful Nairalande,

I need serious help and advise. My friend's younger brother stands as guarantor for his friend to get a car for uber. For like three weeks now, the guy hasn't been seen together with the car. Now my friend's brother has been arrested because he stood for his friend. He has been transferred to Fsars Port Harcourt.

The police is extorting them seriously... Pls my friend needs help .
Pls oooo

You can reach me on
henroo2003@yahoo.com

Get a lawyer and take the case to court yourself ASAP... That will guarantee your ability to bail him with sureties but he will still have to either provide his friend, or give a repayment plan to pay for the car.

Rastaramsey:
Religious leaders should influence their members to vote the right leader....

and who is the right leader my brother?

The Richest man from the eastern region...

I kinda believe religious leaders should not influence the choice of their congregation on whom to vote or not to... It is a choice everyone should be free to make.

Classickj:
