Is obi the reason why garri is now 3500?

You should be happy Garri is now 3500, at least those farmers can now get something close to the fruits of their labour... We have been buying chem too cheap before now

helinues:
Money sent from my account to my crypto vendor? How would the government know the purpose of sending the money when it's not that my vendor would credit my bank account with crypto currency

See, that was the LIE that was used to lure many people to crypto. Everything you do on a public blockchain is recorded and can be tracked.
You sent money to a crypto vendor.....that already gave you out because you sent money to a crypto vendor who is known to the government. Have you not heard government is making crypto exchanges share data with them?

helinues:
If I send money to my e currency vendors through my bank without leaving any memo that's related to crypto, how would the government know about that crypto transaction?

Have you forgotten it's on a blockchain, they can know

Jagabanbattle:
I have been supporting this government decision on fighting those who launder money through cryptocurrencies but this latest move is a total error.

Do you even know what you are saying?
You support the move so where is the error?
Those nano banks are a breeding ground for money laundering, terrorism financing and drug trafficking and they need be regulated.

Even the fintechs and Crypto exchanges are cooperating with governments but surely what they are doing won't go down well with folks with criminal intent that wants to take advantage of them

DeLaRue:
Why can’t the government simply ban cryptocurrencies in Nigeria.

Make it illegal and a strict liability offence for banks and other financial institutions.

That will be the most foolish thing to do

Are you averse to change, then you are in for a shock because cryptocurrency has come to stay.
It won't be normal for the internet with all the growth and technology it brings not to have it own native currency,thats what cryptocurrencies have come to do.
The only thing is that the cryptocurrency community prides themselves as being able to avoid regulation, that's where there needs to be proper guidelines as any unregulated space is a recipe for disaster

Jagabanbattle:
Dear OPay,

After your threat to share your users details to security due to trading cryptocurrency, I have decided to delete my account and details with you.

The purpose of banking is to do transactions. There’s difference between legal transactions and money laundering. I’m not converting Naira to cryptocurrency, I only get payment for converting my cryptocurrency to Naira. How does this affect the naira and how does this equate to money laundering? You can give answers to these questions to convince those who still chose to be with you.

Cryptocurrency is not crime and not use by criminals only. If I get paid for my services in Cryptocurrency, then I must not change it to Naira using your bank? That shows you don’t have my market. I’m waiting for this useless statement from Moniepoint before I deactivate my Moniepoint account too.

You don’t cut off a head because you have headache. Since you can’t differentiate between those laundering Naira to crypto and those changing their coin to Naira, your downfall and all other Nigeria banks downfall is near. Remember people make payment for cryptocurrency in CASH. Bye

If all you wrote is true then you have nothing to worry about as you can use regular banks to still do the same thing.....
You need to know that Crypto currency still largely facilitates money laundering, terrorism financing and drug trade and it needs be tackled for even the safety of crypto users or people who wants to hold it as assets.
Do you know the cryptocurrency was first introduced and used on the dark web and for purchases of banned items and pay for services that are illegal?...thats why governments are not too keen on its universal application.
The LIE that's crypto currency will do away with regulatory bodies is now seen not to be true as regulators can still track transactions on block chains and can force crypto exchanges to share information willingly as can be seen with the case of binance.

Bro abeg which legit hustle want to pay you only in crypto?....

Legit hustles can't say it's only crypto they will use to pay you,there will be options

Nairaland is a reflection of real world.

—Go on Twitter, it is tribalism all day.
—Go on Facebook, it is same tribalism
—Even on TikTok, Gen Z kids are catching on the wave too.

Nigeria tribalism is now on steroids, there is nothing Seun can do at this stage. People will still find a way around it and continue either ways.

Mehink its time we rethink the meaning words like
Tribalism
Patriotism
Racism
And even difference between words like Zionism vs Judaism as the debate on the global scale seems to take.
It's not wrong to take a step back from things that are clearly not working as intended.
All over Europe , theres anti immigration wave....but then there was a time globalization was a government policy all over Europe(many even claim it's human right), having realized that unchecked immigration is bad for them they are now against it.
I believe theres nothing wrong with one loving ones tribe.....if that's tribalism so be it because it's Foolish to love another tribe more than yours . In Europe , an Englishman can rule France now, he won't even dare contest but in Nigeria it's tribalism if a yorubaman decides not to vote an igboman.

Change is the only thing constant in this life

promisechris63:
I remember when I joined Nairaland.com in 2014 it was a rich platform for idea sharing and proper constructive critism devoid of ethnic slurs.. I'm Igbo it was a Good Yourba friend of Mine that introduced me to the platform. Now I can read a news here or comment people like Yarimo, Freestuffs, Helinuse and co without having bad intentions towards people.
Time has come for the mods and Seun to detox this platform and bring back the Nairaland.com we once enjoyed.

Nairaland still remains largely the same if you avoid politics section or politics news.

Seun has no one to blame for himself.....he was looking for the validation of igbos on Twitter and left nairaland to rot, thank God he realized his foolishness soon enough to run away from Twitter and concentrate on nairaland and improvements have been seen since then.

Hope he learnt his lessons

BigCowHornn:
Furthermore, you see that particular part of Lagos? 90% of real business is done in dollars I had to pay dollars for my house and it is not too far from that Landmark beach.

Who dash monkey banana

Pictures of the house or idontbelieve it

No go look for stock photos for Google come post o......we go check am with Google image


You get dollars to buy house for lekki na im you dey engage in childish banters on nairaland? You must really think everyone is daft like you

Oh I get it....na Zimbabwe dollars you mean, you will need trillions of it to get even a shack at alakuko

hybrid77:
Its funny when you r not on the receiving end.

Yeah..very funny.

I hope all those affected find a way to relocate or readjust to enable them meet their personal or business financial obligations

If them relocate, go get government land without approval, or believe you wise corner land wey no be your own ,na still demolition .
Whether at home or abroad, Nigerians should learn to follow the rules. The landmark chairman said he knew of the coastal road but hoped the route will be changed......shey na him get lagos ni?
He wanted the route changed so other people's businesses will go down and his own will be saved? Selfish man

Xiaohei:
Niger is already entangled in the war of superiority between The United States and Russia. Soon, the Chinese may ask for a military base in Niger. Africans never learn that nobody truly cares about them.

Along with France, Italy and an EU forces they are all looking for one thing which is the future of energy and which Niger has in abundance ..... URANIUM
But they are all pretending to be helping train Niger forces and Fighting terrorism.

misreal:
Israel is not a saint,but Hamas are way more devilish than Israel...
Every normal person will not side Hamas even after seeing this.

Na normal people dey side with Israel?

Abegi

If you were a Palestinian like Yahya Sinwar born in a refugee camp and has known war all your lives , war from a nation created , financed , industrialized , supported and still being supported by world powers in Europe and America .... Living a meaningless existence because Europeans and Americans don't want to have the Jewish problem in their doorsteps..... Then wrapping a gun around your child and teaching them how to kill Jews will seem like a noble thing

Righteousness2:


ISRAEL took off the palestines because investigation revealed many of them were involved directly and indirectly in the oct 7 massacre.

Israel falsely believed giving a few hundred men chance to earn a living in Israeli farms and asking US to pressure arab nations to normalize relations with jordan Egypt etc then the world will forget its apatheid in Palestine and see its blockading 2 million people by land air and sea as a child's play until October 7 happened and the whole IDF set up was demystified

Neopol:
Whether you like it or not Ojukwu The Man had a Rolls Royce. Infact Emeka Ojukwu his son drove a Roll Royce in college. Verified by even his prof who he gave a ride in it.

How many men do you know even whites at the time owned such a superior car not to talk about sending his child to a prestigious school and giving him such a superior expensive car.

So let it choke you all. The man was richer than any hydraulic soup guzzler alive in his time

Name of school and professor.

Just ranting when theres enough video and pictures to prove that indeed it wasn't Ojukwu fathers rolls that was used to ferry the queen. Yes no doubt Sir louis was rich and owned a rolls but that didn't make him the richest Nigeiran , the richest igbos yea but not the richest Nigerian.
It's difficult sometimes to swallow the truth as it hurts deviate from all you've known....but it's better knowing the truth that holding in stubbornly to lies

metaluterus:
They will give him soft landing


why is no one taking about these loan apps and what they post about customers?

Nobody send them again. People have come to realise it's only the fake loan apps and loan sharks that post rubbish about people owning them and it's because they are illegal.
They too know the risks that's why they go harsh on people to recover whatever they can and count their loss for the rest
Any loan app or company worth it's salt know what to do incase of default.

Ningishzida:
If the bolded part were to be true, how come Russia with all of its huge landmass of 'ungoverned space' is not being taken over by these Islamic terrorists?

Are you sure Russia's huge landmass is ungoverned?
They involve in lots of research so don't be surprised those large empty spaces are closely guarded

Praxis758:
Should we say the bid landmass of some West African countries is a curse to them?

Niger

Mail

Burkina Faso

Mauritania

The big empty dessert land of these countries provided shelter for ISIS. Anywhere there is ungoverned spaces , non state actors take over. The insecurities in the north is mainly because there are so many ungoverned spaces in forest reserves all over the north....Nigeria boast over 400 forest reserves mostly ungoverned and breeding ground for all kinds of criminality

obedience4:
All countries are not on the same level as others
As long as the Jewish state has the backing of the USA and it's European allies she will be safe.

It will end one day because it's clearly terrorism.
Europeans and Americans don't want the Jews flooding Europe again and putting them in a difficult situation so they will do everything to ensure the vast majority of Jews remain in Israel......
But then whoever thought Ottomans will rule for 500 years until it happened... So definitely one day they western hegemony will collapse mostly from internal wranglings and mainly because their time is up.....nobody rules forever except the Almighty God

10billionDollar:
Provided Nicaraguans are genuinely happy and fine, even if they make national laws on their matrimonial bed.
African's problem started from trying to practice democracy.

That's it
For them to bring him back in 2017 shows they are still favourable to his rule.
Just like Brazil bringing LULA back after almost 20 years out of power .

OPICANTO2223:
Look at this inguinal hypocrite. I have confronted lots of your moderate hypocrites people and they were very truthful. Even the prominent state with highest hypocrisy was mentioned.

Why not accept your lineage inheritance and simply tell if it can also be acquired from witchcraft

Keep going round and round on useless statements like a rabid dog
Igbos hypocrisy was there for all to see and remember
Una too MUMU
Still carrying on with the LIES you told yourselves and still pretending people haven't found you out.
Continue displaying your stupidity all over the internet.
You still don't get it, we plenty pass una
Still have economic power to defeat you In whatever endeavor, you can only make noise but see that political power you will have to work for it..... So the earlier you people get this the better and stop the foolish believe that social media noise translates electoral victory.....2023 showed you it isn't...... If you have learnt your lessons? 2027 will determine.

I know you will foolishly ask if political power has taken away hunger..... But then if political power isn't important why were the whole igbos nation blackmailing us to allow Ekuke into Aso rock even when clearly not competent enough for the job

OPICANTO2223:
Another hypocritical move. See the way he cunningly try to chameleonic it to Obi. Answer my question, is the hypocrisy from witchcraft, inborn or acquired from environment?

I'm simply doing what most Igbos are doing today
Pretend as if you are not a hypocrite so that you can call others hypocrites.
We saw you well enough during elections, we know how you think and it's not in a rational way.
That's why you keep lying to yourself that you were not supporting Obi because he was igbo but because he was competent
But at the same time fighting and blackmailing people who wanted to vote PBAT not because he was a Yorubaman but because he is competent
Your hypocrisy stinks

BigIyanga:
You guys pull some bs from thin air to make sense. Dems in the US offer transparent and competitive bidding in govt contract. Only Republican.. Bush and Chenney offered no-bid contract to Halliburton to provide logistics to US military in Iraq because.. Dick Cheney was their CEO.

This project is touted as PPP… yet govt is paying contractors and some affected peoplle. Govt is also going guarantee the loan??

You need to get a copy of the document and educate yourself

Alexiiydon:
make una understand Russia if them won annex Ukraine he no go long like this the reason is just that Ukraine can’t join NATO make them come put nuclear weapon for Russia backyard

I understand that perfectly well and is with Russia on this
USA didn't allow Russia when it wanted to have a base in Cuba..... Cuba is still paying for that even today after over 50 years

Validated:
Noone is complaining about coastal road that would be abandoned halfway. People are complaining about the coastal road, but the humongous cost Tinubu and his cronies have earmarked without necessary approvals and competitive bidding.

The model to be used is not PPP but EPC+F and this model don't need competitive bidding and all approvals are being procured.
Most of you people don't really know PBAT and his team, they fancy themselves as Democrats in America , they believe that the way out of this economic situation is by spending and spending money on Big capital projects and social services.....its working for the democrats in America....if given chance it will work here too.

MsAllison:
lol
I keep laughing when people keeps quoting court here and there.
which court ?
the same court/judiciary Tinubu destroyed in his quest for power ?
This is what you get when a single man's ambition becomes bigger than the constitution of over 200 million people.
As far any sane individual is concern, the judiciary died the moment Tinubu was sworn in and the moment he won at both tribunal and SC.
The law and the constitution was butchered on the alter of selfish Ambitions.
So don't expect EFCC boss who happens to know that Bello has what it takes to purchase injunctions or judgment that will restrict him from prosecution to keep quiet and watch him go free with the same method his oga used to purchase judgments that made him president.
these guys knows themselves and he knew that media trial is the only way to get to Bello.

So spare me the epistle and stop quoting the cash and carry law and judiciary next time.

The same Judiciary affirmed Otti as governor, does that mean they were wrong even on Otti?

What you are doing is called Hypocrisy

The judges are not father Christmas they won't give you what you didn't ask for. When next you go to court,be sure of why you were there not because the headless mob keeps telling you you won (on social media yes ) and you fell for the LIES only for you to pay more money to Lawyers than in actually pursuing the election itself

hotwax:
After ,3 years the so called superpower Russia still can't conquer Ukraine.

They are now showcasing enemy weapons like boko haram showcasing Nigeria military hilux pickups...

Very desperate of russia

Russia was fighting USA and NATO for three years and you know it

If you disagree doesn't mean it's not true, you are just being dishonest with yourself

Cindypresh:
What is all this? Tinubu had foresight for the lekki sea port yet didn't even pay a block for it through out his 8 wasted years and you're giving him praises?? Voluntary slave things

Have you seen #tinubulagosschoolseries that trended on twitter?? What's the benefit of the igr?

You think Lagos is all about the island? Have you been to mushin? Ikorodu? Have you heard makoko

Stop deceiving yourself oo

So in your mind , every part of Lagos will be like VI, na WA for this kind of reasoning.
Is everywhere in London like Mayfair?
Stop disgracing yourself all over the internet, theres CLASS in every society
Isn't the igbos society still heavily caste based?....you people still regard some of your people as slaves so stop making it look like you have an equal and just society

Yeye

alizma:
Is this a way to display how shameless Putin is or what? Please what is the difference between Russia buying hardware from other countries to fight Ukraine and Ukraine getting hardware from US to fight Russia? We have seen videos and pictures of Russian hardwares that were destroyed or seized by Ukrainians now it gets to Russians turn and Putin has to get the hardwares to the city centre and call the citizens to come and celebrate.
Well if Putin is celebrating seized hardwares in the middle of war, that shows how tough Ukrainian soldiers have proven themselves before Russia soldiers.
Kudos to the Ukrainian soldiers who have made it a thing of celebration for a nation like Russia each time a tank is seize in a war front. Probably we should expect a public holiday when a fighter jet is captured.

I hope you will be happy when Russia finally annex Ukraine
After three years , you are still deceiving Zelensky he can win the war when even you know that to be far from the truth ......I blame the comedian that couldn't differentiate between comedy and real life situation

GanagiBitrus:
Insults aside, what exactly is the rationale for this hugely expensive Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road, when we already have a poorly maintained/uncompleted road network linking Lagos-Benin-Warri-PortHarcourt-Calabar.

It's a shame that the major road project in the Niger delta is still uncompleted even as successive MD s of NDDC are all from the Niger delta, they should hide their faces in shame

Zonefree:
I'm bothered why a sane human would buy a dead monkey for 20k.

For consumption now, heard there's a celebrity chef in Abj that sell catfish for 5 millions.

Abeg I'm curious, do you eat your meat while they are alive?
Cos I don't know why you're wondering why a sane person will buy a dead monkey to eat

OPICANTO2223:
Honestly you guys eeehhn. It the hypocrisy inborn or acquired from the environment?

Still ask Obi, he has answers for you

Built2last:
The truth is if Tinubu has major investment in that area. No one will think of demolishing it

Una don dey change mouth again, Doesn't he own Lagos again
You have been telling us he has Lagos in his pocket , which investment again can be more major than Lagos state

Yeye
