One of the best outcomes.

Imagine losing your virginity, your health, your destiny or and your head because of one hour of 'enjoyment'.

Happy Valentine to those who keep their dignity intact (not because the 'opportunity' did not present itself o).

Whether opportunity been present itself or not, all virgin na virgin.

Mumu! Rather than think on how to leverage the above information, you are insulting Tinubu. The problem with many of you is that you are MENTALLY LAZY. Challenges presents opportunities. But no for people like you. All you do all day is to abuse Tinubu who don't even know you exist.

And that is why Nigeria is the way it is.
Rather than seek for probity and accountability, someone finds a way to get rich by leveraging on the misfortune of the nation.

Someone somewhere is benefiting from the darkness in Nigeria; a politician somewhere is benefiting from our non-functional refineries.
Another benefits from abandoned projects and so on.

When you scale up your mindset to cover that of governors, senators, judges and the president, you find out why this country keeps going backwards.

It takes someone with a strong mind to break that status quo; to refuse the profits he'll get at the expense of the nation, to pull us out of this mess and get the nation going.

A mindset the average Nigerian lacks in totality.

WorldRichest:
Okay nah

These Developers are very funny. They complain and rant that some sections of the country get to position through quota system, now they are asking for quota to be employed. Go and prove your worth, federal character rubbish will not help you.

Did you read where it said there are qualified magistrates from unrepresented states working in the FCT while other states have three judges and planning to install extra?

This post was written in simple English.

OP you must sit down to find out things you're doing wrong.
If na like this, nobody go dey that business by now.

1. Do you drive around aimlessly looking for passengers?

2. Are you buying fuel from stations with 'corrected' meters?

3. What car are you using? Is it fuel efficient?

4. Is the pay you're receiving accurate?

DeLaRue:
During Buhari's government, Nigeria, through the CBN, was spending according to some estimates, more than $12billion per year to maintain 2 exchange rates N440, and I think N570 to a dollar.

That $12 billion dollars was effectively a subsidy.

By the time Buhari left, Nigeria had just about $3.5 billion in its account. It is from that amount that we have to pay our debts and pay for imports of goods.

As you can see, Nigeria no longer had the $12 billion dollars required to keep naira/dollar rate at less than N600. So the current government had no choice but to give up on trying to subsidise the naira.

If Atiku or any other candidate had won, they would have had no choice than to follow the same path.

It is like buying a BMW when you had money. If you no longer have money to maintain it, what do you do, you give it up. No be so?

Your friends and neighbours who see you taking Okada will call you stupid for giving up such a beautiful car. But, younno longer have know what they don't know - you no longer have the money to maintain the car.

This is exactly where Nigeria is at present.

If Peter Obi had floated the Naira, it would have had an opposite effect from Tinubu's.

Investors look at the records of the government in question before coming down for business.

With Tinubu's reputation as an international drug trafficker and his show of shame during the elections, only a foolish or foolhardy entity would come here to invest during his tenure.

People like Nuhu Ribadu, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Yemi Osinbajo, Dave Umahi and so on could comfortably float the Naira as presidents and experience economic boom.

Men like Tinubu, Uzodimma, Atiku, etc dare not try it.

yang:
To confirm 5 new failures

Dollar is headed for 7k naira per dollar

Again it's simple mathematics

The CBN doesn't produce Dollar and cannot target the supply of dollars, they should be reducing the supply of naira

To get the exchange rate correct they need to do two things

1) mop up naira liquidity,the 28% inflation rate is a pointer to what interest rate, CRR rate and what the FG bonds should be trading at. FGN is still issuing bonds at 7% while running at 28% inflation, an insult to peoples intelligence and a disgrace to send emails with such a fraud

2) stop printing naira under any guise, ways and means etc

This indirectly implies reducing FGN expenditure by over 80%

Stop impoverishing people

APC is an evil party and Thiefinibiu is a big thief ekperima

you are mixing emotion with simple economics.
Let me guess, you are anti Tinubu right?

My point is clear and simple, government needs to stabilize naira for inflation to drop.
Government also needs to increase people's purchasing power to lift people that are falling into poverty due to inflation out of poverty.

How they tend to do it is non of my business and why people elect them to be there in the first place.

Do you agree or disagree with these points? Point to what you agree with.

All these stories about government failures doesn't disprove any of points do they?

If you believe the government cannot do the points I raised, that's your problem and it has nothing to do with the points I raised.

You are turning economic principles upside down.

Government rather needs to curb inflation and encourage local production to increase people's purchasing power.

I pointed you to Zimbabwe where currency notes are minted in denominations of billions and trillions.
That is your idea of increasing purchasing power until the currency becomes useless.

Keep increasing minimum wage until the average worker now earns one million Naira per month.

Oga try think abeg.
This convo done tire me sef.

Got this 50gig around 9pm, I was like how can I finish it within three hours. I dash MTN back their liability. Me that was already feeling sleepy.

TermsAC:
Mostly debt.
Nigeria fx is being used to service debt because Nigerian crude that brings in most fx has been sold in advance and the money used to pay for either subsidy or defend naira or looted.

To stabilize naira, they need to make dangote refinery and every other refineries come online as soon as possible. Since petroleum products are the biggest drain on our fx.

There are three state-owned refineries in Nigeria gulping billions every year in the name of Turn around maintenance.
The same government that refuses to revamp and set them in production motion tells you that the hope lies in the functionality of a private refinery and you believe them?

Fall in currency is depreciation which ultimately leads to inflation.

Either you're ignorant of basic economics/fiscal policy or you're simply hiding your head in the sand.

TermsAC:
like I said, the current inflation is not caused by output but fall in the value of naira.

Once the naira stabilizes, the inflation will ho away.

Go and check the statistics of Nigeria's output in 2023 interms of export, it's biggest in the last 20 years.
That's why the economy is still growing at 1-3% despite the inflation.

And what do you call a fall in the value of any currency?

TermsAC:
There are 2 options to solve inflation,

1, increase people's purchasing power
2, control price.

Since government cannot control price in a capitalist economy, they are left with first option.

All they have to do is give people living wage and balance free falling naira. Once naira becomes stable, the inflation will stop, and people with living wage can buy stuff.

It's that simple.

When you increase purchasing power without a corresponding increase in production/productivity, you get inflation.

How exactly do you advise the government to increase purchasing power?
By dishing out excess Naira notes which is the same thing as printing excess Naira and pushing it into the system.

The result?

Since production of goods and services remain at the same level as they initially were, you will have too much cash pursuing limited goods.

Prices will simply go up to achieve economic equilibrium, that is inflation for you.

Before you know it, a loaf of bread will now be selling at ₦2, 500.

There were days when ₦3, 000 could buy a brand new car in Nigeria.

Today, it can barely scratch a market purchase.

In those days, there were no ₦1000, ₦500, ₦200 even ₦100 notes.

If government follows the idea you're suggesting, in a few years we might be minting ₦10, 000 notes.

Zimbabwe has notes of one million and 100 trillion.
That's a useless economy ravaged by hyperinflation.

Please go read up on inflation.
Its not too hard a concept to grasp.

oga enough with all dis yeye PO hype.... All of u are talking about lagos having massive revenue... What did Peter obi did with his own small revenue... He didn't build any schs, d present gov said all his so called investment are close to nothing.... Alot of workers went on strikes during his tenure, he owed a lot of salaries... Una go dey talk like say una no get memory.... Person wey no fit handle anambra no fit handle lagos... If u no fit handle lagos, then uno fit handle Nigeria

Beer parlour talk.

Anyone who has governed one state can govern another.

There are local government chairmen who can transform Nigeria in no time if voted into Aso Rock.

What then is the job of ministers, advisers, special advisers, senior special advisers and so on?

What is lacking is the willpower to do the right thing, as well as a clean sheet of history.

Otherwise, the president's veto power alone is enough to get things going in the right direction.

With a simple inaugural speech remark Bulaba removed fuel subsidy, sending shockwaves through our economy.

That's the power the GCFR has, and that's why sane Nigerians hate to see you tribalists and religious fanatics seek to push morons into that seat.

Just imagine that we nearly went to war with Niger over a matter that doesn't directly concern Nigeria.

TermsAC:
Okay.

But you didn't tell us what you sold to get the 1000 naira.

People talk about inflation as if it's some few people inflating the price of things and all government have to do fight them.

You have inflated your own market, so expect others to inflate their own market so that they can afford what you are selling. It is that simple.

You buy what you sell.

That's why not everyone can afford a brand new car when it was been sold at 400 naira in this same Nigeria. And not everyone could afford 8000 rice.

You that bought 1k milk and sugar probably sold 1painyt of garri at 1500 from the 800 you used to sell so you can afford the milk and sugar.

That's where balance comes in.

Inflation is not the problem falling naira value and balance of urice

The only thing government can do now is increase minimum wage so that everyone will have the purchasing power and balance things out and find a way to stabilize naira.

Increasing minimum wage will lead to inflation, further weakening the strength of the Naira.
That's basic economics.

Just like Emilokan advocating for the CBN to print more Naira to address economic issues.

We warned bigots on this forum against voting for braindead deadbeats who neither understand fiscal policy, basic economics nor have any regard for statistics.

Did they listen?

One year never run finish body done dey pepper everyone like this.

Come 2027, some people will still collect money to insult the truth and vote in another dunderhead to represent their tribe.

Shame of a nation.

Thanks OP.

As we dey wait patiently till marriage with other sane singles, may we not eventually end up with wolves in sheep's clothing.

Having seen outwardly pious singles and married folks trapped in the web of fornication and adultery, the only thing that gives me the heart to consider marriage is the fact that virgins still exist.

As for February 14th, I'm still gonna spend it like others before it, busy with work and ending the day with an intact account balance.

Happy Sunday to you.

Upon all the noise made during the last general elections, I still didn't see the iREV and the BVAS mentioned here.

By the way, when you speak of transferring votes electronically, you should spell out the destination of such a transmission.

Nigerian lawyers are too cunning.
Technicality naim full their head.

fergie001:
There is going to be a public hearing where some of these amendments can be discussed including others not captured for now.

It's a first step and very commendable, especially as it is coming less than one year into the 10th Assembly.

How many public hearings have you ever participated in?

I have written complex reporting applications with JavaScript and I've had a look at node.js in the past which did not take me time to understand. There is no need for me to master node.js unless I'm given a project at work that requires me to use and it will not take me time to master it and use it.

I have been in programming now for about 2 decades and I know what I'm saying that you need connections as a self-taught to get a programming job both front-end or backend.

How can you as a computer science graduate not have any interest in node.js?

Yet, a graduate of another discipline was disciplined enough to understudy it and you still feel you should have an edge over him?

It's here in Nigeria that paper qualifications are revered, reason a certain old man had to fight tooth and nail to forge one for Aso Rock.

The difference between you and OP is what remote employers exploit when hiring workers.

Its about who can actually do it, not who can present a certificate.

Max24:
Prove to me that all these negative stories are not coming from developers. While everybody are feeling the expected birthing pains of a reconfigured economy only developers are behaving like there is no hope for Nigeria just because their hero lost to Tinubu. Some of us can see light at the end of this short tunnel. It will surely end in praise for the Patriots and shame for the Saboteurs !

Nairaland's Darling Daddy crooner used this scope that year till eight years waka pass.

Shameless is still on Nairaland months after, doing what he knows best.

A president will one day emerge in Nigeria that has no need for a propaganda crew.

This filthy job of defending the horrendous and insulting the intelligence of sane Nigerians will one day come to an end.

This have I seen.

alpharoyalty:
She is probably ibo.

The average Igbo is a critical thinker with strong business sense.

Unless paid handsomely, no sane Igbo would have voted the druggie.

Igbo's top choices for the last elections would have been Osinbajo, Kwankwaso, Obi, Amaechi, Umahi, and Atiku; in that order.

Depending of course, on who was on the ballot of the two main political parties.

Watianoengineer:
Thank God we dodged a bullet by not voting Peter Obi. The current momentum of success being enjoyed by the super eagles is a testament that president Tinubu is a success to all Nigerians. Peter Obi's failure in governance is littered all around the tiny anambra state he governed

Eight years already wasted.
Eight more to go.

Shebi BMC go still employ your children?

malali:
I will like to hear Peter Obi make suggestions on how to improve the economy.

I want to be president at all cost......Is a scam.

Obi should be interviewed on measures that can improve the economy. Even if he is opposition, is he not Nigerian ??

All this picture and fanfare is getting old, election is over.

Tell us what the present government is doing that you dont agree with, Tell us what you would have done instead.

There is healthy opposition and there is constituting a nuisance to maintain relevance.

If Obi is smarter than Asiwaju, lets hear your economic policies that would improve the current situation, lets here your macro and micro fiscal policies.

We appreciate your opposition but Oga open mouth tell us economic strategies, Nigerians will not vote for someone without policies.

You have Contested twice as VP and President. Are you one of those that just wants to answer president or Vice president.
Where are the ideas,can you attract any foreign investors ? Can you proffer solutions to the insecurity ? Can you bring forth realistic, implementable suggestions that will appreciate the naira ??

Election is over, contribute to your country....show Nigerians you actually care....
Your dont have to have an elected office to contribute your own Quota......

You go wait tire.

You vote in a brain-dead great-grandfather as president then turn to pick the brains of those you despised to run the government?

E done dey clear for una eyes ba?

Next time, if you see any presidential aspirant that attracts hatred from the Igbo, you'll never campaign for him again.
Ojukwu contested for presidency and couldn't secure Igbo block votes. Business sense na your mate?

If druggie doesn't know what to do, let him step down for competent hands to manage the nation.

You can't be running the government with the brains of Peter Obi while paying salaries and vesting the powers of the GCFR on an amnesia patient.

Wake me up when you see any SE state protest because of hunger and hardship.

Shege never reach one year you done dey complain.
Chillax.
Eight years na the code.

Yes, these are larva sourced from waned raffia palm tree which later metamorphosed to a kind of beetle found mostly in fresh palm wine. The Igbo name for this type of beetle is 'Akpakiri'. The other kind of larva is sourced from withered oil palm tree which metamorphosed to rhino beetle that you referred, Igbos call it 'Otugbu'. However, both are edible and nutritious.

You should be teaching Omenaala in a community secondary School.

Yes I can.... As long as the food in question consist of 90% flesh and it’s very chewy, I’ll eat it.

It is HUMAN FLESH, not Human Meat.

There is nothing like human meat.

Jammy2012:
When you are not a sex machine or Love Machine Sex is stressful and women enjoy every bit of it. Men only enjoy when they cum and they come to their senses. We have a lot to lose. We must stay focused brother

My concept of sex in marriage is having my woman climb on top and take care of herself.

With a robust and prolonged pre-intimacy, she'll be soaking wet and ready in no time and wouldn't take a lifetime to climax.

A man doesn't need special circumstances to reach climax.
It is the determination to make the woman cum that stresses the man out. And if her climax time is reduced, his work is reduced.

By the way, where there is chemistry, passion/affection and knowledge of erogenous zones and hormone triggers, sex could be satisfying without stressing anyone out.

Also, when a woman is fully ready, mere sucking her nipples can make her climax.
It doesn't have to be a wrestling match or a marathon race; it can be extremely slow yet every stroke evokes a grimace or partial blindness for her.

If you don't want to die young, avoid that situation where you need to anoint your dipstick with lubricant and go banging away like a rabbit on top of a woman who keeps chewing gum, operating her phone or talking coherently while you're at it.

There's no fusion there.

Business names should be concise and easy to remember.

Respectmart is a mouthful.

Consider shortening it to Restmart, Remart, R.Express® or something similar.

I wouldn't be among your pioneer customers though.

NOETHNICITY:
That we have a couple of staff of SE extraction that are notorious drunkard means what?

I know for a fact that the US military have a high number of drunks in their staff list. This does not however affect the overall ratings of the US army.

Two drunkards on your company staff roll are not enough for you to negatively profile a whole geopolitical zone.

We know about people who carry alcohol in their ablution kettles, but I didn't reference them as they truly are in the minority

There are drunkards in the SE, when I said beer parlours abound in the SE, I never implied it was frequented by saints.

What I implied was that even though these shops abound, the statistics of those who drink to misbehave is low.

There are those who control themselves enough to drink responsibly.
There are teetotalers as well.

My point is this; the average teetotaler in the SE is a teetotaler by choice as booze is available but he chooses to abstain.

The average teetotaler in a given Sharia state is merely a pseudo-teetotaler.

If hisbah is disbanded today, you'll be astounded at the number of people in those places who would end up inebriated within the shortest possible time.

NOETHNICITY:
Are you talking about the same SE where I had my NYSC?
Why do you guys love telling lies?

The most notorious alcoholics in the organization I work are from the SE.

In the USA alone, alcoholism costs the society (both individual and government) about 400b dollars.

Do the maths

What concerns me with alcoholism stats of the US?
You work in an organisation where the staff includes notorious drunkards?

What sort of organisation is that?

Benwallt:
And who told you I think communally? You must be getting paid for you to think I received any form of pay

Only a paid troll will see the present economic state of this nation and the only thing that bothers him is Peter Obi not occupying Aso Rock.

A man who has not even declared his intention of contesting the next general elections.

NOETHNICITY:
My religion Islam solved this problem thousands of years ago, but you call us fanatics and woke for not drinking alcohol.

Some friends avoid me saying I make outings boring, simply because I don’t drink alcohol.

Alcohol has ruined many homes, ruined many lives.
Now deal with the problem

There is no ban on alcohol consumption in the SE, yet men over here are neither generally lazy not chronic alcoholics.

Stop promoting extremism, otherwise if your beloved Muslim faithfuls relocate to Jos, they'll become alcoholics in no time.

To see temptation and have the mind to walk away is great strength.

Benwallt:
Future impossible tense. He can never win. Wake up from your dream.

Unless a man is dead, stop thinking you can predict what he can or cannot be.

You're not God.

How much are they even paying you sef that you're so antagonistic against a man who doesn't even know you exist, who is comfortably rich in spite of you, who you cannot even challenge face to face?

Stop being used Oga.

The country is currently in shambles owing to the laissez-faire attitude to governance the man you all touted to be the messiah brought with him to Aso Rock.

Get a life and think independently.
