I told her that day that if she called I may never be able 2 run like I did with the rest. She told me she would call so u could safe me from myself. The rest is history.

pufectskin: She is going to die! Just accept that. Ruptured Appendicitis has a very high mortality rate.
That is what she gets for being a part of the brain dead ppl who govern us.
I am closing with this;
“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves,
but wiser men so full of doubts.”

Professor Ibrahim Ayagi, an economist and former banker airs his views on plans by the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, to introduce N5,000 note into the Nigerian economy. Excerpts:

What is your opinion on the recent announcement by the Central Bank of Nigeria, Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, to introduce N5,000 note and converting some notes into coins?

I thank you for the opportunity to comment on the new policy of the CBN. Actually, I watched the CBN governor on television talking about the policy. He gave his intention to introduce the N5,000 note and convert the N5, N10 and N20 to coins. The only justification he mentioned for the policy was that it was normal for countries to review their currencies after every five years. That is the only reason he gave in that appearance, though I don’t know what he said elsewhere.

Countries do review their currencies after a period of five years, I agree. When you say it’s normal to review, it is ok. But reviewing does not necessarily mean changing. I can review all our currencies from N5 to N1,000 and then ask are these adequate for what we are facing now? Do we need any more notes now? At the end of the day you can say ‘I think these notes are alright.’ As far as I’m concerned if you do this you have reviewed your currency, but not changed it.

We are not the only economy in the world; there are many economies that are even more superior than our own. Are they changing their currency policies after every five years? I believe not. Look at the United States, which is the strongest economy in the world. The highest denomination it has is $100. They don’t have any note higher than $100 bill. I remember when I went to the US to study more than 30 years ago, that was what they had. I believe up to now, the US has not increased its currency denomination.

Another country, the United Kingdom has also not changed its currency. I was there more than 35 years ago and the highest denomination they had was N50 pounds. Today it is still the same, it hasn’t changed.

Also, Saudi Arabia which is more in our own group than the others has 500 Riyals as its highest denomination. And that has been in existence for more like than 30 years without being changed. Why are we increasing ours now when just about ten years past? We increased our highest denomination 10 from N500 to N1,000. And now you want to introduce N5,000 note: For what? What do you want to tell the rest of the world? What do you want to tell Nigerians? Are you telling them the value of the naira has gone down so much so that you need five times or five hundred times the currency you have to do business? Even theN1,000 note, how many people use it now. Do you go for business and pay with N1,000? You only want it when you want to withdraw large amounts from the banks. What it means is that the naira’s value is becoming weaker more and more, so that you need more of it to do business.

The implication of the N5,000 on the economy is serious. I think it is not unnecessary and it’s not going to serve any purpose. We have more problems to deal with than changing currency at the moment, because the wealth of the country is not increasing. People are becoming poorer. There are more poor Nigerians now than there were last year. So, I think our N1,000 can still serve the purpose.

Again, the coining of the lower denominations is going to be costly, though they say it’s going to reduce the cost of transactions. If N5, N10 and N20 were coined, they will also be rendered unusable just like N1 and 50k coins. Honestly, I personally have forgotten the last time I saw the N1 coin in circulation.

This means the inflation in the country will worsen. By implication, the introduction of new notes would mean their value has become less and the cost of goods and services will rise, though I acknowledge that there are other factors that contribute to inflation apart from currency. I’m even surprised how the government accepted the plans, because without its nod the CBN would not venture into the exercise.

Don’t you think Sanusi is pursuing too many policies at the same time?

Well. Maybe there is an element of that. Maybe the governor is in a hurry to do many things and the hurry may lead to situations that may not be good for the country. It’s good to be careful how you go about things.

Will the inflation that can result be high that the CBN will find it difficult to control?

No. I cannot talk about the extent of the inflation. I can only say that in general, it has a tendency to worsen the inflation. But, of course, there can be other things that can be done to reduce the impact of the inflation.

Should Sanusi have concentrated on one policy at a time?

To me so far the CBN governor has been running his policies, since he started normally – well-thought-out and well-planned, so far. To me the point of introducing the cashless economy, I will score him very high. The problem is, now, he’s going into certain things that will negate what he has been doing. I’m not disagreeing with him a hundred percent, but I’m only criticizing this policy of changing the currency which I see as a contradiction of an earlier policy. But aside that, he has been doing well.

His cashless policy has only begun in Lagos and some other parts, but not in the North. And you have to be realistic. Remember, we have a large number of junior staff, many of whom do not have bank accounts. To ask all these staff to open accounts at the same time will create problems for them. The new system is that of procedure which has to be followed step by step. For now many junior workers would have to be paid their salaries in the traditional way. But maybe by next year, the old system may not be there because many of such workers may have gotten bank accounts for their salaries to be paid in. So, the system has to go on gradually until everyone has gotten into it.

Similarly, the CBN has pursued the right policy to rehabilitate banks. Although they may have some problems, they should find ways to deal with those problems. To me that is okay.

But if you take the issue of the cashless policy and the introduction of the N5,000 note, there is inconsistency between the two. Here you are saying people should substitute cash with other methods of payment. For instance, some workers on salaries just receive alerts about payment being made into their accounts without receiving the payments in cash. That is good, because it is associated with a modern society. But introducing higher denominations will contradict the cashless policy. So, I think the CBN governor risks contradicting his policies in his haste to do so many things at a time.

There are concerns that introduction of the N5,000 note would encourage corruption in government. Do you entertain that fear?

I have personally never seen N1 billion. But now people tell me that somebody has N1 billion stashed in his house or even N2 billion. Nigeria is unfortunately a corrupt country. When I say I don’t believe in my mind that someone can steal N1 billion, people say I’m being naïve. But if you steal that amount, what would you do with it? If that is happening, then I think the N5,000 will help the corrupt people who constitute the top five percent of the country. Anybody dealing with huge sums of money will be happy with this policy. So, for those who are corrupt, considering the magnitude of graft in this country, the policy will aid them because they don’t have to carry huge Ghana-must-go (laughs).

As a veteran economist and a banker, what advice would you offer to the CBN governor on the this issue? Will you ask him to stop it?

Of course, if, for instance, I meet Malam Sanusi today, I would tell him that this policy you are pursuing is wrong. I think it is unnecessary. By converting the lower currencies into coins you are eliminating important names in the system, such as Murtala Muhammed, Alvan Ikoku and Tafawa Balewa. These names are historic. But what is wrong with all these people being maintained on the notes when others like Awolowo and Sardauna are also printed on some of the notes? And more importantly, it is more expensive to produce coins than notes I will tell Sanusi when I see him that this time you are wrong.

[quote author=Mynd_44]I read until the part where the OP said he beamed her twice and I decided that the guy deserved to be dumped[/quote]come that is judgmental. He has not touched her again after those last two ones. Give the guy a chance, give him a better advice that judging him. Am sure he learnt his lesson.

For me, I would say join her church so u can see the pastor face to face and then u call him out one on one and talk to him. U ask him what gave him the right to make that statement (mind u don't allow the pastor try 2 convince u with his hucus pucus bullshit)

2goodbobo: No i dont believe that. I believe that what is yours, is yours and what is not yours, then is certainly not yours nomatter how hard you try.

true I believe that too but who says she is not 4 him. U don't know that, I don't know that and neither does he. Since he wants 2 try let him do that.

....

[quote author=Mynd_44].[/quote]is that all u got 2 say ma guy

Oh! I didn't know doctors in Nigeria who all spent 7 yrs in medical schools can't treat simple food poisoning. Has anyone seen Michelle obama being flown out of USA for treatment. This is pathetic news, sad and pathetic. I believe she went on a spending spree with our oil money. But Nigerians are really gullible idiots if they believe this one.

Now no one should go making judgement here cos u r not in d man's shoe

Onegai: Don't be proud of yourself. Because one girl hurt you, you went about hurting several women, one of whom may have dated a guy that encouraged a girl for 3 months, only for him to disappear like she was a demon, no arguments, just didn't reply any messages or used the wicked way you treated her to deal with a guy who will insist on sleeping with a girl looking for commitment and then bail after, though he made promises and on NL, all of us will add insult to injury by insulting her. That's an example, but I'm sure it's real. I'd have congratulated you if you had said your ex treated you badly yet you decided to be good and not hurt girls till you meet the one you marry (and I'm sure guys hurt her too, so yeah). Right now, all I can say is "big deal". Go impress me by apologising to the girls who paid for your ex's mistake.

I didn't open it 2 tell the world or NL about my previous prowls which I can tell u am not happy about. Don't crucify me or any person for that matter 4 certain life experiences good or bad. Just learn from it and if u feel its something u can't learn 4rm then post ur comments and move on (don't mean to sound disrespectful here). I know just like everyone else does that 2 wrongs don't make a right. At that phase of my life i was still too blind to see a lot of stuffs I see better now, thats my excuss good or bad but that was just it.

dominique: at least this one survived. similar case that happened in Benin (same age), the boy was completely burnt to ashes. when are we going to let go of our crude ways?

hmm, looks like its getting to be a thread in naija

ogugua88: I'm very thankful. I wouldn't ask anyone to date young/early, but if one chooses to, I wouldn't stop them either as it's very enlightening. The old me was naive, gullible, and clueless in terms of street smarts. Not anymore.

well spoken

M M M: I hate ladies dat wear pant

now i wonder y

na 2day?

a matter of opinion

[quote author=Mynd_44]U am not mad my ex neither am I happy with her. Its gone its gone there is no point in me re-visiting that well again[/quote]ok, thats ur opinion

Guys, I wonder why people keep screaming negative stuffs about exs. No matter how much he/she hurt u why be angry. Let sleeping dogs rest, live and let live, 4get it and move on.
Don't get me wrong, I also had a nasty experience with my ex a long time ago in Uni. I was naive then and she was young but far too wise 4 me. She would have reaped my heart out of my chest if I had allowed her . But what could I say then, I was in2 her. Anyway, I got wise and moved on after she left me 4 a much bigger boy in school then. It hurt then, it hurt so bad that I swore to hurt any girl that comes my way. I actually did, I hurt a lot of ladies along the way till I met the lady I married.
I remember some years back ex came to me wanting 2 come back. Says I was the only one that was good 2 her. The only one that treated her like a woman and with respect. Said she was young and didn't appreciate what I felt 4 her. I could have hurt her then 4 all she put me through, all she did 2 me, all she made me suffer. Revenge would have been sweet then, cos revenge is best served cold. But I let her go unscared. Didn't touch her. Told her its in the past and 4gotten and that I was in a serious relationship and would like 2 concentrate on it. Ex tried me 4 years in the hope that I give up the relationship 4 her until she finally gave up.
Today, ex wants 2 wed but her family says they want a guy from the South-east. She called me and I adviced her about things about how 2 go about it. She calls every now and then asking about this advice or that. Have told her wifey doesn't want her calling me but she still does. May have 2 change my number if she continues.

So like I said earlier: Don't be angry wit ur ex.....instead thank him/her 4 making u wiser. I won't have met my wife if ex didn't walk out on me. Ex cried the day she called and I thanked her so much 4 walking out on me the way she did.

Guys sorry for my blabbing but just wanted 2 share this piece. U guys can add to the thread if u wanna. Just tell us which of ur exs made u learn to be a better person or made u heartless the way u are.

peacoock (if given chieftaincy title am sure u 4 get Iyanga 1)

haxcellencima: na wa for dis world

ma sister no be small na wah ooooh!

A 10-year-old boy, (names withheld), was on Friday in Lafia, Nasarawa State, set ablaze by two men for alleged witchcraft.

The incident, which took place on Shalele Street, close to Immaculate Primary School, Lafia-East, resulted in the child being hospitalised at Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital (DASH), Lafia.

The Nasarawa State Child Protection Network (CPN), which got wind of the incident disclosed that it was ready to institute legal proceedings against the culprits.

The culprits, simply known as Adamu and Suleiman, Saturday Tribune learnt, went to the residence of the victim at midnight when his parents were not around and put pepper in his eyes, poured petrol over his body and set him on fire.

Further investigations by Saturday Tribune revealed that the men executed the act when Adamu’s wife complained that she saw the boy in her dream, in the form of a lizard and entered into her womb, claiming that the boy was a wizard.

However, Saturday Tribune gathered that when the incident happened, the parents of the boy were said to be away as the father was reported to be sick and in hospital in Wamba Local Government Area of the state; while the boy’s elder brother and sister watched helplessly as the men carried out the act.

While reacting to the situation, the state CPN Coordinator, Barrister Evelyn Kaderi explained that the network has resolved to take up the matter legally by ensuring that the perpetrators were brought to book.

It was learnt further that the suspects were working round the clock to ensure that the matter dies a natural death.

She also stated that if the suspects were punished for their actions, it would serve as a deterrent to others who have no value for human lives adding that the CPN would not relent in its efforts at ensuring that justice prevailed.

The boy, who spoke with Saturday Tribune on his hospital bed stated that he was recovering from the burns.

Speaking in Hausa, he stated that the men came to their house at midnight and ordered him out of his room as they accused him of witchcraft.

The state Deputy Police Public Relations Officer (DPPRO), Cornelius Ocholi, who confirmed the incident, however, said the suspects had been arrested and investigation is ongoing.

29 burnt to death, several others injured in Yobe auto crash
Over nine hundred passengers escaped death yesterday morning when a 10-coach Iddo bound train rammed into a trailer truck at Ilupeju Railway crossing near Oshodi, Lagos.

Also two Toyota Hiace buses travelling in opposite directions along Potiskum-Kano road in the state, had a head-on collision and thereafter went off in flames. 29 persons died,11 of them burnt beyond recognition.

The accident which occurred at about 7:30 a.m. led to traffic gridlock along the Ilupeju/Oshodi road for several hours.

Saturday Vanguard gathered that each of the coaches has 90 seats, but they were usually overloaded.

An eye witness said that the articulated vehicle blocked the railway crossing when the train was already close by.

The loaded trailer had crashed into the double barriers on the railway crossing shortly before the train arrived.

On seeing the approaching train, the driver jumped out of the trailer and ran away. The train then dragged the truck for some distance, scattering the goods inside it — which were mostly empty cartons of Malta Guinness drink along the track.

The dragging of the truck also led to the damaging of some vehicles parked along the rail track by motor mechanics.

We gathered that the accident caused some damage to the engine of the locomotive and the track.

Confirming the accident, Mr Ademuyiwa Adekanbi, the Lagos District Public Relations Officer of the Railways, said that no life was lost in the incident.

Adekanbi said that the corporation has embarked on enough enlightenment campaigns on the use of the Railway Crossings.

“We have done enough jingles on radio and television, we have rallies and distributed fliers to sensitise people of the right of way of a train at level crossings,” he said.

The incident makes it the third time in August that passenger trains have rammed into vehicles at railway crossings in the Lagos metropolis.

davidylan: You will be an idiot to throw her away for the other reasons you mentioned. It is VERY HARD to come by a woman with the qualities i outlined in your post.
The problem i see here is YOU. Have you sat her down and talked to her about your fears? What job does she do? If she had one and a family to juggle she'd be too busy finding time to giggle with her friends.

You married her at 20 and you knew all these . . . dude, man up and take control of your home. Do you go places with her, do you do stuff together or you just leave her alone with her friends all day and then turn around to complain?

About what she's like in bed . . . na you go rectify that yourself. I'd rather a woman who wasnt a freak in bed but had everyother qualities than a porn star who is useless. Sex isnt all there is to life.

Strikes me like you married her for her face and skin color and nothing else if not why are you complaining about her now? Fix her up! Divorce is not always the answer, you will regret it later.

U said it all. He has to fix his home right now b4 it goes against him. A lot of men would kill 4 the kind of woman he married. Just so they have peace at home. Ur wifey sounds like a saint compared 2 other wives that men marry. Work on ur wife, speak 2 her, experiment with her. take her out alot, spend time with her. U will see that she will definitely mature up and may spend less time with her friends. B4 careful, when her friends see she has grown, they may want a peace of u. I know cos I walked a friend of mine down that road a feww months back.

Emmyk: A friend told me its bad that calling him DADDY is better. Does Uncle sounds despicable? I thought its a respectful name for your mum or dad's bigbrother or younger

this story is very fishy. I smell fish here.
