So much injustice, lawlessness, cruelty, and outright wickedness everywhere across the world. This is as a result of lack of self confidence, the failure of parenting, and supervisory responsibility and total lack of fear of God. All these despicable acts just shows the abysmal extent man inhumanity to man have descended into.

Too much affluence and privilege, spoil children teacher cannot control or correct student, their parents will cry foul ,why will their ward not misbehave.

Greed will finish us in this country.

Go to trade fare and see how street retailers are ripping us off big time.

My wife bought her body cream CT+ at the rate 2100 at trade fare yesterday while in our area retailers are selling it for 3700.

Kk brothers soap my wife bought the pack for 7k(6pieces) while one is sold for 1700 by retailers.

Her sanitary pad she bought 1 pack at the rate of 1050 while retailers sell for 1700.

Even strike bitters sachet pack(20 pieces) wey I dey always use console myself i buy for 2000 she got it for 1450.

Note she didn't even buy at carton price but at pack price because if she was buying in carton the price would be lower that than.


Just yesterday I bought a derica of rice on my way back home for 900 around oshodi terminal while the seller in my street is still selling for 1300 despite price of bag of rice coming down.

We are own problem.......everyone is wicked in this country.

Retailers every level in Nigeria are shylock from petrol marketers to petty traders . Petrol marketers will have something to say .

The origin of the ban on spraying

1980s

I attended a party at the official residence of a very senior government official in 1985 or '86. When it was time for the dance, the MC announced that there would be no spraying because spraying was not allowed. I thought that I understood why. My thought was that they did not want any ostentatious displays of wealth. That was in line with the situation in the country at the time.

From then on I heard similar announcements at parties that were held by government officials.

Dirty and mutilated notes in the 1990s and early 2000s

Fastforward to the late 1990s and early 2000s. Nigerians had been complaining about the poor quality of naira notes since the end of the 1990s. They complained that naira notes were dirty, torn and that in some cases you could barely read what's written on them. At that time (Joseph Sanusi era) the CBN put pressure on banks to receive old naira notes and forward them to it for destruction (Nigerians were complaining that banks were rejecting old naira notes).

Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo and the change

Then came Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo. Professor Soludo gave a speech in which he complained that the CBN was spending too much money to destroy mutilated notes and print new ones. He complained about the way that Nigerians treated bank notes. He reminded people that it was illegal to mishandle currency notes and he said that he was going to propose an amendment to the law to ensure that people who mishandle naira notes were severely punished.

Adverts

The CBN then released adverts to educate Nigerians about naira notes. You might remember them. The adverts were very detailed and explained every single situation properly. I’m going to try and explain them from memory.

1) Spraying: Do you want to show appreciation to a musician? Don’t paste naira notes on his forehead (where they will react with his sweat), don’t allow it to drop to the floor and react with dirt, don’t allow people to step and dance on it.

Instead, put the money in an envelope and go up and give it to the musician.

2) Carrying money: Don’t put naira notes in your bra where they will react with your sweat. Don’t squeeze naira notes and stuff them in your pockets. Get a wallet and put them neatly in the wallet.

3) Trading: Are you a trader/hawker? Don’t squeeze naira notes, don’t stuff them in your wrapper/pockets. Get a waist pouch and place them neatly in the pouch. Ensure that your hands are clean before you handle the naira. Don’t get blood or other liquids on the naira.

4) Church: Don’t squeeze naira notes into the collection box/basket. Put them in an envelope and place them neatly into the box/basket.

5) Selling change: Don’t sell naira notes. It is an offence. (Some people sell lower denomination notes [aka change] at parties, so that people will have money to spray).

6) Writing: Do you want to make calculations and write down important things? Don’t write on the naira, get a notepad.

All these scenarios were dramatised in the adverts (I’m sure that I have forgotten some of them).

The CBN said that the naira was a national symbol and people must treat it with respect.

Polymer notes:

You might remember that this was also one of the reasons that Professor Soludo introduced polymer notes. It was said that the polymer (plastic) notes would not get torn and would not absorb liquids as easily as the paper notes. It was also more difficult to write on the plastic notes.

Enforcement

The CBN act was amended to include jail terms for people who mishandle naira notes.

However, on one hand, some people expressed scepticism. Would the Central Bank go to all parties at weekends to arrest people that were spraying and selling change? They said that it was impossible to enforce.

On the other hand, some bloggers and rumour mongers created scare stories about policemen invading parties and arresting people.

Flagrancy

As stated above, the CBN/EFCC/ICPC cannot go to all parties every weekend and arrest every single person that sprays or sells money. They can’t arrest everybody that puts naira notes in their bra or stuffs them in their pocket.

Yet many people have been arrested and prosecuted for committing these offences in the past 17 years. How come?

Bobrisky was arraigned on a three count charge, that means he committed the offence 3 times, why wasn’t he arrested after the first or second time and why was he arrested after the third time? In fact, some people who follow these kind of events say that Bobrisky has sprayed money on more than 3 occasions. Why wasn’t he arrested all the other times? I’ll tell you what happened.

A movie producer wanted maximum publicity for her movie and she figured out a way to get it. Bobrisky was invited to the movie premiere and given an award for being the best dressed woman at the event. As expected, this caused an uproar.

The issue trended for a full week. There were many pictures, videos, stories and opinions about the incident. Many of them graced Nairaland’s homepage. The movie producer had gotten the publicity that she wanted.

In fact, the backlash was so great that the producer had to eventually admit that it was a publicity stunt (my friend had said that it was a publicity stunt right from when the first story broke).

Among the videos that trended for a week was a video of Bobrisky spraying money at the event. There was no way that it would not catch the attention of the EFCC.

A lot of people have been arrested and prosecuted for these offences in the past 17 years and if you look at them you’ll notice that they were all fragrant violations of the law.

A1) A Chinese man got angry at the Murtala Muhammed Airport and he tore over three thousand naira worth of notes right in front of security agents (Immigration, Customs, SSS). He was arrested by the SSS and handed over to the EFCC. He was prosecuted and sentenced to 2 years in jail.

https://www.efcc.gov.ng/efcc/news-and-information/news-release/8080-court-jails-chinese-two-years-for-naira-mutilation

Another actress was spraying money at an event and the video went viral. This was at a time that the government was very sensitive about the notes because they had just been redesigned and were scarce. Of course she was arrested and prosecuted.

https://www.nairaland.com/7553630/efcc-arrests-oluwadarasimi-omoseyin-over

A man became famous for creating jewelry made of naira and kobo coins. That fame was his problem. Of course he was arrested.

https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2023/5/currency-mutilation-man-jailed-for-using-nigerian-coins-to-make-jewelry-2.html

There were also some people that were selling new naira notes at a party in Ilorin at a time when the notes had been redesigned and were scarce. They were also arrested.


So as you can see and as you will see when I share more articles and stories, many people have been arrested and prosecuted for breaking this law before Bobrisky was arrested.

With all these none of those selling new notes have been arrested or prosecuted, who sell or gave them the new notes? All the money deposit banks are guilty,
The political class are guilty of the of the offense.

That's good move .
Federal government should legislate that anybody that died in or near river or killed by fallen tree, thunder and by hanging should not be buried there,No rituals performed like they do for Ebola COVID 19 ,small pox etc .
With all the rituals they traditionalist perform there have been no decrease in the occurrence rather it is increasing. Thunderstorms do kill in other countries no rituals are being performed
Why didn't they say road accident crashes victim be buried by the roadside,plain crashes and train accident victims be buried along there?
It was when the FGN legislate against the burials of small pox victims by the Ogboni fraternity that we are able to eradicate it in Nigeria especially in the southern part.

Popular nigerian pastor and a major critic of the nigerian government has blasted nigerians that are not happy as the dollar begin to appreciate. He was furious that despite being an obidient, he has moved on, but some people always want to see anything bad about their country especially since their candidate lost, and always want bad things to be happening so that they can say, Shey we warned you.

shortgun:
Tragically we lost a close friend to the cold hands of death who passed away in a ghastly motor accident.

He was in his late thirties to early forties,unmarried, no child, and a Christian from the North west.

In solidarity, we his friends, proposed to hold a formal wake keep for him at his Abuja residence and promptly began the preparation process. This included securing the services of a DJ and arranging refreshments for the gathering.

Certain members of his family objected to the idea of the wake keep, contending that it was inappropriate for us to engage in partying and funfair following the untimely passing of their loved one. They insisted we limit the gathering to just a public address system and a choir to sing, nothing more.

Some of our friends are threatening to hands-off and withdraw their involvement from everything about the funeral including not attending the burial and allow the family members do whatever that pleases them.
Others are of the opinion that we should ignore the family members and go ahead with our plans since we are going to be paying respect to our late friend and not members of his family.

What do you guys think?

You the supposed friends wetin be your interest in burial programme above the family wish . It is stupidity. Before you do anything you ought take instructions from the family moreover did the deceased have wife and children ? The welfare of the wife and children should your primary concern, than burial frivolities.

It has been in the market since the time of colonialism.
Colonial masters, missionaries use to wear it, then we wear it to farm, some wear it for fashion , to work ,paramilitary like boys scout boy brigade use it because it is strong and durable .

You can see where they are living by the fence openly. The fence is close to the popular Hope Waddel Institute, Calabar. You can see them lying down on bare ground. I mean bare ground.

If not for anything, why not for the sake of the little innocent child, this woman and the child are take away and to a better place?

Quite disappointing to see what this woman and her child are passing through. The innocent child right in front of the office of the state child protection network? In front of Ministry of Women Affairs? In front of HumanitarianAffairs? Come on!

The Tinubu government has just increased electricity cost for band A customers to N225 per KPH.

For context, customers in the US pay about the same cost per KPH (or cheaper) depending on the state you live in.

Energy analysts are explaining that Nigerians are willing to pay more if they have access to electricity.

Based on data from NerdWallet, the average monthly electricity cost in the US is about $137 which is about N178,000.

Are you willing to pay N178,000 monthly for electricity for a 24-hour supply?

It will not be well with those comparing Nigeria with USA, UK or EU. the conditions in these countries are incomparable with Nigeria. The insatiable of this tariff increase will crush when they cannot supply energy to satisfy their customers . How do you want somebody whose income is less than #50000 a month to afford this increase . We are already adapting to darkness occasioned failure of electricity companies.

At a burial ceremony in Nigeria, guests found themselves in a battle against a mysterious adversary: the wind. What was meant to be a solemn gathering to bid farewell to a loved one quickly turned into a chaotic scene as gusts of wind repeatedly wreaked havoc on the event.

The ceremony took a dramatic turn when the wind picked up, sending canopies soaring into the air not once, not twice, but three times. Attendees, already grappling with the emotions of the occasion, were caught off guard as they scrambled to secure the flying structures.
