Business / Re: CBN Rules Out Naira Fall As External Reserves Hit $34bn by echelons(m): 7:32am On Oct 30, 2017
In as much I'd love a stable currency, the CBN should work hard to improve the value of the Naira. N360/$ is still too high especially because we virtually import everything into the country and more than average Nigerian finds his/cashflow stagnating at what it used to be in first quarter of 2015 or even going lower.

CBN pls epp us, we can't buy anything again, and bae is not happy.

Culture / Re: Chidinma Or Chidimma? by echelons(m): 3:40am On Oct 30, 2017
WetinConsignMe:


Committees don't determine the evolution of Language. It evolves through usage. If vast majority of Igbos like and use Chidinma, that becomes the correct spelling.
AntiGod
There's always standard in every thing, languages inclusive.
The Standard English Language as we know today is slightly different from what native British and Americans speak, but would you rather use the so many different native styles or use the standard when you're on something official.

My point is, there's standard in everything, and I just pointed out the standard pattern in Igbo language but also different dialects have different spellings.
Culture / Re: Chidinma Or Chidimma? by echelons(m): 6:36pm On Oct 29, 2017
Chidimma is the grammatically correct spelling of the name. According to Mazi Onwu's committee on Igbo Izugbe, M will follow M (immediately) in a word while N follows N (immediately) in a word.
Eg. Mma (Good, beauty, knife), Nna (Father), Nne (mother), mmanu (oil) , nnu (salt), Nnunu (bird), mmiri (water).

Different dialects have their traditional ways of spelling but it follows from above when you're looking for the grammatically correct spellings.

It seems ChidiNma is the most wrongly spelled name in Igbo language.
Correct spelling for emphasis is ChidiMMA. (God is good).

Car Talk / Re: Do I Need To Pay Custom Duty If I Buy Innoson Car? by echelons(m): 7:58am On Oct 29, 2017
nurey:


Innoson vehicles were brought in as a CKD (completely knockdown kit) and assembled in Nigeria, there is zero import duty on such vehicles so you don't need a custom document for it.

If you are forcefully stopped, don't fret, let them take the car, you just get a lawyer and sue their ass for damages that will leave the Nigerian economy in recession till thy kingdom come.

It's the same privilege Peugeot cars enjoy, no custom officer would stop all those old Peugeot because they came into Nigeria as CKD too and its hard to differentiate an imported one from bought brand new in Nigeria.

I don't think Peugeot enjoys any privilege. As long as you have a receipt showing you bought the car brand new within the country, you're excempted from paying Custom duty but if you don't have any receipt of internal purchase especially for a newer model of car, you're on your own, whether it's Peugeot or Honda or any other foreign brand.

No na.

Custom Duty is only paid on imported items.
All new vehicles, purchased in Nigeria don't have custom duty on them.

Politics / Re: Kogi State Buys 300 Pages Of Newspaper To Publish Salaries Of Civil Servants by echelons(m): 10:03pm On Oct 28, 2017
What you pay me as salary should be confidential.

You can't just publish my name on the pages of National Newspapers or on any public media just to prove a silly point that you manage to pay salary.

If the governor wants to publish anything, let him publish his own salary, those of his commissioners and Special Assistants and those of the members of the state house of assembly.

Useless set of people.

Politics / Re: Jonathan’s Loyalists Responsible For Maina’s Reinstatement – Presidency by echelons(m): 8:20pm On Oct 25, 2017
Jonathan is responsible for everything.. responsible for gross ineptitude of this government, responsible for institutionalising corruption in the system currently going on in this administration, responsible the current horrible state of our economy, worst phase of recession since 1914, responsible for the President's aloofness towards Nigerians. Jonathan is to blame for lack of tangible achievement by this government. Jonathan is currently to blame for the appointment of Abba Kyari, Abubakar Malami, Dambazzau, Babachir Lawal, Maikanti Baru..
We're tired of waiting for this government to wake up and get to work, so let's just blame Jonathan till 2019.

Any experience with Huawei phones? I'm thinking of getting the Honor 8 Lite (or is it called P8 lite?)

Been using P9 lite... The phone sweet die. Timely update, good response time, sharp camera (definitely beats my Galaxy S5).
When there's need for an upgrade, I'm definitely buying another Huawei P series.

Politics / Re: Yakubu Gowon Celebrates His 83rd Birthday Today by echelons(m): 7:55am On Oct 19, 2017
At 83 General Gowon is now seeing the war in another light.

In all his recent interviews, I can feel the weight of the guilt he is carrying at this point in his lifetime. The guilt that he oversaw the War. That he made sure it was fought in the most cruel of way.
I feel sorry for him knowing that every night he still has that nightmare - the blood flowing, the rapes, the hunger, the diseases, the death of friends and fellow fine soldiers. Forget about the political talks of one Nigeria, I believe he will rather take the sadness of a divided country than the overwhelming guilt of leading a senseless civil war.

Maybe he could have handled the situation in a better way, maybe there could have been a genuine dialogue or at least a sincere will to carry out the Aburi pact (Whatever it was) but then he was a youth, an Army General/Head of State at 32 and he must act decisively. He may have acted so fast.

Now he may have seen the light. He may have embraced the one true religion - the teachings of Christ. He may have embarked on so many humanitarian activities but he has not overcome that guilt.

I pray for him. To find the forgiveness he internally seeks and the peace that cones thereof.

Banks will ALWAYS warn you against sharing your online details with anybody, not even with your family members.

Her situation is sad, just like every other fraud case but ignorance is not excusable and she will have to go home and bear her loss.

Hahaha.. And the Account Officers that booked these loans were most likely celebrated, promoted and rewarded for sealing this 'infallible' deal, the banks will have declared Billions as profit in their year end book to their shareholders...
Four years down the line, the deals have gone bad, the banks are already making heavy provisions for the loss, the account officers are either on recovery suspensions or outrightly sacked. Banking headache..

It's not easy lending money in Nigeria. Nothing is certain. What looks perfect today will just turn out to be nightmare tomorrow.
