The saving mentality of the government is reason for hunger in the land. Nobody gets rich saving, the best you can be is have a lot of money ridden with holes of inflection.

Economy is all about circulation of money not stacking of money in a place.

I get your point but this kind of savings is different,its the block of which you and I would buy goods and services abroad, its the guarantee for them to let their goods go, hope you understand.You only need to tap into this savings as a last result,like we need it now.

Mediocrity you call it?

Your hero met over 40 billion US dollars in foreign exchange account and the excess crude account at over 20 billion US dollars. With oil selling over 100 dollars per barrel almost throughout his reign, imagine if he added a billion US dollars every two months.

That will leave you with what? 2 x 30 = 60 + 47 = 107 billion US dollars. That's asides the 20 billion in the excess crude account.

But what did we end up having? He left 32 billion US dollars in Forex account and almost nothing in ECA.

So, where did the $75b go? How about the $20b?

This is despite having that overated woman in glasses as coordinating minister for the economy within the same period.

What's your definition of mediocrity again?

Are you being genuinely being dubious or just comment for talking sake
where was you when few governors took the FG to court to share the so called savings for the rainy day? ECA??
and you saying he met over $40, na wah where did you get that?


**
“We then established a stabilisation mechanism and opened an account for the oil surplus, which posted up to $22 billion. In 2008, when prices fell from 148 to $38 a barrel, no one had heard of Nigeria because the country was able to tap into this fund. And that, I am very proud [of].

“When I returned to the department in 2011, there remained only $4 billion on this account while the price of oil was very high! I tried again to put money aside. The president agreed, but the governors did not accept.

“I suffered a lot of attacks from them and now that the country would really need this account, these same people accuse me of not having saved. If Nigeria had been more careful, we would not be here today. It hurts me. We have the mechanism, we had the experience, but we were prevented to act.”

Buhari with no economic team managed gather $25B external reserves


If there was anything in the reserve, would the total be $25B?


Anyways, wailers will still come and curse Buhari , even though their own father's failed woefully at controlling thier own family, not to talk of a whole nation of mind Fucccked people



I hope the reserves continue to rise, that's only how our exchange rate to usd will reduce


Kudos baba Buhari

I take it you did not understand what you read?

And here was me thinking Tokunbo was another name for fairly used.............
Is Tokunbo not fairly used? I need to play lagbaja's song for confimento.......

u just learnt something new today

sinoprojects:
....280,000

Now that makes more sense, when you get a call it is to buy.

omololu2020:
but you have nothing to lose in a church wedding like the court one

yes you do.

greenermodels:
if you buy that Crane in Nigeria online and they failed to deliver, you won't do squat.

thats was my point, no re assurance and protection.But if I bought it Online with my credit card say from the US or Uk to ship to Nigeria and fail to deliver then Im covered

sirfee:
Nobody is above the law so he should be investigated.

These guys are,if PMB has to take uncountable numbers of SAN to court just to defend himself in other not to provide his WAEC certificate we never finish in 9ja?

surrogatesng:
The ECU (Brainbox) of my mitsubishi montero 2002 model got damaged.I have been able to get another part that matches however i was told that i will need to get someone to program it.

I need a person who can program it.I have posted a picture of my car and also of the ECU that got burnt.Any advice will be appreciated

Quick question for you,Have you managed to fix that thing or fault that made it to get burnt in the first place?
Someone must have cut and bypass your wirings

greenermodels:
if you can't trust your own blood brother to supervise your ten million naira bungalow without stealing from you,how then can you go into a million dollar partnership with an outsider? what you raised is one of the reasons the Nigerian economy can never industrialize,it's actually more deeper rooted than you make it sound.

TRUST is a big thing. In the west I do not think they have trust either however what they do have is re assurance,The fact you can get your money back if something goes wrong is waht keeps them going.I always buy my flight tkt with credit cards that way if something goes wrong I get my money back.I don't even need to go to court.If I pay for that crane and the coy goes burst without delivering,I'm covered.
Now in that pic up there, the only thing missing would be the money factor to hire that big crane up there.I don't have a clue to how much it would cost to rent one for the day.

spyder880:
There should be a proper investigation into the causes of this collapse and the results made PUBLIC. We all need to learn more from these happenings.

I heard the contractor is going to be arrested, order from the state governor.

See me see trouble this is how american cars are made to look really bad, the electronics and modules of different brands are not the same, a simple thing as gear not all the way in park, low battery as low as 11.2volts instead of 12.5v might cause starting problems.

did they even know if the starter is bad?

I copied this off the internet, remember that if the security is on the car will crank but not start

So I don't know what your mechanic was doing with the steering wirings
The starting system consists of:
Starter motor (including an integral starter solenoid)
Other components to be considered as part of starting system are:
Battery
Battery cables
Ignition switch and key lock cylinder
Clutch pedal position switch (manual transmission)
Park/neutral position switch (automatic transmission)
Wire harnesses and connections.
The Battery, Starting, and Charging systems operate in conjunction with one another, and must be tested as a complete system. For correct operation of starting/charging systems, all components used in these 3 systems must perform within specifications. When attempting to diagnose any of these systems, it is important that you keep their interdependency in mind.
The diagnostic procedures used in each of these groups include the most basic conventional diagnostic methods, to the more sophisticated On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) built into the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Use of an induction-type milliampere ammeter, volt/ohmmeter, battery charger, carbon pile rheostat (load tester), and 12-volt test lamp may be required.

Turn your lights on and try this. When you turn the key to "start" do the lights dim?
If they do then you have draw going to the starter but not cranking - possibility of a bad starter.

It sounds like you did that since you say "all the lights turn off when i get to position 4(starter) on my ignition" it sounds like excessive starter draw and the starter needs replacing or there is a short to ground either in the starter or in the wiring going to it.

If they don't dim then you have no power going to the starter - could be a bad ignition switch, bad wiring, a bad fuse or a problem with the Totally Integrated power module (TIPM - see sticky's).

A bad transponder key will allow it to crank but not run.


Do you have the 5 speed or CVT? With it in Park or Neural you could try and take some jumper cables, connect the negative cable to the starter housing (it is the ground) and just touch the positive cable to the terminal where the positive battery cable screws down and see if it cranks, if not replace the starter.

Or Ignition switch completly dead or Pin/fiber broken, mayB thats why the electrician was ripping wires out to short the switch, this is common with this car as I had to buy mine too.Ignition switch and actuator.

koboko69:
Abeg shut up. If i ask where u are from now. U will say Enugu or Ebonyi. Yet u una go dey put mouth for ND matter.
U know her w many graduates from Rivers, Bayelsa, Edo, and others roaming without any reasonable job? Younare celebrating rewarding of illiterates picking up arms. No wonder Africa is where it is today. Tomorrow u clowns will quickly compare with USA and the likes when something goes wrong. U better face you Biafra matter and stop poking nose is our internal issues. Nonsense!

Ok where are you from? and who did you call illiterate Asari?

truthsayer007:
No, you should have someone who will act as a Guardian to consent and NOT someone who is your Female friend. That one no be guardian na !

Read it again that only applies if the person is under 21 years Old.

truthsayer007:
That you were allowed doesn't mean its allowed by the LAW. Nigeria is a lawless country so anything goes na ! The scenario of your brother inlaw signing for your hubby is actually pardonable because he can act as a Guardian. But that of your female friend is wrong according to LAW.

So you won't talk shit to me bcuz we are on Nairaland.

http://www.nigeria-law.org/Marriage%20Act.htm

I had to go dig it up, Because i remember my Dad telling me sometime ago that i can't do this without parents consent, and you are now telling me otherwise.

I think this has to do with a person of certain age it says under 21 years old.

OBAGADAFFI:
True, but you know embassies verify this certificate before accepting them.

It is easy to verify a Federal certificate, than s local government certificate from Osun state.

Which of the certificate verification is faster federal or local.

U think they verify? they do not have such time for all that.Unless you give them reason to.I asked the registrar if they where contacted by the embassy when I got married he said Nop.This is the truth, most of this things are myth.Some people still have figures for BTA.

truthsayer007:
[img]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByctjwpZSf-qT0tPYTMyWFQ5eWM/view[/img]

but that does not tell us the full picture cos like the guy you quoted, i signed for my cozen and the sister to the wife signed for her this was in PHC

TheMyth:
Lord ... Anything the judge 'feels' is fraudulent is fraudulent ... Did you fully read the article , she 'claimed' he forced her to sign the prenup and promised her verbally that when they start having children he would dispose it . This is the so called fraudulent ground ... The prenup was done completely by the book and even had a pay of 25000 dollars for every year they remained married . I'll say it again google is your best friend

Ofcos i read all of it, why wont I,MOPOL nor dey here nah , however to the force bit, that wont stand in court if it was done in the presence of her lawyers and his lawyers(witness), just saying, that might be where he erred.

Sanchez01:


You know, I was including the above in my previous post. There is this aura that the Ikoyi registry emits. Beyond the aura, a lot of people have subconsciously added class to it. They believe it is much more classy than other registries in Lagos. Interestingly, the ladies often times get to make the pick. Trust ladies and weddings. They'd always want to stand out even under the scorching sun, just so they could pose with the infamous Ikoyi 'Ministry of The Interior' signboard.

However in the Uk some registry tend to commercialize their registry to raise income, the make their environment look good for pictures to lure more customers.You can tell by the flowers and deco

OBAGADAFFI:
Well, Ikoyi and Abuja are the only two federal Marriage registries in Nigeria.

The rest are state registries.

Its like comparing federal university to state university.

Sentiments favors the federal.
Most embassies recognized the federal registry more than the state.

Ahaha, you want to hear a simple truth
The Embassey do not give a shyte about waht LGA you bring your cert from.as far as it issued by a LGA in NIgeria, its a myth,same thing people think they are going to be asked BTA

TheMyth:
Stop arguing and just google ... http://www.forbes.com/sites/jefflanders/2013/04/02/five-reasons-your-prenup-might-be-invalid/#11e766662e3d ... http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2013/04/n-y-prenup-battle-winner-destroyed-family-with-affair-cousin-says/

Plz re read the article again,
I think it gave grounds for which this can be thrown out ie fraudulent ground etc?
So If everything was done correctly then you are as good as gold.

orekelewa09:
why will I want a quiet wedding. did I steal someone's husband?

you killed me here
for this PMB era anything can happen, its called management, cos nah you and hubby go bear the warrant after D day

ariesbull:
It can't, its a contract and we don't do prenuptial here unless you want complicate simple issues

Thanks jare, you sign a contract, on what basis would a judge overturn it I even post the link.

Sanchez01:
If she'd be going on a weekday then she wouldn't have any issues. The yanga and unnecessary shakara of the registrars only pop up on weekends. It's one of the reasons I asked her to go on a Thursday. A very good friend got married on Thursday last week, and she told me she had no hitch or whatsoever.

Ikoyi becomes a disaster when it's used on a weekend.

If I was in that stage of my life I will just go to the registry of a quiet LGA and get it done, why the wahala no point,
I heard some people think the Embassy gives special treatment to you if your cert says IKOYI or mayB that is an International registry as if there is such thing.

UrennaNkoli:
For clarity sake, court/registry marriage are the same. In most countries its even termed as court marriage. Marriage proceedings are usually done in a registry which is affiliated to the law. Its right to say registry marriage, its also right to say court marriage.

Thanks all for your contributions.

nah COURT MARRIAGE is a word used by those in the *Not to know*spectrum
However there is one country I know of that used that word court marriage INDIA.It is enshrined into their laws but it was meant to legalize those who wish to marry against their parent wishes.

TheMyth:
Writing in caps doesn't make you correct , it is general knowledge prenups can be overturned just google it and stop saying things you Dont know.

I have googled it and it turned out nothing of such, I have said you should give me a citation,so mayB you can give me a link

ariesbull:
You asked for court marriage and I have explained...,why deviating to traditional..... They are different


Court is valid and universal accepted
Traduional is customary and culturally accepted

By Now you should stop using the word COURT MARRIAGE
it has already been established court is for dissolution of marriage and not for registration of marriage ,that's the job of the registry,lets move on. plz.

ariesbull:
That's African man....do oyibo pay bride price..,,what we are talking is legality of marriage not customary acceptance if marriage. Bride price is good, but it is useless when you don't have any certificate to back it up.


Which one is more important....OK I paid bride price but there is no document to back it up,,,.just like you went to school but no certificate to prove. Are you buhari

Thats was where I was driving out, its our heritage and we should not abandon it.We should strive to keep them, If husband and wife from the Uk want to go on holiday to say Canada, is anyone going to ask them for their wedding certificate let alone its validity?

ritababe:
because he vanished like ghost when efcc were looking for him

That was what the press said, we now know different.
But I thought they said APC won??

eph12:
I thought this man was wanted by the fg some time ago

was all in the news, but Im very sure he prepared himself.This guy is not easy Ooo

ariesbull:
That is a different ball game....traditional marriage is good but it doesn't have legal backing. They don't issue certificate in trado ...,even most penticistal churches certificate isn't valid....you need to go to court to update it.

Its mostly catholic and Anglican with Orthodox churches certificate are recognised....most of these embassies won't recognise these one man church.


As an Igbo man....all you have to does pay bride price and do intro the same day. Just take few umunna



It doesn't cost much ...the main thing is bride price


But validity of marriage is in valid legal certificate

Funny you said that, you know even after you do church, registry, if you do not do that traditional one and pay the bride price, guy, you never marry, its still marriage on credit, or what we call paperbag marriage where I come frm.
