Tinubu s wife,Olufemi said that her husband is already a wealthy man and that they don't need Nigeria money to survive.

Why didn't they use their personal money to renovate their residence?

Besides,It is not all the money that will be use for the renovation.Most of them will end in their private bank accounts.

These are the politicians that are telling Nigerians to make sacrifices.

Tinubu must get all the monies he spent bribing the delegates during primaries and election rigging back. Nothing goes for Nothing. Una neva see nating

tafabaloo:
Mad people asking Nigerians to make sacrifices, while they have continued to amass more wealth and live in opulence.

Wetin den wan carry Yacht do for God sake....to pursue boko haram for inside water ?
Infact, this govt is worse than one chance walai


God will judge all these bad leaders in Jesus name..

Buhari would throw such a request into dustbin at first sight. The only leader who's not reckless is buhari. I give that to him

whether by birth or naturalization they have same rights in Canada. If you commit a treasonable act like spying or terrorism you will lose the citizenship by naturalization.

In USA you cant contest for presidency unless you were born in USA. Asides that its same rights.

In the US where I once lived and schooled, you cannot do that except you're a born-American citizen. You can possibly do that as a naturalised american citizen, if you got employed by an American company and posted outside the US or you're on an official( state's) assignment outside the US like the military or diplomat. Grab their constitution and consult an immigration lawyer for details. Google may help in a way as well. As a naturalised citizen, its expected that you're always in tune with the system and not outside the system.

ednut1:
where do you people get your information At newspaper stands or what. A citizen of any country can relocate where ever he wants and cant lose his citizenship na except its North Korea. I came to Canada 3 years ago as a PR. And will become a citizen this month. So all the Nigerian celebrities and people that gave birth in USA have their kids living in Nigeria lost their citizenship Like can you guy stop all these falsehoods.

As a citizen of a first world country you have more job prospects abroad than someone from a 3rd world country. There are people who were born in Canada that live and work in asian countries and latin America. Dem get too head?

Are you talking of citizenship by birth or naturalisation? Citizenship get level. You can't lose your citizenship if you're born either in America or Canada. But if your citizenship is by naturalisation, there are certain things you can't do

ednut1:
If the country no favour you wait for the 3 years. Become a Canadian citizen. Use the passport to move to USA, Singapore, Dubai etc. A colleague from 9ja just moved to the USA with same company. Got a big salary increase. The Canadian passport is still a good deal 😁

3 years bawo? Haba naw! Maybe you meant PR. That's a smart idea though. You can leave Canada after becoming a citizen to work elsewhere and be earning better but if the same company you're working for in Canada isn't hiring elsewhere outside nko? What do you do? Can you stay outside Canada more than an allowable period of time except on an official assignment? As a citizen of the US, you cannot try this else, you stand the risk of giving your citizenship except you'reauthorised to work ourside for a lengthy period of time...outside allowableperiod.

soccerlite:
Pray harder


After borrowing that much and selling your property, you intend coming back in November

Hahaha

Ogun aiye re

O lagbara. Meanwhile, Chinese wouldn't stop thronging Nigeria cos they're seeing what we're not seeing

Now, I'm vindicated! Gbam!

Wujio:
God bless you for this transparent feedback. Deeply appreciated. I am currently in the mongroves in the hinterlands in Nigeria. Whenever i am broke, i can get tomatoes, fufu, cassava, garri all on credit with cash and plenty of kindness to go with it. Ill appreciate my bliss.

Judolisco:
what about d SDP guy ajaka? We all knw d igalas have d population and more local government areas.... As an okun man, I was expecting abiodun faleke to contest but he pulled out... Our people would have vote for him.... But u see smart and Dino... I'm not sure.... They've been around d corridors of power for years and they've done virtually nothing..... U need to visit Dino melaye and smart adeyemi town to see for yourself

Ajaka is a good man but he's vying under a political party with a featherweight. Are you aware that Igala is PDP and PDP is igala? Some would vote him, no doubt but party loyalty says it all. Good luck to all of them.

Judolisco:
it's a battle btw SDP and APC.... I'm not sure okun people would vote for Dino given his poor performance as a legislator.... No labour party in kogi... Labour wetin?

Dey play. This is tribal politics at play this time. Smart Adeyemi had reiterated okun is next but Bello dribbled them. The greatest mistake made by bello was picking his tribesman as his successor. He should have either considered an okun or igala man instead but politicians are so selfish.

Monkey no fine but him mama like am. Tinubu's corrupt but yoruba gave him their votes. Even if dino was a thief, which he's not anyway, it won't matter in this election..don't also think igala would vote Ododo an ebiraman. The woman dino picked is as powerful as natasha in igala land

Zamfara men are good-looking, naturally.

I think it's their mode of praying. A kind of respect to God in their own way. There's something I've not really understood. I have 3 Arab friends, one is in dubai, hes a Palestinian-American and 2 Pakistanis. None of them has a black dot or mark on his forehead yet, they are fervent and hardly miss all the 5 prayer times daily. I'd ask them one day, how they've been praying without a spot on their foreheads.

They really fought hard.

qtx:
But is the appearance of lymph node an authomatic positive result of hiv? Just asking

It's one of the hiv symptoms. It's function is to help human body fight infections and when its coming out that way, it means it has been overpowered by a foreign body and can't fight infection anymore. To be sure, testing is necessary

But same Zulum said last week that security had improved in Borno. Politicians shaa

etrange:
Yes, it could happen in one thrust, but statistically speaking, the possibility of you having HIV is extremely low. Nigeria has about 1 million women with HIV and about 100 million women in total. So the chance of you meeting one is like 1%. Again, some of the 1 million HIV positive women are on medication and have undetectable viral loads. This further reduces the number of women in the country that can readily give you HIV (since undetectable viral load implies that it impossible to transmit the disease to others). OK, let's now assume all odds were against you and you had sex with that one-in-a-hundred HIV positive person with a viral load that is not undetectable (i.e., they can transmit the disease), the odds of you contracting the disease from them is still very low. HIV is a difficult virus to catch. When a man has an unprotected sex with a HIV positive woman, the chance of him getting the disease from her in a session is about 0.05%.

So sir, you'll have to be one unlucky fellow to beat these odds. So I suggest you just go and get tested, and stop being a scardy cat, lol. Remember, whatever the result is, it is not the end of the world.

Where did you get your statistical data from? Kindly post it here.

The last time I checked, hiv was fast becoming a pandemic in the country and no thanks to the federal government careless views on this. I was at the FMOH in Abuja last August where the programme director was lamenting, that if not checked, hiv would soon become a pandemic in the country with the kind of results they were receiving from government hospitals, that the NGOs should intensify efforts in curtailing the spread.

Last year, a girl whom I used to groom told me she had some spotted swellings at some locations in her body. She never had a bf until she met this guy who returned from Philippines. They've been talking but eventually met face to face. They grew up together in same area before he travelled. In short, he promised to marry her, slept with her and went back. When I asked her if she ever did anything with anybody, she denied it. I now asked her to go for hiv yest cos what I saw was like lymph nodes coming out. She tested positive. That guy ignored her immediately after she asked him some questions. It spreads like wildfire now. The onus is on everyone to zip up and lead a responsible life. Go to the government hospitals and see for yourself. That statistical data you came up with would disappoint you. A lot of people who are hiv positive don't show symptoms cos they take their drugs. Their looks can be deceptive.

macphilip:
HIV is overhyped and overrated.
Innocent people with cancer, will pray to switch diseases if possible.

Be a man!!!

The virus opens doors to all other diseases to enter, including the cancer you mentioned. It's better not to experience it. Ask the victims.

FarSide:
My past is seriously hunting me. In the past 4 years I've had unprotected sex with 12 girls. Now I want to get married and my girlfriend is insisting on HIV test first.

All these while I never did any HIV test, I never felt it's important to do it and I never had any known symptoms of HIV.

Since she requested for the test, I've been postponing it citing busy schedules and all that but deep down I'm just damn frightened.

Can it be possible to have sex with 12 girls and still not get HIV? The thing is seriously giving me sleepless night.

I'm planning on going for a test myself alone, then if it's negative, I will then go with her but if not, I will just japa

Why are you scared of what you risked in the first place? When you throw a coin, it either lands on its head or tail and not both. We've taken our tine to warn a lot of youths here severally. The onus is on them to listen but they'd not say they've never been warned, should they catch it. Hepatitis and HIV are brothers. By the time the liver is damaged, what's left?

Heed advice and you shall live well and live long

But why are some people trying to cause chaos where there's none? I was on a greyhounds bus from PA one day, the bus had a stop at their Cincinnati station where some passengers joined us while some alighted. There was the veiled woman who sat in front of me. Beside her was a white lady who meant no harm. This veiled woman started talking to the white lady rudely and chaos ensued. The white lady was so scared. Since my bus stop wasn't far, I alighted and left them in the bus.

I can't pity France and Germany. They were warned never to integrate those refugees in their countries into their society but they didn't listen. They integrated them out of empathy. I hope they don't learn in a hard way. Visa free policy of France to their former colonies needs to be reviewed in their best interests. Belgium is now becoming something else. They dont know that, a pig is always a pig, no matter how much you care to give it a good life. It will definitely enter a dirty pool someday.

Foreigners are trooping in because those japaing can't see the potentials that foreigners are seeing

calabaman:
So Seun is still on nairaland 😃

I will join, nice one man.

Yes, reading comments of people abusing one another over politics and burning out their data, while he's busy cashing out

The remnants of pakis are at work. Indians had been enjoying relative peace since they formed their country.

The Ahmed Lawan boi.

Ifeoluwatyson:
How? Pls explain

Egyptians know religion is a scam, infact some of the first churches in the world started in Egypt like Abu Saga


Even Jesus lived 80% of his life in Egypt.. from birth when they fled from king Herod to when he returned at 30s for evangelism

Egyptians knew religion was a scam and God so punished them severely for their ignorance and worship of lesser gods . Your comment shows you're a complete pagan and have never opened the bible before, let alone read a page of it

DaddyRochie1642:
Look at your dirty fingers.

So dirty a finger for a ady. But with all said , why would some guys still risk their lives over 5 minutes enjoyment? I don't get it. HIV is a monster. It shouldn't enter human body oo..cos once it enters, it stays and traumatizes. Only God can cure it and you'd have to dedicate your life to Him completely without looking back. It's a spirit from the dark world

No life jacket ni? Sad!

Successlane:
She needs deliverance.

Great one

So, virgins too had had abortion? What a useless talk

AllDModsAreMaad:
Be playing, the game plan is to inject that amount into the system and then use propaganda to tell those that is stocking it up to sell what they have.

Now, do you consider what will happen when people decide not to sell it off and some continue to stock it up until the one in the system reduce to the point of getting scarce, do you?

For your mind, that amount is too big for people to make it scarce abi, dey play...

Only if you know the quantity of businesses Nigerians do with dollar, you will know that amount will reduce asap once it becomes available in the market but the question is "is FX really available to make people not to make use of black market?"

I even want it to reduce, so that I can complete the projects I have at hand at the moment asap.

This is a reality...based on what had happened before. I only advised. Tinubu refused to save the naira and that's why its so valueless. He also didn't allocate fx to clear the backlogs through the CBN.. Had dollars been injected into the economy like his predecessors had done, naira would have maintained its value but the moment he took office, he left the naira to fall freely without any measure put in place to rescue it. Every country also strengthens their currencies.


That 10bn won't land in individual pockets. It would make a huge impact. Banks would sort out those who have been on queues for fx to import, pay school fees, pay BTA/PTA, etc. When Banks sell fx, there would be less pressure on the black market and that would automatically bring down the dollar rate and strengthen the naira.

I understand Nigeria does huge business volume but not all of them are paid for, across the border. I don't pay fx through bank always. I engage some agents whom I'd pay in naira and they'd credit my suppliers accounts in foreign currencies( RMB, Eur or USD). This is what a lot of SMEs also do. What goes through the nigerian banks is meager, especially since fx had become so scarce.

FYI I'm an importer and am among those badly affected by his policy.

BadCuntry:
No matter how much the Naira appreciates against the dollar... one thing is sure: before Christmas the Naira will trade above 1300 against the $$$

You'd be disappointed on this. I'm not a fan of the apc as you know. Injection of a whopping 10bn usd into the economy, which had been approved means a lot...I mean a lot. If you have dollar, if you'd only listen, don't hesitate to sell so that, the little gains you've made won't disappear like a dew in the wind. I advised someone same way, when the dollar was hitting almost 1k under buhari administration but he didn't listen. By the time it crashed to 699 to a dollar, he lost everything. Now , he's japa to america when he couldn't cope. He's a member of this forum and I'm sure he's gonna read this post. It's a very risky adventure.

Don't join those saying naira would continue to fall as long as Nigeria keeps importing. That's a tale from the moonlight. There are a lot of advanced countries who import almost everything yet , they're prospering. In as much as export would boost our economy, export shortage not our major problem. Corruption and mismanagement of the economy by employing the wrong people are our problem. We weren't exporting as much as we're doing today when obj was in power yet, naira remained very strong throughout, even at a time when our crude sale and volume were very slow even lower than what we see today.

It's just like employing a bad teacher to teach your child , you don't need to be told of your ward's academic performance in the end.
