I am the sound engineer in my church... remember "faith comes by hearing"

if people can't here what the pastor is saying, then there's no faith and "without faith no man can please God"

my work makes hearing and faith possible... most importantly, I like to be unassuming, and been behind the console gives me that opportunity and keeps me away from "notice me syndrome"

I enjoy it because I don't have to go worker's preview,rehearsals or meetings to do it. I get to church,I get to my seat ,pray and do my thing.

what exactly is that?

He was told long ago to devalue and he was sturbbon about it, in this day in age, you cannot run an isolated economy while you trade with the world. all this was gonna be avoided had he devalued to N225, and then N250, gradually devalueing. first of all, why is buhari inerfering with the independ CBN?

The problem with protectionism is, you will never be competative in the world, which means, your economy will only be an internal economy, which is what is happening in nigeria. It had become an artificial economy, the biggest economy in africa pegging a currency, than letting it float like South Africa and kenya do, thats why those countries are so developed and progressive.

and now that they have decided to devalue.. he chose the black market rate... why not go with the official rate so that before it loses grand we can still have some value.

All the contenders have serious problems. But most have stable economies.
The problem is, in what direction are they each heading?
Leaving other nations for now, please be clear that-
OIL PRICE IS WORKING AGAINST US.
Moving on- over half the year gone, yet less than 5% of the budget has been implemented.
Factor in the following-
Acute food shortages, worsening each week, Abysmal power supply,
Uncertain petrol prices by next month,
Budget deficit already of over N700billion,
Continued pipeline bombings,
Continued boko haram insurgency,
Cuts in capital expenditure BEFORE THE DEFICITS WERE ANNOUNCED,
No obvious roadmap or timeline for the projects- or specifics on what's been jettisoned.
Now tell me, by what miracle will we maintain our fragile position?

South Africa also has issues with falling commodity prices especially Gold.

then Egypt has had to battle a sharp fall in tourism generated foreign exchange, mainly due to Terror attacks

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine amongst men that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven......
Nothing wrong in showing his good works on TV and social media..The bible urges us to do so

keep deceiving yourself.

Matt 6:3
when you do charitable deeds,do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing

Stop misinterpreting the bible..
when you do good people will naturally talk about it, that is your light that shines) but when you go about broadcasting and spending money on image laundry... you aren't lightening anything but your image

did christ ever set up a media and publicity committee
it was people who retold his miracles, not him, not even his disciples

It will depend on the following;

1. what the naira finishes the end at what rate to the dollar

2. The price of oil, low or high

if come year end and naira is above N300 to the dolllar, definately nigeria will loose the no.1 spot as the biggest economy in africa in 2017, Egypt or South africa could emerge as No.1


Remember SA lost the 2nd spot in africa aftet their currency was hummered and devalued by 50%. It seems egypt who just got to no.2 in africa are facing similar problems like Nigeria, shortage of dollars, different forex dealers, and their currency is pegged at 8.87 pound, they have no choice than to devalue which in turn will throw them back at 3rd place, so south african rand is stable currently, so the unthinkeable could happen, SA could claim top spot once again. Lets wait and see

South Africa yes! but EGYPT is way behind
Buhari has succeeded in destroying our naira and our economy

my thinking is that this guy doesn't have such money to doll out.. so the more reason for flimsy excuses.

by the way he should be commenting about individuals..the board or panel should be doing so, it makes it seem he has got personal issues with some people

lol no



Akure city

still no difference.. what I see are shops and event center

all this "playing to the gallery"
must we see them on TV and social media?

slimderek:
Remove Benin
I live here
Benin has no infrastructures

I went to Benin for the first time few months back... my observation, they have very good city layout,what that means is that, the actual infrastructure may not be there but the foundation for it available.

as developed as Lagos is,there's hardly a good layout (masterly planned) city centre,except a place like SURU LERE and that explains the ease of traffic there, but but that was very visible in Benin.

your own definition of infrastructure is tarred road and roundabouts

that is the reason we haven't progressed beyond our local governments,because when someone like you gets into position of authority,you end up building roundabouts and few road label them "As massive infrastructure"

Henrydone:
This is AKURE

as in na only roundabout dey for akure?

Orikinla:

There was rivalry. It was not easy for the director, Chineze Anyaene of "Ije: the Journey" to bring them to work together on set.

they are both "A-list" star actress, it is left for the director to create the environment for harmony.
I saw the two on rehearsal for the set,and they were really friendly to each other.. I dont know where we make up this stuff

GlorifiedTunde:
Better!

When they see fellow stars dying and realize life is too short to carry grudges to the grave...

the so called grudges only happens on social media..and we are the ones that engineer it and load on people's mind.. in reality they may not be good friends but professionally they do get along without much ado

Ok so whose economy will be the top dog in Africa when the interbank market opens on Monday? South Africa’s nominal GDP was estimated at R4.0 trillion for the year 2015, by its statistics agency (Stats SA).

Nigeria’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) estimates the country’s nominal GDP to be N94 trillion at the end of 2015. The South African rand currently exchanges for 15.37 per dollar meaning the country’s R4.0 trillion GDP is equivalent to $260.2 billion.



Nigeria’s N94 trillion economy would be equivalent to $268.5 billion if the exchange rate were to move to N350 per dollar when trading begins on Monday.

It seems pretty close.

However there is also the issue of growth, which is also a factor in determining how big the nominal GDP will be by the end of 2016.

South Africa’s economy contracted by a dismal -1.2 percent in Q1, 2016, while Nigeria’s contracted by 0.37 percent.

Perhaps we can say Nigeria is doing less badly than South Africa, but sadly Africa’s largest economy and oil producer would have to lift growth rates to near double digits and double nominal GDP to N200 trillion, just to come close to the $500 billion plus economy it was in 2014.

Why am sensing hatred for this man in the heart of some people since he attacked Amaechi.

Some are wishing he is sacked.

As if he really cares

seriously what do you mean by "attacked Amaechi?"
can't people disagree again?
even husband and wife do disagree, so there is nothing evil if they don't agree on same issues

what I see here is poorly built house.
the foundation is dam too low.. there is no war you won't experience drainage issues

my God, this woman is gradually turning white?

the last I checked Nigeria is not playing in the Euro..

the last I checked, Stephen Keshi was Dead, so you should still be mourning

the title though..
as in an illite"rat".. or rather "Elite rat"

Three pupils have emerged winners of the 2016 public primary schools’ debate in Aguda-Surulere Council Area of Lagos State, with the overall winner carting home N30,000 prize money.
Eleven-year-old Onyeka Agina of Canal Primary School won with 16 points, while Ifeanyi Aronu of Umoru Primary School came second with 15 points and Chidima Igwe of Enitan Primary School placed third, scoring 14 points.
Aronu got N20,000, while Igwe went home with N10,000 prize money respectively.
Eleven primary schools participated in the 7th edition of the competition, organised by an NGO, Total Child Educational Foundation.
Speaking on the occasion, Bankole Sadipekun, the Executive Vice-President of TCEF, noted that the competition would help to identify areas of weakness among the pupils.
Sadipekun, who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria on the sideline of the competition held on Wednesday, stressed the need to lay a solid foundation for learning at the primary school level.
He said the debate had revealed the true situation at the foundation and formative level of education in the country.
He said: “Most of the pupils who participated in the competition are usually the best in their schools.
“The debate will help to identify areas of weakness among the pupils particularly public speaking and communication skills.
“The programme has also revealed how bad things are especially in the public primary schools, which is the formative level.”
The TCEF boss explained that a programme – After School Club – had been introduced to retrain the pupils in the identified areas of weakness.
He said: “We are trying to bring out the desired standard and best out of the pupils through the After School Club introduced for the pupils.”
Sadipekun noted that teachers, who also participated in the debate of their pupils, identified critical areas which required more work such as diction, subject-verb agreement among others.
Describing education as fundamental to national development, he said the interest of pupils should be sustained in education at all cost.
Agina, the winner of the competition, told NAN that he was excited about his performance and urged teachers not to relent in their effort to bring out the best in them.
He said: “I feel happy and I want to appeal to our teachers to help us as pupils so that we can be brave at all times.”
The primary five pupil, who called for regular inspection of schools, urged the state government to provide more books and improve on the facilities in schools such as regular water supply.

Ladies are usually the target.but you handed them your purse and you wanted it back intact.u are lucky to have 4k left in it

yeah. I think it is due to their innocent of heart.. they did almost the same thing to a female friend of mine in Uyo.
collected her ATM card and she gave them the PIN(after been jazzed) and the rest is history.

she is white.. Nothing more

may D singer?...

as in this singer..

my brother hate is a strong word.
it is time for you to carry your own cross

when a mother eagle feels the eaglet is not quick in learning to fly, she throws him overboard.. now that may be too harsh but, life itself is not fair.

it is time for you to gather your own fire wood.. they have done enough for.. men! you should be greatful, At this point, they owe you absolutely nothing.. infact you owe them more.

The market women in Bodija market(Ibadan) sweat for those things they wear. They dont have corruption charges on their backs, they were not oil ministers when oil sold for the highest and money started growing wings.

Do not insult Ibadan women, they might sound/look razz but they have honor and pride in not having their names smeared in thievery.

Madam, they wear gold yes, but they also have honor.

and you believe that all DEZIANI'S years of had labour from been a director in Shell and been a public servant, she can't afford jewelry?

and which court of law have you tried and convicted her?

chubbygal:
Yellow bar people at it again.

why post people's pictures on social media without their consent...and what has this got to do with the topic of discussion?

Let's be sincere for once.. the three ministeries under Fashola is a huge burden on his shoulders,and he would do himself a great deal of favor to relinquish two of it and concentrate on the most important job which is POWER.

POWER supply has become a nightmare under Fashola's watch and something drastic has to be done and done fast... this the worst It has ever been.. he seems to be biting more than he can chew and humility and forthrightness demand he focuse on power.

one major decision he has clearly gotten wrong is that of deciding not to build new power plants but instead concentrate on completing existing once... who does that?

every part of Nigeria should be a" construction site " for building of power plants..because if even if you complete existing plants, we still won't have enough, to why not start new once and increase supervision?
