richmond500: As for me, lunch is not part of my meals again.
It's not like I can't provide lunch but that will put me in tight budget and I may not have something to save at the end of the day. L Even though I make a little above 100k in profits. In Nigeria, if you earn N100k in places like Rivers state, Bruh u are broke, and I begin to feel bad for those earning around 50k, ona deh try.
The United is one of the world largest economy and they control large trade in service sector most especially amd together with her the western nations who are behind them china has to be careful
Love800: Okay. I ask, because i usually take it when am feeling so weak. Very weak. Its not dat i have headache or any form of malaria. But i just take it, just incase its malaria/fever.
no i dont think its appropriate to take malaria drugs once one is well and okay..... Even here if u are feeling unwell u go to the hospital they will say go get bed rest and if possible vitamins c. They have no idea what malaria is because that sickness is hardly seen here. And also typhoid u hardly get it here.
So remove these two parasite causing headaches u will see that in a year u wont need any tablets
Love800: Ok. But let me drift away from the main topic. I want to ask, do you take malaria drugs even if you are not sick? Is it advisable?
I went for a show... An outdoor event where i want to work for 3 days and my mouth started testing bitter. I did not know it was from the disinfectant they i used to clean my hand and i now mistaken used the dry hand to touch my lips to clean stuff.. It made my mouth bitter i thought its malaria so i took d drugs.
It was after 4 weeks i went for another out job and same thing happened that i knew it was from the kind of disinfected.
I will create a thread om this.... When i traveled out i found out this
Since i left i only took paracetamol just 8 tablet within 10 months and malaria drugs just once same period. There was no reason to take these drugs as i was tired due to too much work and felt like taking it.
All medication i took in my bag will expire next year.. A bag filled with different medicine.
The constant malaria, typhoid etc forced us to take heavy drugs to much for that kidney i guesss.
Ajens1991: Stop drinking hot whiskey, you will not hear... Hot whiskey in a hot climate... Oyibo man wey carry whiskey come, their climate nor be the same with our own oo
Plus constant drugs.. Like paracetamol and others we do take
OALandAgents: Reserves is not an achievement, it takes not effort or brainpower to allow money to accumulate in a bank doing nothing
Bad governance to be building reserves when your country is lacking in infrastructure; No roads , No Railways Liquidized our national carrier No electricity Rising insecurity across the country. Refineries left to decay
Truth is Obasanjo did nothing but loot and scatter in his 8 years. Obasanjo was an unmitigated disaster!
Are you an economist? Who gave you that idea? If there is no savings there will be no investment. Even the ants which are not complex as human understand the importance of savings. They saved foods in summer against winter
Anither563: The foreign reserve is built not just by saving but also by earning through exports and prudent management of the economy. The APC administration met a huge debt and still worked to build the reserves.
Nigerian government has been earning more from crude oil export but has failed to grow the reserve. If OBJ could achieve that feet then we expect 5 to 6 billion dollars added to the reserve each year
Rooomage: Honestly! There is no point engaging them. It is better to allow them to wallow in their stupidity.
I decided not to include articles from newspapers rather all data was gotten from CBN and highly reputable sources and academic research paper.
PDP under goodluck had it lapses as he allowed the reserve to tank a little probably due to the 2009 global economic meltdown but again the reserve picked up again shortly.
Again GEJ also borrowed and total external debt grew to N10.4 trillion as at June 2014.
This might be one of the reasons OBJ kicked against his government.
But APC took the borrowing and lavishing of the reserve to another level... Today the total external debt is at N56. 02 trillion (US$42.12 billion)
The importance of foreign reserve to any nations should not be overstated. In fact it helps nation to be able to maintain exchange rate and price stability and also meet any external obligations etc. OBJ assumed leadership in May 1 1999. Despite inheriting just 4.99 billion from the military regim on May 1999, obasanjo never complained but he remained focused and by 2006 the foreign reserve jumped to USD38.07 billion as at July 31, 2006 Source: https://dc.cbn.gov.ng/bullion/vol30/iss3/6/ Note oil price as at May 1999 was just $13.92 per barrel And by the end of December 2006 the reserve increased to US$42.42 billion while oil prices was $55 to $56 per barrel-source:https://www.cbn.gov.ng/monetarypolicy/Conduct/2007.asp#:~:text=As%20at%20November%202007%2C%20the,of%20current%20foreign%20exchange%20disbursements
And by July 2008 the reserve was standing at US$62.40 billion and David & Baba went on further to opined that this made Nigeria the twenty-fourth largest reserves holder in the world. https://hdl.handle.net/10419/142051 Oil price was between 100 but fell to basat December.
Obasanjo regime thought it wise to start saving for the raining day by opening an excess crude account in 2005 and by 2008 the savings in the account was 20 billion dollars
Note that obasanjo regime successfully paid over 12 billion dollars before this debt was forgiven Source:https://www.cgdev.org/blog/nigeria-unloads-paris-club-debt-what-next#:~:text=On%20April%2021%20Nigeria%20made,%2C%20an%20overall%2060%25%20discount This means that as at 2008 Nigeria had over 62.40 billion dollars achieved within 9 years.
How much could Nigeria have saved assuming we continued with same trajectory? With a more conservative approach, reducing the growth rate given the economic and global factors, Nigeria's foreign reserves could have reached approximately $245 billion to over $300 billion by 2024.
And the current party has been in power for 9 years and couldn't increase the reserve rather they deplated it to 32 billion dollars.
Titus Sardine price is just a reflection of global trends, not solely Tinubu's doing. Let’s focus on the bigger picture and support our leaders instead of spreading negativity.
Which one is global trend? Here I am a day wage of 12hrs is enough to feed me and my family of two for 20 days.
Protesters in UK loot shops as Starmer vows far-right rioters will ‘regret’ action
Protesters in UK loot shops as Starmer vows far-right rioters will ‘regret’ action UK leader Keir Starmer warned far-right protesters on Sunday they would “regret” participating in England’s worst rioting in 13 years, as disturbances linked to the murder of three children earlier this week flared across the country for a fifth day.
Masked anti-immigration demonstrators smashed several windows at a hotel that has been used to house asylum seekers in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.
Unrest related to misinformation about the mass stabbing last Monday in the northwestern English seaside town of Southport has impacted multiple towns and cities, with anti-immigration demonstrators clashing with police.
The violence is posing an early major challenge for Starmer, who was elected only a month ago after leading Labour to a landslide win over the Conservatives.
“I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder. Whether directly or those whipping up this action online, and then running away themselves,” Starmer said in a TV address.
He added that there was “no justification” for what he called “far-right thuggery” and promised to bring the perpetrators “to justice”.
Footage aired on the BBC showed rioters forcing their way into a Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham. They also pushed a burning bin into the building. It was not clear whether asylum seekers were inside.
In the northeastern English city of Middlesbrough, hundreds of protesters squared up to riot police carrying shields. Some threw bricks, cans and pots at officers.
The fresh disturbances came after more than 90 people were arrested on Saturday following skirmishes at far-right rallies in Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, Blackpool and Hull, as well as Belfast in Northern Ireland.
Rioters threw bricks, bottles and flares at police — injuring several officers — looted and burnt shops, while demonstrators shouted anti-Islamic slurs as they clashed with counter-protesters.
The violence is the worst England has seen since the summer of 2011, when widespread rioting took place following the police killing of a mixed-race man in north London.
“We’re now seeing it (trouble) flooding across major cities and towns,” said Tiffany Lynch of the Police Federation of England and Wales.
Riots first flared in Southport on Tuesday night following Monday’s frenzied knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party in the northwest coastal city, before spreading up and down England.
– ‘Wake-up call’ – They were fuelled by false rumours on social media about the background of British-born 17-year-old suspect Axel Rudakubana, who is accused of killing a six, seven, and nine-year-old, and injuring another 10 people.
Police have blamed the violence on supporters and associated organisations of the English Defence League, an anti-Islam organisation founded 15 years ago whose supporters have been linked to football hooliganism.
Agitators have targeted at least two mosques, and the UK interior ministry announced Sunday it was offering new emergency security to the Islamic places of worship.
The rallies have been advertised on far-right social media channels under the banner “Enough is enough”.
Participants have waved English and British flags while chanting slogans like “Stop the boats” — a reference to irregular migrants travelling to Britain from France.
Anti-fascist demonstrators have held counter-rallies in many cities, including Leeds where they shouted, “Nazi scum off our streets”, as the far-right protesters chanted, “You’re not English any more”.
Not all the gatherings have turned violent. A peaceful one in Aldershot, southern England, on Sunday saw participants hold placards that read “Stop the invasion” and “We’re not far right, we’re just right”.
“People are fed up with being told you should be ashamed if you’re white and working class but I’m proud white working class,” 41-year-old Karina, who did not give her surname, told AFP in Nottingham on Saturday.
Commentators have suggested that the demonstrators may feel emboldened by the political ascendancy of anti-immigration elements in British politics.
At last month’s election, the Reform UK party led by Brexit cheerleader Nigel Farage captured 14 percent of the vote — one of the largest vote shares for a far-right British party.
Carla Denyer, co-leader of the left-wing Green party, said the unrest should be “a wake-up call to all politicians who have actively promoted or given in” to anti-immigration rhetoric.
Hannania: If you can legit get the residence permit of either of the countries, then you can apply after just 4 months of issuance. Before your AD, the six months would have been met. Benin republic issues AD every month, but it's limited
What about someone that reside in UK via Master... Will the UK residential permit be of any help
Coldspice: Hope you know Igalas own the land in the oil producing part of Anambra. Hope you know Governor Obiano is from Igala land. Hope you know the current Chief of Naval staff from Enugu is from the Igala speaking part.
You are mere caretakers. When the time comes, Arewa will collect every inch of its land back from Igbos.
