First Bank charged my Naira card transaction at N1,880/$. I couldn’t believe my eyes so I reached out to their customer support on X. They didn’t even give me an appropriate answer why Bank FX rate is higher than Blackmarket.

Stick to FinTech to avoid stories that touch.

BItt:
The Nigerians data WhatsApp and Facebook collects, does it stay in Nigeria or it is sent to the parent company?

Why would Facebook send users data out of the country?

Is your NIN data in Nigeria? What about your BVN data? iNEC biometric data nko?

Dey play!

Is there suppose to be evidence somewhere? It’s a covert operation for God’s sake! The US Ambassador is not being sincere.

I guess 59,999 liter trucks are allowed.

They’re now feeding Nigerians fabricated statistics, and many are swallowing them without question. Notice how crafty they are, they conveniently skipped mentioning the tonnage of cocoa Nigeria exported in 2024 but highlighted the price instead.

Why not disclose the tonnage so we can measure the actual increase in output, rather than highlighting the increase in Naira price caused by the devaluation of the Naira? Naira was N570 in 2023, but now it’s N1750.

Incase you’re in doubt, Nigeria earned ~$670M in 2023, at the current exchange rate that amount would be over N1.17T but they want Nigerians to celebrate N664B which indicates a decline in output and revenue in 2024.

RabbitGuy:
No wrong. He is still practicing his career, but this is a side additional income/ business

No, he’s not. You can’t simultaneously be a career civil engineer and a career catfish farmer. It seems like I’m speaking to one of the government’s chills here, trying to shape the narrative and make farming seem attractive to gullible people who’ve lost their jobs due to the government’s failed economic policies.

ppogba:
But you will call it ingenuity if it were to be in US or UK.

Always easy to type on Nairaland

No one leaves a career in Civil Engineering to become a cat fish farmer. ….unless they’re retired. What is wrong with all of you?

Treasure17:

Majority of our graduates are POS operators. When the desirable is not available, the available become desirable.

Nigerians are in dire need of reorientation. Sometimes, I wonder if we’re even humans with functional brains.

Recently, someone referred to the daughter of a former minister as "old money from pedigree." When I pointed out that her father was a thief who plundered the country, he argued that it didn’t matter how the wealth was acquired.

How do we normalize such absurdity in Nigeria? Nigerians would praise the most strangest things.

Isn't it shameful that a trained civil engineer had to resort to catfish farming just to make ends meet? Nigerians would praise the most absurd of things. I think the typical Nigerian has no retrospective ability.

There’s nothing accidental about rigging elections. Chief Tinubu was not accidentally elected by Nigerians, the man rigged himself in. Let’s learn to call a spade a spade.

Buhari was an accidental leader, Tinubu got there through brute force.

Meanwhile, the EU still imports coal from Africa and Gas from Russia to power their hospitals. When are we going to commend the EU for powering their hospitals with expensive solar energy?

Here’s a great example of a greedy, ruthless thief completely disconnected from the suffering of the masses.

MOD please delete this post

Nobody asked if Oprah received a PERSONAL FEE, we’re asking if Oprah received any fee at all, say a MANAGEMENT FEE or CONSULTANCY FEE of $1M.

This is about the age her husband Tinubu recruits them into his agbero business. Go and verify! Oluremi no send you oo.

It always starts from the rich then it trickles down to the average Joe. The same Lagos pattern.

You mean FG has released campaign (vote buying) funds to APC for the Edo election?

.

In summary: Dangote is saying that N898 is too cheap and that they're going to be selling higher than N898 because they bought their crude oil in dollars.

You cannot become a software developer in 4 months. You can sell your course with a little more honesty. What can your ‘students’ learn in 4 months really? Tell me.

So, Jimoh Rukayat, a graduate of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Soil Science and Land Management became a full-stack engineer after Moatacademy 4 months course. Wonderful!

Which tech stack did she learn at Moat? Tell me. I'm a full stack engineer.

How much has RMB invested in Nigeria since they discovered her attractiveness?

Kalatium:
It sometimes shows automatic repair screen but still yet nothing is repaired at the end.

I said let me know when you get there, we can diagnose the problem from there. Next time you see “Automatic Repair” click on Advanced Option >> Troubleshoot >> Startup Settings >> Restart.

At this point you’re now in Safe Mode. Let me know when you get there.

Try booting to Safe Mode and give me feedback. We can work through it from there.

HOW TO GET TO SAFE MODE

Restart your computer while holding the F8 key.

OR

Keep restarting your computer until you see the ‘Automatic Repair’ screen.

Lagos State has done so much for its citizens that nobody in the state should stand up and say they are going to break anything.

Just read the quote above and see how deluded these people are. Lagos does not even have pipe-borne water, a proper sewage system, or even adequate security. Everyone pays for their own community security, but these clown wants to tell us that Lagos has done so much for its citizens.

Done what exactly? Outline what Lagosians enjoy from the government here.

Arobaga:
Tinubu should lead by reciting Nigeria we hail thee

Tinubu no fit read alphabets from A to Z

Wetin full Tinubu head as we speak na “how many finger scoops of cocaine go full one nose”

😂😂

Fitch recently downgraded Nigeria to B- but the illegitimate Govt is celebrating it. Clueless mfs are celebrating junk status!

Look at where Nigeria is on the rating chart.

Emilokan growing the IGR as promised. Agbadorians right now.

budaatum:
Diversification. I've already shorted the currency, and even hedged it into the loan I gave you, but the currency goes up and down, so my killing isn't guaranteed, unlike the long-term interest payments from your B- rating which was guaranteed. And hopefully you'd default or renegotiate because you can't pay so I make even more.

The only annoyance, as far as my portfolio is concerned, is now that you've gone from 18th out of 18 to 16th, I'd have to charge you less interest on future loans.

Excellent strategy, sir. You're a better investor than me. I'm not sure I'll be able to match your risk appetite.

LegendHero:
But if Nigeria rank 16th before and dropped to 18, you and your fellow bitter soul will curse Nigeria for dropping.

Fitch the body that rates said Nigeria outlook look better compared to before, so why should we listen to a nobody on Nairaland trying to downgrade Nigeria?

Except Nigeria's status did not improve from the 18th to the 16th. Nigeria has been consistently ranked 16th of 18 (B-) for the past 2 years. We have made no significant progress whatsoever, rather, we have been downgraded thrice since the APC came to power. We have consistently dropped in ranking from BB- to B+ to B, and now B-, yet the illegitimate Govt wants us to celebrate failure. Attached is our 5 years ranking history from Fitch.

What exactly are you celebrating?

Nonny95:
Don't mind that clown.

He's a Sycophant and can't reason properly.

Calling that man a sycophant is putting it nicely. Sycophants aim to get some benefits but this man has been so affected by poor Govt policies that his wife now uses charcoal-pot to cook concoction rice but he's still happily supporting the Govt.

budaatum:
I might, especially if the investment is a loan on which the interest charged would be high due to inherent risk.

And hopefully, you will default, which will increase the principal you owe on which you'd pay an increased interest since it's not like a country can file for bankruptcy.

I see your point with the fg spin, however.

Why go through all the trouble when you could just short the currency and make a killing like everyone else?
